Azrail has found things at the bottom of the sea before -- he doesn't need oxygen as an angel. The only hard part is that it's more difficult to track objects he's never touched.

Diving into the water without so much as a mask or a suit, he makes his way closer to the bottom and touches the sand below the waves. Particles of sand drift up and dissipate soon after. It would be a lot harder to find the tool if it was covered in sand, so Azrail crouches down and begins crawling. In one paw is a large knapsack for any other items he might come across.

His paws sweep the area and send more sand up, causing his vision to blur. How am I supposed to do this, he thinks to himself and blinks rapidly. Deciding to just swim close to the bottom, Azrail keeps a close eye for any glints of metal.

It isn't looking good so far; the most metal he finds is an aluminum can and he stashes it in the sack. He sighs and bubbles escape his lips in the process. Azrail cocks an eyebrow as they disappear, and it's then that he sees something shinier. Hidden between some coral is the tool, and he kicks his feet so he can get closer.

Upon closer inspection, Azrail sees that it isn't that shiny and it's actually a little dingy. The angel couldn't even tell what is purpose was. I'm surprised this thing hasn't rusted, he thinks to himself.

Heading back up to the surface with the odd-looking tool, his head is the first thing that pops up before he swims to shore and stands up once his feet feel the sand. Azrail trudges over to Shark, dripping wet with soggy fur. He murmurs, "Here you go, Shark. It wasn't that hard to find."

Hibachi was nervous. Diving? Into open sea? She never thought of doing something so dangerous so soon. But it was for shark...and it was for the ship. Suddenly, a lightbulb lit up in her mind. Of course! If she helped Shark repair the ship, well she'd be a hero! And everyone knows heros are the most likely to get the girl! She shook Shark's hand with ferocity and smiled. " I'll do it!! Just tell me where it's at and ill give it a go!"

She soon wished she hadn't. She stood in the boat, looking over the edge. She was geared head to toe in scuba gear, her suit much too tight for comfort. Shark was in the boat driving seat , giving a thumbs up. Of course he dropped his tool here. In the ocean. Filled with sharks. She could see them swarming down below. Shark had said they were friendly, but Hibachi just felt like he meant they were too big to get inside the cage. But this time, there was no cage. Would they still be so friendly? With a big sigh and a not so friendly hand gesture, she jumped down into the water , feeling the cold water hit her. She was amazed how fast she got used to it. She swam down below and saw the beautiful tropical fish swim by. They almost seemed to guide her to the direction of the tool. It had a touch of seaweed looping around it. Oh yeah, and also like 20 sharks. Okay maybe not 20 but there seemed like alot. Hibachi froze for a moment until she realized somethinf important. No one simply became a hero, there must always be a challenge! Using her faux flippers, she torpedoed her way over. She grabbed hold of the tool and lifted it with some trouble. Luckily, most of the sharks had dispersed with her sudden movement. She got back up to the surface and gasped, still shaken. She saw the dark hand of Shark reach down to grab her. He asked her how it was. Hibachi could only grin and quickly grab his hand. It was cold.

How do they find it, and what's the experience like?

As expected, I would have to undergo another task everyday until this ship gets fixed. Shark insists that we still have to search for parts in the waters. Who knows if that one part is still even here?

I find myself at the lop sided shack where Aukai is giving out instructions and tossing around the diving gear. I begged Chara to come with me this time so she could distract Aukai from my little chicken self that was shaking. Of course, she was excited more than ever and was shaking eagerly, unlike me. My brain collects every piece of information I can from Aukai to make sure I don't mess anything up. I pull on all the equipment and find myself gagging at the amount of things I had to remember. I practically had to learn a new language with all the hand signals. I keep telling myself that everything will be fine, but I can't stop thinking about sharks and tying myself up in seaweed.

We're on the boat. Next thing I know we're plopped into the water. Aukai is making sure we're okay and ready (Well, I wasn't really but I tried to play it cool.) Chara has already got her head under the water. Guess that means I should too. And down I went.

I feel my face urging me to go back up, but I know that I can still breathe. I see nothing, just darkness. I quickly realize I'm closing my eyes. Oops. When I open them, I see a wave of colour. Corals are stretched across the sand, and it looks as if they're glittering, but perhaps that was my blurry vision. Before I could admire more, Chara pulls me by my arm, insisting me to come with her. Maybe she's got something to show me.

She shows me schools of fish, an array of crabs, and possibly the cutest sea creature you could ask for. Aukai pats us to remind us that we still have a job. He's been looking very intently, and even has a metal detector. I get excited when I see that it beeps, but the only thing Aukai digs up is metal cans. Aukai passes me the detector to see if I can find anything, and sure enough it beeps. I dig through the sand for what feels like a long 60 seconds before revealing...

"Five cents!" I attempt to yell, but it actually sounded more like gibberish. Either way, both Chara and Aukai see the coin and give me big eyes indicating a smile. But soon enough, we're already searching again.

I continued my search when I suddenly felt a strong ripple of water cling to me. It looks as if thousands of bubbles had appeared out of nowhere, being generated all at once like a machine. I suddenly see Aukai's tail swishing violently through the waters, looking as if he were swimming away from something. Following him was a cast of crabs with their claws ready to snap. Chara is as alarmed as I am, so we decide it's best to follow him.

We catch up to Aukai just before we reach the boat. He desperately tries to bring us onto the safe surface of the boat. I realize I'm holding my breath and heave a big sigh.

Aukai is the first to speak. "Oi! Those crabs.. they think my shine is like jewelry! I thought we were deeper into the water, but clearly they still saw somethin' shiny." He paused and then shook his head. "Looks like our crab problem still isn't over."

"Um.. guys?" Chara hesitates, staring down into the crab infested waters, "I think I see Shark's tool. And I think the crabs are trying to steal it."

We all stare at each other in silence. Before anyone could say something, Aukai dove.

My heart stopped. I felt like a bucket of sweat just splashed onto me.

But in just seconds, he rose back with the tool. "Oi! Oi! We found Shark's tool!"

I felt a gust of relief as he stood proudly on the boat. We found Shark's tool. We found a crab rave. We found five cents.

As we make it back to shore, I wonder if I'll ever do something like this again.

Poor Iris had to fight an octopus for that tool, as if they were fighting for points...

Sal
Squid
Tool?


Sal knew a thing or two about tools, and was happy to go help him look for tools. Being an engineer, the actual identification of what he was looking for and wouldn’t be a problem at all. But... well, long story short, he know absolutely nothing about diving. He knew for a fact that it would be more difficulty and time than it was worth (maybe even more than he even had) to learn how to scuba dive or anything like that, but he figured using a snorkel would work, cause it couldn’t be tooo far from shore, right?

So in he went, Shaky and nervous but happy to be able to help in whatever way he could. Normally, it might’ve taken forever to spot such a thing on the ocean floor, where it might already have been covered up or something, but Sal had a trick up his sleeve. Or perhaps it would be better to say a partial solution in his pocket. It was his trump card, and as soon as he was in the water, he pulled it out- his magnet. He didn’t keep it out long, just scanning the ground once he reached the floor, but it pulled up some interesting things! He found two rings, a single diamond earring that for some reason made him think of the poor people moving on in the world, and a locked chest! Then, finally, the tool! He was so happy and proud as he got it back, but more importantly, he couldn’t wait to check out his new prizes!
