Creature: Dark Apakolypse
Chapter 9: Seeking Information
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCreature had picked out the next place he needed for them to go to, as he, Echo, Lovebug Sektiss, Lotus Moon, and Saphirus had journeyed near the far end of the Oceanic Colony city, Pacifica. They came across a tavern that seemed to welcome many species from afar, even though it only had three that mosty came, being the Sharklantean's, Siren's, and Sea Ponies. Creature turned to all of them, as he smiled before speaking to them. "If memory serves me correct, this bar should be a safe place for all of you to hang out, or help us gather information that we seek.....come on, let's go inside." Creature urged them, as all of them entered the place.
The tavern was lively with it's music, as a few of the creatures inside stared at Lovebug Sektiss, and Echo the most, while other's gave them a few second stare before going back to their normal businesses. Near the far front of the tavern, three naked, beautiful female Siren's were dancing on the stripper pole's, rubbing their pussies along the cold metal surface, or giving the male creatures that were watching them up close some more raunchy fun, letting them spank their asses, grope their breast's, or even getting lucky enough for them to lick their pussies, as they put on a huge show for them. Lotus Moon blushed heavily upon seeing this, while Lovebug Sektiss was drooling from the sight, almost wanting to join the female siren's.
Lovebug sadly had to save that for a different fantasy, as she had come here for business, not pleasure, no matter how bad she wanted it. Saphirus had taken notes about the culture, and the tavern, until he felt something bite his leg, as he yelped in response. He looked down to see a dog sized Sharklantean who's jaw's were currently locked onto his leg, and drooling onto it, until Creature managed to pry the tiny Sharklantean off of Saphirus, as Lotus took care of Saphirus's leg before speaking. "Don't worry Saphy....I got you" Lotus said softly, as Saphirus turned to Creature who held up the Sharklantean by the tail who was biting the air, and swinging it's tiny claw's around.
"A tiny Sharklantean, what species is that?" He asked, as Creature spoke.
"This my friend.....is a Porbeagle" Creature explained.

The Porbeagle is a Sharklanean which is the only member of the Dog Sharklantean family out of all of the Sharklantean's. This tiny guy stand's about 4 feet tall, and is mostly a harmless Sharklantean. Part of the Predator Clan, this little guy is very speedy given it's size, but can also get into situation's that no other Sharklantean's have ever gotten into. It greet's many of the other Non-Sharklantean species it likes, by biting them on either the tail, or the leg. When it likes certain Sharklantean's it will impale it's throat on a Sharklantean's head, and keeped them locked to deal with. If taking care of a dog is bad enough, taking care of the Porbeagle Sharklantean is a Nightmare come true.
After Saphirus quickly jotted down this information, while Lotus attached the Porbeagle to a proper sizable leash she summoned, and patched up Saphirus's leg, Saphirus looked up at him with a question. "What happen's when a Porbeagle come's across someone it doesn't like?" Saphirus asked, as Creature gave him a warning glare.
"Be glad that you don't find out" Creature told him, as they journeyed further into the bar, for more information. Creature found what he was looking for, as he sat down in front of a Sharklantean who seemed to have many different Sharklantean's nearby him, as they were of species.
"Are you going to tell me each of these species Creature?" Saphirus asked, as Creature nodded explaining the types of Sharklantean's that stood, or sat parallel to them.
"Sure thing....the first one over here is a Blue Sharklantean" He said, pointing to the first Sharklantean.
The Blue Sharklantean is considered one of the many of the very speed Sharklantean's in the ocean, while many Sharklantean's lock onto their prey using smell, the blue Sharklantean uses not only smell, but sound...using echolocation like the Beluga Whale it can sense prey, miles away before pursuing it, and devouring it.
Creature explained, as Saphirus jotted down more notes about this species of Sharklantean. "Very interesting, what about the next one?" Saphirus asked, as Creature pointed to the next Sharklantean.
"This one is a Thresher Sharklantean" He explained, as the species of Sharklantean gave him a growl.

The Thresher's Sharklantean is a very unique hunter who's method of fighting is odd. This creature's huge tail is used by the Sharklantean to knock out prey, or predators with a single hit. Against very massive Sharklantean's the Thresher's tail whack is known to stun them for a few minute's...on smaller target's, one hit from this massive tail is powerful enough to send them an entire nautical mile away in the water....and knock it's smaller target unconscious. Despite it's huge tail, it's claws are more polydactyle making it more deadlier than usual.
Saphirus was sketching, and writing down each profile of these Sharklantean's. He was thankful that sketching drawing's over the years had helped him. Saphirus stopped after seeing the other big, and powerful Sharklantean gave him a tough threating glare, as both he, Lotus Moon, Echo, and Lovebug Sektiss gulped seeing the huge 9 foot tall Sharklantean. "A-And this one?" Saphrius gulped, earning a chuckle from Creature, as he spoke.
"That would be the Smooth Hammerhead Sharklantean" Creature answered, beginning his explanation.
The Smooth Hammerhead was one of the first many of the Sharklantean's that became it's own species of Sharklantean. When hunting in the water, the Smooth Sharklantean has been known to focus both it's eyes on it's prey without having the need of swimming side to side, like most Hammerhead's would. Do not let this fool you at all, despite this the Sharklantean is very big, and powerful, and has been known to fight Sharklantean's twice it's size.
Saphirus nervously jotted down the notes of the next one, until the final one spoke up with not only species, but his name. "And I am a Bull Sharklantean, but my actual name is Ripjaw" He told him before being kind, and telling the unicorn stallion his species.
The Bull Sharklantean is one out of the most deadly Sharklantean's in the water's. On the tip of it's arm's it's huge fin's are razor sharp which can either be used for extra speed, or as a dagger like weapon which can be used in combat. The Bull Sharklantean is very small, and speedy, but is also the only Sharklantean in existence that enjoy's being in both salt, and freshwater....and feed's on not just Magi Seal, but is also able to feed of fish, and small creatures if diet that other Sharklantean's can't stomach.
Saphirus finished getting the sketch, and of these word's, as Ripjaw spoke. "I can take it from what I'm seeing, and the way they act, they aren't exactly from the Colonies are they?" Ripjaw asked, as Creature shook his head.
"No, they are all from the mainland" Creature answered, as before Ripjaw could speak he spotted Echo who was staring at him with her beautiful eyes.
"Well, well, I've never seen a Bat pony in my life, tell me beautiful, what's your name?" Ripjaw asked, as Echo blushed slightly from his praise before she spoke.
"M-My name is Echo it's nice to meet you" She told them, trying doing her best to stop blushing.
"Echo, that's a pretty name, judging by your outfit I'd say your a guard correct?" He asked, as she tried to act more soldier like standing attention.
"Yes I am part of the Royal Lunar guard for the Princess" Echo stated boldly, as Ripjaw chuckled at her antic's before speaking.
"No need to pose, or act intimidating Echo, I like seeing your relaxed state" He told her, as Echo eased up, easily liking the way he thought before he turned to Lovebug Sektiss, and gave her an odd look. "Who exactly are you, I've never seen a creature like you before, what exactly is your name?" Ripjaw asked, as Lovebug Sektiss spoke nervously in her own voice.
"L-Lovebug Sektiss" She introduced nervously, as Ripjaw immiedietly recognized the type of species she was, just by listening to her tone of voice.
"A Changeling" He realized his voice growing soft, as the other Sharklantean's cracked the bones in their body, and began to move toward Lovebug Sektiss with hostile intent. Ripjaw managed to throw up his claw's stopping the other Sharklantean's in their tracks. "Boy's, boy's, look at the color of her skin, she is clearly not the disgusting bug version that invaded the colonies....perhaps your willing to explain your color scheme" Ripjaw asked her, as Lovebug Sektiss was about to say of being friend's with that particular hive, but chose her words carefully before speaking.
"I am a queen of my own hive, and the Changeling's have changed their way's. We are no longer the love feeding creatures that we were, when we caused trouble to the races on the Mainland before we learned to change our way's by embracing the love inside us which would never run out, and continue to support us....henceforth our new transformation" Lovebug Sektiss explained, as Ripjaw smiled.
"The impure, have purged themselves of sickness to purify their nature....how interesting" Ripjaw smiled, before looking at Lotus Moon, and Saphirus.
"And two unicorn's of the opposite sex....tell me Great White, why are you traveling with such a unique pair when you should be surviving at the Mainland?" Ripjaw asked, as Creature spoke.
"The name is Creature, and right now I have a safe, and tough crew who is developing a cure for the Tryphoceaus virus" He told him, as everyone in the bar gasped loudly before gathering around all of them, wanting to know more, until Ripjaw let out a thundering roar, getting everyone to back away.
"I guess everyone is wondering if your actually creating a cure, and haven't had it contaminated?" Ripjaw asked, as Saphirus spoke.
"No, despite the Infected Sharklantean's we came across when coming near the Infected ocean's, none of them have contaminated the lab we have with our captured specimen. The cure hasn't been developed, and our test result's have yet to conclude of the cure, more testing has to be done before we even work on the proper ingredient's for the cure." Saphirus explained, as Ripjaw looked at him with curiosity.
"So what are all of you doing here, instead of making the cure for the Tryphoceaus virus?" Ripjaw asked, as Creature spoke up.
"Based on the research that Veun told me before her departure, the cure is only designed to cure, Sea ponies, and Siren's safely.....Sharklantean's however will not be safe once the cure is injected into them which leaves me with the following. I have to find one of each species of Sharklantean of each clan, un-infected to start over a new Sharklanteam Kingdom, and there's only one place that I think that will work that will do that, and help us develop the cure further without interruption. Do you know where the island of Poseidon's Breath lies?" Creature asked, as Ripjaw spit out some of the sea like alcohol he was drinking, and shook his head.
"Only a fool would find Poseidon's Breath....that Island had it's own supernatural magic surrounding it, and no one approaches it for good reason. Plus the only ship that made it their by a pirate sea pony crew only caused more paranormal magic on that island. It's suicide" Ripjaw explained, as Creature gave him a dead look in the eyes before speaking.
"Would you rather take your chances with the island, or the entire infection that is currently spreading throughout the ocean?" Creature asked, as Ripjaw let out a deep sigh before speaking.
"Fine, but since we've got no choice besides going with you, as part of the Predator Clan, but there's also more to every piece that we thought about for all of you to know. The Predator Clan has an information scroll located behind the Goddesses throne that explain's which clan kept the map to Poseidon's breath before the Tryphoceaus virus became so deadly. The Dark Clan may have an idea of how the virus work, possibly because it could have been created. The final thing is that the Elemental Clan kept a last resort genesis project when the infection reached to them first"
Ripjaw explained, as Lotus Moon, Saphirus, Echo, and Lovebug Sektiss turned to Creature for answer's. "So where do we start?" Lotus asked, as Creature spoke.
"For now....we will start with the Predator Clan home, the only problem is we'll have to be very careful, because that place is infested to the touch with the virus" Creature explained, as Ripjaw sighed.
"I have seperate item's I can move to your steel ship, but you'll be using a seperate ship to get to Poseidon's breath" Ripjaw warned, as Creature got up, while looking at the Porbeagle that Lotus Moon had on her leash.
"Make sure you bring him, as well.....we are bringing Ripjaw, and these other Sharklantean's are going to be coming with us on our journey" Creature told them, as they all nodded, returning to the big ship that would help them get to the Predator Clan area that all of the current Sharklantean's were marked with the Clan's symbol.
