Chapter 5: Square Against the Sirens

(In the skies above the island)

Ty was flying the Gunyip with Shantae riding in the only other seat as it flew towards the Siren's airship.

Shantae- When you said there wasn't enough seats, you didn't mention that there was only one other seat in this little fighter plane of yours.

Ty- How was I supposed to know Julius only finished installing one passenger seat to me Gunyip?

Shantae- Say, if you're the tech expert of the Super Mario Brothers' Team, why would you have Julius work on your machines instead of you?

Ty- Truth is I also had me job as the leader of Bush Rescue and have to prioritize protecting the civilians of Australia from foes like Boss Cass over anything. Not to mention, I have a wife and son to care for. There are some moments when I'm too busy to work on me Bunyips. So, Julius works on them in me stead sometimes. But I'm sure you and me can beat the Sirens on our own, shela.

Then the Gunyip manages to land on the airship.

(Inside the Siren's airship)

The Sirens were in the control room of the airship and most of them were astounded that the airship was fully restored. Also, the Empress Siren was now in her younger form now that she was wearing the tiara with the Eye of Merlin.

Coral Siren- I can't believe you made the ship return like it was never destroyed in the first place.

Empress Siren- Merlin the Great was known as the father of all magic. But there appears to be more than just a sample of his magic stored into this stone. It tastes like genie magic…yet…familiar. But we got my youth and power back. But for now, we'll head back to our island and reclaim our empire.

Tubeworm Siren- Sorry to intrude on the subject, but don't you think we should also focus on disposing of that half genie? It's obvious that she'll attempt to get in our way again.

Empress Siren- True. She and that Tasmanian tiger will most likely be on our tail in an attempt to take this Eye of Merlin back.

Suddenly, there was a loud banging on the door outside. But before the Sirens could react, Ty's Kaboomerangs blew the door to pieces.

Ty- A bit late for that. We're already here!

Shantae- And give back my mother's Eye of Merlin!

Ty- Hold on…that's supposed to be the same withering hag we saw earlier?!

Empress Siren- I see you've noticed I've regained my youth after I gained the magic from the Eye of Merlin. But now I think I'm starting to see why you've been such a pain, Shantae. You're the daughter of the genie, Azra.

Shantae- You…know my mother?

Empress Siren- Never met her, but I know Azra made a reputation for herself 1,000 years ago. Even joined up with some group who managed to overcome some kind of dangerous god or something. But in all seriousness, someone please dispose of these pests for me.

Coral Siren- Just leave that to me.

Then Coral Siren got inside her giant robot armor and swung its mechanical claw at them. However, Ty activated the Sacred Spiritual Bunyip power and simply caught the attack in his paw.

Coral Siren- What the…

Then Ty used the extra strength boost from the Bunyip's spirit energy to throw the Coral Siren and her armor through the wall and leave a large hole in it.

Water Lilly Siren- Wow…just wow…

Octo Siren- A red aura surrounds that Tasmanian tiger's body and he suddenly gained the strength to hurl Coral Siren and her mecha suit through the wall like it was paper mâché?!

Ty- As you can see, I ain't an ordinary Tasmanian tiger, shelas.

Empress Siren- I can see that. I heard tale that a tribe of spirits called the Bunyips can grant their power to another living being that manages to survive their trial. And clearly, you possess their power. But I doubt you can maintain that power for very long before you drain yourself of all your energy.

Shantae was about to move towards the Empress Siren, but Angler Fish Siren moved in Shantae's path.

Shantae- Out of the way!

Angler Fish Siren- Sorry, but if you want to get to our empress, you'll have to get through us first…all of us…

Shantae- Fine! I've beaten you all once before. And I can do it again too!

Ty- Don't forget, you got me as well, shela.

Then Angler Fish Siren and Tubeworm Siren stood in front of Shantae while Water Lilly Siren and Octo Siren stood in front of Ty.
