(Xuffie places down the X Crystal, ready to start the recap. An interface shone out of it)
Xuffie: Xuffie's log. Week 7. We found eight pearls from around the world. The one I like most is Ikuma, the Black Pearl. He was so nice... Anyways, when Kiha and Lanhua attacked us, the Aqua knight, who is also one of the eight pearls, came in and using our Crystal Idol formes, we were able to defeat them! Let's see what will happen next.
(The screen faded to black)
777 years ago, a girl was in her bedroom. Just then, a mysterious being appeared. "W-Who are you?" said the girl. "I am… your worst nightmare" said the figure. The entity stepped out of the shadows to reveal he was an angel with a face of a man and a body of a bird. "What do you want from me?" said the girl. "Nothing. I just need your soul." said the angel, "So full of love. The perfect source of energy" He flapped his wings and stole the essence of life out of her. Just then, a boy ran into the room. "Fuku!" said the boy. "Oh, it's that bratty little boy" said Fuku. "Get back here!" said the boy. He chased Fuku until he captured him. "Give me back Umi's soul!" said the boy. "No. For, you see, it's too late!" said Fuku. The boy punched Fuku and he dropped a faded, cracked pearl. "I'll be back!" said Fuku. He disappeared. The boy ran over to Umi's body, only to see a pile of seafoam and a shell necklace. He gasped. "She's a mermaid." he said. He looked at the broken pearl.
Intro
Hanon was watching a fashion blog. Noel walked up to her. "What are you watching?" she asked. "It's a fashion blog. Faith showed me it yesterday thinking I might like it" said Hanon, "Her name is Nami Cinnamon." "She sounds cool!" said Noel. "Someday, I'll be just like her" said Hanon. Just then, Coco came in. "Hey! Everyone!" said Coco. "What is it?" said Noel. "Xuffie just found another pearl!" said Coco. "That's great! Where is it?" said Noel. "In a haunted house" said Coco. "Didn't we already have a haunted house episode two seasons ago?" said Hanon. "Why would the writer add another haunted house episode?" said Karen. "I have no idea what you two are talking about." said Coco. "Well you four are coming with me" said Xuffie, "Seira, you too" "Aw come on! I hate ghosts!" said Seira. "Don't worry, it'll be fine!" said Yuuri, "If it's okay, we'll go with you" "Just don't play your piano there. You know what happened last time" said Xuffie. "Yeah, you scared the hell out of me last time" said Yoshino. "Yoshino! When did you get here?" said Hanon. "I was always here." said Yoshino. "Okay, so my magic doesn't work around haunted houses" said Yuuri. 「Ema, are you going?」asked Hanon. 「Yeah, sure!」said Ema. "So where is this house?" said Lucia. "On the outskirts of Tsutsujimisaki" said Xuffie. "Okay! Then let's go!" said Gabrielle. "Oh hi Gabrielle, Qinglong" said Lucia. "Is everyone going to show up unexpectedly?" said Noel. "Given enough time, yes" said Zoe.
Episode 8: House of mystery. Hazy equinox of pearl clockwork. Inviting just bonds
The 14 aforementioned people along with Rina, Masahiro, Mikaru and Meru, were at the haunted house. "Mikaru-san, you didn't have to bring Meru-san with us" said Hippo. "What? She wanted to come with us" said Mikaru. "Well, let's go in." said Lucia. The eighteen of them went inside. "It's dark" said Meru. "Good thing my X Crystal works as a flashlight" said Xuffie. The X Crystal formed a small spotlight. "Let's look for the pearl" said Lucia. "How about we split up!" said Hanon. "There's a problem with that." said Yuuri, "We only have one flashlight" "Why don't we use the pearls as a flashlight" said Lucia. "That might work" said Hippo, "Even though it's a crazy plan" "I agree with Hippo-sama" said Yuuri. "I could do the same thing for Jeff and David's teleportation rock but with the flashlight function" said Xuffie. "Then it's settled. We're splitting up." said Qinglong. "Me, Lucia, and Rina will go one way. Karen, Noel, and Coco will go another." said Hanon, "Hippo, Yuuri, go with Seira. Xuffie, take care of Meru and Mikaru." "Me, Qinglong and Zoe will go search in the basement." said Gabrielle. "That leaves Masahiro, Ema and Yoshino." said Rina. "Got all that?" said Hanon. Everyone nodded in agreement. Lucia got out her pearl and Xuffie made it glow. Karen, Seira, Zoe and Masahiro did the same. "This can only glow for two hours, so come back to me after that time period" said Xuffie. "Let's start looking." said Lucia. The six groups split up.
Lucia, Hanon and Rina were searching the study room. "The pearl isn't in here" said Hanon. "You'd think if the pearl knew we were here, she'll be looking for us as well." said Rina. "Is that a letter" said Lucia. The three of them read it. "I'll avenge you. He stole your soul, I took it back. The ocean is cursed. Umi, if you're reading this, I love you always." "What is this?" said Hanon. "It's a message" said Rina. "I know that, but what is it saying?" said Hanon. "Someone avenged his lover and uncurse the ocean, I think" said Lucia. "What does "I took it back" mean?" said Hanon. "I think it's how he avenged his lover" said Rina. "What was the ocean cursed by?" said Lucia. Rina shrugged. Karen, Noel and Coco walked up to them. "So, did you find the pearl yet?" said Noel. Lucia shook her head. "But we found this" she added. She gave the letter to the other three. "What on earth is this?" said Coco. "That's what we're trying to figure out." said Lucia. "Okay, so it seems like there is a curse in the ocean." said Noel, "Knowing this thing's connection with the pearl, it probably has to do with one of the mermaid kingdoms" "Wait, isn't our main goal to find this pearl?" said Coco. "When we find him or her, we can get more information about this message." said Noel. "Let's keep looking." said Karen. "At least we know more about her, not that we know that much about her" said Lucia. "We've only been looking for 30 minutes. We still have 90 minutes until we have to get back to Xuffie." said Hanon. "Let's look together." said Rina. The others nodded. The six of them left.
Xuffie, Mikaru and Meru were searching the attic. "Hey, what's this?" said Mikaru. She took it out. It was sheet music from the 13th century. "Can anyone sing this?" said Mikaru. "I have no experience in this style of notation, but I'll give it a try." said Xuffie. She studied the sheet music for a few seconds and searched up a database of notation. She started humming a melody that Meru seemed to recognise. "Meru, you recognise that song" said Mikaru. "It's the song from the Morning Moon Music Box" said Meru. "Oh, that!" said Mikaru, "Why couldn't I hear it?" "It plays a song only South Atlantic mermaids can hear, which is this one" sad Xuffie. "Why would sheet music for this song be here?" said Meru. "I'm guessing that this pearl is somehow related to the South Atlantic ocean" said Mikaru. "I think you're right" said Xuffie. "In any case, we should tell the others about this" said Xuffie. They went downstairs. They saw Hippo, Yuuri and Seira. "Oh, hi!" said Seira, "You found anything yet?" "We found sheet music for the Morning Moon Music Box" said Meru. "The special music box from the South Atlantic Ocean?" said Hippo. Meru nodded. "I have no idea what this has to do with this pearl" said Mikaru. "Well, our best guess is that this pearl might be the one who wrote it" said Seira. Gabrielle, Qinglong and Zoe went up to them. "I think we found something that could help us!" said Zoe. It was a journal. The nine of them read it. "June 12th 1229. I found that dark angel. The one who killed my parents. If I want to fight him, I might as well get prepared." "June 19th 1229. I didn't kill him, but I got a feather. I now have to make a device that could track him somehow." "June 24th 1229. I finished my device. It can lead me to where he is." "June 27th 1229. Oh no. He knows Umi! I have to protect her, no matter what it takes." "June 30th 1229. Umi says she'll be going to a ceremony far away and says I can't be with her. I just hope she stays safe." "July 1st 1229. Oh no! Umi! No! I lost her, to him. I lost everyone I had. First my parents, now Umi. But during that time, I suddenly realised why she was so distant from me, why she refused to tell me where she was going all this time. Umi is a mermaid. She truly loved me! I have to let her know that I feel the same way about her." "July 3rd 1229. She is complete. She is awake! She doesn't have a soul, that was lost forever. All that's left is a regular old pearl. But I managed to make her live again. Umi, I'll never let you go." "May 23rd 1231. The shogun has arranged a marriage with this girl. Even still, my heart will always be for Umi. I'll never leave you." "The pearl has been long gone, but she's alive somehow!" said Zoe. "I have no idea how that could happen" said Gabrielle. Just then, Masahiro, Ema and Yoshino walked up to them. "I saw something you should all see" said Masahiro.
Eyecatch: Hanon
The twelve of them went into a room. There, they saw a clockwork doll with a faded pearl in her chest. "It's a doll." said Yoshino. "More importantly, it's a pearl" said Xuffie. "I'm going to find Lucia, Hanon, Rina, Karen, Noel and Coco!" said Yuuri. She teleported to them. "So, what do we do with it?" said Hippo. 「Is she asleep?」said Ema. "Probably." said Masahiro. Qinglong noticed a clockwork key on Umi's back. "We need to wind her up" said Qinglong. Qinglong did so. The clockwork girl Umi woke up. "H...Hello?" said Umi. "Hello, Umi. We're your friends" said Xuffie. "W...Where's Riku?" cried Umi. "Riku's dead… for more than 700 years" said Gabrielle. "Riku…" said Umi, "The last thing he told me…" "What was the last thing he told you?" said Seira. "I will be reborn. And when that time comes, he will be reborn too" said Umi. She looked at Xuffie. "What year is it?" she said. "2006." said Xuffie, "Why do you ask?" "My pearl can't power this body forever. But when time comes, I will be reborn." said Umi. "How much time do you think you have left" asked Hippo. "I think 200 years or so." said Umi. Lucia, Hanon, Rina, Karen, Noel, Coco and Yuuri appeared. "Who's that?" said Lucia. "Umi" said Xuffie, "She's one of the pearls" "Except the magic of her pearl is lost and all that remains is this" said Zoe. Hanon walked up to Umi. She looked at Hanon. "A South Atlantic Mermaid Princess, just like I was." said Umi, "A curse…" "What sort of curse?" said Hanon. "That angel… cursed us" said Umi. "What angel?" said Coco. "He had pink hair..." "Fuku!" said Lucia. "You know him?" said Umi. "He was my pet" said Mikaru. "Your pet, huh?" said Umi. "He tried to destroy the world." said Mikaru. She stopped. "And I helped him…" "What is it, Mikaru? Post-traumatic stress disorder?" said Lucia. "Let's take her outside for now" said Lucia. Xuffie carried her outside. "My love was hopeless…" said Umi, "Then I died." "What are you saying?" said Hanon. "The curse… not to love… a human…" "Umi, am I cursed?" said Hanon. "Do not..." said Umi. She shut down. Hanon quickly winded the key. "I think we should leave now" said Lucia. She and 14 others left.
The 15 pearls met up with Xuffie and Mikaru. "Hey, Mikaru. Feeling better?" said Lucia. Mikaru nodded. Noel put on her glasses and said, "Let's review what we know!" Noel got out a blackboard. "Where did you get that from?" said Lucia. "Don't ask about that." said Noel, "The writer got it for me" She started writing on the chalkboard. "So Umi is a girl who used to be the Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic." said Noel, "Her lover tried to avenge her by uncursing the ocean. However, that failed. Instead, he built a mechanical body for Umi. Judging from what Umi said, the curse was to not love. So… Hanon's screwed." "Did we reveal a spoiler too early?" said Karen. "I think so." said Xuffie. "But is there a way for Hanon to not…" "Well, Umi said to not do something" said Karen. "For one, Hanon-san could stop loving Nagisa-san" said Hippo. "What about me?" said Nagisa. "Nagisa! When did you come here?" said Xuffie. "I heard that Hanon was here." said Nagisa. "She is, but she's… uhh…" "Why don't we talk for a while" said Coco. Hanon came running out. "Ah! Nagisa!" she said. "Hey, Hanon!" said Nagisa. "Why don't we go out for dinner!" said Hanon. "Okay." said Nagisa. The two of them left. "Just what is up with that girl?" said Hippo. "It's a good thing Nagisa didn't find about Umi" said Noel. "Or the fact that any of us are pearls" said Xuffie. "You did reveal a spoiler a little too early" I said. "Oh, hey, Writer-kun" said Karen. I stared at her. "Oh, right." said Karen. "Then again, she didn't say what will happen to Hanon." I said, "Well, I better get back to my own time." I disappeared into a portal. "That was weird." said Lucia. "We've been rambling on for long enough" said Rina, "Let's follow Hanon." "Okay!" said Lucia. The seventeen of them followed Hanon. "Wait, what about Umi?" said Meru. "Let's just leave her there" said Xuffie. The seventeen of them continued to follow Hanon.
The seventeen of them followed Hanon. "Is that an italian restaurant?" said Xuffie. "One of the most famous in this area." said Lucia, "You can't even go in without a reservation, unless you're making a reservation." "How on earth did she get a reservation? It takes more than two weeks just to get a reservation." said Hippo. "You know what? Let's just follow them." said Coco. The seventeen walked to the restaurant but was disallowed by the bouncer. "I'm sorry, but do you have a reservation?" he said. The seventeen of them just stood there. "No!" said Meru. "Well if you don't have a reservation, then you could either book one or get out" said bouncer-kun. The seventeen walked in. "Hey look! It's Hanon." said Lucia. They saw Hanon talking with Nagisa. "How on earth did we even get here? This is barely related to the episode" said Xuffie. Lucia walked up to them. Hanon saw her. "Lucia! What are you doing here?" said Hanon. "What are you doing?" said Lucia, "Didn't you hear Umi?" "Who's Umi?" said Nagisa. "Heh! No-one!" said Hanon, "Me and Lucia are going to talk for a bit" Hanon dragged Lucia. "I am listening to Umi. She only told me that the curse concerns me loving a descendant of Riku." said Hanon, "But as far as I'm concerned, Riku didn't have any children." "Well, his journal says that the shogun forced him to marry someone else." said Lucia. Hanon stopped. "What if I'm wrong. What if I'm screwed." said Hanon. "Well, are you?" said Lucia. "Of course I'm not!" said Hanon. She giggled. "You better get out of here before you get kicked out" she added. Hanon ran back to Nagisa. Lucia shrugged and started walking to Xuffie. "Well, as far as I'm concerned, Nagisa is not a descendant of Riku" said Lucia, "Hanon told me that Umi said that if she did fall victim to the curse, she'll love a descendant of Riku." "What are the chances of that happening?" said Coco. "Well the actual math is a little hazy." said Noel. "Well if Nagisa was a descendant of an angel hunter, then at least he would know about it" reasoned Zoe. "Wait, is Hanon drinking soda?" said Gabrielle. "Fun fact: Mermaids get drunk on soda" said Xuffie. 「Are you forgetting that I'm here?」said Ema. 「Sorry.」 said Rina, "Cat" 「She said that mermaids get drunk on soda.」said Masahiro. 「That's weird.」said Ema. "That's not weird. The fact that Hanon's screaming her song is" said Coco. Yep, Hanon is screaming her song. "I'm pretty sure the writer is running out of ideas at this point." said Karen, "He's not even following the original plotline" Just then, there was an attack. "Uh oh!" said Lucia.
"Pink Pearl Voice!" "Green Pearl Voice!" "Purple Pearl Voice!" "Aiiro Pearl Voice!" "Yellow Pearl Voice!" "Orange Pearl Voice!" "White Pearl Voice!" "Red Pearl Voice!" "Sakura Pearl Voice!" 「Navy Pearl Voice!」 "Left Pearl Voice!" "Right Pearl Voice!" The 13 of them went up to Kiha and Lanhua. "Are you ever going to recruit new people?" said Noel. "No, I think two is enough" said Kiha. "Aren't you missing someone, maybe two people?" said Lanhua. "Or perhaps nine?" said Kiha. "Hanon is drunk. We can't actually use Umi's pearl. And Penelope, Winona, Ben, Faith, Jeff, David and Ikuma are unavailable right now" said Lucia. "Oh, that's a shame." said Kiha. He got out his K destroyer. "It means I have the upper hand." he said. Lucia hit Kiha with her staff. "We're not going to do that again." said Kiha. He placed a portal under Lucia and made her fall 30 meters. Xuffie flew up and caught her. "Thanks!" said Lucia. "No problem" said Xuffie. Just then, they saw Kiha grabbing Rina. "Rina! Oh no!" said Xuffie. They flew down. "You dumb girl, do you ever learn?" said Kiha, "We might just make you our pet" "Get your hands off Rina!" shouted Masahiro. "Get out!" said Kiha. Rina struggled. Kiha grabbed Rina's dress, and pulled it causing Rina to spin around. Masahiro caught Rina. "Rina! Are you okay?" asked Masahiro. "I'm fine. I want to hit him now" said Rina. Just then, Hanon appeared. "Hanon, you're drunk" said Lucia. "I can still sing!" said Hanon, "Mi...Mizu… earthworm? What colour is an earthworm?" "Earthworm coloured?" said Rina. "Earthworm-coloured? Earthworm-coloured?" said Hanon, "Oh right!" "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!" "I'm still drunk, but not as drunk as before!" said Hanon, "This is for attacking my friends, even though it was dropping Lucia from a height and making Rina dizzy." "I can do it again!" said Kiha. He summoned another portal under Lucia. He was about to grab Rina when Masahiro punched him. "Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!"

Hanon winded up Umi. She woke up. "Did you ask him out?" she asked. "I did, but some demons ruined it." said Hanon. "Oh, but you did have a good time." said Umi. "Aside from the demons, yes." said Hanon, "It's a shame that you can't be with Riku for the next 223 years." "Yeah, it's a shame" said Umi. They sat and talked for a while.
