"Now, I shall complete the spell, and all the creatures of the Netherworld will be here forever, and I will rule the land." Warwick smirked as he looked into his reflection.
"Open up the book and find the perfect spell." Cherry said.
Warwick nodded and soon opened the book, but yelped at the holy light which proved to him that it was a Bible and Cherry soon smirked to that. Once he dropped his staff to block the light from The Bible, she picked it up.
"'Our father who art'-" Warwick began to read before glaring. "Wait a minute. This is not my spell book!"
"No, I'm afraid it's something more obnoxious than the Breaking Dawn series." Cherry retorted.
"You!" Warwick glared to her. "Hand me my staff, girl!"
"No!" Cherry glared back. "Oh, I hope I learned something in Magic Class... Um... Protectus!"
The spell then caused Warwick to fly back from the staff's power.
"Yes! It worked!" Cherry cheered.
"You traitor!" Warwick glared at Cherry. "I could've given you real magic! I could've made you fit right in at the Netherworld, unlike that half-witch and Wiccan you're friends with!"
"I'm happy with the life I have already, thank you very much!" Cherry glared back.
Meanwhile, Salem and the dogs ended up in the kitchen.
"Oh, sweet mama!" Budderball beamed. "Where there's a kitchen, there's gotta be food!"
"Quick! We need to hide before the Halloween Hound finds us!" Rosebud gasped.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Salem said before hiding.
Everyone soon split up to find their own hiding place.
"Mm... Perfect! Pickled eggs," Budderball smiled to a jar. "A fellow can't fight evil on an empty stomach."
"Oh... I feel hungry too, Budderball, but we should hide." Oddball told him.
"Oh, we will." Budderball nodded in agreement.
"Now, come on." Oddball told him.
"Just one egg?" Budderball asked.
"Well... All right, one egg, but then we have to go." Oddball compromised.
The two puppies then began to eat the snack as the lid was easy to get off and they didn't even need thumbs to open the jar up.
"Uh, guys? Those aren't eggs." Salem told them.
"Do I wanna know?" Patch asked.
"Those are... Eyeballs..." Salem replied.
"They're a bit rubbery." Budderball had to admit.
"Oi." Salem sighed.
Oddball suddenly looked uncomfortable about eating eyeballs, even though she sometimes ate socks. Hound soon came down the stairs which made the mood feel haunting due to his presence.
"Uh, dudes?!" MudBud yelped.
"No, seriously, MudBud, they're not that bad," Budderball smiled. "You want some?"
"Okay... Uh, Budderball... Oddball? Don't panic." Patch said.
"Why...?" Oddball whimpered slightly.
"Um, no reason." Patch smiled nervously.
"All right, guys, please don't panic, but the Halloween Hound is right behind you!" Rosebud replied.
"And we shouldn't panic?!" Budderball replied before looking behind him with Oddball.
"Hello, puppies~," Hound greeted darkly. "Just thought I would visit the kitchen for a late night snack."
"D-Don't you know a midnight snack ruins your appetite?" Oddball smiled nervously.
"Uh, all right, dawg, you win, but, take Budderball first," B-Dawg said. "He's got the most meat on his bones."
"B-Dawg!" Patch gave him a look for that.
"Actually, I'm not that tasty, really!" Budderball said to Hound, he then came to Oddball to protect her. "But you can't take Oddball! I won't let anyone hurt her!"
"Silence! I don't care who's first, you'll all end up in the same spot." Hound glared.
"What do we do now?" Salem asked.
"Trust me, dawgs, I got a plan." B-Dawg smiled.
"I really hope so." Patch said to him.
"B-Dawg has a plan?" MudBud asked in shock.
"I can have a plan," B-Dawg pouted before looking to his brother. "Yo, Budderball, when I tell you, let one rip."
"Erm... What does mean by that?" Salem asked nervously. "Please tell me that's slang for something else."
"Unfortunately, no." Patch told him.
"Oh, man..." Salem let out a groan as he knew what that meant.
Hound soon began to breathe to turn Budderball and Oddball to stone, but the Golden Retriever soon let one rip to counter out the power. "No! This can't be happening!" The evil dog cried out and he was turned to stone himself.
"Whoa." Salem blinked.
B-Dawg laughed to that. "Our secret weapon!"
"That was wicked, dude!" MudBud added.
"Kids." Salem rolled his eyes.
"That was disgusting, but affective." Oddball smiled.
"It takes years of practice." Budderball smirked.
"Good thinking, B-Dawg." Rosebud admitted.
"I knew Budderball's potion could neutralize anything, including the Halloween Hound." B-Dawg replied.
"The kids! Come on!" Buddha suggested.
"Yeah, who knows what that wizard is doing to them?" Oddball said.
"Warlock." Salem corrected.
"Isn't that the same thing?" Oddball asked him.
"It's not, it's a bit complicated to explain, but trust me." Salem replied as they went off.
Meanwhile, with the kids...
"About time you guys got up here." Cherry said.
"You're not turning on us?" Atticus asked. "Even if it means you'll be more powerful than Drell?"
"You really think I'd turn on you guys and join this guy's side? Not in a million years." Cherry told them.
"That's the best friend I know and love!" Atticus beamed before hugging her which let out a small pony squeak sound.
"Mushy..." Cherry muttered to him. "But yeah... I guess I really care about you guys that much."
"So then ready to recite the spell?" Monkey Mo asked.
"I guess so..." Cherry replied. "I guess I can really help if they let me apply for Magic Class in school after we found my grandmother and Atticus's aunt."
"Quickly, Cherry!" Joseph told her. "The sun is rising! Say the spell!"
Warwick groaned as he sounded like he was getting back up.
"Um... Ableo alica, quod etiam, bestia," Cherry soon tried her very best. "Quod inritus universitas res. Verto super Quod narro is thrice. All's ut eram inerferta furta. Dnuoh Neewollah Dnouh Neewollah. DNUOH NEEWOLLAH!"
The Netherworld spirits began to fly into the castle as she finished the spell.
"Yes!" Atticus cheered.
Cherry panted as that was hard.
"You okay?" Atticus asked.
"That was a little hard to read." Cherry replied.
"You're finished, Warwick!" Joseph mocked the warlock.
"Yeah, you're going to the Netherworld!" Monkey Mo added.
The spirits began to fly back into the mirror.
"I will take you with me!" Warwick glared.
Despite being an old mortal man, Joseph began to fight Warwick and stomped on his foot.
"Ooh, that had to hurt." Atticus smirked.
"It's you! That petulant child!" Warwick glared at Joseph as he was nearly in the mirror. "You're back!"
"The name is Joseph! Joseph Johnson!" Joseph glared back.
"Noooo!" Warwick yelled out as he soon flew into the mirror, straight back into the Netherworld, and the mirror seemed to fade as the portal closed with him in it.
"Now everyone should be free." Cherry said.
"Uh, what if he comes back?" Alice asked.
"I don't think that will happen again, Alice." Joseph replied.
"You sound so sure of yourself." Cherry said to him.
"He won't return after that crystal from the staff is smashed." Atticus said.
Cherry was about to do just that.
"Uh, Cherry, why not give someone else a turn?" Atticus suggested.
"Really?" Cherry asked. "Who?"
Atticus then gestured to Joseph. Cherry soon gave Joseph the staff so he would do the honors.
"Please, sir, you do the honors." Atticus smiled.
Joseph smiled back and he soon flung the staff with all his might and shattered the crystal into little bits. Not only did the crystal shatter, but so did the mirror's glass, and now the reflection was shown, and soon, everything was changed back to the way it was supposed to be.
"Fading... Fading... Gone..." Drell soon smiled as he didn't have his bad feeling anymore as Hilda and Zelda stood beside him.
"That's great!" Hilda cheered.
"Phew!" Zelda smiled in relief.
Maroot soon made a big sandwich for her son.
"Ooh, sardines..." Drell smiled as he took the sandwich and ate it right away.
"Yuck." Zelda cringed.
Maroot beamed to her son as she walked off.
"I'll be sure to congratulate Atticus later on." Drell said.
"How do you know Atticus saved the day?" Hilda asked. "It could've been Cherry, Mo, or Patch."
"Doesn't Atticus always save the day?" Drell shrugged.
"Who knows? It might've been one of the others this time." Hilda shrugged back.
"Meh, I'll go check in after I eat." Drell replied, eating his sandwich.
"Eat up, you've been so stressed~" Hilda cooed while Zelda rolled her icy blue eyes.
"Oh, yeah, totally." Zelda murmured.
Back in the Mortal Realm, everything was changing back to normal. Michelle smiled to Sabrina and high-fived her as they did good for what they could do with the citizens after they had become Warwick's brainwashed followers, and where they weren't sure how they got to the old house. Pip soon barked as he came back.
"Pip!" Joseph smiled to the beagle puppy.
Pip soon ran to the old man and they happily reunited with each other. Atticus and Mo smiled, happy for Pip and Joseph as she changed back to human.
"Oh, Mo!" Atticus beamed, hugging his girlfriend.
Mo smiled and hugged him right back.
"But where are the Buddies?" Bartleby asked.
As if on cue, The Buddies came from the corner as well as Patch, Oddball, and Salem.
"There they are." Mo smiled.
The kids happily reunited with their puppies. Patch smiled as that was always sweet to see the kids and the Buddies back together after an adventure.
"Come on, everyone!" Joseph laughed happily. "Let's get out of this evil place!"
"Oh, totally." Cherry said.
They soon rushed out as well as Pip's brothers and sisters.
"The cops?!" Mo's eyes widened slightly as they came out the front doors.
"Why are the cops here?" Atticus asked.
"You're under arrest for having a big head." Cherry smirked.
Atticus gave her a deadpan expression in reply.
"I haven't had an episode like this since that KISS concert in the 80's." Mr. Carroll smiled.
"Apparently." Cherry whispered to herself.
"Maybe now I can be a wise owl." Hoot suggested to himself as he perched in a tree.
"It's a new day at last." Joseph smiled as he hugged Pip.
"H-Hey, can we get some help over here?" Rodney asked as he and Skip were shown to be naked in the bushes.
"Yeah, it's cold!" Skip cried out. "Can someone find our clothes?!"
This was humiliating for the two bully boys. The Buddies' owners soon laughed, but they were all happy for all that they had done last night.
"Is anyone hurt?" Sheriff Dan asked. "I'd like to arrest that psycho who harassed us all last night."
"You won't have to worry about him, Sheriff. He's gone." Cherry said.
"Gone?" Sheriff Dan asked.
"No worries, we got it." Mo smiled.
"You kids always were the amazing ones." Sheriff Dan chuckled to Cherry, Atticus, and Mo.
'He's got that right.' Atticus thought to himself.
Eventually, since Halloween was over, everyone got out of their costumes, and began to have a normal day.
"Thank you so much for all your help, Mr. John-Ah, I mean, Joseph." Billy smiled to their new friend.
"It was a pleasure... Dawg." Joseph smirked.
"So, where are you headed?" Mo asked.
"Yeah, what are you gonna do now?" Alice added.
"Well, I tracked down Pip's brothers' and sisters' owners," Joseph replied. "They live all across America now, so we're all gonna visit. Figure it's about time Pip and I do some living. See the country."
"Sounds like fun, sir." Cherry replied.
"It's so great to have a new leash on life," Pip smiled. "I'll miss you, Buddies, you too, Oddball, and your Uncle Patch and Uncle Salem."
"We'll miss you too." Oddball smiled back.
Salem was soon heard sobbing his trademark cry.
"Aw, Salem." Patch said to the black cat.
"I-I'm not crying... I just got something in my eye." Salem replied.
"Sure, we'll go with that." Patch said.
"I'm glad we could help you, Pip." Oddball smiled.
"Yo dawg, we'll catch ya on the flip-side." B-Dawg added.
"I think what my brother's saying is, we'll never forget you." Buddha stated.
"Hang loose, dude." MudBud smiled.
"And be sure to enjoy every food you eat." Patch said.
"You can say that again," Budderball agreed. "Pip, you need to check out the chili cheese dogs at every town you visit, and tell us which one's the best."
"Have a great time, Pip." Rosebud smiled.
"Goodbye, Buddies." Pip smiled back.
"We hope to see you again." Oddball smiled back.
"Maybe someday." Pip replied.
Joseph soon picked up Pip as it was time for them to go. "I haven't felt this spry in years," he then smiled as Pip licked his face. "We better hit the road. Bye, kids."
"Bye, Mr. Johnson!" The kids replied and waved to him.
Joseph soon drove off with the beagle puppies. After that, everyone went off to do their own thing.
Cherry walked home, but saw a note in the toaster, and she looked around before turning on the garbage disposal, about to put the note inside so she could pretend that she didn't get it.
"Don't even." Drell's voice glared.
"Gah!" Cherry yelped and smiled nervously. "Sir...?"
"Could I see you in my office right now?" Drell's voice asked her.
"Yes, sir." Cherry replied nervously.
Cherry soon made her way to Drell's office. "Oh, man, what does he want now?" she sighed to herself, feeling unfortunate already.
The door opened to show Atticus and Mo as they came out the office.
"Atticus and Mo?" Cherry asked.
"We told Drell what you did." Mo said to her.
"You did?" Cherry asked.
"Yeah, he came to congratulate me... Then I told him I didn't do it." Atticus replied.
"Then he asked me, and I said I didn't do it either, and we both told him that you cast the spell and sent Warwick away." Mo added.
"So... He's not mad at me...?" Cherry asked, a bit hopeful.
Atticus and Mo shook their heads with smiles to her.
"Whew." Cherry sighed.
"You better go in there though before he does get angry." Mo suggested.
Cherry grinned sheepishly and stepped inside of the warlock's office as it always haunted her whenever she had to go in, but she gulped down her fear as she attempted to be brave and strong-willed since she had to deal with him for so long, and where she soon got to her seat.
"Cherry... Welcome..." Drell greeted.
"Sir." Cherry replied.
"So, the others have told me that you recited the spell..." Drell said. "Even though you aren't a witch, Wiccan, or a wizard."
"That's right, sir." Cherry said.
"What made you think you could do that?" Drell asked.
"Uh, well, I dunno..." Cherry shrugged nervously. "I guess I kinda got caught up in the excitement."
"Well, I'm proud of you." Drell smiled.
"Wow... Really?" Cherry asked.
"Of course," Drell replied. "That was rather brave of you, Cherry."
"Oh... Well, thank you!" Cherry then smiled back.
"And as a reward, we'll watch an adventure that won't involve you or the others and will be on the Eternia that will happen a week from now." Drell told her.
"Wait... We'll be on Eternia, watching an adventure?" Cherry asked, trying to process all of that.
"No, we'll be watching an adventure that will be on Eternia while we are on Earth." Drell told her.
"Oh... Okay then..." Cherry shrugged. "I guess only He-Man and maybe She-Ra will have an adventure then like that time we watched Sinbad."
"Yep, and where they'll get their own little brother, but not in the biological way, but more like in the adoptive way and their little brother will be from Earth." Drell said.
"Um... Who is it?" Cherry asked him, leaning forward slightly.
"Do you want me to spoil the surprise?" Drell smirked.
"Why not? You have before." Cherry muttered slightly.
"Fair point," Drell shrugged. "His name is Rodan, and where he's a run away orphan because, well, no one wants to adopt him because of his, um, unique imagination."
"Rodan..." Cherry repeated. "That's an interesting name."
"Says Cherry." Drell teased.
Cherry stuck her tongue out at him in response when he wasn't looking.
"Anyway, in a week from now, that adventure will start." Drell said.
Cherry soon took out her daily planner, and wrote that down.
"I thought you guys could use a little break," Drell said. "I think I'm getting soft with you kids."
"Maybe just a little." Cherry said.
Drell soon patted her on the head.
"Ow, ow, ow!" Cherry said.
"I am not hurting you," Drell rolled his eyes. "Anyway, be ready to watch this adventure in one week."
"Yes, sir..." Cherry replied, straightening out her hair.
"You're dismissed." Drell told her.
Cherry nodded and soon left to go out the door, taking a small breath of relief.
And where the week would go by fast and the reward come.
"These long school days, man." Atticus joked.
"You're hilarious." Cherry replied.
"Well, at least we won't have to go on any adventures." Patch said.
"For a while now anyway..." Cherry said.
"Yeah, that's true." Patch agreed, and where soon, they would watch the adventure that would happen.
"All right, are you all comfortable?" Drell asked.
They soon nodded to him.
"All right, let's get this show on the road." Drell said, taking out a remote to show them the adventure which would be for next time.
The End
