Jimin

He kept his grip on Taehyung tight, not allowing the tentacles from taking him away as he slashed at the tentacles with Riptide. Taehyung had lost his sword to the ocean when he fell. When he was under water he had realised he was breathing. How could he have not realised that earlier? But Taehyung was not. They tried to get to the surface but the nose hairs pushed them down. He prayed to his father, imagining an air bubble around his, and amazingly it worked. Taehyung breathed out shocked.

He tried to get to monster to find someway he could kill it. But he couldn't get close. The tentacles slammed him away.

He don't know how but someone else fell in the water and he knew it was Hosoek. He looked up to see it was indeed Hosoek wrapped in its tentacles and the thing was bringing him close to it's mouth. He lurched upward Taehyung following close avoiding the nose hairs.

He saw Hosoek throw something, a green vial into the thing's mouth. Hosoek tried to swim away from it immediately, so he followed. Not half a second later, something blew up. The Shrimpzilla. Green fire spread through the water. He and Taehyung were far enough that they were not affected. But he saw Hosoek drown. Taehyung was already swimming to the surface, but he made it faster. He moved towards Hosoek, taking hold of him and willed the waves to lift them up. They obeyed.

Taehyung fell face first onto the deck losing his balance. He stepped off the wave into the deck arms around Hosoek.

The others rushed towards them. Namjoon helping him to lay Hosoek in the floor as Jungkook lifted Taehyung up.

Hosoek coughed out water, blinking tiredly up at them. "I am alive?" He asked making him chuckle.

"Yes buddy, you're alive."

"And I am freezing cold." Taehyung complained shivering in his wet clothes. They both were wet but not him.

He could control water couldn't he? So....maybe, he concentrated on the draining out the water on their clothes and the water moved to his will. Taehyung started drying up from his head to toe and so did Hosoek.

Taehyung touched his dry hair shocked. "I got myself a walking talking blow dryer." Tae exclaimed. He glared at him as some snorted with laughter.

With the oars damaged and the foresail torn, they decided to sail for now and not by air. Taehyung was a lot sad about losing his sword. Whichever sword they had in the ship, he always managed to find come up with what was wrong with it. Yoongi told them they needed Celestial Bronze and lime which Festus has detected by a nearby island. The ship was anchored a feet away from the shore. Namjoon helped Yoongi with collecting the lime from the sand, which was not actually sand but Calcium carbonate.

A party of Jungkook, Jin and Hosoek was sent to find the bronze.

Jungkook

They stood and scanned the island—bleach-white dunes, blankets of grass, and boulders encrusted with salt like frosting.
Hosoek said. "Yoongi said there was Celestial bronze close by, but how do we know where—"

"That way." he pointed up the beach. "About five hundred yards."

"How do you—?" Jin started.

"Precious metals," He said. "It's a Hades thing. I am kinda getting a hang of it"

"Handy talent. Lead the way, Mr Metal Detector." Hosoek said smiling.

The sun began to set. The sky turned a bizarre mix of purple and yellow. He might've enjoyed a walk on the beach, but the farther they went, the edgier he felt.
