Tea andYugi rode on a killer whale to the cavern full of Tea's collection of human objects. Yugi told her she had a surprise waiting for her in the cavern.Tea was excited to know what it was.
"Yugi, why don't you tell me what this is all about?" Tea asked laughing.
"You'll see, it's a big surprise!"Yugi said before he and Tea arrived. And when they did,Tea caught her breath and was speechless.
"Oh…Yugi!" Tea said as she stared at the same statue of Seto Kaiba himself from the boat. She then hugged herchildhood friend. "You're the best! How can I ever thank you?"
She then swam to the statue and inspected it. "It looks just like him, it even has his eyes!"
Offstage
"She's right, big brother, it does look like you." Mokuba whispered in a snicker.
"Mokuba!"Kaiba whispered in an almost yell. "Will you be quiet?"
"Sorry, Seto..." whispered Mokuba.
Onstage
Tea giggled and began talking to the statue. "Why Kaiba, run away with you? This is so…so sudden." She continued to laugh and until she saw a shadowy figure and gasped and realized who it was. "Pharaoh!"
Yugi hid behind a rock whileTristan came from behind the Pharaoh's fin. He was the one who told him everything that happened between Tea and the human she saved. After he realized the Pharaoh thought Tea was in love with a merman, he felt ashamed of telling him that she was in love with a human.
"I consider myself a reasonable merman." Yami Yugi began after coming out of the shadows. "I set certain rules, and I expect those rules to be obeyed!"
"Pharaoh, if you could just listen…" Tea began but was interrupted by the spirit of the Millenium Puzzle.
"Is it true, you rescued a human from drowning?" the Pharaoh demanded in a very mad tone.
"I had to, Pharaoh!" said Tea.
The Pharaoh grew angrier, "You know the rules, Tea! You are forbidden to have any contact with the human world!"
"He would've died!" Tea exclaimed.
"One less human to worry about!" the Pharaoh stated coldly.
"You don't even know him!"Tea nearly shouted.
"Know him? I don't have to 'know him'. Humans are thoughtless barbarians incapable of having any feeling…" Yami began to state just before Tea shouted out four words that she would regret shouting.
"Pharaoh, I love him!" She suddenly gasped at what she said.
Tristan slapped his claws to the sides of his face in shock.
"No, have you lost all your senses. He's a human, you're a mermaid!" Pharaoh yelled.
"I don't care." Tea sobbed as she was hiding behind the statue.
"So help me, Tea, if I'm going to get through to you." the angry Pharaoh roared as the Millenium Puzzle began to glow. "And if this is the only way…So be it!"
Then, with the blast from the Millenium Puzzle, the Pharaoh used "Mind Crush" to destroy Tea's collection within the cavern in a blind raging fury before he turned his attention to the full-sized statue of Seto Kaiba himself. Tea pleaded him to stop but he wouldn't listen. Then, with one final shot, the statue began to break up and exploded into millions of pieces.Tea then went over to where the statue was and began to sob quietly. The Pharaoh, having regretting what he had done, decided to leave just as Tristan and Yugi came up to her.
"Tea, I…" Tristan tried to apologize before Tea interrupted him.
"Just go away." She sobbed in a whisper.
Tristan andYugi looked at each other sadly, swam, and crawled away. Unknown to them,the two Lightning Congers were watching. Taking the opportunity, they swam to Tea.
"Poor child…"One Lightning Conger began.
"Poor sssweet child." the second Lightning Conger finished as if he andthe other had a mind link.
"She has a very sseriouss problem. If only there was something we could do." The first Lightning Congersaid as he and other one swam back to back, or tail to tail whichever.
"But there is something."the second Lightning Conger stated.
"Wh-who are you?" Tea stuttered and sniffed.
"Don't be scared…" "We represent someone who can help you…" "Someone who can make all your dreams come true." The two of them stated. Then at the same time they said, "Just imagine, you and your prince, together, forever."
"I-I don't understand." Tea said.
"Risa, has great powers." The first Lightning Conger stated.
"The sea witch? No! Go away and leave me alone!"Tea nearly yelled.
"Suit yourself." the first Lightning Conger said before he andthe other began swimming away.
"It was only a suggestion." the second Lightning Congerfinished but smacked the face of Seto Kaiba's statue to the front of Tea, obviously to get her to change her mind.
WhenTea saw the statue's face, she reached over, picked it up, and stared at it for a while. Then, she came up with a grave decision she herself would regret. "Wait!"
The two Lightning Conger, figuring they got to her, turned to her and said in innocent voices, "Yes?"
Meanwhile, back outsideYugi andTristan were still sulking after what they witnessed in the cavern.Tristan was still cursing himself for telling Pharaoh Atem what had happened between Tea and the human (Seto Kaiba).
"Poor Tea."Yugi said in a sad tone. "Poor, poor Tea,"
"I didn't mean to tell, it just slipped!"Tristan said.
Then they saw three shadows swim over them. Tristan immediately recognized the mermaid shaped shadow. "Tea?" He then swam up to her.
"Tea, where are you going?" He asked her.
"I'm going to see Risa." Tea stated coldly.
Tristan gasped knowing whom she was talking about. "No, Tea! You're crazy! She's a demon! She's a monster, a psychio!"
"Why don't you go tell the Pharaoh? You're good at that." Tea stated coldly again.
"But I…"Tristan began then turned to Yugi and said in a gruff voice, "Come on!"
Offstage
"Well Risa, you betta get ready." Hegate Kageyama whispered to her sister.
"Don't worry, Hegate, I'll do fine." Risa whispered back getting ready for her scene.
"Go knock the audience dead, Risa." Violet whispered to her sister.
Injection Fairy Lily: Hegate Kageyama, the third evil Kageyama sister is in charge of the tech crew, and she designed the scenes, and the costumes with the help from Espa Roba and his brothers.
Onstage
Tea and the two Lightning Conger have been swimming for quite a while now. They've been passing creepy places even for the real Tea to handle. Then they came up to Risa's place; it was creepier than the places they swam by. It looked like the skeleton of a dead Foretress Whale.Tea hesitated a bit and stopped but the Lightning Conger stopped in front of her and insisted.
"This way." They said at the same time.
This time,Tea didn't hesitate and followed them. Once inside, she saw that little 'garden' of Risa's. They really began to creep her out, mainly they looked like slime, and they were scary looking. Some of them tried to grab her and that really scared her. She tried to pull away but they were frantically grabbing her she thought they were going to eat her when in reality they were trying to warn her. She managed to pull away and looked around when she heard a voice.
"Come in, come in my child. We mustn't gawk at the door." The voice revealed her, it was Risa. "It's rude."
Tea swam deeper into the cave.
"One might ask why you are here." Risa said before going to a mirror and getting some sort of moose in her hair. "Now, then you're here because you have a thing for this human. This prince fellow."Risa said rubbing the 'moose' on her hair. "Not that I blame you, he is quite a catch isn't he?" She asked and laughed a little before picking up a little organic object and squeezed it letting some red stuff come out and putting it on like lipstick. "Well little girl, the solution to your problem is simple: the only way to get what you want, is to become a human yourself."
Tea's interest sparked and she then asked, "Can you do that?"
Risa glanced towardsTea and grinned. "My dear sweet child, that's what I do. It's what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk, like yourself, poor souls with no one else to turn to." Risa said before her song began.
"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..."
She looked at Tea with a crazy, nasty look and two Lightning Conger laughed before she continued.
"And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed..."
Risa went over to where she usually spies on Tea and it opened to reveal a cauldron.
"And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely and depressed...
(Pathetic)..."
She looked to the two Lightning Conger saying that with a disgusted look. She then began to swim around the cauldron and revealed two projections of a merman and a mermaid. The merman was a skinny, pathetic looking guy, and the mermaid was a fat one.
"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?"
She pointed to the two merfolk and then their images changed to a very muscular merman and a very beautiful mermaid. They see each other and hug.
"Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad
So true
They come flocking to my deck
Crying, 'Spell Cards, Risa please!'
And I help them?
Yes, I do..."
She was by the cauldron still looking at the two images. Meanwhile,Tristan andYugi were making their way into the cave themselves only to see Risa in the middle of her song.
"Now it's happened once or twice,
Someone couldn't pay life points,
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals..."
The images shrug showing no sign of payment. Then, Risa takes her hand and pretends to swipe something and then the images change into those Revival Jams.Tea then realizes what those creatures were and she took one quick glance back at them.
"Yes, I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint..."
She grabbed what looked like a ribbon and put it around her head like a nun. She then took it and rubbed her back with it.
"To those poor unfortunate souls..."
She then takes the ribbon object and wrapped Tea in it and began discussing the deal.
"Now, here's the deal. I will turn you into a human for three days. Got that? Three days." She began explaining and went over to the cauldron with her and images began to appear. "Now before the sunsets on the third day, you have to get that prince fellow to fall in love with you. That is, he has to kiss you. Well, not just any kiss. The kiss of true love." She explained as the images of a crown and heart appear. "If he kisses you before the sunsets on the third day, you will remain human permanently. But, if he doesn't you'll turn back into a mermaid and…" She said showing an image of her as a human before it changed to a mermaid and the cauldron closed. "You belong, to me."
"No Tea…!" Tristan began before the two Lightning Conger wrapped their tails around them to shut their mouths.
Risa then went over to Tea and put her hand under her chin and asked, "Have we got a deal?"
Tea began to ponder. "If I become human, I will never be able to see Pharaoh Atem and the other maidens again."
"That's right!" She began sarcastically. "But, you'll have your man"
She finished and chuckled. "Life's full of choices isn't it? Oh, and there is one more thing, we haven't discussed the subject of payment."
"But I don't have any…"Tea began before Risa used her tentacle so shut her mouth.
"I'm not asking much, just a token, really, a trifle. What I want from you is…" Risa began and had her finger under Tea's chin. "Your voice."
Tea held her hand close to her neck. "My voice?"
"You've got it sweetcakes, no more talking, singing, zip!" She said popping her lips at the end.
"But without my voice, how can I…?"Tea began to ask.
"You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!"
"The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore
Yes, on land it's much preferred
For ladies not to say a word
And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?"
Risa began taking magic cards, and began to throw them into the cauldron.
"Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can..."
The magic cards exploded once they got into the cauldron. Risa began to swim with moves like a model before continuing.
"But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man..."
She continued her song and went over to thegraveyard and continued to put more magic cards in it to complete the concoction needed to turn Tea into a human. She continued to swim around and created an image of Seto Kaiba himself in front of Tea and came out with her face.
"Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy duelist
And I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!"
She swam around again and a couple of explosions followed the following notes.
"You poor unfortunate soul,
It's sad,
But true..."
She appeared next to Tea with a golden contract and it had a blank spot for Tea's signature. Then a pen appeared afterwards.
"If you want to play the game, my sweet
You've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and make your move
And go ahead and sign the scroll!"
She then went over and whispered some more notes to the two Lightning Conger.
"Lightning Congers, now I've got her, boys
The witch is on a roll..."
She swam up, spun around, and then pointed toTea finishing up the song.
"This poor…"
Tea glanced at the contract and grabbed the pen.
"...unfortunate soul!"
Teasigned the contract with her name and then the contract scrolled up, went to Risa, and disappeared. Risa then looked at Tea and began chanting a spell in Egyptian. The cauldron started to brew up some sort of smoke. Then that smoke turned into a pair of hands and then Risa looked at Tea again and pointed to her.
"Now, sing!"
And Tea began to sing.
"Keep singing!"
Teadid continue to sing just as those two smoke hands went over to her and pulled a light out of her throat, which anyone can tell you is her voice. The smoke was then sucked into a seashell worn by Risa and it stopped singing. Then Risa began to cackle and Tea began to change. Her fins changed into a pair of legs, with a long green skirt and it looked as though she was drowning. Tristan andYugiswamto her and began to pull her up to the surface. Then, once they hit the surface, they began to swim towards the shore. The scene ended just as the audience began to burst into applause.
Then a voice came up on the PA. "Ok folks, that's the end of Act 1 and we're going to take a short intermission and I hope you've enjoyed so far."
The audience began to get up and stretch around.
Backstage
Tea coughed up water from her mouth, and Yugi gave her a nice, white, warm towel to dry off.
