"This means that whatever grabbed me is still down there." you say, not exactly overjoyed to go back in the water.
"You act like you've never killed a creature with tentacles before." Marrow tells you.
"I have. The problem is, everytime I get one, I get that much closer to losing a piece of my ass!" you tell Marrow, holding your fingers an inch apart.
"Look, if it will make you feel better, I have a L.I.G.H.T.(Lightning Increased Great Hyper Type) Bomb."
says Marrow, taking the small cylindrical device out of his gear bag.
"Ooo baby." you tell him, sarcastically rolling your eyes. "You're getting me excited."
"Well keep on your space shorts, baby, here it goes!" He turns the little metal dial on the bottom of the bomb to get the lightning going, then throws it into the water. The brown, murky water pulses with the bomb's current, then stills. Suddenly, four tentacles break through the water's surface, tremble with the electricity flowing through them, then collapse, sinking past the water.
"Marrow? Have you been holding out on us?" Typhoon asks.
"With all the fatalities from the water planets, the big guys at CRUST decided to help us out." Marrow throws a tiny dime-sized rock into the water hole. "They included these little babies called 'floaters'. Each one can draw in the electricity of five bombs, if neccesary. This way we won't get zapped." All the electricity is being absorbed into the rock like it's some kind of minature black hole.
The three of you put on your water gear, adjust your weapons, and dive in. The rest of your team is staying on the surface to look for other signs of life.
