A ship had set sail from the palace; it was to celebrate a very important day in the kingdom. There was only one person not excited about it. Prince Yamato stared at the sea; he just wishes everyone didn't have to make a big deal about his birthday. It meant him choosing a bride, and there was no girl in the kingdom that he has met that was suitable for him.
"Yamato, shouldn't you be off celebrating with the others? "Mario asked Yamato; for once he wasn't dressed as some animal costume. It usually embarrassed him.
"I am just fine. I'll be there in a few minutes" Yamato assured him.
"You seemed depressed. It's about this arranged marriage, isn't it?"
"You know?!" Yamato replies as he looked at him wide-eyed.
"Well that Princess Rika seemed like a nice girl but the fact she's the twelfth girl you have turned down. The whole kingdom is considered, I am considered. We just want to settled down with we feel is the right girl."
"Well, what can I say? I just don't want to settle down with any girl." Yamato confesses. "I am sure there is someone out there for me. For now the whole kingdom will have to wait. Perhaps I will travel a bit. Explore parts of the sea, I am sure they're things I never seen before . . ."
"I nearly forgot. We prepared you're birthday present. In all honest, I thought it would be a belated wedding present." Mario admits.
"Why don't you give up already?" Yamato bellows. As Mario pulls off the large cloth to reveal a statue of his likeness, Yamato wasn't fond of it but he put on a smile. He didn't want to seem like he didn't appreciate it. After all it was a gift.
"A statue . . . in my likeness. That's really thoughtful."
"Do you really like it or you're just saying you do?" Mario questioned, not convinced.
"No, I like it . . ." Yamato he told him. This time more assertively. He didn't want to hurt Mario's feelings. After all he looked after him since he was young.
"I know, you're not being honest your highness." Mario tells him.
"Believe what you will."
"Did you ever here the story about the Mer-People?" Mario asked him, in his attempt to change the subject.
"Mer-People? I thought you like studying animals, Mario?"
"Mer-People, are like animals. Of course, it's only a legend. No one as actually has seen them."
So this is just something you're making up." Yamato tells him. He wasn't convinced though he was interested. He just didn't want to show it.
"I would love to study one. If the existed of course especially the grand ruler King Samu. It's been said he rules the Kingdom of Neptune with a firm-hand and a kind heart."
"You're not just saying this is a metaphor when I become King, right?" Yamato questions to Mario but they were interrupted as they turn around to see a large net of fish being pulled up from the ship.
"That's is quite a load your pulling up there."
"Well, we need to stock up. This is going to last the kingdom a good while . . ." As they finish pulling the net up, they fail to notice a few fish falling out of the net. As one fish dropped to the water as it swam away deep into the depths of the ocean floor. Revealing a kingdom on the ocean floor as Merfolk gathered around inside the palace. Music could be heard as everyone began dancing. Mermaid's had long clear skirts over their tail fins, each in a different color and the men had bow ties around their neck.
"King Samu!" A young merman swam over to the King. King Samu had stroke his long bread as he notioned for him to come closer.
"Where is your daughter, Princess Sera? I can't wait to meet her. "
She will be here. I assure you." King Samu tells him, "She should be with her nanny right now as a matter of fact."
"Nanny? At her age."
"Well, I want someone watching her at all times. My daughter has a love for adventure. She tends to wander off, dragging that friend of hers along too. I just afraid she will do something so reckless like go to the surface. I couldn't even imagine what a human could do . . ." Sera was his only daughter and his second child. So you can only imagine on why he would be so overprotective of her.
"Yes, I understand. Humans can be absolute monster, especially after what happened to the Queen."
"Thank you, Aamu. You're very thoughtful and consider it. I know you'll be a fine match for my daughter."
"I am sure; she will be thrilled with the arrangement."
"Ah there is Rimi now." King Samu points out, Rimi appeared to be speaking to herself, more as if she were rehearsing. She looked very nervous as she approached the King.
"You're Majesty." Rimi bowed her head as she appeared in front of King Samu. Samu looked considered as Sera, even that friend of hers didn't follow along behind them.
"Rimi, where's Sera?"
"The princess? Is that whom, you're referring too?" Rimi responds nervously.
"Where is she?"
"She's . . . gone!" Rimi slowly admits . . . closing his eyes.
"WHAT DO MEAN SHE'S GONE?! SERA!"
Sera and Amu meanwhile wanted to see what was inside a sunken ship that was recently discovered. Sera had dark blue shell top with an aqua fin, and Amu had pink shells with a white fin, she also had a white water flower on the side of her hair.
"Did you hear that?" Amu questions as she looks around, believing someone already found them.
"I didn't hear anything. You must be imagining things." Sera assured her friend, knowing how worried she gets when they do things like this. Sera actually did hear it. She knew her Father was angry at her. This was so common; it didn't even affect her anymore.
"Sera, this only takes like five minutes right?"Amu asks out of considered. She knew they could be in deep trouble if they find out. "Then back to the party especially before your father finds out. Plus I want get all the good stuff at the buffet before it's taken." She pouts.
"Amu, you worry too much. We'll be in and out, no one will know. Besides you of all people should be excited to see what human stuff they have down here. You're so knowledgeable with human stuff after all. So I need you here."
"Yeah, that's true." Amu had her arms folded, she appeared more confident with Sera's comment. Not even aware that Sera already had went in the sunken ship.
"Sera? Sera wait for me." Amu yells out as she quickly follows her. She ended up swimming so quickly that she ends up crashing into her from behind. As Sera puts her large back over her shoulder.
"Look around and see if you can find anything."
"Okay." Amu said more meekly. As they swam in separate directions, Sera saw something shining; it was deep at the bottom of the ship. She picked up the fork; seeing her own reflection in the metal, which startled her. This caused her to drop it as she quickly retrieved it. It was another treasure for their collection.
"Amu! Take a look what I found. Amu?"
"AHHH! HELP!" Amu screams from a distance.
"AMU!" Sera swam quickly as finds Amu stuck. "Amu, what happened?" She asked her friend in concern.
"I told you this was a bad idea. There is a shark behind me."
"A shark?" Sera replies, all right we have to get you out of this." Sera pulled her arms but she wouldn't budge. "Did you gain any weight?" She asked her as she continues to struggle.
"I'll have you know I am at my ideal weight, thank you very much." Amu defends herself. Rather offended that she even be asked that at all.
"All right, and then take a deep breath and when I count to three. Ready?"
"Ready!" Amu says.
"ONE! TWO! THREE!" Right on three Amu holds her breath as she is pulled out of the large round tube. As the shark came close, she smacked it in the nose as she pulled it through so it got stuck instead. It was now trying to break free. Amu goes over and whacks it with her own bag that still had stuff in it from there last sunken treasure hunt.
"Serves you right, Sharkie." Amu tells it off.
"I thought you we scared?" Sera questioned. After all just a moment ago, she was crying.
"I am fine." Amu told her. "Thanks Sera."
"You're welcome. Come on. Let's leave so I can show you what I found and that way you can tell me what it is?" As Sera hastily informs Amu as she follows with hesitation.
"I can show you what I found before that shark attacked me."
"Here take a look" Sera takes the fork out of her bag, Amu eyes go wide.
"I thought I would never see one of these." Amu "It's a Babahair. Humans use it to brush their hair." Amu says as she puts the pones of the fork like a brush to comb her hair.
"Brush their hair? Humans use the strangest things. What did you find?" Amu looked through her bag, she looks bag in disappointment and frustration.
"It's not in here. I must have dropped it. That shark did startle me."
"Don't worry about it." Sera assured Amu, gently touching her hand to her shoulder. "We'll go get something to eat."
"Really?! Good because I am starving." Amu excitable tells Sera. As she puts a hand to her stomach.
"Oh Amu." Sera giggles.
Author's Note: Sorry if any of them seem out of character. It's my first story and I never done Super Sentai stories before . . . I thought it was funny that Sera and Amu get chased by a shark. . . since we all know Sera is a Shark Zyuman on the show. She does maintain her sensitive hearing but I have it as a trait among mermaids instead.
Also no negative reviews please. It's my super sentai story, I am working really hard on it. And I am sensitive. I will deeply appreaciate it if you can give me your input. Thanks.
