CH 12: The Search for the Kraken (E3)

(A/N: I'ma be honest, I actually like Argost more than the main characters beside Drew. Bro has so much charisma! He's not rude or over the top like other villains, he's seriously a gentleman. Just an evil one. I seriously cheer for him and hope he wins whenever he shows up.

Also, the animators and writers knew what they were doing with having Drew tied and hung by her legs spread in the air in episode 21, my guys. ಠ⁠◡⁠ಠ)

"Alright, everyone, hop on!" The submarine pulled up, and Drew opened the entrance to invite everybody in. "Alright, let's go." Zak smiled, Fisk saying something excitedly. "Whoa, an actual submarine!" Smiling excitedly, Ben quickly rushed in.

"Let's go!" Gwen urged Alistair, who raised an amused eyebrow :"I thought you didn't want to come fishing." Causing her to roll her eyes :"That was before the Saturdays showed up. Do you expect me to leave all the fun and the trip in a submarine to just you two? Tough luck. Now let's go!" And dragged Max, who was holding the fishing rods and the baits.

"Alright, I guess." He shrugged, following after them. "You're a lot calmer than your cousins, huh?" Drew standing beside the door smiled as she closed the door. Alistair smiled :"Nah, I am excited. I'm just not one to lose myself easily, I guess."

"Hahahaha. Well, it's a good thing to have a clear and collected head on your shoulders." She patted his head, walking in. The closeness of dat ass to his face made his mouth dry, but he remained calm. He wasn't a freak, after all.

"*Sniff*?" When he took a deep breath to calm himself, he caught the scent of something sweet. Something he had never smelt before. Something that for some reason, he instinctively liked. "*Sniff sniff*." He smelled again, to track down where it came from.

Alistair had noticed that his senses had begun to develop and grow stronger ever since he had first woken up. He had assumed it was because of his constant transformations, and the predators in his Nemetrix having an effect on him, something beyond just affecting his instincts and psychology.

So by all means, he had expected to be able to track down the smell. But unlike what he had expected, he failed. He had expected it to be from Drew. Who wouldn't imagine her having an amazing smell? But even though she did smell good, the smell didn't originate from her. It was kind of... just in the air.

'Oh, whatever.' He shrugged to himself, deciding to focus on the inside of the submarine. It wasn't everyday that he would be inside of a submarine after all. Looking around, he was impressed at the technology. Although his intelligence was still that of a human, after consistently transforming into genius aliens with 30 digit IQs still had worked its magic into him knowing what things were and what they did.

"Whoaaa, this place is awesome!" Ben said excitedly, looking around. Gwen agreed for once. Although it was quite small for a submarine, just a mini one that fit several people inside, it was very technologically advanced.

"Well, children, be careful not to lose your footing!" Doc sat on the piloting chair, and after pressing several buttons, the walls of the submarine came down to turn the submarine into a boat.

"Now that I didn't expect to see." Gwen looked impressed. Zak smiled smugly beside her :"There's a lot of things to us you wouldn't expect to see, but you'll end up seeing."

'Hehehehe, I'll have to see if that's true with your mom.' Alistair smirked to himself. With the submarine now a boat, they had come out to enjoy the fresh air of the lake and the sight of the beautiful clean water while Doc drew the boat and Max talked with him.

"Hm?" He saw Ben trying to start a conversation with Drew. To be honest, now the entire "10 year old kid having a crush on a milf and thinking he'll be able to rizz her up" looked really cringe. Seemed like Gwen thought the same, because her side eye to Ben was wild.

Worst of all, he's been acting cringe like that for a bit. 'Goddamn it, I don't wanna be cringe, but how am I supposed to pass out on that premium milf booty?! Shit, I need to find a way to quickly grow up or something. It's not like being an actual 10 year old or acting like one is exactly fun! I wonder if I can do anything about it with the Ultimate Function in the future.'

Ben, smiling shyly :"So is there anything we know about this Kraken, Mrs Saturday?"

Drew :"Of course. We have to know something about cryptids before coming for them, after all. Apparently, sightings go back hundreds of years on this very lake. It's believed to be a myth, but so is every other cryptid that we've seen with our own eyes."

Ben :"So how are we gonna find this thing then? It hasn't been seen much for it to be considered as just a myth, right?"

Drew, smirking :"With sonars, ultrasound, and basically anything you can name that's used for finding creatures under the water."

"So this is, like, your full-time job?" Alistair joined in, receiving a glare from the hero. But he just smirked back quickly, before smiling up at the mature beauty. Marveling at how he needed to stand beside her, since standing closely in front of her would render her unable to see him thanks to her... personali... titties :"Discovering mythical creatures and venturing around the world to find them?"

Chuckling, the milf folded her arms under her voluptuous breasts, causing them to bounce a bit :"Sounds pretty fun, right? And it is, honestly. Finding marvelous beings and witnessing their beauty and amazing features that made them mythical is just fantastic!

But this job, although amazing and fun, still does have its own flaws. For example, it gets pretty dangerous sometimes too. And finding the cryptids who actively try to hide, or they're only mentioned in legends and there's not even a clue about their whereabouts, can be one massive headache."

Alistair :"But that's also part of the charm, right? It's like treasure hunting! It wouldn't be fun if you could do it easily and get over with it like it's nothing."

Drew, shrugging :"True. I guess the difficulty makes it pretty fun too, since we have to get smart with where we can find it."

Alistair :"And I guess it PAYS pays, huh? Considering the giant airship and this submarine/boat."

Drew, amused :"Hahahaha, why do you ask? Are you interested in the job, kiddo?"

Alistair, smirking :"Well, excuse me if I'd rather have a fun job like this where I can venture everywhere than have a boring office job."

"Well, I look forward to working with you, hon!" Drew laughed, patting his head in amusement. But feeling his tip quality and silky soft hair, she smiled in interest :"Oh, wow, you have such good hair, Alistair! Your hair strands are thick and healthy, and their slightly wavy type looks really good. I think you have even better hair than me. And, *sniff sniff*, your hair smells pretty nice. What brand do you use?"

"Uh... shampoo?" He smiled in confusion, causing her to laugh out loud :"Alright, alright, that was my fault. It was silly of me to ask what brands a kid uses. My bad, dear."

"Whoa! There it is!" Ben shouted, catching everybody's attention. But when what he had seen turned out to be some big wood with trash on it, he smiled awkwardly :"Oh, my bad." But the fact that he stopped Drew and Alistair's conversation made it worth it.

Drew ruffled the noiret's silky soft, enjoying the feeling of running her fingers through them for a moment, before she pulled away :"Alright, I'll leave you kids to have fun. I'll be inside to be on the lookout with Doc."

As she walked inside, Alistair side eyed the Tennyson, causing him to smirk with folded arms. He smirked back :"Oh, it's on, Tennyson. It's on." Causing a shiver to run down the teen's spine.

Ben looked away, and immediately whispered a disgusted sound :"Ew! Check that out, dude." Catching Alistair's attention. Leaning forward to get Ben out of sight, he saw Zak attempting to rizz Gwen up. His flustered face and stuttering instantly gave it away.

"Y-you know, our submarine is n-nothing compared to our airship!" He smiled the same way Alistair was smiling at his mom :"I-if you want to, I c-can show y-you around the airship and its facilities later!"

"Really?!" Gwen smiled brightly, excited to see an airship that was even more technologically advanced than the amazing submarine she was on :"I can do that? Will your parents allow it?"

"H-hmph, of course!" He smiled smugly, face a shade of red :"The airship is kind of mine too, so of course I'm allowed to let people take a look at it!" Gwen got even more excited, not even noticing the boy's advances :"Then it's a promise!"

"..." The boys looked at each other, before quickly covering their mouths to stop their laughter. Thankfully, only quiet snorts left them. Although it took much too effort to stop just at that. But besides theirs, they heard another quiet laughter.

Turning, they saw Fisk covering his laughter like them. Alistair smirked at the primate-feline cryptid :"Hey, big guy. You mind telling us what your bro's trying to do?" And in answer, Fisk made it even harder to not laugh.

He made a heart shape with his hands, and started sending kisses to the air. They couldn't hold back anymore. They broke down and started wheezing. The boys held their stomachs, including Fisk, desperately fighting for oxygen between their laughter.

Obviously, the two heard them. Zak blushed, and immediately started swinging his fist :"Screw you guys!" It was hard to figure out what they were laughing at after all. Especially with their laughter intensifying after looking at him.

While Gwen was confused, just thinking that they were being the usual idiots, Zak just looked away in annoyance. Trying to ignore the annoying laughter of the three. After a bit of laughing their hearts out, Alistair wiped the tears in his eyes and gently nudged Fisk :"Alright, you passed the vibe check, so you're cool. It's nice to meet you."

"Yeah, you're fun, Fisk!" Ben nodded, causing Fisk to flash (A/N: His di-) a bright smile while showing a peace sign. For a little while, they just hang out. With Zak and Gwen joining in too. The language barrier with Fisk got in the way a bit, but his body language made up for it somewhat. Meanwhile, the couple and the old man smiled at the children having fun.

"Alright, we're about to reach the area where the Kraken most likely lives." Doc said after driving the boat for a bit. But Drew frowned at what they saw :"Do not enter? What?" She read the sigh and the blockade blocking their way.

Stopping the boat, they all got out to see what was going on. Max hummed :"Looks official. What should we do now?" Drew frowned at Doc :"There wasn't anything about this when we were studying this place."

"Did it happen just recently then?" Her husband frowned back, and she raised an eyebrow :"And how recent do you think our research is?" He hummed thoughtfully :"Fair enough. Then what's going on?"

"Huh?" Feeling a tingling sensation in the back of his head, Alistair frowned. But something pulled his attention towards Fisk. Humming thoughtfully, he started pushing him inside, where nobody could see.

"What?" He said somewhat correctly, but his body language spoke of his confusion. Alistair shushed him :"Just stay here for a second and don't come out, alright?" And closed the door to the piloting room.

"Luxury yacht, stop right there." Just as he came out, he heard a voice that attracted everybody's attention. Looking aside, they saw another boat pulling up beside them.
