Spells and Louds.
Chapter 74: Situation Critical and Normal.

(Royal Woods Mall.)

The mall is looking busy as the school day is done, and not just that, but Leni and her work friends Miguel and Fiona are also done with their work shift and are taking their break, and right now they are at the food court and enjoying what they have ordered.

Fiona then looks to Miguel. "So, the big funeral is coming soon, and I hope you're not too upset."

Miguel sighs. "I am a little bit, but today I'm not thinking about that whole ordeal. There's a time to mourn and a time to do my job and I can do all the mourning I want when I get back home. I just wanna cool down and calm down, nothing else…."

They had concerns about him, but then they spot the others they know as friends come towards them. Lori, Carol, Dana, Becky, Whitney, Teri, Jackie and Mandee. "Hey, girls, glad you could all make it" said Fiona.

"Glad we could and we have tons of food, and all thanks to Carol and the ways with coupons" said Lori.

They all clap from hearing this and cheer for their friend. Carol chuckles. "Seriously though, I had no idea I had a large order coupon in my purse."

Whitney chuckles. "Well, the coupon must've been from the magazines you also have, way too obvious." A staff member goes to them and they serve the food that they ordered and it is so much.

"Dang, well time for us to eat this" said Dana. "Let's dig in!"

"Perhaps we may join you?" they all spot Pyrrha Nikkos and Penny Polendina go to them. "Hello everyone."

"Pyrrha! Penny!" Leni, Dana, Lori and Becky go over and hug them and they return the hug as well. The others are confused by the newcomers who just came.

"You guys are totes welcome to join us" said Leni with excitement. "There's like a lot of food here for all of us, and we can't finish this alone." Pyrrha and Penny go over and join them.

Pyrrha looks to the food and smirks. "Well, surely if Nora was here, she would demand for pancakes, and of course Ruby would ask for something sweet, such as candy." Penny chuckles hearing this.

Then Carol asks. "So, who the heck are you two?"

Penny is the one who makes the introduction. "Salutations, dear friends. My name is Penny Polendina McKenzie, and I was adopted by the CEO of FutureTech Martin McKenzie, and right after he repaired me and made me into something else new!"

The other did not see that one coming. Carol then wonders. 'Wait, Martin adopted someone?'

Pyrrha then gets up and introduces herself. "Greetings, my name is Pyrrha Nikkos and I am the apprentice to the Guardian of the realms Gyro. We are both from another world of the same kind, and are both student and warriors known as Huntresses. We are both also formerly deceased."

They all did recall from what Lori, Leni, Dana and Becky told them, about another world that is filled with monsters known as the creatures of Grimm, and these two are the proof of it. Then Penny asks. "Where is the rest of the team?"

Leni answers that one. "A lot of them are busy with their own things, we can't always be together all the time. We have our own stuff to do."

Lori then recalls. "Well, my sister Luan is here in the mall, and hanging out with Benny."

Then Mandee asks Pyrrha and Penny. "So, tell us about yourselves."

Soon, they begin to tell them about what they have done in the world of Remnant. The beasts they fought, the friends they made and the conflicts that have gone down, and especially the romantic thoughts Pyrrha had for her friend, Jaune Arc, and how they both got themselves killed. One by an accident, and one in the hands of a terrible person.

They all began to chatter about how it would've been sweet and amazing for Jaune and Pyrrha to have been a couple, and this makes Pyrrha smile and see that they are just like her other friends, Ren and Nora, and she does feel bad that she cannot see Jaune, but she knows she has her new job to accomplish and that is to finish her training as the new guardian of Remnant.

They soon begin to talk about Penny and what she does, from her eating, and other basic human things, and it does surprise them that she is a robot with cybernetic organs, but it was from FutureTech after all and so it would make sense why she has those parts and why she would seek to be as a normal girl would be. A dream Penny has, to be human.

As they all continue and finish talking, Miguel then looks to his watch. "Well, as fun as this has been. We can't stay or hang out longer, our lunch shift is over and we need to get back to work, we better go and see what else Ms. Carmichael wants, and it better not be boxes." Fiona escorts the ticked off Miguel.

Leni looks to the others. "See you guys later, and have fun shopping girls." She then follows her work friends.

Jackie then looks towards Pyrrha and Penny. "So, you girls wanna go and do some clothes shopping?"

Pyrrha nods. "Now that does sound like a good idea. The guardian gave me some cash to spend, and I think a new change of wardrobe would help me."

Teri chuckles. "Then what the heck are we waiting for? Let's get to shopping, ladies!" They all agree and head off to shop, and with their two new friends as well.

Then Penny notifies them something. "If we are to hang out somewhere, can we steer clear of magnets?"

(Somewhere in the Nexus.)

The Guardian Gyro is looking to the multiverse villain's board, and with him is Lord Dominator and the duo look at what's been going on, and it worries Gyro. "This cannot be good."

Lord Dominator sighs. "Now, normally I don't give a damn about any of this, but for someone to overthrow Hollow and knock him off to second place, now that is dang scary."

They see that on the board and on number one is Lord Dominator, even if she is a former villain, she has done things far worse than anyone has done. This makes her smile. "Dang, I love myself." She then looks to Gyro. "Bit, I'm changing for the better."

They then see that Hollow is on Third place, and he's done a lot of stuff that is almost as equal to what Lord Dominator has done in her life. "That man is not gonna like this" said Gyro, they then see the name on the board that took Hollow's spot. "Who the hell is Spinel and why haven't I heard of her?"

Lord Dominator rubs her chin. "Whoever this Spinel is, she sure knows how to make a blurred up photo, and she must be up to something. But what?"

"Chances this is the prediction of a new damned villain" said Gyro. "This rarely happens, the first time it did was when it showed me of Hollow coming, and that's how I managed to find him, Hollow is so going to god damn flip out from this."

"Maybe he hasn't seen it yet" said Lord Dominator.

Then a Dom-Bot arrives and informs them. "Lord Dominator, we could not get any communications of replies from the Sith Lord, Hollow Cabal. It seems that he is no longer within this universe and travelled elsewhere."

This did not sound good for Gyro and Lord Dominator. "Well, this is not good. We need to find out where he is, before he does something stupid!" He then leaves and so does Lord Dominator, they need to get the team and prepare to find out where Hollow went off to.

(Three hours earlier, another universe.)

A lone and large Star Destroyer is flying through space and is on the look for something and everyone onboard is on high alert and working, an officer goes towards Hollow and speaks. "My lord. The long ranged scanners show no sign of our target."

The Sith lord doesn't respond, but instead he uses the force and he throws the officer into one of the Storm troopers who just came in with Hollow's coffee. "I don't care how long it god damn takes! Find this Spinel person now! Scan the entire universe if you have to! We are not going home till our job is done!"

The rage he is showing is so powerful, that nearly everyone onboard is being force choked, but then he calms down and everyone returns back to work and they do what they can to hurry. "And someone get me another god damn coffee! Now!"

Another Storm Trooper takes his leave to get him another. Hollow puts up the villains board on screen and he sees his glitching picture is on second place, and he does not like it. "No one takes my ranks, no one!"

Just then the alarms are raised and an officer speaks. "My lord, Spinel has been found!"

Hollow then puts the screen to the scanners. "Lock the last known coordinates and prepare to track down the target." He sees the path of Spinel on screen. "Where are you going bitch?" He does see that her path started at this place called the Garden of Pink Diamond.

But he does notice the pattern of her movement is headed for…. Where they are, the Imperial Star Destroyer is in her flight path, and she's moving fast and the officer sees this. "Stop all engines! Reverse power, reverse the ship!"

All the fighters onboard prepare to take off and engage what is coming, while the Star Destroyer prepares to take off to avoid what is to come. Hollow then looks to the Starboard window and he sees for what is coming, and he turns on his light saber. "Get everyone to the escape pods, now! She's coming in too hot, and not stopping."

The officer makes the announcement and everyone begins to evacuate and abandon ship. The officer then looks to Hollow who remains. "My lord, what about you?!"

Hollow doesn't respond to the man and he continues to look out the window. "I will be fine, now go." The officer nods and he takes his leave, while Hollow prepares for what is to come. "This is it, come to me my wretched rival!"

The large pink drill is inbound, and everything turns into a bright light with a loud ringing sound.

To be continued…

A/N: Looks like Pyrrha and Penny are already making new friends. But what the heck happened to the sith lord Hollow Cabal? Did he make it? Find out in the next chapter folks, which means we are inbound for the Steven Universe Crossover. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
