Spells and Louds
Chapter 92: The Sith and the Fairy
(Spellman Estate)
Courage and Gwen come back with some drinks and cookies and place them on the coffee table.
Everyone there is looking at Hollow and his so called date Musa, the dairy of Music.
All of them just have bewildered looks. Until Gyro speaks "So, how long have you two been dating?"
Musa puts her glass of soda down. "Probably, about 2 weeks."
"Yeah it was two weeks" said Hollow.
They all look at the two of them confused. "What?" asked Hollow.
"Dude! You've been gone for two weeks, the last time we saw you was when we were at beach city!" said Luna.
"Well that's not possible, I've been gone for almost a year" replied Hollow.
Gyro then realizes what was happening. "It might have something to do with the chronological rime lapse between Magix and the other realms."
"So what you're saying is, where ever Hollow was, it was only almost a year. But to us, it's only been two weeks?" said Leon.
"Exactly" said Gyro. "Well, that explains why all of you don't look different" said Hollow.
"So, where were you Hollow? And why are you being …. Nice?" asked Linka. Courage sits on Linka's lap and looks at him in question.
Hollow looks to Gyro.
"Two weeks ago I sent Hollow to the world of Magix, well to earth actually. Magix is a realm of well, magic and they have had a lot of troubling evil magic that seems unstable. I thought maybe a man as chaotic and disturbed as Hollow could fit the bill" said Gyro.
"At first I thought it was a stupid idea, but then I decided to go with it. I was looking for a new path towards destiny" replied Hollow.
"And that's when he met me and my friends, the Winx club fairies. We were on earth to look for the last earth fairy and bring magic back to the people, at least give them a reason to believe in magic again" said Musa.
"It was the only way for them to energize their new Believix fairy powers and stop the wizards of the black circle. We found Roxy, who is the last earth fairy" said Hollow.
"Turns out she wasn't the only earth fairy, there were others who were in hiding, including her mom the queen of the earth fairies" said Musa.
"And it was not easy trying to reason with them to give humanity a chance, they were mean and angry" said Hollow.
"But thankfully all went well and now earth fairies are maintaining protection over earth and her people, heck they're even starting a school for earth fairies there" said Musa.
"Wow! But still how did you meet these fairies called Winx?" asked Martin.
"Smoothie bar" replied Hollow. "I was supposed to be there undercover, but it turns out the first person to feel my negative energies and that someone was this girl" he looks to Musa.
"I went over to confront him and ask who he was and what kind of magic he wields, but he doesn't respond which was rude" said Musa.
"Hey, I was a bad man back then" replied Hollow. Musa boops his nose. "Well, not anymore."
The two of them laugh at their own amusement. Making everyone confused, Hollow is laughing but not the bad guy laugh!
"Umm, can you please continue" said Lincoln.
"Oh right. Well I went to tell them outside after everyone had left and they weren't quite fond of me and thought I was a member of the wizards of the black circle just because I was wearing black" said Hollow.
"But then the wizards came and tried to go after Roxy again and then Hollow helped us fight them. So then we realized he wasn't a bad guy and we kinda believed him" said Musa.
"The next phase was to try and get people to believe in magic again, in the form of doing heroic deeds, which almost made them look like jokes" said Hollow. "But thanks to some assistance form their boyfriends and myself we were able to bring hope to people and empower the true meaning of magical beliefs."
"Hold on a minute! Musa, you have a boyfriend?" asked Leni.
"Had a boyfriend, but that story is for later" said Musa.
"So, after you dealt with the wizards of the black circle, what about the whole Tritanus incident?" asked Gyro.
"That one was not easy either. Water is not quite my element and I was only placed as a backup on high ground" said Hollow. "The Winx had to do all of the fighting underwater by themselves, but the hardest part was getting all of the magical kingdoms to unite and form defenses in their water based locations."
"Our friends Bloom, Stella and Aisha are princesses and their kingdoms were not easy to negotiate and make an alliance" said Musa.
"Wow! The Alliance in Azeroth fairs better" said Gyro.
"But, the pact was sealed and all kingdoms were allied with each other and they were able to hold of Tritanus and his army of sea freaks, well mutants" said Hollow.
"Tritanus is actually the cousin of Aisha, he's the son of King Triton and the youngest male in the family. He was jealous and wanted the throne, so he became a very disturbing monster powered by pollution" said Musa.
"And he was ugly! He looked like a naga and a zerg combined!" said Hollow.
"I don't wanna visualize that image" said Neil.
"Anyway, we beat him and he was exiled, somewhere" said Hollow.
"Now we're facing a new threat, and that is the return of the Trix! Along with an old friend of Bloom's Sirena, she wields this book called the legendarium and we already lost so many good friends to it" said Musa.
"The Trix have full control of Cloud Tower college and have turned it into a flying, invisible and almost unstoppable platform" said Hollow. "And finding out its exact location is not easy."
"We're still trying to find them and put an end to their reign of destruction" said Musa.
"I've already established imperial outposts near important areas of great magic and capital kingdoms. If they want the magic they have to get through my forces first!" said Hollow.
"Well, that was, very informative Cabal. But we still have one thing to ask. How did you two become a thing?" said Neil.
Hollow and Musa looked at each other lovingly. "Well, to be honest, when I first met him. I wasn't so sure about him and thought he was a jerk" said Musa.
"A jerk with the scariest track record!" said Hollow in victory.
"That part you're not wrong" said Gyro.
"Well, if I remember correctly, after we saved the last earth fairy we were just doing whatever we can to stop the wizards and some of us didn't want Hollow on our team, but he was a very powerful ally and we needed him" said Musa.
"Then I saw him at a music shop looking at instruments" said Musa.
"I was looking for something to ease whatever temper I had in my head, I looked up in the internet and it said that music could sooth the mind" said Hollow.
"So I went in and helped him find what was good for him and he found it" said Musa.
"In the form of two instruments, an electric guitar and an accordion" said Hollow.
"I'm sorry, an Accordion?" asked Sergei.
"What? I like the sound" said Hollow.
"So, I helped him practice with his guitar and it turns out he was really good at it. He really shredded on the axe and expressed every emotion he was feeling and there was a lot of emotion in every rip cord" said Musa.
"I mostly did solos of star wars theme songs" said Hollow. "It felt good and sounded great!"
"Of course, that's the one theme you'd always play" said Gyro.
"So, what happened next?" asked Sunset.
"Well, I guess we kinda bonded. I was the harmony and he was the chaos" said Musa. "My boyfriend Riven wasn't so sure about Hollow, but they also bonded when they fought enemies together."
"Riven was like me, a man with issues he still has to go through and has some problems involving his ambitions and dreams" said Hollow.
"We all became really close friends, it took a long while for him to gain the trust from the others" said Musa.
"And that was not easy. Stella is such a shopaholic!" said Hollow. "I swear I am not using my powers just to help her carry her truckloads of shopping bags!"
"That's Stella for ya, always interested in the latest trends" said Musa.
"I don't know if I wanna meet her" said Leni nervously.
"So anyway, when we went back to Alfea college, we discovered that Hollow was there as well to see the magical sights of our world" said Musa.
"I wasn't intrigued at first, but I was glad to know that my closest of magical allies was nearby" said Hollow.
"And that's when tensions were starting to build up between me and Riven" said Musa. "All he wanted to do was train, train and train some more! He barely had a chance to listen to me or even talk to me!"
Hollow held Musa's hand to calm her down. Musa smiled as she looked at Hollow.
"At least Hollow was there to keep me company when I needed it" said Musa.
"It was the least I could do to the woman who taught me how to play the guitar and find my inner peace and balance" said Hollow.
"Then there was the time when me and Hollow found an abandoned musical café in the school and with his help along with the girls, we were able to restore it and use music to defend the school from the Trix" said Musa.
"Whoa! Music as a weapon for good! Now you're talking my language girl!" said Luna.
"I knew you would like it" said Musa. "Then a little monster from the Legendarium known as Rumplestiltskin came and stole my voice and put it in a bottle" said Musa.
"Without Musa's voice, the café and the magic of music could not be able to maintain a sturdy defense. But thankfully there were other student there who were willing to offer their musical talent to help" said Hollow. "And me as well. I sorta became a one man band with my Guitar and Accordion."
"I'd like to see that one" said Leon.
"We fought some witches who were using an intangibility spell and sent them flying back to Cloud Tower" said Hollow.
"And then I got my voice back after the girls made a new deal with Rumplestiltskin" said Musa. Then she looked down with some sadness.
The others knew that's when it went south for her.
"I'm gonna guess. That's when Riven wanted to talk to you about something" said Neil.
"Yeah, he felt so guilty for not helping me or not even able to stop the conflict that was happening. He then said that we weren't meant to be and that we should …. Move on" said Musa.
"I came over to see what was going on and that's when Riven told me to look after Musa. He said he knew I had my eye on her and that we were both compatible, even if we were complete opposites. But he was Musa's opposite as well, but not good at keeping her safe" said Hollow.
Musa started to shed a small tear. "And that's when he left, to fix what's going on with him. I never saw Riven again."
The others felt like crying after hearing that.
"The following day, I decided to try and cheer Musa up. And it turned out we were going on a date that we didn't even know. Seriously, how did a normal hang out between two friends become a date?!" said Hollow.
Lincoln and Jordan smiled at this. "Maybe it's because you two were to focused on knowing each other that you didn't know that you were actually sharing how you feel" said Jordan.
"So, how did your magical date go?" asked Lincoln.
"Well, he brought me to a restaurant and we had dinner, we talked laughed and then he brought me to a karaoke joint and we sang some songs. We then went for a nice stroll along the beach and then ….. We …. Kissed" said Musa as she touches her lips.
She then looks to Hollow who was also staring at her. "We then became a thing after that" said Hollow.
"Aww!" the others said.
"After I told the others about us, Stella fainted. You should've seen her face and heard her scream" said Musa.
"I told the specialist and they said they kinda knew. I wish I knew that too, I'm the emperor of the galactic empire, hoe did I not know about what I was feeling?" said Hollow.
"Wow! That was one heck of a story" said Gyro.
"The Guardian sends you to a magical mission, but instead you end up falling in love. That has got to be the most unbelievable thing I have ever heard and all we know about you is your dark and very cruel nature!" said Victor.
Hollow laughs and looks to Victor in annoyance. "You looking for an excuse to lose an arm?!"
Musa puts her arms around Hollows shoulders. "Hollow, let's not get to frisky." She then kisses his check making him smile.
"My new weakness, my emotional love for you" said Hollow. Then the two of them kiss each other.
Everyone just awes at the sight in front of them.
"Well, that was very much unexpected" said Gyro. The two then break the kiss and smile. "I cannot get enough of you and your face" said Hollow.
"I know how to put you down without harming you" replied Musa.
They then look to the others. "Now for the real reason I'm here, I wanna talk to you Spellman" said Hollow.
The Spellman family looked at him confused and all said "Me?"
Hollow realizes what he just said. "Maybe I should be specific, the leader of the pack."
Nile and Lincoln look at each other. "Me?" they both say.
"The older one" said Hollow. "Oh, well why didn't you say so?" said Neil.
The two of them head to the back yard to talk alone.
Meanwhile Musa was left with the others. "So, you wanna go and check out the instruments in my room?" asked Luna.
"Sure, Hollow did tell me about you being a big music lover" said Musa.
The two of them head upstairs to check out the musical gear Luna has. Sunset also heads upstairs since she shares the room with Luna and also has a guitar.
"Well, I should be heading back now" said Martin. "Same here, got a lot of Tesla tanks to check on for any mishaps or malfunctions" said Victor.
"By the way, where was Penny and Pyrrha in all of this?" asked Leni.
"The two girls are back in the world of Remnant, they said they wanted to help out Goodwitch in cleaning out some of the Grimm near beacon" replied Gyro. "I should probably go and see how their doing."
Gyro then turns into a raven and flies off to the great gate.
Meanwhile in the backyard. "So, what do you want Cabal?" asked Neil.
Hollow sighs. "I know that you and I don't see eye to eye. But I want to make amends for this weird small hate we have against each other."
Neil is shocked by this. "Wow! Where did this come from?"
"Ever since the incident in beach city when I almost killed everyone out of my won anger, this is what I mean, I don't wanna become the enemy that you and your family see, I wanna be your friend" said Hollow. "And I know it's not gonna be easy, I mean I have to gain the trust from-"
"Sure" replied Neil.
"I'm sorry what now?" said Hollow.
"I said alright, let's be friends. That fairy of music was able to change you for the better and I appreciate that. Like Lincoln would say, give some people a second chance" said Neil.
Hollow smiles and shakes his hand. "Thanks man, maybe if neither of us along with your brothers, don't have anything else to do, we can all hang out."
"That sounds like a plan, we can join in on Sunset's game stream tomorrow" said Neil. "Cool" replied Hollow.
Courage secretly overhears this and smiles. "Maybe I can ask him if my parents are alive, but not right now. I'll be patient." He then heads back inside.
To be continued …..
Well that explains where Hollow was and what he was doing. Hollow has found love and has made amends with Neil, even though they haven't even fought before. Still it feels good to make friends with someone who is evil. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
