Heroes Legion: "Year One": Episode 12: Atlantean Dawn!

Chapter 6: Depth Charge's Revenge!

Ten Minutes ago....

Palace of Atlantis, District of Air: December 20th, 2013: 4:50 AM

Sarkly was currently still in the throne room of Atlantis, languishing in the spoils of his alliance with Depth Charge that had secured for him more power over Atlantis and its people than he had ever dreamed of.

The Monarchy was his!

With the guardian council locked away in the same prison they had "unrightfully" imprisoned him in a few months ago, the King and Queen locked up in the Council of Justice's dungeons, the Military might of Atlantis at his beck and call, it was almost a perfect victory...save for one or two things.

Justin and his troops who had fled during the initial takeover of Atlantis, who had been successful in foiling various attempts to herd Omni-Aquatics into pens, and freeing several Surface dwellers from the occupation he and Depth Charge had created on Seafoam Island in an attempt to draw Atlanta into the trap that they had set for her.

Then there was Atlanta herself, sure they had her in their clutches (Depth Charge and himself) but his time with Atlanta, the time for him to have his revenge on her was cut short because it was Depth charges "turn" to have his revenge.

Making Atlanta mate with him would have been the ultimate payback, so what was it?

What did Depth Charge have in mind for Atlanta that was better that his own revenge plans for that damn girl!?

Also another thing that had piqued Sarkly's curiosity was that before launching the siege of Seafoam Island, Depth Charge and Judas Black had him order his now personal army of brainwashed Atlantean soldiers to go out to a certain area of the Atlantic Ocean 25 miles away from Atlantis.

They came back with some kind of glowing blue gem of some sort.

When he had asked Depth Charge about the gem, he was told it was Dark Elite business and that he should mind his own.

What could that gem have to do with anything?

But as usual, he was left in the dark.

Even as "King", he was still a freaking lackey to Depth Charge's will.

Now here he was, sitting on his throne trying to think up a way to entertain himself now that Depth Charge was taking Atlanta to the Maelstrom Chamber to take her to "Meet her end" in the place of his choosing.

"Can we get some girls in here?" He called out loud, before remembering that Depth Charge had positioned the castle gaurds down into the city to re-enforce their hold on the Citizens and the city streets.

So that meant in actuality he was alone here in the castle, and if he wanted something done for him he was going to have to walk down the hill, and find one of the roving Soldier patrols.

He paused for a second and remembered that the Trial house where the dungeons were kept was on the way down to the city.

He could go down there, and mock the king, queen and Atlanta's freaky surface dwelling friends about Atlanta's impending doom.

Those freaks were just as responsible for ruining his life as Atlanta had been, so seeing the looks on their faces when he informed them of this fact would be quite cathartic indeed.
