Plot
''After all the time he's been with the Locked Room Gang, Captain Red Shell is now used to life on land just as much as in the sea. He's faced powerful foes such as Captain Blowhole and Payton Piranha, and with the help of the rest of the gang, he's improved as a warrior and as a friend. 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. When Captain Red Shell discovers his old enemy attacking Echo Creek just as he once did in the past, not only does he need to stop King Squidmir again, but also has to confront a few dark moments from his past.

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.
 * 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.
