"In a attempt to see the power of both good and evil, The Beyonder places the most cruel and villianous criminals in disney princess movies to see the affects. It's now up to the avengers to stop them as well face trials they would not expect as well experience feelings they never felt back in New York."

21. The little Stingray part 2

"Walter Newell, also referred to as the aquatic avenger Stingray. Had always made sure to prove himself as just then a oceanographer but a masked hero that can handle any kind of threat that would come to him or to the sea he protected. In which case, he was in someone else's sea as the Beyonder, somehow saw something in him that made him worthy to join this contest in which he was taken to another world to help a princess avoid being attacked as well make sure Attuma, a warlord of Atlantis would rule the ocean. It was something he never though he would do, however this was trouble for him since the mermaid that saved his life. Had fallen in love with him after his ship was attacked, this was going to be difficult due to the fact that he saw how she might have not actually experience liking someone. Especially that he was a human as well her father hating them for how they truly are, so in the meantime he would make sure to show Ariel's father about how humans truly act long with helping Ariel about how a relationship works plus that they should try to take it slow if he was to stay by her side in which he was going be on alert if Attuma would be coming after them."

---

Right amongst the blue water was Ariel and Walter, swimming side by side looking around as the two were talking to each other about their lives as well of what that collection meant to her. Sting ray, couldn't help but chuckle as how she called each of those items thingamabob's as it was strange talking to someone in the water that wasn't trying to eat him or want to try to drown him. Though she was also curious about himself, when she last saw him he looked like a surface dweller but now. He had on long fins as well could swim just like her, it was something interesting as well amazing to see.

Ariel: "You made this? I never knew humans could make this type of thingamabob."

Sting ray: "Well, some humans do with the right equipment as well materials. I do this type of stuff all the time."

In which he displays his swimming technique as well doing some spinning as he travels pass a few rocks showing ease as Ariel noticed how he moved, the way he swam was just like a mermaid as well a actual sting ray. He kept swimming as he happened to notice how it was much cleaner back home as well the fact that there were no other human like machinery here which was quite soothing.

Ariel: "Though why appear like a Sting ray? Wouldn't have been better to use your regular legs?"

Sting ray: "Well yeah, but the suit helps me with moving fast as well watch over all fish life. Back home, I use to do that as a job."

Speaking to her about his duty to the sea as well watching over the sea as she turned her head about what he said, 'job'. A word that she had never heard about in which he could tell as he looked a head seeing plenty of fishes in the sea enjoying themselves as well that of acting like civilians, as the moment passed by. Ariel turned to see two small fish like individuals which was a red like crab and a yellow fish with blue lines as it was a flounder fish.

"Ariel, you father wishes to say he was sorry about how he acted."

The red crab spoke in a Jamaican like accent as well trying to be sincere about this as well feeling sorry for something, Ariel. Not looking at him nor talking back stays quiet as she swims away as the three see her go. Walter, turns to the red crab turning his head at him seeing how he might have something to do with the incident.

Sting ray: "Let me guess, if her father is the king. Then I believe, your the advisor yes?"

Suspecting him of the royal status as the crab merely looked flustered at the accusation as he gave him a look.

Sebastian: "I am Sebastian, the royal court composer who makes music for the family. As well, was tasked to watch Ariel, I didn't know this would happen."

Looking upset at himself as Walter saw how he might have not wanted the destruction of Ariel's collection, he turned to the flounder fish in which made him nervous like as he swims a bit back seeing how a human was swimming as well appeared to be that of a monster.

Flounder: "I'm just her friend. Flounder, I've never seen her act like this before."

Sting ray: "Well, I have with most people I've met back home. Most parents have trouble with talking to their children, and I bet this king has trouble."

Speaking ill about Triton as the red small crab merely floats at him looking a bit upset at how he spoke towards him as Walter moved back seeing how he was close to his face.

Sebastian: "Now see here, whatever you are. King Triton has protected the ocean for centuries as well guarded the merfolk from the likes of humans as well Ursula."

Telling him about the dangers of the sea as well others that tried to attack his kingdom as well who wanted to hurt his people, though that name come up which made his skin crawl. Ursula, he was concern about this as this person might league with Attuma which would be quite the nightmare.

Sting ray: "What's a Ursula?"

Asking him in which made Flounder frightened as he rushed over to Ariel in which she looks at the two talking, so far Ariel was feeling anger at her father still but was curious about why Walter wanted to know about the sea witch her father had told to never go near or find.

Sebastian: "Ursula, was once a trusted member of Triton's court as well knew all kinds of magic to help protect the kingdom. Though, she was jealous that Triton was more powerful then her with his triton. She demanded that she would wield it seeing how she had protected the kingdom from enemies that tried to rule it, though the king saw that she would rule Atlantica with wickedness and evil. He banished her away from the castle as well to never have her be seen again."

Discussing her origin stories, so far this sea witch was a defiant threat as well would be a prime candidate for Attuma to form a alliance with, but knowing Attuma he would use brute force then magic. For the meantime he was good that he knew about this villain as well that he would need to stay by Ariel's side to make sure this witch didn't wrap her hands around her as well have Attuma used her against her father. Walter, looks to Ariel breathing in slowly as although that story meant that there were evil people in the sea, it didn't mean the surface had evil people.

Ariel: "Well if my father knew who the true enemy was. Then he could trust the humans then himself."

Sebastian: "He only does this because he's worried for your protection, recent attacks of rogue mermen have been attacking certain parts of the ocean."

Ariel: "He should have told me then, something you have expert in."

Resorting to him telling him about her crush on Walter as well her fascination with the human world as she needed some time away. Flounder, follows her since he was her friend as well would never tell on her. Sting ray, still floating by Sebastian merely lowers his head as he looks at the composer.

Sting ray: "I'll watch over her, if triton doesn't trust me then that's fine. But I'm not going to let her be a target for enemies."

In which he swims away from his side following after her as the crab merely felt upset with himself as what has happened so far. He decides to head back to inform the king about Walter going to watch over her if anything happened, as he went to do this act Stingray saw how Ariel went upwards to the surface in which he follows after her curious about where she was going. So far she was swimming by some several rocks in which he saw a pelican like bird flying down to her in which this feathered animal was a friend of hers. She happens to notice Walter and waves to him in which she wanted him to come over as he swims to the bird as he looked interested by this.

Ariel: "Walter, this is Scuttle. The bird that helped me learned about most of the items from the surface, Scuttle. This is Walter, the boy we saw back on the ship."

Scuttle: "Really? Sure doesn't look like it. He has fins, red like skin as well white, either he looks like a strange Sting ray or a clown fish."

Figuring out what he actually was Walter merely huffs at him thinking that sounded a bit rude, though right now he had notice a few like items by his side in which were a few pieces as he got curious about them.

Sting ray: "Say ugh, where did you get these parts?"

Asking as he goes right up to the rock in which he observes one of them which was a broken clock with some parts missing but had some decent parts that could be used for something.

Scuttle: "Found them on a ship that was near some rocks, a few trinkets. Plus, a collection of dinglehoppers!"

Going to the pile as he show several metal forks, Ariel looked surprised as they made her smile again. However for Walter, he turned his head as he grabbed a fork as well looked at it. He should have explained to her what it actually was, but then he remembered the times how most people eat as well would use these utensils on fish. He places the fork down as he also notices something, a broken armor piece in which came from a warlord.

Scuttle: "Now that piece, quite a rare find. This is a slider board, great for all fish to relax in when their done swimming around."

He tells the group in which Sting ray shook his head that it wasn't that, though it probably be best to tell them as it might frighten them that there was a angry as well destructive Atlantean on the loose.

Sting ray: "Well I think that's a good name for this, but. Do you happen to know where the ship is?"

Asking the bird in which didn't seem that much of a challenge as Scuttle flew upwards pointing to the right as that might be where Attuma could be, though he was with Ariel now so he couldn't bring here with him. For the time being, he might want to keep her away from it as Ariel got curious about the ship as well in which she thought it be fun to go see.

Ariel: "Maybe we can find more thingumabobs there, come on guys."

Sounding excited to which Flounder and Sting ray looked concern for this as they swam with her to which this was a bad idea as he swims right in front of her in which she didn't understand why for this strange action.

Sting ray: "How about, we can go see this kingdom of yours. I mean, I never heard of Atlantica before. Is it like Atlantis?"

To which she didn't understand that kingdom, he looked surprised about that she or rather flounder didn't know about the kingdom to which everyone on the planet knows. This was getting stranger by the minute in which the three were floating there still to the point that Ariel merely decides to press on ahead.

Ariel: "It'll be fine, besides. Maybe, we could spend more time together in a way to show my dad that humans aren't bad."

Making it sound like a benefit for them as she soon takes the lead swimming right to where Scuttled pointed as Sting ray and Flounder looked concern in which they followed the red haired princess to where they would go as the aquatic teen hope that nothing would come there way as well put Ariel and Flounder in danger.

Later

Continuing the ship where Scuttle found the collection of objects, Ariel had tons of questions about that she was curious about with him. Such as how long has he been doing this? Are there other people with his natural talents and skill, or has he battled people who has done things that have wanted to rule the sea. It was like talking to a fan of his work, though he had to keep it small as well not so much as there were consequences of telling certain worlds about how much life there was then this one. So he decided to tell them about some small adventures he has been on such as helping out fellow fish life with avoiding dangers as well working with fellow mermen.

Ariel: "So, you really survived a giant killer whale? Why was he so angry?"

Sting ray: "Well, Giganto isn't exactly the type to make friends. So when some sailors went to see if he was real, I had to go and get some help from another group of heroes to stop it. Needless to say, I'm not going to close to deep canyons again cause Giganto might be there."

Thinking about the time he was almost eaten, the thought of a giant whale that could destroy a boat with it's mouth had Flounder a bit petrified as well shaking as they kept their swimming. Though, for right now Walter should try to talk to Ariel about how to have a good relationship with someone as well the person you had just met for the first time. However, it was difficult as there was something up with him in which was the fact that Ariel was really sweet as well pretty. It might due to the fact this age had his mind going frantic like as he breathes in thinking of the right thing to say.

Sting ray: "Ariel, have you ever ugh. Had a boy that you liked when you were little?"

Ariel: "Well, no not exactly. The matter was that my dad never let me near any boys since they liked to be smooth with me, he was quite protective. Acted like a king more then a dad."

Answering his question in which had him figure that out quite quickly since he saw the expression on his face trying to act like this was right, though it wasn't in which the three continued to swim further as Ariel wanted to ask him her own questions.

Ariel: "But tell me about the surface world? Is it vast? How many animals do you have? Do you live in a castle?"

Giving him tons of questions that was simple enough to see as well know about in which he nods to each of them one at a time, so far the two of them had plenty of questions in which was slowly interrupted by a wrecked ship they had discovered. It was right near some sharped rocks as well the hull of the ship was destroyed, the sight was something that of a story in which Ariel had to investigate. However, Walter felt like he was loosing air as he couldn't go deeper in which he began to float upwards as she looks at him go up. Reaching up the surface, Walter comes up coughing hard like as he needed some air in which Ariel comes up noticing this as she looked concern for him seeing how this didn't happen.

Sting ray: "Sorry, my mask couldn't hold enough air."

Responding to her as he removes it showing his actual face, she looked a bit surprised by this as Ariel was right close to his face. His brown hair was all wet as well his face in which this was all new to her, he looked at her without the mask as the moment was a bit strange as well the fact their eyes were locked onto each others seeing how she had just said she loved him.

Ariel: "You look, very pretty without the mask."

Sting ray: "You think so? Back home I ain't exactly prince charming."

Smiling about that as it was quite unexpected to get a compliment from a mermaid, let alone a princess in which they took a moment for him to catch his break as well his mask to get some air. However, this gave him a moment to say something to her since they had a moment for themselves.

Sting ray: "Why, did you save me exactly? I know you have a fascination with the human world, but saving me is a bit more."

To which Ariel, was a bit surprised by the comment as the girl looked a bit nervous at that question. True that she did like him cause of how he appeared to being a nice man as well looking out for others, but she saw more to it then just looks.

Ariel: "Well, I do like you. As well believe that surface people like you aren't savages, that your a lot more."

Speaking with the up most truth that there was a chance for two side to work together, Walter. Had believed in that when people found out about Atlantis as well Namor who governs it, though they had been a bit rocky with how they work together. If a mermaid like her could believe in that kind of dream with humans and merfolk can live in peace, that be quite of a achievement. However, he also knew about most people would abuse this as well treat them like monsters with how they appear.

Sting ray: "Well, your right that there plenty of different humans in the surface world. Though, there are some that aren't friendly. In which, your father is.."

Before he could finish what he was saying, he was soon dragged into the water letting go of his mask which Ariel was able to catch it. Looking shocked as well surprised, she swam downwards to see who was doing this in which it was blue skin Atlanteans The same ones that attacked Walter's ship as well his men.

Fluster: "Help!"

The yellow fish screamed in fear as the small fish was able avoid getting captured or being poked with their blades. So far it wasn't that much of a challenge in which he had them swimming around. Ariel, saw how Walter wasn't backing down as he kicks a few of them but he had trouble hold his breath in which he couldn't keep it up for much longer. Going to help out the blue skin men aimed their swords at her going to take her prisoner until one of the men felt a sharp like pinch in the back side as it was Sebastian.

Sebastian: "Run Ariel!"

Shouting to her as he must have followed them to keep a eye on them, taking her chance she swims passed the others and hands him the mask in which Walter places it on quickly. He was able to breath as he soon see's more warriors charging at them. He soon begins to throws punches at them as well hurl the warriors into the rocky grounds as he continues to fight them. Ariel, see's the whole scene being played out in which she grabs scuttle to which she hides him within the ship while Walter handled the men.

"Why do you protect the woman? This is ocean matters that doesn't concern you surface walker!

Sting ray: "Because I care for the sea, as well it's inhabitants. So tell Attuma that Ariel is under my protection."

Making his statement to which the mask wearing human soon flies straight towards the group making them get pushed away from the sea, so far Sting ray was making this look easy. However, it ended with them scurrying away from the man retreating in which he smirks at the fish men walking away from them. Sebastian, swims to Ariel seeing that if she was alright in which case she informs that she was fine in which she swims to Sting ray seeing if he was alright.

Sebastian: "Ariel, I'm sorry for what has happened. But these attacks have become more rampant then ever, I must bring you back to the palace."

Ariel: "No, I'm not letting myself be kept close to my father while these men are in the ocean causing all kinds of trouble. I'm a princess, so I have a responsibility to the sea."

Responding back to him in a strong tone as well thinking about what she had just witness. If these individuals kept swimming around the ocean then no one would be safe, while Walter would agree with her this was too much as she was talking about fighting off against a experienced conqueror as well that of possibly a sea witch. He felt like he should stop this before it continued, though this would just make her do this more. Thinking to himself, that if she wanted to protect her home then she might want to at least be ready.

Sting ray: "I can't exactly agree with you on doing this, but you should at least be ready to protect yourself."

Looking at Ariel in which she looked relived that he was with her while Sebastian looked shocked while Flounder was frightened by this in which this was a bad or rather dangerous decision.

Flounder: "But Ariel, these guys have swords and armor. As well sharp teeth, maybe going to Triton. He can use his staff to blast them."

Making some pew like sounds mimicking those men being blasted as Sebastian nodded at that plan in which that didn't sound like something Ariel could agree with. She just found a person that loves the sea as much as her as well willing to protect it, as this went on Walter had a idea that might be able to give her a chance to protect herself in which might help show her father how she can handle herself.

Sting ray: "If this is to happen, then we should head to my palace. It's time to show you some thingamabobs that are wearable."

Sebastian: "Oh no, no, no, no! That can't be the right course, Ariel. This is not the.."

Before he could protest any longer, Ariel groans as she holds onto him in which if Sebastian felt worried for her. Then maybe it be best for him to follow her as well see the outside world as well. The small band of fish folk swam towards the palace of Walter to get themselves properly ready as well to be protected in the surface, while this was happening Flotsam and Jetsam spying on them, they swam silently back towards Attuma and Ursula going to tell them of what has happened, the pair would use this to their advantage in obtaining the one item their dark hearts desired, the king's triton.

---

Right back at the palace, Grimsby was walking around looking shocked as well petrified that Walter had left. Just gone without even informing him about where he was exactly going, though Max handed him the letter. It still made the elderly man worried like crazy, he didn't inform the whole town as it would cause a uproar as well making everyone demand where was their prince.

Grimsby: "This is awful, just awful! Without him around, there'll be chaos amongst the streets. People taking things without paying it, stealing and robbing will rise."

Listing the things that could happen in which max merely barks at him trying to get the elderly man to calm down, Grimsby saw how Max wasn't loosing it as he knew what had happened.

Grimsby: "Your right boy, I shouldn't panic. Prince Walter is quite the intellectual as well can handle himself, I'm sure that he'll come right through the doors looking esteemed as well in a new like clothing and maybe, a princess by his side by his side. Ready to marry her as well become a.."

The doors opened in which, coming through the doors was Walter. However instead of a princess was a hooded woman holding a small box that was full of water. He looked shocked by this as he rushed over to help out the young lady in his arms as he didn't know what to do. The prince, gestures to take the box full of water as he grabs it and places it on the table.

Sting ray: "Thank you for the help, I need you to go to town. Buy some fresh armory as well clothes."

Grimsby: "Walter, you just came back. Where have you.."

Before finishing, he noticed something from the bottom of her feet as he though he was losing his mind with his old age. He saw a light green flipper in which Ariel, waves to him looking friendly as she was a actual mermaid. A real, mythical mermaid in which he chuckles a bit crazed like until he falls right onto the ground passing out without any question which Ariel looks at him confused by this sudden reaction to her.

Ariel: "Did I offend him?"

Sting ray: "Oh no, he's just not exactly opened to people like you."

Making a joke in which she laughed a little, though from the box was Sebastian and Flounder as they popped out looking around as they saw the inside of the dinning room. It was big and wide all around them in which this was a new place they were in, though the two soon noticed Max looking up to the two fishes as he barks at them.

Sebastian: "Ah, don't eat me!"

He panicked making Flounder look frightened, however Max licked his face making the yellow fish laugh at how he played with the fish. Ariel, found it amusing seeing Flounder enjoying the new friend he mad as Walter carried her to a nearby bathing room to which he saw a tub. He gently places her down as well removes the cloak so that she could get comfortable, he goes near the faucets and turns the handles as soon enough cold water came down making her shocked at how the water felt as she holds onto him.

Ariel: "Is this magic?"

Sting ray: "Oh no, it's just simple plumbing. Most people here have made water accessible here , to which they could change how cold, or hot it can be."

In which he turns the other handle making the water slowly change into warm as the feeling made Ariel felt relaxed in the water. So far, being in this type of water made her emotions about what her father did as well the Atlantean melt away as Walter saw how she smiled. He soon stands up heading to the door in which he heads to the dining room grabbing the box of water as he see's Flounder, enjoying Max's company while Sebastian was still uncomfortable with this whole ordeal.

Sebastian: "This is still a bad idea, Ariel shouldn't do this just to show her father about how strong she is."

Sting ray: "It's not just that, he destroyed everything that she has collected that made the world seem wonderful. So I guess, this is a way of showing him that although you can take away the items. You can still have the world."

Figuring out what Ariel what be truly after as he places the fishes by her tube in which he pours them inside as Ariel welcomed the others with her. Walter, nods to her seeing that she was happy with their company as Walter went to make a meal for everyone as Ariel smiled to her friends. The mermaid looked out from the window seeing the rest of the kingdom, it was beautiful like her father's but this time there was more freedom. More things to see then just swimming, if only she could walk onto the ground to feel the land as well see the people.

Flounder: "It's really, amazing. Never got to see something like this before."

Sebastian: "Well it doesn't look all that fond of to me, under the sea is where I belong. In which we all belong."

Speaking to them in a realistic like tone seeing how this was the truth, Ariel merely ignored him that there was much to see then what he spoke of. However, her mind was thinking about that of the men that attacked them. How would it be possible to stand up against them. If she was going to face them then whatever Walter was bringing, had to make sure it can withstand whatever they be off against. After Grimsby, finally awoken Walter explained to them about the situation that had happened as she was the one that saved his life as well the one that needs his help in saving her kingdom from the men that attacked his ship. Although this was too much, the elderly man saw how protective he was for her in which this might be a surprise in a sense he needed to see better since she is a princess, if possible once this trouble was done then they could be married off as well finally Walter could be king. So he went into town to get the necessities to handle this matter as well the right attire to do the deed.

Sting ray: "Alright, so he's getting the stuff. Time to get something for them to eat."

In which he headed into the kitchen as he found numerous vegetables as well fruits for him to make for them as he began to chop some up as well make about three dishes for them. He was able to make a fruit salad with lettuce and tomatoes as he went back into the bathroom showing them the three meals as this made them looked like they needed food.

Ariel: "Never been serviced like this before, but you shouldn't do this."

Sting ray: "Well, your all my guests here so. It's the least I can do."

Smiling to them in which they all began to eat as Walter couldn't help but enjoy the peace they had, it felt quite nice being with a group of people that were similar to him with loving the sea as well wanting to enjoy the peace of it. Though it would soon change with when they would go back, in which that peace would go away slowly as well be forgotten as they would be heading straight into battle as well going to find Attuma and stop him before he could cause destruction across her sea's. As for Ariel, she notice how he seemed to enjoy her being by his side as if what she spoke made it sound like he liked her as well. The two fishes, saw the two in which it couldn't be denied that they were slowly liking each other as this was something that might not be able to stop, would it help them with what would come or be a sign of weakness in which could be used against them. After the merfolk enjoyed the hospitality of Walter's home, Grimsby came back along with the supplies he had requested in which the young prince brought them into the studies room looking at the clothing as well armor.

Grimsby: "It be much smarter to bring in the full navy force, if what you say is true. Then a army is much capable to handle this."

Suggesting a logical action to this then him and the others charge head first into whatever dangers that awaited them.

Sting ray: "Then lives would be lost because of me, the only way to stop a personal problem. Is to face it yourself, as well be armed with the right gear."

As he was sewing together some clothing in which match her type of colors which was light green, purple and red along with getting some armor. The elderly man never saw this from him, making something for a woman in which this resided of a armor. A strange one with the tail end being made for that of a dolphins tail, a armored right shoulder as well her left arm being armed as well to her chest being the same as well.

Grimsby: "Walter, are you sure she can defend herself? She is a mermaid after all."

Looking at him having doubt as the avenger, looks at a helmet thinking about a unique style for it in which he smiles knowing what he would do to it.

Sting ray: "A friend back home, told me that everyone can get back up and stand against anyone. No matter who the person was, everyone has a fighting spirit in them."

As he soon seats down on the table to begin a design for the helmet working on gear for Ariel as they would be going head first after Attuma as well anyone else that would want to try and take over the ocean.

Later back in the sea

Right in the aquatic kingdom of Atlantica, was King Triton looking miserable as well hated himself for what he had done to his daughter. He felt like he had gone overboard with his action as he requested sea horses as well sword fishes to find her, they had no luck in which had lead him to the thought of running away with the costumed male.

King Triton: "What, have I done?"

He asked himself in which he rubs the temple of his forehead as soon enough, he felt a strange like appearance in the room as it came from the shadows as it was a familiar cackle. Rising from his throne he spotted in a nearby shadowy side was Ursula, she had a devilish like look on her face as well smiled towards the old man in which his staff glowed seeing how she had her hand in this.

Ursula: "Relax my king, I know of how you lost your dear precious daughter. As well who has her along with her precious boy toy that she has so become fond of."

Explaining in which she leads him right outside of his castle as the old man still didn't trust him, right outside of the window was Attuma floating with a group of his own men as they were holding two individuals wearing bags over their heads as well having the same clothing that he saw Sting ray and Ariel in. He looks at Ursula in anger in which this had to be her work as he aims his triton right towards her.

Ursula: "Easy my king, it was him that found them as well tied the poor darlings. All I did was bring them here for them for you to see, now the one holding them. Attuma, desires your triton in exchange for their release."

Explaining the situation to the father as he was both angered as well at this decision, to make his point Attuma pulled out his blade and soon stabs the body of Sting ray making it float upwards as Triton looked shocked at this. He aims the blade at Ariel's stomach going to make the next one within her as Triton couldn't allow this to happen.

King Triton: "Alright stop!"

Shouting to the warlord as Attuma, merely smiled at this in which the king left the castle looking at the boy's dead body feeling sorry for him. He shouldn't have died like this, he turns to the blue skin man in which he had the tip of the blade right inches to the stomach as he looks at his triton. He hands him the staff as the warlord felt the power coming from it as he chuckled at the sight of it.

Attuma: "You know, you shouldn't have banished Ursula. She is quiet the woman."

Complimenting her in which he let's go of Ariel in which he removes the mask showing not of a mermaid's face, but that of a eel. It was Flotsam as it was a trick, before Triton could react the 'dead' body of Sting ray changed from a normal body into that of a disguise in which it was a skeleton that was being controlled by Jetsam. The eel rushed towards his tail biting him as it led him to be able to react to Ursula, was from behind blowing some magic dust into his eyes as he slowly changed into that of a weak like fish like creature as he looked at the two, Attuma, looks at this as a victory hands her the trident to which she smiled with greed looking at Triton.

Ursula: "You should know Triton, that once we take over. The surface world is next, then will be making sure the world knows the terrible ocean couple. That plundered the ocean as well all who live in it bow to our power."

In which she was going to blast the shriveled up old man, before she could. Another trident went straight forward as Attuma was able to catch it, the two look as they saw above was the princess of Atlantica, Ariel wearing a golden helmet as well had on aquatic armor as she was by Sting ray as well with Sebastian and Flounder.

Attuma: "The princess has arrived, now we can end the royal line of Triton. Destroy them!"

Pointing his blade at them as his men charged right towards them as Flotsam and Jetsam led them against the four, Stingray charged head first towards the men making them hit smack dab into the ground while the eels wrapped themselves around him. Flounder see's them and tries to be brave, he bites Flotsam's tail while for Sebastian, leaps over Jetsam pinching the sides of his face steering him around. Ursula, see's Ariel and decides to try out the powerful weapon.

Ursula: "Let me show you how to really use this weapon."

In which she begins to fire the trident right at her, but the armor on her arms was able to reflect it off which made her shocked at this sight. Ariel, swimming fast and hard at her rushed right to her as she used the momentum of her weight and armor to push her off making the octopus woman fire the trident in the open which it fired right at Flotsam and Jetsam. Flounder and Sabastian were able to get out of the way in which they saw the two henchmen blown up into ashes as for Walter, was able to survive the blast as he lands onto the ground.

Ursula: "My babies!"

Shouting in anger as she looks at Ariel, spinning the trident she tries to stab her but was hit by Stingray making her fall into a small crack in the kingdom. Attuma, walking towards Stingray on the ground aims his blade at his neck smiling at him.

Attuma: "Even in a different world, I shall always be victorious."

Speaking at him with a foul tongue as he was about to stab him, though he notices how he was able to absorb the blast energy as his hands soon glow. Right when the warlord was about to strike him, Sting ray raised upwards as well holds his arms as the energy gave him a boost as he held his ground. Letting out a yell, he throws him to the side as well blasts him straight towards the deep making him plunge into the darkness joining Ursula. Ariel, swims by Walter seeing that the battle looked like it was over until the ground shakes like a earthquake. Rising from the deep crack was A giant sized Ursula, who had a trident with her as well looked at them as the two teens floated back while for Sebastian, grabs the skinny Triton and Flounder finds a place for the three to take cover.

Ursula: "You insignificant fools! You dare attack the queen of the ocean?!"

Ariel: "Your no queen, your just a sea witch who found a monster for a husband!"

Shouting back at her in which Ariel went to grab her trident as a giant purple tentacle soon tries to crush her, the two red colored teens avoided the attacks as well saw how Ursula attacked them. Though Walter noticed that she focused her aggression on Ariel since she was the main reason for her banishment, he used this to his advantage as he swims from the side of her back. Ariel, keeping her distraction as she was somehow able to hits the energy bolts that Ursula fired at her away as the mermaid kept up with the fight going on. Not noticing, Ursula see's Stingray as he charges his hands light up with enough energy to hit her right up against her jaw.

Sting ray: "Got ya!"

Announcing in which it somehow allowed her to drop the trident, as it fell down to Ariel. She catches it as the size of it decreased as the princess looks at it as well Ursula as the giant woman looks down at her.

Ursula: "You brat, that trident belongs to me. As well he does."

Presenting Sting ray as she hand him in the grip of her hand, Ariel looked frightened by this as she couldn't hurt him while he was in the way. Seeing how he wouldn't let himself be used like a shield, he uses the remaining energy he has to let out a charge to make her scream in pain. Letting go as well making him fall to the ground, gave Ariel the right moment to which she uses the energy from the trident to hit Ursula's gut. The sea witch let out a powerful like scream as she began to glow purple like, she soon began to fall within the crack as she kept glowing. To the right point where it caused her to explode making most of the fishes as well everyone around it to be blown away from the force of it, it also allowed Triton to become his former merman self as he looks around the area. The palace was still there while Ariel, was holding his trident as well looking like a strong woman, just like her mother which made him shocked at the sight. Ariel however, saw Sting ray in which he was unconscious from the blast. She saw how his mask was ripped in which he was inhaling water.

Ariel: "Walter!"

Looking shocked as she swims to him and carries him, she takes him away from the palace as well everyone as she had to take him to the surface in which he would be able to breath. Triton, along with the others see this and decide to follow her to see if he would make it after helping Ariel with saving his kingdom.

Later

Right at the same beach in where they first met, Ariel had him by the sand as well removed his mask. Looking at him in fear of not surviving, she tried to pump his stomach to try and get water out of him as nothing happened. She feared that she might have lost him having a expression of fear, though it slowly goes away seeing him cough up some water. Ariel, looked relived in which she hugs him scared that she would have lost him.

Sting ray: "I guess, I owe you a second time for saving me."

Thinking about it in which Ariel, merely nods at that as the two teens were close as well not knowing. Holding each others hands when Ariel held onto him, they felt a bit embarrassed as they looked at each other not caring. However, from the water was the king along with Sebastian who saw how she had grown more with Walter as well showed that she would do anything to protect him as well her home.

King Triton: "She really does love him."

Sebastian: "Indeed sire, although she had some trouble in the beginning. Ariel, became much more then any of us could imagine."

Replying to his king seeing how he'd never expect seeing Ariel protect her home in such a manner, let alone with a human by her side in which loved the sea in return. Triton, looked at how Ariel became fond of him as he couldn't keep her by his side all the time. Looking at his trident as well his daughter, it was time to make amends for what he has done to her. Focusing his magic as well thinking of the positive things that he had witnessed seeing two different species work together in harmony, he makes the wave touch Ariel's tail. As the two notice it, Ariel looks at her father seeing him smile agreeing with her being with Walter as soon enough. Her legs became a pair of feet, Walter looked surprised by this as he stands up looking at her as well helps her up in which she had a bit trouble with standing as he catches her.

Ariel: "Is this a way, of you saving me?"

Sting ray: "Maybe, but. I think you saved your dad, by showing how much more you have become."

Telling her as the two soon decide to kiss each other as they look at Triton along with Sebastian and Flounder smiling at them at Ariel finally finding her happiness as well someone to share it with. As for Walter, he had a princess as well someone that he could share his time with while he stayed here in this world, he'll try to find a way back home, but for now. He should just enjoy the new company he had just made with, from both the land and sea.

In the Beyonder's realm

Right from a mirror, the cosmic being saw how a unlikely hero was able to change the mind of a powerful merman as well help protect his home. The Beyonder, showed a small smile at the sight as he turns his attention to three other mirrors which were the last ones to deal with in which these weren't going to be as easy as the last ones.

"The others have been able to hold on to their natural skills as well adapting to the other's lands. Let us see, how it will happen when they face more. Powerful enemies."

In which he looked at the mirror on his left side, seeing a green fiery like reflection as well that of a dragon that showed that the villain who the hero would be facing. Will show them true power, as well the darkness that it would bring towards whoever would face it.
