Ursula.
"Where am I?" Hippo wonders confused as he looks around.
The blond finds himself in a place that seems infinite, completely white with blue shades.
"Hi Hippo." Ursula says hello and makes him jump with fright. "Sorry, I didn’t want to scare you."
"But you... Who are you?"
"My name is Ursula, have you heard of me?"
"No, that’s not possible." The blond says incredulous. "It must be a dream." He adds before he pulls his cheek. "You’re just a legend."
"So they say." Confirms the lilac. "But all legends have a basis of truth, right?"
"What is this place?" Hippo asks, trying to figure out how he got there.
A second before his friends beat Gaito and escaped from the castle, but he doesn’t remember being in such a place.
"Uhm... It doesn't really have a name, it’s just a place where I can talk to people in peace." The princess explains.
"Why do you want to talk to me?"
"See, I’ve been watching what happened to you and your friends, and I thought to give you a gift."
"A gift?" Hippo repeats confused watching her.
The lilac smiles at him and then reaches out to the boy showing a rainbow pearl.
"Y-your pearl!" The blond exclaims surprised.
"You can wish that the girl you love become human, so you can be together." The mermaid explains.
"But why me? I’m not the one who defeated Gaito." Hippo replies.
"You’ve been by the mermaid's side and you’ve been helping them all this time, so it’s only fair that you, like them, have a happy ending."
Hippo picks up the pearl and looks at it uncertain.
"Even if I saved Yuri, I think she’d be sad without her friends."
"Then save them too."
"Can I really?" He question in disbelief.
"My pearl has unlimited power." Ursula remember him. "You must hold the pearl and make the wish out loud."
"I want the Dark Lovers to turn into human beings." Hippo says and the pearl begins to emit a blinding light.
When he finally sees again, the blond is on the beach.
"Hippo!" Lucia calls him. "Where were you? We were worried!"
"Well, I..." The boy mutters before pointing his eyes at his hands, the pearl he is holding in his hand has become stone.
"I can’t believe it." Nikora says observing Ursula. "Are you who I think?"
"It depends on who you think I am." The lilac replies.
"Your pearl..." Hippo mutters worried showing it to the mermaid.
"Don’t worry. It always happens after you make a wish, in a year it’ll be the same."
"I's not possible, you are Ursula!" Coco exclaims in disbelief.
"Look! There are the Dark Lovers!" Hanon notes pointing to the four girls lying on the ground.
"It’s not possible, with Gaito’s death they should have returned to their original appearance." Noel says.
"Hippo, you saved them, didn’t you?" Nikora asked him. "You made a wish with the pearl."
"What?! You saved them?!" Caren screams in shock.
"Don’t worry, they’re human now! They won’t be a problem anymore."
"I have to go now, maybe one day we will see eachother again." Ursula says before disappearing with her pearl.
"I can’t believe the Princess of the Seas is real." Lucia comments in awe.
"If we think, however, that we too are legends for human beings, it is not so strange." Rina replies.
The Dark Lovers start to get up and look around confused, wondering what they are doing on the beach.
"Yuri!" Hippo exclaims before running towards her.
"Hippo?" The green mutters before her love hugs her.
"What are we doing here?" Eriru asks for the whole group.
"Hippo saved you." Rina explains without approaching them, all the mermaids are standing at attention.
"What? But how?" Yuri asks puzzled.
"Long story short, I made a wish and you became human."
"Human?" The brunette repeats incredulous before trying to use her powers to confirm it.
"Unbelievable..." The green whispers.
"Do you want revenge?" Izuru asks skeptical to the princesses.
"Don’t look at us, we didn’t do anything to bring you here." Coco replies.
"Yeah, if it were up to me, you’d still be at the bottom of the ocean." Caren adds.
"Hippo decided to save you, you should thank him for that." Hanon explains.
"Why did you do this? We are enemies." Mary questions him.
"Yeah. I understand Yuri, but why the others?" Rina asks him.
"I thought Yuri would be happier with her friends." The blond explains.
"Oh Hippo..." The green mutters before hugging the boy in tears and her friends look at him in disbelief.
"Then yes, I suppose we should thank you." Izuru says.
"Yes, but where will we stay now?" Maria asks worried.
"You could come to the hotel." Lucia proposes.
"Eh?!" The other mermaid exclaim upset.
"Are you kidding right?!" Caren exclaims. "After all they’ve done!"
"Yes, she’s right. I don’t think it's the case." Izuru says.
"Why not? You no longer have the powers, you are normal human. Don’t you agree Nikora?"
"It's fine for me, but only if they help me with the work."
"Really?!" Eriru asks in disbelief and the woman nods. " Yay! Yay!"
"Actually, there’s no reason to worry." Hanon admits.
"Yes, I suppose you’re right." Rina agrees.
"And then Hippo looks so happy." Coco says looking at the blond who hugs Yuri.
The two can finally live in peace their love story.
Ursula
"My pearl gives great power, that’s why my existence has become a mere legend."
