*(Look here!)*

*This is my first story on this wiki, and I can't wait to get it started! Those who know me from the Warriors Fanfiction Wiki might be aware that I have another story that shares the same name. (It's been long forgotten, now...)*

*Anyway, despite their names, this plot is very different. Look down below to find that out. Anyways, I'll try to update this often, because I'm very proud of the story I've come up with. Also, this is a French-English tale, so you might see some foreign language. Said language was derived from Google Translate, so forgive me if it's inaccurate.*

*Bonne lecture! 🇫🇷*

## *- Résumé -*

**Earth, 3,000 years into the future. There are no flying cars, no buildings lined with lights, and neon broadcasters anywhere. Neo Tokyo has yet to exist, and probably won’t - especially when the original Tokyo is somewhere underneath the Pacific.**

The ice caps are gone, polar bears erased from the world. Instead, sea levels have risen to a drastic volume, swallowing any land and forcing it underwater. New York, Italy, and the pyramids of Giza now lie within watery depths. And as for the human race…

…well, it doesn’t exist anymore. Instead, a species more suited for this world is swimming around - humanoid creatures that have some of the features of marine animals. Part of this new race is a boy named Atlas, who has lived his whole life (well, as far as he can remember) on the only island above the ocean. He knows nothing of the world beyond, only the precious meat of his island, and the constant spinning of the compass that has merged itself with his wrist.

But things change. And Atlas has to learn how to grasp this new concept, especially when mysterious people invade his territory, and with them lies his hidden ticket to a road filled with adventure. The ones he’ll enjoy, the ones he’d rather avoid, and the one that makes him question and discover it all.

*“Find anything?”*

*Scone watched Dipper float lazily from room to room. The two swam within another skeleton of what looked to be another sunken building, a structure of the past. Their current find had been one of basic shape; a large rectangle with medium windows - all of which were open, the glass broken and (rotted?) away by God knew what.*

*And all around were other objects; all floating just above the sea floor - unlike their box-like neighbor, which was embedded into the dark sand. Each one lay suspended in time, almost unmoving, despite the damage done to the insides. The two had inspected them all from top to bottom. They all had the basic shape - four rubber circular things holding up a hunk of metal - but each one had a different name and symbol planted on the front. In fact, there seemed to be labels everywhere on the beasts; one in the front and one in the back.*

*“Geez, whoever made these things need to make up their minds,” Dipper snorted, scratching lightly at a sticker that was planted on the caboose of a red one. “What does this say - Mercedes? What kind of a name is that?”*

*“I think it’s pretty cool,” Scone murmured, checking out one that had a metallic print on the words 'Toyota’. “In fact, I think they’re all pretty cool. And their logos are nice.”*

*The Octoid missed the unimpressed stare that his Lanternoid lover gave him. His gaze was still on the mysterious contraptions even when Dipper rolled his eyes and continued on.*

*Eventually - after noticing the lack of talking - Scone realized that his boyfriend had moved on, and tore his gaze away from the rocks to join him. The two swam through one of the open windows, and marveled at the veins of their discovery.*

*“What the…” Dipper breathed, letting the water take him from one opening to another. Scone stared down the corridors, seeing doors on every side. His other checked each and every one before returning to him.*

*“They all look relatively the same,” he reported. “They all have these weird things in them - some look different, but they all have the same build. And they’re all arranged in a particular order.”*

*Grabbing his hand, Dipper pulled Scone to each rectangular opening in the hallway. The Octoid got his visual share of what he was talking about - unnamable objects sat in the room, each lined perfectly in columns or rows; some were gathered around a circular object.*

*Dipper scrunched his nose. “How come they thought to name those hunks of metal out there, but they couldn’t name these things?”*

*Scone shrugged, brushing his hand against one of them. It was hard to the touch. “Maybe they didn’t have to.”*

*“What?” Dipper exclaimed, staring at him like he was crazy. He loved his little Octoling to bits, but sometimes…*

*“All I’m saying is that maybe they had a general name,” Scone said. “Like those things out there. I mean, it’s not the first time we’re seeing them.”*

*“Yeah. Sure,” Dipper sighed. He paddled his way to the next room, and poked his head inside. This next room was about the same, but something caught his eye. In the back, was a large poster. It was huge, nearly taking up the entire back wall.*

*Blinking, he floated over the nameless (argh) objects - which this time were accompanied by flat surfaces with metallic legs - and landed in front of the wide material.*

*Even with time, the words on the thing were still readable. He squinted, only drawing back when his brain made sense of what the map was displaying.*

*There was a soft ‘swish’ of water, and he heard Scone’s voice.*

*“Dipper? Find anything?”*

*The Lanternoid’s glowing eyes drifted to the source of the voice before going back to the image.*

*“Uh…”*

*"...yeah."*
