Chapter 6: The Codfather:
The Codfather's POV:
They call me da codfatha n' i'm gonna be takin' ova dis dump they call lemurizzle...I just need ta figure out how.
"Hey Boss," says my right fin fish, Gill, "what's your plan?"
"Somehow, I gotta take mackdaddy pacificz trident," I said.
"What if you took it while he wasn't looking," asks Gill.
"Clever, N' therez Ain't nuthin' but would dat work," I asked, sarcastically.
What i need be someone I can manipulate ta do my biddin'. I need ta think... N' therez Ain't nuthin' but i can't think on an empty stomach. "Letz git somethang ta eat."
. . .
We found a cave we can steal some food from.
"Who's there?"
"We don't want any trouble, I'm just a fish crime boss n'... hey, yo''re a teenaged octoman!"
"Yeah, but Bai Tza banished me from Atlantis," he said, "she felt I was a disappointment."
"Well, I have news fo' yo', I'm a much betta boss then Bai Tza.
Codfather: It's as if a dream
You'd be part of a team
That would make you somebody
So full of esteem
To get all tanked up
Big plans and big schemes
To make you a big fish
Gill: The creme de la creams
Codfather/Gill: In the Codfather's Gang
Codfather: You'll have dough
Gill: By the gob
Codfather: You can steal, you can rob
So yous don't need no job
Codfather/Gill: In the Codfather's Gang
Codfather: So, what if you ends up inside of the slammer
Yous don't have to listen to nobody yammer
You'd wear dirty socks and week-old pajamas
Gill: And the best part of all is you's uses bad grammars
Codfather: Uses bad grammars
Codfather/Gill: In the Codfather's Gang
The Codfather: Caviar?
Gill: We'll go out with a bang
Codfather: You get to say dang
And you can always hang
Codfather/Gill: With the Codfather's Gang
In the Codfather's Gang!
"Cool, my name's Squid, by the way."
"An octothug named squid, I love it. Naw, we just need yo' ta git me..." I then whispered in his ear.
"What," asks Squid, "what? Speak English. Oh, King Pacific's trident! Yeah, I can do that."
"Datz a good boy, naw git n' make me proud." Da kid then left n' wit' his help, lemurizzle gotta be mine.
Pearl's POV:
General Tarron was training the soldiers.
"Now, remember, our enemies could strike at any moment," says General Tarron, "we have to be prepared for everything."
"Sir, yes, Sir," they all said.
Slippery and I were mocking them, but then we realized the General saw us.
"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... Hi," I said.
"That was amusing, Princess," says the General, "just remember one important detail, always make sure no one can see you."
I then noticed one of Bai Tza's octomen... but he looked young. Anyway, he was sneaking into my Father's vault where the trident currently is. "UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... General..."
. . .
We showed up just in time.
"Hey, yo' git out o' my way," he said.
"No one from Atlantis would talk like that," says the General, "who do you work for?"
"None o' yo' businizz!"
He then swam off, but we chased after him.
. . .
We found him and he was talking with someone.
"Who is that," I asked.
"The Codfather, he used to be the biggest crime boss in the Seven Seas," says the General, "but then almost his entire gang abandoned him and now it's just him and a little fish named Gill. I think he's taking advantage of that octoboy."
"Naw tha mackdaddydom o' lemurizzle gotta be mine," says the Codfather.
"You're under arrest," says the General.
"General Tarron, itz been a while," says the Codfather.
"I knew you've gone low, but using a kid," asks the General.
"Yo' can't git any lowa then me!"
The Codfather fired the trident and the General tried to fight him.
"Why are you doing this," I asked.
"I was kicked out of Atlantis," says the octoboy, "so the Codfather's giving me a place in his gang."
"But he's taking advantage of you," I said.
"Yo' don't know nothang, naw Squidz wit' tha gang!"
"You're just a coward," says the General.
"I know yo' r', but what am I?"
"Not that mature," says the General.
"We can be your friends," I said.
"I got all the friends I need," says Squid.
"Soon, I gotta be da mackdaddy o' lemurizzle," says the Codfather.
"And what about your friend," asks the General.
"Gill? Oh, dude'll be a jesta."
"I meant Squid," says the General.
"Who? Oh, right, who cares?"
"What," asks Squid.
"Was dat out loud?"
The General then grabs the trident and traps Squid in a bubble.
. . .
Squid apologizes to my Father and the Codfather and Gill are locked up.
"How do you know him," I asked.
"Ancient history," says the General, "also you could learn from Gill, he's better at mockery."
Gill was mocking the General behind his back. We all laughed.
In the next chapter, Pearl releases an ancient evil.
