Techno Trolls

Meet Cloud Guy

The gang had finally made it to the edge of Shark City.

However, there were many tunnels besides the old escape tunnel.

Trollex said, "Wow, so many."

Laguna said, "An extravagant quantity."

"How can we tell which is the right one?"

"I'm not sure."

Just then...

"Choose a hole wisely..."

They heard a loud, mysterious voice.

"For one will lead to Shark City..."

Beat Drop hid behind Trollex.

"And the others...to certain *echo* death."

Laguna shouted out, "Who said that?"

"It was..."

Cloud Guy popped out, wearing a helmet, "Me."

Cloud Guy approached the trio, "Hey, guys, how's it going? Uh, I just wanted to warn you; One of these tunnels leads to Shark City and the others...*Mysterious voice* to certain *echo* death, death, death..."

Trollex asked him, "Do you think you could tell us which is the right one?"

Cloud Guy answered, "You bet."

"Great."

However, Laguna said, "No. That won't be necessary. Thank you."

Trollex said to her, "Laguna, he's trying to help us."

Laguna responded, "How can he? Look at him. I mean, who wears socks with no shoes?"

Cloud Guy tried to picked his teeth, but couldn't get through the helmet, then waved at them.

Trollex then said, "Ok, he doesn't seem like the brightest dolphin in the pod, but he's possibly the best chance we've got. We should give him a chance."

Laguna hesitantly agreed, "Ok, fine."

She asked Cloud Guy, "Could you please tell us where to go?"

Cloud Guy answered, "First, you have to give me a high-five, then I'll tell you."

Laguna was confused, "Come again?"

Trollex quickly said, "Oh! Oh! I love high-fives! I'll do it!"

Cloud Guy responded, "Oh, I know you'll do it. But, will she? Alright, clever cod, up high."

Laguna instead responded, "Sorry, but no. I don't do high-fives."

"Slap it, boss."

"Not gonna happen."

"Party on the top floor."

"Nope."

"Little slappy? Make Daddy happy?"

"That's weird."

"Come on. Just one little high-five."

"Oh, no thanks. I'm good."

"Here. Just do this..."

He high-fived himself.

"But with your hand."

Laguna just responded, "Thank you for that demonstration. Really cleared up exactly what I will not be doing."

Trollex said to her, "Laguna! It's a high-five! The others lead to certain death! Just go with it!"

Laguna looked at Cloud Guy.

She finally said to him, "One high-five and then you'll tell us which tunnel to take, right?"

Cloud Guy responded, "So easy."

Laguna agreed, "Ok, fine."

However, when she tried, Cloud Guy pulled his hand away, "Whoop! Too slow."

"Too slow?"

Cloud Guy snickered.

So did Trollex and Beat Drop, "Classic."

Laguna then said, "Ok. I did a high-five. So, where do we go?"

However, Cloud Guy said, "Not so fast, sea blast. It's technically a high-five if the hands of two different people come together. Yours didn't come together with mine."

Laguna started to get riled up, "Seriously?!"

Cloud Guy then said, "But, no worries. You can make up for it with a fist pump."

However, when she tried to fist pump...

"Whoop! Shark attack! Nom-nom-nom..."

He did different moves with her fist out.

"Jellyfish! Hand sandwich. Turkey. Snowman. Dolphin. Helicopter. Last Supper. Monkey in a zoo."

"What?"

"Gearshift!"

He took her fist and pretended he was driving a car with her fist as a gearshift.

Cloud Guy then burst out laughing.

Trollex and Beat Drop also let out a few laughs.

They stopped when Laguna glared at them.

Cloud Guy stopped, "Ok, ok, ok. Now, I'm thinking we hug."

Instead, Laguna grabbed a nearby coral and split it into two sharp corals, like daggers.

Cloud Guy thundered.

Laguna chased after Cloud Guy with Trollex and Beat Drop trying to stop her.

"That's right! You better swim, cloud!"

"Laguna! No! Wait!"

"I'm gonna tear your cloud limbs..."

"Laguna!"

"...off your cloud body..."

"Stop!"

"...rip that helmet off..."

"Laguna!"

"...and high-five your face with them!"

"He's just a cloud!"

"Get back here!"

"Laguna! He can help us!"

"Come back!"

"Swim, Cloud Guy!"

"I'm gonna kill you!"

However, he suddenly stopped.

"Ta-da! We're here."

Cloud Guy had them swimming through the right tunnel.

"Whoo! You guys are a lot of fun. You know, I gotta go. Got some cloud stuff to take care of. Catch you on the way back? Unless...*echo* you die."

Cloud Guy then left them.
