A/N: Hey guys. Here's chapter 24! Sorry it took so long! I kept getting distracted while writing it. This was originally going to be two chapters, but I decided what would have been chapter 24 was too short so i combined chapters 24 and 25 to make chapter 24. This is a longie! i don't think we've had one this long since "Snow White" There is some slight cursing in this chapter but don't worry. Nothing major like the f or s words. Well anyway, enjoy!

Finn was breaking down in tears and screams. The other keepers, along with Willa were panicking

"HELP! HELP!" Amanda screamed. Finn struggled to break the bindings, but it was nearly impossible. Willa did not give up on her plan.

"HELP! JESS PLEASE HELP! NO!" screamed Amanda, crying hysterically.

"Jess please! Jess look at your sister! Remember who you were, who you are! Remember Jess remember!" Willa cried.

There were thirty seconds left on the countdown. Amanda was soon emitting high pitched screams of horror. Willa was having trouble watching it. Jess gave Willa that same look of recognition again. She looked confused and afraid. Amanda's high pitched screams continued. Then, Jess looked down at Amanda, tied up and screaming with horror. The screams were mortifying to hear.

"Manda?" Jess said in a worried tone.

It's really working thought Willa.

Suddenly, the spell began to break. Jess' hair turned from black to blonde and her entire demeanor changed. She was her old self once again.

"Manda!" she shouted. The doors to the elevator began to close.

"NO!" she screamed. "MANDA!" she banged on the doors. Amanda's high pitched screams continued. Jess placed her hands on the insides of the doors and pushed them open as best as she could.

"GO GO GO!" the keepers cheered. It was like a sporting event. Then, Jess climbed into the elevator. "NO!" the keepers hollered. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

None of them knew what Jess was thinking. They could at least watch it though. The elevator doors remained open. Jess must have broken them.

"What are you doing?" Amanda cried.

"Untying you. When I'm finished climb onto the top of the elevator and grab the top of the cable"

"WHAT? ARE YOU CRA….."

"JUST TRUST ME!" The clock began to count backwards from ten. The keepers were gritting their teeth watching.

"FIVE, FOUR…" Amanda was untied and the girls began to climb out of the elevator. "THREE, TWO…." As soon as the clock reached one, Amanda was holding on to the top of the cable, but Jess had only just made it to the top of the elevator car.

"NO!" Amanda screamed as the cable snapped. Jess screamed. The keepers looked away. They couldn't bear to watch it. Then, Willa noticed that Jess' screams had stopped. So had Amanda's.

She slowly turned her head towards the scene and saw Jess dangling from Amanda's outstretched arm.

"SHE CAUGHT HER!" Willa screamed happily to the other keepers. "AMANDA CAUGHT HER!" The keepers began to cheer.

Finn turned his head behind him and noticed a shard of glass right beneath his hand. He picked it up and began to cut away the ropes that bound his hands. He then proceeded to cut the bindings off his feet. He didn't get up right away though. He had to jump up at the Overtakers when the time was just right. The keepers would have an advantage if they caught the Overtakers by surprise. He passed the shard to Willa and whispered to her.

"Don't get up right away. I'll give you the signal when the time's right." Willa nodded. She understood. One by one the keepers secretly unbound themselves and passed it along to the next keeper.

"Don't be so happy." Maleficent cackled. "Those girls can't hang on forever.

"They don't have to" shouted Finn. "Now!" he shouted and jumped up.

Maleficent was shell shocked. Finn motioned to Willa and Philby. He then pointed to Jess and Amanda. Willa and Philby nodded and searched the room for some kind of ladder. Finn pointed to himself, Maybeck and Charlene, then to the Overtakers.

Maybeck snuck up behind Cruella. He tapped her on the shoulder and when she turned around he waved hello and then punched her in the face. The Overtakers tried to form a defense. Charlene went over to Olivia. She began a 'cheerleader routine'

"Hey Olivia." she said giddily. "Ready? OK!" She began to make different arm motions. "You betrayed me, and tried to hurt my friends, so now I'm getting my revenge." On revenge she kicked her leg as high as she could and knocked Olivia down. Overtakers surrounded Charlene, but she simply did a triple back flip and knocked them all down.

While Maybeck and Charlene were handling the defense, Finn went over to Maleficent.

"Silly boy" she cackled, conjuring a fire ball. Finn dodged ball after ball, but they were coming quicker and he knew he wouldn't be able to do it forever.

Willa found a ladder in the corner of the room and called Philby over. He helped her bring it to the elevator. Together they held it steady so that Jess and Amanda could get down. Jess swung on to the ladder and began to climb down the rungs.

Finn was still facing Maleficent. He was starting to have trouble dodging her attacks.

"You actually thought you could defeat me all by yourself? Well let me tell you something. You can't" Just then, Charlene tapped her shoulder and said

"Well one of us can't, but maybe two of us can." Then she flipped through the air and crashing into Maleficent. Maleficent went flying back and landed right in front of Amanda.

"Or three of us" Then she used her push and sent Maleficent flying to Willa and Philby who whacked her with the ladder. Then, Maybeck and Jess held Maleficent down while Finn tied her up with rope. The other Overtakers were scattered across the floor either unconscious or too afraid and cowardly to fight back. Once Maleficent was tied up, the keepers began to run. They exited the Tower of Terror and soon found themselves in the fresh air of Hollywood Studios.

The reunion was filled with tears and hugs. Amanda and Jess were holding each other tightly. Charlene and Willa hugged. Everyone was surrounding Willa and everyone was hugging each other. Jess came up to Willa.

"Thanks back there." she said. "For helping me break through the spell. If it weren't for you, I don't know where we would be right now." The two girls hugged and Amanda and Willa began to talk. At the moment, everything seemed perfect.

That was the thing though. Everything was perfect at the moment. Willa walked up to talk to Finn.

"Finn!" she shouted, but he didn't respond.

"What's your problem?" said Amanda. The other keepers didn't know how to respond

"What's going on Finn?" Willa said aloud.

Finn still didn't respond. Willa felt like she wanted to cry. Amanda and Charlene put comforting hands on her shoulders. Jess held her hand.

"Come on." Amanda said. "Let's go back to Wanda's apartment." The keepers began to walk out of the park. Wanda's apartment was only a few blocks away from Disney and the keepers couldn't all fit in a cab, so they decided to walk. When they arrived in Wanda's apartment Finn still wasn't speaking to or looking at Willa. Willa was beginning to get angry.

"FINN WHITMAN!" she yelled. "I can't believe you. I spent the last few weeks desperately trying to find you! I would have done anything if it meant that you all were going to be free and this is how you thank me?" Finn finally spoke to her, but his tone was angry.

"Ya, well you could have done it without allowing Wayne and Wanda to be captured." Willa was infuriated.

"Allowed? ALLOWED? I did everything I could to protect them. When Wanda got captured, it was by her own choice. She was trying to save Wayne and me. We tried to stop her. Same goes with Wayne. He thought that by giving himself up, Wanda would be safe. I knew Maleficent's promises were empty and I tried to stop him. I couldn't. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THINK I STOOD BY AND LET THAT HAPPEN?"

"Well all of that aside." said Finn. "You could have stayed at Everest when you found us. You could have stayed there and rescued everyone else like hmm, I don't know, MY SISTER? How about her huh? How about my sister, Wanda, your mother. The list just goes on and on Willa, but are they here right now? No. They're still locked up in some dingy, dusty old cell because you decided to follow us."

"I WAS TRYING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE!" Willa yelled through closed teeth.

"Ya and we all saw how that turned out. You just ended up getting yourself captured." Willa was seething with rage. You could practically see the steam coming out of her ears and her face was beet red. Just then, Amanda felt the need to intervene.

"Finn what's the matter with you?" she said. "How could you say that to her? Might I remind you that without her helping Jess break through the spell, I'd be dead right now. And so would you and everyone else. If Jess had remained Jez, we'd all be dead right now. So you should be thanking Willa for saving our lives not yelling at her for no reason! I can't believe you!" Now Amanda was angry as well. The other keepers were desperately trying to end the feud. Charlene stepped next to Finn.

Oh no don't! thought Maybeck.

"Well…" said Charlene. "I can see where Finn's coming from. I mean, he's just worried that's all." Amanda stepped forward again. Jess squinted her eyes and looked away, shaking her head. Amanda and Charlene never got along well. This was about to get ugly.

Manda, please don't she thought.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me!" Amanda yelled.

She did. Jess thought.

"How can you possibly think Finn is right in this situation? Willa did nothing wrong!" Jess knew what was coming next. She gritted her teeth.

Don't say it don't say it

"Oh that's right. I forgot. You've always had your eye on him!" Amanda yelled.

She said it. Charlene gave Amanda an 'Oh no you didn't !" look.

"Yea." said Charlene. "Ya, I have. I guess you're just jealous of me because you know that Finn's going to pick me over you."

"Whoa Whoa Whoa." said Finn, butting in. He walked over to Amanda and took her arm. Amanda pushed him off immediately.

"Actually" she said. "Charlene can have you because after the way you just treated Willa, I saw what kind of person you really are and frankly, I don't need the association." She began to walk away, but stopped when Charlene continued to go on.

"Oh" said Charlene. "So you're not jealous that Finn's gonna pick me? So what is it then? Are you jealous that, hmm, let's see. I'm popular and you're not, I have more friends than you, I have more talent than you or is it that I have a mother and you don't." Amanda was speechless with anger. She started to charge towards Charlene, put Jess pulled her back. Finn walked over to Amanda.

"Really Charlene?" he said. All of the keepers were too shocked to believe what Charlene has just said. Finn put a hand on Amanda's shoulder.

"I'm sorry sweetie." he said. Amanda pushed him off

"Get off me jack ass!" she said. At this point, Willa just wanted the fight to be over.

"Come on Amanda. He's trying to make up with you here."

"No, he's not. Someone doesn't go from seething with rage to being all kissy kissy that quickly. He's totally insincere!"

"I think you're being totally ridiculous and unfair." Finn turned to Willa.

"I'm really sorry." he said. "I was a jerk before and I wasn't judging you fairly."

"It's okay" she said. "See Amanda I actually know how to accept an apology."

"What apology?" Amanda screamed. "Finn is obviously faking and you should know it. Honestly I thought you were smart."

"Hey." Finn said to Amanda. "Was that really necessary? How could you talk to Willa like that? Seriously."

"Stay out of it Finn!" Willa screamed. "What do you think? That I'm incapable of fighting my own battles?"

"No! I was trying to help you."

"Well then let's see how you like being 'helped' Amanda, Finn kissed Charlene and Storey Ming." Amanda was outraged.

"WHAT?" Finn backed away with fear.

"Really Willa?"Finn said. "Was that really necessary? That was my issue to deal with. What was it your business to get involved in my problems?"

"I don't know. You tell me Finn. What was it your business getting involved in my problems? The answer to that, will answer your question." Philby walked over to Willa. Maybeck tried to stop him, but it was no use.

"Come on Willa." he said. "That was private. Sometimes other people's problems are not your business so there's no sense in getting involved and yelling like a psychopath!"

"Really." said Willa. "Because aren't you intruding into other people's problems right now? And besides, I only yelled at Finn because he yelled at me!"

"Finn's just upset!"

"AND YOU DON'T THINK I'M UPSET? You don't think I'm concerned about Wayne and Wanda and Finn's sister and everyone? They took my mother Philby. They took my mother and my cousin and you don't think I'm worried?"

"I never said that"

"You implied it you jerk!"

"Wow way to jump to conclusions. You're so mature." Willa pushed him.

"You're a real piece of work you know that?"

"Bitch" Willa slapped him across the face and stormed away. Charlene went up to him.

"Was that really necessary? She's your girlfriend and one of your best friends you idiot! She was right. You're a real piece of work." she said. Philby was angry and he was not going to take it.

"Oh so I'm wrong. Amanda's one of your best friends and look what you said to her!"

"I didn't curse at her for no reason." Willa walked over to Charlene.

"I thought you were mad at me and thought I was wrong. Seriously who's side are you on flighty?" Charlene was outraged.

"Flighty?" she said through clenched teeth. There was practically steam coming out of her ears. She was about to explode.

"Who are you calling flighty? Maybeck, hold my earrings!" Willa and Charlene charged at each other. Maybeck held Charlene back and Jess rushed over to hold Willa. At the moment, Maybeck and Jess were a team, because they were currently the only ones who were still sane. Jess stepped in between Charlene and Willa.

"Look at you two!" she said. "What are you doing? You're best friends and you were about to get physical with each other. Come on calm down! All of you! What's the matter with you?" Willa and Charlene turned to Jess and simultaneously yelled at her.

"STAY OUT OF IT!" Jess was angry now. She had been dragged into the fight.

"Well excuse me for trying to help! I'm done with you two!"

"I tried to warn you" Maybeck said. "Never get involved in a chick fight. Don't you know any better?" Jess gave Maybeck a look to indicate to him that she was not in the mood.

"You were the one who said that this fight needed to end. I agreed with you, and I was just trying to do so. Don't get mad at me for doing what you wanted."

"I was joking!" he yelled. "You have no sense of humor!" Jess walked away, angered. At the same time, Willa and Charlene had stopped trying to beat each other up and looked at Maybeck.

"What?" he said.

"Chick fight?" said Willa. "Really? You're calling this a chick fight." Maybeck couldn't believe that this was why they were mad at him.

"You've got to be kidding me." he said.

"You're such a sexist pig" said Charlene.

"Really?" he said. "I was just using the correct definition because as far as I'm concerned a chick fight is when a stupid diva, Charlene, and a freakish nerdy geek, Willa, get together and go at each other. That's what's happening here." Willa slapped Maybeck across the face.

"Really?" Philby says. "That was really necessary? Are you insane? What kind of a jerk are you?"

"I thought you were mad at them!" Maybeck screamed.

"That may be true dude." said Finn. "But those things were really, really uncalled for. There was seriously no reason to say them."

"Well they are true" Maybeck said. The boys continued to argue. Then, Amanda came walking over.

"Maybeck was just saying things at the heat of the moment." she said. Her words were obviously directed at Finn and Philby.

"He didn't mean them. I know it and you know it, so stop getting mad at him for no reason."

"Don't get involved you stupid little orphan! And don't go making statements on things you don't know. I meant what I said. I never say anything I don't mean." Amanda was near tears.

"I was trying to help you, you…you….JERK!" Amanda slapped him across the face and buried her head in her hands. She began to cry. Jess came over to her and locked her into a tight hug.

"It's okay." She whispered to her sister. Then, she looked up at Maybeck.

"Why must you always be such a bastard?" she shouted at him. Philby turned to Jess.

"DON'T GET INVOLVED!" he screamed. Jess scowled at him. Maybeck was still furious.

"I knew we never should have brought these two onto the team." he said. "Especially after I found out that they had powers. Never get involved with freaks." Jess began to cry and Amanda comforted her, just as Jess had done for herself. She slapped Finn and Maybeck, but when she slapped Philby, he slapped her back.

Amanda was shocked. She grimaced and held her hand over her cheek. When she took it away her cheek was beet red. Finn confronted Philby.

"Dude are you nuts?" he screamed. "Why would you hit a girl?" Philby was speechless. He was too shocked at what he had just done. Amanda ran up to Philby, outraged, but Jess pulled her back.

"Don't" she said. "You'll only get hurt more both emotionally and physically!" Amanda pulled away from Jess' grip.

"What do you not trust me?" she said. "Seriously, stop trying to fight my battles!" Jess was hurt.

"Fine." she said. "You don't want my help or concern? Then I guess you don't want me as a sister anymore."

Jess stormed off. Amanda went into a separate room. Maybeck and Charlene went into other rooms as well, but Finn and Willa stormed out the door and went back to their houses.

An all out war had begun.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed! Just to let you guys know, what the keepers said to each other does not in any way reflect my views of the keepers. I'm a nice person! Also, by having some of the keepers insult others more harshly, like Maybeck and Charlene, does not mean that I am hating on those 's just the way it worked out when I wrote it. Well, bye! See you soon with chapter 25! See ya! "So long farewell auvuidazane good bye!"
