Luchia pov)

Luchia and her friends were helping at the restaurant as run started to notice that Murasaki was acting different, her cold attitude somehow has calm down but not sure why

"You think something up?"

Hanon asked as Rina nodded, after things had clam down Murasaki left quickly as the girls went to Nikora for answers. Nikora seemed like she was hiding something as well as she told the girls that Murasaki was happy that was getting good grades at school and other stuff about money for a dress she wanted. Some of them believed it as they thought Murasaki might have a date so with the words of coco she wanted to go follow Murasaki on her date.

2 days later the girls followed Murasaki on her day off as she walked down the street quickly but it seemed like she wasn't heading to a coffee shop

"Where do you think she's going?"

Noel asked as Karen figured that she wasn't going on a date , the girls followed her to the beach and were surprised that she met up with Kaito

"Kaito?!"

The girls screamed in surprise as the two of them talked for a while before I go to head down the beach and into the water disappearing from sight the girls didn't have enough time to think what's going on and why it's those two were sneaking around seeing each other so they decided to follow them. The mermaid princesses followed the two until they ended up in a dark Castle

"When a minute is this the castle of…"

Luchia said but was cut off when they saw Izuru one of Gaito followers

"What is going on!"

Hanon said scard the none of them knew the answer to that as they watched as Izuru lead them into the castle. The mermaids were about to follow but were catch by the twins

The black beauty sisters

Murasaki pov)

I knew this was a risky move but in order to get my friend back, I have no choice but to bring the pink mermaid lover along. He agreed to the plan and came along willingly which was surprising how he could easily trust what I say when clearly he doesn't know me at all when we finally got to the guy in charge, he looked at me with a smirk on his face

"Murasaki is so good to see you again what do I owe the visit ?"

this guy knew he pissed me off if only I could slap that smirk off his face

"I want my friend back"

I answered him as he only chuckles at this

"my dear Murasaki why would I give her up when I can have you as well"

"if you want me then you're going to have to set her free"

"We've been through this a million times with your tricks."

Gaito said not falling for my words, I knew this was going to be a hard mission to complete that's why I turned my attention to the prince guy before finally decided to speak to his so-called twin. He was able to make a reasonable deal with the guy as he challenged him to a duel,if Kaito when's then both me and my friend go free but if he loses Gaito gets to keep both mermaids. I warned the guy about a crazy deal that he tends to make but he still went along with it no it was all up to Kaito

Mermaid princesses pov)

The girls transform into their idol form singing perfect harmony to beat the Black beauty sisters and Lady bat along with ranfan.

"Stop!"

Shouted Lucia making murasaki turn to her and the other mermaids

"Please it doesn't have to be this way"

Said, Hanon

"What do you girls know, just go away and let me do my job"

"By sacrificing yourself?!"

Shouted Coco

"You could have come to us for help but you wanted to do things your way!"

"Hey who asked you, I don't need you girls so leave me alone!"

Murasaki said they could tell she wasn't thinking and was giving up on herself to save her friend.

She's all I have in my life, I couldn't protect her back then but now...this time I won't run!

Murasaki said as Gaito was loving every moment of it, the dark purple mermaid turn to Kaito and thanked him before she took out her pearl and was about to hand it to him coco stopped her as she knocked her purple Pearl out of her hand and took it within hers keep it away from her

"Give it back!"

Murasaki shouted at coco, she shook her head not wanting to see this mermaid go down so easily knowing fully well that she was being tricked but she didn't care

"There's another way for you to free your friend just not like this. I'm begging you Murasaki, don't throw your life away"

Motorcycle look at the yellow mermaid seeing the desperation in her eyes as she wanted her to believe every word she said that there was another way to free her friend but to Murasaki could she really trusts the mermaid princess to help her get her friend out or would she have to wait another long time before that even happens. Murasaki sigh and she looked up at the yellow mermaid

"All right I believe you... Can I have my Pearl back please?"

This made the yellow mermaid happy and she handed back her Pearl and took her by the hand promising her that she will get her friend back if it's the last thing she ever did

"Whether you agree or not mermaid princesses I will not allow any of you to escape now that you are where exactly where I want you"

Gaito said. Only for Murasaki to change into her idol form and started to sing her song before Gaito could do anything. Thanks to Murasaki the mermaid princesses along with Kaito got away safely

"So you were going to have Kaito destroy your Pearl just so he won't be able to use it against you so you could rescue Stephanie"

Luchia said in surprise along with the other mermaid princesses. The girls were sitting at the cafe talking, Nikora wasn't happy about the decision Murasaki was going to make but was happy that the girls were able to talk some sense into her

"It was the only plan I could come up with."

"But how did you know about Kaito?"

Hanon asked

"You think I don't watch you guys do your little weird activities. Before coming here I sae you guys hang around him a lot so I was thinking that since he hanged around you he knew exactly who you guys were. Plus Nikora told me about the boys you all fell in love with "

Murasaki said.

"Well that explains a lot and anyway we already know our first mission and that is the set Murasaki's friend free"

Coco said that's all of the girls cheered

"You guys don't have to go through this"

"I promised, and I keep my word"

Coco said with a smile as murasaki rolled her eyes and allowed the mermaid princesses to help her. After saying good night to all of the girls she headed to her room, she shut her bedroom door and sat on her bed and she couldn't believe she almost went through her horrible plan of shattering her own Pearl. But deep down inside she was happy that she did get the help she needed as Nikora had always told her that she just has to give them some time and she'll warm up to them.
