Ty was quick to get her rebreather in her mouth, watching with wide eyes as the water came crashing into the room sending Ty into a rough spin by the force of it. She threw her arms out to steady herself and grabbed to the first thing her hands touched, which just happened to be Ferinus's arm. After the water quit moving as quickly Ty opened her eyes and looked at the two men, not panicking, but not happy either. The young sith breathed evenly and looked to her partners
I had just dried off... Well.. What now?

**Ferinus faced the rush of the water head-on as it smashed into him, sending him flying backward. He felt Ty latch onto his arm. Instinctively, he wrapped his other arm around her and kept her in front of him as the water threw him into the wall by the door, pain sending shockwaves through his back.
When he blinked his eyes open and his vision cleared.....well, as clear as it could be underwater....he released Ty and nodded to her and to Phantom.**<<Well, I do recall promising neither of you a safe journey, only that the reward would be worth it.....in theory. At least we're all still breathing.>>**Ferinus swished his head through the water, staring at the door.**<<All we would need to do, theoretically, is blow through this door. The chambers within have to be large enough for more air and another failsafe will probably activate another flood door before the entire place floods. We just have to get through it.>>**Ferinus ran his hand across the door's surface.**<<Your explosive did some damage, Phantom, but it looks like it's still up for now. Got anything else?>>**Then they all would heard the large roar again. Ferinus froze and looked over his shoulder, a few small bubbles floating up from his rebreather.****So that was the source o the roar, a Colo Claw Fish....and it was heading straight for them.**<<Quickly, Phantom. Preferably quickly.>>

*An audible groan rose from Phantom shaking the water around the and he was about to retort when everything shook
Turning he saw the beast and his eyes narrowed and turned back to his brother and the door*
<<I really hate you>>
*Reaching in his cloak he took a few charges and set them along the 4 corners of the door and then had a handful of items. Placing them on the door in an x connecting the charges and as they touched the surface they burrowed in which fastened them to the door and blinked red
Stepping back he held his hands out and the small discs turned and filaments shot from each one connecting them all and plasma rippled along their line and the plasma began to cut into the door and the circular discs began to twist in and push in, the plasma x cutting into the door.
Phantom waited, waited and at the last moment and pressed the detonator and the charges went off sending a thundering boom past them all*

**Ferinus grabbed Ty and swam out of the way as Phantom worked his devices onto the door. Looking back, he arched an eyebrow and gave Phantom and coy look.**
<<Not bad. You've clearly been studying your explosives, brother. That should do quite nicely.>>
**And, in fact, it did. Phantom's devices ripped through the metal on the door. By the time the boom came the force turned much of the door into shrapnel. Millions of bubbles shot everywhere all around them with large pieces of it floating uselessly away.
Ferinus and the others would be able to see another hallway past the door,,,,strangely in touched by the water all around them.
That door had been protecting another particle shield.
Ferinus was about to head for it when he turned.
The head of the Colo Claw Fish stuck itself into their tiny slot of a room, giant jaws and teeth snapping at them. It writhed its massive body and shook everything the three were standing in.
Ferinus shot out both of his hands, aiming the Force in a condensed strike directly down the beasts's throat. The gigantic fish roared again, splitting their ears with its noise. It lunged again and Ferinus shot out his hands, forcing the beast back again with the Force.
He was trying to hold it at bay, but with its incredible size, it was still coming toward them, pushing against Ferinus' power. The Sith Lord grunted, bubbles shooting from his rebreather.**
<<Phantom....get Ty and run through the shield. I'll hold it off and be right behind you!>>

*A smirk on his face as he watched the explosion, the pieces floating past him and saw another particle shield. This place was interesting and he could not wait to hook into the servers.
Seeing the massive fish swim to them he backed up and saw his brother raise his arms.The fish halted and gripped by the force and Phantom turned hearing his brother and nodded.
He reached in his cloak and took out a handful of the small button explosives and let them float to his brother*
<<Shove these in its mouth and activate the detonators with the force, it should paint the water nicely>>
*using the force he propelled himself like a dart through the water and grabbed Ty and rolled through the particle shield, he rolling on his back taking the impact and got up shrugging his cloak off and raised his own hands in case his brother needed assistance*

Before Ty knew what was happening, she was being grabbed, there was a giant fish trying to eat them, Phantom was getting happy with explosives and Ferinus was holding the fish back as best he could. She turned in the water to help Ferinus, but was grabbed and yanked through the doorway. Although Phantom took the brunt of the jarring of landing on solid ground, she landed on, and then toppled over him, settling finally on her back. She growled and stood up beside him, spitting out her rebreather and brushing her hair from her eyes and looking back at the shield, watching Phantom ready himself to help Ferinus, who she couldn't see from behind Phantom.
I think dry land will be my haven from now on, Big Brother.

**Ferinus felt the raw power of the undersea beast crashing against his will. He was beginning to realize just how rusty he was, having not been in the field in years. If he didn't do something, the giant fish would be on him and his journey would end here....in a hole at the bottom of an ocean.
Hardly fitting.
When Ferinus saw the explosives float to his left and heard his brother's words, he nodded resolutely.**
<<Much.....obliged.>>
**Ferinus knew he would have only one shot at this and everything had to be timed just right. He held the beast back for one moment longer, then sprang into action, spinning in the water. In the span of one moment, he gripped the explosives with the Force and flung them into the fish's mouth, used his other hand to grip their supply crate and then shot a Force Push behind him, propelling him and the crate through the shield.
He felt a searing pain rip at his leg before he tumbled through the shield, landing on his face and whipping his neck back.
Phantom and Ty would see the fish's head explode into a mass of red water as it reared against the side of the chamber in front of them and then slid back into the endless depths.
Ferinus lied facedown on the floor beside his companions, at the moment motionless with a deep gash at the bottom of his left calf bleeding profusely.**

*He watched his brother manipulate the explosives and with a thunderous boom the water which was blue had turned a deep red and before he knew it Ferinus was thrown through the shield and on the floor with blood pooling from what seemed to be a leg.
Walking to his brother he took deep breaths and tore the leg off the pant where the blood was coming from. Assessing the cut, his eye scanned it, quickly x-raying it and looking it over checking for breaks or hairline fractures.
Seeing nothing like that he smiled and looked at his brother*
"I can't promise it won't hurt, but if it didn't then I'd be doing it wrong"
*With that his right hand squeezed tight on the gash pushing the skin, tissue and muscle together and with the force bound the skin, there was going to be time in a tank or on a table but this was not the time or place. Taking the torn material from the pants he wrapped it around and tied a tight knot and then called his sabercane over and stood up*
"Take my hand and get your old ass up, we need to get a move on"
*He held the cane out for his brother to use*

Ty watched Phantom heal Ferinus and tilted her head, before glancing back through the door at the red water that was slowly dissipating back to darkness. While Phantom tended to his Brother, Ty looked down at her belt, inspecting her weapons and making sure they were all in working order, hoping the salty water hadn't done any damage to her babies. With exaggerated slowness, she brushed her hand through her hair as she looked at her poor lightwhip, seeing that the focusing crystal was slightly cracked. Probably from her little tumble over her Big Brother just a few moments ago when she landed not so gracefully on top of it.
So... that was a big fish... Big Brother I'll need to make repairs to my whip when we make it back up top

"I am sure there are crystals here that we can use and if anything with Ferinus's alchemy and my cybernetics we can have the whip up and going in no time"
*He raised an eyebrow at her armament and the whip itself*
"Have you been training with it little one?"
*Peering at the sabers, the whip, the designs to see if she still had what he had given her, a pair of blades and of course the whip. All tailored to fit her body style and then fighting style. People always thought that the more impressive the blade or weapon, the better it would kill and yet that could not be further from the truth.
A weapon was molded to the body so it felt natural, almost as though it was meant to do exactly as it should without thought. Seeing the weaponry he would need to modify some, she had changed in her shape and grown up a little in comparison to him*

**Ferinus picked his head up and growled as Phantom pushed the wound together.**"Pain is the best teacher in the world. I welcome its hard lessons." **He growled once more as Phantom tied it off and offered his cane. Ferinus declined and instead sent out another Force Push, getting back up to a standing position.**"No need, Phantom. I shall merely walk it off." **The pain was burning, searing. Ferinus grinned, letting its white-hot flashing spread up his leg and into his chest, into his core. He embraced its pain. He was eager to use it. His black robes were sopping wet and slightly bloodied. He ripped it off of his body and threw it aside, content to work in his black undershirt and slacks. He made sure his twin lightsabers were tightly clipped to his belt.
He looked to Phantom.**"At least we're inside now. Theoretically, we should be alright." **He looked to Ty.**"I trust you made it through unscathed?" **The Sith Lord levitated the supply crate and bent a lightstick to life, holding it aloft above them, it's sickly yellow light casting in all directions.**
**As it turned out, the area immediately past that shield was a little less.....modern.**"Well.....I'll be kriffed."

Ty growled up at Phantom, her eyes flashing, and she clipped her whip back to her belt, before turning her glare back to him
Who're you calling "little one"?! I've more than proved to you I am by no means a "little one". I mean after all... you are my little Phantasm.
Her smile was most cruel as he had sworn her never to use that word in a public place, or near any other living thing with intelligence that would be able to let on to other people knowing that she had once called him that. With a dramatic flourish of her hands, she turned on Ferinus, who was now standing and addressing her about making it into where they were without being hurt and she grinned mischievously and bent her knee forward so he could see her thigh and the rip in her long black pants that exposed her calf. Her voice dripped with sarcasm as she spoke low towards him, her eyes glittering with playfulness.
I scraped my poor knee, you want to kiss it and make it better?
Ty gave a giggle before cracking her neck and stretching her hands over her head to get a kink out of her back before looking around in the yellow light at the cave. Well, she thought, at least it's not the sub

**Ferinus was leading the pack of the three of them through the shimmering stone cave walls, holding up his glowstick closer to the walls, trying to sense a pattern in their texture. These walls seemed familiar.....albeit out of place. Then again, it had been years since he set foot in this old academy. Metal walls could have given way to the slow spread of rock and water. Those elements would always win in the end.
Ferinus was about to make a comment to the group when he heard Ty growl up at Phantom. He stopped dead in his tracks upon hearing the word "Phantasm."
Before he could stop himself he was supporting himself with one hand pressed to the wall, laughing.**
"Hahahahaha.....ph....Phantasm?!"
**Ferinus chortled louder. He didn't know if it was from the thin air or the bloodloss, but he could not keep himself from snickering.**
"Wha....what did you do to earn that nickname, Phantom?!"
**He laughed more, his body shaking as he leaned on the cave wall for support.
When Ty gave him that playful smile, he gave her leg the approving look she was no doubt looking for and a wry smile.**
"That won't be necessary. It seems you're quite fine."
**Ferinus sniffed, recovering from his bout of laughter.**

*HE stopped dead in his tracks at the name and turned, his eyes almost blazing and sighed, he supposed he did deserve it for calling her little though it was their pet names for each other as they grew up and it felt good to have people about that he considered family. Not that he would admit such things.
Turning his head to his brother he cocked an eyebrow and watched him laugh, his mouth a thin line*
"You do realize that you lost to her drinking correct...I would not push her because I am very sure she has a litany of names for you"
*A thin smirk curled on his lip and he cracked a few light sticks and levitated them with the force giving them light in front in a distance, on their sides and behind them, the many colors bending at the curves in the wall casting different reflections as he fell into step*

Mister Phantastic is correct
Her words were short and curt as she huffed and made a point of crossing her arms and glaring playfully at the two men, and then glancing around their surroundings
Phanties needs to learn when to be nice though, isn't that right Feri?
Ty could have gone into creative mode to bring a real tinge to the Dark Lords cheeks so to speak, but at the moment she was just wanting to get going, the pressure change had had an affect on her and she was feeling it. But she would rather have a bout of sickness to pressure than get back in that Bane-forsaken cork that they called a submarine. That and her writer is preparing for a long trip and has little energy to be extremely creative and antagonizing to her posting comrades

**Ferinus chuckled, standing away from the cavern wall.**"Ty is not the leading authority on that night. I don't recall losing a damn thing!"**He laughed and nodded to the both of them. He appreciated the additional illumination his brother provided as they continued their sojourn deeper into the depths of the abandoned academy. Ferinus had to confess to himself that he wasn't entirely certain how events would progress from here. It had been more than a decade since he had set foot inside these walls and time and water would always win in the end.Eventually, the hard rock began to slope away, giving into smoother stone under their boots as they walked. Soon, the three of them came into another hall of the abandoned academy.
It looked to be some sort of ornate entrance hall. Dragon figurines lined both walls as the hall stretched on. The stone all around them was pale, murky and giving way to various fungi, but its integrity was still firm for now.Suddenly, Ferinus' head exploded in a flash of memories. He doubled over, dropping his lightstick and grunting loudly.As he looked up, murky, ghostly figures materialized before his vision. The world had gone blurry all except for the figures. Ferinus wondered if he was the only one seeing them. Were they Force ghosts? They couldn't be. He was still alive....and one of those visions was a younger version of himself.He saw the ghost of Ver'metus stepping around with himself and Malofus. The Anzat looked around around him.**Ver'metusHow can such a place even exist? How are we even breathing right now? **A much stockier Sith held up the middle of the group of three. Ferinus couldn't even remember the last time he saw Malofus' face, but there it was.**MalofusFeral sent me here years ago, before either of you had come to the academy, before Phantom, even. Feral wanted me to research the cloning facilities. I believe he was beginning to fear for his own mortality and wanted a fallback option. In my travels, I discovered this place with just enough of an air pocket for us to be here. **The younger Ferinus walked up behind them.**FerinusThis place should do well. They will never find us down here. It needs some work, though. **Malofus looked back and grinned.**MalofusTrust me, my former Kissai, we're very safe down here. Feral has his own mess to deal with back at the academy. As far as the others go.....well.....they'll have to find their own path. Here, we can start a new beginning. Here, we can live our own lives as free Sith. **A trail of blood was dripping from the younger Ferinus' back. Ferinus recognized those as the wounds he was still suffering back them, courtesy of the Lords of the Void.**FerinusStill.....we should set up some....precautions....just in case. **That made Ferinus snap back to reality.
Traps.
There were traps in this hall.
Before he could tell the others, he felt his boot sink down into a panel on the floor.**
"Kriff!!" **Small metal darts shot out of the mouths of the dragons in all directions, straight for them.**

*He kept walking along, the chiding and all was all in good nature anyway. They entered a massive room and it was very well built and he raised an eyebrow. All of this, this is where they all went and where he would have been sent to kill them.
Seeing his brother suddenly hunch over he turned, head snapping to him wondering what was going on with him. The three of them not moving and in the center of a beautiful room and he looked at the leg,. It seemed to be fine so why he was hunched over was beyond him.
Turning to walk forward he herd his brother curse and things seemed to hit the fan.
Darts seemed to fly at them all from nowhere and being as big as he was, this was a disadvantage. He pushed his cloak out, the thick material billowing as he spun around and crouched to the floor, the cloak would take many of the darts though some caught in his arms and legs. He hit the floor and waited for the whizzing of the darts to seize*

Ty had stepped forward towards Ferinus, a hand outstretched and hovering just above his shoulder, ready to assist when he cursed. Her whole body tensed as she heard whirring and went into a sort of acrobatics that sent Ty twirling and flipping through the air. She landed next to Phantom, in a crouched position, one hand down on the ground to steady herself, her eyes dead of emotion as she just looked through her bangs at the room, ready for anything else.
Well, what else can we expect, Ferinus?
Ty stood after the barrage had ended and put her hands on her hip in a most disapproving gesture and she cracked a grin.
All of this energy is wasted on mediocre things. Let's hurry along now before.........
A gripping pain that had started slow in her belly began to gnaw at her even more and she frowned, looking between the two men. Ty sighed and adjusted her cloak, before looking down and seeing one of the darts sticking out of her thigh, just under her saber.
Ah Kriffin' hell!!
The affect was instantaneous when she realized that she had been shot, Ty crumpled, unconscious, to the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut. Now Ty normally would have been able to dodge these little darts, quite like Phantom with a flourish of her cloak, but her writer's plane leaves in four hours and Ty needed a reason for her to be "incapacitated" for the next ten days so the other writers wouldn't be stuck in writing hell waiting for her return. The boys were now on their own to make it through the labyrinth of traps and obstacles, that is until Ty woke up, which she would probably do as unpredictably as she had when Phantom had drugged her on the way down. But deep in her subconscious as she lay there on the stone floor, a sarcastic voice was whispering in her mind how come it's always me to get drugged?

**Ferinus dropped to the ground, throwing his arms out at his sides, lying flat on the floor. He knew that as long as he could remain below the mouth level of the dragon statues, he could avoid the darts.
Fortunately, his quick reflexes had seen him safely through the volley of miniature spikes.
As the whooshing sounds of the darts finally subsided, the Sith Lord got to his feet and dusted himself off. At the sound of Ty's sudden curse, he turned and widened his eyes, seeing her crumple to the ground. He immediately dashed to her side and knelt. Spotting the dart in her thigh, he gingerly pulled it out and held it out in front of his onyx eyes, studying the minuscule secretion out of the dart.
Ferinus sighed and shook his head.**
"A highly concentrated dose of methyl parathion. It'll take the function right out of you.....but in Ty, it will only be temporary while it works through her system."
**Ferinus immediately slipped his arms under her and lifted her deftly over his shoulder, standing back up.**
"Phantom, I don't know how many more tiled ahead are rigged. It might be best if we just blast the statues apart so we can continue on."

*Hearing his sister fall he turned and shook his head, this place was well rigged that was for certain. Seeing her picked up easily he turned and looked at the ornate figures in the pillars while listening to his brother and smiles. Blowing things up and breaking things was something he liked to do and with a glint in his eye he reached in his cloak.
Taking out a handful of what looked like dead drop spikes he unscrewed the caps and began to fill them with a mixture of different chemicals, it was almost like a kid with toys with the fervor with which he worked.
After layering the things the way he needed he suspended them all in the air and then launched them all at the different pillars, the spike driving hard into the stone and once they were all in place he flicked the activators in place. The shaped charge exploded and blasted through the pillar in a clean manner and the slag would begin to superheat and begin to burn through the next foot or so of the pillar making sure they were all rendered useless.
Standing he turned to his brother who had Ty slung over his shoulder like a child and inclined his head*
Anything else that is going to jump out and kill us, prevent us, or all around be in the way that we can know in advance so that we are ready?
