Disclaimer: I don't own Phineas and Ferb, The Shadow or Phillip Flynn. I do own Marissa Flynn
Please review and enjoy!
Ferbalot was outside in the backyard wondering where Phineas had gone. He'd been missing for days, and the wizardling/knightling wondered where his brother was. He'd been worried. He sat under the tree next to Parable the Dragonpus. Parable also wondered where Phineas was. He wondered how the boys felt now that they know he wasn't a mindless dragonpus at all. Marivere walked out holding one of Ferbalot's favorite snacks. She sat down next to him and Ferbalot nestled against her.
"Do you think he's okay?" Ferbalot asked, "I mean...he left that day...so upset. What if he got captured or hurt? What if Malifishmirtz captured him and killed him or turned him into a dark wizardling?!"
"Actually you're slightly right," a voice said behind them.
Marivere saw the shadows lifting a small boy with a triangular head and wearing a grey hat at the top. But how could they tell with the shadows obscuring the boy's figure? Marivere and Ferbalot knew that shape of head anywhere. All that could be seen was his sickly green eyes glaring at them. At first they were frightened as they stared at him, but then they realized it was Phineas...
"Phineas!" Marivere cried out, "We've been so worried about you."
"Yes," Medieval Phineas said quietly and evilly, "I'm sure you have been Marivere."
Suddenly, a shadow ball formed into one of his hands and he shot it toward Ferbalot. It was then that they realized what he meant by 'slightly right'.
"You're...a dark wizardling now...Malifishmirtz got to you," Marivere said.
Parable approached him and he rubbed his head against the wizardling. Everyone knows they don't become known as wizards until they are the age of sixteen. Medieval Phineas pet the dragonpus and a smile could be seen as his face lightened up and softened.
"Hi Parable," he said cheerfully.
It was strange seeing such a dark figure be so friendly with his pet. Parable worried about him. He was going to kill that Malifishmirtz now...just one problem.
"Phineas, Malifishmirtz turned you into a dark wizardling, didn't he?" Marivere asked.
"Again, you're slightly right, sister," Medieval Phineas said facing her and continuing to pet Parable, "I actually went to him."
Marivere and Ferbalot gasped and Parable backed away. They couldn't believe Phineas would do this...turning into a dark wizardling by choice...what happened to love conquers all and not wanting to be evil? Ferbalot pondered on why Phineas would do this, and it hit him as Marivere asked why he would do such a thing.
"Phineas, why would you use dark magic voluntarily?" she asked fearfully.
Medieval Phineas was about to answer, but was interrupted by Ferbalot, "Excaliferb!"
"What?" Marivere asked.
"Phineas turned to dark magic because he wanted revenge on me for the whole Excaliferb fiasco! He feels he didn't get praise and appreciation he deserved, so he wanted revenge," Ferbalot replied.
"Phineas, is this true?"
Medieval Phineas just floated there with the evil look and he glared at Ferbalot. "Yes, yes it is."
Phillip carried Isabella into the house and set her on Marissa's bed. She wasn't bleeding, but she was still hurt extremely. They put the covers over her so they could still see her. Ferb sat next to the bed. He didn't understand...she likes Phineas...not him. Why would she give her life for him? He looked at her and waited for her to wake...Candace entered the room and sat next to him and he nestled against her. He wondered if he'd ever get Phineas back. Candace wondered the same for both Phineas...and Marissa. Why did her dad have to take her away like that? If he never would have taken Marissa, she wouldn't have been crazy about busting the boys and she never would have treated them so badly and yelled at Phineas causing him to be possessed. If anybody was to blame for what happened to Phineas it was Phillip. She stomped out of the room and walked up to her father.
"This is all your fault!" she shouted.
"But Phineas, what about you not wanting to be evil?" Marivere asked.
"After some thought, I found that I changed my mind realizing that I'm much too...powerful and have too much potential to be a good wizardling. Plus," Medieval Phineas said and lifted Ferbalot using his telekinetic energy, "Dark magic is much cooler and more fun."
"Phineas Flynn, you put him down now!" a voice yelled.
Medieval Phineas turned to see Candivere, his mother and stepfather standing at the doorway. Candivere smiled in a way that annoyed everyone. Marivere, Medieval Phineas and even Ferbalot rolled their eyes as she said the following words..."Busted."
"Seriously Candivere? You think that I'm just going to...what's the phrase 'come quietly'?" Medieval Phineas taunted.
The image faded and Phineas found himself back in the room of memories. He looked up at Marivere who he could tell couldn't bear to see anymore. He understood completely. After all, Marivere lived this memory once. She didn't need to watch it again. She gave him an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry...I just couldn't bear to see anymore," Marivere said, and Ohio Flynn and Rhode Island Fletcher approached.
"Marivere, is there any way to stop him?" Phineas asked.
"That's what we're going to show you Phineas," Ohio said and led Phineas to a memory past this dusty one.
The Shadow was battling...Ferbalot. Suddenly Ferbalot took out Excaliferb and it glowed. The Shadow sent a beam that was shades of black and purple at Excaliferb which sent another beam combined with Ferbalot's power. The beam was shades of gold and silver and it seemed to surpass The Shadow's dark magic. It was like Voldemort vs. Harry Potter. The beams collided and pushed on each other, but the power of Excaliferb combined with Ferbalot was too much. A bright light took the place of The Shadow and when it faded, he was gone. Ferbalot collapsed in weakness and dropped the sword which was glowing for a split few seconds...and then it passed and the sword lay on the ground. Ferbalot hyperventilated...it was hard and power draining, but he did it...he defeated The Shadow...
Phineas looked for Marivere, but she was nowhere. Her body wasn't even there anymore. He of course knew that this part occurred right after he murdered Marivere...but where was she?
"Um, Ohio, where's Marivere?" Phineas asked.
"We're getting there. Right now you need to understand that there is a way to stop The Shadow...but certainly not easy. Now, follow us," Ohio said and they led Phineas to another couple memories just ahead of it.
Ohio held up a weird looking locket Phineas recognized instantly, Rhode Island held up the Excaliferb sword and Isabella (from Panama obviously) held up the Amulet of Juatchadoon which Phineas recognized from the story of the Temple of Juatchadoon. The Shadow was in the center of the three of them and beams erupted from the three items and hit The Shadow. The Shadow screeched out with fury.
"NO! I won't go back! I won't!" The Shadow shouted.
"Your reign of terror is OVER, Shadow!" Ohio shouted.
The Shadow fought, but with Ohio, Rhode Island and Isabella combined with the three items: the locket with the five elements, the amulet of Juatchadoon and Excaliferb, they were stronger. As The Shadow began to screech, they knew he was getting weaker as he shouted.
"You can't do this! I will escape again!"
The three ignore the spirit and continue to blast him as he continues to roar and screech. As he starts to fade, he screams out one more shriek.
"Fine then, if I'm going, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!" The Shadow screeches and black beams of energy grab Ohio, Rhode Island and Isabella. Their screams are the last thing heard before the sword, amulet and locket fell to the ground...the sword glowing like the last memory Phineas watched.
"So Excaliferb is required to defeat The Shadow," Phineas said.
"Yes, without Excaliferb, The Shadow cannot be defeated or even trapped," Ohio said.
"Wait...that's what he did to Marivere. He took her ghost when Ferbalot imprisoned him...didn't he?"
"Yes, just like he took us...and Isabella."
As if on cue, a new ghost emerged from behind a bubbled. She looked exactly like the girl holding the amulet of Juatachadoon, and Phineas figured it out.
"You're...the ghost of Isabella...aren't you...Isabella Garcia Shapiro from 1914," he said.
"Yes, yes I am..."
A/N: Well that's that for this chapter. Thanks to all the reviewers. I'm too tired right now to acknowledge and respond, but I will acknowledge and respond to you for both chapters next chapter.
