Chapter 1 (Recovery)
It's been one year since the massive battle that took place in Antarctica. As fast as Zorndyke's creations came, they vanished entrusting the final fight being between Hayami and Verg.
The way it ended was unbelievable and the thought still lurks in the minds of all the people that were involved, especially Hayami. He had the sneaky suspicion that something will flare up soon but how, when and who will start the war was still a mystery to him. He often wondered, as does many other people, 'Where are they? Are they still out in the deep blue sea?'
Hayami stood on the balcony of the high-rise building and looked over at the clear blue sea. A mist began to settle in on the ocean surface that removed the suns reflection from the surface of the calm sea. Holding a cigarette in his hand he takes generous strides of smoke, thinking about the mess, that has happened during his un-eventful year.
The city can still be seen under the water, but with no attacks it was allowed to develop into something; roads built on pillars and buildings renewed, it offered a sense of hope and prosperity.
A cool wind breezed through Hayami's hair, offering a cleaning sensation and triggered a few long lost memories.
Deep in the mist of his mind he still has the recurring thought from time to time about the unsightly events that took place at Antarctica. The young aquatic hybrid girl, Mutio, plays on his mind from time to time, the image of her being taken away by Verg portraying a sense of shock and anger. "Why did she do that?" he questions himself.
This puts a whole new meaning to -beauty and the beast- but as soon as they disappeared they have not been seen since.
"This is just crazy!" he reassures himself pulling another cigarette from the pack.
He looked over the horizon to see an approaching object in the sea. The shear size draw his attention and it was clearly something he has not seen before. "What is that?" he says to himself. "Could it be another attack? Why? And after all this time?"
"That's the British!" A dark and deep voice bellows from the background of his room.
Hayami turned to the voice in a defensive position and replied, "What?"
"The great English invasion." A man states coming closer and revealing his sharp mysterious look towards Hayami.
"Who are you?" Hayami questions as he leers at him from a distance.
The silent figure just stood there, looking back; his long, black coat portrayed the sense of secrets and this slowly began to play on Hayami's mind.
Hayami was not in the mood for games, so he repeats the question, changing his tone, "Who the hell are you?"
The dark figure pulls out a note and places it on the table opposite Hayami. "Your help is wanted. If you accept, you can follow the instructions on the letter. Good day!"
The figure then disappeared into the unlit entrance as Hayami slightly chases him before looking at the pale white envelope on his desk mixed with a pile of magazines and notes.
-o-
Outside the building the strange character gets into his car parked on the roof of a makeshift car park next to the main building.
"Do you think he will take the job?" said the driver.
"I do not know; he's a mess. Why do they want him?" the mysterious person said adding a slight sarcastic tone to his voice.
Hayami turned and looked through the window towards the mysterious object, which seemed to have docked at the port. Sure enough, he could see it's a massive submarine, but its something he'd never seen before.
"No danger!" he said to himself showing some relief.
The glow of the letter that reflected the suns rays drew Hayami's attention to it. The mystery, a job, could be something he can get his teeth into. So with a slight grin on his face, he decided to take a look.
-o-
Down on the port, a crowd of people began to linger around as they all tried to take a look at this new and wonderful vessel that is parked in their dock. Even the basic bystander going about his everyday chores had to take a look.
Unfortunately the crew of the boat, especially the captain, did not welcome this crowd.
"Great!" He said in his English language, "This is supposed to be a secret mission; what the hell is all this? These damn Japs can never get the orders correct. I hate this bloody part of the world!" He said, getting down from the deck of his sub.
He a young captain called Jake. By surviving the war with Zorndyke's creations he has earned his post throughout his years of service with the British fleet. He earned his role in being one of the captains of the great 'Deep Sea Six', one of the new advanced British deep-sea submarines in service.
His personality is basic for a person who is twenty-six years old and has witnessed a lot of horrible things. He gets on well with his crew, but he doesn't like being messed around with.
During his sea career he came in contact with some of Zorndyke's creatures that scared the hell out of him. It mostly ended up with them being killed; however, the rumour of the aquatic hybrid girls that pilot some of the machines is something that dramatically attracted his attention. He always wanted to see one, like the mermaids of the sea, but since nothing has been heard for over a year this fascination got lost in time.
"Hey! The great English invasion!" a crowd member shouted out in English towards them. However it sounded more like 'JapLish.'
The captain turns his head and looks at the crowd, but the culprit could not be seen. Just a wave of children and people crowded over each other.
Then a familiar voice of a girl bellowed out over all of the noise.
"Don't mind them, we do not see a lot of British ships in this part of the world," said Mayumi Kino, walking down the dock in her typical military uniform.
"Who are you?" asked the captain in a not-so-impressed tone.
Kino then removed her hat displaying her unaltered short red hair, and replied in English "I am Mayumi Kino. I have been ordered to assist you in this mission."
"And your name, captain?" she quickly and abruptly asked, not giving the captain time to speak.
"I am Jake, Jake McClain. I am the captain of the Deep Sea Six." He said as he looked for her name on the clipboard.
"Deep Sea Six?" Kino questioned as she looked at the hull of the boat with the slight ghostly feeling to it.
Then one of the crew stepped up from the sub to give the captain a cup of tea, which is an English tradition, however Jake likes his cup of tea and it has nothing to do with tradition.
"OK, you are on my list, welcome aboard. We still have one more person to come." Said Jake, taking a few final looks at his notebook.
-o-
Hayami stood in his room, looking at the note. "Damn English always secret about their jobs. So, do I want to go?" he said to himself.
He turned his head and looked towards the ocean, some kind of force kept pulling him in. He often felt the force of the ocean pulling him in but to what end? Perhaps he was born to be in the ocean or perhaps it's Mutio?
He often looked for a chance to go back to sea on a job and perhaps to run into her sometime, but so far the jobs he managed to get were small and nothing interesting. However, this note might prove to be a key.
Mutio's image started to become a distant memory. The prospect of moving on with his life started to become a reality, and no sign of Zorndyke's creations has been seen in over one year. Sometimes he would question if it was all a dream. But when he looks out of the window and sees the city under the water, he realises it's not.
He smiles as he places the note on the desk. "OK, What the hell!"
He grabs his jacket from the floor as he walked out the poorly lit entrance to his room on his way to the docks.
-o-
An hour passed and the crowd on the dock slowly began to dissipate, as the sub that was once interesting became a standard part of the port, people had their own lives to deal with left the scene.
The loading and unloading of supplies finished with the last of the crew standing on the deck, waiting for the last person to come.
"Who are you waiting for?" Kino asked stepping onto the deck, getting ready to enter the sub.
The swirls of the sea and the sounds of air jets coming from the sub were interrupted by someone talking.
"They are waiting for me!" Hayami walked down the wooden dock with his black jacket swaying from side to side, his posture portraying his confidence and seniority.
Kino's eyes opened wide as she saw him walking towards her; she almost jumped up with joy, but she ran towards Hayami giving him a huge hug, changing his persona from a strong and unstoppable person to a small, squishy toy.
He spoke with a sarcastic tone as he tried to push her off.
"You... Yu... You are cutting my air" Hayami said, gasping for air as Kino held on to him tightly because she has not seen him since the last war.
The captain, Jake, looked at them with a slight hint of annoyance. "God, who did they give us?" He then raised his voice and shouted at them "Hey! You two going to get a move on? We have a meeting to go to!"
Kino soon released his tight grip on Hayami and they proceeded into the sub.
-o-
When they entered the docking port of the submarine, they could not help but notice how different it looked; not like your typical sub. The hallways were lit by florescent lights and metal bulkheads and pipes aligned the walls, all giving it the "submarine look." However, when they arrived at the control centre, it was not what they expected. The control deck was massive and very spacious, each section controlled by it's own workstation with a large window in the front, displaying the ocean. The inner walls of the sub had water windows, which looked like passages filled with water and computer screens all around.
As Hayami walked in, he dropped his cigarette onto the floor with shock at the impressive view before him.
"The English have been busy!" he said, speaking fluent English.
"Well you know the English; they're the kings of the sea." Said Jake, looking pleased at their reactions to his sub.
Then Kino interrupted with an abrupt comment, "What happened to the English when Zorndyke's creations attacked the world?"
Jake snapped back at her and said, "We had our own problems; we lost our-land and all it's left are cities floating on the ocean."
An argument was about to flame, but Hayami broke it up and demanded to know what the whole situation was about.
"I haven't been informed too; for some strange reason they have called for all the good pilots they can find and I have been ordered to taxi you all to the underwater facility for a meeting. I have no idea after that." Jake stating this fact to Hayami who stood in the entrance, blocking the way.
"There is no smoking here!" Jake added as he spotted Hayami pulling out a cigarette, as he always seemed to do.
"Let's go. Activate all engines and head for the Blue Base!" Jake ordered.
"Yes captain, engaging caterpillar drives one through six, preparing to dive, flooding ballast tanks, close all steam ways, all hands prepare to departure." The voices in the background said as everyone prepared to get all the functions of the ship ready for departure.
The submarine, which is the size of an ocean liner, then began to sink gracefully into the water, leaving a hissing, misty cloud of water in the air as it disappeared out of sight.
Moving out of the dock, all other ships had to halt and allow the massive submarine to leave the dock.
The sudden spinning in place made any new people slightly lose balance before getting their bearings on what is happening.
One of the crew, who is Japanese and at her console, started to complain that the writing was all in English and she did not understand what it said. One of the other crewmembers sitting next to her typed a few commands into the console and changed all the writing to Japanese.
This was just a few problems the two crews of Japanese and English had to face while undertaking this voyage.
