It's a desperate struggle to the end. Will our heroes succeed in stopping this interruption!?
As Ditto held up the wish, Brooklyn took charge and ran forward with his fists burning with energy. The not-Elsa used ice to freeze the gargoyle in his tracks, then did the same for the rest of Gabriel's team while slowly sending ice out into the stands as well. "You know, if Elsa were to turn evil, there's practically no way to stop her," Ditto said. "Unfortuntely, I can only use the powers of people while in their form, but that won't be a problem anymore. Wishing Star, I wish to have all the power that I want!"
"No!" Gabriel shouted, holding out a hand as the star glowed. Ditto laughed, his form squashing and stretching to reveal his true form.
"Yes, I can feel the power! No need to be others, I can rule the Magical World with my own power!" Ditto shouted. As his form solidified, Ditto was revealed to be the same species as the Shape Shifter from Gravity Falls, but with a black bandana on his head.
"Talk about ugly," Lena said from her prison.
"Now, I can use all the powers I've copied!" Ditto exclaimed. He kept sending out ice to freeze people, while one arm became charged with electricity and the other was coated in flames.
"Wait, were did the fire power come from?" Jasiri questioned.
"That was me!" Berry called, arriving on the scene with Adam and Elsa. "We just escaped thanks to Deadpool sensing me being in danger through the Fourth Wall. He must be getting the fire from my ability to pull stuff out of hammer space, somehow. But we're here to help now!"
Berry was cut off by being frozen in ice, along with Adam and Elsa. "You know, we should have seen this coming," Adam sighed. "According to my specs, Ditto is growing so powerful that his dream will become reality sooner rather than later."
"Hey Gabriel?" Silver called. "I know you're the Dream Keeper and all, but I think this is one dream you can't let come true."
"Soon, I'll take over this world, then use my powers to take over the real world as well!" Ditto taunted.
"But our powers don't work in the real world," Logan pointed out.
"Irrelevant to a person about to become a god!" Ditto said. He used his powers to aim a large beam at Gabriel. "But first, say goodbye, Dream Keeper! Once you fall, all your friends will go with you!"
"GABRIEL!" everyone shouted as the beam fired.
The raven closed his eyes, bracing for the worst, when his amulet started to glow again. When he didn't feel a lot of pain, Gabriel looked to see that a shield had formed around him, with music humming from his necklace. Holding it in his left hand, Gabriel let the music flow through him. "Everyone, I know what to do," he called. "We all have to stand against Ditto and make our wish overpower his!"

Gabriel hummed with his eyes closed, letting his powers reach out farther than they ever had before, his shield was starting to crack, but the raven continued his song, letting it touch the hearts of everyone he considered his friend or ally. Once the shield broke, Ditto's beam suddenly stopped as the power of Fantasia started to distort the world around everyone. Gabriel held up a hand, sending power to Silver and manifesting a piano for the boy to play. Soon Logan got a guitar, Adam drums, and Rachel a bass guitar, along with the other contestants getting some form of instrument as well. With the music set, the ground began to shake with musical power, Gabriel putting on his headphones as he conducted the magic particles that started to fill the air as he sang out.
Gabriel:
Enclosed between the dark and light
The night, is brighter than daybreak
High tension giving me a scare
The air, is frozen in place
As he walked through the frozen stadium, Gabriel held out his hands to Jasiri and Kairi, his magic reaching their frozen tombs and breaking them out. Jasiri gave Gabriel as kiss on the cheek as she joined in the song.
Gabriel & Jasiri:
With all of those I knew
Who would say "just follow suit?"
A boring day is "The way of life"
Choose a lane and stay like ice formed up in a tray
Ditto turned to his electric mode and started to blast at the three of them, but Kairi and Gabriel both put up a reflect, sending the attack back at the Shape Shifter as they song together.
Gabriel & Kairi:
The thought of being here and freezing there is making me sick
A daily feed of complacency as more hours tick
My mind is racing and they're chasing but my heart is too quick
(It's beating rampant, so the boredom doesn't stick)
With a boost of power from Gabriel, Jasiri summoned all her magic into one attack, creating an army of spectral animals to surround Ditto on all sides.
Gabriel & Jasiri:
Glaciers full of worries your mind creates
Can be melted fast by the moves you make
(Oh oh oh oh)
You grow with every step you take
Kairi was next, activating her Limit Break and flying over all of Ditto's attacks, sending down magic beams of light to attack him.
Gabriel & Kairi:
Don't be battered down by the common choice
Cause the one that matters now is within your voice
(Oh oh oh oh)
You know the rest are barely noise
The three stood together, summoning a spectral bird that absorbed the thunder magic right out of Ditto, creating a thunderbird that flew up into the air before coming crashing down onto Ditto, actually doing some damage this time!
Gabriel, Jasiri, and Kairi:
Nobody else can match your groove
When you face yourself and win, you'll never lose
"They're doing it!" Soren cheered.
"Calm down, kid," Phantasm said. "There's still more fight to come."
"You… stole some of my magic!?" Ditto said in shock. "Impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible!" Gabriel countered, continuing into the next verse of the song.
Gabriel:
It's getting colder every day
I say, the world is a flurry
Of half-baked plans that fade away
and make tomorrow more blurry
Dodging more off Ditto's attacks, Gabriel next freed Lena and Brooklyn, the gargoyle joining in on the next line.
Gabriel & Brooklyn:
Nothing's adding up
And the nonsense never stops
The insanity congeals your mind
And the endless drama tries to freeze all your time
Ditto growled and used fire, but Lena grabbed the attack and held it into a ball, tossing it to Gabriel who used his magic to bat it away like a baseball.
Gabriel & Lena:
The thought of being here and keeping fear is making me sick
A daily feed of complacency as more minutes tick
My mind is steaming while I'm dreaming cuz my heart is too quick
(It's beating rampant, so the boredom doesn't stick)
Brooklyn took to the skies in an updraft, using his swords and the magical boost from Gabriel to cut through the ice that was holding everyone else in place.
Gabriel & Brooklyn:
Glaciers full of worries your mind creates
Can be melted fast by the moves you make
(Oh oh oh oh)
You grow with every step you take
Lena instantly went Super Sorceress, flying around and countering any attack Ditto sent her way.
Gabriel & Lena:
Don't you get bogged down by your gloomy past
Cause what really matters now is within your grasp
(Oh oh oh oh)
The sun can't match the rays you cast
Ditto tried to use his fire, but the trio absorbed the fire out of him, turning into a massive firework that Gabriel used to both attack Ditto and launch himself high into the air.
Gabriel, Brooklyn, & Lena:
No one can match the heat in you
When you fight yourself and win, you'll never lose
The raven let the music flow through him again, closing his eyes as his necklace glowed like a star. "Everyone, give me your power so that we can defeat Ditto, together!"
Gabriel:
Narrow minded world
Throws you in the bin
Tries to steal your hope
Never let 'em in
One by one, everyone held up a hand, magic flowing from it as the Fantasia particles swirled around Gabriel.
Failure stalking you
Like a deadly fog
Gotta blow it all away, like a blizzard
"Let the song flow!" Aria called.
"And the dance goes on with it!" Double D added.
"Your power will scare away even the nastiest of spirits!" Phantasm said.
"And your passion can calm even my rage," Genesis admitted.
"Kick this guy's butt already!" Kage smirked.
"Fight for the heroes," N stated.
"And to save the villains that want to be saved," Neville added.
Aline rolled her eyes. "Fine. I believe in you too, Dream Keeper."
"You got this, Gabriel!" Logan, Silver, Rachel, Adam, Berry, and Silver shouted.
Gabriel (& Everyone):
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ah
(Break the ice!)
(Break the ice!)
(Break the ice now!)
(Break the ice!)
(Break the ice!)
(Break the ice, now!)
As the energy swirled, it soon took the form of a dragon, twisting around Gabriel as he conducted its movements.
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ah
(Break the ice!)
(Break the ice!)
(Break the ice now!)
(Break the ice!)
(Break the ice!)
(Break the ice, now!)
"Enough of his!" Ditto shouted, sending out a massive blast of ice at Gabriel. The raven opened his eyes, then held out his hands to command his dragon to send a blast of pure magic at the ice blast, causing a beam struggle to take place.
Gabriel:
Glaciers full of worries your mind creates
Can be melted fast by the moves you make
(Oh oh oh oh)
You grow with every step you take
With one push, Gabriel managed to overcome Ditto's attack, falling to the ground fast as he surfed on his dragon, quickly breaking through all of the monster's defenses.
(Don't be) battered down by the common choice
Cause the one that matters now is within your voice
(Oh oh oh oh)
You know the rest are barely noise
"This is it!" Donald called.
"One more move!" Goofy added.
Nobody else can match your groove
When you face yourself and win, you'll never lose
Gabriel flew right at Ditto, then jumped off his dragon as it slammed into the Shape Shifter, knocking him to the ground and leaving a massive crater in the stadium floor.
When you fight yourself and win
you'll know the truth
With the song over, Gabriel let out a huge sigh, his dragon giving a roar of victory before disappearing back into the necklace, which lost its glow soon after. His teammates came to support their friend, while the crowd gave their congratulations on defeating the Shape Shifter.
"How… did you… beat me…" Ditto gasped, quickly being held by Yen Sid's magic.
"Really? You didn't see that giant dragon Gabriel summoned?" Lena scoffed.
"It was the power of friendship!" Kairi cheered.
"We all had a part in beating you," Brooklyn added.
Jasiri nodded. "What was the dragon about anyway?"
"Well, this necklace is a family heirloom of mine," Gabriel explained. "I guess my magic took it to mean having the 'Soul of a Dragon' as Rachel said." The raven hummed in thought. "Maybe if I train hard enough, I could get a dragon transformation like Maleficent…"
"Dream Keeper," Yen Sid interrupted. He smiled. "Once again you have proven your position as a protector of the Magical World. As such, and as was supposed to be given to you, allow me to present to you: your wish."
"But didn't Ditto take it from us?" Jasiri asked.
Yen Sid snapped his fingers, and the Wishing Star floated out of Ditto's chest. "Oh, COME ON!" the Shape Shifter shouted.
Gabriel held the Wishing Star in his hands, then looked around to all of friends and allies. "Everyone, I just want to say thank you for all the amazing battles we had today. It was a lot of fun! However, I'm not the one that will be using this wish." He handed the star over to Lena. "Here Lena, have this."
The duck took the Wishing Star, then let out a held breath. "Well, I won't keep you all waiting," she said. Lena looked at Poe, who was sitting on her shoulder. "Wishing Star, I wish for Poe de Spell to return to his true form!"
Poe squawked as magic swirled around him, before the light faded and a duck was standing in the raven's place. Poe looked similar to his twin sister Magica, including the green feathers and a purple streak in his hair. The duck looked at his hands, patting his form before tears started to form in his eyes. "I'm a person again…" he said. "It's been so long since I've been able to think, to speak, I…" Poe looked down at Lena, the teen duck smiling up at him. "And who are you? Your magic feels like mine."
Lena chuckled a bit. "Your sister may have made me out of your magic." She hugged Poe, the older duck flinching a bit. "And despite my… complicated relationship with Aunt Magica, I was hoping that I could have a second chance with you."
"I have a daughter," Poe said to himself. He patted Lena on the head gently. "Well then, as a de Spell, I shall teach you all that I know of the Dark Arts!"
"I'm kind of a Mage of Light now," Lena said.
Poe chuckled. "Well then, we both have a lot to learn."
Author's Note
Surprise Sunday update! I couldn't wait to write this fight, so I'm getting out to guys early.
Honestly, I don't have a lot to say about this fight, other than the song, "Blizzard," is from the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie. With the power of everyone, Gabriel unlocked his Dragon Soul magic and was able to beat Ditto! Of course, Gabriel gave his wish to Lena, so Poe de Spell is back to being not a raven and gets a chance to be a parent! You gotta wonder how Magica is going to react.
Next Time, we'll get a wrap up for everyone, as well as a look towards the future!
