AN: I don't own DC, Ben 10, or anything else

Chapter 3: "Lake Monster"

It was night at a lake within the US where Jason and the Tennysons were currently camping.

"CANNONBALL!", Jason cheers as he jumps into the lake while curled into a ball. he soon resurfaces, "Ah, a perfect 10 performance", he comments to himself as he begins to chill in the water.

"A perfect loser performance is more like it", Gwen comments from the docks to the lake while flashing her light onto him.

"Come on and dive in, Kitkat", Jason tells her, "Have some fun", he lays on his back in the water showing her his muscular physique and his Wonder Woman swimming trunks.

"Please", Gwen dismisses with a blush, "Who knows what nasty, slimy things are slithering around in there", she moves her flashlight around to look at the surrounding water before aiming it back at Jason, who had an unimpressed if not annoyed look on his face, "I rest my case".

Jason then smiled as he got an idea, "What's the point of camping by a lake if you're to afraid to get wet?", before using his right arm to splash water at her, covering her in water and soaking her clothes.

"Ah! Knock it off, Jerk", she complains before leaving back for the Rustbucket for the night.

Jason then started to sink as if something got his leg, "Hey, what's happenin--", before he is seemingly pulled underwater.

"Very funny, Jason", Gwen sarcastically says, "I'm not falling for it", she approached the lake anyway. All she could see was the bubbles from where Jason was, "Jason?"

Suddenly, a behemoth covered in seaweed and vines with four eyes came from the water.

"*SCREAM*", Gwen shrieks as the creature approaches her, she fell onto her but and her light fell but went into the creature's face revealing it to be Fourarms.

"Jason?!", Gwen asks as she got angry at being scared.

"You should have seen your face", Fourarms smiles, "Kinda cute actually".

Gwen blushes in anger and embarrassment, "You're such an ass",

"You love me", Fourarms says, "By the way, you might want to hurry back to the Rustbucket, wet white clothes can be very revealing".

Gwen looked down to her pants to see that her blue panties were starting to show, "EEP!", and she ran back to the RV while covering herself.

"Hahaha", Fourarms laughed as he took off all of the lake plants, "It's always so fun to tease her."

Then, from behind him, a large creature rises from the lake with two unique tentacles from its mouth.

"Oh, shit", Fourarms says before the creature uses its left tentacle to pick him up and throw him away, further into the lake.

He resurfaces and looks for the creature before another tentacle grabs him from below and pulls him under. The tentacle brought Fourarms to the big blue left eye of the creature before he is able to break free of its grasp and swims back to the surface.

Fourarms gasps for air and rushed back to the Rustbucket. He loudly enters, still gasping for air, while Gwen and Max wake up from beds.

"I was just attacked by a giant lake monster", he says, before Gwen throw her pillow at him.

"Hello. You already got me with that one", Gwen denies him before laying back down.

"But I'm serious this time", he tells her.

"Come on, Champ", Max says while yawning, "Enough messing around tonight. Remember, we have an early day tomorrow for our fishing trip".

The transformation times out and Jason returns to his human form, sighing before changing and getting to bed. Hopefully, nobody gets hurt before he can deal with it tomorrow.

Next Day

"No really, it was humongous with these glowing eyes", Jason tells them as they walk to the shipyard along the lakefront.

Gwen wore a white shirt under a light blue t-shirt that had a cartoonish black cat head on her chest, along with light brown short-shorts, white socks with a blue stripe and some blue converse shoes. (Reboot Gwen clothes. Clothes and such is the closest I'll get to the reboot in this fic.)

Max had his same outfit on, just with a brown fishing vest over top his hawaiian shirt. (Reboot)

Jason was wearing a black and green t-shirt with the number 10 in white on the top left corner, dark green cargo trousers, blue boxer shorts, white socks, and black low profile sneakers. (Also reboot)

"Are you sure it wasn't some kind of big fish?", Gwen flippantly asked, "give it a rest, Captain Dweeb".

Jason approaches the boat they'll being using while Gwen looked at the bucket of slimy worms.

"Ew. I think I'm going to pass on the fishing and stay here to catch some sun instead.", she tells her Grandpa.

"Okay", Max accepts, "But you don;t know what you're missing".

"I'm pretty sure I do", Gwen grumbles as she waves goodbye.

"Pretty sure you don't", Jason mutters before turning to the boat with Max.

"Captain Shaw?", Max asks the man preparing on board.

"Who wants to know?", The man who is obviously Shaw demands with an ever present scowl.

"My name is Max Tennyson and this is my ward, Jason. We chartered your boat today for a fishing trip", Max cheerfully responds.

"Well, what are you waiting for? An engraved invitation? Get aboard", Shaw orders, "I ain't got all day".

Max was a little put off by Shaw's rude behaviour but Jason was used to it, most Gothamites were dicks.

Not long after, the boat was sailing along the lake's surface.

"So, anything interesting to catch out there today?", Max asks Captain Shaw as he checked his fishing kit.

"More than you can imagine", Shaw cryptically replies, "looks like you boy might be using his breakfast as shum", he remarks at Jason's head hanging over the edge of the boat.

Max looked to the teenager and pats his back, "Jason, are you okay".

"Hmm?", Jason sounds as he raises his head to look at Max, "Oh, I'm just keeping an eye out for the lake monster", Jason tells him, "Thing's not taking my by surprise again."

Max raised an eyebrow, while Jason surveyed the surface of the lake, only to see floating log with a tote container.

"Now, Jason, this is a fishing trip, not a monster hunt", Max say to him.

"It's called The Krakken, two Ks in the middle for copy right purposes", Shaw interjects

"You know about it?", Jason asks the cynical captain.

"It's my business to know about it", Shaw answers him before handing Jason a shadowy photo, "I've been on its tail for years. Folks say my rudders not right."

"Why doesn't that surprise me?", Max quietly retorts.

Jason was reviewing the photo, "Hmm, the shape is right, but its missing the two tentacles from the mouth area."

"Sightings go back hundreds of years on this very lake.", Shaw informs, "Some say it's myth. Not me. I could take you to the spot where I personally laid eyes upon the beast -- That is, if you got the stomach for some real adventure."

Jason and Max to look to each other, but Max had some doubts. The look in Jason's eye caused him to cave.

"Alright, lets go", Max tells them while Jason does a fist pump and Shaw drives the boat to the location.

"Sonar. Hi-Def video setup. Ultrasound", Shaw lists his equipment around his steering cabin, "I got it all, and I will find it. Mark my words. It can't hide forever".

"Should be carefull, Shaw. In movies, guys like you die horribly. Just look at Jaws", Jason comments before Max pulls him off to the side

"Jason, I don't want you to put too much stock into what Mr. Shaw says.", Max tells him, "I don't think he has both oars in the water, if you know what I mean"

"Max, we live in a world where we have superheroes and villains running around like kids on a playground. Aquaman has rode beasts from the sea that no one has even heard of before into battles. There is literally a plant monster, similar to how I looked to when I scared Gwen last night, from a swamp. If Shaw's got a screw loose, it's from everyone doubting him about the Krakken", Jason replies.

Soon the boat came across a cordon off area of the water, with bouis tied together by yellow 'Do Not Enter' tape

"Do not enter?", Shaw reads asking, "What's going on?"

"Looks official", Max notes, "Maybe we should turn back", he tells Shaw.

"Nonsense", Shaw dismisses like the crotchety fisherman he was, "This is my lake, and I'll go wherever I--"

"Fishing boat, stop where you are", a voice calls out, even though their boat was alright stopped in the water.

The trio looked out over the port side to see another boat approach them. It was a white and blue one with F.O.F. printed on the side with three men on it.

"I am Jonah Melville, the founder of Friends of Fish", he introduces himself has his boat pulls up to Jason, Max, and Shaw. Jonah and his men wore aqua blue jumpsuits with black collars, FOF printed on their right chest and their names on the left of their chest. "We've close this section of the lake for an environmental study. You'll have to turn your boat around", he informs the exploring trio.

"Suppose you make me, fish hugger", Shaw irritably retorts.

"Well", Max cuts in, "Since I chartered the boat for the day, I believe I'm in charge", this caused Shaw to sigh, "Isn't that right, Captain?"

"Aw, I suppose", Shaw reluctantly agrees before heading back to steering.

Jason was looking at the supposed Friends of Fish with a look of scepticism. Call it the Gotham City in him, but he didn't trust them one bit.

Soon after, the F.O.F. ship was driving ahead of them back to shore with Shaw following before a beeping sounded from his console.

"The Sonar", Shaw notices a blip moving on the screen, "We found something", A dark cyan fin appears out of the water behind them, to which Jason notices.

"Or something found us", he says to the two old men before pointing at the fin, "Look!"

"The Krakken!", Shaw calls out before the fin went under the surface as it approached.

A dark shadow passes under them, rocking the boat something fierce.

"It's heading for the docks", Shaw notes the direction.

"Gwen!", Jason and Max say together.

The fin reamerges while Gwen laid back on her hands at the end of the dock with her legs off the edge at her knees.

"Ah, finally, a little sun", Gwen moans in satisfaction. She as still in her casuals, Gwen wasn't trying to get a tan but was just enjoying the heat it provided, like a cat. "And without that muscle head, I can just lay back and relax", she comments. Too bad she doesn't know what's heading straight for her.

Shaw was blowing his boat horn to try an warn them, drawing everyone, including Gwen's, attention.

"How many times does that doofus think i'll fall for his pranks?", Gwen asks herself right before the Krakken bursts from the water in front of her with a roar.

In the daylight, one could see the Krakken has four webbed legs and a tail with a fin, and two tentacles coming out of their mouths which act like two extra arms. They have blue eyes, golden teeth, six gills on their necks, and the upper part of their body is dark cyan, while the lower part is olive.

It launches forward, with it's mouth hitting the dock, sending people flying, especially Gwen. They all land in the water, easily resurfacing to see the creature.

"That's not Jason", Gwen gasps to herself.

Shaw is looking at the creature through his binoculars, "I told you. It's real. The Krakken Lives!", the final sentence sounded like a movie title.

"Sail now. Gloat later", Max orders him and Shaw gets to work. Max then turns to Jason as quietly tells him, "Someone's got to rescue those people"

Jason hops into the water, close to the boat to avoid being seen by others, and scrolls through the selection and stops on a certain silhouette.

"Oh, yeah. Ripjaws to the rescue", Jason comments. The form was one he experimented with and knew it was perfect for water work like this.

He dives down into the water and slaps onto the device. However he transforms into XLR8 and resurfaces.

"Hey, I said Ripjaws, not XLR8", XLR8 complains. He sees that the Krakken was diving after the people in the water, who were trying to swim away from it, with Gwen in the lead.

"Here goes nothing", XLR8 hopes that he's fast enough. He's seen the Flash Family do it a few times.

He then super speeds forward to the civilians. Swimming at first before rising up from the speed till he was running on water. He snatches up Gwen first and races her to shore.

"You okay?", he asks her.

"I think so", she coughs, "Thanks for the save", he then runs away to save everyone else, wet sand flying onto here as a result, "Hey, you did that on purpose, didn't you?!"

XLR8 then saves everyone else from the Krakken, setting them down near Gwen.

"Get us out of here!", Jonah yells to his men. Thye powerup the boat and begin to sail away.

This draws the beast's attention, however, and it began to chase them. XLR* raced to them as the beast swam under the F.O.F. ship and rose in front of them with a roar. They go to turn but are slapped away by it's tail.

"AAGH!", they scream from the rough movements, but the boat stays upright.

XLR8 zooms in as the Krakken approaches the crew again. he gets in front of the beast and runs in a circle forming a water vortex, distressing the beast and causing it to turn tail.

XLR8 stops and gets on the boat to survey the area before the Krakken once again appears in front of the boat. The Krakken tore off a tarp over some crates marked as Cannery and grabbed a hold of them.

"No, you don't!", Jonah yells out and rushes and holds on to them to stop the Krakken from taking it, but it was hopeless for him.

XLR8 rushes forward to grab one of the tentacles and uses his super speed to run backwards and pull on it, causing it to let go of the crate.

Jonah and the crate were sent back from the beast, with Jonah protectively hovering over it.

The Krakken lunges forward for the crate again, so XLR8 rushes forward and slides under it's jaw. Laying on his back, XLR8 used his legs to rapid fire kick it's jaw, causing it to scream in pain on run away.

"Thanks for the hand", Jonah says in gratitude, "and the feet".

"What's so important in that crate that you'd risk your life for it?", XLR8 asks, raising his visor.

"Um, our lunch", jonah replies after looking to one of the others.

"You almost got munched for a few sandwiches?", he asked him. He severally doubts that.

Suddenly, one of the tentacles of the Krakken pops out of the water, grabs the crate and drag it under the waves.

XLR8 goes to follow, but the time out begins to countdown, "Uh-oh. Sorry. Gotta run". He then jumps back into the water and super speeds away, heading back to Shaw's ship.

"Almost there", XLR8 groans as he strains himself to make it only to transform back to Jason. Without the super speed, he began to skip like a rock back to the ship from the momentum, landing just before it.

"Man overboard", Max calls out as he was on the lookout for Jason and noticed his return, while Shaw was none the wiser, "Shaw, Jason is overboard. Bring the boat around.".

Shaw was on another part of the boat with a high-powered harpoon launcher with its sights in the Krakken. "Next time you're in my sights, you wont be so lucky", Shaw says to the beast before going to do his job.

Later in the day, most of the campers and such had left, or were leaving, the lake.

"See? I told you so", Jason gloats to Gwen, "That was the same thing from last night. Shaw and i were right"

"Just because he was right about the Krakken doesn't mean I was wrong about him", Max tells him, "I want you to stay away from that guy. He's trouble."

"Oh, yeah. He's a fruit loop, but aren't you being to stubborn about this?", Jason asks.

"Don't you just hate people like that?", Gwen asks in a sarcastic tone.

"We'll leaves this to the experts, Jason. Like those Friends of Fish guys", Max states.

"Yeah, I don't trust those guys as far as a newborn can throw them. The Krakken seemed to target them specifically before taking their crate and leaving. Besides, who better to catch a lake monster than the guy with a monster buster on his wrist", Jason remarks.

"I'm afraid this is just gonna have to be the one that got away, son", Max tells him.Which Jason found to be bullshit.

"Lowdown, no-good fish kissers", Shaw was muttering to himself not faraway from them.

"Captain sahw? What is it?", Jason asks the old man.

"the nerve of those enviro-punks. They shut down the entire lake. Nobody tells me where to sail. And Nobody's gonna keep me away from reeling in the catch of the century nobody", Shaw says in full blown crazy old fisherman as he then left the trio alone.

Later that night, Shaw was quietly sailing his boat back into the lake.

The Rustbucket was the only camper/RV left in the area as everyone else has left. Max thought it was to late in the night to leave and they could do it in the morning.

"Come one, Jason", Gwen knocks on the bathroom door in her PJs, "What did you do? Fall in?".

Max approaches her and the door. He tries the knob for it to turn, showing it to be unlocked, opening it, he sees the bathroom to be empty, no sight of Jason.

Shaw hears a sound on his ship. He stops the boat and goes to check on the noise.

"Hey, no stowaways on my boat, even if you are only a filthy rat.", he lifts a tarp with his emergency paddle to see Jason just chilling, eating some chips.

"First Mate Todd reporting for duty, Captain", Jason tells him. Jason was great at stealth, but this boat was small, so he waited till they were a good distance out before revealing himself. Shaw would be to obsessed to turn back, allowing Jason to further investigate the lake.

"She's probably been chased into the deep by our fishy friends", Shaw shares his thoughts about Krakken and Friends of Fish, "Only one way to flush her out -- with a little live bait", he says as he puts on a tank of oxygen.

"Maybe I should go with you, Shaw. You know, just in case", Jason says to him, knowing this is absolutely dangerous for the old man.

"No need", Shaw responds, "I've got my dive buddy right here", holding a harpoon gun, "Wish me luck", he then puts on his mask and falls back first into the water.

Jason looks off to the side to see a green diving suit another set of flippers and oxygen.

Shaw is swiftly swimming through the lake's waters. Random fishes passing by as he surveyed the area around him, it was light enough in the waters that he didn't need a flashlight. he was startled by a seaweed but kept his cool. he made his way to a shipwreck in the lake bed, where he saw this yellowish sphere with some fleshy bits, like an egg.

He then notices something behind him and shoots, the thing dodges and closes in revealing himself to Shaw as Jason. Shaw sighs in his mask and gestures Jason to the egg, since the masks didn't have comms. Jason stays behind while Shaw swims back up to the boat to reload his harpoon. Once he resurfaced though, he saw a weaponized speedboat parked next to his.

He goes to his ladder before being pulled onboard by another.

"Don't you know night diving is dangerous, Old timer?", the middleman of three, in silver suits with black gar and visors, tells Shaw. "Unless, of course, you went with a friend."

"I work alone", Shaw states with certainty, "I ain't got no friends".

"And with a sparkling personality like yours?", the middleman says as his two boys grab Shaw. Jason surfaces to see this part.

"I haven't anything worth stealing either", Shaw tells him

"Ah, but you have us all wrong", the leader states, "all we want is some information. Like, what did you see down there?"

"Nothing", Shaw lies with a scowl, "Same as always.", the leader than punched him in the face, knocking Shaw unconscious.

"Well", the leader unmasks to reveal Jonah, "I have to be sure."

'Knew it', Jason thought before checking his wrist, 'seriously? it's still red?'

"Take Ahab here with us", Jonah orders the others, "Find out if her knows anything back at the cannery.", he then pulls out a device, "We'll be back later with a mini-sub to snag the rest of the eggs.", he drops the device into the water, "In the meantime, I think his boat jus got lost at sea.", before tossing in a special bomb onto Shaw's ship before their boat sped away.

Jason swims away as Shaw's boat explodes and it sinks into the lake. he checks his wrist again to see it green. He activates the watch, "It's hero time."

With the FoF, one of the henchman notices something in the sky, "Is that a bird?", he asks Jonah.

"Nah, looks like a plane", the other goon says.

It closes in to reveal Stinkfly.

"It's a bug!", Jonah exclaims, "Man the harpoons."

"Give it up,", Stinkfly tells them, "You're busted, douchebag".

one of the henchman got to his position and opened fire on Stinkfly, revealing it wasn't a harpoon gun like Jonah said, but a machine gun. he slimed one of the goons with his AR before sliming the guy at the machine gun.

Jonah had ran into the boats steering and flipped some switches. This caused the barrels that he had hanging from the speed boat to fall in the water, which would then explode around Stinkfly. This knocked down a nearby tree and splashed him, and he fell into the water.

"Aw, man. My wings are too wet for takeoff", he comments at the situation.

The speed boat turns around, heading for Stinkfly at full speed.

"Let's squish that bug once and for all", Jonah says aloud, mostly to himself.

Stinkfly used his other limbs to swim onto the log and began flopping his wings to dry them off. he uses his eyes to look behind him as the Speed Boat shined a spotlight onto him with a henchman getting up to the gun again.

"Come on! Dry off!", Stinkfly prays.

The machine gun fired at him. Stinkfly spotted a nearby tree with some strong branches and launched a slime line from his mouth and sticked to the branch before sucking it in to tighten the line. He then zips away like its a grapple gun, just before they reached the log, destroying it.

They lose sight of him high up in the trees and begin searching for him while Stinkfly continues to dry his wings, while hiding from the light. They soon notice the fin of the Krakken.

"It's getting to crowded around here", Jonah states before gesturing to Shaw, "Dump the trash overboard."

Stinkfly is rapidly drying his wings while the henchmen threw the unconscious Shaw, who is bound by his hands and feet, overboard into the water with the Krakken. They sped away as Shaw began to sink but Stinkfly had flown in and got him with only his legs and hands having to get wet. He pulls him out and notices the FoF are gone before flying Shaw back to the docks.

Stinkfly soon spots the Rustbucket in the distance, "Almost there", he comments when the time out begins, "Oh, Come On!", he yells.

Gwen is looking through her binoculars for Jason, once again dressed out of her PJs.

"Any sightng of Jason and Shaw?", Max asked her as he exits the Rustbucket in his usual clothes.

"Not yet", she replies, only for the duo to hear the beats of Stinkfly's wings and the time out reaching its end as they looked to the sky.

The timeout ends before Jason can land and the duo fall from the sky.

"Shit!", Jason exclaims in distress. Luckily for him and Shaw, the Rustbucket's retractable canopy was open and they landed on it safely.

Jason rolls off it and states, "I hate it when I time out in the middle of emergencies".

Later

Ben was telling them everything he learned, with Gwen sitting at the table on her laptop, Max was sitting in shotgun while the now awake Shaw sat in the driver seat

"And the Krakken' nest was full of eggs.", Jason explains , "It's no wonder she's been attacking everything recently. Jonah's been stealing them."

"And I think I know who Jonah is", Gwen announces from her research, "I did a little checking on Friends of Fish and found out it's not listed on any environmental web site. But I did find this", she turns her laptop to show the others some pictures, "Jonah Melville isn't a friend to any kind of wildlife. He travels around the world poaching rare animal, then crates them up and sells them to private collectors".

"Crates? Like the crates that the Krakken took off his boat earlier today. I bet it had her egg in it", Jason shares.

Max adopts a serious look in his eyes, "Looks like we were both a little to hardheaded"

"We've got to stop them", Jason commits, "They said something about going back to a cannery when they grabbed Shaw".

"All this talk doesn't change a thing", Shaw cuts in, "Mommy or not, that beast is mine.", he then goes to leave, "Let's go, I've a spare boat down at the docks", the three travelers share a look and follow.

The three were sitting in a small motorboat that had some paddles while Shaw worked to unmoor it from the dock.

"It'll take a while for the police to get here", Gwen informs as she had just ended the call to them.

Max had cut the rope from his side and started the engine on the boat, leaving Shaw behind on the dock.

"What are you doing? Get back here.", Shaw calls out.

"Sorry Captain!", Jason calls out as they increased their distance.

"You don't know what you're doing", Shaw exclaims, "A monster's a monster, and I know a monster when I see one." His fist shakes as they got further away. Looking around he spots another boat but this one had no motor.

At the cannery, the poachers were just coming from grabbing another egg. Jonah was the one in the advance mech diving suit that got the egg. The others were approaching him with a big canister housing one of the other eggs on a dolly. jonah hands the egg to one of the goons to put into the canister with the other one. Though the guy nearly dropped it from how heavy it is.

"Careful, or you'll be cleaning up the world's most expensive omelet", Jonah reprimands as he gets out of the mech. The henchman has put the egg into the water tight container. "After we sell these babies to the highest bidder, we'll be kicking back on a beach in the Bahamas", Jonah practically groans in satisfaction.

Unknown to the poacher trio, the hero trio had quietly arrived to a ladder from the water into the cannery. Max then Gwen climbed up the ladder.

"See if you can find the eggs", Jason tells them as he held the ladder to keep the boat in place.

"What about you?", Gwen asks him

"I'll be kicking some friends with a fish tail", Jason replies before activating the watch and selecting a certain someone and transforming.

He was mostly grey in color with four webbed fingered hands and two webbed toes, both with black claws. He had green fins on his elbows and from his head onto his back. On what could be considered his forehead sat an antenna with a phosphorescent light. He had massive sharptooth jaws that could unhinge like a snake or something. He had an organic loincloth that was black with green lines that could morph into a fish tail with a green tail fin. He also wore black arm braces, that the fins pierced through, along with black shoulder braces. The symbol sat as a belt at his waist. (Omniverse) This is Ripjaws. He's like a combination alligator, eel, leech, anglerfish, and shark, that can decide whether or not he wanted legs.

Also, he was one of Jason's more uglier forms.

Anyway, once he transformed he was knocked off the boat as Krakken burst up and through the dcks to see the three poachers with her eggs. She roars at them as the henchmen cower a little.

"The bigger the Krakken, the bigger the payday", Jonah snarks as he taps the lid of the canister holding the two eggs with his hand before he then ran and entered the dicing mech again, which was hanging from a crane that he could remote operate.

The henchmen were firing on the Krakken but it was ineffective. One ran inside before the bast knocked the other one away into the water and she went for her eggs. Jonah had swung in within his mech from the crane and grabbed the eggs before doing a quick retreat as the Krakken snapped a bite at him.

Jonah moves with a smile as the crane retracts him and turns away while the Krakken launched her two tentacles after him. he used his mech's blaster to shoot at her, pushing her back a little.

Ripjaws had taken the time to swim and launch himself high into the air, with his tail changing back to legs, and onto the mech, putting his face in Jonah's face.

"You want to mess with a monster? Try me on for size", Ripjaws tells the poacher before going to grab the eggs. Jonah goes to shoot but Ripjaws literally ripped it off with his powerful jaws.

He then used his jaws on the mech hand holding the eggs, causing them to fall and he dived after them, with his legs changing into his tail again. Ripjaws grabs the canister but recieves a left hook from Jonah mech and the canister broke when it hit the dock. The eggs roll to the edge of the broken dock, hanging over the water.

Max and Gwen were stealthy moving through the cannery before looking into a room to see the other henchmen, the one that ran, grabbing a massive launcher from the wall. Max uses hand signals for Gwen to follow.

Around this time, the other henchman had resurfaced and swam for the under-dock ladder right next to the Tennysons, pointing a gun at them.

"All right, buddy", Max says to the goon, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

The goon goes to shoot when the Krakken's tail breaches through the wall.

"Go high", Max tells Gwen and they grab some moving hooks on the ceiling.

The tail soon destroyed the floor beneath them and the henchman fell into the water again. The hooks flew down the hall as the other henchman entered, only for Max to kick the weapon away and for Gwen to drop kick his face.

"Is this the easy way or the hard way?', she asked her grandpa, who shrugs.

Outside, Ripjaws, Jonah, and the Krakken race for the two eggs. The Krakken swipes her tail up, carefully bringing her eggs n close to inspect them for damage.

"My eggs!", Jonah yells before technically charging the beast. Ripjaws jumped onto the trubine the mech used to travel underwater.

Jonah knocks the eggs from the Krakken's tentacles while Ripjaws dives after them.

"They're not your eggs", Ripjaws states before grabbing hold of the eggs as he continued his dive to the water. Jonah releases the mech from the crane to follow.

Ripjaws ends up resurfacing before jonah crashes on him, causing him to let go of the eggs.

"Rescuing babies-- Very heroic but not very smart", Jonah taunts while mech punching the water hero. He then drives the mech and takes back the eggs.

Ripjaws right himself and swims after him. he soon surprises Jonah with a clawed hand to the face glass. They grapple for a bit before Jonah loses his grip on the eggs for Ripjaws to use his mouth to catch them while holding back the mech arms and used his tail to hit him away.

This is when the Krakken appears, not to pleased about seeing her future babies in another creatures mouth and attacked with her tentacles, hitting Ripjaws to the lake floor while she caught her eggs. She soon swims away, with Jonah following her, and Ripjaws following him.

Jonah releases a sonic blast that disorients the Krakken and allowing him to steal them once more. Ripjaws swims in and pushes him to the bottom. Jonah got a hold of him by his neck, but Ripjaws grabbed a nearby anchor and chain and used it to swat Jonah. he then goes to the left mech arm, that wasn't holding the eggs, but is soon electrocuted.

Jonah tries to get away again, but Ripjaws takes the chain and anchor, twirls it around and launches it at Jonah, taking out the left mech arm. The Krakken comes in and bites at the chain, worried for her eggs safety. Jonah and Ripjaws swim around her with her swiping at them with her tail and claws.

Ripjaws gets the eggs in his mouth again and swims away as fast as possible, with the Krakken giving chase.

He soon arrives at the shipwreck with the Krakken right there as Ripjaws then takes the eggs from his mouth and sets them in the crevice he saw earlier. Showing her that he was a friendly as he backed away. She grabs her eggs and curls up around them.

Jonah does a mad dash for the eggs with a crazy look in his eyes but the Krakken was having none of it and grabbed him with her tentacles before biting down on the mech.

Water began to rush in as the mech was crushing around Jonah's body before the Krakken tears her mouth away, leaving him exposed with no oxygen underwater. The psycho he is, Jonah takes out his boot knife and goes to stab the Krakken only for it to easily break against her teeth.

Realizing he fucked up, fear entered his eyes as the Krakken roared out him. Ripjaws comes up in her face and signals to her that he's got it from here. Accepting this, she went back to her eggs. Ripjaws then looks to Jonah and punches him in the face, knocking him out.

He swims up to the surface with the poacher. Ripjaws hangs him from a piece of wood.

"Just hang out here for a while till the police find a nice dry cell for ya", Ripjaws taunts before diving underwater as a police boat comes in for Jonah.

Max and Gwen were standing on a nearby dock overlooking Jonah's capture.

"Good riddance to bad rubbish", Max says with his arms crossed.

"I got one! I finally got me a Krakken", Shaw calls out, drawing the Tennysons' attention, "One of the eggs must have hatched.", he rowed in with something in his net, "Imagine this trophy on my wall", it was Ripjaws in his net. What can he say, he was in a hurry.

While Shaw was looking at the two on the docks, Ripjaws timed out and transformed back into Jason.

"I think your catch of the day isn't exactly as advertised", Max says to Shaw, causing the other old man to look back at his net with his lamp held up to sea a seaweed covered Jason, who waved.

Shaw looks surprised, "But I could have sworn..."

"Hey, man. It happens", Jason comforts as he gets out of the net. The underwater howls from the Krakken reaching them as this adventure comes to a close

Chapter End

AN: I plan to do one or two chapters a week this year to finish out OS before the year ends.

Also, the closest I'll get to the reboot is appearances like clothes. Speaking of the reboot clothes this chapter will only appear during water based chapters.

PS: If you don't know why Jason was wearing Wonder Woman trunks, your not a Jason fan.
