Chapter Ten: Ariel Song of Courage
"Hah hah" Jason panted as he looked to Kilala just as tired.
"Ha ha ha! Now that I have the tiara and the prince I Ursula, am now ruler of Atlantica in both name and reality!" she laughed putting the tiara on.
"What a hag" Jason said struggling to get his arms free from Flotsam and Jetsam.
"Now we celebrate! Celebrate the birth of a new Queen! I'll even let you participate in the celebration too bad the prince won't recognize you when he wakes up!" Ursula said.
'I need to do something' Jason thought looking around for something to help.
Swimming to Ursula lair Flounder coughed before collapsing
"Flounder! Are you okay?" Ariel asked picking him up.
"Ariel Flounder needs to rest we're too tired" Sebastian said.
"No! But if we stop now...Kilala and Jason!" Ariel said.
"Kilala...Jason...Ariel...I'm sorry" Flounder said as Ariel hugged him.
'What should I do?!' she thought as an idea hit her.
"Ariel?" Sebastian said.
'The only thing I can do now is give you both encouragement. Please let me sing with all my hears, let this song reach Kilala and Jason' she thought.
"My live you are my love. My love I want to stay with you forever."
"Wonderful! That's what I call singing!" Sebastian said.
"I want to look into your eyes. I want to love you all the time. Never let go of our dreams and hopes."
"Hmm?" Triton said hearing her song from the palace, "that voice."
"My love I want to stay with you forever."
"Who's singing this hideous song?!" Ursula yelled.
'Ariel? I can hear your voice! That's right even if I can't win I still have to try! Because I love Rei!' Kilala thought as she got up off the ground.
"I'm not going to let you do this Ursula!" Kilala yelled.
'Ariel song...gave her courage...' Jason thought.
"Ursula! You're not going to get your way!" Kilala yelled.
"Hmph! Shut your little mouth!" Ursula yelled as Kilala dodged her swing then she snatched the tiara off Ursula head "AH! CURSE YOU!"
"No!" Kilala said as Ursula tentacle wrapped around her body.
"I'll break you in half!"
'I can't give up! I have to save Rei! Tiara please' Kilala thought hugging it to her chest.
"YA!" Jason yelled smashing Flotsam and Jetsam head together as he summoned his keyblade and pointed it at Kilala as it hit the tiara as a bright light engulfed the room.
"Huh?!" Ursula said as the tiara floated then placed it's self on Kilala head.
'Please give me the power! Please give me the strength!' Kilala thought.
"NO! NOOO!" Ursula yelled before being set smashing into a wall and hit the ground out cold next to her eels.
"Oh my! The tiara defeated Ursula!" Kilala said.
"No Kilala you beat her!" Jason said.
"REI!" Kilala said as they swam to the shell on the wall and saw Rei still lying in it.
"Give him the Seaweed" Jason said.
"We have to get him to swallow the White Crown Seaweed but how?" Kilala said.
"Um..." Jason said whispering in her ear as Kilala blushed, "I would do it but I don't roll that way."
"Okay" she nodded put some in her mouth and chewed it as she grabbed Rei face and gave him the kiss of life.
'Rei please open your eyes!' she thought as Rei swallowed and Jason and Kilala watched as he opened his eyes.
"Kilala? Jason?" he said rubbing his head as he saw his missing legs and his now mermaid tail "...what happened to us?" he asked as Kilala backed away.
'But Rei and I are no longer...are no longer' she thought as he pulled her into a hug.
"Can we leave before that hag wakes up and tries to marry Rei again?" Jason said.
"She wanted to what?!" Rei said as they swam out of the cave with Jason and Kilala helping Rei use his new fins as they told them everything that happened.
"So were in Atlantica?" Rei said.
"Yep and the Princess of Heart here is Ariel the one who help save you" Jason said.
"Look!" Kilala said as they saw Ariel and the others.
"Kilala! Jason!" Ariel said hugging the two, "you made it!"
"Ariel! Thank you for saving me!" Kilala said.
"Girls I can't breathe!" Jason said trying to get free as the two broke apart.
"Rei! I'm glad you're feeling better!" Ariel said shaking his hand.
"Thanks. Kilala told me you save me" he said.
"You're welcome" she smiled,.
"Now that everyone's safe and sound let's celebrate!" Ariel said as Sebastian claw touched her shoulder.
"Not so fast, Ariel! This is no time for a party! We have to let everyone hear that beautiful voice of yours! That song you sang was beautiful!"
"HEY! WAIT! SEBASTIAN?!" Ariel said as he took her away, "HELP ME!"
"Sorry Ariel" Jason laughed as they all sat outside the palace as they filled Rei in on the rest of the stuff he missed.
"Really...all that happened while I was out" Rei said.
"I'm not too sure why we came to this world but it's really mysterious place" Kilala said.
"Yeah. The ocean's so beautiful, and everyone seems to be living here peacefully I wish I could stay here but I guess we need to find a way back" Rei said picking up the tiara, "there are things I have to take care of..."
"Rei...is it true that you're a princes?" Kilala asked as his eyes widen, "that's what I thought."
"I don't know if you'll believe me but I can't really remember but Rei is Rei it doesn't matter if I'm a prince or not" Rei said as he saw her head drop, "Kilala?"
"Sorry I should go check on Ariel" Kilala said swimming off.
"Hey! Wait!" Rei said.
'He's on a journey to find a princess but I'm not the one..' Kilala thought.
"Kilala!" Jason said following after her.
"Please, Sebastian!" Ariel yelled as she hung onto a beam, "I love singing but do I really have to?!"
"You just don't know when to give up! Everyone's waiting!" Sebastian said pulling on her tail.
"Oh! Kilala?" Ariel said seeing her approaching.
"Ariel..."
"What's wrong? Why aren't you with Rei?"
"It's no use, Rei lives in a different world."
"Huh?"
"I don't have anything I'm no good for him, Rei should be with someone more appropriate" she cired.
"Ariel, hurry!" Sebastian said.
"Ariel go sing" Jason said approaching as all the fish and merfolk gathered for the song.
"I'd do anything for. You give my courage and hope. This is the story of a brave little girl who's not scared of sharks or witches. The story of a girl who never lost her way" Ariel sang as she swam over to Kilala.
"There's nothing to worry about! Me, Flounder, Sebastian and Scuttle we're all cheering for you, Kilala!" Ariel said.
"So am I" Jason said.
"So what if you live in different worlds? Is that so important, you know what?" Ariel said taking Kilala hands and swam up to the lights coming down from the sun, "I want to fall in love like you, Kilala! Somewhere out in that big, wide world I'll find my Prince charming!" Ariel said.
"My destiny. You are my destiny my love. You are my true love. I know I'll see you along this path. Because I love you more than life itself. More than life itself" she sang pointing as Kilala looked over to see Rei smiling, "I just want to look into your eyes" she sang.
"What a beautiful melody. I'm proud of you Ariel" King Triton said from his throne.
"You really have to go so soon?" Ariel said.
"Thanks you for everything Ariel" Kilala said.
"No, I'm the one who should be thanking you! Come back to play sometime!" Ariel said.
"Sure I can get used to swimming like this" Jason smiled.
"Ohm and here's one more thing it should help you when you're in trouble" Ariel said handing Kilala a wrapped gift, "that and my treasure."
"Wow!" Kilala said opening it to see a blue gem in it, "Aquamarine!"
"Don't forget! Your future is in your hands!" Ariel said taking Kilala hands as the gem and tiara glowed.
"The gem is reacting to the tiara!" Rei said as the tiara floated in front of the two and placed it's self on one of the empty slots as a new door appeared.
"The door!" Jason said.
'Thank you, Ariel. Thank you everyone! Ariel, you're going to meet your prince charming real soon! I just know it!' Kilala thought as she Rei and Jason waved goodbye.
"Ready to go?" Rei asked holding out his hand.
'I'll never lose my way again...because I'll always be right beside Rei. Let's take a step forward believing in our future on the other side of the door' Kilala thought before taking his hand then entering the door light.
