Three Years Before…
"Momma!" A shrill cry escaped the boy's lips as he called for his mother, scared, alone, and to be honest confused the boy began to reach for her.
It was pure desperation, he knew for a fact that he could not save her and yet he tried. And as she was dragged away inside the net he could hear his mother letting out a low hiss in pain, she hated the surface but it was where she was going.
And the poor boy could only lift his head to the surface waters revealing his now exposed face, small droplets of water trickling down his face mixing with his tears, he screamed for dear mercy crying out his mother's name wondering where his father was. He should have been there right?
To help protect his momma but it was too late for that she was now flapping helplessly above water inside the net surrounded by other fish whom also seemed rather distressed if at anything else.
But as she was released from the net and onto the ship a series of "oohs" and "aahs" fluttered in her direction, the men surrounding her to get a closer peak.
They had now seen a mermaid something that was forbidden, one even looking over board to spot the younger mermaid crying for his mother but to no avail.
No one wanted to listen so his tears were disregarded, his mother helplessly attempting to make her way over the ship and into the water, something she managed to do with success while they were distracted while staring at her son.
But it was not as if she got away unharmed, she had already been cut up so she was bound to die, something she knew full well but to keep from exposing her kind she had to do what she had to do.
Drifting into the water, the boy swam for her his arms outstretched towards her preparing to hug her, of course his mother simply returned the hug slowly dying in his arms bringing tears to his eyes.
Present Day
He always recalled that exact memory from the past no matter where he was he always believed that it was his fault that his mother had died.
While the rest of the kingdom seemed to be over with it, including his twin Ventus, and his father, Vexen, and his sister, Namine, but Roxas…he could never be over it.
If it wasn't for him his mother would still be alive right now, watching him as he swam through the dark and murky waters with his fellow companion Demyx.
Demyx just so happened to be a Manini fish being tang in color with green eyes that showed complete curiosity within them same as his personality; curious and playful.
The two had now journeyed into the murky waters of Atlantica to find an abandoned ship that the blonde discovered earlier; apparently it was the ship belonging to one of them, the humans.
"C'mon Demyx…stop being such a guppy." The blonde let out a low chuckle to his own and rather harmful joke.
While usually he was shy and quiet around Demyx he seemed much more outspoken and calling Demyx a guppy was something he always seemed to laugh it.
It was actually the only word that got Demyx to do anything "adventurous" due to Demyx being fairly terrified of just about everything.
"I am not a guppy okay…I just don't see why we gotta go swimming in these murky waters and such. There could be SHARKS out here or something!"
Letting out a scoff the boy replied "Pffftttt, there are no sharks out here now c'mon."
Swimming delicately towards the ship, the tang colored fish at his side, the boy made his way through a small hole in the ship.
Most likely a window or where the cannonballs came out of, it was something Roxas didn't even know about and when it came to humans….Roxas SHOULD be an expert.
"M…M…M-Maybe you should uh go inside and I can keep watch, yeah?" The Manini asked his humanoid friend in hopes he would be able to stay out of harm's way.
"Sure you can stay out here…and watch for sharks when they come okay" The boy snickered.
"Yeah…Yeah…watch for S-SHARKS!" The fish had finally caught on to what the boy had said, and began to slam his body into the small circular opening literally shoving his way in.
Quickly darting towards his friend Demyx clung to his side teeth chattering in response to the idea of sharks coming within fifteen feet of him.
Sharks would make someone like him a nice, tasty, snack.
"C'mon Demyx…there are absolutely NO sharks out here I promise"
"B…B-B-B-But you never know! What if uh-"
As the fish stammered on, the one called Roxas slipped through the ship silently grabbing various objects and placing them inside the bag he used for his treasure.
He never left without his "treasure bag" it kept all his trinkets and such safe until placing them within his hideaway.
As the two, well Roxas, continued to explore a large shadow engulfed almost half of the entire ship.
It only appeared for a second before fading then reappearing on the side of the side of the ship, and of course Demyx had already known what it was.
When it came to creatures bigger than him…Demyx was almost a psychic.
The blond male (obviously not paying attention) continued to hum a small tune one that he remembered from his childhood, his mind was more focused on the small triton like object that rested before him.
The shadow had begun to move in much closer to where the fish could literally hear him breathing behind him.
Turning his head ever so slightly, Demyx let out a loud screech like noise in terror as the large Hammerhead Shark's mouth opened and let out a snap towards the fish, which he managed to skillfully dodge by quickly dipping under the shark's mouth.
"ROXAS!" Demyx let out another terrified screech to warn his friend of the danger at hand.
The boy turned around fairly quickly only to see the large aquatic menace dashing towards him making various snaps preparing himself for his next meal.
The merman swam upward onto another floor of the ship through a semi-large hole hoping to escape the monster's clutches but to no avail, as the shark managed to shove his way through not to long after.
Roxas couldn't help but scream as well holding onto his treasure bag darting in various corners in a zig zag like line to keep the shark from getting to close.
Demyx on the other hand had already made his way out, through the hole they had originally entered, but Roxas on the other hand was still trying to get away.
The race continued up until Roxas finally decided to commit a daring act, one that could possibly enrage the shark even more.
Swimming into a corner the boy stood in wait as the shark began to dart towards him, digging through his bag of trinkets he pulled out a the object that he had found before, the mini triton.
…3…
The shark was moving closer
…2…
The shark was almost there
…1…
The shark had now closed in on him his hammer like head readying itself to smash into the male's fragile body, but he was mistaken.
As soon as the fish was close enough, Roxas quickly slid up under him causing the shark's head to bash into the ship as this happened the boy quickly swam on top of the shark grabbing a hold of its dorsal fin and pushing his way up to the left eye where he managed to plunge the small triton into the monster's eye.
Blood oozed out and began to spread into the salty water, the shark letting out a loud "roar" in pain.
It desperately tried to find some way to remove the object but having no way of grasping it he was unable to.
Roxas took this time to escape swimming as fast as he fins could carry him through a hole in the ship where Demyx awaited outside.
He made no attempted to talk only waving his hand to signal the Manini fish to swim with him as well the two moving back to Atlantica where Roxas' father awaited him.
