Finding the Infamous Leviathan

The flame princess floated down back to the ship flooring beside Remus as he diminished The Talons in wispy purple energy. His face showing slight exhaustion as it met with his companion's. "Ahh..that was tiring to say the least" He clicked his back as he leaned backwards with a sigh of pleasure, the previous swaying of the ship had seemingly died down as it slowly tilted in the same direction as the waves below, the boy believed that their short job was done so he decided to go back towards the railings to the side of the Myrmiddon. He lay his head backwards on the rails and closed his eyes, this feeling of relaxation was short lived as almost instantly the ship jerked sideways as if it was pushed, but for something to lurch this big hefty ship it'd have to be even bigger than the ship itself. The force that it was moved was enough to nearly throw the resting Remus overboard, his body flailed in the air as his eyes locked onto the water below and his heart immediately began beating faster and faster. "Momma's gotcha' you sap" The irritated voice of Mitsumaki was heard above the boy. He was being held up by the ends of his jacket, the flame princess hovered over the water and landed the two back safely on the flooring of their vessel.

Myrmiddon was still shaking and began doing so much more frequently by this ominous being under those aboard, Remus folded his arms and slowed his breathing in order to calm himself to try and make sense of what was going on. It was at that moment when a large gust of water flew into the air akin to that of a geyser, the boy was skeptical of going over to the edge to see what it was so he kept his distance and labelled it to be nothing more than an enlarged dolphin. "Even that wouldn't make any sense though, what's going on exactly? What happened to the undead?" Remus questioned as he ran his closed fist under his chin a few times, the swaying had worsened to the point that water was rushing up and over the railings of the Myrmiddon.

Mitsumaki floated beside the boy as she herself tried to get a grip on things but to avail. Remus and the others yelped as the hull of the ship bore the weight of something incredibly powerful, the young pirate whipped his head around to see the horror that lay before him. A gigantic dark tentacle was wrapped across the ship's hull and still had water sliding down to the floor of the crunched hull around the monstrous appendage. A mixture of anger and confusion was plastered across his face, he got up from the deck and ran outwards unto meeting the owner of the tentacle. The being itself was enormous in comparison to the Myrmiddon, it possessed more tentacles and finned hands which seemed to be about half the size of the ship, the facial structure was what shocked the boy the most as it's teeth were all sharpened hilts on rows and rows. Black abyss eyes and large spikes protruded along the spine. Over the roar of the terrific beast Remus' ears locked onto the yells of his captain. The Claw. Cracking out of his small moment of awe he rushed into the area that all of the members were in previously before the plan to go aboard or stay on was issued and looked for the controls which activated the claw's features. "Mitsu try and get the ship in the air" He exclaimed looking her dead in the eye with utter seriousness and was responded by a simple nod as she stopped levitating and scoured for the flight options.

Another roar sounded and with that the hull went with the weight of the moving tentacle as it tightened a little more before slowly letting up, another dark object was seen thankfully by Remus's acute vision in the water, sheer seconds came and the boy found a pair of joysticks and got into his mode, moving the big object known as the claw around he managed to clasp the tentacle which shot up at him and move it about before it slid back into the watery depths. He twirled the claw around and swung it into the face of the deadly monster causing it to be taken off guard and flopping into the water bringing the other tentacles with it. Mitsumaki had begun to take to the skies as the engine kicked into action after a few tries, the Myrmiddon was in the air and all was well. Or so they thought. The black object grew back up from the sea and it bellowed flailing it's numerous tentacles about, the beast was enraged and looked about for it's enemies hellbent on dealing out destruction.

"Be careful guys, this is far from the norm! Try to take out the tentacles first!" A shouting Remus hoped to get his voice heard by those below and give some sort of guidance to fighting the creature he creatively labelled it the Kraken,even though he was sure the others would've named it something cooler, despite the crazy situation they were in.

Daniel had gone back below deck to work on repairs, when the hull started squeaking and groaning under the stress. He hit the intercomm as he felt the cannon fire, and said, "What the bloody hell is going on up there?" He did not get a response, instead loud sounds of battle. Shrugging, he rerouted the little reserve fuel and power from the auxilary tanks into standard operations. Then he went above deck and got mad. He saw undead everywhere, and a giant sea monster. He turned to several undead on deck, and said, "Get off my ship." Then he lightning blasted them into cinders. There laid three piles of ash.

Daniel looked at the giant sea monster, and said, "So your the reason I've had to patch this bucket of bolt's together, eh?" Then he smiled mischieviously and said, "Are you hungry? Well, eat my lightning!"

He then extended his arms forward, and shot lightning bolt after lightning bolt into the monster, shooting at it's tentacles and then eyes. It was only slightly effective, but the voltage was starting to build in power. He stalked over to a nearby tentacle that was slamming into the deck, put his hands on it, and poured as much lightning as he could summon into it. The tentacle, the surround few feet of deck, air, and Daniel himself, lit up with electricity. As he did this, he yelled, "Die already ye slimy bastard!"

Not able to survey the damage, being blinded by his own attack, he limped back in the direction of the below decks door, shooting random bolts with only enough charge to shock, not even stun. His sight slowly returned, and then he stood below decks, simply adding power to the engine.

A lot went down as Rasparov simply cut down more and more of the undead that were plaguing this ghost ship that was a mockery of the name it had been given. The horde of zombies proved to be of little concern when a giant creature rose from the dark waters and began to wreak havoc on the ship they had arrived in. Anastasia declared what they had to do, using the announcement systems of the ship, and Rasparov simply cut his way through the mobs of useless bodies to protect it side by side with the metal slayer that was complaining about his better senses. "You think we have it bad, just imagine how Dazzleaiyanamor must feel. The beast has three heads, and I can only imagine that is why my pet is not fighting as well as it normally does." The man would speak calmly, and with no sign of fatigue or sign of being out of breath, as he glanced at the metal slayer before glaring at Dazzle. The creature was fighting, that was certain, but it was only taking down a single body at a time, when he had seen it maul a small village on its own when Rasparov had offered it a steak in return. Adapt was sure that the kraken would be dealt with swiftly enough. The cannon would be fired at it, and it would hopefully slay the beast. If need be he would go into the waters, though he would rather avoid that if necessary to keep his clothing clean and dry.

The metal slayer did not exactly know anything about getting the Jupiter Cannon ready to fire and had to look around through the buttons in order to find any that looked like it started up any sort of charge. He found just such a button on the same console he had found the switch that brought out the cannon itself. There was an issue in this though, the gun was only half way charged and they did not have much time at all to deal with any more damage that could be brought onto their current flagship, the Myrmidon. The kraken that was attacking it had been dealing a good amount of damage to the ship so far and if much more occurred they would be down multiple men and a ship. This prompted something surprising to happen and the Jupiter Cannon was fired prematurely before it reached max capacity in its charge. Cirven had doubts it could deal with the creature but was proven wrong as the blast fired took the head off of the kraken and ended the assault on the Myrmidon.

The shot being that strong only helped Cirven to understand that the cannon on the Mary Celeste was much stronger than most, if not all the cannons on the Myrmidon. This was unless Ana did not have any secret weapons hidden on their current flagship. He let out a cheer as he saw the kraken was killed and gave Ana a thumbs up for their victory or at least it seemed that way. "Looks like we have a new ship to use now and to fill up with crew." He spoke out to Ana while she spoke to the frequency to Remus on the Myrmidon. He was going to continue talking to her when another sound echoed up to them from below the water. He was not all that familiar with the sounds of the sea creatures but could tell that that roar was not something they should take lightly. This was further shown when Ana quickly ordered the Myrmidon to get into the air fast.

She then addressed those near her confirming what the sound came from and that they would have to stay and fight if they did not decide to jump ship to try and avoid the fight altogether. "I think we are kind of stuck here either way because that thing moves faster than this ship meaning it will out swim all of us in the water too and I'm not trying to become some underwater delicacy. Plus, I wouldn't leave either way. Can't leave my captain alone when she needs me." After speaking he found the button and started to charge up the Jupiter Cannon again, this time from it starting from zero. "Hopefully this does not take too long and this ship can take a beating in the mean time. This thing have any other weapons we can use to keep it at bay while we charge up our kill shot or do you want us to go play tag with a leviathan for a bit?" He joked as well as was asking a question. They had not gotten the best of luck with their current situation but it was at least fun for them to deal with, at least to the demon.

Cirven had been waiting in the bridge for a short time when Julius walked in an decided to take over for Ana with piloting the ship. The request came after they had dealt with the creature that was attacking the Myrmidon. Ana quickly ordered the group on their current flag ship to leave and not wait for them which was basically a way of saying they were all alone on this one and if they did not find a way out of it then they would be fish food. Cirven was already outside out while his Captain was allowing Julius to pilot and relaying the message to their allies about leaving. He knew that they needed to do something and soon and he planned to deal with the beast in some way before it was too late.

He did not know exactly what he would be able to do against the sea creature but he had to try even if it meant sacrificing himself to the beast so that his crew would have time to get away. That was the job of the Quartermaster after all. He had to worry about his crew and their well being before everything else. He took a deep breath and ran to the front of the ship where he then jumped off into the air towards where he had seen the beast coming from earlier. He aimed his body towards where he saw a dark spot and quickly formed his arm into a long blade that he quickly slashed through the water and hit the leviathan that was underneath the surface. Th attack cut through the water with such force that the water split where the blade had cut through it giving Cirven a clear view on his attack's progress for a few seconds. A squeal of pain echoed up from the water and with it the leviathan came flying up from the water. Cirven did not exactly take a lot of time to think of his options against the beast and because of that he had to quickly come up with the idea of cutting through the beast enough that it would prevent it from attacking anymore but his plan was foiled by how strong the beast actually was because it simply took the attack and was about to use one of its own on the God Slayer. The leviathan came up from out of the water and with its mouth opened wide took Cirven into its mouth with a snapping sound as if he was some type of small morsel to it.

The demon could only lay in the mouth of the beast while he realized that its fangs had dug into his body deeply and he was about to be swallowed and digested by the creature. He tried to move his body but he could not do it and felt as if his body had given up on him suddenly. A smile came over his face as his thoughts of his life started to all come connected in a flash. His sister, his friends, his crew, even his mother all flashed before his eyes as he was slowly being sloshed around the mouth of the creature before be swallowed. The creature opened its mouth and with it allowed him to see how close it had gotten to the Mary Celeste and his friends. He saw Ana staring at the creature in awe as if she had already given up on fighting it with how close it was. The leviathan closed its mouth suddenly and all Cirven could do was listen to the noises around him as his consciousness started to fade. The sounds of the water splashing around loudly was the last thing he heard and he only hoped that his friends had gotten away in time as his eyes closed and he went unconscious.


"Cirven! You are different from the others!" The voice of an older man spoke to Cirven. He was slowly recognizing everything around him. He was in the training facility for Cor Torva where they trained and tested those they had created. Cirven remembered this was when he was captured by Cor Torva and forced to train to kill for them by their head trainer and old man, Liscen. Liscen was the one talking to him at the time. "You have a side of you that was purposely implanted into your mind and made to lay dormant until you are able to control it. I will use my magic to slow time down in this area around us. To put it simply the time around us will be slowed to the point where one day in the real world is a year in here. I will push you until you awaken that side of yourself again and then we will control it." Cirven was reliving the events where he had no choice at all but to listen and because of that he simply nodded to Liscen as the entire training area was covered in a magic bubble that came from Liscen's body. "Try not to die, boy." Liscen dashed forward and started to force Cirven to fight him while attacking him with everything he had over and over. Cirven was talented and strong at this point but Liscen was better in practically every way. The two fought and fought over and over until Cirven got better and better with his magic 'Irritium Mutato' at the time that focused on a sword that Cirven could control mentally and make change into different things. This forced Liscen to get more serious and use magic that injured Cirven more and more everyday. There was an room in the training area where the two ate each day they were in the training room as well as a room where they could shower. This was the only times when Cirven could get some rest if they were not sleeping for the short time that they did in a single room with a few beds for them. Each day went by and even though Cirven got better and better Liscen was also honing his skills and was hurting Cirven more and more until finally when he went too far and Cirven's darker side came out bringing about a change to his body and his own power that Liscen was not ready for. Black lightning erupted out from Cirven and was fired at Liscen which fried the man's body and killed him ending the training on its three-hundredth day. After this happened Cirven had to be restrained by multiple Cor Torva members and they found a way to control this side of Cirven with a spell where they had to speak a certain chant. If they said the chant while he was in this darker personality he would revert back to himself. There was a problem though. He could involuntarily jump into this side of himself if he was in enough danger. Cirven never could remember what he did while consumed by his darker side and because of that he never knew he had it.



Cirven's eyes opened back up as black electricity sparked up around him. The wounds from being bitten through healed suddenly and he rose up from where he was inside of the creature using electromagnetism to lift his body up through the leviathan's throat where he was about to be swallowed into the stomach where he would be digested. The two creatures fighting was welcomed by the demon that now stood in the mouth of the leviathan. A devilish grin came over his face and then he took in a deep breath and let the air out firing a blast of black electricity at the top of the mouth of the leviathan. The blast of electricity caused the creature to be stunned for a short time which allowed Cirven to get himself out of its mouth which caught the Elder God off guard. Cirven did not care what the Elder God was and only cared about dealing with the leviathan that had tried to kill him. He flew up into the air above the leviathan and shot a bolt of black electricity into the clouds above him causing the clouds to become dark and merge with the black electricity he had sent to them. He simply continued grinning devilishly as a bolt of black electricity flew down past him towards the leviathan and hit it causing it massive damage. Cirven huffed in air after the attack and slowly flew back to the Mary Celeste where he fell to the ground of the front of the ship because he had used too much ethernano for the earlier attack because his darker side had become pretty self destructive for the attack. With this he fainted just outside of the door leading to the bridge for anyone to find him while the Elder God and leviathan continued their battle. This had given the Elder God a much easier time with fighting the creature but had taken Cirven completely out of any fighting that could happen.

The demon could hear the drumming of the sounds around him as he laid on the ground unconscious. He could not make out the sounds because they mostly sounded muffled and skewed. He did not know what had just happened but he was fading in and out of consciousness while he laid on the ground. He could not move his body at all and he could not talk. It was like all of his energy had been siphoned from him by something and he was left as nothing more as a pile of flesh and bone on the floor of the ship. Suddenly one of the sounds sounded as though it was closer to him but he still could not make it out completely while in his daze. The sound of the voice was something he could make out though and because of this he knew that it was Julius who stood over him. He did not respond back to the man, not because he did not want to but because he couldn't yet. His consciousness faded out again after hearing his crew mate.

He suddenly woke up in a familiar bed and looked around the room he was in. It all looked familiar to him but he could not place where exactly he was until the door to the room flung open and a young blue haired girl with pigtails stormed into his room. "Brother!
Why are you sleeping for so long! We have a job to do today, you know?! The team isn't going to wait for you forever!" The young girl stormed back out and slammed his door before he could give a response and left him with his eyes wide. "Aa-Aayla!?
Where am I?" He jumped out of the bed and looked in the mirror seeing that he had his old blue short hair and both of his eyes were still blue. He even felt different with his magical power. Not necessarily weaker but it was different. He then realized he was only in a pair of boxers and his sister had just told him to get ready to go on their job even saying that the rest of the team wouldn't wait long. He was blown away by what was going on but he still was able to gather himself to get dressed. He put on a white shirt, blue jeans and a blue jacket. He looked over himself before he went out and knew he was forgetting something. He turned around to see a katana and a scarf sitting on a counter across from his bed. "It has been awhile hasn't it?" He spoke out to himself as he picked up the Kukan and placed it on his side then wrapped the scarf around his neck. "Too long maybe..." He spoke out as he realized he put the scarf on all wrong and not like he used to. After a few more attempts he got it right and came out of his room to see that he was where he though. His old home or better known as The Sabertooth Guildhall that was floating high in the sky.

He walked through the castle feeling nostalgic about everything he saw, even the people that he barely remembered. It was a wake up call to him and made him think that the life he had been living was possibly a dream and that where he was was the real thing. He ran through the halls like he always remembered doing until he finally made it to the entrance area which was a bar back then set up to welcome anyone who came into the guildhall. It was the place he commonly was when not on a job, not training or awake. He thought about stopping but pushed the thought out of his head as he ran out the entrance where he was brought face to face with his old team, Holy Tempest. The team was made up of four girls and him and was known for being one of the greatest Sabertooth teams ever. The members were the always dressed in white nun and mage, Kiersa, The singer, mage and his girlfriend, Raven, The popular electric mage, Hikaru and the Water Dragon Slayer who was his sister, Aayla.

The girls each sat on top of his sister's dragon serpent pet, Zinnath and called out to him to hurry up. He then ran to them and jumped onto the dragon before they quickly took off without anymore words being said. He did not know how to take that exactly but was going with the flow. He blinked and when he opened his eyes he was suddenly in a new area with each of the girls fighting against multiple cloaked enemies. He was confused at first but before he could think much more he was attacked by another of the cloaked men and had to quickly dodge a blade that swung towards him. He quickly pulled out the Kukan and swung it through the cloaked person who attacked him causing it to fall to the ground showing the pain it had just taken was too much. He quickly made his way around and helped each of the girls with their enemies and defeated each of them with a single attack. "We got them all, right?" He questioned the girls and turned around to look at them but saw that somehow they were there at all. He turned to look back at the fallen enemies to see each of them was now each of the girls with the one he fought being the blue haired him now.

He did not understand at all. He looked down at his hands and saw that the Kukan was not there and was replaced by black electricity that sparked over his hands as a voice echoed in his head. "You had some fun, didn't you? Don't stress over spilled milk. If they were stronger they would have beaten you. This just shows that you are superior and deserve to be above the weak, right?" He could not make out the voice but for some reason he had a feeling in his chest that excited him about what he just did. "I-I did this?" He could barely get the words out as he spoke. "Surprised? You are stronger than most others because you are not most others. You were made to kill any and all things that oppose you, even the god themselves. No one will stand in your way without being struck down and shown their place!" The voice sounded like it was completely against what he thought about those around him but this time for some reason he felt that it was right. He was stronger and deserved to be above everything that were not as strong as him or weaker. No one deserved the right to be above him besides those who were stronger than him and even then he would find a way to get stronger and defeat them. He was born to do that and would achieve that goal. "I am a demon created to defeat everything." He looked down at his hands and balled them into fists. "I don't need anyone at all. All I need is more power! The power that will lead me to defeating the strongest and best in order to solidify myself as the best and above everyone else!" The black electricity raged out around his body like crazy and ripped through the ground around him in a display of pure power and the magical energy that he possessed. The lightning that came off of him went and hit his sister though and he quickly noticed what was going on with him.

"I'm not that guy. I'm not meant to live the way I was created. I am Cirven Mizune and I will live how I want to live!" The voice broke out into laughter. "Then they will all die." The voices words was followed up by flashes of everyone that Cirven had lost in his life. His father, his mother and more flashed in front of him but it all stopped when it got to his sister and he was left staring at her body on the ground in front of him with his own hands covered in his blood. "I-I-...
" He couldn't get out the words as he looked down at her lifeless body. "They are dead because you did not embrace who you were meant to be.
All because you could not be a destroyer and had to be something you are not! Accept what you are! What we are!" With that he figured out who the voice was and his sister and everything around him went completely black. Out of the darkness his blue haired self walked up to him grinning. "We will be what you fear most. It is just a matter of time." His other self spoke to him. "I won't be that! I am not that person they tried to make me be! I am me!"

The blue haired Cirven laughed and then shook his head while still grinning. "I will gain control over our body again and I will show you what it is like to be what you were meant to be." Cirven shook his head and then tried to punch his other self but his attack missed and he was tripped onto the ground. His other self then started to kick him over and over. "You think that type of strength will be enough to beat me, your darker self? That is laughable at best!" Cirven took kick after kick until he finally managed to catch the foot of his other self and pull him down to the ground where he got on top of him and started to swing down fist after fist at his face. "I am Cirven Mizune! I will choose my own life! I won't use the personality they forced me to gain! I will not use you to fight! I am strong enough without you!" He yelled back and swung down one last fist but before it could connect his other self vanished and the darkness faded away. "Hmph... We will see if you end up using me or if I end up gaining control again. Either way, you will not be getting rid of me because I am just as much you as you are me. I am Cirven Mizune and you are Cirven Mizune but who will be The Cirven Mizune in the end?" The voice laughed and the laugh faded away until Cirven's eyes opened up with his face down on the floor of the Mary Celeste.

It was different than earlier because he had gotten enough energy to move his body and push himself up. His body was still pretty much drained of his magical power though and he could only stay standing and move with some sort of leverage helping him. "What the hell was that....?" He questioned himself as he pushed himself up and used the side of the door for leverage. He did not know if that whole thing was a dream or something more going on but he knew that no matter what he would find a way to stay himself the best he could. He was not changing for anyone, not again. He turned his head to see the two behemoths behind him fighting and was in slight awe by it. It wasn't everyday that you saw two creatures the size of most big buildings fighting each other in the ocean. He didn't waste too long watching and decided that he needed to warn everyone that it was time to go before they were thrown into a battle that they had no business being involved in when all they were there for was getting a new ship and getting out of the area.

He managed to pull himself through the corridor leading to the bridge and found a seat and buckled in. He was letting out heavy breaths which showed that something was wrong because he was way too exhausted from what had happened. "So there are two giant creatures fighting out there and we should go before they get hungry and decide to eat some pirate." Even through his exhausted state he gave a grin off to those in the bridge. He had no memory of what had happened to cause him to be so worn out but he didn't care at this point and just knew they had to get out of the area quickly.
