	[color=f49ac2]"Meowst valuable player- teehee."[/color] Sakura giggled. It was also a point of pride for her that her English was good enough to understand almost all of the puns some of her teammates were making non-stop. Mirage and Nadia in particular were the dynamic duo of puns. 

	They managed to clear the obstacles and Sakura was not very pleased with what she saw on the other side. [color=f49ac2]"This ship is so big it has its own place for sea monsters. Great. Doesn't that defeat the entire point of a ship you use to escape sea monsters?"[/color] The brunette leaned over the railing of their platform and peered into the murky depths. Her shoes and socks were getting wet. But she didn't exactly want to take them off and risk getting impaled by a rusty nail.[color=f49ac2] "Maybe your super fast swimming could still come in handy, Bella-san and Rika-chan. But let's hope no one falls in so we don't have to find out."[/color]

	Peach gave everyone a low-down of what she found on a nearby map. Now, they're plan was to get to an elevator. Go over the walkways, get to the Command Center, then Submersible area, then find a Submarine. Go down, drain the depths, and then the elevator will be free to use. 

	Mirage lead the way, using the helpful darts to ascened to the above walkways. Mirage tried to see a silver lining in them being kids. [color=f49ac2]"Eeehh...yeah, sure, okay. I mean, if we were adults like, all of us would have way more skills and abilities and magic...but, no, I see your point! Let's look at it that way."[/color] Mirage was a friendly guy. Too bad he was still Galeemified. They'd have to sort that out sooner or later, that stuff messes with a persons mind in unpredictable ways. Sakura looked over at a kid she didn't exactly recognize, who was voicing his concerns in a very weird voice. Was that old school English? When he talked before, it was kind of hard for her to understand...who else talked like that? Doing some quick mental maths, she figured this must be the Frog Knight. Guess he wasn't always a frog. 

	[color=f49ac2]"It might be dangerous. But we have to get outta here so we can, y'know, save the world! All the worlds. We won't be kids forever. Heck. Give it ten years- I'll be super powerful again, just you wait. You've never met a 15 year old tougher than I was!"[/color] Sakura giggled, joking. She slapped the sides of her head, shaking some nervous energy out of her wrists and legs. 

	[color=f49ac2]"Okay. I'll go next! I got this. Go Blue Team."[/color] An off-handed peace sign. Sakura was trying to feel herself out a little bit. She may be in tiny tot but surely her parkour skills were still in there somewhere? At least this time if she fell, it was only into water. Someone would be able to save her if she fell, probably. But she wasn't going to fall! So it wasn't a problem.

	One jump and climb at a time, she made her way up to where Mirage was. Her progress was a bit slower than his and she felt herself be a bit embarassed by all the eyes on her. She jumped up and grabbed the edge, a sharp thrill of panic and fear travelling up her spine as she felt her little legs dangle over the large drop. But once Mirage lended her a helping hand she pulled herself up. She rolled onto her back and then clambered to her feet on the suspended railway.

	[color=f49ac2]"Okay, okay great!"[/color] Sakura said, nodding, slapping Mirage on the shoulder. She rubbed her finger under her nose for a moment and then clapped her hands together. [color=f49ac2]"Easy. Easy as pie!"[/color] Her heart was racing but, overall, she was feeling good.[color=f49ac2] "I jump around everywhere. All the time. I can jump 10 feet in the air from standing, huh! This is easy as pie."[/color]
	
	Sakura held onto the railing and began to walk forward, psyching herself up. [color=f49ac2]"I'm not nervous or scared anymore, I got this. It's just a platforming section, that's all!"[/color] She'd go until she had to start making more jumps, in which case she would wait for the more agile or capable members of the group to catch up.
