We're Wizards, Not Warriors
Chapter 53: Clouds on the Horizon
Inside the Jedi Temple….
Sam giggled as he felt his father and mother hugging him.
"At least before we all have that grand battle with Belos, I thought it would be best to give you and the kids cuddles", Anakin said.
Sam smiled and said, "I'll be thinking about this moment during the entire thing."
"We already gave Luke, Leia, Kane and Luz cuddles, now it's your turn Sam", Padme said softly.
Sam giggled as he felt his parents cuddling him.
It felt nice and comforting.
Anakin kissed his son's forehead and said, "I pray to the force, that nothing goes wrong today."
Padme said, "I think we all do."
"Don't worry Dad, Revan will be there to protect me", Sam said.
Right at that moment, Revan popped up.
"Revan", Anakin said.
Revan nodded and said, "Anakin. I'll make sure that Sam and the kids are protected."
Padme said, "we know you will."
Hamill then ran inside the room and made a few noises.
"Hamill says it's time to meet with the others", Anakin said.
"You two go on ahead, I have to make a call to my husbands and children", Sam said.
The others nodded as they walked off.
Sam took out his purple scroll.
He dialed up his family.
It only took a few seconds, but then Sam saw his families' faces on the scroll.
They all said, "HIIIII!"
Sam smiled softly.
He said, "hello everyone. Missed you."
Marek asked, "is everything okay over there dad?"
Sam said, "well, things are looking up. We found out that Raine and Darius are leading a rebel group with a plan to stop the draining spell."
Beru asked, "really?"
Sam nods his head.
Lucifer asked, "anything else?"
"Well the bad news is the Day of Unity is only 24 hours away", Sam said.
Alastor, Lucifer, Prime and Hordak quickly hugged their kids close as they whimpered in fear.
"Don't worry, I and the rest of our allies will stop the Day of Unity", Sam said.
Aiden asked, "promise?"
"I promise", Sam said softly.
Aiden smiled softly.
"Be careful Sam. We don't want anything bad to happen to you", Alastor said.
Sam said, "I'll be careful. I promise."
Sam then blew a kiss at his husbands.
His family all caught the kiss.
Sam smiled.
He said, "I love you all, so much."
"We love you too", Sam's family said.
They all smiled at one another.
"I promise that once everything has been taken care of, you all can come home", Sam said softly.
His family all nodded.
"I have to go", Sam said.
Hordak said, "okay. Stay safe, honey. We love you."
"I will, I love you too", Sam said.
And with that, the call ended.
Sam sighed as he stood up and went to meet with the others.
They had a lot of work to do….
….
The meeting was now in place.
"Okay. We have twenty-four hours until the Day of Unity begins and Belos activates the Draining Spell", Raine said.
"And everyone in the Boiling Isles is taken out in one fell swoop", Darius said as he knocked over some battle planning figurines.
"Well, not everyone. The spell targets those with Coven Sigils, using the nine types of magic as ingredients for the spell itself. It's channeled through each of the Coven Heads during the duration of the eclipse", Raine said.
Lilith asked, "so, what's the plan? Do we hide one of you?"
"We can't count on that after my stunt with the BAT's", Raine said.
"Belos made sure we all had replacements. We can't stop the draining spell, but we can corrupt it. That's where the Owl Lady comes in", Darius said.
Eda raised an eyebrow as Anakin said, "I hope there's a plan that doesn't involve the death or injury of my wife?"
"There won't be, her curse will be the key", Darius said.
"That's right! My curse warps magic. Huh, did quite a number on you two if I remember correctly", Eda said to Dairus and Eberwolf.
Anakin and Padme began snickering.
Darius had an embarrassed look on his face.
Eberwolf then popped up beside Darius.
"Eda would have to sneak into the tower, and here's how. I'll control a pair of abominations to release Eberwolf's flesh-eating beetles into the crowd. It will create a distraction so big, we can get Eda up with the coven heads. The spell will halt once it comes in contact with the curse, and the day will be saved! No problem", Darius said.
Everyone looks horrified and then they glare at Darius.
"What? Only a few people would get eaten. Even then, just the small ones", Darius said.
"If we must do this, the safest bet is to have Eda tap into the spell, by taking someone's place as Coven Head. My place. Sigil, and all", Raine said.
Padme said, "I agree with Raine. We wanna keep casualties to an absolute minimum."
"Why are we acting like Edalyn's the only one with a curse here? Please, let me do this, as a-", Lilith said but then Eda cut her off.
Eda said as she stood up proudly, "no. You haven't had your curse that long. You don't know how it would react. But I do. And how can I say no to sticking it to Belos one final time?"
Anakin said, "Eda makes a point. She's the main key to Raine's plan."
"Heck yes, Owl Lady", Katya cheered and everyone followed as well.
….
Outside the temple balcony….
Luz, and King are watching ships fly by.
King said, "it's hard to believe all of this stuff is happening."
"Yeah me too", Luz said.
"Also, your new look is cool Luz", King said.
Luz smiled as she showed off her new witch robes.
"There you are. Look what I got", Eda said as she handed Luz her newly-carved palisman, an egg.
Luke asked, "an egg?"
Eda asked, "the coat's finally dry. I thought you'd carve something cute, like a tarantula. Why an egg?"
"I got to decide what my future looked like when I chose to be a witch, and I want them to have that option too. Until then, I'm willing to wait", Luz said.
Sam said, "those are some wise words, Luz. You'd give Master Yoda a run for his money with that wisdom."
Luz smiled softly.
She then gave Sam a hug.
Sam returned the hug.
Eda and King smiled at the whole thing.
Eda asked, "can you believe I gotta pretend to be a coven head?"
Sam asked, "Aunt Eda, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Well, of course I don't. You know, even before the curse I couldn't stand covens. Only a select few can learn about different types of magic. It made no sense. But…. If it's the only way to stop this, then I'm gonna do it", Eda said.
Sam said, "let's just hope we can get rid of all the sigils after Belos is defeated."
"That's what everyone hopes for", Luke said.
"But as exciting as saving the world sounds, it's not nearly as romantic as going on a rescue mission to save your girlfriend", Eda said to Luz.
Luz blushed up a storm as Sam gave a chuckle.
"I can take you there Luz, so you can help Amity", Sam said.
Luz said, "REALLY?! THANK YOU!"
Sam let out a chuckle and said, "it's no trouble."
"Before you leave, you should let Anakin and Padme know, Sam", Eda said.
Sam nodded and said, "good point."
"Wait for me here, I'll be back", Sam said to Luz.
Luz nodded.
Sam then walked inside.
He saw Anakin and Padme standing there.
"If anything goes wrong, I press this button and I quickly put my Vader outfit on", Anakin said.
Sam said, "good. That suit will really come in handy."
"Sam", Padme said.
"I came here to let you two know that I am going with Luz to help her with Amity's situation, turns out Odalia has her locked in her room", Sam explained.
Padme said, "just…. Please be safe."
Sam then hugged his parents.
He said, "I love you so much. Thanks for finding me on your doorstep…. And see you when all this is over."
Tears fell down Anakin and Padme's faces as they hugged their son.
They whispered, "we love you so much."
Tears fell down Sam's face.
Sam whispered, "and I love all of you too."
The three then broke the hug.
Anakin and Padme kissed their son's forehead.
Sam smiled at them and said, "I gotta go. Be safe."
"You too. Be safe son", Anakin said.
Sam nodded as he went back towards Luz and King.
Sam then turned into his harpy form.
He said, "come on you guys. Let's go!"
"Be safe, you three", Eda said.
"We will", Luz said.
Sam grabbed Luz and King, he then took off.
Eda, Anakin and Padme waved goodbye.
Sam, Luz and King waved as well.
And with that, both groups were off to stop the Day of Unity….
….
Sam then landed in a part of the forest.
"You made it!"
The trio turned to see Willow, Gus, Hunter and Cobi.
Luz, Sam and King smiled at them as Sam said, "there you all are. I assume Ahsoka and Ani are close behind?"
"You got that right, Dad", Ahsoka said as she walked towards her father.
Sam smiled when he saw her and Ani approaching.
Sam then gave her and Ani a hug.
He said, "glad to see you two here."
"You too Dad", Ahsoka said.
Luz then turned towards her Hexside friends.
"We need to go help Amity", Luz said.
Sam said, "agreed. And that means we gotta head to the Blight household."
"I'm pretty sure it's guarded by scouts and Abomatons", Cobi said.
Luz muttered, "dios mio."
"If I see Odalia…. I'm so handing her over to either Revan or the Titan", Sam growled.
Ahsoka said, "I couldn't agree more."
Luz looked at Hunter and asked, "are you ready to go up against Belos?"
Hunter nodded and said, "I'm ready. Let's give that monster a good fight after getting Amity!"
"Yeah, let's go save Amity", Willow said.
Gus nodded in agreement!
….
Outside the Blight Manor….
The group was peeking out of the bushes.
Luz steps forward, but Gus stops her and uses his magic amplifier to scan any unseen illusions. Through the illusion, they see a Coven Scout spinning an illusion circle. Willow immediately steps forward and cracks her knuckles as Gus and Luz look at her and nod. Luz throws a plant glyph at the Coven Scout, which hits and restrains him and as the others run past.
Sam runs right behind them, his hands glowing a vibrant red!
The group reaches the front of the manor, but an Abomaton suddenly appears behind them, shooting abomination goo. Luz attempts to run away but is restrained by the Abomaton.
Sam yelled, "oh no you don't!"
Sam uses his magic to slice up the Abomaton's arms!
"That's my brother", King shouted.
Sam smirked at his little adopted brother.
"Okay, the coast is clear", Luz said.
"Let me give you a lift to the balcony", Sam said as his hands glowed red.
Luz smiled as Sam helped her float up towards the balcony.
Sam used his harpy form to float up. He was eager to see Luz and Amity reunite.
Luz then opened the doors on the Balcony…. And she heard Amity talking about her.
Edric asked Amity, "what do you think Luz would say to you right now?"
"Probably something dorky, but also sweet. Like how I shouldn't give up and that anything is possible. Or she'd say that I might be scared now but to not let that stop me, because- because every problem has a solution. And everything's been so crazy, we've barely been able to spend time together. And I am not letting the world end before we go on a real date", Amity said.
Emira notices something by the window and points it out to Edric; the twins smile and leave the room.
"Woah, you're right!"
Amity turned to see Luz standing on the balcony.
Luz said, "I would say all that."
Amity smiled in excitement as she yelled, "Luz!"
Luz yelled, "sweet potato!"
The two ran to one another and embraced each other!
"I'm gonna take you out when this is all over, Amity, I promise. No monsters, no mysteries, no deadly duels, it's going to be the most mundane, slice-of-life date ever. And it'll be awesome", Luz said.
Amity smiled lovingly and said, "I know…."
Sam watched and thought, 'kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!'
Slowly, Amity pulled Luz close and captured her lips in a tender kiss.
Luz's eyes widened before closing them as she touched her hand to Amity's.
The two break the kiss, afterwards, the two are completely flustered.
Luz whispered, "oh…. Crikey."
Sam smiled and thought, 'it's about damned time.'
"I can't believe I just did that", Amity said as she blushed.
"I can't believe I just said that! Oh, crikey. How did I even think that? Come on, Luz, be cool next time", Luz said to herself.
Amity said, "Luz, I don't think my parents know what they're helping Belos accomplish. Will you help me tell them about the draining spell?"
Luz said, "of course. That's why we're here!"
Amity asked, "we?"
Luz gestured over to a waving Sam as they walked over to the balcony and looked down at the others.
Willow waved at them.
Ahsoka asked, "did they kiss?"
Sam yelled, "yep!"
Ahsoka squealed. As did Willow, Ani, and even Gus!
Luz and Amity blushed.
Sam smirked as the girls.
"Let's just get to the factory", Amity said.
Ahsoka said, "you got it!"
….
We then see the flying ships. Steve holds up a glowing blue stone and scans Raine with it. Raine then sees a feather floating by and grabs it, looking over to see Eda with curse feathers on her shoulder drinking an elixir. Once finished, Eda hands the empty bottle to Lilith and Hooty, who walk away. Eda brushes off some remaining feathers and solemnly looks over the edge of the ship, while Raine walks up and joins her.
Anakin and Padme then join them as the former said, "this whole mission has everyone tense. This whole situation is nerve wracking."
"Tell me about it", Eda said.
Padme muttered, "I think he just did."
Eda asked, "where are the kids?"
"Leia is with Han and Chewie", Padme said.
Anakin said, "and Luke is with a young witch who joined the Jedi named Mara Jade."
Eda asked, "and Kane?"
"Right here", Kane said as he popped up beside his mother.
Eda yelled, "gah!"
Anakin and Padme snickered.
Kane giggled.
Eda yelled, "don't scare me like that!"
"Sorry", Kane said.
Anakin and Padme smirked.
Eda sighed.
Kane said, "so, what's up?"
Raine then walked over to the group.
"Eda. Are you really willing to get a sigil? Even if your curse heals, you'll never be able to practice wild magic again", Raine said.
Eda looked down in thought as Anakin asked, "isn't there some way to remove a sigil? Like, say, cutting it off? Or a counter spell?"
"Not any that I know of", Raine said.
Eda said, "eh, my curse isn't going anywhere. I can tell it's always gonna be a pain in my feathers. But if I can do this to help, why would I refuse?"
Raine gave an uneasy look as Padme said, "both of them are right. We need to help stop this spell, and I'm sure we can find a way to remove sigils after this is all taken care of."
"We're almost there! Here's your Cloaking Stone, Eda. It'll keep you hidden under an illusion. But it won't change your voice, so try not to say much", Steve said as he handed Eda the stone.
Eda activates the stone. A blue smoke briefly engulfs her before she transforms into an exact duplication of Raine. She looks down at her arms, surprised. Raine and disguised-Eda turn to face each other.
"This works a little too well", Raine said.
"I wonder….", Eda said.
Eda grabs "her" head and detaches it, holding it up. Raine looks horrified.
"Ha! It works", Eda laughed.
Anakin and Padme chuckled at their wife's antics.
Eda puts her head back on and changes back to her normal appearance.
Steve asked as a Bard Coven sigil appeared on his glove, ready to brand, "it's time. You ready?"
Eda muttered, "ready as I'll ever be."
Anakin and Padme gave worried looks.
The two hugged Eda.
Eda gave a small smile.
Anakin and Padme then kissed Eda on the lips.
Eda gave a small moan into the kiss.
"Ahem."
They all turned back towards Raine.
"Sorry, I'm ready", Eda said.
Eda made her way over to Steve in order to receive the brand.
Anakin, Padme, Kane and Raine watched as this happened.
Kane held his parents hands as this all happened.
….
We then see Blight Industries.
Outside the group saw Kikimora enter the factory with Odalia.
Ahsoka whispered, "oh great, that little gremlin is here!"
"This just keeps getting worse", Amity said.
Gus then cast an illusion spell, and now everyone was dressed like a coven scout.
"Sam, you should stay here to protect King", Luz said.
Sam nodded and said, "will do. You kids stay safe in there."
"Don't worry, I'll make sure they're safe", Cobi said.
Ahsoka then handed Ani over to her father and said, "look after him too, okay?"
"I will, sweetie", Sam said.
Ani snuggled into Sam's arms.
The group then went inside, disguised as scouts.
King sighed as he then sat down.
Sam sat down next to King with Ani in his arms.
Then a darkness surrounds the two.
Sam said, "what the!?"
Sam could hardly believe what he was seeing!
"Oh, I can't wait to play with him!"
Sam and King recognized the voice….
The Collector!
And Sam had a hunch about who he was talking about playing with.
"Belos said he could into a…. What was it called again? Harfy? Birdy? Oh! Harpy", the Collector said in glee.
Sam and King glanced at one another.
They knew that the Collector was talking about Sam.
THAT'S why Belos needed him!
This is why Belos had been so determined this entire time to capture him.
All for Sam to be a plaything for the Collector!
"Oh I can't wait for Sam to come home! Then we can spend the rest of our time playing games", the Collector giggled in glee.
Sam thought, 'I can't do that! I've got a family to come back to!'
"Looks like he isn't done yet", King whispered.
The Collector exclaimed, "and I heard he has a family! Imagine the games we could play! Over and over again! It'll be so fun!"
Sam felt his heart stop when the Collector mentioned his family.
He began to see red as he yelled, "IF HE TOUCHES MY FAMILY, I'M GONNA WRING HIS NECK LIKE A TOWEL!"
King jumped in surprise.
He wasn't expecting that reaction!
"But what if Belos is lying? He wouldn't? Would he? He better keep his end of the promise", the Collector said.
Sam and King thought, 'he's gonna break his promise, ain't he?'
"We spent hundreds of years playing his game. I want to play a new game", the Collector said angrily.
Sam asked, "does this maniac really think that this whole thing is a game?!"
The darkness surrounding the two then disappeared.
Ani was looking at the two of them in confusion.
"This whole time…. Belos wanted to capture you…. Because…. He…. He….", King stuttered in fear.
Sam said, "he wanted to give me to the Collector…. Like a toy…."
King shivered in fear.
"So the nightmares…. Anakin has been having….", King said.
Sam said, "they all make sense now. He's been seeing glimpses of a possible future."
King hugged Sam's leg.
Ani snuggled closer to Sam.
This made Sam smile a little.
He was thankful to have his family…. His real family.
King then noticed a trail of bags.
Sam noticed as well.
King and Sam began to follow the trail of bags.
They soon came to a clearing.
They saw Alador sitting on a swing.
He was eating some chips and grumbling to himself.
Sam asked, "Alador?"
Alador looked up to see Sam, King and Ani.
Alador asked, "the Scarlet Wizard?"
Sam said, "please, Alador. Sam is fine."
"Alright", Alador said.
King asked, "so what are you doing here?"
Alador groaned.
Alador then explained his situation with Odalia.
And he didn't spare a single detail.
Alador said, "and was that the last of it? Of course not. While I was recovering from the fire flu, she fired half my team and expected us to continue working at the same time. Did I mention I haven't had a weekend off in five years?"
Sam said, "woof. That sounds awful. If Titan forbid any of my husband's did that, they would be on their ass within the week."
"I'm gonna spend more time with my kids, get to know them. Things are gonna change after the Day of Unity", Alador said.
"Oh, boy. Yeah, let's just say there's not gonna be an 'after' to the Day of Unity", King said.
Alador gave a confused but worried look….
….
Outside Blight Industries, the group have been trapped inside a glowing pink dome with their hands restrained by abomination goo and three Abomatons guarding the outside of the dome. All of the group look angry. Odalia paces nearby.
Ahsoka was growling in rage.
Kikimora asked, "Odalia, is my airship ready?"
"Just about. And I found two adorable little scoundrels trying to steal it. But they'll be dealt with", Odalia said smugly as she saw Abomatrons are carrying off Edric and Emira.
"Edric! Emira", Amity shouted.
"Don't worry, they'll just be grounded. With maximum security", Odalia said.
"Don't you get it? You're helping a witch hunter destroy everything", Amity said as she tried to make her mother see reason.
Odalia said as she ignored her daughter, "really, Mittens, I am tired of all this drama. Sneaking around in little disguises, convincing the twins to act out, are you trying to make me look bad?"
"She's trying to help people", Luz said as she glared at Odalia.
Odalia said, "hush brat!"
Amity yelled, "don't you talk to my girlfriend like that!"
Luz gave a small smile.
Odalia said, "girlfriend? Oh no, no, no. That won't do. We'll find you a new girlfriend", she conjured up a wanted poster of Luz and tore it in half, "one who's not on wanted posters everywhere."
Amity yelled in rage as she managed to snap her bonds and form them onto a spiked fist as she smashed it into the bubble the group was being kept in, but to no avail.
"Ugh. Really, you're embarrassing yourself", Odalia said.
Amity continues punching. Behind her, Hunter turns around to find Kikimora in the Abomatron just outside the dome.
"I always knew you were rotten to the core. Belos will probably snap you in two after I hand you over. Maybe he'll make me the new Golden Guard", Kikimora said in glee.
Ahsoka growled, "you idiot! Belos will leave you in the dust once he's done with you!"
Kikimora asked, "why if it isn't the prince's daughter? Where is your father by the way?"
Ahsoka growled, "far away from Belos. As he should be."
"Don't be so sure. Belos will find his son and bring him back home where he belongs", Kikimora said as she smirked.
Cobi punched the bubble and growled, "I'm not losing my best friend again!"
"You! You were the one who framed the prince all those years ago", Kikimora said.
Cobi nodded and said, "and unlike you, I'm making up for my sins."
Kikimora scoffed.
The group kept glaring at Odalia and Kikimora.
"Also, I'm surprised you're even here, human. Aren't all your friends at the Day of Unity? Oh, that's right. The Emperor has eyes everywhere. And they're all pointed at the Owl Lady", Kikimora said as she laughed evilly and walked away.
Luz gasped in horror; but then she thought of a plan.
"Okay, here's the plan….", Luz whispered into Gus' ear.
Gus gasps at her plan but hesitantly nods. Next to them, Amity is still punching the dome. All of a sudden, it bursts and disappears.
The group's cuffs then began to fall apart!
Amity asked, "how did I do that?! Was it the power of believing in myself?"
"No!"
Everyone turned to see Alador approach with a remote control, with King and Sam carrying Ani by his side.
"It was the power of science. But you almost had it, sweety. Odalia, the Emperor is planning to wipe out everyone with a Draining Spell, and our Abomatons are helping him do it", Alador said as he walked towards his wife.
Odalia looked unfazed.
Alador asked angrily, "you already knew?"
"What he does with our products is none of our business. What is my business is keeping our family ahead of the rest. You're welcome, everyone", Odalia said.
Alador made a super angry face that turned as red as a tomato.
Ahsoka whispered, "so that's where Amity gets it from."
Odalia said, "ugh, there you go making that face. This is why I don't tell you things. With the Emperor's favor, we'll live like royalty in the new world. Crowns and everything!"
Sam did a face-palm so loud that it echoed throughout the entire area.
He then proceeded to say, "okay…. First off…. If Belos drains everyone, who is gonna buy your products? Who is gonna serve you like royalty? Who is gonna serve you period? And if your kids had gotten branded at the school, how would all of this benefit them? There is no point in being ahead of everyone; WHEN THEY ARE ALL DEAD! You have got to be the dumbest witch I have ever encountered in all my years on the Boiling Isles. And I've met a witch who thought butter could save him from acid rain!"
Cobi yelled, "Sam's right! You say you're doing this for your family, but your head is so far up your ass that you actually think Belos will let any witch or wizard live after today!"
Alador said, "I agree with them. This is too much, even for you."
Alador flips a switch and controls the Abomatons to surround Odalia. In response, Odalia clutches her necklace and summons a large spirit. It grapples with an abomination summoned by Alador, then lets more spirits out of its mouth that snatch the control device away from him, bringing it to Odalia. The spirits retreat back into her necklace.
"I don't have time for this", Kikimora said.
Kikimora puts up a defensive dome around her pilot seat and launches into the air. Before she crashes down, Luz bursts forward, in a manner similar to Hunter, and shields Willow from the impact, while the others run.
Hunter is knocked to the ground by the force of the impact. He faces up toward Kikimora and blows a raspberry at her, but is grabbed by the Abomatron. With Hunter unable to break free, Kikimora rushes toward the door of the factory. She bursts through the entrance while King, Sam and Alador duck out of the way and everyone else follows her inside.
Sam quickly handed Ani to King and said, "hold Ani. I've gotta save my son-in-law/uncle! STILL WEIRD TO SAY!"
Sam quickly transformed into his harpy form and his hands glowed red.
He flew after Kikimora and Hunter!
"Let Hunter go", Sam growled.
He jumped right on top of the machine Kikimora was piloting!
Kikimora shrieked in shock.
Sam roared right at her!
Kikimora then attempts to smack Sam.
He grabs her hand and snarls.
Kikimora then quickly thought of something.
She hissed, "if you don't stop this…. Your parents will suffer the most…."
Sam froze at the mention of his parents.
Kikimora said, "if you come quietly with the former golden guard, I can guarantee they won't be killed. Your choice…."
Sam clenched his fists as he thought about what to do next.
Kikimora said, "tick tock, prince. Tick tock."
"Fine…. I'll come quietly…. Just leave my parents out of this", Sam growled.
Kikimora nodded.
"DAD!"
Sam turned to see his daughter, Ahsoka.
Sam gave a sad look.
Kikimora then used the other Abomatron arm to grab Sam.
'Sam , no! Don't worry, I'll help you', Revan shouted into the force.
Revan suddenly emerged from the ground, scarlet magic swirling all around him!
Kikimora went pale.
'Revan…. No…. Don't do it…. My parents' lives are in danger…. I have to do what Kikimora says to protect them', Sam said through the force.
Revan stopped in midair.
Sam looked at Revan with tears in his eyes.
He whispered, "trust me…. Please…."
Beneath his mask, Revan had tears in his eyes.
He wished there was more he could do!
"Sam!"
The rest of the group ran inside.
Cobi shouted, "let him go!"
"I think not", Kikimora shouted.
She then uses the Abomatron's jet pack to blast into the air out of the hole in the ceiling, taking Sam and Hunter with her.
"Ha! The jet pack actually works! Ha…. Oh, the jet pack actually works", Alador said as he realized the situation.
Odalia said, "well, since we finished with that little mess, let's get back to business, shall we?"
Several Abomatons surround the group. Odalia closes in on them from the entrance.
"You! I am never speaking to you again", Amity growled in anger.
Odalia, "you'll thank me when you're a literal princess, Princess. It's what's best for the family."
Amity, furious, creates spell circles and prepares to attack, but is stopped by Alador putting a hand on her shoulder. He walks toward Odalia.
Alador, "what's best for the family…. Is putting an end to all this."
Alador's eyes begin glowing purple, and he summons two large fists out of abomination goo. He uses these to punch the Abomatons and knock them to the ground, while also bursting through some of the factory's pipes.
Odalia, "no, wait!"
Odalia rushes toward a knocked-over Abomaton, dropping the control device. Alador picks it up and powers down all of the Abomatons.
Odalia starts kneeling over an Abomaton as she said, "oh, no no no no no. You're destroying our life's work", she stands up, "but I won't let you destroy it any further."
She summons a spirit from her necklace, but is met by the sight of Alador, Amity, Ahsoka, Willow, Cobi, Revan, Gus, and Luz all ready to fight back.
Alador, "this work is finished. Also, I quit."
"Fine. I've been meaning to find a more competent business partner anyway. And you won't be getting your severance package", Odalia said as she reluctantly retracts spirit.
But before Odalia could make her escape, several tentacles made up of scarlet magic wrapped around her and tied her up!
Revan floated forward, growling, "you claimed you were doing this for your family. But you only did this for yourself. To be a parent means putting the needs and wants of your children over your own. How children like Amity, Edric and Emira came from a wi- a bitch, like you, is beyond me."
Ahsoka and the others were shocked at Revan's actions, they had never seen the Force Ghost so angry before.
Revan growled, "if you weren't their mother, you'd be five feet in the ground by now."
Odalia was shaking in fear.
Revan quickly summoned some rope to tie her to a nearby pipe.
"Hey! Let me out of here", Odalia shouted.
Revan made sure his back was turned to everyone before he used his magic to show Odalia a terrifying face under his mask!
Odalia let out a scream of fear as it echoed around the factory.
Revan pulled down his mark and turned to the others.
Ahsoka asked, "uh, what did you do, Uncle Revan?"
Revan said, "I showed her the most terrifying face imaginable…. The face of someone named….Honey Boo Boo."
The group shuddered at the name.
Ahsoka nods her head understanding, before she and Cobi run to the ship.
Amity asked, "where are you guys going?"
Ahsoka yelled, "to save my baby daddy, what else?!"
"I have to help save Sam", Cobi said.
King ran up the ship with Ani, yelling, "I'm coming too!"
Amity asked as she and the others got onto the ship, "Dad, can you use that thing to shut down the Abomatons at the Head?"
Amity points towards the Abomaton control device.
"You're going to go rescue your friend. You'll need a pilot", Alador said.
"And Luz, I apologize for Odalia. You are always welcome at our home", Alador said to Luz.
Alador puts a hand on Luz's shoulder while Amity approaches her happily, but Luz looks distressed.
Suddenly, "Luz" dispels an illusion to reveal she was actually Hunter. Alador and Amity both retreat in shock.
Alador said, "I'm confused."
Amity said, afraid, "w-what's going on?"
Hunter said remorsefully, "I'm sorry. It happened so fast. I didn't even realize what was going on…. Until she and Sam were gone."
Gus, exhausted, releases his illusion spell and said, "they…. They wanted to protect you. And Eda. And Anakin. And Padme. And…. Everyone."
Willow said, "then that means…."
Amity said, "they're being taken to Belos."
….
In the air, Kikimora is using her Abomatron as a ship with "Hunter" and Sam trapped inside a pink bubble. Luz dispels her illusion as well, bracing herself for upcoming conflict as she is flown off toward the castle.
Sam looked at her in shock.
Luz places her finger on her mouth as to say to Sam, to be quiet.
Sam nodded and hugged Luz close.
Luz hugged Sam back.
They only had each other in that terrifying moment.
And they knew they had to be prepared for whatever was going to happen.
And they would go through it together….
