Oceanian Wars - Part 2

As time passed, Martha and Marine D's bond had grown exponentially over the years. Marine D had always looked out for Martha and her father, Captain Jack, protecting them. At one point, when Captain Jack fell seriously ill, beyond the reach of any surface dweller cure, Marine D managed to heal him with the help of his friends Mami and Walter.

Martha and Marine D were well-acquainted, and she knew the truth about Marine D's heritage. Sometimes, Martha would explore the seas with Marine D, who would temporarily grant her the ability to breathe underwater and in space. They would fly together, exploring the world's wonders and even venturing to the nine planets within their universe.

During their days of getting to know each other, Martha asked Marine D a curious question to clear her doubts about mermaids, other deep-sea creatures, and his abilities. "I never noticed you could communicate with land creatures as well; I thought it was only aquatic creatures," said Martha to Marine D. "Well, communicating with land creatures is a rarity for oceanians, but I guess I lucked out," replied Marine D. He also showed her some beautiful magic.

"Are mermaids real, like Ariel from 'The Little Mermaid'?" Martha asked. "Mermaids are real, but I don't know who Ariel is. If she's a mermaid, she's probably part of the oceanians," Marine D replied.

"What about sirens?" Martha inquired. "According to Greek mythology, they're half human, half bird. Some mistake them for mermaids, but they're portrayed as evil, luring sailors to their deaths. There's even a TV series called 'Siren' (2018) about mermaids causing mysterious deaths and disappearances in a coastal town. The main mermaid character, Ryn Fisher, is strong and determined to protect her kind. Have you heard of it? Sorry if I'm asking too much," she added.

Marine D smiled with a chuckle before replying. He informed her that sirens were real and existed in the Oceanian kingdom. He had read a book about their history, a war that had occurred long ago, before his father, the king, met his mother. This war had separated most oceanians apart, and they were never heard from again. He believed that sirens came in two different species, one being half human, half bird, and the other resembling mermaids. Both kinds possessed the ability to lure sailors to their deaths. Marine D assured Martha that sirens and mermaids in his kingdom were nonviolent creatures.

Meanwhile, El Mar, who had made a deal with Mayor Lyrecius, began executing their plans against both worlds. The dark oceanians would lure sailors to their deaths, attacking anything that crossed the sea, be it on water or in the air.

Mayor Lyrecius also had an appointment with the president and strongly convinced him after learning about the president's concealment of the Oceanian existence. Mayor Lyrecius gained the president's approval, making him see oceanians as enemies and threats to citizens. He showed the president footage evidence of oceanians sinking ships and attacking sailors and anything that ventured on the sea or above it. However, the president remained unaware that Mayor Lyrecius was working with the dark oceanians, causing terror against both surface dwellers and oceanians. As the dark Oceanian plans took shape, events were set in motion.

In the heart of the ocean's depths, King Marine and Marine D shared a rare father-son moment, surrounded by the soothing embrace of the underwater world. Suddenly, the tranquility was shattered as an aircraft unleashed a monstrous nuclear bomb, its detonation sending shockwaves racing through the water, disturbing the serene realm they called home.

The explosive force of the blast created an unstoppable pressure wave, an invisible force that pushed aside everything in its path, turning the once-calm surroundings into a chaotic frenzy. The aquatic beings found themselves helplessly caught in this tumultuous current, their world upended by the violent forces of destruction.

The deafening roar of the explosion echoed through the water, a painful vibration that reverberated through the bodies of marine life. The creatures' sensitive senses were overwhelmed, leaving them in agony as the dissonance rattled their very core.

As the water grew murky and opaque, sediment and debris kicked up by the explosion clouded the previously clear liquid expanse. Visibility was reduced to a mere blur, and the familiar surroundings became foreign and unsettling.

Amidst the chaos, the explosion's luminous light was bent and refracted by the water's embrace, creating an eerie dance of shadows and strange visual effects. The once-pristine rays of light now twisted and distorted, casting an otherworldly glow that painted the scene in surreal hues.

In the aftermath of this catastrophic event, the underwater world found itself forever altered. King Marine and Marine D clung to one another amidst the turbulence, their bond a beacon of hope in the face of the unforeseen devastation that had befallen their home beneath the waves.

Fortunately, King Marine was able to push his son aside, thus preventing his son from being damaged by the explosion as he was protected by his father's magic.

"Dad!!!...", Marine D yelled.

After the great disruption, King Marine was barely affected as he, too, was able to protect himself with his magic. Marine D found the logo on the bomb which had surface dweller markings that King Marine was familiar with. Luckily, their kingdom was unharmed by the explosion as it was always strongly fortified.

Returning to their kingdom, King Marine and Queen Tiffany summoned the council of Oceanians to discuss the matter wisely before taking actions, as investigations needed to be carried out for concrete proof.

During their council meeting, ideas and thoughts were brought into consideration. Some suggested that it might be the work of the dark Oceanians trying to overthrow the king, as they hadn't been heard from for a long time after the incident, suggesting they were waiting to execute their plans. Others proposed that it might be an internal power struggle, with primitive humans trying to gain power over each other, or even humans attempting to wage war on the Oceanians.

After the council meeting of the Oceanians, tasks were assigned to everyone, and inside the kingdom, King Marine began to ponder whether his past was coming back to haunt him.

On the other side, El Mar, the leader of the rebellious dark Oceanians, finally fulfilled her promise to Mayor Lyrecius and granted him his heart's desires, something he needed to conquer the ultra family.

"Now that you have what it takes to destroy your enemies," said El Mar. "There's still one thing you have to do for me."

Meanwhile, their conversation was overheard by the Hacker, who was stunned by Mayor Lyrecius's evil plot. The Hacker, having secretly obtained this information, attempted to reach out to her friend Sophie and the ultra family but was unsuccessful. She then informed her brother, Tekno Boy, about Mayor Lyrecius's evil plan.

"We can't let this happen, brother. This isn't what we signed up for," said the Hacker to Tekno Boy.

Tekno Boy felt conflicted but couldn't interfere against Mayor Lyrecius's plan, as they were indebted to him. They brainstormed a way out and tried to contact the unreachable ultra family.

"It seems it's up to us to redeem ourselves, brother, to save lives. We made a promise no matter what happens. I made a promise to my bestie Sophie, as well as we did to all of the ultra family," said the Hacker, handing a unique and special chip to her brother, Tekno Boy, as a present. She made her brother promise not to open it until the time was right. The Hacker spoke to her brother with touching, heartfelt words, as if she had glimpsed her own fate. Tekno Boy, unaware of the full situation, wondered why his sister was reacting this way. The Hacker smiled warmly at her brother and assured him that everything would be okay, as it was now up to them to save their world.

Meanwhile, in the dark Oceanian kingdom, El Mar and her minions prepared for battle against the Oceanians. She had readied legions of dark Oceanians to wage war against both worlds.

"Ita-la-lo pota, kunta lapa," said El Mar, which translates to "Children of the sea, you're all welcome."

"Tukutuku bam bala eomatan," said El Mar, which translates to "We are the chosen generation of the sea."

"Ofutanga Ketepanga octakala," said El Mar, which translates to "The ocean will never cease to exist even when all is lost."

"Kutu opampah zutu lu uru o maz habazee, yake Zulu yake Roku panga tanka. Mi bu ya ocfu tukta manlaa paa:, di: aato buku ho dobum baaye, etre aa etumba, atre aa: buumba. Fukub fombuga okantela yaa, yamete beia bi sei futagba teso chkio efsu eaid, eklo cugok asfo vumok liohav livac okopante ejae mown dea: kitipa majivadu, popo kutu ruz bu gan ranba, eeifu dudom amen yanes, ra ba eba fufu yamaha... Tebae tei vaku umbavi okantela ofutanga," translates to "It is time to remove the outcasts among us, those who have defied the sacred traditions of the Oceanian kingdom. For so long, we have hidden in the shadows, while they have enjoyed our inheritance. But this ends now, today. We shall unleash the wrath of the seven seas, and together, my brothers and sisters, our gods will be pleased with our work... Together, we will reveal to them the true power of the ocean."

El Mar displayed bravery, assurance, and great authority, inspiring her rebellious Oceanian armies for battle. Some time later, she presented herself to the Oceanian kingdom when guards spotted her and raised the alarm. Seeking an audience with the king, El Mar's actions caught the attention of the royal family. Outside the fortified kingdom, she delivered a threatening message, vowing revenge and chaos. King Marine asked her what she had done, and El Mar replied that she was taking what was rightfully theirs. She retreated into the shadows, proclaiming the start of the Oceanian wars. Rebellious armies, creatures, and Lyrecius corp androids with xentorium cores united to break the kingdom's barrier.

Amid the ongoing crisis, the Oceanian kingdom prepared for battle, but El Mar's powerful magic demolished their magical barriers. A war raged in the sea and on the surface. King Marine, queen, Marine D, and others defended their kingdom. Marine D confronted El Mar, who taunted him and revealed her evil intentions. El Mar also exposed Marine D's secret affair with a surface dweller, leading Marine D to protect his loved ones on the surface.

Above, rebellious Oceanians attacked, and the city's forces, as well as heroes like Tekno Boy and the Hacker, defended against the threat. Marine D battled dark Oceanians at Martha's home, with help from friends Mami and Walter. They saved Martha and her father. Marine D assured Martha he'd return, then shielded them with magic before rejoining the ocean battle.

In the ocean, El Mar and her dark Oceanian forces battled against the kingdom's defenders, including King Marine, Queen Tiffany, and the royal guards. King Marine countered El Mar's magic, leading to an intense battle between the two.

It was a battle of wits and magic. El Mar employed her chaos magic against King Marine, who countered with his blood magic. El Mar then resorted to using dark magic against King Marine, who countered it with white magic. They valiantly fought, using every resource at their disposal. King Marine even attempted to persuade El Mar to change her ways, reasoning that she was on the wrong path. Their fierce battle in the ocean reverberated on the surface. Back and forth they fought, and King Marine managed to use his Oceanian trident to subdue El Mar, compelling her with mercy after their intense struggle.

"You always have a home here, El Mar. The dark gods are not what you think," said King Marine in a reasonable yet lonely tone. "You can end this war peacefully; it has nothing to do with the surface dwellers."

"Yes, it does. It's relevant to both worlds. You were once a fearless, heartless king who ruled your people, ensuring total domination. But now you're weak, having a heart for a surface dweller, defying the Oceanian sacred law. Our gods are more powerful than yours. Your gods are blinded by their actions and made a wrong choice by making you king over us, over the ocean," replied El Mar, exploiting the king's vulnerability by using his trident to brutally injure him. "And now, you'll pay for your pathetic gods."

Marine and his friends, along with Queen Tiffany, witnessed this scene. Seeing his defeated and injured father lying at the sea's bottom, Marine went to his father's body. Though his father could barely move or speak, he managed to convey his last words to his son before passing away.

King Marine's final words of wisdom and truth to his son before his death were as follows:

"Before we became the Oceanians, it all started sixty-four years ago when an asteroid fell to Earth into the ocean's depths and transformed our people. It granted us a gift, as if the ocean had been watching over us and chose us. We were once a collective of people from different races, shunned by society for our appearance and unique ways. Then, we were drawn into the ocean. The ocean changed our lives and gave them meaning. However, what we believed to be a mere asteroid was more than that. It was the presence of extraterrestrial beings from another dimension, a whole different multiverse, and realm. They were both interdimensional and extra-dimensional beings who arrived in our world, opening our eyes and revealing the truth to us. They were more powerful than us, becoming Lords over us. They anointed me as the king over my people. Over time, even the gods succumbed to warring among themselves for absolute power and control. They fought and became divided, leading many of our people to become the dark Oceanians, known by various names such as the accursed ones, the fallen, and more. This also marked the time when our gods, together with their gods, started to fight."

"The dark Oceanians are a ruthless race with dark powers, aiming to overthrow our people using their magic and technology. They desire nothing but the complete destruction of all life. Witnessing this, our Oceanian gods unveiled to us a more potent energy source that could rival the dark Oceanians. This energy source was utilized to create and enhance our technologies, particularly our tridents, including the royal tridents. These tridents were blessed with unfathomable powers, crafted using a core fragment of one hundred percent xentorium and one percent xentorium core energy. This power was instrumental in driving the dark Oceanians out of our kingdom, safeguarding our people. Even the gods proved vulnerable to this unfathomable power."

(Reference: Chapter 4 - "Strange Visitors")

Although your mother and I had made mistakes in the past, blinded by our own rage and self-centeredness, everything changed the moment we had you. You can do better, my son. You can unite both worlds, just as foretold by the gods. You're the hope and salvation of the human race, not just an Oceanian king or a god. You're both, and there's none like you — the Marine Demon, the Oceanian godking.

From that moment on, as the dying father, husband, and former king of the Oceanian, whose name was Marine, passed down his wisdom to his heir, he became fully knowledgeable about the entire truth. The kingdoms of every ocean and the rest of the world now rested on his shoulders.

Filled with rage, Marine rushed to attack El Mar, who wielded the king's trident, in an epic battle. El Mar used the trident against Marine, piercing his chest. She swam swiftly, bursting out of the water, and commanded lightning to strike down upon Marine. Marine died, his body sinking into the depths of the ocean beside his father. El Mar, with the king's trident, summoned a great flood upon the surface dwellers, wreaking havoc that not even Tekno Boy and the Hacker could withstand.

"Behold, surface dwellers, kneel and bow down to your Queen," El Mar said with a deep, horrifying, demonic voice that shook the surroundings.

No one could withstand El Mar's might and her dark Oceanians. While all this was happening, Queen Tiffany, having witnessed the death of her husband and son, allowed the darkness within her to consume her entirely as she chanted the words: "I summon the ancestral powers of the marine dimension... Marine spirit." With a furious shout, she vanquished every dark Oceanian in the depth of the ocean with a powerful blast, shaking the entire ocean tremendously.

El Mar, feeling Queen Tiffany's dark powers, realized that she had given herself up to the dark side and was ready to battle again. "I knew you'd tap into it, your majesty, the dark powers of the rebelled gods," said El Mar. "But you're not the only one with the blood of the old gods. I too am a goddess of war, an emissary of our dark Oceanian gods," she added while laughing maniacally.

"May the best gods win," said El Mar, staring at the tower clock striking 3am as she transformed into the embodiment of pure evil. Queen Tiffany and El Mar battled intensely during the witching hour, countering each other with their most powerful spells, magic, and technology. Both were completely bloodlusted, their eyes black like possessed beings, their voices deepened, and every power displayed shook the world.

Meanwhile, in the ocean, Rzeka and Pijalnia held onto their king's body and his heir, Marine D, laying them on the shrine of their gods. "I can't believe Marine D is gone," said Mami, with a sad tone. "This isn't real, no no no! It's all a nightmare. Our friend Marine D isn't dead," said Walter in anger and disbelief.

"Pijalnia ja tubuju ban kta tabkan uuta melani ochva da bishi inama evatongo, kitivo umo mu mivuzanto," said Pijalnia, which translates to "The Queen has allowed the darkness to consume her. I hope she finds redemption before it's too late."

During this sad moment, as the bodies were left in the shrine, somewhere in the astral Oceanian marine plane, Marine and Marine D came face to face with their marine gods. They beheld the massive astral avatar of their marine gods, a form with a thousand hands each possessing a single eye, and three faces symbolizing the past, present, and future. The Oceanian gods looked down upon them with pity, knowing the time had not yet come for one of them to depart from this world. Meanwhile, in the astral plane, they could see Queen Tiffany battling El Mar.

King Marine turned to his son without a word, and as they locked eyes, he hugged his son, sending him back into the real world. When Marine D was resurrected, a tremendous shockwave was felt throughout the ocean. Everyone and every creature of the land and sea felt the presence of Marine D's resurrection. Mami, Walter, Rzeka, Pijalnia, and the entire Oceanian kingdom were stunned to see the godly transformation of Marine D.

His appearance was beyond mystical, like something reborn from another world. His eyes sparkled with the powers of their Oceanian gods; his looks and appearance were almost indescribable. It was truly beyond any mystical being anyone had encountered. He then took off to challenge El Mar at blinding speed.

Meanwhile, in battle with Queen Tiffany, El Mar managed to fuse with her, becoming one being of immense pure evil. Marine D sensed that El Mar had fused with his mother. "Now there's no holding back, Marine D," El Mar said with a deep, horrifying voice. "The price has been paid. You can't kill me without killing your beloved mother. Now I see it. You were the chosen one. You have been blessed with the powers of your gods, just as I have been blessed with the powers of my gods. I'll reshape this universe to my liking and bring about entropic doom."

"Not while I'm alive again," replied Marine D.
