It was the next day after the Atlantis trip and while the sub was diving deeper, the team was gathering samples of things once more as they followed it down into the dark deep. "What do you think is at the bottom of this realm?" Ken asks as he picks up some glowing algae growing on the side of a rocky wall.
"Who knows! It could be anything! Maybe it's SHARK!" Mathew says, shouting in fear at the end as he practically swims into Ken, two rolling out of the way as a giant wall of flesh swims quickly past them. Scarlet and Amanda quickly get out of its way as well. Nate gets tossed by a fin but he quickly rights himself.
"WHAT IS THAT!?" Amanda shouts fearfully.
The radar on the sub pings loudly as the giant shark finally appears on the radar "W-What the!?" Micheal says seeing it too close. He quickly gets the sub into a rock crevasse as it swims past. Lady Eva clings to his arm scared.
"Oh my dragons!" she says "Micheal...save me~" she kisses him and he quickly backs away.
"What the...not now! Wait no not ever!" he says to her before looking at the radar and his blood goes cold "It's moving too fast for the radar to track....Shit shit shit!" he presses the button of the communication device "Everyone! Get back to the ship or find somewhere to hide where it can't get at you! Just stay safe and be careful!" he shouts.
Nate and the kids swim, dodging the giant shark. Nate sees for a split second a small entrance, barely big enough for them but he sees Mathew sliding into it. The small vision ends. Nate doesn't know if he can trust his visions anymore but for all their sakes, he had to. "Mathew!" he shouts as Mathew was in front of them "Find a small entrance and go inside! Everyone follows him..."
"Find one!" Mathew shouts diving and they all follow, just in time to avoid the giant shark's attempt to eat them.
"Seriously what is that thing!?" Amanda shouts.
"Focus on getting to that entrance then we can focus on what to do next!" Nate shouts back as he sees Mathew make it to the entrance and slide inside. Amanda makes it next, then Scarlet. Nate makes it and stops to look back at Ken.
"Just go!" Ken shouts at him and Nate does. A few seconds later, Ken rockets inside before the whole small cavern shakes as the giant shark slams into the rock outside. "See...I had a higher chance of making it than a peasant like you" he says panting a bit.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
"What is that!?" Amanda asks again.
"I-It was the creature we saw that other time...but we could actually see it..." Scarlet says shakingly.
"A giant shark...giant shark..." Nate muses before remembering some piece of information about a giant shark. "It's a megalodon..."
"What's a megalodon?" Mathew asks while Ken looks terrified.
"It's a legendary shark that has never been actually discovered, just the bones so it's supposed to be extinct. The biggest shark to ever exist at around 60 to 70 feet long and weighs about 50 to 70 tons. Their teeth are seven inches long" Ken explains "If this realm has so much space...it makes sense that a Megalodon would be able to survive here...but it means we're all in danger!"
Amanda tries to communicate with Micheal or Lady Eva but nothing "The communication system is down or something is blocking it off!" They all look at each other worriedly.
"T-Theirs a tunnel over there..." Scarlet points toward the only tunnel that they hope doesn't lead out to the megalodon waiting.
"It's our only chance..." Nate whispers and they swim through it.
Meanwhile on the sub, Micheal is trying to contact them but getting radio silence basically. He can tell that they are alive thanks to Amanda's live stream. He's never been more glad for that girls streaming before now since the video feed from the sub has also been cut off. He can't move the sub due to the Megalodon being outside and he's unsure what to do.
Lady Eva, however, is not worried about it and is instead trying to get him to relax by spending time with her. "Come on Micheal, this is a good chance for us to get to know each other better~"
"What!?" he asks shocked looking at her "What do you mean?"
She pins him to the console which scares him as she whispers "You deserve a real woman~" she kisses him and there's nothing he can do. His mind races with thoughts of Molly.
Meanwhile watching this is Molly and Crisp's family. Molly's anger is so strong it's visible and they all eye her a bit concerned, not scared just concerned about what she'll do.
"That disgusting little..." she growls, her body shaking as she tries to control her anger. It's at this point that they see Micheal shove Lady Eva off of him, pushing her hard enough that she hits the floor.
"Enough! I don't like you...you're a...nice lady but you're not my type..." he looks out toward the water and then grabs his phone and shuts off the sub so it can't be moved before he dashes into his room, locking the door behind him.
Molly smiles at Micheal's obvious loyalty to her.
Redacted speaks casually "You do realize you two aren't dating yet right?"
Molly blushes "I-I know that! He just doesn't know that he already belongs to me yet" she looks away from them.
Redacted hearing this he laughs before he takes Alaric to bed. He leaves and texts his father to see how he is but leaves the apartment headed towards the wanders building. Once in his office, he sits in his chair and also makes himself a drink.
He doesn't like being there when Molly is there. He's only there for his little sibling but when Alaric is asleep, Redacted sleeps at his cafe or office.
Micheal posts a comment on Amanda's stream "I'll be watching from the stream...whatever happens be safe and as soon as it's safe for us, I'll get to you guys so stay together and be safe" he then sighs and leans against the door.
