41 Travelling Underwater * (1/2)

Phoebe was the first to jump on, she then turned around and waved her hand towards her, ”What are you guys doing, get on already”.

Lachlan was the second person on, like usual, he disappeared from his original spot and appeared next to Phoebe.

”Whoa, you really are fast,” Phoebe said.

Everyone else followed Lachlan, Simon, Georgia, joe, Zoe, then finally Chloe. Just as they were about to leave they heard a shout from behind.

”Wait!” a person exclaimed, looking back the group realised it was James, ”You forgot to take a map with you, without it you could easily get lost”.

James held out an electronic device, one they've never seen before. They heard their phone alarm go off, well aside from Lachlan who didn't have a phone.

Looking down they realised it was a map, filled with bits of information about the surrounding waters, what they've discovered so far. The group was impressed the Navy has done so much in such little time.

”Thanks!” They shouted.

”Okay Faith let's go,” Phoebe said.

The turtle rumbled a bit, looking down they quickly realised they were sinking into the ocean. Simon appeared next to Phoebe in seconds, ”What's going on? Are you trying to drown us?”

”Of course not, just wait, the water won't even touch you,” Phoebe explained.

The rest of the group was still nervous, but quickly felt relaxed when they saw that the water wasn't getting closer to them.

The further they sunk the more mystical it became. A dome could be seen surrounding the group, protecting them from any water.

Seconds later the Turtle and the group were finally submerged within the water, but the turtle didn't stop there. It continued its descent until it reached a couple hundred metres below sea level.

Looking up, they noticed they couldn't see the sky anymore, and sure there was light, but they couldn't see the sun clearly either. Looking around, they tried to see some fishes, unfortunately, they couldn't detect any.

”If you're trying to find anything don't bother, this turtle has an aura that terrifies anything weaker then it, which means a majority of fish won't come anywhere close,” Phoebe explained.

”Damn, that sucks, oh well I'll take a nap then,” Lachlan said. He then looked through his bag and took out a pillow, placed it under his head and went to sleep.

”Have to admit, I'm really jealous of people that can do that,” Simon said.

”Same,” Chloe said.

”Anyway, I suggest you guys get comfortable, this is going to take a few hours,” Phoebe explained.

”Alright,” They all said.

Everyone went through their bags and got out some stuff to make themselves comfortable, blankets and pillows.

…

Back at the navy base, all the superiors were gathered within the room, sitting down and discussing important matters.

”We need to find a way to improve our weaponry quickly,” an old man said.

”Indeed, unfortunately, improving weapons isn't something that can happen quickly,” James replied.
