And they were off. The second leg of Kamek and Jr’s journey truly began as the captain’s vessel set sail out on the endless sea. While the aged Kamek quickly hunkered down in a spot away from the seaspray and wind, Jr initially rode the front of the ship, claws holding tightly to the banister of the ship as the wind and saltspray blowing in his hair. Mimikyu was forced to hold on tight lest her cloud-like body be blown away, looping one arm under and around jr’s neckerchief/bib to do so.

Despite the wind, both boy and mon eagerly took in the sights of the high seas and the refreshing sea breeze. It was a pleasant change from the Land of Adventure, though the dark clouds hanging over what had to be the Bottomless sea reminded any who saw them that this land likely held as many if not more dark terrors hiding out here than they had found in the shifting fields of the land they had just cleared. 

Just when the sights of the sea and the islands floating atop it were starting to grow stale something new swam into view. Jr pulled himself upwards and hung over the edge of the ship a little in order to watch the myriad of fish schooling around the ship swim to and fro. At the mention of fishing from he captain Jr pushed himself back down onto the deck, causing Kamek (who had been about to pull the dangling boy back to sensible safety) to stumble back and away from him in surprise.

[color=SpringGreen]”oh! oh! I’ve got something just for this”[/color] Jr said as he quickly brushed past the mage, who was in the process of picking himself back up, and headed for his clown car. After rummaging around in its hammer-space interior for a few moments he pulled out a [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/warframe/images/7/70/FishingSpearT3Peram.png/revision/latest?cb=20171027150839]fishing spear[/url] he’d gotten on their first day in Lumbridge from a loot box.

[color=SpringGreen]”Bet you i can fish way better with this cool thing than you can with those rods!”[/color] jr said, as he hefted the spear and strode towards the edge of the ship.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”May I make just two suggestions young master? One, you might like to get  a rope so you can get that thing back,”[/color] Kamek said, causing jr to pause right before hurling the spear into the ocean.

[color=SpringGreen]”Yeah, I knew that. I was just testing the weight is all”[/color] Jr replied, before going and borrowing the same rope that had been used to haul Sakura out of the ocean. 

As the boy tied the the rope through a hole at the end of the spear Kamek continued [color=DeepSkyBlue]”and might I suggest that we turn this a game?”[/color] he suggested, thinking back to several fishing minigames he’d had people play while running Mario parties [color=DeepSkyBlue]”see who can catch the most, biggest and most interesting fish?”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]”Sounds good. Coz I bet I’d win”[/color] Jr replied, despite having never spearfished before.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Anyone interested? Perhaps to make it more interesting the winner could have the first claim on the spirit of the region’s boss once we acquire it?”[/color] he added. Prizes always made contests more fun and exciting in Kamek’s opinion, and what better a prize than one he didn't have to personally finance. A lot of the troops’ remaining money had gone into grocery shopping, which was, Kamek realized, still sitting in the Bowser mobile which itself was still sat on the approach to where the End used to be. A somewhat inconvenient location for a bunch of perishable goods. 

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”I’ll have to deal with that in a bit”[/color] Kamek muttered to himself, before putting the issue to one side and turning his attention to the bit of the ship being used or fishing, where Jr was lining up his first throw. With little finesse he hurled it at the sea the sploosh startling the fish and failing to hit anything.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Perhaps you should stick to the rod young master? I think you’ve used one before after all”[/color] Kamek suggested, only to be brushed off by Jr, who hauled the spear up and had another failed go at it. The mage left the young prince to it with a shrug, and instead turned his attention to the other fishers to see how they were doing.
