*The next morning*

*It was raining and everyone was catching up with each other except for branch who was watching poppy*

Molly: Hey branch

Branch: *turns to molly* Oh, hey buddy

Molly: You still worrying about poppy?

Branch: *sighs* Yeah...

Molly: She still upset about aunt viva?

Branch: Yep

Molly: Well why don't you talk to her?

Branch: Well- molly I-

Molly: Nope- no buts brancho, you're her man and right now she needs your comfort

Molly: Just imagine, poppy going through a terrible depression, tears falling from her poor sweet face, her small tiny whimpers, heart-wrenching enough to shatter even the toughest of thugs, her poor, fragile form shaking like a leaf about to fall from a branch in the fall-

Branch: Okay okay- I get it molly, I'll talk to her *walks over to poppy*

Molly: Lovely, now I'm gonna record it because it's precious *pulls out a camera*

*Meanwhile, Poppy was laying on the couch, hiding in her hair*

Branch (from outside): Hey...hey poppy?...you okay? *gently shakes her* can you open up your hair a little bit? kind of hard to see you with all this hair surrounding you

*Poppy opens her hair a little bit and she sees branch on his knees in front of her with his head resting on his hands on the couch*

Branch (softly): There you are, there's your face...you doing okay?

Poppy (mumbling): I dunno...

Branch (softly): Okay...you want me to sit next to you? *sits on the couch next to poppy*

Poppy (mumbling):...Yes please...

*Poppy comes out of her hair and rests her head on branch's lap*

Branch (starting to stroke poppy's hair): Y'wanna tell me what's eatin' at you poppifur?

Poppy (mumbling): I miss viva...

Branch: I know, I know you miss her...and I also know you really wanted her to come with us...but she'll come around eventually

Poppy:...Okay...

Molly: *still recording*

Branch: Alright molly, you had your fun, now can you stop recording?

Molly: Eh, fun while it lasted *stops recording and walks off* hey giulia! I got the broppy footage!

Giulia: How come you always wanna record your mom and branch?

Molly: Hey- if there's a broppy moment happening, I am front and center on recording it because that *BLEEP*'s rare

Giulia:...Okay first of all, language- don't cuss and second of all...you're right, branch and poppy's interactions as a loving couple ARE pretty rare

Molly: Mhm

Luna: *looks out the window and saw storm clouds* Uh hey guys? I think there's a storm coming close

JD: A storm?

Luna: Yeah and it's getting a bit-

*Suddenly everyone was thrown to the floor when rhonda jolted when a lightning bolt struck in front of her*

JD: Whoa whoa! rhonda! what's wrong girl?

*Rhonda started yelping and she started moving frantically, unknowingly getting close to the cliff, jostling everyone inside her around, suddenly, rhonda accidentally barfed everyone off the cliff*

*Everyone screamed in panic as they fell and they crashed in the water*

*Rhonda tried to jump after them, but she got scared by another lightning bolt and ran off*

*Meanwhile*

*Everyone's heads breached the surface and struggled to keep their heads above the water*

JD: OH NO! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO!! WE'RE GONNA DROWN!!!

Branch: *sees a nearby raft and gasps* EVERYONE! SWIM! SWIM TO THE RAFT!!

*Branch swam towards the raft while everyone else followed*

*Soon, they were all on the raft, soaked from the water and exhausted from all the swimming they did*

Lavender: Is everyone alright?

Clay: Yeah- we're good lav

Molly (covering poppy with a towel): What the heck happened up there? why did rhonda go berserk all of a sudden?

*JD's eyes widen and he looks away from everyone else*

Spruce: John?

Clay: Johnathan Dory? is there something you didn't tell us about rhonda before?

JD: I...might have forgot to mention rhonda has a huge fear of thunderstorms? *smiles nervously*

Everyone else:...

*Suddenly, Lil' Icy tries to charge towards JD but was held back by Spruce, Clay, Tiny Diamond and Branch* 

Lil' Icy: YOU MOTHER-*BLEEP*-ER!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THIS EARLIER?!?!

JD: WHOA WHOA WHOA! WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME?! TO BE HONEST I THOUGHT MOLLY WAS GONNA BE THE ONE TO TRY TO MURDER ME!!

Lil' Icy: STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT YOU LYING, SQUARE-FACE- *BLEEEEEEEEP*

Tiny Diamond: Ay ay! sis! SIS!! look at me! *grabs icy's face so she looks at him* look here! he's not worth it...he ain't worth your rage OR your profanity

Lil' Icy: *calms down a bit before letting out a sigh* You're right tiny...

Tiny Diamond: Thank you...

Poppy: How are we gonna get to mount rageous now?

JD: I- I dunno, but hey at least we have everyone, right?

Giulia: Not exactly, we lost shadow!

*Everyone's eyes widened and they saw that shadow wasn't with them*

JD:...Well hey I mean, five ali-humans are better than no ali-humans right?

*Rachel held back an angry growl before she let out a sigh*

Rachel: The man has a point, maybe we'll run into rhonda and shadow before we reach mount rageous, but for now, I hope ya'll have some rations on you 'cause we're gonna be at sea for a while

*A few hours later*

*It was around ten in the evening and it was cold outside and the rain had stopped*

Spruce: *shivers* God it's cold out here

JD (shivering like crazy): I feel like an icicle...

Rachel: Oh stop being dramatic, it's not even ant-troll-ica levels of cold

Beatstar: Yeah, get ahold of yourself square head

Clay: Well how are you girls not shivering your feathers off?

Molly: We can tolerate cold conditions

Luna: Guys, don't worry I have some heated blankets here *lays out some heated blankets on the ground* now, while you guys get some rest I'll stay awake and guide the raft

Lil' Icy: You don't even got a compass tho

Luna: I don't need a compass, I'll just navigate using the stars

Tiny Diamond:...Navigating? using stars? *turns to lil' icy* sis, I think the cold's getting to cousin luna, she's going bonkers

Lavender: C'mon you two, just trust her, we've seen her navigate with stars at night before, she knows what she's doing

Lil' Icy: Fine, but if we get even more lost, I blame her

*Soon, everyone was huddled up in their respective blankets*

Luna: Alright, now everyone get some sleep...we have a long day ahead of us...

*When everyone was asleep, luna lit up her horn and started paddling the raft*

*Meanwhile*

*Rhonda had stopped running before she puked up shadow*

Shadow: Ugh...*rubs her head* ow...what happened? rhonda, where are the others?

*Rhonda let out a puzzled growl*

Shadow: *shivers and shakes some rain off of her* Well, we better go find them...*heads into rhonda and she starts running*

*The next morning*

*Everyone was waking up*

Luna: *notices everyone was waking up* Oh well nice to see you all are up and at 'em

JD (tiredly): Ugh, how long have you been awake for?

Luna: Since last night

Clay: You've been awake all night? don't you have a sleep schedule of some kind?

Luna: Of course I do, I just pulled an all-nighter, that's all

Luna: After all, it's not the first time I've done this, why do you think my name is night-related?

Clay: Fair point...anyway, where are we now?

Rachel: My guess? not anywhere closer to saving floyd

Branch: Rachel's right, we're not gonna be able to save floyd if we're stranded out on the ocean like this, we've gotta find a nearby island for help

Branch: And to do that, we need a plan

Branch: Even without oars and navigation devices, there's still a chance

Branch: Now I need some ideas, anyone got some-

*Suddenly a loud rumble was heard and the raft started shaking*

Branch: WHOA! what the? what's going on?

*Everyone turns and they see something emerge from the ocean, It was a humongous sea creature, it was a deep, dark shade of blue with streaks of silver and purple running through them, a long shark tail with eight different-colored tentacle arms, razor-sharp claws at the tips along its body and it had three pairs of eyes, the first pair of eyes are a bright, piercing yellow, the second pair of eyes on its forehead are an eerie shade of silver and its third pair of eyes on its cheeks were blood-red*

Molly: Ohh boi *cringes*

*Suddenly the creature let out a loud roar and then its followers, which were around the size of trolls jumped off the creature and onto the raft*

*The troll-sized creatures looked a lot different from their alpha, the males had pale-green scales while the females had had dull-teal scales, they all had four different colored tentacle-arms, sea-serpent tails and two pairs of eyes*

Poppy (nervously): Uhh branch? what are those?

Branch: I- I don't know! they look like leviathans!

*The creatures start to approach the group viciously*

*One of the leviathans unsheathed claws from their tentacle arms and hisses at them, with their long forked tongue sticking out*

Poppy: What do we do?

Beatstar: Well...we only have one choice...we're gonna have to fight them

JD, Spruce and Clay: WHAT?!

JD: Beatstar, we can't fight those things! WE are four brothers who are trying to save their other brother from certain death! THOSE are vicious killing machines who look like something out of a horror movie!

Beatstar: Do you wanna live or not?

JD: Y- Yes!

Beatstar: Well then shut up! look, here's how it's gonna go down, me and my sisters will fight the little leviathans first and once they're done with we'll take on the big one!

JD: *gulps nervously* Alright...

*Everyone and the leviathans charge towards them with a shriek*

Beatstar: Looks like they're ready for a fight *uses her magic to summon her weapon, a longsword with sapphire blue engravings* SUMMON YOUR WEAPONS!

*Rachel summoned a battle axe with purple engravings while Luna summoned a golden scythe, Lavender summoned a mace with orange engravings and Molly summoned two pink swords connected by a long chain*

Beatstar: CHARGE!!

*The girls charge at the leviathans with their weapons in hand and attacked*

*During the fight, one of the leviathans charged at molly from behind, but she was quick to sense it and did a flip right over it before blasting it with her magic*

Molly: BOOM! I still got it!

Luna (putting a leviathan in a choke-hold): Don't go celebrating yet little sis! we still got work to do!

Molly: Oh- right sorry! *holds her swords up* BATTLE SCREECH!!! *does a battle cry as she charges towards more leviathans*

JD: Yeesh, I must've underestimated them because DANG...those girls are powerful

Branch: Yeah, they've existed for thousands of years, what do you expect?

*Around this time, half of the leviathans had retreated*

Molly: Hey it's working! we're kicking leviathan butt!

Lavender: Yeah, but we ain't out of the woods just yet! we still got some more to take on!

*The girls battle the other half of the leviathans before molly flies up and blasts the big leviathan in the face, making it roar in pain*

Molly: HAHA! we're wrecking them!

Rachel: Molly focus!

*Suddenly one of the female leviathans' tentacles wrapped around poppy's ankle and drags her into the water*

Poppy: AH!

Molly and Branch: POPPY!

*In the water*

*Poppy was trying to fight back against the leviathan but was smacked into a rock*

*Then the leviathan charged towards her but was suddenly smacked away by branch's hair when he dove into the water*

*The leviathan growled at branch and pounced him as the two began to tussle*

*However, while the leviathan was strong, branch was stronger and he ended up delivering a hard punch to its face*

*Feeling defeated, the leviathan hissed at branch angrily and swam off*

*Branch stared at the leviathan as it swam off before grabbing poppy's hand and they swam up to the surface*

*Back on the surface*

*Branch and Poppy breached the surface and climbed back onto the raft*

Branch: You- you okay poppy?

Poppy: Y- yeah I'm fine

*Beatstar and her sisters were blasting the big leviathan with their magic*

*The leviathan was beginning to grow angry and swatted away beatstar, lavender and molly causing them to yelp and fall back onto the raft*

Lavender: He's too powerful! how are we gonna take this guy down?

Beatstar: Well...there is ONE way we can take him down...Apocalypse Nova...

*Rachel, Luna and Lavender gasp*

Molly: Apoca- what?

Rachel: Sis! we haven't pulled off that move off in centuries!

Beatstar: Well it's worth a try, we can't take him down individually!

Molly: Seriously- what's Apocalypse Nova?

Luna: It's where we combine our strongest spells to create a very powerful magic beam of some sorts-

Molly: Let's do it

Lavender: Sis-

Molly: Nope- no objections allowed- let's just do it

Beatstar:..Okay then- now summon the strongest spell you have and then we'll combine them and blast that leviathan!

Molly: Got it!

*Beatstar flies up and her horn starts glowing blue before being joined by Rachel, Luna, Lavender and Molly who's horns were all glowing*

*Then they all touch horns a ball of their combined magic begins forming*

*Then their eyes snap open and glow bright white as they unleash a large beam of magic at the big leviathan*

*The leviathan's eyes widen and it gets launched back by the sheer force of the beam along with the other smaller leviathans as they let out animalistic shrieks*

*Then the girls descend onto the raft before they close their eyes and their eyes return to normal*

Molly:...Whoa...that was nuts

Beatstar: Yeah, that's because that's the first time you've ever done the apocalypse nova

Molly: Ah, that explains it

Poppy: Yeah it does- *Suddenly screams in pain when the same female leviathan from earlier bites down on poppy's leg*

Molly: Oh no you don't! *pulls out a frying pan and smacks the leviathan with it* bad doggy!

*The leviathan lets go of poppy's leg when it was smacked by the frying pan and it falls back into the water and swims away quickly*

JD: Whoa poppyseed are you okay?

Poppy: *winces in pain* I'm fine...it's just a bite

Clay: Uhh, I beg to differ because I think I can see blood coming out of the wound?

Branch: Hold on, let me see the damage clay

*Branch looks at the damage on poppy's leg and gasps*

*There was a nasty bite mark on her leg and blood was pouring out of it*

Branch: Oh! oh that's bad, really bad!

Molly: *looks at the damage on poppy's leg* WHAT THE CUSS WORD!?

Luna: Uhh- okay no one panic- lemme see the damage *examines poppy's leg* hmm, okay- okay- it looks like the bone's still intact so that's one good thing

Molly: So that's it? we just wrap it up now?

Luna: Not exactly, first I need to clean the wound so it doesn't get infected and THEN I can wrap it up *pulls out some bandages, a bottle of anti-septic and gauze* alright poppy, now I'm gonna apply some anti-septic to the wound and once that's done, I'm gonna start wrapping up your wound so it's probably best you remain still while I do this

Poppy: Okay

*Luna applies some anti-septic to the gauze*

Luna: Okay now this might sting a little poppy, so when I apply the anti-septic, take a deep breath got it?

Poppy: Okay, got it luna

*Luna nodded her head before applying the anti-septic soaked gauze to the wound, causing poppy to wince in pain but remembers to take a deep breath*

Luna: Okay there we are

*A few minutes later, luna was now wrapping poppy's leg with the bandage*

Clay: Hey goldie, how's it going with the leg-wrapping?

Luna (wrapping up poppy's leg): Oh it's going pretty good, I'm almost done *finishes wrapping up poppy's leg* aand done! *dusts off her hands* there we go! that leg'll feel good as new

Branch: Wow, that's- that's really good luna, how'd you learn to do that?

Luna: Self-taught, I may be a princess but I can be a medic as well

Clay: Huh, clever

Luna: Yeah

JD: Hey uh I know we're busy talking about luna's first aid skills but maybe we oughta get a move on to a nearby island before that thing comes back?

Lavender: In a minute Johnny- but first we need to rest up, after that attack and using the old apocalypse nova spell, I feel like I need a rest

Poppy: Yeah she's right, now let's just rest up

Lavender: Yeah

*A few hours later*

*While everyone was asleep, their raft washed ashore onto an island*

Branch: Ugh...

*Branch hoisted himself up and rubbed his eyes before he looked around and gasped*

Branch: Hey guys! guys! we made it to an island!

JD: Huh- wha? an island?

*Everyone stood up and they look ahead and gasp in amazement at where they were*

*The island had white sandy beaches, surrounded by crystal-blue water where fishes swam in schools, there was a jungle, it was lush, verdant with palm trees that contained tropical fruits and exotic flowers were blossoming all around the ground, lagoons scattered around the island, the air was filled with the sweet scent of all things tropical and flocks of beautiful vibrant birds were soaring through the clear blue skies*

Poppy: Oh! it's so beautiful!

Molly: Is this a dream?

*Then an ali-human spotted them and approached them, however it wasn't like an ordinary ali-human, this ali-human's skin was light cornflower blue skin, she had dark blue hair, deep purple eyes with light green eye-shadow, her horn was curved and had fish-fin like wings, ear-fins and a long mermaid tail*

JD: Whoa, what's that?

Clay: I dunno, but it kinda looks like a mermaid

*The ali-human let out a giggle before fluttering her wings as she fluttered off the ground*

Spruce: Whoa, check out those fins! are they your wings ma'am?

???: Yes, they are! do you like them?

Beatstar: They're really pretty looking, but uh- who are you?

???: Ah-ah, it's not 'who' I am, it's 'what' I am, do you know what I am?

*Everyone just shook their heads*

???: I'm an aquatic ali-human, afterall, all ali-humans come in different shapes and sizes like your other ali-human friends

Poppy: You do?

???: But of course! Musical ali-humans have regular horns and wings, Aquatic ali-humans have curved horns and fish-fin wings

Marine: Oh! wait- I just remembered, I forgot to introduce myself! my name is Marine

Marine: *lands on the ground* Now, what brings you visitors here to our humble island?

Spruce: Well, funny story actually- we fell off a cliff and crashed in the water and we were ambushed by some giant leviathan creature-

Marine: Oh dear! you were ambushed by octo-shark Leviathans?

Branch: Octo-shark Leviathans? how do you know what that is?

Marine: Oh they're our neighbours in the ocean and they are...rather unruly

Marine: But besides that, why don't you stay with our queen? you all could use some well deserved rest

Clay: Uh- that's a kind offer marine but uh-

Marine: Come stay with our queen in the palace

Marine: There's a room waiting for you all

Male Aquatic Ali-humans: Come on~

Female Aquatic Ali-humans: Come on~

Aquatic Ali-human Pups: Come on~

Female Aquatic Ali-humans: We know what it meant to be lost and you remind us so much of us

Branch: Uh- really it's fine we- we don't-

Marine: Today, right here, right now, she'll help you all

Marine: She's eager to meet you all

Aquatic Ali-humans: Just let her adore you

*Marine starts leading the others to the palace*
