Fathoms Below (Alternate Opening) (Kairi version)

It was a beautiful day at sea. Dolphins were swimming and chirping. Birds were flying. Suddenly, a pirate ship came into view, and they swam out of the way. On that ship, there were some cartoon characters. Some were tying the sails down. Others were catching fish with nets. They began to sing?

Cartoon characters: *I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue*
*And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho*
*Look out, lad, a mermaid be waitin' for you*
*In mysterious fathoms below*

A 15-year-old boy with spiky golden-blonde hair and blue eyes stood upon the ship. He was dressed in a jacket that resembles a fusion of Roxas' jacket on the right side and Sora's jacket on the left side, a grey vest with a single button and several white, angular patterns on it. He also wears a third layer under this, in the form of a plain, high-necked, black shirt. He also has a chunk of dull green and blue armor on his midsection that appears to be under his vest and another piece of armor on his left shoulder, and caprice pants that was in the shades of grey, black, and white. He also wears an ornate, dull green and blue piece of armor on his upper-left arm, along with a black and white checkered wristband, dull green and blue boots, and two criss-crossing straps on his chest. He also has a silver Keyblade Master emblem. His name was Ventus, or Ven for short. The prince loved being on the ship! The sea was his life! Unlike other princes who only care about politics and money, Ventus would rather sail. It was the only place he feel that can be carefree and be himself.

"Isn't this great?" Ventus asked Happy, "The salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face!" He sighed, "A perfect day to be at sea!" sighed Ventus.

His steward, who was a slender, old man with blonde hair, a beard, mustache and eyebrows with red eyes, wearing a white lab coat, a purple kerchief, a black suit, matching shoes, and a dark red shawl around his shoulders, turned to face the prince. His name is Ansem the Wise, Ventus' butler. He was leaning over the boat, looking green. He was more seasick than pleased.

"Oh yes," Ansem said sarcastically. "delightful."

He hated being on sea. Earlier, when Ventus wanted to go sailing, Ansem was content on staying at the castle.

"A fine strong wind and a following sea," said Happy, tying more ropes. "Lord Shen must be in a friendly-type mood."

He and Ventus tied more ropes.

"Lord Shen?" repeated a confused Ventus. He had studied many monarchs. Yet, he never came across a Lord Shen.

"Why, new ruler of the merpeople and mer-animals, lad." Happy said, "Thought every good sailor knew about him."

Cartoon characters: *I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea*
*And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho*
*The ruler of all of the oceans is he*
*In mysterious fathoms below*

Ansem rolled his eyes for he did not believe in the existence of merpeople and mer-animals.

"Merpeople!" scoffed Ansem, "Ventus, pay no attention to this nautical nonsense."

"But it ain't nonsense, it's the truth!" replied Happy, "There's a whole world of merpeople and mer-animals under the sea."

Ansem simply rolled his eyes again, and this time, in exasperation.

"Lord Shen's their ruler." said a second sailor named Sneezy, as he took off his stocking hat and lifted his palm over his head to make it look like he was wearing a crown before putting the hat back on.

"He's got seven fair nieces." said a third sailor named Bashful, as he leaned in Ansem's face and whispered to him.

"And a witch of a sister named Eris." said a fourth sailor named Doc. He was pulling a full net of fish.

Ventus was confused. "Eris?"

"Evil and ugly and hungry for power!" answered Doc. He pulled one fish from the net and tossed it in the barrel, saying, "Lord Shen, he banished her off into exile. And there she lives now, just biding her time."

Then he began to sing.

Doc: *Fathoms below in the ocean*
*Lives Eris, witch of the sea*
*She plots, and she schemes*
*And she wickedly dreams*
*Of the day when she will return once more*

Cartoon characters: *Return to rule the ocean floor*
*She wants to be queen of the bottomless blue*
*And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho*
*So, Shenny, beware, there's a big one a-brewing*
*In mysterious fathoms below*

Ansem backed away, only to fall into the barrels. A fish got so scared that it jumped out and dived into the ocean.
