After the fight with Blood Ninja, everything seemed to settle down, which personally I was extremely thankful for, after all I didn't need any more nut cases running around trying to take pot shots at people, other than the gangs that had been around the county, but seemed to realize that this was an area that they couldn't touch with me around. Believe me when they had tried taking me on personally, they wasted a lot of ammo, but nothing ever came of their shooting me, except for those that got away after the police had shown up, the vast majority of them ended up getting locked away on gang related charges.
However that had been back before Blood Ninja had tried anything, and after the entire fight with Blood Ninja had made the news, not even petty thieves wanted anything to do with this county any more, and what I was surprised about was that people were actually coming outside in some places and enjoying the sunny days that were coming around. Even on the rainy days, they were coming out then too.
But the one thing that I knew was that eventually something had to break and I knew that it would soon too. The only question I had was when it would, and in what form would it take, after all on this world, that was something that even I didn't know about.
Personally I was going back and forth in the lab between this world and the second world through the connection point that I had set up in the first place. I was busy working on different things that I knew would help out my world that I lived in without problems.
That problem that I mentioned, it actually came in a form that I seriously hadn't been expecting at all. It turns out that an underwater research center had been created right out in the bay and they were experiencing problems that they were needing help with, and mind you these problems weren't technical, since I couldn't handle that any way, no it turned out that there was someone down there doing major damage to the place, so they got in touch with people to get in touch with me.
I got the call about two weeks after everything with Blood Ninja calmed down, and I was told that there was an entire under water city in the middle of the bay just north of Martinez, the only reason why it was there, was because of the research that they needed to get done, and it had been there for the past couple of years. That was why I didn't know about it, because the place had been put there while I had been off jumping different dimensions, and it had even been on the news so everyone but me. I went through all of the news files that I could find on the place, even having both Alexis and Amy helping me out on this considering that they would going as well. I knew that Amy already knew about the place, but Alexis and I had been off world at the time when this had been placed into the bay.
After going down to the lab, all three of us went over to a lift at the side of the lab, located at the southern end of the lab, after we stepped inside (and since we were all suited up too) I thumbed a trigger on my belt that sent us heading down to a much lower level. When we arrived, we stepped out to a slightly smaller bay than the lab up above, and this one had a specially designed sub parked inside. The sub looked like a sting ray, with an overhead hatch access to the ship.
Alexis and Amy both looked around the place and couldn't believe what they were seeing, of course that was only because they had both never been down here before. "When in the world did you have this made, or has it always been here but we just never came down here?" Amy asked.
I smiled. "It would be the second one. There are sections of this base that you both have never entered into at all, however at the moment you're not going to be able to get access to them because right now the lift can only operate through the remote that I have right now on my belt." I told them pointing at the little unit on my belt. I walked over to a control board next to where the ship was docked and started entering in pre-launch information to the panel and getting the ship ready.
I noticed that both Amy and Alexis were continuing to look around the ship and the hanger that it was located in. Once I was finished, I jumped onto the wing and climbed up to the hatch on the top of the ship and entered the lock code to open the ship up. "You two might want to finish up what you're doing and eventually get up here. I've got the computer system running through the pre-flight right now, and considering that I've actually never taken this ship out here on this world, there are things that might be a little bit different that the world that it came from in the first place."
Amy turned to look at me. "And just what world did this ship come from in the first place?" She asked me.
"Believe, me this ship came from a war torn world, and to be honest, it was blown out of the water on the second world on the east coast. I brought it over here before bringing it over to this world. However I never really noticed if there were any differences between the two worlds here." I told them.
Alexis's head jumped up on hearing that. "Wait a minute, you never bothered to check at all, so you have going to fly us out into unknown waters here?" She asked.
At that moment I popped the hatch open, looked up at her, and nodded my head. "Yup, essentially." I stated as I dropped down into the ship and headed over to the main control board located to the left center of the main bridge area. Actually it was the only deck on the ship considering how small the whole ship was. Yes there were other stations and sections, but they were located all right there in the main section of the ship.
As I heard the ship's engine coming to life, I heard feet hitting the deck in back as both Alexis and Amy come on board the ship and I could tell even though I couldn't hear them, that they were looking over everything in the ship. I knew that with this new area that they were studying everything and putting everything to memory, and I knew that they wanted to know this ship just as well if not better than I did. However there was only one person that I would ever know of that would ever be able to know the ship and everything far better than I ever had or will. Once the two of them sat down where they figured they would, I started the ship and sank it down into the water and set us off towards the underwater city.
We cleared the tunnel bay and went right out into the bay and the only thing that I noticed from the ladies was the pressure difference after we left the tunnel. "Sorry about that, still haven't figured out how to get the pressure difference down and equalized out."
The city came into view a few minutes later and the sub dock was located towards the top of the place, however I noticed that there was another location for the ship to actually go into for the top hatch to actually come out into open air. The comm link between the ship and the city was by radio text message only, which actually surprised considering that the ships tech was from another world, and I actually didn't think that anything beyond the radio communication would actually be available here. I was told to dock at the spot that I had seen for the ship in the first place. Settling down the ship, I entered into the tunnel that was there for the ship, and I noticed that there was a water sealed hatch right there for the tunnel which meant that there was a very short tunnel right there.
After we entered and lifted the ship up, I noticed in the rear camera the hatch close, but the water level never dropped. Once the top part cleared the surface of the water, Alexis, Amy, and I climbed out of the ship and noticed that there were people standing there before us.
