Facing smaller enemies those two can handle, but it requires all the members to fight off something bigger than Wallis. At their end, Click tries his best to keep all of his equipment in shape as the fight the three red-eyed Mega Mermaids. He managed to tether them down from the beach and in the shallows but on was holding Wallis hostage though having a difficult time hold him up because... Fatness.

The two Mega Mermaids captured try to break themselves free while still capable of shooting lighting and ice at their craft. Click tethers the last mermaid's hand onto the craft, hoping to free Wallis from her grasp which just made to hovercraft rock from side to side making him sick. Though they are all extremely beautiful, they are monstrous in nature and size for they have the appetite of a shark and the mass of a blue whale. Before the one tethered to craft could have a chance to bite Wallis, a sword was thrown and stabbed her in shoulder making back away into the water and letting go of poor Wallis.

The team was finally united once more, but they really surprised to see Korah in his new form.

Click"Guys you're ba-a-ah!!! Inhales Who's that!?"
Sorin" It's Korah, I don't know what happened but I need you to help him!"
Click"I don't have time! These mermaids are relentless that one is still trying to eat Wallis!"
Wallis"Help me NOW!! Ahh!!!"
Maxine"Alright, I'll help him. You try to resolve this alright dear?"
Sorin"..... Okay, just be careful."
Maxine"Aha! Darling, you can trust me."

As Maxine took Korah inside the craft, Sorin helps out by stabbing the Mega Mermaid's wrist until she final sinks down and loses her grip on Wallis. While inside the craft's sick bay she puts Korah down on a sick bed and puts down the treasures on the medical table frantically finding medications for her teammates. There's nothing she could do for him, but all she could do is put a cold wet towel on his forehead to keep him cool. After that he gets a medical bag and her own arsenal bag from the closet and ran outside, leaving Korah to recuperate, again....

When she got outside and onto the beach, all three mermaids were set free and already started casting spells on the party from blasting fireballs to summoning falling ice shards. This will definitely destroy their hovercraft and kill them in the process, but Maxine was both a battle medic and an excellent sniper. She whipped out a reenforced crossbow and a wide selection of arrows and begins shooting them on the shoulders and neck areas. All seems lost when all three mermaids surrounded them and readied a powerful spell.

Then all of a sudden, something broke through the craft's roof and assaulted the biggest out of all the mega mermaids. Whatever it was, the thing was set on fire and already leaving scratches wherever it climbs on the mermaids body. The team was speechless at the sight, but never the less they were still on their guard. Soon the first mermaid's bare back burst into a giant pyre that resembled burning wings as she screamed in agony. As she slowly fell back into the waters, a sound of crashing as steam could be heard from her back extinguishing the fire.

The living giant fireball soon leapt onto the next mermaid and made quick work of her in a similar burst of raging flames. The last one tries to swim away by diving back into the water, but it was too late as the fireball struck her back when she turned it away from the group. What they saw was quite a shock, the fire creature wasn't really attacking the mermaids, but attacking the large parasite on her, burning it to death letting the mermaid fall into the water while the leech was flung onto the shore near the boat. Upon coming closer, the creature standing on the parasite's corpse was none other than Korah, looking all heroic yet concerned when saw his friends in injuries. He jumps onto their hovercraft nearly tipping it and them over board.

Click"Hey! Watch it man!"
Ifrit Korah"Sorry... Can't work... In form..."
Wallis"You... Okay little mate?"
Ifrit Korah"Head... Hazy... Can't speck well... For now..."
Sorin" Lil' Bro! How are you feeling?"
Ifrit Korah"Memaids... Not... Enemies..."
Sorin"What?"
Maxine"You mean the things on their backs... Were they controlling them?"
Ifrit Korah"👍Mmm! Leeches... Evil..."
Click"How do you even notice it while you were K.O.ed?"
Ifrit Korah"Cries..."
Wallis"They were crying? Could've fooled me mate."
Ifrit Korah"No... Cries inside!"
Sorin"What do you mean by that Kor?"
Ifrit Korah"Too... Sleepy... Momma..." Faints and falls on the floor
Sorin"Korah!!"

As the new Korah fainted from exhaustion, he was set on fire yet again and transforms back into himself, almost himself. That unknown power scarred him in the most unusual way: his brown hair is now red with vermillion sheens, his skin pigment is permanently bronzed tanned as if he was tanning under the sun, his irises are now golden, and now his etched markings spread even further and changed into more like birthmark tattoos. This was unsettling to them all, for this occurrence might have sealed his fate. What they witness was the awakening of a half-Djinn.

As they finally left the lagoon, another giant mermaid pops her head halfway out of the water. Her head might be even larger than the hovercraft and might dwarf the mega mermaids. She had two lion mane jellyfishes for hair bunds and has a tiara hidden beneath her bangs indicating that she might be the mermaid queen, unlike the others her eyes were as blue as the sea once was and is full of curiosity. She slowly sinks back into the water and follows them until her underwater shadow disappears from sight unknown to how long she will follow them.

...? What? Why Myrtle? Because f___ your that's why!! No, the reason why is that I can't give the last one any good sea names so I used one of my most hated female names that just plain upsets. And nothing upsets me more than a white fake hula dancer named Myrtle Edmunds, MYRTLE EDMONDS!! And by the way, Myrtle the Mega Mermaid was the one about to eat Wallis.
