Into Bani Tootia- part 1

It was a cold morning-perfect for rolling in the sand on the beach.  The dragons slowly wandered out into the bitter, frosty air,each holding 3 bamboozledoodlops ("tasty" treats made of lollipops, bananas and peanut butter.)  They tramped through the damp grass, slooooowwwwwlllllyyyyy crunching the hard, lumpy, brown,red and pale yellow rocklike mixture.  The Mary Janie, Buccaca Kiftermont, Jinkas Comobile La Tres, Jinkas Comobile La Bebe, Owa Gofree Dragons Da Russia and Cacapooni Da Italy were anchored to the rocky ocean floor, not far from the mysterious cave Bani Tootia.  The ships belonged to the dragons and their owners, Ruby and Becky. The dragons knew that many people had swum out to where the Bani Tootia was and had disappeared underwater.  Only 2 of 10 surfaced, and when they did they were hypnotized permanently and ran about doing crazy things so that they were locked in a barred hospital.  One percent of 10 managed to control themselves and become normal.  Now they reached the golden beach and sat down. Baby gulped her last bamboozledoodlop and grinned at Chili, Iceberg, Juji, Jonna, Lannie, Botta, Hannie and Hanna. "What should we do?" she asked.  "I don't feel like rolling."  She glanced at Bani Tootia.  "Why don't we go swimming to the ships?" Hannie's eyes filled with fear.  She glanced at the Bani Tootia and said, "No. No! We are not going out to that cave PERIOD!"  "Aw, come on.  I thought you liked reading mysteries!  Why not go on one yourself?" Baby asked.  "We will search the seven seas, chatter our teeth and knock our knees, scream and cry and eat some rye-if we can find it! HA HA HA!  Find what's in there, uncover secrets-BWAH HA HA!  RA HA HA!  Don't lose track of the shore, or you won't be you no more, battle waves and make some graves-for the bad guys!  RA HA HA HA!"  The others joined in, "HA HA HA! BWAH HA HOO! HEE HEE HEE! We will kill the monsters, we will take the best, we won't search for keys-we'll smash that treasure chest!  Maybe gold, some silver, a diamond ring or two, bring it to the girls-RA HA HEE HO HOO!"  "OK, fine.  I'll go with you.  What should I bring along?" Hannie asked.  "Two hatchets, a hammer, the canoe that I made (not exactly a masterpeice), a waterproof backpack full of bamboozledoodlops, and that atlas." Baby said.  Five minutes later, Hannie was wearing a backpack full of food and holding a canoe in the water and heaving a big waterproof duffle bag into it.  Oh, why did Baby always pick on her?! Five minutes after that, the dragons were paddling into the cave.  Water sloshed around them, and Hannie's whimpers echoed like screams in the hollow tunnel.  Suddenly, the water around them rose up and began to shriek.  The entire cave went black-pitch black.  Continued in part 2
