Lost Little Sea Boys (A LUCA FanFiction and Crossover)

Ch. 41: Battle in Abu Dhabi

As Akiko and her gang started from the Sontaya Restaurant, Ercolé and a band of Assassins entered Abu Dhabi as they were looking for Luca and Alberto. Akiko saw Ercolé and immediately followed through with an idea. "Guys! Ercolé's here! Get to that ocean, over there! There's only one boat over there, so Ercolé won't be able to get to you since he can't swim. I'll stall him." She instructed.
"But, what if you get hurt?" Alberto frowned.
"I'll be fine. When you all leave safely, I'm out of here. Just go." Akiko said as she smiled warmly. Alberto smiled back as he led the others to the boat. As soon as everyone was out of sight, Ercolé saw Akiko and immediately ran up to her, infuriated. "Where are they?!" He demanded. Akiko readied herself to fight as she secretly looked to her left, seeing the others on the boat and leaving. She smiled mischievously. "Oh, gee, I don't know." Akiko said, trying her best to play dumb. Ercolé pushed Akiko to the ground. "Don't play dumb with me! WHERE ARE THEY?!" He boomed. Akiko got up as she once again readied herself to fight. "Not going to tell me, eh? Well, fine with me. I was going to kill you anyway." Ercolé sneered. One of the Assassins' facial expressions conveyed fear for Akiko, but he knew he had no choice but to follow through with Ercolé. Ercolé quickly ran to punch Akiko, but Akiko was too fast. She dodged the punch as she grabbed Ercolé's arm and threw him down. Ercolé got back up and shoved Akiko as Akiko's feet were planted firmly to the ground, so she didn't go anywhere. Akiko shoved Ercolé as Ercolé stumbled a bit before attacking again, grabbing Akiko's legs and throwing her to the ground. One of the Assassins, Echo Ocean, watched in fear and concern as Akiko was on the ground. Echo wanted to help Akiko, but he knew he couldn't. Akiko got back up and punched Ercolé in the gut and as soon as Ercolé hunched over, Akiko grabbed Ercolé's face and kneed Ercolé right in the middle of his forehead. Alberto, from the boat, watched with a shocked expression. Akiko then left the scene as she jumped into the water a minute later, transforming into a Mermaid. "Where is she?" Bella asked, worried.
"She left the land, and into the water, but is she okay?" Trollex added. The group then saw a pink light from below, illuminating the water. It was Akiko's Mermaid tail! Akiko leapt majestically from the water as she transformed back to her normal form as she landed epically and gracefully in the square middle of the boat. The group was shocked! Echo was impressed. Moments later, Ercolé got back up and ran to the Ocean to see that Akiko and the group managed to escape successfully. Echo smiled. On the boat, Alberto climbed onto Akiko's back and waved tauntingly at Ercolé. "Bye-bye, Binturi." He said in a mocking tone. Akiko told him one time what the word 'binturi' meant. The word meant 'enemy' or 'foe'. Everyone else laughed as Echo, the young Assassin, laughed quietly. Ercolé was furious. "NO!" He boomed as he stomped his foot in anger. Echo smiled and as soon as Ercolé walked past, Echo stopped smiling as the other Assassins followed Ercolé through Abu Dhabi. Echo looked at the boat, straight into Akiko's eyes, and smiled warmly. Akiko was surprised. The young Assassin had to leave after, and followed Ercolé and the other Assassins. Akiko sat down, her eyes wide with disbelief, as she smiled.
