Here it is!

We finally found it.

Ah, the Neptune Flower.

It blooms once every hundred years,

and only grows underground.

Yeah, that's great, Astra,

but it doesn't take my mind off the fact that we're in the

Octokyo sewer!

Aww. Would a hug cheer you up?

No! Get your sewer hooves away from me!

Break it up, you two. Let's go.

Ugh!

Okay, Moon Shells, Barnacle Glue,

Neptune Flower.

According to Princess Hana's diary,

I have everything I need to craft our new Hooflets!

New shoes?

Finally, this mission's getting good!

. They're a special kind of talisman

designed by Princess Hana.

The diary says they'll make our Creative Forces stronger.

That's exactly what we need to rescue Pearl Girl

from Ika Inkblot.

Sounds good to me.

I'll take mine in a roomy 7.

Gwen, don't be so greedy.

Besides, I call dibs on the first pair.

There'll be more than enough Hooflets to go around.

All I need to do is follow Princess Hana's instructions.

How hard can it be?

Aha.

Yeah, I swam right into that one.

♪ Mermicornos! Let's unite!

♪ Creative forces we'll ignite!

♪ Magic is the key

♪ In the undersea

♪ We're gonna set the world alight ♪

Yuss!

♪ Mermicorno!

♪ Starfall!

♪ Mermicorno!

♪ Starfall!

Hmm.

"Glue the pieces of Moon Shell

"into the shape of two Hooflets.

"Then layer petals along the top."

Oh no, no, no, no,

uh, um, Squishella!

I need your fix-it powers fast!

♪ Waah ahh ahhh

I guess my Creative Force

doesn't work on glue spills.

Ugh! Great!

Now I have to start over.

Don't you think

you're being a little hard on yourself?

It was just a mistake.

But there's no time for mistakes.

The diary says we need these Hooflets

to take on Ika Inkblot!

The sooner I get them done,

the sooner we can rescue Pearl Girl.

. Don't worry, Astra.

I know you'll make the perfect Hooflets for me.

I think you mean me!

Ugh, not again!

You've been competing all day.

Who gets the first pair of Hooflets?

Who can eat breakfast the fastest?

Who can burp the loudest?

Um, that last one was all Gwen.

Just saying,

it'd be easier to work without all the competing in here.

Astra's right.

Bet I can swim outside fastest!

Ugh! Yeah right!

Mooove!

Outta my way!

Oh. I hope Nautique and Kameko

are having more luck at the library.

Thanks for coming with me, Kameko.

We need to figure out what Pearl Girl meant

when she spoke to us through the locket.

"When the stars are drained,

"and the ocean is draped in shadow,

"my transformation will be complete."

We know Sawtooth and the Squidions

are draining the stars,

but what's "draping the ocean in shadow"?

Not sure, but we'll figure it out,

just like the Creepy Kelp Forest.

Thump, thump, hoof bump!

Yeah!

Mystery Solving Dream Team!

Subarashii!

While we're on the subject of yelling,

do you remember what we talked about?

I know, I know.

The librarian is very strict,

and we can't make any noise or he'll kick us out.

I can stay quiet no problem.

When I have to be quiet, I'm quiet right away.

You'll be like, "Where did Kameko go?"

And I'll be like,

"I was here all along, but you didn't 'cause I was so quiet!"

This is gonna be a challenge.

One time I was quiet for half an hour!

That's probably a world record, Nautique.

Hey, Your Darkness.

Is it me or are you looking extra sinister today?

Do I seem happy to you, Sawtooth?

Uh, happiness is hard to define.

Well, I'm not!

Yep, swam right into that one.

You let the Mermicornos escape into the Creepy Kelp Forest.

You let them train in an Arcadi-corno.

And to top off this failure salad,

you lost them completely!

What is the point of having a hench-shark

if he can't even hench properly?

Is hench a verb?

Anything's a verb if I say it's a verb!

The time for the ritual is fast approaching.

If we're not ready,

it will be your fault!

So do better!

Yes, Your Darkness.

. Good.

Hmm.

One of my Squidion Scouts

has spotted the Mermicornos in Octokyo.

Now it's time for my elite team of hench-fish

to bring them back here.

Oh-ho-ho! Elite team!

Stoked to meet them!

Where, where, you called them in or?

It's you three, jelly brain!

Now hurry!

We must keep the Mermicornos captive

so they can't interfere with the ritual!

Oh! And Sawtooth?

No more mistakes.

Ha! Snowball beats paper.

This is rock, not paper.

I win! The first Hooflet's mine.

No, I win!

No, I win!

What?

- Ah! - Excuse you.

I did it!

It took a bunch of tries, and all the supplies I had,

and definitely too much bubble tea,

but I did it!

They're beautiful!

A work of art, really.

Gimme, gimme, gimme!

Hey! Those are mine!

I knew this would happen,

which is why I made two pairs!

Just put them on,

pound your hooves together,

and say "Hooflet Power"!

I hope getting these at the same time

will end all the competing.

. I'm putting them on first!

No way!

Hooflet Power!

So, how do I look?

Yeah, Astra, uh, what do you think?

. AHHHHHHH!!!

- Ah! Ow! - Oof! Ah!

Get off.

AHHHHHH!!!!

. Get off, get off, get off!

Astra, what did you do?!

Um, I don't know.

Um, okay,

I followed the instructions exactly.

"Break Moon Shells," yes,

"apply petals."

Oh. Uh-oh.

What do you mean "uh-oh"?

I may have skipped a step.

Which was?

"You must let the glue dry before putting on the Hooflets.

"Failure to do so

"will cause any Mermicornos wearing them

"to stick together."

That's a pretty big step to skip!

There has to be a way to fix this!

Oh! That's it!

Squishella, you can fix or break things with your voice.

If you shatter the Hooflets,

maybe you'll go back to normal.

Wait!

If I shatter the Hooflets, we'll go back to normal.

Astra just said that.

Oh, whatever.

The point is good ideas are flowing.

Let's do this.

Frankly, ha, you've never been cooler.

Now, uh,

one of my classic icicles should pry these Hooflets off.

You've ruined me.

Oh, this is really bad.

Your bodies and your powers have been fused.

It gets worse, Astra.

Our bodies and our powers have been fused.

Are you paying attention at all?

Sorry for not having my listening ears on

while I'm in a crisis!

This is no time for squabbling.

We have to get rid of these Hooflets.

♪ An epic fail has put us in this jail

♪ A magical tragic glue has stuck me, together with you

♪ Now everywhere I turn,

♪ You're always just right there

♪ As charming as a piranha

♪ But I don't wanna be here anymore ♪

♪ You make the most of being super gross ♪

♪ You remind me of an eel with less appeal

♪ I can't take it anymore!

♪ And I'm stuck on you

Great. You ruined my solo!

Your solo? Hello!

I'm the singing Mermicorno.

Oh.

But I didn't say anything!

Oops.

Strike one.

Two more and you're outta here!

Ready? Go!

Ah!

There must be something we can do.

"Talismans, Tandem Bikes. ”

"Tennis Lessons."

D'oh! Work with me, diary!

Books and I usually get along so well.

Face it, Astra, it's useless!

I'm gonna be stuck to her forever.

Um, excuse you.

you're lucky to be fused to a Mermicorno of my caliber.

Wait! I've got something!

"Hooflets are some of the most powerful talismans there are.

"They can only be broken by someone whose Creative Force

"has been magnified by a Hooflet of their own."

Uh, so to break this Hooflet, you need to make another one?

No offence, but that didn't go great the last time.

Well, I'm willing to take the risk.

Come on, Astra.

Craft your little tail off.

The thing is,

I kind of used up all our supplies making these ones.

What? Then what are we gonna do?

I cannot believe you're making me go out there like this!

Look, all we need are Moon Shells,

Barnacle Glue, and a Neptune Flower.

We get those super fast and we get you two apart.

Agreed?

Agreed.

Look what you did!

I insist on being the primary swimmer!

Here's the plan.

We spread out and find the Mermicornos.

Then, we split 'em up and take 'em on one by one.

That way, they can't gang up on us.

Ah.

Argh!

This book has a lot of information about stars!

Strike two.

I can't believe you did this, Astra.

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

And, uh, a little mad.

I don't usually talk to myself like this!

Oh.

A Moon Shell!

Finally.

Any luck finding barnacles or Moon Shells?

Wah!

Ah!

Ha-ha!

Do you know who I am?

Ooh! I can't work under these conditions!

We'll never find what we need at this rate.

I think we need to split up.

I can find the barnacles and the Moon Shells

if you two get more Neptune Flower petals.

You're sending me to the sewer?

Have I not suffered enough?

It'll be so much faster.

Plus, it might be easier.

The tunnels have less, uh, bystanders.

Ugh, I suppose you're right.

We'll meet you back at the Slurp n' Surf.

And don't worry, I got this.

- No, no, I got this. - I got this!

I said I got this!

. I got this!

They'll be fine, right?

. Stop saying you got this

when I got this!

Yeah, I'm gonna hurry.

Ah, ah, ah...

That was close.

Whew!

Aww, fish fingers.

You are banished from the library!

The Neptune Flower was this way!

Ow! What was that for?

Look!

. Finally!

Let's get those petals and split ourselves up already.

Wait! We've been smashing into things all day.

Let me do the swimming.

Oh, you'd love that, wouldn't you?

Would you let me handle this?

You let me handle it!

It's just petals!

- I'll do it better. - Let me get them off!

Grrrr! I can't take it anymore!

You are impossible!

Ha! You're not such a picnic either.

In fact, the worst thing about this entire mission

is working with you!

Grr. How many times do I have to tell you,

I'm taking odd numbered streets,

you take the evens.

Ugh, never mind.

Any luck?

Keep looking. We need to-

. Can you be quiet for two seconds?

Wait.

. Ugh! Oh, I can be quiet.

In fact, after today,

I would prefer it if we never speak again!

Sounds good to me!

Ugh, I can't believe this.

Stuck in a sewer, covered in slime,

fused to you!

Can today get any worse?

Yeah, I swam right into that one.

Ha-ha! Look at this, Squidions.

Two for the price of one.

Swim for it!

Ow!

Too easy.

Sorry, but you're expected at the lair of Ika Inkblot.

I'm sorry, Kameko.

I messed up.

Kameko?

You can speak now.

Ika's probably gonna give me a promotion.

I'll guard these two while you find the other Mermicornos.

Move! There's not much time before the lunar eclipse.

If Ika's gonna transform the Pearl Brat,

we need to get back to draining stars.

Besides, I've been swimming all day,

and these fins are barking.

Yeah. Oh yeah. Okay. Mmm.

Sawtooth and the Squidions have Gwen and Squish!

And they've been fused into a Mer-Mermicorno-Corno!

Not just that.

Sawtooth said lunar eclipse!

I bet you can't see them in the ocean,

but on land you can see

that the earth is between the moon and the sun,

blocking the light!

That's what Pearl Girl meant by shadow!

We have to save her before the lunar eclipse!

First we need to save Gwen and Squish.

But there's only two of us

against Sawtooth and the Squidions.

We need to get Astra!

. There.

I just need the petals and this nightmare will be over.

Sawtooth and the Squidions have Gwen and Squish!

Also, do they need a new name now that they're fused?

Gwish? Sqwen?

I'm thinking Sqwen.

Okay, we'll go with Gwish.

I can't believe this.

First I misread the Hooflet instructions

and fuse Gwen and Squish together.

Then I let them go off alone and get captured?

What next?

I make some sort of hot sauce talisman

that makes the ramen shop explode?

Ah!

It's okay, Astra.

We can fix this.

We shouldn't have to.

I'm supposed to be the leader,

and all I've done is make mistake after mistake.

Everyone makes mistakes.

For example,

we talked in the library.

That's really not the same.

It's not about the mistake,

it's about what you do after that matters.

Now let's go save Gwish!

Nah, I like Sqwen.

Now let's go save Sqwen!

Rest and recovering is essential

for good hench-sharking!

They're gonna take us to Ika's lair.

And there's no way we could take him on without Hooflets.

Aww, you were right.

I should have just let you get the petals.

No, you're better at this stuff.

No wonder Astra relies on you.

You think Astra relies on me?

Obvi. You're Gwen.

You're smart and tough and cool under pressure.

I guess that's why I wanted Hooflets,

so I could be strong like you.

You are strong.

I can't do what you do.

Honestly, I wish I could.

So you wanna be like me and I wanna be like you.

Ha! Imagine what we could do if we worked together.

Not just that.

Imagine what we could do if we worked together.

Ugh.

I'm kidding!

I was listening that time.

I have an idea.

Gimme an ice cube.

Nice.

Now bring it over here!

Look, I'm the leader!

So just do what I say without argument!

What?!

You're gonna regret that!

Not as much as you'll regret this!

Wah!

What is that?

You think that's bad?

Try this!

Ha. Is it getting cold in here or is it just me?

. Ha! Good one, Squishella.

Get him!

Woo! Wow!

They're getting their tail-fins kicked by Sqwen!

Nope, Gwish.

I'm back on Gwish.

I've never seen them work together so well.

Looks like that mistake wasn't so bad after all, huh, Astra?

Seems like they've got this.

. Take that, Sawtooth!

. Go, Gwen!

You two, help me finish the Hooflets.

Kameko, grab the petals.

Nautique, a Dragon Wave should dry the glue.

All dry!

Here goes nothing.

Hooflet Power!

Ha! Your ice is no match for me.

. No, but I am!

And my powered up Creative Force

can make a talisman that will unstick my friends!

Yas!

Yeah!

Now try these on for size!

Hooflet Power!

Mermicorno: Starfall!

Mermicorno: Starfall!

Retreat!

Oh no ya don't!

You've got a long trip ahead.

Let me make you more comfortable.

Please keep your tentacles and fins

inside the bar at all times.

Now presenting my amped up breaking power!

♪ Waaaaaaaahhhhh!

Say hi to Ika for us.

Whoa!

I'm gonna be in so much trouble.

Astra, you did it!

It's not all good news.

Ika's going to use the stars' power

to transform Pearl Girl during a lunar eclipse!

My dad and I used to watch the lunar eclipses

whenever they happened.

The next one is in two weeks!

Then we need to move fast.

Next, we upgrade the Hooflets.

But this time,

I promise to read the instructions.

. Can you not compliment me

when I'm trying to compliment you?

And they're fighting again.

It was nice while it lasted.

Okay, you two, break it up!

Excuse me!

I'm being extremely kind and you are interrupting!
