Underwater Main Gate: Inferior Carbons

[AnT]

"Yeah, you better keep that mouth in check."

"T-minus three minutes and twenty-nine seconds till detonation."

The princess incarnate growled at annoyance of the alarm. This day was such a waste and hassle. Her ships was destroyed, she's been extremely annoyed by metal men, and now this day will end with her empty handed...

"Wait a..."

Magical dust orbited around as Zelda transformed back into Tetra. "I'll be right back!"

With a smirk, the dark-skinned girl ran out the room.

[Mage]

"Huh, where are you going?! This place it about to blow!"


Before they knew it however, the copter game with a soldier opening it up for the group. "Sir, we made it!"

"Your late, I thought I was guarantied a minute's ready!" The pilot bickered at the soldier, sure they had some time but it would have been more reassuring it Tetra hadn't run off. "We're still missing someone, we wait."

The soldier nodded. "Yes sir."

[Alien-Child]

"She better hurry up before this place blows sky-high!"

[AnT]

"T-minus two minutes and fifty-three seconds, counting, till detin-" The voice was cut off when the red lights vanished. They would hear the hums of the machines die down.

A giant crystal, large as a bus, 'hovered' inside the room. Young pirate captain, Tetra, was carrying the thing over her head, thanks to the Power Bracelets she stole from...erm, she 'borrowed' from Link.

"Hey, how you guys turned that stupid noise off?" she asked, oblivious to the fact the quantum refractor she's carrying was its power source.

[Native One]

"We didn't do anything." Link replied to Tetra. He looked at the giant crystal in her hands, "Maybe that crystal had something to do with it."

[Mage]

Eagle could only stare at the massive crystal in question. "What in the world..." Then he shook his head and went to the copter opening the side door. "No time to gawk at it, get in now!" He jumped in the copter quickly, and left it open for the others.

[Alien-Child]

"Now that's a big crystal!" Ayumi said getting in the copter.

[AnT]

"This thing is not gonna fit, but I'm not leaving it behind!" Tetra set the crystal down, frowning at Eagle. "Can that whirly-bird...thing carry this?"

[Native One]

Link entered the helicopter without saying a thing, though he did look amazed at the size and complexity (well, for him anyway) of the machine.

[Mage]

The pilot poked his head out and sighed. "It can, if you try. I guess without the self destruct command we have plenty of time." The copter opened up on the side, making a larger opening for Tetra.

[Alien-Child]

"Kay, put it in and let's blow this joint!" Ayumi shouted, and then stood there realizing what she just said, "I just made a bad pun, didn't I?"

[AnT]

"Yeah, you did." she muttered, entering inside while trying to carry the crystal over the group's heads and place her stash in the back of the copter. Sadly, the refractor took all the room in the back, reach past the group, so Tetra had to hold it up to it won't be on the gang. "Okay, now-"

Suddenly, the main room of the base was coated in red light again, and the alarms blazed.

"Backup generator activated. Self-destruct sequence returned to last saved time. T-minus 30 seconds."


She was REALLY hating this place; it was so persistent. "....and you totally JINXED US!!!!"

[Native One]

Link, who was in an awkward position from the giant size of the crystal, sweat-dropped, and said "S-Sorry... Anyway, we should leave now! Quickly!"

[Mage]

Despite the sudden loss of elbow space, Eagle pressed a button on the wall closing the doors. "It'll do, lets go!"


The copter had more then enough power to fly away from the base.

[Alien-Child]

"The explosion better be cool!" Ayumi said as she squeezed her face to the window.
