Chapter 2
Under the Sea in FantasyLand
"Blurry! Blurry, hurry up!" A young girl called out to the young boy, who was following her. The young girl had short, black hair with chestnut brown eyes. She smiled a great big smile as the young boy, Blurry, finally made it up the hill.
"Why are you in a hurry?" He asked, a bit out of breath. "It's just a view." The girl huffed and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Hmph. Just a view, you say." She then smirked and then said, "I'm sure you'll change your mind about that soon." Blurry was confused and was about to ask when the girl shushed him as the sun disappeared below the horizon. It was getting dark out and Blurry was worried about what was going to happen. But then, little lights appeared. They were small at first, but then more and more lights appeared and made the surrounding night light up. Blurry was astonished by what he was seeing. He smiled as he watched the lights dance around each other.
"This is...amazing…" Blurry gasped.
"Told ya so." The girl giggled. Blurry laughed a little and looked at the girl with a smile that rivaled her smile.
"This is more that just a view." Blurry admitted. "...Thanks Carol."
The old grandfather clock rang, waking Blurry from his slumber. He groaned as he sat up. He was much of a morning person, but he just had to deal with it. Blurry got up from his makeshift bed on Merlin's couch and trudged over to the kitchen area to grab some breakfast. When he entered the kitchen, Blurry just stood there when he saw Merlin, already up and wearing some kind of blue diving suit with a snorkel. The old wizard was too busy making tea to notice Blurry entering until the teenager said, "Morning."
Merlin jumped a little in surprise, almost spilling over the tea, but he caught it before it hit the ground. "O-Oh! Good morning, Blurry! I didn't know you would be up this early." Merlin said. "I assumed that teens your age would like to sleep in rather than wake up early."
"Well, not all teenagers are like that." Blurry stated. "What's with the suit?" He asked.
"Oh! This! Well…" Merlin started. "Water levels around the kingdom have been rising rather suspiciously, and Hades' minions seem to be everywhere we go! I need to go look and see if the crystal piece is still in the safe spot I left it, and I need you, my boy, to search for the cause of this problem. I've contacted Sebastian and he believes he knows what's going on. He'll fill you in on the rest." The wizard informed. Blurry nodded his head, understandingly, and was about to head out but Merlin stopped him by saying, "You might want to wear your swimsuit and bring a scuba tank. I have one in the closet next to my dresser!" Blurry wasn't going to question WHY he had that, so he just went with it.
Blurry, now dressed in his black and blue swim trunks, and equipped with the scuba tank, was swimming in the waters, looking for Sebastian when he came upon the red crab, looking through a pile of things.
"Jumpin' Jellyfish," Sebastian cried out, "how do I get myself into these situations?" He asked himself. Blurry swam over and tapped on Sebastian's shoulder. The crab turned around screamed but realized it was just Blurry, the boy Merlin told him about. "Don't sneak up on me like that!" Sebastian then sighed and told Blurry, "Oh, I knew it had to be Ursula come back again! Look!" Sebastian motioned to a crystal ball that showed an image of the Sea Witch, Ursula. "She's going to be trouble." A scene started to play out within the crystal ball and it showed Ursula in the River of Souls talking to Hades.
"So I'm asking myself…" Hades started. "...what is the fabulously wicked Ursula doing here in the River of Souls...when she could be leading my invasion of the Magic Kingdom. You capture that Land and the Crystal of the Magic Kingdom for me, and I'll let you stay up there." Hades offered. The scene changed to Ursula talking to her two pet eels.
"Here's the fun in capturing anything…" Ursula said, "...if you don't to rule over the poor unfortunate souls you swam over in the process. Besides...our hot headed much too busy to realize that I've double-crossed him until it's too late!" The Sea Witch laughed. "Tear down the sea walls, boys!" The scene stopped and Blurry looked back at Sebastian, who looked beyond worried.
"She's gonna flood the whole place!" The red crab cried out, pacing back and forth. Blurry put two fingers on Sebastian's shoulder, telling his it would be alright with his eyes. Blurry picked up Sebastian and put the crab on his shoulder and started swimming off to try and find Ursula. As they were swimming, Blurry spotted Ariel swimming around, looking very worried.
"It's Ariel!" Sebastian noticed and then called out to her. Ariel noticed and hurried over to Blurry and Sebastian.
"Sebastian! There you are! I've been looking for you, and who's your friend?" The little mermaid asked.
"This is Blurry, but no time for introductions!" Sebastian stated. "What's wrong, Ariel?"
"Right!" Ariel exclaimed. "Over by the shipwreck...I thought I saw Ursula, but...how can that be?" The mermaid thought out loud. Blurry and Sebastian exchanged looks and knew what to do next. Along with Ariel, they headed towards the shipwreck, but hid behind a wall when they saw Ursula swimming away.
"Oh, no!" Sebastian exclaimed. "Ursula has already broken through the sea wall!" Blurry was about got chase after Ursula when…
"Ursula's plan is working…"
"Soon the ocean will flood the castle…"
Blurry looked around and saw Ursula's pet eels, Flotsam and Jetsam. He swam back a bit away from the moray eels, trying to keep a safe distance when the eels said, at the same time, "...to create a new fortress."
"We can't allow-"
"-Any interference!" The eels then sent a shock of electricity towards Blurry and the teen was shocked. He held back a small scream of pain, and looked back the eels with a glare. Blurry looked above the eels and saw an old cannon up above on another floor. Blurry sent forward a wave of Time Energy, aging the wood above so the cannon fell on top of the eels. The cannon blasted of the eels, and Flotsam and Jetsam started swimming away saying:
"Ugh...Too loud…"
"And quite heavy…"
"You did it, Blurry!" Sebastian cheered. "There's still maybe time to stop the Sea Witch and the rising ocean. Come on!" Blurry nodded and followed Sebastian as they swam towards a secret entrance to the castle dungeons but the duo found that dungeons were flooded.
"We have to get past Ursula's guards!" Sebastian suggested, which Blurry nodded to. Blurry swam and felt a presence following him and Sebastian. Blurry took a careful look around before realizing that he was being followed by a shark! Blurry's eyes widened with shock and moved out of the way before the shark could bite him. Sebastian screamed like a little girl as the shark started coming after him. However, the shark didn't get very far when Blurry got on top of the predator and started punching its eyes. The shark tried to shake the teenager off but with the pain in its eyes, it couldn't see very well. As soon as the shark started swimming away, trying to see its way out, Blurry and Sebastian swam away before the shark came back to get his revenge.
"Well done, my friend!" Sebastian told Blurry. Blurry nodded his head, but suddenly stopped when he felt something. It wasn't the presence of the shark again. No, this was different. It was dark magic.
"What's wrong Blurry?" Sebastian asked. Blurry looked towards a corridor to his right and motioned Sebastian to follow him. Blurry went on ahead as the red crab followed him. Finally, Blurry surfaced with Sebastian and removed his air mask for a while as floated in the water.
"Oh. Please help!" Blurry looked at saw it was Ariel again. "I-I can't get free. Won't someone please help me?" She cried. But Blurry could tell something was off about Ariel. That's when Merlin poofed in and saw Ariel in trouble.
"Oh, dear." Merlin gasped. "Don't worry, Ariel! I'll have you free in a moment, hang on!" He told the little mermaid.
"Come closer. Take my hand!" Ariel told Merlin. "It's the only way." Just as Merlin was about to reach for Ariel's hand and grab it…
"Tempus Rewind!" Blurry shouted, sending a blast of Time Magic towards Ariel. Merlin and Sebastian looked at Blurry, shocked. Merlin was about to question when Ariel started to change and her voice sounded different.
"What are you doing?" She asked. "Give me your hand, oh please. I'm just a helpless little mermaid." That's when Ariel changed back into the Sea Witch as she said, "What could you possibly have to fear from little old me?" Ursula laughed as she disappeared back into the water. Her voiced through the room, "I'm just warming up, honey. It's sink or swim time!" She laughed again.
"Great work, my friend." Sebastian said. "But how did you-"
"I felt her dark magic." Blurry said with a shrug. "I followed it and led right that Ariel we saw. It was a trick."
"Well then, that was much too close!" Merlin said. "Amazing job, my boy!"
"Don't compliment me yet." Blurry stated. "I'm going after Ursula!" Blurry put his scuba mask back on and down into the water after the Sea Witch. Blurry snuck into the room where Ursula was. She looking for stuff in the castle's basement when the crystal ball turned on and Hades appeared. Blurry hid behind a wall for cover so Hades wouldn't see him.
"Knock, knock. Is this thing on?" He asked. "Ursula?"
"Oh, hold your seahorses, big boy." The Sea Witch snapped at him. "Now, where would he hid a magic crystal?" Ursula asked herself.
"Since the general 'dampness' of the cozy, little castle is REALLY going to do a number on my hair," Hades said, "I'm going to need you to drain the place, capisce?" Then Hades' image in the crystal ball disappeared and Blurry came out of hiding and confronted Ursula. She glared at the teenager.
"Listen. With all these interruptions, how am I ever going to finish?" She asked Blurry. The boy shrugged his shoulders, he couldn't really talk with his scuba mask on. "Maybe...by first finishing you!" Blurry dodged the attack and then sent Space Energy towards Ursula but he purposely missed and warped the bookcase next to her out of existence. Ursula looked shocked, seeing what the boy just did. She looked Blurry, who had a serious look on his face as he swam towards her a bit.
"Please, let's be reasonable." She told him. But Blurry didn't listen as he used his Space Energy to create a bow and arrow. He aimed and fired the arrow at Ursula. The arrow wasn't meant to harm Ursula, but it was meant to send her back to the Underworld, where she belonged.
"No!" Ursula cried as she warped out of the castle and back into the Underworld and into the River of Souls. Suddenly, back in the castle, the water started draining and the castle was no longer flooded! Everything was wet, yes...but it wasn't flooding anymore. Sebastian came down to the room and to Blurry's side as the teenager took of his scuba tank and mask.
"Amazing work, my friend!" Sebastian cheered. "You defeated the Sea Witch!" Just then, Hades' image reappeared on the crystal ball and Blurry and Sebastian got out of there before Hades saw them, but Blurry overheard Hades saying, "Why is this crystal ball no longer in service?"
Blurry and Sebastian met up with Merlin and Ariel, the REAL Ariel, outside the castle. Ariel was as happy as can be as she did flips in the water.
"You did it!" She cheered. "You saved the day!" Ariel smiled at Blurry and he just nodded his head in agreement with her.
"However, my dear," Merlin chimed in, "I'm afraid Hades stilling finding villains to join his efforts. But for now, we must rest, Blurry."
"Yeah, and I think I've enough swimming to last the rest of the week." Blurry stated. Merlin, Sebastian, and Ariel laughed at this, but Blurry...he didn't. He did not laugh, or crack a small smile. Not like he did all that time ago…
