The Californian hopped over the low fences enclosing one wall of the pool before floating the dolphin's bubble across. "Easy, girl," he whispered, reaching inside it to pet her. "You're safe now. I'll just purify the water so that you can swim safely in it. It's okay now." That said, he turned his back on the little cetacean and set about distilling the pool. A bright bluish glow radiated from his hand, a glow that spread across the entire surface of the pool. He closed his eyes and whispered a very elaborate spell he had learned from the Ringling Brothers long ago: "Abracadabra."
The entire pool flushed white, and then dulled to its normal blue-green color. Landon directed the curious dolphin's bubble over the pool before lowering it, letting one body of water merge with another. Soon, he heard the light splash that meant the dolphin had been successfully dropped in the pool. Having completed the ordeal. Landon sat down against a concrete protrusion not far from the water's edge and closed his eyes. All that bubble-lifting had wearied him, and all he wanted to do now was rest.

☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ Rutilio hurried to the side of the pool to make sure the dolphin was swimming alright on her own. He was worried about how weak she might be after all that happened and slipped into the pool with her to make sure the baby wasn't sick. "We need to get her food," he said after a few moments. "She needs fish."
He glanced up and noticed his little brother sitting down and raised his voice. "Alta, are you alright?" he called. ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ <>

The Californian stirred when he heard his name being called. “Yeah, I’m fine,” he told Florida, standing and stretching. “I haven’t done that much lifting in a while!” he exclaimed. “I’m exhausted!” Technically the statement was a lie, for he had already taken a five-minute nap that did wonders for his mild fatigue.

☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ Rutilio smirked faintly and couldn't resist teasing his little brother. "Already exhausted! Who is the old man now, chico?" he said more than asked. Florida was usually the one who got grief for having so many people retiring in his borders and not to mention his age in general. Sometimes being the oldest state was a little troublesome with all the young upstarts wanting to taunt him about being old. He was still very, very young! Just because he was only a few decades away from his 500th birthday didn't make him an old man. That was still a little kid when compared to many nations! ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ <>

Kartlos Beridze
The Musical Sophomore Kartlos followed the others to the pool and sat down beside it. He looked into the pool where Landon had just placed the dolphin. The dolphin seemed happier now, and Kartlos was glad. "Well that was fun." He said with a small laugh. He hadn't been on such and adventure in a long time. Of course little did he know the fun was only just beginning.
[Out.Of.Songs: Sorry I took so long... I'm only just now even reading this... I'm sorry! T_T // When I read that the dolphin needed fish I was tempted to have Seychelles come to the rescue(She always has fish on hand). ]

Landon suddenly remembered that Rutilio had said the little cetacean needed fish. He hopped up from his cross-legged position to dart over to Juliana's car. Maybe there was some fish in there? Luckily, he found some, in the form of preserved sardines. They weren't ideal dolphin food, but they would just have to do. The Californian made his way back to the other sophomores and the baby dolphin and offered it the sardines. "Are you hungry, girl?" he asked, holding one out to her. "Come on, don't be that way," he begged when she spit it out. "It's all we have..." When she had reluctantly eaten all of the sardines, she turned over and began swimming idly. Landon noticed she still had a long cut in her tail and left flank. "Kartlos, do you see that?" he asked the Georgian, indicating the remaining wounds. "D'you think you can do something about that?" (Phone. Since the other two are MIA for all we know, we might as well start the gang fight after more healing. Hopefully they return in time to participate in that.)

Kartlos Beridze The Musical Sophomore Kartlos watched as the dolphin unhappily ate the sardines, as they were the only suitable food they had for it. Those sardines didn't look very good in Kartlos's opinion, but it wasn't like they had anything else. When Landon pointed out a cut that hadn't healed, he leaned in closer over the pool to get a better look at the dolphin. It was true, there still was a long cut in her tail. He nodded. He was still weak from the earlier healing but he had enough time to recover mostly, and he was fairly certain he could heal the tail. He leaned over the pool and held his hands out towards the dolphin. "Come here little one." He said, and once the dolphin came near him, he quickly and quietly sang something in Georgian and once again they glowed as Kartlos healed the last of the little dolphin's injuries. Once the glow faded it was quite clear that Kartlos's healing spell had worked once again and the dolphin was now without injury, though she still seemed a bit worried about something, though what it was Kartlos couldn't imagine. Kartlos rolled over so that he was laying on has back now, facing Florida and California.

Landon sat back and propped his hands behind his head, watching the marine animal swim about. Their visit to the beach had proved far more fruitful than he had expected. They had even gotten a dolphin out of it too! And he had gotten to hear some neat new languages in the meantime. Landon glanced over at Juliana and, seeing that she was busy, turned to Kartlos instead. “Your native language sounds pretty!” he commented. “Does it look just as pretty?”
Before the other could respond, the gates burst open with a loud clang. Four men, dressed all in black and wearing ski masks, barged in with guns at the ready. “Hand over the dolphin and no one gets hurt!” the tallest man in front commanded.
California had no idea who these men were, but it sounded like they were the cruel dolphin trainers Rutilio had mentioned earlier. A glance at the aggravated dolphin, who was cowering in the farthest and deepest part of the pool, confirmed his hunch. “I don’t know exactly who you are, but you’re not leaving here with this dolphin!” he declared bravely.
Landon could swear the lead man’s veins popped. “You asked for it!” he snarled. “Get them, boys!”
At his direction, one man each charged for each student. Landon dodged the dark-skinned person who made a grab for him. “Ha! Too slow!” he chortled, ducking as the enraged man punched at the space where his head was. He neglected to use magic because these men looked like the sort who didn’t believe; not only that, the water would only serve to make them even madder. Not that he had tried to prevent that with his prior insult, California reflected wryly. Darting around to his back, he aimed a kick for the man’s knees. The blow connected, sending the man to the ground, but he quickly stood up again, smacking the barrel of his gun repeatedly in his other hand. Landon, seeing this, ran closer to the man so that he could not use his ranged weapon on him.
It was times like these when Landon wished he had his revolver with him…

☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ Florida had been watching the little dolphin and was glad to see she was able to get some sardines in her although that wouldn't be good enough. They needed to find a better place for her to stay where she could get some proper care, but for the moment this was the best they could do. Rutilio sat on the edge of the pool and watched as Georgia started to heal the dolphin, wondering who they could call for help...
The clay-brown haired boy looked up when he heard someone barge in and start shouting at them. It all happened so fast he wasn't quite sure what was happening until one of the new arrivals suddenly lunged at him. "Mierda!" he squeaked in surprise as he instinctively jerked back and lost his footing. Rutilio only yelped as he felt himself fall backwards into the pool. ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ <>

Kartlos smiled. ""Of course it is! Georgian is a beautiful language, both spoken and written!" He bragged. But before he could get to talking about how much more beautiful it sounded sung than spoke, four men, who Kartlos assumed were the evil trainers who had abused the dolphin. He stood, and if he was still a bit weak from the healings he didn't show it. "No way are we giving you this dolphin. Not now not ever!" He said with a glare towards the leader. Obviously angered by Landon's and Kartlos's retorts, the man sent his minions out to attack the three boys. Kartlos grinned as he easily dodged the man's attacks and responded with a powerful punch of his own. This would be so easy, even if he wasn't quite at full strength! Seeing Rutilio fall into the pool, Kartlos ducked under the man's swinging fist, and ran towards the pool, extending a hand towards his friend to help him out of the water.

Landon ducked yet another wild blow from his attacker and countered with a blow to the instep. He had to admire the man’s guts. Surely he knew he was outclassed both in accuracy and agility by now, yet still he kept pressing on.
But Landon didn’t want to admit that he was getting a little weary himself. This futile exchange of blows couldn’t last much longer; he was getting a little tired already. The Californian realized belatedly that he hadn’t rested enough to wage a full-on melee with this human tank, who seemed not to know when to fall down.
Ironically, as he thought this, he himself was the first to fall down. As Landon whirled to deal his attacker a roundhouse punch, his foot slipped on the tile lining of the pool, and he tripped sideways into the pool with a splash that soaked them both. The gang-leaders’ flunky, seeing his chance, whipped out a gun and aimed it directly at California, who was just now resurfacing. ”Hand over the dolphin now, and perhaps you will live to see another day,” he hissed.
Landon glanced frantically around for the dolphin. At least she had had the good sense to dive deep and evade their evil gaze. He sucked up a mouthful of purified pool water and spewed it all over the man’s face before diving down and swimming rapidly for the opposite end of the pool. If he could just create some distance between him and his attacker, he might actually be able to defeat him…

Kartlos Beridze
The Musical SophomoreDistracted by both Rutilio and Landon falling into the pool, Kartlos also soon found himself slipping into the water. As Kartlos pulled himself up he heard some of what the man said. He glanced up and saw the weapon, pointed straight at Landon. Kartlos's eyes widened. This is not good. he thought as he took in the situation. 3 of them were in the pool, and Kartlos had no idea whether Juliana could fight. As he made his way towards the edge of the pool, the man he had been fighting pulled out a gun as well.
"Don't move." Kartlos froze. The man chuckled, thinking he had Kartlos in the palm of his hand. "Now give me the dolphin" he ordered. Kartlos glared at the man.
"არასოდეს!" The man looked at him like he'd just spoken a foreign language. Oh wait, he had spoken a foreign language. It kind of ruined the point he was trying to make. It was just habit, one that often came out when he was angry. "In your dreams!" Kartlos corrected himself. The man's cocky grin vanished.
"So that's how it's gonna be then." he said, then fired the gun at Kartlos. Fortunately he had good reflexes, plus he had seen in coming, and he quickly dived down, though not fast enough, as the bullet scraped his shoulder. It surprised him, and while still underwater his mouth opened, and he accidentally inhaled some of the water. He returned to the surface, coughing and spitting out water. "Damn he's quick." The man said, more to himself.
Just now noticing that, are you? Kartlos thought. The man paused for a moment, unsure if he wanted to waste any more of his bullets on Kartlos. In the end he decided to, and Kartlos easily dodged it as well. Kartlos hoped the man would give up soon, because he didn't know how long he could dodge bullets, as it was difficult to maneuver in water and he was already tired as it was.
[Out.Of.Songs: არასოდეს! = Never! // O.O Long post is long. I just wanted Kartlos to do something and kind of got carried away. ]

Principal Romulus saw what was going on in the pool area. he shook his head. Do these students not know how to read? There was a "No trespassing" sign on the gate. But that was beside the point, he was not going to let those thugs hurt his precious students. The angry Roman was behind one of the men and held an ancient blade up to his neck "What do you think you're doing to my students?" he said in an angry tone. Imperium Romanum

☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ Florida grabbed Kartlos' hand and was grateful for the help until his weight and the Georgian's own lack of concentration sent both of them falling back into the pool again. When he resurfaced he was slightly behind his European friend and to the left looking up into the angry faces of two gangsters. The one who had tried to grab him first looked annoyed but the one who had been after Kartlos had a gun!
"H-Hold on a second!" he squeaked. "Can we not talk about thi--Eek!" Rutilio's voice shot up a few octaves when the one with the gun opened fire on Kartlos and barely missed him, too. He backed up a nervous step or two. Though he had certainly faced down the barrel of a gun more than once that didn't exactly mean he enjoyed it. The Floridian noticed out of the corner of his eye that another man had pulled a gun on Landon. This wasn't exactly a good scenario considering none of the boys were exactly armed and could only run or dodge at best for the time being. There was one technique Rutilio could use, but he was hesitant to draw a trump card unless it was absolutely necessary.
Before Florida could weigh his options too heavily, he noticed that the gangster who had been after him before suddenly had a sword to his neck. He hadn't seen that coming but Rutilio wasn't complaining. "Principal! You have come to save us!" he cheered happily. ☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀✿☀ <>
