Chapter 14 (The Great Trial)
A family of five sat nervously behind a desk that was positioned in the middle of a courtroom of sorts. They were the Wizards of Waverly Place, they looked up to see a fierce wizard glaring down at them. It was the Red Pigment Wizard, Henry. Two wizards stood in front of him, they were the Green Light wizards, Abby and Marti. Abby looked down at Marti and sighed.
"Okay Marti, call them," Abby said quietly. Marti nodded and lifted her hands into the air, they glowed a bright green color.
"Come forth!" Marti exclaimed, a bright green flash appeared and six people appeared in the room. The current Yellow Pigment, Miley and her father Robbie Ray stood at the left side. Next to them was the Blue Pigment wizard, commonly known as Mr. O., he never gave a name out to people. On the right side appeared Grandpa Shay and Carly, the Blue Light Wizards. Next to them stood Amy, the second wife of the Red Light wizard.
"Welcome, we're here to discuss the awakening of the demons." The next person to speak was the booming voice of the Red Pigment wizard, Henry.
"The Wizards of Waverly Place, lead wizard come forth!" Henry said with a stern tone. Jerry Russo winced and stepped forward. "You are in charge of these, are you not?"
"Yes, Justin Russo, Alex Russo and Max Russo are my children," Jerry said with a nod.
"Then you realize what they have done, do you?" Jerry nodded his head slowly and Abby spoke up.
"We trained your children! The Wizards of Light trained them and what happens, this happens!" Abby shouted.
"Silence!" Abby looked to the ground. Henry had always been a domineering figure, he was naturally in charge since Dale wasn't here at all.
"I am sorry."
"The outburst is excused." Henry sighed and crossed his arms over, Justin, Alex and Max all looked up at him with their bodies trembling. "You have awakened the demons that your own teachers have worked hard to seal in the lake. Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Blaze, Count Dracula, and Countess Emma have all awakened from their slumber."
"We're sorry," Jerry said quietly. "I am sure my children meant no harm by this."
"My brother is dead!" Carly shouted.
"So is mine," Miley stated. "Our best friends are also at the camp that those beasts are at!"
"My brother and stepsister's life could be in danger!" Marti said quickly.
"Can you do it?" Miley asked with narrow eyes. "Can you bring my brother back from the dead?"
"No, I'm afraid not," Jerry said in a quiet voice.
"My precious child could," Amy said with a shaky voice. "My child's life is in danger!"
"Again I can say nothing more than to being apologizing profusely." Henry frowned and looked to Amy.
"You are not alone in that fear," Henry stated. "For there are others with children there." Henry looked at the wizard family and his face tightened. "Please, explain what you were doing."
"Yes, explain," Mr. O. stated with narrow eyes and a clenched fist. "Explain your reasoning for awakening these demonic bastards."
"I had no intention of waking them," Jerry said quietly. "I was merely giving my children a history lesson and teaching them about the wizards and monsters that were sealed. I had left the room to do something and when I returned, my children informed me that they had awakened the demons."
"It sounds as though you have no sense of responsibility when it comes to your children," Grandpa Shay said quietly.
"No, it's not like that!" Alex Russo exclaimed. Jerry turned to her and put his finger on his lip.
"Let me do the talking," Jerry said. It had been his plan to do the talking, so that the children wouldn't get the major punishment. He looked up to Henry and took a slight step back. Henry was rubbing his chin and looking down at him with narrow eyes. It was obvious he was thinking of some form of punishment. "Sir, if it's any consolation, I believe they just wanted to see what the faces of the monsters looked like."
"Was that really necessary?" Mr. O. asked. "You don't need magic to look at what those things look like." The others all nodded and started talking amongst themselves.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, doesn't one of the Russo wizards use their magic haphazardly?" Abby asked with a raised eyebrow. Justin Russo looked over at Alex Russo with narrow eyes.
"Alex Russo, come forward," Henry stated.
"But-"
"Now!"
"Yes sir," Alex said as she stepped forward.
"Are you the one that does not know how to control your magic?"
"Oh I know how to control it!" Henry raised his eyebrow and clasped his hands together in front of his face.
"It would have been better for you to say you did not know how to control your magic…Are you not the one that uses your magic constantly? You also use it as a problem solving method…"
"Well…yeah, I guess." Abby lifted her hand and it glowed a bright green.
"Chart," Abby said quietly. A large status chart appeared in front of Alex, she walked over to the chart and glanced at it. "It says here that you use your magic more than sixty times per day. You've done things from making a wart on your brother's forehead talk all the way to using magic on your best friend. You've also used a spell to turn back time, this was well over thirty times on the same night."
"I was helping my brother get his first kiss!"
"You had to use magic to do that?" Miley asked with a raised eyebrow.
"My brother didn't need magic to get his first kiss," Marti stated.
"Neither did mine," Carly said with narrow eyes.
"Oh come on, you can't all say you didn't use magic to get your first kiss," Alex said quickly.
"Actually, you don't need magic to do that," Mr. O. said while crossing his arms.
"Okay fine…"
"Why did you use magic on your best friend?" Amy asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Well…I wanted her to work with me and so I made her really good. But then we had a fight and our friendship was in trouble, so I used magic to make her turn to normal."
"You also caused a mess at the restaurant when doing that," Max said with a chuckle.
"Max, be quiet," Justin said under his breath.
"When you were taught by the Wizards of Light, did you forget what you were taught?" Mr. Stewart asked. Being a spouse of one of the wizards, he knew full well what happened with wizards.
"Yes, they taught me not to use magic as a solution to every day problems," Alex said with a sigh.
"And you blatantly ignored this?" Abby asked with narrow eyes.
"Well, I didn't see what the big deal was."
"Overdoing the magic can cause several problems," Henry said with narrow eyes. "You can use it, but if you use it too much, the flow of magic in your body will cease to flow. Plus, you can drain your strength by using it too often."
"I could drain my strength?"
"You've seen anorexic people, right?" Abby asked while crossing her arms. "That's what you'll look like, that's the effect of using magic constantly. You need to give your body time to heal, sixty to seventy times per day is too much.
"Okay…"
"Plus if you depend on the use of magic for every day problems, you will pretty much lose your logic. You can't grow smarter just by using magic to do anything."
"Sure I can!"
"Okay, let's see here…you used an elf thing to ace your Spanish test for you. Do you now know Spanish?"
"Hola!" Abby narrowed her eyes and sighed.
"I will ask you again, ¿sabe usted hablar español? ¿Si es así usted entiende lo que le estoy preguntando?"
"What?"
"She said, 'can you speak Spanish,'" Justin said quickly. "Also, she said 'if so, can understand what I am asking you?'"
"Thank you, Justin!"
"Love the sarcasm, sis."
"Please go back to your seat," Henry said as he waved his hand through the air. "Who's idea was it to use magic in order to see the faces?"
"Actually it was mine," Max said as he stepped forward. "I'm the one that said I wanted to see their faces. Alex then used magic to show them."
"Then it really was Alex Russo's idea."
"But I was the one that suggested it first. I can't really use much of my magic, but she knows how."
"She didn't seem to know!" Abby exclaimed.
"Actually, I was the one that sneezed and because of that, we messed up the spell. That was how the monsters awakened." Max looked over as Justin stepped next to him.
"I would like to take some blame as well," Justin said quickly. "I'm usually not one to go along with my sister's schemes, but I did in this case."
"It seems everything is coming back to Alex Russo," Mr. O. stated.
"Gee, ya think?" Alex said under her breath with a low sigh. "I can't believe this is happening."
"Russo family step forward!" Henry said as he stood up. All the family members stepped forward and every wizard in the room stared at them. "Alex Russo, by doing this spell, you have but six children in grave danger. We are unable to help these children at the time, do you realize the gravity of this situation?"
"Fine, I'll never use magic again if that would please you!" Jerry's eyes widened and he nudged Alex fiercely. That was never a good thing to say to someone like Henry, he would do it.
"I see you are accepting of that idea."
"W-What? I didn't mean it like that."
"Alex Russo, because you cannot seem to do normal day to day things without the use of magic, and you could have just gone online to find out what those monsters looked like, you will lose your powers."
"Wait! Hear me out first!"
"We have already done this."
"Hold on," Justin said as he stepped forward. "Take my powers instead."
"Justin, what are you doing?" Alex asked with wide eyes.
"Saving your skin."
"Justin!"
"Justin Russo, you would take your sister's punishment?" Henry asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, without question." Henry looked at all the other wizards who nodded their head, the jury had spoken.
"Then Justin Russo, you will lose your powers." The wizards all lifted their hand in the air and Justin's powers were removed from his body.
"Justin, you didn't have to do that," Alex said with a small tear. "I promise, I won't use my powers as much."
"That is correct." Alex raised her eyebrow and looked over at Henry. "I am saddened to say that each of you must pay a certain penalty for what has occurred. Alex Russo, you will have your powers sealed for a certain amount of time. You must learn to solve your problems without magic for the next eight months."
"Eight months!"
"Yes, but don't press your luck." The Wizards of Light raised their hands and a white aura surrounded Alex and went into her.
"Will I have to pay a penalty?" Max asked. Henry nodded slowly and rubbed his chin.
"Max Russo, your powers will be sealed for four months." Max sighed and nodded his head with understanding. "Jerry Russo, since you had no part in this, you will keep your powers, but should something like this happen again, or Alex uses her powers without a sense of control, both of you will lose your powers."
"I understand," Jerry said quietly. "But why can you not help those at the camp right now?"
"The older generation of wizards cannot get into there," Abby said quietly. "It is the effect of Dracula, once awakened, he placed a seal so that wizards above the age of twenty cannot get in, that is called the seal of evil. It pretty much seals anything good from entering so that they can rampage freely, I believe it's an after effect from the sealing that the Wizards of Light put on them. Fortunately, Dale's spirit is still inside the campgrounds, making it easier to protect them."
"Thought it might be the effect of my wife...I think it's best to train the young wizards," Mr. O. stated with a calm voice. "Training them so they can go in there and help the others, could that work?"
"We will discuss that," Henry said as he crossed his arms. "Right now, Wizards of Waverly Place, you are free to leave, the trial has ended." The Russo's nodded and then vanished in a cloud of smoke.
Well, that was an interesting chapter. I hope you liked it. My cousins are coming over this weekend, they're great fun, so don't be upset if I don't manage to pull in an update this weekend, I will try!
