Heartful Message from the Mother Queen
Praxina is watching at the Lolirock home through the secret spying waterfall of her new secret cave hideout, watching carefully of her enemies while trying to come up with a plan to take them all down.
"Just you wait, I'm going to find a way to beat you all." Praxina promised to herself as she continues watching.
(Iris' Home)
Iris is watching the footage of the band dancing together wanting to see how the dance moves go while Auriana and Lev are in the kitchen together wiping up lunch for everyone.
"I definitely need to make the pose at the end snappier." Iris stated.
"I don't know, you looked really awesome like that." Nathaniel believed.
"He's right, the pose is perfect. And I would tell you if it wasn't." Talia stated as she switches the channel of the TV.
"Speaking of perfect, is it really taking so long to make this food you're preparing to be "perfect" because my stomach isn't caring about that right now." Carissa demanded and pointed at her stomach to Lev and Auriana.
"Yeah, what's the point of having food if you're not going to put them in your mouth?" Mephisto asked making Carissa giggles.
"Don't rush us, is our first earth meal we're making together and I want it to be special!" Auriana smiled at Lev who gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Not to mention I'm making sure the instructions for the recipe doesn't get covered in food while we're making." Lev added.
"That better help give me some fuel for the brain, there's this new invention I've been thinking of from my past life of Tails." Doug tapped on his head.
Meanwhile. Iris' Aunt Ellen just walk past the living room door seeing her niece having so much fun with her friends and seeing her so happy, it was then she came to the decision that she would finally give Iris the special gift after all these years.
Aunt Ellen went outside of the house and moves around going behind a bush while making sure no one was watching.
But unfortunately for her, there was someone watching her and that someone is Praxina.
(With Praxina)
"Huh, what is that woman up to?" Praxina wondered as she zooms closer to Aunt Ellen.
"If I remember correctly, this earth woman was the one who found that big shot princess and raised her." Praxina recalled that little information about this earth woman.
Praxina looks closely and carefully at the older woman earth who just took out a special looking box from the bushes, thinking this earth woman is acting strange until she notice a special certain symbol on the box.
"Wait a minute, that's the Ephedia Royal seal! And that crystal inside looks like…" Praxina started to form an evil plan in her head.
"Oh, oh, oh, the Queen was wise to leave an important package for her loving daughter because now that's what going to help me decrease their power." Praxina smirked with her eyes glowing.
(With Mephisto)
"Might as well just wait outside to get my mind off the food until it's ready." Mephisto complained as he steps outside.
While he tries to think of something to get his mind off the hunger, he suddenly senses a familiar presence that just entered Sunny Bay and knew one person like that.
"Well, not what I had in mind, but I better make sure she doesn't cause any trouble." Mephisto said before flying into the air.
The scene changes to Aunt Ellen is driving her car into town finding a parking lot and then walking into a store to get something for the special reveal for Iris, and then Praxina appears in front of the store.
"Perfect, now to get his party in motion." Praxina rubbed her hands together.
"Or not." Mephisto landed across from his twin sister much to her annoyance.
"Oh great, and just when I was about to have my fun." Praxina exclaimed with a fierce glare.
"I may not know what you're up to, but I can tell that it has something to do with Aunt Ellen. Which is why I'm not going to let you have your way." Mephisto said before charging at her.
Praxina quickly form two magic seal barriers and jumps back right when Mephisto easily broke through those barriers only to be struck on the head by her axe-kick.
"Always the predictable one." Praxina mocked before flying up.
Mephisto gets angry and flew after her while throwing some crystal projectiles with his punches which she dodges them, then she unleash a giant crystal blast to push him down more than six feet underground though the punching red hair wouldn't let that happen as he punches through the giant crystal.
Praxina appears next to him and perform a fast slash attack.
"You're also predictable." Mephisto grabbed her cape and spins her around fast and threw her onto the ceiling of the store.
"Now, whatever your plan was for coming here and be foiled by yours truly." Mephisto smirked while holding his spiked fist close to her.
"Are you sure about that?" Praxina smirked, but she didn't even move her mouth.
Mephisto finds that strange until Praxina started cracking and turning black red for some reason and shatters into little pieces, this shocks the red hair puncher and looks up when hearing an evil laugh seeing Praxina floating above him.
"So close, and yet so far. I hope would like what I helped with her aunt's gift to her." Praxina smiled evil.
"Gift for Iris?" Mephisto confused of what her evil twin sister means and look down seeing Aunt Ellen leaving the store with a box wrapped.
"What did you do?" Mephisto demanded.
"Something that is sure to keep that goody princess from doing anything for a while." Praxina grinned.
"Later, loser!" Praxina vanished from the scene before Mephisto could do anything.
"Damn it, she always had to make the quick getaway!" Mephisto cursed and look to Aunt Ellen driving away in her car heading back to the house.
"Whatever she got for Iris must be special, and my sister is trying to use that for her own evil plan. Better not let it happen." Mephisto said before flying off.
(Iris' Home)
Mephisto arrived at the house ahead of Aunt Ellen to tell everyone the news about his encounter with Praxina and her plan involving a gift the aunt got for Iris.
"Guys!" Mephisto barged into the living room getting everyone's attention.
"Mephisto, you're just in time for the spring veggie wraps me and Lev just finished. Bet your stomach will be glad to have some food in you now!" Auriana presented the spring veggie wrap.
Mephisto was about to say something that he would reject the food for a moment though the sight and the smell caught him to hold that info in for a while, and he took one as everyone else grab their own.
"Let's hope your tongues can handle the added twist Auriana thought of." Lev snickered, trying to hold in his laugh.
"Shall we try them together, my princess?" Nathaniel asked holding wrap between them.
"Why yes, I would." Iris nodded and they both bite on the wrap together and kissed each other for a second.
"Wow, the wrap is good." Nathaniel impressed.
"Yeah, it's warm and… warm… Too warm!" Iris exclaimed, feeling her tongue is starting to catch fire.
"Oh, more like extra spicy warm!" Doug gasped while fanning his mouth.
"Excuse me, but what exactly did you put in these wraps?" Lyna asked panting of the sudden heat in her mouth.
"Oh, nothing much, just follow the recipe. Right, Auriana?" Lev asked smirking at his girlfriend.
"Yes, but there was this one part in the recipe that says we only need to put one chili pepper except they were so tiny, so Lev thought of putting in seven to give them some extra kicks." Auriana explained.
"Whoa, whoa! The kicks sure are working right now!" Mephisto surprised with his mouth burning from the inside.
Nathaniel felt the burning sensation running through his mouth so much that he ran around the living room using his superspeed until he trips on the couch and crash onto a wall, even Amaru is freaking out from the hot spicy flavor of the veggie wraps that he is running and jumping around.
The only one who hasn't eaten the wrap is Talia witnessing how dangerous Lev and Auriana made them to be.
"Huh, I'll save mine for later." Talia said.
"Then you're a big baby for not trying because these are great!" Carissa smiled as she eats another one and not being bothered by the spicy taste.
"How is your tongue not burning with pain?" Doug asked shock.
"Carissa would always challenge herself to try out new things, including eating some spicy food." Lyna explained as everyone quickly drank some water.
"Great, now I feel like I'm forgetting something important." Mephisto cursed himself, mostly forgetting about Praxina today.
"I'm back!" Aunt Ellen called out as she enters the living room.
"Aunt Ellen, wanna piece of the spring veggie wraps me and Lev made… with our love!" Auriana smiled and kissed him on the cheek making him blush.
"No!" Iris quickly took one wrap that Aunt Ellen was about to take.
"You'll thank me later." Iris assured while everyone else are drinking the water fast and Aunt Ellen put two and two together.
"That's okay, I already ate." Aunt Ellen said.
"More for me then!" Carissa took two more and shove them in her mouth, moaning in delight of how good these spring veggie wraps taste.
"Iris! I have a surprise for you!" Aunt Ellen informed.
"For me? What's the occasion?" Iris asked, feeling a little excited of the surprise.
"It's not going to be like the 13th Birthday crazy time, right?" Nathaniel asked raising an eyebrow.
"Hey, everyone still had a fun time and the birthday was still a big success!" Aunt Ellen proclaimed causing Iris to laugh a little.
"The occasion is about the best day of my life! The anniversary of the day you arrived on my doorstep!" Aunt Ellen revealed.
"You're right! How could I forget!" Iris realized, smiling of joy the day she was raised by the most wonderful woman on the entire planet.
"You know, I sometimes forget that Iris was raised here for moment of her life." Lev commented whispering to Auriana.
"Here's a little reminder." Aunt Ellen pulled out a present out from her bag.
"What is it?" Iris asked.
"Open it and find out." Aunt Ellen said.
Iris unwraps the wrapper revealing the same secret box that and opens that box revealing a beautiful purple crystal inside, only those of Ephedia would immediately recognizes the crystal inside the box as they gasp and Mephisto suddenly felt his mind working right upon remembering his encounter with Praxina.
"Oh, now I remember!" Mepshito cursed whispering to himself.
"Aunt Ellen, it's… amazing!" Iris surprised, blown away of this amazing gift.
"I didn't think you were saving enough money for this." Nathaniel surprised as well.
"I didn't need to; it was in the basket with Iris that morning. I've been waiting for the right time to give it to you." Aunt Ellen explained and looked to Iris.
"Thank you, it's beautiful!" Iris hugged her adopted aunt with a big smile on her face.
"Yeah, it sure is! In fact, why don't we go somewhere else where the light is better." Talia suggested which the others caught on.
"Huh, but the light is still good in the living room." Mephisto puzzled, not really getting what Talia was getting at.
"Let just go to our studio." Talia said as everyone leaves for the studio as Aunt Ellen waves goodbye to them.
Lolirock and the boys are now inside the secret magic base where Tail claims they can look at it with better lighting, but Iris can tell that this is more than the lighting.
"So, I guess this isn't about the better light." Iris said.
"Oh, what we're about you is more than that!" Carissa chuckled exciting.
"What your aunt has given you is a vocal-extra!" Talia revealed shocking Iris as she looks down at the crystal from the box.
"Iris, someone send you a message from home!" Auriana smiled.
"Message from home, what does she mean by that?" Nathaniel asked Lyna.
"A vocal-extra is kind of like a recorded message from someone who wanted to say something to you but either didn't have the time nor place, so one would use a vocal-extra to make an important message to tell that someone something they wanted to say." Lyna explained.
"I see, so it's like a video message for someone specific." Doug nodded, understanding this.
"Iris, this could be from your birth parents!" Nathaniel guessed making the long-lost princess smile.
"You'll need to cast a Crystal-Rekludo to unlock the message and find out." Talia mentioned.
"But first, you got to remove whatever dark magic my sister may have put in there." Mephisto warned getting everyone worry a little.
"What do you mean by that." Talia asked.
"When I went outside to wait for the food Lev and Auriana were making, I sensed my sister's presence in Sunny Bay and knew she was up to no good and went to face her soon after." Mephisto began explaining about earlier.
"Without letting us know? Dude, we're a team, we got to know these things." Nathaniel stated.
"I know and I'm sorry, but I thought I could stop my sister from doing something before it could happen. But it looked like she got the jump on me and mention something about Iris' gift." Mephisto gestured to the crystal.
"You mean she did something to the vocal-extea?" Lyna asked.
"Knowing that girl, she must've used her black magic to mix up the message to make Iris give up fighting or something else." Lev guessed.
"Which is why I'm not going to let that happen!" Mephisto said as he held out his hand and starts cleansing the crystal of every ounce of dark magic inside for a moment.
"There, it's all clean!" Mephisto announced as he stands up.
"Okay Iris, you ready to hear the message?" Nathaniel asked.
"Yeah, feeling better now that there won't be any mix-up message from Praxina." Iris nodded with a cute smile.
Iris looks down at the crystal for a few seconds before holding out her hand above the crystal ready to cast the spell.
"Crystal-Rekludo!" Iris casted the spell crystal and it opens up revealing a smaller crystal that looks like a star and shines a phantom figure above it.
"Hold on, is that…" Iris shocked of seeing this.
"It's your mother, the Queen of Ephedia!" Talia shocked.
The Queen of Ephedia is a very beautiful and slender fair-skinned woman with wavy floor-length orchid purple, middle part hair and light blue eyes that has long eyelashes. She wears a white, wavy long sleeved off the shoulder mermaid dress, with golden outlines and designs and a sparkly red layer underneath. A pink smooth crystal heart can be seen on the chest of the dress with a smaller blue gem in the center of it and a sliver tiara containing the Oracle Gems. She also wears gold half-heart shaped earrings.
"Now I know how you're beautiful every time I look at you." Nathaniel amazed while holding onto Iris' hand.
"Quite the smoking mom." Lev smirked, earning a hard elbow smack from Auriana.
"Iris, my lovely daughter. I have so many things to tell you, and so little time." The recorded of the Queen said as Iris can tell what she means by that.
"You're from a world called Ephedia and we sent you to earth to protect you from an evil that threatens us. By the time you see this message, I'm sure you'd have grown into a beautiful young princess and will be prepare to reclaim the throne from Gramorr. Once you have freed Ephedia, we will meet again, and I'll be able to hold you in my arms at long last. But before that day can come, remember to always follow your heart, stay true to yourself, and use your powers only for good. I love you, Iris." The Queen smiled before the message ends.
Iris smiles upon and hugs onto Nathaniel who embraces her back feeling that her heart has swore even higher upon hearing that.
"Oh man, I feel like I could sing all day and night!" Iris smiled.
"Glad nothing bad happened. Take that, Praxina!" Mephisto yelled.
"I don't know why, but I feel like I want to go surfing." Carissa said.
