01:02Merlinda! You know the portal was off-limits to everyone but the elite guard!
01:05I know! Danger! Please don't tell my dad!
01:13And since we're using our powers, how about a little ocean wall?
01:18Nice one!
01:26Hmm.
01:28Ah!
01:30Ah!
01:32Ah!
01:34Ah!
01:40Ah! Ah!
01:42Sasha?
01:54You're doing great, Marlinda.
01:56Just ask my followers.
01:59Bo Jr. and I are getting this all on my live feed.
02:03Say hi, Marlinda.
02:04Hi.
02:05Huh?
02:07Bye.
02:09Marlinda is going for a personal record.
02:11But Narissa is closing in.
02:21There's the bell.
02:27I see you, Sparky.
02:28It's time to get sucked.
02:30Ah!
02:41Well, it was messy, but that was your best time yet.
02:49You were fantastic, Marlinda.
02:51Thanks, but I need to do better than Messi. Someday I may have to step up and protect Mertropia, like my mother did.
03:02If that day comes, you'll be ready.
03:05And you won't be alone. You'll have us.
03:10Mermaids swim together forever.
03:13Oh, the water bomb at the end. Genius.
03:16This Mert squad is going viral.
03:21We better hurry. We're going to be late for class.
03:24I am going to be the queen of social media one day.
03:27Do I really need to know math?
03:30Sasha, let's go.
03:33Okay.
03:34Look, Mom! It's the princess!
03:49Look, Mom! It's the princess!
04:01Hi, Merlinda! Hi, Sasha and Nerissa!
04:06Hi!
04:06Sorry, we're late for school.
04:08Oh, let's take a shortcut through the market square.
04:16It's not a shortcut when you window shop.
04:22You look so good.
04:23I wrote these books. Would you like to see them?
04:26Hey, Mr. Gobi, the statue is looking really great.
04:29Thanks, princess.
04:30Aren't you late for school?
04:32Hi, Mrs. Sandplee.
04:43I have a new book for you, princess.
04:46Oh, great! I'll be back later. I promise.
04:48You can't catch me!
04:52You've outdone yourself, old friend.
04:59It looks as good as new.
05:02Oh, the proudest day of my life, Your Highness,
05:05was the day Queen Corellia first wore this crown.
05:08And soon the princess will wear it.
05:11What's the occasion, sire?
05:13No occasion.
05:14Sometimes a father just wants to give his little girl a gift.
05:21Daddy!
05:22Merlinda, what are you doing here on the market on a school day?
05:26Well, I could ask you the same question.
05:29I definitely did not come to pick up a surprise for my daughter.
05:34And I definitely am not coming back from a thing
05:37I wasn't supposed to be doing between classes.
05:40Is that so?
05:45Your dad follows me on Merstagram.
05:47Nerissa, you know I don't want Merlinda training to be a warrior.
05:53Don't be mad at Nerissa, dad.
05:55I begged her to train me.
05:56And you know how persuasive I can be?
05:59She can be persuasive, Your Highness.
06:01Yes, I'm fully aware.
06:05Great.
06:06I'm glad we cleared all that up.
06:09Huh?
06:10Oh, what's happening?
06:13What's going on?
06:14Dad, what's happening?
06:26I need to get to the palace.
06:27You stay here.
06:28Something is really wrong.
06:39I have to know what it is.
06:41Ah!
06:41Wait here.
07:05Huh?
07:06Huh?
07:11Oh, oh, oh, oh.
07:41Your Highness.
07:57You did it.
08:01The four remaining pearls have stabilized.
08:05How long this time?
08:07How long before they all lose their power?
08:12At this rate a month, maybe less.
08:16If the pearls of Neptune die, the kingdom will soon follow.
08:20Every time you use your power to replenish the pearls, you become more depleted.
08:25This is your life force.
08:28It's not an infinite source of energy.
08:30One more effort like this could be your last.
08:32Our only hope to save Mertropia is to send another elite team out into the open ocean to find more...
08:39Enough!
08:40I will not send another team through the portal to be wiped out by Barbarossa's sea monster army.
08:47No.
08:48I can make the pearls last longer.
08:50I can outlast him and his siege.
08:53I can go!
08:54No.
08:55I'll find the pearls.
08:56Hmm.
09:00Hmm.
09:02Dad!
09:09How could you not tell me about the pearls?
09:12About how you're using your life force to...
09:14It's not your concern.
09:16I'm the princess.
09:18It's my responsibility to help my people.
09:20And you.
09:22I am king.
09:23They're my responsibility.
09:25Your responsibility is to go to class and study.
09:29I'm more than just your little girl, okay?
09:31I'm 16 now.
09:33It's time for me to step up.
09:35I can fight.
09:36I'm good at it.
09:37I can take on these sea monsters.
09:39You have no idea what you're talking about.
09:42Or what waits on the other side of that portal.
09:45But, Dad...
09:45I don't want to hear any more of this.
09:47I have to do something.
09:49I can't just sit here and watch you risk your life.
09:52You haven't seen what I've seen.
09:54Not one merperson who has passed through that portal has made it back alive.
10:00I've already lost your mother.
10:02I will not lose you.
10:03I lost Mom too, Dad.
10:09I can't lose you.
10:21Merlinda?
10:21Merlinda?
10:22How long until the other pearls are like this one?
10:31A month?
10:32Maybe less.
10:34Okay, I think it's time for a doom and gloom intervention.
10:39Let's turn these frowns upside down.
10:42Hmm.
10:43Ha-ha!
10:43I have a better idea.
10:46I'm going to sneak out of Merthropia,
10:49find a new set of pearls,
10:51and bring them back.
10:52Oh, there you go!
10:54Good plan!
10:55Terrible plan!
10:57Have you forgotten what's on the other side of that portal?
11:00Sea monsters.
11:01Hundreds of them.
11:02I can find a way past them.
11:04It's not just them.
11:06The pirate, Barbarossa.
11:09Ooh, scary.
11:11Barbarossa is an evil pirate.
11:14All surface dwellers are evil pirates.
11:17Four hundred years ago,
11:19Barbarossa and his pirate armada
11:21waged war on the merfolk
11:22to conquer us and steal our powers.
11:26At his side was a sorceress,
11:29the Sea Witch.
11:30Also scary.
11:32Are there no puppy pics in this book?
11:34Or maybe a kitten?
11:36The Sea Witch created for Barbarossa a talisman
11:39full of dark magic.
11:42With it,
11:43he could steal the life force of any merperson.
11:47But the merfolk,
11:48harnessing their magic and the Sea,
11:50fought hard
11:51and were able to defeat Barbarossa.
11:54The pirate armada was destroyed
11:56and Barbarossa was imprisoned by magic
11:59in the blade of his own sword.
12:01Yes,
12:02but somehow,
12:04Barbarossa broke free.
12:05And fifteen years ago.
12:07I know what happened fifteen years ago.
12:09Even if you made it past the creepy monsters
12:12outside the portal,
12:13how would you find the pearls?
12:16My mom.
12:17I don't want to be that girl,
12:22but don't we need permission
12:24to enter the royal archives?
12:27I am that girl,
12:28and yes,
12:29we do.
12:30It's okay.
12:31I know the king.
12:31My mom was the last keeper of the pearls
12:49before she disappeared.
12:53She would go out into the ocean
12:54and attend to the magic oyster beds.
12:57And...
12:57She kept a map.
13:03This map is Mer-mazing!
13:06And Merlinda is right!
13:07Look,
13:08it can take us straight to the pearls.
13:10That map is not supposed to leave the archives.
13:13Nerissa,
13:14my dad is using his life force
13:16to keep the pearls working.
13:18If he keeps doing it,
13:19he's going to die.
13:20I have an idea
13:25for the sneaking past the monsters part.
13:27Merlinda,
13:28you can control water with your magic.
13:30Nerissa can generate an electrical charge.
13:33You can camouflage yourself.
13:35And if you hide behind me,
13:37I can make you invisible too.
13:39Sasha,
13:40that's genius.
13:41Really?
13:41Yes!
13:42Sneaking past part solved.
13:44Merlinda,
13:45as a member of the royal guard,
13:46I cannot let you go.
13:48Nerissa,
13:49we're talking about my father's life.
13:50Just this one time,
13:52please forget the rules.
13:53Alone.
13:54I cannot let you go alone.
13:56If you're going to go through the portal
13:57to save the king's life,
13:59I'm going with you.
14:00Yay, Nerissa!
14:02I'm in too.
14:03The three of us are going to save my dad
14:06and Mertropia together.
14:07Definitely!
14:08But first,
14:09we'll have to get past your boyfriend.
14:11Alex Dorselfin is not my boyfriend!
14:13Hey, Alex!
14:27Princess Merlinda!
14:28What?
14:29What are you doing back here?
14:30Uh,
14:31yeah.
14:32Pretty night,
14:33isn't it?
14:34It sure is!
14:35The stars are out.
14:36Do you love the stars,
14:37Alex?
14:37Well,
14:38I sure do.
14:39Um,
14:39how are things on the other side of the portal?
14:42Quiet?
14:43Those sea monsters aren't causing any
14:44sea monster trouble,
14:45are they?
14:46Uh,
14:47you really shouldn't get too close to that.
14:49You're right!
14:49It is quiet.
14:51Although,
14:51it's hard to tell in here
14:52exactly what's going on out there.
14:55Maybe you should open the portal
14:56so we can check it out.
14:57Wait,
14:57what?
14:58No!
14:59Merlinda,
15:00you know perfectly well it's dangerous,
15:02and your father forbids it.
15:05Okay,
15:05Alex,
15:06he got me!
15:07This was a test,
15:08and you aced it,
15:10Captain!
15:11So,
15:11now I can tell you the truth.
15:13Which is?
15:14Which is?
15:15Me,
15:16Sasha,
15:17and Nerissa
15:17are on a secret mission for the king.
15:20It's an urgent matter,
15:21so we should get moving.
15:22You just need to use your key
15:23and turn that wheel
15:24thingy.
15:25Your father has no idea about this,
15:27does he?
15:28By no idea,
15:29do you mean...
15:30Narissa?
15:37I had this under control.
15:38We're not supposed to be here.
15:40The longer it takes,
15:42the better the chance we get caught.
15:45I moved things along.
15:47Well,
15:48fine.
15:49Good job.
15:52Princess Belinda.
15:53Sorry,
15:54Alex.
15:55Ha!
15:55I knew it!
15:57Boyfriend?
15:58Not boyfriend.
16:08There's danger on the other side.
16:11Sea monsters,
16:12and who knows what else.
16:13But we've got one thing
16:14they don't have.
16:16Us.
16:16Are we ready?
16:19Pearl power!
16:20Pearl power!
16:25Come follow me
16:27under the sea
16:29Earth.
16:30Earth will always be free.
16:32There is no fear
16:35when we are near.
16:37Oceans have come
16:39and so clear.
16:42I am strong.
16:43I see truth.
16:44I see the pearl.
16:45The miracle.
16:46I have the power.
16:47Just thank you!
16:49Pearl power!
16:50You've got the power to love.
16:52You've got the strength
16:53that speeds up.
16:54You've got the magic
16:55when it's hurt
16:55by your side.
16:57Under the moon,
16:58now we know
16:59worries will shine and flow.
17:01You've got the magic
17:02in these airs all night.
17:04Yeah!

17:12Pearl power!
17:19Pearl power!
17:20Pearl power!

17:27by your side.
17:29Strong as the ocean
17:30spirits reunite!
17:32For Mertropia.
17:42And for you, Dad.
17:44Time to disappear!
18:09There is something I should have shared earlier.
18:33Sometimes when I'm nervous,
18:35I have trouble
18:36staying camouflaged.
18:49Sasha!
18:53I think he sees us.
18:56You think?
18:56Lightning boss!
18:59Oh, my God.
19:29Oh, my God.
19:33Ocean shield!
19:38Ah! The map!
19:44No!
19:45Arlinda!
19:48Arlinda!
19:50I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
19:59What's happening to her?
20:01Huh?
20:02Melinda!
20:03Melinda!
20:04AAAAAH!
20:05AAAAAH!
20:06Aaaah!
20:07AAAAAA!
20:08AAAAAAH!
20:09AAAAAAA!
20:10Avast, matey. Some scurvy dogs have dumped more trash ahead.
20:35Good eye, Tyler. Also, can we not use all the cliché pirate words?
20:39Stellar idea, me sister Celia. We'll make the polluters walk the plank! Aye!
20:45And more pirate words.
20:48Still with us, Petey?
20:53I just hope we can make a dent in all this floating trash today.
20:56It would be so great to see some of the species that abandoned Morton Bay come back and make it home again.
21:02Don't worry, sis. They'll come back.
21:04Because they've got us and Operation Deep Clean looking out for them.
21:09You said we were calling it Operation Bash the Trash.
21:12Eh, I changed my mind.
21:14You had me print flyers.
21:20Celia, something big just got stuck in the net.
21:24I'm on it.
21:30Huh? Something's coming straight for the boat.
21:43Gotcha.
21:44Huh?
21:45Whoa.
21:46Hey.
21:47Hey.
21:48Hey.
21:49Are you okay?
21:51Celia, you're not gonna believe this.
21:56Hold that thought, Tyler.
21:57I'm trying to find our hitchhiker.
21:58Oh, there.
21:59Looks like the poor guy is all tangled up in plastic science.
22:00Huh?
22:01Oh.
22:02Come on in the trail, woman.
22:03Your mood?
22:04Oh, huh.
22:05I'm trying to find our hitchhiker!
22:06Oh, my turn.
22:07Oh, your dog.
22:08Oh, my turn.
22:09It's over.
22:10Whoa.
22:11I'm on it.
22:12Hey.
22:13Oh, my turn.
22:14I'm on the laundry...
22:16I'm on my knees.
22:17Can I touch what?
22:18I'm on my knees!
22:19I'm on my knees.
22:20I'm on my knees!
22:21Oh, my turn.
22:22Oh, look.
22:23I'm on my knees!
22:24Hey, I'm on my knees!
22:25Looks like the poor guy is all tangled up in plastic trash.
22:31I'll get you free.
22:38Tyler! I'm being attacked!
22:40Uh, what are you talking about?
22:45Huh? What is that?
22:46Tyler, whatever you do, stay out of the water!
22:50Uh, yeah! That's what I'm trying to do!
22:55I'm coming out of the water!
22:57Oh my god!
22:58Oh my god!
23:03Oh my god!
23:04Aah!
23:10Aah!
23:13Aah!
23:21Oh my god!
23:23What were those things?
23:34She need there.
23:35We need to get her up to the...
23:39Wow.
23:53Give me that.
24:15What is this?
24:23Whoa-oh-oh-oh.
24:25Whoa-oh-oh-oh.
