Aside from the submarine that is.
Whoever says that venturing out into the sea was fun, I would definitely like to meet them and make them live inside of one for a whole month. Underwater caves especially. They’re too damp and most of them smell like moss and dead fish.
But who am I to complain when in the wild, caves are the best shelter there is.
Though this underwater cave isn’t that bad. It was massive that it doesn’t feel cramped at all. In fact, it was big enough to host our massive submarine. And it also has enough sta

Through the blue hue that the glowworms provided, I could vaguely see the surprised expressions on Skyr and Trei’s face. And I can only assume that I was mirror the same facial expression as them.The only one who seems pretty excited about this news was Byron - as always.“That’s Momo, Kiki, and Dodo!” He exclaimed. Of course. Now I remember him mentioning having three Megalodons that he used to play with since he was a kid. To him, dangerous sea predators are just like having one of the huge breeds of dogs.I had to push Byron back because it seemed like he was going to divert the topic to something different at that moment. “Why would the Megalodons choose this place? And don’t you think that it is a little risky? People could discover that their species still exist!&rdqu

With the help of my father, Skyr was able to formulate a plan. With the ships that the Megalodons have sunk, there’s surely at least one of them that has this so-called detector that Skyr was talking about. He says that it is a special form of device that could track down fellow submarines at a certain distance. It would be really helpful if it can warn us of incoming Atlantean submarines. Of course, we all called him out that the device might work against us since it is some sort of two-way tracker in the first place. But then he brought out the fact that Byron knows his mechanics and could easily reverse engineer the code in order for the transmission to go one-way. I guess that would explain why Byron was able to sneak out easily before while we were in Atlantis. And also the reason why he was heavily guarded despite all of the technology available.

“Skyr, which way?” I leaned myself forward to activate the motion sensors of the jets in my arms to move towards him. Skyr was looking at the holographic map that he each provided each team with.Except for Byron. He’s alone on this task - aside from Fleex, who went with him.“According to the map, we should head East.” Skyr turned to me and waited until I was at his side before he started moving again.“Ugh! Are these the same version of helmets that we once used back in Atlantis?” I frowned at the glass in front of me that was separating my face from the water.“Yeah. Why?” If I hadn’t turned my head to look at Skyr, I wouldn’t have noticed him looking at me.

Skyr and I parted ways after that. Although Momo no longer feels threatened by Skyr, he seems to have taken a liking to him. Despite my instruction to Momo to stay close to me, he still leaves my side from time to time to offer Skyr some or of the damaged equipment that he could find.“Ugh!” I heard Skyr complaining from the intercom, making me stifle a laugh.I swam further down in the water began looking through the piles of broken metal and gadgets. I was becoming concerned about the state of the ocean as debris was distributed in fragments and by parts.“What did Momo bring you this time?” Byron was the one who asked. The others have already met the other Megalodons, and it seems like we were the only ones who had a little bit of trouble with our side. I already updated them about the cur

I followed Hilus, the sea turtle, over the boundary. In that instant, the intercom slowly died down until all I could hold us not to cross. As I did, the intercom slowly died down until all I could hear was static. It got so loud and distracting that I even had to turn it off. I focused my attention on Hilus instead as we got a little further from the boundary. Even with his smaller size, he could still swim faster than me if I hadn’t used my gears. Hilus stopped and pointed beneath us using one of his flippers. ‘Down there, my lord, just between those huge crevices. There’s a huge shiny thing traping my friend on the wall.’ My gaze followed to where he was pointing. Below us was a huge crevice. And it looked deep enough because the light didn’t seem to reflect what

Watson and Emily. They were one of the first Atlantean feist friends that I made along with Jack. Seeing them again for the first time in a while sent me into a blaze of nostalgia. I was having a mixture of feelings as I gazed upon two of my close friends. I was thrilled at the idea that they were alive and well. But yet I was dying out of curiosity if they will become my enemy as Rachel has become. The thought alone made me rooted to my spot, preventing me from engulfing them both in a tight embrace. Watson was the first to leave the submarine. As soon as he was on the seafloor, he looked back and offered Emily a hand but moved it down when he noticed that Emily could move out on her own. Emily let out a yawn and began

We were back in the cave where Byron and Skyr began to work to modify the tracker for it to function as an Atlantean ship scanner.But that wasn’t the only thing that our team managed to find. Skyr was able to find a somewhat decent mini-submarine that the Atlantean used to attack. Byron was able to gather a few spare parts to upgrade our ship. Trei and my father got a working generator and power engine to replace the busted one from our main sub. At the same time, I was able to get ourselves a tracker.As soon as I was within range to contact the others, I went to look for Skyr first so he could remove whatever chip was in there that would allow the opposing ships to locate us.I hunched and carried the generator as soon as Byron was finished fixing the damages and ensuring it was safe. Now, it was up t

Byron slammed his fist to the submarine’s side, making it wobble a bit from the exerted force. “Why is it that every time we think that we’re ahead, the guy always catches up!?” He grunted in his frustration.“Where is he now?” I ignored my brother’s outburst and asked the others.“The Megalodons are still blocking him, but I doubt that they’ll be able to stop him,” Skyr admitted. “Trei, how many fleets have been taken down?”“Almost a half of now from Kiki’s side. For Dodo, there’s only a quarter left. Momo is the one that’s having a problem.” Trei said.At the corner of my eyes, I saw Byron’s brow furrowed with worry. “They’re targeting him because he

“...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…’
