The Thingamajig and The Half-Genie hero

shantae turns into a mermaid?

As rayman and shantae entered the labyrinth, they discovered that the scenery of it was decorated with Crystals, and obviously water. They looked around it, searching for whatever thing that is of significant importance to their adventure. They see waterfalls and a locked door that Shantae was familiar with. Rayman noticed a pit full of water and figured out that is where to advance through the labyrinth as of now. Rayman says to Shantae. "That pit of water looks rather deep, do you have a transformation to swim under there in a short amount of time?" Shantae smiles and replies. "I just got the perfect transformation! Watch!" She starts to do her belly dance and she transforms into a mermaid. Rayman then says. "I thought you could only transform into animals, you never told me that you could also transform into mythical creatures." Mermaid Shantae scratched behind her head and sheepishly said. "Heh heh, I did. I forgot to mention I could turn into these kinds of creatures as well, but the harpy is a mythical creature and you didn't say anything there." Rayman scratch his head as well and replies. "Oh yeah, but in all fair, harpies are part animal and i'm used to strange animals in my world, so anything animal-like I just assume that they are a species of animal."

Shantae asks rayman. "Ok, I see. Now, how good are you at holding your breath?" Rayman replies. "Well, I suppose a fair amount of time. I guess I have to since my water form might not be able to submerge in water as the geysers would just make me go atop of the water." Shantae nods and replies. "Ok, because if we go in this water pit. I need you to hold onto me tight as i'm going to swim really fast. Is that ok with you?" Rayman moves his eyes around the area and back at Shantae and says. "Sure." With that, mermaid Shantae jumps into the water and plunged into the cool water and rises up and postitions herself so that Rayman could hold onto her, Rayman goes in as well and holds onto her waist and off they go!
