A/N: First off, many of the things from Descendants comes from my story We Choose Good-Auradon Force Saga, I will try to explain needed things as best as I can but feel free to check the story out, it's only 130+chapters ;). Things also start getting a little darker as Naomi's secret finally comes to light.
Isabel would have never guessed that her theory on parallel worlds could ever be so correct. But the four girls who had appeared were prime examples of that. Only moments before the sudden transport away they had been in a very different place.
Mal the eldest daughter of Maleficent and Evie the daughter of the Evil Queen Grimholde rushed to meet their friends at their typical table for breakfast before school started. They found that everyone seemed to be running late, although they found Audrey the daughter of Aurora and Phillip with Lonnie the daughter of Mulan and Shen already there.
"About time." Audrey teased them. "I thought you VK's were early risers."
Mal rolled her eyes in amusement. "Note how Jay and Carlos aren't here yet." She commented. She knew her twin sister Amy was already awake and was likely with her friends Melody the daughter of Ariel and Eric and Aquiella the daughter of Arista as they took a swim in the large pool they had in Auradon Prep, which also happened to be where the rest of the VK's took their swimming classes. Despite living on an island no one really swam.
"I guess coming back from an intergalactic journey to save another Earth can really take it out of a person." Lonnie speculated as she reached for her bottle of orange juice. They had recently returned from a sinister plan by a very old enemy to end their legacy and allow a bipedal race of alien triceratops called Triceratons to destroy the Earth.
Audrey waved suddenly and they turned to see her waving at Jay the son of Jafar dressed in a black tank and black jeans with his long hair behind him, Carlos the son of Cruella Devil in a yellow shirt and black pants and Ben the son of Belle and Adam aka The Beast coming toward them. Mal beamed as well at the sight of her newly kinged boyfriend.
As the three of them came closer though they were shocked to see the four girls suddenly vanish in front of their eyes. "Wow, what just happened?" Carlos asked.
"I don't know." Ben said. "But I think we better go talk to Fairy Godmother and see if she can find out for us."
"Uh, guys." Jay said as he leaned down and scooped up Audrey's iPhone. He saw Evie's, Lonnie's and Mal's lying on the ground too. "Wherever they went, let's hope they don't need these." He said as he reached for Lonnie's. Ben recovered Mal's iPhone and Carlos recovered Evie's.
Audrey, Mal, Lonnie and Evie appeared in a forest. They found themselves in between two guards and two young girls, one in a blue dress trying to stand up from being tripped up by a root and the other in a purple and pink dress looking to protect her.
"What the…" Audrey started and looked to the purple haired girl. "Mal, what did you do this time?" She asked.
"I didn't do anything Audrey." She replied. "I don't know what happened any more than you do."
"Where do you think we are Evie?" The Asian girl asked the blue haired girl.
She shook her head. "I don't know Lonnie." She answered.
Then Lonnie looked to the girl still standing and it all clicked. "Wait a minute." She remembered hearing some stories from her mother and several of her friend's mothers about being summoned like this to help a new princess in need by the powers of the mysterious Amulet of Avalor. She saw Mal look at the guards.
"Um, is this good or bad?" Isabel asked nervously. Sofia wasn't sure.
The guards decided to ignore the four confused teenage girls in favor of capturing the two princesses as the evil sorceress had ordered. Sofia knelt by Isabel, ready to try to protect her.
"We have to help them." Evie declared. But Mal and Lonnie were a step ahead of the blue haired girl and the brunette princess as they stepped in between the two men and the two little girls.
The guards stopped, trying to figure out what was going on here. "I suggest you two back off before we make you regret what you're doing." Lonnie warned them.
"What are you going to do?" One of them challenged as Audrey stepped up beside Lonnie and Evie stepped next to Mal.
"I'll show you what we're going to do." Mal said. She looked to her three friends. "Let's get to work." She declared, and Sofia saw the four girls reached for something only to see shock on their faces when apparently they came up empty.
"Um, where our iPhones?" Audrey asked. "This has never happened before."
The guards looked amused. Then one of them went for Mal while other went for Lonnie.
The guard who went after the purple haired girl tried to stab her with his sword but she dodged around the attack, then raised her leg and brought it down on his arm hard enough to force him to draw the sword. It was actually a miracle that she didn't snap bone as well. She elbowed him in the face and sent him falling backwards.
The guard who went after the Asian princess jabbed with his spear but she side stepped it and caught the middle part of the weapon in her hand before pushing it forward into her opponents stomach. He let out a grunt as he dropped the weapon and Lonnie performed a very impressive spin kick across his jaw that sent him sprawling backwards beside his partner.
"Wow." Isabel said. "Now that is impressive." She wasn't sure she had ever seen Gabe or Sonya do that particular move. She just wondered if these girls were on their side or simply eliminating the competition.
Sofia knew her amulet summoned them, so she assumed they had to be on their side. But impressive moves against two guys were one thing, but to save their families and friends they had to go through several big and tough demons.
The guards looked up in shock at Mal and Lonnie. Evie and Audrey were beside them now and looked ready to fight too. Sofia was sure if the brunette and blue haired girl fought as well as the purple haired girl and the Asian girl then the men were no match for them.
They seemed to have come to the same conclusion too as the two of them ran off. The four teens looked to Sofia and Isabel. Then the Asian girl took a step toward the younger girls and to all of their surprises she curtsied a little. "Princess Sofia, it's nice to actually meet you." She said.
"You know who I am?" Sofia asked in shock.
"Wait, this is Princess Sofia?" Audrey asked now. Mal and Evie looked just as confused as the Enchancia princess did.
"My mother told me about her encounter with you and another princess in a bamboo forest." The Asian girl explained to her. "I'm Lonnie, the daughter of Mulan."
Audrey nodded as she picked up what Lonnie said. "My mother Aurora told me about her encounter with you to remind you that you could rely on whatever animal friends you have, just as she did when she was younger. I always thought she made it up." She said a bit embarrassed and then curtsied as well. "I'm her daughter Audrey." She introduced.
Sofia was a little shocked to be meeting two of the daughters of princesses she had met in her short time as princess of Enchancia, and she dimly realized that meant those princesses were now queens instead like her mother. "It's nice to meet you, thank you for helping us." Sofia said with a curtsy of her own.
"Who are you two? " Isabel asked Mal and Evie.
The two exchanged looks a moment and then Evie smiled at them, "My name is Evie, I'm the sister of Snow White." She realized that if her step sister had ever encountered Sofia she had never heard of it. Instinct also told her that she had never encountered her other step sister Rose Red, since they had only rescued her and her son from an exiled island not too long ago. "And this is my friend Mal."
Sofia was kind of surprised they were still here. Normally the amulet only summoned a princess long enough to help and then they vanished. It also only normally summoned one princess, not four of them.
"So what was with those two clowns?" Mal asked as she glanced back at where the two guards had run.
"They were trying to take us back to this evil sorceress who captured the rest of our families." Sofia explained to them all as her face took on a sad expression. "My mom, my dad, my brother and my sister and my classmates." She took Isabel's hand. "And her grandparents, cousin, sister and their friends."
Now the four of them understood it. "This is why we're here. We're here to help you." Audrey concluded.
"How can you help us?" Isabel asked curiously.
"That's a good question." Evie said softly. "We don't have our iPhones."
"And it's just the four of us." Audrey added. "We don't have the rest of our friends here and we're used to like twenty people with us."
Mal smirked at the two of them. "If those two are the likes of what we can expect then we don't need any special abilities or more people to save them." She replied as she crossed her arms over her chest almost dismissively.
"Yeah, I wish it were that simple." Sofia said to them reluctantly. "But Shuriki, that would be the evil sorceress who has our family and friends, made some kind of alliance with these really scary looking demons and she's using them to help her."
"Demons?" Audrey questioned. At first Sofia thought she was skeptical, but she quickly realized that Audrey wasn't skeptical, she was concerned. "What kind of demons?" After Isabel described the one she knew best, the Caballero del Infierno, the brunette princess shook her head and sighed. "Swell, those things."
"You know about them?" Sofia asked.
Mal nodded. "Yeah, we ran into them a couple of times. So have some friends of ours." She sighed now. "Four of us, no weapons, no powers. We are in so much trouble." She drolled.
"There has to be something we can do to even out the odds here." Evie said as rubbed the sides of her head to ward off a developing headache at the bad odds in front of them. She took out her compact mirror restlessly.
Sofia watched her a minute and then an idea struck. "Is that a magic mirror?" She asked the blue haired girl.
"Yeah it is." Evie replied. She had gotten it from her mother the day they went to Auradon Prep, it was meant to help them steal Fairy Godmother's magic wand but it had found another use recently. "Can that help us?"
"I think it can." Sofia said with a small smile. "And hopefully we can try to solve your problem. But first we have to figure out how to get there." The girls looked confused but Isabel knew exactly what she was talking about; the secret library.
"What about your amulet?" Audrey asked. "Can we use that with Evie's mirror to take us wherever you want us to go like you brought us here?"
Sofia shrugged uncertainly. Evie handed her the magic mirror and said, "Give it a try Sofia." Sofia nodded and placed the glass of the mirror under the amulet and whispered something, Isabel assumed it had to do with the secret library. Then to all of their surprise they vanished.
Naomi opened her eyes and found her head was lying on Elena's lap. Jorge brushed some hair from her eyes and said, "Hey sleeping beauty." Not aware of how ironic that kind of was right now. "Are you okay?" He now asked her.
Naomi was slightly disturbed to see dried blood under his nose and on his cheek that she was sure originated from his lip. "What happened to you?" She asked, her voice kind of dry as she reached up to gently touch his cheek but couldn't remove the blood stain. She saw Christina move from her position by Elena's side to look down at her with a small smile, Kara was with her as well.
"I was just on the receiving end of those two skeletal demons, no big deal." Jorge promised as he cupped the hand that just touched his cheek and squeezed it softly. "I was more worried about you, you were the last one to wake up."
Naomi glanced around. To her horror she saw that Sonya had her head on Mateo's lap too because she was literally a mermaid out of water. She suspected that Mateo was using some of his magic to help keep her from dehydrating too badly. But his magic and the slightly glowing pouch on her waist that had to have been the jewel of the oceans magic would only help her for so long. She knew their friend needed to either become human again or be placed into water soon.
She could just make out Gabe, Esteban and Francisco pacing the area, possibly at Elena's request, to see if there was anything they could do. Blaze flew nearby, also scouting around. She assumed that the little bujito was ignoring the injuries she had sustained at Shuriki's hands. As far as Naomi could see nothing held them in place. She saw Luisa, Roland and Miranda consoling Amber and James, two of their three children.
"Where are we? Where are the others? Why don't we just walk out of here?" Naomi wondered as she struggled to sit up. Elena helped her to sit up but wouldn't allow her best friend to stand just yet.
"We're in some kind of fortress." Elena started. "Apparently it has no significance now though King Roland said there was something about it that mattered in the past, it's a historical sight. Sonya was the only one who was conscious to tell this."
"Yeah, being carried by the waist by that big Caballero thing was really uncomfortable." Sonya said. Her voice sounded strong for now, but Naomi knew it would only be a matter of time. To make it a bit worse she saw claw marks on either side of her waist where the demon had carried her.
"Hildegard and the others are in a cell like this adjacent to ours." Christina informed her now. "They're all awake but we can't reach them." She frowned in worry. "Sofia and Isabel aren't here. They managed to escape but Elena said two guards were sent after them. We…don't know if they got caught or what."
"Glad to see you're awake." Gabe said with a smile at his friend. Blaze hooted happily too. Gabe then worked a stone loose and threw it toward the other end. Naomi saw that it collided with a red force field of some sort. For a moment the field moved like water after a stone was skipped on it before settling down and looking invisible again.
"It's some sort of energy I've never heard of before." Mateo told them all now. "Except for once, when the Invocador showed up."
"I think there are slots or something that the demons installed that allow them to drop the force field or something." Gabe told them. "I can just make it out at the entrance to this place but there is no way we can reach it."
"What about any hidden passages or something around here?" Naomi asked. "Aren't these places usually full of things like that?"
"Start looking for anything like that." Elena said to Gabe. "We have to get out of here."
"I'm on it princess." Gabe replied with a salute.
"I'll help too." Christina said and started to stand up.
"Wait." Elena said and reached out to clasp Christina's hand in her softly. The young girl looked at her, and for a moment the crown princesses heart threatened to break as that look reminded her so much of her little sister. "Christina, Isabel will be fine, I know she will be. She's smart, she's resourceful and Sofia is with her. She's probably safer right now than we are, so don't worry."
"You're probably right." Christina allowed with a small smile and then leaned forward to hug Elena. The crown princess hugged her back and the little girl whispered to her, "Just do us all a favor and take your own advice." Then she released Elena and followed her brother to begin examining the walls.
They heard footsteps, loud ones. They turned to see one of the Caballero del Infierno's approaching with a half a dozen Imps. That large demon had a large pack that Elena saw held her scepter of light, Gabe's spear, Mateo's tamborita, Naomi's throwing axe and several weapons. Along with them was Shuriki and to Naomi's dismay the same guard who had attacked her earlier.
Elena felt Naomi tremble just a little bit as the man looked at her very intensely and he gave her a smile. "I'm glad to see you're awake Naomi. I wouldn't of wanted to hurt you. I have other plans for you." He said.
Elena felt herself getting angry. "You won't get near my friends." She vowed.
"Haven't you figured out yet that you're powerless?" Shuriki questioned the crown princess. "You're all here, except for that brat Sofia and your little sister. And that will soon change. As soon as they're brought here, you all die and your kingdoms become mine.
"That will never happen." Roland promised as he let Miranda take Amber and stepped up beside Elena. "No one will allow it. After today, one way or another, people will know what you have done here and will fight you."
"He's right." They heard from the other side and saw that Erika, Hildegard's father, and Jun's parents had stepped up as well.
Shuriki shook her head. "You just don't get it do you?" She asked them. "This is over. You can't stand up to the power I now command."
"She needs water." Mateo now said as he stroked Sonya's hair. "You know what she is Shuriki. She will eventually die if left like this." She looked strong now but they all knew what was inevitably going to happen.
"Have you not been paying attention boy?" Shuriki questioned. "You're all going to die sooner or slightly later. If the mermaid girl dies beforehand then so be it, she's not the one who needs to suffer." She gestured to the demons again. "And if those of Merroway Cove have a problem with that, they can try whatever they like, they will fail just as you have."
"We took out several of your demons already." Jorge said, recalling that he had killed at least two Imps himself, as had Gabe and Naomi. He was confident he could have taken out at least one of the Empezaban's himself. Even though he wasn't even sure he liked Sonya, he respected her abilities enough to know she could have taken out just as many demons too. Together he was sure they could have even taken out the Caballero as well.
"He's right." Elena said. "Just one more chance and we'll stop you."
"There will be no chances." Shuriki stated. "As soon as the two brats are here, all of you will die." She said and then looked to Naomi. "Except apparently you young lady." She gestured toward the guard who had accompanied her. "He has asked that I turn you over to him, and as a reward for a job well done I have agreed to it."
Jorge and Elena saw her shudder and they both glared at them. "I never thought even you would go that low." Elena commented with a glare. What she didn't understand was why.
Before Shuriki could respond the two men who went after Sofia and Isabel burst in. Shuriki looked ecstatic for a moment, but that changed to annoyance and anger when she realized they were alone. "Where are the princesses?!" She demanded to know.
That drew everyone's attention, and Elena could see Christina smile a bit to know two of her friends had eluded capture. Amber and James were also smiling at that. "They…they escaped Queen Shuriki." One of them told her.
"What?! How is that possible?!" She demanded to know. She was clearly furious at this revelation. "They are two little girls! How could they possibly have escaped you!?"
"Sofia outsmarted you." Elena reminded the sorceress simply, but she chose to ignore the crown princess as she waited for her minions to answer her question.
Neither royal family or friends expected the answer they got. "Four teenage girls got in the way and helped them." The same man answered. The quickly described the purple haired girl, the blue haired girl, the brunette girl and the Asian girl.
"You two got your butts kicked by teenage girls?" The other guard asked with amusement. Shuriki however was clearly not.
"Friend of yours?" They could just hear Hildegard ask Jun. She thought maybe the Asian girl was related to the Wei-ling family but she just shrugged.
Shuriki let out a growl. "Never send humans to do a demon's job." She stated and turned around and waved her wand. Two more Caballero del Infierno's, two Empezaban's and a dozen Imps in front of her. "Go, find the two brats and bring them to me. They must be alive." Elena hated the fact that she didn't say they had to be uninjured. "And these other four brats, kill them." The new demons vanished, presumably on their mission, and Shuriki motioned for the others to follow her out.
He stopped to smile at Naomi, it was not pleasant. "I'll see you later Naomi." He stated.
Elena and Jorge glared after them. "I want so badly to smash his face in." Jorge commented idly. The crown princess couldn't disagree.
One thing still bothered her though. She sat down by Naomi. "Amiga, I hate to ask this, but how does he know you and why is he so interested in you?" Elena asked her gently.
Naomi looked down, the first time that Elena could recall that her best friend couldn't look her in the eyes. "I…I don't know why he's interested in me." She answered, her voice almost a whisper. "But I know him…because a year before you were released from the amulet and overthrew Shuriki, he…he killed my mother and…and he raped me."
Elena felt her blood run cold and she didn't know what to say for a moment. Then she wrapped her friend in a hug. "Lo siento muy amiga. I'm so very sorry Naomi." Elena said in a whisper. Naomi wrapped her arms around the crown princess and did something she hadn't done since that night in the dark streets after everything had happened; she cried.
Jorge felt his blood boiling and wanted to get his hands on the man who did that to her but he figured that saying that to Naomi would probably not feel better. What he felt about it wasn't important, Naomi was. He reached out and rubbed her back gently. "I'm sorry to Naomi, I know you didn't deserve for that to happen." He said.
Mateo and Sonya heard as well but both of them kept quiet. There was nothing that they could say that her best friend and her potential love interest hadn't already said. They just kept their peace as they watched Elena console her best friend, who could finally release some of her feelings over keep such a secret hidden for over a year.
The four teen girls and the two young princesses appeared in the middle of the secret library and the four of them let out gasps of amazement. "Omg, Mal. I think this place actually has more books than the Queen Belle's library." Evie said to her friend.
"Amy would love this place." Mal agreed with amusement as she looked around. Her younger twin sister was one of the biggest readers she had ever met, losing herself for hours at a time in a good book. She loved her boyfriend's mother's library very much.
"Most of these books aren't actually finished yet." Sofia revealed as she held her amulet in her hands. "It's my job to give these books happy endings." This was relatively new information to her as well as this had been revealed to her by her Aunt Tilly. This was in fact how she had found out about Elena and Avalor.
"Does this invasion count as an unfinished story?" Audrey wondered.
"If it does, then we're about to write it a good chapter." Mal said with a smile. "Let's see if we can contact our friends and get some back up here for us." She exchanged glances with Evie. If these were indeed the same demons their friends had encountered multiple times then this wouldn't be the last chapter.
"What do we need to do?" Lonnie asked Sofia.
"Evie, normally I place a book over here." Sofia explained as she hovered her hand just over the small space below the large frame like object surrounded by crystal. "But I think if you put your magic mirror here it should open up the doorway you need."
"Sounds great." Evie said and placed her magic mirror where the young Enchancia princess indicated. It glowed and then they found themselves staring into a classroom. It was the same place that Evie, Mal, Carlos and Jay had taken remedial goodness 101.
They could see Fairy Godmother at the head of the classroom. Around her were not only Jay, Carlos and Ben but three more of their friends. One was a brunette girl Melody the daughter of Ariel and Eric. In her hand was the trident that her grandfather Triton had let her use for their missions to keep Auradon and the world safe. Beside her was a long haired brunette, Melody's cousin Aquiella who was dressed in an orange tank top with her left shoulder bare and orange shorts. And the last one there was a girl who looked exactly like Mal except for two differences; one was that she was shorter than Mal by about two feet and the other was that she had rose colored hair. Isabel guessed that was Amy.
"So they just disappeared?" Melody had asked. "That seems so weird."
"And these didn't go with." Ben repeated as he held out their iPhones.
"I don't think Mal is in danger." Amy volunteered. "At least for what that's worth."
"I have Jane scanning for them now, but if they're not in Auradon it might be a waste of time." Fairy Godmother said to them all. "She is also contacting our friends to find out if they know anything but so far we haven't heard back."
"This was a fine time for Ellie and Alex to go back to Arendelle." Carlos noted with a shake of his head.
"They had to make sure that things are going okay after the kingdom had to be repaired following the Ice Queen's invasion." Ben reminded him simply. Sofia and Isabel exchange glances. That was quite unexpected information and though they didn't know the details they thought it might be a good sign that they repelled an invasion.
Mal wondered if they could hear them or not and decided to find out. "Hey, when you guys are done maybe we could get a word in." She said to them. Evie giggled as Audrey rolled her eyes.
Ben looked up. "Mal. Where are you? Are you alone?" He asked.
"Nope, we're all here." Audrey answered. "We can see you in this kind of weird mirror thing in this really big library somewhere, wherever it is that Princess Sofia lives."
Carlos, Jay and Amy exchanged confused looks. "Enchancia." Fairy Godmother filled in for all of them though it was clear that Melody and Ben didn't need to be told that as they had the same vaguely familiar look pass their faces that Lonnie and Audrey had. "You must be in the secret library."
"How does she know about that?" Isabel asked.
"Sometimes it seems like Fairy Godmother knows everything." Lonnie answered. "Even though magic is all but forgotten in Auradon." That information kind of surprised Sofia and Isabel but they didn't say anything. In fact, that had been a topic of debate among their group as well, especially since they had used it to help them recently, Fairy Godmother had even conceded to start teaching magic classes to those of them who wanted it, though Evie had not joined the class despite her heritage.
"How can we get to you?" Amy now asked and Mal had to smile a little. Amy worried very much for her older sister, though in truth the feeling was mutual she just wasn't always as expressive about.
Sofia thought a moment. "Is there any mirror around there? We're talking to you with Evie's magic mirror." She suggested.
"One moment Princess Sofia." Fairy Godmother said to them. She left the room and returned pushing a floor length mirror. As if by magic they suddenly found themselves face to face through the magical mirror barrier.
"Hey, you left something behind." Jay joked as he pointed to the iPhones.
Audrey crossed her arms in annoyance. "We didn't leave anything behind, somehow those didn't transfer over to us when we were called here." She replied and Amy rolled her eyes at the drama but still giggled a little.
"And it's really bad timing too." Lonnie said to them. "We were summoned here by the Amulet of Avalor, headmistress. Their families are being held by an evil sorceress and she has command of those demons that attacked Mariner Bay."
"Oh that is not good." Aquiella said, a slight accent to her voice that no one could exactly identify since she originated in Atlantica.
"Can we use the mirror to come to you guys?" Ben asked. "We can help you out."
"That's what we're hoping." Sofia replied.
"Then let's get everyone together and let's do it." Melody declared.
"It'll take days for Alex and Ellie to return from Arendelle." Amy reminded them. "We're going to have to do this two people shy."
"No." Mal said. "You guys come through, we'll have to make do with what we have. Everyone else has to stay there in case Maleficent tries something. After what happened on Earth we can't ask the others to come watch Auradon this time." She instructed.
"Be warned that if for whatever reason their iPhones wouldn't go with them to Enchancia, then yours won't either. You won't have your powers." Fairy Godmother cautioned them.
"Uh, maybe we should rethink this." Carlos joked nervously, pulling on the collar of his shirt a moment.
"Okay hang on a moment." Melody said as she looked down at her trident and then perked up. "Maybe the time period prevents technology. But it didn't leave Evie's mirror behind. So maybe we can still use magic."
Amy perked up as well now. "So we can take our weapons. They might be the byproducts of our powers, of technology, but they're still magical items." She finished excitedly.
"That's what we're hoping." Evie said. "Can you bring our weapons for us please?"
"You got it." Jay promised. "See you in a few minutes."
Sofia looked to the four teen girls. "So you really stopped an invasion?" She asked them.
"Technically we've stopped quite a few of them." Mal said with a small shrug as if it were no big deal though at the time she certainly wouldn't have said so. "We had to go Wonderland to rescue Alice Liddell, the mother of one of our friends Ally and get rid of the Red Queen. We stopped this major creep Paradias from destroying Auradon, we also had to stop this primal creature Sermaya from taking resurrecting his people and destroying civilization."
"It wasn't an invasion exactly but don't forget the Neptunian's." Audrey added.
"The Neptunian's?" Isabel asked in shock.
"Do you know them?" Evie asked her.
Isabel nodded. "They invaded Merroway Cove and tried to steal this powerful pearl called the Jewel of the Oceans from friends of ours named Sonya and Oona, who is the younger princess of and Sofia's friend." She replied.
"Those little freaks." Audrey groused. "I knew we let them off too soon." She looked a little worriedly to her friends. "They must have invaded for the jewel after we stopped them from taking it."
"And they probably wanted to use that to get revenge on us." Mal agreed grimly. She looked to Sofia and Isabel. "I'm glad that you guys stopped them then."
"Thanks to Elena." Isabel said with a small smile and then it fell as she thought about her sister, their family and friends being held hostage somewhere. "I hope that everyone is okay." She added softly.
"Hey don't worry." Mal said as she approached the two of them, kneeling down and taking one of their hands in one of hers. "We're going to get your family out safe and sound and kick this evil sorceress out of power."
The mirror shimmered and the rest of their friends came out of the mirror; Jay, Carlos, Ben, Amy, Aquiella and Melody. Jay had a large bag over his shoulder that Sofia hoped had the weapons that Mal and her friends said they would need. "Miss us?" Jay asked.
Mal rose and went over to hug her little sister and her boyfriend, the two of them brushing lips together softly. Sofia could just imagine Elena and Gabe like that someday, and same with Isabel and James. Mal's affection for her sister was obvious, she saw that with Elena and Isabel all the time.
"So what are we waiting for?" Jay asked as he threw his arm around Audrey's shoulder and kissed her cheek, making her blush just a little. He looked to Sofia and Isabel. "Let's go save your friends."
Evie extracted her mirror and Sofia lead them out of the secret library. "Magic mirror in my hand, lead us to the place that holds the sorceress's plan." Evie chanted and the mirror produced a map from the tree of the secret library to their destination, which Sofia recognized from history class at Royal Prep.
They had only just left the hollow tree of the secret library though when a sickly bright orange flash seemed to zip through the forest, and in front of them appeared the two Caballero del Infierno's, the two Empezaban's and the dozens of Imps. They heard a gruff voice state, "This is your end. The time has come for you to all fall before our might." Isabel recognized it as the voice that had ordered the first Caballero to acquire the orbs. Mal and her team recognized it from the incident at Mariner Bay.
"Yep, same demons." Jay commented as they started toward them.
