As Thea came on board, she was holding something or rather someone, it was a baby that seemed to look like Steel to the others.
Crimson could see how much there was tears coming out of her eyes and he asked, "What's Wrong? What Happened? Where's Steel? Wasn't he with you?"
She was still crying as she tried to speak, "St - Ste - Stee - S - I'm sorry but he's go - ne!!" everyone were shocked by what they were hearing.
Steel was gone? But how exactly? Was it relating to the explosion that the others had witnessed? Or was it something else? Thea then sat down and tried to explain everything.
But Lucy and Hope told her to calm down and wait for until she was ready. As the ship sailed, along with rescuing the tribe people, the ship set course.
"Wait how come this ship is moving while you two are still here? Are we in some kind of haunted ship or something because this is getting creepy".
Hope then explained that it wasn't really haunted but was actually alive and acted a defense mechanism for any signs of threat.
"It must be when the ship had crashed, many of the drives in it were damaged and took it so long to fully reactivate, can't believe that".
Rico then asked, "If this thing is alive then where on Earth is it taking us because I'm feeling like this ship is trying to send to watchima call it, Harold's locker?"
Lucy then corrected him saying that, it was Davey Jones's Locker, Rico didn't seem to care about that but what he did care about was where on Earth were they being taken to.
"We're taking you to where we should've taken you when you all came here, Mountainview University". And as out of nowhere, Akako had heard of it.
"Wait, you mean that super rare school that's truly hard to get in and a selective few are chosen to participate to prove their worthy?"
Everyone looked at Akako with Awkward eyes as he seemed to know more about this place and somehow everyone has heard of it but was labelled as a rumour.
"I never knew that place was real, I always thought of it as a scam just to get someones cash out of their pockets, man I had lost $400 worth of Watch Dogs man".
Whined Ninja as he was becoming aware of this place. "Well yes it's real and now more scarier, theres one less seat and now the chairman is going to kill us".
They began to explain that Stella who was Z and Marcie's aunt was actually the boss who was the founder and current owner of Mountainview University.
They were already too shocked by a lot of things and didn't see any reason to be shocked anymore so they carried on listening to what they were saying.
"And she told us that we need to see if Z is still alive and she believed that when she found a picture of what her nephew would've looked like.
She ordered us to find him but she found out others that seemed to be in her interest meaning all of you were chosen and you've passed the test.
Since it's our job to think if all of you have proven yourself to be worthy of being enrolled in this big university and since that, you'll be paid.
A limited food supply in a week, your own dorms and you get to be in a big community that others wished to be in". They seemed excited from hearing this.
