Me: Welcome to Chapter 15, people! I have a feeling that I have broken the record for writing the longest chapter in this story several times.
Saito: Where in the world do you have the time to write such a long chapter?
Me*smiling*: It's a secret.
Azumi: Would you believe that so many people are asking this story to be the season 3 of Mermaid Melody?
Me: Yeah but I doubt it will happen.
Suzuka: But what if it does happen?
Me *smiling*: Dreams come true!
*We laughed.*
Suzuka: Thank you so much everyone for being patience and continue to review and like this story.
Saito: Zahir890 does not own Mermaid Melody. Just the Ocs.
Azumi: And now Let Chapter 15 begin!
All four of us: HOORAY!
Chapter 15: Panthalassa Rescue.
Morning at Maki's beach cafe:
"Do we still have to be here even though no one's coming?" Gaito grumbled.
"Oh come on. Don't be so grumpy." Sara said, "We have nothing to do today."
"Yeah and we have no school today." Luchia said.
"Which doubles the boredom." Kaito said.
"Well, at least, we can peace in our minds." Hippo said.
"Let's talk about a love story." Yuri said happily.
Everybody laughed. Then they all began to think about what ever happened in two days.
"Seems to us that we had a mixture of pain and blast within two days." Nikora said.
"Yeah. At evening, the former mermaid princesses comes and has a chat with us, then out comes a water demon in the evening and then had us on backfoot." Hanon said.
"Then our boyfriends rescued us indirectly and we defeated the water demons." Rina said, "The former mermaid princesses also turned into idol forms as well."
"And then we showed your boys our idol forms and then they had a wonderful dinner with us in here." Seira said.
"Do you think it will happen again like what happened in two straight days?" Maki asked.
"It could be or may not be." Nikora said, "But we have to be prepared."
"Yeah. The water demon octopus taunted us a lot while The water demon with horns tortured us a lot." Luchia said, "Who knows? Maybe the next water demon might do both."
Everyone nodded. Taki smiled at Nikora.
"You are engaged with Maki, right?" Taki smiled.
"Yeah but why ask?" Nikora asked curiously.
"Would you tell us how he was able to discover your mermaid form?"
"Ohhh!" Everyone said and looked at Maki and Nikora who are red in their faces!
"How...How did you know about that?" Maki blushed and stammered.
"Masahiro told me about that yesterday." Taki smiled.
"He...He did?" Nikora was shocked.
"Yep."
Everyone looked at Maki and Nikora with smiles on their faces.
"Well Nikora. It seems you have a lot of explaining to do." Rina smiled.
"Even Nagisa told me about it but I thought of bringing that issue later which is now." Taki said.
"Do you have anything to say, Maki-san?" Hanon teased.
"But...But I thought you know about it already." Nikora stammered, "It's almost the same thing as what happened with Nagisa's parents."
"But we would like to know about it in details." Gaito smirked.
"Well..." Maki gulped.
"Come on. Tell us." Yuri said.
"Please! Please! Pretty Please?" Seira pleaded.
Everyone was curious to here about it but Nikora and Maki are too nervous to tell about it. Luchia noticed at first.
"Guys! They are not in the mood to tell." Luchia said, "You can tell us later."
"You can tell us if you are okay." Kaito said.
"We're truly sorry if we are pressuring you." Sara apologized.
"You can tell us later." Taki said.
"Thanks guys." Maki sighed in relief.
"We will tell you guys all about it." Nikora smiled, "So let's relax for now."
Everyone nodded as they can't wait to hear Maki's and Nikora's narrative about Maki finding out Nikora's Mermaid Form. A few minutes later, they heard voices coming from outside.
"Yesterday was the most craziest day I have ever been." A voice said, "The sky color had changed so many times starting from evening."
"What about the day before yesterday?" Another voice said.
"They didn't mind that because everyone thought that it was a storm which it wasn't. That can happen. But yesterday! My God! Many people were left spinning on their heads."
"But it was really cool. I like the green sky the most."
"I have to admit yeah. I hope to see the yellow sky. My mom hoped so."
Luchia and others gasped.
"I know one of the voice." Hanon said happily, "It's Nagisa."
"But what about the other one?" Hippo asked.
"We know him at school." Kaito smiled.
The voices are closing in.
"Anyway. I can't wait to see this cafe as you told me. I'm excited to see some familiar faces as you said." One voice is none other than Hotoshi as he and Nagisa entered the cafe.
"You mean those familiar faces?" Nagisa smiled as he pointed at Kaito and others.
Hotoshi looked and was shocked that Kaito and others are here. They are all smiling at them.
"Well hello boys. Welcome to the cafe." Rina smiled.
"Wait...What...How?" Hotoshi was so shocked that he was confused, "You guys work here?"
"Why yes Hotoshi-kun. We all work here and know each other very well." Luchia smiled.
"Since when?"
"Since a long time ago." Kaito said.
"Wow Nagisa. Thanks for bringing him here." Hanon smiled.
"I told him about this cafe. He is very excited and told me to go there. I also told him that you should see some familiar faces so that..." Nagisa said before saying this slowly to Hanon, "So that I can give him one heck of a surprise."
"Well you already did." Hanon smiled before giving him a kiss on his cheeks which luckily no one saw it.
"Thanks."
Hotoshi remained silent for a minute before he jumped happily in delight.
"WOW PAL! This is really a coincidence!" Hotoshi said happily and said "Wow!" 3 times before saying to Nagisa, "Let me tell you that this was one heck of a surprise you gave me there."
"Thanks Hotoshi." Nagisa smiled, "What do you think?"
"I think it's Super Awesome! Who would have thought that they also work here?"
"We don't work here everyday, Hotoshi." Rina said, "It's just a part time job for us."
"Ah I see. Anyway, how are hanging out with Masahiro?"
"Me and Masahiro are completely fine."
While they are chatting, Maki approached them.
"It seems that you know them very well." Maki smiled, "What's your name?"
"Shidou Hotoshi." Hotoshi said happily as he rubbed Nagisa's hair "Nagisa's best pal for life!"
"I see. I'm Maki by the way. I own this beach cafe."
"Whao! You own this? Well then, how do you fare well?"
"A lot of customers come here almost everyday." Hanon said, "But not today."
"I see. Hey! How are you hanging out with my pal?"
"Me and Nagisa are so awesome. I even know how to ride a bike from him."
"Wait! You do?"
"Yep. She just saw my movements and she did it." Nagisa smiled.
"Wow! Congratulations! Show me if you have any time."
"I will." Hanon said happily.
"Kaito? I haven't seen you surfing for a while. Are you very busy?"
"Yeah we are." Kaito said, "But hey! If I do surf, I will be sure to invite you and Nagisa to see me surf."
"And I see him surf everyday." Luchia said happily.
"You do?" Hotoshi asked, "Like how much percent?"
"100%." Nagisa said.
"100%?!"
Luchia nodded with a smile.
"Luchia. Don't tell me that you have fallen in love with him." Hotoshi said in shock.
"Well. I am in love with him." Luchia smiled.
"Oh wow! Well Kaito, you better not let the fangirls hear about it or else..."
"My fangirls always chase me." Kaito sighed.
"Wow! Tough luck."
"Well Nagisa. It's a good thing that you have brought him." Maki said, "I'm excited to see him."
"Thanks Maki." Nagisa smiled.
But while Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Kaito, Maki, Nagisa and Hotoshi are chatting. Nikora, Gaito, Sara, Hippo, Yuri, Seira and Taki stared at Hotoshi, clearly being SHELL-SHOCKED!
Do you know why? It's because Hotoshi's eye and hair color is yellow! Seeing him reminded them of Coco, who is the Mermaid Princess of the South Pacific Ocean. They slowly discussed each other so that others won't hear.
"My God. It can't be." Gaito gasped, "It just can't be..."
"Could he be the son of the Former Mermaid Princess of the South Pacific Ocean?" Sara asked.
"Or just a son of a mermaid from the South Pacific Ocean kingdom?" Seira said. She is also shocked.
"It could be either of them." Nikora said, "Look at him. He has the same yellow eye color and same yellow hair color just like Coco."
"I wonder if Nagisa and his parents knows about it." Taki said.
"Probably 50-50, Taki-san." Yuri said, "Or it could be none."
"Yuri-san. It's 50-50." Hippo said clearly in shock, "Let's ask him and check his reaction later."
"Let's also discuss this with others once Hotoshi and Nagisa leaves." Taki said in which everyone nodded.
"Uh? People? What's up?" Hotoshi asked curiously.
"Oh! It's just that we are happy to meet you." Nikora smiled.
"I think I never met you before. What are your names?"
"I'm Nikora."
"Seira."
"Hippo."
"Taki."
"Sara."
"Gaito."
"Yuri."
Hotoshi looked at Gaito, Sara and Yuri suspiciously. He clearly remember that his mom told him that they went on rampage and captured their mermaid princess. But he wondered why are they here still because he thought that they were gone long ago.
"Hmm. Wasn't that Sara who was the best friend of the South Pacific Mermaid Princess and who went on rampage because her love one left her and Gaito and Yuri who captured the mermaid princess my mom told me about?" Hotoshi thought, "Why are they here?"
"Is there something wrong, Hotoshi?" Sara asked.
"Uh No! It's just that I'm curious to meet you guys." Hotoshi said happily.
But they all know that Hotoshi is lying. Even Luchia and others could simply tell that Hotoshi looked at them with suspicion.
"I think it's confirmed that he is either the son of the former mermaid princess or just a mermaid from South Pacific Ocean." Gaito whispered.
"Not yet. We have to know more about him." Sara whispered back.
"If he stared suspiciously at us it means that he was well-aware of what we did before as mom must have told him about it." Yuri said slowly.
"I think so Yuri-sama." Hippo said.
"I wonder if Nagisa knows about it." Taki said.
"I have no idea." Seira said.
"Well boys. It seems that you have come to eat right?" Nikora smiled in which both boys nodded, "Why not you sit and I'll bring some food for you."
"It will take sometime. So please be patience." Maki said as he and Nikora left.
"Oh Wow! I can't wait to eat their food. It will be so exciting right?" Hotoshi asked happily.
"Yep. It sure is." Nagisa said.
"Maybe. Just maybe Gaito, Yuri and Sara were forgiven. I better keep a close eye on them." Hotoshi thought.
So both of the boys sat down.
"Hotoshi-kun. What's your favorite color?" Luchia asked.
"My die-hard favorite color is Yellow." Hotoshi said happily, "It's because Yellow Yellow is an awesome fellow!"
"There's the third reason." Hippo said slowly to Yuri.
Yuri nodded and wrote down three reasons.
"Hotoshi. Since when did you become best friends with Nagisa?" Seira asked.
"Since he transferred to our school." Hotoshi said.
"Within 2 or 3 days." Nagisa said.
"Yep."
"Hotoshi. We heard you were talking about what happened yesterday." Gaito said.
"Oh that! It was the most craziest but awesome day in our lives." Hotoshi said happily, "First red, then green, then back to the evening skies and again green skies at night and back to the night sky."
"Wait. Did all of them saw the green sky?" Rina was surprised as she thought that Masahiro's locket would flash and everything would became green within his distance.
"Not all people saw the green sky but you can say about 30% of the people saw it. And today many people are talking about it."
"It even headline the news both in Japan and the world." Nagisa said in which everyone was shocked.
"World News?!" Hippo gasped in shock.
"Yeah. We don't have the article but we have the title of it." Hotoshi said, "Check it out."
So Nagisa and Hotoshi gave two articles: one is domestic and one is international.
International:
JAPAN WITNESS SKY COLOR CHANGE 5 TIMES!
Scientist are clueless about what led to these events yesterday.
Domestic:
FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THAT THE SKY COLOR CHANGED NOT ONE BUT 5 TIMES!
Scientist to hold a meeting today to discuss the event that occurred yesterday.
Everyone was surprised and they all say "Wow!"
"As soon as my mom saw these articles she was extremely excited and told me that if the sky color changes to yellow then she will take me and my dad outside to see it." Hotoshi said happily.
"I just wish there was aqua sky." Nagisa said.
"We all saw that the sky color changes." Hanon said, "Including green."
"Whoa! You saw all 5 of them?" Hotoshi asked in which everyone nodded, "How was it then?"
"It was a really memorable moment for us." Taki said.
"Yeah and besides, it happens once in a life time." Yuri said.
"But you can really hope that there could be yellow or aqua skies." Kaito said.
"We hope so too." Both boys said.
"Okay boys. Here's your food." Nikora said as she and Maki gave the plates full of food.
"Enjoy." Maki said.
Everyone smiled as Nagisa and Hotoshi began to eat.
10 minutes later:
"Well. How was it?" Luchia smiled.
"It was awesome." Nagisa smiled as he wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"I...feel...like I'm in heaven." Hotoshi said dreaming.
Everyone looked at Hotoshi. Suddenly Hotoshi jumped up and said.
"Tell me that you use magic to make such an excellent food." Hotoshi said.
"Well we didn't use magic. We use hands." Maki smiled.
"But how did you make such delicious food?"
"It's a secret." Nikora smiled and winked.
"My God! Your food is so awesome that I feel like I'm in the top of the world! If the judges taste it, you will get first prize no doubt about it!"
"We're glad that you like it." Luchia smiled.
"Thanks pal. That was really worth trying. Now I feel like coming here everyday."
"Hey Hotoshi. If you're happy then everyone's happy." Nagisa smiled.
"This is really awesome. I'm gonna tell my mom and dad about this."
It was then everyone looked at each other.
"Guys." Hippo said.
Everyone nodded. Then they looked towards Hotoshi.
"Hotoshi-kun. Can you please tell answer this question?" Luchia asked, "And tell us honestly."
"Sure." Hotoshi smiled, "What do you want to ask?"
"Hotoshi. What does your mom do?" Hippo asked.
Hotoshi is shocked and he gulped. His sweat is trickling down his body.
"M...Mo...Mom?!" Hotoshi asked in shock.
Everyone nodded. Hotoshi is now in dilemma. What should he do?
"Oh Crap! They are asking me about it. Maybe I should tell that I'm the son of a mermaid from South Pacific Ocean." Hotoshi thought but then, "No! I mustn't tell or else my mom's gonna turn into bubbles."
"Hotoshi. What are you gonna do now? You are trapped." Nagisa thought. Even he is a bit frightened.
Hotoshi then suddenly had an idea.
"Well you see. My mom is a...housewife!" Hotoshi said happily, "Isn't it Nagisa?"
"Yep. It sure is." Nagisa smiled.
But the others knew that Hotoshi is lying. Hanon was a bit surprised that Nagisa believed it. This lead to her suspicion that Nagisa might know about Hotoshi's parents. The others didn't really want to pressurize Hotoshi and pretended to accept it.
"Well Hotoshi. Thanks for the answer." Nikora said.
"It's really good to meet you Hotoshi." Maki smiled, "We hope to see you again."
"I'm also hoping to see you again as well." Hotoshi smiled, "Well Nagisa. Let's hope into the arcades after hanging around at my house."
"Will sure do." Nagisa smiled.
"Nagisa. Thank you so much for bringing him here." Hanon smiled, "I hope to see you again."
"I hope to see you too."
And so Nagisa and Hotoshi left but before Hotoshi left, he gave one last suspicious stare at Yuri, Gaito and Sara. Sighing, he left.
Everyone became silent for a few minutes before Luchia realized one thing.
"Maki-san! What have you done?" Luchia asked in shock.
"But do you mean what have I done?" Maki asked in surprise.
"You forgot to ask them to pay for the food." Kaito said.
"WHAT?!"
Everyone realized it and started to laugh at Maki's foolish mistake.
"Oh dear. Two lucky boys had the food for free." Hanon smiled.
"Well they might be lucky but next time we will catch them." Nikora said.
"Well better luck next time Maki-san." Seira smiled.
"Well, as Yukito said, sometimes mistakes do happen." Taki said.
"I was so caught up about Hotoshi that I forgot to ask them about the bill." Maki said sadly.
"Speaking about Hotoshi..."
Everybody cheered.
"Well it seems like we have finally knew that either he is the son of the former mermaid princess or a mermaid from South Pacific Ocean." Luchia said happily.
"Yeah. We knew from him indirectly even though he didn't tell us." Hanon smiled.
"I don't think he is the son of the former mermaid princess from South Pacific Ocean." Rina said.
"How so?" Seira asked
"Remember what Naoki said? The book went to North and South Atlantic Ocean before it stopped at North Pacific Ocean."
"But it doesn't matter. Coco can still reveal her true form to Hotoshi if she loves him." Kaito said.
"I'm just reminding you guys."
"We knew that from the series of clues." Hippo smiled.
"And what are they?" Maki asked with curiosity.
"One is that his eye color and hair color is totally yellow, just like Coco and other mermaids from South Pacific Ocean." Sara smiled.
"The second one was that he stared at us suspiciously." Gaito said, "Which means he was well-aware of the bad things we did before."
"The third thing was that his favorite color was yellow and that his mom plans to take him there if there are yellow skies." Nikora said.
"And finally Hotoshi was in a nervous whack when we asked him about his mother." Yuri said.
"Which all adds up to the final conclusion." Taki smiled, "That he is a son of a mermaid from South Pacific Ocean."
"Well let's not tell that directly to Hotoshi or else he will be upset." Luchia said, "Let's think as if he is just an ordinary kid."
"I wonder if Nagisa knows about it?" Hippo asked.
"He knows." Hanon said.
Everyone looked at Hanon.
"How did you know?" Seira asked.
"I noticed Nagisa's reaction when we asked Hotoshi that question. He was also afraid and believed Hotoshi's answer." Hanon said.
"So he knows it as well." Nikora said.
"Anyway let's keep that out from our heads for now and get ready to hear Nikora's and Maki's story." Rina smiled.
"Do you have to remind that?" Nikora and Maki whined.
Everyone smiled at Nikora and Maki.
Afternoon:
There were only a few customers there. This gives the others are sigh of relief except Nikora and Maki who gulped because...
"Nikora. Let's face it." Maki sighed, "Looks like we will have to tell them."
"I know that but I don't know why they want to hear it." Nikora said gloomily.
"Finally. I can finally relax in peace after two hectic afternoons." Gaito said.
6 minutes later:
All the few customers have left and the cafe is now empty. Luchia and others all smiled at Nikora and Maki.
"Well Maki-san. Looks like no one is here." Luchia smiled.
"Now it's the perfect time to tell us about how you found Nikora's mermaid form." Hanon said happily.
"You said that you will tell later." Rina said, "But now this is the moment."
"But...But I thought that you knew it already." Maki gulped.
"In details please." Kaito said.
"Yeah and beside it's worth it because who knows when will the next water demon attack us next." Gaito said.
"Wait. When did Maki-san found Nikora-san's mermaid form?" Seira asked.
"At night when Nagisa, Masahiro and their parents had a wonderful family reunion with Saito, Azumi and Suzuka." Sara smiled.
"Come on. Tell us." Hippo and Yuri pleaded.
"Don't think of escaping again, eh?" Taki smiled evily.
Nikora and Maki had no choice. They nodded with a sigh.
"HOORAY!" Everybody cheered as they sat down to listen to Nikora's and Maki's narrative.
"Alright then but you do at least that it's almost similar to what happened to Nagisa's parents." Nikora said.
Everyone nodded.
"Well then it all started with this..." Maki and Nikora began.
Flashback:
Nikora and Maki were enjoying a night date on Maki's boat. Luckily others are sleeping so there is no one to watch them.
"It's really beautiful isn't it?" Maki asked smiling.
"It sure is." Nikora smiled, "Luckily no one is there to see us."
"I agree with you."
They smiled at each other and then looked at the stars.
"I really feel like I am in the Titantic." Maki said.
"Titantic?" Nikora asked about it.
"You don't know about it?"
Nikora shook her head gleefully.
"Well it was once a big ship that was claimed as unsinkable but it did sunk in the end in 1915." Maki said.
"I see."
After a few minute silence. Nikora said this to Maki:
"I'm really sorry that I turned down your proposal. I hope you weren't offended by it."
"No Nikora. I'm fine with it. I respect your decision." Maki smiled, "At least you didn't completely reject me."
"I won't because I really like you."
Both of them smiled. They are enjoying themselves for sometime when suddenly some strong waves are pushing the boat.
"Nikora. The current is drifting us. You stay here while I steer the boat." Maki said in which Nikora nodded.
And so Maki went to try to control the boat. He was able to do so but then suddenly the strong winds are blowing by making it very difficult to control the boat. The waves began to move violently.
"Maki. You can't control it. The waves are too strong!" Nikora said in panic.
"Don't worry. When there is a will there is a way." Maki said.
"I don't see any way now!"
It's true. They were a bit far away from the beach. Maki then knew it's impossible to control the water. The waves are moving violently and the waves are getting too strong. At one point, it seemed that Maki and Nikora might be thrown out of the boat. Luckily but unfortunately, the boat is heading straight to the rocks!
"Maki. We are gonna crash!" Nikora cried in fright.
"Then we have only one option." Maki said, "JUMP!"
Nikora gulped but she had no other choice so both of them jumped.
And soon the waves became normal again after a few minutes of strong current and the wind's speed is decreasing a little. Maki scrambled on the rocks.
"NIKORA! NIKORA!" Maki called out but to no avail. He searched every way but then after sometime...
He saw Nikora with her purple fins. The next thing he realize, Nikora is a mermaid!
"No..way. It can't be." Maki gasped as he swam to another rocks where Nikora is there.
He then tapped on Nikora's shoulder. She then leapt in fright and was even in more fright when she saw Maki.
"M...Maki?" Nikora gasped.
"Why...Why didn't you tell me that you are a mermaid?" Maki asked in shock.
"If I do so then I'll turn into bubbles. I would have never seen you again."
And then Nikora started to cry. Maki hugged her so that she can calm down.
"There There. Don't cry Nikora." Maki said, "But then you are not turning into bubbles."
"Well..." Nikora tried to say something but failed to do so. Suddenly she remembered what Naoki said:
"If your lover sees you in your mermaid form then you won't turn into bubbles. But if you say that you are a mermaid to him then you will turn into bubbles."
"You saw me right now that's why I didn't disappear." Nikora said.
"So you got lucky." Maki said.
Nikora nodded.
"I think that's why you turned down my..." Maki was about to finish but Nikora put her finger at his lips. She then smiled at him.
"No Maki. I changed my mind." Nikora smiled, "I accept your proposal."
Maki was clearly shell-shocked.
"You...You do?" Maki asked in shock.
"Yep. You now know my mermaid form and I only turned down your proposal because you didn't know about my true form at that time." Nikora said, "But now I've nothing to hide from you."
Maki was so extremely happy that he hugged Nikora.
"I'm so happy to hear that from you Nikora." Maki said happily but then sadly said, "Sorry I don't have the ring right now."
"It's okay Maki. You can give it to me later." Nikora smiled.
Both of them smiled at each other and they kissed under the night skies.
Back to the present:
"Oh My God! You accepted Maki-san's proposal." Luchia said happily, "I'm so happy for you."
"And you kissed." Hanon said happily in which Nikora and Maki blushed.
"Well. Congratulations you two." Rina smiled.
"Are you going to get married?" Yuri asked smiling.
"Not now. Later." Maki said.
"But you are in a legal age to get married." Kaito said.
"You think we will get married straight away just because we are on a right age to get married?" Nikora asked scornfully.
"Nikora-san is right." Hippo said, "They have to think about their future first."
"But Maki has found out Nikora's mermaid form. And she is lucky not to turn into bubbles." Gaito said.
"Which means your future is secured." Sara smiled.
"Don't worry you two." Seira smiled, "I'll be sure to invite everyone to your marriage."
"Uh...Thanks." Maki blushed.
"Wonderful. Truely Wonderful." Taki smiled and clapped.
Everyone smiled and clapped and cheered.
"Shouldn't we get serious by now?" Hippo asked.
"Huh?!" Everyone stared at Hippo.
"Why serious?" Yuri asked curiously.
"Because evening is coming and the water demons might attack us." Hippo said, "Do you remember what happened within two days?"
Everyone nodded and started to prepare themselves for another battle just in case. Maki and Nikora sighed in relief.
"Well at least I should thank Hippo for changing the subject." Nikora said slowly.
"Let's hope nothing bad happens in the evening." Maki sighed.
Evening:
Surprisingly nothing did happen in the evening. No screams and shouts from the people, no evil laughs from the water demons. Everyone was surprised but sighed in relief.
"Finally and really finally I can have peace at last." Gaito said in relief.
"It seems like they are afraid that they will suffer the same fate like what happened to the water demon octopus and that water demon with horns." Luchia said.
"I also think that they will be afraid that something unexpected might happen to them just like what happened to the two water demons before." Hanon said.
"Helped by our boyfriends." Rina smiled.
"At least this gives us the chance to relax and heal our wounds that we received." Kaito said.
"Who do you think was the most dangerous water demon you faced within two days?" Taki asked smiling, "Octopus or with horns?"
"I think mentally the water demon octopus was dangerous." Sara said, "She was taunting us a lot."
"But physically the water demon with horns was dangerous." Seira said, "She whipped and slapped us!"
"I fear that the next water demon might do both of them." Hippo said in fright.
"Which means that we need to plan a strategy if that happens." Yuri said.
"Yuri's right. The water demons are getting very clever and can act before we can attack." Nikora said, "Also the water demons will talk trash against us so that we will be mentally unprepared."
"Speaking of that, I could hear the motorcycle engines." Maki said.
And so it is. The motorcycle's engine can be heard outside. It stopped after a few seconds. Then they could hear voices approaching.
"Indigo! Indigo! I wanna see the Indigo sky!" a voice chanted.
"Hey calm down man. You will get to see it." another voice said.
"But I really wanna see it. You have seen the green sky didn't you?"
"Well yeah. I sure did."
"It was really crazy! The sky color changed not one, not two but FIVE TIMES! And the scientists have no clue about it."
Luchia and others realized that voice.
"I know that one of the voice belongs to Masahiro." Rina smiled.
"Masahiro no doubt." Nikora said, "But what about the other one?"
"Masahiro's best friend for life."
"You know him?" Maki asked.
"We know him at school." Kaito said.
"I wonder why did he chant for the indigo sky to come?" Gaito wondered.
"Maybe it's his favorite color." Sara smiled.
They continue to listen to them.
"But why do you want to see the indigo sky so badly?" A voice asked.
"Because me, my mom and my dad are planning for a nice family trip. Boy I'm so excited!" Another voice said happily.
"I see but to where?"
"To the Arctic Ocean."
It was then everyone was shocked when they heard 'Arctic Ocean'. They were all white in their faces.
"Did...Did he just say Arctic Ocean?" Hippo asked in shock.
"No way! It can't be!" Yuri said in shock.
"What's gonna happen to you guys if he sees you?" Seira asked, "His mom must have certainly told him about what happened to Noel."
"I have no idea. I just don't know." Sara said in fright.
"I wonder if Masahiro knows about it?" Gaito wondered.
"Could...Could he be the son of... ?" Taki was so shocked.
While others are discussing about it. Hanon whispered to Luchia, Rina and Kaito.
"Guys. It's confirmed." Hanon whispered, "Kazama-san is the son of a mermaid from the Arctic Ocean."
"Not the former mermaid princess?" Luchia asked curiously.
"Luchia. How can you be so blank? Remember what Rina said..."
"Jeez. I remember now."
"I had a feeling he could be." Rina said, "It's because he has the same indigo eye color and hair color just like Noel."
"Do you think Masahiro knows about it?" Kaito asked.
But before Rina could answer, the voices are approaching by.
"Good thing no customers are here and we are the only ones in here." Kazama said happily as he and Masahiro entered the cafe, "Cause I'm so excited to see some familiar faces as you so claimed."
"Well what do we have here Kazama? It seems that we are seeing some familiar faces." Masahiro smiled.
When Kazama looked at them, he was clearly shocked! Luchia and others smiling at him.
"Welcome to the beach cafe!" Hanon said happily.
Kazama remained silent for sometime.
"Wait...What?" Kazama asked in shock, "How do you know that they are working in here?"
"Well I went there and I told you about it and you got excited." Masahiro smiled, "But when I told you about them, you didn't believe me. You thought it was just a joke."
"Well then I believe you now but..."
Kazama jumped in delight.
"Who would have thought the surf champ and others also work here?!" Kazama asked happily, "What a coincidence!"
"Surprised?" Luchia smiled.
"Super-Surprise! I mean when did you start working here?"
"A long time ago." Kaito smiled.
"Hyped up as always." Masahiro smiled and said slowly to Rina.
"Well that doesn't matter. He is really excited to see us here." Rina smiled, "And I should really thank you for bringing him here."
"Yeah. By the way, I heard that..."
"Not now Masahiro. Later." Rina smiled as she put her fingers on Masahiro's lips.
Kazama is very happy and started to shake hands with Luchia, Hanon and Kaito at the same time.
"Well I'm really glad to see you!" Kazama said happily.
"Nagisa and Hotoshi also came here." Hanon said happily.
"They did? Bet you were excited when Nagisa was here."
"Of course I was."
Kazama then looked at Luchia and Kaito.
"So what did you do? Did you kiss? Did you flip? Did you flop? Did you surf?" Kazama was really excited.
"OMG! You are just acting like me." Hanon said happily.
"Well... We did kiss." Luchia couldn't help but smile at Kazama.
"Suffering Sucotash! You really did." Kazama said happily.
"Well I didn't surf for a while but if I do, I'll be sure to invite you." Kaito said.
"Thank You so Much Kaito. Oh Shoot!"
Kazama went straight to Rina and Masahiro.
"How in the world would I forget my best pal for life's girlfriend?" Kazama said happily, "Did you see the green night sky yesterday?"
"Why yes I did." Rina smiled, "With Masahiro."
"What? You did, Masahiro?"
"Yep. I did." Masahiro smiled.
"This is awesome. Oh, by the way Rina, I saw some of your fanboys were about to enter the class but then my fangirls went on a tug of war with them saying that you already have a boyfriend and so screw yourself."
"They did?" Everyone asked.
"Yeah. It happened after school."
Everyone laughed.
"This is really awesome Masahiro and not only that it's near the gym!" Kazama said happily, "We should come here really often."
"Looking forward to it." Maki smiled.
"Uh? Who are you sir?"
"Oh! This is Maki-san by the way." Luchia smiled, "He is the owner of this cafe."
"What?! You own this?"
Maki nodded with a smile.
"Whoa! Thanks for selecting here and besides, I bet a lot of customers come here." Kazama said happily.
"Indeed. What's your name by the way?"
"My name is Kazama Yoshiro, Masahiro's best pal for life!" Kazama said happily as he rubbed Masahiro's hair, "I'm the kicker and he is the puncher."
"Kicker and A Puncher?"
"Yep. I do boxing and he does Tae-Kwon-Doo." Masahiro smiled.
"I see."
Gaito's, Sara's and Yuri's fear increased when they heard it.
"Crap! If he finds out that I was the one who captured Noel, the mermaid princess of the Arctic Ocean, he is so gonna kick me on the head." Gaito thought and gulped.
"Please forgive us Kazama-san." Yuri said to herself.
"I'm sure his mom must have told him everything that happened to them before." Sara gulped.
"Oh Maki. Who is is lady on the picture by the way?" Kazama asked.
"That was my first wife but she passed away." Maki said sadly.
"Oh. That's very sad. So you are single now?"
"No. I'm engaged with her." Maki pointed at the shock Nikora.
"Well she and others looks quite shock in their faces."
"Well it seems that they are meeting you for the first time." Luchia said.
Well not really. What happened was that while Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Kaito, Maki, Masahiro and Kazama are chatting. Nikora, Gaito, Sara, Seira, Hippo, Yuri and Taki are shocked all over their faces.
Do you know why? It's because Kazama has the same indigo hair and eye color. It reminded them of Noel, who is the mermaid princess of the Arctic Ocean. They discussed it with each other slowly so that others won't hear.
"Is it real? Or am I just dreaming?" Gaito asked in shock.
"He must the son of the Former Mermaid Princess of the Arctic Ocean." Seira said.
"Or the son of a mermaid from the Arctic Ocean kingdom?" Sara said. She is also shocked.
"It totally true. Look at Kazama." Nikora said in shock, "He has the same indigo eye and hair color just like Noel."
"Not former mermaid princess. Do you remember what Rina said?" Taki asked.
"Does Hamasaki-san and his parents know about it?" Yuri asked.
"50-50. I should say." Hippo said.
"Let's get to know more about Kazama." Taki said, "Though we already got a few clues."
They all nodded.
"Is something wrong here, people?" Kazama asked curiously.
"No! It's just that we are a bit nervous meeting you for the first time." Hippo smiled.
"I see. Names please?"
"I'm Hippo."
"Seira."
"Nikora."
"Taki."
"Sara."
"G...Gaito."
"Yuri."
It was then Kazama looked at Gaito, Yuri and Sara with a mix of shock and suspicion. He remembered his mom telling him all the destructive things they did to the kingdom and even captured the mermaid princess. So what are they doing here?
"Aren't those the two evil guys in which one was a Panthalassa and one was the water demon who destroyed the kingdom and captured the mermaid princess. And the orange lady who started everything? Why the hell are they here?" Kazama thought.
By looking at the expression of Kazama's face, it was clear that Kazama knew the evil things they did before and prepare for the worst.
"Well guys. Prepare to get a kick in your face." Taki thought and gulped.
"Is there anything wrong Kazama-san?" Yuri asked meekly.
"Wrong? Nothing's wrong." Kazama said happily, "It's just that I'm so excited to meet you."
But they all knew that Kazama is lying. Even Hippo and others knew it just by looking at Kazama's expression.
"Well. Thanks for saving us Yuri." Gaito sighed in relief.
"Yeah. Otherwise he would start asking us lots of questions." Sara said.
"Or tell his mother that we are back to life." Yuri said in fright.
"Well it's confirm. There's no denying it." Seira said.
"I'm pretty sure Masahiro knows about it." Taki said.
"We will ask them later." Hippo said.
"Goodness me that Kazama lied. Otherwise he might start to create a scene here." Nikora said.
"These are our friends by the way." Hanon smiled.
"Friends?" Kazama gasped.
"Yep." Rina winked.
Kazama remained silent for a moment.
"Anyway. Me and Masahiro are so hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" Kazama asked.
"Why yes we do." Maki smiled, "Please wait for sometime."
So he and Nikora went to the kitchen while Kazama and Masahiro sat on their seats.
"If they are friends then maybe they have forgiven Gaito, Sara and Yuri for all the evil things they did but I better keep a close watch at them." Kazama thought.
"So Kazama-san. What is your favourite color?" Seira asked smiling.
"Indigo cause it's awesome!" Kazama said happily.
Hippo nodded to Yuri who is listing down the reasons.
"And when did you become best friends for life with Hamasaki-san?" Yuri smiled.
"Since elementary school."
"Elementary School?!" Everyone was shocked except Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Kaito and Masahiro since they already knew it.
"What? Got a problem with a that?"
"They are meeting you for the first time so that's why." Masahiro said.
"Oh. Sorry people."
"If they are friends since elementary school, then there's no doubt Masahiro and his parents knows about Kazama and his parents." Taki thought.
"I had a feeling that Masahiro might know about him a long time ago." Rina thought.
"Anyway. Did you see the sky color change?" Kazama asked, "It was so awesome!"
"Oh yeah. We saw it." Luchia smiled, "And it was beautiful."
"Yeah and it was worth it." Hanon said happily, "It happens once in a life time."
"And we saw all five of them." Rina smiled.
"ALL 5 OF THEM?!" Kazama asked in shock.
Everyone nodded.
"Then tell me the order of its appearance." Kazama said.
"First red, then green, then again back to evening skies, then green night sky and back to night." Gaito said.
"It was one awesome day. So awesome that I took pictures."
"Really Kazama? Can we see it?" Kaito was excited.
"Uh. I didn't bring it today."
Everyone sweatdropped.
"You even thought that we will melt on the red sky." Masahiro smiled.
"Oh really?" Taki asked.
"It was not my saying. It was the guard's saying." Kazama whined.
Everybody laughed.
"But I really hope there could be an indigo sky." Kazama said happily, "Cause it will be awesome!"
"What happens if there really is an indigo sky?" Sara asked.
"Trip to the Arctic Ocean with my parents."
"Well. I hope you are looking forward to it." Taki said.
"Of course. I am."
"Oh Kazama-san. Hotoshi-kun told us that the scientist are having a meeting today. Do you know anything about it?" Luchia asked.
"No solutions!" Kazama declared.
"No solutions?" Rina asked.
"Yeah. The scientist are still clueless about the cause of the sky change." Masahiro said.
"So are they still trying to find out?" Hanon asked.
"Nope. They abandoned their search." Kazama said, "They said it can happen ones in a year so they hope that it doesn't appear again."
"What a disappointment." Kaito said.
"Food is here." Nikora called as she and Maki are carrying plates full of food.
"Enjoy boys." Maki smiled.
"Food!" Kazama said happily, "Come on pal. Let's dig in."
"You bet." Masahiro said.
Everyone smiled as Masahiro and Kazama began to eat.
10 minutes later:
"How was it?" Nikora smiled.
"It...It was awesome!" Kazama said happily, "How did you make such awesome food?"
"Experience, boy. Experience." Maki smiled.
"Come on pal. Let's dig in some more."
"No way Kazama! I'm full." Masahiro said it before he burped in which everyone laughed.
"Wow! This cafe is awesome. First of it's near the gym. Second our best pals are here and third the food is awesome!"
"We are really happy that you really like it." Nikora said.
"Thanks for taking me here buddy."
"No problem." Masahiro smiled.
"This is awesome! I've got to tell my mom and dad about this."
It was then everyone looked at each other, except Masahiro.
"Guys." Gaito said.
Everyone nodded.
"Kazama-san. Can you answer this question honestly?" Luchia asked.
"And what is the question?" Kazama asked.
Rina then approached Kazama.
"Kazama. What does your mom do?" Rina asked.
Kazama instantly gulped.
"My...mom?" Kazama gulped.
Everyone nodded. Sweats are coming all around his face.
"Maybe I should tell that I'm the son of a mermaid from the Arctic Ocean kingdom. No! No! If I tell, I'm gonna lose my mommy." Kazama thought and was frightened.
"Kazama. What are you going to do now?" Masahiro thought. He is also frightened as well.
Suddenly Kazama knew what her mom does on the land. Perfect way to escape from getting trapped.
"Psychologist and Psychiatrist ." Kazama smiled.
"Psychologist and Psychiatrist?" Everyone asked.
"Yeah. If you have any boyfriend or girlfriend or any problems, feel free to ask her."
"I see. Anything else?" Gaito said.
"Nothing. Just Psychologist and Psychiatrist. Nothing else. Right pal?"
"It sure is." Masahiro smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Although they knew Kazama is hiding the fact that he is the son of a mermaid from the Arctic Ocean kingdom, they could see that Kazama is honest about his mom's professional in the land. So rather than pressurizing him, they gladly accepted his answer.
"Well Kazama. Thanks for the answer." Taki smiled.
"We are very happy to meet you Kazama. We hope to see you again." Nikora said.
"Well people. It looks like we have to go now." Kazama said, "Come on Masahiro. Let's hope into the arcades and then spend the time in your mansion."
"Sure." Masahiro smiled.
"Masahiro. Thank you for bringing him here." Rina smiled, "I'll see you later in school."
"Or maybe outside." Masahiro said.
"Could be one of them."
"Well all you can do right now is pray that there will be indigo sky so that you can have a nice family trip to the Arctic Ocean." Maki smiled.
"Of course I will. Thanks for the advice Maki-san." Kazama said, "See you later people."
And so Masahiro and Kazama left. Kazama gave one last suspicious stare to Gaito, Sara and Yuri before leaving. Sighing, he left.
"Well that was one hyped-up indigo-haired friend Masahiro has." Gaito said.
"He may be hyped-up but he is really a nice guy." Rina said.
"And he almost acts just like me." Hanon said happily in which everyone sweatdropped.
"And he is not even jealous." Luchia smiled, "I guess Kazama-san is the only person who knows who has a girlfriend and who has a boyfriend."
"And his fangirls are so sensible." Kaito said, "The fanboys of Rina got driven away by the fangirls of Kazama because they know that you have a boyfriend."
"Well I hope that next time your fangirls get driven away by Kazama's fangirls. Better way to be with Luchia." Rina smiled.
"And..." Seira smiled, "He is the son of a mermaid from the Arctic Ocean."
Everyone cheered.
"We thought of it at first in school." Rina smiled, "But now it's actually confirmed."
"We knew it indirectly and not directly." Hanon said happily.
"It all started when we heard Kazama-san chanting for the indigo sky to come so that he and his parents can take a trip to the Arctic Ocean." Hippo smiled.
"And his eyes and hair color is Indigo." Yuri said.
"And I thought he was gonna give a hard kick to my face since his mom must have told him what me, Yuri and Sara did." Gaito gulped.
"True. He was staring right at us suspiciously." Sara said.
"And also he didn't want to tell us that his mom is a mermaid from the Arctic Ocean but I think that he was honest about his mom's professional in this world." Nikora said.
"So we have Hotoshi who is the son of a mermaid from South Pacific Ocean." Kaito said.
"And Kazama who is the son of a mermaid from Arctic Ocean." Taki said.
"I really can't wait for the day when Coco and Noel can reveal their true forms to them." Luchia was excited.
"What about me?" Seira whined, "I want to find love too."
"Don't worry Seira. You definitely will find someone." Sara smiled.
"It seems that Masahiro and his parents knows a lot about Kazama's parents." Taki said.
"Yeah. No doubt about it." Rina said, "Given that they are best friends since elementary school, it's no doubt that he knows plenty about Kazama. Masahiro was also a bit frightened when we asked Kazama that question."
"But let's not tell him about that or else he might be upset." Kaito said in which everyone agreed.
But Maki is fuming with himself for sometime. He dropped his head on the table.
"What's wrong Maki?" Gaito asked.
"Not again." Maki mumbled.
"Not again?" Sara asked curiously.
It was then everyone realized.
"Oh no! Maki-san has again forgot to ask them to pay the bill!" Luchia exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" Everyone asked in shock.
They all started to laugh while Nikora is comforting Maki.
"Well looks like Kazama and Masahiro joins Nagisa and Hotoshi on the lucky list." Rina smiled.
"But they are now on the list of to be caught." Nikora growled.
Everyone started to laugh again.
Night:
"Well there's nothing special tonight. So I'm gonna have to close the cafe." Maki said.
Everyone agreed hoping to finally have a goodnight sleep after two hectic days. Little did they know what was about to come.
"WHERE ARE THE MERMAID PRINCESSES?! COME ON OUT NOW!" A roaring voice came by which made everyone jumped in fright.
"Okay. That was scary." Nikora said in fright.
"It's another water demon!" Hippo exclaimed, "And it came at night!"
"Seems like the water demon is a male and he is furious about something." Taki said.
"There goes my goodnight sleep." Gaito grumbled.
"I had a feeling that the water demon had made a plan to attack us at night as we are all tired at that time." Sara said.
"I think I'm already scared to meet him given his roaring voice." Seira said.
"There's no need to be frightened. We got to defeat that water demon." Luchia said, "But first we have to find out his reason."
"Oh man! I'm so scared that the water demon might attack us physically and mentally." Hanon said in fright.
"Hanon! This is not the time to be scared." Rina said scornfully.
"Rina's right. Let's all go and finish him!" Kaito said.
They all agreed and left. Maki sighed. For the third straight time, he has to keep the cafe open. This time he is a bit frightened because the water demon is here at night and there's a chance that the water demon might smash his cafe as well as him.
Our heroes arrive at the beach. Surprisingly there's no dark black clouds, no red skies. Just the night sky.
"Alright. Whoever made that roaring noise. Come out and show your face!" Gaito said angrily.
"ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ME, YOU SILVER HAIRED FREAK?!" A voice roared and a lightening bolt is coming right straight towards them.
"Look Out!" Sara shouted.
Luckily all of them dodged the bolt. Then they looked at the direction where the lighting bolt was thrown. But when they saw the water demon, there were exceptionally frightened.
The water demon is huge and muscular. He has huge devil horns with huge huge octopus legs. He is carrying a huge spear with some sparkles coming at the point of the spear. His teeth is sharp and his eyes are red. It's obvious that he was furious over something. His appearance is gigantic and frightening.
"Oh man! Look at him!" Kaito gasped, "He's Huge!"
"The most frightening water demon I have ever seen." Hippo said in fright.
"I guess he's gonna use some brutal tactics against us." Gaito said, "Look at his anger."
"I think he really wants us dead, Gaito-sama." Yuri said in fright.
"Even more frightening than Mikeru." Seira said.
"I guess there's no way we can beat this guy considering his physical appearance and his reddish eyes." Nikora sighed.
"Don't say that Nikora. We will surely find someone to beat him." Taki said.
"OH WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU NOW?! HAVE YOU TURNED INTO PUSSIES OR SISSIES?!" The water demon taunted and roared.
"Hey! What did we do to get shouted like that?" Rina shouted back.
"Cause you mermaid princesses did something unforgivable!"
"And what could that be?"
"It seems like he is in total rage." Hanon said, "Don't start a fight or he's gonna throw another lightning bolt at us."
"Whoever you are. Please tell us the reason why are you so angry at us?" Luchia pleaded.
"The thing is..." The water demon breathed before giving a loud roar:
"YOU KILLED MY SISTERS!"
And with that a huge thunder and lighting bolt came out from the sky. Luckily everyone dodged it but they are completely shocked in their faces.
"Your sisters?" Luchia asked in fright.
"Wait you have siblings?" Hanon asked in shock.
"Do you mean The Black Beauty Sisters?" Rina asked.
"NOT THEM! YOU SCUMBAGS!" The water demon roared.
"Wow. The most angriest water demon I have ever met." Rina thought.
"Except The Black Beauty Sisters, we know no other sisters." Nikora said.
"I think you have mistaken for someone else." Hippo said.
"Yeah and beside we are too kind to kill your sisters." Sara said.
"Oh Really? What about what happened in two days?" The water demon asked angrily.
"Two days you say?" Taki asked.
The water demon nodded. Everyone started to think for a few minutes but then suddenly realized...
"You don't mean that..." Seira started with a gasp.
"...That the water demon octopus and the water demon with horns..." Gaito continued in shock.
"Were Your Sisters?!" Yuri asked in shock.
The water demon nodded angrily and gave a loud roar. Everyone is frightened. Never in their lives had they seen such an angry water demon.
"I had a feeling yesterday that the water demon with horns could be the sister of the water demon octopus." Hanon sighed.
"Oh dear. Never I have seen anyone so angry before." Nikora gulped.
"Wait. They died?" Kaito asked in shock.
"I thought they simply collapsed due to the mermaid princesses's singing." Hippo said in fright.
"NO! THEIR EARS WERE BUSTED AND THEY DIED AFTER BEING UNCONSCIOUS FOR A LONG TIME!" The water demon roared angrily, "SO IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT BLOOD-THIRSTY MURDERERS!"
"Well it's their fault at first." Taki said, "They taunted us and attacked us so we have no other choice. They practically deserve this."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
"YES. I'M SAYING IT AGAIN! THEY DESERVE IT!"
The water demon, with his huge octopus legs, suddenly swatted Taki like a fly. Taki was then knocked on the sand.
"TAKI!" Everyone shouted in horror.
"YOU DESERVE THIS, YOU OLD HAG!" The water demon shouted.
"I'm fine people. Just got a little swat by him." Taki said.
The others turned towards the water demon.
"See what you did?! That's exactly how your sisters acted!" Rina shouted angrily.
"Yeah! You just swatted someone when they tried to be reason with you." Hanon said.
"And not only that! They taunted us and attacked us as well!" Luchia shouted.
"Please stop it!" Seira cried, "I know you are heart-broken about your sister's death but you can live peacefully with us without any harm."
"Seira. It's no use. He is in full rage now." Sara sadly said.
"Yeah and who knows that, at one point, he might tear us into pieces." Gaito gulped.
"I think that's the most dangerous water demon we have ever witness, right Yuri-san?" Hippo gulped.
"Not to mention the angriest as well." Yuri gulped as well.
"Listen. Your sisters attacked us and drove us mad in such a way that we are left with no other choice." Taki said who got up.
"Yeah and so the mermaid princesses had to transform and defeat them." Nikora said.
"If you can at least admit that your sisters were terrible, then we won't harm you in anyway." Kaito said.
But the water demon's anger reached into a new high.
"I WILL AVENGE THE DEATH OF MY SISTERS! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT PUSSIES, CRYBABIES, SISSIES, LOSERS, PATHETIC, WORTHLESS AND MURDERERS!" The water demon taunted angrily.
The water demon's insults had the mermaid princesses and others driven them mad!
"Boy! He is driving me mad!" Gaito thought angrily.
"AND SO I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" The water demon shouted.
"THAT WILL NEVER EVER HAPPEN!" The mermaid princesses and others shouted back.
"THEN THIS MEANS WAR!"
And so the water demon picked up his spear and continuously sending lighting bolts to the mermaid princesses and others. They are trying their best to dodge but some of them zipped past them.
"He is mad! Totally mad." Nikora said.
"He will do whatever it takes to avenge his sisters." Hippo said, "Even if it means killing us as well."
The water demon continued to attack them. Then, with his octopus legs, he grabbed Kaito!
"KAITO!" Everyone shouted.
"Damn you!" Kaito growled in anger as he has been tied up.
"Ha! Now I finally got one of the Panthalassa." The water demon smiled evily.
"Let him go!" Luchia said in tears.
"Aww! What's the matter, princess? Missing your boyfriend already? Maybe I SHOULD EAT HIM RIGHT NOW!"
And so he lifted Kaito and had him hanging above and below is his sharp teeth.
"No! Don't do it!" Luchia cried as she is starting to cry.
"Darn it! That water demon is playing with Luchia's mind." Nikora said angrily.
"Or mental state." Taki gulped.
"Hey! If you eat my brother. I'm gonna..." Gaito was about to attack.
"Gaito. Come down. There's got to be a way." Sara said.
"Don't worry. Kaito! We will save you." Seira cried out.
"This water demon is so dangerous!" Yuri gulped.
"Even more dangerous than Gaito or Mikeru." Hippo gulped.
"That water demon is sooo dead." Rina muttered angrily.
"You will pay for playing with Luchia's feelings!" Hanon shouted.
"HA HA HA! THAT'S WHAT I WAS EXPECTING! YOU ARE CRYBABIES, WORTHLESS, GOOD FOR NOTHING PEOPLE!" The water demon roared and laughed.
"You won't get away with this!" Kaito shouted angrily still trying to get out but in vain.
The mermaid princess had enough! They stared at the water demon.
"Your thirst for revenge won't work against us." Hanon said angrily.
"We have tried to be reason with you." Rina said, "But now all is he vain."
"Now I'm afraid that you will have to suffer the same fate as to what happened with your sisters." Sara sadly said.
"Let's go and rescue Kaito." Luchia declared.
"I'm with you Luchia." Seira said.
So the mermaid princesses began to transform.
"Pink Pearl Voice!"
"Mizuiro Pearl Voice!"
"Green Pearl Voice!"
"Orange Pearl Voice!"
"Orange Pearl Voice!"
After they transformed into their idol forms, they transformed into their second idol forms. But just as they did so, the water demon immediately used his spear to lock them in a cage full of electric sparkle and not only them, but others as well!
"Ahh! We are trapped!" Hanon said in shock.
"Darn it! That water demon trapped us as soon as we transformed so that we can't sing." Rina growled.
"Ha Ha Ha!" The water demon laughed, "You think I'll let you princesses hear your worthless songs! Well not today!"
"You are just ending yourself." Kaito said.
"Or am I?" The water demon growled as he squeezed Kaito. Kaito is nearly falling unconsious.
"KAITO!" Luchia cried.
"Isn't there anyway to escape this cage?" Seira asked in fright.
"It looks like he is really serious about killing us!" Hippo gulped.
"Darn it! Looks like there is no one to rescue us now!" Gaito said angrily.
"And he is now attacking us at night so that neither Masahiro nor Nagisa will be around to safe us." Sara said.
"It seems that we are in a total dire situation here." Nikora said.
"Life or death situation." Taki gulped.
"I think I know the way out." Yuri said as she rushed towards the cage's gaps.
"Hey Yuri?! What are you doing?!" Gaito said in shock.
Yuri reached the gaps between the electric cage and jumped on it and soon she is out! Everyone is shocked!
"Now how you do you say about that?" Yuri asked proudly.
"Wow! Now that's a pathetic trap we are in now." Gaito said.
"It looks like we can escape easily from here." Sara smiled.
But the water demon gave an evil laughter.
"Foolish Girl! You think you will be able to escape from here?!" The water demon sneered.
"What do you mean?" Yuri asked confusingly.
Suddenly a sparkle came out from Yuri's clothes and within a few seconds, these sparkles have become thunder sparkles as she is getting shocked!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yuri screamed in pain.
And so Yuri was done and out and unconscious by getting shocked. Everyone was horrified by what they just saw. The water demon let out a roar of evil laughter!
"YURI-SAN!" Hippo cried as he also tried to run to the cage's gap but Sara stopped him.
"Don't go there Hippo. You might suffer the same fate like her." Sara cried.
"Darn it! He made something attach to the gaps so that we can think we can escape easily only to pay the price." Gaito said.
"And now it's even harder to escape from here." Nikora gulped.
"Now I think we won't be able to make it this time." Taki said sadly.
"You are doing of all this just for your sisters?" Luchia asked sadly.
"YES I AM!" The water demon roared, "Oh! And speaking about that!"
The water demon, with his great, muscular hands, grabbed Luchia.
"KYAHHHH!" Luchia screamed in agony as she has been grabbed.
"LUCHIA!" Everyone cried.
"Oh no! Now he has got the North Pacific Princess and her lover." Taki said in shock.
Luchia, who is now in the grip of the water demon's hands, looked at Kaito, who is trying to get himself free.
"Kaito." Luchia said sadly.
"Luchia." Kaito said.
But soon both of them are getting squeezed.
"Don't worry you two! You two will have a perfect afterlife moments!" The water demon smiled evily before laughing again.
The others are still trapped inside the cage with poor Yuri still lying on the sand outside the cage after getting electric shocked.
"This is just great!" Gaito mumbled, "We are trapped in this stupid cage and Yuri is down as soon she got out."
"And now she has your brother and Luchia in his grip." Sara said sadly.
"I don't think even Mikeru will do these type of things the water demon is doing right now." Seira cried.
"Yuri-san." Hippo said sadly and a single drop of tear came out from his eyes as he looks at the unconscious Yuri.
"I just wish Nagisa is here and near somewhere and plays his Mermaid Flute." Hanon cried.
"I also wish Masahiro is here or near here and is wearing his locket." Rina said sadly, "But there's nothing we can do cause it's night and they must have been sleeping by now."
"What can we do?" Nikora asked.
"I have no idea." Taki said sadly.
Suddenly there is a bright energy light coming and the water demon couldn't see it. Everyone is surprised and shocked.
"Ugh! Who's doing this?!" The water demon asked angrily.
"Where's that energy light coming from?" Luchia asked.
"I know where is this energy light coming from." Kaito explained, "It can only mean one thing."
Meanwhile in the electric cage, others are wondering where is it coming from. Suddenly Gaito realized.
"I remember. It's the same energy light that Kaito used when he was battling against me." Gaito said.
"Which could only mean one thing." Sara gasped.
They were all looking around when suddenly they saw a man standing behind the unconscious Yuri with the energy light coming from him. They gasped when they recognized him
Guess who he is? None other than Saito, the Panthalassa guy. His Panthalassa in his forehead is giving the 'good' energy light so that the water demon will barely be able to see anything. Somehow, the water demon saw him and growled.
"You...You Panthalassa brat!" The water demon growled angrily.
"Temper Temper. Your temper will never work." Saito said.
"SAITO!" Everyone said happily.
"Yo."
"Hey Brother. Glad you are here." Gaito said happily.
"I can't believe it. Saito is actually here." Seira said happily.
"We are struck in the cage. Luchia and Kaito are in his grip." Sara said.
"I know. And I'm trying to rescue them." Saito said.
"Please hurry Saito. The water demon is crushing them to death." Hanon pleaded.
"WHAT?!"
"It's true. This water demon has gone mad because we have defeated his sisters." Rina said.
"How did you know that we are in danger?" Hippo asked.
"We will talk about that later." Taki said, "Right now. Focus on your job."
Saito nodded and called out Kaito and Luchia.
"KAITO! LUCHIA! CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Saito called out, "ARE YOU GUYS OKAY?"
Luckily Kaito and Luchia heard his voice and could not hold back their happiness when they saw Saito there realizing his Panthalassa Power.
"SAITO. YOU ARE HERE!" Luchia called out happily.
"YEAH BRO! WE CAN HEAR YOU!" Kaito also called out happily, "WE CAN HEAR YOU AND WE ARE FINE!"
"I'M RESCUING YOU GUYS! JUST GIVE ME SOMETIME!" Saito called out.
"HAI!" Kaito and Luchia called out.
"Say. Where is your wife by the way?" Nikora asked.
"I'm Here!" a voice said and it's none other than Azumi who ran straight to her husband.
"AZUMI!" Everyone said happily.
"Thank Goodness Azumi. You came." Hanon said happily.
"Luchia and Kaito are in the water demon's grip." Rina said, "He is going to crush them."
"WHAT?!" Azumi was shocked.
"It's true. He will do whatever it takes to avenge his sisters's death." Seira said sadly, "Even if it means killing us as well."
Azumi was shocked and looked at the water demon who is somehow trying to avoid the energy light. She also saw Luchia and Kaito in his grip.
"LUCHIA! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" Azumi called out.
Luchia recognized the voice and couldn't hold back her tears when she saw Azumi is also there.
"AZUMI! YOU ARE HERE!" Luchia called out happily.
"HANG IN THERE! MY HUSBAND IS DOING HIS BEST TO SAVE YOU GUYS!" Azumi called back.
"I KNOW THAT!" Kaito called out.
"Darn it! That water demon is still not releasing them." Saito said angrily.
"Do your best, dear." Azumi smiled, "Meanwhile, I'll get the others out of this electric cage. Luckily there are gaps between the cage so it will be easy for them to..."
"No! Don't do that! It's a trap!" Gaito interrupted.
"Trap?! But there are some gaps in it."
"Look what happened to Yuri." Sara said sadly.
Azumi looked and was shocked at when she looked at the unconscious Yuri who got blackened out as a result of the electric shock she received.
"What happened was that Yuri-san jumped through the gaps and she was out." Hippo said, "But what happened was that some sparkles came from Yuri's clothes and she got electric shock."
"Oh dear." Azumi said in shock, "Then this could mean that..."
"Yes. The water demon made it harder for us to escape." Nikora said.
"Then there's only one thing to do." Taki said.
Everyone looked at the spear in which the water demon is trying to use it to defend himself against Saito's Panthalassa energy light.
"He is still holding his spear." Hanon said.
"True. If someone can knock it out from his hand then this cage will be gone." Rina said.
"Saito. Use your full power. Maybe then he will realize Kaito and Luchia." Seira said.
"I was thinking about that." Saito said, "Okay Azumi. Count up to three."
"Hai." Azumi said, "One...Two...Three!"
"YAHHHHHHHHHH!"
And with that, Saito gave his full light energy Panthalassa Power and it was able to hit the water demon.
"AHHHHHH!" The water demon roared in pain.
He then threw Kaito and Luchia much to everyone's shock.
"LUCHIA!" Nikora, Taki, Sara and Seira shouted in horror.
"KAITO!" Gaito and Hippo shouted in horror.
"Oh no! They are gonna crash!" Rina said in horror.
"Oh man! I can't look." Hanon cried as she closed her eyes.
Luckily Saito and Azumi ran in the correct position where Kaito and Luchia will land and so it was. Azumi was able to catch Luchia while Saito caught Kaito. Everybody sighed in relief.
"Kaito. Are you okay?" Saito asked.
"Yeah. I'm alright." Kaito said, "But I really owe you a big time for saving me."
"Were you hurt?"
"Not hurt. But he squeezed me so much that right now I feel like suffering from stomach ache."
"Luchia. Are you alright?" Azumi asked.
In tears, Luchia hugged Azumi.
"If it weren't for your husband and you as well, we would have all died." Luchia cried.
"Hey it's okay Luchia. Don't cry. You are safe with us." Azumi smiled.
"Azumi."
Not only that, the spear has been knocked out from the water demon's hands. As a result, the electric cage is no more.
"Woo! We are free." Seira said happily.
"All thanks to Saito and Azumi." Nikora smiled.
"Gaito. Hanon. Rina. Where are you going?" Sara asked.
"Seems like they have gone to check if all four of them are okay." Taki said.
"Brother. Are you okay?" Gaito asked worriedly.
"I'm fine Gaito." Kaito said.
"Saito. I'm really in your debt. Thank you very much."
"No need for that." Saito said.
"Luchia? Are you alright?" Hanon asked worriedly.
"Yep. I am." Luchia smiled.
"Azumi. We owe you a thousands of thanks." Rina said.
"No problem." Azumi said.
"Hey look at that!" Hippo said in shock.
They all looked and were surprised seeing Suzuka trying to carry Yuri.
"Well if it isn't Saito's and Azumi's daughter?" Taki smiled.
"She was lying on the ground for sometime and I can't stand it." Suzuka said, "Trying to carrying her is the least I could do."
"Well that's very brave of you." Nikora smiled.
Hippo then approached Suzuka.
"Suzuka. There's a cafe nearby. Take her there." Hippo said, "The owner knows us very well."
Hippo then pointed at the cafe in which Suzuka nodded.
"Suzuka. Once you reach there, don't come out." Saito said, "Who knows when will this water demon strike again."
"Hurry Suzuka before the water demon appears again." Azumi said.
Suzuka nodded and went off carrying Yuri.
"Azumi. Saito. Your daughter is very brave." Luchia smiled.
"Well she couldn't stand seeing an unconscious body for a long time." Azumi said.
"The cafe is nearby so she will reach there in time." Kaito said.
"I hope so." Saito said.
"Azumi-san. Me and Yuri-san really owe a huge thanks to your daughter." Hippo said.
Both Azumi and Saito smiled.
"Well now both your daughter and Yuri are out of sight. It's time to put the finishing touch." Sara said.
"Which is singing." Seira said happily.
"Time for payback for what he did to Yuri." Hanon said.
"And also for playing with Luchia's feeling." Rina said with determination.
"I think you guys are all ready right?" Nikora asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Uh? What about Azumi?" Gaito asked.
Everyone then realized and was a bit sadden by it.
"It looks like you have to sing without her, Luchia." Taki said sadly.
"No. I want to sing with Azumi." Luchia whined.
"Your wish will be granted Luchia." A voice said.
"Well it seems like Aqua Regina heard your wish." Nikora smiled.
And in the bright white light, Aqua Regina appears. She is carrying an extra pink pearl.
"Aqua Regina-sama." Everyone said.
"Azumi. Here's an extra pink pearl for you so that we can sing with others." Aqua Regina smiled.
"Really? Thank you Aqua Regina." Azumi said happily.
So when the extra pink pearl went into Azumi's shell locket, she began to transform.
"Pink Pearl Voice!"
She now turns into her idol form after completing her transformation. She wears pink dress with a slit on the side ending at the knee. She wears handless pink gloves and boots with dozens of layers. She also wears a pink heart necklace. Everyone looked at the transformation with awe.
"Oh wow! You look so pretty." Hanon squealed.
"Yeah. It seems like you and others didn't have bows at that time but you have heart necklaces." Rina smiled.
"Yep." Azumi smiled.
"Finally. We can sing together." Luchia said happily.
Azumi smiled.
"Okay. Now we are all set, it's time to get ready." Sara said.
"We will give him a surprise." Seira said happily.
Aqua Regina smiled before she disappeared.
The six mermaid princesses faced the sea where the water demon is starting to get up.
"Boy. He is in for a surprise." Gaito smirked.
"Yeah. Hope he gets what he and his sisters deserved." Kaito said.
"For hurting Yuri and playing with Luchia's feelings." Taki said.
"This is for you, Yuri-san." Hippo said.
"Here he comes." Nikora said.
The water demon finally stood up after getting hit by Saito's Panthalassa energy light. He looked at them with anger in his eyes.
"You brats are going to pay for my sister's death!" The water demon said angrily, "You will all suffer because I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL!"
Suddenly he realized that his spear has gone missing. He was shocked!
"WHERE'S MY SPEAR?!" The water demon roared.
"DON'T YOU REMEMBER? YOUR SPEAR DISAPPEARED HUNDREDS OF METERS AWAY!" Saito called out.
"WHAT?!"
"It seems like you are helpless without your spear." Azumi said, "It's now the time to meet your doom."
"Okay girls. Here we go." Luchia said before the six mermaid princesses said:
"PICHI PICHI VOICE LIVE START!"
"Uh Oh." The water demon gulped as he is preparing himself for the worst to come.
The six mermaid princesses began singing:
Nanairo no kaze ni fukarete tooi misaki wo mezashiteta
"AHH! STOP IT! STOP IT!" The water demon roared in pain as he tried to cover his ears but in vain. He is jumping in pain.
Yoake mae kikoeta merodi
Sore wa totemo natsukashii uta
Higashi no sora e to habataku toritachi
Saa, takarajima ni nukeru chikamichi
"MY SPEAR! WHERE ARE YOU?!" The water demon shouted in pain.
But then the water demon made a fatal mistake. He accidentally uncovered his ears and is now getting DOUBLE the damage!
"NOOOO! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!" The water demon cried in pain.
Nanatsu no umi no rakuen
Arashi no yoru no ato ni wa ai wo tsutaerutame inochi ga mata umareru
Nanatsu no kuni no merodia
Daremo ga itsuka wa koko wo tabidatsu hi ga kitemo
Watashi wa wasurenai
"Love Shower Pitch! Encore wa ika ga?" The six mermaid princesses said.
And so the water demon slowly began to collapse.
"NOOO! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! MY SISTERS! I HAVE FAILED YOU!" The water demon roared in pain.
And so he slowly collapsed and plunged into the sea. After that happened, there was no thunder and lightening. Just a cool breeze.
"YAHOO! We win!" Taki said happily.
But than Taki and others saw that the six mermaid princesses were not in a mood to celebrate.
"What's wrong?" Nikora asked worriedly.
"I have to admit that I feel bad for the water demon." Luchia said sadly.
"Yeah. We didn't know that they were actually his sisters which we defeated." Hanon said sadly.
"Not only that, we didn't even know that they were dead." Rina said.
"This water demon really must have gone through a hard time following his sister's death." Seira sadly said.
"I think he knew straight away that we were the ones responsible for it because who would have, other than us, gone against this water demon?" Sara said.
"So that's why he went crazy against you. He tried to kill you to avenge their deaths right?" Azumi asked.
The five mermaid princesses nodded sadly.
"I'm really worried about what happened Yuri-san." Hippo said, "She might not make it."
"Don't say that Hippo." Gaito said, "She will make it.'
"Yeah but it might take some time before she wakes up." Taki said.
There was a silent for a moment.
"So Azumi. Back to your idol form, eh?" Saito smiled.
"Yeah. It's good to be back being to my idol form and singing again after a long time." Azumi said happily.
"So you also knew her idol form." Nikora smiled.
"Yep. I sure do." Saito said.
"What about your daughter?" Kaito asked.
"Uh...no. Beside, as for the current mermaid princesses, this is the first time seeing you in your idol form."
"Yep. It sure is." Seira smiled.
"Do you like it?" Sara smiled.
"Of course. You girls are really awesome." Saito smiled.
"Thank you, Saito." Rina smiled.
"Who do you think is the prettiest?" Hanon asked curiously.
Saito looked at them for a moment before smiling, "Looks to me like Azumi and Luchia are the prettiest."
"Biased!" Hanon and Sara whined which made everyone laughed.
"But what about his daughter?" Kaito asked.
"How could you say that?" Hippo asked in shock, "Azumi just reunited with Saito a few days ago. So there is no way Suzuka will know about it."
"Unless Azumi did tell Suzuka about it." Taki said.
"Which I did." Azumi smiled.
Everyone looked at Azumi with surprise.
"Wait. So she knows about it?" Taki asked.
"Yeah. When I came to Saito's house, with all the preparations done, I told Suzuka about our days as teens." Azumi said.
"She even told her about her idol form and she was really excited to see it but Azumi couldn't show her because she didn't have the pink pearl at that time." Saito said.
"But now she has." Gaito said.
"Which means she can now see her mom's idol form." Hippo smiled.
"Well Azumi it seems that you can finally show your daughter your idol form." Sara smiled.
"I know and I'm so excited." Azumi said.
"I'm excited as well." Luchia said.
"Speaking about that, here comes Maki-san." Kaito said.
"With a very concern look at his face." Gaito said.
Indeed, Maki did appear with a concern look at his face. He was very worried about others. But then he sighed in relief when he saw that no one was hurt.
"A pink haired girl came here with an unconscious Yuri and she told me everything." Maki said, "Thank God you guys are okay."
"That pink haired girl is our daughter Suzuka." Saito said.
"Really?"
"Yep."
"Then it's really a pleasure to meet you. I'm Maki. You must be Suzuka's father then."
"Yep and I'm Saito, Panthalassa Guy."
"And I'm Azumi, former mermaid princess of the North Pacific Ocean. I'm Suzuka's mother." Azumi smiled.
Everyone was shocked and looked at Saito and Azumi.
"How were you able to tell straight away?" Nikora was surprised.
"The boys told us." Saito smiled.
"Which Boys?" Taki asked confusingly.
"Wait. You mean...?" Kaito realized.
"Yep. Masahiro Hamasaki and Nagisa Shirai." Azumi smiled.
"Whao! When did you meet them?" Luchia asked.
"Between evening and night. After we had a chat, they told us about the cafe."
Flashback:
"Wait! So there's the cafe on the beach?" Saito asked in surprise.
"Yeah. It's on the beach. The food is so awesome." Masahiro said happily.
"Really? We never went there before." Azumi said.
"You should go there. You will even see some familiar faces." Nagisa smiled.
"Familiar faces? Like who?" Saito asked.
"We won't tell you. See for yourself." Both boys smiled.
"Okay Okay Boys. We will see for ourself." Azumi sighed.
"The boys must have went there." Suzuka said happily, "Mummy. Daddy. Can I go there as well?"
"Sure Suzuka. Thanks for the information boys." Azumi smiled.
"We will go there at night. We appreciate your suggestion." Saito said.
"Trust me. You will never regret it." Masahiro smiled.
"You are gonna have the best time in your life." Nagisa said happily.
Back to present:
"Wow. I'm so happy that our boys told you guys about this cafe." Hanon said happily.
"Good thing that you guys met them in the park." Rina smiled.
"I'm the owner of this cafe." Maki said.
"Really? That's good to hear." Saito smiled.
"Well it's a good thing that we came to this route." Azumi said.
"What do you mean by that?" Kaito asked.
"Think about how we came here." Saito smiled.
Everyone is guessing about it.
"I saw just now that your car is parked near the cafe." Gaito said.
"And you were standing there." Hippo said.
It was then everyone realized...
"Wait do you mean...?" Taki asked in shock.
"Yes. We were on a ride and saw the beach cafe the boys told us about." Saito said.
"It was then we heard screams, shouts and evil laughter." Azumi said, "To our shock, we saw that water demon had Kaito and Luchia at his grip, poor Yuri lying on the sand and others being in the cage."
"That water demon is the most scary and the most angriest water demon I have ever seen." Sara said.
"Even scarier than Mikeru." Seira said in fright.
Suddenly Hippo realized one thing.
"Maki-san! How's Yuri-san? Is she okay?" Hippo asked in worried.
Maki smiled.
"Don't worry Hippo. She woke up." Maki smiled.
"Did she realize Suzuka took her there?" Luchia said.
"Yeah. Suzuka was beside her when Yuri woke up. When Yuri realized that, she hugged Suzuka, thanked her and is now having a chat with her."
Hippo then bowed at Saito and Azumi.
"How can I ever thank your daughter for saving Yuri-san's life?" Hippo cried.
"Good thing your daughter was able to carry her in time when she saw her." Luchia smiled.
"Yeah. If it wasn't for her, Yuri would have been dead in a matter of seconds." Kaito said.
"And I can't bear to hear how Hippo would have got through." Gaito said.
"Your daughter is really brave. I wish I could be like her." Seira sighed.
"It was the least she could do when she saw Yuri in a state like this." Nikora said.
"Good thing she was able to make it in time." Taki said.
"So the children of the former Mermaid Princesses saved us." Hanon said happily.
"Yep. Two boys and a girl." Rina smiled.
"Wait? They saved you as well?" Saito asked.
"Yeah but indirectly." Hippo said.
"How so?" Azumi asked.
"Let's talk about this later and check on Yuri." Maki said.
"And Mermaid Princesses..." Hippo smiled.
Everybody cheered.
"I think she will be so excited to see us like this." Luchia said happily.
"Suzuka will be so happy." Azumi said happily.
"I really wonder how Suzuka will react into seeing this." Hanon said.
"Don't know but let's find out." Rina smiled.
And so the four mermaid princesses went straight to the cafe.
"Wait for us!" Sara and Seira exclaimed and they follow them as well.
"Boy looks like Suzuka is in for a surprise." Nikora smiled.
"Wait up people!" Taki said.
"I have got to make sure that I have to tell Suzuka not to tell it to others." Hippo said.
"Come brother. Let's see what exciting things happen next." Gaito smiled.
"Yeah. Come Saito, our big bro." Kaito said happily.
"Oh Please. Really?" Saito whined in which Kaito and Gaito laughed.
So they all went to the cafe.
"Oh by the way Maki, the boys also told us that you discovered Nikora's mermaid form." Saito said.
"Yep. True enough." Maki said.
Maki's beach cafe:
"Yuri. I'm glad you are alright." Suzuka said, "Those electric shock must be painful."
"It sure is." Yuri said, "Darn that water demon. He made it so easy to escape but a very hard price to pay for doing so."
"But I'm glad you are alive still. Normally electric shocks like this would kill a normal person."
"But I'm glad that you took me to the cafe where Maki-san was able to treat me. Thank you very much."
"I'm flattened."
Both girls started to laugh. A few seconds later the door opened, revealing everyone else.
"Suzuka! Yuri! How have you been?" Luchia smiled.
At that point, Hippo ran to Yuri and hugged her.
"Yuri-san! You are alive!" Hippo cried.
"I'm fine Hippo-sama. But you should thank Suzuka also." Yuri smiled.
"Suzuka. I'm really in your debt."
"Thanks Hippo but you don't have to pay."
Everyone laughed.
"It seems that you are blackened out a bit as a result of those electric shock you received." Nikora said.
"You better take a bath." Taki said.
"I will but before that." Yuri said before smiling at Saito and Azumi, "I really thank your daughter for bringing me here. She is very brave."
"Well. It's the least she could do." Azumi smiled.
"I'm flattened yet again." Suzuka said
Everyone laughed. Yuri went to the bathroom afterwards.
"Well Suzuka. Would you look at your mom for a moment?" Saito smiled.
"Sure da..." Suzuka was then shocked.
What she saw next was that Azumi, Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Sara and Seira are in their idol forms. This is the first time she saw them being in their idol form.
"Mommy. You are in your idol form." Suzuka said in shock.
"That's right Suzuka. You really wanted to see it and now you got the chance." Azumi smiled.
"Not one but all of us." Seira smiled.
Suzuka looked at them and said:
"Awwww! All of you look pretty."
"Like it?" Hanon asked.
"Very liked it but what is that form used for?"
"We used our idol forms to defeat our enemies by singing." Luchia said.
"And also Aqua Regina gives us new songs and upgrades our gear." Sara said.
"Oh. Mommy told me about it." Suzuka said.
"Well who do you think is the...you know what." Rina blushed since she isn't a girly type unlike Luchia and Hanon.
Suzuka looked at them before smiling, "Mommy and Luchia-san."
"Wow. Children of a mermaid or the former mermaid princesses sure do love their parents a lot." Maki smiled.
"Yeah. It seems that all three of them got the utmost caring from their parents." Nikora said.
"So it's no doubt that they will choose their moms always." Taki said.
"What about the case of Hotoshi and Kazama?" Hippo asked.
"We will talk about that later." Gaito said, "We are now talking about the former mermaid princesses and their families."
"I had a feeling that Nagisa will choose Yukito and Masahiro will choose Naoki." Kaito said.
"Hey about us? We care for them as well." Hanon said.
"Yeah. They also chosen us as well." Rina said.
"But your relationship with the boys didn't start well at that time." Luchia smiled and teased them, "For you Hanon, you always made fun of Nagisa-kun. As for Rina, your relationship with Hamasaki-san made no progress at all."
"But at that time, I didn't know that Nagisa is the son of the former mermaid princess of the South Atlantic whom I succeeded which was Yukito." Hanon said, "We also didn't know that there was a law in which we can actually reveal our true form if the boys are the sons of the mermaid or the former mermaid princesses."
"I also never knew that Masahiro is the son of the former mermaid princess of the North Atlantic whom I succeeded which was Naoki." Rina said, "I never even thought that there was actually a law in which I can reveal my form freely if his last name is Hamasaki."
"I want to find love." Seira said happily.
"Don't worry. You will." Sara smiled.
"But everything has now being revealed and there is nothing to hide." Azumi said.
Everyone nodded. Hippo then went to Saito and Azumi.
"Now that you two have discovered the mermaid princesses's idol form, I'm requesting you please do not tell anyone about it." Hippo pleaded.
"Sure we won't tell." Suzuka smiled, "But what will be the consequences?"
"You can say that we will be stuck in this world forever." Maki said.
"That's right. If the others knew about it, they will start taking pictures of it..." Nikora started.
"...And go on world tours." Taki sighed.
"Which means it that case, they will never return back to their kingdoms." Kaito said.
"I see." Saito said, "But what about the boys?"
"Don't worry. The boys also saw their idol form as well." Hippo smiled.
"We showed them after they indirectly helped us to defeat the two other water demons." Luchia said.
"Oh about that!" Azumi exclaimed, "Why did that water demon go crazy against you?"
"He went crazy because we killed his sisters which we didn't know." Kaito said.
"I never thought that our songs could actually kill them as well." Seira cried.
"They never do but..." Sara said and she was sad herself.
"What happened was that they couldn't cover their ears and their ears got busted as a result." Gaito said.
"Yeah but they tried to kill us as well." Hanon said.
"Octopus mentally and Horns physically." Rina sighed.
"Octopus mentally and Horns physically?" Saito asked in confusion.
"What Rina meant that the water demon octopus taunted us mentally and the water demon with horns physically." Luchia said.
"Oh dear. It looks like you guys were hurt." Azumi said.
"Not all of us. In the water demon octopus case, Kaito, Gaito and Yuri were thrown in the sky and slammed on the sand." Nikora said.
"Slammed on the sand? That's dangerous!" Suzuka gasped.
"Well it was lucky that at least we didn't land on the rocks." Gaito sighed.
"Yeah. Otherwise you might have your heads busted open." Hippo said.
"We might have been dead in that case." Kaito said.
Everyone nodded.
"And in the water demon with horns's case, all of us got whipped with Nikora and Seira getting slapped as well." Taki said, "I wasn't there at that time."
Saito, Azumi and Suzuka are shocked!
"Whipped and slapped?!" Azumi asked in shock.
"It was extremely painful. Those whiplashes were the sign of her brutality." Seira said sadly.
"Well at least she didn't cut us." Nikora said.
"Didn't you boys do anything?" Saito asked in shock.
"What can we do? We were hypnotized." Kaito said.
"Hypnotized?" Suzuka asked curiously.
"Yeah. We were hypnotized to fall for her beauty." Gaito said.
"It was only when the green skies came and she was weakened that we were free from her hypnotism." Hippo said.
"Green sky?" Azumi wondered before realizing it, "Wait! You mean..."
Everyone nodded and smiled.
"How did the boys save you even though it's indirectly?" Saito asked.
Hanon stepped forward and explained it.
"Well, just when the water demon octopus was all over us and Yukito and I were on her grip, we heard the flute's tune which almost matches the tune of our songs. Then the water demon octopus was distracted and completely lost her focus on us." Hanon explained, "We knew that Nagisa was playing his Mermaid Flute and I was so happy."
"As for the water demon with horns, she was continuously whipping us and had me and Naoki on her grip, the green skies appeared. The water demon with horns was weakened immediately and got dizzy, drowsy and her power level was reduced." Rina explained with a smile, "I was glad that Masahiro was wearing his Mermaid of Love locket at that time."
"Aqua Regina-sama gave us an extra orange, aqua and green pearl so that we can sing with the current mermaid princesses." Sara smiled.
"Wait! So Yukito and Naoki can turn into idol forms as well?" Azumi gasped.
Everyone nodded with a smile. Azumi jumped happily.
"Well this means that all four sets have been completed." Nikora smiled.
"Former and current pink, aqua, green and orange princesses can now sing together." Taki said.
"Indeed. This is going to be a big bad news for the other water demons." Hippo said in which everyone laughed.
"This is amazing." Kaito said.
"I think their singing level are going to be more powerful than ever before." Gaito said.
"Luchia and Azumi, Hanon and Yukito, Rina and Naoki, Seira and Sara." Maki smiled, "Am I correct?"
Everyone nodded.
"But then what happened next after you defeated them?" Suzuka asked.
"Well we showed the boys our idol form." Sara said.
"And they had dinner with us with their parents." Seira said.
"Did the water demon with octopus and water demon with horns attack together or separately?" Azumi asked.
"No. The water demon octopus attacking us and Nagisa rescuing us happened the day before yesterday." Hanon said.
"The water demon with horns attacking us and Masahiro rescuing us happened yesterday." Rina said.
"And today their brother attacked us and you rescued us today." Luchia said happily.
"We owe you a big thanks Saito." Kaito said.
"Yep. He is our big bro after all." Gaito smiled.
"Boooo!" Saito whined in which everybody laughed.
The six mermaid princesses turned back into their human forms. Yuri came from the bathroom after taking a bath.
"Feeling good Yuri-san?" Hippo smiled.
"Of course! It feels great." Yuri said happily.
"Do you want to eat something?" Maki asked.
"Ah! That's why we came here." Saito smiled and clapped.
"Do you have a glass of water by the way?" Suzuka asked.
"Sure. Give me a few seconds." Maki said and he rushed to get a glass of water.
"By the way. You guys really had the best family reunion ever!" Luchia said happily.
"Yeah but how did you know?" Azumi asked in surprise.
"I had a feeling that the boys told you in school, right?" Saito asked.
Everyone nodded.
"But we would love to hear it from you." Seira smiled.
But little did they know what will be next.
Maki was holding a glass of water and was about to give it to Suzuka when suddenly he fell down and the glass of water spill out and the water went right straight to Suzuka. Everyone was shocked.
"OMG Suzuka! I'm so..." Maki was about to apologize but, in turn, he was shocked as well
Everyone was shell-shocked as Suzuka is turning into...into...
"Suzuka. What's happening to you?" Saito asked in shock.
The song that the six mermaid princesses sang is called 'The Legend of Mermaid.'
Me: Oh dear! What's happening to Suzuka just because the water went straight to her?
Azumi *whispering*: Beats me.
Voice: Pink Pearl Voice.
*Luchia transforms and she and Kaito appears out of nowhere.*
Saito: Now that's a surprise.
Kaito *smiling*: Hey bro? What's up?
Saito: Good to see you there and don't call me big bro!
*Everyone laughed*.
Suzuka: Are you guys going to sing?
Luchia *smiling*: Yeah. Come on Azumi, let's sing.
Azumi *jumping happily*: Let's do it. Pink Pearl Voice!
*Azumi also transforms into her idol form as she and Luchia began to sing 'Pearls of Mermaid'. Kaito and Saito are enjoying the song while Suzuka clapped and clapped.*
Me: See you in Chapter 16, folks! ;).
Saito: And don't forget to review and like. Cheers.
