Day 17

The next day was hardcore

Like the rest of the days, we would lay in the sun by the pool, watching the boats go by. We saw that girl on the surfboard about everyday and we would all wave to her. She waved back too. I would always catch Kay staring at her, and so would everyone else. Ringo and Takashi would always shove her joking around because she stared so much. But after this day, we all understood why.

     I caught her staring dead on with her. She was actually stopped on the other side of the water facing Her. But Kay had that hard face on, like she was trying to figure something out. “Wellllllll… I think I’m gunna see how Bentley is doing. We didn’t even check on him since we got here. I want to make sure everything is full and functional incase we need him,” she said. We all looked at her with a puzzled. “Dude, are you serious? We are in the middle of Miami surrounded by people who don’t know us, plus you’re putting the boats and everyone in danger,” Takashi told her. And all she had to say about it while she was looking at the girl was, “So they better move.” She went over to the gate blocking her from going into the ocean and put her hands on it. I heard her commands to test run Bentley, but I really wish I didn’t. “This is stupid Kay. What are you doing?” I asked her. She heard me but she ignored me. Next thing you know, all the water in the intercoastal starts swirling around like a whirlpool. Posts with lights come up out of the water and form an electrical field around the whirling water. Speakers on the posts scream “Warning: Stay back. Initiating Tests” over and over again. You see the tips of metal doors coming out of the water. The waves start rocking and all we did was stop and stare in disbelief about what she was about to do. We heard mechanical noises, which my guess was the platform that Bentley was on, coming up, and the door gears moving around. The water was rushing into the newly made opening in the bottom of the sea. I saw the girl fall of her board but was still clinging on looking up at what was happening. Bentley came out of the ocean floor like some sort of god. The sunlight hit off the shiny purple metal just right to blind everyone. He was rising like the waters did in a hurricane. I looked at the girl and somehow she managed to get back on her board. It was something else I must say. His eyes lit up gold and his head moved from side to side, looking all around him, getting to know his surroundings. He looked over at Kayvroni like he was waiting for an order. She looked at him with a smirk and touched the back of her neck.

     Helicopters and Police were surrounding the area.

Sato and Leeha went to flash their badges to see if they can calm things down. Kay just stood there like she was waiting for something. I was thinking we were probably all over the news already. It’s not everyday a huge robot comes out of the ocean in the middle of Miami. Then Bentleys arm started to move around. It started spinning and you could hear mechanical noises again. Five seconds later, his arm turned into a huge cannon. “Kay! Stand down! What the hell are you doing?!” I yelled at her, but like she would pay any attention. “This is the police! Do not move!” She looked up at the helicopter circling Bentley’s head but didn’t seem to care much. “Bent, lend me an hand?” She said. His arm came over and his big metal hand opened up. She jumped over the gate into the water and swam to his hand. He moved his hand back up right near the helicopter. It looked like she took out her badge and flashed it to the helicopter. Then I heard, “This is Major Captain Kayvroni Washamarou of Section Nine of R.A.I.S. This scene is under the command of me and my team and by orders of myself, I suggest you leave.” Some SWAT looking guy came out of the helicopter to take a closer look at her badge and went back in. Three minutes later, all the helicopters and police started to retreat. I looked up at Her again to see her looking down. I figured she was looking for the girl but she was nowhere to be found.

     Bentley returned her to land and she went over and sat on the lounge chair. Riggs came over out of nowhere and flew her hand pointing at Bentley. “Uhmmmmmmm… What the fuck is that?” she said. “Where the hell were you? You just missed all the fun.” Kay responded, quite nicely I must add. “Out. I leave for 2 hours and this is what happens?” Kay shook her head and said, “Yes,” in a nasty tone. “We’re going to be all over the news you know that right?” Again, She shook her head and nastily said, “Yes.” “You want people to know were here?” Riggs was getting nasty at this point, but she’s always nasty. Kay walked right up to her and said, “Yes.” Then she went over to the railing facing Bentley and said, “Thanks Bent. You can go back now.” “Affirmative Major.” Just like he came out, he went back in. The posts were still standing, with the force field around him, sending out signals to boats and anything else near the area. The platform he was standing on began to elevate down, and all the water went with it. The doors finally shut and the posts went back into the water. The waves calmed down and it was like nothing even happened. “Was there a reason for that?” I asked. “There’s a reason for everything I do Al.”
