Axion stand at the balcony. She gaze far to the horizon. Strafkasing lake can be seen from here. The surface of the lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the sky. The wind sweeps waves on the lake. No one would have thought that underneath the calm water lies monsters of the deep. Axion's mind reimagining the picture of monsters that Kaizo's mother showed them.
According to Kaizo's mother, deep beneath the darkness of the lake, there's a cave where the monsters live. The monsters have various shape. Some of them have tail of a snake and body of a human. Their skin covered with scales. They have big mouth and sharp teeth.
Axion looked sharp at the lake. No one knows the work of the dark more than Axion does.
"Axion, is it?" Kaizo's mother ask as she walks towards Axion
Axion looked back. "Oh. yes"
She walk towards the railing and join Axion gazing at the horizon. "Beautiful isn't it" she said as she sigh
Axion glance at the lake.
"It's okay" said Kaizo's mother, noticing Axion's gaze. "My husband fight for this planet's peace. And I'm proud of him"
They both silent for a moment.
"You know, when I see you with Kaizo, I feel relieved" she began. "Kaizo is such a stiff child. His father is a leader of this planet. He always look up to his father so he often push himself to be like him" said Kaizo's mother.
Axion chuckled. "Yeah I can see that"
"Haha. I thought that child would fill himself with doing missions and working. It worries me at first. But now that he have you. I'm happy for him" she said.
Kaizo's mother sighed. "What was he like out there?" she ask
"Kaizo is stiff. Like you said, he take his mission seriously" Axion smiled "He often look down on his opponents. And he often harsh at Fang" Axion continue
"What? Really? How harsh?" she chuckled
"Like any Captain" said Axion. "I know he's hard on Fang because he's worried. But sometimes, I think his attitude is just too harsh for Fang. They're brothers after all"
"It must be hard for Kaizo. Fang maybe too young to understand when Borara came. But Kaizo, even though still a kid, smart enough to understand what is happening. It must be hard for him to keep hiding Fang from what happened to us" said Kaizo's mother.
Kaizo's mother take a deep breath as she stretch her arms. "Tell me how did you two end up together" she said
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Admiral, admiral can you hear me?" said Fang through the communicator
"Yes, I can hear you Fang"
The screen buzzes. Bit by bit, the Admiral's face emerges. Suddenly, Boboiboy and his friends pushed each other into the camera.
"Fang!! Fang!! You there?" Boboiboy yelled
"B-Boboiboy?!!" Fang startled.
"Fang, where are you? Why didn't you tell us...."
"Yeah, we could've gone with you" said Yaya, cutting Boboiboy
Fang nervously chuckled.
The Admiral pushed them away.
"Report" said the Admiral.
"We are now inside Gogobugi's Governor headquarters" said Fang
"Good. It looks like you managed to get in. How's the situation?" Admiral ask.
"We managed to land safely and grouped with the resistance here. We're also dealing with monsters, Admiral. We're sending you all data" said Kaizo
"Hm?" Vion mumbled
"Is something wrong, Vion?" ask Commander
"These monsters are the ones that attacks you?" Vion asked
"We haven't meet the monsters on field yet. But these are data's that locals have collected" said Kaizo
"Do you know something about it?" Lahap ask
"I know creatures similar to these. But I don't think they would be able to do extraterrestrial travel" said Vion
"What creature?" Kaizo ask.
Vion showed pictures of Nagas.
"They are called 'Naga'. They live deep underwater. In a world called Azeroth, the Naga have a very long history. They are some of the most formidable villains. Masters of sorcery, the naga were formerly Higborne Night elves. They were transformed into naga by the Old Gods, and now haunt the seas of Azeroth, building a great civilization on the ocean floor" Vion explain
"I'm sending you all data about Naga. Maybe you should try asking Axion. She should know more since sorcery is her expertise" Vion continue
"I'll keep that in mind" said Kaizo
"Allright. Let's move to the next step. Can you find a safe route in and out?" ask Commander
"Yeah. So we can come and join you" said Boboiboy, pushing the commander
"We'll work on that" said Fang.
The Commander pushed Boboiboy and growl. "Okay. Anyway, try not to bring the fight first until we can prepare some defenses"
"Yes Commander" said Kaizo and Fang as they give salute.

Trivia
Do you know the difference between lake and lagoon?
A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean, and therefore are distinct from lagoons, and are also larger and deeper than ponds, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which are usually flowing. Most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams.
A lagoon is a shallow body of water separated from a larger body of water by barrier islands or reefs. Lagoons are commonly divided into coastal lagoons and atoll lagoons. They have also been identified as occurring on mixed-sand and gravel coastlines. There is an overlap between bodies of water classified as coastal lagoons and bodies of water classified as estuaries. Lagoons are common coastal features around many parts of the world.
Based on wikipedia
I use the word lagoon instead of lake because lagoon is closer to the sea while lake is surrounded by land and not part of the sea.
Why?
Because Nagas are sea creatures.
Lagoons depths rarely exceed 60 metres (about 200 feet) and many are shallower, usually less than 20 metres(about 65 feet) deep. I know, this depth are too shallow for Nagas because they're deep sea creatures.
But in the story, the meteor fall on the lagoon, digging deep under the lagoon's floor. Which makes the lagoon deep enough for the Nagas to live. Plus, since lagoon is close to the sea, they can access and expand their territories for bigger monsters.
