Whoa...

Incredible!

I didn't know there was a dungeon underneath our town.

Well, let's look. What do we have here?

Pyramid construction?

Uh, I doubt that'll be useful.

Riding seahorses?

Well, no one will be really impressed.

What is this?

Looks like...

a blow or something.

Unbelievable!

It's the secret punch that tears holes in the walls!

It's absolute pure magic!

Your discoveries are going to turn our world upside down.

In the name of the shark that will bite me, Delphi! Where were you?!

You promised to go to the Dolph-cathlon together!

To the greatest, most exciting event

in the greatest town in the Seven Seas!

Oh, sorry, Zeb.

I was exploring the ancient ruins

- on the lower floors. - Mm-hmm.

And I found some unusual pictures,

some kind of instructions.

It's some way of tossing stones with your tail.

A secret punch, can you imagine?

Oh, no!

You will never quit fantasizing, will you?

Everyone already laughs at you.

Let 'em laugh. It's a lot better

than watching some stupid match

with a long time predestined winner.

- Alpha, Alpha. - Alpha, look at me.

One smile, please.

Great! Let me guess.

Alpha won again, am I right?

Okay, you're right.

Yeah, this time Alpha won again.

But that's just because you didn't want to take part.

He definitely'd be no match for you,

once he saw your secret punch.

Catch me, stuff me,

and dip me in hot fish oil!

Looks like one naive dolphin

has been struck by Cupid's love harpoon.

Well, what?

All I'm saying is that Mia will be glad

if you won't shy away and finally take her someplace.

To check out the brown algae or black rocks, for instance.

Me, Mia and brown algae all around?

That'll never happen, not even in my wildest dreams.

Mia's about to marry Alpha.

That's what her father wants.

Have you forgotten that Octavian is the mayor of our town?

She's not his blood, she's his stepdaughter.

He's an octopus, and she's a dolphin, right?

Trust me, Mia will go out with me

only on the day the Gulf turns cold

and all the salt disappears from the ocean.

Hi there, Delphi.

What? Catfish got your tongue?

Oh, no, hi.

Hi, Delphi.

Ah, Delphi.

I see you missed the Dolph-cathlon again?

I think he's just scared to face a mighty mammal like you, Alpha.

He's no warrior. He's just a dreamer.

"A dreamer"?

Not a bit! He's a supremer!

Come on, Delphi, tell him about your secret punch.

Zeb, please, don't start that.

A secret punch?

Try it on me, baby face.

Come on, Alpha. We'll be late for the council.

Hang on. I really want to see his secret punch.

Come on, show me this punch.

Well, I'd love to show you the secret punch,

but then it wouldn't really be a secret, would it?

No. Uh...

I mean, yes.

I mean... You're confusing me!

This dreamer is giving me a headache

and a stomachache and a tail ache.

Let's swim.

We really need to get to the council.

Mia, don't fall behind!

My dear citizens,

I have been a mayor of this town for a few years now.

You and I, tentacle to tentacle, fin to fin,

have been through a lot and have swum through a lot.

But now we see the currents are changing.

Fish Town needs a new hero,

someone who can navigate through the storm

and lead us to calmer waters.

Fish Town needs a new leader.

And this leader is... me.

Do you have any more questions?

Huh? What? Where am I?

Oh, my dear lady Demetra,

you are here now, at the council.

Well, I have a question.

Very well.

I'm happy to give the floor to anglerfish Udo,

'cause they complain that we always dismiss the opposition

and never let them speak.

Hah. We're listening.

My dear mayor, we all actually remember

what you promised us before the elections.

Well, but nothing ever came out of that.

For example, what about street lights?

You promised all of us fish that nights would be as bright as day,

but many streets in our town are still very dark,

and your beloved citizens still get bumps and bruises.

Yes, indeed.

Some of the lights are still missing, that's true.

But we conducted an investigation

that showed your own employees from AnglerLights,

who, as we know, report to you, my dear sir,

have themselves taken out those bulbs.

Mm...

I'll make sure that the guilty ones will bear the consequences.

But there is also disorder in the town.

Three days ago, soccer fans trashed half a block

after the final match of Tuna vs. Codfish.

Hmm, well, I admit, that did happen, yes.

But we found out that the reason for that...

was an unlicensed betting house,

as the fans had not received their winnings.

And we tend to believe

that the game was organized by some...

unknown anglerfish.

A coincidence? I don't think so.

Well, me... I-I've heard...

I know for a fact

that the wedding of our famous elite dolphin guard Alpha

and your stepdaughter has been financed from the town budget.

Am I right, Mr. Mayor?

You want to have fun at our expense?

No, it's you, Udo!

You're desperately trying to fish out some lucre from the town budget.

But I'll make sure your angle never gets there.

I'll never let you do that.

Hah! Once I become mayor...

I will... I will... I will...

I will show all of you! Foolish fish!

Thank goodness. Let our assembly proceed.

So, what's up next, Celine?

Every day, Alpha and Octavian

discuss dolphin guards posts and passwords for entering the city.

Do they really think I don't know them?

Hah!

They're laughing at me.

Well, soon the tides

will for sure turn against you, Octavian.

We are morays!

So stop living in the dark and barren murky trenches, like some petty nomads,

while all those other worthless finned nullities

live in the prosperous Fish Town.

Boss! But what are we planning to do

about their elite dolphin guards?

For them, I have a master plan.

I need you three to swim out to the Black Rock by the old fortress.

There you will wait for a secret contact of mine.

- A double agent? - Yes.

- I wonder who he works for. - Exactly.

- Is it clear? - Yeah.

Off you go, then!

Fish Town will be ours!

Once and forever.

Why do you have to train your secret punch

by the old fortress? We can't get in there.

Its walls rise over the water.

Besides, Octavian forbade us to go there

after your Dad's disappearance.

You know, it's been a year since he disappeared.

Yes, a whole year.

But I believe he's alive,

even though everybody keeps saying he's dead.

Well, maybe you don't need any secret punch.

Maybe you just want to find your father.

Me? No.

I mean... I just...

His disappearance was really strange.

I think he sensed something.

Delphi, my son.

In life, you can achieve anything you want.

Just remain brave and honest.

And never give up following your dream.

Dad, why are you telling me all this?

Has something happened?

No. But it could.

Soon I must embark on a dangerous trip, son,

and I'm afraid I may never come back.

"May never come back"? What do you mean?

Are you going somewhere far away?

Yes, Delphi. Very, very far away.

But I hope that everything will be fine,

and I will come home.

It's gonna be fine.

Father!

Yeah. Your dad is a great dolphin,

a brilliant scientist. He'll find a way back.

But if not, guess what? I can replace him. Check it out:

"Tell me, my son,

why are you embarrassing me in front of fish and mammals?

Why are you such a wimp when it comes to that Mia?

If I were younger, I would..."

What?

Bite my fins off!

Look at this place!

Okay, it's time to start mastering my punch.

What do we have here?

For example, I'll start with, uh...

I should start with... With that wall!

- This one? - Well, yeah.

Really, why not?

One, two, three!

Um... if you wanna break that wall with the rock,

use the Force inside you to throw you must, my young Padawan.

I saw that on Sea Wars.

All this is such nonsense.

Oh, come on, Delphi. You are the only true superhero.

Yeah? Okay then.

Well...

Let's do it again. I believe in you.

- You do? - Absolutely, bro.

And you have to believe in yourself, too.

"Believe in myself"?

Yeah, I believe in me.

Hold my water...

I think it kinda looks like me.

Don't you think so?

Why it resembles you? It looks more like me.

Nah, nothing in common. He looks just like me.

Like me!

- Like me! - Like me!

Like me!

- Me! Me! - Me! Me!

- Me! Me! Me! - Me! Me! Me!

- Me! Me! - Me! Me!

- Me! Me! Me! - Me! Me! Me!

- Me! - Me!

Shut up, you two!

Hm?

I'm behind you, you morons.

Did you hear that sound?

What? What happened?

Let's swim, let's check it out.

Where're those morays?

Eels can be so slippery.

You just can't do business with them.

Well... I'll have to use plan B.

That's unbelievable!

Holy sashimi!

I have always believed in you, bro!

I can't believe it, Zeb! I made a discovery!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

I'm cool! I'm smart! I'm wise!

I'm just like the old turtle Demetra!

Aunt Demetra! What did you do?!

You accidentally swallowed up my best friend!

Delphi, hold on! I'll save ya!

Ah, just don't eat anything in there!

She's full of everything that's expired!

It's me, Delphi.

Cross my stripes, Delphi!

You now look like Auntie Demetra!

But that's impossible.

Am I really a turtle now?

Whoa! No way.

I look just like Auntie Demetra.

All I did was say her name

just before I went through the ancient arch.

And now look at me, Zeb.

It's pure magic.

First you name someone, then you become them.

Voila!

Let's give it a try.

I want to be a-a shark.

Whoo-hoo!

I'm a striped shark now!

Are my teeth sharp enough?

What is this arch?

I have no idea!

But it's definitely magic.

Let me try.

I want to have loads of money!

Hey, what's this?! I didn't mean it like that!

Delphi, help!

I don't wanna be a piece of metal.

I'll pay ya. Any money!

I have a lot now.

Let's try one more time.

Maybe we'll manage to become ourselves again.

Mm-hmm!

We wanna become Delphi and Zeb again.

It worked!

Yeah, I can see my fins now.

Delphi, you know?

I can still feel some coins in my belly.

Bite me, my dumb brothers, I must be dreaming.

Hey, what are you? What are you, crazy?

It was just a figure of speech, morons.

We made the greatest discovery!

We should tell Octavian as soon as possible!

No, Delphi, it's a big mistake.

The magic arch is our secret. You didn't forget, did you?

The magic arch could make Fish Town safe forever and ever.

The main thing is we don't let it get into any nasty fins.

"Some nasty fins"? It won't!

You and me have the best fins ever.

Halt you two!

- What's the password? - Come on, Alpha, let us through.

No, Delphi. Not without the password.

Come on, stop it.

I have something important to tell Octavian.

- What is it? - It's a secret.

Again your secrets. I'm sorry, Delphi.

You don't know the password, so you can't swim inside.

Don't you know that place is out of bounds?

What did you do there?

I bet he saw those two-legged creatures with strange tubes.

Again, for the tenth time.

Delphi, they say you're still planning to become one of our guards.

Well, don't even bother.

A wimp can never become one of us.

But I can promise you, whenever we decide

to put together a seahorse SWAT team,

you'll be on the list. Number one.

Me, wimp?

- Yeah. - You all... I will...

I will show you how strong I am!

Oh, no, no, Delphi.

No, no, don't do that, please!

You, minnow, don't ever show your snout here again!

- Alpha? - Hm?

What's going on here?

Delphi was trying to swim out of a no-go zone without a password.

Yeah. And Alpha didn't let him through.

- Alpha? - What?

Honey, I'm just doing my duty. By the way,

why do you care about this useless piece of crap?

Piece of crap.

I think it's none of your business.

Just you wait.

You're gonna sing a different tune

the day that you become my wife.

Well, I'm not your wife yet,

and I can say whatever I want to.

I just don't get it.

What do you like about this Delphi?

He's a dreamer, who has too much whitecaps on his mind.

True, but still... But he-he's really romantic.

Although he's also very shy.

You're dating Alpha.

He's a hundred times cooler.

Alpha? Hah!

Alpha's too selfish and swell-headed.

And he thinks that I'm his property,

even though we are not married yet.

That's not true.

Alpha... He's not like that at all!

Dora, dear, why are you defending him like that?

Maybe you're the one who is into him?

What? Me?

No. I just... Uh...

You're my friend. I want you to be happy.

Yeah, right. I see that, of course.

Everybody all the time wants me to be happy.

Dad, Alpha, now you too.

Okay, let's just swim.

And enough about Delphi.

Calling me a wimp!

Just you wait. I'll show Alpha who's who.

I'll turn into a giant shark, and then I'll kick his tail!

Why don't we, you know, also turn into someone?

Yeah!

Into whom? Morays are the most beautiful

and strong creatures in the global ocean.

But not the largest ones.

I am a big, a really big moray.

Hmm...

Whoa, Nik. You're as big as a shark.

Yeah.

Come on, brothers. Transform yourselves now.

Whoa! I have become a real giant.

Me too.

Quiet! Listen to my new plan.

You two stay here and guard the magic arch,

and I'll swim to Morenius and tell him the news.

He'll take all the morays here.

We'll all transform,

and then we'll easily conquer Fish Town.

Delphi! Delphi!

Delphi, where are you?

Delphi!

Delphi?

- Delphi, where're you going? - To Octavian!

Has he decided to tell him our secret?

Delphi, wait!

Alpha is one big fool for letting Mia talk like that.

- If I had a girlfriend, I... - Stop your bubbling!

Find yourself a girlfriend, Beta,

and then you will judge me.

Hey, I said no entry without a password.

We don't have much time! We have to warn Octavian now!

Hey, that was the wrong password!

Father?

I think I need to talk to you.

It's about Alpha and our wedding.

- I... - What about the wedding?

Well, don't you worry, Mia.

You'll marry soon.

First, we'll have elections, then...

No, in fact I wanted to say...

You can't just barge in here unannounced!

What in the Neptune's name?

I'm sorry, Octavian.

I have very... important news for you.

A-ha! Gotcha!

Get lost, you dumb piece of muscle!

Not now, Alpha. Fish Town is in danger.

The only one in danger is you. You didn't say the password!

There's no time for this nonsense now.

What? What you mean, "No time for this nonsense now"?

Protocols and passwords are not "this nonsense."

Such words are a slippery slope to town problems!

Just listen to us.

Zeb and I were exploring

the old fortress this morning...

Oh, I don't want to listen to this rubbish.

Without regulations and protocols,

society would rot and collapse.

Okay, point taken. But the thing is,

we were there and I was training and suddenly...

Oh, please, don't say you were training your secret punch.

Yes. The secret punch.

I was practicing it and-and I tore

a little hole in the fortress wall.

Yeah! And there, inside, we found a hidden city!

Amazing pyramids and buildings and... a magic arch, too!

Okay, you're crazy too, Zeb.

Delphi's imagination is contagious.

Can't you understand? The magic arch is real!

And it can turn you into anything, so...

I understand, but regulations and laws are there for a reason.

They must be followed.

Father, I think you're missing the point.

Excuse me, then.

I think that this is the very point, Mia.

Fish Town requires law and order.

You can't have one without the other.

Without regulations, we're no better than jellyfish.

Octavian, I beg you!

I saw several moray eels there.

They swam through the arch

and transformed into the size of whales.

And now they're going to lead Morenius to the arch

and the other morays, for them to transform and invade Fish Town!

A magic transformative arch? Delphi, who will believe you?

Everyone knows the sunken fortress

was built by the ancients, just like the very Fish Town.

You can't simply break its outer wall,

even with some secret punch.

But I did break it!

The secret punch? I want to see this punch.

What? N-no. It's not important.

Oh, I think it is, though.

If with my very exceptional critical eyes

I see this power you speak of,

then perhaps I'll believe the rest of your fairytale, then.

So, go on.

Show me this secret punch, if you dare.

Oh.

Well, it takes some concentration.

Oh, of course. Concentrate then, Delphi.

There's no hurry.

Okay.

Hm? Hm?

Oh, a dreamer.

His father was exactly the same.

He didn't follow protocols either.

And where is he now? Nobody knows.

Because your father simply vanished.

In the future, do try to follow the regulations, kiddo.

Ah, that's news to me.

So, the morays think they can play it their way without me.

Fine, then. I'll make sure they regret it.

Father, what if Delphi was telling the truth?

What if he did actually uncover the secret transformative arch,

and now Morenius might use it to attack Fish Town?

Oh, don't make my tentacles laugh.

Such event is the highest of highly unlikely things.

Perhaps you're right. But what if not?

Oh, very well. Okay.

Alpha, take Beta and Gamma,

swim there and check the sunken fortress.

We can't have "Fake News" casting a pall

over our elections that can kick up silt.

- But look... - It's an order, Alpha.

- Yes, aye-aye, Octavian. - Thank you so much, father.

There's no need to thank me, my dear.

You know I care about Fish Town with all three hearts.

Delphi always comes up with crazy ideas.

Yeah, he's hopeless.

And to think his father was such a respected man.

Great man.

But how? How could I have failed so terribly there?

And every shrimp saw it.

I can't believe I couldn't repeat my secret punch.

How humiliating! Such a disgrace!

Listen, don't be hard on yourself.

Your conscience is clear. You warned them,

and after all, you should learn how to lose.

Before you learn to lose, you need to learn how to win.

And I can't win!

You just needed to believe in yourself.

No, my friend. I need others to believe in me too.

But wait, I believe in you.

Me too.

- I also believe in you. - Really?

Well, I mean,

I think your words should be considered,

and we need to check everything.

There. I don't believe that you believe in me!

You just feel sorry for me.

And I don't need your pity, Mia!

- I'll do it myself. - Delphi!

Oh, my goldfish! What do I do with him now?

Nothing, Zeb. Dora and I will swim to the fortress.

And if everything is like Delphi told us,

then I will back up his words. Octavian will believe me.

No! You're crazy!

What if the morays are still around?

Then it's too dangerous.

Dangerous? Doesn't matter.

Dora and I will do it.

Otherwise the town can be ruined.

Mia, wait, don't go!

You don't understand!

Faster, faster now!

Get the lead out of your tail!

Come on! Come on!

Another ten times around!

That's it! Come on!

Move it!

Faster! Faster now!

Alpha, I thought my father ordered you

to go to the fortress and to check Delphi's words.

He did, you see, and now we're busy training for our mission.

Who said you could stop swimming now?!

Keep moving!

Move your tailfins!

You're training?

Delphi said that Morenius and the morays

are planning to attack our town.

Delphi says a lot of things.

That luna-fin can tell a fairytale

as easy as he can wave his tail.

Alpha, if Delphi is right, then Fish Town is in danger.

Your father ordered me to go check the fortress.

But he didn't say when I had to swim there.

So, show some respect to your boy-fin

and stop bothering him while he trains his elite guards!

Hmm.

Fine, then. We'll check it ourselves.

Let's swim, Dora.

Sorry, Mia, but...

but I trust Alpha's opinion on this.

He's in charge here. And he's my commander.

Yeah, I understand.

I'll manage without you.

Okay. Fine.

They didn't believe me,

but anyway, I need to do something.

But how?

I can't take on the morays all by myself.

But, on the other fin, if I don't do that now,

Fish Town may fall into their sharp-toothed mouths!

Hey, buddy! I was looking for you.

Listen, Mia decided to swim into the fortress

to see the morays herself.

Huh? Mia is in danger because of me now?

I'll be right back!

Again?! Bless my tuna! My mom was right.

I should have made friends with turtles.

Delphi! Wait!

Oh, some crabs are gnawing at my hearts.

What if Delphi was telling the truth?

What will happen to the town? To Mia?

Do you remember how we found her?

Of course I do.

Oh, Celine, look at this little thing.

- Hm. - Hmm...

I think her parents must have died in a fight or something.

Dad-dy?

Oh.

She... she called me "Daddy."

Aww, it was meant to be.

You should adopt this poor child.

Yeah.

And now she's all grown up.

She's become so stubborn.

What? The morays? I don't see any morays here.

There're no morays, I'm sure.

Me, afraid?

I'm not afraid of anything.

What a place.

Okay, Mia, you made it here.

How beautiful.

It turns out Delphi was telling the truth.

Oh, it's you.

Well, who else could it be?

Did you really think I'd let you swim here alone?

- You're my best friend. - I hope so.

All right, let's swim and see what there is to find here.

Look!

This must be that magic arch of transformations

Delphi was telling us about.

Arch of transformations?

It can turn you into anything you ever wanted to be.

So, it could make me just as beautiful as you are?

Or it can make me as strong as you are!

At least that's what Delphi told us.

Hard to believe.

But in any case, we should check it out.

Fee-fi-fo-fum.

I smell dolphin sashimi. Yum, yum, yum.

Yeah!

I can't believe it. Zeb, what were you thinking?

How could you let her go into the fortress alone?

The morays are there!

Is this what true friends do now?

I tried to stop her, but she didn't bother to listen to me.

Just like you.

Swim faster, Mia!

I'll hold them back!

Well, boys, you wanna fight?

Dora! Mia!

Hold on, girls!

You filthy, fat water snake!

Delphi, come to your senses, come on.

Delphi, get up!

They're here now!

Oh, hi. Catch me if you can!

Yeah!

Dora! Zeb!

Get Delphi, and get out of here!

And bring some help soon!

- Mia... - We can't handle them alone!

We need to get somebody to help!

But I can't just leave Mia here alone!

You don't have a choice!

If we don't get help soon, she's a goner.

Let's get going!

Hold on, Mia!

We'll be back, and we'll save you!

They're getting away.

Yeah.

What do you think we should do with that pink lady?

- You feel like eating her? - Yeah.

Celine, do you think I'm a good mayor or a great one?

Octavian! Help!

Listen to me, the morays, they...

You swam without password again!

How could you disobey me, you wimp?!

How could you disobey Octavian?

You never went to the sunken fortress!

- That's right. - You never went there?

I gave you a strict order!

I know, Octavian. But I first wanted to make sure

my guards were properly trained for such an important mission.

I suppose that's prudent, but still.

It's very important orders must be followed.

That's the point; orders, discipline, protocol.

Just stop! None of that matters now!

The morays have Mia. We need to save her!

What?! My daughter is trapped, you say?!

Alpha, what the heck does it mean?

But-but, sir, Mr. Mayor, I-I was just thinking...

"Thinking"? You can think?

Yes, Alpha. Thinking is not your strong suit, is it?

I'll handle it all, Octavian.

Can you just listen to me, please?

I saw it with my own eyes. The morays used the arch

to transform and became gigantic. They're way too strong!

To conquer them, we'll need the entire town army!

You know what? Only cowards say that.

Octavian, I will handle those eels,

and I'll return with your daughter.

Now, my war with them is personal.

- Take me! - No way, pal.

I don't need marinated fish. Get some rest.

Let the professionals do their job.

You should take me with you, Alpha. It's dangerous out there.

Don't you worry. I'll take care of myself.

Without you.

And don't you dare come back without my daughter!

That was very convincing, sir.

You should remember that tone in the future.

Alpha, look at that hole in the fortress wall. It's impressive.

Did Delphi really do this?

Uh-huh. With his so-called secret punch.

I'm tired of you two!

No more talk of some stupid fake punch.

This is an official mission of the Fish Town Elite Guard.

- Understood? - Yes, sir. Understood, sir.

Yes, that's more like it.

Come on, let's go fillet those morays and save my girlfriend.

Holy mackerel!

Alpha, see, I'm kind of nervous.

- Yeah, me too. - Shut up, both of you!

We're on a mission.

Whazzup, fin-fellas?

Are you guys staying... for dinner?

What should we do? What should we do?

What should we do? What should we do?

What should we do? What should we do?

What should we do? What should we do?

What should we do? What should we do?

Hey, you've said that 654 times in a row already.

Okay, but what should we do?

That's 655.

This whole thing is all my fault!

Yeah, buddy, it's all your fault.

If I hadn't punched through that wall,

if I hadn't found that stupid arch...

Yeah, if you hadn't punched through that wall,

if you hadn't found that arch.

I am a hopeless rotten cod, and I ruined everything.

That's honey for my ears!

Hey, don't be such a wuss! Stop blowing bubbles!

Mia is trapped! Do something at last!

Oh, yeah. You're right, Zeb.

Here's what I think:

If there's water already inside the fortress,

it means that there must be another way to get inside.

And you know what that means?

The law of communicating vessels, buddy?

- Exactly. - Hmm, you may be right somehow.

The walls of the fortress rise over the water.

Yeah. We need to find the other way in,

somehow sneak inside the fortress and then save Mia!

That sounds like a plan. But how do we find a way in?

I know somebody who may know this secret.

Hi, Auntie Demetra?

Auntie Demetra?

Hey!

What are you doing?

Auntie Demetra.

Dolphius?

Dude.

I'm so glad to see you.

- No, I'm Delphi, his son. - Oh, are you sure?

Yes.

Auntie Demetra, um, do you remember...

Did my father ever talk to you about a sunken fortress?

"Sunken"?

Well, there're-there're different kinds of sunken.

If you suffer from sunken eyes,

get some rest, my boy.

And if you have sunken abdomen,

then you should eat more.

Ah, come on, let's swim.

She doesn't know anything.

Auntie Demetra, we don't have much time.

I think I should get swimming.

Then swim, boy, but I just want to say

that you really look like Dolphius.

Are you absolutely sure you're not him?

I am. And I'm sorry I bothered you.

I really have to swim.

Your father used to come visit me

and told me about an old fortress.

An old fortress?

That's-that's what I was asking you about.

You should have said so!

Why on Earth would you go on about your sunken abdomen?

Anyway...

He swam through some hidden tunnel and, um...

and found some pyramids and arches inside.

What can it be?

Dolphius told me

that the stone was thrown by him through the Arch.

It looked as if it had been in the water for many, many years.

It was like the stone went back in time.

So, he realized that this arch

sends you back to the past.

He then found another pyramid within the fortress

with another arch in it.

Dolphius decided to try it out with another stone.

The stone disappeared.

And Dolphius assumed that this arch

sends things to the future.

Consequently, if he goes back to the past,

he would be able to come back.

He wanted to try his theory out.

That's just incredible!

Auntie Demetra, you're a genius! Unbelievable!

Finally, I know where my father went.

Did he, by any chance, say where the tunnel was?

Where? Where?

Yeah, he did. That's right.

It's... it's near some funny thing.

I've been laughing for three days straight!

Or was it four days?

Ah...

Near the legged fish!

Yeah, that's really funny.

Thank you, we got it now.

My pleasure.

And don't forget to tell your little son hi, Dolphius.

Uh-huh, he sure will. I'll remind him.

Well, well, well... It's marvelous, isn't it?

It's absolutely fantastic!

I don't believe my eyes!

So, you're saying

that this magic arch turned you into a giant?

That's correct, my underwater Majesty.

Bob and Pete are guarding it.

I love it when the day ends with some delightful news.

Fish Town will soon be ours.

And I will call it Moray-ville!

Hooray! Long live Moray-ville!

- Long live Morenius! - Long live Morenius!

We barely got away.

Somehow those morays transformed themselves into huge monsters.

So Delphi was telling the truth.

Okay, we need a plan.

I know exactly what to do.

You, Alpha, had enough chances

to prove your worth, but you failed.

Seahorses, your opinion.

Well, we could let's say, hide somewhere?

That's not a plan!

Fish Town is in actual, imminent danger.

Manta, do you perhaps have a suggestion?

Hm, I have an idea.

We could somehow slowly adapt, grow lungs, learn to breath air.

Eventually, our fins would turn to legs,

and we could all become land dwellers.

Too evolutionary!

Is there anybody else?

We... we have a plan!

- I'm sure there's a way... - Not you again!

This is all his fault since the very beginning.

If it hadn't been for Delphi, Mia would be completely safe.

Now that you mention it, Alpha,

Mia would never have gone to the old fortress

if you had followed Octavian's order like you should...

That's enough!

It doesn't matter who should be blamed for this.

Fish Town is in danger, and we need a plan!

That's exactly what I'm trying to tell you!

We have a plan.

Fine then. You may speak.

My father found a secret passage into the old fortress,

and inside, there're two more arches

that make it possible to time travel!

We need to go back in time where there're no giant morays.

Then we can get bigger, and leap in time to now, and kick the morays' tails!

I think that Manta's plan is much more likely to happen.

Your plan is absolute nonsense.

Admit it, Delphi.

Do you need me to tell you again?

Your Dad disappeared and never came back.

There's no way he should be our inspiration.

- Yeah, but... - No more "buts."

Now, listen to my plan.

The morays will definitely come back to the fortress

to get transformed and become invincible.

We have to fight them before it happens.

The fortress and the town

can only be accessed from the north or the south.

We're protected by underwater rocks from the east and west.

They won't attack from the south

because they would have to make a long trip lasting a few days.

So that means the morays will be attacking from the north.

They will take the shortest way through a mountain range,

with only one narrow passage.

We have to meet them in this very passage.

The morays don't know that we have figured out their plan.

We'll defeat the morays,

and then we'll get back to the fortress,

and save Mia!

At last. A plan!

Trumpeters, sound the horns!

It's not gonna work! Hey, it's not gonna work!

- Shut up, Delphi. - This plan will fail!

One of them is really enormous.

Please, Octavian. Believe me, it's important.

Fine, then. I'll go back in time myself.

- Alone. - No, I'm going with you.

It's too dangerous. What if I'm wrong?

Do you understand we might never come back?

What do you mean, bro? We will get back.

I believe in you.

- You do? - Of course.

What other choice do I have?

Then let's go!

We're losing time.

Where could this tunnel be?

Maybe Demetra made some kind of mistake?

What? Aunt Dementia? Mistaken?

No way. You're wrong.

That can't be.

Her sharp mind can be an example to...

Hold on a sec.

Didn't that look like a...

Look here!

There's a sign on the stone.

Just like the one on the arch. You've got a good eye, Zeb.

Okay, and what will happen if I try and...

No, no, no! What? Don't do that!

We should not...

Hello?

Is anybody there?

Uh... maybe you go first and then me?

You see, because, uh, you're the muscles, and I am the brain.

And the brain must be taken care of.

Oh, yeah? You're right.

Look, it must be the entrance to the pyramid.

Let's swim.

- Uh-oh. - Let's get outta here!

Delphi, there's something I have to tell you.

Do you remember how you lost your Dolph-cathlon cards when you were kid?

Well, you didn't lose them. They were stolen.

Who stole them? What are you talking about?

One very little, but very nice fish!

He wanted to give them back to you,

but never got a chance to because...

...a huge ball squeezed him into clam chowder!

No, it didn't!

Phew. I think I now know the origins of the flatfish.

Holy mackerel! Where are we?

Where we need to be. Look over there.

This is it.

The arch that sends you into the past.

And here's the stone that he threw.

It's just like Demetra told us.

The second pyramid is out there

and in it, the arch that will bring us back to now.

Listen, maybe we can just transform now without any time travel.

I'm not afraid, but the morays may be asleep...

No, it's way too risky.

If they notice us, we'll become fish and chips.

Uh, another idea.

You swim in there, and I'll stay here.

Here, I'll handle all the hard work. That's right.

I will, by myself, make sure our mission runs smoothly.

And you... You'll be safe there.

And you'll get back to me at once.

Uh, but just in case, my friend, goodbye.

Okay, now I have to do it.

Goodbye, Zeb.

Delphi, uh, you're not serious about this, are you?

Delphi, stop, don't do it.

You have to try it out first!

Delphi!

Delphi, where are you?

He's gone.

He really went back in time.

And I thought it was all nonsense.

I shouldn't have let him go alone.

He'll get into hot water, like he always does,

and I'll have to chill it.

Huh?

Delphi?

Delphi?

Where are you?

Am I... in the past now?

Or not?

I'm stuck.

Did you get scared there?

Me? Uh, I would never.

It was my battle-cry.

I just didn't want to leave you alone here.

You'd better stay.

It seems we have a serious problem here, Zeb.

- A problem? - Yeah.

We're inside the pyramid, but the exit is blocked.

It's no use, Zeb. I already tried myself.

Uh... Let's agree right away, okay?

No matter how hungry you get, you won't eat me.

Some of my ancestors, you know, were really poisonous!

We have a deal, Delphi?

Delphi? My son!

- Dad? - You're here!

I don't believe it. Is that you?

And I started to think I had lost you.

I missed you so.

Whoa, Mr. Dolphius.

And we thought you kind of turned into fish food.

Hello, Zeb. How did you two get here?

You won't believe it.

We went through the hidden tunnel, found the arch, and...

Oh, I see. Exactly what I feared.

Delphi, let me explain.

The exit from this pyramid in our time is open,

but in the past it's somehow locked.

I just haven't managed to open it.

But we can try to swim through the tunnel.

I've tried it, but that exit is blocked, too.

And why don't we try swimming through the arch one more time?

Mm-mm. It doesn't work.

That means now we're trapped.

Unfortunately.

But I'm so proud of you, my son, that you could find me.

I've been digging a new tunnel for a year.

Maybe you can help me with this.

But we have no time for a tunnel.

No time? But why?

Father, let me explain it to you.

Brothers and sisters,

this is it, the moment that we have trained for!

This is going to be the most important battle of our lives.

The enemy is very strong, but we can't let them pass.

Because otherwise, if we don't stop them...

Our Fish Town will perish.

We may sacrifice our lives,

but we'll never let them through!

Don't you think he's too emotional?

Now, guards, citizens,

for Fish Town, attack!

If these kids want to play the game,

let's kick their tails then!

Attack! Let's destroy them!

Delphi, you have a great plan,

but how do we get it into action?

Dad, for sure we'll think of something

now that we're together again.

Delphi, there should be a way out!

I think it's somewhere right under our very noses.

- Mm-hmm. - And that's why we can't see it.

Hm, right under your nose.

Hm. Mm-hmm.

If you can't find a way out, that means you have to make one.

Mommy, Mommy, please, let me ride a seahorse.

Yeah, me too.

Come on!

I hope Delphi will think of something

and that he will be back as he promised.

What? Huh? No, no, we don't sleep.

- Yeah, we're awake. - We're awake. Yeah.

What are you doing?

Stop tickling me!

Our plan is working well. Now, it's your turn, Nik.

Hey, let's finish this!

Hey, everyone!

The name is Nik.

Sorry I'm a bit late.

But I'll serve all of ya.

Yes, who's up for teeth pulling?

Who wants to fix their nasal septum?

I'm your eel!

Well, who's next, huh?

I know what I have to do.

What is your plan, Delphi?

I'll use my secret punch.

Blast my gizzard! You're right, friend.

Mr. Dolphius, don't you worry.

Your brilliant son will show you a marvelous trick now.

Ta-da!

Uncle Dolphius, hold me tight!

Well, what did I tell ya?

Diggity-dolphin! What a punch, son.

Boy, I didn't even know you had it in you.

- But... - Hah! He's got a whole lot more in him, you know!

C'mon, stop it, Zeb. We gotta hurry.

We have no time for babbling. We need to rescue Mia!

Come on, Mia, a little more.

Hello.

And bye!

The arch of transformations! It will help me!

I will show you!

- Ladies... - Hm?

Yoo-hoo. If I were your size,

I would consider going on a low carb diet.

He's gonna make fish sticks out of us.

Uh, yeah.

Banzai!

Mia, are you hurt?

No.

Delphi? Is that you?

Well, yeah. It's me, just a bit bigger, that's all.

Hello, Mia. You're all grown up now.

Mr. Dolphius?

Hey-hey. And here am I.

- Zeb! - In the flesh!

Mia, we have to rush to help Alpha and Octavian.

Sure, just a moment.

I... I want to transform myself, too.

Get away from here, you nasty morays!

So, what? Are you satisfied? Or do you ask for more?

Hey, you, get away from my commander!

So, what will you say now, huh?

Huh? How did Delphi do that?

Oh, ho! This secret punch really works!

Dolphin guards, attack!

Retreat! Retreat!

Cowards!

It's a dangerous maneuver.

They can sneak up on us.

Doesn't matter. Victory is ours.

Attack!

Let 'em have it, so that they never come back!

Don't hurry now, Octavian.

What? Udo?

Of course it's me.

It was all planned like this from the start.

I knew you'd chase them and fall into my trap.

The tides have turned against you now, Octavian.

- Celine, did you get anything? - Of course I get it.

We've just been served to the sharks for dinner.

Holy calamaries! I'm going to be octopus soup.

That's right.

Sharks, attack him now!

Hah! Not so fast, you swimming seal burp!

And who are you?

I am the terror that flaps in the sea!

I am an angel fish from the underworld!

That wasn't in our contract!

Hey, there, Alpha.

Delphi, is that you?

This means your plan actually worked.

Good job, soldier, thanks for your help.

We would be clam chowder without you.

Yeah, we did it together. We won the battle.

Thanks for holding those morays up, Alpha.

Victory?

Victory!

Yes, my victory!

Congratulations, Delphi.

Everyone admitted you were right.

I always knew inside a dreamer's chest

beats the heart of a hero.

Thanks, Mia.

But don't you have a wedding to get ready for?

I guess.

I wanted to talk about that, by the way.

Before I swim down the aisle,

I just need to know something.

What "something"?

Oh, nothing.

What's wrong with you?

You weren't like this when you were trying to save me.

Yeah, well, it was a different situation back there.

You were in serious danger, and I...

I see. Well, then, I should swim.

Uh, yeah.

See ya.

- Mia! - Yes?!

- What? - N-nothing.

I wanted... to congratulate you.

Fool! Fool! Fool! Fool!

Why I am such a loser?

Delphi, don't be so hard on yourself.

Of course you're not a loser.

You are the dumbest dolphin there can be!

You've just lost the love of your life!

It's not too late to make up for it, son.

You can do it. Don't give up.

Just find her, and tell her what you've always wanted to say.

Don't you think it's impossible?

It's possible! It's all in your own fins.

Remember. Sometimes, Delphi,

even the wildest of dreams come true.

"Even the wildest of dreams."

Yeah, I like it.

We are gathered here today

to celebrate the wedding

of our mayor's stepdaughter, Mia,

and the leader of the Elite Dolphin Guard, Alpha.

Does anybody object against this marriage?

If so, say it now.

I do.

No, my dear.

The "I do's" should be said after the consecration.

- Wait... - No, no, no! I do object!

Now it's hardly time to object, dear.

- Now, can we continue? - Yes, I shall proceed.

Wait!

I'm-I'm not done yet!

You see, Father, I'm-I'm just not sure.

I mean, I just don't know. I mean...

What is it now, my dear? Spit it out.

- I... - I love you, Mia!

That's incredible!

I just needed to tell you how I felt

before it was too late.

I've loved you since the very first time I saw you.

I'll never be a macho guy like Alpha.

I'm not a warrior, I'm just a dreamer.

But all my wildest dreams are about you.

Mia, tell me, will you marry me?

Yes. I love you too, Delphi.

Alpha, hmm, you gotta do something!

I think you just lost a fiancée.

Octavian, it seems to me this plan about our marriage

was not right since the very beginning.

Dora...

I just wanna say...

You saved my life and...

Listen... let's get married.

I promise I'll be the best husband

you could ever find in the ocean.

I'll... marry you.

Ah... Oh, well... Then...

I have nothing more to do...

than to...

to decree a double wedding!

A double wedding, you say?

- Wait, a double wedding? - Double wedding?

Fine, then.

Just don't forget to double my payment for that.

By the power vested in me,

I now pronounce you husbands and wives.
