( chirping )

I'm sure glad you're in your Mag Knight Dad!

Me too, now help anchor me with these cables.

Once I measure the strength of the current

we can launch the remote mapping pingers.

These instruments will measure the volume of water

flowing from the melting ice shelf down into the open sea.

Dad...?

You're sure about this?

Yeah, I should be okay.

"Should" be okay.

Very reassuring.

Will.

You said coming here would be a nice holiday.

When does that start exactly?

( chuckle )

Well, you have to admit, Kaiko--

--the world's largest waterfall is an incredible view.

When you told me this was bigger than Niagara Falls,

I just couldn't imagine the world's biggest waterfall

being underwater.

Pretty awesome aye, Jeffery?

I can see why this place would get a mention

in the 'Chronicle of the Deep'.

A "Curtain of Water" and a "Great Tunnel".

C'mon - do you really think there's a tunnel down there?

I have a theory that the tunnel is hidden behind the waterfall.

I'll feel safer when we launch the "pingers"

and get back to the Aronnax.

The current's been measured and the information

has been downloaded to the pingers.

Okay Ant.

Deploying Remote mapping pingers.

If that tunnel is down there they'll find it.

Mom look out!

Whoaaaa!

Auuuggghhh!

( grunt )

Hold on!

( struggling )

( grunt )

I've got you Dad.

( struggling )

Grrrrrr!

Oh no!

Uhhhhh!

Whoaaaaaaa!

Whooooooooaaaaaaa!

My family are explorers.

We have been for generations.

While others look up to the stars...

...we know there are an infinite number of things

that shine in the darkness below.

There are things lurking in the seas

that long ago vanished into myth.

My family are explorers.

And we explore...

THE DEEP!

♪

Whooaoaaaaaa!

I can't pull out!

We've fallen a kilometer already!

What's that sound?

It's like sucking?!

( together ) Aaahhh!

Whhhooow.

Whhhaaaa.

( grunt )

( grunt )

Whoa huh.

Sorry, Mum!

( grunt )

Wooooaaaaa!

( grunts )

( grunts)

Whoa!

And the current just stops?

Why?

Ant? Kaiko?

I'm okay, but Mum took some big hits!

Kaiko? Kaiko!?

Are you okay?

Say something!

Ugh.

I want a better holiday.

( chuckles )

Okay.

( sigh )

Vitals seem okay.

How're you feeling?

Uh, kind of like I fell down the largest waterfall in the world

and...ugh, landed on rocks.

Dad!

Lemurian symbol alert!

Definitely Lemurian.

But this is different from the others we've seen.

You think it means "big tunnel ahead"?

Wait -

That's it!

But what does it mean?

You said you translated this.

Well - I translated "Great Tunnel"

and "Great Curtain of water",

and some kind of name --

I don't know, the name of a household pet?

Hmmm.

What?

Lemurian is hard - okay?

Now - priorities.

Let's figure out how to get you back to the Aronnax.

( sigh )

I might need a minute -

but seeing as how we're here,

maybe we should keep going?

No.

The tunnel can wait until we're in the Rover

and properly equipped to explore it.

Jeffrey's acting weird...

weirder than normal that is.

Jeffrey doesn't act weird.

Jeffrey?

Why are you acting weird?

The current's coming up again!

Grab hold of me.

( grunts )

( grunting and struggling )

Kaiko, take my hand, Now!!

( straining )

I Can't!

Reach!

Yes you can, try!

Come on, Mum!

Woah!!

I'll get her.

NO!

No!

WOAH!

( shouting ) Ant! Kaiko!

Ant!

Mum!

( grunt )

Mum! Thrusters.

Use your thrusters!

Whooa!

Noooo!

Dad!?

Ant!

Good.

Mum's gone further into the tunnel.

She didn't respond to my calls.

Kaiko can you read me?

Okay. Stay put.

But--

That's an order!

As soon as the current eases we'll come for you:

both of you.

Hope you're hearing this, Kaiko.

Hah!

Okay.

It feels like the current's easing up already.

Then we'll be with you soon.

Anything that'll identify your location?

And I've got isopods.

Big ones - just like...

no, too big for parasites.

Awwhh!

Anyone interested in how I'm doing?

Mum!

Kaiko?

Mum are you okay?

I...I must've passed out back there.

I'm a bit woozy.

Otherwise I couldn't be better.

Can you tell us where you are?

Well it's not any kind of holiday destination I'd choose.

No position data either.

Not surprising down here.

Alright.

Fontaine and I are coming in to find you both.

Stop!

( Both ) Nereus!?

What are you doing here?!

And what are you wearing?!

I was monitoring The Aronnax's location!

I was worried you might be exactly where you are.

Do not go further into that tunnel!

But Ant and Kaiko are in there!

Lost!

( grunt )

Then understand: this is no tunnel.

It's alive!

The tunnel's a...

creature?!

Wow!!

How can you possibly think this is cool?!

These walls are living flesh!

Yes.

Part of a Giant Sea-worm's digestive tract.

Awesome!

No, it isn't!

It is awesome - but not exactly safe.

It feeds off the waterfall.

That's what the current is -

the creature breathes in seawater

and sucks in food with every breath.

So we could rescue Mum now,

then find the other end of this thing,

and wait until Ant gets pooped out?

If I get turned into poop, make sure that Fontaine is

the one who has to catch me.

Na...I...I...I don't think you realize how serious this is.

The longer we're in here,

the more likely we'll wake the creature.

It's asleep?

If it was awake, we wouldn't be alive.

Then we'd better not waste any time.

Kaiko? Ant?

Don't go anywhere.

My feet are stuck in some goo.

I'll try to soften it up with my laser.

No!

Th-th-that could wake the creature.

Kaiko, wait until we get to you.

You need something to hold you

when the current comes up anyway,

that goo might be just the thing.

Roger that.

I've got those isopods, too.

( sighs ) Hope they're friendly.

Euch!

Well I got one that's SUPER friendly!

( grunts )

I can't get it off.

This guy's slimy, ugly,

and doesn't mix well with others.

Hey Fontaine!

I've finally found you a boyfriend.

Ugh.

This from a guy whose only friend is a fish!

Well that's strange, they just took off.

I've told you, you need to work on your social skills.

They're scurrying off here, too.

The creature's going to breathe again!

And I've got no way to anchor us against the current

without agitating it.

Quick, this way!

He knows a "way"?

Come on! Hurry!

( grunts )

( moans )

Wh...whoa!

Come on, Dad!

Up here!

Oh no!

AH!

Grab onto me with your cables!

( grunts )

Hang on, Jeffrey!

Jeffreeeeeeey!

How did you know this pocket was here?

It saved me once.

You've been here before?!

Years ago.

The Chronicle records that the hero, Aiolos

with a group of fellow Lemurians, found the tunnel...

...But they realized the tunnel was actually a "Monumential"

when they accidentally woke it

from its 10,000 year slumber.

Whoa!

Eeahh!

Jeffrey!

( grunts )

No!

"Monumential?"

So that's Lemurian for giant sea-worm?

No.

It refers to a whole class of creatures.

Roughly translated, it means "Mega-big".

Ahhh. Misread that.

I thought it was someone's name and uh...

possibly a pet.

Uh...right.

Only Aiolos survived, and honoured the others' sacrifice

by writing about it in the Chronicle.

It did include a warning.

The same warning he posted outside the tunnel.

That symbol was a warning?

Dad?

I'm pretty sure your Lemurian

isn't as good as you think it is.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

But I don't need Lemurian to get Kaiko back.

And that's what I'm doing.

AHHH!

Whaaa!

Ah...uh...oh!

Wh - Ahhhhh!

Huh?

Uh...heh heh.

Hang on mom and Jeffrey!

I'm coming.

The current's subsided.

Let's go find the others.

Leave Jeffrey alone!

Ant?

Mum!

Oh, glad you're here.

There's something wrong with my knight.

What?

My air scrubbers must've been damaged.

( grunts )

But that doesn't explain why my feet are starting

to warm up, a lot!

That goo is eating your suit!

Stand back!

( roars )

( chirps )

Oh! You can't stop.

( roars )

Is this the current starting again?

Worse.

The creature is stirring.

Our presence is upsetting its digestion.

If we wake it,

it'll eat even faster - and more!

( roars )

Okay, that softening it.

Help me out.

That stuff must be some kind of acid that breaks down food.

Jeffrey?

How did you--

Uh, now Jeffrey, so your home is destroyed;

we're trapped inside a creature that wants to digest us;

and Mum's air is running out...

there's absolutely no reason--

PANIC!

( grunts )

These things are trying to tear us apart!

These isopods live in the dark...

Mom!

Try your lights!

Copy!

Better save power, with your air scrubbers out,

you'll need it.

We should head back towards the tunnel mouth.

Okay, but wrestling those bugs

( gasps )

has chewed up more of my air.

Try not to talk, Mum.

Save your breath.

Jeffrey?

Where did Jeffrey go?!

Oh no.

The current's coming back.

Hurry mom, grab something!

Hang on!

And try not to bump into anything.

Whoa!

( screams )

On no!

Hang on Fontaine.

We're going after him.

( grunts )

( screams )

Dad, stay out of the acid!

Come on!!

( struggling groans )

( grunt )

Everyone, okay?

Dad! Mum's scrubbers aren't keeping up.

She's running low on air.

Her air is so low she'll never make it out

against the current.

I'm okay, but getting weaker.

Hang in there Kaiko.

Ah, is that something useful?

The pingers!

What about them?

If the Aronnax is still communicating with the pingers,

then we could communicate with the Aronnax.

We could use a remote control signal...

...to control the Rover!

And the Rover has air!

We'll be able to get Kaiko out of here!

It's all working.

Engines on.

Will, my suit won't last much longer.

Will the Rover make it in time?

It'll make it.

And thanks to the pingers,

it's got this tunnel's exact location.

Don't worry, Kaiko, you're going to get that holiday.

There you are Jeffery!

Where'd you go?

More bugs!

Bigger ones!

Kids keep the bugs away from your mother

while I steer the Rover.

Okay.

I need enough speed to break it clear of the waterfall

and get to the tunnel.

I'm in, should be alright!

Our lights have no effect on the isopods.

Ghh, that's impossible, it worked before!

Huuuh!

Ant!

Woooow!

Ughhh!

Whoa, whooaaa!

( struggling grunts )

Come on!

My brother's room is scarier than you!

( STRUGGLING )

MUM!

UGGGHH!

Mum!

We need to hurry before she loses consciousness.

( grunt )

Whoooaa!

I must control the rover.

The creature it's,

it's waking it up.

Jeffery?

Hey the isopods are leaving.

I've regained control of the rover.

Jeffery?

Isopods?

That's it!

The isopods go into hiding when the creature is disturbed.

Quick, we're going to have to fill mom's knight with water.

What?!

Only way to equalize pressure

so mom can get out of it.

I'm ready, fill it.

Time to go everyone.

What are you doing?

Mom's gonna need help once she's in the rover.

You'll need this rebreather as soon as you eject

from the knight.

( grunt )

Do it now!

I've got you Kaiko,

we'll be out of here soon.

Ant, you'll need to move fast.

( gasp )

Mum?

Ahh, Should i give mom mouth to mouth?

( gasp )

( coughing )

( sigh )

Nice work Ant.

The thought of mouth to mouth from you

scared mom back to life!

Ant - get ready to roll.

Gotta love the Mag Knight!

Okay, get us out of here!

Er, Will?

Don't worry, Nereus.

We haven't forgotten you.

Whoa, whoa!

Crude - but very effective.

( worried ) Ah!

Has anyone seen Jeffrey?

Don't worry, Ant.

I've taken care of Jeffrey!

Just go!

Whooaaaa!

Woooaaa!

Ant!

Huh?

( grunt )

Agghhh!

Ohhhhhh!

Got ya!

There's the entrance.

It's closing!

( struggling grunts )

Oh no!

Don't worry, I have a plan!

Noooo!

( straining )

( roaring )

What's that noise??

We can't stay around to find out!

You'll need to go flat out to get through to the other side

of the waterfall!

What about you?

Don't argue.

Goooo!

Aaaaahhhh!

Huh?

Come on Dad!

Oh, Will.

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!

Will!

( grunt )

What happened?

Um... I think I was just burped out.

( laughing )

...I don't know if you should see this Jeffrey

but those pingers mapped the entire of the giant sea-worm.

What's that tiny dot?

That 'tiny dot' is the entire Aronnax.

Ha ha!

We didn't wake our friend -

but maybe we gave it a bit of indigestion.

( sniffing )

( sigh )

Two showers and I still smell like regurgitated seafood.

Eww!

I think it's time I gave you some lessons

in ancient Lemurian!

Could you say what the difference is

between household pets and terrifying sea monsters?

That would be appreciated!

Nereus - the Lemurians called creatures like this

'Monumentials'?

That's right.

The Chronicle tells us there are still many different kinds

of Monumentials out there in the oceans.

Be ready.

I'm sure you'll soon find even more.

But not before my holiday!

Are all the Monumentials this big?

No, no!

Most of them are bigger.
