Memories: A Suite Life/Waverly Place Crossover
Chapter 13:
Around 8:22 P.M., earlier in the second time around for day restart…
Over the intercom, a agent confirmed to an ironically less skeptical Harper that a bush made of cotton candy just appeared unexplainably on Turtle Island. She urged with a sudden rush of priority, "then take Alex, Justin, Max, and T.J. into custody for medical testing. I'll explain later…just hurry!" Harper muttered as she rushed out of the office, "only a wizard could've accomplished that…?(!) And why…do I have a feeling that I've said those words before?" She made her way up the lighthouse elevator, leading a team of six agents into the centralized forest terrain of Turtle Island. Little did Harper know that her operations were facing darker trouble…which means she didn't know, out of being too busy with trying to stop the spell chaos to notice.
Some minutes into resumed time, past frozen time…
Back around the same office was a Monster Hunter, standing alongside the then closed office door. Weirdly, he had some gold colored FBI badge detailing directly on his cyborg parts…as if the Monster Hunter was an FBI executive for years. This of course was connected to the widening spell chaos, so all it would take would be a spell thought to change around executive status. He was muttering to another Monster Hunter over a built-in walkie-talkie, "now I know Harper might mean well, but when she tells us one thing and then something completely opposite of…" The Monster Hunter on the other end interrupted, "you sure you didn't contradict Harper's orders yourself?" The executive Monster Hunter begun to suggest, "it seems that Harper's actions are becoming more…questionable than Miranda's. Haven't you noticed, that ever since Harper took charge…?" Some Monster Hunters called out over walkie-talkie, "sir, the monsters…!" Both transmissions went out loudly…followed by even louder crashes, splashes, and rumbles.
At this point of the second day restart, the Earth's land formations were beginning to be pulled into the forming Wizard World breach…and the underground FBI headquarters under Turtle Island was starting to shake under physical stress from that breach. Pieces of the ceiling began to come down like dusty hail. The executive Monster Hunter reactively tumbled away from the door, almost being hit by a large fallen chunk of ceiling. Computer systems exploded, setting already caving in offices on fire…doors included. Eight or so Monster Hunters with FBI badge detailing were launching water blasts at the flames, trying their best to put it out. The mentioned executive muttered, "what the…?(!)" This Monster Hunter suddenly saw a more startling sight, down this headquarters' main hallway. Many monsters were jumping straight through the already collapsing headquarters' ceiling, landing into the hallway with a cloud of dust and ceiling remains. At the same time, monster hybrid Amber and monster hybrid Johnny came charging behind the Monster Hunters that were trying to put out the office flames.
Amber in coyote form unexpectedly tore through a surprised Monster Hunter's tubes, right before being impulsively knocked onto the floor by the same Monster Hunter. Johnny in capybara form tackled from behind a second Monster Hunter, who had its tubes and built-in walkie ripped to pieces by Johnny's claws. Soon though, the tackled Monster Hunter jerked a piece of leaking water pipes into Johnny's chest, sending groaning Johnny into the floor with a thud from the water burst. A second water burst came from the Monster Hunter that Amber tore tubing from…sending that Monster Hunter into a direct crash course with a office wall. Under the many islands of the Great Lakes was a bunch more sections of FBI headquarters…all suffering the same fate of collapsing ceilings and monster breakouts. The islands of the Great Lakes themselves were being ripped out of the Great Lakes, getting pulled into the Wizard World breach. The thin layers of ground under the FBI headquarters begun to give way, with cracks starting to be visible in the shaking floor tiles. But the Monster Hunters and stressed monsters within didn't care…despite the fact that a lot of falling ceiling chunks took out random monsters and Monster Hunters.
All either side cared about was that they could take the other side down for the good of their own survival. A bunch of monsters mysteriously fell unconscious, and Monster Hunters started to interestingly vanish out of sight…both from widespread spell chaos. Amber and Johnny's exceptionally strong sneak attack efforts became itself a thought spell…which began to unexpectedly bring monsters back to consciousness. Monsters called out a number of things in rebellion, which wasn't limited to these cries: "Charge!" "You won't take us again!" "Down with our captors!" "With a will!" Monster Hunters just called out orders in growing stress, while blasting from their tubes fire, wind, and water at remaining conscious monsters. Some Monster Hunters were unexpectedly kicked or punched by the monsters returning to consciousness, setting off quite a few Monster Hunters' focuses. Elemental blasts crashed into remains of offices, hallways, monsters, and Monster Hunters…with accompanied explosions and unnerving impacts. Many bodies disappeared and fell in the chaotic monster war of claws and elemental powers.
Yet, something suspicious and even more unexpected was going on…within the dim elevator that could go up to Turtle Island's lighthouse. The Directorate of Intelligence, with his double layered FBI uniform, was talking to someone inside that pod shaped elevator. Miley sharply muttered, "I thought…you were going to clear up what happened to my family." The Directorate sighed, "Miley…we went over this before." With the press of a remote's button, he revealed from within the pod's cushioned panel a recognizable hot chocolate thermos. Miley sighed herself, "I know…I just thought someone of your position could find a better way." The Directorate urged with a thick tone, "with a monster revolution taking things out on computers and people, this elevator is the only better way left." Miley nervously picked up the thermos, looking back at the Directorate. She gulped, "but I'm…scared that I'll have another nightmare from the past." At this time of this day restart, the Wizard World breach was beginning to engulf the remains of Earth…for the islands from the Great Lakes were already floating within the Wizard World vortex. The Directorate figuratively pushed, "without much memory, without the past…wouldn't you get even more scared, when the past would find its own way back to you?"
Miley started to give in uneasily, "will you…wake me up, if my past gets too scary?" The Directorate grinned mysteriously, "of course." Miley with both hands took off the top of the upright thermos. Some steam came out of the hot chocolate filled thermos. Miley smiled with teary eyes of blended feelings, "thank you…cousin." She was about to drink from the slightly tipping thermos, when Luanne suddenly appeared in the elevator to the Directorate's strong shock. The Directorate called out, "Luanne?(!)" Miley let the thermos slip from her fingers in confused shock, with hot chocolate spilling on the elevator's floor. She turned around to face her evil cousin Luanne, teary eyed for a sadder reason. Luanne broke the momentary silence with a snort chuckle, "looks like you've been caught at last." Miley glared at Luanne. She retorted with hidden nervousness, "not really…witch of a cousin. This man is actually a cousin of ours in disguise." The Directorate disguised person added, "I'm keeping her safe from the police, until it's no longer needed." Luanne sighed, "poor girl…trying to put on a good show with poor ventriloquism." The established to be fake Directorate rebelled, "I'm no one's puppet…and certainly not one of yours, Luanne!"
Luanne suddenly raised a hand up, lifting the struggling fake Directorate off his feet to float in the elevator. She offered strangely happy, "You tell me what Miley did to bribe you, and you can get down….puppet." Miley went open eyed in noticeable fear, at Luanne's fearful abilities. The fake Directorate truthfully told her with a strangely calm chuckle, "I assure you, Miley did not persuade me…whereas I offered Miley a chance to get a life back." Luanne with a thought spell hurled the fake Directorate against a elevator wall, who groaned with pain. Miley sat down next to the Directorate in concern, to check if he was physically ok. Luanne exclaimed angrily, "cousins or not, y'all won't take away my influential power as Hannah Montana!" Luanne was starting to turn into a eagle humanoid…although no one seemed to care to notice her developing feathers and claws. Monster hybrid Luanne used a partially closed fist to cast a thought spell, which made her thought lasso reappear. The fake Directorate whispered to Miley, "there's something…I should tell you." Miley urged skeptically, "but Luanne is about to…!"
The fake Directorate insisted, "take another look." Miley looked around, realizing that time had frozen with Luanne in mid-lasso toss. Miley begun to say in amazed interest, "sweet niblets! What is…?" All of a sudden, the time disturbance around the Wizard World collapsed…and the day restarted again. Freezing time a second time created a small time disturbance, which was enough to nudge the time disturbance collapse to happen slightly sooner than before. The end of the time loop was coming near.
On the last and third day restart, back at a familiar elevator…
The fake Directorate whispered to Miley, "there's something…I should tell you." Miley urged skeptically, "but Luanne is about to…" The fake Directorate insisted, "take another look." Miley looked around, realizing that time had frozen with Luanne in mid-lasso toss. Miley said in amazed interest, "sweet niblets! What is this?" A thought spell that extended the frozen time here came from the small time disturbance in the second day restart…which as a time loop related aftereffect affected the third day restart. The fake Directorate got back up with a sigh. He deduced, "that's what I need to tell you! I recently found out from some very noticeable events around here…that somehow everyone around here has been given the power to turn thoughts into realistic spells." Miley laughed warmly, "yeah, right." The phony Directorate insisted with frustration, "I'm serious here. Can you think of another explanation for time freezing around us, and not freezing us as well?" Miley gave in, "you know, when you put it that way, I can't think of another one." The imposter Directorate nudged further, "now you don't even need that special cocoa to help set things right…all you have to do is think it." Miley smiled a little, "ya think so, huh?" The imposter Directorate returned the smile with one of his own.
Just before the expected to collapse time disturbance could reset the day again, a strong spell thought from Miley and the unnamed imposter brought the time disturbance to an end. The Wizard World crash seemed to rewind in time as an aftereffect: Earth and the Wizard World emerged as separate worlds, many pieces of land returned to their place on Earth, everyone back where they were, the lowering winds of the yellowish whirlwind, and the disappearing bluish cloud. However, everything that happened underground on Earth and in the Wizard World still happened. This is simply because the underground monster revolution, the spell battle in the Wizard World vortex, and the elevator drama had gone on almost completely unchanged…without the Wizard World breach. The only significant change on these events by Miley's spell thought was that the monster revolution was being put to rest…across the Earth, within every FBI headquarters. This time, when the Monster Hunters' focuses were set off by unexpected monster attacks, elemental blasts did not chaotically crash into things at random. Instead, the elemental blasts crashed into each other. Huge clouds of hot steam clouded the remains of hallways and offices.
Monster Hunters, monsters, and watching government agents were swept off their feet by a superstrong gust of wind…before any of them could dodge it. Shouts and gasps for air echoed across the headquarters' halls. Monsters, FBI agents, and Monster Hunters crashed into flying remains of furniture, walls, ceiling chunks, elevators, and floor tiles. For unexplained magical reasons, the superstrong winds didn't move beyond the wrecked FBI headquarters. Lots of monsters, government agents, and Monster Hunters landed on the floors' remains…in unconscious piles of bodies. Everything else that remained within the FBI headquarters was bunches of junk scraps…and the tons of dirt that buried them. Bluish fog covered the many unconscious bodies, acting as spread out metaphysical shields. The magical fog protected the barely breathing bodies from being buried, as well as from becoming victim to a worser fate. On a minor side note, the real Directorate appeared in the whirlwind...to end up in unconsciousness himself.
Around the start of the magically contained whirlwind…
Time had resumed for Miley and the Directorate disguised person. Luanne magically vanished from sight…too unconscious elsewhere to fully become a humanoid eagle. Miley figured, "at least…" Suddenly, the elevator began to get shaken by the whirlwind, banging into the widening elevator shaft. Jerks came from the strained elevator cables. The people in the elevator lost their balance, bumping against each other and the walls with minor dizziness. The Directorate imposter thought struggled to hold his disguise together…as the thought spells from him and Miley sent them away from the elevator. Minutes later, the same elevator broke into pieces of junk.
Back on Turtle Island's surface, a small while before the whirlwind…
Harper sighed, "there was a brief reading of heightened brainwave activity for a few minutes of relocated patients beginning to return to consciousness, but paramedics thought it was a false alarm. Maybe it really was…" Maddie went open eyed in chilling realization, "T.J. putting most of humanity back to sleep…not taking any chances with who was put in charge of what by the International Business Flip." Bailey begun to offer, "you think that someone, or something could've started…?" Cody figured, "a time loop? I'm beginning to have a strong sense that someone did." Harper urged warily, "more likely from T.J.'s spell powers than from one of us." Maddie reasoned, "on another note, the psychics and monsters might have special immunities toward mind related spells."
When time resumed, around the start of the ending time loop's aftereffects…
Bailey, Maddie, Harper, and Cody turned around to the direction that agents were looking at…to see again a certain bluish cloud a far distance away. As quickly as it appeared, two bluish lightning bolts struck the ocean. Bailey asked in wonderment, "what is that?" Cody muttered with astounded eyes, "I still don't know…but…" Suddenly, the forming yellowish whirlwind over the Pacific Ocean begun to shrink in size. The bluish cloud vanished into the night sky. A big thump sounded off from Earth's somewhat shaken landmasses…which had returned to their places on Earth. However, because of that, the underground FBI headquarters' ceilings still caved in. Time resumed once more. Cody slightly chuckled, "bye bye, déjà vu." Forest ground of Turtle Island started to give way, with some growing dust clouds around falling trees and bushes. Bailey urgently urged, "Cody!" Cody focused back on Turtle Island in fearful shock, realizing everyone on it was in danger. Agents were knocked off their balance, but some tumbled out of the way fast enough. Harper and Maddie had already started running, trying to get out of range of the endangered Turtle Island landscape.
Harper called out in coughs on her walkie, "this is…a priority one…message to all…available agents. Get operation…Gas Giant…underway! I repeat, get…!" In the blurry confusion of the dust clouds, she suddenly tripped over a fallen bush. Harper in internal terror fell towards the caving in ground below, but was thankfully saved by a spell thought from Maddie. A brief magical gust of wind hurled Harper back onto solid ground. She was coughing strongly, but was still conscious. Maddie suggested with coughs of her own, "any…bet…ter…place?" Harper smiled thoughtfully, as her spell thoughts took her and Maddie elsewhere. Determined Cody and Bailey used mutual spell thoughts to reverse nearly all of the effects of the ground related cave ins…saving thousands of people and natural landscapes across the world. Such spell thoughts though took a lot out of Cody and Bailey, who laid down on the ground to catch their breath. The only effect here that hadn't been reversed was Harper and Maddie's mystical departure…because they left for elsewhere before they could be affected by Cody and Bailey's thought spells.
During the spell thought related reversal and end of the ground cave ins…
At the still being remodeled Aim Hotel in Boston, magic struck. A minute later though, to the astoundment of the working FBI agents, they saw something truly remarkable. The Aim Hotel and its surrounding terrain had abruptly become completely rebuilt, due to the widening range of the spell chaos. One of the workers commented, "well, I'm not going to report it." Thinking no one would believe them anyway, the FBI agents in the area just returned to their temporary living quarters to enjoy some time off for their finished work. Actually, more buildings that were expected to continue being remodeled overnight…were also being completely rebuilt by the widening spell thought chaos. Of course, most of the agents weren't complaining about it.
In one of the buildings though that didn't need much remodeling, Max, the three depowered Gigis, and depowered Justin appeared. They arrived back at the abandoned Timeless Sand restaurant in Waverley Place. Even the unconscious bodies from this restaurant were moved elsewhere, because of Monster Hunter efforts from earlier to end the Wizard chain lightning time loop. Justin let go of what he was holding, about the same time he landed on the floor with a groan. One of the Gigis muttered, "it sure doesn't look very private." Another Gigi commented, "but it sure is exotic." Max muttered to himself, "there…we go." He had spell thought Justin's body to be stuck in a giant marshmallow. Justin struggled to break out, gasping for air with his head sticking out of the marshmallow. Gigi 3 giggled with twisted approval, "too bad there isn't a camera." Max confirmed, "yeah. Oh, here's one." A camera came to Max out of his spell thoughts. Another Gigi nervously urged, "umm, girls?" Suddenly, a freezer at the back of this Timeless Sand exploded in flames to the others' growing nervousness. Behind the former freezer was a portal to the Russos' Wizard Lair, which still remained. T.J., reawakened due to the spell chaos, was coming towards them with raging anger.
He called out, "time to show you payback!" T.J. spell thought some tables into real magic carpets, which moved by themselves at the three Gigis and Max. T.J. rode on one of the self moving carpets, charging at Max. A Gigi chuckled, "like a carpet would be tougher than us." The Gigis tried to jump onto the quick moving carpets to control them, but they unnervingly landed on the floor when they missed. Max spell thought himself to fly at T.J. He muttered, "you know, if it were a less busy time…I wouldn't mind." T.J. chuckled, "you have a heart after all…why don't I break it in?" Max suddenly teleported away to T.J.'s frustration. Only a second later, Max appeared behind T.J. to kick him off of the carpet. Unfortunately, the carpet jerked downwards to hurl Max against his giant marshmallow. The Gigis had their legs and arms wrapped tight by magic carpets, unable to break free. From the Russos' Wizard Lair, a recovered Harper and Maddie walked into the restaurant's back kitchen. The two ducked from sight when they saw the crazy scene. Harper wondered in a whispered exclamation, "why's T.J. here?(!) I thought since the time loop stopped…" Maddie assured her confidently, "no worries. If he tries anything worse, our thoughts will prevent it." Harper nodded in somewhat better understanding.
