Unwanted Legacies
The Aquarium was unremarkable, all things considered. Young children ran and laughed and dared each other to get close to the exhibits. Older children and adolescents alternated between staring at their technological devices and fancying themselves above it all, only dragged along because their parents didn't trust them to remain home alone. Some adults tried to wrangle their young into submission, while others internally debated if this had really been the best choice of location for a date, and a rare few tried to ignore the chaos around them, focused on the beings that swum endlessly in the confined waters.

Middle School Mafia. First Place in The Aquarium Challenge.
Honcho likes to conduct his business at the aquarium. Why? It’s dark, it’s crowded, and no one pays attention to middle school kids there, even when they’re locked into intense conversations.

I Suck. Runner-Up in The Aquarium Challenge.
My name is Hoover and my drug of choice is Valium. Hear me out. I’m not a junkie fish, but it’s no Mardi Gras here in this glass cell, and things happen. Sometimes fortuitous things. Like the Valium.

Ben
Meet Ben The little girl watched with deep interest as the fish swam from one end of the tank to the other. She followed the fish back and forth, both enjoying themselves immensely. The fish stopped and so did the girl, they were staring at each other through the glass when bubbles spilled from the fish’s mouth. The girl laughed, clapped her hands enthusiastically, and cheered. The fish was quite pleased with himself and began swimming in a figure eight pattern. The girl cheered some more.

Smiling and reveling in his battle achievement . Royce still wasted no time in charging right after me . His speed was surprising when you count his size and strength . I tried to block his attack with my drill . I blocked him but like Jerry before me I was still sent flying . I did backflips into the air and he was still on my tail . While I was still flipping mid air from the impact of his first attack he appeared again to strike me . I was still a little disoriented and dizzy but I managed to wrap my drill around his arm .

Jerry went charging at Syltana . He was met by Bryce‘s tail and was sent crashing into the ground . He didn’t move at all . He wasn’t dead though . I know he was tougher than that , but he was probably down for a minute . While Bryce was attacking Jerry , Bulls Eye was able to strike him with his own arrows into Bryce’s back . POOF the dragon disappeared in smoke ! It seemed the stomach wound that Bulls Eye inflicted on him earlier and the arrows to the back was enough to take him out .

We were still inside of the trees healing for a little while . A few minutes after we started to heal , Royce , Bryce and Syltana showed up . " Well well well ," Royce continued speaking after saying that . "This must’ve been the other powerful presence that I felt ." You were the main reason I didn’t chase after them like an idiot . Let’s see now this makes it three against five. I still like our odds ." His already proud stature seemed to only increase in confidence after confirming his suspicions .

While they were blocking the arrows , I attacked Syltana from the right . I didn’t get off a direct hit on her , but I managed to disarm her and knocked her sword out of her hand . That accomplishment was short-lived when Bryce the dragon head butted me . He came flying at me head first . It was too fast for me to be able to react . John grabbed Bryce by the legs and slammed him into a tree . John yelled at him . " That was payback from earlier motherfucker ! " . This all pissed Royce off and he got ready to engage but Jerry was watching him . Jerry blocked an attack that was meant for John . Although he didn’t have near the amount of strength that he needed to be able to block him completely . Jerry was sent flying from the mere raw strength of Royce . Royce wasn't only strong , he was also highly skilled when Jerry was sent flying Royce made sure to send him directly at Bullseye . Sending them both crashing through a small forest.

One Afternoon at the Aquarium
The Sapphire Seas Aquarium was visited by people from all backgrounds - residents, tourists, friends, families, couples, young, elderly, animal lovers, people who were indifferent to animals, those who were interested in sealife and those who simply wanted to pass the time. One thing was certain - everyone who set foot in the aquarium remembered their visit there.

It's the Dawning of the Cage of Aquariums
I can't believe I am in an outdoor flea market, it's so humiliating. My keepers are moving to the Bahamas and leaving me to some whiney kid most likely. It's sunny out and I am a loner. I requested a tank cleaner, but I shut my trap when I overheard my "family" talking after dinner and the choices they were going over were seriously evil. Luckily, the insanely bad violinist "Maestro" Mary who was perhaps twelve overheard her parents and older brother, Jerky Joe arguing over what to do with me. "Dad just flush him, sell the tank and get it over with, what's the big deal?" Maestro Mary ran in and hit him in the back of the head. He swung at her yelling, “Get away from me you little freak!”
