[wind blows]

[thunder rumbles]

It's the worst storm

I've ever seen.

My dad said the winds

are galeforce nine.

It wouldn't be good

to be at sea.

Today was the day I was

supposed to watch Byron surfing.

He surfs every day.

You'll have other chances.

[sighs]

[rumbling]

Oh! [whimpers]

[yells]

This darn storm! Even underwater

there's no escape.

Can't a crab catch a break?

You're right.

Even down here it won't let up.

It's making me seasick.

Yes, you're right. My inner self

is quite shaken up.

I think this calls for

a little meditation.

[Rikki]

I was starting to miss this.

Now we can stretch our legs

a little.

Well, I mean our fins.

[all laugh]

[laughs]

Hi there, girls.

How about a jumping contest

just to prove

that we're still the best?

[all laugh]

Look out. It's my dad.

Dive. Quick!

Whoa, that was a close one.

My dad says the boat went

straight onto the rocks.

The captain just completely

lost control.

How could he have lost control?

It was a fishing trawler,

not a motorboat.

Exactly. Apparently all the

navigation instruments

stopped working

at the same time.

Does anyone know why?

My dad says that recently

lots of boats stopped working.

- Some even disappeared.

- [Abby] Read this.

"Dolphin City,

the new Bermuda Triangle."

It's on the front page

of all the papers.

- Finally something exciting.

- The Bermuda Triangle?

An area in the Atlantic Ocean

where lots of boats and planes

disappeared

without any logical explanation.

I'm writing an article

for the school blog.

Cleo, I'm listening.

What do you know about all this?

Me? Why ask me?

I don't know anything.

Mm-hmm... Don't try and tell me

your dad didn't tell you

anything about this.

- But he didn't.

- [sighs]

So what's this all about,

anyway?

"To this very day, scientists

are still debating

the mysterious Bermuda Triangle

that has claimed so many victims

over the years."

"It remains to be seen

whether Dolphin City bay

is doomed to

the same dark fate."

More fairy tales to sell

a few more newspapers.

Yeah, no kidding!

[Cleo] Hey, Emma,

Byron's coming.

- Hey, guys, what's up?

- Hello, Byron.

- Hi.

- Hello.

Emma, can I talk to you

for a moment?

[both chuckle]

Hmm... Looks like

a romantic rendezvous.

So we lift off

and then fly up real high...

[Rikki] What are they

talking about? [laughs]

OK, so what did he want?

He's been offered

a parasailing ride for two

and he needs a partner,

so he asked me.

Wow, cool! That's amazing.

Just the two of you alone in the

clouds. It'll be super romantic.

It'll be nothing at all

because I turned him down.

What? But why?

Haven't you ever seen

parasailing?

They land in the water.

Byron! If you need a partner

to go parasailing with,

- I'm available.

- Hmm...

Whoa, what's all this?

And as is the case in what is

known as the Bermuda Triangle,

all of these events remain

at present a total mystery.

If Dolphin City starts

attracting too many journalists,

you can say goodbye to your

little underwater excursions.

I think we better find out

exactly what's going on.

And since nobody knows what's

happening with all these wrecks,

we figured that maybe you, with

all your wisdom, might know.

Yes, you were right

to come and see me.

[chuckles]

Uh... Well?

What do you think she's doing?

Could she be meditating?

- OK, so?

- What?

- Do you know anything or not?

- About what?

- All these shipwrecks.

- Oh, yes, that.

Ah. Yes, yes, maybe.

I do remember an old legend.

It claimed the serpent of light

will come down

from the other world.

Transparent stones

will wake up from their sleep

- and bring chaos.

- But what does it mean?

The answer lies within you,

my children.

I hope I was able to help.

Uh... hmm.

Great, that certainly

was a big help.

What do you think

she was talking about?

- What other world?

- Think.

Another world for a manta ray

could be the sky or even land.

What could

the serpent of light be?

Hmm...

Could it be lightning?

Like during that storm

a few days ago.

The lightning could have woken

up the transparent stones,

- but what could they be?

- We can't spend three days

trying to figure out the riddle.

We'll just go see Berny.

Maybe he'll understand

what it all means.

Hmm, it vaguely rings a bell.

When I was little

there was a legend like that

about mysterious magic crystals.

Crystals? Of course.

Crystals are transparent.

They've got to be

the transparent stones.

Suppose that's what

the riddle means,

but how are we gonna

find these crystals?

I think I might have

the solution.

[Rikki] Then what are we

waiting for?

OK, here, stop.

[Zita] Terminus!

- Here we are.

- [Rikki] What do you mean?

Your cave? That's your solution?

Absolutely! When Berny's

in town, no need to frown.

I'll find what you need

in no time at all. You'll see.

Now, what have we got here?

[mutters] Maybe this...

- It wouldn't be this, would it?

- Hmm...

OK, fine, understood.

I'm just warming up.

- And how about these?

- Uh-uh.

- Maybe it's this?

- No, no, no and no.

Then how about this?

Oh. Darn.

There isn't much else left.

- Here. Could it be this?

- Uh...

A broken mirror? Let me see.

Berny, it's nice of you to try,

but how is this broken mirror

going to help us

find the crystals? [gasps]

- [Berny] What?

- [gasps]

What did I tell you? With

Berny in town, no need to frown.

[Rikki] Come on, let's go see.

No need to thank me either.

I tell you, kids today.

- OK, let's go, Zita.

- Uh-huh!

What have we here?

They sure seem to be in a rush.

Let's follow them.

There, look. The crystals.

- Rikki, wait.

- What?

Don't touch them.

If it really is because of them

that the boats disappeared,

then the crystals

could be dangerous.

We didn't come here

just to stare at them.

[chuckles]

They're stuck. They must have

been here for a long time.

- They're calcified.

- Emma, I've got an idea.

Try freezing them.

They might break then.

Alright, I'll try.

It isn't working. It's like

my powers don't work on them.

Let's go. There's nothing

we can do here.

We've got to go tell Lewis.

[sniggers] Did you hear that?

- We need those crystals.

- Yeah! Uh, what for, boss?

Try thinking for a change,

chowder-head.

With them,

our boat troubles are over.

No need to worry about

fishing nets anymore.

Yeah! The mermaid's right.

So h-h-how are we g-g-g-gonna

get hold of them?

So I've decided, in order to

reassure my fellow citizens,

to launch

an underwater expedition

to try to determine the causes

behind the shipwrecks.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

This is Carla Rubin

for Channel 5.

The bay will be crawling

with divers soon.

We've got to get

those crystals first.

Girls! Have you seen Abby?

I thought she could write

a story about Byron and me.

We're going parasailing

together, just the two of us.

- What, Byron and you?

- Sure, Byron and me.

He was really eager

for us to do it together.

I think he's got

a bit of a crush on me.

- Well then, bye!

- Just ignore her.

She'll say anything

to try to sound interesting.

What a pain in the neck

Miriam is.

We can't let her

do that to Emma.

We've got to think of something.

I've been researching and I've

found references to the crystals

in quite a few legends,

especially those about Atlantis.

The legends speak of

an unknown metal, orichalcum,

that the crystals are made of.

That's what makes them radiate

an energy field.

Don't you get it?

It's the energy field

that makes trouble

for boats and planes

in the Bermuda Triangle.

I'm sure it's the same crystals

in the bay.

Then we need to bring

the crystals back on land

and they wouldn't cause

any more trouble.

Mm-mm. It'd be the exact

same problem on land.

The crystals would interfere

with all the electronic objects

around them.

So what can we do?

I need to think about it.

I need to do

more research online.

Where's Lewis? What's he doing?

We've been waiting

for over half an hour.

- Hi, girls.

- [all greet him]

Byron. Do you know if there are

still any places open

for that parasailing? My nephew

really wants to try it.

I don't know,

but I can find out.

OK, super. Anyway, I heard

you were going with Miriam.

Well, yeah,

but how did you know that?

Didn't your trainer

say anything?

Isn't he worried

you might get an injury?

With the surfing competition

coming up, isn't it a bit risky?

I hadn't thought of that.

Hi, Miriam. Call me back

when you get this message, OK?

It's about the parasailing.

I don't think I'llbe able

to make it after all.

Time to make yourself useful,

Dany boy.

Let's see what you can do

with those eight legs.

I'll sh-show those crystals

who's b-b-b-boss, boss.

[strains]

Let go, you overgrown squid.

I can't see a thing!

OK, girls.

I've finished my research

and I'vde found a device that

can create a magnetic field.

It's called a solenoid.

- A what?

- A solenoid.

With that we can

neutralize the rays

given off by the crystals.

It'll make them harmless.

That would get rid of

the nosy journalists, too.

Super, but where are you gonna

get your solo-whatchamathingy?

Hmm. I've got an idea.

Hi there.

- OK if I join you?

- [phone rings]

Sorry.

- Hello?

- Byron, it's Miriam.

I just got your message.

What's going on here?

- You're not going to ditch me.

- Well, I...

You promised!

I arranged everything.

I juggled my whole schedule

to be free. You can't do this!

I know. I'm sorry,

but it isn't my fault.

I see. And when you make

a promise it means nothing.

I thought you surfers

had a code of honor.

OK, stop ranting. Fine,

we'll go together, as agreed.

Super! OK, we'll meet up

at four o'clock

in front of

the parasailing stand.

OK. By the... Hello?

Well, I'm not sure, Lewis.

What if you broke it?

Do you know how much

a solenoid costs?

You haven't told me

why you need it.

It's for an experiment. I'll be

super careful, I promise.

It's not like

you use it every day.

Hmm...

But let's make one thing clear.

You return it tomorrow

without fail and undamaged.

Promise, you can count on me.

You have my word.

[chuckles nervously] Sorry.

Burke, do something, like, now.

The crystals, do something,

anything!

Use your teeth.

Use whatever you want,

but get me those crystals!

Come on, stop fooling around.

It's not that complicated.

[groans]

Are you sure that's a good idea?

He might figure out

that it's you.

I'm not that dumb.

I'll just block my number.

Byron, it's Miriam.

I'm calling because

I won't be able

to go parasailing.

My doctor has absolutely

forbidden it.

Oh, yeah? Nothing serious, I

hope? Your voice sounds strange.

Duh! Why do you think

I went to see the doctor?

I got a cold. I just wanted

to let you know. Sorry. Bye!

Presto! Child's play.

So, this solar-majiggy thing

is gonna neutralize

the crystals?

This solar-majiggy thing

will transform your magic

crystals into ordinary rocks.

- We'll hook up at the sandbar.

- Alright! See you later.

Think we'll be able to get

the crystals free with these?

We'd better.

Come on, Burke,

you're a hammerhead shark.

What's the point if you never

use the hammer part?

Hammer part?

Burke can make hammer.

[roars]

[Murray laughs]

You really nailed it.

[Burke laughs] Nailed it!

There. Let's do this.

The crystals! Where are they?

They couldn't have

just disappeared.

- Someone has stolen them.

- This is not good.

In the wrong hands they

could cause a lot of trouble.

Thank heavens you're here!

The vandal g*ng

has stolen the crystals.

They're making all kinds of

trouble with them.

[all laugh]

What's up with that boat?

[Abby] Oh!

- What's going on out there?

- The Dolphin City Triangle,

that's what's going on, and I've

got the scoop of the century.

Hey! What the heck is going on,

Byron?

I've been waiting for you

for over half an hour.

But you canceled. Your doctor

said you couldn't go.

What are you yammering on about?

Come on, let's go.

Have you been out

in the sun too long?

[all laugh]

Give us back the crystals!

You bunch of dirty thieves.

What makes them yours? We found

them first. Finders keepers.

Just because

you found them first

doesn't mean

they belong to you,

and technically speaking,

we found them before you did.

Just give us those crystals

and don't argue!

Alright, you want to play rough?

I can play rough too, tough guy.

[yells]

Alright!

Cleo, take care of Dany.

[screams]

Quick, let's get

these crystals to Lewis.

You losers! You've gone

and messed everything up.

Yeah, loser.

Oh, it's going to be super.

And such perfect weather.

Help me on board, Byron.

OK, let's do it.

Have you got the crystals?

It wasn't easy getting them,

but we do.

It looks like the motor stopped.

It must be because of

the crystals.

They're gonna hit those rocks!

- It's Byron!

- What? Are you sure?

Yeah, and that's Miriam

next to him.

[Emma] Quick, Lewis,

get your gizmo working.

What's that moron doing?

Why is he stopping?

Why is he stopping?

Why is he stopping?!

I don't know, but calm down.

Panicking isn't gonna help

anything

and it won't get

that boat moving.

Don't tell me to calm down!

I'm extremely calm!

I can't believe it,

we're gonna crash!

- Daddy, I'm scared!

- Hey, that's my arm.

[Miriam screams]

What's going on?

What's happening?

I have no idea.

[both scream]

Took him long enough.

Why did you have to insist

that we go parasailing?

Next time you ask me on a date,

- I'd prefer to go to a movie.

- What?

Can you imagine the chaos

if we hadn't managed

to get the crystals back

from the vandal g*ng?

Yeah. My dad sure would have

had his hands full.

[Byron] Emma?

Hi. So, how was your parasailing

with Miriam?

It was a nightmare.

The boat had a problem

and she started screaming

like a mad woman. And look.

I didn't think a human being

could do so much damage

- just with her nails.

- Poor you!

Anyway, next time

I hope you can come with me.

I can't stand to be around

that screeching harpy.

[laughs]

This looks like a good spot.

They won't cause

the boats any more problems.

On three. One, two, three.

[all laugh]
