Kingdom Hearts II Guardians Of The Multiverse

by SORARULES23

Sora, Donald And Goofy finally awakens to stop Organization XIII and find their friends Riku and the King. But this time they're not doing it alone. (This story is connected to the Maverick Series.)

32. Kiss The Girl

We're back folks!

And a special thanks to both Spyro 101 as always for finding time to help me with this story. And to Haxorus Knight for helping me with the fight at the end of this chapter. Without the both of you, it would've taken much longer to finish this chapter.

Also has anyone seen Kong Vs Godzilla? I know it's late to talk about it but man wasn't that epic or what?

"Well while I don't remember any human character's name. It still gave us more than those Transformers movies that were just a perade of bullets and boobs for twelve year olds." Maverick remarked.

Tell me about it. Anyhow just to give you a heads up. This will be inspired by the tour of the kingdom scene from The Little Mermaid movie. And I brought in some of Aiden's family members to come and help out with Ariel's date with Eric.

But before I show you. Let's answer some of the comments on the last chapter.

olehbilenko93: Thank you. I appriciate it your support.

SPYRO 101: Yeah I was going for an extreme reason for why the Guardians couldn't stop Ariel from seeing Ursula. But to answer your first question. Grimsby would only recognize Aiden as the Maverick when they meet. But as for how the team will react to Ursula's evil plan. Come and read this chapter to find out.

RustyPete12: Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I'm sorry if the crazy chef bit went on for too long. I went with the same length as the original. But yeah. The banishment barrier can give a few laughs for the right team member who meets a smack in the face instead of water. LOL!

superkoola: Oh it's okay. No need to apologize. You can review whenever you're ready and available to. But yeah I bet you didn't see it coming when Triton banished Sora and the team. But you're catching onto where his anger came from. Ariel may have made a mistake in sealing a deal with the Sea-Witch. But her heart was in the right place as she had no one to turn to and no choice to make on how she could make her dreams come true. At least that's how I see it. We all make mistakes when we're desperate to correct an error in our lives. And Ariel is no exception.

Alrighty folks! Now that we're all here!

LET'S GET DANGEROUS!

Kiss The Girl.

Back down in Atlantica...

The kingdom was at an unrest state since the Guardian's banishment and Ariel ran away from home. Inside the palace throne room. King Triton was passing back and forth waiting for a report from one of his scouts. Soon a seahorse swam up to the king to report his lack of progress.

"Any sign of them?" King Triton asked the sea horse looking worried.

"No, Your Majesty. We've searched everywhere. We've found no trace of your daughter or Sebastian." The sea horse sadly reported.

King Triton looked down and sighed before he reaffirms his orders. "Well, keep looking. Leave no shell unturned, no coral unexplored. Let no one in this kingdom sleep until she's safe at home!" He ordered.

Yes Sire." The seahorse bowed his head before swimming off to carry out his orders.

King Triton swam back to her throne and sat down. His mind wandered off to what possibility could make his daughter leave home like this. It was pretty obvious to him. Not only did he cast out her friends. The ones that gave their lives to save Ariel and Atlantica last year. But he also destroyed her hope and dreams as well as any reminder of them.

He did what he thought was best for his daughter. At first King Triton thought it was for her own good. But was it? Or did King Triton do what was for his own good?

Either way. King Triton knew it was his own fault for causing her to leave like this. It was his fault for not hearing her out. But what else could he have done? Ariel wanted to become a human. A savage that kills his kind. The same kind that murdered his beloved Queen. Humans don't deserve compassion or the sea's attention.

But then he remembered Maverick. Not Aiden. But Reidar, the Maverick before Aiden. He was human after all. And so was Sora. They were an example that not all humans are the same. And yet Triton branded Ariel's so called 'Prince' the same way. Perhaps it wasn't out of strict parental authority or protection. But prejudice against a race that he barely knew, except by their actions and crimes against the ocean as a whole.

There was no denying that King Triton was at fault. And now his daughter was gone. And without the Guardians here to help him. There's nothing he can do.

"Oh, what have I done? What have I done?" King Triton sulked on his throne. As the guilt washed over him like a hurricane.

Back on board the Starburst...

Aiden was in his Maverick form while wearing a red bedroom robe. Lounging in his room and relaxing on his bunk while the team waited for Ariel to prepare up and head out for her tour with Eric.

The team was just passing the time doing other things while they waited for IRIS to detect the soon-to-be-a couple walking out the castle. But apparently they're more early than they thought.

'Incoming call from Arendelle' IRIS got Maverick's attention as a terminal screen next to his bunk projected the call signal.

"Answer." Maverick told his computer while he leaned back on the headboard of his bunk.

The image on the screen changed to Anna. She was wearing a green dress with growing flower designs at the bottom and had her hair in pigtails.

"Hey there Mister Host-Of-The-Stars. I'm looking to speak to my favorite nephew." Anna said with humor, and she smirked seeing her nephew in his Maverick form with a robe over it.

"Once again, I'm your only nephew, Aunt Red. I HAVE NO COMPETITION! But I digress." Maverick quipped. "How's everything going back home?"

"Everything is good here. Although I would like for a little bit more excitement to happen." Anna said while pouting. "I heard how Elsa kicked Maleficent's butt back in Christmas Town. I would have loved to see my sister in action like that."

"Be careful what you wish for my dear, because it might just come true." Maverick warned playfully while speaking in a pompous British accent before switching back to his normal Maverick voice. "Speaking of the living Ice Age, how's she and Dad doing?"

"They're both doing good. They are just currently handling this morning's usual royal business." Anna said with a slight cringe at the thought.

"Oh you mean the kind that makes you die of boredom and the contagious toxins of blue collared labor." Maverick joked. "May they rest in peace."

"Keep joking Mister. But someday you just might be in their shoes." Anna said sternly and humorously.

"Good thing I can't die then. I'm covered." Maverick joked giving two neon covered thumbs up, making Anna laugh at his antics.

"So how're things going for you and the others?" Anna asked after she stopped laughing.

"I assume Donald never gave you the memo?" Aiden inquired remembering how yesterday he touched his nose last.

"Actually he sent me a message on your computer. But you know how I like to talk instead of reading. If it's not from the castle library, I get bored fast." Anna said with enthusiasm.

"Playing it safe, and leaving us to handle the hot coco huh?" Maverick deadpanned and sighed as he opened up Donald's message on the screen for Anna to read. "Come on, just read it. I promise it's short."

"Nope. If you want me to hear Donald's message, you read it to me." Anna said with a cheeky smile on her face.

"I'd rather you do it so it can give me time to take cover from the blast radius." Maverick quipped and winced at the thought of her reaction.

"Either you read it to me, or I tell Elsa I know who dyed her favorite ice dress pink." Anna threatened, making Aiden's face under the armor become deathly pale.

"I knew I should've been adopted by the monkeys." Maverick face palmed himself and groaned. "Alright! We've...may have been...to a world...underwater...with mermaids."

Maverick braced himself.

"Did... did you just say... mermaids?" Anna said in a very calm voice.

"Yes." Maverick squeaked nervously before he constructed a neon shield to hide his face.

"YOU WENT TO A WORLD WITH MERMAIDS?! AND YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME?!" Anna screamed so loud, it shook glass on the other side of the ship.

Maverick gulped as he crossed his heart.

"In my defense. We were going to invite you until after the danger passed. But now we're dealing with something more complicated than Heartless." Maverick said carefully.

'Would you like to see some footage of the team in Atlantica Princess Anna?' IRIS offered while Maverick was shaking his head and waving his hands 'no' at IRIS.

"Yes. I very much would." Anna said with a slight edge in her voice.

'Displaying footage.' IRIS stated as videos of Sora and the team arriving in their mermaid form projected.

---

And one footage of Aiden flexing his bare muscles in front of Victoria who was ready to kill him for flirting in a public ocean.

"Yo Babe! Check out the gun show goin on over here!" Aiden spoke like New York body builder while flexing is arm and then the next one before posing like a Greek athlete. "Boom! Bang! Firepowa!"

"Oh I'll show you firepower if you keep this up" Victoria said in annoyance while getting her hands ignited.

---

"Did you have to show those first?" Maverick groaned.

'You never set up a proper playlist first.' IRIS spoke in her own defense.

Anna smirked at the video.

"At least someone is keeping you in check." Anna joked.

"Ha! Jokes on you Pippy Long stocking. I won her over eventually." Maverick gloated and leaned forward. "Display video 21."

---

Then a footage of Aiden and Victoria kissing and holding each other in their mermaid forms displayed. It was not lewd or inappropriate despite Victoria wearing a shell bra and Aiden being shirtless. It was actually catching and romantic.

That and 'You'll Never Find' by Lou Rawls playing in the background.

---

"Awww. How sweet." Anna beamed before becoming mischievous. "I wonder how your parents would react to this."

"Oh I don't know Red Ledger, maybe Mountain Dew will scream harder if he finds out you did this." Maverick mischievously said back with a crazy smile.

Then some photo of Anna accidentally breaking Kristoff's favorite ice pick came up on the screen. She did replace it though. but Kristoff doesn't know about that whole event.

"You wouldn't dare!" Anna gasped out, her face paling.

"You bite my neck and I'll bite yours Chocolate Thunder." Maverick mused as neon words displayed 'BURN' with a deep voice in the background and a boxing bell ringing.

"One of these days boy." Anna muttered before frowning at him. "You still owe me for not bringing me to see the mermaids. Or becoming one!"

"Well I doubt I can pay you back anyway. Me and the team kinda screwed it up yesterday." Maverick sighed.

"What do you mean?" Anna asked out of concern.

"Do you remember me telling you about that kid I saved at the Danish ruins years ago?" Maverick stated.

"Yes. Vividly actually. It's not something you forget easily." Anna said in thought, slightly cringing, before looking back at her nephew again. "Why?"

"Well..." Maverick bit his lip. "This is the world where Eric lives in, you know the kid in distress that I saved from the Temple of Crime Alley. He's a full grown dude now and we haven't met up again...Yet. But a certain red headed mermaid named Ariel. The one Sora knew from his first voyage last year. Ariel has a major crush on Eric. The kind of 'must-define-your-actions-by-men-around-you' sort of crush. And we tried to hook them up by turning her human, using the Cocoon."

Somehow Anna due to her being super interested in the background of a mermaid based world, was able to understand everything Maverick was saying amid the humorous one liners.

"Are you serious?!" Anna gasped excitedly, loving a good love story. When Maverick nodded, she squealed while holding her face with her hands. "Oh it's a love story in the making. So how'd it go with the Cocoon? I take it that it worked?"

"No." Maverick deadpanned about the Cocoon working.

"No?" Anna asked in surprise. "What do you mean no?! I thought all the tests you ran were all a success! What happened?!"

"Well it turns out Ariel. Or Sea Breeze as I like to call her. Is the princess of the underwater kingdom called Atlantica, not to be confused with Myrtle Beach. And her father is the aquatic king who is second best to Submariner. And he has some kind of prejudiced vendetta against humans for some reason." Maverick stated.

"I take that to mean he wasn't too thrilled with the idea of his daughter becoming one?" Anna asked while crossing her arms.

"Nope. In fact when he found out what we were going to do for Ariel. The king got pissed off at us. Sora took the blame for the Cocoon to cover my fish tail. And it ended up on all of us." Maverick stated and sighed. "The king lashed out at Sea Breeze when he found out she loves a human. Then he cast us out of Atlantica and blew the Cocoon to kingdom come before we could use it."

Then Aiden displayed the footage of Ariel and Triton's argument. And the team's banishment from Atlantica. Including Maverick's statement of trying to convince the king this was a mistake.

"That... That... THAT JACKASS!" Anna screamed. "If I ever meet that blowhard, I'm gonna tear his Beard clean off and glue it back on upside down!"

"Well if you can get past the barrier blocking us from going underwater, and breathing underwater. Be my guest." Maverick shrugged. "But in King Triton's defense, we went behind his back and tried to shift his daughter without permission."

"Why would you need his permission? His daughter is old enough to make such a decision on her own." Anna said while crossed before sighing. "I take it this means operation hookup is a no go?"

"Actually it was called Operation: Matchmaker. Let's show 'Fiddler On The Roof' some respect.." Maverick mused and sighed before he stated. "Yes and no. With no way to get back to Bikini Bottom. Ariel took matters in her own hands."

"What'd she do? Was it something just as crazy or crazier than anything you would have done?" Anna asked.

"It varies, but she had no choice." Maverick swayed his hand. "Ariel went to make a deal with an underwater Sea-Witch named Ursula. Not to be confused with the one from 'George Of The Jungle'. But Sea Breeze made a deal to sell her voice in exchange to become human for three days."

"Only three days? Surely giving up the ability to talk would be worth more than just three lousy days." Anna ranted.

"Oh it is. Like a Keanu Reeves time limit film on Double Jeopardy. All that's missing is Steve Harvey. Bottom line, Ariel has to get her man-date to fall in love with her and kiss her before the three days are up. Or else her soul will belong to the Sea-Witch." Maverick stated the hard part.

"Oh crap." Anna muttered while biting her tongue. "Well that's definitely not good. And I could only imagine the sparks that'll fly if and when her overprotective father finds out about this."

"He's not going to find out. He can't even make three feet without water on his..." Maverick almost said before pondering something about what Anna said.

What if Ursula has an end goal in all of this?

"What is it?" Anna asked.

"I don't want to jump to conclusions yet. But I have a feeling that Malefishent will lose whatever she's got planned if Ariel wins her Myspace boyfriend over. " Maverick figured and looked at Anna on the screen. "Are you busy today by any chance?"

"That depends." Anna said before smirking. "What did you have in mind?"

. "Do you remember how you used to run all of Mom and Dad's dates together?" Maverick asked carefully.

"M-Yes?..." Anna's smile grew bigger.

Maverick made sure to take a deep breath first before asking something he knew his aunt would go overboard over. Despite times call for despite alternatives.

"Can you give us a hand out here? Because matchmaking on the Newlywed games is not one of my special skills." Maverick asked meekly for Anna's help.

"YES! You will have my full support!" Anna shrieked happily. "Can I bring Kristoff, Adina, and Erik?! I'm sure they'd love to help out, and visit a new world! Oh, we'd also have to bring Sven too! They don't go anywhere without the other!"

"You might as well as bring the bathroom sink." Maverick mumbled jokingly.

"So where can we meet you?!" Anna leaned forward waiting for Maverick's response.

Maverick stood up and shifted back in Aiden and his keyblader outfit.

"Head down to the space bridge in the Mav Club. We'll meet you all on the ship." Aiden stated.

"Got it. See you there Sparky!" Anna beamed as she got up and ran to get her family.

"Hopefully Sea Breeze won't suffer from the sugar and chocolate fumes." Aiden shook his head in amusement before he went to address the team about their plans for today.

---

Back in the lower deck...

"So while Vicky and I stay up here and figure out a way to break through Triton's ocean fence from up here. You five will have to go with Aunt Red and the others to help Ariel in the Jim Lange moment." Aiden said to the team.

"By Jim Lange he means their date." Victoria deadpanned.

Before anyone can say anything else, there was a great flash of light, and from the light, appeared Anna, Kristoff, Sven, Adina, Erik, and... Olaf?

"Hi everyone?! Point us to where the love is happening." Olaf beamed playfully which made Kairi fight back a giggle.

"Really?" Victoria amused looking at Anna with her arms crossed and a grin. "You can say no to a snowman can you?"

"Can you?" Anna quipped back. "Can anyone truly say no to such a cute face?"

Olaf smiled happily, making him look funny.

"Of course not. We're not the devil you know Vic." Aiden teased.

"That's debatable." Victoria snorted back at Aiden.

"Don't worry. We picked the perfect disguise. They won't tell the difference between Olaf and an actual desperate Danish salesman. Not that I know any." Kristoff stated before shrugging as he held out an outfit for Olaf.

"Your. Going to dress Olaf up as Popeye the school student?" Aiden inquired humorously.

"I don't know. He'd fit right in with Donald's club." Sora smirked mischievously at Donald.

"Ahyuck!" Goofy chuckled while Donald didn't look amused.

"Ah phooey!" Donald shrugged it off.

"I can see why you invited Anna to help us. But why Kristoff" Kairi asked before cringing, realizing how rude that sounded. "No offense."

"None taken. Actually, I think I can be a great help in getting them together. You see, my family, the ones who raised me, happen to be Love Experts. And they taught me everything they can on the subject." Kristoff said, puffing his chest in pride.

"I am Groot." Baby Groot mused which made Aiden almost choke with laughter. Translate: "Everything except for home run."

"So what did you have in mind for Prince Charming and his date the goldfish?" Aiden asked his uncle.

"I am Groot." Baby Groot corrected. Translate: '

"Ariel is a red head not blonde."

"I know she's redhead. It was just a figure of speech." Aiden deadpanned to Baby Groot..

"So how will you be able to help Ariel?" Sora asked.

"Simple, we act as tour guides." Kristoff said, confusing the other guardians. "You see before coming here, I was told where we would be, and it just so happens that tour guides in these parts also act as dating assistance. So we pose as guides, and help move the date along."

"Are you sure about this?" Kairi asked.

"By the time we're done, they will be kissing by tonight, the earliest." Anna said proudly.

"Oh they can wing it. You oughta see some of Mom's dating videos." Aiden remarked and references how Anna and Kristoff used to assist with Elsa and J'son's dates.

"Not to mention those times we assisted Tori and Aiden's dates." Anna smirked at Aiden and Victoria.

"We've got nothing to hide." Victoria grinned and shrugged.

"Not like Spike over there." Aiden shot a teasing grin at Sora about his crush on Kairi.

"Hey! I have nothing to hide too!" Sora exclaimed while blushing slightly, Kairi doing the same.

"Whatever you say Yu-Gi-Oh and Anzu." Aiden said teasingly, making the two blush even more.

"I'm guessin Sora and Kairi will be the next match makin mission. Ahyuck." Goofy whispered to Anna.

"Oh it's already in the works." Anna smirked and winked.

"I am Groot." Baby Groot smirk as well.

"I'll definitely keep the Jaws theme on reserve." Victoria agreed with the little tree.

"Anyhow. Take this map, follow the notes and script Vic wrote on each stopping point." Aiden handed the map of Eric's kingdom to Kristoff.

"IRIS will drop you off to the entrance of Eric's castle. We'll be close by, but out of sight in case anything happens." Sora stated his role which Kairi nodded in agreement.

"Donald and I will be close by as well." Goofy assured.

"Yeah." Donald nodded.

"I am Groot." Baby Groot said he'll be close as well while hopping on Kairi's shoulder.

"Meanwhile as a reminder. Aiden and I will be up here trying to figure out how to get past that damn banishment barrier." Victoria reminded of her role with her boyfriend.

"If we get this right and in case anything goes south. Will at least be able to stick it to the witch." Aiden remarked.

"Right!" Everyone said at the same time and nodded before IRIS beamed everyone down to their perspective locations for Operation: Matchmaker.

---

Outside the Castle Courtyard…..

Right outside the castle by the entrance, a flash of light occurred, and from the light, appeared Anna, Kristoff, Adina standing in between them, Erik in Kristoff's arms, and Sven to the side, pulling a horse drawn carriage with Olaf at front, who was wearing a Danish salesman outfit to hide the fact that he's a snowman.

"Is everyone ready?" Kristoff asked.

"Ready and waiting." Anna said while smiling.

A minute later, Ariel, Eric, and Grimsby came out of the castle. They spotted the family in front of them and walked towards them.

"Good morning. Can we help you with something?" Grimsby asked politely with a smile on his face.

"No. But we can help you." Kristoff said while smiling. "My name is Kristoff. This is my wife Anna, our daughter Adina, and our son here Erik. With a K so you won't get confused."

Having two people named Eric would've been confusing.

"I figured." Eric remarked with a grin.

"We're your royal tour guides for the day." Anna beamed while smiling at them. "And it just so happens to be Take Your Kids To Work Day."

"Oh splendid. Then I shall leave them in your care." Grimsby said before noticing Olaf. "And who's the gentleman in the carriage?"

"That would be Olaf. He's our assistant and baby sister." Anna beamed cheekily.

"Don't make any comment about his height and skin condition. He's very sensitive." Kristoff whispered to them.

"Plus you know who sends his regards." Anna muttered with a smile to Ariel. While showing her a business card with Sora's heart and crown logo and Aiden's M logo on it.

Ariel's eyes lit up as she realized who sent them.

"Don't worry Sweetie. We got you covered. And between you and me." Anna whispered a squeal. "I'm a huge fan of mermaids."

Ariel smiled at Anna's enthusiasm. She remembered hearing about these people from Aiden's story and the story of his family. Like The Great Thaw. Even Ariel quickly figured that the assistant was Olaf the Snowman from the story as well.

"Well then. I believe you all can take it from here. Enjoy my Prince. Take it slow, but not too slow." Grimsby patted Eric's back as he helped him on board the carriage.

"I got it Grim. See you later." Eric chuckled as he stepped on with Ariel.

Adina was sitting up front with her parents while Anna cradles her baby Erik in her arms.

"Hi." Adina chimed looking back and waving gleefully at Ariel. She liked mermaids too.

Ariel smiled and waved back at her, already liking her. In fact, she already liked all these new people.

"You two comfortable back there?" Kristoff asked looking back at Ariel and Eric.

"Yes sir." Eric said smiling, with Ariel nodding and smiling back.

"Alright then. Off we go." Kristoff said, signaling Sven to start moving.

---

And as the carriage rode down to the kingdom at a steady pace. Getting some distance between the castle and them. Sebastian crawled up to the front of the carriage and Anna spotted him first.

"Ew! Red tarantula!" Anna yelped in disgust before she was about to swat Sebastian away with a book. But Sebastian waved his claws frantically and shushed her.

"Shhh... Don't be alarmed lady! I'm not a spider I'm a crab. I'm with Ariel. I assume de Guardians sent you?" Sebastian whispered up to Anna.

"Oh. Well…. Yes we are." Anna whispered back in realization while she and Kristoff shared a look. "I take it you're one of her friends from the ocean?"

"I suppose you could say dat. But sometimes I feel more like her babysitter." Sebastian whispered while sounding exhausted. "Da name's Sebastian."

"Hey Ariel." Kristoff whispered to Ariel while Eric wasn't looking. "Is the crab really with you?"

Ariel looked up front on the carriage to see Sebastian before she smiled and nodded. Olaf looked to see Sebastian after overhearing him talking to Anna and Kristoff.

"Oh Nice to meet you, you cute little red lobster. I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs." Olaf whispered, picking up Sebastian and began hugging the crab.

"Grrrhhh..." Sebastian choked under his grip and gasped for air when Olaf released him. Then Sebastian shivered from how cold Olaf is and groaned. "Oooh I'd rather be dealing with da crazy chef."

After Olaf released Sebastian from the hug. He dusted himself before he straightened up and looked to Anna and Kristoff.

"I must warn you dat Ariel can be a little too curious for her own good. Especially being out of the water too long." Sebastian mused about how Ariel was pointing at different places as they crossed the woods. Kristoff figured he could handle it since Anna was extremely curious when they at first went out together.

"Don't worry I've dealt with curiosity on a silver platter. But...How curious are we talking?" Kristoff asked the crab.

"Dat curious." Sebastian deadpanned as he pointed at Ariel.

Anna and Kristoff looked back at the passenger seats to see the red head hanging over the back of the carriage, smiling down at how the carriage was driving. Much to Eric's confusion which he hid with a nervous smile.

Sven looked down to grin at Ariel while Anna gently reached over to pull Ariel back on her seat.

"Woeah there! Believe me honey, I was just as curious at your age. But it's kinda dangerous to be hanging over a moving ride. So stay firmly in your seat. Just until the ride stops. Okay?" Anna gently instructed.

Ariel nodded obediently as she remained seated for the rest of the ride.

"These woods happened to be a historical sight when the first king of Denmark traveled with a crew of pioneers to find ancient treasure. As well to discover the proof of life under the ocean. Like mermaids." Kristoff stated like a tour guide while reading the notes Aiden gave him.

As they were riding along, the carriage slowed as it began passing by the town harbor, where Anna and Kristoff looked towards the water to see Flounder swimming and jumping in the water, trying to get their attention.

"Hey... I'm... Flounder... Have... They... Kissed... Yet?" Flounder asked, each word spoken in mid jump. Anna and Kristoff shake their heads no and Flounder frowned at the news as the carriage continued on.

"In case you ask. Dat's Ariel's best friend. Dey use to sneak out of da palace together back home." Sebastian amused.

"Awe..." Anna cooed at how sweet that sounds.

"Do all the fish talk in this world?" Kristoff inquired.

"What do ya think da mouths are for Mon?" Sebastian deadpanned.

"I just assumed it was for eating. And sparing us nightmares." Kristoff shrugged.

---

Soon their carriage rode up to the town square. Where so many people went about their business and their own wonderful day. Kristoff parked the carriage near the town water fountain and helped Eric and Ariel off board.

"And here is the town square. Built since the late 1600s and refurbished every thirty years or so to prevent the blaco plague from killing the competition. Hehe, kidding." Kristoff stated with a little humor.

"Kristoff, not in front of the kids." Anna playfully scolded.

"Sorry Sweetheart. Our nephew back home can be even more contagious with his humor." Kristoff amused.

Ariel looked around, a big smile on her face, looking at the wonders around her. She turned to see a puppet show and grabbed one of the puppets from the puppeteer. Anna rushed over and took the puppet.

"Hehe. Sorry about that sir." Anna said with a nervous giggle giving the puppet back before taking Ariel's hand and leading her to a nearby clothes store. "Come on sweetie. Let's get you a few new dresses to wear."

"We'll stay here until you return with this lucky prince's date." Kristoff grinned as they the others who stood near the carriage. While he held the baby in his arms

"Oh she's not..." Eric almost corrected.

"Stay with Daddy, Adina. Mommy will be back." Anna softly told her daughter.

"Okay Mama." Adina chimed obediently.

"So how did you too meet?" Olaf asked Eric.

Anna and Ariel didn't get to hear the conversation as they walked over towards a fancy dress shop. Thanks to the map Aiden gave her from IRIS analyzing the layout of the kingdom yesterday. It was perfect to help Anna to get around this new place. She managed to memorize a few places during the ride earlier.

"I bet you have a lot of questions. Believe me I do too. This is actually very rare that my nephew would bring me along on one of his dangerous but exciting adventures. Eh not counting the final battle from the last one where I got to drive a giant robot with Kristoff. But I digress." Anna chatted along much to Ariel's amusement as they walked together.

Ariel just listened with an expression of curiosity and optimism.

"Oh sorry. I keep forgetting you can't talk. Don't worry. As soon as you and your oblivious Prince Charming finally kisses you. I bet that can be solved." Anna assured Ariel who nodded with a smile. "So I assume Aiden told you his story and the one about us, right?"

Ariel nodded while smiling.

"So what's Atlantica like? Is it as pretty as I've heard?" Anna asked, which earned her a nod.

"You know I've always wanted to meet a mermaid. It's always been a dream." Anna said beaming before looking into Ariel's eyes. "I take it you felt the same way about humans?"

Ariel beamed and nodded as if she was saying yes.

"Well you might find that being human comes with a variety. Like discovering that your sister has ice powers, meeting a talking snowman, having a schizophrenic boyfriend who talks to reindeer and harvests ice for a living. Meeting a boy who can turn into an armored adult...Oops." Anna bit her lip and giggled in embarrassment. "Those are my discoveries."

Ariel silently giggled at Anna's chipper and giddy side. Despite how hyper she is Anna is quite an inviting person to talk and hang out with.

Ariel can see why Aiden spoke fondly of her and Elsa.

"Well rest assured being a lady who's already gone through the steps of commitment, and helping her sister go through hers. I know all the tricks in making a man beg to become yours... I mean begging to marry you. Not in a slave mind but a husband type mind!" Anna quickly corrected herself which made Ariel look curious about what she meant by that. Then Anna smiled and took her hand as she continued to lead her towards the tailor shop.

"What I'm saying is. You and Eric are in good hands. Also, Victoria and Aiden are working on a way to find out if they can figure out a way to break the sea witch's spell. Not the part about you being human but the part about her owning your soul. Which could give you plenty of time if you know what I mean." Anna grinned.

Ariel nodded as she hoped, whether Sora or Aiden finds a loophole in Ursula's deal or not. She just hopes that all of this will go well between her and Eric. And she hopes that afterwards. Through some miracle that she can patch things up between her and her father. King Triton doesn't understand. But he will. Someway somehow.

Finally Anna found the town's tailor shop. She was having a little trouble due to this place being not so familiar like Arendelle and Corona. And the map had this one place a little disjointed in the ink.

"Ah! Here we are. Sorry I'm kinda new to this town being from another world and all. But don't tell anyone." Anna pointed at Ariel with a playful glare.

Ariel found it to be kinda funny. Because she didn't know if Anna meant 'don't tell anyone that I'm from another world.' Or if she meant 'don't tell anyone I got lost in a new kingdom despite having a map.'

Once they walked in, they were greeted by the tailor who runs the shop. A friendly looking middle aged woman with glasses.

"Why hello there! Are you tourists?" The tailor asked.

"No, I mean yes- I mean..." Anna groaned slightly as she gestures to Ariel. "She is actually. Ariel here is staying at the castle."

"Oh?! Are you a friend of the royal family?" The tailor inquired as he was surprised to hear of a guest coming.

Usually the kingdom is informed of any changes or public matters about what goes on in the castle. To keep them from mistaking anyone's identity.

"Not really. She's with Er- Uh Prince Eric." Anna clarified and leaned forward to whisper to spell out the letters of an important word. "And they're on a D-A-T-E."

"Oh my...Well that's wonderful to hear!" The tailor beamed as she went over to Ariel and took her hand. "Come along my dear. We must take some measurements."

Ariel nodded and followed the tailor to the back of the store to be measured for a new dress.

Back outside in the town square...

While the carriage was still parked near the water fountain. Sven the Reindeer took a breather while Kristoff and Eric were having a conversation near the carriage. The baby slept in Kristoff's protective arms. While Olaf was watching Adina as they were playing with some the other children in a game of tag near the water mountain. You could hear the sound of laughter in a pleasant way from the sound of children. But the fact that Olaf hid his identity as a snowman was a miracle. He usually loses his arms during games like this.

However Eric and Kristoff's conversation was starting to become awkward. A man raised by trolls and living in the woods would bring some of the weirdest things.

"So like I said. They were all dead when I got there." Kristoff sighed giving Sven a condescending look.

"It's not my fault. You're the one that didn't water them."Kristoff spoke for Sven who looked offended.

"I told you to water them and you know it." Kristoff responded to his reindeer which made Eric give him a weird one eyebrow look.

"Dang it Kristoff! I'm a reindeer not a florist!" Sven ranted through Kristoff's mouth as the Reindeer snorted through his snout.

"Yeah well if it weren't for me you would've starved." Kristoff grinned as he gave an argument.

"And if it weren't for me, back then you wouldn't have a job." Sven smirked back.

"Point taken." Kristoff sighed in defeat and he looked at Eric. "You see what I have to deal with?"

"Oy vey. And I thought da seagull was a nut. But Dis mon is a few petals short of a bouquet." Sebastian muttered looking back at Kristoff.

Eric meanwhile just smiled, not sure what to say in this situation. Then he turned and his smile became more cheerful.

"Hey. Welcome back you two." Eric said, drawing Kristoff and Sven to where Eric was looking at. And they saw Ariel returning with Anna behind her talking to the tailor as a bunch of men loaded up all the stuff Anna bought for Ariel into a shopper's carriage.

Anna finished up and ran to catch up to Ariel as they made their way back to Eric and Kristoff.

"Sorry it took so long. I had to tell them to send our purchases back to the castle." Anna said pointing back to the shopper carriage now full of many items.

"Jeez! What you two do? Buy up the whole shop?" Kristoff asked as sweat was dropping at the site.

"Hey! Our lovely lady here needed a whole new wardrobe." Anna said brushing her hair back with her hand. "A girl needs to have variety in her attire."

"Yeah but I don't think you need to bankrupt the royal family to do it." Kristoff mumbled quietly.

"Did you enjoy your dress shopping?" Eric asked Ariel while taking her hand, to which she smiled brightly and nodded yes. "I'm glad to hear that."

"How can you hear anything from her? Da poor girl's mute you idiot." Sebastian muttered to himself from his hiding spot, facepalming himself with his right claw.

After that Kristoff and Anna lead the tour. While Olaf and Adina walked next to them with Ariel and Eric close by. And Anna's baby in her arms this time.

"And this is the famous Lyse havbølge which is Danish for 'Bright Ocean Wave'. Here where all the best seafo- I mean restaurants are displayed. But be careful and make sure you check with your doctor before eating. You could be allergic to some of their delicacies." Kristoff stated as he showed them a walkway area with restaurants and entertainment on both sides. While he also was careful to make sure Ariel doesn't get curious enough to try any of their seafood areas.

Ariel was still walking next to Eric when her eyes lit up and pointed over at an outdoor area where a life band was playing some dancing music. Then she pulled Eric towards the area as Anna smiled at them. Getting the idea.

"Time for some pointers." Anna mused as she popped some knuckles looking confident before she walked over to Ariel to teach her a few moves..

---

A few minutes later...

Eric and Ariel were dancing perfectly together much to the joyful side of Anna and the others watching.

"Awe...She's dancing among her fallen fish brethren." Olaf gushed and raised an eyebrow and looked at Sebastian who was perched on a wine barrel. "Wait she has no idea does she?"

"Let's just change da subject mon." Sebastian groaned in annoyance.

"How did you teach Ariel how to dance so well?" Kristoff asked Anna.

"Simple. I told her dancing is like taking big steps in life. Don't think about making the wrong steps. Just know that you're in control." Anna mused and shrugged. "That and she already knew how to dance as a mermaid. Aiden told me."

Kristoff nodded as he was impressed by how quickly Ariel picked up on the steps.

"You know Ariel would've made an excellent pick for a Princess of Heart if all of this happened last year. It's almost as if her arc was dragged on for the sake of filling a gap in a second chapter of a journey." Olaf mused in deep thought about why her story is happening now.

"If der is a God or Author of dis tale. He hates me." Sebastian muttered in thought.

"Don't worry. This will go well." Olaf assured the crab

"I hope yer right mon." Sebastian sighed and gave a small smile to Ariel dancing with Eric.

"Yeah. I mean unless time runs out for Ariel and her soul is owned by a sea witch and you'll have to explain the whole thing to her father, thus invoking his wrath and your demise and Sora will be unable to continue his journey which will doom the multiverse into the hands of Organization XIII." Olaf listed the odds before patting Sebastian's head. "You have nothing to worry about."

Olaf can't help but unleash the truth about the possibilities. Which made Sebastian stare blankly towards nothing.

"Where's a boiling pot when I need one?" Sebastian deadpanned.

---

After a while of dancing under the sun. The tour continued until Kristoff drove the carriage out of town by crossing over a bridge. Since Aiden's map stated for them to stop over towards a lagoon near the edge of the kingdom.

As the carriage crossed over a bridge. Flounder was watching from underneath as Scuttle flew in and perched nearby to see how everything was going.

"Yo, Flounder! Any kissing?" Scuttle asked.

Flounder sadly looked down. "No, not yet." He shook his head.

The seagull scratched his chin. "Hmm. Well they better get crackin'." He pointed out.

Then Sora uncloaked himself standing under the bridge to reveal himself and assure Ariel's friends.

"No worries. They're last stop is just ahead. They are sure to kiss by then." Sora said with confidence.

"Hey is Ariel about to drive the carriage over a gap?" Goofy noticed as he dropped his cloak.

"Wait, they just let her drive?!" Kairi dropped her cloak and panicked.

"OH NO!" Donald exclaimed in fear as he dropped his cloak.

"No wait. They made it." Goofy noticed."Anna and the kids seemed to like it though."

And they all sighed in relief. This probably won't be a breeze for Sea Breeze.

---

The evening down in a lagoon...

After Kristoff and Anna concluded the tour. They helped the young mermaid and prince on board a row boat and allowed them to row out into the lake in private. Anna and Kristoff stood by and watched along with their kids, while Sora and the others came over and dropped their cloak the moment Eric rowed the boat out far enough. The evening was pretty foggy so they couldn't be seen.

Aiden and Victoria were still up on the gummi ship working on a way to break through the barrier around the ocean.

"How did it go?" Kairi asked Anna and Kristoff

"I am Groot?" Baby Groot asked the same thing.

"Well, they're getting along nicely. But they haven't gotten any closer to the big moment yet!" Anna groaned out frustrated.

"It's Eric. He's too shy to make the first move. Which is not good for us right now." Kristoff said, crossing his arms looking towards the couple.

"Yeah I don't like the sound of that." Sora sighed.

A moment later, Scuttle flew down to them and Flounder surfaced from the water near the shore.

"Hey. How's it going?" Flounder asked with hope in his voice, only for them to sigh, putting a damper on that.

"Let me guess. Only one day left and that boy ain't puckered up yet?" Scuttle guessed.

"You got it." Kristoff said tensely. "Not exactly a comforting thought."

"Who knew there would be so much tension in trying to get one little kiss?" Flounder sighed.

"You could say that again little guy. But I guess I'm the one to talk." Anna remarked about the time she thought she needed to kiss Kristoff when her heart froze.

"O.K." Scuttle said, stretching his wings, getting the guardians attention. "All right, this calls for a little vocal romantic stimulation. Stand back."

"Uh Scuttle, maybe you shouldn't-" Kairi started before Scuttle flew off. "Do that."

Scuttle flew up to a tree and landed on a branch, knocking a few small birds off the branch before he started singing. The singing of course was so terrible, it sounded like a dying chicken strip. Donald and Goofy covered their ears, the others cringing. It was just terrible.

"Oh my goodness that is terrible." Kairi said cringing.

"And I thought Donald's singing was bad." Sora commented.

"Hey!" Donald snapped back, still holding his ears

"He's right you know." Goofy said with a nervous smile.

"Wow. Somebody should find that poor animal and put it out of its misery." Eric commented as he rowed the boat underneath the branch. Ariel smiled nervously before looking up at Scuttle, who just an all good sign with his wing while still singing, making Ariel facepalm.

Aiden happened to tune into Sora's gummi phone when he could hear Scuttle's obnoxious singing on the phone's speaker the moment Sora answered.

"What's going on down there Spike? It sounds like Jonah Hill's grandmother is choking on a broken harmonica." Aiden called from Sora's gummiphone.

"Scuttle thought that him singing would be a great way to get Ariel and Eric to kiss." Sora said, cringing as the horrible singing continued. "But I think it's having the opposite affect."

"Damn. I knew I should've brought the dumbass repellent. Okay I have some zoom in artillery from up here. Do you need me to pop a cap in Beek Cheney's head and be done with-'' Aiden almost asked.

"No no no. I think we can handle it." Sora dismissed Aiden's offer to shoot Scuttle.

"Alright well I'm up here if you need an extra keyblade." Aiden assured before they hung up.

Sebastian was right next to the road boat as he was covering his earholes with his claws.

"Jeez, man, I'm surrounded by amateurs!" Sebastian ranted as he swam in the water to pick a small twig. "You want something done, you've got to do it yourself."

Then Sebastian swam up to a small group of ducks and turtles. Silently requesting them to set a romantic mood in the water as Fantasia was in effect.

"First, we got to create the mood." Sebastian whispered as he signaled them to start some music.

"Percussion..." The ducks began drumming on the turtle's shells. Sebastian turned to a group of Crickets. "Strings..." The Crickets began rubbing their legs together, making music. Sebastian then jumped up and broke a few bamboo shoots. "Winds..." The wind blew in and around the shoots, making a more beautiful music. Sebastian then jumped on a plant with an end that looked like a microphone. "Words..." Sebastian bowed before turning to the microphone part and began singing.

"There you see her~" Sebastian sang as the boat got closer. "Sitting there across the way~ She don't got a lot to say~ But there's something about her~" Eric began looking at Ariel more intently as she smiled and looked around. "And you don't know why~ But you're dying to try~ You wanna kiss the girl~" Sebastian quietly sang the last part before jumping away as Eric looked back at where he was a moment ago.

"Did you hear something?" Eric asked Ariel. She just smiled nervously and shook her head no.

"Yes, you want her~ Look at her, you know you do~" Sebastian sang with a chorus from the ducks and turtles. "Possibly she wants you too~"

Eric felt timid as the music was feeling magical. Ariel was feeling same as she was waiting for the moment for him to act first. She was looking down fiddling with her pony tail, feeling hopeless at first but she perked up when he smiled at her.

"There is one way to ask her~" Sebastian sang with the silent chorus and a flamingo harmonizing with the crab. And several more Flamingos joined in. "It don't take a word~ Not a single word~ Go on and kiss the girl~"

Ariel almost kissed Eric. But he was thinking too much about the possible girl that saved him. And he didn't want to abandoned meeting her and settle for Ariel. Ariel slumped when he turned away and Sebastian and the flamingo's frowned before the crab dipped his head in the water and requested help from the water.

"Sing with me now." Sebastian says as the music picks up.

Sora and the others stood by as they could see from hiding behind the bushes. They were enjoying the sight but they were rooting for Ariel to finally kiss.

Then some frogs stuck to the end of oars as they began to sing with Sebastian's group.

"Sha la la la la la~ My oh my~ Look like the boy too shy~ Ain't gonna kiss the girl~" They sang as Ariel leaned her chin on the palm of her hand. Silently huffing as Eric wasn't going to do it. "Sha la la la la la~ Ain't that sad?~ Ain't it a shame?~ Too bad, he gonna miss the girl~"

Then Eric began to have a small talk with Ariel hoping to lighten up the mood.

"You know, I feel really bad not knowing your name." Eric mused which Ariel perked up at. "Heh, maybe I could guess. Is it, err, Mildred?"

Ariel cringed and shook her head at the name. She even stuck her tongue out which made Eric laugh.

"Okay, no." Eric chuckled, putting his hand to his chin, thinking. "How 'bout….Diana?"

Ariel shook her head no.

"Rachel?" Eric guessed again. Sebastian swam to the boat.

"Ariel. Her name is Ariel." Sebastian whispered with a frustrated face before going back underwater.

"Ariel?" Eric whispered to himself, to which Ariel nodded with a smile. "Ariel?"

Eric looked at Ariel and smiled and took her hands.

"Well, that's kinda pretty." Eric said, making Ariel smile. "Okay. Ariel."

The boat began floating towards a tree, as Sebastian began singing again.

"Now's your moment~" Sebastian sang, two birds pulling back the curtain of vines to let the boat pass through underneath the canopy. "Floating in a blue lagoon~ Boy you better do it soon~" Sebastian emerged from the water as the boat passed by. "No time will be better~" several little fishes jumped out of the water singing "She don't say a word~" Sebastian dove back underwater and several fish began following him. "And she won't say a word~ Until you kiss the girl~" several more fish gathered underneath the boat and began swimming in a circle, making the boat slowly spin, adding more atmosphere to the mood.

Sora and the others watched from behind the vines. Because of the banishment barrier. They could walk under water. And because Anna and Kristoff are related to Aiden. They could stand on the water as well Sven and Kristoff watched Aidina and Erik from the carriage since they were napping to even notice.

Soon Sora and the others began to join in the song as the wonderful singing voices of Anna and Kristoff joined in. Goofy covered Donald's beak so he couldn't disrupt it with his duck voice. Much to Donald's frustration as he fought and struggled to get out of Goofy's grip.

"Sha la la la la la~ Don't be scared~ You got the mood prepared~ Go on and kiss the girl~ Woah woah!~" All the creatures in the lagoon sang as Sebastian as in lead with the Guardians in the background and Anna and Kristoff harmonizing the tune.

Even Olaf could hear the song from way over by the carriage. The snowman smiled and shrugged as he swayed his head back and forth to the music.

The boat spun in slow circles as it looked like they were getting close.

"Sha la la la la la~ Don't stop now~ Don't try to hide it how~ You want to kiss the girl~ Woah woah!~" Sebastian kept the lead as Eric and Ariel held hands and they smiled at each other.

The Flamingos danced to the soft melody as the singing continued.

"Sha la la la la la~ Float along~ And listen to the song~ The song say kiss the girl~" The Flamingos sang as they had to stop Scuttle from ruining the song by choke holding his beak.

"Sha la la la la~ The music play~ Do what the music say~ You got to kiss the girl~" The all sang as all the whispers around was encouraging them to kiss.

Eric and Ariel was feeling the magic and passion. This time whatever doubt Eric felt was slowly being pushed aside as he was leaning slowly towards Ariel and the girl was doing the same.

"You've got to kiss the girl~ You wanna kiss the girl~ You've gotta kiss the girl~ Go on and kiss the girl~" The song was concluding as all the fish. Flamingos. Ducks. Turtles. Even Anna and Kristoff. Including Sora and the team were whispering and cheering silently for them to finally close.

It seemed like it was finally about to happen...Until.

The boat suddenly tipped over, knocking the two into the water. Everyone watching just groaned at the site.

"Oooh. So close." Kairi whined, facepalming.

"How could this have gone wrong?" Sora groaned as his hung his head over.

"Hey fellas, look!" Goofy said urgently, pointing towards the boat, and they gasp, seeing two familiar eels.

"Waak! It's Ursula's stooges!" Donald quacked out and growled, watching as the two laughed quietly before diving back into the water.

"Don't worry fellas! I'll get em!" Goofy said, making a move to dive into the water, only to face plant himself due to Triton's spell. "OW!"

"Goofy! We can't go underwater here anymore! Remember?!" Donald snapped at the dog knight.

"Oh right. I forgot. Ahyuck!" Goofy exclaimed from his spot, making Donald sigh in exasperation.

While all this was going on, Ariel and Eric broke the surface of the water, not knowing what was going on with the others.

"Whoa, hang on. I've gotcha." Eric said before grabbing Ariel and guiding her back to shore.

Meanwhile, Flotsam and Jetsam continued swimming away, bumping tails in victory.

"Nice work, boys." Ursula said to them telepathically, having watched the seen from their eyes.

---

Back down in Ursula's Lair…...

Ursula was not happy at the close call that she just witnessed through her magic bubble.

"That was a close one. Too close. The little tramp!" Ursula snapped, running her hand through her hair. "Oh, she's better than I thought."

Ursula swam up to one of the shelves and grabbed two small bottles of potion and a glass bubble with a living butterfly inside.

"At this rate, he'll be kissing her by sunset for sure." Ursula exclaimed, throwing the two potions and butterfly into her cauldron. "Well, it's time Ursula took matters into her own tentacles!"

Ursula held onto her pendant with Ariel's voice inside, beginning to smile evilly.

"Triton's daughter will be mine - and then I'll make him writhe. I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook!" Ursula declared, the magic from the caldron now surrounding her and changing her as she laughed evilly, her body and voice changing all the while.

---

That night on the gummi ship...

Anna and Kristoff returned with the team, Olaf and the children via the teleportation bridge. Once they were on board they sulked at the fact they failed to get Eric and Ariel to kiss.

Now she only has until sunset tomorrow.

Victoria walked up to the team after coming down from the top deck. Everyone took a seat on some comfortable chairs and sofas.

Adina and Erik were already fast asleep. Including Olaf who slept next to them on the couch.

"I'd take it all went well considering?" Victoria figured by the look on everyone's face.

"Not completely." Kairi sighed.

"What happened?" Victoria asked.

"Ursula's little hench-eels happened." Sora grimaced.

"They tipped over the boat in the lagoon before their happy ending could happen." Anna groaned.

"They didn't even kiss after they got back on board from the mood being killed." Kristoff sighed.

"She only has till sunset tomorrow." Goofy sulked.

"Now what are we gonna do?" Donald hung his head.

"We probably won't need to get them smooching to break the deal with Ursula." Victoria stated some good news which got their attention. "Aiden thinks he found a way to break through the barrier."

"I'm close actually." Aiden said as he came down from the bridge with a gummi tablet in his hand while scrolling through some documents and details. " The only problem is finding a suitable element to reintegrate the cosmic entanglement between the barrier's electromagnetic radiation and waves length?"

"Huh?" Sora inquired looking at Victoria wondering what Aiden just said.

The whole room didn't understand.

"The barrier breaking spell he just came up with just needs a magic object to keep it on long enough for it to work." Victoria translated.

"Oh. Why didn't you just say so?" Sora scoffed looking at Aiden.

"Cause I like making your brain hurt. That and I don't go easy on slow pokes." Aiden winked teasingly at Sora.

"Hey! That's not fair!" Sora whined, making Kairi giggle.

Aiden walked over to the ship's window and began thinking.

"You said you needed a magic item for this plan of yours to work." Anna started inquiring. "What kind of magic item do you need specifically?"

"Well, Mostly infinite. something that works on a neutral basis, if it can handle the extreme heat." Aiden answered as he pulled up the specs to read.

Everyone began thinking, until thought of something familiar.

"What about the M'Kraan Crystal?" Kristoff suggested

"That... Could work." Victoria admitted and approved of the idea. Aiden just absent-mindedly nodded.

"It could. There's just one problem with that." Aiden spoke, getting their attention. "The Nova Corp has it under lockdown. The new treaty they signed with the remaining Shi'ar sectors forbid anyone from outside to use it's power."

"Unless that person was born and raised in the Shi'ar Empire." Victoria said, confusing Aiden which made her grin."Someone of royal background."

It took a moment or two realize what she was hinting at.

" My old man." Aiden facepalmed in frustration at taking so long to connect the dots. He even muttered to himself. "Ugh Mav you can be a dumb ass sometimes.

"Well, look who's a slowpoke now." Sora quipped back smirking, making Kairi giggle at his antics.

"Says the dude with the size 7/11 who needed help with spelling the word calculator?" Aiden deadpanned back at Sora.

Sora's eyes widened and he looked at Kairi.

"You told him about that?!" Sora gasped.

"Hey. He asked." Kairi mused and shrugged with a giggle.

Suddenly before Aiden could contact his father and ask for help in retrieving a shard of the M'Kraan Crystal. IRIS gave off an auto alert noise throughout the ship. Thankfully it wasn't loud enough to wake Erik.

'Attention Guardian's I'm picking up an energy signature 60 miles off the coast.' IRIS announced.

"Can you identity?" Victoria asked.

' Perhaps someone should say 'speak of the devil'. Because the readings of this mysterious signal are the same readings, as a M'Kraan Crystal' IRIS stated which surprised all of them.

"I am Groot?!" Baby Groot exclaimed in shock.

"Yeah what are the odds?" Aiden agreed with the little tree.

"That's impossible. No other object in the known multiverse has the same vast amounts of energy." Victoria said in disbelief.

"Well either someone managed to steal a piece of the Crystal without anyone noticing. Or we just need to accept just how big the multiverse really is." Aiden pointed out and inquired at Victoria. "Counter point.

"Hmm….Well. I guess we don't have to call Jase then." Victoria figured. "We can't ignore a signal like this."

'The signal is bouncing from one location to another across this world. It will take a while to narrow it down.' IRIS stated as her tracker was having trouble.

The Guardians could see the location changing from one point on the map to another.

"You don't think someone is doing this on purpose do you?" Kairi wondered.

"If they are. They'll be hell to pay." Victoria said while igniting her fists.

"Triangulate the readings until you get a lock on the signal IRIS. Once you've got the location. Bring the ship close but not too close." Aiden told the computer what to do.

''Yes Mav. Setting a course and narrowing the signal now.' IRIS stated as she autopilot the shop to fly over the coast south of Denmark.

But once the signal bounce to another location the ship change the course so he can get a lock on what the signal is and where it's really located.

"I'm guessing this will take all night." Sora slumped on the couch as she ship flew.

"Might as well get comfortable." Sven relaxed on the floor.

"My thoughts exactly bud." Kristoff mused as he chose a comfortable chair.

Anna was already asleep on another couch. The lower deck of the Starburst was pretty big and very comfortable. Like a luxury yacht or a condo like spaceship.

So eventually after a few hours of waiting for IRIS to narrow the search. the team eventually went to their rooms on the ship while Anna and Kristoff chose one of the guest rooms for them and their kids.

Something told Sora and Aiden that this would probably go on longer than a night. They just hoped they could get this done soon.

Before Ariel ran out of time.

---

That night on shore near the castle...Half an hour earlier...

A young woman emerged out of the water near the beach. With black hair and wearing a purple dress came walking up with Ariel's voice.

This woman was the sea witch Ursula herself in human form. Taking the name Vanessa as a means to hide her identity.

As she was walking slowly over to the castle on that foggy night. A red and black light appeared next to the water which alarmed Ursula. She turned to see what she thought was the Maverick.

She scoffed. "I didn't know brooding was your style." Ursula mocked.

This was not the Maverick. It was Stormur. His Nobody.

"It's is not his style." Stormur responded in a monotoned voice.

"Ah. Well who knew a boy with two identities would have so many enemies?" Ursula's chuckled evilly."So who might you be?"

"Irrelevant." Stormur denied telling his name to her and stated his business. "If Sora or the Maverick discovers what you have planned for the prince tomorrow. They will stop you. Unless they're distracted."

"Hm hm hm. Let me guess. You're the distraction?" Ursula mused.

"You catch on quickly." Stormur walked over to her. "I can not only lure them away. But Triton as well."

Ursula pondered with her finger tapping her chin. "Mmmm...Tempting. But I've got plans for the old fishmonger and his glorified pitchfork. So if you're going to hold him. At least do it for a while. But you can do whatever you want with Sora's team and the armored boy scout he call's friend."

"That's all I ask. Only I will need a little something from you. Just an incentive to draw him far away from here." Stormur stated what he required. Then he held his hand out. "Do we have a deal?"

Ursula was hesitant at first to trust this nobody. But the chance to illuminate the wretched fool who foiled her plans a year ago, was too tempting to decline.

"We have a deal." Ursula said smiling wickedly, holding out her hands and two dark shells appeared, floating in front of her. "These shells are mystical beacons. Who ever holds can change them to become whatever means to lure an enemy, right down the energy they release into the air."

The beacons float into Stormur's outstretched hands, and began glowing an ominous purple.

"I believe these will do." Stormur said, the beacons shining even brighter as he willed them to become the perfect tools for his ambitions.

So Stormur departed to carry out his plan while Ursula went towards Eric's castle to carry out her own plan.

---

The next morning in Atlantica...

A seahorse swam up to the king's throne to address Triton who turned to see the trouble.

"What's wrong?" Triton asked.

"Sire! Our search party sent a report back here! I believe found Princess Ariel. But the area is guarded by monsters and a man in armor! They need your help!" The sea horse stated to King Triton.

King Triton widened his eyes. "What?! Stay here! I deal with this myself!" He ordered before he swam off at high speed.

King Triton swim across the ocean at breakneck speed ready to bring his daughter safely home. With his triton in his hand determined to handle all odds. Once he got there to the location. King Triton emerged from the water and found a small tropical island surround by palm trees and was deserted. He saw a mermaid figure hanging from the abandoned pier like she was sitting.

"Ariel! Thank goodness I've found you." Triton swam over thinking it was his daughter. But once he touched the mermaid, she shifted back into a black sea shell. Showing it was a fake Ariel.

"What is the meaning of this?" King Triton growled in anger.

"Just a diversion." He heard as Triton turned to see Stormur hold his hand out and trap him in his next game for Maverick.

---

Six hours later on board the Starburst…..

The Starburst gummi ship flew all day long. Trying to narrow down the signal took longer than they thought. They even passed the time with lunch. TV. Games and Anna telling the team stories about Aiden's childhood in Arendelle much to their amusement and Aiden's embarrassment.

Soon the shop flew over towards the island. And it hovered just above the area within the clouds.

'Signal located.' IRIS announced.

"About damn time." Aiden stood up and nodded to the team.

The Guardian's nodded back as they got ready for action inside. Sora shifted in his armored form while Aiden was in his Maverick form. Victoria was in her Blaze form and Kairi was in her armor.

'Guardians. The signal is just down in the island below us. I'd advise caution as the darkness readings are extremely high.' IRIS stated to the team.

"Then we better stay on our toes." Blaze suggested which they agreed.

As they were making their way towards the ship's exit point Maverick turned to face his Aunt and Uncle.

"Aunt Anna, Uncle Kris. You both stay up here and keep the ship and kids safe. If anything happens tell IRIS to beam us back up if we need to." Maverick said to Anna and Kristoff.

"Got it. Give them hell Aid." Kristoff said while grinning.

"You better be careful down there Aiden. I don't want to have to tell your mother you disappeared on a tropical island" Anna said sternly with a smirk.

"I'll try but who knows. A tropical paradise and a spicy lady? I might get lost down there for a while

" Maverick said humorously.

"Want to repeat that?" Blaze growled slightly. But before she could make her move, Maverick pressed a button, and the guardians were beamed off the ship and onto the island.

Down below the location….

Once the Guardians made it to the location IRIS tracked down. They beamed down to a deserted tropical Island. They looked around to see nothing but palm trees and sand and a thick fog. The team couldn't see anything until Goofy squinted and saw what appeared to be a merman trapped in a black neon bubble filled with water.

It was obvious who that was.

"King Triton!" Goofy alarmed the team who turned to see the king.

Before anyone could respond. The island became surrounded by many Nobody Dusks, Creepers, Dragoons, Assassins and Berserkers.

Each Nobody class was scattered around the island facing the team as if they were looking for a fight. Sora and Maverick stood in their fighting stance while the other Guardians did the same. Kairi was the first to swing at a Dusk. Taking it down instantly. Then Kairi swung in many durations as some Creepers and Assassins tried to attack her at once. Coming at her. But Kairi used her freeflow abilities to dodge and move with style as she swung around some palm trees and striking at them with one thrust. Taking some of them out. Then Blaze followed up with running up Kairi's back in a combo move to slam her keyblade down to cause an EMP burst. Stunning many of them as they unleashed a double team flurry of slashes at the stunned Nobodies.

Sora and Maverick stood back to back as Maverick shifted his keyblades into an ice and neon assault rifles and began shooting multiple lasers and ice bullets at some Berserkers. While Sora was slashing. Jumping and flipping around as he would run around Maverick in circles taking some out. Sora would use his keyblade to deflect some of Maverick's shots into another Nobody. Which he called teamwork.

Donald and Goofy unleashed flurries of Thunder, Ice and Fire spells. Including a few winds spells as they swung their respective weapons. While Baby Groot sat back watching while eating a banana he found fallen off a tree.

Pretty sound as Sora and Maverick were thinning out the herd of Nobodies. Maverick heard a sudden sound that caught him off guard. Stormur rushed in and sucker punched Maverick in the face.

"Ooof!" Maverick said in a millisecond as he staggered and fell onto the sand.

Maverick flipped back up and stood against his Nobody. As Stormur was standing there. Looking for trouble as always.

"This is really starting to get old Copyright." Maverick taunted.

With the team busy fighting all of the spawned Nobodies. Maverick and Stormur got this fight all to themselves.

"If creative repetition brings you one step closer to your demise. Then in your words. ***k it." Stormur snorted dryly.

Then Stormur transformed into a hybrid of owl and hawk with Neon crystal wings. His face was a horned skull of an owl that contained blue eyes of pain fueled malice. His feet carried blades of vengeance that would cut the skies to obtain what he seeks.

The name of Stormur's form is called Storm Hawk.

"Oh shit on Darwin that's fowl." Maverick's eyes widened at the sight.

then the wings of Storm Hawk slashed at Maverick but Maverick teleported out of the way and he reappeared above Storm Hawk in the split of a second. Then Maverick formed a giant neon mountain and dropped it on top of Stormur. But with wings of lighting, Storm Hawk sliced the ice mountain in half, continuing his accent reaching his desired position and he fired feather of lighting at Maverick before descending with a shrieking roar.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" The Storm Hawk roared.

Maverick blocked the razor blazing feathers with his keyblades before he landed and felt the need to adapt as his eyes glowed and he grimaced as he hovered in front of Storm Hawk.

Maverick felt as the neo-particles in his bloodstream adapted. And some new power moves and shift abilities were embedded into his mind.

"Two can play Kiju, Hot wings." Maverick mused with a smirk.

Then his hands glowed a bright neon blue and green as he formed and shifted himself into a giant creature as well. Shifting with his ice powers as he formed himself into a giant Gorilla made of ice.

An Ice Ape to be precise.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Ice ape roared at Storm Hawk.

Storm Hawk glared before firing pellets of plasmic neon at Ice Ape. But Ice Ape blocked the pellets with his form arms before taking a blow from Storm Hawk who rammed into him. Soon enough Storm Hawk canceled his attack before he turned his wings into long legs and lets his talons do the business. Icy fur flew everywhere as his talons kept scraping and clawing at Ice Ape, but along with electric feathers that floated down.

Ice Ape kicked Stormur away and healed his own wounds thanks to his healing factor. Then Ice Ape regained his stands as he glared furiously at Storm Hawk and growled as he formed two neon tomahawk axes in his hands.

Because of Maverick's strong connection with his friends being there. His neon and ice powers are very strong.

So when Storm Hawk tried slashing at Ice Ape's torso. The giant Gorilla swung his arms and sliced the talons clean off. Then he gave a little bit of payback as he slashed at Storm Hawk's torso with his tomahawk to stagger him. Then he jumps over Storm Hawk and grabs him by one leg and swung him down on the ground. Multiple times like an angry Gorilla before he swung Storm Hawk around and tossed him aside.

But Storm Hawk is no pushover as he shrieked an electrified roar that gave off a strong wind. "RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!"

The roar was so strong, that it forced Ice Ape back before he slips up and takes to the stormy skies. Red and black lighting flickers as the Storm Hawk flies like a bolt of chaos. In his talons are balls of electrified nothingness that he drops on Ice Ape.

Ice Ape took a few painful hits from the electro balls. But when Ice Ape fell on the sandy ground, he looked up at the electro balls. But before they could hit him. Sora appeared and dashed into the air using his freeflow leaps and slashes at the electro balls. Dispersing them. One by one as Sora bounced off of every single one of them giant balls dispatching to Sora's magical armored form. The balls didn't hurt him.

Then Sora landed next to Ice Ape as Storm Hawk stood against them and Ice Ape got up on his feet and snarled and bared sharp teeth.

"Give it up Binky! You're no match for the both of us!" Sora taunted Stormur's bird form.

"Hmph. Your cockiness is making you reckless Roxas." Stormur in his Storm Hawk form scoffed.

"That's Sora!" Sora barked back.

However instead of responding to Sora. The Experimental Nobody had a special trick up his sleeves as he grabbed a Dragoon and a Berserker and put them together into a mixer form called a Warhammer Nobody. A kind of Nobody with the arms of the Berserker and the legs, wings, and head of the Dragoon. The Warhammer Nobody was armed with a spiky hammer that had the Nobody symbol on it. Then the Warhammer Nobody joined the fight along with its superior.

"Did he just shift two of the lobotomized goons into a Banksy?" Maverick inquired humorously in his Ice Ape form.

"I got him!" Sora ran for the Nobody with his keyblade ready.

"Wait!" Ice Ape tried to stop him.

Sora leapt and slashed at the Warhammer Nobody.

Sora soon learned that Two nobodies in one body is tougher to take on than you expect as he was sent flying back.

"Agh!" Sora grunted as he hit and tumbled onto the sandy ground.

He groaned as stood up. Sora managed to get few scapes, cuts and bruises on his face and arms.

What he didn't realize when he attacked was Stormur had put the two nobodies together, he fused their minds together as well. But this is the tip of the iceberg of Stormur's secret skill. Which he learned to do during training when he found out when he bumped into a Dusk and a Creeper, resulting in the first Creeping Dusk.

"Sora!" Kairi yelled and caught the scene of when Sora was knocked again by the Warhammer's weapon, as she ran to help out.

Sora was smacked a third time as it was more painful than the last. But he regained his stance as Kairi rushed in to help him stand up. They both stood against the Warhammer Nobody. But for this MoNobody, it was a combo of two hard hitting spawns, which was making it impossible for Sora and Kairi to strike.

Sora tried a fireball spell but the Nobody knocked it aside. Kairi tried a thunder spell but her attack was blocked. When the Warhammer tried to swing and slam it's hammer on the two. Sora and Kairi dodged and rolled away.

Then Sora hatched an idea. He pulled out a Heartbinder. A new one he got two worlds ago. And he activated it. "Give me Strength!" He yelled.

Then the Earth rumbled as a juggernaut made of rocks and stone emerged from the ground and ran into to stand with Sora as he flexed his rocky muscles.

This hero from the World of Marvel roared. "IT'S CLOBBERIN TIME!"

That's right. Sora summoned Ben Grimm. Also known as The Thing from the most famous Fantastic Four.

'Hmph. Maybe I should've gone with the Samurai Shogun.' Stormur thought to himself.

Then the Thing pounds his fists as he charged after the Warhammer Nobody.

When the Nobody swung it's spiky hammer into the Thing's voice. It broke into. Then the Thing scoffed with a mischievous grin as he delivered an uppercut punch to the Nobody and threw a hard fist into it's torso. Then the Thing stomped on the Warhammer and he picked up the Nobody before slamming it into a palm tree.

Then the Thing ran over and elbow slammed into the Nobody's back. Taking it down instantly.

"Woah!" Sora exclaimed in awe.

"That's why you're my favorite from the comics!" Kairi called out chipperly to the Thing.

The Thing grinned at Kairi. "Thanks. I live to clobber." He remarked giving her a thumb up.

'Should have put more substance into the frame.' Stormur thought in annoyance.

"You still got a few more minutes. Until your summons time expires." Blaze stated as she slammed down a Berserker.

The thing looked around at the remaining Nobodies and grinned.

"Might as well make the best of their remaining seconds!" The Thing smirked as he charged to smash at the remaining Nobodies.

Stormur as Storm Hawk was still fighting Maverick as Ice ape. But soon Storm Hawk broke Ice Ape's guard and thrusted his wings as he impaled Ice ape with his razor sharp wings. Slamming Ice ape down as he roared in pain. Then Storm Hawk screeched as he charged his wings with electricity. Shocking Ice Ape.

"RAAAAAGCH!" Ice Ape howled in pain.

But Ice Ape had enough energy to grimace and head bud Storm Hawk in the face. Staggering him, making his wings slipped out of Ice Ape's torso.

The draining effect of Storm Hawk's shock attack affected both of them as they both dropped their giant monsters forms. And they both shifted back into Stormur and Maverick as they stood landed and stood facing each other. Seven feet away as they prepared to burn each other with the combined might of their powers.

They both held their hands out and fired fusion beams of both of their powers. For Maverick it was ice and neon. For Stormur it was lightning and neon. Their beams collided and pushed at the same speed and power level. The island lit up from how the fusion beams were glowing brighter and getting louder as both Maverick and Stormur screamed. Then their powers increased to the highest peak.

Then suddenly…...

*BOOOOM!*

Their fusion beams caused a shockwave that knocked everyone down and wiped out the remaining Nobodies that the Thing didn't finish off.

Everyone stood back up to see that Stomur was gone. Since the team was still alive and Stormur was unaffected by the blast. More than likely got away once again to prepare for another fight.

This round was a draw.

---

With the fight over. Everyone stood back up as the Maverick and the Thing shook hands. He even shook Sora's hand.

"Good luck on your journey kid. Give me another call if you need something pounded into submission again." The Thing grinned and winked at Sora.

"Will do." Sora smiled and nodded.

Then the Thing faded away as his summons from the Heartbinder wore off.

Everyone shifted out of their armored forms while Aiden took over the neon bubble King Triton was still trapped in, and he hovered it over the water. Aiden allowed the neon bubble to pop and King Triton dropped right into the water safely. He reemerged as he wasn't in a good mood.

He glared at the team as he gripped his triton.

"WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER?!" King Triton bellowed at the team.

"How about you catch your breath Neptune. You can thank us any time your ready." Aiden snorted at Triton while his back was toward the king and he was searching the island for clues.

Aiden found the two dark sea shells Ursula gave Stormur as he quickly figured out how Stormur drew both the Guardians attention and King Triton's attention to this island. But why?

"Thank you?!" Triton claimed outrage. "Why would I ever thank you?! It's because of you that this all happened in the first place!"

"Sorry who just saved your wet ass from becoming fish sticks by Aid's evil clone?!" Victoria barked back at him.

"Guys let's just calm down for a second." Kairi tried to ease everyone.

"Calm down? I was just nearly killed by those monsters, and my daughter is still missing!" Triton ranted back.

"And the reason is because of the situation you put us all in. Admit it. You overreact and your daughter took off to make a move of her own." Victoria glared back.

"And the reason we couldn't save her is because you kicked us out of Sea World and locked the doors. We had no way to stop her." Aiden stated.

"stop her? From doing what?" Triton demanded to know.

Sora crossed his arms and looked at the team. They nodded because King Triton had a right to know. That and it's only a half an hour left before the sun sets.

So Sora looked to King Triton and sighed. "She went to Ursula and made a deal. In exchange for becoming human, she had three days to kiss Eric. Or her soul will belong to the sea witch." He stated the truth.

"And that was almost 47 hours ago." Kairi added much to Triton's horror and anger.

"N-no..." Triton muttered out, consumed by grief and anger. "How could this have happened?"

"It wouldn't have happened if you had heard us out before. Unlike Ursula. We were going to show her a simulation of what it was like to be human. And you would've been the one to send her back home." Victoria pointed out with a frown.

"And if it weren't for that invisible pavement fence you put up for us. We would've stopped her." Aiden testified.

"You never informed me of what you all were doing!" King Triton scowled at them.

"Because we knew how you would react!" Sora argued.

"How else was I supposed to react?! You were going to turn my daughter into a savage human and she never would've come back!" Triton roared.

"And who's the one that turned his back while she ran to go make a deal with the sea devil?" Aiden inquired which made Triton feel ashamed. Even if the sea king's glare didn't show it. "We didn't inform you because she needed us and unlike everyone else in your life. We don't work for you."

King Triton gripped his triton like he was going to attack but none of them showed fear except for Goofy and Donald, And Baby Groot.

"Always defiant against the laws set above us." Triton snarled.

"That is true." Aiden remarked as he was still searching the island.

"No respect for order!" Triton exclaimed.

"That is also true." Aiden nodded while he wasn't looking.

"Triton no! Aiden may be independent but the rest of us fight for world order. But we can't until we solve Ariel's dilemma." Sora tried to explain.

"Dilemma?! Ariel was fine! She was safe from harm in the ocean until you came along and filled her head with dreams! Even in banishment you still don't know your place in-" Triton tried to rant.

But Aiden turned and cut the sea king off as he had enough.

"No! It's that doesn't get it,King Triceps! We've been working our asses off trying to deal with an organization of Nobodies that tour my ***king world apart! And the only way to deal with them is to go from world to world, unlocking a gate way that only opens if we set the world's residents in the right path! And yet somehow we ended up here with your girl!" Aiden bellowed and pointed a finger up at the King. "So call it a hunch or a wrong guess! All I know is this situation is right in front of us. And if helping your girl to hook up with a boy crush is the only way to get us back on track! And you're gonna have to kill us if you want us to stop. Because we won't! Not with the safety of all of the world's at stake!"

"If all you want is for Ariel to sulk and be miserable underwater for the rest of her life. Be our guest. But we expect more from you. The same Triton who's life was saved by Sora last year." Victoria spoke up as she stood next to Aiden.

"Not to mention the last Maverick before Aiden who fought side by side with your father and saved Atlantica years ago?" Sora reminded Triton and used air quotes. "Who of course was a savage human."

"I don't know why you hate us and our kind so badly. But if you've seen enough of the world you live in. And the multiverse itself. You would realize that the land and sea lives under the same sky. And they both came from the same light." Kairi spoke calmly as she held no anger or resentment in her heart towards King Triton.

"In reality. If the guy Ariel loves had a fish tail. We wouldn't be having this problem And you wouldn't be making this such a big deal." Victoria pointed out.

She was right. Eric wouldn't be so different if he was born as a mermaid instead of a human.

Triton wanted to still be angry, but as each word is spoken, it became more difficult to hold on to the anger he had. In the end his shoulder slumped and he let out a sigh of defeat.

"You are right. All of you." Triton admitted, his eyes downcast.

Sora, Donald and Goofy were surprised that he backed down finally.

"I am Groot..." Baby Groot's eyes widened.

"It's just. Humans are responsible for so much death and destruction to my kind. Including the death of my beloved Queen Athena." Triton stated his part as he held a necklace in his hand. Belonging to Ariel's mother. "They harpooned her. Stuffed her and mounted her on their ship."

King Triton was referring to the time a group of pirates and poachers were attacking his family when they were relaxing together above the service. Everyone managed to get out of there alive except for Queen Athena. King Triton retaliated in grief and anger. As he used his mighty triton to track down and strike those greedy ruthless pirates at sea. And found his beloved Queen. Stuffed and mounted on their ship as a figure head.

A sight that forever affected how King Triton saw humanity.

"How could we ever recover from such a crime against the ocean? Against me?" King Triton asked with grief in his voice.

Hearing this made some of them back down from their anger as well. Hearing about Triton's wife being harpooned and made into a trophy by a group of pirates was something hard to stomach. No wonder he hates humans.

Aiden finally spoke calmly.

"I'm sorry for your loss. But I've lost a lot to people who are worse than humans. It's what we call inhuman." Aiden stated.

"I see." Triton nodded as he was still looking down.

"Unlike Nobodies and Heartless. The people that have wronged us are part of a species, and we can't brand all of them as monsters. People who have hearts and can choose light over darkness." Sora stated his words of wisdom.

"And that's what we fight for. We chose to fight for the light and steer everyone on the right path. Whether it impacts our precious rules or not." Aiden spoke with him.

"We fight to make sure that light wins over darkness." Kairi stated.

"And if we continue in blind hatred. And include people who had nothing to do with the crimes that have affected us. We're no better than the monsters." Victoria said in her own words of wisdom.

"All we're saying Triton, is that Eric had nothing to do with what happened to your wife. And if he was there. He would've given his life to save her. We all would have." Sora stated. "That's what Ariel saw in him. Not just a new perspective. But a strong light. A light that she needed. And something tells me you need it as well. Probably more than she does."

Triton looked up at them and took a deep breath as his anger finally left him.

"So why don't you unlock those ocean doors to the big blue itself. So we can all correct this?" Aiden offered suggesting that Triton finally ends they're banishment and open back up the ocean

Triton thought for a moment before a small smile graced his face.

"Very well. Perhaps it's time for a new outlook." Triton said, causing the guardians to smile.

Triton raised the points of his trident to the air, and the Trident began to glow, ready to undo his banishment spell.

When suddenly

*BOOM!*

A loud clap of thunder sounded, making everyone pause, even Triton.

'IRIS what was that?' Sora asked looking alarmed.

'Princess Ariel's time is up. Stormur must've used this attack as a diversion.' IRIS answered as the fog around the island faded. Showing the sun finally setting on the third day.

"No..." Kairi whispered in horror seeing that the sun has finally set.

"ARIEL!" King Triton gasped and dived into the water to swim after his daughter.

"Wait Triton!" Sora tried to stop him but he ended up landing on the barrier. "Dang it! He hasn't dropped the barrier yet!"

Then it soon dawned on Aiden. As his eyes widened.

"Guys? It's not Ariel that Ursula wants." Aiden realized.

"What do you mean?" Donald asked.

Then Kairi finally realized where Aiden was going with this.

"She wants her father's triton." Kairi figured it out.

Making them all gasp. It made complete sense. Being a father he would have to trade his soul in for Ariel's freedom Which would include his Triton.

They were playing right into Ursula's hands!

And if you're wondering how this next chapter will end and you're anxious over the cliffhanger I left. Don't be. because one: If you've seen the movie and played Kingdom Hearts II the video game. Then you know how this will end. And two: I will have the next chapter out soon.

For now Thank you all for reading. Be sure to leave your thoughts and opinions in the comments to let me know your thoughts on this chapter.
