A few days later...
Ulrich, Mira, Robert, Cole, Risa, and Yukiko are currently having lunch together.
Cole: "So uh... it's just us for Rank 4?"
Risa: "Sadly, yes. Everyone else had plans are we're lucky I'm here. Mom needed one of us to run errands with her and William gladly bit the bullet."
Yukiko: "I-I heard Anthony and Roy got grounded as well."
Ulrich: "And thus we've been hit with our greatest challenge yet."
Robert: "And it won't have a pretty ending."
The three ID Glove users head inside.
Mira: "This won't end well."
The others insert their ID Cards.
A short while later...
Everyone is currently surfing towards the Theta server, home of Rank 4.
Ulrich: "S-So wh-what does Theta look like?"
Robert: "Watch!"
Their boards are tipping forward.
Mira: "Wait, underwater?!"
They slip under the ocean's surface, but they're still breathing.
Ulrich: "How and why?!"
Cole: "Walker thought an underwater server would be cool."
Mira: "And make half of us panic?!"
Yukiko: "I didn't."
They're able to see an underwater city just ahead.
Risa: "Come on. We're almost there."
The second they arrive, they hop off their boards.
Mira: "So where's our daily dose of torture?"
Cole: "Just follow me."
They head into town.
Ulrich: "This is going to end up killing me, isn't it?"
Yukiko: "Doubt it! You two are crazy well at adapting!"
Mira and Ulrich awkwardly stare at each other.
Ulrich/ Mira: "If you say so."
They press onward.
A good while later...
The group is currently traversing through a complex of brightly colored coral reefs in search of Rank 4.
Cole: "Come out, come out wherever you are!"
Risa: "That won't get the boss to come to us."
Cole: "I can at least try. Better than nothing."
Mira puts on her monocle.
Mira: "But we can't be too far from the arena."
The path ahead grows wider and wider.
Risa: "Easily. If this doesn't scream of a boss fight, I don't know what does."
They move past several coral branches to find themselves in front of a large tower in the middle of a clearing.
Robert: "Bingo!"
They rush up to the tower to hear the cries of a large bird atop the tower.
Ulrich: "So it's up there?"
Yukiko: "Y-Yep!"
They head inside.
Mira: "Well, I hope you guys can keep up."
