"What are you talking about?" Grandmamah seemed taken aback.
"Nerissa never had a daughter!"
In the moment, Agatha froze, a chill running through her tentacles and possibilities began to aline.
She had felled the Queen, hadn't she? She had slain Nerissa, but then how would she have…
"I did it!" Ruby exclaimed in joy as she seam back to Chelseas' side, landing as she opened up her hand, showing the Trident of Oceanus, a smile spreading across her face.
Chelsea moved closer, staring at the Trident in awe and wonder.
"Mothers' Trident…" Chelsea muttered in awe, her eyes appearing to redden as she thought back what little memories she had of that Day.
Hidden away at her mothers' side, hidden within an Egg, nearly ready to burst open. She had seen it all. The Battle, the turn, her fall…
"I never thought that I'd really see it…" The Mermaid muttered as she reached out to grasp the Trident.
In a moment, something resonated within Chelseas' mind as her expression twisted, her giving out a cry as she erupted with steam all around her.
Ruby pulled back, protecting herself with her body Armor out of Instinct.
Once the steam subsided, the Kraken called out in a panic, "Chelsea! Are you okay!?"
As the steam cooled and a much larger form showed itself, a Scaley Form of a mermaid, flowing red hair turning to lines of foam.
As Chelsea opened her eyes, something felt…off…
"Krystal, Kraken…" She grimaced while staring at Ruby, as if she was a complete stranger.
-------
This is just a small piece of what I liked to think about after that reveal in the movie. I sorta like the idea of this a bit more. Maybe the Trident can have a memory of its Wielders by Species, leading to some sort of memory event. And of course there is the change of Chelsea being her own. What a depressing conclusion. Should have just made Chelsea her own character. Would be a more interesting suprise Twist for Agatha and her mother to discover this.
I watched the movie out of curiosity and to unwind, only to be so disappointed at this part that I've rewritten it as a fragment and revived this blog that laid dormant since I had heatstroke Last year and then 2023s' punches as an end result.
Here are my concepts of what can be done though. Instead Chelsea should have been her own character, indeed Nerissas' daughter, most likely still in her egg and having witnesses her own mothers' death.
Perhaps She is indeed Genuine as well, actually being friends with Ruby. Perhaps there are species based effects of the Trident of Oceanus. Maybe it brings up the memories of its past weilders, and with a trauma of having witnessed her mother having been slain, it can give just the right weakness for Chelsea to be over taken and almost possessed by the Trident, representing the past itself.
"A Kraken always answers the Call."
"A Mermaid remains true to her roots."
Perhaps she gets Ruby Early on into a bind and is about to slay her, only for tears to form as she tries to restain herself, not wanting to do it.
A Villian still, but an unintended one, making the real villain maybe the sins of the past.
Dunno if I'll update this one again, As I'd need to rewatch the movie again as I went to theaters, but here is this fragment and some of my ideas.
I wonder if people can ignore a companys' vision with enough audacity that they just retcon it in a sequel.
As a final piece, Maybe she does meet Agatha, and is holding onto Ruby in a way for comfort, as she is technically meeting then the Kraken that had killed her mother.
Maybe There is an argument in private where she demands Chelsea stay away from Ruby, as Mermaids can't be trusted, not even one.
This can also have a side effect of weakening Chelseas' resolve for an actual Peace, but memory of Ruby brings it all back, especially after Ruby picks her up and they leave.
Interesting if Also Chelsea gets called a monster by Agatha during that scene.
Suggest tags. I'm off to shower before the Infernal Meatball in the sky decides to fry me again.
