"What happened, Dareth?" Jay insistently asked.
Dareth shook his head, sighing. "It's the princess's new fiancee… he's actually one of Clouse's eels!"
Lloyd shaped his hand into a fist, gritting his teeth. Garmadon frowned. "Clouse wouldn't do this without good reason…"
"King Garmadon! We've been searching all over for you!"
Shadow, Paleman, and Gravis dragged Bolobo and Toxikita to the surface, the two eel creatures hissing. Garmadon glared at the two of them.
The sea king raised his trident, only to have it held back by Lloyd. Lloyd shook his head, motioning with his hand to give the trident to him. Garmadon hesitated, then obliged. Lloyd took the trident, the three prongs illuminating with a soft pale light. It encircled the two eels, their former merfolk features being restored. Garmadon smiled. "Of course… the trident can alternate or restore form…" He shook his head, filled with realization. "That filthy squid! He's using you to get to me! I should've known he'd try something like this!"
Lloyd patted his father's shoulder, giving the trident back. The young prince looked drained, his mouth forming into a yawn.
Skylor angrily hit at the water below her, clearly upset. "How DARE they! My poor little brother…" She lifted Lloyd's chin with her hand, Lloyd raising an eyebrow suspiciously.
Seliel nodded. "Yeah; I wanna fight!"
Kai frowned. "How are we going to get up there and effectively fight?"
Skylor huffed. "You're right…"
Seliel smirked. "Well, I think we have an idea." She pointed to the anchor on the wedding ship. "We can climb up with that!"
Garmadon gripped his trident, an angry expression on his face. "Let's stall a wedding."
Dareth squawked loudly, like a seagull. "Hey, guys! Need any help from…" He squawked again. "From the aviary?"
Birds flocked down onto the dock, the merfolk gawking at them. "Birds?!"
Garmadon hefted himself onto the dock. "I can't believe we're doing this…"
Lloyd grinned, standing up. He pumped his fist, his family diving into the water. Garmadon grabbed his wrist, smiling. "Let's go, son."
The wedding bells chimed on the wedding ship, Dareth watching from above. Camille was walking down the aisle, a red-lipped smile on her face. Her wedding dress draped down to the floor, trailing behind her.
Cole waited for her at the front of the congregation, a smirk on his face. He heard a growl, turning his head. Max had his head down, and his teeth bared. Cole kicked him sharply, Max whining.
Camille reached the end of the aisle, Cole looping his arm around hers.
Clouse, disguised as a townsperson, watched, nodding his approval.
Seliel crawled up onto the deck, gripping a small dagger. She whistled, signaling the others.
Dareth squawked, the birds behind him cawing and tweeting. They divebombed Cole, the eel shrieking. Clouse gritted his teeth, looking around.
Skylor grinned. "ATTACK!"
Camille was dragged out of the battle by Ash and Lar, Ash winking at her. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness."
The purple-haired princess raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Since when do I need to be safe?" She ripped her skirt at the knees, taking out a sword.
Lar and Ash wolf-whistled. "Dang, girlfriend…"
Lloyd gave them dirty looks, the two older brothers laughing.
Cole was tackled by Skylor, the fiery-haired mermaid snatching the necklace from him. He gulped, nervously chuckling. Seliel took over, holding the eel down.
Skylor tossed the necklace to Zane, who dropped it onto the deck. It flared with green light, Clouse yelling in dismay.
The battle ceased, all eyes drawn to the broken necklace and the light streaking from it. It formed a long, curvy line, making a path towards Lloyd. His singing voice rang out in the air, returning to his vocal chords. He smiled, the last note of the song ringing in his ears.
Camille gasped, running to the blonde prince of the ocean. "Lloyd… how… what… You can talk! And-and sing!"
Lloyd smiled, nodding. "I can…"
Cole felt a tear running down his face, the eel sobbing into Seliel's magenta hair. She sighed, patting his head.
Garmadon smiled, lowering his trident to rest at his side. Kai even smiled, Nya standing next to him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, grinning.
Clouse ripped off his disguise, baring his teeth. "NO! YOU'RE A FOOL!" he yelled, facing Cole. "YOU HAD ONE JOB!" He was seething with anger. "And you," he hissed, facing Camille, "you are coming with me." He grabbed her by the waist, jumping into the ocean. Lloyd screamed her name, preparing to jump in after her. Garmadon grabbed his wrists, pulling him back. "Lloyd, no! It's too dangerous!"
Lloyd shook his father off, determination creasing his brow. "No one harms my princess." He jumped off the ship, splashing into the water below.
CLIFFHANGER CENTRAL BABYYYYY
Sorry I didn't update for a while; I was watching my cousin for a few days this week… He's four, so…
I finished this after watching this movie with him last night X3 he loves the Little Mermaid apparently and so I got more inspiration. I didn't want the movie to line up perfectly with this story, so I tweaked the story enough to keep you all interested. You must like it if you got this far XD
So, yeah, one more chapter I think. Thanks for reading! And don't forget to point out any ships you see… I vaguely remember some Ash x Camille hinted vaguely in there…
Anyways, enough wasting your life, bye!
