Meanwhile, Sarah and her party made their way to Berk and she had informed Hiccup and Zenna of their impending arrival, leaving the pair, Astrid, Fishlegs, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, Snotlout, Henna, Gobbler, Edgar, and Stoick to wait for their arrival on Thor's Beach. It had been three months since Sarah and her family went to Berk to end the Dragon Wars and during that time, after adapting to their new lifestyles together with the dragons, things couldn't have been better for the Vikings.
When the heroes finally did arrive, they were surprised to see their friends again but with new arrivals in Liberty, the Quest Team and the Cat Pack, Jarrod, Camille, the three Pai Zhuq masters, David, Nikki, James, and Donna (former queen) since they left. However, when they were told why they were back on Berk, they soon realized that they were not returning for a social visit.
They made their way to the Great Hall where Stoick and the Berkian Vikings gathered with Sarah and Tsukumaro and after introducing the newcomers to their island abode (while keeping with the white lie concerning Jarrod, Camille, and the Pai Zhuq masters), they proceeded to explain the reason for their return.
"Okay, back up for a sec; Team Eclipse has caught onto your trail on your journey to find your real parents and they teamed up with this newbie ally of theirs with the intent on hunting you and your family down and destroying you," Hiccup began.
"And, they got themselves an armada of brainwashed dragons from said ally by exploiting Deathgripper Venom so they can sic them on you including your real grandparents who you revived days ago from the infamous Killing Curse?" Zenna balked.
"And, the guy who has a personal vendetta against you guys is on the hunt for you right now so if he and his goons kill you before you reach your real parents or takes you all down when you're together again, he'll claim the throne meant for you when you became your kingdom's heir in Alola," Fishlegs deduced.
"And, you know those clowns because you've tangoed with them before?" Snotlout finished.
Sarah nodded in confirmation while the Vikings contemplated everything they've been told until Gobbler worriedly asked, "I believe you, lass, but, your friends... Are they hurt bad?"
The princess sighed and nodded, prompting Tai Lung to step in and say on her behalf, "They were wounded badly during the battle but Lillie and her older brother, Gladion, were able to make it out in one piece and they're now recovering with 1/4 of the Quest Team and our old friends' students. The princess herself is alright, but we're praying for a miracle for her friends..."
"Hey, why are you so down in the dumps nyeow?" Wild reassured as he and Bandit gently nuzzled her with the latter giving reassuring barks.
"Yeah, paws up. Race is much stronger than he looks and if anybody can get you out of a jam, he can. He won't be taken down that easily," agreed Shade, remembering the strongest member of the Quest Team.
"What are you going to do now...?" Astrid pondered.
"Yeah, you guys got your buns whooped by Mask Man and his dorkies back there. Like, totally uncool," Tuffnut concurred.
"A total barf-fest with how you guys were thrashed about by those clowns," nodded Ruffnut in agreement.
"Sarah, I don't know what you're planning to do but how do you expect yourselves to take on your former uncle and his army while staying alive?" Stoick prodded with concern as he joined his son and his friends. "The Deathgripper Venom they exploited on the dragons under his wing made them powerful and they'll stop at nothing to take you down since they'll be here any moment to finish the job."
Sarah just sighed in dismay as she answered, "I don't know... I don't want to drag you all into this so soon after what we've dealt with regarding the Red Death, but..."
"Hey, what are you saying? We're Vikings, this kind of stuff is an occupational hazard, remember?"
"He's right, we're your friends, too. You saved all of us and the dragons by getting us and our friends and our dragons together to stop the Dragon Wars from continuing to destroy us," Hiccup and Zenna reassured.
"You really saved our bacons when you took a real risk coming here with such a strong bond with your dragons and having them enter our shores despite knowing what it would mean should you blow your cover," Astrid nodded in agreement. "If it wasn't for you, we would've been dragging the Dragon Wars on for more years to come."
"Princess, rest assured that your life, as our friend, is currently important and we would be beside ourselves if we leave you and your family and friends to continue fighting this war against your own fallen uncle and his syndicate on your own," Stoick agreed warmly and determinedly. "Until the war is over and you and your family are back together again, we Vikings are ready to do our part to end your suffering and put an end to Team Eclipse's schemes for Alola and the rest of the world."
"They're right, Mom. Besides, we should use what we use best to put them out of our misery and theirs - the Magic/Power of Friendship... Even though it's cheesy, very cheesy," Star agreed as she hugged Sarah and nuzzled her.
"You said it yourself, Mom. Didn't you tell us last year that your family heirlooms and your magic don't make you the princess you are today? You got us - your family and friends," Candy agreed.
"One for all and all for one," Flora added in agreement.
"Nothing stops even when we finally achieve world peace," said Persian.
"There are fiends like your uncle, other crimes, to protect everyone and the world from," Keldeo concurred.
"We've been through too much before hooking up with you and none of us would trade our new lives with you for anything else," Charger remarked knowingly.
"Mama, you taught us what true friendship, honor, real courage, and love are all about. We don't want to abandon that now," Nebby replied sweetly as Nebula nodded in agreement.
"We're stuck with you, Ms. Pretty, and that's that," Zorua sniggered.
"There's nobody we'd rather be than with you," agreed Lilac.
"In other words, you can't get rid of us!" finished Poipole jokingly as she twirled, making everybody chuckle.
Sarah looked at her family and friends as she recalled her meeting Erwin Jaeger's Pokemon before she and her family adopted them; she had to admit that Star and Candy were right and so were Flora, Persian, Keldeo, and everyone else she loved, she did say that her family and friends were her power when she duked it out against Carmen Sandiego and her former Galarian Articuno. That has always been her greatest strength ever since she started her Pokemon journey and uncovered her true origins and she wasn't about to let them go now, not after everything she went through. If she was beginning to doubt her friends and her family, she'd be damned and she won't look her real parents in the eye if they found out she'd give up so easily in their biggest challenge yet.
"...Yeah, you're right. Both of you," Sarah admitted warmly. "You too, Flora, Keldeo, Persian, all of you..."
She then looked to the rest of her family and friends and the other Vikings and their dragon companions, "I had all of you with me here and now and in spirit even with all my powers, you all are my greatest treasure and my true strength."
"We'll be ready to do our part to bail you out, kid," Snotlout put in cockily yet honest to a degree.
"Friends don't quit."
"Together forever."
"Yeah!" Camo, Rosa, and their children chirped knowingly as Avel and Yamper pounced on her and gave her loving licks.
"Slick, dudes! I'm ready to ride!"
"I'm roaring to go!"
"Let's pounce this joint!"
"If you ever need a climber, I'm your cat!"
"A perfect job for a purrfect cat!" the Cat Pack and Liberty agreed eagerly with Bandit happily barking, eager to help out as well.
Jonny, Hadji, and Dr. Quest couldn't help but chuckle in amusement over Bandit sharing their sentiment with Jonny quipping, "That makes it unanimous, right, Bandit?"
But, their joy and relief weren't to last as Twilight, Dawn (Deathgripper), and their children suddenly felt tense and turned to the door, hissing apprehensively. Their sharp sense of danger caught everyone's attention as they turned to the doors and saw them being melted as if somebody was after all of Berk and Sarah and her family and they had found them.
"Uh, guys... We've been found," Hiccup announced as they saw the brainwashed Deathgrippers and dragons and the Seven Sins.
"Knock-knock."
"Room service!"
"What's up, lard-bellies?" Mousey, Hakins, and Wolf sneered as the Vikings, their dragon companions, Sarah, her family, and all her friends with her braced themselves. "Mind if we cut in on the fun?"
"They're back!" Phanpy cried in alarm.
"Not again!" Fennekin squeaked fearfully.
"Oh, man!" Sho fretted, sticking close to Arrietty as she prepared to fight in defense of her son.
"Get ready!" the Hisuian Zoroark warned everybody, baring her fangs at the villains and the brainwashed dragons.
"Intruders!" Toothless gasped in shock before he and Stryka growled.
"We don't recall inviting you to our little gathering nor giving you permission to brainwash let alone capture those dragons!" Toothless' mate barked, fuming at Team Eclipse.
"You realize that no matter where you go, wherever you hide, we'll snoop around and find ya until our debt is repaid, do ya, missy?" sneered Katzenberg, smirking. "That's the problem with ya; you always show others mercy instead of making it painless, princess, typical merciful spoilsport."
"You really should learn to grow a spine unlike them if you want to reach the top, Ms. Goody Two-Shoes!" sneered Melania mockingly.
"Hmph, you're just like my brother and the girl he stole from me; always compassionate to even your worst enemies and never having the guts to run him through to have your foes taste the cold steel," Lothor snorted in disgust, remembering his former family through his niece. "That's the one thing I hate about you lowlifes nowadays, always having pure hearts and never knowing when to really show your authority upon a crime man stepping out of line."
"Unlike you, my family doesn't try to kill anybody for power out of hatred and jealousy and who has a grudge against someone who isn't in control of birthrights out on a whim," Sarah retorted.
"Time does strange things to people given the opportunities that become ripe for the picking and ready for someone to choose his or her own destiny. That's just how life is for some people including myself and my syndicate, I'm sorry that you and my miserable excuse for a 'family' failed to see the light and you're trapped in the past for who knows how long. Your purity and strength of heart sicken me every time I look at you because everything you are because of your own parents is everything that I should've been before you came into the picture. And now, I'm going to do what I should've done...500 years ago!"
"Not while we're around, you're not!" Astrid spat, pulling out her axe as the other Viking Teens, Hiccup, and Zenna got themselves and their own weapons ready and their dragon companions also prepared to fight.
"You and your psychos messed with the wrong people, Lothor!" Hiccup barked defiantly as Toothless snarled dangerously, baring his fangs at the evildoers.
"Oh yeah, what are you kids going to do about it? You're nothing but a bunch of lowlife savages," sneered Melania.
"Come up to us and say that to our faces!" seethed an infuriated Wyveon, his right eye twitching in anger.
"We'd have to stand on and fall down the cliche pitfall trap gag to do that but here's the deal if you're deaf, you savages. We need the brat, just hand her over and we won't have to kill you to get to her," sighed Ivanka, already feeling annoyed by the heroes stalling for time.
"Too scared to face us?" Piplup barked defiantly as Frostbite and Chomper whimpered before they hid behind their parents' front legs.
"Ha, that'll be the day! Look, all we want is the kid and then we'll call it a day. You savages give us the girl and we'll leave your island abode in peace, no harm done and you'll live happily ever after...NOT!" snarked Katzenberg, already pushing the Vikings' buttons and those of their dragon companions.
"Not if we kick you all out of our island and away from Sarah and her family and friends first!" snapped Astrid, raring to go for a fight as her Deadly Nadder, Stormfly, snarled in agreement.
"I oughta slug you!"
"Actually, creeps, we're not savages. We're Vikings and our dragons are not savages, either, " Snotlout and Fishlegs snorted in disbelief and disgust.
"Our friends are not going anywhere with you!"
"Not in a million years!" Hiccup and Zenna added, sharing Astrid's sentiments towards Team Eclipse.
"You want Sarah that badly? You'll have to take her from us, by force!" Stoick agreed.
"You think we're bloody savages, do ye? Why don't we all show you how we 'savages' and our winged and four-legged friends really fight?" Gobbler concurred, issuing a direct challenge to the villains.
"Then, we'll take her," Lothor remarked simply, a dark smile on his face.
"Uh, hello...? Have you got rocks for brains; living army with us against your stroopers, duh!"
"We'll be roasting you all by the time we'll be on our next hunt," Ruffnut and Tuffnut retorted, smirking back.
"Oh, please. Avada Kadavra!" scoffed Lothor, whipping his wand and unleashing the Killing Curse at Hiccup before Raven intervened with her shield and thus canceled the spell.
"HEY! No fair using magic against the boss, mutt!" Katzenberg shrieked in shock and disbelief.
"You conniving, little-! Dusknoir, shut her down!" Ivanka threatened, pointing Dusknoir at Raven and prompting him to charge at her, only for the demon wolf to phase into her shadow and startled the Ghost Pokemon before she knocked him back with a shadow tentacle and reemerged as her eyes glowed red.
"Don't you ever touch my friends or I'll let my shadows do the talking," she spat back.
"You may be the bigger threat towards all of us and my former uncle, Lothor. And, you may be the rulers of whatever jungle you're from but as far as I know, you and your cronies are NOT and will NEVER be the rulers of us, my family, this archipelago, and my home!" Sarah barked definitely as her eyes glowed a bright white and kickstarted her Animagus transformation again but into a fully-grown 18 ft. tall female lioness with a twilight-colored mane.
The Vikings and their dragon companions were understandably startled by this and even the Cat Pack and the Quest Team couldn't believe their eyes once they saw her transform into her lioness form.
"Whoa, when in the name of Thor did she become a lion?!" Zenna shrieked in shock.
"Yeah, you guys never told us she could do that!" agreed an equally baffled Astrid.
"Hadji, look! Sarah just became a lion!"
"Even I'm unable to do that kind of magic!"
"Incredible, a transformation made possible by magic that not even science can comprehend! I've never seen anything like it!" Jonny, Hadji, and Dr. Quest gawked in complete amazement and bewilderment as a surprised Bandit barked in agreement.
"Meow-wow! Look at her!"
"She's now a cool cat!"
"Roaring!"
"How did she do that?!" the Cat Pack added in stunned awe.
"Long story," Tsukumaro, James, and Nikki answered simply, knowing that there's no easy way to answer the questions presented to them.
"I may have given her a few lessons," Raven smirked, giving a wink to the Vikings and their dragons.
"Damn! What now, old man? She just keeps being unpredictable with her new tricks!" Wolf groaned as Team Eclipse prepared to fight.
"Ouch Time...!" gulped Mousey.
Sarah wasn't done yet because after she startled and caught her enemies off guard, she kickstarted her twilight powers and created tentacles out of pure light as she grabbed the Seven Sins in them without warning. Then, she whipped the leaders around in circles to disorientate them before she threw Melania, Katzenberg, Lothor, and Ivanka out of the Great Hall and out of the Barbaric Archipelago, making their Pokemon partners gasp in shock before they immediately left to pursue their humiliated masters with the brainwashed dragons following.
"Bye-bye!" laughed the younger and baby Jungle Pokemon as they saw their family's enemies kicked out and four of the evil Pokemon leaving.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, BRAAAAAAT!" Katzenberg vowed (via Plankton's first defeat in SpongeBob SquarePants) as they disappeared, leaving only Mousey, Hakins, Wolf, and their Pokemon partners at the heroes' mercy.
"This isn't over!" screamed an infuriated Dusknoir, pointing at Sarah threateningly before he left while Darkrai gave an impressed scoff before he calmly followed the other three panicked evil Pokemon.
Once the transformed princess was finished with her strongest foes (all while managing to not put the Vikings and their dragon companions in danger as she hoped), she turned to the only three remaining Sins and found out that Mousey, Hakins, and Wolf had been left in the dust thanks to her. They and their partners struggled to break free from their binds but it was no use. But, they weren't finished yet; when Raven and Sarah looked at each other, they came to a mental agreement regarding the trio and winked slyly as she tapped into her twilight magic again and gave a snap of her light tentacles, causing Mousey, Wolf, and Hakins to be turned into a trio of Mini Lop Bunnies after a quick transformation.
The evil Houndoom, Camerupt, Steelix, Yanmega, Salazzle, Aerodactyl, and Tyranitar shrieked in surprise as they saw what became of their masters but they had no time to take their transformation in as their Pokeballs were dropped and David picked them up before he quickly returned them all inside them.
"That's my girl," chuckled Nikki.
"BOO-YAH!"
"She did it!"
"She's finally beaten three of the Seven Sins!"
"I bet they didn't see that coming from Aunty Sarah!"
"Ha-ha-ha-ha! Hey, look at them!"
"They're bunny rabbits now!"
"Does somebody have a camera?"
"They're so cute and fluffy!" the princess' Pokemon and dragons laughed as they fell over, seeing Hakins, Mousey, and Wolf as bunnies.
Even the Vikings and their own dragon companions couldn't help but laugh as they saw three of their friends' enemies in their current dilemma; what they just said and got them laughing was true, Mousey, Wolf, and Hakins were finally out of the picture and with their transformation and the loss of their Pokeballs and their Pokemon, they were now useless to Team Eclipse. It also helped that they didn't have to fight against Lothor and his crew's brainwashed dragon army given that the dragons retreated with their temporary masters after the strongest Sins were kicked out and their Pokemon ran away with their tails between their legs.
"Hey, what gives?! What'd you do to us?"
"Fellas, don't look now but I think we got new ears! And, whiskers! And, fuzzy feet!"
"You little muppet! Turn us back into humans right now or you'll be sorry!" Hakins, Mousey, and Wolf cried out, seeing themselves in their new forms and reacting as expected just as Tsukumaro conjured up a sturdy cage to allow his goddaughter to place them inside before he shut them inside.
"My Animal Transformation magic I've taught her is rendered permanent on you and since Sarah's the only one who made you like this, not even Lothor can change you back even if he forced her to," Raven smirked mockingly.
As Sarah turned back to her human form and everybody got a chance to compose themselves, Snotlout was the first to express the Vikings and their dragon companion's shock over her Animagus transformation (via the classic anime angry bloated head gag), "Okay, as funny as that was, Sarah, there's one thing we want to know... SINCE WHEN IN THE NAME OF ODIN CAN YOU DO THAT?!"
Sarah gulped; she just realized that she had forgotten to tell her Viking friends about her other powers including the Roar of the Elders (the reason she was able to transform into a lioness in the first place). Now, she was on the receiving end of expectant glares from them and their dragon companions for the truth about her animal powers. Even Hiccup, Zenna, Toothless, and Stryka couldn't help but raise expectant eyebrows as they wanted their friends, their families, and fellow Vikings to be filled in on what they've already been told.
Luckily, Tsukumaro stepped in and took a deep breath to calm himself; he knew something like this was inevitable and he had to loosen the tension gripping everybody gathered. Carefully, he managed to explain to the Vikings and their dragons (sans Stryka, Toothless, Hiccup, and Zenna given that they're already in the loop) about his goddaughter's Animagus ability she attained from the Wizarding World and the Roar that made that transformation possible.
Once they've been given the full details on her Animagus ability, Astrid hummed thoughtfully as she scratched her chin, "So, what you're trying to say is that the white lion you've become is what people in the Wizarding World call an Animagus transformation. And, people who can transform into animals are called Animagi?"
"And, you've attained that form through a power known as the Roar of the Elders that allows you to roar and utilize the strength of past kings from this cartoon called The Lion Guard?"
"And, you've used it a few times to whomp Team Eclipse beforehand?" Ruffnut and Tuffnut thus deducted.
"Yep, that's about it," Keldeo confirmed Tsukumaro's words with a nod.
"Animagi are able to transform themselves into animals 500 years ago at will and yet, they can't choose their animal forms; rather, they become the animals that suited them best. As you can tell, on account of her pure heart, her unparalleled strength, kindness, and her sheer wisdom, Sarah's animal is the lion. She was rusty on her form recently so along with giving her a rundown on that, I've been giving her and her boyfriend lessons on manipulating their twilight magic and they're picking things up pretty quickly even though they still have much to learn," Raven went on, smiling at the princess and Teen Race.
"And, to sweeten the deal, my girl's been given the lowdown on this party trick called the Disney Animal Transmutation Curse," Liberty added with a snigger, taking a look at Mousey, Wolf, and Hakins in their new animal forms. "As you can clearly see, they became what they are now, hook, line, and sinker."
"Unreal!"
"Thor, help us!"
"That's amazing!"
"No way!"
"Radical!" the Viking teens exclaimed in awe and fascination.
"Crikey, never knew the young lass of royalty was that magical," commented an impressed Edgar, giving off a whistle.
"Even when I'm overly fascinated by the power of science, it marvels me how the supernatural and the magical can take hold in such a way!"
"Wow, are you getting this, Hadji? Sarah's an official Animagus from the Harry Potter series!"
"Magic that can allow people to turn themselves into animals at will? That would make a great magic trick!" Dr. Quest, Jonny, and Hadji replied in amazement with Bandit also barking his awe at Sarah, prompting her to give him a gentle rub of appreciation.
"Meow-wow all the way!"
"Lion power rocks!"
"Totally clawsome!"
"A purrfect power for a purrfect girl!" the Cat Pack concurred, singing their praises.
"But, what I don't get is why you didn't show them to us when you first came here," Gobbler said to Sarah.
"I believe you remember that one time when she was forced to transform to protect Young Hiccup after somebody irked the Monstrous Nightmare he was trying to tame last time we were here," Cobalion retorted with a raised eyebrow.
"...Oh, uh, he-he," gulped Gobbler, smiling sheepishly as he remembered while Stoick, Henna, and Edgar cringed.
"If too many people found out how powerful she is in any of our worlds, who knows who would be out there to hunt her down for who-knows-what? I've no doubt it'll be for nefarious purposes those hunters will have in mind," added Raven knowingly.
"Magic of that caliber and more that the princess has along with the magical creatures in her possession must be handled with great care. How and when she would use them and call for their help is vital or else the consequences, should she let herself loose with them, will be most dire," Virizion concurred.
"Wait, wait, wait! Magical creatures, real magical creatures?" Hiccup blinked in surprise.
"Sarah, what's with the briefcases you and your lover boy got? You didn't have that last time you came to Berk," Astrid added, noting the briefcases Sarah and Race have on them.
"Oh, these? They're our homes for all of the mythical creatures from the Wizarding World we've come across along our journey to find my real parents," the princess replied. "Some of the creatures we met were rescues while others were living out in the wild in one way or another before we brought them along."
"Wow!"
"Barfing Barfbags!
"Can we see them?!" Tuffnut and Ruffnut begged eagerly.
"I don't know; some of them are very sensitive and if you insult their pride or make them mad, you'll have them coming after you," Sarah warned.
"How bad can they be? We're Vikings; this stuff's an occupational hazard and we can handle anything they throw at us," Snotlout replied cockily.
Race sighed but he and Sarah relented as they nodded and opened their cases, "Hey, guys, come on out! We want you to meet Island Girl's Viking friends!"
Hearing Race's call to them, all of the pair's magical creatures and rescues popped out of their briefcases and managed to squeeze themselves into the Great Hall; even Zalkia, Fang, Drogon, Zephyr, and Sapphira managed to fit in fine despite their enormous sizes. As the wayward crew could tell from their reactions, the Vikings were left in shock and thrown for a loop when they took in the sight of creatures such as the Qilin, Unicorns, Shishi, Westros Dragons, Ocammies, Hippogriffs, Sea Serpents and Horned Serpents, and Nifflers packed the entire hall before their eyes.
"Wow/Wha-/No/Whoa/Holy Shields/Mother-Cunning/Horney-Toads!" the Viking teens reacted, their dragon companions also startled by the creatures and exotic dragons present before them.
"Odin's Beard...!" Stoick balked in complete shock, his eyes as wide as dinner plates.
"By Jove, I've never encountered dragons such as those fellas before...!" breathed Gobbler, feeling the same way as he eyed Drogon, Zephyr, Syrax, Sunfyre, Viserion, Vhager, Sheena, Summer, and Sapphira. "What are they exactly, Sarah, Tsukumaro?"
"Sapphira - she's an Antipodean Opaleye, one of ten here and the most docile species of dragons in the Wizarding World," Tsukumaro informed, eying Sapphira and her children along with the rescues. "Her children, Drogon and Zephyr, and the young ones with them are known as Eastern Dragons."
"And, how old are the dears?" Henna inquired.
Sarah then responded, "Shenna and Summer, they're both newborns. And, at their current ages, Syrax, Sunfyre, Viserion, and Vhager are technically adolescents at around five years. As for Drogon and Zephyr, they're both roughly 6-7 years old, tops."
"WHAAAAAAAA?!" the Vikings all spluttered, comically falling over as they took in the fact that Drogon and Zephyr were much larger compared to their own dragons.
"T-They're all kids!"
"Impossible!"
"They're that young?!"
"And, they're still that big?!"
"Get out!" Hiccup and Zenna's friends balked.
"It's true, Sarah confirmed it!" Celestia giggled.
"Holy Odin..."
"Crazy..." Hiccup and Zenna breathed, trying to compose themselves.
"Winged Wolves and White Lions as well? I can't believe you're crazy enough to save all of those incredible beasts," Edgar stated, still thunderstruck as he took notice of the princess' White Lions and Winged Wolves until he eyed the dinosaurs, particularly the Indoraptor and Indominious Rex (both named Fang and Zalika respectively). "But, what are these two? You've mentioned just now that they're...Fang and Zalika?"
"Fang's an Indoraptor and Zalika's an Indominous Rex and along with Raven and her pack, Angel, Rebel, and Steven, they're all genetically engineered hybrids created by this mad scientist guy, Dr. Cawthorn. He intended to use them to be used as weapons and offer them to the military powers of our world for money and what's more, Sekekama and his pride were illegally smuggled into the country for the same reason."
"What have you guys been doing after leaving Berk after the end of the Dragon Wars?" Zenna questioned with a raised eyebrow.
While the Vikings were introduced to the mythical creatures Race and Sarah owned, Blue, Delta, Charlie, Razor, Bumpy, Steven, Angel, and Rebel noticed the newly-transformed Three Mini-Lop Stooges in their cage, causing them to nudge it and startled the perpetrators inside.
"Hey, watch it, you muppets!"
"Cut it out!"
"What's the matter with you?!" they shouted threateningly, only for the babies to roar and paw at the catch playfully and causing Hakins and Mousey to scream (both of them knowing that Blue and her siblings could eat them if they broke in).
"Aww, look at the little darlings! They're all so adorable!" Henna cooed, seeing the baby creatures before they happily bounded up to her and made her laugh.
"It's nice that you've done something good for all of your rescues, Sarah. But, are you really going to use them for war in your world?" Stoick inquired cautiously.
"No. I don't plan on keeping them for long; I promised Raven, Sekekama, and Matsuri that I'd release their pride and pack into the wild after finding them a place for them to call home and where they can be safe and happy. I would like to have them as pets but I feel like as the wild animals they are, they deserved to live out in the wild. I have no problems with animals in captivity as long as they're lovingly looked after and they're not feeling upset about being cooped up in one spot. But, some people don't get the memo that wild animals are just that: wild animals. My and Race's dinosaurs and mythicals are a different story; our dinos are all but the last of their kind after being brought back to life and none of us knew what happened to the magical creatures that lived around 500 years ago after Newt Scamander's escapades in the US. Fang and the others are no exception, especially since they were born out of the stupidity and selfishness of humans."
Hiccup was confused as he and Zenna turned to her, "What do you mean 'born out of the stupidity and selfishness of humans'?"
"Long story but in the movie franchise in our world, Jurassic Park, multi-billionaires would recreate the dinosaurs and then exploit them for money or use them as weapons of war. The final movie that my family, friends, and I heard about, Jurassic World: Dominion, showed that at a time when the dinosaurs and humanity finally lived together in harmony, a global black market was on the rise as people poached the dinos, made illegal underground tradings with them, or sold them to the highest bidder imaginable," Race continued, frowning as he gently rubbed Bowser's (Bumpy's father) head.
"From what the princess has told us all, she and Race don't want to subject Little Bumpy and the other dinosaurs to that kind of mockery treatment so we all agreed that it would be best for them to claim custody of them from now on so nobody can do as they please with them," Tai Lung nodded in agreement.
"It'ssssssssss the only ssssssssafe way to keep them out of trouble and away from the wrong handsssssssss," Medusa concurred, the Vikings being left in awe and stunned disbelief over Race and Sarah's selflessness for their dinosaurs and creatures yet horrified at the thought of the dark side of humanity on their end.
"And, one good turn deserves another, which is why I've placed all of them on my conservation project. They are technically endangered on both normal and critical levels so I'm making the right decision for them," Sarah finished knowingly.
"Sounds like you have a long road ahead of you if you want to do as you wish for all these fantastic beasts, Sarah," Dr. Quest noted, voicing everybody's thoughts on the matter as he gently caressed Bluestar.
"I agree, it's not every day you get to do something or meet mythical creatures from Harry Potter and real-live dinosaurs that won't attack you," Jonny agreed as he and Hadji gently pet Firestar while Bandit plays with the younger dinos.
"Do you think we can see your other dinosaurs if you have any?" Astrid questioned, causing Race and Sarah to look at each other in a mental debate.
Luckily for them, Tsukumaro stepped in, "I'll gladly introduce you to Little Chomp and the rest but we're more concerned about where Raven's pack and Sekekama and Matsuri's pride are going to live away from the prying eyes of poachers and hunters."
"Hmm... Well, there does happen to be an island around this area of the Barbaric Archipelago that's free of hunters and poachers. Will that do?" Hiccup suggested after he did some thinking.
"Hmm, this island you mentioned does have a 1/10 chance given the fact that in the Barbaric Archipelago, there are more than approximately 70 islands," Rotom-Dex calculated thoughtfully as he considered Hiccup's idea. "And, there's also the fact that the lions and wolves need different habitats in order to survive. But, I suppose it won't hurt to take a look and see if it's to their fancy."
"Hey, you muppets haven't forgotten us, have you?!" Mousey barked, now tired of being ignored and being Bumpy, Steven, and Angel's playtoys along with Hakins and Wolf. "What did you do with our Pokemon?"
"When we finally get out of here and catch you, you'll be sorry!" Hakins added, feeling pissed off and humiliated in his crew's current predicament.
"Their fate will be decided and that starts now," David frowned firmly as James gave him the shrunken Pokeballs.
"Your Highness, I have a suggestion. May I...?" Raven offered, the former king nodding and giving her the balls before she focused her magic on them and recited, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"
With her powers and the magic words, she shattered the balls and turned the evil Pokemon belonging to the Three Stooges Sin and turned them all into Pokemon eggs and, in Aerodactyl's case, a fossil. Wolf and his mates could only watch in shock and horror as Raven essentially regressed them back to their egg stages while the Vikings were once again left in bewilderment and surprise over what the demon wolf could do.
"NOOOOOO!" the Three Stooges Sin screamed.
"Holy shields/Whoa/By Odin's horns/Amazing/Fangs and blisters/Crazy/Cool/Awesome!" the Vikings and Viking teens gawked in amazement while the dragons roared and warbled in shock and surprise.
"How did she do that?!"
"Now, that's power!" Hiccup and Astrid admitted, stunned.
"Wow, Raven, what did you do to them?" breathed Zenna, reeling from the evil Pokemon belonging to Wolf, Mousey, and Hakins in their new state.
"No, t-this can't be..."
"How...Why?!" Mousey and Hakins whimpered and balked.
"What did you do?!" snarled Wolf softly, his devastation taking over.
"I've reincarnated them into Pokemon eggs, they'll retain their moves and final forms after they hatch but they'll have no memories of their past lives nor you three. Now, they're essentially blank slates; You can't use them to hurt or threaten anyone ever again," Raven said bluntly.
"And, believe you me, they'd rather be better off with somebody else other than you animals," Race added as Sarah took the eggs and the fossil and put them in her briefcase.
"I'm sure Officer Jenny and the Rogues of the Law won't mind a few new additions to their squad," Sarah grinned slyly.
"You'll regret this! YOU'LL REGRET THIS!" snapped Wolf, hopping in anger and humiliation before a carrot was shoved in his mouth to shut him up courtesy of Zenna.
"Cork it, bunny boy!" the female Viking spat at the angry mini lop.
Astrid soon started to think as she hummed and rubbed her chin thoughtfully, pondering about the brainwashed dragons under Team Eclipse's power before she turned to the princess and spoke up, "Sarah, speaking of smuggling, you've mentioned that Lothor and his fellow sins have managed to find and smuggle their 500 dragons from here to your world with a little help. Do you know anybody or how they were able to do that?"
"Your world doesn't have any of the prohibition laws that prevent poaching, smuggling, and especially hunting animals, endangered or otherwise, as my world had and because of this, people are free to do as they please with them without any repercussions. It makes it easier for you guys to get away with murdering someone but if a murder or other crime takes place in my world, you could end up in prison for who-knows-how-long. That, and you guys and your dragons have been in complete isolation from each other and the other tribes if there are any left so my uncle and his goonies took advantage of that to get those dragons for their army."
"But, who's got the money and power needed in your world to help them smuggle all those dragons?" Hiccup pondered.
"That's something we got to know and fast," agreed Fishlegs.
"Well, I bet these three bunnies know who was responsible for helping them in their ploy against you and your family and friends, Sarah. Why don't we play 20 Questions with them?" Rotom-Dex asked, looking at the mini-lops.
"We're not telling you lamebrains anything!"
"Soitenly!" the mini-lop stooges spat definitely with a pout.
"Hmm, if you don't want to spill... Hope you won't mind having Blue over for dinner with you guys, she's getting hungry for a meal right now," Sarah bargained as said raptor came next to her and she gave a sly, toothy grin as she licked her chomps while eying the mini-lop stooges.
Wolf did his best to stare back defiantly at Blue and not crack under the pressure he was feeling but his defiance was not matched by Hakins and Mousey's as they shook and shivered, trying their best to keep quiet as well. But, Blue didn't break her gaze as she edged closer to the cage and purred with the growing pleasure of having some meat should she be allowed to enter the cage, continuing to strike fear into the animal trio. The seconds and minutes ticked by but by this point, it was all too much for Mousey and Hakins to bear until they finally snapped with panicked screams and sang like canaries at the next second.
"WAIT, WE GIVE! UNCLE, UNCLE! WE'LL TELL YOU!"
"IT WAS DR. ZIN! DR. QUEST'S OLD ENEMY AND RIVAL PROMISED TO GIVE US A HAND WITH THOSE DRAGONS AND BUILD OUR ARMY TO TAKE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS DOWN BEFORE YOU CAN GET TO YOUR PARENTS! PLEASE, DON'T MAKE YOUR RAPTOR EAT US!" they screamed, terrified as they held each other in fear.
"POOET! Numbskulls, I should've known you would crack like a bunch of eggs!" groaned Wolf, aggravated by his fellow Sins' confession after spitting out the carrot Zenna stuffed in his mouth before pulling off a Double Zinger on them which made them give off a painful "OW!".
"But, it's true, Wolf! He was the one responsible for finding and smuggling all the dragons in our army that bailed this world because of those wars they had and he's already completed his own Zord as well!"
"Dr. Zin!"
"But, how?!"
"Dr. Zin! He's the one responsible for your dragon army?!" Jonny, Hadji, and Dr. Quest reeled while Bandit barked in total shock.
"Neow way!"
"That black science bozo again?!"
"I thought we were done with him after the cyber insects incident he dragged all of us and Dr. Belage into, for sure!"
"Uh-huh, I thought we were done looking over our shoulders for him after he ran off!" the Cat Pack commented in disbelief.
"Alright, will somebody fill us in? Who is this Dr. Zin?" Teen Race interjected.
"Do you humans have some sort of relationship with this Dr. Zin character, Dr. Quest?" Stoick questioned Benton, also unsure of who Dr. Zin is to him, the other Vikings, and their dragon companions.
"He's a scientist just like Dad but he's a nasty piece of work," Jonny explained. "He's not somebody you want to have for friends since he always tried to use his scientific genius for evil things."
"He's been a rival to Dr. Quest for so long since he wanted many of his own and his friends' secrets to their inventions," Hadji noted in agreement as Bandit showed his contempt for Dr. Zin with angry growls and barks.
"Oh, dear... This is serious! If he's already built his own Zord to aid Lothor and his minions in their quest to destroy us, he must've been told about our ploy and wanted to contribute to their goal," Tsukumaro theorized worriedly.
"But, are evil geniuses in any team not to know the concept of teamwork?" Phanpy asked.
"Yeah, as in many evil alliances, there's discord amongst the ranks for some reason," Hashimoto pointed out, remembering the incident involving Rose and Oleana arriving in Alola for revenge. "We saw how that went when Rose and Oleana first joined forces with the Seven Sins and look where that got them."
"Maybe they got a deal worked out between them," Cyndaquil peeped.
"Uh, no way. How can those creeps keep a deal lasting long if they found any loopholes to get what they want out of it without compensation for the other?" Piplup replied skeptically.
"I'd rather not find out in Lothor's case of that of Dr. Zin's," Robbie remarked to the two Jungle Pokemon.
"Alright, you bad guy bunnies! Talk!" Sho growled, baring his fangs as he eyed the mini-lop stooges.
"Since you creeps have your army and Dr. Zin has his Zord, when is he going to attack with the rest of Team Eclipse?" Milotic interrogated.
"And, what else do you know about who's in the evil armada along with those brainwashed dragons? I have a feeling that those dragons are just the start of it if they're the front line assault," Aqua added, giving Wolf, Mousey, and Hakins the stink eye as she crossed her flippers.
"Knock off the wisecrack confessions, you squirrels, or the boss might come running for you!" barked Wolf at Mousey and Hakins before they could confess again before Blue, still eyeing them, headbutted the cage and made them crack again.
"No, wait, WAIT! Three days, that's the limit! They'll be ready to attack you in three days' time!"
"Zin and the boss want their combined forces to be ready for battle against you meddling kids using genetically engineered Pokemon along with those dragons under our control through the Deathgripper venom and Zin's very own Storm Bird Zord! PLEASE DON'T EAT US!" Mousey and Hakins cried again.
"That's more like it," Arcanine scoffed simply with a nod.
"No way! That must mean Zin created Hikari and the rest of the Primal Pokemon that escaped!" Jonny gawked in disbelief.
"So, that's it!" Hadji nodded.
"That can't be!"
"How horrible!"
"That madman!" Edgar, Henna, and Gobbler breathed in stunned horror.
"Something tells me this Zin dude's got some screws loose," Tuffnut commented.
"Or, he's got rocks and nuts for brains," Ruffnut agreed.
"Like, totally tripped out, dudes! That explains why they're in chains and why they've been rag-dolled when we found them," Liberty put in, unable to control her shock.
"Zin must've put them through unbearable paces after creating them through training in combat."
"Like, dog fighting," Lilac and Rubble said, a feeling of dread brewing in their stomachs.
"You know, even if we don't understand you guys word for word, the way you put it... That does not inspire confidence," gulped Hiccup towards the two dragons.
"And, how many genetically engineered Pokemon are we talking about here from Dr. Zin?" Arrietty put in, her glaring eyes piercing at the frightened Mousey and Hakins as they continued to hold each other in fear and eye her.
"Uh... A-A-A-About, maybe, uh... 500, give or take," Mousey whimpered, unable to control his fear.
"500 Pokemon, all genetically engineered?!" screamed a shocked Draco.
"Good grief..." groaned an exasperated Jolteon.
"Aww, man! And, just when we had our work cut out with those brainwashed lizards!" Cinderace moaned.
"And, what about this Storm Bird Zord Dr. Zin created, does it do anything else besides fight?" Cobalion inquired as he came over to the cage, his steely gaze boring into the terrified mini-lop stooges (save for Wolf as he glared back in defiance).
"Uh... Aside f-fr-from being able to c-c-c-c-c-control all those Pokemon they've b-been d-d-d-drilling to fight, nothing e-e-else," Hakins explained.
"Control Pokemon?!" Kaji and Audino cried, baffled by the new bombshell.
"This is serious; if that thing Dr. Zin is making can really control Pokemon including the ones he's genetically engineered, the whole planet will be under his and Team Eclipse's mercy," Dr. Quest noted grimly.
"But, what about those dragons under our species' own venom and the Imperious Curse? Isn't there anything we can do to break them all free of those things?" Twilight begged, wanting answers on how to solve their current predicament.
"And, we're also down five rangers with Ash, Kiawe, Mallow, Sophocles, and Lana out of the picture until they can be brought back," Terrakion reminded everyone. "If Dr. Zin and Team Eclipse get the green light to attack while we lay low, we could be in for a world of hurt and we won't free those Pokemon and dragons from them."
"Then, I guess we better free all those Pokemon and dragons before Zin and Lother ambush us with them again," Nikki suggested.
"And, hope that Ash and the others will be back in the saddle if we're going to take the fight to them," James agreed.
"You're right," Sarah concurred with her adoptive parents.
"But, baby, you must understand that the only way to save those darlings was to make an antidote for this strange venom from dragons called Deathgrippers and find a counter to the Imperius Curse," Donna (former queen) reminded.
"That's not an easy feat to accomplish given how little we know how to defend against them and how unprepared we were," David added.
"And, as far as I know, Princess, that has never been done," Tsukumaro finished.
"We don't have a choice; a countercurse and an antidote are our only ways of nullifying the venom's effects and beating the Imperius Curse," Sarah frowned, still trying to maintain hope in everyone's current predicament. "We've got to figure out which spell would break it and what makes the Deathgripper Venom tick so we can break Team Eclipse and Zin's hold on them!"
"And, where do you suppose we hightail to start off with, girlfriend?" Liberty questioned.
"Y-Y-Y-Yeah, against a-a-all that f-firepower, we don't e-even know w-w-w-w-where to s-s-start," Uxie nodded.
"There must be something we haven't thought of yet," Mesprit pondered.
"...Or, someone, actually," Raven piped up, gasping in surprise and realization bubbling within her after a bit of thinking.
"Someone?" Poipole peeped, fluttering over to the demon wolf.
"Huh?" the baby Jungle Pokemon quipped in confusion, tilting their heads at Raven.
"What are you talking about, Raven?" Solar asked.
"I know exactly who would be able to help us!"
"Who?" Sarah's dragons inquired.
"You'll see, I'm taking Sarah and Race with me. You all and the Vikings and their dragons stay here and be ready if Zin and Lothor's bopsy troopers get the jump on us again."
"Anything's better than just standing around. Let's move, Island Girl," Race relented, deciding to tag along with Raven.
"You're right. Mesprit, can you pinpoint Lillie and the others and tell them Race and I will be going on a short trip for answers?" Sarah agreed, turning the Lake Guardian of Emotion with her offer.
"On your command, Princess," Mesprit bowed in compliance just as Raven opened a dimensional tunnel.
"All aboard!" Raven called, immediately jumping in with Race and Sarah following.
"Take over, Granny, Gramps! We'll be right back!" the little princess told her grandparents.
"Pumpkin!" David called with worried love, prompting his grandchild to stop as she turned to the revived former king and queen. "Be careful..."
The little princess nodded before she left through the portal to catch up with Raven and Race, leaving everyone else to wonder what to do now and to prepare for the worst should Zin enter the field and he and Lothor take the fight to them as well. Now, their hopes of stopping them, the rest of Team Eclipse, and crushing their army would rest on not just Ash and the others with their continued recovery but also on the help they needed from Raven wherever she, Race, and Sarah would end up at.
On the other side of the portal, the aforementioned trio arrived on a small island somewhere in the west coast state of California. On the island that stood close to a seaside city a few short miles from it, there stood a T-shaped tower that stood out from the rest of the area.
"Where are we?" Race pondered, looking around.
"Wait a minute, why does this place look so...familiar?" Sarah noted, also glancing around the island, the seaside city, and the tower before them. "I feel like I've seen it before..."
"You should. Welcome to Jump City, my fair lady and gentleman," Raven smiled. "And, before you here is the home of the one and only..."
"Yo, Rave!"
"Dude, you're back!"
"Oh, Wolf Raven, how marvelous it is to see you again!"
"Hey, welcome back..."
"Twoie!" five voices called, the trio turning back to find five teenagers that looked like a walking demoness in human form, a greenlette, an African-American cybernetic humanoid, a female alien, and a boy in his late teens with a mask on his face covering his eyes running towards them.
"Cyborg, Robin, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy," the demon wolf smiled warmly as the aforementioned heroes, the Teen Titans, approached her and the young couple.
"Man, how's that for an entrance? I never thought you'd pop back here again after the last time we crossed paths with you," Cyborg smirked, giving Wolf Raven a friendly noogie.
"What a joyous occasion it is for you to appear from out of nowhere and spend time with us again after so long!" Starfire gushed, hugging her demon friend's animal counterpart.
"Yeah, dude! We missed you, how long has it been?" Beast Boy added, laughing as Wolf Raven licked him when he started petting her.
"How've you been, girl?" Robin smiled, giving her a gentle rub on the head.
"Good, I got so much to tell you but now's not the time..."
"I can tell, you look like you're not here for a social visit if you're bringing two strangers to our home. What's going on?" the Teen Titan Raven commented, gently caressing her wolf double's face.
"No way..."
"The Teen Titans?" gasped Race and Sarah, the latter being completely speechless as she continued, "I know you, you're all from that cartoon show I've watched while growing up!"
"Dude, I had no idea we were that famous to people around the world nor we got our own TV show," Beast Boy whispered to Cyborg in surprise.
"Wait, wait, wait, whoa! Back up! Are you saying that these are the actual Teen Titans and you've known them for how long?" Race spluttered, completely baffled.
"I've been on the road with my powers while with Angel for the past decade, my counterpart here was responsible for helping me control them after I first got them," Wolf Raven said to the pair.
"She's right there, Raven here has done Twoie a great deal with controlling her powers and knowing how to keep herself in check while knowing when to use them at the right time," Robin smiled with a nod as he shook hands with the pair. "My name's Robin, as you know. I'm the leader of the Teen Titans."
"Name's Victor but you can call me Cyborg," Cyborg replied in greeting.
"Hello there, friends. I am known as Starfire and I come from the planet of Tameran. It is glorious to meet such wonderful people like you and welcome you to our fair city," Starfire added, picking up on the introductions.
"Yeah, I'm Beast Boy," nodded Beast Boy.
"And, I'm Raven. Though, not to be confused with my double you're with; we called her Twoie just to tell her apart from me given that we're similar to each other on the demon front apart from the fact that I'm part human and she's a wolf," Human Raven finished with a soft smile while she continued to pet her wolf counterpart.
"Nice to meet you guys, Robin. My name's Sarah, Sarah Tomoe. And, this guy here is Race Konami, Hoenn Battle Frontier Champion," Sarah said, introducing herself and Race.
"Wait a minute... You look like royalty the way you dress up, there's no way it could be... Unless," Beast Boy put in, looking Sarah all over on account of her royal attire and her new tiara. "Sweet, HA-HA! I can't believe it, you're a princess! A real live princess, you just gotta be since you didn't dress like us and you have a crown!"
"Oh, you mean my tiara?" the little princess commented, pushing Beast Boy back when he got too close to her.
"A princess, just like me?!" Starfire gasped in wonder, remembering that she's the daughter of her planet's emperor and her father, Galfore.
"When did that happen?" blinked a surprised Cyborg.
"Long story but short and sweet, she's the real deal from another era and another world," Race replied, filling in for his girlfriend. "Just don't call her by title, her name would suffice, okay?"
"And, you don't want anybody else to call you by your title because...?" Raven inquired curiously.
"Just because I'm a princess doesn't mean everybody else should treat me as such. I don't feel better compared to others because of my title and my birthright, I'm just me and nothing else despite my powers. I'm not the prissy, fussy type that has nothing better to do than play dress-up all day and think of being a pompous muppet, should you know."
"I suppose we can accept that," smiled Robin with an understanding nod before he frowned, wanting to know something else. "Anyways, why did you guys come to Jump City all of a sudden?"
"Long story, too, Robin. But, right now, we need your help with a little problem we have in our world," Wolf Raven informed.
"Sure thing, dude. What's the catch?" Beast Boy inquired.
"Well, there's this madman who's Sarah's dad's psychotic monster of an brother named Lothor and his Pokemon syndicate, Team Eclipse. They're hellbent on destroying both her and her family in a mad quest for revenge so that Lothor can steal the throne from them in the Alola Royal Hierarchy after he was banished from the kingdom for trying to do so when she was just a baby. Since she was born, she was destined to be the heir to the throne belonging to her parents, King Doug and Queen Delilah Tomoe, inadvertently pushing Lothor to the wayside and leaving him feeling cheated of his chance of succeeding his former mother and father, King David and Queen Donna. And, that was before a period of war called the Ultra Beast Wars took place and Doug and Delilah were forced to seal them away with their own lives, forcing themselves to send their only daughter to the future, our time, for her own well-being."
"Whoa..."
"No way..." Human Raven and Cyborg gasped in stunned shock while Beast Boy and Starfire were left stunned into silence.
"Sarah, was that really how it happened?" breathed an astonished Robin, getting a confirming nod from the princess herself.
"But, he's now more dangerous than most people think; he has since studied dark magic from a place known as the Wizarding World where my godfather came from after he was first kicked out of our home and first killed off my grandparents until Wolf Raven and I found a loophole in the Killing Curse he used, he's gathered a massive army made up of 500 genetically engineered Pokemon tailored to be more powerful compared to the originals and 500 dragons brainwashed into doing Lothor's dirty work using the Imperius Curse and Deathgripper Venom."
"And, that's not all; in our world where we and some friends of ours become a team of defenders known as Power Rangers, this mad scientist named Dr. Zin has created a Zord of his own called the Storm Bird Zord with them which gives them the power they needed to control them. With such an arsenal on them, they'll be poised to attack Island Girl's region in three days since we were gone for a while," Race put in.
"With what we're up against right now, I was just wondering; since you guys were able to take down your own adversaries in this world including Trigon and The Brain and you had to think outside the box on how to deal with them, you guys might be the ones to help us find or make the antidote to completely nullify the Deathgripper Venom and counter the Imperius Curse if we're to free all those Pokemon and dragons," Wolf Raven concluded, the Teen Titans now in the know-how involving Sarah, Race, and Wolf Raven's current predicament and ploy.
"An antidote for a dragon's venom and a countercurse for the Imperius Curse from the Harry Potter movies?" Robin pondered before he turned to Raven, regarding her profound knowledge of magic. "What do you think, Raven, is it possible to find or make them?"
"This could be complicated given that we have to find out what makes that venom and the Imperious Curse tick but I'll see what I can find in my books," Raven promised, hoping to find the answers their friends needed and fast.
"I can give you a hand with that, Raven. I've been studying dragons since I went to this place called the Barbaric Archipelago in my world and everything else about them including the Deathgripper Venom," Sarah offered. "I already have tons of notes on me so I can give you everything I know about the venom to give you an idea of what you'll be dealing with."
"Thanks, Sarah, I'll need it," smiled Human Raven with a thankful nod.
"But, is there really any other way to counter or stop your uncle's magic of the dark arts he's practicing?" Starfire (Teen Titan) asked the princess.
"As far as I can tell, from what my godfather told me about the Wizarding World, the only thing I can think of that can counter the Dark Arts is love - the strongest and most powerful kind of magic known there. But, I don't know how to harness the energy needed from love. It also doesn't help that my family, friends, and I will be dealing with Zin and Lothor's Storm Bird Zord which controls all those genetically engineered Pokemon. Against that power, I don't even know where to start," Sarah admitted, frowning.
The Teen Titans thought for a moment until Human Raven gasped and she quickly produced a scroll had with her amongst her spellbook collection, "...Here, it's a scroll that was among my collection of spellbooks, charms, enchantments, and incantations. It might come in handy for you against your uncle and Zin."
Curious, Sarah took the scroll and opened it, reading the text that said the following:
"White Arts, the Opposite of the Dark Arts - a benevolent system of techniques based around a purer side of magic typically used for helping other people by healing the mind, body, or soul. Practitioners of White Arts focus on assisting others, purifying evil spirits, dispelling curses, making medical potions, and respecting the rules about what is forbidden or not. They're also capable of using offensive magic though this comes with strict restrictions more often than not."
"White Arts?" Race puzzled, getting a look at the scroll's contents.
"Yes, this may be your hail mary against the Dark Arts Lothor is now profound in. By teaching you these spells that can negate and counter the most nefarious of spells and curses, you may stand a chance against him," Raven confirmed. "I also know that the incantations of the spells from the Wizarding World are derived from Latin and I'm profound in that language along with their powers deriving from love, hope, and a pure heart."
"Nobody among us besides Twoie knows magic better than Raven and if anybody can give you two a hand in learning the White Arts with your Twilight Magic, it's her," Robin concurred knowingly.
".…...Raven, thanks," Sarah thanked, grateful for Human Raven's assistance.
"Much obliged," agreed Race.
"One more thing, Sarah. Since you have a pure heart and you're capable of Elemental Manipulation, I'll make you a Nephilim," Raven added.
"Appreciate it," the princess said, nodding before she became confused. "...What?"
"A Nephilim - a human/angel hybrid. I'm the physical counterpart of your Nephilim called a Cambion, a human/demon hybrid. Both are equal in strength but they specialize in different forms of magic including the White Arts. Your friendship with your friends and your love for them and your family are your greatest weapons and will allow you to use it to help you and get an edge against your uncle. If you want, Twoie and I can help you train during the time you have here in Jump City."
"...Can it be done?" Sarah asked again after thinking and getting her head around what she was told.
"It's difficult but not impossible," Wolf Raven replied.
Sarah just nodded again; she knew fully well that her friendship with her friends, her hope for the future, and her love for her family had helped her out of a jam many times in the past. And, now, with the addition of a human/angel hybrid on the heroes' side and new magic that can make the most of her love and friendship (just as they had done in Equestria), Team Eclipse and Dr. Zin won't know what'll hit them.
"And, me?" Teen Race pondered.
"Why don't you hook up with me while your girlfriend's walking the magic walk with Raven and Twoie? I'll whip up some new gear for you," Cyborg suggested with a smirk, making Teen Race and Sarah go pale and making the Teen Titans and Wolf Raven laugh at them.
Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Seven Sins along with their Pokemon, staggered frustratingly into Zin's command center as they did their best to recover from their latest setback and the loss of three of their fellow Sins. Sensing their presence, Dr. Zin spun around in his chair to them, a genetically engineered Hungarian Horntail-like Pokemon (made from a combination of Charizard and Horntail DNA to make it the same size and height as the Wizarding World's most aggressive dragon) by his side as it purred.
"I trust the first attack was, as they would say, a bust, Lothor?" Zin questioned knowingly.
"Hmph, you can say that. My niece has become more resourceful and more unpredictable with what she's now capable of," Lothor grunted calmly, knowing they'll strike again another time.
"Grr! Oh, that meddling witch, she makes me so steamed! That two-faced snothead's going to pay for this!" Melania snarled in humiliation.
"We should've had our Pokemon and our army sic her when we had the chance!" Katzenberg spat in reply, the sting of their latest defeat hitting them hard.
"Perhaps you would've but you didn't anticipate fully how much she has improved since your last encounter. But, it's a good thing you've taken out her friends even though the Quest Team, the Cat Pack, and the Power Rangers Jungle Fury made their move," Zin nodded, calculating their next plan of attack in his mind.
"And, what of Mousey, Hakins, and Wolf? Shouldn't we go back for them?" Ivanka put in, remembering the Sins that were left behind.
Lothor thought for a moment and then smirked with a huff as he turned away, "Leave them, I don't see how much we can do with them now."
Melania and Katzenberg were shocked by this, "Leader!"
"Darling, are you sure?" Ivanka questioned, looking unsure for a split second.
Lothor dropped his smirk as he gave a silent scowl before continuing, "I know those three have done the best they can but even I have my limits with buffoons like them and as far as I can tell, they got diddley to show for it."
"And, you're saying that this is the end of the line for them?"
"Of course, I have a feeling my niece already sealed their fate after they failed to be blown away with us. If that's the case, and they lost to her for the last time, then Team Eclipse will have nothing to do with them from now on. They've proved themselves useful until the bitter end..."
Lothor kept as calm as a cucumber as best he could as he tried to reign in his anger at his teams' fellow leaders and their failure and what this would mean for his Pokemon syndicate.
"...I see," Ivanka replied reluctantly, Lothor giving her a gentle kiss and knowing what they and the rest of their syndicate have to do.
"Shall we move forward with the plan, Zin?" he questioned, getting a nod from Zin but under one condition.
"Yes, of course. But, we continue to gauge them and strike when the iron is hot. For now, with the other Ultra Rescue Rangers out of commission and the princess and her man left standing, proceed with Phase 2..."
While the villains and heroes were collecting themselves for the next phases of their plans for the inevitable showdown, at Pine Ridge, in their hidden HQ underneath the dinosaur statue formation of Dinohedge, the Power Rangers Dino Fury gathered with Solon in front of their giant supercomputer. They had just gotten word from the Solonosaurus that they have an unexpected and urgent transmission meant for them on the Ranger Hotline and they have to be present to answer it.
"That's strange, I've never seen something like this before. What could it be?" the cybernetic dinosaur pondered curiously.
"What's in the dino zoo this time, Solon?" Javi, the black Dino Fury ranger, asked for everyone as they entered.
"Is it another Sporix Beast on the loose?" his stepsister, Izzy, the green Dino Fury ranger, added.
"Actually, it's not a Sporix Beast on the hotline this time. The transmission seems to be coming from a place on the east coast called Palm Key," Solon answered, preparing to accept the transmission. "I'm not sure who sent it but whoever it was, they must want our help."
"But, what happens if it does turn out to be a Sporix Beast and it's not around Pine Ridge? I feel like this is a bad omen for something we can't be ready for," Amelia, the pink Dino Fury ranger, questioned worriedly.
"I doubt that; the Sporix wouldn't make it within 100 miles even with their speed after escaping from the vault last year," Ollie, the blue Dino Fury ranger, answered skeptically.
"Whatever the case, we have to be sharp and ready for anything."
"Zayto's right, we can't be too careful with this one," the red and gold Dino Fury rangers, Zayto and Aiyon, replied.
"Alright, everybody. I got the transmission set, here goes!" Solon announced, accepting the call before two computer windows popped up (one window showing the Beast Morphers rangers and Commander Shaw at Coral Harbor and the other showing Adult Race, Gladion, Lillie, and the Jungle Fury Rangers).
The Dino Fury rangers and Solon were surprised and thrown for a loop when they saw who was calling them through their Ranger Hotline. "Whoa! Uh, guys... Is it just me or are we actually seeing two Legendary Ranger teams along with the legendary Race Bannon of the Quest Team together?" Amelia gasped in awe, recognizing the Beast Morphers and Jungle Fury teams and Adult Race.
"Yeah, and those two kids... Are they part of the Power Rangers Ultra Rescue we've been hearing much about?"
"The ones who saved the Galar Ranger from the Darkest Day, Eternatus?"
"And, who joined forces with the Beast Morphers rangers?" Aiyon, Izzy, and Javi commented in wonder.
"No way," Ollie gawked, unsure of what to say.
"They sure are! One of them is the Vulpix Ranger and the other is her brother and those are indeed Race Bannon, the Power Rangers Jungle Fury, and the Power Rangers Beast Morphers, amazing!" Solon breathed in fascination.
Clearing his throat after composing himself, Zayto began the call as he stepped forward and spoke, "Greetings, friends, Mr. Bannon, Commander Shaw. My name is Zayto, the leader of the Power Rangers Dino Fury. Let me just say, it is an honor to meet you all. We've heard much about your exploits over the years along with your endeavors with the Quest Team, Mr. Bannon."
"We're glad you were able to call us, Zayto. It's an honor to meet you and the rest of the Dino Fury Rangers, too," smiled Adult Race warmly.
"We share Race's sentiments in this matter, Zayto. It is an honor for us, in particular, to finally talk to you after hearing of your own struggles with Void Knight and the Sporix," Commander Shaw nodded in agreement.
"Same here, cool cats!" R.J concurred. "We've been hearing much about your crazy escapades with those beasts from Outer Space running amok at Pine Ridge, you're definitely gonna go places with your legend."
"Yes, it's an honor to finally meet you, Rangers. My name's Lillie and this is my big brother, Gladion," Lillie smiled, introducing herself and Gladion. "We're friends of our leader, Sarah Tomoe. And, we're glad you got our call because we need your help."
"And, I'll say the same. We've heard so much about you since we started to link our communications with the Ranger Hotline you've got set up if anybody needed your help. We know that there's no Sporix from where we are right now but this is too important for us to ignore and we need your help," Gladion agreed.
"We'll be glad to help you out. After all, we rangers have got to work and stick together through thick and thin," Zayto reassured warmly. "So, what seems to be the problem if there's no Sporix in your area?"
"You mentioned your friend, Sarah Tomoe, right, Lillie? Isn't she the leader of your Ultra Rescue team and the Lost Princess of Alola that everybody's been hearing about recently?" Izzy questioned curiously.
"Yes, she is. In fact, this also involves an enemy of theirs called Team Eclipse, a powerful new Pokemon syndicate led by her fallen uncle, Lothor, who was once the brother to her mother and father, King Doug and Queen Delilah. He was once banished for trying to kill Sarah when he tried to sell her off and frame her death on King Doug years ago but now, he's back and is currently Team Eclipse's leading authority," Devon confirmed, getting to the nitty-gritty of the matter.
Commander Shaw nodded in confirmation and explained further, "When we last heard from him, he and the rest of the Seven Sins have joined forces with Dr. Zin, an enemy of the Quest Team, to create an army of dragons captured from their homeworld and enslaved against their will via the use of the deadly Imperious Curse."
"When they least expected and after meeting with a couple of what are called Primal Pokemon that escaped from their clutches, they were brutally attacked and her friends safe for Lillie and Gladion were badly hurt," Casey added, he and the Jungle Fury rangers deciding to join in on the conversation.
"They managed to escape with help from us, our masters, and even, the unexpected arrival of the Quest Team and their feline friends, the Cat Pack," Theo went on.
"But, we were forced to split up in order to lose them and we've been trying to help our successors recover while teaching Lillie and Gladion and their Pokemon on improving their fighting so they and the rest of the Ultra Rescue rangers would stand a chance," Zoey said.
"Ash and the others were badly wounded along with their Pokemon but we're doing everything we can to get them pumped up again but we're running out of time as of late if Team Eclipse and Dr. Zin would be making their next move," Adult Race nodded.
The Dino Fury Rangers and Solon were astounded by what they've just heard in shock and horror as Javi first broke the silence, "Wow, talk about family drama cranked up all the way to 11..."
"That, I did not see coming. I don't think any of us can cope with that kind of thing, especially with Javi and I and Dad," gulped Izzy.
"And, if you all haven't done what you did to protect them from those fiends and their army, they would've been dead by now," breathed Aiyon, remembering when he was first shaken up in his first venture as leader of the Dino Fury Rangers in the wake of his and Zayto's strained friendship regarding the matter of the Sporix and what led to his rejoining the team after his reawakening.
"Okay, this is totally beyond a normal family feud if this Lothor guy really hates Sarah," Amelia admitted worriedly.
"But, wait, I thought Lothor was beaten and never heard from again after his and Mesagog's forces were beaten by the Dino Thunder and Ninja Storm Rangers," Ollie recounted.
"He did but remember, the Lothor we mentioned is Sarah's uncle from 500 years ago and he was meant to be the heir to his former parents' throne before Sarah came along and took his place," Dom reminded, recalling what the princess and her friends told her and the other Jungle Fury rangers.
"And, surprisingly, he was originally Donald Tomoe before he changed his name out of spite for his own niece and her former family just as Sensei Watanabe's brother, Kya, changed his name after his son, Cam, first beat him after he was discovered to have used Dark Ninja Powers to unlock the Samurai Amulet and obtain its power for himself when he went back in time to get it and become the Green Samurai Ranger from the Ninja Storm team," Lillie (Vulpix Ranger) informed.
Javi and Izzy looked at each other in surprise as they commented, "Wow, how original..."
"And, did Sarah and whoever joined her make it out ok?" Zayto inquired further.
Lily (Yellow Jungle Fury Ranger) nodded in confirmation, "She did, along with Race Konami, her family, the Primal Pokemon with her, the Cat Pack, the rest of the Quest Team, and the Jungle Masters got away safely while we and Race Bannon made our way to Palm Key, Florida to recover from the blows Lothor dealt to her friends."
Before the conversation could go any further, Mesprit suddenly teleported into the Quest Laboratory, surprising everybody in contact and giving the Dino Fury Rangers and Solon a scare as they jumped at the sight of the Lake Guardian of Emotion.
"What was that?!" gasped Aiyon in bewilderment.
"Oh, it's so adorable!" Amelia cooed.
"Is that another Pokemon?" blinked Ollie.
"Yes, it is. Lillie, dear, what kind of Pokemon is that? Is it one of those Legendary Pokemon we heard about?" asked Solon.
"Oh, that's Mesprit, one of the Sinnoh Lake Guardians. She watches over Lake Verity which is in Twinleaf Town, the home of one of Ash's old friends: Dawn," Lillie chuckled sweetly before she turned to the Lake Verity Guardian.
"How are you, Mesprit? What's going on?" she questioned, giving Mesprit a hug before the latter got to the heart of her appearance.
"We're all right, Lillie. Don't worry, we've regrouped with the princess' Viking friends and their dragon companions at Berk in the Barbaric Archipelago and we got them to help us with a plan of counterattack against Team Eclipse," Mesprit started to recollect as everyone else listened in with intrigue.
"Speaking of Team Eclipse, they invaded and tried to ambush us without warning but the princess managed to send them away with a new trick she learned from Raven. What's even better is that they've captured Mousey, Hakins, and Wolf, and took custody of their Pokemon once they've been turned into mini lop bunnies and after their partners were reincarnated into Pokemon eggs. This gave us the hail mary we needed against Lothor and his goons because we now have the Seven Sins down by three and without our prisoners back on their team, they'll be at less than full strength to fight us even if they do still have their army and Dr. Zin."
The three Power Ranger teams were in total admiration when they heard what went down with an astonished Ravi speaking out, "Whoa, no way! She actually did it, she's beaten three of the Seven Sins?"
"That's amazing! Three Sins down, four to go!" Zoey added, feeling immense relief over Team Eclipse losing three of its leaders.
"With Wolf and his stooges down, the odds should be in our favor now. There's four of them now and a whole army of us," Theo replied, glad to see that things are looking up for once in their entire endeavor.
"Even so, Lothor, Katzenberg, Ivanka, and Melania are still four too many," Mesprit countered.
"Melania's still as powerful as ever and she and the Singetail she commandeered still drove Mallow and all her Pokemon to the ground without even trying," Lillie nodded.
"Tell me about it, and Katzenberg was about to gang up on us until Race stepped in," Gladion agreed.
But before anybody else can continue the conversation let alone think of another plan, a dimensional portal opened up from behind Lillie, Gladion, Adult Race, and the Jungle Fury Rangers at Palm Key, drawing everyone's attention.
"Guys, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Izzy gasped, seeing the portal.
"Zayto, do you know what that looks like?" Aiyon questioned.
"It looks like a dimensional portal but where did it come from?" the Red Dino Fury Ranger answered, curious about the portal himself.
"Hold on a second, everybody, we know that portal!" Steel called, seeing something familiar about the portal.
"Wait, you're right, Steel! The last time my friends and I saw that portal, it was when some friends of ours crossed over to give us a hand with saving a friend of theirs and when we did the same to save them and their dinosaur dimension from Evox!" Lillie cried in realization, also recognizing the portal.
"Friends of yours, dinosaur dimension? Could it be those-?" Gladion began before a familiar team of six Power Rangers crossed over as Tyler, Shelby, Ivan, Chase, Riley, Koda, and Zenowing appeared sans Kendall, Phillip, and Tyler's father, James.
"Need help?" Tyler smiled.
"We'll be more than happy to lend you all our service, Lillie," greeted Zenowing, seeing the Vulpix Ranger.
"Tyler, Zenowing, guys!" Lillie cried in delight, running to the Dino Charge Rangers and hugging them happily.
"Are those really your friends?" Gladion breathed in awe, he and his Pokemon looking speechless.
"Great guns, those must be those other Power Rangers we've heard about in their legends!" Adult Race cried in astonishment.
"They must be the Dino Charge Rangers from the dimension that has dinosaurs and who fought against the creep known as Sledge and his minions for their power source: the Energems!" Solon said, lost in her own amazement.
"Another dino ranger team besides us? Emphasis on Dino Charge Fury!"
"Now, that's cool!" Amelia and Javi commented, also utterly amazed.
"Fascinating, I didn't know there were other Dino Power Rangers after we came along," Aiyon also noted, stunned from seeing his team's Legendary Ranger successors.
"Hope you don't mind us dropping in, the Morphin Grid gave our friend, Keeper, a message about Sarah and her team being in danger and we thought we'd drop by in your world to help them again," Shelby explained, taking notice of the Dino Fury Rangers. "By the way, we've heard all about you in our dimension and it's great to finally meet you guys."
"She's right, it's an honor to meet the Dino Fury Rangers even if it could've been at a better time. I'm Riley and these are Zenowing, Shelby, Tyler, Koda, and Chase," Riley nodded, taking care of the introductions.
Zayto nodded kindly before he replied, "My name's Zayto and these are my friends: Aiyon, Javi, Amelia, Izzy, Ollie, and Solon."
"But, what brought you back here from your dimension, Tyler?" Lillie questioned, still surprised.
"The Morphin Grid just alerted Keeper about you guys and Sarah and since it's gotten so bad with how Team Eclipse got you beat before you managed to escape with your new friends, we had to come and give you a hand again," the Red Dino Charge Ranger answered.
"And, it good thing we did decide to come," Koda concurred.
"You kids and Sarah often have a knack for getting yourselves into trouble, don't ya?" Shelby chuckled.
"It wasn't intentional!" Lillie pouted cutely, blushing as Gladion sniggered in amusement.
"Anyway, we're glad you came to help. If there's anyone that can help my sister and our friends out of this crazy jam, it'll be you and everyone else here," Gladion thanked, feeling grateful for the assistance before he turned to Mesprit. "You don't mind filling in for them on the whole gist of it, don't cha?"
"Nope. Okay, here's what happened but you're not going to like it: we've just learned that Dr. Zin was responsible for the creation of the Primal Pokemon including Hikari and her friends - six out of 500 genetically engineered Pokemon, in an army that specializes in dog-fighting to destroy the princess and her family along with some brainwashed dragons. To make matters worse, he's managed to build his own Zord called the Storm Bird and they and the remaining leaders of Team Eclipse are set to attack Alola in three days. The princess and her boyfriend are with Raven to get help as well before we mount a rescue attempt on that army."
The Dino Charge Rangers were stunned by what they heard from Mesprit as Ivan commented on his friends' behalf, "Egads...!"
"Told you you're not going to like it," Mesprit commented with a knowing nod with Gladion and Lillie also gawking in shock, horror, and disgust from the reveal.
"Dog-fighting?! That explains why Hikari and her friends had all those bumps, bruises, and cuts on them when we found them in the old clearing back at Oceanside City!" Lillie gasped, horrified.
"Sounds like they wanted to make weapons out of all those Pokemon and dragons they have in their ranks. With an army made of up of 1000 Pokemon and dragons working for those creeps and Dr. Zin, Alola doesn't have a chance against that much firepower," Gladion remarked darkly.
"I can't believe that!"
"This Dr. Zin character's not going to make this easy for us!"
"He gives scientists like Kendall and Dr. Quest a bad rep," Riley, Chase, and Shelby commented, also in shock and disbelief.
"Whatever the case, Dr. Zin truly is a dangerous force to be reckoned with. With how he's amassing this army of his and Team Eclipse's and having primed his own Zord for battle, this is going to be the biggest challenge any of us has ever faced," Zenowing said to everybody grimly.
"I agree, what he and Team Eclipse are doing is totally inhuman!"
"Not cool, at all!"
"I never thought somebody like those guys could even exist!"
"That doesn't make any sense and they shouldn't have treated those dragons and Pokemon like that!" Izzy, Javi, Amelia, and Ollie replied in agreement.
"Three days? That doesn't give us much time to come up with a counterattack against that army and deal with that new Zord of his," Casey frowned.
"And, three days is not much time for us to mount a full rescue attempt for those Pokemon and dragons trapped under Team Eclipse and Dr. Zin's control. I'm also worried about what'll happen if they decide to pull a fast one on us without warning," Zayto agreed.
"Basically, we're stuck between a rock and a hard place, literally. We'll need to come up with a plan that allows us to rescue all those poor Pokemon and dragons while combating Zin and Team Eclipse's army so we'll all be pulled in two different directions until then," Solon summarized as everyone tried to wrap their heads around the severity of the situation before them.
"Is there anything Zin didn't know about us that Lothor has yet to tell him, Race?" Lillie questioned the former Intelligence-1 agent.
"Well, not much from what we can see. But, knowing Zin and how he can sometimes be one step ahead of me, the boys, and Dr. Quest, he's also tipped off about your friend's prehistoric companions and he'll likely make reinforcements from such creatures should he be given something from Cawthorn's lab if Lothor and his circus troupe salvage anything that could be useful to them," Adult Race replied.
"Whatever Zin and Lothor have and are planning to throw at you guys, we're in."
"We'll do whatever we can to help."
"Together," Izzy, Aiyon, and Zayto said, Solon, Amelia, Ollie, and Javi nodding in agreement.
"We'll join you to help out, too," Devon agreed as Steel, Ravi, Zoey, and Nate nodded.
"Count us in, too," Dom replied, getting nods from his fellow rangers.
"Before we begin, however... Zayto, there's something we want to ask you and your fellow rangers about," Commander Shaw pointed out, drawing Zayto and the Dino Fury team's attention.
"What is it you want to ask us, Commander?" Zayto replied, ready to answer.
"Lillie, could you bring the sabers and their keys here for our new friends to see?" Commander Shaw asked the Vulpix Ranger who nodded and hurried off to get her and her friends' new weapons. "Sarah and her godfather have come across these sabers that looked like your Chromafury Sabers while they were in Adventure City but with one distinct difference that sets the ones they found apart."
"Here they are, what do you think?" Lillie called, returning with her, Ash, Mallow, Kiawe, Sophocles, and Lana's Chromafury Sabers and the chest containing the keys for them and showing them to the shocked Dino Fury Rangers as they gawked at the new swords.
"Whoa! Are those really Chromafury Sabers?"
"That's crazy!"
"And, is that box really full of keys for them?"
"That can't be!" Ollie, Izzy, Amelia, and Javi gawked.
"And, they're all shaped after Pokemon," Aiyon gasped in astonishment. "Zayto, what do you think it means? Do the Morphin Masters know anything about this?"
"I don't know. I also think the Morphin Masters themselves know nothing about those sabers, too, but I can't be too sure," Zayto answered before he turned to Solon for answers. "Got any clue about how those sabers came to be, Solon?"
"I've no idea, I've never seen weapons like them before and the five original Chromafury Sabers you and your friends have and Aiyon's Mosa Blade and Mosa Blaster are the only weapons in our arsenal we know of in addition to the Power Keys. And, those new keys are a mystery to me," the Solonosaurus answered, equally puzzled before she turned to Lillie. "But, it won't hurt if we could take a quick look at them. Lillie, would you and your brother mind bringing them over to Dinohedge so I can take a closer look at them?"
"No, not at all, we'll bring them right over. I'll also need to call Tsukumaro and Sarah to join you so they can understand our new sabers and Power Keys more," the Vulpix Ranger nodded.
"Thanks, Solon. With what little time we have before our big battle, anything's worth a try if we're going to turn the tide in our favor and keep Dr. Zin and Team Eclipse off our backs," Gladion thanked.
"We owe you and the rest of the Dino Fury team for this hail mary," Devon replied in agreement.
"Aww, shucks. I'm just glad we'll be able to give you answers to those new keys and sabers and to give you a leg-up against those fiends. They're just as bad as the Sporix, if not, worse and you could really do with the help."
"We'll come with you to give you a hand in examining those sabers and the keys," Tyler offered, getting Solon's approval as she hummed with a nod.
"It's a good thing Mother and her team put the teleportation ability into our Wrist Coms. I can have us there in a jiffy," Lillie said.
"Good idea, Lillie. Whenever you're ready, meet up with us at the Isle of Berk in the Barbaric Archipelago; it's out of the way between Europe and Greenland," Mesprit announced with a knowing nod. "The others and I already told Sarah's Viking friends that Jarrod, Camille, and Masters Swoop, Phant, and Finn are old friends of her real parents to keep them in the dark. It shouldn't be too much of a hassle doing the same with you guys given Ivan and Koda have their own unique backgrounds."
"Let's hope they don't get too suspicious about our true purpose and about King Doug and Queen Delilah. Who knows what'll happen to them if they are in the know-how about what really happened to them and if they try to prod us for details?" Nate prayed.
"We'll think of something, Nate. I hope," Lillie reassured.
"We'll all meet up with you at Dinohedge as soon as possible," Commander Shaw nodded.
"Right. Be careful, you guys," Zayto replied before everyone's three-way call soon ended.
"Well, that's that. Hopefully, we'll be ready before the war against Team Eclipse, Dr. Zin, and their army in the next three days," Lily (Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger) sighed in relief.
"It's a good thing we got you guys and both the Beast Morphers and Dino Fury teams on everything," Mesprit agreed, feeling the same. "Given there are currently no sightings of these Sporix things at Pine Ridge at the moment, we're glad to have gotten in touch with Zayto and his friends as we did."
"It's best if we make haste for Pine Ridge immediately. We've not much time before the war against our enemies and we have much to do," Zenowing reminded everybody, knowing what they must do.
"We'll make sure to get you two and your new weapons to Pine Ridge and meet up with the Dino Fury Rangers at Dinohedge as soon as we can," Shelby noted to Lillie and Gladion.
"And, if Ash and the others aren't able to wake up in time beforehand?" Theo questioned.
"They will, we just need to play the waiting game and hold out for long enough until then," R.J. told his fellow master and everyone else. "As I'm sure we all know and learned throughout some point in our lives, 'Patience is a virtue'."
"Yeah, we're not going to be ready for Lothor, his army, and Dr. Zin in three days' time going in a panic over this mess. We have to keep a cool head and remain calm while we get everything ready with Devon, Zayto, and the others," Casey agreed.
"Guess that's my cue to get back. Good luck out there, everybody," Mesprit sighed in reassurance as she prepared to teleport back to Berk.
"Take it easy, Mesprit," Dom replied as the Emotion Pokemon left.
"Race, will you-?" Lillie requested for Adult Race who nodded knowingly.
"Don't worry, Lillie. Your friends will be fine, I'll look after them and give them a hand when they wake up. As Solon and Zayto mentioned earlier, you'll be needing all the help you can get and we're running out of time as it is."
"We'll stay and give Race a hand in training them," Lily requested as she, R.J., and Dom joined Adult Race before she looked at Theo and Casey. "Theo, Casey, do you think you can train Lillie with her Chromafury Saber?"
"We'll do what we can," Casey replied with Theo nodding in agreement.
"Thank you," Lillie nodded gratefully.
And, with that, she configured her new coordinates for group teleportation to Pine Ridge, Theo, Casey, and Gladion with Silvally, Umbreon, Snowy, and Lycanroc joining them as they took the new Chromafury Sabers and Power Keys and left, leaving Adult Race, Lily, Dom, and R.J. to look after the others and give them a hand with their own training. They can only hope they would be able to improve and they would all grow stronger in three days' time before they and all their allies, old and new, would do what they must to protect Alola and the world from Lothor and Dr. Zin's army.
Meanwhile, back in Jump City, as Race was going through some training rounds with Cyborg and Robin, Sarah, Raven, and Twoie, were looking up the Sun Princess' notes on the Deathgripper dragon species for any details about their venom. They poured through each of them as they searched for the first clues to develop a cure to counter its effects that they can make use of, hoping to make the antidote she and her family and friends need to break the brainwashed dragons free from her fallen uncle and Dr. Zin's grasp. Starfire and Beast Boy, in the meantime, tried to work out what plan of attack they and the other Teen Titans and their allies would have to break out as the first line of attack and so on.
"These notes say that the venom of the Deathgrippers is told to possess neurotoxins which explain the paralyzing effects of the first sting. Many creatures who have been hit by this have had to go through similar effects whenever bitten or stung. Then, the second sting kills by shooting their nerves and receptors and makes their hearts stop beating," the demon wolf noted.
"So, that means the venom's mind-controlling effects are caused by its paralyzing toxin hitting the cerebral cortex of the brains of the Deathgrippers. It removed their ability to make their own decisions and choices of their own free will and thinking. This would essentially make them slaves if that part of their brain shuts down which Lothor and Team Eclipse and Dr. Zin exploited after doing a little digging of their own," Raven replied, scrounging Sarah's notes.
She then poured over what they've written down upon finding those details and more on how to start making the antidote, "In order to counter its effects and cancel them altogether, we must make it powerful enough to restore the function of their cerebral cortexes to full strength so they regain their ability to make their own decisions and choose what to do freely. We'll also need to repair any residual effects and damage done in the process through the use of pure alchemy. Sarah, do you or your godfather know what else can be used to cure such a poison?"
"Well, from what he told me, he said that there's a potion called the Antidote to Uncommon Poisons that can cure even the deadliest poisons in the Wizarding World and the Dragon Tonic Potion can heal sick dragons," Sarah began, trying to recall everything Tsukumaro taught her about magic from the Wizarding World during her private lessons with him. "With the right ingredients needed to make them and if they're brewed properly, they'll be enhanced to restore the dragons' cerebral cortexes and heal any mental or never damage made from long-term exposure in one shot."
"Sounds like step one to me," Twoie remarked.
Later, after helping to set up Raven's potions kit, Sarah then conjured up the following ingredients for the Wizarding World's Dragon Tonic Potion and the Antidote to Uncommon Poisons: an Eagle Owl feather, three peacock feathers, three Giant Purple Toad warts, Fire Seeds, Billywig Stings, Chizpurful Carapaces, and the horn of a Graphorn.
They created the antidote as carefully as they could, managing to conjure up the Antidote to Uncommon Poisons and the Dragon Tonic Potions as best they could according to the instructions Tsukumaro had given her granddaughter months prior. Once they were finished, they added a pinch of the Deathgripper Venom to both of them as they then combined the potions before enhancing the final result with Episkey, the liquid inside the vial turning bright yellow.
"Well, that should do it," Raven smiled, examining their work.
"I've never tried something so complicated as combining both potions before. How or where did you learn to do it?" Sarah asked Raven as she was handed the new vial.
"I've poured through many books on how to combine these things for whatever effects they provided. This particular one is from an old tome I used to read amongst many in my collection, one that once held someone whom I thought as a friend. But, I won't bore you with that; with the Antidote and Dragon Tonic added along with Episkey, it should be enough to cure those brainwashed dragons who are affected by the venom. Even while I'm alone, sometimes I don't have much to do but read the tomes given to me from the Monks of Azaroth."
"Well, that takes care of our Deathgripper troubles so I think it's time we figure out how to cancel the Imperius Curse," the little princess nodded.
"You never cease to amaze me, Sarah; I'm surprised you know the basics of making your own spells," Twoie admitted in admiration as they began on the Imperius Curse counter. "Creating them to cancel and/or neutralize any of the Unforgiveable Curses through love and hope is not an easy feat and normally impossible but you've managed to do that with your grandparents."
Sarah blinked in surprise before she admitted, "Okay, that I didn't know..."
Twoie just nodded, "The Dark Arts are powerful but even they have their limits so your uncle only knows how limited they are and not what else can be used against him."
"So, if Lothor tries his Dark Magic or the Killing Curse on me, my Light of Hope will just cancel it out," Sarah mused thoughtfully. "I guess that could make me something of a Mary Sue if anything with how the writers are going about with me and my friends."
"I doubt it; if you really were a Mary Sue, you would've cared less about others besides your own personal health and prowess and you wouldn't be in this position right now with the direction they're taking your story in," Raven rebutted.
"That's true..."
"It also helps that your Phoenix Spirit from Faraji made Avada Kedavra null and void should he target you with it; you got yourself a hidden trump card that he knows little of or nothing about. Phoenixes are said to be immortal and are capable of being reborn time and time again after dying so if you should die from the Killing Curse should Lothor use it, you won't die as brutally as your grandparents had under his hand before," Twoie added.
"...Right, I get it now," sighed the princess, now more understanding of her hidden plight.
"Whenever you're ready, Sarah," Raven announced, getting a nod from the Sun Princess as they worked to develop the counter for the Imperius Curse.
Getting into position and bringing out her wand and the scriptures from her godfather on the exact wand movements for spells, recalling her lessons on using her wand while Raven sets up a Spellbinding Circle, Sarah created three new spells that will allow the heroes to truly combat the Unforgivable Curses through her Love Magic and Light of Hope, the first of their kind. They were known as the Three Healing Blessings which are as follows:
- Nullus Imperium (Mind Blessing), releases victims of unquestioned bidding/mind control indefinitely
- Vita (Life-Bringing Blessing), counters/negates the Killing Curse and revives people or creatures from death/near-death
- Rursus (Relive Blessing), relieves victims of pain given to them via the Torture Curse
"That works as long as you know the risks involved with these spells. Now, to make sure they work," Twoie said, using a piece of chalk to draw a Pentacle, the five-point star, with each point marking four classic elements in addition to a fifth via a pentagram, contained within a circle that housed a symbol called a Celtic Shield Knot on the floor.
"What are those symbols for?" the princess inquired, looking over the ritual symbols.
"These are part of your Nephilim Ritual for your new Nephilim Physiology; once you've gone through this ritual, you'll be given Angel DNA and it'll be merged with your Lion DNA as well as your Solgaleo DNA and ad more power to your Lion's Courage apart from the Roar of the Elders," Raven explained, placing her Book of Azar with the Nephilim incantation she wanted on her bed. "This ritual will make sure that there won't be any side effects that could cripple you and your powers once your Nephilim Physiology has been established so you won't be compromised in battle."
"Therefore, the Pentacle drawn here will ensure that whatever powers we give you as well as your Solar and Lunar Magic don't grow out of control from the additional fusion. This Celtic Shield Knot will protect you from any power or magic overloads and will ensure that you retain your normal behavior while remaining in full control of your powers."
"What should I do?"
"Simple; just stand on the shield knot in the center and give us your weapons and your heirlooms. Let us do the rest," Raven instructed, allowing Sarah to give her parents' heirlooms, her Dragon Heart Scepter, and satchels to her and Twoie, the only exception being the Twilight Amulet.
"...Okay, I'm ready," Sarah called once she was in position.
Raven and her demon wolf counterpart nodded as they both began the ritual, Raven activating the symbols on the ground as they glowed and their hands and paws become coated in white energy before they fired it at the symbols flowing around the little princess.
"Angelus lucis factus est terminus tenebris cum futura pugnat (Become an Angel of Light to end the Darkness with future fights)!"
Upon both Teen Titan and Demon Wolf reciting the required incantation, the symbols hovering around the little princess started to spin slowly before picking up speed until they became blurs from spinning so fast and she was enveloped in a tube of light. When she opened her eyes and looked around, Sarah found herself in a landscape that looked awfully familiar to Zekrom's Dreamscape, and yet, it didn't seem to be that Dreamscape, either.
"...Hey, where am I? And, how did I get back to Zekrom's Dreamscape?" she pondered in confusion, viewing her current surroundings.
"Not quite, dear child."
"Or, would we prefer to call you as well as your Night Fury and Light Fury, our successors or heirs, per say?" two unknown yet regal, majestic, and kind voices rang out from behind her.
Sarah wheeled around to the source of the voices and saw before her two beings which were a human and a dragon; the human was a woman in her late 40s in all white clothing that had a spiritual blue hue that faded from the middle until it reached her blue shawl drapes and the dragon with her stood at 647'11" in length and 160' in height that housed a pair of giant tusks protruding from both sides of its head similar to the tusks of a fully-grown male elephant.
The humongous dragon even had a face in a flat near-hominid shape and it had a wide mouth with a pink interior that had somewhat flexible lips, two large eyes, and a collection of short vibrating spikes that looked like a set of antennae around the eyes. Another set of spikes amidst a large flaring crown is present on the back of its head while some irregularly-sized spikes continued along the breadth of its shoulders before dwindling down to a single row trailing along the back and dorsal aspect of the tail. It was a Bewilderbeast, the most powerful dragon known to all Vikings and the King of Dragons.
Sarah was enthralled and speechless from what she saw but before she could utter a single word, she was interrupted when she heard, "Ponchita/Princess/Baby?"
Sarah wheeled around behind her again and the little princess was shocked to find out that barring her boyfriend and her real parents, she was not the only one with them as her entire family was with her in the new realm.
"Mom, Dad? Tsukumaro, Granny, Gramps?" she gawked, stumbling back a few steps. "What are you all doing here?" "That's what we want to know," James admitted, shrugging.
"What's going on, Sarah?"
"Where are we?"
"Mom, this doesn't look anything like Berk or home, huh?"
"Princess, what is the meaning of this? Who's the one responsible for hijacking us here?" Camo, Echo, Star, and Calyrex asked, wanting answers.
"Look, I'm not the one you should be asking 'cause I have no idea what happened, either. But, these two over there would know what," Sarah admitted, pointing to the woman and the dragon before them.
"YAH! What's going on here?!"
"BIG DRAGON!"
"A dragon, just like us!"
"It's huge!"
"Jumbo-sized!" Hashimoto, the baby Jungle Pokemon, Dart, Pouncer, and Ruffrunner screamed, shocked and terrified by the new human and Bewilderbeast.
"Princess, I don't understand. Is this Zekrom's Dreamscape as before?" Virizion puzzled, looking around in confusion. "This feels too strange to be his Dreamscape and I don't see Zekrom anywhere. If he was here, there would've been strings of lightning raining down on us by now and without warning," Terrakion put in.
"No, you're right, Terrakion; it is not my brother's dimension. The energy waves that I'm sensing here and that are coming from those two do not share his power," Reshiram countered, eying the Bewilderbeast and the woman suspiciously.
"Darling, is that what I think it is?!"
"It is! So, it does exist! The most powerful alpha dragon of all time, the Bewilderbeast!" Shadow and Winter gasped, shocked.
"What's going on, where are we?"
"Who was the one that brought us here in the first place?" David and Donna questioned.
"Don't ask, Granny, Gramps. I don't have all the answers," Sarah replied, unsure how to answer.
"Welcome, friends. Your young ones responsible for protecting your child were losing a great battle that'll lead to the first of two wars in your world, the first that's about to come your way in three days' time and later once your greatest foe unleashes his wrath at his full strength," the Bewilderbeast noted.
"You are all brought here to the Spirit Realm or The Bardo, the spiritual border between life and death where the spirits of warriors and dragons long since past come for a chance to redeem yourselves and prove to us that you're more than meets the eye," the woman added.
"...I don't understand," Amber puzzled.
"And, who are you two?" Tai Lung questioned.
"Like, what are you?" Solar put in.
"I am King Blizzard, 1/2 of the previous rules of the Barbaric Archipelago and co-creator of the Dragonstone Kingdom from a millennia ago."
"And, I am his queen: Queen Athi," the woman and Bewilderbeast, now revealed to be Queen Athi and King Blizzard, proclaimed.
"Dragonstone Kingdom?" the dragons chorused.
"Previous co-rulers of the Barbaric Archipelago?" Keldeo blinked.
"What does that mean?" Poipole asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"I've never heard of that kingdom before," Solar admitted.
"Every kingdom has its story, just as your own kingdom did," Queen Athi smiled, waving her hands and showing everyone gathered what the Barbaric Archipelago was like a millennia ago via an illusion.
Before it became what it is today in Sarah's world, the Barbaric Archipelago was a relatively peaceful and thriving paradise as it had over 75 dragon species during that time such as Night Furies, Buffalords, Dramillions, and Light Furies. But, it was also home to what is known as Western Dragons and other foreign dragon breeds.
"Years ago, long before the Vikings took over and called it their own through the land they dubbed as 'Berk', this land was a sanctuary for dragons of all sorts including the Night Furies and Light Furies you're familiar with through two of our successors. Athi and I ruled our beloved kingdom fairly and justly with no trouble, dragons of all kinds from across the globe that had gathered lived together in friendship, cooperation, love, trust, and harmony between them and the humans," Blizzard explained as they all eyed the illusion before he then looked to Sarah, Shadow, and Winter.
"No conflicts were possible under our reign as we worked hard to maintain the peace between humanity and the dragons as best we can; Athi took the reigns for the safety and salvation of humanity while I was responsible for my fellow dragons as the original alpha, just as you three are doing now ever since you've annihilated the accursed Red Death queen. Together, with us by their side, humanity and the dragons continued to live in harmony with the island, Berk, made into their island home yet it wasn't originally called Berk but rather, it was known to one and all at that time by its original name, Dragonstone Island. The dragons thrived as well as the humans with no disease, no famine, no conflict..."
Athi then waved her right hand as she changed the illusion to reveal an island beyond the borders of the Barbaric Archipelago which was at an elevation of 52,000 ft. above sea level, being double or triple the size of Berk or the Four Islands of Alola. Across the new island, a huge array of foliage from vines to various types of pine trees, multiple fields of green, waterfalls, thick forest, and beaches with a diverse variety of plant life were present in addition to mountain lakes situated further inward with their own sandy beaches and some rocks were rimming the shoreline and/or submerged in the water.
There were even snow-capped mountains situated on one side of the island and the dense forests and crumbling blanks rested on the other side, the waterfalls connecting to the various freshwater lakes and ponds scattered across it, all of which were loaded with different kinds of fish. Sweeping grass meadows that had slightly rolling hills running amongst them were situated on the front of the island and as it was so high above sea level, throughout its entire parameter, the island was surrounded by massive cliffs as the wind and water both had managed to carve a few caves and some natural arches into the rocky structure.
On either side of the island, at an elevation of 10,000 ft. above sea level, two large continents were also situated in it, both of which are detailed in the shape of dragons; the first of the two, on the right/eastern side of the new island, being of a four-legged dragon spreading its wings proudly while the dragon on the west/left side looked as though it was curving up into the air like it was flying to a higher altitude.
"It's amazing..." Solar gasped as everyone sans Athi and Blizzard looked on in fascination and amazement.
"I didn't know there was something like that in the archipelago," Cufant cooed, giving off a small whistle and trumpet of surprise.
"Fascinating, those continents on either side of the island must have some connection with the dragons still remaining in Berk, or rather 'Dragonstone Island', and this was long before the Vikings claimed it as their own," Kommo-o remarked in amazement. "But, why are they shaped like that, what's happened?"
"My boy, those two islands are known as the Lost Continent and the Distant Kingdoms. Both islands have housed dragons that once roamed the earth at least over 1000 years ago and they still remain to this day but without the Vikings' knowledge," Blizzard replied sagely as Athi created another illusion that brought them closer to the citizens and the dragons as they observed.
The Vikings in the illusions shared with the dragons the abundance of nature around them; they shared its food with them, worked hand-in-hand and claw-in-claw to care for their young, shared knowledge of what they know about their own species together, even crafting equipment such as saddles, weapons, and armor together. "Color me impressed, big guy," Terrakion admitted with a whistle.
"I thought things were peaceful in Pikachu Valley back home but this is just phenomenal," Sirius blinked in surprise.
"It's as if the Dragon Wars we've heard about from our son and his crew never happened," Donna (Pikachu) added. Everyone else in Sarah's family including the princess herself couldn't help but agree as they marveled at the sight before them even though it was nothing but an illusion in the Spirit Realm Queen Athi conjured up.
"I remember, it was paradise before the Dragon Wars destroyed it all," Shadow said, trailing off as he witnessed the original state of his and his fellow dragons' original homeworld.
"Is this what it looked like back then?" Spike asked, he and the other younger dragons all left mesmerized and wide-eyed by the state of the older dragon's homeworld in the illusion.
"Yes, it is..." Charger blissfully replied.
"The Distant Kingdoms are comprised of six lands that vary in terms of geography, their wildlife ecosystems, and abundance of plant life within them: the Ice Kingdom, the Sand Kingdom, the Sky Kingdom, the Earth/Mud Kingdom, the Rainforest Kingdom, and the Sea Kingdom. The inhabitants said to have resided within them are of a similar species known as Pyrrhia Dragons but split into six types to show their allegiance to their designated kingdoms: Ice - IceWings; Sand - SandWings; Sky - SkyWings; Mud - MudWings; Rainforest - RainWings; Sea - SeaWings. Each of the aforementioned dragons inhabited a specific kingdom within the confines of the continent," King Blizzard nodded to them.
Then, Dart, Pouncer, Ruffrunner, Zorya, and Hawkeye took notice of another tribe of dragons that stood out to them; these dragons had straight horns, dragon scales in shades of black, dark green, blue, or purple, and silver-scaled wings (with their scales scattered on them as if they're twinkling stars in different nighttime patterns).
"Mr. Blizzard, Sir?" Dart asked, getting Blizzard's attention. "What dragons are those?"
"They're nothing like us or Mom and Dad and that's saying a lot," Pouncer agreed.
"Yeah, they're with Mommy and Daddy's kind. What kind of dragons are they?" Ruffrunner quizzed with a yawn.
"NightWings - the most secretive of the dragon tribes, living only in the Night Kingdom over on the Sand Kingdom's Talon Pennisula in its southern region. An aura of spooks and mystery constantly exudes from them and out of all of the dragon tribes in both lands, they are more technologically advanced with them studying many of the topics humans learned, topics that your friends taught to the Vikings back then, including geography, metalworks, biology, chemistry, and genetics," Queen Athi answered on Blizzard's behalf.
"You're kidding!"
"They actually studied genetics and chemistry and the Dragons back then taught those subjects to them?" Nikki's Lucario and James' Dragonite spluttered in disbelief.
"The Vikings back then were really that intelligent?" Solar asked, baffled.
"Amazing, I didn't think there were any knowledgeable Vikings around apart from Gobbler back in Berk with what knowledge he once had about the dragons before we came along," Keldeo commented.
"As you can see, the inhabitants of the Lost Continent's grasslands and savanna biome are known as Pantala Dragons which were split into three types: SilkWings, LeafWings, and HiveWings," Blizzard continued. "Back then, the Vikings cared not for pride, reputation, and honor. The dragons and people they shared the world with are their main concern."
"It's amazing, Blizzard..." Sarah breathed again, mesmerized by the illusion of the Lost Continent before seeing the aforementioned dragons.
"I gotta admit, I envy those Vikings and the dragons living there," Haxorus admitted with a rhy smile.
"They all look so happy being together before the Dragon Wars tore the world apart," Sokka nodded in agreement.
"I never knew how literate and knowledgable Vikings like those guys really were back then," added Wyveon, impressed. "So, they're not a pack of dumbots who are out for blood and crowing like roosters about their Viking pride, after all..."
"This, this is the kind of world we're hoping to help the princess establish today," Totem Marowak smiled warmly.
"It's true," Hydro nodded.
"With her help, we might be able to achieve to a new paradise we can officially call home," Hurricane replied.
"Everyone back then understood the meaning of living in harmony under the same sky and the same sun, the Circle of Life," Reshiram put in sagely. "Before the Dragon Wars, the world that Shadow and his fellow dragons once called home wasn't as divided as it was now."
"You're right, there was a time when us dragons and humanity did live together in cooperation and harmony." "Things were much simpler back then, until the Dragon Wars changed all of that, forever," Shadow and Winter added, stunned by the previous history of their homeworld before they and the other dragons felt a twinge of sorrow over the difficult circumstances that forced them to leave once the Dragon Wars took place.
"Hmph. So, those horned dorks aren't all brawn and no brain years ago, huh? Big deal," Eternatus scoffed sarcastically as he turned away with a huff.
"It's hard for me to believe all of this," Camo admitted as he and Rosa nuzzled each other.
"We and the world back then are the proof you need, we represent the peak of its bond between dragons and humanity in our day," Blizzard reassured.
"I never thought Vikings back them could be so intelligent, booksmart, and street smart," Flo sighed, feeling the affair bittersweet.
"They were actually likeable in those days," Reignstorm said.
"Sucks that the Dragon Wars completely flipped them on their heads," Sunflare butted in.
"Yeah, I can't stand them going about their pride day in and day out each time they come across us dragons and kill us with no remorse," Charger huffed.
"Ditto." "Right," Big Buff and Puff nodded reluctantly.
"So, that's it, huh?"
"All they have left of themselves now is pride and honor."
"Intelligence is thrown out the window and in comes the life of a ruffian for those scoundrels."
"Pity, really," Danny, Danielle, Espeon, and Vaporeon frowned pitifully.
"Oh, how the mighty have fallen," Jolteon commented, giving off a small spit to the side after remembering how the Vikings of Berk were like prior to family's adventure with Hiccup, Toothless, Stryka, and Zenna.
"I wonder how Sir Hiccup, Ms. Zenna, and their fellow Vikings would react when they discover what we've learned about their world's fallen kingdom," Tsukumaro pondered.
"I'm sure they're going to have a lot of questions after freaking out about it once we tell them what we know now, Old Man," James replied knowingly.
"Indeed, things back then were a far cry to what they are now. Throughout our time, humans and dragons alike are capable of learning and using Dragon Magic including the most powerful and ancient form of magic known throughout our kingdom as Animus Magic," nodded Blizzard as he went on again. "This magic allowed them a limitless amount of possibilities including moving objects and other dragons while enchanting inanimate objects, plans, animals, and dragons to do whatever they please."
"Wow/No way/Really/Sweet/Neato/Awesome/Cool/Whoa!" the baby Pokemon and dragons gasped until Tsukumaro blinked and gawked in shock over the whole concept.
"...But, but-! That is impossible! Magic is not something to be trifled with in a reckless manner!" he spluttered indignantly, still in shock. "There are rules, side effects, limitations that all witches and wizards must be aware of!"
"I hate to say it but during that era, the Vikings back then wouldn't have known this, Old Man. And, since they didn't have those rules at the time, their magic would've worked the same way," replied Keldeo grimly, frowning.
"It is most disturbing when we found out that Vikings, at the age of four, start to learn combat by practicing using crossbows," Cobalion added knowingly, leaving Tsukumaro to sigh and give a knowing nod.
Athi just chuckled as she said, "Do forgive them for giving you such thoughts, Sir. I'm sure it was not with malicious intent for them; mostly, everyone at the time used their magic to help others in need and to retain their hope and love for dragons. With our magic, love, and friendship at hand, we've created powerful artifacts known simply as Dragon Gifts for the benefit of the kingdom. The most powerful of them were known as the Six Spirits of Harmony, being as follows: Order, Life, Luck, Knowledge, Prosperity, Peace... All of those elements have beneficial powers that enabled their assistance to rule the kingdom and keep the ongoing peace between everybody intact and this was meant to be continued even after they crossed over into the Bardo."
"But, who or what are those Six Spirits, exactly?" Solar inquired, prompting Blizzard and Athi to create another illusion, this time showing the creation of the Six Spirits of Harmony.
"These are the creatures we've created to ensure that the balance we strove for would be maintained," began Blizzard, first showing them a female Griffon similar to Gallus but having white feathers on its head and neck, a golden brown body, bright yellow talons, paws, front claws, and a black tuff at the end of its tail.
"The Spirit of Order, Ashia the Griffon."
A female ShiShi followed suit, having azure blue eyes and looking identical to Shauku and Furaha yet her paws were a pure, snowy shade of white. "The Spirit of Peace, Nuraiah the ShiShi."
Next, a male Jui Wei Wu came into view which stood at about Shauku and Furaha's massive size and also had piercing, silver eyes and golden tips on his nine tails, "The Spirit of Life, Rajhu the Jui Wei Wu."
A male Hippogriff came into being with gold eyes and was beige all over safe for its white talons and wing feathers and having a leaf-like crest on his head. "The Spirit of Prosperity and the noblest Element, Zjhiben the Hippogriff."
Then, there was an adult female Qilin who liked like a deer but with her back covered with golden bronze scales and lime-green eyes that are a similar shade to the grass on a bright sunny day. "The Spirit of Luck, Jhayli the Qilin."
And, finally, a large male quadrupedal dragon labeled as a Sun Dragon took his place, being double the size of Drogon and Zephyr (460 feet in length with 420 foot long wingspan) but with plum purple eyes and wing membranes, amber scales, rose-tinted red wings, and a light underside. He also sported red fur tuffs on his elbows and tail, dark brown claws, and horns that resembled rays of sunlight in addition to a snowy white mane above his neck. "And, finally, there is the Spirit of Knowledge and the wisest of the Elements, Sol the Sun Dragon."
"We are at your service, Masters!" the Six Elements saluted, bowing to Athi and Blizzard.
"Whoa/Holy-/No way/Unreal/That's-/Are those-/They're the Six Elements/No/Wow?!" Sarah and her family gasped.
"Are those six creatures really what you call the 'Six Spirits of Harmony'?"
"They're fascinating!" Donna (former queen) and David commented, gobsmacked.
Blizzard chuckled as he then said, "Yes, they're quite a marvel. Together, they patrolled the kingdom to uphold the balance of nature and whenever something is out of hand, they'd warn us on the spot. The two of us and our kingdom owed much of its success centuries ago to them."
He then frowned darkly as he went on, "As time passed, however, we started to grow concerned; amongst many people, there will always be unsavory types that would trespass upon our grounds and use our beloved subjects and magic for warfare and their own gain. To protect everyone we loved, we decided to create a powerful magical object called the Dragon Heart Scepter that contained our Dragon Magic and with it, seven crystals known as the Seven Animus Gems containing our Animus Magic. The gems can be inserted into the engravings of each dragon class found in the scepter, granting its owner their very magic."
As he spoke, Athi created yet another illusion that showed her and Blizzard consulting with one another about the possibility of potential crooks and fiends that could take advantage of the great peace they and the Six Spirits worked hard to maintain. In agreement with each other, they combined their magic to create a golden scepter which threw everyone gathered for a loop as they (sans Donna and David and everyone else that knew nothing of their family's Berk escapades) recognized it as the very same Dragon Heart Scepter that the Twilight Amulet bestowed upon the little princess following their first misadventure at Berk with Hiccup, Zenna, and their best friends.
"Mother, that staff! Tell me that doesn't look like the Dragon Heart Scepter your measly little jewel gave you!" Silvally spluttered in shock.
"But, how?" gasped Flystorm, gawked.
"That can't be a coincidence!" Skystorm balked, goggle-eyed.
"Is it really that same scepter you guys told us about?" Amber cried in surprise.
"But, if that's the Dragon Heart Scepter, then that means-!" Tsukumaro began, turning to Sarah and making her realize something before she quickly took out said scepter out of her satchel and brought it out for Blizzard and Athi to see.
"Is this it?!" she asked.
Athi and Blizzard smiled with knowing nods as the former said, "Yes, our kingdom's treasure is now yours."
"That wasn't really a coincidence! It's as if the Dragon Heart Scepter has a mind of its own because of that and it chose you to wield it!" Keldeo breathed in fascination.
"Unreal!"
"Crazy!"
"No, more like 'creepy'! How did it know she was meant to have it?" Skylar, Sirius, and Bambi said, still reeling.
"Your Highness, Sir Blizzard, what do you mean by that?" Tsukumaro asked curiously.
"So, your scepter wasn't just a gift given to our baby girl at random as we found out?" David quizzed.
"The scepter is indeed a sentient object because of our magic and as you've discovered, it does have a mind of its own through bonding with one who is pure of heart," Blizzard explained.
"But, if you created Mommy's scepter, what happened to your Animus Gems?"
"Yeah, when we took a look at it after we got home from Berk, all we could find were the engravings the gems were meant to go with," Mai and Audino questioned.
"And, another thing, what exactly do you guys mean when you said that most everyone in your kingdom uses their magic to help others and keep the hope and love of dragons alike, really?" Dawn (Midday Lycanroc) demanded, to which Blizzard and Athi gave solemn sighs in response.
"...Let me guess; something happened to them that caused them to be lost when your kingdom eventually fell?" Mudsdale pondered grimly after seeing their reactions to Dawn's question.
"...You are correct. However, contrary to popular belief, the Dragon Wars spanning 300 years were not what caused our kingdom to fall but rather, there was something more sinister afoot that led us to our downfall 600 years ago," Athi solemnly confirmed but also contradicted popular belief involving the Dragon Wars.
To prove what Athi meant, the two deceased royals created a new illusion that showcased a massive battlefield on the northern part of the Barbaric Archipelago where pitch black counterparts of the Six Spirits and a burly-looking man wearing a dragon-skin cloak standing together. A spear at hand and an army of enslaved dragons and Vikings who had fallen victim to the man's words/lies he spewed at them and caused them to follow him against their free will, the man pointed his forces towards a resistance fellowship in front of them and the evil spirits destroyed humans and dragons alike using deadly powers known as Demonic Elemental Breaths, the resistance fighting bravely against their foes but eventually falling to their frightening power.
All Sarah could do was watch in horror and shock with her family sharing her sentiments as they watched the forces of evil before them demolish the kingdom the original Six Spirits, Athi, and Blizzard worked so hard to protect and the very subjects that they've protected with their lives.
"NO!" Stufful shrieked, prompting Ching Wan to take her and shield her in his arms.
"What are they doing?!"
"This can't be!"
"Those Vikings!"
"The poor dragons!"
"They're getting slaughtered like pigs!"
"Inconceivable!"
"Impossssssssssible!"
"Thosssssssssse foolsssssssssss!"
"What have they done!?" Umbreon, Espeon, Cobalt, Buneary, Guardeon, Virizion, Seviper, Flameaconda, and Mirage screamed, horrified, and shocked.
"No! They can't do this, they have no right! They didn't do anything wrong, stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!" Magearna panicked, crying heavily as she was forced to look away from the carnage with Donna (former queen) and David doing their best to comfort the traumatized Artificial Pokemon.
Even the dragons couldn't help but roar in agony and whimper as they watched their fellow dragons and the Vikings they've lived in harmony with suffering and dying under the hands of the burly-looking man and his army.
"What the devil are they?!"
"Your Majesties!"
"That nutcase and his army killed without mercy, they're monsters from what you've shown us! And, who are those shadows?" Tsukumaro, Nikki, and James cried in alarm.
Athi's frown grew as she explained what happen with shame and disgust, clenching her fists as she held her right hand in her left, "The Spirits of Disharmony, the most accursed beings to ever roam the kingdom and lay waste to it. Being the counterparts of our Six Spirits, they represent everything that goes against each of the values and morals our friends represent and preach: Death, Chaos, War, Desolation, Misfortune, Ignorance, the worse traits a creature can exhibit. Six centuries ago, they were created and led by a madman known only as the Nameless God; together, they combed our kingdom and attempted to destroy the Barbaric Archipelago, killing all who resisted their attempts for power and keeping those that survived to enslave them for their own purposes and against their free will. They were relentless in their assault and his lies as they stole everyone's magic which left myself, my king, and our subjects as the last of the Animus Mages in the world. It had gotten so bad that we were forced to take drastic and immediate action to ensure that they never do us harm again..."
Steeling themselves for what was to come and with Athi trying to stew in her emotions, Blizzard created a new illusion on her behalf that showed the pair, the Six Spirits, and the surviving Western Dragons, Archipelago Dragons, NightWings, SkyWings, MudWings, SeaWings, RainWings, IceWings, SandWIngs, HiveWings, SilkWings, and LeafWings they've gathered in what was to be one final assault against the Nameless God. Together, they charged at him and his army of enslaved dragons that had been roped into his lies in one last charge before they collided in a powerful ball of light that forced Sarah and her family to shield their eyes from the blast.
When the light finally died out, the Spirits of Disharmony and the Nameless God were finally killed off but at a great cost; amongst the survivors in the resistance, Athi and Blizzard were fatally wounded in the final assault and were on the verge of death, the Six Spirits looking over them in despair as they were about to lose their parent figures/best friends. Their subjects were also heartbroken over the fact that their king and queen had to sacrifice themselves to ensure that the peace they and the Six Spirits worked so hard to maintain for them would live on.
Blizzard sighed as he mentioned what was about to happen next, "We fought valiantly along with whatever allies we've gathered in this magnificent battle but at a terrible price; while we did manage to destroy the Nameless God and his Spirits of Disharmony for good, Athi and I were at the cusp of death and our time in this world is over. The Six Spirits were distraught over losing us but knowing not to let our sacrifice be in vain, Rajhu infused our spirits in the scepter's jewel in our final moments and, in agreement with our other spirits, he removed the Animus Gems and gave them to Nuraiah, allowing her to seal them and the Scepter away so nobody will ever use them for evil."
As he spoke, Nuraiah, Zjhiben, Jhayli, Sol, and Ashia transferred their power to Rajhu as he got to work with what was to be Athi and Blizzard's final wish after doing what they must with their fallen royals. Once he and Nuraiah completed their parts, using the power given to him by his fellow spirits as well as his own, Rajhu reincarnated the fallen dragons and Vikings they'd lost to the Nameless God and his forces before they all left to live out their new lives, away from the public eye.
"Ever since the Six Spirits left with our subjects, they've been watching over Dragonstone and a small part of our kingdom, always in the shadows and letting themselves pass on into legend while they went into hiding. Always waiting for our successors to come into the wing and take over where the two of us left off, those successors would be your Night Fury and your Light Fury..."
Blizzard and Athi canceled their illusions as they returned to the Bardo, eying Shadow and Winter as the former spoke of them when they finished their story. Needless to say, their spectators were left speechless and shocked over the hidden truths about the pair's kingdom and what became of their subjects and their closest friends in the process.
"...So, that's it. It wasn't the Dragon Wars 300 years ago that didn't result in the kingdom falling apart," Star mused, stunned. "Without you to help your friends maintain the kingdom and after they and your subjects left for a new home, that's when those Dragon Hunters and poachers invaded and pillaged your kingdom, going unchecked all the time."
"Yes, that Scourge of Odin that nearly wiped out all of those poor Buffalords, the near-genocide of Night Furies in this world, those incidents spurred by the man who called himself the Nameless God... It's maddening!"
"All of those events that led to the Dragon Wars between the dragons and the Vikings came into play when the Red Death Queen took the helm and ruled over all Dragonkind for the last three centuries," Cresselia and Reshiram realized, now knowing how the grim chain of events since Athi and Blizzard's deaths came to be.
"But, the Western Dragons and the other foreign dragons haven't been seen for over six centuries since they and the Six Spirits left the old kingdom and after you two died. What happened to them?" Wildfire noted.
"That's what I want to know, Bro. Along with how Berk came into being since it must be a different island," Pyre added curiously.
"While Blizzard and I were still in power alongside the Six Spirits, our sanctuary stood before the island your Viking friends called home came to be. Before they left with our subjects, after our deaths, Rajhu used a spell to move Dragonstone Island away from the Barbaric Archipelago's borders and kept everyone from harm's way, making a new island in its place which your Viking friends and their dragons would eventually call 'Berk'," Athi explained.
"After a period of time, our subjects and the Six Spirits have returned to Dragonstone Island, the Lost Continent, and the Distant Kingdoms which all still remain hidden to this day. However, in response to your previous question, Young Dragons, dragons have been known to live for thousands of years according to different folklore and with our Animus Enchantments, our former subjects would do the same, living happily and healthy without fear throughout their years of peace. They brought hope for the Night Furies, the Light Furies, the Buffalords, the Dramillions, all of the dragons that are in danger of being extinct due to their low numbers barring those of our subjects," Blizzard concurred, looking towards Pyre and Wildfire.
Athi nodded before addressing Sarah, "After hearing of your plight since our scepter was first given to you, Princess, our subjects and the Six Spirits would be more than honored to lend you their aid and power to end your war against your enemies and restore our former kingdom after."
"Wait, wait, wait, whoa! Rewind a sec, fellas! Are you saying that my girl, Sarah, will have two kingdoms to look after now instead of just her home?" Liberty asked skeptically.
"If it does come to that, Young Liberty, she would have to make the most difficult choice of her life with what she's doing for the dragons of Berk," Totem Luxray put in, concerned.
"How can she watch over two kingdoms? She's already got enough on her plate with just one," Kion questioned, not liking where things are going.
"No how, no way! She's not going to put herself on the ringer juggling two kingdoms at the same time, not with Lothor and Team Eclipse still at large!" Kiara agreed adamantly.
"Sooner or later, she's going to have to make that choice whether any of us like it or not," Kyubi reminded with a heavy sigh.
"She's right; it's ultimately up to Ms. Sarah to decide if she would take up their offer. We can't force her to choose one over the other out of our own volitions," Chen Li nodded in agreement.
"I don't like it; it would take an army of our own to deal with both while keeping Team Eclipse and the girl's fallen uncle along with that Evox the Beast Morphers Power Rangers are dealing with at Coral Harbor off our backs," Aku muttered darkly. "We've been able to keep them at bay up to now when they decided to join forces with this Zin character but if they exploit this offer and attack us from all sides unexpectedly, we've all had it and so would she!"
"Not to mention, this world is still in dire straits ever since the downfall of Queen Athi, King Blizzard, and their former kingdom. Much of the dragon species left are still facing extinction and the likeliness of poachers and Dragon Hunters amongst other reasons is growing by the day," Virizion added, a sinking feeling in her stomach.
"Is there really any hope left for our world?"
"Can it really be brought back to the way it once was? We've made peace with that when we left for a new home," Hydro and Hurricane pointed out.
"I'm not sure; the Vikings had done a number on all of us since their kingdom fell to pieces and the poachers and hunters and other unsavory folk had done as they pleased when the Nameless God and his Spirits of Disharmony were wiped out," Melody said.
"There was no one around to monitor them and keep them in line and barring our Viking friends and their dragons from Berk, the intelligence and behavior of the other Vikings had fallen so low, it'll be impossible," sighed Echo.
"I guess there's not much we can do about that in the meantime," groaned Blitz, seeing the current futility of their predicament.
"And, since pride and honor are the only things those ruffians care about nowadays, I don't know how we can get them to realize their origins and see that they really are more than meets the eye," Curly agreed sadly.
"Either way, as we all know, it'll be up to the princess to decide what's best in the end. It'll be up to her and her alone to determine her path going forward,*" Reshiram reassured before he turned his attention to Sarah. "*Isn't that right, Princess?"
Sarah was left surprised by the offer but the idea of having to look after two kingdoms at once left her conflicted; she was already having enough on her hands with keeping Lothor and Team Eclipse at bay and finding her parents as their daughter and the Alola Region's Sun Princess but with the possibility of having to look after Athi and Blizzard's former kingdom and restoring it to its former glory, she was left between a rock and a hard place. Even though she wanted to do everything she can to help Athi and Blizzard's subjects return to their former home and restore it to its original state, she still has her responsibilities to the Alola Region and she was a long way from finishing the war between her and Lothor, especially since she, her family, and her friends were close to finding her real mother and father.
She wanted to do the right thing as she had always done but she was reaching another crossroads on what to do and it was getting through to her the more she thought about it. Despite her growing worries, however, she sighed before gaining a determined look on her face; she knew she was going to jump the shark with what she was planning to do but in her mind, she would hopefully find a solution to ensure that Athi and Blizzard's former kingdom would become its old self again through her efforts and those of her family and friends (once they hear of it).
"...I'll do it," she finally announced, silencing the growing arguments from her family as everyone turned to her. "I'll rebuild Dragonstone Kingdom after my parents are found again."
"No, Mommy!" the baby Jungle Pokemon cried in alarm.
"Baby, are you sure?"
"Do you realize what you're doing to yourself at a young age or giving up?" Donna (former queen) and David asked worriedly.
"I did; Alola has always been my home and it's always been my destiny to rule Alola as fair and as kind as my parents before me. But, when I took up my old mantle after I finally remembered who I really was, I made some promises and one of them was to be there for everybody and not just my subjects back home. Throughout this journey, we never considered giving the throne back to Mom and Dad once we do find them and as far as I can tell, their reign was cut short when my uncle turned to the Dark Side two weeks into their rule and they've never had to chance to show who they really are as a king and queen. I don't think it's right for me to take the throne right now when they missed out on a chance to rule our home as you did, Granny, Gramps."
"Ponchita, you also promised us and your friends to be true to yourself," James countered, concerned.
"Your adoptive father is right, Princess. Although it is against our better judgment, focusing your attention on Dragonstone Kingdom and returning the throne to your real parents until then will indeed prove invaluable not only to yourself but to us," Reshiram said, giving an eventual nod of approval. "Someday, when you return to Alola, you will be an even more effective princess."
"I really want to do this for the sake of everyone in the Barbaric Archipelago, only if it's okay with you guys," Sarah nodded, turning to her family.
"Look, we don't want you to leave Alola, sweetie. But, now that we think about it, it won't indeed be fair to you take the reigns for your parents immediately after we found them," David reluctantly sighed.
"We'll always be here for you and we'll support you with whatever you do, honey," Nikki added, a small tear of pride and sorrow dripping from her left eye as it welled.
"Mom, are you sure you want to do this?" Blitz whimpered to his mother figure, Curly doing her best to comfort her crush.
"Blitz, trust me; the Barbaric Archipelago and Dragonstone Kingdom need me more than Alola would right now. With all of those poachers and Dragon Hunters and other problems causing all kinds of havoc for the Vikings and dragons, this is going to be the best thing for everyone. Once Dragonstone Kingdom and the Barbaric Archipelago are at peace again, I'll hand over the reins to someone else to take over for me and I'll return home. I'm not giving up on my dream as a Pokemon Ambassador but I know that until then, Alola will be safe again in my parents' hands, you'll see."
"As you know, Princess, it is not easy for us to see you hand the throne over to your parents like that knowing what you putting your attention to Dragonstone and the Barbaric Archipelago would bring us. But, in this case, I believe you've proven to us that you will be even more valuable to us by taking this huge leap forward and assuming the mantle for our new friends," Cobalion smiled warmly, now fully understanding of Sarah's choice.
"Mom, you've done so much for us..."
"Yeah, Alola wouldn't have gotten this far without you to lead us despite Lothor and Team Eclipse's plights," Aqua and Milotic admitted warmly.
"Your baby girls from the sea are right, Princess. You've grown up in such a short time and you've already been molded into the leader and princess you're meant to be throughout our adventures with you," chuckled Terrakion, giving a knowing and heartwarming laugh.
"I am in agreement, dear. During our times of upheaval and strife when Lothor and his forces had us on the ropes, you've assumed the role of leader without question time and time again," Virizion smiled knowingly.
"Thanks to you, even once we found your real parents and bring them home, Alola will live to see another day. And, if Lothor and Team Eclipse have anything to say about that, we'll all be with you to make them see otherwise," Keldeo nodded proudly.
"Your Swords of Justice are correct, Princess. Your choice to help restore our kingdom will surely be of great help to us all and our old friends despite being at your own personal risk," Athi said, giving a grateful smile.
"You're taking on an incredibly big burden on your shoulders with this task but given the love and sport of your family and your determination to see things through for the sake of all those you love and want to help, I can safely say that we'll have no qualms about handing our kingdom over to you and your two dragons," Blizzard agreed heartwarmingly.
"I'm just glad I could help, you guys. And, if it helps, I won't leave Alola now; I'll start off small since my family and friends and I still have the Alola League to look forward to," Sarah nodded, giving back a warm smile. "Once one of us comes out a winner in the Pokemon League and Team Eclipse and Lothor are done for, I'll have Winter, Shadow, and I take over full-time. If there's ever a chance, I can call them and my family over if we need them for help."
Athi and Blizzard warmly nodded again in response, "Absolutely, Princess."
That was all the former king and queen of Dragonstone Kingdom needed to hear but then, a bright rainbow glow appeared before everyone from above as it floated down to Sarah. Then, it splits into seven lights that are a specific color before taking the form of seven gemstones: red, brown, dark purple, light blue, lime green, orange, and yellow, all of them being in the same shape as the engravings on the Dragon Heart Scepter (which immediately glowed with their presence). The gems hovered around Sarah and placed themselves in the scepter, commencing the return of a certain kind of magic that it once held.
"What...?!" gawked Flicka.
"What are those things?" gasped a surprised Flipper.
"Oh, don't tell me those rocks are-!" Eternatus began until Blizzard gave a relieved smile at the sight of the gems.
"Yes, our Seven Dragon Animus Gems... With them at all times, our old subjects and the Six Spirits will be with you and ready to answer your call if you need them whether you need the spirits alone or them and their subjects together depending on the occasion. Also, with them, you will do well to rebuild our kingdom and return it to its former glory," the former Dragon Alpha confirmed.
"And, on our behalf, you will have our island home where we both ruled as your own," Athi finished. "It's the least we can do to show you our gratitude."
"...Blizzard, Athi, I..." Sarah began, trailing off as she didn't know what to say in response to them given her stunned silence.
"You don't need to say anything."
"We're grateful to you for taking a huge risk to help us and our former kingdom in its darkest days."
"...Your Majesties, thank you for everything!" the little princess finally thanked, bowing to the pair on her knees.
"It's the least we can do, as we said. You've taken your first step to continue where we left off. But, regardless, keep in mind that the road ahead of you and our successors will not be easy. Greed is a cruel part of humanity that can't be easily tamed or overcome. But, if you ever need our help, do not hesitate to use our scepter's jewel to summon us," Athi said to her as the Bardo started to glow around everyone, Sarah and her family's time in the Spirit World reaching its end.
"Whatever wonders they seek will be theirs to lust as their own so be as vigilant as ever to hold on to those you love dear. Remember, the one who can make a difference in our kingdom is you, someone who takes the first step to do what she believes is right," Blizzard finished as Sarah and her family were sent back to the real world.
