Author's Note: Follow/favorite if you like and send me some reviews. It helps feed the sharks.

Also. I decided to skip "The Gracie Code Part 2", and And "Then There Were Four" because I pretty much have burned out of gas on this story. Plus the fact I HATE writing Charlotte! So stay tuned for H2O: Just Add Water X 6 after this last chapter.

Chapter 5: Unfathomable

Location: The Docks, Time: Day of the Fifty Year Full Moon

Eric's POV

It had been several weeks since Lewis and I studied Max's research. Since then, Charlotte found out that Gracie was a mermaid, and what shocked us was that Gracie was Charlotte's grandmother. Charlotte meanwhile had become a mermaid and was sort of a loose cannon. And it seemed to be getting worse. Meanwhile, Lewis broke up with Charlotte when he found out she was bullying Cleo, and Cleo and Lewis got back together.

Me and Lewis were down at the docks with our respective girlfriends who were sending us off to go fishing.

I quickly kissed Jenna and climbed into the boat as Rikki and Emma came down to the dock.

Rikki spoke up to Cleo and Lewis.

"Ah, do you really have to kiss in public?"

"Ah..yes," replied Lewis. "In fact, we do."

Emma walked over.

"We need to get a move on. We got a lot to do before the full moon."

Lewis looked over at the girls.

"Be extra through. I got a theory it's going to be a special one tonight."

Rikki shrugged.

"We can handle anything the full moon throws at us."

Emma said goodbye and began to leave with Rikki.

Cleo kiss Lewis goodbye, and Rikki groaned.

"Ugh, please!"

She grabbed Cleo's arm and pulled her away. Lewis then climbed into the boat.

"Ready?"

I nodded. Soon, we were out fishing. Lewis then suggested we go over to Max's place. Once we arrived we began to study the astrological maps and charts from Max's research.

I looked over to Max.

"Full moon tonight."

"Strongest one for years," added Lewis.

Max nodded.

"How many years?"

Lewis shrugged.

"By our calculations, fifty."

"Exactly fifty," replied Max. "Well done. You two have worked it out."

I smiled.

"We've studied the planetary cycles, just like you did fifty years ago. Everything is falling into place."

Max smiled.

"There's much more you two. Much more."

He began to turn a crank on his solar system model, and the planets began to move.

"When all of the planets line up with the moon, the forces released are extraordinary. "

Lewis looked puzzled.

"I get the increase in gravitational pull..."

Max stopped him.

"Ah, but it's not just the physical force. It's the other stuff."

I walked over to looked at the model.

"The magic."

"Couldn't think of a better word for it either. The stronger the force gets, the greater the magic. And it can take away what it gave."

"You mean the girls powers?"

"Mhmm."

"Like for half a day? Like an eclipse?"

"Forever."

My eyes widened in shock.

Max spoke up.

"So keep the girls away from Mako tonight. Especially the moon pool. That goes for you too, Eric."

Location: Emma's House, Time: Five Minutes before Moon Rise

Lewis and I arrived five minutes before the moon rised. Once we arrived, we found Emma arguing with Ash who arrived before us and Cleo, Rikki, and Jenna watching with worry.

"What is he doing here," I asked.

Rikki looked over.

"Don't worry. Emma will get rid of him before the moon rises."

Lewis watched beeped and he checked it.

"Too late."

As we walked through the house, the four of us heard water flowing. Lewis opened the bathroom door, and saw the tub was filling up with water from the faucet but the lever was off.

I looked at Jenna and she seemed to be frightened slightly.

"What is going on?"

Rikki, Cleo, and I had a moment of realization as we entered the kitchen. The fridge was shaking and rattling, the tea pot was spitting out steam, and Ash was covered head to foot in water.

"Charlotte."

Lewis came into the kitchen and told us he would turn the water main off. Then he ran outside. Suddenly, Cleo's phone buzzed.

"Lewis is going out to Mako Island with Charlotte. We have to go after him."

I turned to Cleo.

"Cleo, it's a full moon out there. We can't go."

"What about you? You're not affected by the moon. You can go."

I shook my head.

"Lewis told me to stay as well."

Suddenly, my phone buzzed. I pulled it out and gasped.

"Oh, no...my fish dad has my mother. He's holding her hostage. I have to go."

I quickly ran out the back door, and onto the dock, jumping into the water with a loud splash. My tail formed and I quickly swam to Mako Island. I pulled myself onto the beach next to my mom's house, and rolled myself around in the sand to dry my tail. Once it was dry, I ran into the house only to find chairs and the table knocked over. A struggle had taken place. Suddenly my phone buzzed again. Somebody was calling. I answered it.

"Hello?"

"Eric?"

"Mom? Are you okay?"

A few gagging sounds were heard, and the voice of my father came onto the line.

"Hello, son."

"I'm not your son. And your not my father."

"But you do have to admit we are some what alike."

"We're nothing alike. Where's my mother?"

"In the moon pool. With me. Oh...and two of your friends. The ones named Lewis and Cleo. You see I've heard all about their little lovers spat, and how Lewis began to date another girl. Oh..and did I mention she works with me? We go back a long ways...I'm her biological father. Which makes her..your half-sister. I was quite upset she didn't have a tail when she was born, but now that she does...we'll rule the world together as father and daughter...and you and your friends will lose your tails and will be powerless to stop us. But as you are my son, I will allow you to challenge me to a duel. On your terms with one condition. We have to use our powers. See who's better merman."

"I challenge you then."

Suddenly, the trap door to the moon pool opened.

"Come on down then."

I slid down the tunnel, dropping my phone on the way, and once I reached the bottom I punched my dad in the face. Meanwhile, Cleo, Emma, Rikki, and Jenna began to battle Charlotte.

As dad and I fought using our powers the moon pool began to bubble. Soon, we were caught in a deadlock. Halfway through our fight, dad picked up the trident and began to use it against me. With our hands both on the trident, the magic began to spark wildly. The whole volcano seemed to shake as the magic flowed through it.

My father looked at me, a wild grin on his face.

"Before I kill you, I will take everything from you. First your friends, and then the one you love."

I grit my teeth, and spoke up, glaring at my dad with a fierce fire in my eyes.

"No. I. Won't. Let. You!"

Suddenly, my body felt electrified, and electricity sparked across my arms, frying my father. He screamed in pain as he let go of the trident, and fell to ground. Charlotte looked over.

"Father!"

This gave the girls the distraction needed to throw her into the pool with their powers. With a loud splash Charlotte fell in. Picking up my father's body, I carried him over to the pool, and threw him in, the magic taking away his powers and his tail as well as Charlotte's. Charlotte surfaced holding his body close to her. She had no tail as did my father.

The next morning, my father was taken away to jail as he was apparently a wanted man in the states.

Later, the five of us were in the juice bar. Jenna was sitting next to me as well as my mother. I felt...guilty...I harmed the man who had a hand..or..a fin in my creation. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have existed.

"I lost control...I didn't mean to harm him.."

Mom took my hand.

"You did what you had to do sweetheart. He was lost anyways. The merman I married was not your father."

I sighed.

"I know, mom."

We walked over to the others as Lewis put Cleo's locket back around her neck. Charlotte had stolen it the other day, and had finally given it back.

"It feels good to have it back," she said.

Emma smiled.

"Where it belongs."

Rikki spoke up and looked over at Charlotte who was sitting in a booth by herself.

"Do you think we can trust her to keep quiet?"

Lewis nodded.

"Yeah. She gave me her word."

I smiled sadly.

"And she promised she wouldn't talk to my father. Correction..our father..."

Rikki sighed.

"This is getting close to be the worst-kept secret of all time."

Emma spoke up.

"And you know what? It's about to become a little bit less secret. I'm telling Ash."

She went over to him, and the two left. A little while later, we all met up at Lewis's secret fishing spot. Ash was there as well as Zane.

Soon, the girls and I ran into the water, and flicked our tails, diving under the water, and speeding away, swimming freely under the H2O.

And that's a wrap. Well..I'm burned out on this story, but as they say the show must go on. Stay tuned for the next chapter of this series, H2O: Just Add Water X 6. Until next time!
