I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 343: The most literal breakthrough

Dana felt confident that she had achieved the upper hand in this battle, even though she had not attacked until now.

She did not contribute so far, but at least now was the perfect time to do so.

So she blinked a couple of times, and obtained a full view of the enemy.

Any naked eye would see just a bunch of dirt in this situation, but this fine lady could see deep within the enemy and figured out a few key facts.

That was why she managed to halt the enemy on its spot, with the aid of nothing but a thought!

And afterwards she reaped a few microscopic shards out of the enemy.

These shards had a light-green colour, which helped figure out a lot of this darned creature's nature!

Once these thousands of tiny shards had been taken out of the dirt-bodied enemy, the opponent itself simply crumbled and crashed on the floor.

By now it was apparent that these tiny shards had held the enemy together, as what remained of that odd creature was nothing but a pile of dirt!

As for Dana, she took all those thousands of green bits, and flew them across the waters until these pieces crashed with one another.

While they crashed and squeaked, they eventually connected with each other, and were formed into a marble-sized green crystal.

The stingray lady locked eyes with Timothy afterwards, and cited. "That enemy has somehow mixed with crystal shards, which belonged to the space worm we met before."

She didn't wait for a reply afterwards and just forced the marble to swim towards her, until the lady's skin touched with this crystallized collection of shards.

Her green-veins illuminated extensively through the process, and exploded in volume after a bit of contact to the skin had been made.

This bright light shone for a few seconds, and then dimmed down.

The good lady seemed normal afterwards. She benefitted from that crystal for sure, but her changes were almost non-existent.

Her new green-veins have expanded by a tiny bit, but it was nothing that the naked eye could notice.

Timothy wanted to theorize regarding how some space crystal shards got all the way down here; but other worries reaped his attention.

His focus darted towards Snoopy, and now he desperately wanted to figure out a plan.

If his brother was simply trapped in a layer of rock, then it shouldn't be impossible to break him out. At least that's what he wished for.

But before he could have approached the remains of his brother, the situation itself escalated beyond expectations.

The layer of stone that coated his sibling, shattered in all directions under the blink of an eye.

Before that scene itself could have been fully comprehended, a figure darted out of the statue's former spot, and circled across the waters a couple of times.

"Darned dirty bastard," A familiar tone mumbled.

A moment after the team figured out that these light complaints, were blasted out by someone they knew well.

This was Snoopy without a doubt, and his irritability shone stronger than the actual oddity that this scene represented.

"Where is that bastard? I'll punch a million holes in it!" The same boy shouted.

"Dead already," Timothy pointed out.

And then expressed, "I was pretty sure you died in there, man."

"Nah, I just couldn't move." The other stingray explained.

Before the couple of siblings could have caught up in order to decipher the full details of that odd situation, something else happened that captured their attention even further.

They heard quite a few crackling sounds. This tone was so rugged, that these few friends thought that their own skulls cracked!

Most certainly unique, but they already had a feeling regarding what could happen next.

Their eyes instantly dotted towards the only other statue that the naked eye could capture, and they were right to look towards that direction.

That very bit of fine looking stone, was riddled with thousands of cracks, which explained the former ear-piercing sound.

This journey had taken the team towards the most bizarre odds and ends, so right now they expected to battle some ancient stingray that roamed this area.

Most of the species around here have proven hostile, so the team was right to ready themselves for the worst.

Yet contrary to all expectations, the creature they saw was nothing less but a familiar face.

These friends simply could not believe what their eyes captured.

Brother? The creature which broke out of the statue, mumbled.

Timothy was sceptical at first. But the more he looked at this stingray, the more familiar this face seemed.

So eventually he had to mumble, Haze?

How long was I trapped in there? The lady instantly asked.

I dont know, we just got here. The hero explained.

And then found it as the best time to ask, What happened around here? Whys the reef destroyed?

Thats what Im trying to figure out, She admitted.

And then continued, All I heard was a big explosion, and then a dark cloud came out of nowhere.

I thought that the holy-tar sect destroyed the reef somehow, Timothy held once more on to that little theory.

But Haze contradicted as she described, They didnt do all of this, no. That explosion killed the entire reef and that big tunnel somehow caused it.

How did you survive? This dark-cloud thing, probably killed everything in sight. Snoopy intervened this time.

After a bit of hesitation, their sister decided to admit. Ive figured out my powers a lot while all of you were gone.

And then she explained, I ripped the fabric thats hidden within water, and hid there until everything was over.

I have no idea what that means, Snoopy admitted.

And then most of the team remembered that this fine lady, was perhaps one of the most advanced species that this ocean had ever seen.

She had nine-dimensional vision, could control small particles to her will, and had an IQ that counted in the hundreds!

It was no surprise that she figured out a way to rip open the oceans fabric itself.

Haze did not follow along with the prior conversation, and focused towards something else instead.

I have this place mostly figured out, She revealed.

And then briefly explained, This place is ancient, over one-hundred and seventy-thousand years old, according to some gem particles that I have broken down.

Such a conclusion left all of their mouths open, but this intelligent lady had more to say.

Likewise she recited, Theres a source of power that keeps this entire place alive. Although most of these species are unaware, this source of power is the actual mother of everyone and everything here!
