Chapter 7 of Deadly Sea's Deepen Secret
Aquen Vs. Marucho, and Stacia's capture
Aquen's P.O.V
"Time for the ultimate challenge, Marucho. Don't bore me." I said.
"Gate card, set." I said, throwing my gate card.
"Bakugan, Brawl. Stand by for battle Aquos Mutant Elfin." I called rolling my Bakugan.
"Time to get this little freak show started." He called.
"Bakugan Brawl. Aquos Akwimos, stand." Marucho called.
"Cool is the rule, dude." Akwimos said.
"What a pathetic intro, ability activate, Twisting Sphere." I called, "This ability lets Elfin render other abilities useless. And that Elfin can attack directly and the battle will be lost to one that has low G-Power." I added.
"Ability activate Ice Mirage." Marucho called.
Elfin was covered in ice and couldn't move.
"How's that." Marucho called.
"That was smart of you Marucho, but isn't there something you should know." I asked.
Marucho thought and came up with nothing.
"Of course, I'll show you. Gate card open, Triple Battle. Bakugan Brawl, Aquos Tsunami Sirenoid, stand." I called.
"Ability activate, Siren Song. This ability lets the opponent's Bakugan get drawn to the lovely song from my Bakugan." I added.
As Sirenoid sang her song, Akwimos turned back to a sphere and went back to Marucho.
The battle ended as me as its victor.
"I… lost." Marucho weakly said. He fell to his knees.
"Yes, but it was one lost Marucho." I said.
He looked up to me. I was towering over him…
"You see, many people have losses. And yet I still need to meet my challenge. But if one is stronger then I. I will work toward my limits to defeat them. But I always have my friends and allies to help and encourage me to work my best. Your wars and battles are nothing compared to ours. Yet we think it's best for you to have those wars and battles. To teach you to plan out a strategy and to take responsibility. We take full responsibility when an Elder or one our allies have fallen. We blame it upon ourselves. Since we were the ones who lost them in the first place." I said.
When Marucho was about to speak, I heard my name being called.
"Master Aquen." Called a boy with blue hair. He was running towards us.
"Leon, what are you doing here?" I asked. Then I remembered that I was expecting him and Stacia.
He came up to us, heavy breathing, "Master Aquen… Stacia's… been captured… on our way here." He said trying to catch his breath.
"What." I said.
I ran to where Leon came from.
Leon came to my side.
"We were attacked on Eldis (El-dis), on our side of Aquos. To prevent the damage we left and to find that it was Ithon. He took Stacia, I tried to stop them, but she said to come get you." Leon said.
"We need to find her, where is she." I asked.
"Best chance, near Ithaca by now." Leon said.
Ithaca was Ithon's home planet. An Aquos planet his wife is on. Her name is also Ithaca.
"Stay here and tell my brothers and sisters what's going on." I demanded.
"Yes sir." Leon said.
"Make sure to protect them with your life." I added as he left to meet up with them.
I brought out a card in my pocket that teleported me to everywhere in the universes. Even others for that matter.
I held it against my head and said, "To Ithaca."
I was then transported.
I landed on a planet covered in waves.
The kingdom that Ithaca runs is below the surface of the white caps. In shorter definition it was below the endless ocean.
"So, here's the Ithaki Ocean, one of the 5, so below must be the city of Ithaki." I said. With that I dived under.
I was able to hold my breath under at least a couple hours. Longer then Edict, Clair, and Alrie. Ven can hold her breath for, say, 8 days or so. But Rage and Leonidas can hold their breath forever if they need to.
I looked below me and saw the city.
'Just a few more feet.' I thought. I landed in the bubble that surrounded the city, giving it oxygen.
I gasped in the air. I looked around. I heard a shout.
"I don't want the pathetic girl. The boy was the one I was after." Ithaca screamed.
I can't stand a female's scream.
"Stacia must be the one she was talking about." I said.
I ran up the long paths of the city's streets. Ithaca was actually the kingdom, whom I finally made it.
"The ocean I must be below has to be the Hitachi Ocean." I said. That was the ocean on this planet that had a never ending storm.
"Just my luck. This ocean must protect the city's kingdom, let alone the Elder Shield made of water, that's strong enough to stop me, but no one else. I need the most peaceful ocean to rise up to, that would be the north ocean, the Keota Ocean." I said to myself.
I heard a shout, this time I recognized it.
"Stacia." I said.
"So, the Aquos master finally came. I'm not surprised." Said a voice.
I closed my eyes and opened them again.
"What do you want, Hitachi?" I asked, not bothering to turn around.
"You out of the city of Ithaca, what else. I'm the guard and life of the Hitachi Ocean, Hitachi Key, and the Aquos Warrior of Central Ithaca." Hitachi introduced.
"Sorry Mr. Key, but I'm in a rush, to get to my friend before she becomes cold and heartless like your leader, but she'll have no pulse running through her heart, like you leader will become, if she won't give me back my friend in one piece." I threatened.
I turned around to see no one.
'Mirages.' I thought.
I kept running up the endless street to the castle.
I peeked in the main doors, and crept inside, without being detected. "Security in this place is horrible." I said. I kept running, trying not to make a sound with my boots tapping against the floor.
The screams I heard from Ithaca were getting louder. I was now in the main room, which is also where her throne is.
Ithaca was a blue skinned woman, with a crown of Sapphire and Garnet. Her headdress was a simple light blue and gold, that covered her ocean green hair. Her heels were yellow, which was unusual.
The 5 guards of the five oceans above where kneeling down before her, Ithaki, Hitachi, Keota, Jury, and Forint, and beside her was a much bigger throne, that held Ithon wearing a crown of gold and Rubies and Emeralds. He was a grayish-blue skinned man, with armor of gold and light blue lighting. He had dusk blue hair. He sat move less.
"I told, Leon was the one I wanted," Ithaca screamed at her fiancée.
"She was the easiest to get. Besides the Elders care for their teammates. One falls, they will be saddened at their loss." Ithon said in his deep ever raging voice.
"Whatever." She sighed angrily.
"Ma'am." Forint spoke up. He was the fifth, and far away from the others. He was their psychic. He was able to tell if an enemy approaches or is about to attack. He was their defense. His ocean is covered in calm waves, but a storm comes once and a while. His ocean was the deadliest, making it impossible to get through. It might be calm, but the storms come unexpectedly.
"Yes Forint, sense anything?" Ithaca calmly said, even bursting in fury.
"Yes, a powerful enemy… watching us carefully, he's staring from the main door." He said.
That was my cue. I ran into the room while they were still confused.
"You want me, try to catch me." I yelled. Then I ran to the other opened door, to the place where they keep prisoners.
"Jury, Keota, Hitachi, go after him." Ithaca commanded when she snapped out of Forint's sense.
'Now to find Stacia and get the heck out of here.' I thought.
Aquen's P.O.V
I made it to Ithaca, but I got a run in with Jury, the female of the whole group of five, and the most gullible. I was able to trick her, but was cornered by Keota, the calmest and the most trustworthy, he was a Aquos Warrior from Eldis in disguise. Keota and I walked around the castle, looking for Stacia, when Hitachi came and threatened us with Stacia. I have to brawl to save her, and yet, my knowledge of Ithaca's castle isn't on my side, since the remodeling of the whole kingdom took place before they attacked and took Stacia. Now what will I do? BRawl and save Stacia, or flee and get help, "Well it's obviously the first choice." But with the help of Stacia, Keota, and my brother-in-law, I'll get out of this.
