Marina/Maya's pov
I was at a loss as far as what to do, my magic was being counteracted by Riker, and Tris was left at his "mercy"
Riley was the first to look at me, noticing I was startled, worried and unfocused; and asked
"What's wrong?"
By then, all eyes had turned to focus solely on me, and wringing my hands out of worry, I answered them. Topanga, my land mother, so to speak; placed a comforting hand on my arm
"How can we help, Sweetie?"
Anger bubbling through my veins, I replied
"Use your lawyer skills to bail me out of jail without parole or probation for killing that evil brat?" I then got up, going towards the ocean "But this I have to do alone. They're way too deep, and Tris is unconscious."
Of course they knew they would not be able to help underwater; but were still worried about letting me go alone.
However, I was stubborn and resilient
"I'm the only one who can help him right now. And I have a few tricks Riker does not know about. Family magic and family heirlooms." and with not another word, I dove into the familiar and somewhat comforting deep blue waters.
Riker's pov
I was pondering what to do with my very powerful and influential captive; contemplating even swapping his life for the crown; when I felt someone swim up behind me; her identity immediately known through her power charging through the waves and the water in ripples. Marina. She was a walking contradiction in my life. I was in love with her, and still am to some degree; but ever since she chose HIM, I could not help but feel a bit of anger towards the powerful mermaid; future queen of the sea. Speaking of Marina, she wasted no time in blasting me with her powerful magic, traditional in her family; actually leaving me immobile for long enough time that she was able to cast a force field around Tristan; one I could only dream of penetrating. It was a spell first cast by one of her ascendants, 500 years ago. There was no way I could try to get in.
Now the combat begun. Me versus Marina. I did not have much magic of my own, only to attack with sharks; but her magic was far too strong. Not to mention, who I REALLY had wanted to kill was tucked safely away from any strike I could try against him. After battling for hours, I felt myself collapse; accidentally freeing four other captives of mine; Marina and Tristan's parents. Also, my sharks had turned against me; my power over them gone; and they had quite the feast.
Tris's pov
As soon as I had started to awaken, I saw that my situation had taken a complete 180 degree turn. Marina had saved the day, we had found our parents and our greatest enemy was gone for good. Now we could visit land whenever, and also be crowned to help rule the seas after our marriage ceremony; which took place fairly quickly after all this finally got our happily ever after.
