Bab 56: Tragedy

It was early when everyone was woken up. Madara awoke to Vanessa still laying atop of him. While everyone was trying to figure out where Vanessa was, Magna burst into Madaras' room to see him, and Vanessa sleeping together.

Once he saw Madara giving him the death glare, he slowly closed the door before saying anything.

"Mmh!" Vanessa moaned while stretching. "It's time to get up, already?" Vanessa said, getting off of Madara and leaving his room.

Since Madara was a morning person, it was easier for him to maneuver and get things done. He got dressed, then did a light workout, waiting for the rest of his squad to get ready.

"What was Vanessa doing coming out of your room?" Noelle asked Madara with an authoritative tone.

Madara ignored her and levitated into the air. Since Vanessa wouldn't tell her, she assumed Madara would say something. Since Madaras' and Asta's rooms were close, she turned to him.

"Asta, did you hear anything last night?" Noelle asked while glancing at the dozing off Vanessa.

"No... I didn't hear anything. I stayed up pretty late, so I would've heard something. Although, I did hear Madara going into his room, and that's all." Asta said while sitting on Crazy Cyclone.

After getting her answer, she sat on Crazy Cyclone, then they were off. Since Madara could fly, he had no use for a broom, or to ride with someone. On the other hand, the fly there was boring. The other's was flying so slow, it was killing him, but since he had a thick line of patience, he sat through the flight.

Soon enough they were on the beach, looking at the glorious ocean. While on the beach, people kept staring at him, well, not him, his body.

Consider how young he was, his body was something else. An extremely define six-pack, extremely defined arms, legs, back, just every looked good.

Not only was he getting stares from the girls, but guys as well. Madara could care less about the stares, it didn't bother him any.

Magna then came out wearing a loincloth. Asta didn't know what it was, so Magna explained it to him. Then, Vanessa came and showed off her swimsuit.

She was wearing a pink swimsuit, different from canon. Even though this was her normal attire, she still looked amazing. Madara then turned his head hiding his blush. He didn't even know he was blushing until Vanessa called him out.

"Oh, Madara. You like what you see?" Vanessa said in a seductive tone. What she didn't expect was for Madara to give back the same energy.

"I don't know, maybe you'd look better with it off," Madara said, smiling as Vanessa blushed and backed off.

'He's different from Asta and Magna. Is he even a virgin?' Vanessa thought as she walked over to sit on the lounge chair under the shade.

Luck lit Magna's loincloth on fire causing him to run around like a madman. Asta thought it was a part of some type of training, so he ran too. Now it was just Madara alone, and a shy Noelle trying to show him her swimsuit.

"Noelle, how long do you plan on standing behind that tree?" Madara said, making Noelle jump a little.

She then came from behind the tree with her face red and her fidgeting. Madara was confused for a moment, then remembered that she wanted Asta's opinion on her swimsuit in the original.

"So... what do you think..." Noelle said in a shy low voice. Madara could barely hear her.

"It looks good. It looks nice on you." Madara said, making Noelle's face turn beet red from embarrassment. She then ran off to where Vanessa was.

At this moment, Madara was looking at the ocean with his Sharingan active, looking for a dolphin. Now, why is Madara looking for a dolphin?

Because Madara has never been swimming before and a dolphin is a great swimmer. Not long after, Madara spotted a dolphin going thirteen miles per hour. Madara copied the dolphin's moments and jumped into the ocean.

"Has Madara ever been swimming?" Vanessa asked aloud after seeing Madara jump. Noelle was beside her, so she took the liberty to answer.

"Didn't Madara grow up with or near Asta?" Noelle said, looking at Vanessa who was slowly panicking.

"Asta has never seen the ocean before..." Vanessa said, getting extremely worried.

"So that means neither of them has swum before!" Noelle said as she and Vanessa rushed over to where Madara last was.

"You don't think he..." Noelle said, looking into the ocean with worry and fear.

"Hey, guys! What're doing over here, just looking?" Asta asked seeing Noelle and Vanessa look into the ocean.

"Madara jumped in with no experience on how to swim. It's only about a minute since he jumped in." Vanessa said, with clear worry in her voice.

"What going on, here?" Magna asked walking up to the three looking at the ocean with worried expressions.

"Madara jumped in!" Noelle said, worried.

"So?" Magna asked confused about what they were trying to say.

"He can't swim. He's never been to a beach, nor has he ever swum before." Noelle said, making Magna and Luck come to a quick realization.

"How long has he been down there?" Magna asked looking into the ocean to see if he could see Madara.

"It's been six minutes already..." Vanessa said, with sadness in her voice.

They all then realized what the outcome of this was. They all shed tears. With the five of them crying, everyone who walked past looked confused or had a saddened expression.

The ones who had a sad expression concluded that their friend must've drowned. They couldn't do anything but look with pity. A while later, Yami came to the beach to see everyone with sad expressions.

"What's with the sad faces?" Yami asked while smoking a cigarette.

"Not in a talkative mood, huh? No matter. Where's Madara, I have something to tell you all?" Yami asked making everyone grit their teeth. Seeing this, Yami got a little worried.

"Where's Madara?" Yami asked with slight worry in his voice.

"He jumped into the ocean. It's almost been an hour and he hasn't come back up." Vanessa said, in a sad tone.

Yami took off his robe, shirt, and grimoire holder. He took off his shoes, as well as his socks.

"What're doing, captain? It's too late." Magna said, seeing Yami take off his attire.

A purple aura then surrounded Yami as he ran and jumped into the ocean. The others were shocked by his action, but what could they do. They sat there and waited. They waited for ten minutes and no response.

Yami then gasps for air, coming from underwater. They were happy to see Yami, but their expression changed when he came back empty-handed.

Yami swam to shore and walked past his squad without saying anything. Not only was one of his members dead, but he couldn't even find his body. He felt so ashamed of himself.

Yami sat down and struggled to light a cigarette because his hand kept shaking.

"Come on. You've done this a thousand times, don't let this be the one time you can't." Yami said, to himself trying to stop his shaking.

Yami then explained the mission to everyone and said Noelle would have to be the one to get them to the bottom.

It's was nighttime, and the moon was out. Noelle was trying to make her cradle for them to pass through the strong currents. But her mind seemed to be elsewhere.

-A Few Hours Earlier-

The breathing exercises he did as a kid, made his lung capacity better than anybody. Madara took in as much air, as his lung could hold, and jumped into the ocean.

He used mana skin just to be safe. The reason he jumped was that he wanted to explore the ocean a little. Because he had the swimming techniques of a dolphin, he could swim faster.

Madara only found some things people dropped that were useless to him. He also saw a few creatures that were different from the ones on earth.

Since Madara was deep in the ocean, it looked the same to him, so he didn't know if the sun was going down or not. And because of his time management skills, he had no idea what time it was.

After having enough fun exploring, Madara decided to head back to shore. He used his water magic to propel him forward to move faster.

To be completely honest, Madara thought he was only underwater for a few minutes. So he expected the sun to still be out. When he was getting closer to the surface, he noticed it was darker than what it was before. He then came to a quick realization as to why it was so dark.

'Shit...'

Madara propelled as fast as his water magic would take him, and underwater, it was pretty fast. Since he had gone so far out, he was a ways away from shore.

Madara then dove deep into the ocean, then shot up just like a dolphin. While he was in the air, he flew at top speed back to shore. In only a few minutes, he was going to be back.
