Derrick could see the rings of the sea waves drifting slowly along. The land was so far away that Derrick had to strain and squint through the water and grease stained windows to be able to spot out the tiny black dot glimmering in the raving sunlight many miles away. The blue was broad and lay itself grandly across the open sky like a thick blanket over the warm young prince of gods. The dusky sun was settling beyond the horizon as it reflected the sky reflecting the ocean reflecting the sky reflecting the ocean. Derrick sighed and laid his head back against the wall and knelt towards the window. He didn't like this. He didn't like going from relaxation on a cruise to suddenly being back to business without even having enough time to take along the cabin minature shampoo bottles and soap bars. Raven mumbled a little as he was sitting in the big comfy 'Leader's Chair.' "By the way, we have a bunch of newbies to ATR on the way over also." Saber, Gohan, Dai, and James clenched their fists. "ATR is dying anyway." Derrick opened his eyes as he heard the rumbling of thunder in the mere distance. A shade of black clouds formed around due southeast like a pale flower in bloom among the reddest of roses. It curled back and seeped into a staggering pile, then lunged out to the sky like a snake. "Looks like these summer storms are hitting early this year," Derek commented. Below the shaded clouds did the cringily beautiful Ivory Island drift. It was the saviour of ATR and they had come to it for salvation. The copter finally landed and the ATRs stretched. Raven looked around. "Where's Tank." Derrick's mind was wandering again as he saw the other copters in the distance slashing through the air like dragonflies. So here I am. This exact spot. I'm standing here again. He let a puff of fog creep out of his mouth as he sighed and looked at the many miles of nothingness below his feet. He felt sick to his stomache, but not at the motions. Three ATRs in lab coats came rushing out with clipboards on their sides. "Ok, where's Tank." "Hm?" "WE WERE CALLED HERE BY TANK DAMMIT DO YOUR JOB." "Um, yeah. He awaits up in the Control Room in Raven's Nest; follow us." And what did Raven, Saber, James, Derrick, Gohan, Fenix, Dai, Derek, and ... Bob do? ................... ...................
