Smolder Man and his best friend Jack had just finished a fight against the Fire Morians. They were in Glenarm, on the coast of Northern Ireland.

Their lab was deep under the sea so they walked to the beach where they met a dolphin. The dolphin let them ride on its back to the whale (which wasn’t actually a whale, but in fact a submarine disguised as a whale). The whale used its blowhole to fire them into the underground lair.

Smolder Man and Jack parked the submarine in an underwater dormant volcano. Big metal doors opened into their lair. There was a big shark (which wasn’t really a shark but a megalodon with a camera on its head) swimming around the outside protecting them. There was one big window looking out at the sea. The lab was full of test tubes. The test tubes were full of undiscovered creatures of the sea. 

“I really want to get to see my family on the other side of the world,” Smolder Man said to his best friend Jack. “How are we going to make a transportation device to get there?” 

“Why don’t we go down to the cafe and talk about it there?” replied Jack.

So they went down the stairs to the secret cafe and ordered brownies, two cups of tea and a plate of calamari (because they were under the sea).

The person behind the counter looked just like Smolder Man and Jack.

“Do you know, you look just the same as us?” said Jack.

They had just sat down when something hit the submarine...
