Isiah: What up! Isiah and Tom here!
Tom: What's up!
Isiah: And welcome back to Avalor's Ending Nightmare! Back at it again with this crazy story, so let's not waste any time and jump straight to it!
Tom: But what about refreshing everyone's memory on what happened last time?
Isiah: I found that to be useless due to the fact that you can literally go to the last chapter before and find out what happened.
Tom: Oh.
Isiah: Yeah. Anything else?
Tom: Nope. I'm ready to go when you are.
Isiah: Alright let's go.
Regrouping with Elena
"Okay, slow down and explain to me again how the hell did Mateo get captured," Elena said not believing a word her friends were telling her.
Gabe stepped up and answered her. "Like we said, Nightmare came outta nowhere and ambushed us."
"And that's when she grabbed Mateo and escaped with him," said Victor. "More than likely taking him to her Keep."
"Well if he's at her Keep with Nightmare then we have to hurry over to them," Elena said going one direction. "There's no telling what she's doing to him."
Just when everyone was going to follow her, Naomi stopped everyone and said, "Wait. Are you sure you know where Nightmare's Keep is?"
"No, but I might get an idea on where it could be," Elena said working on her communicator. She got into contact with someone and they answered with, "Elena? What is it?"
"We need your help, Isabel. Do you have any idea where Nightmare's Keep is at?"
Just give me a minute," Isabel went away for a moment making Elena and her friends wait for her. She then came back and said, "Okay guys, bad news first. I don't have a location. But I know the perfect way to find it."
"I'm listening," Elena gave her sister her attention along with everyone else.
"There's an airship to the south of your location that's parked. Take that and it'll take you to Nightmare's Keep," Isabel explained.
"Got it. Thanks Isabel," Elena turned over to her allies and looked at them smiling and nodding before heading towards where Isabel told her.
Headed for the Darkened Skies
After approaching the parked airship, Elena told her allies to stand back and watch for any movement. When she was certain that no one was nearby, she raced over to the entrance along with her friends. Victor took control of the airship's flying controls and began to take flight into the dark spirit world skies.
While everyone was busy gathering themselves together, Ash took her time to look at Victor flying the airship, then at Carla admiring her tamborita. Fox saw this and went over to her asking, "How do you feel?"
"Uneasy Fox," Ash said after a sigh. "Very uneasy."
"Look, our fight with Nightmare is guaranteed to be tough, but you shouldn't let that cover up your confidence," Fox said.
"No, it's not that. It's what she's put me through all this time that's covering my confidence."
Fox took a seat next to Ash and said, "Ah yes. I heard you were a slave to Nightmare's order for a long time."
"Yeah. 15 years," Ash sat next to Fox. "But even after I escaped her enslavement, she still had a way to torture her way into my head."
"How'd she do that?"
"Well...it was just last Navidad," Ash was taking her time, trying not to let out any tears. "I looked in a newspaper...and it said 'Father and Daughter Killed in Brutal Assault'. And I was hoping and praying that it wasn't Victor and Carla."
Fox felt a bit of emotion to the start of this story, but continued to listen. "And I arrive home Navidad night...and I see them...alive and kicking it. I'm thinking 'Happily Ever After is right in front of me'. But then...a few months past..."
"What happened a few months later," Fox asked.
Ash took a couple deep breaths before continuing. "It was just when Princess Elena's friends had stopped us from stealing her magic and had captured Victor. Carla and I had swam off to some unknown island. Stayed there for like three days. Then on the forth day...I noticed Carla walking up to me with no emotion on her face. She told me 'Mama, maybe everything's not so bad after all.' I looked at her with a confused look...as she took out a demonized gun saying, 'A special gift to you...from Nightmare.'"
Ash's story fueled Fox with inside emotions and he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Then out of nowhere, Nightmare appears standing next to Carla and she reveals to me...she killed her and Victor and enslaved them."
Fox thought of what he was just told before responding. "Listen. You shouldn't let that weight doubt your courage Ash."
"I know...but what if this really isn't the end? What if Nightmare has another trick up her sleeve after this final battle," Ash asked.
"There's no other place for her to hide, Ash. We will end this once and for all," Fox said with confidence. He placed a hand on her shoulder and she smiled at him.
Approaching Nightmare's Keep
After a long while of flying, Victor finally saw sight of an island but it was surrounded by blood red water. On the island, he saw a huge dark palace and it made him warn everyone that they've arrived at Nightmare's Keep.
Gabe walked up to Elena and asked, "So what happens when we go inside? We just charge in and go for Nightmare?"
"Something like that Gabe," Elena turned to face the guardsman. "But we need to be careful when confronting her. No doubt she has more tricks up her sleeve."
When Victor was through landing the airship, he went over to his wife and daughter and asked, "You guys ready for this?" Carla first responded with a tight hug to her father and she said, "I'm really nervous Papa."
"You'll be fine, Carla. We just have to stick together," Victor hugged his daughter back. Ash took a deep breath and told Victor and Carla, "Best of luck to each other. We'll Goddamn sure need it." She then left the airship with Elena and the others following close by.
To be continued...
