List of oneshots part 4
chapter 44
A man who controls all the water in the world.
xxxxxxxxxxxx
-Earth, Australia, Sydney-
On the continent itself, it was currently enduring one of many heat waves. All the while some dingos were attacking a kangaroo, with said roo kicking the wild dog to death.
And on a tree is where a koala was climbing with its babies.
"Nom. Nom. Nom."
And a wallaby was...doing whatever it is wallabies do.
But for some reason...something was missing. Something very important.
And what was it you were maybe asking? Simple.
The camera zooms far up to the stratosphere as we see...the oceans and lakes were gone, not a single drop was left in any of the large open areas, not even ice from the poles could be seen.
Overall...this planet is dying from lack of water.
But you may be asking, how did this happen? Well...just shut the fuck up and let the story continue.
And let us go over to the main capital of Australia which looked deserted as the entire bay was devoid of water...except for the large steel dome in the center of the city with the logo 'WW' on it.
This was Water World, and no it wasn't a museum for the bad film, no, this was the biggest company on the planet which holds a very rare substance within its walls.
Inside it, we find numerous people working around large pipes that went all around the walls and space, all of them looked very parched and dehydrated as the pipes seemed to roar like a tsunami. They were making sure the pipes were working, were filtering the water, and making sure there were no leaks.
You heard right, water.
The entire facility had water, the rarest substance in the world, worth all the gold in the universe and the only place to find it.
Which makes it the most influential place on the planet, however the CEO of this place was the most mysterious person on the planet due to rumors of sorcery or aliens running about.
That and he or she rarely leaves their office.
Speaking of which, that's where we find ourselves now. Inside the dark and very cold room, we find a person...sleeping on their table.
"Zzzzz."
Since they had plenty of time they figured it was earned. As they slept, we heard some footsteps coming from the doors and someone slipped inside.
"Sir."
"Zzzzz."
"Sir." said the voice while sounding feminine.
"Zzzzz."
"Sir wake up."
"Zzzz."
The figure sighed before walking towards the person and whispered in their ear. "There's a spider on your nose."
"AHH! SPIDER!" They screamed in horror while getting up and hid under the table.
"Morning sir." said a tall pale skinned woman with long brown hair, blue eyes, a G cup chest and a wide ass, wearing a white business suit with gold buttons and long black high heels. "Sleep well?"
"I was until you woke me up."
She nodded before saying. "I have today's agenda for you to look at."
"Fine, just tell me over breakfast."
"It's morning in New York, it's ten at night here."
"Then why did you say good morning then!?"
"To tease you." She chuckled. "But come on out, your suit will get wrinkled if you stay there."
"Ugh! Fine." They groaned while getting up and were shown to be a man with short red hair, a feminine build, and wearing a set of black pajamas.
She sighed. "Did you forget to go home yesterday?"
"Well, I decided to live here." He shrugged. "This is my job and I enjoy the quiet."
"..." She sighed. "Next time, wear a suit or something."
"But those are stuffy."
"Just wear them."
"Ok ok." He sighed. "So let's see what's on the agenda."
"Yes sir." She nodded while handing him a folder. "The first order of business is the serious threat made by the USA and Russia against Water World."
"Oh yeah?" he took it with a frown. "Did you get their response when I made it clear what my demands were?"
"Yes, and I quote 'You are a terrorist and we will not make demands with a person with no allegiances with the UN.' They did not even recall how you are actually part of the UN."
"I gave them both a simple solution, and they have to call me a terrorist? Make that breakfast to go, I need to make a call."
"French toast or hot pockets?"
"Surprise me." He said while walking away.
"Don't forget about the suit."
"Still not going to do it."
She sighed. 'Every single day.'
(Later)
We now find the man in a suit, much to his annoyance, sitting down with a computer screen in front of him while he munches on a hot pocket.
'I should've had the french toast.' he thought while two screens appeared on the monitor. "Patch me through to Russia and the US."
The screens turned on while showing some obscured faces.
"Hello there gentlemen. A fine day I take it?"
"You are on a restricted frequency-" The left screen said while showing a star on it.
"No, this is a private chat." He deadpanned. "As for who I am, did you really forget the name Dan McGreg? CEO of Water World and part of the UN?"
"You are no CEO, you are filth!" spat the right screen with a sickle on it.
"It's all legal." He said calmly. "And I was fair with my prices for my wares. One cent of your currency for water, yet you label me a terrorist? Are you that childish?"
"This isn't a matter of paying you, it's a matter of you taking away a resource that the entire world needs!" spat the left screen. "You've deprived every person of water for a week! Many lives have died because of you!"
"Oh? Last I checked my payment was simple." frowned the man. "Unlike some people, I'm not holding it to rule people, I'm holding it so you people can get your act together. I say you'll get it back fair and square, but you had to make peace with each other. Have either of you even talked about a peace treaty or have you just been sitting down twiddling your thumbs? Those deaths are on your heads then."
Both sides flinched but kept a steeled facade.
"So what do you say? Will you agree to the terms or no?"
"...look, just allow our countries enough water to sustain us for a few days and we'll try to see what we can work out."
He shrugged. "Fine, but if you try sending another assassin after me like Italy? Well, let's just say your nations will be swept away like Atlantis."
"Why you little-"
And cue the screens getting disconnected immediately.
"Idiots." he muttered to himself as his secretary appeared next to him.
"Humanity can be stupid sir, it is their nature."
"Any other calls?"
"No." She said calmly. "But you did get an email, but it was just another fan of yours."
He groaned. "Was it another nude photo?"
"No."
He sighed in relief.
"It was a close up picture of someone's dick."
"That's no different than a snapchat pic."
"The dick had your name tattooed on it."
Dan paled in disgust.
"Shall I prepare you lunch?"
"Yeah." he sighed before he noticed a call coming in from Germany. "Ugh, again?"
Click.
The screen opened up while revealing a two headed eagle on it.
"What is it?"
"I have...come to negotiate."
He raised his eyebrow. "Oh? Negotiate what? My wares or something else?"
"We have given it thought about what you desire."
"And?"
"We are willing to make peace with other foreign nations."
"The ones you've been having problems with you mean."
"...yes."
"You mean the ones that are currently allied with me, aka most of the UN?"
"Uh….yes?"
He chuckled. "I see, so what do you want in exchange for my wares?"
"Water of course. Our people need it or else they will die."
"I know that." Dan smirked. "But what would you give to me in exchange for water?"
"The required payment you mentioned."
"Ah, wise choice. You will get your water within the next three business days."
"Thank you." The screen said before turning off.
Dan sighed. "Another nation down, hundreds more to go. It's like the nations are never ending."
"True." the woman said calmly. "But at least you only have one more thing on the agenda."
"And that is?"
"Cuddling with me." She said with a calm voice.
"You always say that."
"Because you never cuddle with me." She huffed slightly. "And you do know that the power you have has a cost."
He sighed while knowing it was true.
"Alright, you make a point."
She moved towards him and whispered. "Make sure the bath is ready~"
"Relax, that's something I never forget." Dan said with a sigh as the woman moved back.
"It is time to inspect the reservoir." she said with a bow.
He sighed. "Just for cuddling? Why can't we do it normally?"
"Because if I stay away from water for more than an hour I lose my powers, and it is almost an hour since I entered."
"Alright alright, let's go." He said as they walked out of the office.
(A few minutes later)
-Several miles below Water World-
Dan sighed while looking at the massive reservoir of water, the entire planet's supply of agua that ever was and will be formed, spanning for about fifty miles and is deeper than the Marianas Trench itself while his secretary began to strip in front of him before walking down the set of built in white stairs into the water itself. 'Why does she always strip before going in the water? I know this is the most secure and secret part of the building but why around me?'
Splash.
Splash.
Splosh.
Plop.
As the CEO looked at the now barren reservoir, the surface of the water began to churn and bubble, occasionally forming waves a few feet high.
SLOOOSH!
And from the water came a massive tsunami of water that soon twisted and stretched in every direction as Dan looked up with a look of awe, although it was also combined with a look of boredom, as if he saw this before.
The now large tower of water quickly settled and soon took the form of a gigantic topless tanned woman with deep blue eyes, long eyelashes, long flowing black hair that went past her bare feet and fused with the water around her as it seemed to gain a white line near the ends of the hair, a P cup chest and massive ass, black wave tattoos on her arms, shoulders, legs, cheeks and forehead with shark jaw tattoos covering her cleavage and neck, long white nails that were tipped with purple sea glass and horseshoe crab telsons, wearing a light blue pāʻū that went around her waist and down to her thighs, a dark blue tapa with black wave-like designs made of triangles along with an angular octopus in the center of it, a black tupenu that went to her ankles and was sewed near the top with sharks teeth, a white kofu that went to her knees, three scale-like humu lei on her wrists and on her head, the two on her wrists made of purple conch shells and red starfishes and the lei poʻo on her head made of whale bones, megalodon teeth, wooden ship masts, giant squid beaks and several gold pūpū shells, two kupeʻe on her ankles that were made of anemone tentacles and bleached coral, and necklace made of copper keneta coins, sea snake ribs, human jaws covered in corroded iron and manta ray barbs, whose face was regal and whose body seemed to be emitting a faint blue aura that would make lesser men prostrate in fear and terror.
The woman loomed over the man while she crossed her arms below her chest.
"Feel better?"
"Yes." she said while 'cracking' her neck. "My power is back to normal."
"Even though most of that power came from you taking all the water from the other gods, right?"
She frowned at that. "That may be true, but the gods of the sea perished once humanity exploited the sea's gifts for their greed and hunger. I was the only one with the will to exist, and you, Dan, know full well that without me, you wouldn't even be alive."
"Yeah yeah." he waved his hand. "You gotta remind me every single time we do this?"
"Yes, until you put that knowledge in your simple monkey brain." she playfully teased before pointing to the water. "Aren't you going to take a dive?"
"Yup." Dave moved to the edge and casually plopped in without any fancy jumping.
She watched him swim around in the water as she moved closer to him, causing large waves to form in the process. "Just like you, always being head first into any situation without regard to your own safety."
"More like being the more reasonable person in this place. I mean, I am talking to the most powerful goddess on the planet and not getting killed."
"Oh Dan, you always try to flatter me. But I know that you just said that because you entered a pact with me ages ago." she chuckled.
"Good work, miss exposition." he remarked sarcastically.
She sent a wave at him, causing him to get water in his eyes.
"Hey!"
"Yuk it up. But I speak the truth."
"And that's why I can't tell you a secret without trying to go into full on narration mode on me."
She shook her head. "I only do that because you have a terrible memory."
"That's not true! By the way when are we getting breakfast?" Dan huffed.
"It's already lunch time."
"It is?" Dan said in surprise. "Wow...just wow."
She raised a hand and picked him up by the back of his neck and plopped him into her cleavage. "Enough talk, cuddling session now."
"Ok ok." He said while floating in her cleavage as he began to just float and let the currents do the rest of the work. 'Hopefully no one tries anything stupid while I'm here.'
(Elsewhere)
-Outside Water World-
In the dilapidated city, near a few bushes that somehow survived without water, the sound of snapping branches could be heard.
And lo, for there were a few men, all in tactical gear and firearms at the ready as they had a patch on their shoulders in the shape of an eagle with a scythe and hammer in their talons.
This was the Anti Water World Taskforce, a joint US and Russian squad of the best soldiers in their respective countries, whose sole mission was to destroy Water World at any cost. And well...they got orders to destroy the building before said organization destroyed them.
The captain made hand signals, causing several of the men to spread out and made their way towards the building. However, as they moved closer, they didn't realize that each one tripped a special alarm, one not technological but one made of stone and mana, the life blood of life itself.
These stones, in the shape of a starfish, glowed a blue color as they made a reverberating sound that was so low that no animal could hear it yet any liquid would shake from it.
(With the pair)
The large woman sighed with joy before her entire body began to shake, making her frown. "Dan, we have unwanted company."
"Seriously? Can't it wait?"
"No. They are right near the front gate." She frowned while putting Dan back on solid ground. "Prepare for an all out assault."
He grumbled. "Looks like I have to show them who's boss."
"Yes." She said before her form shifted in size and appearance before turning back to her human form, allowing her to put her clothes back on. "And hopefully your combat skills aren't rusty."
"Are you gonna sit back and watch again?"
"Maybe, depends on how many are left for me to battle." She said with a smirk.
"And you call me lazy." Dan smirked back as they walked to the elevator.
(With the taskforce)
Said group looked around the basement, having entered a minor hole thanks to C4.
"Um sir." said one soldier to the leader. "Are you sure Dan McGreg, former US Navy captain, will be here?"
"Yes, I know he will be here. The tracers in commands' transmissions confirm it."
"But...what about the rumors of him turning into a wizard?"
"Just rumors. Even if he died when the USS Triton sank off in the middle of the pacific and somehow returned with his new fortune, he's still a man. A soon to be dead man that is."
"But then how come we haven't run into any guards? Or any alarms?"
"No idea, but keep your eyes peeled." the leader said before the group moved towards the elevator and began to scope out the area.
They got the doors open and made the way up. However, what they did not know was that the doors were rigged, the moment their feet touched the steps, said steps would sink into the stairs and form a slide leading down towards a special room made for intruders.
"AHHHHHH!"
(A few miles down)
-Water Worlds' Termination Room-
The group slid down the long slide before landing in a pile right in the middle of a small reconstruction of a pasific island, full of trees and flowers, as the entire island was surrounded by endless water, a large volcano looming in the distance.
"Ah, welcome gentlemen." Dan said while currently viewing the group from a screen that stuck out from the nearby rock. "To my Termination Room. Enjoy the sights of isolation and death, because you won't live long to find a way out. Oh and I already know who your employers are, foolish countries they are, and they will be punished for this blatant disregard to human trust. Right after you're dealt with that is."
"That's a laugh coming from you." growled the captain as they got back up. "You're a monster, willing to let people die because of your stupid dream."
"Dream? Oh no no no, you misunderstand. I simply set up a deal for everyone. I keep the water, and in return they pay an extremely ridiculous price so they can get some. And to ensure that this stops? Make peace for all. To stop the pointless squabbling, the pointless animosity, to try and bring peace for future generations. To try and help the people realize that they can do so much more without war or famine." frowned Dan. "Why listen to the very people who could end all this by simply talking? It's THEM who could return all the water to the world and it could prosper again."
"Stop acting like a god and come down and fight like a man!"
"Oh I'm not trying to act like a god. I'm just a simple level headed guy in a world full of idiots." Dan said while shaking his head. "I'm just here to fix your mistakes, I mean, your countries tried to destroy me, for what? Because they saw my idea as dangerous. Fools, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Your little group of dumbells will be picked off one by one by me and my associate."
"Yeah right!" one soldier laughed.
Dan rolled his eyes. "Believe what you want, but you did read my files. How I was a captain to the USS Triton, a master of strategy and warfare, and how I survived for ten long years on an island like this with no modern day tools or utilities. If you did, you will pray to whatever gods you hold dearly, because I will show no mercy to you all."
And like that the screen flickered off, leaving them all alone on the island.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
"We find this son of a bitch and kill him that's what." the captain frowned while no one noticed that the trees were slowly wilting away, as if the water was being sucked from it's cells. "We find a way off this island and get the job done quickly."
That was when one of the men felt something wet on his feet before suddenly feeling his body getting sucked dry of fluids, his face quickly becoming emaciated as his skin turned a sickly brown color.
The others noticed and cried out before their comrade fell down, letting out a wheeze before going silent and still.
"Holy shit!"
"What the fuck happened!?"
"Calm down men!" the captain yelled while another soldier heard rustling in the bushes.
"Someone else is here."
The men moved their weapons towards the bushes, not knowing that something wet and slimy was dripping from one of the trees and onto a soldier.
Sissss.
Which suddenly turned scalding hot as the man's face started to melt along with his skull.
"Ahhhhhh!" He screamed before running into the forest, the rest of the men getting spooked.
But as they were about to get calmed down, they noticed that a figure was moving fast in the undergrowth.
"Halt or we'll shoot!"
Russle.
Russle.
"Halt I said!" the captain yelled before a low rumble was heard.
BOOM!
Which coincided with a small rainstorm that suddenly formed over them, causing their weapons to melt like soap pods for some reason.
"Damn it!"
"My guns!"
Russel russel.
The men gulped in fear as the storm raged on, causing the island to slowly become flooded.
"Easy men, this is just a trick to scare us." the captain said while shaking like a leaf, the figure moving closer and closer to their location. "Stand your ground!"
That was when the figure of a woman appeared behind a coconut tree, making the men tense up.
"Who are you?"
Silence.
"I said who are you!?"
Silence.
The men gulped before noticing that the water was up to their knees as several large fins jutted out of the water towards them.
"Oh my god!" one man screamed before a large great white shark made of water rose up and chomped down on him, severing his head and arm from his body as more sharks began to pick off the team one by one.
Several though pulled knives and stabbed at them when they got close enough. But as they were made of liquid hydrogen and oxygen, this was ineffective and stupid.
The captain, now scared for his life, ran away, abandoning his own men to their bloody fate, as he ran towards the volcano and for dry land, adrenaline allowing him to outrun the sharks. "I gotta get out of this madhouse!"
As he moved faster and faster towards the volcano, he never noticed the figure of a woman following close behind him, even when he made it to the very crater of the bubbling volcano.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Someone needs to go jogging more often."
The captain turned around and saw Dan and his secretary right behind him, looking smug in his eyes. "YOU!"
"Yep, Dan McGreg, CEO of Water World and his lovely secretary." he mocked bowed. "At your service oh cowardly captain of a foolish taskforce doomed to fail."
"I'll kill you!"
"With what?" he smirked. "Your hands?"
"Yes!"
"Ha, I'm an expert in hand to hand combat." he smirked as the captain flitched. "A master of survival."
"And a wizard!"
"Oh? How exactly am I a wizard?"
"Don't act dumb! How else could you have done all this?!"
Dan chuckled.
"What's so funny!?"
"Oh I'm just amazed how stupid you are." he smirked. "I mean, you got it half right, I am a wizard. But I'm not a wizard of any religion you know. For I'm a kāhuna, one that is well versed in mana and certain talents."
The captain looked confused as Dan continued to talk, much to his secretary's amusement.
"It's been like that for ten years, I found myself stranded in the middle of the sea waiting for death when a certain someone plucked me out of the sea, set myself on an island and came to an agreement of sorts." he said while the storm began to subside. "I get wealth, power and the means to keep humanity from blowing themselves to kingdom come and I become the anchor for that someone along with giving that certain person the mana of the world that was just swimming around after the other gods died from human corruption and selfishness."
"It got really boring, and talking with the sealife didn't work out so well." said the secretary with a smirk. "Plus he helped fix a lot of problems involving water consumption."
"No...that...that's insane!" the captain yelled while shaking like a leaf, not noticing that the secretary's legs were turning into water. "There is no such thing as gods!"
"Yet you call me a wizard, how hypocritical of you." Dan mocked. "I'd say it's time to say your final goodbye."
"What are you-"
RUMBLE RUMBLE!
The ocean began to swell as the giant woman reappeared and frowned at the man.
"Captain, meet Nāmaka goddess of the sea. Nāmaka, meet the captain." Dan said while pointing to the scared man. "Play nicely."
"Farewell." She said coldly before flicking her wrists and caused the captain to cry out in pain, his blood oozing out of his veins and coagulating into a torrent of liquid, causing his lungs to gasp for air as the blood started to drown him from the inside.
Dan looked away casually while the man dropped down and let out one last wheeze before crumpling. "Welp, looks like we have two countries to flood."
Nāmaka shrunk down and returned to her human form. "That is true, but we have something else to do first."
"Cuddling session?"
"You read my mind." she smirked.
"I swear if you wanna do it, you could just ask." Dan sighed while walking away, the goddess walking besides him.
"Oh I would, but then you would think I want to fuck you or something."
He blushed before opening his mouth.
"And no, we aren't going to do that. You still have a few years worth of trust to accumulate before we ever try that."
"Damn it." He grumbled as the screen went black.
