Anima RP Version Two (Luc+Leafstar ONLY)

[Leafstar]

Alright Luc, the RP is up and ready to go! Would you like to start off? Let's begin by posting our bios (I am going to make a suboard for RP character bios so that it won't be that messy in the book discussion section) And then let's get this RP going! ;D

[Luc]

Ok since we posted our bios i'll start i guess. I'll start on a boat but it turns out its a trap and the people try to drown me. I'll do first person because it expresses her personality better.

I boarded the boat that had the vague, black painted name Shelby across its hull. The men weres strangely nice to me and offered me a free fishing trip because they needed a child aboard. I shrugged and had agreed to do it, being that half the convincing had been done over a well done flounder.
But here i was, on a boat that they use for scuba diving trips out in the florida keys (i hope thats an ok location you didnt say a specific location for your kingdom.), staring at the aquamarine blue waters that sprayed and swerved against the boat.
"Ok, are you ready for your first lesson?" Jennesen, the guy who owned the boat, asked me.
"Yeah!" I replied enthusiastically as i switched my gaze over to him.
He was a russian man, but he was stil la nice guy. And, like me, he knows a couples about the army. He was in world war I, so we had something in common.
Suddenly, i saw him get punched by his own crewmate, Casey, and he lunged at me, pointing a gun at my head while wrapping his arm around my neck and squeezing me tightly.
"I know who you are, fox girl. I've been watching you. Haven't you noticed?" He asked me, chuckling evilly.
"What, like the bad smell? I would know that everywhere. But the ocean's fresh breeze distracted me." I retorted.
"Shut up, you bra-" Before he finished, i used my unique agility to stoop below to escape his arm grab, then swung my legs to trip him. To finish it off, I put my foot against him and pointed my now visible RedDotSight on his chest.
"What was that you were saying? If i remember clearly, your plan that was discussed to yourself on the docks was to point a gun at my head, make some retorts, and shoot at point blank. But obviously your murder work just doesnt cut out for you."
I blasted the gun and he died shortly afterwards. The strength of the shot made me wobble, and almost made a hole in the boats deck.
Jennesen stumbled over and leaned on the bar table that was nailed down to the boat. "What happened there?" He asked me.
"AHO (Anima Hunter Organization). They want me on their little anima murder shopping list. I guess i forgot to mention that i am one."
Then the other two crew members paced towards us, not looking friendly.
But there looks of anger were quickly apprehended as Jennesen shot them both down with a pistol that was in his back pocket.
"I never really retired from the army." He mumbled.
I smiled. "Thats cool. Lets check the place for any explosives."
Suddenly, the whole boat erupted into pieces, and Jennesen and i were blasted into the water. I felt myself being showered with shrapnel as i was under water.
When i resurfaced, Jennesen was lying in the water, unconscious, and about to sink.
I pulled over a chunk of the ships hull. The part that floats the boat, and swung his arms over it and tied him down to it so he wouldn't drown.
I dug into his pocket for any kind of radio. The one i took out was now dead from the explosions shockwaves.
"No!" I shouted angrily. Swimming was not an option. We were about fifteen miles off the shore. You could barely see the cruise ships from there. Not only that, but there were bound to be some sharks and barracudas coming around after smelling the blood of the dead murderers.
At this point, we were pretty much sunk.
Than suddenly....

[Leafstar]

My ears pricked to the sound of a sudden explosion. I lunged up from my gold plated thrown and swam toward the exit of the palace, a few of my guards behind me, ready to accompany me in finding the source of the explosion.

"I've got this one. Just guard Maraquia while i'm gone." I said, extending my hand toward my trident which stood precariously beside the thrown. The trident shot forward and into my hand as I grabbed my shield and battle helmet, quickly swimming into the deepening waters outside of Maraquia.

Maraquia was located miles out in the Caribbean Sea where the crystal clear water was at it's deepest and murkiest, concealing it from any boats or humans who were looking for us. Maraquia had remained hidden for many many years and no one had ever found it and those lucky enough to see it were sworn to keep it's location a secret. Maraquia was basically known as a giant fishbowl. A large dome of glass covered the entire kingdom, while waterways led through the kingdom and in and out of every building and home. Each Maraquian swam from place to place using the deep waterways and the way out of the kingdom was very intriguing. When someone entered they would go through a doorway that led into a glass encased room where the door was shut tightly behind the visitor. Then then water was drained from the room and the doorway into the kingdom was opened.

Suddenly, the smell of smoke and blood filled my senses and sneered in disgust. I continued swimming through the semi-murky water as it filled with shards of metal and dust from an explosion. I resurfaced for a moment to take in a more refreshing smell when I spotted two survivors floating on the remains of a boat. I recognized one of them as being an Anima. I swam toward them and raised my battle helmet, giving a friendly smile.

"Greetings, friends. My name is Maraqua, Queen of Maraquia. Come with me. My kingdom will shelter you." I said, quickly offering them my kingdom's shelter. I circled my hands over and over causing the water to ripple and form a dome over their heads creating an air pocket for them to breath through. (basically its like an air dome, a way for them to breath until they get to Maraquia.)

[Luc]

I was confused, but I nodded anyway. Untying Jennesen from the hull piece, I dragged him under with me into the air bubble. As I swam, a giant, fishbowl looking under city came into view. It looked like the Atlantis that I had seen in the movie, but logistics told me that it wasn’t in this area. So this must be a city that’s just made by fish type anima.
We entered a large door that lead to a narrow room. Inside, there was second door, but it was sealed shut. I could get a foggy vision of the water city, watching figures move on and about their daily lives. Suddenly, I heard a few beeps and the water level in the narrow room started decreasing. The apparent “queen” that I saw in front of me now looked like a more normal human. When the water level came to zero, Jennesen became more heavy than I realized. Being soaked in water, his weight must have increased by at least 15%. But I shrugged, using another one of my navy trained abilities, which I am surprised I am able to do despite my age, was hold him over my shoulder. His breathing was steady, which assured me that he was still alive. I breathed a sigh of relief. Than I saw that this Marqua person opened the door for us, giving me a much more clear version of the underwater city. The shapes of the city were a lot like building designs I had scene in Scifi movies.
I predicted that I would learn more about this underwater utopia in the future.
I couldn’t help but be a little rude.
“What the heck is all this??” I asked curiously. I had hear navy stories of soldiers who had drowned and come back up as fish anima, which made me use my free arm to feel along my neck to confirm I wasn’t growing gills or anything.

[Leafstar]

I had assumed a reaction such as the one I recieved from the Fox Anima. I smiled at her confusion and opened my mouth to speak.

"Many years ago, the humans main task was to hunt Anima... And one of their main goals was hunting mermaid anima. So I gathered as many mermaid animas as I could and together we built this underwater kingdom we call Maraquia. Please, come to my palace." I stated, diving into the waterway road before me. I reached up for the boy that draped over the Fox Anima's shoulder and passed him along to one of my guards giving him to signal to bring him to the infirmary.

"You're friend will be fine. He is just being taken to the infirmary... come with me, I will take you to my palace. I will have my guards take you to one of our empty Maraquian homes and their you may stay for as long as you please." I said, smiling toward her as I swam through the waterways toward the towering and elaborate palace that overtowered every building in Maraquia.

[Luc]

I watched as the respected general was sent to the infirmary by these strange anima.
Shes a little to royaly for my type. When Jennesens better, i need to find a way to get back to land and have Jennesen report what happened to the authorities. Wait... If i do that, then they will have my tail literally. I thought to myself discomfortedly. But i followed this queen into the empty home. The inside had all sorts of pottery. The tables were glass, which was neatly furnished with porcelain pottery. I sat down on a couch, wondering why its not wet already.
"Ok, so you know about the anima hunters. But let me tell you something that i know about them that you can barely imagine.
Theres an organization called AHO, which stands for Anima Hunter Organization. Its like a multi million dollar organization thats dedicated to wiping all anima off the face of the earth. By the looks of it, the men were going to lead me out to your palace and kill me then take a tracker system, which i found in one of their pockets, and place it here. So i wanted you to be on full alert. Their guns can probably beat your glass dome and arms. I know your royalty and i shouldnt be rude, but you shouldnt underestimate these guys. Many of the members are war veterans so you ought to watch yourself.
I know you would hate this suggestion, but maybe you can come with me to help stop these guys so that your palace can be safe. Because They've most likely tracked me and that general you saw there, so this place wont be safe for much longer. So what do you think? YOu dont have to, of course. I can always get help from the army if you say no." I explained to her, waiting for an answer.

[Leafstar]

I nodded my head as I took in the new information. I smiled at the suggestion of myself leaving my Palace and kingdom to defeat an organization. How absurd! I let out a chuckle and then made my face serious once again.

"I appreciate the warning, and the offer. But one thing you do not know, is this. Come with me." I led the Fox Anima to a room just behind my Throne that was located in the center room of the palace. The room was filled to the brim with machines and switches that were very tempting to mess with. I strode toward one particularly large switch and yanked it down hard, sending red flashes and loud sirens to go off. I picked up a microphone that could only be heard on the inside considering the entire dome was soundproof.

"All Maraquians report to the inside of the kingdom within the next two minutes before we go into camouflage mode. Thank you." I said, setting the microphone down and counting down in my head until two minutes had passed. I flipped open a lid that revealed a large red button and pressed it hard, sending off louder sirens and this time, blue lights. Once they subsided I led the way out of the room and toward the dome's edge where the glass wall divided the ocean and the kingdom.

"As you can see, it appears that nothing has changed. On the inside. However, on the outside the entire kingdom is completely invisible. No one can see it. It's as if we don't exist at all." I said, triumphantly and turned toward the Fox Anima.

"I am aware of this organization, they have been trying to find Maraquia for years now... And this is how we have remained hidden from all of society for this many years." I said, letting out a sigh of relief. "Even our people are safe... Look around you. Do you see the aquamarine colored cloaks that are around all of our army soldiers? And even some of our citizens?" I asked, pointing out a few people who wore the cloaks.

"Their cloaks are made of the same chemical that makes our kingdom invisible. When we are attacked, our army cloaks themselves and appear invisible to the enemies and can attack and take down everyone because they are invisible." I said, smiling at the technology the kingdom had.

"I thank you for the concern and the offer, though." I said, nodding toward the Fox Anima and diving back into one of the road waterways.

[Luc]

OCC: Oh yeah, i forgot to explain that the Russians sort of hate us right now, as you know. But Jennesen is not hostile towards america (and btw, hes in his eighties. But hes not like a really weak old man. He looks more like hes in his fifties.). Hes sorta retired, just helps out when he can, but these days, he only does ARO and russian work. So the only time he helps americans is with Fox. Otherwise hes just serving his own country. I have a couple more things to say:
Fox is a very dangerous Anima, and how could you tell she was an anima if she was hiding it?
One more thing: Notice that so far all my posts have been extremely long XD. Thats another thing thats changed with my writing.

I sighed loudly at this animas negligence, but i ignored it, other than that.
"I have no choice." I said, letting the queen head back over to me. "Let me tell you the truth from a better viewpoint. I was being nice and telling a couple unwholesome truths, but it seems that since its not a threat to you i will have to tell you the whole story.
"When i said that you have four months, major exasperation." I pulled out a laminated world map and set it upon the table. "We are here." I pointed a gloved finger, but that was difficult, so i took it off to reveal my furry, clawed finger. "We are here, out in the keys. Now AHO's location is out here." I moved my finger to the Appalachain Mountains, along the center of it.
"Now i am aware that i look to young to be in the army, and i am, but I am supplied with vital information because they say i'm 'a beacon of hope that humans and anima alike to come together someday.' So i am given all these important factors. I work on my own terms, though. But never mind with that. Let me continue.
"I said that AHO was there, but right now, they are here." I slid my claw over to key largo. "Their coming by hummers and submarines. So in precisley 6 hours, this dome will be attacked. I understand your invisibility, but on the boat, the tracker i had found was activated. Its off right now, but they already know where it shorted out. So with their heat seeking missles, will invade and capture you and your people. So i suggest you stop chuckling at ideas you consider absurd and evacuate your people. I didn't want to have to force this on you, but i care about people. All people, for i havent thrown my life away just because im different. I gave myself a second chance and look where its gotten me. So i am doing what i can to save all people like me, all Anima. I know you will say that you can fight back, and i believe you, but this organization has the funds to bring over a secret unit that can demolish this giant fishbowl. If you evacuate your people and keep the doem invisible, you may be able to save both your people and your home. This is serious buisness, and i do not want you to ignore me. I have already told you information that is forbidden to tell."
I explained to her, hoping that she wouldnt do another one of those ridicoulous, overconfident, royalty-like chuckles, hoping that any of this information would get into her fish brain.

[Leafstar]

My face went stern and cold. I whipped around and dove into one of the deep waterway roads and swam to the bottom and through a tunnel that was located on one of the sides and through to the other side where a large circular ledge was located in an intersection of the waterways.

This intersection was not just an intersection though. It was the heart of Maraquia... The dead center... This was where she made important announcements. She lunged on top of the ledge and banged her triton on the hard cement ledge, causing it to rise high in the sky and tower over all of her people and buildings, all the eyes in the city turning toward her.

"People of Maraquia! As you already know, we have a visiting Fox Anima with us, an anima who has just brought important information to my attention. As you know, the headquarters that hunts people like us, is trying to hunt us down. A tracker has was sent out here a few hours ago to try and track us and unfortunately it has succeeded. We had less that six hours to evacuate our city or else we risk taking on a severe war... A war we may not win. Please head to one of the guards and we will all leave for our underground city and remain there until it is safe. Our city here will remain invisible, but we must leave because of their heat seeking missiles which will track us here. If we want to keep our home and our lives, you are all to follow the guards to our underground city out in the Atlantic Ocean. Everyone move as fast as you can! Leave your belongings and everything, just grab your invisible cloaks and exit the city as fast as you can!" I called out to them in my most serious tone. Never before have I had to evacuate our beautiful city... And now we had to... The moment my voice had cut off, everyone began bustling, it was a mad house, all of the actual cement pathways were deserted and everyone was now in the waterways swimming toward the doors... I lowered the ledge back to the ground with another hit of my triton and was back down in the waterways. I swam back to Fox, seeing the look of fear on her face.

"Come, I will escort you to the hidden city." I said, grabbing her wrist and creating a dome over her head for breathing and dove back into the water and watched as she swam after me. I grabbed an invisible cloak quickly from one of the guards and tossed it to her, as she concealed herself and i did the same as we began swimming toward the Atlantic Ocean.

"You go ahead, I have to stay here and make sure everyone is out of the city."

[Luc]

(hey leafstar fox wouldnt be afraid))

Fox shrugged. "I'm going to take care of the frontier forces. I've requested some backup from the airforce and the Navy division and they should be here shortly. In case you didnt noticed, Jennesen has resurfaced and is sending out flares to reveal our location. You better hurry if your going to evacuate any stragglers." I told the queen in a proffesional sounding tone.

[Leafstar]

Maraqua nodded to Fox and narrowed her eyes in seriousness, hurrying back into the underwater utopia, making a quick scope of the place. Everyone was out from what she could see and she could see the silhouette shadows of the ships coming toward the city. She made one final scope of her palace, finding one small child cowering behind her throne tears drizzling down her face.

"Come here." Maraqua said in a motherly voice, taking the anima child quickly in her arms and diving back into one of the waterways, swimming to the very bottom and going toward one of tunnels at the bottom that was barred off. It was a passage where from the ocean was brought into the passageways so they stayed filled to the edge with water. She slipped between two of the bars and to the end of the narrow passageway. Maraqua gasped in horror as she say that the thick metal door that allowed water in (which was set on a time cycle) was sealed shut. She had closed off all waterways that allowed water to come in off. She was trapped in the city while people were trying to invade it from above. She used her cloak to conceal her and the anima child, shushing her while Maraqua tried to fight their way out.

She pulled at the metal door, trying to budge it with her own strength, fearing that if she used her waterbending it would create to much noise. Could she fight off anyone from the outside and get out? Or should she just wait in silence while they tried to find her city?

Maraqua drew her hands around in a circle, whipping them quickly at the metal door, slicing it in half, creating a loud screeching sound as it sliced through the metal. She cringed at the sound, hoping it didn't attract any attention and took the child in her arms and concealed them both once again in their invisible cloak and swam into the endless ocean toward the Atlantic. Her people were all safe in the underground city deep in the Atlantic, while she was still in the Florida Keys... She only hoped that no one would spot her with their heat senses missiles .

[Luc]

About a couple minutes after the last of the fish anima were gone, i cold hear the blades of a chopper and the roaring engines of the ARAA (Anima Rescue Agency of America)Air Force. I doubted we could prevent capture for all the anima, but i knew we would be able to lower the forces of our long searched adversaries. I could finally hear, with my sensitive ears, the sound of submarines. Divers began dispersing from them, with underwater, 300 PSI guns (underwater, you need water pressure to fire bullets because gunpowder does nt work succesfuly under wet conditons), trackers and all.
I of course inserted my pressurizer to my gun and aimed. When they were within three yards from me, i opened fire. Making little noise and killing four of the divers. Sirens blared as the submarines sirens blared and fired their heat seeking missles. "S***!" I shouted, I had no powers that could stop the torpedo from striking me. But when i heard an explosion, i opened my eyes.
The missle was gone. All that was left was smokey debris

[Leafstar]

Maraqua saw Fox joining in on the fight and signaled for her triton, it appearing in her hands moments later. She quickly put her helmet on and equipped herself with her shield and dove into battle, aiming her lightning bolts at the submarines.

She tried to seek out Fox in the mass army of people on both land and shore, seeking her out right as a heat seeking missile was launched toward her.

"No!" Maraqua screamed, aiming at the missile with her triton, launching a large lightning bolt and blowing the missile to shreds, then taking off to take care of the submarines with her waterbending.

But then, she stopped. Her triton... She quickly called to Fox, screaming the name at the top of her lungs:

"Fox! Here, take my triton!" She yelled, tossing the triton into Fox's hands, giving her a method of indestructible defense. "Just aim and fire. It's as easy as that." I said, taking off toward the first submarine i saw, whipping my hands in place, slicing the submarine open with an ice spear and causing it to flood from the inside out.

[Luc]

(by the way, leafstar, to make the rp more thrilling i think that fighting should be more of a challenge and not make it so simple to defeat our enemies

I strapped the triton behind me, not really wanting to use a weapon that isnt one of my own. I kept firing at any divers that got near, but there were just too many of them. I prayed that the foot soldiers would get here in time.
Suddenly, i heard screams and the sound of a chopper. I glanced up at the surface of the water, the magnified sun almost blinding me. I could see that several of the fsh anima had been caught in a fishing net and it carried them away. The airforce couldnt fire at the helicopter if who they were tryng to rescue was being hauled inside. There was nothing they could do. "Maraqua!" I called to her, "our people have been found early in time! AHO has a party of helos behind us! You have no choice but to go on a land mission with me if you want to get them back!" I saw that ARAA's helos, seating several snipers that were firing from above, had finaly arrived to help.

(going on a quest to get your people back should be the major plot, and consist of many posts. They wont be able to get the anima head on, and Maraqua will have to be the one who is being told what to do. Maraqua will have no power over people on land, and will have to stay with Fox. Its a dramatically big deal, and both of them will discover new powers along the way. It should be a pretty intense RP. The fighting wont be as easy as in our first version of Anima. If you go along with it, you'll have a great time! Im writing a thriller and have read a lot of them so trust me on this one. )

[Leafstar]

(okay! Sounds like a great plot idea! Maraqua hasn't been to the surface ever since she created Maraquia, and hasn't used her ability to change back into a human in many years, and may forget how to walk. None of the maraquan anima use their ability to walk in the city, so it's as if they are a mermaid forever. So this should be good.)

Maraqua gasped as she watched her people being taken away in the fish nets. Her eyes narrowing to hard angry slits.

"No!" She screamed, calling for her triton, ripping it from the strap on Fox's back and into her hands. She fired t the helicopter, the blast hitting the chopper, but only ricocheting off the thick metal exterior and back into the water. Suddenly, nets were on her. The AHO had found her and was now throwing net after net ontop her, pulling the nets tight against her. She whipped her arms around, creating a massive whirlpool extending at nearly the length of the titanic, bringing all the submarines and divers into its grasp.

"Get out of my ocean!" She screamed, sending them into a frenzy of dizziness when the whirlpool disbanded. She fired bolt after bolt with her triton until most of them retreating, only a couple 20's or 30's of divers remaining in clearing. She left them for the other fighters. She swam toward Fox, her eyes in a blaze of anger.

"Alright. Let's go. Take me to my people." She said, her voice cold hard, dreading to return to the surface world.

[Luc]

(cool! i wont be able to post as much because my computers are messed up, btw)

I nodded to her. "We can't get to AHO head on, though. We need plans. Maps. Blueprints. Inside information. We need the information necessary to create an operation for this. I know how badly you want your people, and you will get them, but in time. Now return to your normal self before going onto land. Theres a 'copter waiting for us on the surface. You should not take the triton into public, for it will attract too much attention. You can guarantee its saftey in my quarters. You will need to learn about the surface world, probably including how to walk. Do i make myself clear? Is there something you do not understand?"
I spent all the time telling her the plan, holding her hand as i brought her up to the surface.

[Leafstar]

Maraqua's eyes remained narrowed into hard slits. She feared the longer this mission took, the more of her people would die. And she would not leave her triton behind under any cicrumstances. She held her triton out in both hands, and shut her eyes, focusing hard on the object. Suddenly, it started breaking down until it remained nothing but a small pole about the size of a cigarette which she then put in her pocket.

"There. I still have my triton on hand, and if anyone sees it, i'll act like it's a cigarette." She said, swimming to the water's edge to the point where it was about ankle high and she oculd feel the soft, white sand on her hands and tail. She let out a long sigh and put her head down, shutting her eyes as she focused hard, almost forgetting how to change back into a human. Suddenly, a bright light came over her, causing her entire body to glow, and suddenly her tail split in two and she had legs. She stood up, her legs wobbling and suddenly falling back down into the water.

Her tail had turned into a ratty old green colored skirt that looked like it had been torn at an angle and had no shoes and had the same shield and Maraquan style clothing she wore before.

"Alright, let's get moving. Where is your headquarters? Where your group meets to discuss the task at hand." She said, as she tried to stand up on her feet, falling back down again. As she hit the water and specks of the droplets hit her face, she remembered something.

"Oh, right. I forgot to mention something. Once we are human, we need water. At almost all times. We can only go about a total of six hours being out of water in human form. Even if we remain in human form, we still need to be in a source of water at least every six hours. Or else we pass out of dehydration. Some body part has to be in the water or else we will become very sick... So please tell me this meeting place isn't in a desert or something." She said, finally being able to stand on her feet with Fox's support.

[Luc]

I sighed. "Dont worry. I can't tell you where the headquarters is for saftey reasons, so hopefully you can just figure it out. It's very rainy is all i can really tell you."
I supported Maraqua's weight as she continued the stumble, starting to get the hang of it.
One of the ARO 'copters lowered overhead and as it did, heaved Maraqua into it, letting her land on one of the seats. My sensitive ears barely able to hear from the propelling of the chopper as wind blew into my face, nearly swiping my hat off.
I put on my comm. "Shes on. How are the others?" I spoke into it.
"They are fine. However, Jennesen is in the hospital for he breathed in too much water. We are going to return him to his country. The government is a little suspicous, thats all. Instead your going to several units: One with Seargant Korrell, and several with Captain Price." The pilot explained to me. I nodded, seating myself on one of the skids, switching from my M240 Hoographic to my .50 Caliber Intervention to sniper any remaining enemies. I had gotten news that several of them have been captured and were going to be interrogated, but other than that, nothing was new.
Eventually, the copter pulled into the air and before long i climbed up into the copter and shut the door. I gave her a comm so she could hear me over the noise of the helicopter. "The flight will be two hours. Just go sightseeing while your waiting, look whats happened to the world around you, look at whats changed, just be patient. This will probably be the only time your in a helicopter. It may be, it may not. Theres nothing you can do right now but be patient and enjoy yourself if you can. If you have any questions, just ask me."

[Leafstar]

Maraqua was quite overwhelmed by what was going on. All she wanted was to save her people. She let out a long sigh and peered out the window as the chopper climbed higher into the sky and was crossing over the ocean to head back to the mainland. She peered out the window and into the water, noticing a familiar figure bobbing on the water's surface, one hand in the air, waving up at her. She let out a loud gasp of astonishment and squinted her eyes to make sure she was seeing clearly.

"Saphira!" She screamed, ripping the comm from her head and unbuckling her seatbelt. She reached for the door and slid it open, the wind whipping her long hair in every direction and the long drop below giving her a slight bit of nausea. She breathed slowly and closed her eyes, remembering that she was dropping into the seas she controlled.

She brought her hands together and lunged from the edge getting into the perfect diving position, the captain and Fox both screaming her name as she dropped thousands of feet into the water. I began swimming toward my friend, who was swimming toward me as well, her anima mermaid tail bobbing in the water.

"Saphira! What are you doing here in the middle of the ocean? I thought all of the mermaids had been taken away!" I yelled, sadness in my voice. Saphira shook her head, a long sigh coming from her mouth.

"No. Not all of us. There are only about 8 or 10 of us still left out of the original 550..." She said, letting out an even deeper sigh.

"Well i advise you all journey to my sister's utopia over in the Indian Ocean. It is a long journey, but you will be 100% safe there. Only she lives there, but it is a massive utopia of beauty. It is exactly like Maraquia only ten times smaller and so much more beautiful. It's like stepping into an underwater garden. Anyway, it is located in the only part of the Indian Ocean that is clear and hwen you arrive just tell her that Maraqua sent you." She said, putting her hand on her friend's shoulder.

"Leave as soon as possible before it's too late. I will come for you all when it is safe again." I said, pursing my lips in sadness as Saphira nodded her head in equal sadness.

"Alright... Well... I guess this is goodbye." She said, as she began sinking deeper into the water. I felt partially jealous that she could take in water while I had to continue to tread it.

"Yes. Go. Quickly." I said, flipping her around and sending her back into the depths of the ocean.

[Luc]

I groaned as the helicopter lowered, spraying the water under it in all directions in a flurry of wind.
"D*mmit Mara! Am i going to have to strap you to the copter?! Im not afraid to. Now get your *ss back on the helo!" I shouted at her, trying to make her actually listen to me.
As she climbed the skid back on, i shut the door for her, locking it from the outside.
"This time, you are to stay in the helo! We need to get to our destination A.S.A.P or you'll never see your people again. One more reckless move like that...." I trailed off, "...And you'll never hear the end of it. You arent the leader of a utopia anymore. You are with government now, and they can do whatever they want with you. So i advise that you just stay in the copter. Take a nap or something."
Yeah, i was obviously pretty pissed of at Mara.
That fish brain of hers will get us nowhere i thought with a sigh.
