Tournament - Jaws vs. Namora

[Movie-Brat]

Since the beginning of life itself, ever since the oceans were formed, the sea has been home to a variety of wonders. Some friendly, others in the deep, dark waters, very intimidating to say the least. 

But even man, could not help but venture to the sea, especially as much as humanity has evolved to venture into the ocean for longer periods of time. Studying the ocean's vast, endless number of inhabitants or just for the sheer novelty of swimming alongside the likes dolphins or whales. 

Alas, not everyone sees it that way. For even then, humans can pollute the oceans from trash to oil; effectively harming the ocean's animals. This all caught the attention of Namor, the Sub Mariner. His long standing grudge against humanity for its crime against the oceans and the kingdom of Atlantis. Such a grudge has not ceased. 

And yet, there are even more dangers a foot, even above even the dark, deeper waters. From the ocean itself, roaming the Atlantic oceans, a creature bent on gory terror to satisfy its hunger. A twenty to thirty foot great white shark scoured the oceans, seeking out what to eat. And it had a taste for human flesh. 

Now, mind you, humans are not what sharks eat. Normal sharks anyway, they only attack humans if provoked or a case of mistaken identity like confusing a human on a surf board for a turtle or seal. 

But this particular shark, of unknown origins, it had the specific taste for human flesh. It had already claimed a dozen victims, not even children were safe from such a beast. 

The shark continued to swim, roam across the oceans as the beast searched for more victims. Nothing to satisfy its hunger, not yet. But soon, it may find their new targets. Perhaps someone formidable. But in the meantime, the beast had spotted its snack; a male orca whale minding his own business. The shark lunged at his eyes. Blood began to seep out of the socket. The shark then began to chomp at the rest of the body. 

Chunks of flesh eaten away until the orca could no longer put up a fight. The orca struggled and attempted to fight back but the shark's brutality and speed was no match for him. As such, the now dead carcass of the whale could only drift away. 

The shark was satisfied with its snack. But now it continued to seek out human flesh. 

In the meanwhile, Namora, cousin of the infamous Namor, the Sub Mariner; placing her bare foot on a rock, she surveyed the beach of Amity Island. Breathtaking sights of the ocean blue waters. Why would humans pollute the oceans was a mystery to her. Sure, the humans she met were not terrible but the actions of the greedy and careless can paint a bitter picture. 

Namora had just finished taking down a greedy politician who wanted to dump toxic waste barrels into the Atlantic Ocean. Because who else? Namor even had his share of fighting corrupt authority figures. But otherwise, some members of the Avengers assisted. Namora had wanted to leave early to return to Atlantis, though not before berating Mayor Vaughn for his compliance. 

Needless to say, she was confident he would never dare to cross her again. Especially after Vaughn had been scared half to death to the point of his pants being soiled. 

It was a rather eventful five days. And now she was ready to return home to Atlantis. Rejoin her cousin and Namorita, relax a bit. Just anything to keep her mind off human matters for one day. 

Hopefully.

But curiously, something caught her eye. 

She had spotted a couple swimming in the water and making out. A large shark fin began to swim toward them. 

Ultimately, she leapt onto the sand and ran toward the water as she dived right into the ocean. The unsuspecting couple continued to make out until the beast grew closer and closer. As the shark opened its mouth, it felt a punch. The beast's fin splashed onto the couple as it turned over from the impact. 

They screamed and swam away as quickly as they could. 

The beast felt the assailant grabbing it, causing the two to go into a struggle. The beast went ballistic until finally, the assailant broke free. 

Under water, the shark repositioned back normally and eyed on its assailant; Namora. 

"Foul beast!" Namora growled. "If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!"

Both the shark and Namora charge at each other, the fight in the ocean begins. 

 

--------

 

So yeah, the legendary shark versus the cousin of Namora. In her case, she's at full strength, durability and speed. 

And maybe to make things even, the fight stays under water. So, no flying.

Awesome start to the September 2021 Flash Fiction tournament Movie-Brat!

Big question here, is this just the Jaws we saw in the first movie? Because I know of some folks who head canon that Jaws is all four sharks from all four movies who somehow comes back to life every time it dies. Just making sure I know.

That sounds incredibly dumb to be honest and forgets the twist of the third movie but in any case, I disregard the sequels.

Yeah I’m of the same opinion 🤣. It would have made the fight between Jaws and Namorita a bit more interesting though.

Good entry, Movie-Brat. The exposition was pretty on-point, if not some of the sentence structure.

As for the match, I think Namora should beat Jaws pretty handily, as well as most ocean creatures.

I'm gonna give this to Namora. Jaws doesn't seem to be like a major threat to her.
