>What do you mean get PAST Sunny?
>Blinking Dash right into her!

[E-Nazrin]

>Actually, if we're close enough to get her without much trouble, just blast her with a charged shot. We're at 90%, right?

[Hello Purvis]

>No no. We're going to do this with style.
>Summon the whip.
>Blink behind Sunny.
>Whip her good.
>Presuming it connects, and we don't look like a fool for boasting. "Did I say you could call me "you"? I sure didn't! There's only one thing a lowlife like you gets to call me, and that's Queen!"

[Jana]

>Perhaps add, "Then your hide will be MINE" in there at some point.

>Perhaps add, "Then your hide will be MINE" in there at some point.

> You briefly fantasize about doing this, before realizing that it's kind of creepy, you can't really use the whip in these tunnels anyways, and ohgodSunny'stryingtoripoffyourface.

>Actually, if we're close enough to get her without much trouble, just blast her with a charged shot. We're at 90%, right?

> It's a matter of speed: will you get your whistle aimed in time, or will Sunny tear into you first? Time almost seems to be crawling through molasses as you raise your whistle and Sunny bares her claws and teeth. Her claws are less than an inch away from your face, and you trigger the attack even though you're not sure if it's lined up...!!!
> BOOM



> You blink slowly as the water settles down. There is a veil of bubbles in front of you, hiding the rest of the tunnel from your view. Your heart is pumping loudly, and you wonder if you managed to hit Sunny. Slowly, way too slowly, the maelstrom calms...



> ... In front of you, further down the tunnel, Sunny is floating limply. Her back is to you, her face hidden from view.

> 1533/2500
> Whistle Charge= 0%

>What do you mean get PAST Sunny?
>Blinking Dash right into her!

> That would've been kind of cool to do, if you hadn't had a freakin' bubblezooka ready to go. Maybe next time...

[Hello Purvis]

>"God, how boring."
>...
>Rob Sunny.

[E-Nazrin]

>And see whether she needs a Breath of Life.
>Where are the others?

[Sect]

>"God, how boring."
>...
>Rob Sunny.

> You say one final taunt. Honestly, they barely put up a fight: it's not like they scratched you up, bit you in the shoulder, chased you through the tunnels, wrestled with you, or tackled you into walls, making your heart jump multiple times or forced you to use up nearly half of your air.
> ... Okay, maybe it was tougher than you thought it would be.
> You swim up to Sunny, and check on her. Yep, she's out cold. You can't really find anything in her pockets, mostly because her outfit doesn't even have pockets. Looks like there might be something underneath that leather vest of hers, though...

>And see whether she needs a Breath of Life.
>Where are the others?

> She's breathing just fine: you'd only need to use a Breath of Life on someone who's drowning or drowned, and you didn't hit Sunny enough with your Bubble Whip to really worry about that, you think.
> As for the others, Cirno should be up this tunnel a little ways, and Luna is still in that seaweed trap you set up. Star should still be floating near the beach, you think.

> 1525/2500

[Hello Purvis]

>No, just the end was boring.
>Check under that vest while we haul her outside.

[Kips McKipzerson]

>I hope that thing under her vest isn-
>PHWEEE?! It's THIS?!

[Zengar Zombolt]

>Search specifically for their power sources!

[Sect]

>No, just the end was boring.
>Check under that vest while we haul her outside.

> You pull Sunny along with you as you swim for the exit, and undo the top part of her vest. You can already see the start of a bruise forming on what you can see of her chest: she's definitely going to be sore in the morning.
> More importantly, you find a pendant: it's a black stone, probably obsidian, with gold etchings on it. The etchings seem to make some sort of shape, but the lines run off the edge of the pendant. Judging by the etchings and the grooves on the pendant, you think it's part of a set.

>Search specifically for their power sources!

> You saw something glowing underneath Star's jacket when she started swimming faster: if she has a similar pendant, then it's likely that this is their artifact, just like the dolphin gem is yours.

> You are now at the entrance of the tunnels. Looking around, you can see Serras, Shujinko, and Harami in the middle of the cove, looking in your direction, though they don't seem to have spotted you yet.

[Hello Purvis]

>Bah, useless punks. Can't let us have a cool victory and can't explode into coins when they're beaten. No wonder some people argue for perpetual imprisonment...
>Drag Sunny along and head for the surface. Might as well report in.

[Sect]

>Bah, useless punks. Can't let us have a cool victory and can't explode into coins when they're beaten. No wonder some people argue for perpetual imprisonment...
>Drag Sunny along and head for the surface. Might as well report in.

> Oh no, Utsuho's RPGs lied to you. What ever shall you do.
> You drag Sunny along with you towards the royals and the jackass steward. Harami is the first to notice you, and her face smoothes to its usual impassiveness: she probably doesn't think you noticed her worried expression.
> As you approach, you can hear Serras griping. "I'm just saying that Star kid's useless compared to the other three! She's a wimp, she's soft! That Cirno 'n Sunny, those are the real threats! They'll tear that girl to-"
> Shujinko notices you and interrupts Serras blandly. "Ah, I see that the 'real threat' is back already. Where are the other two?" Serras whips around to gawk at you and Sunny's unconcious form. The sputtering and the wild gyrations of his hair are a real sight to see. Harami swims around you, looking at the injuries you've taken from the fight.

[Hello Purvis]

>"They're in the cove, knocked out."
>Keep Sunny a bit submerged. Don't need her to asphyxiate on us.

[Sect]

>"They're in the cove, knocked out."
>Keep Sunny a bit submerged. Don't need her to asphyxiate on us.

> They're all about ten feet underwater, so there's no worries of Sunny asphyxiating.
> "What?!" Serras roared. "Whaleshit! Those bitches told me they were the best around!"
> Shujinko smirks as he pushes up his glasses. "Well then, I suppose the failing isn't with them, but where they got their power, hm?" Serras turns an interesting shade of red, then purple, and proceeds to spit insults at the smirking Odonto steward.
> Beside you, Harami waves for several dolphins, and points them to the tunnels where you left Luna and Cirno. Weird, you didn't even see the dolphins when you arrived... "This must be their artifact," Harami notes, looking at the pendant. "It's probably broken into four pieces: we cannot claim the artifact until all four pieces are together, probably for the Champions' own safety." Harami looks back at you, looking at your wounded shoulder. "Are... are you all right?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"...I don't wanna go back to being human right now..."

[Sect]

>"...I don't wanna go back to being human right now..."

> Harami gives you a sympathetic look. "I can understand that, but you'll have to eventually, so that you can rest and recover. Those wounds that you received have at least closed, and you should recover overnight. But... we don't have any healers here: those with the capability of becoming healers are rare, and they are strictly forbidden to leave Odonto waters." Harami considers for a moment, pulling your outfit a little bit away from the bite wound on your shoulder so she can examine it, then nods. "When you're ready to transform back, I can help with the pain and the appearance of the wounds: it should help hide it somewhat, though if they look too closely..."
> Both of you look up at the arrival of two women with fins on their backs, dressed in flowing blue robes, carrying with them Luna and Cirno. They both look about the same that you left them, though you can see bruises rapidly forming. The sight of all of his champions unconcious brings Serras's tirade towards Shujinko to a screeching halt. The pale and mortified expression is priceless. Harami merely nods at the sight. "Thank you. I'll collect, ah, Star, was it?" The princess then races to the beach where Star is still drifting.
> Serras bolts in the opposite direction, to the sea. "Ah, you don't want your humans back?" Shujinko calls after him mockingly.
> "Screw them!" the Characi royal spits out over his shoulder. "They're worthless to me!"
> Shujinko sighs as the royal vanishes into the sea. "Such a shame, now we need to find out what to do with this garbage."

[Kips McKipzerson]

>Human life? GARBAGE?! Grit our teeth in pure rage.
>"We'll look after them. For now. And dont you EVER say anyones worth nothing, got that?"

I swear to god if this dude wasnt Haramis lapdog he would be dead by our hands.

[Sect]

>Human life? GARBAGE?! Grit our teeth in pure rage.
>"We'll look after them. For now. And dont you EVER say anyones worth nothing, got that?"

> Shujinko arches an eyebrow at you. "They're human byproducts dumped in the ocean, waiting for us to deal with it as usual. Just what do you suggest we call them other than 'garbage'? Also, you've become rather protective of them, considering that not just a few minutes ago you were beating them senseless, especially that poor girl you whipped into submission."
> "... Sango..."
> Another dolphin swims behind you and transforms. It's Twelve Fin Slaps, and she demonstrates that by jovially slapping you on the shoulder (owowthathurts!). "Don't mind Mister Uptight! Celebrate! You win! You did... what's the word...?" She thinks for a moment. "Ah, 'okay'. Still need more training!"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Just a minute, please."
>Give Shujinko a look. Firm voice. "You. Shore. Now. And be on your knees when you're there."

[Sect]

>"Just a minute, please."
>Give Shujinko a look. Firm voice. "You. Shore. Now. And be on your knees when you're there."

> Shujinko looks surprised at the look and tone of voice, but glares back, pushing up his glasses. "Why? For telling the truth of the matter? Pointing out your own hypocrisy, your own human bloodlust?"
> "Sango..."
> Twelve Fin Slaps is starting to look nervous, and edges her way in between you and Shujinko. "Ai ya ya, long day, short nerves! Champion needs rest, training tomorrow, right?"

[Kips McKipzerson]

I say we press on and kick that little pricks ass. After all, It's much better relief then just sitting back like Twelve wants us to do: It also is a good stress relief!

[Hello Purvis]

Oh, we're not kicking his ass. Physically. We're going to humiliate him.

>"If you wanna talk about hypocrisy, we can talk. But you sure as hell aren't getting to the shore like I just said to. Which given I just risked my life for you, and got my shoulder torn open for you... Now get going!"

[Sect]

>"If you wanna talk about hypocrisy, we can talk. But you sure as hell aren't getting to the shore like I just said to. Which given I just risked my life for you, and got my shoulder torn open for you... Now get going!"

> "If you think that I'm going to take any lip from you, Champion or no..."
> "No fighting! Calm down or-"
> "Sango!"
> Everyone in the cove, you, Shujinko, Twelve, the other dolphins, turns to look at Harami after her shout. She's some distance away holding onto Star, staring at you with wide eyes. "She's... she's not breathing."

[Kips McKipzerson]

>Breathe of life get it ready HURRY GOD DAMMIT
>Glare at Shujinko while you're charging. You're going to get him back. Ungrateful son of a phwee.

[Hello Purvis]

>Before we breath of life, make sure she's not gilled up.

[Sect]

>Breathe of life get it ready HURRY GOD DAMMIT
>Glare at Shujinko while you're charging. You're going to get him back. Ungrateful son of a phwee.

>Before we breath of life, make sure she's not gilled up.

> You shoot a glare at Shujinko as you rush to Harami's side. He'll get his due, you know it. Shujinko glares back, but Twelve swims in front of him and starts rapidly conversing with him in a language you don't understand.
> You reach Harami, and see Star up close for the first time since you knocked her unconcious. Her skin is paler, and her gills are still and unmoving. "H-her heartbeat's still there, but it's really weak..." Harami explains, unable to keep the stutter out of her voice.
> You swim down and almost press your lips against Star's, when you remember that she still has gills. "I-it shouldn't be a problem, I think. It should let her start breathing water just like it let Rin breathe air again..."

[Polaris]

> Go ahead with it. It's supposed to work on waterbreathers that "drown" on air, and I'm assuming there's no need to go above water for a waterbreather.

[Sect]

> Go ahead with it. It's supposed to work on waterbreathers that "drown" on air, and I'm assuming there's no need to go above water for a waterbreather.

> Harami said it should work, so let's try it...!
> Steeling up your nerves, you lock lips with her, breath air into her, and will that power to appear again. Almost instantly, that warm, powerful feeling envelops you, and enters Star. Star's body jerk's in the water, and you grab onto her to keep her still as you continue pushing the rejuvenating air into her. You're starting to feel short of breath... you've must've used the last of the stored air...
> After long seconds, Star isn't struggling in your grip, and you realize that you've had your eyes shut the entire time. You open up your eyes to see Star staring at you, wide-eyed. Her gills are flapping readily and regularly and her skin isn't the sickly pale color it was before. In fact, her face seems to be growing more and more pink...
> ... Ah. You're still liplocked with the girl.
