On with the fic!
The ocean is a wondrous place. Millions of different types of fish and aquatic animals can be found swimming at their leisure. While most think that seaweed may be the only type of underwater plant life, said thought is a big misconception. The green house of the sea has plant life beyond one's wildest dreams.
Humans may have the technology to delve into the darkest recesses of Poseidon's lair. However, that does not mean they know all of it's secrets. The lost city of Atlantis is just one of the mysteries adding to the lure that is the large body of water covering the Earth's surface. However, when men believed themselves to be gods, for triumphing over mother Earth, they found no traces of the legendary lost city.
Many believed the ancient city suffered a similar fate as the once great Titanic, corroding away in it's watery tomb. Although the more fanciful members of the human race believe who believe in the ancient Greek gods - and other such deities even though said deities defy all the laws of science - the world of Grimm's fairy tales, ghosts, spirits, the great beyond, the hero's of Homer's plays, say the mystical ancient city still exists in a place where man has yet to venture and probably never will. A place where the mysterious creatures of the sea are guarded from man's destructive touch.
Of course most humans would rather believe in the ways of their sciences and say that such mystical stories were just that - stories. A story made up to entertain a child's imagination. Most of the time the more "sensible" people don't even give such an outrageous theory a second thought. Especially the non believers who have their hearts set in absolute power. However, when one is trying to gain absolute power, it is wise to make sure you have all your bases covered. Even if it's something as silly and fanciful as guardians of the sea...
It has been over 100 years since man conquered the Earth - or so they thought - as they moved their vision skyward. This little over site suited the creatures of the sea perfectly.
AC 180
"We don't have any choice, things are getting out of control and we need to protect our people."
"But we don't know that they will find us! What if he gets caught or worse killed! You are willing to take that chance, but I'm not."
"My prince, we don't have the same security we did in the past. The humans are getting more and more powerful. They have all kinds of large robots in the sky as well as on the surface. It's only a matter of time before they make suits for the greater depths of the oceans."
"...I know..."
"Son," a new voice joined in the heated conversation, "As much as we don't want to do this, it is important for us to protect our only home against the greed and evil of the humans. Unless you would like for all of us to leave the water forever and ... live among those with two legs? Never to feel the joy of riding with our aquatic friends or explore the sunken ships of man..." The old kind didn't need to continue, as he saw the look of horror then defeat enter his son's eyes and stature. However, before he could comment arms of steel pulled his son into a reassuring hug.
"Duo, you know why I am doing this. I'm not trying to hurt you, but this mission is extremely important for the safety of our race." He kissed Duo's forehead and looked into his eyes before continuing.
"I love you, and I love our world and I can not just sit by watching as the humans take over, destroying the planet. You have to trust me to come back to you like I have in the past."
That was true. This wouldn't be the first time the humans had attempted something like this. Although, with every passing day they became more and more technologically advanced, which just made them more dangerous.
Duo knew he couldn't argue against this any longer. He didn't have to like the fact that his soul mate was undertaking such a dangerous mission, but he would reluctantly consed defeat for the time being.
"Why can't I come fight with you..." His voice was weakening, because they had this fight many times already.
"Sire, you know you can't go because you are the prince. Plus the odds of one of you getting discovered would be much higher."
Duo sighed again and pulled his other half against him, tucking his messy haired head under his chin and nuzzled said hair, "Hee-chan, if you go and get yourself killed, I will follow you to Hades' lair just to kick your ass then I'll kill you myself.
"Baka," although Heero's words were said jokingly, he knew his love meant every word he said. he just hugged the keeper of his head closer as well.
"Ahem..." The king looked over at his son and protector with a small smile on his face. The pair turned as one to look at him, not at all ashamed of their little display. "Heero, the people and myself are extremely grateful to you for taking on such a high risk endeavor. I know this is not going to be an easy task and we shall pray that Poseidon will keep you safe and return you to us like he has in the past."
Duo pulled his koi closer, he knew that even though Heero always returned, he wasn't his usual self afterwords. It would take Duo and their closets friends months to return Heero to his pre-mission state.
"Howard is waiting his his boat not to far from here. The ocean above us is "neutral" territory since it is part of the Sanq Kingdom. There will not be any military patrols around."
Heero nodded, "I shall go." He turned to Duo, "you take care of yourself. Don't make me sick Hilde after you."
Duo made a face, "ugh! She can be way to over protective! Worse than you when you leave like this!"
"Who's worse than Heero?" Said mermaid had stealthily snuck up behind Duo.
How Heero managed to keep the amused look off his face completely baffled his lover. However, Duo had more important things to worry about - like how to escape Hilde's evil clutches...
"Someone worse than Heero? Hilde! Would I ever say that! I don't even think it's possible..."
Heero chuckled to himself and gratefully used the distraction to make his escape. However, like Duo, he had a very bad feeling about this particular journey to the human world.
