Episode 26: Karen's Debut
POV=Caren
Oh hello, so this is my episode. I plan to reveal myself to Hanon. In case you haven't noticed, I figured out she's the mermaid princess of the South Atlantic Ocean. Oh yeah. I shall be revealing my true identity at the end of the episode. Kore wa Karen no Debyuu! I love it when someone says the name of the episode in the episode itself. But it's weird if I talk in third person in English.
POV=Eriru
"Our encounters with the Pearl Princesses keep ending in disaster." said Maria, "At this rate, I almost feel like abandoning Gaito-sama." "Maria! Get that depressing look of your face!" I said, "I don't want to see you giving in to them!" "Eriru!" said Maria. "Why do we keep losing to those Pearl Princesses?" I said, "Have you ever took a second to think of that?" "It's because..." I said(transforms into battle forme), "Their allies always arrive afterwards and save them from us!" "That is true." said Maria. "There are two of them, and two of us." I said, "If we just organize both our powers, the Pearls won't even be a challenge for us!" "You have a point there." said Maria. "My cute tropical fish are scouting out the seas perfectly." I said, "Once they find a Mermaid Princess, we can all come together and get both them and their pearl once and for all!" I turned back lighthearted. "I'm just so smart!(^-^)" I said.
POV=Hippo
Me, Hanon and Core!Frisk were at an island resort. We came because Yuuri's doing a skating competition on the island. Let's just say a bit of luck was involved. "As expected of a canal resort! So many girls in swimsuits!" I said. "Oh my mine, Grassy! You're so perverted!" said Hanon, "If you keep going on like that, I'll tell Campfire!" "Hanon-san, anything but that!" I said. She giggled. Just then, we heard someone say, "Yo, Hippo-chan!" We turned around. It was Kyou! "It's been a while!" she said, "Has it been three months already since that surfing competition?" She winked. Oh god! If you dont remember, she was the one who ate the bento I made for Yuuri! "Huh? Oh yeah, she's the one who ate Hippo's bento all on her own." said Hanon, "Was it Kyou-san?" Kyou pushed Hanon off. "Hippo-chan, you're the same as even attractive and cute!" said Kyou, "Could it be that you came all the way here to cheer for me?" "No, no! That's not why!" "That's it!" said Kyou, "If I win, in exchange for your bento before, I'll treat you to a meal." "Eh? Really?" "In exchange you'll have to give me a kiss to celebrate my victory." she said. She winked. "Eh! Th-That would be troublesome!" I said, panickedly. "You don't have to restrain yourself. It's fine." said Kyou. "I'm not restraining myself!" I said. "See you later, Hippo-chan." said Kyou, "I'll be looking forward to it!" She left. "Um, hold on, Kyou-san!" I said. "Oh my lawn. She really decided that all by himself without my consent." I said. "Hey, Hippo, do you plan on going through with that promise?" said Hanon. "O-Of course not!" I said.
POV=Yuuri
I was walking on a staircase when I saw Kyou. "Hey, Tokyo Champion!" she said. "Hey, long time no see." I said. "I'm definitely not going to lose in this competition." said Kyou, "Why you ask? Because if I win, I'll also win Hippo-chan's kiss!" I looked at her. "The winner's prize will be Hippo-chan's lips." said Kyou, "They're as good as mine!" She left. "What's he talking about?" I said, "Hippo-san isn't even here in the first-" He is here. "Hippo-san?!" I said, "Why are you here?! Does that mean the celebratory kiss was..." "Could it be that you came here all the way for that?" I added. "Not at all! Not at all! I didn't agree to that promise at all!" said Hippo, "It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! " He ran up to me. "I came here so I could cheer you on!" he said, "Don't take what Kyou-san said the wrong way. She decided that all on her own!" Just then, some kid hit a briefcase, sending it down the stairs. "Hippo, watch out!" The briefcase hit my ankle. "Yuuri-san, are you alright?!" said Hippo. "I'm fine." Yuuri said, "Something that small doesn't hurt one bit." "I'm very sorry." said that kid's mother, "Are you hurt?" "Onee-chan, I'm sorry." said the kid. "I'm fine. Please don't worry about it." I said. I turned to Hippo "Well, see you, Hippo-san. I have to leave now, but it's just about time for practice." I said, "I'll see you later" I left.
POV=Hippo
I was watching Yuuri skate. "Yuuri-san! Give it your all at tomorrows competition!" I said. "Hippo, thank goodness Yuuri-san's ankle injure wasn't anything serious, huh?" said Hanon. "Yeah" "But if Sakiya-kun wins, the fact you'll have to kiss Sakiya-kun won't change" said Hanon. "Ah! That's right!" I said, "I'll go find Sakiya-kun and clearly let him know I refuse that promise!" "But Hippo, if you get mixed up with her,it may not be a light matter anymore." said Core!Frisk, "She's a snake." "Yeah, she'll probably force you to agree to some other weird promise, Hippo." said Hanon. "Eh? N-No way." "Eh, I'm gonna break these paragraphs with Izuru" said Core!Frisk.
POV=Izuru
I met two girls. The older one had red hair and blue eyes. The other one had blue hair and red eyes. "So who are you?" I said. The girls answered. "We are the Black Beauty sisters" said the red haired one, "I'm the older sister, Sheshe" "I'm also a Black Beauty sister" said the blue hair one, "I'm the younger sister, Mimi" "Well then, Sheshe, Mimi." I said, "How about I be your master" "Sorry. We're self taught." said Sheshe. "Let me put it this way" I said, "I once worked for the Panthalassan Prince Gaito" "Wait. Gaito?!" said Sheshe, "Oh my god! He's so cool!" "Hontoda yo ne!" said Mimi. "It's a deal" said Sheshe, "You can teach us to be more powerful than ever before!" "What is your name?" said Mimi. "I am Izuru" I said, "But call me Zuzu"
POV=Hippo
We were at a restaurant. "Oh no! There are no open seats!" said Hanon, "I told you we should've come to the restaurant sooner, but you just had to keep watching Yuuri-san the whole time!" "No way!" I said, "You kept asking "One more! One more!" and had all these scoops of tropical ice cream!" Just then, we heard someone. "Hey there, my cute prince!" she said. We turned around. "Ah, it's Kyou-san!" said Hanon. "Care to join me at mt table?" said Kyou. "Th-That's quite alright! We don't want to intrude!" I said. "If you'd like, I'll give you that meal ahead of time, before my victory." said Kyou. "There she goes skirt-chasing again, right away." said Hanon, "Don't get mixed up with Sakiya-kun again." "Yeah, I know." "Aw come on now. Saying 'skirt-chasing'." said Kyou. She turned to me. "Hippo-chan would it be alright for the two of us to be alone for a while?" she said, "I have something serious to talk to you about." So me and Kyou were at the restaurant Bar. "Umm... what did you want to talk about?" I said. "Because I seem like that kind of character, I think you've been mistaken." said Kyou, "The truth is I'm really serious." "Such a fake..." I thought, "If she really were and actually won, she would've never made that congratulatory kiss remark." "Seriously..." said Kyou, "I like you, Hippo-chan." I gasped. "If I win, will you seriously think about going out with me?"
POV=Hanon
"EH?! Kyou-san confessed to you?!" I said, shocked. "Y-Yeah..." said Hippo, "But even though she said that..." "So?! How'd you reply?!" I said, "Don't tell me you actually said okay!" "Th-There's no way I would!" said Hippo, "That should be obvious. Yuuri-san's the only one for me!" We heard a song. "Eh? This song is..." I said. "Tonight, the musician, Tarou Mitsuki, will be playing a three-set piano symposium on on our outdoor stage. Please join us to listen to his wonderful music" said the announcer. Oh Aqua! I have to watch!
POV=Hippo
"Hurry! Hurry!" said Hanon, "Tarou-chan's piano symposium is going to begin without us!" I noticed Yuuri. "Hippo, what's the matter?" said Hanon. "Nothing." I said, "I'm going to go talk to Yuuri-san, so go on ahead before me." "Okay!" said Hanon. She left. I ran over to Yuuri, only to find out Kyou's making a bet with her. "Whoever wins the national surfing competition tomorrow will get Hippo's congratulatory kiss." said Kyou, "Will you also accept this challenge?" Yuuri stared at me. "Yuuri-san... you'll refuse his challenge, right?" I thought. ... "Sounds fine to me. I accept it." said Yuuri. "Eh? Why, Yuuri-san?" I thought.
POV=Core!Frisk
We were at the outside stage. I noticed a specific Purple haired girl. If I remember correctly, her name is Karen. Or is it Caren? Whatever. She has to appear. I think she would make the perfect role for Rina. All I had to do is... Wait, she is walking this way. I better tell Hanon. But how? Maybe I could write a note?
Create Item=Note{Text="Behind you"}
Looks like she got the note. She saw Karen/Caren.
POV=Hanon
Why did she come to me? "If you have any business with Tarou-chan, then leave" I said. That girl stopped. She took me to a secluded area.
POV=Caren
How could I break the ice without saying she's a mermaid? "Hey, Hanon" I said. "How did you know my name?" asked Hanon. "Doesn't matter. Jump into the water" I said, "I'll follow you" Hanon panicked. I pushed her into the ocean. I heard splashing. I decided to jump in. She was swimming away.
POV=Hippo
I just saw a dot on my pearl radar! It's one I ever seen before. It's either the mermaid of the Southern ocean or the Indian Ocean. But It could also be Eriru. I haven't seen her on the Pearl Radar so there might be a chance. I heard some boys gossiping. "Hey, did you hear?" one said, "It seems like the Tokyo Champion, Yuuri Pandorin, has gotten injured." I listened to them. "Then she'll forfeit?" said another girl. "Eh? She was so cool and I wanted to cheer for him..." said another. No way! Yuuri-san's been hurt?! I ran to the nurse's office. I saw a nurse with Yuuri. "I don't care about the skating competition! You'll need to rest for one to three days." said the nurse, tending to Yuuri's ankle, "If you don't, the sprain will only worsen. Don't do anything reckless" "Yeah, yeah" said Yuuri. She walked out of the nurses office. I walked to her. "Yuuri-san" I said. "Hippo!" "Hey... Is it true you got hurt?" I said. "It's nothing. Don't worry about it." said Yuuri. I noticed Yuuri's sprained ankle. "The bruise she got back then... This is all my fault?!" I thought. "Hey..." I said, "Could it be that your injury on your leg... if from when you protected me?" "I'm telling you, it's nothing to worry about it." said Yuuri, "I'm fine." "But..."
POV=Eriru
My fish swam up to me. "What is it?" I said, "Oh is that so?" "Eriru, did it find one of the Pearl Princesses?" said Maria. "From the information from this guy, apparently, it's the Mizuiro Pearl Mermaid Princess" I said. "Which mean the others she's always with might also be nearby!" said Maria. "Anyways, if we organize our powers correctly, this should go flawlessly!" I said, "So for now, I'll be counting on you"
POV=Hippo
I was watching the skating competition. Hanon didn't show up yesterday. Core!Frisk said it had to do with the purple haired girl. Also, Yuuri decided to participate even with the sprained ankle. "I wonder if Yuuri-san's leg is alright..." said Core!Frisk. "Yuuri-san, I know praying can't do much, but..." I prayed, "I really believe in you, Yuuri-san" I looked at her. She stared back. She winked. "Yuuri-san!" I thought. Her ankle hurted, but she kept on going! She won first place! "Yuuri-san!" I said. "The champion of this years national skating competition is Yuuri Pandorin! The winner has been decided" said the announcer. Kyou walked up to Yuuri. "I've lost to you again." she said, "It's frustrating, but I grant you Hippo-chan's congratulatory kiss." "Yeah" said Yuuri. Yuuri-san's so amazing. I'm so happy... Because... Because... Because... It was my fault that she got hurt, and the nurse told her not to participate, and yet she continued with the challenge against Kyou-san! And she won it! Yuuri-san... I believe in you.
POV=Hanon
I was swimming through the water when Maria and Eriru attacked! "Oh dear. The Pink Pearl prince isn't with you?" said Maria. "What's this, a nice greeting for me from both of you?" said Hanon. "You better not underestimate us!" said Eriru. She sent out a dark beam. I dodged. "Here I go too!" said Maria. She sent out some Ice darts. I dodged again. The two of them attacked me over and over! "What's the matter? Are your attacks over?" I taunted. "Don't make us laugh." said Eriru, "We're confident we'll catch you two this time!" "Yeah, capturing two of you one at a time is much more efficient, no?" said Maria. They're different from how they normally are...This is bad... if they attack me like this in the combination they're in... Just then, I saw Hippo. "Hippo!" she said. "Jeez, you guys just always appear everywhere, huh." said Hippo, "Yeah, you just had to appear when we were on vacation!" "That goes back to you!" said Eriru, "You just had to come when all unconcernedly while we were busy!" She transformed into battle forme. "We'll show you just how different we are today from any other day!" she said. "Pink Pearl Voice!" "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!" Hippo grabbed the song. "Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!" "Ice Breath!" said Maria as she shot a beam of ice on the Live Stage. "This is the end of you!" said Eriru. She shoots a tornado. The live stage broke! "No way!" said me. "The Live Stage has been broken!" said Hippo. "If you can't sing, it makes it all the more easy!" said Eriru, "Our combination is far from over!" "You see, Eriru taught me how to build up a tolerance to her song." said Maria, "We'll take your pearls now!" "All the pain we've suffered, we'll give it back to you!" said Eriru. "Green Pearl Voice!" "Dark Pichi Pichi Live Spin!" Maria started shooting Ice beams.

I saw Hanon and Hippo get beaten by Mari and that other girl. She's a dark pearl! I have know how she got a pearl but for now, Hanon and Hippo needs saving. "Purple Pearl Voice!" Since this is my introduction, I might as well show I'm a good princess by singing Legend of Mermaid.

"This is too frustrating!" said Mari, "We had things going our way, but this always happens!" "I didn't hear that that one would come up!" said the dark pearl, "After today, we won't even be able to show our faces before Gaito-sama again!" They both disappeared. Hanon and Hippo looked at me. This encounter is to be continued. Now
Episode 27: The Soul that's determined
POV=Caren
I looked at the other pearls. "The Purple Pearl... Mermaid Princess." said Hippo. "Thanks for saving us!" he said, "What's your name?" "I'm Caren, the Mermaid Princess of the Southern Ocean!" I said. "So you're the Purple Pearl Mermaid Princess!" said Hanon. "Alright, Hanon-san!" said Hippo, "Now we gathered four of the Pearls, we're one step closer to summoning Aqua Regina and saving the ocean" "Yeah, about that..." I said, "Why is the green pearl with that demon?" Hippo sighed. "We're sorry" he said, "Vengeance got the better of us" "Wait, you gave her the pearl?" I said. "We didn't give her the pearl." said Hanon, "We sort of turned the original green pearl into bubbles-" "Why did you do that?" I shouted. "She called Yu... my lover a demon!" said Hippo. "You're an aqua guardian! You know better than fall in love with a human girl!" I added, "Same goes for you, Hanon!" Hanon froze. She left. Hippo seemed known of something. "You know, you have a sister" said Hippo. "A sister?" I questioned. "Noel, the mermaid princess of the Arctic Ocean." said Hippo. "Don't tell me she isn't captured by..." "I'd hate to tell you, but she is" I gasped. I had to save my sister. Watashi wa Kesshin shita tamashī
POV=Hippo
I was using the Mermaid Uranai. "Isn't Hanon-san a bit late?" I said, "I wonder if she's alright..." "She's not a kid, so don't worry about her." said Core!Frisk, "She'll definitely come back" "I know but Hanon-san seems a bit down lately" I said. I turned the Mermaid Uranai card over. "Oh no! It's the Panthalassa card again..." I said, "This is the worst." "The Panthalassa card is a card that invites trouble, and it's meaning is destruction!" said Core!Frisk. "I'm really going to see if I can find Hanon-san!" I said. I ran off.
POV=Hanon
I watched Tarou-chan play the piano. I applauded. "Hanon-san... so it was you?" said Mitsuki. "Mitsuki-sensei." I said. I walked over to him. "Is something the matter, sensei?" I said. "No..." said Mitsuki, "Outside of this hotel on the terrace, I thought I just saw... a mermaid." I gasped. "A beautiful purple mermaid." said Mitsuki. "Eh? A purple mermaid?" I said. Could Caren be the mermaid from Tarou-chan's memories? "There I go with that story again..." said Mitsuki, "It's so foolish I don't expect you to believe me." "No, your song has a mysterious feel to it, making is seem as if the mermaid really was there." I said. "Hanon-san." "I believe you, Mitsuki-sensei." I said. Tarou-chan stopped. "I'm sorry, Hanon-san. Could you leave me alone for a bit?" said Mitsuki, "A lot of things are going through my head right now so I'd like to be alone and think things through myself right now" ...
POV=Hippo
I was going to take a bath when I heard Yuuri. "Hey, Hippo-san!" she said. I turned around. "You heading to take a bath?" said Yuuri. "Yuuri-san!" I said, "You're going to wash up too?" "Yeah." said Yuuri, "In that case, why don't we take a bath together." Wait... "Eh?!" I shouted, "T-TOGETHER?!" "N-No way! To bathe together with thought..." I thought, "I-It's too early! I haven't even prepared myself yet! A-And if we did, Yuuri-san would find out that I'm a guardian!" But we did, well almost. "So this is what she meant by taking a bath together, with the girls and guys section split like this." I said, "I should've realized. It made sense" "Hippo!" said Yuuri. "W-What is it, Yuuri-san?" I said. "Isn't having a wide bath like this all to ourselves the best?" said Yuuri. "Y-yeah." "Hey Yuuri-san, could I ask you something?" I said. Yuuri looked at me over the wall. "Umm, you see, I have a really really precious friend of mine who's hurting right now and wants to be alone because something's bothering her." I said, "I want to help, but she won't tell me anything. What would you do?" "I wonder." Yuuri said, "I guess I wouldn't push myself to ask her what the problem was." "Why not?" I said, "If you're friends, shouldn't you be able to tell each other anything?" "Friendships aren't just about words." said Yuuri. "You're right..." "Even if she wanted to tell you, she may not be able to say it well." said Yuuri, "And so I think if you let her be and watched over her, that would be for the best." "Yeah..." "So maybe if you just show her your smile, she might feel relieved." said Yuuri. "Yuuri-san..." I said. "I'm getting pretty pruny. I'm heading out." "Okay!"
POV=Hanon
Me and Hippo were talking. "Hey, Hanon-san, were you able to talk to Mitsuki-sensei?" said Hippo. I shook my heads. "I had a lot I wanted to ask, but Tarou-chan looked like he was in a lot of pain." I said, "I'm sure Tarou-chan don't want me talking to him, because he's thinking of things really painful." I sighed. "Hanon-san are you alright" said Hippo. "Yeah, I'm fine" I lied. "Hanon-san you're lying" said Hippo. He noticed something on his pearl radar. "Ah! T-This is..." he said. "What's the matter, Hippo?" I said, "Yelling in a loud voice like that." "Look at this!" said Hippo, "It's reacting to the Purple Pearl!" "Then Caren's close by?" I said. We ran to her. She was being trapped!
POV=Hippo
We were swimming to where Karen is. "Ah, over there!" I said. We swam to her. "Don't come! Go back!" warned Karen. Just then, two girls appeared. "Who are you?" I said. "We are the Black Beauty sisters" said the red haired one, "I'm the older sister, Sheshe" "I'm also a Black Beauty sister" said the blue hair one, "I'm the younger sister, Mimi" "Would you like a dark temptation tonight?" said those two, "Dead Sea Flash!" The countless sea animals shone, blinding us. The Black Beauty sisters laughed. "What?" I said. "Are they just making fun of us?" said Hanon. "You've underestimated us!" I said. "Now then, Pearls, shall we go?" said Sheshe. "Join our paradise beneath the sea's surface." said Mimi. "Who would join someone like you!" said me. "We completely refuse!" said Hanon. "How wonderful." said Sheshe, "They're pretty enthusiastic for it, Sister Mimi." "Hontoda yo ne!" said Mimi, "I hope we don't disappoint them, Sister Sheshe!." They formed light bubbles. "No! Get away!" said Karen, "If those bubbles touch you, you'll get caught like I am now!" I grabbed the Hanon and dodged. "Pink Pearl Voice!" "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!" I grabbed the song. "Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!"

They aren't affected! "Our song won't work on them?!" I said. "They're laughing at us with those, like, composed faces of theirs!" said Hanon. Mimi yawned. "What are they..." I said. "I'm sorry, but your voices won't reach them." said Caren, "Give up and get away!" "I'm not running!" said Hippo, "On that day, I vowed that I won't do something that's risking a pearl again!" "It's useless. Your powers aren't enough!" said Karen. "Is your little stage over yet?" said Sheshe. "If it is then now it's our turn as your rivals!" said Mimi. A dark light shone around them. Somehow, the dark light seemed darker than it's supposed to. "Before, Master Zuzu told us how to increase in power" said Sheshe. "You won't get away!" said Mimi. "It's showtime!"

Oh no! They fainted from the song. Looks like Eriru's song isn't the only song that can knock out the mermaids. "Fuhuhu... As expected, the Mermaid's powers are nothing compared to ours." said Sheshe. "Now we'll be able to take their two pearls as well!" said Mimi. What am I going to do? My pearl... "I was going to this power I've kept sealed away in my pearl to save Noel but..." I thought. I opened the locket and a light shone of it. "W-What's this light?!" said Sheshe. "I can't do anything in it!" said Mimi. A light got sent to Hippo. My pearl! "Get away!" I said, "They can't move while they're bathed in the light of my pearl! Now's your chance!" They swam away as I fainted...
POV=Core!Frisk
So that's it for this episode. The next episode will be appearing now.
Episode 28: Katai kizuna o shinjite
POV=Hippo
Me and Hanon were on the beach at dawn. Last night, we were searching for Caren. If she kept her pearl, I could've found her with my Pearl Radar. "In the end, we searched till morning, but we couldn't find her." I said. "I'm completely worn out." said Hanon, "Let's rest a little and then come back to look some more." "Oh, Core!Frisk knows everything!" I said, "We can use her to look for Karen!" "If we're going to rely on your imaginary friend, then I gotta say no" said Hanon. Well that didn't work as well as I hoped. She was looking for Yuuri. Just then, a voice entered her mind. "Hippo... use the Mermaid cards." it said. I looked at the Mermaid Uranai cards sparkling in the daylight. "That's it!" I said, "If we use the Mermaid cards then maybe..." Later, Hanon placed down a card. "This is Charybdis. It's a helper card." she said, "If Caren is somewhere in the sea, it will try to help us find out where." She cut the cards and fanned them. "Now Hippo, think of Caren in your heart and pick one card." said Hanon. "Yeah" I said. My pearl told me to choose the seventh card from my left. The card showed a coral reef. "Koralli..." said Hanon, "This is the Coral card!" "Coral... Coral..." I said, "Ah, that's it! If I remember correctly, there's a large coral reef deep in the see, right off the coastline" "Really, Hippo?" said Hanon. "Yes, it was written in this pamphlet." I said. I pointed to an atoll. "Look, over here!" I said. "You're right! There's a coral reef there!" said Hanon. "Which means Caren is still near here right?" I said, "Alright! Let's go to that coral reef and search for Caren!"
POV=Hanon
I saw Tarou-chan play the piano. Tarou-chan... It's possible that the person Tarou-chan is thinking of is Caren... If Caren were to return then... But if she doesn't? "I can't think that way!" I thought, "I'm definitely going to come back with Caren! Then I can have a fair fight with Caren and change his feelings to be towards me" I left.
POV=Yuuri
I was on the beach, eating lunch. Hippo walked up to me. "Yuuri-san." said Hippo. "H-Hippo-san." I said. ... "Hippo, what's the matter? You look down" I said, "Could it be, you're..." Hippo gasped. I decided to tease him a bit. "Here, have one.(^-^)" I said, giving him my sandwich, "You wanted to eat one of my sandwiches, right? You looked like you had a pretty hungry look on you're face." "You're wrong! That's not it at all!" said Hippo. "Then what is it?" I said. "You wouldn't understand!" said Hippo, "Nevermind!" He ran off. He looked back. "Goodbye, Yuuri-san." he said. He shed a tear. I looked at him. "Hippo..." I said. Later, I was surfing. I remembered Hippo saying goodbye. I skid into the water. I saw the Guardian. "You're..." I said, "I've wanted to see you." The Guardian looked at me with sadness. "What's the matter?" I said, "Your eyes look so sad today." The Guardian came up to me. "I... I might not be able to see you again..." he said. I gasped. "Why?" I said. The Guardian kissed me. I rose to the surface. I saw the Guardian was gone. I layed on the surface of the water. "I want to see you again..." I thought, "I'll believe... that I can."
POV=Izuru
Sheshe and Mimi returned to me with the Purple Pearl Mermaid Princess. "You found her" I said, "But with no pearl" "The others will appear soon" said Sheshe. "Will they?" I said. I put a projection of Gaito's castle to fool the others. I taught myself how to create illusions. "Now, we shall transform" I said. I changed myself, Sheshe and Mimi as the yellow pearl, the indigo pearl and the purple pearl respectively. I then produced an illusion of Gaito. Ah... he looks as handsome as the real deal. Wait. What am I thinking?!
POV=Hanon
Me and Hippo were swimming to the Panthalassa castle. "We've found it!" I said, "Look over there!" "That's the Panthalassa's... and Gaito's castle!" said Hippo. We entered. "Somewhere in this castle, Coco-san, Noel-san and Caren-san are being held prisoner." said Hippo. "Yeah. Until we find them, we should be very careful." I said. We entered the door at the end of the hallway. "This is..." I said. A light shone out somewhere. "Hey! What's that light?!" said Hippo. The light stopped. I found out I was in Princess forme. "A dress?" I said, "Hey, this desn't look too bad!" "This only means they've found out we've entered their castle." said Hippo. He got trapped in some vines. I left. I was searching in the Panthalassa castle when I heard music. I turned around. It was Caren, Coco and Noel, also in Princess forme! Somehow, Noel had Gaito's hand in dancing. "Caren! Noel! Coco!" I said. "Oh my, Hanon." said Coco, "Why don't you join us and dance with us as well." I walked down the stairs. Gaito took Caren's hand in dancing. "I want to thank you, Hanon." said Caren, "This place is just wonderful!" Gaito took Noel's hand in dancing. "Yes, you have misunderstood the situation, Hanon." said Noel, "Gaito-sama is a wonderful person" "Gaito! What have you done to them?!" I said, "Turn Caren, Noel and Coco back to normal!" "Gaito-sama." said Coco, who somehow took Gaito's hand in dancing again, "Hanon's a good girl. She's been fighting for us." "I'm sorry, Hanon." said Caren, who instantly was back dancing with Gaito, "I misunderstood the type of person you were." "Who would have thought that Hanon would love us so much" said Noel, dancing with Gaito. "Hey, why don't you dance with her too, Gaito-sama?" said Coco, in Gaito's hand again. I stared at the two. Or 3. Or 4. Or 2. Or 2.5. Or 3.5. Or 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419... Wait, what's this? Gaito is about to take my hand in dancing!
POV=Yuuri
Core!Frisk is taking me to Hippo's room. "It doesn't look like Hippo and the others are here. Just where did they go?" I said, "Well I guess I can't do anything if they're not here" A card sparkled. I noticed it. "Pick it up" said Core!Frisk. I picked it up. It was of a woman with blond hair and blue eyes. A voice entered my mind. "Thank you." it said.
POV=Hippo
A light shone. "Aqua Regina-sama?" The vines unwrapped. "Aqua Regina-sama!" I said. I ran to Hanon! Oh no! She was about to take Gaito's hand in dancing. Luckily, Aqua Regina helped Hanon snap out of her trance. "Hippo! Aqua Regina-sama!" said Hanon. Karen, Noel and Coco, who ere also there, were blinded by the light. "This light..." said Coco. "I can't move!" said Noel. "Help!" said Caren. "Coco! Noel! Caren! What's wrong?!" said Hanon. "Those two are not the real Caren, Noel and Coco." said Aqua Regina, "I can feel very dark energy emanating from those two" Hanon cried. "What's wrong" I said. "The reason I was being silent is because..." said Hanon, "I thought the mermaid Tarou-chan met was Caren!" "Whenever he sees Caren, he starts acting a bit strange. Like losing his focus and just staring off into the distance; he suddenly looks like he's in so much pain and sighs, while his boyish eyes stare off somewhere far, far away."said Hanon. "Hanon-san, one's true feelings can't always be expressed in word, right?" I said, "But you know, they are understandable even if you stay silent. That's what friendship is!" "Hippo..." she said. Aqua Regina's staff shone. Noel, Caren, and Coco morphed into Sheshe, Mimi and... Izuru? Oh yeah, she left the dark lovers. "Damn you, Aqua Regina!" said Sheshe. "Just a little longer, and we would've..." said Mimi. "But Aqua Regina's light will dim soon!" said Izuru, "If we bear with it a little longer." "I'll never forgive any of you!" said Hanon. "Me neither!" said me. "Pink Pearl Voice!" "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!" "Pink Pearl Guardian, Mizuiro Pearl Princesses... My current appearance is merely an illusion of my true self. "I cannot stay here like this much longer." said Aqua Regina, "I will continue praying for you to combine the powers of the seven Mermaid Princesses and see me truly reawaken. Please do not forget. I am always at your side." She started to fade. "Now I shall grant you a new song." she said. A ball of light appeared. It went into my bracelet. It changed shape. The same bracelet appeared on Hanon. "Now that Aqua Regina, the nuisance, has faded away, we'll capture you!" said Izuru. "Hontoda yo ne" said Mimi. "Like this." said Sheshe. They showed the sphere of light Caren was trapped in. We gasped. "Caren!" I said. She woke up. "You guys... what're you doing?!" she said, "Hurry up and get away from here!" "Caren! said Hanon, "There's no way we could run away and leave you here!" "What are you saying?" said Book, "With your current powers, you won't be able to defeat them." "We're fine now!" I said, "Aqua Regina granted us a new song!" Our idol bracelets shone and they transformed into a second tier of Idol forms. Call it whatever you want. Super Idol form. Idol squared form. Anyways, my idol² forme looked sort of like my Guardian forme but the drape was longer and rainbow coloured. I was also wearing a tiara similar to Aqua Regina's. Hanon's idol² forme had ruffles and a bow. Both idol² forms also had double layered boots and gloves. "W-What!" said Sheshe. "What the heck!" said Mimi. "Oh no" said Izuru. "They're..." said Caren. "Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!"
Itai hodo namida afureru shinkai no yoru o koe
GARASU no suimen te o nobaseba hikari ni todoita
Mieru mono dake ga kikoeru koe dake ga
Subete janai koto ni kidzuite
Shinjirareru mono hitotsu fueta
Ima nara tsuyoku nareru ne
Kizutsuite mata kagayaku muteki no kizuna kanjiteru
Dareka janakute kimi janakya dame
Setsunai hodo motometeru
Kiseki ga kasanareba unmei ni kawaru mitai ni
Utagai nante yaburi suteyou
Katai kizuna o shinjite
With this song, Sheshe and Mimi were affected. The castle was also warping. Looks like it was an illusion too. "Love Shower Pitch!" The attack hurt the demons. Caren was free. "How about an encore!" "We'll remember this!" said Mimi. "Don't think this is the end!" said Sheshe. "We will get our revenge!" said Izuru. They left
POV=Caren
"Are you alright, Caren-san?" said Hippo. "Yeah, I'm fine." I said. "Caren-san, this is..." said Hippo, giving me my pearl. I grabbed it. "I suppose I'll take it back." I said. "Caren, thank you for saving us before." said Hanon. "I'm not sure why I did that myself." I said, "I guess I couldn't help but see you guys." "I'm sure Noe... onee-chan would have done the same thing." I said, "I kind of feel as though I can understand some of her feelings..." I sighed. "Sorry for shouting at you the other day" I said, "Looks like you are more mature than I thought" "It's alright." said Hippo, "I forgive you" He stopped. "Caren-san, is it alright if you join us?" said Hippo. "Well, since you forgave me, then okay" I said. So yeah. Everything turned out well. I got enrolled into their school under the name "Caren Ryuhyo", and I can see a fourth wall breaking friend, Core!Frisk. Even though I'm still mad for them getting rid of the green pearl, Watashi wa katai kizuna o shinjite.
Heyo Core!Frisk here with a preview for the next three episodes. Next time on Pichi Pichi Guardian...
