Tanith

The culture I had come to know in Atlantis was slowly but surely settling in for me. I had started to understand Christmas, somewhat at least; Thanksgiving, which was a pretty fun holiday; And New Years, which was the easiest given my people also celebrated it, though in a different way.

Halloween was the one I thought was most confusing, but then came Easter.

Poor CannibalCrab, stuck with answering my endless questions about it.

"So let me get this straight..." I huffed, slithering by his side as I tried to wrap my head around it. "You get a bunch of candy and stuff from a bunny?" He nodded his head. "And there's lots of eggs too?" Another nod. "How does this relate to a man rising from the dead? How to eggs and bunnies correlate at all?"

CannibalCrab hesitated, stopping in his tracks. In one of his claws was a bunch of plastic eggs full of sweets and other goodies, which he was hiding all over the Conch Command. As I waited for a response, his eyes slowly drifted downwards. "That's a good question..." Soon, he was staring at the eggs and starting to reevaluate his life. His head shook suddenly and he started walking again. "Best not to question it." He answered.

The crab paused when we reached the back of the Conch Command. He handed me some eggs and started to point in random places. "Hide some!" He ordered, which I complied and started to put them behind the giant crab statue and in the coral. Once finished, we set off again.

"What's this all for?" I asked.

"The big Easter egg hunt! We throw one every year! Everyone tries to get as many eggs as possible: Winner gets a week of free anything from CrankyCrab's place. Rules are this: No stealing others eggs, and that's it! You can sabotage others, but no stealing! Once someone has an egg, it's theirs! It's safe as long as it is in a basket. People even team up sometimes, there are betrayals, but that's pretty normal for a villain society."

I blinked but went along with it. "Anything else? I haven't seen KK around anywhere..."

He laughed. "Oh, he's out with Blooper planting-" He paused suddenly and shot me a look. "Wait... You're with Atlantis, right?"

"Yes."

"Never mind then... They're out doing stuff. Father-son bonding, you know?" I raised an eyebrow but found it best not to ask. The less I knew, the better.

CannibalCrab grinned as the last basket had only one left, and scanned the terrain. "Alright, last one... Gotta make it good." He began to fiddle with it, taking his time to thing about the right place to put it. As he did, the cheap plastic broke it open and spilled out the remains.

"Aww crap!" He groaned but then stiffened. "Ohhhhh crap..."

Confused, I glanced down but found myself doing the same. "Is that-"

"C4? Yes... Yes it is. Oh no." He whispered the last part.

I couldn't help but scoop it up, careful not to set it off. "Why would you place explosives in a egg?" I wondered out loud. CannibalCrab gulped. 

"Those were supposed to be for Atlantis." My gaze snapped up to him in shock as he went on. "KrakenKid was going to place them all over the palace for Cody to find... He must've grabbed the wrong ones!"

My jaw soon dropped open. "Doesn't that mean..." He nodded and looked up.

"We just planted bombs all around the Conch Command..."
