Vault Hunters (Finished~)

- Moss Adamaris -​

Moss didn't answer immediately. He stared at Isa distantly, thinking. Coming to terms with what he wanted to do the moment he realized someone was going to take Isa and possibly drown him. Alloy needed to die of course. But was Moss going to do the same thing that got him banished and gave his sister so much grief by starting another war by killing a diplomat from another kingdom?

And what stunned Moss and frightened him at the same time was how readily he thought: Yes. Yes I will risk war for Isa. And he wondered why hadn't he learned his lesson? Why was he so selfish? And then he realized that he hadn't changed. He will still do what makes him happy over others.

"Do you want to go back into the goliath? And then threaten them with the goliath? We can take over a kingdom by ourselves I think, if killing Alloy will make his king mad."

Alarmed by the silence, Isa reached out with two of his tentacles, sticking them on his cheek and chin. Similarly to how he would normally cup his face ever so tenderly. Indigo eyes staring back into Moss’ teal ones. Finally he signed but it wasn’t something Isa expected from him. Then again . . .

No. This is his normal reaction to Isa’s life being in danger, isn’t it? Now that he thought about it, Moss always wanted certain people to die. Not the innocent, but the ones who caused the most trouble. He wanted Manuel to die, but didn’t due to respecting his wishes. He killed two sirens in order to protect him. And now . . . Alloys has to go in his mind. However there’s more to this than meets the eye, Isa feels. There were certain things that didn’t make sense. Like how did he know that the key is missing this quickly? Only about two to three days passed and yet, Alloys knew about Isa not being in their clutches anymore already.

From what he understands, there isn’t any sort of technology that can send messages outside of their realms. So what’s going on?

”Moss, need to think this through.” Isa signed back. “What happens if they threaten your sister? Or the people they imprisoned?”

When Isa reached out, Moss wanted to protect him even more. He smooched his lips in between his little indigo eyes and nuzzled hard.

He sighed out bubbles. Right, his sister. "So we don't kill him immediately. Maybe we capture him, interrogate him, free Thera and then maybe she and Seirus can think of something. I'm not good at politics stuff, but I still won't let him have a chance to hurt you." he looked at him determinedly. " . . . If it gets really bad, he's dead . . . So . . . are you good with the plan of getting him first, question him a bit, bring him with us, and then get Thera?"

Isa immediately nuzzled back, closing his eyes when Moss kissed his head before blinking owlishly.

Patting his cheek comfortingly, thinking that Moss is worried for his sister too, Isa nodded. Kidnapping Alloys would work, political or not. “That’s okay with me. I think he might know something about the other kingdom too. The one that Seirus and Thera visited after the war.”

It took about a few more minutes for Aurora to come back with Moss’ disguise: it was the head butler’s assistant outfit which consisted of golden shells and pearls to decorate his waist as a belt of sorts. Along with an olivine. “This is empty, I don’t know if this will help but the disguise should work. I’ve already told the head butler about someone helping us out with the situation and swore to keep quiet. He doesn’t know it’s you though.” She signed, spotting the octopus to be on his head again and hugging his horn. Then she told him where Alloys’ room is; it’s where visiting politicians stay in, on the second top level. First level being his sister’s and the king’s room. She also told him of who and where the prisoners are.

“Stay safe, you two... three.” She corrected, spotting the slow bouncing sea bunny on Moss’ shoulder.

"Alright." Moss sighed bubbles again and looked at Isa, resisting the urge to ask him to go back to the goliath. Bringing him to his fear was something, bringing him to someone who wants to use him was something else. He wanted oh so much to go back to Leor and just keep Isa in some mountain somewhere where he'd be safe, maybe with Liliana in the Chronosphere or Leonid and Vidya. But Isa wants to be here with him to help him.

Moss didn't know what the right answer was. He knew it wasn't his place to decide where Isa should go or not, but he still couldn't help but worry.

He sighed bubbles again, this time just squaring himself for the reality that he can't make Isa not come with him. He will come, even if Moss didn't want him to. And so he spent the rest of the time waiting just discussing plans and possible scenarios and what they could do in case it happened.

When Aurora came back, Moss donned the belt and cast the illusion that turned him into the head butler's assistant. He also asked Aurora to tell the real assistant to get out of the palace in case he gets accused for what Moss was going to do. He also asked Aurora if she could possibly just take the day off today, or have an excuse to go out, her and the head butler, just to be safe, in case it gets dangerous in the palace.

"Thank you, Aurora." Moss bowed to her. Showing her respect for the first time. "And . . . er . . . I'm sorry for being a real pain in the tail bone before." he nodded awkwardly. "Thank you for trying to make me a better merman."

And with that, Moss set off with Octo-Isa and bunny- Okami trying to act like an urgent messenger, and headed straight up to Alloy's room.

Aurora agreed to Moss’ suggestion. “Of course. I’ll take the head butler and assistant with me too.” She signed before freezing. Eyes wide in surprise by the sentiment before smiling warmly; like a newly proud mother or sister. Then she quickly rubbed her blueing face and faced him with a big grin. ”It’s okay. I forgive you.” She signed.

Then she slipped away to find the two merfolk that’s coming with her to town, saying that she needs a few more ingredients to buy.

At first the guards were alarmed of Moss’ presence but seeing the belt around his waist and the olivine made them relax a bit. Leaving him alone as he swam without much trouble. The castle seemed normal, stayed the same as he remembered but the water smog was too much. It came from the guest rooms, where he can guess that’s where the other aristocratic sirens are staying in. More further down would he be able to find Alloys’ room, he could tell since there’s a golden plaque with his name on it——

Isa signed that this siren has an ego. The other sirens didn‘t have that and Moss knew that his sister would‘t allow that either. The doors seemed to be covered in algae too, unkept and wildly long.

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -​

Wow. Those words. It surprised Moss to feel how much that I forgive you just . . . granted him peace. He wanted to hear those words again very much. To Aurora, the look on his face spoke of how much he wasn't used to it, but his smile was brighter. Moss just nodded, not knowing how to respond.

What he'd been fearing was actually not happening.

With that he and Isa went on their way, and breathed a sigh of relief when the guards let him pass.

Moss scrunched his nose at the murky browness from the rooms. These sirens were like fungi, they made everything rot. And when they reached their destination, Moss just nodded at Isa with a deadpan. Gold plaque, how dare he, even Thera doesn't have such a thing, and after whatever he's doing to Moss' sister too.

Moss steeled himself. Once more he coaxed Isa into his hands. He kissed him between the eyes. "I will keep you safe. Please stay behind my neck for now, my love. I won't let him do anything to you."

And with a nervousness that was more for Isa than himself, Moss announced himself the way servants did and swished his tail at the bottom of the door where there were patterned c-shaped holes ribbed with something that looked like tough gills or maybe a comb of bones? The moment the wave of water passed through the ribbing, they vibrated, creating a dull distant hum.

"Chaire, a message, O' Alloy." said Moss in a younger and casual voice.

Spoiler: Music

Once Isa sat on Moss’ hands, he closed his eyes as warm lips pressed on his forehead. Taking a moment to relax as he fluttered his eyes to see his beau signing. “Okay, but let me help when ya need it!” He signed back before crawling up his arm, shoulder, and clung onto the back of his neck. Hidden behind the long locks. He only listened to whatever that’s happening around him.

They waited for a minute. Then Moss got his reply back from the ribbing, though oddly aggressive. It was a louder hum. “Come in.”

The doors opened, the smoggy water just expanded, darkening the room as chunks of rot floated about. Similarly to dust bunnies and cob webs in Leor, the rot seemed to enjoy the corners of the dirtied room. However, the octopus noticed a subtle hint of blue light among the smog.

Isa peeked from behind Moss’ neck and noticed the familiar machines that were spread across. The one that caught his attention the most is the biggest one; an artificial heart made of gold and iron. Thick pipes jutting out and went through the ceiling. Pumping something out in one tube while the more thin tube is sucking something else back in to function. With familiar runes on the rotating rings that Moss would remember seeing from the ruins back in Isa’s homeland, where he was gifted by his beau’s ancestor. There was some sort of blue flames swirling gently beneath it, held by a stand as it heated up the heart machine; a sight that Isa never thought possible underwater until he realized that there was a translucent air bubble around it. There, sitting on said stand, was an elderly siren.

However he seemed crooked. His lower jaw pushed to the side, one of his arms was missing, there were many scars on his face and yet he was covered in gold. Gold jewelry, gold decorative flakes attached to his scales, gold knife attached to that gold belt. When he faced Moss, the couple can see that he is missing an eye, replaced by a golden orb. The sight of this siren made the octopus hide again. Now cautious. Alloys smiled wide as he waved Moss to come in. “Come in~ don’t be afraid~ I don’t bite-“ He spoke gruffly. Then he chomped on the air as if that was playful; it was more threatening with that predatory smirk. “Much~”

"Alright." Moss nodded. Despite his fears for him, he loved Isa more and more for facing them with him, and pecked him as he passed his shoulder.

Moss schooled his face as best as he can to look like he was used to seeing the room and this evil siren before him, and promptly approached.

"A message from the border, O' Alloy." he presented the olivine, while, beneath his illusion, his other hand gripped his sealing dagger at the ready.

Alloys wiggled a bit before hopping out of the bubble to shortly swim towards the disguised Moss, keeping his eyes on the olivine. “I see~“

He reached out-

Isa peeked out-

ALLOYS AIMED FOR HIS NECK-

Suddenly, a little red octopus sped out of his hiding spot, wanting to ink him. Only to be knocked back with ink spurting out in plumes, shielding Moss’ neck. The siren hissed as he felt something squishy hit his clawed hand, retracting it back in case he got stung.

Then the little octopus poofed. Revealing a red headed land walker, covering his bleeding eye with a gloved hand.

- Moss Adamaris -​

Moss' eyes went wide. He swung his dagger up, it missed. He tackled Alloys, moving in between him and Isa, as his illusion dropped. This wasn't the plan. Isa wasn't supposed to show. Moss' entire body was tingling with alarm, but then battle instincts quickly took over and Atlantean runes swirled up Moss' arms, his daggers hummed, sheathed with a pulsing teal glow, and he slashed Alloys' arm with his second kunai.

Moss looked back at Isa. He can see his face just screaming at him to run or hide or something, but Moss didn't say anything and snapped his attention back at Alloys.

- Battle -

Alloys backed away, his hand stinging from the nick of a knife. He was about to swim away when suddenly he froze. Smelling a delicious scent within the waters. He can taste it. That mouth water taste of land walker blood . . . It’s not normal either. Ohhh, he can taste the manna within, this land walker is special.

‘He snapped his head back up, staring right at Isa who is looking back at Moss with a worried look. The redhead didn’t want to leave Moss. No, never! It only took him a quick second to realize that a looming shadow is racing towards him, causing the redhead to grit his teeth and brace himself. Grappling the bloodthirsty siren who is smiling too widely for his comfort, being pushed back and pinned to the floor.

Whenever Alloys aimed for his neck, Isa would head butt him. Making him miss.

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -​

Suddenly, Alloys head was yanked back, as a golden edged dagger thrust through his throat. Moss hauled the siren off, roaring, throwing him away in a cloud spiral of blood. Moss hands were immediately cupping Isa's face, checking him all over anxiously. "Isa . . . Isa . . . "

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

- Isa Bianchi -

As the trail of blood followed the now dead siren, Isa flinched at Moss’ touch. Dilated yellow eyes stared back at worried teal ones, shaken as the adrenaline started to kick in. The merman can see a cut on his left brow, so close to his eye, and should he lift Isa’s shirt, a new bruise on his back. Realizing who’s touching him, the redhead relaxed and sighed out as he nuzzled into Moss’ hands. Cupping one of them with his own.

“I’m okay. I’m okay . . .” Isa muttered quietly, his voice trembling. He leaned up to gently nuzzle their foreheads together. “I’m okay.”

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -​

"Okay, okay." Moss breathed out so many bubbles. Runes swirled up his arms and Alloys and the cloud of blood growing around him was encased in a water current, preventing it from spreading further. Then Moss quickly took out a trauma kit from his bag and started patching Isa up, collecting any spilled cloud of blood he could spot in a swirling red current. His hands were shaking.

Meanwhile, a little white fluffy sea bunny floated over to Isa's cheek and stuck there. He can feel it lightly nibbling.

"So . . . not according to plan . . . but . . . maybe I can turn him into a sea snail, bring him back to Seirus, and can you talk to him with that talking to the dead magic you have?"

- Isa Bianchi -

As Moss tried his best to contain the blood, Isa took deep breaths, hiccuping a bit when he remembered he was underwater. He is trying to not start screaming, to not stop breathing, to relax despite his fear of drowning messing with him. The redhead flinched again when Moss got close to him again, taking slow and deep breathes as he patched him up. Probably to stop the bleeding. Sirens love his blood.

The redhead realized just how dangerous it is to be a land walker while underwater and so close to sirens. Man eating sirens.

”Hm!” Isa flinched when he felt something landing on his cheek and nibbling him. His yellow eyes peeked down to see a fluffy sea bunny . . . Okami. Poor thing must have been scared. He reached up and gently petted the sea bunny while staring at Moss silently. He nodded at the plan, signing with a single shaking hand. “Y-yeah. L-let’s leave soon.”

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -​

"Yeah." With one last dab of a healing salve across Isa's brow, Moss checked Isa one last time to make sure he didn't miss anything, and then gently hugged him. He nuzzled his forehead. His heart was still beating faster than usual.

Drawing back, Moss cupped his face. The things he wanted to say but didn't were still on his face. There was even regret there, as his yes looked at the wound on Isa's brow. He was struggling to choose what to say. Finally he just sighed bubbles and kissed Isa just letting his worry, relief, protectiveness, and fear out. "Let's . . . let's get back to Leor as soon as possible."

And with that, Moss froze all the blood into two chunks of ice, then turned Alloys into a still bleeding sea snail and froze him too before pocketing him. He asked for Isa's help searching the chamber for any olivine or any information they could use, before Moss cast his shadowy spell that encased them in darkness that blended with the murky water and then started making their way out of the palace.

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

- Isa Bianchi -

Even when he didn’t say it, Isa can tell what Moss wants to say. So he nuzzled and kissed him back, wanting to reassure him, comfort him, and silently asking for comfort in return. “Yeah.” He agreed. “Let’s finish this quick then.”

He took another deep breathe and started searching for information.

As he went through the files of written seaweed, coral, and rocks, the redhead discovered that this machine was not originally the sirens’ idea. “Theosebia gave them the idea, saying that she will support the sirens if they brought her . . . The crystal heart.” He signed before reading some more. It seemed like she had more plans in case her plan in Barad Eithel didn‘t work. Manuel gave them the tools and equipment they needed to create this machine that’s supposed to absorbed the crystal’s energy to create a large portal connecting them to Barad Eithel. However the sirens found out that they needed a key and Alloys heard from one of his contacts in Leor that the key is actually a human named Isa. He is the key to an old ruins. A ruin much more older than most would be able to remember within their merfolk’s lifespan.

The sirens searched in many ruins, however none of them fit the description that Manuel gave them; the ruins of Larimar. The sirens suspected that the Queen has hidden the crystal there somehow, but before they could look into her thoughts, the Queen purposefully erased that memory. However that didn’t explain as to why the sirens were populating Atlantis or why they were taking the crystal shards from the people.

Isa huffed as he got closer to Moss, letting himself be shrouded in shadow. The couple has left the barren room and made their way out.

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -​

Moss took one more moment to tightly, but still gently, hug Isa again. He swayed, caressing his back, before cupping his cheek, nuzzling his forehead, and then nodding at finishing this quick.

What Isa discovered made him furious. How far did these villains' reach go? Even after death? Moss collected these information in his bag. Perhaps Thera can use them to show all merfolk Alloys and the sirens true colors. Maybe that will prevent retribution against Moss' sister and people for what Moss did today.

Moss waited for Isa to become an octopus again and swim behind his nape, then went out and stealthily made his way back to the rebel base.

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

- Isa Bianchi -

As Isa transformed into an octopus and swam to Moss’ neck, he cuddled Okami. Just wanting to forget while Moss sneaked out.

When they reached the rebel base, the couple can hear others slapping their tails on coral and rocks as swirling colorful ink invaded the waters. The redhead can see words like ‘what will happen?’ And ‘we should drive them out.’ It seems there was a serious conversation with everyone at the base, frantic in their words, and desperate to go back home. However it has stopped when suddenly icy blue letters explained his plan; Seirus.

‘My People. Don’t fret. Our plan is undergoing at this very second. All you good folks need to focus on is our weapons to drive the sirens out once and for all. We won’t let you down.’

Moss would find out that everyone is at the central part of the base, the part where everyone made their markets to sell and create things for others. It’s easier for the couple to sneak in Seirus’ place which is much further north of the base. ‘We should go, Love.’ Isa signed. The captain is probably waiting for Moss and Isa to return.

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -​

Moss, who had been so engrossed in escaping, quickly shifted into his illusory disguise again the moment he spotted other merfolk. He nodded at Isa, then sneaked back inside Seirus' den.

After rolling the shell door close, he bubbled out a sigh of relief. He and Isa were finally safe. He waved a glowing white hand, and the water around them withdrew, leaving a pocket of humid salty air that was still cold, but at least warmer than the wall of water around them. "Are you okay, Isa?" he took out the ever warm hot water bottle and placed it on his shoulder in case Isa wanted to rest there.

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

- Isa Bianchi -

When Moss created the air pocket, did Isa undo the transformation spell, and immediately hugged Moss tightly. “. . . I’ll be okay.” He muttered quietly before leaning back a bit, sprout wilting. His now indigo eyes stared back at teal ones before he lowered them, softly frowning. Then he perked up at the sight of the warm water bottle, smiling a bit as he held onto it close to his chest. Wanting to stay warmer than the waters and took a deep breathe.

”Are ya okay?” Isa asked after being quiet for a few seconds, tenderly bumping their foreheads together.

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -​

Moss hugged Isa tightly and didn't let go even when Isa leaned back a bit. He followed him and hugged him even tighter.

"I was scared." Moss whispered, closing his eyes and calming down with the nuzzles. He sighed, caressing Isa's cheek before running his fingers through wet red hair. Water came away in slow floating arcs, as Moss combed him.

In his mind replayed the battle. A red dart shooting in front of Alloys, Isa getting swated trailing ink, poofing back to himself, Moss thinking he lost an eye. That siren's predatory gleam. Trying to eat Isa. Back there he had brought Isa to a whole palace of what literally were piranhas to humans.

"In land, I'm not so worried, because you are much more capable than I am. But here in the waters . . ." Why did Isa come out? To protect him. But he didn't want to blame him for that. But he almost died. But Moss still couldn't tell him: don't come with me anymore.

Moss was taking a while to find his words.

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

- Isa Bianchi -

Hearing Moss’ fear, Isa not just nuzzled, he cupped his cheeks, and placed comforting kisses all over his face too. Cooing with furrowed brows. “I’m okay though. Scared, but okay! A bit cut, but okay! It’s not the first time that someone looked at me like I was food.”

If he really wanted to remember, Theosebia tried to eat him too. Though her hunger was out of hate while Alloys was….actual hunger.

He didn’t know what was worse: hate or hunger.

Though he wished he could calm Moss’ worry—-not possible, Isa concluded. The only way he believed Moss would calm down is them going back to Leor, but they had to help his beau’s sister! It’s his sister! Isa couldn’t leave Moss alone, he promised he wouldn’t leave his side. Dangerous or not.

Isa stayed quiet for a moment before leaning in again to hug him tightly, squeezing him. “ . . . Take your time, love.” He cooed. “I can wait.”

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- Moss Adamaris -​

"I know." Moss cupped his cheek, actually chuckling from all the kisses. His shoulders relaxed. "I wish they didn't look at you as food." then he smiled. " Even though you are a sweet cinnamon roll."

Moss hugged him back.

" . . . You'd never wanna just stay inside the goliath or go back to Leor yourself, right?"
