The beach was now a battleground, and the group faced the towering Kraken. With their Cannons at the ready, Risebelle and Runebelle unleashed a barrage of energy blasts, striking the Kraken's tentacles and causing it to roar in pain.

  Roselle’s eyes darted nervously between the looming Kraken and Kintovar. She took a deep breath and turned to Kintovar. “Dr.Kintovar, what about my Cannon? I need it to fight this thing.”

  Kintovar’s face fell with a look of regret. “I’m afraid I didn’t have enough time to fully repair it. Everything happened so quickly, and we had to prioritize other matters.”

  Roselle’s heart sank. “So, what do I do now? I can’t fight without it.”

  Kintovar placed a hand on Roselle’s shoulder. “We’ll have to make do with what we have. I’m confident in your abilities, even without the Cannon. Use your skills and work with the others.

  The Kraken, despite its massive size, possessed powerful magical abilities. It retaliated with a fierce counterattack, unleashing a surge of dark energy from its central mass. The energy formed into a concentrated beam of inky blackness, aimed directly at the group.

  Kintovar and Haras dove out of the way and narrowly escaped the cascading wave. Roselle, Risebelle, and Runebelle struggled to defend themselves against the magical assault.

  Risebelle attempted to take aim and fire, but the Kraken manipulated the surrounding water, creating a massive wave that surged towards them. The powerful flood swept everyone off their feet, dragging them into the sea.

  Haras struggled to stay afloat and Kintovar reached out to her, keeping her head above water. Meanwhile, Roselle, Risebelle, and Runebelle found themselves submerged.

  Roselle resurfaced and gasped for air. She was followed by her sisters.

  Roselle growled in frustration while wiping seawater from her eyes. Risebelle and Runebelle, called out to her. “Roselle, over here!”

  Roselle swam towards them, fighting against the current, and they all managed to scramble back onto the beach. Risebelle turned to Roselle. “We need to combine our powers. Use your lightning to empower our Cannons.”

  Roselle nodded. She placed a hand on Runebelle’s back, then on Risebelle’s. She focused, summoning her yellow lightning, and channeled it through her sisters. Sparks crackled around them, and their Cannons hummed with newfound energy.

  Runebelle took aim at the Kraken. Her quick shots struck the creature. Each impact caused arcs of lightning to dance across its massive body. The Kraken roared in pain. It thrashed its tentacles in a wild frenzy.

  Risebelle switched her medium-sized Cannon to burst mode. The weapon glowed with an intense yellow light as she unleashed explosive shots at the Kraken. Each burst landed with a powerful detonation, sending shockwaves through the air and further weakening the monstrous sea creature.

  The Kraken, reeling from the combined assault, struggled to maintain its ground. Its tentacles flailed, trying to ward off the relentless barrage, but the sisters pressed on.

  Roselle watched as their combined attacks pushed the Kraken back. "It's working!" she shouted.

  Roselle decided to try something different. She moved her arms up, gathering energy, then thrust them down like a hammer. A fan of yellow lightning burst from her hands arcing towards the Kraken and caused it massive damage. The creature let out a deafening cry. The creature began to sink back into the sea.

  But just when they thought they had the upper hand, the Kraken's eyes turned a menacing red. A sinister red glow enveloped its body, and suddenly, all of their lightning attacks ceased to have any effect. The electrical energy fizzled out upon contact, leaving the Kraken seemingly impervious to their assault.

  Roselle’s heart sank. “No! Why isn’t it working anymore?”

  The Kraken, now reinvigorated, rose from the water with renewed strength. Its tentacles lashed out violently, creating waves that crashed onto the shore.

  Risebelle, gritting her teeth, yelled, “What do we do now?”

  Kintovar shouted to the others, "We need a new plan! Your traditional way of attacking won't cut it here. Think outside the box!"

  Roselle thought of a way to combat the Kraken's control over water, she decided to experiment with her unique abilities. Focusing on her yellow lightning ability, she attempted to harness it to walk on the water's surface. However, her first attempt failed, and she found herself sinking beneath the waves.

  Haras retrieved her Elemental Rifle - "Haras' Catalyst." She adjusted the settings on her Catalyst, choosing an elemental mode that she believed could be effective against the Kraken right now. With a deep breath, she aimed and fired a focused shot at the water around the Kraken, hoping to disrupt its control over the waves.

  The shot struck true, causing ripples in the water and interrupting the Kraken's dominance. The Kraken roared in pain and fury.

  Kintovar acted quickly, tossing her skyborne bombs into the air. They hovered menacingly above her, awaiting her command. With precise timing, she used her grappling hook to snatch one of the bombs from the air and aimed it directly at the Kraken.

  The bomb streaked through the sky, its destructive payload ready to explode on impact. Kintovar's precise aim ensured that it struck the Kraken's massive body, causing a massive detonation that sent shockwaves through the water. The Kraken shrieked in agony.

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  Kintovar’s eyes lit up with realization. “Aha! Just as I thought. This creature’s type must allow it to avoid taking damage from lightning attacks, but fire will still work on it.” She watched the aura around the Kraken vanished. "It's vulnerable now! Everyone, fire!"

  Kintovar, seizing the opportunity, shouted, "Attack now!"

  Runebelle was the first to respond, firing rapid shots from her small cannon.

  Risebelle adjusted her cannon to explosive mode, charging her shot with explosive energy. She then unleashed a devastating explosive blast that struck the Kraken with tremendous force, causing a fiery eruption on impact.

  The combined assault from Runebelle and Risebelle hit the Kraken with a powerful barrage of energy and explosives, causing the creature to bellow in pain.

  Timmy's sudden scream pierced the chaos of battle, drawing the group's attention. They turned to see the young boy, terror-stricken, pointing at something beyond the Kraken.

  The Kraken attempted to retreat back into the depths of the ocean. Just then, a colossal, shadowy figure rose from the water. It was another sea creature, even more massive than the Kraken, with a dark and ominous presence. It appeared to be a Leviathan, a legendary and ancient sea serpent.

  The Leviathan's eyes glowed with a white light. It began to move toward the group, its intent unclear but undeniably menacing.

  The sudden appearance of the Leviathan sent shockwaves through the group. They couldn't believe their eyes.

  Roselle stared at the Leviathan. The appearance of the ancient sea serpent left her both astonished and terrified.

  Risebelle was shocked. She quickly adjusted her cannon, ready for whatever threat this new creature posed.

  Runebelle remained calm and focused. She prepared to face the unexpected sea serpent

  Haras clenched her Elemental Rifle. Kintovar seemed unfazed by the Leviathan's appearance, though her scientific curiosity was piqued by the ancient creature.

  While the Leviathan drew nearer, the group noticed something astonishing. Atop the colossal sea serpent was an unconscious girl in a swimsuit.

  Timmy pointed towards the girl and exclaimed, "That's my sister, Osana!" The girl was unconscious, seemingly unharmed, on the back of the Leviathan. Osana's skin was a warm, sun-kissed brownish hue, which contrasted beautifully with her curly, dark hair.

  The Leviathan gently lowered Osana onto the beach, then retreated back into the depths of the ocean. The group quickly gathered Osana with concern for her well-being.

  Timmy rushed to his sister's side, shaking her gently and pleading, "Osana, please wake up." However, there was no response from Osana. Her form remained still, and she didn't stir.

  Kintovar quickly stepped forward and knelt beside Osana. She checked for signs of life, placing a hand on Osana's chest to feel for breathing. After a few moments, her face grew somber.”She's not breathing."

  Kintovar began performing CPR on Osana, applying chest compressions to stimulate circulation. The group watched anxiously.

  Kintovar continued with chest compressions. At the same time, she said, "Haras, prepare your Elemental Rifle. We might need to use electrical stimulation if traditional CPR doesn't work."

  Haras nodded and readied her Elemental Rifle in elemental mode, ready to provide electrical shocks if necessary.

  After several cycles, Kintovar paused briefly to assess Osana's condition. There was still no response. Kintovar decided to give rescue breaths, tilting Osana's head back gently to open her airway. She sealed her lips over Osana's and exhaled, watching for any signs of chest rise.

  After a few seconds, Osana suddenly coughed up water. She sputtered and gasped for breath. Her eyes blinked open. Timmy's worried face transformed into one of immense relief.

  Osana weakly turned her head and gazed at her little brother, Timmy. She managed a faint smile and whispered, "Timmy... I'm okay."

  The group surrounding her let out a collective sigh of relief. Kintovar and Haras helped Osana sit up, making sure she was stable and breathing properly.

  Haras offered her a water bottle to help rinse out the taste of seawater. Osana took a few sips, slowly regaining her strength.

  The group turned their attention back to the Leviathan, but It had apparently went back to the sea.

  Kintovar looked at Osana and asked, "Are you feeling okay now? What happened out there?"

  Osana took a deep breath and replied, "I remember being on the beach with my family, and then something pulled me into the water. It was like a nightmare. I couldn't breathe, and everything went dark."

  Timmy clung to his sister, his eyes still filled with fear from the near-loss of his sibling. Osana comforted him with a hug, reassuring him that she was fine now.

  Osana's eyes widened with a sudden realization. She cried out, "Oh no! My parents are still down there, and Molly... Oh god….Molly is..!”

  The group, now deeply concerned, surrounded Osana, offering their support. Timmy clung to her, sharing in her sorrow and fear. Kintovar gently placed a hand on Osana's shoulder and asked, "What happened to Molly, Osana? We need to know."

  Osana took a deep, shuddering breath. She managed to find the words to explain, "Molly, she... she didn't make it. The Kraken... it got her. She's gone."

  The group stood in solemn silence, processing the devastating news. Timmy began to sob uncontrollably.

  The group's faced mirrored Timmy's grief. Roselle, Risebelle, and Runebelle exchanged concerned glances. Haras and Kintovar were momentarily at a loss for words.

  Timmy’s sobs eventually began to quiet down. Amidst the haze of his grief, a memory pierced through his sorrow—the last words Molly had said to him: "What's the matter, Timmy? Can't handle a little swim? Ugh, you’re such a baby."

  In his mind, Timmy pictured Molly’s teasing smile. The image of her teasing him, despite its harshness, ignited a spark within him. He recalled her challenge and realized that he wanted to prove her wrong, to show that he was capable of more than she had given him credit for.

  Determined, Timmy wiped his tears and looked up at Osana with newfound resolve. “I’m going to find them!” he declared. Before anyone could stop him, he sprinted towards the water’s edge.

  “Timmy, wait!” Haras called out, but Timmy was already diving into the ocean, disappearing beneath the waves.

  Roselle's heart pounded with worry. She to the group, "I have to go after him!" and, without further delay, she dove into the water.

  Risebelle and Runebelle exchanged glances filled with concern.

  Timmy descended into the deep depths of the ocean. He was confronted with a heart-wrenching sight. His mother, Oakley, with her curly brown hair flowing like seaweed, was tied up, struggling against the Kraken's grasp. His father, Henry, a big and round figure with short brown hair, fought valiantly to free her from the creature's clutches. But time was running out, and Henry was about to run out of breath.

  The menacing Kraken closed in on them, and a wave of fear washed over Timmy. However, something deep within him stirred, a newfound strength that surged from his core. His anger over what the Kraken had done to Molly transformed into raw energy.

  Timmy, for the first time in his life, began to manifest this newfound power, and the water around him swirled with energy. His eyes glowed with an intense light.

  "You took Molly from me," he seethed. "I had so much I wanted to show her, and you took that away."

  The Kraken paused. It’s tentacles twitched as if it sensed the shift in the water's energy. Timmy raised his hands, feeling the raw energy coursing through him.

  Roselle caught up with. She watched in amazement at the tremendous power he was unleashing.
