[Intro – soft underwater glow + distant palace bells + worried footsteps] Yeah… The palace was quiet for the first time in years. Nemo paced like a man who’d already lost everything. [Verse 1 – Nemo’s Worry] Nemo stood tall in the coral throne room, eyes scanning the blue, “Where’s my boy? My Lil Peter Piper — Hook swore he’d come through.” Ariel touched his arm, voice gentle but the weight in her tone, “We sent the best we had. Lion-el and Kittara — they’re already home.” The Nautilus hummed low, crew still catching breath from the fight, Nemo paced around Peter’s empty chair muttering, “That kid better be alright.” [Pre-Chorus] Then the water shimmered — a glowing bubble descending through the reef. [Chorus – warm chaotic reunion] Rub a dub dub, we got a sub and a whole new crew, Carpet broke the surface, Twinkie’s bubble shining true. Puss and Kitty back to cats, fur still smelling like island smoke, Peter Piper stepped off tall — six foot of ex-navy gentleman, no joke. Ariel froze mid-step, cheeks burning red as the sea, Peter smiled calm, voice deep, “Captain of the stealth sub — nice to finally meet.” Nemo’s shoulders dropped, tears mixing with the salt, “My boy… you’re alright. Hook’s island fell — that’s what I call a result.” [Verse 2 – Triton’s Redemption] Triton sat on his throne, fully cured but looking small inside his skin, Head hung low, trident heavy, voice cracked and thin. “I let the Fix control me… turned my kingdom into chains. You earned this throne, daughter. I step down today — no more games.” He looked at Nemo, eyes full of old regret and shame, “Hook’s Island is yours, Captain. Drydock, base, whatever name. I owe you more than gold for what my weakness cost your son.” Nemo nodded slow — “We’ll take it. And we’ll use it well, old one.” [Bridge – spoken, savage dark humor] Ursula slithered forward in cuffs, tentacles twitching with that classic grin, “Darling Puss… remember that favor? One chaotic debt I’m still owed within.” Puss flicked an ear, “Fine. You’re spared — but no more tricks, sea witch. One shady deal and I’ll personally turn you into calamari dish.” Twinkie cackled from Ariel’s shoulder, tiny and loud, “Finally! The fish queen’s got a hot captain and we’re not all drowned!” [Final Chorus – triumphant & hopeful] Kingdom Tide is turning, Ariel crowned beneath the waves, Peter at her side, stealth sub ready for the braves. Nemo takes the island, Nautilus now ours to roam, Crew sailing home together — the sea run found its home. From Hook’s chains to freedom, from Fix to Fairy Dust, The Guardians keep rolling… and the revolution’s just. [Outro – fading engine hum + soft laughter + cat sass] Puss pulled two glowing apples from his bag with a wicked grin, Looked at Kitty, raised an eyebrow, “One more ride before we head back in?” Kitty smirked, tail flicking, voice dripping with that perfect tease, “Rub a dub dub… we got a sub. Try to keep up, Lion-el, please.”
