Ch 7
Morgan cackled as Gwen screamed as boils appeared over her face. She was angry that Artie was the ruler of Far, Far Away, not her. She'd been told by Merlin that she had powerful potential to do great things with her magic.
"Once I have the Sword in the Stone, Excalibur, nobody can stop me, not even Artie and his crew of losers!" she thought as Tiffany tried to cheer Gwen up. Inogen had a feeling that something wasn't right with the social food chain. She along with Gareth and Anwas enjoyed seeing the jousting team butt naked thanks to Morgan but were worried that they'd be next. "Don't worry babe. She won't hurt you. She adores your Dad. It's us you've got to worry about, okay?" Anwas told her as they ate crème brulee that Gareth had made.
Morgan then approached the Sword in the Stone. She was about to pull it out when she saw a huge crowd of kids walk past. "Damn! I'll have to wait until night fall to do it! If Pynchley finds out, I'm dragon meat!" she cursed to herself but got an idea. She then went to her locker and pulled out a vial of potion she'd made. It was Bad Dream fog. If she put it in the air, every student in campus would have nightmares tonight. She watched as the fog made the shape of a dragon as it entered Worchester air.
Merlin was worried as he felt bad vibes from the school. "What's wrong?" Artie asked him. "A student at Worchester is the one causing the trouble. One I thought had great potential to do good in this realm." he replied softly. He hoped Shrek and Fiona along with Snowgre could stop Morgan before she took things too far. Snowgre was excited but worried as he lay in his bunk in the cabin. He couldn't sleep. Shrek couldn't sleep either. But in Worchester Morgan smiled as she put a hand on Excalibur and recited a spell. She laughed as she felt it's immense power entering her body. "Yes! Now I have the power to change things! Soon Artie you'll be no longer a king and you'll be a loser again while I rule." she cackled as she heard piercing screams of her fellow students as they had terrible nightmares.
"I don't see why they're bugging. I have nightmares when I s;eep and it doesn't bother me." she thought as she walked back to her dorm room. She came from a family of sorceroresses so she'd made her room into a coven. She was a Spell Spinner and on the low part of the social order but she'd changed all that the past few days. She then glowed with dark magic as she began to cast a spell.
Let all those jocks, Ladies of the Lake and all those other fools who dared mock me become like me! Turn them into Gothic followers of me and help me overthrow my cousin Arthur of Dorketh!" she said. A dark cloud covered the sky over the campus. "This doesn't look good!" Gareth said as he, Anwas and Inogen took cover. Shrek, Fiona and Snowgre then arrived at Worchester in time to see the dark cloud rain purple glittering tears. "You don't see that every day." Snowgre remarked as it rained on him. Shrek and Fiona had taken cover under a roof in the court yard. Morgan cackled as most of the students fell under her spell.
Their skin turned grey and their bright clothes and gowns became black and Goth like. "Perfect! In a few days the spell will be complete! Then Artie will feel my power. He thinks I'm nothing but little Miss Goth chick, well he's got another thing coming!" she yelled as her anger simmered within. But then something appeared in a flash of black smoke. It was the Two Headed Sprit Serpent. Morgan screamed in glee. "I can't believe you're here!" she said creaming in glee.
"Yes Morgan I'm here. I've heard all about you. The pain and suffering you must've felt when the Ladies of the Lake and the jocks picked on you and the other Spell Spinners now you can rule over many kingdoms. Your parents would be proud. I talk to them in the spirit world." it hissed to her as it wrapped itself around her but bit her. It was giving her immortality so that her enemies couldn't kill her. The bite turned into a skull. "You mean they're dead?" she asked it. "Yes. Those peasants in your town burned them at the stake in the village you lived in. I'm so sorry." it answered. Hatred blazed in the young Goth's eyes at that.
"They'll pay for that! All those who made fun of me and my family will pay especially Artie! I can't wait until I send his loserly ghost to the spirit world!" she yelled angrily. The two headed serpent smiled at that. Shrek looked worried at the students. They didn't look themselves. "Honey look at Snowgre! He's like them!" Fiona told him. He was worried. Something wasn't right and it had something to do with Morgan...
Merlin shivered as he felt dark magical energy come from Worchester. "What's up magic man?" Snow White asked him. "Morgan has stolen the magic from Excalibur. With it, she can do any evil thing she wants." he answered her. "Who's Morgan?" Lillian asked him. "She's my cousin. She hates my guts because I've been destined to rule since I was born. She's also a Goth. She's a Spell Spinner. I hope Shrek and the others can stop her." Artie told her. She understood. "Artie she may be a Goth and your cousin but she's not all evil. She was the best student in my Magic class. Her parents told her it was her destiny to take Excalibur's magic and she's been pumped to do it since she got to Worchester but I've been trying to make her see there's goodness in her and I was getting through to her but I was wrong." Merliun replied.
Back at Worchester Morgan smiled. A few days had passed and most of the student body had become her Goth soldiers ready to obey her commands. Their skin was pale, they had black lips, the girls wore black gowns and looked like they were undead. They had a purple pentagram mark on their heads. The boys were wearing black rock style clothes and the jousting team along with Lancelot were wearing black armour and carried powerful cross bows and axes.
"Oh no!" Shrek yelled. "What's wrong?" Fiona asked him. "Morgan turned the entire student body into her Goth army. I'm worried." he replied. She looked at Snowgre. He'd became a Goth soldier. He had purple eyes, wore a black jumpsuit with tassels in the middle of it with black gloves and black trousers with long black boots. He had a black pentagram mark on his pale skinned head. "Snowg you okay?" he asked nervously but Snowgre grabbed him by his vest. "I must bring you to Morgan. She'll take good care of you." Snowgre said as he knocked Shrek out with some magic. Fiona had hidden herself so she could save her husband. Morgan smiled as Snowgre brought Shrek to her. "So your cousin came here to stop me eh? Where's Artie? I know he'd be here with you." she told Snowgre. "He's not with me you freak! He's back in Far, Far Away in the castle." Shrek told her.
Snowgre then bowed before her. "You're welcome my lady. Shall I lead your army to Far, Far Away?" he told her. An evil smile crossed the teen's face. "Yes do it! Artie will never know what hit him." she replied. He then began to walk into the ship that was parked beside the gates and sailed off. Fiona hoped it wasn't too late. "Let's see if I can break your spirit." Morgan said to Shrek as he lay on the floor of her coven dorm room in shackles.. He watched as a blast of dark magic hit his chest. It hurt and everything went into total darkness...
