...“That's the problem,” said 4l3x04. “We do not know. But we do know a way to find a scroll with a riddle that can help us find it. Although, unfortunately the riddle is at the bottom of the sea.”
"It's at the bottom of the sea? We can't find it at the bottom of the sea! How can that help?!” I was so confused.
4l3x04 replied, “It can help because we have…”
...“It can help because we have a submarine with very good radar!”
“Wow, how long have you had this submarine?” I asked.
“I’ve had it for a few days- when I figured out about this whole problem,” he replied.
“Awesome. So when are we going to take the sub out to look for this hidden scroll you talked about?” I asked.
“In about a week,” he said. “I’ve got a bunch of stuff to do before then.”
“A week- that's too long! I need them in a day!” I demanded.
“Why so soon?” 4l3x04 said, confused.
“Um, I guess I don't need them in a day. I’m just impatient. Take as long as you want.” I decided to just wait. I went on a boating trip and did all sorts of fun stuff that week while I waited.
Then on the fifth day, he said he was ready with the sub. We went onto Captain Zach’s ship and there was 4l3x04, Steve and Zach and standing next to one state of the art submarine! It was amazing.
“One gigantic sub, ready to submerge!” they said proudly. “We will go tomorrow at 7am.”
“Sounds great!” I said. “7:00am on the dot tomorrow - no dilly dallying!”
I set a timer for 6:30am, and then went to bed.
The next thing I knew I was awakened by a beep beep beep beep! I smacked my alarm, clumsily got up, quickly got dressed and went to the ship. They were getting ready to launch the sub. It really was impressive.
“Jump right in!” Zach said, so I did.
I noticed some missiles and was surprised. “Hey- what are those missiles on the sub for?” I asked curiously.
“Oh, they will protect us from the guardians,” he replied.
“What guardians?” I asked, bewildered.
“The ones that are guarding the ocean monument,” he replied.
“You did not tell me about an ocean monument!” I said, confused. It seemed like I was always the last to know anything!
“I didn’t? I was sure that I had,” he said. “Well, anyway, the scroll is in an ocean monument guarded by a few elder guardians,” he said.
“A few!?! Elder guardians!?!” I exclaimed, still very confused.
“Yes, you heard me right. A few elder guardians,” he said. “I get why you are so confused- we accidentally didn’t tell you the plan. We are going to shoot a ton of missiles at the ocean monument and suck it all up with a item vacuum.”
“Well, that is a bit more serious than I thought, but I am definitely going!” I exclaimed. “So let's go!”
Steve jumped in, then Zach then 4l3x04; the doors shut, and we submerged. Down, down we went. The sea life was beautiful- tons of coral reef and fish. So many colors.
“Hold on- we are going to go to speed mode!” Zach said. I wondered what that meant. I soon found out!
It was speed mode alright! We must have accelerated from 10 to 100 miles an hour- and so quickly. My stomach felt like it was in my throat. Everything around us was blurred for a while. Until suddenly, we stopped.
“I see something on the radar- very big and made out of prismarine. That's definitely an ocean monument,” he said. “We have to back off a little bit! That elder guardian can take us out in one hit! Our missiles can take them all out in two hits, but only if we are lucky and hit the center.”
I saw a cave in the distance. I had an idea! “Let’s hide in that cave over there. Then we’ll shoot the missiles through the cave towards them, and they will not see us.”
We went into the cave down into the darkness. It was super dark. Then we shot a missile right at them. It shot through the dark water, and then...BOOM! Two elder guardians died, and the monument started to collapse. BOOM! More parts of it started blowing up. We exited the cave, sped by the crumbling monument super fast, and collected some icons. The scroll flew right at us! Once the scroll got sucked up by the item vacuum, I rushed over to the chest connected to the item vacuum. I snatched the scroll out of the chest. Then we started to quickly move away. BOOM! An elder guardian shot us with a death beam! Water started to rush in the sub!
“NOOO! We’re sinking! Open the escape hatch!” someone screamed.
I had another idea. “WAIT!” I said. “Send a distress call first!”
Steve pushed the button. The hatch flew open and we swam out as fast as we could- thankfully the elder guardians did not get us as we swam at the top of the ocean. My heart was beating loudly in my chest. A few minutes later, helicopters came in, swooped down, and rescued us.
We got home safely, and cleaned up. We had a meeting about the next step. I still had the scroll in my inventory. I got it out and showed the rest of us in a item frame. It said...
