ATTACK OF THE KILLER SHRIMP OF DOOM!
By: Akiko
Chapter 7: The Beginning of. . .Well. . .Something
They set off at full speed for Lemuria the next morning, using the ship's flying capabilities and everything. Isaac stood at the prow in heroic pose, the wind whipping back his scarf, the effect somewhat ruined when Flint appeared on his head. It was more than ruined when a seagull flew a little too close and decided to deposit a present directly on Isaac's shoulder. Isaac, being the fearless hero that he was, drew his sword and began waving it about, managed to trip, and fell over onto the deck, his scarf covering his head.
Needless to say, everyone laughed, and Isaac suffered little injury other than a bruised tail bone and ego.
"Here comes our dignified leader!" Garet announced when Isaac came in for dinner that evening. Picard had a feeling that the Venus Adept would NEVER live it down.
"Make way!" Ivan, who must have been taking obnoxious lessons from Garet waved everyone to the side. Isaac gave him his best glare, but it seemed to have little effect on the cheery Jupiter Adept.
"Oh, leave him alone," Mia chided them.
Alex raised one blue eyebrow, but declined from commenting.
"Dude, that was the funniest thing I ever saw," Felix assured him. "You were like 'Yeah, I'm cool', and then that seagull's-"
"We don't need a recap, Felix!" Jenna yelled at him. Picard was grateful, he was certain Felix was about to say one of the words that made Mia want to kill things.
"Fine," Felix sulked. He brightened a bit and then turned to Picard. "Yo, Lemurian boy, are we almost to the home place?"
"We're getting close," he felt a sudden sense of forboding. He was NOT looking forward to taking on a giant shrimp. "In fa-"
He was cut off when the ship ground to a sudden halt, which sent everyone and their food flying. The lamp went out in the process, plunging them into darkness.
"Is everyone alright?" he asked after a moment.
"Dude, I think so."
"Ow...Mia! Get your big butt off of me!" Jenna yelled.
"I'm not sitting on anyone!" Mia replied.
"Oh, sorry, that was me," Picard could hear Ivan scrambling around.
"OW! That was my foot!" Jenna yelled. "FLARE!"
A bright light filled the cabin, and revealed Alex with his cape on fire. He sighed, took it off, broke off one of the table legs and wrapped the still burning garment around it.
"Nice trick, Mercury boy," Felix grinned at him. "But...um....your hair's on fire."
"What?! Oh..." this was followed by several Felix words while Alex cast douse on himself. In the torchlight they could make out that the ends of Alex's hair were severely burned. He looked crushed, but refrained from saying anything.
"Well," Isaac was back in fearless leader mode. "Let's go find out why we've stopped."

Now to answer some reviews!
Orchid-Yes! Burn the wise one...and Kraden!
Bar-Ohki-Thankee! And unfortunately, Kharl will not be in this fic. T.T Poor Kharl.
Kyarorain-Thank you. ^_^
InsaneTrekkie-The name "Piers"...::shudder:: Well, the main thing is that I was writing fics with Picard long before I even knew his name would be changed. When you write with a character, particularly Picard, you get attached to him and therefore become adverse to any changes, such as his name. So...I will probably always know him as Picard and hate the name Piers. ^^
Well, that about does it!
Isaac: ::in blue "Would you get off of the whole Picard thing?!"::
But...I like Picard...review, please!
