It was another day in the Digital Circus, Caine had once again summoned the gang to the main floor for another challenge, as always, they were a bit…annoyed except Oliver. “I wonder what it’s gonna be today?” He asked excitedly, “I just hope it’s nothing too…crazy.” Zooble just muttered, that’s when Caine appeared.
“HHHHello my fellow friends!” He greeted them, “Alright, what’s the adventure today Caine?” Jax asked, “I’m glad you asked!” Caine said, getting a little too close to Jax, he then pulled Bubbles out of his hat, “Care to explain Bubbles.” Caine told the bubble, Bubbles nodded and once again, summoned a board.
“Rules are verrry simple, you need to defeat a fish god, once you do, you win.” Bubbles explained very briefly, “If not, you’re doomed.” He also added, the gang just starred, “Yeah, that’s reassuring.” Jax muttered, “Um, if I can ask, how are we gonna even breathe under water?” Pomni asked.
Suddenly, balls formed around the gang and absorbed into them, “Uh, what did you do?” Gangle asked Caine, “I simply gave you the power of breathing so you won’t have to worry about any type of drowning.” He explained, “Oh, well I guess that works.” Pomni muttered, with that, Caine snapped his fingers and they disappeared to the water.

The gang arrived underwater, “Alright, good luck, and beware of the fishes.” Caine told them before he disappeared, leaving the gang to their adventure, “Fishes, what is he talking about?” Pomni asked, suddenly, a bunch of fishes appeared around them, luckily, they looked quite friendly.
“Aww, hello there guys.” Ragatha greeted them, as she got very close to them, they suddenly turned hostile on her, they swarmed around her, “What the, what’s going on?!” Ragatha shouted, it wasn’t long before the fish lifted her and took her away, “Um…what just happened?” Jax asked, as everyone else was confused, Oliver seemed a bit distraught.
“RAGATHA, NO!!” He shouted, but he couldn’t chase after her, and she was long gone, he began crying. Pomni came over and comforted him, “Don’t worry, we’ll get her back.” She told the kid, “Yeah, screw the fish god, or whatever, let’s get her back asap.” Zooble said, “A-Alright, let’s do this.” Oliver said.
The gang adventure was underway, “God, how far must’ve they taken her?” Jax asked, “Let’s just keep going, we shouldn’t be too far off.” Zooble responded, after a bit, they decided to take a quick rest, as they did, they heard a voice, “Hey…” A voice came from a nearby cave, the gang looked to see a person real his head, “I see your heading for the fish god I see.” The man said.
“Yeah, why?” Jax asked, “Well, you see, the fish is very powerful and you’ll need some weapons to defeat it.” The man explained, he then revealed some weapons to them, they ranged from swords to knives, “So, take these and take that monster down, please.” The man said, “Um, alright, let’s do this.” Jax responded, with that, the gang started off again.

Finally, the gang arrived at their destination, they saw the fish god resting as Ragatha was tied up to a pole, “There she is.” Pomni said, “Let’s save her.” Oliver said, “Careful Oliver, we can’t just go in, or we’ll be captured.” Zooble said, “We’ll sneak in and kill that thing.” Zooble said, they started.
They quietly tiptoed to Ragatha and cut her free from her ropes, “Thanks guys.” She whispered to them, “Now, let’s…” Oliver was saying before they heard a roar, they looked to see that the fish god had woken, “Oh, why hello there fella.” Kinger greeted him, “You fools, time for you to die!!” The fish god shouted.
Soon, a fight erupted out, most of the crew got wiped by the god, all except Oliver and Kinger, “Kinger, what are we gonna do!?” Oliver shouted in a panic, “Um…um…” Kinger pondered, then he walked over to the fish god, “What do you think you’re doing you mortal.” The fish god boomed at him, “…you’ll be served with chicken.” Kinger simply said.
“W-What?” The fish god questioned, “Yeah, you’ll be put on a platter with sauces and stuff like that, and we’ll eat you.” Kinger explained, the fish god sat there, stuttering at the thought being eaten by them, “Uh, uh…uhh.” He kept saying before he exploded, “Wow, nice job Kinger.” Oliver said, “Yay.” Kinger simply said.

After all that, their reward was getting to eat some of the fish, “Now this tastes great.” Jax said, “Yeah, I agree with you for once.” Gangle said, as the gang enjoyed the meal, on a little screen, a shadow man watched, having a needle in his hand, he chuckled to himself, “Time to enact my plan .” He muttered, then walked off.
