Spells and Louds
Chapter 414: Second Chances to life and living.
(September 1. The Royal Fortress.)
The Great Gate opens and coming out are the Spellman's and the rest of the Royal Defenders. They see that they're nearing the Great Barrier Reef, and from their point of view they see a Sea Emperor breaching out of the water.
"Whoa! That guy was as big as a Chinese fishing boat" said Linka. "Looks like the Sea Emperors are growing up fast here."
"And that's a good thing for everyone." Gyro comes down in his raven form and turns back to his human form and with him is Pyrrha. "So, we're all here and ready to see what the hell is going on?"
"We are and we're also looking forward to the coronation of Twilight Sparkle on Sunday, as the Princess of Equestria!" said Sunset Shimmer. "And she came a long way, from when she was the student of Princess Celestia, and meeting me and the human versions of her friends. Things are really changing fast and I like it."
"Well, we should get into the FutureTech base and see what the heck is going on" said Jordan.
They all head downstairs into the base and then through the halls and then they see GLADIS coming out from the ceiling. "GLADIS. Looks like you're back up and running again" said Gwen.
"Thank you Gwen, they did some scans and ran some diagnostics and as it turns out, I needed a replacement with my personal coolant and thanks to some Terran tech by Engineer Swann, I was able to have myself a self-sustaining cooling system, so I won't need a replacement, but they will keep tabs on me when I feel like something is wrong with my systems."
"Amongst all the advanced tech onboard this place, you seem to be the far most complicated of them all" said Becky. "That is a total shocker that Martin has a hard time trying to keep you maintained."
"Well, I was built by W.O.O.H.P, and they made me into something with many parts and extra add-ons, but the many configurations have altered me multiple times and I am what Victor calls "A Vulture Bike beyond any Vulture Bike" and I am okay with the words from him, it makes me feel as special as Jack Cyber."
Lincoln chuckles. "He's not wrong, it was hard to make the Vulture bike that dad and I worked on last year. Boy, did those bring back so many awesome memories."
Neil chuckles. "Memories of us making something damn right awesome!"
"Martin, Victor, Jack Cyber, Penny and Hollow are waiting for all of you along with the entire Sharp family, and an archangel and someone who I am not familiar with."
This confuses them. "Thanks GLADIS. We'll get right on it" replied Lori.
"What the heck?" said Luna. "Sam and her family are here? How come my babe didn't tell me they were gonna be here before us. Better yet, why didn't she call me this morning or even answer my texts?"
"Whatever it is, the answers we seek are with them" replied Leni. They all make their way through the halls and soon they make it to the main meeting room.
They see Martin, Victor, Tadashi, Penny, Jack Cyber and Hollow. They also see Peter, Ember, the Dazzles, Aggie, Kick, Sam and their Pokemon. They all seemed happy for them to be here, but Martin and the others are confused.
"Alright nerds, what the hell is this meeting about?" asked Sergei.
"We're trying to figure that out as well" said Tadashi. "We were head in here, and then the Sharps were already onboard and they looked like they were excited to show us something."
"They didn't tell us yet, and wanted everyone to see what they have surprised for us" replied Penny.
Neil looks to Peter. "What's this all about hot head? What the heck is going on?"
Peter gets up. "We called this meeting into order, we have found some unexpected information yesterday after the whole incident in Equestria and an unexpected guest came to our doorsteps and blew our minds away."
This was making them confused. Hollow then senses something and removes his mask. "There is another presence in here, I can feel him and he feels nervous, but I am clouded from his actual point of view. Who is it?"
Sam looks to her dad and Ember, and they both nod. Sam smiles with excitement and goes to another room. She then walks out. "Guys, say hello to someone special."
They then see the 1 year old kid with blonde hair and wearing a green shirt with a white skull logo, light green jacket, blue knee ripped jeans and black sneakers with the Autobot logo on it. "Hello everyone, so nice to meet you all in person."
Luna covers her mouth in shock and so do some of the others who know who he is. Linka then faints from his sudden appearance and Neil goes wide eyed. "What in the name of the fiery pits of the shadows of the burning throne on Argus is this?!"
Peter chuckles. "Nice words, someone try saying that shit ten times!"
They all couldn't believe it, even Hollow is shocked by this. "Holy Sith!"
Boomer comes in late. "Hey guys, sorry for being late. Had to bring back some pizza, drinks and hotdogs and the awesome part, these are bacon wrapped hotdogs!" He then places them onto the meeting table and looks to all of them.
"What the hell is wrong with all of you?" Boomer then sees the blonde-haired kid. "Oh, who's the kid? Also, why the hell does he look kinda familiar?"
"Guys, this is Simon Sharp" replied Ember. "The so said Deceased brother to Sam Sharp and the son to Peter Sharp, the one who died in 2016 and is now back with all of us."
They all are still stunned, and Boomer then looks confused. "Okay." So he shoots himself in the foot. "Okay, so that hurt and this is not a dream. What the holy hell of a life cycle is going on?!"
Gyro goes to them. "This … This is not possible. How the hell is he here? He's supposed to be dead!"
"This is so confusing right now and I am getting so many mixed feelings" said Carol.
"What in the heck?! This has got to be a joke right? Right?" asked Leon in confusion.
Hollow just remains silent and feels something else in the room with them. Then Neil looks to Peter. "What sick twisted deal did you do to make this happen?!"
"No deal, just someone who came to our doorstep after dinner dude" replied Peter.
Luna looks to Sam. "Sam, what the heck is going on? Why is your little bro, Simon here with us in the world of the living?"
"I shall be the one to answer that one." They all see the Archangel of Valor, Imperius come out from the shadows next to Hollow. "Greetings once again Royal Defenders. I am sorry for this unexpected news for all of you."
They were all confused by this, but Hollow only says one thing. "Nice job sneaking out of the shadows like that. I didn't even knew you were there next to me, very impressive."
"Okay, so can someone tell us why the heck is Sam's little brother here back from beyond the tombstone?" said Luan. "Because we're all in grave excitement to know more before we shovel our way out of here." They all groan from that pun.
Simon sighs. "Yup, just like what Sam said about you. Most of your puns aren't really that funny."
Gyro goes to Imperius. "Archangel Imperius, what have you done?"
"Before you defy me of breaking the laws of life and death, know this. Agatha Prenderghast was also removed from her state of death. Why did she come back? Tell me Guardian?"
Gyro then recalls. "Her sands of time stopped, when she was hanged by those bastard court morons her sands of time stopped processing downwards, because her time was cut short from the world and it was not meant to be for her to be deceased. But after the events of the town being sieged by the ghost of the witch, the very fabric of that timeline shifted and therefore after she was defeated she was sent here into our world."
"So, what you're saying is. Simon's sands of time also ceased when he died as well?" asked Pyrrha.
Imperius nods. "Indeed, I was sent here by the Immortal Faiths of Creation and of the realms, the very same ones that Gyro interacts with tasks and all-knowing information about any future outcomes. They sent me into this world, the same day Simon was born to go to the heavens and speak with the Father almighty the creator of Heaven and Earth."
Boomer then continued. "The Father of Jesus Christ, his son!" Then Leon hits him in the back of the head.
"Stop continuing the process of the bible you dimwit!"
This information shocks the Sharp family. "So, Simon wasn't supposed to die?" asked Sam.
"His death was not meant to happen" replied Imperius. "His death from 2016 was a misfortune and a fate he was not meant to come in contact with. Simon Sharp was meant to continue with his life, and yet a series of unfortunate events came down onto him and he was sent to an early grave. This boy has been living in time freeze with his age as he wandered through the heavens, living his life there at the age to what you all see now."
Sam then recalls. "Simon was 12 when he …. When he."
"When I died" replied Simon. "Yeah, I know and remember that one and it's always painful to recall that horrible event too." Sam goes over and she hugs Simon and he hugs her back.
Victor then thinks. "So if Simon was born on 2005 and he died on 2016 at the age of 12, and the year right now is 2020. So, he should be 16 by now and Sam would be 17 this year when it's November."
"Yeah, that kinda makes so much sense, and it was one of the worst moments in my life to have to go through all that mourning years ago" replied Peter in annoyance.
"So, Simon is the same age as Linc, Linka and myself" replied Jordan as she and Lincoln try and get Linka to wake up again. "This is so confusing and still a total stunner to all of us."
Gyro looks to Imperius. "Okay, so the boy is alive now and living with his family. What else is the reason as to why the Faiths gave you this task?"
"Because his destiny has yet to even continue, it was halted when he died, but with this return his path to a brighter and better future can continue and is also going to be part of whatever conflict is there to come, soon."
This was something they didn't expect either. "Wow I just got a major headache from all of that." Tadashi sits on the chair.
"Then why didn't the faiths tell the Guardian about this?" asked Pyrrha.
"The Faiths knew that Gyro would have many things on his mind and wished not to disturb him while he continued on the path to aid the Royal Defenders, and so they chose me to be the one to take the task and bring the boy back home, to where he truly belongs."
They all look to each other and then to Gyro who thinks about this. "Yeah, I guess I can work with that. This pretty much makes sense to me now and I think Simon should be allowed to live. I just can't believe you reasoned with the big man high above the world of the living."
Imperius chuckles. "That task was not easy, I had to stand my ground whenever he spoke with his almighty voice and I was confronted by ten of his most ardent and devoted angels. I then told him of what the Faiths have decided and so he granted Simon his path back home."
Then Peter looks to the Archangel. "What about her?" They all know who he means.
"Dad." They look to Simon. "M-Mom said her time was already due, she told me that she saw her whole life flash before her, but when I died I didn't see my life flash before my eyes. Which means that her time was up and her sands of time have also run out, I didn't wanna leave at first, but she told me that I have a new path and a chance to be with my father and sister, she'll always be looking out for us, always."
Peter and Sam feel heartbroken, but they now understand this. They both go over to Simon and hug him. All three original Sharps shed some tears knowing that this is the start of rebuilding what they have once lost, years ago.
Soon, Ember and the others also join in this family group hug. The rest of the Royal Defenders look to each other and smile. Lincoln walks up to them. "Simon." They depart from the hug and Simon goes to the Commander of the Aegis. Lincoln holds out his hand to him. "Welcome back, Sharp. Welcome back!"
Simon smiles and shakes his hand. "Good to back Spellman, and I look forward to being your friend when we get to middle school."
This shocks Lincoln, Jordan and Linka who just woke up. "What?"
"I got Simon enrolled last night to the Royal Woods Middle School" replied Peter. "The hard part, was reasoning with Principal Ramirez about the whole story and how it came to be. Imperius came with me to talk to the Principal."
This shocks them. "Wow. So, I guess we'll meet at Middle School" said Jordan. "The guys and gals are not going to believe this!"
They all go over and interact with Simon. Gyro looks to Imperius who is walking away. "Imperius." The Archangel turns around and looks to the Guardian. "You're siblings would be proud at what you've done. Well done old friend."
Imperius nods. "You should one day tell them about the creature that you also brought back and kept hidden within the dungeons of Karazhan soon, till we meet again Guardian, Gyro." Imperius then opens a portal and returns back to the High Heavens, in the Realm of Sanctuary.
Gyro then looks back to the others, all of them were happy for the return of Simon and they know things are gonna be different once again. Then Gyro thinks. 'When the time comes, then I will tell them of what lies alive and well within the dungeons of Karazhan.'
(Skip, Nighttime at the Sharp House.)
Simon had just finished taking a bath and he's now in his pajamas and he leaves the bathroom and enters his room. He smiles and sees the other bed at the other side of the room is where Kick sleeps, Kick isn't there because he has a sleep over with Gunther and so he was kinda happy to have a room with a roommate, if he was there right now.
"Hey bro." Simon sees his big sister Sam at the doorway. "You doing okay here?"
Simon chuckles and sits onto his bed. "I am, sure is nice to have brother whose the exact age as me and also my roommate who also likes to skateboard."
Sam sits next to him and hugs him. "When the day comes little brother, you and me are gonna have an awesome time bonding, little bro and big sis."
Simon smiles and hugs Sam. "Me too, though we will be busy at some point. We have classes soon, and tomorrow is Aggie's birthday, kinda weird to have a sister whose gonna be the same age as me when she hits it tomorrow. But, we can have some big sis and little bro bonding time next time."
Sam smiles. "Yeah, me too bro. And hey, maybe next time we can spend some time Luna and Lincoln too. They're big sis and little bro as well, and like us, we share a bond as well."
I'd like that Sam, I'd like that a lot." Simon continues to hug his big sister, and then Sam kisses his forehead. "I love you so much Sam."
Sam smiles and continues to hug him. "I love you too little brother, always."
What they don't know, is that Peter and Ember see this and they smile. They then leave the two of them be and head off to bed, tomorrow will be the day Ember's kid becomes 12, and she will be going to Middle School with Simon, Lincoln, Jordan and Linka. This is the start of a new life for everyone.
Sam and Simon then depart from the hug. "So, how about I stay here and keep you company. Since you don't have a roommate in here" said Sam.
"I'm okay with that sis, we haven't done that in a long, long time and the last time we did it was back when we lived in the farm house and I can't wait to see what my life has in store with me living in a town, the town of Royal Woods."
"You can handle it little bro, you're gonna have so many new pals and maybe, even a gal in your life" chuckled Sam.
Simon turns red. "Come on sis, enough of that. I don't even know if there's any gal out there who'd even wanna go out with a kid like me, they'd have to understand everything about me and what happened to the life I once had."
"And I know that you'll find that gal little bro, now come on. Let's get some shut eye. Tomorrow, we got the first birthday of Aggie to celebrate here in our world" said Sam.
Simon nods and they get into the bed and Sam tucks her brother and herself in. They then close their eyes, but Simon goes over and hugs Sam. "Goodnight sis, see you in the morning and I love you Sam."
Sam smiles and she hugs him back, she kisses his forehead and they close they're eyes. But Sam whispers to him. "Goodnight bro, I'll be always happy to see you in the morning. Sammy loves you to bro, always."
(Karazhan.)
Gyro uses his magic to finish off a rejuvenation, light ward and healing ward spell in the dungeon room.
Then Gyro walks by the stockpiles of gold, treasures and rare gems underneath the tower of the Guardians, he then places his hand onto the scaly wall and walks as he lets his hand trail and the wall groans from this touch like a pet.
Gyro sighs and ducks down from the injured wing of the beast. He then stops and he reaches the head and sees the eyes half-open and looking to him. "Sleep well tonight, and get better soon big guy."
The large red dragon closes his eyes and groans as he tries to rest, his entire body riddled with magic to heal him.
Gyro heads to the main gate of the dungeon and he looks back. "When the time comes, then I will let you fly with me into battle and you can prove that you are not a monster anymore, Smaug."
Gyro then closes the door and lets the Powerful Dragon of the Lonely Mountain rest and heal from his wounds when he was defeated at the lake town, years ago from a dimension where the one ring, ruled them all!
To be continued …..
A/N: Welcome back Simon, and we hope he can be able to make a big change to the world and to the Royal Defenders, and it seems Gyro has been hiding someone ancient, old and powerful. Also, get ready to say Happy 12th Birthday to a certain little witch from the Sharp family for tomorrow. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Date made: 8/6/20.
