"Oh look, Gina, a storm is coming." Said a mermaid that had dark blue hair and blue eyes, she had a dark red tail with brown fins, and covering her breasts was a green sea shell bra; to her fellow mermaid as they sat on a rock watching the waves, enjoying what sunlight there was.

"Why do I feel sad every time I see a storm?" asked Gina. She had blue hair, a few shades light than her fellow mermaid and blue eyes also; her tail was purple and her fins where light blue, her sea shell bra was the same purple color as her tail.

"That's because you think with your heart, not your head." The other mermaid said to her.

"I guess..." Gina said with a sigh.

"Oh I know what will cheer you up!" her friend said.

"Which is?" Gina asked as she looked at her friend.

"Come with me and find out." Her friend replied as she slipped into the water as Gina followed.

"Kayura, where are we going?" Gina asked as she continued to follow her friend.

"Just follow me, Georgina." Kayura said using her friend's real name, a name she hadn't used since she had been turned into a mermaid many years ago.

"Don't call me that, Kay... Are we going into the storm?" Georgina asked using her friend's nickname.

"Yes, it's fun swimming the waves of a storm, and this one smell of a ship killer." Kayura replied with a smile as Georgina returned it.

"Hey Kayura, look. It's a ship caught in the storm." Georgina said after a while of having fun.

"I see the name on it, 'The Phoenix.' It looks half destroyed already." Kayura said.

"I know that family, we have to try and save them, please." Georgina begged her friend.

"Okay, let's go." Kayura agreed, knowing fully well the reason why.

"Jump into the water!" Georgina called out to the Date family once they got to the ship.

"Did you hear someone saying 'jump into the water'?" Sage asked his family, his mother, sisters, and grandfather had joined him and his father on the deck of the ship.

"If you want to live, jump into the water!" said Kayura as the family of six traded looks and jumped into the water as Georgina and Kayura came up to them.

"Hold on to us and take a deep breath and hold on to it. We will be taking you under the water." Georgina said as they did as told.

Kayura had Alan, his wife, and his grandfather while Georgina had Nicole, Sage, and Kaylee. The two mermaids dove under water and brought them to an underwater cave with an air pocket. They came up so the Date family could breathe and after an hour the mermaids brought them back to what was left of the 'Phoenix' and got them onto large pieces of wood.

"The rest of the crew is dead." Kayura said to Georgina after she went and checked on the crew of the 'Phoenix.'

"I want to make sure someone finds them and gets them to a port so they can get home." Georgina said.

"That's fine." Kayura replied before the two swam away.

"Mom..." Sage croaked out as he came around and found himself on a piece of wood that had once been a part of his family's ship.

Sage rolled into the water, gasping as the saltwater aggravated his small wounds. He swam over to his sisters, mother, father, and grandfather and was relived to find that they were alive, he then checked a crew member that was nearby, but he was dead. Sage got back on the piece of wood and passed out, he was tired. The next time he came to, he saw a female checking on his family and she looked familiar to him somehow; she came over to him with a smile on her face.

"Hey." She said softly.

"W...who are you?" he croaked out.

"That's not important; I'm a mermaid that saved your life as well as your sisters. My friend helped me save your parents and grandfather, which is all that matters. I will be back to check on you and your family until someone finds you." The mermaid said before she disappeared. Sage would wake up in time to see her coming or leaving, most of the time she would be alone, other times her friend would be with her.

It was a nice day out on the ocean as Rowen stood at the front of the ship as Ryo sat on the deck next to him as White Blaze lay next to his master. Kento and Cye stood on the other side of Rowen talking to each other when the four of them heard a voice.

"Follow me." Came a voice from nowhere.

"Did you guys hear a voice telling us to follow it?" Ryo asked as he stood up as one member of the crew came over to them.

"Hear what?" the crew member asked.

"It was a female voice." Rowen said.

"Come follow me." The female voice said again.

"Who are you?" Cye asked.

"Where are you?" Kento asked at the same time as Cye.

"Just come follow me!" the voice said with a laugh.

"I think it's a mermaid." The crew member said as they heard a splash and saw a purple tail disappear into the water not far ahead of them.

"Follow that mermaid." Rowen said as they did and came upon the wreckage of what they guessed had once been a ship and they spotted some figures on pieces of wood.

Then one day when Sage was awake, he had lost track of how long he had been on the piece of wood, he heard a noise, it sounded like a splash, at first he thought it was one of the mermaids, until he heard a voice calling out to him, it was a male voice.

"Hey! Are you alright?" the voice belonged to a man in a rowboat that another man was rowing.

Sage nodded his head, unable to speak since he was so thirsty, plus the mermaid had told him not to speak until he was recused.

"Come on, kid. Easy now, we will go back for your family." The man said as he was helped onto the rowboat, which was brought to a ship he recognized right away and smiled. He was safe.

"Are you okay, Sage, what happened?" Rowen asked his friend once he was on the ship.

"Thirsty..." Sage whispered.

"Rowen, take him to your cabin, I will have the men take his family to mine. I will let Mike know to make some food for them." Said a crew member that was old enough to be Rowen's father.

"Okay, Tim." Rowen said to the mas as he helped his childhood friend to his cabin.

"I'll help you." Cye said as he followed Rowen.

"Thanks, Cye." Rowen said as he gave his new friend a smile.

"What can we do to help?" Kento asked looking at Tim.

"You boys can help bring Sage's family to my cabin." Tim said as Ryo and Kento nodded as Kaylee Date, Sage's little sister was brought on board.

"Mermaids..." Kaylee whispered as she was handed to Ryo.

"Mermaids? What is she talking about?" Ryo asked.

"We will have to wait until they are awake to ask them about." Tim said as Sage's older sister, Nicole was brought on board and handed to Kento. "Go take them to my cabin, lay them on the bed for now.

Tim watched as the men brought Alan, his wife Theresa, and his father Alexander onto the ship and brought them to his cabin. Once he made sure the five of them were settled, Tim went to his young captain's room to let him know that Sage's family was on board and resting in his cabin and that he had the crew get the ship moving back to Port Dranzer. It was home to not only Rowen and the Date family, but to most of the older men on the crew. The older pirates had sailed under Rowen's father before he died when Rowen was 12 years old.

Tim had been Rowen's father's first mate; Alan would have done it if he didn't have his family business to worry about. When he died and left the ship to his only 12 year old son, Tim ran the ship and acted as captain until Rowen was used to being the captain of a pirate ship and accepted his father's death. It had taken a while but Rowen caught on quickly once he accepted his father's death and had earned a reputation as the youngest pirate captain and that he showed mercy to some men that had families.

"Rowen." Tim said as he walked in, Ryo, Kento, Cye, and White Blaze were there with Rowen and Sage, whom was resting on Rowen's bed.

"Yeah?" Rowen said as he and his three friends that were awake looked at him.

"Sage's family are in my cabin resting and I ordered the men to start the ship and head to Port Dranzer." Tim said.

"Okay." Rowen said.

"Did Sage tell you anything?" Tim asked.

"Not much, all he said was that they were caught in a strong storm that destroyed their ship and there were two mermaids that checked on them before we found them." Rowen explained.

"That makes sense, considering how we found them. It also explains why little Kaylee said 'mermaids' when we brought her on board." Tim said before he left to keep an eye on the crew.
