Blue Sub:The SuperSuit Chronicles

Chapter 1: "That Dark Feeling"

By The Toltec and Bojack727

.o.o.o.

The night was dark, oppressively so. The sky was overcast with grim clouds and the moon was not visible through it. It was going to be a thunderstorm…

Amonyushu knew. She was standing on top of a sea cliff looking down at the rocks below, and as she watched, she could tell it was going to be a strong one.

Though mostly human in appearance, there was a clear divergence. Amonyushu was a hybrid- unofficial scientific classification being homo-hybridae. She was cat-like in appearance, with pointed ears and shoulder length kinky hair that naturally grew in thick dark dreadlocks. The fur that covered her body was mainly various shades of gray with her hands and feet being a much darker tone.

She was not very tall, only about 5'5" (or just under 5'7" when she bothered to wear sandals). The cool night air made her shiver slightly. She rubbed her hands together and tightened the scarf around her neck. Her hair hung back due to a band she was wearing on her forehead. She was dressed in a simple heavy blue long-sleeved dress that came down around her ankles.

She had just recently turned 17, but her body lacked defined feminine curves- there would still be another year or so before she matured completely and got into her 'breeding period'. A faint blush crept over her cheeks as she thought about it. One of her sisters was already at this point, and it showed…

It had been a two years since the war ended… with the humans winning, 2 years since here papa died…

Her people took his body under the sea and buried him at the center of the Antarctic ocean just as her papa would have wanted. …A year and a half since the phantom ship was sunk by the Pacific Fleet. No more then a quarter of the crew had survived… and Verg was counted among… though he had changed a lot in the interim. His mind has worsened and his tenuous grip on reality had grown even more frayed.

The loss of the war had done damage both to their society and to their sense of worth. At the moment, the humans were far too preoccupied with trying to repair the damage that her Papa had done to them.

She frowned at that… it seemed strange to her that the man who had been so kind, so gentle (and father of their kind) had effectively wounded the planet and flooded the human cities with the melted ice caps. Did he really want that to happen? Or… was it just a sad side effect of the final solution? If she thought about it, she might say that he had made one mistake- thinking that the humans would die off so easily. They suffered- and many of them died (almost a third of the human population was now gone).

The affect the war had Amonyushu and her kind was different, but no less damning. They were splintered now… Verg and his followers were now underground in the caverns beneath the antarctic ice and the others lived in scattered communities on islands around

the world .

After their papa had been buried, Amonyushu began frantically reading the many books in his old study. She read about concepts of mathematics and science… eventually coming across Darwins theories of adaptive change… and later, books that spoke of complex things like the human genome.

She had also read works of philosophy and spiritualism and faith . She had felt vaguely appalled by some of them- Machiavelli's views on self-serving motives were horrible to her. There were amazingly devout and good people, like Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King.

There were also many works of fictions that she engrossed herself in, writers like Shakespeare, Arthur Conan-Doyle, and Tolkien.

Amonyushu was beginning to feel the sudden rush from the north winds; she could see the light in the distance and hear the sound of thunder. But the clouds where not as gloomy or as dark as the evil force she somehow sensed approaching.

She could not tell what it was or from where it came, just that it was a malignant force that threatened them some how. The few people she had told about it simply dismissed it as paranoia or anxiety- and certainly that made since, considering what they had all been through.

Still standing over the sea cliff lost in reminiscence and not caring about the rain now pouring down on her, drenching her with water. A hand landed on her shoulder, waking her from her thoughts.

"You shouldn't stand so close to the edge, you might fall."

She turned and came face to face with her 'brother' Kumo. The tall feline hybrid was around 6 ft tall and had long pail hair that hung down around his gray furred face. He dark eyes looked at her keenly. He was in his early to mid 30s and lean and toned.

"If you fell, your Aunt Nana would be very sad." He added, taking her hand and leading her back from the cliff. "Nana told me to go and find you and to tell you to come home because dinner's ready."

"Ok I will be there." Amonyushu replied, half in a daze. He watched her leave, smiling to himself, thinking of his own youth.

"By the way," He began, walking beside her. "What are you doing up here? Its not one of those feeling your having again is it?"

She became silent and stiffened when she thought about it. "Yeah it's that dark feeling again… I've been having it off and on the whole week." She explained. "Can't you feel it?" She asked, hoping that perhaps Kumo could sense something too.

But he shook his head in reply. "No I don't sense anything… I wish I could, because then I might be able to help you with all this." He added. "Maybe its humans you're sensing?" He asked.

She shook her head. "No, it's an evil kind of feeling." She replied. "I haven't felt anything like this before- it's so evil, so overwhelming." She paused for a moment. "I'm sorry, this must be upsetting you?"

He stopped and caught her wrist. She turned and looked at him. She was trembling slightly as he gazed at her. She fell against him and let out a soft whimpering sound. "Oh Kumo… what is going on?" She asked, now crying faintly.

"I don't know Amonyushu, I really don't…" He replied. "But I think for now- the best you can do is just not think about this right now." He offered. "Come on, let's go back to the village." He finished with a smile.

She wiped her eyes and looked up at him. "Alright, let's go."
