Princess Hilary stood at the side of the ship staring at the water churning below. The wind tugged at her brown hair and she scanned the sea with her mahogany eyes.
"Looking for mermaids are ye?" One of the ship's burly sailors commented as he pulled on a thick rope.
"Mermaids, I doubt such a creature even exists." Hilary said turning away from the sea.
"Oh there be Mermaids, missy. Who'd you think brought on this fine strong winds and following sea, T'is be King Dickinson."
"King Dickinson?" Hilary asked interested.
"Why the ruler of the merpeople Missy, he must be in a good mood to be giving us such lively sailing conditions!" The sailor laughed and let the rope go free.
"What nonsense!" Said a voice from behind Hilary. There stood a man with purple hair and level eyes. Hilary turned her attention to her faithful advisor.
"You think so Robert." She asked.
"Absolutely! Merpeople indeed!" he exclaimed, leaning in towards the princess he added, "the extra salt in the sea air gives these fellow's cabin fever from time to time."
"Well I think I'd have to agree with you." Hilary said after much consideration.
"But it ain't nonsense tis the truth!" The sailor exclaimed sober, "They live down there in the depths of the sea!" He pointed as an orange fish swam by.
Robert coughed and led the princess away.

Grandpa Granger scurried to catch up with King Dickinson. It was a hard job, the lobster was only small, sprouting gray hairs and carrying what seemed to be a walking stick, he ditched the ground and took off swimming furiously to keep up with the Merman.
King Dickinson was an old merman. He had curly white hair, which was balding, and a deep blue tail. He stared at Grandpa Granger through his small spectacles. "Do you think my boys will go well today?" he asked concerned.
"The little dudes will battle great, I've seen 'em train this morning, they're in the zone the know what their doing." Grandpa Granger said grabbing onto the end of the King's tail, to stop him falling back completely.
"And what about the heir, Young Kai?" King Dickinson asked.
"Kai, I sure the little tiger'll rip em up!" Grandpa Granger said with much fervor. "After all he is the undisputed champion." He added.
Suddenly the fanfare sounded. The merpeople and other sea creatures took their seats in the large hall. In the center were one bey-dish and eight large clamshells. The king and lobster took their seats in the closed section.
A spotlight shone on a small seahorse. It wore a red bandana and had a headset on. He cleared his throat and began the ceremony. "Merpeoples and other sea creatures! I present to you, the honorable King Dickinson and the Princes' Trainer Crustaceous Grandpa Granger! "
The crowd cheered wildly.
"We are here today, for the presentation of the Princes and their loyal bit beast counterparts! As you all know, these ancient bit beasts are the protectors of our world from the humans! This day is a celebration because all the princes have finally found their loyal counterparts! Let's show 'em what we think!"
The crowd cheered again.
'I present to you the eight sons of King Dickinson – Joseph!'
The smallest clam opened to reveal a small merman with deep green hair and a forest green tail; he smiled and waved to the crowd.
"Lee!"
The next clam revealed a tanned merman with shaggy black hair, a shark tooth necklace and a midnight black tail. He stood in a trance like state.
"Oliver!"
Out came a merman with light green hair, he was thinner than the others and had an aqua tail. He waved at the large crowd.
"Ozuma!"
A red tailed merman was released; he had spiky red and gray hair and a gold earring in one ear. He gave the thumbs up to the crowd and they cheered even louder than before
"Kane!"
A navy blue haired merman swam out of the next clam. He had a silver-gray tail and had seaweed wrapped around one of his hands. He waved with his good hand at the crowd.
"Enrique!"
The next clam revealed a cheerful young merman. He had blonde hair and an orange tail. In the crowd mermaids squealed as the young merman smiled and waved at his adoring fans.
"Johnny!"
The second last clam revealed a merman with spiky red hair. He looked particularly aggravated at the assembly. He wore a blue bandana and had a deep red tail.
"And finally the Heir to the Trident and undisputed champion beyblader Kai!"
The final clam opened to reveal nothing. There was a gasp that ran through the entire crowd.
* * *
A blue haired, blue tailed merman swam away from the underwater city; he wore red arm guards and had blue triangular tattoos on his face. A small yellow and green fish trailed him.
"Kai, what about the celebration?" the small fish asked
"What about it?" the merman Kai said swimming though a cluster of seaweed.
"Aren't you going..?"
"And have Dranzer paraded in front of them like some prize pearl? Max they know I have him and that's all they need to know!" Kai replied in a slightly aggravated tone.
"Oh. Where are you going? Isn't this where the. . . " Max trailed off
"Sharks are?" Kai finished for him smirking.
" Um, yeah, not that I'm scared or anything . . . " Max said swimming closer to the merman.
"Sure, c'mon I need to get away." Kai swam into the hull of an old sunken ship.
"Err . . .about those sharks . . . " Max hinted as he followed Kai into the hull.
"No need to worry, I have Dranzer here, those sharks are as good as dead." Kai said showing the little fish his beyblade.
"Funny how that doesn't make me feel any better . . . " Max grumbled.
Bright lights shone down on the two. Kai watched as a large ship passed overhead. The merman shot to the surface.
"Hey Kai where you going?" Max yelled trying to follow the speeding merman. "Wait up!"
"I'm breaking free of the sea and it's stupid responsibilities," Kai mumbled to himself following the ship.
He surfaced and watched as colours lit up the sky. A little while later Max joined Kai. "oooo preety!" he laughed watching the show.
"You really need to lay off the coral. It's not healthy." Kai said in his monotone voice, raising an eyebrow at Max's reaction to the colours in the sky.
"Kai it's sooo awesome though, have you ever seen anything like it!!!!" Max replied oblivious to Kai's comment.
"I'm surprised that stupid bird isn't here, what's his name again, that's right, Tyson, he normally revels in these human celebrations" Kai commented to no one in particular.
"HEY KAI! HEY MAX! UP HERE!!!!!" A voice yelled from above.
"Speak of the flaming idiot. . . " Kai mumbled
"Hey it's Tyson! HI TYSON!!!" Max yelled
Kai sighed, "Is it just me or am I surrounded by complete fools!" he murmured under his breath.
The gull known as Tyson flew closer to the merman and fish so he could speak without yelling. He was navy blue where he was supposed to be white from flying into a pot of dye.
"So you've decided to take my advice and come to see what the humans are up to? Pretty awesome huh? I told you the humans were interesting creatures." Tyson said proudly
"Whatever, I didn't come up here to watch stupid humans and their annoying celebrations, actually I was hoping another ship was burning, would have been interesting to watch them running around screaming."
"You really need to lighten up Kai! C'mon take a look at them!" Tyson urged pulling the merman along by his hair.
"HEY LET GO OF ME YOU CRAZY BIRD!" Kai cried.
"I think it would be a healthy experience. . " Max said thoughtfully nudging the prince towards the ship.
The bird and fish struggled getting the merprince to the ship but finally they succeeded.
Tyson let go of Kai's hair and hovered slightly above the water. "Go on take a look . . "
Kai made a face and lunged at the bird, but Tyson was to quick for him. Grumbling the Merprince climbed the Ship's side. "This better be worth it."
The ship was lit up with a golden shine with many humans on board who sang, laughed and talked to one another. In the center of the company was a beautiful young girl whose brown hair was tied up, with ringlets that framed her face and she had deep-set mahogany eyes. She wore a long red dress that had a low neckline and short sleeves complimented by diamond jewelry and a gold crown with diamonds embedded in the front. The lady was dancing with a strong youth in a sailor's outfit, while an older man with purple hair watched.
She laughed as she was spun around and Kai watched entranced.
"He HE! The Prince has taken a likin to one of the Humans!" Tyson jeered flying just out of the Kai's reach.
"Shut up you stupid bird, I'm off." Kai grumbled purposely falling off the side of the ship back into the ocean.
"Did you hear something splash into the water?" Hilary asked her young dancing partner as he twirled her around the deck.
"No mam." He said and began to talk of other things.
Robert interrupted the festivity, "Ahem. As you all know today is Princess Hilary's birthday"
There were many cheers from the sailors.
"Because we went to meet Prince Spencer I was unable to present you with this small gift, my dear. I had hoped it would have been a wedding present. . "
"Oh Robert, Your very sweet, but it's not my time to get married, not just yet"
Hilary interrupted.
"Just know that we all hope to see you happy that's all." Robert said soberly.
Hilary smiled, "I know."
"Here my dear." Robert said handing over a small box.
Hilary opened the box carefully. Inside was a silver necklace with a pendant. The pendant was of a sword that was surrounded by a phoenix. "Oh Robert it's beautiful!" the girl cried hugging the older man.
"I'm glad you like it." He replied.
Kai slowly swam away from the boat followed by an excited Max.
"What did you see Kai? Huh? Huh? Huh? I saw ALL these PREETY lights and then I heard laughter and some funny music!!!" Max explained eagerly.
"They're just humans Max." Kai said, he noticed a black shadow on the surface of the water.
"Tyson!" he exclaimed swimming up to the surface. 'I'm going to drown that stupid bird!" he mumbled getting closer to the shadow. He lunged for the bird but Tyson was too quick, flying away from the prince.
"You wasted my time bird." Kai growled.
"You didn't look too unhappy watching that pretty human girl." Tyson teased.
Before Kai could answer the ship's front burst out into flames. Kai, Max and Tyson covered their eyes from the blaze.
"What's going on?" Max asked concerned.
"The ship's going to sink." Kai replied
"Aren't you going to do anything?" Max asked anxious
"No I'm – " Kai started but was interrupted by a red glow coming from his beyblade. "What the- "
A red phoenix tinged with fire freed itself from Kai's beyblade heading straight for the burning wreck.
"Dranzer!" Kai yelled following the beast.
Hilary clutched onto the phoenix necklace she now wore around her neck. She had lost Robert somewhere in the blaze and now the whole ship was falling apart around her. There was only one choice. Hilary dived into the watery depths below her.
Kai swam furiously after his bit beast. The red blaze maneuvered it's was in, out and around pieces of wreckage finally encircling something. Kai swam towards it to find it was the girl from the ship. She had lost consciousness and was slowly sinking towards the bottom of the ocean.
"This is your lucky day human." Kai mumbled diving for the girl. He grabbed hold of her and began swimming to the surface. When he surfaced the girl remained unconscious and Dranzer refused to go back into Kai's beyblade, it shot ahead towards land, Kai followed the red streak.
