Hey, everybody. It's time to begin the third story of my series (third big one, anyway). Firstly, this story will most likely not be as good as GALACSIA, but I plan to make it better than ANCESTOR. Also, I probably won't be able to update this much, seeing as how I have a bloody reading assignment. Alright, let's get this prologue over with.
Chapter 1: Ten Years Ago
A long time ago, there was once a beautiful kingdom, which lied-
Out of the way, Nigel! I'm taking this one!
What? Eva! You know I always do the intros!
Yeah, back in YOUR stories! Don't you think your sweet, lovable cousin deserves some stardom?
There is NOTHING lovable about you!
Oh, shut up, Baldy Rainbow Monkey Lover! I'm doing this intro!
No, I am!
NO, I AM!
That's quite enough, you two! Nigel, Eva's doing the intro. It's her story this time, not yours.
YES!
Grrrr. Fine.
Sweet! Now, where to begin. Ahem! Hey, everybody! It's me, Eva Roberts! Your favorite minor character and the star of this story!
Get on with it, Eva.
Okay, okay. Ahem. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful kingdom under the sea, with all sorts of whales, octopuses, and CUTE little fishies!
Eva.
Alright, alright! Anyway, not all was peaceful in this underwater utopia, for one fateful day, a dark and scary man planned a nasty attack and destroyed everyone, with the exception of one baby girl. This is the story of that girl. The story…of me.
In a realm far beneath the ocean's surface, strange fish and aquatic creatures swam through an underwater town with colorful, round-topped buildings. A seashell chariot, driven by two seahorses, was carrying a small, red crab to a large, ocean palace. When they finally reached the palace, the crab stepped off the chariot and approached a dark blue, whale-like creature and a human woman with pink hair, dressed in pink and holding a baby cradle, standing by a throne.
The two turned to the little crab, who bowed before them. "Good morning, King Kyogre! Queen Mamare!"
"Good morning, Sebastian." Kyogre replied.
"So, how's de little one?" Sebastian asked as he walked up.
"She's just fine." Mamare replied. "Wanna see her?" Sebastian hopped up on the cradle to look at the little redheaded baby girl with emerald green eyes, happily sucking on a blue rattle. "Isn't she lovely?"
"I suppose she is. But I'm still unsure, Your Majesty. I mean, is it really okay for a human to be a princess?"
"What's wrong with that?" Mamare asked. "Kyogre married me and I'm a human!"
"Indeed, and our daughter is only half-human." Kyogre replied. "She'll make as excellent a ruler as any merman."
"I know, I know. But are you sure she'll be okay with…fitting in? I mean, it's not like humans can survive down here underwater. And she can't stay cooped up in this air chamber forever, can she?"
"The very reason why she will wear this water ring." Kyogre said as he held out a golden ring with dark blue crystals around it. "It will keep her temporarily safe underwater until she masters her waterbending."
"It still worries me. And not to mention we got Manaphy to worry about, too. And Arceus only knows when his egg will hatch."
"You worry too much, Sebastian." Kyogre replied. "Everything for both, this girl and Manaphy, will be fine."
"What should we name her, anyway?" Mamare asked.
"Hmm…I'm not sure. How about-"
"YOUR MAJESTY!" They all looked over to see an orange seahorse zoom in to the room, using some kind of magic bubble so he can breathe in the air room. "The guards just spotted a pirate ship on the outskirts of town! It had teeth and it's coming this way!"
The king and queen gave worried expressions, and Kyogre immediately knew. "The Flying Dutchman."
Outside of town, a dark green pirate ship, with teeth and covered in lots of seaweed and flora from the sea, came sailing through, firing cannonballs and launching torpedoes, destroying all the buildings it could. The ship soon came to the palace and stopped, and a whole crew of pirates, who appeared to be mutated humans as half-fish creature, hopped off and began their raid of the palace. Several merman soldiers tried to stop them, but they had little luck.
Back in the throne room, Kyogre, Mamare, and Sebastian gave worried looks as they felt the palace shake. "What do we do?" Mamare asked. "Why are they attacking?"
"Stay calm. I expected this visit. I want to see what he wants."
Just then, the front entryway exploded, and through the smoke stepped several fish pirates, as well as their captain, a man with no nose and a tentacle face, dark sea-green clothing and a big hat, a black boot on his left leg and a right peg-leg, left crab claw hand and a right hand with a tentacle index finger. There was also some sort of pump on the back of his neck.
The man grinned evilly as he took out a smoking pipe, lit fire on it, and breathed the smoke in with smoke coming out of one of his tentacles. "Hello, Kyogre." He said in a Scottish accent.
"Davy Jones." Kyogre said spitefully. "Why are you here?"
"I heard that my old friend had a newborn baby and I just HAD to come and see-ah!"
"Why are you REALLY here?"
"I've come to take what should be mine: the throne-ah!"
"We stopped you before, Jones, and we'll do it again."
"Dat's right, squid lips, so why don't you just crawl on back to your locker!" Sebastian demanded.
"Uh hu hu hu HU HU HU HU! You don't really think I'm leaving THAT easily, do ye? You won't have such an easy time with me THIS time! When I was last in that cursed underworld, I brought back something that was locked away forever-ah!"
Kyogre gasped. "You don't mean…"
Jones grinned more. "The Kraken-ah!"
At this, Kyogre bended some water into a bubble, which showed a vision of an enormous sea monster with tentacles destroying the town and eating the citizens.
"He listens to me now." Davy Jones said.
"Call it off!" Kyogre demanded.
"Not until I have the Sea Crown-ah!"
"The Sea Crown is only to be worn by the royal family members only." Kyogre stated. "Others do not have the strength."
"I DO have the strength! My waterbending is far more powerful than anyone's on this wretched ocean-ah! See for yourself!" With that, Davy Jones waved his arms around in the air and pulled in the water from the windows into a large ball. He then spun around and threw the ball toward Kyogre, but he was able to catch it and throw it back, knocking Jones and the pirates off their feet.
"Your power is no match to mine, Jones!" Just then, they felt the palace shake more and saw the Kraken staring inside with its large, green eye.
"But HE will prove to be something!"
"I'll handle this! Mamare: take our daughter and the egg and get them to safety!" With that, Kyogre swam out through the window and did his best to fight off the Kraken. Meanwhile, Mamare grabbed the baby in its cradle and ran up a nearby staircase, putting a water ring on her and the baby as they entered through some water The water rings produced air bubbles around their heads, allowing them to breathe underwater safely.
"After them-ah!" Jones ordered to his pirates, who ran after them. Sebastian stayed behind and attempted to fight off Jones, but the ruthless pirate merely kicked him with his peg-leg before running back outside.
In an upstairs room, Mamare dashed in, still holding the girl, as she went to pick up a large, dark blue egg, which rested on a pedestal. Before she could dash back out, she was ambushed by some pirates. They took both the egg and the child before pushing and beating her to the ground. "NO! Come back with my babies!" she sobbed.
Outside, Davy Jones and his crewmen watched from their ship as Kyogre continued to duel the Kraken. He then looked to see the other pirates climb onboard with the baby and the egg. "We got the egg!" A pirate with a puff fish head yelled.
"And this child." A pirate with a hammer shark head said as he held the crying baby in its cradle. "It's really annoying, too!"
"Give me that!" Jones demanded as he took the cradle and stared down at the baby. The baby girl cried even louder at the sight of the monstrous pirate, making some of the crewmembers cover their ears. Jones silenced the crying baby by wrapping a tentacle around her mouth. "There! Jimmy Legs, get this ship out of here! If Kyogre won't give me what I want, I'll just take this brat with me!" With that, a coral-headed pirate, Jimmy Legs, went to the wheel and started steering the ship out of the city.
"What should we do with the egg, Sir?" the hammerhead shark-pirate asked.
"Take the egg and hide it in the brig, Maccus. And I'll handle this child." At his command, Maccus took the egg and entered a cabin, leaving Jones and several other pirates to look at the baby. "Ahhh… so beautiful." Jones said with a creepy smile as he rubbed one a tentacle on her face. "It will be a shame to drown someone so innocent and helpless." The other pirates merely laughed. "Oh well. What do I know about having a heart?" he asked as he placed a tentacle on the water ring around her neck. "End of the line, my dear. To the depths-ah." But just before he could remove it, they were attacked from above. Kyogre and several merman soldiers with tridents came their way.
"Hand her over, Jones!"
"Back for more? FIRE!" At his command, the pirates began to fire upwards. The troops and Kyogre were able to avoid as the troops swam down and began fighting off the pirates. One troop zapped Jones from behind, making him throw the cradle upwards, allowing Kyogre to catch it in his large hands.
"This is where it ends, Jones." At his vow, Kyogre conjured up a small whirlpool and put the baby inside. In an instant, the whirlpool carried the baby and shot right up for the surface.
"No! ! !" Jones screamed as he watched it vanish from sight.
"Quick! Return to the palace and hide the Talisman!" Kyogre ordered to his troops as they swam off. "Now, return the egg, Jones."
"Never-ah!" The two forces engaged in battle, their powers over waterbending almost equal in strength.
Somewhere on a shore
The sun was setting over a beach as two people, a man in a white shirt, blue jeans, and black hair, and a redheaded woman in a dark blue shirt and light-blue long dress, were walking along, holding hands. "This was a great place to spend our honeymoon, Eric!" the woman said.
"I always know what's best, Angelica!" Eric replied in a slight British accent.
Several feet away, Angelica spotted something washed up on the beach. "…Hey, what's that?"
"I'm not sure. Let's check it out." With that, they quickly ran over to see what it was. They discovered it was a baby cradle, and Eric picked it up to find a baby redheaded girl with emerald green eyes asleep.
"It's a…baby girl." Angelica said.
"How did she get out here?"
"I don't know…She looks abandoned."
"Maybe someone around here forgot her. Why don't we look around."
They spent the next several moments going door-to-door, asking people if they knew the little redheaded baby. To their surprise, no one in the area knew who it was. No one even knew about anyone having a baby recently, so it couldn't be like anyone was hiding it… right?
"Well, I'll be darned. Who would leave a baby this nice all the way out on the beach?" Eric asked once they returned to their home.
"I'm not sure… and better yet, why would they abandon their child?"
"You know, she almost looks like you, Honey." Eric said.
"She… does, doesn't she? But what will we do with her? Should we take her to the orphanage?"
"No. We'll keep her."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure! We've always wanted a baby, didn't we?"
"Hmm…I guess so. I mean, what's the pain if we adopted one? But… what do we name her?"
Eric thought for a moment. "We'll call her…Eva."

And there's your prologue. Longer than I thought, I must say. Mamare comes from the movie, Ponyo, I've already said that Kyogre is from Pokémon, Sebastian is from The Little Mermaid, and Davy Jones and his crew come from Pirates of the Caribbean. Well, next time, the real story. Later.
