Thanks for the review

Alex was silent for a moment Minnie feared he may decline her request to save King Mickey but she was surprised when he said "When and where do I start this journey?"

"When, now." Minnie said "Where, down there" Minnie pointed to the ocean below

Alex laughed "You're kidding right? There's nothing but ocean down there.."

Minnie wasn't joking. She immediately pushed him off the balcony and into the water, he slowly began to sink.

"I have faith in you Alex"

Under the sea

Alex began to fail around as he tried to swim to the surface, he wasn't the best swimmer. But when it seemed he would drown, the diamond on the sword began to glow and his feet had morphed into fins. And he found he could breathe under water.

"Whoa! I can breath, I can talk, and what the heck happened to my shirt?" Alex said as he began to look for his missing shirt.

He felt someone tap him on the shoulder as he looked for his shirt, he turned around and saw a mermaid with red wavy hair and navy blue eyes.

"Um, is this yours?" The mermaid asked as she handed him his shirt.

"Um, yes.." Alex answered as he took his shirt.

After a quick exchange of stories, the learned about each other. The only thing he didn't let on was that he was really human.

"You're a princess?" Alex asked as they swam in a random direction.

"Yup" The mermaid said happily "Name's Ariel"

"And I'm Alex" Alex said as they continued on their way.

Alex was about to ask Ariel something when they both heard something, they slowly turned their heads backwards and saw a shark right behind them. They both screamed as they made a break for it with the shark in pursuit. There hope of escape was dashed when the came to a dead end.

"A DEAD END!" Ariel screamed.

When it looked like they were sushi, Alex pulled the sword out and shoved it between its teeth when it tired to bite Ariel.

"LOCKJAW!" Alex laughed as it tried to snap the sword.

Now it was time to get down to business. Alex pulled the sword out of the mouth of the shark and it instantly went after him. Both Alex and the shark swam down into a gorge. Ariel heard slashing and screaming and pounding, but what worried her is when she heard a final..

SLASH

All went silent. Ariel saw the Shark's fin peek over the ledge of the gorge. Her heart almost skipped a beat, she was worried that her new friend was shark food. The shark was now fully in view and slowly went for Ariel. It corned her and was about to chow down when the sound of SLASH was heard. The shark stopped in its tracks. And sank to the bottom, revealing the figure of Alex, he had snuck up behind the shark and impaled it. Ariel swam over and hugged him.

"YOU'RE ALRIGHT!" Ariel cried in happiness "I WAS SCARED YOU WERE GONE!"

Alex felt awkward. Not every day you're hugged by a mermaid.

"Uh? Your crushing me" Alex said in an awkward voice.

"Oh, sorry" Ariel said with embarrassment as she released him from her death grip.

Another sound was heard the turned again to see black creatures that looked like Pac-man run thru an evil filter.

"THEY'RE BACK!" Ariel screamed.

"You've seen these things before?" Alex asked.

"Yes" said Ariel "These things have been poping up all over the place."

The creatures lunged at them but they were able to dodge them.

"What now?" Alex asked dodging another attack.

"Head to the palace!" Ariel cried as she made a break for it.

Ariel lead the way as they swam for the palace
