Chapter 10
Jake and Rikki were walking through town when Jake saw three men carrying tasers and told Rikki "Umm Rikki. I think now's a good time to run." "What? Why?" Rikki said but when Jake pointed to the three big men with tasers she instantly knew why and Jake said "Denman must've sent them. Come on!" and they started running and the three men kept up with their every step and Jake said "This isn't working. We need my superspeed." and with that he lifted her up and started running and Rikki was surprised and let out a surprised scream which soon became a thrilled "Whoohoo!" and soon they were at the dorms knocking on their friends doors and they all gathered in Rikki's dorm and they told them what happened and everybody was shocked and soon Jake was fishing through the book and came across a recipe to make a potion that erases memories and he said "Hey guys. Come look at this." "Now's not the time to be playing computer games Jake!" Rikki exclaimed "I've been looking at the book and I found a recipe for a potion for erasing memories. The only memories it erases are memories pertaining to merpeople." "Oh well that'll be helpful. Lewis said then read the ingredients list and said "Half of these ingredients can only be found in the middle of the ocean. You can't go around looking for ingredients in the ocean right now. You're likely to get caught in nets by the very people we've been trying to avoid!" "No worries. I've been gathering ingredients for the various potions in the book ever since I got here just in case we'd need them. I've got everything we need to make this potion at my mansion. I'm gonna go get it." he replied and with that he was off before anybody could say anything leaving everybody stunned and soon he was back carrying a box with various jars in it and said. "I've got it. Now we just need to put this stuff together." "Wow we're lucky Jake had gathered what we needed." Bella said so then they got to work mixing the ingredients and Jake said "Now all that's left to do is add heat and blow the fumes to whoever we need to forget us and I can do both. The rest of you can focus on keeping those thugs away from me while I focus on Denman." he said "But we can't just use our powers to fight her at the piere where her boat is docked. People will see us!" Rikki said "Then we lure her to the moon pool. We tell her we're surrendering and to meet us at the moon pool and when she gets there we attack then make them forget." Lewis said and with that they had a plan so soon they were headed to mako with the potion in a container and got there before the time the meet was set up and Jake placed the container at the mouth of the volcano getting ready to blow the smoke down when given the signal and soon Denman and some of her hired thugs came through the surface entrance while more thugs came through the underwater entrance and as Denman said "Where's the merman?" Rikki used telepathy to give the signal and all the girls held their breath and Jake sent a huge cloud of smoke into the pool and waited a few minutes then pulled the cloud up and dispersed it and saw all the hired thugs plus Denman on the ground unconscious and climbed down and said "I forgot to tell you it knocks them out too. Let's get outta here before they wake up." after they left they got to Denmans boat and decided to destroy her research so Jake created a huge fireball and shot it at the boat causing an explosion that destroyed the boat and soon all that was left were sunken cinders.
At the moon pool…
"Whoa what happened?" Denman said groggily as she woke up then everybody else woke up and nobody even remembered why they were there let alone that merpeople exist.
At the dorms…
"Well that was interesting." Emma said and Bella replied "I'm just glad we don't have to worry about Denman anymore." "Now me and Jake can finish our date those thugs interrupted." Rikki said then Jake said "I'm just glad you're safe." "I think we're all glad we're safe." Cleo said
