Outside the cave a few months earlier
James was leaning against the side of the cave, looking at an old photo of his brother and him in their teen years surrounded by some other kids including his father, before sighing.
"Something Wrong?" Clawdeen asked as she appeared before the detective.
The fable glanced up from the photo then at the werewolf and said.
"Not exactly, I was just looking at this" he said in his gruff voice before showing the photo.
"When was that taken?" Clawdeen asked.
"Back in mine and Alexander's teen years, however unlike you, the ghouls and the mansters, we didn't go to Monster High, we attended something similar but it wasn't for Monsters" James answered for he remembered how John told him how Monster High lingo was different from his high school.
"What school did you two attend? And how is it different from Monster High?" Draculara asked while approaching the two with Clawd at her side.
"We attended a place called Ever After High, and it's way different from Monster High, for it is a school for Fairytales, Fables, Tall Tales, legends, and Nursery Rhymes alike. Plus unlike Monster High, the Headmaster of the school Milton Grimm, thinks it's best for everyone to follow in their parent's footsteps by signing something call the Storybook of Legends, so they don't disappear" the detective said.
"Disappear!" Clawdeen exclaimed.
"Relax, nobody at Ever After High, actually disappears for not signing that's just a stupid rumor that Headmaster Grimm made after a mishap with two sisters who didn't want to follow their parents footsteps and wears suddenly forgotten" James said.
"Why's that?" Clawd asked.
"Ever heard the story A Tale of two Sisters?" The fable quizzed.
"Can't say we have sorry" Draculara said truthfully.
James gave a sad smile then said.
"Doesn't surprise me, to say the least it's been years sense the fate of the two sisters, and their story is still being erased from everyone's memory (minus those who attended Ever After High), including monsters like yourselves, no offense" James stated.
"None taken" Clawd responded.
"Anyway we better head back inside, for we got much work to do, and my past at Ever After with my brother is something we can discuss once we're done here" the son of Bigby Wolf said before pocketing the photo and a wayfinder a gift from Cedar before him and the others headed back in the cave with the others.

The Cave Present Day
John jolted awake with his right eye glowing that same eerie dark blue, the others soon followed suit.
"Took you guys long enough" James said while dodging a series of swipes from neoshadows.
"How long have we been out?" John asked as the glow in his right eye diminished.
"Love to tell you bub, but we got other matters to deal with right now" the fable answered.
"While you guys were asleep we were ambushed by heartless and shadow demons" Jack said joining the detective's side.
"Shadow Demons eh sounds like something Pitch would use if he was still alive" John said.
"I doubt that for Pitch never use shadow demons" Jack said.
"Doesn't matter, but enough talk let's take care of these heartless and Shadow Demons!" John exclaimed as he summoned his keyblade along with everyone else.
"Right!" Everyone exclaimed and went to fight the heartless and shadow demons.
Once the first half of heartless were dealt with the heroes turned to the shadow demons and said.
"Okay how are we going to deal with them? For I don't think physical attacks will work on them" Sora said.
Before anyone could respond, Michael saw a shadow demon about to attack John from behind.
"John! Get down!" Michael called out before pushing his former partner/friend out of the shadow demon's attack, and then took out a grenade, "Hasta la Vista, dirtbag" he said then tosses it at the Shadow Demon exploding and the Shadow demon in the process.
"You saved me?" John asked through a series of coughing.
"Of course, look I really did feel bad for taking you granted all those years ago, and I'm really sorry for leaving you in that Panamanian jail back then. That's why I came here; I want to give this partnership another try. So what do you say? Do you forgive me?" Michael asked as he offers his hand to John.
John's Mind
"What do you guys think? Should we Michael a second chance and forgive him? Or not?" Fear asked.
"We gave Lando a second chance, so I don't see why we shouldn't do the same for Michael as well" Joy said.
"Fine but if he double crosses us then he'll be the one spending time in a Panamanian Jail!" Anger stated.
Outside John's Mind
"Well Old Friend do you forgive me? Michael repeated his question.
John smiled then took Michael's hand as he helps him up then said.
"Sure thing partner" he said as Fox was shooting at a few shadow demons.
"Well I'm glad you two really are friends again, now how about we finish these heartless and shadow things!" Fox said.
"Right Fox and I know just what to do" John said.
"What are you going to do?" Ezra asked.
John smirked then said.
"You guys up for putting on a light show?" He asked facing James, Jak, Cole, and Nate.
"You didn't even have to ask!" Jak exclaimed.
"You might want to shield your eyes for this unless you want to end up blind like some people I know" Hank warned the heroes and Brer Rabbit who all but nodded and quickly shielded their eyes.
"Then let's blind these shadows!" John exclaimed. As he tossed numerous flash bangs at the shadow demons, while Jak went into his light Jak form and fired blasts of light, with Cole firing lightning, Nate getting out a propane tank, and kicking it towards the shadow demons before shooting it with a pistol, it then ended with John using a light spell by the name of lumos maxima and James tossing in more flash bangs causing them to explode upon impact with the other flash bangs temporarily blinding everyone and erasing all the shadow demons from existence due to amount of light that was used to defeat them.
"You guys can open your eyes now" Nate mtold the heroes and Brer Rabbit.
Everyone who shielded their eyes unshielded them and was amazed at what they saw all the shadow demons along with the heartless were gone for not a single one was in sight.
"What did you guys do?" Riku asked.
"Nothing dark if that's what you're thinking, we just stuck to what we do, plus we borrowed some skills from James's brother and some friends" John said as him and James showed their wayfinders.
"Are those Wayfinders?" Aqua asked.
"Aye a friend of mines made my wayfinder, while James was made by one of his friends from Ever After High" John said.
"Which we would love to tell you about, but first let's finish things here" James added.
"He's right, we still need to seal this world's keyhole and move to the next world" Shepard said.
"Agreed so let's move out!" Hank agreed before him and the others left the cave to continue searching for the keyhole.
