Cherry Meets The Little Mermaid

chapter 10

Cherry couldn't believe Ariel was down with Ursula now and this vacation had turned into a nightmare. Her parents and brother pulled her up onto shore with Prince Eric.

"Cherry, stay with us, it's dangerous out here." Chester held his daughter close as she was soaking wet.

"I wish more weddings could be this exciting." Charlie joked, causing everyone to glare at him.

Prince Eric took off his shoes and put on his normal clothes, wielding his sword. He was about to dive into the water as he saw the vacationing family next to him.

"Eric, what are you doing?" Cherry asked.

"I lost Ariel once, I'm not gonna lose her again!" Eric was close to diving in.

"Are you crazy!?" Naomi scolded him.

"Let me go with you!" Cherry clung onto Eric's leg.

Eric looked down at her. He didn't want to get her into any trouble, but he saw that she actually looked brave and determined. He then looked back at her family. "You guys stay here safely until we get back to shore." Eric told them.

"Oh, be careful, Cherry Girl!" Chester grew worried for his youngest child.

"She'll be fine, she's been through worse, honey." Naomi reassured her husband.

Eric and Cherry then took deep breaths and dove into the water together to save Ariel once and for all. While there, they saw Ursula with King Trident from Cherry's book about to give up his trident to the sea witch. The king then signed the contract so he could save his daughter's life. Ariel was in her normal form and King Trident had turned into a sea worm as Ursula was the new ruler of the ocean.

"Your majesty..." Sebastian groaned.

"Daddy..." Ariel was shocked.

Eric and Cherry then saw Ursula moved from the ocean and became a huge sea monster. Cherry was almost out of oxygen, and Eric grabbed her tight and they both quickly went over the ocean and gasped for air. Ursula looked really terrifying and monstrous. Eric then took out his sword and charged for Ursula with the weapon, and jabbed her until she bled the crimson liquid. The sea witch grabbed her arm in pain and looked down to see humans trying to stop her.

"You little brats!" Ursula growled.

"Eric, Cherry, look out!" Ariel cried out.

"After them!" Ursula ordered Flotsam and Jetsam.

The electric eels quickly went over and trapped the prince and child in their clutches. They shocked Cherry to near death and Eric tried to fight them off but it almost seemed hopeless. They then saw Sebastian was grabbing at the eels to get them to let go of Cherry and Eric.

"Say goodbye to your new friend and sweetheart." Ursula pointed her new trident to the humans.

Ariel gasped, then grew determined. She swam up with no shyness and pulled at Ursula, making her scream in pain and agony and letting the trident miss hitting Cherry and Ursula. Instead, the zaps hit her eels and they were no more.

"My babies!" Ursula cried. She then glared at Ariel for making her do such a thing.

Ariel and Eric reunited as they went to shore while Cherry knelt on shore and gasped for air and relief. Ursula was gone for a moment, no one could see her, but Cherry knew in her gut this adventure wasn't over yet.

"Eric, you gotta get out of here!" Ariel told him.

"No!" Eric protested. "I won't leave you!"

Suddenly, the water reared up and Ursula rose in a very large, horrifying size. Cherry rushed to Eric and Ariel and they held her as they all looked scared and nearly defeated.

"You pitiful, insignificant fools!" Ursula bellowed.

"LOOK OUT!" Eric pulled the girls away from Ursula's tentacle about to crush them.

Everyone got split up from Ursula's wrath. Cherry ran around, wondering what to do as they suffered. Eric made it to his ship, but Ursula's wrath made it sink under the water. Ariel squeezed Cherry as she looked to see Eric could've been killed. Ursula laughed wickedly as she was making everyone around her miserable. She then stopped as she heard Eric call out and then he swung from the ship mast and finally stabbed her in the stomach with his sword. Ursula screamed with pain and fell backward and was overpowered. She was finally gone and no one heard from Ursula ever again. Everything went back to normal, King Trident was a merman again and ruler of the sea and peace was restored as Cherry reunited with her parents and brother.
