Chapter Six: The Prince Merhog
Back in the ocean, Alfred and Angelica had just finished explaining to the other two daughters about what has happened with Amy not long ago. The two girls were a violet coloured Merhog named Amanda, and a peach coloured Merhog named Diana.
"You actually changed Amy into a Mobian?!" Amanda shrieked.
"But, Daddy! Aren't you at least worried that the Mobians up there would eventually hunt for us, if they ever found out what she is, or where we are?" Diana asked with worry.
"No need to worry, my dears. Only one of Amelia's friends up there knows who, and what she is. I trust him enough that he'd remain her identity a secret. He already risked getting into trouble by his mother just to protect her." Alfred explained.""
"If you're so sure, Daddy." Amanda stated.
"Your Majesty!" called one of the knights.
The knight made his way into the throne room, and Alfred looked at him, as he made it to the throne, in front of Alfred.
"Yes, Lional? What is it?" he asked.
"Beg my pardon for the interruption, Sire. But I have come to let you know that Prince Scourge has arrived in the palace." Lional explained.
"Has he really? By all means, let him in. You two, you can go back to what you were doing." Alfred said.
"Yes, Daddy!" the girls said.
And after that, the two girls went back to continue what they were doing, and then a male figure swam his way into the throne room. He was a green Merhog, with cobalt blue eyes, scars on his abs, and black tailfins. He was with his minion, named Fang. He was purple and white Merboa, purple eyes, and a lilac tailfins.
"Scourge! What a pleasent surprise for you to drop by so sudden." Alfred greeted.
"Hello, 'Dad!' Glad to have dropped by." Scourge replied, as he bows.
"Your Highness." Fang added, as he also bowed.
"What brings you here?" Alred wondered.
"Well, you may remember that I am engaged to your daughter. Couldn't help for me to see my fiancé." Scourge replied.
"And may I ask, where is the lovely Princess? We only saw your other two, but we didn't see Amelia." Fang asked.
"Oh, Amelia. Well, she went out. She's on a short little holiday for herself. You know, just to help relax her mind from being over excited for the wedding." Alfred lied, for her behalf.
"Oh really? And when did you plan to tell me this? How long has she been gone?" Scourge was concerned.
"It was out of my control, Scourge. She basically already booked it, and left earlier this afternoon. But I understood her reasoning behind it. I mean, when I was hers and your age, I was just as excited on marrying Angelica, I almost didn't even attend my own wedding, because I was too excited. So this little holiday was to put her mind at ease." Alfred explained.
"Oh. Well, that's not a problem. I understand that my 'darling' Amelia needs time for herself. Any idea when she'll be back?" Scourge asked.
"Uh, by what she told me this morning, he said first thing tomorrow afternoon." Alfred replied.
"Not a problem with me. Permission to spend the night until she returns?" Scourge wondered.
"But, of course. You're more or less family, Scourge. You'll be wedded to my daughter. Anyway, I'm going to check on Angelica. Make sure she's doing well. You make yourself at home, Scourge." Alfred told him, as he swam out of the throne room.
As Alfred left the room, Scourge chuckles to himself. Fang turns to face Scourge, as he was confused about what he was laughing at.
"Everything alright, Sire?" Fang wondered.
"Well, of course, Fang, my good fellow. Why wouldn't I be alright?" Scourge retaliated, still chuckling.
"Well, you're chuckling in a very peculiar way. So it has me wondering what would be in your mind, Sire." Fang again wondered.
"Well, you know how Alfred is the most powerful Merhog of the sea?" Scourge started.
"I do know that, yes, Sire." Fang responded
"Well, now could be the perfect moment where I take that trident from him! Who needs to wait for the wedding?" Scourge laughs.
"Oh, I see! One question however, Sire." Fang wondered.
"What's that?" Scourge thought.
"Well, how are you going to do that, Sire? He's a powerful Merhog, and he'll have his guards watching his bed chambers all night." Fang mentioned. Scourge just chuckled.
"Not to worry about that, Fang. I have a plan around that. By meal time, one of my maids who has insisted to help prepare the meals will slip some herbs into their food, which will put them to sleep within the hour." Scourge explained.
"Splended plan, Sire." Fang praised.
"Why, thank you, Fang." Scourge chuckled again.
"Anything you would want me to do, Sire?" Fang wondered.
"Not at the moment. Just wait until it's meal time, and help the maid serve out the food." Scourge told him. Fang bows.
"Hear you loud and clear, Sire!" Fang acknowledged.
And with that, Fang swam out of the throne room. Scourge just looks at the throne with an evil grin on his face.
"Tonight, I will rule the sea! And not only the sea, but up there as well! I can hear the people pleading right now, as this will be their last night alive!" Scourge laughs evilly.

(Scourge singing)
I'll say goodbye, I shall close the doors
The midnight returns, I won't let you in
.
What will I become
Empoisoned inside my heart
.
Tell me, tell me what you want to be
As we're stuck inside of the darkness
Trembling lights are daunting me
Show me, show me what you'd want to see
As we're facing death like it's our last
Night here alive
Our last night here alive
.
As I place this knife and our lives fade away
If I do this wrong who am I to say
.
What will I become
Empoisoned inside my heart
.
Tell me, tell me what you want to be
As we're stuck inside of the darkness
Trembling lights are daunting me
Show me, show me what you'd want to see
As we're facing death like it's our last
Night here alive
Our last night here alive
.
Our last night here alive
.
Tell me, tell me what you want to be (What you want to be)
As we're stuck inside of the darkness
Trembling lights are daunting me (Trembling lights)
Show me, show me what you'd want to see
As we're facing death like it's our last
Night here alive
Our last night here alive
.
Our last night here alive
.
Scourge just got continues to laugh evilly, as he anxiously waits for his plan to proceed later.
