Journey To Eden

Ezra, Nova and Lilah looked at the monster with wide smiles on their faces. They decided to attack the monster but not to kill it. The plan was to make the monster fall into the ocean making a splash large enough to throw the ship into the air.

"That's why you wanted the others to enter the ship. you didn't want them freaking about making the ship airborne. I like this plan." said Nova. 

"But you do realize that that's going to be incredibly difficult." said Lilah.

"What's so hard about launching a large monster into the air and into the sea again?" asked Nova.

"It's a bear." said Ezra.

"How do you know that?" asked Lilah.

"Its silhouette, growl and smell." replied Ezra.

"You can smell that thing, gross. Are you sure you have no soul animal?" asked Lilah.

"Yeah, I'm sure. You guys can't smell it?"

 "No." Nova and Lilah said in unison.

Nova turned back to the bear and looked carefully through the fog and saw that it was a giant bear. 

"Damn this is a large bear. Its legs are touching the sea floor."

"No, they are not you idiot. That's a shower part of the sea..." Lilah's eyes widened. "We are almost crashing into land."

"Then let's gets this over with." said Ezra before jumping off the ship and sinking his sword into the bears left arm making it growl in pain.

"Hey short girl, don't slow us down." said Nova before jumping off the ship and flying to the bear with wings of fire. 

"These two are very weird." Lilah said before diving into the ocean. 

Meanwhile the other attendees were in the ship unaware that the three people they had left were currently in a fight with the monster that had terrified them.

The bear that was in pain swung its arm trying to shake Ezra off, but Ezra was holding onto the sword tightly like his life depended on it because it sort of did. Nova flew to the bears face and looked it dead into its large eyes.

"Are you ready, you big fur ball?" he yelled before flying above the bear. He clenched his hand into a fist and dashed to the bear's face.

Fire Fist Smash.

A heavy fiery punch landed on the bears snout throwing its head back but he bear remained standing. Nova was angry that his punch didn't work.

"Nova, watch out." yelled Ezra.

Nova saw a large paw head his direction. His eyes widened as the hand drew closer. the bear's hand then landed on its head. Ezra removed his hand, looked up for Nova who was underneath the bear's paw.

The paw then caught fire making the bear withdraw it and out emerged Nova who quickly flew off the bear's face and into the air.

"You okay, Nova?" asked Ezra.

"Yeah, I'm good." 

"That's great. You ready to sink this guy?" 

Ezra then jumped off of the bear's arm and fell down to its leg and sank his sword into its leg forming a large deep cut into its leg that made the it raise its leg in pain. 

In the sea below the bear, Lilah swam around the bear until she reached behind the bear and looked up at its back. 

"Okay, this shall do." She joined her hand together and closed her eyes.

Pufferfish Spike 

A large spike then shot out of the water and through the bear's back with so much force that it made the bear lift up into the air. Nova saw this and took advantage of the situation and repeated the same attack from before. He punched the bear's face with a stronger punch that made the bear land into the ocean creating a large splash that lifted the whole ship into the air and out of the fog back it was flying towards a group of boulders.

Nova flew over to Ezra and saved him from falling into the ocean but they couldn't reach the ship in time. What were they to do? Suddenly, a large wave pushed the ship away from danger and landed it on the right path out of the fog.

Ezra and Nova then landed back onto the ship and Lilah followed afterwards, her hair and clothes wet.

"Were you seriously swimming a we were fighting that thing, short girl?" asked Nova.

"I wasn't, you idiot." said Lilah, angrily.

"Her spirit animal is aquatic." said Ezra.

"Yes, it is. Who do you think created that spike that sent the bear flying and killed it? And who do you think saved the ship?" asked Lilah.

"What do you mean you killed it? I obviously killed it." said Nova.

Nova looked at the couple quarrel and let out a small chuckle. The attendees that were hiding in the ship finally emerged out of the ship when they felt that their doom had finally passed. Many of them were shocked to see that the monster had disappeared.

"Did you guys defeat that thing?" One of the attendees asked.

"Yeah, I did." Nova quickly and confidently claimed the victory.

"No, I did. Don't try to take my kill." Lilah yelled and the two quickly broke into another argument.

"Congratulations, you kids have survived test one. The cooperation test." said Mr. Holst, the captain of the ship as he emerged from the ship with Josephine and the other crew members that had vanished.

"You guys were there the whole time?" asked Ezra 

Mr. Holst pulled out a handkerchief from his coat pocket and wiped some sweat from his forehead. The entire crew looked wore surprised and horrified expressions on their faces.

"Yeah, we were." replied Josephine with a terrified smile. "You guys are pretty scary, though." 

Mr. Holst sighed and walked over to the three attendees. He raised his hand and struck the three on their heads making them fall to the ground in pain.

"Are the three of you trying to destroy my ship?" he bellowed. "Among all the attendees I have transported, you three have to be the worst. I honestly thought I was going to die."

He struck them again as he continued to complain for like an hour when the three of them apologized and agreed to help in cleaning the ship.

The next two days of the journeys, Ezra, Nova and Lilah helped to clean the ship until they arrived Gates of Aizen.

The Gates of Aizen were large mechanical gates that allowed passage through a large wall that was 20 meters tall and surrounded an island that was the size of Vatican city.

The gates themselves were 17 meters tall leaving a 3 meter space from the top of the wall. 

The large gates opened wide and allowed the ship through before closing, locking the ships inside. Ezra looked at the wall in awe. He had never seen anything this big and at the top of the wall he saw large canons that looked like they could destroy the ship in an instant.

The ship sailed forward until it reached a port that had a lot of ships that rivaled the the Helmington in size. 

"This ship is quite small." said Nova, insensitively.

"Mhmm, those royal ships are big for nothing." Mr. Holst said, clearly showing his jealousy. "This baby has charted waters they can't even imagine seeing."

"Someone is consoling." whispered Lilah, making the trio break out into laughter.

"Why you ungrateful, brats. Get off of my ship now." bellowed the captain.

The attendees exited the ship and walked on the port. Ezra turned back and waved the crew goodbye.

"Those kids were quite delightful." said Josephine to her father, the captain.

"I'm glad they are gone." said the captain. "Though I do pray that they get in."

Meanwhile at the port, all the student from the various ships gathered at a foot of a large staircase that stretched for at least a kilometer.

As they were waiting at the staircase, the sky began to darken. The attendees looked at the sky and saw a large flock of crows had blocked the sun.

"Aren't you all hot?" said a feminine voice from the sky before the figure of a woman formed in front of them. The crows cleared up and flew back into the sky revealing a woman dressed in black dress with a large feather hat.

"Welcome to Aizen College, are you ready to become monsters?"
