Jellyfish Princess: Scyphozoa

The First Kiss

~Suieimei's POV~

"EEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" I shriek as I fall from the air at a dangerous and neck breaking rate. I keep my eyes closed as tight as I can, fear contracting around my chest as if it's goal is to make my chest burst with fear and anxiety as I wait for my body to painfully collide with something. I continue to fall through the air, wind howling wildly in my ears like feral horses galloping throughout the fields. I sense that I'm drawing nearer to whatever I'm going to crash into and just as I expected, second later my body crashes down! But unlike my expectation I feel no pain, instead I feel the all too familiar warmth I get whenever I am embraced by bodies of water. "Huh?" I question as I eyes slowly peek open and I look around confused as my body floats effortless in the water.

"Wh-where am I?" I question as I look around the empty waters but see nothing. 'Wait, I sense something floating in the waters, according to my tentacles it's a.....boat? Hold on the fish's tail, am I in the ship wreck zone?!' I think, my emotions becoming ecstatic resulting in my former emotions of fear and anxiety to be suppressed in no time. This couldn't have been a better outcome! I excel in the water, it's my domain and the element I fight in the best! "Ah, this is so wonderful! I really did luck out, landing here" I say happily as I clap my hands together gleefully. "Hehehe! That luck won't last long lassie! Cause you're about to die right here and now!" A deep voice says, cutting through the waves of the sea and piercing my ears causing my body to automatically tense up.

I look all around me but I'm unable to find the source of the voice! 'Don't tell me there are villains in the water!' I think feeling panic rise up within me as I "look" around but I'm unable to find the villain. Ether this person isn't here and I'm just hearing things or they're really good at hiding their presence from me which is something that only a master at the art of stealth can do. "Below you kid!" The same vice calls out and I look below me to see a man with a face that looks exactly like a hammerhead shark's looking at me with a very threatening smile that shows off his many rows of razor sharp teeth. The man shark is swimming towards me at incredible speeds causing a pang of dread and terror to shoot through me like a metal bullet. "Hehehe, look alive girlie!" The man says as he gets extremely close to me and goes to bite my entire leg off!

Luckily I quick enough to dodge his attack but it doesn't stop there. The man continues to nip and claw at me, not allowing me a moment of rest to think of a plan or counter attack him. A few times the man was only a hair's width away from sinking his long, razor sharp claws into my skin! Now that would have been painful! 'No! Now isn't the time to be afraid, you have to fight if you want to survive!' I think as I dodge the villain's swift attacks one after the other. I continue to dodge and after some time I've noticed the villain's movements getting more sloppy and less relentless. 'Now!' I think as I spot an opening in this attacks, without waiting for a second to pass I secrete acid related poison on my hands before swiftly grabbing the villain by the neck and pressing my poison covered hands onto his gills. "U-ugh! L-let go of me!" I villain cries out in pain as he kicks wildly but I hang on to his neck like my life depended on it, which it does.

After a few moments of struggling the villain finally passes out from pain and his body quickly sinks to the bottom of the small artificial lake we're in. I let out a sigh of relief as I allow the poison on my hands to be wiped away by the waters surrounding me. "That was nerve wrecking" I mutter and start to swim around, 'it's best if I try to find anyone else who landed here with me, I sure hope I'm not here alone' I think nervously as my feet kick up and down in a fluid motion, pushing my body through the still waters of the artificial lake. As soon as my thoughts ended the image of Midoriya's determined but reassuring expression flashes through my mind. 'No, I'm not alone. I'm sure of it's I think as a gentle but confident smile appears on my face but this time I don't fight it. As I swim around at a fast pace I sense two people near by, one is moving slowly and the other is moving around quickly. 'Let's hope that's one of my classmates at least!' I think as I go full speed towards the two people.
