The Little Mermaid: Cartoon Crossover Style Chapter 11: Fight to the Finish!

''' Chapter 11: Fight to the Finish! '''

Later, Cackletta was swimming through a barren part of the ocean, holding mermaid Peach. Beldam, Marilyn, Fawful, and Doopliss were there to greet her.

Cackletta then looked at the blond-haired mermaid with an evil smirk. “Poor little princess.” The green-skinned witch said in sarcastic sympathy. “Lucky for you, it’s not you that I want. No, the one I’m after is a much bigger fish.”

Peach gasped in realization; she knew what Cackletta meant. “You mean you’ve been using me as bait to reel in my father? ” She asked in shock.

“That’s right, sweetheart.” Cackletta said, chuckling evilly.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Because.”

“What do you care about overthrowing my father?”

“Because.”

“Why are you only saying because in response?” Peach asked, a bit annoyed.

Before Cackletta could answer, however…

“Cackletta, STOP!” A familiar voice ordered angrily.

Cackletta turned and saw Kakashi right in front of her, pointing his trident in her face. Toadsworth, Toad, Toadette, and Peach’s friends were right there next to him, with looks of determination. Despite being confronted, however, Cackletta wasn’t the least bit shocked.

“Why, King Kakashi.” The vampire-like witch said with a chuckle. “How are you?”

“Don’t how are you, King Kakashi me! Let my daughter go!” The white-haired king ordered angrily.

Cackletta just laughed. “Yeah; I’ll do that when land pigs learn to swim! She’s mine now! You see; we made a deal!” Upon saying that, Cackletta pulled out the same contract that Peach signed the day she became a human.

“Yeah. A deal you cheated on, you witch!” Riku snapped angrily.

“Daddy, I’m sorry!” Peach cried sadly as Beldam, Marilyn, Doopliss, and Fawful kept a hold on her. “I didn’t mean it! I didn’t know!”

Her father glared at the contract and aimed his trident at it. He then fired a laser at the contact, but to his shock, the laser didn’t even make a tear in the contact. Cackletta just cackled evilly.

“You see? The contact’s legal, waterproof, binding and completely unbreakable, even for YOU!” The sea witch said.

“Of course, I am a girl with an eye for a bargain. The daughter of the great sea king is a precious commodity.”

At that moment, the contract turned into a sphere of light. It then went towards Peach, and it trapped her in a swirling vortex, and she gasped as she went downward. Just then, to the good guys’ shock, Peach slowly started turning into a Heartless.

“But… I’m willing to exchange her for something or someone even better.” Cackletta concluded, glancing at Kakashi.

Toadsworth then gasped. “Your Majesty! Don’t do it! ” He exclaimed.

“I’m sorry, Toadsworth, but I can’t let my daughter get hurt.” The sea king told him sadly.

Back on the ship, Mario was standing on the railing on the side of the ship. The plumber was clad once again in his trademark attire and he held his Keyblade. He was just about to dive into the water when Bloo and Eduardo came up to him.

“Mario! What are you doing?” Bloo demanded.

“Bloo, I lost-a her once! I’m not-a gonna let that-a happen again!” Mario answered sternly.

“Ay carumba. You really love Peach, don’t you?” Eduardo asked.

“Of course-a I do!” The red-clad plumber responded. And just as he got ready to jump in, Eduardo grabbed his arm.

“Hold on, Señor Mario. We es going with you to help!” The purple-furred beast said.

“Well, we can’t go in looking like this! I got to transform ourselves into sea creatures if were gonna save Peach and King Kakashi.” Bloo said. “And if ya ask me, I’m guessing that Luigi’s got a bet to pay Jumba.”

Mario looked unsure at first, but he then nodded. “Okay! Let’s-a go!”

At that moment, when the trio was about to jump in…

“Hold on, guys! We’re going with you!” A familiar voice exclaimed.

The three turned to see Lilo, Stitch, Scorpio (Experiment 627), Shuzco (Experiment 628), Angel (Experiment 624), Reuben (625) and Wizard (635) standing there.

(A/N: Shuzco and Wizard are my original characters.)

“What?! Uh-uh! No way! You guys are not coming along! You could get killed cause this mission is too dangerous!” Bloo scolded.

Mario then knelt down to Bloo’s level. “C’mon-a, Bloo. They just wanna help.” The red-hatted plumber urged.

The blue blob scowled, and then let out a frustrated sigh. “Fine! You can come along! But for a heads-up, if Nani asks, it’s not my fault!”

The ten then jumped into the sea. Before they actually hit the water, Bloo and Wizard waved their staffs, and the group started to glow.

Back underwater, Peach was just about almost finished with being turned into a Heartless. Cackletta was holding the contract in front of herself to Kakashi.

“Now… do we have a deal?” Cackletta asked with a smirk.

With a sad look on his face, Kakashi nodded. He then aimed his trident at the contract while he turned his head away. As that happened, a blue laser fired from the tip of the trident, and at the contract. In an instant, the words Princess Peach Toadstool changed to King Kakashi Hatake.

“Ha! It’s done then!” The vampire-like witch exclaimed.

Suddenly, Peach reverted back to her original self. Then, to everyone’s shock and horror, a yellow-glowing vortex surrounded Kakashi, and he began to turn into a Heartless.

“Daddy, no!” Peach cried in horror as Cackletta laughed manically.

After a while, the swirling vortex faded away. Now what stood in Kakashi’s place was a shadow Heartless. His headband lay at his feet with the trident next to his side.

“Your Majesty…” Toadsworth groaned.

“We’re so sorry.” Toad and Toadette said sadly in unison.

“At last… it’s mine!” Cackletta exclaimed in delight as she took the discarded headband and placed it on her head. “After all these years, it’s mine!!” The witch then picked up the trident and began to chuckle fiendishly as the trident began to glow.

Peach looked sadly at her now Heartless father, and she looked at the sea witch (whose chuckle turned into derisive laughter) with rage in her eyes. “You…you monster!” The blond-haired mermaid yelled angrily as she swam at Cackletta.

All that happened to Peach was that she got tossed at a rock. “Don’t mess with me, you keyblade-holding prince/plumber loving little BRAT!” The green-skinned witch snapped angrily, and on BRAT, she pointed the trident at Peach, nearly jabbing her. “Contact or no contract, I can still blast…”

Suddenly, a red blur swam really fast by Cackletta, scratching her across the arm and drawing a bit of green blood. “AH!” The sea witch screeched, clutching her arm where it was bleeding. “Who did that?”

“That was-a me! ” A familiar voice exclaimed.

Cackletta turned around angrily to see Mario and the gang there in underwater forms. Mario was now a merman with a red tail, Bloo was an octo-blob (in which he had his same upper body and his lower body was replaced with six octopus tentacles), and Eduardo was now a purple fish about the same length as Mario. Like Bloo, Stitch, Angel, Wizard, and Shuzco’s lower bodies were replaced with six octopus tentacles; except Angel’s tentacles were pink, Wizard’s tentacles were golden brown, and Shuzco’s tentacles were black, and there was a shark-like dorsal fin on his back. Scorpio had a red mer-tail like Mario, and a red shark-like dorsal fin on his back like Shuzco while Reuben was now a sea turtle with his shell being the same color as his fur. Finally, Lilo was now a mermaid with a red top, and a green tail.

“Why, you little fools!” Cackletta growled angrily.

“Mario! Look out!” Peach cried out.

Cackletta then summoned a cavalry of Heartless. “After them!” The witch ordered, pointing to Mario’s group.

With that, Heartless went after the gang and surrounded them. A bolt tower then used its catch beam on Mario, trapping the mer-plumber.

“Come on!” Toadsworth yelled as he and Peach’s friends charged towards the Heartless.

Toadsworth whacked a Heartless on the head with his cane while Sora used a powerful Keyblade combo on the Bolt Tower, killing it as it let go of Mario. Soon enough, Bloo, Wizard, and Donald started using their magic on some of the Heartless, killing more of them. Meanwhile, Eduardo and Goofy blocked and countered every attack that the Heartless tried on them with their shields and the other good guys fought the Heartless with everything they had. The group did their best to fight off the Heartless, but soon it was clear that they were still outnumbered.

“Hang on, Peach! We’ll save you!” Stitch shouted as he, Reuben, Angel, Scorpio, Wizard and Shuzco swam towards Cackletta.

“You pathetic creatures!” Cackletta growled as her trident began to glow, “AVADA KEDAVRA!”

Then, a green light shot from the trident towards the undersea experiments.

“Stitch! Guys! LOOK OUT!” Lilo shouted as she pushed Stitch and the others out of the way, but then she screamed bloodcurdlingly as the blast hits her.

“LILO!” Stitch screamed.

Then, Lilo went limp and she started floating like a dead fish.

“I told you it’s a bad idea to bring Lilo!” Bloo said to Mario.

“Oh, shut-a up!” Mario snapped.

“Say goodbye to your sweetheart.” Cackletta said evilly to Peach while aiming the trident (which began to glow again) at Mario’s group.

Peach gasped in horror. Then, all of a sudden, the mermaid swam right up to the witch and pulled on her horns, making Cackletta scream in pain. This also caused the witch to miss and fire at the Heartless, destroying them. Cackletta’s lackeys looked on in shock at this, especially Cackletta who just recovered from having her horns pulled. The villain gasped.

“My Heartless!” She yelled as she looked over the damage. “My, poor, beautiful Heartless!”

The witch then glared angrily at Mario and Peach with evil pink and yellow striped eyes while growling with anger. The two lovers then swam up to the surface as fast as their fins could carry them. As Cackletta snarled angrily, she became engulfed in a cloud of smoke while Peach’s friends looked on in fright.

“Uh- I quit!” Beldam exclaimed in panic, slithering away immediately.

“Duh- wait for me!” Marilyn exclaimed, slithering off after Beldam.

Meanwhile, Sora looked towards Donald and Goofy. “C’mon, guys! Mario and Peach will need our help!” The spiky-haired boy exclaimed.

Sora’s companions nodded, and the three swam up to the surface with Bloo and Eduardo following. What they didn’t know was that this would be the biggest battle of their lives…

Up on the surface, Mario and Peach swam up to each other and embraced.

“Mario, you’ve gotta get outta here!” Peach said to her love.

“No! I won’t-a leave you!” Mario protested.

Suddenly, the water underneath them began to glow and bubble. Then, something emerged from the water and rose up, knocking Peach and Mario back. The two then looked up in horror to see that the shape before them was none other than Cackletta, who was now the size of King Kong, and the witch began to sing.

(A/N: The upcoming song is a spoiler for the Ursula fight for those who haven’t played KH II yet, except Cackletta is still Ursula.)

Cackletta: This witch is back to bring her wrath upon the sea

Kakashi can’t get rid of me, not that easily

And like all who dare defy me, they will learn their lesson well

Never toy with a girl like me

Sora, Donald, Goofy, Bloo, and Eduardo then came up to the surface as Mario came over to them. They then looked up at the sea witch.

“You got what you deserved!” Sora exclaimed angrily as he pointed up at her.

Without warning, Doopliss jumped out of the water, and tackled Sora, bringing him under. Then, Fawful came up right behind Mario, and grabbed him with a mechanical hand, and brought him under, too.

“Doopliss! And Fawful!” Cackletta shouted.

Cackletta: Loyal darlings strong as the tide

(Underwater, Mario was struggling to get free of Fawful’s grasp, same with Sora struggling from Doopliss’s grip. Then, Bloo and Eduardo came underwater and whacked Fawful on the head with their weapons, causing the lackey to let go of Mario. Donald and Goofy did the same to Doopliss, forcing him to let go of Sora.)

Sweetest poopsies, hasten to my side

'Right now! Mommy needs you'

(Doopliss and Fawful then began running (or in the case of being underwater, swimming) for their lives as Mario and Sora chased them, Keyblades in hand.)

Crush those stupid fools

Make them writhe!

“I don’t think-a so!” Mario remarked.

The two keybearers then swam up in front of the two evil sidekicks, blocking their path. Doopliss and Fawful then swam the other way, screaming. Mario and Sora then aimed their Keyblades at the baddies, and each fired a blue fireball at them, destroying the villainous lackeys instantly.

“All right!” Sora exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Mickey swam up to Lilo’s dead body with his Keyblade ready.

“Light, give me power!” He shouted as his Keyblade began glowing. Then he fired a golden ball of light to Lilo’s corpse.

Up on the surface, Cackletta was waving the trident around like she was a madwoman. At that moment, Mario came back up to the surface, but ducked when Cackletta almost hit him.

Cackletta: What a feeble human, No, I can’t believe my eyes

Such a stubborn royal who is fighting for his prize

(As she continued singing, Cackletta looked at Peach with a wicked grin.)

Without your precious mermaid, now, you’re crazy with revenge

I suppose I’ll sympathize

The witch then swung the trident at Peach, who luckily dodged it by ducking.

“I’m not-a gonna lose her!” Mario shouted angrily.

“Right! We’re with you all the way!” Sora agreed, leaping up into the air.

The keybearer then fired a blue beam at Cackletta, but the sea witch blocked it with the trident. “Doopliss! And Fawful!” Cackletta called out to her minions, unaware of their deaths.

Cackletta: Loyal darlings strong as the tide

Sweetest poopsies, hasten to my side

(Donald and Goofy leapt out of the water and smacked the villain in the face, annoying her before jumping back into the water.)

'Right now! Mommy needs you'

Smash those stupid fools!

Make them writhe!

“Sorry, ‘Mommy’!” Bloo called out, mocking Cackletta and gesturing with his fingers on mommy.

“Your poopsies es toast!” Eduardo said, chuckling in amusement.

Upon hearing this, Cackletta got furious and began waving the trident again. The heroes managed to dodge the attack.

Cackletta: 'This is not the end my ‘dears’. I swear I’ve just begun'

It’s not over until Cackletta has won!

As soon as the song ended, Mario leapt out of the water with his Keyblade in hand. “That’s-a what you think! The plumber shouted. Bloo, Ed! Now!”

At that moment, Bloo and Eduardo leapt out of the water, but before the three could do anything…

“Gotcha!” Cackletta exclaimed evilly, and in an instant, she trapped Mario, Bloo, and Eduardo each in a yellow bubble.

Peach watched in horror as Mario cried out in agony when his tail split into two and became human legs. After a flash of light, Mario, Bloo, and Eduardo reverted back to their old forms. The red-clad plumber was clad again in his trademark outfit; Eduardo the same. As soon as the three were reverted to their old forms, the bubbles that trapped them popped, and the trio fell to the ocean below them.

“NO FAIR!” Bloo shouted before he, Mario, and Eduardo hit the water.

Peach then swam over to where the group was, who then resurfaced. At that same time, the four heard Cackletta laughing evilly as her voice became deeper and booming. They looked up at the gigantic witch in fear as Peach and Mario embraced.

“Mamma mia! I forgot-a to say this before, but-a that witch is now big enough-a to have her own-a zip code!” Mario exclaimed, commenting Cackletta’s size.

“Actually, she’s big enough to have her own orbit!” Bloo added.

“No; she es big enough to have her own satellite!” Eduardo exclaimed in fear.

“Then again, she’s big enough to have her own Netjets!” Peach exclaimed in fear.

The others looked at her in confusion. “Her own-a what?” Mario asked, raising an eyebrow.

Peach then giggled. “Sorry. Guess I got carried away.”

(A/N: The previous dialogue was the exact same thing DBV and his family said when commenting on Ursula’s size when they last watched The Little Mermaid.)

“You pitiful, INSIGNIFCANT FOOLS!” Cackletta yelled evilly to the four in her now booming voice.

“LOOK OUT!” Bloo shouted, pointing up.

The four swam out of the way before Cackletta brought the trident down on them.

“Now I am the ruler of all the ocean!” The huge witch exclaimed as she waved the trident around, literally stirring up a violent storm. “The waves obey my every whim!”

As the waves got stronger, Mario, Bloo, and Eduardo got separated from Peach. “MARIO!” The mermaid cried.

The red-clad plumber and his companions screamed as they got tumbled in the waves. Peach saw this and looked horrified, and she looked up at Cackletta with the same look.

“The sea and all its spoils BOW TO MY POWER!” The witch shouted, putting the trident into the water and she stirred the water around until she made a whirlpool.

This whirlpool was so strong that it caused many shipwrecks from underwater to be brought up to the surface. When a shipwreck nearly hit Peach, she swam over to a rock and held onto it for dear life. At that moment, Mario, Bloo, and Eduardo resurfaced just as a shipwrecked version of the S.S. Brass was coming their way. The blue blob turned to notice this and gasped.

“BACK UNDERWATER!” He shouted. And with that, the three went underwater just before they could get run over by the shipwreck.

“Mario.” Peach muttered sadly as she looked on in horror.

Underwater, Mario noticed a rope, and he and his two companions swam up to the side of the S.S. Brass. The red-clad plumber then grabbed hold of the rope, and Eduardo grabbed Mario’s hand to hold on, and Bloo grabbed Eds arm, and hung on for his dearest life. Soon enough, they reached the top of the deck, gasping for air.

Meanwhile, Cackletta turned towards Peach, who was still hanging onto the rock. The sea witch then blasted at the rock, destroying. This also caused Peach to fall to the bottom of the whirlpool below, screaming.

Back on the S.S. Brass, Mario saw the stem of the ship and got an idea. “Bloo, Ed! I got an idea!”

The red-clad plumber then pointed to the stem of the ship, and Bloo smiled. “So what you’re saying is if we destroy the witch, then her tyranny will come to an end?”

“True. And I’ve-a seen it done in-a The Little Mermaid.” Mario added with a nod.

The three then rushed up to the stem, enduring the strong waves that hit the ship.

Back with Peach, the mermaid looked up from the sandy dry bottom of the whirlpool. Above the whirlpool was Cackletta, who was grinning wickedly. The green-skinned witch then aimed the trident at Peach and fired blast after blast at the mermaid. As Peach dodged every blast, she cried out.

Back on the S.S. Brass, Mario had just finished tying his Keyblade to the stem of the ship with some black leather rope, provided by Bloo.

“Hey-a, Bloo. Where’d you get-a this rope? It’s pretty good at-a tying things down.” The plumber asked, looking at Bloo.

The blue blob-like friend sweatdropped upon hearing Mario’s question. Uh- well- you see Bloo then pointed to Eduardo, whose belt was gone. The purple-furred monsters pants then fell down, revealing his blue boxer shorts with little Eduardo’s on them, making Ed blush in embarrassment.

“I had-a to ask.” Mario groaned.

The red-clad plumber then rushed over to the steering wheel and steered in Cackletta’s direction. The witch was not paying any attention to the S.S. Brass coming her way as she raised the trident while laughing derisively.

“So much for true love!” The witch shouted triumphantly as she got ready to thrust the trident at Peach.

Peach’s eyes widened in horror and she knew her fate was soon going to be concealed. Before Cackletta could finish the mermaid off, she heard the following shout: “Hey, Cackletta! SHUT UP!”

The witch turned around to see the S.S. Brass coming her way, and her eyes widened in horror. Then, suddenly, a familiar scream of anger was heard.

“I’M COMIIIIIIIIIING!” screamed a familiar voice, which came from a young mermaid that got out of the water and flew towards Cackletta while revealing a Keyblade and pointed it at her. It was Lilo, revived from Mickey’s reviving power!

“LILO!” Mario exclaimed excitedly.

And just then, Cackletta got impaled on the ship’s stem at the same time Lilo thrusted her Keyblade into her heart real hard. Cackletta let out a scream of pain. Then, electricity and power began to overflow her. As the witch let out one last scream, she exploded, and the impact knocked Mario and his companions off of the ship. Lilo was knocked away as well while changing from a mermaid to her normal self. A while later, Mario and his companions walked up onto the shore, exhausted and their outfits tattered. The three then collapsed, unconscious, not before Mario dropped his Keyblade. At the same time, Lilo was gonna collapse onshore as well, but Stitch, Scorpio, Angel, Reuben, Shuzco and Wizard, who all turned back to normal, ran onshore and Stitch caught Lilo.

With the witch now destroyed, everything went back to normal. The merpeople changed back from their Heartless forms in Cackletta’s lair. Also, at the same time, King Kakashi reverted from his Heartless form, and gained back his trident and headband. From underneath his mask, the king smiled, knowing things were truly back to normal.
