Triton of the Sea - Episode 9

"Mystery of the Phantom Ship"

The 3 dolphins are racing, and leave Pipi behind. She scolds them,
aside from Fin. Suddenly, they notice an odd cold current and see
a dark ship in the distance.

They get Triton to check out the ship (not telling Luka). Confident
of what Ippei told him about ships, Triton goes to check it out.
Pipi chides him for being too curious, and the dolphins aren't too
crazy about it either. Suddenly, they hear an odd song coming from
the ship, and Triton suddenly takes off toward it. Ero and
Karo drag him away from the ship, and ask why he went crazy
after hearing the song. Triton does not seem to remember what
happened.

Back at the Island, Luka tells them about the evil ship, 30 years
ago, she saw a party taking place on another ship which wandered into Poripeimos's territory. After hearing the song, they boarded the evil ship, where a beautiful woman waited to drink their blood. Triton vows not to forgive the vampire, and goes to the ship (now docked at an island full of graves) with his ears plugged. The Morsejellies tap that he is caught by Camilla, and Poripeimos is glad that Camilla's island will get another gravestone.

Mwa(BLUB)hahaha(BLUB)AHAHAHAHA(BLUB)!!!

Triton sees an old woman on the island carrying a cross. The old
woman begs him to take her away and tells him not to go onto the ship. Triton, of course, does not listen and boards the ship, finding the ship's log in the captain's cabin.

Granny got some interestin' dentures...Gee, I wonder who this is.

In 1861, Captain Gabley and Camilla were to be married.
On the 13th of June, a monster appeared, and they heard a voice to strike the invaders.
Camilla disappeared, coming back 3 days later...

Hearing the strange song, Triton rushes out on the ship's deck,
and Ero and Karo call him. They tell him that the old woman boarded
the ship. Triton can't believe the beautiful singing could come from
that old woman. He goes on to the island and finds Captain Gabley's
grave, with fresh flowers upon it. Hearing a sound, he discovers the
old woman digging another grave.

He demands to know about the ship,
and the woman remarks that he is like Poripeimos. Poripeimos refuses to let her die until she fills 3000 graves. Triton tries to take her away, but they are blocked by sound anglers (which are chasing Ero and Karo). Triton and the old woman run to the ship, but the old woman refuses to board until Triton drags her on. The ship takes off, and the vampire appears.

Unplugging his ears at just the right moment, Triton stabs the vampire with the Oriharucon
dagger. The vampire ages into the old woman (big surprise). She thanks him for returning her to the world of human beings. Triton burns the ship, trying to get the old woman to leave, but she refuses. Reading her journal, she reads the passage "16 June 1861- Camilla cannot help drinking my blood..." "All this is the doing of Poripeimos!" she cries as the ship burns.

Ero, Karo and Triton vow to fight on against the evil of the Poseidon as they watch the ship burn...
