Jay groaned, feeling a great headache and screeching in his ears. He muttered and slowly opened his eyes, tried to move, but couldn't. His eyes opened wider as he looked around him and realized he was tied up.
- What... What happened? - Kai groaned in pain as he slowly recovered from his stun. The Master of Fire gasped in fright and tried to struggle against the chains. - We are still underwater!!?
- Kai, stop fighting! - Jay calmed the panicked ninja and groaned when a wave of pain hit his head again. He looked over his shoulder and saw Nya, Cole and Lloyd unconscious.
- Where is Saber? - he asked in a whisper.
- Still alive and well! - called out a crisp voice. Jay raised his head toward the ceiling of the ship they were aboard and saw golden eyes glowing the color of lava. Suddenly that someone jumped down to the floor and stopped in front of the captives.
Jay and Kai exchanged panicked glances and looked at the monster in front of them. It was the same monster that captured them. Instead of a left hand, it had a large claw, resembling the pincers of a crab. It also had a beard, made of tentacles, and black metal armor.
- Erm... Who are you? - Jay asked.
The monster sent the Master of Lighting a mischievous smirk and straightened up proudly. - Why, they call me Mate Squiddybeard. Conqueror of all the seas and Commander of a Great Force of Sea Monsters! And you... You are the ones who invaded our home. - he growled furiously.
Jay lightly snorted with laughter, amused by the monster's name. - Squiddybeard, really?
Kai looked at his friend horrified. - Jay... I beg you, but shut up. - he whispered frantically as the sea monster sent them a deadly stare.
- Do you find my name funny? Human? - he hissed.
Jay was about to answer him, but Kai quickly interjected. - No, no, no! Of course not! Very, this is a very threatening and serious name, sir! My companion has a slight delay, you'll have to forgive him for that.
Mate Squiddybeard nodded and made a sound of approval. - Well, then I can forgive you, your innate stupidity.
Jay furrowed his eyebrows in indignation and looked at Kai, who only smiled at him.
