Hiya everyone! I am in the middle of editing this story so that my chapters are longer and the story doesn't have so many short chapters. I'm also dying to get to work on the sequel because it's a Spiritshipping Family story so I want to finish this story soon. For now, hopefully you all enjoy the edits. Oh, and I do not own YGO GX, the Little Mermaid, or the songs I use to help make the chapters longer.

Chapter 1

Out to the Sea

It's a very cloudy, windy afternoon out in the ocean. Seagulls flying above and dolphins playing in the sea. Then a great big ship sails by the playful dolphins and chatting seagulls, the sailors singing as they got work done around the ship, from opening the sails to secure everything on deck.

I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue

And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho

Look out, lad, a mermaid be waiting for you

In mysterious fathoms below

Heave ho

Heave ho

Heave ho

Heave ho

Heave ho

In mysterious fathoms below

Close to the front of the ship where a wooden mermaid is carved into the front, was a young sixteen year old boy with beautiful spiky teal hair and incredible emerald eyes, wearing a sky blue long sleeve shirt with frills at the end of the sleeves with a hint of violet mixed with the blue, blue vest, brown pants, white and some-what brown boots, and holding in his arms is a beautiful and cute purple cat-like creature with huge red eyes, two ears on each side of her head, a red crystal set right in the tip of her tail and a ruby settled on her forehead. Feeling the wind blowing against his face, the teen said with a sigh, "What a perfect day, Ruby! The salty smell of the ocean, the wind against your face."

Ruby, the carbuncle in his arms mewed in agreement. She loves how the wind feels blowing through her soft fur. Turning toward his best friend, the teen said with a smile to his sea-sickened friend, "This is just perfect, Hassleberry!"

Lifting his green head up for a moment, Hassleberry reply, "Yeah, sure, this is great, Jess." then he hurled his head back over the side of the ship. Just watching his best friend get more and more sea sick, Jesse chuckled and Ruby let out a feline giggle as he went over to gently pat him on the back to help him feel some-what better.

Letting a small chuckle, one sailor said as he tightened the rope to one of the sails, "With the wind blowing like this and the waves as gentle, Sheppard must be in a good mood, Prince Jesse."

"Sheppard?" Jesse and Ruby cock their heads to the side in confusion at the name.

Then another sailor, so much older than any of the other sailors aboard the ship, said to the bluenette prince, "He rules the merfolk and he can control the seas. Every sailor whose ever sailed the seven seas know of him."

Finally finished with hurling the last of his lunch thanks to the pat he got from Jesse, Hassleberry came over to the sailor and said to Jesse as he wiped sweat from his forehead, "Now Jess, no need to listen to all of this merpeople crap. They're not real."

"Hey, I've sailed the seven seas and there are real merfolk!" the elder sailor said, unknowingly throwing a fish he had in his hand back out into the sea as he scold Hassleberry about saying that mermaids and mermen were not real.

Having been released and returned to the ocean, the lucky fish let out a sigh of relief and happily swam away from the ship. Life under the surface is a completely different world. From fish swimming around coral to whales silently weaving through the big blue. Not only are there fish, whales, dolphins, squids, and sharks in the sea, for another sea creature lurks in the deep; the merpeople.

In fact, many mermaids and mermen in this particular sea are swimming off to an academy where many young and talented mermaids and mermen attend. Today, there is a great tournament being held at the academy. Actually, it's the semi-finals and the finals at the academy. Four talented mermen will be dueling in the semi-finals and the one who makes it to the finals will duel the most talented merman who ever dueled in the great sea.

And so, with the audience all settled at the tournament, a merman riding a huge silver seahorse, who has long flowing blond hair with a crown made of cut seaweed to appear like a Greek crown, and deep silver eyes cleared his throat and announced with a voice that could be easily heard through out the whole room, no matter where everyone is seated, "The head master of the Duel Academy and ruler of the seven seas, Headmaster Sheppard!"

In seconds a sea-chariot, being pulled by two strong dolphins, came swimming into the large room with the headmaster in the sea-chariot, holding a golden trident. The dolphins pull the sea-chariot to a sea crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, Sheppard uses the trident to light the chandelier, amazing the audience with its bright light.

After smiling at the headmaster as the audience cheer, Honest continued with his announcements, keeping his seahorse steady, "And now, we welcome the one who's been in charge of the duels for a long time. Let us all welcome the Duel Master, Dr. Vellian Crowler!"

With the signal given, a yellow grab riding a gold fish entered the room and had the fish swim up to Sheppard before going to greet the duelists.

Smiling at the Duel Master, Headmaster Sheppard said, "I'm really looking forward to the semi-finals and the finals of this tournament, Crowler."

"Oh yes, this year's finalists have done well." reply Crowler.

"I can't wait to see how Jaden will handle the finalist that will go up against him later in the finals." Sheppard said as he settled in his seat high above the stages and the audience.

"Yes, he does have a great skill as a duelist since he is your star pupil." Riding the fish to the stages where the four duelists are waiting, Crowler said under his breath so no one heard him, "If only he would observe the duels every once in a while."

And so, swimming before the final four, Crowler explained the rules to the four mermen before letting the duels begin. With the rules memorized, the four duelists swam over to the stage they and their opponent were assigned to duel on. With the four finalists ready, the duels began.

After a good couple of hours of the three duels in the semi-finals, a winner was chosen to duel Jaden in the finals; a merman with white bandages over his right eye, an old beat up cowboy hat settled on his black hair, and a tail the color of sand on a beach. This young merman, Jim Cook is good friends with Jaden, so he was looking forward to duel his friend.

But, Jaden is no where in sight, which shocked everyone in the room; the audience, the duelists, Atticus, Jim, Crowler, and Sheppard was more furious than shocked. With his trident glowing with his anger, Sheppard yelled out to the entire sea, "Jaden!"
