Quick Random Moment

*freestyle fail: Elena and her abuelo*

Elena: Back when I was in school, I always got the hanging
I was that bad girl that never got the spankings

Francisco: What was that? *attempts to take his belt off*

Elena: Abuelo, wait!

*Elena runs out the bedroom with Francisco chasing her*

Isiah: What up? Isiah and Tom here.

Tom: What's up?

Isiah: And welcome back to Avalor's Beginning Nightmare. We're getting close to the end of the story here, but if I get enough support, I'll make a sequel to this story.

Tom: Now that I'm looking forward to doing.

Isiah: But if I do plan on making a sequel, it'll have to be until after Before the Wedding is finished.

Tom: Dude, that story was suppose to be done by Christmas.

Isiah: I know. right?

Tom: Yeah!

Isiah: Don't worry, it'll be continued. I swear it. But for now, let's get into chapter 10 of this story. Be prepared for Matena continuation right now!

Mateo's POV

My eyes were lifted in shock at what Elena was doing. Was kissing me really her way of saying thanks for all I've done for her? How long was she planning on thanking me like this? A lot of questions rung inside my head by the second but none of them I couldn't answer.

About a minute or so into the kiss, Elena broke the kiss and smiled at me. I was still blown away at what she did. She noticed this and placed a hand on the side of my face. This somehow made me get the courage to say something to her.

"Thank you," I managed to say.

"No, Mateo. Thank you," Elena said as I finally let out a smile. I somehow also had the courage to ask, "You think you can...you know..." She responded with wrapping her arms around my neck and leaning closer to me.

"Thought you would never ask," Elena said leaning and colliding her lips with mine again. But this time, I returned the kiss to her. Slowly embracing her in a passionate kiss. My hands were holding on to the sides of her waist. I then assumed she smiled due to where my hands were.

A minute into the kiss, we'd broke the kiss due to Carla clearing her throat. We looked at her and she said, "I hope I'm not interrupting, am I?"

Elena smiled and said, "You kinda did, but it's okay."

"Good, because we should find a way outta this world," Carla said.

"Well the only way out is through one of those spirit world portals," Mateo said. "If only Zuzo were here with us."

"Zuzo? What happened to Zuzo," Elena asked worriedly.

"I don't know. Last time I saw him is when I was saving Victor back at the waste plant," Mateo explained. "I haven't seen him since then."

"Well he was the only way that could've gotten us back to the real Avalor," Elena said not expecting to hear the next response.

"Maybe it's not," Elena, Carla, and Mateo turned around to see Shuriki and Victor approach them.

"Shuriki! Victor," Mateo said in relief.

"Papa," Carla quickly went over to hug her father in which he returned back.

"I'm not so easily defeated," Shuriki said. "Victor made sure of my recovery."

"Good. Because if we're gonna defeat Nightmare, we'll need all the help we can get," Mateo said.

Shuriki took out her wand and said, "I can summon a sorcery portal that'll get us out of here. Stand aside." Once everyone was clear distance from Shuriki, she casted a spell that created a white portal.

"Are you sure this is the right portal," Mateo spoke up.

"Of course I'm sure. It's not one of those wizard portals you summon," Shuriki said walking inside with everyone else following her.

Following the Blood

Elena and Mateo were transported to an abandoned palace in the spirit world. Mateo was the first to notice this and asked, "Now where are we?"

Elena took a moment to figure out how did Shuriki's sorcery portal got to where she was. She then looked at her Scepter of Light and saw that it was glowing. She picked it up and pointed it to her right. It resulted in brighten towards that direction.

"I have a Scepter of Light. Nightmare has a Scepter of Light," Elena said.

"Hmm," Mateo started paying attention to Elena.

"I think my Scepter of Light is pointing me to the direction of Nightmare," Elena said going towards the direction the Scepter was glowing towards. Mateo took a deep breath and followed Elena.

As they were walking, Mateo noticed that the walls had words written in blood. It quickly reminded him how he saw them back at the toxic waste plant. He took a moment to read what was on the walls.

Do you really think you have a chance against ME?

Do you really think you can escape ME?

Do you really think you can control ME?

Elena noticed Mateo looking at the walls and decided to take a moment to look at them as well. She then decided to keep her walking pace going as she kept reading.

Then there were words that really got her attention. She stopped her walk and read what was on the wall.

My friends couldn't play with me. What a shame.

But you can play with me...right Isabel?

What was next to the words really shocked her. It was a blood drawn picture of how Nightmare killed Isabel with her Scepter of Light. "Oh my God," Elena gasped in shock continuing to look over at what was next. There was another blood drawn picture but it was how Nightmare killed her abuelo Francisco. She had a slight tear in her eye as she read what was next to it.

Your death. It reminds me of a story.

You think I'm not ready to tell you this story, Francisco? You're the next.

Mateo saw how Elena was looking at the blood on the walls and said, "It's sad how Nightmare did all this."

"I- I know," Elena said not paying any attention to Mateo. Her mind was focused on how Nightmare killed Luisa, her abuela.

There's never a bright side Luisa.

After a few more minutes of looking at the walls, Elena took a deep breath and said, "I may be able to let my parents' deaths slide, but I draw the line at my grandparents and my sister!" She then continued her search for Nightmare with Mateo following her again.

Confronting Nightmare

Elena and Mateo found a a door that the Scepter of Light led them to and quickly made their way to open it. They opened the door and Elena walked in first only to be caught by Isabel pushing her to the ground. Isabel then turned her attention to Mateo and lunged at him.

Mateo managed to grab Isabel and throw her to the side. He then was caught by surprise when she got up and roundhouse kicked him in the face making him stumble a little. Elena soon got up and went over to Mateo's aid, grabbing Isabel and shouting, "Isa! Get a hold of yourself!"

Just when Isabel was going to make her next move, footsteps were heard behind Elena and she turned around to see the demon version of her grandparents. She then had an idea in her mind and threw the demon Isabel at them, making them fall back.

"I should've known Nightmare would bring them here," Elena said.

"No surprise there," Mateo said before Nightmare appeared in front of them. She smirked and said, "I expected you two sooner, but in case you haven't noticed, you're already too late to stop me."

"That may be the case, but there's time for you to stop this yourself Nightmare," Elena said. "Return my family back to life, and live out the rest of your days in hell!"

Elena's statement cased Nightmare to chuckle evilly and use her Scepter of Light to shoot a beam of light at her and Mateo. "Don't try to act like a hero now. You have no desire for your family or friends. You only crave selfishness," Nightmare said. "Your only lust is to use everyone in your path to becoming queen of Avalor for your own selfish needs."

Nightmare then turned her attention to Mateo. She shook her head in disappointment and said, "I thought I'd expected better from you Mateo. But it seems like you're just like everyone else who goes down the path of a sinner." She then turned to the demons and said, "Dispose of him."

Elena weakly looked up and watched as her demon family beat Mateo within an inch of his life. She tried getting up multiple times but her bruises got the best of her with each attempt.

"Remember Princess Elena, sinners are your enemy," Elena heard Nightmare's voice. "Let all of your selfishness go and think about the sinning enemies." Soon after, she heard a voice that she never thought she would hear, especially at a time like this.

"Elena," she finally had the energy to get up and look at who called her. She gasped at who it was.

"Mama. Papa," Elena called out to her spirit versions of her parents. She got closer to them and asked, "What are you doing here?" As she got even closer, her parents shot a blue beam of light inside her body. This stopped Elena dead in her tracks, allowing her to take a deep breath.

"Carla. Victor. Shuriki. Abuelo. Abuela. Isabel," Elena said to herself before turning around to remember that her wizard friend was still getting beaten to death. "Mateo. I must stop this." She then picked up her Scepter of Light and shot a beam of light at her demon family pushing them off Mateo.

"ENOUGH," Elena shouted at the top of her lungs before turning her attention to Nightmare. "This madness ends now Nightmare! Your games are over!"

Nightmare laughed evilly and said, "I'm surprised you survived my attack. But it won't stop me from putting an end to you and your kingdom."

"You wanna destroy my kingdom? You can do that, kill my enemies, and brutally beat my friend," Elena said. "But when you hurt my family, that's when I push back."

Mateo somehow had the energy to get up and soon remembered that he had the Jewel of Maru in his pocket. He took it out and threw it to Elena. She then placed the Jewel of Maru next to her Scepter. The two powerful items combined together lifting Elena in the air and shooting their powers inside of her body.

After Elena collected the energy from her Scepter and the Jewel of Maru, she landed with a stomp, punching the ground in the process. She then returned her attention to Nightmare who slowly backed away from Elena, soon running away with Elena chasing her.

Mateo decided to make sure that Elena wasn't going to be in any trouble, so he quickly followed her inside a portal that led back to the destroyed Avalor. Once he got inside, Mateo already knew one thing.

There was going to be no mercy in this final battle.
