As the team neared the palace we saw that something seemed different, and I don't mean the missing tower either.
"Looks like Voldemort made a throne room for himself," I said. "Aladdin you go on ahead to the original throne room, we'll head for the new one."
Aladdin, Abu, and Carpet flew to the original throne room, while the team flew to the new one. When the team landed on the roof, a portal opened and Buckbeak went through it. Ron W turned his watch off – since I promised I'd show up later – and Harry spied on Voldemort through a window. He reported to the others that Voldemort was still in wolf form and comfortable on his throne – as if he didn't expect us – eating treats. I was nowhere in sight, unlike poor Jasmine. We found out later that she was being forced to be a slave for Jafar.
Harry, Ron W, and Hermione got into their compartments and Rip flew everyone through a window, startling Voldemort.
"End of the line Jafar!" Harry said. "Or, should I say, Voldemort?"
Voldemort's eyes magically changed from yellow to red.
"Well you might have figured out who I am," Voldemort said, using his real voice instead of his fake Jafar one. "But I'll bet you weren't expecting this!"
He suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke, and that smoke started growing and lengthening. When the smoke cleared, everyone saw that Voldemort had turned into a gigantic cobra! Why he didn't pick a basilisk was beyond us all, but we were too grateful to care. Voldemort ended up disappointed, because even though my friends didn't expect this, they still weren't entirely surprised. Honestly, after all that Voldemort's clones had done before, this actually wasn't much. Suddenly, everyone heard screams of fright and some of the Death Eaters and the guard dogs - now in their real wolf devil forms - burst out of a door on the other side of the room! Then, somehow, they started sliding and ended up in a 'just been zapped up' jail cell.
"Good one Harry." Ron W said.
"I didn't do that." Harry replied, confused.
"But I didn't either…." Ron W started.
"Don't look at me." Hermione said.
Harry turned around and saw James and Sirius smirking. He then realized that James and Sirius did it.
"Way to go." He smiled to his father and godfather.
"Thanks." James and Sirius said together.
Voldemort and the other Death Eaters didn't say or do anything, except stare at Lily and James disbelievingly.
"Miranda brought us back." Lily explained, smiling, noticing this.
Voldemort flicked his tongue angrily.
"J-James…L-Lily…my…." A Death Eater with a squeak in his voice said nervously.
"Oh please!" Ron W snapped, looking at the Death Eater with great hatred. "Save the pleading for the dementors Peter Pettigrew!"
At that, Ron W used his wand to zap the Death Eater's mask off. Sure enough, Peter's rat-like unclean face appeared from inside the mask. Everyone else looked at Peter with great hatred too. Sirius and Ron W, even though they weren't in canine form, actually growled at Peter.
"TRAITOR!" Sirius, Ron W, and the Potters cried out angrily.
Peter cowered inside the jail cell.
The Death Eaters then suddenly started calling out, scared, at the same time. No one could understand a single word.
"SILENCE!" Voldemort ordered.
The creepiness of his voice was enough to make the Death Eaters stop shouting. It was also enough to make most of the team shiver too.
"What are you scared of anyway? You're supposed to be keeping an eye on their mutt of a leader!"
"Watch it!" Harry, Ron W, Hermione, and my fellow operatives snapped.
Voldemort ignored them.
"It's a giant non-extinguishable Firebolt!" Peter said, very scared. "We're going down in flames!"
Firebolt?
A wolf devil hit Peter on the head.
"It's fireball you dunce." The wolf devil corrected angrily.
Suddenly, the door that the Death Eaters burst out of earlier burst into flames!
"Yeeeee-ha! Wolf Power!" I cheered, making the door burst up toward the ceiling by leaping onto it.
On closer look, everyone, including our enemies, noticed that I was riding it like a skateboard! Actually, 'surfboard' is a more appropriate analogy, but you get the idea.
"There's your 'fireball' now put her out!" Voldemort ordered.
The Death Eaters obeyed and started sending spells at me. I dodged them all, even jumping up to avoid ones aimed at my legs! I then steered the flaming door at Voldemort and leapt off! Zapping on roller skates and a helmet, I skated down the wall and slid to the floor. I zapped the skates and helmet away, and looked at Voldemort to admire my work. See, while I leapt off I caused the door to land on Voldemort's head, which caught on fire! The Death Eaters managed to douse the flames on Voldemort's head before it could do permanent damage though. Suddenly Voldemort prepared to strike us!
"Broomsticks Wolves!" I ordered.
'Wolves' is our nickname, mostly used for quick orders. I was the one who used it most often, but eventually it would catch on to others as a slang term of friendship.
With a summoning spell, our broomsticks quickly came to us – Harry's was hovering nearby the whole time anyway – and we quickly hopped onto them. Despite having Rip I also own a broomstick, but I rarely use it.
"Everyone else away from here!" I ordered the Superwolf Friends.
The four of us flew away just in time as everyone else ran away from striking range. This caused Voldemort's head to crash into the ground and he ended up still and unconscious.
"So how did you do that 'surf-door' thing anyway?" Ron W asked. "At least your shoes should have burnt a little."
"I had the force shield on the whole time." I grinned before sending one to our friends.
"You little cheat." Hermione said, actually a little amused.
"What? I may be adventurous but I'm not stupid." I retorted grinning. "Hold on…is everyone all right down there?"
"Yeah we're all fine!" Sarah called back. "The Eds have fainted but that's typical for them."
"Hey, I've got an idea." Harry suddenly grinned.
"Do tell." I smiled, teasing in a friendly manner.
Harry didn't tell, but he did bring out his sword and flew towards Voldemort. He then stabbed Voldemort somewhere in the back – you know how snakes have long backs – causing Voldemort to give a hiss of pain! The three of us grinned and joined Harry in stabbing Voldemort in various places. Unfortunately, not all of our friends were 'fine', and it took a while for the others to notice. The first ones who did notice were Penny S and Snap, because the missing friend was Rudy! The rest of the team soon noticed, and all of them started calling his name.
"I'm up here!" Rudy called from above – no, not 'heaven' above.
Everyone looked up, and saw Rudy clinging to Voldemort's tail, which was high in the air!
Velma, by the way, figured out that when Voldemort struck the ground the force caused Rudy to fly through the air. This actually was easy to guess, because there was a piece of the floor that almost looked like a teeter-totter where Rudy used to be. Fortunately Rudy remembered his Magic Chalk and took it out. Unfortunately, before he could use it, Voldemort noticed Rudy and flicked his tail, causing Rudy to drop the chalk! To make matters worse, that was his last piece! Er…well except for the ones that were still in Rip, but Rudy was the only one who could get them. Not only was Rudy the only one who knew where the Magic Chalk pieces were, but also he was the only one who could get past his security system. As Rudy started sliding down Voldemort's tail, everyone else tried to think of a way to save Rudy. Rufus noticed something, which he pointed out to Ron S, who pointed it out to everyone else. That something was a giant door right next to them, and that door opened into the main throne room where Aladdin was! Speaking of Aladdin, Pikachu noticed him and pointed him out to Ash.
"Hey guys!" Ash said. "Look at Aladdin!"
Rip knew how Aladdin's battle with Jafar went thanks to Time Travel Drone checking on it, so he decided to freeze the Aladdin's battle at a particular point so that our battle wouldn't 'run longer'.
Anyway back to Aladdin…he was sliding on a giant ruby! Voldemort too had some jewels about, including, coincidentally, a giant ruby! This gave Penny S an idea: she ran over and started sliding on the ruby just like Aladdin! Snap actually was pretty startled since Penny S is the genius member of the trio, not the action member. It looks like all of those in adventures in Chalk Zone have started to change that, which ended up being a good thing as we found out later. Luckily, Rudy's Magic Chalk hadn't landed on the ground yet because Voldemort's tail was too high up. Because of this fact Penny S managed to catch it! Unfortunately, this resulted in her falling off the ruby!
"Penny, are you all right?" Rudy called down after Penny S stopped tumbling.
"Yes I'm…. Me?" She cried. "What about you?"
Confused, Rudy looked in front of him and saw that Voldemort had his mouth wide open! He was going to eat Rudy!
"You know," Ron W said, shocked and a little disgusted. "If Voldemort hadn't turned into a demon, I'd call him a cannibal."
Harry, Hermione and I, also shocked and disgusted, nodded in agreement.
Penny S fortunately managed to toss the chalk to Rudy just in time…allowing Rudy to make his escape by flight! This in turn resulted in Voldemort biting himself! He hissed in pain and Snap and a few of the others cheered. When Rudy came to a halt, we saw that he drew himself a broomstick!
"Care to join us?" I smiled, zapping Rudy a sword.
The sword was steel and gold with diamonds shaped like chalks on the handle.
"Really?" Rudy was surprised.
"Sure, you're as much of a hero as Harry." I smiled.
Rudy looked surprised to my confusion, but he joined us in stabbing Voldemort. Even though he hates hurting and even killing others he'd still wound a villain if necessary. And it was necessary to weaken Voldemort as much as possible so that Harry could finish him off.
It wasn't long before we noticed that Penny S was in danger: Voldemort was trying to squash her with his tail! Rudy, with the skill of a seeker, saved her and brought her back to the rest of the team! The team and I were actually pretty stunned, except for Penny S. Even though she was impressed she was too grateful to be startled by Rudy's newfound ability. What the rest of us were stunned about was that Rudy seemed to turning into a 'Harry'! I mean he's been brave towards Voldemort, a rarity in a wizard let alone a muggle, can work a wand, and now he can fly a broomstick almost as well as Harry! As we found out later from Boss, even though Rudy and Harry share some hero qualities Rudy wasn't really an 'alternate world Harry', their abilities are just common in those who deal with magic. The flying ability was an exception though, since Rudy has always been a fast learner. He can even drive vehicles in ChalkZone!
Suddenly, Voldemort had managed to break the tail of Rudy's broomstick with his fangs and Rudy started to fall! Harry fortunately managed to fly past and under Rudy so that he could quickly help Rudy's broomstick regain altitude. He put his feet under Rudy's broomstick and pushed it back upright. That might not make sense with muggles, but we are wizards/witches after all. Unfortunately, 'regaining altitude' wasn't the only problem.
"HELP! My broomstick's still out of control!" Rudy cried out!
I know, you think Rudy could have used his Magic Chalk, but actually he couldn't. His broomstick was so out of control that he needed both hands just to hold on!
"Hang on Rudy! I'll put a spell on the walls so that you won't bump into them!" Harry called.
He did, and then flew after Rudy to try to grab him.
"We'll distract Voldemort with our swords so that he won't try to slow you down!" I called to Harry.
"What? You mean like this?"
Voldemort flicked his tail as he said that, and a device that repeatedly squirted purple liquid appeared on the wall to the team's right. Hermione and Ron W frowned at me.
"Now don't pin the blame on me, he would have done that anyway." I said bitterly.
Hermione and Ron W knew this to be true, so we just went back to stabbing Voldemort.
Rudy suddenly flew right through the liquid! Apart from looking grossed out – the liquid obviously did not taste good – he seemed fine, but then suddenly he started shivering and gasping! Taking that as a hint, Harry ducked his head down to protect himself from the liquid and came out the other end fine.
"Bucko, what's wrong?" Snap cried out.
"I-I c-cac'k b-bree." Rudy gasped, turning deathly white.
"Like, what did he say?" Shaggy asked.
"I think he said 'I can't breathe'." Jenny replied.
Harry sniffed the liquid that was coating his body.
"Flowers?" He said, confused.
"Flowers…oh my god…POISON!" I cried.
"WHAT?" Most of the rest of the team cried.
"Rudy! Catch and drink!" Harry ordered, tossing him a corked vial of brown stuff that he grabbed from the magical pocket on his belt.
Fortunately, despite Rudy's weakened state, he managed to catch the vial and drink it. Rudy started breathing again and his normal color came back: his life was saved.
"What was that?" Spongebob asked.
"That was bezoar," Hermione explained. "It saves you from most poisons."
"Except what Rudy drank was Jack's advanced version," I added. "Which saves you from all poisons…SCATTER!"
Hermione, Ron W, and I did, just missing being struck by Voldemort. Luckily, missing us caused Voldemort to slam his head onto the ceiling so we had a few minutes while he recovered from that.
"How did you know that it was poison?" Ron W asked.
"Long ago my parents and Jack and I went to this street fair that had a smelling booth." I explained. "One of the smelling sticks was labeled poison so I smelled it thinking that knowing the smell would come in handy later. I was right."
Voldemort had just recovered so we had to go back to stabbing him.
Harry at this time managed to save Rudy from swinging axes – he used his wand to pause each ax – and a flaming demon – it almost burnt Rudy to death, but Harry zapped up a giant fire extinguisher and used it to turn the demon into a harmless pile of ashes. Voldemort then brought his trademark weapon: snakes! A wooden structure came up right on the wall to the left of our friends bearing cobras, rattlesnakes, and black mambas – an African snake that is one of the most poisonous of them all! They were about to strike Rudy, but then Harry said something in parseltongue that made the snakes let Rudy pass trough unharmed. Voldemort then said something in parseltongue, making a slashing motion across his throat with his tail, but the snakes shook their heads. One rattlesnake, which did not shake its head, was actually brave and foolish enough to try to strike Harry. It missed anyway.
"Bluffing was I?" Harry said as he zapped a gigantic weasel like creature.
The snakes hissed in fright as the creature attacked and began to eat them.
"A giant mongoose, clever." Eliza smiled, then she frowned.
"What's wrong?" Jonny asked.
"I couldn't understand them, yet I can talk to snakes." Eliza explained, confused.
"Parseltongue is obviously different from regular hissing." Darwin nodded. "Personally I'm glad you can't speak it, its pretty creepy."
Everyone else nodded agreeing. Even Danny, who usually isn't prejudice, nodded.
Harry later translated to me that he was threatening to send a giant mongoose if the snakes didn't let them pass through unharmed. Voldemort said that Harry was only bluffing, which of course he wasn't. Voldemort also said that if the snakes didn't attack he was going to kill them.
Suddenly, in place of the poison, many giant snakeheads protruded from the wall and prepared to try to eat Rudy! Harry froze them with a spell and sent his sword spinning to chop off their heads! When the sword was done chopping off the snakeheads it almost looked as if it was going to strike Rudy! But then Harry caught it as if it was nothing – which in a way it was, seeker skills are second nature to Harry. Voldemort then protruded a metal wall from the left wall, revealing…spikes! Rudy was going to be skewered! Harry suddenly zoomed faster, it almost looked as if he was going to be skewered too! The rest of the team and I covered our eyes….
But at the last moment, Harry zoomed Rudy away to safety! Not Rudy's broomstick though, it broke to bits upon the spikes. I was the first one to open my eyes, and after seeing that Harry and Rudy were safe I told everyone it was all right to look. As Harry flew up to us, we noticed that Rudy had covered his eyes and looked a bit pale.
"It's okay Rudy you can open your eyes now." I said gently.
Rudy did, and relaxed.
"You better put him down before he becomes 'height intolerant'." I said to Harry.
Harry flew to the others and, after zapping a small mattress, gently set Rudy down. Rudy fainted onto the mattress.
"You know, I don't blame him for doing that," Harry said, conjuring up a bowl of water and two towels for Penny S and Snap. "Anyone on an out-of-control broomstick would do that." He added before turning around to fly back to us.
"Hey, where's Ron?" Harry asked, noticing that Ron W was gone.
"Down there!" Stitch called to us.
Everyone looked down and saw Ron W zooming towards Voldemort for some reason. Voldemort, by the way, was grumbling about Rudy and Harry's victory over his 'obstacle course', so he never had a chance to defend himself before Ron W stabbed both of his eyes! We all cheered as Ron W bowed after rejoining us.
"Forget bull's eye that was a real snake's eye!" I cheered.
Quite a few members of the team groaned – except Numbuh Two, he laughed.
"Miranda do you even know what a 'snake's eye' is?" Hermione said.
"Of course," I grinned. "Snake's eye is a losing term in gambling with dice, and Voldemort 'lost' his sight didn't he?"
Not wanting to cause any arguments, no one said anything more. Now that Voldemort was blind, I lead the other Superwolves to the right-hand corner near our friends where we wouldn't be overheard. I then zapped up a large sheet of paper with a drawing of a cobra on it.
"Now the best way to kill Voldemort is by his muzzle," Ron W said, pointing at the top half of the muzzle. "Because his size and hood makes it difficult to cut his head off."
"That's probably why he picked a cobra instead of a basilisk…not that I'm ungrateful." I added. "But the best part of the muzzle is the outside, because if you stabbed the roof of the mouth you could get stabbed too – by the fangs that is. Of course Harry will be given the honors…speaking of him where is he?"
The three of us looked around, but we couldn't find Harry until the rest of the team pointed him out to us. Apparently Harry left right after the first part of Ron W's plan – before I had started speaking – and was now preparing to stab Voldemort. But as he zoomed towards Voldemort, I realized with horror where Harry was going to strike.
"HARRY NOT THAT SPOT!" I cried desperately. "REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS?"
It only took Harry a moment to remember. When he did, he looked horrified.
"I forgot." Harry groaned with a facepalm.
Too late, he stabbed Voldemort at the roof of the mouth before he could stop! Suddenly, Voldemort swung his head so that Harry crashed into the wall in front of us, causing the Firebolt to be knocked out of Harry's grip! The Firebolt then tried to fly down to save Harry, but Voldemort pinned it to the opposite wall with his tail! Now the only way to save Harry was for one of us to catch him, but he was so near to the wall that we would crash before we could grab him. Another way would be for one of us to give up our own broomstick and send it after Harry. But since our broomsticks only seat one person each, that would mean sacrificing ourselves, which was pointless: what good would it be to save one Superwolf if it would mean another Superwolf would be dead? Fortunately, Rudy had already woken up a bit earlier….
"Reparo!" He said, aiming his wand at his smashed broomstick.
His broomstick reassembled, and flew up to catch Harry just in time! We all rushed over towards Harry as Rudy's broomstick gently lowered him to the ground. Unfortunately, even though he was dying, Voldemort still had enough strength to cut us off with his body! He used his lower half to cut off our friends' path as he also swung his upper half like a pendulum, which kept the three of us from flying to Harry. Jenny fortunately can stretch her limbs, so she pushed Voldemort's lower-body up with her arms so that the rest of the team could pass under him safely. She then went through and retracted her arms. Now all that was left was to figure out how the three of us were going to get over there. Ron W noticed that there was a split second of safety whenever Voldemort passed us, so he suggested that I quickly fly through at that second, then he and Hermione will take turns doing the same thing.
"Er…no." I said.
"Why not?" Lilo asked.
"Th-this is the first time I ever rode a broomstick." I admitted.
"WHAT?" Ron W, Hermione, and the team cried.
"Well back when I was in Hogwarts everyone thought I was a real dog, so I never really got a chance to learn." I explained.
"Couldn't Boss have taught you?" Samantha asked.
"I was too busy learning other Superwolf tactics."
Ron W thought for a minute.
"Okay, new plan," He said. "One of us will have to go first before Miranda. That way the one who hasn't gone yet can fly after her if she loses control while the one who went first keeps an eye on our friends."
"Good idea," Hermione said. "And since you've had more practice than I have you can be the one to fly after Miranda. I'll go first."
She did and made it through. Now it was my turn, but I ended up misaiming and Voldemort knocked me out of control! Ron W flew after me.
"Okay you," I warned my broomstick. "If you don't stop this you'll end up being a barrel!"
At that, my broomstick started spinning horizontally.
"I didn't mean 'do a barrel roll'!" I cried. "Quit that! Yipe!"
I suddenly was heading for a wall! Bracing myself for impact, I lowered my head, but Ron W suddenly grabbed my broomstick and saved me.
"Miranda?" He said nervously, suddenly not seeing me on my broomstick.
"Down here." I replied.
The jerk Ron W caused when he grabbed my broomstick resulted in my ending up upside down.
He tied my broomstick to his and, even though my broomstick was still spinning, we managed to fly towards the rest of the team safely.
In the meantime, Hermione took the fang out of Harry's shoulder and sent it flying into Voldemort's mouth. Suddenly the floor opened up and Voldemort fell through the hole! A fiery trail then went over to the Death Eaters and the wolf devils. The Death Eaters clamored to the top of the cage but the wolf devils stayed put and let the trail make them disappear. Hell had just picked them up. The Death Eaters then disapparated.
When Ron W and I reached Harry, I got an idea and whistled. Beautiful, haunting music started playing, and Fawkes flew over to us. He put his head close to Harry's shoulder and cried. The tears healed Harry's wound and Harry sat up as if nothing happened! Despite the part of story that was about our second year at Hogwarts, quite a few of the others were actually startled at Fawkes's power.
Sheen, looking at Harry, then suddenly remembered something.
"Harry," Sheen said. "Can you explain what's with that glove you're wearing?"
You can bet that James and Lily were startled to find out about this, they never noticed the glove back when they were first brought back to life. They also didn't notice back when Harry removed his collar in the last Adventure. In both cases their minds were on other subjects.
Harry sighed, and took his glove off. Everyone gave a yell of shock, because on Harry's hands were the words 'I will not tell lies' shining like an unhealed burn! Harry explained that the ministry sent Hogwarts a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher back in our fifth year instead of letting Dumbledore hire one. The ministry didn't believe Harry about Voldemort coming back – as Hermione explained in The Lion King Adventure – so of course the teacher didn't as well. When Harry refused to agree with the ministry and continued the story about Voldemort's revival, the teacher sent Harry to detention: writing sentences with a quill that used his own blood and with every sentence the words would cut into his skin! Because Harry never gave in – he wasn't telling a lie after all – he went through many detentions, and he now has a scar of the words. The Superwolf Friends were horrified.
"Who is this teacher?" Lily and James cried angrily.
"Her name is Umbridge." Ron W explained.
James and Lily, like Sirius, had only heard of her in reputation. They didn't like her then, and now they were beyond despising her.
"Who?" I said, pretending not to understand.
The team was really confused.
"Professor Dolores..." Hermione began.
"OH, her." I said, grinning. "Sorry I always keep thinking her last name is 'Dumb-bridge'!"
Most of the team groaned, but a few actually laughed. The laughter was suddenly cut short when the throne room started rumbling and cracking!
Now that Voldemort was dead his throne room didn't have a purpose, so it was 'dying' too! Luckily, Fawkes made it through Harry's compartment safely as we quickly headed for the door towards Aladdin's battle with Jafar. One large rock almost got us, but fortunately Stitch used his whole body to knock it away without getting harmed.
