Episode 3 (1/2)
The scene opens up with a bright moon lighting up the foggy forest below. A large lake, surrounded by trees and mist, stays undisturbed. Everything seems quiet at first until....
Ben: Cannonball!
Ben jumped into the lake, making a large splash before popping back up to the surface.
Ben: Judges score... yes! Perfect 10! Yeah! The crowd loves him!"
From the mainland Gwen stared at Ben looking unimpressed from the end of a pier, with a flashlight on hand.
Gwen: A perfect dweeb is more like it.
Ben: Come on, dive in!
Gwen: Please! Who knows what nasty, slimy things are slithering around in there.
Ben: I bet you change your mind if it was Y/n asking you.
Gwen: What make you thing that Y/n will agree on swimming in this lake-
Y/n: Cannonball!
Yelling from the other side of the pier, Y/n came running down already changed into his swim trunks. As he jumped over ledge and into the water, making a larger splash than Ben's splash. Spraying water on both Ben and Gwen.
Gwen/Ben: Hey!
Popping back up to the surface, Y/n spit some water from his mouth before laughing in excitement.
Y/n: Hahaha! That what I call a cannonball!
Ben: Not bad, Y/n!
Gwen: Ugh! Seriously, I'm all wet!
Y/n: Sorry, Gwen! Didn't see you there, I was too excited for a swim.
Gwen: It's alright just be careful next time.
Y/n: Why don't you join us? The water is fine after all.
Ben: Don't bother Y/n, Gwen already told me she doesn't want to swim in this slimy and nasty lake.
Y/n: Oh... that's too bad, I was hoping to see Gwen in her swimsuit.
This made Gwen blush as she was stuttering with her words.
Gwen: *Thought* H-He wants to see me i-in my swimsuit?!
Ben: Let's go, Y/n! Lets not waste anymore time-
Gwen: Wait! Give me a minute change quick.
Gwen ran back inside the Rust bucket to go change quick while Ben and Y/n waited in the lake.
Ben: How do you manage to change her mind every time?
Y/n: Who knows? *thought* It's best he doesn't know, I have a crush on Gwen.
Few minutes later...
Gwen came out of the Rust bucket wearing her swimsuit. Y/n couldn't help but blush seeing Gwen's swimsuit which Gwen noticed.
Gwen: Make way you two! Cannonball!
Gwen came charging in toward the pier as she jumps into the lake splashing the two boys in the crossfire.
Ben/ Y/n: Hey! Hahaha!
Gwen: Pay back!
Y/n: You done it now, Gwen!
The three of them immediately start splashing water at one another as they start having fun in the lake. Suddenly they felt something in the water that made them stop immediately.
Y/n: Whoa! Didn't anyone feel that?
Ben: Yeah... what the heck was that?
Gwen: Please don't tell me
The water bubbles and splashes behind the three causing them to turn and see a gigantic silhouette of a monster rising out of the water behind them, shocking trio greatly.
Gwen: What is that?!
Ben: Lake monster!!!
Y/n reacted quick and pulled out his Ultimatrix as he chooses a random alien immediately.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Y/n: Diamondhead! Ben gets Gwen out of here, now!
Ben nod in understanding, pulling out his watch and choosing an alien immediately.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
Ben: Let's go!
Gwen: Be careful, Y/n!
Ben takes Gwen to safety while Y/n jump at the massive beast in front of him, turning one of his hands into a spike ball and bashing the creature across the face.
Lake monster: *ROAR!!!!*
The creature use one of it massive tentacles on it face to grab Y/n midair.
Y/n: Oh, man...
The creature then drags him underwater, Y/n tries to break free from the monster grip but find it hard to do as he is having difficulty breathing.
Y/n: *thought* This isn't good!! At this rate, I'll pass out before I can break free.
Coming up with an idea, Y/n turn his hand into a sword and stab the creature tentacle clean through.
Lake monster: *cries of pain*
Resurfacing from the water, the creature throws Y/n away from a great distance before going back into water and swimming away to tend it wound.
Meanwhile...
Ben still in his alien form alongside Gwen are explaining to Granpa Max that there's a lake monster in the water and Y/n went to fight it.
Ben: We're telling truth, Grandpa! We were just attacked by a Lake monster!
Gwen: For once Ben is telling the truth, Grandpa! Y/n is out there fighting that thing!
Max: Ben, Gwen I understand, you kids like playing pranks sometimes but it already getting late. And you left Y/n alone in the water by himself! Do you have any idea how many creepy critters live in those waters?
Suddenly a loud crashing noise is heard as they turn their attention towards some nearby trees, where they see Y/n in his alien form crashed against some trees.
Ben/Gwen/Max: Y/n?!
They rush over to him to help as Ben remove the fallen debris off of Y/n before his watch time out. Gwen slam her hand on Y/n's chest to revert him back to normal as he start regain consciousness.
Y/n: Ow... I'm going to feel that in the morning...
Max: What happened?!
Y/n: Lake monster... almost tried to drown me... I managed to break free before it disappeared in the water...
Ben: See we told you!
Max: Not now, Ben.
Gwen: Are you ok? Anywhere hurt?
Y/n: Except this headache... nothing much, Diamondhead's body took most of the damage from the fight.
Gwen sigh in relief after hearing this.
Max: Come on, let get some ice for that headache of yours. We can talk more on what happened tonight later.
They help Y/n up as they make their back to the Rustbucket to rest for the night.
The Next Day...
After Y/n explained everything what happened last night to Grandpa Max, he was still a bit skeptical but seeing how Y/n came flying out of the water with extreme force. Grandpa Max, knew something must be going on in the lake but decided to focus on their fishing trip.
The four of them are walking across the dock while Y/n clutching his head still feeling some of the pain from last night fight.
Ben: No, really! It was humongous with these red glowing eyes-
Max: I understand Ben after seeing what happened to Y/n, I can't deny the fact they're something lurking in these waters. However, we can't let that effect our fishing trip!
Gwen: Are you sure that's a good idea, grandpa? I mean look at Y/n, he still recovering from last night fight.
Y/n: I'm fine- ow! Curse my raging headache...
Gwen: See! He can't join you guys on your fishing trip if he can barely hold his fishing rod.
Y/n: Nonsense, I can still join in on the fishing.
Max: Gwen is right, you had a rough night is best for you to sit this one out until you feel better.
Y/n felt a little disappointed but Gwen quickly cheered him up.
Gwen: It's okay, Y/n! I can keep you company, I'm not feeling comfortable going back into the water after last night.
Y/n: Thanks, Gwen.
While Y/n and Gwen stay behind, Max and Ben make their way toward the boat. From there, Max greet the captain of the boat.
Max: Captain Shaw?
Shaw: Who wants to know?
Max: I'm Max Tennyson, and this is my grandson, Ben. We chartered your boat today for a fishing trip.
Shaw: Well what're you waiting for, an engraved invitation? Get aboard, I ain't got all day.
Ben excitedly moves to get on the boat, though Max seems concerned before joining Ben as the ship sets off, down the lake.
Timeskip....
A great amount of time has passed after their departure from the dock and nothing exciting has happened for the last couple of hours.
Max: Anything... interesting out there to catch today?
Shaw: More than you can imagine... Looks like your boy's using his breakfast as chum.
Max sees Ben, with his head over the end of the boat.
Max: Ben? You feeling okay?
Ben: Yeah, I'm just keeping an eye out for the lake monster. That thing's not taking me by surprise this time!
Suddenly Ben sees a monstrous silhouette in the water and gasp.
Ben: There it is!
The silhouette becomes clear as it passes, revealing just a collection of brambles and rubbish.
Ben: Oh, my bad.
Max: Now, Ben. This is a fishing trip, not a monster hunt.
This caught the captain attention as he corrected Max.
Shaw: It's called 'the Krakken'.
Ben: Whoa. You know about it?
Shaw: It's my business to know about it.
The captain pulls out a photo from his vest as he hands it to Ben. The photo reminiscent of the 'Loch Ness Monster' photo.
Shaw: I've been on its tail for years. Folks say my rudder's not right.
Max: Why doesn't that surprise me?
Shaw: Sightings go back hundreds of years, on this very lake. Some say it's a myth... not me! I could take you to a spot where I personally laid eyes upon the beast. That is, if you've got the stomach for some real adventure!
Ben looks up to a reluctant Max expectingly and smiling.
Max: I guess so...
Ben: Alright!
After they change objective from fishing to seeking the legendary Kraken, the captain explains the tech he has on the ship in order to track down the creature.
Shaw: Sonar, high-def video setup, ultrasound. I got it all. And I will find it. Mark my words, it can't hide forever.
Max takes Ben aside to speak privately.
Max: Ben, I don't want you to put too much stock in what mister Shaw says. I don't think he has both oars in the water, if you know what I mean.
Ben: Why? Just because he saw the Krakken too?
Ben walks away in a huff, with Max saddened.
Max: Now, I'm wishing Y/n was here to talk some sense into Ben.
Later...
The ship floats by, Shaw at the helm paying attention to the sonar, but they suddenly comes up against a blockage of buoys and tape.
Shaw: "Do not enter"? What's going on?
Max: Looks official. Maybe we should turn back!.
Shaw: Nonsense, this is my lake and I'll go where ever I-
Distant Voice: Fishing boat! Stop where you are.
Greeting Shaw and the crew friendlily, and pulling up alongside their boat.
Jonah: I am Jonah Melville, the founder of 'Friends of Fish", we've closed this section of the lake for an environmental study. You'll have to turn your boat around.
Shaw: Suppose you make me, fish-hugger?
Max: Well, since I chartered the boat for the day, I believe I'm in charge. Isn't that right, Captain?
Captain Shaw grumbles and reluctantly makes his way up the boat.
Ben: But- What about the Krakken?
Jonah: *chuckle* The Krakken? Not that old fish story? Look, I'm a marine biologist. Anyone who tells you they've seen a monster in this lake, is casting without a hook.
Ben: .....
15 minutes later....
Shaw's boat travels back to the docks, trailing behind the 'Friends of Fish' boat. Out of nowhere, the ship's sonar pings, alerting Shaw.
Shaw: The sonar! We've found something!
A shark-like fin pop to the surface of the water as Ben, Max, and The Captain witnessed something coming their way.
Ben: Or something's found us! Look!
Shaw walks out and sees the fin dip below the water.'
Shaw: The Krakken!
The fin passes under Shaw's boat, revealing its true size, and rocking the boat.
Shaw: It's heading for the docks!
Ben/Max: Gwen! Y/n!
The Krakken's fin rushing towards the docks at a high speed. Unbeknownst to Gwen, sitting at the end of the pier rocking her feet with Y/n sitting next to her.
Gwen: Ah~! Finally a little sun, and with my big-mouth cousin nowhere in sight, I can just lay back and relax... *thought* And what's better is that I'm all alone with Y/n~! This is my chance to confess to him without Ben or Grandpa Max interrupting.
Gwen notice Y/n is suddenly went quite.
Gwen: Y/n? Is there something wrong?
Y/n: ..... Something is coming this way.
Gwen was confused by this as she remained unaware of the speeding creature coming their way.
To be continue...
