As we were walking deeper and deeper into the temple, we were stopped by a waterfall door. "Oh wow."

"Now what?" Raph asked.

"We can't just go through it?" Mikey asked.

"But me plus water equals stone." Rachel said.

I looked over at Umiko who was waddling up to the waterfall door, then she started singing. "Oh my." I was surprised.

"Umiko's singing!" Mikey smiled.

"She takes after you Aqua." Casey smirked.

"I'll say." Raph agreed.

I also heard other voices singing with her. "Oh my. That's really surprising." I said and looked down to see that the necklace Rachel gave me was glowing. "Sis look!"

"It's the People of the Water singing along with her!" Rachel smiled.

"Awesome!" Aika exclaimed.

Just then, the waterfall door was opening in the middle for us. We were amazed.

"Wow." I wagged my tail in excitement.

"Mana mana!" Umiko pointed the way.

"Way to go Umiko." I clapped for her and stroked her head.

"Let's keep moving. And be super alert." Leo said as he went in after Umiko.

I nodded and went after them. As we walked further down, we were stopped by a big door with a symbol. "Huh, this looks super familiar." I said as I held out my necklace and it was showing a small glowing circle pattern.

"I'll help." Rachel said as she examined the book. "Make sure the big circle and little circle are aligned."

"Okay sis." I said as I aligned the little and big circles together. After I did it, they glowed and the giant doors opened very slowly. As I peeked inside, I gasped at the most beautiful treasure ever. "Oh my..."

"Wow, is that it?" Mikey gasped.

"Yes it is! The sea crown!" Rachel smiled as she took pictures.

"Whoa... it's so beautiful." April said.

"Mama! Mama!" Umiko pointed to the aqua blue sparkling crystals.

"They're very sparkly and beautiful my dear." I smiled as I walked closer to it and saw a giant water drop levitating on top of the crown.

"Mama!" Umiko jumped up and into the water drop, swimming around it freely.

I giggled and took a video of her there. "This is wonderful, we made it to the sea crown and now we know that it's safe." I smiled as I stopped recording.

"I wouldn't count on it." an ominous voice spoke up.

I turned around and gasped. "Guys!" I saw my friends and Leo all tied up with their weapons dropped on the floor. It was the Shredder and his goonies!

"Babe!" Leo shouted.

"Step away from the sea crown. It shall be mine." the Shredder said as he stepped closer to me.

I growled and took out my katana. "Never. I won't let you take it all for yourself."

"Ha! Think you can stop me weakling? You took my egg and now I can take the lives of your loved ones."

"You better leave my family alone."

"Or else what? Risk seeing your beautiful ones hurt?" he smirked.

"Mama!" Umiko was crying out.

I turned around and gasped as I saw FishFace gripping onto my daughter in a chokehold with a knife at her. I gasped in horror. "Umiko!"

"Mama!" she was crying as she was scared.

"Time is ticking mermaid." FishFace smirked as he brought the knife closer to Umiko.

I growled and looked back at the Shredder. "You better not hurt my daughter, free her and my family. Now!"

"Very well. Xever, release the water kin. Bradford, untie them." he ordered them.

"Yes Master." they both said.

"Here mermaid. Catch." FishFace threw Umiko out of the water drop and she landed on the ground.

"My baby!" I ran to her and picked her up as she was crying. "It's okay my baby. It's okay. Don't cry." I rubbed her back.

"Now leave so we can take it." Shredder said.

I looked at Rachel as she was untied and flew up. I smirked and yelled out, "NOW!"

Rachel took out a huge net and trapped the goonies. Donnie tied them up really good as April used her psychic powers to knock them unconscious.

"What?! Impossible!" Shredder glared and looked back at the crystals at the alter and he took one out.

After he took it out, the temple started to rumble and then the room we were in was starting to flood.

"Oh no! What did he do?!" Mikey panicked.

"He took out one of the crystals! If the wrong hands touches it, this temple will be flooded and lost forever!" Rachel panicked too. "We have to stop him!"

"No Rachel, it's too risky!" Donnie said. "We better get out of here."

"As much as I hate to say this, but you're right." Casey got angry. "Let's get out of here."

As we were leaving the treasure room, I was looking back at the Shredder and his goonies taking all the crystals from the sea crown. I felt truly defeated that I gave in to save my family. "I'm so sorry guys. I failed you."

"You didn't fail us. You did it to save us from danger." Rachel said.

"She's right sis." Donnie was holding hands with her as he was blushing his face out.

As we made it to the sub, everyone climbed inside. But I looked back at Umiko who was looking back. "What's wrong my daughter?"

"Mama." she pointed back to the temple.

I knew what she was trying to tell me and I looked back at the others. "Babe, get the guys out of here now." I said to him.

"But what about you?" he asked me.

"Umiko and I will stay here and save Samiya."

"Wait, what? No. No way. Get in the sub now babe."

"And I said no."

"Why do you need to stay here? You know the red moon eclipse could affect your mermaid form."

"I know babe, but we have to save this place. This is Umiko's original home. And if we don't do anything to save it, this place will be lost forever." I said my statement to him.

He took in a deep sigh and then he placed his hands directly on my shoulders. "Don't think you're doing this without me." he smiled.

I wagged my tail. "Together forever?"

"Together forever."

"Let's do this Blue Eyes."

"Pleasure's all mine Angel Eyes."

"Guys get in!" Mikey said.

"Mikey, you're in charge. We'll be right back!" Leo said as he ran with me and Umiko swimming right beside us.

"No wait!" he said as the sea was getting rough and he closed the hatch so the sun can dive and leave.

As we heard them leave, we were on our way back inside of the temple to save it. Umiko, Leo, and I will retrieve the crystals and save the temple of the sea.
