Beginning notes: Well, we left off at the Sea Serpent, so I guess I'll have to finish it up.

Mia gaped at the massive beast. It seemed to be caught in perpetual motion. Little frills silently flapped, body pulsing like a ripple in a lake. The skin was smooth, and devoid of barnacles or any other clutterings. If it wasn't so brutally dangerous, Mia might have admired it for its beauty...
"Guys...? What are we goaaaAAACCK!" Ivan cut off, leaping to the side as a sudden beam of ice froze the spot where he was standing.
"Luff! Seal his Psynergy, if that's what it is!" Mia held her arm, the djinn materializing on it, beginning to leap at it.
"No! Stop!" Garet caught the djinn, handing it back to Mia.
"If we force it to use physical attacks, it'll crush the ship!" Garet stalled the creature by casting Inferno, the fireballs repetitively smashing into the creature. Startled, it fell back into the water. Garet followed up, unleashing Flash. Flames began to flicker around the ship, then erupted Into a blazing fire wall. Ivan Started a Spark Plasma spell, the bolts flashing through the water. An inhumane howl erupted from the water as it writhed in pain. Sparks danced around the wet frames, and the beast seemed frozen in place.
"Kite! Give Garet a second chance!" Kite leaped over Garet, and a purple aura surrounded him. Garet unleashed Torch, then Scorch. Mia frowned, obviously not enjoying the slaughter of such an elegant creature. Something about it seemed... Different.
Garet finished his attack by yelling, "Tiamet!". A red aura surrounded Garet as a massive Dragon swooped down, crashing into the creature. It released a massive flamethrower, point-blank into the face of the sea beast. Tiamet dissolved into small red fragments, which surrounded Garet and increased his power.
"It's moving again!" Mia suddenly looked up in time to get hit by the oncoming tail of the beast. She had the strange sensation of flight before blacking out.
"Mia! Oh, that's it..." Garet held out his hand, and the sea began to rumble.
"Pyroclasm!" Four jets, each spewing molten rock, began to pummel the creature. Steam rose from the water and formed an eerie cloud.
"Is it still there?" Ivan said in a hushed whisper. A sudden yellow glow answered his question. Ivan covered his face as a massive tidal wave nearly knocked the boat over. He gave a sharp cry as he water-flow rushed his head first into the mast. He slowly opened his eyes, wincing. He reached around to the back of his head, then pulled it back as he felt something warm. Blood, it was his. He finally saw Garet, bravely attempting to fend off the beast. Ivan slumped down, out cold.
"Argh, I've had enough!" Garet leaped out, Muramasa In his hand. He felt Demon Fire consume his as he leapt onto the creatures head, hacking at it. His efforts barely managed to pass the scales. He gasped in pain as his body temperature dropped. His boots were frozen solid from just touching the creature. He struggled quickly before leaping out of them. He flipped over, attempting to land feet-first on the boat. He landed, and turned. He suddenly slipped. He managed to catch a glimpse of the ice patch the creature had made in its first attack. He looked back up, face paling at the gaping mouth, white energy building up. He shuffled backwards, the ice beam catching his feet. He gasped at the sudden cold and numbness, focusing on getting away. His feet were frozen solidly to the floor. He whimpered slightly as he tried to form a fire spell before the beast attacked. He cringed, his energy drained. Garet closed his eyes as he felt the rest of his body being encased in ice. He wrapped his arms around him, until he was completely frozen.
"Enmac, ta refishta grecole..." The voice was harsh and grating. The Sea Serpent finished its strange dialect, then calmly slipped beneath the troubled waters. The ship slowly rocked side-to-side, waves pushing it forward, on a pre-decided destination.
