Present day…

Spiderman looks down at me, his eyes narrowed. “Buzz told me about you,” I say. “And what did the foolish reptile say exactly?” asks Spiderman. “He told me you're lost, Spider… he told me he couldn't get you out of this,” I answered. “But did he tell you he's nothing but a coward and a traitor? Corbin, my dear, you mustn't place your trust in others so foolishly,” says Spiderman, straightening his purple cape. “I trust Buzz more than you. For starters, he didn't send the Green Goblin after us!” I shout. “Oh, Corbin. I only sent him to reclaim the painting. I should have known that you and your father would have your defenses high,” explains Spiderman.

Spiderman looks at his pocket watch and his eyes widen slightly. “As much as I would like to continue speaking with you, there is simply too much work to be done. But I will assure you of one thing. You shall not be harmed as long as you listen and obey,” Spiderman says, turning away. “Just leave Axel out of this!” I scream as he walks away.

Now I am left with the jellyfish. “You're not getting out of here,” says the big orange jellyfish. “Never ever,” the big green jellyfish adds on. They both sleep near my cage. “How am I gonna get out of here?” I ask myself. I lay down and suddenly yelp. A sharp pain hits my leg. I reach into my pocket, pulling out a batarang with a note on it.

"Slipped this little guy into your pocket when we were hugging earlier. Figured you might need it. Love you. Love, your father, Batman.”

“Thank you, dad,” I whisper. I quickly pick the lock with the batarang. I open the cage door slowly, trying not to awaken the jellyfish. I begin to sneak out of the cave. But suddenly, a small blue jellyfish sees me, and screams like a siren. The big orange and green jellyfish rush over to me. “Where do you think you're going?” the big orange jellyfish asks, pulling his ax out. “Funny you should axe, but I'm getting out of here!” I say smugly. 

They charge at me, and I quickly throw my batarang. To my surprise, it simply hits the green jellyfish and stays stuck inside of it. “Is that all you got, Bub?” asks the big green jellyfish. They approach me, cornering me. Just as I think it's all over, I hear a window break. I turn to see two ninja turtles. “Well, this will be fun,” says the turtle with an orange mask, riding in on his scooter. “You and I have very different definitions of fun, Mikey,” the turtle with a blue mask says calmly, spinning his guns. “Let's get this over with, Leo,” says the turtle with the orange mask. 

They jump into action. The green jellyfish throws a knife at Mikey, but he deflects it with his scooter. Leo quickly shoots the green jellyfish, killing him instantly. “No!” shouts the orange jellyfish, charging at Mikey. It quickly pins him down to try hurting him. I grab the batarang from the green jellyfish and throw it at the orange one. It hits, causing the now dead jellyfish to fall on top of Mikey. “Ew! Gross,” Mikey says. 

“Oh, calm yourself,” says Leo, moving the jellyfish off of Mikey. He hands me the batarang back. “I believe this is yours,” he says as I take it. “Who are you?” I ask. “We're friends of Buzz,” Mikey answers. 

Suddenly, Spiderman swings to the now broken window. “Hello, turtles. I see you have come to assist Corbin. Unfortunately, this entire cave is rigged to explode, meaning your time is limited.” explains Spiderman. “You won't get away with this!” I shout. “I already have,” says Spiderman. An explosion happens to the left. The turtles force me to start running. But before I run anywhere, I throw my batarang at Spiderman, cutting his face through the mask.

We run through explosions happening left and right. As we approach the exit, I notice a big bomb right there. “It's about to detonate!” screams Leo. We run faster. We all jump out right as it goes off. 

My father, Batman, rushes over, hearing the explosion. He grabs me and hugs me. “Are you okay?” he asks. “Yes, I'm fine… thanks to the ninja turtles,” I respond. “Your son fights well,” says Leo. “He saved me,” says Mikey. “That sounds like my boy,” says my father, Batman. “Did you use my little gift?” he asks me. “Yes, I threw it right at Spiderman,” I say. “Spiderman?! You have a lot to tell me,” says my father, Batman. 

We regroup with the others. Axel is in his father's arms. “Some jellyfish came over and gave my son back. Then we started looking for you,” SpongeBob explains. “Oi, who are you two?” asks Goku. “We're the ninja turtles,” says Mikey. We talk with them as we exit Jellyfish Fields. “Why does Spiderman want me?” asks my father, Batman. “Well, we don't know much,” says Leo. “But Buzz did say something about your son being the key,” explains Mikey. “What do you mean I'm the key?” I ask. “We're not sure, but it's about some prophecy,” explains Leo. 

“Leo, we gotta catch up with the other three turtles,” says Mikey. “You're right! Look, Corbin, son of Batman, here is a whistle. When you need our help, blow it,” Leo says, handing me a whistle and riding away with Mikey on his scooter.

We all go home and eat dinner together, looking back on the eventful day. We all ate, except for Buzz. 

He just stared outside, listening to the clams chirp.
