[Oh, no!]
Ruri was having fun chatting with Jaxx, but soon she snapped nervously and disappeared.
Soon a blaring alarm sounded. Looking at the readings, "What the hell is this!" Jaxx and the others exclaimed.
Although the size of the new signal was almost the same as the Meg, its speed said the complete opposite, and its direction was actually the abandoned sub.
"No, it's heading to the suited person," Li ming said, noticing the man just hovering there.
To backtrack, this was one of the very few new unique things that she saw today and that were coming from someone in the exploring business.
The moment they thought they would lose their diving team to a ramming attack of the shark, this man in a diving suit appeared in front of it and shot him with some unique weapon.
Not long later, a completely black sub appeared, dragging the attention of the other Meg away, while they were at it, they decided to get into banter like every Sunday morning sibling drama.
Now with all said and done, they owe those two a great deal of thanks.
[Feather, abort now!] The person piloting the black sub alarmed him before anyone could react. [The energy signal is on you.]
Surprisingly, the man in the suit didn't react as if he didn't hear her. "Ruri? What's wrong with him?" Seeing no reaction from him, jaxx asked. starting to freak out.
But before anything could happen, a red flash passed by and slammed Yuki into the sub, breaking through it cleanly.
The latter exploded, sending a shockwave around.
[Evacuation condition!] Mark, gathering his bearing, asked his rescue mission. Seconds without a response. "Jonas, answer me brother."
[We are alright, just a mishap of communication due to the explosion. Everyone is good in the evacuation sub, but the diver..." Jonas's voice came, relieving them.
[Feather, do you copy?] Wanda asked nervously, as if her soul just left. Seconds without an answer. [Come on, boy, don't do that to me. Answer!]
In despair, she turned, activating all the drones, sending them to the vicinity, and soon, she tracked a high-speed object tearing the water around.
"Ruri, what**'s** wrong?" Wanda asked while trying to calibrate the monitor on the high speed. "Come on, help me here."
[Affirmative.]
A couple of seconds went by, and a clean shot was fed to the screens for Wanda and the observation deck.
In it, Yuki in his suit was using his spear to block a bite from a red fish with a weird look, and was being dragged at super speed. They couldn't see it clearly. Thankfully, the fish was actually the signal emitter, and by that, they could track it.
Going full throttle, Wanda followed the trace. Along the way, she let go of multiple light beacons.
"Now let's see who dares to hurt our little boy in his first mission." With that, her sclera turned black and her pupils turned metallic red. With that, the sub accelerated at double the normal throttle, gaining a reddish shine.
Soon the signal did a U-turn, passing above one of the lights, revealing her form.
[Whalefish? This big? Impossible!] suyin's voice came from the comms, and it was justified.
Whalefish is a fish known in the deep sea, and its length hardly surpasses a half-meter in records.
Now they come face to face with this blind fish and it had a length that surpasses that of a normal whale. What kind of concept is that.
"Wait, his suit lights are flashing weirdly," Jonas said.
Then all of them noticed that the video was true. The little girl looked at her sister. "It looks like Morse Code."
[That's because it is, good girl.] Wanda said and dragged the controlling stick, halting her ride, then steering up to above. she activated her private comms.
[This is Skull to Mama Hen. Do you copy?] After waiting for a second, the answer came. [This is Mama Hen. We are in our dive now. Any instruction?]
[Good. Hover over my signal, and bring all the weapons online, ready for action.] Wanda said.
Leaving the fog, she came closer to the now hovering main sub. [Ruri, give him the signal.]
After seeing that all the lights below the fog went down. Soon Yuki got his signal and broke free from the fish, summoning his wings and using them as propellers, driving up.
"What are they doing?" DJ asked, confused at the fast yet unknown actions.
"Kill the light when ready, I am bringing the party up," Miying said, gaining the attention of everyone.
[Now I understand!] From the almost surfaced sub, Jonas said. [He isn't being pushed back, he's holding onto that thing. Smart move.]
"And how is that smart exactly?" DJ asked. "Being right in the mouth of an unknown giant species doesn't sound like something that screams smart."
"Well, in a way, that's the only safe place," Jaxx said. "I mean, from the speed of that thing, it will be hell to just get a visual on it befor geting biten. Him tanking that first attack was probably pure luck, and he didn't want to risk putting himself in that situation again, even if he knew what was coming."
Looking at her second before nodding.
"So instead of breaking from it and not knowing what to do, he will break from it and drag it to the fire area?" Mark said. "But with his speed, he won't generate enough force to outpace him."
"Holly shit, did he strap himself to a rocket? Guys, look!" DJ screamed, before sending the measurements he got to the main screen.
"That dude is ascending like a rocket launch! What kind of tech does he had in that suit?" Miying said with shining eyes.
"More like what kind of body he has to tolerate this kind of pressure. Having the speed of a torpedo doesn't equal you can go to that speed."
[I got visual on the breaking point.]
The moment Yuki found himself in the Thermic Fog, he retracted his wings, then pushed the engines to the max.
Breaking through, he took a sharp turn and floated in place, reading his shot gun.
[Okay, boys, let's burn this bitch down! All triggers on, when you got visual!] Wanda screamed, reading her weapon after Yuki got out of the way.
Then the first second, 2, the 3 … but nothing came out.
[Ruri? What's wrong?] Yuki asked, as he was surprised. Calculating the timing, it should be out by now, and getting her ass full of holes.
[It retreated before touching the Thermic Fog. All the scanners affirm that it is now going in the other direction.]
Hearing Ruri, Yuki's mind filled with questions, but surprisingly, he started to laugh.
[You're joking, right? Did the pressure play with your head?] Wanda said reproachfully as the last situation almost left her in cardiac arrest.
[You're joking, right? That thing chose NOT to follow me! If you ask me, that's more interesting than seeing a monkey dancing balle!]
This got a moment of silence. [Why dancing monkey?] Jaxx asked.
[I don't know, just came to my mind,] Yuki said after seconds of thinking. [Anyway, that leaves a lot of questions, like why he didn't follow, and why he got after me specifically if he didn't want to kep going?]**
"What do you mean?" Wanda asked confusedly, but the answer didn't come.
[Let's talk about that later. Get the hatch ready, I think I broke something,] Yuki said, getting to the side of the sub Wanda was driving.
After entering, both subs blew their tanks again and started to float directly.
"Okay, Ruri, keep the drones below on watch." After making sure everything was good, she turned to catch Yuki just taking off his suit. "Holy shit!! What happened!"
"Let's face it," Yuki said, setting down, while taking some kind of teeth from a gash on his side. "I have been through worse."
"Worse my ass." Taking the mask, and getting closer to his side. "Holy shit, you need medical care."
"I know, but I already closed the wound and middle the broken ones with with muscle pressure and energy stitch. I can hold until we get at Mana-1," Yuki said with a sigh. "Man, I really wish we had a healer in a time like this."
"But what really happened? I don't believe you didn't see it coming," Wanda said while pressing now the closed wound. "Ruri, make Mana-1 ready for medical care and take control over the sub."
"Close the comms too," Yuki added before looking at Wanda.
"What?" Wanda asked, not knowing what was wrong with the kid.
"It's not that I didn't see it coming, but I couldn't move at all," Yuki said, remembering the attack.
