"Ants are dead" "I had a feeling they were the power just came back online yall did good I'll go ahead and tell loyal it's safe to start repairing the generators oh and mother pearl would like to speak with yall" Raquel said as we started walking to the barracks mother pearl lived in "what do you think she wants?" "Chesney said slowly slipping her hand in mine as I held it tightly "I don't know but be ready for anything in case they're planning something" I said taking the safety off my revolver as I she knew what I meant "welcome back children" "we've done all that you've asked" "certainly but there is one more thing we have for yall to do" "well what is it we'll get it done" "talk to loyal he'll tell you about our ultimate dream" she said as we made another trip to the hangar "pearl says its alright to tell you about the lady in the water" "what the actual hell is the lady in the water?" "Its an old B-29 bomber that crashed to the bottom of lake mead "YOU HAD ME AT B-29 HOW CAN I HELP" I yelled a little excited "well your gonna have to swim to the bottom of the lake and attach those two ballasts on the wings and then use this detonator to float it up to the surface" "well one question how the hell do I do all that without drowning?" "Well you could try holding your breath or go talk to jack I think he was working on a rebreather" "I think I'll go with that option" I said making my way over to jack "hey blondie I hear your working on a gadget that can help breath underwater" "well yes but it's not ready I still need a few parts from a pressure cooker to be able to put it to use" "*sigh* you wouldn't happen to have a pressure cooker on you would you?" I said turning to her "I do" a voice said as I turned around to see the courier "where the hell have you been?" I said angrily "none of your business" he said handing me the pressure cooker as I took it and handed it to Jack as he took it and installed the remaining parts in the rebreather he then tossed it over to me "let's get to the lake mead location" I said as we all fast traveled to it.

"Says it's right about here" I said pointing to the lake as I then looked at Chesney "I'll dive in and attach the ballasts on the wings you take this and pull the trigger when I give the signal" "well what's gonna be the signal" the courier said confused as I took out some underwater bullets "when you hear this shot it'll be the signal" I said taking off my helmet and putting on the rebreather "see yall on the far side" I said jumping in the water and staring the swim to the bomber.

(Chesney Rae's pov)

"Do you see a good spot" I said looking for a place where the signal would be best "that pier" the courier said pointing as we made our way over there and set up our position "what I'd miss?" Mizore said walking up to us "not much really" I said patting her shoulder as the signal to the ballasts got stronger.

(My pov)

"There it is" I thought to myself seeing the bomber as I swam up to the right wing as I took out the first ballast charge and attached to the bottom of the wing as I did the same thing on the left wing "time to send up the signal" I thought to myself firing the underwater bullet.

(Couriers pov)

"What was that?" Mizore asked confused "thats the signal" Chesney Rae said pulling out the detonator "this is my chance" I thought to myself as I tripped mizore as she fell on the water turning the whole part of the lake into an ice sheet as Chesney pulled the trigger.

(Chesney Rae's pov)

"Oh no" I said as the lake was now an ice sheet "he's coming up fast that ice will crush him if he makes it to the top" I said looking around in my bag for anything fire related as I pulled out some explosive incendiary arrows as I notched one into my bow as I released onto the ice as it exploded into fire breaking apart as the bomber rose up out of the water with clay on the left wing.

(My pov)

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED" I yelled swimming to shore "I-I fell" mizore said shamefully "well at least your sober" I said taking off the rebreather as I put my helmet as we then just watched the robots take the bomber apart to haul back to nellis "now let's get back to loyal".
