Author's Note

Hey, guys! I just wanted to say thank you so much for the support of my stories and what not…

I haven't seen any crossovers for the Little Mermaid and Ninjago, but if you have, I APOLOGIZE!

I just came up with this idea a while back, before season four and stuff, but I wanted to resurrect this idea and write this fanfic! :D

LE PRESENT THE CHARACTERS

OH, and before I forget, keepers are basically helpers for taking care of Ariel with Sebastian (basically they rotate), so the main plot of TLM won't be all canon. There is an extra eel (Flotsam and Jetsam; Ursula's pets), just because of all the characters (no oc's though I promise) Pixal and Cyrus Borg sadly are not in this just because there are more characters in Ninjago then TLM. But, think of it this way… Pixal and Cyrus are...sailors on Eric's boat…or maybe people in the sequel… :D

Satisfied? Me too. :D

Chapter 1

Seagulls were flat against the crystal blue sky, the waters reflecting dark secrets, and the sailors upon Princess Camille's ship were singing as they worked (whistle while you work...hi ho…).

I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue…

Camille grinned, nudging her advisor, Misako. "Isn't it great, Mia? The salty sea air...wind blowing in your face? It just cheers me right up!"

Misako feigned a smile. "Great, Your Highness…" Max, Camille's dog, had settled right on her feet, snoring away. She bit her lip, trying to push him off.

A young, handsome merman be waiting for you,

In mysterious depths below…

Misako cleared her throat. "Your Majesty, what exactly is our purpose out here?"

Camille shrugged. "The ocean is mysterious, and, I want freedom before I become queen and marry…"

Misako sighed. "It had to be the ocean…"

Lloyd sped past the large anchor sitting in the dark sand at the bottom of the ocean, waiting for Jay to catch up.

"Honestly, Jay, we would be home by now if it wasn't for you!"

Jay huffed. "Can you not go so...fast?"

Lloyd rolled his eyes, seeing the sunken ship. "Found it...alright, you wait out here...keep an eye out for sharks," he added with a wink.

"Okay, keep watch for...what?! Lloyd!" Jay shot through the small porthole like a bullet. "Sh-sh-sharks?! Yikes!"

Lloyd laughed. "Oh, Jay, don't be such a guppy."

Jay crossed his arms, muttering. "Don't be such a guppy, blah blah blah…"

Lloyd looked around the dark ship, searching for any human objects that looked interesting. He swam into another part, gasping. "Jay!"

Jay sped up to him. "What? Oh...uh, what is that exactly?"

Lloyd grinned. "I dunno…" Lloyd picked up the strange object; it really was a fork. His eyes darted to another thing, and another, and another, while Jay looked around really cautiously.

He encountered a large window, peering out of it. He screamed. "Shark! LLOYD!"

Lloyd whipped around, seeing the glass shatter and a huge great white shark crash through it. He grabbed Jay's wrist, dodging falling boards left and right.

They sped through the opening they came in from, narrowly missing the shark's sharp teeth. Lloyd suddenly had a crazy idea.

"Jay! Through there!" He darted through the loop of an anchor, Jay screaming and following suit.

The shark wedged itself there, snapping its jaws. Jay stuck out his tongue, the shark narrowly biting it off. Jay yelped, grabbing Lloyd's arm.

Lloyd giggled, dragging Jay to the surface.

Meanwhile Dareth the human expert was lounging about on his island, messing around with a telescope. He heard Lloyd's voice, turning the telescope backwards.

"Mermaid off the port bow!" He then noticed Lloyd was right there. "Gah! Geez, kid, you'll give me a heart attack!"

Lloyd chuckled. "Sorry, Dareth...we brought some more human stuff."

Dareth suddenly looked interested in what Lloyd had. "Ah...yes, this little beauty I haven't seen in a while...it's called a dinglehopper."

Lloyd fingered the 'dinglehopper', or fork as we humanoids call it. "A dinglehopper…"

Dareth then motioned to the other object. "This is called...a snarfblat. Humans invented it when all they did every day was stare at each other. They make music with it…" Dareth then blew into the 'snarfblat', a bunch of crud and filth flowing out.

Lloyd's smile turned to a frown. "Music...The concert! Oh, no! Jay, we have to go!, Oh, and thanks again Dareth!"

Dareth smiled. "Bye!"

Garmadon sat in his throne overlooking the performance, Kai and Zane looking at each other. Kai took up his baton, tapping the stand. Zane smiled at the performers, signaling to go.

We are the children of Garmadon,

Great father who loves us and raised us well,

Skylor,

Griffin,

Karloff, Seliel, Ash, Lar,

And then there is the youngest in our musical debut,

Our seventh little brother we're presenting him to you,

To sing a song Kai and Zane wrote, his voice can't be destroyed,

He's our brother L-

Seliel gasped, looking around for her youngest brother. "Lloyd!"

Garmadon sighed. "LLOYD!"

Clouse watched the little merman speed home, chuckling. "Well, well, well. Looks like the little fish is poking around the human world...Well, then my plan is complete… Cole! Toxikita! Bolobo! Spy on the boy; he may be the solution to our problems…"

"Lloyd, I just don't know what I'm going to do with you, young man! Because of your reckless behavior-"

"Careless and reckless behavior!" Kai cut in.

"Yes, and the entire celebration was, er-"

"Ruined! Totally ruined! Completely destroyed! This concert was to be the distinguished pinnacle of my career! Now, I'm the laughing stock of the entire kingdom!"

Jay swam up in defense. "It's not his fault! Uh, well, there was...this shark! Yeah, and then we-but we couldn't, and he was all, 'grr' and we were like, 'ahh!', and then we were safe. But then a seagull-like man came and he was all like, 'this is this, and that is that', and-"

Garmadon stopped Jay. "Seagull? You went up to the SURFACE AGAIN, didn't you?!"

Lloyd smiled. "N-Nothing happened…"

Garmadon ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "Lloyd, how many times do I have to go through this?! You could've been spotted by one of those barbaric, treacherous, HUMANS!"

Lloyd frowned. "Daddy, they're not barbarians!"

Garmadon shook his head. "They're dangerous! Do you think I want my youngest son snared by some fish-eaters hook?!"

"Daddy, I'm seventeen years old!"

"Don't take that tone of voice with me, young man! As long as you live in my ocean, you will obey my rules!"

Lloyd was frustrated. "But if you would just-"

"Not another word! And I am never, never to hear of you going to the surface again! Is that clear?!"

Lloyd huffed, swimming away.

Kai was miffed. "Pfft. Teenagers. You give them their own space, and they take advantage of you…"

Garmadon blinked, looking down at his chief advisor. "You think...I'm being too hard on Lloyd?"

Gravis shook his head. "Definitely not."

Paleman nodded. "If he were my son, well,"

Zane cut in. "I'd show him who's boss."

Paleman added to Zane's statement, "And none of this...flitting to the surface…"

"Mm-hm. Constant supervision," Kai finished.

Garmadon smiled. "It's settled! Your four will watch over him; you're just the men to do it."

The four advisors gulped. "Us?!"

Garmadon waved them away with his hand. "Off you go…"

Welp! That's it for this chapter...

The Disney Kickoff starts now! WOO HOO
