Monday afternoon...
Ulrich, Mira, Caleb, Asaka, Anthony, Edo, Andrea, and Serena have met up outside the usual Login.
Edo: "So it's just us today?"
Serena: "Yeah, Zack and Cole caught a cold."
Andrea: "Not to mention the fact that everyone else has a busy schedule today."
Asaka: "No point in beating ourselves up over this."
Caleb: "Y-Yeah. Let's go."
The ID Glove users head inside while the ID Cards log in.
A little bit later...
Everyone has logged in and are currently heading for a shop at the edge of town.
Anthony: "Can't wait to see you two on a board."
Mira: "So we get to go server surfing today to get to Rank 2?"
Serena: "Yep. Rank 2 is hiding out in the Alpha server and you need to surf there."
They step inside the shop.
Andrea: "Grab some cheap boards and meet us at the edge of Alpha."
Ulrich: "Can do."
The others leave while the remaining two look around the cheap section of the store.
Mira: "I hope you don't get seasick."
They both grab their boards and dart outside.
Ulrich: "U-Uh I don't get seasick!"
Mira goes ahead while Ulrich shakes at the shore.
Ulrich: "I-I totally don't!"
Ulrich hops onto the board.
Ulrich: "(deep breath) I can do this."
Ulrich starts moving ahead nice and slow.
Ulrich: "I'm coming guys!"
Ulrich charges ahead at full force.
Meanwhile...
Mira joins up with the others at a desert beach at dusk.
Mira: "How're you guys doing?"
Mira hops off her board.
Edo: "Where's Ulrich?"
Mira: "He should be here any second-"
Ulrich arrives by crashing his face straight into the sand and his board flying so far away that it despawns.
Asaka: "Oh there he is."
Ulrich pulls his head out of the sand to awkwardly see everyone staring at him.
Ulrich: "Uh..."
Edo: "Let's uh... let's just go."
They awkwardly trek ahead, leaving Ulrich in the dust.
Ulrich: "W-Wait for me!"
Ulrich tries to catch up.
A short while later...
They're coming up to a canyon of black rocks.
Mira: "So Rank 2 is hiding around here?"
Serena: "If the map is to be believed."
Ulrich starts twirling his wrench in his hand.
Ulrich: "Then let's go ahead and show this boss who's boss!"
