Aisha, her friends and father made it to the forest, in Fuego for her last task and they must fight off their dark selfs in order to find the Nine Tales that still haunts the forest.
As the teens and ants were walking down north in the snow with nothing with their cloaks, pajamas and Ofcourse their bare feet, but thankfully the cold hasn't taken effect on them.
While walking, Aisha was thinking about Dragoon's advice before leaving to the forest, where the spirit nine tales still haunts to this day.
Princess when you go into the forest, this is where the nine tales still walks around in distress. It'll make your worse fears into reality. You, your friends and your father will have to face your darkest fears in order to get the nine tales or you and your friends will never get out of the forest alive.
Aisha kept thinking what should she do when she sees her fears that she has to fight alone, but it's not just her; it is her lover, father and friends that will soon have to face their fears as well.
"Are we even close yet?" Kevin complained as Aisha's train of thought ended.
"I don't think so, but this is the right direction." Aisha responded as she wrapped herself with the cloak, shaken not by cold but by fear.
After another 30 minutes of walking, Aisha and the gang made it in front of the forest.
"Guys listen, once we enter the forest we'll meet things we fear the most so this isnt going to be an easy trip for us." Aisha admitted.
Albedo shaked abit from the idea of meeting his fear while everyone stayed quiet for a moment. This was it; they enter the forest and they face their fears or they'll never get the nine tales.
Zoc placed a hand on Aisha's shoulder. "We'll go together Bloom." Zoc responsed as Aisha looked at her dad, who was determined to go together and nodded to him. Everyone huddled up together and looked at the forest for a moment; it was scary and just plain dead with the tree branches sticking out. With one look at the forest, they soon walked together.
As the group walked into the forest, they soon split apart, leaving to fend for themselves.
"Ben? Dad?! Lance! Anyone?!" Aisha echos were heard around the forest and immediately started panicking, looking around.
"Oh no.." Zoc said.
"Albedo? Selena?" Lance shouted.
"Ahh man.." Ben complained.
Gwen, Miranda, Kevin, TK and Albedo looked around in horror when the 8 teens and ant realized they were alone.
Soon Aisha started to hear evil laughter. "Wh-Who goes there?" Aisha demanded and looked around. She was just surrounded with trees and soon a dark fog appeared in front of her and it took the form of Aisha, just plain evil and wearing the exact pajamas as her. The evil form gave off a chilling grin.
"Y-you look like.." Aisha paused.
"Me? Ofcourse I am you." The evil Aisha sarcastically said. "And now.." The evil clone punches Aisha in the gut so hard and fast that she pushed her against the tree. Aisha started gasping for air then started coughing out blood with her back against the tree.
"Let's fight." The clone said while Aisha shake abit.
Zoc and others encounter fears as well; their shadow selfs filled with dark hearts and fears they can't faced until now. This was the only way to fight them In order to face their fears once and for all; Zoc was blasted away from his evil clones magic, making scream.
"Had enough?" Zoc's clone said with a grin.
Ben was pushed away from his forms Onmitrix powers. "Humongousar!!!" The clone said, making Ben run, but that was fruitless.
Gwen, Miranda and TK were vulnerable with their powers from their clones as they threw mana disk at the anodites.
Kevin has to fight off his mutant form, but he was too strong for Kevin. "You're too weak!"
Albedo and Lance fought theirs on their own without any powers of their own.
"Your sister left you because you were a pussy!" Lance clone said.
"You have no one left, you let your people die and yet you still live." Albedo clone kicked Albedo on the stomach, making him gasp.
After an hour of fighting with their clones, Aisha, panting and bleeding, suddenly dodge from her clones punch, making her land on the snowy floor and tried to run away but she was blocked from her clone.
"Trying to run away from me brat?" The clones right hooked Aisha's face across the forest. She remained lifeless on the floor, panting and tried to get up but was weak.
Everyone else seem to lose their fighting spirit as they wheeze and bleed.
"Admit defeat cause you won't win Aisha..." Aisha's clone said.
"You May have the brain but yet you won't become a full Anodite like your grandma Verdona." Gwen's clone told Gwen.
"An anodite like you shouldn't be one! You're an immature self centered brat!" Miranda's clone told her as she whimper quietly.
"You make me sick. A male anodite shouldn't master the power from Anodyne.." TK clone said.
Aisha passed out for a moment and remembered that she isn't doing this alone; She felt her friends and father were fighting their fears and she felt like they were giving up. Immediately, she took off her cloak and threw it on the side and got up from the snowy floor, turning her attention to her clone, in shock.
"No way, you shouldnt have gotten up with all the moves I got from you. How is that possible? And how are you still moving when you're bleeding? There is no way you could of survive all those attacks?! Who are you anyway?!" The clone demanded.
"Aisha, that's my name." Aisha responded calmly. "And I'm boxer. You may have my moves and talents but you don't have the Heart of a boxer or a princess. You may also have the words to push me down but your words make me stronger! I faced boxers twice as worse as you and even in every battle, every Win or lose, my head is still up and I'm determine to win the next one! Even my friends I met along the way help me become.. the best boxer in the world! And that's why I am not gonna lose to a negative clone like you! Because I am Aisha, The Princess of Fuego and the keeper of the mythical creatures!!! And NO ONE WILL TAKE THEM AWAY FROM ME!!!!!! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!?!?!?!" Aisha shouted and her Heart of Fire shined brighter than usual.
The clone gasp and saw a silhouette of the Phoenix bird.
"ULTIMATE PHOENIX FLAME!!!!!!!!!!!" Aisha shouted as the fire Phoenix cried out and flew toward the clone, making her clone scream and soon clashed with the great bird and soon a bright light appeared, brightening the whole woods.
As the light dimmed down, Aisha stood still as red feathers rained down. There was no snow falling, but a bright sun appeared in the sky as Aisha looked up for a moment, smiling as the wind blew against her face with dried blood was on the corner of her lip and nose.
She suddenly heard footsteps from behind her and immediately turned around and what she saw was a beige nine tale fox, looking at her. She looked back at it and notice her ring glowing and soon realized that this was vengeful spirited nine tales.
"Are you.. the nine tales?" She asked and it nodded then it walked toward her. Aisha stood still for a moment, fearing it might bite her. Yet the fox sat in front of her and Aisha kneel down, she started looking into its red eyes for a moment until a vision came to her.
Many years ago, the nine tale fox was running away from poachers on the planet Fuego, in her tails was two eggs. She was also a mother as well. She feared that if they were found, they would go extincted so she hid them under a tree and hoped they wouldn't be discovered, but suddenly one of the poachers used rope to captured nine tales then.. she was slaughtered. Two weeks later, a hooded figure was in the woods when she stumbled upon the two eggs. They were cold when touched and soon took them home, in the castle where they remained for a long period of time.
Aisha looked at the fox with sadness in her eyes.
"I'm so sorry for your life being taken so suddenly.. but you don't have to worry. Your babies are safe.. with me.." Aisha told the fox and gave the mother fox a vision of her twin fox cubs; Icy and Treasure, who are now treasured with love with the people around them. The mother fox smiled and bowed down to Aisha and soon dissolved into the air, transfer its soul into the ring.
Aisha smiled softly. "Thank you and I'll always protect them under my wing." she said and heard footsteps. It was Zoc, her boyfriend and friends. They were injured but ok.
"Bloom!" Zoc shouted and ran toward Aisha, dropping his staff along the way.
"Dad!" Aisha got up and ran toward her father and hugged her, smiling and cried softly.
"My baby, are you ok?" Zoc asked while hugging his Daugher tightly.
"I'm fine dad, how about you guys?"
"We're fine now, what did you do? By the time we were about to be finished off by our clones, a bright light came and when it dimmed down, they were gone!" Zoc explained.
"What power did you used Aisha?" Kevin Questioned.
Aisha smiled. "It was the power of the Heart of Fire, along with the Fire Phoenix.." she answered.
Ben, Miranda and soon everyone hugged Aisha, making her chuckle abit but they stopped when a shadow of Dragoon appeared out from the sky and landed near the forest. The teens and ant ran toward Dragoon.
"Dragoon!" Aisha yelled out and he nuzzled her face.
"You did Well Princess. Now you have three mythical creatures in your hands." Dragoon said.
"You got the nine tales? Where is it?" Ben asked.
"I'll tell you later, let's go home.." Aisha gave out a tired smile.
Dragoon lowered himself to let the teens and ant get on his back. "Watch your step. Princess, you should ride me."
Aisha wasn't so sure, but she immediately complied and climbed on Dragoon's head, holding on to his long whiskers from his snout.
"Like this?" Aisha Questioned.
"Perfect, since you are my owner you should know how to ride a dragon." Dragoon said and spread his large black 32 feet wingspan, making them flap.
"Wait what?!" Aisha gasp as soon Dragoon started running toward a cliff nearby.
"Oh no no no no no!" Albedo shouted in fear that they won't make it while gripping on Lance.
"I'm scared big time!" Ben shouted as he and Zoc hugged one another.
Gwen and Miranda hugged one another while TK and Kevin hugged as well.
"If we don't make it, I want to tell you all that you are the bestest friends I could ever had and I wouldn't replace you guys ever!" Lance confessed. "And Selena!" Dragoon then fell from the cliff and soon they started falling. Everyone was holding one another and screaming.
"IM SORRY!!!!" Lance shouted and soon Aisha took control of Dragoons flying, making him fly across the Frozen ocean. She gasp as her heart felt like it was in her stomach for a moment and felt herself, flying along with Dragoon.
"Well done, Princess." Dragoon said calmly as they flew out of Fuego.
"Is everyone alright?" Aisha looked back and gasp again; she saw her friends and her father shaking like leafs from the falling episode and still hanging on to one another.
"W-we're good.." Lance said, giving her a thumbs up.
Aisha smiled and looked at space; so beautiful and mysterious she thought and yet they can breathe without having any spacesuits.
"Flying with dragon, check." Aisha chuckled.
Princess, You should know that as a dragon tamer we dragons can breathe through space just as long you are with your bonded dragon. Dragoon said in thought.
Really, that's amazing and we can also communicate by thought? Aisha asked.
Yes, in time when we're apart. I'll always find you. Dragoon said.
We'll talk about this later Dragoon, right now let's go home. Aisha calmly said as she and Dragoon flew toward earth.
Meanwhile back home, It was night time and still no word from Aisha or anyone else. Monique and Marquise were getting worried as well and soon they called on Mr. Casper along with his fiancé Maddie. They were close friends to Aisha's family but something was wrong when Monique told them that Aisha or any of her roommates have returned home.
Right now, Maddie was fixing some tea in the kitchen with Azmuth. Mr. Casper and Maddie had knew about the pets, ant, puppet and ant taking care of home while Aisha and her friends are at school and it was their priority to make sure they are safe and sound. Marquise was laying on the couch, sleeping away along with Monique. The pets and puppet were watching baby Maurice, sleeping on the other side of the couch with a baby blanket under him and promise Mo-Mo to notify her when her baby is crying.
Casper was pacing back and forth on th living room floor.
"Joshua, calm down. I know you're worried about Aisha's safety, but she'll come back." Maddie said while pouring the tea in 3 cups.
"How can I calm down? I promised Amber that I look after Aisha whenever something happen to her." He said in distress.
"Now now, I know she'll be coming home in no time. She's like a daughter to you, isn't she?" Azmuth questioned Casper.
"Yes, she's like a daughter to me and she's also my brightest student in class but I can't shake the feeling she might hurt somewhere along with my other students!" Casper said when they suddenly heard screaming outside, along with a neigh.
Immediately Mr. Casper and his fiancé raced outside the backyard to see Aisha on top of a dragon.
"Aisha?!" Joshua shouted.
"M-mr. Casper?! Maddie?!" Aisha shouted back and soon fell off from Dragoon's head, but soon he caught her with his snout and gently let her down on the ground.
"Th-thank you." Aisha said and Dragoon nodded.
"Aisha!" Maddie said and hugged her. "Where have you been?! We were so worried!" She then looked at Aisha and gasp. "You're hurt!"
"I'm fine Maddie, don't worry." Aisha responded.
"Aisha where have you been?! Monique was getting worried about you and everyone! Including Azmuth and the pets!" Joshua told Aisha. "And Who is this?!" He pointed at the Dragoon.
Maddie slowly helped the shaken teens and ant off Dragoon's back.
"Thank goodness.. ground.." Albedo touched the grassy ground, whimpering.
"No more flying, no more flying.." Gwen did a fetal position on the ground, rocking herself.
It seems that Aisha's flying kinda took great effect on everyone.
Yes! Aisha got ahold of the nine tales and the great dragon known as Dragoon. The name Dragoon came from a Bit Beast from my favorite TV Show; Beyblade. For my next chapter, it's Halloween time. I know I'm a little too late but let's continue the story!
See ya!
