Leon pulled himself to his feet and checked his surroundings. He was initially concerned that the commotion would have attracted the soldiers over and straight to him, but he didn’t see them anywhere around. Instead of waiting for them to arrive, if they were coming, he decided to head off in the direction of the second dome construction and see if their mission involved what he assumed.
It seemed to take him longer to get there than it ever had before. He opted out of using his water turbine, feeling as though it would give away his position too easily. The giant ring of lights above the dome had slowly collapsed down to the ocean bottom, and the water was left too dark for him to see anything beyond what his head lamp had to show.
The reality of the situation he had gotten himself into also began to affect Leon. The only way he could potentially get back to the surface, to continue living after he had properly warned the mer, was to use the turbine on his back to push himself all of the way up. It seemed, however, like his mind didn’t trust this possibility, and he began to experience the symptoms of a mild panic attack.
Something flicked across his view ahead in the water, both catching his attention and causing him to worry even more. He saw what it was as he slowly stalked forward to the edge of the new dome construction site.
The soldiers from the surface were equipped and outfitted with weapons. Each of them had on heavily armored black pressure suits, and carried long, powerful looking spear guns, which they were using to great effect to slaughter all of the mer around.
Leon stayed low at first as he watched. There several dozen mer fighting the men, with more arriving by the minute. It looked almost like a historical scene, the first encounter of the conquistadors with the Native Americans, totally one sided due to the massive technological gap in between them.
“We’ll head in the direction that they’re coming from when we’re done,” said one of the men. “If there is a city, we can mark down its location and come back with a larger team.”
Leon felt frustrated, and useless. Another mer surged forward, catching in the water in just a way as it went by as to let him make out the details of her face. It was Dimitra, with her attractive slim body and beautiful purple eyes.
Instead of staying where he was and just watching what was about to happen play out, as if in slow motion, Leon threw himself forward. One of the discarded mer spears was in his path, and he grabbed it and jetted at the soldier team using his water turbine.
He reached them before the female mer did, and managed to do something that he would have thought all but impossible. Leon assaulted from their back, at a speed and angle unusual compared to the patterns of the mer. Because of that, the man that he had targeted didn’t have any time to react as he turned. Leon thrust the spear in his hand forward, and it seemed to catch on a crack between the armor plates of the man’s suit, ripping it open and killing him in an instant.
Leon may have started the insanely quick process, but it was really the pressure that killed the soldier. The scene was almost unrealistic, and happened so fast that Leon found himself doubting his eyes. The man’s suit inverted itself, and the man’s body went along with it, transforming into nothing more than darkened underwater cloud and what looked like a shredded black bag in no more than a tenth of a second.
“You bastard!” screamed one of the others. The remaining four men turned on Leon, and in his mind, it only seemed fair. He whirled to face them and kept his spear up, but he knew before they had even begun to move towards him just how hopeless the situation was.
Which is why he was even more surprised by what happened next. Dimitra was above the men, saved from their flying spears for the moment. She looked over her shoulder into the ocean behind her and let out what sounded like an incredibly loud, screeching whistle.
A second went by, and then another. The spear guns of the men were trained on Leon now, and he watched as one of them slowly wrapped his finger around the trigger and then…
The man disappeared, pulled back by something unseen. The other three soldiers turned and looked around, stunned. Something approached from above, and in an instant, Leon understood what had turned the odds.
Several giant squid were descending towards the men, moving quickly and with terrifying menace. Leon watched as one of them dodged a spear aimed at its body mass, and then twisted and scooped up a man into its arms. He heard a ragged, subvocalized scream over his com channel, and then the creature tore the man into several pieces.
The last two took off using their own water turbines, but the squid seemed to pursue with unrelenting speed of their own. Leon didn’t watch to see what happened to them.
CHAPTER 18
The battery light on the computer screen of Leon’s suit was flashing red. He hadn’t bothered to check and see if it was fully charged before putting it on. Things had been so chaotic right before he’d left, there was likely no way that Kim had taken the time, or had the inclination to run maintenance on it.
Dimitra swam over and dropped down next to him. She wrapped Leon into a hug in her usual style, and he wished that there was some way for him to smile at her through the skin of the suit. Instead, he just pulled back after a minute, and then looked up into the dark water, at the surface.
There was no way for him to make it back up now. Even if his turbine could theoretically do it, that was assuming he had a full charge of his battery. With it as low as it was, there was no chance that he could do it, and still have the oxygen tanks running for the duration.
It was surprisingly easy for him to resign himself to his fate. There were bodies of mer, along with the torn and ripped suits of the soldiers, all around him. This was what would have happened on a much larger scale, and his actions had pushed against it, at least for a while.
Leon slowly sat down on the ocean bottom, looking into the empty foundation of the new dome. He thought about his mom, and their convoluted relationship. He thought about his dad, and about everyone else who he had left behind on the surface.
Something nudged his shoulder. Leon turned and saw Dimitra settling down into the spot next to him. Her face was just as expressive as any human’s, and he could see the deep seated concern she felt all over it.
She looked at him expectantly, as if waiting for him to start off back towards the now destroyed Project Cobalt. Leon shook his head and held up his hands, trying to let her know that it wasn’t an option. Leon had no plans of going anywhere, and his mind was slowly beginning to come to terms with his fate.
Dimitra grabbed his arm, and then let out a series of clicks. Leon was surprised by the approach of two more female mer, who dropped in around him and grabbed onto his other arms. They conversed in clicks for a moment more, and then he felt himself slowly being lifted up, and carried towards the surface.
It was a very surreal experience, especially given how used to the deep depths of the ocean Leon had grown over the past few days. He could see sea creatures through the beam of his headlamp at first, but as they slowly arose higher and higher, the light from the surface slowly made the water blue, and visible.
There was life all around him, more than he ever could have imagined. The water itself began to feel warmer, and he could hear the mechanisms of his suit straining to adjust to the new, lessened pressure.
The sun could be seen far up above as just a tiny, dim circle of light. The mers brought him further up, and further up, and then it grew even brighter, and then quite suddenly, he crashed through the surface of the water.
It felt weird to be wearing the suit on the surface, restrictive and almost claustrophobic. Leon could see through the lens goggles that there was a small island nearby, and the mer began swimming him over and towards it. He felt tired more than he felt relieved, but once he got within swimming distance of the shore, he pulled his arms from his saviors and swam the last 20 or so feet on his own.
Leon stopped when he reached the shallows, and began to pull the WAVE suit off, starting with his face, and continuing to
unseal it down until it was hanging from his waist. Dimitra was watching him, only far enough out in the water to be able to swim.
“Thank you,” Leon said, the first words that he’d ever said to her out loud. He looked over his shoulder at the island behind him, which was only a couple hundred feet across, more of a large sandbar than anything.
Dimitra clicked out a response back at him, which sounded much more musical on the surface than it had been under the waves. She was beautiful, even more so in the sunlight than she ever had under the beam of Leon’s lamp.
Water was glistening on her naked upper body, and her large breasts, dotted with perfect pink nipples, had a healthy and youthful glow to them. Leon finished pulling off the rest of his suit, and felt the cold water of the ocean against his loins.
He walked out further into the sea, until he was up to about chest level, which was enough water for Dimitra to be able to swim near him. Her fish scaled mer tail was fascinating to Leon, and strangely erotic. She was different from any woman he had ever seen before, and his cock seemed to be fascinated, and excited by her.
She surfaced right in front of him, and Leon looked into her pretty purple eyes, seeing her for what she was. He reached his arms out, and Dimitra moved forward into them, running her hands across his chest and feeling his unsuited skin for the first time.
Leon felt his cock quickly hardening, and becoming erect. It was confusing for him, but he knew that he wanted Dimitra, and from the look in her eyes, he could tell that she felt the same way. He leaned forward, and let his lips find hers, and the two of them began to kiss.
She tasted salty, with a sweet undertone. Leon was happy and relieved just to be alive, and his arousal seemed to stem from that and merge with the uniqueness of the woman in front of him. He reached his hands up and groped at her soft, firm breasts, which felt amazing underneath his hands.
Dimitra moaned, and then began kissing his neck. Leon pushed forward against her, unsure of just how to escalate things from there. The mer seemed to pick up on it, and took his cock in her hand and led it forward, against a warm and somewhat slimy slit in her tail around where a human woman’s crotch would be.
His apprehensiveness was outweighed by just how intense his sexual urges were, and how powerful the compulsion to bond with Dimitra, as different as she might have been, was. Leon pushed forward, and the head of his cock moved into the woman’s tight opening.
It felt incredible, and Dimitra let out a small cooing noise as Leon began to thrust. The angle was different from a human woman’s vagina, and let him pump forwards into her and continue to kiss her lips at the same time. The mer seemed to be shivering at the pleasure his cock was giving to her, and Leon felt his lust setting his body ablaze.
The waves lapped against the two of them as they writhed against each other. It felt almost perverse for Leon, in more ways the one. He was out in the open, even if it was on the shore of a tiny, deserted island. The sun was out, and his partner was of another species. All of this only seemed to make his cock pulse with sexual energy, and he began to pinch at the mer’s nipples and pump his cock into her with renewed vigor.
Dimitra wrapped her arms around him, and let her tail slide in between his feet as he continued to slam his hips against her opening. She was purring, almost like a cat, and would let out an erotic sounding squeal every few seconds. Leon felt like he had been ensnared by the song of a siren, and the only way for him to cure himself of it was to cum.
After another minute, Dimitra began to get louder. She tightened her hands against Leon’s back, and then began to shudder and cry out in an almost singsong voice. She let go of Leon, and slipped off of his cock, into the water.
Before he could feel disappointed, the mer did a quick lap around his legs and then wrapped her mouth around his cock. The strength at which she sucked with was mind blowing, and somehow, her tongue felt different to Leon than a human’s.
He kept expecting her to come up for air, forgetting her underwater adapted nature. Leon was amazed by the speed at which Dimitra was able to work him into a state of erotic ecstasy. He focused on his breathing, and before he knew it, was up to his pleasure limit.
“Oh god, Dimitra,” he moaned, as he began to blast his seed deep into the mer woman’s mouth. She waited until he had completely spent his load, and then slowly rose to the surface and gave Leon a tight, symbolic hug.
He looked into her eyes, and though neither of them could speak the other’s language, they both understood what the other was thinking. This was goodbye, at least for the moment. Leon took his time looking at Dimitra’s face, and finally, after a minute, she turned from him and dove into the ocean, disappearing underneath the waves without so much as a splash.
CHAPTER 19
The rest of that day felt unreal to Leon. He spent the first hour after Dimitra had left exploring the island, and confirming that it was every bit as small as it had seemed from the water. The only supplies it offered him were a couple of amply stocked coconut trees and numerous scattered shells along the shore.
He collected some of the dry branches and spent most of the afternoon trying to start a basic fire. The only protection he had from the elements was his WAVE suit, which he had forgone for the moment. It felt good to be naked, unrestricted and real.
Leon finally did manage to bring sparks to his kindling close to sunset, by means of a flat stone, a stray chunk of flint and one of the steel weights from the boot of his suit. There was only so much fallen wood on the island, however, and he knew that the setup would only last him through a couple of nights.
He munched on the inner flesh of one of the dry coconuts, and stared off into the ocean. It was peculiar feeling to have a sense of just how much was going on under the surface of it, how much life and intelligence there was that went completely unnoticed by the large majority of humanity. He found himself hoping that it would stay that way, and that the mer could continue to prosper in obscurity.
The stars came out, and Leon fell asleep close to the fire, using his WAVE suit as a pillow. He wasn’t sure how long it had been when a noise woke him up, but he was certain that it hadn’t been more than a couple of hours.
“Leon!” Kim’s voice was easily recognizable, though it took him a minute to realize that he wasn’t dreaming. “Oh my god, Leon…how is this possible? Somebody radio this back to Julia, we found Leon!”
There was a small, inflatable dinghy about thirty or so feet away from him in the water. Beyond that, he could see a larger craft that looked almost like a small cruise ship or transport vessel. Leon stood up, and then realizing that he was still naked, grabbed his suit and began pulling it on.
“Well, this is a pretty welcome surprise,” he said. “It’s just one thing after another today, isn’t it?”
Half an hour later, he was on the larger boat, rescued from the ocean and his predicament. Kendra had argued with Elizabeth over his confinement, but in the end, everyone was so relieved to find him alive that he was allowed his freedom.
Julia was doting on him, just as a mother should, for the entire experience. He was given food to eat, though Leon was not very hungry. Then, after reassuring all of the people from Project Cobalt, Kim especially, that he was okay, he went back to the room his mom had been given for the trip to rest.
“Sweetie, I thought that I had lost you…” said Julia. “You don’t understand just how awful of a feeling it was, to know that you were gone, just like your dad.”
“I’m sorry mom, I didn’t mean for that to happen.”
“You should be sorry, you jerk,” she said, stepping closer to him. The room was the only the size of a very small motel unit, and with the door closed behind them, they were in their own tiny little world.
“Mom, I didn’t have a choice,” he said. “The dome…it’s not our place to move down into the ocean.”
“I understand why you did it, even if the way you went about it was wrong. Nobody has any proof, you won’t be held responsible for
it, and that’s all I care about in the end,” said Julia. “But enough of that for now. All I need right now, Leon, is a hug from my son.”
She was wearing loose sweatpants, and a tight halter top, but Leon tried not to notice as he stepped over to her and wrapped his arms around her. She was his mom, and after all that he had been through, he wanted nothing more than to be close to her, and let her love make it all okay.
“You’re so brave, honey,” she said. “My big, brave, boy…”
As she spoke the word big, Julia brought her hand down to Leon’s crotch. He was surprised for a second, part of him thinking that all of the strange, sexual encounters he and his mom had shared down in the dome were merely a product of the environment. But his cock responded to her touch, lengthening and thickening into an eager, hard rod.
“Mom,” he whispered. “I love you…”
“I love you too, Leon,” she replied. “I want to love you in the way that only a mommy can love her son.”
She leaned in and kissed him several times on the lips. They started out as quick, motherly pecks, and slowly began to shift into much more sensual territory. By the last one, they were making out with each other like horny teenagers, pushing their tongues into each other’s mouths and groping eagerly at each other’s bodies.
The bed took up most of the tiny room, and Leon pushed his mom onto it. He didn’t know what he was doing, but he knew that he couldn’t stop. Feelings of guilt and shame began to wave across his mind as he pulled his mom’s tiny top up and over her head, revealing her naked boobs, large and well formed. The sight of them was illicit, and combined with the emotional conflict he was experiencing, it was almost enough to make him cum in his pants.
Julia leaned back on the bed, crossing her legs suggestively and smiling at her son. She brushed a couple of strands out of her face slowly, and then licked her lips.
