The Mermaid and The Prince

The Final Battle

Leo helps Yamato go through the waves as he guided him to the boat. Yamato climbed up the ladder, Leo followed him, using his upper body strength to get to the top since he didn't have human legs. Yamato put out his hand to help him. Leo nodded his head as he took it. He pulled him up to the deck of the ship. It began to rain as Yamato took the wheel.

"So what do you plan to do with this thing?" Leo questioned.

Yamato looked at the long point coming out of the front of ship; it looked like a giant spear. That's what gave him the idea. "Were going to ram the ship into her." Yamato smirked; he believed that it was full proof. Crazy, yes! It's the only opinion they had . . . the only thing big enough to take the Sea Witch down.

Leo was shaken his head in agreement, not fully aware of what he just said, "What? Are you crazy?"

"This is the only thing big enough to be used as a weapon to destroy her. I know it's crazy . . . but it's the only way to stop her.

"It's crazy . . . but it's crazy enough to work." Leo agreed. "I'll follow you're lead. See you know. . ." He looked down at his feet.

Meanwhile Amu stood by Tusk, the rain droplets went onto his face as he looks around. He didn't realize they were in the middle of the ocean.

"Where are we?" Tusk questioned.

"Mr. Tusk you're okay." Amu embraces him without little thought to the surrounds. It caused him to let go as he hovered with his hands to keep afloat.

"Amu . . . I don't think now is the best time to hug me." Tusk warned. Not that he wasn't happen for Amu hugging him.

"I don't care." She cries out. "I am just so glad you're okay." Amu gleefully replies. Tusk managed to get to a hold of the board as she finally let go. Putting her hands to his chest as she cries out . . . "I thought . . . you were dead."

"I am sorry to worry you, Amu." Tusk softly tells her. "Where's Prince Yamato and Sera?" He asked. "And that Merman friend of yours?"

"I don't know. We were separated. . ."

"Look!" Tusk noticed Yamato on the ship, heading straight at the giant Sea Witch. "YOUR HIGHNESS!" Tusk held out his arm as he was hold back by Amu.

"You can't go . . ." Amu worriedly informs him.

"I am suppose to be with him. I am his bodyguard, his my friend. I am suppose to be the one that's protecting him." Tusk seriously tells her. He hated he was failing at his one job.

"I know it's hard, but there is nothing we can do. We just have to believe that he has a plan." Amu softly tells him.

Yamato uses the spike of the ship, like a blade it goes straight through the Sea Witch. Leo grabs onto Yamato as they dive into the water. They swim far from the impacted ship. The Sea Witch just lands back into the water before she explodes from all the magic she used on herself. There was nothing left that remained.

Every Polyps turned back into a Merman and Mermaid. They all separated with joy. The crown dropped around King Samu . . . as his trident landed next to him. He transforms back to himself as he picks up the trident. He knew that his daughter and those humans had something to do with stopping the Sea Witch and regained his magic. He smiled. It was the first time in so long he has gained a trust in humans again. He realized not all humans were evil creatures he viewed them as . . .

"I guess this is where we say good-bye." Amu tells Tusk. She was still in the water, near the shore.

"I don't want to say good-bye."

"It would be impossible for us to be together. I am a Mermaid, you're human. With the Sea Witch destroyed there isn't much we can do to become human?" Amu cries.

"This would be never be the last time. I don't care you're a Mermaid. I want to keep seeing you

"Tusk." Amu softly weeps out. Tusk then kissed her as she leaned in to kiss him back. She never wanted to forget this moment.

Sera looks at a large rock from a distance, near another part of the ocean. Looking over at Yamato who was lying in the sand. She was sad, despite the battle being over. Sera knew now she was a Mermaid again. She couldn't be with Yamato. He was still human.

"She really does love that human, doesn't she?" King Samu addresses as he looks over at Leo from a distance.

"Father, I seen the way they look at each other. Humans and Merfolk we can get along. Both Sera and Amu. They will never be happy if they stay as Mermaids. Both of them will remain miserable because they can't fully be with who they're heart truly wants."Leo informs King Samu, he smiled. He believed he was doing a very good job on trying to convince to turn them human.

"Yes, I see. I guess there is just one problem left."

"What's that, Father?"

"Just how much I am going to miss, Sera . . ."

"She won't be alone Father. Transform Amu too. At least she always have someone she knows with her."

"I shall transform both of them to humans."

King Samu wipes a tear from his face as his staff glows. One of the waves of light, Sera begins to glitter as the magic surrounds her. Sera takes notice of it as she looks back at King Samu and Leo. She had nothing but a smile on her face.

Sera, not long after slowly comes out of the water. She now had human legs and had a blue dress that sparkled. Yamato held his head, before he took notice. As she ran over to him, he spun her around before they kissed.

It's then revealed to be not long after as they finished their kiss at their held a bouquet of flowers, standing right next to Tusk. She was the Maid of Honor at their wedding. She was so happy for the both of them. And Amu hoped that one day; she could have that with Tusk. She took a handkerchief as she began to cry. Mario also was crying, his nephew FINALLY was married. The Kingdom had a Queen. He kept his promise to his Yamato's parents.

"It's just so beautiful. They're love is just so pure. And now Sera and I both got what we wanted . . . " Amu states as she puts her arm in Tusk's grip as she leans her head on his shoulder.

Sera goes over to the side of the ship, all the Merfolk from had gathered around to see their Princess marriage. They didn't care it was too a human. Humans and Merfolk had made peace with each other. And a law was passed to make sure no harm would come to them ever again. King Samu and Leo both rose up as Sera goes over to her older brother hugging him first.

"Thank you, Leo." Sera whispered.

"For what?" Leo questioned.

"For convincing Father to turn us human . . ."

"He didn't need much convincing . . . he saw how much you loved Yamato . . . but I will miss you . . ." Leo tells his sister as he looks over at Yamato with a nod. Before Sera affectionately embraces King Samu. "Take care of her, Yamato."

"Daddy." Sera tells him. "I love you."

"And I love you, my little Sea Flower." King Samu tells his daughter. Yamato bows his head out of respect to his now Father-in-law. He returned the sentiment by bowing his head to his now son-in-law. As he used his magic to send the water columns underneath them back down.

It was new beginning for all of them. They had to get use to the new changes in their lives. All they knew was, they had each other. And no matter what life took them from that point on. Being with each other made it wonderful. They watched as King Samu formed a rainbow with his trident before couples kissed again.

Author's Note: It's not officially over . . . there is still the epilogue. In which I am going conclude on everything. Like the aftermath of Yamato and Sera's marriage for example. If you watched The Little Mermaid 2, we all know what happens there. If you have seen it. I know you will all love it. The next story I will work on when I finish the epilogue will be 'To Love A Beast.' So take a look for updates on that in the future. I am so proud of it.

Well, how did you think of this story . . .? Yamato and Sera are now married. Tusk and Amu are together but they want to take their relationship more slowly. There isn't much pressure like Yamato who had to be married since he is a prince.
