Now back in the underwater kingdom of Atlantica, Devon, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch floated about in the palace courtyard, waiting for Ariel as she met with her father, King Triton inside the palace to explain everything that has happened over the past few days. The heroes were relieved that their chaotic ordeal with Ursula, the Sea Witch was now over, and that Ariel was back home safe and sound.
"Eric's a really great guy." Sora says
"He's pretty brave too, ramming the ship into Ursula like that." Hiccup says
"And stabbing her in the gut with the bowsprit." Astrid says
"Ouch... That had to hurt." Snotlout says wincing at the image still fresh in his mind
"Yeah. A lot." Fishlegs says holding his stomach with his hands
"Well, at least that Sea Witch is gone for good this time." Goofy says
"Let's just hope she stays that way and pray that Teridax and Lord Thanatos don't decide to resurrect her again." Devon says
Eventually, Ariel enters the courtyard with Flounder and Sebastian and swims up to Devon, Sora, and the world-travelers after meeting with King Triton.
"How'd it go with your father, Ariel?" Sora asks
"Oh, all's well. He says he's grateful to have me safe and back home. Daddy's definitely softened up since last we spoke." Ariel says
"That's good." Sora says
"Glad to hear that you and your father are finally getting along." Devon says
"You know what else he said? There's going to be another musical!" Flounder says
"Yes. This one will be even better than the last one." Sebastian says
"It's to celebrate the new beginning of peace and harmony between land and sea. And we were wondering... if you'd all like to take part in the musical extravaganza." Ariel says
Devon, Sora and the others were a bit surprised.
"Really?" Hiccup says
"You want us to perform in the musical?" Astrid asks
"Of course. If you want." Ariel says
The two Keyblade Wielders looked at each of their friends for a moment, then turned toward each other. Devon smiled and shrugged his shoulders, thinking this would be a good way to celebrate their victory over Ursula. Turning back to the mermaid princess, the heroes agreed to the offer.
"We'd love to." Devon says
"A-hyuk! This'll be fun!" Goofy says
"Yeah!" Donald says
"Alright! Let's do it!" Sora says
Sometime later, all the sea creatures and merpeople of Atlantica gathered in the concert hall for the new musical, expecting an even better performance than the previous one, which everyone remembered ended in disaster. Once everyone was settled, the lights dimmed and Sebastian swims up from behind the conductor's podium to the cheers of the crowd. The red crab places his right-claw over his chest and bows his head with a smile. Soon, the crowd quiets down as Sebastian turns to the stage and grabs the conductor's baton with the same claw. He taps the podium twice, gaining the attention of the concert band, and with a wave of his baton, the musical began.
(A New Day is Dawning - Starts)
Same as before, the curtains of bubbles part away from the middle and the three golden clams rise up on the stage. The clams open up one by one, this time starting with the one on the left, followed by the clams on the right and the center. And inside the clams, in the same positions as before, was Triton's daughters: Adrina, Alana, Arista, Adella, Aquata, and Attina as they singed together.
Ariel's Sisters:
Welcome the dawning of a happy age of new beginnings.
Land and sea have come together,
Joined in peace and harmony.
Fairy tales and miracles,
Are what we're singing of.
Our dear princess Ariel,
Truly fell in love.
With a prince, a human prince,
Who lived so far above.
Another clam rises up on stage, surrounded by blue shells and blossoming like an underwater flower. The six mermaids swim up to the clam and gesture toward it with their hands. The clam opens up, revealing Ariel sitting inside.
Ariel:
Wishes really can come true,
If you want them to.
And this happiness inside,
I owe to ev'ry one of you.
Ariel's sisters swim up to her with three on each side.
Ariel's Sisters:
How about you introduce us,
To these lovely friends of yours?
The mermaid princess performs a spin around to the left, then gestures her left-hand toward the back of the concert hall as she calls out to her friends.
Ariel:
Come take a bow,
Donald, Goofy, Sora, and Devon!
The crowd of merpeople and sea creatures glance back and cheered as Devon, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch swim into the concert hall, heading for the stage.
Donald:
Congratulations, dear princess, to you.
Goofy:
You found your first love,
And he found you too.
Sora:
We were glad to help you out,
And very proud, it's true.
Devon and Sora perform a forward flip and an inverted flip as they swim onto the stage with their friends, turning towards the crowd.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy:
Seeing how we made you grin,
Just makes us want to twirl a fin.
Ariel swims upwards as she sings her next bit, while her sisters swim around her.
Ariel:
Wishes really can come true,
If you want them to.
Devon, Sora, Luna, and Toothless swim up and surround the mermaid princess as she brings her hands to her chest, then spreads her hands out, gesturing to the crowd.
Ariel:
And this happiness inside,
I owe to ev'ry one of you.
Ariel's Sisters:
Be so kind to introduce,
The King and his loyal friends.
Ariel:
Please say hello:
Daddy, Sebastian, Flounder.
King Triton rides into the concert hall in his dolphin chariot with the trident glowing in his right-hand. He rides up towards the top of the hall and shoots a magical blast at the crystals, illuminating them in a dazzling display.
"Ariel, I'm so happy for you." Triton says
Sebastian:
Yes, happy endings are so rare and so few.
Flounder swims up to Sebastian's side on his left, joining in on the musical.
Flounder:
We were glad to help,
And very proud, it's true.
Sebastian and Flounder:
Seeing how we made you grin,
Just makes us want to twirl a fin.
Ariel's Sisters:
Any other friends of yours,
That might be waiting in the wings?
Ariel:
Come say hello,
All my friends from ev'ry corner of the world!
Dolphins, stingrays, jellyfish, and other aquatic creatures swim up onto the stage, joining in on the celebration. For the finale, everyone swims down into their positions over the three golden clams.
On the left was Attina with Aquata, Astrid, Stormfly, Hiccup, and Toothless to the left, and Adella, Fishlegs, and Meatlug to the right. On the right was Andrina with Arista, Snotlout, Hookfang on the right, and Alana, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, and Barf and Belch on the left. And in the center was Ariel with Devon and Luna on her right, and Sora, Donald, and Goofy on her left.
All:
A new day is dawning of a happy age of new beginnings.
Land and sea have come together,
Joined in peace and harmony.
Fairy tales and miracles,
Are what we're singing of.
Our dear princess Ariel,
Prince Eric from above.
A happy end, forever after.
Full of joy and love.
(A New Day is Dawning - Ends)
The entire hall roared with cheers and applause, and Devon, Sora, Ariel and the others all bowed to the crowd.
As soon as the song was over, a small light suddenly appeared in the center of the concert hall, capturing everyone's attention. Then, a collection of bubbles appeared and converged on the light, coalescing into a larger bubble of light. It was the trigger for another gateway.
The Celestial Ring on Devon's finger glows more brighter with its blue light, and Soul Calibur appears in his right-hand, also glowing brightly, reacting to the presence of the magic bubble. Devon takes hold of his crystal Keyblade with both hands and holds it straight out. A ball of light forms on the tip of Soul Calibur, followed by a crown of light, which appears beneath him. Light from the crown gusts upward, and the underwater environment of the concert hall changes, transporting Devon, Sora and Co., Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, King Triton, and all the sea creatures and merpeople of Atlantica into a corridor of light. The magic bubble shoots up a golden beam of light and the Keyhole appears with a golden outline and torrents of light flowing inside. Devon performs a backflip, spins around to the right four times, then aims Soul Calibur at the Keyhole. A blue halo ring forms at the tip of the crystal Keyblade and a beam of light shoots out toward the Keyhole, striking it. The Keyhole shines brightly with a blinding light, and everyone is transported back into Atlantica and into the concert hall.
Everyone stares up at where the Keyhole once was, murmuring in wonder and amazement. Sora and Luna swim up to Devon's side with the spikey-haired teen on his left and the Night Fury dolphin on his right. Devon turns to them and nods his head with a smile. Ariel and Flounder swim up alongside Devon, Sora, and Luna, curious about what they had just witnessed.
"Devon, Sora, what happened?" Ariel asks
"A new pathway's opened." Sora says
"Which means its time for us to turn tail and move along." Devon says
"What? You gonna go? This is good-bye?" Sebastian says
"I won't do it! We'll never say good-bye!" Donald says
"That's right! A-one, two, three, four..." Goofy says
Sora, Donald, and Goofy got together as they started to sing their own song.
Sora, Donald, Goofy:
Even though we're hittin' the road,
Our worlds are still connected.
"Which means..." Sora says
Sora swims upwards with Donald and Goofy swimming around him.
Sora, Donald, Goofy:
We are free to come and go.
"And sing!" Donald says holding up his right index finger
For the final part of their song, Sora, Donald, and Goofy swim down to Ariel and surround her.
Sora, Donald, Goofy:
So don't be sad, and always know,
We'll come back soon to say hello!
Ariel giggles to their singing. Then, the mermaid princess turns to Devon and his friends as they swim up to her. Luna spoke first as she approaches Ariel.
"We'll always keep you close to our hearts, Ariel. Good luck to both you and Eric." Luna says
"Oh, thank you, Luna." Ariel says
Ariel wraps her arms around Luna's head, embracing the female Night Fury dolphin in a hug. They soon pull away, and Ariel turns to Devon next as he swims up to her.
"We'll drop by and visit when we can." Devon says
The Keyblade Wielder places his right-hand on the mermaid's left-arm and wishes her luck.
"Take care, Ariel." Devon says
Ariel smiles and pulls Devon closer to her, wrapping her arms around him in a warm hug.
"Oh, Devon. You are such a great friend. I'm so happy to have met you and your friends. Thank you for everything." Ariel says
Devon smiles and returns the hug as he wraps his arms around the mermaid princess.
"No problem. Glad we could help make your dream come true." Devon says
The Keyblade Wielder pulls away from the hug and glances back over his left-shoulder at his friends as they all smiled, then faces the mermaid princess again. He nods his head to her and she returns the gesture with a nod of her own. Swimming ahead of everyone, Devon holds out his right-hand and summons Soul Calibur back into his grip, then holds the magic weapon upwards, shooting another beam of blue light and opening up a blue portal to the Ocean Between.
Sora, Donald, Goofy, Luna, Spyro, Cynder, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout, Hookfang, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Barf and Belch swim up to Devon's side and join him as they prepared to continue on with their adventure. They look back at Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, King Triton, and all the sea creatures and merpeople of Atlantica one last time. Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian smiled. Even King Triton smiled as he silently wished the heroes luck on their journey, nodding his head to them. Devon, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and the Viking Teens waved their hands good-bye, then swim upwards into the portal, which closes behind them.
Sometime later after Xemnas' defeat, in the world of Atlantica, Eric stood on the beach, looking out towards Ariel, who looks back at him from a nearby rock with a saddened expression. Triton watches from a distance with Sebastian, who stood on a small rock next to him on his right.
"She really does love him, doesn't she, Sebastian?" Triton asks
The red crab nods his head.
"Hmm... Well, it's like I always say, Your Majesty. Children got to be free to lead their own lives." Sebastian says
Sebastian glances up at Triton, who looks down at him with a raised left-eyebrow.
"You always say that?" Triton asks
Sebastian chuckles and waves his right-claw sheepishly. Turning back to the scene before him, the Sea King let out a sigh.
"Ohh... Then I guess there's just one problem left." Triton says
"And what's that, Your Majesty?" Sebastian asks
"How much I'm going to miss her." Triton says
Sebastian looks up at Triton, surprised by his answer. With the trident glowing in his left-hand, the Sea King touches the water with the sacred relic and its golden magic travels along the surface towards Ariel, enveloping her body. The mermaid princess looks down in surprise, then smiles in realization. She looks over at her father as he smiled and nodded his head. Then, Ariel is lifted up off the rock and into a hover a few feet into the air. Eric watches in amazement from the shore. A bright light shines on the red-haired mermaid as she transforms, blinding the human prince, who turns away and shields his eyes with his right-hand.
Eventually, the light diminishes with Ariel nowhere to be seen. Eric looks out towards the sea and she emerges out of the water, wearing a glittering, periwinkle dress with a big smile on her face. Running up to her, Eric lifts Ariel up and spins her around counterclockwise before setting her back down. The two lovers embrace and finally share their first kiss.
Soon afterwards, Ariel and Eric immediately wed and are married in another grand ceremony onboard the wedding ship. For the special occasion, Ariel wore a white wedding dress with pale green trimming, big puffy sleeves, and a sparkling golden tiara on her veil.
Attending the wedding onboard the ship was many of Eric's loyal subjects. And in the sea surrounding the ship was King Triton, Ariel's older sisters, and the dozens of sea creatures and merpeople of Atlantica. Max rises up between Ariel and Eric and gives both of them a lick, while all of the guests cheered and applauded for the newlyweds. Carlotta and Grimsby stood by on the side as they watched them. Feeling emotional about the wedding, Carlotta buries her face in Grimsby's purple tie and cries. In the water, Ariel's sisters happily wave their hands to their youngest sibling with King Triton behind them. Scuttle flies up to the ship, carrying Flounder with his finned feet to say farewell to the mermaid princess. Ariel kisses Flounder's nose, then ruffles Scuttle's head with her right-hand. The seagull and yellow tropical fish soon descend with Flounder waving his left-fin good-bye and Scuttle winking his left-eye at Ariel.
Sebastian was present at the ceremony as well, standing on top of the wedding cake, crying tears of joy as he watched the newlyweds side by side with the small miniature dolls of Ariel in his right-arm and Eric in his left-arm. However, the moment was short-lived as Chef Louis arrives for revenge with a cutting knife in his hands. Sebastian gasps and jumps down off the cake as Louis brings his knife down, slicing the cake all the way in half. The red crab quickly crawls down along the deck of the ship with the human chef in hot pursuit. Sebastian soon stops and looks up at a wooden beam above him. Turning back to Chef Louis, he came up with an idea.
"Ah-ha!" Louis says
Smiling with confidence, Sebastian cuts the rope holding the wooden beam with his left-claw, causing it to fall from its position. The wooden beam whacks Chef Louis in the face, causing all but two of his teeth to break and fall from his mouth. Holding his head, Louis falls backwards and faints, while Sebastian jumps off the ship, laughing in triumph.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Sebastian laughs
The red crab lands back into the sea and emerges back to the surface near Flounder and Scuttle, raising his claws into the air.
"Yes!" Sebastian says
Scuttle pats Sebastian twice on the head with his left-wing, congratulating him on his victory over the relentless chef.
"Thank you. Thank you." Sebastian says bowing to the seagull on his right and the yellow tropical fish on his left
Ariel walks up to the port side of the wedding ship and looks down at her father. Using his power of Aquakinesis, King Triton lifts himself up out of the sea to his daughter's level through a summoned wave of moving water. Ariel and Triton looked at each other affectionately, then embrace in a warm, loving hug.
"I love you, Daddy." Ariel whispers
(Part of Your World Finale - Starts)
Chorus:
Now we can walk!
Now we can run!
Now we can stay all day in the sun!
Ariel and Triton pull away from their hug and they both look over at Eric, who gives the Sea King a formal bow of respect. Triton smiles and bows back, nodding his head and accepting the human prince as his new son-in-law. Turning back to his daughter and placing his right-hand under her chin one last time, Triton descends back down to the sea, while Ariel blows him a kiss with her right-hand. Eric walks up to his wife and joins her on her left side. Taking each other arm-in-arm, they wave their hands to everyone in farewell.
Chorus:
Just you and me!
And I can be!
Part of Your World!
With a wave of his trident, King Triton casts a beautiful rainbow over the sky. The wedding ship continues its course across the sea, while Triton, Ariel's sisters, Flounder, Sebastian, Scuttle, and all the sea creatures and merpeople of Atlantica watch and wave good-bye as it sails further and further out into the distance. Ariel and Eric seal their romantic union with their third and final kiss of true love and they lived happily ever after.
(Part of Your World Finale - Ends)
Ariel couldn't be anymore happy than she already was. Her wish had finally come true. Land and Sea have finally joined together to coexist in peace and harmony. The mermaid princess owed her thanks to many people, but she would never forget the two Keyblade Wielders and their heroic group of friends who stood by her side and helped her achieve this peace between both worlds.
