[mysterious music]

What an amazing discovery.

Using Baby Bones' nightlight,

I've uncovered a phosphorescent trail

left by Ika Inkblot's Squidions.

Does Nautique always do the narrate-y thing?

Yep.

Especially when he's excited.

And what's more exciting than this?

If we follow this trail,

it'll lead us right to Ika's lair.

[Sawtooth]. We've drained another star of his power. Ha ha!

Well, that and the town it was near.

These orbs aren't super precise so, ahem!

[Ika]. Pardon the interruption, but

did anyone ask for your life story?

The Plinth. Now!

[blows raspberry]

[magical music]

[sinister laughing]

Soon, Dark Pearl,

the ocean will crumble,

the sea-tizens will see our power and all-

Ah!

Oh! Seriously!

I was building up to something.

Doesn't anyone knock anymore?

Ugh.

[indiscernible whispering]

[gasps] The Mermicornos are following a trail of your

[gags] disgusting ooze?

Ugh. I wish I could turn you Squidions

into something less sticky.

The Mermicornos can't disrupt my plans.

You three, find them!

Now!

Get off me. Get off.

Sawtooth!

[Sawtooth grunting]

Don't let me down again!

[upbeat rock music]

? Mermicornos! Let's unite!

? Creative forces will ignite!

? Magic is the key

? In the undersea

? We're gonna set the world alight ?

Yuss!

? Mermicorno! ?

? Starfall! ?

? Mermicorno! ?

? Starfall! ?

As we approach Ika's lair,

many questions must still be answered,

like why did Pearl Girl go missing

on her Adopt-iversary?

Could it have been something

to do with the Starfall?

[sighs] I don't know,

but I'm going

to find out.

Ooh, I can help.

Maybe there's a clue

in one of my dad's stories.

Hmm. Dad had a great one about a starfish!

[in low voice] Once upon a time-

Um, Kameko?

I can figure it out by myself.

Thanks though.

Oh, um, okay.

Uh, Nautique?

You could try working with Kameko.

You know me, Squish.

I do my best problem-solving alone.

Yeah, get thinking, smarty-fins,

'cause we got a problem.

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

[gasps] It's Sawtooth and...

those must be the Squidions.

Everyone, swim away!

Go! I'll try and hold them off!

[Gwen grunting]

[magical music]

[Sawtooth chuckling]

[Gwen gasping]

[dramatic music] [Gwen grunting]

Uh, Astra?

I think I'm outta juice!

There!

We'll lose them in there!

Uh, oh!

[grunts] Come on, Nautique!

No! The light!

Whoa!

[soft growling] [ominous music]

Whoa.

No way.

That's the Creepy Kelp Forest.

We'll wait out here for them to come out.

If they come out.

[panting]

Ugh!

I'm doing entirely too much

? swimming for my life these days ?

We can hide in here

'til Sawtooth and the Squidions are gone.

Cool. One question.

Where's here?

Hmm. The last sign we passed

said the Creepy Kelp Forest was this way.

Creepy Kelp Forest?

We gotta get outta here!

[panting]

What are you doing?

Sawtooth and the Squidions are out there, remember?

We can't leave.

This place is way more dangerous.

Why? 'Cause it's called the Creepy Kelp Forest? Ha!

Come on, I've seen creepier.

And, honestly, kelp-ier.

No! 'Cause of the Water Sprites.

The Water Sprites were mischievous tricksters

who followed The Way of the Kelp.

They used to lock anyone who entered the forest

in the kelp dungeons deep below.

But not all the Sprites were bad.

Some thought travellers deserved a chance

to follow The Way of the Kelp,

so they invented three tests.

One: Be one with the Kelp.

Two: grow like the Kelp.

Three: Flow like the Kelp.

Pass two of the three tests, and you could leave.

Fail, and you'd be taken to the dungeons forever.

Once we pass those statues, the tests begin.

If we don't pass two tests, we'll be trapped here.

This is great!

Uh, what part?

The part with the evil Water Sprites

or the part where we're trapped forever?!

The part about the tests!

Leave it to me.

I'll have us out in no time.

But I have a bad feeling about this.

You've gotta trust me.

I only trust what I can see.

That's how Squish and I have gotten by since the Starfall.

[Squishella]. ? Ooh, it's a flashback, yeah ?

? Ooooahhhh! ?

? Ooooooh! Ooooh! ?

Thank you for acknowledging my

? once in a lifetime talent ?

Another horsey-fish?

Fascinating.

Uh, care to test your luck, miss?

All right. Find the sponge, win big.

Just three coins to play.

Three coins, huh?

That is exactly how much I have.

I'm in.

[rhythmic drum music]

That's easy.

It's... uh...

None of them.

The sponge is on the ground.

He tossed it when you weren't looking.

Hey!

You gotta pay to play, bub!

Well, I'm playing,

and I say it's none of these shells.

Final answer.

[grumbling]

Can't get a break these days.

Wow, you really saved my fins, kid.

Hey, you're a horsey-fish too.

No, you're a...a...

[echoing] Mermicorno.

A Mermicorno.

So are you!

I'm Nautique.

Squishella, soon to be famous

? pop star ?

Uh, but you can call me Squish.

[Nautique]. Following my observations

kept Squish and I safe.

That's what helped us find Ika's trail.

And that's what'll get us out of this forest.

Wait, wait, wait!

No, no, no, no, no.

The statues!

Ah!

[rumbling]

No, no, no, no, no!

[grunting]

[Kameko]. A Water Sprite!

[in unison] Awww!

Hello?!

Danger! Remember?

I know, but it's so cute, cute, cute!

[Water Sprite cooing]

I've got it.

It's telling us the way out.

Swim up twice, left twice, up, left.

Easy.

But my dad said there were three tests.

And leaving does not sound like Being One with the Kelp.

Be One with the Kelp,

as in move as one.

I think it wants us to copy it.

[playful music]

Kameko, I think you're right.

Hey, nice one, kid.

[giggles] Follow me everyone.

[playful music]

Come on, Nautique.

Shake a tail.

[Nautique groaning]

Whoa! -We're losing time.

Look, it just keeps asking us

to do the same thing over and over.

Maybe that means I was right the first time.

Wait! What are you doing?

[tense music]

So we failed the first test.

It's no big deal.

Sure, if we make one more mistake,

we'll be trapped in here forever,

not to mention I've never failed anything in my life,

but other than that, everything's fine.

Would you excuse me just a moment over here by myself,

thank you.

[Squishella hyperventilating]

No way are we trapped,

'cause I'm getting us out.

[upbeat techno music]

Ah!

Heh?

[upbeat techno music]

Oh!

Let me try that one more time.

Ahhhhhhh!

[Squishella]. Ahem!

I'm literally begging you to stop!

Why didn't you listen to me?

We could have passed the first test.

We don't know your way was right.

Ha ha. Really?

'Cause where I come from,

red, glowy eyes means not loving the direction you've chosen.

There's no sense in focusing on the past.

We've still got two more tests to do.

Kameko, you seem to know a lot about the Creepy Kelp Forest.

Why don't you lead the way?

it's the same statues again.

That must mean this is the second test:

Grow like the Kelp.

Remember, Water Sprites are tricky.

We can't let anything distract us.

[gasps] Ooh, so pretty.

Nothing after this.

[ominous music]

[playful music]

It looks like they want us to pick a path.

What does that have to do with Grow like the Kelp?

Already got the answer.

Kelp grows towards light.

And see? Light!

Evidence of a break in the kelp walls.

So that must be the way.

Second test solved. Let's go.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

What do you think, Kameko?

But I figured it out.

Yes, but Kameko had some good instincts back there.

I think we should hear what she has to say

before we make a final decision.

That's way too easy.

Water Sprites are tricksters, remember?

That means everything here is backwards.

Up is down, one is two.

Beautiful lights are traps of doom.

So the right path is that one.

Really?

My answer is grounded in scientific fact.

What's your proof?

Who needs proof when I have this?

Uh, your belly button?

My gut! My feelings!

My instincts!

Okay, well you can follow your belly button,

but facts tell me this is actually the right path.

I know it.

Like you knew the answer to the last test?

Fine. Do whatever you want,

but Squish and I are going the right way.

? Um... ?

Well, fine!

Gwen and I are gonna go the real right way,

which is the left way.

Which I realize is confusing.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let's all take a nice deep breath of water.

[Astra inhaling]

[deep exhaling]

I know we're all worried,

but we can't let this place divide us.

If we all work together,

I know we'll find a solution we all feel good about.

Aww, fish fingers.

[playful music] [Water Sprites giggling]

I really wish we hadn't split up with Nautique and Squish.

Don't worry.

Any minute now Nautique's gonna swim after us

and admit I was right.

At which point I will do the Kameko Told You So Dance.

which looks like this.

Kameko told you so! Kameko told you so!

And jazz hands!

Maybe we should hold off on the jazz hands?

We're not out of the woods yet.

This must be the next test:

Flow with the Kelp.

I bet we just need to swim through it

without getting caught in the kelp.

Watch this Water Sprites.

I'm getting used to this tail.

[Kameko giggling]

Whoa! Whoa!

I meant to do that!

Yeah, this seems easy enough.

Okay, just stick to me.

[Water Sprites giggling]

Oh, I don't like the sound of that.

[gasps] The Water Sprites are moving the kelp strands.

Gwen! Look out!

[Water Sprites giggling]

Ah!

[Gwen spitting]

You broke the kelp!

I don't think kelp-loving Sprites are going to like that.

Maybe it'll be fine?

[rumbling]

[gasps] Ah!

Hang on.

There's a current.

This must be the third test:

Flow with the Kelp!

Now we just let this current carry us right out of here.

See? I knew I was right.

Squish?

You okay?

Usually you love not having to lift a fin.

Nautique, you know I love you

as much as I hate any kind of physical effort,

but it doesn't feel right to be here without the others.

Then they should have listened to me.

Or you should have listened to them.

Listen, you're really smart,

but sometimes you come up with solutions without checking

with anyone else.

And sometimes that's a problem.

I do that with you all the time and you don't mind.

Right?

[soft upbeat music]

Huh. -Hmm.

Are you sure this is a good idea, Nautique?

Of course.

It's your tiara.

We'll just find it and be on our way.

And there it is!

[Trench Keeper]. Who dares trespass in my trench?

? What?! ?

Uh, this is your trench?

So gorge. Ha ha.

Anyway, we'll be leaving.

Don't worry. I'll handle this.

Wait! Nautique!

Don't...

There's a logical explanation, Squishella.

What you perceive to be a dangerous foe

is actually a regular fish trying to appear intimidating.

Nautique.

[sputters] Watch your tone,

or I'll marshal the tides against you!

Respectfully, sir,

the tides are beyond any fish's control,

so I suspect you may be exaggerating.

Humph!

[growling]

Upon further investigation,

he was not exaggerating.

So, yeah, acting on your own, it can be an issue.

Oh. I didn't realize.

I hope the others are okay.

We're not okay! We're not okay!

We're not okay!

[everyone grunting]

Astra! Help! Ah!

I gotcha!

[dramatic music]

Ahhhh! Oof!

Gwen! We made it!

We're okay.

Terrific.

Can you please get off me?

It's a dead end.

This was the wrong way.

[sighs] Nautique was right.

Yeah. I guess he does know what he's talking about.

Sometimes.

If we're gonna survive this place,

we have to do it together.

Let's go find Squishella and Nautique.

I'm calling it.

If those Mermicornos haven't come out by now,

that means those Water Sprites got 'em.

But if you two wanna head in just to make sure,

suit yourselves.

[squeaking]

Ugh, gross, you're getting ooze on me. Just...

[squeaking]

Not this. Okay, guys, guys.

Ugh.

[ominous music]

I guess we're nearly there.

Wow. It's a gorgeous day out.

Have you ever seen the ocean so blue?

No, actually I haven't.

And is it me or is the current getting stronger?

This is no current.

[Water Sprites giggling]

AHHHH!!!

[both grunting]

? Wah! Ugh ?

[Water Sprites giggling]

[panting] Keep swimming, Squish!

[panting] I hate effort.

[dramatic music]

[Astra]. Nautique! Squishella!

Hang on!

[loud gasp] Astra!

Gwen! Kameko!

Hurry!

[in unison] Ah!

[Squishella]. Ow! Ow!

Ahhhhh!

[gasps] Thank you, thank you, thank you,

? thank you! ?

[Gwen]. Don't worry, Nautique!

We got ya!

[dramatic music]

[Astra gasping]

We don't got ya! We don't got ya!

We don't got ya.

[grunting]

Hang on, Nautique!

Hang on!

[grunting]

[loud gulping]

[gasping]

Nautique!

We gotta get that clam's mouth open!

And we need everyone's help!

[determined music]

[Astra groaning]

[upbeat determined music]

Tickle, tickle!

[clam sputtering]

AHHH-

CHOOOO!!!

[everyone screaming]

Aww. Nautique, I was so worried about you.

And I'm just now remembering you're covered in clam snot.

I'm so sorry, Kameko.

You were right about everything.

It's just... [sighs]

I'm usually the one who figures things out.

That's all I know about myself.

If I can't solve the problems,

I don't really know what I'm for.

But the smartest thing I could have done

would've been to work with you.

At the very least,

I wouldn't be covered in clam snot.

Just 'cause I figured some things out

doesn't mean you didn't.

Yeah.

It's not on you to figure it all out alone.

We're in this together.

Group hug.

I'm gonna say hold off on that! [gasps]

Uh, enough squeezing.

We're running out of time!

We need to find a way out of here.

But how?

Neither pathway was the right one.

What does Grow like the Kelp mean?

[Kameko gasping]

I think Kameko has an idea.

It's down!

The roots of the kelp start in the seabed.

If we want to Grow like the Kelp,

we have to plant ourselves in the ground!

[grunting]

Woohoo! -[chuckles] Yeah!

Wah! -Uh oh!

We did it! Just one more test.

Flow like the Kelp.

I think we have to get across this room

to that other statue.

[gulps] One wrong move

and we'll be skewered like yakitori.

Mmm, I could totally go for yakitori.

Yep. Heard it as soon as I said it.

Totally not the time.

One-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,

one-two-three-four, one-two.

It's a repeating pattern.

A rhythm.

I can feel the beat.

I just need to study them for a minute.

One-two-three-

He's getting too close to the vents!

It's okay!

I think Nautique's figuring out the rhythm of the vents.

If he finds a way through,

we can follow him.

Then we'll pass the test!

I think I got the pattern!

Come on!

[rhythmic music]

Hmm.

[rhythmic music continues]

[laughs] This is kind of fun!

It's almost like we're dancing!

[playful rhythmic music]

[gasps] Nautique, your tail!

It's glowing!

Whoa! Nautique's got some moves!

Come on, everyone.

Follow along.

[Nautique chuckling] [playful rhythmic music]

[Nautique]. One-two-three-four,

one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four!

[playful rhythmic music]

Yippee!

Uh-huh!

One-two-three-four, one-two-three-four,

one-two-three-four.

Nautique's through!

And so are we!

[Kameko]. Nautique,

touch the statue to pass the test.

[everyone cheering]

Ah!

No! Not fair!

We passed your tests, you sneaky Sprites!

[Water Sprites chittering]

You can't keep me here forever!

We need to get out of here!

[Kameko]. Nautique!

[gasps] Look, you're glowing!

I think dancing is your Creative Force.

I think you're right!

[magical music]

[Kameko]. Something's happening.

Keep dancing!

[upbeat energetic music]

?

Whoa!

[in unison] Ah! Whoa!

[in unison] AHHH!

[chuckling]

We did it!

We got through the Creepy Kelp Forest!

Negative.

This is exactly where we started.

Look, we're back to the phosphorescent trail.

You saved us from the Water Sprites!

And we ditched Sawtooth and the Squidions.

[giggling] Plus, that dragony-glowy-wavy thing

when you were dancing was amazing.

You have dance powers, Nautique!

Yatta! Sugoi!

[chuckles] Wow.

Thanks, Kameko.

We make a pretty good team.

Do you know what else I bet we'd be good at?

Conga!

One-two-three-kick, one-two-three-kick,

one-two-three-kick, one-two-three-kick,

one-two-three-kick.
