THE SEA Similar to the forests in the aspect that it holds an abundance of different types of creatures, the sea is vast and separated into different areas. Around Latent, the Port of Gambino, and Gambino Island is the Sea of Gambino. Relatively calm waters, it is home to numerous types of fish and aquatic mammals. More toward the west and past the Great Wall of Gambino is the Dürem Ocean. Unlike the Sea of Gambino, the Dürem Ocean is teeming with carnivorous and aggressive beasts with a pension for attacking ships to get the food aboard, both storage and crew. Only the brave dare to travel into the Dürem Ocean... or the greedy, for a legend tells of one of Gambino's largest ships being sunk somewhere in the Dürem Ocean containing millions and millions of Gold. No one knows if it was a monster that sunk it, or a rival competitor, but those who've gone seeking the lost treasure were never heard from again From the land at the base of the cliff outwards, the sea is only twenty to thirty feet deep, extending about 100 meters before it sharply drops off to one hundred and twenty feet, and slopes downwards from there as it extends out to sea. However, further north of the village, along the coast, is a sandbar, upon which the earth slopes down as it extends towards the drop off, rather than cutting so sharply down as it comes off of the rocks that form the cliff face.

Naveah sat upon a rock looking upon devil's isle. Her cerulean eyes examined the shore softly and the pearls adorning her hair twinkled in the light. She raised her blue fin and moved it slowly. Her body was laced with pearls and her long deep blue hair covered her naked upper torso. She sang softly to herself and waited for something. Perhaps she can get a glimpse of a human or two today.

*Far in the distance, a boat appeared on the horizon. On the boat was a full crew made out of nothing but wood, but run by magic. This crew could be seen cleaning the deck, rowing the boat from the under-quarters of the boat, and basically doing anything that the captain told them to do. Their captain was not made out of wood, but was a human. Her name was Akilan and she took her stance at the front of the boat with her arms on her shoulders, crossed over her chest. Her eyes were closed in meditation when one of the wooden crew members tapped her on the shoulder* Ma'am. *Akilan broke out of her mediation a bit annoyed at the little wooden man. Turning only her eyes to him, she replies back* Yes, what is it dear crew? Why have you disturbed me?So sorry Ma'am, but I wanted to tell you that we are only a day away from land. We will start preparing to make landfall.That is fine. Just do not disturb me unless we are there, or something goes wrong.*And with that, she went back to her mediation, hoping to accomplish this task before landfall the next day*

::The ocean. Such a beautiful sight. Thousands of fishes swim below, skipping and jumping like birds beneath the waves. Today, on this quite morning, a mile head of Akilans sails...a comet flies over head.
Now, unlike your average comet, which puts forth flares of gorgeous firey hues, this comet casts a streak of violet across the sky. And in its wake, bits of black can be seen in the air behind it. It made a sort of speckled purple trail as it danced to the north.
But like most things with a shiny facade...this was not what it seemed. The fishes were the first to notice, the once lively waters went deathly still. This was no comet. The purple haze which filled the sky was none other than a graviton leak, as M4X soared over head. And the black specks in his trail...debris. It took all of 2 minutes from the chunks of metal and spar faring titanium to fall into the ocean's surface like metal rain. Until finally a very rather anti-climactic "glunk" was heard.
You see, for the past few hours M4X's Graviton Matrix had been functioning at Maximum capacity, propelling him forward but making him almost a light as air. The reason the generator could continue function was due to another technological marvel. The Nanotech Generator, this small device no bigger than a Rubic's Cube was responsible for producing thousands of tiny nanites a minute....
That generator had just splashed into the ocean. Now the effects were minimum at first. Nanites began gushing out of the machine at super speeds. In an hour there would be enough to make a ball the size of a pea. In a day, a softball, and in a week....well, you get the idea. While in M4X's body systems these nanites were slave to his central processing core his, brain, if you will. Without a direct connection the nanites didnt not know to stop producing, they knew only one command. "Reproduce, and repair." And that is what they would do...to each life form unlucky enough to ingest one of the microscopic critters.
Again the effects would be slow, with just one nanite consumed in an hour the creature would have stomach aches. In several hours, it would be showing signs of extreme fatigue....and in a day, it would be dead. It was then nanites would begin their repair phase, evoling and enhancing the fish. Altering gods design for their own more efficient methods. Not but 1 hour after its time of death the nanites would ressurect it, new and improved. A new breed of Technofish were born. It would take a little over a year to take over entirely, transforming the entire ocean into their "breed". And evolving the waters to their liking. But the food chain would forever be changed.
One could only imagine what and where the M4X droid would go finally land next. And what horrorible tragedy it would bring with it. With the Nanotech Generator gone, the purple hue had faded. The machines actual wieght was returning, and it wouldnt be very long now before it was brought down. But where...::

*A comet flew over her head as her meditation was disrupted and one eye peeked open. It was just in time to catch a glimpse of a huge piece of debris falling from it too. She watched as it "thunked" into the ocean and a bunch of little things started crawling out of it. She knew this couldn't be good*
I want this ship at full speed. Go as fast as you can towards the shore, I don't care what we crash into. Just get me there NOW! I'm going to make you some more crew.
Yes Ma'am!
*And with that he ran off to spread the word. Meanwhile, Akilan placed her hands together in a praying position and closed her eyes. She stood with her feet together, perfectly vertical then slowly seperated her hands until they were each placed even with her shoulders. Straighting her arms to straight out infront of her, a purple and blue ring could be seen between her hands. After one minute, the ring seperated quickly into two rings, one going up and one going down. As the rings move in their directions, a wooden crew member is formed. Once the rings are finished forming the man, he steps out and starts his tasks right away. Every minute, a new set of rings form a new crew member from Akilan's outstretched hands. Twenty crew members later, the boat is moving 5 times as fast. She really did not want to have to deal with whatever effects that debris was going to do to the ocean, and she really did not want to stick around to find out*

Naveah used her long majestic blue tail to propel herself off the rock. Her form took flight in the air for a few seconds and she landed gracefully back into the water. She swam about the sea watching, waiting for some type of amusement. Fishes nearby swam about her and she caressed them with her slender hands. Her cerulean eyes twinkled and the pearls glowed eeriely in the light. Suddenly she saw a ship appear up ahead, Naveah made her way quickly to the ship and suddenly saw the comet fly above and thunk into the ocean. She felt her heart beat faster and wondered what was going on...these waters were usually so peaceful.
She made her movements quicker and made it to the ships edge, her eyes widened as she saw a woman creating men...Her glistening skin shook with fright and she look behind her and saw a maching protruding out of the ocean began some type of process. A feeling of dread washed over her.
Nowhere to hide...nowhere to run..

*Akilan stood at the front of the boat once more, eyes closed, hands together. Suddenly her eyes shot open and they glowed with a blue swirl in them. She shoved her hands in front of her, palms facing the open waters infront of the boat. Instantly rings shot out of her open hands, under the boat, and into the water. Instead of the water controling itself, now her rings, or rather Akilan, controlled the water under her boat within the rings. Her boat seemed to fly though the water now. The wooden crew did not even bother to row anymore, soon they would not exist anymore since all of her magical energy was being focused on the water rings*
[About two and a half hours later]
*The nanites had already eaten most of her boat, and all of her crew had been disspelled. All that was left was the last fourth of the front of the boat that she was standing on. The boat hit the shore miles outside the famous Leviathan Stadium. As the remaining pieces of wood came to a sudden halt, Akilan flew up onto the shore and hit face first in the sand. She sat up while blinking the blue swirls out of her eyes*
That was one crazy ride

Akilan [About two and a half hours later] *The nanites had already eaten most of her boat, and all of her crew had been disspelled. All that was left was the last fourth of the front of the boat that she was standing on. The boat hit the shore miles outside the famous Leviathan Stadium. As the remaining pieces of wood came to a sudden halt, Akilan flew up onto the shore and hit face first in the sand. She sat up while blinking the blue swirls out of her eyes* That was one crazy ride::There was silence, the beach was as quiet as death. The sort of quiet you hear in the final moments after you've slain you enemy. Likely right now Akilan would be hearing her own heart beat, her lungs breathing in and out, this was natural. She had, by luck and skill, escaped uninfected by the nanotech threat...the beach was not so lucky. Beach? What is this beach? Sand? What is this sand? Tiny particles of dirt laying still, with no function whatsoever. But they were more. On the subatomic level they were made of tiny gatherings of minerals, sand is afterall itsy bitsy pieces of rock. And what is rock, when smelted, fused together and then cooled? Metal. In the sand the nanites found a useful tool, fuel, and stuff they themselves were made of. Processing began immediately. Akilan's boat had been a wonderful ride, to the shore. But this shore...this was inferior in many ways. The first thing Akilan might notice is the slight rumbling. This would last for the greater part 4 seconds before the sands themselves, at the water line, began to shift. They were sifting as if they were passing through some sort of metal grating, and that metal grating was rising up from under neath them. And infact something was rising from the sands but it was far from a grating. Suddenly, and without the slightest warning, the beach seemed to erupt. From the water line plates of metal literally flipped out of the sand and fell back upon it like the scales of a snake, each perfectly fit, replacing the once sandy beach and replacing it with a metallic wave of scales which now spaning 3ft of width...which now moved directly at Akilan. Indeed it had, but it just might not be over. If the nanites were allowed to reach farther up shore who knows what damage could be done. If they multiplied much farther what would stop them from taking over the nearest city! Or the world!::

*Just as she had finished her sentance, the beach started rumbling. Something was happening. Not again. No more. She had had enough. She quickly glanced around and found that whatever had been in the water and eating her boat, had now started to change the sand. Now, it was starting to chase after her. She had to get off the beach, and she had to get off now. If she could get to the stadium, maybe she would be ok... But would they come after her there. She had to think fast*
*Slaming her hands together, and throwing them opening again, her eyes once again glowed bluw with swirls. Rings flew into the ocean, and created a wave that washed over the entire length of the beach that the nanites had taken over, washing them back into the ocean. The parts of the beach that they remade would stay metal of course, but at least they would be back in the ocean. Hopefully they would stay there and away from the beach, or at least it would slow them down*
*Akilan blinked the swirls out of her eyes once more. She was tired as her powers were very drained. She was lucky she had enough in her for that last spell. Turning around, she walked off in the direction of the Stadium, hoping to be there in a few hours or so, or maybe rest on the way*

The sea seemed peaceful and still as it seemed to rest till the next batch of explorers decided to head out. The sea began to ripple and move as a large ship glided upon it's surface like a figure skater. It was infact The Mad Killer, captained by the young rabbit Madison. The crimson sails seemed to guide them to their own path.
Upon the ship, Madison seemed rather exicted as she began to ran about on the ship trying to get the ocean closer. She had never seen something so beautiful, so precious. A few of her crew members had a grin on their faces as they watched their captain attempted to get closer to the dark and cold sea. Finally one of her crew mates stood beside her and looked at his captain eagerly, with a dirty sinister grin on his face.
"So Cap'ain, wanna take a closer look?" asked the crew mate as he looked out to the sea afterwards. His comrades knew exactly what he was planning. It was infact quite obvious, well not obvious to most who haven't been out to see a far off land like their destination.
"Oh that would be lovely! It's just so beautiful." Remarked Madi as her snow white ears seemed to bounce about happily. A Grin formed on his face much more sinisterly as he grabbed onto the collar of her coat, just enough to have a good grip, but not hard enough so she could feel it. Madi of course was completely oblivious to what was going on around her, she was too entranced by the ocean's beauty. It was as though it were a blanket of somesorts. Without Warning, the man tossed Madi off of the comfort of her own ship sending her in mid air.
"HERE YOU ARE CAP'AIN!" laughed dread man as she countinued to be flying through the air.
SPLASH!
That was all that was heard. Madi was now within the water that she thought was ever so beautiful, and began to struggle as she moved frantically within the water. She wasn't even sure what to do. She began to scream for assistance but most of the crew mates stood by and laughed, they didn't even bother to help. The rabbit slowly began to sink into the death of the sea do to the weight of her boots and clothing. Her ears fell over her eyes causing her vision to be impaired, she was drowning.
Upon the ship, laughter was let out as she countinued to sink. But it soon ceased as one pirate moved to see what exactly was occuring, it was the first mate, Johnathon Wales. His eyes widened as he soon saw the exact sight, Madi was in the water. He quickly removed his coat and handed it to the closest man beside him. The first mate scampered to find himself some rope to get pulled back in with, luckily he managed to find some. He soon tied it around his waist and handed it to six of his comrades.
"When I give you the signal....Pull." ordered Johnathon fallowed by a sharp look. They quickly nodded as he dived in after the drowning girl. Once within the depths of the sea he began to quest for Madi within the sea. The sight of her red coat beneath the dark sea caught his attention as he began to swim faster towards her.
She was still struggling with eyes dodging everywhere in fright. Madi was freaking, and there was nothing that she could really do to save herself. But once at the sight of Johnathon she grabbed onto his arm frightfully soon fallowed by a pull by his strength.
They finally surfaced and the young rabbit was coughing horribly, water must have got into some of her lungs. She looked rather scared still as she clinged onto Johnathon as though she was an infant being held by their parent. The First Mate soon whistled at the ship, causing the rope that he was attached too to move. Shortly, they were both on the ship and both on the deck.
The crew members soon began to back away from the both of them. This was not going to be good. Slowly, Johnathon stood to his feet and looked amongst the crew as Madison countinued to cough to get the water out of her system. He was not pleased, not at all.
"WHO'S DOING WAS THIS!?!" screamed Mr. Wales with every closer step he made to them. They all seemed now frightful, Who was going to take the blame. But shortly the silence would be broken, broken to reveal the identity.
"It-It Was Smith!" replied a man with a patched up eye. Sharply, Johnathon's head snapped towards the spoken pirate. Smith now seemed to have faced death in the eyes, this caused his legs to shake as Johnathon marched up to him and invaded his space. He was frightened and John was pissed. This was infact not a good sight.
"You DARE put our captain in danger!?!"
"Well...Well...You See..."
"EXCUSES!" screamed Johnathon as he smacked the trembling man across the face. Smith soon fell to the ground as he wasn't expecting that hit. Johnathon eyed him as Smith looked up at the lad, they both were not in a pleasent mood.
"Get Out of My sight...All of you" Stated Johnathon causing them all to scamper. He soon turned back around to his trembling captain. She could hardly keep still, Madi was infact petrified. He soon bent down to her level and grabbed his coat, wrapping it around her body.
"It...It...Happened so fast..."
"Come on...Let's get you out of those wet clothes...And move on from this..."
Madi soon attempted to move, but she couldn't. She was too afraid too. With a sympathetic smile he bent down and picked up and began to carry her. Madi didn't speak a word or fight. She infact curled into a ball in his arms as he countinued to carry her. And so carrying her off into her quarters, to calm her down from the event that had occured.

Gossip filled the bellows of the ship The Mad Killer, rumours of the event that Smith created. Their young captain was unable to swim, this could come to their advantage but also a disadvantage. On one hand they could easily push her out off the boat and watch her drowned with much cheer. But then there was also the minor details of the first mate, Johnathon Wales. He would protect her until they arrived. They had to find a way to reclaim their beloved ships from the clutches of this young girl. *~*~* She couldn't move. She could barely breathe. Quietly she laid there, still and unmoving. Her fragile body shook violently as she was placed on the grand bed of a captain, soaking wet. Her snow white rabbit ears covered the girl's face so she could possibly no longer see. This was Madison, the new captain of The Mad Killer who was currently fearing for her life. Her chin length scarlet hair shimmered in the sunlight that seeped through her window calmly. Slowly, she could hear footsteps marching about her quarters looking for clothing. Nice, warm, dry clothing. This fellow was infact the first mate that was possibly one of the most feared on the ship, Johnathon. His violently blue eyes scanned the large oak cabinet-like unit, he soon grinned at the discovery he made. "AHA! Found something lovely for you to wear Captain!" announced Johnathon as he pulled the outfit out of the closet. It was a elegant gown of sorts, something as though a young woman would have worn many years back. The long sleeves seemed to be made of a black velvet material as the body of the dress was a crimson red silk. It had to be absolutely gorgeous. And yet, when the young captain looked up to view it she didn't seem very thrilled. "Whatever." Replied the young captain as she returned to her ball sadly, this however made the secound mate very concerned. Quietly, he returned over to the young rabbit's side and lifted her head up a bit. "Something the matter, love?""Unless you call being called mocked at alright, Nothing!" sharply answered Madi with a trembling voice. Shortly sobs could be heard from the depths of the small curled up rabbit. The look of pity filled Mr. Wales face as he soon moved her closely to him for a warm embracement. "It's alright captain, they were only teasing. Really They were...""I'm a horrible captain! I can't take command of my ship! I can't swim to save my own life let alone another! I'm pathetic!" "CODSWALLOP! I have known of some pretty pathetic captains, and you Miss are not one of them. Ever heard of Keel-Haulin' Dolores Dagger? Or Cap'n Argus Sharkchum? How about Trendy Javier Drake?" questioned Johnathon as the young rabbit looked up at him. She slowly shook her head as she removed her glasses from her face to allow her pale hands to wipe away the fallen tears she had suffered. She giggled a few times at the different names knowing that he was getting somewhere. "Exactly, they didn't even survive long enough to last somesort of record. For instance; High-Pitched Faith didn't even made it out of the port because she was so paranoid that Davie Jones was going to slip out of his grave and gobble her up! Now so far I say you are doing a bloody good job of being a captain, now get changed and come face the crew." Smiled Johnathon as he soon placed the crimson gone beside his captain. Madison smiled brightly as she watched her secound mate head to the door, before he was about to leave the young rabbit quickly scampered up to him inches away from his own face. Within secounds she met his lips and then pulled away smiling. He seemed rather clueless on what just happened and looked around in a daze. "That was a Thank you gift...From Me..." blushed Madison sheepishly, as she seemed completely unaware of her emotions. She had never experienced anything like this before. Johnathon soon quietly left the young girl alone, with a small blush in his face but also a sinister looking grin on his flace, something was brewing in his mind...something not so pleasent.

The seas were calm so far. Water tampering here and there. Waves crashing against the rocky shore that appears to be the enterance of a cave. Zooming into the cave placed a great 9 stories above the crashing shore, there is a flicker of light that comes from a certain flame lit. "OW!"came a cry as the flame went out. There was a snapping sound and then the light came on, exposing Julio's face in view. Julio held his thumb up, careful not to let his made fire singe his thumb on accident again this time. His search is random, to find the fabled treasure everyone talked about these days back at the ruins of the stadium.
((I would like a person to person match here. Person to person combat till one calls quits or gives up. Weapons are allowed but I wish for no death to come to my character or anyone elses. Secondary goal is to find the said lost treasure first or beat the opponent who finds it.))

either it was haunted indeed or he just went in a circle and ended up back where he started. "Hmm..guess it's unreachable."His wings span out as he thinks this. Then, with one jump and dive, he plummits down till he comes back up, soaring to head to somewhere else to enjoy his time.

Naveah swims out of the underwater cave and sighs gently. happy to have escaped the last horror that presented itself at sea. Her long majestic blue tail propelled her through the calm waters and she decided to explore the shore above. Her hair floated about her and the pearls in them glowed dully. She gripped the string of pearls about her body as she continued onward. Suddenly she made it to the surface just as she saw a wingged man dive into the waters. She raised a brow slightly and decided to investigate.
((im interested.))

((Hmm...gabystar with me and vincent, ryugi, akira, find a third for your party if you wish.))
Julio stood over at the cliff edge waiting for vincent and Gaby to make their way here. He stands there, tapping his foot on the rock cliff and looking up. "Wonder if they'll show up."He thought. Carbie hops on his shoulder from his back and smiles. He smiles at his pet cabit carbunkle and pats her head.
