Full Story
Merliah Summers is a
champion surfer who lives in Malibu. She is nicknamed the "Queen of the
Waves", and her friends, Hadley and Fallon, even make a song for her. One
day, during a surfing competition, suddenly there's pink highlights on her hair
while she is surfing. Seeing this, she dives underwater and realises that she
can breathe and talk underwater. A talking dolphin named Zuma has a
conversation with Merliah, and then takes her back to her friends. Merliah is
shocked but chooses not to believe it.
Merliah tells her
friends what happened and then goes home in deep thought. Her grandfather,
Break , who takes care of Merliah, reveales to her that she is actually
half-human half mermaid; her father Rip married a mermaid named Calissa , and
had Merliah. However, Merliah would be unsafe living among mermaids, because
she was born with a human appearance. Break agreed to take care of her, so her
mother gave Merliah to him when she was a baby. Merliah doesn't believe him and
leaves to talk to her friends about this.
Zuma the dolphin finds
Merliah with her friends again and tells her that the mermaid kingdom, Oceana,
ruled by Merliah's mother is in danger. Merliah's evil aunt, Eris , had taken
her throne. Merliah becomes angry because she doesn't understand what was going
on, and throws a necklace she'd been wearing, on the floor. The necklace had
been given to her when she was a baby, and it played a message when she threw
it. It revealed that Calissa was alive and needed help and that Merliah was
half mermaid. It also said Calissa was making Merillia, the magical life force
of the ocean.
Merliah goes with Zuma
to help her mother. They arrive in the underwater kingdom, and find that a
festival held by Eris is happening. Zuma tells Merliah that Eris' Merillia was
not as powerful as Calissa's, and it was making the ocean weak. Zuma and
Merliah enter a fashion boutique to get her a fake tail as a disguise as they
witness the festival. They see Eris make whirlpools that were impossible to
escape from, and take merpeople to her dungeons. This makes Merliah unsure if
she can save Oceana, and the boutique owners find out that she is hiding when
their pet seal, Snouts , tickles Merliah's toes. The owners are Kayla and Xylie
, two stylish mermaids, who give Merliah a fake tail to swim around so she will
fit in.
Kayla and Xylie want to
help Merliah and Zuma, so they go to see The Destinies. They are mermaids who
can see the future. They hear Eris saying she will destroy Merliah, so Kayla
and Xylie sidetrack her, and they go on to meet the Destinies. The Destinies —
Dee, Deandra and Deanne — tell Merliah exactly what she needs to defeat Eris:
The Celestial Comb, Dreamfish, and Eris' necklace, which protects her.
Merliah talks to Fallon
and Hadley with a device and they find out where the Celestial Comb is: in a
cave guarded by large jellyfish. Zuma, Kayla and Xylie try to distract the
jellyfish while Merliah and Snouts get the comb. They get it and escape before
the cave collapses. Merliah contacts Fallon and Hadley again, and they locate
the Dreamfish. It is in the Adenato currents. They get the Dreamfish and then,
to get Eris' necklace, Merliah, Kayla and Xylie sing a song Queen of the Waves
(but with different lyrics) to her in a festival to distract her. Eris becomes
angry and makes a whirlpool to get rid of Merliah, and Merliah gets sucked in.
Merliah asks the
Dreamfish for help, and it offers to let her go home and pretend nothing ever
happened. Merliah refuses and magically gets a real mermaid tail to replace her
fake one. She escapes the whirlpool with her new, strong tail and takes Eris'
necklace. Calissa makes more Merillia, and Merliah finds out that Eris couldn't
defeat Calissa because Eris is unable to make any Merillia. Eris chases after
Merliah and Eris ends up caught in one of her own whirlpools. She is taken to
the bottom of the deepest trench in the ocean.
Merliah frees Calissa
and Calissa cures the ocean with her Merillia. She also gives her daughter a
necklace that will let her be human again, as well as a mermaid whenever she
wishes. Merliah goes back to Malibu and wins a surfing trophy. Later, Calissa
meets Break, Hadley and Fallon.
