Yes, it's finally here after the long wait. Thank you guys for being so patient!
Just a tip for this one, because the enemies are tougher, I highly recommend roleplaying in the same comment chain so that you can help each other.

You slowly swim forward, shuffling along in the line of soldiers returning into camp after a long day's work. You're about to join them in the bunker when you hear murmering around a corner. You quietly sneak out of the bunker to see the 4 captains sitting over a table, with a large piece of parchment splayed in the middle.
"Brutus, her soldiers dealt with the last one, we cannot procrastinate any longer!" Cerith snaps. "We don't know what they're planning, but it's going to be big. The more of their outposts we destroy, the closer we get to their base camp and the secrets they're hiding from us. We're wasting time!" A nodding of agreement came from Kalei and Tampa.
"But Cerith, they've only been taught to kill phantoms! They won't stand a cha-"
Tampa cut him off. "Actually, Kalei and I took the soldiers down to 'at old coot's place in Crystal Reef. Ye' know, the one that fixes their armor? Turns out she knows a thing or two about combat. Taught em some tricks. I think 'ey should be alright down 'ere."
"But, but, they still need more training! We can't just.."
"..Brutus..."
"...and expect them to do perfectly fine! What if.."
"..Brutus..."
"...want that to happen, would we? We have to wait a little.."
"BRUTUS."
All 3 captains turned towards Kalei. "You're overreacting, calm down." she said with an unusual calmness to her tone,
"She's right, Brutus." Tampa muttered.
"What Cerith and Tampa are saying is true. We can't procrastinate on this any more. The Ilikua are planning something big, and the more time we waste, the more time they're spending putting this plan that could potentially harm every animal in Jamaa into action.", the Romantian captain announced. "The old blacksmith taught them some tricks, and 2 of us can accompany them to the outpost. They should be fine."
The Aquian captain grimaced. "No! As the captain of this brigade, I declare that this mission-" He was cut off by the Kelpian captain.
"You are not the captain of this brigade! Stop acting like you are superior to us! We are all equal ranks, and we all must come to a decision before it goes." Cerith shot back at him. "We shall take a vote. The more popular vote wins." Brutus hesitated for a moment, and then nodded reluctantly.
"Very well then." Cerith sneered, a small smirk forming on her face. "All in favor of this decision to raid the Ilikua Outpost say aye. Aye."
"Aye."
"Aye."
Brutus glared at the other 3 captains, being the only one of the 4 to stay silent.
"Alright then. All against this decision to raid the Ilikua Outpost say nay."
The entire captain's quarters was silent except for one.
"Nay." Brutus grumbled, knowing he was of the lesser vote.
"It has been decided." Cerith declared. "The soldiers will be sent to the aforementioned outpost to raid it, kill its inhabitants, destroy whatever is inside it, and overall render it useless, while her highness the Admiral's scouts scavenge for the main base. Meeting dismissed."
The captains nodded slowly and swam to their bunkers.
~~~
"Attention! Attention! All soldiers to the heart of camp!" the Romantian captain called. One by one, soldiers began flooding into the center of the bustling camp, some rubbing sleep from their eyes, others stretching, some yawning, others awake and ready to take off.
"I sure hope Brutus and Cerith cooled off from that argument last night." Tampa joked as they waited for the rest of the soldiers to come.
When almost the entire camp was filled with soldiers with their armor on, tridents raised, and some still yawning, the captains began their speech.
"Greetings, soldiers! We have recently recieved word from her highness the Admiral that her soldiers recently found an outpost inhabitated by the Ilikua. While her highness' scouts search for the main base, it is our duty to raid the settlement and destroy everything in it, including the Ilikua," Tampa announced. You and the rest of the soldiers roar with excitement and raise your tridents in the air. "Captain Kalei and I will accompany you. Whatever we say goes. We depart now, follow us!"
~~~
You lean against the rocks with the other soldiers, breathing heavily. Your first raid. You poke your head over the rocks to see it - a small temple guarded by walls of coral, surrounded by seaturtles wielding spears and armed in lionfish helmets similar to your own. Large coral slingshots - the same ones you saw on your first trip to defeat the phantoms - stick out from the coral walls. You see small turtles perched beside them, ready to shoot.
"How are we going to get into the temple, captain? It's swarming with guards." a soldier behind you asks. Kalei turns to face the entire group.
"There's too many guards outside for us to try and break in quietly. We're going to have to dive into their camp in a group and brawl our way in. Once we break through their defenses, the commander will surely call for reinforcements. We have to keep doing that until they've cleared out all the guard from inside the temple. Then, we go inside and destroy the temple." she announces. "Now are you ready?" she announces, answered by a roar of agreement from the soldiers.
"CHARGE!"
