"Well, make with the sub summoning!" I said, though I still didn't look to comfertable in this place....especally whenever a ghostfish flits through me, my phoenix soul kills it...again.

"So, I'm assuming that most folks are behind the sub idea. Let's get this nut cracking, or something."

Phil thought of the best way of going about this. The water was right there; he could easily summon the sub directly into the water with neutral buoyancy, but that would leave the trouble of getting into the sub. But he couldn't just summon the sub in this hall; subs can't fly. So he needed a sub that could somehow get up into the water and a way of succinctly expressing such.

"●Summon: Frog Sub!" A large, metal frog suddenly took up most of the hallway. A reflective visor took up the space where the eyes should've been, and a silly-looking dome-shaped hatch with an orange, metal wheel was situated half-way down the frog's back.

"Ok, I think maybe six of us could get in there comfortably, so we can maybe cram eleven or so in there. Lesse, don't need to bring the bird or Tarrin, MT may have himself covered. That leaves Arhra, horrible snake beast, Flare, the skeleton, the guy with the orange cape, plant man, Mauve, Phoenix, Skyshot (if he's around here someplace), myself, and that robot monkey if I'm not imagining it. Hey, cool, eleven. Did I miss anyone? Would someone ride in the tank when Mammoth somehow gets it here and tethers it to the frog's butt?" Phil climbed up the ladder to the frog's hatch and turned the wheel. "I call pilot!"

Syttulg climbed up and in, looking around. "Oh hey, one of those bigger inside than outside dealies." He walked around and laid one of his hands on a console looking device, resting the gold contact points on his fingertips on the data ports.

"It appears that you need three people to man this thing. A pilot and two gunners. I call the secondary weapons system." With that, he walked into a corner, climbed up a ladder, and got comfortable in the control seat.

"It's name is Hydra." I told Phil, as I slimed in, and scrunched up as much as I can.

Raising an eyebrow at the gigantic frog-shaped submarine, MT shook his head. "Whatever. I can fit at most two additional passengers so long as they don't mind the lack of elbow room." As he spoke, he pulled out a round disc that looked like a large reflector and placed it on the ground where there was much open space. He then pulled out a remote and pushed the single button on it. A second later, light gathered in the air above the reflector, and the famous Mammoth Tank materialized.

Retrieving the telebeacon from beneath the tank, MT turned to the group with slightly narrowed eyes. "Again warning about the tight fit, who wants to ride back here? And come to think of it, anyone got a tether strong enough? I doubt bungee cord will cut it..."

"I'll take Primary!" Phoenix gleefully shouts, leaping into the Frog-Machine behind Syttulg. Aryali, naturally, could not fit, and so Phoenix dismissed her. After all, a stately ice-summon like herself was not fit to swim around in water in such undignified manners.

"Alright, let's go!"
