Spells and Louds

Chapter 389: Ephedia Aftermath

(Nighttime, Sunny Bay.)

At the Sunny Bay Grand Park, the whole place is packed and the ones checking in for all the tickets coming in are Martin, Victor, Jack Cyber and Penny. But they do let the friends of the princesses such as Doug and Nathaniel in for the backstage pass and stuff.

Because everyone is there to see one thing and one thing only, the girl band trio known as Lolirock.

Martin then uses his communicator. "Guys, we got tons of people coming in to the arena and they are all stoked for the band to get on stage. Might wanna tell the girls to get ready."

(Backstage.)

Luna is the one who answers the call. "Got it dude, I'll inform them now." She then heads to the dressing room and passes by Leon and Sergei who are going through the food that has been delivered.

Also there: Lincoln and Linka are checking on all the instruments along with Sam, they are going to have a special DJ coming to aid with their songs. Neil is dealing with a call from someone across the realms. Boomer is acting as security and Gwen is going through all the things that are needed and seeing if the stage is setup and ready.

Luna enters the dressing room and she sees Leni, Dana, Becky, Carol, Lori and Linka finishing off the three girls, Iris, Talia and Aurianna with their make-up and outfits. "You girls are literally going to be an even bigger lime light out there" said Lori.

"Sure feels great to be back on earth now!" Aurianna gets up and she hugs Talia who seems unamused by this.

Talia then chuckles. "Though I'd rather be back home and be with my family, it is pretty nice to be back on earth and back on stage. Just as long as we can focus on the task at hand." She then sees Luna. "So, how many people came?"

"A lot dudes, and they all wanna see you girls on stage and doing you're wicked cool thing" replied Luna. "Also, we're almost sold out and sooner or later, Nathaniel and Doug are gonna be here at backstage to see you girls perform, and our special DJ gal pal will also be here soon to back you girls up. This concert you gals have is gonna be pop-lock and rockin'!"

Then someone knocks on the door. "Hey girls, mind if I come in?" asked Neil.

"Doors unlocked dad and they are totes ready for the stage now" said Leni as she finishes with Iris along with the help from cute little Amaru. Dana and Becky also helped out.

Neil enters and he has a report clip board. "Good to see the Lolirock girls locked and loaded, you all ready for the outside and seeing the fans once more?"

Iris stands up and looks to Neil. "We are ready and what news from Gyro and Izira back at Ephedia?"

Neil then hands her the notes. "Gyro said that there are no signs of Gramorr, but they did see Banes carrying the broken mask of Gramorr and the Guardian was right, that evil feline fled from the planet and could be someplace else, my guesses he could be here, on earth."

This wasn't what the girls had expected, or the others.

"So, the bi mysterious cat of Gramorr is here, and he has the mask of Gramorr?" asked Aurianna.

"Half a mask" said Talia. "From what Izira heard, that Banes might be the real mastermind and Gramorr was nothing more than just a pawn in whatever schemes Banes had in mind."

"And if Banes is on this earth, then he must be looking for someone to don the mask of Gramorr and be his new minion" said Carol. "This is bad."

Iris then hands Neil back the clipboard. "Thank you for the information Neil, we can handle Banes and if we do need help then we know who to call for some backup. You guys did so much to aid us in retaking our homeworld and saving all the citizens, and my parents."

"You all kicked butt out there as an army and a team, the plan worked and Gramorr is no more!" said Aurianna as she hugs her Quilcat companion who is also cheering.

Talia chuckles. "We're also glad that the rulers of Ephedia have all been chosen to help represent in the Immortal Council you guys have, this means so much to us and to the people of this universe."

They all smiled from this. "No problem, we did what we had to and did our part to be there to aid in the fight" said Luna. "Also, Gyro wanted you girls to have this." Luna hands them a book with the symbol of a rainbow gem in the middle.

"What is this?" asked Iris.

"That is an ancient tome from Azeroth" said Neil. "But it was written by Gyro years ago after he left Ephedia. He has been studying new spells with the Ephedian crystals that he has underneath his tower and he wants you girls to learn from it."

"Banes is still out there and you girls could use all the new spells in order to take that big evil cat down" said Dana. "And we'll be all on standby should you girls need help."

"From what we heard from Gyro, he's trying to figure out where the heck did that shadowy Black Panther even came from" said Becky. "You girls know anything about him?"

They all shook their heads. "I never knew about the whole thing when I first came to earth 15 years ago" said Iris.

"We haven't even known about Banes until Gramorr came into Ephedia and we still don't know why he even talks to that cat at times" said Aurianna.

"No knowledge of that cat has ever been found, what about the Temple of Andrak? Did the Guardian or my sister check there?" asked Talia.

Neil then puts the clipboard away and sighs. "About that, well the whole place is nearly unsalvageable and almost reduced to rubble after you're clash with Gramorr. There's barely anything left."

Iris knows this is major concern, but she looks to all of them with a smile. "We can handle that issue when the time is right, for now we have to focus on what our lives are here now and to our visits back to Ephedia, I still have to show my parents more about earth and what they do."

"We still have a lot of friends here and we have the rest of the summer to spend it all" replied Talia.

Aurianna looks to the others. "And we can't wait to have our first other worldly concert at your home guys! Where are you all from again?"

They all respond. "Royal Woods, Michigan, USA."

"And it has its own fair share of unexpected troubles and battles" chuckled Neil. "And if you girls ever wanna come by and visit that doesn't involve a concert, then we left an allied outpost not too far from the town and it has its own Great Gate and the whole place has been placed inside a powerful Mana barrier, so Banes won't be able to go to our world and cause trouble."

Just then they hear the door knock, they can hear the voice of Boomer. "Hey girls, some two boys named Doug and Nathaniel are here to see you."

"We should get going then" said Iris. She and her two friends leave the changing room with the others and they interact with the two boys who are they're close friends.

Neil and the others watch as they enjoy talking to their friends. Lincoln and Jordan stand next to Neil. "Dad, Banes has been sighted not too far from the town and air support is in hot pursuit as we speak" said Lincoln.

"He must be looking for someone to take the crown" said Jordan. "And whoever gets caught by that cat and his claws is bound to serve him and his evil deeds" said Jordan.

Then Sam goes to them. "And I think I know who he might be after." Sam looks to Luna who is talking to the DJ who arrived, straight out of Canterlot High its DJ Pon-3!

Neil sighs. "Luna has a tremendous amount of power within her, the magic of both demonic and genetic powers of Cryokenises. We need to be cautious, that mask is bound with evil powers and if Banes gets Luna to wear it then who knows what will happen."

Lincoln didn't like the sound of this. "We won't let this happen dad, I will not let my sister be taken into evil. I will personally kill that evil Black Panther if I have to."

"And we'll be there to even the odds" said Leni. They were all standing form to face that wretched feline if he does come back.

They then see the Lolirock girls finish their talk with their friends and they head onstage and so does DJ Pon-3 and they begin their awesome performance with the song, Reach the Stars.

They all go near to watch and smile at this, this moment of their return to earth. They know that the girls can handle whatever evil plans Banes has in mind and that they will do it as a team. This world is secured, with its own heroes and an evil trying to make a big mark.

Then Becky recalls something. "Has anyone seen Hollow after the whole Ephedia fight?"

"Huh, no clue" replied Neil. "Where the hell did that sith bastard went off to anyway? And, I thought he was going to be part of the fight as well."

Lincoln also recalls. "Dad, was there any word on the whereabouts of Mephisto and Praxina?"

"Hmm, no clue. The troops of Ephedia and Gyro scouted the forests and found nothing, unless." Neil then realizes. "Holy shit. You guys don't think Hollow got to them?"

All of them felt a bit worried, they know Hollow might've been the one who finished them off, or he could've done something worse. Whatever the theory is, there is only one way to find out and that is through the Sith Lord himself, if he ever shows up or calls them.

(Jennerit Empire.)

The home planet of the Battleborn faction Jennerit and the Empire still rules it with its glorious might. An Imperial Transport makes it to the tower and coming out is none other than Sith Lord and Supreme Leader Hollow Cabal and behind him are his two new Lieutenants to his army, Mephisto and Praxina.

The twins then gaze at the massive city in front of them. "You rule this planet my lord?" asked Praxina.

Hollow stands by their side. "This world is under my control, as well as several other worlds that have been given to me under my orders and the orders of the Immortal Council. This world was once ruled by a ruthless tyrant named Lothar Rendain and his vile masters the Varelsi, but he is no more and the Varelsi are now few in numbers and are desperate the shroud this universe and all other realms in darkness."

"Whoa. Now that is one epic story, did you fight them my lord?" asked Mephisto.

"I did, I came to this world many years ago and brought with me the army they needed to save the last star and therefore we brought back all the stars and life returned to this darkened universe." They follow Hollow through the main gates and they run into Caldarius.

"My lord, Attikus has reported in with ten wounded Thrall's. The LLC came earlier while you were gone and they needed some muscle to aid them in a battle against the Varelsi on the snowy hellscape of Bliss. The Varelsi have been wiped out, but we have a few wounded" replied Caldarius.

"Thank you for the report Caldarius and I look forward to sparring with you tomorrow" replied Hollow. Caldarius then takes off and returns back to the arena.

Mephisto and Praxina were impressed by his troops and his most devout allies. "So, are there any other of those guys like that metal flying one?" asked Praxina.

"There are." They pass through the main halls and are escorted by some Death Troopers. "They are the Jennerit forces who sided with the Battleborn and fought to save the last star and they are also loyal to me."

They proceed down the halls and they see the large doors with the symbol of the Empire. "These are my quarters, come to me if you have any more questions about anything else or go around and ask someone else who would be glad to help you both."

The twins nod. "Yes my lord."

They then arrive to some large doors that were not too far from Hollow's Quarters. "Whoa. Who resides here?" asked Mephisto. The door had an odd symbol, it looked like the symbol of Praxina and Mephisto, only merged.

Praxina then realizes. "Is this …. Is this ours my lord?" Mephisto is also shocked.

Hollow removes his mask. "Place your hands onto the scanner to the right of the door."

Mephisto and Praxina place their hands onto the scanner and it scans their DNA, hand prints and finger prints. "Access Authority acquired. Welcome Lieutenants Mephisto and Praxina."

The twins were shocked by this. "Whoa."

The doors open and they see inside what the place looks like. There is a large window that is green and red and it looks onto the vast city of the whole planet, there is a living room with 2 L-shaped couches and two arm chairs and a large TV on the wall and there are two rooms that lead to the bedrooms for the two of them and each room has its own bathroom.

The walls are painted in their specific outfits color and five crystals are floating around the place, Dark Crystals. Mephisto and Praxina walk around and they gaze upon the room they have.

"Gramorr only let us stay in a dirty cave! This is amazing!" said Mephisto.

"This is …. This is so much, this is so much for just the two of us" said Praxina as she looks around.

Hollow smirks at how amazed in awe they are. "It took us a while to get the specific items needed for this place and getting these crystals in here were not easy, I did not know they could create distortion shocks onto anyone who could be a threat."

Praxina answers that one. "All Crystals in Ephedia can sometimes have their own defensive magical powers within them and may shock or stun anything they find a threat."

Mephisto nods. "She's not wrong, I got most of the shocks when I wasn't too careful and she just laughed at me." Praxina chuckles at the memory.

"Then you will both need this." Hollow hands them a black book and it has a red and black gem on it.

"What is this?" asked Praxina.

"The Guardian Gyro made this book long ago after he left Ephedia and he studied all he could about the crystals and made new spells, this one contains spells of Black Crystal Magic and he gave it to me because he had no use for it anymore since he has mastered the spells."

"And now I bestow this book onto the two of you. Use it wisely and learn the spells they contain, should you wish to learn how powerful they can be then head to the gran Jennerit arena and train there, not here or you might blow a hole onto the wall."

Mephisto and Praxina were happy for this, Gramorr has never let them get their hands to learn something new and all-powerful. The twins then bow to Lord Hollow.

"Thank you my Lord, we are humbly greatful for this and we are forever in your debt" said Mephisto.

"We are willing to do as you command and the roles you have given to us" replied Praxina.

Hollow's mask activates and he smirks. "Good, good. Now, rise my lieutenants."

Mephisto and Praxina stand up and look onto their master of great power. "You two shall be my most loyal and superior Lieutenants to my flag ship and will also be taking commands from the Commander and the General. I cannot be able to train you in the ways of the dark side of the force, but you two have great potential to be the most powerful dark crystal mages in all of the realms."

"You two shall aid in leading my armies through those who would dare bring ruin to the multiverse and all of our allies, we stand on the path to a brighter future and will do our best to defend what we stand for."

"Yes Lord Hollow" replied the twins.

Just then Deande comes in and hands Hollow a tablet. "My lord, reports from the alternate world of the Royal Defenders, these are from Commander Elizabeth Krennic." Then she hands him his phone. "Also, your girlfriend is calling you."

Hollow takes the tablet and looks to the twins. "At ease my Lieutenants, there will be no orders for today. I wish for you both to rest up and get used to the technology around you, also read the instructions I left on the table if you both would wish to know more."

"Yes sir, and thank you Lord Hollow" said the twins. Hollow then goes with Deande and they look to the reports and afterwards Hollow answers the call from Musa.

Mephisto and Praxina look out towards the window and at everything in front of them. "So, this is it" said Mephisto. "A new path and a new life for the both of us, and far from whatever stupid things Gramorr had us doing."

Praxina sight. "I can't believe I fell for Gramorr's words and thought he could rule with us by his side, and I nearly fell into the paws of Banes. I am so going to destroy that oversized cat when I find him!"

"Save some for me Prax, I wanna watch that thing perish too" chuckled Mephisto.

Then Praxina recalls. "Mephisto. Do you …. Do you recall what happened to me when I lost my memory?"

"Yeah, I do recall that one and you became good friends to those Princesses and enjoyed doling so man nice things for them, to be honest it was kinda sweet and at the same time kinda unnerving" replied Mephisto. "Why are you bringing this up anyway?"

"You think we can be friends with them?" asked Praxina.

Mephisto is shocked by what his twin sister is asking, but he understands why. "Well, we did have a few alliances with them back then, when we were kinda evil and trying to take down those two dorks who thought they could replace us. Maybe we can be friends with the Princesses."

Praxina sighs. "I just hope they can trust us to be even called friends."

Mephisto goes over and places a hand on his sisters' shoulder. "Come on Prax. We can be friends with them, it happened many times, back then. And from what we both know, is that Iris can be able to understand that we have changed. So don't give up just yet sis, we can be allies with them and along with those Royal Defender people, just as long as we can show them how much changed we truly are!"

Praxina smiles and feels confident about her twin brother's words. "Yeah, yeah you're right Mephisto. We are no longer the servants of that old fool Gramorr or that wretched pet Banes, we are Mephisto and Praxina and we stand for our master Lord Hollow Cabal, the Realms, the Immortal Council and to a new life of good and justice! We will prove ourselves who we are and trustworthy we can be!"

"That's what I'm talking about sis!" said Mephisto.

They both look to the window and smile, they're future is bright and they are looking forward to it.

Hollow stands between them and then looks o both twins. "You two done talking to yourselves as the third person? Because it's dinner time and the food is ready."

To be continued …..

A/N: Ephedia is at peace, though Banes is still on the run and is looking for a new minion to his evil cause, and Mephisto and Praxina are now joining the side of good and are hoping to make amends with the Princesses they once saw as their enemies. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
