The Pirate and The Merhog

Two Kings Become Friends

Meanwhile with Arthur and Isabella...

"Arthur, how does it feel to be able to enjoy your time outside of work?" Isabella asked Arthur. "It feels rather nice. Not having to worry about what my next out of duty will involve and taking a load off for a while is refreshing." said Arthur. "There's more to life than always working. Even your king despite all of his responsibilities knows when to enjoy himself." Isabella said to Arthur. "I suppose you make a fair point, Isabella." Arthur said to Isabella. However what the Mongoose Couple didn't know is that they were being stalked by a male snake Mobian. He heard that Isabella was in town and was in the company of a high ranked military officer. Isabella's heart suddenly started racing when she soon that hissing sound.

"Isabella, are you okay?" Arthur asked Isabella. "H-he's here..." Isabella said with a terrified look on her face. "Who's here? Were you expecting to see a old friend or acquaintance?" Arthur asked Isabella. "It's my stalker...who attempted to rape me..." Isabella told Arthur. "You mean Asmodeus? That snake fella you talked about before who gives you the creeps?" Arthur asked Isabella. "Sadly yes...he actually attempted to rape me one time when I last encountered him..." Isabella told Arthur as tears were coming out of her eyes. "You don't need to worry. If he tries anything on you or on anyone here, he'll be dealt with. But I highly doubt that he'll anything with two royal families with elemental abilities close by. It would be suicide as my king has no mercy such those guilty of such heinous acts." Arthur told Isabella. "Thank you, Arthur..." Isabella said to Arthur as she hugged him tightly.

Everyone in town were enjoying the events and all of the fireworks. Many children came and greeted the royal families. Aleena happily welcomed and greeted all of the young ones. Arthur was surrounded by the young boys were saw that he was a seasoned fighter and soldier. "Arthur, how are you doing over there?" Aleena asked Arthur. "Isabella and I are doing great and enjoying our time here. The festival is surprisingly enjoyable." Arthur said to Aleena. A little girl then came and put a flower crown on Aleena's head. "This is a gift I made for you. Also, you're really pretty." The little girl said to the princess with a smile on her face. "Thank you, it's beautiful." Aleena thanked the girl with smile on her face.

Leonardo had a large group of boys around him. They were asking if he could show them some tricks with his trident. Leonardo was very tempted to tell them that his trident was a representation of his kingship and ruling authority and not for amusement park light shows and tricks. "I'm sure a few demonstrations of your power to me and my people wouldn't hurt much. Please, show us a demonstration or two of your power. It would honor us if we show them the combined demonstration of our respective powers." King Pyro said to King Leonardo. "I suppose a few demonstrations won't hurt." King Leonardo said to King Pyro. "It'll be a great opportunity to show our people that not only we can co-exist, but all that not all surfacers are to be feared by your people and that we wish them all well." said King Pyro. "I'm sure that would be an amazing thing for both of our people." King Leonardo said to King Pyro.

Pyro led Leonardo to the center of the festival where everyone started gathering around them. Flama, Aleena, Jules, Arthur and Isabella were upfront as V.I.P to see what the two kings had in store for everyone. "What are they going to do?" Jules asked Aleena. "I don't know." Aleena said to Jules. "We're about to find out what my husband and your father have in store for all of us, Aleena." Queen Flama said to Princess Aleena. Pyro and Leonardo stood a distance away from each other while facing each other.

He release his trident and allowed it to float next to him. With his hands freed, he looked to a nearby water fountain and summoned a large body of water from it and pulled it over to him. "What do you think your dad is going to do with that large body of water?" Jules asked Aleena. "We're about to find out." Aleena said to Jules. Leonardo then divided the body of water into 15 merhog soldiers and turned them into ice statues. The statues moved into position as an armed fleet with swords and shields. "I didn't know my father could do that!!" Aleena cried in complete shock. "Oh...I can do more than this." said Leonardo. "Huh?" Aleena said with a confused look on her face.

Leonardo used the rest of the water to create a foggy mist around the ice merhog soldiers, concealing them from sight. Pyro and Flama were intrigued by the sea king's display of powers. Arthur was speechless as he, like Aleena, had never seen Leonardo perform those acts before. "I'm speechless..." said Arthur. "Splendid job, Leo." Queen Flama said to King Leonardo. "Thank you, now that I've done my part, it's now your husband's turn to do his part next." King Leonardo said to Queen Flama. "Very well, then." Pyro said to Leonardo.

Pyro summoned and formed a large ball of fire before shaping it into a fiery phoenix. The firebird gave out a loud shriek as it fly into front of the mist covering and concealing the ice soldiers from sight. "What do you think is going to happen, Queen Flama?" Aleena asked Queen Flama. "Keep watching and you'll find out." Queen Flama said to Princess Aleena. The ice soldiers gave a warrior battle cry before the mist vanished and they lunged at the phoenix. The phoenix rushed forward and burst into five smaller fire birds to meet the warrior ice statues in combat. It was an artistic battle display of ice and fire. The townspeople including Jules, Aleena, Arthur and Isabella were in awe looking at the artistic battle display of fire and ice.

The two kings were like two elemental puppeteers putting on a show for everyone. This was a surprise for everyone as this was entirely unplanned and unexpected. The battle was fierce and suspenseful, but both kings were clearly enjoying the challenge. The townspeople were in awe looking at the artistic battle display of fire and ice. "I've never seen anything this amazing from my father or from a king from a different kingdom before!" cried Aleena. "Same here, Aleena! I wonder if Charles is around to see this!" Jules said to Aleena. "Also I hope he didn't eat all of the crustaceans." said Jules.
