Here is the next chapter. I'm sorry I took so long with this story. I was trying to finish To The Unknown before my birthday. Luckily, I succeeded. So, here's the next chapter of this lovely story to see what happens to Mokuba. Review please!

Mokuba moaned, waking up from his fall that was 10 feet at least. He found himself tied up by his hands and feet onto some bolder with rope. He gasped, noticing a bunch of naked women with their lower halves looking like fish tails. Freaking out, he closed his eyes shut and looked the other way away from them.

"Okay, this is just awkward," Mokuba said, noticing the gold apple still in his hand. "I wonder why they didn't take this out of my hand." One of the mermaids slowly appeared from the deep water, smiling deviously with razor sharp teeth. "Oh crud! HEEEEEEEEEEEELP!" He struggled to free himself from his bonds as the mermaid slowly sunk back in the water.

Finally, Mokuba was able to free his right hand from rope. He used it to his free his other hand, but before he could, two hands with sharp pointy claw-like fingers appeared from the water and grabbed a hold of Mokuba's feet, dragging him toward the water while the boy was still tied to the bolder.

"Let go of me you sick cannibal!" Mokuba cried out, finally freeing his other hand. He wield his sword and slashed it on the two hands as it jerked away, giving him time to free his bonds tied to his legs. He walked away from the water edge, panting heavily. "Wait, why would they put me on a ledge if they're going to eat me?" Suddenly, he heard a laughter of a young girl. Mokuba looked around with furrowed eyebrows. 'I got a bad feeling about this,' he thought.

There was a shadow deep in the cave tunnel behind Mokuba. He saw the mysterious shadow looked like one of a young girl with shoulder length hair. The laughter echoed from the location of the shadow. Mokuba's eyes widened as the shadow moved to the left and there popped out a beautiful young girl his age with short blond curly hair and blue eyes peeking from behind a cave wall with only her head and shoulders showing. Judging from the lack of clothing on her shoulders, Mokuba guessed she was naked like all the other women.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man!" Mokuba responded, walking backwards, then noticing the numbers of hands from the water's edge reaching for him. "Why me?"

"Will you come play with me?" The girl from the end of the cave asked, making a giggling noise.

"Uh... I think I'll pass," Mokuba replied, feeling more scared then he ever was. Why him? "In fact... I think I'll be..." he looked back at the numbers of mermaid hands reaching for him. "leaving now."

"Aw... can't we have a little fun?" The girl asked as she slowly stepped out of the cave wall, most of her body covered by the darkness, but Mokuba could still see the full body of the young girl, who apparently had legs, since she was on land. He looked away, to prevent his eyes from seeing her nudiness. "I never get to have any fun!"

"I'm sorry, but... wait, why aren't you eating me? You're a mermaid for crying out loud!" Mokuba asked, seemingly baffled as the girl stared down at the cave floor and slightly blushed.

"I just want someone to play with! Most of the others are older than me!" The girl replied, then showed a small smile. Then, it turned into a frown. "Why are you looking away."

"You're naked! I don't wanna look at you naked!"

"Oh... what's naked?"

"It means your private places aren't covered!"

"You want me to cover myself?"

"That and help me get to my friends if you don't wanna eat me!"

"Okay!" The girl said before running behind the cave wall, then after several moments, appeared back with some sort of clothing that seemed to once belong to and older man. "Will you play with me now?"

"I'd like to get out of this place and return to my friends!" Mokuba said with some sort of demand in his voice before feeling a hand grabbing his ankle. "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Mokuba kicked, grabbing onto land, and screamed loudly. "HELP ME! HELP ME! HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Mokuba felt someone grabbing him from his upper body while the two mermaid hands jerked off his ankles. He panted, looking directly at where the mermaids grabbed a hold of his legs. He noticed his legs showed bloody scratches where he was grabbed. He began feeling the pain, ignoring the fact the young blond mermaid was holding him.

"Oh man, I'm dead! I'm dead!" Mokuba responded, trying to back up from the water edge.

"Don't worry, you'll be safe with me," the girl said with a soft smile, pulling back Mokuba's hair behind the ear.

"Listen lady, I'd like to get back to my friends and not be eaten by man-eating mermaids... or you!" Mokuba snapped as the girl giggled.

"I can't do that silly! My teeth are not sharp enough!" The girl said, showing her teeth, which were sharp, but not enough to cut Mokuba's finger.

"Whatever! I still want to get back to my friends!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that. Only you can do that," The girl explained, then let out a sigh before staring down at the floor.

"So, this trial has to do with me fighting those things. I have a question... why isn't their singing effecting me?"

"I guess your hormones haven't developed yet. Even I can't sing and hypnotize men yet. Too young."

"I... guess that makes sense... sorta. I wonder what this golden apple does," Mokuba wondered, staring at the golden apple he was holding. He smelled it, and took a bite of it before swallowing it. All of a sudden, he felt some strange pain in his lungs. He grasped a hold of his chest before dropping himself into the water where the mermaids were.

Mokuba sunk down deeper into the waters, then opened his eyes, which showed a strange seal around it. He then noticed gills on his chest and his legs turned into a tail. He was a merman! He noticed his pants sinking into the water before grabbing them and trying to learn how to swim, while avoiding the naked mermaids. It seemed difficult to swim when Mokuba only had arms and a tail.

Suddenly, Mokuba felt a gentle hand on his arm. He looked up and saw the same girl with the same baggy top on. She showed him how to swim and make turns with his fin and legs. Mokuba was able to swim properly and swam up to the surface. The girl swam up after Mokuba with a bright smile on her face.

"Thanks," Mokuba thanked before scanning his eyes around the area, which he could surprisingly see better with his new night vision. "I'm gonna go see if I can find my friends."

"You might run into trouble along the way," the girl warned. "My kind seeks your blood and will go after you."

"I got my sword and magic!" Mokuba assured with a cocky smirk.

"Against many?"

"I guess I might need help," Mokuba realized, then sighed before diving into the waters. The blond girl followed Mokuba, who was swimming along the water.

The two merkids swam along the deep waters before facing a huge army of naked women. Mokuba could hear echos of their singing ringing in his eardrums. Two eyebrows furrowed and the fact that they were naked didn't matter to him. He got out his sword and swam up to them to fight. The sword glowed brightly while the mermaids swam up for an attack.

Mokuba kept fighting while underwater, but it was hard to swing his sword against the ladies and they were all overwhelming him. The little mermaid girl watched in horror as Mokuba kept fighting bold and bravely, but they were too much for him. The little mermaid girl quickly swam up to the boy and pushed half of the mermaids off of him, so that the army would not overwhelm him.

The mermaids glared at the mermaid girl before she swam off as fast as she could in the waters. At least she gave Mokuba a huge advantage of winning his fight. She kept swimming and swimming while Mokuba was fighting off the army of mermaids. This time, it was a little easier to fight the creatures. He was able to fight them off before swimming away from them. He then, grabbed the mermaid girl by the wrist and they both started swimming away from the army of mermaids.

Mokuba swam up to the surface and found a spot of light coming from Tea's flashlight. A smirk appeared on his lips and he jumped up to land, his tail changing back into legs. He shouted, "FREEZE!" as the blew gem on his necklace glowed and the water froze on the surface of the water, preventing the mermaids from reaching the surface. The mermaid girl panted while Tea turned her flashlight and gasped in horror at the two.

"Tea!" Mokuba cried out.

"OH MY GOSH!" Tea responded, all the girls, besides Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Amethyst Cat, turned their faces away.

"Sorry," Mokuba apologized, blushing at the fact that he had no underwear or pants on. He put back on his underwear and pants. The mermaid girl didn't need to do that, since the shirt she was wearing was so large, it covered her whole body. "You can look now."

"Who is this?" Amethyst Cat asked Mokuba, pointing her nose at the mermaid girl.

"Actually... I don't know. What is your name?" Mokuba asked the girl.

"Atlas," The girl Atlas replied with a soft smile.

"Atlas, thanks for the help!" Mokuba thanked Atlas. "Though, I still don't trust you completely."

"Promise me you'll play with me sometime?"

"Um... sure... I guess," Mokuba replied, still feeling a little weird. The girl smiled, then slowly walked backwards, standing on the ice with her bare feet.

"We'll meet again! Tell me your name!"

"Mokuba."

"I'll be waiting for our play date," Atlas promised before skating backwards with her bare feet on the ice until she ran into thin ice and dropped into the water.

"Rather she's good at hypnotizing boys or you have a crush," Tea smirked as Mokuba turned his head, blushing mad red.

"I DO NOT!" Mokuba denied.

"Do so."

"DO NOT!"

"Can we get back on the surface?" Silent Magician asked as the two nodded.

"I suppose I finished by other task and got this... golden apple," Mokuba said, holding up the golden apple, which now showed no bite marks. "I swear I bit out of this! I guess it revives after the spell wears out. This turns you into a fish when you eat it."

"Interesting," Tea replied.
