RE:BORN Zombie

160 War II

“So you have chosen to go against me Mistol.” Asked, the king. He surely was disappointed at the decision one of his trusted had made, but that was the case as is, it was already made, and too late to change. The humans were on their way as they spoke.

The king was not so blinded by power and his own goals that he could not realize the reason behind his subordinate’s decision. It was a simple reasoning.

In their former world where they were, their original world, several years after awakeners started appearing, the aliens attacked them also. In that world, the people of Atlantis were not like those of the surface, the humans, for their people knew of the existence of supernatural powers beyond mortal understanding. They already had different powers bestowed unto them by their gods before the coming of awakeners. When this period came, it only bolstered their power as a whole, and those who were powerful already became even more powerful as they were already quite supernatural in the base selves.

During that period of time was when the first of theirs obtained a power that was beyond the regular skill everyone was accustomed to, though it wasn’t an authority.

Even with all that power, the people and most importantly, the king of Atlantis chose to form an alliance with the humans instead of making them serve under him, and together they fought against the foreign beings that invaded their planet.

Ultimately, it was a complete defeat, and they all were finally sent into hiding. Luckily for them, a great phenomenon happened, and just like so, the foreign invaders were no more, but their world had changed. The humans blamed them, and soon after began hunting and killing their kind. It almost endangered their kind, but luckily for them, the people of Atlantis were really like fish, and their reproductive capacity was not one to be taken lightly.

The day came once again, after much preparation had been made, the only difference being that the humans were now slaves of Atlantis. Another major change, was the new power the heir to the throne had obtained, the complete authority over water. It was how they were able to so suppress the humans.

In the end, the battle was lost, and their new king who was the former prince was on the verge of death, and so passed his power unto his elder brother. He was meant to pass it on to his eldest child, but the child was still young and would not be able to control the power, might just get overpowered by it instead.

The elder brother, now wielding this power vowed to complete what his brother could not, but after a year of battling with these foreign invaders and ending up the same way as the last, they were once again saved by the same phenomenon that happened last time.

.....

Now, they were at their current time, and as they calculated it, the time for those invaders to come was near. They had expected them to show up sooner, since they did show up sooner on their second coming, but it seemed this time was different. So, they expected them to come anytime at the moment. Though, through the information Mistol provided, which he got from the humans, it seemed they still had a little bit of time.

The Atlantians saw the great reset as their gods saving them and giving them another chance. They always were left with a few few people, all who met the criteria, so they never knew of the fact that the weak would die during this reset. At the moment, the king and all the elders and some others were all from the first and original world. Excluding the prince who was now in hibernation of course. Perhaps, since he also didn’t get eliminated, it was part of the reason they suspected nothing.

“The humans are here.” Said, the king.

He stood from his seat and like a torpedo, shot through his very own roof and skewed through the waters until he emerged at the top, which took less than thirty seconds, showing his speed underwater, since he could control the currents and how it affected and worked round him.

Looking around him, all he could see were human fleet, though not as many as he expected. Without saying much or waiting to hear what the humans had to say, be attacked.

The fight went on for some time, but the king started noticing that the humans didn’t seem too intent on harming him weirdly, as he was yet to receive any dangerous attack, which he knew for sure they would have. It wasn’t like none of the humans possessed an offensive skill.

Another thing he noticed was that the one who he fought the last time was not amongst them. He figured that he must have been hiding and waiting for a chance to attack, but after laying several bait that caught nothing, he was a bit confused.

Finally, however, the humans managed to calm the king down to talk to him about their plan, as they had not come with the intention fighting and up front battle to begin with.

They reversed a place on one of the crafts for them to have a discussion, which soon fell apart as the king refused to form any sort of alliance with the humans.

Another fight broke out, and they resumed the battle, only that this time, the humans were attacking seriously, though they could not get to the king as his water had something similar to an automatic defense mechanism that blocked certain attacks as long as they were long ranged, and most of the attacks were, since no one could get close to him.

“You are too arrogant! To come face us alone. Do you think we are weak?” One of the rankers said. He was from Under Current, and it would seem as though his pride was much, but it wasn’t. Veritas was yet to join the fight.

They had to plead with her not to join in for as long as possible, because she really didn’t have much friendly techniques or skills. Pretty much all of her skills were meant for killing and all that could lead to death.

Even then, the whole thing seemed to have gone one for long enough.

“It’s not like we have that much time to spare.”

Even when they engaged the king, the waters kept rising, and even worse seemed to be doing just so even faster than before.
