To all my readers, if you don't like the way I write Mystic Force, then you don't have to read it and this goes for all of my Power Ranger fanfics, both current and future ones. I'm not gonna force you to read them.
A word of warning, to those of you who like to announce the next chapter (i.e. episode) title of the fanfic, don't ever do that. It's extremely annoying to me and I don't like it. If you continue to do it again for all of my Power Rangers fanfics, you will be blocked until I have posted more than enough Power Rangers stories in order for me to trust you again. You know who you are because it's not a joke and I'm not playing around. As always, no negativity and Happy Reading!
I DO NOT OWN CHARACTERS OF POWER RANGERS MYSTIC FORCE! I ONLY OWN THE OC!
Shoutouts:
Down in the underworld, Necrolai and Leelee were coming out of the rubble. "Oh, what a mess!" said Necrolai.
"Well, that was exciting." said Leelee, sighing. "Are you through with this "I'm the queen of the vampires, I'm going to take over the world" thing you've been into?"
"Yes, well, it may be time for me to reassess my plans." said Necrolai.
"Good." said Leelee. "Then let's get a condo in Briarwood so I can find some friends. No, not to bite them, to have fun with. I tried the evil girl thing. It's just not me."
"Oh, where did I go wrong?" Necrolai asked, dramatically then gasps at what she sees. "What's that?"
Under the rubble and debris, Necrolai found a book. "A treasure amongst the ruins!" she said as she picks it up and opens it. "It's "the book of prophecy". "And Necrolai, queen of the vampires, finds the book of prophecy and tumbles into the inner sanctum". Leelee, do you know what this means?"
"If it means we're not getting that condo in Briarwood, I am out of here." said Leelee, not interested in what Necrolai was saying.
"But this book can tell the future, and I'm on the first page!" she exclaims.
"Goodbye, mom." Leelee said.
"I'll have to gather the surviving foot soldiers and form my own army." said Necrolai, didn't hear what Leelee said as she was so focused on the book.
"Mom, I'm leaving." said Leelee.
"I tumble into the inner sanctum." Necrolai said to herself, ignoring Leelee again. "Tumble? How?"
Suddenly "The Book of Prophecy" rises up from Necrolai's lap and flies away. "Hey! Come back here!" said Necrolai, reaching for the book. "Stop that! Come back! AAAAH!"
Necrolai falls down a hole of the underworld. At Rock Porium, Xander said, "What's up, Maddie? You've been quiet all day."
"It's nothing." said Maddie. "I'm just…I guess I'm a little sad, that's all."
"Mmm?" asked Chip and Xander.
"I know I'm a power ranger, but come on." Maddie said to them. "You guys are the ones that really, you know, lit it up."
Both of them looked at each other before Maddie continued. "I don't feel like I did my share." she said.
"Maddie, that's ridiculous." said Xander. "You're as much a part of the team as anyone."
"Yeah." Chip said in agreement.
"(Chuckles) Thanks, but, um, let's get real here." said Maddie. "Nick did the Catastros thing. Xander, you get all the spell codes. Chip, you saved Vida."
"Oh, yeah." said Chip.
"That was cool." said Xander.
"Vida kicks butt and Lily makes sure that we don't get over our heads." said Maddie. "And I…"
"What about Jenji?" Chip asked. "You helped Jenji.
"As a friend, not a superhero." She said. "Oh, actually, yeah. I did do something special. Lily and I got turned into a stone statue, and everyone had to come and save us. Awesome."
"Well, that went well. I think we really cheered her up." said Chip.
"Yeah." said Xander as they both high fived. They then turn to Vida. "No luck." he tells her.
"Oh. Oh, who are you guys?" asked Toby, looking at the three of them. "Do you know what happen to my employees and my volunteer?"
"We're right here, boss." said Xander.
"Uh, no." he tells him. "I mean the ones who are never here for more than an hour without running off and not telling me where they're going."
"Oh, sarcasm?" Xander asked. "Well, there's a simple explanation for that. Vida?"
"Uh, we like to go on…uh, Chip?" Vida asked and both of them turned to him.
"Uh, well, I-it's simple, boss." said Chip. "We're the power rangers, and we have to fight the bad guys."
Toby has a look on his face. "Yep." he then added.
"Yeah, yeah, right." he said pointing at them. "You're the power rangers. That's good. (Chuckling) Power rangers."
Vida and Xander glared at Chip. "The truth is always hardest to believe." he said.
At Rootcore, most of the rangers, Clare and Daggeron were gathered. "Oh, come on, Daggeron. You can tells us. What's this meeting about?"
"I'm in the dark as much as you are about this meeting." said Daggeron as he carries a bag of oats on his back. He then throws it into the cave. "Come on, Fireheart! Come and get your oats!" he said.
Soon as he turns around, Fireheart toasted the oats. "He likes his oats toasted." said Daggeron, then looks around to see that someone was missing. "Where's Lily?"
"Here I am." Lily said in a grave tone as she walks out of the cave behind him, causing everyone to look at her in shock. "I feel like I was barbequed."
"Uh-oh." said Daggeron as the ends of Lily's hair was singed and smoke was covering her face. Lily starts coughing a bit.
"I saw my life flashed before my eyes. It wasn't pretty." said Lily, then looks up at Daggeron. "Remind me to never again go in there when you're about to feed Fireheart. I don't wanna be white ranger flambé."
Daggeron turns to Nick. "I swear, I didn't know she was in there with Fireheart."
"It's ok." said Nick, patting down the fire tips of Lily's hair. "As long as she didn't have any burns, its ok."
"I'm glad you could all make it." Udonna said.
"Is everything all right?" Nick asked.
"Yes…and no." she said as she came down the stairs.
"I didn't mess up the cauldron, did I?" asked Lily, causing Udonna to shake her no.
"Clare, you have been a wonderful apprentice. You'll make an amazing sorceress." said Udonna, Clare smiles a little at this.
"Daggeron, I'm so happy you have come back into my life." she said to him before looking over at the others.
"Vida, Maddie, Chip and Xander, you have far exceeded any expectations I had of you when we began this journey." she said, then moves onto Nick and Lily.
"Bowen, Nick, my son." said Udonna as she walks up to him. "You have grown into the man I always hoped you would be. Keep an eye on your sister."
"Briar, Lily, my daughter." she said as she looks down at her, her thumb rubs Lily's cheek. "You have grown into the beautiful girl I always hoped you would be. Keep your brother out of trouble."
"Does this mean that I can still torture him?" asked Lily.
"No." said Udonna, then whispered in her ear. "There is a book in your backpack of some advanced magic I would like for you to try."
"Cool." said Lily as she runs to her backpack.
"What's going on?" asked Nick, as he looks at Udonna. "You're leaving?"
"I am." she tells him. "Somewhere out there is my husband, Leanbow. I'm going to find him and bring him home."
"We'll go with you." said Vida.
"Yeah." said Lily.
"No, you're needed here." Udonna said. "This is something I must do alone."
Lily looks over at Clare and comes up with an idea. In the underworld, Necrolai comes to the bottom of the pit. "Where am I? This place…it's huge!" she exclaims as she takes in her surroundings. "Could this be the chambers of the 10 terrors? I thought it only existed in nightmares."
She then bumps into one of the terrors, burning her. "We have a trespasser here!" growled the terror. "Who are you, and what are you doing in our sacred chamber?"
"Are you one of the terrors?" Necrolai shouted at the top of her lungs, then someone steps behind her. "Aah!"
"What business does this insect have with us?" asked the second terror, causing Necrolai to fly up.
"You are so tall, I can't see your face." she said. "I am Necrolai, Queen of the…" Before she could finish her sentence, a third terror appeared behind her, blowing a horn. "Leave now while we are feeling merciful!" said the second terror, holding up his staff. "You are an eyesore!"
"Now, now. Don't frighten the little bat creature." said another terror. "Let's hear her out before we stomp on her."
"Don't stop me!" Necrolai said in fear, backing away from him. "I have news from the surface world! The light has been found. It's the red mystic ranger!"
"The light? Go on." said the terror.
"Imperious is no more, and the master has been sealed away again by the magic of our enemies." explained Necrolai.
"Sealed away again?" asked a female terror. "It seems the master is quite inefficient of late."
"Oh, don't say that!" said Necrolai.
"Yes, he was not completely revived, to be fair." said another female terror.
"It's time to make our presence known." said another terror.
"Will you help us conquer the surface world?" asked Necrolai.
"Our laws say all who stand in the way of dark magic must be punished." he said. "We punish, and then we punish, and then we punish some more."
"Yes! Let's start punishing!" shouted one terror.
"It's decided!" said the first terror.
"Yes, let's go!"
"8, 9, 10…the 10 terrors." said Necrolai as she counted all of them. "I can't wait to see how the power rangers handle this!"
Back in Briarwood, Toby walks into the store. "Yeah. Thank you." said Maddie as she was on the phone.
"And thank you for shopping at Rock Porium." said Xander as he hands a customer their bag.
"Thank you." said the customer as she walks out.
"Hey Vida? Where does this go?" asked Lily, holding a Beyoncé CD.
"Pop section." said Vida, pointing her in the direction.
"Thank you!"
"Whoa! Don't forget your receipt." Xander called after the customer as Chip was stocking the records.
"Right, thanks." she said and walks out the door. Toby then looks down at his watch.
"Five straight hours of everyone still being here." said Toby. "This is…"
Then suddenly their morphers went off. "Don't worry. I got you covered." whispered Lily.
"Uh, be right back, Toby!" said Vida as she runs out.
"…too good to be true." said Toby. "I'm gonna have to do something about this."
"You do realized that talking to yourself is a sign of losing your mind." said Lily as she appears by his side.
"Well…almost." he said as he takes her into his office to get her scooter.
Out in the city, the rangers came to a stop. "Nothing unusual. That's strange." said Xander. "The reading on the morphers said the dark energy here was off the chart." The sky then turns dark just as Lily pulls up behind them and Nick pulls her into his side. "You were saying?" asked Chip. "Now, this is a wild guess, but could it be referring to that?"
People started screaming as they ran for their lives. "Nick, just a heads up…if this gives me nightmare fuel, start giving me coffee." said Lily.
"If it does, I'll just give it to you without creamer." said Nick as parts of buildings rose up from the ground.
"Good idea." she said in agreement.
"Now this…this could really be the end of the world." said Chip as Daggeron shows up. "Oh, boy."
Suddenly the 10 terrors appeared. "In all my years of magic, I have never seen anything like this." said Daggeron.
"I didn't want to hear that." said Xander.
"Neither do I, but we got it anyway." said Lily.
"Who are they?" asked Maddie.
"People of the surface, let me introduce you the destroyers of your world. Black Lance, Megahorn, Iron Sculpin, Itassis, Serpentina, Hekatoid, Oculous, Magma, Matoombo, Gekkor." said Iron Sculpin as he introduces each one. "We are the 10 terrors of the underworld. We have come to punish you. Give us what you hold most sacred. Give us the light!"
"We got to stop them." said Nick.
They then morphed, gone into Legend Warrior Mode and into the Legend Warrior Megazord. "Let's get them!" shouted Nick.
"Manticore Megazord!" they shouted.
"We're gonna give you a one way ticket back to the underworld." Nick tells them.
"Legend striker spin attack!" they shouted as they went for an attack but was blocked by a couple terrors.
"Hah, that was nothing! Take this!" bellowed Black Lance and sends an attack right back at the rangers, knocking them back and powered down.
"We will have the light." said Iron Sculpin.
"The light? What was he talking about?" asked Nick.
"You got me." said Lily. "I don't know what he's talking about." In the forest, Nick was playing fetch with Fireheart and Lily was on the dragon's back. Soon as Nick throws the stick, Fireheart was about to go after it when Nick said, "Stay. Stay. Stay."
Fireheart snorts as Lily giggles. "Get it, boy!" he said as Fireheart takes off with Lily. "Whoa!"
"Let's get it!" shouted Lily.
Nick sits down as Phineas appears upside down, next to him, both screaming. Once Phineas had landed on his feet, he then sits down next to Nick. "It's only you, Phineas." said Nick.
"Something on your mind?" Phineas asked.
"No, there's not." he replied.
"Uh, yes, there is." said Phineas, then looks around for Lily.
"She's riding Fireheart." Nick tells him and Phineas picks something off his head.
"There. Hah, flea." said Phineas. "Nasty critter, a flea. You know, I once heard two fleas, if left alone, could devour an elephant in 200 to 300 years."
"Is there anything other than a flea story you want to tell me about?" asked Nick.
"Gee, I don't know." said Phineas. "Is there anything other than "I'm not thinking about anything" that you want to tell me?"
"(Sighs) It's not about my father, okay?" said Nick.
"Got it. Not about dad." Phineas said. "Yeah, the dad that you and Lily never knew. The dad who saved the magical world bot once, but twice. You don't want to talk about him, but maybe your sister does, because you're not thinking about him."
"Phineas!" Nick said in annoyance.
"Better go." he said, seeing Nick's glare. "I think I hear the lake dwarf calling."
Soon as the Troblin stands and starts to walk away, Nick goes after him. "Wait. Wait, wait, wait. There is one thing." said Nick. "The terrors referred to looking for the light. What is the light?"
"Ah, "The light". Let me see." said Phineas as he strokes his beard. "That would be, uh, you."
"Me?" he asked.
"Yeah." said Phineas. "Your, uh…I hate to have to mention his name again…father was the greatest of all warriors, and Udonna was once a very powerful sorceress. They, uh…they, uh…had a baby…you, then later on they had your sister. You have the potential to be the most powerful wizard that ever existed. That's why the dark side fear you. You are the light that could destroy the darkness. Yeah."
"And I can really do that?" asked Nick. "But what about Lily?"
"Well, gee, I hope so." said Phineas. "Otherwise, I sewed that hole in my underpants for nothing. The darkness may or may not know about your sister. (Chuckles) Well, have a nice day, Mr. Light." Suddenly, Phineas pulls him in for a hug. "Oh, come on. Get in here." he said as he pats Nick's back. "Mmm, uh. There you go."
Just then, Fireheart comes back with Lily, dropping a whole tree in front of Nick. Nick looks up at his sister. "Don't look at me. He pulled it out of the ground." said Lily.
"Ah, playing fetch with Fireheart." said Phineas as Lily hops down from him. "I'd wear a helmet."
"A helmet sounds good." said Lily. Down in the underworld, a cracked stone started to glow and they all turned to face it.
"Look! The stone!"
"Time for the selection ceremony." said Iron Sculpin.
"What's going on?" asked Necrolai.
"Stone of judgement, show us who is to be chosen." Iron Sculpin said and a ball of yellow light comes out of the stone, circling them. Then the yellow ball of light stops on Magma.
"I am the one." he said, lifting his club.
"Go, Magma, in the name of the terrors." said Iron Sculpin.
"I will show them just how hot hot can be!" shouted Magma and he walks through the stone to the surface world.
Back in Briarwood, dark clouds gathered overhead and people started running as they looked up into the sky. Magma started to use his powers to burn a nearby tower. "You have until the flames go out on the signal tower before I seek my vengeance on this world and nothing you can do will stop me!" said Magma as he walks up with ball and club.
"Think again!" said Daggeron as he walks up behind Magma in the Solar Streak Megazord.
"Wait, wait! I'm not ready yet!" Jenji exclaims as Magma turns around.
"Let's see him deal with this!" shouted Daggeron and pulls a handle. "Remote Train Car, go!"
The train cars came out of the megazord's legs and heads towards Magma. Before they could even wrap around him, Magma melts them. "Hey!" shouted Daggeron.
"Take this!" growled Magma as he sends his attack at Daggeron and Jenji, knocking Daggeron out of his megazord.
As Daggeron was on the ground, Magma then tells him, "Just to be fair, I can fight at your size." He then shrinks down and the dark clouds disappeared from the sky. "Let's get it on!"
"Fine by me!" bellowed Daggeron and goes straight for Magma. Magma then knocks Daggeron into a car, laughing.
"Solaris laser lamp!" shouted Daggeron as he spins the dial on the lamp and takes a shot, which takes no effect on Magma. "What? My magic has no effect on him."
"What did you expect from one of the 10 terrors?" asked Magma and shoots his magic against Daggeron, knocking him back.
"Yo, lava boy! Try and take us all on!" shouted Nick as he and the others ran to help Daggeron. They all take out their magi staffs and run towards Magma. Magma then knocks Xander back.
"Magi Staff!" shouted Chip, Vida, Maddie and Lily as they aimed their Magi staffs at him and fired, only their attacks were unaffected by the terror.
"Now Nick!" shouted Daggeron as he attacks Magma as he holds the club and Nick goes to attack from behind. Magma knocks Nick back and attacks Daggeron again. Chip, Vida and Lily go to help him and all three were thrown back. His mace than was thrown towards Xander, who then caught it in his hands and was thrown into Maddie.
"Xander!" shouted Daggeron.
"Have a ball!" shouted Magma. "Your turn!"
He then kicks his mace towards Nick, knocking him back to the ground. "Nick!" Lily shouted to her brother as Daggeron goes for Magma.
"Weak rangers!" Magma shouted as Daggeron was on the ground.
"Okay, he seems to be just a little tougher than the others we've battled." said Nick.
"Yeah. I'm thinking that I should start making a will." said Lily.
"Oh, you haven't seen anything yet!" said Magma and knocks every ranger back by using the ground. "You have lost your will to fight, so I no longer have business with you. I will go and plan for the destruction. Ha Ha!"
Daggeron gets up just as Magma disappears from the city. At Rootcore, Nick was furious. "I can't believe we got blasted like that." he said.
"Maybe there was something I could have done or should have done." said Maddie.
"Give it a rest, sis." said Vida.
"Guys." said Nick.
"We got our butts handed to us. Plain and simple." said Vida.
"Hey, you don't have to be so hard on Maddie." said Chip, defending her.
"Hey! Hey, guys!" said Nick, trying to get their attention.
"Has anyone seen Clare?" asked Xander as he comes in as the others were arguing.
"No!" they shouted at him.
"I asked a simple question. You don't have to bite my head off." he tells them.
"Well, go look for her yourself!" Vida shouted at Xander. Suddenly Daggeron slams "The Xenotome" shut. "Hey!" he shouted over them and Lily walks in with the book Udonna had left in her backpack in hand. "Oh my god. I can hear you arguing from all the way outside." she said, setting the book down. She looks at the spell once more before raising her wand, freezing their mouths on the spot.
"It worked." said Lily, surprised that she froze their mouths. "It actually worked."
"You sound like a bunch of spoiled children. It's no wonder Lily has become the mature one in this team." said Daggeron, causing the teens to turn to him. "We lost. We got our butts kicked. We are up against an enemy with the likes we have never seen before. If we cannot be a unified force, we stand no chance at all."
"When are you guys going to learn that we're a team and not just crazy people?" asked Lily and they looked at her, motioning to themselves, asking her to undo the spell. "I'll undo it if you stop arguing."
They nodded and she undoes the spell. "Good, now please…don't give me a headache later." she said and goes back to her book before Daggeron continued.
"We do not blame each other. We do not take it out on each other." he tells them. "We wait for our next opportunity, and then we…"
Suddenly the crystal ball picks up dark magic and they all gasped. The tower in the city had burned down to the ground. "Your time in this kingdom is over!" bellowed Magma as he appeared in the city. "I have chosen to deliver the punishment! Volcanic Force!"
He then raised his arms into the air, creating a big ball of volcanic lava. "Quite an explosive sight." said Necrolai as she watches the scene unfold as Iron Sculpin laughs. "He is hot."
"And when the Lava ball falls, our job will be done here." said Iron Sculpin.
"The hills will soon erupt with lava!" Magma said as he was fired up.
"We'll see about that! Hah!" shouted the rangers as they knocked him off his feet and the lava ball disappears.
"Who dares!" he shouted as he gets up from the ground.
"We do!" shouted Daggeron as he and the others arrived. "It's your turn to feel the heat!"
"All right, we fight." said Magma. "But to make this interesting, what say we play a little game?"
"Game?" asked Nick.
"What kind of game?" Lily asked.
"(Roars) Here are the rules." said Magma as he starts to burn another tower. "If I defeat all of you before the flame goes out on that radio tower, I win. But even if one of you is left standing when the flame goes out, you win!"
"Hah. How do we know we can trust you?" asked Chip.
"You don't. But that's what makes this game fun." he replied.
"I highly doubt that what makes a game like this fun." said Lily.
"Shall we begin? Or maybe you don't feel like playing now?"
"I like these rules." said Iron Sculpin.
"Count me in! Code 1!" said Nick as he turns the dial on his lion staff. "Fire Storm! Hyah!"
Nick sends his attack towards Magma, he deflects it up towards the sky. "Code 1!" shouted Xander. "Rock slide! Hi-I-I-yah!"
Magma incinerated the rocks that Xander aimed at him. "No way!" Xander exclaimed.
"Way!" shouted Magma, sending his attack at all seven rangers, knocking them to the ground. "This game is a little one-sided, wouldn't you say?"
"I have to do something. I am not giving up!" said Maddie and stands up.
"Maddie?" Nick asked.
"I'm with you, Maddie." said Lily, joining her.
"Lily?" asked Vida.
"This game we're playing isn't just about us losing." said Maddie. "If we lose, everyone loses. The world loses, and I'm not gonna let that happen!"
"I'm with Maddie." said Lily. "I'm sick of his game. I want to put an end to this!"
"Code 1!" they shouted.
"Tidal Wave! Hyah!" shouted Maddie, sending a wave of water towards Magma.
"Snow Storm! Hyah!" shouted Lily, sending a wave of snow as well.
"Aah!" said Magma as both water and snow came towards him, not realizing it would burn him out. "It burns! It burns! AAAAH!"
"Good job, Madison and Lily." said Daggeron.
"No big deal." said Maddie.
"It's no problem." said Lily.
"Yes, it was. You both saved everyone." said Nick as he walks up to his sister. "I'm proud of you, sis."
"Good job, sis." Vida tells Maddie.
"Well done." said Daggeron.
"Don't think you've won!" shouted Magma as he gets back up, still smoking from the attack. "All you've done is turn me back to my giant form."
"Legend of the sky, Mystic Firebird!" shouted Nick as he turns into the Mystic Firebird.
"Legend of the jungle, Mystic Lion!" the others shouted as they turned into the Lion.
"Manticore Megazord!" they shouted.
"Now I can finish you all!" shouted Magma.
"Spin attack! Full Power!"
"Check it out." said Maddie as their attack was deflected.
"You should know by now your attacks don't work on me." Magma said.
"Come on!" said Nick.
"This is getting ridiculous." said Lily.
"This is wonderful." said Necrolai as she and Iron Sculpin watched the fight from the ground. "Now Magma will surely destroy the rangers."
"I don't think so. The game is over." he tells her.
"What?"
"Take a look." Iron Sculpin said as he points to the radio tower. They turn to see that the flame had gone out. "What? My heat! Its fading!" exclaimed Magma.
The other terrors watched Magma through the stone of judgement. "The rules of darkness." said Itassis. "He made up the game, and now he's lost."
An arrow was shot through the stone tablet and right at Magma. "Hey, what's going on?" asked Nick.
"I made the rules of the game and I lost!" said Magma.
"Man, I can't believe it! They destroyed one of their own!" said Nick.
"Wow…this is new." said Lily.
"The rules of darkness have no mercy." said Magma. "But you have 9 other terrors to defeat. This is just the beginning!"
A gold ring appears above Magma, as it goes down, it turns him to stone and shatters him into pieces. "The rules of darkness must be followed." explained Iron Sculpin. "It's the only way we can assure the masters return."
"The master is returning?" asked Necrolai.
"Ugh." said Iron Sculpin as he walks away from her.
"Aah, interesting." she said. "The master will return!"
"Well, I wasn't just gonna stand there and watch him destroy the city without putting up a fight." said Maddie.
"Thanks to Lily, I never seen such a big wall of water and snow." said Xander. "I think I'd like to try and surf that."
"You wouldn't get far surfing in snow." said Lily.
"I'm okay with snowboarding." he tells her.
"You were great, Maddie." said Chip. "I hope you feel like you've made a contribution to the team."
"Contribution? Hmm." said Maddie. "Actually, I felt like I was the whole team, without Lily."
"Ha!" said Lily as the others turned around to face them. Both of them stated to run past them. "Ah, come here! Come here, you!" Xander called out to them.
When they arrived at Rock Porium, Xander said, "Hey Toby. Hi. Thanks."
"So nice of you to show up." said Toby. "Are you sure you wouldn't rather be out doing whatever it is you do when you're out doing what you do?"
"Sorry, boss." said Xander.
"Well, apology not accepted." said Toby as he walks away from behind the counter. "That's why I've decided to hire a new employee."
Coming out of the office was someone the rangers did not expect to see. Leelee carrying a tray of CDs. "Leelee!" they exclaimed.
"Yep, and she promised to not go running off all the time like some other people whose names I…Nick, Lily, Vida, Xander, Chip, Madison…am not gonna mention."
"I think I'm gonna be sick." muttered Lily.
"Toby, you can't hire her. Her mom is…" Nick started to tell him when Leelee and the others started telling him to stop. He then clears his throat. "Welcome aboard, Leelee."
"Thanks." she said. "Love to stay and chat, but I have work to do."
"Hmm." said Maddie as Lily starts to rock side to side.
"You keep my secret, I keep yours." Leelee said as she walks up to them and winks. They were giving her dirty looks when they suddenly heard a thump on the floor. The others turned to see that Lily had fainted on the floor.
"Lily!" exclaimed Nick.
In the woods, Udonna was walking with a walking stick in hand when she heard wings flapping overhead. She looks up and only hears crows caw out around her. "Hello?" Udonna calls out. "Is someone there?" When she didn't get an answer, she continued walking onward.
