[panting]

[groaning]

And now for a pinch of heat.

Actually, that's a scoop, Tyler. And it's way too much.

Impossible! My tacos are perfection.

- [clattering] - Huh? [yelps]

[screams]

[thunder]

Alex?

What are you doing here?

I-I need your help.

Come in.

Huh?

[gentle music]

[intense music]

Barbarossa will be pleased to add these pearls to his collection.

And your precious city will be left with nothing.

[snarls]

- [Tempesta laughs] - [grunts] The poison…

I still can't move.

Uh, neither can I.

[strains]

[sonar pulses]

They're coming. You know the signal.

We got you covered, Alex.

Thank you.

- [grunts] - Huh?

[gasps] My mother's trident!

Alex!

- [grunts] - Pathetic.

I am as old as the riptides and twice as dangerous.

And you thought you could defeat me by yourself?

Who says I'm by myself?

[Merlinda] Uh?

- The mother whale! - And Beau Jr.

[Alex laughs]

Looks like the tide is turning, witch.

Don't claim your victory yet.

[yells]

[whale vocalizes]

That's our cue.

[engines whir]

[grunts] The poison is wearing off.

[grunts] Huh?

Huh?

Let's wrap this rescue up.

[Merlinda gasps]

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

What about Sasha and Nerissa?

We're here. Super cozy.

This was all Beau Jr.'s idea.

What about Alex?

He said he was going for the pearls.

That's crazy. He can't beat the sea witch on its own.

Don't underestimate Alex, Merlinda. He's the best of the elite guards.

[grunts]

Last chance. Hand over those pearls.

[scoffs] You sorry seaworm!

[gasps]

[groans]

[yells]

[grunts]

[sea monsters snarl]

Alex!

[pants heavily]

[gasps]

An amusing little rescue attempt.

But doomed to failure!

[they scream]

[laughs]

She’s coming!

We've got to get going.

I can move again.

Get Merlinda and Sasha to safety. I'll buy you some time.

Nerissa, no!

I'll hang back just for a few minutes to cover your exit.

I'll be right behind you.

No! We can’t split up! Mermaids swim together…

Forever.

[Merlinda] Nerissa!

Nerissa!

Lightning bolt!

[yells]

[strains]

Nerissa!

[Tempesta laughs]

No!

[sighs]

[sighs]

[whimpers]

Merlinda, how can I help?

You can't. No one can.

[cries]

I lost Nerissa and Alex.

I lost the Pearls, too.

This is all because of me.

[Tyler] We're almost home.

Oh, no.

We've got sea monsters waiting at the Marine Rescue Center.

[sea monsters snarl]

What about your dad?

He's away for a week at one of his conferences.

We can't go home.

[splashing]

[hermit] The boy is right.

None of you are safe here.

It's that guy from the swamp! [whimpers]

You! Why are you here?

What do you want?

Only to offer my help.

And it looks like you need it.

Uh?

Ah! Well, we're back.

And it's just as dark and creepy as the last time we were here.

At least now there's a cute little bed for you, Beau Jr.

Wow.

Beau has been working so hard. He needs a nap, don't you, boy?

Oh! [makes babytalk noises]

What is all this?

Last time we were here, you ran. Why are you helping us now?

The last time you took me by surprise. I had been isolated for so long,

I wasn't at my best.

Then it sunk in. The princess…

here, on the surface world.

We don't even know your name.

My name is not important.

What's important is that I keep you safe.

[sighs]

I think I'm going to lie down.

Yeah.

Then we'll put together our plan to save Nerissa and Alex, right?

Pirates and mermaids?

Great idea.

I'm sure you'll feel way more sparkly when you wake up.

[groaning] Hm.

Uh, guess I'll call Fred to see about getting those jet skis fixed.

Maybe upgraded.

If it's okay. I'm gonna go through your papers.

Maybe a set of fresh eyes can find something.

Hm.

[Fred] All right.

- Crack in the housing. - Not my fault.

- Lava damage?! - [Alex] Not my fault.

[Fred] A slice of pizza in the battery case?!

[Alex] There was a lot going on that day, but you can fix them, right?

We've got an evil pirate, a seaweed witch,

and an army of trash monsters closing in.

We don't have much time.

I want to help you beat Barbarossa,

but it's going to take more than a pair of upgraded jet skis to do that.

If only we could find a way to take out all those sea monsters.

Maybe then we could even the odds.

[gasps shakily]

- Monster sightings. - [keys clack]

Missing persons reports. There's over ten years of data here.

Data that might lead us to Barbarossa.

And now you flip them.

The secret is in the wrist.

[splat]

Um, the ceilings are a little bit higher at home.

Ah!

[they laugh]

- [Merlinda sighs] - [Sasha] You’re so silly, Tyler!

[Tyler and Sasha laugh]

Oh!

Merlinda, you want breakfast,

I suggest sunny side up!

No, thanks.

[grunts]

[door slams]

Merlinda.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[gulls cry]

[somber music]

[gull screeches]

I see you've given up.

Given up what?

Every decision I make leads to disaster.

So, yeah, I'm giving up doing that.

Because of me, Barbarossa has the pearls and he has Nerissa and Alex too.

Feeling sorry for yourself won't bring them back.

Not your business.

Uh. Stop it!

No!

[grunts] Why are you doing this?

[grunts]

[Merlinda pants]

So, you do have some fight left in you.

Good. But that won't be enough.

Who was your magic instructor?

My father didn't want me to fight.

All he cared about was protecting me.

The only way I could train at all

was to sneak out with Nerissa and practice in secret.

Well, now you're training with me.

[Barbarossa] Hm.

[chuckles]

Hm.

You'll never win, pirate.

[sea monster growls]

I think I will.

I have the pearls.

And now Mertropia will fall.

- Never! - [Barbarossa laughs]

It's a pity you won't be there to see it.

Because I'm taking your life force.

[grunts in pain]

[laughs evilly]

[Alex struggles]

[grunts]

[Alex whimpers]

[Alex yells]

Alex, no!

[Alex screams]

[laughs evilly]

You monster!

[energy pulses]

[whooshing]

[laughs]

Ah!

[laughs evilly]

[whimpers]

[determined grunt]

[breathes deeply]

[pants]

[laughs]

Have no fear, mermaid.

I have no intention of taking your life force.

I have a more interesting plan for you.

[ominous music]

- [laughs evilly] - [sea monster snarls]

[Barbarossa laughs]

[Merlinda grunts]

You're relying on your magic too much.

What are you going to do when the opponent gets too close?

[yells]

[groans]

Now attack me… if you can.

[inhales deeply]

[yells]

- Ha! - Don't panic.

- [groans] - Focus.

[grunts]

Remember, your trident has two ends.

Use them.

- [grunts] - [gasps]

Look into your opponent's eyes.

Anticipate their attacks.

[grunts]

[yells]

[trident swishes]

[yells]

Hm. Your form is sloppy.

Work on it.

Go ahead, Princess.

[determined grunt]

[grunting]

- [yelps] - [splashing]

[groans]

[annoyed grunt]

[winch clanks]

[laughs]

[nervous laugh]

Uh…

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunting]

Uh?

[yells]

[Merlinda groans]

[annoyed grunt]

[grunting]

Hm?

- [grunts, yells] - [splashing]

[groans]

[grunting]

Ah! Hm?

[grunts]

[grunts]

Ah!

Huh?

Ah.

[grunting]

Hm.

Ah. [laughs]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[weapons clang]

Hm.

[chuckles]

[insects chirp]

Mm! Ha-ha!

- Food! - [Tyler wails]

Ah?

[laughs]

Ah! I have never been so hungry in my life.

It took forever, but I finally got him.

You should have seen it. Ah.

You and Nerissa would have…

- Oh. - Hey, we'll save her together.

Yeah, we have our mystery merman helping too.

Uh, actually… about him.

Look what we found in his papers.

But these are all reports of mermaid sightings.

[Tyler] They go back almost 15 years.

It seems like he's been looking for a mermaid up here all this time.

[Merlinda] Corelia?

My-my mom?

[Merlinda] Who are you?

Really?

What is this? What are you doing here on the surface?

Don't lie to me.

I will tell you.

But first you must pass my final test.

[computer beeps gently]

[keyboard clacks]

[tired sighing]

[exhales]

Fred, I need to tell you something.

[Fred] Dad?

This pillar of water is Sasha. She used her powers to protect you.

Huh?

Stop!

[hermit] Don't let her fall.

[strains]

And this one is Tyler.

He's protected you too, hasn't he?

[Merlinda grunts]

What do you say? Will you give us a chance?

And Celia.

You’ve had her support too.

[pants]

Thanks, Celia.

Now it gets difficult.

This one is Alex.

Huh?!

- Alex! - Are things always like this up here?

[strains]

[hermit] And Nerissa.

They protected you, now you must return the favor.

We came through the portal because we believe in you.

[Merlinda yelps]

I don't want to lose any of them.

Impressive.

But there's one more person who has been protecting you…

your mother.

[exhales]

[strains]

[hermit] Don't let them fall.

[strains]

[grunts]

[gasps]

I will protect her.

You will protect them!

[yelps]

[yells]

[thunder]

[exhales, grunts]

Of all my students, only one other has done so well.

My mother.

I saw you.

It was like a memory.

You are General Orca.

My uncle.

I was with your mother that day when she disappeared.

[grunts]

[gasps]

[grunts]

[strains]

- [roars] - Huh?

[whimpers]

No!

[sea monsters growl]

No!

I failed to protect her.

I failed my brother.

Most of all, I failed you.

You have every reason to hate me.

You're my family.

And you're with me now.

You've been here all this time looking for my mother.

You never gave up hope.

And that makes me think I can't lose hope either.

I won't. I'll never lose hope!

What?

Dad? I-I don't know what to say.

You-you helped Barbarossa create those sea monsters.

I understand if you can't forgive me. I have a lot to make up for.

But I need to try.

Just deliver this to your friends and that's it.

You're my son, and I don't want you putting yourself in danger.

Dad, this is…

This is the answer!

Not yet, but it could be if we finish it together.

Mm-hm.

- I guess we have a long night ahead of us. - [chuckles] Yeah.

It worked.

- [barking] - What?

I cross-referenced Orca's info

with all the sea monster sightings we know about.

I think I pinpointed Barbarossa's hideout.

- [Merlinda] Good. - Huh?

[Merlinda] I'm ready.

We don't know how much time my dad has left or Mertropia.

We're going to take the pearls from that pirate,

and we're going to rescue Nerissa and Alex, too.

Yes!

I'm done reacting to whatever Barbarossa and the sea witch throw at us.

Tomorrow at sunrise, we are taking the fight to them!
