My Adventure v2

One day I was on the Alvin with my parrot Bob. We were going down under the sea. When we got really far down it became pitch black. When I turned on my lights I saw in front of me a lot of weird creatures. They were black and tube-shaped. They were about the size of a basketbal. I called them "mouth monsters" because they had a huge mouth that was big enough to swallow any person's head whole! They were really scary. When they cleared away I noticed something. I noticed many hydrothermal vents. It was then that I knew why these creatures were here. They were attracted to the heat of the vents. Then I heard Bob start squawking really loudly. When I turned around it was too late. The mouth monsters had bitten a hole in the submarine and had eaten Bob. Since the submarine was caving in under the immense pressure I swam out. When I was swimming a mouth monster got hold of my ankle and started biting it. I didn't scream because I knew that I would inhale water.
So I went on until I saw a gooble. A gooble is like a cross between a penguin and a bunny. It looked friendly so I followed it to an underwater house where I could breathe and it transformed into the goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite or Venus. She was beautiful. When she saw the mouth monster she just kicked it off. While she was treating my ankle she told me that I must be careful because the mouth monsters had a poisonous venom inside their bodies that they released when they bit something. If bitten you have only one hour before you start feeling the effects and one more hour until you died. All of a sudden we heard a boom and saw that the god of the sea Poseidon or Neptune had broken into the house.
"I have come to, um, what was I supposed to do again?"
"How would we know?" answered Aphrodite.
"I don't know. I just forgot what I was supposed to do."
"You are so stupid."
"Now I remember. I was gonna kill you. Can you please just fall over and make it look like you're dead. I don't really want to kill you... I can't really kill you anyway because you're immortal. So can you please do that... as a favor, please?"
"Oh fine. Why not? What harm could it do anyway?"
So Aphrodite fell to the ground and stayed there for about fifteen minutes until Poseidon said that it was alright to get up. So Aphrodite got up and slapped Poseidon really hard. He even cried. It was so funny. She said that Poseidon was really mean and deserved to be slapped. So I just stood there and watched Poseidon and Aphrodite have a fight.

Aphrodite won and told Poseidon to leave her alone forever. He said he would never leave her alone while she was under the sea and with that he sat down and never got up until I kicked him. He said ow and threatened to drown me in a whirlpool but Aphrodite said to him that she would tell Zeus about him and Hera if he did. So Poseidon didn't do anything to me. Instead he went outside and killed a mouth monster. Later he told us that he had gotten his orders from the king of the mouth monsters Fred. Fred had told him that he was to kill Aphrodite or face the consequences. The thing is, he didn't understand that gods and goddesses are immortal. So Poseidon told us all about Fred and even told us his weak spot: he is really ticklish on the feet. Fred, unlike all the other mouth monsters, had feet. So they hatched a plan. While I was going to be chased by thousands of mouth monsters, Aphrodite and Poseidon were going to fight against Fred. I was afraid because I was going to be chased by thousands of mouth monsters. But I did it anyway.
Before they left they gave me a pill which made it possible for me to breathe underwater. Then we parted. I closed my eyes and swam forawrd... When I opened them again I was surrounded by thousands of mouth monsters. It was really scary. I swam fast but they swam faster. I kept swimming until I swam into a rock and passed out. I was unconscious for at least 3 hours. When I woke up I was being watched by five mouth monsters and had front row seats to the fight of the century: Fred-king of the mouth monsters vs. Aphrodite-goddess of love and beauty and Poseidon-god of the sea. It was a tag-team battle. Fred was big and uglier than anything I had ever seen before. He was even uglier than ugly. He was just plain hideous. Even ugly itself would run away in fear of the uglyness he emnated. It was hard to even look at him without turning away. Then I heard a shriek so loud that I felt like my eardrums were going to explode. When I finally saw the source of the noise I saw a dying Fred. Next him I saw a very gleeful Aphrodite and a very dissapointed Poseidon. From their countenances I guessed that Aphrodite had given the final blow that had killed Fred and that Poseidon had wanted to kill him. I didn't care who killed him, though, all I cared about was that he was dead and that was that. When Aphrodite saw me she took me back to her house and we had some tea and chicken. But little did she know that Poseidon was a vegetarian... or did she? Either way he was a vegetarian and couldn't eat the chicken. (Aphrodite had disguised his as an apple pie. He loved apple pie.) So when he tried a piece of it he started screaming and puking all over the place. When he was done doing all that stuff he turned toward Aphrodite and tried to attack her but was so weak that he could hardly move his arm. So he just gave up and went outside to puke some more. When he was done doing that he came in and told us that the mouth monsters gathering in large masses to form super mouth monsters. They were even scarier than before.

So we started running for our lives. It was scary because they were really fast and were really big. Then I fell over and when Aphrodite came to help me they went over to Poseidon and ate him. It was disgusting. I mean, there was a half eaten corpse lying on the ground. When we finally got up Aphrodite told me that I needed to find the remains of my submarine and take everything that I could out of it and bring them to her. So I did what she said and brought back the emergency survival kit. She took stuff out and started to build something. It was a cross made out of band-aids! She put it in front of the mouth monsters and they stopped. It was cool! Just like in the Matrix Reloaded when Neo stopped the bullets. We started running while Aphrodite held the cross up behind her to ward off the mouth monsters. We were nearing a light, the light at the end of the tunnel! It was getting closer and brighter when suddenly we were through and in front of us was nothing interesting. We were just running in circles. This was her house. Then we heard the mouth monsters and started running when BANG! I woke up. "Well I just had the weirdest dream..."
