Spells and Louds
Chapter 387: Princesses, meet Defenders.
(Somewhere in the suburbs of Sunny Bay.)
At the house where Iris lives with her aunt Ellen, the door is knocked and of course Aunt Ellen answers it. "Coming, coming." She opens the door and sees the group known as the Royal Defenders and they are in their normal clothing. "Oh, can I help you folks?"
"We're here to see Iris, Talia and Aurianna" replied Lincoln. "We're the Royal Defenders."
"Oh, you all must be friends, fans or musical associates?" asked Aunt Ellen.
Gyro lowers his hood and looks to the woman and smiles. "Hello Royal Guard of Ephedia, Ellira."
Ellen is shocked and also in distress to see him. "G-Guardian? How can it be? It has been so long. You have returned, this is …. Sir, Ephedia is in great peril and …. The king and queen."
"All will be discussed once we get to the secret sanctum of the princesses" said Gyro. "Take us to them, now. For there is so much we need to talk about, starting with the realm of where they came from."
"Of course, follow me please." They all follow Ellen/Ellira into the house and head for the room of the three girls. They had to admit, the house they are staying in was kinda nice and a good view of the seaside too and the Royal Fortress from the distance.
"So, why the hell are you here Ellira?" asked Gyro. "I thought someone like you of your higher ranks would remain on Ephedia and aid in whatever turmoil it has fallen upon."
Ellen/Ellira chuckles. "All will be discussed once we get to the secret sanctum Guardian." Gyro also chuckles at that. The others never knew that the woman who is there is also Ephedian.
They knock onto the door of the three girls and Iris opens it. "Aunt Ellen, good to see you and you brought our friends. Please come in, especially you Aunt Ellen."
Ellen/Ellira smiles hearing this. "I was wondering when you would say that."
As soon as they enter they see the two other girls, Aurianna and Talia and with them of course is they're faithful companion Amaru. "Aww! He is so adorable!" said Leni. Even Jordan and the other girls thought so too.
"Well, he is a Quilcat" said Ellen/Ellira. "They reside in the lands of Volta."
Aurianna and Talia are shocked to hear this. "Umm, how the heck did you know that?" asked Aurianna.
Gyro looks to them and smirks. "I am surprised the two of you haven't figured it out."
Iris then tells them that her Aunt Ellen is actually the Royal Guard Ellira who was tasked to keep her safe and raise her on earth until the day would come to know of her heritage and so the day did came, last season. Talia and Aurianna couldn't believe it, an Ephedian Royal Guard was with them the whole time.
Talia then looks to Gyro. "And who the heck are you supposed to be anyway?"
Gyro smiles. "We will discuss more when we enter your sanctum."
"We can trust him girls." Ellen looks to Iris. "You're mother, the queen. She knows who he is, for they have been friends the last time he was in Ephedia."
Iris didn't know any of that, and so they let them through their closet door which led them into the magical gem sanctum, and they were impressed by this place. Tons of books and crystals that would help them communicate with anyone who is back on Ephedia.
Wrathion takes a book and opens it. "Interesting form for a hideout and someplace no one would wish to go to."
"This reminds me so much of Ephedia already" said Gyro as he walks around. Then he sees the girls standing by the crystals with Amaru and looking towards them.
"To be honest, I love what you girls are wearing" replied Leni. "They totes match you're sense of style."
Iris: She wears a pink bow on the right side of her head. A pink strapless double-layered dress with a purple now tied around her waist and a pair of purplish ankle boots with pink straps.
Talia: She wears a white and blue striped top with a blue jacket rolled up to her elbows. Tan shorts with a blue sash belt and brown shoes with gold buckles.
Aurianna: She wears an orange shirt that drapes off one shoulder with what could be a white camisole underneath. A white skirt with a dark purple belt and blue shoes. A long headed necklace, a baby blue heart shaped earring and periwinkle and green bracelets.
"We also liked what you guys did last night, that song you three did was totally at the top of the music empire dudes" said Luna. Sam also agrees.
"Thanks, but enough about what we do here on earth" said Talia. "We wanna know who the heck are you and how do you know the Oracle Gems."
"Very well then, my name is Gyro, I am the Guardian of the Realms and an ardent ally to Ephedia. I have not been there for the past 47 years in your world and I have known the great king and queen who rules the world you three reside and I wish to know what has befallen onto the great kingdom and all its territories."
They felt like he can be trusted, he then tells them of the Royal Defenders and what they have been through, okay now they can trust him. Then Talia asks. "If you are such an all-powerful being, then how come you didn't come back to aid Ephedia?"
"Talia, please calm down" said Aurianna, she tries her best to calm down her friend.
"No, no. She has every right to ask me" said Gyro. "For a long, long time. I thought I could be able to remain on Ephedia and be its defender and powerful mage, but the queen knew I had a bigger role to play and that was to travel through the cosmos and build an order that could act as a powerful alliance against the forces of darkness. Also, I found out that my sense of magic was blocked by someone, or something in this world and whoever it is knows what I am capable of and made sure I was cut off from this world. Unfortunately for them, they only cut off my connection to sense the magic, not the ability to come here."
This shocks the three girls, they have never known about this being and yet here he is. The Guardian Gyro and he has come to aid them, but he has no clue as to what has happened.
Iris steps forward. "It is a true honor to meet you Guardian, I am Iris the Princess of Ephedia and these are my friends, Talia, Princess of Xeris and Aurianna, Princess of Volta."
This shocks Gyro. "Princess of …. You are the daughter of the queen?" He then takes a knee. "Your majesty, it is an honor to meet you. I never knew the queen had a child, or was with child."
Iris then goes to him. "Please don't bow, I'm not really accustomed to that." the others did not know about this, and are shocked that this blonde girl who is the lead singer to the band is the princess of Ephedia.
Gyro stands in front of her. "Princess, tell me. What has happened to your home? What has become of Ephedia?"
"Gramorr" replied Aurianna. "Gramorr is what happened."
Gyro is confused. "Gramorr? What the hell is a Gramorr?"
"He came out of nowhere and he gained the trust of the king and queen, and then he betrayed them. He calls himself the Grand Wizard of Chaos and wields powerful black crystal magic" replied Talia.
"A Black Crystal Summoner, so it seems there is a coupe within the midst of Ephedia, and this may have happened after my departure from the realm" replied Gyro.
"It's true" replied Ellira. "After you were told to leave Ephedia to accomplish your true goal, Gramorr came out of nowhere and that was month after Princess Iris was born. He wanted the power of the Crown of Ephedia and the Oracle Gems to enslave the whole of the worlds and not just Ephedia."
"So we have a magical conqueror, a power hungry magician who seeks nothing more than to take over everything" said Neil. "Sounds familiar to us."
"He's already defeated Volta and Xeris and has taken control of the castle of Ephedia, but he cannot leave" replied Ellira. "The queen imprisoned the crown within a powerful crystal that Gramorr cannot be able to destroy, and as of such it created an all-powerful barrier to keep things from going in and keep Gramorr from getting out."
"Smart, risky but smart" said Gyro. "And where is the queen and king now?"
Iris looks away and they can tell something is wrong. Gwen asks. "Dead or imprisoned?"
"Imprisoned." they see the image of Talia's older sister, Izira appears on the screen and soon their two other friends Lyna and Carissa are there now. "Greetings Guardian. I am Izira, the Princess of Xeris and older sister to Talia and leader of the resistance."
Hollow coughs. "Star Wars."
"The king and queen have been imprisoned beneath the castle, and Gramorr is not working alone. He has a large and mysterious Black Panther known as Banes and two servants on earth who have been trying to claim the Oracle Gems, his twin Lieutenants, Mephisto and Praxina."
"But those two always fail when they try to go up against us" replied Aurianna. Amaru also squeals with joy and jumps and then gets caught by Linka.
"You are so adorable." Linka boops his nose which makes him chuckle.
"So, Gramorr, is stuck, the crown as well, the oracle gems are back in place, we have the last one and the two servants of Gramorr are still one earth and seek the gems for him" said Lincoln. "I guess we have everything we need."
Gyro looks to Ellira. "And I only assume, that the queen sent you to earth to protect the princess and raise her until the time was right to tell her of her true home and origin?"
Ellira nods. "It is my rightful and sworn duty to accomplish this task and be the guardian for Iris. It pained me to leave the queen and king to fend off Gramorr, but I did what I was told and that was to keep Princess Iris safe."
Iris hugs her Aunt Ellen/Ellira. "And you did an awesome job at it, and I am truly greatful for all that you have done for me. Thank you."
They all smiled seeing this, then Lincoln looks to Izira. "Izira, what's the status on Gramorr right now?"
Izira was confused as to why a child was asking her this, but she looks to Gyro who nods. She can trust them. "Gramorr can sense the magic the Guardian has made, but is unaware of who it could be, he may have also sent out Mephisto and Praxina to find the source of magic and they think it's an Oracle Gem, perhaps the last one."
"Which is why we have it right here." Wrathion shows them the Oracle Gem, but the girls saw it last night. He then hands the gem to Iris who accepts it. "We can be able to use this to bring back the crown and defeat Gramorr before the deed is done. Now, lets us commence the return plan to Ephedia."
They were all ready for this, the Royal Defenders, the Guardian and the Lolirocks girls. Iris realizes, she's going home now and she probably won't come back to earth. "Wait." they all look towards her. "I need to talk to someone, all of you get prepared. I'll be right back."
They watch as Iris runs off. Gyro looks to Leni, Dana, Becky, Lori and Carol. "Follow her and ensure she is safe from any danger, something tells me this is a boy thing."
The girls nod and follow Iris. The others look to Gyro. "How do you know it's a boy thing?" asked Sergei. "You're not even a dad!"
"Her emotions were clouding her judgment and she seemed deeply distressed with the fact we're going back to her homeworld" replied Gyro. "Also, during the concert is aw her hugging some brown haired muscular 16 year old."
"How old is she again?" asked Boomer.
"Well, she is 15 here on earth" replied Ellira.
"But on Ephedia she's 45" replied Aurianna. "I'm the same age as her and so is Carissa. Though Talia and Lyna are 16, but in Ephedia age they're 48."
This was something they had no clue what to say, or even comprehend. Leon pinches the bridge of his nose. "Age differences of worlds is so confusing."
"Makes sense to me, I mean Ephedia does reside somewhere near Jupiter so aging there is either slow or in a different kind of speed limit" replied Sergei.
(Where Iris is.)
Leni, Lori, Carol, Dana and Becky watch from the distance as Iris talks to Nathaniel, her boyfriend.
They all felt bad for her. Lori sighs. "It's literally not easy for a heroine to be who she has to be and at the same time balance her relationships, I know firsthand how that is."
"Yeah, I mean Dana and I, we have Martin and Leon and they're pretty much in the same heroes league as us" said Becky. "Same goes for Leni and Loni."
"True" replied Leni. "Loni might not have powers, but he can fight and he is also trying his hardest to be a good fighter in his own way. He did pilot the Odin mech when we had that big save the worlds battle."
"Guys, what the heck is that?" Dana points to the sky which was turning dark, and then they see two figures, 17 at age and they both look the same but different gender.
Leni gasps. "That must be Mephisto and Praxina!"
Lori then makes the call. "Everyone, we got trouble!" But then Nathaniel is frozen in place by Mephisto's magic and he is now trapped inside of a crystal and Iris tries to battle them.
"She needs our help!" said Dana. They power up and join the fight. But Becky and Leni head off to save the civilians in the park from this battle.
"We know you have the Oracle Gem, so hand it over Princess!" said Praxina.
Mephisto chuckles. "You're friends aren't here, so what are you gonna do now?"
"She has friends!" They see Lori come out of the ground and riding a lava spawn and Dana surfaces from the frozen fountain. "She has us!"
"What the heck? Who are these guys?" asked Mephisto. "They sure don't look like princesses."
"Forget them! We're here for the Oracle gem!" Praxina and Mephisto then sue their magic to conjure up some crystal monsters to fight them. The large beasts surround the two teen heroines and keep them away from Iris.
Lori cracks her neck. "Okay, now I'm mad!" Her eyes glow orange and she slams her fist to the ground and Dana summons some ice axes. Then Becky and Leni join them in this fight, they had to battle through this crystal monster army in order to reach Iris.
But they notice it was too late, Iris surrender the stone to them in order to save Nathaniel and with that done, Mephisto undo's his magic and Nathaniel falls to the ground unconscious. The two servants of Gramorr then disappear into shadows and so do the crystal monsters.
"Iris!" The girls go over to her who is making sure Nathaniel was fine.
"Girls!" They see the rest of the team arrive. "What happened? Where's the Oracle gem?!" asked Gyro.
They all look to Iris who was happy Nathaniel was fine and she looks to Gyro. "I-I'm sorry Guardian. They have it."
Gyro is shocked and he looks to the boy, and he wasn't angry. "You did what you had to, to save the one you love. We understand, sometimes we have to do something risky to save the ones we all hold closest to our hearts."
Iris wipes away some tears and her friends go over to comfort her. "They might be bringing the Oracle Gem to Gramorr, we have to return to Ephedia and stop him. Before doom is set onto this world and all other worlds" said Wrathion.
"We have to go now!" they all look to Iris who was no longer in despair. "I made a mistake, but we can undo it by destroying Gramorr and freeing the people of Ephedia from his dark rule."
They were all ready to side with her and do what they can to assist. "So Guardian, whats the plan?" asked Lincoln. They were looking to him now, but Gyro chuckles.
"No, not me this time." He looks to the Princesses. "This is your homeworld in danger and we are only here to give you our aid. So what's the plan?"
Iris looks to her friends who were all in on this and they know she did what she had to, to save the one she loves. "Alright, so we have to get to Ephedia and stop Gramorr before he uses the power of the Oracle Gem to consume Ephedia. He might have an army ready, so the Royal Defenders have to meet up with the Resistance and storm the castle, with the diversion made that's when I and the others alongside the Guardian come down and stop Gramorr once and for all."
"He might be headed for the Temple of Andrak if he wishes to conjure up some powerful magic's, that temple was once a powerful sanctum for the sorceress of the lands, Morgaine. Let's get going then" said Gyro. He then looks to Martin. "Another thing, there is no massive body of water so we cannot bring the Royal Fortress with us, it has to remain here and make sure nothing evil has come to attack the planet."
"I'll inform GLADIS about this." Martin uses his communicator. He also makes the command for GLADIS to mind wipe the people who have seen the fight in the park, it's necessary since the girls don't want their secret to go out to the public.
"We're gonna need all the help we can get" said Becky.
"Already done, we were able to make contact with the Immortal Council and they will be inbound to the coordinates of Ephedia to bring down reinforcements to the fight" said Hollow. He then looks to Iris. "Princess, though this fight seems to only consist of you and the girls and as well as the Guardian against Gramorr. Allow me to also be part of it, I wish to act as the final stand should all of this fail."
Iris nods. "Very well then." She looks to Gyro. "Guardian, take us home."
Gyro's eyes glow and everyone stands around him, the Royal Defenders have their powers and weapons locked and loaded for the fight. The Lolirocks girls Iris, Talia, Aurianna, Carissa and Lyna enter their Magical Princess modes which shocks the others.
Iris: Princess of Ephedia. Rose pink hair. Her magic gem symbol is a pink heart located in her necklace. She wears a white and pink strapless dress and pink boots.

"Wow. Looks like you are Power Princesses Shining bright" said Duchess.
Then Amaru turns into a Pegasus-Unicorn. This makes the teens look to him with stars in they're eyes. "You are so majestic!" said Jordan.
"I'm having some mixed feelings about all of this" said Leon.
"Same" replied Sergei.
Gyro then readies the Mass Teleport spell. "Everyone, get ready! The Last Battle for Ephedia, is about to begin!"
To be continued …..
