Atlantis in Trouble

[dragon writer]

First off, you should know the history. You see, atlantis kept a float by an...unusual powersource. It utilized SHakora's ring. Until shakora got free in a lab accident. Everyone thought shakora devoured the city...they still do...they're wrong. ONe brabe man THREW shakora's ring into the void, and shakora went with it, the ring was drawn out and remaid a hundred times, until it became the video game, it's last form. And atlantis, bereft of i'ts power source, vanished. The same man used what was left of stored power to create a shield around the island, but the natives were doomed...or rather would have been. Merpeople intervenened, making them merpeople, that can have legs OR tails teaching them about the lands, showing them new power sources...and right now atlantis is in trouble. the kings gone...an imposter is in place...and the place is falling to pieces. Plus, somethings draining the powersource...


Angela swam down the sea, when she saw a flash of white. She turned, nothing. again the flash, stinging pain...blood...gapping teeth....Shark! she swam, down the channel, the shark following, squeezing though somehow...She had no where to run, the sharked launched at her.,..and tickled her?
"Katrina! stop!"
"spoil sport," said katrina, going back to normal form. "IT's not nice to leave the rest of the group behind..."
"Can i help it if you guys are bad swimmers?"
"Ha, ha ha. Come on, we got an sea to explore!"
"what about the others, katrina?"
"can i help it if the others are slow swimmers?"
they turned...and stared.
"OMG...." said angela
"It can't be..."
"It is..."
"it's-"
"ATLANTIS!" cried kevin. "ok, who's in charge of the road map?"
-WATER? The Sea? "Lydaiiiiiiii", Jacquelyn called, "I think i have found our way out!" Lydai flew over to see what Jacq'e was ranting on about "What, oh my,", she stopped mid way in her sentence. "I havent seen a more beautiful sight in the 4 months we have been wondering around looking for your fsther, Jacq'e" Lydai said.

"What do World do you think is out there if we swim?"

"Well," Lydai said, "Im not sure, but it sounds better than any of those other options we have been working our way around. Worst it could be is that an evil sea serpent comes and trys to kill, but we could alwayd fly some when that happens"

"Ohhh, well that makes the odds of surviving the trip even more."

"I was sayyyying.-pfft, smoke flows out-"

"LYDAI! no puffs. What if there was someone around who saw that, and someone who isnt kind, or friendly, or human or dragon for that reason!?"

~grumble~(Lydai).

"Lets look around the shore line first and see if we find anything interesting. There might be a kiosk or something!"

"Thats hopeful thinking" mumbled Lydai.
That's when something grabbed aurora's ankle, yanking her down...
"I got One!" cried ethan. I got a fish! and YOU thought fishing was WORTHLESS undeer water..."
"ethan...that's NOT a fish../."
"yes it is! it's...a...a...HUMANgous fish
"LET ME GO!" wailed Jaquelyn. "Lydai-down into the water, up- Lydai hel-down, up- Help me! Someth-down up-Something has got me!-down-

Lydai looked over to see the splashing and screaming. "JACQ'E!, Let go of her you idiotic beasts!! Else I will be over there devouring you!"
Lydai took flight headed over to thew splashing, and drove straight down hoping to hit on the evil's away from her beloved Jackie.

Pffffft! smoked out Lydai.
"Thinks he can breat underwater and fish underwater. Get that, Lydai, lmao!" Said Jaq'e a bit breathlessy from laughing.
"Also, its okay but next time if that happens again, i know it wont "she said staring Ethan in the eye,"i will hurt you. But im letting you off for now.I can be unlady like, and its easy for me."

As all of them headed back into shore, they realized that had meet before.
"Angela? No, you couldnt be Angela, last time i saw you we were fighting in a War"
"Which one?"Angela questioned.
"Me and Lydai had been in soo many over a course of 8 months. I remember ((whats Mousey's characters name?!!?)) being there. With her Dragon, Kyra.(is that right??)"
"Oh, yeah, i think i remember that one. But during half of it, you and Lydai went down. Into the shurbs and we couldnt find you."Angela said.
"Whats wrong, Ethan, did i threaten you too much to where you cant speak? or Dragon gottcha tongue?" taunted Jacq.

"No No, I can speak, i just like you much. Youstand over your pride and have much to much power for a Human with on 3/8ths of her blood Elven." Said Ethan a bit disgusted. "But i suppose we can be accquintances."
"Okay Mr.Touchy. Not my fault i have Elven blood in me. Get used to it, i might be saving your sorry ass one day." laughed Jacq'e a bit rudely.

Lydai pushed her foward with her nuzzle (for ebing rude) and made Jacq'e fall right into Ethans arms. oh great, know im having a moment with him. thought Jacq'e.

"Awwww" Angela teased. "Lookit, she likes him. And Ethan seems to like holding a girl, too.!! LovelyBrids."

Oh dandy, i mean it isnt that bad, she is warm, and easy to hold, but a couple inches taller than me..its not that bad. But i wouldnt let anyone know that! thought Ethan a bit pleasurely. His eyes kinda drouped down and almost closed before he realized Jacq'e wasnt in his arms anymore.

"Ethan, why wouldnt you let me go. Do you like me something?! Im a traveling lady, i cannot court guys. Well, i mean." she stumbled on the words, "i can, but its difficult."
"HOw would you know, you probably havent even had a guy to court until now." as soon as Ethan realized what words came out of his mouth he turned a deep red.
"I mean, theres Kevin, and you know some others."... Oh crap. Im so dead. And my face is so hott.! winned Ethan in his mind.
"Ethan get over yourself!" Laughed Angela.
"Yeah, really." said Jacq'e a bit less rudely, but still loud enough for him to hear. Ethan looked at her, wondering. She kept the gaze for a split second then turned to Lydai.
"Where to Lydai? See any OTHER ways out than the ever so blue Sea?"
Lydai said something, but Jacq'e was soo busy thinking about Ethan. Rwar, she said in her mind. This is not happening. I dont like Ethan. I only think it. He probably put a little spell on me. Thats it.


"Yeah, that sounds good Lydai." Said Angela."Lets go."
"Uh, yeah okay..." mumbled Jacquelyn a bit confused.

(careful with ethan. mousey's claimed him for dairine, so you might find yourself in a fight over him...)
Suddenly jackie went flying to the side, pinned to the beach...the others were faring no better.
pulling on every bit of power she had, jackie lifted her head...angela was standing before them, her eyes totally black, a golden glow surrounding her...she didn't look happy...a dark missed surrounded her, jacki's elven ears picked up a whisper, but she couldn't figure out what it was....Pulling more power then jackie had thought she had, she stood, fighting against the flow, stepping closer and closer, and closer to angela, fighting off angela's power...she raised her hand to strike angela...without even bothering to move, angela lifted a hand, and sent jackie flying...it didn't seem possible, but at that moment, jackie realized that angela hadn't even been focussing her full power on her or the others...the air seemed to still, but the waters were moving, swirlling, seperatoing...the water opened up, and angela walkied into the sea...the sands seeemed to lift, swollowing them whole...angelawas going to atlantis...and unless something changed, so were they...
“what was the deal with THAT?” muttered Jackie, fighting against the sand. “and what was with that GLOW? And the cloud…”
”what cloud?” asked ethan. “There wasn’t any cloud….”
”Yes there was…”
”NO, there wasn’t…”
”No elven eyes,:” explained Kevin.
“so that would mean…a higher being?”
”OMNI! WRITER! GET THE HELL DOWN HERE AND TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO MY DAUGHTER!”
should we go down there?
you kidding me? If we go to real time….he’d KICK OUR BUTTS.
Uh….HIGHER BEINGS.
So? He no angela, but I sure as heck am NOT going to let him get a shot in…particularly when he’s in power mode from anger…I mean, sure, he can’t HURT us…but I don’t particularly LIKE lightning…
So what? We wait here and let them figure it out? That’so boring…
Deal with-OW!
ACK!
THAT HURTS!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
As quick as that, they appeared in real time. On top of them was a slender, beautiful girl, with golden blond hair, and sky blue eyes…She looked a lot like angela…
“jakie…meet my second daughter. Jean.”
”nice to meet you….mind telling me what just happened to my sister?”
“mind getting this sand off me?” countered jakie.
A wave flew up and blasted the sand away…
(she’s part jeanie, part ghost, part human, part mermaid, part dragon, possibly part elf, part angel, part white power, from what she just did, she may have a smatter of higher being in her…and who the heck knows what else? I gave birth to her, in girl form, and my dna is in there…but the spell that got me pregnant with her coppied every bit of dna it came into contact with it seems…we don’t really knbow what she’s capable of…and neither does she. Eats her up. She’s not as powerful as angela, but being part jeanie she can manipulate her dna enough to meld with angela and combine powers if they’re near…which also means anglela’s crazieness can rub off on her…sometimes me too….which is not good…And we don’t really know what she’s capable of…)

Omni grumbled, as being on the bottom of a pile was rather uncomfortable. "Get the hell OFF me Jean, or I'll kick you from here to Pluto. And back." When Jean didn't move, Omni rolled her eyes and sat up, grinning as Jean and Writer tumbled off her. "Okay, you wanted to know what happened to Angela? She's..." She stopped for a moment.
Wrrrriiiitttteeerrrrr, should we tell them? I don't want to be charcoal...
You're mixing this up with when we had to tell Galine what happened to Andrew after she came to you-know-when. I STILL have the burns from that episode.
Oh, be quiet. Should we? It's almost as bad...
Nah. Tell 'em.
"She's possessed, I think. And I don't know by who. But it's not Shakora. It's someone new. And by the way... Beware of pink snakes and brown manes, do what the mask tells you, and fear the trench!"
Grinning, Omni dissappeared, waving before she dissappeared completely.
"Okaaaayyyy... What was that about?" Kevin wondered.
(Mwahahahaha. Pink snakes and brown manes... *meeheehee* Do what the mask tells you... *cackle* You can cliff it eventually to have a mask and I'll have it talk. Fear the trench.. Heeheehee. You can tell which book I read recently. No, I'm NOT going explain the trench.)
jean whistled innocently and hid the half a mask she had found in the sand in her shirt...how the heck she did it in her bathing suit i'll never know...probably jeanie magic...anyways, there was no way she was going to let a clue to her sisters disappearence out of her sight...even showing it to her dad would run the risk of someone else finding out about it...
"So...what the heck should we do?" asked jackie...
"we save my daughter," said kevin...
"but...aren't there TRENCHES down there..."
Kevin just glared....There was no doubt in anyones mind that they were going...kevin drew his sword, and it glowed, and changed into the dragon staff...He spoke into it...."saphire...Get over here please...and bring katrina and her familiar too, while you're at it.."
in a few minutes, the water swirled and out popped saphire and katrina...katrina turned into water and bonded with kevin, figuring out what happened...He changed to katrina...
"Come on..."
and then back to kevin.. "YOu coming?"
katrina..."we got to hurry...they'll come or they won't..."
kevin...."we really SHOULD pick a form..."
katrina..."You're bod..."
kevin..."yeah but yours is more suited for the water shift...more used to it...
katrina..."my form it is then."
and still in katrina form, kevin said..."YOu think they'll form the courage to join us?"
"those guys?" asked katrina...

I looked over the group, then locked on to several of the people. "MEG! LINE! LINA! ARA! NAE! ANDY! DARI! GET YOUR COLLECTIVE ASS OUT OF THERE SO I CAN MAKE THIS CURRENT! And Meg, DROP THAT NOW!"

Quickly, the people I had named vanished, and a dull gray something that 'Meg' had picked up dropped to the sand, somehow unnoticed by the rest. Ethan looked blank, and I smirked at how damned easy it was to adjust his mind towards Helen and make him completely forget about Dairine. Then, the new people appeared, looking around and blinking. I mentally ticked them off as they materialized. Helen Ashfield-Retu. New girlfriend of Ethan. Rebecca Aquasa-Ratar. Girlfriend of Walter, and first to live for more than a month. Then I paused as Walter also appeared, then smirked.Walter Ratar, maybe Ratar-Aquasa. He's technically Writer's territory, but I have a very large part in his life here. Diana Aquasa-Ashfield and Alex Aquasa-Star. Siblings and unpredictable menaces to my sanity. Also very fun to write. Alex is Angela's new boyfriend. Leo Ashfield-Aquasa. Boyfriend of Diana. Unpredictable Menace. Twin brother of Max. Max Ashfield-Gray. Boyfriend of Morgana. Unpredictable Menace. Morgana Gray-Ashfield. Girlfriend of Max. Crazy and V. Cool. Unpredictable Menace. Draco and Lilian Ashfield-Aquasa-Relani. Twins. Cool. Unpredictable Menaces. Rowan and Richard Relani-Ashfield-Aquasa. Siblings. Rowan specializes in Healing and nature magic, and is Draco's girlfriend. Richard is an 'animal specialist', and tends to spend lots of time in the water or n the forest chatting with animals, and can shape-shift into an animal if he concentrates on it. Both are, 'course, Unpredictable Menaces. Then I smirked as Lilian picked up the mask piece and hid it away in her waterproof purse. "Okay, you guys." I said then to the small group arrayed in front of my desk, shifting uncomfortably. "Get going. You are now officially 'Extras', and that means, let me see... Oh yes." I looked at Dairine. "Here." I her gave a small rock. "That will take you to when Ethan was still courting every damned girl in the village. Have fun, but stay far away from Helen."

She smiled and disappeared. I turned to Galine and Andrew. "You're now two anonymous Protectors for now, but if you ever become active, you're now Alice and George Renay."

They disappeared, too. Next came Alexander and Ameara. "You two, on the other hand, could help me." I gave them both small PDAs. "Those have all the information about this story, ever. Have fun." And I created two desks next to each other in the large room we were in, and smiled as they practically danced off to them. Just wait until they find out I gave them the job of paperwork sorters...

Meghan and Alina were next. "Okay, you two have a very, very special job. Go back down there and report to me exactly what is up with Atlantis and how to fix it. I need to have a solution worked out so I can make a prophesy and send everyone scrambling around so i can laugh my ass off here." I gave them each a PDA and small sphere. "The sphere is a cloaking device so you aren't noticed by the others."

They grinned and disappeared. Amenae cleared her throat, and I looked up. She blinked hard, and I saw a few unshed tears. I sighed. "Who is it?"

"The-the guy who magicks drawings. He's damned CUTE! And now-now I'm up here and I'm not going to go back, am I?" Her voice quavered. "And I'm what, the oldest? I should have gotten the mission!"

"But I have a better thing for you. You ARE going back. But..." I grinned. "You're going back as Sarnara Holly Scott. And guess who'll find you and fall in love with you at first sight when they're looking for you in the tunnels? Oarak. Writer was bugging me about getting someone for him, but it would seem that she's been right under my nose. Now go right in there, please, and I'll get to you in a moment." I pointed to a door called 'Character (Re)Creation', and she went in.

Finally, I leaned back and watched the story unfold.

Jean figured there was something wrong, right about then. she figured it mostly because of the water that was coming to engulf her, but partly becuase of the slight tingly sensation that showed magic was coming.
Not that it really mattered how she knew, what with WATER swollowing them all up.
But she was seperated from the rest...And, as the first merman appeared, knife in hand, it semed all too apparent why.

(We still need a boyfriend for Jean...)


Omni groaned, stumbling into her office. "I don't think I will ever recover from that singing I got..."

Writer carefully kept an innocent look on his face. "I have no idea why that idea had ever occurred to Kevin... Although it was hilarious to have you burned at the stake."

"Bull. You gave him that idea, didn't you?"

"Maaaybe. Now, got any idea on how the heck to do this?"

"Doubles. Lots and lots of doubles." Omni grinned as Writer boggled.

"Nuh-uh. That'll KILL the FoSaT!"

"No it won't. Having us hanging around in the sky doesn't kill the dimension, why should copies of the twits a couple decades into the future even strain it?"

"Angela's double."

"We still need the power."

"And you're having too much fun messing with people to do it yourself?"

"I dunno what the heck we're supposed to do in the first place!"

"Point taken. This one's been hanging around so long I think DRAGON might have forgotten what the heck he's trying to do!"

"I find that unlikely. He writes down the goal at the beginning of each adventure and sticks it up next to the secret door to it. No, Mousey is the one who you should be blaming if there's no note on the goal."

Suddenly a note appeard. "This was hung on the door, but apparently everyone missed it! Even i'd been forgetting hwat it sid, it hung htere so long, clogged up with dust....
First off, you should know the history. You see, atlantis kept a float by an...unusual powersource. It utilized SHakora's ring. Until shakora got free in a lab accident. Everyone thought shakora devoured the city...they still do...they're wrong. ONe brabe man THREW shakora's ring into the void, and shakora went with it, the ring was drawn out and remaid a hundred times, until it became the video game, it's last form.

Plus, somethings draining the powersource...
Now go to it!"

Also, at the end fo his, ANgela will find tha mermaid men are jerks.


The atlantians came cloesr, suddenly cutting them free of the seaweed...only, they didn't seem all that readdy to let them go.

"ANd do to atlantis i go."

"Eh? English, please, before I flambe you?" Helen was EXTREMELY grumpy.

"thjy'r etaking us to atlantis!" c9ied ANgela, morphing he lengs to tails, and kicikng he guards away. "ANd i say I steop them." HEr eyes glinted green, before mor emen came xsarming at he.

"Eh... Mermaid powder?"

"Whoops. Here!" Angela quickly sprinkled some powder on everyone.

"Gahk..." Was the boys' general feelings on merMAID powder.

"Come on, jeez..." Helen took out her dagger and began poking with it.

I have a chest!" complained leo.
"Get over it! i don't know any mermen, okay? you want to go and risk your life for a scale, then feel free!" He-she-through a water ball.
The mermaids continued to swarm the now girl group, determined to drag them under.

((the king will no doubt make a big scene about how it's all a mistake, but remember-FALSE king. no doubt planted by Plitora. Seems innocent, really evil.)

"GYAAAH!" Helen lunged for the nearest merman, abandoning her knife in favor of teeth.

"OW!"

hey fought fo r a fwe minutes, finally sucumbing, as blacknesss overtookt ehm//

whent ehy woke up, tehre was aman in front of them.
"Welcome to Atlantis!"

"Who the heck are you?" Lilian asked blearily.

"The King of Atlantis!"

"Nnngh. King you may be, but I have a headache and I'm really not in the mood for pompous prats."

"Lils! Shut-up!" Draco smacked Lilian upside the head. "I am sorry, your Majesty, for any trouble my sister may cause. She is not very kind to strangers, especially when she is tired."

"Apology accepted."

"Who the heck are you?" Lilian asked blearily.

"The King of Atlantis!"

"Nnngh. King you may be, but I have a headache and I'm really not in the mood for pompous prats."

"Lils! Shut-up!" Draco smacked Lilian upside the head. "I am sorry, your Majesty, for any trouble my sister may cause."

"It is no problem, fair maiden."
"WHAT DID YOU-"
Linlina punched him. "What my sister means to say is, she's thankful fo rhte cmpliemnt.\
"I was going to-"
Linina glared.
"Say exaclty that."

"Thank you. Anyway, lemme see what's so awesome about Atlantis that there are a bazillion legends about it."

There's a small proble, my dears...You did arive in our waters, announched. While all merpeople are, of course, welcome, it is polite to say something. You will have to stay for questioning...perhaps a little soul seraching to find your intent. Nothing major, i assure you, my dears."

((think fast. The atlantians were human once, but when their city sunk, the mermaid saved them, and they eventually changed. SOme say the mermaid saved them, some say that they were the first mermaids. It's unknown.))

"Oh, SURE." Lilian's left eyebrow arched ever so slightly. "And why, exactly? BESIDES the fact that one of the twits there forgot the map?"

"Why, even the great toe heret was forced to go through all this when he wanderd he by mistake...i still remember his first words to me."
"really? Toe ehret?"
"Of course. Now, about the questioning/> it's ont far from here."

"I don't suppose we could, say, refuse and get the heck out of here?"

"'Fraid not."

"Darn, that's me out of options. Fine, lead the way. But shackles and I'm OUT of here."

"Never, my lady."
"Good...So, is your sister single-"
"Lilian."
"WEll, lilian? Is she?"

Rowen began muttering quietly. Angela tried to hide a grin. Lilian pretended to look confused. "Sister? I have no sister, merely a brother."

"I was under the impression you had a sister." The king pointed out Draco.

Angela coughed. Rowen started looking mad. Lilian's eyebrows met her bangs. "Ahem. THAT is my brother, temporarily turned into a mermaid because one of my friends really likes annoying all the boys she comes across."

"rediculous. IF he was your brother, i would never do this." He pulled the female draco in for a hefty kiss. C"Compleltey female."

Rowena whipped, furious, and her small hand curled into a fist that flashed forward.

"Oooh, THAT'S got to hurt." Lilian commented cheerfully.

"Angela, do mermen have easily accessible places to hurt them REALLY REALLY badly?" Rowen's voice was poisonously sweet.

"No that I know of..."

"Darn." Rowen rubbed her knuckles, looking dispassionately at the Atlantean king. "Twit... That was my boyfriend, you little sicko. BAD boy. Very bad."

"Then i betercomplete hte apir," the man seemed to laugh. kissinge her wuiclkly. " do so love kssing teh female lovers...really, you must fogive me. I'm justnot used to this whole meeting girls things...ANd i'm much to shy to ask you my dear," hea asked, looking Angeal.
His eyes seemed to glaze over as he watched her. SHe hads the affect on mostmen.

Rowen slapped him. "YOU are an a-tard. And thicker than my brother on a bad day."

Richard made a face at her, then hid again.

"Can i help it if i am easily captivated by beauty?"
"YES!"
"ANd you my dear? are you untakne/"
"Sehe's taken." muttered ALex.
"Shame...Myabe later hten."
"Thanks," whispered ANgela.
"No problem."

(the first hints at a relationship?? Fake for how long?)

((Hmm? is this after or before Normality?))

Rowena was muttering profanities under her breath, then began laughing abruptly. "Wait, say that again, Omni... He'll WHAT! Oh, that's just too funny... You're kidding? Oh."

She began to grin widely.

A moment later, the king's skin and scales were pink and purple polka-dotted.

[dragon writer]

"Grrr..." Rowena muttered something again, then glared up. "What do you mean you can't... oh, he's asleep... can you delay that? right, thanks."

"TRUTH SPELLS???" Lilian boggled. "You're joking, right? I hate those things!"

"Soul searches just aren't enough you know...As i said, if i had some...some REASON to believe who you say you were..." hey eyed the girls meaningfully at that point, "I might let you go, but short of that..."

(They might have to say the truth, or you can just have them hypnotize him. A temporary solution, that will most likely fall apart and bring back his memory that they didn't do what they were supposed to, but it could be interesting,. Your choice. )

"Soul searches just aren't enough you know...As i said, if i had some...some REASON to believe who you say you were..." hey eyed the girls meaningfully at that point, "I might let you go, but short of that..."

(They might have to say the truth, or you can just have them hypnotize him. A temporary solution, that will most likely fall apart and bring back his memory that they didn't do what they were supposed to, but it could be interesting,. Your choice. )

Unfortunately, his lips didn't quite care what his stomach wanted.
"So, what will it be?"

Omni, get your ARSE down here and wring this guy's neck for me!

[U][I][B]What's in it for me?
I'll stop whinging, that's what.

sorry said Writer. You'll have to find a way to deal with him yourself. This is just much too good a show...

I haaaate you.

Yep. Now shoee and figure things out. Just tell him the truth, or sacrafice one of you..your choice. Mousey's passed the nine hundred ark, and i need to help her get further.

Hmpf. I'll get you later...

Hmpf. I'll get you later...

Hmpf. I'll get you later...

No you won't. You love us too much.

Yeah, you wish.

*grin*

...Wait. Wait wait wait. Writer, did you just use netspeak in your THOUGHTS?? Omni, get him...

I wasn't netspeaking! i was broadcasting an image! yep, that's it...I mean...uh...I can't be blamed if your reciever happens to be having a bad day, and translated it wrong, right?

Yeah, right.

GAHK!

*writer threw Omni in a box and ran*

Now THAT, you can't deny. I'm going higher...
Who, me? Righty-o...
...Is that a feather?
Ah, the joys of being able to talk to those crazy people...

*phantsasma through a plasma beam at them* "Knock it off and help us deal with this bozo! What are we supposed ot be DOING here?"
"Just conjure up some photo's and blackmail the guy...You know what, here!"

Phantasma snickered quietly. "Hey, King Guy, you really don't want to use truth spells on us; here's why."

"Wha- AHK!"

"Now, how about you give us the run of the place, or we show these pictures of you with that-no, two-what the-I'd slap you, but i think i've gone numb."
"A man should be allowed to eat chocolate!"
"Not like that!"
"But-"
"Stuffing five bars at a time down your throat does not a king make! You look REDICULOUS."

"Anyway, you REALLY don't want to use truth spells on us. If you try, we'll show these to everyone."

"Fine. you win."

"Right-- HEY!"

Everyone went silent.

Then Phantasma started laughing. "...We need a camera! We SO need a camera!"

A waterproof camera appeared in front of her; she snapped a picture.

"Get off Kevin, you testosterone-poisoned MALE!"

"OW!"

"I. Need. Brain bleach." Kevin noticed the camera. "GIVE!"

"Never!"

"maele?"
"You din't hear anything."
"WHTkeivn? don't yo uwna to be turned on by your own phtoos's once yu get back?"
"Phatnasma!"
KEvin tried to snatch it, burshng close to Pntasma in the process, tehir lips meeting for just an instnat...AN then they wer eaprt, th ecmarera in his hands.

((WTF SNERK XD what is with all the kissing?))

"Now how to get the pictures off..."

"Oh, yeah, I forgot to include a delete button on it. Sorry!" Omni didn't sound sorry at all.

"ARGH!"

((I'm building up possibilities!)
he stomped on the camera.

It promptly reformed in Omni's hand; she grinned and danced out of Kevin's reach.

The king snatched it.
"Return blackmail."

"Actually, he's quite used to it."

"Yeah...After the first dozen times it just like another body..." he snatched it quickly. "Of course, that doesn't mean the kingdom can ever find out-destroy it please, Omni? ANywyas, thankfully, it doesn't happen NEARLY so often anymore...gets WEIRD."

"I'm not gonna a destroy THESE... I need something to laugh at. Don't worry, no one's gonna use them for blackmail..." Omni grinned and took the camera, making it disappear. "Anyway, King-Guy, let my friends in and stop bothering them."

"...fine. But revenge will be mine for this!"

"I'm sure it will be, King-Guy." Omni smiled sweetly and, only to people who knew her well, evilly.

"Starting when i put your home underwater! A water that will drown all electronics! For some reason, i felt the need to say that..."

"Sure. Have fun trying." NOT!

"A water that could even cause a demigods computer to fry! and who the heck is feeding me these lines!"

"A prat I know. Draggie, cut it out, you're making me laugh and that annoys me. King-Guy, let us in already."

He glared, but waved the door open.
"There will be water!"

"Sure, sure, whatever you say..."

"There's water everywhere anyways," muttered Katrina. "It's actually kinda refreshing..."

[Mousey]

"You would say that..." Helen scowled in no particular direction. "How'd I get suckered into going underwater, again?"

[dragon writer]

"I told you i'd rust Ethan if you didn't."
"Oh yeah..."
"Yeah. We're silly that way."
"Rusted boyfriends are NOT silly."
"Yeah! the water takes forever to get out of my ears, too!"
"Eth, honey...Not your ears i'm worried about."
"She wouldn't-"
"Things break SO easily when they're rusted."

[Mousey]

Mousey glowered at Dragon. "Explain that conversation so I can get the images out of my head!"

[dragon writer]

"Katrina is explaining that she'd use Ethan's ability to turn any part of his body to metal against him-rusting him. This includes that one part f a boy every girl wants her boyfriend to have."

[Mousey]

"...Shoot. Sometimes I hate being right." Mousey grabbed the brain bleach.

[dragon writer]

"Ethan's STILL not ENTIRELY certain what they're talking about. So innocent."

[Mousey]

"But I know what they're talking about!" Mousey brandished a brain bleach bottle at Dragon, then paused and looked at it. "Can you get drunk on this stuff?"

[dragon writer]

"No, but you can have a temporary loss of short term memory."
"Which does what for me?"
"You can explode things now and deny it later."
"OOH! Me likey!"

[Mousey]

Mousey looked at the bottles around her, then looked up. "Hi Dragon!" She grinned, then pointed at a bottle. It exploded, and she giggled and ran off, singing loudly and off-key.

Meanwhile, back underwater...

"FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!" A singing Mousey fell through the water and noticed the group below her. "Oh, hi!"

Giggling inanely, she pointed at a large boulder; it exploded. "Oh, dear, how did that ha- Hi hi!"

Kevin looked up and groaned. "Great. A goddess on brain bleach."

[dragon writer]

"Who's on-Hi!"
Ethan looked up. "Hello."
"Do you explo-hi!"

[Mousey]

"erm."

"Hiiiiii Eth! Hi U- Hi!"

And the universe is saved from exploding by Omni being on brain bleach.

"MOUSEY! I heard- hi!"

[dragon writer]

"hi!"
"Hi!"
"Who has the antidote?"
"I do," said kevin. "BUt i'm not handing it over until you let us into atlantis."
