Just to warn people with Claustrophobia ( just mentioned it in one word but still to be careful) and Thalassophobia ( idk if this would scare anyone I just have to defend my self just in case).🫶

I have been under water for at least one minute now. I hope I get out soon. I hate sea water, I always have. It's just full of salt and ugh...

I got out in some sort of a cave. I needed a few seconds to get my breath back. It smelled like fish and the air was stale. I looked around to find the exit from this cave. On the other side of the cave was some kind of tunnel. I passed through it. It was so small that I had to be bent over the whole time. While I was going deeper in, I went through some rooms that had drawings and writing on the walls. They look like some kind of puzzle. Ninjas really have out done themselves.

The last room was made like a maze with some, I would say, crystals instead of walls. I saw my reflection in one of them, but I didn't look like I do now. My hair was shorter and I was older. I had old age wrinkles and grey hair. These crystals were probably showing their future self. I took a good look at my older self. I smiled, so I will still look good when I'm older. I saw someone else in reflection besides the future me, but I couldn't recognize them because they were blurred. I quickly turned around to see who was standing besides me, but no one was there. The only thing that I could recognise was that they had black hair. With time, reflection was getting clearer. I was so interested to find out who they are.

"AH!" Someone screamed and I ran towards the noise. I made a few turns and bumped into Cole. He was on the ground leaning on the wall and was, for sure, beaten up. I got on my knees besides him. He was in shock, but I could see on his face that he was glad to see me.
"YN what are you doing here?"
"It was taking you a long time to get out, so I went in to see what was going on, only to find one of you lying on the ground injured. I can't even think what's with the rest of the team."
"You shouldn't have.." I stopped him half through his sentence.
"Oh please shut up. I was on every mission with you guys and all of a sudden I can't handle it. What happened?"
"Morro was following us through all the rooms so he didn't have to do puzzles. When we walked him right through everything, he attacked us."
"Great." I said sarcastically, "can you be alone so I could go and find the rest of them?" He nodded. I got up.
"I'll be back!" I said and ran further.

Zane and Jay were on the floor too, but they were really close to each other, which made this much easier for me.
"Yn?!" Jay said he was in shock, but unlike Cole he wasn't happy to see me.
"Yeah, yeah, I already got a lecture from your boyfriend. I don't need another one, thank you." I lied, but he bought it and just closed his mouth.

I crouched down next to Zane. He was lying on the ground on his stomach and his face was buried in the floor. He wasn't moving. I looked at Jay.
"What's with Zane?"
"I don't really know what happened, but somehow he turned off. I would have turned him on myself, but my leg is broken. I can't get to him." I looked at him in shock. I got even angrier that he was so calm about it.

"Your leg is broken?!"
"Yeah, but it's not a big deal." I turned around,
"Oh yeah you're right", I swung my arm, "my bruise is so much worse, sorry." I didn't see him but I was so sure he rolled his eyes. I turned Zane on. He got up and was directly looking at me. He didn't say a word.

"Zane? Zane?"He probably has some damage. He'll fix it when he gets to the bounty. "I don't know if you can hear me, but I know Pixal can. Listen, you two get Jay and Cole and go out to the bounty. I'll repeat, go to the bounty." I stood up.
"No Yn, we're not leaving you." I was so annoyed by him right now.
"Yeah, because you and your broken leg could help me," he silently agreed.
"Where's Kai?"
"Somewhere further. We got separated."
"Okay..." I looked towards the next turning
"I'll get Kai and get out." I turned to Zane again. "Pixal I trust you, please get them out." Zane then walked over and put Jay on his shoulder.
"Be careful please." He really looked sad and scared.
"Don't worry. You wont get rid of me that easily." I continued my path.

After a lot of wrong turns and dead ends, I finally found Kai. He is the only one that was still standing. I guess he somehow escaped him.
"Kai!" He wasn't facing me so he turned around when he heard my voice.

"Yn im so glad you're here," at least someone is. He came to me and hugged me. That's new, "he got to all of us. I am the only one who got away." He looked sad because of it.
"Don't worry, I found them and they're going out of here. And that's what we should be doing." I grabbed his hand and started walking towards the exit.

He wrenched his hand from my grasp. Not again Kai. Why do you have to make everything harder for me? I looked at him disappointed.
"No! I'm not going without Lloyd and we still have a chance of getting the realm crystal." Oh that's what they were looking for...
"It doesn't matter. We can't win this battle, we need to go. We'll steal it from him. Don't worry." I started walking away.
"No," so close ," Lloyd is there too", does he think I don't know that I f-ing kissed him because of Lloyd. I turned around,
"And what do you plan to do? Huh? To somehow get close to Morro and tear Lloyd out of him?!" I was moving my hands so much so he would know how pissed off I was.

His eyes started tearing. Great, now I'm the anti-hero.
"YN you see, I cant leave Lloyd again, I promised him when he lost his father, and and I kind of..." I put my hands over my face.
"Are you really telling me about your feelings towards him now ?!" Kai was in shock.
"How did you.."
"Kai, honey", I put my hand on his shoulder. "For me, it was obvious, but all of you guys are blind, so don't worry, no one else knows. Especially Lloyd." He was relieved when I said that.
"So you understand why I have to at least try and help him..." Yes, yes I understand. I sighed. I didn't say anything, but he knew I'd do it.

"Okay... I have an idea. He didn't see me with the rest of you, plus I wasn't with you last time you faced him, so he's probably not prepared to fight an elemental master. And, I'm guessing that he's not at his maximum with powers because of Lloyd, who's fighting for control and energy powers not really listening to him, and because of that he'll be vulnerable. I'll go to him and fight him and try to get him as tired as possible. In the meantime, you're hiding and waiting for my signal to come in and finish him. Sounds okay?" He was nodding. I don't think he was too happy about this plan, but I'm sure he doesn't want to fight him without powers either while he's at his maximum.

"So where is he?" Kai walked me towards the entrance of another room. Does this shitty cave have an end?
"Okay. So you stay here, and try not be visible to him." I was standing in front of the entrance and was looking at the distance. Can I really do this?
"Are you sure you can do this alone?" Yes, I can. I looked at him.
"Yes, you just wait for my signal." He smiled at me.

I walked in...
