Chapter 9 - Glub Glub?

"Hey Alice, why does that fish have leg? Also, why does it have arms and why is it carrying a spear?" I asked Alice.

"Good questions, too bad I don't have an answer for any of them. All I know is that we need to kill it." Answered Alice.

I watched as the fish walked around the lake, the fish seemed to be waiting for something. All of a sudden a fish jumped out of the water and in the blink of an eye the walking fish threw its spear at it hitting it directly.

"You guys want to share this fish with me? I'm pretty good when it comes to cooking these things." Said the giant fish.

I looked at the fish for a moment. 'Great, another talking animal.' I thought. I let out a sigh and shook my head.

"Sorry dude, we're actually here to kill you. Apparently you've been scaring the locals away and they haven't been getting as much food." I looked at the giant fish and noticed that he had a blank expression.

"I think I know what you're talking about, that fish isn't me. In fact, I'm hunting down the fish right now but the dude won't pop up so I've just been practicing my aim." The fish said.

The fish went to retrieve its spear but stopped and watched as the water began to shake violently. I watched as the water shook and after a while noticed a shadow underneath the water.

The water bursted upwards and out came a fish which was bigger than anything than anything I could have ever imagined.

"They want us to kill that thing?! That things so big that the most we can do is scratch it!" Yelled Steven.

"Actually that's not true, all though they are really big they can't take a hit. Here, I'll show you. Emma, use your magic on the fish." Said Alice.

Emma nodded and reached her hands out, and just like last time a giant fireball shot out of them.

The giant fish started to shake aggressively until finally crashing onto the ground, causing everything around us to shake.

"That can't be it, can it? You'd expect something like that to be incredibly strong so why did it go down in one hit?" I asked.

"I mean, they weren't offering that much velp for this thing so it makes sense that it wouldn't be that strong." Answered Alice.

I lifted my finger to say something but stopped myself, she wasn't wrong. I let out a sigh and walked up to the fish corpse and used my sword to cut off one of its scales.

"Hey Fish Man, what's your name? I'd rather not call you Fish Man and actually call you by a real name." Asked Fang.

"I don't have one, but the locals call me Bubbles. So you can call me that if you want." Answered Bubbles.

"Ok everyone, let's head back. Oh and Bubbles, feel free to tag along. We could always use an extra hand." I said with a grin.

Bubbles looked around for a bit until shrugging his shoulders. He then ran up to us and walked with us back to the town.
