You want to see Blaineley die? Cool! So do I! Thanks for reviewing, SilverWriter0927, Gage the Hedgehog, Bloodylilcorpse (never actually seen the Black Cauldron but with the clips...yeah, Mal would make a good Horned King), Heather (thanks for the suggestions...sound great) and the guest reviewer.
Blaineley was very excited about the storm she was brewing up for her own personalized coronation. Sure, turning herself into a giant was a bit extreme, but it would show everyone the power she now wielded. She was sure that no one would dare cross her after that display.
That morning, she unlocked the door to her daughters' room. "Up right now, girls!" she said in a sugary tone. "We've got a big day ahead of us." She left the door unlocked and went out, ready to start the preparations. The girls whispered about the plan to bring her down amongst themselves. They'd already decided to keep Bridgette away from the action. Blaineley would be most likely to notice her as the fighter.
Eva offered to be the main physical fighter. "So I can keep her minions down." she said, giving an unsettling smirk.
"I better help you, then." Heather volunteered. "I'm dying to take down Ale-whatever his name was."
Gwen already had her place, keeping Geoff updated, either with or instead of Courtney. Blaineley had already spoken to Dakota, who was her favourite, so she would have to stay with her during the coronation. She had planned to signal to Gwen when it was time to impale.
Sierra was trusted to grab the trident and turn everyone back to normal when it was all over. And Izzy? Well, no one trusted her with anything. They told her to be a distraction if anyone was discovered with their undercover plans.
Blaineley had one more thing to do. Courtney had disappeared overnight, and she had planned something very special for her ex's queen. She called to Don and asked him to get a couple of his cadets to find Courtney and bring her back before the end of the morning, which was done within the hour.
"Found her." one of the cadets said, a giant grin on her face. Courtney was struggling, but it was two against one and even her strength couldn't measure up.
"Thank you." Blaineley said. She pointed her trident at Courtney, trapping her in a whirlpool. "Don't worry, I won't kill you yet." she said smoothly. "Top points for trying to stay away. Did you honestly think I wasn't going to dispose of you?"
Courtney had to struggle not to spill the plans she'd made with the girls in her fury. Instead, she hurled insults. "Scamming...scheming...sea witch! I hope you get struck by lightning in this storm you're planning on!"
Blaineley was far too cocky to take that as a warning. An hour later, she was already starting the Coronation.
The merpeople were gathered, all of them nervous of what was going to happen, but not brave enough to stand up to her. DJ was in the crowd, his eyes searching the vicinity for his best friend.
As for the sisters, they'd all taken their places. Eva and Heather kept an eye on Justin and Alejandro, watching to make sure they'd be ready if they needed to be. Gwen slipped away, gliding close to the surface, looking for the ship Geoff would be on. Dakota hovered with her mother, making sure she and Gwen were still able to see each other.
Izzy's eyes flickered around, trying to watch everything at all times. The two youngest kept close, Sierra pushing Bridgette a little way behind her while signaling lovey-dovey messages to a merman who looked terrified every time she looked at him.
"...And now..." Blaineley said, "I think it's time that I made an example of my power to make sure that no one will cross me ever again!" And at that moment, she grew. Her head burst from the surface, and as she did, Gwen too surfaced, right next to the ship. Geoff was watching out for her, and his eyes widened as the ship lurched back and forth and the evil mermaid was right in front of him.
"Keep going forward!" Gwen called out. "When I say so, impale!"
Things went blurry for everyone after that. Blaineley began aiming her trident at a terrified Courtney in the whirlpool. The brunette was dodging, but she couldn't keep it up for long.
Geoff kept going as best he could. He couldn't remember anything until he heard Gwen's voice scream "IMPALE" and he wrenched the wheel.
A blast of lightning struck Blaineley as she registered the flare of fatal pain in her abdomen and stomach. As it did, she dropped the trident. Her skeleton showed in a split second as she slowly fell, shrinking back to her normal size and dropping to the ocean floor.
Geoff, now on a sinking ship, dove down into the water, looking around. The whirlpool dispersed and Courtney swam up to him, pulling him back up. "You need to get back to land now." she whispered.
"But..Bridgette...is she..?" Geoff tried to say.
"She's fine." Courtney said, her voice firm and stern. "You will see her, I promise. But we need to get things sorted down here, first. Go back to solid land. Tomorrow. I promise."
Meanwhile, the seven daughters were gathered around their mother, who lay there, pale and still. Blood seeped from the stomach wound, one that appeared to have gone right through her, all the way to her spine.
"Is she...?" began Dakota.
"I think so." Sierra said. In one hand she grasped the trident.
A shiver went through Bridgette, and she almost regretted it. Because after all, Blaineley was still their mother.
"Wait a minute." Heather said, looking over at Blaineley's minions. "I think we still have a couple of eels to deal with." She paused. "Oh, and Sierra, go change back Chris and all the other people she scammed. And then we need to change this place back to normal!"
Sierra nodded and zipped off, being sure to save Chris for last. The other merpeople were thrilled to retake their own lives and went back to the kingdom. Finally, Sierra turned the trident on her father, who took back the trident and crown.
"Sierra!" He smiled at his favourite daughter. "So, tell me, what has been happening. How is everyone, and how in the world did you take down Blaineley?"
As the purple-haired mermaid told him, they swam back to the kingdom.
Everything was back to normal. Everyone was happy. Well, almost everyone.
Yes, there's only one more chapter left. I hope you liked this one!
