The moment he heard the knocking on the door, Ryoken knew the others were onto him. He could easily take control over them using his singing. However, he didn't want to do so in front of Yusaku so he simply choose to leave. The window wasn't too far from his reach when he leaned his whole body out. Once he grabbed the frame, it took only a simple flip and he was outside.

As he was falling down, he heard something that caught his attention.

"Your highness?"

Since the clever dolphins along with the other fish prepared a net, he didn't make too much noise when his body hit the water.

After he thanked them, they scattered in different direction while he himself stayed around for a bit longer before heading back to Atlanta.

...

Kiyoshi was in the middle of a discussion with his royal subject when he heard the news, a ship withstood Ryoken's siren voice. The informer didn't point it out directly but from all the clues, he understood his son stopped midway.

"Did something happen? Or did he saw something?"

It was then, the worst situation popped into his head. For seven long years, Ryoken had sealed his voice away. He had only unsealed recently because of what happened to Spectre. Kiyoshi saw the look in his eyes. He really meant it when he said he wouldn't stop untill every humans on this earth perished. But he let this one ship go. That could only mean one thing. It was either the person he had been waiting for finally shown up and decided to stop him or one of the humans on that ship was the one he fell for.

Just think about those possibilities made his blood bold. Reaching his hand out, he grabbed the trident. Next thing they knew, it started to glow as an enormous shockwave was released. He intended to finish what his son failed to do.

...

Ryoken was already half way back home when something important struck him. He hadn't told Yusaku how he really felt yet.

Hugging his face, he felt so stupid. He waited for that person for seven years and when the chance came, he totally forgot about it. After a moment, he calmed down and decided to return to where the ship was. Even if Yusaku ended up hating him after everything he committeed, he still the teen to know, that's all it matters.

Just as he turned back, he saw a bunch of fish was coming his way. They swam right pass him not giving him a glance, even the sharks. It was like they were running from something. He found it strange but soon, he too, noticed something abnormal in the current. Quickly swam up to the surface, he took a look. It was worse than he thought. A storm was raging on the sea. However, it wasn't any normal storm. This one was created by the trident, he was sure of it.

Going under the surface, he used his maximum speed and headed toward the ship.

The moment he arrived, a bolt of lighting struck down, cutting the ship in the half. An undescribable feeling raised up inside him as he swam under the ship remains and started looking around. When he saw Yusaku sinking down futher, he headed straight there. However, the moment he was about to reach the teen, he was slashed on the side by a sharp sword. The one who did it was the captain of the guards which came along with him. He did it since he thought Ryoken was trying to attack the prince.

Even so, Ryoken didn't back down. He grabbed Yusaku, hugged him tight then swam to land.

By the time they reached shore, the storm had passed and the sun once again graced them with its warm sunlights. Pulling both himself and Yusaku onto the white sand, Ryoken started to tremble. He lost so much blood that his face had started to turned pale. Yet, that was not his concern right now. That person, he wasn't breathing.

Pushing himself up, he pulled himself on top of Yusaku and gave him a kiss, delivering air down his throat at the same time. When he pulled away, water escaped the young prince's mouth as he coughed. He only stopped when all the water was out. After that, Ryoken returned to the sea as he heard voices from afar. Little did he knew Yusaku was awakened and was reaching his hand out while his weak voice got overpower by the sound of the wave.

"Don't go..."

...

After all his efforts, Ryoken finally managed to get under water again. Yet, his movement was slow as his wound continued to bleed. His eyesight got blurrier and blurrier untill finally, everything turned dark.
