"Uhh...Batman whats going on here?" Flash exclainmed plumteting to a stop in front of the tsunamis. Within seconds he was running on water in the other direction. Hoping that others had his same luck.

"What is it now?" He said swimming in Ariels direction. Just the few seconds he was behind he had already lost her.

"Well... Uhh...The king is taking the battle into his own hands. So to speak."

"Where are the others? Has anyone seen Ariel?" So formal he thought.

"You lost a Princess!" They all yelled at him. Thou not helpful he knew he deserved it. He felt as thou he would not make it in time.

"Isn't that the one you like?" Asked Flash.

"What did you do?" Superman said.

"She swam off. She wanted to help her father. Thats not the point locate her please. I feel like she's in danger."

"How do you know?" Asked Flash.

"I just-" he started to tell off the loud mouth kid with too many questions but Man Hunter chimed in next.

"If I may Batman. You may want to hurry she stuck in a shallow cave she seems hurt bad." That really boiled his blood he swore under his breath.

"So uh you can feel these things Huh Batman this might be your first super power."

"Can it twinkle toes. One giant is enough but two can get reckless. See if you can pull some of the action to the shore lines and when you get a chance go see the commissioner."

Superman had been scanning the waters with his xray vision. And saw the princess surrounded by three little flounders. With a visiter at their fins. Before he was able to react Lex in his armor came in and blocked his path.

"Bat get to Ariel now that eel is fairly close to having sushi!"

"Is that racist?" Asked the Flash.

No it's not Flash but its unlawful for an sea animal to attack and of the mer people. Especially a royal.

I'm right on the eels tail.

Just then swimming along side Batman was a well decorated buffy flounder fish and an army of dolphines with horn spiked helmets. Thou fairly confused he realised this was the king's army. Flounder saw him as well and said.

"Ariel's in trouble she's stuck and babies are with her."

"Can I hitch a ride. I need to get to her. Flounder nods at one of the dolphins near by and like a loyal soldier he scoop up the dark knight and were on their way.

...

The pain was much more than she could bare and Flonders childrenthou brave were terrified of what was ahead. The eel circled them quietly and slowly that the waters weren't even troubled at the tail.

She look at the faces of the flouner fish then looked to the top of the cave and where there was but a small hole. Just big enough for them to escape. They had been pleading the whole time in silent wimpers. Okay I have a plan she thought. She embraced them taking all three of them in one arm. She shimmied to the shadowed lines of the cave walls where the flounders were able to hide. It was then she shoqed them the hole. The oldest of three got the idea and whispered "Take fin, just like daddy taught us."

If it was one thing Flounder new from his adventures with Ariel was how to elude a sticky situation. Along the dark the fishes swam upwards and out with no trouble the eel didnt notice of maybe he didnt care. His eyes were on her and nothing else and vice versa.

In the shadow of the cave where Ariel lay dorment tail inder a rock, Severest watched as from within the darkness as a small light pierce thru. Her eyes were aglow in ocean clear blue and hair that burned a firey red. The reat of her bellowed in light that sashayed along the waves she created.

Thou he was twenty times bigger than she never had he seen a merperson with such a gift. Unfrightened he moved on.

A grumble stop him and suddenly her restraint holding her was crumbling before his eyes. Its unreal.

Ariel had indeed had the powers of her mother's but having not been in such a situation. She alone posessed the powers of the Godw of thunder and the sea. Not even her father could match her strength.

Severest was wise to retreat and find food else where however not smart enough to stay away from precious friends. As he exited the cave heis firat thought was to go after the three flounders that escaped. Knowing this Ariel followed after him. Her now determined expression never leaving him. Without know exactly how Ariel eyes flash a glow of blue shooting a bolt of lightening from them. Having missed him he deemed himself lucky and hassened his pace but it was impossible to miss him. He was then set before the mercy of the royal army not to mentioned Batman. He tried to swim away but he was cornered between them.

Batman looked beyond him to the mermaid thaat rose above him eyes glowing of blue ice and hair crimson and fair. She looked down upon him and was so focused that anyone else was out of her vision.

Another flash from her eyes and the lightening struck again. Missing again she was inches away from hitting the army but caught a rock instead. This power had taken her body to new lengths and it no longer felt like her own.

"Ariel!" Flounder called to her.

She blinked in confusion from the familiar voice. Her woozy deminer gave him the moment he needed to tail whip her into the nearest coraled wall and escaped. The army follows him and Batman and flounder rushes to Ariel's aide. The three flounders that were hiding behind the cave had now clung to. Their father's side. Batman was at a lost for words. How had she come of such power? How was he to help her now? She layed splayed on a pile of scattered coral and sea sponge seaweed wraped in her ebony hair. He lift her slightly to examine the damage. Sure could of used his scanner he thought. But Bruced didnt think he would have anything in his data to compare to this. She no longer glowed and was no long conscious. Her fin was bruised and bleeding and she seemed to have a knot in the back of her head. However bad she was alive.

The baby fishes wimpered at the sight of her. "Is she okay daddy?" Flounder nursed his children and nodded. He gave BAtman the same worried look. He nodded and confirmed his statement.

"She okay. She needs some rest. Is the castle protected?" Flounder nodded again. They should come with me you habe an army to lead.

"Flounder!?" Flora called swimming fast from the distance.

"Flora!" Flounder called to her happy to see her safe.

"Momma" they all cried. Rushing to her arms. They all embraced.

"Momma we didn't keep the princess safe momma." Cried the eldest.

"What are we gonna do?" Another cried.

"Oh no..." she whispered looking at Batman that clung to her tightly.

"Shes okay, just resting she saved us but the eel escaped. My army is after him but with his size and strength he likely escaped. I must go after him before he hurts anyone."

"But Sebastian-"

"Is my friend and wouldnt leave me to fight alone." She nodded in defeat slouching her fins. He sniggles ger face them turns his attention to Batman. "You have all I love around you."

Bruce said nothing but understood. His was going off alone and might not return. Batman lpoked down on Ariel and wondered if taking what he loved was a good idea anymore. Anyday could be a day he may never return.
