Jacob, Skylar, Seamus and Co. In: The Citadel

Marina's massive leap into the citadel

The shimmering vortex of the multiverse portal whirled again, this time glowing a gentle sea-blue as a figure emerged, stepping gracefully onto the soft, bouncy floors of the Amaranthine Citadel. It was **Marina**, the mermaid princess from *Zig and Sharko*. Her flowing pink hair cascaded down her back, and her tail glistened with an iridescent shimmer. Despite being out of water, she moved with poise and grace, her expression bright with curiosity as she took in the strange new surroundings."Wow, this place is so different!" Marina marveled, her large, expressive eyes wide with wonder. "There's so much to bounce on, and—what's that?" she gasped, pointing excitedly at the moonball racetrack and inflatable obstacle course.Jacob and Skylar, having just finished showing Gail the ropes, bounced over to greet her with warm smiles. "Marina! Welcome to the Amaranthine Citadel!" Jacob called out as he hopped toward her. "You're going to love it here. Everything's bouncy, and there's tons to explore!"Skylar, equally excited, grinned as she bounded next to Jacob. "And don't worry about being out of the water—we've got a massive aquarium that's perfect for someone like you. But first, wanna check out some of the bouncy fun?"Marina clasped her hands together, her excitement growing. "Oh, yes, I'd love to! I've never been in a place like this before!" She paused, giggling. "Usually I'm swimming or dealing with Zig and Sharko, but this looks like so much fun!"Seamus, always quick with a hearty laugh, hopped over, balancing on a giant bouncy ball. "Aye, Marina! There's no sharks or hyenas to worry about here. Just pure, bouncin' fun! Ye can try the trampoline park, the moonball racetrack, or even the giant bouncy ball room!"Marina's eyes sparkled at the mention of the trampoline park. "Ooh! I want to try that first! I've never bounced on a trampoline before. It sounds amazing!"Jacob and Skylar exchanged delighted glances. "Perfect choice!" Jacob said. "The trampoline park is huge—you'll be able to bounce as high as you want!"The group led Marina to the **Super Trampoline Park**, where the floors stretched out endlessly in a sea of colorful trampolines. It was a bouncer's paradise, with platforms, hoops, and even sky-high towers to leap from. Marina looked at the expansive area, her excitement barely contained."Ready to bounce, Marina?" Skylar asked with a playful grin.Marina nodded enthusiastically, her tail twitching in excitement. "Oh, absolutely! Let's see how high I can go!"With that, Marina leaped onto the nearest trampoline, her tail flipping gracefully in the air as she soared higher and higher with each bounce. She giggled in delight as she reached incredible heights, her mermaid instincts kicking in as she twirled and flipped in mid-air. The other multiverse visitors watched in awe, cheering her on as she performed stunning aerial moves.Jacob and Skylar bounced beside her, laughing as they joined in on the fun. "You're a natural, Marina!" Jacob called out, impressed by her agility."Look at her go!" Skylar added, doing a flip of her own. "She's like a trampoline champion already!"Marina, laughing joyfully, beamed at her new friends. "This is so much fun! I can't believe I've never tried this before!"Seamus, bouncing nearby with a wide grin, shouted, "Ye're flyin' like a dolphin through the air! Keep it up, lass!"As Marina continued to bounce and twirl, her carefree spirit filled the citadel with even more energy. Her graceful movements and bright laughter made her the center of attention, and soon, everyone was joining her in the trampoline park, bouncing, flipping, and spinning alongside the mermaid princess.After a while, Marina floated down to the edge of the trampoline, catching her breath. "That was amazing!" she said, her cheeks flushed with excitement. "Thank you for showing me this!"Jacob smiled warmly. "Anytime, Marina! There's still so much more to explore, too. The aquarium's waiting for you, and the giant bouncy ball room is a must-see!"Marina's eyes lit up again. "An aquarium? Oh, I can't wait to see that! And bouncing on a giant ball sounds like so much fun!"As the group prepared to continue their adventure, Marina smiled brightly, grateful to be part of this bouncing world. The Amaranthine Citadel had become even more magical with the arrival of the mermaid princess, and there was no telling what kind of adventures awaited next!
