The end

I tried to not think about Archimedes being gone. He was just an evil robot that used me to find Atlantis; he never really cared about me. Instead of just mopping around the beautiful city, I thought I would try to take my mind off of him by playing with the baby kraken. We were tossed a ball back and fourth for a while and each throw of his became stronger and stronger. I was having a lot of fun, but eventually they started to almost hurt. I suggested that we took a break because I was getting tired. The baby then called me a pansy; the first word the baby had said was the first name that Archimedes called me while he was carrying the egg. This made me snap, I was about to start balling, and then out of no where he showed up. He swam to me as fast as he could, and then he hugged me. I was so excited to see him again. He apologized for leaving in such a rush, he was just worried about his creator. He told me that he had started his journey to save his life because he was sick, and the chalice of youth was at Atlantis. He saved his creator and shortly after realized he did not want to be evil any more so he came back to stay with me and our friends. THE END

We finally made it!

We started to look around the city. It was beautiful. We ran into Walter and the kraken and it's baby. It had been only been a few day's but I could tell that the baby has gotten much bigger. We all began to happily chat and Archimedes began to emit cheesecakes. We all started digging in, but as soon as we looked up after devouring the cheesecake Archimedes wasn't in site. I had just made my dream a reality, but within the blink of an eye, it had turned into a nightmare. I had no idea where he had went, but then I remembered that he was created for evil and he never told me his reason behind searching for Atlantis. This made me worry. He was my best friend, and he left without even saying good bye. I didn't know if I'd ever get to see him again or if I'd ever find out why he left, but at least I am finally at Atlantis, and i go have some great friends here with me.

The darkness

We began to swim towards Atlantis. It seemed like we had been swimming for a while, I couldn't tell how much progress we have actually made. The further we got, the dark everything seemed to be. I thought this was odd because I assumed that Atlantis would be a happy and bight place. Out of no where, we were attacked. Spinning wheels of color zoomed by us. We started looking around to see where it came from and we saw a mermaid. She looked like Amy, but she was different. She was dark, Amy was always surrounded by light. And then she attacked us again. We weren't sure what to do to avoid the color wheels of death. We both had a feeling that it was Amy, but something had gone wrong and she had lost her goodness. The only think we could think of to do was to hug her to see if it brought her light back. It did. She began to giggle and the darkness disappeared. Atlantis shimmered in the bright light.

The boat

We swam up to the nets to try to free the fish. The nets were stronger than we expected them to be. I couldn't bite through them, the kraken couldn't rip them, and Archimedes couldn't even break them with his lasers. We didn't know what to do. We all tried to think of more ways to break the net, I tired using my fins, and the kraken tired using her beak, but that didn't work either. And then I remembered,  we had the fish scales. I puled them out and gave them to the kraken, she held them with her tentacles and started to spin quickly in order to sharpen them against some rocks on the ground. Thankfully it worked. We cut the nets and all of the fish swam to their freedom. The kraken was really happy with us. The fact that we were more concerned to save the fish rather than to destroy the boat was the real test. There was a compass inside the net that she gave to us. This compass was special, instead of pointing north, it points towards Atlantis. We finally have an actual direction to head in.

Humans

The kraken, Archimedes and I started to look for the fishing boat that she wanted us to stop. As we looked for it, she started telling me about how evil all humans are. I didn't know what to say because I knew nothing about any humans other than Archimedes creator. Archimedes truly cares about his creator, but he didn't know much more about other humans. He began to stand up for his creator, but he soon realized that he is evil, therefore he did not have much to argue about. The kraken just smirked and kept swimming. Some awkward and silent time past by, and then we found the boat. It was big, and it had many nets coming off of it with many fish caught in them. I could see why this upset the kraken so much and why she wanted us to come help. How could human's do this? They truly must be evil.

The final task

The baby's crying seemed never ending. I tried to comfort it but nothing seemed to work. The crying seemed to get louder and louder. I could see something swimming towards us from the distance. As it got closer I could see that it was another kraken. It must have been the mother kraken who heard it's baby's cry. The mother kraken was HUGE and hideous looking. She told us that she had been waiting for her egg to hatch so she could find us for a long while. She wanted to give us one final task in order for us to prove our worth of finding Atlantis. We have done so well with being peaceful towards the other sea creatures, but she wanted to see how far we would go for the lives of others. She wanted us to join her to attack a human fishing boat.

The kraken

The sea horse, Walter, introduced himself to us.  We started to chat about our adventure, and to our surprise, he knew a thing or two about Atlantis. He used to work with Amy, which is also how he developed a love for cheesecake. He told us that he the kraken, a huge, ugly, and vicious octopus like creature, holds the key to finding Atlantis. I was unsure of how to react to this. I didn’t know what a huge monster had to do with Atlantis. As we were chatting and trying to figure things out, the egg hatched. A baby kraken came out of the egg, and along with the baby came some goo that broke the bond of the magical yarn tying us together. Now we knew why Amy gave us an egg, but what are we supposed to do with a baby kraken and to top it all off, it began to cry.
