Meanwhile, back with the princesses and the adventure group...
"It's the end of the world as we know it." Thor frowned.
"Let's try to stay positive." Sabrina spoke up.
"Okay, I'm positive it's the end of the world as we know it." Cherry retorted.
A man soon came behind her and tried to attack her. Cherry then spun around with a roundhouse kick to his face and soon lunged out and tackled him, remembering her training from Batman.
"That's what that thrall gets for attacking someone who's been trained by Batman." Thor said.
A thrall was soon seen coming at Atticus with an ax, ready to attack him, not knowing he couldn't get hurt by any weapon.
"I hope my aunts will be okay." Sabrina said softly.
"I'm sure it'll be all right, we just need a plan." Atticus replied before the ax chopped down and dented against the boy's head, cutting his hair a little.
"...Did you get a haircut?" Sabrina asked.
Atticus soon put his hand on his shoulder and saw some loose hair before glaring at the thrall behind him. "Hey! Not cool!" he then glared.
"Oh, that thrall's done it now." Thor smirked as Atticus attacked the thrall.
Sabrina was soon seen using her magic against a thrall. A bigger and stronger thrall came toward her with a dark laugh. Sabrina shivered and felt scared as she backed away nervously. Thor narrowed his eyes as he snorted like a bull and soon charged like he was playing football before he soon headbutted the thrall away into a building, sending him flying into it as he growled while on his hands and knees.
"Whoa... Thor..." Sabrina blinked.
"Nobody hurts my future cousin." Thor smirked.
They soon saw more thralls attacking and where the princesses fought them.
"Still so cool of how the princesses have powers." Thor said.
"Yeah, it is pretty neat," Mo had to admit. "Especially with Snow White's icicles."
"I'd hate to be a thrall against Rapunzel," Salem chuckled. "That'd be a hairy situation!"
The others stared at him a bit as he laughed at his own joke.
"...Ah, you kids today, no sense of humor." Salem then rolled his eyes at them.
"All right, Laguardia and his men are buying us enough time to get into the lobby before they shut it down," Snow White said to her fellow fairy tale princesses and new allies. "We have to find the elevator that leads up to the penthouse."
"What about the thralls? As long as the portal remains open, we'll have an entire army between us and Rumplestiltskin." Cinderella said to Snow White.
"Why don't we split into two teams? One handles the portal and the other team goes to City Hall." Thor said.
"Seems like a sucker's bet if you ask me, Thornton." Cherry said to the warlock teen.
"Rapunzel, Cinderella, Sabrina, Mo, Thor, you take the garage beneath City Hall. That's where they're coming from," Snow White organized. "Sleeping Beauty, Cherry, Atticus, and I will take the lobby. Are you ready for this?" she then asked them.
"Absolutely." Sleeping Beauty replied.
"You better believe it." Atticus said.
"I'm coming with." Patch smiled.
"I should come too," Salem then added. "Uh, well, with Sabrina anyway."
The others hid small, knowing smirks at Salem's bond with Sabrina.
"Just to make sure she stays out of trouble," Salem then said. "I don't want her to make the same mistakes I did when I was her age."
"Alright, Salem." Sabrina smiled.
The group soon began to make their way to their destinations, but encountered Red.
"Aw, sugar honey iced tea." Thor complained as the girl began to ready an arrow.
Cinderella soon stopped the arrow with her powers which made the arrow disintegrate before Red ran off.
"This bitch!" Snow White complained.
"I've got her; you guys worry about the lobby." Cinderella told the others.
"Be careful." Thor told her.
"I will." Cinderella replied before going after Red.
"Got it. Let's go," Snow White said to the others on her team. "See if you can close that portal!"
Cinderella soon stood bravely in front of Red. Red soon twirled around as Cinderella ran out to her, shooting arrows around in the process. Cinderella then thought quickly while dodging the arrows and kicked Red down on the ground instantly. Red then got back up as the two began to fight each other with their fists, feet, and Red used her bow.
Rapunzel, Salem, Sabrina, Mo, and Thor are soon seen around a corner as they saw Iron John's goons soon charged in and attacked them with their powers. The only one that was standing was Iron John now.
"Great... It's the Tin Man..." Thor glowered.
"And here I thought the only cold man in my life was my Uncle Mort." Salem remarked.
"Does this look like order, John?" Rapunzel challenged the iron man.
"No choice now!" Iron John replied as he looked ready to brawl them.
Rapunzel, Sabrina, Mo, and Thor soon charged at Iron John, ready to fight him and where Salem added himself into the mix.
"Well, here we go, about to fight against someone who looks like he's made of iron." Salem said.
"I'm not scared of anything," Thor smirked. "My uncle goes bowling and plays Poker with guys like Michael Myers, Jason Vorhees, and Freddy Kreuger."
"...Remind me not to play games with Drell." Salem muttered to Sabrina.
Sabrina merely nodded in response.
And so, began the fight with Iron John while Rapunzel showed how strong and independent she was.
"She's much different from the fairy tale," Sabrina commented. "I sure hope Jack and Jill are okay."
"They're with your friend and not exactly are in a good position." Iron John said while fighting them.
"Uh, in what way do you mean not in a good position?" Salem asked him.
Iron John chuckled. "Rumplestiltskin is finally gonna do what should've been done a long time ago," he then said. "Like with what happened to their mother."
"...Death?" Mo guessed as her face paled.
"You're a smart girl," Iron John smirked. "Not smart enough though if you think you can fight me."
Mo had to think of some way to fight Iron John without getting hurt and soon got an idea as there was more than one way to fight. "Oh, I can fight you, but I bet you couldn't hit me by a mile." she then smirked.
"Mo, what're you doing?!" Salem panicked.
"Shh~" Mo shushed the former warlock turned cat.
"So, the little girl thinks she can fight me?" Iron John glared at Mo. "Why don't you put on a nice, clean dress and go home to your mommy to learn how to cook?"
"Nah, I think I'll stay here," Mo smirked as she crossed her arms. "Maybe you're just 'rusty'." she then said as both a pun and an insult.
"What is she doing?" Rapunzel whispered to the others.
Sabrina began to try and think of what Mo was doing before seeing how angry Iron John was getting as angry as a bull when he's being taunted with a red cape with one saying "Toro, Toro".
"Ooh, so big and scary!" Mo smirked at Iron John.
"You are testing my patience!" Iron John snarled at Mo.
"Fight me, Iron Man!" Mo smirked. "I bet ya can't do it!"
Iron John growled as he soon began to run and charge right for the tomboy as he felt very fed up with her nuisance behavior. Mo simply whistled while waiting for Iron John to collide with her, but when he was about to grab her and hurt her, she simply stepped out of the way and tripped him, unknowingly to one of the stone support beams. KLANG!
"Oof..." The others cringed only slightly.
"Nice work, Mo." Salem smiled.
"Everybody has their own smarts," Mo smirked. "I have street smarts."
Meanwhile in City Hall...
"Okay, get ready," Officer Ernst said as the rest of the officers were shown with weapons ready. "Lock and load, boys."
It suddenly became dark and blue inside the room before some crackling noises were heard outside the building's windows. Officer Ernst breathed some cold air as his gun began to freeze up. Ice soon spread on to the windows which told the man one thing.
"They're coming!" Ernst panicked.
Cherry soon kicked down the door as Atticus, Patch, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty came from behind her as they came into the room. And as they walked inside, Sleeping Beauty used her princess power to put the police to sleep.
"Nighty-night, boys." Cherry smirked.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Snow White asked Sleeping Beauty.
"Never better." Sleeping Beauty reassured.
Ernst whimpered as he squirmed on the floor, backing away as the princesses walked toward him. "Stay away from me, bitch!" he cried out in fear. "GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Snow White was about to freeze him, until...
"Let me handle this." Sleeping Beauty offered.
"Please." Snow White allowed as she put her back down.
Ernst began to cry before he soon fell into a deep sleep through the magic.
"Help... Help..." Lionel weakly called.
"That's funny," Cherry said. "I thought I heard Lionel's voice."
"I think that's because you did." Atticus said.
"Help, please!" Jill called out.
Cherry and Atticus went to follow the source of the voices and soon found Jack, Jill, and Lionel.
"Lionel! There you are!" Cherry said as she leaned against the tank and put her hands over it. "What're you doing in there?"
"Trapped..." Lionel grunted out. "Rumple... Stiltskin... Jerk face... Found me... And sensed... My power... Decided to... To... Use it for himself... To use... Impossible magic..." he tried to explain while he still had the energy. "Threatened... To... Send me back... To... Where I... Came from."
"Quick, you have to get us out of here before he comes back." Jill told them.
"And we will." Cherry replied.
Atticus soon charged towards the tank, but barely broke it. "Ugh... Okay, that was clever," he then said. "I guess I should've guessed it wouldn't break so easily."
"Do you have the Elements?" Jack asked.
"What Elements?" Cherry replied.
"Rumplestiltskin said to himself that the only way to get out is with the help of some Elements from another world," Jill frowned. "Not even from our world or this world, but a completely different world altogether."
"If Drell had just told us where to find the Elements, then we could use them to break you out." Cherry said.
"Where is Drell anyway?" Jack asked.
"He's with Hilda and Zelda and the Justice League fighting the army of thralls." Atticus explained.
"Can't you call for him or something?" Jill asked.
"...I don't know," Cherry replied. "...Can we?"
"Hopefully he has his Spell Phone." Atticus said as he whipped out his own which was an emergency contact given to him and the others in case they would need the adult witches' help for emergency adventure or magical services.
"Try... Anything..." Lionel grunted. "I'm... Seein'... A big bright light... All I hear are... Angels..."
Atticus soon called Drell hoping he would answer. "Oh, please answer, please answer, please answer." he then begged.
Drell was shown to be sitting on some thralls and headlocked two before he grabbed them and hit their heads together with a smirk before he heard a ringing sound.
"You got a call, sweetie." Hilda said to him as she helped her sister fight.
"I see..." Drell replied before answering innocently before punching another thrall who tried to sneak up on him. "Hello? Oh, hello there, Atticus."
"Drell! Elements! Explain!" Cherry and Atticus begged on the other line.
"Now?" Drell asked.
"Drell, this is serious; we need to know more about the Elements as in where they are because Lionel, Jack, and Jill's lives are at stake in a tank!" Atticus told him as Patch tried to find a way to get the tank open.
"They're in a tank?" Drell narrowed his eyes. "They're not fish!"
"Will you tell us what the Elements are for gosh sake's?!" Cherry cried out. "We gotta get 'em and Lionel out of here before Rumplestiltskin comes back for them!"
"Well, since you asked so nicely, I'll tell you..." Drell seemed to smirk. "The Elements are a magical group of items that represent the magic and power of true friendship and companionship that can almost be unstoppable at any evil or dark force. They're a bunch of supernatural artifacts representing subjective aspects of harmony. Each artifact represents an element of friendship and only activates if the wielder possesses the corresponding trait and if all six are used in conjunction," he then explained. "I know how girly and cheesy they sound, but they come from that pony land and only a select chosen group would be able to use them in this world away from that world... Especially in this Earth we live in compared to other Earths with different versions of all of us."
"Okay, wow." Cherry said.
Patch continued to try and find a way to open the tank.
"What are these Elements?" Atticus asked.
"The main ones are Magic, Laughter, Kindness, Loyalty, Honesty, Generosity," Drell listed. "Some say there are others such as Bravery, Strength, or Empathy."
"Well, I don't know how'd we find any of those around." Cherry sighed.
Patch seemed to glow as he ran back from the tank again and began to run towards it and as he glowed, he seemed to headbutt the tank which began to make a crack appear on it.
"Wait a minute..." Atticus said as he began to get an idea of which person and animal represented each Element of Harmony and Companionship.
"What is it?" Drell asked.
"That's it..." Atticus said. "THAT'S IT!"
"What?!" Drell asked.
"Cherry, we can use these Elements of Harmony!" Atticus said to his good friend. "All of us together! You, me, Thor, Patch, Mo, Sabrina, and even Lionel if he wanted to!"
"What are you blabbing about, Superdork?" Cherry narrowed her eyes.
"Don't you get it?" Atticus smiled. "We each have those elements deep within ourselves! We just gotta unlock them through the power of friendship and companionship!"
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but you might be onto something." Cherry said to her best friend before they heard Patch continuing to headbutting the tank as the cracks continued.
They soon saw that Patch was glowing and looking ready to charge again.
"Whoa! Spot, wait!" Cherry said as she dove in, hitting the ground by accident. "Ow."
"What is it, Cherry?" Patch asked as he held his head. "Other than I might actually get a headache... I might have to take a break from trying to break the tank."
"The Elements of Harmony... Drell told us about them," Cherry said. "Each of us has a part of them deep within ourselves in our group of friends and we can probably use them to free Lionel, Jack, and Jill."
"But to do so you'll need Mo and Sabrina and Thor with you to free them." Drell said from the Spell Phone.
"Is there any way to bring them back here faster?" Cherry asked then.
"You'll have to round them up," Drell replied. "I'm sure you can find them."
"Wait, don't hang-" Cherry panicked before it was too late. "...Up. Great, now where are we gonna find them?" she then sighed and face-palmed.
"Hmm... I could use my magic and teleport them here." Atticus said.
"Well, that is the fastest way, so sure." Cherry shrugged.
Atticus soon closed his eyes and chanted the teleportation spell.
"I'll keep an eye out for Rumplestiltskin." Patch said before they left.
"Thanks, Patch!" Atticus replied before he and Cherry disappeared in thin air.
Meanwhile...
"You always have a choice, it's not too late!" Rapunzel told Iron John.
"It IS for me!" Iron John snarled.
"No, it isn't." Sabrina told him.
"What do you think's gonna happen now John, huh?" Rapunzel said. "Help us re-take this city, get your men out of here."
"You're not one of his monsters." Mo added to Iron John.
Iron John glared as he walked over and stood over them.
"Help us close the portal." Sabrina frowned.
Iron John looked at them silently for a few moments before suddenly yelling. "Go! Get out of here!" he then told them.
The group looked a little sad and began to go off before Iron John stopped Rapunzel.
"Take my men with you," Iron John then told the princess softly. "I'll take care of this."
Atticus and Cherry soon appeared out of nowhere.
"Mo! Sabrina! Thor! We need your help right now!" Cherry told their friends.
"Where'd you come from?" Mo asked.
"Where do you think?" Cherry rolled her eyes. "Come over here! Now!"
Mo, Sabrina, and Thor soon joined Cherry and Atticus and Atticus used the teleportation spell again.
"Wait up!" Salem cried out before he soon got left behind. "Aw, come on!"
Atticus, Cherry, Mo, Sabrina, and Thor soon appeared next to Patch.
"Alright, so what's up?" Thor asked.
"All right, listen up 'cuz I'm only gonna say this once." Cherry said to them.
And so, everything was explained.
"Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute," Thor said after the explanation was told. "You called Uncle Drell and he told you about these magical artifacts called The Elements and we can each use them to free Jack, Jill, and Lionel as long as we use them wisely without Rumplestiltskin knowing?"
"...Yes!" Cherry deadpanned.
"Score!" Thor beamed as he jumped up in the air and landed on the floor which made the room shake slightly. "Then let's do it!"
"I think it might work if we all hold hands," Atticus said. "And focus on each Element we have."
"Ew. I'm not holding your hand." Cherry winced.
"Cherry..." Atticus almost growled with a small smirk.
"I'll hold your hand." Thor beamed as he took Cherry's right hand.
"Gah!" Cherry yelped.
Atticus then took Cherry's left hand before looking at Mo and Sabrina. "Well, come on!" he then told them.
Mo and Sabrina soon went to join hands with the others. Patch soon joined his right paw with Sabrina's hand and soon they all glowed as they floated in the air.
"Whoooa! What's happening?!" Cherry cried out.
Jack and Jill looked up in amazement as something new was happening. Lionel only glanced up as he seemed to be fading away from existence. A rainbow seemed to shine through as the groups' eyes turned bright white and they soon shot some sort of magical surge together at the tank which seemed to make it crackle all the way through before it wobbled and soon broke, freeing Jack, Jill, and Lionel. And where Lionel soon began to feel himself becoming his full-powered self.
"You did it." Jack smiled at the group.
The group soon made it back down on the floor.
"Seriously, what the flip was that?" Cherry muttered.
"The Elements, Cherry!" Atticus smiled. "Remember the Elements!"
"I'm sure this is just gonna be a one-time thing." Cherry snarked as Lionel swooped over her and Thor, giving them both kisses on the cheek.
"We'll see." Patch said.
"Alright, now that we are all together let's get to the princesses." Thor said.
Jack and Jill then suddenly hugged their new friends.
"Oof! Hello there!" Thor smiled from the hug. "I love hugs too, little friends."
"Oh, good, you saved Jack and Jill." Snow White said as she walked over.
"Princess Snow White!" Jack and Jill beamed as they ran to the black-haired woman and hugged her.
Snow White looked down at them stoically before she soon smiled, feeling glad that they were safe.
"So, uh, anyone wanna tell me what the heck is going on here?" Lionel asked.
"No time to explain, we gotta regroup!" Sabrina told him.
"Yeah, and we once we see Rumplestiltskin, he is dead." Sabrina said firmly.
"Agreed." Cherry nodded.
"C'mon." Snow White said before they ran off together.
Lionel soon tried to snap his fingers to bring out a sweater for himself as he felt cold before pouting at himself. Thor pouted back before smiling as he wrapped Lionel in a blanket and tugged him along with a playful smirk.
"Oh, Storm Cloud~" Lionel blushed.
"My li'l Mite~" Thor smirked.
They soon went to find Rumplestiltskin, though they first found Maven.
