Kingdom Gundam: Chapter Sixteen

Now that you've got the hang of it, Ariel said. Let's go to the palace! Just follow the yellow tridents on the walls.

Wufei said.

~At the palace~

Wufei and the others were being chased by the heartless. A thunderbolt rippled past, destroying them.

I will not allow those creatures in the palace! King Triton said, sitting on his throne.

Ariel said.

he said, in his strict tone. What did I tell you about leaving the place?

But Daddy-

No buts. I don't want you leaving the premisses, do you... Oh, and who are they?

These are some guys I met. They came from a different world, Ariel said.

We didn't say anything about a different world! Wufei said.

Well, duh, anyone can see your from somewhere else, Ariel said. Anyway, they're coming to lock the keyhole, saving our world from destruction.

How do you know all this? Trowa asked.

Sebastian said. The voice told us.

You're not going to lock any keyhole, King Triton said. And you're not going to communicate with creatures from other worlds! You three leave this world and Ariel, don't leave the castle grounds.

He always treats me like a little girl, Ariel said, crossly. Come on. Let's go to my grotto, then we'll discuss the plan. Ariel swam away.

Plan? We have a plan? Cloud asked.

I like this onna, Wufei said, following after Ariel.

Cloud said. What's an onna? Trowa rolled his eyes, and swam away. No, I'm serious! What's an onna?!

~At Ariel's Grotto~

Here, have a seat, Ariel said, sitting on one of the chairs. Trowa sat on the lazy-boy recliner, and Wufei and Cloud took a seat on the love sofa. Now, here's the plan: We go to the sunken ship, somehow find the crystal trident, come back, then go tackle Ursula after challenging her to a game of football.

Football? In the water? Wufei asked.

Yes. Ursula can't resist a good game of football. Wufei and Trowa exchanged glances. After losing, she'll get a very bad temper. Then, we'll beat her at a game of chest and she'll be defeated.

Trowa asked.

She thinks she's so intelligent, Ariel said, rolling her eyes. So, we'll challenge her to a game of chest. That's why we have Wufei, here.

Wufei asked.

You look super intelligent and a pro at chest, Ariel said. So, what about it?

Wufei said, without second thought.

Now, Ursula is a cheater, so the only way to beat a cheater is to cheat, Ariel said.

It seems you have this all planned out, Trowa said.

Well, I have nothing better to do with my time, than collect junk and make up plans for defeating Ursula.

What if these plans fail? Wufei asked.

Then we'll do it the old fashioned way. Kick her tentacles! Now, any questions?

Yeah, what's an onna? Cloud asked.

Onna? You don't know what an onna is? Ariel asked. Flounder, he doesn't know what an onna is! Everyone roared into laughter.

Well, then, what is an onna? Cloud asked, crossing his arms, his face red.

Stop being an onna, Cloud, Wufei said.

Hey! What is that supposed to mean, baka? Ariel snapped.

You want to start something with me?

You bet I do!

Omae o kor-

Cloud yelled. Stop talking like that! Everyone was quiet.

Well, let's get going! Ariel said, swimming out of the grotto.

~After finding the Crystal Trident and returning~

This is a bad sign, Ariel said.

What do you mean? Trowa asked.

My lazy-boy furniture is gone. I ordered those, too.

How'd you get the money for it? Wufei asked.

I work at Wal-Mart, she said.

I work at Target, Cloud said, quietly.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! A traitor! Ariel yelled.

Where do we put the crystal thing? Wufei asked, getting off the subject.

Ariel said, pointing. I can't believe it, Ariel grumbled. I'm working with a Target lackey. Daddy better not learn about this, or he'll fry you. Wufei swam up to the place and put it in.

I thought so, said a voice behind them.

Ariel said, surprised.

A couple of Target people and that thing! You shall suffer the wrath of the King of the Seas!

Uh, daddy? Ariel said.



The blonde merman is the only one who works for Target, she said, pointing at Cloud.

King Triton said. Well, you shall suffer my wrath! King Triton destroyed the crystal trident, then looked at Cloud. Now, you die! Cloud took out his sword.

Let's go, before this gets any worse, Wufei said. Trowa nodded. They left, with Ariel. Now what?

We go fight Ursula, she said.

But we need another person!

No we don't, Ariel assured. Cloud came out of the grotto, unharmed.

You're alive? Wufei asked. Cloud nodded.

Yeah, Ursula came and took old Triton's trident. I decided against hurting him. Once we get the trident back, I can redeem myself, so let's get that sea witch!

Ariel said.

~At Ursula's Lair~

If we have to fight that stupid shark one more time, Cloud muttered.

We're here! Ariel said, happily.

How can you be so happy?! Wufei asked. Ursula appeared.

You're fools trying to fight me! Ursula proclaimed.

That's why we're not, Ariel said, holding up a football. Wanna play?

Why would I want to play such a meaningless sport?! Ursula roared.

Maybe it was basketball she liked, Ariel said. Probably. I keep mixing those two up. Stupid human games.

You will pay for your mindless way to destroy me! Ursula said, starting to throw potions in the big pot thing in the middle of the room.

Okay, new plan, Trowa said. That looks like the source of her power. I say, we use magic on it.

Okay, Fire, Wufei said.

No, fire doesn't work in the water.



Might hurt someone.



Cloud, Trowa and Wufei aimed at the pot. Suddenly, it went up, and things started shooting out of it. When it calmed down, Ursula was unconscious.

Let's get her! Cloud yelled. The trio ran towards her, and started to hit her, like someone does a piñata. Soon, the sea witch was defeated, and retreated.

said a voice. They turned. There was Elenwen, a mermaid, with Duo the turtle. Time to go back to the coliseum.

Cloud said, with a nod.

Duo's learned his lesson, Elenwen said. I don't think any damage has been done, but then again, you never know! Come on, Cloud.

Cloud said, swimming after her. Uh, bye Pikachu, Cloud said, passing Duo. Wufei and Trowa swam up to him.

Are you okay? Wufei asked.

Duo asked, angrily. Okay?! Nineteen hours of romance movies later and you ask if I'm okay?! I've practically memorized the whole the three hours of The Sound of Music, and you ask if I'm okay?!

It'll be okay, Duo, Trowa said. We won't listen to any romance songs or anything for the next two weeks, okay?

You promise? Trowa nodded.

Do, a deer, a female deer, Wufei started to sing.

I'm going to kill you! Duo yelled.

Ra, a drop of golden sun! Ariel joined.

Not you too!

Me a name I call myself. Fa, a longer way to run! So, a needle pulling thread, La a note to follow so! Te, a drink with spot of bread! That will bring us back to-

Duo screamed. I can't take it anymore!! Ariel and Wufei grinned.

~At the other place where you defeat Ursula~

So, I come back and there's already a boss battle, Duo said. Great. Just great. I think she wanted me back into the story, because all of you are so boring!

If I'm so boring, Wufei said. Then why did she choose me over you? Huh? I bet you can't answer that! Duo stuck his tongue out at Wufei. I think she preferred Cloud over you, because he has a sword and you have a wimpy shield.

I demand an impeachment!

Trowa said. We have to beat Ursula. Suddenly, she came, over a hundred times their size.

Ariel said. Uh, I think I hear Daddy calling me! Good luck guys! She swam away, just in time.

How do you like that? The fish jumped the hook, Duo said. Never trust a merperson.

Wufei said.

You insolent fools! I rule the seas now! Ursula proclaimed.

Okay, here's what we do, Trowa said, to Duo, assuming Wufei was listening. We have to see what her attacks are... Ursula, suddenly, flung bubbles at them. Wufei moved, quickly. Trowa and Duo were caught in them.

Duo yelled, inside his. Wufei swam up to them and started to hit it with the keyblade. Nothing worked.

Wufei, it's up to you, then, Trowa said.

Wufei said, suddenly. He turned around and swam closer to Ursula.

Oh, getting gutsy, huh? Ursula taunted. What can a puny merman like you can do? You're not even a merman!

I might not be as strong as you, Wufei said. But I have over half the brains you do!

What?! No one is more intelligent than I!

Then prove it, in a chest game, Wufei said, boldly. If I win, you're destroyed by us. And if you win-

I'll make you an ultimate heartless, Ursula said. Wufei thought about it, for a moment.

Wufei! No! Trowa yelled. It's not worth it!

Wufei agreed. If I win, you're history and if I lose, then I'm a heartless.

Don't worry, Trowa, Duo said, assuredly. Remember, he helped me win against you on the Peacemillion. He won't have any problem against a sea witch.

I don't know, Duo, Trowa said. Ursula shrunk, to normal size. A chest table appeared before them. Wufei had the white chest pieces, Ursula had the black.

You can go first, Ursula said, smiling. Wufei, cautiously, picked up a piece and put it down. Ursula went next. Wufei went again, then Ursula took on of his pawns. Suddenly, Wufei's fin began to burn. He looked down, it was black, like a shadow. There's one other thing, Ursula said, with a chuckle. Each piece I take, the closer you get to becoming a heartless. There's no way you can win.

Oh no, Woofie! Duo said. Wufei's mind was racing; he wasn't thinking clearly. Every move he seemed to make after that, Ursula would pick up the pawn, replacing it with hers. Wufei was half black, when Ursula crackled.

You're so pathetic. Maybe I should put you out of your misery right now.

Woofie, you need to concentrate! Duo yelled, banging against the bubble. You're making all stupid moves! Offense is the best defense, remember?

Offense is the best defense, Wufei repeated.

You told me that on the Peacemillion! Come on, Wufei! Wufei, suddenly, took his pawn and took one of Ursula's pawns.

Ursula asked.

Yeah! That's how you play! Duo said, happily. It was Ursula's turn to panic. Wufei had gained control, again. Wufei was now replacing his pawns with hers.

This is impossible! Ursula declared. Suddenly, she shrieked. Wufei smiled.

Check mate, he said.

Ursula screamed. The bubbles around Duo and Trowa disappeared. I'm melting! I'm melting! She screamed, disappearing into the smoke.

Go, Wu-man! Duo cheered, happily. You da man!

We need to take this trident back to the king, Trowa said, taking it.

~At the palace~

I was worried about you guys, Ariel said. I'm glad to see you're okay!

Not worried enough, Duo muttered.

Anyway, I want to thank you for saving Atlantica, King Triton said. And tell the Target worker that he's welcome anytime.

We will, Wufei said.

Target worker? Who's that? Duo asked.

Don't worry about it, Trowa said.

But Daddy, we haven't sealed the keyhole, Ariel said. Can we take your trident and seal the keyhole?

Uh, of course.

~Ariel's Grotto, again~

Let's get this over with, Wufei said. Ariel pointed the trident at where the crystal trident should be. A crystal trident appeared and a keyhole appeared over top. Wufei pointed the keyblade at the hole. Atlantica, locked!

Well, it's been great looking at your behind, I mean, working with you Ariel, Duo said.

Dream on, turtle boy, Ariel said, rolling her eyes and swimming away.

Ah, she digs me, Duo said, a huge grin on his face.

Let's go to the gummi ship, Trowa said.

Beam us up, Scottie! Duo said, and they disappeared.

RS: I don't have a clue who he is, except what I've heard from Eva. I think he's some kind of dragon or demon priest. Something strange.
Xellos *still happy*: It's not strange from where I come from. ^^
DS *angrily*: Tell Eva to get this freak out of here or I'm going to do something about him!!
RS *nervously*: Uh, I forgot to tell you. I'm Xellos sitting.
DS: WHAT?!
Xellos *still happy*: Review! Review! Review! You can flame them, too! ^^
