Alexandria city : Egypt
Gawr Gura & Murasaki Shion
After a long stumble across the sand ocean. They finally reach the city that connect to the sea. Now they just have to contact Subaru and told her their whereabouts so she
can send help.
Gura and Shion change their dress since both costume are too outstanding to walk in the city.
Now Gura is wearing wearing white T-shirt and overalls skirt that somehow make her look even younger while Shion dresses a black gothic dress that cover her arm and leg
perfectly.
They buy both outfit by the oyster's pearl Gura find on the submerged rock (Shop owner also give them both a cat ear hairpin, but they decide to throw it away.)
After packing their belonging in Shion's magic pocket. They casually walk in the city like some young traveler.
Shion eager to see Alexandria since "This is cleopatra's home!" So Gura let her go to travel around by herself while she is looking for someone to borrows his phone.
It easier than she ever thought, just make a right noise and little puppy eyes. Then she gets one man who willing to let her use his phone.
( Shion probably can't do that. Her smugness aura is too high.)
As Gura calling for helps. Shion is dragging her leg back toward her friend. How can she know that An old capital has been sinks under the wave! And the closest thing she get
to cleopatra is a small night club near the sea.
What about city of magic she uses to read about in library? The oldest thing that left now is the citadel near the coast, and it has been built in the middle age.
Not Pharaoh era.
Furious, Shion looks for something to destroy and find only one little girl who trying to clean the wall painting street art that has been draw by local teenager, with a small
eraser.
She cast a spell and turn every painting on the wall into a clean water that splash on the girl face.
"Mom! I can use magic!" The girl quickly running to her mother.
Shion laughs before paying attention back to Gura who still talking on the phone.
"… I swear. Watson. The next time you said. 'It's Goombing time' I will Goomb you out of the existence!" Gura yell at her phone, before hung up and give it back to owner
with an apologetic smile.
"Is that your friend?" Shion asks as they are walking toward tall building to get a better view of this city.
"Just an idiot." Gura snorted, thinking back of time when they first met.
In the Akukin's meeting room, when they were gathered to talk about 'Three forbidden treasures.' And the council's attack.
Gura sitting at the room's corner, her hood is still wet from New York Bay sea water. Ina'nis still in sick room due to her injuries and Calliope is chattering with Kiara.
A blonde girl in detective uniform sat beside her and give Gura a cup of hot chocolate.
"What is your name again? My name is Amelia Watson." Ame asks.
"… Gawr Gura." She replied, why can't this girl leave her alone?
"George Goomba?" Amelia repeats, or tries to.
Gura Groaned. " At least it's not Kwokua. Those Pacific Islanders are nut."
"It's Gawr Gura. Doesn't that hard to spell. Right?" She looks At Watson with a little bit of hope.
" Jaws Goombus?" Ame tries again.
" Call me whatever you want." Gura get up and walk away, Amelia quickly follows.
" Wait! Gura." She asks, loud enough for calli and kiara to look up from their conversations.
" I just joking. Okay? Hope we can become friends."
So, she can spells it right after all. This is the first time in thousands of years that someone actually asking to be Gura's friend.
In Atlantis, people always think she is higher than them as king daughter and somewhat lower because she is a half bred land dweller.
And when she travels on land, Gura tried not to get close with human too much, since they are short live and always die in matter of decades.
" Whatever you say." Gura gave up, she can't beat Hachama alone anyways, perhaps forming an alliance with these guys will help her as well as them.
While they still shake hands. Amelia asks if she could say the word "It's Goombin' time." That has been popular lately.
Amelia is holding voice recorder in one hand.
So, Gura use her power to control hot chocolate and pour it over the item as she speaks.
" Anyways, Everyone seems to be fine a. Ame is study in the university. Ina going to Tibet in order to practice how to control her power.
Calli and kiara is as lively as usual. And Subaru will send a plane to bring us out of this city in a few hours. So, all going well."
Gura told Shion as they walking to the building roof and watch the sea and Alexandria's citadel that stand not too far away.
" Ina… Is she is the woman who can use ancient one's power?
I heard that they are master of space magic. If she could get it right, she will easily become a stronger magician than me, especially a portal magic." Shion recalled what she
read about them in the past.
"Can you help her?" Gura asks.
" She has a hard time controlling her own power. One day ina sleep and dream about having an ice cream, then the ice cream truck literally falling on her home."
" No matter what kind of practices she do. A yoga, Zen, or Buddhist meditate. She still barely controlling her own power." Gura explain.
"I might be able to help her a bit. But we have to clear our problem with Atlantean first." Shion changes the subject.
She smiles. "At least, it tell me you have a good heart. A person who is on the run didn't always worried about her friend like you do."
Gura scratch her own cheek, embarrassed.
" Anyways. Do you know that some humans propose a marriage on the higher place like this. I knows one who did on Himalayan, even if it is too cold for them to celebrates,
I thinks." Gura changes the subject as soon as possible.
"Gawr Gura. Are you going to propose me?" Shion's smiles look more sinister all of sudden.
Gura decided to play along. " Well, if you accept me." She smiles and jokingly hugged magician.
Before they could playing around more. Red beam suddenly blows through the building's roof, making it collapsed.
Gura protects Shion from the falling damages as both crashing the ground, Shion mutter something about divorce but Gura has no time to answer, she get up and saw one
robot girl flying at them with the jets engine under her boot.
Roboco landing near them as she spoke. "Target confirmed: Start Exterminate."
Behind her, Seanz and Atlantean soldiers quickly gather around them.
" We meet again." Seanz smiles.
" I rather not." Gura struggling to get up, part of her clothes has been torn by the fall and pile of debris around them.
"In the name of great Magi. I command you to stop!" Shion shout at soldiers' group that aiming their fish tooth gun at her, but none of them react.
Seanz laugh. " We have new great Magi now. You two are just an outlaw. Everybody can kill you now without consequences."
" That's bull-" Shion going to say something but Roboco already shooting red energy beam from her eyes glasses.
Gura put Shion away from the attack range but getting hit by it herself.
The beam sends Gura flying through the building wall like it was made by paper.
Roboco flying with her jets to look at the results. Shion gets up and trying to follows them.
One Atlantean put a sword near her throat, stopped Shion from her running.
" Sorry, Magi but order is an order if you can go with us in peace-"
Shion shoot wind bullet at his chest at point blank range, knocking the soldier out in one move.
She then uses earth magic to create a stone wall that blocks the fish tooth bullet, as Atlantean soldier start shooting at her.
Shion jumping over the wall with her enchanting leg and kick one soldier in the face as she come near him, another man running at her with curve blade, but Shion simply
uses wind magic to make his swing misses.
Shion jumping on the small building roof and start running. She looks back and see that Seanz is aiming his gun at her so, she use the wind blade, cutting his arm at the
same spot Gura used to.
Seanz falling on the ground in pain. " This is why I hate woman!" He cries.
The remaining soldier quickly follows Shion with their jet pack. And a bizarre chasing of Atlantean and magician began on the building's roof.
….
Roboco landing at the house garden and searching for Gura with her movement's detectors.
Something burst out of the garage so Roboco charging her attack, but Gawr Gura raise both hands in the air as she speaks.
" Wait ! Wait! I have a question." Gura shouts, Roboco didn't react, so she goes on.
"Last time I check. My name are neither John nor Sarah.
So, why did you hunt me? Mrs. Terminator."
" Unable to understand : Proceed extermination." The long blade suddenly appeared from Roboco wrist as she speaks.
"So, you are predator too? Too bad my skull isn't- Woah!"
Before Gura could end her sentence, Roboco suddenly attack with her blade.
Gura could dodge the first attack and push away her opponent for a few times but in the end the blade finally struck Gura shoulder, piercing through her flesh and bone.
"That hurt!" Gura yelled before headbutt the robot, knocking Roboco on her feet.
Roboco quickly get up, but Gura quickly jumping on the wall and kicking her face. She then grabs robot's leg and throw her at the house's wall, making it collapse.
" Not so cool now. Eh?" Gura quickly follows and punching robot face before she could get up, it's hurt Gura hand doing so.
But right now, she needs to ensure her victory first.
As Gura grabs Roboco by her neck, robot's elbow suddenly opens its jet propulsion and she punches Gura with it, send shark girl body flying with a rocket punch.
Gura burst into one two story house that standing not far from there.
She looks around and saw an old lady who silently look at her with displeasures.
Before Gura could talking to her, Roboco rush in with jet propulsion and swinging her blade again, almost cutting Gura head off if she didn't block the attack with her feet.
Roboco grab Gura leg and slamming her body against the wall, making Gura's body burst in the house bathroom.
" Not so cool now. Eh?" Roboco mimic Gura voice as she walks in the bathroom, not hurried to end this fight.
" Don't screw with me!" Gura quickly get up, toilet plunger in hand.
Blade appeared from both Roboco wrists as she swing them around like a fan propeller, cutting anything in its way. Gura crawling on all four like a crouching tiger and moving
zigzag to avoid the attack.
Gura jumping at the ceiling and sinks her finger deep into concrete. She then dropped on top of Roboco head and throwing toilet plunger in her face.
The plunger sucking robot's face and blocks her sensory, forcing Roboco to stop moving and tries to pull the thing out.
Gura jumping at all four and slammed Roboco with her body, sending both crashing back to the dining room again.
Gura is the first who get up, she pick the dining table and slam it on Roboco's head.
The force knocking Roboco on the ground and breaks the table in half.
Gura drag Roboco up and knee attack her chin, sending robot head to burst through the ceiling.
"That's what I am talking about!" Gura snarls at the robot limping body before getting hit in the head by old lady's broom.
"Ouch ! Wait! Wait! I am sorry!" Gura covering her face with both hands as the old lady keep swinging her attack.
Gura jumping away from the fierce attacker and begging for mercy.
"Calm down okay? I will pay for it. I mean Akukin will pay, but it is the same. Right?"
Old lady stop the attack so Gura take that as a good sign.
"That is-" Before she could finish her sentences, the red beam suddenly hit Gura's body and knocking her from the building again, this time she is crashing a solid ground with
nothing reduce the damage.
….
At the other side of the city. Shion is flying with her magic broom and dodging Atlantean's bullet. She looks around and saw Gura falling from the house as Roboco quickly
followed her, they seemed to be very busy with each other.
One Atlantean throws blue rings octopus bomb at her, but Shion just throw it back with her wind magic, the blue dust that appeared as the explosive began make Shion feel
sorry for those Atlantean, just a little.
While Shion losing her focus, Seanz that keep following her shoot the bullet through the building wall. The attack knock Shion out of her broom.
Magician falling through the building roof, Shion is trying to get up but her leg is so hurt that she fall over again and has to use her broom as a cane in order to get up.
One black cat that remind her of aqua running away as Shion stumbles near it, it's seemed that she has been falling into some kind of empty warehouse.
Shion never feel so tire like this, Murasaki Shion. A genius magician from magic forest. Warping on earth by mistake, living as a N.E.E.T. over a decade in her human friend's
house and then get tricks by some old Atlantean king to became a great Magi in his court, missing her friend forever.
She then failed even just one simple duty, bring his daughter back home.
And now Shion is getting stripped from her position, desperately trying to stand in the empty warehouse, fighting alien soldier in an alien planet.
Instead of just learning new magic techniques at home. I shouldn't pick that damn crystal up and try to use portal magic all by myself.
The thought make Shion feel giddy somehow, so she smiles a little as Seanz and surviving Atlantean soldiers rush in the warehouse and aiming their weapons at her.
" Give up already! Shion, there is nothing you can do now." One soldier shout.
Shion agreed. What use of magic power if she couldn't save her friend and ultimately herself?
Shion starting to kneel down as she remember aqua, young women who give Shion shelter and food even though she's just some stranger who falling in her bedroom by a
failed portal magic.
Even if a little bit hot head. She still loves humanity and probably sad if Shion let the Atlantean kill them all.
Her thought running back to Gura. She is also hot head girl who in love with humanity, or at least this planet. Enough to agree with Shion stupid plan of making her become
king of people who literally killed her mother.
If Shion stopped now, she would fail a simple task from her friend, twice.
Shion dropped her broom and smiles, they can strip her title and belittle her, or shoot her from the sky, but they cannot take away Shion magic power.
And she will show them what she can do.
Shion hair start moving without being touch by the wind, her eyes shining as the seven-color magic floating above her head.
" Shoot her!" Seanz shout, aiming a gun with his remaining hand.
Atlantean shoots, but the bullet being stopped by the wind magic around Shion's body.
" My name is Murasaki Shion! A genius magician from magic forest and the great Magi of the Atlantis. I will show you the power of my magic!" Seven color magic merging
together and turn into a white sphere, which falling at the warehouse floor.
"(Micro) Supernova!" Shion yelled.
" Well, sh*t." Seanz has only time to say this before being vaporized as well as other Atlantean soldiers who gather near the warehouse.
The explosion wipes the whole warehouse and everything near it.
When it was over. There is only Shion left standing in the big hole that suddenly appears in the city.
Magician collapsed on the ground, unable to stand any longer.
"Using too much magic..." Shion can only hope that Gura can do better than her, because she has to fight alone, at least until Shion can get up again.
…..
Gura feel like she is being knock out for hundreds of times.
Roboco follows and slammed her body at the wall against, but Gura get up and elbow attack robot girl in her face.
Pushing Roboco back a few meters. Gura jumping to attack again but Roboco shoot red beam out of her eyeglasses, sending Gura's body flying and hit the Alexandria citadel's
wall.
The force made parts of stone wall collapsed as Gura falling on the ground. She gets up and see that the debris is going to fall at family of tourists who trying to run for cover
but unable to move faster than the falling stone. "Crap!"
Gura jumping at the falling thing and hit it with her shoulder, the force sending a big stone to fall in the sea as Gura crashing the ground again.
" Get the hell outta here!" Gura yelled at the hesitate tourists, they quickly running to safety inside the citadel's wall.
Gura get up but something struck her from behind, Roboco shooting a harpoon with cable sling from her hand. The blade sink in Gura flesh as the electric power, enough to
kill an elephant running at her body, making Gura cries from her pain.
"Miscalculated: Requires more of electric in order to eliminate the target." Roboco reported.
"Thanks! But no need for that." Gura pulling the harpoon out of her body and start dragging it with her hand, pulling Roboco closer in a matter of seconds by her strength.
Gura headbutt Roboco again, this time hard enough to crack her eyeglasses.
Roboco wrapping her hands around Gura neck and use jet pack from her boots to send both of them flying in the sky.
When they were hundreds of meters away from the ground. She dropped shark girl body, let her fall and crash the city's road by earth's gravity.
"Damaged body parts: Functions is not working properly: Fixing recommended." Roboco scanning her own body to check for working status.
Gura body filled with pain, making her unable to move. As she fears, without trident of Atlantis, she is unable to do anything.
Hell, even with it, judge by her fight with Chloe.
She can still control some water of course, but every Atlantean knows it requires a lot of practice to using ocean wave attack without weapons, it hard to concentrated and
make user unable to know where to put their power in.
Besides, there is no water here anyways. She is laying down on the city in Africa, one of the hottest places in the world for whatever sake!
Gura crawling at the footpath, at least the different levels of floor might help her getting up, Gura hope she didn't break her spine from the fall.
Red beam blowing Gura body again, sending her to crash with the nearby fire hydrant. "Come on! Man." Gura moaned.
" Target being weaken: Proceed to eliminate." Roboco said, charging her power again.
Gura look at fire hydrant again. This is water, but can she control it?
Shark girl close her eyes and touching the items, feeling the water running not just here but the whole city.
Water is part of life, wherever life goes, water will follow.
Gura get up again, her eyes glowing a red light as water pouring out from the fire hydrant, sewer and everywhere water pipe can go, forming into some kind of hydro power
in the middle of Alexandria.
No need to spinning her trident anymore, Gura start using the fifth ocean wave attack: a tsunami's sword.
Water around her body turn into hundreds of blades that flying at Roboco at the same time. She shoots the beam, desperately trying to destroy the attack.
But the blades keeps coming at her like a migrating bird, cutting her body parts and shattered Roboco eyes glasses before sending her body flying to the sea.
In a few seconds. Roboco body disappeared under the wave, except from the damaged city, there is no trace of her left anymore.
I… Take that as a win." Gura falling on her knee, shark girl vision became blurred and the ground suddenly getting close to her face.
Before the darkness come. Gura think she heard Shion calling for her name.
….
Seal kingdom: Antarctica
Sakamata Chloe
Chloe wait patiently as the sea lion king walking slowly towards his throne, she knows these small kings well.
Everything about them is a long ceremony and house history bragging, a person who stuck in the past instead of looking at their present or future.
Martillo and Tigre is standing near her, they aren't part of discussion.
Just a big-name Chloe bring with her to show this king how serious the situation is.
Everybody in this room has their own weapon but the guard also have their gun, so the king didn't afraid of assassination in his own room. He even brings is wife and their
young daughter with him.
"As you can see, your grace. Penguin clan already join my army.
Along with sea serpents, sea bird and turtle. No need to talk about fishes clan, they are always out for blood.
Only mollusk clan remains neural but that smartass always be like that. We don't need them… Yet." Chloe explained.
" Very interesting." Sea lion king said, sit comfortably on his icy throne.
" It's almost impossible for Atlantean from different clans is being rules by one leader. What do you expect me to do?"
Chloe hides her anger. " Join my army. With this many man, there will be only shrimps people that still support Gawr family. We will crush them in no time and the humans
will be next."
" Very doable." Sea lion king get up from his throne and walking at the center of the room, Chloe follows.
" But I prefer the peace that king Girass left for us, humanity can still improves. If we discuss the issue with them. I believe they will-"
" We. Don't. Have. Time." Chloe snarled.
" They will destroy us and themselves in a few decade, with hell of pollution they create. They still use a f**king fossils fuel! Can you believe that sh *t?" After more than a
centuries of civilizations, they still unable to find a new sustainable way to create energy and now smoking their way and this planet to death.
Humanity reaches dead end, your grace. And they will drag us down with them if we didn't react for their wrongdoing."
" And you are speaking with king in his palace. Prime minister!" Sea lion king shouts.
"As I expect, you are nothing but warmonger who want to lead our kingdom to dooms. Isn't that what you are doing? Make us fight each other and then human.
Then what? Going to kills Leviathan, revenging for your sister perhaps. Your solution is just killing everything in your ways and then call it justice.
You will not get my army to join yours, lad.
I wonder if Girass runaway daughter will be a better king that you do, at least she didn't let her rage consuming her, I suppose."
Chloe pierces the spear through the sea lion king's heart, red blood flying around as he is dying from the wound, his wife and daughter screams.
Two guard quickly moves, but Tigre blows their head off with his water bullet before they could even raise their gun.
"Sometimes, killing is works." Chloe said to the king lifeless body.
Tigre snorted. "Should have done that sooner."
Martillo looks away from carnage in the room, his expression is unreadable.
"There is no point in calling a guard now. They are either dead or surrender to my army." Chloe said to the crying queen and her daughter.
They don't stop crying, which makes Chloe even more furious.
They remind Chloe about her sister. Who crying when getting bitten in the thigh by Greenland shark during one of their swimming.
(Chloe ripped that shark eyes out, but that not the point.)
As a child she thinks it was cute, but by growing up Chloe knows that it was a sight of weakness. And a weakling will be preyed upon by the strong.
If they didn't get better, the world will take their life, as easy as that.
Chloe snatches a crown from king's dead body and put it on his daughter head.
" You are his heir now. Be a good girl and talk with your people, say that your army will follows me wherever I go. Okay?"
Chloe laughs when she saw the hatred in little girl eyes.
" That the spirits! If you think you can kill me then tries it.
Who knows? One days you may be able to. But this day. I will cut you in half, so you better not."
The girl's mother hugs her child and shook her head.
" We will follows your order. Prime minister. I just need more time with… him." She stares at the king's body that start floating in the room, blood pouring from his chest.
Chloe snorted. " Fine by me." She then leaves the room, Tigre and Martillo quickly follows.
While they still walking at the dark corridor, Chloe ask Martillo.
" Upset on something?" Hammer head shark man shook his head.
" Your order is an absolutes. I know that."
" And yet, you let Murasaki Shion run away and keep contacts with Crustacean king. What are you up to?" Tigre quickly point his war fork at Martillo, Atlantean soldiers
suddenly appears and aims their weapon at him.
Martillo spat. " This is what I am up to. Gura may be the land dweller half breed, but at least she knows the meaning of mercy.
Thus, being millions time better king than you do."
" Normally, those who dare to speaks like that will be punished to death. But since I am mercy person. I will keep you alive for a while, at least until you can watch Gura's
death with your own eyes." Chloe chuckled.
As the guard rush in and holding Martillo arms, Chloe ordered.
"Find him a comfortable room. He is a highborn after all." She smiles as him being drag away before start talking with Tigre.
" Send messenger to every clan under my banner. Tell them that storm is approaching, and they can choose which side they will stand with."
Tigre bow and swims away to follows her command.
Chloe smiles, this is a good starts, and who knows how it will end?
