One day, Marcus was sitting by the beach. He looked down into the water and saw the ocean monument, remembering the time when the elder guardian gave him the special fish that gave him the ability to breathe underwater indefinitely. He got up and dived into the water and swam to the monument, wanting to pay the guardians a visit. As he was swimming, he noticed that he was swimming a lot faster than he was the first time. That means the special fish also gave him the ability to move swiftly in water. As he reached the monument, a guardian noticed him and quickly swam inside to tell the others that Marcus arrived. Marcus entered and he was ambushed and snuggled by a bunch of guardians. Marcus laughed as the guardians rubbed up against him. Then Marcus asked them where the elder guardian and one of the guardians lead him. As he was getting close, a hallucination of the elder guardian appeared suddenly and it made Marcus jump and scream in fear. As Marcus was cowering in fear, the elder guardian came to him, laughing. Marcus nervously giggled and got up. "Heh~ I'm such a scaredy cat~" The elder guardian nodded and rubbed up against him. "So cute~" Marcus said as he gave him a hug. The elder guardian fired a laser at Marcus' belly causing him to giggle and squirm. "Ah! NUU!" He said starting to swim away. The elder guardian chased him around and Marcus found himself leaving the monument through a hole in the ceiling. As Marcus giggled from the tickling, he noticed an ocean ruin in the far distance. "Woah, what is that?" He went to the elder guardian and pointed to the ruin. "I saw this ocean ruin thing over there, wanna check it out?" Marcus asked. The elder guardian nodded and let Marcus mount him. As the guardian began to swim from the monument, all the smaller guardians were happily watching Marcus leave, Marcus waved goodbye to them. As they approached the ruins, Marcus got the elder guardian. He looked inside one of the buildings. He saw a chest and he went to look inside it. "Oh boy~ Mysterious chests are always so exciting~" As he slowly opened it, he suddenly heard a loud gurgling sound behind him. He shut the chest and immediately shut the chest and looked behind him, only to find no one there. He looked at the guardian. "D-Did you hear that…?" He said, shaking a bit. The guardian shook his head. "H-Huh… P-Probably just my imagination…" He said, beginning to open the chest again. He saw the chest was filled with a bunch of junk, except for a map. He pulled it out and looked at it, he noticed it had his house drawn on it and there was a red X drawn on the beach area he lives here. "W-Wait… That's my house… Who could have drawn this…?" He said to himself. Suddenly he heard an even louder gurgle behind him. Marcus turned around and saw a drowned standing behind him, staring at him. "AHHH!" Marcus yelled as he backed into a wall in fear. He sat on the ground and cowered in fear. The drowned saw Marcus' fear and tried to calm him down by going up to him and giving him a hug. Marcus felt the soft hug and hugged the drowned back. "Hehe~ S-Sorry for freaking out~" Marcus said. Just then, another drowned showed up next to Marcus. "Oh! Another one of you guys?" Marcus said, surprised. One of them grabbed Marcus by his wrists while the other by his ankles, staring at his feet and licking his lips. "W-Wait! Please! Don't tickle!" Marcus begged, struggling around to no avail. The drowned ignored him and started to lick and nibble at Marcus' feet, causing Marcus to burst out laughing while the other drowned kept his arms up, making sure he can't protect himself. The drowned kept licking and sliding it's tongue between his toes, Marcus' weak spot. Marcus started laughing louder and started crying a bit. "AHHH! NOOO! NOT THERE!" Marcus cried. The elder guardian heard Marcus' laughter and came in to check on him. Seeing his vulnerable belly exposed, the elder guardian prepared it's weak laser. Marcus begged the elder guardian not to tickle, but it went and shot a weak laser at Marcus' belly, tickling him even more. "Nohohoho! Plehehehease! Stahahahahap!" Marcus laughed. Marcus was so glad he had the ability to breathe underwear indefinitely. Eventually Marcus was let go and he laid on the ocean floor, exhausted. As the drowneds and elder guardian giggled at Marcus, a third drowned came in where they were with a slightly panicked expression. They asked the other drowneds asked him what was wrong and he said that there was a human in the ruins. The elder guardian told him that it was Marcus, the nice human. The drowned shook his head, he said he saw another human. "W-Wait… There's another human here?" Marcus asked, a bit concerned. The drowned nodded and the three drowneds went to confront the human. Marcus went up to the elder guardian. "We should see what this is all about." He said. The elder guardian nodded and they followed the drowneds. They stood behind them as the three drew their tridents. Marcus looked out and saw a human figure in the distance. As the human figure became more clear, Marcus became filled with fear as he saw who it was: Tex. As Tex approached the drowneds, preparing for a fight, he saw Marcus and immediately stopped. "What the…! What are you doing here!?!" Tex yelled. "T-Tex… I… Uhhh…" Marcus said, panicking. Seeing the hostility towards Marcus, the drowneds made sure to protect Marcus and the elder guardian wrapped its tail around Marcus to keep him protected. Tex noticed. "I can't believe you… first those mobs in the nether, now you're playing around with mobs under the sea!?!" Tex yelled on. "I guess that arrow to the stomach wasn't enough for you…" He added. Marcus immediately covered his mouth and clenched at his stomach after hearing this. "Th-That was you…?" Marcus exclaimed. "Of course it was… who else would have done it?" Tex said, drawing his sword. The drowneds raised their tridents while the elder guardian charged up a harmful laser. Tex immediately backed away, knowing he wouldn't stand a chance. "Fine, you get away this time, but you better watch your back cause this isn't the last you see of me…" He said, beginning to swim away. The drowneds waited till Tex was gone and one of them went up to Marcus, asking if he was okay.
