OMG! My story is just starting to get good! I wish I could go on and on and on but a story has to end sometimes, right? Plus that would kinda sorta boring. Anyways here is Chapter 10! Hoping to finish the story in this chapter… Muwahaha, there might be some tears…

Kami's POV

I stared at the crown holding our pearls. I just couldn't believe this was happening. I looked at Gaito's triumphant face as he laughed. I swear I must've started crying. I struggled to get out of the tube, but the chains on my hands restricted me. I felt like a caged animal that could never be set free. This was the second time I had been in a tubular cage.

I looked around at all the faces that were still asleep in the tubes. Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Noelle, Caren, Coco and poor little Seira. It was all my fault. I just had to fix this… but how? Wait a second...where's Kaito? I searched the room but no sight of him. I sighed.

I noticed a slight glimmer at the bottom of my cage. I looked down and saw a small pocket knife. I thought that was in my pocket… I was using it to scrape gunk off my surfboard. How did that get there? Oh well I can use that! I swept the pocket knife up with my fin and brought it to my hand. Then, as hard as I could, I struck the glass. I made a large crack and water started to pour out of the cage.

Gaito looked my way so I pretended to sleep. I heard footsteps and I assumed he walked away. My eyes shot open and I struck the glass again in the same spot. More water. This time a piece of the glass chipped away and a huge crack appeared. The cage burst and I swam toward the others cages.

I pressed the button for each one as I passed. Only three of them wouldn't open. They required a pass code. Those were the cages of Luchia, Hanon and Rina. Now, I wasn't particularly fond of Rina, and Kaito liked Luchia so if I didn't save her then no more competition… but Hanon was my friend so I guess I had to do something.

I transformed into human form. I was wearing something different though. I was wearing a knee length dress that was teal and had midnight blue jewels on it. There were two pockets on the side.

"What happened…?" Coco's voice sounded.

I whipped around and put my finger to my mouth. But it was too late. Gaito came into the room and looked angry, too. Thinking quickly I swam towards him and stole one of the pearls off the crown. I looked at it and it was purple.

"Caren, here!" I called and I tossed the pearl to her.

"Purple Pearl Voice!" was the response. In a matter of seconds purple light filled the room and Caren started to sing.

"Nanairo no kaze ni fukarete tooi misaki wo mezashiteta

Yoake mae kikoeta MERODI

Sore wa totemo natsukashii uta"

Gaito flinched and another pearl dropped to the floor and rolled over to us. This one was orange. Seira ran over and picked it up.

"Orange Pearl Voice!" her tiny voice called. She joined in with Caren.

"Higashi no sora e to habataku toritachi

Saa, takarajima ni nukeru chikamichi"

Gaito was covering his ears now. I ran towards him and snatched yet another pearl. Noelle's pearl. I tossed it to her and she joined in as well.

"Nanatsu no umi no rakuen

Arashi no yoru no ato ni wa ai wo tsutaerutame inochi ga mata umareru

Nanatsu no kuni no MERODIA"

"You…aren't…getting…these...pearls!" Gaito sputtered and dashed out of the room.

"Let's go guys!" Noelle called.

The girls who had their pearls left and I was alone with Hanon, Luchia and Rina. Well, pretty much alone, since they weren't really awake.

I decided to go look for Kaito. I walked down the long corridors filled with pictures of Gaito. Full of himself much? I walked on. I stopped in front of a large brown door that had burn marks and dents and looked pretty beaten up. I tried to open it but it was locked. A large green emerald shone like the sun. I showed a picture of a key. I figured I now had to find that key. Oh great.

I turned on my heels and opened a door that was halfway down the hall on the left. Inside was a bedroom that had roses all over it. In a glass case a golden key with rubies embedded in it shone brightly. I wondered if it was the key for the door. Across the room another key, this time silver with emeralds, floated in a glass case. I made my way over there and took the key. I also took the other just in case. I shoved them in my pocket and ran back to the dented door.

When I arrived at the door I put the silver key into the lock and turned it slowly. The door creaked open and inside was a staircase. I sighed and descended down the stairs. After around 150 steps I collapsed at the bottom. It was a deep dark dungeon filled with corpses of humans, mermaids, and other creatures. In the corner something moved. I picked up a stick off the ground and put it in front of me defenselessly. I slowly crept towards the corner and found Kaito.

"Kaito," I exclaimed and ran over. "Why are you in here?"

He shook his head and shrugged. I helped him up and we started the journey up the stairs. At the top, however, was Gaito standing there with his rose staff. He looked at me and then Kaito and then back to me.

"How did you ever get in here?" Gaito asked.

I held up the keys and he looked shocked.

"How the…?" he started, but I stole his staff and hit him with it. A pearl fell out of his pocket and I picked it up. It was teal.

"Well I think this is a great time to use my Pichi Pichi Voice." I said. "Teal Pearl Voice!"

I transformed, but this time it was different. My outfit was poofier then before and there were bows in my hair. More frills too! I transformed into super pitch! I smiled and started to sing.

"Nanatsu no umi no rakuen

Arashi no yoru no ato ni wa ai wo tsutaerutame inochi ga mata umareru

Nanatsu no kuni no MERODIA

Daremo ga itsuka wa koko wo tabidatsu hi ga kitemo

Watashi wa wasure

Yukkuri to kumo wa nagarete nijino hate ni kieteitta

Hoshitachi wa shinju no you ni

Tsuyoi hikari hanachi hajimeru"

Gaito escaped and I think I used WAY too much energy because the world went black. MAN! I have to stop doing that... was all I thought before…I died.

Luchia's POV

I woke up in a glass tube. What the heck… oh, ya. I looked around and saw the others empty except for two. Hanon and Rina occupied them. Where is Coco, Kami, Seira and the twins?

Then I saw a glimpse of orange and yellow rush past. I banged on the glass to get their attention. Seira stopped and looked at me. She yelled something to Coco and ran towards me. Coco looked down and frowned at the key pad. She looked up and mouthed 'sorry', then ran after Karen and Noelle. Seira looked up at my distressed face and always said sorry and ran to the left hallway.

Suddenly a large teal light filled the left hallway. I heard Kami's voice powerfully singing and then I saw Gaito rush away from that direction. The singing stopped abruptly and I heard a thud on the floor. Kami must have used a lot of power because Gaito was sitting upon his throne trying to control his headache. I silently laughed at him.

Seira's POV

I was saddened to leave poor Luchia in that cage, but I had a strange feeling about Kami. I said sorry to Luchia and ran towards where I sensed Kami was. The long hallway was filled with teal light when I was halfway down the hall. Gaito ran straight past me and headed for the throne room. Singing stopped, and I heard something hit the floor. Kami! I rushed to the end of the hall and saw Kami on the floor with Kaito trying to help. I slowly approached and looked at Kami. I knelt down and didn't hear breathing. Oh my gosh! I think she's… I shook my head and turned to Kaito.

"She's not breathing…" I muttered.

Kaito's face was horror stricken. He looked down at Kami, and then back at me. Tears started to fill my eyes. Coco, Karen and Noelle came up from behind.

"What happened?" Coco asked.

"I think she transformed into super pitch and used too much power…" I said slowly.

"Oh my god." Karen stated.

"W-we m-might want to go g-get Luchia and t-the others," Noelle stuttered.

I nodded and wiped the tears away.

"St-stay with K-Kami… just in c-case," I said to Kaito. He nodded and with that we rushed towards the throne room.

Kami's POV

I was having a dream, I think. Aqua Regina was there and she told me that I couldn't leave yet. Can't leave…what is she talking about?

"You still have an important job to do, Kami. You are the only one, other than Luchia, Hanon and Rina, with enough power to defeat Gaito and free the others. You have another job, but that is yet to be explained. Now go, they are all worried." Aqua Regina said slowly and very carefully. Her voice was full of life.

I suddenly woke up. Kaito was surprised and fell backwards.

"K-Kami?!?" he exclaimed. "We thought you were dead!"

"…what?" I asked. Then I realized that I was struggling to catch my breath. I got up and walked towards the throne room. I stumbled a couple times, but still made it.

Something shiny caught my eye and I looked down. There one my finger was a ring that Aqua Regina normally wears, and normally, the stone was white. But now it was teal and it was bursting with energy.

I walked over to Luchia's cage and touched the ring to the key pad. It instantly exploded and the cage opened. I did the same to Rina's and Hanon's.

"Alright girls, it's time to super transform." I said to the three.

They nodded and transformed.

Then, we all walked right in front of Gaito and sang.

"Ryuusei ga ima kagayaki o masu

Subete no inochi yo

Kokoro no RUUTSU o mezase!

Arasoi no wa o tachikiru tame ni

Kizutsuki yabureta negai o hikitsuide

Ai o nikumu mono yo...

Umi o kegasu mono yo...

Kidzuite.

Onaji "ai" kara umareta no

Tamashii no PURAIDO o Fight Up! kakagete

Kiseki no neiro kara umareru atarashii uta

Kanashimi o suikonda sono kokoro ni

Sasageru komoriuta

Haha naru ai no SHINFONII

SUKOORU ga ima nagisa o hashiri

Nemureru ibuki ni

Shinjitsu o suikonda sono kokoro wa

Haha naru kaze no SHINFONII

Midori no kaze to aoi mizu no oto

Itsumademo mamoritai kara"

With that song Gaito disappeared. To where? No one knows. We just hope he won't be back to bother us. Now we will be able to live our lives as mermaid princesses of our kingdoms.

Later

"Bye Kami! We'll miss you so much!" All of the princesses called.

Seira came up to me and hugged me, then she handed me a silver box. I opened it and saw a beautiful silver necklace with rainbow stones. I smiled and thanked her.

Next came the twins, they handed me a blue and purple box. Inside were two bracelets, one purple and one deep blue. I thanked them and gave them a big hug.

Luchia, Hanon and Rina handed me a big box with a golden tiara inside, it too had rainbow stones embedded in it.

"Thank you all for the gives… but why are you giving them to me?" I asked.

"Because it's July 19th, you silly!" Hanon said

I still didn't get it.

"Your birthday?" Luchia said.

"Oh, yeah!" I exclaimed. "Haha, blonde moment!"

Last but not least Kaito actually came up to me and gave me a ring. It had an orange stone in it and I hugged him to say my thanks. I saw Luchia turn red, indicating she was slightly mad, so I backed up and dove into the ocean wearing all the gifts. Ash was there for me to ride on. I waved goodbye and they all waved back. That was the last time I saw them… at least I thought it was…

The End!

Well, did you like it? Hope you did!
