Nessie the Krakken

Setting out on the beach beside his tent, Ken let out a relaxed sigh while bringing up a can to his lips, Gwen sitting on her own chair with a light between them on a small table, Max was in the Rust Bucket while Ben was sitting on the sandy shore of the lake, Ken inhaled at the serene area… before he sighed while getting up from his chair, making Gwen blink as he approached the water, he shed his shirt and pants to swim in his swim shorts, Gwen and a few of the nearby girls on the beach were given a show.

Stepping towards the water with Ben looking up from his sand mound, Ken turned and winked at Ben.

"Gonna see if there's any treasure below" seeing Ben grin, Ken made it to his waist in the water, dialing the watch for Riptide, he looked at his surroundings before diving forward, a low flash of green rising from beneath, a small wave in the water signifying his departure.

All the while Gwen approached Ben with a frown.

"What's Ken doing?" turning to her, Ben spoke with a smile.

"Looking for treasure" raising an eyebrow, Gwen spoke.

"Wouldn't that count as a misuse of the watch?" turning to Ben, he gave a shrug before trying to make a sand castle.

"Don't really care, I just wanna see what he brings in" smiling while looking over the lake, the two cousins sat in wait, until Max called to them.

"Ben, Gwen, Ken, we're gonna be late for our fishing trip!" turning to Max, the two shared an alarmed look before standing up.

"Thanks grandpa, but I'll pass on this one, I'll just enjoy the quiet and Ken went for a swim" nodding in understanding, Ben and Max moved to a docked ship.

"Captain Shaw?"

Looking over the lake, Ben began to wonder what Ken would find.

He… had found a jackpot.

Looking into a chest within an old broken ship, Ken in the form of Riptide had struck gold in his luck, raising a hand, he held a lot of gold coins, giving a laugh of excitement, Riptide was about to close the chest and return to shore if not for a shadow to loom overhead, freezing in place Ken would had paled at forgetting about the Krakken.

Looking around for the Krakken, he caught sight of it as it swam towards the Beach.

Looking at the mother moving to find her eggs, Riptide reached for a passing fish while watching calmly, taking a bite he gave a purr at the taste before following, chest in hand he watched it swim towards the beach, rushing after it he began to make a plan as his eyes snapped to the various boats above.

Swimming to the Krakken's head, it stopped completely while turning to him with a territorial roar echoing from it, dropping the chest at his mistake/plan working to well, he spun around and swam away, leading the Krakken away form the Beach, it's tail sending a wave towards shore.

Poking his head above water to find the Boat with her eggs, Ken's eyes narrowed at finally finding the Poachers ship approaching a… familiar one.

Looking back beneath the water, Ken snapped into action, the mother roaring at him in the meantime.

Diving down at arriving at the boat, he leaped out to land on the boat, face planting on the deck, the poachers gave startled yells while he made an effort of panic, moving around he "accidently" Shoved the crates into the water, getting a yell of anger from the crew, he gave them a blank look before the Krakken broke the surface to loom over the ship, and seeing Ken beside the Crate with her egg in it, the two stared at one another before Ken absentmindedly shoved it in, making both him and the Krakken dive after them.

Ken moving to the crates with the mother following him in anger, it stopped however at seeing him pry the crates open to hold one egg out to her.

Getting a calm echo from the mother, it's left "Mandible" took the egg gently, cradling it with a gentle grace, the kraken turned to Riptide as he opened the next crate, he swam up to her calmly while holding the egg.

Raising it to her the mother took the remaining egg back to her nest.

Watching the sight with a sense of accomplishment, Ken turned and glared at the poachers ship, swimming up to the engine, he gave it a hard punch with the ship gaining a hole, allowing water to get in.

"Suck it, Poachers" seeing a job done, he swam down to look for that chest he found.

With his good deed being rewarded at finding ANOTHER chest beside his first one.

Swimming back with glee, Ken held the chest in both hands, finding himself back at shore, he pressed a dial on the watch to return back to human, the chest in his arms, he broke the surface with a yell of triumph while hefting the crates onto his shoulders.

"GWEN!" seeing his cousin on a pier, his yell had gained the attention of a few people who blinked as he moved to dry land, Gwen running after him in confusion.

He gave her a grin while dropping the Chests on the ground.

"I struck GOLD!" kicking one of the Chests open, Gold coins spilled onto the ground.

"Ken did you not notice the big Monster before!?" giving her a look, he hid a wink from the gathering crowd.

"I was right beneath it when it went after that Poachers Ship, he had crates full of two eggs" seeing the people look amongst each other, Ken along with Gwen, brought the chests of gold to the camp where Max and Ben arrived with a hurry, and seeing the two chests, Max stared at Ken who gave a happy shrug.

"Ken, why?" seeing the playful look in his eyes, Ken spoke while sitting down.

"I noticed something shiny on my way back to shore, so I decided, why not" patting the chests with a smile, Ken sat back.

"And I reunited a mother with her stolen kids, so I'll take that as a win" smiling at his family, Max shook his head with a smile, looking into one chest, he spoke with a knowing smile.

"You do realize you have to count all of it… right?" seeing Ken perk up, he sagged with a moan while Ben and Gwen laughed.

Later that night

Sitting up late with the others going to bed, Ken sat alone in wait, a stack of counted coins to his left, he smiled to himself before looking over the lake, frowning at hearing a distant ship, Ken stood up while dialing the omnitrix for Riptide, looking back to the camper, Ken inhaled slowly before steeling himself, rushing into the water, he transformed mid dive into Riptide, rushing forward with a deadly look on his terrifying visage, Ken… was hunting for blood.

Finding the nest of Nessie was easy, finding the asshole Poacher was easier, just look for the small Sub-mech.

Watching it glide down to the nest, Riptide struck with the proficiency of a deadly predator.

Striking with a clawed hand, a tube was punctured to show wiring, seeing the sub spin around in alarm at the attack, the face of Jonah Melville looked out over the water ground with a scowl.

"What do the sonars tell us, I don't think I'm alone down here" moving to quickly get to the nest, a voice spoke.

"The sonars not showing anything, what happened?"

"Something just attacked me, Jack, Duane, keep an eye on the sonar and I mean it!" diving deeper with the eggs in sight, Jonah was about to harvest them for profit…

Until his main window looking outside was damaged with a crack spreading dangerously wide, looking through the glass, the sight of Riptide maw approaching fast made him back away in panic.

"JACK, DUANE. HOIST THE SUB UP!" feeling the sub moving away, relief washed over Jonah who relaxed in place, looking over the systems, his eyes widened suddenly as the hatch to his sub shook, followed by the lights inside the sub shutting off, moving the controls with a panic, his eyes widened as the Sub was knocked down to the ground, leaving him helpless at the bottom, Jonah stared outside for any movement… before Riptides clawed hand pierced the glass and Jonah's head.
