EG Mermaids: Just add Magic

by Ctmaley


Chapter 6

The geodes started to glow fainty & so did the purple mermaid's ring.
"What are you doing?" The Purple Mermaid asked her ring.

"Are the geodes reacting to the Trident?" asked Soarin.

"The trident's not glowing." answered Fluttershy.

"Then it's something else." said Sunset.

"What now?" groaned Twilight.

Sunset got up and went to the door, the purple mermaid ran. Sunset opened the door and didn't see anyone. The purple mermaid got far enough away to where her ring and their geodes stopped glowing.

"So what happened to that Calypso person?" asked Applejack.

"When Calypso tried using the full power of the trident, she fired it at my mom who used one of the energy spears that we use to protect ourselves from enemies. 
the energy from the trident collided with the energy from mom's spear and the energy backfied hitting Calypso, which killed her." answered Skystar.

"Dang." said Sandalwood.

"It took my mom a little while to get past it." said Skystar

"Hopefully we can avoid that with this seamare." said Sunset.

"I don't wanna have to use this thing." said Skystar.

Soarin put a hand around Skystar. "It'll be alright." he said.

“I didn’t see anyone out there.” said Sunset.

“If that Seaquestrian was the cause of our geodes glowing then she knows where we & the trident are.” said Rarity.

“What do we do?” asked Fluttershy.

“How about joining us at the beach house we’ve rented.” said Flash.

“Really?” asked Sunset.

“Yeah, some of us will have to share rooms. But If what Rare said was true then we should move you girls & the trident to another place until we catch her.” answered Flash.

“Thank you.” said Sunset.

The purple mermaid ran into a clothes shop, she walked around invisible looking at the clothes. She found a spot to turn visible, she took a yellow top, blue shorts, blue shoes, white socks, purple bra & purple underwear and went into the changing room, put them on, ripped off the tags, turned back invisible, took a plastic bag for her bikini and left.

Once she was far enough away from the store, she found another spot to carefully reveal herself.
“Damn, so they know when I’m close! Calm yourself Nixie, I just have to break into where they’re staying and steal the trident.” Nixie said to herself.

In Seaquestria the guards were searching all over for the seamare. Queen Novo was staring at the broken vault. 
“Your highness we haven’t found the Trident or the attempted thief.” said a male Seaquestrian guard.

“But we won’t stop until we find them.” said a female Seaquestrian guard.

“Thank you, continue your search and please don’t strain yourselves.” said Queen Novo.

“Yes your highness & don’t worry we won't.” said the female Seaquestrian guard.

“I have a feeling of where they are.” Queen Novo said to herself.

The beach house the boys rented was large, it had 8 rooms & 3 bathrooms, the ones sharing rooms were Sunset & Flash, Sandalwood & Thunderlane, Rarity & AJ, Skystar & Silverstream and Flutters & Rainbow, Twilight, Soarin & Pinkie got their own rooms.

The Trident was in the living room, Skystar & Silverstream were sitting on the couch; the Trident was in a corner of the room and Skystar was just staring at it.

“Stop obsessing over it.” said Silverstream.

“It’s intimidating.” said Skystar.

“It’s only intimidating if you allow it to be.” said Silverstream.

Skystar went to grab the Trident and its jewels lit up when she got close to it.
“I feel so much power.” said Skystar.

The Trident got brighter and yellow sparks started coming from its spears.
“Okay Skystar, that's enough.” said Silverstream.

“I could probably find that seamare using this, deal with her and anyone that stands in my way.” said Skystar.

“SKYSTAR!” yelled Silverstream.

Skystar snapped back, the Trident’s jewels stopped glowing & its sparks went away.
“What’s going on?” asked Rarity.

Skystar looked back at everyone else, she leant the Trident back against the wall and walked away from it.
“Okay your right, it’s intimidating.” said Silverstream.

“It was in control, sorry for scaring you.” said Skystar.

“What are we going to do with that thing?” wondered Fluttershy.

Rainbow’s stomach growled. “I know we have an important job, but could we go get some lunch?” she asked.
“We have to go searching for this thief anyway, might as well do it on a full stomach.” said Sunset.

Nixie meanwhile was sitting on the beach, watching the people. She saw a few people surfing, she smiled to herself and used her ring to make the waves crash on the surfers, knocking them off their boards.
“These beings make fun test subjects.” said Nixie.

“Hey our geodes are glowing.” said Twilight, as the group walked back to the pier.

“Split up & be careful, this thief must have some magical artifact that the geodes are sensing.” said Sunset.

They split into three groups: Sunset, Twilight, Fluttershy, Flash & Thunderlane as a group. 
Pinkie, Sandalwood, AJ & Rarity as the second group and then Skystar, Silverstream, Soarin & Rainbow as the third group.

Nixie noticed her ring was lighting up, she turned and saw Skystar, Silverstream, Soarin & Rainbow getting close, Nixie put her ring in her pocket.

“Are we close?” Skystar asked.

“Can’t tell, not like it can talk.” answered Rainbow.

Nixie slowly got up and walked away. “Hey wait.” Rainbow whispered.

“Her?” asked Soarin, pointing at Nixie.

“The thief was a purple seamare.” said Silverstream.

Rainbow took off her necklace, pointed it in Nixie’s direction and the geode got brighter.
“That’s her.” said Rainbow.

Nixie looked back, saw the four following her, put her ring back on and used air to knock them down.
“Where’s the trident?” Nixie asked her ring, and the black spot showed her the way.

Rainbow texted the others that they found the thief, Rainbow turned on her speed and chased Nixie. 
“Not so fast.” said Rainbow, grabbing Nixie’s arm.

“You’re quick, so can’t have you stopping me.” said Nixie.

“What are you going to do?” chuckled Rainbow.
Nixie used her ring and encased Rainbow’s legs in ice. “That good enough?” smirked Nixie and she continued towards the trident.

“Yea that’ll do it.” sighed Rainbow.

“Dash.” said Soarin as the other three caught up.

“Don’t worry, Sunset can thaw me out, get her.” said Rainbow.

Nixie opened the beach house door with air and grinned when she saw the trident.
“Finally!” she cheered when she grabbed the Trident.

“Put it down!” yelled Skystar.

“No Princess, this is my birthright.” said Nixie.

“You’re Calypso’s daughter?” asked Silverstream.

“Yes, I'm Nixie.” answered Nixie.

“Nixie, just calm down & give me the trident.” said Skystar, approaching cautiously.

“No!” said Nixie.

Nixie pushed the other four out of the house, with a big air current.
“Holy smokes.” said Pinkie when the rest arrived.

Sunset conjured a large fireball and threw it at Nixie. Nixie made an energy shield appear to block it.
“Who are you!” thundered Sunset.

“Calypso’s daughter Nixie.” groaned Skystar as she got up.

“Perfect revenge for my mother, is taking care of her killer’s daughter.” said Nixie.

“My mom didn’t mean to kill your mom. It was an accident, the energy from the Trident backfield on her.” said Skystar. 

Nixie made three duplicates of herself. “Nice try princess.” said the Nixies.

The Nixies fired energy from their tridents at the group, and Rarity made a diamond shield around them. 
“Hurry! I can’t hold this forever.” grunted Rarity.

Rainbow glowed in multiple colors, and Rare opened a hole for Dash to run through. 
“You’re really going to try that again.” asked the Nixies.

Rainbow jumped and when she landed, she clapped her hands and made a big wave of air which collided with energy from the tridents & it pushed the Nixies to the ground and made the duplicates disappear.

Before Rainbow could get running again, Nixie blasted Dash with ice, freezing her.
“DASH!” yelled Fluttershy.

“Now that she’s out of the way, we’re were we?” said Nixie getting up.

The large clouds formed in the air. Pinkie then flew up in the air, blue electricity coming off her body, her eyes were a bright solid blue. Pinkie blasted Nixie with a large amount of electricity; Nixie blocked it with an energy shield.

Pinkie’s electricity made the clouds get darker and made loud thunder booms. People ran for cover, as heavy rain started failing.

Nixie didn’t notice the Rain drops around her stop, she was then engulfed in a large water bubble, suspending her in the air & forcing her into her mermaid form.

“AHHHHHH!!” yelled Nixie, she saw Fluttershy’s eyes glowing a solid pink and pink aura around her hands.

Sunset thawed out Dash, “You alright?” asked Sunset.

“C-c-c-cold.” said Rainbow, sitting down.

Sunset wrapped her arms around Rainbow and heated her up. Nixie tried to fire an energy beam at Fluttershy, but Pinkie zapped the water bubble before she could.

“OWW!!” groaned Nixie when she got zapped.

Nixie dropped the Trident and Twilight brought the Trident to them with her magic. Skystar grabbed the trident, Fluttershy dropped Nixie and she hit the ground with a painful thud & turned back to her human form.

Nixie was levitated by Twilight, Skystar took a deep breath and used the trident to encase Nixie’s legs in Ice.

Twilight took Nixie’s ring with her magic.
“So are you going to follow in your mother’s footsteps?” asked Nixie.

“No! It’s over.” said Skystar.

Soon Queen Novo arrived with a few of her guards.
“You all did a wonderful job.” said Queen Novo.

“Thanks.” said Sunset.

“Catching bad guys is our specialty.” said Rainbow.

“Mom can I stay here?” asked Skystar.

“Why?” asked Queen Novo.

“I’ve just had a lot of fun here & umm..” answered Skystar.

Queen Novo looked at Soarin and saw him look away. “I see, I request that you please come and visit me.” said Novo.

“Does that mean yes?” Skystar smiled.

“Yes.” said Queen Novo & Skystar hugged her mother.

Skystar broke the hug. “Here’s the Trident back.” she said.

“I think it’ll be safer with all of you.” said Queen Novo.

Queen Novo & Guards then walked to the ocean with Nixie in handcuffs.
“I was very depressed & full of guilt when your mother died.” Queen Novo said to Nixie.

Nixie looked down as they went into the ocean & back to seaquestria.
“Now about lunch.” said Rainbow, making the rest laugh.

“Alright.” chuckled Sunset, they went to get food and enjoy the rest of their vacation.
