Unfortunate

Lucifer started moving towards the island of his destination. There were two more islands between his current one and the one he is heading towards. After moving to shore he started swimming in the direction of the island. A thought crossed his mind and he wondered how he covered that much distance without getting wet or even knowing. His swimming speed was fast, at which he was, once again, astonished.

He wasn't worried about drowning or some other mishaps happening, despite being the fact that he, before being used as experimental subject, at age of seventeen didn't know how to swim.

'It seems that the idea that I had at that time has some credibility to it.' Thought Lucifer.

After reaching the first island that was on his way, he used it as a resting point because he still wasn't completely used being in this body, thus got tired quickly. After getting a short nap he resumed toward his destination. His journey until now was quite peaceful. He stopped for a rest at second island too. There was quite a distance between second island and his destination.

He started swimming again. When he was halfway there, he felt some movements in the water behind him. He turned around to see big fish with shark like teeth biting on another fish which was about half of its size, while also being already half eaten with more bones showing then flesh. Just as he was sizing up that fish, the fish also noticed him, seeing this Lucifer didn't wait to see the fish's reaction and started swimming as fast as possible.

Seeing him turning to run, the fish also stopped eating the already half eaten food and started chasing the human which has some black rock like skin but was hardly noticeable. The speed of the fish was much faster than what Lucifer imagined. He could feel the ripples under water getting stronger and stronger. The fish was already beneath him by the time Lucifer barely covered about 7 meters.

Feeling the jaws of the fish coming nearer, the feeling of urgency, to get away faster, started growing in his heart and just when his body was half in fish's jaw and the fish was about to close its mouth, something familiar clicked in his heart which he felt. After that he doesn't know who or why he felt the world slowing down and neither does he had the time to think about that. He was just trying his best to swim faster and reach the island.

The fish closing its mouth and not finding the taste of blood which it expected, turned to look at where its prey was supposed to be. Hearing the splashing of water and seeing the disturbance its prey, which was quite distance by now, created in water when fleeing from it, at first got stunned. Realizing that its prey was getting away, it started swimming at full speed.

When he got at quite a distance from his predator, after swimming at a faster speed he thought he could, he looked back to see whether the fish was still chasing him or not. What he saw made him wish that he could start running on water, which he couldn't, so he again started swimming at his fastest speed, which he still had no idea where he got from.

The fish was closing in on him and this time much faster. Fortunately, he was somehow able keep himself at a safe distance with his newfound speed. But as he was about a meter away from the shore of the island, his newfound speed betrayed him, and he so got tired that his eyelids almost closed there and then. But he, with his extraordinary 'Willpower' he kept on going.

As for the fish it got the chance, when its prey suddenly stopped moving, it was waiting for and using its fastest speed it pounced at its prey.

Just when he reached the shore and was almost on it, with a 'splash' from the water a fish about ten meters long, head resembling hammerhead shark, and extra pair of fins with horn in the middle of its head, jumped out and bite on right arm. The fish jumped about four meters high into the air with Lucifer's arm in its mouth, that was torn off from his body while, due to the momentum, Lucifer was thrown from the water to the shore where it was starting. And with another 'splash', it dived back into the water, but not before giving him a look which looked like was full of disdain.

Lucifer, on the other hand, didn't have the time to be surprised about the look the 'advanced' hammerhead gave him as he was laying on sand with a distorted look because of pain. His body was feeling heaver then what he ever lifted due to being tired adding the pain he was feeling from his broken arm. His mind blanked and he fainted.
