Here is another story idea that combines aspects of Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal/ Gorgo/ Godzilla/ Pokemon/ DC Comics/ Marvel/ Vampirates and especially Donkey Kong

Life was simple for 18-year-old Jamal Quinny. After graduating high school with a biology major, he searched for a college degree that would suit his interest. Particularly courses that have something to do with zoology, so Jamal could expand on his love for learning about animals. Especially Marine Animals and Reptiles, some of his favorite types of creatures. On the plus side, he had the whole summer to think it over.

However, he had to make it through the annual two-week extended family reunion/ Summer vacation first. They weren't that bad, but the weeks of preparation for the reunions felt like busy work. The good news was that the reunion was hosted on a giant yacht this year. Not only was that beyond excellent, but it also meant that he could do all sorts of cool stuff with his siblings and cousins. At first, it was awesome. He went to the arcade, the dance club, the deck, and all kinds of fun things, and he had to admit it was fun to see his extended family again.

However, on Day 4, everything went wrong. The cruise ship was sailing through the open ocean when suddenly the ship was attacked by giant tentacles exploding from the sea. While the foundation and ship itself would be crippled and falling apart at the seams, not one passenger is killed. Instead, more tentacles appear, and suddenly, other monsters start gushing out of the suckers in pools of boiling mucus. Each of these creatures are large fish-like humanoids that look like fusions of the Sirens from Sea Of Thieves, Sheelane's Species from Ben10, Thresha from Invincible, The Trench fromDC Comics, and the Zora from The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The passengers could watch in horror as they were surrounded by 13 monsters, who then started laughing their heads and mocking their victims for being their "catch of the day."

Before one of them smashes a hole in the center of the ship. This reveals the cavernous maw of the creature that attacked the ship, and the begging and screaming passengers are tossed in one by one. Jamal could only look on in complete and utter horror as his family was thrown to their deaths one at a time, and he couldn't even process it. The monsters doing all of this even had the gall to mock him and decide to save him for last.

After tossing away the last of Jamal's family into the Jaws of the against, the sea creatures toss Jamal into the cavernous maw himself. While he is scalded upon impact, he is not immediately killed but kept in a bizarre bubble-type construct inside the monster's digestive tract. He is placed in a separate cluster from the rest of the victims and forced to watch his family be digested alive. The smaller sea creatures, now revealed to be mermaids, mock the burning, screaming victims.

Not knowing what to do, Jamal tries anything to blot it out but stops when he sees the occupant of the bubble next to him. It was honest to god, Dinosaur. It looked like a hybrid of a tyrannosaurus/ an allosaurus, and oddly enough, it had the coloration of a sea krait. In addition, it had several spiky fins running around its body. Jamal could feel the sadness and despair coming from the reptile as it floated in its bubble. Jamal then noticed something else in the bubble next to it. It looked like a trident of some sort, but looking at it gave him a headache that oddly enough made him what to move towards it.

The sea monsters seeing this, try to stop him, but Jamal manages to merge his bubble with the swords in addition to combining with the sea dino's bubble. Seconds after touching it, a massive amount of energy bursts through the area, causing the boy, the dino, and the sword to all be regurgitated from the sea monster. Seconds after being expelled from the ocean, they must avoid the snapping maws of several monstrous Liopleurodon surrounding the ship and a giant lizard monster that also happens to be the more diminutive Sea Dino's father.

After landfall, Jamal soon discovers they are in a completely different world. The weirdest thing is that the world around them looks like a fusion of a coral reef and a tropical jungle. They don't know what to do now but seeing that all they have left is each other, they decide to travel to this new world to find a way back to earth.

However, not only will Jamal discover more things than he ever thought possible with this trident he will also find that the creatures that destroyed his life will stop at nothing to obtain it.
