We're Back Folks!
And here we are at the finale of the Little Mermaid. And much like the last so called 'Finny Fun' song. I am going to replace the last song in the KH II Atlantica segment with another Greatest Showman song. Only this will be a mild parody as I changed the title of the song. Also I'm expanding it by adding a much bigger fight scene and making it a bigger happy ending by not only connecting the game and movie's ending. But I am retconning the Disney Direct Sequel.
But that doesn't mean Ariel's Daughter Melody won't exist. Just not the rinse and repeat villain Morgana.
"I don't blame them though. Pat Carrol was so good as Ursula, she could read the phone book and make it sound evil." Maverick remarked.
True.
Anyway before we begin, let's answer the comments from the last chapter.
KingdomWarrior125: Thank you! No need to apologize. You can respond to this whenever you're ready.
olehbilenko93: Thank you! I appreciate your support.
Haxorus knight: That's putting it mildly, but yeah. It is unfolding. And it's only just beginning. Also thank you for helping me with the battle scene in this chapter.
SPYRO 101: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And as always thank you for your assistance in helping me write this chapter.
RustyPete12: Thank you! I love your insight of the last chapter. I totally agree with you. Also Stormur isn't looking to build an alliance other than the Organization XIII. He is only set on one goal and it's the death of the Maverick. As he was built to do so. He's only using Ursula to make it difficult for Aiden and his team.
Alright. Now that we're all here.
LET'S GET DANGEROUS!
Between Land And Sea.
Down over at shore…
On a big royal ship near the castle, several people were standing off to the sides, dressed in formal attire. The whole deck was decorated as a wedding. They're beloved Prince Eric was to be married this evening.
But not to the right woman.
Down the center of the aisle was Prince Eric, who was hypnotized, and the disguised human version of Ursula, known as Vanessa. They were walking down the aisle side by side towards the Priest. At one point, Vanessa looked down to see Max growling at her. He knew she was a fake. She kicked Max in the nose to shut him up before continuing on, as if nothing had happened.
When they got to the priest, Eric and Vanessa stopped in front of the podium. And the Priest began to speak.
"Dearly beloved . . ." the Priest began.
Meanwhile, Ariel, who was informed about Ursula's plot by Sebastian, was now holding on to a barrel she was using to float over to the ship and stop the wedding. The barrel was being pulled by Flounder towards the ship as fast as he could, as the sun continued to set in the distance.
"Don't worry Ariel. ugh - we - we're gonna make it." Flounder panted out, as he continued pulling with all his might. "We're almost there."
Ariel could just look on, a look of concern on her face.
Back at the ship
the Priest looked down at his book resting on the podium.
"Yes, um, do you Eric, take Vanessa, to be your lawfully wedded wife, for as long as you both shall live?" The Priest asked as Vanessa looked towards the sunset, content in believing her victory was close at hand.
"I do" Eric said in a monotone voice as he was still hypnotized.
Vanessa smirked until she heard Squawking in the distance, as Scuttle led many birds behind him as they flew down towards the ship.
"Eh, and do you . . ." the priest continued.
But no one heard or paid attention to him as Scuttle and his squadron of birds dove down. Vanessa barely had time to duck down to avoid being hit. She looked up with a glare before widening her eyes as they dove down again, this time between her legs and blowing her dress about.
"Waaoh!" Vanessa yelped trying to keep her balance.
All the other passengers began to panic because of the attacking birds, all the while Max barked with joy at the site while the priest continued talking, completely oblivious of the chaos around him.
Then some pelican and seals were boarding the ship as the pelicans dove in and splashed Venessa with water from their beaks. Then a blue lobster landed on her hair and then pinched her nose with his claw.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Vanessa screamed as she got covered in starfishes.
Including her mouth.
The priest kept trying to read as he was searching his book while not noticing everything that's happening on the ship. "Then by the power invested..." He muttered trying to find the rest of the words.
"GET AWAY FROM ME TO SLIMY LITTLE!" Vanessa ranted angrily as she plucked the starfishes off and swatted her arms at all the birds.
But then she yelped as she was lifted by the muzzle and bounced her like a circus ball.
Meanwhile down below. Ariel managed to use the barrel she was swimming on to finally make it to the haul of the ship.
Ariel grabbed one of the giant ores and began climbing it to try to make it to the top of the ship.
Meanwhile, Vanessa continued to be bounced around by the seals until she was thrown into the wedding cake.
Ariel finally made it to the top of the ship, holding onto the railing. She got there in time to watch Vanessa dig herself out of the cake, growling in anger at everything that's transpired so far.
Vanessa turned around to see three dolphins jump at and sprayed her with water. Scuttle then flew up to her and squawked loudly in her face. "HAAAACK!"
Which angered Vanessa even more.
"Oh, why you little-" Vanessa snapped, grabbing scuttle to strangle him. Scuttle though, took this opportunity to grab the seashell pendant from her neck and tried to pull it off. Max eventually broke free from his leash Grimsby and ran up behind Vanessa and bit down on her butt, making her scream in pain. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Eventually, the pendant finally ripped free from Vanessa's neck and went flying until it crashed and broke at Ariel's feet.
Ariel's voice began singing on its own as it began to return to Ariel. And Eric finally snapped out of the spell placed on him just in time to see Ariel sing again, a smile on her face.
"Ariel?" Eric spoke, eyes widened in recognition and a smile forming on his face.
"Eric!" Ariel exclaimed happily as Max ran up to her and started barking happily.
"You - you can talk." Eric said happily, running up to her and taking her hands in his. "You're the one."
"Eric, get away from her!" Vanessa yelled, before gasping and bringing her hand to her mouth, her real voice now revealed.
"It - it was you all the time." Eric said, taking her into his arms.
"Oh, Eric, I - I wanted to tell you." Ariel said, looking up at Eric smiling as they slowly brought their lips together.
"ERIC NO!" Vanessa shouted, unable to do anything as the two were about to kiss until…
Ariel gasped and collapsed to the floor, Eric looking on in shock as Ariel turned back into a mermaid. The sun had set before they could kiss.
"You're too late. Ahhhh hahahahahahahahaaaa!" Vanessa said, a sinister smile forming on her face as she realized Ariel failed to hold up her end of the deal. "YOU'RE TOO LATE!"
Vanessa laughed wickedly as lightning shot out of her hands as she transformed back into Ursula, everyone on the ship gasping at the site.
Ursula continued laughing as she clawed her way to Ariel and grabbed her before Eric could stop her.
"So long, Loverboy!" Ursula exclaimed before jumping off the railing of the ship, bringing Ariel with her.
"Ariel!" Eric shouted as he tried to reach for Ariel as she and Ursula splashed into the water.
Once Ariel was gone in the depth of the water. Everyone was alarmed yet again. As if seeing Ursula turn and kidnap Ariel wasn't enough. Everyone looked up thinking they were hearing more thunder as the Starburst ship came up into view and the Guardians beamed down. Sora and his keyblader friends were in their armored forms. And Maverick was standing with him.
Much to the shock of Grimsby and Eric that recognized Maverick.
"It's you." Grimsby gasped as Maverick walked by him.
"Hey kid. It's been a while. Grew a bid of armpit hair I see." Maverick quipped while greeting Eric.
"Your...Maverick? B-but." Eric was flabbergasted to see him again. The same one that saved his life as a boy. Now back out of nowhere and at a loss for words.
"Where's Ursula? Did she take her?" Blaze asked Eric.
Back underwater...
Ursula was dragging Ariel across the ocean with a firm grip on her arm.
"Poor little princess. it's not you I'm after. I've a much bigger fish to-" Ursula stated.
"URSULA STOP!" An angry voice boomed as Triton appeared in front of them looking angry and ready to rescue her daughter.
"Why, King Triton! Ha ha ha! How are you?" Ursula mocked as she circled around Triton taunting him.
"Let. Her. Go!" King Triton demanded with a hard glare.
"Not a chance Triton. She's mine now." Ursula declared back at him. As Ariel was restrained by Flotsam and Jetsam. And Ursula showed King Triton the glowing contract. "We made a deal. I bet you got the memo from those boys with the keychains."
"Daddy I'm sorry! I - I - I didn't mean to. I didn't know!" Ariel tearfully cried out as she fought with the two eels grips.
King Triton had enough as he blasted at the contract. But as his blast collided. It flashed and nothing happened.
"Hahaha! You see? The contract's legal, binding and completely unbreakable, even for YOU. Of course, I always was a girl with an eye for a bargain. The daughter of the great sea king is a very precious commodity. But... I might be willing to make an exchange for someone even better….." Ursula mused as she was explaining the deal.
Much to King Triton's horror as he watched Ariel slowly turn into an polyp from the contract's energy swirling around her.
He was gonna have to make a choice. For his little girl.
Meanwhile back up on the service...
Sora was slamming his keyblade on top of the water but he couldn't break the banishment barrier. The Guardians figured out what Ursula's plan was and they were already too late. They had to get down there now.
"Ugh! come on!" Sora groaned as slamming his keyblade down, but they kept hearing the loud thudding of the barrier.
"IRIS give me an update on the spell breaker! NOW!" Maverick ordered his computer.
'I still can't break the spell without a crystal shard.' IRIS stated.
"Then use an alternative energy! With this god damn barrier in the way we can't save her!" Maverick suggested but there was no point.
"I can!" Eric called out to them as he rowed up to the Guardians on a rowboat.
"You're sure about this?" Kairi asked Eric if he was willing to swim down and help her.
"Yes. I've lost her once. I'm not gonna lose her again." Eric stood up on the rowboat and declared.
The Guardian's looked at each other and nodded to Eric.
"Be careful. Ursula is not a pushover." Sora cautioned Eric.
"Doesn't matter. She can be a God for all I care" Eric said, a determined look on his face. "I will not let that monster hurt her."
"Then you better get going Captain Nemo." Maverick insisted that Eric gets going. "If anything happens we got you covered."
"I know you do." Eric said, giving the Maverick a knowing smile. "Just like how you had my back when I lost my parents."
Maverick's eyes widened. At the realization that Eric remembers now. Before Eric dove into the water.
"Did he just pull a Kisha Cole on me?" Maverick inquired.
"A what?" Donald inquired.
"He remembers what happened." Blaze realized.
Yep. Eric remembers what Maverick did for him all those years ago. And he remembers what happened to his parents.
Back below the waters...
As Ariel was losing her form as a free soul. Becoming small frail and skinny looking fearfully at her father, she was slowly turning into a polyp. She was running out of time and her father needed to make a move.
"Now. Do we have a deal?" Ursula inquired with a sinister smirk as she held the contract up to King Triton.
Out of love for his daughter. Being helpless and willing to sacrifice his leadership and freedom. The king of the ocean turned his head away as he used his trion to shoot out a beam and place his own name on the contract. Instead of Ariel's name.
Sealing the deal.
"HA HA! IT IS DONE!" Ursula exclaimed as she laughed.
Then Triton was shifted into a polyp instead of Ariel. And Ariel's form was restored. No longer owned by Ursula's deal.
But with Triton taking the fall much to her horror and guilt. "Daddy!?" She gasped.
Flounder and Sebastian came in and gasped at the sight of King Triton as an owned soul.
"Oh Your Majesty." Sebastian said sadly as he was helpless to do anything. They all were.
"Daddy?" Ariel breathed in dismay at the sight of her father taking her place.
"At last." Ursula picks up Triton's crown and places it on top of her own head and picks up the triton. She laughed evilly. "It's mine...Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Haaaah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Ariel felt rage build up inside of her as she glared hard at Ursula and grit her teeth.
"You...YOU MONSTER!" Ariel launched at Ursula and grabbed her from the back of the neck.
Ursula flung her off and tossed her down on the floor.
"Don't fool with me you little brat!" Ursula exclaimed as she glared and pointed the triton at Ariel ready to end her. "Contract or no contact- Gah!"
Then she grunt in pain as something was flung by and cut Ursula's forearm. Then they both looked up to see that it was Eric who tossed a harpoon at Ursula while he floated underwater and held his breath while glaring at the sea witch.
"Eric!" Ariel cried out.
"Why you little troll!" Ursula raged.
"Eric looked out!" Ariel yelled.
"After him!" Flotsam and Jetsam.
"I don't think so!" They heard Blaze voice as a blast of lightning vaporized Flotsam and Jetsam into bits of ashes.
Ursula gasped "My babies!" She whimpered as she held on the ashes of her eels. Then Ursula glared up to see the Guardians in their armored forms.
The evil Sea Witch tries to avenge her pets by summoning swift currents filled with blue sharks that seemed possessed. Oh wait, they are!
"Sharks? Come on Adele, be original." Maverick scoffed
Then he formed ice sharks with mini guns built on their heads. Then they had the ice sharks clash with Ursula's sharks. Surely enough despite Ursula's control over the predators of the ocean. Maverick's sharks won.
"Spike. You're up." Maverick nodded to Sora.
Sora nodded and swam swiftly as he dodged the sharks before facing off what looks like Heartless Squidmen.
Sora slashed at them quickly. Taking three of them out before he blocked the last one fired an ink laser at Sora. But he blocked it with his keyblade. Then he fired a thunder spell. Taking it out.
"You're turn Kairi!" Sora called for Kairi as she acknowledged and rushed into Ursula.
Kairi holds her keyblade up and uses her pure heart to flash a light that blinded the Sea Witch, Ursula grunts as her face was knocked with the bud end of Kairi's keyblade. The Sea Witch raged as she tried to swing the triton at Kairi, but could not touch as she swiftly swam away from her reach. Then Kairi swam in for a forward thrust to Ursula's torso. Ursula evaded Kairi's thrust attack and turned. But she was stopped to see Blaze standing in front of her.
"Peekaboo bitch." Blaze smirked before she gave an electric sucker punch to Ursula's jaw.
"Agh!" Ursula was sent flying into a wall.
"Way ta go Lass!" Sebastian rooted for Blaze.
"You got her!" Flounder cheered as well.
"Let's not cheer yet. She doesn't stay down that easy." Sora warned them.
"He's right. Let's be ready." Donald agreed.
"I'll get you out of here Your Majesty." Goofy picked up King Triton as a polyp and swam him out of there.
"Alright, here we- where's Salami Queen?!" Maverick asked as he scans the ocean while Ariel brings Eric to the surface.
The ground began to shake like a massive earthquake as the sea floor split open from where Ursula crashed through the wall. Then a loud deep laugh emitted. "HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
Ursula rose up from the ground as a giant and stood above the ocean with a wrathful like hurricane, red and blue lightning flickering through the sky. Her roars were gales of harsh wind that threatened to blow away anything in her way.
The team rose out of the water and stared at Ursula in shock as she stood as a giant and laughed among the chaotic waves of the ocean.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!" Giant Ursula laughed in a deep voice.
"Well shit. We were fighting her as a late bloomer." Maverick quipped seeing her.
"Pitiful insignificant fools!" Giant Ursula mocked looking down at the Guardians.
"Hey watch what you say about Spike! He's not Insignificant!" Maverick snapped with a quipping tone which made Sora scowl at his friend.
He left the other names he's not.
"You're too late! Now the seas! THE ENTIRE OCEAN BOWS TO MY WILL!" Ursula roared joyfully as she held the triton up in her arms.
Sora shook his head, "I've dealt with her before but she was a beginner with the trident before this. Let's see if she learns any new tricks." He suggested.
Maverick smirks as he quips. "Welp, time for some sea bitch sushi!"
Maverick took off flying in the air as Blaze flew with him. Sora and Kairi rode the tidal waves like surfboards as the team circled around Giant Ursula.
Eric and Ariel swam away to safety on a row boat while the team took Ursula's attention. Donald and Goofy were helping them while Baby Groot was inside Goofy''s coat pocket.
"I hope you got some extra firepower with your ego!" Blaze said to her boyfriend.
"No thanks. Our Aunt and Uncle's got that covered." Maverick stated as they dodged lightning attacks from Ursula.
Suddenly the Starburst gummi ship came flying in from the sky as it fired photon torpedoes at the giant sea witch.
*Boom! Boom!*
"Whooooohoooo! Do a barrel roll!" Anna cheered thrillingly on the comms channel for everyone including Maverick to hear.
"Ahhhh!" Ursula screamed in painful anger as she growled and tried to slash at the ship while it spun around her.
"See? This is what happens, when you let Aunt Anna spend too much time on your video games." Blaze mused as they hovered and watched her.
"I heard that!" Anna responded on the comms.
"You'd be surprised how many Battlefront II players become gummi ship pilots." Maverick said with pride.
"That and you attached a Playstation controller to the ship as a secondary steering wheel." Blaze crossed her arms giving Maverick a one eyebrow look.
"Guilty." Maverick quipped before he called his Aunt. "I wouldn't take all the attention if I were you."
"No worries! I invited my snowball buddies." Anna smirked while flying the ship over Ursula and dropping fusion bombs on her.
Ursula projected a shield around herself to block the falling bombs. She grimaced and was about to attack again before she felt a ice beam blast her from behind, making Ursula stagger.
"Aaah! Why you!" Ursula turned around only to get blasted in the eye with a laser shot." Ahh!" She yelled in pain as she covered her own eye.
The Guardians turned and their eyes widened to see who was attacking Ursula now. It was Queen Elsa in her ice armor. And J'son in his Mister Knife outfit. Elsa was stationed in the air via an ice rail while J'son hovered next to her using his jet boots.
"Sheesh. When did Squidward decide to become a drag Thanos?" J'son quipped at Ursula's appearance.
"Focus Dear. Let's take this purple people eater down." Elsa smirked as they went into the fight together.
Elsa ice railed around Ursula to distract her while J'son planted a shock grenade back her back. Ursula felt it and quickly tossed it away as Ursula laughed. They may have hurt her. But they didn't damage her.
"Foolish little creatures!" Ursula gave a sickening smile. "You think I would not be prepared for a fight? You Got friends in high places Sora! I've brought mine!"
Ursula gestured as the sky began to thunder. Maverick and Blaze hovered up next to Elsa and J'son as they looked up to the sky. Sora and Kairi were still using their freeflow abilities to land an emerged ship and landed on it to look up as well.
"Aiden? Is that?" Elsa's eyes widened as she could feel who that was.
"Yep. And he wants to play some more." Maverick nodded.
Stormur himself came flying out of the sky in flashes of lightning. This was the first time Maverick's family was seeing him in person.
Stormur snapped his fingers as a new breed of Nobodies appeared in bursts of grey static lighting of void energy. Their heads lean forward, covered by fanged masks that have their symbol on them and standing between their shoulder blades that spike up. But their obvious feature is that they have a flickering aura about them, unable to stay in one place for long and their claws look sharp and carry bolts of electricity in them.
"HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!" Ursula roared a laugh as the several of the Nobodies circled around her to take the fire from the gummi ship Anna was flying.
"Those creeps are blocking my shots!" Anna groaned.
"Anna stand down. We can handle this." Elsa spoke to her with her earpiece.
"What but- Ugh! Fine….." Anna groaned as she flew the ship away and left Elsa, J'son and the Guardians to handle the fight .
Soon Maverick flew up and collided with Stormur as their keyblades Elsa and J'son rushed in to help Maverick fight Stormur. Ursula held her up the triton and caused the waves around the ocean to form water mountains around her. While she laughed at how much she could control the ocean.
The Spectre Wraith Nobodies flew in groups around the water mountains as Kairi and Sora rushed in with their freeflow abilities to run across the water mountains and attack the Nobodies.
Sora and Kairi are fighting back to back as the Wraiths proved to be dangerous due to the run and run surprise attacks but Kairi discovered that they can't handle a flash of light that stuns them. Wasting no time, she hits them before they recover while Sora covers her.
Kairi slashed with her freeflow energy to stun three of them. Then Sora came sliding under Kairi to deliver a triple flip slash at the Nobodies. Taking them down only to have five more warp in front of them. But Sora blocks with his keyblade and uses a thunder spell. "Thunder!" Sora shocks all five for Kairi to perform a spinning slash attack.
Kairi slashes them down but more kept coming which was okay because Donald and Goofy came running up to join the fight after they helped Ariel and Eric get to safety.
Donald and Goofy tried attacking but their attacks went right through the Nobodies
"Why won't they die!?" Donald raged.
"Gee Donald. I've never seen you this serious." Goofy winced at the duck's harsh words towards the Nobodies. While Goofy blocked an attack with his shield.
"They're Nobodies." Donald deadpanned before he shocked them with a magnet spell.
"They have Hacks!" Blaze explained further as she played a game of whack a mole with the wraiths using a flaming hammer.
With very little success as these Nobodies were very cheeky. Because one of them pied Donald in the face before hitting him.
"Waak!" Donald fell off the water mountain.
"Donald!" Goofy ran down and caught him. "Got ya!...Huh?"
Only for them both looked down to see that they were falling down the water together, where Ursula summoned an army of sharks down below to eat them. Donald and Goofy both held each other and screamed.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAK!" Donald screamed.
"YAAAH-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOOEY!" Goofy screamed as well.
But before they fell into the water. the gummi ship flew in as Kristoff caught them both with his strong arms from the entrance. Donald and Goofy came into the ship safely thanks to Anna's flying and Kristoff's assistance.
"Whew!" Donald hunched on the ship floor in relief.
"Thanks." Goofy sighed.
"Don't mention it." Kristoff smiled.
"Glad I'm still being useful." Anna mused as she flew the ship away from the fight to get their friends to safety.
Meanwhile back with the fight between Maverick and Stormur. Elsa and J'son had trouble getting close to their fight due to lightning strikes everywhere. They both had to keep dodging otherwise.
While Blaze was busy slashing at Ursula trying to find a weak spot.
Soon Maverick had enough as he headbutted Stormur in the face. Knocked him five times with a swing of his keyblades. Then Maverick shot a beam of neon to impact Stormur and send him hurling down in the water.
Thus stopping the lightning storm as Maverick landed on one of the water mountains and Elsa and J'son came over to check if he's alright.
"Are you alright son?" J'son asked out of concern.
"I'm fine, but where's Storm-a-lot?" Maverick replied.
Suddenly an aquatic six limbed dragonoid leapt from the ocean and roared to rumbling heavens. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
"Ah COME! ON! WE JUST DID A KAIJU DEATH BATTLE TWENTY MINUTES AGO!" Maverick bellowed in annoyance up at the monster.
"REEEEEEEEEEIIIIIICK!" The Stormur dragonoid known as Twilight Drake roared back in response.
While J'son and Elsa looked up startled by the roar but stood ready to fight. Maverick rolled his eyes and hung his head back looking annoyed.
"Ugh! Fine!" Maverick groaned and turned around. "Maximum effort."
Then Maverick ran for the edge of the water mountain and jumped off. Then he smashed his frosted fists together before he began to shift slowly in a flash of bright neons. He turned back into the large giant Gorilla known as Ice Ape. The monster that brought down the Storm Hawk earlier.
Then as Ice ape stood against Twilight Drake. The Ice ape pounded his chest and roared furiously at his enemy.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Ice Ape roared.
"Oh my God! My nephew just became King Kong!" Anna exclaimed, wide eyed at the sight.
"How did he manage to do that?" Elsa asked, astonished by her son's transformation.
"I knew our son was powerful. But this is….." J'son said before smirking. "He definitely never fails to amaze and astonish. Even though this has certainly gone bananas..."
Elsa could only give her husband a 'really?' one eyebrow look.
"What?" J'son inquired.
The ice queen slugged his shoulder before getting back into the fight and she fired large ice balls at the enemy.
Twilight Drake blocked the giant ice ball attacks from Elsa as he turned to Ursula
"If you want these heroes to hurt. Kill the ones around them." Twilight Drake remarked in a deep voice.
The monster pointed down at the rowboat Eric had Ariel on. They were trying to get away from the fight but the intense tidal waves were making it difficult. They could get half way away from the enemies.
"Excellent idea." Giant Ursula chuckled as she gave a sinister look and sunk into the water. Disappearing from the fight.
"Woah!" Sora saw her sink down as he and Kairi finished off a bunch of the Nobodies.
"Where did she go?!" Kairi looked around.
Twilight Drake and Ice Ape are trading punches and snarls in some kind of macho face off with each other while Stormur ignores the chills and shock that he is receiving from Maverick's parents. Twilight Drake breathes a shocking breath of void energy.
While Ice Ape blocked the blast with his arm and growled in pain from how it burned. Then Ice Ape formed a giant club of neon and used it to smash Twilight Drake's head several times. The Dragon growls as he rubs his head before judo throws the ape which landed on his feet.
As Ice Ape stood back up Twilight Drake growled as he was about to charge at him again. But then the giant Stormur monster felt chains lock on to four of his limbs and gets pulled back. It growled as he looked to see Elsa using chains of ice to hold it back.
"I'm not letting you touch my son, monster!" Elsa yelled as she used her powers to hold the chains in.
Then J'son came in and placed Fusion grenades on Twilight Drake's open wounds on his torso. J'son hovered up and smirked.
"Tick tick boom." J'son quipped before the grenades went off.
*BOOOOM!*
The damage was not effective as the burns from the grenades catalyzed the open wound. But the burn scab fell to the ground, showing that the wound healed. Though it took some of Twilight Drake's stamina as his movement went slower.
The damage was not effective as the burns from the grenades catalyzed the open wound. But the burn scab fell to the ground, showing that the wound healed. Though it took some of Twilight Drake's stamina as his movement went slower.
Meanwhile Eric was trying to row away from the battle as far as possible. Getting Ariel to safety was all that mattered.
But then Ariel and Eric felt the boat rock as she looked worried down at the waters. Soon the boat tilted them over and they both fell into the water. Eric re emerged with Ariel and he held onto her tight in a protective grip.
"Eric you got to get away from here!" Ariel pleaded.
"No I won't leave you!" Eric denied the idea of running to leave her behind.
Then Giant Ursula rose up laughing from behind them as she smirked down at the two of them.
"Going somewhere kiddies?!" Ursula mocked.
Then the sea witch rose the triton up and caused the waves to swirl and form a typhoon like tornado. Ariel fell into the middle of it screaming for her life while Eric was flung out. But then suddenly Blaze came flying in as she caught Eric and landed him on one of the sunk ships that rose up in the chaos. Blaze looked at the broken bowsprit of the ship pointing like at the end of a weapon.
A weapon sharp enough to stab a giant egotistical Sea Witch.
Blaze smirked as she looked at Eric who stood up and gave her his full attention.
"Ready to make her scream?" Blaze asked with a devious smirk.
Meanwhile Ariel was stuck down onto the sea floor as Giant Ursula stood high and blasted shots from the triton at her.
Ariel avoided much of the shots by pushing herself out of the way. But the rest of the floor became hot as this next shot was going to kill her while she was cornered.
Eric was sailing the ship with a hard glare. While the bowsprit at the end was covered with lightning from Blaze's abilities and a few neon bombs from Maverick's weapons stash.
With Eric at the wheel, he began to steer the ship through the whirlpool and raging storm as Ursula was distracted with her sinister smile and crazy eyes, gazing down at defenceless Ariel.
"So much, for true love!" Ursula roared as she brandished the trident in her hand, ready to strike Ariel down, the poor girl looking on with growing fear in her widening eyes.
Eric, seeing what Ursula was about to do, turned the wheel with all his might, a determined look on his face, and turned the ship towards Ursula, the sharpened and enchanted bowstrip pointing right at the sea which. Ursula, sensing the enchantments, turned to see the incoming ship and bowstrip, her eyes widened at the sight. But she noticed too late as the bowstrip impaled her and went right through her chest and out her back.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Ursula screamed the enchantments on the bowstrip took effect, inflicting more damage to her already fatal wound.
The electrifying energy of the darkness within Ursula was taking a huge effect as Sora, Kairi and the other Guardians except for Maverick came over to see what was happening as the Sea witch slowly sunk into the ocean. The storms roared as they echoed her death cries. Smoke and shadow emerged from her decaying body as she sinks into the deep.
Ariel saw the water rising around her as she swam over to Eric. Just as his ship was sinking.
Elsa came in and formed an Ice ship in the side of a schooner and it came over as she smiled down at them.
"Need a lift?" Elsa asked them as the other Guardians came on board the ice schooner.
And Elsa held her hand out for Eric and Ariel. Eric took her hand while he held on to Ariel. And they brought them both on board.
"Thank you." Ariel said to Elsa with sweet relief.
"You're very welcome." Elsa nodded to her.
Anna and Kristoff arrived there on the ice schooner after being beamed down to the others, while Sven and Olaf remained on the gummi ship with Adina.
Sora shifted out of his armor while Kairi did the same. Even Blaze shifted back into Victoria while they all looked down to where Ursula sank.
"It won't keep her down forever. She'll just use the darkness in her heart and the magic she possesses to rise back up." Sora stated looking down.
Victoria smirked and cleared her throat while holding a detonation switch in her hand.
"Au contraire Sora." Victoria scoffed as she pressed the button.
And then.
*KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
A mushroom emerged from the water as the neon grenades vaporized what was left of Ursula. Now with the corpse gone. The sea witch will never again rise to take the souls of land and sea, ever again. Much to the shock of the team watching.
"You were saying?" Kairi teased with a smirk matching Victoria.
Since Kairi helped in finding those bombs and giving it to Victoria to help take down Ursula Once and for all. She gets to gloat.
"Nevermind. What do I know?" Sora said, throwing his arms up in exasperation, making Kairi giggle at his antics.
"Wait. Where's Aiden?" Ariel asked.
"Who's Aiden?" Eric asked, looking confused.
Suddenly they see Twilight Drake falling out of the sky as he landed near a deserted island. And Ice Ape lands on top of him.
Ice ape roars. "RAAAAAAACGH!" As he pounds Twilight Drake into submission with his fists.
Twilight Drake tried clawing at him with two of his arms. But Ice Ape grabbed them and snapped them out of place making Twilight Drake growl in pain. "REEECK!"
Then Ice Ape punched the Stormur sea dragon several times in the face severely before Ice ape slammed his foot on top of him. Making Twilight Drake stay down.
They glare at each other. With long stares as Ice Ape was looking to see if his enemy had any more fight left in him.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" Ice Ape lets out a loud vicious roar in Twilight Drake's face.
But Twilight Drake roars back. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!"
Both creatures roar at each other even though Twilight Drake is defeated, his roar only shows that Maverick may have won yet another battle. But the war is not over yet.
Aiden's family and the Guardians stood on the schooner with Ariel and Eric as they saw the whole thing.
"That... Was... AWESOME!" Anna exclaimed, jumping up and down. "That is just how a fight between King Kong and Godzilla should end!"
Elsa smiled, seeing her son come out victorious.
"That's my little Spark." Elsa smiled, holding her hand to her chest.
Then Ice Ape nods in satisfaction before he turned away and allowed Twilight Drake to lay there in the sand. Before anything else was said and done.
Twilight Drake shrunk back into Stormur and the Ice Ape looked back to see an unconscious Stormur sink into a dark portal that took him away out of that world.
Maverick figured that he was sent back to the Nobody realm of where he came from.
Then Ice Ape jumped into the air heading towards their schooner. and as he was in the air. He shifted back into Maverick who landed on the ship. And he shifted again back into Aiden.
Aiden looked exhausted and bumped up. Like a dude who got back from the gym feeling thrilled.
"Saw that folks? That! Is how you kick Zilla's ass." Aiden quipped before he looked back at the island and yelled. "Suck it Matthew Broderick!"
"Little overkill wouldn't you say?" Victoria remarked with a raised eyebrow.
"Sorry babe. I get out of bed in the morning after dreaming about sticking it to Boyz n the Hood. But I can never find a flame or poll long enough to do until now." Aiden quipped making some of them chuckle.
"Uh..." Sora wondered what that adult comment was.
"Don't ask." Victoria grinned.
"What do you think, Queen? Wasn't that overkill?" Aiden asked Elsa.
"A little. Yes." Elsa smiled.
"Crap." Aiden muttered.
"But the right kind." Elsa mused.
"Is there a wrong kind?" Aiden inquired.
"Wait until you fit my shoes to find out kiddo." J'son patted his back.
"So listen. We all know that Aiden kicked ass. But did you guys see my piloting skills?" Anna said, smirking as she bragged. I totally rocked it up there!"
"Only because I gave you a game controller to use as a steering wheel Suzy Lu." Aiden quipped.
"That sounds about right." Elsa said while smirking, making Anna stick her tongue out at the two.
"So did Aunt Anna inform you on everything that was going on here? About the mermaids and everything?" Victoria asked Elsa and J'son.
"With the amount of times she kept repeating the word 'Mermaid', I thought it could be used as a drinking game." J'son quipped. "Every time she said Mermaid, you'd take a shot."
"If anyone ever did that, they would be dead." Elsa said jokingly as well.
Anna scoffed in offense. "I'm standing right here!" She held her arms out.
"We know." Elsa and J'son smirked saying at the same time. Which made Anna huff and pout.
"Guys. Look." Sora suggested as they all turned to look at the sight of Eric talking to Ariel who dove back into the water.
Eric was still kinda shocked to find out she was a mermaid.
"You see, Eric..." Ariel began before looking up to him. "This is why I went to Ursula."
"I….Had no idea." Eric muttered, the reality of everything finally kicking in now that he had time to think properly.
"I would have told you sooner..." Ariel said, a tad nervous now about what he will think.
"To think..." Eric said, holding his chin in thought.
"Eric... Goodbye." Ariel said with tears in her eyes as she turned around to leave.
"I had all that time and I didn't work on my swimming." Eric said, making Ariel gasp and turn back around in time to see Eric diving into the water.
Ariel's eyes widened in surprise as Eric swam to her until they were face to face with each other.
"Well, I guess it's never too late to learn, right?" Eric said, smiling at Ariel. "Will you teach me?"
Ariel smiled at this and a few happy tears fell from her eyes.
"I'd love to." Ariel beamed, before the two embraced in a warm hug.
The others, who were watching them from the ship, smiled at the sight.
"All right!" Sora pumped his fist in the air joyfully.
"I'm so happy for them." Kairi said while clasping her hands together with tears of joy forming in her eyes.
"Victory for the matchmaking queen." Anna smirked as she was glad to see them finally together.
"Oh there's more inside the package. Look." Aiden pointed to the water as he had a warm smile on his face.
Aiden's family and the Guardians looked out at the water to see all of the lost souls that were owned by Ursula and were originally turned into polyps. They were all now turned back into mermaids and were all cheering that they were now out of the hands of the sea witch.
Elsa and Anna smiled gleefully to see those mermaids flipping out of the water joyfully and cheering that they were no longer lost souls. But now they were free.
"All of the souls that were owned by Ursula?" Goofy figured.
"Without her there's no one to keep them in chains?" Donald realized.
"Did we really just do that?" Kairi asked while looking surprised in a good way.
"I believe we did." Sora nodded with a smile.
That wasn't all. Apparently King Triton was back as well. And he had his royal scepter returned. The triton that was taken was now restored to him.
King Triton held it in his hands as he watched from a distance. Looking with sad eyes as he watched Ariel and Eric embrace. He realized how much of a good man Eric was when he saw him safe his daughter underwater.
Sebastian was right next to the king watching as well.
"She really does love him. Doesn't she Sebastian?" King Triton said with a tender voice.
Sebastian nodded as he spoke from his own experience. "Well. It's like I always say Your Majesty. Children got to be free to lead der own lives." He stated.
"You always say that?" King Triton inquired looking at him.
Sebastian chuckled nervously and shrugged.
Then the King sighed and looked back at Ariel. "Then I guess there's just one problem left." He says.
"And what's dat Your Majesty?" Sebastian asked curiously.
"How much I am going to miss her." King Triton says sadly.
Sebastian looked at him with a surprised look. King Triton actually finally approves of them. What brought this on he wondered.
King Triton heard a voice.
"They're's actually a way to remedy that." Sora said which surprised them as they turned to see him and Aiden standing behind him while on top of an ice platform.
"Oh! Hello there boys. How...Long were you standing there?" King Triton asked in amusement.
"Long enough." Aiden shrugged.
"You don't have to say goodbye Your Majesty." Sora stated with a smile.
King Triton took a deep breath and looked at them.
"I know what you're both going to say. But...From a century of horrors. Mankind made a world where standing together is impossible." King Triton stated before looking at Ariel and Eric. "Unless they are those rare exceptions."
"That's just it, Your Majesty. Humans are still good. But our flaws don't just affect the ocean." Sora stated.
"We fight. We kill. We betray. We screw up and get screwed. But that doesn't mean we lost our purpose. Like all worlds." Aiden spoke in support of what Sora was saying.
"You and the others around you, belong from the same world. The world that gave birth to the mermaids and humans. Therefore it's long overdue for you to rebuild. If we can do better for our worlds. You're not an exception. It's owed to you as well. You're entitled to not be limited to the waters. Because the sky belongs to you as well." Sora spoke in such wisdom that's rare for him.
"I'm a living breathing. Fricked up but effective example. That two worlds can be together." Aiden pointed out the fact that his birth parents were of two different species.
"You're in a better position, because land and sea are under the same sky. And they share one Destiny. The destiny that one day. The worlds will be United again. But you can make it today. Ariel believes that. She chose to not live with the limitations. It's the choices that bring us to the light. And we can always choose, to be free." Sora smiled.
"As cheesy as dat all sounded. Dey are right, Your Majesty." Sebastian smiled at the king. "What do ya say?"
King Triton thought about what they said to him very thoroughly. This was a decision that he never thought he would ever consider making. But in the end, he realized what his choice would be.
"Perhaps you're right, both of you." Triton stated, looking at them with a small smile. "Maybe I should take a page from Ariel's book and be more open to the idea. Of course I will have to discuss things with Ariel first, before making any final decisions."
"Now you're talking." Sora said with an encouraging smile while Aiden smirked.
"Oh and before I forget." Triton started as he smiled at the two of them. "Consider your banishment revoked. You and your friends and family, are all welcome back into Atlantica."
Sora and Aiden's eyes lit up to this. But Aiden's humorous side felt the need to
"You're sure about that? Ursula may have kicked the bucket but I think you'll wake up a whole new beast under water." Aiden gestured his hyperactive Aunt Anna who was on the ice schooner giggling and waving at the passing mermaids with enthusiasm.
King Triton smiled. "The sea is able to withstand any threat. You've shown me that very well. Including family visits." He amused before he sunk back into the ocean to set things on the right path in Atlantica.
"You know whenever I have to give a sappy but true speech without more than two quips. I feel dirty." Aiden grimaced a little.
"You'll get used to it. Even though it was kinda my first time talking like that." Sora remarked.
Then they looked back at everyone on the ship.
"Only a few more things left to do." Sora smirked.
"Hell yeah." Aiden agreed as he had his own idea in mind.
That morning down in the Atlantica Undersea Courtyard...
Sora, Donald and Goofy popped back up underwater as they were back in their ocean forms. Including Kairi, Aiden, Victoria and Baby Groot. Their mermaid forms were restored, including Goofy's sea turtle form and Donald's octopus form.
Then they smiled and looked up to see Aiden's family coming in from the gummi ship's teleporter as well.
Elsa showed up with an ice blue seashell bra and a matching mermaid tail with snowflakes patterned on it. She smiled looking around the ocean. But she gasped at what she was only wearing and covered herself while blushing.
Anna showed up with a green seashell bra and a matching green mermaid tail. Giggling and squealing as she swam around with a burst of thrill
J'son showed up shirtless with a black merman's tail. Floating around and admiring how amazing the ocean looks.
Kristoff showed up with a yellow merman's tail as he was a little more blown away by the sights.
Olaf showed up with his legs morphed into a merman's tail made of snow. As the mere-snow-man swam over to smell the coral with his carrot nose.
Sven came down in the form of a tiny seahorse as he joyfully swam around.
Finally little Adina came down with a dark red swimming top and a matching mermaids tail. As the toddler giggled and spun around admiring her mermaid form.
The whole family was there. Except for the babies as they were being watched by Gerda back home. Their mother's agreed that they were too young for the water.
But that didn't stop Anna's thrill for finally becoming a mermaid in a mermaid kingdom.
"Oh my God! We're all Mermaids!" Anna squealed as she was spinning in place. "I can finally check off being a Mermaid on my bucket list."
"Any other day, I would just ask why you would have that on your bucket list. But I feel just as excited as you sweetie." Kristoff said to his wife.
"It's amazing. But..." Elsa stated before blushing slightly. "Is a small seashell top really all us girls have to wear?"
"What's wrong with that?" J'son asked while smirking and looking his wife up and down. "I think that look really suits you."
"Oh my God. Now I know where he gets it from!" Victoria groaned facepalming at seeing J'son act just like her boyfriend would.
"Everything has its origins babe." Aiden flirted before swimming over to his mother. "No need to be shy. It's common around here. It is the ocean after all."
"Yes well. I'm not really from the ocean now am I?" Elsa mused as she felt less shy.
"What? You can't stand the wet heat?" J'son inquired humorously."We had a baby after all."
"J'son! Not in front of the kids!" Elsa scolded.
"Hey everyone!" Ariel greeted all of them as she swam over with Flounder and Sebastian in tow.
"Hey there!" Kairi waved at her.
"How did it your father?" Sora smiled as Kairi and Ariel hugged.
"It went absolutely wonderful. And I have all of you to thank for it." Ariel said to her and she hugged the rest of the team.
"Technically some of us showed up at the last second." Kristoff said out of the bat until he shut up seeing his wife's dirty look. "But...I digress."
"And it's truly a delight to have you here as well Queen Elsa. Aiden told me everything about that wonderful story of yours." Ariel greeted Elsa with a hug of her own.
Elsa felt surprised by the hug as Aiden mouthed an explanation to her. 'It's how they greet underwater.'
Elsa gave a nervous smile before returning the hug.
"Well I'm happy to be as well." Elsa said before ending the hug and smiled. "And please, call me Elsa."
Ariel giggled and nodded "Okay Elsa. And it's nice to have you here as well Anna." she said before hugging Anna, who returned it with just as much enthusiasm.
"I'm hugging a Mermaid! I'm hugging a Mermaid!" Anna quietly squealed in joy. But her hug was much more stronger as Ariel winced a bit. It seems Anna still gives the stronger hugs.
"Okay Anna. Mermaids have to breathe water." Elsa eased her sister softly.
"Oops. Sorry Sweetie." Anna meekly as she let's Ariel go.
"It's fine. Nothing can ruin what I'm feeling right now. Daddy has issued the start of a treaty between land and sea." Ariel stated happily to all of them.
"Which means Ariel can live up in the castle with Eric, and she can swim back down here any time she wants." Flounder joyfully stated.
"Also I am bout to deliver a musical extravaganza upon the service to seal da deal. With da Guardians as da lead singers." Sebastian announced.
"Donald can sing?" Sven asked through Kristoff.
"No that's why we keep him in the back." Sora whispered.
"I heard that!" Donald ranted.
"I bet you and Kairi can sing wonderfully." Anna gushed at the thought.
"Oh they definitely can." Ariel beamed with her hands clasped.
"Well technically we didn't until we discovered Fantasia." Kairi meekly said.
"Fantasia? What's that?" Ariel asked while the others in Aiden's family looked curious.
"It's a mystical force that's based on dozens of different worlds. It's what causes all of us to sing and dance like the cast of Wicked." Victoria explained.
"Huh...That...would explain why I started singing after visiting Wonderland." J'son figured.
"You've been to Wonderland?" Sora asked.
"Son, I've been to many different screwed up places before running into Tori here." J'son answered with a shudder. "Don't get me started with that worm smoking the blue steam."
"Right?" Aiden scoffed as he remembered running into the Caterpillar as well.
"Also whoever isn't connected to Fantasia won't notice people singing. Or the fact that they're singing as well." Goofy added to the fact.
"Which would explain the fact that everyone in the family would keep making comments about all of us singing. Despite the fact that we never noticed." Victoria stated the irony.
"I always thought you all were just making some weird Norwegian metaphors." Aiden shrugged before asking. "But point and facts. The Multiverse has its convoluted riddles."
"I am Groot?" Baby Groot asked Elsa. Translate: "Did you really sing while creating the Ice Palace on the North Mountain back home?"
"Yes I did." Elsa smiled. "And even though there were quite a few mixed emotions, I think that was the first time I ever truly allowed myself to Let go and sing."
"Noticed how she said 'let go' when the song she sang was called 'Let It Go'? Seems a bit redundant if you ask me." J'son joked with a smirk.
"Oh you're just as bad as Aiden." Elsa pouted cutely.
"I should hope, considering he's our son." J'son snipped back wholeheartedly.
"Ugh. Mom, Dad. Please no more sappy mushy compliments. I don't want to see what my spew looks like under water." Aiden faked a gag before quipping. "But seriously he's right. They should call you The Cold But Repetitive Queen."
Everyone laughed at that while Elsa faked a pout with her arms crossed.
Just then. Everyone's laughter stopped the moment the tip of Sora's keyblade began to light up which surprised him.
Then the tip of the Atlantica Palace began to glow.
Kairi smirked at Sora and chirped. "You're up Handsome."
"Notice she called him handsome." Goofy whispered and chuckled with Donald.
Sora blushed and groaned a little before he held his hands out.
Then the area around Sora began to ship in between dimensions, like he was standing over night clouds and thunderstorms. Sora held his keyblade forward as a light ray in the shape of a crown formed underneath him as the tip of the Atlantica Palace Stone shot a beam up above. Revealing a keyhole. Sora spins his keyblade and points at the keyhole, then a beam of light shot inside the keyhole. Then he heard the sound of a large gate unlocking as it shines brightly beyond belief. Then the area shifted back around Sora and he was standing with his friends again.
Aiden's entire family as well as Ariel and her friends looked amazed at the sight.
"Before you ask. Yeah. That's how it always looks." Victoria said to Anna with a grin.
"That was. The most amazing light show. I have ever seen!" Anna said with a big grin on her face. "It was even better than the light show Aiden did for my last birthday."
"You do realize you just issued a challenge" Aiden said sternly but smirking. "Well, challenge accepted."
"Sora? What was that?" Ariel asked curiously.
"A new pathway has opened for us." Sora smiled.
"Which means more worlds to see and more butt to kick." Kairi beamed as she held her fists up with a playful smirk.
"More weirdos to meet or beat." Victoria shrugged.
"Good times right?" Aiden quipped.
"Does this mean you're all leaving?" Flounder asked sadly.
"Not entirely. Last night while everyone recovered from the Battle of the Second Atlantic. I took the liberty of installing a space bridge destination to this space at my club back home." Aiden said to all of them.
Olaf had just come back from smelling the underwater plant life as he gasped hearing what Aiden just said.
"Does this mean what I think it means?" Olaf asked with a big smile.
"It does Olaf. You and everyone can come back to Atlantica anytime you want." Victoria smiled at the snowman who cheered and swam in circles.
"YES! WATER WATER WATER WATER WAT- Oh boy now I'm dizzy." Olaf moaned as he stopped spinning.
"This is great! Do you know what this means Kristoff?" Anna beamed holding her Husband's arm.
You'll be smelling like fish every evening?" Kristoff smirked teasingly which earned a smack on the arm that made him chuckle.
While everyone was busy talking Adina was busy playing and talking to the other fishes. Thanks to IRIS neural transfer plug in. Everyone was granted the knowledge of how to swim under water. And it will happen to them every time they become mermaids
"Mommy! Auntie Elsa! Come see the dolphins ! I made friends with their baby!" Adina beamed sounding just as excited and frantic as her mother.
Even though Anna was just as excited. She had to stay calm to put up a good impression for her daughter.
"That's wonderful Sweetie! Show us." Anna gave her a big smile before Adina took her hand and swam her over. With Elsa following next to her sister.
"You will at least stay long enough for da musical, right?" Sebastian asked Sora.
"Definitely." Sora smiled.
"Well that. And there is one more thing I need to do." Aiden said as he was thinking of someone he needed to talk to.
Back up on the surface….
Eric was wearing his princely attire as he. Grimsby and the entire kingdom waited at the harbor to meet with the mere people of Atlantica.
They all stood on the pier and boats and stood on the beach or on land as everyone had a good view from the harbor. The citizens of Eric's home heard of the treaty that was going to take place and mark their history with the ocean. And that they were witnesses to the battle against Ursula last night.
Just then. In a neon bubble. Ariel rose up from the water and stepped onto the pier and out of the bubble in her human form. Thanks to King Triton's magic that caused her to change. Ariel was wearing a purple dress that was similar to the last dress she wore during their dinner date.
She had a big smile on her face looking at Eric while he smiled at Ariel with a warm experience. Before he ran over and picked her up with a big embrace and spun her around which made her giggle. Then he lets Ariel stand as they smile at each other. Leaning slowly toward each other.
It could happen any moment now. But they were taking their time to brace for their first kiss.
"WILL YOU KISS ALREADY?!" Maverick exclaimed from the distance on top of their castle balcony. Before he bit his lips and added. "Sorry! I totally dunked and drowned a perfect moment there! My bad!"
Eric and Ariel laughed at Maverick's wit. Then Maverick teleported down to them and stepped onto the pier, before he shifted out of his armor and showed his true form as Aiden Elsenov. Surprising all of the citizens of the kingdom who were there including Grimsby.
"What were all expecting? Adam Driver and his baby size chin hair?" Aiden scoffed at their gasps of surprise.
"I gotta be honest. I had no idea you were younger than me when we first met." Eric said with a mildly surprised look.
"That was the idea Prince Finale." Aiden said before he shifted back into Maverick. "No one would've taken me serious back then if they knew I wasn't old enough to slice my own orange."
"I guess." Eric snickered before he looked at Maverick with a grateful look while Ariel wrapped her arms around holding Eric's right arm.
"I have only one question. How did you remember? Not even the Duke of Sussex could recover from my mind-wipe abilities. A prank reference, don't ask." Maverick stated with a curious expression while referencing one of his past pranks.
Eric looked down at his own hand which held his mother's pendant. Before looking back up at Maverick with a sad look of closure.
"Well. After I was freed from Ursula's spell. I remembered everything. Including some dreams I had the night before. But then I realized at that moment. Last night. Was a very long time ago." Eric said as he handed Maverick the pendant.
The armored keyblader looked down at it sadly before looking at Eric. The animated eyes on his mask indicated what Maverick was thinking. He was thinking about the fact that he couldn't save Eric's parents from a horrible death. And that this prince had to grow up without them in his life. But Maverick was feeling relieved that Eric doesn't hold anything against him. Not even when he erased his memories as a child.
"And I just wanted to say. Thank you, Aiden. For everything." Eric said sincerely as he was fighting back tears.
"It's what I do." Maverick nodded with a relieving tone. Before he looked at Ariel. "And Sea Breeze?"
"Yes?" Ariel perked up.
"You take care of this kiddo. And yourself alright?" Maverick smiled patted her arm. "Don't have me or Sora swan diving in the water to pull you out of another mortgage loan."
By that he meant another Sea Witch deal. Not that there is another one out there. Because there isn't one. Right?
Ariel giggled at the joke before smiling warmly.
"You don't have to worry about that Aiden. I won't make the same mistake again." Ariel said, snuggling closer to Eric. "We'll have each other to support."
"Good, because saving damsels from an IRS debt is way below our pay grade." Maverick quipped.
Just then the sound of a strong current made everyone turn to see King Triton emerge from the water, his face had a neutral expression. The Sea King made his way to the edge of the pier where Eric walked up to meet him after letting go of Ariel. The two stared at each other before they both smiled and shook hands with each other.
King Triton then raised his Trident to the air as it glowed.
"PEACE!" King Triton declared, launching a rainbow into the sky, making everyone cheer.
Even the mermaids and mermen of Triton's king arose from the water to cheer with the humans on shore.
"Huh. I was expecting a longer speech there." Maverick remarked looking at King Triton.
"No worries Maverick. There is a longer speech. And it's going to be sung on stage by you and your friends." King Triton smiled as he held his Triton up and caused the ocean to form a really large floating sea theme stage out on shore to float above the service. with a good distance from the harbor for everyone to see as Sebastian's musical finale was about to begin.
On stage were dolphins floating in bubbles including fish of every kind swimming around the stage along with Flounder. Crabs. Lobsters. Sea gulls who had Scuttle with them. Aiden's family was with the mermaids and mermen that were all positioned in the water around the stage. But Elsa was hiding for her cue. Except for Elsa due to the fact that they got plans for her during the song. And the Guardians were up there in their human forms.
Sebastian stood on the front podium like a musical maestro with a conducting stick ready to lead as he tapped to gain everyone's attention.
" My cue's is waved. To be continued Sea Breeze." Maverick winked before he teleported on to the very back of the stage.
Where the show started with musical and an orchestra beating the upbeat melodies. As Maverick shifted back into Aiden. He was in his human form this time as he stood wearing the vest and hat he wore in the last music show. As he posed with the rhythm starting.
He was the one to start the lyrics. But first he waited for the chorus.
"Woooooooooo-ahoooo-ooo-!~"
"Woooooooooo-ahoooo-ooo-!~"
"Woooooooooo-ahoooo-ooo-!~"
"Woooooooooo-ahoooo-ooo-!~"
Then the stage walkway shifted into two poles that looked too narrow to walk on. But not for Aiden.
Everyone on stage began to sing the chorus
"Woooooooooo-ahoooo-ooo-!~"
"Ladies and fish. This is moment you've waited for~" Aiden sang the in a low tone first line while he posed in the shadow effects.
"Woooooooooo-ahoooo-ooo-!~"
"Been searching in the dark. Your sweat soaking through the shore~" Aiden sang the next one after the chorus while making another pose.
"Woooooooooo-ahoooo-ooo-!~"
"And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore~ Taking your breath, stealing your mind~ And all that was real is left behiiiind!~" Aiden began walking more like jogging on the narrow polls with perfect precision and balance without using his flying abilities. And idea he himself came up with when he was discussing the show with Sebastian.
And as Aiden jogged across the poll. He flicked his finger from side to side causing a puff of neon smoke to spark up like a fire work show on the sides of the stage. Sparking before everyone's eyes as the sea creatures formed up behind him in floating water currents
"Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya~ It's only this moment, don't care what comes after~ Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer~ Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over~" Aiden sang as he kept the spectacle going as he came halfway across the stage. "It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open!~ It's a preacher in the pulpit and you'll find devotion!~ There's something breaking at the brick of every wall, it's holding!~ All that you know!~" Aiden sang.
Then while holding the last spark. He jumped off the polls and back flipped in the air before landing as the stage came back together with his team showing up behind him with the sea creatures as they began to dance and to tricks like a circus with Aiden landing in the center and relaxing the big neon spark like an explosion that eliminated the stage.
"So tell me do you wanna GO!~ Where it's covered in all the colored lights!~ Where the mermaids are running the night!~ Impossible comes true, it's taking over you!~" Aiden and his team sang as Sora danced and tossed Kairi in the air as she twirled sang in the air with the chorus.
"Oh, this is The Land And Sea!~" They all sing.
"We light it up, we won't come down!~" Aiden sang as Sebastian signaled the dolphins and seals to flip over the stage as the chorus sang the first line with Aiden as he sang the rest. "And the sun can't stop us now!~ Watching it come true, it's taking over you!~"
"Oh, This is The Land And Sea!~" They all sang.
Then Aiden slides back for Sora to take the lead as he jogged all the back back which the mermaids rising on mini waterspouts and dancing in the air. Elsa. Anna and the rest of Aiden's family was with the mermaids and mermen. Except Adina was riding a dolphin giggling and watching the show as they rode around it.
Then Sora took the lead singing.
"Woooooooooo-ahoooo-ooo-!~"
"Colossal we come these renegades in the ring!~" Sora sang with joy and energy.
"Woooooooooo-ahoooo-ooo-!~"
"Where the lost get found in the crown of the ocean king!~" Sora kept singing as everyone jogged and sang with him with his voice in lead. "Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya!~ It's only this moment, don't care what comes after!~ It's blinding, outshining anything that you know!~"
Ariel's sisters was scene as they swam around the stage in floating water tunnels from King Triton's magic.
"Just surrender 'cause you're calling and you wanna GO!~ Where it's covered in all the colored lights!~ Where the mermaids are running the night!~ Impossible comes true, intoxicating you!~" Sora sang with the group as they all yelled. "Oh, This is The Land And Sea!~"
As the Guardians danced with the sea creatures and Aiden was forming the neon lights and using is ice powers to form orbs to project them brighter above the stage to look like something better then Disco balls and a certain keyblade's wilders ability to open a cosmic gateway.
Anna's eyes lit up at the sight as neon seashell patterns formed on the stage floor in large pairs.
Aiden. held up a sign that said 'Challenge obliterated!'. Much to Anna's amusement as she rolled her eyes and giggled. Because Aiden kept the promise he made earlier about putting on a better light show
Then Sora continues singing with the group.
"We light it up, we won't come down!~And the sun can't stop us now!~ Watching it come true, it's taking over you!~" Sora sang perfectly.
"Oh, This is The Land and Sea!~" They all sang.
Then Aiden jumped up and landed on a neon rail that was floating and spinning in circles like large glowing ribbons in the air as he slid and passed around the shore and ocean several times on the rail. Sliding it like a skateboard while he was singing.
"It's everything you ever waaant!~ It's everything you ever neeeed!~ And it's here right in front of yoooou!~ This is where you wanna beee~" Aiden sang while he pointed to Ariel who smiled and nodded in response.
"This is where you wanna be!~" The group echoed with Aiden's singing as they were agreeing with him.
"It's everything you ever waaant!~ It's everything you ever neeeed!~ And it's here right in front of yoooou!~ This is where you wanna beeeee!~" Aiden sang again.
Then Elsa appeared in a floating ice sea shell in her human form and signature ice dress, as she sang with her arms held out with ice flowing from her hands in patterns of sea shells in the wind.
"THIS IS WHERE YOU WANNA BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!~" Elsa sang loudly as she held the long note with her magnificent voice.
And as she held the note and harmonized. The singing group sang on with her.
"When it's covered in all the colored lights!~ Where the mermaids are running the night!~ Impossible comes true, it's taking over you!~ Oh!~" They sang with passion and power.
"THIS IS THE LAND AND SEA!~" Elsa sang passionately.
Then Aiden teleported over to Eric and Ariel and teleported them on stage which surprised Eric.
Then Aiden passed the leading hat to Eric who looked taken back a bit. And they spoke normally.
"Well. What are you waiting for?" Sora asked with a smile. "This is your song now."
Which worked in so many ways since this was Eric's new life. And his peace treaty. Eric smiled and received the hat before putting it on as Ariel smiled.
Then Ariel hugged each member of the Guardians starting with Kairi and Sora. They all returned the hug. Even Baby Groot. Before they smiled at her before each member beamed back up on the gummi ship.
With Sora and Aiden the last to go.
"Give it to them Kiddo." Aiden winked before he beamed up with the rest of the team.
They were back up on the ship. Aiden's family didn't have to worry about being stuck because they found where the space bridge back home was earlier. But none of them were in a hurry to leave. Including Anna.
"We light it up, we won't come dooown!~ And the sun can't stop us nooow!~ Watching it come true, it's taking over you!~" The group of singers sang with the song resuming.
Then Eric locked arms with Ariel as he sang out loud while jogging down the stage of dancing sea creatures.
"This is The Land And Seeeeeeea!~" Eric began to sing perfectly.
"When it's covered in all the colored lights!~ Where the mermaids are running the night~"
"Impossible comes true, it's taking over you!~" Eric sang with the group and Ariel.
"Oh, this is The Land And Sea!~" The group sang as Eric and Ariel danced with the music.
"We light it up, we won't come down!~ And the walls can't stop us noooow!~ I'm watching it come true, it's taking over you!~" Eric sang with the group as King Triton who was standing by smiled as he formed a walk way of a water way that picked Ariel and Eric up as they rode together.
"Oh, this is The Land And Sea!~" They all sang.
Then Eric and Ariel sang together as they rode on the water wave around the stage.
"Cause everything you want is right in front of you!~ And you see the impossible is coming true!~ And the walls can't stop us Nooooow!~" Ariel and Eric sang together with love and assurance to each other. Feeling happy together.
"This is the Land and Sea!~ Oh!~ This is the Land and Sea!~ Oh!~ This is the Land and Sea!~ Oh!~ This is the Land and Sea!~ Oh!~" They all sang together. Not only the people in the ocean. But the ones on land as well as Ariel and Eric stood at the center of the stage.
Then the Starburst gummi ship could be seen as they flew over the stage. Then everyone waved at the Guardians of the Multiverse as they waved back at them. As everyone celebrate the unity Between Land and Sea. And that Ariel and Eric are now together.
"This is the Land and Sea!~ Oh!~"
"This is the Land and Sea!~ Oh!~"
"This is the land and Sea!~ Oh!~"
Sora and Aiden were more then ready to take on whatever was next. They change so much in this world. And they're ready to do it again for another.
Before the Guardians' ship look off. They took loop around the stage. To see Ariel and Eric look at each other and finally….
Ariel and Eric shared their first kiss on stage, causing everyone who wasn't singing to cheer for them.
"Finally!" Anna cheered and applauded for them while she was floating with the other cheering mermaids
With the finale of Ariel's happy ending secured. The gummi ship flew up to the sky and used the ship's smoke to sky write their teams logo in the sky. And on that note. The gummi ship warped off to their next world.
"This is the Land and SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA!~"
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS!
And let me say this is the closest we're ever going to get to the idea of Zendaya playing Ariel. But don't worry it's still Jodi Benson.
"Conundrum at it's best. Because it's obvious in the right way." Maverick remarked.
You got that from a fortune cookie didn't you?
"Nope. All up in the attic." Maverick gloated.
Yeah you definitely need to clean the attic.
Anyway. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Especially me including Aiden's family and Elsa in this chapter, including the final battle as well as the last song.
Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts on everything you've read here. Thank you all so much for reading. Look forward to the next chapter taking place in the world of the Lion King.
