Chapter 30: Atlantica Part 2

Sora, Donald, Goofy, Dory and Marlin swam quickly towards the beautiful caslte of King Triton. It was a massive place crafted out of coral, sea shells, and colorful fish that swam around giving the castle life, boasting the spoils of the sea.

"Halt! Who goes there!" cried a fierly little red crab halting the crew in front of the castle gates.

"Please Mr. Sebastian. We need to speak to the King. It is an emergency. My son is missing!" cried Marlin.

"And we are here to help him, but we believe that not only is his son missing, but perhaps a sea witch as well." said Donald.

"A huyck! And we better hurry!" cried Goofy, trying not to laugh.

"What's so funny dog man turtle thing?" asked Sebastian.

"Your rather small to be a security guard for a giant caslte." said Goofy trying not to laugh even louder. Sora patted his sea shell.

"Easy big guy. We don't want to upset people." said Sora.

"Upset?! I'm upset already! I may be small, but my claws are tough as nails!" exclaimed Sebastian.

"We are wasting time! Please!" cried Marlin, now entering in a panic.

"Easy there. I'm sorry about your son. I'll send guards to search the Kingdom. Describe him for me." said Sebastian.

"He's a small clownfish, and he has a bad fin!" cried Marlin.

"Very good. I'll alert my guards immediately. If you want to speak to the King, hurry inside. But only the clownfish may enter." said Sebastian.

"What gives soft shell?" asked Dory.

"The King is in a bad temper today. And it's best for only one guest to come in." said Sebastian as he grabbed a seashell and blew air through it. In a moment, a large great white shark accompanied by a hammerhead and a shark with a ton of teeth appeared before Sebastian.

"Bruce! I want you and your men to find a small goldfish with one bad fin! When you find him, bring him here. And remember our motto!" cried Sebastian.

"Yes Master Sebastian. Fish are friends, Not Food." said Bruce with a toothy grin and swam away with the other sharks.

"They better not eat my boy. If they do, you'll be sorry!" cried Marlin.

"Don't worry your fins. Bruce and his sharks have served me very well." said Sebastian.

Goofy smiled. "Note to self. Sharks make excellent guards."

"Don't think about it. Remember that failed army of street cats you got. They were all salivating when they saw the King." said Donald.

"Woah! That happened!" cried Sora.

"It was a mess! Cats all over the castle, hunting down the King and the Queen for a snack." said Donald.

"Why is that?" asked Sora confused.

"Right, we never did tell you. King Mickey is a mouse." said Donald.

"A mouse?!" cried Sora.

"When you meet him, you'll love him. He's really sweet and caring." said Goofy.


Marlin was inside the throne room and Dory followed behind.

"What are you dong! I was supposed to get inside alone!" cried Marlin.

"Really? Oh... I missed that part. Did I?" asked Dory.

"No worries. Let me do the talking. King Triton has a legendary temper. We make him angry, he will kick us both out." said Marlin.

"Right or right. Okay." said Dory.

"And don't say something that can offend him. The King is a touchy person." said Marlin as he approuched the trone room. There, King Triton himself was sitting on his throne and he was talking rather loudly to Ariel, his youngest daughter. She was a very beautiful mermaid with long red hair floating in the water, her tail green as seaweed and her face was innocent with a hint of adventure in her mind.

"But Daddy, it was just Scuttle." said Ariel sweetly.

"Ariel. Let me repeat myself. Scuttle is a seagull! He lives on land, and he stands on a rock! That's where humans live! You allow yourself to be seen by those barbarians, your done for! They show no mercy! They are known to cause wars, kill marine life with their nets! Their hooks! I wouldn't want my youngest daughter caught by one of those things! You know that!" cried King Triton.

"But Daddy, Scuttle is one of my friends." said Ariel.

"I know Scuttle means well and he's part of marine life. But he has no choice. He has to live on land and fly to the skies. If you insist, perhaps you and he can meet in the secret grotto. That's where you sisters go to share their company with the other mermen." said King Triton.

"I can't do that. I'd embarrass my sisters." said Ariel.

"But have you ever considered meeting a young merman about your age and perhaps fall in love? I can find you a suitable prince or one of my nobles to meet you. They are excellent young mermen who take care of their gardens. The Seal Keeper, the crafter of Sea Shells. They are nice respectable men." said King Triton.

"What's wrong with exploration and discoveries father? We can't live without knowledge!" said Ariel.

"Ariel, you can be a researcher if you wish, but only for the sea! Land is not the place for you." said King Triton shaking his head.

"Oh Daddy. How can I make you understand?" asked Ariel.

"Is someone there?" asked King Triton as he spotted little Marlin and Dory by the doorway.

"Excuse me your majesty. I hope we are not interrupting." said Marlin.

"Oh no my little friend, you just arrived in time. As a matter of fact, my Daughter was about to leave." said King Triton.

"Princess Ariel! Oh you look so lovely! I love your red hair! It's very beautiful! I'm Dory!" said the happy little blue tang.

"Hello there." said Ariel.

"Oh my gosh! Princess Ariel! Hi! I"m Dory!" cried Dory.

"Please excuse her. She gets excited." said Marlin.

"It's okay. Nice to meet you again Dory." said Ariel as she shook Dory's yellow fin.

"What brings you before me dear Clownfish?" asked King Triton.

"Your majesty... it's my son... and possibly... it's also about the sea witch...
