[groans]

This coral looks exactly the same as it looked two years ago!

You're totally sure of that, Ant?

I have a photographic memory for coral.

Hah! You can't even remember my birthday.

Easy, it's...

You're not coral.

Kaiko on radio: Kids? How are we doing out there?

Almost done, Mom.

Jeffrey!

I know you're trying to help...

and you know you're very photogenic,

but I've got a job to do.

[beep]

Fontaine!

Stop trying to distract me.

I'm trying to concentrate.

Male: I'll make it quick then.

[gasps] Alpheus?

I'm flattered. You recognise my voice.

I figured it was either you

or that talking warthog on the nature channel.

You paint a lovely picture.

But I'm looking at a better one.

I'm in a deep, deep trench here, Ant

and I've just found what Nereus said I'd never find.

Nereus?

Yes. I am going to control the Monumentials, Ant!

I am going to rule!

Because I'm the one who just... discovered... Lemuria.

[gasps]

What?

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 the Nektons. And we explore... THE DEEP!

♪♪

[growl]

♪♪

Fontaine: Our radios have a range of fifty miles, tops.

So the trench has to be in that radius.

Trenches, trenches.

Too many options.

The Emphemychron doesn't show any symbols

that line up with any trenches.

Our family's search for Lemuria has been going for generations.

Alpheus could destroy all of that in an instant.

[sigh]

The Chronicle of the Deep may have a clue.

ARIA? My destiny awaits. I'm gonna open the gates!

Uh... what's this?

Is this a lock?

ARIA: Scanning.

It is a lock.

And it seems that this is the key.

The Ephemychron.

I can't calculate a direction without triangulation.

But the signal was very clear.

So he's well within range.

So Lemuria must be close!

Eleven trenches within radio range!

We can't search them all.

So... if Alpheus has discovered Lemuria,

he'll get his hands on the device

that controls the Monumentials?

He wouldn't hesitate to wake them from their slumber.

Great. Huge creatures waking up

creating chaos all over the world.

Will: Nereus, how exactly do you know Alpheus?

He... uh, Alpheus was the first person I thought...

might be 'the chosen one'.

What? Like me? But...

I'm nothing like him!

Especially that hair.

Why have you never told us this?

It's... more complicated than you realise.

This control device in Lemuria,

what does it look like?

I... know not.

Only that it was crafted by Zephyrus,

master artisan for Doris, the Queen.

You know who made it six thousand years ago

but not what it is?

Uh... correct.

But, thankfully, neither does Alpheus.

And it can control them all?

Even The Terror?

Yes. Even the very worst of them.

We must stop my...

former protege.

[beeping]

Something's approaching!

[clattering]

Quick, get to the bridge!

[crash]

Whoa!

♪♪

[panting]

[gasps]

Impossible!

Kaiko can you close the shields from out here?

Working on it!

They're not responding.

♪♪

[chuckles]

Huh?

I'll take the Ephemychron.

Thank you.

NO!

Kaiko, he's getting away.

The shields!

Come on! Come on!

[slam]

Got it!

No!

Alpheus!

Ant!

[splash]

Ant! Wait!

Come on!

Will: He's moving too fast.

We'll never catch Alpheus in our knights.

No. But Ant might in the Shadow Knight.

♪♪

ARIA: Sensors detecting Antaeus Nekton.

[grunts]

[grunt]

ARIA! Get rid of him!

[zapping]

Oh, no!

AH!

I've lost control of the Shadow Knight!

Can anyone hear me?

Come on! Come on! Please!

Hello?

Anyone?

Propulsion out.

Prospects... kinda bleak.

Oh no!

AHHHHHH!

[grunt]

Will: Let's see if we can improve those prospects.

Replacing the power cells.

[beep]

Whoa! That feels better.

We could have lost you, Ant.

And we have lost Alpheus.

Unless someone fiddled with his thrusters

and put a tracker on his sub.

♪♪

ARIA: Our maximum speed has been compromised

by the actions of Antaeus Nekton.

Irritating.

The phrase "it could have been worse" comes to mind.

[groans]

♪♪

♪♪

Kaiko? We're maintaining pace with him.

He's probably not in a hurry because he thinks he lost you.

Wait... he's slowing down even more.

The signal's gone!

Have we lost him?

No. There's a trench where his signal disappeared!

[gasps]

Before we can reactivate the controls, I'll need to...

Nereus?

I started this. I need to fix it.

Fontaine: There's a trench just ahead!

♪ [angelic chorus] ♪

Wow!

The gates of Lemuria!

Unbelievable.

It's...

huge!

Will: After all this time.

What my parents...

what my grandparents would have given to see this!

Every dream they ever had...

just came true.

Look!

Ant: Alpheus!

Let's go.

Fontaine: Kill propulsion.

We should be able to approach undetected.

♪♪

ARIA: Hello, Fontaine.

OK, so we were detected.

ARIA, we want the Ephemychron back.

ARIA: The Ephemychron is in use.

Alpheus.

ARIA, keep them busy.

Will: Kids? GET CLEAR OF THE WINDOW!

[zap]

Agh! [clunk]

ARIA's using an electro-magnet.

[grunts]

I'm OK.

I'm free!

Fontaine: I'm stuck!

Ant? Go!

What about you?

The Mag Knight's carbon fiber; it won't affect me.

I'll free Fontaine; you stop Alpheus.

♪♪

That doesn't belong to you.

You should be helping me, Ant.

Behind these gates is Lemuria

and the secret to controlling the Monumentials.

Think of the good we could do with that power, Ant.

With the Monumentials in my control,

I could stop corrupt governments!

I could stops wars!

By using Leviathans of the sea to threaten people?

World peace, Ant.

Think about it.

With a Monumential on their doorstep,

people would have to listen.

I'd be a hero!

Your idea of a hero sounds a lot like a bigger bully.

I trust you, Ant.

We have a bond.

Really? Not feeling it myself.

We're cousins.

From two different branches of the Royal Family of Lemuria.

That's pretty crazy. Even for you.

Accept it, Ant.

Only the youngest in each family line can use the Ephemychron.

Gah!

Whoa!

It's my time, Ant.

No!

[grinding]

Behold!

Lemuria!

Could it really be?

Oh, my...

[low rumble]

What's that sound?

That's not a sound ancient cities make.

[gasps]

It's The Terror!

Alpheus, that's not Lemuria.

You've woken the Kraken!

[roar]

[Ant yells]

♪♪

Alpheus! Use the Ephemychron!

Close the gates!

What's happening?

Why won't it close?

Nothing can stop it now.

We're doomed.

ARIA! Start the engines!

Move away from here now!

No! What are you doing?

WHOA!

Oh, no.

Duck!

[Fontaine yells]

I'm taking the Ephemychron and I'm finding Lemuria.

Then, I'll find a way to make the Kraken mine.

Alpheus! Come back!

Alpheus, no! Bring it back!

[growl]

AHHHHH!

Nereus!

Stay on Alpheus.

Get the Ephemychron.

I'm on it.

We're coming, Nereus.

Rebreather goes on the head and... oh!

AHHHHH!

Keep going, ARIA!

Huh?

Aarggh!

No!

Gahh!

Oh, how I've wanted to do that!

We have to close those gates!

We can't let that thing be unleashed on the world!

You can't! You'll lose the Ephemychron.

Childish optimism won't cut it this time, Ant!

Childish optimism is all I've got.

[grunt]

OK, that's impressive.

ARIA: Alpheus, we must get clear.

Whoa!

You're all doomed!

It's opening!

No. I need them to move in the opposite direction.

That's it, Antaeus.

Now close it.

[roar]

Oh, this is going to hurt, isn't it.

AHHHHH!

Nereus!

[moans]

[crashing]

Agh!

Ant!

I'm OK.

Go help Nereus; we can handle the gate.

Oh, no, it's not working!

If we don't close the gates soon

[grunts]

the Kraken will break them wide open!

Hurry! How do we close it?

No idea.

Nereus, are you OK?

Go back...

only you can work the gates.

Help me ... get you into the Knight.

It'll protect you.

No! The world needs you.

I'll get to the world when you're safely inside.

You are... very stubborn.

Thank you.

I come from a long line of 'stubborn'.

I'm all out of ideas.

We need Ant.

[sighs]

There has to be a way.

Dad, watch out!

[frightened yells]

Kaiko: Will? Kids?

Getting in position for extraction.

The Knight will keep you safe.

You're definitely not like Alpheus, Ant.

I never thought I was.

Whoa!

I've tried. It didn't work.

You're not alone, Ant.

Jeffrey?

You came out here to face the Kraken with me?

Agh!

We're all with you, Ant.

Don't give up, son.

Faster ARIA, move!

Monitored radio transmissions confirm Antaeus Nekton

has succeeded in closing the gates.

He what?

[scoffs]

I've seen the Kraken.

And lived.

Can you imagine controlling that?

Once I locate the real Lemuria,

I'll find the device to control all the Monumentials...

the Kraken included!

But you require the Ephemychron to open the gates.

You're so wrong, ARIA.

Under my control,

the other Monumentials will tear the gates down!

And the world will be mine.

Final analysis complete.

What is it?

He's braver than you.

Nereus: Alpheus has never seen this,

but I recognized the symbol immediately.

The scepter of Doris!

Last queen of Lemuria.

Will: So the sceptre is the device

that will control the Monumentials.

Yes! I'm sure of it.

Nereus? Alpheus said I was - we were - descended from royalty.

[chuckle] Yes!

I don't feel very royal.

Well, the task ahead does not need you to be royal.

It needs you to be... together.

♪♪

Yes, yes. All of you.

And all we have to do is find Lemuria before Alpheus does.

Will: It's out there.

Somewhere in the sea.

Fontaine: Great!

So, we just have to continue exploring the endless ocean,

all while trying not wake giant monsters.

Are you up for it?

Of course I'm up for it.

Then let's go find Lemuria!
