Chapter 24: Nowhere Land

There was absolutely nothing. After they stepped out of the Submarine, the only thing Blue could see was herself, her friends and the Submarine itself. "This is scary." She murmured, cautiously stepping. Because there was no horizon, she couldn't tell where the floor ending, the sky started and where "nothingness" actually began.

"This is amazing!" Grinned Finn. "We're actually here!" To Blue's surprise he actually did a cartwheel to celebrate.

"Where do we find a Boob?" Roger asked seriously. "I left Thelma in the Sub, so she can't help us." Replied Emily. "She said she needed to recharge."

"Okay."

Squinting her eyes, Blue peered into the distance. Everything was a pearly white and she was fairly sure if she kept staring at it she would go snow blind. She saw a faint shadowy shape and pointed to it. "Look at that!"

They made their way to the shape to find it was the tip of a Kraken tentacle, dead and surrounded by dry blood. "Eww, gross." Complained Roger. "It must be the part of the Kraken that you chopped off with the portal back in the cave."

Emily stared at the closed eyelid. She shuddered at the memory of when it was alive.

"That's a bit disappointing." Finn said pointedly. "We still need to find a Boob."

"True that." Replied Blue, who was already peering around again. The only other thing she could see was the Submarine. "Why don't we see if there's something helpful in the Sub?" She asked.

"Good idea." Replied Roger, already heading towards it.

In the Submarine, Finn investigated more buttons on the base panel. "There's one here called heat signature detector." He said before pressing it. Instantly, a radar shot up out of a flap in the panel and started rotating, scanning for life forms.

The screen above it displayed what the radar could see. Four children and something small and very faint in the distance. Finn peered at the screen. "I think we've found our Boob."
