He leads the gang to the pyramids of the ancient shadowfish, to make sure that Captain Dark Shell hasn't broken out of the Shadow Dimension somehow. However, when they arrive, they find out that not only has the ancient captain escaped from his prison, but he also manages to trap the gang in the Shadow Dimension so that he can go conquer the multi-verse!

Story
Back where we last saw the gang... Everyone gasps in surprise. Before Captain Red Shell can answer, everyone sees the gemstones coming, along with the rest of the gang.
 * Blue Ocean: What's going on!?
 * Blade: It's the end of the world!
 * Boom: Don't be silly Blade! It can't be the end of the world.
 * Blade: Do you have a better idea?
 * Boom: Uh... no... But yours doesn't make any sense.
 * Bonk Choy: So, it has come to this...
 * Starcade: It probably has to be one of Dr. Zack's machines. When was the last time we've seen black crystals growing from the ground?
 * Red Fork: Grim Matchstick said he saw black crystals grow on Inkwell Isle as well.
 * Starcade: Okay? I could've sworn that I know someone with that name.
 * Blue Ocean: My devices sense a large amount of dark energy coming from them.
 * Akasha: I don't know why, but I feel that I've seen such dark energy before. Though it could've been that of my father's.
 * Captain Red Shell: I think I know what this means.
 * Blue Ocean: What?
 * Captain Red Shell: He's back.
 * Tommy: Wait, who's back?
 * Jelo: Hey, gang.
 * Star: *waving frantically* Hiii~!
 * Marco: 'Sup! What's going on?
 * Toby Topaz: Wait, who's back?
 * Gary Garnet: Wait a minute, what's all these black crystals? And did they come out from the ground?
 * Amelia Amethyst: What is going on?
 * Red Ruby: I'll tell you what's going on! *points to Captain Red Shell* We're going to put an end to that traitor once and for all!
 * Sean Sapphire: What?!
 * Red Fork: *lifts Red Ruby with his magic* Hold it right there, Red. We already solved everything. It was just a big misunderstanding.
 * Red Ruby: *to Red Fork* Big misunderstanding, eh? Yeah, right. That happened the last time with Starcade. You expect me to believe that this time?
 * Diana Diamond: Okay, calm down there...
 * Blue Ocean: Yeah, but we have greater things to worry about now.
 * Rebecca: Like what?
 * Blue Ocean: The earthquake?
 * Blast: The black crystals?
 * Alice: And the fact that they're emitting dark energy.
 * Captain Red Shell: This is bad news for sure.
 * Star: Uh....I'm confused.
 * Lisa: Excuse me, but can you shed some light on the situation? Perhaps give us some context on the matter?
 * Akasha: I'm still getting rather familiar vibes from such dark energy. What if my dad's back? That would be the absolute worst...
 * Lincoln: Your dad?
 * Akasha: Shogo the Warlord.

''Coconut Crab leaves to prepare the ship. Meanwhile, the gang sees Jenny, Richard and many others coming as well, concerned about the earthquake and the mysterious black crystals.'' The Gang then hears a voice that cuts through their chatter. Asher rolls his eyes, and points to Tartar. Jenny gets in between them and pushes Asher aside. Asher scowls, and backs off. ''The gang goes to the coast as quick as they can, but on the way, they notice more black crystals spawning from the earth as they go, and another earthquake occurs. The citizens of Echo Creek are scared and running around in panic.'' The gang arrives at the coast, where Coconut Crab has prepared Captain Red Shell's ship. ''Once everyone in the gang is aboard Captain Red Shell's ship, the crab captain gives the order to Coconut Crab to set sail. The ship moves away from the coast and begins its way to the old pyramids of the ancient shadowfish.'' ''Suddenly, an earthquake happens again. This time, the seismic activity causes the ship to shake in the water, as the gang sees large waves form due to the earthquake.'' Captain Red Shell grabs the steering wheel, and struggles to control the ship, that is currently being shaked from side to side by the large waves. While the ship is being shaked by the waves, the gang looks up ahead, and sees a huge wave being formed. Jaiden attempts to freeze the huge wave, but fails. The three ice ninjas try to freeze the huge wave, and together, they are able to do it. ''The waves continue to move the ship side to side, but Captain Red Shell struggles at the steering wheel to keep the ship on track. Soon, the earthquake ends, and the water begins to calm down.'' ''The ship continues on its way. The ship now reaches an antarctic region with several icebergs floating in the water.'' ''Red Ruby throws his explosives at the icebergs. The icebergs blow up, letting the ship pass without any trouble.'' ''Gary Guppy tosses bombs at the icebergs, blowing them up too. Soon, Red Ruby and Gary Guppy have cleared the way for the ship to continue.'' However, the gang sees an iceberg approach them, with several penguins on it, including one that Captain Red Shell and Akasha recognize immediately. ''The penguins hop onto the ship. Gary Guppy, Starry and Blowy hide from the penguins, while Captain Red Shell grabs his sword, and Coconut Crab takes out his spear.'' Lincoln attempts to lift Red Fork back on the ship. Akasha releases a volley of flames, melting the ice on the deck and burning Peter the Penguin. Peter Penguin runs around yelling, and finally jumps into the water to put off the flames. ''Peter Penguin jumps out of the water, and lands on the ship. He puts on an ice crown, and takes out a huge hammer.'' Peter the Penguin spins the hammer around, hitting several members of the gang at once. ''Peter the Penguin charges towards Captain Red Shell, but Captain Red Shell jumps to avoid the attack. Captain Red Shell then slashes his sword at Peter the Penguin. Peter the Penguin gets up and spins around with his hammer, hitting Captain Red Shell in the process.'' ''Red Fork teleports to above Peter the Penguin, and attempts smashing him. This causes heavy damage on the flightless bird, but Peter the Penguin soon reacts by pushing Red Fork off of him and slamming him with his hammer.'' ''Akasha levitates the hammer out of Peter the Penguin's wings and high enough so that Peter the Penguin is unable to grab it back. Peter Penguin then whistles. Several penguins come out of the water, and tackle Akasha, making her drop the hammer, allowing Peter the Penguin to grab it back.'' ''Peter the Penguin charges towards Akasha to slam her with his hammer. However, Captain Red Shell intercepts Peter the Penguin and slashes him with his sword.'' ''Peter the Penguin continuously slams Captain Red Shell with his hammer. Red Fork then sees a chest in Captain Red Shell's ship, and looks inside it. He finds a sword, a wheel and a hammer.'' ''Peter the Penguin runs towards Red Fork to slam him with his hammer. Red Fork jumps to dodge Peter the Penguin's attack, and then hits him with the hammer once.'' Both of them continue to slam each other with their hammers, until Peter the Penguin hits Red Fork with a powerful hammer slam, making him drop the hammer. Akasha flies towards Peter the Penguin before punching him, sending him flying out of the ship and into the water again. Akasha flies around the ship at a fast speed, clearing the deck of the remaining penguins and sending them flying into the water. ''The ship continues moving on. After a couple of hours more of travel, the ship finally arrives at the location where the pyramids of the ancient shadowfish are.'' The gang dives underwater and swims to the pyramids of the ancient shadowfish. ''The gang swims as quickly as they can to the largest pyramid. When they enter the pyramid, they find that it's completely dark inside it.'' ''The gang advances towards the center of the pyramid, where the amulet is. However, on the way, Tommy accidentally steps a tile, triggering a trap. Suddenly several bows appear in the walls, and begin to fire arrows.'' ''Blue Ocean accidentally leans on a tile in the wall, activating yet another trap. This time, a huge boulder is rolling towards them.'' ''The gang swims as fast as they can to avoid the boulder that's coming towards them. They continue to swim through the hallway, until they see a door in the wall.'' The gang swims into the door. ''The gang finds themselves now in the central chamber of the pyramid. However, Akasha soon notices that the Amulet of the Dark Seas isn't where it should be.'' ''Suddenly, the gang is hit by a powerful shadow wave. After this, the gang watches Captain Dark Shell show up in the room.'' Captain Dark Shell uses his sword to shoot a powerful shadow wave at Sean, before slashing him repeatedly until he's unconscious. Captain Dark Shell teleports to behind Akasha, and delivers powerful slashes at her, leaving her very weak. ''Captain Red Shell tries to confront Captain Dark Shell, but Captain Dark Shell teleports around Captain Red Shell, attacking him quickly without giving him a single chance to retaliate. Soon Captain Red Shell is left just as weak as Akasha.'' ''Akasha teleports to behind Captain Dark Shell, despite being weaker than before, before firing shadow blasts at him quickly while teleporting quickly to dodge Captain Dark Shell's attacks. Captain Dark Shell deflects the shadow blasts with his sword.'' ''Captain Dark Shell waves his sword around in a circular movement. Suddenly, the water in the room begins to spin around as if this was a whirlpool, causing the gang to spin around with the water.'' ''Red Fork tries to shoot magic blasts at Captain Dark Shell, but is unable to aim correctly due to being pulled around with the water just like the rest of the gang. Captain Dark Shell makes the spinning motion stop.'' ''Ace shoots several shadow blasts at Captain Dark Shell, but the crsutacean teleports to behind Ace, and slashes at him with his sword. Ace takes damage, and turns around, only to be blown into a wall by a might shadow wave.'' ''Blast, Electra, Alice, Boom and Blade attack Captain Dark Shell at the same time, but this turns out to be useless, since Captain Dark Shell teleports out of the way, and then uses a shadow art to levitate the five teenagers, and toss them into a wall. The toss was so strong that the five teens not only hit the wall, but go through it, leaving a hole in the wall, and the five teens unconscious.'' ''Richard and his friends attack Captain Dark Shell together, only to face a quick defeat just like the previous group. They are left unconscious after Captain Dark Shell slashed them heavily with his sword.'' ''Kyoji fires a powerful ice wave from his sword at Captain Dark Shell, Takeshi fires lightning bolts at Captain Dark Shell and Sasuke tosses water bombs at Captain Dark Shell. Captain Dark Shell simply teleports away from the attacks, and reappears above the three elemental ninjas, delivering quick sword slashes, and shadow waves, managing to defeat the three elemental ninjas.'' ''Red Fork charges towards Captain Dark Shell to perform a ramming attack. However, before Red Fork can even get close to the shady crustacean, Captain Dark Shell sues a shadow art to levitate Red Fork, and toss him into Starcade, Blue Ocean and Green Shadow, leaving them defeated as well.'' ''Jaiden, Cypher-Den and Rebecca do a three elemental combo. However, Captain Dark Shell then takes out an object that he had been hiding with him... The Amulet of the Dark Seas!'' ''Captain Dark Shell uses the Amulet of the Dark Seas to counter the three elemental combo. He then teleports to where the three girls are, and unleashed a shadow explosion around him, defeating the three elemental ninjas.'' Captain Dark Shell slashes at the two warriors, leaving Captain Red Shell unconscious, while Ace was able to defend himself with his shield. ''Captain Dark Shell and Ace fight each other, but Captain Dark Shell obviously has the upper hand. As Ace gets weaker, the few members of the gang that are left watch in horror. Ace tries teleporting to behind Captain Dark Shell to surprise him with a shadow blast, but Captain Dark Shell teleports away before Ace can even do the attack.'' ''Captain Dark Shell slashes at Ace several times, while Ace keeps up his Ace Shield to protect himself. After the battle continues on, Captain Dark Shell has Ace cornered.'' ''Captain Dark Shell slashes repeatedly at Ace, until one of his slashes causes Ace to drop the shield, leaving him defenseless. The gang gasps.'' ''Captain Dark Shell stabs Ace with the sword, causing him to fall unconscious. The remaining members of the gang gasp in horror as they see Ace, one of their strongest allies, fall unconscious to Captain Dark Shell's sword. Captain Dark Shell then pulls the sword back out, and stares at the gang, intimidating the few members that are left.'' ''Captain Dark Shell takes out the Amulet of the Dark Seas, and places it on his sword. Suddenly, the amulet and the sword begin to glow, causing a dark, dimensional portal to appear. The portal begins to suck in all the members of the gang, both conscious and unconscious.'' ''Despite how much they try, the gang is unable to escape the portal, and they are all sucked into the portal. Captain Dark Shell then lookes into the portal, ready to say some last words to the gang.'' ''Captain Dark Shell now takes the amulet off of his sword, causing the portal to disappear, thus closing connection between the two dimensions, and leaving the gang sealed in the dark and unsettling lands of the Shadow Dimension. The gang finds themselves now trapped in a dark world that seems taken out of a horror movie.''
 * Captain Red Shell: Yes, Shogo is a dangerous shadow threat, but this isn't his doing. These crystals... I've only seen them once, and that's in the ancient scrolls of the shadowfish.
 * Electra: The shadowfish!?
 * Boom: That only means... that the one behind this is...
 * Captain Red Shell: Captain Dark Shell.
 * Jelo: Captain Dark Shell....? Excuse me, but I've been travelling around the world battling threats outside Echo Creek. I don't get anything you say!￼
 * Marco: As for me and Star, we've been going on adventures across other dimensions.
 * Starcade: I've been texting to you about our adventures. Didn't you read them?
 * Jelo: Poor signal. Airplane mode. Being busy. These three explain everything. So far, I've only read about Opposite Blast and his gang becoming good.
 * Starcade: That's pretty sad, dude.
 * Gerald: Well, now that I've read all of them just about now, I'm up to date with just about everything! In addition, I'm also kinda disappointed with Red Ruby now.
 * Red Ruby: Excuse me?!
 * Boom: You heard correctly. I'd be disappointed too to have a friend like you if I was Jelo.
 * Red Ruby: I'd be more than disappointed to have a ex-villain like you as a friend!
 * Akasha: Captain Dark Shell again? Who even released him from the Shadow Dimension?
 * Captain Red Shell: I don't know, but I do know what we need to do.
 * Red Fork: What is it?
 * Captain Red Shell: We'll need to travel to the pyramids of the ancient shadowfish. There we'll be able to find out what happened, and we'll return Captain Dark Shell to the Shadow Dimension before he causes any damage. We must hurry though, or else he'll conquer the entire world, just as he tried to do in the past.
 * Akasha: Just like my father would. Yeah, I won't let that crab do that.
 * Green Shadow: Where's the pyramids?
 * Akasha: If only I can recall...*thinks hard but is unable to remember where*...darn, I forgot! Captain Red Shell, do you remember where they are?
 * Captain Red Shell: Certainly. Coconut Crab, prepare the ship. We're heading to the ancient pyramids of the shadowfish.
 * Coconut Crab: Aye aye, captain!
 * Richard: What's with the crystals and the earthquake?
 * Bonk Choy: Hey, it's Richard Melon!
 * Akasha: What are you doing here, Richard? Captain Dark Shell is back, get out while you still can!
 * Richard: No, I cannot. I've gotta help you guys. No matter how much of a threat this Captain Dark Shell guy is, I have to.
 * Akasha: Okay, but tell me something: Do you even know who Captain Dark Shell is?
 * Richard: To be honest, not really. Can you tell me more?
 * Akasha: Certainly. Captain Dark Shell is one of the most powerful shadow ninjas there is. He looks a little like Captain Red Shell if I do recall correctly. He was sealed away by the ancient shadowfish into the Shadow Dimension due to attempting to conquer the entire world by himself. Captain Dark Shell is basically similar to my father, but only a crab. Captain Red Shell and I encountered him once and I never forgot how much that shadow crab had hurt him in many ways. So yes, he's too dangerous for the likes of you and your friends.
 * Richard: Okay. But hey, we still have a chance of succeeding! Even if he's that dangerous.
 * Kernely: I honestly agree with you, Rick.
 * Akasha: This is nothing to say "Okay" about! You'll know how dangerous he is once you meet him. Trust me, I've fought him before.
 * Richard: Fine.
 * Jenny: I rounded up all of my allies, and here to say- what the heck is going on here?
 * Nebula: I've never seen crystals like this before... I'm kinda concerned...
 * Kyoji: Long story short, Captain Dark Shell did this. He's basically one of the most powerful shadow ninjas who plans to conquer the entire world.
 * Asher: What's the cause for worry? It's probably just some funky phenomenon....
 * Jack: I'm not sure.... I'm thinking there's a ringleader to this all.
 * Kimbery: You don't think it could be....
 * Galaximus: Before you point fingers, I have done nothing wrong! TARTAR! Elaborate!
 * Commander Tartar: My databases have been picking up nothing but blanks on this whole [SLANG_NOT_FOUND]. But I assure you, Sheila has done no such deeds.
 * Rose: But- if you did not do it.... who did?
 * Tartar: ME?!
 * Asher: It who declared it, dealt it.
 * Tartar: You're gonna be dealing with a funeral in a minute....
 * Asher: What was that?! *He gets it Tartar's face.* Say that again, you outdated piece of....
 * Jenny: Easy, easy! We don't need any more conflict on top of our current problem!
 * Starcade: That was weird.
 * Richard: I've honestly gotta agree with you, Starcade.
 * Green Shadow: If we're done with pointless arguing, we can move on to fight Captain Dark Shell now.
 * Galaximus: That low life?
 * Jenny: Huh... Why is he doing this?
 * Akasha: I told you, he wants to conquer the world.
 * Green Shadow: So, we have to get going!
 * Captain Red Shell: Follow me to the coast. Coconut Crab will have the ship ready for us to go and stop Captain Dark Shell.
 * Alice: Hopefully it won't be too late.
 * Akasha: There's no such thing as "too late"! We will defeat Captain Dark Shell!
 * Bonk Choy: But...
 * Kyoji: Akasha has a point there.
 * Jelo: True. It's never too late to save the world.
 * Bonk Choy: I'm still scared though.
 * Toby Topaz: Me too...
 * Red Ruby: Don't be such cowards! We gotta get going!
 * Sean Sapphire: So, what are we waiting for? Let's head to the coast!
 * Jenny: Yeah!
 * Jelo: Let's go.
 * Tommy: Whoa... the earth is shaking even more!
 * Marco: Why's everyone running scared?
 * Lisa: According to my calculations, the seismic activity is increasing exponentially.
 * Blue Ocean: That's not good.
 * Blast: What does that mean in english?
 * Alice: It means that the earthquakes are getting stronger and are happening more frequently.
 * Captain Red Shell: Hence why we must hurry.
 * Jenny: Wait, you're saying that this crab captain can cause earthquakes?
 * Captain Red Shell: Yes.
 * Blue Ocean: And here I thought the only one that could cause earthquakes was Red Fork's weight. *laughs at his own joke, only to realize that no one is laughing* Tough crowd...
 * Bonk Choy: Yeah, not exactly that funny...
 * Captain Red Shell: This is no time for comedy Blue Ocean. If Captain Dark Shell is free from the Shadow Dimension, the world is in great danger.
 * Jelo: So, is this Captain Dark Shell really that powerful?
 * Captain Red Shell: Yes. Everything is recorded in the scrolls from the ancient shadowfish. Thousands of years ago, Captain Dark Shell was being trained as a shadow ninja. He excelled in his training, and knew that he was meant for big things. The only problem is that no one ever realized how dangerous Captain Dark Shell was becoming. One day, when the Shadow Sensei refused to give him access to the greatest secrets of the shadow arts, Captain Dark Shell claimed that he would get them himself. He challenged the Shadow Sensei, but ultimately was defeated, and humilliated in front of his peers. Captain Dark Shell, furious, stole the secrets from the Shadow Sensei one night, and with his newfound power, become one of the most dangerous shadow ninjas to ever exist.
 * Lemon Glass: Oh my...
 * Captain Red Shell: He had already been trained in the Crab Empire, and used his power to steal treasures from ancient underwater civilizations. He attacked other dojos, trying to seize their secrets as well. He never got enough knowledge to become a certified ninja in any other element, but along with his travels across the world, he got enough power and skill to become a threat to the world. He attempted to take over the entire world. The Shadow Sensei and the other shadow ninjas knew Captain Dark Shell had to be stopped. Luckily, there was one ancient artifact that Captain Dark Shell never took control of: The Amulet of the Dark Seas. It's an ancient artifact that was guarded by the civilization of the ancient shadowfish. Using the power of that amulet, the shadow ninjas were able to seal Captain Dark Shell off into the Shadow Dimension, with no way to return.
 * Jaiden: If that's the case, then how could he have escaped?
 * Captain Red Shell: Well, you see, the Amulet of the Dark Seas is kept in the largest pyramid of the now extinct civilization of the shadowfish. As long as it is kept in place, Captain Dark Shell will be trapped int he Shadow Dimension with no way to escape. However, a while ago, the Amulet of the Dark Seas was removed from its location.
 * Starry: Yeah, I remember that. *looks at Akasha*
 * Akasha: What?
 * Captain Red Shell: What matters it that when the amulet was moved, that could've interrupted the flow of dark energy inside it. We eventually managed to put it back into place, sending the evil crustacean back to the Shadow Dimension, but that short interruption in the flow of dark energy could've been enough to weaken the spell. With the spell weakened, Captain Dark Shell might have found some way to connect to our dimension. In any case, we must get to the bottom of the problem, and solve it quickly.
 * Akasha: That's right. And it appears things are getting worse and worse as his presence remains.
 * Takeshi: So who is responsible for moving the Amulet of the Dark Seas out of its place again?
 * Akasha: Probably Discord. Or Storm Cloud. It could be anyone, brother! In that case, we have to find that shadow crab now!
 * Captain Red Shell: Well, our ship is ready.
 * Coconut Crab: All aboard!
 * Jelo: Well, there's no time to lose. Let's go stop Captain Dark Shell!
 * Nebula: So, we're going to the pyramids of the shadowfish, if I understood correctly?
 * Captain Red Shell: Exactly.
 * Red Fork: And then we're going to show that shadow crab who's boss!
 * Richard: Yeah!
 * Captain Red Shell: Well, he's much tougher than you think. In fact, Akasha and I couldn't defeat him. The only way we stopped him was sealing him into the Shadow Dimension.
 * Jenny: But that was with only you two to fight him, right?
 * Akasha: Yes. Needless to say, it has been one of our toughest fights.
 * Jaiden: Jenny has a point. I'm sure that if we all work together, we'll have a much better chance of defeating him.
 * Blowy: Hopefully. That evil captain is very scary.
 * Toby Topaz: Yeah...
 * Green Shadow: However it has to happen, we can defeat Captain Dark Shell together! Or at the very least seal him in the Shadow Dimension again.
 * Red Ruby: If we're done talking, can we set sail now?
 * Captain Red Shell: We're at it.
 * Sean Sapphire: This brings back so many memories, like our constant battles with Captain Blowhole and his crew, and that one time Akasha betrayed us. Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since my last sea adventure on a ship.
 * Diana Diamond: Except the fact that Akasha isn't going to betray us this time.
 * Sean Sapphire: I know that. I still can't help but feel skeptical after thinking about it.
 * Toby Topaz: At least I feel more comfortable going to the pyramids this time, now that we have more friends with us.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Yeah, the more the merrier!
 * Blowy: Agreed.
 * Jaiden: Yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
 * Red Ruby: You just had to ask, didn't you?
 * Tommy: Aah!
 * Alice: The earthquake is causing tsunami waves!
 * Star: Yikes!
 * Blowy: This is it, we're gonna die!
 * Captain Red Shell: Not yet, sailor. Stand tall and be brave! We'll make it through any storm!
 * Blue Ocean: Technically, it's a tsunami caused by an earthquake.
 * Bonk Choy: Are you talking about the Ancient God-Element guys or...?
 * Starcade: I'm pretty sure he isn't.
 * Captain Red Shell: The point is still the same!
 * Marco: I don't really feel too good.... *about to throw up*
 * Bonk Choy: Does this ship have buckets or something? *pukes into the ocean*
 * Lincoln: Giant wave ahead!
 * Luan: Maybe it just wants to wave hello?
 * Marco: Too soon!
 * CypherDen: Hey Jaiden, do you think you can freeze that wave?
 * Jaiden: Good idea! I'll try.
 * Jaiden: Darn! Well, it was worth a shot...
 * Blast: How about we try doing it together?
 * Kyoji: That's a great idea. Let's do it. *charges up an ice blast*
 * Jaiden: Y'know what? That could possibly work!
 * Blast: We did it!
 * Captain Red Shell: Well done!
 * Rebecca: Hey, the earthquake stopped!
 * Bonk Choy: Yay!
 * Toby Topaz: Phew, we can finally have a smooth sailing ahead!
 * Sean Sapphire: I don't know, I fear this earthquake is only the smallest of our troubles.
 * Blue Ocean: Icebergs up ahead!
 * Blast: Look out! We don't want to end up like the Titanic!
 * Red Ruby: I know! Why don't I blow up those icebergs?
 * Sean Sapphire: You know what, that's not a bad idea. It's worth a shot.
 * Red Ruby: Well then, here I go!
 * Starry: It's working!
 * Gary Guppy: I wanna help too!
 * Sean Sapphire: Impressive.
 * Red Ruby: No big deal, Sean. Happy to blow things up.
 * Amelia Amethyst: We're nowhere near the pyramids, are we?
 * Captain Red Shell: Not yet, but we're getting closer.
 * Akasha: Hey, it's Peter the Penguin!
 * Bonk Choy: Wait, are you just naming a random penguin "Peter"?
 * Akasha: That's not just any random penguin, his name IS Peter! And that means...
 * Amelia Amethyst: The sea creatures are in danger!
 * Star: So wait...you know that penguin? Cool!
 * Starry: It's not cool!
 * Star: Uh, why?
 * Peter the Penguin: Look what the breeze has brought us today.
 * Random Penguin #1: It's a sushi bar!
 * Gerald: Uh, most of us aren't fish, y'know.
 * Red Fork: Hey, back off, oversized penguin!
 * Peter the Penguin: So, they brought more friends this time? No worries. Penguins, let's get ready for lunch!
 * Captain Red Shell: Leave the ship immediately.
 * Coconut Crab: Do as the captain says.
 * Peter the Penguin: Sorry, but we're not going anywhere. Nothing personal, but this is how the food chain works. I'm the predator, and you're the prey!
 * Red Fork: And what does that make me? *charges towards Peter Penguin*
 * Peter Penguin: Stupid. *uses his ice breathe to freeze the deck, causing Red Fork to slide across the deck and almost fall into the freezing ocean*
 * Red Fork: Whoa! *grabs on to the edge of the ship* Well, that's no good.
 * Lincoln: I'll help you!
 * Akasha: Sorry, Peter, but the kitchen here is closed!
 * Peter the Penguin: Aagh!
 * Scorch: On fire!
 * Peter the Penguin: What?
 * Scorch: You're on fire! *shoots large fire blasts at Peter the Penguin, setting him on fire*
 * Peter the Penguin: Aah! I'm burning! Aah!
 * Akasha: That's right, away you go.
 * Kyoji: Well done, Akasha.
 * Akasha: Thanks.
 * Bonk Choy: What do we do with these remaining penguins? *grabs and throws several penguins into the water at once*
 * Captain Red Shell: Get rid of them. *slashes the penguins away*
 * Red Fork: *gets back onto the ship* Whoa... who knew a penguin would be such a cold opponent? *laughs a bit* See what I did there?
 * Blue Ocean: *facepalm*
 * Peter Penguin: *emerges from the water* You think this is over? No way!
 * Peter Penguin: Time for round two. The king's round!
 * Blue Ocean: What the?
 * Peter the Penguin: It's clobbering time!
 * Blast: Ok, this is officially weird.
 * Akasha: Enough, Peter! You know very well you have no chance in eating our friends here, so just get out of here unless you want yourself some pain. *teleports away from Peter the Penguin to dodge his hammer*
 * Captain Red Shell: Alright, it is time to end this. *takes out his sword*
 * Peter the Penguin: I'm gonna clobber you and your friends! And then us penguins will have lunch!
 * Red Fork: That's it, I'm in!
 * Akasha: Alright, that's it. Hammer time is over, little birdie.
 * Peter the Penguin: There's nothing you can do against the king of penguins!
 * Captain Red Shell: Don't even try it.
 * Peter the Penguin: Whack-a-crab time!
 * Red Fork: I think I know what I'm going to choose. *comes towards Peter the Penguin* Hey, oversized penguin! You're not the only guy with a hammer now! *shows that he has a hammer too*
 * Peter the Penguin: You copycat!
 * Red Fork: I'm a pony, not a cat. Get your facts right.
 * Peter the Penguin: Hey, you'll pay for that!
 * Red Fork: Ouch...
 * Peter the Penguin: Penguin power!Meanwhile, Akasha easily shakes the penguins off of her, before firing a shadow blast at Peter the Penguin. The shadow blast deals heavy damage to him and also makes him drop his hammer.
 * Akasha: It's pathetic considering you thought you actually stood a chance against us.
 * Peter the Penguin: I'll be baaaaaack! *falls into the water*
 * Blast: Whoa, that was awesome!
 * Akasha: And there's more to come!
 * Bonk Choy: Welp, it's over, I guess.
 * Akasha: That penguin inflicted some pretty major damage to the ship. What a nuisance he was.
 * Sean Sapphire: I think we should move on now.
 * Captain Red Shell: You're right.
 * Jelo: That guys\ was pretty tough for a penguin.
 * Lemon Glass: I just hope we don't have to encounter him again.
 * Captain Red Shell: Coconut Crab, let's continue!
 * Coconut Crab: Aye aye, captain!
 * Captain Red Shell: This is it. We're here.
 * Red Ruby: About time!
 * Starcade: Huh, I don't see the pyramids anywhere.
 * Akasha: Well, they're underwater. We've got our diving suits, so we're good.
 * Green Shadow: You're right. We have to hurry, I'm not sure what Captain Dark Shell is up to but we have to find him quick!
 * Red Fork: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get on those diving suits and go check out the pyramids!
 * Green Shadow: If we're ready, we can set off.
 * Captain Red Shell: Remember, we're looking for the largest pyramid. That's where the Amulet of Dark Seas should be.
 * Jenny: So, that one over there? *points at the largest pyramid*
 * Captain Red Shell: Exactly.
 * Richard: Yep.
 * Akasha: Yes, it's that one.
 * Starcade: That's one cool-looking pyramid!
 * Green Shadow: We can talk more about it later.
 * Bonk Choy: Full speed ahead!
 * Blowy: Eek!
 * Tommy: I can't see anything!
 * Red Ruby: I can't see my own dynamite stick in front of my face!
 * Corolla: There's no light in here!
 * Diana Diamond: We need light to continue!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Easy! *sheds some light with her magic wand* If only Sakura were here, she could've lit up the pyramid completely.
 * Akasha: Then again, too much darkness renders her powers useless.
 * Red Ruby: Enough talk, let's blast our way to the amulet!
 * Red Fork: Yeah, let's go.
 * Blovy: Eek!
 * Marco: Everyone! Run!
 * Lisa: I believe you mean swim, since we're currently underwater.
 * Boom: It doesn't matter!
 * Marco: No time for corrections, we're about to get shot by arrows!
 * Tommy: Yikes!
 * Blue Ocean: Take cover! *creates a forcefield around the gang*.
 * Kernely: Phew, that was close.
 * Jenny: Yeah.
 * Blue Ocean: Good thing I'm quick with the forcefield. Pretty awesome, huh? Heh heh...
 * Red Fork: Look at what you've done!
 * Blue Ocean: Well, would you do it better?
 * Electra: Shut up and get moving!
 * Jelo: You've heard Electra, let's move!
 * Alice: Quick, let's go in there!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Good call!
 * Red Ruby: How did these traps return after the last time Gary Guppy and I blew them up?
 * Sean Sapphire: No time for that question, into the door!
 * Blast: Phew. Now that was even closer.
 * Captain Red Shell: Gang, we have arrived to the central chamber.
 * Akasha: Hey, the Amulet is gone! Well, someone obviously has been here.
 * Sean Sapphire: At least we know for sure Captain Dark Shell has been released from the Shadow Dimension.
 * Blowy: Oh no... that's not good!
 * Starry: But where is the amulet? And where is Captain Dark Shell?
 * Green Shadow: So that's how Captain Dark Shell looks like?
 * Akasha: That's right.
 * Captain Dark Shell: No tourists allowed.
 * Akasha: And no jerks like you allowed.
 * Sean Sapphire: Oooh, burn!!!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Here's your burn, brainless gem.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Does anyone else have something "smart" to say?
 * Akasha: Why don't you go back to the Shadow Dimension where you belong?
 * Captain Dark Shell: I challenge you to make me return!
 * Captain Red Shell: Take on someone form your own species, knight without any honor.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Honor? Honor is just a pathetic excuse made by weak and idiotic warrior in a useless attempt to overcome those who are stronger and smarter.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Do you guys think you're special? I don't care how many idiots you've defeated, anyone who challenges me is signing a death contract.
 * Akasha: Whatever. Do you think you're special yourself? I don't care how much of an idiot you are by thinking so, but anyone who challenges me is earning themselves a one-way ticket to hell.
 * Akasha: Simple fool, do you think you can't be defeated without being trapped in the Shadow Dimension?
 * Captain Dark Shell: Poor little souls. You think you have a chance against me.
 * Jelo: Whoa!
 * Richard: What's going on!?
 * Captain Dark Shell: What's the matter?
 * Red Fork: Oh, I'm going to get you good this time!
 * Ace: This is the end of the line, Captain Dark Shell.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Yes it is, but it's your line that will be ending.
 * Blast: Jason!
 * Captain Dark Shell: It's time you face the reality, gang. You're not the great heroes you thought you were. Every single victory you've had is just a result of luck on your behalf, and embarassing incompetence of the foes you call, "villains".
 * Blast: You're going to pay for this!
 * Alice: We're going to show you some respect!
 * Boom: Bring it on, edgy crab!
 * Electra: We'll take you down!
 * Blade: And we'll cut you down to size!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Oh, really?
 * Captain Dark Shell: So soon? We're just warming up.
 * Richard: Wait until you see what I can do!
 * Kernely: We won't let you hurt our friends!
 * Captain Dark Shell: How many more of you will have to fall before you realize that you cannot win?
 * Kyoji: Numbers don't matter, Captain. What matters is honor and the heart for battle.
 * Takeshi: We're going to show you why you should never mess with the elemental ninjas!
 * Sasuke: Get ready to be sent to your watery grave!
 * Red Fork: That's it, time to get serious. Charge!
 * Captain Dark Shell: This is a battle you will not win. But that's ok. The only thing better than tearing your apart is demolishing your morale.
 * Jaiden: You're going to be demolished once we're done with you!
 * Cypher-Den: Elemental combo, girls.
 * Rebecca: Ready!
 * Tommy: He has it!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Consider yourselves doomed, worthless beings.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Foolish beings... it would be much easier for you to simply surrender. You'd have much less pain that way. But you know? Causing you all so much pain and suffering is making this all much better.
 * Captain Red Shell: We... won't give up.
 * Ace: You must be stopped.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Heroic comeback? I've seen it before. You're nothing special.
 * Ace: You don't scare me. As powerful as you are, I will not let you do this.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Then you will fall in pieces.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Teleporting behind me? That's the oldest trick in the shadow book. If that's the best you've got, then that's just sad.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Do you think you're special? You're just another shadow ninja. I fought hundreds of them in the past. And I have to say, you're nothing compared to the ones I fought back in the day. You're weak!
 * Captain Dark Shell: You're just a joke.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Do you see this? This is what happens when you mess with Captain Dark Shell! Even your strongest warriors have fallen to my sword. Red Fork, Akasha, Kyoji, and even "Ace", they've all failed to defeat me. What makes the rest of you think things will be any different with you? Does anyone dare try anything else? *points his sword at the remaining members of the gang.*
 * Tommy: *hides behind Lemon Glass* I'm scared.
 * Lemon Glass: Oh no...
 * Red Ruby: You think you scare me? I'll show you! *takes out a dynamite stick, but the fuse cannot be lit due to it being underwater* Yikes.
 * Toby Topaz: Oh no...
 * Amelia Amethyst: We're doomed...
 * Starcade: You're never going to win, just you wait!
 * Captain Dark Shell: I already have, worthless beings. In fact, I could simply kill you all right here, right now. But instead, I'll do something better. I'll seal you all away in the Shadow Dimension.
 * Lemon Glass: What!?
 * Jelo: You can't do that!
 * Captain Dark Shell: Oh, yes I can. I've been imprisoned in that grim and depressive dimension for aeons. It's about time you guys experience for yourselves everything I've suffered.
 * Lemon Glass: No! *trying to swim away from the portal*
 * Blowy: I don't want to go to the Shadow Dimension! *trying to swim away from the portal*
 * Captain Dark Shell: Resistance is futile. No one can escape the dark, hellish portal of the Shadow Dimension.
 * Captain Dark Shell: Farewell. Try and enjoy your last moments of life, before the the shady beings of this dimension end your existence. As for me, it's time to continue what I began so long ago.
 * Jaiden: Where...are...we?


 * Coconut Crab: It's... it's... the Shadow Dimension.
 * Akasha: How is this possible? The amulet is supposed to trap him!
 * Coconut Crab: He must have altered the amulet somehow. Whatever he did, this is terrible on so many levels.
 * Akasha: Unless someone else altered rhe amulet for him.
 * Starcade: Perhaps Discord?
 * Green Shadow: Maybe not.
 * Akasha: But there's no way for him to alter the amulet while in the Shadow Dimension...
