AN: Don't own anything.
Location: Daughters of Triton's chambers, Atlantica, home of the mer-people... And dick castles.
Time: 22:45
It's been relatively peaceful down in the ocean... Besides the near death of one of Triton's daughter and the "totally not ripping off footloose" [WILD WASTELAND] ban being lifted, life under da sea's been good...
Except for one. Attina, the eldest of seven, was getting strange dreams as of recently. When her sisters ask her what she's been seeing, Attina would not reply no matter how hard she'd do it.. And this time, she's about to see why. [OST BEGIN- MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD]
Location: ?????
Time: ?????
"HOLY SHIT GOOSE 3 DOWN! GOOSE THREE DOWN!"
A radio like voice breaks the silence and jolts Attina awake. She turns to find where it's coming from and was greeted with nothing. Clips of the surface world start to play.
"MY. ASS. IS. HEAVY." The first clip commandeered, its voice originating from a man wearing a green military uniform with "H.E.C.U" on its chest plate. Attina try's to call out to him but was blinded by a green flash. As another clip began to play, this time showing what looked like man around her age in the same uniform, albeit with a gas helmet. "HEY GET BACK HERE YOU BIG ORANGE FUCK..." Before she can call out again, she looks down and realized something. She has legs.
Scared, she tries to move but was frozen in place when an alien like voice breaks her movement.
"Prepare... For unforeseen.. Consequences." The voice said, with images of the same man fighting an alien like force never before seen. Just before she can answer a third time, she looses consciousness once again.
[OST END:THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD]
When she gains conscious. Attina expected to wake up once more on her shell bed, only this time... she didn't. Instead of the calm ocean waters around her, she's greeted by the metal of an osprey. And sitting idle nearby, was the same young man from the clips. Only this time without a helmet, staring his green eyes into hers.
For a while, the two just stared at each other for a moment... Until she started to shamelessly attack the Marine.
"WHO ARE YOU, HUMAN?" she started, "WHY DO I HAVE LEGS? ARE YOU WITH U-" The marine cuts her question short and tackles her onto the osprey.
"LET GO... of.../HOW ABOUT YOU... Calm..." he paused then realized he's on top of a woman blushing furiously at the position.
His PTSD from being forced to play a game on a brother/sister duo wanting to rail each other and eat people was in full force and pushed himself off from their trance and sat down beside her.
"Heh... Guess we got on the wr- OW! JESUS LADY!? WHAT THE FUCKING HELL'S WRONG WITH Y- Wait.. Wait a fucking Minute." He paused, looks at the woman's hair, and then at her 'seashell bra'.
"You're Attina, that bitchy elder sister to Arie-"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW OF ME AND MY SISTER!?" Attina demanded back.,
"Uh... the Disney films? Duh! Are you even real, or some shitty cosplayer?"
"What in Neptune's a cosplay-"
"Okay I take that back, you're real. Nice to finally meet someone that isn't the feds or my Alien guns..." He chuckled, then stood himself up and reached his hand out.
"Adrian Shepard, Corporal, United States Marines H.E.C.U Special Forces."
"Quite a name full... for a human." she sneered on the last part out as Adrian helps her up before introducing herself, "I am Attina, Eldest Princess and heir of my father, King Triton's and... My late mother's kingdom of Atlantica..." She sighed, before continuing on.
"Now can you explain to me what is going o-"
"Perhaps... I can be of assistance, for that... Hm?" [OST BEGIN - Vague Voices]
Both turned around to see the sound of the source. Yep. You fucking guessed it. It's The G-Man.
"Oh great it's you. Whadd'ya want Fed?" Adrian sneered, while Attina stared in fear of this suitcase man.
"Now now, Corporal Shepard... Let's not do anything to... Upset my employers... Hm?" he paused, then focused his attention on the former mermaid.
"Ah Princess Attina... Quite an honor.. to meet someone of higher position of power like yourself... your majesty..."
"Uh... heheh..." Attina started to sweat, thinking of what to say. "No problem??? Why am I here though? Can I go back to m-"
"In due-time Your Majesty... As for you Corporal Shepard, My employers have... Accepted... Your evaluation, and will be assigning you and the Princess."
"FUCKING FINALLY!" He exclaimed. "Where am I needed? Can I keep sparky and the gang?"
"Your... Weapons are allowed, Corporal..." G-Man answered, before the area around them turns from an osprey into a forest frozen in time.
"W- WHAT THE!? WHY AM I IN HUMAN CLOTHING!? M-" Attina enraged, now dressed in village clothing similar in design to the one Ariel wore in the film but without the bow tie.
"Your... Father, will be informed of the assignment... My employers will... Make sure of that..." He paused again as a door into a white void opens.
"Until we meet again... Corporal Shepard... And see her safely on the employment, Corporal Shepard..." He straightened his tie and disappeared behind the void. [OST END]
Location: Outskirts of the former Beast's Castle.
Time: 23:55
Not too far from the Marine and Mermaid, Joe, Henry, and Belle were trying to get an understanding on Vito's arrival and meetup with Belle.
"So lemme get this straight Vito, after cappin' Mr. Falcone ya got into a car crash." Henry started,
"Wasn't pretty Henry lemme tell ya's but yep."
"When ya's woke up ya were an orphan prince whose parents died in the fuckin' revolution." Joe teased,
"Was confused as you are Joe."
"Then around turning 11 a crazy bitch turned you into a... furry?" Henry continued, "Yep."
"And after a decade, I stumbled into your castle and... broke the curse?"
"Correct signo-." Belle interrupted him mid sentence and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, Joe and Henry meanwhile went from shocked to laughing their balls off.
"WHAT'D I TELL YA HENRY?" Joe laughed, "NO MORE ROSIE PALM FOR HIM HAH!" Joe looked back to see an angry yet trying to hold his laughter in Vito and pissed off Belle.
"What? Don't all the bro-" before he can finish, a loud shockwave was sent through the vicinity of the group, all eyes turned to the source's direction.
"I don't know what the fuck that is..." Vito started, "but I'm no-" He stopped and upholstered a colt after spotting two silhouettes in the distance.
"shit. The fuck we do now, Vito?" Joe asked, grabbing for his piece. "Idunno Joe bu-" He stopped when the figures from earlier in this chapter finally get closer raising their hands.
"Great. Just what I needed. Stranded with you and now under arrest by Fi-"
"WOAH WOAH HEY HEY THERE LITTLE LADY, CALM YOUR BUSOM FOR A FUCKIN WHILE WE'RE NO-"
"ITS PRINCESS ATTINA YOU FAT FU-"
"EASY JOE! THAT'S ENOUGH.." Henry interrupted.
"sorry for my dumb Hawaiian shirt friend 'ere, but we thought you was Six.." he paused, then started to introduce himself. "Name's Henry, over there is Joe, Vito, and Belle." He answered as Henry raised his hand out to the marine.
"Adrian, US Marines Corporal." He shook. "What's a bunch of mobsters like you doing out here anyway?"
"long story, but first we's gotta find Belle here's Da-" before he can continue, a radio-like voice interrupted Henry's introductions.
"Vito you there?"
"Yeah I'm 'ere Six. What's up?" Vito replied.
"we found Belle's pa. Good news he's alright"
"OH MERCI DIEU! WHERE IS HE, SIX?" Belle exclaimed as she picks up the radio.
"I ain't there now, but from what I heard from Joshua, it's some villain hide out... Phillip's gonna set up a base of ops for us. Meet us there." The voice replied.
"Merde, will do." She hung the radio back up and faced her eyes to the group.
For a while nothing was said, until Attina broke the silence. "Who's in Neptune's ass crack of a whale names their kid six?" Everyone minus Adrian (who's snickering like a kid from the outburst) stared back at the former mermaid in confusion as they walk to their new base of operations.
AN: Welp. Time to cross off another schizophrenic idea off the list of things to add in this 'ere fic. Yeah Shepard is in this shit show now. And yes, he will be (in the future not right now. Unless you count the first meeting as such) in love with the eldest snark bitch of Ariel's Sister, Attina.
Always pictured the mer-people in Disney prior to the film as this Fascist like society and hatred towards humans, so naturally trying to write it as such is funny, stupid and difficult.
Also yes, I did use Shepard's mind as inspiration for making my version of Adrian. Also used inspiration from a good friend of mine and fellow Half Life fan called "MetalBit", as his profile pic is an HECU grunt and a fellow Metokur nut job like me. Also when showing him this story, told me to figure out a way to write parts of his escapades in as Shepard. One of which (the degenerate piece of shit game known as Andy and Lei Lei) is one of many to come and be referenced.
G-Man Writing's fun by the way. Should do it more often kids! Anyways, next chapter's come when I feel like it. Hope you enjoying this wild ride to hell and back.
