Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite

By: DJ Rodriguez

(Author's Notes: Hi everyone! I am back, and also ready to deliver another chapter! This one is very long and detailed, because I really want the quality of what I write to shine through. But first things first; Thank you God and Jesus again for helping me to get the drive, conviction and determination to see this story through! I realize that while many love my other works, I love this trilogy set I am writing much more because it really does hosts the two things I really love since I was a kid… Disney and Godzilla!

In this chapter, Maleficent introduces herself and sets out her two-fold plan. To gain a real body, and also to conquer most of the known world! She has new abilities and such thanks to her and Space Godzilla being in that black hole for so many eons. Also, you will see the real determination and strength of the heroes and heroines! The kind found back in the 80's and 90's, the kind I hope to bring back! The mental and physical limits of all on the side of Good will be put to the test!

I am using the song from the movie Rocky V, it's called Heart's on Fire and it was made by John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band in 1986. When you see the action of the characters, you will see why I chose this song. Get ready for some special guests to make an appearance to help out with the heroes and heroines!

I do not own Godzilla, or any of the monsters and/or other designs that are from Toho. Nor do I own any of the Disney characters or places. I do own my OC creations, and most of the songs I made here. If I use a song that is by another artist, I will give her/him/them their proper credits and dues, as it is their right.

Now, on with the novel!)


Chapter 40

Everyone who was seeing Maleficent, be it on the battlefield grounds or from the castle walls, felt a shiver creep up their spines. And it was not of the pleasant kind, that much they could attest to. The animals; Sven, Maximus, Pascal, and Buizel were very much backing away from the witch as she gazed at all of them with her trademark cool, aristocratic look. Even Mushu was getting the bad vibes, even though he was behind his partner/friend Meihui. The humans and non-human beings were also very wary of the sorceress who had just appeared out of Space Godzilla's chest. Mama Odie's senses were on overload, her mystical sense screaming at her that the woman who just made the scene was extraordinarily bad news.

The ones watching from the castle walls, such as King Hrok and Queen Gunnvor who had come to see why the sounds of battle had ceased, were tensing up due to their innate sixth senses telling them that the black-purple being in front of them was bad news. Even Rosetta, who had seen the entire battle through the wall of thorns she was in, was getting really spooked on seeing someone like Maleficent. Iridessa was also seeing the sorceress through the large reflective ice crystal, and she was getting quite nervous.

Even the monsters paused in their actions, wanting to see what this new being that just emerged from the celestial saurian would do.

Regina seemed to be lost for a moment in thought, then something struck her brain good! She took a step or two towards the scary-looking woman and stated, "Wait! That name Maleficent… I know of you. You were the one who attacked the Marcel kingdom in England, my home, sixteen years ago! You were the one who brought in Godzilla and the other monsters!". She remembered the day she was there upon seeing the witch those years ago, when she was a mere five years old. It was something she would never forget, no matter how hard she tried. Though she, her brother Carlitos and the other children with them, were protected by the Good Fairies, Roselia the Enchantress, and Fairy Godmother from her evil minions… she would always see that face that would make her shiver in her nightmares.

Anna and Elsa than remembered the day when Lady Beneditka showed them, with her magical mirror, the day when Godzilla first showed up in this universe those many years ago. They looked at Maleficent's face, and indeed it was an exact match to the picture then saw through the magical artifact.

The sorceress laughed lightly and replied, "Ah, how quaint. Someone does remember me from my earlier attempt to not only gain revenge, but to take over the known world. I hope my… past transgressions left you with some nightmares during my absence.". Regina growled softly, very much wanting to forget those nightmares she had as a child.

Anna and Elsa stepped up as well, the queen and princess having a firm look in their eyes now. The brunette beauty spoke, "We know of you as well, Maleficent. Not as intimately as Regina, but we do know you were the one who started much trouble back then.". Maleficent looked to the two, and sensed that both were quite strong in spirit. And that Elsa's ice abilities should not be underestimated or taken lightly.

The vile sorceress replied, "I see you have done some research on me, and I am a little flattered that I am remembered though many years have passed.". She observed the group once more, noticing that many were tense. Either to flee or fight, she did not know. But at the moment, that mattered little to her. She looked behind them to the castle, and the wall of thorns that had circled the entire perimeter of the structure.

Maleficent spoke, "I see that someone actually had the nerve to imitate something I did years ago. While it does look formidable, it does not compare to my design. I believe that it must go before I can fully take this castle for my own.". She lifted her staff, and it glowed a bright green color indicating that she was using a spell. The entire crew was on edge, especially Genie who had turned into a cowboy that looked similar to a Western movie star legend, John Wayne. In his view, this was a showdown of sort and he was always ready to fill the role of whatever fit best in a situation.

From above the witch's head materialized several large clear crystal projectiles, each the size of a watermelon and in the shape of spearheads. Inside each projectile was a black flame, which some were curious on why this was so. Maleficent let out a small grunt as she swung her staff towards the green thorn wall, and all of the crystal missiles streaked towards their target! Everyone tracked the speedy crystals, and gasped when they saw that upon hitting the natural barrier… black flames erupted like nothing they had ever seen before! Each crystal exploded like a miniature volcano, the black-deep violet flames engulfing the vegetation barrier and spreading quickly! Rosetta let out a yelp and flew from her creation, just in time to see the entire wall go up in ebony flames. The fire was very much potent, as the wall quickly turned to fine ash.

Rosetta flew back to the castle, towards King Hrok and his wife. She panted loudly as she landed in the hands of Queen Gunnvor and spoke, "That… was a mite bit… frightful for me! That thorn wall of mine was thick, and to have it just catch fire like that quickly…". It was her way of saying that getting hit by those flames was a BAD idea.

Back on the ground, the others turned their gaze back to Maleficent, who was admiring her handiwork. Azad exclaimed, "Now that was uncalled for! You are outnumbered here, witch! I suggest you surrender before we get really rough with you!". Almost instantly, the humans and non-humans were ready to either attack or defend at a moment's notice.

Maleficent laughed loudly at the remark that the prince of Agrabah made, apparently finding his bravado very humorous. After laughing for a few moments, she calmed down and looked at the young man with amusement dancing in her yellow eyes. She replied, "Me? Surrender to the likes of you? Hahahaha! Not likely, dear mortal. Like I stated earlier, I have plans for this castle here. For it will soon be my new sanctuary, an abode for me whenever I come back from visiting my conquered domains. And a suitable power source for my linked companion, Space Godzilla.".

Rapunzel inquired, "Wait! What do you mean, linked? You are the monster are connected somehow?". The princess was a clever one, and that was due to all the time she had to endure a lot of tutoring sessions with her private teachers and parents. She wanted to get some kind of info out of the new enemy before her, to get some kind of intelligence that could help her and the others out later.

The sorceress spoke in the same aristocratic tone, "Indeed we are, young lady. Me and the space monster share… how shall I put this, a unique bond here. What you see here is a mere magical construct, my consciousness inside Space Godzilla's own brain. I could never had created this without absorbing magical essence that was all around, especially when I saw the Master Crystal come out. Now that I have enough power to do this act, I can now look for a ritual that will give me a real, full flesh-and-blood body.". That was enough for all of the heroes and heroines to be even more at the ready.

Captain Rissing growled, "That will never come to pass, witch! We will end you here!". He took out his sword, though it was almost cracked to the point of breaking completely, and charged at Maleficent! He was almost upon the tall woman when… he was frozen in mid-air! The others gasped softly as they saw the captain of the royal Arendelle forces covered in a faint lime-green aura, and was frozen in mid-charge about a foot away from the witch. Maleficent gazed at the mortal man in amusement, before with a light wave of her hand, he was thrown hard to the forces of Good! Genie caught him, quickly changing from cowboy to a catcher like those in baseball. He caught Raven Rissing in a large baseball glove, the soldier looking to be very much stunned on what just happened.

The potent and powerful witch stated, "I think not, mortal soldier. For eons, in a black hole with Space Godzilla, I have learned much and gained new abilities. What you just saw, the crystal projectiles and my freezing you with a mere thought… those were just mere fractions of my power. If any of you wish to try and defeat me, than by all means try. I do so hope to test my new abilities and skills against all of you.". In the past, Maleficent would be enraged to have someone even try to attack her, just like Raven Rissing did. But this Maleficent was different. She had learned patience and many other mental disciplines that came with being stuck in a black hole for eons while only two or so years for the rest of the universe.

After a couple of tense minutes, it was Fa Meihui that made the first move! With Mushu turning back into his Guardian-form, the duo rushed towards Maleficent with amazing speed. She let out a battle cry as she leapt into the air for a downward strike with her Asian weapon, while Mushu spout out a tongue of flame at the sorceress. Maleficent was quick on the draw, however, as she used her free left hand to freeze Meihui in mid-air! Her right hand, the one that held the staff, was thrust out and Mushu's jaw dropped a little when he saw that his red-orange flames were being absorbed into the staff's ornament! "What the-?! How in the holy realm did she do that?!", he exclaimed as his fire power was absorbed like a sponge.

Maleficent laughed again, but this time it was with a little more force. She responded, "You pathetic fools! Did I not say I spent countless years in a black hole to learn new skills? This is just child's play for me!". She made another light wave, and slammed Meihui to the ground hard. She waved her staff in the air in a circular motion, and from the green orb on top emerged Mushu's own flame! It took the form of its master, and shot towards him like a bullet! Mushu could not jump out of the way, so he defended himself by crossing his arms in front of him and bracing himself. The blast of fire hit him hard, and despite being a dragon and highly resistant to fire, he was sent back several feet and his scales covered in black burns.

Rapunzel went over to heal her friend, while Regina and Alice aided Mulan by helping her back up. Elsa turned to Genie and inquired, "Genie, what exactly is a black hole?!". She wanted to know on what kind of place Maleficent had just spent years in. The big blue dude swirled/twirled, now looking like a scientist with a lab coat plus thick, black-rimmed glasses on. He conjured forth a thick blue book with the title in gold letters Universal Physics for Dummies- Genie Version 4. Even in a dire situation, he always knew to bring some form of comedy relief.

He flipped through the pages quickly, then found what he was looking for. He cleared his throat, "Ahem… a black hole is an object in space that is normally invisible to the naked human eye. It is where gravity is so great, not even light itself can escape it. Once you entered the edge called an event horizon… nothing can escape, and while centuries or so pass in the blink of an eye while in there, only mere seconds and such pass on the outside.". Now the group understood what Maleficent stated, and were very surprised to learn such information. They all turned their attention back to their foe, who looked at the group like they were mere entertainers like jesters.

The powerful witch proclaimed, "I see my power has caused you all to be more cautious against me. Would any of you like to take another attack on me?". Regina and Alice gave their answers this time, pulling out the anti-magic crossbows that they used against Hans. They only had about five bolts left each, but they were hoping that it would be enough to at least disrupt this construct that was before them. Both lovely ladies gave out a yell as their fired their deadly arrows at Maleficent, the witch sensing that those arrows were indeed dangerous as they carried a vibration that made her magical body quiver a little. She conjured forth a crystal structure wall in front of her, which stopped the arrows cold!

All looked in amazement as their enemy had just summoned forth a wall of clear crystal, and the arrows were embedded in it. Captain Rissing exclaimed, "I do not understand! Those arrows have anti-magical properties, making anything that is magical in nature vanish upon contact. So how-?!". It was Mama Odie who answered that one, the mature African-American woman soaking in everything with impressive mental ability.

She stated, "That wall she summoned ain't magical, boy. That there is natural crystal, and I figure that's what she learned inside that black hole thing!". It was true, as Maleficent still retained her mental and spiritual link with Space Godzilla. She was able to utilize the same abilities as the celestial saurian!

The sorceress came from behind her shield, looking a little bit miffed now. She stated, "Such dangerous weapons you carry, young ladies. I believe it is in your best interest to not have such deadly toys. Allow me to relieve you of them.". With a wave of her staff, the crossbows were yanked violently out of Alice and Regina's hands. They floated in mid-air, then were shot straight into the heavens like they had been blasted out of an extremely powerful cannon! Maleficent smirked, then turned around to see the battlefield in which Hans's army and the Mountain trolls fought. All over the large landscape, various weapons littered about included the bodies of the Claw Crushers. Many were simply knocked out cold, while others were killed due to the severity of the fight. There were no dead or wounded Mountain trolls anywhere at all. During the fight with Hans, the group had done what Captain Rissing ordered earlier. Using their limited but effective earth magic, all of the able-bodied beings moved their wounded and dead to the castle, where the two would be separated later on.

The evil witch raised her staff, and the anti-magical weapons were levitated into the air before shooting high into the skies… right into space. While her magical abilities could not affect the weapons themselves, what held them together did not have the anti-magical properties, like the handles of swords or the wooden frames of crossbows. Maleficent was able to use her telekinetic ability to grab onto those things, and shoot them into the air.

The formidable enemy let out a sigh of pleasant relief and stated, "Now that those pesky toys are out of the way, I believe it's time for me to form an army of my own. To get rid of you all, and clean my soon-to-be castle of any unwanted pests. This… should be most entertaining. Hehehe…". Her whole body was soon bathed in an eerie black-green glow, her magical aura increasing in strength and intensity! Raising both hands, she covered the bodies of the bandit group from Agrabah in a deep-violet aura and they started to change!

Prince Eugene backed away slowly, with Rapunzel close by his side. He muttered, "Everyone… retreat! Run away! Back to the castle so we can come up with another plan! If we can…". He picked up his wife, putting her on Maximus before jumping on himself and snapping the reins so that the old war horse galloped back towards King Hrok's abode! One by one, everyone retreated back to the castle.

Azad, Malak and Elsa rode back on Carpet who was still in one piece. Anna and Kristoff raced back on Sven, Mushu carried Mama Odie and Meihui in his Guardian-form, Alice & Regina hitching a ride on Genie who turned into a blue fighter jet and started to soar back to King Hrok's home beside Vidia and Fawn, and Captain Raven Rissing running back on foot. He did order Vidia to tell the remaining flying ships to retreat, to go back to the castle for further orders. The Fast-flying talented pixie gave a little salute before going to where the Avalanche and Beautiful Storm were at.

However, the captain got a surprise when he turned to his left to see that running towards him was King Albert of Randers! The second oldest brother of Hans's family was free, the chains that were on him earlier vanishing due to his foolish brother being devoured by the Master Crystal. Raven called out as he turned direction slightly and ran towards him, "Hey! King Albert, is that you?! How did you get free?!".

The battered but still-alive king answered, "I will explain later, soldier! Right now, let's head to my brother's castle quickly!". Raven nodded, and helping the weakened man, both made their way to the large home.

Meanwhile, Maleficent was continuing weaving her dark, evil magic around the bodies of the Claw Crushers. She was now utilizing a very forbidden art of sorcery, one that had been frowned down upon many in the magical community. She was breaking the natural barriers of life, now resurrecting the dead!

She cackled loudly and exclaimed, "Come on, my new minions of evil! Let your broken bodies be mended, and your newfound life bound to me, the Mistress of All Evil!". Her spell worked two-fold, doing something different to those that were still alive… and those that were deceased.

For those that have had passed on, their bodies turned from their natural color to a deep violet-black color. Their eyes opened, no longer having pupils but irises of solid green color. From their bodies, eruptions of what seemed to be miniature crystals formed on various places! Like tree sprouts, small crystal spikes appeared on their bodies in the most unlikely of places like armor. However, one thing that was apparent was that a jewel the size of a ladybug appeared right on their foreheads. While the crystal formations on their bodies were clear in color, the ones on their foreheads were bright yellow like the sun.

For the living ones, their bodies gained crystal armor like those of knights. Their eyes turned white and blank, like someone had erased their eyeballs completely. On their foreheads were jewels that, inside of glowing a bright yellow like on the deceased ones, they gave off an ominous red glow like blood.

Maleficent admired her handiwork and stated, "Listen well, all of you! From this moment on, you are all my servants. You cannot be killed in any manner, so long as the Soul Jewels are within your bodies. Your wills are tied to mine, which means you are all nothing more than mere puppets that MUST obey me at all cost! Understood?". The 50 beings bowed to the ground, pledging their allegiance to their new mistress. The sorceress had a pleased look on her face, knowing that while low in number, the ranks would increase once she got into the castle and get the bodies of the ones inside said structure.

She heard a familiar loud roar, and looked up to see that Godzilla had just about enough of just looking on at the scene before him. The King of the Monsters sensed that something bad was happening, his sixth sense telling him that nature was being bent in a way that should not be so. And upon seeing and smelling un-natural death coming from his enemy, he went into a rage! It was time for some action! Little Godzilla joined his papa, roaring-squeaking loudly as he did not like the small black being below. Jet Jaguar and King Caesar did their own calls, going into stances to show that they were not going to permit something abominable to happen.

The witch merely smiled wide, laughing at the four monsters. She exclaimed, "So, you all wish to challenge me and my power?! Well than, so be it! Space monster Gigan, I command you to obey me from now on! Distract your opponents while I deal with mine!". Gigan responded with a clang of his scythe arms, and screeching like the cyborg bird-like dinosaur he was! Maleficent than vanished in a flash of green flames, appearing once again but this time on the top of Space Godzilla's head! She fused her lower body to the cranium of the celestial space monster, and the two became one for the time being.

Maleficent commanded, "Space Godzilla, we will fight as one for the time being! Now, use your secret weapon on Godzilla and his spawn of an offspring! We shall show them the true might of our power!". The space saurian roared loudly, her crystal shoulders glowing as she faced off against her half-brother and nephew. Godzilla did not heed the flashes coming from Space Godzilla's shoulder crystals, stomping over to engage his foe in close-quarters combat! That turned out to be a bit of a miscalculation on his part…


~Inside Hrok's castle~

It was a bit of a sweet, if rather short reunion between family as King Hrok and his queen embraced Albert when he and Rissing were the last to enter the castle. The oldest brother looked to Albert and said, "I wish I could ask more on what happened, but I am glad that you are okay. It was thanks to Joseph and his team that we were able to even know that you were even captive.". Coming out from one of the doorways emerged the brave soldier and his men who had infiltrated the ranks of Hans's army many days ago, Joseph having a small but proud smile on as he was thanked by King Albert.

Kristoff spoke up, "I'm sorry to cut into this moment, but we got ourselves a real situation here! We now got ourselves a witch of some kind that was in Space Godzilla the entire time!". The two kings and queen nodded their heads, knowing that a proper reunion would have to wait. The entire group left the hallway, and went straight towards the Throne Room. Once there, all the heroes and heroines formed a large group circle to discuss on what just happened that changed the battle drastically. All reported to the rulers on what occurred down below.

Meihui spoke up, "This Maleficent… she is truly unlike any kind of foe I have faced before! Me and Mushu have fought many adversaries, but none such as formidable or powerful as her.". It was true, as the Chinese beauty had indeed gone up against enemies of the varied kind back in China. She had even gone up against evil magicians before who had tried to dominate her homeland through magic and summoning of vile creations. But Maleficent… she was in a league of her own, and that worried her.

Mushu commented, "You got that right! Me and my heroine here faced some bad dudes in the past, but none of them could freeze anyone in place with a wave of her hand! Nor bring up crystal walls like she just did! And turning my own hot fire against me… that wasn't cool!". The small dragon still had a bit of a mouth on him, but it was controlled at the moment. Mushu's pride was a little bit wounded that his own flame attack was absorbed and used against him in such a way, especially when it was fired back twice as strong that it actually burned his scales.

Regina stated, "Maleficent is a sorceress of great cunning and strength. Believe me, I should know first-hand.". She than told everyone on what happened sixteen years ago, when Maleficent had come to the Marcel kingdom and just wreaked havoc in a way that still gave the young lady nightmares. Elsa, Anna and Alice already knew of her story but the others listened intently. After her explanation was done, they did indeed realize that the witch was crafty and powerful which was a deadly combination.

"Well, she has got to have a weakness of some kind! Any kind of bad guy or girl has to have SOME kind of weakness we can exploit! I mean, we got that Hans prince by getting him so riled up and angry. Though the Master Crystal thing was something I didn't even take in…" Azad stated after Regina's story. The prince of Agrabah had banked on getting Hans riled up so that he would become sloppy in his attacks, and then tire himself out so they could defeat him. He didn't count on a black crystal dragon doing what he did to the misguided fool of a prince, and also explaining to him why it was so.

A voice called out weakly, "I believe that she does indeed have a weakness, my friend.". They all looked to the West Wing door, and wobbling out was Christopher and Amanda! The two magic-users were on weak legs, supporting one another and having the assistance of Olaf and Zarina. The sorcerer and sorceress still looked worse for wear, but they had been revived back to consciousness thanks to some potent healing liquid courtesy of the Alchemist-talented fairy.

King Hrok spoke, "Amanda, Chris! Why are you even walking around?! You're still injured from that blast earlier!". Queen Gunnvor and her husband were concerned for their friend's well-being, especially after getting knocked out by the feedback that occurred when their potent shield spell was shattered.

Amanda remarked, "We maybe injured, but we're back in this war. And it's all thanks to this little fairy's potion that healed a good deal of our injuries, and brought us back to consciousness.". Zarina blushed a little, saying that it was her duty to help. Olaf waved his hand, saying that he helped too. Iridessa flew over to them and asked on Lady Airlia and Silvermist. The living snowman gladly reported that both were still sleeping well in the room Chris and Amanda used to occupy, and that Zarina used the very last of her healing potion on them. He didn't know if they would wake up soon or not.

Prince Eugene spoke up, "Excuse me, sorry to interrupt but I do have a question. Miss Amanda, Mr. Christopher. You said that Maleficent has a weakness? What is it, exactly?". Many were like him, wanting to know more so that they could indeed find the fatal flaw in Maleficent.

Chris spoke up, "I overheard your report, that she is still connected to Space Godzilla even though she has a magically constructed body of her own. I believe that is her weakness. If we can somehow sever the link, to completely remove her consciousness and influence from Space Godzilla… than we might have a chance to defeat her if we force her to permanently stay in that vulnerable body of hers.". Amanda put in that while her mind and constructed body were still a formidable force, at least they could cut off her only means of escape if she was backed into a corner. That she would be forced to fight on their terms, instead of merely going back safely into Space Godzilla's head.

Kristoff inquired, "Yes, about that… do you have any idea on how to force that woman from the monster into her body? I'm sure that she is not that easily riled like that fool Hans, and also she might anticipate that we try to force her mind into that built-in body of hers.". That was a good question, and what the Ice Master stated was true. Maleficent was no fool, not by a long shot. And since she had many years waiting inside the black hole with Space Godzilla, patience was one of her strong suits now.

After some brainstorming on all of the beings presents part, it was Zarina that had the answer! She exclaimed, "I got it! Why not put a magic spell or potion on her? Surely we have something that can force her conscienceness to completely leave Space Godzilla's mind, and go towards her new body.". Some thought that it was feasible, and at least a worthwhile suggestion.

Amanda spoke, "I saw some potion concoctions in Chris's massive tome in his workshop lab. One of them called for a mixture called Separate Mind, and it is a drink that when consumed, will separate the user's spirit and mind from their bodies. Like a form of astral projection, but it would only last for thirty minutes or so.". Indeed, that sounded like a very useful potion at this particular time. King Hrok asked if it could be made quick, and Christopher answered that it could be made in an hour or so. The necessary ingredients were in his workshop, and Zarina spoke that she would be able to give it an extra boost thanks to Little Godzilla.

Chris added, "There are two ways to deliver the potion into the user's body. One way is for the being to drink it down, and the other is sprinkling it directly on top of the user's head at close range.". All voted that it would better for the potent magical liquid to be sprinkled on top of Space Godzilla's head, that it was safer than trying to get close to its mouth.

Before anything else could happen, powerful tremors shook the castle violently, rocking the entire place! Elsa and Azad held onto each other to steady one another, Anna doing the same with Kristoff while Olaf held onto his legs. Rapunzel was being held steady by Eugene, Malak by Carpet and Genie, Meihui by Guardian-form Mushu, Regina and Alice held by Captain Rissing & Mama Odie, Pascal and Buizel plus the fairies around a standing-firm Maximus and Sven, and the royal family holding one another. The tremors lasted for several minutes, then died down. A soldier quickly burst into the Throne Room and exclaimed, "Your Highnesses, everyone! Come quick! There is something you need to see!". Once everyone was situated, the all followed the soldier to the pathways at the top level of the castle, right where Lady Beneditka and her apprentice was at. Both were still maintaining the shield that protected the abode.

Once everyone was outside on the walkways that were near the top of the castle, they saw a sight that really much took them by surprise. It was Godzilla, Little Godzilla, Jet Jaguar and King Caesar… all trapped and imprisoned in large, clear crystals!


Godzilla and his son had believed that Space Godzilla was weak due to being hit by his Finishing Breath attack, but that was belief was thrown out the window when the celestial saurian pushed him back with a body blow of her own! The King of the Monsters was stunned that his half-sister not only had her full strength back, but that the damage done to her earlier was all gone! Maleficent had used a moderate portion of her magic to heal the damage that was done to the space monsters. While it did take a good chunk of her magic to heal up both her host and Gigan, it was not enough to lose her construct body.

Maleficent spoke up loudly, "Now, my pet! Let us show this monster our secret trump card!". Space Godzilla roared in response, and her crystal-shoulders flashed a brief blue color before the tips fired blue lightning bolts at Godzilla! The green-skinned behemoth let out a loud shriek of pain, hunkered down on his knees as he was now fighting the surge of pain that was coursing through his system. Space Godzilla opened her maw and launched a Spiral Lighting attack at her enemy, blasting Godzilla back and forcing him to go on his stomach! Little Godzilla squeaked in concern and fright, going to his father to see if he was alright. However, he was cut off as massive clear crystals started to jut out from the earthen ground and started to cover Godzilla! Maleficent laughed as she & Space Godzilla used their shared ability to capture and ensnare the King of the Monsters in a cage of solid crystal!

The witch laughed as Godzilla snarled and shrieked in anger and rage, trying to break free from his confines. He tried to fire his breath again, but it could not leave his maw it was too tightly compressed to open all the way due to the crystal. Maleficent spoke, "Awww, cannot fire your flame, Godzilla? That is because this crystal of mine is special, it can actually block you from using that terrible flame of yours! Be it the color blue or red, the crystal will block it entirely! Hahahahaha!". And it seemed that the structure covering the mutated dinosaur was also very sturdy, for not even Godzilla's incredible strength could break through it!

Little Godzilla tried to pound the strong gemstone, but to no avail as it was very hard. He backed away a little to try his Radiation Breath Bubbles move, but he was soon captured in a crystal cage as well! The strong mineral structure encased and entrapped the tiny monster, the little guy squeaking in terror and fright as he was caught. He tried to break free with both his strength and his breath bubbles, but both were inadequate against the trap.

Maleficent was pleased that she had captured not only the monster who was among those responsible for her downfall so many years ago, but also his offspring as well. Though she was slightly curious on how that came to be, she would ponder that much later on in the future. She heard the familiar screech of her slave Gigan, and turned around to see how the half-mechanical being was doing against his foes.

With his health restored and his wounds healed, the space monster was going to work on Jet Jaguar and King Caesar! The two Earth Defenders were still winded from their bout against Gigan, but they refused to give in! Jet Jaguar had attacked first, going in with some strong karate chop attacks and kicking techniques. However, the space monster was now more resilient after being restored as it blocked each blow with minimal damage to himself. The android evaded a devastating left claw slash, and powered up his energy to execute his Handclap move! Gathering a moderate amount in his hands, he let loose a loud clap that sent a stream of light & sound waves at his foe! Sadly, the move missed as Gigan simply teleported out of the way. Jet Jaguar was stunned to see that he just wasted some of his own precious energy, and while it would regenerate back to him, it was something he just could not afford to do at this moment.

Gigan appeared behind the mechanical marvel from Earth, and delivered a slash attack to his back! It cut open a good part of Jet Jaguar's back, causing damage to the circuits inside! The brave android fell to one knee, one arm bending to hold the injured back while the other kept him steady on the ground without falling down. He hissed in pain, "Damn! That really got me! I guess my body is a bit more vulnerable after the fighting I have been doing so far…!". Gigan was about to deliver another devastating blow to the mechanical man, but he was blocked by King Caesar.

The divine guardian beast saw what happened to his comrade, and leapt in between the two in order to halt Gigan's attack. He let out a roar and charged in with a dropkick that struck good and true on the center of the cyborg's chest! His feet got a little nicked thanks to Gigan's buzzsaw spikes, but the rewards were better as the space monster was sent back some distance away. The cyborg dinosaur let out a small screech of pain, then let loose a powerful Shotgun Burst attack at his foe! Energy attacks that were concentrated and in beam form, King Caesar would just return it right back with his ruby eyes technique. However, this burst of alien energy was scattered out exactly like a shotgun would do, and thus could not redirect it. The blast caught the hybrid monster right in the face, blinding him and causing him to clutch his face in pain.

King Caesar stumbled around a little bit before stopping to allow his healing factor to kick in to get rid of the temporary blindness and pain. However, the momentary lapse in movement was all that Maleficent needed! She and Space Godzilla stomped over to where he was at, and he looked up to see the tiny being on the celestial saurian's head do some motions before he was caught in a crystal trap like Little Godzilla! Large, pointy crystal stalagmites erupted from the ground and cut off any kind of escape or movement. The dog-lion monster roared out in anger and tried to break free from the confines. Alas, his strength was not enough to break out from the sturdy and heavy crystal entrapment. Gigan screeched out loud in victory as he saw one of his foes caged up, helpless now!

Maleficent cackled in delight at seeing her enemy now trapped and subdued, at least physical-wise. She stated, "Now, for the other one! Turn and let us capture the last of these so-called heroic monsters!". Space Godzilla turned around and was now facing a kneeling Jet Jaguar, who tried to rise up but his back was still very much injured from Gigan's attack. The witch and space monster used their shared ability again, crystal stalagmites emerging forth and trapping Jet Jaguar! The member of the JSDF tried to break loose, but could not do so with his injuries. He tried to use his Molecular Amplification ability to shrink down to Mini-form to escape, but it was not working. And when he tried to use Titan-form, it took was disabled.

"W-What is going on here?!" he exclaimed to himself. What he, or Maleficent, didn't know was that the crystal was sending off a unique frequency that disabled the android's size-changing ability. As long as he was within the crystal trap, he could not change size to escape or break free!

Space Godzilla roared out loudly, very much in glee at seeing her foes now helpless and powerless in her cage of crystals. Maleficent was also filled with evil delight, very much satisfied with her work. She turned her attention to the castle and stated, "Now, to break the shield that protects the castle and make the structure one that is suitable for me and my host.". Her plan was to shatter the protective spell barrier that was held in place by Lady Beneditka and her apprentice Håvard, and then have her space monster summon forth crystals to pierce and claim the castle! She was going to make it a palace for her, and a battery of sort for Space Godzilla. With a towering crystal set up, it would act as an amplifier and regeneration station of sort so that Space Godzilla would be more effective in combat. Of course, Maleficent did not know the specific science of it all. All she knew was that by setting up a very large crystal, it would keep her host powered up and more durable then before.


~At the castle~

Everyone at King Hrok's abode had just seen their bonded companions be taken down, and captured by Maleficent and Space Godzilla. The ones who had bonded with the Earth Defenders; Anna, Elsa, Regina, Alice, Azad, Malak, Rapunzel, the fairies from Pixie Hollow, and Mama Odie were all very much worried about their friends. All were stunned, and also a bit furious to see that Maleficent had violated the dead and wounded by bringing them into her service in a way that really made them wretch.

However, Queen Gunnvor saw the space monster looking at them and felt that something bad was about to happen. She exclaimed, "Everyone, get back inside! That beast is going to do something! Lady Beneditka, Håvard! Brace yourselves!". The group saw Space Godzilla opening its maw at them, and all just braced against anything for the upcoming impact!

The space monster let loose a blast of Spiral Lighting at the shield, causing sparks to fly due to the chain reaction of magic against radiation/celestial energy! The feedback was tremendous, a shockwave and tremor of such strength that almost knocked everyone off their feet! The ruler of the North Mountain and her charge were straining greatly, but the shield was still in place. But it was badly faded now, the magical energy showing that it was almost gone. Gigan aided his new mistress with a concentrated blast of his Laser Eye technique, damaging the shield greatly but still the protective magical bubble held.

Lady Beneditka strained, but stood firm. She panted, "I will… not give in… to evil… especially to one like that witch on top of that monster's head!". Håvard agreed with her, though both were strained near their breaking point. Just another blast from any of their beams would shatter the shield, and they would be left vulnerable. However, they got help from unexpected source! Six golden lights came from the sky, and went towards the two Mountain trolls. Tinkerbell, Iridessa, Fawn, Vidia, Rosetta and Zarina looked up and their jaws fell down in surprise when they saw on who it was that had come.

It was Queen Clarion, Lord Milori, and the Four Seasonal Ministers of Pixie Hollow!

Lady Beneditka looked in surprise at the leaders of the fabled pixie race. Queen Clarion gave a gentle yet strong smile and spoke, "Do not worry. You will not fall, not to evil like this!". With a nod of her head, the six leaders formed a protective circle slightly above the two Mountain trolls, and gathered their potent fairy magic to aid their comrades. A strong golden glow was cast around the pixies, and over the beings from North Mountain. The duo felt their energy levels rising quickly, like being submerged in a warm bath. The shield turned from its now-gray color to a brilliant golden color with spots of silver into it! And just in the nick of time too.

The two space monsters fired a combo round of their powerful beams at the shield, but this time their projectiles were sent back at them, only twice as fast! The two barely dodged their own weapons as they were now sent into the heavens to disperse harmlessly. Maleficent exclaimed, "What is this?! How did they get so much power in such a short amount of time?! Oh well… just have to do this in another way.". She calmed down quick, showing that her patience once more trumped over her anger.

Queen Clarion lowered her arms, her fellow leaders doing the same thing. The pixies bowed their heads a little to Lady Beneditka and her apprentice, the two returning the gesture as they now held up their upgraded shield with more ease now. The pixies were soon greeted by the others, Tinkerbell and the others flitting towards their rulers and bowing. Queen Clarion spoke, "It seems that we arrived here just in time to help you all out.".

Fawn replied, "Your Majesties, why are you even here?! I thought you were all back at Pixie Hollow!". It wasn't that she wasn't glad to see her rulers, but very much stunned that all six of them would come forth like this. Especially in front of humans.

Lord Milori spoke, "We have been seeing everything that has been happening down here from Neverland. Not only us, but also the entire realm of Pixie Hollow. It seems that your adventures have gathered quite the crowd, and some of your companions here have some admirers now in our home.". Now that surprise threw the pixies, and those who could understand them, for a loop. Mama Odie was able to hear them fine due to her training in the magical arts, and also her sixth sense told her that these fairies were on the side of good. She was impressed by their magical strength, which exceeded their size very much.

"I have to say honey, thanks for the save! We really would have been in a heap of trouble if you all hadn't shown up! And it's good to hear we got some fans where you live!" she told the leaders of the fairies. Some like Lord Milori and Redleaf, the Minister of Fall, were a bit stunned by this ebony woman's energy and way of talking. But Queen Clarion and the Minister of Spring, Hyacinth, found her spirit and speech quite charming and good.

"You didn't answer my question, your Highnesses. WHY are you here? And showing yourselves to others like this?" Vidia inquired.

The Minister of Summer, Sunflower answered, "We came because we want to help! This new person, Maleficent as she calls herself, is one bad and evil person! We knew we couldn't just stand by and have her way, so we all felt we needed to come down here to help.".

Queen Clarion added, "If she is allowed to roam free, the balance of nature everywhere would be thrown into complete and total chaos. That is something we just cannot permit, and so we have come to lend a helping hand. No matter if it is big or small, we wish to aid all of you in your quest to rid the world of this evil.".

A voice, one familiar to the crew from Agrabah spoke up, "You ain't the only ones that have been seeing the action! And not the only ones to want to help out either!". The group looked to Genie, who gazed to his left to see appearing in a puff of green smoke was Eden! The wife of Genie had arrived! The blue dude was stunned to see his lovely lady with him, Azad and Malak plus Carpet also surprised to see the green-skinned beauty here.

He grabbed her in a tight hug, and then pulled away a little to look at her. He exclaimed, "Eden! Eden, what are you doing here?! And what do you mean that the pixies aren't the only ones seeing the action?". He was glad to see his wife, that much be true and good. But he was curious on why she was even here in the first place.

The better half of Genie answered, "I'm here to help you. Aladdin and Jasmine said they would look after our son, so I decided to come and give you an extra hand! Also, I discovered that the fairies in their world aren't the only ones that have been watching the action! I found out that many others have been watching you!". She explained that she did a magical scan before teleporting to her husband's location, and discovered that viewing spells of sort were focused on Copenhagen! And they came from Leylstad and Arendelle! It would seem that the citizens in the kingdoms had managed to gather some potent magic-users to have them form a viewing screen of sort that was locked on to where their beloved rulers were at.

So Pixie Hollow, Agrabah, Arendelle, and Lelystad had been seeing the entire action ever since Maleficent arrived at Copenhagen!


Mama Odie whistled and stated, "Now that is some powerful and useful magic there, child! Mind doing the same for my home? It's in New Orleans in the States!". Many were now surprised that the African woman was an American from the United States, but they would have to ask more about her later. Eden nodded, and snapped her fingers. She told the energetic mature woman that the entire city was now able to watch the events unfolding here, even though it was most likely past midnight in the city and the townsfolk most likely asleep.

Before anything could happen, Kristoff saw that Space Godzilla looking at them and her crystals started to crackle with blue lighting power. He exclaimed, "Hold on everyone! She's going to attack again!". The group and the beings in there braced themselves, while Lady Beneditka and Håvard focused intently on their new shield.

Maleficent let out a loud yell, as did Space Godzilla as they unleashed their might on the castle! Rising up in front of them were small but thick crystal stalagmites, and they continued to crop up like soldiers in a formation line. The crystals continued towards the castle, where soon larger and wider crystals penetrated underground! They broke through the ground, erupting underneath the foundation of the castle! The spell was broken, the Mountain trolls not anticipating an attack from below as they were blasted by the backlash. The crystal formations kept on going, until the castle and the surrounding village were swallowed by the hard substance! This lasted for five minutes or so, until Maleficent lowered her staff and told her space host to cease her attack. They admired their handiwork as it lay before them.

King Hrok's abode was a mess now, large crystal formations jutting up all over the area. The village was gone, now a field of sharp and thick crystal stalagmites. Thankfully, the castle was still standing but it looked like a pincushion of sort with all the point hard mineral pillars sticking out. Once the attack had ceased, King Hrok took his wife's hand as they steadied themselves. He called out, "Is everyone okay?!". He got a response of groans and moans, but thankfully all were alright. Some were a bit bruised up, but that was superficial at best. The soldiers, human and Mountain troll, had taken the brunt of the attack but thankfully were still able to move and such. One soldier came to him and reported that the place where the dead and wounded were taken care of was missed completely.

"That is a bit of good news, and good blessings on our part." Hrok stated. He really valued honor and life, glad that the wounded were safe and that the dead Mountain trolls were now desecrated like the bandits that Maleficent took into her service. Also, that Christopher's lab and room, where Silvermist and Lady Airlia were sleeping in, had been missed as well. Another stroke of good fortune.

King Albert was helped up by some soldiers and inquired, "Brother… what is our next plan? Do we retreat and come back with a plan later? Or… do we continue to fight, winging it out as some would call it?". Many looked to the ruler of the land, especially Lady Beneditka and Håvard, who were aided by their Mountain troll breathern. King Hrok looked to everyone, then around the castle that was now decimated by the attack, and finally to Space Godzilla and Gigan, who roared in dark victory as they stood there.

He sighed, and looked to his beloved wife before looking to the ones that had come to help him out. He answered, "I do not know about you all, since you came of your free will to help me out. You all have a choice to go back or not, to retreat to safer ground. But… I choose to stay and fight. I will not let my land be taken by those monsters, especially one as vile as the one sitting on top of that lizard's head! I will do what I can to fight it out, till the bitter end.". His Queen Gunnvor took his hand in hers, saying that she was going to stay too. Her loyalty, love and devotion to her husband was fierce, fiery and strong. She would stay and help her half, no matter what.

Azad stood up straight and spoke, "Count me in too! I do not wish to flee as well, especially from Maleficent! I will fight, and do what I can and must to free this land… no, the world from her encroaching grasp! But I know I will need some help.". Malak went to her brother, stating that she was with him. They were family, and she was going to stick by her sibling no matter what as well. Genie, Eden and Carpet went to the Agrabah royalty, all putting their support behind them.

Elsa looked at the scene, than at Azad. She saw that he was much more then what she saw, that his heart and spirit were strong and burning like magma. She stated, "Azad, you have my help as well. I cannot say for my sister, her intended and our friends. But I will say this… the Snow Queen here is at your service, and ready to deliver frosty justice on that witch and her minions!". Azad smiled brightly, very much glad to see someone who used ice as a weapon, now have something that was burning within her soul!

Anna remarked, "Wait a minute, Elsa! You are not going to have all the fun here! I'm staying too, so don't think you can rid of me that easily!". Her smile showed a strength of her conviction and determination, that she was going to stand by her older sibling no matter what! Sven, Olaf, Kristoff and Captain Rissing joined her, all saying in their own way that they were going to help out Elsa and the others too.

Meihui stepped forward and declared, "The descendent of the heroine of China is at your service as well. I came to help out my friends, and that is what I plan to do! I may have met you all for just a short time, but I consider you friends and it will be an honor to help you all. My blade and skills are yours to command.". Mushu piped up that even though he was unsure of this plan of action, he wasn't going to leave his protégé behind at all. He was back in his small normal form, and was perched on Fa Meihui's head.

Tinkerbell said, "I'm staying as well! I maybe small and such, but I want to do what I can too! You got my services, and my fighting spirit!". One by one, her friends put in that they would stay as well. Vidia, of course, was a bit more reserved then her friends, but she stated that she would stick around. Queen Clarion added that she and the others were going to stay put, that their potent powers would be King Hrok's to command. Silvermist and Lady Airlia appeared, weak but still able to fly at least. Tinkerbell and her friends gasped and rushed over to help their two friends.

Lady Airlia spoke, "Count on us too… we maybe a bit winded, but we're not giving in like this.". While Silvermist looked just a bit tired, the fairy of space-time was looking much worse for wear. She looked ready to go down for the count, and everyone was concerned for her. But the black and white fairy refused to let something like magic drain get her down, especially in a dire situation like this!

Rapunzel said, "Little Godzilla and the others need me, so I'm staying too! I maybe a healer, but I can still fight! So you got my hair and healing power with all of you!". Pascal and Buizel, perched on her shoulders, let it out that they would be right by her side. Maximus neighed loudly, showing that while a bit old, he would rather go down fighting then out with a whimper. Eugene was a bit reluctant, but promised to give his aid too. Wherever his wife would be, he would be there too to support and help her out.

Lady Beneditka spoke, "The Mountain trolls are still yours to command. We may have lost many, but as long as I live and breathe, we will fight this foe to the very end!". Håvard agreed with her, as did the other male and female warrior trolls below and around them did as they let out a mighty cry! While their numbers at the castle were now only to a little over 500, they were still more then willing to help.

Mama Odie stated, "Hahahaha! This is getting to be good! All kinds of people and beings, from different corners of the world no less, banding together to take on a mighty evil! Hehehehehe! I love it! Sounds like my home country, the U.S.A.! You got this mighty magic mama as well, all set to show that naughty witch that good ALWAYS triumphs over evil!". Many smiled, her energy and way of talking and thinking a real breath of fresh air here. Regina and Alice went with her, stating that even though they were civilians with little to no combat experience, they were going to stay and fight as well!

King Hrok was looking humbled, proud and pleased at the same time. Both he, Queen Gunnvor and King Albert bowed to the entire group, thanking them for their support and pledge to aid him in this time of need. He declared, "Thank you… thank you everyone. This means so much to us, and I promise to do what I can so that history remembers this day for all time.". Albert commented that he hoped that history would remember this as they day they all won against Maleficent and the space monsters from another universe.

Queen Gunnvor looked to Anna and asked, "Young lady, it was you who came up with the brilliant idea of attack last time? Do you have anything that can aid us now?". All looked to the princess of Arendelle, who looked a bit nervous as all eyes were on her.

She answered, "Not at the moment, but I know I can come up with something! I just need some help from someone who really knows about fighting seriously this time. Captain Rissing, can you lend me your brain for this please?". The captain of the royal forces of Arendelle nodded, saying he would do his best.

"We can't think out here though. Very dangerous at the moment, and Maleficent might use her spells to eavesdrop on us. Let's go back inside and to the Throne Room to plan." he suggested. All agreed with him, and the group made their way back to the Throne Room, some of the soldiers helping King Albert, Chris and Amanda while Olaf carried Silvermist and Lady Airlia when their strength left them and they fell to the ground. He caught them before they touched the stone floor. King Hrok ordered one of his human soldiers to report back to them anything that concerned Maleficent and/or any of the two space monsters.


When the heroes and heroines went back inside the castle, Maleficent was observing them the whole time. She was tempted to use a spell to eavesdrop on their conversation, but she did not do so. It was due to that her magical powers were a bit on the low side due to her earlier actions, and so thought it best to conserve her magical energies and let them regenerate on their own. She stated, "The poor simple fools… do they not yet realize that it is futile to resist me? Oh well… I shall have to teach them otherwise. Space Godzilla, Gigan! Get ready to attack and demolish what is left of the castle, and…!". She was interrupted due to some activity that was coming from one of her captives, specifically Godzilla!

The saurian was still trying to break free, but his physical strength was not enough as he did not have enough leverage to use his muscles to its maximum use. His maw was closed, so he could not use his breath. So, he was now utilizing a different tactic. He was storing the nuclear energy within him, building it up inside his body. He was not going to use the red energy that his ally Rodan gave him long ago, as he felt that he would need it later. The pores on his body started to flash blue, indicating that he was going to use one of his stronger techniques. His whole body soon flashed a brilliant white-blue color as the nuclear energy soon left out in a pulse, indicating that he just used the potent Nuclear Pulse Blast! The wave of energy shot out in a circle, hitting the crystal cages at their base. In addition, it knocked over Space Godzilla and Gigan who were caught in the blast!

Unfortunately, the crystal cages still remained and the Earth Defenders from another universe were still trapped. However, if one looked closely at the base of the crystal cage entrapment, they would see that the energy pulse weakened the structure very much.

The space monsters groaned as they rose back up, Maleficent very much annoyed yet surprised by Godzilla's move. She stated, "I thought that his power would be blocked. Apparently, I was mistaken. I need to correct this little oversight.". She turned her host to Gigan and ordered the cyborg to start decimating the monsters, to beat them into unconsciousness or worse at his leisure. Gigan screeched out in delight, and turned his attention to King Caesar, who was growling in anger as he could not move. The hybrid was not going to show any kind of fear to his enemy, even if he was trapped and helpless.

Space Godzilla then turned her attention to the castle, stomping towards it so she could bring it down with her physical might. Maleficent looked to her forces down below and ordered, "Be ready to storm the castle as soon as it is broken open! Get to those who are disabled, and turn them over to my side!". The witch had added something sinister to her troops, both the living and dead ones. She had increased their defenses very much, the Claw Crushers could now take a hit from anything and still keep going. Also, being near the crystal formations increased their durability and their physical strength, if only moderately.

Their real deadly ability lay in their new skill, which was this. Anything that came in physical contact with them would be infected by their curse, a dark spell that would turn the victim into a puppet of Maleficent! Fortunately, the curse would only settle in if the minion stayed in contact with the victim for seven or more minutes. If contact was broken before that time, the curse would leave them gradually. It was not a perfect dark magic skill, but still quite lethal.

Space Godzilla was close to the castle, when cannon fire struck her chest and shoulder areas. The space monster and sorceress looked to see on who was attacking them, and it turned out to be the flying vessels The Avalanche and Beautiful Storm! Kassandra had taken the liberty to fly from the castle before Space Godzilla consumed it in the crystal formations, and now she had ordered her crew and the others to attack the celestial saurian. She exclaimed to all as they circled and fired upon the monster, "Keep on firing and moving as quickly as possible! I believe our friends and lady will come up with a suitable plan to stop them! For now, we just need to buy them some time! So… LET'S GO!". The Mountain trolls gave a loud shout as they continued to sail around Space Godzilla and Maleficent, firing many rounds at her while evading her claw swipes.

They were definitely more different and passionate then their cousins, the Rock Trolls at Arendelle.


~Inside the castle~

The group was in the Throne Room and looking towards the captain and princess of Arendelle. Anna and Raven were brainstorming as hard as they could, thinking quickly but not rashfully. They knew the difference between the two, and were trying to see on what they had, and what they could do with the many talents around them. After several minutes, Raven had the answer. He exclaimed, "I got it! I believe I have an idea on what we can do to turn the tide of battle back in our favor!". He looked to Anna first, confirming that he would like her input should she see something wrong with his idea. He trusted in the fiery princess that much.

All gathered around the two to hear the plan.

Raven stated, "This idea is three-fold. The first plan is to free Godzilla and the other monsters from those crystal cages. I believe that they are the key to Maleficent's downfall, and putting an end to this nightmare. We need a team to go outside, slip past the witch and Space Godzilla, and start to destroy the crystals to free them. Starting with Godzilla first, then the others.". Everyone agreed with that, all knowing that the large behemoths were very crucial.

Genie swirled and turned into a general of an army, specifically he turned into Douglas MacArthur from World War 2. He saluted Rissing and spoke, "I volunteer to be part of that team, sir! General Genie is ready to move out!". Also stating they would go with him were Elsa, Azad, Malak, Carpet, Lady Beneditka and Kristoff. Fawn surprisingly volunteered as well, saying that her animal construct powers could come in handy.

The captain continued, "Good, that is Team 1! The second part of the plan is to defend the castle from attack, which means we need something to keep that large monster at bay… though I do not see how we can do that with what we have…".

Eden put in, "How about all of the ballista crossbows and catapults that I saw Tinkerbell working on? Would they help? I can enhance the iron parts of the bolts, making them strong enough to at least pierce the crystal shoulders of that monster, if only a little. That could get her attention on us instead of on Team 1. And also, add something to the rocks and such that are on the catapults that can cause confusion and such.". Raven nodded his head, stating that it was a good idea and to get on it right away. Tinkerbell and Eden gave a brief salute before flying out to get to work.

Eugene spoke, "Me and the others will defend the castle. If this Maleficent is as dangerous as Regina once told us, chances are she will send those 50 she just revived over there with some sort of nasty surprise.". Captain Rissing agreed with him, saying that though he did not know what abilities that the witch gave to her new minions, or what they were capable of, it would be best to be on guard for anything.

The captain finished up by saying, "The final part of the plan is to send a team to keep Gigan busy. Space Godzilla is our main focus, but that living metal monster is also a threat. We need something to keep his focus on the team rather than the captured monsters. So…". He was about to continue when a guard burst into the Throne Room, offering a salute and an apology for the interruption. He stated that he had urgent news for them.

King Hrok ordered, "Speak, young guard. What is it you have for us?". The young human soldier reported that the flying vessels were attacking Space Godzilla, and keeping the monster in place for now. Also, he reported on seeing a blue wave of some kind coming from Godzilla that knocked the two space monsters off of their feet momentarily.

Alice exclaimed, "That is good news! The ships can keep Space Godzilla distracted, hopefully long enough. And what Godzilla did shows he is still has some capabilities to do even if he is trapped.". Indeed, that looked to be a glimmer of light, of hope that the group latched onto. King Hrok thanked the guard, who saluted before turning around and running back outside to do my observation.

Genie stated, "I think I got something that can keep that metal monster busy!". He pulled out his waistband pocket, and started to toss some things aside that the group had never seen before such as rocket launchers, cannons, laser guns, and so forth. Many wondered if this funny character's elevator ever got near the top floor, if one knew what it meant. After some time, the blue dude pulled out a vial that was the size of a baseball and was filled with red liquid.

He explained, "This is what I call Mega Growth Elixir! It can turn anything that drinks it into a LARGE monster, roughly the same size as Gigan! It only lasts for thirty minutes though, and also some mild-side effects on the side. Take a chug, then call the doctor in the morning.". It was Mushu who grabbed the elixir, surprising some of the group including Meihui.

The small dragon claimed, "Hey, if anyone is going giant-sized on that tin-can lizard, it's going to be me! I'm gonna prove to that King Caesar on what a REAL guardian beast can do!". The proclamation was a little bit of a bluff, since the dragon did have a soft spot and respect for the divine guardian beast. He saw the monster as a friend and ally, a kindred spirit since they were guardians to their charges. Meihui picked the small, red smart aleck up, and she & Malak planted kisses on his cheek, thanking him for doing this. Mushu was now sporting a deep shade of red now, smiling a little in a daze.

Rapunzel said, "I can go down to where the wounded are and heal them. It might take awhile to heal all of them, but at least I'll be able to contribute.". All were proud of the princess, especially her husband who hugged her and said that he would be with her to protect and help out in any way possible. Pascal, Buizel and Maximus were going to stay with Rapunzel too!

Christopher put in, "Me and Amanda will go to my lab and get the mind potion ready. Zarina, can you lend us your talent and power?". The Alchemist-talented pixie smirked and replied that she was more than willing and raring to go! Rapunzel had to translate for those who could not understand the fairies jingle-like speech.

Raven stated, "Okay, we all have our assignments and what we need to do! Now all that is left to do is… huh? Regina, what is wrong?". He looked to see that Regina was looking down, and holding a hand to where her heart was at. The group turned to see on what was up with the young lady.

The Spanish-born beauty replied, "With all due respect Captain, I believe that you left out one vital plan here. You see, I remember what happened last time that Godzilla and his friends were down like this against Maleficent. And they were able to come back and defeat her, but not with simple military strategy and strength… but with something even more powerful and true.". She than explained on what happened those sixteen years ago, when it was prayer and faith from all of Godzilla and the other monster's bonded that helped them gain the strength needed to defeat Maleficent before!

Regina looked to Alice, Genie, Mama Odie, Håvard and also Queen Clarion. She asked, "I need your help, to ask for all of those watching us and everything here to pray and give their strength to Godzilla and the others. To ask the Higher Power above to help them out! Can you do this for me?". The big blue cool dude smiled, saying that he would let everyone out there see them so she could get the message out. The rest, was up to them.

Mama Odie spoke, "I got to say, you got yourself a good head on your shoulders, child! You can count on me to help you out! Let your faith and belief shine bright and true, girl!". Alice, Håvard and Queen Clarion nodded their heads, saying they would help. Regina smiled brightly and thanked them all, soon running to where some stairs would lead to the very top of the castle. The others ran after her, Genie saying that he would teleport to Team 1 to catch up with them later before vanishing.

Captain Rissing spoke, "Okay now, it seems that we got everything planned out! Team 1, go down to the base of the castle and prepare to go out. Team 2 are the magic-users, so go up and prepare the mind potion. Team 3 are the defenders plus Mushu, so go below and get ready with Tinkerbell and Eden. Team 4 is already on the move! Let's get this plan underway! It's called… Operation: Rescue World! Let's go!". The crew cheered out loudly, each person going to their designated teams.

Team 1 consisted of Elsa, Azad, Malak, Carpet, Genie, Lady Beneditka, Fawn and Kristoff. Their mission: Break Godzilla and the other monsters free from their crystal cages.

Team 2 consisted of Christopher, Amanda, and Zarina who would be working as best they could on the Separate Mind potion.

Team 3 consisted of Anna, Raven Rissing, Tinkerbell, Rapunzel, Eugene, Meihui, Mushu, Eden, Vidia, Iridessa, Rosetta, the Seasonal Ministers, Lord Milori, Sven, Olaf, King Hrok and Queen Gunnvor. King Albert, Silvermist and Lady Airlia were going to be put to safe bed chambers to rest and recuperate. Rapunzel, Queen Gunnvor, and the Seasonal Ministers would take care and heal the wounded, while the rest would defend the castle in various areas. Mushu was going to go outside and drink Genie's elixir so he could go up against Gigan.

Team 4 consisted of Regina, Alice, Mama Odie, Queen Clarion, and Håvard. These five, after Genie would help them, would call out to the various kingdom's citizens and people. To ask them to pray and ask the Higher One above to give their friends, and the monsters, the strength and courage needed to win against the evil Maleficent and the space monsters.

Genie commented with great zeal and delight as he followed Regina up the stairs to the tallest part of the castle, "This is so great! All of us just doing something amazing to help out… oooh! OUR HEARTS ARE ON FIRE NOW!". He then snapped his fingers, setting up speakers all over the castle on all levels. He then took out a CD that was labeled ROCKY 4 Soundtrack- 1986, and inserted it into his mouth which turned into a CD player of sort. He hit PLAY which was on his right cheek, and that is when a song started to play out everywhere that got everyone, be they human or not, fired up big time!


Silent darkness creeps into your soul,

And removes the light of self-control!

The cave that holds you captive has no doors.

Burning with determination,

To even up the score!

All people were moving to get their plan underway, Team 1 going down below to find an opening where they could leave the castle and head straight out into the battlefield to go to Godzilla first. Team 3 went to where they needed to be, Eden and Tinkerbell doing some last-minute changes to the weaponry that was aimed right at Space Godzilla, who was trying to swat the flying ships out of the air still. Team 2 were now at Christopher's medium-sized lab, getting the tomes and ingredients out. Team 4 was nearing the top of the tower, Regina running as fast as her legs could take her.

{Hearts on fire!

Strong desire, rages deep within!

Hearts on fire!

Fever's rising high…

The moment of truth draws near!}

Mushu was near the wall that would lead outside, seeing that he needed to slip through the crystal formations that blocked it and could only do that in his Normal form. He gave Meihui one last hug, saying that he would come back and both would go home to China after this to tell all on what happened. The descendent of Fa Mulan replied that she was holding him to it. With the elixir still in his grasp, the small mythical guardian started to crawl through any kind of opening and cracks through the crystal barrier that would lead him outside… and to a battle that he admitted had his scared, but excited at the same time!

Time will not allow you stand still, no…

Silence breaks the heart and bends the will!

And things that give you passion are your sword!

Rules and regulations have no meaning anymore!

Team 4 was now at the very top of the castle, on a tower that was now held up by the crystal structures that had pierced through it. Luckily for them, Genie's magic helped as they phased through the hard substance like ghosts. He did so because Mama Odie told him that if they tried to break through the crystals, more then likely the tower would collapse due to losing their own base as it were. When they got to the top, the group saw everything before them, including the monsters plus Space Godzilla trying to swat the brave flying ships out of the air. Genie used his magic to conjure forth large floating TV screens, several that would locate and broadcast to the citizens of Copenhagen that were in different parts of the land that was far from Denmark. Also to the kingdoms of Agrabah, Arendelle, Leylstad, New Orleans and even Neverland! He stated, "There you go! I used my magic to kind of ride on the magical frequencies that others are using to watch us, so we got viewers in all the land looking at you! So, good luck! And in the words of a wise little green man… Let the Force be with you.". He then vanished, teleporting to Team 1's location. The group merely shook their head at the crazy antics of the loveable blue genie, then started to get their message out to the rest of the kingdoms.

{Hearts on fire!

Strong desire, rages deep within!

Hearts on fire!

Fever's rising high…

The moment of truth draws near!

Is here!}

During the musical instrumental part of the song, each part of Team 1 was getting themselves ready and psyched up for their mission. Azad went to Elsa and said, "Thanks for coming with us. Your ice power and skill might be the strength we need to free our friends.". The Ice Queen smiled at the prince and thanked him. But she stated that it was not just her strength alone that was needed, but the determination and courage of those coming along on this mission. But she did appreciate his words, and also that he had faith in her abilities. It seemed that the spark between them was gradually growing, the fire that was in their hearts was burning strong and sure even though it was small. Hopefully, it would roar into something similar to Godzilla's blue breath beam!

{Hearts on fire!

Strong desire, rages deep within!

Hearts on fire!

Fever's rising high…

The moment of truth draws near!}

As the song was winding down, Captain Rissing along with Anna and King Hrok were overlooking the castle that gave them the best vantage point of everything. Hrok asked, "Do you really believe that we can win this, Captain? Anna?". He just wanted to make sure how deep and strong the conviction was with the two citizens of Arendelle.

Rissing answered, "I do indeed, your Highness. It is a long shot at best, and most would say impossible and crazy. But, I do believe that we can win this.".

Anna added in, "We won't can, Raven. We WILL win this! We have to; for our homes, friends, family… and a future! As long as there is even the slightest ray of hope to win, we'll take it all as best we can!". While Elsa maybe considered the Snow/Ice Queen, it was Anna that was the Fire Princess of Heart here!

{Hearts on fire!

Strong desire, rages deep within!

Heart's on fire!

Fever's rising high…

The moment of truth draws near!}

It has begun!


(Author's Notes: And… cut! Whew! This was a long one! Thank you God and Jesus for helping me with this chapter! Believe me, I would have never gotten this far without your guidance and conviction Lord! Thank you! So here it is! The chapter that is now the stage for the heroes and heroines to make the comeback of a lifetime against Maleficent and her forces!

I like to dedicate this chapter to my parents, Daniel G. & Annaliese E. Rodriguez! 35 years of marriage on this day, and still going strong! They have inspired me, loved and guided me in life! So, this is for them! Also another reason for the song, is that to me… their hearts will always be on fire, towards one another and I pray it never goes out or dims!

This chapter is also dedicated to the people of France, due to the terrorist attack that I just learned about. May the fires in your hearts, that value freedom, love and justice never go out! That they burn bright and true, and strong against those that attacked you! Stay strong, people of France! Never give in, or give an inch, to those who hurt you bad!

In the next chapter, see the various teams do what they can against Maleficent and her minions! See romance, action, comedy and adventure in the tried and true ways of Disney and Toho back in the golden age of the 1980s and 90s! Hope to deliver big time in that area!

Now for the questions: What would your first course of action be after seeing Maleficent's new abilities, if you were the ones facing her on the ground? What would you say to Maleficent's tactic in breaking the laws of nature & magic to revitalize the dead? Would you stay or retreat, if given the option? What your plan be in trying to take down the sorceress and her monsters? And finally, what kind of song would you have Genie play that shows the true emotion and strength of the people that are going out to put their plans in action?

R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!)
