Chapter 10: Monster's Parade

Justin Russo walked into his family's restaurant humming. It was a good day, possibly the best day ever. Juliet was back.

But he knew it wasn't over, not yet. There was still the matter of the UnderDark attacking. The problem was, from the dream, Justin didn't know how soon the attack would be. It might be today or years in the future. The smart thing to do would be to plan that it could happen today. So, he needed to do two things. First, was make an adjustment on the monster detector and the other involved the Mummy's eyes, which Justin now had in his pocket.

He went through the restaurant to go up to his room. That was his plan, anyway. However, when he was in the living room on his way to the stairs, something leaped on him and grabbed him in a death grip.

"Justin." It was Alex.

"Let go," Justin said.

"Where did you go? I was worried."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because?"

"Because I was afraid you were dead."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence."

"Hey, you were going to fight the Mummy with a bunch of toys."

"It worked."

Alex let go of him. "It worked?"

"Yeah. She's safe."

"Where is she?"

"With her parents. She'll come over later tonight."

"Justin, Archer said if you succeeded ..."

"Yeah?"

"That the UnderDark would...you could die."

"A lot of people could die. So, I need to make sure that doesn't happen."

"How?"

"Well, I think these might help." He pulled the Mummy's eye out of his pocket.

"Pretty."

"Yeah, now that they're not in the Mummy."

"Are those his eyes?"

"Yes."

"What are you going to do with them?"

"Hopefully, stop an army of monsters."

Her brow furled in skepticism. "How?"

"It's pretty technical."

"I'm not stupid."

"Do know how a biomechanical aura-emanating circuit is?"

"Huh?"

"Like I said. It's technical."

"Can I help?"

"I'm sorry?"

"How can I help? Archer said you could die, but if I helped maybe ..."

Justin was silent for a moment. Then he said,"come up to my room. Maybe you can."

Later that evening, Juliet was hanging out with Justin in his room. Actually, they weren't hanging out so much as cuddling on the floor near his bed.

"It isn't that I don't appreciate what you did, but you don't know how much danger you're in now," she said.

"Sure I do."

"You don't know what the UnderDark is capable of."

"I know what Archer showed me."

"You can't trust him. Not completely, anyway."

"Why are you so sure it's a lost cause?"

"No one as ever beaten the UnderDark."

"Until now."

"Justin..."

Juliet was interupted by the Monster Detector going off.

"What does that mean? Is it detecting me? Or my parents?"

"No. I re-calibrated it. It's set to detect large gatherings of monsters only. We're about to find out if the UnderDark can be beaten."

"There's got to be a better way."

"It'll be all right," Justin said. Then he kissed her lightly on her cheek. "Let's go."

They passed Alex's room and knocked on the door. "It's time."

"Now?" she said plaintively.

"Yeah, monsters are so inconsiderate about things like that."

"Excuse me?" Juliet said.

"Not you, the rest of them."

"Oh, okay."

Alex met them in the Wizard lair, down in the basement.

"Ready?" Justin asked her.

"Yeah. Are you sure this is going to work."

"Sure. Maybe. I'll let you know."

She rolled her eyes.

"Come on Juliet," Justin said.

Juliet looked at Alex, "he isn't certain this will work?"

"He's your boyfriend."

Juliet went after Justin. "You aren't certain this will work?"

"The theory's sound. I just don't know if it works in practice."

"And you're okay with that?"

Justin smiled. "You're so cute when you're worried."

"Will you focus! There is an army of monsters on the way, we're all probably going to die, and instead of running you're relying on a plan you think could work?"

"It's kind of fun, isn't it?"

Juliet wasn't sure how to respond to that, exactly. She was still considering it when the monsters came.

"Ok," Justin said. "We're on."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Do you want to argue or do you want to follow the plan?"

She sighed, and then said, "hold on."

Justin held onto her while her vampire wings sprouted. She took off while Justin shouted,"Come on monsters. Follow us. Catch us if you can."

Juliet flew away with Justin holding onto her, while the stream of monsters followed them, not noticing Alex waiting at the Sub Station, watching to see when the last one passed her. When it did, she spoke into a small device Justin gave her. To a normal human, this would seem to be a two-way radio. It was in fact an official Monster Hunter tactical communication device.

In other words ... a two-way radio.

"Justin, that's all of them."

"Then it's time for the spell. Do you remember it?"

"How dumb do you think I am?"

"Cast the spell."

She huffed," fine." Then she took out her wand and said, "wall made from air, be something firmer, be reflective, become a mirror. " There then appear a 10 foot tall mirror that spaaned the width of the street.

From their vantage point, Justin and Juliet saw Alex had successfully conjured the mirror.

"Okay," Justine said,"time to swoop."

Juliet swooped down to the midst of the monsters while Justine put on a pair of goggles with the Mummy's eyes put in the lenses. Then Justin said,"You are now under my spell!"

The monsters stopped. For a moment, they were all quiet. Then Justin said,"You will all sit!"

They all sat down. At least, those immediately surrounding them did. The other started to surge towards them.

"Justin!" Juliet cried out.

"Lift me up, but not too high."

She flew up, hovering around 10 feet high. Justin aimed his gaze at the mirror. The reflection of the mirror seemed to have the desired effect, because soon all the monsters stopped where they were and sat."

"Justin," Juliet said," you did it."

"I think so. Now it's time to take them to the containment facility."

In short order, Justin and Juliet herded them to the containment area underneath the containment center. All this, while unnoticed by the mortal world, was closely watched by the UnderDark. In his lair, he watched the whole proceeding, his anger rising until he let out a mighty howl.

"Noooooooooo! It isn't possible! Blaylock! How could he do that! How!"

"Well, maybe sending all the monsters after him at once wasn't the smartest thing in the world."

The UnderDark screamed again.

Meanwhile, back at Waverly Place, Justin and Juliet were enjoying a moonlit stroll, walking hand in hand.

"It's over, isn't it," Juliet asked. "You saved me from the Mummy and beat the UnderDark. Does this get you a promotion or anything?"

"I don't know," Justin said. "As far as I know, I'm the only Monster Hunter left. None of that matters."

"What does?"

"You're safe. And we're finally together."

"That is good."

They hugged each other and enjoyed a kiss, enjoying their happy ending.
