My Dream Come True
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I hope all of you are doing well. I am doing fine myself, and also learning some valuable lessons from both my family and Christ. I always want to take the opportunity to learn and grow, to be loved and both disciplined at the same time. I maybe an adult, but that doesn't mean I have to stop learning. Or getting a slap upside my head, figuratively, in order to correct myself and become a better person for the life run.
Before anything else, I wish to give praise and thanks to God! Lord, thank you for my family! Thank you for my awesome parents that have raised me with love, discipline, affection, care and resilience! My Mom and Dad are truly the best, and I thank you a lot that I have been born and raised by them! Jesus Christ, thank you for the family I am humbled to be in! And also thank you for just everything else that you gave me, and put into me! Thank you Lord Almighty!
I want to thank those that have reviewed my dream here. I know it's all in my head at the moment, but this is what I dream about. My stories getting turned into either full-blown authentic novels, movies and more! And also hoping and praying that Disney stays with Christ on the straight and narrow path for all time!
Good to hear from you, Kaiju Avenger and Gojira Defender! I was worried very much on you two when you didn't leave more reviews on some of the stories and specials I churned out. I hope you read and review my Disney/Toho movie and music video award specials!
And also to Eater of Stars, I will think on your words. No promises entirely, but I will think on the suggestion you have given me.
This is the last chapter here, where my Sofia the Fist/Toho will end the special here. But I will try to make it as good as the previous chapters as best I can! Only one slight detail… well, maybe not that slight but still, just want to lay it out here.
I have only seen the EPCOT special showcase IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth only a couple of times on my trips to the theme park at Walt Disney World, so I am doing what I can with what info I have both in my head, and also the ones presented to me via the Disney website on the Internet. So while this does pose a challenge to me, I hope to get most of it right as I do this last special here.
I also hope that any of you who read have read the previous Monsters and Magic series first. And also my mini-novel, Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination. EPCOT will show the mini-novel in play form, right out there on the large World Showcase Lagoon! So again, will do my best with what I got. Also, the date is still March 8th, 2019 here so there is not kind of time skip like that. It's all happening at one night at all of the other kingdoms in the Disney park.
And also, just to make it clear to all who read this. I am a devote follow of Christ; I really believe in Jesus, and the lessons from the Bible that I have been taught since I was little. I am extremely far from perfect, but I want to do my best for the Lord. It was He who gave me the gift of imagination, and I dare not waste it like I did in my youth. And also to stand by this, and what I believe in that shows in my profile, with courage, conviction, steadfastness, strength and wisdom! And also to show my faith and trust in God, as best I can.
And on a final note, also hope still to see someone do a video review on any of my novels on YouTube. Or to do some art on any of them, like how my friend Neshma Hernandez from Puerto Rico did when she made the two drawings I present proudly here.
I do not own Godzilla, any of the characters or items that officially belong to the Toho Company. I do not own any of the Disney characters or places that officially belong to the Walt Disney Company. I also do not own any named monsters or characters that have come from other companies such as Universal Studios, RKO, etc. I also do not own any of the characters that appear in certain Toho games such as Godzilla: Save The Earth and Godzilla: Unleashed for the Wii, PS2 and X-Box consoles.
Also, NO live-action remakes of any kind are in my stories, not even in this one. I only like/love the classic, original and REAL animated Disney movies and cartoons I grew up with as a kid. These new remakes/reboots of that are up now… no way! This is my stance, and I am sticking to it with conviction! Any song I use here, the artist/artists will be given full credit and dues as it is their right. I will post who published & distributed said song as best I can.
I do not own Godzilla or any of the other monsters & characters that officially belong to Toho. Nor do I own any of the characters or places that belong to the Walt Disney Company. Also, I do not own the Earth Eater, Firebird, Energy Beast, and the Crab Cyclopes. Those are monsters created and used in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Godzilla that showed in 1978.
I do own my OC creations, except for these particular ones. Solta Runzi, Magric Korastor, Crazeon & Horruk belong to LORD DESTRYUK completely. He has just given me permission to use them here, so will show them to best of ability. David and Gwendolyn Howard belong to DRAGONDAVE45.
The songs used here are from my mini-novel; Monstrous Imagination, Family Stick Together and Final Stand which are my own songs I made for the story. You can find the lyrics at the story on Chapter 1, 6 and 12.
Another song is Somewhere Within The Heart, which is a song that is from the CD Carman Yo Kidz, released in 1992 by Everland Entertainment, a division of World Inc. The lyrics were written by Carman Domenic Licciardello, a.k.a. Carman, music by Gary Oliver, Carman and Michael-Anthony Taylor. The song was sung by Carman and Cindy Morgan.
Also playing here is Godzilla's Main Theme, the original theme that was made for the movie Gojira that was released by Toho in Japan in November 1954. The American version, Godzilla: King of the Monsters was released in 1956 in North America. The Main Theme was made by songwriter Akira Ifukube, and also shown in the album Godzilla that was released in 1954, labeling by Toho.
And also playing is To The Stars, a musical score that was played in the movie Dragonheart. The movie was released in May 1996, distributed by Universal Picture. The director was Rob Cohen, produced by Raffaella De Laurentiis. The music was produced by Randy Edelman, also featured in the album Dragonheart (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) and was released on the same year.
Now, on with the finale of this special!)
It was 7:15 p.m. at the moment at the unique and fantastic park known as EPCOT, the acronym standing for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. The realm was a personal dream & project for the being known as Walter Elias Disney, but most commonly known throughout the entire planet as Walt Disney. The project was to be an experimental planned community, but was abandoned shortly after Walt's death in 1966. However, it was brought back to life but it was to be for educational purposes. It split into two factions; Future World & World Showcase. It opened officially as EPCOT Center in 1982, and has gone on strong since then.
At the moment, a large crowd was gathering around the famous World Showcase Lagoon. Said area was a large, man-made lake that was located in the very center of the World Showcase realm. It had a perimeter of 1.2 miles, and often the patrons would travel by special boats to reach other areas within the park. There was a number of patrons in the other Pavilions located in certain points of the park; at United States, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Norway, China, Germany and Italy. While the numbers were moderate, a majority of the visitors to the park were located directly at the middle of the Showcase Plaza.
Families were gathered there to get prime places, even though there were no chairs to sit on. Mothers and fathers held on tightly to their children, boyfriends with their girlfriends holding hands or holding one another by the waist lovingly, grandparents with their grandchildren, and also singles were there as well. Many of the groups had food and drinks with them, many from each of the Pavilions or some from the local vendors. Some even bought merchandise was mobile vendors as they sold their wares at decent affordable prices.
Usually, the visitors would be waiting for the spectacular IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth special that would show to the world the past such as the beginning of the Earth, and soon follow it up to the present… followed by the promise of a bright future for all of mankind.
However, this was not to be as the park was about to show something else. It only came on for three months; March, April and May. However, a lot of people came to see the new event & records show that they liked it a little bit more better than the normal showcase! It was Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination show! The whole show revolved around DJ's final but essential Disney/Toho movie special that ran on the TV airwaves instead of in the movies, like the other main novels did. Even though it was a direct-to-TV & DVD movie special, it had captured the hearts and attention of the billions worldwide! And thus, it was almost on equal footing in popularity with the other Monsters and Magic novels and movies!
The patrons all knew that today was a special day, and had been hearing that special guests from Hollywood were going to be arriving at EPCOT! So many had gotten out their video recorders, be they traditional or modern, and were all set to film the show. Officially, the fun would not begin until 8:00 p.m., but many did not want to miss a second of the spectacle when it did start.
It soon came to 7:30 p.m., and that is when something happened!
A large barge came floating in at the middle of the lake, going a bit more forwards towards the Showcase Plaza. The audience saw this, and noticed that something was different. The barge had a makeshift curtain up, hiding from the patrons on all sides something.
A female announcer called out:
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages! We thank you for coming on this very special day at EPCOT! Before the show will officially begin, I wish for you to welcome our special guests here to Walt Disney World! Please put your hands together for…Ariel Winter, the voice of Sofia the First!
Coming out from behind the curtain was the famous Ariel Winter, the voice actress who gave to life the voice of the legendary Princess of Enchancia, Sofia the First! She waved to everyone, wearing a classy dress that showed off her beauty and style in a way that was very tasteful! The audience cheered and clapped loudly, especially the little ones who were big fans of the series and the princess character!
And following her is Darcy Rose Byrnes, the voice of Princess Amber!
Following Ariel Winter was the voice actress who gave life to Princess Amber, the stepsister of Sofia & also little lady with a great amount of potential like her sibling. She was also wearing a unique and stylish dress, one that portrayed her beauty & appeal but not going too over the top. She waved to everyone who cheered and clapped for her.
And now, we have a little surprise for you all! You know him by many names and titles, but most of all… you know him as Maui, the demi-god from the film Moana! Give it up for our special guest… Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson!
The cheering from all over the place was so loud, those staying at resort hotels near the park realm swore they could hear screaming/cheering & that was saying something! Emerging from behind the curtain was the legendary WWE wrestler and movie superstar in the entertainment business, Dwayne smiling as he waved to his adoring fans that were scattered all over the park! A vast majority of the visitors were just cheering their heads off, and those were video recording tools were already filming as they captured The Rock on film.
Said person waved to everyone, giving a friendly hug to the two female TV stars as they all waved to their fans. All three had microphones in hand, Dwayne speaking, "Hello EPCOT! How are you all this evening?". The response was a shout that again could be heard from quite a distance.
After a few moments of waiting patiently for the crowd to settle down, it was Ariel that spoke. She put in, "Wow! Now that is great to hear! Now before we officially begin, we like to take the opportunity to thank Disney World for inviting us to be here to see the show that is about to start soon on this special day!".
Darcy continued, "Yup! And what a day it is! Today is the 34th birthday of Daniel E. Rodriguez Jr., a.k.a. DJ Rodriguez! He is the one who is responsible for all of the Monsters and Magic series that are shown in the movies, novels, comic and graphic novels, etc.!".
Dwayne picked up, "That is right, but he has claimed over and over again that he didn't do it on his own. He had the inspiration of one of his friends Anthony Ogozalek, who inspired him with his own Disney/Toho stories which are being made right now. Separate from the Monsters and Magic lines, but unique and very much worth seeing.".
Ariel took over, "Indeed, but he claims that the biggest and most potent of inspirations was from Jesus Christ! He has stated with all his being that it was the Lord who gave him the gift of imagination, the drive and conviction to see it all through, and also the strength and wisdom to endure getting rejected many times before Disney and Toho finally got a good, serious look at his stories… and the rest is history.".
The audience within the park clapped and cheered, seeing and feeling that DJ's efforts were classic but real way of pushing on through with his dream of making his stories a reality such as this.
Darcy said, "Oh, but that is not all! We brought in other special superstars for all of you to see! Many you know from the big screens… and there are a few here that are huge in their own special way! So give it up for the rest of our guests!".
The audience confusion was only but for a second… when a mighty roar and cheer erupted from their throats like the mightiest of lions! Movie legends and popular ones now joined them on the barge, the curtains dropping completely to reveal all to the guests of EPCOT! Those of mature age, but of extreme movie standards were there, along with the young generation that was blossoming well for the viewers all around the world!
The celebrities waved to their cheering fans, and also welcomed their fellow superstars with warm greetings and gestures. The crowd was going nuts for the longest of times, cameras flashing all over and video devices of any kind recording the events for future uses.
Among the guests were three that were not quite legendary when it came to movies and such, but were extremely powerful and potent in their own way that impacted hundreds of millions all over the world! One of them was legendary Christian preacher/singer/artist Carman Domenic Licciardello, also known as just Carman! The aged but still powerful preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ was with the legends, waving to everyone and showing that he was still good to go despite his battle with cancer.
Two others were also just as impacting, and it was Rick and Cindy Godwin! The couple were pastors at Summit Christian Center at San Antonio, which had evolved from Eagle's Nest Church Fellowship that existed long ago. These two were powerful influences for many, including the Rodriguez family that DJ was a part of. The duo waved to everyone in the crowd, many recognizing them and Carman when they saw them.
The whole thing lasted for a few minutes or so, until Dwayne asked for the visitors to the park to calm down some. It took awhile, but the crowd managed to contain themselves for the time being. The Rock announced, "Now that is the kind of reaction I like to see! Giving some well-deserved props to my fellow actors and actresses here! Now, who here is ready for the show to start?". Again, a loud cheer erupted from the audience as they were all raring for the show to commence!
Darcy spoke, "Excellent! But before we start, I have been given the task to go over a few rules laid down by the Disney family. Ahem…. first off, the use of flash photography is prohibited. We want the actors and actresses to be safe when doing the performances, and flashing lights could disrupt their concentration. So we ask that you please refrain from utilizing flash devices.".
Ariel added in, "The second rule is being kind and courtesy to your fellow patron next to you. No pushing, shoving or any kind of behavior that is disruptive. Please enjoy the show as best you can while keeping in mind the persons around you.".
And the legendary voice of Maui finished it off, "And finally this… enjoy the show! We'll be here a little while longer after the show, so to those of you just about to join in, don't worry! And now, it's fifteen minutes till show time! We'll see you all after the performance!". Dwayne than did the stance and actions that his character Maui performed when said being lost his magic hook to the villainess Te Kā. The crowd loved it and many cheered as the former WWE wrestler did the action! He was enjoying, and so were his fellow actors/actresses as they laughed and clapped at seeing the powerful man doing such a thing.
The stars and starlets of the big screen waved to everyone as the barge floated away, back to a spot that was normally out of bounds for regular patrons to the park. They would be watching the show from a place where they could view the action without being mobbed by their fans, and also in comfort as well with their families and friends.
Back outside at the park, the audience were still hyped at seeing the legendary & popular stars and starlets of film. When the clock struck 8:00 p.m., the lights all over the area turned off, and the people cheered as they realized the show as about to begin!
The female announcer came back on:
Welcome everyone to the Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination show! This is the finale in the popular Monsters and Magic series, and we hope that you enjoy the show! Now sit back as we tell the tale of when Sofia the First, the princess of Enchancia, met with not just legendary Disney Princesses and characters… but also legendary Toho monsters that aided her in saving her kingdom! To start the story, it actually must begin at the end…
The Earth Globe, the world's first spherical video display system, was lit up for all to see. However, it showed the scene from the movie special on when the Three Good Fairies came on the scene in Enchancia. Flora, Fauna and Merryweather were arriving back in the kingdom of Enchancia. The trio of headmistresses for the Royal Prep Academy were bringing everyone together from Enchancia, which included Sofia the First, her family and her friends.
The scene changed to show the fairies using their magic to show the events that happened back when they first went to Sennen, England at the beginning of the Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale novel/movie. The globe showed to all on what occurred, and the audience saw the citizens of Enchancia just enraptured by the tale of not only seeing the legendary beings they heard about in stories… but that they went to another universe to aid legendary titans of great size, strength and physical description that was beyond compare!
The scene continued on, until they got to the part where the headmistresses asked for the children to present their works of art for Universal Connection art show. Barges soon floated onto the lake, guided by remote control from an operator nearby. There were seven of them, each having a person on it but were concealed in shadows. One had two people on it, though.
The announcer came on:
The children of Enchancia had finished their special little art project given to them by the Headmistresses of Royal Prep Academy, and were ready to show the land which kaiju they chose and why. First up was Princess Amber, stepsister to Sofia the First…
A spotlight came on the princess, showing that it was a real young lady playing her instead of a person in a costume like in the Disney Junior Live On Stage performance at Disney Hollywood Studios. Everyone clapped and waved to the lovely little lady, who was smiling and waving back to the audience while also doing little curtsey bows. By her side, planted in the middle of the floating platform she was on, was a mysterious object covered by a canvas.
A microphone headset was on her head as she stated loud and clear for all to hear, "Hello everyone! My name is Princess Amber, and the giant monster I chose to do was… Mothra!". She removed the canvas to show that it was a painting, and the cameras all over focused on the object which was now being displayed on the spherical globe. The painting showed Heisei-era Mothra in all her glory in her adult form, and underneath her was Amber with the Cosmos in her hands! The painting was exquisite and very well-crafted. The artists of Disney took immense pride, care and love in their work. The drawing was painted in extremely fine detail, hand-painted mind you and making sure to get every detail of the Toho legend and her retainers.
The audience clapped loudly at seeing the drawing, others quite impressed with it. Amber spoke, "I chose this version of Mothra because she is so beautiful, and the Cosmos have a bit more style and flair than their predecessors, the Twin Fairies.". While it was debatable, especially for those who were hardcore Toho fans, a majority can see why Princess Amber would want to do a drawing of herself with the Heisei-era Mothra.
The barge soon stopped at a specific spot, and the next floating platform made its way to the center of the lagoon. The announcer came up once more:
Next up was Ruby and Jade, the best friends of Sofia who maintained their friendship even though their friend was now a princess…
The spotlight went from Amber to the two commoner friends of Sofia, the young actresses playing looking very much like their cartoon counterparts in both looks and in dress designs. Between them was another object that was covered by a canvas, same with Amber earlier.
Ruby announced, "Hey everyone! Thank you so much for this! Now, for our art project we decided to show our appreciation for Godzilla's son!".
Jade finished it, "And now we present… us with Little Godzilla!". The duo removed the canvas to show to the audience that they made a clay statue of Little Godzilla from Toho's 1994 film Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla! The saurian was in the middle of the clay figurines that were of Jade and Ruby. The clay sculpture indeed looked like it was made by children, but it was still very much a good work of art. At the Japan Pavilion, models of the same clay sculpture were sold but more finely detailed and crafted. The audience clapped and cheered as they saw the work of art, many female going 'awww' as they saw the son of Godzilla between the two children.
Ruby and Jade were smiling brightly and warmly as they held up their arms in victory, and also taking their bows amongst the clapping. Soon, their barge floated towards Amber's floating platform until it go close enough and stopped.
The showcase of art continued with Hildegard who presented her artwork of a sketch that showed her surrounded by three Dorats, the mini-forms of the mighty King Ghidorah that showed in Toho's 1991 film Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. Next up was Lucinda the witch as she showed a large wood carving of Battra, Mothra's dark brother in protecting the planet Earth. She had made both caterpillar and adult forms that showed circling her wooden carved self, as if protecting her.
Next was Prince Hugo, who displayed what appeared to be marble statue of the original MechaGodzilla that appeared in Toho's 1974 film Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla. The marble was actually a good imitation of the substance. Next participant was Prince James, older stepbrother of Sofia the First. His work of art was actually a costume that he put on that showed it was King Kong, the one shown in the 1976 film King Kong. This particular film was made by production company Dino De Laurentiis Corporation, distributed by Paramount Pictures. It was directed by John Guillermin, and released in December 1976.
The audience laughed as they saw the young man in the suit acting like the legendary ape, beating his chest and just having fun. The patrons saw that all of the artwork was done with extreme and precise love and care by the artists of Disney, each craft carefully made and done to really bring out both the Disney characters and the Toho legends.
As his turn was over, the lights dimmed down once more as the last barge floated in. This was maneuvered so that it was now in front of the others, in front of the line of floating platforms as it go closer to the plaza. The announcer came back on the air:
And now for our final entry, please welcome… Princess Sofia the First!
The spotlight came on, showing the purple-wearing princess of the Enchancia realm. The audience cheered at seeing the young lady, especially the little ones who loved the show that aired on Disney Junior. Sofia waved to everyone, bowing a little to the audience as well. Beside her was a canvas, the one that looked similar to Amber's but larger.
After some time addressing her fans, the princess announced for all to hear, "Hi everyone! Now for my art… I did a painting that showed what I really think about a certain monster that I have come to know and admire. In my heart… he is not just a mere kaiju or King of the Monsters, but a real hero! Now to show you my artwork! Behold… the Hero of Light!".
She pulled the canvas off, and everyone was amazed at the painting that was now being shown to all. It showed a picture of Sofia, her entire family and friends in front of the Enchancia castle… and towering above the castle was Hikari Godzilla! The saurian's face was fierce and powerful, well suited for a warrior-king of old. And his stance was showing he was ready to defend and protect. The audience marveled on how the picture looked, once again showcasing to all on how Disney did when it came to making classic artwork.
Sofia let the patrons admire the artwork for a few moments before saying, "I'm really glad you all like our artwork, and also the monsters from the other universe that we chose to display. After seeing what happened at Sennen and in that place called Japan… I just really felt to sing this song, one that shows how we in Enchancia feel about the titans.".
The lights dimmed down with the spotlight still on her, as Sofia sang the soft melody Monstrous Imagination. The song was quite a popular one, not like the Disney classic songs but it was on its way to becoming one. The audience moved with the music and lyrics, the little ones enjoying the song more than the adults. As the song continued on, the immense illuminating globe started to show various clips of the Toho legends. Those who were well-versed in the Toho universe were very much excited to see many Showa and Heisei-era monsters that were legendary in their own right.
When the song ended, spotlights fell on the entire cast that was out on the lagoon. The young actors/actresses all bowed to the crowd, who cheered and yelled loudly for all of them! The young ones rose up and waved to everyone as their floating platforms started to turn and leave towards the right side of the man-made lake. As they left the area, the globe and the lights went dark once more.
The announcer came back on:
While the people of Enchancia were getting more and more involved with the legendary kaiju from the Toho universe, they were unaware that a storm was brewing over the horizon. One… that will be marked forever in the annals of world history.
The globe came back on, but it was now looking like a swirling orb of black and red… similar to the staff top that was used by Maleficent, one of the most iconic Disney villainesses of all time! Something was floating in front of the large sphere, and a spotlight was put on it to reveal… a rather stunning woman! The lady had a rather killer figure, one that many a woman would kill to have. She was also wearing an outfit that was simple, but displayed an ominous/sinister air that had red & black coloring to it. In her right hand was a staff that had a glowing red & black orb on it, also similar to the one Maleficent had.
The woman lifted her head and spoke to all, "Ah, hello everyone. My name is Cosmina, sorceress of the highest caliber and mistress of the Carpathian Mountains. I had hoped to become more, such as an apprentice to my role model and idol… Maleficent!". She stated the last part dramatically as she pointed her staff to the massive globe. The spherical viewing screen changed to show the animated version of Maleficent, the one from the classic Disney 1959 animated film Sleeping Beauty. Some of the little ones in the audience gasped and pointed to the sphere, calling out the witch's name.
Cosmina spoke once more, "When I heard about her demise, I sought to get my revenge on those responsible for her death! Even as we speak, I have put a plan in motion that will bring about the destruction of the Three Good Fairies that reside in Enchancia! And then… hehehehe… as part of my revenge to bring the most hurt to those goody-goody fairies… I will obliterate the kingdom in which they reside in now! Hahahahha!".
The middle of the lagoon was soon engulfed by fire, special pyrotechnics that rose from the water blasting flames into the air and around Cosmina! It lasted for a few moments, until all went dark including the globe. A spotlight came on the waters, and coming in on another barge was Sofia with her family. Surrounding her was King Roland II, his lovely wife Queen Miranda and their children. The royal family were dressed in their best, once again showing to all the quality of the clothing costumes they wore. When Disney does something, they never do it halfway or half-heartedly.
King Roland stated, "So, who here is ready for Wassaila Day? Is everything all set?".
Prince James exclaimed, "Everything is all ready at the castle, Dad! The decorations are all up, the tree is trimmed and cool now with the decorations we made for this day!".
Queen Miranda laughed as she remarked, "Ah yes, the decorations. I saw them, and I have to say they are cute. Putting up figurines and such of those fantastic beasts from the other universe.".
Princess Amber stated, "I know, right? You should see what the villagers, and our royal friends, have put up! So many decorations, big and small, that feature the monsters like Godzilla and Mothra in all sort of Wassaila outfits.".
Sofia put in, "You know, I really wish that I could meet any of them. Especially Godzilla… but I know that I can only see him in my dreams.".
Her mother put a hand on her shoulder and replied, "Maybe, but always keep some hope and faith in you dear. This is the time for miracles you know.".
Just then, Cosmina's voice spoke from the darkness, "Funny you should mention miracles, your Majesty. I believe you will NEED one in order to survive my wrath!". The royal family looked this way and that, trying to find the one who was speaking, than the lights came back on to reveal Cosmina in all her evil glory!
King Roland defended his family as he exclaimed, "Who are you?!".
Cosmina answered, "Ah, so bold a man you are to demand in such a manner. I am Cosmina, and I have rather exquisite plans to carry out. And one of those plans involves you… or more specifically, a certain amulet that is worn by your daughters. Come to me, my creation! Take them!".
From the side of the massive waters came forth a glowing black & purple anaconda beast, eyes glowing red and truly a fearsome sight to see! The beast was a construct that was designed by the Disney technicians, to be water-proof and also light enough to be supported on the treads that it was running on underneath the liquid. It was not an easy feat to do, either making the anaconda machine or to make it light enough to hold up, but it was able to be done.
The beast of Cosmina hissed loudly, the audience gasping and pointing at the immense snake as it made its way to the platform where Sofia and her family was at! The humans gathered together, the husband and wife protecting their children as best they could. However, the anaconda nudged its huge head into the barge, breaking it in two! The floating platform was actually designed to break like that, segmented until it was split by remote control. The timing of it had been practiced very much, until it was as natural as breathing when it came for the right moment to split the object in the water. Sofia fell onto the other side of the split platform, while her parents and siblings remained on the larger part.
The royal family reached out and called, "SOFIA!". The anaconda than pushed the barge away from the princess, who reached out and called out to her family until they were soon out of sight.
Cosmina laughed upon seeing this and declared, "You want your precious family back, princess of Enchancia… you must surrender to me the Amulet of Avalor! I await your surrender at my home, the Carpathian Mountains. Hehehehe… hahahaha!". She than raised her arms, a ring of fire produced around her that rose high into the air! It lasted for a few moments… than died down, the lights going off all over as everything was once again pitch black.
Sofia started to sob on the remaining platform, until the globe glowed in red light. Appearing on the spherical viewing object was Flora, followed by Fauna and Merryweather.
Flora asked, "My dear child, why are you crying? What has happened?".
Sofia looked up, slowly getting back to her feet as well as she faced the immense globe and the face of the red Good Fairy. She answered, "A-A sorceresses named C-Cosmina came… and she… she kidnapped my family! She told me that she needs my amulet, and wants me to deliver it to her at a place I don't know where it's at!".
Fauna spoke, "We'll help you out, dearie! First, can you tell us where she wants you to go?". Sofia answered her, and the Good Fairies wands glowed. Their faces zoomed out, and the globe now glowed to show the entire layout of the planet! A red dot showed up on Europe, showing to all the location of the mountain range that Cosmina dwelled in.
Merryweather spoke, "Sofia, look! Your amulet! It's glowing! I think it wants to help you out!". Indeed, the amulet around Sofia's neck was glowing brightly for all to see. And that is when things got interesting!
At certain Pavilions all around the Showcase area, lights came on… and coming in on the lake were barges that had very special beings on them! Spotlights came onto each one, all floating towards Sofia the First! A dramatic score played on as the audience got a good look at the characters coming in, and the whole area cheered loudly at seeing the ones coming to help Sofia the First!
The one from Morocco was Sultana Jasmine with her daughter Malak!
From the United Kingdom was Alice, Regina, Ariel, Melody and the pixies from Pixie Hollow!
From the United States was Mama Odie, Skylar Truman, Aubert & Magail La Bouff and Radelle!
From France was Cinderella, Tracy, Aurora, Edgard, Dianne, Belle and Mainard!
From Germany was Snow White and Kathrin!
From Norway was Anna, Elsa, Azad and Rapunzel!
Flora exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! Sofia, the amulet has called forth the legendary Princesses and their families! They called forth the ones that were bonded to the monsters!".
The barges came close to the split one of Sofia and it was Jasmine that asked, "Sofia! It seems that we were all summoned to help you out of a terrible mess. What happened?". The princess told all of them on what occurred, and the men & women of Disney were all fired up now to assist her.
Anna exclaimed, "Well, we got some work to do! Let's get going Sofia! We got ourselves a royal family to rescue, and a kingdom to save!". The whole audience cheered at this, the patrons really liking to see the classic and modern Disney characters coming together to fight a force of great evil. Sofia was very glad to have friends/allies on her side, as she felt that she had a good chance now of fighting against Cosmina.
The scene grew dark once more, and the barges moved as one but only a little to the right side of the lagoon. The announcer spoke once more:
The Amulet of Avalor brought forth from many corners of the world the legendary Disney characters that had fought with the Toho titans. They made their way towards their destination, but Cosmina was no fool as she set forth a legion of monsters to assault the party. However… Sofia would learn that there is much more to the world and earth than mere magic…
The lights came back on, showing to all that Sofia was now on a single large barge now with the other Disney beings around her. The single floating platforms combined into one, interlocking like a puzzle to form one large object. The crew were being back into the middle of the lagoon, until they were other smaller barges sailed towards them from all sides! On these floating platforms were actors/actresses that were dressed up as Shadow Soldiers, Cosmina's personal conjured army! There were several of them all together; some looking to have the heads of wolves, while others had the heads of various birds of prey. Once their barges came near the single large one, they leapt onto the one Sofia and the others were & started to circle around them.
Elsa kept Sofia within a circle of protection they created for her, similar to how animals form a ring of defense against predators with the young safely in the middle. The Ice Queen looked to her husband King Azad and stated, "It seems that Cosmina is bringing out the big guns if she sent this many! Any of you see a way out of here?!".
Mama Odie remarked, "Sorry suga, but these bad birds and wolves got use covered! We could sure use some help here!".
She got her answer in the form of a brilliant white light coming from the globe! Everyone looked to it, and saw that coming from the top of the sphere was a single person. The spotlights came on it to show it was a man… with wings and wearing armor, showing he was an archangel! The Disney team had looked into a comic book series that was once prominent in the 1990s, a series called Archangels: The Saga and it was once featured at DJ's old church Eagle's Nest Christian Fellowship inside the store.
The being announced for all to hear, "Behold, everyone! I am Josiah, one of the captains of the angels for the Lord!". Everyone turned to see him, while the shadow beings cowered in fear from the light.
Josiah looked down to Sofia and her companions, lifting his sword high and stated, "Sofia the First, I have been given authority from Jesus Christ Himself to bring back to this place those that have passed on & those that still live to aide you and your group! Now… behold!".
He brought his sword down, almost like stabbing through the globe! That is when Godzilla's Main Theme orchestra song came on, made by legend songwriter Akira Ifukube. The audience went crazy upon hearing the familiar score piece that was universal all over the Earth!
The spherical video display system started to show to all various clips from the Toho universe… ones that were featured in the previous Monsters and Magic novels/movies! And at the same time, other small floating platforms came in & the spotlight hit on them to reveal who they were!
The first to show was Anguirus, the best friend of Godzilla! The spiked mutated Ankylosaurs roared loudly, the image on the globe showing to all the kaiju!
Next up, both on the spotlight and the globe, was Rodan the pterandon master of the skies!
Next was Biolantte, the half-sister of Godzilla!
Following her was Mothra in caterpillar form!
Next was King Caesar, divine guardian beast of the Azumi Royal family in Japan!
Next was Jet Jaguar, the android metal marvel himself and agent of G-Force & JSDF (Japanese Self Defense Force)!
The last one to emerge was the legend himself… Heisei-era Godzilla, as the crowd went absolutely crazy with cheering as the King of the Monsters roared loudly for all to hear! The globe showed the pictures of Godzilla, from the American adaption film Godzilla 1985: The Legend is Reborn going all the way to Toho's 1995 film Godzilla vs. Destroyah!
The costumes made for the show were specifically made just for it, the other monster outfits being used at the moment were also specifically designed for their own shows. Godzilla roared loudly, along with the rest of his large comrades. The beings in black shivered in fright at seeing the behemoths from another universe, and so they high-tailed out of there instead of putting up a fight. They leapt back onto their own floating platforms, which broke away from the larger one and drifted back to the place they first launched at. The barges that held the Toho legends connected to the main one the human characters were on, and the ones bonded to a specific beast rushed up and hugged them.
Radelle clapped Jet Jaguar on the back and exclaimed, "Hoo boy, ain't you a sight for these tired old eyes! Welcome back!".
Aurora stroked Rodan's beak and stated, "Oh, it's so good to see you again, old friend! We really missed you!".
Many compliments and positive words were given to each of the famous beings, but Godzilla went to Sofia after being welcomed by his bonded. The little princess looked up at the saurian, the King of the Monsters himself. Godzilla growled softly… than slowly put a clawed right hand on the head of her, stroking it slightly like a parent would their child.
The audience 'awwed' at that moment, especially the females who found it quite adorable. Sofia smiled, very much showing she liked the little gesture from the mighty Godzilla. Josiah, still on top of the glowing globe, spoke once more, "Sofia the First, they will be your allies and more will join you on this journey. Be aware though, that many trials and tribulations await you in your quest. But take heart of this most of all… you have the Lord on your side. If he is for you, than what else do you have to fear?".
Sofia called out, "I'll remember that, in my mind and in my heart! Thank you Mr. Josiah!". The archangel bowed, than was lowered down back into the sphere where he disappeared into.
Tinkerbell exclaimed, "Okay everyone, let's get going! We still have a long ways to go!".
With that said, the large barge soon started to float away as the kaiju gave off loud roars as the lights dimmed down once more to cover the area in darkness. The large globe moved to the upper middle of the man-made lagoon once more, then turned on as it showed clips on what happened after Godzilla and the other monsters once again entered the Disney universe.
The announcer came on:
Thanks to the authority of the King of Kings in Heaven, Godzilla and the others were returned to the living world to aid their bonded once more. And it seemed that Godzilla had taken a liking to Sofia the First, acknowledging the inner strength the little princess possessed. The group made it to the small village of Razorwood, where they found allies and friends within the small community.
The large globe showed scenes that were from the movie special; the introduction of Solta Runzi, a sorcerer who was adapt at both crafting magical staves/wands plus was skilled in the art of magical/physical combat. Magric Korastor, a self-taught sorcerer that could imbued enchantments into whatever he forged with his own hands. Garza Greenstone, the elder & leader of Razorwood. And Pastor Rick Wing, who was in charge of the house of the Lord that was situated within the community. It also showed on when Godzilla and the forces of Good came together to take on the Rock Rooks, the stone muscle of Cosmina's army! And also on how after the fighter, that the massive beasts were accepted into Razorwood thanks to the children.
However, it seemed that Godzilla and Biolantte still had some issues to work on. And it was Sofia, Rapunzel and the fairies from Neverland that managed to settle things…
The lights came back on as they saw a moderate large barge float in on the scene. The spotlights came on to show that it was Godzilla and Biolantte, the two looking like they were going to be going at it. However, separating them as it were was Sofia along with Rapunzel, Tinkerbell and Zarina.
Zarina exclaimed, "Biolantte, calm down! I know you two used to be enemies, but things have changed!". The half-plant, half-Godzilla being roared loudly, showing rows of sharp, hooked teeth that were all over. On the lower and upper jaws, and also inside on the roof & in the bottom of the jaw where the tongue was at.
Godzilla growled, taking a step forward but Sofia holding him back. The princess pleaded, "Godzilla, don't! She's your sister! I know she's not your natural sister, but she's still family!". The saurian looked down at Sofia and roared softly, the princess making out that the mighty beast wanted to know why to be friendly to someone that tried to kill him.
Sofia sighed and said, "Godzilla, listen… look, I know that it's tough to be friendly that is so different from you. And I'm not talking just physically. You two are different… but there is one thing that binds you two together, something much stronger than your differences. And it is family!".
A soft music and melody carried on the speakers, and on the breeze itself for all to hear. Sofia, Rapunzel, Tinkerbell and Zarina started to sing the song Family Stick Together. The audience witnessed the Disney ladies singing in the true, classic and real Disney way. Something more than just tradition, but a Truth that made the company famous on all levels. During the song, Sofia and Rapunzel brought the living Venus-Flytrap vine of Biolantte with the claw of Godzilla together. The patrons were always amazed to see this part, as the two behemoths from Toho looked at one another… and both growled softly before taking their appendages away. It showed that while it was an awkward start, it was nevertheless a step in the right direction.
When the song ended, the two monsters were not hostile anymore but they were not all chummy either. Sofia looked to Rapunzel and put in, "Well, it's a step in the right direction. I just hope that Godzilla and Biolantte will be close like siblings should.".
The long-haired blonde beauty smiled and stated, "I think Godzilla and Biolantte almost remind me of you and your siblings. You may not be related to them by blood, but they love and look after you like you were.". Sofia's eyes widened that indeed it was true, in the case concerning the saurian and the bio-plant hybrid.
The lights dimmed down once more, the area covered in darkness. The globe came on as it showed scenes from the novel/movie once more, the announcer also coming back up:
Sofia continued to amaze the citizens of Razorwood, as well as her new companions as her amulet gave the Toho beings voices of their very own!
The globe played the part where Godzilla and his fellow kaiju were given human voices, minus Jet Jaguar since he found his own voice long ago.
The forces of Good manages to make it to the mountains, but… Cosmina was ready for them with a trick that let them fall into her trap!
The massive video display sphere showed to all the part where Sofia and her group had managed to make it to the Carpathian Mountains, but were soon deceived and tricked by Cosmina! The part showed where Sofia willingly gave her precious amulet to the vile sorceress… where she corrupted it, and the magical object magnified her own magical might many fold! It also came to the part where Godzilla and his fellow monsters were soon put under a deep sleep, the Disney characters sent back to their lands… and Sofia imprisoned in the mountain, along with her family.
However, Cosmina underestimated one very important factor… and that is faith and hope is never snuffed out, especially when said faith & hope are locked onto the Alpha and Omega…
The lights came back on again, and it showed another large barge floating in on the lagoon in front of the globe as it once again went dark. Spotlights came on, pointing at the floating platform… and it showed Sofia and her family shackled in chains, and guarded by a Shadow Soldier! Sofia whispered to herself but was loud enough for all to hear thanks to the microphone that was on her being. She asked, "Was Cosmina right? Was I only… a pretender? Was it the amulet that made me… me? Am I only a princess with it?".
The other members of her family did not answer her, as it showed they were very much worn out and chained to the barges themselves. The purple-wearing little lady looked all around, than something came over the speakers that was actually from the movie. The voice spoke, "When life gives you more than you can stand… kneel. Those who kneel before God can stand before anyone.".
Just as the voice spoke, a song started to fill the air… it was the music of Somewhere Within the Heart, a song that was sung by Carman and Cindy Morgan! The second the music played, the globe lit up to show clips of what Sofia the First had done ever since she started out as a princess! As the lyrics came forth on the air, the video sphere displayed to all the many adventures that the little lady had so far. With her friends, with her family, with the legendary Disney Princesses… and now with her new friends at Razorwood, and the monsters she had come to know and love! Especially Godzilla, the King of the Monsters.
Once the song was done, Sofia prayed with all her heart for a miracle… and it soon came! The globe started to glow in a deep golden light, the minions of Cosmina shrieking in fear from it until they dropped down to the feet of their captives. Sofia, Amber, James, Roland and Miranda looked up from their positions and slowly got back to their feet. The immense object flashed briefly before it dimmed down to show someone on it… and it was Jesus Christ! The audience cheered at seeing the King of Kings on the screen!
Sofia exclaimed, "Jesus, is that really you?!".
The Chief Cornerstone answered, "Yes, I am here Sofia. I have heard your prayers, and I have answered them. And I say to you this truth; it was not the amulet that made you. It was my Father, who knew you well before you were formed in your mother. Do you understand?".
The princess thought on it for a moment, than the answer became clear to her! It wasn't the Amulet of Avalor that made her, it was the other way around! And also that she was worthy of something more than what Cosmina had told her! She was Sofia the First; daughter to Queen Miranda and King Roland the Second, sister to Amber and James… and now daughter to the Redeemer!
She looked up to the globe and exclaimed, "I understand now! Thank you Jesus, thank you!". The shackles from them than came off, unclasping themselves from the actors/actresses via remote control. Miranda rushed over and hugged her daughter tightly, Roland doing the same as he hugged both his wife and his daughter. Amber and James joined in as well, the audience loving the scene of the royal ones coming together as a family once more.
Jesus said, "Now go, all of you. You have a kingdom to save. And remember… I am always with you.". The image soon faded out, and the globe flashed a bright golden color before turning off.
King Roland looked to his family and stated, "Come on everyone, you heard him! We have a kingdom to save! Let's get going!".
The whole group nodded, and that is when the lights dimmed down once more as the place was covered in darkness once again. The announcer came back on:
Thanks to Jesus Christ, Sofia and her family were free from their imprisonment and restored back to full health! They made their way deep into the heart of Cosmina's mountain home, to reclaim Sofia's staff, and learning on what she had gone through to come to this point.
The globe came on once more, showing to everyone the clips from the movie/novel. It started at the part where Jesus freed the family, and how Sofia and the others hugged the Son of Man. And showed on what occurred with Cosmina on her forces, as well as showing to all what Sofia and her allies did in freeing Godzilla and the others from their imprisonment.
While they were imprisoned by Cosmina, Heaven itself aided the fair princess and her family by preparing an army for them!
The globe changed to show what had happened while the royal family was within Cosmina's stronghold. It showed Josiah the Archangel captain gathering up willing warriors from Razorwood, the introduction of David and Gwendolyn Howard, and also what was occurring back at Enchancia.
When the time came, Sofia and her family & friends managed to escape… and that is when the mightiest of battles took place in the Disney realm!
The lights came back on again, showing two huge barges floating towards one another. The spotlights hit the left side first; showing to all Cosmina and her minions! Several Shadow Soldiers were around her, but the two minions that were different from the rest were her personal guards. It was Crazeon and Horruk, unique minions of evil created by the sorceress to command her vast armies. The globe in the middle of the lagoon flashed on again, this time showing to the audience her own kaiju that she brought to life! It was the Earth Eater, Crab Cyclopes, Energy Beast and the Firebird. It also showed the vast army of Shadow Soldiers and Rock Rooks that were under her will and command.
Cosmina raised her staff and exclaimed, "Onward, my army of darkness! Raze the countryside, obliterate all that you see! We march towards Enchancia, to bring down those miserable Good Fairies… and show to all that we are unstoppable!".
A familiar voice came from the other barge that was still covered in darkness emerged. She said, "I wouldn't count on it, Cosmina!".
The lights all over the park came back on… and the audience went crazy at seeing Sofia and her allies on the floating platform, all ready to fight! The royal family were now in different costumes, wielding weapons and armor from the Heavens above! Again, the designers of Disney showed their professional prowess as the new clothing for Sofia and her family were truly a sight to behold. And the weapons too, custom-made and crafted with a lot of love, care and detail. The Disney characters that were with Sofia consisted of bonded of the monsters, also with the ones from Razorwood also shown. And floating in on smaller barges with them were archangel warriors, led by Josiah as he was with the main group.
The globe changed from showing Cosmina's monsters… to the erupting entrance of Godzilla and his fellow titans as they emerged from within the mountain! The audience once again cheered at seeing the legendary Toho behemoths back to their real size and power!
The sorceress exclaimed, "Ha! I will not be stopped by a pretender to the throne! You are not a real princess of royal blood!".
Sofia replied back with a voice that was full of strength and conviction, "I may not have royal blood in my veins… but I have a heart and mind that is of royalty! Of the good kind! I AM a princess! Daughter of King Roland and Queen Miranda, sister to Amber and James… and most importantly… daughter of the One On High! That is more than enough for me, and also gives me the right to protect my home and friends from you!".
Cosmina screamed loudly and commanded, "My minions, sweep her and the others away!".
Sofia exclaimed, "Everyone, let's go!".
That is when a very powerful rock guitar piece played, signaling that another song was going to be played. It was Final Stand, and the moment the barges connected with one another… the music played on full blast while the forces of Good and Evil clashed in battle! Sofia and Cosmina sung their parts as the others battled in the middle of the lagoon! While the space was limited yes, the actors/actresses played their parts extremely well with the choreographed fight. The patrons all over the lagoon cheered and yelled wildly, many supporting Sofia's side while some actually rooted for Cosmina's side due to having a soft spot for villains/villainesses.
The globe also showcased the fight between the Toho legends, and the monsters that were designed by Hannah-Barbara long ago. It was no surprise that many mature audience members were still stunned to see 1970's monsters they saw as children years ago brought back, now battling against Godzilla and the other kaiju.
When the song ended, the forces went back to their respective sides… and it was Cosmina and Sofia that came up to the plate! The two leaders of their armies; one of evil, one of good… stood face to face on the floating platform!
Sofia exclaimed, "Sorceress Cosmina, we give you one last chance to surrender!".
Cosmina laughed lightly in an arrogant fashion and remarked, "And I… give you no chance at all!". She rushed forward to attack, putting Sofia on the defensive as she brought her shield to bear.
The two started to move around the platform in a circle, Sofia defending against the strikes of her enemy while the sorceress was quick in her strikes with her staff. The other members watched on, the minions of evil screeching/howling for their mistress while the army of Good cheered encouragement for Sofia. It was brilliantly executed the performance, showing to all once again that the actors/actresses of Disney did not mess around at all when it came to performance. They practiced day in and day out, for many hours and times until they got it all memorized with both their minds and bodies.
This kept up for five or so minutes until Cosmina did a low sweep that knocked Sofia off her feet and on her back! The sorceress came upon her, staff raised up to deliver the strike! She stated with wicked glee, "Your time has come, Princess Sofia!".
She was about to bring the staff down on her… when a familiar roar filled the air! The audience and characters looked to the globe, and saw that it was the face of Godzilla now showing for all to see! It was shown at a part of the movie/novel where he had come to aid her in the time of need when she fought against the villainess in the mountains.
Godzilla spoke in the human voice he was given, "Sofia, what are you doing on the ground?! Rise up and take down the enemy before you!".
The small princess cried out, "But, I'm not match for her alone…".
The King of the Monsters roared out, "SILENCE! You are not alone! You're family and allies are with you, myself and the other monsters are with you! And most importantly of all… the Light of the World is with you! Did you forget that already?!".
Sofia looked behind her to see her family and friends, who rose up as a spotlight was on them. They nodded their heads, each stating that they were with her. On the globe, Godzilla roared in his real voice for all to hear! And… the sphere changed to show Jesus Christ once more! He looked down at Sofia and nodded his head, showing He was with her all this time.
The princess of Enchancia brought herself back up, soon holding herself high as her armor started to shine a brilliant white! On the costume were special electrical lines that were water-proof just in case, and could be activated with the aid of a remote control. The shield also had said electrical lines, specifically on the form of Godzilla's head.
The courageous young lady looked at Cosmina and exclaimed, "Sorceress Cosmina… you were a fool to delve into the evil arts of magic! Judgement has come for you… and I shall deliver it like a servant!".
Cosmina screamed loudly and was about to charge… when the shield Sofia wielded was thrust forward and flashed a brilliant white light! On the globe, it showed the scene were the princess unleashed Godzilla's 2nd Finishing Move… the Pristine Breath technique! The float soon had firework sparklers explode on the side of Cosmina's forces, causing the minions to fall down as well as the sorceress herself!
It was over! Sofia had won!
However, things went differently than some would expect. Instead of celebrations for the victory, Sofia dropped her shield and went over to Cosmina. The globe stayed on, but the whole area was bathed in darkness save for a spotlight that shone on the princess and her fallen foe. The sphere showed a close up of Jesus's face, and it looked like he was looking down at Cosmina's prone form. Behind him were Cosmina's family, the ones she left behind long ago. It was Costel & Ilinca Liviu, her father and mother respectively. And with them was her brother Skender, along with his beautiful wife Sorina.
Ilinca spoke, "My dear Cosmina, you are near death. Please… come back to use! Renounce your ways and accept Jesus Christ!".
Cosmina replied weakly as she reached up to the sphere, "Mama… Daddy… help me…".
Costel remarked gently, "Dear, you do not have much time left. Please… Please say the words from your heart! Please…".
The fallen form of the villainess moved a little, and a weak voice renounced her evil ways and accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. Than… the spotlight went off her as it indicated she was dead. However… the spotlight came back on after a minute or two, the globe shining with pure white light! It also showed Cosmina getting back up… and her outfit had changed! The costume was designed to change via remote control, going from black/red & ominous… to a pure white with blue trimmings where the red ones used to be! She rose up slowly, everyone in awe at the change & how simple but elegant the costume was now.
Sofia was in awe as she too rose up, and the lights came on to see that everyone was now looking at the changed character. Cosmina looked at herself, than at Sofia. She kneeled down to her and whispered, "Princess… Sofia, I… I… that is…".
The princess put a hand on her shoulder and said, "I forgive you, Cosmina. If Jesus can forgive you, then so can I.". This statement got the audience to really say 'awww' to this, and soon clapping when Cosmina gave her a hug that showed she was very relieved and glad to have the forgiveness from someone that she caused much pain and grief before she was released from the poison she had been intoxicated in for so long…
The globe changed to show Godzilla and the others, the saurian roaring loudly in approval and in victory! The forces of Good also cheered, as did the audience as they really got into it! Cosmina and Sofia released the hug, the former sorceress very glad that she was finally free in more ways than one. After some time of celebration, the lights went off all around as the barge moved swiftly back to the right side of the lagoon.
The announcer came on again:
Sofia and her forces had won the day against Cosmina, who before death managed to renounce her evil ways & save her soul from a fate worse than death. And after the battle, she managed to cleanse the Amulet of Avalor from the evil enchantment that was still on it.
The globe turned on once more, showing the part where Sofia called on the authority of Christ to remove the taint from her amulet! And the scene showed what happened within the magical object, where a changed and very ominous-looking Elena of Avalor was cleansed and changed back to her true, real form!
Soon… the time had come for Sofia to say farewell to her companions. First to go were the legendary Disney characters, as they wished Sofia and her family a fond farewell before going back to their own respective realms. And after that, they all managed to recover at Razorwood before arriving back to Enchancia!
The sphere showed what happened, where Ariel and the others gave fond farewells to Sofia and the family before vanishing back to their respective kingdoms. And also the angels, Josiah and Jesus going back to Heaven as well. And also showing what occurred when royal family and the kaiju returned to Razorwood. It soon showed what happened when the group finally made it back to Enchancia.
The monsters were reduced back to human size, and given a farewell party that most would not likely forget anytime soon.
The video sphere than showed what occurred when the Toho legends were turned back down to human size, and many laughed at seeing what Godzilla had to endure at the party when he and the others were made the guests of honor.
Soon, the time came for Sofia the First and her family & friends to say goodbye to Godzilla and the others…
The lights came back on, showing the large barge from before floating back to the middle of the lagoon. A musical score was playing now, one familiar… it was the song To The Stars!Sofia and her family were dressed back in their iconic clothing, and with them were her friends. In front of them was Godzilla and the others kaiju, all ready to go home. Sofia looked to the saurian and said, "Well… this is it. Thank you very much for everything you and the others done for us, Godzilla.".
The mighty monster spoke, "Be strong and brave, little one. You possess the potential in becoming a great ruler. Stay true to yourself, and stay true to the High One who has always been with you! We will keep an eye on you from our place above.".
A sad musical score played when Sofia than rushed and hugged the monster, showing she was very sad to see him go… yet happy at least that he was going back to Paradise. Miranda walked forth and embraced Biolantte, James doing the same with King Caesar & Amber to Mothra. King Roland walked to Rodan and Anguirus, doing a bow to them as a sign of respect.
The globe shone white, and the voice of Jesus came from it, "EVERYONE… IT IS TIME.".
The humans separated from the titans, and that is when the floating platform separated! The Toho legends floated away from Sofia and her family to the left, said royal ones and their friends waving and calling out goodbye to the ones who had saved their kingdom. Once they were at a good enough distance, the globe changed to show Sofia's amulet… which had Godzilla's tooth within it!
Sofia caressed her magical trinket and said for all to hear, "Goodbye Godzilla… and thank you for everything!". That is when the musical score stopped.
Amber looked to her sister and asked, "So… what do you think we should do now?".
The purple-clad princess caressed her amulet for a bit, than answered, "I say we put down everything that occurred in a book… our own special tome!".
Roland answered, "That is a good idea, sweetheart! Chronicle this adventure for future generations to learn about!".
Miranda hugged her daughter and added, "That is a fantastic idea, Sofia! We can make sure that none of this gets lost to time.".
Sofia hugged her back and put in, "Yes! The princesses told me that they too wrote down what happened when Godzilla and the others came here, so I want to do the same. Let's all write it together, so that it accurately tells EVERYTHING!".
James jumped in the air and whooped for joy. He exclaimed, "Whoo hoo! This is going to be fantastic! The Enchancia Secret Tome, that's what we should call it!".
Sofia giggled at the antics of her brother but said, "I was thinking more along the lines of what Melody and the others told me. They named their tomes Monsters and Magic, and it kinda fits. So how about we do the same? We name it… Monsters and Magic: Sofia's Adventure?".
The others talked about it for a bit, than nodded their heads as one as they agreed with the title. This was an adventure undertaken by her, so it was only fair that the title be about her.
Sofia looked to the audience all around them and stated, "Well everyone, we hoped you enjoyed the show! We'll see you all next time, and remember… when you put your faith & trust in the Lord, you're on the right and real path!".
Miranda added, "Now everyone, please shout out with us at the count of three!".
The whole cast called out, "One… two… three! MONSTERS AND MAGIC!". When the audience counted down, and shouted out the words… the globe lit up to show Godzilla who let loose his famous roar for all to hear! Godzilla's Main Theme came on once more, and that is when the finale started!
Fireworks soon lit up the sky, bright and bold colors lighting up the night! The audience cheered as they saw the pyrotechnics in full display! This lasted for several minutes, the audience seeing that the fireworks also exploded into different shapes! The green sparkle fireworks formed the shape of Godzilla's head, brown ones made Anguirus's head, gold and blue ones made Mothra's head, and so on. When the theme ended, so did the fireworks and the audience was just going crazy!
The positive energy increased ten-fold when coming back on the scene in their own barge were the special guests for the park!
Ariel Winter, Darcy Rose Byrnes, Dwayne Johnson, Carman, Rick & Cindy Godwin and more came on the scene as their little floating platform connected with the large one. The stars and starlets of the silver screen, be it national or local, greeted the cast of the performance in various ways. Many in the audience were now taking pictures of the people living it up with the characters that had just put on a wonderful performance!
After some time greeting and letting the patrons cheer more, Ariel held up her microphone and exclaimed, "Well everyone, did you like the show?". That received a standing ovation from every man, woman and child in the entire plaza and Pavilions!
Darcy put in, "I'm glad you enjoyed that! I know we all did! I have to say, it's still amazing on how Toho and Disney could just come together like this! Know what I mean?". A vast majority agreed with her, because to this day it was amazing on how Disney was able to fuse together with Toho with a touch of Christianity to it.
Dwayne took over, "Same here with me. And also, just got to say… I am glad that it is so! Disney and Toho coming together is really the best decision the companies have ever done! And in a unique way that only DJ Rodriguez could have done!".
Carman put forth, "You can say that again, my friend! And everyone, me and everyone else would like to say something before you all go. It is close to 10:00 p.m., now.". It was true, the performance had gone well past the normal closing hours, and it was about 9:45 p.m.
Cindy Godwin said, "That's right, and we hope you accept it! Father God, thank you for being with everyone and blessing all who have come here to see the show and us! Protect and guard everyone as they go home, cover them with your love, grace, strength and wisdom Jesus! May you be blessed very much going out just like you came in! In Jesus name, amen!".
A resounding echo of AMEN came from all over the land, showing that a vast majority had accepted the prayer!
Ariel exclaimed, "And now everyone, there is just one thing you all have to shout out now! Everyone, ready? 1… 2… 3!".
A loud shout of MONSTERS AND MAGIC filled the area, being heard almost a half mile away! The audience cheered once more before starting to file slowly out of the park, the many families and guests of the park talking about this for the night… and many going to talk about it for quite a long time, for years to come!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it! It is all done! I thank you all for being patient with me, and also for taking a look at my work here! I really do appreciate it!
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and thanks to God! Lord, thank you for helping me with this. And also thank you for helping me to be a better son to my parents, brother to my sisters and my brother-in-law's, uncle to my nephews and nieces… and also thank you for helping me to become a better man. I still have a long ways to go, but I believe with all my heart that I am on the right and true path. Thank you Jesus also for my readers and reviewers out there, for they are blessings from you in my view! Thank you!
I really had fun making this last chapter here, and I really hope that you enjoyed it too. It's not easy turning a novel into a play like this, so I give props and credits to those who have given their time, energy and devotion to the Disney plays I have seen at Disney World.
Now, I will ask my questions here! Ahem…
Which side of the park would you want to see the show from; the Pavilions or the Plaza?
What would your reaction be at seeing the special guest stars coming in on the floating platforms?
How would you design Cosmina's outfit? Both the villainous & redemption one?
What was your favorite part of the performance, and why?
If you had the capabilities, what kind of attraction/ride that features any of the Monsters and Magic novels would you like to put in which park? (In my case, I would like to put up a Dark-style ride where the guests go into cart & go through various scenes of the first Monsters and Magic novel! Similar to the Dinosaur ride at Animal Kingdom. And I would set the ride at Disney's EPCOT near the Japan Pavilion!)
And finally… who else would you like to see be with Ariel and the other special guests? And why?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!)
