As Aquaman and Zatanna took off in the water, four guards followed after them. Aquaman looked back, cursing under his breath. Their suits were capable of deep sea diving. Aquaman turned around and set off a spell.
"Σειρήνα τρίδυμα!" A bright yellow glow formed three separate blobs. The blobs slowly formed into three beautiful, scary looking Mermaids. Each had beautiful figures. One had long flowing red hair with a green scaled tail. The second had a mid-length wavy blonde hair, with a purple scaled tail. The last had short blue curls that reached above her shoulders, and an orange scaled tail. Aquaman conjured up another spell for the last large guard. "Σειρήνα Μητέρα". A last white glow formed, a large blob forming into a beautiful mermaid. Her hair long and silky raven strips most held up in a curly bun, and several long locks flowing down. Several pearls decorated her bun. She had a white sparkly scaled tail. She held in right arm a harp.
The guards stopped, each stunned. The raven haired maiden brought her left hand to the harp strings and gently caressed her fingers down the strings, playing a tune. She brought her hand up again, and then harshly brought it down. The three sirens all let out a screech, hitting the guard's ears painfully. As the guards were distracted by the screech, each maiden swam up to each guard. They brought their lips close to their ears, playing a soft melody. They swam around the guard lustfully. The guards were soon enough entranced to their beauty.
"That'll keep them occupied for a bit." Aquaman huffed out. "I learned that one from Kaldur'am." From below he heard Zatanna giggled. He chuckled.
"Now Zatanna, as soon as you slip through the gates, you have to be extra quiet and careful. I don't know if they keep the creatures free roam or in cages. You think you can conjure up a spell where they can't sense you?"
Zatanna nodded. "But it won't last for long. The spell depletes quite a lot of my energy to make me practically invisible to where they can't sense my heart beat, but it lasts only for five minutes at the max. After that I can't conjure up a spell for another fifteen minutes."
"This bubble will only last until it hits the surface. I'll give you a fast boost so you can make it there faster." Aquaman said.
As they both swam to the water gates, Aquaman took notice at how huge the gates are and at how small the spaces between each bar were as well. No muscular man can get through here, only a mere child can.
"Get the spell ready." He said.
She nodded and began her spell. "elbisivni em ekam, traeh ym teiuq!" she said. The spell kicked into effect, making her totally disappear.
Aquaman nodded and gently pushed the bubble between the bars. The bubble squeezed, but didn't burst. 'Come on.' He thought to himself. After one last push, she slipped through successfully. He held his hand on the bubble.
"Τυλίξτε τον κύκλο!" he said, as his hand glowed and gave out a huge blast wind, making the bubble fly off.
"Good luck little one." He prayed.
As Zatanna flew off into the depths of the gates, she breathed in and out very quietly. Even when the spell made her totally invisible, it didn't silence all of her noises. She looked around and observed lanterns hung from above and below. The lights were dimmed. 'Waterproof lanterns huh' she thought to herself.
As she made her way down the large tunnel she soon saw the creatures, fortunately for her they were caged after all. She started to panic as soon as she reached the end. 'Oh no! Don't tell me this is the end!' she panicked. She looked around and searched for an opening…something to get her to the surface before time ran out. She glanced at her watch. Two minutes. She then suddenly heard a noise coming from one of the cages. She turned towards the cage, seeing a large sea turtle. The bars on the cage started to close up slowly. Zatanna saw this as an opportunity. 'Can't do much here. Might as well dive on in.' she said to herself. She used the wall as a launching pad and pushed herself to the cage, successfully slipping through before it sealed up on her.
Lights from the top and bottom edges flashed on. She quickly looked around to find a hiding spot, seeing a large rock on the bottom with a hole in it. She swam to it and slipped in. she glanced at herself to see the spell wearing off. A bright flash of light came from all sides of the cage, each steel side turning translucent. She covered her eyes, being used to the dark depths of the sea. Her eyes adjusted to see that she was in a room filled with a lot of scientists. She covered her mouth to stop herself from letting out a gasp. 'They're killing these poor creatures! Just what are they getting at?' she looked around in the room. She saw some experimenting on creatures. She spotted a sea lion trapped in a container. She saw them shooting the poor thing with a laser, and she saw the poor sea lion crossing back and forth from its sea lion form to an actual lion. 'Time to get some evidence.' She said as she grabbed the device Batman handed to her earlier. She found the recording option and zoomed in at the sea lion, seeing its poor face contorted in pain. She zoomed out and did a quick sweep of the area. 'Hang in there guys, we'll get you outta there soon enough.'
"Drain the water!" one of them yelled. A siren rang from above. Zatanna looked at the bottom of the cage, where holes were forming. The rush of the water passed her, strong currents flowing down the drains. She held onto the walls to avoid being sucked along with the currents. As all the water drained, the bubble as promised disappeared. The sea turtle sensing that something bad is happening went back into its shell. The drains at the bottom closed up, but more appeared on the walls.
'At least it's large enough for me to climb through.' She said to herself. She glanced back at her watch. She pressed a few buttons. The face says fifteen minutes, counting down. She pressed another button to set it on vibrate. 'Fifteen minutes seems like forever now that I think about It.' she shook her head. 'I shouldn't think about this! The others need me.' she looked back at her body, the spell wore off. She looked behind her to the other opening of the cave. She saw a door! Great! Now to get to it is the problem. How?
Zatanna bit down on her lower lip. She looked through the device. 'Come on, Come on! There has to be something in here to get me outta here.' she scrolled down the list of options. An option made her stop and re-read it again. 'Virus type: 2662?' she pressed the screen. The screen glowed the selection she chose as it switched to another screen. She read it. 'Point at designated target and fire.' she shrugged her shoulders. She did as the directions told her to do and pointed carefully through one of the holes at the other side of the room towards a large set of computers. She aimed carefully and steady, moments as it felt like forever for the right moment passed as she pressed the button on the screen to fire off. She saw a very itsy bitsy spider flew towards the designated area.
The spider landed on a keyboard. She watched it climb off and make its way into the computer through a jack mounted on the desk. Zatanna looked at the screen to see it count off. five, four, three, two, one.
BOOM!
An explosion set off from where she shot. She blinked in awe. That surely….surprised her. She snapped out of it and looked at the door behind her. All of them were running towards the explosion, trying to put it off.
"What the hell? Marcous! I told you not to run protocol 4563! Vivian did that last time and the exact same thing happened! It overloads the system!" one of them yelled.
"The hell man! I didn't do it! Sheila was on it last!" Marcous fired back.
"Fuck you I wasn't!"
"WILL ALL OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP AND PUT OUT THE FIRE ALREADY?"
Zatanna used the chance to escape. She ran towards the hole, and using what she trained in track, jumping through all the hurtles. she jumped and in her correct form slipped through the hole easily without hitting her foot on any edge. She landed and ran towards the door, successfully getting out. She sighed as she got out of range.
"Longest seven minutes ever." she huffed out as she ran down the halls.
