Spells and Louds.
Chapter 550: The girl who fought the witch.
( Spellman Estate.)
Coraline opens her eyes and looks around, she sees her surroundings and notices this was not her room, not the one from Pontiac, Michigan and not the one from Ashland, Oregon.
Coraline then recalls why she's there and she looks to the picture of her mom and dad and herself back then and she sits up and sheds some tears. ' Mom, dad. I'm so sorry.'
She fails to notice her roommate going over and sitting next to her, her roommate is Sunset Shimmer. "Hey, sis. Are you feeling okay?"
Coraline wipes away her tears. "Y-Yeah, I am. I guess. Sorry sis, it's just so hard to deal with, with what's happened. I lost my….. My parents and my, home too. Now I'm here and I know I agreed to be part of this family, because I need some folks who understand me, but I have so much hurt inside."
Sunset does her best to comfort the crying girl, who is her newly adopted sister. "Easy there Coraline, easy. We know what it's like to lose someone, or lose so much and I know from experience, even though I caused it through my arrogance and issues."
"We all have been down that road of feeling afraid and feeling like we're to blame for what we went through, but we have each other because we know what it's like and we're all going to be there to back each other up and support each other from any more personal issues we have within."
"Be open to us and spend some time with the rest of the family, you lost so much sure. But at least you…. We, ended the nightmare that could've gotten worse, not just for you, but for all kids who would've been her victims."
"And that kinda makes you a hero, like how we went through."
Coraline then calms down and looks to her. "Thanks, I needed that talk, and I hope that I can move on from this. This is so hard to deal with."
Sunset hugs her. "Then we'll be there to help you." Coraline sheds more tears and hugs her back. She felt safe, in the arms of those who understand her and wanna be there to show her that she's not alone.
Sylveon goes over and also joins this snuggle time and comfort.
They soon break the hug. "You feeling better, sis?"
Coraline nods. "I am, and I think we should both get ready for today." They both get up and walk towards the bathroom they share.
Coraline has been through so much, even before she fought the dreaded Beldam and after the whole Beldam battle and now this, she is no longer Coraline Jones, she is now Coraline Spellman.
After the loss of her home and family, and her life. She accepted to be part of a family, and she heard about what these heroes have been through and how they have each other to support and fight for.
Coraline wants to do this to ensure she has a reason to live and a good family to enjoy and spend some time, she knows Mel and Charlie Jones would be proud of her choice. She is also looking forward to the funeral of her mom and dad, on the following day.
She has no other relatives, Coraline's mom and dad were only children and I guess so is she. No older relatives and no cousins or uncles and others, just Coraline and her mom Mel and father Charlie. She'' have to say goodbye to them, soon.
Even though she might not see the Pink Palace anymore, that doesn't mean she can't go and visit her weird friend, Wybie Lovat, and his grandma. But she can't say much about the rest of the folks she called her neighbors.
Ms. Spinks and Ms. Forcible have moved someplace else, which is far from the town, and at a place from an old pal of theirs and she might not see them ever again, chances they won't have much time left, but she is going to miss the former burlesque performers and their nice terrier dogs.
Now, Coraline does have some pets with her, mice. The jumping mice from Mr. Bobinsky, the loss of the blue skinned Russian was something hard to take in, he was a good friend despite his eccentric nature, he was a good pal and person to talk to and to get to know his stories of what he did from his old times, like when he helped clean up Chernobyl.
She doesn't know when she will be there for the day she has to watch the man's funeral, but she swore she'll take care and keep an eye on all of his jumping mice and she did a count and she found out there are more than 20 of these little guys and none of them have names. But she'll think of something.
They are well trained and are not troublesome, they are quite small and can be helpful, and even though she is worried about the Spellman pets with the mice, the resident cat and her young won't attack the jumping mice and see them as a means to improve their hunting skills, but they won't eat them.
At least there is one upside to this new life, she doesn't have to go to a school that wears uniforms.
( Later.)
Coraline walks down the stairs with her older sister Sunset and they arrive to the dining room and she sees the rest of the family and they all smile seeing her. "Morning Coraline."
Gwen goes over and she hugs Coraline and the girl hugs her too. "Good morning, mom."
"And a good morning to you as well, dear." Gwen then departs from the hug. "How are you feeling?"
Coraline chuckles. "Better than last time and I know it's gonna be hard for me to get used to living here, but I'll do the best I can and see how I can live up to this awesome new life, with you guys as my family."
"Atta girl, I know you can manage living here in Royal Woods, Michigan" replied Gwen.
Neil goes over to her. "If you need some company, then we can be there to help you when you need it the most, we got your back, all of us."
Coraline looks to the others who all go over to keep her comforted and tell her that she's not alone and this makes her smile. "Thanks guys, I think I'm gonna like it here."
They all go over to the breakfast table and Coraline sees the waffles and looks to the ground and sees, Washington, Victoria and their young, Courage and of course the 20 jumping mice along with the Pokèmon eating their food.
Coraline smiles. "Glad they're all getting along."
"Those mice are quite helpful" said Michelle. "I woke up to help make the breakfast with Neil and Courage and then these guys show up and help, how well-trained are they?"
Coraline smirks. "They're circus mice, they have been well-trained and I am going to continue in helping train them some more."
Timmy chuckles. "You gonna start up a jumping mice circus, sis?"
Coraline chuckles. "Nope, that is a dream from someone long ago. I wanna just keep an eye on them and make sure they're doing fine. Just as long as they're okay, then I know Mr. B would be happy at how far his mice are doing."
"Glad to hear that, little dude" said Luna. "You're as brave and loyal as we are with each other, and we'll also be there to help keep an eye on the little jumping mice, dudes."
"There is another thing to handle, a Pokèmon for you" said Linka.
Coraline thinks about this and looks to the other Pokèmon. "As much good that would be and also awesome, I need some time to think about it though. In the meantime, I'm gonna just stick with the mice and the rest of these little rascals."
"Whatever works Coraline, we'll give you the time you need to think and it's your choice" said Lincoln.
Coraline then looks to his mom and dad. "So, when do I meet the rest of the family? And I don't mean the uncles, I met them last time."
"Soon, possibly after school" replied Gwen. "My mom and brother, alongside Neil's mom and sister and then there's my uncle Stone Cold Steve Austin and also my cousin, they'll be there to keep you safe and feel welcome."
"You are a Spellman Coraline, and we look after each other, no matter how far away we are" said Neil. "Just like how we have each other's backs as the Royal Defenders, and perhaps you might have that future too."
Coraline is shocked. "Really?"
"Coraline, you took down a giant house monster witch and also fought and beat the Beldam before. You pretty much have the courage and cunning tenacity to be called a hero" said Leni.
"But the choice is yours, not ours" replied Sunset.
Coraline goes through what they said. "Let me think about this, I still have a lot to do on my mind and a big new world to discover."
Neil chuckles. "Always the adventurous type aren't ya, well, okay then."
They all continue to eat their breakfast, Coraline looks to all of them and smiles. She's glad she did met them and became part of their family, but deep down she's still troubled about what happened to her family and how it all went down hard real fast.
But she knows they'll be watching over her, as she explores this brand new life and whatever future awaits her.
( Outland.)
Welcome to Outland, which was once the homeworld of the orcs and Draenei, known as Draenor and standing near the former citadel of Prince Kael'Thas is the citadel of Shang Tsung, which kinda looks like his old temple from back in the world he came from.
The whole place is guarded by Demons and Infernals and Gyro is walking alongside the sorcerer. "So, what happened after I left you to seek out the remnants of the Beldam?"
"It is not an easy thing to tell you, but I managed to claim less than 10 fragments of the Beldam's magic, and these fragments had the remains of her tainted soul" said Shang Tsung. "Now her darkness is sealed away in my soul chamber, and no I will not consume her soul, it is far too long corrupted and would turn me into….. Well, her."
"The Beldam is a stain from the cosmos and I am glad she is gone, but it pains me that Coraline had lost her parents from that outcome" said Gyro.
"And that man who helped us try to kill the Beldam, even though what he did was nearly for nothing" replied Shang Tsung. "At least the Beldam has been dealt with and will no longer threaten the cosmos."
"And her other world?" asked Gyro.
"I was able to make a key, similar to the one that the Beldam was obsessed over and so I used it and went to her world" replied Shang Tsung. "That place is nothing, there is nothing left to claim in that shattered world she called home."
"When the Beldam perished as a house, the magic she had was gone and so the other world she made is nothing more than a white realm with no source of land. Just zero gravity and other objects she made floating everywhere. I even found her dreaded other creations."
Gyro sighs. "Just as long as she does not come back and all she has made is a perished lost cause, I already informed the Xel'Naga and they are pleased and they wish to meet with you, in person."
Shang Tsung looks towards Gyro. "Me? The great creators of the realms, they want to see me?"
Gyro nods. "Indeed, you have helped us through some issues with realms and their troubles. Not much in help, but enough to truly show you are no vile scheming heathen."
"I told you and the others, my dark days are done and I wish to become the man I truly was meant to be, the one that was supposed to exist should Kronika have not gotten involved" said Shang Tsung. He then thinks about this. "As much as a good idea it is for me to see them, I am afraid I cannot see the Xel'Naga."
Gyro is confused and follow the sorcerer. "How come? What's wrong?"
"Nothing at all, but I don't think I am ready to meet the beings you serve and the ones who have helped keep all realms safe. I am beneath them and have done wrong, and my path to fix what I have done is still ongoing and I must accomplish that task" replied Shang Tsung.
Gyro nods. "Very well then, I shall tell them what you said and I am sure they will understand. But, before I go, I wanna see if I can been you in Mahjong."
Shang Tsung chuckles. "Are ou ready to lose, old man?"
Gyro scoffs. "Old man? Old man? Look who's talking!"
To be continued…..
A/N: Welcome to the life of a new world and as a Spellman, Coraline. At least the Beldam is gone and she can try and live her life, as her parents would want her too and I would like to thank " Brenthenewfan2020" for supporting me in this chapter. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
I'll say this again, I am a big fan of the old man version of Shang Tsung from " Mortal Kombat" he is damn awesome and cool!
