"Yay!" Fine and Rein high-fived as the Heroes were in the airship. "We did it!"
"We can finally visit Coral Town!" Rein said.
"Indeed, the Windmill Kingdom's Coral Town is the best beach resort in the Mysterious Star-pumo," Poomo said, piloting the ship. "But why do you want to go there so much-pumo?"
"We have wishes that we want to make come true in Coral Town," Rein said.
"I also want to eat the Windmill Kingdom's yummy food!" Fine said.
"Poyo!" Kirby cheered.
"Yeah, can't wait to work on my tan," Eddy grinned. "So hurry up, little fairy."
"Sheesh, you're such a slave driver-pumo." Poomo sighed as he drove, while Fine and Rein used the Decor Maker to make necklaces for their friends.
"I see the sea!" Ed said as they looked out of the window to see the vast blue ocean.
"It's the sea!" Aya said.
"This place must be Coral Town." Penny said.
"Poomo,"
"Land us." Fine and Rein said.
"Aye, aye, Sir-pumo!"
"Aw yeah, time for a beach episode!" Eddy said as they landed.
"Yay! It's the beach!" Fine and Rein cheered as they were in their swimsuits.
"It really is a splendid place" Double-D said as the Heroes were in swimsuits as well.
"Yeah, and there's no Shovel Chin here to take our shade!" Eddy said.
"Glad you two asked your dad for this." Sonic said.
"You two, we didn't come here to play-pumo." Poomo said, in a bathing suit and a floaty. "After all, this is part of your training as princesses-pumo!"
"Oh yeah, then why are you wearing that, then?" Eddy snarked.
"It's a uniform for the seaside-pumo."
"Yeah right."
They heard squealing as girls ran past them, avoiding getting trampled to death as the ladies cheered for a familiar bard.
"Ah, Nagi-Sama!"
"Of course that guy's here." Eddy grumbled as Nagino played his music.
Saki read a book while under a shade then she felt a drop on her head. "Huh?"
They Heroes stopped what they were doing as it began to rain.
"What? Oh come on!" Sonic said.
"I can't believe it's raining,"
"We can't see the stars if it's raining like this." Fine and Rein sighed.
"Stars? What do you mean by that?" Impa asked.
"Today is Shining Star Day, when countless stars fall over Coral Town." Fine explained.
"It's said that if you wish upon them, your wish will definitely come true." Rein finished.
"That's why we came all the way here!" The Twins said. "This rain is so..."
They danced to their "I Hate Dance" as they watched.
"What kind of dance is that?" Daruk asked.
"They do this alot when something goes wrong." Tails said.
"Oh! You're unhappy, right?" Said a voice as they looked around.
"Poomo, did you say something?" Penny asked the little fairy.
"It wasn't me-pumo."
"Then who was it?" Knuckles said.
"Really unhappy, right?" The Heroes looked down to see...
"A shellfish?" Rein said in confusion.
"Did the shellfish speak?" Fine asked.
"That's stupid-pumo. There's no way shellfish can speak-pumo."
"Well, you're a talking fairy thing." Eddy said.
"Though it looks quite delicious." Fine said.
"Oh no, please don't eat me!" The shellfish exclaimed making them jump as it opened to reveal a tiny girl inside of it.
"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Pearl-chan, the pearl shell princess."
"Pearl-chan?" Aya said.
"Are you a princess too?" Ed asked.
"Yes," Pearl nodded. "My job as a pearl princess is to make everyone's smiles as radiant as pearls."
"Ooh,"
"That's great."
"So I couldn't leave you unhappy people alone." Pearl said. "Just now you were grieving because you couldn't wish upon a shooting star, am I right?"
"Why yes you are," Zelda nodded. "They came all the way here to see them."
"Yes, but worry not. If you can't see stars on land, you can see them in the sea."
"In the sea?" The Twins said in confusion.
"The sea? Sorry, but I hate water and I can't swim." Sonic said.
"Mari-rin mari-rin, paru ruppa!" Pearl chanted as the Heroes were now surrounded in a huge bubble.
"Is this... a bubble?" Fine said, placing her hands in it.
"Wow, it's like our Prominence power!" Rein said.
"Hey, this reminds me of the Aqua Shield!" Sonic said.
The group were now floating the under the sea.
"Ah, great!" Fine said.
"It's my first time in the middle of the sea." Rein said.
"Me and Luigi go under the sea multiple times!" Mario said.
"Is it okay to skip your tennis and afternoon tea lessons-pumo?" Poomo asked.
"Come on little buddy, you need to chill out." Sonic said. "Can't you just stop and enjoy this beautiful place for a little? I get to be under the sea without drowning."
"Look, look, that seaweed looks delicious!" Fine said.
"Yum!" Ed said, pressing his face on the bubble.
"Those two need to be the ones to chill out." Eddy rolled his eyes.
"We're going to enter a tunnel here." Pearl said as they entered a cave and went through a tunnel. When they came out, they see tons of sea life.
"It's like a land of coral!" Penny said.
"It's so beautiful!" Aya said.
"Yes, this is the Sea Kingdom of the Mysterious Star." Pearl said.
"The Sea Kingdom?" Rein said.
"Yes, it's all thanks to the Blessing of the Sun that the sea animals can live here and that us our castle." Pearl pointed at a castle that is made of coral. "The Coral Castle of the Sea Kingdom."
"This is so amazing!" Zelda said. "Fine, Rein, do your parents know about this kingdom?"
"Well, it might be that know one knows." Fine said as she and Rein giggled.
Later, they were in the castle and had an audience with Pearl and her subjects.
"Yes, everyone here is a member of the Sea Kingdom." Pearl said as the subject introduce themselves, from a family of urchins, a moray eel, a puffer fish who's always angry, and a playboy seahorse.
"So many sea life here." Penny said.
"Why yes, that's what the Sea Kingdom has to offer." Said a penguin with an eyepatch looking like a pirate.
"This is Captain Peggy, he knows everything about the sea." Pearl said.
"Welcome, Twin Princesses and Heroes." Captain Peggy said.
"Hey Pearl, where's your mom and dad?" Knuckles asked as Pearl perked up.
"Father and Mother are carrying out a really important task."
"What kind of task?" Urbosa said.
"The sea is big." Captain Peggy spoke. "The royal family is scattered here and there. They are protecting different parts of the sea."
"Oh, really? That's alot of responsibility for someone young like you, Pearl." Bandana Dee said.
"Aren't ya lonely?" Dedede asked.
"Not in the least. If everyone is happy, then I'm happy too." Pearl said before perking up. "Oh, I forgot to introduce you to another friend. Mipha, come over here!"
"Mipha?" Zelda's eyes widened as they turned to a female-like figure walking in.
"Yes Pearl, I'm... Link? Everyone?" Mipha's eyes widen seeing her friends.
"Hey, long time no see!" Daruk grinned as Mipha gets tears in her eyes as she hugs them.
"Everyone, I'm so happy to see you!"
"We're happy to see you too!" Impa said as everyone watched the reunion.
"These bring tears to my eyes." Ed cried a waterfall.
"Hey Lumpy, no need to spread your tears of this kingdom!" Eddy said.
Peggy smiled as he turned to them. "Well then, shall we get going to see the shooting stars of the kingdom?"
"Really?" Fine and Rein said as Peggy whistled as his submarine came in.
"That's my ship, we'll be departing on it!"
"Yay!" The twins cheered.
They were in the sub as it swam through out the sea.
"I'm surprised we can all fit in this thing." Sonic said.
"So Mipha, how long were you here?" Impa asked.
"Well, ever since I was transported here, I was founded by Pearl and Peggy as they took me in. I hoped you all would find your way here." Mipha smiled.
"Well, all we need now is Revali and the Champions are back together again!" Daruk laughed.
"So many sea life here." Double-D said.
"It's only because of the Blessing of the Sun that the coral can shine." Pearl said as she gave them a tour of the Sea Kingdom. "Okay everyone, in a moment the ship will head for the sea shooting star viewing point, the Star Forest."
"That's my cue!" Peggy drove the ship to the said forest, but it is really dark.
"Um, it's dark here." Aya said.
"Are we going that deep?" Saki asked as Pearl perked up.
"Ah, that thicket of coral! Captain Peggy, please."
"Okay." Peggy nodded as he landed the ship and Pearl swam out to the withered coral.
"I wonder what's-a happening to the coral." Luigi said.
"A coral reef looks like trees, branches, and rocks, but it's only a home for the coral." Peggy explains. "The real coral are small creatures that live in masses there. The colors of the coral is there sign of their health. The white color is the evidence that they are weakened. If they're left like this, they will die."
"Eh!?" Fine and Rein gasped.
"Why is it like this?" Rein asked.
"Before, the Blessing of the Sun reached these parts and the coral was healthy." Peggy said. "These days, for some reason, the light doesn't reach this far."
"Pearl-chan will sing a song to make everyone better!" Pearl said as she began to sing a beautiful song which spread sparkles on the coral.
"Oh, wow." Penny said.
"Let's sing with her!" Fine said.
"Yeah!" Rein nodded.
And so, Fine, Rein, Aya, Penny and Mipha joined Pearl on her singing as it began to restore the coral.
"Look, the coral is healthy again!" Peggy said.
"Alright!" Sonic said.
Later, they continued going through the depths of the sea.
"Thank you for singing with me." Pearl thanked.
"Oh, I don't think we helped that much." Rein said.
"Well, we just had a feeling to join you." Penny smiled.
"It's good that the coral was cured." Fine said.
"The effects of the weakening of the Blessing of the Sun can be seen even here." Rein said.
"Yup." Fine nodded as Rein noticed something.
"What is it, Rein?" Tails asked.
"I thought I saw something big."
"A ghost? Stop it!" Fine cried as they noticed a giant figure outside.
"Eek! What's that!?"
"Yes, this is the biggest squid in the sea, the giant squid." Pearl said.
"It's huge!" Rein said.
"But this one is just a baby." Peggy said.
"Wait, if that's a baby, then..." Eddy said as the others see an even bigger squid that made Fine scream.
"It's the mama squid." Pearl said.
"Aw, it's with it's mommy." Ed waved as the two squids swam away together.
"They're swimming away together-pumo."
"You mustn't stray away from your mother." Pearl said as the group noticed her melancholy look but then she noticed something.
"Eh, I never seen that fish before."
"What do you mean, Pearl?" Mipha asked.
"Is it another giant squid?" Eddy asked.
"Um... I don't think that's a giant squid..." Aya said as the group sees a giant glowing yellow eye.
"Oh no..." Mario gasped as the giant eye belonged to a giant skeleton fish.
"AAAAAHHH! A GHOST FISH!" Fine cried in fear as she hugged Rein.
"It's-a Kingfin!" Luigi said as Kingfin looked at them and roared.
BGM: Kingfin (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Hold on, everyone!" Peggy said he drove the sub away from the giant skeleton fish as it chased after them.
"Me and-a Luigi will handle this!" Mario said as he and Luigi got out of the sub and went after Kingfin.
"I'll help!"
"Me too!" Mipha swam out and even Penny cause she is now water-proof.
"Poyo!" Kirby and his gang swam after them and so did Ed.
"I am King Neptune, king of the sea!"
Kingfin roared as he summoned skeletal fish that swam after them as Mario and Luigi punched or kicked away.
Ed gained a turtle shell as Luigi grabbed him and threw him to Kingfin, taking damage.
Mipha swam in and stabbed the giant skeletal fish multiple times as Penny manipulated the earth and threw them to hit Kingfin.
Kingfin roared as it shoots a beam of light out of his eyes, blinding some of them as it swam in, ramming them with his head.
"Ouch!" Luigi rubbed his head as Mipha healed him.
Dedede swung his hammer at Kingfin, knocking away a piece as Bandana Dee stabbed him in the weak point and so did Meta Knight.
"Poyo!" Kirby cried as he Inhaled some water, gaining a water hat.
"Water Kirby!" Bandana Dee cried as the puffball launched water attacks at the giant skeleton fish.
Kingfin gets enraged as he summoned skeletal sharks towards them as Penny and Mipha fought them off.
The giant skeleton swam in, hoping to take a bite out of the two girls but then Knuckles swam in and nailed the thing, making it's skull crack.
"Now guys!" Knuckles exclaimed as Ed tucked into his shell and spun so fast then Luigi kicked him hard enough to Kingfin, piercing it's skull as it roared in pain then it exploded to bits.
BGM End
"We win, we lose!" Ed said as they entered back into the submarine and continued on their exhibition.
"Now, the moment you've been waiting for, the Star Forest." Peggy said as they walked out of the sub in a bubble as they nothing.
"What Star Forest?" Eddy said, looking around. "There's nothing here!"
"Even if you say Star Forest..."
"We can't see a single thing." Fine and Rein said.
"It's okay, I'm sure the stars will make your wishes come true." Pearl said as Fine looked up and gasped.
"A star!"
"You're right!" Rein said.
"There's space in the ocean you guys!" Ed grinned.
"That's highly impossible, Ed" Double-D said.
"You know, that's not a real star." Peggy chuckled. "You see, that's coral laying eggs."
"So those things that look like shooting stars are something like coral eggs?" Sonic asked.
"Yes, when eggs laid by coral spread around, they glow like shooting stars."
"But they look like shooting stars." Aya said.
"For us who live in the big sea, it is the real night sky." Peggy said. "This space is the source of life."
"It's wonderful." Zelda smiled.
"Yeah, like-a real shooting stars." Mario said as they stared in awe as they see a big glowing coral tree.
"Have to make a wish!" Fine and Rein said as they put their hands together and closed their eyes.
"I want to make a wish too!" Ed said as everyone did the same, saying their wishes.
"Hey Pearl, don't you want to make a wish?" Sonic said.
"Don't you have anything to wish for?" Double-D asked.
"N-No, my only wish is for everyone to be happy." Pearl said with a fake smile.
"Is that so?"
"That's such a shame with all these shooting stars." Fine and Rein said.
"Really, I shouldn't be wishing..." The Heroes noticed tears pouring out of her eyes.
"Pearl?" Mipha said in worry.
"Huh, what?" Pearl said, wiping her tears. "This is strange. Why? I'm supposed to be very happy. There's nothing to wish for! Really... happy..."
Everyone looked in worry as Peggy walked up to her.
"Princess Pearl, you can't be happy just by telling yourself you are. Happiness is something you feel." He gently pats her head. "It must be lonely to live without the king and queen. I hope you can see each other again soon."
Pearl cried as she hugged Peggy. "Y-Yes, I really want to see my dad and mom!"
She cried as everyone looked in sympathy.
"Poor thing, she really wants to see her parents." Saki said.
"She said she can't be selfish as a princess and she kept it all to herself." Fine said.
"But she really wanted to see her dad and mom after all." Rein said.
"I still love my mom and dad even though they favor Sarah." Ed said.
"Let's do something for her!" Fine said.
"Yes!" Rein nodded as they took out their Sunny Luches than transformed.
"My word." Mipha said the two held their scepters.
"Twin twinkle bloomish! Make Pearl-chan's wish come true!" They chanted as a pot appeared and fell on Ed.
"Hello?" The lump looked around as Double-D took it off.
"A pot?" Double-D said as he checked it out.
"What's an old pot gonna do?" Eddy said.
"Keep that away from Link, he likes to break those alot." DK chuckled.
"It's okay, I thank you two." Pearl said. "Father and Mother are protecting the sea in different places. Even if I couldn't meet them, it would be troublesome for everyone. It's enough to know how you feel, really."
"Pearl."
"Mother?" Pearl gasped as her tears flew into the pot and it gets filled with water.
"The pot is filled with water-pumo." Poomo said as Pearl looked in it as it formed into a reflection of her parents.
"Mother? Father?"
"Water flows through the ocean, streams on the land, and then returns to the sea."
"No matter how far apart we end up being, we will never be separated. We are connected through the water."
"Dad! Mom!" Pearl cried happily.
"If you want to see us anytime, just feel the water."
"Your dad and mom are there."
"Would you sing, Pearl?"
Pearl smiled as she sang her beautiful song as the Heroes watched with smiles on their faces.
"Thank you very much. Thanks to you, I'm happy again." Pearl said as they were back in the Coral Castle.
"You made us pretty happy too!"
"It was really splendid!" Fine and Rein said.
"Guess it's time for us to leave." Sonic said.
"And Pearl, I'll be sure to visit sometime." Mipha said as Pearl smiled before taking out a box.
"Please accept this treasure box as thanks."
"Treasure, aw yeah!" Eddy said as everything went blurry and they were back on the beach.
"Hey, we're back." Tails said.
"But something feels different." Saki said as they noticed the box.
"A treasure box?"
"The one we got from Pearl-chan?" Fine and Rein said.
"Let's open it!" Ed said as they opened it.
"Pearls!" Fine and Rein said.
"Pearls? Whoo-hoo!" Eddy said.
"Look, a letter." Zelda said as she picked up a letter.
"Time flows slowly in our Sea Kingdom. The flow is perhaps different from the surface world."
"Different flow of time? What does that mean?" Eddy said.
"Oh dear, perhaps during the time we were in the Sea Kingdom, even more days have passed on the surface." Double-D said as the twins paled.
"And that means..."
"No way..."
"It's the last day of our vacation." Saki sighed.
"OH NO!"
"OH COME ON!" Eddy cried. "WE BARELY HAD ANY RELAXATION!"
Bloodyguy A/N:
Hey guy, sorry this took a while. Knightmare Lord got nothing else to add in this chapter so, yeah.
