A
Dolphins Nightmare Story
On a planet
known as Earth, in a different time line, living in the waters of the seas, was
a race, a clan, that had became so strong and powerful with-in a long period of
time they had became the master’s of the seas.
They had
driven mankind away from the seas and built their own civilisation, then
eventually the life form known as man was soon extinct and these powerful
creatures where soon not just in control of the sea but all of Earth.
These
creatures were a race to be known to us as an innocent species, a species that
we could communicate with, these were our beloved dolphins.
They had
became intelligent and cunning, they had also evolved into a stronger dolphin species,
one which could stay underwater without air, one that could use the power and
technology of the ancients, these where known as the Clan.
A race of
dolphins that was driven on power and brute strength, there was no sign of
their old traits, their old feelings of Compassion, Wisdom and Humility, just
Ambition and Intelligence.
It all
started a long time ago, when man and dolphin were destine to meet but things
changed as a sighting of a large airborne object was seen and which enchanted
the dolphins of that time with irresistible power.
They stole
the important traits that would of brung human and dolphin together,
Compassion, Wisdom, Humility, Ambition and Intelligence.
But after
when the strange object was destroyed a young dolphin approached the destined
dolphins and gave back to them Ambition and Intelligence.
When this mysterious
dolphin left the dolphins of the sea began to talk with each other and decided
that they didn’t want mankind in their waters, instead they wanted to be known
as species to reckon with, they became aggressive and drove the humans away from
the seas, making their own civilisation.
As time
went on the Clan was born, they were a group of dolphins that ruled with great
superior strength and power, no one dared to oppose them, those who did would
be punished heavily, their families and villages would suffer with them.
The Clan
was lead by a strong dolphin whose intelligence and ambition was the strongest
of all, all who looked upon him feared him and respected him like if he was a
God, his name had been echoed through out the seas, his name was Mutaclone, the
ruler of the Clan.
He lived up
high above the seas in a floating water bubble, which levitated high on the mountain
top on this small but beautiful isle.
There were
many bubbles and isle, some even levitated high in the skies where water tubes,
made completely of water, were the only way to travel to them.
The power
of levitation was one of many technologies and powers that the Clan had, there
was more, some that was so advance it went beyond anything on Earth.
Nothing
could oppose the Clan with this power and technology at their disposal.
But there
was one group that opposed the Clan, one that saw the cruel ways of the Clan
and decided enough was enough, action had to be taken before the Clan lead the
dolphins to their own destruction.
These were
known as the Resistance lead by a young dolphin whose name also echoed through
out the waters of the sea, his name was
Unlike the
Clan the Resistance was not strong and powerful but they relied on their
cunning, speed and stealthy ways to hide themselves.
Their body
struchers was not built how the Clan’s was, the Clan was more muscular and
powerful looking, where the Resistance were more slim and agile looking.
Mutaclone
resented the Resistance, he saw them as menace to his empire and demand that
they be eradicated.
He was
talking to two of his Exulted dolphins which both possessed great power, these
two were Emental, the dolphin known to have the power of Fire and Ice, and
Gravaler, the dolphin who could use the power Levitation.
Mutaclone
was talking about the opposing dolphins and how displeased he was that they had
not been eradicated.
The two
Exulted ones assured Mutaclone that the Resistance would fall but he was not
feeling assured, he made this clear as he approached them and gazed at them
with his red eyes, swimming around them slowly as he did.
He warned
if the Resistance was not eradicated soon the chance were that the Clan could
lose power and if that happened he would make sure they would not survive.
As he said
this in a threatening, dominant way the other two dolphins were quickly to
agree with him and assured him that the Resistance would soon fall.
Mutaclone
growled at them, telling them he had heard that before and yet they still
haven’t destroyed the Resistance.
He then
swam in between them, scrapping his sharp, spiked, fins across their sides as
he did, not enough to wound them but enough to make them feel how disappointed
he was.
He then
ordered them away and warned them not to fail him.
They bowed
to his will and vowed with their lives they would have the Resistance destroyed
without mercy.
As they
swam away Mutaclone swam to his place of rest, which was on a soft piece of
underwater plant life, it was big enough and strong enough to support his
massive body structher, so it would not break.
He had a
lot of things in his domain, from plant life to the technology that he was so
found of, but not as found of as he was of his daughter, the one thing he truly
cared the most about.
Taple was
the name of his child, she was the only dolphin he had ever shown kindness to,
apart from his mate who had died two wars ago when the Clan battled to drive
away a powerful force called the Foe.
The Foe
wanted to conquer the Earth but was met with superior power and strength from
the Clan and Resistance.
This was
the time the dolphins used to be one, this was before they split into two
factions, when Taylor and Mutaclone used to be strong allies.
But after
the death of his mate Alura Mutaclone decided strength and power should be the
Clans strong points, no weakness could be shown or be apart of the Clan.
His ways
became too demanding, too violent and too cruel.
But Mutaclone
called it blasphemy and rejected
Mutaclone
called Taylor a traitor and renowned him as an outcast.
As Mutaclone
thought about this he felt a small peck to his sides and quickly he reacted by
turning around aggressively at the one who pecked him, growling as he did.
He then saw
it was his daughter playing with him and quickly calmed down, while his
daughter Taple backed off quickly, thinking she was in trouble.
But Mutaclone
rubbed his beck against her, telling her it was alright, but he looked at her
firmly and said with a strict tone that she should never attack a clan leader,
unless she intended to over throw him and at this point his tone turned to a
more jestful tone which made the young dolphin feel relieved.
Taple then
asked her farther if she could join the Clan warriors, she had always wanted to
join them because she liked the fact that she got to fight and show the others
who was in charge.
Her farther
was reluctant to allow her to do this, he felt it would put her in danger and
if anything was to happen to her who would take his place.
When he
told her this she begged him to let her join and that was something he didn’t
like, begging, begging was a sign of weakness and that was something he would
not allow, not from his own flesh and blood.
As he
lectured her about begging she apologised for her ways and lowered her head in
shame.
He swam around
her, looking at her, repeating his words until it was in her head to never show
weakness, ever.
She nodded
slowly, feeling bad about what she did, she never meant to disappoint her
farther, her farther was like a mentor to her and to disappoint him was like
disgracing herself.
He then
stopped and calmed down, realising he may had been rough on her, she was only a
youngling, she wasn’t to know any better, but still he kept to his point and
just told her to never show weakness or others could use that against her.
She nodded
slowly again and was going to swim away but her farther asked her where she was
going, not wanting her to leave yet.
She stopped
and looked at the entrance to the water tube that she was going to swim
through, waiting to hear what else her farther had to say.
He then
ordered her over, she was alittle bit reluctant to go over to him but when he
ordered her again in a firm voice she soon swam to him, looking at her farther,
trying not to show her emotions to him.
But he
could tell she was upset and scared so he decided to try and be kind to her,
although this wasn’t a thing he was used to but he didn’t want to push her away
from him either, so he swam up to her and rubbed his face across her’s, trying
to tell her that he still cared for her and told her he just wanted what was
right for her.
He then
pulled away from her slowly, looking at her red like eyes and her darkened skin
with gold metal around it, he then told her with pride, thinking about his mate,
that she looked exactly like her mother.
She looked
at him wanting to smile about it but wasn’t sure whether to smile.
He then
also decided that maybe it would not be such a bad idea if she was trained by
the Underlines, the Clan warriors, but she would have to be protected at the same
time, so he decided that she would be trained by a high rank leading dolphin.
When he
told her this she soon smiled and swam about excited, infact she was doing her
dolphin aquabatics to say she was happy.
Else where
in the lower depths of the sea of Earth laid a large village that was ran by
the Clan, but next to them was an outsider village, in that village Dolphins
that wasn’t apart of the Clan or Resistance lived there.
They were a
poor village, they didn’t hardly get any food because of the Clans greedy ways,
the only food they got was food from the Resistance who had been generous to
the villagers and had been fighting for villages like theirs.
But even
the Resistance couldn’t stand up to the might of the Clan.
In the Clan
village, that was ran by a Clan leading dolphin known as Kronos, the dolphins
there were working their hardest to keep their village protected and sealed
away from intruders.
Kronos was
responsible for everything in this village, any mistakes he would know about it
and would have it amend as soon as he could.
Kronos was known
for his strength, cunning and the sort to never allow weakness, but he was also
merciful, considering, kind and caring.
Every now
and again he would give food to the neighbouring poor villagers but would
always make sure the Clan food was replaced before inspection.
The other
dolphins of the Clan found his ways rare and interesting, but at the same time
considered them as weak, but dared not say to him this, unless they want to
know his bad side that is.
There was
another dolphin in the village that was known for her brute strength,
leadership and intelligence, she was known as Iza and was second in commend,
also a favourite of Kronos.
He and she
had been loyal friends, infact Kronos was her mentor and like a farther figure
to her.
She was
originally not a member of the Clan, she was an ordinary dolphin that was
founded by Kronos, at this time she was weak and had no courage, her parents,
plus her tribe, were slained during the Clan wars and she had no trust for no
one, but when Kronos and his party saw her Kronos took pity on her, he offered
her a choice to side with him and live to avenge her tribe or stay and die.
She wasn’t
sure of him at first but when she realised he wasn’t from the Clan that killed
her tribe and parents, plus what he offered seemed like a good idea, anything
to avenge her tribe, she decided to join him.
Since then
she had been at his side and had been proven to be a worthy warrior of the
Clan.
She quickly
raised through the ranks and had shown her abilities in front of the Exulted
ones, even Mutaclone found her worthy, she even one time had the chance to face
him in combat, as a test of might, when she did she lost to him but he was very
please with her and felt she was one of the best because she took him on when
others didn’t.
And because
of this he offered her a place at his side, being one of the Exulted ones, even
Kronos wanted her to take on the responsibility of an Exulted one, but she
declined and told him her duties were on the field where she had unfinished
business to attend to, plus she felt she belong at Kronos side more.
Mutaclone
understood this and told her that a place will be open if she ever changed her
mind.
And so she
remained in the seas with Kronos, performing her duties as a Clan Commander.
In the Clan
village Iza was busy inspecting the food stocks, making sure there was enough
to please the Exulted ones, especially Mutaclone.
She then
went on to inspect how the security was, she checked the trumpet plants, making
sure they reacted to the sonar of the Clan, but she saw a fault with these, she
felt they could be used to trick the Clan warriors that something was there,
she couldn’t have them taken down though, they needed them to attract their
food, so in the end she ordered guards to double their portals and leave no
openings.
She then
went to check the slave chambers underground, she was escorted by two Clan Warriors,
who she asked to come with her.
When they
arrived in the darken white like chambers they saw the slaves, they were a
mixture of Humpback Whales, Orcas, Sharks and other species.
They were
all separated by race, especially the Sharks, the Clan knew how aggressive they
could get if not controlled.
Iza looked
at them as she swam through the corridors, she looked at the Sharks and ordered
that they were to be taken for mind control immediately.
The
Underlings that were on duty obeyed her commands but warned of one Shark that
was being resistant to their will.
This
interested her very much and she wanted to see this Shark.
So two
Underlings escorted her to this Shark and when they arrived in another room,
where this massive cell laid, she soon saw this resisting Shark, it was infact
the Great White, very well known to be troublesome to the Clan.
“Is this
the one?” she asked directly at one of the Underlings.
The
Underling she was talking to acknowledged her that he was the one, he even
showed her by memory shard how the Great White attacked them, this did interest
her.
Infact she
wanted to see what he could do and wanted to go inside his cell in person, but
as she asked this the Great White bashed his cell with his mighty tail and then
swam around, aggressively, now she defiantly wanted to go in there, to put him
in his place.
The
Underlings were unsure that it would be a good idea to let her in but the
Warriors reminding them who was in charge, so they decided to let her in.
As they let
her in the cell the huge beast bashed the cell again, ignoring Iza, just aiming
at the other dolphins.
He then
looked at Iza and spoke to her in a forward, unnerved manor, showing off how
scary he was “you see that? All those dolphins are cowards compared to my
kind”.
He then acknowledged
that Iza was a Clan Captain and showed his respect to her “of cause there are
those that are braver, ol good Captain”.
As he came
closer she thrusted her beak forward, followed by a growling sound, warning him
to back off or he may regret it, but he was laughing at her efforts but knew
better then to mess with her, he knew what Clan Captains, Leaders, High Ranks
could do, especially Captains from his experience.
“Are you
going to kill me for defining your Clan’s will?” when he asked this he seemed
afraid, like if he didn’t want to die, he even told her he would fight for his
life.
She didn’t
understand why a beast like him would be afraid, he seemed so strong and powerful,
it didn’t make sense to her.
He then
asked that question again “are you going to kill me?”
She was
thinking of taking him on in a fight but yet his actions stopped her, she could
sense he was willing to fight to live but she also knew she could kill him.
This scene
reminded her of her situation long ago, being weak and powerless, but she also
remembered what Kronos did for her, so she looked at the huge beast, offering
him a choice, join her and serve at her side or face his fear because she knew
that the Clan won’t tolerate defiance’s.
The Great
White looked at her and wondered about her actions, why was she being so
generous to him? This wasn’t like a Clan dolphin to act, he thought.
She then
repeats her words again but in a shorter way “serve at my side and be granted
life, your choice, life or death?” as she spoke these words she gazed at him
with look to tell him that she meant what she said.
He thought
about it and thought about her actions, he then agreed to serve her but only if
can serve her and her only.
She agreed
to this and swam out of the cell with the beast, telling the Underlings that he
was to come with her where he would serve her.
The
Underlings were shocked by this but the two Warriors wasn’t, they knew she had
the gift of making any being submit to the Clan and join her, infact they had
the look if they were smiling sinister about it.
But when
the Great White looked at them with a fierce look they soon backed off and
changed their expressions to a more fearful, respectful expression.
Iza told
the two Warriors to follower her behind and warned the Great White if he was to
try anything she won’t hesitate to fight back.
The Great
White understood this and vowed to remain loyal to her till the very end.
They soon
arrived in the main Clan building where Kronos was watching every movement, he
had heard about Iza’s actions in the Slave Chambers and was very impressed with
her, two Guardian dolphins beside him felt she should have been an Exulted one.
Kronos
hashed them and told them that she makes the choices in her life, that she
belonged on the field of battle, an Exulted role would not be satisfactory, not
for her, no she was a fighter and would not stop until she had found the ones
who butchered her tribe.
One of the Guardians
told him that the tribe was delt with long ago and that there was no need for
her to continue.
But Kronos
knew that there were some around and knew that she was hunting for them, she
had been ever since she had joined the Clan.
Always
trained herself, done her duties, kept everyone in line and treated everyone
with fairness, which was a rarity among the Clan.
When Kronos
told the Guardians this they were amazed by this and wondered about it, but
Kronos told them that it was enough questions for the time being because he had
his duties to perform, as they had aswell.
