Batman and the girls were high tailing it to the nearest shelter and Bruce had no regrets to his decision to leave his friends to the task. However bad the situation might be he still would trust his team with his life.

Ariel on the other hand feared for her father and knew she had to go help him. But escaping the clutches of Bruce was impossible next she just didn't want to do it. She loved him and on the occasions alone craved him and being without felt like going to war with fate itself. But her father needed her like he once needed her mother.

Ariel was left with her mother's power for a reason. She was a major key player in all of this. Thou she was the youngest she looked back at her sister and saw not the strength she was mustering up but scared. They were all worry; they hadn't anything special to hide behind. Ariel felt almost a responsibility to protect them all and father too.

She had made up her mind even against Bruce better judgment; she had to go to her father. With all her might she snatched back her hand from Bruce's grasp. He looked back stunned. She gave him a look that said it all. She was going back. Before he or anyone else had a chance to react properly. She had already turned and swam away. Nothing but bubbles and troubled waters was left to show that her presence was once there.

"Ariel!" Bruce called after her but he was too late.

"What is she thinking?" Adrinna cried. "She could be killed!"

"Ariel knows more than any of us what she's doing. And mother's powers are still developing in her. She can not be stopped."

"Understood Attina but grand papa Zeus or Poseidon is not going to help us with this one. He said so himself."

"Dad said he would do this alone…" Aquata sniffed in between sobs. "I don't want to lose her too."

Bruce knew what he wanted to do but he also knew what had to be done. He didn't want to lose her either. He was going to turn and finish his job when Adella one of Ariel's tough love sisters put a hand on his shoulder.

"I need you to get my sister back to me safe. Can you at least manage that?" she scolded. In any case he understood why. Adella was worried for Ariel and he couldn't agree more. "Why aren't you moving? Don't you love her?"

"But your sisters…"

"We went to this location more than once. Only we know the path. No one will follow or get us. Now get out of here!" Adella said.

Attina swan to her side and nodded him off. "We'll be ok Bruce. Father and Ariel need you most."

"Thank you" he whispered and without a second thought to their safety he was on his way. The sisters swam together slowly on their path. All were worried and sadden with the day's events and surprises.

"I think she is doomed to love him forever." Arista mused holding clasped hands to her cheek.

"Oi I think she will also be doomed to suffer heartbreak with this man." Attina sighed. "This man is good for her and truly loves her and she has chosen him wisely based on her own heart. She has bonded but-"

"But what Attina?" Adrinna wondered that sounded so perfect.

"But he is a man. Not only so but a man for the land above. How will they ever be happy apart?"

"Oh poor Ariel," Adrinna and Adella cry.

"Where will they live?" Arista asks.

"I'm sure father will think of something. He too has suffered great finding a place to love." Alana said.

"Even still dad cannot have his heart and his home."

"Hopefully this changes everything."

…

"Batman we have a problem everyone is in a bind we can't fight them all off." Black Canary said.

"According to my data," Cyborg intercepted. "It seems as if each of our strongest and most annoying rivals have an extra gene place inside them that doubles their anger and attacks. This isn't gonna be so easy blowing them off again. I'm almost at my limit."

"I hate to admit it but he's right Lex is more than capable of shoving a kryptonian sword in my back at any time with this new suit he has. It's probably laced with every that could kill me.

"Somehow we have to even the playing field. I don't even know how my guy even got to this planet." Green Lateran said.

"I'm having a blast, I love a man who think he could best me. Soon enough he too will know truth." Wonder Woman said excited continuing her battle.

"Batman its Flash Joker and Penguin are at your house they have Alfred. I don't think they seen me. But I was there. Granted it was only for a second but still he is there and they are there. Something smelled fishy about the whole thing."

"Really dude?" Cyborg beamed in. "What gave it away the penguin or the fish tails?!"

"Not the time guys," Batman finally said. "Flash thanks I'm on it. Everybody else I have a solution but I have to make a stop somewhere first. Martian you think you can move Alfred to a safe place until I get there?"

"It shall be done."

"Thanks Wonder Woman. I need a favor could you meet in the pearl garden beyond the boundaries of the Kingdom?"

"On it!" She shouted tossing her arch nemesis in to a brick wall and escaping.

"Batman-"

"I know Superman I know I can't risk not helping her and I need you all to do your best until they are out of danger."

"No Bruce look up I think Ursula is making an appearance to the world." Everyone stopped and stared as they finally saw Ursula grew to enormous heights and tower over the city of Gotham. She was big and large as she laughed it echoed thru the streets like a roar of hell. Ursula was in one hand took with her the King of the sea and in the other held the seven Tridents. The skies grew dark and with each swipe of her tentacles sending hurricanes and tidal waves toward the beach. Waves crashed and the herons dodged them while still achieving in defeating their enemies. Today all of our herons had a mutual enemy and she sat upon Arkham Asylum like a throne.

Ariel still on her way dodge as much ruble and fish as she could but was not quick enough her tail was caught between a fallen boulder and she was sure she was soon to be submerged alive. She pushed and nudges the rock as much as she could but it was no use. She had to find some way to get out or her father and the rest f the world would parish. She cried as she watched as all the fish passed her trying to save their families and their own tails. She felt as thou she had the weight of the world on her tail and she failed. Suddenly a flounder fish with her three babies were coming by and spotted Ariel in agony.

"Princess?" the flounder asked. "Ariel!"

"Flora! Get help please! Get Flounder, Sebastian, anybody! My Tail is stuck!" Ariel cried.

Flora told the boys to comfort Ariel and they did. Swimming right beside the Princess, the three flounders nuzzled Ariel's cheeks and it took her to the happy place of when she and Flounder were young. She knew both Sebastian and Flounder were both leading armies against Ursula's minions. Surely Flora would find some one she thought. Ariel only hoped it were soon.

Severest search the grounds of the ocean and guarded Ursula like the loyal servant he was. He had increased in length, his appetite and use of his nerve and senses had gotten even stronger. He fed off of sharks that dared cross him.

As he circled the grounds again and this time he smelled he smelled that of royal blood.
