"Avast! Almost missed the little fishy." said Kwazzi as he swooped in to catch it.

He carried it with his paws gently while swimming toward the kelp forest. Soon after, Peso Penguin bandaged the fish's fins and released it back to it's burrow.

"Is that all of them?" Said the polar bear.

"Aye ,Captain Barnacles, " responded Kwazzi. " and it looks like we are ready to go back to the Octopod."

" Everyone to the Gup A." he presumed.

" Captain Barnacles to Octopod"

At the other end of the line was a familiar otter and a dog.

"Yes Captain?" said the otter with his scottish accent.

"Shellington.Dashi." the captain called. "Can you check the environment to see if there are still more creatures?"

Dashi pushed Shellington out of the way making him annoyed.

"Hey-"

" Checking ..." the daschund seemed to wait for a few seconds. "And we are all clear, Cap."

The call ended.


Shellington said in a more utter tone.

"Since when did you consider, Shelly?" smirked Dashi.

"Did your mum ever taught you manners?" He said without making eye contact.

Dashi laughed which made Shellington smile.

The computer beeped an alarm. "Guys, I think there's something moving ahead-"

Captain, Kwazzi and Peso proceeded to their destination, and as they were in the middle of the Kelp forest, their surrounding seem to shake violently.

The ground quivers the sand causing it to get muddy.

"I can't even see a thing past me nose." Kwazzi said under his breath.

" Kwazzi, Peso, hold on." grunted Captain Barnacles as he steered the Gup to safety. "It might get a little bumpy."

Barnacles tried to make the Gup stay put but a strong current came over with it.

They were moving back and forth then sideways.

"Whoooooaaa"

They lost their balance and went to the floor, luckily Captain barnacles was able to steer against the strong current.
The shaking ended but it was still very muddy.

"What was that?" asked Peso.

" An underwater tremor." Said Kwazzi and Barnacles in unison.

"Let me see if I can contact the Octopod," said Peso. "Gup A to Octopod. We may have seem to be broken down and- Hello?"

The radio responded only with a "fizz" and appeared shattered.

"Hmmm.. I think the radio's broken after the impact."

Peso scooped a piece of wire, carefully, then put it back to the inside of the broken radio.

"Now what?" asked Peso.

"Help!" A distant voice was heard. "Somebody please help!"

"Oh no, looks like someones in trouble." worried Peso.
