( chirping )

I'm sure glad you're in

your Mag Knight Dad!

Me too, now help anchor me

with these cables.

Once I measure the strength

of the current

we can launch the remote

mapping pingers.

These instruments will measure

the volume of water



flowing from the melting ice

shelf down into the open sea.

Dad...?

You're sure about this?

Yeah, I should be okay.

"Should" be okay.

Very reassuring.

Will.

You said coming here

would be a nice holiday.

When does that start exactly?

( chuckle )

Well, you have to admit,

Kaiko--



--the world's largest waterfall

is an incredible view.

When you told me this

was bigger than Niagara Falls,

I just couldn't imagine

the world's biggest waterfall

being underwater.

Pretty awesome aye, Jeffery?

I can see why this place

would get a mention

in the 'Chronicle of the Deep'.

A "Curtain of Water"

and a "Great Tunnel".

C'mon - do you really think

there's a tunnel down there?

I have a theory that the tunnel

is hidden behind the waterfall.

I'll feel safer when

we launch the "pingers"

and get back to the Aronnax.

The current's been measured

and the information

has been downloaded

to the pingers.

Okay Ant.

Deploying Remote

mapping pingers.

If that tunnel is down there

they'll find it.

Mom look out!

Whoaaaa!

Auuuggghhh!

( grunt )

Hold on!

( struggling )

( grunt )

I've got you Dad.

( struggling )

Grrrrrr!

Oh no!

Uhhhhh!

Whoaaaaaaa!

Whooooooooaaaaaaa!

My family are explorers.

We have been for generations.

While others look up

to the stars...

...we know there are

an infinite number of things

that shine in the

darkness below.

There are things lurking

in the seas

that long ago

vanished into myth.

My family are explorers.

And we explore...

THE DEEP!



Whooaoaaaaaa!

I can't pull out!

We've fallen a kilometer

already!

What's that sound?

It's like sucking?!

( together )

Aaahhh!

Whhhooow.

Whhhaaaa.

( grunt )

( grunt )

Whoa huh.

Sorry, Mum!

( grunt )

Wooooaaaaa!

( grunts )

( grunts)

Whoa!

And the current just stops?

Why?

Ant? Kaiko?

I'm okay, but Mum took

some big hits!

Kaiko? Kaiko!?

Are you okay?

Say something!

Ugh.

I want a better holiday.

( chuckles )

Okay.

( sigh )

Vitals seem okay.

How're you feeling?

Uh, kind of like I fell down the

largest waterfall in the world

and...ugh, landed on rocks.

Dad!

Lemurian symbol alert!

Definitely Lemurian.

But this is different

from the others we've seen.

You think it means

"big tunnel ahead"?

Wait -

That's it!

But what does it mean?

You said you translated this.

Well - I translated

"Great Tunnel"

and "Great Curtain of water",

and some kind of name --

I don't know, the name of

a household pet?

Hmmm.

What?

Lemurian is hard - okay?

Now - priorities.

Let's figure out how to get you

back to the Aronnax.

( sigh )

I might need a minute -

but seeing as how

we're here,

maybe we should

keep going?

No.

The tunnel can wait until

we're in the Rover

and properly equipped

to explore it.

Jeffrey's acting weird...

weirder than normal that is.

Jeffrey doesn't act weird.

Jeffrey?

Why are you acting weird?

The current's coming up again!

Grab hold of me.

( grunts )

( grunting and struggling )

Kaiko, take my hand, Now!!

( straining )

I Can't!

Reach!

Yes you can, try!

Come on, Mum!

Woah!!

I'll get her.

NO!

No!

WOAH!

( shouting )

Ant! Kaiko!

Ant!

Mum!

( grunt )

Mum! Thrusters.

Use your thrusters!

Whooa!

Noooo!

Dad!?

Ant!

Good.

Mum's gone further

into the tunnel.

She didn't respond to my calls.

Kaiko can you read me?

Okay. Stay put.

But--

That's an order!

As soon as the current eases

we'll come for you:

both of you.

Hope you're hearing this, Kaiko.

Hah!

Okay.

It feels like the current's

easing up already.

Then we'll be with you soon.

Anything that'll identify

your location?

And I've got isopods.

Big ones - just like...

no, too big for parasites.

Awwhh!

Anyone interested

in how I'm doing?

Mum!

Kaiko?

Mum are you okay?

I...I must've passed out

back there.

I'm a bit woozy.

Otherwise I couldn't be better.

Can you tell us

where you are?

Well it's not any kind of

holiday destination I'd choose.

No position data either.

Not surprising down here.

Alright.

Fontaine and I are coming in

to find you both.

Stop!

( Both ) Nereus!?

What are you doing here?!

And what are you wearing?!

I was monitoring The Aronnax's

location!

I was worried you might

be exactly where you are.

Do not go further

into that tunnel!

But Ant and Kaiko

are in there!

Lost!

( grunt )

Then understand:

this is no tunnel.

It's alive!

The tunnel's a...

creature?!

Wow!!

How can you possibly think

this is cool?!

These walls are living flesh!

Yes.

Part of a Giant Sea-worm's

digestive tract.

Awesome!

No, it isn't!

It is awesome -

but not exactly safe.

It feeds off the waterfall.

That's what the current is -

the creature breathes

in seawater

and sucks in food

with every breath.

So we could rescue Mum now,

then find the other end

of this thing,

and wait until Ant

gets pooped out?

If I get turned into poop,

make sure that Fontaine is

the one who has to catch me.

Na...I...I...I don't think

you realize how serious this is.

The longer we're in here,

the more likely we'll wake

the creature.

It's asleep?

If it was awake,

we wouldn't be alive.

Then we'd better not waste

any time.

Kaiko? Ant?

Don't go anywhere.

My feet are stuck in some goo.

I'll try to soften it up

with my laser.

No!

Th-th-that could wake

the creature.

Kaiko, wait until

we get to you.

You need something

to hold you

when the current

comes up anyway,

that goo might be just

the thing.

Roger that.

I've got those isopods, too.

( sighs ) Hope they're friendly.

Euch!

Well I got one that's SUPER

friendly!

( grunts )

I can't get it off.

This guy's slimy, ugly,

and doesn't mix

well with others.

Hey Fontaine!

I've finally found you

a boyfriend.

Ugh.

This from a guy whose

only friend is a fish!

Well that's strange,

they just took off.

I've told you, you need to work

on your social skills.

They're scurrying off here,

too.

The creature's going

to breathe again!

And I've got no way to anchor

us against the current

without agitating it.

Quick, this way!

He knows a "way"?

Come on! Hurry!

( grunts )

( moans )

Wh...whoa!

Come on, Dad!

Up here!

Oh no!

AH!

Grab onto me

with your cables!

( grunts )

Hang on, Jeffrey!

Jeffreeeeeeey!

How did you know this pocket

was here?

It saved me once.

You've been here before?!

Years ago.

The Chronicle records

that the hero, Aiolos

with a group of fellow

Lemurians, found the tunnel...

...But they realized the tunnel

was actually a "Monumential"

when they accidentally woke it

from its 10,000 year slumber.

Whoa!

Eeahh!

Jeffrey!

( grunts )

No!

"Monumential?"

So that's Lemurian

for giant sea-worm?

No.

It refers to a whole class

of creatures.

Roughly translated, it means

"Mega-big".

Ahhh. Misread that.

I thought it was someone's

name and uh...

possibly a pet.

Uh...right.

Only Aiolos survived, and

honoured the others' sacrifice

by writing about it

in the Chronicle.

It did include a warning.

The same warning he posted

outside the tunnel.

That symbol was a warning?

Dad?

I'm pretty sure your Lemurian

isn't as good as

you think it is.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

But I don't need Lemurian

to get Kaiko back.

And that's what I'm doing.

AHHH!

Whaaa!

Ah...uh...oh!

Wh - Ahhhhh!

Huh?

Uh...heh heh.

Hang on mom and Jeffrey!

I'm coming.

The current's subsided.

Let's go find the others.

Leave Jeffrey alone!

Ant?

Mum!

Oh, glad you're here.

There's something wrong

with my knight.

What?

My air scrubbers

must've been damaged.

( grunts )

But that doesn't explain

why my feet are starting

to warm up, a lot!

That goo is eating your suit!

Stand back!

( roars )

( chirps )

Oh! You can't stop.

( roars )

Is this the current

starting again?

Worse.

The creature is stirring.

Our presence is upsetting

its digestion.

If we wake it,

it'll eat even faster -

and more!

( roars )

Okay, that softening it.

Help me out.

That stuff must be some kind

of acid that breaks down food.

Jeffrey?

How did you--

Uh, now Jeffrey,

so your home is destroyed;

we're trapped inside a creature

that wants to digest us;

and Mum's air

is running out...

there's absolutely

no reason--

PANIC!

( grunts )

These things are trying

to tear us apart!

These isopods live

in the dark...

Mom!

Try your lights!

Copy!

Better save power, with

your air scrubbers out,

you'll need it.

We should head back towards

the tunnel mouth.

Okay, but wrestling those bugs

( gasps )

has chewed up more of my air.

Try not to talk, Mum.

Save your breath.

Jeffrey?

Where did Jeffrey go?!

Oh no.

The current's coming back.

Hurry mom, grab something!

Hang on!

And try not to bump

into anything.

Whoa!

( screams )

On no!

Hang on Fontaine.

We're going after him.

( grunts )

( screams )

Dad, stay out of the acid!

Come on!!

( struggling groans )

( grunt )

Everyone, okay?

Dad! Mum's scrubbers aren't

keeping up.

She's running low on air.

Her air is so low

she'll never make it out

against the current.

I'm okay, but getting weaker.

Hang in there Kaiko.

Ah, is that something useful?

The pingers!

What about them?

If the Aronnax is still

communicating with the pingers,

then we could communicate

with the Aronnax.

We could use a remote

control signal...

...to control the Rover!

And the Rover has air!

We'll be able to get Kaiko

out of here!

It's all working.

Engines on.

Will, my suit won't

last much longer.

Will the Rover make it

in time?

It'll make it.

And thanks to the pingers,

it's got this tunnel's

exact location.

Don't worry, Kaiko, you're going

to get that holiday.

There you are Jeffery!

Where'd you go?

More bugs!

Bigger ones!

Kids keep the bugs away

from your mother

while I steer the Rover.

Okay.

I need enough speed to break it

clear of the waterfall

and get to the tunnel.

I'm in, should be alright!

Our lights have no effect

on the isopods.

Ghh, that's impossible,

it worked before!

Huuuh!

Ant!

Woooow!

Ughhh!

Whoa, whooaaa!

( struggling grunts )

Come on!

My brother's room is scarier

than you!

( STRUGGLING )

MUM!

UGGGHH!

Mum!

We need to hurry before she

loses consciousness.

( grunt )

Whoooaa!

I must control the rover.

The creature it's,

it's waking it up.

Jeffery?

Hey the isopods are leaving.

I've regained control

of the rover.

Jeffery?

Isopods?

That's it!

The isopods go into hiding

when the creature is disturbed.

Quick, we're going to have

to fill mom's knight with water.

What?!

Only way to equalize pressure

so mom can get out of it.

I'm ready, fill it.

Time to go everyone.

What are you doing?

Mom's gonna need help once

she's in the rover.

You'll need this rebreather

as soon as you eject

from the knight.

( grunt )

Do it now!

I've got you Kaiko,

we'll be out of here soon.

Ant, you'll need

to move fast.

( gasp )

Mum?

Ahh, Should i give mom

mouth to mouth?

( gasp )

( coughing )

( sigh )

Nice work Ant.

The thought of

mouth to mouth from you

scared mom back to life!

Ant - get ready to roll.

Gotta love the Mag Knight!

Okay, get us out of here!

Er, Will?

Don't worry, Nereus.

We haven't forgotten you.

Whoa, whoa!

Crude - but very effective.

( worried ) Ah!

Has anyone seen Jeffrey?

Don't worry, Ant.

I've taken care of Jeffrey!

Just go!

Whooaaaa!

Woooaaa!

Ant!

Huh?

( grunt )

Agghhh!

Ohhhhhh!

Got ya!

There's the entrance.

It's closing!

( struggling grunts )

Oh no!

Don't worry, I have a plan!

Noooo!

( straining )

( roaring )

What's that noise??

We can't stay around

to find out!

You'll need to go flat out

to get through to the other side

of the waterfall!

What about you?

Don't argue.

Goooo!

Aaaaahhhh!

Huh?

Come on Dad!

Oh, Will.

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!

Will!

( grunt )

What happened?

Um... I think I was

just burped out.

( laughing )

...I don't know if you

should see this Jeffrey

but those pingers mapped the

entire of the giant sea-worm.

What's that tiny dot?

That 'tiny dot' is

the entire Aronnax.

Ha ha!

We didn't wake our friend -

but maybe we gave it

a bit of indigestion.

( sniffing )

( sigh )

Two showers and I still

smell like regurgitated seafood.

Eww!

I think it's time I gave you

some lessons

in ancient Lemurian!

Could you say what

the difference is

between household pets

and terrifying sea monsters?

That would be appreciated!

Nereus - the Lemurians

called creatures like this

'Monumentials'?

That's right.

The Chronicle tells us there

are still many different kinds

of Monumentials out there

in the oceans.

Be ready.

I'm sure you'll soon find

even more.

But not before my holiday!

Are all the Monumentials

this big?

No, no!

Most of them are bigger.
