Although he should had known better than to chase willy nilly after a strange glowing treerat, the challenge was clear and could not go uncontested.  [color=007236]Mr. L[/color] is the greatest jumper of [color=0054a6]Count Bleck[/color]'s minions!  Sure, [color=ed1c24]O'Chunks[/color] can throw people the furthest and [color=82ca9d]Mimi[/color] can turn an enemy's own tricks against them, but the burly man is an idiot and the tiny girl is all surface-showy stuff.  The less said about [color=bc8dbf]Dimentio[/color], the better.  [color=ec008c]Miss Nastasia[/color] has much better things to do than any of those things and the Count himself?  ...  Well, now that L thinks about it the Count doesn't exactly have any legs so he can't jump but he doesn't [i]need[/i] to.

One of the downsides to being the highest jumper is that physics... does not exactly agree with him.  His speed is swift but that means he's a little too slick and slowing down must be timed just so so he doesn't do exactly what he did and take a tumble down a pit.  This is all the rat's fault!  If it wasn't such a brazen thing, Mr. L wouldnt've had to chase it!  It is only with practice born from countless worlds, both the lost worlds of his past and the remembered of his much more recent history, that let him catch his breath and not lose himself to the waves.

After a bit of reorienting himself under the lake's surface, Mr. L swims up to the surface.  The first thing he sees is... well, honestly?  Water.  It is absolutely drenching his hair and pouring down from his hat.  The next thing is what looks like Dorrie coming his way!  (wait, who?)  But... no, that's definitely not a plesiosaur.  In fact its not a creature.  It looks like a boat.  Well, far be it from Mr. L to cry out for help like some weak willed wimp.  Instead he immediately starts swimming to it.  Sure it seems to be under attack, but it's closer than dry land.

As soon as the boat and the thief start to close the gap, Mr. L realzies they're not alone in the water.  At first glance it looks like another boat.  The metallic sheen and similar shape does not help for some worlds tend to have themes, perhaps the theme here is animal-shaped ships?  But to his surprise and annoyance it is a creature.  And Mr. L is completely lacking in fire power... in Fire Flowers, that is.  He could try unleashing that stupid Thunder-spark of his but that's just begging for trouble when he's absolutely drenched and in the same body of water as the skinny water-dragon.  Mr. L picks up his speed, hoping to reach the weird boat before it can wreck the ship.  Worst case scenario, the thief has a brief respite to catch his breath before fleeing the ship.
