This is a twist on the Welcome to the World of Guertena ending in the game. Instead of Garry going crazy, he joins Ib and Mary as mer-people. Isn't that strange?
Even if it is a bit odd, I hope you like the final ending. I may put in more if I get any inspiration. Reviews are welcome. In fact, I'd like you to tell me which ending is your favorite, if you'd like. Thank you for reading this story.
Kouri owns Ib. I just dressed her up as a fish person. ^ ^
Abyss of the Deep
Garry squeezed Ib's hand in a gesture that clearly said, 'Don't be afraid. We're almost there.'
Even though Ib wasn't in the least bit frightened, she nodded at him. They swam through the dark undersea cave using Garry's flashlight to light the way.
They came to a stop at the end of the cave and stared at the odd looking rock. It looked similar to Ib's red rose, except it was too big to move.
"Is this the wishing rock?" Ib asked, staring up at Garry.
Garry shrugged his shoulders in an 'I don't know' gesture.
As Ib moved forward to get a better look at the rock, she saw a flash of movement out of the corner of her eye. When she turned to see what it was, she saw her furious sister.
"You!" Mary yelled, pointing accusingly at Garry, "Stop trying to steal my sister! She's my friend, not yours!"
Garry tried to say something back, but all that came from around the tube in his mouth where muffled sounds. Ib could see that he was scared and a bit angry.
Mary lunged at him and tried to grab the tube while Garry tried to push her away. Ib backed into the wishing rock, afraid and worried for her friends.
She didn't understand why Mary couldn't accept Garry. "I wish Garry could live with us. If Mary would spend time with him without trying to kill him, I'm sure we could all be friends." Ib wished.
The wishing rock glowed for a moment, and when the light faded Mary, Garry, and Ib found themselves at the bottom of the Abyss.
Garry flailed his arms in panic and shock at being so far underwater. Ib tilted her head at him. He looked different to her. It took a while to notice what the difference was.
Garry's khaki covered legs were replaced with a dark blue tail. Gills opened and closed in the sides of his neck just as hers did.
"G-Garry!" Ib cried, pointing at the tail.
Garry's eyes widened at seeing the tail. He took the tube out of his mouth. "But how…? Oh right, the wishing rock…"
"No!" Mary yelled, "No, no, no!" she swam away into her and Ib's tower angrily.
Ib and Garry glanced at each other. "Are you mad?" Ib asked shyly.
Garry gave her a small smile and took her hand. "Of course not, Ib. I'll miss the macaroons and college, but at least I still have you as a friend."
