Meanwhile at the infirmary, Merlin and Vivien were on the edge of their seats when they witnessed their child approaching the corrupted Azul.

"Sundrop better bring him back." Merlin mutters while watching the crystal ball intently.

"She will Merlin, I promise you." She reassures before smirking.

"And who knows. As I predicted, Moonchild and Octopus King will soon become your favorite ship and there will be so much more ships to sail." Vivien assures.

"Heh. Fate does know when to amuse me huh?" Merlin remarks with a smirk underneath his bushy mustache.

"Aaah but that's what makes it entertaining Merlin." She reassures.

"Indeed it is, Vivien. Shall we continue to see how it unfolds? Cuz I have a feeling that I know what's going to happen~. Oh oh oh." He chuckles slyly with the biggest grin and she giggles.

"Gladly." Vivien replies with smile as both of them turn their heads back to the crystal ball.
————————

Back at the Octavinelle dorm, Glory saunters you Azul where he is busy terrorizing this students as he absorbs all the magic from the frightened students. As she marches towards the octopus, Glory takes a deep breath and shouts at him.

"AZUL!!!"

Soon Azul stops and glance down to see Glory glaring at him.

"Don't hurt them please. If you do, then I'll be your queen." Glory suggests.

"Eeh!?" Grim shrieks, but Deuce smacks his mouth frowning at him.

"Sssh! Quiet Grim!" Deuce scolds trying to shut him up so he won't blow her cover.

As expected, Azul crept a smirk and swam down to the ravenette.

"You mean it? You really want me to be your king?" Azul ask with a big amused grin on his face as Glory nods with a small grin.

"Of course. I'll always love my handsome, sweet, and generous octopus." Glory reassures with a sweet smile. Moved by her sweet words, Azul smiled with joy and pulls her into a tight embrace.

"Aaaah Glofish~. I knew you would return my feelings sooner or later. You're the only woman who would understand me." Azul assures nuzzling his head against her shoulders as Glory wraps her arms around him with her left hand stroking his white hair. Then she lifts his chin as Glory crept her right hand gently stroking his right cheek with her thumb.

"Azul...forgive me for doing this." Glory reassures him.

"Eeh?" He became puzzled as she inhales and exhale out when she began to chant the hurt incantation.

"Moonstone, dark, and cold...."

She sang as her right hand glows blue shocking the octopus.

"Let your power flow...
Grasp the moral reins
And set the spirit free~"

Glory marvels as he winces in pain and slowly kneels down to the sand with Leona and Ruggie, who are watching her from afar, widen their eyes in shock except for the twins, Jack, Ace, Grim, and Deuce to see her Moonstone power.

"Leona is that-?" Ruggie utters.

"Yeah...That's the moonstone...." Leona told him as the lion squints his brows at the eerie scene.

"Hell this is the first time I ever seen one and she's using it to weaken him." Leona informs.

"Agreed. This is a tough decision, but she has her reason." Jade infers as he gazes at Glory with serious eyes.

"...She's bringing Azul back to the light." Jade reassures and both Deuce and Jack nod.

"Just like she did with Leona-senpai." Jack points out referring to the incident back at the stadium.

"And to Riddle." Deuce says as he remembers he and Ace seeing his dorm head overblot at the Unbirthday party.

"Lionfish..." Floyd mutters with his eyes widen to see her weakening Azul with her hurt incantation as dark pulses crept over to the octopus causing him to wince with pain.

"Take what has been hurt...
Keep the fates design...
Bend and break the chains
And set the spirit free
The spirit free~"

Glory harmonizes the last chorus as she gently restrains Azul with her power where the octopus kneels down weakening him. Now vulnerable, lowers his head clenching his teeth.

"Why does everyone bully me! Because I'm a stupid, clumsy octopus?" He rants as tears starts to fall from his eyes with the tears dropping to his hands.

"..I just wanted to be strong and show them they're wrong!! I...I just..." He mutters while silently bawling his eyes out. With her heart quake with sympathy and a reminder of how she went through the pain at the hands of her bullies when she was little, Glory felt bad for placing him under her hurt incantation power, but she knows what she had to do as Glory remembered the reassurance from her friends, from Vivien, from her mentor, and most importantly, Malleus.

Whatever the power that you possessed is yours to control. You can do anything with it as you take step by step on controlling it. So struggle with all your might and prove you can protect your dorm.

Reminiscing on Malleus's reassurance, Glory clenched her fists and kneeled down to Azul's level when she gently lifts his chin with his teary blue eyes lock to Glory's grey eyes filled with empathy.

"You poor beautiful soul..." She mutters as Glory wipes the tears from his eyes with her thumbs with Azul widen his eyes to hear her saying such genuine and sweet words to him. He's been shunned and humiliated as a small octopi by other merfolk children for his entire life until a human girl like Gloriane Corbett shows no fear nor disgust from his octopus form. She wasn't wrong when she said she'll love them for who they are when Glory shows gentleness, kindness, love, and acceptance through her actions and her eyes gleam with genuine empathy.

"You are not stupid, nor you're clumsy. I'm not a bully because I know what it's like to be treated differently. It's quite draining..." She said reminiscing her childhood trauma when kids picked on her for her poor performance after the talent show while caressing his cheeks.

"You don't deserve this kind of treatment. You've may endure a lot of pain throughout your life, but..." Glory then crept a warm smile at him.

"You not alone in this cruel world. I will not let you drown into your inner demons because I'll be there to pull you back to the surface where the light will shine into your world." Glory reassures as she pulls him into a kiss shocking Azul as his face turns beet red in complete one eighty and this also shocks the twins as they are left speechless to see Glory pulling a bold move on their head dorm before Floyd lets out a snicker since it's Azul's first kiss.

"Shishishi. I wonder what this reminds of?~" Ruggie snickers staring at Leona with a cheeky smirk causing him to turn away from him with a blush crept from his cheeks.

"Shut up Ruggie." He retorts.

"This is just like when she kissed Leona..." Jack mutters.

"And like Riddle." Grim chimes making Ace and Deuce grimace from the memories.

"D-Don't remind us that...!" Ace stutters.

"Please!" Deuce agrees while cringing at the memories of Glory kiss Riddle.

———————
Meanwhile at the infirmary, Merlin is on his feet dancing like a bumbling idiot wearing sunglasses as the song "Kiss the girl" is played throughout the room while he floats around on his cloud.

"Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh my
Looks like the boy's so shock
Cuz he got his FIRST KISS STOLEN!"

Merlin sand causing Vivien who is sat right beside him sweatdropping at his antics.

"Is this really the time to do this, Merlin?" She ask with an irked look, but Merlin turns around and points his staff at her.

"Let me live my life woman! I'm shipping my third ship so hard right now!!" He sasses as he goes back to his dance while singing to the song from the stereo causing Vivien to sigh and pinch her temple as she shakes her head at her tiny wizard friend.

"Typical Merlin..." She mutters as Vivien turns back to the crystal ball to see Moonchild departing her lips from Azul's as the brunette lake goddess crept a smile.

"Well done my child. Only thing left to do." She reassures as she watches the scene unfolds right in front of her.
—————————

As soon as she departs her lips from Azul's, Glory takes a deep breath and exhale out before looking straight into his blue eyes.

"Flower, gleam, and glow...."

Soon her left hand glows yellow causing Azul to notice her left hand glowing.

"Let your power shine....
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine~"

Glory sang beautifully as light slowly engulfs his entire body. This causes Jade and Floyd to look back when she healed Jade at the infirmary two days ago. Soon they both glance each other before they crept a smile and turn their heads back to Glory.

"Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates design
Save what has been lost...
Bring back what once was mine...."

She marvels as the black substance emits from his eyes and mouth before finishing off with the final chorus.

"What once was mine~"

Glory harmonizes the last chorus as the light fades away where she glance up at the dark cloud as her eyes glow yellow where everything turns white.

"Mmm..." She mumbles as she opens her eyes until she hears Azul's voice.

"I was only ever meant to be inside an octopus pot." He said as a vision reappear in front of her eyes where she saw a young chubby Azul as an octopus surrounded by the two merfolk children.

"Wow, look it's Azullulu, the ink barrffer!" He taunts.

"Hurry, get away. He's got all those creepy legs!" The other kid sneers.

"Kn-Knock it off...Wh-Why would you say that..." Azul cried causing Glory's heart to shatter to see him getting bullied by the two merchildren as this reminds her when she was bullied as a child.

"Hey it's "Glory The Screech"!"

"The Girl That Shrieks Over A Spider!"

"Eeek! I'm Glory, and I'm afraid of spiders like big fat baby!"

"Spider Cower", "Spider Cower", "Spider Cower", does whatever a Spider Cower does. Can she sing from the stage? No she can't, she's a cower! Look out, she's a Spider Cower!"

As she reminisces back from her trauma, Glory's heart goes to the child Azul as she feels his pain since she was a victim of bullying herself, but also couldn't stand hearing those two kids spewing insults at the poor octopus.

"Swim away! We're gonna get inked~~" The kid mocks.

"Gyahahahaha! He's never gonna catch us!" The other kid insults leaving Azul standing there alone silently crying from their hurtful words. Glory feels nothing but sympathy for the poor octopus aware of his current behavior.

It's no surprise on why Azul acts the way he is, bullying messes you up in the head to the point where you don't trust someone. I get it Azul, and I don't blame you.....

Glory thought while empathizing Azul.

"Unlike other merfolk, I had legs covered in suction cups. I was an introverted child who could never speak their mind. No good at school or sports, I was left all alone. A dumb, clumsy octopus." Azul states as another vision reappears.

"That guy barfs ink when he cries and pollutes the water wherever he goes." The same kid from before whispers.

"And he's out in no time during tag, it's so lame." The other kid points out causing her to glare at the obnoxious kids.

"He may not be good at sports, but you don't have the right to throw shade at him just because he's different." Glory spat feeling her blood boiling from her veins until he heard Azul's voice once again.

"Ohh, really? Then why don't you just leave me be and go run around playing your pointless games!" He rants.

"I lack the tail to swim quickly. But instead, I have 10 arms and legs I can move at will. That means I have five times the ability to write tomes than those two armed fools." He informs.

"I can even spit out ink needed to write spells at any time." He points out his skills.

"Just you wait. Someday I'll put you insolent merfolks in your damn place!" Azul vows with an angry tone making her empathize him even more.

So that explains the contracts....

Glory thought understanding him completely. Then the next vision cuts in when two eels stand before Azul.

"Jade and Floyd!" Glory gasps as she sees them as kids.

"Hey, little octo, why are you holed up in there?" Floyd ask curiously.

"Shut up. Leave me alone." He spat. Then the child version of Jade swam around to gaze at the shells covered in ink.

"Amazing. All those shells are covered in spells and curses. Magic to shapeshift, magic to steal someone's voice..." Jade mutters with his heterchromia eyes gleam with fascination and turns to Azul.

"Have you been using those right legs to write all these this whole time?" Jade ask as he was about to reach down to grab the shell, but Azul grabs it with his tentacle.

"Don't touch them! You wanna get inked? I'm gonna keep studying and become just as powerful and the Sea Witch! So don't get in my way! Just go away!!" Azul bellows.

"Jade, that octopus is pretty funny." Floyd comments with a grin.

"Yes, Floyd, he is very interesting." Jade agrees grinning as well.

So that's how they met...

Glory thought before grinning.

"They look pretty cute as children." Glory compliments letting out a giggle, but soon she heard his voice again.

"I kept studying like that until several years later..." He said as the next vision reappears when Azul and the Leech twins are in Junior high school.

"I heard that a kid in another class got super skinny and even got a girlfriend." Floyd said.

"In exchange, his beautiful tenor has gone completely silent." Jade said.

"You don't say." Azul sarcastically snarks.

"In another class, someone with frizzy, unruly hair suddenly became a silky, blonde." Jade points out.

"In exchange, they lost their tail that swam so fast." Floyd informs.

"Hmmm, I see." Azul said sounding unsurprised by the info that the twins are sharing.

"And, Azul, isn't this all your doing?" Jade ask curiously.

"...Mine? Why?" Azul ask acting innocent.

"I can't imagine any of those airheaded fish being able to pull off such impressive spells." Jade remarks.

"You've been studying magic for so long." Floyd reminds causing Azul to let out a snicker and burst out of laughter.

"Is that so? I can't believe I've been found out already." Azul chuckles.

"We were right?" Floyd ask giddily.

"Yes, you are, I finally perfected it. All I need is for someone to sign this magic contract then I can take whatever ability I want from them..." Azul then shows a contract to the twins with a smirk.

"I call it, 'It's a Deal'! With this, I can make them all kneel before me. Everything you've ever taken pride it, is now mine!!" Azul exclaims as he burst a maniacal laugh. Soon the vision vanished leaving Glory speechless yet pity him.

"I get the feeling...you want to prove them that you're capable of doing things yet...doing illegal things isn't the best way to prove your point..." Glory mutters.

"I haven't forgotten what happened for even a moment. Those who made fun of me. The faces of those who bullied me. I bid my time, observing them from a distance. Their weaknesses, their failings...I know it all!" He boasts.

"Press on their weak points and I can take their fast tail. If I know what's bothering them, I can take their beautiful singing voice. With this golden contract, I am unbeatable!" Azul proclaims.

"I am no longer the dumb, clumsy octopus left all alone. Everything is under my control with this power. All those who ever made fun of me, will now kneel before me." He affirms leaving Glory silently as she understands his motives and sympathizes him.

"Azul....you don't need to feel like you're alone. Cuz I'm here now." She mutters as she clench her hands together closing her eyes with a empathetic smile as everything went dark once more as she reverts back to reality.
