10/1/1945, Namor’s Mindscape
Namor had been looking over everything and as they did so, the Atlantean had started to walk through the water now and as he did so, the man started to get worried right about now and as he looked around at everything, the man observed it all right about now and that was when he saw that there were two versions that were standing before him now which made him curious.
One of them was your average Atlantean now, looking to be in the armor of a warrior now and as he stood before Namor, his trident at the ready, Namor saw how he had his anger, but not his wrath, not his pain or his heard, this was a cold animal that was going to kill anyone that had gotten in his way quickly and quietly, he was ice which made Namor look to the other.
This one was dressed as a ship captain, he had appeared more like a human compared to The Atlantean now, his wings were flapping at his ankles and he had kukri in his hand as he was covered in scars with no gills, nothing Atlantean, all Pinkling, this man was fire, he wanted to burn everything that got in his way as long and as loudly as possible right about now.
“Choose.” The two of them said towards him, making Namor scowl, “Choose what you are, an Atlantean.” The Atlantean Namor said towards him, “Or are you an Essex Man, like me?” the Captain said towards him and hearing that, Namor glared towards them both, looking at them before he went to grab at two blades that were at his hips at the moment, “Neither.” he snarled to them.
The Atlantean proceeded to stab them both with his weapons, “I am not an Atlantean or a Pinkling, I am Namor.” he snarled, making the two of them look at their matching wound before they smiled towards him, “Well done.” the two of them said in unison, “Wake up now.” they had told him and hearing that, Namor looked to his way to freedom and walked towards it now.
As he walked towards the item in question, looking at the being in question and it was making Namor smile, walking over to the way out, he had wondered what it was that he was going to see there, taking a breath, he started to walk forward, hoping at least that he was whole now as Namor went to walk into the light that was there and he had been shocked by what he saw.

Namor had snapped awake, looking around in shock at everything now and as he looked around at everything at the moment now and was confused, looking at himself now, “Namor?” Jim Hammond, his friend, had asked and hearing that, Namor smiled towards him now, “Hey there, Jim.” he said towards him right now and the Synthezoid said to him as well.
Both of them had been glad now, Namor so much so that he started to get up before his legs started to stumble now, he had almost fallen before Jim grabbed him, “Woah, buddy, you’ve been unconscious for a bit, don’t try and stand just yet.” he warned and hearing that, Namor looked at him, moving to stroke his face and feeling that there was some fuzz there.
He was surprised by that, confused on what was going on before the doors started to wake up now, making him see that there were his fellow Invaders there and a man with the rank of General, “Namor!” Zarda shouted out to him, going and hugging the Atlantean, all of them glad to see the man now awake while he wondered what had happened and why he felt so… dry right now.

Nammu had been looking at the way in that they had been designing, her , Bob and the one that had been called upon by Byrrah had been looking towards the entrance that The Moloid tribe she gathered started to dig, “We only need to send out The Moloids as a distraction with The Megataur and we’ll get Namor.” Nammu said and hearing that, the group began to nod at that.
They looked towards everything that was there before Bobo had checked on the blasters that were there, covered with the matter they gathered from her army as well as armor to make them appear almost like insectoid creatures, “We are ready when you are.” the representative that was there and seeing that, the two of them looked towards each other before they had spoken.
“Let’s get ready to go.” Nammu told them as she put the helmet on now, “[Remember, Lemurian only.]” it said and hearing that, the two of them nodded as they prepared, looking upwards now before Nammu had whistled, waking up the Megataur now and making the creature get up, hungry and ready for what he ordered as the large creature began to beat onto the entrance made the hole they needed.

10/1/1945, Fort Erskine, Teton Wilderness
The crashing of a large beast could be heard, making Namor flinch in shock right about now, looking around, he readied his fists now, going and trying to get ready now as he saw that there was strange yellow creatures with a large purple horned beast roar right now, making The Atlantean confused now as Joseph created a bubble around him, “Form up! Take them down!” Zarda shouted to them.
As the three of them started to come out, their weapons at the ready, they proceeded to fire upon the soldiers that were there, “[Find Namor, make sure that he lives.]” Bobo had ordered of the two, Bobo nodding while the representative had only aimed and shot, the humans all getting frozen in a membrane that had ben developed as a stun option, breathable and disposable.
The soldiers were firing upon The Moloids and the trio, but the plating that they had gotten from scales and the armor that they had been working with were protecting the creatures and making the trio immune, “[Get the beast in here!]” The representative ordered, making Nammu glare, but she complied by whistling now as the creature started to roar right about now.
It had snarled, looking towards everything not Moloid or Atlantean now and as he looked around, about to bite someone in a General uniform when the one called The Whizzer had swapped him out for The Power Princess, she punched him now and knocked the creature away, snarling as it went to attack her while Nammu and the other two saw Doctor Spectrum holding Namor.
“[Take out that one, we will liberate Namor that way.]” Bobo ordered as they opened fire, but The Human Torch had burned the gel away now and with that, the group looked towards everything that was there and as he glared at them with the comrades that were there had come at the ready now, “[Switch to concussive rounds.]” The representative ordered and none of them argued.
They went and opened fire upon them now, Skymax went to become a beast like them, leaping forward as Nammu had taken a knife and stabbed him with it, “[Imperius Rex!]” She shouted towards Namor, as the prince heard that, he paused, Lemurians don’t use that phrase, the only person he knows that speaks Lemurian and would have the audacity to do so would be Nammu.
Angry, he wanted to shout at her as Bobo had leapt onto The Human Torch, he was used to heat, he was used to fire, and he was not going to be taken down by his heat at the moment as The Atlantean looked towards Doctor Spectrum, “[Are you going to help, cousin, or are you going to let us do all the work?!]” he shouted towards them and hearing that, Joseph looked towards him.
“You know these things?!” He asked Namor and hearing that, the Prince decided to lie so that they didn’t try to war with Atlantis, “They are Crustakkar, Crab–Men from The Under–Earth!” he shouted towards them, making the three give a look now before they went and fired shots, as they did so, each one that made contact started to make a small explosion now.
Seeing that, they started to get away from there as quickly as they possibly could now, looking at everything right now before he started to struggle right about now, looking at everything with some worry at everything until there was an explosion which was making him get more and more worried at the sight of it all as The Doctor started to lose his focus, causing the bubble to break down now.
Looking over it all right now before Namor started to fall down, he was a bit nervous, looking around at everything before The three of them went to grab at the man now, picking him up, “[Let’s go!]” Nammu shouted towards him and hearing that, The Moloids who had been fighting looked towards them now and as their started to move, The three of them retreated, “Namor!” Jim Hammond shouted towards him.
But Namor only made it look like he was struggling, he followed after them, the man getting a bit more and more nervous at everything going on until they had gotten down, “I’ll get my way out!” he shouted towards them as it was sealed, Namor looked to the trio as they both started to aim towards the hole now before they went to spray a different ammunition there, making sure that there was a sealed hole.
There was already a bit of thumping there now, Zarda and the others were trying to get through, “Alright, let’s hurry.” he told the three as they removed their helmets, looking towards each other before they started to move, “Come on, it’s a while till we get to Alaska.” Bobo said towards him, all of them starting to move before Nammu gave one last look towards The Moloids before they saluted, “It was an honor.”
Seeing that, The Moloids had done the same, the creatures going back to their village while the three of them started to move, at least until they saw that there was the Megataur, giving them a bit of a confused noise before they started to move now, making the woman sigh before looking back to them, “Alright then, let’s go.” Namor said as all four started to walk now.

Cass had been sitting by the water right now and as he did so, the girl started to look towards everything that was there when one of the servants that were there when one of the servants had started to walk towards her, “A letter from the publishing company.” he told her, making Cass smile as she went to grab at the item in question and tore it open, looking over the information there.
She started to look over everything that was there before smiling as she saw how there was an acceptance there which made her smile wider at the sight now, looking over everything before the girl saw that they wanted to publish the story, smiling at the sight, she had smiled towards the images that were there before getting up, “Lizzie!” she shouted towards the group.
They started to look towards her now as she started to run towards them, “They wanna make it a book!” she shouted with a smile now, making them look at her as she went to get the notebook she was working on, flipping through the pages, “I wanna go make more!” she told them and hearing that, her parents look towards the scene that was there and it made them curious.
“So… you wish to be a writer?” he father asked, making them both look towards him and then towards the images that were there and looking over everything that was there before seeing how they looked like that boy Bobo and Namor, “It looks like we’ll need to talk about.” The group there started to think right about now as Cass smiled towards them, especially the image of Bobo.
He had been described by her sister and as they looked it over, she saw his ponytail, his kind eyes and the fact that he had a bit of mischief in his eyes which made the girl like his image more and more every time that she bothered to look at it and as she did so today, the couple had went to grab at the book, but she kept it away from them at the moment.
“This is mine.” she told them and hearing that, the couple got a bit concerned right about now before they started to move now, looking towards her before the pair of them started to walk away now and as they did so, the couple started to get a bit more worried and a bit more annoyed by it all before they started to think and then plan on how they would deal with this more… independent side to her.

The people of New Canaan had been celebrating that was there when Cass had started to dance with her older sister, making her smile towards everything that was there before she had been tapped on the shoulder by Phillip and seeing that, Cass smiled as she went to go and grab his hand as both of them started to dance with each other right about now.
They had been laughing and having some fun right now and as they did so, Phillip had went ahead and pecked her on the cheek, making Cass pause, looking towards him before she smiled and pecked him on the cheek, “Thank you!” Cass told him before she pulled him close, “We’re going to be together forever, right?” Phillip hadasked of Cass now.
That made her pause, a bit surprised by that statement, but she complied with a nod and a smile right about now before the girl had went to leave, at least until she had felt her wrist grabbed now, seeing that, Cass raised an eyebrow, but she had decided to listen to that as both of them started to get a bit closer and play a little more with each other for the moment at least.

The group had been looking towards each other right about now, the group all starting to share some water with each other, making sure that they were rationing right about now and as they started to do so, the Prince gave a look, “Why are we walking?” he asked of them, making Nammu give a look, “Because a man had been hunting that tribe I gathered.” she warned towards him.
“We had to abandon them and go quietly.” she said towards them with Bobo leaning back, him and Nammu having rolled up their sleeves to reveal their tattoos, “Who are Magni and Modi?” Namor asked of her, making Nammy take a breath, “My children.” she explained towards him and hearing that, Namor started to think that there was MUCH more that they needed to catch up right now.

The two of them were looking at everything that was there before Cass smiled, “Are we gonna be having fun?” she asked of Phillip who nodded, “Yep! We’re gonna have the kind of fun that my mom and dad talked about.” he said towards them, revealing that there was a table that was there, on it was a plate of meals there which made the girl smile as she sat on a chair he pulled out.
Cass started to taste the food that was there the moment he did so, Phillip watched her and as he did so, she looked towards him, “This is really good! Did you make it?” she asked of him, making Phillip nod, “Yeah, mom always said the way to anyone’s heart was their stomach.” he told her and hearing that, Cass smiled, “She’s right.” she told him now.
That made the boy smile a bit wider towards that right about now as he went to watch her, “How about we go dancing afterwards?” he asked, making Cass smile, “I like dancing.” she told him and hearing that, Phillip smiled, glad that they were dressed up now for the date right about now as the two of them started to get up and began to circle, dancing the night away now.
The two of them were enjoying everything, they were young at the moment, they were as happy as clams now, but as Cass looked towards him, she also remembered how the young man had told her about things like the stories she had were silly and how she shouldn't keep believing in them, but as she recalled all those tales, Cass decided that the truth would just be for her and Liz instead.

The group had been exhausted right now from hiding from some sort of… ogre? They didn’t really know what it was, but what they did know was that they were weakened from their water rationing and heat and they needed to be more careful of everything that was around them now, “We need to find a reservoir.” the fourth of their group said and hearing that, none of them could really argue with that.
They started to look around at everything that was there before Bobo had started to look for anything that had some moisture, “Why didn’t we put a cooling system in these things?” Bobo asked in the uniforms that were from underneath their armor which they needed right now, “It’s because we planned to use the Snake, but Tyrannus blocked that way off.” the woman told them.
That made the Prince a bit surprised by that before he started to stretch right now, “You’ve been here a while.” he said towards him and hearing that, the woman had shrugged, “I’ve been here planning that escape for a while.” she said towards him and hearing that, the others were a bit curious about of that right now as they started to head further back to the surface.

7/18/1946, Alaska Entrance, Subterranea
The four of them had finally reached it now and as they did so, The Atlanteans started to get a bit more exhausted, looking around at everything that was there and as they did so, Namor sat down at the entrance, relieved at everything that was there before he looked towards the three, “And this was the only way for us to get me home?” he asked of them and hearing that, the third nodded.
“Yes… sadly, we could not trust them to not try and use our biology against us.” the third had said towards them, looking towards the group, Nammu sighed as she went to get the gear ready, “We can apologize to The Invaders later, but for now, we’re going to talk to The King.” they ordered and hearing that, the Prince took a breath, annoyed by that, but he started to get up now.
Bobo and Nammu started to work with the clothing that they had, “We set up a cabin here, The Summers family gave us a nice deal on rent here.” Bobo had explained and hearing that, Namor take a breath right now as both of them started to get dressed, the crustacean armor shedded at the moment as the third had aimed his weapons towards them, “Apologies.” he told them.
That made the three of them look at he had a new form of ammunition that was there, “But Prince Byrrah had ordered your death.” the third said, going to open fire upon him and as he did so, Namor had leapt forward, but it wasn’t with his usual strength, he had barely hit his legs, knocking him down and making the shot wild now which made the two of them move now as fast as they could.
All three of them were able to stop this, taking the weapon and holding them down now, they gave a look towards the Atlantean, “They threatened my family.” the Atlantean said and hearing that, the three of them looked towards each other before eventually Namor came to a decision, “Grab your family, run to Lemuria, and Tali will help you, understood?” Nammu asked of them.
That made the Atlantean nod and seeing that, the group gave relieved looks as they went to head upwards now, “It may take a little while before we get there, but you’re going to go home soon.” Bobo told him and hearing that, the Prince smiled as he started to get dressed as well, “Let’s go home.” he told the group and hearing that, the four Atlanteans started to head home now.
