Ulrich and Odd walked together before seeing Aelita exit a class room.
"Hey Aelita, seen Einstein lately?" Odd asked.
"No, I havent seen him all day." Aelita said.
"Speak of the devil, here he comes." Ulrich said as Jeremie ran to them.
"Let me guess...you fell asleep at your keyboard again, right?" Sunset asked.
"Yeah? How'd you know? Those mind powers?" Jeremie asked.
"Your keyboard is imprinted on your forehead." Sunset said.
"Oh, that." Jeremie said. "I was working on another way to bring willam back…"
"Hey, Ulrich. Look whos on you again." Lemon said seeing none other than Hiroki approaching him.
"I got this." Ulrich said.
"Ulrich, you're a hit with girls right?" Hiroki asked.
"Depends on the girl." Ulrich said.
"My sister for one." Hiroki said.
"Uh...look, Yumi and I are just good friends." Ulrich said.
"Surrrre.. Keep telling yourself that, buddy." Rainbow said.
"Its true! And shouldn't you be somewhere else?" Ulrich asked.
"Nah. I got time to listen in on your little man to man talk." Rainbow smirked.
"Look. The thing is...I have a crush on Milly." Hiroki said.
"The journalist girl? Wow. Look, if you wanna impress her, go find her a bit of news, a big scoop." Rainbow said.
"Yeah. Big scoop." Hiroki said. "Thanks." he said running off.
"Wow, thanks." Ulrich said.
"Any time. Not that i know how to pick up boys…" Rainbow said.
"Keep tellin yourself that." Ulrich said.
"Hey, its only good when I say it." Rainbow said. "But uh… dont you think he had a really nasty idea?"
"Like what?" Ulrich asked.
"I dunno, say… his sisters Diary?" Rainbow said.
"Please. He might be a pest but even he wouldn't go that far." Ulrich said.
Inside the cafeteria, the group was talking as Twilight and Indigo sat together.
"Okay. Any word on the fossils yet?" Twilight asked.
"Nothing yet. Its hard to find some good animal rumors in this school." Indigo said.
"Yeah. I asked the newspaper and I get stuck in a 2 hour long interview." Twilight said.
"Well, I know a place we could try." Indigo said holding some fishing rods. "I was doing some research and it turns out we can find a pokemon called Omastar under the ocean floor and they stay close to shore. So, how about a little fishing? We don't have classes this afternoon."
"Sure thing." Twilight said. "I've actually gotten pretty good at it while we were relaxing in Alola after the whole core thing. Have some of my caught ocean dwelling pokemon in the ocean room of the ship."
"We have an ocean room?" Indigo asked.
"We have a lot of new rooms thank to that reward you scored from the IP." Twilight said. "Now the pokemon you and I catch can live in them when not being used."
"Yeah, for got all about that." Indigo said. "So, what do we know about Omastar?"
"It evolved from Omanyte when restored from the fossils Chopper found. Its been around in the ocean floor since ancient times." Twilight said. "Its a water and rock type."
"You can have it. I got Carracosta so no worries." Indigo said.
"Hmmm." Twilight said.
A little bit later…
The two of them were fishing by the shore as they saw the lyoko warriors running in with Rainbow as Yumi looked upset.
"What's with Yumi?" Indigo asked.
"Hiroki stole her diary and lost it on campus." Twilight said.
"What? That is low. No guy steals a girls diary." Indigo said.
"And when he thought he found it, all the pages were gone. Talk about a real sicko. Taking pages from a diary." Twilight said.
"Maybe someone took the pages and ripped them out." Indigo said.
"Yeah. A sicko who likes going through someone's privacy." Twilight said. "Oh! I caught something! I got…." Twilight said before looking disappointed. "A boot. Why do people always lose boots in the water?"
"Dont ask me. Maybe we can use something to help us get this thing better." Indigo said.
"Like bait?" Twilight asked. "Well yeah, I guess that could work. Omastar seems to be a relative to a starfish so we should use barnacles."
"Sounds like a plan. But uh… do we have any?" Indigo asked.
"I recently scraped some off of the Sunny." Twilight said showing a bucket of them.
"Perfect." Indigo said as they put them on their fishing rods and cast. Twilights rod then shook.
"Better not be another boot." Twilight said reeling it in as out of it flew a starfish like creature in a shell. "Gotcha!" she said tossing a Dive Ball as it shook then dinged. "And caught."
"Nice." Indigo said. "Now, hopefully, the others havent tried to launch the skid without us."
"I saw Rainbow with them so its probably already launched. Besides it only has room for one extra." Twilight said. "But don't worry. She's probably fine."
In the Digital Sea…
"I am far from fine." Rainbow said as she sailed through the sea with a Konger after her. "Eat missile, fish boy!" She launched a torpedo at the Konger and blew it up right off the bat. "Yes!"
"SOmeones having fun." Ulrich said. "And there torpedoes."
"Missiles, torpedoes, all I need to know is that they make enemies go kaboom." Rainbow said.
"Whatever. We're meeting back at the Skid." Ulrich said.
"Roger." Rainbow said as they all reconvened. All but one. "Huh? Is Yumi still fighting?"
"Maybe, or.." Ulrich said.
"Not good. She's...lost at sea." Jeremie said.
"What? We have to find her!" Rainbow said.
"That's gonna be impossible. The sonar is down and without the sonar we won't be able to locate her. We don't have much choice. Return to the lab and I'll try and repair it." Jeremie said.
"But she could be fishfood by the time we fix it. No pun intended." Rainbow said.
"All right. We'll search for a few minutes, then its back to the dock." Jeremie said.
"Booyah!" Rainbow said detaching as she rocketed off. In a matter of a minutes, she found Yumi, and also another Nav Skid with eerie designs and a familiar face inside it.
"What? Willam? How did he get his hands on this stuff?" Rainbow said. "But I can't focus on that now. I need to keep him away from Yumi." she said opening firing at William as he evaded.
"Thanks Rainbow, thought i was a goner." Yumi said.
"No prob. Never leave someone hangin in my book." Rainbow said. "Now let's head on home. We'll get ya a good book and some coco." she said as the two sailed off.
Later…
"So, Yumi and Hiroki are cool?" Indigo asked.
"Yep. Apparently Yumi found the pages on her bed when she got home. All is well between them." Twilight said.
"Great. Family is always important, ya know?" Indigo asked.
"Yeah." Twilight said. "Lacys on Freezeman and Damien on Shademan. But theres one more I know that has to be back. Cosmoman."
"That robot Bass destroyed? The one who stole our friends away? He can shut down abilities easily. Its gonna be hard for any of us to go against that guy." Indigo said.
"Yeah, anything the disc attaches to is immediately brought down. But It only works on skin contact. If one of us happened to be robotic with a protection against it…" Twilight said.
"Yeah. I think I remember Bass saying Cosmoman tried to use it on him but it didn't work. So it doesn't affect anything robotic. But that alone might not cut it. We'd need something that would explode if he hit it." Indigo said.
"Hi guys." Viola said walking by with her shirt ripped. "Don't mind me. I tripped on my way out of the ice cream parlor." she said as firetrucks were heard moving past to said place.
"Hello other helper." Indigo said to herself and Twilight.
"Yeah. Viola would definitely be able to hold her own against him, but for how long is unsure." Twilight said. "But when he is discovered, won't that be an interesting fight."
"Implying that noting gets destroyed. And what happened to that protective skin?" Indigo asked.
"Oh that. I lost it in my room so I've been walking without it." Viola said.
"Oh no… just how many accidental trips did you have?" Twilight asked.
"Counting that….6. Wait, 7! Forgot about the drycleaners." Viola chuckled as she headed inside.
"Well, this makes things really interesting at least." Indigo said.
"Yeah. Now we just have to know a strategy for who to send with Viola to fight our last general." Twilight said.
