Chapter 24: Demons of Wonderland part 2
Wonderland
Rafi, Anastasia, Hercules, David, Hook, and the Rabbit all ventured inside the royal castle in Wonderland. Cersei's demon armies waged war on Wonderland and blocked out the sun. She had also enchanted Will Scarlet to be her own personal slave. Now, this team of heroes was going to stop her. They ran through the halls on their way to the top floor. That floor included Ana's bedroom and it was the last place she saw Will. She also had some magic potions in her cabinets in her room that might help them. On their way, they ran into many small dragon-like demons. Rafi and Hercules used their powerful magic and strength to defeat them. Eventually, after climbing many flights of stairs, the group reached the bedroom and broke the doors down. They found Cersei inside standing next to Will Scarlet. David and Hook held their swords out. They were instantly taken back by her beauty, but needed to stay focused and not let her enchant them.
"You shouldn't have left the Underworld." Cersei said. "Your father is quite angry with you."
"I don't care about Hades." Rafi said. "Why are his demons here?"
"He has grand plans." Cersei said. "He's dying as you know and he wants to do something great before he dies. He decided on conquering all the realms and he figured he'd start in Wonderland as a test. He hoped that by the time he died, his son would take over as God of the Underworld and could rule over a vast empire of more than just the dead. It's sweet when you think about it."
"It's terrible." Ana said.
"Well you can't really do anything about it." Cersei said.
"We're still going to try." David said.
David and Hook then charged at the goddess with their swords in hand. Cersei merely waved her hand and the two of them were suddenly lifted off the ground and thrown backwards all the way to the doorway and landed on the floor on top of each other. Anastasia then threw a fireball at Cersei, who caught it in her hand. The fire then disappeared.
"Is that the best you can do?" Cersei said.
Rafi's hands started to glow bright white. Then he unleashed a powerful beam of white magic energy at Cersei. She was not expecting such a feat from Rafi and was caught off guard. The beam hit Cersei directly and sent her flying across the room. She hit her head hard on the wall and was rendered unconscious. Ana then rushed over to Will. She cast a spell over him that would free him from Cersei's hold, but nothing worked.
"Her power is too strong." Ana said. "I can't break the spell."
"I can." Rafi said.
Rafi, using the power of the gods, cast the same spell over Will. This time, it worked. He came back to his senses and smiled when he saw Anastasia in front of him.
"I knew you'd figure out a way to save me and Wonderland." Will said.
"Not quite." Ana said. "There are still demons everywhere."
"I think I know how to fix that." Rafi said. "Hades gave the demons to Cersei. She controls them. Without her, they'll have nothing holding them here."
Rafi then walked over to Cersei's unconscious body. He waved his arm, causing her to be consumed by magic smoke. When the smoke cleared, Cersei had been transformed into a sleeping black cat.
"A cat?" Hercules said. "I thought you were going to kill her."
"I think Will and Ana need a royal pet as part of their family. Now they have a cat." Rafi said.
Suddenly, something happened to all the demons in Wonderland. They became consumed by magic smoke and disappeared. Then, the sky changed from dark black to bright blue. There was no more dark magic blocking out the sun. They had finally saved Wonderland.
"Thank you so much for all your help." Ana said to her team. "Will and I are going to stay here. We have a kingdom to rebuild."
"Where will you all go?" Will asked.
"We're going back to the Underworld to kill Hades." Rafi said.
"Wait a minute." Hook said. "Even with all your power, you can't just walk into the Underworld and kill Hades. He's more powerful than all of us combined. You're more powerful than Cersei perhaps, but not more powerful than a full fledged god."
"We'll need help." David said. "Let's stop in Agrabah first. Emma went there to overthrow Iago. She must have succeeded by now. We'll need her powers as the Savior to help us. I think if we have her on our side, we can really pull it off."
"I will take us there." Rafi said. "Let the rabbit stay here with his family."
"Thank you." The White Rabbit said.
Rafi then used magic to consume himself, Hercules, David, and Hook in magic smoke and transport them out of Wonderland.
The Underworld
From his own magic mirror in his throne room, Hades watched as his empire in Wonderland fell apart. He was infuriated that Cersei had failed him. However he was perhaps more angry at the thought of two of his sons (Rafi and Iago) finally meeting. They were both powerful and would destroy each other if they fought. Rafi was Hades' last hope to pass the throne of the Underworld to one of his heirs. He had four sons and three of them personally hated him. The other son was Cyrus, who was under heavy influence from his brothers and mother to avoid Hades altogether. Curious about his third son, Hades decided to use the mirror to spy on Cyrus. Hades then saw that Cyrus and Taj were together. They were in a prison cell in London. Cyrus' wife Alice was hugging her sister Victoria. Cyrus and Taj stood back and watched happily. Then, Hades got an idea. He saw that Cyrus was holding his infant daughter Sophia. If none of his sons would assume his position, perhaps his granddaughter would. He then saw as the group in London became consumed in magic smoke and disappeared on their way to Storybrooke.
"Pain. Panic." Hades said.
"Yes sir." They both said in unison.
"I'm sending you on a mission." Hades said. "Do not fail me."
"What must we do?" Pain asked.
"You're going to go to Storybrooke and take my granddaughter." Hades said. "Then you're going to bring her to me in the Underworld. Taj and Cyrus do not know they have the power of the gods. It will be easy to fight them."
Pain and Panic then started to prepare for their mission to invade Storybrooke and kidnap Sophia, Alice and Cyrus' daughter.
