ATTACK OF THE KILLER SHRIMP OF DOOM!
By: Akiko
Chapter 4: This Is My Island In the Sun...Only It's a Ship...
"So, the giant shrimp attacking the ship...WASN'T a dream?!" Picard screamed.
"For the millionth time, Picard, NO," Jenna hit him with her staff. The Mars Adept looked rather perturbed...he couldn't imagine why.
"OW!" Picard rubbed the back of his head. "That hurt."
"Good, it was supposed to," Jenna seemed rather pleased with herself.
"Guys, shut up," Isaac put on his "I-am-the-brave-and-fearless-leader-listen-to-me-NOW!" face. "Okay, first a rather large shrimp attacks Picard, and is killed by Felix."
"Yeah, I smacked it with my arm," Felix explained animatedly, swinging his arm to demonstrate the exact movements he had used. "It was like 'wham!', and then the little bastard was like 'splat!' and its guts went flying-"
"As I understand it, you tripped on a piece of rope and your arm landed on it," Sheba interrupted him coldly.
"I meant to do it!"
"That doesn't matter," Isaac silenced him with one of his glares. "A short while later, our ship was attacked by a shrimp bigger than a Kraken. If this keeps up...there won't be much a ship to come back to."
"We'll just do what we did when we lost our ship," Garet replied. "I mean, between Picard and Mia I'm sure we could get a pretty decent piece of ice to float on."
"It won't work very well in the tropics, Garet," Mia said.
"Oh...right...about that..."
"Hey, that's it!" Ivan brightened. "We can move to a colder climate! The warm climate must be what's making the shrimp so big!"
"Only problem with that is we used up all of our psynergy defending our ship," Sheba pointed out.
"Then we'll just die, sad day," Garet shrugged.
A hissing noise directed their attention to the railing. Four shrimp, all roughly the size of clydesdales, were perched on the railing. The wood was strained under the weight, and their ship began to lean.
"Quick, battle stations!" Isaac drew his sword.
"Oh, mother..." and Picard fainted.

Hahaha...stupid cliffhanger! Now...a response to a review..
Bar_Ohki: ::gasp:: You've read Dragon Knights?! You are my new best friend! That is my favorite manga series! I absolutely adore it! And yes..."Killer Shrimp" was partially inspired by Kharl's little creation...sorry I didn't reply to your review earlier!
Isaac: ::in bluish-silver "You do realize that you work in a few hours, right?"::
Oh yeah...sleep is a good thing...more to come soon!
I missed you SO much, Isaac.
