Little Mermaid Sonic
Version
Amy followed
Tikal to the secret place.
“We can turn back any time you want,” Tikal reminded her.
The young spirit knew it was probably a mistake to take the young mermaid to
this place. But she also didn’t want her friend to be love sick forever. She
could tell by looking at Amy that she had fallen hard and she wasn’t sure if
the mermaid would ever get over it. Tikal had seen other mermaids fall in love,
most only fell in love once. She very rarely saw a mermaid fall in love with a
second person.
“I want to do this,” Amy assured her with a bright smile.
Tikal grabbed hold of her hand. “I understand,” Tikal gave a
soft smile.
It took two and half hours to arrive at the place Tikal told
Amy about. It was a small cave close to the ocean floor.
“It’s through here,” Tikal moved back the seaweed.
The seaweed was like a thick curtain. The darkness of the
cave gave off a feeling of foreboding. The two held hands as they swam forward.
A green glow soon appeared after a few yards of darkness.
“What’s that glow?” Amy murmured.
Tikal merely smiled as she pulled back the last of the
seaweed. “That, my dear Amy, would be the Master Emerald.”
They found themselves in front of a half sunken altar. They
swam to the surface and Amy could clearly see the large gleaming green stone.
Sitting in front of the Master Emerald were two figures. A creature with light
green eyes with a body made of water. Its pink brain could clearly been seen
through its transparent body. A white bat sat in front of him. She wore
beautiful jewelry. Her eye shadow matched her dressed and she wore a dark red
lipstick. The two seemed to be caught up in an intense game of checkers as they
were staring intently at the board between them.
“Who are they?” Amy leaned into Tikal.
Tikal sighed. “Chaos,” she waved to water creature. “Madam
Rouge,” she waved to the bat. “We’re going to have to wait for their game to be
finished before you can get legs.”
“Get legs?” Rouge looked up from the board. Her dark teal
eyes went from Tikal to Amy. “A mermaid…” she breathed. “A pink mermaid…”
Amy nervously fiddled with her fingers as she looked away.
Something about Madam Rouge’s gaze made her nervous.
Rouge merely stared in awe before smiling. “What brings you
here?”
“Our game?” Chaos arched a brow at the bat.
“I forfeit.” Rouge waved her hand. “This is more
interesting. So tell me what brings you here?”
“Amy,” Tikal gestured to the pink hedgehog mermaid, “has
fallen in love with a lander. So I brought her here.”
“I would like legs.” Amy stated in one breath.
“You want legs so you can be with this man?” Rouge tilted
her head. Her smile was a soft one. “Sugar plum, I don’t…”
“If she wishes for legs, it’s not for us to try to
discourage her,” Chaos placed his hand in front of Rouge. A signal to back
down.
Rouge huffed. “Exchanging legs for a tail is a dangerous
trade.”
“Tikal told me that. But I’m willing to do anything I have
to. So please, give me legs.” Amy clapped her hands together.
Chaos seemed to cock his head in a smile. “Sit here,” he
pointed to a spot on first step with water on it. Amy did as he instructed.
Chaos walked up to the Master Emerald and placed his hand on it. “This gem is
magical. It will be granting your wish. But first,” Chaos turned to the
emerald. “Master Emerald, tell us what this young mermaid will have to trade to
gain the legs she wants.”
The stone glowed brightly. Images appeared and they all
stared at them in silence.
Rouge and Tikal bit their lips as they stared at the images.
Amy wasn’t sure what all of them meant.
Chaos turned back to Amy. “In order to trade your tail for a
pair of legs, you will forfeit your voice and every time you step on sand, it
will turn to glass. Such a thing will greatly harm your feet. Do you understand
this little mermaid?”
Amy gulped. “Yes.”
“Do you still wish to make the trade?” Chaos asked sternly.
“Take your time to think it over,” Rouge stated. Tikal
nodded in agreement.
Chaos huffed as he crossed his arms. He leaned against the
stone and stared at Amy.
Amy stared blankly. “You
don’t always need a voice to communicate,” Amy thought it over. “Knuckles said the whole land isn’t made of
sand, so I’ll be able to walk on some parts. I’ll be fine.” Amy took a deep
breath. “I’ll make the trade.”
“Amy! You barely even thought it over?” Tikal shrieked.
“She’s thought it over enough,” Chaos stated. “Now, Master
Emerald, great mystic stone, grant the wish of this little mermaid here. Give
her the legs she so desires.”
The emerald began to glow brightly and the whole cave lite
up with green lightning. A beam hit Amy.
She screamed as she felt the electricity flow through her.
It felt like a sharp spear was tearing into the flesh of her tail. Tears
streamed down her face as she screamed. After a while, Amy’s voice became horse
and then it was gone. Her throat felt like it was collapsing. Amy saw blood in
the water before she passed out.
