Audrey, Mal, Lonnie and Evie appeared in a forest. They found themselves in between two guards and two young girls, one in a blue dress trying to stand up from being tripped up by a root and the other in a purple and pink dress looking to protect her. Something about her nagged at the Asian princesses' mind.
"What the…" Audrey started and looked to the purple haired girl. She hadn't made the connection yet despite her own mother Aurora also having met the princess of Enchancia as well. "Mal, what did you do this time?" She asked.
"I didn't do anything Audrey." She replied with a roll of her eyes. "I don't know what happened any more than you do." She nor her chosen sister knew who the two girls were of course.
"Where do you think we are Evie?" The Asian girl asked the blue haired girl.
She shook her head. "I don't know Lonnie." She answered.
Then Lonnie looked to the girl still standing and it all clicked. "Wait a minute." Lonnie realized she remembered hearing about the second girl from her mother That's Sofia, princess of Enchancia She remembered hearing some stories from her mother and several of her friend's mothers about being summoned like this to help a new princess in need by the powers of the mysterious Amulet of Avalor...but that would mean her amulet summoned us. She saw Mal look at the guards.
"Um, is this good or bad?" The other girl, princess Isabel Flores of Avalor asked nervously. Sofia wasn't sure.
The guards decided to ignore the four confused teenage girls in favor of capturing the two princesses as the returning evil sorceress Shuriki had ordered. Sofia knelt by Isabel, ready to try to protect her.
"We have to help them." Evie declared. But Mal and Lonnie were a step ahead of the blue haired girl and the brunette princess as they stepped in between the two men and the two little girls.
The guards stopped, trying to figure out what was going on here. "I suggest you two back off before we make you regret what you're doing." Lonnie warned them.
"What are you going to do?" One of them challenged as Audrey stepped up beside Lonnie and Evie stepped next to Mal.
"I'll show you what we're going to do." Mal said. She looked to her three friends. "Let's get to work." She declared, and Sofia saw the four girls reached for something only to see shock on their faces when apparently they came up empty.
"Um, where our i Phones?" Audrey asked. "This has never happened before." They were always on them, without them they couldn't morph.
The guards looked amused. Then one of them went for Mal while other went for Lonnie.
The guard who went after the purple haired girl tried to stab her with his sword but she dodged around the attack, then raised her leg and brought it down on his arm hard enough to force him to draw the sword. It was actually a miracle that she didn't snap bone as well. She elbowed him in the face and sent him falling backwards.
The guard who went after the Asian princess jabbed with his spear but she side stepped it and caught the middle part of the weapon in her hand before pushing it forward into her opponents stomach. He let out a grunt as he dropped the weapon and Lonnie performed a very impressive spin kick across his jaw that sent him sprawling backwards beside his partner.
"Wow." Isabel said. "Now that is impressive." She wasn't sure she had ever seen their head of the royal guard Gabe Nunez or visiting mermaid bodyguard Sonya do that particular move. She just wondered if these girls were on their side or simply eliminating the competition.
Sofia knew her amulet summoned them, so she assumed they had to be on their side. But impressive moves against two guys were one thing, but to save their families and friends they had to go through several big and tough demons.
The guards looked up in shock at Mal and Lonnie. Evie and Audrey were beside them now and looked ready to fight too. Sofia was sure if the brunette and blue haired girl fought as well as the purple haired girl and the Asian girl then the men were no match for them.
They seemed to have come to the same conclusion too as the two of them ran off. The four teens looked to Sofia and Isabel. Then the Asian girl took a step toward the younger girls and to all of their surprises she curtsied a little. "Princess Sofia, it's nice to actually meet you." She said.
"You know who I am?" Sofia asked in shock.
"Wait, this is Princess Sofia?" Audrey asked now. Mal and Evie looked just as confused as the Enchancia princess did. She had heard the stories of course, but to think they were real, it was a shock to her.
"My mother told me about her encounter with you and another princess in a bamboo forest." The Asian girl explained to her. Sofia nodded, she remembered meeting Mulan when she, Princess Jun of Wei Ling and her half sister Princess Amber were trying to rescue their family from the Jade Jaguar. And getting trapped in a maze of statues. "I'm Lonnie, the daughter of Mulan."
Audrey nodded as she picked up what Lonnie said. "My mother Aurora told me about her encounter with you to remind you that you could rely on whatever animal friends you have, just as she did when she was younger. I always thought she made it up." She said a bit embarrassed and then curtsied as well. "I'm her daughter Audrey." She introduced.
Sofia was a little shocked to be meeting two of the daughters of princesses she had met in her short time as princess of Enchancia, and she dimly realized that meant those princesses were now queens instead like her mother Miranda. "It's nice to meet you, thank you for helping us." Sofia said with a curtsy of her own.
"Who are you two? " Isabel asked Mal and Evie.
The two exchanged looks a moment and then Evie smiled at them, "My name is Evie, I'm the sister of Snow White." She realized that if her step sister had ever encountered Sofia she had never heard of it. Instinct also told her that she had never encountered her other step sister Rose Red, since they had only rescued her and her son Grant from an exiled island not too long ago. "And this is my friend Mal."
Sofia was kind of surprised they were still here. Normally the amulet only summoned a princess long enough to help and then they vanished. It also only normally summoned one princess, not four of them.
"So what was with those two clowns?" Mal asked as she glanced back at where the two guards had run.
"They were trying to take us back to this evil sorceress who captured the rest of our families." Sofia explained to them all as her face took on a sad expression. "My mom, my dad, my brother James and my sister Amber and my classmates." She took Isabel's hand. "And her grandparents, cousin Esteban, her sister the crown princess of Avalor Elena, and their friends."
Now the four of them understood it. "This is why we're here. We're here to help you." Audrey concluded. That kind of assistance was easy enough, they had just helped the entire planet Earth from being annihilated by the Triceratons and their black hole generator.
"How can you help us?" Isabel asked curiously.
"That's a good question." Evie said softly. "We don't have our i Phones"
"And it's just the four of us." Audrey added. "We don't have the rest of our friends here and we're used to like twenty people with us." Granted Ellie and Alex were in Arendelle so it would just be eighteen instead.
Mal smirked at the two of them. "If those two are the likes of what we can expect then we don't need any special abilities or more people to save them." She replied as she crossed her arms over her chest almost dismissively.
"Yeah, I wish it were that simple." Sofia said to them reluctantly. "But Shuriki, that would be the evil sorceress who has our family and friends, made some kind of alliance with these really scary looking demons and she's using them to help her."
"Demons?" Audrey questioned. At first Sofia thought she was skeptical, but she quickly realized that Audrey wasn't skeptical, she was concerned. "What kind of demons?" After Isabel described the one she knew best, the Caballero del Infierno which the four rangers knew as Hell Knights, the brunette princess shook her head and sighed. "Swell, those things."
"You know about them?" Sofia asked.
Mal nodded. "Yeah, we ran into them a couple of times. So have some friends of ours." There was no time to tell them about the demonic attacks they had launched in Auradon, or their attack on the Lightspeed Aqua Base in Mariner Bay. She sighed now. "Four of us, no weapons, no powers. We are in so much trouble." She drolled.
"There has to be something we can do to even out the odds here." Evie said as rubbed the sides of her head to ward off a developing headache at the bad odds in front of them. She took out her compact mirror restlessly.
Sofia watched her a minute and then an idea struck. "Is that a magic mirror?" She asked the blue haired girl.
"Yeah it is." Evie replied. She had gotten it from her mother the day they went to Auradon Prep, it was meant to help them steal Fairy Godmother's magic wand but it had found another use recently, as the base for her power weapon. "Can that help us?"
"I think it can." Sofia said with a small smile. "And hopefully we can try to solve your problem. But first we have to figure out how to get there." The girls looked confused but Isabel knew exactly what she was talking about; the secret library.
"What about your amulet?" Audrey asked. "Can we use that with Evie's mirror to take us wherever you want us to go like you brought us here?"
Sofia shrugged uncertainly. Evie handed her the magic mirror and said, "Give it a try Sofia." Sofia nodded and placed the glass of the mirror under the amulet and whispered something, Isabel assumed it had to do with the secret library. Then to all of their surprise they vanished.
The two guards who had been beaten by the four Auradonian girls had made their way back to a secluded tower, not looking forward to reporting back to their sorceress queen that they had failed to capture two little girls. When they entered they saw Shuriki along with Pierce in the middle of the enclosed areas where the prisoners were kept. On one side, behind an invisible field were the people from Avalor; crown princess Elena Castillo Flores (and her pet bujito Blaze), her cousin and Chancellor of Avalor Esteban, and her grandparents Francisco and Luisa, her royal guard Gabe Nunez and his little sister Christina, another guy Jorge who worked at the docks with Naomi (when she wasn't busy with the ground council) and her father, the royal wizard Mateo de Alma and the mermaid girl from the ocean Sonya who was currently in her mer form, meaning she was going to die soon since she could not survive long outside of water without the moon ring that had given her legs. And the princesses' friend Naomi Turner, whom the captain of their guard Pierce had an obsession with. Pierce himself had been the captain of the guard during Shuriki's reign in Avalor after having killed Elena's parents until recently.
On the other side in another barrier were all the royal families of Enchancia; King Roland and his wife Queen Miranda along with their two children Prince James and Princess Amber. They also had the families of several kingdoms, as before this attack they had been involved in kingdom picnic.
From the other side was one Caballero del Infierno, a Hell Knight demon and a dozen Imps. They were guarding the royal family in case they escaped. The larger Hell Knight had a pack that contained several items; Elena's Scepter of Light, several weapons taken off the guard including the stone spear Gabe had gotten from a quest and magical throwing ax Naomi had adopted in case she needed to fight as well, and Mateo's tamborita, a magical almost drum like wand that helped him cast magic.
Shuriki turned toward the two guards, looking ecstatic but her face changed to annoyance and anger as she questioned, "Where are the two princesses?"
That drew everyone's attention, and Elena could see Christina smile a bit to know two of her friends had eluded capture. Amber and James were also smiling at that. "They…they escaped Queen Shuriki." One of them told her.
"What?! How is that possible?!" She demanded to know. She was clearly furious at this revelation as she pointed her newly restored wand at the two of them. "They are two little girls! How could they possibly have escaped you!?"
"Sofia outsmarted you." Elena reminded the sorceress simply as the young princess had been the one to free Elena from her forty one year imprisonment in the amulet of Avalor which she had accidentally been trapped in after Shuriki had invaded Avalor and killed her parents (with Mateo's grandfather putting Isabel and her grandparents in a magical painting to keep them safe from Shuriki) that Sofia wore around her neck, but the sorceress chose to ignore the crown princess as she waited for her minions to answer her question.
Neither royal family or friends expected the answer they got. "Four teenage girls got in the way and helped them." The same man answered. The quickly described the purple haired girl, the blue haired girl, the brunette girl and the Asian girl.
"You two got your butts kicked by teenage girls?" The other guard asked with amusement. Shuriki however was clearly not.
"Friend of yours?" They could just hear Hildegard ask Jun. She thought maybe the Asian girl was related to the Wei-ling family but she just shrugged.
Shuriki let out a growl. "Never send humans to do a demon's job." Still this was not what the evil sorceress wanted to hear. When she had first sought out assistance and made contact with the demons she had learned quite a bit about their history including their failed attacks on a planet named Earth where they had faced multiple oppositions from the power rangers of Earth, and that they were now dealing with Auradon rangers as well. All of these rangers were why one of the lords of the realm had sent a Hell Knight after the orbs that Elena and her group had started to acquire at the castle, only barely failing because of her ability to use the Scepter of Light to kill it. But to hear that somehow some of those pests had found their way here when she was implementing her plan to conquer Enchancia before taking a large army to Avalor was not what she wanted to hear.
She turned around and waved her wand. Two more Caballero del Infierno's, two Empezaban's and a dozen Imps in front of her. "Go, find the two brats and bring them to me. They must be alive." Elena hated the fact that she didn't say they had to be uninjured. "And these other four brats, kill them." The new demons vanished, presumably on their mission, and Shuriki motioned for the others to follow her out.
The captain of the guard, Pierce, stopped to smile at Naomi, it was not pleasant. "I'll see you later Naomi." He stated.
The four teen girls and the two young princesses appeared in the middle of the secret library and the four of them let out gasps of amazement. "Omg, Mal. I think this place actually has more books than Queen Belle's library." Evie said to her friend.
"Amy would love this place." Mal agreed with amusement as she looked around. Her younger twin sister was one of the biggest readers she had ever met, losing herself for hours at a time in a good book. She loved her boyfriend's mother's library very much.
"Most of these books aren't actually finished yet." Sofia revealed as she held her amulet in her hands. "It's my job to give these books happy endings." This was relatively new information to her as well as this had been revealed to her by her Aunt Tilly. This was in fact how she had found out about Elena and Avalor.
"Does this invasion count as an unfinished story?" Audrey wondered.
"If it does, then we're about to write it a good chapter." Mal said with a smile. "Let's see if we can contact our friends and get some back up here for us." She exchanged glances with Evie. If these were indeed the same demons their friends had encountered multiple times then this wouldn't be the last chapter.
"What do we need to do?" Lonnie asked Sofia.
"Evie, normally I place a book over here." Sofia explained as she hovered her hand just over the small space below the large frame like object surrounded by crystal. "But I think if you put your magic mirror here it should open up the doorway you need."
"Sounds great." Evie said and placed her magic mirror where the young Enchancia princess indicated. It glowed and then they found themselves staring into a classroom. It was the same place that Evie, Mal, Carlos and Jay had taken remedial goodness 101.
They could see Fairy Godmother at the head of the command center. Around her were not only Jay, Carlos and Ben but three more of their friends. One was a brunette girl Melody the daughter of Ariel and Eric. In her hand was the trident that her grandfather Triton had let her use for their missions to keep Auradon and the world safe. Beside her was a long haired brunette, Melody's cousin Aquiella who was dressed in an orange tank top with her left shoulder bare and orange shorts. And the last one there was a girl who looked exactly like Mal except for two differences; one was that she was shorter than Mal by about two feet and the other was that she had rose colored hair. Isabel guessed that was Amy.
"So they just disappeared?" Melody had asked. "That seems so weird." Amy already had felt something, like Mal was suddenly a world away but they had had no idea what it meant. So they too had come to their command center.
"And these didn't go with." Ben repeated as he held out their i Phones
"I don't think Mal is in danger." Amy volunteered. "At least for what that's worth."
"I have Jane scanning for them now, but if they're not in Auradon it might be a waste of time." Fairy Godmother said to them all. "She is also contacting our friends to find out if they know anything but so far we haven't heard back."
"This was a fine time for Ellie and Alex to go back to Arendelle." Carlos noted with a shake of his head.
"They had to make sure that things are going okay after the kingdom had to be repaired following the Ice Queen's invasion." Ben reminded him simply. Sofia and Isabel exchange glances. That was quite unexpected information and though they didn't know the details they thought it might be a good sign that they repelled an invasion.
Mal wondered if they could hear them or not and decided to find out. "Hey, when you guys are done maybe we could get a word in." She said to them. Evie giggled as Audrey rolled her eyes.
Ben looked up. "Mal. Where are you? Are you alone?" He asked.
"Nope, we're all here." Audrey answered. "We can see you in this kind of weird mirror thing in this really big library somewhere, wherever it is that Princess Sofia lives."
Carlos, Jay and Amy exchanged confused looks. "Enchancia." Fairy Godmother filled in for all of them though it was clear that Melody and Ben didn't need to be told that as they had the same vaguely familiar look pass their faces that Lonnie and Audrey had. "You must be in the secret library."
"How does she know about that?" Isabel asked.
"Sometimes it seems like Fairy Godmother knows everything." Lonnie answered. "Even though magic is all but forgotten in Auradon." That information kind of surprised Sofia and Isabel but they didn't say anything. In fact, that had been a topic of debate among their group as well, especially since they had used it to help them recently, Fairy Godmother had even conceded to start teaching magic classes to those of them who wanted it, though Evie had not joined the class despite her heritage.
"How can we get to you?" Amy now asked and Mal had to smile a little. Amy worried very much for her older sister, though in truth the feeling was mutual she just wasn't always as expressive about.
Sofia thought a moment. "Is there any mirror around there? We're talking to you with Evie's magic mirror." She suggested.
"One moment Princess Sofia." Fairy Godmother said to them. She left the room and returned pushing a floor length mirror. As if by magic they suddenly found themselves face to face through the magical mirror barrier.
"Hey, you left something behind." Jay joked as he pointed to the i Phones on the console.
Audrey crossed her arms in annoyance. "We didn't leave anything behind, somehow those didn't transfer over to us when we were called here." She replied and Amy rolled her eyes at the drama but still giggled a little.
"And it's really bad timing too." Lonnie said to them. "We were summoned here by the Amulet of Avalor, headmistress. Their families are being held by an evil sorceress and she has command of those demons that attacked Mariner Bay and that Chad commanded in the last fight."
"Oh that is not good." Aquiella said, a slight accent to her voice that no one could exactly identify since she originated in Atlantica.
"Can we use the mirror to come to you guys?" Ben asked. "We can help you out."
"That's what we're hoping." Sofia replied.
"Then let's get everyone together and let's do it." Melody declared.
"It'll take days for Alex and Ellie to return from Arendelle." Amy reminded them. "We're going to have to do this two people shy."
"No." Mal said. "You guys come through, we'll have to make do with what we have. Everyone else has to stay there in case Maleficent tries something. After what happened on Earth we can't ask the others to come watch Auradon this time." She instructed. That meant Will, Grant, Jordan, Ally, Aziz and Ruby would have to stay behind. Jane also suspected she would need to stay there as well.
"Be warned that if for whatever reason their i Phones wouldn't go with them to Enchancia, then yours won't either. You won't have your powers." Fairy Godmother cautioned them.
"Uh, maybe we should rethink this." Carlos joked nervously, pulling on the collar of his shirt a moment.
"Okay hang on a moment." Melody said as she looked down at her trident and then perked up. "Maybe the time period prevents technology. But it didn't leave Evie's mirror behind. So maybe we can still use magic."
Amy perked up as well now. "So we can take our weapons. They might be the byproducts of our powers, of technology, but they're still magical items." She finished excitedly.
"That's what we're hoping." Evie said. "Can you bring our weapons for us please?"
"You got it." Jay promised. "See you in a few minutes."
Amy, Jay and Aquiella moved to the side of the room and accessed their systems. In theory the majority of the weapons sans Jane's magic wand, Melody's trident, and Evie's mirror were not something they could normally access when not morphed but there were always ways around such things. And they would need that this time. "I've never used my rose lance when not morphed." The rose haired girl mused. "I hope I can actually lift them up."
"You'll be fine I'm sure." Aquiella promised her friend.
Sofia looked to the four teen girls. "So you really stopped an invasion?" She asked them.
"Technically we've stopped quite a few of them." Mal said with a small shrug as if it were no big deal though at the time she certainly wouldn't have said so. "We had to go Wonderland to rescue Alice Liddell, the mother of one of our friends Ally and get rid of the Red Queen. We stopped this major creep Paradias from destroying Auradon, we also had to stop this primal creature Sermaya from taking resurrecting his people and destroying civilization."
"It wasn't an invasion exactly but don't forget the Neptunian's." Audrey added. They lived around the oceans of Atlantica and had been trying to get a hold of their clam shaped ultrazord.
"The Neptunian's?" Isabel asked in shock. They too had had their own encounter with the Neptunian's, after they had gotten a hold of a magical comb worn by the younger princess Oona from Merroway Cove and caused a storm that had struck Avalor and washed the injured Sonya on their shores. They had gone back to try to help but their ship had gotten sunk by a large sea creature called a Kraken, they were luckily saved by the floating palace from Enchancia. Oona had found her way to her friend Sofia and they had agreed to help the mermaids.
"Do you know them?" Evie asked her.
Isabel nodded. "They invaded Merroway Cove and tried to steal this powerful pearl called the Jewel of the Oceans from friends of ours named Sonya and Oona, who is the younger princess of that kingdom and Sofia's friend." She replied.
"Those little freaks." Audrey groused. "I knew we let them off too soon." As if trying to steal the ultrazord, attacking their parents and nearly killing Aquiella wasn't enough. She looked a little worriedly to her friends. "They must have invaded for the jewel after we stopped them from taking the ultrazord."
"And they probably wanted to use that to get revenge on us." Mal agreed grimly. She looked to Sofia and Isabel. "I'm glad that you guys stopped them then."
"Thanks to Elena." Isabel said with a small smile and then it fell as she thought about her sister, their family and friends being held hostage somewhere. "I hope that everyone is okay." She added softly.
"Hey don't worry." Mal said as she approached the two of them, kneeling down and taking one of their hands in one of hers. "We're going to get your family out safe and sound and kick this evil sorceress out of power."
"Got them." Jay declared.
Fairy Godmother nodded. "Excellent. I was able to scrounge a bag for you to store them in until you need to use them." There was no question in her mind that they would be using those weapons sooner rather than later.
The mirror shimmered and the rest of their friends came out of the mirror; Jay, Carlos, Ben, Amy, Aquiella and Melody. Jay had a large bag over his shoulder that Sofia hoped had the weapons that Mal and her friends said they would need. "Miss us?" Jay asked.
"Not in the slightest." Lonnie joked. "I miss my iPhone more." Of course after this mission was done, one way or another, they might all be agreeing with the Asian princess there.
Mal rose and went over to hug her little sister and her boyfriend, the two of them brushing lips together softly. Sofia could just imagine Elena and Gabe like that someday, and same with Isabel and James. Mal's affection for her sister was obvious, she saw that with Elena and Isabel all the time.
"So what are we waiting for?" Jay asked as he threw his arm around Audrey's shoulder and kissed her cheek, making her blush just a little. He looked to Sofia and Isabel. "Let's go save your friends."
Evie extracted her mirror and Sofia lead them out of the secret library. "Magic mirror in my hand, lead us to the place that holds the sorceress's plan." Evie chanted and the mirror produced a map from the tree of the secret library to their destination, which Sofia recognized from history class at Royal Prep.
They had only just left the hollow tree of the secret library though when a sickly bright orange flash seemed to zip through the forest, and in front of them appeared the two Caballero del Infierno's/Hell Knights, the two Empezaban's/Revenant's and the dozens of Imps. They heard a gruff voice state, "This is your end. The time has come for you to all fall before our might." Isabel recognized it as the voice that had ordered the first Caballero to acquire the orbs that were currently in the treasure room in Avalor. Mal and her team recognized it from the incident at Mariner Bay.
"Yep, same demons." Jay commented as they started toward them.
