As the others helped Tommy to his feet Kyle approached the surprised mermaid.
"Hey guys Check it out It's Ariel "
Thrown into greater surprise that the strangers knew her name Ariel spoke up.
"Who are you? Were you following me?" There was a pause, "Or did father send you to look after me?"
"Don't worry," Alex turned her attention to the fishy teenager, "We weren't following you, we were just checking out this place. We thought we were the only ones here."
There was a clamber of sea junk as Tommy tried righting himself, he mumbled woozily.
"Are you alright?"
"He never is." Kyle said with a roll of the eyes.
"Oh," A dumpy yellow blue striped fish said as he swam into view, "I thought he was a shark "
"But," Ariel pressed the questions further, "Where did you all come from?"
"We're on a journey to stop the Heartless," Josh glided over, "We suspected that whoever lives here might have someone who'd be interested in using their power for evil."
"The only person I know of that would do something like that is Ursula, but," the red head became worried, "we haven't heard any news of her whereabouts either, but what's a Heartless?"
"We'll they're-"
"Guys " Flounder broke the conversation as he "ducked" beneath a barrel, "We've got company "
The others turned around just in time to see a giant figure swimming at them at break neck speed. They also ducked just in time as the great white shark rammed the ship and tore off the whole top part of it. As it swam around for another charge Tommy dashed up to meet it with his keyblade drawn.
"Eat keyblade mofo " Tommy roared as he brought up his weapon, only to have it bounce off it's tough leathery skin. The shark diverted it's attention to him but before it could get in an attack a whirlpool came rushing out of nowhere and knocked it off balance. Alex grabbed Josh and flung the stingray at the confused shark.
"Take it out "
Blood flew everywhere as Josh's gunblade struck the shark. But unfortunately the only thing the wound did was drive it into a frenzy. It whipped it's tail around and blew Tommy away. Kyle came to his friends aid as the shark tried to bite at them; it's teeth scraping the toughened shield.
Come on, for the people in front of me. Let me beat him.
Once again a whirlpool shot out of nowhere, but this one was of a much more considerable size. It was enough to catch the shark in it's current and blow it out of sight. Once the danger passed Tommy made a rare thanks to Alex.
"Nice magic you had there Alex."
"I didn't do that..." Alex was looking ahead in amazement.
"I did."
The four turned to see Ariel in a fighting stance. Her gentle eyes somewhat stern with concentration.
"I wonder if that shark was sent by Ursula to go after you four, she might be up to no good again..." She turned around and began to swim away, " Come on, lets go to Atlantica, it'll be safe place to plan out what to do."
As the others joined her Flounder swam at Tommy's side.
"That's a cool key-thing Mr. I wish I had one like that-"
Flounder was cut off as Tommy bopped him with a keyblade, only to have...
BANG
"DAMMIT KNOCK IT OFF ALEX "

Soon they found themselves within a grand golden castle that was made of coral. In the giant throne room they were dwarfed under the ruler of the seas. The Merman known as Triton had a lax face however, as a small crab was lecturing Ariel to pieces.
"And furthermore Ahriel, you don't realize just how dangerous da ship graveyard can be You aughta know better dan dat Why I aughta-"
"Now now Sebastian," Triton dismissed him with a hand gesture, "I think you've done enough."

"Besides," Triton peered down to the group, "I've heard their story, and it comes across to me as legitimate..." his stern face softened into a smile, "Day after day it amazes me Ariel, you've proven yourself... which is why I will let you and your newfound friends put a stop to Ursula before this Kingdom becomes her next target "
"Don't worry Daddy " The mermaid beamed, "We'll do just that "
Kyle "stepped" forward and gave a nod of agreement.
"You have nothing to worry about your highness. Ariel will be safe with us. I guarantee it "
"Suck up." Tommy mumbled.
"Personally I think we'd better keep her safe more from Tommy than Ursula..."
"Fine Fine," The great King's face once again became stern, "But I must warn all of you that Ursula is a very shrewd and cleaver sea witch. Her magic is extremely powerful; one to appear, disappear, and then reappear once more in the blink of an eye."
As if on cue the center of the room clouded with a green and black mist, and out came shooting Kat. She put her claws on what remained of her hips and grinned.
"I'm back "
Only to be greeted by a charged up trident aglow with electricity.
"Halt sea witch "
"Whoa whoa whoa " Kyle frantically swam to the king holding his front fins up, "She's with us your majesty Really Honest "
"Whoa..." Ariel let out a sigh of relief, "I thought it was Ursula..."
"No, but one would suspect." Josh shrugged.
"Yeeaaaaahhh... My regards your Majesty" Kat eyed the crackling weapon warily, "But I come with good news. I used my abilities to trick Ursula, and I said that I was to capture the keybearer and his friends within the Ship Graveyard. Once the trap is set I'll lead her in and To- er, Sora will lead the attack and we'll take her out before she has a chance to do anything "
"Why
do we have to go through all that crap?" Tommy rolled his eyes,
"Why can't we all just rush her and fry her big fat calamari
ass?"
BANG
"ALEX "
Grinning at the sight Kat straightened her collar and began to teleport again.
"Now I'll be off, hurry to the graveyard before we get there. Remember, we can't go on unless we seal the keyhole after we kick Ursula's a- er... bu- hmm... does she even have a butt?"
As the last image of the Black Fairy disappeared Kyle eyed Tommy with a funny look.
"Y'know, I was expecting that last comment from you..."

Once again in the dark depths of the ocean Kat appeared in a bow to the Heartless commander.
"I've returned, and I have captured the Keybearer and his friends."
"Excellent work fellow villainess, but without your vigilance we must hurry."
"Alrighty then," Kat turned away, "Follow me and I'll lead you to them!"
And Kat swam off with what she thought was going to be an easy victory.

Arrastrago: So many scene changes!
Mistress 9: Think this story should be called scene change?

Meanwhile, Ariel, Josh, and Tommy were being bound by ropes in the graveyard. Josh eyed his other party members warily.
"Didn't Kat's plan call for us to PRETEND that we were trapped?"
"I like this plan better!" Tommy grinned slyly.
"HEY! Ariel looked around franticly, "Who's touching my back?"
Before the scene could get any more lewd. The three saw the familiar figure of Katherine being accompanied by the Sea Witch.
"What did I tell you? Here they are!" Kat grinned in a mock sneer.
The Sea witch gave off a belt of laughter as she glared down upon the so called captured heroes.
"Look's like I've won! Now you- AHH!" She was cut off as a bullet of air smacked her in the face. Turning around the villainess saw Alex, Kyle, and a revved up Triton whose weapon was crackling with a powerful energy.
"Surrender Sea Witch!" he bellowed, "Or suffer the consequences!"
"What he said." Piped up Kyle.
The other three broke free of their fake bonds and rushed up to the others. Tommy brandished his keyblade and glared at his foe.
"And don't even try to run off!"
"Nice try," Ursula's voice suddenly changed from anger to smugness, "But you're too late!"
And with that she snapped her fingers and bound all of her foes but Kat.
"Wha?" Josh struggled at his binds, "I don't remember this part!"
"Must've been in the fine print!" Growled Alex.
"Hey! You were supposed to fall for this!" Kat swam up to the fellow Disney Villain, "I was fool proof!"
"Don't make me laugh! I knew it from the start!"
"Knew what exactly?" Kat leaned forward.
"That you're not Maleficent," Ursula leaned forward in a mocking stance, "You think I didn't know her? She doesn't speak in contractions!"
"Oh shit..."
