Mermaids of Ying and Yang

Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch

Chapter 1- Pearls of Light and Darkness

By: ArcticWhisper

The mermaid princesses that we know and love have sung beautiful melodies that have raised our spirits and have stuck in our minds. …Melodies that are sung on Earth but made in the Heavens… songs that make all creatures stop and listen to their notes of purity. But not all melodies are pure… And where there is Light... there is Darkness hiding... Waiting… Snickering…

This is the 3rd season of Mermaid Melody… several years have passed… and there are new pearls emerging from the merkingoms.

"We have almost arrived, Princess," explained a young merman as he let out a shaky breath... he disliked the idea of surfacing. His words pulsed with a royal tune.

"I am aware..." quipped the mermaid-- whom he was addressing. She gave a kick of her pearl colored fin and sent herself rushing upwards. The merman tried to keep up with her as they neared the human world above.

The mermaid princess had silver hair that glowed with a light violet aura. It weaved through heavy conchs and delicate shells that crowned the top of her head. Strands of pearl-beaded hair looped over her forehead and were held up at the back. These strands had spiraled shells beaded through them that dangled over her forehead and clanked together creating a high note-- like on a piano.

As she swiftly moved through the water, locks of her hair whipped across her face and chest... but she made no effort to brush them away... she ignored them like she did the man's repetitive calls to "slow down."

She pursed her lips and then smiled... realizing that as soon as she reached the land above the waves, she would not have to wear this royal headpiece... But none the less, she still was disgusted by the idea of setting foot on a humans turf.

"I feel a powerful presence emerging..." mumbled Taki as she wiggled her thin fingers above her crystal orb. It pulsed with a ghastly, green light and seemed to moan.

"Taki-san!" Hippo wailed as he stormed through the room.

Her concentration was shattered.

She curled her twitching lip upwards and snarled. But he continued to yell and scream. Then, he felt a cold wind kiss his check, and slowly he turned his shaking head over to glance at her. She stared him into silence.

A tear of sweat dropped down the side of his head as he laughed nervously.

"I... um.. um..um..." He mumbled as he found it hard to form his words as she started at him so.

"OUT WITH IT!!" she growled, her hair almost on fire as her eyes glowed red.

"Y-yes!"

"It's the pearl radar.. you see... heheh... There are two new signals!!" He yelled, waving the radar from right to left like you would a white surrender flag.

Taki quickly snatched it from his webbed fingers and examined the blinking dots.

"Hum... Oh... Ah... Hum..." She buzzed between closed lips.

"... I don't understand..." she then added honestly.

Hippo fell to the ground with his penguin feet vertically in the air. Then a boost of energy filled his body and he levered himself to his blue feet, almost in rampage.

"It means...!!! ... well um... now, what does it mean?" he asked himself as he realized that he never really knew why... when it started to blink, he all of the sudden had the urge to scream and yell because things have been very quiet and boring after the princesses defeated Mikeru and had used up all of the powers in their pearls.

"... They have arrived..." Nicola simply stated, her eyes seemed to reflect a distant pain. Hippo and Taki glanced over to her at the same time, both of their hands were greedily smothering the radar.

"Ahhhh!" the mermaid princess sighed as she stretched, trying to balance on a coral rock with her human legs.

She looked down and began to laugh

"They look funny!"

Her pale legs shimmered with ocean droplets.

Suddenly, a broken- up scream echoed through the bay, it was followed by a clumsy splash. The princess glanced over her shoulder effortlessly and sighed.

"These are horr blub ible!" the man in the water moaned, referring to his legs... as he was thrashed about by the waves, his mouth submerged in water. Neither of them had ever seen the mortal sky before... they only read about it during their studies.

The princess couldn't help but laugh as she shook her head, her wet hair sticking to the sides of he face-- an unpleasant feeling she never experienced.

"P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C." she spelled out.

The man thought to himself for a moment... and then grumbled underwater, trying to suppress his anger.

"So this is it... huh?" She questioned.

"A-AH! Princess Izuna!" the man cried as he felt something slimy scrawl up his back. His face froze.

"What now, Saphiro?!"

"H-haaaaaaaaaaaa...-h- HHHHHHEEELP!" he shrieked, his voice hoarse.

Izuna reached her arm out in front of her and whipped the air with her long finger nails. As she did, the water receded around him... magic.

She twisted her body back around.

"Humans..." Izuna then grumbled as the words tickled on her tongue. Saphiro shrieked in the background as he held out the "slimly thing" in his hand.

Izuna, ignoring him once again, unwilling gazed out onto the beach in the distance. There, the humans cheerfully played.

"Disgusting..."
