“The king welcos the humans.” A voice said from beside the king in an audible tone.
The humans seed very skeptical about this, as the atmosphere at the mont didn’t give any form of friendliness. At that mont, there was only one possible outco everyone there thought of. It was definitely a ploy from the very beginning to not work any peace out between both sides.
These humans were not the bottom feeders. Each was a leader in his/her respective group, so they were no stranger to manipulation tactics, and they also knew quite well what the look they were getting ant.
For the first ti after entering the room, the supposed king spoke. “Hmm.” He certainly seed comfortable on his throne, clearly not afraid of the humans before him.
“They do not et the standard, just as expected. They are useless.” The king said, audible and blatantly, without any fear or respect for the human subjects.
Hearing the king say this, one of those who stood close to the throne walked before the king’s throne so distance away, and after a slight bow, “Shall we then proceed to phase two?” The other asked.
“Yes, just as planned.” The king answered, sternly.
The king looked well aged and experienced. By well aged, I an not that he was old, he just looked better than most his age would look, according to human standards. He looked to be in his forties, and his smooth silky skin was still not of an old man, nor was his physique. Just like every other creature from the sea, he had two legs and physiology similar to humans, with so differences here and there.
“Wait.. Just hold on. Certainly, you don’t include in whatever it is you fish heads are planning, right?” Victor said, as he stood from the little chair he sat in and took so steps forward.
The guards in the room seed to not like his movents and words, though. They were just about to make a move when the advisor to the king, or the position this one seed to play, gave them a visual signal not to react.
“Not everyone here is under your foot.” Victor said.
Before he finished his sentence however, Orvion Baxter Ran passed him at full speed aiming at the king. It sure was contradictory, and made it look as though it was a plan from the very beginning. Victor might have thought about moving to stop him, but the death of the king didn’t sound like much of a problem to himself in anyway.
It was obvious what the plan was, and truth be told, he suspected it the mont he saw that Orvion was also on the trip.
‘All high and mighty talking crap, probably didn’t thing this would happen.’ Orvion thought to himself, and so did the rest with similar voices in their heads. Even Victor was impressed that the humans actually dared to fight soone in the enemy’s ho ground, where the enemy had the advantage. Perhaps, they had gotten too confident.
‘Well…’
It was certainly not expected, as the guards dashed forward to intersect Orvion and stop him, they were very surprised to realize that their skills were no longer effective. Orvion easily tore through them, dropping them dead in one single move before continuing towards the king.
The rest of the water dwellers were pretty much surprised, but managed to move on impulse to protect the king, but fell to the hands of one of the scientists who seed to have co prepared with a weapon in hand for the occasion.
With the guards and those around the king down, Orvion moved in, not for the kill, but perhaps to take the king hostage. As it was, they were now in enemy territory, and needed a safe ticket out.
*Stops in mid air *Fvrrrm
“Impudent.” Said the king, under his breath.
Orvion’s body stopped mid air just as he closed in on the king after leaping. For the first ti since he got out of the vehicle that brought them to Atlantis, Orvion felt like he was under water. The only thing now was that this water didn’t just surround him, it pushed in on him from all directions, and held him in place.
“What’s going on!” The other who ran forward after Orvion moved shouted towards Orvion, but the answer for him ca from a different source, and it was definitely not what he was hoping to hear. Just like with Orvion, the water around him moved and constricted him before slamming him to the ground several tis.
Orvion’s skill was still activated, as he wasn’t down yet, and refused to give up. He turned his attention to the one he believed would be able to do sothing, Victor.
Following his gaze, the king turned to Victor, and he understood the gaze Orvion had at the mont.
“You..” The king said, just as the water around Victor also started attempting to squeeze him. The only difference however, was that Victor wasn’t like the other two.
“I was going to suggest a friendlier option, but seeing as you had no plan to let us go from the start, I too will not be complying.” Victor said.
At the mont, not only Orvion’s, but everybody’s mouths dropped. Even the king who had been maintaining a calm composure now had a small frown on his face. “Have you?… No, It’s not possible. That has to be sothing else.” He said.
All round Victor, the water started boiling with small fizzles first, then everything liquid around him went completely out of control as the temperature from Victor’s body constantly disrupted the water around.
p
He could always use his ability whenever Orvion used his ability on him, Victor just never showed this card as it was not needed.
“Innate ability? What are you talking about?… I see.. I panicked for nothing.” The king said.
Though it seed like Victor had countered the king perfectly, what happened next changed everyone’s view.
The king, while still seated on his throne, grabbed onto the side arms of the throne a bit tighter, and in matter of seconds, the water within and around the room began acting funny and swirling. It was but a wave of controlled water in the throne room, but the people outside had a different story to tell.
The people of Atlantis, knew their king was angry.
.
From above the surface of the ocean, in re matter of seconds, a whirlpool, bigger than anything humans had ever seen before appeared upon the ocean and began sucking everything in. The strength and size of the whirlpool was so strong that from above it looked like the earth was giving way to hell.
Under 7 to 10 seconds, the whirlpool reached Atlantis, and suddenly whatever Victor was doing beca useless.
Feeling what was to co, he could only say a few words.
“no, shit.”
