Spells and Louds

Chapter 388: For Ephedia.

(Ephedia Resistance camp.)

Izira stands outside her camp and she awaits the arrival of the allies from earth and the others realms, and then she sees a blinding light has come down and right in front of her are the Lolirock girls, Lyn, Carissa, The Royal Defenders and Gyro. "Glad you could all make it, we spotted Mephisto and Praxina headed towards the castle of Ephedia, they must be handing the last oracle gem to Gramorr right now. So, what's the plan?"

They all look to Iris, she looks to all of the people who are there at the camp and are all ready for the fight. "We need a diversion." They then hear a large humming sound and all of them look up to see the Aegis Battlecruiser, the Imperial Fleet and the Sphere of Adune. They're army has arrived to help them.

"It appears we have our allies with us at last, and we are all following you into this fight Princess Iris" said Gyro. They all agreed for this, and towards the Princess. "Let's go and evict Gramorr from this realm."

(Castle of Ephedia.)

The twins, Mephisto and Praxina have arrived to the castle and there they see their lord and master, Gramorr. They kneel in front of him and Praxina speaks up. "You're vileness, we preset to you with." Mephisto then opens his hand and shows his master the gem.

Gramorr's eyes glow red. "The last Oracle Gem!" Banes roars at this success and Gramorr teleports towards them. He then takes the gem from Mephisto.

"With the power of the gem, I can finally do what I've longed to do!" Gramorr then teleports to where the Crown is encased in crystal, with Banes by his side.

Then Mephisto coughs. "And uh, our reward?" But Gramorr ignores him and just goes to the crystalized crown and shows the Oracle Gem.

Gramorr then corrupts the last Oracle Gem and it shatters the crystal prison of the crown and then he uses his beast like hand with a crystal embedded on it to absorb the crown and he consumes the entire magical might of the Crown of Ephedia, and with the crown and all 33 Oracle Gems at his control, the barrier keeping him within the castle fades.

Mephisto and Praxina open their eyes and look onto their dark master, who laughs maniacally with the new powers he has gained, the powers of all the Oracle Gems and the crown are now his to control. Praxina smiles from this. "At last, Lord Gramorr has been restored to his full evilness!"

Gramorr feels as if he is unstoppable with his new power. "Now to the Temple of Andrak, where Ephedia will feel the sting of my true power!" Praxina is amused by this, though her male twin has worry about all of this. They are then teleported to the site.

(The Temple of Andrak.)

Gramorr, along with Banes and his twin Lieutenants are now at their destination.

Mephisto looks around. "What are we doing here?"

Gramorr then uses the powers of the dark crystals and he creates a shadowy sky above all of the world. "From this vantage point, I can be able to cast a spell that will enslave the entire planet and perhaps all of the worlds in this wretched universe will bow before me!"

Mephisto looks around at what is happening and is having so much doubt about all of this. His twin sister on the other hand is overjoyed by it all. Praxina laughs. "The Ephedians will bow and scrape the floor before us."

"And Lord Gramorr will strike fear into the hearts for years to come." But then his reign is interrupted by the blast from something. "What is this? Who dares to interrupt me at my finest moment?!"

They look down to see an earth based weapon blasting at them, Leon in his Tiger Tank. "I dare you reject Sauron! Load HEAT and Fire!" The Tiger Tank fires another round and it hits Gramorr, but he stands tall. But he is unaware of the cracks on the crystal platform they are on.

Gramorr is deeply enraged by this man and his weapon. "You think you can resist me?"

"No, but we do Gramorr!" He sees Izira and her resistance team and an army of beings from other realms.

"In the name of all things of that is life, Gramorr we are giving you this chance to cease immediately or be crushed by our full might!" said Artanis.

Gramorr laughs. "You have no authority here creature, this is my domain and all of you will bow before me!" He summons forth an army of black crystal monsters. "Destroy them all!" The monsters roar and they charge towards them.

Lincoln has Mjolnir in hand and he fuses it with his Shredder Blasters and it became Sky Striker. "Okay people. Let's break them!"

They all charge into the fight and battle the crystal armies, though the crystal armies are many they are easily dispatched by the Resistance and the Royal Defenders.

"How can this be? We have so many of them, but why are they getting destroyed too easily!" said Mephisto.

Just then an artillery barrage is blasted onto Gramorr and his two henchmen and they spot an army of Siege Tanks and Artillery weapons inbound with a massive air fleet and the large ships in the sky sending blasts onto the surface.

Gramorr chuckles at this. "So, they think an army this massive can be able stop me? They have no idea how powerful I have become! For I am Gramorr, and this world is mine!"

"I wouldn't bet on it!" Gramorr sees the three princesses riding their unicorn-Pegasus friend Amaru, they jump off and land behind them blocking their entrance.

"That's enough out of you Gramorr!" said Talia. All three Princesses: Iris, Talia and Aurianna them transform into their magical princess forms and prepare for the battle, all while Gramorr's army is being eradicated by the armies of justice below.

Gramorr has his back turned and looks to the armies clashing and just laughs. "Do you think, you're petty little powers can have any effect on me?" He then turns around to mock them.

Talia then shows the medallion of her sister, Izira. "How's this for petty? By the power of …" but before she could say anymore, Gramorr uses his new powers to send the Princess of Xeris into the air.

"Talia!" Gramorr then knocks back the other two without even touching them and then Talia comes back down to the ground and she drops the medallion of her sister and it lands into the forest, only to be picked up by Hollow.

"This fight is not going well for them. Perhaps they need some assistance now." Hollow then uses the force to get up there.

Gramorr chuckles at all of this. "Ha. You're strongest of magic's is much more of an infant towards me!"

Iris, Talia and Aurianna get up, but then Gramorr sends three of his dark crystals to strike at them. The three princesses brace for impact, but then they see the crystals don't hit them, for they have been shattered by their two other allies, Lyna and Carissa.

Carissa and Lyna stand tall with the girls. "Ready to lob some big time crystal guys?" asked Lyna.

"Totally!" said Iris. All five girls come together with their weapons in hand and they send in their strongest magic spells. "Crystal Quinta!"

Then Gyro also comes in. "Allow me to give you all one hell of a realm sized magical boost!" they send their blast onto Gyro's staff which them combines all their powers with his and they send a massive Realm forged Crystal Quinta onto Gramorr and his two minions.

They soon stop to see the results and as the smoke clears Gramorr and Banes stand tall and Mephisto and Praxina teleported back behind their master, they stand their ground from the blast and this makes them gasp in shock.

Gyro sighs. "Of course, the Oracle Gems give him the equal power to that of a Guardian. Sort of."

Gramorr then uses his magic to pull the five girls towards him. "I'll try to make this quick and painless." He then sends them crashing onto the main gate of the temple.

"Princesses!" yelled Gyro as he goes to them.

"Well, maybe not completely painless." Gramorr then slams his fist onto the ground, which then causes the whole gate archway to collapse onto them. Praxina chuckles at this, but Mephisto is now worried about all of this.

Then Amaru in his magical unicorn-Pegasus form flies into fight them, but Praxina uses her magic to blast him away and he turns back to his Quilcat form and is caught by Gyro. Gramorr is shocked. "What?!"

The rubble is cleared and they see Gyro has casted a force field to shield them from the collapsing debris. "You petty low-life scum of a Black Crystal Sorcerer."

Gramorr looks onto the man. "Guardian, I knew I recognized your magic. It was you who has returned."

"Yes, and I have come back to end you're reign of madness, once and for all!" said Gyro as his eyes glow green and then blue and red. The rest of the girls are still down and out from the impact.

But then Gramorr is struck by some crystal magic, Gyro sees that Iris has gotten back up and she looks angry. "Princess?"

"Guardian, this is my fight!" said Iris. Gyro nods and he backs off, instead he goes to tend to the other girls.

"She's calling on her Shanila!" said Praxina. (Info: Shanila - is a particularly powerful stage of the magic development, achieved through the rite of passage involving the loss of hair, and is something that all the princesses have gone through at some point in their lives, with Iris being the last one to do so.)

Gyro smiles. "About damn time too." He then goes back to healing Lyna and Carissa. The others have cleared out the armies and look onto the pink light emanating from the Temple of Andrak.

Gramorr chuckles at this. "Those puny powers are no match for mine."

"You monster!" Iris enters her new and empowered form, as a beam of light is made and all debris and crystals are now floating around them. Everyone shields themselves from the shockwave and as the light fades, they all look in awe.

The four girls awaken and see that Amaru has made a barrier and Gyro has finished healing them. "Iris?" asked Aurianna. They were now looking at the Princess of Ephedia in her newest and powerful form.

Gramorr sends his blast of energy and so does Iris and they are equally matched as they try and push the others blast towards the other. "Now this is what I call an equal source of pure magical crystal energy! They are in a stalemate!" said Gyro.

The shockwave makes a big impact that almost everyone is knocked back, Mephisto catches his sister. "Prax."

Praxina looks in shock. "She's countering him? That's impossible!" She gets off her brother and she goes over to her master's side.

Iris does her best to hold off Gramorr's magic and her friends look to her believing she can do it. "Give up princess, and perhaps I can spare, some of you." Gramorr continues his relentless blast and this pleases Banes.

But Iris was not gonna have it. "Never!" She sends an even more powerful blast towards Gramorr and this makes Banes teleport away, as Gramorr does his best to hold his own against this powerful magic.

But the shockwave of this powerful crystal blast from iris is so strong that it shatters the large red crystal above Praxina and Mephisto sees this. "Praxina!" He then teleports to his twin sister and he pushes her aside.

Praxina then gets up and sees a large hole onto the platform and she looks down and sees her twin falling with the shattered red crystal now glowing purple. Mephisto then looks up to see his sister looking towards him, but the crystal now glows and detonates and makes an explosion to that of ten land mines.

Praxina is stunned in place from this, she lost her twin. Her brother, Mephisto is gone. "No. Mephisto!"

Iris sees this and she watches as the rest of the platform breaks and Praxina also falls into the forest below. This gives Gramorr the advantage and he makes his own crystal blast and it pushes Iris back.

"Iris!" The princess is knocked back, but then she opens her eyes and sees Talia, Aurianna, Lyna and Carissa and even Gyro holding Gramorr's magic blast back.

Then Reforger comes down from Netherborne Nel'Drigosa (Fusion of Sindragosa and Nel'Thorious) and it helps Iris back on her feet. "Time to finish him off Princess." Wrathion, Pyrrha, Raven, Charmcaster and Neil also stand by her side.

Iris nods and with her Shanila magic she sends a single piercing crystal and pierces through Gramorr's beastly hand and the gem he has embedded onto it. "No!"

Iris then controls the still implied crystal on Gramorr's hand and it removes all the energy he has stolen and the Crown of Ephedia and the Oracle Gems are free. "What? No!" Gramorr tries to reach for the crown but it goes straight towards Iris. It then creates crown replicas for Talia, Aurianna, Lyna and Carissa.

Gyro is shocked by this new thing. "Wow. This is new, I have never known the crown could do this."

"No!" Gramorr holds onto his wounded hand which was now seeping out energy.

"Gramorr!" The dark wizard looks in fear towards the Princesses and they're allies. Iris then holds a Crystal sword. "I won't let you harm anyone, anymore!" The sword and the weapons of the Princesses glow, along with the Staffs of the Guardians, the Realm Cleaver, Deathwing's mace and Wrathion's relic sword that he just made himself, earlier.

"Why is this happening to our weapons?" asked Neil as he looks to his mace.

"This is a new sword, why is it becoming embedded by this magic?" asked Wrathion. "I didn't even do anything to earn this." Gyro and the other guardians are also confused, why are they also getting this kind of magic?

Gramorr then shatters the crystal stuck on his hand and his eyes sear our fire. "I'll make you pay for this! All of you will pay for this!" His beastly hand then expands and he sends out a powerful blast of dark crystal magic.

But the Princesses begin their chant. "Together fighting harm with crystal charm."

The others were confused if they should say this and they just look to Gyro. "Yeah, what the princesses said." they all combine their might and magic and send out one hell of a magical blast, crystal magic of Ephedia, with some other worldly magic as well.

Gramorr is caught within the blast and then he sees, far from him by some ruins is his companion Banes. He reaches out for his aid, but the Black Panther looks to him with disappointment and disappears, leaving Gramorr to perish.

The blast is so intense that everyone from across the planet of Ephedia can see it and even those beyond the planet can see the bright light. "Wow, this is bright!" said Gyro.

As the blast if light fades, the dark clouds move away and the sunlight appears. Aurianna and the others get up and they all look around. They then see Iris, looking to the crown and the crown flies off back to the castle.

"Iris!" Aurianna tackles Iris and cries for the near tragedy that almost went to them, but they were also tears of joy and Talia helps them up. Charmcaster and Pyrrha also help Iris up.

Gyro goes to them. "We did it, Gramorr is gone and the kingdoms are no longer defiled by his evil."

"Look!" Talia points to the castle and they see it being restored back to its rightful glory.

"The castle is free!" said Aurianna with joy. Amaru smiles and cheers from this.

"Which means, so are my parents" said Iris with slight joy, she is still kinda hurt from the whole fight.

The armies cheer for this win. "Now this is truly a victory meant to be written, amongst the starts" said Artanis. Lincoln, Linka and Jordan hug each other, and Luna, Sam and Leni also join in. The rest of the teams are a bit exhausted from that fight and Leon and Sergei open up a can of soda and cheers to each other.

Gyro smiles. "The land is saved and evil has been defeated, once again."

Wrathion stands next to Gyro and looks upon this glorious land, then he notices. "Where is Hollow? I thought he would be with us in this fight?" They also look around for the Sith Lord.

(Somewhere in the forest.)

Praxina crawls onto the ground grieving for what has happened. "Mephisto? Mephisto, no! It can't end like this!" then she gets startled from the sound of something rustling in the darkness and then she sees it, "Banes?"

Tha shadowy Black Panther walks towards her with the broken mask of Gramorr, but just as he is about to drop it. He is blaster away by a green black crystal energy. "Get back you stupid cat!"

Praxina is shocked to see who it was. "Mephisto?"

Banes roars at the dark crystal summoner. "Are you deaf and stupid? I said get back!" Mephisto makes a dark crystal sword and he chases away the evil creature and it flees into the darkened woods.

Mephisto then drops the sword and he sees his twin sister in tears. "M-Mephisto?"

The male twin goes over and hugs his twin sister. "Praxina! It's okay now, I'm here now!"

Praxina was confused and sheds tears and hugs him. "Mephisto! I …. I thought that …. I thought you were, and the ….. You fell and, and you were. But, how did? Mephisto …. How?"

They then break from the hug and Mephisto looks to someone. "He saved me, he saved me from being destroyed."

Praxina sees the hooded man, cladded in dark clothing and with a powerful gauntlet to his left arm. "Hello children, it seems you are in need of a new master" said Hollow.

They both get up. Praxina goes to the man and has one thing to say. "Thank you, thank you for saving my brother. Thank you so much."

Mephisto goes over to his sister and helps her up, she's still a bit woozy from the fall. "We don't know how to repay you, but since you did say we needed a new master. Then we are in your debt, my lord."

Hollow smiles, even though he's wearing a mask, he is smiling. "Not lord, call me. Supreme Leader, and through me I can show you both a path, a new path away from this shattered turmoil that Gramorr has befallen onto you both, there is no other path left for you and your brother to take and taking up the mantle of Gramorr will most likely lead you both into your demise. So, what do you say?" He offers them his hand.

Praxina knows that he is an ally to those heroes and probably to the princesses and so does Mephisto, but he helped save her brother from his demise and seems far too powerful to defeat even if he does not have the Infinity Gauntlet.

She looks to her brother who nods. "I think we made a mistake siding with the bad guy Prax, he seems far more superior than Gramorr ever was, and we owe it to him for this."

Praxina looks to Supreme Leader Hollow and smiles. "All hail, Supreme Leader." Both she and Mephisto accept his hand and offer, they are now bound as his disciples. "What shall we do now master?"

Hollow smiles. "The new path you have chosen, is now bound to what I order. We shall speak more of this, onboard my empire." They are all warpped away into his Capital Ship, the Vader's Star.

Banes saw what happened, which means his new plan has failed and now he has to do it on his own.

To be continued ….

A/N: And that ends that, the rest of the ending of what happened will be in the next chapter, and I loved how I made the ending because I believe that Mephisto and Praxina deserve a better path than what Gramorr could've given them, plus they're not evil, just misunderstood nitwits. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
