The Ancients Chapter six: Poseidon's Gamble

 Written by Peter Ripley (aka Peter Leo on IMVU.COM)

Time Frame: The year of Aquarius ( On Terra-Gemini)

Poseidon ruler of the eastern seas of Terra-Gemini


 Before names of the two main oceans were made, there were two brothers, Poseidon, and Neptune who would end up the two oceans of the world known as Terra-Gemini. They were humans, who also was brought along with the others to this world by the aliens known as the Fifth. Even though they weren't aquatics, like the live forms who lived in the oceans and seas, that didn't stop them in taking a gamble to rule the seas, and oceans of this world. Some of the aquatics excepted their rule, some didn't they believe the aquatics should be rule by their own people. So they formed a underground resistance design at first to under mind Poseidon, and Neptune rule, but it grew to a criminal organization call the Squid, which a squid like creature was the leader of this organization, which he named by his name Squid! The following is Poseidon's story. . .

Squid speaks to a large crowd of
Aquatics.


Standing on a underwater amphitheater, a squid humanoid creature, with a crowd of thousands on Aquatics in attendance from all over the sea world of Terra-Gemini. He said in his speech of those attending, “ How dare these humans, assume to govern us! Treating our true leaders as puppets!  Aquatics are to be ruled by aquatics, I propose we do everything with our powers to resist these humans rule, in the ocean of the western hemisphere,  their  leader as already surrendered his rule, by this human named Neptune, that leaves the ocean of the east to liberate from this human called Poseidon, who right now already making arrangements with our leader, who is for now resisting Poseidon's offer to co-rule his kingdom. We must stop this before it's to late!”

Then the crowd and started chanting, “ Aquatics rule aquatics!” and “ Squid will lead us!”


Squid presents his case to the underwater leader, of 
the eastern ocean.


Three days later...

While meeting with the leader of the eastern ocean, Poseidon was in negations in the treaty between the alliance of the kingdom of Zeus to bring the 12 continence of Terra-Gemini to form an empire under human rule, and have overlords to govern the twelve lands, to call to battle the forces of the fifth, if they should ever come back. This meant giving up some autonomy, to instead allowing these overlords, to rule to ensure protection for other parts of the world against any incursions from their old masters the Fifth. 

Squid appeared before the two rulers, and interrupted their discussions he said, “ We aquatics will not trade one master for another! How dare you humans assume we can't defend ourselves against the Fifth if they come back! We will not fallow you human!”

Squid confronts Poseidon, and the current leader
of the underwater world.


The Aquatic leader of the ocean of what would be called, Poseidon spoke up and said to Squid, “ You have no part in these discussions Squid, I know who you are a opportunist, one who seeks ultimate rule and power, if given the chance. The humans only want to build a fortress on the Island of Pieces, for protection, for we aquatics who cant last very long on land, without retreating to the sea, which would end up being took over by the Fifth, so they can have a base of operations so they can launch their invasion force against the rest of the world, the humans can help fight against any foothold the Fifth would use, that's included under the oceans and seas of this world.”  

Squid answered before he left the palace, “ We aquatics of this ocean will not stand for this!” Then he left the palace back into the sea.

what appears to be a live sea monster sent by Squid
to attack and capture Poseidon turns out to be a underwater
Submarine!


A few days later reports came to Poseidon of tales of a great sea monster attacking supply ships sinking them, and killing all on board.  Poseidon decided to sail his long boat,  sail boat, and investigate these stories he heard. After sailing the sea for three days without seeing anything, they began sailing back to the Island of Pieces where his fortress was still being built.  Then suddenly a huge  octopus tentacle reached up from the sea, and wrapped around the boat, a huge octopus rose from the depths of the sea, it wasn't a sea monster at all, it was some sort of underwater craft that looked like a huge octopus! A hatch opened up, and four sea serpent creatures came out of the craft, armed with harpoon guns, the leader told Poseidon to come with them or they'll kill his men, and sink his ship.

Poseidon complied to their demands thinking his ship and crew can sail on to home, as soon has Poseidon was on board, the sea serpent creatures opened fire on Poseidon's crew and killed them, the octopus craft sank his ship. Poseidon in an anger said, “ You promised that my men would be allow to go!” The captain of the Octopus sub said, “ You think one moment we would allow witness? Squid was right you humans are so gullible!” Then he ordered his crew to put Poseidon in a chamber below the craft, then the captain came to the chamber hatch, and said, “ Don't worry your brother will soon join you, then we sail to my master's hide out!” Then he left laughing leaving Poseidon in the chamber pot like cell.

Wasn't long after they began their journey, after the captured Neptune, Poseidon's brother, the craft was being attacked by another underwater submarine, this was operated by another sea creature humanoid creature a sea serpent named,  Pontus. 

The giant sea eel Pontus reviews his prey Poseidon.


The fight didn't last long, Pontus's men quickly over took the sea serpents, who were working for Squid, and killed them for turning traitors. The he came down to the area which held the two humans and said, “ We not only killed the traitors, we have a bonus, two human specimens to experiment on, excellent, we'll bring them with us.” 

After the snake looking creature left the chamber, Neptune said to his brother, “ Well brother looks like were fish bait.”  Deep down in an underwater cavern, the two humans were placed in status tubes, Pontus came into the chamber, slithering his way like a giant eel.  He came up to them and said, “ You two will have your kingdoms, but you'll be working for me!”

an old friend makes an appearance, Benii the 
Trailudite gives aid to Poseidon and his brother Neptune


Then laugh while slithering his way out of the chamber he was holding them.  Shortly after Pontus left, suddenly for a moment time seemed have stop, and appeared before the two brothers who were in their bio tubes, was an old friend Benii, the Trailudite. He said, “ Greetings my friends, I can't stop Pontus of making improvements on your abilities, you'll need them if you are going to survive being underwater from time to time, however I can prevent you being brain washed by him to serve him. When he is done making these “improvements, I'll appear and unlock the hatches of the bio tubes.” The two brothers thanked Benii, while he opened a portal and vanished in it. 

The next few days they were given gills skin, so they could both go underwater, and walk on land, given special abilities using a Trident spear to shoot out lightening bolts, part the waters, create sea storms, and summon sea monsters to do their bidding. 

Poseidon fights with Pontus, but Pontus escapes capture.


Pontus tried and failed to brain wash Poseidon, and Neptune into working for him, they were buying their time waiting for the right time to make their move. The day came when they sprang out of their bio-tubes and attacked their captures, Pontus seeing his life was in jeopardy slithered through a passageway into the captured octopus submarine craft and made his escape, while Poseidon, and Neptune faced his henchmen. When the fight was over with Pontus men laying dead, they made their way through a underwater access tunnel and managed to swim underwater to the surface.  Two friendly  dolphins happened to swim by and the two brothers rode on them back to their islands. 

Neptune asked his brother while riding along on his dolphin, “ This is not what we  bargain for brother huh?” Poseidon answered, “ We have orders from Emperor Zeus to make the oceans of this world secure, and be prepare for the Fifth's return one day.”

Neptune: “ Looks like this Squid character is wanting the old task masters back.”

Poseidon: “ If he is in league with the Fifth we need to expose him brother.”

Neptune: “ How?”

Poseidon: “ Leave that to me.”

The two brothers reached the Island of Pieces where Poseidon's palace was still being built, and said good bye to his brother Neptune who took one of his brother's longboat sailing craft heading back to the Island of cancer, which was in the western hemisphere of Terra-Gemini, parting Poseidon said, “ Don't worry brother I'll find Squid's hide out and confront him, and if need be challenge him to a duel to gain control this side of the world seas.”

Neptune answered, “ Good luck brother, and I'll be handling that big fat eel Pontus.”

Then they parted company, with a new mission to stop both Pontus, and Squid...To be continued.
