I finish eating the martigar and look towards what I believe is the docks as I look towards where the boat is heading. I don't see much but I can sense them, they know I'm here and they are coming. It's time to get payback for the attempted domination and murder.
I head in the direction of the docks and after a moment, I see the carnage. There are namiens looking at me while sitting on their respective martigars. I give out a powerful roar to show that I don't fear them. I then feel a connection happen again, at that point I see him. The lord from before who tried to domesticate me, then try to kill me when I refused.
"So we meet again, Carcho!" He was amused for some reason. "You come back to us and kill my people. But this time, you can't plead misinformed."
"I have no plans to do such a thing now. You attempted to kill me after I didn't want to be yours. I come to end your attack, and especially your life!" I retorted
"Oh such strong words for a weak beast." He said as he moved forward with his elder martigar. "Do you think you can beat us?" He opened his arms to show his force with him
"Yes I do. You need to understand the strength of a mighty Carchocles!" I declare with immense pride.
"Come then, beast" he gives a serious tone. "Come to deaths open embrace"
"I WILL TAKE THAT OFFER!" I say as I rush forward, straight towards him.
*small flashback to when I was cleaning the restrooms and talking to the elder*
So what you're saying is that I can change my transformation as I please?
(Yes, I don't have to transform you since it's your power that I'm influencing.)
That sounds amazing, so you're telling me I can grow wings on myself in shark form and fly?! I am excited when hearing this
(That is possible, but transformation takes quite a bit of energy to do. The reason you were able to transform your body back and forward like you have been doing is because you didn't add anything excessive. The most you added were the lungs, and that is as simple as adding a diaphragm to underneath your lungs and morphing them a little bit)
Ok I understand what you're saying, I just need to know if I can make things mid battle and not pass out?
(Depends on what you want? A sharp bone on your forehead like a sword isn't much, but making wings will take more and will lower your mass considerably. So just keep in mind that the more mass changed, the more energy needed. Adrenaline can help this, but like in a human body. It only boosts you then goes away after a moment)
I can make use of this, so how would I do it?
(Go meditate after you're done here and you'll see.)
So meditating will help me with that as well? Nice! meditation is sounding better and better.
(You have to feel your mana moving around your body, it will grab more from the atmosphere and add it to yours. This mana in your body is what's gonna be used to change your body. So make sure to get a feel for it before utilizing it as there are many consequences for not using it right.)
This is some serious business, isn't it?
(Yes, so make sure to not try anything you know will be too much for you!)
Alright, will do!
*back to the fight*
Alright, let's make use of this. I use my imagination and see the mana in my body, then use it to push a long point out of the front of my body like a sword or a tusk on a swordfish.
As I rush the elder martigar, he also pushes at me which initiated everything else to come as well. There's none of them underneath him so I take advantage of this. I quickly dash under the elder martigar, surprising it as it expected me to go for its rider after seeing my fight with the others. at this point I actually push out the tusk thing from my Forehead and stab it in the stomach of the elder martigar.
It reels back in pain and does the roar, which sends everything back except for me as I'm basically attached with my tusk. I push out more and try to thin one of the edges to make a blade. After I do something like it, I bend my body and push forward. If my calculations were correct from the size of the elder martigar, this should cut its spine or at least hit somewhere in its lungs.
It tries to shake me off but to no avail. I slash down and sure enough, I hit something vital as it starts to panic for a moment then stop moving entirely. Blood starts coming out of its mouth, I hit either somewhere in the lungs or the esophagus.
The lord namien is pissed, "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!"
"As I said. don't underestimate your enemy, EVER!" I say as I pull back my tusk and rush to the top of the dead body and chomp at the lord namien.
He was too fast and lumped off. I swim for him and go for the chomp, just to get a mouth full of martigar arm. I saw it coming but expected it to try and grab me. If it did get me in the grab, I'd have gotten the lord namien and just transform into something smaller to escape his grasp or injure it enough to make it let go.
After the close call, the lord called out and another namien with their martigar got him and they left towards land. I get irritated as he's acting like most weak bosses and stupidly use their strongest card just to use it wrong, lose it, and run away. He's just gonna be a bitch, isn't he?!
I switch my attention to the injured martigar next to me as it goes for the grab this time. Hell no will I let you grab me now! I chomp on its hand, then chomp for the namien while the martigar retreats it's hands. The namien wasn't as fast as his lord as I get his leg and thrash around, taking his leg off. It screeches as I do a second chomp and end it's life.
This grabs the now riderless martigars attention as now it's going for me. However I have other plans so I swim off before it could get me. I head towards where the lord martigar went and see where their main force went. I take advantage of this and roar at the entire group, grabbing everyone's attention.
This may seem dumb, but I have an actual plan. After they see me, it is apparent that the lord told them what I did as everyone rushes me at once with intense malice in their eyes.
I use this and swim off just fast enough to where they can't get me but enough to where they think they can get me.
The lord is in charge of them on another martigar that seems to be the oldest out of them all so it may be the next elder martigar? Idk, I just keep going. I hope this helps them as I'm essentially dragging the majority of the namien force away from the docks.
I then hear Levine's voice, "hey where are you?"
"You know, just swimming away from the docks with the majority of the namien force after me since I killed the eldest martigar a minute ago." I say sassily at her.
"Really?! That's amazing, we were having issues on land but the main force of them just went back and left. We thought that they were regrouping but now we can get them back!" She sounds happy and relieved so I guess I saved them.
I look back again and see them still on me, but the lord has a smirk on his face. He has a plan, I'm not dumb enough to think that he will only rely on his army to get me, right?
*inside the head of the namien prince*
He is weak as he isn't going that fast, so he is definitely tired. I don't care about the invasion anymore. HE KILLED MY FUCKING HEAD SLAVE. Father is going to be pissed when he hears this, I need to either capture this Carcho or get its head as I cant afford to head back empty handed after loosing so much!
*back to megafish*
I need to be careful as he may have a group of them up ahead to ambush me. Let's see here, maybe.....yea I'll do that! I go down to the depths and slowly go back towards them in an attempt to pick one or two off. Of course they don't suspect a thing and head down with me, not knowing my plan.
I already expect them to have some sort of night vision, but they have to have a limit to how good they can see since they have eyes that are proficient in using the light to see. I am the same but I plan to use something I believe they don't, the imagination.
As we go deeper, it get severely harder to see since the light has a limit to how far it can penetrate the water. I keep going until there's no way of seeing without looking up towards the surface. At a certain point, the martigars stop following me and sit there, watching me go deeper.
I stop and watch them as well, I use my imagination to make sure nothing is coming from behind me. The lord then speaks to me.
"You have a death wish if you want to go to the depths, there are mystical beasts that will destroy you with ease." He sounds confident but there are hints of fear in his voice, like he's afraid of what's down here.
"And why are you warning me of it? Aren't we enemies?" I say mockingly at him
"I'm saying that you are about to die as we aren't going to let you leave the depths at all." He sounds confident as he says it, as a way to hide his fear.
I then see something come towards me from the depths with my imagination and it is massive! It is probably about more than double the size of the elder martigar from before. I look down and all I see is a bright blue marking of a smiling set of teeth is coming from below and I am terrified as something like that can kill me with ease. The lord namien definitely wasn't lying that there are mythical beasts here.
It gets closer and closer. I I'm starting to understand the situation as I'm in grave danger from both sides. Elder are your there?! I don't know what to do.
(Yes and you don't have to worry about what's coming. It is as you know it as.....reinforcements)
I feel relieved but now wonder what would come to help something like me.
(Remember when I said that you had relatives deep in the ocean? A megalodon can feel when it's family is in danger and will come to assist it no matter what. As the humans say, "family is family")
I wait a little longer until it swiftly moves by me and that's when I finally see it. A massive megalodon that is a blackish blue coloration on its hide and the bright blue set of smiling teeth is a small marking on the front of it. The massive megalodon heads up to the martigars and all I see is mayhem.
The namiens and martigars barely see it coming before the massive megalodon crushes through their ranks with a weird agility and accuracy that wouldn't be said about a shark of that caliber. All of a sudden a vortex happens around the sharks mouth. Everything is pulled in but me as I use my special water and my powerful flipper to stay away from it.
After everything gets pulled in but me, the megalodon closes their mouth, swallows, looks at me, then says in a strong feminine voice "come" before moving down into the depths. For some reason I understood what she said even though she didn't say it to me via telepathy. I am shocked for a moment until the elder says in my mind (go before she leaves you behind)
I quickly follow the megalodon. When it gets too dark for my eyes to see her, I use my imagination and follow the giant mass of mana that's in front of me. She is definitely going slow since if she were to go even moderate speed, I wouldn't be able to stay with her for long.
We keep going and I try to speak to her but I don't seem to know what to say as that's the first time I heard something like that even though it seems like I've known it for as long as I was born. It is weird so I have to ask elder. Hey elder, what language did she speak when she told me to "come".
(She spoke the ancient language of Gillish. It is one only megalodons can speak since it uses your gills to push out tones in a way a human uses vocal cords to push out air with their esophagus. A megalodon in technicality would be speaking with their gills and not their mouth, which is why her gills were moving and not her mouth when she spoke.)
So what I'm hearing is that I can understand but have no clue as to how to speak the language of my species.
(You didn't get the opportunity to grow with your species as you basically took over the body of a young megalodon who already didn't speak much due to their older sibling, whom is right in front of you.)
Wait that's my older sister?! I thought that was a full grown adult!
(You have a great surprise for when you make your way home. By the way, your imagination sense is gonna be your way of seeing as your eyes haven't developed into the kind that they use. Keep in mind, you are still very young. if they saw the feats you have done at this age up there, they would call you a protege for sure as most at your age would only run away and wouldn't have developed the proficiencies you have. So you and your family will have a surprise when you get home.)
Welp that's interesting, guess it's time to meet the family.
