Out near the Cayman Islands lay a Naval ship, one that was quite large and looked intimidating to the average sailor or tourist. A sailor onboard said ship rushed from the sonar room of the vessel all the way down the metallic hall to the captain's deck.
(*bo'sun whistle*)
"CAPTAIN!" A sailor exclaimed, rushing into the captain's room, saluting before a grizzled man in a navy-blue jacket and pants.
"What is it, private?!" The captain exclaimed, pausing and turning to face the sailor, taking a swig from a beer bottle.
"A large object has been spotted off the port bow and is rapidly approaching, sir!" The sailor exclaimed. "You'd better take a look."
"Alright, I will." The captain spoke, leaving his post and walking out on deck, before stopping dead in his tracks. "GOOD LORD!!"
(*tropical ska rock instrumental plays*)
The captain and sailor were both in shock as Moby Dick dove directly over the boat, with Tom, Tubb, and Scooby atop his massive head. The captain gazed at his beer bottle and tossed it aside.
"YEEEHAWWWW!!" Tom and Tubb joyously shouted.
"GEEERRROOOONI-MOBEEEYYYYYYYY!!" The massive whale bellowed.
The impact of Moby hitting the water caused a massive tidal wave to hit the deck, soaking the captain, sailor and other available crewmen completely.
"Did that WHALE just talk?!" The captain exclaimed while wringing out his hat.
"I believe it said, "Geroni-Moby", sir." The sailor replied.
"We tell no one about this, AGREED?!" The captain spoke to the sailor, who immediately saluted.
Moby Dick dashed past the ship until eventually he was stopped by the boys.
"Woah, Moby!" Tom spoke as the whale slowed his pace. "Hey Tubb, there's something down there! We should check it out!"
"Totally!" Tubb replied.
And so, Moby let the boys dive into the ocean where they found something truly fascinating--a sunken ship!
(A steel drum version of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" plays)
Once the boys feet landed on the deck, they proceeded to look around the sunken ship, possibly in the hopes of finding any treasure.
"Dang, check it out!" Tubb smiled, swinging off the mast. "How old is this ship, anyway?" He asked Tom.
"It appears to date back to 1681..." Tom spoke, feeling the wood with his hands. "This wood is surprisingly strong for its age..."
Suddenly, the light from the moon began to glow blood-red, and the sand and rock underneath the ship began to rumble.
"ORT-ORT-ORT!!" Scooby shouted.
"What's going on?!" Tubb exclaimed. "Is this an earthquake?!"
"Probably!!" Tom replied. "HOLD ONTO SOMETHING!!"
Suddenly the ground beneath the ocean ceased rumbling, and from below the ship came a most unusual sight. It was multiple humans that appeared to be dead--but were surprisingly walking, or rather, staggering underwater. They could breathe underwater, perhaps due to the fact they had no lungs, and were all dressed in raggedy pirate clothing.
Tom and Tubb moved away slowly from these pirates before discovering they were right behind their captain! The captain had a long, gray beard, and wore brown, torn-up pants, and a faded red cloak with a black tricorn hat. Around his neck was a strange, ruby-encrusted amulet that glowed red along with the blood moon.
"AHOY ME YOUNG SEA SQUAAABS!!" The pirate captain bellowed, placing his sword close to Tom's neck. Tom could see right where the man's skin peeled away and where his bone was now visible. "THE NAME BE CAP'N TENNILE AN' YE BE TRESPASSIN' ON TH' BLOATED MANATEE!"
"The bloated what--" Tom spoke.
"AYE! TIS' A GREAT, PIRATE HAITIAN VESSEL SENSATION THAT BE SWEEPIN' THE NATION!" Cap'n Tennile replied, Tom winced as he got some zombie spit on his helmet.
"Uh, do you really need to say all that?" Tubb asked.
"AYE!" Tennile faced Tubb. "An just who might YE be, me plump little sausage?"
"I be Tubb," the chubby boy spoke, imitating the accent of the zombie pirate. "And I'm not a sausage!" He exclaimed, then cleared his throat. "—also this is Tom."
"Hi." Tom replied, awkwardly waving hello.
Suddenly, hundreds of other zombie pirates emerged from the ship, clad in raggedy 17th-century clothing, their skin peeling off like old paint.
"Woah! It's a full house!" Tom exclaimed in shock, gulping.
"Okay you undead freaks—" Tubb grabbed a sword hanging on the side of the ship's walls. "LET'S DANCE!!!" He raised the sword high above his head and bellowed; "AAAAAAAAAGH!!"
The chubby boy leapt at the captain and was doing surprisingly well at sword-fighting, taking out a good number of pirates. Tom found another sword and quickly joined him alongside Scooby.
"COME ON SCOOBY!!" Tom yelled, jumping on the seal's back, holding his collar as though it were a horse's reins. "TO BATTLE!"
"OOOOORT-ORT-ORT!!" Scooby bellowed.
Tom slashed through a number of zombie pirates' waists, blood staining the water. Scooby was able to break one of the masts, a number of zombie pirates becoming crushed to pieces when it fell.
"Tom, look!" Tubb pointed at Cap'n Tennille's neck, mid-sword fight with the first mate. "I think if you get that glowing thing around his neck, it'll stop all this!"
"You got it!" Tom gave a thumbs-up as Tubb sliced another pirate with his sword. Tom swam directly at Tennille with the force of a torpedo.
"NOOOO!" Cap'n Tennille hollered, trying to move away from the boys. "ONLY I MAY HAVE THE AMULET OF THE BLOOD MOON!!"
Thankfully, he didn't even notice Scooby taking apart a piece of his leg with his seal teeth.
"AGH!" Tennille exclaimed, staring down as Scooby swam away, his left leg in his mouth, swimming away and then spitting out said leg piece in disgust. "WRETCHED SEAL!" This made Tennille a bit of a weaker swimmer.
"HAH!" Tom exclaimed, slicing Tennille's neck clean off and grabbing the mysterious, red amulet. "TUBB! CATCH!!" He tossed it to the chubby boy, who immediately caught it.
"HERE, MOBY!" Tubb whistled, tossing the blood moon amulet directly at the whale.
Moby Dick noticed this and immediately lifted up his massive, white tail before smacking said amulet mid-toss, directly to the ground. The amulet broke apart in a matter of seconds, the jewel turned from red to white as the moon did as well.
"NOOOOOOOO!!" Tennille exclaimed, as he was reduced to dust along with every last one of his crew members.
"Great job, Moby!" Tom smiled.
"Could ya get rid of that ship, please?" Tubb asked. "It gave me the willies!"
Moby did exactly that--he swam back a little, then RAMMED his entire body at the side of the ship, pushing it into a massive trench. Then, using his tail as a shovel, he picked up thousands of massive rocks, covering up said trench until it couldn't be seen any more.
"Let's get outta here, boy." Tom spoke to Moby as he and Tubb climbed into the whale's mouth along with Scooby. "Cause I'm dead tired." He and Tubb laughed.
