Chapter Two: Tropical Rescue

It was a day like any other day on Destiny Islands, the bright yellow sun was high in the sky and a few playful clouds were scattered about, white and fluffy.
A ways away from the island a small research ship was docked, a teenaged girl sitting on the bow, letting the sea spray her feet. She ran her fingers through her red hair, looking towards the sky with calm, indigo blue eyes.
�Kairi!�
The red haired girl jumped to her feet and ran down below the deck where her father was working. She went over to his desk where he waddliddling the with drawings of a strange sea creature; half of it looked like a man, the other half like a fish. Kairi�s father called them Mermaids, even though the only one ever captured was male. Her father had seen one, out in the shallows surrounding the island, a fair distance from land. Since then, he had been obsessed with them, and caught one when Kairi was little. It had been monstrously strong, but Kairi�s father has already guessed that they would be, seeing as though they could survive the water pressure of the sea. It was quickly contained and put into a special tank where it was observed daily. Kairi�s father, Shu, had managed to learn a bit of the mermaid�s language before it died. Shu was distressed about it; he had thought he had taken good care of the creature. He later surmised that it was the small tank that did it and possible isolation. He had had a large enclosure built on the island and set out to catch another one, preferably two or three. He almost caught one later, but in its haste to escape him, it died. Shu then set to work on better trapping methods, stronger nets and a tranquilizing agent that he feure ure would work. He wanted to catch a young one so he could tame it easier. Kairi wanted to help him; she was fascinated by the fact that there were creatures under the sea thort ort of looked like humans.
�Yes, papa?� Kairi asked, as she looked over his shoulder at the drawings her father was carefully writing notes on.
�Help me get the nets ready. I picked up some clicking on the underwater radio today. They are back in the area, now is our chance to catch one.�

>�Gr>�Great!� Kairi bounded up the stairs ahead of her father, reaching a large metal box attached to the side and pulling out yards upon yards of netting. Her father was busy preparing a large hook that was attached to a crane. It was necessary to pull the mermaid from the sea. They were much stronger then any mere person.
�All set, Kairi?�
�Yeah!� Kairi dragged the heavy nets over to the hook, and her father did all the rest. Kairi did help throw the net over the side, then clapped her hands and squealed with delight. Shu smiled and placed a hand on his daughter�s head. She smiled up and him.
�We�re gonna do it right this time, aren�t we?�
�I sure hope so. If I can catch and tame a young one, I�ll get all the funding I need. We�ll have a real crew and a real boat, and times won�t be as hard. I can send you to the big school on the main island��
�Aw, dad, I�ll just be happy that you get to do what you love.� Kairi grinned up at Shu. �As long as I get to help!�
�Of course, sweetie. Of course. I couldn�t have done anything if it weren�t for my star assistant!�
�I�m your only assistant!� Kairi said, rolling her eyes. �I�ll take the first watch, okay? You can take the rowboat and go get something to eat. I�ll go when you come back.�
�What kind of father would I be if I did that? You take the boat and eat, but bring me back something.�
�But papa!�
�No buts. If we caught a mermaid while I was gone, could you get in on the ship alone?� Shu shakes his head. �It has to be this way.�
�Well�okay�� Kairi sighed. She left to go get her boat ready. �I�ll go get something for us both and we can watch together!�
Shu chuckled as she left. He had raised a wonderful child.
Kairi rowed back as quickly as she could, running past all the kids on the island, ignoring their demands that she play with them. She ran straight home and excitedly asked her mother for some lunch she could share with her father. Her mother laughed and shooed her out of the house so she could make something, and Kairi went out on the top porch to look out at the sea. Her father used it at night to look at the stars, and his telescope was still set up for when he finally came home. He spent almost all his time out at sea; there was little time to stargaze anymore.
The porch faced in a different direction from where the boat was, at a large expanse of sea. Kairi looked through the telescope at the blue waves, grinning at swimming seagulls fishing for dinner. She turned the telescope a little ways to the right.
A silver head poked up from under the waves.
Kairi blinked, staring. No one on the island had hair like that! Besides, it was too far out for it to be a person. She watched mystified as it ducked back under the water, and a black and white tail flipping up before following. Kairi rubbed her eyes and looked again. Had she been seeing things? She looked again, but it was gone. Kairi turned to race back into the house. It was a mermaid! She was sure of it! Papa would be so excited to hear thws! ws! She raced out of the house, but her mother called her back.
Shoot. Right. Their lunch.
Kairi ran back into the house and danced around,atieatiently waiting for her mother to finish. Once she did, she accepted the basket her mother gave her and shot towards the docks like a ball from a cannon.
She had seen one. She had seen a real live mermaid.

When the silver haired Slaptail was a good distance away, Tidus pulled on Sora�s fin to get him to slow down. Sora stopped and looked at his friend.
�Hey, what�s up?�
Tidus frowned. e yoe you sure about this, Sora? I mean, the guy�s a Slaptail! They�re all around troublemakers!�
�Its just one game, Tidus. Besides, we are supposed to be leaving in a couple of turns. He�ll forget all a us us by the time we come back.�
�Well��
�It�ll be fine, Tidus. We both know the rules and just won�t break them. He�ll have to do the same or play alone.�
�I guess��
�Don�t worry so much. Besides, I wanna know what this game is.�
�That�s what I don�t get. After what happened to your parents, how can you want anything that has to do with Humans?�
Sora didn�t reply. Tidus did have a point. Sora�s father was caught when Sora was a tiny pup, only seven days old. He was looking for some shells to make a toy out of when he had been caught in a net. He was never heard of again. A year later, Sora�s mother was searching for food when she was caught in a net and was killed trying to escape. She had cut herself badly in the escape and some Razorfins caught her afterwards. None of the other Dorsalbacks had been around to help her ward them off, and they ate her. Sora was then raised by the leader of the pack his mother came from, a blonde Dorsalback named Cloud.
Cloud had already been raising an orphaned pup, Tidus. Tidus�s parents were Protectors, Dorsalbacks who scouted for possible danger. They were caught and killed by Razorfins, but at least they were not eaten. The community appeared to save them, but it was too late. Cloud took their pup as his own, and when Sora lost his parents, he raised the two pups as brothers, treating them as if they were his own. They became close, and were never seen without the other.
Sora finally shrugged. �It�s just a new game to me. That�s all.�
Tidus rolled his eyes. �Fine. Whatever.�
�Hey, what are you two doing?�
Tidus and Sora looked up. Riku was swimming back down toward them. �Having second thoughts, are we?�
�N-no! I�um�� Tidus stammered. Sora only rolled his eyes.
�Yeah, whatever.� Sora said, imitating Tidus�s tone perfectly. Tidus winced at the hidden barb. Fine, he could play too. He nudged Sora.
�Hey, betcha I jump higher then you.�
�No way!� Sora shois his head. He was extremely competitive sometimes, and Tidus knew it. Sora looked over at Riku. �Mind being a judge?�
�No.� Riku grinned. �It�ll be fun seeing what you Dorsalbacks call a �jump�.�
Sora and Tidus both exchanged secret grins. Oh, he would find out all right. Sora and Tidus prided themselves on their jumping ability. All Dorsalbacks did. Slaptails could jump, sure, but no merperson could compare to a happy adolescent Dorsalback. Riku headed back up to the surface while the two Dorsalbacks backed away a bit.
�Are you ready?�
�I�m set.�
�Then go!� They both shot towards the surface at a suicidal speed, Sora pulling ahead just as they broke the surface of the water with anle lle leap.
Riku who was floating there with an amused expression on his handsome face, felt his jaw drop in awe as Sora soared high above his head, arms tucked tightly against his sides, his expression one of excited bliss. A little more then a half a foot below him, Tidus looked slightly disappointed at losing. Seawater sparkled like tiny diamonds in the sunlight as the two plummeted back down to the water�s depths in a graceful arc, shinshing Riku thoroughly when they hit the surface. They came back shortly, both of them grinning like idiots.
�I win!� Sora laughed. �We didn�t even need a judge!�
�I can�t believe how much higher you got!� Tidus said, sobering quickly. �Are you training or something?�
�Nah, you�re just slacking.�
�Hey-!�
�That certainly was impressive!� Riku said sliding in between the two merboys, interrupting their playful banter. Tidus huffed, and crossed his arms.
�Of course.� He says, eying Riku as if he was an idiot. �All Dorsalbacks can jump like that.�
Riku ignored him, focusing only on Sora. �So, how far can you jump?�
�Oh, pretty far.� Sora said in his best �and-you-better-believe-it� voice.
�Well, let�s see. I challenge you!�
�Uh guys�� Tidus sighed.
�You�re on!� Sora grinned. �Tidus, you be the judge!�
�But-!� Unfortunately, they had both dived back down, and his protests went unheard. Tidus frowned. �What about the game?� He looked over at the small, white round thing Riku had called a �ball�. Oh well, might as well wait. Mergames were more fun then Human games anyway.
Probably.
A short second later, Sora and Riku shot from the water�s surface, both trying to stay as close to the water as possible. The jump wasn�t as graceful looking as the first, but it was still impressive. When they finally came back down, they both rounded on Tidus immediately, demanding the results. Grudgingly, Tidus�s said that Riku has won, and Sora blinked in shock, while Riku smiled smugly. Tidus was really getting very sick of that smile.
�So, not just Dorsalbacks can jump, hmm?�
�Yeah, yeah. It�ll be different next migration.� Sora sniffed. �I�ll be better then you then.�

>Rik>Riku swam over to the ball and grabbed it as Tidus bobbed under the water. �If you say so.� Riku tossed it into the air and caught it. �Well, ready to learn that game I promised you I�d teach?� Tidus surfaced up in front of Sora, eyes wide with excitement.
�What�s up?� Sora asked his adopted brother.
�Duck under and see!� Tidus exclaimed.
�What? Why?� Riku looked confused. Sora�s brow scrunched, but he ducked his head back under the water like his brother told him to. The others did the same, and they barely heard a distant, but high pitched sound.*
�It�s a scream!� Riku exclaimed. Tidus and Sora looked at each other, and then shot off toward the source of the sound.
�Hey! Wait!� Riku shouted, wide eyed. �That Dorsalback has good hearing�� He muttered to himself. Shaking his head, he followed after them, hoping he didn�t lose them.

* * *
�Hurry, Kairi!�
Kairi blinked as she climbed back aboard her father�s research boat, carrying their lunch with her. She dropped the pail on the deck and raced over to her er wer who was pulling at the nets that had somehow slipped off the hook.
�What happened?�
�Darn things are getting smarter or something. Twisted around so much that the net slipped right off the hook!� Shu struggled with the net. �Go lower the hook so I can get the net reattached!�
�Yes, papa!� Kairi ran over to the controls for the hook and lowered it enough to get the net on, ran over and handed it to her father. He slipped the net back on, looking back at her long enough to yell,
�Now go get the slack out! Hurry before we lose it!�
Kairi scrambled back over to the controls, making the net raise up slowly. She kept looking at her father, eyes wide with excitement.
�Alright, steady�just like that. Keep it up while I get the tranquilizer ready.�
Kairi concentrated on her task while her father ran to the other side of the boat, to make sure the small tank was filled with enough water to accommodate a mermaid. Kairi strained to see the water from where was;was; she wanted to see the mermaid. Was it the same one she had seen before, the pretty one with silver hair, or was this one different? Kairi could hardly wait to see what they had caught.

Below the waves, a young Tropi struggled against the nets, crying loudly. Tropies are merfolk with the tail of a tropical fish. The tail can have two or three colors and a wide variety of patterns. They are graceful swimmers, but not very fast or powerful. They can, however produce a poison that is deadly to predators. Friendly but shy, they often hid in reefs or seaweed forests in large schools.
The Tropi struggled harder, her beautiful gold and pale yellow fins working tirelessly to keep herself from going upward. She cried even louder, desperately hoping someone would hear.
�Please! Someone! I don�t want them to take me! Please!�
As she cried, a brown haired Dorsalback came toward her with a powerful speed. He grabbed part of the net and tugged back on it. A second later another Dorsalback grabbed the net also, adding his strength to the first.
�Don�t worry!� said the first Dorsalback, �We�ll get you out!� The second Dorsalback began calling with loud clicking noises, trying to get help.**
�Oh, oh, please! Don�t let them get me! I don�t want to die!�
