"Fire!" Ulrich yelled and a missal aimed and destroyed one of the two sharks.
"Fire!" Maya shouted and shot a missal...that missed the other shark and hit Ulrich's hub.
"WHAT THE HELL HOPPER? ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME VIRTUALIZED FOREVER!" Ulrich shouted
"IT WAS A MISTAKE STERN, CALM YOUR-"
"MAYA! ULRICH!" Jeremy yelled, "Stop fighting; Maya try to aim better and Ulrich don't cry if you get hit... but you only have about 85 percent power left."
"WHAT THE HELL HOW COULD I LOOSE..." He stopped yelling so he could do the math.
"FIFTEEN!" Maya yelled, "YOU LOST FIFTEEN PERCENT OF POWER WITH ONE HIT. GET OVER IT!"
"Guys stop yelling and help Aelita!" Odd yelled as his hub came driving over theirs, "Fire!" He yelled and destroyed the other shark.
"Aelita? Are you okay?" Jeremy asked.
"I'm fine, why didn't my missals launch though?"
"William thinks Robin Hood sabotaged one of the hubs," Odd said.
"We don't know that for sure though," Jeremy said, "Aelita, Ulrich, get back to Yumi; your hubs will be able to recharge."
"Alright!" The four said and raced off to find Yumi.
"Yumi? Where are you? The others are looking for you, their hubs need to recharge," Jeremy said.
"Jeremy... Me and William are being ambushed."
"Huh? By what?"
Arrows were being shot THREE at a time at William and Yumi.
"We need to split up!" William said loudly.
"Alright, I'll go left. GO!"
They turned different directions but the shooter followed William. William turned around to see how the shooter was following them and gasped. Robin Hood was SWIMMING in the digital sea. Just him and his arrows. Does that make him virtualized forever? William thought as an arrow hit the tire part of his hub. The light inside his hub began blinking bright red.
"Well this doesn't look too good," William sighed, "Jeremy? I think I'm in trouble."
"William?" Jeremy took a scan of William's hub, "William you're sinking?"
"Einstein, you know once we're UNDER water, we can't sink right?" Maya said.
"I know but... that's what it says here; That William's hub is sinking deeper."
"I can't even drive this thing anymore," William said frantically as he tried to move his hub around.
"Yumi-"
"I've already found him Jeremy," Yumi said as William's sinking hub can into view. She drove down closer to him but as soon as her hub touched his... nothing happened.
"Jeremy was something supposed to happen?" She asked.
"William what exactly wrong with your hub?" Jeremy asked, "You guys were all supposed to connect back into the MegaPod."
"Well doesn't seem like that's gonna happen," Ulrich muttered as he found Yumi and William's sinking hub.
"What're we gonna-" Maya was cut off my William shouting.
"Jeremy! There-there's water coming inside!"
"JEREMY I THOUGHT YOU MADE THIS THING TO NOT GET ANY WATER INSIDE!" Ulrich yelled.
"SHUT UP ULRICH, IT'S NOT LIKE HE KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN!" Maya yelled back.
"GUYS STOP!" Aelita yelled, "Look we need to help William."
"Ah! Jeremy does this mean I'm virtualized forever!" William shrieked.
"No... well not yet any-"
"WHAT SO YOU MEAN I WILL BE VIRTUALIZED FOREVER?" William shouted.
"Again," Ulrich muttered.
"Well maybe if you guys let me EXPLAIN!" Jeremy shouted at them, "Not until the hub is completely filled with water."
"The water is up to my ankle; how does it stop?"
"Guys get him to the surface."
"How? Yumi asked.
"I know!" Odd yelled.
"Oh great, another one of Odd's genius ideas," Ulrich said sarcastically.
"At least he has an idea," Maya muttered.
"Why don't we all just get under William's hub and.. like drive up?"
"ODD THAT'S TOTALLY-
"Genius!" Maya cut off Ulrich, "And it's worth a try."
"What happens if we end up filling his hub with more water?" Ulrich asked.
"Then we stop and try something else," Aelita said.
"We can't just gamble with William's life here!" Yumi yelled.
"GUYS DIGITAL SEA WATER FILLS A HUB VERY QUICKLY." Water was up to Williams' knee.
"Alright Odd, and me," Aelita said. Odd went under the hubs left side; and Aelita under the right.
"GO!" They shouted and the same time and drove up. William's hub shook and he slammed into the left side, "Watch it!" he yelled at them.
"You guys look-" Ulrich was cut short from an arrow that bounced on his hub cap, "Huh?"
"Looks like our friend is back," Yumi said as she saw Robin Hood turn around and swim away.
"Looks like he got scared," Ulrich muttered.
"We should follow him," Maya said quietly, " Wait guys," she said louder, "Jeremy we should follow him!"
"No way!" Yumi and Ulrich shouted.
"What? Why?"
"It could be a trap," Yumi said.
"He could have a huge army of Digital Sea monsters just waiting," Ulrich said.
"OR! He could be going somewhere that could be a clue of who he really is or where David is!"
"Jeremy tell her she's crazy," Ulrich said.
"Uh Einstein," William said, "I don't think this plan is working." He had his feet on the seat in the hub, to avoid touching the Digital Sea filled hub.
"What if we formed the Mega Pod," Maya said, " We'll use Odd's plan and it could get him up there faster right?"
"Great Plan," Ulrich said, "But! Without William's hub we can't form properly."
"Ulrich's right," Jeremy sighed making Ulrich feel a little smug, "But! If one of you don't form with the others it could make a Mega Pod. Just a four-wheeler."
"What?" Ulrich spat. That's so-"
"Perfect!" Maya smiled, "You guys form, and I'll go look for Robin Hood."
"He'll see you coming and you'll be hit next smartass."
"Not if I'm invisible," She grinned and with that her hub vanished.
"She has a point Ulrich," Jeremy laughed.
"Hey guys remember me? The guys who's about to drown in his own hub!"
Jeremy suppressed a laugh, "Alright, guys you know what to do."
Aelita and Odd quickly drove away from under the hub and attached themselves with Yumi's hub. Even Ulrich joined in and a smaller Mega-Pod was formed.
"Do I still drive?" Yumi asked.
"Yup, now hurry, William's sinking again."
"Guys?" William asked as he felt something hit the bottom of his hub again. He was now standing on the seat but the Sea water up to his chest.
"It's just us William," Yumi smiled. She began to drive up; "Don't go to fast," Jeremy reminded her.
"UH maybe she should," William said in a panicky way as the water seemed to be coming up faster to his neck.
The Mega-Pod zoomed upward to get out the digital sea, but William's hub kept getting filled with water.
"The hub is 95% filled guys," Jeremy's voiced was filled with worry. William had to tip-toe on the seat and press his face to the top of the hub just to stay away from being under water.
"96, 97, 98, 9-" Williams hub was pushed out from the water with so much force it landed on the surface of the sector.
The gang got out of the Mega-Pod as Jeremy said, "Quick someone smash the top part of-" Aelita reacted before the others, "Energy Field!" And the glass top of the hub broke. The water filled out and disappeared as it landed on the sectors surface.
"William?" Yumi asked as she walked near him; her hand stretched out as if she was about to touch him, but was to scared.
"Jeremy is he gonna be okay?" Odd asked.
"Well it says-" William disappeared from the hub ; his body looking like he was devirtualizated.
"Jer-"
"Don't worry Yumi, he's coming out of the scanners," Jeremy smiled.
"Good," She sighed.
"Hey William, you alright?" Jeremy asked as William wobbled out of the scanner.
"Never better," He gave a weak smile and a thumbs up.
"Alright, Robin Hood, where are you hiding," Maya said out loud to herself. She could have sworn she saw him swim by this way, but now he was nowhere to be-
"There you are," she grinned as she saw a person swimming away towards something.
I wonder what would happened if he was shot with something.
She held her breath and pressed the launch missal button. The missal went zooming through the water towards the shooter.
