Author's Note: Hey Guys, I've been MIA for a while now, but that was because I was writing new chapters which are gonna be posted this week, and those chapter are gonna be another 3 parter, maybe 4, still working on the titles. And since today is the second anniversary since I've posted my first chapter on , I thought I surprise you with this. Basically, you're gonna see Baron Mordo and CJ trying to conquer Auradon starting with recruiting his army, or at least trying. He even has his eyes set out on a certain lovable flame head. Even more surprising news is that this week, you'll finally know everything about Eliza and what she did to Ben and the other AKs and how she's the reason for Trevor to switch schools. For now, here's Part 1.
Chapter 37:The Conquest for Auradon Part 1
Corona Towers, Suite Room
It was the middle of the night and everyone was sleeping. The boys in one room, the girls in the other and Lumiere and Cogsworth have their own room to sleep in. Snoring can be heard from everywhere in the rooms, Dude's might be the loudest since he's bigger than everyone, Herkie's close second. Quincy was continuing snoring on the bed along with Chad when suddenly, a voice was heard that only he can hear.
"Quincy!" The voice said.
Quincy's closed eyes began to move, and grunts softly.
"Quincy!" The voice said again.
But Quincy wouldn't get up.
"Quincy!" It said once more.
This time, Quincy's eyes did open, but they glow green and he sat up on the bed and get off to walk towards the door and opens it very softly then closes it without waking anyone up. It was like he's sleep walking, in a trance-like state, though who Quincy was walking towards to on the patio is the reason why.
"Hello, Quincy, or do you go by Inferno?" Baron Mordo said.
"Whatever you wish to call me, Master." Quincy said robot-like.
"I like the sound of that." Mordo said.
"I'm at your service, Master." Quincy said.
"Good, because I'm in need of you for tomorrow, for something greater than yourself, something of power, that you can provide for me." Mordo said.
"Great power?" Quincy said.
"Yes, you have this "burning" desire that will indeed come in handy for my conquest." Mordo said.
Back in the boys' room, Chad started to move in the bed and noticed that Quincy isn't in bed with him. He looks around and sees everyone else on futons, and Dude sleeping on the floor, but no Quincy. Then he hears talking outside the door, so he got up and investigates. When he stepped out, Eliza also comes out the door.
"What're you doing out here?" Chad said.
"Same as you are, I'm assuming?" Eliza said.
"You hear people talking too?" Chad said.
"It's coming from the patio, outside." Eliza said.
They both walk closer to the patio and sticking their heads out through the doors, they see Quincy in front of Mordo, who's hand was in front of Quincy's face while glowing.
"What's he doing here?!" Chad whispered.
"Looks like he's mind controlling him." Eliza said.
"Not on my watch." Chad said before stepping out.
"Chad, wait!" Eliza whispered.
"Hey!" Chad yelled when he stepped outside. "Let him go!"
"But were just having a conversation." Mordo said.
"Don't make me ask twice." Chad warned him.
"It's so cute you think you can stop me." Mordo said.
"Let's rest that theory." Chad said.
He super speeds to Mordo and delivers a fast punch to his jaw, knocking him off the patio, but stops midair while glowing green and flies myself back up to see Chad and Quincy.
"Did you think it was that easy to knock out the master of the dark arts?" Mordo said.
Mordo zaps him with an magic energy blast and hits Chad, knocking him backwards and hits the plant behind him and lands on his stomach, groaning.
"Now, I think I shall take my new recruit." Mordo said.
He waves his hand at Quincy and suddenly, Quincy was glowing green and levitates off the patio.
"No!" Chad said struggling to get up. "Quincy!"
"He's mine now, there's nothing you can do." Mordo said.
He's pulling Quincy towards him midair, when suddenly Mordo gets a headache, then it became powerful, making him lose concentration.
"Yaaahhhh!" Mordo screamed. "What sorcery is this?! My head's killing me!" He keeps on holding his head as it continues to hurt real bad.
"You think it's one on one, but it's really two against one. Guess which side is winning?" Eliza said Mordo's mind.
Eliza steps out of her hiding place, who has her fingers pressed to her head and in front of Chad, who finally got up.
"This is our place and you're invading our privacy!" Eliza continues to talking in his head.
"Aaahhhhh!" Mordo screams.
All this pain he's feeling has finally made him lose control over Quincy. Unfortunately, Quincy was hovering away from the patio, which meant that Quincy was going to fall and in a second, that's what happened.
"Nooo!" Chad shouts.
He sped off the edge and grabs Quincy in his arms before falling along with him. The pain was too much for Mordo as he disappears in thin air. With that done, Emma runs to the edge to see Chad and Quincy was still falling, with Quincy still unconscious. With quick thinking, Emma tries to wake up Quincy in his mind.
"Quincy, listen to me! You and Chad are about to be flat as pancakes unless you wake up!" Emma said.
They are almost halfway down and Quincy was still wouldn't wake up. Chad thinks of an idea and straighten his arm downwards and spins it so fast that it creates a cyclone. It made their fall slow down, but not enough to stop falling.
"Quincy, please! Chad can't stop this by himself! You have to wake up!" Eliza said.
Chad keeps it up as fast as he can, but with only one arm available, it was almost impossible to stop them from hitting the ground.
"Quincy! Wake up!" Chad yells.
"Wake Up!" They both shouted.
This time, Quincy finally opened his eyes, confused at what's happening, then looks under him.
"Aaahhh!" Quincy screams.
"You gotta fly us up!" Chad said.
"Ok!" Quincy said.
Quincy turns his body so that his feet was under him and uses his powers to make the fire shoot from his feet while Chad was uses his cyclone. It was working as they slowed down even more.
"Gotta give this more gas!" Quincy said strained.
He uses his feet to create more flames coming out and just when they almost his the ground, they immediately stopped and flew right back up. They flew higher and nearly miss Eliza, so with Chad's help, he holds Quincy when they got close to the building and super speeds on the wall then when he got close, he made a U-turn and jumps onto the patio. They both panted as soon as they landed to safety.
"Are you ok?" Eliza said as she ran to them.
"I think so." Chad said.
Just then, Herkie, Ally, Jane and everyone else came rushing out of their rooms and sees what's happening outside.
"Hey, we heard screaming, what's going on?" Jay asked.
"I don't even know where to begin." Quincy said.
Auradon Convention Center
This is it, today's the day. The final day of Marvel Con, which means the costume contest is underway. Everyone who's anyone has participated by signing up and doing checkups to make sure their costumes are on point. Even Stan Lee was excited as he sees participants taking selfies, doing group poses and just having fun with themselves. He'a set on making an appearance during the event and he's even one of the judges on the contest. Everything was going perfect today, except worry washes over a group of super powered teens when they arrived at the Convention Center.
The gang was at the café with Lumière and Cogsworth finding seats for the costume contest. Dude is just sitting right beside everyone as they discuss last nights events.
"I can't believe he was in our suite!" Audrey said.
"What was he even doing there?" Trevor said.
"Sneak Attack?" Jordan suggested,
"No, he was trying to control Quincy." Chad said.
"What? But why?" Evie said.
"He said something…about me with great power, serving him….it was all confusing. I didn't even remember getting up that night." Quincy said.
"It's a good thing I was there, or else Mordo would've taken you away." Eliza said.
"But you did you let him fall." Audrey accused.
"Audrey, I'm a telepath, not telekinetic. I can't move thing with my mind, but I did manage to wake him up so that he can fly him and Chad back up," Eliza said.
"Sure." Audrey said.
"Audrey, come up." Jay said. "I'm sure she could've done more if she could."
"I think she's done enough." Audrey said.
"Do you have something to say to me, Audrey?" Eliza said to Audrey face to face.
"I've got a lot of somethings to say to you ever since a long time ago!" Audrey said.
"Alright, that's enough!" Mal said separating the bickering girls. "There's a fictional comic book villain running loose causing mayhem, and fighting each other is not solving anything, so squash you're beef right now because danger's coming and it's real soon!"
Audrey scoffs then says, "Fine." She immediately walks offs.
"Where you going?" Mal said.
"I need some air." Audrey said as she keeps on walking out the café.
Jay sighs, "I'll talk to her."
Then he goes after her, trying to find out what's wrong.
Audrey was frustrated and upset at the icy blue hair person she once called friend. About another minute of walking, Audrey decided to sit down at the nearest bench. Memories pop up as she remembers hanging with her and the girls before The VKs most of the time like school, shopping, you name it. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice Jay was behind her. He touched her shoulder and spooked her.
"Room for one more?" Jay said with a side grin.
"Don't you wanna be with your new girlfriend?" Audrey said bitterly.
"There's a problem with that." Jay said as he went to sit next to Audrey. "She's not my girlfriend, so there's nothing for you to be jealous about."
"I'm not jealous!" Audrey said. "I just can't stand her."
"Because of whatever happened years ago?" Jay said.
"She betrayed me, she was someone I used to trust, but all that's gone since junior high." Audrey said.
"Wanna talk about it?" Jay said.
"Thinking about it was just too painful." Audrey said.
"I had no idea how much it hurt you." Jay said.
"Well, it does." Audrey started to tear up. "And it hurt so much that I missed 3 weeks of school."
"Woah." Jay said. "Audrey, I'm so sorry. I'm sure Eliza realized how wrong she was and is looking to make amends."
"It's too late for that and she should've realized that!" Audrey said.
"Ok, ok, let's just sit and admire the ones who're enjoying themselves." Jay points out to everyone in costume.
"I like the sound of that." Audrey said.
"Yeah." Jay said then puts his arm behind Audrey.
They sit for a few seconds and see all the people walking around, talking, eating, without a care in the world.
"You know, you costume is the best out of everyone here." Jay said.
"Really?" Audrey said.
"I'm not kidding, you look beautiful." Jay said.
"Wow." Audrey said smiling. "You don't look bad yourself, even if you look furry." She giggles.
"I like having hair, as you seen when first met." Jay said.
"You mean when you were being a big flirt?" Audrey giggles.
"Only for the ones that are worth it." Jay winked.
They both ended up laughing.
Author's Note: That was so sweet, wasn't it? But I wonder what happened with Eliza back in the day. Will her past come to light soon, find out tomorrow on Chapter 38 and Have a Wicked Day!
