Newest secrets will be revealed as well between the Destructix and newest, mysterious foes that will recruit three of the massive amount of villains of Mobius. Jenny better brace herself, because newest threats will strike the once harmonious world of Mobius!
Unknown location of Mobius...
Predator Hawk POV
It's been weeks since I left Jenny, and now the Destructix and I (except Lightning) were working for Finitevus, who had an allegiance to someone we were meeting today. Me and the team walked down the dark hallway that led to a throne room not too similar to the Iron Fortress. This palace had spikes, black roses in flower pots, huge torches that had blue fire... and of course, this was the homeplace of a group of dangerous ninjas I knew from Finitevus as the Avenger Clan. He said that with only the touch of their hands over your head could cause horrifying hallucinations. I wasn't scared of that, though. I never feared these ninjas with axes and poisonous arrows as weapons. I never feared to meet whoever their leader was... which was what we were going to do.
In front of us stood Finitevus, who stopped before us at the doors that led to the throne room. He held his hands to the doors and pushed them open, revealing the vast space of the throne room. And at the end of the room were two Overlanders.
Finitevus walked forward while we stood behind. I saw the looks in the faces of my teammates. They were pretty frightened, except for Scourge who had one of his evil smirks, and of course, Flying, who didn't cared too much. Psychos never seem to pay attention to fear, I guess.
What scared them was the ruler of the Avenger Clan. First thing, it was a woman. Second, she was reaching maybe her early fifties. And third, she looked worst than the Iron Queen. And there was also this man who seemed to reach his early thirties. He seemed to be her son, because they were really alike.
Right after meeting each others' faces was when the woman spoke, breaking the silence...
"So you've done it on time, Dr. Finitevus." She said, her voice was deadly calm. "I appreciate your visit. Welcome to the Dark Palace, home to the Dark Force Armada and my Avenger Clan!"
Now her voice was freaky... she sounded like a Halloween witch.
"I appreciate your summons, my dear Gothic Queen." Said Finitevus as he bowed before her. "Me and my fellow minions accept your request to subdue the Freedom Fighters. And with the girl gone, nothing will stand on our way!"
"I love your attitude." The Gothic Queen purred. "Very well, Dr. Finitevus, my dark ninjas and I have a special position for you as Technomage. There is also this other queen from a distant land who shall be your partner in the Dark Force Armada. Alongside my son, Prince Deathblade Dark, of course."
"Thanks, your darkest highness." Deathade said pridefully.
"And who this 'queen from a distant land' might be?" Finitvus asked with a big smirk.
"We still have not gathered enough information about her recent location, but indeed she has technomagic powers, which are greatly useful to upgrade our Dark Palace with the most advanced technology this world has."
"The Dark Force Armada is still researching for the woman." Continued Deathblade. "We believe this queen is the last tool to overthrow our enemies... And my dearest dark highness believes that the child is still alive."
"Hold it there!" That had been Scourge. "That weirdo kid had been out of our reach. She couldn't be alive and kicking."
"Her power signal tellis it all, boy." Said the Gothic Queen. "That tempting power of hers is vaguely immense, but the way she's using it... That child just does not know the significance of Rainbow Power itself."
"Thanks to your fellow member Predator Hawk, we've been able to detect the girl's Rainbow Power, and we also had information about it. But a malfunction interrupted the power signal and her power was out of reach." Explained Deathblade Dark.
"That must've been her Neon Power." I whispered.
Prince Deathblade Dark stared at the villains with a smirk. He and the Gothic Queen were pleased to have new allies who knew about Jenny and they would get them working for the Dark Force Armada and the Queen's Avenger Clan. The Gothic Queen let out an evil chuckle and continued.
"And once we retrieve the power surge, the child shall be detected and captured immediately. My ninjas have a formidable power that could make her live a whole nightmare for the rest of her puny life." Ended Gothic Queen with a wicked smile.
She gave the order to the allied villains to leave, with the Avenger forces giving the directions to their newest positions as members of the Dark Force. Scourge and Fiona became spies who always had to report to the Gothic Queen or Deathblade whenever she leaves him to command the Avenger Clan for her. Flying and Simian were soldiers in the Dark Force Armada, and Predator was the eye of the Dark Palace. If he sees something that does not belong to the Dark Force, like an intruder, he'd immediately send him or her to the Queen and the Queen could either have him or her as a permanent slave or be executed by Deathblade himself.
Anyways, as they exited the throne room, the Gothic Queen held out a black rose she called the Lacrymosa, or the Flower of Darkness as she also called it, and gently rubbed its petals.
Prince Deathblade Dark came closer to her and bowed with respect.
"What if they're trying to trick us, Mother? What if the child is really dead and all of this summons plan was a trap so they could rise to our greatest power?" Deathblade asked, his bloody red eyes glowing.
"Dark wizards like me are never tricked, my boy." Gothic Queen purred. "The child is alive... even if her Rainbow Power is out of reach. My Avenger ninjas must find a way to capture her. Meanwhile, prepare the Dark Force in case if the child's power rises again, then we can proceed with eliminating her... with the help of a foe who knows her... The Iron Queen."
"Yes, my darkest highness."
And just like that, Prince Deathblade Dark left the throne room, leaving the Gothic Queen to her thoughts...
The Gothic Queen was not convinced that the child was dead. And since it was clear that Finitevus and the Destructix knew about Jenny almost captured by Eggman and then disappearing, the fact that she never showed up to attack led them to believe that she died in the hands of the tyrant. But they were proved wrong, as the Gothic Queen knew from her Avenger ninjas about her last use of Rainbow Power, and then about the other power surge that interrupted the signal. They never knew it was Jenny's Neon Power.
The memories of it all led to anger in the Gothic Queen. She wanted to conquer Mobius just like the Iron Queen tried, but failed... All because of the girl's magical abilities.
The Queen punched the armrests of her throne with fury... More and more memories came to her dark mind. She was the one who possessed Andie Sammerson, the red KindHearted Fairy, Starfire. She recruited her into the Dark Force with the assignment to eliminate every living Fairy in Solandia and bring the demi-goddess before her. But Andie broke the rules of the Avenger Clan altogether and she was later sent to exile... all because she once felt pity for the Fairies, but then her feelings of pity and compassion were replaced for anger, jealousy and revenge. The small amount of positivity led Jenny to save Andie, becoming Starfire in the process, much to the Gothic Queen's horror.
She hated the life of Fairies and even tried to curse them, but their light was powerful and unstoppable.
The Gothic Queen was once part of the Kingdom of Kindland. she was the expert Healer and High Priestess of Kindland, ruling various Priests who follow the rules and traditions of the Sun Gods.
Her former name was Sileanne. She was an elegant lady who always wore a red fancy dress and high-heeled shoes, and always carried a red rose in hand. She had light skin, auburn hair and brown eyes. Her beauty was so dazzling that a hundred men could share their fortune with her. She was believed to be the Fairy of Passion, but the myth was blown by Gardenia Fey. Sileanne never had a love interest since she was a High Priestess. She never fell in love and never broke the rules of the Sun Gods or her Queen...
When she turned 21 she was kidnapped by two men with great money in Solandia. Thieves. Because they were dazzled by her beauty, they abused her. Then they set her free when she felt weak enough like to return to the Castle of Kindland. She never received help from any Fairy. This caused her to blame the Fairies and quit her station as Healer and High Priestess, which were replaced by Queen Gardenia Fey herself.
One day she investigated in the Library of Spells, and was caught by a Fairy servant when she was looking through a forbidden dark spell book that was never used in Kindland. She was brought before Gardenia Fey. She had her arrested for ten years in the Solandia Prison and later exiled from the island by King Robert and Queen Julia in the hopes to save their island from chaos once again and keep their peace.
However, Sileanne knew about almost all the spells from the dark magic book, and spent almost 26 years training her dark powers. When her son turned 27, her spell training was complete. Her once beautiful body suffered a horrifying transformation. Her skin became pale and old, like a vampire. Her auburn hair became elderly white and her eyes became deadly red. Her dress became inky black with a crimson cape made of bird feathers, a black rose in a necklace, black gloves with spiky bracelets, and black high-heeled shoes. She gathered thieves, assassins, rufians and other criminals in order to form the Dark Force Armada and the Avenger Clan. It consisted of dark ninjas who were armed with axes and arrows that had lethal poison made by Sileanne herself. These dark ninjas were granted with the darkest spell of creating visions of nightmares and horrifying hallucinations in the minds of children or innocent people like Andie.
The Dark Force Armada was similar to the Avenger Clan. They were soldiers who carried an axe and sword as weapons, and they use fire cannons and arrows to attack and burn their enemies to death.
Their ruler was the Sileanne's only son, Prince Deathblade Dark. His former name was Augustus. He looked almost like his mother. Light skin, auburn hair, brown eyes. When Sileanne recruited more than a hundred soldiers and ninjas, she created the Dark Palace and also transformed her only son. Like her, his skin became pale, but his hair became longer and went blonde. His eyes became fiery red and he gained more muscle as Deathblade Dark. He now wears a black prince outfit that has a red cape and at the neck it has the same black rose Sileanne has. He had the power to temporarily interrupt anyone's abilities or powers in order to defeat them or kill them if he has the chance. He is the only heir of the throne of the Dark Force, and he'll soon rule the Avenger Clan for his mother.
The thoughts ended when the Gothic Queen heard one of her Avenger ninjas coming in. The dark ninja bowed with respect and reported.
"The recruited Mobians have prepared their positions."
"Magnificent!" The Queen said smiling evilly. "Send out the soldiers of the Dark Force. We will look for the Iron Queen ourselves."
"Yes, your highness." The dark ninja said and was gone.
The Gothic Queen got up from her throne and her feathery cape flew behind her as she came down the small stairway.
"I am the Gothic Queen. I will personally find the child and own her powers forever! Soon enough, this insignificant world will fall on the hands of the Dark Force!"
Her evil laughter echoed as she bursted the doors open, then they closed with noisy creaks. Everything went dark.
