I call this Last Desperate Attempt
______________________________
Kuria shot gracefully into the jetstream. He welcomed the warm, friendly current, even in his riskiest moment. He looked above. There were still three cruisers adjacent to him, each with deadeye crossbowman on the port bow. He looked into the depths. The reef was beautiful; a vibrant explosion of colors flashed in his eyes. There were many coral caves he could hide in, but they would be easily shattered by their mines. The rocky outlet was quickly approaching, and he would have to dive under the cruisers to get past, which would obviously spell death. His options were running out. He decided to turn back and head to a shale cave he knew of about a half mile back.
He quickly jutted back and dove into deeper water. He was thrown into the quicker, colder current and launched forward. The familiar blasting sound echoed in his mind, leaving him barely able to think. He carefully bent his head sideways, careful not to let it loose and snap his neck. The cruisers were amazingly keeping up with him, slightly gaining a few hundred feet back. The cave was coming up on his right. He took long strides and pushed out, twirling down and into the cave. He finally got inside, and pulled himself up on the rock. His gills close and he started breathing, and he sat down to rest.
After several minutes, he was about to go out and check the waters for more of them, when he saw a faint but powerful light in the water. He put his head in, and saw a strange man-shaped suit with an electric light inside. He knew Camao's wizards were cunning, but this was ridiculously clever. Suddenly, the "man" raised his arm. Kuria was confused; what type of weapon could shoot successfully-let alone fatally-underwater? He decided he wasn't going to wait to find out, he already learned that they were capable of unthinkable, in more ways than one could imagine. He climbed up on a rocky ledge, and as he crouched down behind a rock, giant bubbles followed by the suit surfaced. The dome of glass opened, and steam billowed out. Kuria still had a few dozen power charges left, and he readied his mind. An extremely large man came out, fully armored in the newest of Camao's gear. Including a charge stunner, which wiped any charges Kuria had left. He realized that he would have to fight hand-to-hand, so he jumped up and used one mana blast on the man's weapons. It shattered, and his sidearm was blown into the water. The man immediately used his helmet to swipe Kuria's power charges, and Kuria felt it seconds after. Nontheless, he jumped down and clumsily made his webbed fingers into fists. He hated doing this with his hands, they were used to being open, ready to fire off a charge. He and his opponent locked eyes.
The man was the first to strike. He heaved his massive fist forward, and Kuria immediately grabbed his upper arm and shoulder and heaved back for all he was worth. The man stumbled and his helmet hit a rock, shattering the glass and cracking the metal down the center. He took it off and tossed it into the ocean. This foe was no ordinary man, he is a class 4 berserker, and from his face he had definitely been enchanted. His mission was only to find and kill Kuria. Kuria new this was probably the end of him. Non the less, he made fists again, and started a flurry of punches. His hands and muscles were small, but they were extremely powerful, and he left his foe dazed. As soon as he came to, he reached for Kuria's neck. Kuria quickly dodged. This man was powerful, but he was surely clumsy. Kuria new he couldn't keep this up forever, as these berserkers would soon learn their opponent's advantages and crush them. Kuria glanced into the water, and saw a line of more of those suits and lights. He knew he would be killed either way. The man finally caught him offguard and delivered a powerful uppercut right into Kuria's jaw. He stumbled to the right, seeing stars. Then he came to and saw the berserker charging forth. He dove between his legs and extended the claw of his index finger. He turned and quickly stabbed his opponent in the lower back. He roared in pain, then turned around and stared Kuria in the face. His eyes shone red with rage, and he roared as he grabbed Kuria by the neck. This time he was not quick enough, He gripped the mans arm, but it was no use. The berserker tossed him at the stone wall as if he were a sack of flour. Kuria could not find himself to stand, so the berserker helped him up by the neck. He held him against the wall and started punching. Kuria saw his blood and teeth flying left and right, and soon his vision was very blurry. Sound diminished, and all he heard was the sound of the ocean calling him back from where he came. In between hits, he murmured, "I will return, mother."
Finally, the berserker held Kuria towards the water and punched him in the gut into the air above the water. The last thing Kuria saw was a fish. Not a colorful fish, not a bland fish. It was just a regular fish. Time slowed down, and the fish seemed to look at him and smile, if that was how fish smiled. Kuria smiled too, then fell into the water and was impaled through the torso and head by the bolts of a crossbow.
It was finally finished. Camao had defeated the last of the guardians, leaving no one else in his path.
