Chapter 7: Atlantica
Part 3: Transformation




The search for Melody begins. Sora, Ariel, and Triton search underwater, while Mizuhimé and Eric search above. Meanwhile, Melody has been brought to the above water section of Morgana's icy lair by Night Shade. They sat down and converse about Melody's destiny; a destiny to be a mermaid.

"A mermaid?" Melody was stunned by what the sea witch said. Then she frowned. "But, that's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible." Morgana said as she pulled out a bottle of potion with Ursula's face on it. "With this, I can turn you into a mermaid."

"Really?" Melody said with excitement. "Oh, thank you!"

"Now, I'm afraid there's not enough for the transformation to be permanent."

The little girl frowned at this realization. "Oh."

"But, there is one way." The sea withch said gaining Melody's attention. "I could make the change permanent if only I had my trident." She made an image of the trident out of black smoke. "But unfortunately it was stolen from me by King Triton of Atlantica," she said dramatically.

Melody thought for a moment, and soon made a decision. "I'll get it for you."

"You will?" Morgana faked excitement. "Splendid!" She then gives Melody a stone tablet. "Here's a map to Atlantica. Sneak into the castle and take back my trident."

"Okay."

Morgana then pours the potion on Melody's legs and in a flash of light those legs transformed into a red fishtail. Melody was excited at her new tail. She was a mermaid now. Waisting no time, she dove into the ocean and swam away to find Atlantica.

Night Shade stood up and said, "I'll have my Heartless keep those miscreants occupied, and see if they can get a hold of MY prize." She then sunk into a pool of darkness.

"Good." The sea witch laughs. "Soon, I'll be more powerful than my sister. And then, I'LL be the ruler of the seas!"

===

Meanwhile, Mizu and Eric and his sailing crew are on the sailing ship, searching for Melody. Mizu was leaning against the port side railing, feeling the salty sea wind in her hair. Soon Eric walked up to her.

"So tell me, Mizu," said Eric, "what's your story?"

"Huh?" replied Mizu.

"How do you know Sora?"

"W-well..." Mizu was embarrassed at first, talking about Sora to someone she barely knows. But she let out deep breath and started talking. "He saved my life, twice in fact."

"Really?" said Eric.

Mizu nodded. "The first time, I was little, when a bunch of Heartless came and took my mother away from me, he came to my rescue. The second time was just recently, when my home was invaded. I fought their leader and lost, and Sora came out of nowhere and saved me, after not seeing him in ten years." She paused for a moment. "If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today. I owe him my life. And I don't how I'm ever going to repay him."

"I see. Well, maybe someday you'll get your chance."

"Maybe."

Suddenly, the ship shakes. Mizu and much of the crew had lost their balance and fell onto the deck. As Mizu got back up, she looked around to see what was going. Suddenly an gaint octopus tentacle bursted out of the water, causing Mizu and Eric to jump to the center of the ship. The tentacle grabbed one of the crew members and dragged him into the ocean, never to be seen again. After a brief pause, that same tentacle returned to the surface, but then three more came out surrounding the ship. Mizu switched out her Shining Hope keychain for Star Seeker. One of the tentacles slammed onto deck, and Mizu quickly struck it with her Keyblade, causing it to briefly retreat. Another tentacle attacked but Mizu casted a fire spell to blast it back.

It was the same routine of tentacle attacks and Mizu counterattacks over and over. The crew with there swords and guns were helping, but not very well. Also the appendages' attacks were damaging the ship. Mizu leapt back to dodge another attack, but when she landed her foot broke through the weakened deck, causing her to trip and fall on her butt. She tried to pull her foot out of the hole she made, but she was trapped. Then a giant sea serpent head with a Heartless emblem on it arose from the water, the Leviathan Heartless. The serpent let out a hissy growled as it stared daggers at Mizu, frightening her. Then one of the tentacles wrapped around her, pulled her out of her trap, and dragged her underwater. Then the snake head and the other appendages sank back into the water. Eric rush over to the edge calling Mizu's name.

Under the ocean, Mizu struggled to break free from the Leviathan's tentacle, but she couldn't move. She tried hold her breath underwater, but she didn't get a chance to catch a good breath before going under. She couldn't hold out any longer, and passed out, releasing what breath she had. She almost drowned down there when suddenly her Spirit Charm glowed brightly. That light enveloped the drowning girl, burning the leviathan's tentacle, causing it to lose its grip on her. When Mizu quickly came to, the first thing she noticed was that she was still underwater and yet somehow she was breathing. Then she looked down at herself and notice that she only wore a purple strap around her chest, a black armband on each of her upper arms, and her glowing Spirit Charm. But what shocked her was that she didn't have legs anymore, instead she had a fishtail, a goldfish-like tail to be exact. She was amazed at what became of her.

Wh-what happened? she thought. Am I... a mermaid? She then looked at her glowing amulet which soon dimmed until the light completely doused. Was it my amulet that changed me?

Before she could delve into it any further, the giant tentacled sea snake returned to her view. The Leviathan charged toward Mizu with its mouth wide open. Mizu tried to move, but being new to this mermaid form, she didn't know how to swim in this state. The Leviathan gobbled her up, but before it could swallow her it felt the electric shock of her Thunder spell and spit her back out. Mizu managed to regain her bearing and tried to move again, but it was still diffcult to swim. The Heartless wrapped a tentacle around her again. Thankfully her Keyblade arm was free this time. She jabbed her Keyblade into the appendage, forcing it to release her. The then casted a fire spell at it, which did very little to it. She was surprised that it worked at all underwater(I guess it's not magic for no reason), but wasn't surprised that it was weak down here.

After a little forced practicing from trying to avoid the snake, Mizu finally got the hang of the swimming and found the courage to fight back. She struck it a few time with her Star Seeker, before it slammed her with it's serpent tail, forcing her away. The Leviathan began sucking up the water, the current reaching the new mermaid. Mizu struggled to fight against the current, but it was too strong. Thinking fast, the casted another Thunder spell, causing the Heartless to wail in pain. That is when she noticed that Thunder was particularly strong underwater. Made sense, since naturally water conducts electricity(and being magic prevented it from spreading anywhere unwanted). With this in mind Mizu casted Thunder one more time, zapping the creature immobile. Mizu then quickly swam up to the Leviathan and plunged her Keyblade into the sigil on its head. After removing her blade, there a was burst of light, and a large heart emerged from the wound and floated away while the Heartless disintegrated.

Back above water, Eric looked out to the sea, when a large heart came out of the water and flew into the sky. After looking out a bit more, Mizu suddenly jumps out of the water and back in. Eric was surprised to see Mizu a mermaid. Mizu raised her head out of the water and waved at him.

"Wow!" Eric said. "What happened to you?"

"I'm not sure," Mizu replied. "One minute I was drowning, the next....this. Are you alright?"

"We're fine, for the most part, but that more that what I can say for the ship. We're gonna have to take what left of this back to port while it's still sailable. Since your down there and capable, Mizu, why don't you go and continue the search?"

"Are you sure?"

"We have to start searching on land anyway; see if she made shore somewhere. Don't worry."

"Okay."

"Mizu,....please find my daughter."

"I will." Mizu then dove back under and swam away, continuing the search.

===

Meanwhile at Atlantica, Triton and Sebastian returned to the undersea palace and had everyone swimming around, searching for Melody. Sora and Ariel, met up with Flounder, who had grown up in during the years. They informed him of the situation and he agreed to help. Unfortunately, the search wasn't going well.

"No sign of her anywhere," said Sora

"Where could she have gone?" asked Ariel, very worried for her daughter.

"Don't worry, Ariel," Flounder assured. "We'll find her."

"I just hope Morgana doesn't," said Ariel.

"We can't give up!" exclaimed Sora. "We have to keep looking!"

Suddenly, a bunch of Heartless appeared, Screw Divers, Aqua Tanks, Sea Neons, and Torpedos. "Heartless!" exclaimed Ariel.

Sora summoned his Kingdom Key. "What are they doing here?"

"You don't think they're working for the Sea Witch, do you?" asked Flounder.

"Maybe," answered Sora. "Whatever the case, we gotta find Melody before they do." Sora then charged at the Heartless.


New Heartless:
Leviathan: A giant emblem heartless that resembles a sea serpent with four octopus-like tentacles.
LONG overdue for an update. Sorry about that. If you thought Mizu was not gonna have mermaid form, you were wrong.
