Back in her hideout, Madame Zargarso was viewing the gang collecting the power stone through her crystal ball.

"They actually did it, they actually managed to get the stone for me." she said to herself "I didn't think they'd actually survive. Now to get that stone all to myself."

Zagarso used her magic powers to teleport our heroes back to the throne room, not knowing of their master plan.

The gang soon found themselves back in the throne room.

"I see you have returned with my stone..." said Zagarso. "Now hand it over!"

"Sure, we'll hand it over..." said Jabber "But you'll have to catch us first!"

The Neptune's then started to run with the stone in Jabber's hand.

"Halt! After those rebels!" Zagarso ordered her men.

Zagarso and her men all went after Jabberjaw and his friends. When our heroes were far from the villains, they hid behind a pillar.

"Okay gang, now to put Phase Two of our plan into action!" Biff exclaimed. "Shelly, Bubbles, you go free the slaves! We'll keep running!"

"Sure thing Biffy." Shelly smirked. "Say, how about a kiss for luck, just in case?"

"Sure thing." Biff nodded before he and Shelly shared a kiss.

At that moment, Clamhead saw the guards approaching and turned to the couple.

"Hurry!" He whispered. "The guards are nearby!"

After breaking the kiss, Biff nodded. "Let's go!"

"Hey, don't I get a kiss too, Daniel?" Bubbles asked Daniel.

"No time!" Shelly grabbed Bubbles' arm "Let's go!"

The gang quickly split up before the guards could catch-up with them. While the guys were running away from the guards, the girls made it to the throne room and Zagarso's unguarded mirror.

"Alright." Shelly whispered when they arrived in the unguarded throne room. "Now for some makeup."

Shelly applied some dark aquatic colored makeup on Bubbles, which gave her a bit of a wicked, gothic look. She then handed her a mirror "Take a look, Bubbles!"

Bubbles saw herself in the mirror and was petrified at her reflection.

"Yikes!" she exclaimed. "A witch, Shelly! Run for your life!"

"Don't be stupid, Bubbles." Shelly deadpanned. "Now to fix your outfit and make the allusion complete!"

Bubbles nodded as Shelly lead her to the closet.

Meanwhile, the guards and Zargarso were busy pursuing the boys.

"Faster you morons!" Zagarso snapped at the guards.

The guys were still running away, but noticed that the baddies were catching up to them.

"Abba-babba-babba-They're gaining on us gang!" Clamhead exclaimed. "Faster!"

"Well it's kinda hard when you've got fins instead of feet!" Jabberjaw retorted.

"Guess, we'll have to go to Plan Two!" said Biff. "And that is, playing a little football!"

"Football? Is this a plan or some sort of field game?" Jabber asked, confused.

"No. Now listen!" Biff said as he began explaining his plan as they ran.

"Spit it out, Biff!" Daniel exclaimed. "They're like, gaining on us, yo!"

Biff started to explain "Okay, here's the plan: We will each go in different directions and each toss the stone to each other, so the guards will be thrown off! When they all are distracted, one of us will throw the stone in the air, and they'll run into each other! Thereby, knocking them off their guard!"

"That is like, the most ridiculous plan ever, brah," said Daniel. "But I guess we like, have no choice."

"Anyways, let's keep moving!" Clam said.

The guards then started to get closer and closer to our heroes.

"Come on gang, bail out!" Biff exclaimed.

Jabber, Clamhead and Daniel each split up into different directions, ready to put Biff's plan into action.

Madame Zagarso then saw the stone in Biff's hand.

"He has the stone, get him!" Zagarso ordered the guards.

The guards then started charging right towards Biff, ready to attack him.

"Daniel, catch!" Biff shouted as he tossed the stone like a football to Daniel.

Daniel caught the stone and kept running.

"You fools, now he has that stone!" Zargarso exclaimed as she pointed towards Daniel.

Seeing the guards after him, Daniel quickly tossed the stone to Clam.

"Catch!" He exclaimed.

"I got it! I got it! I got it!" Clamhead chanted as he opened up his arms to catch the stone.

Unfortunately, the stone bounced off of Clamhead's head and started to flying right towards Jabberjaw.

"Jabber, the stone!" Clam shouted.

"Don't worry! I got it!" Jabber shouted back.

He started going long, and caught the stone, which landed right in his fins. The guards then started charging after him until they tackled the anthropomorphic shark, which caused the stone to fly out of his hand.

"Oh no..." he said.

Biff, Clamhead, and Daniel started running after the stone, "I got it! I got it! I got it!"

Unfortunately, they crashed right into each other and the stone landed right in Madame Zagarso's hand.

"No, I have it..." she smirked. "Now, the undersea world will be mine! Guards! Take these prisoners away!"

"Yes, Madame Zagarso!" the guards said in unison.

Meanwhile, the girls were down in the cells with Bubbles dressed up like the sorceress.

"Okay Bubbles, time to put my brilliant plan into action!" said Shelly "Now go behind the screen and let's see how you look!"

"Oh boy, I've never had a screen test before." Bubbles chuckled.

She went behind the screen and she appeared just like Zagarso, only more happy.

"Now say exactly what I tell you, bubblehead." Shelly said as she hid in a vase next to the mirror.

Bubbles nodded as she cleared her throat.

In the mines, the enslaved merfolk were still working like dogs, when Bubbles' image appeared on the screen.

"Hello everyone, this is Madame Sourgrass speaking," she said while listening to Shelly's orders. "Uh, tell the slaves to go home and that they are free, stupidhead."

"We hear and obey..." the slaves said in unison.

Bubbles turned and glanced at Shelly.

Just then, the slaves were free from their evil trance and made a run out of the diamond mines.

At that same time, Madame Zagarso was returning with the stone, when she saw Bubbles' image on the screen in the mines.

"Those two conniving troublemakers have infiltrated my throne room!" she said to herself "I'll see to this, personally!"

Zagarso went to the throne room and chased Bubbles away from the screen, not knowing that Shelly was still hiding in the vase.

"Let's get everybody outta here!" the blonde said as she ran.

"You already told them that, bubblehead!" Shelly said from inside the vase, not knowing what was going on. "Now tell the guards to get the car ready for us!"

Zagarso walked over to the vase and heard everything Shelly said.

When Bubbles didn't respond, Shelly popped her head out of the vase, not knowing Zagarso was in front of it.

"Did you hear me, bubblehead?" she said. "I said to get back behind the screen and-"

"And what?" asked Zagarso.

Shelly, still thinking that Zagarso was Bubbles in disguise, snorted. "Wow! You're dumber than I thought."

"How dumb?" asked Zagarso.

Shelly snorted "You're so dumb, that you couldn't pour milk out of a carton if-"

Zagarso then hissed right at Shelly. "You think you can fool me this easily, eh?"

Shelly gulped. "Uh...yikes!"

She then popped out of the vase and started to run towards the exit.

"Not so fast!" Zagarso said as she magically teleported herself and appeared right in Shelly's way.

O"Oh boy..." Shelly gulped.

Zagarso grabbed Shelly by her shirt. "You have gone and worked my last nerve, young lady! I'm going to get rid you once and for all!"

Zagarso then created a large sphere of magic in her free hand to finish Shelly off. However, the ball of energy dissipated before it reached Shelly.

Zagarso looked around. "Who did that?!"

She turned around to see that it was the rest of the Neptune's, with the decoy stone.

"Get away from her, you witch!" Biff exclaimed as he held the stone in his hand.

"What?" Zagarso asked. "How did you-?"

"Alright Madame Zagarso, I am not going to warn you again, put my girlfriend down or else!" Biff told the sorceress.

"And what pray tell, would that be?" Zagarso raised an eyebrow.

"This!" Biff exclaimed as he pointed the stone right at Zagarso, which started to glow and shot an energy beam, which knocked her out.

Oct 16"Holy cow." Shelly said.

Oct 16"Oh my God, Shelly!" Biff exclaimed as he saw his girlfriend free from Zagarso's grasp.

He handed the stone to Bubbles and ran right over to Shelly, relieved that she was okay.

Oct 16"You alright?" Biff asked as he quickly gave Shelly a hug.

"Perfect timing if you ask me." Shelly said.

"Good, because I will make sure I never let you out of my sight again." Biff said before giving Shelly a kiss.

"So...now what should we do?" Clamhead asked the kiss ended.

"Well I think we should like, bail out before that Zagarso chick wakes up." said Daniel.

"What I wanna know is, how did that stone do what it just did?" Shelly remarked.

"Come on, let's take it back to the car with us." said Biff.

Everyone nodded as they quickly took off for the car. Before getting inside the car, Jabber picked up the real stone and followed his friends to the car.

"Biff quick, start the car!" Shelly exclaimed.

"I'm trying!" Biff said as he turned the keys.

Biff tried turning the keys in the ignition, but the car was taking a while to charge.

"Come on..." Biff grunted as he floored the gas pedals.

Finally, the engine started.

"About time..." Biff said.

"Now let's get out of here." Daniel added.

"And how do we get out?" Clam asked.

"Leave that to me!" Jabberjaw boasted.

Jabber then picked up the stones and used their magic energy to zap the castle's wall, creating a hole in the wall large enough for the car to fly out of.

"Time to split out of here." Daniel said.

"Right away." Biff nodded as he slammed on the gas pedal.

The car quickly picked up speed and sped right through the giant hole.

Our heroes made it out of the castle, and crashed out of the glass dome that the kingdom was being held in. Thereby, causing a massive flood to Madame Zagarso's kingdom. They kept going up the water until they made it back to the surface, safe and sound.

"Oh boy." sighed Clamhead. "I wasn't exactly sure if we were going to make it out of that place."

"Good thing these stones came in handy." Daniel remarked.

"But how could they have helped us and gained all that power?" asked Shelly.

"I dunno," Biff shrugged "When the guards held us down, the fake stone floated right towards us and next thing we knew, it produced energy that made them vanish into thin air."

"Now how could it have done that?" asked Jabber.

"Maybe we are the Chosen Ones and it wanted us to escape?" suggested Bubbles.

"Don't be ridiculous Bubbles, if there was a Chosen One in this group, it would have to be!" Shelly rolled her eyes "After all, I am the star and the most beautiful!"

"Perhaps the witch was mistaken that the fake stone was a fake?" Clam offered.

"Who knows?" Biff shrugged. "One thing's for sure, these stones sure helped us."

"Yeah, like maybe, they posses some sort of awesome power that we don't know about." added Daniel. "We'd better hold onto them just in case."

"Anyways, let's keep going and hopefully, we'll be home in no time." Jabber suggested.

"Hang on gang!" Biff exclaimed.

Biff started up the car, and our heroes were back on their way home. As they felt the ocean breeze, Shelly looked up at the sunset sky.

"Don't worry mama, I'll be home soon..." she thought to herself.

TO BE CONTINUED...
