"Neon!"
Ares face was clouded with shock as he stared at the sea where Neon had rushed in. Neon was nowhere to be seen again because he had literally drowned into the mystical sea!
"What on earth was that?" Iris too was shocked at what had just happened
Ares gasped staring at the sea "What on earth are you doing...?"
He too wanted to jump into the sea. As a matter of fact he had already made up his mind over it! He had even taken a step forward towards the sea when it suddenly moved.
Both Ares and Iris were shocked to see the water of the sea suddenly moving as If a wave was pushing it around.
Slowly, The wave of the mystical sea had grown wider and bigger. it had also began producing weird sounds that seemed to be from a monster.
"What's that now...?" Iris asked as both of them drew back.
"If you want to live. Go and hide now. Don't even get seen or heard. Understood?" Ares had given her a strict warning as Iris quickly turned and ran off without hesitation.
She had found herself a good place to hide behind a huge pink leafed tree. As she hid behind the tree, she couldn't help but peep out through the tree to see what was happening.
Ares was still standing there while he stared at the waving sea water and listening to the odd sounds it made.
"Neon?! are you in there?!" He yelled out loud.
And just then a blue octopus tentacles bursted out of the sea. It was only one hand and that hand had Neon tightly gripped.
Ares gasped as he watched Neon struggling to escape in the octopus grip.
"Hey! You big sea monster! Let go of him now!" Ares snapped angrily at it. The beast roared even wilder and louder .
"Let go of it!" Ares snapped again as he stared at Neon chocking while struggling to escape.
Ares was instantly panicked up as he stared at the scene. He wanted to help but didn't know how he was going to do it. At the moment, he felt extremely useless!
"Help..Help me! I can't keep it longer!" Neon expressed While it struggled to escape. And that had Simply left Ares with no alternative.
"Don't worry! I'm coming for you! Good or not here I come!"
Ares didn't think he understood his next action. He was completely taken over by panic that thinking straight wasn't an alternative now!
He had tapped a feet on the floor as he took to the air, flying towards the octopus' tentacles.
His eyes had gone red.
"I said let go!" Ares stretched out his hands towards the octopus hand..His long fingers had appeared as he used it to cut off the octopus hand.
With a wild and painful roar coming from the sea which began to vibrate wildly, Ares watched as it's tentacles divide into two and it was as a result of his finger's cut.
Blue blood had gushed off as the octopus tentacles let go of Neon.
Ares had twirled in the air, he grabbed Neon and disappeared.
He had appeared on the land before the sea where he left Neon on the ground.
"Are you okey?" He stared worriedly at Neon.
"I think I'll be okey..He only choked me, and nothing much" Neon expressed.
"Are you insane! How can you even think of doing something so dangerous?!" Ares nagged.
"Don't Nag me. At least my aim worked out well, Look at yourself. Your eyes are now red and you can use your powers again as well!" Neon announced.
Ares hesitated as he looked at himself" I think you're right then..." he nodded" But still no need to even try something as dangerous as what you did. What If it didn't work, then what? What's gonna happen to the two of us?" He questioned.
"Don't he negative, At least it worked and that's what matters "
"But..."
Before Ares could make a statement, They heard an explosive sound coming from the sea.
A good amount of water had splashed off from the sea and had even fallen on both Ares and Neon.
They had quickly turned to see what it was all about. Only to see a huge octopus with seven tentacles, floating on the sea.
The beast had one purple eyes and no other face features..It merely had some purples mystical drawings through his body and then it's Seven tentacles which represented the seven spirits located in that water body.
Ares stood there with his red eyes as he stared at the beast "Since we're already here, I guess there's no going back. I'll have to fight it down to it's end" He said firmly as the fox nodded.
"That's the spirit!" Neon cheered on.
