Mermaids: Tales of Arcadia

Pearl and Crystal enter the courtyard ready for training

Pearl: whoa! This place is huge!

Crystal: this is where all merpeople train to become warriors and where you'll train to become one

Pearl: awesome, let's get started!

Crystal: now try and make a weapon made of ice like you did before

Pearl: okay

Pearl strains until her necklace glows makes an ice spear

Pearl: is this okay?

Crystal: perfect, now try and attack me

Pearl: are you sure?

Crystal: yes, I'm sure

Pearl: all right

Pearl tries to attack Crystal but she grabs the Spear easily and pokes Pearl with the other side

Pearl:Oww!

Crystal breaks the spear

Pearl: how did you do that?

Crystal: I'm as surprised as you. How come you almost defeated My mother but struggling against me?

Pearl: I don't know, I guess I was so Angry that my powers were stronger

Crystal: hmm your mother did say that her strong emotions made her necklace powers stronger

Pearl: so I need to get angry?

Crystal: not exactly, your mom's powers were tied to her emotions so if she ever felt happy or angry something would always happen

Pearl: so the stronger the emotion the stronger the power?

Crystal: exactly!

Pearl: well, I think I can manage that. Does Excitement count as an emotion?

Crystal: I guess so

Pearl: well I'm really excited to learn to be a warrior, I'm excited to learn that I'm a Mermaid and I'm excited to learn that I'm a princess!

Pearl's necklace glows and as she's listing the things she's excited about her voice becomes increasingly high-pitched creating a sonic boom blasting Crystal away

Crystal: Oww!

Pearl: Oh My Gosh! Aunt Crystal, are you okay?!

Crystal: yeah, your mom's done that attack on me hundreds of times when we were kids

Pearl: I'm glad that you're okay but did you see that?! I can create sonic blasts! What else can I do?!

Crystal: well let's see...

Before Crystal can answer Pearl an eel monster is attacking the City

Pearl: what is that thing?!

Crystal: looks like one of The Vortex Queen's monsters!

Pearl: I already took down one, how hard can this one be?

The monster shoots a bolt of lightning at the palace destroying it

Pearl: okay, maybe a bit hard

Crystal: don't worry Pearl, the Royal guards have it all under control

The guards All try to stab the monster but as soon as their spears touch the monster they all get shocked and fall to the seafloor

Pearl: under control?

Crystal: okay I might have underestimated this monster, wait where's your friend Lilly

Pearl: last time I saw her She said she wanted to stay In the palace with Grandma

Pearl and Crystal stand still for a moment before realising something

Pearl: (gasps) LILLY!

Crystal: (gasps) MOTHER!

they both swim to the palace to check on Lilly and Azura but the monster blast a bolt of lightning at Pearl but Crystal pushed her out of the way

Pearl: Aunt Crystal, are you all right?!

Crystal: (coughs) I'm paralyzed... but I should... be... okay...

Crystal goes unconscious

Pearl: Aunt Crystal?! Aunt Crystal wake up! Aunt Crystal!

Pearl looks up to see the monster charging another Lighting bolt

Pearl: you! I'm gonna make you regret doing that!

Pearl's necklace glows before the monster blasts her with a lighting bolt but Pearl blocks it by making a whirlpool redirecting it back to the monster

Pearl: hey freak, get ready 'cause I'm gonna take you down

Pearl makes another whirlpool causing the Eel spin around and throwing it on the ground multiple times before throwing In the nearest underwater Volcano

Pearl: (pants) that should do it

Crystal: well done, Pearl

Pearl: you're okay?

Crystal: yes, I new that you could defeat that monster, you just needed the right incentive so I pretended to be paralyzed and be unconscious

Pearl: but what if I failed?

Crystal: you couldn't because I believed in you

Pearl: thanks, Aunt Crystal. Wait, shouldn't we check on Lilly and Grandma?!

Crystal: you're right

They both dig through the rumble of the palace but can't find Lilly or Azura

Pearl: where are they?

Crystal: I don't know, I think they're...

Azura: right behind you?

Pearl and Crystal look behind themselves to see Lilly and Azura and hug them

Crystal: mother! How did you get out?

Azura: well I saw the monster and just before the lighting bolt struck I was able to swim away with the human using my superspeed

Pearl: wait, Mermaids have superspeed?

Azura: you have much to learn

Lilly: anyway, Girl, I saw you fighting that monster, you were awesome

Pearl: thanks, but we gotta go, we have school In the morning

Lilly: oh right

Pearl: Bye Grandma. Bye Aunt Crystal

Crystal: bye

Meanwhile at The Vortex Queen's lair

Vortex Queen: another one of my monsters bites the dust, it's clear that Pearl is a capable warrior... maybe it's time we met face to face
