Author's Note: Hey guys, and welcome back! I know it's been a couple of weeks, but I've been dealing with life as usual and trying to get these bills taken care, but now I'm here with a new chapter and it's going down! You'll be able to find out what it is that Baron Mordo pulled from the comic and it's an idea I got from an episode of Marvel's Spider-Man! So just relax and enjoy!
Chapter 44: War in Red!
A battle rages on as flames were shot at from mid-air, hex bolts were thrown, and punches makes contact. The VKs and Eliza are holding off the Mindless Ones to the best of their abilities until the others get there.
"Ben!" Mal said on her communication bud Lumière gave her and Ben while using her psychic knife to defend herself. "We found CJ, but she's has an army, we need backup!"
Static was only heard on the phone.
"Ben?" Mal said.
The Mindless One she's fight broke through her defenses and Mal manage to backflip before it could land a hit.
Evie as the Hulk kept punching the Mindless One she's fighting while backing it up into a wall before delivering the final punch. Jay jumps on the stone creatures' heads then landing a powerful kick on the the fourth one. Floating in the air, Quincy and Freddie launch their attacks, including a combination attack with fire surrounding a bigger hex bolt, making it a huge impact on a Mindless One.
"Back then, I thought dogs were the scariest things I've have to face!" Carlos said blasting his gun.
"I keep telling you there's worse things out there, but no!" Quincy said backing him up.
Quincy flew next to Carlos when he was struggling to make a dent on a Mindless and shoots a huge flamethrower at the creature and it fumbles back.
Evie, who transforms back, flips forward with a Mindless One chasing her until she flips over another one until the two collided with each other.
"That's what I call a Rock Smash!" Evie said with her fist in the air.
"That's you're comeback?" Mal smirks at her.
"They can't be all winners." Evie chuckles.
A punch from a Mindless One was coming there way, but they both dodged it.
"How bout less bad puns and more hitting?" Jay said pushing a Mindless on back.
As Jay was losing his footing, Eliza spin kicks the stone menace while in her diamond form, sending it flying to a wall.
"Thanks!" Jay said.
"Well, you know what they say, Diamonds are a girl's best friend." Eliza said.
As the fight continues, Mal blasts a psychic beam with the butterfly aura around her face and gets close to Eliza.
"I can't get Ben, what about you?" She asks.
"I can't in this form, but give me some cover." Eliza said.
"On it!" Mal said before running with her knife and hitting another Mindless One who was coming close.
Eliza changed back and puts her hands together to try to talk to Ben or anyone. As the VK defend her, Eliza does her absolute best to make contact, only to meet with a strange green aura. Suddenly, her head started hurting and it felt like she was loosing her mind.
"Ahhhhh!" Eliza screamed.
"Eliza!" Jay said before running to her.
She was about to collapse until Jay caught her in his arms.
"Are you ok?" Jay said.
"Mordo!" Eliza said.
"What?"
"Baron Mordo, he's cutting me off contacting Ben!" Eliza tells him.
"Oh, was that what that was about?" CJ said next to them. "He had a feeling you might try to call for help, so he thought about paying your other AK friends a visit."
Mal gasps.
"Oh no." Evie said.
Meanwhile in an Abandoned Candy Factory…
Ben landed on his back against a wall, and struggles to get up. He watches as the others defend them selves against Mordo. Chad zigzags his way to land a punch, but Mordo simply freezes him in midair and blasts him away. Audrey flys above and launches a sonic attack, but Mordo creates a portal to make it disappear and reappear in front of Audrey which hits her and hurts her ears, making her fall on the floor.
"Doug Smash!" Doug said making a mid air smack down.
But Mordo blasts a green lightning strike powerful to strike him.
"Rraaahhhh!" Doug said.
"Doug! Hang on, buddy!" Herkie said making run towards him.
Herkie lands a punch on Mordo's back, making him stop his attack an Doug, who landed on his knee and foot.
"Rrr, you'll pay for this!" Mordo said.
He made two green disks appear in his hands and throws them at Herkie, who takes the damage greatly, knocking him on his back. Jordan does a flip in the air before pulling out her sword and holds it over her head. Mordo sees this and makes a rope like weapon appear tie to his hands and blocks Jordan's sword. They both landed on the ground and with every hit she makes, he blocks.
"Is this the best you can come up with?" Mordo said.
"Not really, I'm just a distraction." Jordan smirks.
"Huh?" Mordo said.
Just out of nowhere, Mordo acts like he's getting hit in the face, leg and stomach. Suddenly, Ally reappears and delivers a punch to his nose.
"Bet you didn't see that coming!" Ally said.
"Why you…" Mordo starts to say.
But then he didn't notice until Ben's shield his Mordo in the back of his head, forcing him to to hold it, then Trevor comes at him with his glowing fist.
"Yaaa!" Trevor shouts.
He hits him so hard, he's flying towards Lonnie, who shoots her webbing at him and circles around until he got loose and Aziz manages to catch him before slam dunking him to the floor. Mordo was down and struggles to get up while barely opening his eyes. Then suddenly, spores were being floated around his face and he starts to inhale them. It looked like he was in a trace, nearly unconscious. The dust was coming from Jane's flapping wings.
"Nice work, Jane! He's out of commission." Ben said giving her a thumbs up.
Jane smiles while she lands gently on her feet. She and the others got close to Mordo to see if he's really down for the count.
"He seems defeated." Trevor said.
"I don't know, this seems a little too easy." Audrey said.
"It sure didn't felt so easy." Herkie said rubbing his back.
"What you think he's seeing in there?" Aziz asks Jane.
"Maybe some positive, I don't know. Last I heard, Pixie's dust makes them see good things." Jane answers.
While everyone was still inspecting him, Lonnie notices something in Mordo's pocket that was peeking out, something that's red looking.
"Hey, what's that?" Lonnie said bending down.
"Hey, careful, Lonnie!" Jordan said.
"I think it's ok." Lonnie said.
She was reaching for the item she sees, but then it started to glow, making her stop. Mordo's eyes were opening, also glowing but in a green color which was turning red. He then started to get an angry look.
"Enough!" He shouted.
He blasts his magic around him and makes everyone around him fly off and hit the ground and walls hard. He then lifts himself straight up and floats on a green disk under his feet.
"I didn't enjoy that torture you put in my head where it was all pink, bright and so god awfully happy!" He says to Jane.
"Guess they can't all be winners." Jane said.
"The only thing that's making me a winner right now is this!" Mordo pulls out a red jewel.
"What is that?" Ben said.
"This, you so called heroes, is the Blood Gem! It has mystical properties of unknown power! With this, I'll be able to weld it's limitless power and bend all of Auradon to its knees!" Mordo said.
"And let me guess, no one can stop you?" Jordan said.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." Mordo said.
Doug got up and begins to charge at Mordo with all his might.
"Doug, wait!" Ben said.
"Guess all have to show you." Mordo said before creating a giant glowing green fist and punches Doug when he got close. Doug got sent flying to a staircase and went through a wall.
"Doug!" Ally said.
She then unleashes a force field blast with her hands but Mordo shoots out a blast bigger than hers and breaks it before hitting Ally.
"Ahhh!" Ally screams.
"Ally!" Herkie shouts.
She slides by Herkie's feet, groaning at the pain she felt. Herkie holds her in his hands, though she was unconscious. This made him Herkie seeing the girl of his dreams injured and he felt such rage that he got up in front of everyone and he made a run towards run faster than ever and strikes his foot at him, but Mordo creates a shield to block him, but that wasn't going to stop Herkie as he kept making powerful kicks. He made kick after kick, stomp after stomp, even Mordo was have trouble keep up. Herkie then made one more stomp with both hooves sent Mordo flying, hitting a column. Doug eventually came out the hole he made.
"Wow, I didn't know Herkie was that strong." Chad said.
"Guess love will make you do that." Jordan said.
Ally was gaining conscious and was seeing what was happening.
"How's that for power?!" Herkie said still huffing and puffing.
"Herkie!" Ally said getting up.
Herkie turned to her voice and he immediately calmed down. Herkie ran over to Ally to see if she's alright.
"That was amazing, I didn't know you had it in you." Ally said.
"Me neither." Herkie chuckles. "I thought he really hurt you."
"I'm still kicking, aren't I?"
"You are, you're tougher than people think."
Everyone was smiling at them, even some of the girls awed.
Just then, Herkie thought this might be the time to tell her how he really feels about her.
"Ally, I…"
Then suddenly, green glow was lit up and Herkie turned around while everyone sees where the glow was coming from. It was from Mordo who looked like he wasn't injured. He then creates a field around everyone and from different angles, green blast beam hit them all over.
"Aahhh!" Everyone shouts.
They eventually went down defeated while the energy field disappears.
"What? Did I interrupt? My bad, now I think we should reunite with everyone else."
Mordo created a portal under the AKs and they all feel through while Mordo made himself one and it descended until it swallowed him whole.
Abandoned Warehouse
CJ was now fighting the VKs on her own and she almost couldn't defend herself. Quincy flies towards her while blasting her with fireballs. She kept on running and jumps off a wall to dodge them. Jay makes an attack with his claws but CJ ducks and Jay struck at the wall deep in. Evie as a goat goes in for a tackle with her horns, but CJ flips over her. Carlos and Eliza try's to jump her flip on her side and Eliza flies over her while Carlos flies under her and they both fell. Mal then comes at her with her knife and CJ blocks every attack with her sais. Just then, Mal does her last attack before extending her hand and lifts CJ in the air.
"Put me down, Malsy!" CJ said.
"Fine by me." Mal said.
Then CJ was falling until Freddie caught her with her red magic.
"Well this seems like a wrap." Freddie said.
"Rrrr!" CJ said.
"Alright CJ, now where's Mordo? And you better talk." Mal said.
"Yeah, unless you wanna end up like your passé here." Quincy pointed to the Mindless Ones, who were all defeated.
CJ keeps growling until she see a portal forming in midair, then she started to grin.
"Something funny?" Freddie said.
"You wanted to know where he is, you're about to get you wish." CJ said.
Two more portals showed up and zooms towards Mal and the others. The first portal took Mal and Evie, the second took Carlos and Jay, and the third took Freddie, Quincy and Eliza. CJ and the Mindless Ones were also being taken by other portals that just showed up.
Author's Note: Couple of battles took place, but at the end, Baron Mordo won this round, but what about the others? Stay tuned this weekend and Have a Wicked Day!
