Today we received a distress call from Terra Aquanos where Tritonn needed our help, I was stoked to see what this Terra had in stored since I've never been here before. Surprisingly, so many people and fishermen here then expected that I was stoked to hear what Tritonn needed us for.
Finn: Oh c'mon, everybody knows Bessie's just a story Terra Aquanos made up to sell t-shirts
Stork: Oh, ye of little faith. Sure, no one's found any "evidence" she exists. Yet. I'm going to prove all you naysayers wrong
Aerrow: Stork, we've got bigger fish to fry
Mags: Aerrow's right. It's been three days since Tritonn and The Neckdeeps followed that distress signal to the bottom of the lake and no one has heard from them since
Finn: Maybe their cruiser sprang a leak?
Mechanic: Not likely, laddie. The Master shipwrights of Aquinos know how to make a ship watertight. We've only been doing it for nigh on 500 years
Aerrow: I sure hope so, because when you're done with the Condor, we're taking her straight down to the bottom!
Luna: I can't wait~!! Who knows what will be in the ocean
Stork: She looks so beautiful
Luna: [grin] By beautiful you are talking about the Condor, right?
[Recording scratch]
Stork: I mean you're beautiful!! You will always be my beautiful right hand, my beautiful goddess, and ummm
Luna: [giggles] I'm just teasing you Stork, the Condor is a beauty to be admired
Mechanic: We took the liberty of modding your skimmers for underwater running as well
We all watched as our skimmers were amazing as they lifted them up to our Condor, Finn changed into some wet suits which fitted tight, but perfect for the underwater adventure while Finn struggled to get the helmet off of him.
Finn: Get this thing off me!!!
[Crash]
Finn: Awwww~
Mechanic: That "thing" is a breather. There's one for each of you. I don't advise you landies going out into the depths without one
Aerrow: Never mind Finn, we appreciate you doing all this for us
Mechanic: We didn't do it for you, laddie. This terra owes everything to the Neckdeeps, find the Skyquod, bring them back
Mags: We will
Luna: Yeah, as Scorpio would say "Sky Knight honor"
We got into the Condor and got ready to go into the ocean as we brace for impact, once the Condor was in the water we were finally under water. It was honestly beautiful and breathtaking than I could imagine, all the fishes, coal reefs, and so much more.
Junko: This place is making me hungry. Oh! Oh, yeah [smack his lips]
[Beep]
Piper: We've got something on the sonar
Aerrow: The Skyquod?
Luna: No, too big. And too fast [gasp] could it be
Stork: [gasp] Bessie? Luna my dear, take the wheel
I sped off quickly to take control of the Condor, while he tries to get a picture of it before it would be too late but something else caught his attention.
Stork: AHHHH!!!!! IT'S A MAELSTROM!!!!
[Alarm Blare]
Aerrow: HARD TO STARBOARD!!!!
Stork: AAAAHHHHH!!!
Stork and I steered right as the others were flung across the Bridge, as for Aerrow who fell on top of Mags, and I quickly caught Piper before she could get thrown across the Bridge.
Finn: That storm was a monster! It just came out of nowhere
Piper: You know, I bet it was one of those maelstroms that gave people the idea that there's a monster in this lake
Stork: Bessie's real! I know it. If only she'd give us some kind of sign...
[Whale-like sound]
Luna: You mean like that?
Stork: Gaaaahh!!!
Aerrow: Where's it coming from?
Mags: Uh, Aerrow. Can you get off of me now?
Aerrow: Oops, sorry [stands up]
Stork: Can't see anything in these murky waters. Let there... Luna, if you would my dear
Luna: Gladly, captain~
I pressed a button as it activate the spotlight so we could see what's in front of us.
Stork: Be light!!
Junko: What's that?
Finn: I didn't see any- GAH!!!!
Stork took some photos rapidly as he tries to get a good angle and smiles in glee.
Stork: Finally!! Proof you exist!! Haha!! Don't worry people!! Bessie is totally harmless
Finn: Okay, but if that's Bessie, then who're they?
Just then, there were more aquatic like dolphins with tusk on the front and red glowing eyes, about six of them to be precise, no wait. Seven. Just then, when Stork continued to take picture, one of them noticed and headed towards us as it tried to smash the glass screen.
Luna: WHOA!!!
[BASH]
Finn: GAAAAHHHH!!! Totally harmless?
[BASH]
Finn: GAAHHHH!!!
Aerrow: Stork! Luna! Get us out of here!!
Mags: NOW!!!!
Stork took the wheel and tried to get away, but they were still chasing us, no matter how many twist and turns we tried to get them away from us but they still followed us.
Piper: They're chasing us!!
Stork: Luna~
Luna: Now you see us... [click button] Now you don't
We were able to get away from those aquatic creatures as we landed somewhere as they swam past us.
Aerrow: I think we lost them
[Beep]
Piper: The sonar!!
Finn: Great. What now? Another maelstrom? More monsters?
Piper: Nope. It's the Skyquod!
Luna: We found them!!
Piper: Storm Hawks hailing the Neckdeeps. Tritonn, can you hear me?
[Static]
Piper: Hello?
[Static]
Junko: Why aren't they answering?
Aerrow: Only one way to find out. Time to suit up
And that we did, we suited up and got ready to investigate. We swam to the Skyquod and almost reached it when Radarr and I decided to prank Finn by scaring him, and that we succeeded.
Finn: When we get back, you're gonna get it Luna
Luna: Oooohhh~ I'm so scared~
Finn: You should
I rolled my eyes as Finn being oblivious to the sarcasms, that we continued to swim until we managed to get inside the Skyquod. We carefully crept up to the door, not knowing what to expect, when all of the sudden Junko let out a scream, scaring us all while I screamed and clutch onto Finn.
Junko: Tritonn!!
Luna: Huh? Oh, it's just Tritonn, I knew that [nervously laugh]
Finn: Sure you did, you're still clinging onto to me
Luna: What? [let go] [blushes] N-N-No I wasn't, you're just imagining things
Tritonn: Storm Hawks! Thank the waters!
I smiled and ran up to Tritonn to hug him, while he hugged me back. I remember hearing many tales from my mom and cousin about Tritonn and their adventures, so in a way he was kinda like family. He lead us to the Bridge where the other members are as he explained to us what had happened to them.
Piper: I'm not sure I understand. Endless caverns? What are they?
Tritonn: They stretch all the way down from the bottom of the lake to the center of the Atmos and beyond
Aerrow: Beyond? You mean all the way to... The other side?
Luna: I've hear many stories about the other side, not a place to go
Tritonn: So they say. But the lake bed entrance has been sealed for longer than any can remember
Piper: Until now
Mags: Do you think those creatures could be from the other side?
Luna: Maybe. Who knows
Tritonn: Aye lass. The unworldly creatures you encounter escaped from the depths below when an entrance was blasted open
Luna: Really?! By who!?
Mags: My money is on Domiwick
Luna: No way, it has to be Snipe or the Dark Ace
Mags: Wanna bet?
Luna: Five bucks?
Mags: Five bucks it is then
Tritonn: You'll have him to thank for that
The doors opened and I was at the edge of my seat expecting to see either Snipe or Dark Ace, but to our shock, mainly Piper and I. It was I.J. Domiwick.
Piper: [glares] Domiwick
Mags: Ha! Told ya! Cough it up
Luna: [pout] [hands Mags five bucks] No fair [glares] you made me lose five bucks. Thanks Domiwick
Tritonn: [drags Domiwick out] I risked by squaddies' necks answering this land dog's distress beacon
Domiwick: I am on a great journey of exploration!! To the other side!! Encountering those Domiwick beasts was just a minor setback
Luna: You mean a stupidly dumb move from a poor excuse of an "expert" explorer
Mags: Pffftt [holds back a laugh]
Stork: "Domwicke Beasts"?
Luna: I mean they could be his long lost ugly twins
Mags: Or his siblings
Aerrow: Pffftt [hold back a laugh]
Domiwick: I discovered them. Why not take credit for it?
Piper: Well, they are totally thoughtless and highly destructive
Mags: Things that you have
Piper: I'd say the name fits
Luna: Ooooohhh~ boom!!
Domiwick: [small growl]
Luna: See, he even sounds like them, they could actually be twins
Domiwick glared at me, but I stuck my tongue out when the Storm Hawks stood in front of me, shielding me from Domiwick. Especially Aerrow and Mags acting like as if they were my parents, including Stork and Finn, being the protective boyfriends they are until Domiwick backed off.
Stork: So, that wasn't Bessie
Domiwick: Bessie? [laughs] that's just a story the Aquanos use to sell t-shirts no doubt inspired by the frequent maelstroms in the lake
Tritonn: Aye, he speaks true. There be no monsters in this lake. At least, not till now
Domiwick continued to laugh about it, making Stork mad, so I did the most unexpected and stomped towards Domiwick and angled it right to kick him where the sun don't shine. Hard. Making the other flinch in pain except for Piper who smiled at me.
Luna: [glares] Never laugh at Stork, ever or my chancla will leave a mark on the back of your head and people will ask how you got it [walks away]
Domiwick: [high pitch] How can someone so tiny be this strong? Ugh
[THUD]
Aerrow: [grin] Way to go, Luna
Mags: I feel so proud of you [pats Luna's head]
Luna: Does that mean you two will finally get mar-
Aerrow/Mags: [glares] WE ARE TOO YOUNG FOR THAT!!!!
Luna: So~ how did you prevented more of those creatures from escaping?
Tritonn: Had to ram me ship into the hole to keep more from coming up, our very lives depended on these safe waters. We'd have swum for it... If not for him! Wouldn't be right to leave him behind. Even if he does deserve it
[BOOM]
Luna: AGH!!!
Just then, the Skyquod was moving and we all feared that it was the creatures from before.
Aerrow: We need a plan, now
Piper: The way I see it, we've got three objectives
Mags: Haul the ship out of the hole, round up the creatures and drive them back down it, then seal it up for good
Finn: Sounds awesome! Awesomely impossible
Domiwick: You're making a mistake. Don't seal it up
Mags: Say what? You want me to let loose Crazy Luna? Okay
Domiwick: NONONONONO!!!! KEEP THAT VICIOUS BRAT AWAY FROM ME!!! Let me find the way to the other side
Tritonn: When those creatures find our settlements, Terra Aquinos will be ruined. They have to go
Aerrow: Then let's split up and get it done. Fast
Junko went with the Neckdeeps to set up the device so that it could seal the cave up, meanwhile Stork and I were at the Condor ready to pull the Skyquod out.
Stork: Stabilizers
Luna: Check
Stork: Engines
Luna: Check
Stork: Incredibly complicated plan with way too many variables
Luna: Check
Piper: I heard that
Domiwick: Ugh, you call this food?
Piper: I hear the jail on Aquanos only serves its prisoner raw squid
Luna: True, unless he rather be locked up in Terra Celestial where the prison food is only habanero chili pepper, the choice is yours
I handed Domiwick a single habanero where he backed away from me really quick, shaking in fear.
Luna/Piper: Better eat up
Domiwick slowly took his plate back and stabbed his food, he made his choice.
Luna: Eh, you're missing out
I took a huge bite out of the habanero and they all stared at me in shocked, I looked back and saw their stunned faces.
Luna: What? Back in my home terra my cousin and I feared our mothers the most, this is nothing
Piper: Sure hope Aerrow, Finn, and Mags are alright
Mags's P.O.V
Aerrow, Finn, and I rode our aquatic skimmers in search for those creatures. Which was not going to be easy, considering that these creatures are vicious.
Finn: So how're we gonna find these
[Whale-like call]
Finn: GAAHHH!!!
Sure enough, we found them, they were all rounded up and swimming around together in a group.
Aerrow/Mags: Next question?
Finn: Okay. How're we going to get 'em to follow us?
That's when Radarr came in, if all goes according to plan then we can successfully say a "mission accomplished."
Finn: Heh, you two got an answer for everything today, don't you?
Mags: Hopefully, nothing goes wrong
Radarr swam ahead of creatures to get their attention, and surprisingly it worked. We got to work and started leading them to the cave, after Aerrow rescued Radarr from those creatures.
Aerrow: Nice job there, Radarr
Radarr: [squawk]
We continued to lead the creatures to the cave, there were a few close calls but we were able to avoid getting bitten. We made it to our destination and got ready to enter the cave, and saw the Skyquod finally free from the cave.
Aerrow: Let's send these things home!!
Mags: Right!!!
Aerrow and I entered a cave while Aerrow cheered as I followed him, I looked back and tried to count each and every one of the creatures.
Aerrow: I just hope we got all of them
Mags: Same here, I'm trying to see if we got all of them but-
Aerrow: The endless caverns!!
Mags: What? No way!!
Aerrow: Maybe we can just take a quick look
[GROWLS]
Aerrow: Guess not
Mags: We gotta move!!
Aerrow: Hold on!!
We started avoiding further more, until we decided to fled out of the cave.
Aerrow: Luna!! Hit it!!! Now!!
Luna [Coms]: Kaboom?!
Aerrow/Mags: YES LUNA!!!! KABOOM!!!!
Just then, we waited for the boom but didn't hear it erupt or anything, we didn't know what went wrong until we looked back and spotted the most idiotic person to have ever done the most dumbest thing ever.
All: DOMIWICK!!!!!
Luna's P.O.V
~ Earlier ~
Stork and I waited for the signal, while Piper took Domiwick to get seconds, I waited for the signal when I noticed that Piper had been gone for quite a while.
Luna: I'm gonna go check on Piper, make sure Domiwick isn't trying to escape
I walked away when I stopped midway when Junko told Stork that he could now pull the Skyquod out of the cave, I had to clutch onto something as Stork managed to pull the Skyquod out as we watched Aerrow and Mags go in and lure the sea creatures in. We waited for a while until Aerrow contacted us immediately.
Aerrow [Speakers]: Luna!! Hit it!!! Now!!
Luna: Kaboom?!
Aerrow/Mags [Speakers]: YES LUNA!!!! KABOOM!!!!
[Narrator: If you've seen the episode of Bluey, Featherwand, picture Luna with bingo evil laugh. You won't regret it]
I laughed maniacally for additional moment, as I pressed the button, but didn't hear any kaboom. I kept pressing it rapidly until Stork and I realized, it wasn't working.
Stork/Luna: Uh oh
Tritonn: What went wrong?
All: DOMWICK!!!!
Piper: It's him alright and he's taken out the magma crystal!! What are you doing?
Domiwick: Making history [swam away] FOOLS!!!
Aerrow [Coms]: We've got to go after him!!!
[Whale-like call]
Tritonn: Look! It be too late for that lad!
Aerrow [Coms]: Finn! Mags!!
Finn [Coms]: Already there
Mags [Coms]: On it
Both Finn and Mags started shooting the outer side of the cave as the creatures coward in fear and fall back.
Finn [Coms]: Chicka-cha!
Aerrow [Coms]: Keep it up you two, we'll re-arm the device!!
Finn: You go it
Luna: So I'll still get my kaboom?
Aerrow [Coms]: Yes Luna, you'll get your kaboom, but no maniacal laughs
Luna: No promises
I watched from the glass window as Radarr snatched up the magma crystal and went to place it back on the device as Radarr got a hold of the wing of Aerrow's skimmer.
Aerrow: Let's blow this thing and go home!
Finn: Consider it done, this is for you Luna, your kaboom!!
I watched in pure joy as Finn shot an arrow and it hit the magma, causing a rocky avalanche as the rocks barricaded the cave and sealed it shut.
Finn [Coms]: Sweet!
Luna: AHAHAHAHAAAA~!!! YESSS!!! THE KABOOM!!!
Aerrow [Coms]: What did I say about the maniacal laugh?
Luna: I said "no promises"
[Cheering]
We all were cheering and I gave Stork a kiss on the cheeks, making him blush. Aerrow, Mags, and Finn walked and we congratulated them while I jumped on Finn as he caught me and kissed him on the cheeks too while he had a silly grin on his face.
Finn: Sweet~
Afterwards, the Neckdeeps headed back to their Skyquod and bid us a farewell.
Tritonn: See you topside, mates!
Luna: See you there Tritonn
Aerrow: Take her up, Stork. Mission accomplished
Stork got us out of here as we left the scene, however our Condor crashed and we all collapsed and slid across the Bridge and crashed into a wall with Mags on top of Aerrow this time, and Finn on top of me.
Storm Hawks: WHOOOOOAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Finn: I THOUGHT WE HAD THEM ALL????!!!!!
Aerrow: I guess not
Stork: Uh-oh!! We got trouble!!!
Aerrow: Stork, what's wrong?
Stork: The skimmer bay's been breached, the submersibles are gone
Storm Hawks: WHOOOOAAAAA!!!!!!
[CRASH]
Stork: And we've got flooding on all three decks
Aerrow: Can we contain it?
Stork: That would be no
Aerrow: Grab your breathers!! Abandon ship!!!
Luna: Oh my poor bombs~ the horror~!!!
We got our breathers and got ready, except for Piper who didn't have her breather.
Piper: My breather!! Domiwick took it!!
Mags: Here, you can have mine [place his breather on Piper]
Piper: But what about you?!
Mags: I probably might be able to hold my breath long and-
Aerrow: Hurry!! Take mine Mags
Mags: What?! No!! Aerrow!!
Aerrow: There's no time to argue, there's still two miles of water between us and any more air
Finn: So, what, you're just gonna go down with the ship?
Aerrow: I'm not giving up on the Condor yet, there's still a chance we can save her if the engine room doesn't flood
Junko: But you'd have to close it off from inside the access duct
Aerrow: Which I won't be able to do in a bulky breather. Please!!! Do it for me!!
Mags: [sigh]... Fine [take the breather] Make it back safely
Aerrow smiled as he cupped Mags cheeks and pulled him close as he kissed him, he broke the kiss as he placed his forehead against Mags and spoke.
Aerrow: I will
Piper: You better make it back
Aerrow: Hey, it's me. I'll find a way
Luna: You better, because then how will I be able to plan the wedding in the future
[Bonk]
Luna: Ow~!!
We got going and swam up to shore, while Aerrow stayed behind and got to work in saving our Condor. When we made it to shore we were all breathing heavily as we tried to catch our breaths but were growing anxious about Aerrow. Especially Mags.
Mags: C'mon Aerrow
As we all took off our breathers, it was getting very scary, fearing that Aerrow didn't make it or such. When something came flying from out of the water and saw the creature again but spotted above it's head was none other than Aerrow doing a hair flip back like as if he was like that mermaid from whatever movie Virgo was talking about that I for some reason had to sing it.
Luna: Someday he's be~ part of your world~!!!!!
Mags: [smiles] AERROW!!!!
Aerrow flew towards us and landed on the bay as we all ran up to him, cheering as Mags hugged him tight and Aerrow hugged him back.
Luna: YESSSS!!! THE FUTURE MARRIAGE WILL LIVE!!!!
[Bonk]
Luna: Ow~!!
The next day, they were able to get our Condor out of the waters and got out of our wetsuits and into our clothes.
Tritonn: Since ye sealed yer engines from harm, the shipwright say they'll be able to shore up your Condor good as new
Aerrow: I guess things worked out okay, except there's still one of those beasts in the lake
Stork: Umm, excuse me, she has a name! No crowding folks, plenty of room. See the beastly Bessie with your own two eyes!!
Stork held out a fish out with a long stick as Bessie jumped up and chomped on the fish, including half of the stick. Making Stork and I jumped as I clutch onto him tightly, while the crowd was wowed and took pictures.
Stork: This may have been a bad idea
Luna: Ya think?
Piper: Uh, speaking of bad ideas. Do you think Domiwick will make it to the other side?
Aerrow: I guess we'll never know
No one's P.O.V
Meanwhile, somewhere else was Domiwick crawling to shore when he looked up and when suddenly he heard a hissing sound, he heard it coming from his pocket as he took out what appeared to be a glittery bomb until it blew up and covered him in pink glitter. He was about to throw a fits of rage when something glowing was at the distance as he stared in awe and was blinded by the light. Back at Terra Aquanos, Luna gasped out of no where that caught the Storm Hawks attention when she said "The kaboom happened."
Aerrow: You say something Luna?
Luna: Nah, it's nothing. Probably imagining it
