143 Dragon Wars & The Trident City Of Atlantis Vii : Crashing, Spinning Waves

"f.u.c.k! I'm so glad that shark's on my side." I couldn't help but say to myself as I turned to face the s.h.i.+eld, only to see a cannon ball, that's very much on fire heading for my face. I moved the ocean in front of me, densely packing the water and increasing the pressure around me.

It was not enough to serve as a perfect s.h.i.+eld, but I was trying to use science, or as much as science as I can remember without completely butchering it. It was an on the spot decision, and the fact that I was able to make it also left me quite shocked. The idea was to try and make the density (or whatever) of the water heavier, so that it would replicate the pressure that's sure to be present thousands of feet under the sea. And for the most part, my plan actually worked.

The cannon ball was squeezed the moment it came in contact with the water until all I was looking at was a crumbled sc.r.a.p of metal. The flames dissipated, but that was just one canon ball out of the hundreds they had just fired, and one or two of the sharks were caught in the crossfire. I turned to Neron and beckoned him to my side, the dungeon boss; that funny enough was not in his dungeon(wherever the f.u.c.k it was) swam towards me.

"Neron thank you so much for your help, but take your kin and regroup around the Acheron, I'll take over from here. You guys should defend the s.h.i.+p and make sure the whole of the island is completely sunk without threats from anybody else." The shark blinked his yellow eyes, which should be impossible....right? Fishes don't blink do they, they don't have eyelids. Oh well I don't think it mattered at the moment anyway.

"It will be as you say, we await news of your victory." And then he raised his head and gave off a little bounce, a sort of shockwave spreading from his head that left me even more surprised. Last I remember sharks don't have echolocation, that's the communication mojo for bats and dolphins...…seriously why the h.e.l.l am I trying to apply logic to anything that happens here, this is a game! Sure it's real, but it's a game! Remember that Aaron!

The Sharks swam back towards the Acheron, leaving me alone within the vicinity of the s.h.i.+eld as more canon b.a.l.l.s flew past me and harmlessly into the ocean. I placed my hand on the trident, even though so far the ocean had be reacting to my will, as if it was a part of my own body, I needed to focus a bit for it to happen, to visualize the next move to be made. I closed my eyes as the sea began to move, and I moved along with it, it's current motion coming about as result of my manipulation.

The ma.s.sive wave that now surrounded the flags.h.i.+p of the dragon G.o.d guild, like a coc.o.o.n began to rotate. It was like the s.h.i.+eld itself was in the middle of giant whirlpool, and the whirlpool itself was exerting enough pressure to crush rocks into diamond and even further crush diamonds into dust. I opened my eyes as I was swept by the current of the whirlpool, watching as it placed more and more pressure on the s.h.i.+eld that seemed completely impenetrable.

*CRACK!!!!* until now that is.

A rather nasty crack had appeared on one side of the s.h.i.+eld, snaking across it's surface like a lightening bolt. It still held, but now tiny trickles of water was slowly escaping through that crack. The rotation got faster, so much so that I was starting to feel a little nauseous by the constant circular motion and the pressure being exerted on the s.h.i.+eld, it was like being thrown in a blender, or maybe a tornado.

*Crackakacak! Craaaack!*

It was only a matter of time now, this s.h.i.+eld was strong, really strong. If it was anyone else who didn't have the power of the trident or maybe even the firepower the Ion pulse cannon brought to the table, the these guild of bullies would have been absolutely unstoppable and unbeatable. But I guess they ran out of luck the moment the tree of revelations decided I was worthy enough of being chosen as an Avatar.

I looked at the s.h.i.+p, watching as players on it moved back step by step, completely defeated by the sight of the rapidly expanding cracks on their unbreakable s.h.i.+eld. Maybe this time they'll learn that being a bully is wrong, or even they don't learn that, they would be exposed to one very fundamental truth of life....you don't f.u.c.king mess with Aaron Wade.

*thud! Crack! Thud!! Crack!! Thud!!! Crack!!!* I could see someone come out if the s.h.i.+p's interior and start walking towards me.

Her very steps caused vibrations to rang out in tandem with the cracks stretching all over the s.h.i.+eld. Seeing how the players gave way for her, she's probably the person in charge of this entire operation, probably the head honcho just like h.e.l.l Rain, though I have to admit she seems prettier, but I can't be sure as seeing her through moving water did not do wonders for my clarity of sight. She suddenly took off running, moving so fast across the almost one hundred and fifty meter long deck of her s.h.i.+p that she was nothing but a blur to most people, then she leaped into the air in one ma.s.sive leap, s.h.i.+fting in midair into a ma.s.sive black and red dragon who's jaws were opened wide and heading straight for me...s.h.i.+t!

I withdrew the wave and converged it on my body as a means for defense, then I turned and plunged right back into the sea, returning the ocean back to it's normal look and form, and leaving the Acheron right in the sights of the flag s.h.i.+p. The woman now dragon followed me into the ocean, her jaws snapping at my heels as I swam deeper, the sunken island or currently sinking island of the Trident city of Atlantis watching on in the distance.

I s.h.i.+fted my direction, going the opposite way, hoping to drag the fight away from the island, but I was worried for nothing as it seemed as if she didn't care, all she wanted to do was to rip my sorry hide to pieces. I could also s.h.i.+ft, but just like my use with the trident I had to focus to do so, and as awesome as I was, I can't do it while moving. It would take practice and before today that would have been a waste; as s.h.i.+ft skill had a rather long cool down. Either way I had to think of something fast because she was drawing close, way too close!

*Snap!!*

*BOOOM!

HOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGGGG*

Just as escaped being eaten by just a hairs breath, a familiar sound rang out, causing shockwaves and vibrations through the ocean. As if on an unspoken agreement, we both stopped and looked above us, watching as the beam from the Ion pulse cannon completely obliterated the s.h.i.+eld and flags.h.i.+p it was protecting, leaving nothing but a flaming heap of metal that wasn't even three fourths of what it once was. Flames and molten metal, along with quite a few bodies fell into the ocean. And whatever was left of thw flags.h.i.+p followed close behind. I quickly swam towards it, hoping to use it descent as an obstacle to evade the dragon lady that I'm very sure would be super p.i.s.sed right about now. 'd.a.m.n it Qitar you awesome green lady!'

But while Dragon lady was no longer interested in me, the Acheron on the other hand now made a very big target. She moved her gaze to me, as if to say 'watch me destroy everything you love' and then she flew out of the ocean in one fell swoop, but luck didn't seem to be on her side lately as she was first a.s.saulted with a hail of turret and gun fire, before Zareth slammed his hulking red dragon body against hers and they crashed right back into the sea, completely entangled in a wrestle of draconic proportions.

Zareth might have pushed her back into the ocean and quite impressively I might add as snapped his ma.s.sive jaws at her, attacking and fighting in a manner reminiscent of the animalistic instinct of a dragon. But anyone with an experienced eye would be able to see everything wrong with this fight, she wasn't actively attacking, but she was letting Zareth exhaust and frantically move his body every which way. She had no intention of dragging this fight out, and was very much stronger than Zareth, she was actually just waiting for the right moment to strike, and then...….she's going to kill him. s.h.i.+t!
