Prologue
A little known fact about sharks is they can think. Now, not all sharks have the brain capacity to think much beyond, kill, eat, swim, mate, repeat. There is a certain breed of sharks that have enough brain capacity to think beyond that, in a mockery of the human thought process. They can comprehend human speech. They can plan an attack; they can manipulate the forces to go with it. They love a challenge. Especially one in the form of a human, and though those are rare, it's even rarer that the human win in such situations. Actually, its damn near unheard of.
It is also a little known fact that this particular species of shark can turn human. Oh, you read right. Human. In fact, a large percentage of these sharks were human. And the other percentage was born from past-human sharks. Seeing as scientists have no idea of this race's existence, there is no official name for the human-sharks, so for sake of argument, let's call them Greater Whites eh? They bear a great resemblance to the Great Whites, their size and nature is all that set them apart from each other, when It comes down to it…along with the fact that both males and females can reproduce...but more on that later!
The Greater Whites, unlike their counterparts, have a taste for humans. They also love to cause havoc, especially the younger ones. The fact that they can become human does not deter them from their favorite dish, though one would call it cannibalism, they would call it survival of the fittest. They do not look down upon the humans they devour, in fact, if they put up a big fight, the Greater White forms a respect for their meal. If a human they hunt gets away from the shark, they form an even greater respect, though that doesn't happen often…
As was said before, The Greater Whites love a challenge, like a human fighting back with actual force and brains. The kind that go out to the middle of the ocean and hunt the shark, instead of the Greater hunting them. Or so they think. It is practically unheard of for a human to best a Greater White, let alone kill them. More often than not, the shark makes a meal out of the human eventually.
In the off chance that the human does best the shark, and take its life…well that's where things get bad. Though the sharks respect their meal when they put up a fight, they do not respect a human who takes one of their owns life away. In fact, they get pissed. Once word get out to the Greater Whites that one of their own was killed, the family of said shark swears revenge, usually sending the oldest male offspring to avenge his father's death. There is no record of the human surviving a second run in with a Greater White.
One such thing happened. In a small island that went by the name, Amity Island. A human, by the name of Sheriff Broody went up against a Greater White, and successfully took its life in the end. This shark, did in fact, have a family, though not close by. And when they heard of his demise, they swore revenge, sending their oldest male offspring to seek revenge. And he would have succeeded... if he hadn't been flooded with thousands of volts of electricity…of course, this didn't kill him. Only stunned him, and made his outer skin a very crusty brown...but that's beside the point.
Did I mention he fell in love? Must have slipped my mind…
