Open Waters
AJ is currently swimming north on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Ever since Cthulu was stopped, he has had much more time to himself. Henry's party a few days ago was the last time he had seen another person, but he preferred exploring the vast seas which stretched on for miles. AJ had grown up his whole life living in an aquarium learning about the oceans and all the creatures in it, but had never before been allowed to explore the world. Now was his chance to do that, while still searching for his father, of course.

Right now he's far below the surface, and it is quite dark, though his night vision helps. He sees the skeleton of a blue whale, stripped clean by sharks and hagfish and other scavengers. Other than that, the are is mostly rocky and barren, with the ridge line high above him like a mountain.

Victor moves quickly, avoiding the incoming attacks. As he passes one of the sharks, he reaches out and grabs the tail of one of them.

Thanks, don't mind if I do, he tells AJ... then swings the shark as a club towards Aquaknight.

AJ is knocked away by the attack, but he quickly composes himself. He takes command of one of the sharks, grabbing onto its dorsal fin and riding on it as he charges again at the man and swung his sword.

Focusing his will into his arms to strengthen them, Victor meets the charge head-on, trying to parry the sword strike with one arm while sending a punch towards AJ's face with the other.

AJ was sure that his sword would slice right through, but instead there's a fist colliding with his face and he's knocked off his mount. AJ goes flying through the water and manages to right himself before hitting the ridge.

"Ahg, the hell?" Some blood trickles from his mouth, and the sharks start to ignore him and attack anything that moves. AJ does his best to keep the animals under control as he swims back into the fray.

Victor grins and swims up towards the whale skeleton... grabbing the skull and turning around.

He slams it towards AJ as hard as he can.

AJ is so baffled by what he sees that he hardly has time to react. Desperate, he holds his sword up to protect himself, and the skull smashes against him. The bone shatters and splinters and AJ is left stunned and beaten.

"D-Damnit..." He slowly starts to sink towards the ocean floor, hand still clenching his weapon. His psychic link to the sharks fades, and the creatures flee from the stranger out of instinct.

But the stranger isn't done yet. He swims down and grabs AJ by the hair, lifting his head up... for a punch directly to the jaw.

Arthur grunts and he loses any coherent train of thought. All he can do is flail his sword at the attacker and launch a futile psychic burst from his mind. He feared that this would be the last moment of his life. He wished he knew why this guy was trying to kill him. At least he wouldn't go down without a fight.

The psychic burst hits Victor's mind... and spatters off like a bullet fired at Superman. The sword is knocked aside.

And Victor sends punch after punch into the Atlantean's body: the jaw, the solar plexus, the kidneys... and he grins as he does so. Victor Reis enjoys his work.

At this point there's nothing AJ can do. He is helpless to stop the pummeling he is receiving, and quickly loses consciousness.

Victor eventually stops the beating.

The aquatic one is ours.
