Carrie and Bria were sitting at a table, sipping on Coke cans. They sat and talked amongst themselves in the deep jungles of the underground lair.
"So, Carrie?" Want to do something fun? You know, like a bonding experience?" Bria proposed. She took a sip of her Coke, with her fingers with orange nails grasping the red can.
"I am glad you asked." Carrie agreed. "How about we go to the Georgia Aquarium and see the seal show?" Carrie's proposal sounded exciting.
"Sure, I am down with that!" Bria and Carrie told Layla that they were going to the Georgia Aquarium.
"Layla, me and Bria are going to the Georgia Aquarium." Carrie informed Layla. "Can we use the TigerMobile?"
"Absolutely not, the TigerMoblie is for all of us." Layla did not approve of the use of her beloved invention. "You can use the orange Ferrari that is parked in Arthur's car collection, I am sure he doesn't mind."
"I do not mind if you use the Ferrari, I have 5 Ferraris already." Arthur gave the green light to Bria and Carrie to use the orange Ferrari to go to the Georgia Aquarium. Bria and Carrie went to the car garage which was next door to the Tiger Lady underground headquarters and took the orange sports car. Layla, Zuri, Ji-Ae and Arthur waved good-bye.
"Bye, have fun!" Everyone waved at Bria and Carrie as they departed to the Georgia Aquarium. When they were driving on the highway, Bria began to turn some music on. "Survivor" by Destiny's Child was playing on the radio. Carrie switched it to another station and "She's a Rebel" played.
"See that? That is music."
"Hey, I was listening to that!" Bria complained.
"Sorry that it sucked!" Carrie replied with a hint of sass.
"Well, I am the one driving the car, so you will listen to what I want." Bria changed it back to "Survivor". She reached Midtown and saw the new American flags flying where the Stars and Stripes would be. It was a blue and white bicolor with Massechusets's state flower, the Mayflower, on the upper left hand corner of the flag in all its purple glory.
"That must be the new American flag that was assigned to America after the war reparations." Carrie commented, seeing the purple flowers on the flags.
"Looks like it." Bria replied. "Say, did you hear about Sarah's platform?"
"Yea, just the same old Democratic agenda." Carrie sighed. "Tax the rich, push climate regulations, same old same old."
"Those ideas existed long before she was president, don't ya know?" Bria mentioned. "Sarah didn't invent them, she put her emblem on them, that purple K Shield with the crossed swords."
"Yes, indeed." Carrie mentioned. "She's a billionaire president that works for everyone."
"That lady has her emblem on everything in Atlanta save for the State Capitol, yet alone her face." Bria mentioned. Bria and Carrie parked their car in the aquarium parking deck, got out and headed to the aquarium. Inside, there were many people there. Some teens on fancy dates, school kids on field trips, and even security guards in blue uniforms patrolling the area. There were also male and female late Gen Z and Gen Alpha hipsters wearing royal blue trucker hats with FAB written on them.
"Fab?" Bria reacted. "What does that mean?"
"Future and Beyond, that was Sarah's campaign slogan for the 2032 election." Carrie explained.
"Ok, enough talk about politics, let's see the seal show." Bria and Carrie got in line for the seal show, paid the fee and sat in the stands.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am your trainer, Claudia Finch, and welcome to the seal show." The trainer with short brown hair and wearing a black and blue wetsuit announced. "A friendly reminder that there is no smoking, food or drinks allowed in this arena, since it attracts bugs and smoking hurts the seals' lungs. With that being said, let's give a round of applause to our seal, here he is, Mr. Seymour!" Seymour swam out of the water.
"Hello, Seymour!" Claudia greeted the seal. She handed Seymour a ball. "Balance this ball for me! Seymour grew sharp teeth and bit the ball, popping it.
"Ok, you don't want the ball?" Claudia asked. "Ok, do some tricks in the water." Seymour swam in the water and stopped in the middle of the pool. He popped his head out and screamed a loud ear bleeding scream. His eyes glowed bright green and he had teeth like needles. He spewed toxic waste into the crowd. Some of the people hit by the blast turned into mutant monsters and attacked the crowd. The people ran and fled the arena. Carrie and Bria pressed the buttons on their wristwatches and turned into Amazon form.
"I'll get these people to safety, you deal with the seal monster." Bria told Carrie. Bria led the evacuation out of the aquarium.
"Guard, get these people out of the aquarium!" Bria ordered a security guard.
"Why should I listen to you?" The seal ate another security guard whole and grew bigger.
"That's why." Bria elaborated. The guards tried to get everyone to safety.
"Everyone exit the building in an orderly manner, no trampling, stampeding, pushing or shoving!" A female security guard yelled. Meanwhile, Carrie was greeted by Travis Cassidy, one of the Bottom 5 of the Ten Gervaise.
"Saddle up, partner! This shit's gonna get hairy!" He had pale albino white skin and dressed like an Old Western outlaw. He started riding on Seymour. Bria decided to help Carrie when she came running towards her.
"Bria, thank God you're here." Carrie mentioned. Help me deal with these monsters while I just try to stay alive." Carrie dodged and evaded the seal's attacks. Carrie stuck her sword in a monster, drawing green blood from it. The monster exploded. Bria jumped backwards in the air and sliced the arm off a monster. She sliced its chest, causing the monster to explode. Bria just beheaded the third monster, causing it to explode.
"Good moves for a woman." The outlaw man taunted. "I'm Number 10, Travis Cassidy." The mutant man introduced himself. "And you, Little Miss Maria Von Trapp, look like you belong in the kitchen." Carrie sliced his arm off with her sword after that remark.
"YOU BASTARD!" Carrie shrieked. He fell off the seal when it tried to run away. Bria chased down the seal and shot it with a revolver pistol, killing it. Travis's arm regenerated.
"That won't stop me so easily." Travis had an entirely new arm where his old arm used to be. He shot bullets at Carrie, while she deflected them with her sword. Travis ran out of bullets, then threw a stick of dynamite at Bria. Bria knew what she had to do, she remembered her training. She dashed the same time the dynamite was thrown. When the dynamite was thrown, the fuse was cut off. Travis wanted to know what to make of the situation.
"Looking for something?" Bria held the severed fuse top in her hand, throwing it in the air. It went out. Travis's body split in two, but the two halves reconnected into a new body.
"No matter how many times you kill this guy, he just won't die!" Bria felt frustrated. Carrie tried to figure out the mutant's weakness.
"You two can't beat me, so why not make yourself useful and do the dishes." Travis taunted. Carrie shut him up by shooting him with her Colt revolver.
"You were lucky I didn't shoot out your tongue." The bullet hit his chest, but he regenerated. Bria decided to jump in the air, do a somersault and slice Travis's head clean off, sending it rolling on the floor.
"Your head's off, this time stay down!" Travis's head turned to black coalish powder, along with the rest of his body. The black sand that used to be Travis's body had slowly disappeared. The seal remained a dead animal, but had its mutant qualities removed after its death.
Hours later, Seymour was buried next to the Georgia Aquarium. His grave had a decorative plaque that said,
In Memory of a Fallen Seal
Seymour the Seal
2018-2033
Fifteen years of well deserved love.
Claudia came to leave flowers on his grave.
"Normally I would hate you for killing Seymour, but since he went haywire and all, that seemed like the only way to save him." Claudia hugged Bria. "Thank you, you set him free."
"Don't mention it, it's part of what we do as the Tiger Lady Corps!" Carrie added. They went back to the Ferrari to head home to Arthur's mansion.
