High-Paced Battle
The Rigordile rode the waves, using its streamlined form to its advantage. The Bundle Flea sat on its back, hissing as they neared the Lava Turtles. The Lava Turtles were busy resisting the waves, preventing themselves from tumbling and rolling over like a piece of log.
The Hunter Clams shaped their jelly-like tentacles into paddles of all shapes to row the water and balance the Lava Turtles. Even then, the River Whale's repeated churning of the waves disrupted them each time.
Now, without any extra burden to carry, the River Whale could move at its usual speed, revolving faster and faster as the height of the tides increased, reaching as high as four metres. The currents in them grew stronger while faint wind accompanied them.
