Spells and Louds
Chapter 144: EAH pt.2 Chilling Demise
(Ever After Dimension)
The Royal Defenders are now at their destination, the Great Gate is frozen to a standstill and they're only way to get back home is to end this winter devastation.
They're current location is near the Dragon Stables near the school.
Leon and Sergei are inside the Tiger checking on it's engine.
Leon and Sergei soon come out wearing winter clothing.
"Any luck?" asked Dana.
Leon sighs sadly. "This cold temperature is below any condition she can handle."
"Her engine is seized and the gear box is instantly frozen. She won't be able to run if this weather keeps up" replied Sergei.
"Looks like you guys are going to have to fight on foot then" said Neil.
Leon starts to growl and his eyes change into yellow.
Sergei summons his crimson electric hammer.
"How come Sergei is barely effected by this cold?" asked Lori.
"I've been wandering the frozen slopes of Siberia. I know how to adapt to this cold" replied Sergei.
Lincoln pans his binoculars around the area, he puts them down and gathers the others. "Okay everyone, here's the plan. Frist we-"
He is interrupted by the sound of someone screaming, the all look up to see a very small dwarfish man in a Russian hat fly off.
"Was that Rumplestiltskin?" asked Linka.
"Should we … save him?" asked Becky.
They all look at each other and then back to Lincoln.
"Okay everyone, here's the plan. First we have to secure the school and make sure there isn't much damaged done to the place. We also have to make sure the students are warm. So Dad, Lori, Becky and Peter you guys are on that one."
"Hope they like the fire of Deathwing" said Neil.
"We'll make them warm" replied Peter.
"Got it Linc" said Lori.
"There could be wounded so maybe I can patch them up" said Becky.
"Next is the situation with this blizzard. We don't know what other forms of icy destruction is gonna be hailed down on this place, so Luna, Dana, Sam, Leon and Sergei you guys have to make sure that the outside of the school is heavily defended."
"You got it bro" said Luna.
"You can count on us" said Dana.
"Nothing is gonna get past us" said Sam.
"Yeah! Tag Team!" Leon and Sergei fist bumped each other.
"Gyro said that a small group of princess's are headed to the last flower. I'm sure it will be up in the mountains, so Linka, Jordan and I can make it there faster to give them some help. We don't have much time left, if we don't stop this winter disaster. Then all of the dimensions will be destroyed."
"The Vulture has its own powerful heating system" said Jordan.
"As long as she stays warm we can make it to the Winter Mountain faster" replied Linka.
"We have communicators, but because of this weather they only work for short range. So we can't contact you guys once you reach the mountains" said Neil.
"That maybe a problem. But it's a chance we'll have to take" replied Linka.
Lincoln looks to all of them. "Be careful guys, stay safe and do your job. Heroes!"
"Defenders Forever!" they all cheered with their right fists in the air.
They all go their separate ways and into the plan.
Lincoln and Linka hop onto the sidecars of the vulture while Jordan is driving and they take off.
Luna and Dana do their best to control the blizzard to steer clear of the school.
Sam Leon and Sergei check the outside areas of the school for anyone who is caught in the blizzard.
Leon and Sergei spot the town of Book End. "Sam! We're gonna go and check on the village. You okay searching near the school and holding out with the others?" said Sergei.
"We'll be fine! Now go to the village!" replied Sam.
"Let's go brother" said Leon. They both make their way to Book End and start searching.
The main front doors of Ever After High are swung open and all of the students were shocked to see who it was.
They are then approached by Headmaster Milton Grimm. "What is the meaning of this? Who are you people?"
"Wow! And I thought we all looked Spelltacularly weird" said Maddie.
Peter and Neil push the doors close and Lori and Becky move a large piece of fallen debris to block it.
"Miss Bloodgood sends her regards" replied Neil.
"What?" said Giles. He pushes past his brother. "You all know Miss Bloodgood?"
"The one from Monster High?" asked Milton.
"There's a school for monsters?" Dexter whispered to Melody.
"We made our encounter with their school and she told us about Ever After High. She told little information to the Guardian of the realms, he didn't really have much time to figure out more about this world and it turns out an interdimensional gate has been established here by mistake and this cold destruction will only make things worse" said Neil.
"How so?" asked Giles.
"All the great gates are linked. If this blizzard continues it will scatter across the realms and unleash a cataclysmic winter assault to everyone and we're here to stop it" said Peter.
"Our Brother is headed to the winter castle to help the princess's retrieve the last flower" said Lori.
"Are there any wounded?" asked Becky.
"Not at the moment. We're all trying to stay warm" replied Giles.
Neil then lights his hands on fire. "Allow us to assist."
(Meanwhile at the winter mountain)
Crystal Winters, Ashlynn Ella, Blondie Locks, Briar Beauty, Rosabella Beauty, Daring Charming (currently a beast) and Faybelle Thorn are making their way up to the winter palace, but the journey on ski is not making them go any faster.
"How far are we anyway?" asked Blondie.
Crystal looks ahead and sees they were still distant. "We need to get there faster, but how?"
Then they all hear a motorized sound and coming out from the side of the mountain was Lincoln, Linka and Jordan on the Vulture Bike.
"You guys need a lift?" asked Lincoln.
They were a bit confused. "Umm, who are you kids?" asked Daring.
They just looked at Daring confused and remembered what the guardian said. "Wow you really did turn into a beast" said Jordan.
"Cursed by the Snow king" replied Rosabella.
"Commander Lincoln Spellman"
"Commander Linka Spellman"
"Major Jordan Rosato"
"We're here to help you guys on your trip to the retrieve the crystal rose" said Linka.
"You're school is being defended by the rest of our team. They're also making sure they stay warm. You can trust us to aid you guys, the sake of the dimensions is at hand if we do not stop this blizzard" said Lincoln.
Crystal already believes in his words. "Alright, thank you. But we have to get to the palace quickly."
"Wait Crystal. Can we trust them?" asked Briar.
"Judging by their vehicle and that their suited for this kind of thing. I think we can" replied Crystal.
Secretly Faybelle whispered to herself. "Curses! Now how am I gonna get my hands on the rose when this is all over?!"
"Alright Lincoln. But how are we going to keep with you guys?" asked Rosabella.
Jordan pushes a button and deploys a small sled-like trailer. "Hop on!"
Daring hops on first with the princess's riding on top and behind him.
"You guys ready?" asked Jordan.
"Is it too late to use the bathroom?" asked Daring.
"Let's go!" said Lincoln.
And they advance forward with great speed and onto the Winter Palace.
But unknown to them, they were being watch by the ice troll twins. They remove the staff from the sleeping winter kind and use it for their own power, but instead they made things worse!
(Ever After High)
All of the students are gathered to different parts of the school being kept warm by fires made by Neil, Peter, Lori, Becky and Raven Queen with her Dragon Nevermore.
"You know I've never even heard of a dragon within a human" said Raven.
"Well, it's a complicated story between me and Deathwing. He's trying to find redemption for what he did" replied Neil.
"Really?" he turns around to see the Evil Queen (Raven's mom) inside her mirror prison.
"So, an evil dragon of chaos is now a hero. What is it he is seeking redemption for?" asked Evil Queen.
Neil sighs. "For betraying his kind and almost destroying Azeroth. He is one of the most powerful dragon aspects, he was just consumed by hatred and jealousy. But now he knows that all living things don't deserve to be destroyed" he then looks to the Evil Queen. "And if he seeks a second chance to trust, why can't you?"
Evil Queen is shocked by his words. Even her daughter Raven. "Sorry Neil, but many of the students here would rather not have my mom released and I agree with them."
"I understand. But just know this, that everyone who is deemed with evil but is misguided by their own bitter judgment. They always deserve a second chance to life" replied Neil.
Unknown to them, Giles Grimm was hearing this. "A second chance. Hmm."
"By the way, when you said about this evil blizzard what did you mean?" asked Raven.
Apple White, Darling Charming, Madeline Hatter, Kitty Cheshire, Duchess Swan, Sparrow Hood, Dexter Charming, Hunter Huntsman and Giles Grimm enter the room to listen to what Neil has to say.
"This blizzard is caused by the winter king in which we all know. The Guardian believes that the king and queen were entranced by a form of evil magic dust. Which was made up of the shards of a broken mirror" said Neil.
Evil Queen and Apple White gasps.
"N-No! Are you sure?" asked Apple.
Neil looks to her in suspicion. "What do you know about this Ms. White?"
But before she could answer. "It was my fault" said Evil Queen.
They all gasp at how she responded.
"I pushed Apple White into breaking my mirror prison, the shards you speak of must've came from the broken mirror. This is truly my fault once again" replied Evil Queen.
"No it wasn't" said Apple.
Neil turns to her. "Explain."
"M-My mom pushed me into trying to make Raven embrace her evil destiny, then the Evil queen pushed me, but all of it was me under pressure by both my mom and the Evil Queen. I broke the mirror prison with the apple I was given!" said Apple White.
They were all shocked.
"You mean Queen Snow White pushed you into this?" asked Giles.
Apple holds her sides and sheds a few tears. "Y-Yes!"
Raven does her best to comfort her roommate.
Darling also helps her as well.
This may seem awkward for Apple to be comforted by the girl who broke the evil sleeping cure, but for some reason it felt right.
Then Neil approaches them. "Apple, look at me."
She was afraid at the man with the dragon powers. She looks up only to see a man with a face of concern,
"This was not your fault. You were being put in between the line of friendship and you're destiny, But I have learned throughout my time in helping save the cosmos is that we all have our own chapters to write. We just have to make sure we're doing the right thing" replied Neil.
"And even though we may not be doing the right thing. Know this, there will always be those who will have your back, no matter what wrongs you have committed."
Apple smiled at his words. He truly was a demonic dragon seeking redemption.
"Mr. Spellman, what are you going to do after all of this is done?" asked Giles.
"He has a point. The Queen was the one who made all of this come true" said Kitty.
"Both queens, Apple was dragged into pressure" said Hunter.
Neil sighs. "I will have to inform the Guardian about this revelation, he won't like it and probably go berserk hearing this. But the rest of the realms will be the ones to be cautious with."
Neil then looks to Apple White. "Apple, you are a victim of child abuse and neglect. Even though these are times of great kingdoms and empires, I am from a world where new laws have been forged and this is a law I cannot turn away. I am the man who enforces the Child Protection Service and I make sure that future generations don't have to endure torment" said Neil.
Apple knows that this could be trouble for her mother Snow White, but Neil made a validated point. He seemed far more authoritarian than her mom is and he's not even a king.
"I understand Neil" said Apple.
"But what about my mom?" asked Raven.
Neil looks to the Evil Queen who was now feeling guilt for all the trouble she's caused. "That is a decision the immortal council will have to make."
Then Neil senses something and looks around the area. "Something's wrong."
Outside Luna and Dana have made a success and the blizzard was now gone.
"Cool, it worked!" said Luna.
"We should head back inside and see what's going on" said Dana.
But then they both turn around and spot giant snowflakes headed towards the school.
Luna and Dana launch every attacks they have to destroy all of the super snowflakes, Sam sees this and also assists.
At Book end Leon and Sergei didn't find anyone in the village and almost get hit by a giant snowflake.
"Whoa what?!" yelled Leon. They look up to see many giant snowflakes ready to come down.
"Run?" asked Sergei.
"Yeah" replied Leon.
They both start running and head for Ever After High, while at the same time dodging all of the incoming giant snowflakes.
Luna, Dana and Sam are trying their best to destroy every incoming house sized winter projectile, but some of them get past them and slam onto the school.
Inside all of the students see the giant snowflakes sticking out of the walls.
Neil sees all of them are scared. Lori, Becky and Peter are head to other rooms to get the students out of there before any more damage can come through.
"Everyone head for the school auditorium now!" yelled Neil.
Then Neil stops and senses something big was coming. He looks to the large window where Duchess is standing. "Look out!" he pushes her out of the way just as a three story house hits.
Duchess coughs as the dust clears. She is being helped up by Melody. "Are you okay Duchess?"
"I am, but what about the other guy?" asked Duchess.
They look around with Apple, Raven, Giles, Maddie, Kitty and Darling.
They then spot Neil who is slowly getting up.
He is face first onto the ground. "Well that was painful."
But as he tries to use his arms to get up he suddenly feels tremendous pain from his back and falls back down.
He hears some gasps and looks around to see some of the student with shocked looks. "What?"
Neil then turns around and is horrified.
He is pinned to the ground, with a giant snowflake piercing his back but not fully, his spine has been severed, he can't feel his legs, small ice is starting to form around his wound which is pouring blood and lava?
Neil is now in a lot of pain and starts to scream in agony, but this was not his monstrous scream. It was the other guy.
Peter, Lori and Becky head back to see what the large impact was and are shocked to see Neil.
"Neil!" they all head towards him.
Lori sees the giant snowflake and tries to melt it, but then Peter sees the snowflake slowly inching into Neil.
"Lori Stop! It's only getting worst!" said Peter.
Lori stops and starts to cover her mouth with fear.
Becky tries to heal him, but it isn't working. "What the heck?! Why isn't it working?"
"Because Deathwing is a dragon aspect of death. He can't be healed by anything" replied Peter.
They then see Neil's eyes go dark and he collapses.
"Neil? Neil? Neil wake up!" said Peter.
Then his eyes open up with fire and he starts to roar. They now know this was not Neil anymore.
"Deathwing calm down!" yelled Lori.
"T-This … P-Pain! It is b-beyond …. A-Anything, I have e-endured!" said DeathWing.
"Deathwing you have to calm down or Neil dies!" said Becky.
Deathwing looks to everyone and subsides his anger, but he still feels pain. "Why is this …. Hurting …. Me?"
They then notice some black ice starting to form around the wound. "The evil ice magic, but how?" said Peter.
"You're supposed to be immune!" said Lori.
"Deathwing can make Neil indestructible and for some reason this snowflake of evil magic pierced right through him" said Becky.
Raven tries to use her form of magic since her powers are matched beyond her mom's. But it doesn't work. "I don't understand?"
Evil Queen then understands. "Because it was merged with the ice magic. My ancient evil magic fused with the ancient ice magic is what is causing this!"
Deathwing looks to her. "T-This … Was not ... You're fault."
"What the hell man?! This is her fault!" yelled Peter.
"Guys! Now is not the time to panic! We have to contact the others!" yelled Becky.
Peter uses the communicator. "To anyone on this line, Neil Spellman is down! I repeat, Neil is down! We need immediate assistance now!"
Leon and Sergei start running faster and they meet up with Luna, Sam and Dana.
They all head inside and see that Neil was pinned down.
Luna is horrified to see the blood coming out of his wound on his back.
Leon collapses to his knees and is shocked to see his older brother in pain. Dana tries to comfort him.
Deathwing then coughs up blood and lava. "T-This …. Is not …. H-How we will die!"
Luna slowly approaches them. "D-Dad?!"
All of the students were shocked at what she just called him.
Deathwing's eyes turn into Neil's. "L-Luna! I-It's gonna …. B-Be okay."
Luna starts to shed some tears and look at the others. "Why aren't you guys doing anything?!"
Sergei is about to use his hammer. "Sergei stop!" yelled Peter.
They turn to him. "If you we even attack the snowflake it will only go deeper! His spine is already severed and Deathwing can't heal himself with the evil ice magic!"
Luna was now enraged and summons her demon crown Lucius. She then touched the snowflake.
All of the memories are coming back to her, including the incident when Neil almost died during the battle for Royal Woods. "I am not losing you again!"
She then uses her demonic powers to incinerate the giant snowflake, it slowly starts to dissipate from existence.
And soon the Snowflake was gone.
They then try and help Neil up but his wound starts to pour more blood and lava.
"Guys stop! We can't let him sit up right!" said Becky.
They put him back into his original position. "I-I c-can't …. F-Feel my l-legs."
Luna and Dana apply an ice casing onto his wounded back, but they notice inside they see some molten lava inside him. It was trying to mend him but the evil ice that is still lingering is blocking it.
"We have to get him to the Guardian!" yelled Leon.
"The Great Gate is still down!" said Peter.
"What do we do?" said Sam.
Luna looks to the mountain in the distance. "Lincoln."
Duchess Swan was shocked. He pushed her out of the way and he paid the price. 'What have I done?!'
Sparrow Hood tries to comfort her as the Swan Princess cries.
(Winter Mountain)
Daring and Rosabella have dealt with Northwind by tricking him into turning into a mouse.
Crystal has defeated Jackie Frost and they now can claim the winter rose to awaken her parents and stop this Epic Winter.
But the flowers get taken away by Faybelle Thorn and they all take chase.
Crystal and the EAH students take the Polar Bear sled.
Lincoln, Linka and Jordan are on the vulture chasing the dark fairy.
"What the heck is she doing?!" yelled Linka as she tries to get a clear shot of the dark fairy.
"Does this have something to do with her constantly checking her phone earlier?" asked Blondie.
"Wait what?" said Jordan.
They soon make it past the Village of Book End and evade some still falling giant Snowflakes.
"What the heck is this?!" said Lincoln.
"Looks like the frost twins did more damage than we thought" said Ashlynn.
They then make it into Ever After High. The Princesses are the ones to chase after her first.
Lincoln and the others were confused outside. "Where are Luna and the others?"
Jordan sets the Vulture to Arct Mech auto pilot and grabs her energy pistol.
The Arct mech then sends missiles towards every incoming snowflake coming.
They then make their way inside and pass by a room, but then they stop and go back and are shocked to see.
"D-Dad!" yelled Lincoln and Linka.
"Oh no!" said Jordan.
They run towards him with tears in their eyes.
"What happened?!" Lincoln yelled to the others. He soon gets hugged by Luna and they both cry.
"D-Dad?!" cried Linka.
Neil looks to them and tries to smile. "E-Everything ….. is g-gonna be … a-alright." He then loses consciousness.
Peter and the others explain to them what has transpired. The Blizzards, the Giant Snowflake, the Evil Ice and Deathwing's pain.
Apple White even tells them about what Neil said about the whole thing being a conspiracy.
Lincoln, Linka, Luna, Leon and Sergei look towards Apple White and Evil Queen in anger.
"You started this!" said Leon.
"Our brother is dying!" yelled Sergei.
Linka still in tears points her crossbow towards Apple.
Luna starts to manifest demonic energy and is about to speak an evil language.
"STOP!" yelled Lincoln.
They look to him with confusion.
"Dad wouldn't want this. This isn't our decision to make, let the immortal council decide this." said Lincoln.
They all understood and calmed down.
Lincoln goes to his unconscious father. "H-How do we save him?"
"The only way is to get the Great Gate unfrozen, but because of this still Epic Winter we can't break through" said Becky.
"The Guardian could save him" said Lori.
Lincoln then picks up his blaster and leaves the room. "I'll be right back!"
Luna and Linka follow him.
In the hallway, they were able to convince Faybelle to surrender the flowers and Daring has turned back to normal.
But then Faybelle gets frozen in place as a teen sized ice block.
They all turn around to see Lincoln, Linka and Luna powers and weapons ready and very angry.
"Guys, there's no need for that. Faybelle just made a bad deal with some fairies" said Ashlynn.
"She was giving the flowers back to us" said Daring.
Luna grabs the flowers from the frozen Faybelle and sees the small mafia looking fairies.
Linka then shoots all three fairies with sleeping darts.
Luna contains all of the fairies with legion chains.
They then grab Crystal, Jordan whistles for the Arct Mech which arrives and transforms into the Vulture Bike and they put Crystal in the side car.
But they look to the room where Neil is.
Crystal gasps and sees the blood in the area, so do the others.
"W-What happened?" asked Rosabella.
"H-He saved m-me … and got …h-hurt" cried Duchess.
Lincoln wipes away a tear and is still angry. "We're gonna save you dad!"
They hop onto the Vulture bike and take off at great speed.
Lincoln driving, Linka and Luna on the other sidecar and Crystal shedding some tears, this is what all of the winter chaos has caused. Someone got hurt.
She knows that these three kids are trying to save their dad, just like how she wants to save her parents.
(Winter Mountain)
They arrive and use the four season flowers to awaken the Snow King and Queen and free them from the evil curse, also on their way they manage to put Jackie and Northwind to sleep.
"Crystal you saved us" said Snow king.
"You truly have the true heart to be a leader" said Snow Queen.
But then they are confronted by three kids and their weapons and powers pointed at them.
"What is the meaning of this?" asked Snow King.
"Dad! We have to save their father! He's dying because of this winter!" cried Crystal.
The Snow king hands Crystal the staff which makes her confused. "We believe you are ready daughter."
She then runs to the balcony and uses the staff to remove the snow and ice and bringing back the daylight.
Soon the Great Gate starts to slowly melt.
Crystal is then confronted by Lincoln, Linka and Luna. "All this time you could've just stopped it!" yelled Luna.
But she gets stopped by Lincoln. "Luna, right now our dad needs help."
They hop back onto the Vulture with the Winter Family following behind them on one of their back-up sleds.
(Ever After High)
They soon arrive to see Lori, Peter and Becky unleashing fire upon the Great Gate.
They all head inside to see Leon and Sergei trying to keep Neil alive and well.
"I-I don't understand! How is the ice still in him?" asked Crystal.
"He has magic that the evil wants to consume, if it accomplishes this than Neil dies with Deathwing!" yelled Sergei.
Leon looks to them with anger. "When everyone on the other side of the gate gets here, you're all in one hell of a trouble!"
Dana does her best to calm him down. "Leon please. Neil needs you."
Then the Great Gate's ice is now destroyed and it glows again and soon The Aegis Battlecruiser comes into orbit with a fleet of the Empire, Terran, Zerg and Protoss.
Multiple portals open unleashing a full force army of FutureTech and pretty much a lot of armies.
"Guys! You did it!" said Martin.
"Thank goodness too" said Victor.
"We got reports from all of the other dimensions about ice forming in their world and this close to having an ice age" said Tadashi.
Gwen, Leni, Sunset, Timmy and they're Pokemon run towards Luna, Lincoln and Linka and hug them.
But when they break the hug they see the tears in they're eyes.
"Guys what's wrong?" asked Leni.
Gwen then looks around and realizes something was missing. She then looks to her three kids. "Where's your father?"
Then they spot Leon and Sergei helping Neil by his arms. "Guardian!" yelled Leon.
Gyro sees this. "Oh my god!" he rushes to them.
Gwen could see a trail of Blood and Lava coming from Neil. "No! No! No!"
An imperial transport comes down with Hollow and Musa and they are shocked at what was happening. "Neil?"
A Burst drone records this and it is now being shown through the rest of the fleet and they're leaders on board head for their transports to get down there.
A Limo like Horse carriage arrives and Snow White come out. "Apple?! Apple?! Are you okay?"
She sees her daughter leave the school looking sad and she hugs her. "I thought something bad happened to you, I got separated when the Snow King sent a massive blizzard, I also had to issue an evacuation but it wasn't possible. At least mane of you took refuge within the school."
Queen Snow White then sees all of the citizens looking at her with disappointment. "What is going on?"
Then she gets cuffed by Peter. "You are under arrest for starting all of this!"
"What?!" said Snow White. Her dwarves try to help only to get frozen by Luna and Dana.
Lori then comes out of the school with the Evil Queen still inside.
"What is going on?!" asked Gyro.
Lincoln looks to Gyro. "It's best to tell you later Guardian. Can you save our dad?"
Gyro looks at the wound and he can sense Neil and Deathwing's life force slowly fading.
"This …. Isn't possible for me" replied Gyro.
They all look to him in shock.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T?" yelled Leni.
"You're the freaking Guardian! You're supposed to be powerful!" yelled Sunset.
"Deathwing is an Aspect dragon! I am the Guardian of the realms, my magic will not work on Dragon Aspects. I'm sorry" replied Gyro.
Gwen collapse to the ground and cries onto Neil's unconscious form.
The rest of the family also cries as Neil was slowly dying.
"What about the Dragonflights? Can't they save Deathwing and Neil?" asked Peter.
"They can't save each other when one of them is dying. Dragon Aspects are reborn years later, many years to be exact. But Neil won't make it" replied Gyro.
There was no hope for Neil. They were going to lose their Dad, husband, brother, ally, hero, defender, friend.
Then they hear some insect footsteps coming, it was Zagara Broodmother of the Swarm. "Perhaps there is a way."
They all look to her.
Linka wipes away her tears. "What?!"
"Really?" asked Timmy.
"How?!" yelled Lincoln.
"The evil that is killing him is ancient, very ancient. We must bring him to the Zerg homeworld" replied Zagara. "But there might be a consequence to it afterwards."
"We just want our dad back! Please!" said Luna.
Zagara looks to Gyro and Hollow.
Gyro and Hollow know what she's talking about.
"Zerus."
To be continued ….
This just got a turn to the worse! Or is it? Leave a review.
