Ashley and Lena were running down the already broken stairway to where they had entered. Ashley was trying not to trip as her companion was focusing too much to notice. Though in the back, Rapunzel and Eugene were following them, a bit slower. Rapunzel was making sure to dodge all the broken steps while Flynn barely dodged wasn't long before they headed out when Flynn started to ask.

"Why are we running away? What did they mean when they said just the appetizer?" He called as they darted out and towards a rock to do the spell to transport them on. His questions were not answered at first. Though after a few minutes Lena spoke up.

"This is bad. This is REALLY bad," She muttered as she looked to the group. Ashley was looking around for a piece of chalk in her pockets.

"What do you mean REALLY bad?" Eugene countered as he looked at the two in question.

"If they did what I think they did it is in the field of Necromancy," Lena continued.

"What is Necromancy?" Rapunzel asked as she looked from Eugene who had a dreaded look on his face to Lena once again.

"Necromancy is basically bringing someone back from the dead,"

"You don't mean…." Rapunzel said as her eyes wide and she bit her lip. Eugene was on the verge of collapsing.

"With the evidence we've seen that they might have brought back…"

Lena was cut off as another voice spoke. The voice was demanding yet charismatic. "Hello flower."

Rapunzel went wide eyed and frowned when she saw her. "Gothel…."

Gothel just chuckled as a light fog started to roll in and the sky started to get dark. The shadows overriding any light that was seen. She dropped down the cloak that was covering her face to reveal her gray skin. Her yellow eyes piercing through the darkness to look at the two love birds.

"How…." The princess stuttered.

"A little white bird...or should I say white steed showed me the way," She said and snapped a finger as a black vine pulled a rope that had Max tied up in.

"Max!" The girls said in unison.

Mother Gothel then turned her gaze to the new voices she heard. "Oh, what have we here?"She asked with a small chuckle. "You got friends now Rapunzel? How...quaint." She chuckled before looking back at Rapunzel. "They won't help you, you will be mine and mine alone."

"Oh you have no idea lady," Lena said as her scales started to appear and her eyes started to turn yellow. Her fangs elongated

Gothel raised a brow. "What is this? A girl with the power of dragons? "

"Oh trust me, it's more than that."

"Do you have powers to make people young too," She teased

"It's called potions lady, read up on that," Lena said before taking out her katana.

"Oh dear child, let's not make any hasty decisions, all I want is my dear flower to come back home to her mummy,"

Ashley launched an arrow by that time that cut a few strands of her dark curly hair. As it fell the pieces of hair turned into sand and blew off with the wind.

Gothel shrieked,"How dare you! You little brat!'

Lena turned to Ashley,"Why are you the one that gets called names, I'm the one everyone faints around."

Ashley shrugged before twirling her large paintbrush into that of a giant axe. She then got into battle position.

Rapunzel was just watching as the trio were going down. She was trying to sneak over to release Max from the clutches of her 'reborn' mother. She was almost there when a black vine wrapped around her ankle and lifted her up and towards Gothel.

"Now dear, that won't do, being sneaky won't get you anywhere with me," Gothel laughed. Rapunzel tried to hit her with her frying pan that she had sheathed. It didn't do much but a few whacks had left her without some hair as well.

Lena had noticed what was happening and decided to use her small manipulation of shadows to travel behind Mother Gothel. She then proceeded to cut the vine while saying,"Well sneaking worked for last time," She smirked and grabbed Rapunzel before disappearing into the shadows once more to where the others Mother Gothel was distracted, Eugene had went and released Max and was with Ashley at the stone. The circle had been drawn and all it was waiting was the incantation that Lena had to say.

Mother Gothel by now was fuming as the shadow vines she controlled started to whip out and lash out at things. Ashley was slicing at ones that came to far. She was trying to figure out a way to help them escape, or at least gett them a few minutes to escape and regroup and rethink It then hit her, Mother Gothel was standing really close to the tower.

"Get ready to leave, I have an idea,"Ashley said and made her axe turned into a grappling hand and she started to swing it over her head and threw it at the tower. Its' giant iron fingers gripped onto the already weakened stone and she pulled back. Slowly the tower creaked and stones became unhinged and began to fell. It wasn't long before the whole tower started to fall forward.

Mother Gothel was looking at it and was beginning to shriek as the spell was being used and the group disappeared before the rock was destroyed by the falling tower. Though as the dust settled about the collapse, an arm was revealed to have survived the impact. It slowly started to crawl back to it's masters.
