ShadowWave kicked the limp body of her once captor away, watching it sink.
Some of the otters, getting the idea, swam below the searats and attacked.
Livid rage encased them- the searats died in minutes. None could meet the
furious strength of an otter in water.
ShadowWave breathed heavily. Thrusting her rudder, she swam to her comrades. Looking around, be saw not a searat alive. As she swam closer, an odd honking noise erupted behind her.
"Feryooday, Kooalaaa!"
Seals rose out of sea, into the carnage. Pups, bulls, wives- all them, including Rawk, the current chief. Rawk waved a huge flipper. Kaola cheerily waved back. "Manyhooday, Raaaaaaawk!"
The seafolk swam over. Seaweed and a few of the old ones were hoisted up onto the seals for support. Rawk raised his head and shouted, "Gittara!"
The seals swam off at an alarming pace. Kaola, Ioales, ShadowWave and all the otters kept up though, with the same energy.
After a while, the otters had swam to the other side of the volcano. Kaola looked around. Ioales, blinking out seawater from her eyes, swore she saw the bottom of the mountain open up, and reveal an opening. Peering closer, she counted the waves. One... two... three...
Eventually, the gap showed itself. Ioales wasn't so sure, but around the nineteenth wave seemed to come right before the crevice opened. Prodding Kaola, who was staring at the sunset, she said, "On the nineteenth wave, swim towards the hole that opens up. I think there's something inside!"
Kaola nodded. "I'm for anything."
They waited and counted. As the seventeenth wave approached, Kaola yelled to the other otters and seafolk, "Follow Ioales and I!"
The nineteenth wave approached. Kaola and Ioales swam faster than they ever had, sea spray flying up behind them. Almost flying, they entered the crevice, roaring, "Yaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!"
The huge wave pushed them into the opening, rushing them along. Seaweed scraped ShadowWave's fur, and barnacles clung to the ceiling. An eerie light filled the cavern. After a rough ride, blinking sunlight flashed in the otter refuges faces. But what welcomed them was not quite a hospitable greeting.
Ioales was the first to wash up, then Kaola, ShadowWave, and Seaweed. The rest of the otters piled up behind them. Looking around, Kaola gasped.
Huge, reptilian lizards snaked their tongues out, hissing. It looked as if a fifteen or so were there. Kaola grabbed a piece of driftwood, and got into a fighting stance. ShadowWave snatched up a rock limb, not unlike a primitive mace. The other otters quickly seized driftwood and rock chunks, arming themselves.
The lizards hissed and charged forward. The otters recoiled, but then remembered the reason they were out this far in the ocean in the first place- slavery. Horrifically thinking of what the reptiles might do to them, they yelled and ran forward, waving the driftwood and pieces of rock.
The lizards momentarily stopped- the show of aggressiveness frightened them to some extent. The otters captured that chance, and slammed their force into the monitor lizards.
The impact took out about five of the lizards. The battle raged on after that, with otters yelling, snarling reptiles, and most manifest of all, the battle cries of ShadowWave Tsunami, wielding her mace of destruction, her crimson eyes flashing.
"Yahhhhhhhhhh! 'Tis yore dying night! Whupperoooooo! See the gates, me buckoes! Yahhhhhhhhhh!"

A/N Well? How is it? Please review and stuff! Yes, I know. There were supposed to be more lizards, but do you really think a score of otters can win against thirty monitors (Random number)? I actually had to refer to Pearls of Lutra for this info. Yes, I researched! ~cheers~ -Shadowsong CometShard StarGlaive
