Way beyond the alien Succubi spider Queens of Mars, Kali Aranea Aesma StarDew A beautiful Charizard Trans-Woman who uses they/them pronouns. and lives deep beneath the sea of the Rayuban coast. A 10,000 lb borderline ultralightweight lightweight Mecha called B-115 or more commonly known as "The-Orca" was their home and primary means of transportation, except for flying of course since they were a Charizard, or inheritor of the sacred dragon Genes from the great <Electro-Dragon>. She was looking for Relics of a long gone age and various types of tungsten and copper scrap metal from sunken vehicles from the Rauban war which had taken place here over 150 years ago. 

The 13 ft. Mech hit a rock though which tore its hull open causing water to flood the inside shutting down the electrical components inside. Unfortunately the other Mechs working down here were unwilling to help Kali so she swam to the surface about 50 ft up from where the tear in the hull was and flew to the nearby Orca Steamer which had steam pouring out from its large and powerful blowhole. I jumped in and was surrounded by blood throbbing Orca tissue, which was surrounded by electrical wires , galvanized steel plating, anti-freeze tubes and pyramids. 

From the Shadows a figure stepped forth. "who dare approach Hanuman the third?" said an elderly (maybe 60 years old) anthropomorphic monkey man 

"I am in desperate need of repairs for my Mech ship I hit a sharp rock out about 1 mile south of here and was hoping you and your friend could help me?" 

"I just need a Subaru P24 Enki F1 K 17X69 48 with a 20 ply Titanium hull"

"Hmmmmm 20 Ply you say?" "Quite a tall order, what are you willing to trade?" said Hanuman++ the third who was third generation Leggio Mechanic whose family had been here since the Rayuban war. 

"How about 18 Bananas, 12 Coconuts, one pound of Dragons Tongue and 120 Gil?"( which was the new Rupee in Rayuba) 

"This has Been a real learning experience." said Kali who was flying back and forth day by day delivering coconuts they found along the coast to the monkey whose Orca circled around mountains of fire and ice. 

The repairs were made almost instantly though I did not have the money to pay the Salvagers which is when I decided to become one salvaging the depths and then returning them to the sandy Rayuban coast . I was on my way slowly descending to the Ocean depths were I found a new kind of foe. A mutated relative to the Xixo. I tried to flee from the crusty crustaceans crawler using the large propeller mechanism attached to the back of "The Orca" but it was too large and continued chasing me so I had to Switch from mobil armor mode to battle mode and fired a bolt of plasma from its crossbow attachment on its arm and then hid behind rock where they brought out the beam trident which turned it into crab meat.

Its skewered body was roasted that night and very delicious a local tribe of anthropomorphic seagulls came to bring me things one of which was a relic from one of the local shrines. A bone Cestus left there by Aranea <The-Electro-Dragon> before leaving to fight for Bastion, for our freedom. They were a beautiful intersex DragonShark and we worship her for she came from the ocean and this is were she was found as a young child by our people the Lorrito tribe over 150 years ago. 

"I am De-Wa-Do daughter of the righteous sealer De-Leedo, and priestess of Kali. Please take it and Free us from the demonic Hordes which Inhabits the Islands of Fire and Ice, for they come to our beaches and try and eat our eggs and young seagulls. 

"We will do what we can" said Kali 

"Currently I am in need of one pound of Dragons Tongue to help pay the debt I owe for the salvage crew to fix my mech"   

"I will take you to the mountain east of here where it grows...the fabled 'Fire Red Mountain'.
