Anne saw Maleficent, but she had disappeared, Anne ran outside the castle, standing in front of the main entrance of it. Then, Maleficent appeared in front of her, smiling at her. Anne brought up her sword and walked closer to her.
"Oh so you really want to go this far now Anne? You want to fight me?"
"It's not Anne anymore, it's Sapphire and I'm not afraid of you Maleficent. Not anymore, now bring it on Morgan."
Maleficent started to laugh, "fine, you asked for it you stupid girl. Now you'll deal with the real me and face all the forces of hell!" A big explosion happened as she laugh manically, the smoke raising into the skies, a huge figure forming in them.
Sapphire's mouth dropped as soon as she saw what she had turned into. Maleficent was now a eighty foot tall black and purple dragon. A real dragon, Sapphire couldn't believe it, she has to take on a dragon.
"Oh, oh no." Sapphire said as she looked up at the enormous monster.
Daniel and Kicko appeared at the side of the castle, riding a horse. Just seeing Daniel, Sapphire got the courage to take her on. Sapphire took a deep breath and charged towards Maleficent only to be pushed back by a strong fire, luckily she shielded herself. She charged again, but when Maleficent breath fire, she fell back. Sapphire was laying on the ground when Maleficent lowered her head next to her, Sapphire slid her sword across her long snout that made Maleficent roar and snap at her. Sapphire quickly got up and tried to get away from her.
Daniel and Kicko watched in fear. They couldn't do anything else, but just watch. Daniel felt his heart racing, he was shaking. He has never been this scared before in his entire life. "You can do it princess, I know you can." He said softly.
Sapphire ran towards the castle doors while Maleficent was not far behind, she looked to the sides of her and found something she would be able to climb. She saw this wall and started to climb it, reaching a balcony. Her cheer moves do come in handy sometimes. Maleficent didn't have any trouble climbing it, all she had to do was jump. Maleficent charged at her, breathing fire and snapping at her. Sapphire fighting her with her sword, she turned around and climbed another wall, getting higher up the castle, Maleficent following. She reached a small tower and landing on it, Maleficent circling the tower. Maleficent's fire breath was getting stronger and stronger and Sapphire felt like she wouldn't be able to shield them away. Maleficent's tail had hit Sapphire from the back, which caused her to fall over.
Daniel saw that she was hurt and started to panic, "I have to help! I got to help her!" He jumped off the horse and tried to find a way up there, but Kicko stopped him.
"No, no Daniel, the prophecy says she must be the only one that kills her."
"She needs help!"
"She must do it Daniel, it's the only way!" Kicko held onto him.
Daniel looked up the Sapphire, who was still on the floor, he heard Maleficent roar and spread her wings high up.
Sapphire looked up at the giant dragon, panting and feeling herself get weak, but she still managed to get up. She grabbed her shield and sword, but the moment she got up, Maleficent breath more fire, so strong that it pushed Sapphire back almost causing her to fall over, she didn't but her shield did.
"NOOOO!" She screamed out as she saw her shield fall to the ground.
She gasped as Maleficent grabbed onto her with her giant claws, clenching her. Sapphire tugged and tried to push her way out, but her grip was too strong. Maleficent raised her high up over her head, and then she threw her up.
Daniel freaked and ran over to the castle, hoping to find a way to help. Sapphire screamed when she was thrown up because she knew just what Maleficent was going to do, and it was not going to be pretty, it was going to be something her adoptive mother would never ever do, but she felt her inner cheer coming in. She flipped in the air, positioning herself and her sword right, and was ready to do what she was destined for.
"Hey Morgan! Heads up!" She came down right at the start of the neck and brought the sword down, slicing her neck. The sword was strong enough to cut her entire head off. Maleficent screamed out with pain until it was dead silence and all you heard was the loud thud of her head hitting the ground. The an even louder thud when her giant dragon body hit the ground. Once it hit the ground, the head and the body had disappeared. Sapphire had landed on the tower's balcony, but she felt pain in her leg because she had put all her weight on it when she fell. She managed a way to go down the castle without having to climb the walls down. The moment she got down to the main entrance, she saw Daniel, he smiled at her and she smiled back and then she ran into his arms. He grabbed onto her, giving her the tightest hug he had ever given. Kicko later joined them and they all hugged together. They were finally free, free from the clutches of Maleficent. They can finally live in peace. Most importantly, Sapphire has finally found the place she belongs, she was home.
