Spells and Louds
Chapter 429: Auditions and Hexes.
(Spellman Estate.)
the normal day is beginning, or in this case normal as it goes as Phoenix fighters fly by and far from the town of Royal Woods are three Star gates, allowing Protoss aircraft to fly through, but they're modified for dimensional warp from the Koprulu sector to their earth, but I'm getting off topic here.
Neil comes down the stairs and is dressed in his head master attire and he gets out of the house and he sees all of his kid's prepping for school. "Hey kids, I'll be back home later, gotta go and deal with Ever After, bye." He then passes through the Great Gate.
"Well, there goes dad" replied Sunset. She then helps Lincoln tie down his acoustic and electric guitar to his Vulture Bike and Luna also helps out.
"You two little dudes stoked for today's auditions with your band?" asked Luna.
"We are" replied Lincoln and Linka. "Our band is locked and loaded and we have the band name already made out once we're part of the talent show for next week Friday" replied Lincoln.
"What's the name of your band again?" asked Leni as she and Michelle check if her car is doing fine.
"The Commander's three" replied Linka. "We decided to name ourselves that, even though Linc and I are commanders and Jordan is the major, it made sense. At first our plan was to band up with Liam and Tabby, but they had their own plan as a duet for their talent."
"And what songs are you guys gonna perform for the actual talent show?" asked Gwen as she comes out while holding Lily's hand. Lily goes over and hugs Linka and she hugs her baby sister.
"That is gonna be a surprise and let's just say we got the inspiration from the Koprulu sector and we're bound to rock and roll with it!" said Lincoln.
"But thanks to Sunset, in case we think about doing something else, then we'll stick to another song that she was planning to perform" replied Linka.
"Well, whatever works will be an awesome song and we know you guys are gonna ace it and be part of the talent show" replied Luna. "Speaking of which, still no word on if Sam's little bro will be part of the talent show."
"Odd, why would Sam and Peter expect him to be part of it?" asked Lincoln.
"Well, from what we heard from Sam. Simon is actually good with the guitar, and he's been good since he first went to school when he was 9 and learned from his dad and Sam" said Leni. "We'd like to hear him perform, but he's still kinda trying to get used to everything around him."
"We can't blame him, things have changed and the world is far from different after he was long gone from this world" said Lincoln. "But we're going to do our best to help him open up and also hang out with other kids more often."
"And also help him with his Stella situation" chuckled Linka. They all chuckle about this.
Timmy snickers. "Oh man, Simon still has this crush on Stella and hasn't talked to her yet?"
"He hasn't, but from what Sam told me, Stella might like him too" replied Luna. "But both are too nervous to even admit how they feel, and perhaps with the words from my babe, Simon can be able to talk to Stella."
"We'll try to help him out too" replied Lincoln. "Jordan and I know how relationships will start, and we'll also ask the others to help out as well."
They then spot a Void ray fly past their house. "So much change is coming and we're all learning to embrace it" said Leni. "What do you think is gonna happen with dad at Ever After high?"
"Well, from what we heard from Gyro, they both spoke to Principal Bump from Hexside and he's allowing four students from the school take part in an Ever After High Class and we all know which class it is" said Sunset.
They all know and reply at the same time. "Defense against the Dark Arts!"
"Let's hope the students will handle that class, we did see Luz pass it when she went toe-to-toe with her fears before Grom night" replied Linka. "Who are the other three part of the class?"
"Well, Luz Noceda is a good student who knows how to handle more than one spell from a coven, and then there's Amity Blight and her older twin sibs, Emira and Edric. They wanna take part in what Gyro can do and all four will be the first in Hexside to learn spells that could be far powerful than the normal spells at Hexside" replied Sunset.
"That depends if they don't cause any trouble when they get there" said Timmy. "What time do they head to the school?"
"Around last period, which all four of them have free time on Monday, Wednesday and Friday" said Sunset. "Which is the exact schedule for the whole class with the Guardian."
"A powerful and old being of magic and beyond understanding and founder of the Immortal Council and forger of the Multiverse Alliance who is also the Guardian of the realms and sole ally to the Royal Defenders is now the teacher at a school for Fairytales" replied Michelle.
"Kinda sounds like retirement" replied Gwen, this makes them chuckle. "Well, you kids should head on to school now."
They all hop onto their rides and they take off for the Grade school, Middle School and High School Gwen and Michelle with Lily wave goodbye to them. "So, when is Lily going to her own school? She is 3 after all" asked Michelle.
"When the time is right, Neil and I know when Lily can be part of school society and she is pretty smart." Gwen picks up Lily and boops her nose and then kisses her cheek making the three year old giggle.
Then Michelle realizes. "And what about next week?"
Gwen chuckles. "We know what to do and we'll make sure it's one that Luna will never forget, Neil made it possible with Madison Square Garden, so who knows what he has planned for her next week."
(Ever After High.)
Neil passes through the Great Gate and he sees that everything seems to be okay still, he then sees Apple and Ashlynn to go him. "Ms. White, Ms. Cinderella. Anything from you two?"
"Well, we did what we said we would do along with the help from our friends and we got the whole town to sign and they all agree!" said Ashlynn Ella with excitement.
"What?!" Neil is given the clipboard. "So, everyone has agreed and want to see some Pokemon here in Ever After? For reals?"
The two princesses nod. "They all have heard of what Pokemon are and how it would be nice to make friends with them, all thanks to the Mirror-net system, now we have full permission and signatures to let Pokemon come and reside here" replied Apple White.
"Sally Whitemane said it was okay, but we need the Guardian and you to see this through and speak to the main Pokemon god to allow Pokemon to live here" said Ashlynn Ella.
Neil chuckles. "Very well then, I'll have to see this through with Gyro and then to Arceus, we could really bring forth true equality not just in our world, but now to this world. This is a good start and you two along with your friends did a pretty good job, well done girls."
Apple smiles. "Thank you head master, we all look forward to seeing Pokemon living here and all of us making new friends!"
"I'll go and check in with this with the Guardian." Neil then heads to the school with the signed clipboard and he heads down the halls and looks for the guy to talk to, wherever he is. Neil then sees him, Gyro. "Hey! Guardian!"
Gyro closes the book and he goes to Neil. "I know what I'm doing with the class for later, and I will keep a close eye on Emira and Edric, and also to Luz and Amity. You have my word head master."
"That's not it, but I will be there for when the three of them take the rite of pass to deal with their worst fears. But I need to show you this." Neil hands Gyro the clipboard with the signatures.
"Ah. It appears we have the notification reports on the plan for Pokemon to live here, now all I need to do is show this to Arceus and he will be the one to allow the species of different Pokemon to reside in Ever After, that is if they wish to" replied Gyro.
"I'm sure they will be happy to be part of it, change is coming and not just the Protoss living in Royal Woods, but now this" replied Neil. "You think we should allow Faunus to reside in the world of Ever After as well?"
Gyro thinks about this. "Hmm, this does sound like a good idea, we'll have to discuss this further. But until then, we'll need to handle the Pokemon and the fact we're gonna have four witches coming here as well for classes."
"Let's keep an ever watchful over Emira and Edric, I am not planning to have them make pranks and mark a mess in this school" replied Neil. "They may be talented and skilled in magic and hexes and other witchcraft, but they need to at least take responsibility and not cause any form of trouble and madness."
Just then they hear glass breaking from Gyro's classroom window and some students panicking. They look out the window. "Oh no! The Choosey hat has escaped!" yelled Gyro.
Neil sighs. "Yup, the madness has begun."
(Royal Woods Middle School, performance auditorium.)
A lot of students are there to get ready to see if they can make the cut and be part of the big Middle School Talent show soon, they all seem nervous and many of them are the new kids to the school.
Let's see whose there and what they have planned: Lincoln, Linka and Jordan as the band the Three Commanders, Liam and Tabby are gonna do a duet together, Flat Tire ready to do some bike stunt he has prepared, Rusty and Richie with two other Faunus kids are gonna do a symphony with some classic instruments, We have Giggles and Zach looking forward to some comedy routine, Chloe, Emma and Sadie are gonna do a dance performance and the same goes for Kat and Trent and we all know everyone else is doing their own thing and there are too many background kids to go through, so you all get the idea.
Lincoln, Linka and Jordan then check on their instruments and they know what to do. Lincoln is on the electric, Jordan knows how to bass and Linka is on drums.
"Okay, so we got the songs and we got our motivation and skills locked, stocked and armed for this audition" said Lincoln. "Kinda feels like a testing ground for the front line."
"We'll have to start with some tunes that could impress our drama teacher, if she sees how good we are, then we can make it to the talent show" replied Jordan.
They then look around to the others who all feel nervous, and/or confidant. "We're all getting jitters, but we can make it and see how far our talents will take us" said Linka.
They then see their drama teacher. Mrs. Valerie Veers sitting amongst the seats and going through the names of the kids who are taking part in this. She has tan skin, orange hair with a red streak, in her late 20's. She's wearing a violet dress, velvet jacket, black belt and black heeled shoes.
"Okay, so I wanna see the clowning duo first" said Mrs. Veers. Zach and Giggles take a deep breathe and they both head on stage.
"This is it guys" said Kat. "Only some of us will make it and head on to the Middle School Talent Show."
"And then we see who can win it and make an awesome performance" said Trent.
"But this is to see how far we have with talent and also have fun with it" said Tabby.
"Next to the prize, it's also close to the ranks of whose on top with what they can do" replied Liam.
"Let the best group win it!" said Rusty and Richie.
Lincoln, Jordan and Linka smile seeing this. "We're all on edge and all feeling the thrill and confidence, time to see how awesome we all are."
They soon see Zach and Giggles Finnish their little performance and then they wait backstage for the final announcement, next Flat Tire was called out to show what he can do."
(Last period, Ever After high.)
Neil waits by the Great Gate and he checks his watch. 'Huh, they should've been here by now.' Then he sees a portal open. "Oh, finally."
Coming through the Great Gate: Luz Noceda, Amity Blight and Emira and Edric Blight and also with them is Edalyn Clawthorne, the Owl Lady. Oh, and she also brought King.
They look around and see the place, they can feel lots of magic everywhere and see dragons and students riding on them. "Wow! Hexside has nothing on this" said Amity.
"Oh yeah. We can definitely work with this place, and I like the dragons too" said Edric.
"I like they're outfits" said Emira. "Really suits them and the school look taller than Hexside, kinda like a castle. A really clean and lots of plants in the area kind of castle."
Eda chuckles. "Yup, this does look like an Ever After and boy this place sure can pack some magic. It's everywhere around here, what about you Luz?" She then looks to her student, "Luz?"
Luz looks to everything with stars in her eyes and her mouth agape. "Everything I have read from stories is all coming true, and now it's right here in front of me for the first time. This is the second coolest thing that has ever happened to me! Thank you dimensional physics and understanding."
"Greeting Ever After, the King of demons has arrived!" said King, but no one else was there but Neil.
"You guys do know classes are starting and everyone else is busy, and you know the drill right?" said Neil with his arms crossed as he looks to the little demon.
"Yeah, yeah. Keep King out of trouble and make sure he doesn't do anything that may have looked familiar when he went into the Hexside" replied Eda as she picks up King.
"He does one thing insane and less comfortable then I will put him in a timeout box" said Neil.
Then Luz asks. "Is the timeout box small and has cute railings?" Neil is freaked out by the way she wishes to see the cuteness. "Umm, yeah sure." Luz then giggles with excitement to see that one.
"Come on, the bell will ring soon and it will signify last period, and the Guardian waits you all within his class" replied Neil. They follow him and look around the place, Eda uses her magic to keep King at bay and stop him from going through the garbage cans.
"Come on! They got good stuff in there" said King as he Eda makes him float upside down.
They then enter the halls and see a few students walking around. Hunter Huntsman and Ashlynn Ella, Lizzie Hearts, the three Billy Goat kids, Hopper Croakington and Ginger Breadhouse.
"Huh, so everyone is in class" said Luz. "We know that this class has some advance dark magic stuff right?"
"Yes, yes we do. It's all in the pamphlet we gave you guys days ago" said Neil. "Didn't you all read it?"
Amity read it and so did Luz, Emira and Edric didn't read much and just looked to some of the classes, they didn't like the Princess stuff or the heroics training. Eda just used the pamphlet for starting the fire when Luz was done reading it.
They then go down the halls and look to everything they have, the lockers don't have mouths and the school bell isn't alive and there are so much pixies flying around and tons of magic lingering in the area.
They then make it to the classroom with the sign. "Defense against the Dark Arts – Professor. Gyro McKenzie."
Neil looks to them. "You guys ready for this thing?" They all nod, even Eda sighs and gives him a thumbs up, she just came here to make sure Luz doesn't get into trouble that could hurt her. "Then let's get to it."
Neil opens the door and they see all the seats and chairs have been moved to the sides and the whole place is large and has tons of books, this shocks Amity. Each book is a different category of magic and incantations, there's even some books on glyphs from around the realms.
"This kinda looks like a library now" said Eda.
"Welcome everyone" said Gyro as he breaks from stealth, and standing by his side are his pupils of the class. Raven Queen, Sabrina Spellman, Madeline Hatter, Faybelle Thorne, Vicky Broomstick, Arkayna Godfrey, Zarya Moonwolf and Farrah Goodfairy.
"Welcome to Defense against the Dark Arts, and welcome to you as well Edalyn."
"Likewise." She then looks to the some of the portraits on the walls. One is Medivh, one is Gyro and then there are the portraits of other spell casters, including herself and Principal Bump. "Okay, so what's with me and Bumpy's pic here?"
Gyro walks towards them. "I keep pictures of those who I have seen and dub as powerful in magic here to prove how great they are and you and Bump are one of them. Now, we all know that Luz is an official student to this class."
"Now we need to see if Amity, Emira and Edric and can be able to make the cut and be part of this class, remember that you're not going to be students to the school, just to this class. Am I clear?"
All three of them nod. "Good, now Luz and Eda, and also King. Step to the side and let these three dave their worst fears" said Gyro, he then brings the closet with the Boggart inside close to him.
Eda and Luz with King back off and watch this happen. "Well, this should be entertaining" chuckled Eda.
"Careful guys, and don't forget to think of something funny!" said Luz.
"She's not wrong" replied Faybelle. They all sit back and watch as this happens and so does Neil who then hands them some buckets of popcorn.
Emira and Edric take the front of the line, they don't want Amity to go first because they care for her, even though they do mess with her. Amity is happy they're caring, but she fears that they'll break down from what they fear the most. "We are so ready for this!"
Gyro smirks. "We shall see." He backs away and the chains to the closet drop and then the Bogart comes out as a large figure that literally makes the color drain from the Blight twins.
Neil and Gyro are confused. "Huh, I thought Edric's fear was being alone forever and Emira's fear was being stuck with Edric forever?" asked Neil.
"I guess this is their worst fear, their parents at their most hideous an dangerous" replied Gyro. "Let's see how ridikulus they can make this happen."
(Royal Woods Middle School, after classes.)
All the students walk out of the school and many of them are feeling happy, they were able to make the cut and are inbound for the Royal Woods Middle School Talent show.
Among them are Lincoln, Linka and Jordan also known as the band the 3 Commanders. They made the cut, after making a performance with the soundtrack of Digimon Adventures.
"The others are so going to be excited about this!" said Jordan. "We made it! We made it! We made it!" She then hugs Lincoln and Linka.
Linka chuckles. "Easy there Rosato, we may have made the cut, but we still have to show what we can do. This isn't over yet girl."
"Linka's right" said Lincoln, he then kisses Jordan's cheek. "Now we have to pick out which song we need to perform for the actual talent show." Lincoln then pulls out his notebook and they see the two songs to pick from. "Terran up the Night" or "Put me back together."
"I guess we'll have to discuss this further, I wonder how dad is doing with the four new students to Gyro's class today" said Linka. They head to their rides and head on home, they have much to tell their families and much to know what has happened at Ever After High.
To be continued…..
A/N: Looks like Luz and the others are doing well with their first win in the new class. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Date made: 8/23/20 – 8/24/20.
