Sachiko shook, as she felt an odd filling sensation fill her body with a new energy.
She suddenly felt very powerful, and from no where she heard music… this filled her with even more strength and energy, and she felt more confident than ever. She turned to Kimiko, who was smirking.
The man looked frightened.
The song began with a powerful beat. The main lyrichs repeated, but somehow they did not fit what Sachiko thought a mermaid song would sound like… it was… darker.
It wasn't that she didn't like the song, but more that she didn't feel it…
Kumiko's voice was loud and pure… and Sachiko was glad to have her by her side, but the song was… all wrong.
The man cringed.
When it finished, one of the lyrichs was
"Give me what I deserve."
This certainly wasn't the tune of a mermaid song at all… Sachiko was confused.
When the man disappeared in a flash of red light, Sachiko looked sad.
"What's wrong Sachi? We beat him!" Kumiko sang happily.
"I suppose so…" She replied hazily.
"Love shower pitch! Would you like and encore?" They said in unison.
"Did that song… sound right?" She asked.
"I think so…" Kumiko shrugged.
"Oh. Okay." Sachi replied sighing. "It just didn't sound like a mermaid song…"
Suddenly, out of no where, a brilliant light appeared.
"Well done, mermaid princesses." It beamed, in a string but delicate voice. "I am Aqua-Regina, the Queen of the Seas." A light figure was now visible.
"Aq-Aqua-Regina-sama!" They both bowed.
"I have not even called on you, and you both did your duties." She smiled lightly.
"Continue this, for a new dark force is rising from the sea…" Her smile grew fainter. "And only you can stop it."
"Thank you! Thank you very much!" Kumiko smiled politely. "We will try!"
Sachiko was silent.
"Green Pearl Mermaid, is there something wrong?" She asked, in a gentle voice.
"Well, yes… That song… wasn't right." Sachi said fidgeting.
The beautiful woman giggled lightly.
"No, it did not. That is because it is not your song."
Sachi was confused.
"Well who's song was it then?"
"Your hearts."
Both girls were utterly confused.
"What do you mean…?" Sachiko began.
"Well, as you know, singing for good comes from the pureness of your hearts. But if you sing for hate, such as hating an enemy… such as you did before, the song will be different. Please, try to sing for the right reasons… Good luck, mermaid Princesses." Aqua-Regina faded away without another word.
"I think I get it…" Sachiko said after a moment.
"Well, what does it mean?" Kumiko questioned, still very puzzled.
"Aqua-Regina was telling us that if we sing for bad reasons, such as wanting to get rid of someone, or for the hate in our hearts, we will not succeed, and will not do well… But if we sing for the love of the people around us, and for the protection of the sea kingdoms, we should… prevail…" Sachiko thought aloud.
"Well… That makes sense…" Kumiko smiled.
"Hm…" Sachi was still not convinced. Kumiko suddenly embraced her in a large hug.
"I am so glad I found you! We have to save the sea, Sachi!" She smiled.
"Yes… I know…" Sachi looked off in the distance… She was not sure that this would be as easy as Kumiko was saying it would be.
"Come on, we'd better get going…" She began to swim off, toward the shore.
Sachiko looked back to where the villain was.
If this is really what Aqua-Regina wants us to do… We have to do it… But what I worry about is… how?"
