It's a bright and sunny day early in the morning in Louisiana, Arthur Curry is walking the streets in a blue hoodie, it's to early he thinks but it's peaceful less people are awake less problems to solve it's been about a month since King shark Arthur keeps wondering if he's still alive probably is, he's put a lot of things behind him exiled from his own kingdom really sucks but best not to dewell he thinks, he sees a local bar and smiles he goes to the counter and starts a drink, a couple minutes into his drink an older man comes into the bar screaming the creature the creature it's back he's back he screams what Is it Henry? asks the Bartender the creature the that horrible beast has returned the one that killed Martha he's back after all these years, Arthur looks up from his drink with a done look on his face of course after all this time a giant killer monster would just so happen to return on the day he showed up in town, Look buddy maybe you're just drunk Arthur says this early Henry asks I'm drinking I'm drunk though these days I'm always drunk Arthur says, I man a lighthouse I never drink Henry says, Arthur pauses his father use to run a lighthouse, it brings back old memories before he had passed away, maybe it was a giant bird says a patron at the bar mockingly as everyone laughs come on guys this is serious Henry says as everyone laughs but Arthur, he knows Henry can't be drunk if he manned the lighthouse, Henry leaves Arthur follows him hey let's see that monster Arthur says, leave me alone please Henry says no I'm serious I wanna see this Arthur says I mean hes probably crazy but maybe it would make the old man's day Arthur thinks to himself, wait really? Look this thing killed someone once we all know it they all are just too afraid to fight it, wanna help me Henry says sure I'm Arthur Curry Arthur says extending his hand they shake and head out, So who's Martha? Asks Arthur as the two walk down, Martha she was a singer who went down into the swamp alone about 9 years ago and the swamps where it lives the creature, hes nasty tall green and will kill anyone that comes into it's swamp, Henry says so it's Shrek? Arthur asks Henry looks at him weirdly, just kidding Arthur says let's see what this swamp thing is, they arrive in the swamp.. it's dark and muddy as are most swamps Arthur feet keeps stumbling mean this path is rugged he says as he looks down he realizes he's not walking on ground he's walking on huge prints they look like foot prints but there so big, maybe around 7 inch's bigger then what are normal persons should be this cause Arthur to wonder if this beast might actually be real,
Arthur sees a tree with Alec Holland carved into it, who's Alec Holland he asks, I don't know many people wonder into these swamps, not all make it out Henry says if this was a movie you would be a walking plot device Arthur says, I'm much more then a plot device, I've always thought I would be a leading man or something Henry adds with a smile as the too start laughing, Thhhhhh, there's a flapping noise as some trees move, Arthur puts his hand in front of Henry hold he says the ground starts to shake and alligator comes out Arthur sighs I was kinda expecting more then that he says to Henry, suddenly the alligator's tail is pulled back and hes dragged away and something starts slamming the beast back and forth, Arthur looks through the trees it's a giant green monster with vines growing through it, it's a monster, he punchs the alligator knocking it back and throws it back into the swamp, he's turned around, leave now, the swamp thing says in a rough voice, Arthur looks in shock I'm talking to you he says as he turns around, Arthur can't believe the monster can talk so clearly, yeah I'm not leaving till I got some answers Arthur says I don't answer to you swamp thing says as he walks over to Arthur, Arthur stands his glove lights up and explodes revailing his water hand, swamp-thing is puzzled he's never seen anyone different like him but look human Arthur punchs him with his water hand knocking him, this is my swamp and I'll protect it till my last breath he says is that why you killed her Arthur who's still trying to wrap his head around it says, swamp-thing growls and gets up and charges at him punching him sending him back a few feet he growls at Henry who runs away, swamp-thing turns around and walks away when Arthur gets up his hoodie is ripped and his scale armor is slightly present his water hand has formed a Trident HEY he screams Charging at the swamp-thing he knocks him back to the two wrestle and Arthur knocks him down and starts punching him swamp thing gets up throwing Arthur off he grabs a huge rock and swings it Arthur knocking him down Arthur gets up and swamp-thing puts his foot on his back forcing him down LEAVE! Swamp-thing screams as he walks away... Arthur spits out some blood...
