The perfect sky
Chapter
7
Shark beach.
We headed over to the beach shop over at the
mall to pick up a few things. Also Rem wanted to take our suits back
not because we didn't like them because they were the wrong size.
After a sizing and tone matching they pulled out another one that was
a perfect match unfortunately. Ken wanted to try his on but I
suggested we do so at the beach where it's much warmer also there's
a lot less people. Soon we were packed. Towels, inflatable-raft,
grill surfboards and all. Amazing how much trunk space vehicles of
this centaury had. After a stop over at the auto grocer we went on
our road tip everyone was already dressed I had my trunks on with a
red Hawaiian shirt and no shoes as usual for Gaians. Rem was in hers
as well. Wearing a white cape like towel with a hood and on her hands
were clear webbed gloves. Hanging on her neck was an artificial gill
clear as well and on her feet was part of an "mermaid" class
diving fin which matched her bathing suit it was rolled down at the
time. Ken was wearing his and that was all that he was wearing. He
occasionally stuck his head out and howled like a wolf playing
"Werewolf" with Rem. Pretending he was a werewolf "seeking
virgin flesh to feed upon." His little act kept Rem in a constant
guffaw. After a few miles and apple beers we made it. To
Shark beach it was wide and beautiful it looked like an untouched
aquatic Eden. After we found a parking place Ken rushed out with one
thing on his mind. /Ken thinking /"Girls Hundreds of
them! Wearing those nude suits. Revealing those voluptuous figures
for all to see! Oh I must be dreaming! Maybe if I play it strait. I
could see their real nudity tonight. Oh Ken you are quite literally
one sly fox!" Rem pulled up her artificial fin when she hoped out
of the car She looked like a triple cross Humen, fish, and chu But
not in an ugly way. It was like something you see in a trading card
game or a girl's manga. "Well Tyro I'm off pearl diving I'll
be right back." She placed on the underwater contacts, put the
artificial gill down her thought and hoped into the water She popped
out and gave a wave with her webbed hand and went under I looked
along the coast line down further some wailoard were making gigantic
artificial waves I grabbed a wetsuit, a board, some wax and headed
down there. "You only live twice." A famous James Bond Villain
once said and I never seen monster waves in my first and this life
I'm not going to pass them up and beside if I drown they can revive
me. I started swimming towards the epicenter of the waves and started
to go though the chute It was awesome the wind on my fur my tail
swinging in the breeze soon I was shot out of that water cannon like
a bullet I sailed though the air without a worry in the world until I
found Rem fighting something. It was a giant squid! "A monster
squid that's original." I said whale paddling over there. She was
hitting it with an old rusty anchor trying to keep it's tendrils
away form her I managed to get close enough to launch a zap cannon at
it. I stood up on the board and carefully aimed. I gathered all of my
energy to that point and fired. Bull's-eye I hit the creature
square in the head paralyzing it Rem grabbed its tendrils and
performed an example of centrifugal force. Launching the squid and
slamming it agents the billboard on a restaurant. The giant patty
fell out of the burger on the billboard and the squid slid in between
the buns. Rem removed the gill and said "you know I could have
handled that by myself." "Well I'm just doing my job." I
said. She giggled and said "Hey go back to shore and look in the
Red box in the trunk use it and join me at 1700 feet" I went off to
the car and found a small red box inside of it was A diving set
similar to Rem's. She seems to think everyone wants one. She's
only right 25 of the time. I slipped on the fin it looked like a
sharks fin after I put on the contacts Everything was blurry Also my
eyes were pure black. I placed the webbed gloves over my hands. It
felt like they were made out of Gel I flopped along the beach until I
got to the shore. Finally I pulled out the Artificial gill I
Swallowed it. I felt like I couldn't breath I was gasping for air.
I put my head underwater and I was able to breathe the water no
problem after I completely submersed myself I was able to see
clearly. So this is this is what water pokemon see! It was beautiful.
Apparently this place was not only a beach but a city as well. The
city was underwater. It looked like a mix between Atlanta and
Atlantis. There were subs running though it likes traffic. People
over there went only on the streets but the top buildings swimming
down from balconies and some delivery boys were bringing packages
strait to buildings floors. Apparently they have taken full advantage
of the lack of gravity. I noticed Rem floating along above the mall
probably waiting for me. I wriggled my hips trying to move the shark
fin but to no avail. Then I saw this thing pop out of the dorsal fin
and connected to my spine. My legs were paralyzed for a moment.
Scared I tried moving my legs but the fin move instead as if it were
really a part of my body. Since I'm underwater I don't really
need legs. I shrugged and went over to Rem accidentally slamming into
her. Looks like I haven't got used to this thing yet. Rem pushed me
off She was speaking but her words were muffled. I put my hand to my
ear trying to hear her. I still had the red box with me. She grabbed
it pulled out a pair of earplugs and stuck them into my ears "Can
you hear me now?" She said "Yah" "You forgot to put the
water-ears on." She said in a musical tone "why are you.. Why am
I speaking like this?" I responded in the same melodious tone
"We're not really talking but more like screeching our water ears
are translating those screeches. I got something to show you Paikou!"
she zoomed off into the mall. I sighed and followed her I'm glad
Ken doesn't have to deal with this.
