Okay. I think I'm finally ready to go. I awaken from my
concentration, aura still blazing. I do some last minute
stretches and get ready to jump into the ocean. Suddenly, I
stop. Should I take off my weighted gear? What if thhe
gravity and weight are too much for me once I'm under the
ater? After a few minutes, I shake my head. "No. I'll leave
them on. Makes it more of a challenge." I jump into the
water, and begin swimming the five miles to where the next
dragonball is. The journey is rough, but after 3 hours, I
get to the five-mile mark. While floating, I turn on my
dragon radar. "Just as I thought," i think to myself, "I'm
right over itt. How far down it is though is something I
have no clue about." I turn off the radar and prepare to
dive when something strikes my mind. "Hey wiat a minute!
i've never practiced holding my breath before!" Sighing to
myself, I let my aura die down and begin basic breathing
excercises. I take a deep breath and go down as far as I
can without losing my brath. Once I do, I come back up for
air. I continue to do this for three hours. After this
time, I can hold my breath for about 1 minute and 40
seconds. "Hmm... not good enough. Gotta keep practicing." I
continue my breathing practices for another 3 hours, and
increase my time to 2 minutes 35 seconds. "Still not good
enough!" Then, an idea strikes me. What if, once I reach
the bottom, I fire a masenko downward and propel myself
upward?! It just might work! Curious, I decide to put my
theory to the ultimate test. I begin to charge up again.

"There we go!" I say to myself, noticing my blue aura. I
get psyched up and dive downward into the dark depths of
the Namekian ocean. As I swim down, I see many kinds of sea
life, from fish to crustaceans to plant life. They are all
so very different from each other. "Looks like Namek has
Earth beat when it comes to diversity in sea life," I think
to myself jokingly, trying to ease the intense mood of this
test. Light becomes scarce as I swim farther down. The only
thing that increases is the pressure. The Namekian gravity
and the depth of the ocean are definately not helping me.
"Uhhh... feels like I'm being crushed all over, but I've
got to keep going," I think to myself. The only light that
remains is from my gradually fading aura, and that isn't a
whole lot. Veins begin to pop out all over my body as my
stress level increases "Must... keep... going..." I think
groggily to myself. The pain is become more intense as I go
ever deeper into aquatic night. "Is there no bottom to this
ocean?!" Just when I'm about to lose hope, I spot the
dragonball! I pry it loose from the rocks and feel the
pressure beginning to literally crush. And now I'm out of
air! With the last of my strength, I aim down and yell
(well, sort of a yell anyway,) "MA<blurb!> SEN<gurgle!>
KOOOO!!!<BLUB!!!>. The large propels me and the dragonball
I'm clutching rapidly to the surface. I reach the surface
just in time. I frantically gasp for air, and clutch on to
the now floating dragonball. After getting a good grip, I
pass out from exhaustion, and let the floating dragon ball
take me where it will.
