Isiah: What up?! Isiah and Tom here.

Tom: What's happening good people!

Isiah: Right, and welcome back to Avalor's Continued Nightmare. Last chapter, Darkness's airship was taken down but it resulted in having to find him in Nightmare's spirit world.

Tom: But at the same time, Mateo went missing as Elena and her friends arrived. Now not only do they have to find Darkness, but find Mateo as well.

Isiah: Things are looking tough for Elena here. Now let's see how this is gonna go down.

Ambushing a Convoy

Mateo found himself slowly getting up from the impact of entering Nightmare's version of the spirit world. He quickly had a look of confidence on his face as he immediately started heading towards the path that led him to where he needed to go.

As he was walking, Mateo heard something moving towards him and he crouched down to see what it was. There were two of Darkness's demons but not just regular ones. He noticed that they were demonized Francisco and Luisa convoying something.

Not caring what the convoy was, Mateo rushed out of his hiding spot and got right in front of Francisco and Luisa. The couple just looked at the royal wizard as if he was ready to test them. They then started to head out to him but he quickly casted a spell that shocked the two demons and they were soon on the ground, shaking from the spell they were affected by.

Mateo noticed that the electric spell he casted started to wear off the demon forms of Francisco and Luisa and smiled knowing that he knew how to get Elena's family back to normal. Screams filled his ears as they were turned back to their original forms and soon fading away.

"Mr. and Mrs Flores," Mateo said attempting to get the elders' attention.

Francisco was the first to respond to Mateo's voice and let out a relaxing sigh saying, "Yes Mateo?"

"Y- You guys alright," Mateo asked.

"J- Just about," Francisco said looking at his surroundings from the ground.

"We're just fine," Luisa said as Mateo helped her get up. "That look-alike of you doesn't have control of us anymore."

"Indeed he doesn't. Now where is that damned spirit demon," Francisco asked with a look of confidence.

"I was just going to ask you guys that," Mateo said. "In fact, what's this convoy here?"

Francisco looked at what was inside the back of the coach and said, "Dead bodies. Darkness was probably going to demonize them or something."

Mateo let out a smirk as he spoke. "Hmph. We should give them to him."

"Maybe we should," Francisco said giving Mateo some room in the coach for him to sit in without being seen. Once he got in, Luisa continued on the path they were on before being stopped by Mateo.

Road-Block

Francisco and Luisa were walking next to the coach with Mateo inside it. As they were walking, Luisa noticed a few of Darkness's henchmen blocking the path ahead and told her husband and Mateo to relax and play it regular.

"You guys do your thing. I'm gonna hide here ready to attack if anything goes wrong," Mateo said before knowing that he was in front of the road-block.

Francisco went up to the demons blocking the road and asked, "What is the purpose of this road-block?"

"Darkness has ordered us to block you guys from continuing the path by yourselves," one of the henchmen said. "Especially when you might or might not have Princess Elena's wizard friend in your coach.

Francisco chuckled slightly as he spoke. "You must be mistaken. We just have bodies for Darkness to demonize. We don't have Princess Elena's wizard friend in here."

"Are you certain of that...abuelo," one of the demons said revealing itself to be Elena. The others demons with her turned themselves by to Elena's friends and enemies. Francisco smiled and hugged his granddaughter while Luisa informed Mateo it was safe to come out.

"Well I'll be damned," Mateo smiled hugging Elena. "How'd you know I be heading for Darkness already?"

"Well seeing the bullshit Darkness put us through, we figured you'd be the first one to go for him," Elena answered.

Mateo smiled before hearing Luisa speak up. "Darkness's palace shouldn't be far up this pathway here," she announced.

"If we stick together, we may be able to withstand any other forces he has for us," Fiero said.

"Alright then what are we waiting for," Mateo started walking the path with everyone else following him.

Palace Invasion

Esteban and Isabel were in the dark palace having a discussion in the main hallway.

"Is this how Darkness proves he is more than capable of destroying kingdoms," Esteban asked in complete frustration. "He tosses his plans to turned Princess Elena into Nightmare out the window to retreat back into this spirit world. Then he wishes to be alone so he can relax his soul knowing damn well we're being followed by the enemy?!"

"Esteban. What Mateo threw at us back at the lava shelter was more than enough to put us down for good," Isabel said. "Darkness needs time to think about what he's into right now. We can't just go out and destroy Avalor right away. Not without the help of Nightmare."

"Hmph. Well if that's the case, then maybe I don't wanna destroy Avalor with his help," Esteban threw at Isabel. "In fact, I don't wanna destroy Avalor at all."

"Maybe you'd like to tell your words to Darkness himself," Isabel smirked.

"What-" Esteban turned around to see Darkness grab him by the throat. "FOOL! YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST SIMPLY DEMAND ME AND THEN HAVE THE NERVE TO LEAVE MY SERVICE?!"

"It...was...just a...misunderstanding Darkness," Esteban managed to say through the grasp he was in.

"Misunderstanding?! I have no place in my rule for misunderstandings Esteban! Your time has come to an end." Just when Darkness was going to execute Esteban, the palace front door entrance broke open revealing Mateo and his friends and foes.

"Nice place you got here Darkness," Mateo said with his tamborita in hand.

Darkness placed Esteban back on his feet and turned to Mateo. "Why can't you and your friends just DIE ALREADY?! I don't know how you managed to make it this far but this time, your deaths are certain," he said.

"There's nowhere else for you to go Darkness," Mateo said. "You cannot hope to escape this time." And with that, Mateo charged at his spirit demon with Elena and the others charging at him as well in one final battle.

To be continued...

Isiah: Oh yeah! It's goin' down in this final battle!

Tom: Will Mateo be able to kill Darkness once and for all or will his efforts be crushed by his spirit demon's hands?

Isiah: We'll just have to wait until the next chapter.

Tom: Might as well. Everyone, don't forget to leave a nice review. No hateful or rude comments please. We love you guys. We hope you've enjoyed this chapter. Thanks for supporting us everyday. We'll see y'all later. Halla at your boys! Yeah!

Isiah: As always, until next time.
