Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2008 11:51:29 -0400 From: J Subject: TRIO 117 Note: In case anyone hasn't noticed, the underwater dome story and the shark men are a big nod to Flash Gordon, the original serial with Buster Crabbe, which in turn was taken from a comic strip by Alexander Raymond. TRIO 117 Together, Aoi and Sole swam out with Pare between them. Wiz was ahead. Yoshi stabbed one last guard boy and after yelling a victory shout, Yoshi turned, "Hey wait for us!" Dylon and Nakoi followed him outside into the ocean and they swam for the Spanish galleon. Ten shark boys followed them out! The dome lifted off the bottom and headed at them all! The dome flew up past them all and they had swam Nakoi was a fast swimmer and he not only passed Aoi and Sole, who were helping a tired Pare between them, but he beat his two pals, Dylon, the redhead and Yoshi the Japanese boy, back to the Spanish Galleon. He also passed up skinny pretty boy, the magical Wiz. Climbing the netting up to the ship's side, Nakoi jumped over and was dripping wet, his belly button outtie huge enough to catch it's own lake ontop, he turned to look at the water. The view was clear. It was a bright clear calm day. The water was blue but everything was visible. Then he noticed deeper down, there were ten sharkboys swimming after his friends. Nakoi looked at the sword in his loin cloth and took it out. Then he realized there was nothing he could do with that.20He ran over to the midship and found a rack against the wood. There were huge harpoons there. Nakoi smiled. A sharkboy's finned hand reached for Sole's ankle and grabbed it. Another sharkboy aimed his spear at Aoi's back. Suddenly the ocean's surface was torn as Nakoi's first harpoon rammed itself into the sharkboy aiming at Aoi caught one in his bare back. He floated off, blue blood emitting slowly from his belly and filling the water around him. The other one, who held Sole's ankle, looked up, startled. Nakoi aimed. The shark boy let go of Sole's ankle and swam backwards, his belly to the air. It didn't matter for him because the harpoon jabbed right into his belly button and he grabbed the long harpoon shaft in his navel and wrestled with it. Then he just gave up and his mouth opened and water filled it. His blood created a cloud of dark misty blue smoke in the water. A shark boy was passing Sole, Aoi and Pare. He waved a sword at Yoshi's legs and nicked Yoshi's lower left leg. Yoshi found it hard to swim as his leg bled some. The sharkboy that did this was about to stab Yoshi and at the same time, he opened his mouth in order to bite him. A harpoon ripped into the sharkboy's back and went through it, out his bellybutton as fast as lightning and into the belly button of a sharkboy who was swimming backward in order to escape the rain of harpoons that began. Nakoi raised his fist, Two with one shot! Yeah, man! I'm bad!" He grabbed another harpoon off the rack and raced to the side. He tore another one through a sharkboy who had bodily grabbed Wiz up in two hands and was about to bite his neck with shark teeth. The harpoon tore between Wiz and his captor. The captor took the harpoon at an angle into his navel and it rose up between Wiz and himself. Wiz felt something else tear up between them, the sharkboy's dick rose, tearing through the limp loin cloth. Blue blood rose up with purple cum and Wiz, his mouth open from screaming, received a mouthful of both along with a great deal of water, into him. He kicked the sharkboy away and swam, kicking and moving his arms and hands. Dylon turned and kicked a sharkboy near him and he inadvertently saw Yoshi's leg bleeding red blood. Dylon swam down a bit and grabbed Yoshi's arms and helped drag him up to the ship. The sharkboy he just kicked, received a harpoon in his chest and it tore out his back and hit the belly of a sharkboy behind him. Gasping for air, Wiz came up to the net and began to climb up. A sharkboy sprang up behind him and raised a dagger at Wiz's back, between his shoulder blades. Wiz yelled. Nakoi tossed a spear into the sharkboy's back and the sharkboy hissed, screamed an unearthly sound, and tumbled back into the water, ontop of another sharkboy who was catching up to Aoi, Pare, and Sole. "No nee d to worry, white hair boy! Your black bro is up here for ya!" A footnote here is to explain that Wiz liked Justin's white hair so much, he made his hair white for a few short times and this is one of those times. "Black bro?" Wiz began to climb up the net. "Anyway, thanks! My powers can only do so much!" "I know!" Nakoi threw another harpoon. "Another hit! Belly first!" Nakoi made a fist and ran for another harpoon. Soon all the sharkboys were just so much dead fish floating in the water. Dylon and Wiz helped pull Yoshi up while Aoi and Sole carried Pare up. Wiz healed Yoshi's leg first and then saw to healing Pare's jellyfish stung hands. As night came, the boys rested. Sole asked, in a cabin with Wiz, "SO how can we...even with the seven of us, sail this big muther out of here?" "Morning," Wiz put his body into Sole's arms and Sole hugged him. "By then I'll have had my rest and I'll be able to get this shit to shore." Sole kissed Wiz's forehead. "You're great." "And you missed the target!" Wiz said puckering up. Sole planted one on his mouth and kissed him. Wiz jumped into bed and Sole began to walk out and waved, "Be back soon." "Cool!" 20Wiz said, "I'll be..." He fell asleep. Sole was still turned toward him, "Asleep," he laughed. He went to another cabin and inside he saw Aoi over Pare's bed. Pare was asleep. "Yeah, it's hard to believe..." Aoi smiled, sitting on the bed, "Yeah, it really is him. After so long..." "Hey careful not to wake him up, he's been through a lot." Aoi turned to Sole, who stood close, "We all have." "I'm not asleep...anymore..." Pare turned to them, onto his back and looked up at them, "I..." "Sorry," Aoi said. "Don't be," Pare said, "We're together again. That's all that matters now." "You okay?" Sole put a hand on Pare's shoulder. "Sure," Pare smiled, "I'll be ready to put some sticking on some enemy dudes real soon." Aoi looked at them both, "You think that more of the shark dolphin guys will come?" Sole nodded, "The other three are on watch duty...but I doubt it. They'll have enough trouble reranking their ranks." "Why?" Pare asked, smiling. "Gee, I dunno," Sole said, "Someone killed like nearly 200 of them!" "Same old Pare," Aoi said. Sitting against the pillow, Pare laughed. "Did you guys forget a lot?" Sole looked at Aoi. They both turned to him and said, "Naw." Then they both laughed. They had forgotten. Quite a lot. Sole forgot almost everything. Aoi forgot a bit less but he was still pretty clueless. They had compared notes when they met each other and mostly everything came back fairly fast. Pare smiled, "Me too. I mean I got your names mixed up but that was all I forgot." "Showoff," Aoi said. "What you mean?" Pare put his head back down and moved down the bed. "He means..." Sole kneeled down beside the bed, his face near Aoi's crotch and Pare's face on the pillow , "....that..." "Doncha tell him," Aoi put his hand on the back of Sole's long flowing blond hair. "Tell me whaaa?" "We both forgot, almost everything, including each other and you and our own names...." Sole confessed. "Oh, so you were trying to keep it from me, were ya?" Pare smiled and held out his finger in a point, "I'll kill ya in your sleep for that..." Sole and Aoi looked at each other, worried. They swallowed. Pare laughed, "Joke! Joke! Joke!???" 0A Sole and Aoi laughed too. Aoi stopped his laugh, "Not funny." Pause. A beat. They all laugh. Sole kissed Pare's lips. Aoi does too even as the other two kiss again, the three of them kissing each other's lip at the same time. Pare said, "Wait. Shhh. Listen. There's this...do you hear that sound?" "Yeah," Sole and Aoi said at the same time. "What is it?" Pare whispered. Sole nodded, "You did forget one thing I didn't..." Aoi agreed, "Me neither..." "What? Wad I forget that you two didn't?" Pare was innocently curious. "Well we did really but we know it now," Sole admitted. "That sound?" "Yeah." Aoi said. "Wiz snoring." It was true. It sounded like a sawing sound. Wiz was open mouthed, drooling, still looking beautiful, but snoring up a storm. Seagulls left the area, dolphins jumped over the sparkling moonlight water, and bats even left the area. That night he had a dream that someone, someone he was sure he didn't know, maybe Feng, was whispering, "Trio is back together again." Then in his dream, he was sure, all of nature was shouting it out. And Trio's many allies and friends were shouting it out too from the treetops, TRIO IS BACK TOGETHER AGAIN!" Also Trio's enemies were cowering. There were many enemies and ones that still lived, also future enemies, oppressors and murderers of the innocents, all hiding and fearful, saying it out loud that Trio was back together. Everyone knew they were stronger together and while nature called it out, the heavens were wary. Trio also found trouble and trouble found them. What was ahead, only the heavens knew. The Seer watched Trio kiss each other and rub each other. He smiled but then he dropped his smile. By morning, the Spanish Galleon sailed under Wiz's magic ability, sparking the back and getting some firepower. Sole was at his side at the wheel and was giving him directions back to the town that he left. "That would be Tortuga." "Pirate town?" Wiz asked, "I've heard of it." He suddenly looked worried, "Sole, say, pirates don't like Celtic boys." "Look, the town's not so much pirates any more. I mean since Kickai uh, vanished or died as the case may be, the people have formed a tight community..." "Yeah and that Justin guy I healed was pretty tight himself." "Oh yeah," Sole said, "He is." "But they are okay?" "Yes, Wiz," Sole said, "I wouldn't take you there if I thought there'd be any trouble." Wiz rolled his eyes, "Oh yeah, sure." "The town will treat you just fine!" And they did. The ship was rolling in and the town readied cannons on the stone towers but when the former pirates manning the towers saw, using binoculars that it was Sole on deck, waving at them, they allowed the ship to enter the port. Sole turned the ship over to the town, "We don't need it." A pirate, a big man, the one who was in control of a democratic community, Agarn, said, "It is yours whenever you need it." Sole patted him on the back, the man being five feet taller than Sole, at 8 feet total. "Thanks, but it is your's whenever you need it or whenever you don't. If I need it I'll ask." He smiled, "But for now, I've had enough of ships and water and ...pi....pies...pies. I've eaten too many pies." Agarn laughed and patted Sole on the back, sending him flying into Wiz and Aoi who held him from falling. From the crowd, two little boys, Kelli and Iokus, pushed through the taller people and a sea of legs. They ran to Sole and almost knocked him over too. "SOLE!" They both cheered and jumped on his hips and chest, reaching up arms to his neck and shoulders and wrapping him. "SOLE! YOU'RE BACK!" Wiz whispered to Aoi, "I thought these were friendly pirates?" "Take it easy, they are," Aoi put a hand on Wiz's bony shoulder. "You there!" A voice from the crowd, near where the two smaller boys pushed from, came. "You a Celt?" Wiz gulped, "I...uh...I...." "Tell the truth, Wiz, for once," Aoi patted his Celtic friend wizard. "Aye," Wiz said, puffing his chest out and trying to sound very pirate-like. His most Pirate Like. "Then I owe you this!" Justin came forth from the crowd, the voice belonged to him and he grabbed Wiz up in his arms and lifted him into the air and twirled. "THANK YOU!" Wiz was up in the air, a head above Justin, held by Justin and he looked down, "Uh...I...thank you!" His dick was up against Justin's ample upper chest. "I liked your hair so much I made mine white too." "You gave me life!" Justin laughed, "More than I ever wanted! More than I could handle! And I'm so happy for the first time in my life!" He kissed Wiz's belly button and followed that with a few licks. Wiz's dick rose out of his loin cloth to Justin's neck and pre cam on the nice smooth skin there. "I LOVE THIS KID!" Justin put him down and kissed him on the mouth. "I owe you life! My life!8 0 "Us too!" The two boys let go of Sole who kissed them on the cheek each. They came at Wiz. "Not more!" Wiz put his hands up but the boys smothered his body anyway and tackled him joyously. They laughed. The crowd laughed. Pare came behind Sole, "All secure, Sole. Ship's their's." "Great!" Sole smiled, "Great! Pare, this is Justin and Iokus and Kelli." Iokus and Kelli were on top of Wiz, tickling him. "No, no stop," Wiz laughed, "I need rest." "We all do," Aoi said. Justin came over to Aoi, "Aye, friend. C'mon, to our hotel." "You have a hotel?" Pare raised his eyebrows. "Sure, cmon!" Justin put an arm around Pare's shoulder in a friendly gesture. "Oh okay," Pare said, "It's been a restful night but I could always use some more bedding." Justin looked down at Pare's abs, "I bet!" The night after that first night of rest, in the hotel, Pare was in bed with Aoi and Sole. "I like your friends, Sole." "Yeah, I was lucky to find them." Sole said, "And even luckier that they survived our ordeal." Aoi gulped, "You can say that again.D He was thinking of the allies he lost, all those brothers in the China area of Violenza. Sole was between Aoi and Pare. He turned to Aoi and kissed his cheek, "Aoi, Aoi, I'm sorry. I forgot about what happened to you. What you told me..." "It's all right. I believe where ever they are, my friends are rewarded for helping me. And they are together." Aoi shut his eyes for a few seconds. "I believe that too," Sole said. "My friends Jenga and Mayo, they died too. While that scum the so called priest Tohu lives." Pare said. "You let that one live?" Aoi asked. "I tell you the truth, I just kinda forgot about him. For all I know he's still wandering the desert, afraid of me and his own people whom he lied to for years." Pare's eyes wandered into another dimension as he spoke. Sole snapped Pare out of it. "We have much more to share with each other about our encounters and searches for each other." "I couldn't save them. Not Dahl in battle--truth be known I must have forgotten more than I thought I did. I mean I think I'm kinda an even more vicious warrior than I was on the island. I should have saved him and Jenga and Mayo too. Those two, at least were good to me. And Dahl entered battle to try to help me.=2 0I should have made sure they were safe." "Sometimes you just can't," Aoi said, "Sometimes, those that help, die. They never die in vain, either way, you know?" "Yeah," Pare nodded, "But I owe them." "Right. Just like I owe Jaimiel, the Haitian boy who saved me from Sok's blade. And Rafe, who fought for me in my place. They died to save me." "As you would have for them," Aoi said, "And almost did. We owe nothing really. Just to remember them. Love them..." "Hey," Sole tickled Aoi's belly, "We owe Wiz, let's go give him some comfort, aye?" "Sounds like fun!" Pare jumped up, "And I'm all for it!" To be continued.
