New recruit

—MIA— 

Captain started the meeting. He didn't really tell me anything about what we were going to discuss but I had a vague Idea. Barely anyone tells me anything saying "I'm young" and that I shouldn't worry about it. Which I think is a big excuse and they know how capable I am. 16 is a big age! As the captain was setting up the projection I saw my brother across the room with klein. They seemed to be glancing at Nereus, I mean who could miss that teal head of his. And his gold eyes were practically shining! 

"Let's get started" Caster announced, "So you all know about the big catastrophe that happened last year" Caster said "Who wouldn't, it was pretty hard to miss" Klein blurted out, why does he have to open that mouth of his dammit. Thinking back on that day it was around A year and half ago when there was the first sighting of those creatures. I was home with my brother Viny and my father. We lived near the ocean in a beach house, Me and Viny lived there for almost all of our childhood. One day we were playing near the beach when a huge tsunami started to form. It was out of nowhere too even my father was surprised and he was a meteorologist we all headed toward higher ground. Luckily we noticed fast enough but that wasn't even the biggest part. After the tsunami went by, hundreds of blood driven sea creatures started to come out of the sea. Lots of people died that day including my father….

 My brother and I were separated from him amidst the chaos and he was gone by the time we came back. After that unfortunate event we heard all sorts of natural disasters and creatures were happening all over the world. Canada was struck by a huge hurricane and flooded half of its land is under water now. There were several states that were outnumbered and millions of people died. Some of these sea animals could breathe on land but other not so lucky 

Researchers later found out that these so-called "creatures" were the same ones we've known but just on a larger scale. Your average fish is now the size of a Sea lion! Which is crazy to think..

Scientists and researchers haven't found out the cause of these growing sea animals but they have an idea of how these creatures were causing a stir on the unnatural disasters, the bigger these animals are getting the larger scale of these disasters. 

The Sea animals were causing so much ruckus and disasters that most people needed to relocate and started moving on these massive ships that were recently built (that were currently on), They could withstand the impact of 3 large whales! Making this ship pretty sturdy if I do say so myself anyways 

Later the new growth and power of these animals including their recent blood motives they were categorized into levels from 1-7 1 being not that dangerous while 7 being country disappearance level 

Glancing up at the screen the captain was showing the categorizes and briefly talking about it 

1- being your "average" if you could even call them average anymore fishes! (they were also noted to be the biggest growing species in this new era) they are pretty harmless and a good food source! 

2-Echinoderms! These creatures are also pretty harmless and there are plenty of them (if you get too close they could strangle you to death) 

Including (starfish, brittles stars, sea cucumbers )

3-Cnidaria! They're very pretty.. Except for the fact they can severely poison you and can lead you to your death! (never touch one of these) (jellyfish,coral, sea anemones)

4-Mollusks these creatures are pretty mindless but they are very strong and capable overpowering any tank (snails, squads, octopus, mussels ) 

5-Reptiles! They Are pretty smart and feast on the lower ranking creatures, They can kill any elephant within seconds… 

6-Komodo Dragons, Blue-ringed Octopus, Australian box jellyfish, Dubois' sea snake. These animals are extremely dangerous and can't be shot or sliced with your average knife or weapons. They're really smart and can breathe on land so when it comes to baiting humans and ships they're on their game. 

7-Mammals, including the great white sharks, blue whales, polar bears, dolphin, these creatures can't even be bombed due to their large exteriors they can destroy countries within minutes. Your average shark is now 3x bigger (they are the result of hat happened to Canada and Cali) 

"hmh…Mia are you listening?" The new guy said practically nudging my arm like a toddler asking his mom for candy 

"Ofc I am! Do you think I'm like you? Sunshine" redirecting my gaze at the captain and the screen. It seemed like he was showing a map of where we are 

"Sheesh I was just trying to ask you some questions" Nereus said looking quite hurt at my remark "Where are we headed? The captain never mentioned" he added 

"Asia" 

"What part exactly? And why are we going to asia" Nereus kept blabbing about all sorts of questions, Tuning him out the captain started to finish up the meeting 

"Well continue this later on we need to start setting sail soon" he quickly announced before turning off the projector 

The ship was anchored for the past two days and we were a little behind schedule there have been some recent spotting on Level 5 monsters and were told to halt for now

This was also due to the fact their were massive storms approaching our way and those two calamities didn't sound like a fun together 

I saw my brother across the room and told Nereus to follow. He reluctantly got up and mumbled something about people not treating him right. It was quite funny to tease him

"Viny this is Nereus, Show him to the laboratory and control room he's been bugging me to show him around for a while." 

Nereus glared at me while introducing himself to Viny, 'I think they would get along just fine'. Interrupting my thought Klein grabbed my shoulder. "Yo Mia, who's the new kid?" 

"Didn't I tell you to stop leaning on my shoulder??" I swept his arm away 

"My bad, Answer my question though" he replied 

"If you're so intrigued, go figure it out yourself!" I hastily got out of the meeting leaving Nereus with Viny. He would be fine.
