"Ever since getting to know about things like dragon spirits and potions from my mate Magico, I think I've started to notice that some villains mainly from video games are starting to receive unknown help, effectively making them MUCH more dangerous!

Take the beginning of this year, the two of us were going on a normal day together when we started noticing the sky turning dark and a storm about to brew... except Magico had this sinking feeling and took me home and managed to find the source of the trouble with his magic. He decided to go to the Sunken Temple, but I convinced him that we would need help since going alone wasn't a wise idea.

He agreed with me and we managed to find at least 4 friends of ours to come with us in the form of Benny, Skipper, Rashaad and Tate! Lucky thing for us that my mate also had a special power up for us to transform into merman-like forms. After that, we all swam down to an ancient city that had sunken by now.

We all managed to get familiarized with our merforms enough to get around the temple and soon reach the main chamber... to which our surprise we encountered Lord Fredrik! Was he responsible for this? Whatever his evil plan, we intended to stop him and stop him we did! At least... we thought we did.

He soon got back up basically telling us that the real fight was just getting started as he procured a strange looking potion and drank it! We didn't know what trick he had up his sleeve as he soon jumped into the water, but soon rumbling started... And to us, it was frightening.

We had to escape back to the surface otherwise we would've been crushed! We managed to, but soon while we were breathing sighs of relief... we heard sounds of splashing as tentacles started popping out of the water! And that wasn't the worst part...

The worst part was seeing Lord Fredrik coming out of the water holding a magical trident, growing bigger and bigger by the second until soon he stopped and was bigger than us! We were all shocked by the sight of him as he soon spoke, telling us that now he was the Lord of the Stormy Seas and that there was nothing we could do to stop him as a storm started to rage, making the skies dark as lighting crackled throughout the clouds and the water waved around violently to which we were lucky to be able to maneuver through with ease!

This time, we were in for a serious fight as we all knew that we had to stop him! We did everything that we knew would be able to work and yet fighting against a gigantic opponent is tough! We needed to come up with another plan... but soon we all felt a tentacle wrapping around us tightly, even one lifting Rashaad above the water just to demonstrate that no one would be able to stop him!

Just looking up to see Fredrik, Lord of the Stormy Seas in the storm with those glowing eyes of his not only filled me with intimidation... but also with a bit of rage and determination as I and the others tried our best to squirm out of the tentacles that wrapped around us!

Just don't think you've won Lord Fredrik... we WILL get out of these tentacles and kick your HUGE butt until you're sleeping with the rest of the fish in the deep blue sea!"
