Life of Maverick: In the Land of Giant Man Eaters

-Chapter 39: Titan Wars-

Somewhere along a great expansive ocean...

We find our hero floating along a great body of water that seemed to span for miles on end, the only signs of land being the small islands some distance away or the little blips of green beyond the watery horizon.

It didn't matter to him however, the thought of going to dry land was beyond him. For all he wanted at this moment was to freely enjoy the feeling of the blazing sun on his exposed skin, and the cool water below, all while singing a catchy tune he'd heard so long ago in his native tongue.

"Somewhere, do do do doo, beyond the sea...Somewhere waiting for me...♪"

It was an old song, made long before his, his fathers', and even his grandfather's time. Luckily one of their great ancestors had a hobby of collecting a vast variety of music, which had been added to by the following generations over the years. There, stumbled upon during a visit to his grandparents he had heard the melody, and had earned a place in his memories ever since.

"My lover stands on golden saaands, and watches the ships, that go saaailing...♪"

So relaxed and unworried was he that he didn't notice the small bubbles forming around him, till it was too late. With a massive splash an equally massive force pushed him upwards nearly knocking him back into the water.

Shaking his head he rose up to see that he was now atop a massive brown shell, a turtles' shell judging by its texture. But the massive cannon poking through the center filled him in immediately on this creature's identity, as did its voice.

"Blastoise, Bla-lastoise... ♪"

An old companion had joined him in this little trip along the sea and joined him in a duet.

"Blastoise, Blaaas-toise... ♪"

A bright smile flashed on his big ol' face, as this scene was all too familiar. Singing while out on the open sea was an often-enjoyed pastime when they weren't out battling of training. The Orange Islands being an often-yearly vacation spot. Reclining over the hydro canon of the mega evolved shell he continued to sing.

"If I could fly like birds on high! ♪" Raising its head further from the water Blast followed along.

"Then straight to her arms, I'd go sailing! / Blasto-to-to-toise, Blaaastoise! ♪"

The two partners continued to sing to their hearts content as the massive water type swam along the waters. At the songs conclusion the two relaxed, letting the currents carry them wherever.

"*Sigh* S'been a while since we've done that." An agreeable grunt came out from his old friend. While looking up at the avians above he felt a small rumbling, a sign that all this would end soon.

"Oi bud, why don't we take a quick look down under yeah?"

"Blastoise!"

With an eager nod the mega-sized battle turtle quickly dived down into the water, leaving his friend little time to hold onto his cannon and prepared for their descent into the deep.

The sea around them changed to darker shades of blue as they went further down, with numerous species of sea life passing by and around the two. It was always such a spine-tingling sight to see the abyss below, as one would never know what sort of things could be swimming down or rising up just under your feet. But here he felt no worries.
