Manta Moving Castle : North Pacific Ocean
Gura & Co.
" Sink that island of sh*t for me!" Tigre bellows, commanding all of his troops to start blasting at the island while Gura is still discussing strategy with other
ministers in the war room.
" My friend just told me that humanity will hold off their super giant laser gun for a while. Giving us some time to figures how to end this invasion of slime
B-Grade movie scenario. Any idea?" Shark girl asked, pressing both arm on the table just to make a point.
Itsuka cleared her throat. " Our scientists are working with everything we have to find a way to eliminate this microorganisms rampant.
But since there aren't any luck yet. We have to do the basic math instead."
" Which is?" Amelia frowned, trying to guess shark lady's idea.
" Scylla said that the behemoth will born when those organisms finally collect enough mass to start forming into… I don't know egg or womb or whatever
that the thing wishes to birth from. So if we don't want it to being born-"
" Then we must prevent it from forming together!" Amelia clapped her hands in excitement. " Like what your father are doing, right?
Blowing them into bits probably slowing Behemoth birthing process at least a little!"
" Your friend has a good braincells." Itsuka admired, causing Gura to snorted.
" You will doubt that when seeing her tripped on banana peel, but whatever."
" Now that we have softened them up for a bit. I think it's time for our troops to marching inside. Focus on ripping them apart and prevent those slime
from fusion together." Crustacean king advised.
" Nice idea! Preparing our jets and light cavalry!"
…
" Everyone that still did not get your sidearms. Visiting armory sixth to get that before our marching!" Holf's voices filled the Manta moving castle's halls
as ten thousands of Atlantean are scurrying around for the task to do. Each wearing their family's hoodie which served as an armor as well as uniform
before they will start grabbing their personal weapons from their bunkers.
Mostly are swords and spears and war forks, thought some from great white shark family have enjoyed the luxury of holding their own tridents.
But since this war is not some ritualistic one or friendly match between Atlantean kingdoms. Everyone need long range weapons too.
All soldiers must be heavily armed before they will going for a war that will decided the fate of their home forever.
At the armory sixth. The sea otter king is handing every soldiers the newest gun in the stores. From the mantis shrimp hammer gun that can unleashed
temperature of the sun's surface just by pulling the trigger, bubbles gun that evolved from snapping shrimp pincers that can blast through almost everything
in the world, tiger shark fish tooth gun that being upgrade to use as a long range chainsaw by computer on the gun's stock, toward the electric eel ray gun
that can be used both as a radar and weapon that can grilling enemy alive.
The otter just finished handing first set of guns when the trouble starting to brew in the form of blonde human in brown coat who standing in the line and
reaching her hands upfront as if she is one of the frontline soldiers. Her eyes look somewhat like baby otter at his home.
" Sorry Ms… Ame? Our guns are for the Atlantean soldiers only." Otter king said, barely remembering this human's name because she is Gura's friend.
The girl pouted. " Not fair! I wanted one of those fancy Atlantean guns too! We are all in this fight together, you know?"
" Yeah. But." "Or you want me to tell Gura that I doesn't get even basic equipment before risking my life out there! She gonna be pleased!"
" Then why don't you stay behind…! You know what? Take this!"
Otter king sighed and pulling one high-tech looking gun out of the store, setting the trigger in universal mode for this human to use.
" This is Atlantean prototype 'eight barrels' multipurpose rifle. You can tapping the switch at the left side of the barrel to changed the weapon's mode.
It can shoot 1,000 round of shark tooth, octopus modified ink, bubble bullets, lamprey gel, electrical bolts, sting ray poisonous spear, one-time-used pincers
and hydrothermal chemicals explosive rounds.
It is not supposed to out in the field yet. But since you have that strange 'time' power. I supposed that you will have plenty of time to run if the gun happens
to overheat and explode."
" Wait! What?" Amelia who practices aiming with the rifle jerks, before she will quickly tossing the weapon back to the otter king.
Who grabbed it and laughing.
" Just kidding! We still unable to find a way to mass produce this thing yet, that's it!"
" You almost giving me a heart attack!" Ame complained, taking the gun with her and then literally disappeared in front of Otter king, almost make his heart
stops.
" This is why I hate magic user!" He complained.
The next one has more familiar face but not less trouble. Scylla who somehow get out of the prison has now swapped back to her lobster hoodie and reaching
four hands forward. Begging for gun.
" Girl, I am not sure you supposed to get the weapon. Not after all treason you just did."
Scylla bite her lips. " Everything I did. I have done for the sake of protecting our ocean! Now that the destruction is await in front of us and you want me to
stay rotten in jail? No way in hell!"
Sea otter king look at the niece of Crustacean king eyes for a while. The girl is arrogant fool and hot head youngling. But not a liar.
" Every Atlantean service weaponry must be linked to the user DNA so that no one can sold them in black market later. If I gave you one of them.
Tons of guards will be here in a minute and captured both of us in the deepest jail for sure." He sighed.
" But I…!" " Which is why I gonna give you my personal weapon." Sea otter king pulled one mace that is no bigger than big candy out of his pocket before
swinging the 'activated' mode. Turning the thing to be three times bigger and have energy spike growing out of it.
" This is otter clan's 'smasher' weapon. Upgrading from the technology that first otter used to crack shellfish open with stone.
But this one has been designed to smashed the spaceship outer layers armor though. Use it with caution when you sneaking out there and…"
" You have nothing to do with this. I know." Scylla nodded, before she will disappeared into the dark corridor.
Otter king wondered if he just making a mistake or not before he will shrugged. Atlantean will need every hands they got in order to survived this war.
One more volunteer wouldn't hurt anyone in a time like this.
…
Council POV
" We are playing tower defense game right now! Any suggestion?" Baelz asked, holding joystick very tight as she saw thousands of Atlantean light cavalry
marching toward the unfinished Behemoth's lair. She need to slowing them down long enough for the slime island to finally collected enough mass to giving
birth to Fauna's 13th beast.
Something that cannot be done if those fish folks keep bombing the island with their torpedoes and laser beams.
" Don't worry, Bae. Now that it has become team game. More option will be available for players like us." Kronii chuckled, placing half eaten sandwich on the
table before she will snapped her finger.
" Phase 2. Start!"
…
Gura & Co.
" You know that there is a thin line between bravery and stupidity right? Even I didn't always lead the frontline battle during most of my war."
Tigre frowned upon seeing that Gura has swimming passed his commands center. Trident ready in hands for a fight.
" This is our home, Tigre. If the king of Atlantis cannot leading the soldiers to defending it herself. She might as well as running away from the threat."
Gura chuckled, before turning to look at Amelia and Ina'nis who swims beside her, Atlantean gun and tentacles flashing for the upcoming battle.
" But this is not you guys war, though. Why not waiting behind at the war room with Itsuka and Shyliy?"
" Wherever you are. We will be there too. That's what friendship is
all about." Amelia replied, reloading her Glock 40 just in case that she need a secondary weapon.
" And our space, time magic may useful to you during the fight. I would rather go there than sitting in some meeting room and watch you risking your life."
Ina'nis added.
" You guys…" Gura holding both Ame and Ina's hands in silence. Tigre admit that he did not expected such courage from what he knows about human.
It's called friendship, probably like how Crustacean king are acting unwise around Girass and his heirs.
Before he could comment anything, however. Gura letting her friend go before she will swimming upward. The Bloop gliding from behind to let the shark girl
stands on it before she will turning to faced the line of Atlantean army.
" Enough with drama, folks! Let's protect our ocean!" Shark girl roared, rising her trident as a signal for every Atlantean soldiers to march on.
"""""""" Let's go!""""""""" The Atlantean army bellowed, before they will charge forward, following the Tunapedo, Baracuda missiles and dive bombing
sting ray jets by riding on their own mounts sea creatures. From shark and turtle to giant fishes and genetic engineering whale.
Some even decided to go with their starfish moving fortress which can blasting energy beam out of its five arms.
" Woohoo!" Amelia cries, jumping on Shartson's back and swimming forward while Ina'nis riding the Ebi-chan shortly after.
Leading by Gura who raised her trident and using fifth ocean waves.
Sending hundreds of water blades to strikes at the crumbling slime in front of them. Prevent the island of goo from forming together.
The red and yellow eyes that attached to the bigger chunk of the island start blasting red lightning at the marching army, forcing them to stopped and deploy
sea pen energy absorbing rod that is very similar to the human's lightning rod. Causing the spark of crimson bolts to running toward the direction of the sea
pen instead of the moving army.
Leaving enough opening for the squadron of humboldt fighter jets to carpet bombing the eyes away, creating an opening for the soldiers to carry on their
tasks.
" There is a movement from the island!" Tigre warned into the army intercoms. The cuttlefish hologram board on the war table showing that there are more
than hundreds of slime monster separate itself from the whole island, each swimming toward the Atlantean soldiers with incredible speed,
spitting acid and throwing pieces of man-made debris at the Atlantean shortly before the first line of both armies will finally crashed,
sending pieces of broken ship, chunk of slime and melting animals to scattering all over the place.
" Who wanna take my shot first? You!" Amelia laughing hysterically, blasting her eight barrels gun like a maniac and sending eight kinds of bullets to blowing,
electrolyzed, gluing and cutting any slime that get closer enough. While Ina'nis halting her Ebi-chan and start moving both hands in octagonal shapes,
bending the space between each slime and forcing them to clutching together. Before Gura will ramming at them with fourth ocean waves.
Biting into the slime with giant hydro great white shark that crunching the slime as if it were a bucket of meat.
" Drop the the electromagnetic bombs!" Sea serpent queen slither through the crashing armies long enough to putting some kind of mining bomb at the edge
of the crumbling slime island. Sending electric shock that making those slime breaking into even a smaller piece.
" Don't let the emperor unprotected!" Crustacean king roared, using sharp scissors in all of his eight arms to slashing every slime monster that trying to
surround Gura from behind, sending some of the commando mantis shrimps unit to start forming in diamond shaped formation around Gura and her buddies,
hack and slash everything that seems harmful to their shark emperor.
" Isla! Does our labs get anything that can kill those slime for good yet?" Tigre barked into the intercom. Getting his daughter yelped in response.
" Nothing in mass scale. I think there are some kind of key that activated those microorganisms inside every one of them DNA.
We are currently trying to reversed engineering it to getting more info. And for the last time! My name is Itsuka!"
" Nothing useful then. Shooting more explosive rounds! Aimed far from our troops!" Tigre barked, watched as hundreds of high explosive kingfish round flying
across the air and blowing the back side of the slime island, collapsing their last tower.
While aren't win yet. At least we are reaching the stalemate. As long as we keep bombing them. Nothing should go wrong. Tigre concluded.
But as like everything else in the universe. Thing are about to go wrong in a few minutes.
…
Gawr Gura
Gura lowering herself as one ray-shaped slime monster ramming toward her. Shark girl controlling Bloop to swimming downward as she raised her trident
high, forming the water blade big enough to cleaving the slime in half as Gura and her Megalodon is two meters underneath it.
Around them, the table of the battle has clearly turning in Atlantean favor. Some soldiers may being sucked into the black goo or being grilled by the red
lightning, of course. But most of them can get through it with only minor injuries and dirty clothes.
Even Poe seems to not taken any kind of damage after she has returned from her deep diving bomb planting with her beaked whales( type of whale that look
somewhat similar to giant dolphin. Barely known by human because they always living in deep water.)unit. Finally sinking The whole island down for good.
" Ame! Are you alright?" Gura cry out, still seeing Ina and Ebi-chan grappling with one big ass slime but unable to see Watson anywhere nearby.
" Still daijobu! Just stopped time and swimming around to check on the situation. But what are those guys tho?" Amelia and Shartson swimming above
Gura's head. Pointing toward the block of slime that cluster together for a moment, before it will open itself up, revealing the whole graveyard of sea
creatures that being piles together. Some having only bone remains. But most are half melting or even having full body covering in black slime.
More importantly, those carcass slowly lifting itself up. Swimming with haunting zombie-liked manners toward the Atlantean army.
" Was that some kind of hostages? No! All of that creatures are already dead. What is their goal exactly?" Gura questioned after closing her eyes for a
moment to listening to those creature signs of life like heartbeat or electricity but finding none.
" Whatever the case. We will just blasting them into bits just for good measure. Prepare the Manta hydro power cannons!"
Tigre yelling through the intercoms. Making the soldiers inside the Manta moving castle start scrambling to charging the enormous gun inside the
Manta's mouth. Ready to shooting it at the hoard of zombie sea creatures.
" But man, I never know there are so much whale in our ocean! There must be thousands of them clutching together there." Amelia comments,
pointing toward the swarm of whales in different species that piling on top of each other in the black goo.
From white beluga to the sei whale and right whale. There are even a dot of porpoise here and there throughout the army of those zombie whales.
Amelia wondered if Mother Nature is some kind of whale fan or something because the slime she unleashed to this world seems to collected them
in the best conditions they could possibly do.
" Wait! You said that those lumps of flesh are whales?" Tigre asked, squinting his eyes to see the better detail on the hologram table inside the war room.
" Yep, what is it?" Amelia questioned.
" Not too long ago. Moenaomii showed us that whale can perform some kind of sonar attacking that can shutting down our weaponry systems and hurting
us at the same time." Gura elaborated.
" Yes, and?" Ina'nis asked.
" Moenaomii working with Mother Nature to destroying our empire. Presumably using her knowledge." Poe added.
" …And there is an army of whales over there." Crustacean king shook.
"" Oh sh* t!"" Gura and Tigre have time to said that just before every whales in front of them will screaming sonars at top of how their bodies could capable
of. Sending a wave of sonic attacking that gave every Atlantean a super headache.
" Blast them up!" Tigre commanded. But the hydro power cannon flicker and dies before it could even been fired.
" It's no use, sir! Our systems are fry!" The captain of the manta moving castle reported, before darkness will suddenly consumed the castle and every
Atlantean spaceships after they have been crippled by whale's sonar. The mighty fleet of the Atlantis start sinking like a damaged ships.
Trapping most of their soldiers inside.
…
Council POV
" Aha! Take that, fish faces! I almost forget that they are weak against whale noise has you not reminded me!" Baelz clapping her hands in excitement,
finally able to relaxed her fingers after being forced to punching the joystick 'square' button like a maniac for a while in order to rebuilding the slime island
before the whole thing could crumbling down by Atlantean's assault for a while.
Fauna smiles sweetly. " Glad to be able to help. This is my secret card against Atlantean after all. And to add insult to the injury…"
Mother Nature snapped her fingers. Immediately causing some of the slime to forming into a dozen of 20 meters height pillars.
" What's that?" Mumei asked. Pointing at the screen questioningly after seeing the pillar spread open, revealing hundreds of red tentacles that start blooming
around the corner of the remaining island. Before every one of them will start charging up, releasing an electric pulse that covers hundreds of miles range
around the island of slime within a few second.
" Anti-Atlantean vision. With the right level of electricity. You can make all of them blind. Now that there equipment also has been shut down by whale's sonic
attack…"
" They are unable to see anything and have almost no way to fighting us back!" Baelz quickly grabbing the joystick.
" Thank you, Fauna! I will wreck them in no time!"
…
Gawr Gura
" Man, sh*t went from 1 to 100 real quick!" Shark girl exclaimed, stunning when the sonic waves suddenly rushing through her brain.
But before she could using fifth ocean waves to cutting those zombie whales in pieces, the new attack has already arrived in the form of electric pulse that
suddenly occurred.
Consuming Gura inside the absolute darkness.
" Wait, who turned off the light?" Shark girl exclaimed, waving her trident around panicky but unable to see anything with her eyes even after she tried to
raised her bioluminescence level at its highest.
"" What do you mean? "" Amelia and Ina'nis asked, wondering why Gura eyes and hair suddenly glowing blue light as she is stumbles around on
Megalodon's back like a blind person.
" Wait, you guys didn't notice? Everything went dark. And my head is killing me!" Gura moaned, clutching her head as she is trying to looking for Ame and
Ina but failed.
" No. Things seem normally enough for us. There is some loud sound from those whales. But that's it." Amelia frowned, suddenly realized that not just Gura.
Every Atlantean soldiers around her seems to moving around in panic mode. Crashing into each other or firing their weapons blindly before their ship and
fighter jets will suddenly dies down, falling into the deep water like marine snow even while its owner are trying their best to ejected themselves
out of the spacecraft without success.
Most of those who riding sea creatures aren't in better shape either. Since the sonic waves from zombie whales seems to make almost every sea creatures
twisting in pain. Some shaking off their owner down while the rest simply moving backward.
Withdrawing from the battlefield and leaving blinded Atlantean at the mercy of slime monster, which start devouring the soldiers that almost unable to fight
back due to the fact that their heads are really hurt and they cannot see the slime that is closer than one meters away from their faces.
" Oh no!" Amelia exclaimed, trying to fired her Atlantean fancy gun before she will realize that the weapon system has been shut down too.
Detective quickly hanging the gun on her back and pulling her Glock 40 out, shooting at the slime in order to prevent them from eating the Atlantean around
her but not so successfully.
" Gura! Tell everyone to retreat now! We are getting massacred!" Ina'nis yelled at Gura who still turning around in confusion,
oblivious to the big tentacles slime that rushing toward her from above even after Ina'nis has blasted the thing into pieces with her tentacle cannons.
" Which way?" Gura asked, patting the Bloop back and urging it to moving somewhere else. Anywhere but here.
To Ina'nis surprised. The Bloop actually swimming toward the right direction, which is away from the striking slime army.
While Ebi-chan priestess is riding seem completely blind and need her to dragging its antenna in the direction she need it to go.
Similar to Shartson who seems to know of where to go without Amelia's guidance.
" There must be something special about the sharks! They seem to find a way without problems!" Ina'nis shouted, seeing that those Atlantean who ride on
their sharks seem to managed to avoided being eaten by the slime monster somehow.
One man who riding on genetic engineering thrasher shark even managed to slicing three slime into pieces with his pet's tail blades.
Though Ina'nis not sure if it was from animal's own instinct or its owner commands.
" Shark? Except for good nose and poor eyesight. They only got…" Gura thinking for a moment. " Electroreception and lateral line!"
Shark girl yelled, releasing her own electric pulse and suddenly seeing the whole world again. Or rather, sensing it through her electrical sense instead of
eyes.
" Every Atlantean who is not descent from shark clans! Go finding shark as quick as possible! And those who are. Using electroreception!
You can see through the enemy's pulse with it!"
The Atlantean soldiers start forming together and swimming backward, whistling for the remaining shark pets to help them retreat while those who can see
start striking back. Pushing the slime back with their attack despite the fact that a crying from whale zombies still threaten to ripping their brains apart.
" Our equipment aren't working! The enemy sonar has jamming most of our abilities! I suggested full retreat at the moment!"
One of the general yelled to be heard over the confusion of the battlefield, causing Gura to gritted her teach. Clearly 'seeing' that the slime island start
rebuilding itself again. Gaining half of what they already lose in no time.
" Retreat! We will get them next time!" Gura shouted, before she will riding the Bloop back along with Ina'nis and Amelia.
Causing the Atlantean army to start retreating too. Some tries using third ocean waves to creating a water barrier that will block the slime while the rest are
high tail out of the battlefield as fast as possible.
" Enemy on the left flanks!" Crustacean king barks, crushing two slime with his massive pincer in order to prevent them from attacking his retreating soldiers.
The old lobster can sensing the enemy through their stinky odor but of course it is not as good as shark electroreception.
Especially now that there are so many slime monsters attacking him at the same time.
Some kind of acid melting his organic armor while Crustacean king is being smashed into something solid.
Maybe a rock or shipwreck that being pulled into those creepy slime body. Knocking a wind out of old lobster and pinning him on the ground.
So this is the end of me? Being eaten by some garbage consuming microbe? Not what I expected when younger TBH.
Something smashing through the slime and reaching for him. Crustacean king could not see the newcomer since he is technically blinded by the electric
pulse. But that smell seems familiar…
" Scylla! Why are you here?" He rasped, hearing a sound of slime being smashed as his niece is moving toward another target.
Was she using some kind of sledgehammer to wreck those things? Good!
" Just doing what I want to do from the start." Scylla chuckled, repeatedly bashing something he couldn't see.
" Defending our homeland!" With a loud, cracking sound. The lobster girl finally stop whatever she is doing and start panting heavily.
Maybe the weapon she currently used is not suit for her after all.
"Remind me to giving you a pincers gun after we reach Manta Moving Castle. You crime will being judged accordingly.
But I guessed that your present is needed for now!" Crustacean king laughed, pulling himself up with the help of niece he cannot see right now.
" Don't get your hope up, old man." Scylla chuckled. " There are dozens more of them coming to our ways.
Help me smash our ways out before we will talk about our future next!"
…
Unite Nation Against Extraterrestrial Assault ( U.N.A.E.A.) meeting
Prague : Czech Republic
Ozora Subaru
On the big screen, everyone in the meeting could clearly see that the Atlantean army is losing. Their mighty fleet sank like a rock while the island of slime
is continues to rebuilding itself. Becoming even bigger with five skyscrapers sized pillars growing from it this time.
" We have seen the results of your friends effort. Unfortunately, I must concluded that we need to use ' Shiva's Rage' at the target as soon as possible.
Prepare the firing operation and make sure to lock target at the right direction." The head of US department of defense concluded before he will ordered
the generals to start the operation.
Subaru bite her lips in frustration, but she is unable to find a words to convinced everyone to not using it by now. Not after the massive loses in front of
UN eyes.
…
North Pacific Ocean
Gura & Co.
After prying the gate of Manta Moving Castle open in order to let Tigre and everyone else swimming out. It was time for them to finally talked about their
plans.
" With our lab not working under the sonar attack radius and our troop temporary blinds. I suggested that we moving back as far as possible from the island.
To test its range of attacking and searching a way to counter it." Tigre suggested, drawing a rough map on the sea floor's sand for everyone to get the idea.
Gura shook her head. " We know how to stop it. Using shark only unit and striking their weapons down. It will be risky but not impossible to do."
" With what exactly? Most of our weapons are fried and our people are half blinded against them. Hell, we does not have enough shark for our soldiers to
mounts. And even if we had. Getting close to those sonar waves without being knock out is not that easy. You know that well." Poe objected.
Orca girl is now blinded and being forced to use her echolocation ability to seeing things.
" At least we got to start somewhere." Gura insisted. " Now that we know shark can sense through their pulses.
I will traveling back to calling for natural sharks help. Assuming that there are any that survived those slime attacking."
" I got some idea." Itsuka said, lifting her head up from the physical copy of lab information she could find.
" What is it?" Tigre asked, petting his tiger shark as he is waiting for his daughter answers.
" The enemy use whales sonar against us. And that attack has some unknown frequency that hurt Atlantean brains and stop our technology from working.
Without lab I cannot pin point the right frequency and how to counter it. But perhaps natural world has answer for our problems."
" Like what?" Gura frowned, trying to understand.
" Think about it, Gura. The enemy using whale sonars to attacking us. What if we used our whales sonar attacking them back? Poison against poison.
Like that episode of Sailor Moon you and I watched."
Gura nodded. " Sound nice! How many whales left in our army?"
Poe who stroking the injured beaked whale that resting on the nearby corals reef shook her head. " Counting those who has not being killed or too injured
by slime monster from our earlier war? Maybe 150 or so. Not nearly enough."
" But Atlantean from whale clan can communicate with whales, right? Can you and your soldiers calling them for us?" Crustacean king asked.
One of his arms went missing during the fight. But the old lobster still refuses to rest. Scylla leaning next to him and holding otter club tightly in her grips.
Being pardoned from her crime at the moment.
" Maybe. But our voice aren't going that far without microphones. And as you already know, all our tech are as useful as pieces of junk by now."
Orca girl sighed.
" Wait. You guys said microphone right?" Amelia asked, pulling her phone out of the detective pocket.
" This one using human technology. It probably not being affected by whale sonar. Can you do something with it?"
Tigre never know before that one day he will be this thankful to have human's aid.
" It was better than nothing. That's for sure."
" Wait. It can still be used to contact other human, right?" Poe asked, causing everyone to looking at her.
" Within service range, yes. What do you want?" Amelia frowned.
Poe smiles. " Calling my big sister. She know someone that can help spreading our message!"
…
Gura swimming into the dark and empty ocean. The blue water that used to teeming with life are now incredibly empty.
It probably have something to do with black slime that spread out like a pandemic, covering water surface and blocking the sunlight from reaching ocean.
As Gura glancing around. She gasped when seeing thousand of fishes and other sea creatures that sticking out of the floating slime.
Mixing with human wastes and debris. Nothing seems to moving or wanting to attack Shark girl yet. But the grim sight reminding Gura how dire the situation
actually are.
Nevertheless Gura closing her eyes and start calling into the abyss, sending the biological signal that linking between her and other sea creatures DNA
since eons ago. Try asking for aid of her cousin of sharks and ray or even chimera fish, lamprey and hagfish if there are any left within her reaches.
But it was like shouting into the wall. Nothing except for echo of her calls are bouncing back toward Gura, making her suspicions that everything in the ocean
has already been eliminated by those slime even more likely.
But she is Gawr Gura, emperors of the six oceans and king of Atlantis. She will not give up now or at any time soon.
Gura's kingdoms and oceans and friends on this planet are all needing her help right now and shark girl will doing anything she can to protect them.
…
After some time has passed, Gura continued to open her blue glowing eyes and keep staring into the deep water when she finally sensing something.
It may be an hour or just a few minutes has passed since she start this vain calling, Gura is not so sure since the dark water that being filled with black
slime are not the best place to activate her biological clock.
But what she sure is that the abyss has calling her back right now.
Amelia Watson & Ninomae Ina'nis
" Get back here! You idiots!" Amelia yelled, firing her Glock 40 nonstop and telling group of semi-blinded Atlantean to get out of the battlefield since they
cannot exactly see swarm of zombified sea creatures and black slimes that are hovering at them like some birds of prey.
Snatching three of them away in the progress.
" We are Gura's royal guards! We won't back down even when the death itself are upon us!" One mantis shrimp man shouts, swinging his claws wildly while
the slime is still 5 meters away from him.
" That's the spirit!" Crustacean king praised as he is darting forwards. It may be a bit more admirable had he not running 90 degree away from the battlefield
since he is as blinded and deaf as any other Atlantean by some kind of electric pulse and sonar attack that seems to have no effect on Ina'nis and Amelia
at all.
" Using shark! Slash at whatever it lead you to!" Tigre yelled, puncturing through one of the giant slime with his war fork, controlling the tiger shark he is
riding to tilted its swimming direction a bit so that he can pulling the weapon out of the monster's back without the need to slow down or touching it.
Inside the control room. Poe, Shyliy and every whale Atlantean who is not fighting against the invading slime are crying at top of their lungs into Amelia
phone that is open its microphone mode and connecting to hospital that Sakamata Chloe are still resting at right now.
The older orca girl singing a whale communication sonic waves at her own phone while looking at her boss skeptically.
" Are you sure this is working?"
Laplus Darkness snorted, moving her fingers to create a dark portal the floating behind Chloe's phone.
" I am lord of darkness, remember? Just linking you guys calls toward the ears of every single whales in the world aren't that hard.
I hope you will keep your part of our deal, though."
Chloe nodded. " If you can help my sister saving the ocean from this slime invader. I will cleaning your room without salary for three years."
" Good. I will mark that oath in your souls. No changing your words after this, stinky whale!" Laplus touching Chloe's chest wit her index finger,
transfer some kind of spells toward orca girl.
" You brat! Don't get ahead of yourself!" Chloe pulling her boss chin, making demon girl cries in pain before Koyori and Lui will dutiful separated the girls
from each other.
Laplus going to shake them off when she suddenly feels something. Making her smiles in astonishment.
" But it seems that my service aren't that necessary!"
"" What?"" Chloe and her sister at the end of the line said at the same time.
Before Poe could asked Laplus to elaborate through Amelia's phone. Orca girl suddenly realized that her eyes start functioning again,
the return of sudden color and brightness almost shocked her. And judging by the expression of Shyliy that stands next to her.
The whale lady is feeling the same way.
Crustacean king finally seeing again just in time to see one zombified porpoise charging toward him. So he easily cut it in half with pincer,
yelling in triumph as every Atlantean soldiers finally managed to see their enemy again.
All of them start striking back despite not having properly weapons yet. Turning the tide of the battle again.
" But how?" Poe asked, before she will see the flash of Mako shark streamline body that swimming passed her, followed by hundreds of reef sharks,
Galapagos sharks, salmon sharks, sandbar shark, blue sharks, six and seven gills sharks, wobbegong sharks, angel sharks, zebra sharks, nurse sharks,
black-tip sharks, white-tip sharks, hammerhead shark, dogfish sharks, Porbeagle shark,Port Jackson sharks and many more. Even 400 years old Greenland
shark decided to swimming from the polar water to join this fight.
No need to talk about basic one like great white sharks, tiger sharks and bull sharks or other familiar faces in the ocean.
Every one of those sharks are swimming toward the slime island, releasing some kind of electricity that stopped the bolts attack of the slime,
making every Atlantean can using their eyes normally again.
The fast moving shark like Mako, salmon shark and oceanic white tip shark darting around and avoid being hit by those attacking slime and zombified sea
monster with grace and agility. Biting into the pillar that sending electric bolts nonstop, trying to destroy the things that currently blinding Atlantean army
right now.
Ina'nis saw that too. She shifting her stance and manipulates four crimson bolts that are blasting at her barrier, changing those lightning direction toward
the electric pillars, knocking three of them down with the slime own attacking.
" He he, bois!" Amelia peering from where she is hiding behind the Atlantean spaceship's wall. Reloading her Glock and walking out when one blue shark
suddenly swimming toward her. Detective is not surprised to see that Shartson is still alive and well.
" Prepare the the army! We will start striking back soon!" Tigre commanded the remaining Atlantean soldiers, controlling his tiger shark to stop and wait for
order despite the thing clearly wanting to joined its cousin in the frenzy battle between sharks and slime that are happening in front of their eyes.
" The sharks are here. Is this what Laplus is talking about?" Poe asked Shyliy, who shook her head.
" We asked her to help gathering whales not shark. Even if we can see through their electric field with those guys help.
We still need whale sonars to stop those sonic attacking-"
Shyliy stopped when she and Poe suddenly heard something. It was very loud but not in a bad way like those zombified whales sonic attacks.
This one is more natural in tone, revealing the complex millions years of evolution in a beautiful symphony.
I haven't heard these songs for more than thousand of years. Nostalgic surely hit hard, huh? Shyliy mused, didn't need to look back in order to know
what kind of sea mammals are swimming toward her direction from behind right now.
Whales, lots and lots of whales.
…
Like earlier army of sharks, these whales are gathering from all over the world. From blue whales, sei whales, minke whales, right whales, grey whales,
humpback whales, sperm whales, Pygmy sperm whales, narwhals and beluga from the North Pole, orcas from all over the oceans, false killer whales,
pilot whales, spinner dolphins, Chilean dolphins, and many regional of bottlenose and common dolphins.
Small porpoises and even are deep water beaked whales are also joining the fights.
All of them are singing their songs and blasting sonars(for those whales that capable of) at the direction of the slime island in unison.
Stunning the zombified whales and muffled their monotone cries.
Tigre dodging couple of humpback whales that swimming passed him less than meters away.
The sea mammals are swinging their flipper like a dual swords. Slicing the slime as easy as human cutting through pieces of ham.
The Atlantean general ignore the temptation to joined the battle as he is rebooting his wrist computer, sure enough. The thing has become working again.
He can even communicate with the sinking Manta Moving Castle from here.
" The weapons systems are working again! Repeat! Our technology has returned. Get back to the fleet before the second strike.
Every surviving auxiliary units is highly need right now!" Tigre bellowed at his mic, gaining a cheers from the Atlantean soldiers as an answers.
" Let's go! There must be some sort of guns left in the armory room. I am sick of just sitting here already!" Shyliy pulling Poe's arms after she has
disconnected Amelia's phone.
But orca girl seems to growing root on the floor, staring at something behind Shyliy's back nonstop.
" What is it?" Shyliy questioned. She know that the sight of whale army are impressive. But not enough for them to wasting time here.
So she turning her face at the direction just to snort at the whole thing and tell Poe to get over it… or at least that is what Shyliy thought before she will
staring breathlessly at the view behind them too.
The black ocean that being covered with dark slime are separating from each other, being pushed away by the clear blue water that teeming with life.
Shyliy could see even a small anchovies swimming in mass there along with sunfish, spider crabs and any other kind of sea creatures that are not rooting
on the sea floor. All of them are swimming toward the direction like some sort of living pieces of art that has collected every lifeforms in the ocean together.
Shyliy must admitted that the sight of all that is quite breathtaking.
That, and the fact that Leviathan is swimming along side with the army of sea creatures.
The sea serpents stretch its longer-than-miles body. Flippers and tentacles dancing freely in the newly cleaned sea water as he is staring at the slime island
with clearly disdain. Before the sea beast will roaring loud enough to shook the whole ocean, cracking the island of slime and pushing zombified whales
away for several hundreds meters.
" The only way to survive…sharks and whales…must united." Poe muttered something thoughtfully. Are those coming from the book orca girl used to read
as child? Shyliy had no idea.
But she can clearly see the things on the great beast's head. It is shark girl and boy from Gawr family. One is wearing a blue hoodie while the other is
wearing pink shirt and black skirt Shyliy used to loved wearing when she was younger.
But both Gawr eyes are shining blue light as they are sending their apex predator signal. Not against each other but to working together this time.
Telling every sea creatures what role should they play in the upcoming war.
Can you see that Girass? Your children are all growing up!
Shyliy tears mixed with sea water as she is trying to record every bits of this moment inside her brain.
…
'Never know that you have hidden brother in the closet!' Leviathan chuckled, his voices rang like a bell in Gura and Moenaomii's head.
" She is not my sister." Moenaomii stubbornly said.
" As you says, brother!" Gura smile sweetly. She is not a stranger of trolling, after all.
Moenaomii going to say something but think better of it.
Around them, the Atlantean army finally finished forming their ranks again. The fleet of spaceships and Manta Moving Castle are back to floating midwater
again. Ready for the next battle. The line of soldiers are staring at two Gawr on Leviathan's head like some kind of fan club during the concert.
" The emperor of the deep is here. There are two of them!" The penguin king muttered. Like almost every Atlantean soldiers, he has forget about the taboo
of offspring between shark and whale for a moment. Being in awe with the fact that Atlantis kingdom finally have more than one Gawr again after more than
thousands years of have only single king on their throne
" Wanna give some speech, Onii-chan? UWU!" Gura wondered.
Moenaomii coughing blood.
" I am better at fighting than some encouragement speech. You do it."
" Fine!" Gura swimming upward, make sure that everyone can see her, Moenaomii, Leviathan and army of sea creatures behind them before she will pointing
at the slime island.
" millions of years ago on our original planet, at the old Atlantis most of us only heard about…" Gura start her speech, trailing off for a second to see
if she got anyone's attention before continuing.
" We have been tricked to used this 'cleaning microorganisms' a perfect thing that could returned our ocean back to its natural state.
Sound too good to be true, right? That's because it is a hoax. Just a normal plan from council members to destroy our homeland.
And I have to admit that they have succeed last time."
" But now that we have find a new planet we called home. A place where our children grow and our garden ripe with success.
Of course. There is some problem between us and other inhabitants. But that's just how thing are. Part of our life. A new problem to solved,
not to destroy nor running away from."
" This problem is not one of them. The old enemy from the forgotten time has returned. They want to drove us out of our new Atlantis.
Our home. Or worse, to kill us all with the false promise of cleaning our ocean again. Will you guys want history to repeat itself? Are we about to running
away by the same thing that haunted our ancestors?"
""""""""""" No!""""""""""" The Atlantean soldiers yelled. Amelia picking the eight barrels Atlantean guns up, grinding when seeing that it had become
working again.
" Good! Millions years from now on. People will sing about our story today . Not a shameful tale about the day we have lost our homeland against some
slimy fishy thing the false god had tricked us to punished ourself. But a glorious day that we. Atlantean, fought against the invader that tries invading our
ocean! The day we stood with Atlantis and won!"
Gura then rising her trident in silence, letting herself being bathed in the cries and yelling of every Atlantean soldiers in the area.
Even Ina and Ame are shaking their fists too as Shyliy is clapping her hands nonstop.
Before the Leviathan will throw his head back and blasting his charge hydro power attacking toward the island of slime, cutting through the whole island in
half within a second or twos.
The five towers on the island collapsed again, but not for too long. Since the slime already gaining almost every bits of the material it can find on earth's
ocean.
The slimy island start rebuilding itself faster than the last time it has been attack. On the way of electing the towers again as the Atlantean army are still
staring at it.
" Save our sea!" Gura roared, making everyone roared back before they will start swimming toward the island of slime.
Blasting at it with their guns, missiles and cannon at the same time while the whale and shark army start backing away from the firing range.
Gura and Moenaomii then jumping from Leviathan's head. Shark girl landing on the Bloop while Moenaomii riding on El Gran Majá.
Both Gawr controlling their prehistoric shark and whale to swimming forward. Overtaken the ranks of soldiers and leading the Atlantean army to the slime
island as fast as they can.
Amelia gleefully followed with her Shartson. While Ina'nis guiding Ebi-chan toward the same direction through its antennas.
Followed by Tigre on his tiger shark back, Martillo on the great hammerhead shark, Poe on her beaked whale, Shyliy with false killer whale along with
Crustacean king and Scylla on their giant lobster tank. The pincers guns on both uncle and niece gleamed as it is blasting the energy beam at the enemy
nonstops.
The Atlantean army are also not wanting to be outshine. Some of therm are guiding their mounts animals like shark and dolphins, tuna or even giant squids
that being covered by barracuda fighter jets and turtle fortress as they are all moving forward , blasting at the army of slime and zombified sea creatures
with everything they have.
It seems that the battle finally reaching round twos. And this time. There is nothing to restrain Atlantean army anymore.
