Fighting for something you already lost.

((Continued From: Part of Your World))

There he is.... Marimar peeked from a pair of bushes at the group talking to each other. It has been a while since the sea princess was exiled from her palace. Her father would stop at nothing to have her killed by his many minions lurking throughout the island. But Marimar didn't care about herself, what she cared about was her people; All the young mermaids who haven't gotten to their prime have been held captive here in Atlantica by the dishonorable King Danya.

This whole game made her sick! He had no right to turn his kingdom into some board game were he made his lackys the pawns and the innocent merfolk are the spaces they land on. He needed to be stopped, something like this can't continue! Innocent people are dying! Her father was a cruel man, one who didn't have a heart! He abandonded her at her grandparents house on the land above. Even though he is her father, she had no choice but to end his life. Only with the kingd death can come a new life for the merfolk of Atlantica. Now that Marimars back in the sea it was time she takes things into her own hands. Her father was no longer suitable for ruling Atlantica, this the sea princess was absolutly sure about.

Marimar observed the conversation that went on, the girl peered her eyes at Lance Adams. He looks oddly familiar..... Then the lightbulb went off in her head, he was one of Ursulas eels Flotsome! He was the eel that tried to infiltrate her palace on the first night in Atlantica. She knew exactly what the connviving fish was doing, enticing those two fair mermaids to Ursulas cavern, where she would snare them and add them to her prisoned collection. No! She had to save them! It was the duty of the Princess of Atlantica!

The girl knew what had to be done, she was onced enticed by the eels cunning words but no more! Marimar slowly dress her machete blade and prepared for a moment to strike. Even though she had a courageous expression on her face, Marimar was a bit nervous and thought that she may have underestimated the power of Ursula and her minions; Underestimated her father..........Underestimated the forces of evil in this world.

The mermaid shook all doubts from her head and was ready to pounce at a moments notice. Okay on the count of 5.............1................2.......... Marimar breathed a bit heavily trying to summon up valor and will to dispose of this evil. 3........................................ She needed to do this! For her kingdom!!! 4.................................. This would be the first step into regaining control over Atlantica, and defeating her father. 5!

Marimar suddenly emerged herself from the bushes with a jolt and bolted foreward with her machete in hand. She used both hands to take ahold of the handle, and aimed right for lances chest. "Watch out! He's trying to kill you!!!!!" the girl screamed as she continued to run hoping to startle the young mermaids away before Flotsome has a chance to wrap himself around them and use them as a shield. "Yearghhh!!!!!" Marimar grunted as she rammed the machete through Lances chest. A look of shocked by Lance was met with a look of a determined and angry sea princess.

The machete went thorugh his chest and emerged from Lances back, in a moments notice Lances body collapsed. She looked at it with disdain and managed to pull out the machete from his body, three quarters of it dipped in blood. "This thing is a menace, he tried to seduce me once with his kind words and I ended up falling for it. However it wasn't too late at the time and I was saved by my dearest friends....." Marimar thought of Laura and Lee-Ann.....her Sebastian and Flounder.....

"He does this to anyone he can find, luckily I spotted him before he could make his move. You girls have nothing to worry about now..." she said wiping her forehead of nervous sweat. Even though she couldn't beleive what she has just done, she felt good. For once she actually felt like a rightful princess; Marimars voice was soft, and despite sounding rough she still sounded like the kind mermaid she has always been.

B34 - LANCE ADAMS STATUS: DEAD

Akward silence is the only thing that followed after the sea princess' last sentence. She didn't know what was wrong with them for a couple minutes until it finally hit her. They were not used to seeing their princess kill someone else, but they would have to realize this reality. It would be necessary for Marimar to kill, if she ever expects to regain control over her kingdom from her insane father. Then the thought dawned on her of other potential victoms of King Danya and Ursula.

".....I'm sorry but I must go.......Other merfolk like you two are probably in danger of being under attack. Ursula and Jetsome are still out there, and they must be stopped......" Marimar seathed her machete and started off deep into the forest  seeking a fortress to station at as well as other merfolk who are in need of her assistance in these times of dire need.

Sarah grabbed An-Linh by the arm and looked around as she heard the announcement.

"Come on, let's go!"

They then quickly made their way out of the area.
