Hey guys, sorry for the delay in posting. It's the last month of semester and I am trying to balance school and work. I hope you enjoy the latest chapter in When water meets fire. Now when the story gets to the end of the Aquaman movie I do plan to continue the story. I hope you enjoy and keep reading!
We walk around town, Mera is exploring and I'm walking with Arthur, Mera grabs roses and smells them…then eats them* Mera!-S *with a mouthful* whatt-M You're not supposed to…-S *Arthur takes a bite of the rose* you guys are crazy-S *he laughs, and gives me flowers* I am not eating these-S Come on-A * I give them back to him and walk away towards the fountain* She is never going to like me is she?-A Probably not..-M *I am standing at the fountain where a little girl is watching the water fall, Arthur hands me a coin, I hand it to the little girl and she throws it into the fountain * *I wave my hand and dolphins made of water jump around and she giggles, I look at Arthur and he laughs* That was sweet-A *I shrug* I think what we are looking for is up there-A *he points to where a group of statues are overlooking the water on a cliff, We all follow up to the top where the statues are, by process of elimination Arthur figures out which one to place the bottle in, he steps down* Have a look!-A *I stand up there and look, I slip and he catches me* Thank …You…-S *I get cut off by an explosion, we get thrown, A guy in a black high tech suit with red bug eyes jumps up, and Bunch of kings guards in red jump up surrounding Mera and I * Mera and Sapphira you are both wanted for high treason-Guard *Arthur gets blasted by the guy in black * Arthur!-S * I run in his direction but get cut off by guards* *Arthur and Black Manta start fighting, Mera and I look at each other and start fighting the other guards, I step towards them pushing my hand towards them and stomping my foot on the ground, stone rises up underneath them and throws two of them off the cliff, we continue to fight…a group of Atlantean soldiers surround me, My eyes glow and hair changes, I pull water from the fountain nearby creating a wall of water around me, I spin it outwards taking out the soldiers, A while later Mera and I defeated our guards, we look for Arthur and see him throwing a chain with two concreate balls at Black manta, he explodes and falls into the ocean, Arthur collapses and we run to him, I have him in my lap* stay with us Arthur..-S There tracking mer..a-A What?-S They are tracking your sister-A *he passes out, I look at her and she is confused but then grabs her bracelet that Orm had given her off her wrist and slams it against the ground shattering it* You are so naïve little sister…-S I didn't think he would go so far as to track me-M When will you learn…We need to get going…there could be more-S *We get Arthur onto the boat, Mera wraps him in seaweed and sits at the front of the boat, we make the boat go with our powers, she keeps it going* You think Arthur is okay?-S Yeah..he should be fine after a while. I'm worried about what we have ahead of us-M We are a team Mera…we can do this-S I'm surprised you even want to help Arthur…-M Hes growing on me. I just want Atlantis out of Orm's hands-S We all do….what would you have done if you would have had to marry him-M Probably leave again-S Reasonable..-M *I shrug, I play with a little fireball in my hand and Mera is playing her flute* Orm has always been awful and I like my life on the surface, yeah it's been pretty lonely but I enjoy helping people in trouble-S That's good. I have missed you like crazy sister. Dad just isn't the same without you around-M Well…after this is all over, maybe I will come back…only if Arthur takes the throne. Because no way would I be welcome back with open arms without him-S Well, lets hope he can do this-M I'm sure he can-S
A while later as the sun was setting. Arthur wakes up, takes off some of the seaweed that Mera had wrapped him in, he puts on his shirt and comes to the front of the ship with us
Umm did you steal a boat-A Are the boats at the marina not for public use?-M No…they belong to people-A *I facepalm and let out a sigh*Arthur sits next to me* Those were Orm's elite commandoes…but that one in black…who was he-S I have never seen him before-M He was a pirate…he blames me for his father's death-A he picked a dangerous line of trade-S I had a chance to save him..and I didn't , now I made an enemy and he could have hurt you and it would have been my fault-A well he didn't…and its behind us now-S Sapphire…I think you did get hurt-M *she points to my back and I Have cut across my shoulder blade, my shirt is ripped* ehh its nothing-S *Arthur turns me around so he can see my back* Sapphire…really?-A *I stand up* I'm find. It stopped bleeding a while ago…the journey ahead of us should concern you more-S Are you sure you're okay sapphire-A I'm fine Arthur-S *I go off to the other side of the boat and waterbended the water over to my shoulder blade and it glows and heals my cut*
*It gets darker, the trench creatures start coming out, Mera blasts one away with water, a couple swarm me and I make a fire ball in my hand they jump back…I take out a few, Arthur comes and throws a spear and it goes through three of them, he swings them around and knocks down all the ones on the pole* Quick inside!-A *he pulls me inside with Mera, he breaks a flare and shoves them in their faces, We get outside* ready to jump?-A *he grabs my hand and I grab Meras and we dive all the way through the trench and to the bright light* That thing is going to tear us apart-A It's our only choice-M *we all go through but get pulled apart* Sapphire! Arthur!-M Sapphire!-A Mera!-S *I get pulled out first and I'm floating in water by myself, next thing I know I'm on the beach, someone towering over me, Arthur burst through the water* Sapphire!-A *Mera comes up to and they both run up to the beach, the person pulls off there mask, Arthur and Mera stop, Queen Atlanna turn towards them, Arthur runs up and stops, she run towards him* Arthur?-QA Mom-A *They hug hard, I stand up, WE follow Queen Atlanna into her area she's been living in a cave with waterfall* King Orvax sacrificed to the trench, I fought my way through like you did and I have been here ever since-QA You've been here for 20 years?-M Tell me…is your dad…is he-QA He still walks to the end of the dock, every morning, every day waiting for you…Why did you never come back-A Because ..the portal you came through won't let you return…unless you have the trident-QA then we will fight…together-M No…The Karathen will not let you through…only the true king can get it-QA * Arthur looks at me and back to his mom with a worried look in his face* You're afraid-QA Yes.-A Good. You're ready.-QA Atlantis has always had a king, now it needs something more-S What could be greater than a king?-A. A hero. A king fights only for its nation, but you fight for everyone.-QA *Arthur looks at Mera, and then to me and his mom, he leaves and goes down pass the waterfall*
Sapphira….how are you…how is Cordelia-QA she's…dead. King Orvax killed her-S I…I am so sorry. It's all my fault-QA yes it is…but I've learned to forgive Arthur…and I'm trying to forgive you-S Thank you sapphire-QA *she hugs me, we hear something come up from the water and turn, Arthur steps out with King Atlan's suit and the gold trident* Let's get out of here-A *I smile* The one true king-QA You did it Arthur, I can't believe it-S I know. It's crazy-A So how do we get out of here-S On the Karathen-A *We take the Karathen to the battle of Atlantis*
