To those who know this. Then you all know what this is about. This all takes place after the events of "Spell Luck" Where we now see how the lives of the former louds are, as they soon become something they did not expect to see coming, a hero group known as the Royal Defenders.

Chapter 309: Blood in the water

(Royal Fortress, South China Sea.)

All forces that are naval have been deployed across the South China Sea to start scanning and tracking.

On board the Royal Fortress are Lincoln, Luna, Dana, Leon, Linka, Sergei, Penny, Jack Cyber and Tadashi.

"Okay, so whatever this thing is arrived here this morning and consumed like 10 fishing vessels, only a few people survived the attack" said Jack Cyber as he checks his scanners on the recent reports.

Linka is using binoculars to scan the horizon and she spots one of their Shogun Battleships deploying scout drones into the water. "Were there any descriptions on what attacked them?"

"Three fisher man reported seeing a large fin, similar to that of a shark" replied Tadashi. He then uses his tablet to check for any patterns in migrations. "I think they saw a Basking Shark or Whale Shark that passed by them after the attack."

"Did they describe the size of the fin?" asked Lincoln as he finishes adjusting his Vulture Bike.

Penny checks the reports from the South East Asian coast guards. "Not much, they were too terrified to give a full description and all they said was (She says something Chinese.)"

They all look towards her confused.

"In English dude" said Luna.

"Oh right!" said Penny. "Translation from their language, they said they saw a large shark fin and that was it. Then they fainted after recalling what it looked like."

They all realize this was bad. "Okay, so we don't have any known info on what we're up against. This could be a problem" said Leon.

Dana then sees Sergei surface from the waters and he tosses his hammer up towards them and he pulls himself up. Sergei can now be able to summon a chain that attaches to his Crimson hammer.

They all go to him. "Anything?" asked Linka.

"No, all I saw were schools of sardines, Tuna and barracudas" replied Sergei. He then recalls the long chain to his hammer. "Whatever we're looking for might not be here, or it could've gone deep."

"I suggest we deploy some of our subs to search for it" said Dana. "They could help find the target faster."

"It's a risky play, but we have to find out what's down there" said Jack Cyber. "Or what was here."

Sergei steps up. "Let me take command of an Akula Sub and its crew, we can search faster under my command."

"Very well, let's go" said Tadashi. Sergei and Tadashi head to the Soviet Naval Shipyard and get all their subs ready.

The others go back to scanning the horizon. "So, why aren't the others coming here again?" asked Leon.

"All of them are busy, plus we're the only ones who might be able to make this mission a long run" replied Linka.

"Jordan, Victor and Martin are finalizing the modifications to the Rosato House renovation then Martin is headed to the other Loudverse to do the same to another Rosato house" replied Lincoln.

"Sam, Peter, Ember and Becky wouldn't fit for this mission. They might overheat the sea or fry all the fish" said Luna. "That and they're setting things up for the Dazzles birthday on Thursday."

"Same goes with Lori, we don't need a volcano to rise up and punch the Pacific Rim. Also Leni is at work" replied Dana. "Carol did say she'll be here soon, she just has to finish her shift at Lynn's Table."

"No clue where Boomer is and we tried to contact Gyro but he's not picking up" replied Linka.

"So, I guess that's why we're chosen for this. Two kids, two teens with ice powers, a Russian Tankist and a German Panzer commander" said Dana.

"Okay, seems understandable. Though I feel kinda powerless without a tank right now" said Leon.

"You got your monster powers dude, don't they adapt to ocean-style standards?" asked Luna.

Leon realizes this. "Yes, yes they do!" He takes off his jacket and shirt. Dana stars at him stripping down. He then dives into the water.

They all look to where he dived. "Took him this long to figure out his powers can help him?" asked Jack Cyber.

"Why didn't he do this earlier?" asked Penny.

"It could've been a whole lot easier if he did this and not his brother" said Luna.

"He looked so hot when he did that" replied Dana feeling turned on.

They all look towards her confused. "Okay, we did not need to hear any of that information" said Lincoln.

They then spot some lights underwater glowing and then disappearing. Then Tadashi comes back to them. "Sergei is in one of the Akula Subs and is leading an underwater pack of six Akula subs. We decided not to resort to Yari Mini-subs or to any of our trained naval combat dolphins."

They then check some of the sonars, scanners and look to the horizon.

"How were you guys able to know something was here?" asked Linka.

"This morning, after Martin and Victor left the Royal Fortress. I went into the lab and saw a report from the scanners that something surfaced from the Marianas Trench and has left the sector at great speed and then ended up in the South China Sea, which then led to the reports coming from their about the fishing vessels. The target we're looking for is larger than a Whale Shark and close to Blue Whale size." said Jack Cyber, he then expands the scanning range of their underwater probes.

"At first we thought it was the Chinese trying to illegally take fish from the Philippine border, but they weren't anywhere near the Philippine sea and we held down all our gun and listened to the attack reports" replied Penny, she checks the sonars and sees the trackers of all the subs and Leon underwater.

"And then it leads to all of us here, we don't wanna bother the rest of the team busy with their own things" said Tadashi, he goes through some reports and also checks social media if anyone got anything and posted it.

They all sighed. This was not what they wanted to hear from them.

"What the heck are we looking for?" asked Linka.

(Underwater.)

Leon prowls through the water and changes from Aswang to Syokoy, which is a mythical Philippine monster of the seas that drags people to their unholy death. Chilling isn't it.

He tracks for anything wrong and then he sees it the floating arm of a man, he looks closely and it has a Chines dragon tattoo. He then uses his communicator. "Guys, I just found the arm of one of the dead fisherman." Then he notices something. "And the blood coming from it looks fresh."

Lincoln: keep alert and keep scouting, it could mean that whatever was here could still be here and also on the hunt.

Then a Hammerhead shark takes the arm and swims off. "And a shark took the arm" said Leon. He then continues to swim around and stays on high alert.

An Akula Sub passes by him and turns off all its lights.

Inside Sergei and the crew checks the scanners. "Easy comrades, let's try and keep our cool while down here."

They then see something on sonar. "Sir, something is on the scanners!"

Sergei checks. He sees a large figure not too far from them. "Could be a pod of whales, or a large school of Tuna. Without those fishing vessels they might as well be on a school vacation. But we can't be too sure!"

Sergei grabs the radio. "Leon, Leon. Do you copy?"

Leon: Yeah I copy, what's up? Found anything?

"Large unidentified object is right in front of us. Fifty five clicks forward and it is large. Scout perimeter and keep alert" replied Sergei.

Outside Leon looks forward. "Okay, will do." He swims ahead and checks. Sergei contacts t Royal Fortress and informs them.

(Royal Fortress.)

Jack Cyber raises the alarm. "All stations! All stations! Large unidentified target has been spotted off the coasted sector and is going to go head onto our subs! All hands on deck and prepare for war!"

All forces stand by and get ready for what it is. The Royal Defenders on board also suit up and get their powers ready.

"Oh yea, this is it!" said Linka, as she activates her mask.

"Whatever is down there is gonna be in a world of hurt!" said Lincoln, as he arms his Shredder Blaster.

"If it's a Kaiju then we got Lynx Superia standing by" said Tadashi. He then spots their Harbinger Gunship in the air and headed to the location.

All the ships out at sea all turn their attention to the location of the target, and they get their weapons loaded and ready to fire.

Dana looks worried. 'Don't do anything stupid Leon.'

(Underwater, clicks away from the Royal Fortress.)

Leon continues to swim ahead, he looks back and sees all the Akula subs trying to catch up. 'Huh, I guess I'm faster than them. They'll catch up, now to see what we're up against.' He continues to swim ahead and he stops, he senses something was there.

Leon looks around and he also looks down, and he sees …. A Barrel Eye fish swimming around.

Then he looks forward and sees what it is. 'Are you fucking kidding me?!' It was a school of Blue fin Tuna, a really large school of Blue fin Tuna. 'Well, this was a waste of time.' Then he gets startled when a sailfish almost impales him.

'What the fuck?!' He sees other Sailfish also doing the same thing, without any fishing vessels taking these fish the predators are enjoying the hunt 'Well, I better get back to the others and tell them false alarm.'

But then he stops and feels, something is wrong. He turns around and looks to the school of Tuna and then large jaws appear and eat the school. 'Holy shit!'

Sergei in the sub spot the large object and it's merged with another. "What the hell is that?" They see Leon's tracker is within the large object and the other large object when they merged. He then grabs his communicator. "Leon, what the hell is going on out there?"

He gets nothing. "Leon? Dude, what is happening?"

All they hear is static. The crew look to Sergei. "Leon?"

Then the alarms blare as the target is headed towards them. "Sir! Target inbound and picking up speed!"

The school of Tuna pass by them. "Turn on the front lights now and arm the torpedoes! I wanna see what this is!" Sergei goes to the front of the sub where the glass is located.

They turn on the front lights and they are met by the large face of a giant shark and Leon on its nose screaming. "Oh shit!" yelled the crew.

Sergei is unhinged and looks sternly. "Brace for impact!"

The colossal shark slams itself to the side of the sub and passes by the others while also hitting them with its tail. When they turned on the lights the shark was stunned and is panicking.

(Royal Fortress.)

"Guys, I got nothing from the flag sub. Sergei's not responding" said Penny.

They all look towards the horizon. "Something is wrong" said Lincoln.

Then they see something being launched out of the water. "What the hell?!"

Then the object lands back into the water and onto its side, it nearly hits one of their Dreadnoughts. "Is that the lead Akula Sub?" asked Linka.

They then hear Sergei. "Contact! We made Contact!"

Luna picks it up. "Dude, what the heck just happened down there?!"

Dana also intervenes. "Where's Leon?!"

"Shark! Giant Shark! More than 200 teeth!"

Their all confused by this. "Did he say shark?" asked Tadashi.

"No shark is that large enough to knock off a submarine" said Penny.

Then Lincoln recalls what he learned from TV. "Megalodon."

Luna looks to her little brother. "What?"

Then they hear communication from the rest of the subs also facing the same thing. Lincoln then sees a large shark fin and so do the others. "Megalodon!"

The shark surfaces with three Akula subs. They all look in shock as this shark jumps out of the water with its jaws wide open, the subs are too durable for it to bite onto them.

"What the hell?!" they all yell.

Dana then sees someone yelling while latched to the nose of the shark. "Leon?!"

Leon screams, then stops and sees them. "Hey guys!" Then he goes back to screaming and the large shark dives back into the water.

They all look into the water and spot the subs surfacing, none of them damaged at all. Their just a bit shaken.

"Holy shit that was terrifying!" said Jack Cyber.

"We have to ready the rest of the fleet to engage that prehistoric monster now!" said Tadashi as he runs back to the bridge.

Lincoln had no clue what to do, they've never faced a massive oceanic monster. "We gotta do something, we gotta take it down otherwise these waters won't be safe for anyone."

"All ships. All ships! Engage. Engage. Engage!" said Tadashi over the radio.

Every naval vessel then opens fire into the water. The Megalodon maneuvers to counter all of their hits, while Leon I still holding onto it. He uses his radio. "Hold your fire! I'm still on this bitch!"

"Everyone stop! We're only gonna make it worse!" said Sergei from his sub. All the ships cease fire. Sergei then goes back to the crew. "Let's get this thing back upright and hunt this thing down!"

The Akula sub reverses its engines causing it to slowly return to its upright position. Sergei then goes back to the radio. "All Akulas, Dive! Dive! Dive!" Alarms go off as all the subs surfacing return into the water.

"Alright! Let's hunt this beast and show it why these subs are called Akula!"

All the submarines then arm their torpedoes. "Fire!" they launch their armaments towards the retreating sea hunter.

The Megalodon gets spooked by a torpedo detonating next to it. From above Assault Destroyers chase it and drop their depth charges onto it, this spooks the shark even more and it turns around.

Sergei sees it coming. "Everyone! Steer Clear!" All the subs move out of the way as the massive shark passes by them and heads straight for the Royal Fortress.

"We can't fire at it, we might hit the base!" yelled Sergei. He then contacts the base. "Guys, it's coming your way!"

Penny puts the radio down and they look to the water and see some movement and it is fast. "Open fire!" yelled Jack Cyber.

All the coastal guns bombard the shark coming towards them. Leon is still on it and calls them. "What part of, "I'm still on this bitch!" Do all of you don't understand?!"

They continue sending all their weaponry against the beast. Lincoln arms his blaster and sends icicle rounds into the water, Luna and Dana do the same and Linka fires stun bullets.

Penny sends out a barrage from her blade array and Jack Cyber fires out a particle cannon.

Underwater the Megalodon panics and picks up speed, then an icicle projectile hits its head near Leon. "Shot that was close!"

The Megalodon then gets near the Royal Fortress and bumps its back onto the underside.

The whole base starts to shake as the shark impacts it. "Hold on!" yelled Dana.

All the jets can't leave the runway with this kind of movement.

Then Lincoln falls off the rails and into the water. Luna sees this. "Lincoln!"

Lincoln surfaces but he feels some pain on his right arm. When he fell he tried to hold onto the sides of the base, but grazes his arm and some blood is dripping. It then hit him. "This is bad!"

With his blood in the water, the apex predator then turns around and bumps again onto the back of the Royal Fortress. Everyone on board is shaken and rattled by this again.

Lincoln knows it's coming, so he uses his shredder blaster to move away from the fortress and into open water and away from the shark. He then dives into the water and looks for the shark and he sees it coming at him at Mach speed!

Lincoln then moves to the side, pulls out a knife and latches onto the shark's dorsal fin.

Luna looks around the waters. "Where is he?!"

"He fell in! What the heck?!" yelled Linka.

Jack Cyber scans the waters. "He's there!" He points to a fast moving object visible from the water current, then they see the fin surface and Lincoln attached to it and trying to hold his breath. He then activates his masks as it dives in.

"Lincoln!"

Linka tries to aim but it was too late. "Oh come on!" The fin goes back into the water.

Luna then takes action and gets some distance. Dana sees this. "Luna, what are you doing?!" The other also notice this and they know what she's up to.

"Luna, you don't even know how to even kill that thing!" said Jack Cyber.

"None of our depth charges could even damage that beast even if they got close" said Tadashi.

Luna smirks. "I don't need to kill it!" She then has ice claws ready. "I just need it to bleed!" She then runs, leaps off the rails and lands into the waters.

She opens her eyes and looks around. She doesn't see anything, the shark is too occupied that there is blood nearby but it's on top of its fin so it's confused and swimming out of control.

The ships above the water are hit by the shark but they don't capsize, they were given orders not to engage. One of the heroes is on that thing, oh and Leon is still on that thing.

Luna then gets a crazy idea. She uses her ice claws to make a small cut to her arm and some blood seeps into the waters.

Then Luna sees it. 'Gotcha bitch!' She readies her claws as the shark swims towards her.

Lincoln sees his sister in front at the sharks kill zone."Luna! No!"

Luna then swims out of the way and lands her claws onto the side of its gills. The shark panics from the pain as it tries to knock her off, Luna almost loses her grip but she latches on and then climbs it with one hand and letting the other one drag it's ice claws onto the sharks skin, making it bleed.

From the surface, they all see some red in the water. "I hope that's not from Lincoln or Luna." said Dana.

Then they all spot a very familiar airship above them. "Boomer?!"

The airship contacts them. "Hey guys, what did we miss?" asked Carol.

"Carol? You're up there too?" asked Linka.

"I am, just finished my shift so I got a lift from Boomer" replied Carol.

"We came as fast as we can, then I realized I can chrono warp my airship. So what's the situation?" asked Boomer.

"Giant Shark in the water!" they all yell.

"What?!" yelled Boomer and Carol.

Then Carol gets an idea, she then changes her ammo to concrete piercing. "We have to get it to surface! I can take it out from up here!"

"I can try and lower the airship, but I am not getting any lower than 25 feet!" said Boomer.

Underwater, Luna climbs up the shark and makes it to the fin. She then holds her brother's hand. "Luna?!"

She then sits next to him and slams her claws onto the back next to the dorsal fin. Luna sees the cut on his arm and she uses her ice powers to patch it up, sehe then hugs her brother and he hugs her back. 'Hang on bro!'

Lincoln then gets a call from his mask. "Lincoln, this is Linka. You have to try and get that thing to leap out of the water! We have a plan!"

Lincoln then looks to Luna and touches her face, Luna notices this and looks to her brother. He then motions her about the head of the shark. He then points upwards.

Luna understands, she creates two ice daggers and hands them to Lincoln. They then claw their way to the front of the shark when they reach the head they see Leon still attached and he waves at them.

Luna kicks him off the shark. 'Rude much!'

Luna and Lincoln then stay still onto the shark, and they see the eye looking at it.

Lincoln readies his blaster and points it towards the top of head and Luna summons an ice spear. They then shoot an icicle round and pierce it and it panics.

Luna then steers the shark using the impaled ice spear, this causes the shark to panic and Lincoln uses his blaster to harden the ice attached to the shark and the spear.

To help spook the shark, Sergei's Akula sub fires a torpedo and it detonates underneath the Megalodon.

Above the water, they all see something big and dark coming up. "Incoming!" yelled Tadashi. Carol and Linka arm their guns.

The waters breach out as the massive creature leaps out of the water and is directly underneath the airship scaring Boomer. "Holy fucking shit!"

Luna then grabs Lincoln as the shark is in the air and they jump off.

Carol takes a deep breath and she pulls the trigger and so does Linka. They then fire their concrete piercing round and high explosive round.

Carol's bullet enters the hole the spear was impaled and Linka's bullet enters the eye and the whole Megalodon detonates like a cow getting killed by a bazooka. Was that mean of me to say that?

Lincoln and Luna land into the water, they then surface and hit the deck when shark parts start to rain down onto them. "Whoa! Way too close!" said Lincoln.

Luna goes over to him and checks on him. "Are you okay bro?! Anything else hurt?!"

Lincoln chuckles and hugs Luna. "No, no I'm fine. Only my arm, but you took care of that."

Luna kisses his forehead and hugs him back. "As long as your safe bro, as long as you're safe!" She then sheds some tears and smiles.

Lincoln also sheds some tears. That was scary and also scarring.

Then they spot Sergei's Akula sub surfacing with Leon on top. "Shit that was scary!" The sub heads towards them. Sergei comes out.

"Hey kids! We should get you guys out of there, this place will be prowling with sharks soon" said Sergei.

Lincoln and Luna swim their way back to the sub.

On the Royal Fortress they all sigh in relief. Linka looks up to Carol in the airship and salutes to her, Carol nods in return.

Jack Cyber, Tadashi and Penny look at the bits of meat from the Megalodon.

"So, what does this mean now?" asked Tadashi.

"This means that we have to setup operation subside and dive into action" said Jack Cyber.

"I'll contact the Oceanic Biology team and inform them, they'll have a reason to explore the Marians trench some more after hearing this" Penny goes off to the communications room.

Jack Cyber watches as the fleet and the subs return, along with Leon, Sergei, Lincoln and Luna. He then looks to the waters and sees some sharks starting to feast on the Megalodon's scattered meat. 'Martin and Victor are not gonna like this. I should also inform the Guardian, we got a prehistoric underwater empire to explore soon'

He then sees Lincoln getting some medical treatment from Sergei and Luna. 'Neil and Gwen aren't gonna like this either.'

To be continued …..

A/N: And that's how you kill a beast from the depths, I got this idea after watching "The Meg" again, still so cool and a bit scary. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
