‘Master, I found your other half.’ Kalia, a gray dolphin, told me. Skyr and I were on another part of the beach where it is slightly secluded. We couldn’t go back to our old spot because a couple of kids decided to lurk there, we had no choice but to transfer.
As we were looking for a way to contact them, I felt the presence of this dolphin and asked him to call for Byron and Trei. I could obviously just use the radio that Trei gave us, but I would rather not risk it.
‘Were you able to talk to one of them?’ I wanted to make sure that she was talking about Trei. As a sea folk, Trei should be able to understand their tongue.
‘I think the one guy with black hair did. I think they&rsquo
The water’s cool temperature seeped into my wet suit the moment I was ejected from the submarine. I believe the only dry thing on me is my hands, which were being protected by my combat gloves.My lungs have gotten used to the fact that I could breathe underwater that I could no longer cough or hold my breath to allow it to adjust to the transition. Now, it was one swift process.At the corner of my eyes, I saw Trei gesturing for us forward. We swam towards him until he lifted his hands for us to stop. He pointed at something ahead and we saw a boat passing over our heads. Trei waved for our attention again and pointed downward.We nodded and followed Trei deeper into the water so we wouldn’t be able to attract any unwanted attention. Especially since we were with our blue friend over here.
In that split second just before the metahuman grabbed him, he met my gaze before sending a powerful vacuum behind. The strong currents dragged the giant jellyfish metahuman several feet away from him.And after that, Byron met my gaze with a wide grin on his grin.‘You...You heard me, didn’t you? Byron?’‘Yeah. Can you hear me? Hello? HelloOoOo?’ If Byron did not smile and responded to me, I wouldn’t have believed it. But still, even with the proof right in front of me, I still can’t believe it. Guill’s theory actually worked!‘NATHALIA!? HELLO! CAN YOUUUUU HEAAAR MEEE-’‘YES, BY
I got nervous because a current started to form the moment I freed the hole to the entrance. Byron and I gripped the walls beside the hole just before we were sucked in to prevent ourselves from being dragged inside along with the current.We both waited for a few seconds until the vortex finally came to a stop.‘I think we might get ambushed if we go inside now.’ Byron pointed out.‘Gee. Thanks for stating the obvious, Byron. Let’s go.’ I moved towards the entrance but Byron blocked my path.‘Maybe I should go in first to be safe.’ He offered.
My body shivered in horror as I realized that it was indeed Jack - one of my comrades from Squadron C - floating there as a metahuman.‘Hey now, just because I look different doesn’t mean that you have to give me the silent treatment.’ Jack says. Judging from the careful thoughts that he sent me, I could tell that even though he was acting like it wasn’t a big deal, whatever happened to him was something worse.‘It really is you…’ Disbelief and anger were fighting inside of me. I don’t even know what I am supposed to do right now. ‘The others. Jack, what about the others?’ I was afraid to ask, but I have to. I want
It was now midnight judging from the watch that Trei gave us that we have yet to return. I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling. It was a long day yesterday but I couldn’t find myself going back to bed.My nightmares were getting worst that I would rather be awake than asleep at most nights.I kept dreaming about throwing my past leader Falco, who is currently a turtle metahuman, towards two other metahumans that are supposed to be my comrades. In my dreams, Falco couldn’t stop himself and killed the other two by slicing them in half. The scene kept repeating itself over and over in my dream like someone kept hitting the replay button. And when it does change, it would be with Jack as an eel metahuman being thorn to shreds by Duncan, who’s in the body of a hammerhead meta. I don’t know what happened to Jack after he electrocuted
“So you guys were able to establish a bond where you could speak into each other’s minds?” Trei sounds a little skeptical. Byron and I were sitting side by side while Trei stood in front of us and giving us a skeptical look. “Does that mean that he now has the same ability as yours?” He asked me.“I wish,” Byron mumbled with a pout.I rolled my eyes at him before I responded to Trei. “Guill says we share the same soul. That should mean that we are somehow connected with each other in some form of way. And I guess that communicating with each other is one of them.” I explained to him.Trei straightened up and crossed his arms over his chest. “Fascinating. Maybe there was a purpose why the soul reincarnated into two bodies.” He mumbled as if there was s
It was the second day of traveling going to Belize. We were mostly making stops to rest the engine for going turbo the whole time. But most importantly, we were taking refresher courses on combat with Skyr.As the General says, training never stops because it is the foundation of mastery. We would even have a few water combats as well, in which Trei would join us to fight off Skyr. But it would mostly end badly for us as long as Byron won’t use his powers on the young former general of Atlantis.And to think that Skyr was using old underwater gears that were slower than the upgraded version that we used before when we were in Atlantis. But the concepts are the same. Little turbo gears would be attached to the suit that could read the bodies’ movements and fire up that turbo’s base from the movements that we make.
‘Where should we go?’ Byron asked. He swam ahead of me and drifted lazily in the water.‘Maybe we should come closer to one of the many holes and ask nearby creatures there like...I don’t know...the original plan?’ I made sure to emphasize the word plan to Byron seeing as he was asking me about the plan. Again.‘Alright. Do you need me to boost us there?’ He stopped backpedaling and turned his whole body until he was facing me.‘Maybe later when we are deeper underwater.’ I told him. ‘People might spot the currents
“...and after that, the sea serpent named Silisk was finally reunited with his beloved master. Lord Meruem.” I glanced down at the two children before me as I finished the story. Two girls. One had platinum blonde hair, and the other one had a pure white one. Though they look like sisters, twins even, they’re not. They’re just cousins. The girl with the platinum blonde hair is named Alice. She’s five years old. Her eyes were a pretty shade of blue, just like her mother. Her dress, which was obviously a product from the surface, is teal in color. She never pays any attention to my story, not unless it involves animals. She kind of reminds me of my brother, in a way, who is still obsessed with sea creatures up to this date. The white-haired little girl is named Olive. She’s also five. Her eyes are of the same shade of yellow as her father's. She has wrink
“Holy shit. That thing is so nasty up close.” I could hear Trei’s commentary somewhere in the distance, but I could not look for him because I could not get distracted as I held Silisk in place.‘Master, we’ll help.’ Dodo, one of the Megalodons, came out of the water and tackled Silisk away. But before they could disappear into the water, Iocules came to assist. His long tentacles wrapped around the serpent’s mouth, and he forced it close. Because Silisk was too big for the Megalodon, the other sea creatures assisted, including the guardians from Urei’s domain.A Kraken, three megalodons, and the five sea monsters weren’t enough to keep the serpent in the water. It wasn’t until Fifi arrived and placed her weight along with the others that they were able to keep the snake in check.
Riding on Nalu’s back while he runs on the water’s surface was way worse than when he’s running underwater. There was no buoyancy force that fights and cancels his speed, and let me tell you, Nalu is called a water horse for a reason. Byron and I had to keep on our helmets because of the wind resistance at Nalu’s speed.If Nalu had not wrapped his watery mane on us around us as seatbelts, we might have been thrown to the water a few minutes earlier.“Nathalia, where is he taking us?” My brother asked behind me, which I heard from the radio in our helmets.“Puerto Rico. Apparently, that’s Silisk’s next target.” I said and glanced down on the octopus curled on my arm as I grabbed onto Nalu’s mane tightly.
Our group separated for the plan. Knowing that Ylgarr is dead, Atlantis no longer has a leader to command them. And, with the release with the serpent, Skyr was certain that the people must be in a state of panic. Also, with Rachel’s situation, she needs immediate help, which she can find in Atlantis.Trei plans to head for the rebel facility to talk to his great-something grandfather and send help to assist us in the battle. If there’s one thing that we know that Silisk would do, it's that he wants to floor the lands. But the question is, where?“You guys take Fifi,” Byron instructed Skyr before petting his prehistoric dinosaur buddy when she let out a whine in protest. “Sorry, Fifi. I need you to protect Rachel while delivering them safely back to Atlantis. Can you do that for me?” Byron got his response when Fifi stopped w
Silisk was gone. He managed to escape the storm by devouring the blood of Iocules(Max) that lingered in the water so he could pass the storm. We didn’t go after him. Instead, Skyr, Fifi, and I looked for Byron and Rachel.We weren’t the ones who found them. It was Trei who contacted us and informed us that Nalu was able to them. He says that they’re floating on what’s left of Silisk’s dead skin in the water. It wasn’t long because I used my connection to track down Nalu and immediately found the others. They were all standing on the massive snakeskin chunk on the water that served as a mini-island.I did not wait for Fifi to stop as I rushed towards them. When I landed on the skin, I felt relieved when I saw Byron and Rachel, but not in a good way. Byron was holding onto Rachel tightly as Emily tried to stop the bleeding from
I held onto Byron’s arms as the island began to shake violently and Silisk slowly awakened. What seemed like a massive rock behind the crazed form of Ylgarr suddenly began to shake. It wasn’t until slits formed and opened that I realized that those were Silisk’s eyes that cracked open. The slits of his pupils focused on us before raising his head.His body, which we were standing on, began to move and lifted us up and away from Ylgarr. Watching Silisk shedding away his scales was terrifying. I felt like I was watching my nightmare come true right before my eyes.He was massive that we were just as tall as his slitted pupils. We had to look up just to watch him emerge and pull his face off of his shedding that seemed to stick together due to time.“He lives. He LIVES! I DID IT!” I
A sudden wave of turbulence burst in our way the moment we crossed the barrier that Helighor warned us about. Byron fought off most of the wave that was headed our way using his magic. But it was pitch black in these parts of the water that Byron couldn’t fight off every wave that threatened to wash us away. The only lights here are coming from our helmets and the submarine that Emily and Watson were in.Falco and the other metahumans moved closer to our huddled group and pushed us back whenever it seemed like we were going to slip away. I saw a couple of light flickering by Fifi’s armpits, which assured me that at least Emily and Watson were still with us.‘Helighor!’ I reached out to him with my mind because I didn’t know how long we could last in this weather.
The next morning we left the crate back on the island and only brought what we could with us. All of us were fully geared as we rode onto Fifi’s back. Byron, Trei, Rachel, Skyr, and I rode Fifi while Emily and Watson were driving the battleships they managed to scavenge.Skyr and I were sitting side by side as we rode Fifi. We haven’t talked about it yet, but it was evident that our relationship has changed after that kiss. We managed to talk about it last night and agreed that it’s not the time to tell anyone about us just yet because it might cause a distraction for some of us. We had never been in a relationship before until recently, so we were still awkward about it. But all we know is that we got more motivation to help us win this war.I noticed Jack swimming at my other side while looking in my direction. Skyr ignored him, but he didn&
We were riding on top of Fifi’s back when we met up with the others. I thought that we would be meeting a ship, but it turns out that it was just a huge crate of gear supplies. We mounted that box onto Fifi’s back with the help of the metahuman squadron C, who was also not happy with getting abandoned. Emily, Watson, and Rachel were the only ones who talked to us. They informed us that they were able to scavenge a few working pieces of equipment from the wreckage on the previous war. Watson was able to scavenge a couple of ships that he and Emily could use. As for Rachel, she still has her handgun that she was currently cleaning.While the others were busy talking and checking on the crate, Byron and I sat at the backmost part on Fifi’s back as we followed behind Helighor.‘So…’
