Chapter 20: Finding the Sigil
The rebellion was now at the castle. They knew their mission was to find and destroy the sigil. The problem was they didn't know where to look. Eda thought of something, "Now knowing Luz, she would hide it in the hardest place in this castle. Spilt up and look for it. With Gus's illusions, that could help us find it without getting caught. Once someone finds it, alert us with the secret code." The rebellion split up in pairs to search around the castle. They checked each room and wall very carefully.
As Eda and Camilla were walking they ran into some coven scouts. "What do you think you're doing," questioned a scout.
"Can't find our rooms," answered Eda.
"Ok, then," the scout replied. "Carry on." "That was close," said Eda.
"Yes it was," Camilla replied. They continued to search for the sigil. They were running out of areas to check so they thought they were getting close.
Belos was searching with kikimora. "So Kiki," said Belos. "Where were you all this time?" "I was hiding from that human," answered Kikimora. "After she overthrew you, I had to run because she was after me next. But now I have returned to return the favor."
"I like the sound of that," Belos replied. They were getting close to searching the whole castle too. They then ran into someone. This someone however was Eda and Camilla. Both groups hit the final place they haven't looked yet. This was the throne room.
"It all makes sense," said Eda. "Of course it would be in the throne room."
Just then they heard voices coming from inside the room. "Scouts," said the voice. "The rebellion is here. Find them and then bring them here unharmed." The scouts agreed and went off. The Eda sent off the secret code. A few minutes later, the rebellion was at the door.
"Look," said Eda. "There's the sigil. It's above the throne. We can't just walk in. We'll need another illusion Goops."
"Sure can do," said Gus as he created an illusion of them.
"Some of us will sneek behind the throne and try to destroy the sigil," said King.
"I like that plan," said Willow. They got ready to go. They burst open the door to the throne.
"I knew they were here," said Amity. "Surrender now or I'll have to play a hard game with you."
"We will never surrender," said Eda's illusion as she got ready to fight.
"So be it," replied Amity. She got off of her throne and charged at the rebellion illusion. As the fight was going on, some of the real rebellion was behind the throne ready to strike.
"Ok," said Belos. "Get ready for my signal." He waited a bit. "Now," he continued. Willow shot a giant thorn at the sigil. Unfortunately, Willow's thorn was shot down by Amity.
"You really thought I would fall for your illusions," questioned Amity. "I know your tricks Gus." She cast an abomination and captured the rebellion. They were able to escape but Amity started to fight. She was dodging spells left and right while deflecting them with abomination magic. She quickly gained the upper hand but was slowing down.
"What's wrong Blight," said Eda. "Abomination magic not helping you?"
"Oh you haven't seen anything yet," answered Amity. She transformed into an abomination herself (like Darius does in the cannon verse).
"Well," said Eda. "We're screwed."
"Not yet," said Belos. "We just have to keep her distracted till my secret weapon wins this battle for us."
"Where is it then," questioned Eda. But Belos pointed at Kikimora behind the throne. Amity now had the rebellion pinned down.
"Hahaha," Amity laughed. "Any last words?"
"Just one," answered Belos. "NOW". Amity turned around to find Kikimora about to destroy the sigil.
"NO," screamed Amity as she tried to block Kikimora's attack with an abomination but it was too late. The sigil blew up causing every one to fling back from the shockwaves. The throne was also destroyed but the castle somehow wasn't.
"Is everyone alright," questioned King. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt. "Let's get out of here," he continued. The rebellion agreed and ran. Amity was injured pretty good but got up very slowly.
"I must warn Luz," Amity said. "I have to tell her about the sigil and the rebellion tricking us." She opened up the portal to the human realm and went inside it.
Now with the sigil destroyed, Luz no longer has control of the island. Or does she? Will Luz already know? Will Luz also about Vee? Is Eda's team winning this war? Find out in the next chapter.
