Fontaine POV:

I was at a loss for what to do. I could see the Aronnax in the distance. I watched to make sure nothing came out of the moon pool following me. I floated there for so long, it felt like hours but looking at the clock in the corner of my eye I could see it was only 5 minutes. Then my blood ran cold, the moon pool opened and I could make out the shape of the rover in the distance.

"Mayday! Mayday! Can anyone hear me!" I started to swim away before it caught up to me. The Mimic Knight was faster than the rover. At least I hope.

"Mayday! Does anyone copy! My coordinates are 52.18807 Latitude and -139.523523 Longitude."

Still no response, "This is Fontaine Nekton! Please I need help, they're gaining on me, I'm scared!" The radio was silent though. No one was going to save me. I started to slow down as I lost faith that someone could help me. Just then my radio started crackling.

"Is someone there!"

"Who is this?" The mystery voice said.

"My name is Fontaine Nekton"

"What's going on?"

"They're chasing me. They're gaining! Help!"

"What is? Wait hold on!"

"Hello, no don't go!" But the radio was silent. I was alone again. I looked back and the rover was getting really close. I could see Mom, Dad, and Ant were in the rover now. They were all there and they all still wore the same expression. Dark but slightly blank. I turned back forward and saw a few grey figures up ahead. If there are sharks or dolphins here maybe we're close to shore. Getting closer I could see a trench in the distance and every meter swam forward the sharks seemed to look more and more deformed. I got so close I realized those weren't dolphins or sharks, they were people. I pulled up on the trench and something arose from its depths. I recognized it instantly, The Dark Orca.
