Chapter 22: Coincidence
Kenny waves at Isaiah before talking to Kat.
"Princess, it is an honor to meet you again; thank you for your time today," Kenny said Boeing to Kat.
"Yea, no problem. How do you know Isaiah?" Kat asked.
"Oh, I brought him to the academy. Like most students, he didn't come through the teleport, so your mother had me pick him up. Kenny said smiling
"Aye Kenny wassup man still blue I see," Isaiah said
"Ayee Isaiah still bl- wait, can I say that," Kenny said, stopping mid-sentence.
"It's 2042, Kenny. It's ok to call black people black people." Isaiah laughed as they dabbed each other up. (Author's note: Google "dabbed me up" if you don't know the meaning.)
"How do guys know what handshake to do everything? Carly said, shaking her head.
"Anyways, let's get down to business; Kenny briefs us on the way to Wake city," Kat said as she started walking towards the sea.
"Yes, princess, I will lead the way," Kenny says, following Kat.
"Go ahead and activate the app right now. Also, it only allows you to breathe underwater. You'll have to figure out a way to keep up with us on your own. Carly said, walking into the water.
Carly turned around before she entirely submerged.
"Also, open your mind link app and add Kathryn and me. It works like Bluetooth."
"Ok then," Isaiah said, doing as he was told.
Isaiah jumped and flew up above the Island and started heading in the direction of Carly and Kat.
"Mic check 2,1,2," Isaiah said in the mind link.
"We can hear you loud and clear," Carly said from the link.
"It looks like we teleported on the right side of the Island. I didn't see anyone even though I'm pretty high in the sky right now ." Isaiah said in the link.
"We can pinpoint the exact location we want to go to. So if the skies are clear, you can head down here now." Kat said in the link.
Isaiah looked around before he began to descend to the sea. Then, before he touched the water, he lifted his hand and opened up a large hole within the water using his telekinesis.
He began to descend when he got about 10 meters down and closed the hole.
Isaiah began looking around at his surroundings and noticed all of the fish swimming away from him.
"We'll get at least on the surface. I didn't make much noise," Isaiah thought.
"We're to the right of you, come on," Carly said in the mind link.
Isaiah started swimming in their direction when he noticed that his clothes were wet. Also, she has been unintentionally holding his breath.
Isaiah stopped swimming and took in a deep breath.
"BET, so it does work. This is tight." Isaiah said, swimming towards Carly.
Isaiah immediately noticed that Carly had on water jets that looked like tiny fans on her legs.
"What are those?" Isaiah said points to Carly's
Cavs.
"Huh," Carly replied in the link.
"Please stop trying to talk underwater. This is one of the main reasons for the mind link," Carly said, making a face.
"Oh right, sorry, I was just looking at your little water jets," Isaiah replied in the link.
"They're made out of nanotech and mana spirits within my suit," Carly says in the link, swimming away at a fast speed.
"Swimming is just propelling yourself forward, and it's not like my powers don't work underwater. I bet it's the same thing as when I fly normally." Isaiah thought.
To Isaiah's surprise, it was exactly like how he flew with his telekinesis. But, in some ways, it was a lot easier. He felt like he could move a lot faster in the water than in the air.
"With my increase in Agility, I do feel like I'm a bit faster." Isaiah thought, smiling catching up to Carly and Kat
"I see you adjust to your environment quickly," Kat said in the link, turning around to look at Isaiah.
"I have a natural act for that," Isaiah said
[New passive ability unlocked: underwater breath]
"Huh?" Isaiah thought with a confusing look on his face.
"System, why did I just unlock this ability?"
[As the official protector of the planet appointed by Gaia. The host must be able to live in all environments the world has to stay effective.]
"That seems too convenient. Was I always meant to be the protector of the earth? This body temperature manipulation ability fits perfectly in line with what the system just said. And I discovered that ability on my own. "Isaiah thought.
"Ugh, this is becoming such a drag now I have to contemplate my entire existence? This is not the time to do so, especially on a mission. Let's hope I don't forget this little detail."
As they got deeper into the Ocean, it became a lot darker, and it was hard for Isaiah to see what was in front of him. So he swam close to Kat, who he just realized had a mermaid tail.
"So I'm guessing you can see in this sea of Darkness," Isaiah said to Kat.
"If I couldn't, I wouldn't be much of a Sea princess, now would I. But, since you lived among the normal humans for so long, you don't know that this darkness is to make it harder for them to find our underwater cities." Kat explained in the.
"They can make it down pretty far, but at some point, they'll get caught in a loop and continue to descend even though they're not. That's why some people think the Ocean is bottomless."
Isaiah was shocked at this information even though he lives in pretty much a fantasy novel now.
They continued to Swim in darkness till they stopped, and Kenny started to move his hands like he was making a portal in a Marvel movie.
"Alright, everyone through," Kenny said, smiling
"How come he didn't do this when we went to the academy," Isaiah asked Kat.
"Because there isn't a Veil code like the rest of the cities. The Mariana Trench is already a place that is deemed unreachable; only people who can tame blue whales can reach the place locally." Kat said in the mind link.
"Right," Isaiah said, pretending he understood everything.
After going through the Veil, Isaiah saw four massive bubble domes at the bottom of the Ocean. Overall the city was a small town, but it was modernized, so it looked a lot bigger.
Isaiah noticed a larger sea creator the size of a baby whale attacking one of the smaller domes.
"It looked like a Sea Komodo Dragon." Isaiah thought as he rushed into action
