David watched Zan drive and pass by all sorts of herds of fish swimming in massive schools, then David noticed from the lights in the distance something massive, for a moment it looked like a massive silhouette of a dark figure swimming lurking in the distance.

Zan mentioned " Lexxi, what are the scanners picking up?"

Lexxi's voice states and a hologram video shows the creature. " It appears to be the whale species of our planet."

David holds his hands together in silence.

In his head David prays.

"Whale god please have pity on me and my friends please protect us from any evil In The oceans please,forgive me and my family for what we have done to your planet, we will fix your oceans and planet so we can live in peace again." David opened his eyes to see Kenny in silent prayer as well.

Zan hit top speed through the waters the craft travelled for hours through vast environments in the ocean,David was far far from his home and everyone and everything David ever knew in his life.

Lexxi voiced

"We are closing in on the island Estimated time of arrival is 10 minutes."

The craft was able to reach top speeds in the depth of the ocean moving faster than any known boat in existence. Kenny enjoyed the whole ride.watching the environment become hilly then nothing but seaweeds, then it cleared to show the hillside steeping upward towards the surface the craft maneuvered and ascended up to the water surface.

The craft reached the hillside and used it's terrain metal treading to roll alongside up the hill to reveal the mountain top which still had an elevation of 300 ft above sea level. The craft wasn't a flying craft so they had to stop the craft.

"Alright who's staying with the ship and Kenny?" Kenny cries " I wanna come too!"

"No! Kenny the climb is way too high and dangerous for even you besides we need someone to watch the ship alright? Now who's gonna stay behind while the rest of us go?" Saara raised her hand " I will." David nods "Alright, let's get going crew, we have a planet to fix." Kenny watches the crew Exit out the craft and make their way with the technology and tools to fix the facility. The mountain side was jagged and sharp hand spilling David's hands were covered with blood making the climb harder. At the top Kol lifted David up safely. Isha the medic turned and sprayed David's hands with a chemical solution and wiped his blood away and all his minor cuts were healed and sealed. The view from the top of the mountain was frightening with the storm sending tidal waves thrashing around. Green and black was the ocean lit up by the blue lightning and windy conditions. Black dark clouds made the night seem even darker.

The facility silhouette was a square structure of a building with a massive dish on the top and tower beside the building. It sat on the top of the mountain side over looking the ocean waters.

Kol entered the building with Zan who was carrying all the tools. Isha and David stayed outside on look out.

" You didn't want to push the button yourself?" David looked at the ocean "Naw I don't want to have anything to do with them." Isha looked curiously at him. "To do with who us?"

"No, my family created these facilities."

Then a loud shot Rang Out and a splash of blue blood flew from Isha's chest sending her to the ground.

"No! Isha!" David reached for her first aid spray.

"Put the can down, and step away from the woman, you don't want to end up with a bullet in you now do yah?"

Isha bleeding out from her mouth bright dark blue blood.

David dropped the can and stood up and turned around to see an young lady pointing a gun in his face, she was surrounded by three bodyguards who were different than her they stood 6ft tall with white scaly skin their tongue slithering in and out of their mouths they were dressed in black outfits very sleek in uniform.

David asked,'' Who are you?"

"We are the dark fleet! My name is Jessica Wilson. We run the facility on this planet. Now Where do you come from?"

David shook his head

"no this can't be, you look nothing like my mother did in the recordings."

"David? Is it really you? If it is and you somehow managed to see old recordings of me In my old body, my Darkos reptilian guards here have very advanced technology to clone and transfer souls inside the fourth dimension that they come from and rule over. Now David, is that you my son?" Jessica lowered the gun.

"Yes it's me? But why?'

Jessica with confusion "my son you survived all these years to become a young man and why What?"

David looked her dead in the eye.

"Why did you guys destroy the planet? And why did you pull the wires from that ship? They all died because of you! And why did you shoot my friend?"

Jessica laughed and looked up as the rain fell from the skies she raised her arms towards the lightning.

"I'm very pleased to hear this news that the Arch never made it. Those assholes wanted to make it to the Galactic 9 civilizations, we are at war with them. We created this planets new way of life by doing so we saved our reptilian friends who are harvesting the food and water for the dimension they come from, where they are forming the most Massive army the Galaxies have ever witnessed, Called The Dark Fleet In exchange we acquired many of their technologies including a new home from their dimension but we made our own way of life here with our technology see behold my power over the seas and Jessica clicked a remote and from the ocean large tentacles rose from the waves including a massive head that roared into the night skies as the thunder surrounded it's silhouette. David notices the tentacles being struck by the blue lightning and having some minor effect.

Jessica looking towards david.

" I control the seas, the weather and now is your choice to join me in the dark fleet reptilian empire and rule over this planet and dimension."

"I will Never Join you!" David looked straight across at Jessica and the growling white reptilians.

"So be it! Figured as much as you bringing this pleiadian to my front door! The Dark Fleet Will Reign supreme across the Universe!"

Jessica raised her remote and pressed a button. "Seize David and his dieing

Pleiadian woman." The reptilians walked towards David. David looked around and saw only rocks. Nothing big enough to fight with. David balled his fists tight and took a fighting stance he learned from Gregory. The reptilians attacked David at the same time David swung at one reptilian and dazed him but the other struck David pretty hard and a dazed

David swung a wild punch back at the reptilian who had just struck him. David Misses and gets his lights knocked out. David falls unconscious.

When David wakes up. David turns his head while on the ground to see the reptilian nod toward Jessica who points at Isha. The reptilians take the pleiadian woman and toss her off the cliff.

David screams. "No!"

David pushes himself back up to his feet in anger and runs and pushes off one of the Reptilians with a forcible kick.

Sending the reptilian falling down into the mouth of the giant ocean tentacled beast. David started to fight with the other two reptilians then David heard Kol, Zan. " For the Galactic federation!"

They lunged at the two reptilians holding David above their heads David kicked one In The face and was dropped to the ground. The wind was knocked out of David.

The reptilians and the pleiadians met in hand to hand combat which looked like nothing David had ever seen before. Jessica raised her gun. David pushed himself up and with a rock in hand and threw it with all his accuracy hitting Jessica in the hand making her drop the gun shooting one of the reptilians in the leg allowing Zan to put the reptilian into a choke hold until Zan ripped the Reptilians head clean off. Sending black dark blood onto the ground. Jessica ran for the gun but David was faster as David leaped to lunge out for the gun. Hitting the ground and grabbing the gun pointing it at Jessica.

"Now my son, you don't want to shoot your mother!"

David stood up not taking the aim of his mother Jessica backing her Toward the cliffs edge.

" You made all the wrong decisions. I made a promise to my family that I would make the right one!" David takes the shot, the bullet passed through Jessica's stomach and she fell backwards off the cliff into the creature's mouth.

David looked away as a tear fell down his face. Kol and Zan subdued and arrested the other Reptilian.

"You are being arrested for the crimes of Planetary Genocide and schemes to wage war against the Galactic federation! also the murder of a Galactic counsel member ISHA!." The reptilian growled.

" The Dark Fleet will Reign supreme!"

Kol hit the reptilian " Save it for the Galactic Court.!"

David walked up to Zan who handed him the holographic device it started up and shows the time frame of the planets regulation of the weather patterns over the years and the planet returning back to normal.

"You guys did it!" Zan Nodded

"We saved your planet! You saved us!"

Zan looks to David you will always be a friend of the alliance for your bravery, wisdom, Courage, respect, humility, truth but most importantly your love. You've proved to the Galactic Council that you're ready to become a member of our alliance and have a seat in our Galactic Council, if you so choose too."

David thought about it long and hard.

" No, I'm fine here, in my home world thank-you for helping me and my people save our planet!" Zan and Kol both Nodded "we will help you back to your research facility." Kol, Zan and David climbed back down the Stoney cliff with the captive lowered to ground first with some of Isha's climbing ropes as they did and noticed the giant creature was now gone and the seas were calming down as the sun was bringing to light up the sky. They found the ship a little more up the hillside so it wasn't such a far climb down for Zan Kol and David with the captive.

Once they climbed back into the ship Zan and Kol broke the sad news to Saara of her friend Isha and Saara cried. Kenny tried to comfort her by hugging the sobbing Saara. Zan placed the captive in holding tied up and piloted the craft back into the ocean from the hillside, backing up into the ocean then heading towards the research facility.

Lexxi over the sound system "you completed your mission congratulations! The planet is set to return back to normal with decreasing water levels over the next 30 years!" David looked at Kenny who was now sitting beside David.

"Kenny we did it, we saved our planet!" Kenny smiles at David.

Zan piloted the craft through the ocean reaching the underwater facility.

Lexxi alerts! " We have commotion going on at the Stilted city. It seems the creature has followed us back to the facility and is now attacking the metal stilted city.

Zan gives the orders " Alright Kol, Saara you two manned the side guns David you control the bottom Gun, Lexxi assist young Kenny here with the top gun, we are gonna execute This monster!"

Everyone followed Zans orders. Everyone made their way to the gun controls.

Zan drives the craft through the waters ascending to the surface. In the distance was the stilted Waters Edge and they could see in the distance the Stilted city being attacked by the creatures' tentacles.

"Kenny, please take control of the gun's holographic controls by placing your hands in the light and pushing forward in a punching motion to fire at your target!" Kenny shot instantly sending energy blasts towards the creature blasting holes into its slimy surface grabbing it's attention the creature started to swim towards the craft very fast. Once it was in range everyone opened fire but Crafts fire power wasn't enough the creature lifted the craft out of the water into the air the guns were firing with everything they got the tentacles ripped open one of the side guns ripping out Kol in the process and throwing him into the mouth swallowing him instantly.the other side was ripped open but saara made her way to Kenny to get him out of the top gun. David fired and fired but the tentacles started to Rip open the bottom Gun compartment David narrowly escaped the gun compartment. Then bombardment came from both the sides of the beast and all the fishing zones boats came Guns blazing sending out explosions all around the creature. Zan looked to the others "Get out now!"

David climbs out the top with Kenny and Saara, they jump into the water down below a small speed boat, sees the escaping crew from a distance, some green flags go up and they take off towards them.

David hit the water and sank deep. David started to swim upward in the ocean from under the surface he could see the ship explode in the creature's hands. The large explosion blows up half the creature's body and head and then it starts to sink into The ocean David, still swimming to the top, sees the creature sinking beside him. David starts to swim away feeling the current trying to pull him down David thrusted his arms swimming to the surface David looked below and could see a number of tentacles coming for his legs but before they could latch themselves unto him a large whale swims out of the abyss and takes a large bite out of the giant squid like creature then many whales started to eat the creature like sharks.

david swam back up reaching the surface with a big inhale.

Kenny cries out "David!" Saara and Kenny started to swim towards David, when a speed boat pulled up and offered to help. The crew helped Kenny and Saara onto the boat. Then a hand reached out to David.

"Come on pal, you saved us all!" David looked up to see Marty holding out his hand David took his hand. And was helped onto the boat. Everyone boated back to the town from the stilted Waters Edge.

Once back at the port Kenny followed David and Sarra back to the elevator,they rode up with fishing zone A crew and were met by the whole crew of fishing zone C who all cheered at the sight of the crafts crew. "David!" yelled Henry then Henry ran out and lifted him into the air! David hugged Henry when he was put back down on the ground "good to see you too Captain!"

The whole crowd gathered around at the kitchen David turned and saw Ocean standing in the crowd David walked towards Ocean. David embraced her and kissed Ocean. "This is my wife! and I David declare from now on peace among the fishing zones!" The crowd cheered!

The defeat of the creature brought along lasting peace between all fishing zones. Stilted city was abandoned after a while year by year the city came back as the water levels depleted. The rooftop city eventually fell and the city was made home again, the self-sufficient energy source buildings were still in full function bringing back the many self-sustaining greenhouse skyscrapers. Also the ether electromagnetic towers powered everything back up to functionality again.

My mother ocean and Father David Wilson and uncle Kenny all made a life here in the city living abundantly till my parent's deaths 20 years ago then Uncle Kenny left to sit in the Galactic federation council with Saara.

And I Ishan was left with this story to tell all of you my grandchildren who now will accept this world from us, as the sun sets for me it shall rise for all of you now my grandchildren take this story and never forget it!" One of the grandkids raised their hands. "Yes my sweet darling?"

"What did Saara do after The city came back before saara and uncle Kenny left for the Galactic council?"

"Ahh yes where did she go, what did she do?"

"Sarra waited in the facility till she made contact with her civilization of the Pleiadians and the Galactic counsel they mentioned The Dark Fleets Plans; they have since made a base here on the planet to help us defend from the Dark Fleet if they ever return. Then Saara and Kenny left to sit on the council." One of the little boys raises a hand. "Yes, my grandson?" "What do we do if the Dark Fleet Returns?" Ishan takes a deep breath then stands up "We would go to war with the Drakos reptilians and their Dark Fleet Empire!"
