The bears shudder at the mention of Monokuma. "Oh, such a dreadful
bear," laments the tardigrade. "You mustn't mention him!"
"Indeed," agrees the merbear, "a discredit and an embarrassment to
bears everywhere, at sea and on land!"
"Yes, this sea may be big enough for two bears, but not if one of
them is HE!"
The merbear considers the tardigrade's words. "Hmm, *two* bears you
say?" he ponders, giving the tardigrade a scrupulous side-eye. "Do
you truly think so?"
"Now that you mention it, I don't see why not!" admits the
tardigrade, gesturing broadly at the fathomless leagues of ocean all
around you.
"You know what? What is the sky anyway if not a sea made of stars!
The moon could indeed use two bears too, could it not?"
"It could indeed, Brother Bear!"
"Brother!"
The tardigrade and the merbear embrace. If you've never experienced
the eight-armed hug of a water bear, well, then you don't know how
soft and enveloping it is.
"Come, Brother!" cries the tardigrade suddenly. "We must begin our
search at once! For what if there is a third Bear of the Sea yet to
be discovered?"
"Another Brother of ours who doesn't know about us? Oh, I can't stand
the thought!" sobs the merbear.
They swim away hand in hand, paragons of brotherly bear love. "Good
luck and safe travels, interlopers!" calls the merbear to you over
its shoulder. "If you ever end up on the moon," adds the tardigrade,
laughing merrily, "say hello to Hap'n'stance for me!"
Suddenly, a disturbance! A perturbance of bubbles and a rush of
current as massive amounts of water are displaced by inky black
tentacles that shoot up from below! They reach! They grasp! One grabs
the tardigrade around the middle. Another grabs the merbear by the
tail. Both bears cry and reach for each other as they are ripped
apart and pulled down below.
The tentacles grope around in the water, batting at you and
threatening to pull you down too! They grab at your wrists and at
your ankles!
