The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 34 - On Better Terms

Last chapter, the dastardly duo along with an unwilling Seric start a heist and escape mission from The Long Sleeved Pirates ship, but it's not easy as giant mobs start to attack them, along with an enraged Popshot. Luckily they get through these troubles, and make it to the deck in which Seric just jumped off of to the watery depths below.

Seric's P.O.V.

"AHHHHHHH!" I yell out in fright and excitement as I make a huge and painful splash into the water below, and a second later I hear another. Not wanting to destroy my eyes I frantically swim up to the surface with my eyelids shut, luckily with the ocean not being too wavy as of now.

"Hey, My Best Friend!" I call out desperately not wanting to be in this giant void that hides killer creatures a second longer, and just like that my pure semi-neon white boat appears from thin air right in front of me next to the giant mass of Adesia's silver galleon.

Without hesitation Karia swims over to and climbs onto the boat with relative ease, running over to the back of it to pull my smaller self up.

"Phew... wait, where's King Metallica and his stupid bags that weigh a t-"

"YAAAAAAAAAASHASHASHA!" I'm interrupted as a huge robotic laugh and scream comes out of nowhere, and looking above me where the sound is coming from I can briefly see a small blur of silver and two giant blurs of white zooming down towards our ship.

*CRASH*

"That was quite the merry landing!" King Metallica says in a carefree tone after he lands on top of me, as I'm currently being crushed under one of the giant bags.

"Where's Seric, we can't finish a heist without the awesome, speedy, getaway driver!" He says obliviously to which I can't even respond, and I can also hear Karia laughing her ass off.

She stops laughing for a second, "Oh, he just wanted some of that sweet loot." And resumes right after of course.

"Hey, Seric! Where are ya pal?!" King Metallica yells out as he drags the bag across my face, until I'm guessing Karia finally points in my direction and he lifts it off of me.

"Ah! Come on stop slacking, I'm not paying you for nothing eh!" He says with enthusiasm as he yanks me up with his cold metal hands, dusting off my shirt and pushing me towards the giant joystick in the middle of the small deck of the pure white boat.

"Ugh, leave me alone..." I say in an annoyed tone as I try to pull the joystick back but I'm still too damaged to.

"Tick tock kid or you may just find yourself under another bag!" Karia says impatiently as she walks up to me and flicks my head.

"PISS O-"

"Hah... that was far too embarrassing, I thought my crew would at least be able to do something against the likes of you three." I hear someone yell down in a calm voice, and looking up Adesia and her crew are leaning off the railing staring our puny "crew" down.

"Oh shit!" I yell out as I snap back to reality and pull back the long joystick, until Karia forcibly removes my hand from it.

"Wait Seric. So, I bet you regret what you did now flame bitch." Karia yells back up with her arms crossed and a cocky grin.

"No, not quite, after all it was only fair. One of my men overheard your and that stupid bots evil and "genius plan" through your infirmary rooms door last night and reported it to me immediately in the room next door. Since my crew was quite weak against the likes of you and Seric, I thought making all of them work together to take you three down would be good training. In the end all I got was a whole bunch of destroyed people and buildings..." Adesia says as she closed her eyes and sighs.
