Soejammy's point of view

Location: Gummi Ship

As I flew the ship, I wasn't my rushful, speedy-self as what had transpired after being sneezed out of Monstro, left a sour taste in my mouth.

Donald: That's right. Fly this ship NORMALLY.

I growled softly at how Donald spoke to me as I wasn't even in the mood to either bite his head off or even freeze his bill shut. If anything, I'm just drained. Drained of how I try to keep everyone together, drained of trying to be the main focus to yell at, and tired of the recent discovery of Kitty being a Princess of Heart. Everyone keeps giving me weird looks because of that and it's making me uncomfortable.

Sora: So... Kitty being a Princess of Heart... That has to be something...

Soejammy: Don't talk about it.

Sora: What? I'm just saying.

Soejammy: Just STOP talking about it.

Sora: What is wrong with-

Riku: Sora. No.

Riku got Sora to back off from asking me about anything about what happened in Monstro. Being quite honest, I just want to move on and stop being asked questions about the whole thing.

Nintega: So... When were you going to tell us?

Soejammy: CAN EVERYONE JUST STOP ASKING ME THAT!? FUCK!! We told you already! Merlin had us held to secrecy and it was the heat of the fucking moment! LAY OFF!!

I was on edge as I couldn't stop myself from yelling and decided to just stop the ship and head to my room.

Nintega: Jammy! Wait!

I kept walking from Nintega as the ship began to move again, probably since Donald loves this ship, he's taking over again. I arrive at my room and enter it, then lock it from the inside to stop anyone from coming in. Nintega was outside of my room as he was trying to get in.

Nintega: Dude! Open the door!

Soejammy: Take a hint and leave me alone! I don't feel like talking to anyone right now!

Nintega: Hiding in your room isn't going to fix anything man!! You're just hurting yourself by shutting yourself in!!

Soejammy: GOOD! Because I want to be left alone!! I can't fucking think with all this noise!!!

I didn't hear anything from Nintega as I heard footsteps walk away from my door. I sighed as I decided to try and get some sleep. But not even before that, I began hearing a voice.

???: So, I see you have distanced yourself from your "friends."

Hearing the voice, I jumped out of my bed as I looked around.

Soejammy: WHO'S THERE!?

???: A man... Tied to the Darkness...

I gasped as I heard it behind me and rushed away from it as I saw it was the cloaked figure... Otherwise known as Ansem...

Soejammy: GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!! STOP TALKING TO ME!!!

Ansem (Cloaked): If anything, you're short on a few friends, as I see it. Why not be mine?

Soejammy: I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM!! I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU ANSEM!!!

Ansem (Cloaked): Yet, you're as Heartless as the creatures you face. Soon to be completely eclipsed by your own anger and torment.

I was about to say something, but I looked at my hands to see that my hands had morphed into what looked like dark claws made of shadow. I panicked and began to wave out my hands as I was taking deep breaths.

Ansem (Cloaked): Why fear the Darkness? When you could embrace it instead? Let it fuel your needs. Let its power give you the strength you have been seeking for.

Soejammy: FUCK YOU!!! I'M NOT SOME DAMN PUNK YOU CAN TRICK THAT EASILY!!!

Ansem began to step closer to me as my heart seemed to cry out in pain in feeling him come closer to me.

Ansem (Cloaked): Why not give your heart to Darkness? Let me help you control your rage?

Soejammy: And let you CONTROL ME!? GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM!!! GET OFF THIS SHIP!!!

Ansem (Cloaked): And I'm afraid...

I could feel a surge of Darkness beginning to radiate from Ansem as I felt it to be murderous to me!

Ansem (Cloaked): That we've reached an IMPASSE!!! SUBMIT!!!

Seeing the Darkness blowing the cloak away, I saw his heart rushing towards me as I yelled out at opening the door and getting out of the room in time. I panicked and channeled my Darkness as I became smoke to begin my escape away from Ansem's heart.

Ansem (Heart): Your vessel is perfect for me! Your body shall be the foundation that sustains my heart!!

Soejammy: AAAAAAUUUUGHHH!!!

Going faster, I was crashing into the walls of the Gummi Ship as it was causing malfunctions to the ship. Causing steam to be pressurized out, gauges to come flying off, and even denting the walls of the ship itself. As I kept trying to escape, Nintega was in the hallway as I rushed past him along with Ansem right on my tail.

Ansem (Heart): I have been watching you, ever since the island! Your awakening to Darkness, it is something I have never seen before!! YOUR DARKNESS MUST BE MINE!!!

Soejammy: I SAID TO LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

I was running out of steam as being in my smoke form was causing me to drain my energy faster as I rematerialized and began to slide against the floor, but not before raising a shield made of Darkness. A shield that materializes and blocks anything from passing through.

Ansem (Heart): Your power cannot save you!!! SUBMIT YOUR BODY!!! LET YOUR HEART SUCCUMB TO MY WILL!!!

Soejammy: NO!!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

Ansem (Heart): You don't think I notice how you stay awake at nights on this ship!? You're terrified of the Darkness, just seeing you run away from me shows me how you don't handle the Darkness!! You're always on alert, watching, planning, waiting. You were waiting for me!!!

Soejammy: TAKE YOUR DARKNESS ELSEWHERE OLD MAN!!! LEAVE ME ALONE XEHANORT!!!

Ansem (Heart): And that is why, I must make you mine, you know so many things, I must know them for myself!!!

I widened my eyes as my shield was cracking from the pressure as I could see my power was failing. I was scared, scared that Ansem was trying to take me. My heart was so full of grief and pain, Riku might have been a good vessel, but he was away from the path to Darkness. While mine... Mine was in deep as I could manifest the power of Darkness at will or when angry enough. My shield was breaking as it was about to completely break from Ansem's power.

Ansem (Heart): THIS HEART WILL BELONG ONCE AGAIN TO DARKNESS!!!

Soejammy: NOOOOOO!!!

Before my shield could break, I could see a shining light poking through my shield as Ansem cried out in pain.

Ansem (Heart): AUGH!!! PURE LIGHT!!! IMPUDENT GIRL!!! AUUUUUGH!!!

Feeling the pressure leave my shield, I lowered the power I was using as I could see Kitty and Nintega as they had shocked eyes at what they saw.

Nintega: Holy sh- WAS THAT ANSEM!?

Kitty: Seeker of Darkness, I think the Heartless to Xehanort? WHAT WAS HE DOING ON THE SHIP?!

I curled up where I was in the corner of the wall as I was taking deep breaths. The look in my eyes seemed to have lost light in my panic as I was taking deep breaths. I looked at my hands as they were shaking with fear as the sudden image of my hands looking like that of a Heartless appeared for a moment before trying to wipe them away out of panic. That was until my hands were grabbed and held in someone else's, looking up to see Kitty looking directly at me.

Kitty: Hey, it's okay! Ansem is NOT going to touch you. Light vs Darkness, and I sure as hell am making sure light wins and keeping you here with us. I promise.

I took deep breaths as I was still cowering in the corner where I was at. I couldn't even stop myself from crying as being strong hearted like this eventually breaks me deep down and makes me weak because of every emotion I built up by hiding it with jokes, craziness and just insanity of what I usually do. Nintega came over to where I was and looked me in the eyes.

Nintega: What was Ansem doing here? What did he want with you?

I was afraid to tell them. Afraid I would say something wrong. Before I could though, an intercom came through as it was Donald.

Donald: Attention to all passengers, if you are done DESTROYING MY SHIP, we are arriving at the next world. SO STOP DESTROYING MY SHIP!!! WE'RE IN CRITICAL CONDITION!!!

I looked at both Nintega and Kitty and sighed as I had stress and pain in my eyes.

Soejammy: Don't tell them any of this. They don't need any more trouble than what we're dealing with... Understand?

Kitty: No! We can't-

Soejammy: And I say we don't! Chronos was one thing, but Ansem decided to attack me while on the ship!? I am NOT getting them involved!! We already have enough problems, and I don't want to cause even more!!

Kitty: But look at what happened when a secret was revealed! It's going to be worse if they found out about Ansem!

Soejammy: And give the Duck a more reason to be cautious about me!? Is that what you want!?

Kitty: NO! I want everyone to stay safe and ALIVE!

I threw up my hands and covered my face in my hands as I almost felt like wanting to collapse. Everything Ansem said to me, it was true. I was scared, on alert, skipping sleep at times and trying to keep myself awake. I didn't want to have Ansem sneak up on me in my sleep and then get me, the only exception was when I rested with Kitty. I let my guard down then, I couldn't do it anymore.

Soejammy: We are not telling anyone, this is my problem to deal with. End of discussion.

Kitty: And it was our problem to do what Merlin said and keep something to keep a huge target off my back and keep everyone safe. Look where that got us... But fine, if you want to deal with this on your own. So be it.

I groaned as I ran my hands through my hair as I was of these circles.

Soejammy: If you want to tell them, do it. But I'm not saying anything. I rather someone else explain than me and have more eyes watch me when this bombshell drops. If you think this is something important, do it. This decision is yours to make.

Kitty: What I want? Is to feel like I'm not just someone who has to be protected all the time and actually be there to help. But if one of my closest friends wants to push me out when trying to help, what's the point? I'll keep this a secret, but don't put the blame on me if things go from worse to a nightmare.

Soejammy: Then just tell them. I can't do it, I'm scared out of my mind here! At night, when I try to go to sleep, when I look into the Darkness, when I pass out!! ALL I SEE IS THE DARKNESS!! CRAWLING AT ME!!! TEMPTING ME TO BE CONSUMED IN IT!!! I CAN'T SLEEP OR STOP BEING ON ALERT!! I SEE THE MANY PEOPLE THAT LOST THEMSELVES TO THE DARKNESS!! AND EACH TIME I RELEASE A HEART, I FEEL A PULL TO CONSUME IT!!! I'M SCARED I'M GOING TO HURT ONE OF YOU!!!

I could see Nintega and Kitty's jaws drop at the outburst, wide eyed at what I said. Nintega breaking the silence befallen us from what was said.

Nintega: Then why... Why didn't you tell anyone you feel this way?!

Soejammy: BECAUSE I'M THE STRONG ONE!!! I'M THE LEADER!!! LEADERS AREN'T MEANT TO BE WEAK WHEN OTHERS ARE RELYING ON THEM!!! I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT MY BURDEN ON YOU BOTH!!!

Nintega: We're your friends! We've always been here for each other! We've fought, had breakdowns and said and done all the wrong things, but we've still stuck together! Because we can be honest with each other! Leaders can rely on someone, because you're not just leading a team. You're leading people who rely on you, but will be there when you need someone to rely on too. You don't need to be strong all the time. That's just going to make it worse, it's just been proven with Ansem.

Soejammy: Then you tell them. I can't muster up the courage.

Nintega: Are you absolutely sure you want to tell?

Soejammy: It's your choice.

Nintega: We're going to be heading to Atlantica now, right? With Ursula going to be there, there's already going to be a thirst for revenge... Not going to give her anymore leverage. Maybe best to wait until after...

Soejammy: And I'm holding true to my threat to her. If she tries to cross our path again, there are no more second chances.

Before anyone could say anything else, the intercoms relayed the screaming of an angry duck pilot.

Donald: WILL EVERYONE HURRY UP?!

The trio groaned at the yell from the lack of patience, all glad that he's no longer the acting leader.

Nintega: Things would be a lot easier with the duck's beak iced shut...

Soejammy: Be my guest... I'm not in the mood for anything like this...

I began to walk to the front of the ship as I sighed during my walk. When the three of us arrived, we could see the world ahead of us. A title on the screen saying Atlantica.

Soejammy: Great... Water levels...

Nintega: Why does it have to be water levels...

Kitty: What's wrong with water-

Nintega and I zoomed up on Kitty and looked her in the eyes at the same time.

Soejammy & Nintega: Don't you dare jinx us with that question!!!

Kitty just scooted back with how we answered her.

Kitty: Jeez! A simple hand clasp over my mouth would have suffice!

Sora: How are we even going to land down there??? It's nothing but water! We'll drown!

Donald: Sora, you leave that to me. I'm the Royal Magician after all!

We all looked at Donald as he gave me a look. A look I didn't like at all.

Kitty's point of view

World: Atlantica

Location: Tranquil Grotto

As we were being sent down to the ocean, Donald worked his magic as we were all being turned into sea creatures. When we went in, I looked to see Donald as a weird duck/octopus combo, Goofy as a dog/turtle combo, Sora and Riku having Dolphin tails, Nintega having a shark fin and tail, and myself as a mermaid with a clam bra on.

Kitty (Mermaid): Oh wow!! This is amazing! Jammy! What body part did-

When I looked over to where Jammy was, he was drowning in the water. When I realized this, I looked at Donald and strangled him.

Kitty (Mermaid): MAGIC! JAMMY! NOW!!!

Quacking under the water, Donald used his wand to aim at Jammy to allow him to breathe and float down through the water. Seemingly able to traverse through the water like he was on land. Jammy was gasping for air and looked at Donald.

Soejammy (Breathing): You are seriously being turned into sashimi after this!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Sashimi? Never heard of that before.

Soejammy (Breathing): Sashimi is like sushi, but it's basically just a single piece of fish, sushi is basically the same, but with other extra ingredients to make the type of sashimi taste better. And since Octopus is a type of sea creature... Kitty, I'll make some octopus sushi tonight!!!

I swear I could feel myself drool at the mention of fish food as I got excited over it.

Kitty (Mermaid): Mmm~ Sushi~

Soejammy looked at Donald as he got his Keyblade out and readied his blade.

Soejammy (Breathing): Don't worry~ It'll be niiiiiiice and sloooooooow~

Donald (Octopus): DON'T YOU MEAN "QUICK"!?

Soejammy (Breathing): I know what I said. COME HERE!!!

And before we could even begin our quest here, chaos ensued as Donald ran- Umm, sorry. I meant swam for his life with one angry Jammy following after him fast. Honestly, I never knew he could swim so fast.

Soejammy (Breathing): COME HERE!!! TRYING TO DROWN ME!!! I'LL ROAST YOU ALIVE WHEN WE GET TO DRY LAND!!!

Donald (Octopus): SOMEONE GET THIS LUNATIC AWAY FROM ME!!!

As the group watched this and heard Donald's cry for help, no one really stepped in to help.

Riku (Dolphin): At this point, this is just a ritual.

Nintega (Shark): Hopefully to not summon a demon...

Sora (Dolphin): Couldn't we say right now Jammy IS the demon...?

Kitty (Mermaid): If anything, Jammy would be the one to summon a demon, and it would look just like him...

Nintega (Shark): Yeah, I could see that.

I looked at Nintega as I was confused.

Kitty (Mermaid): What?

Nintega (Shark): What?

Nintega looked at me as if I said something wrong as I just decided to let this go and swim after Jammy to stop him. Donald was swimming in all directions to try and avoid the swings from Jammy's Oblivion, which... Sadly for Donald was swinging randomly in every direction, making it harder to dodge.

Donald (Octopus): I WASN'T ACTUALLY GOING TO LET YOU DROWN!!

Soejammy (Breathing): OH REALLY? BECAUSE IT SURE SEEMED LIKE YOU WERE GOING TO PURPOSELY LET ME DROWN, YOU FUTURE FISHY MEAL!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Jammy! Stop! It's okay now! I wouldn't let him hurt you!

I swam in front of Jammy to get his attention.

Kitty (Mermaid): Look, I know it was really mean of Donald, but we need him to return to normal if we even want to-

I had taken my eyes off of Jammy for a moment and then turned back to see him on the ground with blood rising up as it was coming from his nose!

Kitty (Mermaid): WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM NOW!?

I groaned as I was already feeling done with this world before we even properly began here, swimming down to Jammy.

Kitty (Mermaid): HEY! Will you be serious for once?!

Getting up on his feet, Jammy looked at me, but then turned away faster than a certain blue hedgehog.

Soejammy (Breathing): Then don't float in front of me like that!! It's distracting!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Distracting HOW?!

Jammy groaned for some reason as he avoided looking at me directly as he was all red in the face about it.

Kitty (Mermaid): WHAT ARE YOU DISTRACTED ABOUT!? I swear you are such a pain at times! Is it really that hard to answer ONE QUESTION?!

Soejammy (Breathing): CLOTHES!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Huh...?

Soejammy (Breathing): CLOTHES!!! Look at yourself!!!

I raised a brow, before looking to figure out what Jammy meant. My eyes widened when I realized, covering my chest quickly as I yelled.

Kitty (Mermaid): PERVERT!! You could just...NOT LOOK AT MY CHEST!!

Soejammy (Breathing): How do you expect me to react suddenly!?

Kitty (Mermaid): Any way but not looking!

Soejammy (Breathing): EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): What are you going to do?! Just not look at me the entire time we're here?!

Soejammy (Breathing): I don't know!!

Kitty (Mermaid): How do you not know?! What are you going to do if I need help against Heartless?! Or even Ursula?!

Soejammy (Breathless): I'll think of something!!

I was internally screaming at this whole conversation right now, sighing and facepalming as I turned away.

Kitty (Mermaid): Ugh! Let's just join back with the group and get going. You and Nintega didn't seem to like this world at all.

Soejammy (Breathing): Jeez... Tell me about it... Last time I was 12, this place gave me a hard time as I was basically trying to figure out where to go as you can get lost going in circles. THIS PLACE ALL LOOKS THE SAME!!! IT'S LIKE NAMEK!!! DAMN IT BEAT!!!

If Beat was here, he would be questioning why Jammy talked about him, most likely Beat might be sneezing now from being mentioned. But I was wary about how he talked about this place, glancing at him.

Kitty (Mermaid): First, at least Namek isn't underwater and we can breathe there without magic. Secondly, do you have some idea how we're meant to go through this place...?

Soejammy (Breathing): You think I'm some sort of water expert??

Kitty (Mermaid): You and Nintega are the only ones who's an expert on this game!! And I'm not wanting to ask the simp. I've been having some nice peace and quiet from his teasing for now!

Nintega (Shark): HEY!!

Kitty (Mermaid): And just my luck he would hear me...

Nintega (Shark): It's not fair to talk about me behind my back! Unless it's from the front, THEN IT'S ALL FAIR!!!

I groaned when hearing the idiots talking as I always deal with this.

Kitty (Mermaid): Don't you even DARE try that!!! I have seen it before where you have called me Tsun-Kitty, AND I HAD TO LOOK THROUGH YOUR SERVER TO SEE IT WHEN I CHECK IT!!! Isn't that talking behind my back?

Nintega tried raising a hand to object to it, when he had to lower it because I was right.

Nintega (Shark): That... That doesn't prove anything.

Kitty (Mermaid): The Plot Twisters. I take a nap, and wake up to see you two idiots talking about me, and making a plan to annoy me. Two words. Uganda. Knuckles.

Soejammy (Breathing): Okay, yeah, she has us there pal. But you know what she doesn't?

Nintega and Jammy looked at each other and grinned as I sensed malicious intent.

Kitty (Mermaid): Ugh.... This feels worse dealing with you tag teaming me in Smash as Uganda Knuckle Mii's and that damn April fools prank... What are you two planning now...?

When asked that, both of them rushed up to me and began to click their tongues and stare at me.

Soejammy (Breathing) & Nintega (Shark): Our Queen!

Feeling many tick marks on my forehead growing, I growled and hissed in annoyance.

Kitty (Mermaid): If you two like to speak... I'd recommend stopping that now if you don't want to lose your tongues!!!

Soejammy (Breathing) & Nintega (Shark): We will sing the song of our people. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): You both have one. Second. Headstart to swim away NOW! One~

Nintega began to swim while Jammy turned around and began to run.

Soejammy (Breathing): WAIT!! I DON'T HAVE FINS!!! I CAN'T SWIM FASTER THAN YOU!!!

Nintega (Shark): I ain't slowing down!!! Good luck!!

Soejammy (Breathing): TRAITOR!!!

As I saw the two idiots running and swimming away, I burst out laughing as I couldn't believe these two. Like I would ever actually do that to them, they're two of my best friends. But it's one way to get a moment of peace. Though that peace was short lived as I heard yelling and the sound of them running back.

Nintega (Swimming): JAMMY!! WAIT UP!!

Soejammy (Breathing): NO WAY MAN!!! SWIM FASTER!!!

...If these two have already set off some enemy trap, I'm finding a parasite cage to rest in. Even darkness is better than dealing with this right now!

Kitty (Mermaid): WHAT HAVE YOU TWO DONE NOW?!

Hiding behind me for some reason, I looked at the two idiots that now dare use me as a shield.

Soejammy (Breathing) & Nintega (Shark): A GIRL, FISH, AND PARASITE!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): A girl... Fish... And a paras- Little Mermaid! And that parasite is Sebastian, a crab!!

I knew exactly what the two dumbos, and not the cute elephant kind, were talking about. Flounder the fish, Sebastian the crab or "parasite" to them, and Ariel the Little Mermaid. Turning to look at the pair, I raised a brow in confusion.

Kitty (Mermaid): Why would you even use me as a shield against the trio? They are literally harmless!

Soejammy (Breathing): THAT ISN'T THE PROBLEM!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): THEN WHAT IS?!

Soejammy (Breathing): What do you think!?

Pointing to himself, I looked at Jammy as I looked at him from top to bottom, but when looking down, Jammy didn't have any fish gills or fins.

Kitty (Mermaid): Jammy is still in human form... And I highly doubt the duck would help without a lot of convincing...

Soejammy (Breathing): YEAH!! EXACTLY!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Could someone else try using magic to give you something fishy?

Nintega (Shark): I tried it once, I ended up turning half of my body into a crab and the other half into a shrimp.

Kitty (Mermaid): Oh come on! Why does all the good blackmail stuff happen when I'm not around...?!

Nintega (Shark): Say that again? I didn't quite hear you over our CURRENT PREDICAMENT!! If it'll be anything, Ariel is going to see Jammy and soon fall in love with the first Human she saves!!

Soejammy (Breathing): I DON'T WANT TO BE A DAMSEL!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Yet you're happy making me seem like a damsel in distress all the time...

I muttered under my breath, trying to think of something.

Kitty (Mermaid): Well there's four options. Option 1: Jammy is saved by Ariel and she falls in love with him. Option 2: He hides until the world here is safe. Option 3: A lot of convincing to Donald. Option 4: I try to use some magic to help.

Trying to think of the options, Jammy seemed to be thinking about an idea as he pales at a thought about one of the plans and shakes his head. Donald is never going to be convinced. Letting Ariel see Jammy is not going to be the best thing to happen. Though, why do I feel jealous about letting Ariel fall in love with Jammy? Bad thoughts, not the time for this!

Soejammy (Breathing): God damn it! I'm gonna have to go into hiding!!

Nintega (Shark): But what about Ursula?! If you hide, you're not going to be able to help fight against her!

Soejammy (Breathing): I'll think of something! For now- OH CRAP!! HERE THEY COME!!!

Diving into some group of kelp, Jammy conceals himself to not be seen and avoid being detected. Though giving this whole situation, I sarcastically said to him.

Kitty (Mermaid): Stay calm. I think they can smell fear.

Soejammy (Breathing): Put a fin in it!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were hiding?

Soejammy (Breathing): Shut. It!

As I chuckled about Jammy's current plight, my focus was back onto Ariel and her friends, Flounder and Sebastian.

I felt nervous and excited at the very same time as Ariel was one of my favorite princesses in Disney. I kept calm as I looked at Nintega.

Kitty (Mermaid): Okay, what's our cover story?

Nintega (Shark): Sorry, drawing a blank, I have no cover story for under the sea life.

Kitty (Mermaid): Why not!?

Nintega (Shark): You try making plans about being a sea creature and see how that goes!

I tried to make a counter to that, but came up with nothing.

Kitty (Mermaid): Um... Give me a bit.

Nintega (Shark): Ariel is RIGHT THERE! There is no waiting!!

Kitty (Mermaid): What about your Nintenvitus?! You make ideas out of nowhere, we need that NOW!!

Nintega (Shark): I DON'T WORK UNDER PRESSURE!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): It's not pressure. It's making a story really, REALLY fast!

Nintega (Shark): In how much time!? She's SWIMMING over here right now!!!

I looked to see Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian were indeed heading our way. I cursed under my breath as we needed a cover story right now, but failed to think of something.

Kitty (Mermaid): Just wing it then!!

Trying to figure something out, I try to think of how to respond without Jammy and Nintega's help. Ariel was headed this way as Donald locked eyes with Sebastian. The crab freaked out as he just hovered in the water before swimming away from Donald. Sora and Goofy swam over to me, while Riku stayed with Nintega. Sebastian could be seen swimming behind Ariel as she giggled at how he reacted.

Ariel: Relax, Sebastian. They don't look like one of them.

Looking down to her right, she asked someone next.

Ariel: Right, Flounder?

Swimming from behind her, Flounder seemed a bit nervous too.

Flounder: I don't know. There's something weird about them.

This... Isn't off to a good start already with suspicions about us happening before we introduce ourselves... Sora gave a nervous laugh when Flounder said this as he asked a question:

Sora (Dolphin): What do you mean?

In response to Sora's question, Ariel swam closer to us as she began swimming around us while speaking.

Ariel: Hmm... They do seem a little different. Where are you from?

I was in an internal panic from the question, trying to think of something and fast.

Kitty (Mermaid): Umm... We're from some place... Kind of far away. And we're not really used to these waters.

As I gave a nervous laugh myself at the end, I could hear snickering from the kelp as I knew it was Jammy laughing. It was tempting me to see how good a Mermaid's tail is at hitting someone "Accidently." No point hiding if you risk revealing yourself from laughing! As I answered, I could see from the corner of my eye Goofy and Flounder looking at each other as Goofy was smiling. Honestly, it was a cute scene to see. As Ariel was thinking about my response, I could also see Donald glaring at Sebastian as Ariel spoke.

Ariel: Oh, I see. In that case... Sebastian can show you how we swim around here.

This in turn caused Donald to look surprised, Sebastian turning to look at Ariel in shock at her suggestion. Swimming up to Ariel, Sebastian seemed to be in a panic.

Sebastian: Ariel, King Triton will not like this!

Even then, Ariel didn't even seem concerned about his worry.

Ariel: Oh, don't worry.

Sebastian: Easy for you to say... Okay, it's time you learn how to swim properly.

And so, the group got their own swimming lesson from Sebastian. It was short, but effective as everyone understood.

Sebastian: Practice swimming with Flounder. Trying tagging him. Alright, begin.

Nintega (Shark): Ha! This will be easy! How hard would it be to tag a fish?

And he said to me earlier about jinxing? Swimming ahead of the group, Nintega went after Flounder, who had already taken off. Catching up with him, we caught him about to tag Flounder before he swam under him and almost caused Nintega to crash into a wall.

Riku (Dolphin): So this isn't as easy as it seems, huh?

Nintega just groaned as he began swimming again, everyone else swimming after him and Flounder. It took a few tries, Flounder always swimming away from everyone at the last second, but we did it in the end with praise from Sebastian.

Sebastian: Good job. Now let's move onto self defense.

But before Sebastian could continue what he was going to say, Ariel cried out as she pointed to something.

Ariel: Sebastian!

Looking to where Ariel was pointing, a new kind of Heartless was spotted that resembled some sort of jellyfish. Ariel and Flounder swam away, Sebastian swimming with them as he spoke with fear.

Sebastian: Class is over. Good luck!

I saw Ariel getting to safety as she swam away through a different exit, Sebastian and Flounder hiding in the Clam behind us. Well it's a good thing that we already knew some self defense. Sora, Nintega and I got our Keyblades out, Donald preparing magic, Goofy with his shield and Riku with his sword. Since there were only five of these heartless, and they were pretty weak since they could only perform melee attacks with their tentacles, they were defeated quickly.

Sora (Dolphin): Well this was easy. Almost felt too easy compared to some other fights.

Riku (Dolphin): Let's just enjoy this. It's not often that we get an easy fight without getting hurt too badly.

Donald (Octopus): Agreed! I don't need to keep wasting magic or potions this way!

Before anyone else could say anything in response to Donald, Ariel came swimming back when it was safe. It would seem that was the only danger we had to face. For now it seems...

Ariel: Wow! Nice job.

Kitty (Mermaid): Y-You don't need to give us praise! W-We were just helping...!

I saw Riku swimming up to me as he whispered into my ear.

Riku (Dolphin): Just take the praise. Not every time our help is wanted like this.

Kitty (Mermaid): Y-You're not wrong about that... Even our friends would be saying the same thing.

But before we could keep talking, we could hear voices coming from the clam.

Sebastian: Don't forget about us!

Flounder: We're stuck in the clam! Hitting the clam should get us out!

Sora (Dolphin): Hold on, you'll be out in a moment.

Swimming over to the clam, Sora tapped on it with his Keyblade as it opened up. The moment it opened up, Sebastian and Flounder quickly swam out of it. Swimming over to Ariel, they stayed beside her as she started explaining how they knew of the Heartless.

Ariel: Those creatures chased us here.

As if a switch clicked in his head, Sebastian came to a sudden realization and spoke up.

Sebastian: Oh no! Those creatures may be heading for the Palace, too!

Ariel: We'd better head back right away!

Flounder, being a cautious fish, expressed his worry about the Heartless.

Flounder: But, wh-what if we run into more on our way back?

Thinking about what to do, Ariel looked at us.

Ariel: I'm sorry, but we need your help. Please come to the palace with us. The Trident markers on the walls point the way there. We won't get lost as long as we follow them. Okay, let's get going.

As Ariel was finishing up, I saw a new Heartless that looked like a scuba diver appear out of nowhere and fired a harpoon. It was aimed at Ariel!!

Kitty: ARIEL!! WATCH OUT FOR-!!

Before I could finish, there was a clang sound as the spear was deflected, but as for who did that, I looked and saw it was Jammy who had rushed out to stop the attack!! Taking the spear, Jammy then threw it back at the Heartless as it pierced through the chest of the enemy and released the heart from it. Floating back to the floor, Jammy shouted at the floating heart.

Soejammy (Breathing): DON'T YOU EVER ATTACK FROM THE BACK AGAIN!!! Man... I really hate sneak attackers...

As Jammy floated down, I saw that Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian were looking at Jammy as he shook his fist at the Heartless.

Flounder: This guy really is different...

Sebastian: He's a human... But somehow able to still breathe underwater!

Looking at Founder and Sebastian, Jammy held out a finger to the crab.

Soejammy (Breathing): Hello. My name is Jammy.

Sebastian didn't even seem to know how to react to this, looking at Jammy like he's the strangest creature he's seen.

Sebastian: How did a human even get here? How can he even breathe underwater? If the King found out about this, he'd be furious!

Soejammy (Breathing): Heh, you're such a worrywart. Some help you are. Worrying about a King when they're not even here. Honestly, it makes me want to fry you up.

Sebastian: What!? How dare you talk like this when you are trespassing human! Go back to the land where you should be!

Soejammy (Breathing): Wooooow. And this is the thanks I get for saving her?

Jammy then points to Ariel and scoffs.

Soejammy (Breathing): Whatever. I'm just going to wander around then. No point sticking to a Jamaican crab.

Sebastian: I DO NOT SOUND JAMAICAN, MAN!!!

Soejammy (Breathing): And yet, you spoke just like a Jamaican~

Sebastian: Grrr!! Ariel! Give me the word! I'll pinch his butt with my claws!!

Soejammy (Breathing): Gee!!! That sounds suggestive!!

Kitty (Mermaid): MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!!! For the love of everything... Can you please just behave for once?!

Even with the conversation and Sebastian trying to get her attention, Ariel was in shock when seeing a human for the first time as she swam around Jammy.

Soejammy (Breathing): Hello there.

Ariel: You're really a human?

Soejammy (Breathing): Human as I can be.

Ariel: But how can you breathe? I thought humans were unable to breathe underwater!

Jammy had a thought, and was about to say something, but I covered his mouth.

Kitty (Mermaid): If you say "Maaaaaaaagic", I will hit you with my fin!!

Jammy looked at me as he moved my hand away.

Soejammy (Breathing): Didn't you JUST say that for me then?

Kitty (Mermaid): Making it VERY clear that is what you were about to say, dummy!

Soejammy (Breathing): Well, you're right. It's "Maaaaaagic"~

Sticking to my word, I narrowed my eyes at Jammy as I hit him with my fin. Well, I tried too. But he dodges a slap from my tail by backflipping to float to a distance away.

Soejammy (Breathing): Next time you say you're going to do something, just do it! You might as well mail me the slap!

Kitty (Mermaid): A mail slap? Now that's an idea~

Soejammy (Breathing): Hey! No funny ideas!! Or in your case, no "finny-fun" ideas~

Kitty (Mermaid): ...Your puns are so bad, they hurt to hear more than laughing at them.

Soejammy (Breathing): My puns are not- COVER THEM!!!

Jammy then turned around fast after realizing he was talking to me for a while. I groaned and rolled my eyes, deadpanning as I spoke.

Kitty (Mermaid): Maybe you could just... I don't know, LOOK AT MY FACE THEN MY CHEST!!!

Soejammy (Breathing): Oh, like you think it's that easy. If I had ripped abs right now, you would be staring at the abs instead of the eyes!

Kitty (Mermaid): I at least have common decency to respect someone! Okay, can't deny there could be a GLANCE, but not full on STARING!!

Soejammy (Breathing): Once you catch a glimpse of something, it will be hard to take your eyes away!! Don't you lie to me!!

Kitty (Mermaid): I am not lying!! You're just making yourself out to be more of a pervert!!!

Soejammy (Breathing): My eyes can't help that! I look at anything that moves!!!

I groaned as I facepalmed, dragging my hand down my face.

Kitty (Mermaid): You're a nightmare to deal with at times...

Soejammy (Breathing): Hey! Don't you compare me to the duck!

Donald (Octopus): WHAT IS THAT MEANT TO MEAN?!

Jammy turned to look at Donald with a blank look, trouble about to occur. Donald... Really needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut...

Soejammy (Breathing): Don't be daft, you feathered entitled prick. What it means, is that you are the WORST person or animal to deal with on this team. I get you don't like us. I get you hate us being here. But you're stuck with us. I've told you how I act, if you want to be a prick and keep acting like one that won't help others in their time of need, you are the worst teammate to have EVER lived!! The only REASON you even took us, was because of my lie about being a psychic!! That's the ONLY reason!!

Steam was about to come out of Donald's head, the water around him bubbling with how heated from anger he got.

Donald (Octopus): You have NO right to talk like that, when you have caused so much trouble with your reckless actions!! If you hadn't lied, this whole thing would have been a lot easier!! We could have found the King by now!!!

Soejammy (Breathing): And what has kept us alive so far? Hmm?? Go on, ASK ME!!

Donald (Octopus): We would have been JUST FINE without you! Or your friends!

And there of course, comes out the truth again. We're just burdens to him still. I was about to say something, but I saw Jammy move faster than I could react as I saw him crash Donald to the wall in his anger as Darkness radiated off of him.

Soejammy (Darkness) (Breathing): DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY FRIENDS LIKE THAT!!! YOU ENTITLED TWAT!!! I COULD SNAP YOUR NECK RIGHT NOW IF I WANTED!!! DO YOU HEAR ME!?!? I CAN HANDLE THE DAMNED INSULTS, BUT YOU LEAVE MY FRIENDS OUT OF IT!!! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?!?

Donald looked absolutely scared out of his wits, glancing at Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian who looked wary and scared of the darkness themselves. Moving fast, I pulled Jammy away from Donald as Goofy went to talk to Donald.

Kitty (Mermaid): Look, I know you hate people insulting your friends. I get it, I really do. But we need to keep calm. How is it going to look to potential allies in this world if you seem like an enemy to them...?

Jammy looked at me as his eyes were devoid of light as if he couldn't see me for a moment, but after seeing some light return to him and looking at what he did, he held his head and was taking deep breaths. Without a second hesitation, Jammy began to run in the direction where Ariel and her friends came from without us.

Kitty (Mermaid): Jammy! Wait!

But Jammy didn't even look back, not one single glance from the cry as he kept running until he was out of sight. Donald didn't seem phased, even when Goofy was talking to him. As much as I wanted to go after Jammy, it was going to be too easy to get lost. This sucks!

Nintega (Shark): Sushi made from that Octo-Duck suddenly sounds even better...

Donald (Octopus): HEY! LEAVE ME OUT OF IT!!

Goofy (Turtle): Gwarsh, you didn't really need to insult his friends like that, especially when they've been helping a lot.

Donald (Octopus): By "help" you mean causing nothing but "chaos!?" That's the better term for how that guy has been SOOOOO helpful!!

Goofy (Turtle): But his logic and fighting skills have helped us a lot! He's saved your life a lot too! Please, we need his help as much as we need your magic. Can't you try to get along?

Donald (Octopus): NOOOO!!! The day I get along with him is the day I sign a deal with the Devil!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): How about Hades instead? Because without his help, you'd have already been in the underworld with him...

Donald swam over to me looking mad when I said that.

Donald (Octopus): And what do you mean by that!?

Looking Donald directly in the eyes, all the emotions I tried keeping calm were in a turmoil at this moment.

Kitty (Mermaid): Exactly. What. I. Said. If you want to meet Hades again so soon, be my guest! Next time Jammy goes to save your life, I'll be first in line to stop him. Since in your words "It would be a lot easier without him!"

Donald glared at me as he wanted to say something, but then just began to swim away.

Sora (Dolphin): What should we do? Go after him?

Riku (Dolphin): Jammy may not seem like it, but with how high he can jump in the water like this, all he would be doing is jumping and floating until he reaches the seafloor. We can't exactly leave him if he accidentally begins to sink into the depths.

Nintega (Shark): Not to mention the ocean depths would crush him if he goes too deep.

Goofy (Turtle): Gwarsh, we better not waste time following him then.

Kitty (Mermaid): If I know Jammy, he'll just listen to Ariel's guidance and follow the tridents if he has been listening. He'll follow it to the city. As long as we do the same, then it'll be fine.

Nintega (Shark): I hope so. Ariel? Can you help us find Jammy? I know he isn't the best guy when angered, but he really cares about his friends deep down. He and the Octopus really aren't friends, he's just emergency food.

Kitty (Mermaid): Huh, and if Paimon was here she would be happy to hear someone else is emergency food.

Donald swam up to Nintega and glared at him.

Donald (Octopus): I AM NOT EMERGENCY FOOD!!!

Nintega (Shark): Considering your future sushi? You're right, you're not emergency food. You're the future food.

If there was a rage counter for Donald, the numbers would be in the double digits by now... Actually no... It would be triple digits. Understanding how the score board felt in Space Jam now.

Sebastian: WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE MAN!?!?

Flounder: I don't know... But it's making my head hurt...

Ariel: They don't seem to get along well at all... But they're the only way we have of defeating these monsters. We're just going to have to trust them.

Flounder: B-But what if they become enemies? You can see how they're fighting now, we don't know if they'll ever turn on us!

Hearing this, I turned towards the group while I saw Nintega and Donald fighting each other.

Kitty (Mermaid): Look... I know it... Looks bad... VERY bad... It could even be the worst team in a century... But we're also attacked by those creatures... If anything, we have more beef with them than anything... I know it's a big ask, but would you still help us please? You're the ones who know this ocean well, and we'll help you with the creatures.

Sebastian looked at Ariel and was shaking his head.

Sebastian: Do you know what your Father would do to me if he found out!? Think about that at least, Ariel!!

Ariel: But if they can really help with the creatures, he may forget about that if everyone is safe. It's a risk, but one that needs to be done.

Sebastian: I have a bad feeling about this...

I tried to think about how to convince Sebestian, before thinking of something as I looked at him.

Kitty (Mermaid): If anything goes well, you can put the blame on me as I'm pleading for help. So you don't get into trouble.

Sebastian: Oh man... I am really not feeling good about this at all...

Ariel: Come on Sebastian, we can't just leave someone in need of help.

Sebastian: Alright fine! But leave me out of it when you explain to your Father. What did I ever do to deserve such trouble...!?

Flounder still looked unsure, but trusted in his friends.

Flounder: I'm still not quite sure about this Ariel... But if you think this is a good idea, then I just hope your father won't be too mad.

Ariel: Great! Now that everyone is in agreement, let's get going. Follow me.

Turning around, Ariel began to swim away following the trident signs, Sebastian and Flounder following behind her. Thank goodness we can still get their help. Turning around, I began seeing Nintega begin to slow roast Donald OVER A FIRE!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? AND HOW DID YOU GET A FIRE STARTED!?

Before Nintega could answer, I yelled out to him.

Kitty (Mermaid): Don't you say it was magic!!

Nintega (Shark): BUT IT WAS!!

Kitty (Mermaid): I... Have just stuck my literal neck out at risk to gain trust to get the help... AND YOU ARE NOT HELPING BY DOING THIS!!!

Nintega (Shark): Blame the Duck then! He keeps angring Jammy to go into bursts of anger by pushing on him!

Donald (Octopus): SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF THESE ROPES!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): If I actually DO have to take the blame and get out of a big mess with Triton himself... I will find out what ROASTED HEDGEHOG tastes like!!

Nintega (Shark) (Hedgehog Food): WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO ROAST ME!?

Kitty (Mermaid): Oh gee... I wonder why... Question. How is it going to look when I just got help from Ariel... AND ONE OF OUR TEAM IS GONE BY BEING MADE INTO SOME SORT OF FOOD?!

Nintega looked at me as he tried to think about it, but proceeded to still slow roast Donald!! I rushed over to Nintega and slapped him in the face hard.

Kitty (Mermaid): WILL YOU TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!? For the love of everything... I am trying to help everyone here, I can't do that if I get onto Ariel's AND Triton's bad sides!!! I do not want to be speared with that Trident! I'd rather see that happen to Ursula.

Nintega (Shark): Hey chicka bum bum.

Kitty (Mermaid): I am going to enjoy having a side order of roasted hedgehog with octopus sushi... If you do not SHUT. UP! Unless you want me to put the blame on you instead? I can twist the tale around to make it seem like I had to ask for help because of you bugging me to do it.

Nintega gasped at how I acted like this.

Nintega (Shark): You wouldn't!

Kitty (Mermaid): Hmm? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over making ideas of how to put the blame on you~ I see why you enjoy writing now, gets the imagination going to get yourself out of trouble~

Nintega groaned and decided to put the fire out and cut Donald free.

Nintega (Shark): Alright, fine! I won't slow roast the Duck!

Donald sighed as he swam over to me.

Donald (Octopus): Finally... Someone who-

Kitty (Mermaid): Just until we're finished here. Slow roast him as much as you want to after.

Donald (Octopus): WHAT!? WHY!?

Kitty (Mermaid): Unlike someone I know, I stick up and I'm loyal to my friends. That's why. See me and my friends as burdens? Pay the price for it of not giving a damn about you. Why care about someone who would happily leave us behind so that he can focus on his own selfish desires?

Ignoring the cries from Donald, I looked at the group.

Kitty (Mermaid): We better get going if we don't want to lose track of Ariel, and make sure Jammy hasn't gotten into any trouble.

Riku (Dolphin): Knowing Jammy? He's probably trying to release some pent-up aggression to try and calm down.

Sora (Dolphin): Or search ahead.

Goofy (Turtle): Or search ahead and fight Heartless.

Nintega (Shark): More than likely both. But he can't just take all the fun for himself! Water levels are nowhere near a favorite, but Heartless are always fun to beat.

Kitty (Mermaid): You guys go on ahead. It's just going to cause more trouble if I go as Ursula could strike at any moment.

Nintega (Shark): Are you nuts?? You know what Jammy will do to us if we even LET you out of our sights???

Kitty (Mermaid): Not nuts, just thinking of the group. You've seen what it's been like with Heartless bosses and enemies! And what happened with Ursula in Monstro.

Riku (Dolphin): And it's all for more the reason you stay with us. Maleficent told me something before she brought me to Soejammy. Thinking it was better I wasn't with her after Chronos took over.

Kitty (Mermaid): Maleficent does have some good keeping you away from Chronos. But what did she say?

Riku (Dolphin): It has to do with the Seven Princesses of Heart. Saying that if all Seven of them gather into one place, a door is supposed to open. A Door that leads to the Heart of all worlds. And if it's anything, anything that targets the heart of worlds would mean-

Sora (Dolphin): Anyone that gets pulled into the Darkness!

Riku nodded his head at Sora, picking up the idea.

Riku (Dolphin): We don't know what Chronos' plans are with the Seven... But we can't let you be in danger or alone... From my assumption... They have about 6 now...

My eyes widened hearing this, my heart about in my throat from how far it leapt in fear. For the Princesses, for whatever Chronos has planned, for the group. Taking some breaths and getting my heart back in my chest, I thought about what was said.

Kitty (Mermaid): And here you're one of the kids, but talk more sense than most adults would. If Chronos has something planned... Scratch that, whatever Chronos has planned, it's not anything good at all. For all your safety... I'll go with you then.

Nintega (Shark): I did want to say that, but I knew how bad it would sound. But Riku is right... If Chronos is that close... It's too dangerous...

Kitty (Mermaid): How bad it- For flip sakes, are YOU nuts Nintega?! This entire situation has been bad the entire time ever since we found out Chronos was here! Nothing is going to sound bad enough not to be said at this point!

Nintega (Shark): I know! I get it! It's just as bad as when Xehanort took my friends and tried to copy the powers of my Keyblade! Nothing would have come good about it had he succeeded!

I sighed as I took some deep breaths to calm down, looking at Nintega seriously.

Kitty (Mermaid): I know it's worse knowing that Xehanort is here too. Especially with Chronos and him teaming up. We're going to make sure that whatever Chronos has planned doesn't happen, and we'll find a way to save Aqua, Terra and Ventus too. But if we don't talk about important information like this, we're not going to be able to find a way to do this.

Nintega (Shark): I know. I know...

Riku (Dolphin): If anything... Jammy probably knew too... That's why he listened to Maleficent... If things weren't that dire, he wouldn't have accepted help from her. Even when she attacked him first, then again, she could have killed him when she had that first chance. Not that it matters now. Can't believe this is all happening...

Sora (Dolphin): This whole thing just keeps getting worse and worse with each world...

Kitty (Mermaid): I don't like it as much as you do, Sora... But I'm also worried for Jammy... He's all alone right now...

Nintega (Shark): Finding him is our first task before the Keyhole. Don't know what else there could be here...

Kitty (Mermaid): Apart from the angry Ursula who lost a tentacle...? Oh nothing much... Just even. More. Doom...

Looking to where Ariel and her friends went, I began to swim to want to hope and make sure Jammy was safe.

Location: Undersea Gorge

After taking some time to navigate the undersea world of Atlantica, we made it to an area that looked to be a gorge. Spacious with grooves of undersea rock. It took time as some of us would get caught in a current while trying to not spin out of control. Once getting the hang of it though, it became rather easy.

Nintega (Shark): Never going through another one of those again. Hate it along with the directions of this place. Who places the route to the Kingdom through an air channel that pushes people past the area!?

Sebastian: Are you calling my security a piece of garbage mon!?

Nintega (Shark): Exactly what I mean!!

Sebastian then decided to clamp his claw on Nintega's nose. The pain made him yell out and hold his nose.

Nintega (Shark): You rotten crab!!!

Sebastian: You rotten shark! We are putting our necks out for you, and this is the thanks you give! Why I should just refuse to help you right now!

Nintega was about to say something, before smirking and looked towards what caught his eye before showing Sebastian.

Nintega (Shark): Because you need our help to fight that~

Grabbing Sebastian, he turned his face towards a group of Heartless with another one that looked to be sitting on them like a mounted unit, as the Screwdrivers we named, were preparing to charge!!

Sebastian: What is that!?

Nintega (Shark): Seems to me a portable submarine where the divers are the drivers and the Heartless they carry is their main tank~

You would have never seen someone go from red to white in fear so quickly as Sebastian did just now.

Sebastian: Fine, maybe your help would be needed just to deal with... This thing!

Nintega (Shark): I thought you didn't want our help? Wouldn't we need licenses to kill here? What about paperwork?

Sebastian: WHAT PAPERWORK!?!? JUST DEAL WITH IT ALREADY!!! I'll get something sorted out on whatever papers you have!!!

Nintega (Shark): Only if you say "please"!

Sebastian: Please deal with that thing if you don't want my claws pinching you again!!

Nintega (Shark): Close enough.

As the Heartless began to charge, Nintega got his Keyblade out and primed a magic spell.

Nintega (Shark): Force!

A dark sphere appeared above the area where the Heartless were heading to as the magic and Heartless met. What happens next involves the Heartless plummeting downward fast until they hit the floor of the ocean we're in.

Kitty (Mermaid): What kind of magic was that!?

Nintega (Shark): A spell that makes targets heavier. A spell called Gravity.

There was silence as Nintega looked around.

Nintega (Shark): You know... I was expecting a word joke from Jammy about gravity almost sounding like gravy, but he isn't with us right now...

Goofy (Turtle): It just isn't the same without Jammy around...

Donald (Octopus): Not you too, Goofy!

Riku (Dolphin): He has a point though with how valuable a team member he is.

Sora (Dolphin): Unlike some people, or more like some sort of octoduck, who treat us like burdens...

Donald (Octopus): WHAT!? I helped lead us through a whale!!

Nintega (Shark): Very extremely badly that we were all exhausted, led Kitty to being captured by the Heartless, Ursula finding out a very important secret, which Chronos now most likely knows, AND still having to get the help from Jammy. Great leadership skills there, oh wise leader.

Well I never thought I'd hear Nintega so sarcastic, that copycat taking my thing. But he has really got some good points there.

Nintega (Shark): Let's not forget who had the ideas to keep everyone safe?? Yeah, Jammy and I are nuts. Even to go far and say we're insane. But the thing is, we don't just act like this because we're dumbasses, we fight like this because it throws off our enemies in combat. By doing wild and unpredictable moves, it leaves them guessing what our next attack will be like and even still trying to figure out our battle plan. You? You would rather charge straight at the enemy and bonk them with your staff.

Donald (Octopus): Well excuse me for not having a Keyblade! Pretty questionable decisions on how some of you even got Keyblades in the first place...

Nintega (Shark): You know, not everyone is a grandmaster. And honestly, the Key chooses their masters. You have no say in it on how the process works. Why? Because you're too stuck up in your own little head because all you care about is your own objectives.

Donald (Octopus): The whole reason I even went to different worlds in the first place is to find the King! Nothing more!

Nintega (Shark): Well, good luck explaining this to Ariel. Or have you forgotten she is still behind you?

Donald (Octopus): What do you even mean by th-

Turning around, Donald swam back in shock seeing Ariel staring right at him with a conflicted expression.

Ariel: What did you mean...? About different worlds...? And finding the King...?

Donald looked at Ariel and turned back towards Nintega who raised his hands.

Nintega (Shark): Oh no. Don't look to me for help. You caused that yourself. I only fueled it. Your hot temper is what sets it off. Has anyone ever told you that you have a speech impediment?

Donald (Octopus): Why you- I oughta...!!

Donald began to quack and swing his arms before beginning to chase after Nintega as they swam around the area.

Kitty (Mermaid): I'm so done with those two... If Jammy were here, it would be three...

As the group sighed at having to see this unfold again, we could only watch and wait for them to lose enough stamina to be able to sort this out. Sorry Ariel... Hopefully you get an explanation soon...

Nintega (Shark): What you oughta be doing is turning around, face Ariel and tell her what you meant. Don't want to lose an ally in the world where you could possibly find your precious king right?

Donald (Octopus): You were the one who caused this entire mess in the first place!!!

Turning around, Nintega begins to side shuffle in the water while shaking his hips while waving his hand.

Nintega (Shark): Not my problem~!

Donald (Octopus): NINTEGA!!!

Nintega (Shark): I'm not listening~!

Donald (Octopus): GET BACK HERE!!!

Nintega (Shark): Can't make me~!

Donald was having another fuming situation, even though I don't know how he can be hot headed in the ocean like this. Almost reminds me of SpongeBob SquarePants for some reason... Actually no, dealing with anything in that show would be easier than dealing with these two right now.

Sora (Dolphin): Can you two knock it off already?! This is NOT helping anything!

Riku (Dolphin): Sora's right! Look!

Gesturing to three on-lookers, it looked that Ariel, Sebastian, and Flounder were scared by the interaction from our group. Just... Freaking... Fantastic! Is there going to be ONE world where something doesn't go wrong?!

Flounder: I really don't know if we should trust them Ariel...

Sebastian: I knew they were suspicious from the beginning! I knew we should have never agreed to help!

Ariel: I...

Swimming up to Ariel quickly, I took a deep breath as I calmly explained to them as best I could.

Kitty (Mermaid): Okay, okay, okay. Look, I know my "friends" are not as... Calm as I am... But we generally do want to help. Yes, we have these disputes and yes, we do come from another world other than this one, but it's because of those reasons we need to be here... I'm sorry if I can't explain all of it, but we really do want to help...

Sebastian: That doesn't give much confidence.

Kitty (Mermaid): I really wish I could give the whole story, but we have dealt with those creatures ourselves a lot. We have been chased from the world we came from to here. We don't want to see this world at risk from them, our priority is just to make sure everyone here, and your home is safe. I know it's a big ask.. And I'm truly sorry that I am asking this after what you have seen with the group... But please, we just need your trust long enough to be able to help you all. I will stick to my word I gave earlier, I will take full responsibility for anything.

Ariel looked at me as she swimmed up to me and floated in front of me.

Ariel: Well... It's hard when something like this happens and becomes confusing, but I feel like I can trust you~

Suddenly glad I have a mermaid tail instead of legs right now, or I'd have felt them collapse under me in relief. Finally, something is going right for once!

Kitty (Mermaid): Thank you so much! I'm so glad to be able to have your trust.

Sebastian: Girl! Are you even sure about this!? Look at them!

Ariel began to take a look at Nintega swimming away from Donald, but caused him to crash into a rocky surface. Talk about getting rocked.

Kitty (Mermaid): Hehe... Umm... I know it doesn't seem like it, but Nintega getting chased can be serious when needed. Just... In his own way... Donald... He's just short tempered...

Donald (Octopus): I AM NOT SHORT TEMPERED!

Riku (Dolphin): You just proved that exact point.

Sora (Dolphin): Your hot temper even melts ice. When you've been ENCASED in it even...

Nintega (Shark): Should have thought of that earlier! Would have saved a lot of trouble if we just had him frozen! Is it too late to do that?!

Donald (Octopus): DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!

I rubbed my forehead as I felt a headache coming along, but took some deep breaths before I made anything worse and lose the trust I just got. Thankfully, Goofy is the best peacemaker.

Goofy (Turtle): Maybe we should just get back on track. We still need to find Jammy, we don't want to lose track of him.

Realizing we still needed to find Jammy, even I felt worried we spent this whole time arguing like this. Please let him be okay...

Ariel: If you're worried about your friend, the best place I could bet he'd be is at the palace as long as he followed the tridents.

Flounder: But what about your father...? He hates humans!

Ariel: That... May be a problem...

Sora (Dolphin): How bad would it be if Jammy was at the palace with your father...?

Sebastian: He'd be fried by the zap of King Triton's, well, Trident.

Oh that is a huge problem... Please, please, please for the love of everything let Jammy be okay...

Nintega (Shark): We better hurry and fast then. Lead the way, Jamaican lobster!

Sebastian: For the last time, I am NOT Jamaican!

Before Nintega could say anything else, I glared to tell him to stop. I don't need to be zapped so soon if he causes any problems. Sebastian began swimming away from the group to go ahead, Flounder and Ariel following as the group went with them to get to the palace. Just please let things go okay...

Location: Triton's Throne.

Why do Heartless have to be so persistent?! Even when we defeat some, three of them just won't get off our trail! That was until a sudden zap happened as we all looked behind us to see them gone, along with a voice speaking up.

???: That was too close.

Ariel turned back around with a smile as she began to swim over to the throne, everyone looking at who the voice belongs too. The King of Atlantica himself, Ariel's father and wielder of the Trident, King Triton.

King Triton: As long as I have my Trident, I will not tolerate those creatures inside this palace.

Ariel swam up to the King excited to see him.

Ariel: Daddy!

King Triton: Oh, Ariel.

That excitement soon turned into a wince from the harsh look she was given.

King Triton: When will you learn to listen? It's dangerous out there!

Ariel didn't seem thrilled to hear this, as Triton looked at the group. What he said though caused Sora and Donald to look annoyed.

King Triton: Strange creatures lurk outside.

When the King had finished speaking, Sebastian swam up to be in front of the throne as he looked at us.

Sebastian: Behold. You swim before the ruler of the seas: His Majesty, King Triton.

Before anyone could say anything, Triton looked from us to Sebastian to ask him a question.

King Triton: And who are they?

Ariel was the one to answer the question as she began swimming back up to the throne.

Ariel: They helped us fight off the creatures.

King Triton: They don't look familiar.

Taking the chance to explain, Sora spoke up.

Sora (Dolphin): We're from an ocean very far away.

Goofy (Turtle): Yup. We came to find the Keyhole.

Nintega (Shark): Didn't need to say that bit, Goofy...

And that cat is out the bag... Pretty sure we were meant to keep that secret. Triton yelled in shock at what Goofy said, pretty much confirming that it was meant to remain secret.

King Triton: The what?!

However, Ariel's reaction was completely different as she was more curious.

Ariel: What's that?

Goofy (Turtle): Well, it's a-

Before Goofy could finish what he was going to say, Triton interrupted and shocked everyone at how strongly he reacted.

King Triton: There's no such thing. Certainly not here.

Ariel: But, Daddy...

A glare was shot Ariel's way as if daring how to even say anything, Sebastian in agreement as he covered his mouth with his claws as Triton kept speaking.

King Triton: Ariel, not another word!

Ariel wouldn't even be given a chance to even speak up, Triton continuing to speak as he looked at Ariel.

King Triton: You are not to leave the palace. Is that clear?

Ohh, that was certainly the wrong thing to say. Like father, like daughter with the glares as Ariel glared back at Triton. Turning around, she swam out of the throne room. As the others were swimming away, I stayed to ask Triton a question real quick.

Kitty (Mermaid): My apologies for being so forward, but is there a reason why you are worried about Ariel learning about the Keyholes?

King Triton looked at me and raised a hand.

King Triton: That is of no concern to you. And what I do is as a father should in protecting their children. As a father and a King, it is my duty to protect this city AND make sure no harm comes to my daughter, Ariel.

Kitty (Mermaid): And I most certainly understand. But... Is keeping secrets from Ariel going to help? Do you think she won't find out anyway?

King Triton: What do you know? Care to explain what a Keyhole is??

As I was about to say something, someone grabbed my hand as it was Nintega to pull me away.

Nintega (Shark): Sorry your highness! I'm sorry the fish-cat is bothering you!

Kitty (Mermaid): WHO ARE YOU CALLING FISH-CAT!? Come up with better nicknames...

Nintega (Shark): How about cat-fish then?

Kitty (Mermaid): A literal fish species.

Nintega (Shark): Works for me, Cat-fish!

Kitty (Mermaid): You are so lucky you are needed on the team...

Nintega (Shark): Got that right!!

As we swam away from the throne room, we hurried to get out of the city where the others were at, I looked at Nintega while we swam.

Kitty (Mermaid): So... CARE TO EXPLAIN?! Clearly, there is something fishy going on here, and it's not just Ursula causing trouble here.

Nintega (Shark): Did... Did you just make a pun?

Kitty (Mermaid): What? You don't think you and Jammy will rub off on me when we've been hanging out for... Over 2 years? Now stop dodging the subject and speak up. Why is Triton hiding the truth about the Keyhole?

Nintega (Shark): That's because Triton KNOWS about the Keyhole and other worlds!

Kitty (Mermaid): ...Huh? I thought only the Keyblade wielders, Donald, Goofy, and a few others knew about them. Does this have something to do with 10 years ago?

Nintega (Shark): No, nothing like that. I never came here 10 years ago and neither did Ven, Aqua and Terra. King Triton just seems to know the existence of other worlds AND the Keyhole. My guess is that something happened off-screen at some point in time before we ever came here that revealed the existence of the Keyhole, and it has been a guarded secret. Afterall, the Keyhole is the doorway to the Heart of this world. Anything that happens to that Keyhole, this world goes with it!

Kitty (Mermaid): So now not only do we have Ursula here, we have a King who knows everything, and doesn't want anyone speaking about it. Anything else to go wrong in this world? Sarcasm intended... If we can't even SPEAK about the Keyhole, how are we even supposed to seal it?!

Nintega (Shark): Patience Cat. Curiosity will eventually kill you.

Kitty (Mermaid): The rest of the saying is satisfaction brings the cat back to life.

Nintega rolled his eyes as we kept swimming our way out of the city. Once we did, Ariel would then tell us to go to her Grotto for something.

Location: Ariel's Grotto.

As we reached the Grotto, random objects were all over the place as the whole place was filled with them.

Ariel: Look at all the wonderful things Flounder and I've collected. I think it's all from the outside world. Someday, I'm going to see what's out there. I want to see the other worlds, does that sound strange?

Ariel looked at us as she asked us this, no one thinking it strange at all as Sora answered.

Sora (Dolphin): No. Not at all. I used to feel the same way.

Ariel: Used to?

Sora (Dolphin): I mean... I still do.

I swear I hate Nintega being right about the curiosity killing the cat part, fearing Triton would think I came up with this idea Ariel just had, or putting her up to it.

Ariel: Hey, why don't we try looking for that Keyhole you were talking about?

Goofy (Turtle): But your father said-

Ariel looked annoyed at the mention of her father, evident with her words.

Ariel: Oh, he treats me like a little girl. He never wants to let me do anything. He just... He just doesn't understand.

Riku (Dolphin): And there isn't any changing your mind? What if your father gets mad?

Ariel: I can't just keep worrying about if my father gets mad at something. I don't want to keep being treated like a little girl, and I agreed to help you.

Everyone looked at each other, as Ariel did have a point on that with agreeing to help. And this could be the best chance we have to find the Keyhole.

Riku (Dolphin): Well... If you're sure you're not worried about it, then your help would be great.

Nintega (Shark): And at least we'll have someone who knows this place so we don't get lost.

Ariel: Well if that's settled, then let's get going.

And with that, Ariel began to swim out of the grotto with everyone following behind. But I can't shake the feeling that someone or something had been watching...

Location: Sunken Ship.

After a long swim back to where we began, and having to grab onto a dolphin's fin and hold on tight to get through the currents, we finally made it past Sebastian's security to whatever is behind them! And behind the currents, was a sunken ship. It looks like the one Prince Eric was on in the movie.

Kitty (Mermaid): So, what are we looking for? Except for the Keyhole, before someone with a shark fin says anything about that.

Nintega (Shark): I resent that, Cat-fish.

Kitty (Mermaid): Don't even try it, I know you by now. And I am NOT A FISH! Wonder if sharks can become... Well shark food.

As I was talking, I saw something swimming out in the distance and I shivered with goosebumps.

Kitty (Mermaid): What was that!? I swear I saw something in the distance...

Donald (Octopus): Quit messing around! We have things to do!

I hissed under my breath as sashimi was getting more tempting right now if Donald can't keep his beak shut, but held my tongue. As I was about to say something, Nintega chipped in as he seemed to notice something.

Nintega (Shark): Huh? Did you guys see something enter the ship?

Looking at Nintega, I tried to see what he meant, but couldn't see anything.

Kitty (Mermaid): Huh? No. What did you see?

Nintega (Shark): I thought I could've sworn... Never mind. Let's hurry into the ship and see what we can find. Whatever it will be, we'll add it to Ariel's grotto.

Location: Inside the ship.

As we all swam into the ship to look around. I looked around in awe of what a ship looked like on the inside. We kept swimming deeper as we found some chests.

Sora (Dolphin): I got it.

Sora began to swim towards the chests as Riku seemed to go wide in shock at seeing something.

Riku (Dolphin): SORA! WAIT!!

As Sora was about to open a chest, I looked at the window and panicked as I yelled.

Kitty (Mermaid): SHARK ATTACK!!

Sora looked up as the Shark was crashing into the ship with its teeth ready to bite down on Sora. We all closed our eyes as we couldn't see what would happen.

???: Gnnnn... Damn kid. You're a real hassle to keep maintenance on, you know that? You deserve every spike nickname you're given...!

Hearing that voice, I suddenly looked to see that Jammy had rushed in and was using his Keyblade as a holder to keep the shark's mouth from closing on him. Only problem was, Jammy was in the mouth of the shark!!

Kitty (Mermaid): JAMMY!?

Nintega (Shark): Where the hell did you come from!?

Donald (Octopus): There goes the peace and quiet...

Soejammy (Breathing): Oh screw your beak shut, duck! Before I damn roast you alive in water!

Donald (Octopus): HOW!? WE'RE IN THE OCEAN!!!

Soejammy (Breathing): Who says we need to be in the ocean?

Donald quickly shut his beak when realizing what Jammy meant, Sora swimming away fast from the shark to safety. When Sora was safe, Jammy got his Keyblade and himself out of the Shark's mouth. Instead of going for a second attempt, the shark just swam away as we could breathe a sigh of relief.

Goofy (Turtle): Gwarsh, that was way too close.

Sora (Dolphin): If I never see another shark again, it will be too soon...

Riku (Dolphin): And that's why I was trying to warn you! If something is too good to be in the open, something is just not right.

Sora (Dolphin): Lesson learnt... The very hard way...

Soejammy (Breathing): Now, let's open that chest, shall we?

Going to the chest again, Jammy began to open it up as it is revealed to be a crystallized symbol of the Trident.

Sora (Dolphin): Hmm... Its shape reminds me of something.

Soejammy (Breathing): Duh. It's the same thing in Ariel's grotto? Come on. Keep up.

Turning around, Jammy was about to walk away, when I saw the huge shark make another attempt!!

Kitty (Mermaid): GET AWAY FROM THE WINDOW!!!

Looking over his shoulder, Jammy could see that the shark was going to attack him this time, but just as the jaws were about to snap on him, Jammy had jumped out of the way and landed on the roof of the ship!

Soejammy (Breathing): You asked for it now.

Pushing from the roof of the room, Jammy plowed right into the shark while stabbing through the head of the shark.

Soejammy (Breathing): Attacking my friends, attempting the same trick twice, trying to get me. I'll spill all your damn guts into a gorge if I have to get rid of a parasite like you.

Jammy pulled his Keyblade out before floating down in the water as the shark tried to attack again, but Jammy then twisted his body to let the shark's head roll him over before slicing down the side of the shark. What followed was massive blood rising up from the middle of the shark as it began to twitch and stop moving. Jammy looked at the shark before leaving it.

Soejammy (Breathing): I hate god damn sharks.

Donald (Octopus): YOU'RE A PSYCHO!! That was just... Pure brutal!

Jammy glared at Donald with one eye as if not wanting to hear it from the Duck himself and began to approach him.

Soejammy (Breathing): So, you would rather me LET the shark eat our friends? Give it a chance to attack us again after leaving? Don't go preaching where you wouldn't do the same. I don't GIVE a damn what you think. I came here because I'm trying to keep this world safe. I don't give a damn about your rules anymore. Kick me off the damn ship, but without me, you're helpless like you always are. So butt out of it!

Jammy turned his back towards Donald and continued walking before maneuvering himself to exit the ship with the crystal. Nobody said anything as we were all just in shock at what happened, only following after Jammy. Well almost nobody said anything, except for Donald giving the occasional grumble about how tempted he is to kick Jammy off the ship. Everyone ignored him though as we all headed back to Ariel's Grotto to place the crystal Trident there.

Location: Ariel's Grotto.

Once reaching the Grotto, everyone watched as Jammy raised the crystal to the identical hole as it was a perfect fit. Swimming up, we could see it glow brightly in place in awe.

Soejammy (Breathing): Not this time...

I could hear Jammy say that under his breath as we heard another voice in an uproar.

King Triton: Ariel!

Swimming into the Grotto, King Triton began to address to him what he told Ariel.

King Triton: You disobeyed me again! I told you not to leave the palace!

He widened his eyes at something as the King began to prepare his Trident.

Ariel: Daddy, no!

Firing a blast, King Triton aimed for the crystal look-a-like of the trident, but Jammy summoned his Oblivion and began to hold back the blast that was meant for the crystal!!

Soejammy (Breathing): Ngh...!! Not...! This...! Time...!!

King Triton widened his eyes upon seeing this in front of him.

King Triton: What!? A human!? Breathing underwater!?

Soejammy (Breathing): You're forgetting the bigger picture, old man. I'm a Keyblade Wielder!!

Deflecting the shot upward, Jammy pushed off the ground to head towards King Triton as they locked weapons with each other!

Kitty (Mermaid): Jammy!?

Ariel: Daddy!?

King Triton: Young man!! Just what are you doing!?

Soejammy (Breathing): Saving this world!! Screw your superstitions all you want, but you know nothing about what a Keyhole really is!!

Pushing Jammy off, King Triton aimed for the Crystal again as it began to glow more brightly.

King Triton: I got to stop it!!

Soejammy (Breathing): OVER MY DEAD BODY!!!

Donald (Octopus): Kill him! Please!! Kill him!!!

We all looked at Donald for what he just said, myself unable to stop the hiss of anger as Nintega looked mad as hell.

Nintega (Shark): You ever DARE to even THINK about saying that again... Jammy won't be the only one boiling you alive!

Kitty (Mermaid): I'll be more than happy to keep turning the heat up while you do so!

We could hear more fighting and arguing as Jammy then had King Triton from behind and had the trident to his neck. King Triton began trying to slam Jammy into the walls of the grotto to shake him off. But in doing so, some of the stuff Ariel was collecting began to fall down slowly.

Ariel: NO! STOP!! STOP FIGHTING IN MY GROTTO!!

Jammy yelled out with another slam done to him as he looked down and noticed something.

Soejammy (Breathing): WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? SEAL THE KEYHOLE!!!

Everyone was confused, but looked to where the crystal Trident that was almost destroyed was. Eyes widening, we all realized that the Trident was the key to the Keyhole. Not wasting anymore time, Nintega got his Keyblade and sealed the Keyhole fast before King Triton could stop him.

King Triton: NO!!!

Reaching behind him, Triton grabbed Jammy by his leg and slammed him into the wall before throwing him down and then blasting him with the trident's power. The attack propelled Jammy down faster and crashed him to the ground of the grotto.

King Triton: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?

Jammy could only groan in pain as Triton began to charge up another blast meant for Jammy. I hurried and swimmed over to where Jammy was and got in the way.

Kitty (Mermaid): Please wait! Please, let me explain! You asked me earlier what the Keyhole was, I can tell you!! Just leave Jammy alone...!

King Triton: MOVE ASIDE!!!

Nintega (Shark): You go anywhere near Jammy...

Nintega then brandished his Keyblade and pointed it at Triton as a threat.

Nintega (Shark): I'll fight you in his place.

King Triton: You too!?

Jammy groaned as there were some singed marks on his chest from the attack dealt to him just now.

Soejammy (Breathing): Hoping the saying that lightning never strikes in the same place twice is true right now...

King Triton: ENOUGH OF YOUR INSOLENT TALK, HUMAN!!

Triton began charging his weapon up and was about to strike down on Jammy, but something stopped him.

Ariel: STOP IT!!

King Triton: Stay out of this, Ariel!

Ariel: No! I am not going to let you hurt them! They have helped us! Why won't you tell me what you're so scared of with this Keyhole?!

King Triton: ARIEL!! NOT ANOTHER WORD!! LEAVE THE GROTTO, NOW!!!

Ariel: NO! Why won't you tell me anything???

King Triton: It's for your protection!!! GO BACK TO THE PALACE!! NOW!!!!

Ariel: Protection from what? Why would I go back and hide from something I don't even know?

Soejammy (Breathing): Might as well tell her old man. You're not acting so cool yourself. Attacking me, attacking the crystal. What? You want her to hate you forever? Keeping secrets? She's going to be queen one day, and you're going to hide what makes it so special? Tch... Some father and King you are.

King Triton glared with murderous intent while igniting his weapon.

King Triton: STAY OUT OF THIS HUMAN!!!!

Soejammy (Breathing): Or what? His royal highness pokes my ass with his little dinky spear? You wouldn't go as far as to kill me in your daughter's private grotto! I dare you! Do it! Are you a man?! Or are you a mouse?!

King Triton looked as if he was about to kill Jammy, the Trident still ignited ready to strike. It almost felt as if time was frozen, everyone waiting to see what would happen. A glance at a terrified Ariel broke the stalemate, the Trident being put down as King Triton looked back at Jammy.

King Triton: You are to leave this place, you and all the outsiders. If you even speak ONE more word about the Keyhole, there is no more mercy.

Jammy looked at King Triton as if shocked by this and looked at him.

Soejammy (Breathing): No. Don't you even dare stop right now. Come on! Do it! Just do it damn it! Don't you dare stop after what you started! Finish me!!

Sora (Dolphin): What the heck are you doing?! This is insane, even for you!!

Riku (Dolphin): For once I agree with Sora!

Soejammy (Breathing): Stay out of this! This does not concern you both!

Jammy quickly looked back to the King.

Soejammy (Breathing): Come on damn you! Finish me off right here!!! Don't make the same mistakes of allowing Ursula to just be banished damn it!!!! Nothing good came from that!!!

Well that set off the anger switch, the Trident immediately reignited as the glare alone could cause a murder.

King Triton: Don't even speak of that! How do you even know about that with Ursula?!

Soejammy (Breathing): While you were keeping your secrets, Ursula made friends with those just like her. And those Heartless are the reckoning of YOUR MISTAKES!!!

King Triton: What do you even know of her?!

Soejammy (Breathing): More than you EVER will! While you hide and sit on your throne, thinking you're safe, Ursula is scheming. Planning and waiting for her moment when she can steal your damn trident!! If you're not careful, even your daughter will be used by her!!!

Ariel looked at Jammy shocked at the mention of her being used, looking more fearful.

Ariel: What do you mean...?

Soejammy (Breathint): Go ahead your majesty. Tell her!! Tell her about the existence of other worlds! I know you know about it! Even the Keyhole and Keybearers!!! We're talking about it! And that just boils your damn blood to kill me!! So COME OOOOOON THEN!!! KILL MEEEEEE!!!

Even when there were people pleading with him, especially Ariel to stop, King Triton wasn't listening to anyone or anything in his rage. All anyone could do was watch as the Trident was being charged up to full power, before the strongest bolt of lighting struck where Jammy was.ure?) As quick as the attack was brought, so too was Nintega as he blocked the strike with his Keyblade and proceeded to push King Triton out of the grotto!

Soejammy (Breathing): Damn it Nintega!!

Nintega (Shark): Excuseeee me sir, for saving your life!

Soejammy (Breathing): Do I look like I'm trying to joke right now!?

Nintega (Shark): Neither am I! You were literally risking your life taunting the King like that!!

Soejammy (Breathing): You fool! You have no idea what is going on!!

Nintega (Shark): Then tell us what is going on!!

As Jammy was about to explain, a bolt of lightning began to shoot into the grotto as Jammy quickly dived to get Nintega out of the way!

King Triton: We don't need to hear another word from that human Keyblade wielder. Or do we need another wielder trying to push me out. You want to be killed? I will grant that wish!

Soejammy (Breathing): Kill me all you want!! But do NOT attack my FRIENDS!!!

Jammy was about to face King Triton, but felt something as he went down on his hands and knees.

Soejammy (Breathing): GAH!!! NGH!!!

As we watched, dark fumes began to surge from his body as he hugged himself while breathing hard.

Soejammy (Breathing): G-GAAAAAAH!!!

Jammy began to take deep breaths as he clutched his own shoulders.

Soejammy (Breathing): D-Damn that witch...! Doing this to me against my will...!!

Goofy (Turtle): What do you mean Jammy??

Kitty (Mermaid): Maleficent?! MALEFICENT WAS HERE?!

As we tried to approach Jammy, he held a hand out and yelled as loud as he could.

Soejammy (Breathing): STAY AWAY!! DON'T COME NEAR ME!!

Kitty (Mermaid): We can't just leave you like this!! What happened...? What happened to you against your will...?

Soejammy (Breathing): NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!!! JUST GET AWAY FROM HERE!!! NOW!!!

Donald (Octopus): No arguments here if I can get away from the psycho!

Without any hesitation, Donald immediately left the Grotto with glares following him from the group. Everyone else was hesitant however, no one followed Donald at all.

Sora (Dolphin): Let the octo-duck do what he wants, we're not leaving our team and friend behind!

Nintega (Shark): You got that right! We stick together!

Kitty (Mermaid): Whatever happens, we're staying here!

Riku (Dolphin): No pushing us away right now!

Goofy (Turtle): Friends stay with each other!

Everyone was in agreement, no one even moving to exit the Grotto. Jammy looked at each of us as the Darkness began to surge more out of control.

Soejammy (Breathing): YOU FOOLS!!!

Quickly acting, Jammy began to climb to the hole above the grotto to get out!

Nintega (Shark): What is he doing now?!

Once Jammy got out through the hole at the top of the Grotto, he disappeared from sight as a wave of dark energy spread across where he went through before light could be seen shining through again.

Riku (Dolphin): The darkness is never usually that out of control... And he mentioned something forced against his will...

Sora (Dolphin): Maleficent had to have done something! But what? Should we follow after Jammy?

Nintega (Shark): We have too if we can!

Kitty (Mermaid): Less talking, more swimming!

We all began to ascend to the top, but we were stopped by King Triton when sealing the top.

King Triton: What part of NOT associating with that human, do you all not understand!?

I growled as I was worried about Jammy, fearful of what happens if he loses control.

Kitty (Mermaid): That human is our FRIEND! He means more to us than what YOU think about humans!!

King Triton: This is absurd!! What does that human mean to all of you!?

Kitty (Mermaid): A lot. Friendship, loyalty, teamwork, safety, comfort. And why does it matter? Wasn't it you saying to just leave? Or do you still want to kill him so badly?

King Triton: As long as that human leaves my kingdom and my people in peace, along with never returning, I won't have to! If you care about that human so much, then keep him OUT of my kingdom!!

Kitty (Mermaid): He, along with us, is here to HELP your kingdom! He just helped to SAVE your kingdom!

King Triton: Well if he is DONE with what he needs to do, he can leave! I have no idea what he did to the Keyhole, but I'd rather that matter NEVER be shown!

Kitty (Mermaid): You want the matter done? Then it comes down to Ursula. She has to be stopped. None of that will matter with the Keyhole if she can just keep bringing those creatures here!

King Triton looked at me as he gave a glare.

King Triton: And what do you have to say about Ursula???

I took a deep breath as this is something I need to get across right so that I don't make the King even more mad. Looking at King Triton, I tried keeping calm while speaking.

Kitty (Mermaid): We have had trouble with her before. If we hadn't made an escape or if she hadn't gone before we could defeat her before, I don't know how different things would have gone. She brought those creatures to different worlds. The Keyhole... That locks the world, keeps it safe from the Heartless. When we can defeat Ursula, I promise your kingdom is safe. Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder, you, everyone here will be safe. We will leave as soon as we finish, including the human.

King Triton looked at us before turning his back to us.

King Triton: Do what you wish. But the moment Ursula is defeated, you are to report to me, including making sure that human stays out of my Kingdom. After that, you all can see yourselves out next afterwards.

King Triton began to swim away as I could only glare at him from behind. Geez... At least a thank you would be nice...

Nintega (Shark): Now that King "Pain in the ass" is gone, we need to check on Jammy!

Goofy (Turtle): But where would he even be?

Riku (Dolphin): We saw Jammy go through the hole above this place. He has to be up there.

Sora (Dolphin): The hole sealed by the King... We either go a really long way around, or try and get it unsealed. Maybe lightning could work?

Nintega (Shark): Yeah... Let's NOT cause more damage after what happened here...?

Looking around, I could see Ariel looking at her trinkets and collection either scorched or broken because of what happened.

Kitty (Mermaid): We have to figure something out... I vote on taking the tunnel out and then look for Jammy.

As the others began to swim out, I looked at Ariel and tried to approach her, but then I backed off thinking that she was in deep thoughts right now.

Location: Undersea Gorge

After exiting, we began to swim up to see if we could find Jammy, but just as Nintega reached the top first, something jumped at him and drove him back down!

Nintega (Shark): WHAT THE-!?

A crash could be heard as we all looked down to see the smoke clearing to reveal a dark shrouded enemy as it lifted its head up and roared out violently.

Dark Creature: AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

Riku (Dolphin): What is THAT!?

Kitty (Mermaid): I'm not a game nerd with knowledge here, but all I know is it's FREAKING BAD NEWS!!

Roaring, it looked up towards us as Nintega quickly wrapped his Keyblade around the creature's neck to restrain it.

Nintega (Shark): GO!! LOOK FOR JAMMY!! I GOT IT HERE!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): For once I agree with you... I owe you big time for this!!

Before the creature could get out of Nintega's grip, everyone swam as fast as they could and reached the top. Luckily, there were no more creatures to jump on us here. But still couldn't help but feel there could still be more. As we kept swimming, we began talking about those creatures and what it could be.

Sora (Dolphin): We've never seen a creature like that before...! Could it be Ursula's doing?

Goofy (Turtle): But she usually just summons Heartless. And that doesn't seem like any Heartless we've seen yet.

RIku (Dolphin): It could be the boss the octopus sent. And I don't mean Donald.

Kitty (Mermaid): It's possible... But all the bosses have had some sort of emblem on them. There was nothing there... That creature just... Almost seemed to be pure darkness.

Crashing could be heard as we looked down to see Nintega being slammed into walls at intense speeds. Healing himself whenever and however possible. And suddenly fearing for Nintega's safety...

Kitty (Mermaid): If they are a Heartless boss, then we need to get to the source and defeat her fast. If they're not... Well, we still need to find the source of them. We need to keep looking for Jammy, he's our best bet on finding out what they are. Let's move before we become the next targets...

Moving away from the top, we kept up our search for Jammy. But no matter how much we searched, we couldn't find Jammy anywhere.

Riku (Dolphin): You see him over there!?

Goofy (Turtle): Nope!

Sora (Dolphin): Just rocks here!

Kitty (Mermaid): And even more endless ocean...! Where is that doofus hiding?!

Hearing another roar, it shook the ocean floor as we rushed back to see Nintega keeping the beast busy as he looked at us.

Nintega (Shark): Find Jammy yet!?

Riku (Dolphin): No sign of him whatsoever!

Sora (Dolphin): Any luck getting that creature down yet?! Any damage at all?!

Nintega was barely keeping the beast restrained, clinging onto his Keyblade for dear life as he gave a deadpan to Sora.

Nintega (Shark): What does it look like!?

The creature roared as it then reached to grab Nintega by his head and then pulled him over to toss him downward to the ocean floor. How strong is this thing?!

Goofy (Turtle): We're not going to be able to do anything if this beast follows and attacks us!

Riku (Dolphin): We'll need to find a way to take it down first then!

Looking around, I noticed some rocks going unstable that could fall at any moment.

Kitty (Mermaid): Most insane but most possible plan. Lure the creature over to the rocks! If we can get them to fall on it, we may at least keep it trapped enough to get some distance!

Nintega (Shark): I must be hearing things... Kitty pulling a Jammy???

Kitty (Mermaid): I will PURPOSELY make sure you are trapped in the rocks too if you don't SHUT. UP!

Nintega (Shark): And there's the Tsun-Kitty I know.

Kitty (Mermaid): Don't. Tempt. Me. I will do it simp! You could use your Keyblade to teleport out, if it works.

Nintega (Shark): "IF"!? You're basing on an "IF"!?

Kitty (Mermaid): That's... Been our entire adventure...

Nintega (Shark): That I can't disagree on. LET'S DO THIS!!!

With a plan in mind, the wild chase to the rocks began. Sora and Riku were getting the rocks more unstable to make sure they would fall, Goofy, Nintega and myself getting the creature lured over to the rocks by swimming close and moving back before it grabbed us. We were almost there, just a little further and we will have it trapped! As we had our backs against the wall, the creature glared at us, but looked up to see the unstable rock formation above. Glaring back at us, it roared before turning around to make its escape!

Kitty (Mermaid): We were so close!! But maybe it won't bother us again...

Nintega (Shark): I rather it have been a Sabor fight...

Sora (Dolphin): That... Was one of the worst fights... Ugh, give me Heartless any day over that creature OR Sabor...

A rumbling cut off our talk, the three of us on the wall looking up. Screaming in panic, we swam away fast as the formation was about to collapse on us!

Nintega (Shark): I DON'T WANT TO BE A PANCAKE!!!

Goofy (Turtle): Not good, not good, not good!

Kitty (Mermaid): In the words of Dory, just keep swimming!!!

We all screamed as each rock was coming down and almost hitting us until we were able to escape the range of the trap.

Nintega (Shark): Next time... Let Jammy take the bait trap!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): I'd never thought I'd agree with you... But the impossible happens again where I agree with you...

After getting away from the falling debris, Riku began to make a headcount of all of us here.

Riku (Dolphin): Is everyone okay?!

Goofy (Turtle): We're okay! Luckily, no one got hurt.

Nintega (Shark): Anyone seen the duck lately? I know he left us alone here.

Sora (Dolphin): No sign of him at all. Do we really need to look for him though?

We were silent as we then sighed except for Goofy.

Kitty (Mermaid): Considering his magic is the reason we're fish people... We need him to change us back when we leave...

Riku (Dolphin): Then we have no choice but to find him...

Goofy (Turtle): Gwarsh, I know Donald is a bit... Hot headed, but he is still a good friend.

We looked at each other, unsure how much we could call Donald a good friend to any of us but Goofy.

Kitty (Mermaid): We know he's a good friend to you, Goofy. It's... Just a little hard to see it for the rest of us. Just going to take a lot of time.

Nintega (Shark): Yeah... No offense, until Donald goes through character development, there is NO changing that selfishness inside him.

Riku (Dolphin): I do believe that he is a good friend, but... It's just...

Sora (Dolphin): He just doesn't really show it...

Nintega (Shark): Exactly.

Kitty (Mermaid): Well, what do we do then? There's Ursula to beat, Jammy and Octo-Duck to find, and a King not to make any more mad then we already have. Never going to be one world there's not a lot to do...

Coming up with a plan, Nintega points to where we need to go.

Nintega (Shark): We'll go fight Ursula. Hopefully while we swim our way there, we'll come across the duck and hopefully Jammy.

Goofy (Turtle): Do you know what we have to do to win against Ursula?

Nintega (Shark): Well... Considering the circumstances... Crap... Ariel might get used against her father soon.

Riku (Dolphin): Is there any way to stop that from happening at all?

Nintega (Shark): No. All we can do now is go check on the King and stop Ursula. More hoping that it doesn't lead to a second phase if possible...

Sora (Dolphin): Of course there could be a second phase... But what's going to happen to the King if we need to check on him? He's not exactly happy with us.

Nintega (Shark): True, but...

Swimming over, Nintega wrapped an arm around Sora's neck.

Nintega (Shark): What happens when you lose your only weapon and become badly hurt from your mortal enemy in battle and there are other capable warriors to help?

Sora looked at Nintega as if he's acting more insane than usual asking this question.

Sora (Dolphin): What's with the oddly specific question?

Nintega (Shark): Because the King is going to get humbled and will be the one needing the help instead. He's so sure of himself he can defend the kingdom and yet also handle himself? Yeah, that's a hindsight if I saw any.

Kitty (Mermaid): And now I know exactly the fight you mean that's about to happen.... Ugh... Even just watching it happen sucked, never mind doing it...

Nintega (Shark): At least you know...

Kitty (Mermaid): Sea witch turning Triton into some sort of... Slime? Getting the Trident, growing completely giant and having the most ear grating laugh? Yeah... Not fun...

Nintega (Shark): What? No. That happens the next visit in the sequel game. Ursula doesn't have time to do it when we arrive the first time to stop her.

I gained numerous tick marks on my head, holding up a hand.

Kitty (Mermaid): And this is why I keep telling you to give SPECIFIC DETAILS!! Anyone who didn't know the series would think back to the MOVIE!!

Nintega (Shark): Most of the stuff that happens here -Excluding Wonderland, Tarzan and Neverland- play out so differently!

Kitty (Mermaid): How do you expect everyone to know that?! Some people didn't get a chance to play the games, you know?! You're meant to be the expert right now!!

Nintega (Shark): Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess.

Kitty (Mermaid): Can this actually become Legend of Zelda? You'd make a great Link. Strong but silent.

Nintega (Shark): Now that's hurtful to say to me to the audience!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Please... For the love of everything... Stop letting Neptune influence you to break the 4th wall...

Nintega (Shark): Never.

Kitty (Mermaid): Well since you're so familiar with what's going to happen, does that mean we can use you as bait to get Ursula's attention?

Nintega (Shark): She'll just run away to her cove when we try to approach her at the throne room.

Sora (Dolphin): If we can't draw her attention, then how do we even get close enough to defeat her without her running... Or really swimming away?

Nintega (Shark): Strangely enough, she doesn't even try running away when we fight her in her cove.

Everyone looked at Nintega, clear confusion at what he said being seen.

Everyone but Nintega: ...Huh?

Nintega (Shark): You heard me right.

Riku (Dolphin): That is meant to make sense... How exactly...?

As everyone was trying to make sense of it all, I realized something when thinking of what Ursula may do.

Kitty (Mermaid): It's the cauldron, isn't it?

Nintega (Shark): Give the Tsun-Kitty some catnip!

Kitty (Mermaid): Oh please do! Gives me more energy to claw. Every. Single. Hair. Out. You. Damn. SIMP!

Nintega (Shark): Don't hate the player! Hate the game! Whoop whoop whoop whoop!!!

Nintega began to swim away as if to run for his dear life. But you know what they say about cats, we always keep our claws sharp for hunts.

Kitty (Mermaid): Seems there's a little mouse that needs to be caught~

Swimming after him fast, I kept my claws ready while calling out.

Kitty (Mermaid): How many times do I have to teach you this lesson?! Call me Tsun-Kitty, and your hair meets the claws!!

Nintega was screaming as he was swimming from me.

Nintega (Shark): LEAVE MY HAIR OUT OF THIS!!

Kitty (Mermaid): NOT UNTIL YOU STOP CALLING ME A TSUN-KITTY!!

It's honestly surprising we weren't drawing any attention from Ursula at this point, swimming around the entire place with the simp screaming enough it wouldn't surprise me if people on other worlds could hear it.

Location: Throne Room

As we made our way to the Throne Room, we did indeed see Ursula with her hand on the trident. I say hand as I almost forgot what Jammy did to Ursula back on Monstro... Such an M-rating for a kids game... Really glad this never actually happened in the game... Ursula heard us coming from behind as she gave us an evil smirk and disappeared. Knowing she was gone, we swam toward the King to check if he was okay. Ariel was already there with her father as she was really worried for him.

Ariel: Daddy!

King Triton looked bad as he seemed to have been attacked by Ursula before we got here.

King Triton: The trident... We must get it back.

Nintega (Shark): I think there is a certain someone who would say "I told you so" right about now. But he isn't here at the moment.

King Triton looked over to Nintega with a glare and then a sigh. Ariel looked guilty with it written on her face as she began to swim towards us.

Ariel: Is it true...? Are you all REALLY from another world...?

Nintega looked at Ariel and sighed.

Nintega (Shark): Yes... It is. We have reasons why that stuff is secret, but the more we try, it just ends up like that regardless.

Riku (Dolphin): Which someone isn't happy about when that happens... But no matter what we do, it happens.

Sora (Dolphin): It sucks not knowing things and having to keep secrets. But we really are here to help, and we'll keep helping you. We'll get the Trident back for you.

As we began to swim to leave the palace, Ariel swam quickly in front of us and had a worried expression.

Ariel: Wait...! Ursula got the Trident because of me...! After what happened because of the grotto... She appeared before me and told me what I could do... I have to make this right...!

Sebastian: And I'll be right behind you, Ariel!

Nintega (Shark): It's going to get dangerous. Not to mention that beast that we fought earlier. Had me almost ragdolling from how I was being attacked...

Kitty (Mermaid): I'm surprised you're still able to move with how badly that was beating you up... But, knowing all the danger, do you still want to come?

Asking Ariel this, she looked determined to come no matter what as she nodded.

Ariel: I do. I'm coming no matter what, to make things right.

Nintega (Shark): Alright. But let us do most of the fighting. If that beast comes back to attack again, we need to keep you safe. Otherwise... Daddy dearest himself will kill us... Trident or none...

And that was absolutely confirmed when King Triton spoke up.

King Triton: If ANYTHING happens to Ariel... It wouldn't be Ursula you'd have to be worried about...

With shivers running down all of the group's spine from the threat, we all promised fast not to let anything happen to Ariel. Everyone was ready to go, all leaving the Palace together to deal with Ursula once and for all. Just please... Don't let there be a second phase...

Location: Undersea Valley

As we made our way and fought some Heartless on the way, we began to wait for our little dolphin friend to help us out again. Apparently, the way to Ursula's lair is near where we found the crystal.

Kitty (Mermaid): Who decided it was a good idea to place a water current where we had to use a dolphin to get through each time???

Nintega (Shark): Don't ask me. It was Jammy insisting we just hurry. Not my fault he's fast as hell while we have to swim!

Kitty (Mermaid): Which is a very big pain when we can't even find him right now...! Ugh... One of the most annoying worlds so far... Not to mention we have a duck to find too.

Nintega (Shark): Then it would probably be bad to say right now that there was a shortcut if we unlocked it when we were at the ship area the first time...

Everyone looked at Nintega with mixed reactions, but all with hidden rage.

Everyone: THERE WAS A SHORTCUT THERE?!

Riku (Dolphin): When were you going to tell us that!?

Nintega (Shark): You never asked!!

Sora (Dolphin): Why the heck would we ask... ABOUT SOMETHING WE NEVER KNEW ABOUT?!

Nintega (Shark): I... Do not have an answer for that right now. Please hang up and call ag- AUGH!!!

Feeling annoyed from Nintega or Jammy's antics, I quickly skimmed over and clobbered Nintega with my Keyblade.

Kitty (Mermaid): WE COULD DIE ANYTIME WITH YOUR IDIOCY!!! STOP FOOLING AROUND AND GET SERIOUS!!! UNLESS YOUR PRECIOUS HAIR IS YOUR BRAINS, USE YOUR DAMN BRAIN!!

Gaining a tick mark, Nintega looked towards me with his signature glare as I saw an aura appear next to Nintega.

Nintega (Shark): Oi...~ DId you just make fun of my hair~?

Kitty (Mermaid): Yeesh... You and Josuke have to be secret siblings or something...

Nintega (Shark): If you're wanting to die that badly, I can arrange that for you in a-DOH!!!

Seeing Nintega getting attacked, he was pulled downward as it was the creature that we faced earlier!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Maybe... Focus on that creature first before preparing my death...

Nintega (Shark): SCREW YOU!!! HELP ME!!! HELP! ME!! FELINE!!! HELP ME!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Sorry, the dealing with Nintega the idiot brother line is closed. YOU are the one who says to keep an eye out, but did you follow your own advice? Nope.

The creature didn't seem to care about the talking at all, Nintega becoming a ragdoll once more as everyone winced.

Kitty (Mermaid): And the line just opened up again... Help is coming!

Swimming to the creature, I raised my Keyblade as I called down Thunder on it. When I did, the creature was beginning to be electrified in the water along with Nintega.

Nintega (Shark): N-N-N-N-N-N-NOOOOOOOT THE E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-ENEMY!!!!!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Debatable after your previous comment... Sorry, casualty damage from you BEING GRABBED BY THE ENEMY!!

After the shock was done, Nintega began to quickly swim from the enemy as it let out a roar to try and jump after Nintega.

Nintega (Shark): Jeez! Does it have a bone to pick with me or something!?

Sora (Dolphin): Well you did stay behind to fight it before so we could try finding Jammy...

Riku (Dolphin): What Sora actually meant, we'll find Jammy AND Donald. If we can't, we'll see if Ursula is the one controlling this thing.

Sora (Dolphin): Oh right, almost forgot we still had to find the Duck.

Riku looked at Sora based on what he said.

Riku (Dolphin): Huh. Seems someone is acting more like Jammy, right? Spikes?

Sora (Dolphin): DON'T YOU START WITH THE NAMES!!

Riku (Dolphin): What? Seems right since it's traditional, right?

Sora (Dolphin): NOTHING ABOUT THAT IS TRADITIONAL!!!

Goofy (Turtle): Gwarsh, sorry to interrupt. But the creature is looking more angry right now!

Looking down at the creature, it's beginning to destroy the ocean floor as it was beginning to throw rocks at us! But unfortunately, with how dense the rocks are, the weight only goes so far in water before sinking again.

Kitty (Mermaid): Okay... It's not exactly smart, can't swim, and really angry... What do we even do?

Nintega (Shark): Don't ask me for advice. I mean it. I have NO CLUE what this creature is!

Kitty (Mermaid): ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

Nintega (Shark): Would I be joking if I was right now??? Of course I'm serious right now!

Riku (Dolphin): Well this creature only keeps following us! So we either find a way to beat it NOW, or hope Ursula is in control of it and beat her FAST!

Nintega growled as he looked at the creature and sighed.

Nintega (Shark): Go get Ursula! I'll try and hold this thing off! But once I arrive, I'll need that information! You got half an hour to figure it out!

Summoning his Keyblade, Nintega began to swim downward towards the creature to get its attention before swimming away quickly.

Kitty (Mermaid): Okay! We have to get going! Now!

Ariel: And what about your friend?

Kitty (Mermaid): He'll be fine! We faced... bigger opponents than that.

Sora (Dolphin): It's true.

With Nintega leading the creature away, we began to hurry to the sunken ship.

Location: Sunken Ship

After arriving, Sebastian went over to the rock that was at the ocean floor as he began to creep into a crawl space behind a ship fragment and pressed a switch. Afterwards, the rock next to us began to sink down under the ground to reveal the way to Ursula's hideout.

Riku (Dolphin): Come on! We have no time to lose.

As we were about to swim in, we heard chattering as we all got our weapons out. Looking at a box, we could see it shaking as Riku was the first to approach it. Using his hand, he cautiously waited at the box to prepare himself. When finding the right time, Riku lifted the box and aimed his weapon at his target, only to find it out... It was the Duck...

Goofy (Turtle): Donald! We finally found you!

Donald (Octopus): Where did that thing go!? Don't reveal me to it!!

Goofy (Turtle): Uhh, what thing are you talking about?

Donald (Octopus): It's fast! Roars! And it can't swim!

We all looked at each other, realizing exactly what Donald was talking about.

Riku (Dolphin): Oh, that creature.

Donald (Octopus): You already know it!?

Sora (Dolphin): Yeah. But you would have been safer had you not decided to swim off on your own.

Kitty (Mermaid): I would say something, but Sora just stole what I was going to say. Anyway, we found the duck. Now let's go, Nintega is doing us a huge favor here. Let's get moving on.

Before we did, I did look at Donald real quick.

Kitty (Mermaid): Oh! Wait, did you happen to see Jammy anywhere?? We can't find him.

Donald (Octopus): I was in that box for a long time! I was fearing for my life!

Riku (Dolphin): Another reason to not go by yourself... Which you did.

Donald (Octopus): Can we NOT keep doing that!?

Riku (Dolphin): Only telling the truth.

As Donald fumed, we all ignored him as we just began swimming into the lair to deal with Ursula.

Location: Den of Tides

As we swimmed in, we came into a cavern of sorts as there were hot spots in it with stalactites hanging above us. Not only that, but Ursula must have upped security... Because there were some Ghosts from Monstro that were here now as well. With time limited for us, we really couldn't just wait and plan. With there being a few of them, we decided to go in and take them all at the same time since we had numbers. Surprisingly, it was really easy considering it was JUST the three. When swimming further ahead, we finally came to the entrance that leads to Ursula's lair.

Location: Tidal Abyss

Upon entering, we faced more of those ghosts, but not only that, but came across what would be the people that Ursula had made deals with in the past.

Riku (Dolphin): What is this?

Kitty (Mermaid): You're looking at the victims of what used to be other mer-people, turned into what you see now because of Ursula's contracts.

I could see some shock appearing on the other's faces in seeing this as they looked at the victims in their current states.

Sora (Dolphin): That's... That's just horrible.

Goofy (Turtle): Is there any way to help them...?

Kitty (Mermaid): Only one way I know of, which is what we're doing now. Defeat Ursula, the magic is broken and they'll all be fine again. That is... We have to kill her...

The others became shakened when hearing that someone would have to die today if it meant the difference between freeing the people under Ursula's spell. As nothing else was said, we continued to swim until we finally made it into the sanctum of where Ursula does her evil deeds. If this was like JoJo, I swear she would make a great Dio.

Location: Ursula's Lair

As we swimmed in, we could see Ursula not looking happy that we finally caught up with her in her own lair.

Kitty (Mermaid): Ursula! You have a lot of explaining to do!

Donald (Octopus): You can't run now!

Sebastian: Your time has come!!

As Ursula came closer, she sneered at Sebastian and Donald, causing them to shiver and scream in fright. I remained serious as with Jammy and Nintega not here, it meant I had to try and step up, but I didn't know if I could...

Kitty (Mermaid): Answer one question. Did you send a giant creature that looked like it could be pure darkness after us?

Ursula: What do you mean? You come here asking that when I thought you're here for the trident???

Kitty (Mermaid): Well that's another matter to deal with as well while we're here. But still, priorities.

Ursula: Then which is it? Are you here for questions, or are you here to fight???

Kitty (Mermaid): Well clearly both, we do need the trident. But you can't get answers to questions when fighting, can you?

Ursula rolled her eyes as she leaned against her little table.

Ursula: Then what is it you're asking? Because if it's a deal you're looking for-

Pointing my Keyblade at her face, I had a look of seriousness in my eyes.

Kitty (Mermaid): For you to play your own little tricks to make sure you have the upper advantage and make a deal go in your favor? Forget it, I'm not some "Poor, unfortunate soul" in need of your so-called help. All I want is to know if you sent a creature after us.

Ursula looked at me and rolled her eyes.

Ursula: Again, WHAT creature are you talking about??

My eyes widened as I looked back at the group, all with the same look of shock with Ursula knowing nothing.

Donald (Octopus): If it wasn't Ursula... Who the hell sent that creature after us?

I wanted to try and think, but hearing a roar, Nintega quickly began to swim into the lair, looking beat up and hurt.

Nintega (Shark): PLEASE! Tell me you figured it out yet!?

Kitty (Mermaid): NINTEGA!?

Donald (Octopus): THE CREATURE!!!

Ursula: WHY DID YOU BRING IT HERE!?

Nintega (Shark): I'm not a machine that can fight forever! Please! Tell me you have answers!!

Kitty (Mermaid): Ursula doesn't know anything! She's not the cause!!!

Nintega had a completely blank look on his face as he muttered.

Nintega (Shark): So you're saying... I have been a ragdoll for that THING for what feels like forever... FOR NO REASON?!

Ursula: Pretty much.

Nintega (Shark): NO ONE ASKED YOU, SUSHI!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): FOCUS! Did you figure out any way we can try and take that thing down?!

Nintega groaned as he looked back to where the creature was coming from.

Nintega (Shark): No! But the strangest thing was, when I summoned Crazy Diamond, it would disappear quickly and appear behind me each time! Like it had teleportation!

Thinking about this information, my eyes widened further as I looked at Nintega in shock.

Kitty (Mermaid): Nintega... Who do we know who got a stand that can stop time...?

Nintega (Shark): Well, that would be Jammy of- OH SON OF A BITCH!!!

Kitty (Mermaid): WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING JAMMY THE WHOLE FREAKING TIME!!!

The others, including Ursula, looked at us as if shocked.

Riku (Dolphin): Jammy!?

Sora (Dolphin): That can't be!

Donald (Octopus): That's it! He's gone and lost himself to the Darkness! What do we do now!?

Trying to think back, Jammy was trying to edge Triton to killing him in Ariel's grotto. Maleficent did something to Jammy while he wasn't here with us.

Kitty (Mermaid): Only one thing to try and see if it is Jammy...

As we waited for the creature to appear in the lair at the entrance. We were all nervous with how silent and the distant roar was getting closer. The lair was shaking with the strength the creature had as I could sense the power of this Darkness effectively.

Kitty (Mermaid): Nintega? Do you feel that?

Nintega (Shark): No. But with you having all that light, I think you can sense it quite clearly. Just like how Jammy can smell his own stench of Darkness on him.

Kitty (Mermaid): Darkness has a smell?

Nintega (Shark): Apparently? I know Riku could do it in the original timeline at a certain point.

Riku (Dolphin): How do you SMELL Darkness anyway???

Nintega (Shark): Darkness trait? Who the hell fuckin' knows.

Ursula: If you're done, I think I see the creature beginning to appear AROUND THE CORNER!!!

Hearing Ursula, I quickly looked back to see a glowing eye in the now darkened corridor leading back out as it was staring into the room.

Kitty (Mermaid): What's he doing...?

Nintega (Shark): Analyzing his situation. If I know Jammy, he likes playing the long game and figuring out his best chances to fight. He'll follow a strategy and adapt however he needs. That's how he fought me just now, he's thinking who to take down first...

Kitty (Mermaid): If he's thinking about that, I could only think of two people he wanted dead first...

Nintega and I looked at Donald and Ursula due to their own crimes they had committed that really set him off.

Donald (Octopus): WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME!?

Kitty and Nintega: Fish food.

Donald (Octopus): I AM NOT A SEA CREATURE!!!

Nintega (Shark): Yet right now, you are an octopus. So yes, you are.

Donald was going to say something, but the creature began to roar as it began to charge towards us, but then vanished.

Riku (Dolphin): Where did it-

Ursula: AHH!!!

Looking behind us, we could see Ursula was cornered by the creature, or rather... Jammy...

Creature (Soejammy): Grrrrrrrrrr!

Ursula: G-Get away from me!!

As Jammy began raising a hand, a shot of fire hit Jammy in his back as he looked back to see Donald was the cause.

Donald (Octopus): That's for chasing me, you palooka!

Nintega (Shark): Donald... That was the worst thing... You could have done... EVER... Of all time...

Donald (Octopus): What the heck do you- Where did he go...?

Looking back at where Jammy was, he had vanished again. But looking behind Donald, I only pointed as Donald looked behind him. A loud scream was heard from Donald, freaking out seeing Jammy right behind him.

Creature (Soejammy): RAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

Donald (Octopus): AHH!!

Donald began to swim for his life while Jammy began to chase Donald down like an animal! Donald was swimming up or down, across the room and back. Jammy was not slowing down as he was jumping around the lair after Donald. The walls were being broken, cabinets being destroyed and potions being knocked into the air.

Ursula: AH! Duck! STOP YOUR FLEEING IN MY HOME!!! YOU'RE LETTING THAT CREATURE DESTROY IT!!!

Donald (Octopus): Sorry lady, but I'm trying to swim for my life here!!

Ursula: THE MORE YOU KEEP THIS CHASE GOING, MY HOME IS DESTROYED!! THERE WON'T BE ANYTHING LEFT!!!

Nintega (Shark): Quit your bitchin' Karen.

Ursula looked at Nintega with a narrow glare, daring him to say one more word. As Donald was backed up into a corner, I swam forward with one word to say.

Kitty (Mermaid): Sit!

As the creature was about to pounce at Donald, it then crashed to the floor and cracked it from the pressure.

Creature (Soejammy): GUAAAAAAHHHH!!!

Nintega (Shark): Holy shit... It really is Jammy...

Riku (Dolphin): What did Maleficent do to him???

Kitty (Mermaid): We'll have to find out after getting Jammy back to normal!!

Recognizing the command that hurts him, the Creature looked towards me as it soon vanished. But with how Nintega said it happened to him before, I quickly learned to swim to my left as a claw grazes my tail softly before I twist my body to swing up with my Oathkeeper to knock him up into the air!

Kitty (Mermaid): NINTEGA!

Nintega (Shark): No need to tell me!! CRAZY DIAMOND!!!

Swimming up to the Creature, Nintega summoned out his stand. Even though I couldn't see Crazy Diamond clearly, the Creature looked to be being pummeled with a series of blows before its leg was grabbed and thrown into the wall. It let out a roar of pain as it was trying to fix its body from the damage it was dealt.

Nintega (Shark): Stupid healing factor! Why the hell is Jammy regenerating so fast?

Ursula: Do you really want to ask that while it is able to fight?! KILL IT!!

Nintega (Shark): That's my friend! My BROTHER!! I'm NOT going to lose him like that!!!

Ursula: Well your "Brother" right now, is trying to practically kill you. Unless you WANT to die, that's all you're going to get.

Nintega (Shark): The only one in this room I want to kill right now, is YOU. Sometimes the duck, but more you right now.

Donald (Octopus): LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS!!

Nintega (Shark): Shut it future roast duck, dealing with something important here!

Donald began to growl in anger with how he kept being treated like this. But with trying to get Jammy back to normal, that was the main focus.

Riku (Dolphin): We can't just keep attacking him! There's got to be a better way!

Goofy (Turtle): But we can't even get close to him. And he'll just be able to keep healing.

We could hear growling emanating from the Creature as we all looked at it. It was getting up slowly as it growled with intensity as it was building up an aura around it.

Ariel: What's it doing???

Sebastian: I don't know mon... But it's not good!!

Sora (Dolphin): Whatever it is... It's not good. Maybe you two should get out while you can...!

As the aura began to surge, I looked at everyone.

Kitty (Mermaid): BRACE YOURSELVES!!! HE'S LAUNCHING HIS ATTACK!!!

Looking at the creature, it convulsed as it curled up before letting out a roar while tendrils protruded from the body! Some tendrils made their way for me while others had to dodge or deflect the tendril going for them. Some of them end up crashing into walls, or are evaded.

Nintega (Shark): HOLY SHIIIIT!!! WHAT ATTACK WAS THAT!?

Kitty (Mermaid): Apparently an AOE attack! If he launches that again, it could hit one of us next time!!!

Yelling could be heard as we all looked to see Ursula as she wasn't as lucky to have evaded the attack. She was impaled with three tendrils.

Ursula: G-GET IT OUT OF ME!!!

Sora (Dolphin): Whoa...

Riku (Dolphin): Brutal...

Goofy (Turtle): Ouch...

As Ursula tried to struggle in getting herself free with her one arm, she began to cough as the Creature looked at Ursula as if more focused on her now with being trapped. Grabbing the tendrils it had buried deep into Ursula, it began to pull as Ursula was beginning to gasp.

Ursula: I-It's doing something!! S-Stop it!! S-Stop it before...! B-BEFORE...!!!

Ursula didn't even get a chance to finish what she would have said... Because at that moment... Her heart got ripped out of her chest as it was glowing brightly in the tendrils the creature had ripped out of her. Ursula tried to softly reach for her heart, but it was soon quickly brought in towards where the Creature was as it widened its mouth and consumed the heart right before us. As the heart is consumed, Ursula goes limp as she begins to disappear right in front of us.

Kitty (Mermaid): H-Her heart...

Sora (Dolphin): R-Ripped right out of her chest...

Riku (Dolphin): That would have been us if we weren't careful enough...

Donald (Octopus): Keep that lunatic away from me...!

Everyone glared at Donald with how insensitive he was, Ariel looking surprised as she asked.

Ariel: That is still your friend! Do you not care about him?!

Donald (Octopus): He is NOT my friend! All he is... Is the biggest pain ever!

As I heard Donald say that and looked at the Creature, all I could see was Jammy as I shed some tears at how his name was being defiled...

Kitty (Mermaid): Say one more word like that... And you won't have a tongue to say any more! You want to know who the pain is? YOU!

As I got angry at Donald, I felt something welling up inside as it was like something snapped inside me.

Kitty (Mermaid): YOU have been the one causing us nothing but trouble the entire time, when all we were doing was trying to help you!

As I kept getting angrier, I noticed the Creature looking at me as if growling in being threatened. I didn't care right now as I needed to speak my mind with how Jammy was unable to defend his actions.

Kitty (Mermaid): At least we can keep promises... Jammy has always been my greatest friend, and I'd be lost without him... I'd more than likely be that creature right now from being lost in darkness without him...!

As I kept getting angrier, I could see some of the others moving to get away as if they knew what was going to happen.

Kitty (Mermaid): So say one more word, and learn what pain means... Because if you do... If you DO...!

I balled up my hands into fists as I thought I was going to pass out. But when reaching my limit I began to yell out what I said.

Kitty (Mermaid): YOU'LL BE THE LAST THING I EVER SAVE! YOU STUPID, IGNORANT, LYING DUCK!!!!

As I said those words, the overload of emotions causes me to pass out with what happens right on the spot.

Nintega's point of view

As Kitty was getting really angry, she was glowing with light intensely as with how much she was generating, it wasn't going to end well for most of us if we look when she finally releases all her pent up anger. As we began to quickly find places to get cover, the Creature attempted to pounce at her, only to be sent flying into the wall as it was yelling out of torment and torture. I could barely see as Kitty was releasing the light inside of her as it was blinding to us, but harmful to Jammy considering his situation right now. the Creature was writhing in pain as it let out screams of pain from the pure light of a Princess. Kitty seemed to be lost and mindless at the time as she held her Keyblade to emit a release through Oathkeeper to create a blade of pure light. When swinging it down, it almost felt like she was Saber from Fate/StayNight as the Creature was yelling in pure agony from the concentration of power. The animalistic screams from the creature began to die out as it was Jammy's voice that could be heard as he was yelling in pain. When the light finally dies down, Jammy is forced out of that animalistic form as he soon collapses to the ground along with Kitty.

Donald (Octopus): Well at least that's FINALLY over!

I looked at Donald and smacked him upside the head at his comment.

Nintega (Shark): My friends just passed out after either being forced out of a Darkness state or releasing the power of light like that. And that's all you have to say when Kitty saved our lives??? Now I know why Jammy wants to murder you. You're nothing but an asshole.

Donald (Octopus): GIVE ME A BREAK! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BE SERIOUS THIS ENTIRE ADVENTURE!!

Nintega (Shark): Oh yeah? Says the duck who lied to my friends about helping them. That is NEVER going to go away. Trust is something Jammy and all of us value deeply. But considering Goofy still wants you safe, there isn't really much Jammy could do. If you really think about it, if Jammy REALLY would have killed you. Think of all the other times when he has fried, electrified, frozen and anything else to you. You're alive because if you were gone, others would mourn over you. Be grateful he hasn't even tried to do it for real.

Donald looked like he had something to say a few times, but just grumbled while turning around to cross his arms. I swam over to Kitty and Jammy to inspect their wounds. Kitty didn't have any due to it just being an overload of her power, but Jammy was deeply hurt due to fighting in that form...

Nintega (Shark): Maleficent... What did you do to him to make him like this???

Once we were done here, Ursula had already died due to the attack Jammy made. Not only did it kill her, but it caused a chain reaction to return the Mer-people back to normal. I believe Kitty would be happy to hear that, but Jammy... I saw him eat Ursula's heart in that monstrous state... I don't know what's going to happen... But I think we need to head back to Traverse Town and talk to Merlin or Leon... Or next time... It'll be one of us...

Chapter 12. End.
