“OOoo” mocked Blister. “bleh!” Burn grumbled. “I prefer squid” he muttered. Blaze rolled her eyes and bared her teeth at Blister. Meanwhile, Blackie, Orange Head, and Reptide were swimming. Suddenly Reptide glimpsed something from across the Mockingdale Reef where most of the soldiers trained. Orange Head muttered, “I’m so hungry” but Blackie heard it with his ears pricking up. He dived down and grabbed some seaweed from the ocean floor which was whirling in a circular sort of way. Reptide made a move that told Orange Head and Blackie to halt. Then he said, “we must be near a whirlpool. No one sounded the whirlpool alarm yet I guess… hmm, shall we go down…?”. Then Reptide dived head first into a giant red button – pressing it with his horns which were light grey with a blue hue. Orange Head and Blackie looked very confused / puzzled but Blackie figured it out. “You’re sounding the alarm because of a whirlpool…?” Blackie enquired. “We’re near the coastline, which means the surface.. didn’t you see the long tunnel we swam through as we were going up here?” Reptide lectured. “And the unusual way of the water twisting here? I wonder why no one has sounded the alarm yet..!”. “Hmmm… there must be something that happened to stop the alarm from sounding”, Orange Head guessed. “Perhaps” Reptide quipped.
