Twister had just managed to wake up from his short nap, that he had taken not long after failing to both catch and talk to Sammy Dullard on the third day prior to the storm, he slowly got up from his bed yawning, than proceeded to walk over to his bedroom window only too see the sky blackened with storm clouds that was mixed with dark grey, thunder boomed from the clouds, but what caught his interest was the sight of Sam running out of his house and towards the direction of the beach at fast speed.
"SAM NO!" Twister cried as he quickly ran out of his room, and passed his parents and older brother. Despite his parents attempting to try and stop him from exiting the house, Twister managed to gather the strength in order to shake himself loose and exist out the front door, with both Sandy and Raoul calling out after him.
"I'm sorry Mom, and I'm sorry Dad, you can ground me once I rescue someone!" Twister cried stating that he will take full responsibility for his punishment if they let him save one of his best friends.
Moving as fast as he could he reached the Rocket residents and sneaked into the back yard knocking on Otto's Window as hard as he could, trying to get him to wake up. After about 3-5 hard knocks on the window, Otto finally woke up and looked at Twister with an annoyed face, as if he was saying "Twists! It's 6 in the morning." His mood however changed to worry when he saw that Twister was panicked and trying to tell him to open his window.
Without hesitation or question, Otto leaped out of his bed and ran towards the window opening it in a split second. "Twist! It's 6 Am in the morning, what is it?!" Otto said both annoyed and concerned at the same time.
Twister was so out of breath that he could hardly talk right. "Sam is...Is...Is, Heading for the beach with a surf board!" Twister answered as clearly as he could master after gaining enough breath to finally finish off what he had to say that was so urgent.
"WHAT?!" Otto yelled as his voice echoed throughout the cul-da-Sac. Reggie awoke by the sudden outburst, and quickly ran to her younger brother's room only to see him quickly changed into his outside clothes, quickly grabbing his helmet, Knee and arm pads including his skate board, and was about to climb out the window.
"Otto what are you doing?! the weather is bad outside!" Otto had already exited the room, but turned to Reggie while placing on his Knee and arm pads. "Reg! Sam has completely gone nuts! He's heading for the beach to surf in the storm!"
Reggie looked horrified, and in a split second she raced back to her room quickly yanked off her Pajama's and put on her usual Magenta Tee Shirt and Green pants. She quickly placed on her shoes, Knee and arm pads, grabbed her helmet and skate board and raced back for Otto's room.
Raymundo had just woken up from Otto's outburst as well, but was amazed to see Reggie racing passed him in such a hurry.
"Reggie where are you going?! The weather outside is too dangerous to skate in?!" He said with a large hint of concern for his daughter's safety in his voice, only for her to completely ignore him and enter Otto's room jumping outside the window and following her younger brother and Twister down the hill as fast as their skateboards can roll.
"Reggie! Otto!" Raymundo cried out of terror, as he quickly raced for the keys to his car, and out the front door only to run into Sam's mother Paula Dullard and Twister's parents Raoul and Sandy Rodrigez.
"Please Mr Rocket, you've gotta help save my baby, he is going to surf out in the storm!" Paula cried with horror as she had a large horrified look in her eyes, as Twister's parents than added, "Our son raced out to stop him! We've gotta to get the kids before the storm gets out of control."
Raymundo looked panicked, as he quickly opened the garage, got the station wagon and parked it out infront of the other parents. Everyone get inside now! he commanded as both Sam's mother and Twister's parents entered the passenger seats of the car as Raymundo slammed down the gas pedal and hurried down the hill after the children.
The Beach...
On the beach Sam was standing calmly in the wet sam of the shoreline, as he constantly looked out to see the raging uncontrollable amout of heavy waves smashing against the Pier and beachside. With a look of confidence Sam grabbed his surfboard and said "Today is the day, that I show those jerks, that I am a worthy kid, and today I make history, no Storm is going to put an end to that." as quickly as he can go, he ventured into the water with his surf board, as Otto Reggie, and Twister had just entered the beach from the pier, and were now running after him.
"SAM NO!" Otto cried only to be knocked over along side Twister and Reggie by a huge wave, and washed up several yards on the beach. The three kids watch in horror as Sam paddled further away from the shore on his surfboard. From above the rains started to come down hard over Ocean Shores, while lightning flickered in the sky followed by a loud boom, which got Otto and the other kids to jump in terror.
"Dude! What do we do?!" Twister demanded in the most panicky voice that he had ever sounded since him and his friends were lost in the grand canyon, about a month ago. Otto didn't know what to do at first, until he looked up at the Pier and remembered it goes deeper out into the sea.
"I have an idea! Follow me!" Otto yelled as he quickly raced up the stairs back up towards the pier, followed closely by Twister and Reggie. While Otto and the others were rolling down their skate boards up the Pier. Meanwhile in the water, Sam was having trouble keeping his balance the further he got out in the ocean.
Waves began to hammer, and toss him around like as if he were nothing more then a discarded glove. All of a sudden he was soon swept further away from the Pier. Sam screamed in horror as a giant title wave smashed down ontop of him washing him off of his surf board, and under the water below.
He gathered as much strength as he can to try and swim back to the surface, despite the strong current under the sea that was pulling him down, and was being fueled by the storm's heavy winds above from above. After breaking the Surface, another massive wave sent Sam smashing right back onto his surf board.
"Oh man what am I doing?!" Sam finally realized as he saw how bad the water was, and attempted to turn back towards the shore, only to be smashed once again by a powerful wave, and knocked off his surf board a second time.
Otto, Reggie and Twister who were on the Pier watched as Sam got knocked off of his surfboard a second time, each time they saw Sam suffering those strong waves and heavy winds, the more Otto saw himself in that situation, he soon remembered the time when he wanted to be as good as the Rhino, and how he put himself in danger while a storm was occurring, the only difference between then and now, was that the storm that Otto was trapped in, was much weaker than this one, this storm appeared to have heavy winds, almost similar to that of a hurricane, or worst. Otto knew that he had to get Sam out of the water now before it was too late. His memories soon vanished as he received a look of confidence again.
Otto than spotted the end of the West Pier dead ahead, the exact spot where he wanted. "Alright everyone jump on 3." Otto yelled at both his older sister and friend behind as they neared the exit.
"Jump? Jump where?!" Reggie asked but Otto brushed off her question as he was too focused on the spot where they needed to jump. "One..." He begun, as they turned a corner towards the South Railing, with Twister and Reggie following closely from behind. "Two..." Otto counted down as he quickened his pace. "Three!" He cried out loudly as he leaped over the Rail while his Skate board crashed against the front guard of the railing, which acted as a barricade. Lightning lit the skies over head followed by a large boom of thunder, while Otto sailed through the air and Dove straight into the surging sea below, with his older sister calling his name out in terror.
"Otto?! OTTO!" Reggie cried, as she stopped near the end of the Railing and looked down for any signs of her younger brother, but sadly, she could find nothing at all, the only thing that she could see was Sam's surf board in the water swerving left and right from the heavy waves, but there was no sign of Sam anywhere in the surging ocean below. All of a sudden a voice erupted from behind her getting her attention, forcing her to turn around.
"Whoa! Look out, ROCKET GIRL!" Twister cried as he was rolling towards her at fast speed, forcing Reggie to gasp in horror and jump to her left out of the way, as Twister's skate board struck the lower part of the guard railing just as Twister jumped over the rail just before his skateboard hit the bottom barricade.
"Geronimo!" Twister cried while falling towards the raging seas in a cannon ball pose with both his eyes closed, and one of his hands covering his nose in order to prevent any salt water from entering his nostrils. SPLASH! He enters the sea too.
"TWISTER!" Reggie Screamed loudly, her voice echoing off the winds followed by a loud crash of thunder. Reggie could do nothing but watch Twister disappear into the raging sea below. Just than the sounds of Raymundo's station wagon was heard behind her, as its head lights were shinning towards Reggie almost blinding her.
Out of the wagon came running out Raymundo, Paula Dullard, and Sandy and Raoul Rodrigez, they quickly reached Reggie and said. "What is going on here?! Where is Otto, Twister and Sam?" Reggie could feel tears in her eyes as she answered that Otto and Twister had just jumped off the pier and into the water below in order to help Sam.
The Parents were horrified as Raymundo quickly ordered every one down to the beaches now, where they would try to find them from the shoreline. Everyone quickly made their way back to Raymundo's station wagon including Reggie when suddenly she stopped halfway, and turned around to look back at the railing where Otto and Twister had perviously jumped over. Thunder lit the area as she stared at it with several thoughts racing through her head. The rains above began to pound even harder on Ocean Shores, as their was even hail coming down, but Reggie seemed to ignore the poundings that was striking her head, but Raymundo didn't as he then noticed that Reggie was not in the station wagon with the others.
"Reggie! Lets go!" Raymundo called out from the drivers side of the station wagon, only for Reggie to run towards the opposite direction and towards the railing instead. "Reggie don't you think about it young Lady!" Raymundo cried as he got out and tried to run after her, but he was to late. "I'm sorry dad!" Reggie said as she climbed on the railing and leaped from it with her legs straight and her arms out.
"REGGIE!" Raymundo cried, as he could do nothing, but watch his daughter fall towards the raging seas below and disappear with a splash. Raymundo was frozen at first, but than remembered how he and Tito once saved Otto from a storm that was weaker than this and decided to try it again, this time he would be doing it with three other people. After accepting this new idea, Raymundo quickly turned and ran back towards his car and climbed back into the driver's side, and made haste for the shore as fast as the car could go.
In the water, Reggie was constantly looking around for Otto, Twister and Sam calling their names as loud as she could yell, while at the same time trying to stand clear of heavy waves.
"Otto! Twister! SAM!" her voice was easily drowned away by the storm's heavy winds and loud sounds of thunder overhead. Before Reggie knew it a heavy wave knocked her underneath the water. She quickly tried to make her way back to the surface, but she soon felt something touch her shoulders. Terrified, thinking it was an ocean predator she quickly turned, to see what it was, but only for her terrified look to turn automatically into smiled, it was Otto.
In one swift move, he helped Reggie back to the surface. After breaking the surface, Otto was about to ask if she had seen Sam anywhere as he was having no luck, but instead got a tight hug from her. "DON"T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" She screamed out of anger, only to hear screams coming from furhter out in the sea.
"HELP ME! PLEASE SOMEONE!" Reggie and Otto knew that voice, It was Sam, he was now drowning and was calling for help, he had no idea that his friends had just jumped into the raging waters looking for him, which was fortunate for him.
Twister who was also able to hear Sam's voice attempted to follow Sam's cries for help from the West, while Otto and Reggie were quickly following the sounds of his voice from the North.
Twister luckily was able to reach Sam first. "Twister! Help! My foot Stuck!" Sam' cried as his head got swamped by another wave. "HELP!" Sam screamed again, as Twister quickly submerged and swam down only to see that Sam's feet were caught between two tight close coral Reefs.
As best as he could Twister tried to release Sam's foot from in between the two reesf, but he was unable to do so, due to the strong current pressing him down. He than looked up at the surface and notice Otto and Reggie making their way towards Sam, despite the heavy waves.
"SAM!" Reggie called as Sam, turned to see Otto and Reggie fighting through the rough waves trying to get to him. "I'm So Sorry OTTO! You were Right! I am nothing compared to you guys! I'm going to die, just because I really am a Lame-o!" Sam called out with a hint of fear in his voice. "Sam!" Otto replied "I never meant those words! I was having a bad day and I was bummed out because I was grounded! I never really meant to hurt you!" Otto replied back as him and Reggie were whacked once again by a heavy wave, but this one managed to push the both of them closer to Sam.
Twister soon broke the surface and said "Otto! Sam's foot is stuck in a reef, I need help pulling him out!" Otto nodded in approval than both submerged trying to free Sam from the reef. Even with two kids they are unsuccessful.
"Reggie! I'm so sorry I dumped you in that Dumpster, I hope your still not-" Sam's head is soon covered by the water temporarily before the current lowers it where he can speak freely once again. "Please help!"
"Yo Otto man! I need help!" Twister called out before a massive wave shot him a mouthful of salt water, much to his disgust. he spits it out and yells "Hurry!" In a split second Otto took a deep breath, and followed Twister beneath the surface, where they had hoped to both pry out Sam's foot.
Reggie swam to comfort Sam only to be knocked away by another powerful wave. "Otto! Reggie! MAURICE! SAM!" The voices of the parents were soon heard not far out, Reggie than looked to see that Raymundo, Paula Dullard and Twisters parents were now in the water looking for them.
Otto and Twister broke the surface again. "We need help! we can't free Sam!" Otto cried with panic, only to see Reggie calling and waving to the adults.
"DAD! WE'RE OVER HERE! DAD!" She screamed with all her might only to get struck by a third wave.
"Over THERE!" Raoul cried as the adults fought their way through the strong current and reunited with their kids. "Dad!" Otto cried hugging Raymundo, as Twister hugged his parents, only to get crushed by another strong wave.
"Mom Help me I'm stuck!" Sam cried as Twister and Otto submerged again, this time with Raymundo and Paula Dullard. With the team work of both the children and adults Sam's foot finally broke free from the two reefs and he was now free.
"I'm free! I'm FREE!" Sam cried happily hugging every one including Reggie. "Everyone work together and make for the shore!" Raymundo called out as he covered Reggie and Otto's back from the strong bombardment of waves, as Twister's parents and Paula Dullard did the same for their kids.
The sea rocked the families back and fourth, up and down, and side to side, they could hardly keep their eyes on each other as the towering waves often hid the other kids and parents from sight.
The situation appeared to be hopeless for the families as the waves and winds were starting to get worst, and the current was pushing the kids and parents straight for the sea.
A voice soon called out from out of the blue, it was coming from the sea, which got everyone's attention. "ALOOOOOOOHHAAAAA!" Out from the waves a speed boat raced for the families and stopped right in front of them.
"TITIO!" Raymundo cried with happiness, as he gave Otto to him along side Reggie. "Everyone come aboard!" Tito called out, as he helped every one of the remaining kids including their parents aboard, on the boat stood a large stash of Lobster cages and buckets that were also used to fish for lobsters.
Tito than slammed down on the throttle and the Speed boat raced for the shore cutting through the waves. Plop! The boat grounds it self onto the sand of the shore. As every one got off and were now safe at last from the intense sea.
The rains soon stopped as the winds started to die down, the storm that almost cost the lives of four kids, and four adults had finally come to a glorious end.
