The team waited outside of the Grotto, Araxie sighed as she plays with a nearby plant. The pink tailed mermaid cherished Ariel's collection, though she herself didn't contribute due to the law. She started to stare at the crab down. It seems everyone but flounder loathed the crab.

"I didn't mean to tell, it was an accident," Sebastian uttered hoping for the group to pardon him. Amy sighed and leaned down to his level. "It's okay, I know you're telling the truth."

"How?" Araxie asked Korra, The southerner smile as she put her hand on Araxie shoulder. "She's just good at reading mer-people and sea creatures."

A good minute later to everyone's surprise

Ariel passes by with two eels.

"Where are you going? Ariel, what are you doing here with this riff-raff?"

"I'm going to see Ursula."

The Avatar's eyes widen at that, Araxie quickly rushed up to the younger mermaid. Sebastian went with the pink tailed mermaid, "Ariel, no! No, she's a demon, she's a monster!"

"Why don't you go tell my father? You're good at that." Ariel snapped then was held back by Araxie grip on her hand.

"Look Ariel I know you're upset, but think about what you're doing. Your dealing with Ursula, you've heard stories of her, right? How she will tip the scales in her favor to take your soul?"

Ariel yanked her hand from Araxie "I'm going, don't stop me."

"You don't think! Your head is hard as a clam. Ariel, what about your family, your friends! Please don't go to her! We can find another way to talk to Prince Eric!" Araxie exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, I can't." With that the redhead swam with the eels, Araxie seemed heartbroken however the group agreed to travel towards Ursula's cavern.

Meanwhile, with Flotsam, Jetsam, and Ariel as they lead her to Ursula. "This way..." Ariel enters and is hung up in the garden of souls. They shriveled in anguish, moaning for help.

Ariel swam up as one caught her fin, she swallowed hard. Maybe her best friend was right. Once she had the thought of changing her mind, Ursula started to speak.

"Come in. Come in, my child. We mustn't lurk in doorways - it's rude." She finally revealed herself to Ariel as she swam into the room.

"One MIGHT question your upbringing. Now, then. You're here because you have a thing for this human. This, er, prince fellow. Not that I blame you - he is quite a catch, isn't he?" Ursula started to do her make up in front of her mirror.

"Well, angelfish, the solution to your problem is simple." She applied her make up then popped her lips in a duck style.

"The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself..." Another Man said he looked similar to Ursula but he had dark copper skin.

Ariel gasped then she looked at both Unalaq and Ursula. "You can do that, For me?'

Unalaq hand went on the young mermaid shoulders, she was somewhat like Korra but more naive. She wanted more in life and he knew exactly how to manipulate her.

"My dear, that's what she does - it's what she lives for. To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself. Poor spirits with no one else to turn to."

Ursula

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty

They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch

But you'll find that nowadays

I've mended all my ways

Repented, seen the light and made a switch

True?

Yes

And I fortunately know a little magic

It's a talent that I always have possessed And here lately, please don't laugh

I use it on behalf

Of the miserable, lonely and depressed

Unalaq/Ursula

(Pathetic)

Ursula

Poor unfortunate souls In pain

In need

This one longing to be thinner

That one wants to get the Girl

And do I help them?

Yes, indeed

Those poor unfortunate souls

So sad

So true

They come flocking to my cauldron Crying, "Spells, Ursula please!"

And I help them?

Yes, I do

Now it's happened once or twice

Someone couldn't pay the price

And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals

Yes, I've had the odd complaint

But on the whole, I've been a saint

To those poor unfortunate souls

Ursula lead ariel to her spell vessel, Unalaq followed. "Here's the agreement, Love," Unalaq started, "Ursula will make you a potion that will turn you into a human for three days. Only three days no more or no less."

"Now listen, this is important: Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear ol' princey to fall in love with you. That is, he's got to kiss you. Not just any kiss, the kiss of true love."

"If he does kiss you before the sun sets on the third day, you'll remain human, permanently, but if he doesn't, you turn back into a mermaid, and you belong to me."

A loud gasp could be heard.

"Ariel No!" Araxie yelled as the eels covered her mouth, meanwhile, The Avatars were outside her lair, and Korra was enraged, she knew what Unalaq was doing to the poor mermaid.

"We have to stop this!" Aang murmured harshly, Wan held him back, "If we do, they'll know we're here, we have to wait."

"Have we got a deal?" Ursula smirked.

"If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters or my best friend again." Ariel turned to the pink tailed who whimpered for her to stop.

"That's Right! But you'll have your man. Life's full of tough choices, innit?" Ursula then grinned as she remembered, a small detail.

"Oh and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of the payment. You can't get something for nothing, you know."

"But I don't have any-" Ursula silenced the mermaid with one of her tendrils "I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a trifle. You'll never even miss it. What I want from you is, your voice."

"My voice?"

"Her voice?!" The Avatars gasped, Korra leaned in closer, "But why?" Korra asked, Amy instantly placed the pieces together. "It makes it difficult to get the kiss, Eric only knows Ariel by her voice."

"That makes this rigged from the very start!" Aang spoke the obvious.

"You've got it, sweetcakes. No more talking, singing, zip."

"But without my voice, how can I -"

"You'll have your charms, Your beautiful face!" Unalaq spoke up.

"And don't underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!" Ursula piped up again.

Unalaq

The men up there don't like a lot of nonsense

They think a girl who gossips is a bore

Yes, on land it's greatly preferred

For ladies not to say a word

after all, darling, what is idle prattle for?

Ursula

Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation

True gentlemen avoid it when they can

But they dote and swoon and fawn

On a lady who's withdrawn

It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man

Come on, you poor unfortunate soul

Go ahead!

Make your choice!

I'm a very busy woman

And I haven't got all day

It won't cost much,

Just your voice!

You poor unfortunate soul

It's sad

But true

If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet

You've got to pay the toll

Take a gulp and take a breath

And go ahead and sign the scroll!

Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys

The boss is on a roll

This poor unfortunate soul.

Ariel signs the contract to everyone's horror. The scroll flew to Ursula and she grabbed it having a madwoman's smile.

"Paluga, sarruga, come winds of the Caspian Sea. Now rings us glossitis and max laryngitis, La voce to me!" Two skeleton hands formed The sea witch consumed with power pointed at the young mermaid.

"Now Sing."

"NO!" Korra pushed her way through trying to breach the spell, yet it was impossible. Ariel's voice was now in Ursula's hands.

Ariel was soon trapped in a bubble, her fin transformed into two human legs. She was reborn into a human woman within a blink of an eye.

Ariel after her transformation couldn't breath, the little group helped the new human get up to land, she finally breathed her first breath as a human.

Eric blew into his flute, repeating Ariel's melody then he sighed scratching Max. "That voice. I can't get it out of my head. I've looked everywhere, Max. Where could she be?"

On the other side of the shore, the group was out of breath. Ariel rested for a moment then noticed her knees, she lifted her legs up her mouth opened, she then grinned wiggling her new toes. Araxie swam around "This is bad this is really, really bad!"

"Bad isn't the word, how about horrendous! Ariel, do you know what you have done? you are gambling with your soul!" Araxie yelled the redhead expression changed into one of hurt.

"Guys huddle now!" Aang called out, the four avatars huddled quickly.

"What do we do! Unalaq is here, what does he want?" Amy panicked, Korra looked at Amy worried as well, "His clearly following every warp we make, he has an agenda with Ariel. I can feel it."

"I feel it too, we need to watch Ariel and figure out what Unalaq and Ursula are planning." Aang added "Two of us on Land, Two of us in Sea," Wan ordered.

"We'll go on land." Aang and Korra respond quickly, Wan and Amy nodded,"We'll stay in the sea."

"Guys we have a confession. We have a special power." Korra announced, the water avatar swam to shore and her tail turned into two human legs. Her normal clothes restored "I can't l... My nerves are shot." Sebastian nearly fainted.

"So you are human?"

"No...Yes...Maybe" Korra rubbed her back, "So that's why you were oblivious! I knew it" Ariel expression showed she was stunned.

"Yeah." Aang got up brushing his clothes "It feels weird to have legs again." Korra shuttered. "We'll watch Ariel and make sure the girl doesn't hurt herself on land."

"Finally help."

Scuttle interrupted the conversation, "Now to give the kid a new look."

"Oh yeah, no seashell bra in the human world." Amy smiled, Wan rolled his eyes smirking she was being honest.

"Now, Ariel, I'm tellin' ya, if you wanna be a human the first thing you gotta do is dress like one. Now lemme see."

The Avatars couldn't help but wince when they saw the new humans clothing, Max started barking at the three.

Wan and Amy threw a thumbs up then dipped back into the sea.

"My Goodness are you alright." Korra hugged Ariel as Eric ran towards them.

" Oh . . . Oh, I see. Are you O.K., miss? I'm sorry if this knucklehead scared you you all, he's harmless, really."

"No problem, we just found her too." Aang started.

"You seem very familiar, have we met?"

Ariel nodded smiling, Eric held her hand "We have met? I knew it! You're the one - the one I've been looking for! What's your name?"

Korra smiled this was too easy until Ariel tried to speak, Aang groaned inside his head. "So easy yet so difficult!"

"You can't speak?" Ariel nodded sadly, Eric sighed "Oh. Then you couldn't be who I thought."

Korra and Aang facepalmed hard, they wanted to say something but they can't force true love. Aang made a soft gust of wind that made Ariel fall onto Eric and he caught her with ease.

"Nice move aang." Korra winked. Eric held onto the girl, "Whoa, careful - careful - easy. Gee, you must have really been through something. Don't worry, I'll help you. Come on, come on, you'll be okay. Hey, if you two wanna help you can."

Aang and Korra bowed in respect, "It would be our pleasure."
