Chapter 40: Remember the War

"Li!" Ronjad shouted running up his camper, "I got to tell you all I found!" Ronjad reached the camper, the door was slightly opened. He opened the rest of it, no one was in sight.

He stepped into it, but still no sigh of Li. He then noticed a red pool on his right. A sheet covered up the half of right side of the camper. He pulled it back and found Li on the ground. He was shot in the head between his two eyes and another shot into the heart.

"Shit," Ronjad said, "What the hell happened here?" He looked around some more and found written in blood on the camper side was Joe Soul.

"Fishing is fun!" said Ash to Melody has they walked down the pier, "It something we can do together!"

"But this for a date?" she said, "It's too weird." Ash shrugged and led her down the end. Two men were fishing off the pier.

"Any good bites?" Ash said to them.

"Hell no," said the younger one, "Hasn't been a good bite in months every since the storm. Must be something new in these waters." Melody and Ash gave each other a look, sat down on the other side of the pier and started to fish too.

"Crap," said the older guy, "Dropped my rod in the water, I'll be back." He jumped in and splashed the younger guy.

"Be careful," he mumbled as he grabbed a towel and washed himself. Meanwhile, the older man is looking in water for his rod. He reached his whole arm in and then something begins to pull.

"Shit," he mumbled, "What the hell?" All of sudden, the pulling got stronger as he fought back to pull his arm out. Then an electrical shock with through and he screamed.

"What the hell?" said the younger man turning to the noise. He looked over the side, the older guy was gone.

"What was that?" said Melody looking back to the guy. She then looked back to her fishing line in the water. Then she screamed herself.

In the water, was the older guy dead floating by. He looked liked he been ripped apart, because half his cheek was missing and so was his arm. His eyes had melted away and he had horrified look on his face.

"Holy f--k!" said Ash jumping to his feet seeing the body, "Holy crap! What happened?"

Later that night, Max, Whitey, and Blue are attending a midnight party on the island's beach.

"This is so cool!" said Blue, "I never have been up past midnight before."

"Never?" said Whitey stunned, "I'm always up past midnight. It's the caffeine in the sodas and candy that keeps me awake."

"Hello," said one of the three teens running up to them, "Aren't you a little too young for this party? Are you past your bedtime?" The person talking was a boy about 19, he had silver hair, bright blue eyes, and a mole on his foot. He was wearing a yellow and black t-shirt with shorts.

The other two were younger then him. One was a 14 year old girl with green dye hair that came down to her thigh and she had pale green eyes. She wore a purple string bikini and shorts. The other was a boy with hazel eyes and curly blond hair. He was taller then all of them and he wore no shirt and swim-shorts.

"Yeah," said the other boy, "Beat it pipsqueaks! This is for teens, not for babies!"

"Shut your mouth asshole," said Whitey standing up to the two teens, "We have the right to be here and call the cops on this party."

"Why you bastard," the older teen grumbled. He was about to throw a punch at him, but the teen girl stopped him.

"You want to go back to jail again?" she said, "That act like an ass." Both the boys cussed at her and walked away.

"Sorry about my friends," she said, "They not always this bad. Sometimes they are cute or worse."

"No problem," said Whitey and then he introduced everyone, "I'm Whitey, that's Max with the glasses, and the girl is Blue. Who are you?"

"I'm Trina," said the girl, "The older guy was Dan and his friend was Zane. Just stay out of their way, they take no crap from anyone and been to jail 3 times once for stealing a car, another for robbery, and the latest was starting a riot in the public square."

"Ohh rough," said Max, "I'll stay out of his for sure." All of a sudden, it was daytime and everyone was running around.

"Dan!" shouted someone, "Where are you?"

"Oh my God!" shouted Zane to everyone, "I found him!"

Then as soon as it started, the vision was gone and he was back on the beach during the nighttime. Everyone was now looking at him with a weird look and stuff. "You ok?" said Blue with concern, "You look like you seen a ghost or something?"

"It's nothing," lied Max, "Just thought of something creepy. But it's not important." Trina shrugged her shoulders and walked away as well.

"You're lying," whispered Whitey into Max's ear, "What's really happening?"

"None of your business," mumbled Max to Whitey in his ear. Whitey shrugged and didn't question him anymore.

"It's been a long time since I seen Jessie or check on her condition," said Riche to himself as he entered the hospital, "I need to remember these things, Ronjad always wants things kinds of things checked out."

He found Jessie's room and walked inside. She was gone and Meowth neck was snapped in half.

"Shit," said Riche, "Holy shit! What happened here?"

Back on the other island, Max and his friends are enjoying the party and everything.

Then Trina came running up to them and said, "You seen Dan? I remember him taking a dive a bit ago, but I haven't seen him in awhile."

"Nope," said Blue, "Haven't seen him or would want to." Trina frowned but then something else happened.

"DAN!" shouted Zane from the edge of the water, "WHERE ARE YOU?"

"What's going on?" said one of the people.

"Dan and me where swimming a bit," gasped Zane, "Then something grabbed him and pulled him under."

"What?" said Whitey listening in. Max looked towards the water and saw an eerie blue glow from under the water.

The next morning on the beach, everyone is looking around for Dan, but can't find him.

"Just like my vision," said Max to Blue and Whitey, "How is this happening?"

"Beats me," Whitey replied and looking around, "But I don't get it either. Maybe it was a weird…"

"Oh my God!" shouted Zane to everyone, "I found him." Everyone ran towards his direction and found what Zane found. Max couldn't get around the people to see what they were seeing, but he mange to make out a foot with a mole on it.

"No way," said Blue looking at Max, "It's the same thing!"

"I know," said Max, "And I have a feeling it is only going to get worse from here on in."

"We mange to attract DNA from the bite marks on the dead victim," said Dr. Alfred to the reporters outside the lab, "And we confirmed it was from the same creature type as our newest specimen found by Max Waterliles."

"It was also confirm it was the same species that killed the fisherman on Shamouti Island," said his assistant.

"What is your opinion on these creatures?" shouted one of the reporters to Dr. Alfred.

"That they are vicious monsters," he replied, "Not one of these creatures could kill a full grown human being. They must travel in groups."

"These things are a public menace!" shouted a citizen, "We must kill them before they kill anyone else! We must find them." A lot of people agreed with the citizen.

"But we don't know where the rest are," said the assistant.

"What about the one you have?" said another reporter, "Can't you put a tracking device on it, release it into the ocean, and follow it to it's group."

"There's a good idea," shouted another citizen.

"We can do that," said Dr. Alfred, "But it might be risky, this thing has never been with another type of it's own. It might be killed by one of them or we might lose it completely, but if we must."

"You what?" said Max shocked at Dr. Alfred's request. He wanted Max to put on a track deceive onto Mio and then release Mio into the ocean so that they can follow his path and see if he leads them to the group of other creatures like him. Then once they find the pack, they kill them.

"You heard me," replied the doctor, "No one get close enough to put the tracking deceive on Mio. It trusts you more, so you can get closer enough and put it on."

"But I be breaking the trust bond I have with Mio," plead Max, "I just can't do that!"

"Think of the people who have died because of these things and the more that will die too if we don't stop them," said Alfred, "Max, you smart, do that right thing and help us stop these monsters. You can do it."

"But Mio…" mumbled Max. Alfred had a serious look on his face. He was right, thought Max to himself. They had to die, but he couldn't do it. He sighed, took the tracking device away from Alfred and walked towards Mio in his container.

"Max will be surprised to see us," said Ronjad to everyone. He thought he surprised Max by bring everyone to see him and find out how he is doing. Ash, Riche, Misty, Casey, Bianca, Melody, Lovrina and himself had all come to visit him.

"So bring him here and we'll surprise him," said Melody cheerfully, "Be a nice surprise to see all his friends again." Ronjad nodded and left them at the restaurant to go get Max from his hotel.

"So," said Lovrina calmly to everyone and turned to Casey, Bianca, and Misty, "Ronjad has been thinking…"

"That's never a good sign," mumbled Casey to herself so low that no one could hear her, but herself.

"He wants you to know all the truth of all that has been happening in the past few months," said Melody to them.

"Go on," said Calvin popping out of nowhere, "I'm listening now."

"Beat it pervert!" shouted Melody at him, but he didn't leave and she went on talking, "The storm, it was an invasion of three alien races. One that can make an exact duplicate you…like Misty."

Misty stared at her and sighed, "I guess its true then."

"How you know?" said Lovrina surprised.

"Tom," said Misty, "He said I had a weird experience during the storm. He said I changed, he was right."

"How does he…" said Ash. All of a sudden, three men walk up to them.

"Have you heard the news?" said one of them, "They found the creatures' school that killed those two people. They are heading towards Shamouti Island! We need all the people that can help kill them before they kill again."

"I heard about this on the news," said Calvin, "I'll help you." Everyone looks at him and then at themselves. They knew what each other thought, they were going to help out.

"Hey!" said Ronjad to Max once he opened the door, "How you been doing?"

"They made me put the tracking collar on Mio," mumbled Max, "Now he has lead them to the herd of the other creatures. They are all now heading for Shamouti Island and everyone is heading there to kill them all."

"Oh," said Ronjad surprised, "I hope Mio gets out ok." Max nodded and all of sudden, he was on Shamouti Island, on he was the pier and beach too, and it was nighttime. There were many people shooting at the water and other running.

"There are too many!" shouted someone.

"I shot that one but it's still alive!" shouted another. Then the rest of people turned and ran. But some were falling into the water and not resurfacing. Then he saw creatures like Mio rising out of the water and jumping at others. They ripped and tore at the people's skin and necks spilling out blood and muscles.

"HELP!" screamed a familiar voice. He couldn't be sure, but it sounded like Whitey, Ash, or Riche. Then the screaming stopped and he was back in his hotel room.

"Something wrong?" said Ronjad, "You seem pale."

All that emerged from Max's mouth was this, "Something horrible is going to happen on Shamouti Island tonight!"

Later that night, people with magnums, pistols, hunting rifles, and shot guns were all watching the water from the piers and beaches. The creatures were coming there way and they were ready to finish them off.

In the crowd, Ash, Whitey, Calvin, Bianca, and Lovrina were in the crowd with shotguns. "This is going to be the biggest shootout ever," said Ash, "I told Melody to stay away so that she wouldn't get hurt."

"I did the same thing with Misty," said Riche, "She is my girlfriend after all."

"How did that come about anyways?" said Calvin, "I heard she was crazy about Ash."

"She came up to me a long time back," told Riche, "She was sad and wanted me to comfort her. After she did, she said she loved me so much. How could I refuse such a cute face?"

"Humph," mumbled Bianca trying to balance the gun in the on palm of her hand, "You're just a suck-up."

Riche would have argued that, but someone shouted, "I see them! Everyone get ready!"

They ran up to get a clear shot. They saw them moving slowly in the water towards them. People started to fire off rounds into the creatures in the water. A bunch of them sank after they were hit, but one made it to land. Then it was shot by someone, who then picked it up and said, "Wouldn't this be a nice trophy huh?"

Some chuckled, but stop when they saw the creature was still alive. Now his hands, the creature jumped towards the man's face and started to tear away at him with its teeth and claws slicing easily through his face.

People screamed and started to run off as soon as they saw this, but it was going to get worse. The creatures had made it onto the pier and jumped at people, causing them to fall into the water or trip and be slashed and killed by the creatures. Then what seemed like hundreds more rise out of the water, causing the rest of the remaining people to run off.

"I got to get moving!" thought Ash. He turned to run away, but too many people were pushing past. Then he collapsed to the ground by the pressure of the people.

He looked up and saw Riche running by, but the creatures jumped onto his back and started to chew on him. He screamed loudly, fell to the ground, shoved the things off him, and started to crawl away, but more things jumped onto him. Then Ash lost sight on him as more people ran by.

"STOP!" shouted Max running up to creatures who were attacking the people, "Stop what you are doing!" All the creatures looked at him.

"Go back into the ocean!" commanded Max at them, "Return to where you came from!" They seemed to all nod and crawled their ways back into the ocean.

Everyone stared at him with confusion, but sighed that they were ok. Then he saw Misty pushing her way through everyone. "RICHE!" she shouted, "WHERE ARE YOU!"

A low groan came from the beach, and Misty ran towards it with Max following. When he reached her, she was hugging Riche and crying as well. His back was ripped to shreds and blood had stopped rushing out of him. He was dead.

"No," cried Misty hugging him tightly, "No can't be dead. I love you too much. You can't leave me." But all was quiet, but Misty cries of sorrow and despair at the death of her love.

Author Notice: Man, you didn't feel her sorrow you must be not that deep enough to understand.

I thought this was my best chapter I have written! I give it a 5 out of 5, what would you give it? I also think it is my longest too!"

Now Riche, Li, and Meowth are dead, Jessie has gone missing, and it might be possible that Joe killed Li. I have been pounding a lot on you all, that means that the end if near. Only 10 more chapters until this story ends!

The next chapter is a secret, I hope you find it interesting when it comes out.
