Mermaids and Gargoyles: A TLM and Garg Crossover

[UmbrellaFish]

Okay, here's the next chapter, but you have to promise not to laugh at my rhymes/spells. I only recently got into poetry, and I love it, but I'm just not that good at it yet. But here's to hoping you'll enjoy this. And pay good attention because this should play a role in the sequel.

MERMAIDS AND GARGOYLES
CHAPTER FIVE: COLLECTION

“Here seawitch! I have your human!” said Demona as she threw Prince Eric onto the floor.
“Good. Now all I have to do is recite this spell and-” Ursula was interrupted by another voice.
“Not yet, witch!” said the king as he came running at her, sword in hand. Demona guarded Ursula, but Eric escaped out of the cave.
“You’ll regret that human!” said an angry Demona while fighting the king. The king and the previous second in command fought fiercely, with the king coming close to wining the battle.
“Witch! Say a spell to make him still!” Demona order Ursula.

“Freeze and stop
Your silly fight
Arms stop bending
For this night”

Winds swirled in the dark cave and green dust blew all around. But when the dust was gone and the air was still, they could see that the old king was frozen into his position.
“Good! Now steal his soul!” spat Demona.

“One soul for another
A price to be paid
Now begin the exchange”

The king slowly disappeared into nothing as Ursula’s golden locket glowed.
“Now that I have what I want, I’ll give you your reward,” said Ursula.
“Finally,” the tired Demona gasped for air.
“But first, you should get into the water!” said Ursula. Then the huge octopus lady and the tired gargoyle rushed out to the shore.

“Legs you have now
To walk and to run
And wings, you have to glide
But swimming, though
Requires something new
So melt away wings
And legs, and feet
For tonight
You have fins
To meet”

Demona collapsed into the water. She now had a blue gray tail and a pair of fins. But it was not time to marvel over her new transformation. She had a job to do.

It's great thst you're trying new forms of writing.

Some advice though: When using rhymes, try and have a pattern. i.e. ABAB, ABA etc. Also, be careful of word repitition, since poetry is a shorter form, it's more apparent. For example you used stop twice.

Freeze and stop
Your silly fight
Arms stop bending
For this night”

Instead try using a synonym. Example:

"Freeze and cease"
Your silly fight...

Here's links to a rhyming dictionary and a thesaurus. I find they can be REALLY helpful when you're trying to write poetry.

I hope you don't consider this post as "laughing at your poems", because I really enjoyed this chapter, and thought that that your poetry had come really nice imagery to them. Keep working at it!

Thanks WickedElphie, for those tips.

And now for the special Valentines Day chapter! Okay, so it's now so special, and actually it's has the most action of the entire story, but it's probably the best, or one of the best chapters.
The next chapter is the last one, so this is really the climax of the story. But the next chapter will tie things up. And since people have seemed to like this (okay, 2 people, but I figure there's not many TLM/Gargoyles fans out there) I've decided to make a sequel, which will either come out this weekend or the middle of next week.

MERMAIDS AND GARGOYLES
CHAPTER SIX: AMULET

“Here’s the cavern,” said Ariel.
“Creepy,” replied Flounder, looking into the deep, dark space.
“Come on!” Ariel took Flounder by the fin and swam in.
“Ariel…I’m scared,” the frightened little fish said.
“There’s no reason to be scared,” she told him comfortingly.

“Oh yes there is!” came a voice from the darkness. A loud shriek that sounded like a panther ringed through the space and a pair of bright red eyes glared. Demona swam lightening fast at Ariel. The engaged in a hand to hand battle.
With her tail, Ariel hit Demona in the face. Enraged, Demona threw Ariel into the cavern wall. Flounder, seeing this, got a burst of courage. He swam up to the garg-maid and bit her, hard. He then swam out of the cave expecting Demona to follow him. When she did, he began to swim towards the surface. He was about to break through when he looked behind him. The evil demon had turned to stone, and had sunk to the bottom of the sea. They had killed the monster!

But they weren’t done yet. Flounder immediately went back into the cave and checked on Ariel.
“Ariel…Are you okay?” he asked.
“Um… Yes,” she answered, “I’m okay. But where’s the demon?”
“I defeated her Ariel! I swam so fast that she turned to stone!” bragged the little yellow fish.
“Aw! Good for you, Flounder! You saved the day!” she told him as she swam into an upward position. “But we still have a job to finish,” she took his fin in her hand once again and they swam into the heart of the cave.
“I guess the amulet would be here,” said Ariel once they had come to the end of the cave.
“Now, if I were an amulet, where would I hide?” asked the little mermaid, “Behind a rock!”
She swam over to a medium sized rock and looked behind it. Right there she could see a round piece of gold with an “A” on it.

“There it is!” said Ariel as she reached for the piece of wood. “Flounder! We did it! We won!” she cried.
“Yeah, Ariel, I’m still kinda creeped out. Can we go home?” asked the scared little fish.
“Okay,” said Ariel, giggling. Then the two friends swam out of the cave together.

[WickedElphie]

Go Ariel! Bad luck for Demona that the sun had come up, 'cause even though Ariel and Flounder were very brave, they honestly didn't have the experiance to take her down in a fair fight.

Another nice chapter, and I look forward to the resolution.

[UmbrellaFish]

Yeah, when I was writing this chapter, I was like, "How are Ariel and Flounder going to defeat Demona?".

[WickedElphie]

With "sheer dumb luck" of course!

[tnadav1]

Liked the chapter .
Ha,i liked how Flounder killed her thought i think Ariel should've killed her.
Isn't she a mergargoyle? XD.

[UmbrellaFish]

I feel like Ariel sometimes gets too much attention, and who doesn't love Flounder? I'm about to post the next and final chapter.

[tnadav1]

Ah okay (and it's cute how he killed her).
(By the way-did you read the Baby Shower fanfic i worte?).

[UmbrellaFish]

I'm just about to.

[tnadav1]

Yay (i think it's time to start the Disney Princess Switch fanfic).

[UmbrellaFish]

Well, here's the final chapter. This past week has been so much fun and I'm working on a sequel which I can't wait to let you guys read. Have a good day!

MERMAIDS AND GARGOYLES
CHAPTER SEVEN: AFTERMATH

“Here, Mason. Here’s the amulet,” Ariel said as she handed the piece of wood over to the gargoyle.
“Thank you, Ariel and Flounder. You’ve helped my clan protect our civilians. But, I am afraid it is not enough,” said Mason.
“What! But we defeated the demon and retrieved the amulet!” pleaded Ariel.
“Yes, you did kill the demon, and yes, you did retrieve the amulet, which my clan is eternally grateful for, but alas, you didn’t do it before the demon killed the king. Now the prince has sworn revenge on all gargoyles. My clan must leave, or risk being destroyed.”


“I’ll miss you,” said Ariel.
“I’ll miss you, too,” said Flounder.
“I’ll miss you both,” replied the muscular gargoyle as he bent down to hug the two.
“By the way, Ariel,” began the gargoyle, smiling, “my clan would like you to keep this,” he handed Ariel a triton made of gold, “It has the same power as the amulet, but can only be used by people of the sea. Can we trust you to keep it safe?” asked Mason.
Ariel took the triton, “I know just who would want it.”
“Good, good,” said Mason.
Then out of nowhere they heard a loud shriek. Suddenly, something crashed into Mason’s head, almost knocking him over into the water.
“Oh my gosh! Mason are you alright?” asked the startled Ariel.
“Oh, yes, it’s just this bird brain here,” replied Mason.
“Sorry, Mason,” said the white bird, “but the clan wants you back now. It’s time to go!”
“Okay, Scuttle. You can tell the clan I’ll be there soon,” said the gargoyle.
“Hmm… Nice little rock ya got here,” said the scatter-brained bird.
“Hey! I have a great idea! Scuttle, now I know you’re such an essential member to the clan,” said the gargoyle sarcastically, “but why don’t you stay here on this rock and build a nest. I know Ariel would love hearing stories about the humans from you.”
“Oh yes! Yes I would!” said the little mermaid, enthusiastically.
“Fine, then it’s settled! Scuttle will stay here!” rushed the gargoyle as he took off. Mid-air, he called, “Good bye Ariel! Good bye Flounder!”

“Well, hiya Toots!” said Scuttle. “Do you want to hear an interesting story about a whosamacallit?”

THE END

If Eric didn't want revenge, well, then I couldn't do the sequel (hint, hint)... You didn't like how Triton got the triton. I know it's not as good as the theory that he inheirted the triton, but I felt Mason needed a parting gift. What did you think about the inclusion of Scuttle?

I written about 8 chapters of the sequel so far. After I'm done I'll type in on the computer and probably next week I'll post it.

[tnadav1]

Oh,okay .
I liked the inculsion of Scuttle .
Yay .

[UmbrellaFish]

Just finished typing the sequel. If all goes well, the first chapter will come out tomorrow.
