Are you guys ready for today's adventure? 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: Me too. Let's go Enzoova. We're exploding doing the Pacific 16 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,919 Speaker 1: Ocean on a scuba diving adventure. They kicked their flippers 17 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: and puffed the bubbles through the water from the air 18 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: and their oxygen tanks. Bright colored fish swam the water 19 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: all around them. Whoa look at those yellow ones and 20 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: the orange one. They took turns pointing out different fish. 21 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: As they continued swimming. They swam through some large seaweed 22 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: and into a wall of. 23 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 2: Bright blue Enzo look at the school of fish. 24 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: Nova shouted through the radio in her diving helmet. The 25 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: bright blue wall of fish floated in front of them 26 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: as they swam in place. Enzo spun looking all around 27 00:01:53,480 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: before answering a fish school, where Nova laughed, Not a school, 28 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: A school of fish, it's what a big group of 29 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: fish is called. She swam towards the school of bright 30 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: blue fish, and they wiggled their fins even faster, trying 31 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: to get out of the way, And so swam after Nova, 32 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: chasing the last of the fish away. They were having fun, 33 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: but stopped in surprise when they saw what the school 34 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: of fish had been blocking. The dark mouth of a 35 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: sea cave now stood in front of them. Whoa, said Enzo. 36 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: He swam slowly toward the opening. He shone his underwater 37 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: flashlight inside, and something glittered deep inside the cave. What 38 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: is that? He exclaimed, waving to Nova. She swam over 39 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: and saw the glittering gold, red and purple that was 40 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: reflecting off of Enzo's flashlight. Do you think it's a treasure? 41 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: She asked, and Soo nodded excitedly. YEA, let's go get it. 42 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: Then he swam into the dark mouth of the cave 43 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: and disappeared from sight. Nova hesitated for a moment. She 44 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: was brave and adventurous, but something didn't seem quite right still. 45 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: Nova pulled out her flashlight and followed Enzo. Hold on 46 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: his second friends. Do you think this is like a 47 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: good idea of them swimming into an underwater ocean cave? Oh, 48 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: it sounds a little creepy. I don't know which you 49 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: do it. I don't know if I would as soon 50 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: as both kids disappeared into the cave. Oh, dear, I 51 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: don't know if. Oh, I don't know if I can 52 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: read this next part? Do you want me to say 53 00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: the next part? 54 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: Okay, m Giant tentacles appeard over the cave entrance. 55 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: Jimmy the Kraken was returning from lunch. He had left 56 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: the cave in chase of some tasty fish and was 57 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: back to continued guarding his treasure. No one ever dared 58 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: to enter Jimmy's cave or even come anywhere close to it. 59 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: All of the sea creatures in the Pacific Ocean were 60 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: very afraid of him, and no scuba divers had ever 61 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: explored this far into the ocean before. It was the 62 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: perfect place for him to hide all the treasure he 63 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: stole from pirate ships. Jimmy settled down in front of 64 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: his cave, keeping watch on the fish and whales that 65 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: swam by. Oh there, Jimmy had no idea that while 66 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: he was gone, Nova and Enzo had already gone into 67 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: his cave while he wasn't looking in search of his treasure. 68 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: Nova and Enzo continued using their flashlights to guide them 69 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: around the stalagmites and stalagtites of the cave. They could 70 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: see the bright jewels of crowns and golden bars shimmering ahead. Wow, 71 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: I can't believe they actually did find like underwater treasure. 72 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: That would be so cool. Enzo reached the treasure first 73 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: and began to dig through it. He pulled out a 74 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: pair of boots covered in diamonds. Cool. Then he tossed 75 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: a cup made of gold to Nova. Together, Enzo and 76 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: Nova grabbed as much treasure as they could. When their 77 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: arms could hold no more, they swam back for the 78 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: opening of the cave. Are we going the right way? 79 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: And soo asked Nova. It's so dark everywhere, like, where's 80 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: the opening. Nova's shown her flashlight around, but she couldn't 81 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: find it either. I thought it was this way, but 82 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: there's no light coming from anywhere. Let's keep going, God, 83 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: it has to be this way. So the two kept 84 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: swimming in the direction they had come until they were 85 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: facing a dead end. O way, there wasn't a wall 86 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: here before, Enzo said. He examined it closer in the 87 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: light of his flashlight. Nova, Why is this wall white 88 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: and pink? Enzo poked it, and squishy Nova swam over 89 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: and gave it a closer look. From the top of 90 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: the dark gray cave walls to the bottom of the 91 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: sandy cave floor, a white and pink wall had appeared 92 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: while they were exploring. What is this? Nova wondered Her 93 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: and Enzo both poked it again, trying to figure out 94 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: what it was. This time, the wall moved at their touch. 95 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: Enzo poked it again and it grumbled in response. He 96 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: gave it one Why is he poking it all these times? Like? Uh, 97 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: hasn't he figured out that it's a same monster? Enzo 98 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: poked it one more time, this time very hard and 99 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: a massive tentacle appeared. 100 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: From the bottom of the strange wall, waving around wildly 101 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: towards Enzo and Novaz went away. 102 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: Nova called out to Enzo, but it was too late. 103 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: One of the large suckers on the tentacle latched onto Enzo, 104 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: trapping him. The dentacle began to curl around him and 105 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: pull away back under the bottom of the pink and 106 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: white wall. Enzo Nova shouted. She pounded on the squishy wall, 107 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: trying to follow him. Suddenly, another tentacle appeared. 108 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: Scooping her up and pulling her under the wall as well. 109 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: Oh dear, what in the world is gonna happen to 110 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: Enso and Nova?
