The Master of the Seas
2:05 A.M. Oil Rig off the North China Sea,
It was nearly pitch black with heavy dark stormy clouds above the raging seas. The only source of light was the oil rig up in flames. The sea rage madly in all directions. The oil crew workers raced to the flight deck in hopes to take the helicopter to escape. An emergency relief ship and some local fishing boats were on the way to try and lend what help they could if any.
The crew workers made it to the flight deck but many of the workers were still trapped below. Some burned alive, others were screaming and pounding on the doors trying to get them open as they suffocated to death. The crew were coughing, their vision obscured by the rising smoke. But a few of them saw the lights from the rescue ships. On top of the flaming radio tower the Aquatic Man hung in the middle glaring down at the men with his glowing red eyes that were illuminated by the flames.
The men cheered thinking they were going to be saved but a red beam broke from the clouds cutting the local fishing boats in two. A red blue blur could be seen flying around sinking the ships preventing them from helping. The red blue blur flew at high speeds toward the oil rig shooting up along with a water geyser stopping above the flight deck for all to see. The men looked on with sudden fear and all hope to be saved gone. For the mysterious figure that hovered above them was no hero, but something far more sinister.
The mysterious figured wore black combat boots with red laces, navy blue mechanic overalls, with a dark red belt with a matte yellow buckle. He had a yellow pocket on the left hand side with a red double B symbol with a line going through it stitched into the pocket. A red cape, and the creepy red mask with the stout loose like muzzle with the shoe strings looped through descending down the mask.
He looked down at them like a boy with a magnifying glass over a ant hill. One crew worker reached out to the figure. He fires his heat vision at the radio tower destroying its support beams causing the tower to capesize. Brandon smiles sinisterly under the mask watching the tower off on top of the humans he considered insects. As the tower fell the Aquatic Man raced to the tip leaping up then falling down toward Brandon.
"There you are" Brandon thought to himself getting a good look at his opponent. The Aquatic Man had greenish yellow rubber wet fish like skin, in the image of a man, with fin protruding from the elbows. He had short raven colored hair, fishnet shirt, and shredded dark brown khaki shorts with shredded edges. He was slim but ripped and muscular. The Aquatic Man crashed into Brandon.
The two tumble through the air tossing and turning struggling against one another. The Aquatic Man and Brandon crash into the side of the relief ship. Brandon grew hot with anger giving the Aquatic Man a taste of the back of his fists. Aquatic Man flew back, Brandon kicked off the ship causing it to sway back and forth in the waves, while he soared high into the air after the Aquatic Man grabbing him by the left ankle tossing him back into the ship making another dent in the side of the ship. The ship swayed violently back and forth. The crew losing balance stumbling and crashing into things. The Aquatic Man freed himself from the dent jumping and running around the ship with Brandon flying around strafing the ship with his heat vision.
For the crew, all they knew among the swaying ship was the sounds of someone yelling in rage could be heard. Red beams cut into the through the ship. Some of the crew got caught by the heat vision and were incinerated on the spot screaming as they died in mortal agony. Then suddenly everything got quite, then Brandon and the Aquatic Man flew through the ship, between the force at which they struck the ship and the damage caused by the heat vision the ship split in two, then capsized pulling the remaining sailors down to there watery grave.
Brandon and the Aquatic Man had their hands locked, eyes glaring at one another. Brandon was becoming furious, he never been challenged by anyone like this before. Who was this mutated half-human, half-fish like creature to someone like him? Someone Superior. The Aquatic Man feet were sliding across the surface of the seas he muttered something in another language that Brandon didn't understand. Sounded chinese maybe korean. Brandon couldn't tell nor did he care he just wanted this fish man dead.
"DIE!" Brandon yelled out firing another heat vision. The Aquatic Man dipped down missing the heat vision pulling Brandon causing him to close his eyes for a moment but that moment was all the Aquatic Man needed to head butt Brandon freeing his right hand from Brandon then gave him a hard right across the face causing him to fly back. Brandon used his flying ability to regain his balance sliding across the surface of the water. That punch hurt, next to cutting his hand on the ship this was the first time Brandon could remember what it felt like to be physically hurt and he become lost in unspeakable rage.
Brandon flew in a rage at the Aquatic Man who fell into the water. Brandon could see his red eyes through the dark waters. Brandon became even more insulted and offended when he realized under water, the Aquatic Man could swim as fast as he could fly. They glared at one another through the veil of water. Brandon yelled out again firing his heat vision at the water causing a trail of steam to rise to the surface.
Brandon was growing increasingly frustrated that this was taking so long for him...HIM, to kill someone. Brandon couldn't keep his eyes open a second more closing them but in that moment Aquatic Man broke the surface of the water grabbing Brandon by the heels, Brandon quickly took in a deep breath before getting pulled under the water. Under the dark murky seas the Aquatic Man swam at near mach one speeds dragging Brandon deep into the murky abyss.
The sea floor was a hellish looking landscape, full of sand and jagget rock pillar like formations. With a fast under water current, a sea within the sea, leading to a darker abyss. The Aquatic Man tossed Brandon into the sandy ground. Brandon stood up not appreciating the irony of the Aquatic Man floating above him like he did to the humans. The Aquatic Man floats to the ground glaring at the now exhausted Brandon.
"Evolution always wins" the Aquatic Man spoke in a broken english with a korean accent to it.
