Chapter 10: level 5: 20,000 creatures under the sea
Upon entering the door, Cindy and Libby decide to get a good nights' sleep- a first in many days. They, almost instantly after making camp, fall into a deep, REM-type sleep. They sleep solidly for 24-hours straight. They slowly wake up from their slumber.
"That rest was necessary." said a sleepy Cindy.
"I agree. Now that we've rested, I should give this back to you." said Libby, as she hands the bazooka she'd been using back to Cindy.
"Thanks. Now we should look around for a pas…"
"Look" said Libby, pointing to what looks like a small pond.
Cindy examines the water. It's a pond all right, but it wasn't small. It was huge! The head of the pond was small, but the depth was immeasurable. Cindy calls Libby over and they both look at the water, trying to come up with a plan. They were completely stumped as of what to do.
"That pond goes on forever. There is no way we could get to the bottom without drowning." said Libby.
"Or maybe there is a way." said Cindy, pointing to some scuba gear she just found.
"That's perfect. We can swim down to the bottom. Look, it even comes with lights so we can see." said an overexcited Libby.
"That's a good thing. Lets just hope that there are no enemies down there." said Cindy.
With that said, Cindy and Libby put on the scuba gear and hop into the pond. Once they are 15 feet down, the entrance that lead them into the water begins to close up. Cindy and Libby notice and race to try to get out. When they are 1-foot away from the exit/entrance, it completely closes up. Cindy and Libby look at each other, with eyes that say, "We're in deep trouble". That was the least of there worries, as a great white shark was looking at them with murderous eyes. Cindy tries to use her bazooka, and luckily it works, as it acts as a torpedo gun underwater. The shark is easily defeated. Cindy and Libby start to swim faster, but to no avail. Since they were so deep underwater, the pressure of the water was preventing them from going any faster than they already were. Another problem was that their oxygen tanks were slowly running out.
"Oh, no. Please tell me that those arent electric eels." said Cindy, in a muffled voice.
Unfortunately, Cindy was right. In front of them were many electric eels, about 15 to be exact. Cindy and Libby try to swim away, but to no avail. They are trapped in a ring of electric eels. Cindy tries to use her bazooka on the swarm of eels, but is shocked by the eels instead. Deciding her weapon is useless, Cindy and Libby swim as fast as they can, away from the eels. It is no use, though, because the eels follow them and zap them every few moments. Luckily, every few moments Cindy or Libby heals themselves.
"That's it, we have to fight. We can't outrun him." said Cindy.
Cindy pulls out her bazooka and starts fireing away at the eels. She is constantly getting zaped, but she doesn't care. Libby, not being able to fight, does the healing. Soon all the electric eels are destroyed. Cindy would have lost at least five lives if not for Libby's healing. After the enemies are defeated, the girls continue downwards into the pond. The enviorment begins to go dark, so the girls put on the light on their helmets. The light is dim, so they could not see much, including the four sharks near them. Cindy and Libby continue to swim down until Libby feels something on her leg. She turns around, only to see a shark biting her leg. She cries out for help, but it is muffled. Luckily, Cindy noticed that Libby was not following her, and came back to help. Cindy easily defeats the four sharks. Cindy and Libby continue their intense journey to find an exit. They continue until something grabbs them. That something is a giant squid. The giant squid grabs them and put them into a tight squeeze. Cindy and Libby try to fight out, but fail to do so. Then something big happens. Cindy and Libby, with a burst of adreaniline, manage to fight out of the squid's hold. Cindy quickly fires her bazooka twice, and the bullets hit the squid's eyes, blinding it. Cindy and Libby quickly use the opportunity to swim away from the giant squid. A few moments after their escape, Libby starts to feel faint. Her oxygen tank is about to run out. 2 minutes later, she dies of suffication. Cindy slowly starts to faint as well. She was about to die until she lands on a crystel that transports her out of the level and on to an oxygen filled environment. She remains passed out for a long time. On the horizon, was a huge boss battle, one that she would never forget.
