Chapter 11
"Manny, you've got to get away from here." Frida said swimming toward him when she reached the surface.
"No way!" Manny said holding her close to him.
"But you don't understand. She's dangerous, she could kill you!"
"I don't care! I'm not leaving you!"
The sea's currents became stronger, thunder and lightning filled the air, and whirlpools were formed. Sartana rose up and using the trident's power, was able to walk or slither on the water. Manny and Frida held each other protectively as she caused the biggest sea storm in history. Corpses that were buried beneath the ocean floor began to rise and bowed before their wicked ruler.
"I did this!" Frida said. "It's my fault! Now have to fix it."
She broke away from Manny and began to swim toward the sea witch.
"Frida, what are you doing?" Manny said.
"I have to stop her! If I don't we're all doomed!"
"You can't stop her! Not by yourself!"
"I have to try!"
"I'm coming with you!"
"No you're not! Get out of here! Forget about me and save yourself!"
She dove into the water and swam off before he could stop her. But Manny determined not to lose the woman he loved again no matter what, grabbed on to a nearby abandoned ship and followed Frida. Meanwhile Frida snuck up behind Sartana and grabbed to trident, the two engaged in a tug of war with it.
"Let go! You little pest!" She ordered. "Or I'll kill you!"
"Never!" Frida retorted.
"My look who's being a big girl now! You think you can stop me?! Ha! You're as foolish as your father!"
She threw Frida down one of the whirlpools and aimed her trident at her.
"No where to swim, no where to hide, and no Daddy to save you this time Princess!"
She began blasting at her, Frida dodged the blasts best she could while searching for a way to escape. But the currents kept her still in that spot. Soon she could dodge the blasts no more. Manny steered the ship toward the sea witch hoping that he would be able to stop her.
"I've got just one shot! I can't miss! I just can't!" He said making an aim.
Frida was cornered, Sartana raised the trident for one final blow that would surely end the mermaid's life.
"So much for true love!" Sartana laughed.
Frida looked away in fear, Manny drove the sharp edge into Sartana piercing her right in the heart. She screeched as her body exploded and turned to ash, Manny jumped off the ship and Frida swam to carry him safely on to a nearby rock.
"Are you alright?" Manny panted.
"Yes, thank you." Frida said hugging him.
"What happens now?"
"You need to go back."
"Are you coming?"
"No. I belong in the sea you belong on land we can never be together."
"But I...I love you."
"I love you too and that's why it's so sad."
She kissed him on the lips, he kissed back. Then she dove into the sea while he swam back toward the shore. With Sartana dead all of the souls she had taken were returned, reviving all the skeletons including Emiliano who reclaimed his trident and his place as king.
"Daddy!" Frida cried swimming into his arms. "Oh Daddy! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for any of this to happen I just-"
"I know." He said softly. "It's alright, I'm sorry too. I'm just glad you're safe." She kissed him on the cheek. "Now let's go home."
"Wait! Can I have a few minutes?"
"Sure."
She swam toward the surface and sat on a rock watching Manny on the beach. Her eyes were sad and her heart was once again broken. Emiliano looked at his daughter with conflict.
"She does love him, doesn't she?" He asked Jorge.
"Yes she does." The crab said. "And I think he loves her even more."
"And she's not a child anymore."
"No sir, she's a grown woman."
"It's time for me to let her go isn't it?"
"Well sire it's entirely up to you."she
"Then I guess there's only one problem left. How much I'm going to miss her."
He pointed his trident at the sea sending a beam of magic toward his daughter turning her tail back into legs permanently. Frida then swam to the shore and walked to Manny wearing a blue dress. Manny took Frida in his arms and spun her around happily, they kissed again thrilled that they could finally be together.
The next day a wedding was held and everyone both land and sea were invited. Frida wore a white wedding dress with a tiara and Manny wore a royal suit. Zebra Donkey licked the bride and groom happy that his master had chosen the right girl. Rodolfo and Maria smiled proudly at the couple as did Emiliano, Anita, and Nikita. Though it was hard for them to see their younger daughter/sister go, they were glad she was happy.
"I'm going to miss you so much Hija." Emiliano said.
"I'm going to miss you too." Frida said blowing her father a kiss.
"Take care of yourself little sister." Anita and Nikita said.
Chapi carried Davi and Jorge over to Frida who kissed her little friends goodbye. Emiliano then made a rainbow with his trident wishing them happiness for their marriage and the new husband and wife waved goodbye to their families and subjects as they sailed off for their new home where they would live happily ever after.
