Chapter Four is here! Now that she got away from those that zombie she will continue on hopefully unscathed.
Time for another chapter.* eats popcorn*
Pulse continued to swim from that creature as fast as her thrusters and legs could and not looking back. That encounter just scared her quite a bit, and hopefully won't be doing that again. Sure, she is supposed to be an explorer and danger is expected but she needs to reconsider how to go about so she won't find herself in that situation again.
What were they? She should have known from the menacing looking vessel that they were hostile beings because no scary looking vehicle ever brought good things to anyone. She hoped that there was more under all that metal and even tried to study it but she was wrong.
She just kept swimming away quickly in case she was being followed. She huffed and puffed, feeling her breathing system and her throat as if they were burning. Not soon after her muscles were stinging from the amount of energy She was forcing her body to use. When she traveled some more distance, she stopped to catch a break and sighed in tiredness.
Pulse then checked her suit's cloaking feature. Yes, it has the incredible feature of making her invisible, however it's limited. Pulse could vanish from the vision of anyone around her, but only for about an hour. If she needs to go somewhere where she shouldn't be seen, she needs to make the cloaking ability count. She already used up around half of the cloak's energy escaping the boat and the thing shooting at her. She would have to let it rest until it's energy is full again to use it at its full potential. At least it will only take a few minutes for the cloak's energy to fully recover.
Pulse looked at her digital map to see where she was located and saw she was getting closer to land. She smiled, but her limbs were still tired so she laid in the water floating on the surface. She closed my eyes for a bit.
…
Not too far away, something living was swimming closer unknowingly to where Pulse was.
The creature looked like a peashooter, however it had no roots for feet but instead had a tail like that of an eel. Its skin was light purple with gills on the side of its head and fins on its head. This creature was an eel peashooter.
This eel peashooter named Raymond was swimming towards a coral reef, where many other sea creatures and aquatic plants lived as their home, find food to eat, find a mate and so on.
Raymond was just minding his own business. He was thinking about what food to find and eat at the coral reef when he saw something in the distance. He tilted his head at it, from where he was it looked pinkish but he swears its purple. It was far away so he couldn't fully tell what it was, it could be a pink jellyfish but the body proportions and shape didn't look quite right to be one. Raymond blinked as he continued to stare, his curiosity then soon took over and he went closer to see what it was.
As he got closer he saw that it was citron shaped, he hummed in thought. But shook his head and went closer to it.
He saw that its body was black with some parts of it being pink. It had a visor and mouth piece. The gun on its side however scared him a little. Raymond wasn't sure if it was armor covering the citron or if it was a full robot, or a cyborg.
He swam towards its side, curiosity sparked in his mind. He knows many aquatic plants and creatures that live in the ocean, even on the land, but none like this one.
He slowly raised a peapod to try and touch it, but stopped when his pod hand was inches away from touching its metal skin. Raymond didn't know what he was doing. For Mega Flower's sake this creature could be dangerous. Sure plants are friends with each other but there are those few that don't want to follow or even care about rules or their duties.
Raymond sighed in fear, but also a little tiny bit in excitement. He really can't help but to try and talk to them, besides he will trust a plant over a zombie. The eel peashooter gently tapped its metal surface.
He quickly pulled his pod away and watched the citron creature closely. It's body jerked and balanced itself in the water. It's head looked around quickly, trying to find who or what touched it before snapping its body around to look behind itself.
When its visor face landed on Raymond, both of them froze. Raymond could tell it's fear when it saw him despite not knowing what expression it could be doing.
And just as fast as their staring contest was, the citron creature left. It swam away faster than Raymond can reach it. Raymond knew he wouldn't be able to reach it, it was too fast for him. He sighed and swam away to the coral reef he was going to earlier.
…
Taking a small break in the middle of the ocean? Definitely not a good idea. Pulse decided she should write that down in what not to do when exploring new planets. She sighed and swam away from the sea creature.
That creature was fascinating. It looked very similar to some flora species that live back home, including one of the people species. The long round snout is a major feature. Its slender body and the shape of its appendages too. Not sure what they are called here, and really wish to be able to speak in its language if it could talk. Pulse assumed it can, in the short amount of time that she saw it, she could tell it had intelligence in its eyes. Thankfully the sea creature wasn't dangerous, Pulse thought.
Though, she hasn't encountered anything yet that can match her swim speed and suit combined, thankfully but who knows. She had dangerous encounters with extraterrestrial creatures, mostly animal evolved creatures that tried to kill her or eat her.
She had a feeling that creatures like those exist on this planet, and that's what she was scared about.
These thoughts disappeared when she saw something dark in the distance. Being underwater made it difficult to see so she resurfaced to take a look at what it was. Her eyes widened when I looked closer.
It was land, dry land. Finally, no need for more swimming in the ocean for hours. She was just on the verge of collapse.
She quickly swam towards it and noticed that the shore wasn't made of stone or sand but wood. Meaning it was either natural or artificial, like a harbor of sorts. If it was artificial, she was on the edge of some form of civilization.
She slowed down when she saw something which stood on the wood platforms. She used her suit's binocular vision and zoomed onto it. It looked like the long snouted aquatic creature that she had seen back there. However this was actually green instead of light purple. Its biggest difference was that it had appendages which it stood on instead of having a swimming tail.
It looked down at something, and that's when Pulse noticed it was carrying something. When she looked at it, it was another green creature with something attached to its head, which looked like a throwing pult. Another thing that caught her interest was that it was being carried in what looked like a pot. Another feature similar to her species' biology.
The potted green creature's face perked up and faced the larger green one. It looked back up at the ocean but Pulse felt as if it was looking at her. Its face even perked up like it saw her. Pulse felt unnerved so the alien citron dove below the water's surface to avoid being anymore.
She wasn't sure if they actually saw her, but since she stood out from the blue waters, it can be assumed they actually did.
…
"Did you see that?!" the potted cabbage pult exclaimed at the peashooter who carried him.
"Yeah. It was weird, it looked like a black and pink dolphin or something like that," the peashooter said calmly.
"Maybe a new species of a water creature?" questioned the small cabbage throwing plant.
The peashooter made a skeptical expression." Who knows, but new species are being discovered often."
The cabbage pult sighed. "Not sure if our other friends will believe us anyway, but it was still cool to see."
"Yeah. Also we should go before we encounter any zombies," said the peashooter, to which the cabbage pult responded with a nod.
The pea turned and walked away from the shore and the walkway getting farther away from the water. Unknowns to them, Pulse jumped up from the water to get on the wooden walkway. She shook a bit of water off and looked around.
There was a large pirate ship nearby. Pulse didn't know it was a pirate ship so she just labeled it as a transport vessel, for it looked similar to the one she encountered.
She looked around some more and paused her sightseeing at the sky. One side of the sky was a bright sunny cloudless day. The other side however was purple with menacing looking clouds overhead. The further she looked at the purple side the more the clouds converged with each other making a menacing blanket stretching for what she believed to be miles. She tilted her head with questions, but shook them away. Pulse was more curious about the purple covered side, but has a bad feeling about it.
However, despite her mind saying no she slowly walked to the direction of the purple side of this place anyway. She would like to know what those clouds are, something about them isn't natural, and what could be causing them if they are not natural.
Another chapter done. What did you all think about it? You can tell me what you think in reviews.
Raymond the eel peashooter does not belong to me. He belongs to a friend of mine. Raymond will be added to the character list in my profile. I might also edit some stuff from the other chapters. Some are details that I will either delete or put in, and the other are small mistakes which really irritate me
Anyway, time for me to write the next chapter.
