Aftermath
8/15/1945, San Francisco, California
Namor was being transported as always now and as they moved him, they saw that there was no issue for the moment as both Atlanteans had stood out of the water wearing Gill Scarves with Pinkling Clothes, they had examined everything that was there before hey saw that he was being moved away now and that made the two of them nervous, “We should be parading him through Atlantis now.”
That made Bobo nod, hating it, but there was nothing that they could really do at the moment as they both went to move now, the duo going to blend in with the crowd as men, women and those that were in between were being moved around now, all of them cheering, men, women, babies– Nammu had covered her stomach at that, hating the fact that her twins… no matter where they came from… were separated from her.
“Bobo…” Nammu said as they walked, “Do you wish that you could be with your child?” she asked, both of them having children, in fact, Namor and Dorma were the only two that didn’t have children and Nammu hoped that those two would finally tie the knot and would finally get together, thinking they should eventually, “Nammu, the only difference between us, is that you can see them whenever you wish.”
That made her glare, he was right and that made the woman worried, she was going to see them, Nammu couldn’t avoid them but– but every time she saw them, Nammu thought of Meranno and it was concerning as she had started to move, both of them watching and looking only to see that there was a issue which concerned both as they saw that there was soldiers keeping the civilians away now.
Looking towards the scene, Nammu took a breath, “Do you know how to use a auto–mobile?” she asked her friend who nodded, “I do, and I know how to steal one too.” the Atlantean said as both of them went to move, “I’ll steal us a car and then we’ll be ready to follow after them.” he told them as they had went to prepare for the situation as they started to find their car.

Nammu didn’t like how the item in question with how mechanical it was, she preferred more living creatures instead to ride on and as she looked at them, Bobo had smiled towards the woman, “I have to admit, it’s nice to hangout with you in this sort of situation.” he explained which made the woman smile at that as both of them started to follow the military convoy that was before them.
It was strange that they would have done something like this to them, but neither one had any real experience with anything past the West Coast, “Well then, this should be an interesting adventure.” Bobo told her, making Nammu smile at that as both of them watched it all with some fascination right now as the vehicle that was being moved and hoping that they’d be able to protect him from the pinklings right now.

8/15/1945, Namor’s Mindscape
Namor had been in a dark ocean, he could see that there were monsters that were all around them now, them… he saw that his friends and family, Nammu, Bobo… Dorma… lovely Dorma… he saw that the monsters were getting closer and closer and it was making him scared for them right now as he went to swim towards them, but the closer he got, the further away they moved.
Seeing them, he tried to shout out, but the water had entered inside of him right now and as it did so, he started to get scared now, Namor went to attack at a claw that got too close before he saw that it was something human, something Atlantean which was making him scared right about now as Namor had looked towards the creature that was started to enter the light there.
He noticed that there was a monster there now, a monstrous version of him that was standing up above with a monstrous snarl, needle like fangs making up his maw with crimson eyes, “Immm… Peeri… Usss… Rexxxxxxxxx…” The monster said towards him now as it went to grab at him, but Namor had no fear right now as he charged towards the monster, “Imperius Rex!” he snarled back towards it.

8/15/1945, The Royal Palace, Atlantis
Dorma had seen how there were so many that were chanting either Opistho or Byrrah, the former because he was the leader n The Lemurian front while Byrrah had been the one to take the credit for leading him and it was making them start to lose more and more faith in Namor right about now, “What of The Crown Prince!” one of the crowd shouted at the latest chant, “What of Namor?”
Dorma had wanted to see what they would say as Byrrah had spoken now, “Namor has decided that humanity is more important than Atlantis!” Byrrah had shouted, “While we come here to help repair a broken Atlantis, to show that we had triumphed over Lemuria to protect you our people! He decided that it was better for him to indulge in the taste of the surface he was always obsessed with.
That had made the majority all glare towards that, all of them were getting angrier and angrier as Dorma and Argos had looked with some worry while Beemer and Sandy had stayed close to Byrrah now, enemies in his camp it seemed as the two of them pretended to be traitors right about now while she looked towards the Twins and thinking that it wasn’t safe here for them anymore when there was a knock.
“Enter.” Dorma said, hearing that, the Lemurian Tali had entered and hearing that, the woman had smiled towards the babies, “[Hello there, darlings.]” she said with a smile, going to help them now and as they saw her, the two of them were circling her now, “Tali, I wanted to know if–” “You don’t trust Byrrah and Krang with the safety of the two.” he explained towards the duo.
That made the Noblewoman nod at that, both of them wanting to protect the twins and who they cared for as The Lemurian had smiled, “I promise, Magni and Modi will be safe here.” She said and hearing that, the lady smiled in relief at that as they both went to get their clothing at the ready now as they had all went to get their clothing and gear to take care of the children.
“I am going to miss the two little Hellions.” she said and hearing that, Tali smiled, she had betrayed her people, she betrayed her Emperor and her family and the man that she had been bonded to, though both of them were in agreement that they were going to have to be careful now as they both went to see if any guards were there and it made the two relieved when they saw none.
Tali had taken the twins and smiled, “I will raise them like the rest of my nieces and nephews.” she told her and hearing that, Dorma smiled, glad for that as she went to kiss the heads of each, “Nammu will be happy to reunite with you.” she said, making the Atlantean smile at that as she had rubbed her stomach now which made Tali look towards her with a raised eyebrow now.
“Feeling like you would like one of your own?” Tali had asked her, making Dorma pause at that, looking at her action before she nodded, “Yes… I wouldn’t mind one with Namor.” she said, making Tali smile as well, “I hope that the two of you do have one someday.” she said, making her grin as the two of them went to embrace, they had both missed everything now that was happening.
The two of them split apart now and go on their way, as she headed back towards her group, the woman looked over the messages that were there when she saw that Argos had started to swim in now, “This is outrageous–!” “And we will need to prepare for it.” she told the man, “Work with Opistho, he’ll be helpful as we start to work with getting rid of it all and allow Namor to take his place.

8/18/1945, Teton Wilderness, Moran
The two Atlanteans had looked towards the compound that they had seen that there was a group of soldiers that that were there and it made the two of them start to look towards the insanity that was there before Nammu had looked towards the information that was there before she had started to work on the tent that they stole from some of the pinklings that were there.
They started to move now and as they looked towards the group that was there now and it was making the pair of them cautious right about now as Bobo ha leaned back and stripped off his shirt now, going and looking towards the insanity that this was, how Namor had been locked up and now was going to be experimented now, making the two furious while nammu whistled, “Nice ink, looks like my grandma.”
Hearing that, Bobo had cackled now as he had groomed his beard, going to work on his hair when Nammu had went to get up, “Hey, let me.” she said, Nammu told him, “Your hair is perfect for a bun.” she told him, making the Atlantean look towards him with some curiosity and caution as he turned his back towards her, “Alright, go ahead.” he said and hearing that, Nammu smiled.
She went to get started now, “So then, how do you think we are going to break into there?” Nammu asked,making Bobo think, “We can’t pose as soldiers, Pinklings take identification very seriously.” The Prince explained towards him, “Was there any chemicals that you learned in Lemuria?” he asked of her, making Nammu tsk, “They only left me with the animals.” she explained.
“Then maybe we should try animals.” Bobo said towards the woman who looked towards them all, “We’re going to have to be careful with what we can use, after all, the pinkling animals are all small and soft.” she explained and hearing that, the man thought, “Then we should try Monster Island.” he said and hearing that, Nammu looked towards him, “Monster Island?” she asked him.
That made the man chuckle, “You’d love it there, monsters as far as the eye could see EVERYWHERE, but a small village.” The man told her, “Apparently they had come from some place underground.” Bobo said which made Nammu smile, “Could you give me a map? I’d be happy to see what I could find THERE.” Nammu told him and hearing that, Bobo sighed.
“Alright, it might actually be useful for us, but maybe we can get some mercenaries like The Sharka.” he continued and hearing that, Nammu was curious, “Not the ones that ate Giganto’s, I would rather eat them.” she explained and hearing that, Bobo was a bit happier at that as he trusted her to do as much while they continued to brainstorm over it all.
“I know a way to get to the underground quickly, that would allow us to gather something from there.” he told the woman and hearing that, Nammu was curious, “A Earth digger?” she asked, making Bobo nod, “All we need is a car and a clear way to Canada.” he explained which Nammu nodded at, “Alright, let’s go get ourselves a monster or two.” Nammu said as both went to prepare for it.

8/18/1945, Namor’s Mindscape
Namor had been trying to swim upwards, as he did as much, the bones that were around him had went to grab towards the Atlantean, but he used all of the strength that he had to escape he used everything that he had, attacking them, trying to escape from them, and as he did so, one of them in particular had grabbed at him, one that made him look with fear and panic, “Tommy.” he gasped in fear.
“You let me die!” he snarled towards him, but Namor shook his head, “No… I– I tried to save you–!” he started to say towards him as more and more of them had went to grab and pull at him, trying to drown Namor where he is and that made him start to get more and more worried at that before they saw that there was more and more of varying sizes that went to attack him.
One of them in the form of Steve who snarled towards him, “Why are you alive while I am dead?!” he snarled in fury as the man went to grab at his heart, going to tear it out and it had made Namor scream in pain, starting to fall down now, the darkness taking over his sight now as he had found himself up back at the bottom of the pit of bones now that he started in.
“Swim…” the man said, making Namor look upwards towards the sun, the light, “Swim!” the man shouted again and hearing that, Namor took a breath now as he went and started to swim upwards now, the enemy had started to go towards him, but he had kept going, kept swimming upwards as fast as possible, “Imperius Rex!” he shouted to them all, “Imperius Rex…” they repeated back now.

8/18/1945, Kendal Residence, New Canaan
The two of them had went and pressed their lips towards each other, both of them pulling back from that now and as they did so, Cass smiled, “That was nice.” she said with Phil nodding, “Nice.” he said with a smile as wide as possible now while Cass had turned and seen that The Kendal’s were looking at them, her mother and father smiling at that as both of them blushed.
They had went to get up and walk away from each other right about now and as they started to look around at everything that was there before Cass spoke, “Can I go to the pool now?” she had asked with her head bowed as her parents nodded, “Of course, bring Phillip with you.” her mother said, hearing that, the boy smiled wider as both of them went to get dressed now.
______________________________________________________________________
The two of them had looked towards the pool, Phillip going to drink some of the water only for him to spit it, “Saltwater?” he asked of her, making Cass nod, “Saltwater is good for me.” she explained as the girl had made her that her water socks were okay and secure as both her and Phil went into the water to swim, to enjoy themselves as best as they could right now.
As they did so, Liz had went to approach them now, “Hey there, Cass.” Liz said with a smile, she was still single, she had no interest in anybody, except– “Is your friend from Long Beach back?” she had asked her sister, making Liz shake her head, “Not yet, he’s on a trip with one of his friends to rescue another.” she told him and hearing that, The girl pouted in annoyance at that.
“He’s stupid! He should just come and marry you already!” Cass said, hearing that, Liz couldn’t help but smile, “Who knows, maybe one day, but not today.” The woman told her, making Cass stick her tongue out in annoyance at that as she looked around at it all that was there, “If you got married, would go and live in that house in Long Beach?” she asked of her.
Liz shook her head at that, “No, my friend is… he lives in an even BIGGER place than that.” Liz said, “I went there once, it was so big you'd think it was a palace.” Liz said, making Phil and Cass look at her with some interest, “Can you describe it?” Phil asked, making the woman smile at that before she went to start telling them everything that she recalled of it all.
“You see… it was almost of a pacific style, the people there were more focused on community and their home instead of hierarchy,” she started to explain which made the group listen enraptured by it all at the moment as they started to sit around and look towards her as she started to go into so much more detail that she could, recalling everything that she could recall of the past.

8/18/1945, Anchorage Tunnel, Subterranea
It was almost midnight now when the two of them had started to park towards the hole there, “This is where the monsters come from?” she asked, making Bobo nod, “I would have preferred the Island, but this one is the closest.” he continued towards the lower sections of The Tunnel with Nammu looking at the weapons, a few blades, some fire based weaponry with one of them looking like a giant flashlight.
“Do we really need all of this?” Nammu asked with Bobo nodding, making sure that his body armor was on correctly, “Definitely, the monsters down there are as bad as the ones you’ve raised.” he said, making Nammu a bit more curious as she took a baton that looked more like a curved sword that crackled with electricity now which made the woman look at it with wonder.
“The Moloids will be the first problem, just make sure they don’t surround you and we’ll be fine.” he continued, making the woman raise an eyebrow, “Moloids? And how do you know so much?” She asked as they started to walk further and further in, their torches starting to be lit right about now and that made Bobo sigh, “When I was treasure hunting, I accidentally got caught in a current.” he said.
“I found myself on the island and a wild animal had grabbed me to eat me in the tunnels.” he continued, “Some Moloids had rescued me and I was able to snatch a map or three.” he said, pulling out a few slabs of stone before finding one that had a stretch of skin on it, “This should be The Canada map.” he continued, smiling towards that, “If I remember correctly, there’s one in particular I think you’ll like.”
That made Nammu curious as they started to move, as the pair did as much, they saw that there were small yellow creatures skittering around, appearing to have some sort of visor on their faces, seeing them, the two Atlanteans had readied their weapons, making the creatures look towards them with caution, hissing as they started to hid from the light right now.
“Moloids?” Nammu asked as she readied herself, “Moloids.” Bobo said towards her, “They’re troublesome in numbers, so be careful.” he told her as they started to see that there was light down below now, making the two of them take a last look before they started to head down, “What is this thing supposed to be called?” Nammu asked Bobo who grinned, “A Megataur.”

8/18/1945, Megataur’s Nest, Subterranea
The two of them walked as quietly as they could towards the creature, it had looked as is a giant lizard had decided to grow a pair of Bull horns, Nammu first thought it looked like a Giganto, but no, it was more like a predator, “What can you tell me about The Megataur?” she asked, making the man take a breath before he spoke, “It’s a digger.” she explained towards the person.
“The creature claws through everything it can to create a cavern for them to live in.” Bobo said, “They are very territorial and will fight anything that enters it, but they are also easy to tame.” The Prince said which made the girl smile, “Great, I love the difficult ones.” Nammu said as she went to approach, making sure to take some of the dung that was nearby and spread it over herself.
Bobo looked at it with a bit of disgust before she started to approach, making sure that she didn’t touch anything that was too dangerous at the moment as she had went to approach, making sure that there was no loud noises as Nammu had reached the snout, feeling as the breath had been blasted into her face, but she didn’t care, instead she had started to stroke his nostril and pull out some food.
Nammu went and offered it to his maw, seeing as he opened it, she had placed the food inside and that seemed to do the work as the eye had slowly opened, making the woman pause, cautious as the creature had went to taste the food that was there, seeming to like it, so she had went to place another in his mouth now, making Bobo a bit more relieved right about now.
The Megataur had huffed before closing his eyes again, making Nammu relieved as she started to head towards a nice little alcove that had been grown from the area, making the Atlantean smile as she went to set up camp, seeing that, Bobo had looked towards her with confusion, “<I’ll work on training the Megataur, you observe Namor.>” she told him which Bobo nodded at.
“<Be safe, Numma.>” Bobo told her and seeing that, she smiled back before going to look at The Megataur, it was quite impressive, a creature that made her cautious, but it was also once of the most beautiful land creatures that she had seen and could not wait to see everything that she would be able to do, but also she had wanted to be there to help DOrma reunite with him.
