"Maman, what do we do?" Felicity frowned to her mother.
"For right now, let's stay out of the water." Cherry said.
"Okay..." Felicity said softly. "I know you will think of something, you are very smart."
Cherry gave a small smile to that, but when Felicity looked away from her, she began to look nervous as she hadn't in so long.
"Last time I saw that face, it was at graduation." Mo commented.
"What are we gonna do?" Cherry asked. "Morgana is Atticus's family's enemy!"
"Well, one of us will have to use a spell to change Manta back to good, and the other one will have to fight Morgana while getting the trident back." Mo said.
"Maman, can't you?" Felicity asked. "You are very brave and not afraid of anything."
"Everyone gets scared, Fliss, even moms..." Cherry said.'
"But not you..." Felicity said. "Papa says you fear nothing."
"Um, well, that's not entirely true." Cherry said.
"I'll try to change Manta back before we learn to fear Evil Manta again." Atticus decided once he came with the kids who soon ran to Mo, huddling to her.
"If anyone can change him back to good, it's you." Cherry told her best friend.
"That's what I was thinking," Atticus replied. "Protect the kids."
"Don't die." Cherry replied.
"I won't." Atticus said.
"Just don't..." Cherry said before letting him go off.
"I just wish Aunt Ariel told Melody everything," Akito sighed. "None of this would've ever happened if she did!"
"Not helping." Estelle replied.
"Well, it's true!" Akito replied.
"Simmer down, Baby Atticus, there's no way Ariel could've known that this would happen." Cherry replied.
"WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME THAT?!" Akito snapped. "I AM SICK AND TIRED ALWAYS BEING CALLED THAT, JUST BECAUSE I ACT LIKE DAD WHEN HE WAS MY AGE DOESN'T MEAN I WANT TO ALWAYS BE CALLED THAT!"
Cherry winced slightly.
"I AM SO TIRED OF ALWAYS BEING CALLED BABY ATTICUS; JUST BECAUSE OF MY STRENGTH, SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS JUST A NORMAL BOY!" Akito shouted as crystal spikes suddenly showed up.
"But you're not a normal boy, now just calm down..." Cherry told him. "Besides, I always thought that was a compliment. You always talk about wanting to be like your father."
"Akito, just calm down; I understand that this situation is stressful and dangerous, but we can get through this together." Mo told her youngest son.
Akito just crossed his arms and looked angry.
"Settle down..." Cherry told him. "No good comes from anger."
"And those crystal spikes are a perfect example." Vincent said.
Akito glared, but he soon calmed himself down.
"Uh... I'm sorry if calling you Baby Atticus upsets you..." Cherry said. "You just remind me so much of your father of when we were younger."
Akito now felt terrible for snapping at his aunt.
"I'm sorry, if it bothers you that much... I'll stop." Cherry promised.
Akito didn't say anything, but was glad to hear she would stop if he really wanted her to.
"CHAAAARGE!" Atticus called out, going towards Manta like Rainbow Dash would for any danger.
Manta looked at Atticus before smirking as he was going to crush him in his hand. Atticus let out a battle cry and soon got hit which made some of the others wince.
"Don't let him get to you!" Cherry called out.
Atticus soon flew straight up at Manta's face before being smacked between Manta's hands.
"I can't watch this..." Cherry said, showing even she had standards.
"Hey, you big jerk!" Akito yelled out. "Leave my dad alone!"
"Akito!" Mo whispered sharply and worriedly.
"Get lost, little boy, the grown men are talking." Manta smirked as he smacked Akito away with his tail.
Akito fell back, but growled out of even more anger.
"Akito, stay with your mother and aunt." Atticus told his younger son.
"Finally, I shall be rid of you." Manta smirked as he now held Atticus in his right hand before tightening it into a fist, starting to crush Atticus.
"Aunt Cherry, do you know a reforming spell?" Vincent asked.
"Hmm..." Cherry paused in thought. "I know your Aunt Twilight had one before Discord ate it."
"Wow." Estelle said.
"Manta, think about what you're doing!" Cherry called out. "You don't have to help Morgana!"
Manta soon glared right at her.
"Uh, I may not know you really well, but we can be friends!" Cherry told him.
"And they say she's supposed to be scary." Morgana mocked Cherry, going to zap her next.
Atticus soon got himself free and used his magic to reform Manta back to good. "'Everything must go by the book, Turn Evil Manta from bad to good'!" Atticus recited which then freed him.
"That doesn't rhyme..." Cherry said.
"Hey, at least it worked." Atticus shrugged in defense.
"Hm..." Cherry shrugged back.
"What's happening?" Manta asked them.
"You went back to your old self..." Cherry said. "You also nearly hurt our kids in the process. I'm very angry."
Manta was confused of why he did that until he remembered the potion Morgana had threw at him.
"We good now?" Cherry asked.
"I'm sorry, Atticus, I'll make it up to you, and I think I know how," Manta said. "By helping you guys overthrow Morgana like you did before with Ursula."
"And I think I know just the ones to help us overthrow her." Atticus told him.
"You do?" Manta asked him.
Atticus soon whispered to Manta the two girls that would be able to overthrow Morgana.
"That might have to be." Manta said.
"I'm glad you think so, because I think it will work." Atticus replied.
They soon looked at Melody and Felicity.
"Fliss..." Cherry said.
"Oui, Maman...?" Felicity replied softly.
"I need you to be brave and bold..." Cherry told her, kneeling down to her height and put her hands on her shoulders.
"W-What?" Felicity gulped.
"Your uncle is right, you need to do this." Cherry told her.
"I... I cannot!" Felicity gasped and shook her head. "I'm not strong or brave enough! I am not like you, Maman, I'm not brave..."
"Yes, you are." Cherry said.
"I cannot..." Felicity frowned. "I'm sorry, Maman... Unlike you, I am always scared, I'll never be fearless like you."
"Yes, you will." Cherry told her.
"But Morgana-" Felicity frowned.
"Oh, Flick, listen to me," Cherry told her. "I know Morgana seems scary to you, but trust me, I've faced scarier than this. She's basically an underwater Vignette Valencia, all bark, but no bite. That means she's just making herself look big and loud and scary, but inside, she's just weak, and you're not. I may not spend a lot of time with you because of my job and life, but I believe in you... I have ever since I carried you for six months, and you'll make me proud, no matter what you say or do."
Felicity smiled as her mother had faith in her.
"FOOLS!" Morgana snapped which made a storm happen in the sky. "I have the trident now, and all creatures of the sea are in MY POWER!"
"You still think she's like Vignette?" Atticus asked.
"Yeah, just a wannabe villain, but nothing interesting." Cherry replied.
"You've got that right." Mo said.
"I'M THE QUEEN OF THE SEA!" Morgana yelled out as she controlled everyone with the trident. "AND YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME!"
"This can't be good for the lower back!" Tip cried out as he was forced to bow down.
"Pathetic fools! Watch and see how utterly powerful I can be!" Morgana continued. "The end begins for all of you with fins!"
"Okay, Melody, I'm not sure how, but my mother is right, we have to fix this." Felicity told Melody.
"No argument there." Melody nodded as she and Felicity soon rushed off to fix their mistake.
Triton watched as his army began to fall and his granddaughter was off to save the day.
"That's it, Triton," Morgana laughed as she was about to succeed where Ursula failed. "Bow down! Bow down before me!"
Triton tried to fight his own powers used against him, but he wasn't having much luck. Melody and Felicity were almost close to Morgana as they used the ice pillars as their way to get closer.
"No, Your Majesty, you mustn't!" Sebastian cried out.
"I'm sorry, Sebastian; I have no choice." Triton frowned as he soon bowed down to the sea witch.
"Oh! Wishes do come true~" Morgana cooed before grinning wickedly. "See that, Ma? Who's your favorite now?"
Melody and Felicty soon arrived.
"It's over, Triton," Morgana continued to mock. "I sentence you to oblivion!"
"So... Morgana wins the battle, and it's an unhappy ending for everyone..." Felicity muttered. "Evil rising... And no need for good guys... No longer important... No longer needed..." She then suddenly looked angry which was something that never happened before. "I THINK NOT!" She then tackled down Morgana with unholy strength as Melody took the trident.
"Yeah! That's my girl!" Cherry cheered.
"You!" Morgana glared to Melody and Felicity. "Just what do you think you're going to do with that?"
"Stay back!" Melody warned as she held out the trident, though not at the right way.
"Wrong end, sweetheart!" Morgana laughed to that before grabbing her with a tentacle.
"Melody!" Felicity yelped.
Melody grunted, but soon stabbed the other tentacle with the trident. Morgana soon yelled out to that and held her tentacle.
"Grandfather? I think this belongs to you." Melody called out before tossing the trident down to its rightful owner.
"No!" Morgana shouted as she shoved Melody and Felicity off.
Melody and Felicity soon screamed as they fell together.
Dash soon dove in and slid on the ice, saving them both on his stomach.
Triton then grabbed his trident, returning to its power for himself. "Never again will you or yours threaten my family. There will be no escape for you ever!" He then shot a blast at her, trapping her in an ice prison.
"Serves her right." Mo smirked.
"Can we break the ice?" Cherry suggested morbidly.
The ice pillars soon broke down and Morgana was going down with them.
"Not what I had in mind, but okay." Cherry shrugged.
"And she's going down." Akito smirked.
Tip soon ran across the ice to push Dash away from what was happening. A huge wave soon washed the ice all away since Morgana was defeated.
"Say hello to Marina for me." Manta grumbled as Morgana was going down, down, down into the sea.
"You both did it." Cherry smiled at Felicity and Melody.
"Maman... Your face..." Felicity whispered nervously.
"I'm smiling..." Cherry said as she hugged Felicity. "I'm so proud of you, dear."
Felicity was surprised by this before hugging her mother back.
Eric soon carried Melody in his arms in comfort and support.
"Dad?" Melody asked softly.
"Oh, Melody~..." Eric coaxed. "I was so afraid we'd lost you."
"You both did it." Akito smiled.
"I'm sorry, Mother." Melody frowned and hugged her mother.
"Oh, no, sweetie, we're sorry," Ariel frowned and hugged back. "We should have told you the truth."
"Yes, you should have." Cherry nodded before Mo nudged her.
"I didn't mean to hurt anyone," Melody frowned. "I just hoped... I'd be a better mermaid than a girl."
"Oh, Melody, sweetie, it doesn't matter if you have fins or feet," Ariel comforted. "We love you for who you are on the inside our very brave little girl."
"Just like your mother." Triton smiled softly.
"No doubt about it." Atticus smiled.
"Oh, Grandfather... Uncle Atticus..." Melody said to the adult men.
"Melody, I don't blame you for wanting to join us merfolk," Triton advised. "And because you're my granddaughter, I'm giving you a most precious gift a choice: you can come to Atlantica with me or you can return to your home on land. It's up to you."
Felicity had a suggestion for Melody and she had a feeling the black-haired girl would make the right decision. Ariel and Eric wondered what their daughter would choose.
Melody looked at them before smiling once she had an answer. "I have a better idea."
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Felicity smiled at Melody.
"I think I am." Melody smiled back to her.
