However, Captain Red Shell is caught off guard when his oldest enemy, King Squidmir, returns for revenge, threatening both the Crab Empire and Echo Creek.

Story
''It seemed to be a peaceful day in Echo Creek. The cold breeze was blowing by, making the trees move gently, and causing the leaves from the trees to make a relaxing sound. In Echo Creek, everything was calm. However, near the coast, it was everything but calm. The sound of a sword clashing against a shield, the silent sound of a shadow ninja teleporting around, and the noise of a fully charged shadow blast. Ace and Captain Red Shell were having an intense battle at the coast.''

''Captain Red Shell charged towards Ace to slash him with his legendary sword. Ace, however, easily blocked the sword with his Ace Shield.'' Ace teleports behind Captain Red Shell, but Captain Red Shell turns around quickly, giving Ace a quick slash with his sword, before the super-powered shadow ninja retaliates by shooting a shadow blast directly at the captain, blowing him into a rock. ''As the two strong warriors were resting from the intense battle, they heard something approaching from the sea. As they look towards the sea, they see large ships approaching the coast.'' As the ships come closer to the coast, Captain Red Shell manages to see squid soldiers from Moluskopolis on the ships. Ace disappears, while Captain Red Shell gets ready to fight the squids that are approaching the coast.
 * Ace: Come on, I'm sure you can do much better than that.
 * Captain Red Shell: I'm just getting started.
 * Ace: I guess it's clear who of us is the superior warrior now, isn't it?
 * Captain Red Shell: You're a worthy opponent, Ace.
 * Ace: You're not bad either, Red Shell.
 * Ace: What is that?
 * Captain Red Shell: This isn't good.
 * Captain Red Shell: It's the army of Moluskopolis!
 * Ace: Moluskopolis?
 * Captain Red Shell: The greatest enemies of the Crab Empire. King Squidmir must have sent them to attack Echo Creek.
 * Ace: I guess that King Squidmir stole your idea, didn't he?
 * Captain Red Shell: What?
 * Ace: When you invaded cities with your crab army?
 * Captain Red Shell: That's in the past, Ace.
 * Ace: It's easy to say when you're not the one whose life went downhill because of it.
 * Captain Red Shell: I'm sorry, Ace. I hope you understand that I'm doing everything in my power to make up for my past mistakes.
 * Ace: Well, now's your chance to do so.
 * Captain Red Shell: I can't do this alone. I'll need the Locked Room Gang for this.
 * Ace: I'll call them. You keep these squids from reaching the city.
 * Captain Red Shell: Agreed.

Meanwhile, in Echo Creek, the gang is outside Alice's house, waiting for her to come out. Inside the house... Alice finally comes out of her house. ''The gang goes to Red Spoon's restaurant. However, on the way, they hear a short whistle melody.'' Suddenly, Ace appears in front of the gang. ''The gang follows Ace to the coast. On the way, Ace explains to the gang about how he and Captain Red Shell saw the squid soldiers approaching in battleships. When the gang arrives at the coast, they see Captain Red Shell and his team fighting off the squid soldiers. However, the sea creatures are badly outnumbered by the squid soldiers.'' The gang goes in to help Captain Red Shell and his team fight off the squid soldiers. The squid soldiers are being commanded by two familiar squid soldiers: Squidmo and Tentacles. ''Tentacles and Squidmo start shooting cannon balls at the gang from one of the battleships. The rest of the squid soldiers continue to attack.'' Amelia Amethyst protects everyone from the cannonballs with a forcefield, while the rest of the gang continues attacking Tentacles and Squidmo from afar. ''Tentacles puts on a helmet with a huge spike on it, and rams into the forcefield Amelia Amethyst is creating. The spike on Tentacles's helmet causes severe damage to the forcefield.'' The other squid soldiers continue attacking, until the forcefield comes down. The gang continues attacking the squid soldiers, while Amelia Amethyst has to wait before she can activate another forcefield. ''Squidmo and Tentacles continue firing cannonballs at the gang. Captain Red Shell invades the ship with Coconut Crab and Gary Guppy.'' Gary Guppy throws a bomb at Tentacles, dealing great damage to him. Squidmo and Tentacles fight Captain Red Shell, Coconut Crab and Gary Guppy on the ship, while the rest of the squid soldiers continue fighting the gang on the beach. ''Pink Angel flies towards the squid soldiers, knocking several of them upwards. Test Subject Blue then takes them out by firing proton bullets at them. In seconds, half of the squid soldiers are defeated.'' ''Red Fork and Blue Ocean put their horns together, and shoot a powerful magic combo at the remaining squids, defeating them. On the ship, Captain Red Shell slashes Squidmo and Tentacles, managing to defeat both of them.'' ''Squidmo and Tentacles jump out of the ship, and go into the sea. The injured squid soldiers quickly follow them.'' Blue Ocean shows the gang several scuba diving suits with oxygen tanks. Most of the gang puts on scuba diving suits, except for the sea creatures, the gemstones and Test Subject Blue. Red Fork leads one team to follow the squids, while Captain Red Shell leads the other team to the Crab Empire. The two teams separate from each other.
 * Blast: Come on, Alice! Hurry up!
 * Blue Ocean: We're all waiting for you to come out.
 * Red Fork: We don't want to be late to Red Spoon's restaurant. He said today he added a new dish to the menu, and I can't wait to try it!
 * Starcade: What's Alice doing in there?
 * Green Shadow: I'm not sure. She's taking quite long in there though.
 * Test Subject Blue: What's taking her so long?
 * Pink Angel: I have no idea either.
 * Kyoji: Be patient. Alice should be done soon.
 * Test Subject Blue: Yeah, you're right.
 * Alice's dad: Alice, did you help your brother Max with his homework yesterday like I asked you?
 * Alice: Sorry dad. I was busy helping the gang fight a robot that was destroying the city.
 * Alice's dad: *facepalm* Same excuses as always, Alice.
 * Alice: But it's true!
 * Alice's dad: I never said you were lying. Did you at least wash the dishes?
 * Alice: Uh... no.
 * Alice's dad: Look, It's ok to go and save the world, but don't forget your other chores.
 * Alice: But...
 * Alice's dad: No buts Alice, you're grounded.
 * Alice: But dad... the gang is waiting for me outside. Can I at least go with them?
 * Alice's dad: Ok. But after you finish, I want you back home. Do I make myself clear?
 * Alice: Yes, dad.
 * Alice's dad. Ok, you can go.
 * Alice: Thanks.
 * Blast: What took you so long?
 * Alice: Same old, same old.
 * Blast: You're grounded again?
 * Alice: Yeah... I still get to be with you guys, though.
 * Red Ruby: What a jerk your dad is.
 * Red Fork: Good enough. Let's go to Red Spoon's restaurant!
 * Toby Topaz: I can't wait to try out the new dish!
 * Diana Diamond: Me too!
 * Test Subject Blue: Pink Angel and I are just here to protect Starcade after the last time an android nearly destroyed the entire city, knowing that she's one of the creators. But since there's no attack ongoing right now, we might as well join you guys.
 * Pink Angel: Plus, we heard that Red Spoon is one great cook! I can't wait to try his cooking!
 * Test Subject Blue: Me too! Let's get going!
 * Lemon Glass: Do you guys hear that?
 * Test Subject Blue: I hear a whistle.
 * Starcade: Me too.
 * Green Shadow: Does this mean that Ace is here?
 * Blast. Yeah, it's my brother's signature whistle!
 * Blast: Jason, glad to see you again! *hugs his brother*
 * Ace: Glad to see you too, Alex. And all of you guys too. Listen, I have something important to say.
 * Red Fork: What is it?
 * Ace: Come to the coast, I'll explain on the way.
 * Sean Sapphire: What's happening up at the coast?
 * Diana Diamond: Looks like we're about to find out.
 * Ace: This is what I was talking about.
 * Sean Sapphire: Oh no. This is not good!
 * Kyoji: Looks like they need our help.
 * Green Shadow: Let's go help them then!
 * Starcade: Blue, Pink Angel, follow us!
 * Starry: It's the Locked Room Gang!
 * Coconut Crab: It's good to see you, guys!
 * Blowy: I was starting to get afraid.
 * Starry: Blowy, you're always afraid.
 * Blowey: Oh, right...
 * Captain Red Shell: Thank you all for coming. We need all the help we can get.
 * Squidmo: They've got backup!
 * Tentacles: Uh, what do we do now?
 * Squidmo: We attack, you spongehead!
 * Tentacles: Oh, right!
 * Squidmo: Blow them down! Dead fish tell no tales!
 * Tentacles: But, they're not fish...
 * Squidmo: Whatever! Just blow them down!
 * Tentacles: Ok!
 * Starcade: Cannon balls! Watch out!
 * Pink Angel: Yikes! Those things hurt!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Don't worry, Starcade. I got this.
 * Tentacles: Our weapons are useless!
 * Squidmo: The only thing useless here is your brain! Come on, Tentacles, use your head for once!
 * Tentacles: Uh... ok?
 * Squidmo: I'd be yelling at you for your ignorance if that hadn't worked so well.
 * Tentacles: Hehe...
 * Squidmo: Everyone else, attack!
 * Diana Diamond: Gary, call Spandroid here! We need him to end this madness!
 * Gary Garnet: I have now programmed Spandroid to only fix things, so he can't help us. I'll need another microchip to make Spandroid attack again, but believe me, I won't repeat the same mistake by doing that.
 * Diana Diamond: I guess that leaves us no choice but to deal with this ourselves.
 * Kyoji: She's right. We have to defend Echo Creek against these squids.
 * Green Shadow: Let's give them everything we got!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Though, I'll need some time before I can activate another forcefield again. Each spell consumes a portion of my wand's power.
 * Squidmo: Fire!
 * Tentacles: What? Why do we need fire?
 * Squidmo: No, you spongehead! I'm telling you to fire cannonballs at them!
 * Tentacles: Oh, right!
 * Squidmo: What are you doing?
 * Captain Red Shell: We're stopping your invasion.
 * Tentacles: No way!
 * Gary Guppy: Yes way!
 * Tentacles: Run!
 * Squidmo: No! We're gonna fight! Get the swords!
 * Red Ruby: Those squid soldiers sure are annoying!
 * Sean Sapphire: Well, they should be going down soon, right?
 * Kyoji: Keep fighting, don't give up!
 * Takeshi: Got it!
 * Test Subject Blue: Perhaps it's time we unleash a combo attack on those squids! What do you think, Pink Angel?
 * Pink Angel: Great idea!
 * Test Subject Blue: We'll show those underwater creeps the true power of teamwork!
 * Red Fork: Good job guys!
 * Blue Ocean: Let's do some more combos!
 * Captain Red Shell: Good job, Locked Room Gang.
 * Gary Guppy: We did it! 
 * Green Shadow: Well, that was quick.
 * Starcade: Agreed.
 * Sean Sapphire: I'm pretty sure that wasn't the last of the squids.
 * Toby Topaz: But what do we do now?
 * Captain Red Shell: I have the feel that we're not nearly done yet. King Squidmir usually has other tricks up his sleeves.
 * Squidmo: Of course not!
 * Tentacles: Yeah! He isn't doing tricks! He only plans to steal the treasures of the Crab Empire! We were sent to be a distraction.
 * Coconut Crab: What!?
 * Squidmo: Tentacles, you idiot! You just told them the plan!
 * Tentacles: I did?
 * Squidmo: Yes, you did!
 * Tentacles: Oh no...
 * Squidmo: Let's get out of here.
 * Tentacles: Got it!
 * Sean Sapphire: Let's go after them!
 * Amelia Amethyst: I'm not sure about that, they said they're only meant to be distractions for...what's their king's name again?
 * Sean Sapphire: *facepalms* King Squidmir...
 * Amelia Amethyst: Okay, I gotcha.
 * Sean Sapphire: Anyway, shouldn't we go after them?
 * Captain Red Shell: They said King Squidmir was after the treasures of the Crab Empire. I believe we should head to the Crab Empire to see if everything is ok.
 * Coconut Crab: Understood, captain.
 * Blue Ocean: Perhaps we should split up into two teams. One will go after those two buffoons, while the other goes to protect the Crab Empire.
 * Captain Red Shell: Good idea, Blue Ocean.
 * Red Fork: I can lead the team that follows those pesky squids. Blue Ocean, Lemon Glass, Blast, Tommy, Alice and Boulder, you guys can come with me.
 * Captain Red Shell: In that case, I'll go to the Crab Empire with Gary Guppy, Starry, Blowy, Coconut Crab, and Ace.
 * Red Fork: Got it!
 * Blue Ocean: What about you guys?
 * Sean Sapphire: We gemstones shall follow you, Captain Red Shell. You might need our help.
 * Starcade: I'll follow Red Fork's team. Blue, Pink Angel, are you coming?
 * Test Subject Blue: Of course!
 * Pink Angel: We're right behind you!
 * Kyoji: Takeshi, Sasuke, let's join Red Fork's team. Green Shadow, follow Captain Red Shell's team.
 * Green Shadow: Got it.
 * Takeshi: Got it.
 * Sasuke: Let's go! "Water" we waiting for?
 * Blast: I guess we're waiting for someone to tell us how we're going to go underwater. Most of us can't breathe underwater, you know.
 * Blue Ocean: Oh, I've got that solved!
 * Blue Ocean: This should come in handy.
 * Alice: Good thinking, Blue Ocean!
 * Gary Garnet: No thanks, we're good. Gemstones like us don't need to breathe in oxygen. We don't have noses after all.
 * Test Subject Blue: And I'm good too, since I'm basically already in a suit.
 * Green Shadow: Well, the rest of us would still need them. Anyway, thanks for the suits, Blue Ocean.
 * Blue Ocean: No problem.
 * Red Fork: Well, let's get going!
 * Green Shadow: Well, good luck, guys!
 * Starcade: You too!
 * Red Ruby: Ugh, let's just move on before the water pressure pressures us.
 * Sean Sapphire: Fine, let's get going!

''Captain Red Shell leads his team towards the Crab Empire. However, while they were heading to the Crab Empire, they see a pony in a scuba diving suit. The pony seems to be heading to the Crab Empire as well.'' ''Captain Red Shell and the rest of the team follow the pony, until they arrive at the Crab Empire. When they are the Crab Empire, the gang can see large stone walls, guarded by dozens of crab soldiers that carry spears and shields.'' ''The crab soldiers open a gate for the gang to enter to the Crab Empire. However, the pony they were following is now nowhere to be seen.'' ''The gang follows Captain Red Shell to the palace. When they arrive, they're in for a surprise. The pony they saw earlier is now fighting against two squid soldiers in the treasure room.'' The gang walks into the treasure room, while the pony has finished off both squid soldiers. ''Both squids fall unconscious, and the pony laughs as she grabs the treasures. Then she speaks with a familiar voice.'' Captain Red Shell closes his eyes and remains silent for a moment. Coconut Crab and the sea creatures walk out of the treasure room. Inside the treasure room... ''Black Gem attempts to escape from the treasure room with the treasures, but Captain Red Shell tosses his sword of Scrabbagnon at Black Gem. Black Gem dodges, and sees the Sword of Crabbagnon get stuck on the wall, a couple of inches from her.'' ''Black Gem tries to swim towards the exit, but Captain Red Shell gets in the way, and attacks Black Gem with his claws. Black Gem attempts to dodge, but she's not as agile as she usually is due to being underwater. Still,she manages to avoid major damage.'' ''Black Gem swims around Captain Red Shell, who easilly reacts to her movements, dodges her attacks and manages to hit her several times. Captain Red Shell is about to deliver the final hit on Black Gem, but she tosses one of the jewels she's carrying. The jewel hits Captain Red Shell, damaging him slightly.'' ''Black Gem begins tossing jewels at Captain Red Shell. He then stops attacking and focuses on defending himself from the objects Black Gem is tossing at him. Captain Red Shell puts his arms in front of his face to block the jewels with his claws. However, Black Gem takes advantage of this to sneak up to Captain Red Shell from behind.'' Black Gem kicks Captain Red Shell from behind, knocking him into a wall. ''Black Gem is about to leave, when she sees one more jewel at the other side of the room. It's much larger than the other jewels she has already taken, and her eyes glow just by seeing it.'' ''Black Gem walks to take the jewel, but when she's grabs a jewel, a trap is activated. A trap door opens below Black Gem.'' Captain Red Shell grabs onto Black Gem's hoof, keeping her from falling into the dark pit below her. ''Captain Red Shell pulls Black Gem until she's out of the pit. Black Gem blushes a bit, but then pulls her hoof away from Captain Red Shell.'' Black Gem drops the treasures on the floor, giving them back to Captain Red Shell. Black Gem is about to exit the room, but she stops when Captain Red Shell says one more thing to her. Black Gem exits the treasure room, while Captain Red Shell puts the treasures back in place.
 * Gary Guppy: Is it just my own craziness, or am I seeing a pony swimming towards the Crab Empire?
 * Red Ruby: Well, it technically could be both.
 * Emma Emerald: I think Gary Guppy's right. I see a pony too.
 * Sean Sapphire: Now what is that pony doing? And it seems to be heading to the Crab Empire too!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Shall we follow the pony?
 * Green Shadow: That would be a good idea.
 * Captain Red Shell: Let's do it.
 * Crab Soldier #24: Captain?
 * Captain Red Shell: These guys come with me. We have reasons to believe King Squidmir will attempt to attack the Crab Empire.
 * Crab Soldier #16: What should we do, captain?
 * Captain Red Shell: I brought them for back up.
 * Crab Soldier #24: Understood. We'll let them in.
 * Green Shadow: Hey, where's the pony we're following earlier?
 * Toby Topaz: I don't know.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Neither do I.
 * Sean Sapphire: I kinda have a bad feeling that we have met that pony before.
 * Captain Red Shell: We have to go to the palace. That's where the treasures are.
 * Coconut Crab: Understood, captain!
 * Sean Sapphire: We have to hurry. Who knows if King Squidmir might have already taken the treasures?
 * Diana Diamond: Well, we have to be there first.
 * Red Ruby: What are we waiting for then? Let's go!
 * Starry: Wha!?
 * Coconut Crab: This is... unexpected.
 * Toby Topaz: Hey, that's the pony we saw earlier!
 * Green Shadow: I have to agree with you, Coconut Crab.
 * Emma Emerald: Why is that pony attacking the squid soldiers?
 * Gary Garnet: That's definitely a mystery that we should solve.
 * Sean Sapphire: Let's go investigate then!
 * Squid Soldier #1: Ugh... Who knew ponies would be so dangerous?
 * Squid Soldier #2: Who knew this pony would be here in the first place?
 * ???: Sorry squids, but these jewels are for me.
 * Sean Sapphire: I knew it, that pony is familiar!
 * Toby Topaz: Well, who is it?
 * Sean Sapphire: Black Gem, of course! Who else would travel all the way here just for treasures? Plus, she is one of Captain Red Shell's rivals, so it'll make sense that she's constantly attempting to steal the Crab Empire's treasures!
 * Green Shadow: *gasps* You might be right!
 * Captain Red Shell: Black Gem, you'd better leave that were it was!
 * Black Gem: *turns around, and notices the gang* Oh, hi guys!
 * Captain Red Shell: Put that treasure down, thief.
 * Black Gem: Is that how you thank me for stopping those squid soldiers from taking your treasures?
 * Sean Sapphire: Stop trying to trick us, you jewel thief! We know you want those treasures for yourself!
 * Red Ruby: Now get out of here or else! *takes out a stick of dynamite, which is unlit because the gang is underwater*
 * Toby Topaz: Um...Red, we're underwater.
 * Red Ruby: Of course, I should've known my explosives won't work here! I'm practically useless underwater!
 * Black Gem: *with sarcasm* That's a surprise...
 * Sean Sapphire: But you get our point, Black Gem. Put down those treasures this instant!
 * Black Gem: You don't give me orders.
 * Captain Red Shell: I'm the captain of the crab army. If you don't put down those treasures now, I can call all the crab soldiers in the empire to come for you. You won't escape!
 * Black Gem: *smiles* Oh, I see what's going on.
 * Captain Red Shell: What do you mean?
 * Black Gem: You depend on your army to stop me, don't you? Aren't you an "honorable warrior" or something? If you were really honorable, you'd be able to stop me by yourself, Red Shell.
 * Coconut Crab: Don't listen to her, captain!
 * Black Gem: So, what's it going to be?
 * Captain Red Shell: Gang, go outside and keep your eyes pealed in case any of King Squidmir's henchsquids come along.
 * Coconut Crab: But, what about Black Gem?
 * Captain Red Shell: I'll handle her.
 * Coconut Crab: But...
 * Black Gem: Are you going to disobey your captain's orders? Shame on you.
 * Coconut Crab: Oh, sorry!
 * Black Gem: I don't want to hear any of it. Now get going and do what the captain says!
 * Coconut Crab: Uh.. yes Miss Black Gem, sorry...
 * Ace: Are you sure of this, Red Shell?
 * Captain Red Shell: I defeated her in the tournament, I can do it again here.
 * Ace: If you say so. *disappears*
 * Green Shadow: Good luck, I guess.
 * Toby Topaz: Yeah, I kinda don't like how this might turn out.
 * Sean Sapphire: I don't trust that thief though. I'm staying with Captain Red Shell in case that thief tries anything scheming.
 * Black Gem: Just what I suspected. Can't fight alone, can you?
 * Captain Red Shell: *getting angry* Sean, stay outside the treasure room, please.
 * Sean Sapphire: Fine, but don't come running for me when that thief puts you at a disadvantage. *angrily leaves the treasure room*
 * Diana Diamond: What's wrong, Sean?
 * Sean Sapphire: It's Black Gem! She's doing anything to keep the treasures for herself! I know that she will trick Captain Red Shell sooner or later, why won't he listen?
 * Red Ruby: I feel your pain. That's exactly how I felt when Dr. Zack tricked everyone several times!
 * Sean Sapphire: *sheds a tear* I guess no one takes us gemstones seriously. *clears away the tear* Well, let's see how well the captain does against Black Gem.
 * Coconut Crab: I just hope Captain Red Shell's ok. You know how much that pony likes to play dirty when it comes to fighting.
 * Gary Guppy: He'll be ok. He beat her once, he'll do it again. For now, let's make sure no squid soldiers come along to invade!
 * Sean Sapphire: I doubt that.
 * Green Shadow: Let's just hold down the fort and make sure that no squid soldiers enter the treasure room while Captain Red Shell and Black Gem fight in there.
 * Gary Guppy: Got it!
 * Blowy: Don't worry, Sean. I still don't know why, but Black Gem seems to be able to influence on Captain Red Shell more than any other opponent he has. He still appreciates you as a good ally. I'm sure of it.
 * Sean Sapphire: I mean, shouldn't Captain Red Shell be angry about that fact that Black Gem constantly annoys him? I don't understand why he's still listening to that thief!
 * Diana Diamond: It's most likely because he wants to be renowned as an honorable warrior who fights his opponents the hard way.
 * Red Ruby: Either way, I agree that Black Gem is an untrustworthy thief who only cares about treasures.
 * Diana Diamond: Don't worry, Sean. Captain Red Shell will be able to pull off this somehow. Remember, he has defeated countless opponents on his own - Captain Blowhole, Payton Piranha...
 * Sean Sapphire: But they're not as manipulative as Black Gem is!
 * Diana Diamond: True, but this is Captain Red Shell's battle. We shouldn't interfere. He should be able to defeat Black Gem on his own.
 * Sean Sapphire: I hope you're right.
 * Captain Red Shell: Last chance Black Gem. Put that treasure back!
 * Black Gem: Sorry captain, I odon't take orders from you. Now if you excuse me, I'd better get leaving.
 * Black Gem: Hey, you almost hit me!
 * Captain Red Shell: You won't take away that treasure. Put it back.
 * Black Gem: Catch me if you can. *winks*
 * Black Gem: Is that how you treat a lady? Don't you have any manners?
 * Captain Red Shell: I've got manners, but I don't see any lady!
 * Black Gem: Aha!
 * Black Gem: See ya, captain!
 * Black Gem: It's time I get out of this place.
 * Black Gem: Now that's a decent prize.
 * Black Gem: Aah!
 * Captain Red Shell: Careful!
 * Black Gem: Huh?
 * Captain Red Shell: I've got you.
 * Black Gem: Get your claws off of me!
 * Captain Red Shell: Is that how you thank me for saving your life?
 * Black Gem: Oh, please. You just wanted a reason to hold my hoof, didn't you?
 * Captain Red Shell: What are you talking about now?
 * Black Gem: *rolls her eyes* Whatever...
 * Captain Red Shell: Besides, you still have the treasure with you, so...
 * Black Gem: You know what? Just take them.
 * Captain Red Shell: What?
 * Black Gem: I don't want them anymore. They smell like fish.
 * Captain Red Shell: What kind of game are you playing, Black Gem?
 * Black Gem: *shrugs* I think I'd better get going. I know you've got more important things to take care of now.
 * Captain Red Shell: Black Gem... I know you only did it for the treasure, but thanks for taking out those squid soldiers.
 * Black Gem: Well, I know you only did it to hold my hoof, but thanks for saving me.
 * Captain Red Shell: What? I didn't do it for that! I did it to save you and the treasure!
 * Black Gem: Tell it to the anglerfish, pal.
 * Captain Red Shell: *angry* What!? I'll let you know that was a completely different situation!
 * Black Gem: Whatever you say... *rolls her eyes* Until next time. I'd better get going now.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team are outside with the crab soldiers, on the look out for squid soldiers, when suddenly, they see Black Gem exiting the Crab Empire. While this team is at the Crab Empire, the other team is following Squidmo and Tentacles. The gang sees a large city full of squids. ''The two squids enter Mouskopolis, which is surrounded by large stone walls, and guarded by squid soldiers. As the gang tries to enter to follow Squidmo and Tentacles, the squid soldiers that are guarding the gate stop them.'' Suddenly, the gang is now being surrounded by dozens of squid soldiers, carryinng swords, spears and shields with them. Red Fork rams into the squid soldiers, completely knocking him out in one hit. ''The squid soldiers fight the gang. They use their shields to block the bullets and arrows, while using their spears and swords to attack them.'' ''Sasuke takes out his water sickles, before spinning towards the squid soldiers like the tornado, striking at their shields. However, nothing happens.'' The squid soldiers continue attacking, injuring a few members of the gang. ''Kyoji, Takeshi and Sasuke concentrate their powers to perform an elemental combo on the squid soldiers. The elemental combo breaks the shields, but due to the gang being underwater, the water get electrified as well, electrocuting several nearby gang members. Furthermore, the water is beginning to freeze due to the ice powers in the combo. At least most of the squid soldiers were defeated by the combo.'' ''The gang sees that the squid soldiers have been defeated. However, they're suffering some consequences from the combo too. The water around them is electrified, and is electrocuting several of the gang members that were nearby when the combo was performed. The ice in the combo is also making the water get much colder than before.  The gang quickly moves on to look for Squidmo and Tentacles. They enter Moluskopolis, a city completely populated by squids.'' ''The gang heads towards the castle. It's a large, fancy castle, with two big statues of King Squidmir, one on each side.'' The gang is at the entrance of King Squidmir's castle, but they discover that the door won't open. ''Takeshi smashes the door with his electric hammer. However, nothing happens.'' ''Red Fork takse a few steps backwards, getting ready to ram into the door. Tommy, however, still keeps pulling the door.'' Alice pushes the door, and it opens. ''Before Alice could finish her sentence, Red Fork already rammed into her by accident, and continued running into the castle. Red Fork runs up some stairs, passing by several floors at high speed.'' At a much higher floor, Squidmo and Tentacles are about to reach King Squidmir's throne room, when suddenly, they see a red blur dash right past them. ''Red Fork reaches the last floor of the tall castle, and runs into a window. Red Fork and Alice then begin falling.'' ''Red Fork and Alice facepalm, and then stop falling. They swim back to the gang.'' The gang enters the castle through the door. The gang looks upwards, and sees an insane amount of stairs spiralling upwards. ''The gang drinks some speed potion, and then runs upstairs. Meanwhile, Squidmo and Tentacles are about to reach the throne room.'' ''Suddenly, the gang reaches them. They stop, and then drink the antidote potion.'' ''Starcade charges towards Squidmo and Tentacles and starts delivering punches to both squids. However, after dealing a few hits, the lights go out, leaving everyone in the dark.'' ''Red Fork uses his horn to generate a bit of light. The gang can see again. However, Squidmo and Tentacles are gone.'' ''The gang runs to the throne room. There, they see King Squidmir sitting on a golden throne, while Squidmo and Tentacles are talking to him. They hide behind a pillar so that the squids can't see them.'' Squidmo and Tentacles exit the room. ''The gang gets out of their hiding place to get the two squid soldiers. However, King Squidmir sees this.'' King Squidmir presses a button near his throne, making a cage fall on the gang, trapping them. ''Red Fork attempts to break the gang free from the cage, but it doesn't work. The cage doesn't take any damage.'' Dozens of squid soldiers come, and together they lift the cage the gang is in. The gang is still inside the cage, as the squids take the cage to the dungeon. The squid soldiers place the cage in the dungeon. The squid soldiers lock the dungeon door, and go back to King Squidmir's room, leaving the gang locked. Back at the Crab Empire, the other half of the gang sees Captain Red Shell return to them. ''The gang follows Coconut Crab to Moluskopolis. Meanwhile, Captain Red Shell stays to stand guard, when suddenly, a female squid shows up.'' Calamara slowly gets closer to Captain Red Shell, but he leaps away from her. Calamara leaves the Crab Empire. Black Gem shows up behind Captain Red Shell. Black Gem then looks at Captain Red Shell, and smiles. ''As the two talk, an army of squid soldiers arrives at the walls of the Crab Empire. A crab soldiers blows into a large conch shell, announcing that the enemy is here.'' Black Gem is about to leave, but Captain Red Shell grabs her by her tail. Meanwhile, Coconut Crab leads the gang to Moluskopolis. The gang swims above the gate, and gets into the city, where dozens of squid soldiers, carrying spears, shields and swords are waiting for them. ''The squid soldiers attack the forcefield, while using their shields to defend themselves. The gemstones attack the shields, but find that they are hard to be broken down.'' ''The squid soldiers manage to destroy the forcefield.  The gemstones gather and transform into the Legendary Rainbow Gem.'' The Legendary Rainbow Gem swims towards the squid soldiers. The Legendary Rainbow Gem fires powerful rainbow bullets, knocking out the squid soldiers. The Legendary Rainbow Gem splits back into the seven gemstones. ''The gang swims above the gates of Moluskopolis to the castle. There, more squid soldiers spot them, and immediately alert their king about the gang.'' A few squid soldiers are chasing them, while others are on the ground, waiting for the command. The squids begin firing large stones at the gang, as if they were catapults. Amelia Amethyst quickly raises another forcefield to protect the gang from the stones. ''Coconut Crab takes out his spear and shield, and fights the two squid soldiers that were following the gang. The squids below continue hurling large stones, weakening the forcefield.'' ''Gary Garnet puts on his Garnetronic 5000 suit, before firing laser bullets at the two squid soldiers. The two squid soldiers fall unconscious, but the squid soldiers below hurl more stones, and destroy Amelia's forcefield.'' ''Gary Garnet plummets down to the bottom of the ocean, before attempting to attack the squid soldiers below. However, before he can do so, they let out a large amount of ink, making Gary Garnet unable to see where he's going. Then, the squid soldiers toss large stones at the Garnetronic 5000 suit, dealing heavy damage on him. The Garnetronic 5000 suit automatically wipes off the ink from it, allowing Gary Garnet to see shortly after.  Gary Garnet starts attacking the squid soldiers by charging into them, dealing punches with brute strength to them. The squid soldiers quickly swim out of the way, and let out more ink, leaving Gary Garnet unable to see where he's going again. When Gary Garnet wipes off the ink, the squid soldiers have already left.'' Gary Garnet swims back to the gang, telling them that the squid soldiers have escaped. The gang enters the castle, and sees an insane amount of stairs spiralling upwards. Gary Garnet starts swimming upwards. The gang follows Gary Garnet upwards. Amelia Amethyst casts a spell on everyone including herself, which works similar to Blue Ocean's Speed Potion. ''The other gang members swims upwards and follows Gary Guppy and Gary Garnet. Once everyone arrives at the top, the spell's effect wears off.'' Coconut Crab sneaks into the throne room, where King Squidmir is having a feast. ''Suddenly, a cage falls on the gang. King Squidmir smiles, while he slowly claps with two of his tentacles.'' ''Green Shadow freezes the entire cage, before punching it. However, it doesn't break.'' A few squid soldiers come into the room, and lift the cage. The squid soldiers start swimming downwards with the cage, taking it towards the dungeon. Gary Guppy imitates King Squidmir's voice. The squid soldiers open the cage, letting the gang out. ''The gang follows Coconut Crab to the dungeon. When they arrive, they see the other half of the gang trapped inside the dungeon. Blast is playing a harmonica, while Tommy is drawing on the walls with a chalk. Starcade is humming to herself, Kyoji is meditating, Takeshi is doing push-ups, Sasuke is playing around with his water powers, Test Subject Blue is stretching outside his prototype suit, while Pink Angel is doing target practice on some target drawings that it made using a chalk it borrowed from Tommy.'' ''The gemstones transform into the Legendary Rainbow Gem. Green Shadow tells him to break the dungeon cell open, and he does so. The other half of the gang inside the dungeon stands back, as the Legendary Rainbow Gem fires a rainbow beam to create a large hole in the dungeon cell, before he splits back into the seven gemstones.'' Coconut Crab leads the gang to the throne room. Meanwhile, at the Crab Empire, Captain Red Shell and Black Gem are fighting off waves of squid soldiers, together with Captain Red Shell's army of crab soldiers. While they're fighting, Captain Red Shell sees a large squid soldier come towards him, wielding four swords and two shields. ''Captain Red Shell fights the large squid soldier. Captain Red Shell tries to slash the squid with his sword, but the large cephalopod blocks his attacks with his two shields, before quickly hitting him many times with his four swords.'' The squid soldier stabs Black Gem with one of his swords, making her fall to the ground. ''Captain Red Shell and General Squidian fight each other. Captain Red Shell swims around at high speeds, attacking while dodging the attacks from his opponent. However, General Squidian blocks the crustacean's attacks with his two shields, while slashing with his four swords. Captain Red Shell takes lots of damage, and looks weak. His shell has started to crack apart.'' ''General Squidian and Captain Red Shell continue fighting, but General Squidian blocks Captain Red Shell's attacks, while dealing much more damage on him. Eventually, Captain Red Shell takes too much damage, and can barely move. He stays on the ground, fighting the pain and trying to stand up.'' General Squidian slashes Captain Red Shell with his sword once more, making him faint. As General Squidian prepares to kill Captain Red Shell for good, Black Gem stands up, and sees what's happening. Black Gem zips by as fast as she can, taking Captain Red Shell away before General Squidian can kill him. Black Gem swims, taking Captain Red Shell with him. Meanwhile, back at King Squidmir's castle... King Squidmir is with a snail that is wearing a scientist lab coat and glasses. Dr. Shelly continues working on the machine. Suddenly, Blue Ocean's cellphone starts ringing. ''The gemstones follow Coconut Crab to help Captain Red Shell. Coconut Crab and the gemstones arrive at the Crab Empire. There, they can see the squid soldiers and crab soldiers fighting against each other. Only in movies have they seen two powerful armies fight each other like this.'' The gemstones notice Black Gem swimming towards them, carrying Captain Red Shell with her. They try to make their way into the Crab Empire, but with all the squids and crabs fighting each other, they can't pass through to the Crab Empire.
 * Sean Sapphire: What a coward. I knew she was of no match for Captain Red Shell.
 * Diana Diamond: Well, that went well. I told you Captain Red Shell can handle the fight on his own.
 * Sean Sapphire: Turns out you're right. But I'm not going to take any chances the next time Black Gem tries to steal the treasures.
 * Green Shadow: At least Black Gem won't be able to bother us in our mission.
 * Black Gem: Hey, don't think I can't hear you, guys.
 * Blowy: So, what happened?
 * Black Gem: Captain Red Shell and I just fixed things on our own. *winks * I'd better get going now. There's more treasures to find.
 * Sean Sapphire: Whatever, just get out of here, thief!
 * Black Gem: You're just as disrespectful as that crab. *leaves*
 * Green Shadow: Can we get back to looking out for squid soldiers, please?
 * Sean Sapphire: Yes.
 * Gary Guppy: Good idea.
 * Blue Ocean: I wonder where these two are going.
 * Lemon Glass: I think we're about to find out!
 * Blast: This must be the place where King Squidmir rules. Captain Red Shell told me all about it. It's... Moluskopolis!
 * Pink Angel: That's a lot of squids!
 * Sasuke: Nothing we can't handle. Being underwater is the perfect ground for a water ninja like me!
 * Starcade: Well, I suppose we should continue following those two squids.
 * Red Fork: Let's go.
 * Squid Soldier #2: Hey! Who are you guys? And what are you trying to do?
 * Pink Angel: Well, we're...um...
 * Test Subject Blue: We're not afraid of you squids. In fact, you should be afraid of us!
 * Starcade: Because we're the Locked Room Gang!
 * Kyoji: And we're here for Squidmo and Tentacles. Now let us through, or we'll be forced to take extreme action.
 * Squid Soldier #3: I believe we're the ones who will take extreme action first.
 * Squid Soldier #2: Code Red! I repeat, we have a code red!
 * Squid Soldier #3: Now leave Moluskopolis, or else we'll be forced to eliminate you.
 * Squid Soldier #2: What will it be then?
 * Kyoji: As Captain Red Shell would say, dead fish, or in this case warriors, tell no tales.
 * Starcade: Let's get them!
 * Test Subject Blue: You squids won't stand a chance against us. *fires proton bullets at the squid soldiers*
 * Pink Angel: Look out! Arrow! *fires arrows at the squid soldiers*
 * Squid Soldier #2: So, you choose to attack?
 * Red Fork: That depends. Do you think this is an attack?
 * Squid Soldier #3: Attack!
 * Blue Ocean: We're going to need some thinking here. These squids have shields to block our attacks!
 * Sasuke: Well, they don't call me a water ninja for nothing. Time to show them what water ninjas can do!
 * Blue Ocean: Wait a moment. Can you shoot water when you're underwater?
 * Sasuke: No, but my sickles still hurt like the normal ones.
 * Kyoji: I guess that means their shields are tough to break.
 * Test Subject Blue: None of our attacks seem to work against those shields of theirs!
 * Red Fork: I guess we'll have to find a way to get rid of those shields, or find another way to deal damage to these squid soldiers.
 * Starcade: Hey wait! Kyoji, why don't you try an elemental combo to break the shields?
 * Kyoji: Hmm, it might be tough doing one underwater. We've never done that before.
 * Starcade: Give it a try! It might just work!
 * Kyoji: You're right, I should try it even if I have never tried it before. Takeshi, Sasuke, ready?
 * Takeshi: Ready!
 * Sasuke: Water!
 * Squid Soldier #31: Ah!
 * Squid Soldier #43: What was that!?
 * Kyoji: Perhaps the combo is a little too powerful even for us.
 * Starcade: We have to move on, do we? Plus, the combo worked, I guess.
 * Red Fork: Yeah... *electrocuted*
 * Blue Ocean: That's the thing about using elemental combos underwater. The effects spread in the water. *shivering from the cold*
 * Lemon Glass: *electrocuted and shivering* L-l-let's j-j-just try to m-m-move on, ok?
 * Test Subject Blue: It's a great thing my prototype suit protects me from the elements outside! I don't feel nothing!
 * Starcade: Let's go then...*electrocuted* Ouch!
 * Pink Angel: O-O-Okay...*shivering*
 * Alice: Where could those two squids have gone?
 * Blast: How should I know? All these squids look exactly alike!
 * Blue Ocean: Well, Squidmo and Tentacles are King Squidmir's main minions, so they might have gone to King Squidmir's castle.
 * Starcade: That makes sense.
 * Kyoji: Let's go to the castle then.
 * Test Subject Blue: I wonder if King Squidmir already knows that we're here looking for him.
 * Starcade: Well, if that's true, it won't be a good thing.
 * Red Fork: Let's hope for the best.
 * Blue Ocean: Seriously? Not even Bright Spark has an ego that big enough to build statues of himself!
 * Starcade: Well, we have other villains with statues of themselves, don't we?
 * Test Subject Blue: Plus, one of them IS a statue himself!
 * Starcade: If you're talking about Discord, then I know what you mean.
 * Test Subject Blue: Let's move on. We have no time to stay still admiring those stones!
 * Red Fork: Let's go inside then.
 * Blue Ocean: *pulls the door as hard as he can* It's not opening!
 * Red Fork: Let me try. *pulls the door as hard as he can* It's no use. The door won't budge.
 * Kyoji: I have a feeling that this might be a trap.
 * Test Subject Blue: Well, it looks like King Squidmir already knows we're here.
 * Kyoji: Perhaps we'll have to break down the door. Takeshi, hammer it down.
 * Takeshi: No problem!
 * Blast: Whoa... what is this door even made of?
 * Tommy: Beats me.
 * Blue Ocean: So, what should we do now?
 * Blast: Should we try an elemental combo?
 * Red Fork, Blue Ocean, Alice, and Lemon Glass: NO!
 * Blast: Ok... just asking.
 * Starcade: Maybe there's some other way to open the door?
 * Pink Angel: But it's just a door!
 * Test Subject Blue: Well, if we can't use an elemental combo, what can we use to break the door?
 * Starcade: How about a ramming attack? Red Fork is good at those.
 * Red Fork: That's not a bad idea. I'll try it!
 * Alice: It's no use Tommy. Get out of the way for Red Fork to ram into it.
 * Tommy: Ok. *gets out of the way*
 * Red Fork: Ready to roll! *runs towards the door*
 * Alice: Wait a moment...
 * Alice: Guys, it's not locked! It just opens by pushing, not by pull...
 * Alice: *on Red Fork's face* Red Fork!
 * Red Fork: Alice! I can't see where I'm going!
 * Alice: Why don't you just stop then?
 * Red Fork: I'm going too fast! I couldn't stop even if I wanted to!
 * Alice: That makes no sense!
 * Red Fork: I know!
 * Tentacles: Shiver me timbers!
 * Squidmo: What in the seven seas was that?
 * Alice: Red Fork! We're falling!
 * Red Fork: I don't need to see to know that! Hey, why don't you get off of my face?
 * Alice: You're the one who rammed into me!
 * Red Fork: Well, don't you have something that can help us?
 * Alice: Hm... let's see... *opens her backpack, and takes out a tennis ball*  Nope... *takes out a ten-feet-tall ladder* Nope...
 * Red Fork: How does that even fit in your backpack?
 * Alice: Cartoon logic, I guess. That would also explain why we haven't hit the ground yet.
 * Red Fork: True... wait a moment, aren't we supposed to be underwater?
 * Alice: Yeah?
 * Red Fork: So why don't we just swim back to the rest of the gang?
 * Blast: Wow... who would've guessed?
 * Alice: Seriously, no one thought of pushing the door instead of pulling it?
 * Blue Ocean: *shrugs*
 * Starcade: Well, Red Fork's ramming attack counted as a push, I guess.
 * Kyoji: Let's go in before we land ourselves in another accident.
 * Takeshi: Right behind you!
 * Alice: We have to hurry! I think I saw Squidmo and Tentacles upstairs!
 * Blue Ocean: Well, I guess we'll have to get up there as fast as we can.
 * Test Subject Blue: Now that's a lot of stairs!
 * Sasuke: Even if we're underwater, this is tiring!
 * Starcade: Hey, can't we just swim up instead of climbing the stairs?
 * Blast: I guess so.
 * Blue Ocean: It's still going to be a long way up, though. Luckily, I have the solution for all our problems!
 * Red Fork: What is it?
 * Blue Ocean: It's a Speed Potion! *shows a bottle with a blue liquid inside* Patent pending.
 * Kyoji: I don't know if it's a good idea to use it. We might land ourselves in another accident like Red Fork did earlier.
 * Starcade: But there's no time, Kyoji! We have to hurry!
 * Kyoji: I just want to ensure that we're safe, that's all.
 * Blue Ocean: Don't worry, I've got the antidote potion too. *shows another bottle with red liquid inside it* All we have to do is take a sip from the speed potion, run for a couple of seconds, and then take a sip from the antidote potion. Ok?
 * Starcade: Let's do it!
 * Pink Angel: Full speed ahead!
 * Kyoji: *sighs* Fine, I'll take some.
 * Tentacles: What if those "gang" guys reach us?
 * Squidmo: Come on, spongehead! This is floor 90! They'll take ages to...
 * Squidmo: I stand corrected.
 * Tentacles: Uh... how did they do that?
 * Blue Ocean: With the power of science!
 * Test Subject Blue: We've climbed 100 floors of the Nitrome Towers before! 90 floors is nothing in comparison!
 * Starcade: And now, we're going to stop you two!
 * Squidmo: Of course not! Tentacles, let's stop these air-breathers!
 * Tentacles: But... there's more of them than us.
 * Test Subject Blue: Of course there are!
 * Pink Angel: We'll stop you two!
 * Starcade: Let's see how well you two will do against us. Ready? Fight!
 * Tommy: Aah! I can't see anything!
 * Blue Ocean: What happened to the lights?
 * Blast: Can we still fight them?
 * Red Fork: Sure we can!
 * Blast: Those two took advantage of the situation to escape!
 * Kyoji: Wait, how did the lights even go out in the first place?
 * Takeshi: No idea.
 * Kyoji: Well, it doesn't matter now. We have to find them again.
 * Red Fork: I think I have a good idea of where they went. *points towards King Squidmir's throne room*
 * Starcade: That must be King Squidmir's throne room!
 * Kyoji: Let's get a move on then.
 * Squidmo: Fortunately, we managed to escape.
 * Tentacles: Yeah!
 * King Squidmir: I see. So those air-breathers are in this castle?
 * Squidmo: Yeah...
 * King Squidmir: And just when I thought things couldn't be worse... At least I hope the attack to the Crab Empire is successful.
 * Tentacles: Yeah, that!
 * Squidmo: So, what do we do now, your majesty?
 * King Squidmir: Desperate times require desperate measures. I want Dr. Shelly to be here immediately! I'm planning to restore the Gold-o-Matic!
 * Squidmo: Yes, sir.
 * Tentacles: Uh... what's the Gold-o-Matic?
 * Knig Squidmir: *facepalms* It's the machine we used to turn goldfishes into gold!
 * Tentacles: Oh, right!
 * King Squidmir: I need Dr. Shelly. I need him to change the configurations of the Gold-o-Matic, so that it can also turn those pesky air-breathers into gold as well!
 * Squidmo: Yes, your majesty. We'll get Dr. Shelly here as soon as we can.
 * King Squidmir: Good.
 * Pink Angel: Turn us into gold? But why?
 * Test Subject Blue: For treasures, of course! What do you think gold is for?
 * Starcade: Squidmo and Tentacles are exiting the throne room! Let's get them!
 * King Squidmir: Oh, not so fast, Locked Room Gang.
 * Blue Ocean: But, how?
 * Blast: Wow, physics...
 * King Squidmir: It's the new security system I installed. Marvelous, isn't it?
 * Red Fork: Oh yeah? Think again, ink-face!
 * King Squidmir: Good try. That cage won't budge. Now stay in there and wait until some squid soldiers take you to the dungeon.
 * Pink Angel: I bet that'll st-ink!
 * Test Subject Blue: Terrible joke, Pink Angel.
 * Pink Angel: Oh, sorry.
 * Starcade: You won't get away with this, King Ink-Brain!
 * King Squidmir: I'm King Squidmir. Even those pesky crabs are more respectful than you!
 * King Squidmir: Take them to the dungeon.
 * Squid Soldiers: Yes, your majesty.
 * King Squidmir: Once Dr. Shelly has my machine reconfigurated, I'll be able to turn them into gold. They won't be abl to cause me any more trouble once they've been turned into treasure! Goodbye, Locked Room Gang!
 * Tommy: What do we do now?
 * Alice: I'm not sure, Tommy. I guess we'll have to hope the other stop King Squidmir.
 * Squid Soldier #1: There.
 * Squid Soldier #2: Let's go tell the king we've finished our task.
 * Pink Angel: I guess that's why we're called the Locked Room Gang. We always end up in locked rooms!
 * Test Subject Blue: Again, a terrible joke, Pink Angel.
 * Pink Angel: Sorry...
 * Test Subject Blue: Don't do it again.
 * Starcade: So that means, we'll have to hope that someone comes here to rescue us and stop King Squidmir?
 * Blast: So what do we do in the mean time?
 * Tommy: *starts singing, wearing jails clothes* ♪Nobody knows, the trouble I've seen♪
 * Blast: Where'd you get those clothes?
 * Tommy: *shrugs*
 * Test Subject Blue: I hope the others will arrive soon. We can't be stuck here for long!
 * Sean Sapphire: You did it, captain. Good for you.
 * Green Shadow: Well, there aren't really any squid soldiers we've seen. Yet. We're still keeping an eye out for them.
 * Captain Red Shell: Good.
 * Blowy: I wonder how the others are doing.
 * Sean Sapphire: What are we waiting for then? Let's go find them!
 * Red Ruby: It's time to go blow up...oh right.
 * Amelia Amethyst: So, where's Moluskopolis?
 * Captain Red Shell: Coconut Crab can take you guys there.
 * Coconut Crab: Me? But captain, aren't you going to come?
 * Captain Red Shell: I must stay here, in case the squid soldiers come to invade. If I know King Squidmir, this could all be just a strategy of his to get his army into the Crab Empire.
 * Starry: Well... that makes sense.
 * Captain Red Shell: You guys will go to Moluskopolis and check on how the others are doing. I'll stay here in case the squid soldiers come to invade.
 * Coconut Crab: Yes, captain.
 * Starry: Let's get going, then.
 * Coconut Crab: Follow me, gang. I'll take you guys to Moluskopolis.
 * Sean Sapphire: Good luck by yourself again, Captain.
 * Green Shadow: I suppose we should get moving.
 * Diana Diamond: Let's follow Coconut Crab to Moluskopolis.
 * ???: Captain Red Shell!
 * Captain Red Shell: What? Not you again...
 * ???: Did you miss me?
 * Captain Red Shell: Just return to Moluskopolis, Calamara. Your father is going to be worried.
 * Calamara: Oh, of course not! He's too busy planning the invasion to this place to care at all!
 * Captain Red Shell: *rolls his eyes* Just go home, seriously. It's too dangerous here.
 * Calamara: I just wanted you to know that the squid army is coming. They're going to be here any minute.
 * Captain Red Shell: Why are you telling me this?
 * Calamara: To help... You know, you're the coolest custacean my eyes have ever seen.
 * Captain Red Shell: Please Calamara, you should go home.
 * Calamara: And leave you here alone? No way! I'll be by you side... forever!
 * Captain Red Shell: Calamara, I'm not playing. Leave now.
 * Calamara: Oh, come on, captain!
 * Captain Red Shell: Get going, Calamara.
 * Calamara: Ok... but can I return later?
 * Captain Red Shell: Just go, please.
 * Calamara: *rolls her eyes* Ok, then.
 * Captain Red Shell: I thought I had gotten rid of that squid last time.
 * Black Gem: So I see you've got a girlfriend.
 * Captain Red Shell: What?! How did you get here? I thought you had already left.
 * Black Gem: I decided to stay around. After all, with an army of squids coming this way, I'd rather be behind walls than in the open sea.
 * Captain Red Shell: Well, for your information, that pesky Calamara isn't my girlfriend. She's King Squidmir's daughter. She's nicer than her father, but does she really have to follow me around like that?
 * Black Gem: I wouldn't blame her. You're pretty nice, to be a smelly crustacean.
 * Captain Red Shell: *sighs* Just don't try to steal the treasures, alright?
 * Black Gem: Of course not. I'm here mostly for my own protection. Without Dark Shadow around, I can't risk myself to get into problems with an army of angry squids.
 * Captain Red Shell: If they find you in here though, they'll think you're part of my team, and they might even send you to the dungeon with the rest of us.
 * Black Gem: You may be right. Those squids would be capable of locking us all into a dungeon. I can only imagine what that would be like. Locked together, 24/7. Can you imagine that?
 * Captain Red Shell: *blushes, and then reacts angrily* Listen, Black Gem! I'd rather be in solitary confinement than with you!
 * Black Gem: Don't get so excited, captain. I'm just saying that King Squidmir won't go easy on us. Believe me, I don't like the idea of being locked up any more than you do.
 * Black Gem: But if we do get locked, I hope we two share the same dungeon. You do look cute when you're angry.
 * Captain Red Shell: *even angrier* Stop it, Black Gem! Or I'll kick you out of the Crab Empire!
 * Black Gem: Temper, Red Shell, temper.
 * Captain Red Shell: This is it. The squid soldiers are here.
 * Black Gem: Good luck captain. I'll go make sure they don't take the treasure.
 * Captain Red Shell: Oh, no you're not! You're staying here where I can keep an eye on you.
 * Black Gem: *rolls her eyes* Whatever you say, captain.
 * Gary Guppy: Yikes, this place is huge!
 * Starry: Not to mention, very well guarded.
 * Sean Sapphire: *looks at the statues of King Squidmir* This guy is full of himself!
 * Red Ruby: You might even say he's a fool!
 * Diana Diamond: Enough messing around, you two. Let's find the others and fast.
 * Green Shadow: They have to be around here somewhere.
 * Gary Guppy: I guess the best idea is to break into the city! *grabs a bomb, but notices the fuse isn't on* Huh?
 * Starry: We're underwater, genius.
 * Gary Guppy: Oops! Silly me!
 * Blowy: So, how are we going to go in there?
 * Green Shadow: You mean the city?
 * Gary Garnet: Perhaps it'll be wise if we just swim ABOVE the gate? I still don't understand why those squids never thought of that.
 * Everyone else: *facepalm*
 * Starry: Why does no one ever think of that?
 * Gary Guppy: Because logic is an illusion?
 * Starry: What the? Never mind, let's just do it.
 * Blowy: It's the enemy! *hides behind Coconut Crab*
 * Toby Topaz: Yikes!
 * Sean Sapphire: Oh great, more squid soldiers!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Forcefield! *raises a forcefield in panic*
 * Squid Soldier #14: Attack!
 * Diana Diamond: Those shields of theirs aren't breaking!
 * Amelia Amethyst: I can't say the same for my forcefield!
 * Diana Diamond: We need to finish them off with a strong attack.
 * Gary Garnet: Like summoning the Legendary Rainbow Gem?
 * Diana Diamond: Exactly!
 * Gary Guppy: That might work.
 * Squid Soldier #12: Continue attacking! Let none of them escape!
 * Amelia Amethyst: They've destroyed my forcefield! It's going to take too much time before I can activate another!
 * Red Ruby: We have to transform, now!
 * Diana Diamond: Let's do it then!
 * Green Shadow: Cool! It's been a while since I've seen the Legendary Rainbow Gem in action.
 * Rainbow Gem: What seems to be the problem underwater, ma'am?
 * Green Shadow: Squids! They're attacking us!
 * Rainbow Gem: Leave it to me.
 * Rainbow Gem: Excuse me, you squids, can you kindly stop attacking the group over there? I will appreciate it if you shall settle this dispute the friendly way, thank you very much.
 * Squid Soldier #12: Eek! Who's that?
 * Squid Soldier #13: Uh... we'd like to solve things the good way, believe us, whoever you are.
 * Squid Soldier #12: Yeah, but they're the ones invading the city! Please understand, we're only doing this to protect our city!
 * Green Shadow: They're lying! Don't believe them!
 * Rainbow Gem: *to the squid soldiers* Well, what if I told you I'm the combination of those seven gemstones you saw earlier?
 * Squid Soldier #12: We... we don't know!
 * Squid Soldier #13: We really wish we didn't have to attack anyone!
 * Squid Soldier #12: Just, tell them to not invade our city, please!
 * Squid Soldier #13: We only want peace! We've already had enough trouble fighting the Crab Empire before. We don't want more enemies invading our city.
 * Rainbow Gem: Are you sure? If peace is what you want, then rest in it.
 * Squid Soldier #12: No fair...
 * Rainbow Gem: Consider this as a favor, I'm giving you peace so that you won't have to attack them anymore. We have settled this friendly after all, and I appreciate it. It was certainly nice knowing you, but I shall be going.
 * Sean Sapphire: So, we've dealt with those squids. Let's move on.
 * Gary Guppy: Got it.
 * Gary Garnet: And this time, swim above the gates!
 * Green Shadow: To the castle, here we come!
 * Blowy: Uh, guys... I think we have company.
 * Squidmo: Octo-pults, fire!
 * Red Ruby: Time to blow up...oh, right.
 * Toby Topaz: Timber!
 * Gary Garnet: Toby, seriously? Those are stones!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Stones? Oh no.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Phew. Close one.
 * Sean Sapphire: Let's hope we don't hit rock bottom.
 * Squid Soldiers: Catch them! *they continue to chase the gang*
 * Coconut Crab: Move along, gang! I must stop these squid soldiers cold!
 * Amelia Amethyst: That's way too many stones!
 * Gary Garnet: Well, Red Ruby's explosives are very powerful but ineffective underwater. Hence, allow me to do the next best thing.
 * Blowy: Oh no...
 * Amelia Amethyst: I need some time before I can activate another forcefield again.
 * Gary Garnet: Allow me to get to those squids.
 * Gary Garnet: How idiotic. What makes you think rocks can break my armor? Let's see if you can break these.
 * Gary Garnet: They're gone? But where did they go? I better swim back to the others first!
 * Coconut Crab: Oh my. Those squids must be smarter than they look.
 * Gary Guppy: Well, at least we got them out of the way.
 * Starry: Yeah, good job, Gary!
 * Gary Guppy: Thanks!
 * Starry: No no, I was talking to the other Gary.
 * Gary Guppy: Oh...
 * Gary Garnet: You're welcome.
 * Green Shadow: Let's move on to the castle. Coconut Crab, could you lead the way?
 * Coconut Crab: Certainly.
 * Gary Guppy: So... many... stairs!
 * Toby Topaz: That's a long way up!
 * Gary Garnet: *facepalms* Haven't I taught you anything?
 * Starry: Well, it's still a long way up anyway.
 * Gary Garnet: This is pretty advantageous since we're underwater. We don't need flight to access any location easily.
 * Sean Sapphire: Hopefully we can find King Squidmir and the others soon. Things are getting more intense by the minute. Anything can happen!
 * Diana Diamond: You're right, we probably should speed up.
 * Amelia Amethyst: Hmm...let me try something.
 * Gary Guppy: Woo-hoo! *swims upwards at a fast speed*
 * Starry: Hey, Gary! Wait up!
 * Gary Garnet: I'm pretty sure that spell affected everyone, not just the other Gary. *swims upwards at a fast speed as well*
 * Green Shadow: Let's catch up with them. We will have no idea where they're headed if we don't catch up with them now.
 * Starry: Well, at least we made it to the top.
 * Coconut Crab: Come on, we have to see what's going on.
 * Coconut Crab: *whispers* Come on, it's safe!
 * Toby Topaz: *whispers* What is he eating?
 * Amelia Amethyst: *whispers* I hope it's not our friends...
 * Starry: *looks closely at the food, and whispers* Nah, that's salmon.
 * Red Ruby: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's ambush him while he's defenseless!
 * Amelia Amethyst: But he's only eating salmon...
 * Gary Guppy: I'm with Red on this one. Let's show him what we've got!
 * King Squidmir: *clapping sarcastically* Brilliant job, guys! I barely knew you were there! Until Red and Gary started yelling. That ruined your stealthy approach.
 * Starry: *with sarcasm* Way to go, guys...
 * Gary Garnet: That wasn't me!
 * King Squidmir: *facepalm* The other Gary, you idiot! *points at Gary Guppy*
 * Amelia Amethyst: Well, king, we weren't planning anything of that sort. We actually wanted to see if you would let us join you in your feast.
 * Red Ruby: Yeah, we're totally not planning a stealth attack at all!
 * King Squidmir: Do you expect me to believe you, after you broke into Moluskopolis, defeated my squid soldiers, and invaded my castle without permission?
 * Gary Guppy: Uh...
 * Amelia Amethyst: Yes. We are the good guys after all. All we want is to join you in your feast peacefully. *smiles and winks*
 * King Squidmir: Then why did I hear Red yell, "Let's ambush him while he's defenseless!"?
 * Red Ruby: What?! How could you accuse me of saying that? I'm pretty sure I said, "Let's ask him whether or not we can join him in his feast!" That's all!
 * King Squidmir: Hm... if you say so.
 * Starry: So, are you going to leave us out?
 * King Squidmir: Of course not. You took down dozens of squid soldiers. But here's some food. *gives them fish*
 * Starry: But why the cage?
 * King Squidmir: To remind you that next time you want to come by for a feast, all you have to do is ask me, and not knock out twenty squid soldiers. *returns to his throne*
 * Gary Guppy: No fair!
 * King Squidmir: What now?
 * Gary Guppy: Can we have salad too?
 * King Squidmir: *rolls his eyes* Sure... *gives them salad*
 * Gary Guppy: Yeah! Now this is a feast! *eats*
 * Blowy: But what are we going to do about the cage?
 * Red Ruby: Blow it up? But we're underwater!
 * Green Shadow: We'll need a better approach. *thinks for a while* Hmm...I know!
 * Starry: Well, it was a good idea.
 * King Squidmir: So, you want to break out of that cage? I guess I have no choice but to send you to the dungeon.
 * Gary Guppy: Whoa!
 * Starry: No!
 * Blowy: What do we do?
 * Gary Guppy: Ask them if they want to join our feast?
 * Starry: *facepalm*
 * Gary Guppy: No! Please don't! I'm too crazy to go to jail!
 * Green Shadow: I suppose I can't break the cage after all.
 * Red Ruby: I could've blown it up, but we're underwater.
 * Toby Topaz: *crying* Not jail again!
 * Red Ruby: Are you serious right now?!
 * Diana Diamond: Well, Toby does have a huge list of fears. I wouldn't be surprised that he's scared of what is going to happen. *to Toby* Calm down, Toby. We're all here with you.
 * Toby Topaz: I know, but I'm also afraid by the fact that you're trapped in here with me. I would feel way worse if any of you gets hurt...
 * Diana Diamond: It's alright, we'll stick together. Like best friends and gemstones alike.
 * Toby Topaz: Okay...I'll try...
 * Sean Sapphire: Shouldn't we try preventing ourselves from going into the dungeon?
 * Starry: How do we do that?
 * Gary Guppy: I've got an idea.
 * Blowy: What kind of idea?
 * Gary Guppy: Watch this.
 * Gary Guppy: *imitating King Squidmir's voice* You idiots! Let them out of the cage this instant!
 * Squid Soldier #24: *looks around* Your majesty?
 * Gary Guppy: *imitating King Squidmir's voice* Yes, it's me! Your king! Now let those innocent visitors out of that cage! It's an order.
 * Squid Soldier #24: Uh... ok?
 * Red Ruby: That was crazy!
 * Green Shadow: Now, shall we go find the others?
 * Starry: Yeah. Where do you think they'll be?
 * Green Shadow: Let's check out the dungeon first. You never know if they might have been captured by King Squidmir.
 * Starry: Yeah, let's go.
 * Blowy: Uh.. where is the dungeon?
 * Coconut Crab: Follow me.
 * Green Shadow: Alright.
 * Takeshi: Hey guys!
 * Test Subject Blue: Could you get us out of here?
 * Starry: We'll do our best!
 * Gary Guppy: I'll blow up the door!
 * Blowy: Gary, we're still underwater, remember?
 * Gary Guppy: Oh... right.
 * Green Shadow: Allow us to settle this real quick. Diana?
 * Diana Diamond: Yes, Green Shadow. Gemstones, let's get to work!
 * Gary Guppy: Cool!
 * Tommy: We're free!
 * Starcade: Thanks for coming back for us.
 * Green Shadow: No problem.
 * Red Ruby: Now then, we have King Squidmir who's going to turn into calamari when I meet him. Let's go get him!
 * Gary Guppy: Let's go!
 * Starcade: Now where was that throne room again?
 * Green Shadow: We have that covered. Coconut Crab, lead the way.
 * Coconut Crab: Let's go!
 * Coconut Crab: I just hope Captain Red Shell is doing ok.
 * Sean Sapphire: He'll be fine! He's one of the toughest warriors in the Red Crystals, isn't he?
 * Kyoji: That may be true, but anything can happen.
 * Amelia Amethyst: We should be near the throne room, right?
 * Coconut Crab: Yes, we are. We're almost there.
 * Black Gem: Not bad, captain. Not bad at all.
 * Captain Red Shell: We have to make sure they don't get to the palace. Emperor Cornelius is there.
 * Black Gem: Emperor who?
 * Captain Red Shell: Emperor Cornelius, the emperor of the Crab Empire.
 * Black Gem: Oh, got it.
 * Captain Red Shell: You're new, aren't you?
 * ???: New? I'm the greatest soldier from King Squidmir's army! But of course, you wouldn't know about it, would you? You probably weren't even born when I was the general of King Squidmir's army!
 * Captain Red Shell: It doesn't matter. I will stop you this instant.
 * ???: Please. If Captain Red Shell couldn't stop me, you won't be able to do so either.
 * Captain Red Shell: Excuse me? I'm Captain Red Shell.
 * ???: *laughs* Oh, really? You don't look a thing like the Captain Red Shell I met.
 * Captain Red Shell: Well, get ready. This will ba decisive battle!
 * ???: I doubt it.
 * ???: I knew it. Once the true Captain Red Shell was dead, they couldn't find anyone nearly as good to take his place.
 * Black Gem: What is he talking about?
 * Captain Red Shell: Nothing.
 * ???: But of course, what could be expected from such an incompetent crustacean as ol' red?
 * Captain Red Shell: How dare you irrespect him like that! He was the best warrior the Crab Empire ever had!
 * ???: I see. So much, that he died to mere humans?
 * Captain Red Shell: They contaminated the sea!
 * Black Gem: What's going on here!? I'm confused.
 * ???: Nothing, you air-breather. Get lost.
 * Captain Red Shell: Black Gem!
 * ???: That'll teach her.
 * Captain Red Shell: I've had enough of you. You come to invade my home, you insult the honor of the crab I admire the most, and you hurt my friend?
 * ???: What are you going to do about it? I'm General Squidian, the fiercest warrior of the seven seas! And you're just a small crab.
 * Captain Red Shell: I will defeat you! I will not allow you to continue this any longer!
 * General Squidian: Go ahead. I dare you.
 * General Squidian: Just look at you! I can't believe you're the best substitute they could find for ol' red!
 * Captain Red Shell: I will let you know, that he chose me as his succesor himself!
 * General Squidian: Then he had low standards.
 * Captain Red Shell: Enough! I won't allow you to continue insulting my bro... I mean, the previous Captain Red Shell.
 * General Squidian: What did you say? Are you actually his little brother? Now it all makes sense!
 * Captain Red Shell: Enough of this!
 * General Squidian: So when Captain Red Shell died, he actually chose his little brother as his succesor? That's pathetic.
 * Captain Red Shell: *furious* You're pathetic!
 * General Squidian: Look at you. You're a shame for your own kind.
 * General Squidian: Now it's time to send this crustacean right where his big brother is.
 * Black Gem: Captain!
 * General Squidian: It doesn't matter. We'll see each other again. And when that happens, that crustacean will be dead meat.
 * Black Gem: That was close. I must take you with your friends. I wonder where they are...
 * Coconut Crab: We made it to the throne room.
 * Red Ruby: Now what?
 * Amelia Amethyst: Let's "ask" him to let us join his feast!
 * Blast: What?
 * Alice: Uh... guys... I think we should be careful. Look!
 * King Squidmir: Thank you for coming Dr. Shelly. I need this machine to be reconfigured so it doesn't only work on goldfishes, but also on every other kind of living being. Ponies, humans, gemstones and plants alike.
 * Dr. Shelly: Huh? That's very complicated, your majesty.
 * King Squidmir: I don't care how long it takes, I need it to turn anything into gold. It's the only way I'm going to get rid of Captain Red Shell's friends.
 * Dr. Shelly: Yes, your majesty.
 * Gary Garnet: They want to turn us into gold!
 * Toby Topaz: But why?!
 * Red Ruby: Now who in the right mind wouldn't want gold?
 * Toby Topaz: Good point, but what do we do?
 * Coconut Crab: I'm not sure. If we step into the room, we might get trapped again.
 * Blue Ocean: What the?
 * Red Fork: Don't make noise!
 * Blue Ocean: Sorry! *answers the call* Hello?... Black Gem!? What are you... Oh no...
 * Blast: What? What is it?
 * Blue Ocean: We're in King Squidmir's castle... No! Don't bring him here! It's too dangerous... Ok, we'll send a few gang members over there. Thanks for the help. *call ends*
 * Blast: What was that all about?
 * Blue Ocean: It was Black Gem. She said that the squid army is breaking into the Crab Empire. A large squid soldier called General Squidian severely injured Captain Red Shell. They need help, and fast.
 * Sean Sapphire: I knew it! Captain Red Shell needed help all along!
 * Green Shadow: Question is, who will go help him? Some of us will still have to stop King Squidmir.
 * Sean Sapphire: Leave it to us. We'll help Captain Red Shell.
 * Coconut Crab: I must go too.
 * Gary Guppy: But, who will guide us around?
 * Red Fork: Well, I'm not an expert in the underwater cities, but I can at least keep us from getting caught.
 * Blue Ocean: I've got GPS on my water-proof cellphone. It should come in handy.
 * Coconut Crab: Ok. Red Fork, Blue Ocean, you two will stay in charge. Gemstones, let's go help Captain Red Shell.
 * Blast: Good luck guys.
 * Amelia Amethyst: See you guys soon!
 * Coconut Crab: Where is Captain Red Shell?
 * Sean Sapphire: You again? I thought you were gone, thief!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Wait, she has Captain Red Shell with her. He looks pretty badly injured.
 * Toby Topaz: Yikes.
 * Sean Sapphire: What's going on, Black Gem? What did you do to Captain Red Shell?
 * Black Gem: Is that how you thank me for saving Captain Red Shell from certain death?
 * Coconut Crab: Black Gem, what happened?
 * Black Gem: Captain Red Shell was attacked by a squid who called himself General Squidian. He fought Captain Red Shell, and said things a previous Captain Red Shell who was supposedly much stronger. I didn't understand any of it, but that despicable squid almost killed Captain Red Shell! I had to step in and save him before he was killed.
 * Coconut Crab: General Squidian? Oh no...
 * Toby Topaz: Another Captain Red Shell? There's two of them?
 * Gary Garnet: She said "previous", weren't you listening?
 * Toby Topaz: Oh.
 * Sean Sapphire: Out with it, Black Gem. If you're telling the truth, then where is this supposed "General Squidian"?
 * Black Gem: He's in the Crab Empire, attacking it with the other squid soldiers.
 * Coconut Crab: That can't be good. I've heard about General Squidian. He used to be the greatest warrior from King Squidmir's army. If he's back, that definitely means trouble.
 * Sean Sapphire: He's in the Crab Empire, huh? Well, let's go and see how "great" that squid-head truly is. Oh, and he's going to pay for this.
 * Diana Diamond: I suppose we should get going.
 * Coconut Crab: Let's go.
 * Sean Sapphire: There's no way we can get past these critters!
 * Amelia Amethyst: Looks like we'll have to help the crabs.
 * Emma Emerald: You mean fight for them?
 * Amelia Amethyst: Yes.
