A/N: Finally! Here's the newest chapter! Sorry this chapter is so short. Anyway, enjoy!
Francis set out to sea to find his missing test subject. It was risky. He faced the danger of storms, other tugs, and in some areas, sea serpents, but the sea serpents wouldn't pose much of a threat because they typically avoid humans, but storms, and tugs... those were the real threats. He was defenseless, a sitting duck at the mercy of those bloodthirsty monsters.
He had to be careful. The smallest drop of blood would attract not only sharks, but also any tug in the area. It was unlikely a tug would wander so close to human habitation, except for the Z-Stacks. He shuddered at the thought of being ripped apart by such a powerful, and bloodthirsty monster. He leaned to watch for the signs, but even if he did see them, it would be unlikely he would be able to escape in time. Tugs were lightning fast, but their strong point was the element of surprise. However, there was nowhere to hide to set up an ambush on the open ocean, giving him the advantage. There was no source of food for a tug around, so he shouldn't encounter any around here, unless it was by pure misfortune. One thing was for sure, this trip could be the death of him. He was literally walking into the lion's den.
A/N: I'll try to have the next chapter up quicker than this one. I'll try to have the next chapter for TUGS Origins up as soon as possible. Until then, see you later!
