[soft upbeat music]

Yum, yum.

Check this Creative Force.

? Waaah haaaa!

? Yeah!

[magical music]

[bowl shattering]

[tense dramatic music]

[nervous chuckling]

? Ahhhh! Uh-oh!

[magical music]

[patrons cheering]

I was gonna eat that.

[slurping]

Ugh. Astra? Hello?

A little acknowledgement of my fabulous break-it,

fix-it singing powers?

Ah, I'm sorry, Squishella.

I'm just worried about Pearl Girl.

Something's wrong with her, and I don't know what it is.

And now that the locket's connection is broken,

we're back to square one again.

[Squishella]. Don't worry.

We're gonna get her back.

It'll be easy now that we all have these amazing powers.

Um, not all of us have amazing powers,

but we are an unstoppable team.

Together we can do anything!

Help! Help!

That Bat-Fish stole my purse!

Halt! In the name of...

Ah!

[gasps] Mermicornos, follow me!

[mysterious music]

I need that noodle.

[magical music]

[mysterious music]

?

Looks like I put this thief on ice.

Let's get this Bat-Fish outta here.

It would be my pleasure.

[Nautique humming]

[action music]

Broken strap?

I can fix that.

? Oh Oh Ohhhhh

? Ahhhhhhhh

[action music]

[crowd cheering]

[sighing]

[Astra]. You're right!

With all our new powers,

we really are unstoppable!

Hooves in!

And hands, of course.

[magical music]

[nervous laughing] Yay.

[upbeat rock music]

? Mermicornos! Let's unite!

? Creative forces we'll ignite!

? Magic is the key

? In the undersea

? We're gonna set the world alight ?

Yuss!

? Mermicorno!

? Starfall!

? Mermicorno!

? Starfall!

[Mermicornos cheering]

[sighing]

Mind if I sit here?

[sighing]

Do you ever feel left out?

Well, I do.

All my friends have amazing powers.

Astra's talismans,

Gwen's ice sculptures,

Nautique's dancing,

and now Squishella's singing!

Everyone can do

something incredible,

but me.

Sure, I have a cool tail and wings,

but that's not a power-power

like they have.

How can I help find my dad or Pearl Girl

if I don't have any powers?

[sighing]

[upbeat music]

[Kameko]. You're right.

I can't just sit here worrying.

I've gotta find a way

to be a useful part of the group.

You're a good listener.

I like you.

Think. How can we-

[Kameko clears throat]

Please meet my new sea slug, Sluglas.

We just met,

but it's like we've known each other forever.

That's great!

But we're kind of in the middle of something.

We need to get to Pearl Girl.

But with the trail to Ika's lair wiped away,

and no connection through the locket,

where do we start?

Oh, it's like trying to find a single guppy

in a school of fish.

Oh! We'll hit the streets of Octokyo!

We'll go fish by fish,

asking hard questions, getting tough answers!

Or we can offer a reward

to anyone who knows where Ika lives!

Maybe it could be a cake.

Maybe it could be many cakes.

[Nautique]. Mmm, that would take ages,

and a lot of cake.

Remember, Octokyo has a huge population of sea-tizens.

[chuckling] Oh, Nautique.

Sea-tizens sounds so impersonal.

I prefer current fans and future fans.

Right! Squishella and Nautique used to live here.

Is there somewhere we could go to learn about Ika?

Or our past or anything?

Hmm. [gasps]

Squish, what about that book you had after the Starfall?

Please.

Like anyone's ever learned anything from a book.

Um, back up. What book?

After the Starfall,

Squishella woke up holding a book,

but she pawned it at a collector shop.

You had something from your past and you sold it? Why?

I had to!

It was an emergency!

She wanted to buy a Popstar Princess tiara.

Ah-ah-ah!

A limited edition tiara.

She only makes 10,000 of those a year.

The book's a great lead!

Come on, Mermi-crew.

Let's roll!

Okay, they didn't like my ideas.

But I can find another way to help!

[Royal Mother Pearl]. Thanks to Astra,

we know Ika Inkblot and his Squidions

are behind the attacks.

And thanks to us,

we know they're attacking towns near the fallen stars

of the Pegasus and Pisces Constellations.

So that's one gold star for us,

and another for Astra when she returns. [chuckles]

I'll make a note of it.

We should evacuate any towns near the stars

before the Squidions strike.

We can move the sea-tizens into the palace

until we've defeated Ika.

We'll put extra guards around our own star

to make sure it's safe.

Excellent ideas, Barb!

Another gold star for you.

But how will we transport them safely?

There'll be many sea-tizens.

Our guards can't defend them all and fight the Squidions.

[Baby Bones giggling]

Look! Bubbles!

Oh, how delightful!

Mmm, and distracting.

I'd love to play, Baby Bones, but I have too much to do.

Okay.

I'll just go play all alone.

Nonsense!

Barb, let's think on our predicament

and meet up later.

In the meantime,

take the afternoon to play with Baby Bones.

Yay! Hide-and-seek!

Oh, sure, yeah.

How hard could it be?

Uh, we'll start with an efficient game of hide-and-seek,

and then list options for future activities afterwards.

Perfect!

Sounds like you really know your babies.

Have fun!

Okay, time for hide-and-seek.

Okay. Baby Bones?

Ha. Where'd you go now?

Whoa.

[regal music]

[Kitty Von Snobtail]. Oh, hello.

Welcome to Kitty's Antiquarium.

Home of the ocean's most intriguing curios.

I am Kitty Von Snobtail, and you...

are not.

Consult the rules before going any further.

"No food, no drinks, no pets.

"And keep your grubby fins to yourself

"because everything here is more precious than you."

Eh, charming.

Kameko, you might wanna leave your slug outside.

Don't worry about Sluglas.

I've trained him to sit and stay.

See?

I promise, he won't be any trouble at all.

So, what brings you to my collection of treasured relics?

Obviously you remember me.

Hmm.

Squishella?

Singing sensation?

Fresh off a fabulous performance at the Clamshell Bandshell?

Anyway, a while ago I pawned a book here

and I'd like to buy it back.

Oh, I recall no such thing.

There it is! Over your shoulder.

[dramatic music]

Ow!

There is a book, but it's not for sale.

Why not?

Because it is much too valuable.

It's written in a strange language that,

according to my studies,

was used by the mythical Mermicornos.

Here's the thing, Ms. Von Snobtail.

We are Mermicornos!

[Kitty Von Snobtail]. Oh. [cackling]

Oh my.

You expect me to believe that?

I am an expert on the lore of the ocean.

And I can tell you no one has seen a Mermicorno

in a thousand years.

Could we just have a tiny peek?

We'll take the utmost caution.

Sluglas?

Oh no. Not good.

We need to see that book.

We can't leave without it.

The more you want that book,

the more I want to keep it.

[sputtering] Oops!

[gasping]

In my defence,

I did not know they could do that.

[tense music]

You dare bring a pet in my shop?!

Uh, not a pet.

More of an associate? An acquaintance?

We don't like labels. Ha ha.

Out! Out, out, out, out, out!

And consider yourselves banned for life!

You're on the hook, my little guppies.

Let's see if you take my bait.

[tense dramatic music]

Oh! The nerve of Kitty to keep my book.

I never would've sold it if I knew it was worth something!

Well, I would have,

but I would've asked for way more money.

I'm sorry I got us kicked out.

It's okay, Kameko.

You didn't mean to.

But we have to figure out how we're going to get that book.

[nails scratching]

Gwen! Could you not have found a better way

to get our attention?

Probably. Look, we can't cry over broken vases.

If we want that book,

we gotta go in there and get it.

Heist-style.

[Astra]. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Absolutely not! That is stealing!

Well, what if we just borrow the book?

Once we find the information we need,

we'll put it back.

Think of it as a borrow-heist.

As long as it's a borrow-heist.

[Gwen]. It's not gonna be easy!

I scoped out the shop while Kameko was spring cleaning.

[snickers] Snobtail's maxed out her security.

Once we get in the front door,

the whole place is rigged with traps.

Sensors activate nets that fly out of the wall

to trap intruders!

Then there's a network of crisscrossing lasers,

which'll singe any fish trying to get close!

And finally, the security screen itself.

Super strong glass.

[yelps]

[Gwen]. Only way through it

is to deactivate it.

Sluglas!

You slimed my sketches, dude!

[Kameko]. Uh, sorry.

We're working on that.

Ahem! I'm pretty sure

we can disarm the traps and take-

Borrow!

[growls] Borrow the book.

But it's gonna take all of our Creative Forces.

So let's get to work!

Ugh. This is bad, Sluglas!

We need to find a way to get in on this plan

and make up for what happened before.

No, no, it was my fault!

I should have kept a better eye on you.

[indistinct cross-talking]

All right. Let's review from the top.

Hmm. While they come up with their plan,

we'll come up with our own way to help!

You with me? [giggles]

All right.

[Gwen]. I think we've got it!

Let's talk it through.

I'll forge a skeleton key out of ice to get us in the front door.

Did you know sea slugs have no bones?

Sluglas could slip right through the keyhole

and scope it out!

[groans] Nice thought, Kameko,

but I already scoped it out.

[Astra]. Once we're inside,

I'll create a barrier to stop those pesky nets.

Sluglas could slime the net!

As we now know,

slug slime is very powerful.

It's also kind of disintegrate-y.

And I'll use my dance to disarm the lasers.

Sluglas could help with that!

I don't know what kind of dancer he is,

but he seems very flexible.

We all agree sea slugs are fascinating,

but right now we need to focus on the plan.

Then saving the best for last,

I'll use my highest frequency break-it note

to shatter the glass security screen.

Allowing us to grab the book and swim for it!

Ahem! You mean borrow the book,

quickly skim it for info,

and then carefully put it back.

Ah, sea potato, sea po-tah-to.

And that covers it!

[cheering]

And, and I will-

Kameko? These ideas are really great,

but we already have a plan.

And we have a really important role for you and Sluggy!

It's Sluglas.

And we're pumped!

[echoing] Lookout?

Shhh! We can't draw attention to ourselves!

But that's not even a real job!

It's just looking from the outside.

It's in the name.

Look. Out.

Kameko, it's very important.

Everyone helps in their own way,

using the skills they have.

Or the skills they don't have.

[sighs] I get it.

I won't mess anything up.

[Kameko sighing]

What's going on?

I'm not a good member of the group.

What? Of course you are.

Nuh-uh. You all have Creative Forces.

I don't have anything.

I wish I could be just like you.

Can I tell you a secret?

I'm great at secrets!

Yesterday, Squish ate some of your kelp cakes

while you were taking a nap and I didn't say anything!

[gasps] Um, can you forget you heard any of that?

Done. Here's my secret.

Before I knew I had a Creative Force,

sometimes I was jealous of Pearl Girl.

Huh?

She had these amazing powers.

She could teleport, levitate,

warm your hot chocolate to just the right temperature.

That last one doesn't sound cool,

but wow, was it handy.

Sure, I was happy for her,

but I was kinda sad for me.

When someone else can do something you can't,

it feels lonely.

But you know what?

I can do things she can't do.

And you can do things I can't do.

But what are those things?

You'll figure it out.

You don't have to be like me.

You just have to be like Kameko.

I guess...

Astra! We gotta move!

Okay. Everyone warmed up?

Commencing heist.

Hmm.

Borrow-heist. [Astra sighing]

Phase One.

[suspenseful music]

Hmm.

Here goes nothin'.

We're in! Ha!

Amazing! Inside, everyone!

Hurry!

[Kameko sighing]

Guess that's how it goes for a Mermaid-icorno with zero powers.

You end up watching everyone else do the important stuff.

Baby Bones?

Oh. Hello?

Come on.

It's time to come out now!

Barb! You're not still playing hide-and-seek, are you?

Me? No, of course not.

Oh, good.

Because it's been hours!

If you were still looking for Baby Bones, I'd be concerned.

Ha! Yeah, me too.

Can you imagine?

Me? The Pearl Palace's most trusted advisor

outwitted by a baby. [laughs]

[both laughing]

Why are we laughing? -I have no idea. Ha!

[laughing]

Oh, always good to have a nice afternoon laugh

for no reason. [chuckles]

Anyhoo, I just popped by to say dinner's on soon,

so, uh, you rascals better hurry along!

It's taco night!

Oh yeah, that sounds great.

I can't wait!

Commencing Phase Two: disabling the nets.

[suspenseful music]

?

[Mermicornos sighing]

Commencing Phase Three: lasers.

[suspenseful music]

Three, two, one, dance!

[Nautique humming]

Amazing work, Nautique.

If you ever wanna be a backup dancer for my shows,

you've got a great shot at getting an audition.

Only one more to go.

You're up, Squish.

One panel-shattering high frequency solo coming up.

Wait for it.

[deep inhaling]

Ugh.

[high-pitched singing]

Abort! Abort!

You're gonna blow the whole thing!

[high-pitched singing]

[gasps] You did it!

We better jet.

That was loud enough to alert the whole city!

Should we get some smoothies, Sluglas?

Fuel ourselves for all the nothing we have to do?

Sluglas?

Not again. Where'd you go now?

Hey! Come back!

[gasps] Kitty!

[chuckling] You've walked right into my trap. [chuckles]

Come on! Hurry up! Read fast!

What does it say?

I'll tell you what it says.

It says freeze, clambrains!

[dramatic music]

I'll freeze you!

Let us out!

[chuckles] Now, why ever would I do that,

when you're exactly where I want you?

I suspected you were Mermicornos,

but I couldn't be sure until I saw your powers in action.

Now that I've seen the proof,

I can start my most valuable collection of all.

You.

[tense dramatic music]

[banging] [suspenseful music]

[deep inhaling]

[high-pitched singing]

[groaning]

[Nautique grunting]

This glass is ice strong and dance Creative Force proof?

You monster.

As a collector,

I protect my most valuable specimens from the elements.

You should be flattered.

Well, we're not!

Oh, too bad.

Now that I have four Mermicornos,

I'll be the most revered collector in the ocean!

And there's nothing you can do! [cackling]

[gasps] We have to save them!

Maybe I can sneak in the same way Kitty did.

[Kameko grunting]

[sighs] It's no use.

All I can do is get us kicked outta places.

And all you can do is slime everything up.

[gasps] Hey, wait! I have an idea!

[banging]

[door bell ringing]

Go away! I'm closed!

Hello, collector lady.

I feel like I have to make up for the whole vase thing. Ugh.

Maybe I can reorganize your bookshelves?

[playful music]

Oh, oh! No! Please!

Just stop! Stop! I have a system!

Or I could rearrange your other precious knickknacks.

[gasps] Oh!

Can't you see I'm busy with matters that don't concern you?

You're just wasting my time.

Exactly! Just like I planned. Ha.

[heroic music]

Kameko! Sluglas! You saved us!

No one is saving anyone!

[suspenseful music]

Grab the book!

[Kitty grunting]

[suspenseful music continues]

[soft chuckling]

[loud grunting]

[Kameko laughing]

That box needs a fix-it song!

[deep inhaling]

? Waahhhhhhh

No, can't stop me!

That's against the rules!

You bought my book for two coins?

Here's three. Keep the change!

[upbeat music] [Mermicornos cheering]

We did it, yas!

Ugh.

[Barb]. Baby Bones?

Oh, I can't find him anywhere.

What will I tell Royal Mother Pearl?

That's odd.

That fountain hasn't been turned on for the season.

[Baby Bones giggling]

Oh, gotcha! [laughs]

What a clever hiding spot.

I like hiding and bubbles!

That's how we'll get the sea-tizens to the Pearl Palace!

Bubbles!

We'll transport them under currents of bubbles

to keep them safe from Ika's forces.

Turns out,

bubbles make a great way to hide.

Ooh, a perfect plan!

A third gold star for you, Barb.

The credit belongs to Baby Bones.

Just goes to show ya good ideas can come from anywhere,

ya know?

Where did he go?

Oh no, not again.

[Astra]. To Kameko.

For being incredibly resourceful,

excellent at distractions,

and great at training slugs.

All incredible powers.

[in unison] To Kameko!

[giggles] I couldn't have done it without Sluglas.

We're a great team.

I get it.

You miss your slug crew and wanna go back to them.

I'm sure we'll meet again, my friend.

Don't ever forget me.

Now, the book.

[magical music]

Oh my horn.

This was the diary of the Princess of the Mermicornos!

[gasps] Th-th-this was my book.

Does that mean I'm the Princess? [squeals]

Kameko, bring me ramen.

Gwen, massage my hooves.

Nautique, no notes, keep up the good work.

Sorry, Squishella.

It says her name was Princess Hana.

Ugh!

Ugh, phew! That was close.

Can you imagine Squishella as a leader?

[sputtering] I heard that.

What else does it say?

It says Princess Hana was fighting Ika Inkblot.

There's a map to his lair!

And instructions to make talismans called Hooflets

that'll help us fight him!

Our mission's back on track.

Next up,

we'll make these talismans.

Don't forget you'll need a lookout.

Me!
