They both clash multiple times, never really overpowering the other. They fly around the arena, smashing through floating islands and such.

Their fists keep clashing, propelling shockwaves across the sky.

A figure can be seen in the Mystic Ruins, just wandering about.

Near the mystic ruins, a pair of what initially seem like human boys are wandering around, one in his mid-teens it seems one of them in his pre-teens seemingly brothers. Both dressed in just casual hoodies and similar, casually talking.


Meanwhile on the chopper...
The young boy still seems scared as he looks at Evan. None of the drones having found someone matching his description even after searching. He had stopped crying now though.

What looks to be a small, unmanned noncombat drone is flying around the outskirts of Station Square/Mystic Ruins when it spots well, somebody around the Mystic Ruins.


(Oh gosh that was rough. What the HECK was happening in the air?)

Somewhere in a helicopter, Evan notices the person via his drone, and notes down while patting the boy.

(He looks relatively norma- Those ears...)

"Looks like we've found somebody... although he's not your dad."


The drone flies towards the three figures to investigate.

The figure, meanwhile, is a man with vivid orange hair, who is wearing a white shirt with a few patterns of orange and black here and there, and orange pants matching his hair colour.

He doesn't notice the two brothers yet, since a lake has caught his eye. A few moments later, he's dashing down towards it, and he dives in.

The two boys also spot the lake and look back and fourth, chatting some more and smiling.The younger one smiling a little and nodding, the bigger one wrapping a arm around him for a moment and rubbing his head before they both sprint towards the lake, not spotting the drones either.


"Not more bad people is it?" The young child asks, worried.

The drone flies closer right as the man goes for a swim, and it notices the two boys.

It waits at a distance from the water's edge, waiting for the man to return.


Evan sighs, still in the helicopter.

(Shit. He went for a swim already? Was wanting to just greet him.)

"Huh, there's two boys around too."

Evan smiles warmly.

"None of these here look like bad people. Didn't see any weapons or anything on any of them."

He then asks curiously.

"Why... why were there bad people after you?"

Several minutes pass.

Then, the head of the man pops out... and he looks a bit different. Were those orange appendages on top of his head present before?

Then, soon enough, his wing fins unfurl, and he raises his tail for a moment.

"Oh, hey there, you all!" he greets, waving at everyone, even the drone.

The pair of boys by the shore side see the figure pop out as they arrive, they both look back and fourth with a amused look.

"Heya, can we swim here?" The younger of the two boys ask, waving back happily.

The older one sounds a lot more mature, not physically but mentally in how he speaks. "Apologies for disturbing, it'd be nice, today's been pretty hot."


"I dunno. They keep coming after me..." He responds, a little distressed by the idea, sinking into his jacket again protectively of himself.

The drone "replies" in shock, as Evan talks into his comms device to greet the rest.

"So hello there! I'm Evan, your friendly neighbourhood one-man air-"

He then notices the man... has changed.

"Oh my gosh, you're a merman!?"


He then turns to the boy, and calmly pats him.

"Gosh... I'll make sure you'll be safe with me until we can find your dad."

"Oh, it's perfectly fine. I'm not someone selfish, you know."

The man chuckles, before motioning for the two boys to join him... and then raising and slapping his fin hard against the water to send some of it flying towards the two, though he's also careful enough to avoid the water being sent to the drone.

He chuckles a little, looking at the drone with a friendly nod.

"Ah, yep, I'm a merman. Are you one of those humans who aren't too aware of our existence?"

The young kid seems pretty scared as Evan goes to pat him, though calms down when he realizes it isn't mean or hostile. "Really? Your keep the bad men away?" He questions, a glimmer of hope in his tone instead of just fear, afterall Evan's create planes from nowhere power was pretty cool.


The two brothers nod quickly, then getting splashed but that just made the older one smirk and the young one laugh a little. "Thank you!" He waves quickly. "I'm gonna go change over here!" The younger one lets out, smiling as he rushes over to a tree and starts to seemingly undress. The older one follows, though it did seem both were actually wearing swim suits under the normal clothes.

In the case of the younger of the two boys a black and green full-body swim suit/wetsuit. The older brother just a pair of dark blue swim trunks, though as the pair undressed some interesting things might be spotted.

The older of the two boys had actually quite a lot of bright blue fish-like scales on the upper parts of his arms, and across his chest and back as well as part of his now exposed legs. Also despite being in his-mid teens he had absolutely no body hair, armpit hair or anything. Also his feet were webbed. Though he did seem to keep some computing device that took up his entire forearm on his wrist.

The younger of the two brothers meanwhile, he didn't seem to possess anything in the way of overtly unusual fishy traits as far as anyone could tell as they hung their slightly wet clothes up on a tree, the younger one did seem to have a little plastic device like a toy or something about the size of his small hand attached onto his swim-suit by a hook.

"Yeah... Merpeople only exist in fairy tales, myth, and legends at where I'm from!" the drone's voice chuckles.

And that's when the drone notices one of the boy's... strange physiology.

"Heya there! Wait a minute, what's happened to you?" it calls out to West.

Ah, Evan, thinking that that's some kinda weird and potentially dangerous condition. Fishmen and Mermen were more understandable, but scales on parts of a normal looking person?


"Yeah. I'll do my best indeed!"

Evan smiles and winks. Thank goodness the distraction and rescue went well. Having to drop bombs would have been a massive last resort back there, because bomb and building shrapnel was deadly and never fun for rescue operations.

The merman tilts his head curiously upon seeing the scales on the older brother's body, as well as the webbed feet.

"Do you have merfolk blood or something?"

He then looks at the younger brother, and, noting that he lacks the unusual traits, just nods, occasionally spreading his wing fins.

Adopted brothers? Hmm, probably...

Then, he looks at the drone, appearing bummed out for a moment.

"Oh, I see... anyway, name's Frinn. Who are you three?"

The young child seemed a little relieved by that, that he wasn't so alone. He wandered over a little in the chopper onto one of the seats properly and climbed up, then up while on the seat and looked out the window to the lake bellow.

"Excuse me Sir. What go on down there?" He questions, now actually ma little more curious though he does hesitate a little nervously looking out the window, though the view actually seemed to be making he smile a little.


West looks over. "What do you mean?" He questioned before realizing what was meant. "Ahh my scales? No, not Merfolk, Haldine. The simple answer is genetics. Cross-species in-virto fertilization with corrective genetic modifications for a more intermediate answers." He responds with a very confident and scientific tone.

"Stop being Dr Wesslan. You said this was a day off where we could enjoy ourselves, just be big-bro West!" The younger brother protests, grabbing hold and starting to drag West towards the water.

The two boys did look pretty similar in many of the non-fishy ways, and hair color, their eyes both also dazzling this aquatic ocean blue. "I'm Jackson, I just like Jack."

"Dr Wesslan Auldwin." Jackson glares up. "Just call me West." West adds post-mortem before both reach the lake and get in.

"Call me Evan! Your friendly neighbourhood one-man Air Force! Just a regular ol' human on this other side of the drone, with the power to make flying machines pop outta thin air!"

Evan winks within his helicopter, still over the city.

As he mentions this, there's the roar of aircraft as five F-22 fighter jets roar across the sky above the ocean, trailing with coloured smoke.

Turning to the boys, he then chuckles as he finally understands what's going on. Well, sorta.

"Ah, so that's why... Gene splicing's a thing at my side, but not this advanced for cross-species stuff."

"Anyway, nice to meet you, Frinn, West, and Jack!"


"There's a group of friendly people down there, kid. Maybe they might have seen your dad?" Evan smiles as he looks behind him, seeing the boy play around the copter.

"Wanna take a look?" he winks and grins.

"Ah, advanced genetic engineering. I guess a cross-species child is normally not possible due to genetic incompatibility?"

Frinn shrugs, looking at Jack and West with amusement.

"Ooh... heh. Nice to meet you both!"

He flashes a smile, before gawking in surprise when Evan makes several jets appear.

"That's a nice ability," he says to the drone, flashing a smile.

"You sure they're not mean?" The young child asks a little frightened still, though he was being kept pretty calm looking out at the view still. "Its pretty up here." He adds, a little distracted as well, less scared.


"Woah you can do what? What's soo cool! I-" Jackson starts to go almost fan-boy on Evan's display before as he's standing chest deep in the lake water, West just pushes him over and into the water fully with a smirk.

West smiles and nods to them both. "Not normally. Unlike most fiction, all species are not compatible. Our fathers, and my own, when I'm working's, lab study in making it better for people." A proud look on his face talking about, his work, despite seemingly like a someone in his mid-teens his confidence and tone sounded like someone who had quite a bit more experience.

Suddenly attack of the younger sibling pulls him deeper in, both to actual swimming depth now. At which point, people might notice small slits on West's neck and across the groves on his back move slightly, wait gills?

Jackson smiles and waves around now his brothers been pulled in deeper, seemingly not minding getting knocked in before. "Nice to meet you all too!"

"Indeed it is! I'm not sure how I got that power to make flying machines appear from nowhere, but it sure is super awesome!"

The roar of jets continues to soften, until it abruptly disappears along with the coloured clouds.


The drone flies over the lake for a closer look... and might notice West's changes.

Meanwhile, Evan's in the helicopter, as he responds to the kid.

"Indeed. This is such a nice view from here."

There's a smile from him again.

"And those guys really are nice people, most definitely! Pretty playful indeed too!"

"Our world isn't fiction, you know. We do have incompatibility with other races and all."

Frinn, noting that the two have dived in, also swims down, before chuckling. Despite being in water, his voice is perfectly clear.

"So... hmm... I actually don't really know what to talk about!"

His head then pokes up from the water, and he looks at the drone.

"Your powers aren't natural, huh? Anyway, gimme a moment."

Then, his head disappears into the water as he begins to swim down towards the bottom of the lake.

A humanoid figure touches down near the shore of the lake. He doesn't approach the people, but watches with marginal interest.

#235173: Feb 13th 2017 at 6:06:08 PM

"Hummmmm.." The boy sounds like he's thinking. "Maybe we can get closer... Only if I hide behind you though! They might be bad people trying trick you."


"Apologies, I didn't mean to imply such. Simply that, many people assume compatibility." He responds apologetically.

Jackson seemed to be swimming casually on his back now watching the clouds. "Those are soo cool!" For a preteen, his swimming form and confidence was excellent, not just as someone who enjoys it but a much higher level.

West meanwhile dives underwater as well and also talks, able to do such. "You asked us a little about stuff. What're you, a 'Merfolk' as you put it?" He questions before seeing them dive deeper, West follows lazilly swimming, well like a fish which well, he partly was.

Jackson swam closer to the drone to wave at it more.

"Nope, they aren't natural! All I know is that it might be related to that weird alien machine that was found in the middle of my country!"

The drone bobs up and down excitedly before the merman submerges. It does notice the newcomer, turning towards him with a "curious" glance.


With a smile, Evan responds.

"Sure! Let's go! My drone and I will make sure you're safe!"

With that, the helicopter slowly descends towards the lake, as the drone flies over to meet it. Oddly, it doesn't seem to be blown away too much by the helicopter wind.

"Heh. By now, people at my side are aware of incompatibility and such, really."

Frinn just watches as West follows, and he spins around while swimming down to the bottom. A gleam of something can be seen underneath the sand and rocks...

"And, yes, I'm one of the merfolk. We're one of the many supernatural races in existence!"

Due to being underwater, he doesn't notice the newcomer.
