Sun gets a very unpleasant surprise once he steps into the unknown AU and feels he lost one problem to only gain a million more

"I am absolutely fine. I am not panicking and i am pure serenity and calm. People wish they could be even half as calm as i am right now. I am the most relaxed monster ever and i will not panic because I suddenly have a FUNKIN fish tail!"

Sun bit back another hysterical laugh as he caught a glance at his new..appendage and how his magic had shifted to this form without his say so as soon as he entered this multiverse..or rather very odd AU. It seemed to be a singular one and apparently ever growing according to Core but still very new especially in comparison to the rest of the omniverse.

He suddenly deeply regretted not listening to Core's warning as the first thing that happened when he stepped into his portal was he passed out and not even a nice gradual thing but instantly knocked out cold with a heavy weight enveloping him.

So to say he had been happy in any regard to wake up with a FUNKIN tail and with the new alarming fact of being unable to change shape, would be a lie to put it mildly. He clutched his cat plushy like a lifeline, letting out a few choked noses that might have been sobs or laughter when he noticed his cat plushy alos now had a mermaid tail instead of back legs, this magic plushy truly the best thing ever and a brief distraction at what just happened.

He forcibly moved his eyes away from his tail it was gold and flowy and kept twitching! and looked at his surroundings which surprisingly enough didn't help his panic much either, the deep blue of the ocean shockingly rather bland. He had never been in the ocean and had a feeling he wouldn't want to again after this adding this to his box of trauma and shuffling it to the far back.

He also discovered the wonderful fact that creating portals was a no go, even trying to 'Fresh Poof' was useless with Core's warning how unknown this AU suddenly blaring to the forefront of his mind.

So simply he was stuck in an unknown AU, his magic was being weird in a whole new 'fun' way and now he had to basically learn how to walk..or rather swim as currently he kept smacking his face by accident.

...this was going to be so much fun, he just knew it..and why did he feel like picking a fight with someone?

Good news!

Sun had accomplished the task of swimming even if he couldn't swim in a straight line to save his life, progress was progress and he would bite anyone who said otherwise!

...now on more negative news...well, that was everything else as he was rather ravenous after all that floundering and he still had no clue where he was and with how his luck was going lately he would say he would stumble onto something insanely annoying and gain a couple of stalkers as this very much seemed to be the trend of his life.

He sighed deeply and watched blankly as bubbles came out of his mouth, this truly not his day or life but knew nothing would happen if he didnt move so with a firm grip on his plushy he swam in a random direction and hoped for the best.

Reaper was having a great day! He managed to catch quite a few seals and had finally learned how to suppress his aura enough to stop killing all the creatures he got near. It was massive progress and while it had taken a good few centuries it was still massive progress and couldn't wait to show off to the other Leviathans.

He was about to head back when he spotted a bright golden figure in the distance, sniffing the water and not recognising the scent at all, his tail flicking in curiosity. Most normal Mers avoided his territory due to it apparently having the stench of death to it which was a rather unfortunate part of his magic.

It made it hard to even interact with normal Mer even in his smaller form, so wondered who this intruder was and was in a good enough mood that he decided he would push down the instinctive urge to growl at a stranger in his territory. His smile widened at his plan but as he swam closer the smaller his smile became until it disappeared entirely, disbelieving what he was looking at and yet his eyes didn't lie.

There was a hatchling here!

A mere guppy swimming in a rather bizarre way and winced at the state of what he once assumed was a beautiful tail, the fins a spotted grey at parts with parts drooping or even missing, frankly impressed the baby Mer was still swimming as he knew those types tended to get listless when in that sort of state.

He swam closer and was about to greet them when he was smacked in the face by the small tail, spluttering in surprise and suddenly faced with a dark orange and golden eyelight that seemed to burn with an impressive amount of hatred for something so small.

"What are you looking at, fatty?! Learn to mind your own business and learn some personal space. There is plenty of ocean so move out the way!"

...yep, that was definitely a Betta fish Merling and couldn't help but coo at how small they truly were, ignoring the warning nips and hissing as he grabbed them but did wince at the solid bite they gave his arm.

At least they still had their energy despite their deplorable state, it unstelling not to see an adult Mer nearby to care for the young and decided on a plan when he saw a few of their dull scales drift to the sea bed.

He had been bored lately and a little detour could be just the thing he needed to solve that!

"It's ok, guppy. I'll help you"

"What the FUNK did you call me, you black and white reject clown?!"

He chuckled, tempted to nuzzle the lively merling who didn't show any fear but knew he would be bitten as he had been multiple times when he reached for their unique toy.

"Im called Reaper, guppy. Can i have your name?"

*Hisss*

The Orca Leviathan wasnt surprised he was stared at like he had two heads and like he was an utter moron for even asking, this sure a brave little one to do that in a face of a much larger predator, worried how long they had been alone for but could easily see the stress with how terrible state their scales were in.

He held them close and began swimming where he last recalled Dream was, knowing they tended to be more knowledgeable on normal Mer and hopefully know how to care or what to do with such a tiny creature.

Although, it didnt take long to encounter a new issue when the smalls ones stomach gurgled, drawing an immediate blank on what to feed them before looking back at a few of the seals he hadn't finished and thought that would surely be more than enough for them.

..now how should he try and convince the most vicious Betta Mer he had ever met to stop biting him and to cooperate with him.

Core: *Worried as she stares at her phone* I hope Sun is ok

Sun: *Freaking out but in deep denial and looking ten seconds from a breakdown* ThIs Is FiNe

-

*Something traumatic occurs*

Sun: *Neatly folding it away and stuffing it in a box and throwing away the key* The only way to deal with such things!

-

Reaper: *Simply going to greet the unknown Mer* Hello-

Sun: *Aggression skyrocketing as soon as he makes eye contact and in no mood to socialise* What are you looking at, fatso?!

Reaper: *Being bitten and hissed at and yet cant help find it cute*..i just know everyone will love you

-

Sun: *Being presented with a half chewed on seal, trying to decide on eating it or just spite, wondering how he ended up in such odd situations*...i think this also deserves to go into the trauma box as well

Trauma box: *Near bursting at the seams and cracking ominously*
