I thought about making this for a while but just haven't had the time and well I figure now might as well be good as any. I have a few ideas how this will work between Melody and Mulan. Just post comments and see if you'll like it.
Chapter 1
As Melody swam into the underwater Arctic sea cave she had a very strong feeling that all was not right about this picture. Here she was returning the stolen trident to Morgan. As she followed Undertow in she couldn't get past this feeling that this was not right. She would get to remain a mermaid forever. That was the deal between them. But her mind couldn't get past why the man who had the trident seemed so sad. He didn't look like a deranged kleptomaniac.
Her thoughts stopped as she reached Morgana
"Oh, there you are, darling!" She said sounding caring. The sea witch sat on sea chair smiled showing off her green eyes and red lips. The green skin woman with black six tentacles had fluttered as she sat up, "Oh, I was so worried about you. And look!
She walked over to Melody with Undertow behind her. "You've brought back my trident. Clever girl."
Suddenly Undertow swam to her and said directly to her face, "Give it to her! Giver it to her! Give it to her!"
Morgana grabbed Undertow with one of her tentacles and threw him to the chair. She shut his mouth with her tentacle and quickly said,
"Forgive him, dear. He's got a little size issue." While looking back at him with a face showing dis courage.
It was then that Melody had that feeling again.
Morgana let Undertow go and said, "Now, if you'll just hand over the..."
Melody was just about to hand it over to one of her tentacles when a new and familiar voice shouted, "Melody don't! Don't listen to her."
She turned taking the trident back and gasped, "Mom!"
There she swam towards her along with her was a yellow blue old fish. Her mother had a green tail and wearing a pink bikini. She was shocked at what she saw and what she saw was that.
"Your a mermaid!"
"Your a mermaid!"
Her mother said the same words that showed she was just as shocked as she saw her daughter was indeed a mermaid.
For a moment there was silence with shock until Morgana broke it with, "Ariel, how nice of you to come." She waltz right by her and looked displeased. "And you brought Flopper with you."
The yellow fish growled and said, "The name's Flounder."
Flounder swam towards her until Undertow stopped him Flounder him being twice as big as him.
Undertow came face to face with Flounder.
Flounder gave a mean face and said, "Grrrrr. yourself Pipsqueak." pushing him back.
Undertow said, "Get the thing and hit me! One bite and he's shrimp toast!"
The thing he was talking about was obliviously the trident but Melody clutched it to her chest with both hands tightly at the sight of her mother.
"Sweetheart, hand me my trident now." Morgana said calmly said to her sticking out her hand. But Melody held it to her while not taking her sight off her Mother.
"All this time and you never told me?" She said. Her mother eyes looked away with regret and Melody thought back to their last conversation before she ran away. How Melody said she had never been in it, which she now knows, was not true after all they were both mermaids.
She felt two of Morgana's cold hands rest on her shoulder and she said,
"Kept the most important secret in her whole life from her own daughter." Melody felt her expression changed into anger and betrayal. She was right when she had said she was hiding something from her. Something big.
Her mother stuck out her hand and calmly said, "Please, give it to me, Melody."
Morgana tighten her grip on her which made her more suspicious of the sea witch as she said, "No, hand it over to me, it's for your own good." She said directly into her ear.
"She lying." Ariel said while sounding scared.
"I've given what you always wanted." She said while not letting her go. The sea witch voice rang in her ear. "She's the one who lied to you all these years." while sound right Melody still had this deep dark pit of worried that this was all wrong. But she had at that moment was how angry she was with what her mother hid from her.
"I was trying to protect you!" She said while swimming closer to her.
"By fencing me in?" Melody said she felt her heart ache with pain as she clutched the trident trying to decide whom to give it too. "You knew how much I loved the sea." She felt Morgana hands leave her as she asked,
"Why did you keep the truth from me?" Melody felt scared, alone, hurt and her heart filled with sadness.
Her mother swam up to her touched her shoulder and face gently and said, "Melody, listen to me. If there was one thing in my life I could do over, I..." Melody swam back and held the trident in one hand to Morgana and said,
"You're too late Mom."
"Melody, No!"
Just as she was about to let Morgana have it, it was there that that gapping feeling filled her half human half fish body. It wasn't the scared panic face her mother had on or the gleeful but creepy glare Morgana made. It was something inside her that told her...
"NOOOOO." She screamed clutching the trident to her chest away from Morgana.
Suddenly the trident gave off a massive but small blast that blew everyone except Melody back. Ariel landed on the ice ground while Morgana landed on her black tentacles looking confused and mad. Flounder went over to Ariel who was getting up. Undertow when to Morgana who looked really pissed.
Melody kept looking back and forth, trying to decide whom to trust. All she felt was scared, alone, hurt, and angry. She held the trident to her and felt its power seep through her hands.
Morgana got up and looked beyond angry and yelled, "COME BACK WITH MY TRIDENT GIRLY!" And quickly swam towards her with Undertow and her two Manta Rays following her looking just as angry.
She quickly looked back at her mother who was worried and scared. She shut her eyes and looked away. She wanted to be alone away from everyone in the cave.
Her only option left her with swimming up and into the surface part of the cave. She gasped for air as she as she shot strait out throwing the trident on to the clam chair. She lifted her body on the ice floor. She crawled to the chair and heaved her body onto it. When she was on she held the trident tightly to herself and shrunk her body back against the chair pushing her tail body tightly against her chest as she waited for them.
Morgana was the first. She burst out of the water with her tentacles slithering the icy floor towards Melody.
The princess shrunk back and said, "Just get away from me!" Her voice sounded weak as she aimed the trident fork end at the sea-witch. Morgana gave a look but then was replaced with a sweet but sinister smile and said,
"I don't think so sweet-heart."
She approached her with a devious look on her.
Melody pointed the trident with more force and thought really, really hard. PLEASE DO SOMETHING! She used whatever courage she had left inside her.
Suddenly it then glowed green. Morgana stopped. It was then a great surge of power sweep through Melody's hands into her body.
Morgana gasped, "But….. how?..." She looked confused as her tentacles halted.
Suddenly all the objects in the ice cave glowed the same green color as the trident. Some of the small mirrors glowed along with the books, along with the jars and bottles filled with magic.
Melody gasped with fear as the objects threw across from her side to Morgana just as her tentacles were about to reach her. The books hit her first but some of the potions did create a small mist but the small mirrors flew by her and land on the ice wall creating a loud banging before sinking into the water. The last mirror hit Morgana right in the face.
DONGGG!
That was the sound it made as Morgana fell back into the water. The mist had covered her entire body went with her along with her tentacles as she sunk back in.
There was nothing but silence except for Melody breathing rapidly. The trident stopped glowing green as she calmed down. She took a moment to see the damage she had done. The floor was covered with books and broken pieces of jars and bottles. The mirrors had left big dents in the cave walls as they fell off and sunk into the water.
Melody held the trident tightly with both hands as she thought what her next move was going to be. She wanted some one to tell her it was going to be alright. Her only friends she made on the way to Atlantica were Tip (a penguin) and Dash (a walrus) Adventure /Explorers were gone. They were like her too she was laughed at by her classmates and they where laughed at by other penguins when trying to help.
They were gone scared off by Undertowed just as they arrived at the entrance. She wanted her friends back. But most importantly she wanted a person to trust. She remembered the three mermaid kids she met. One of the boys was very cute.
Her deep thought was interrupted by the sound of splashing of water. She watched as her mother roused out and with her fish friend Flounder by her side. She was happy but replaced with anger.
"Melody we need to leave before Morgana-" Ariel began.
Melody cut her off with. "Why should I trust you?" She had nothing but hurt and sadness inside her heart. "You lied to me."
Ariel had a shock look on her face. Then she calmed down and said, " Yes, I know I lied to you but all of it was for your own protection."
"She rights." Flounder said. "Morganas nothing but a washed up sea Witch."
"You can trust me because I am your mother and I love you." She said.
Melody looked down and thought can I still trust her?
She looked up and saw that her mother had caring in her eyes as she held out her hand. But she still had no idea who to believe. She slightly let her guard down and lowered her fish half body to the floor. Her mother sighed and said,
"I love you and you should always know that." She quickly glanced down into the water and then backed to her daughter.
"I should've told you about this a long time ago sweetie." Melody wondered at that moment what her mother was hiding from her. She slowly inched her body a little bit to Ariel.
"Let's go help should be arriving soon."
The word help stung her like Jellyfish. She wonders if her Dad was coming. No doubt in her mind said she was in big trouble for running away from home. Her eyes fell on the trident. She also wondered if the King of Alantica would come. In her hands she felt so much power but so lost and scared.
She looked back at her mother and she saw that she hadn't change her expression caring mixed with hopeful. Could she really trust her again? All her life she wanted to be a mermaid but know all she really wanted was a person to trust.
Suddenly a tentacle burst out of the water and grabbed Ariel.
"MOM!" She screamed. She didn't want Morgana to hurt her. She still loved her. She watched in fear as Morgana roused out holding her mother in the air with her black tentacles.
Morgana face looked bruised and really bad. Melody couldn't tell if it was from the potion or the mirror or both. She clutched back in fear as she watched, as Morgana roused up she looked meaner, creepier, and way bigger.
It must be from the potions. Melody thought as she held the trident up.
Morgana looked directly at Melody and said, "Now girly hand over the trident or say good bye to your Mommy." She wiggled Ariel high.
"Let her go you old sea hag." Flounder said while splashing up. Undertowed went and stood face to face.
"Just take it from her and hit me." He said to Morgana. "I'll swallow him whole."
Melody at that point held it out. She now knew Morgana wasn't telling the whole truth and she didn't want her mother to get hurt.
She pointed it directly at Morgana and quickly thought, Please help me save her!
The trident then glowed red and shot a red bean directly at the sea witch. She fell back releasing Ariel and landed on the wall. Ariel fell into the water and Melody felt a sign of relief that she was ok. Undertowed went over to Morgana and said, "I'm never going to be big again at this rate."
Morgana looked tired and really angry.
Flounder went over to Ariel and said, "Come on let's leave while we have the chance."
Ariel looked at him then to Melody and said, "Sweety lets go home." She held out her hand.
Melody held her hand out but pulled it back. Melody wanted to take it but still didn't trust her. She still felt lost, alone, and confused. Not to mention scared. She gripped the trident tightly not wanting to give it to anyone. She pointed at her mother and said,
"No you lied to me," Ariel looked shock but guilty. Melody then looked over at Morgana and said, "And you weren't telling me the whole truth and tried to hurt my mother."
Morgana looked up at her and despite being hit by the blast looked extremely pissed off.
Undertowed then barked, "Well if she isn't going to hand it over just take it from her already and make me big."
Morgana then swam directly at her but Melody held it up and it glowed red. Morgana stopped dead in her tracks. Melody felt its power swept through her like the tided coming in. She pointed it back and forth between her mother and Morgana and said,
"Both of you get back or ELSE!"
Both of them swam back. Ariel looked shocked that her own daughter would hurt her. Flounder swam back hiding behind her. Morgana had this scared look. Undertowed looked really pissed off look.
It was then that Morgana spoke, "But darling we had a deal I agree to make you a Mermaid forever if-"
Melody cut her off with, "I know but..." Melody couldn't say the rest because she didn't know what she wanted at that moment. She held up one hand in frustration.
Melody felt like she was on the verge of tears. All she wanted at that moment was to be a thousand miles away. But most of all she wanted was….
"Ohhhh. All I want right know is a person that I can trust." She yelled at both of them while banging the trident on the ice floor. The ice floor crackled. The scene frightening both of them back. But that was not all that frightened them.
Melody then felt a strange new power come through her from the trident. She looked at the trident and watch as it grew green and bright. Melody gasped as the green grew below to her hand and tried to let it go but it was magically glue to her hand. The green consume her whole body.
Her mother reached out to her and screamed, "Melody, No!"
Melody tried to scream to her but it felt like being underwater as human. Her entire half human half fish body glowed green and then felt like she was about to go some place else.
The light grew brighter and brighter until she heard.
WOOOOSH!
Everything around her the ice cave, her mother, and Morgana all disappeared. The only she could see was nothing but darkness. She shut her eyes clenched the trident and curl her mermaid body up as she felt like she was hiding heavy water.
It's done and please post reviews. Tell me if you like it. I won't be able to post more because of school. But Thursday is a half a day and I have Monday off. SO I will have lots of time to write more.
