Isiah: What's up? Isiah and Tom here.

Tom: What's up?

Isiah: And welcome back to Avalor's Continued Nightmare. Last chapter, Mateo and his friends found the lava shelter in Maru. What will Darkness think about their arrival?

Tom: Let's get into the chapter to find out.

Inside the Lava Shelter

Victor and Carla Delgado were searching for the location of the computer room. As they were walking, Carla had something in her head and decided to speak on it.

"You know, Papa, the more I see Princess Elena's friends, the more I start to like them more," she said.

"If I were you Carla, I wouldn't be so sure about starting a tender friendship with the enemy," Victor said.

"So they're gonna be a problem, right," Carla asked.

"Of course. But there's nothing we can do about it right now," Victor answered.

"Hmm sure we can't."

Victor looked at his daughter and said, "Just think about it for a second. If we were to leave Mateo for Darkness's hands, and Princess Elena's transformation succeeds, we'd be the first ones they come for before they even think of destroying Avalor."

"I suppose you're right, Papa," Carla agreed with her father. "Nightmare comes back to life, beheads you and Fiero, drowns me in hell's fires...or turns me into one of their demon slaves. I don't know which one is worse."

"I believe it doesn't matter, because we're going to stop them before it happens," Victor said continuing to look at the map.

Reaching the Computer Room

After a few minutes of lurking around, Victor and Carla finally found the computer room and Victor quickly went to work. Sitting down and taking a look at the cameras throughout the lava shelter. He then caught up with Mateo and the others on his communicator.

"Guys, we're in the computer room."

"Good shit Victor," Fiero complemented. "Can you see us through the cameras?"

Victor took a moment to look at the cameras to find Fiero and Mateo. Mateo noticed that he wasn't answering and asked, "Having some trouble up there Vic?"

Victor took a breather and said, "Nope, just seeing how this works."

"Mhm," Mateo slowly said before Victor finally found the camera that had him and Fiero in it.

Carla saw them in the camera as well and said, "You guys won't believe this. I see a young and old wizard just standing there like idiota statues."

"Hey! That's us," Mateo said raising his voice.

"Good. Now get a move on," Carla ordered sternly.

"And keep your voice down," Fiero reminded Mateo as they continued walking. Victor just went back to looking at the cameras while Carla kept a lookout for anyone onto them. When she was certain that no one was coming for them, she went back to look at the cameras with her father.

After a few long moments of looking through cameras with very few demons in site, Carla found someone that looked awfully familiar near one of the lava pits. "Hey, I see someone. Near the north lava pit," she told Victor.

"Who'd you see," Victor asked going to the north lava pit camera and zooming in on it. He then saw someone in the camera that completely shocked him and Carla. "What the shit! Mateo, you won't believe this!"

"What? What'd you see," Mateo asked quickly.

"The motherlover that's casting a spell on the lava," Victor said. "It's Shuriki! That fucking bitch is working with Darkness!"

Fiero was in complete denial at what Victor was saying and spoke up. "That's impossible, Delgado. That is bullshit!"

"I know what I'm seeing and I swear I'm seeing a backstabbing Shuriki and she's three deep in this shit," Victor said.

"You're lying, Victor! What the hell is wrong with you," Victor asked.

Victor grunted in frustration and said, "Okay, you guys are near the lava pit. Go towards it and look to your left."

"Hmm, okay then," Mateo started heading for the pit with Fiero. They then took cover behind the wall, slightly looking at the northside where they saw Shuriki.

Fiero was the first to react to what he saw. "Damn, Shuriks. How could you side yourself with Darkness?"

"Dear Alacazar, she's selling her soul to him," Mateo said in horror.

"What do you mean," Fiero asked.

"She and the Delgados were involved in helping me and Elena defeat Nightmare," Mateo explained. "Now that she's helping Darkness revive her, good chance she's gonna wanna kill her."

"Hmph. Guess we better talk Shuriki outta this before Darkness arrives," Fiero said leaving the wall.

"Yeah, right behind you," Mateo said following Fiero.

Confronting Shuriki

Shuriki was using her magic on the lava as she was being watched by a demonized Esteban.

"How is it coming along Shuriki," Esteban asked.

"The lava should now be ready for Princess Elena's transformation," Shuriki said.

"Perfect. Darkness will be here in under ten minutes. He will be pleased that the lava is well prepared," Esteban said.

"I have no doubt that he'll love it," Shuriki said before hearing footsteps behind her. She quickly turned around to see Mateo and Fiero approach her.

"Like the work you've done on the lava Shuriks," Mateo complimented. "If only you've done it without the intension of selling your soul to spirit demons."

Esteban was going to say something but Shuriki motioned for him to let her handle it. "Oh, you mean the spirit demon you've done nothing about since Nightmare's death? This is what happens when you only just kill one person and call it a day."

"I didn't know that a spirit demon of mine was going to show up," Mateo said.

"Well you should've. Then we wouldn't have any of this madness," Shuriki said.

"So now what? If Princess Elena turns into Nightmare, you can kiss your plans to take back Avalor goodbye Shuriki," Fiero stepped in.

Shuriki let out a smirk as she spoke. "That's where you're wrong Fiero. Darkness said he can spare Avalor for my rule. All I have to do is keep you and that idiotic wizard boy from stopping the resurrection of Nightmare."

"HE'S LYING TO YOU," Mateo and Fiero shouted together.

"If that's the case, then I'll be a dead woman...just like Princess Elena."

Both wizards took out their tamboritas and aimed them at Shuriki. "I'm gonna give you one last chance Shuriki. Snap outta this crap or we will beat it outta you," Mateo threatened her.

Shuriki didn't seem fazed by the threat she was facing and took out her Scepter of Night. "Very well. If you wish to fight me, then prepare yourselves for the fight and death of your pathetic lives."

A brutal magical fight soon broke out.

To be continued...

Tom: DAAAYUUUM! A CRAZY TWIST RIGHT THERE!

Isiah: Right! Shuriki's betraying her allies to work with Darkness!

Tom: She's reviving someone who tried to kill her. WHERE THEY DO THAT AT?!

Isiah: *chuckles* I don't know. But anyway, we hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. We might get back to Third Round's a charm as our next update. If you haven't seen that, go check it out and show some support for it.
