Defeating Ursula

The trio soon found Ariel who still had some tears on her face when Sora asks, "Are you alright?"

"Yes, just give me a moment," says Ariel as she uses her hands to remove her tears.

"That was quite a heated conversation," says Sora as Ariel nods.

"But he needs to learn that I am not a little girl any longer," says Ariel as the trio smiled at her because of what the couple pulled on her father.

"I am sure he will understand it sooner or later," says Donald as Ariel had her doubts about that.

"When were you going to tell me that you aren't from this world?" asks Ariel as the trio now knew that Ariel met with the Sea-Witch that the other three were talking about.

"We were going to tell you before we departed for the next world. We are something like the space police going by what a friend calls us sometimes," says Sora as Ariel sees the honesty in Sora's eyes.

"I believe you," says Ariel as she smiled at them.

"We should return to the Palast or my father will only get angrier," says Ariel as they leave for the Palace while someone was following them from the shadows.

"You seem to be quite as stubborn as your father if you want to," says Sora as Ariel smiles at him.

"Well, I have to inherit something from him, am I not right," says Ariel as they reached the Palast and find Triton on his throne being all-natural so they wouldn't tip-off that something was wrong.

"You are finally back. Did you come to your sense," says Triton as he left the Trident unguarded while swimming to his daughter.

Ariel only had her eyes on the Trident when suddenly Triton hugged her and whispers into her ears, "I am sorry about how I treated you. You are my daughter and I wanted that you don't get hurt by your adventurous nature."

"Daddy," says Ariel as she returned the hug when she suddenly realizes that she made a mistake.

She looked at the Trident which was now in the hands of Ursula as she pointed it directly at Triton and her and a beam of golden light shot towards them.

She closed her eyes as she thought everything was over while whispering, "I am sorry, Daddy."

"Don't be," says Triton as the beam got stopped before it hit them.

"What!? How is that possible!?" shouts Ursula as she witnessed an impossible feat in her eyes.

John was between the attack and the father and daughter duo as he yawns at her while saying, "That tickled me."

"Tickled!? It should have evaporated you," says Ursula as suddenly Nesiara popped out from behind her and pulled the Trident from her hands.

"Well, the show is over it seems," says Nesiara holding the Trident now when Ursula tried to flee the scene only to be stopped by the trio.

"You are going nowhere," says Donald holding his staff as Ariel joins them.

"He is right," says Ariel as she now knew that Ursula tried to play her when she attacked her and her father.

"We both had a deal, Mermaid," says Ursula when Sora interrupted her.

"And you broke it," says Sora as he was ready to fight Ursula.

Triton wanted to intervene and take care of it himself but John stopped him while saying, "It is their fight. Let them fight it out."

"I don't know how you can do that," says Triton as Nesiara smiles at him while handing over the Trident.

"Our children were trained from small in the art to defend themselves from potential dangers. They lack in the building relationships part but in the end, we didn't have to worry about that either as social skills can be learned faster by traveling in big groups," says Nesiara as she became sad.

"What is wrong?" asks Triton as John looked sad as well before telling him about Leon.

"I see," says Triton sad as the trio and Ariel were pushing Ursula and her two pets back from where they came.

The fight was over and John pushed Triton forward who then coughs for a bit before saying, "I can see that you can take care of yourself, Ariel."

"Daddy, I am relieved that nothing happened to you," says Ariel as she hugged her father warmly surprising Triton a bit but he petted her head.

"How about I show you what was locked behind that hole," says Triton as he scratched his cheek making Ariel kiss his cheek happily.

"Thank you, Daddy. But who are they?" asks Ariel as looked quite intensely at John who was bigger than her father by a bit while his muscles were more visible than the ones her father has.

"Now, hands-off of my husband," says Nesiara as she knew that glance in a woman's eyes.

"Husband?" says Ariel as she sees John nod at that.

"I am a married man," says John as he points at his ring finger that had a golden ring on.

"I didn't know," says Ariel as she looked at Nesiara and looks at her father.

"Is she my sister or why does she resemble Mommy a lot?" asks Ariel as Triton scratches his back.

"I will take that as a compliment but no I am not his daughter. I am an Otherworldler like Sora and the others," says Nesiara as they present themselves to Ariel and Flounder.

They then swam towards Ariel Treasury and Triton points his Trident on the crystal that he broke and it began to repair itself before placing it in the hole which then revealed the Keyhole.

Sora closed the Keyhole and Triton says, "I won't question you any longer. But you must understand that I won't be happy with every decision you will make in the future."

"I will, Daddy," says Ariel as she hugged her father again.

The trio was happy that the family wasn't fighting any longer when Ariel swims over to one of her treasures and hands it over to Sora while saying, "It once fell from the surface into the ocean. I picked it up and kept it as a treasure. I want you to have it for being such a good friend."

Sora accepted it not knowing what it was when it suddenly turned into a Blue Keyblade with a Crab at the side of the tip.

"Thank you, Ariel," says Sora as he swung the Crabclaw a bit before it disappeared.

"It seems we will continue with our journey," says John as the trio nods while they said their goodbyes to Ariel.

John and Nesiara gave Triton some advice on how to handle Ariel as they said their goodbyes as well. Once at the ship, they turned back into their original form and Ariel saw them as they normally look like.

They gave her one last wave with a promise to return and tell her about their adventure. They boarded the ship and went to their seats when the trio turned to the couple.

"What happened in Agrabah?" asks Sora as the other two were curious as well.

"A Dragon appeared and kidnapped Jasmine with the help of a young man that has long silver hair and bright blue eyes. The young man promised that nobody would be harmed if Jasmine went with them out of free will," says John as Sora was shocked.

"Riku did that?" asks Sora confused why he would do that.

"We don't know if it was your friend. It could be anyone going by that description even John's younger-self. He might not look like it but he once had platinum-blond hair and emerald-green eyes. So it could be a Crownguard that walks a dark path," says Nesiara not wanting Sora to worry about Riku at the moment.

"There she is true. We haven't seen him and going by the description it is too common to conclude that it was Riku," says John reassuring what Nesiara said a moment ago.

"We should concentrate on the next world," says Nesiara as Sora looked at the display and it showed them a world that was darker than the other worlds.

Sora touches the world and the ship began to fly in that direction while he was hoping that Nesiara and John were true about Riku not being involved in the incident of Agrabah.

In the meantime in Hollow Bastion, Jasmine was sleeping beside the other five Princesses of Pure Hearts.

"You have done well, boy. Now we only need to find the last Princess of Pure Heart. But I should grant you your reward," says Maleficent as her staff revealed Kairi's position.

"It seems she is being held inside the Giant Whale called Monstro. How about I sent you there," says Maleficent as she had an evil smile on her face.

"I will go right away," says Riku as he wanted to make sure that Kairi was alright.

Maleficent opened a dark passage for him while saying, "I need you in Neverland after you are done there."

"I will do my best," says Riku as he entered the dark passage not even knowing that he was changing.

In the meantime in Monstro, Leon was sitting beside the lifeless Kairi, holding her in his arms while saying, "Soon you will be back to being normal. Just hold on for a little while longer until Sora finds you."

He knew that Kairi wouldn't answer him as her Heart wasn't here but she could still hear him. He was carrying Kairi to a more secure place as he arrived at Geppetto's shipwreck.

"Did you also got eaten by Monstro?" asks Geppetto as Leon nods.

"Yes, I and my daughter got caught by the beast. Can I leave her with you while I search for a way to leave this place?" asks Leon as Geppetto nods.

"She must be quite sleepy," says Geppetto seeing Kairi sleeping in Leon's arms.

"She is, it was quite the journey she has behind her," says Leon as he places her on the bed Geppetto offered them.

"Will you enter the belly of the beast?" asks Geppetto as Leon nods.

"Yes, I need to find a way to leave this place," says Leon lying about it as he entered the belly of the beast again.
