Chapter - 29: Attack of the Deep Sea Kraken
Woooeeeeee! That was a nice chapter back there, now it's time for a sea adventure guys. For you Pirates of the Caribbean fans, this event will now take place in the ocean waters. I'm also trying to create lots of OC's and enemies and sooner or later make a big chapter where all of the antagonists fight once more. It reminds of that TV series regular show because that episode 'Exit 9b' was really funny and the antagonists came up in the freeway portal along with the cool action taking place on that episode and not only that it was an all out battle. Once again I never own anything and all the shows, TV series, Games, movies, and novels belong to their respective creators and owners. Now on with the show. Leave your comments and ideas once again Ladies and Gentlemen.
After the battle of the 2facilities the Sorachi family went back to the Mizukage and reported that it was done. The remaining survivors guarding the facility consisting of wounded and dead were taken back to regroup and another force would relieve and take their places once more. Nagato, Borei and Miyuki explained all the details how they handled the mission to Miss Terumi and she was happy to say that it went great and relieved that the 2facilities area was still intact along with the scientists. Miss Terumi dismissed the family and the family went back to Sea Country on which the other Yugure members were relaxing after a long day. Things were fine and okay for now.
(1 week later in the open ocean)
A fishing boat in the middle of the sea were fishing out for food supply to the sea country were enjoying the day under the sun. The sea was also calm as of the moment and the weather was fine altogether.
"Another day in the ocean!" Ohyo said as he fished his line to the sea water.
"Yeah! I hope this time there's gonna be big ones this month." said Nijimi.
The two fishermen were in a motorboat while Doshaburi was in the mainland as of the moment because he was the cart delivery boy and Ohyo and Nijimi were the ones who knew the ocean sea better.
The two fishermen were also seeing ships coming in and out away from the harbour because destroyers guard the islands and the waters in every security. The two were passed by a destroyer sailing towards the more open horizon and as the two got a lot of fish from their motorboat they saw the destroyer # 7 been attacked by a giant Octopus with long tentacles coming out of the water and the tentacles swooped in and started to destroy the destroyer.
As the two fishermen saw the incident the were wide eyed and shocked.
"What in the world is that?" Ohyo said as he drop his fishing line.
"It can't be! I thought it's a myth!" Nijimi said as he lowers his fishing line.
The monster use it's tentacles and grabbed every person on the ship and destroying parts of it around it and the persons were in the air grabbed by the tentacles were screaming help and get them off as they were flailing and struggling to get free. The navy personnel tried fighting back with their weapons and jutsus but the beast was too strong and resilient and everyone was affected.
"What do you mean it's a myth?" Ohyo asked confusingly.
"A Giant Octopus or squid like creature that attacks boats and huge ships that thing is a deep sea kraken!" Nijimi said wide eyed.
"No kidding? Is that for real!" Ohyo said.
"Yeah! No doubt about it either! The Kraken was a deep sea dweller who lives in the deepest parts of the sea and oceans and rarely attacks big ships or prey. some people say a sea monster but legend has it that Kraken's rarely come up in the pitch black darkness of the depths and attack anything big that stands in their way ." Nijimi said explaining.
This was now serious "Oh man what are we gonna do?" Ohyo asked.
"Quick! Take a picture and I'll use a video camera to capture this. It's rare footage for anyone to see a legend like this and this one is real!" Nijimi said.
"Is this a good idea?" Ohyo said and looking at the kraken attacking the destroyer.
"Of course! With this proof and images we can show it to the leader, he will know what to do." Nijimi said.
"Okay, but let's keep our distance, I don't wanna die eaten up by a Sea Monster!" Ohyo said taking photos.
"Hehehehehe, Don't worry we're not gonna die." Nijimi said taking a video on the attack.
The now identified deep sea Kraken now continue to wreak havoc on Destroyer 7 and the crews were desperate on how to deal with this adversary, before they could react, Two larger tentacles appeared out in the right side of the ship and then fell down like a domino tower with the men underneath it.
"Abandon ship!" the captain said and everyone that was unharmed or less unaffected get to the lifeboats and get out!
The tentacles fell down and smashed everything and then split the destroyer apart in two some of the men already got to the boats and went down others got trapped and slide down to the split boat and into the Kraken's maw while others jump away to safety, overall only 8 boats were intact and about 110 people out of 250 including the captain got out of the destruction alive.
"Fall back to the harbour! Get out of here!" he ordered and the remainder of his men mushed and plowed forward to the direction and they stick together not looking back.
Ohyo and Nijimi also didn't waste time and started their rowboat and head back to the harbour to warn everyone about the news!
(Sea Country Harbour)
Doshaburi was sitting and relaxing in a restaurant and food bar where it was right next to the docks along with his caravan. He was waiting outside after he finished eating a meal and started to look for his two teammates. No sooner he saw them and was quite surprise they were running towards him.
"I'm glad you two are back what's going on?" Doshaburi asked.
"No time to explain right now! We got another situation and we got more news as well we need to get to Borei as quick as possible!" Nijimi said in a fast pace.
"Yeah it's something big and serious and it's an emergency!" Ohyo added.
Doshaburi sighed and nodded "Alright let's go!" the three then mounted up in the caravan and Doshaburi ordered the horses to hightail faster to the Yugure Organization's HQ.
(Yugure HQ)
Everyone was gathering together in the HQ and was having their free time. Sasori was building other machines. Ryota, Jujihoka and Seiichi were practicing their Dark bird powers. Nagato, Isaribi, Yukimaru , Chojuro, Guren and Gozu were watching a movie. Haku and Pakura were in another room having their alone time. Zabuza was reading a magazine. Misora, Karin and Miyuki were reading novels. Utakata was practicing jutsus with his student Hotaru. Yagura was meditating in his room. Itachi and Shisui were playing Shogi and Borei was in his office surveying the reports and situations.
The main door of the HQ was open by Nijimi as he and his teammates went in.
"Hey Nijimi, great to see you again." Zabuza said as he was the one who saw him in the front and he lowers his magazine down.
"Hey Zabuza great to see you too. I got emergency news right now." Nijimi said panting "Where is Borei?" he said.
"Office." Zabuza said pointing at the left side.
The trio rush in to Borei and explain the news. Borei was scanning reports and writing paperwork in his desk and his office door opens revealing the trio going inside.
Borei looked up "Ah, Nijimi. What can I do for you?" Borei asked.
Nijimi looked at Borei with a serious look in his face and said " We got a huge problem at the sea Borei."
Borei was wide eyed and calmed but allowed Nijimi to explain " What happened?" Borei asked.
Nijimi explained the details in the open waters and Borei sounded a meeting to the group.
15 minutes later the Yugure organization gather themselves in a round table and began to discuss the situation going on right now.
"It looks like we have another situation in our hands and this time it's an attack of our ships and the enemy is a powerful monster of the deep sea." Borei announced and everyone seems curious or in wonder what kind of entity is attacking this time.
"Nijimi and Ohyo were the witnesses to the event that happened. They will explain the information to you all." Borei then shifted the attention to the duo.
Nijimi decided to speak first "Alright, me and Ohyo were fishing just outside the harbour and into the open ocean with our motorboat. The Destroyer 7 came under attack by a giant sea monster octopus called the Kraken." he said with fear.
The Other Yugure members were wide-eyed, shocked, curious, scared or even intrigued.
"What!"
"Really?"
"How could this be?"
"I thought those were myths."
"How is that possible?"
"Freakin Unbelievable."
They all clamored and murmured even expressed, surprised and stunned.
"Make no mistake everyone. The images and video you all are about to see is unlike anything we have ever seen." Ohyo said as he lay down the photographs to the table and Nijimi put down the video recorded during the incident.
It showed a massive squid/octopus coming coming out of the water and raised its enormous tentacles to the air and attack Destroyer 7 killing the sailors and splitting the ship apart.
Everyone was in shock and awe.
"Whoa!"
"No way!
"I can't believe it!"
"That is so sick!"
"That thing is huge!"
"Leviathan class!"
Borei calmed everyone down and decided to speak up.
"I have no doubt that sea monster really did attacked and prowled through our waters in our territory. The only way to stop that beast is to kill it. That thing really is enormous and huge but we have to do something about it otherwise it will kill everything in its sight." Borei said and turned his head to Nijimi. "Thank you Nijimi and Ohyo for this information." he then looks to his group once more "Alright if anyone wants to hunt a Kraken we will be serving a nice feast of Giant Squid for this day!"
"YEAH!" Everyone cheered in joy.
(15 minutes later)
All of the Yugure members then decided to go and defeat the kraken because they wanted to show something. They pack their stuff and eventually they went to the harbour.
(Sea Country Harbour)
Borei decided to use his battleship the flagship Nagara alongside with 2 battleships Yashima and Kinugasa with no destroyer escorts. So it's up to the big ships this time to fight back the beast.
Borei relayed the instructions to the other captains in order how to trap the Kraken when the beast decides to attack the big ships. If the Kraken attacks in each one of the ships with it's grasp. The two ships must surround the victim ship and contain the monster from all sides and preventing it from escape and if the Kraken reveals itself up in the surface ready to attack, The ships break off and attack it from all sides. It was an ingenious plan but it would be worth it once the attack commences. Soon the battleships left the island in search for the kraken in the open waters of the ocean. The hunt was on!
(Open Waters)
The early morning attack of Destroyer 7 left the ship sunk hundreds of feet of water below the sea. The ship was literally split in two and according to the intel the beast was so gigantic and dark looking and can literally drag huge ships to the bottom abyss.
The 3 battleships were cruising in 27 knots in average formation. Nagara the flagship and along her sister ships Yashima on Nagara's left side and Kinugasa on Nagara's right side were steady in formation.
The objectives of the mission was clear use any means necessary to stop the sea monster. Bring it down!
As the fleet was cruising on the site where Destroyer 7 was destroyed the captains and crews in the 3 ships never let their guard down. Krakens were dangerous creatures that has the element of surprise in the water and nobody knows where will be beast attack in which direction they are coming from. Some of the sailors were afraid of the monster but would stand their ground, Others were brave and eager and will do whatever it takes to stop it. Overall everyone was tense but this was a high rank mission and it's their job to do it and get it done.
(Flagship Nagara)
The Yugure organization were in their battlestations and high alert including the mist and sea sailors aboard the flagship vessel.
Itachi and Shisui Uchiha were on the conning towers scanning the movement of the waves or any large ripples coming for their direction.
"To think that we are fighting one of the most rarest and mythological beings and entities in this world of all places." Itachi said to Shisui as he scans the waters with his binoculars and talking to his best friend at the same time.
Shisui allowed a smirk in his face "I know, and it's quite one of the rare opportunities we might be the first Uchiha's to actually venture out at sea and fight something out of the ordinary and hope to live to tell the tale." he said as he uses his binoculars to search for any unusual activity in a different direction opposite to Itachi.
Itachi nodded " If we can do something like that, then we would do our best capabilities for it." Itachi said with his smile.
Shisui nodded at his best friend's remark. He then heard a radio message "Command to Watchtower do you read me?" Borei said.
Shisui pick up the radio phone "This is Watchtower go ahead."
"Any sign of the movement of the monster?" Borei asked in the radio.
"Negative. The water waves are still calm and no sign of unusual activity of the moment. Over." Shisui replied back.
"Alright, Carry on with your duties. Report if there is anything unusual." Borei relayed the message.
Shisui nodded and replied to the radio "Understood." and he set the radio down and continue to watch.
With the other members some of them are outside the main deck and survey the water around them or below them because in any other situation, you never know something will appear in the water and pop out right in front of you.
Ryota, Jujihoka and Seiichi were flying over the overhead of the fleet and surveying and scouring the area for activity but sadly for them no luck so far.
"Anything Ryota?" Jujihoka asked as he use his black wings to soar the air.
"Nope. Nothing. No unusual activity here in this side." Ryota said.
"What about you son do you have something?" Ryota asked his son Seiichi.
Seiichi flowed over high and use his vision to watch the water and then made a U-turn and look to his father while in mid-air "Sorry Dad. None."
Ryota understood and sighed "Alright this area is done let's go to another one." he suggested.
Seiichi and Jujihoka nodded and the trio Onmoraki went to the next area.
With The two Jinchuuriki's Yagura and Utakata dive into the water with Yagura using in his perfect yet human half form to dive the underwater and Utakata along with his student Hotaru look in the other direction underwater.
"Anything Yagura?" Utakata asked while he was in his bubble along with Hotaru holding on to him.
"Nothing Utakata, Let's keep searching." Yagura said as the duo mist jinchuuriki search for other traces or clues.
Back on the ship, sailors were manning the guns and engineers were ready to fight any damages. Sasori was in the maintenance room telling the firefighters and other auxiliary personnel in standby and waiting. Sasori was reading a comic about machines and transformers series about metal and robots. He was also thinking about the mission at the same time "If the beast comes in here the personnel will make sure nothing would sink the Nagara." Sasori said as he smiled and turn another page of his comic " Awwwww he really did kill that one!" he smiled.
In the main deck outside, the rest of the Yugure members were sitting in chairs and table just outside in the entrance to the main hall.
They were worried and yet excited about this mission.
Nagato was talking with Ohyo, Nijimi and Doshaburi " So the Beast was like 50 foot long and it had very large tentacles huh?"
Nijimi nodded "Yup, if that thing would swarm us then it can really had the strength to drag us down under."
"I see." Nagato understood.
Zabuza was sitting in a chair relaxing and calm himself. ' If that thing would reach us up we are gonna trap the beast so it couldn't get out.' Zabuza thought to himself.
Haku and Pakura were in the sides watching the water underneath them.
"Are you ready to hunt a monster Pakura ?" Haku asked.
Pakura smirked " I sure am. If it goes well then we will have a large squid feast today." she said.
Haku scooted closer to her " Let's coordinate this time." and Haku put his hand on her shoulder.
Pakura nodded " Sure. I'm with you all the way." she then held her hand to his shoulder and give a sweet smile.
Back on the bridge with Borei and Miyuki.
"So far our scouts haven't seen any sign of movement." Miyuki said.
"Yeah, This beast can really hide itself from the nothingness." Borei complimented.
"I gotta say this quite a first time we really battle a monster." Miyuki said to her husband.
"Yeah the same for me in the water. If the Kraken can really surprise us then we have to make sure the lives on this vessel will not go down in vain." He said.
(2 hours later)
It was lunch time and everyone was gathering food to eat. Other shift members and sentries took the posts earlier after they had their early meal.
After everyone eats they were about to resume their posts again. But then suddenly a huge ripple heartbeat was heard by Borei and then a sound of the Ocean was like a howl below the depths. The Kraken has come.
Itachi and Shisui were eating their lunch in the conning tower and as they eat and survey the area they saw a huge wave ripple in the water and was heading straight for the Nagara.
Shisui put his food down and radioed to Borei "Captain we got a ripple in the water! Bearing 30 meters far ahead and closing in fast!"
With Borei as he received the news he nodded "Understood!" he then sounds the alarm to everyone "All hands man your battlestations! This is not a drill the beast has come!" he ordered.
Everyone in the Nagara went to their stations. Guns were at the ready, Main deck personnel in the ready and Engineer crew in the ready. Borei also issued the same order with other battleships, just in case.
Then out of the silence the tentacles slowly rise up from the ship's sides. Everyone in the surrounding stations were shocked that tentacles were rising to them and the beast was literally huge and dark brown. The guns were literally in point black range mark to the tentacles each one in their barrels.
"Keep it steady men!" Zabuza said.
The gunners composed themselves never making them losing their cool just to wait the signal given.
"Hold, Hold!" he said.
The tentacles kept on rising.
"Steady, Steady!" he said
" I think we've hold on firing long enough!" a sailor said
"FIRE!" he then give the order!
The secondary batteries of the battleship Nagara let loose their lead and ordnance and it target 8 tentacles and the beast screamed and roared at the pain and the tentacles slumped back down for now.
Everyone cheered! But it was not over yet.
"Don't let your guard down everybody!" Borei ordered.
"Be prepared if it's back!" he said.
10 minutes passed and then another rock startled the ship and the crew.
The force knock some the crew falling down and one of them said "Not good."
Then without warning the tentacles rise up and then pierce through the hull of the Nagara.
There were screams inside and the upper hull was breached the tentacles ripped through the barriers and began snatching the crew.
"Stand your ground everyone!" Borei said. " Kinugasa and Yashima contain the beast now!" he ordered the other battleships.
"Copy!" Kinugasa's captain said
"We're on our way!" Yashima's captain said.
The two ships went to the sides of the Nagara and see the tentacles attacking and wreaking havoc to the decks.
Sailors were taken out of the fight others were standing and holding their ground. Cannons were fired, personnel on the deck were trying to slice, hack and shoot the tentacles with their weapons and jutsus. The gunners turn their secondary guns and fired point blank range again to weaken tentacles strength but this time it had little effect because the Kraken was now frenzied but still they keep on doing their job.
The engineers below led by Sasori was maintaining the ship afloat to make sure it would not sink, some of the engineers lower the valves and turn off the steam to prevent the ship from capsizing while others use Earth style jutsu to help the ship keep balanced.
"Flooded has breached in compartments 5 & 6! And fires spread in the 2nd compartment! Engineers maintain the damage." Sasori said as he use the main controls to stabilize the main core and his puppet strings to coordinate other cooperations.
"Yes sir!" an engineer said.
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!" an engineer unleashed a jutsu and seal the breach that the tentacle penetrated a hole and resealed it.
Firefighters contain the engine flames "Water Style;-"
"Wild Water Wave!"
"Water Bullets!"
6 firefighter crews use the water jutsus and shut down the flames cooling the engines.
(On the deck)
Main deck fighters were armed with spears, javelins and battle axes to stab and slash the tentacles of the kraken imbued with fire and lightning style natures.
Two men were grabbed by the tentacles and the other sailors rescued them by using Earth Style: Earth Spears augmented by Fire Style: Dragon Flame or Lightning Style: Emotionless Wave. They were rescued from the grasps of the tentacles.
Other sailors were getting the wounded out of the carnage and help them recover. Multiple voices rang through the air.
"I need some help over here!"
"Look out!"
"Watch out!"
"Move that gear up!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Don't stop!"
"I gotcha!"
"Need some help here!"
Some sailors jump to the kraken tentacles and actually try to chop it like a lumberjack others jump out of the way unleashing barrages of jutsus.
Zabuza cleaved a tentacle releasing two sailors using the Executioner's Blade.
Pakura just saved Haku once more as Haku shielded her with Ice Style: Freezing Dome Shield but ended up grabbed as the victim and was saved by his girlfriend using Scorch Style: Super Steam kill.
Guren use her Crystal Style: Crystal spike wall to create a barricade for other sailors to attack with more space. Yukimaru along with Gozu used Water and Earth Style jutsus to form a bridgehead.
Ryota, Seiichi and Jujihoka were in the air out of harm's way from the tentacles they use Fire Style Jutsus like Dragon Flame Bomb, Flamethrower and Searing Migraine on the water line.
Another tentacle rose up and wrapped the conning tower on which Itachi and Shisui were stationed the tentacle gripped it tight to bring the tower down but Shisui and Itachi in the upper level defended themselves and draw their swords out and engulf it with Fire Nature chakra. They hacked the tentacle and it released the grip.
Miyuki, Karin and Misora retreated the wounded and heavily injured personnel to the lower deck which was miraculously was still not harmed by the Kraken's Tentacles. Miyuki use Water clones and conduct rescue operations to the wounded while Karin and Misora use their healing chakra powers to restore the injured as best they could.
Borei and Nagato use plasma clones all around the ship and then all of them unleashed multiple jutsus to stop the beast from clinging on the Nagara. As of this moment now Borei ordered the two captains from Yashima and Kinugasa to fire Harpoon spear hooks to the beast and restrained it but it all missed!.
The beast tried to use the two heavy falling tentacles to snap the ship in half but Borei and Nagato used Lightning Style: False Darkness to the two tentacles and electrify them like a lightning rod.
The Beast retracted the tentacles down and one by one the beast then suddenly decides to reveal itself. The beast's maw was gaping with hundreds of sharp teeth and lined with 4-6 circular rows inside its maw. The beast was revealed and roared its might along its foul stench of breath was disgusting!
"It has revealed himself." said Shisui
"It has come to this." said Zabuza
"It's time now." Borei said.
"It's time to finish this." Nagato said.
The Kraken in it's revealed form attack with all of its tentacles out of the water and began to lunge for the sailors aboard the Nagara. But before it made contact. Another attack happened. The Kraken was hit by tailed beast bombs on the top of its squid head which was caused none other than Yagura and Utakata. The two jinchuuriki were in perfectly controlled version 2 forms.
Yagura came in from the left and unleashed Coral palms causing crippling blows to the monster's head and Utakata along with Hotaru launched Acid scattering and Water style: Wild Water Wave. these attacks crippled the kraken and stopped it from attacking. Then the Onmoraki clan consisting of Ryota, Jujihoka and Seiichi attacked next with Fire bombs to scorch it up.
The two captains ordered to fire grappling hooks once again after they retracted it from their first shot attack and fired them right head on once more and they grappled the arms making the kraken unmovable and defenseless. With no way for protection Everyone attack all out with full power killing the Kraken once and for all hitting it dead center and all what's left of it was a unmovable giant dead cephalopod ready to be served.
It was finally done and everyone cheered the beast was dead and it was no more. The trio consisting of Nijimi, Ohyo and Doshaburi climbed on to the dead beast and wrapped the hooks to it and the three battleships towed the dead beast back to the country and have a feast. Today's feast is Kraken Sushi!
There you go folks the Kraken is dead and gone! Another chapter will be on next time and into different or anything unlike ever seen ever before. Stay tune for the next chapter.
