The trio return to the throne room in the palace.

Shira: Once again, you all have made it back here in one piece.

Kine: You can say that again! Whoever left it there, should've also left a sign that says "Danger, big evil fish inside! Unless your name is Kirby!"

The three pearls gather around Kirby and give him a new ability. Kirby turns invisible in front of everyone, and then turns visible again.

Kine: Whoa, that's so cool!

Porposeidon: Indeed, it's going to come in handy for where you're heading off to next. We've just received word that the pirates, or as we like to call them Nauticrooks have discovered the location of another Power Pearl. It's up to you to get it first before they do.

ChuChu: Wait, before we go, we really like to know more about you.

Shira: I guess we do have some time.

Porposeidon: It was long ago when the world was nothing but an endless ocean. The only life that existed is what lived under the sea. Our ancestors were the most intelligent among them, so they started building cities for our kind to live in all over the planet. It was the perfect world. But then one day, everything changed.

ChuChu: What changed?

Porposeidon: If you want to hear the rest of it, you must earn it first. Bring us another Power Pearl.

Kirby nods his head and the trio leave the palace once again. The three arrive at what appears to be an excavation site run by the Nauticrooks.

Kine: Well that didn't take long for them to set up shop. These guys act like they're well-oiled machines.

ChuChu: How are we going to find the pearl without them noticing?

Kine: I bet they have one of those maps that could lead us to the pearl. C'mon Kirby, time to put that new special talent of yours to good use!

Kirby and his friends began to infiltrate the site. The three were able to sneak into one of the outposts where they come across a large map of catacombs in one of the rooms.

ChuChu: Hey look, we found one!

The three take a good look at the map.

Kine: It seems they already had scoped out every inch of the place. Too bad they can't get into the secret areas. Which is not a problem for you Kirby, let's get to it!

The three leave the outpost. After sneaking past the pirates, the three enter the catacombs that are directly below them. Eventually, they get into a secret area where they see the pearl sitting on an altar.

Kine: Check it out, another pearl that nobody has found but us! Score!

ChuChu: Hold on a minute, this could be a trap.

Kine: You're probably right. Kirby, would you kindly grab it for us?

Kirby swims to the pearl. As he takes it, the three start looking around the room as if they're waiting for something to happen.

Kine: Huh, nothing happened. Good.

The trio leave the catacombs. As soon as they get out, they see everything has gone dark.

ChuChu: Uhm, how long were we down there?

Kine: Well if something strange like this happens, there's always an explanation for it.

Suddenly, a large mechanical claw appears from above and grabs the pearl from Kirby. The three look up and see a big robotic manta ray above them, piloted by some Nauticrooks. They raise the claw holding the pearl into the robot.

Kine: They're going to wish they hadn't done that! Let them have it, Kirby!

Kirby starts fighting the robot. After that, the robot explodes with the pilots in them. Among the falling debris, the pearl gently floats down. Kirby grabs it before it can hit the floor. Afterwards, the three begin to swim out of the area.
