Hello there, fellow sea-lovers! If you've been watching these steady waters closely, you're among the first ones to be invited on yet another under-the-sea adventure. This time, we needed a made-from-steel-and-steam crew to embrace our next journey and its unpredictable fate. And so we called our trusty back up to join us on this journey. Our crew involves the incredible folks from retold, WattpadPunkFiction & classicauthors. Are you intrigued enough to know which direction we will sail?
What was that? Aye, Captain? Okay, let's start then. Everyone gets on deck! Captain's orders!

This time, we will dive exactly Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. Sounds familiar? We hope it does because your knowledge of this classic will surely come in handy while helping us fight those frightful sea creatures. Welcome aboard the famous Nautilus! There's no going back now...

The Nautilus—technological pride of Captain Nemo—is exploring the dark depth of the Unknown Ocean when suddenly the alleyways are blinded by the alert lights and deafened by the blaring alarm.
The submersible is under attack! Is it a monstrous sea creature? How will the crew of the otherwise pacifist, scientific-research submarine, react?
Retell the events of the classic adventure in your own words, and give it a twist!
You may want to focus on the fantasy of the fighting scene... or maybe imagine a take over of the Nautilus by Jack Sparrow, or a surprising encounter while Nemo and crew are fighting the giant sea monster... who's probably guarding a great sunken treasure...
On another hand, how about giving a biopunk twist, or maybe a feel of OceanPunk in the retelling of the scene? You can include some SteamPunk or DieselPunk for the inner working of the Nautilus...
