The Beatles an Unexpected Journey

Chapter 9: The Octopus's Garden

John, Paul, and George were awake when the submarine announced that they have arrived where the Kraken was located.  They were upon a very large sea bed of different sea-plants and animals, along with a huge coral field.  The Yellow Submarine explained that it was known as the Kraken's Garden.  The Submarine then stopped in the middle of the fields when there was shaking beneath it.  

  The three lads held onto the sides of the sub as everything shook beneath it.  Then something shot up from the depths after the kraken's garden.  And it was exactly what the submarine had said.  A gigantic red and blue eyed Octopus, a monster a quarter the side of America.  It was so big that it pushed back the small yellow submarine with a blast of water.  

  "How are we going to past this one hmm Paul?" John asked.

"I haven't had the slightest idea." Paul said sheepishly.

Suddenly there was a booming voice that spoke from the great big Red Octopus, and it was loud and powerful,

"Heed my words, Hear my Warning, thy Yellow Submarine tries an passes me, shall end in misery, sing the words of my name, or I'll put you to a game, and you, shall be framed.  The coral stretches for miles, and the ink I spray is a vile.  Sing my name and you shall be free to be..."

The monster red octopus growls lowly as it's eight arms arms floated in the water staring down the Yellow Submarine.  John turns to Paul and George hastily,

"Sing it's name.  Sing it's name!  Kraken right?  And it's whole coral field's or something like tha'. We've gotta think of something, some song to make it not eat us and let us pass instead."

"We haven't got a song like tha' to sing to it.  I mean a giant monster like that?  John, when was the last time you wrote something about a monster like the Kraken?" Paul asked.

"Never."

"Wait, "George said,

"What?" Paul and John asked in unison.

"Ringo...he and I wrote Octopuses Garden.  Well...mostly he did.  But I think it's out only chance!"  George then turns and runs into the bedroom.  He pulls off the cover and began to shake Ringo,

"Rings!  Wake up!  Come on buddy you've gotta wake up right now we need you!"

John and Paul turn to look back out of the submarine as the gigantic Octopus began to glare at them.  It growled taking one of it's giant arms and hitting the Yellow Submarine.  The whole sub goes out of control spinning everywhere.  John and Paul fall back and hit the sides of the sub, and then collapse together on the base when it stabilized.  

George shook Ringo again,

"Ringo!  Please, I can't sing this song on me' own! Please wake up!"

The Giant monster red octopus came swimming after the yellow submarine again.  Then we cut back to George,

"Oh for crying out loud!"  George slaps Ringo in the face and he bursts awake,

"Owwwwww!"

"Oh thank god your awake, we need you Ringo!  We're going to get eaten by a giant monster octopus!"

Ringo sat up quickly as George Harrison spoke,

"You've gotta sing Octopuses Garden it's the only way we'll survive passing this monster."

Ringo Starr nodded his head as he walked out of the bedroom, he looked to Paul,

"Toss me my drumsticks."

McCartney tossed him his wooden drumsticks, Starkey catches them with his right hand and pressed a button on the side of the Yellow Submarine hull.  He stepped back as a whole drum-set and mic arose from the belly of the submarine.  Ringo sat where his drums were.  He looked to the mic,

"Are we ready?"

The giant red octopus roared and swam right towards the Yellow Submarine getting ready to crash into it.  Then Ringo banged on his drums and cymbals with his drumsticks, then he began to sing into the mic...

"I'd like to be, under the sea,

in an octopus' garden in the shade,

he'd let us in, knows where we've been,

In his octopus' garden in the shade...

The singing went out through the speakers on the sides of the submarine.  And the Giant red octopus stopped, and listened to the musical tune and message.

"I'd ask my frieeends'to come and seeee,

an octo-pus-es garden with me,

I'd like to be, under the sea,

in an octopuses garden in the shade..."

He banged on his drums as George played on his guitar near the mic.  The sound came out of the submarines speakers and to the giant monster red octopus.  It became entranced by the music, almost hypnotized

"We would be warm, below the storm,

in our little hide-away beneath the waves,

Resting our head, on the sea bed,

In an Octopuses Garden near a cave..."

George played on his guitar as Ringo banged on his drums to the tune.  Soon the giant red Kraken Octopuses voice boomed.  The two men stop playing the song, and they listened,

"You have convinced me  with your song!  For there are much to see and much to know, before you go, you ought to know.  What lies ahead is therefore you speak, it hasn't gotten much to eat.  But it swims at the depths of the ocean, its sharp teeth will bite you in half, this creature says it blocks the path.  Don't be foolish, and don't be cruel.  This vast size monster will leave you in shreds, never look back behind your head. "

The giant monster red octopus swims back into the deep part of the ocean trench.  Then the Yellow Submarine continues it's path to the siren.  Everyone was glad that they weren't eaten by a giant red octopus. 

"Glad to have ya back Rings, we thought you was' dead!" John said slapping his back.

Ringo laughs, " Sorry about fainting earlier, I hate things with five heads, it's somethin' y'don't see everyday lads."

"Oi fellas, what do ya think the next monster is?  Any ideas?" Paul asked.

George scratched his short beard, "Well it said it hasn't got much to eat.  Something about it swims beneath the ocean, we know that."

John cleaned his glasses with his suit, "It's sharp teeth with bite you in half."

Paul spoke adjusting his tie, "The creature blocks our path."

Ringo scratched the back of his head, "Er....it said not to be foolish or to be cruel."

George snapped his fingers, "I think I know what were expecting next.  Although I don't like the sound of it.  Because it said the vast size will leave you in shreds, never look back behind your head.  Although, I can't be too sure because I'm only guessing."

"What do you think it is?" John asked.

George Harrison sighed shaking his head, "I think it's a Megalodon Shark..."
