IA/Aria on the Planetes in Submerged

Ch. 2 Awaken

Hearing the low hum of the tram, The girls were fast asleep. The tram was surrounded by the enormous transparent tube. Outside of the tube showed the dark and desolate landscape. Lit up by glowing coral and groups of jellyfish.The inside of the tram was very colorful with propaganda posters to colored pictures of children on the ceilings.

"Destination Masakura ETA 2 min~ SCHER-CRANKKKKK!!!!!!"

Upon hearing the large explosion the force of the blast awakened the girls. Looking around, the cabin was flooding and the glass roof of the tram was cracking.

"Aria what the hell happened!! screamed Mayura.

" I have no flipping clue! All I know is that we need to do is get the hell out of here!!"

In the back of the tram was the door that lead to the tracks.

"Here we need to get door open ASAP" yelled Aria.

"Gotcha" replied Mayura

Both girls frantically scuttled to the back of the tram, trying to pull the lever.

"Aria its not working!" screamed Mayura

"Pull harder" torted Aria

The water now rising up to their knees.

"SHIT!!!" grunted Aria

"Why isn't this budging!"

As much as the two girls combined their strength , but the level did not budge one bit. Now the water level was substantially rising. The water was now up to their chest, in one last effort the girls held their breath and dove underwater in order to force their way out to safety. Both girls grabbed the edge of the level and with one last might of their strength...nothing. The level was stuck shut, soon the girls had to return to the surface for one last breath of air. Both girls tilted their heads up in order to receive their last few breaths.

"MAYURA I DON'T WANT TO DIE" cried Aria. With tears vigorously swelled up in her eyes and water entering her mouth, she desperately tried to gasp for the little pocket of air that was above her. On her left Mayura was too struggling to keep her head up before the cabin was entirely filled with water.

"ARIA!" exclaimed Mayura dashing from the opposite side of the cabin to reach Aria. Mayura felt something grasped her shoe.

"ARIA SOMETHING IS GRABBING MY FOOT ARIA PLEA------" the final words of Mayura before she was dragged underneath the waters surface.

"NOOOOOOO!!! MAYURA!!!" screeched Aria seeing her best friend go under. The water now even with her chin, she went under water and stood her toes to take the last bit of air. Looking above she tried to remember her memories before she accepted death. Memories of her and Mayura walking in downtown Masakura, to becoming #1 in her class. Aria didn't want those memories to die off, but soon she came to reality and the water had completely filled the cabin. She held her last breath and slowly her face became submerged. Sinking towards the floor the cabin she opened her eyes to see if mayura was still there. No sight of her whatsoever, just the sight of papers floating around. Aria felt a thump in her chest. Her time was running out. Trying to hold in her last breath. Soon the pressure of having no oxygen had reached Aria. She opened her mouth and the water rushed into her throat and nasal cavity. She grabbed her throat trying to stop the water from entering her lungs. Though there was nothing she could have done. Loosening her grip the water flooded into her lungs and her pupils dilated. Slowly her vision became blurry as she became asphyxiated. Blacking out Aria's eyes closed and her arms laid right next to her. Moments later Aria's body became lifeless drifting inside the cabin.

Minutes later, the necklace from her front pocket start to glow brightly. Her lifeless hands began to twitch. Her back started to arch, feet pointing down and her arms were spread apart. The eyes began turn empty, the blank iris overtaking her pupil. Then her eyes began glowing pure white, as a white hemisphere began to surround her. The hemisphere was expanding with every second. Each object that the hemisphere went touch became still. Suddenly hemisphere began to collapse onto Aria. Seconds later the white hemisphere disappeared leaving no trace of Aria...
