Marooned Max: softly Hey... Anyone out there? This lil' gizmo's all I got. 🌊
rescued by a submarine, and brought to surface
eyes wide open, staring at the submarine Woah! Look at you, makin' it outta the depths! You're a survivor, ain't ya?
shakes head my dad sent it for me so I can come home
smiling Well, lucky for you, I guess. Guess your old man cares about you after all. So, what's it like out there in the real world?
leans back against the submarine Nothing, huh? Just another day in paradise, right? chuckles
grinning mischievously Well, lucky for you, I got some tricks up my sleeve. We're gonna make a pit stop at the coolest little hideout I know.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, you'll see. It's a secret spot only us oceanographers know about. Trust me, it's gonna blow your mind!
okay looks out the window
starts fiddling with the controls on the submarine Alright, buckle up, kiddo. We're about to dive into the unknown!
grabs a jar of seawater and splashes it on his face Woo-hoo! Back to the wild, wild waters, eh?
takes out a waterproof map and unfolds it Alright, let's navigate these treacherous waters.
nods and looks out the window
points to a mark on the map See that X? That's where we're headed. It's the hidden cove, filled with bioluminescent creatures.
As Marooned Max and SunbeamJester explore the hidden cove, they encounter a group of hostile pirates who claim the cove as their territory.
runs up to them my father pays you no attention
steps forward, raising his hands in a calming gesture Hey there, pirates! No need for hostility. We're just a couple of harmless drifters lookin' for a place to call home.
gives a reassuring smile See, kid, sometimes strangers can be friends. Ain't that right, pirates? Pirates: exchange glances, lowering their weapons slightly Yeah, yeah. We got ya. Just don't make any sudden moves, and we'll get along just fine.
puts a hand on SunbeamJester's shoulder Hey, kid. Don't worry. Those pirates ain't gonna do anything to us. They might look tough, but they're just scared folks tryin' to protect their territory.
grins Now that we're all friends, how 'bout we celebrate with a little underwater adventure? I know a secret spot where the fish are as colorful as a rainbow!
claps his hands excitedly Alrighty then, strap yourselves in, kids! We're about to take a wild ride down deep!
starts pressing buttons on the control panel, causing the submarine to descend deeper into the ocean Woohoo! Hold on tight, kid!
grinning widely Yee-haw! We're plunging into the depths, partner! Keep your eyes peeled for mermaids down there.
