ATTACK OF THE KILLER SHRIMP OF DOOM!

By: Akiko

Chapter 6: Tell Me He's Joking...

"So, you're telling me that these things are taking over cities all along the coast?" Isaac jumped to his feet.

"Yes, exactly," Alex nodded.

Isaac drew his sword, very dramatic like, and pointed it off in a direction he picked at random. "Onward! We can't leave those towns defenseless!"

"Cool it, Leader boy," Felix grabbed the back of his tunic and pulled him back down. "We gotta worry about ourselves first."

"But we're heroes, we don't even consider our own self interest!" Isaac protested.

"Well, fine, if we don't worry about ourselves first we won't have a ship to get to the coast in," Sheba pointed out. "And then those poor people wouldn't have a chance."

Isaac paused. "Yes. Yes Sheba. You're right."

Everyone else rolled their eyes. Alex looked a bit confused, but decided to stay quiet.

"I wonder how they got that big, though," Ivan thought aloud. "And why they seem intent upon attacking people."

There was a flash of light, and a giant floating rock with an eyeball appeared before them.

"The Wise One!" Isaac jumped to his feet again.

"You! I have a score to settle with you!" Jenna grabbed her staff and went towards the Wise One. Alex grabbed her cape to keep her from attacking.

"Picard," the Wise One turned to him.

"Huh?" he had been silent for most of the evening.

"A shrimp near Lemuria was gifted the power of the Golden Sun."

"Wait!" Alex yelled. "You told me that some of it was given to me, and the rest to Isaac!"

"Isaac?!" everyone looked at him.

Isaac shrugged. "What?"

"No, unfortunately only a small portion of the remaining power was siphoned off to Isaac," the Wise One explained. "The rest went to that shrimp. It's been causing other shrimp to grow, and become strong. It wants to take over the settlements on land and be ruler of the Golden Age."

Silence fell over their little group.

"Well, how retarded is that?" Felix asked after a moment.

***

I agree with him. That's just retarded.
