Out of nowhere, the water began to ascend gradually, swirling in concentric circles like a mesmerizing whirlpool. The gold light from Uma's necklace glowed in the middle of the swirling water
Everyone either mouths were dropped, their eyebrows were furrowed, or they gasped at the sight of the rising whirling water going above their heads. The water continued to swell, growing both taller and wider. Unexpectedly, water splashed towards the boat soaking everyone on it and they all lost their balance as they screamed at the freezing water hitting them. Priscilla tumbled to the floor, her gasps matched by the cold water that now soaked her to the bone
Uma's laugh echoes. Priscilla's arm was placed on her forehead, shielding her eyes from the water. Priscilla's eyes widened when she saw Uma now in the form of a Cecaelia. Just like her mother
Uma sighed loudly, and the crowd quickly gathered at the edge of the boat, peering over the railing to witness her. "True love's kiss won't defeat this," she proclaimed while swaying her arms from side to side. Everyone didn't utter a word as they were in shock. "The world will know my name!" she yelled, then leaned to the side, extending one of her tentacles from the water and swinging it toward the boat. Everyone on the left side of the boat ducks down dodging her hit as they let out a scream
Uma continued her attack, this time aiming for the right side of the boat. Priscilla felt a strong arm pushing her backward, helping her avoid the tentacle. She looked behind her and saw that it was Carlos. With a grateful look and a gentle squeeze of his hand, she silently expressed her thanks
Thunder roared in the background as Mal started to breathe heavily as she walked to an open space. Everyone turned their heads towards the girl, Priscilla saw her eyes glow green as she glared at Uma. Uma responded with sass, placing her hands on her hips and laughing, gesturing for Mal to come at her in a teasing manner. Ben looks at Mal and steps towards her "Mal?" He calls out to her, Priscilla holds on to his arm to keep him from getting any closer to Mal who snaps her head in Ben's direction
Out of the blue, purple smoke emerged, rising and enveloping Mal, leaving those around her in uncertainty as they cautiously stepped back. The thick mist covers Mal entirely from everyone's eyes. Priscilla's eyes widen at the sounds of a roar coming from where Mal stood. Her head shoots up to the sky seeing Mal now formed as a purple dragon, she gasps at the sight as she steps back a bit and Uma laughs at Mal. Priscilla didn't feel scared at the fact Mal just turned into a dragon, no, she was more in awe of the purplenette
Dragon Mal flew to where Uma was, she glanced at the people in the boat before looking back at Uma. She breathed out fire as she roared toward the Cecaelia, Uma moved back avoiding the fire. She lets out a scream as she whips a tentacle towards Mal. Mal dodges it
"Come on, Mal! Let's finish this once and for all!"
Mal breathes out fire as she flies toward Uma, people on the boat move back from the sudden heat of the fire
Uma leans back to the water as she swerves away from the fire. Her gaze remained fixed on Mal as she whipped a tentacle once more, but Mal skillfully dodged it. With a screech, Mal soared over everyone on the boat, causing them to lean back to avoid her. Mal faces Uma again and fire comes out of her mouth, the fire is going straight to Uma so she ducks under the water to avoid it
As Uma comes back to the surface a big wave comes towards the boat. Ben screams out a warning as the wave crashes into the boat. The boat started to swing side to side sending everyone stumbling to the right and then to the left as some screamed at the action. Priscilla held a tight grip on Jay to not fall
As the two mythical creatures battled, everyone remained cautious and stayed away from the railing. Ben, on the other hand, rushed to the edge to get closer to the fight. Out of nowhere, Priscilla heard Ben release a roar-like scream. She observed him coming her way, removing his crown and handing it to her before proceeding to Jay, who helped him take off his jacket. At first, Priscilla frowned in confusion, wondering what Ben was up to. Then, it hit her. She watched in shock as he leaped over the railing into the water "No! Ben!"
But, it was too late as he landed in the water. Priscilla rushed to the edge and leaned over it, watching him disappear under the water. His crown was hanging about the water in Priscilla's grasp as she rested her elbows on the metal of the railing with a hand on her forehead
"This boy is going to kill me" She groans to herself as everyone yells his name as well. Ben appears out of the water now in between Mal and Uma "Mal! Uma!" He called out to the girls as he looked at the two "Stop! Back down!"
Priscilla looks at the three of them now holding the crown tightly with both of her hands. Uma laughs at Ben's words "What are you gonna do, Ben?" Uma placed her hands on her waist as she teased him "Splash me?" She laughed even more as she splashed the water
Mal lowers down to the water behind Ben, in case Uma tried anything "That's enough! It's got to stop! This isn't the answer!" Ben yells as he stares at Uma and then at Mal, Uma's eyes stay on Mal as she sways side to side "The fighting has got to stop! Nobody wins this way! We have to listen and respect each other" The two girls continued to stare at each other as Ben kept going
"It won't be easy, but let's be brave enough to try. Uma, I know you want what is best for the isle" Ben gazed at Uma as he spoke, and he held out his hand towards her "Help me make a difference" Ben stayed quiet as he waited for Uma. Uma eyes went to Ben
Priscilla's gaze traveled away from Ben to Uma, not believing that she would just give up easily. The tension got thicker the second as everyone waited, Mal rose behind Ben as a warning. Uma carefully brought out a tentacle that was curled, she stared at Mal as she did. Mal roars at her once again
Uma brought the single curled tentacle toward Ben's outstretched arm, Mal roared as she did as another warning. Priscilla watched Uma hand something small to Ben's hand. Her eyes furrowed at the sight not believing it. Uma lets out a small and quiet sigh as she gives a small smile to Ben, she turns away from him and goes under the water
Ben stayed in the water deep in his thoughts before swimming back to the boat. Jay slaps Carlos in the arm before the two went to grab the ladder for Ben to climb. Priscilla silently watched the boy swim before glancing at the isle in front of her. She still doesn't believe Uma just giving the fight so easily as she just did
Her thoughts were interrupted as Jay and Carlos threw the ladder down to the side as it splashed against the water. Priscilla looks over the railing to look at Ben climbing up. Beast appeared beside her, he encouraged his son as he climbed up
Ben grabbed his dad's hand and hopped over to the floor of the boat. Everyone clapped for Ben's bravery but Priscilla stayed silent as she still held on to his corns, waiting for Ben to come towards her for it
