Coral Sea - Sunken Ship
 |
Oh yeah... We screwed up big time, and Azul... I shouldn't know any of this, but I do... Where are these memories comin' from?! |
 |
Ah! I'm picking up some aether signals! |
 |
The darkness has decided to show itself! |
 |
Ah, there you are. We've been looking all over for you, Floyd. |
 |
We heard everything. Really now, if they were going to lie to you, they could've at least tried to keep it within the realm of plausibility. You're a moray merman—a predator who captures his prey with swift swimming and sharp fangs. Even sharks and killer whales tremble in fear when they see that golden eye of yours glowing in the darkness. How could you ever lose to land-dwellers? |
|
You couldn't. Don't give any credence to trite land-dweller tales. |
|
Jade? Azul...? |
 |
Floyd, stay away from them! They're going to drag you into even deeper slumber! |
|
It would be simple enough to trounce them, but I imagine you'd find it more snooze-inducing than shooing away shrimp. Come to us. You can certainly have more fun with us than them. |
|
More...fun? |
|
Heheheh. We'll go along with anything you'd like to do today. |
|
Perhaps sparring with a shark in a sunken ship? Matchmaking merfolk with romantic troubles might also be profitable. Forget about that boring land above and let's have some fun. The three of us, together forever, down here under the sea... |
|
The three of us, together... |
|
Ah, what a wonderful life. What more could anyone ask for? |
|
...You wouldn't say that. |
| Huh? |
|
You guys'd never spout borin' lines like that! |
| ?! |
|
Who are you people? Don't go around sayin' creepy stuff wearin' their faces and speakin' with their voices—ah, aaagh! Gah... Eegh! AAAaaaAAAUUUGH! |
FLASHBACK
  |
  |
 |
 |
*CRACK, SHATTER*
|
Uuuuuugh... My head... |
|
Did Floyd just...wake up?! |
|
He rejected the darkness's enticements without any help?! |
|
The real Jade would try to get my whole sob story from start to finish. And Azul might lie as easily as breathin', but callin' the land above boring? Talkin' about us bein' together forever? He'd NEVER say stuff like that. If one of us ain't feelin' it or can't keep up, we ditch 'em, simple as that. That's our rule. YOU guys, though... You guys just suck. It ticks me off. I'm gonna sink you deeper than that ship! |
Battle!

Coral Sea - Sunken Ship
|
Floyd, how could you...? |
|
I thought...we were...best friends... |
|
Tch, you're STILL puttin' words in their mouths. I'd better not see your fake faces again, you little minnows. |
 |
Eep! He's slamming his tail into the sunken ship and smashing it apart... That's a yikes from me. I don't wanna go near that guy... Quick, uh, someone talk to him! Jamil! You're in his club, right? Go on! |
 |
What? Why me? |
|
Do you want to send in the underclassmen instead? |
|
*sigh* Fine, if I must. Floyd, I'm glad you were so quick to wake up. |
|
Huh? Why're you guys still hoverin' around? It's gettin' on my nerves. You wanna get squeezed? I'm REALLY ticked off right now, y'know. |
 |
Eep! Let's run for it, [MC]! Goin' by that look in his eyes, he ain't lyin'! |
| Please, just hear us out! | Let's all take a step back! |
|
Yes, [MC]'s right. Calm down for a moment and listen to us. Do you remember getting caught in that spell Malleus cast at Lilia's farewell party? |
|
Huh? Oh, wait... I do vaguely remember goin' to a farewell party for Devilfishie. Huh... Wait, then what am I doin' under the sea? |
|
I can field that question. Would you mind watching this video? |
