Unsurprisingly unscathed, my sight, hearing and touch slowly come back (automatic sensory deprivation to protect senses against overwhelming stimuli, in this case, respectively, the flash, sound and shockwave and heat of the explosion). I look around, searching for everyone only to see water to the north, water to the east, water to the south and water to the west, all the way to the horizon.

Me: "Where am I?"

N.I.G.E.L.: "I calculated an altitude loss of 1952m. Current altitude: 0m."

Beside me, Matt surfaces in his General of the Sea form, carrying an unconscious Gwen on his shell.

Me: "What happened?"

Matt: "She did survive that fall, but she hit her head on that submarine."

Me: "What? A submarine?" I dive underwater to scan the subaquatic craft.

N.I.E.G.L.: "I detected the presence of a non-hostile A.I. inside the object."

Me: "Isn't that ICARUS? Wait. If that's the case, then that means..." I rise my head and see a massive rock above me. "IT BLEW US OFF THE ISLAND?!?!"

Matt: "Well it's true that we were the closest ones."

Me: "Talking about being the closest, have you seen Tienna?"

"AAARGH, even more water!" Tienna emerges to my left, back to her normal size. "And since when do you care about me?"

"*clears throat* I don't more than usual. I'm just used to have you around." I realize my misspeak. {Shit! I made it worse!}

Tienna: ""Used to have me around" you say?"

Me: "Well, um... {Quick! Gotta change subject.} Nice job against that monster, by the way."

Tienna: "And now I get praise? I must really be getting to you."

{Alpha: "Matt, help me!}

Matt: "Hey, you're back to your normal self? Where's the rest of you?"

Me: {Thanks, Matt!}

Tienna: "What do you mean by "normal self"? If you meant my size, most of the nanites got destroyed by the explosion and the remaining ones got lost in the water."

Matt: "No, I really meant "self". You were kinda crazy back then."

Tienna: "Who are you calling crazy!?"

Matt: "I'm not saying you are crazy, I'm saying you were crazy."

Tienna: "If unreciprocated love is what you call crazy, then yes, I'm am crazy."
