Chapter 37
Do we have eyes? No King Aqua we can't see him. Aqua closed his eyes attaching himself to the sight of hundreds of sea life. Aqua? Don't touch him my Queen he is communicating with sea life. Shell sat back in the chair next to his at the control panel of the submarine. I know where he went she whispered. Where my Queen? Here he dipped through a underwater tunnel. Aqua opened his eyes anything? No Shell. Here she pointed to the dark hole if he is not in there in stealth mode then he went in and came out. Have you checked his salt ions?
Aqua gave her a look. Okay Shell responded giving up. She sat back quiet. My king there are submarine ion emissions in the water that aren't ours close to that tunnel. Shell grinned saying nothing Aqua chuckled follow the trial with caution Charter the course to follow ion emissions.
Cut the light they floated into the under water caves blackness. The inside of the sub was pitch black as was the outside. The only one who could see though the masking darkness was Aqua. There were no sea life in there with them which means they scattered at the presence of an underwater vessel.
Shell was breathing heavy with excitement. Half the guards were in tails the other half on legs. Do we know who is on the escape sub? Not 100% King Aqua.
Aqua clicked his tongue something he did when he was in deep thought. Shell thought it was sexy. She stared at his eyes they lit and glowed in the dark she never saw another Merman's eyes do that. Get my electric stun guns up I want to kick out their maps and energy.
Yes Sire. They rose the electronic gun beams. Slow it down. Yes King Aqua. Two knots. Yes sir. Over there on the left wall set the gun 6 degrees north 8 knots to the left. Give it a low shot on my mark Aqua sat on the edge of the captains chair. Now he commanded. The low grade pulse hit the growing Lilly pad vines.
The wall behind the vines crumbles cave falling beneath them. WHIRLLLLLLLLL! Link's submarine flew out from behind the wall of baby lily pads. His power was less.
Baby he has a back up generator on the right side back of the vessel. Thank you Ms I promise. The guards smiled full throttle stay on his tail do not let him slip away!
Lights! They chased Links through dark waters. Stay on him! Link zig zagged in and out of caves coves and narrow spaces he had to get through upside down.
Damn this Merger! Link cursed I know its fucking Shell! There is no way he knows these waters! Pass my back pack! Link strapped the vintage United States Army duffle bag to his back. Link navigated the hell out his submarine laughing manically YEAH MERGER YOU CANT GET ME! He yelled.
Shell stood to her feet she stared at the console watching the maps SHOOT HIM AQUA! Shell sit down! Baby shoot him you have to stop him! Please! Guards! The guards gently pushed her in her seat. Left! Aqua instructed his top Naval officer. Aqua!
The submarine chased Link fast water bubbles blinding them as the mermen raced faster and faster. Aqua closed his eyes and opened them OH MY GOD! Aqua's crew yelled.
They looked out the windows on the sides of the sub. Oh GOD! Shell screamed as a blue whale sailed above them rushing to get to Link. Aqua! What Mermaid?!
You gotta stop him and you got three minutes. Three minutes until what Shell? The submarine shook a large jelly fish grabbed them from moving forward. Aqua closed his eyes seconds later the fish released them. Aqua Gabe chase through muddy waters after link who bumped a wall.
Large rocks and debris fell the blue whale slapping the rocks out of Aqua's path one of the rock's tapped the submarine they were in slightly pushing them off course. The whale fanned his tail pulling them back on course the waves escorting them back to where they were.
The whales head and body straightened and pointed. Shell looked at his body pulling Aquas shirt nervously.
What baby? Aqua! What bae?! Staff had no idea why she was so tense. The submarine operator had no idea what was happening. Stay in the cascading bubbles of the whales trail. The blue whale sped up jumping high. Aqua went up through the water portal behind the great whale in a trail of salt water bubbles sand and debris.
Aqua NO! AHHHHHH! Shell covered her eyes knowing what was going to happen next.
The whale landed spreading the water around it spiraling Aqua and his crew out of control who all fell to the submarine floor. Aqua caught Shell before she could roll hitting a wall.
Sun light flooded the submarine captains cabin as his crew and guards collected their bearings staring in awe out the windows not believing their eyes. For the first time in their lives they saw land and were surrounded by sandy beaches they only read about in books and learned about in school as guppie Mer. Water settled as the submarine bobbed in and out of water like a ball rocking Aqua and crew as the whale circled chasing Link toward dry land.
Aqua put his sun glasses on smiling devilish while Shell caught her breath trembling sitting on Aqua's lap. You wanted an adventure Shell?
How was that for adventure bae?
