[whimsical music playing]

[Guardian purrs]

Nice job, Oyster. This pearl is growing really fast.

-And really sparkly! -[barks]

Wow!

I can't believe this is the same place we found a few months ago.

The water was murky.

There was trash from the surface everywhere.

[Sasha] And zero pearls.

It wasn't so hard.

The Archives had my mom's notes from when she tended these beds.

It's like she's here, guiding me.

[amulet chiming]

Oh, Merlinda, your coming-of-age ceremony! It's almost time.

Ah! Big day alert! Are you freaking out yet?

Uh, I wasn't. Until now.

You're ready, Merlinda. You've trained for this.

Yeah, you took down Barbarossa. You can do anything!

Thanks for always having my back, girls.

[Guardian purrs]

[giggles] You too, Guardian.

C'mon, let's go.

[music continues]

[chuckles]

[laughs]

Merlinda! Are you ready for your big day? The whole kingdom is waiting for you.

[chuckles] Thanks, Alex. No pressure!

[music concludes]

Hey! You coming from the lower reefs?

Outer patrol. General Orca expects vigilance today.

Less talking, more watching.

-Uh? -Hmm.

-You seen that guy before? -No idea. Must be new.

-[playful music playing] -[barks]

[mermaids cheering, laughing]

[music fades]

Poor Merlinda. So excited for your precious coming-of-age ceremony.

Too bad it's not going to end quite as you had hoped. [cackles]

[chuckles]

-[merfolk cheering] -[epic music playing]

[merfolk 1] Hi, Princess Merlinda.

[merfolk 2] Best wishes on this joyful day.

Thank you, everyone. Thank you.

[chuckles]

[merfolk cheering, applauding]

[music concludes]

Merlinda, perfect timing.

[Nerissa gasps]

I've arranged a little surprise to celebrate your coming of age.

Dad, today has enough going on. Seriously, it's a lot.

[uplifting music playing]

Uh? Huh?

[giggles]

[both] Surprise!

[chuckles]

[all giggle]

[chuckles]

I� I don't understand. When? How?

Your dad asked me and Sasha to go to Morton Bay and invite them for the day.

Ah! And you kept this a secret?

It was so hard!

Fred upgraded the jet skis so they could dive deeper in the ocean.

-I wouldn't miss this day for the world. -That goes double for me.

[giggles]

[clears throat]

Oh, wow. You invited two surface-dwellers to Mertropia.

I gotta tell you, Dad, I'm impressed.

I'm grateful for all Tyler and Celia did to help you and our kingdom.

I can bend my own rules for one afternoon.

[chuckles] Now, we've kept the merfolk waiting long enough.

Let's get your celebration started. On stage! [laughs]

[music fades]

? Yeah, so listen up, we bring that mermaid magic ?

[theme song concludes]

-[indistinct chatter] -[Merlinda] That's our dome.

It's covered by a bioluminescent life-form that changes colors to mimic sunrise,

-day, sunset, night-- -And stars.

I can never remember what bio-lumin- whatever means,

but it's really pretty.

[mellow music playing]

-Good luck with the trial, Princess! -[scoffs] She doesn't need luck.

I've been training her personally for weeks.

Thanks, Alex!

But actually, I've been training for this moment my whole life.

[scoffs]

Wait, so what trial?

It's part of the coming-of-age celebration.

I'll be doing a kind of obstacle course.

Assuming we get there on time. Come on, let's move.

Right. A princess is never late. [giggles]

[Nerissa] Was that supposed to be me? I don't say stuff like that.

[mysterious music playing]

[music intensifies]

Ah! Huh?

[Tyler] Celia? Celia? Celia?

-Are you coming? -[Celia] Yeah.

Uh, yes!

[playful music playing]

Whoa! Where are we going?

-The trial is underwater! Follow us! -[chuckles] All right!

[ominous music playing]

-He likes you. -Wow!

These sharks are trained to protect merfolk.

They aren't friendly with anyone else.

Yeah, well, Celia and I are both great with sea creatures.

They love us.

Whoa!

Yeah, that definitely looks like love to me.

They're waiting for us. We should go.

[soft orchestral music playing]

[merfolk cheering, applauding]

[Nerissa] Mom, Dad, this is Celia and Tyler.

And these are our parents. [giggles]

-Ugh. -[laughs]

-Hi. -Nice to meet you.

[laughs] They have the king's favor.

-Hmm, I hope you're being good to them. -[giggles]

-[conch blowing] -[triumphant music playing]

There they are.

Mermaids and mermen, your princess, Merlinda.

[majestic music playing]

[merfolk cheering, applauding]

[merfolk] The princess, and the knight!

-So cute together! -I totally ship them.

Hmm.

Yeah!

Boo!

It should be Nerissa down there, escorting Merlinda.

But, Dad, it's always been the captain of the Guard

who takes on that role.

[scoffs] You should have been made Captain of the Guard by now.

My fellow Mertropians, the moment we've all been waiting for is here.

Welcome to the Trial of Aqualume.

-Aqua� what? -Aqualume. It's like a royal tradition.

It's more than that. It's a test.

She has one chance for an audience with the Oracle of the Seven Seas.

It basically decides her entire future, and maybe the whole city's.

[shushes] It's starting!

-Pearl power! -["Shine & Glow" playing]

? I am strong, I stay true I feel the pearl, the miracle ?

? I have the power to break through Pearl power ?

? You got the power to love You got the strength to be tough ?

? You got the magic when the pearl's by your side ?

? Strong as the ocean's spirit, we unite ?

[song concludes]

Merlinda will now call forth Seeraya, her trusty steed.

-Make us proud. -[dramatic music playing]

[conch blowing]

Look! On the screen!

Seeraya is the fastest seahorse in Mertropia. Watch!

[neighs]

[intense music playing]

[neighs]

[soft orchestral music playing]

Mm-hmm.

[Seeraya neighs]

Your princess Merlinda must undergo her coming of age,

just as her ancestors have since time immemorial.

[metal clanging]

Before those runes fade,

Merlinda will have to ring 12 bells to prove herself worthy!

[bell tolls]

-[Seeraya neighs] -She's off! Yeah!

Go, Merlinda!

[bell tolls]

[bell tolls]

Uh, isn't that dangerous?

Meh. Merlinda can handle a few stabby bits.

-[grunts] -[bell tolls]

[Seeraya neighs]

[bell tolls]

[bell tolls]

[grunts]

Go, Merlinda, go, go, go! That was crazy.

[adventurous music playing]

[bell tolls]

Yes. Prove yourself, little princess.

Merlinda's on fire. Only five bells left.

[grunts]

-[grunts] -[bell tolls]

[merfolk cheering]

Huh?

[music swells]

[grunts]

[bells toll]

[grunts]

[bell tolls]

[merfolk cheering, whooping]

[Nerissa] This is it, guys! Just one more bell!

-[gasps] -[branch snaps]

[gasps]

[Seeraya whickers]

[merfolk gasp]

[all gasp]

[Seeraya snorts]

[Seeraya whinnies]

-[whinnies] -There's no time.

[mysterious music playing]

[Merlinda] It's all right. I'm here.

[Seeraya neighs]

[snorts, squeals]

[tense music playing]

Let's go.

[grunts]

[screams]

[grunts]

[bell tolls]

[gasps]

[suspenseful music playing]

Did it work?

[neighs]

Go on, Merlinda!

Mysterious and ancient Oracle of the Seven Seas.

I ask you to share with me your wisdom and your guidance.

-Maybe he's not coming. -[barks]

[enchanting music playing]

Whoa!

[merfolk gasp]

[Merlinda] Whoa!

[music swells]

[all gasp]

Wow.

[friends gasp]

[music intensifies]

[Oracle purrs]

[music concludes]

[grunts]

Whoa!

[exclaims, coos]

[chuckles]

[coos]

-[giggles] You're sweet! -No. Jelly!

[laughs]

The Oracle has chosen a Nixie for the princess.

Their bond will guide Merlinda into the future.

[giggles]

Um, you must be my Nixie.

-Jelly! -[laughs]

Jelly, Jelly, Jelly, Jelly!

Hey, what do you think they're talking about?

Something totally deep and like, mystical.

Oh, your name is Jelly. I'm Merlinda.

-Show Merlinda! Show Merlinda now! -[tense music playing]

[music concludes]

[barks]

[dramatic music playing]

[merfolk exclaiming]

[cackles]

It's the Sea Witch!

-[merfolk screaming] -[cackles]

-[exclaims] -[groans]

-[Jelly] Princess! -No!

[laughs]

Give her back!

Come on!

-[both] Pearl Power! -["Shine & Glow" playing]

? I have the power to break through Pearl power ?

? You got the power to love You got the strength to be tough ?

? You got the magic When the pearl's by your side ?

? Strong as the ocean's spirit, we unite ?

[song concludes]

Hydroblast!

Thunderbolt!

Bubble Burst!

[laughs]

[groans]

-Sis, what is it? -I don't know� something feels wrong.

We better get you out of sight.

-Guards! Get that witch! -[metal clangs]

[guards yell]

Such a precious little thing. Time to make you a bit more useful.

[grunts]

-Jelly! -[laughs]

[snarls, growls]

-[gasps] -Look out!

[snarls]

Now!

[sinister music playing]

[laughs evilly]

[merfolk screaming]

[Sea Witch cackles]

Merlinda! Watch out!

-[groans] -No! Uncle!

Now's our chance! Attack!

[both grunt]

Oh, what a shame. I thought I'd have more time to play.

[cackling]

[both gasp]

[gasps]

[both groan]

Well, it's been entertaining. But I'll just see myself out.

[Sea Witch chuckles]

[Seaford] How many were hit with this poison?

[physicist] Fifty here in the palace.

Hundreds more are being treated in their homes.

Sire, I've never seen this kind of poison before.

Whatever the sea witch did with her dark magic,

the usual remedies have no effect.

Can I try?

Hmm.

[groans]

[groans]

[grunts]

[groans]

[grunts]

It's too powerful.

Even for you, Princess.

What's going to happen to them?

[sighs] Nothing good, I'm afraid.

We need to find a cure�

fast.

I wish we could help somehow.

Thanks, but there's nothing you can do.

Besides, Celia, you're not feeling well. You need to go home and rest.

[sighs] Plus, we have school tomorrow.

School? Ugh! Now I feel sick.

[chuckles]

Merlinda, I'm sorry your day didn't turn out the way you had hoped.

I'm sorry your first visit to Mertropia was such a disaster.

Well, I'm definitely not going to forget it anytime soon.

[chuckles, sighs] There's something I didn't tell you.

When I was linked to my Nixie, I saw my mom.

There was an explosion of light, and�

Merlinda.

I think she's alive. I can feel it.

This is all connected.

I need to rescue my Nixie from the Sea Witch

and reverse that dark magic spell. I need to find out the truth.

And you know we'll help you.

We all will.

[barks]

-Beau Jr. too. -[crowd laughing]

[gentle music playing]

[seal barks]

[barks]

Sis, you should be laying down.

I'm feeling a little better. And with all the excitement today,

I could use a little boring routine.

[metal clangs]

Tyler, did you skip your chores this morning?

This deck is a mess. It's not even scrubbed.

Yeah, well, if you remember,

we needed to get down to Mertropia to surprise Merlinda,

and we were a little pressed for time.

We were pressed for time

because you kept running to the mirror to fuss with your hair.

I wasn't fussing. I was styling it.

[screams]

Hey, Celia! Are you okay?

Huh!

Ugh! This is exactly what your lack of responsibility leads to.

Me falling into a pool. You didn't even scrub the deck.

Uh!

Uh, Celia? Uh!

Uh, huh?

[enchanting music playing]

[both scream]

["Embrace Our Power" playing]

? Time to come alive Embrace your power ?

? Yeah, you know that deep inside that its your calling ?

? Pulling us into the magic hour ?
