Isiah: What up? Isiah and Tom here.

Tom: What's up?

Isiah: And welcome back to Avalor's Ending Nightmare. This story's coming out good so far.

Tom: Yep. Nightmare and Shuriki killed the Delgados and now they're planning to invade Avalor.

Isiah: How will Elena and her crew react to such a plan? Let's find out.

Mateo's New Tamborita

Mateo was in his workshop tinkering with spells and potions like he usually does. As he was finishing another one of his spells, he looked over at his secret closet and went over to open it. He pulled out something that he was saving for a rainy day.

Darkness's Tamborita.

Mateo took a long look at the tamborita and thought about how it was used. How Darkness tried so many times to kill him and Elena with it. How he managed to kill his spirit demon with it. He never would've thought he would still have his hands on it if he hadn't been knocked out back in the dark spirit world. After admiring its view for a moment, Mateo placed his hands over the drum of the tamborita and made the blades appear from the sides of the drum.

Mateo again took some time to admire how the tamborita looked with the blades attached to it. But when he removed the blades from the drum, he heard a knock on the workshop door and quickly went over to answer it.

"Gabe. Hey," Mateo greeted the royal guardsman.

"Hey Mateo. Elena needs you for an Grand Council meeting," Gabe said.

Mateo stepped out of his workshop and shut the door behind him. "What's the meeting about," he asked.

"Don't know," Gabe said as he started walking with his friend. "All I know is that it's an emergency."

A Grand Council Meeting

Elena and the rest of the Grand Council were waiting for Gabe and Mateo. They didn't have to wait long as they both walked in quickly.

"Glad you can join us for this emergency meeting Mateo," Esteban spoke up once the two boys walked in.

"Never a bad time," Mateo said. "So what's going on?"

"Alright, so I was reading the daily newspaper today and found this special article inside," Elena showed everyone a newspaper and pointed to the article she wanted them to see.

Duke Cristobal gets released from Nueva Vista Palace prison.

Mateo was shocked to see this news and said, "They let him out?!"

"Correct, but here's where things get rather interesting," Esteban cut in. "One of the guards from the prison sent this footage of what happened when he was released."

Esteban gave the video to Mateo and Gabe and they began to look at it. It was Duke Cristobal when he was watching the prison doors open for him to leave. But as soon as he left, he stopped dead in his tracks and held his chest in pain. He was also struggling to breathe as he was now holding his body in pain. Soon his torso started to puff up and quickly exploded leading to a brutal death.

Esteban could tell how Mateo was looking at the video and spoke up. "Yeah. Brutal, right?"

"Yeah, and very strange," Mateo handed the video back to Esteban. "Who could've been responsible for killing Cristobal?"

"Well let's think about this for a moment," Elena said. "Shuriki was killed during our final encounter in Nueva Vista."

"And Fiero was also defeated there as well," Mateo said. "Which only leaves..."

"The Delgados," Gabe answered.

"Guess they didn't have enough of what we gave them, eh Gabe," Naomi said elbowing the royal guardsman. He smiled at this and said, "Guess they didn't."

"I wouldn't be so confident of beating them again guys," Elena said. "If they can pull off some shit like that to Cristobal, who knows what else they have up their sleeves."

"But you know it's them, right," Esteban asked.

Elena got up and said, "We don't know if it was them for sure, which is why I'm going to ask them directly." Mateo, Gabe, and Naomi agreed to Elena's action and decided to tag along with her.

"We'll keep our eyes out in the kingdom to see if there's anything strange going on," Francisco said.

"Thanks Abuelo," Elena said quickly making her way towards the palace exit.

Meanwhile from the bushes, Nightmare and Shuriki were watching as Elena and her friends were leaving the palace. As they were watching, Shuriki glared and said, "This pathetic bunch. This is what bested me back in Nueva Vista. Allow me to give them a taste of what hell awaits them."

Nightmare just looked at Shuriki and nodded silently. "Be sure to use our new henchmen and our new act of transportation as well," she smiled at Shuriki.

Confrontation in Nueva Vista

Elena and her friends were riding their jaquin friends in the skies.

"So what happens when we get to Nueva Vista," Mateo asked.

"We're gonna first head to their dungeon to see if we can get anymore information on Cristobal's death," Elena said.

"And to see if the Delgados were responsible for killing him," Mateo said.

"Right."

After a long while of flying, Elena and her friends soon arrived at the Nueva Vista palace. They walked inside the palace and saw guards dealing with another dead victim.

"What happened here," Elena asked as she saw the dead victim on the ground.

"I'm not sure. Some kinda body explosion death or something," one of the guards said. "This is the second death this week."

Just when Elena was going to say something, she saw a body flying from afar and a group of demons approach them. A few of them being the demonized Shuriki, and the Delgados. The guards and Elena's friends were in shock to see them coming.

Shuriki smirked evilly and said, "Well, well, well. If it isn't Princess Elena and her three stooges. You like our new look we gave Duke Cristobal?"

"Actually yes I did," Elena said slowly pulling out her scepter. "It matched what he really was on the inside."

"Good. It'll also match what Nightmare and I have in store for you and your annoying friends as well," Shuriki said before ordering her demons to attack.

Before any of the demons could attack her, Elena jumped over them and began to fight Shuriki. Mateo took out Darkness's tamborita and made his way to the demon version of the Delgados leaving the demons to deal with Gabe and Naomi.

"You are not qualified to use such a powerful weapon as Darkness's tamborita," Victor said to Mateo. "Hand it to us at once."

Mateo twirled the tamborita around and said, "Not qualified, eh? Well what do you think of this?" He then summoned the blades that go around the drum and attempted to slice Victor. Carla came to her father's aid tackled Mateo to the ground only to be magically lifted in the air by the young wizard. He then threw her at Victor pushing them to a wall.

When Mateo was done with the Delgados, he turned his attention to the demons that had Gabe and Naomi's attention. He used his bladed tamborita to slice his way through them and to his friends. Gabe stood impressed with what he saw and said, "Damn, where can we get more royal wizards like you?!"

Mateo chuckled as he spoke. "Well first they need a spirit demon like I have."

"A spirit demon like you indeed," Mateo turned to see Shuriki in front of him. "And one that Nightmare would be very honored to turn you into."

"Nightmare," Mateo said in shock. "She's back?!"

"Why yes. She returned after your last confrontation with Darkness. And she's been quite the busy demon ever since she got out," Shuriki said.

"Elena and I killed her once," Mateo held his drum wand in combat. "And we'll damn sure do it again!" Mateo then charged at Shuriki but she quickly dodged it to his surprise. Shuriki let out a smirk and gave him a sign to try his luck. Mateo grunted and charged at the sorceress again but she once again dodged his charge.

Mateo quickly saw Shuriki dodge his attack and immediately shot an attack spell throwing her to the ground. She quickly got up from this and noticed that Elena was behind her with her scepter pointed at her. The sorceress then just kicked Elena back and drew her attention back to Mateo who managed to get the upper hand by smacking her out the door with his tamborita.

Gabe walked out with Mateo and noticed that Shuriki was weakened. But before he could do anything to her, he was stopped by Nightmare floating over to them and throwing him at Mateo.

Elena and Naomi rushed over to the scene and saw Nightmare with their friends. "Hmph. Talk about being full of surprises," Elena said.

"Long time no see, my sinful friends," Nightmare smirked. "Too bad you've come so far...only to fail now."

"Fail, eh? We'll see about that," Elena held her scepter up to strike Nightmare but her spirit demon revealed her red ring and blasted the friends back towards the castle.

Satisfied with what she's done, she helped Shuriki get up just in time for an airship to lower down giving them access inside. As soon as they were inside, the airship lifted and flew off leaving Elena and her friends to get up.

Mateo was the first to say something after getting up. "What was that powerful blast?"

"I don't know Mateo," Elena said seeing Nightmare's airship fly off. "I gotta find out where that airship's heading."

With that, Elena and her friends made their way back on the jaquins and back to the skies.
