Just Like Magic: A Suite Life/Waverly Place Crossover

Part 10:

Not long after, in a relative kind of way…

Out from the back of a passage… Archim appears: With robes of leather wear crimson, a amulet of robot like visor red…and a silvery cavernous like family wizard wand that no longer has family but himself to call its own. He looks hesitantly forward: Hesitantly, as if it hurts to look at. Low sounding, he comes out and says it, "what are you doing to her?!"

Deiselle brushes it off, "moderate sigh. This side of Alex is determined to hate me, no matter what I offer. I'm merely "keeping" her happy to go on hating me." Archim pauses: His wand slowly lowering down.

Tiredly, he reluctantly says, "if you say so, Deiselle. But, I still don't like it." With a hint of annoyance, Deiselle suggests, "then why don't you do us both a favor, and don't watch?"

Archim concludes firmly, "no. Sigh. I trust you: I just don't like it much." Deiselle smiles back, knowing she's already won in his favor.

From the pool of rocks, Sneaky Alex scoffs, "yeah, right. She's far from trusting. I wouldn't."

Turning back to her, Deiselle mutters cruelly, "oh, who asked…?!"

But, before Deiselle could finish… Girly Alex appears right before her: Having managed to spell cast herself to Sneaky Alex's location. Deiselle's cruel smile resurfaces, "good. Good. Now both of your sides are here."

Girly Alex brings up warily, "for what?!"

Sneaky Alex breaks it down for her, "she wants one of us to be the future queen of her mystical "playset", or she'll wipe away our world in darkness. Nervous chuckle. Somebody had to say it. Right?"

Deiselle has just remembered the crystal ball still in her hand. The eternal darkness sweeps into the lights. All of light in the world is running out. The power is going out…in a very slow motion like state of time. Time is running out: It's just a question of how much will be left.

Deiselle cruelly cheerfully figures, "and just when I was thinking this couldn't get any easier. So…which "lucky princess" is it going to be?" The two Alexs look nervously at each other, mostly avoiding Deiselle's impatient gaze.

What no one notices…are the crystalline fireballs going out one by one.

Meanwhile, down deep down the lava flow…

Cerise fly-by charges at Zack, with his mystically glowing ruby claws. Zack pilots the flying couch down a steep sloping up rock face. The rock face is torn to volcanic shards. Half tauntingly, Zack calls out, "oh, come on! Don't you have better things to do than come after a harmless old couch?"

Cerise is about to fire breath blast at him. But, in midair… He pauses, "yeah. You think I would."

The charmed Lava Dragon echoes, "you are…are not lava. You are friend." ZapperWitch23 smiles up at him, "much better. See those two dragons? They only feed you. They'd rather play with people than you. They don't deserve to play with you. But, I'd play with you." The Lava Dragon looks nervously around, seeing Crimson and Cerise going after other players. The very thought has shook his impulsiveness to the very core.

At StrawberryPrincess 312, Crimson roars, "when I'm finished with you…you will be!" With her fire breath put out for the moment…she quick slices her mystically glowing ruby claws into the molten rock beds.

A tidal wave of lava rises from the volcano's depths. Rock Heeled Princess reactively goes into a sharp turn, hoping to escape it. But…it sweeps her down into the lava below. Her hovering health bar is burning all the way to zero. Her leather wear is burning up in smoke. StrawberryPrincess312 spell casts a water blast to buy herself time to fly over. But, looking down over the lava… She realizes she's too late for her.

Rock Heeled Princess calls out, "go! Go…get world…pea…c…!" Teary eyed, StrawberryPrincess312 shakily nods, "ok." She takes off, just as Crimson is coming back around. Rock Heeled Princess vanishes from the volcano…to reawaken away from it all.

Zack turns the couch around, centering on him. Zack slyly leads Cerise on, "right. So, here's a random thought: Why don't I just "cower in fear" before your magical overlord, and let her do your dirty work for you?"

Cerise considers, "tricky. But, that would be a lot less fun." He charges after Zack again: Fire breath and all.

Still a little shaky, the Lava Dragon firmly voices, "but…Crimson and Cerise my friends too. They…look up to me." ZapperWitch23 mutters, "yeah: As a giant pet dragon." Her mystical hold on the Lava Dragon suddenly breaks apart. He cries out furiously, "lava! Lava!"

The rock faces are collapsing from within. Shards of ruby, emerald, diamond, and gold rain down into the swirling down lava. The passages are closing in…in fire and marble dust.

The Lava Dragon lava breath blasts right through the Stardust storm. Fearfully, ZapperWitch23 run jumps off the vaporizing Stardust. She lands hard against the molten rock beds. Her health bar is instantly down to half the size. Clutching her aching side, she crouches behind some rock faces. The Lava Dragon is coming in fast. ZapperWitch23 breaks into a run…with lava breath scorching the rocks to goop behind her.

Zack mutters, "dang it!" He slingshot flies high into the leftmost passage…scraping the flying couch against some falling rocks at high speed.

Cerise's fire breath blast nearly hits the flying couch, blasting the rocks to smithereens instead. The gold tiles fly through the dissipating stardust mist…tearing through the edges of caving in rock.

Zack ducks from the storm of tiles. He sits back up, in the rising darkness of the passage. He goes, "phew." Then…he realizes he spoke too soon.

The flying couch is really catching fire now. Cerise slightly laughs, "intruders: They never learn."

Zack looks like he's about to panic. But, then… He gets a idea, "oh…wait. Eightus bitus couctus!" The couch is rapidly turning into 8-bit.

Cerise starts to mutter, "did I j…?" In seconds, the couch just disappears: Leaving Cerise behind in the caving in marble dust.

Deeper, in the inner workings of Magic Medieval Quest…

The flying couch rockets into Magic Medieval Quest's internet integrated online connections: Fog shrouded circuitry and all. The passing electrons look like underwater beacons, blinking away in the fog.

Stainless glass mirrors float plentiful, each with a story of Magic Medieval Quest to tell: Even for the two Alexs, with their story playing out before Deiselle.

It all comes together before Zack, "oh...no." He says determinedly, "I'm coming!"

But, just as Zack is about to come flying in to save the day… A glass mirror has caught his eye. From within, Rock Heeled Princess calls out, "go! Go…get world…pea…c…!" Teary eyed, StrawberryPrincess312 shakily nods, "ok." Zack figures to himself, "ohhhh."

In a matter of frozen time, in Deiselle's great chamber…

Only two crystalline fireballs flicker on. Deiselle cruelly cheerfully figures, "so…which "lucky princess" is it going to be?" She scoffs, "fine. You had your chance. Archim, keep your wand ready! I don't want any "fancy" tricks." Archim says, "right." He has his wand aimed at a growing nervous Girly Alex. Deiselle puts aside the crystal orb, letting it roll away. She starts turning the pages of Kalku Witchcraft and You, "now I'm going to pick who goes and…"

Then, with all the strength she's got… Alexa breaks free. The giant rock on her back crashes down through the pool's side…tearing it asunder. A burst of escaping water loosens the rocks over Sneaky Alex, who kicks off of two of the giant rocks. She grabs hold of another…flip tumbling herself out of the pool.

Trying to remain cheerful sounding, Deiselle calls out, "no! I'm not leaving without the rightful queen." Girly Alex tumbles past the burst of water, dodging a lightning crimson wand blast from Archim. Standing up now, Sneaky Alex slightly laughs, "well, you're sure not getting anywhere." She then suddenly remembers she has no wand. Slightly nervously, Sneaky Alex comments, "umm…ok. You don't seem to have a wand either."

The wand lightning dissipates away in smoke, into the chamber's mystically protected marble floor. The water has dissipated by now. Alexa is coughing hard against the marble floor, clinging to a hint of consciousness. Girly Alex quickly grabs the wand on the shelf. She ducks to the side of a humanoid china doll…before another blast of wand lightning nearly hits its mark.

Deiselle just laughs, "I'm afraid the trick is on you. I've never "needed" to be a wizard to get all of…" Sneaky Alex rush charges into her, kicking her down. The Kalku witchcraft book falls out of her hands.

Girly Alex nervously sighs, "I don't have time for this." On a whim, she grabs a mystically glowing ruby blade. Girly Alex calls out, "over here!" She comes out to face Archim…using the ruby blade to deflect Archim's own wand lighting back at him. His wand overloads in a brilliance of light…knocking him out from the mystical shock.

Meanwhile, from the volcano's depths…

The 8-bit couch appears again: Between online connections, and the mysticism of the coming down volcano. The lava gives way to a whirlwind of tree bark like marble dust. It draws out the Lava Dragon…in a burst of exploding lava. Crimson is swept up in the whirlwind. But, StrawberryPrincess312 flies on against it: Holding her broom tightly. A shaken ZapperWitch23 holds tightly to the nearest rocks, not daring to let go.

The crystal ball cupped between those two rocks is being swept up too…right for the volcanic rock faces. Zack spell casts lightning quick, "crystalon orbalon bouncalon!" The crystal orb bounces off of the volcanic rock faces…completely uncracked. It flies back around the whirlwind over and over: Until StrawberryPrincess312 reaches out and catches it in seconds.

She smiles cheerfully, "yes! I did it. I really did it!" Zack vanishes back into the internet integrated online connections. The volcano vanishes away into darkness. But…the crystal orb starts going very brightly.

Back on Earth… Its glow stretches out to the eternal darkness. The storms of the many seas vanish. The power comes back on. The lights stop flickering. Alex's brother Justin, her father Jerry Russo, her lost friend Harper, Zack's brother Cody, Carey, Mr. Moseby… They all look to the sunny skies, just thankful to still be here. And, cheers of joy sweep the world. For…the wish for world peace has washed away the darkness.

Back with Sneaky Alex and Girly Alex…

Girly Alex gasps, seeing Alexa unconscious. But…it quickly changes to relief when she realizes she's still breathing. And, of the crystal orb on the floor: Now shining in sunlight of a brighter afternoon. Girly Alex puts down the ruby blade, thinking the worst is over. She slightly smiles up, "thanks, Zack. Somehow, some…"

Sneaky Alex mutters coldly, "I…have had…enough…of you and your tricks!" She punches Deiselle down over and over. Deiselle is coughing hard, barely holding onto consciousness. Girly Alex rushes over, "no, Alex!"

She grabs her fist from behind. Sneaky Alex shouts back, "she's trying to destroy our world: She doesn't deserve to see hers!" Teary eyed, Girly Alex lets go of her. She comments, "then I guess we don't deserve to be together. Because… Sniffle! I could never be at peace with a side of me that hurts someone when they're down."

Clinging to hope…Girly Alex picks up the fallen crystal orb. A tear runs down her face. She shows the orb to her other side, "don't you see? Our world is saved. Everything can be all right. Please, Alex! For me."

Teary eyed herself…Sneaky Alex looks up, "I'm sorry. I'm…" Girly Alex hugs her sympathetically, "I know, wonderful stubborn sneaky side. I know." They just sit there, hugging each other for who knows how long: Before Zack on a 8-bit couch comes flying in "to their rescue", and the two Alexs become one again.
