Meanwhile back in the ocean...

Everyone caught up on some sleep as it was a bit of a big journey away from the sharks. Marlin talked in his sleep about Nemo while Dory was rambling on about nonsense such as about a sea monkey having her money, and where the ship was now on an edge.

Drell yawned and stretched as soon as he woke up and looked over as Atticus and Mo were snuggling each other in their sleep while Patch was curled up in a ball and Penny appeared to be sucking her thumb. He soon looked over the edge. "Wake up..." he whispered loudly. "Wake up! Wake up!"

Everyone soon woke up with a yawn.

"Drell, what's up?" Patch asked.

"We're gonna go down, that's what!" Drell panicked as he pulled onto his ebony locks.

Atticus soon looked over the edge of the boat. Drell looked with him. Both looked to each other and bit their lips fearfully.

"I think we better go." Atticus said.

Dory snored as she was still asleep and Marlin was just slowly waking up, and what he saw startled him. Dory kept mumbling in her sleep. Marlin soon started to push the mask.

"SHARKS EAT FISH!" Dory suddenly woke up in alarm, and where she had the mask on her, moving it from place.

The ship was soon looking like it was ready to go down with them on it. Penny woke up and soon screamed into a panic.

"Move!" Drell told them.

"Huh?" The others asked curiously.

"Move, move, MOVE!" Drell told them so they wouldn't have a nasty fall.

They all soon moved. The boat soon went crashing down below them and they all got out safely.

"Wow," Dory coughed. "Dusty."

"The mask!" Marlin panicked. "Where's the mask?!"

"I think she dropped it." Drell said.

Atticus swam down to get the mask only soon to be in a pit of darkness and couldn't see anything and he came back up. "I can't see it anymore... Sorry, Marlin."

Dory soon sang as she was in her own little world. "Just keeps going on, doesn't it? Echo! Echo!" she then swam up to Marlin. "Hey, what are you doing?"

"It's gone," Marlin sulked. "I lost the mask."

"Aw, did you drop it?" Dory cooed.

"No, you did." Drell said.

"That was my only chance of finding my son, now it's gone." Marlin looked like it was the end of the world for him.

"We have to swim deeper." Drell said.

"Oh, do we have to?" Penny whimpered as the dark pit gave her memories of being forced to get the Devil's Eye Diamond for Madame Medusa.

"We'll go down there together." Mo said.

Penny frowned as she was still too scared.

"Penny, it'll be okay," Atticus soothed. "It won't be like with Madame Medusa, we're all in this together."

They all soon held hands.

"You know what cheers me up, sweetie?" Dory soothed Penny. "I sing a song!"

"That does sound nice." Penny smiled.

Dory began to sing a 'Just Keep Swimming' song in order to comfort Penny on the way down. Marlin seemed to be dragged along. The song soothed Penny, but annoyed Marlin gratefully.

"See, I'm going to get stuck now with that song… Now it's in my head!"

"Sorry." Dory replied as they were in total darkness.

"Now everyone stick together." Drell said.

Dory suddenly yelled out. "Something's got me!"

"That was me," Marlin told her. "I'm sorry."

"Drell, Cherry should've stayed with us, she can see in the dark." Atticus scolded.

"She didn't want to stay around with the sharks." Drell told him.

"Moron..." Atticus mumbled.

"Excuse me?!" Drell scolded.

"Who is that?" Dory gasped at the other voices.

"Who could it be?" Marlin replied. "It's us!"

"Are you... Are you my conscience?" Dory asked.

"Oh, brother." Drell groaned.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm your conscience," Marlin replied to Dory. "We haven't spoken for a while. How are you?"

"Guys, I see a white light." Penny spoke up.

"I see it too." Patch said.

"Hey, conscience, am I dead?" Dory asked.

They all soon swam closer to the bright light while Atticus paused to think of what sea creature could possess a bright light as Dory and Marlin seemed entranced by it. He then suddenly remembered what fish could do this.

"Uh-oh..." he then muttered.

"Problem?" Mo asked.

"Mo, that's not a flashlight or whatever, it's an angler fish!" Atticus panicked.

"Don't those fish use their light to attract other fish so they can eat them?" Patch asked.

"Yep..." Atticus said before he saw Marlin and Dory going that way. "GUYS, WAIT, DON'T!" But he was too late as the Angler Fish soon showed itself. "Oh, man..." he moaned as he knew that this was bad.

The angler fish snarled as he looked quite hungry. Marlin and Dory soon screamed before swimming away. Atticus swam over the angler fish before tackling him down onto the sand. From the light, Marlin and Dory noticed the mask attached to a rock.

"The mask!" Marlin said.

"What mask?" Dory asked.

"Seriously?" Drell asked, unimpressed.

"Hey, it's not her fault." Penny reminded Drell about Dory's memory troubles.

The angler fish zipped from underneath Atticus as it opened its mouth big and wide to eat its prey.

"Watch out!" Atticus warned.

"Oh, gee!" Marlin yelped.

"Hey, look," Dory noticed. "A mask!"

"Read it!" Marlin told her.

"I'm sorry, but if you could just bring it a little closer, I kind of need the light." Dory replied as she came to the mask.

Atticus soon grabbed the angler fish by the light to shine it toward the mask.

"That's great, keep it right there." Dory then smiled.

"JUST READ IT!" Marlin told her.

"Okay, okay... Mr. Bossy..." Dory mumbled before looking at the first line.

'Here we go.' Drell thought to himself.

Dory narrowed her eyes before she looked over. "Uh, the first line's P. Sherman!"

"P. Sherman doesn't make any sense!" Marlin replied.

The angler fish snarled and tried to get free as Atticus held him down.

"No way, Angler Fish!" Atticus glared.

"Okay... Second line 42..." Dory took another look.

"Keep going." Drell said.

"'Walla-Walla'..." Dory struggled at first as the angler fish kept trying to eat her or Marlin, but it was still stuck where it was.

"Walla..." Penny tried to help Dory, but even she didn't know that word, she was six after all.

"Wallaby!" Dory then said. "The second line is 42 Wallaby Way!"

"Great!" Mo smiled.

"Anything else?" Atticus asked.

"Just one more line!" Dory replied as she struggled with the final word.

"Sydney?" Penny read.

"Sydney..." Dory repeated. "Sydney! IT'S SYDNEY!"

"Wahoo!" Penny cheered.

Atticus soon accidentally let go of the angler fish as Marlin grabbed the mask and the mask then hit the fish in the face and he was temporarily blinded by the mask. The angler fish was trapped however by the mask and was unable to go anywhere from then on and Marlin and Dory mocked him as he was trapped and couldn't eat them now.

"Dory, what did the mask say?" Drell asked.

"'P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney'," Dory said before gasping. "I remember what it said! I usually forget things, but I remembered it this time! 'P. Sherman'-"

"Wait, wait, wait, now, where is that?" Marlin asked.

"Hmm... I dunno, but I remembered it!" Dory cheered with a laugh.

"Come on then, we better go then," Drell replied. "We find out where that is, we find Nemo and Cherry."

"Yeah!" Mo smiled.

They then went along the way as Dory memorized what she learned much to her delight which soon annoyed Marlin.

Meanwhile in the dentist's office...

Nemo was trying to get some sleep as Cherry swam around dully as it was night time, but she saw that the others seemed to be up to something like a ceremony.

"What are they up to?" Cherry asked.

Jacques came over to Cherry as he was about to wake up Nemo.

"Jacques, what's going on?" Cherry asked.

"Suivez-moi." The French shrimp told her.

Cherry then followed him as he went to wake up Nemo, and where he had to use a few pebbles. Nemo was still asleep until the tossed pebbles woke him up and he looked over.

"Come on, Nemo, there's something for you." Cherry told the young clown fish.

"What's going on?" Nemo asked.

"I'm not sure myself." Cherry replied.

There appeared to be chanting heard as they came to the tiki figures. Bloat, Bubbles, and Gurgle were dressed with grass wrapped around them, as if dressed like Native Villagers off an Island. Nemo and Cherry were being led to the top of the volcano until Gil appeared and silenced the chanting from the others.

"State your names." Gil told Cherry and Nemo.

"Cherry." Cherry simply said.

"N-Nemo." Nemo replied nervously.

"Brother Bloat, proceed." Gil then said.

The blow fish came in front of the two. "Nemo and Cherry, Newcomers of orange and white with brownish gold, you have been called forth to the summit of Mount Wannahockaloogie to join with us in the fraternal bonds of tank-hood." he then told them as he acted like an island chief.

"In English that means...?" Cherry asked.

"We want you in our club, guys." Peach translated.

"Really?" Nemo asked in interest.

"If you are both able to swim through THE RING OF FIRE!" Bloat replied.

Nothing seemed to happen though.

"Turn on the Ring of Fire!" Bloat whispered to the French shrimp. "The Ring of Fire, you said you could do it-"

Jacques pedaled his tiny legs against a knob of sorts at the bottom of the volcano as he noticed he was late from his cue to shoot out a massive bunch of bubbles to make it look like the model volcano was erupting.

"THE RING OF FIRE!" Bloat then repeated.

"Yikes!" Cherry yelped.

The Tank fish then continued their chanting. Bubbles wanted to go to the bubbles, but the others restrained him.

"ISN'T THERE ANOTHER WAY?!" Peach cried out. "THEY'RE JUST CHILDREN!"

"I'm a teenager." Cherry said.

Deb covered her eyes from the scene and even covered 'her sister's' eyes. Soon enough, Cherry and Nemo zipped over the Ring of Fire and thumped into Gil.

"From this moment on, you will be known as Sharkbait and Chumlunch." Gil proclaimed.

'Chumlunch?' Cherry thought to herself.

The others chanted the new names that Gil gave Cherry and Nemo, but soon made them stop as it began to annoy him.

"Okay, Sharkbait and Chumlunch are one of us now, agreed?" Gil asked the others.

"Agreed." The others agreed.

"We can't send them off to their deaths," Gil then said. "Darla's coming in five days, so what are we gonna do?"

"We could get Cody and the girls to help us get into the ocean." Cherry said.

"Not just you guys, but us too, we're escaping." Gil replied.

"Escape? Really?" Nemo smiled.

"We're all gonna escape." Gil smirked in determination.

"Please, Gil, not another one of your plans." Gurgle begged.

"Sorry, but they, they just, they never work." Deb added.

"Yeah, why should this be any different?" Bloat asked.

"'Cuz we've got him." Gil said before looking to Nemo.

"Me?" Nemo asked.

"Him?" Cherry added.

"You see that filter?" Gil pointed out.

"Yeah?" Nemo replied.

"You're the only one who can get in and out of that thing," Gil began. "What we need you to do is take a pebble inside and jam the gears."

"That'll cause the filter to stop." Cherry said.

"That's right." Gil nodded to her.

"Ugh, then it'll get gross in here..." Cherry then said.

"Pretty soon, the dentist will have to clean the tank himself," Gil continued his plan. "And when he does, he'll take us out of the tank, put us in the individual baggies, then we roll ourselves down the counter, out of the window, off the awning, into the bushes, across the street and into the harbor! It's foolproof! Who's with me?"

"Aye!" Deb smiled.

"Aye!" Bloat added.

"Aye!" Jacques helped.

"Aye!" Bubbles even added.

"I think you're nuts." Gurgle deadpanned.

"Why's that?" Cherry asked.

"No offense, kid, but, um… Your little friend's not the best swimmer." Gurgle explained about Nemo's little problem.

Cherry had to agree with him on that.

"He's fine, he can do this," Gil reassured them. "So, Sharkbait, what do you think?"

Nemo looked up to the filter and looked back to the others as he looked determined. "Let's do it."

"I wonder if the others are having a better time than we are?" Cherry said.
