Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I'm doing great after spending some quality time with my family! Near the end of Spring Break, took some personal time off to spend the weekend with my family and more! It was awesome!
But before anything else is said or done, I wish to give praise and thanks to God. Thank you Lord for being with me and the family this week. We spent some quality time together, bonded and also grew closer and stronger. With each other, as well as with you Jesus. Thank you for being with us through thick & thin, and also for helping me along with this mini-novel! Please continue to be with me, and help me when it comes to anything else in the life-run. With my stories, or with my family & friends!
Also, I want to dedicate this chapter to my Tia Pamela Shari Espurvoa-Allen! She is an awesome woman; mother, hard worker to her family, great support and guide to little ones that have autism, and also one powerful lady of God! She is going through some trials right now, but her faith and strength is something to be admired! So Tia Pam, this one is for you! Hope you like this!
And on another note… wish to apologize to everyone. Even though I received many wonderful and good reviews, I must apologize for the hastiness of my actions in putting up the previous chapter. I had planned for it to be larger, more grand & to introduce more characters as they battled against Cosmina's forces. But… I was in a hurry when the family trip came up. Lately, been preoccupied because of serious situations that concerned family at the moment. May have delayed my chapter, but family comes here first for this one! Still… no excuse in putting up a quick chapter, and for that I am sorry. I will do my best to make this one, and the rest, are not rushed!
Now I wish to thank those that have reviewed my work:
To LORD DESTRYUK: I thank you once again, both for the kind review and for the sweet scenario! It does hold potential, that I will grant you. To make a massive crossover of Kingdom Hearts with Monsters and Magic… now that would be a big undertaking! However, I do have other stories that I must attend to. Or at least see if I can still work on them, like my Danny Phantom saga & my Harry Potter/Jurassic Park works. But never fear, I will at least dwell on your proposition. That much I can promise you! And thanks for putting in the other reviews under as Guest!
To DRAGONDAVE45: I am glad to have put your OC's in a good light, and I am honored that you have left kind words & answered my questions.
To laze jovanov: Thank you for the review, and the info again both related to Toho and Disney! Also thank you for answering my questions, and I will do my best to answer yours.
To my lady love Kearitona Sjachraelgil: Thank you for the passionate review, and also for answering my questions! Always look forward to your words, and also hope to see more of your fire & zest by becoming more involved in the story!
To GODZILLA1996: Thank for the short but good review!
To bluemarvel0: Thanks for the review! The fight is still going on, and an epic showdown between Sofia the First & Sorceress Cosmina will soon commence! Hope you are ready!
And finally to Darkness Rissing: Thank you for the reviews! Like always, it's a treat to see one from a dedicated fan like yourself! And do not worry, I will remedy the situation concerning characters in battle such as with Genie and Eden! That I promise!
I really am glad to see many of you liking my story. It is my dream to get my trilogy series, plus this mini-novel and my one-shot Godzilla/House of Mouse special, recognized by Disney and Toho in a good way! With so many live-action remakes coming up that REALLY fall short of the animated classics I grew up & fell in love with, I believe that the company is slipping. So… well… just out of curiosity, can of you help me to get my series recognized? I have sent letters to Disney, but I still need to do more! So, can any of you help me in some way? I would really appreciate it!
I do not own Godzilla, nor any of the monsters/characters that are officially owned by Toho. Nor do I own any of the characters or places that are officially owned by the Walt Disney Company. Also, I do not own the Earth Eater, Firebird, Energy Beast, and the Crab Cyclopes. Those are monsters created and used in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Godzilla that showed in 1978.
I do own my OC creations, except for these particular ones. Solta Runzi, Magric Korastor, Crazeon & Horruk belong to LORD DESTRYUK completely. He has just given me permission to use them here, so will show them to best of ability. David Howard, Gwendolyn, Sage and Christina belong to DRAGONDAVE45. He has given me permission to use them here, so will display them to best of ability!
I do own some of the music that is shown here. Any I use that is by another artist/artists, I will give him/her/them the full credit and dues as it is their right.
Now, on with the mini-novel!)
Clash of Good vs. Evil
The front lines were under heavy assault from Cosmina's forces, the mortal and celestial fighters that were on Sofia's side were enduring heavy casualties from both Shadow Soldiers and Rock Rooks. The arch-angels from Heaven were no pushovers though, as Defenders with their shields prevented a majority of the enemy at bay. They had been trained to resist enemy attacks to such a degree that it was incredible! And the mortal guards from the various lands also showed their stuff with the Attackers, each one helping the others as best they could. Still, even they could not completely withstand the sheer numbers that was pouring forth onto them. Luckily, the Supporters & Healers came to their aid swiftly. And it was a good thing that they did.
The Supporters had blessed the Attackers and Defenders, mortal and celestial alike, with various crafts that boosted their abilities. Strength and/or endurance was increased many fold, speed & agility were boosted, or even regeneration of either health or magical energy was given! These boosts would not last long, mostly it would hold up for half an hour. But that was better than nothing, as it had given the offense and defense of the field an even ground of sort against Cosmina's all-out aggressive offense.
The Healers also aided all that they could on the battlefield, professional medics that were always a must in any kind of fight. It was fortunate too that these particular medics were of the heavenly kind, because they discovered something quickly concerning the enemy. The attacks from either wolf or bird-headed Shadow Soldier contained a toxin that had two functions. One was to deteriorate flesh, similar to how certain acids would melt through substances. The other function was subtle but more devastating… the toxin would actually start to creep into the very heart of the victim, gradually corrupting them from the inside out until they would turn evil! Almost like how Cosmina was infected when she first met Maleficent those many years ago!
Fortunately, the Healers had gifts that would neutralize the toxin! They would bathe the victim in white light, using holy energy to purge the toxin from their physical & spiritual system! True, the warrior would have some scars after the process was complete but that was better than having their very beings changed for the worse.
Right now, Genie and Eden were doing what they could to help their allies in the fight against Cosmina. The duo had changed into various personas from time to time, flowing with their magical attacks while keeping their enemies off-guard with their wild antics. As of this moment, they were dressed up as pirates that often raided the Caribbean islands & waters many years ago. Genie was dressed up as the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow, cutlass in one hand and a single-shot pistol in another that automatically reloaded itself with a magical energy shot. Eden was dressed as the famous, but sadly rarely heard Pirate Queen Elizabeth Swann-Turner. But instead of having the garb of a Western pirate, the magical beauty had opted to use the Oriental captain's uniform that the young lady wore long ago when she was made captain by Sao Feng, a Chinese pirate who was part of the legendary Brethren Court.
Genie spoke in a voice that was similar to the most unusual pirate of all time, "I got to say love, this be one for the record books! Think we should tell the others back home about our little adventures? I reckon that little Robin would be pleased to hear some new bedtime stories, especially ones that have his favorite monsters in them.". Their son Robin, a little blessing to both the magical and royal family, was back home in Agrabah being watched by Aladdin and Jasmine's old friend Sadira. She was a former street-rat, like Aladdin was once, but that changed when she stumbled upon the lair of the three Sand Witches! She learned their craft, and soon turned from lonely beggar… to a potent sand-user! For a while, she tried to get her magic to get Aladdin's heart. But soon, she accepted that Jasmine was Aladdin's love, and became friends with them.
Not only was Robin safe in the hands of the beautiful woman, but so was Agrabah! While some soldiers stayed behind to look after the place, Sadira was the main muscle due to her power over the sand. After many years of studying and learning of her magical craft, very few beings could even stand up to her. Also, like many of the citizens of Agrabah and Robin, she was a big fan of the Toho monsters when she learned about the rest that came to the Disney universe. Her favorite was King Caesar and Mothra.
Eden answered, "Aye, I bet that both Robin and the citizens would like to hear of this adventure! But we better make sure to downplay some of the action here.". Just after stating that, she ran her magical cutlass through an eagle-headed shadow being, and narrowly avoided a slash attack from a wolf-headed Shadow Soldier before countering with a spin attack that took off its head! Both evil creations disintegrated in a loud flash of black dust!
Genie shot a Rock Rook that was coming at them between the eyes with his pistol, blinding the massive rock monster, then turned into the infamous being known as Davey Jones! This particular being was part-human, part-squid and all bad when it came to fighting! The squid-faced former pirate smirked before melding into the creature, which was confused on what was going on. Soon, it let out a loud groan when Genie emerged on the other side… holding the golden Heart Stone in his left claw! The scary sea-faring captain raised the trinket up, and crushed it with his claw! The giant made of stone let out a final groan before its eyes went out, and the body crumbled to tiny pebbles!
The big, cool blue dude spun and changed back to normal. He wiped his hands free of debris and said smartly, "Ha! Now that's how it's done! I like to see anyone else try to top that!". Just after he made that statement, he was viciously attacked by three Shadow Soldier wolves that just struck out of nowhere! Eden's eyes widened and she cried out loudly before rushing to help her husband! Genie was now fighting off three dangerous humanoid wolf creatures, their jaws snapping and claws slashing at his body! One managed to bite down on his right shoulder, another on his side and the other was slashing away at his chest with its sharp claws!
Genie grunted loudly in pain, trying to get the things off of him! He exclaimed, "GET OFF OF ME YOU WEREWOLF REJECTS!". Before he or Eden could do anything, something golden grabbed the wolf that had latched onto his front. The beast looked down at his waist to see what appeared to be golden hair wrapped around it… and it was yanked back hard, the surprise forcing him to release its grip on the blue dude! The creature sailed in the air for a bit, the golden mane of hair releasing it until it was sliced clean in half by a sword! The wolf let out a short yelp before vanishing in a cloud of dust.
Eden, the injured Genie, and the wolves that were still latched onto the sides of their prey looked to see that coming in hot and fast was Rapunzel & Eugene Fitzherbert! And by their side was Snow White & Florian Rhoda! It was Rapunzel that had managed to get the first wolf off of their friend/ally, and it was Florian who sliced it clean in half with his sword!
The long-haired blond beauty exclaimed, "That's enough! You mess with my friends, you mess with us! Snow White, Eugene! Help out Genie, me and Florian got this!". Rapunzel used her hair again like a lasso, taking another of the wolf Shadow Soldiers that was on Genie's right back area off of the magical being, and pulling it to her! The wolf was snapped back and flying towards the queen of Leylstad, who smirked with confidence at it. The beast snarled, this time ready unlike its compatriot, and readied its claws and teeth. Alas, it was focused on its target… that it forgot one ticked off wife! Eden leapt up in front of the creation, cutlass held high and firm! The speed and momentum of the shadow minion did the rest, being sliced right down the middle before exploding into dust!
Florian rushed towards his fallen friend, the wolf minions snarling and rushing towards him! The king of his country started to parry and counter the slash attacks of his enemy, forcing him away from Genie. Said blue being was a mess, gashes and cuts all over with bite marks on his shoulder and left side. Genie muttered, "Ugh… don't feel so good…". It was the toxin slowly working into his systems!
Snow White and Eugene rushed over to their injured friend, the gentle woman looking over at the wounds. She looked to Eugene and said, "Okay… I will heal him as best I can. Please support me as I do this.". He nodded, taking out a pen and paper. He wrote something on it… and the parchment started to glow immediately, and a silver swirling energy shield wrapped around the trio!
The wife of Florian concentrated, and her hands started to glow in holy white light! Snow White had chosen to become a Healer, now imbued with the power to both heal & purge the toxin from the body! Eugene had opted to take the path of the Supporter, his wife a formidable offensive fighter he had known since he first met her. He was given a magical parchment and pen, about one-hundred sheets of paper in a pouch on his waist. What he wrote down on the parchment became reality, and he used it to boost abilities of his allies or form protective barriers! Anything he wrote down, however, would last only for half an hour.
Snow White saw that Genie was hissing in pain, trying to bear with it as his wounds were healed and the toxin being cleansed from his system. She whispered soothingly to him, "I'm almost done… please hang in there, my friend!". Genie just nodded to her, trusting the royal one from Germany.
Meanwhile, Florian was locked in combat now with his foe! The wolf Shadow Soldier snarled and snapped his teeth at the fighter, its clawed hands holding back the sword. The human struggled with his adversary… until a small smirk appeared on his face. This confused the shadow being for a moment, then Florian stated, "I believe it's time to say goodbye! Eden, now!".
Behind him, Eden rushed forward with two single-shot pistols in hand! The ticked off woman leapt over the combatants, doing a flip and gracefully landing behind the wolf! She aimed and fired at the back of the legs of her foe, the wolf howling in pain and being forced to releases its grip and fall to its knees. Florian finished it off by stabbing it in the chest with his blade, the creation yelping before exploding into black dust.
Eden rose up from her kneeling position and asked, "What is happening to Genie?! Is he alright?!". Rapunzel was about to answer, when she turned to see the silver energy shield fading to reveal the trio.
The brave woman answered, "I believe you can see for yourself. It looks like my husband and Snow White did their part well.". Genie was being helped up by the two royals, showing that his wounds were almost gone! Very light scars were in place where his wounds were once at, and it seemed that he was doing better. Eden smiled brightly with relief and joy, rushing over and embracing her husband. Snow White and Eugene released their friend just before Eden impacted with him.
Snow White stated, "He'll be fine now. A little bit tender and wobbly, but he's better. I had to a lot of holy energy to heal him, but it was worth it.". Truth be told, Snow White was running a little low on energy herself due to healing so many now on the battlefield. But she was determined as she was gentle & kind, and thus would not stop healing no matter what!
Eugene looked to Genie and said, "You're good at taking these creeps on, big guy. But don't get overconfident too soon, especially when we got thousands more to deal with.". The large blue being looked a bit down, knowing that the mortal was right as he had let his guard down too soon & paid the price for it. Eden though cheered him up, saying that he would do better now.
Rapunzel looked around, and saw that the fight was still going on. And just now, five hawk-faced Shadow Soldiers were streaking towards them, their beaks open wide and their talon-clawed hands and feet ready to slash at them! She held up her golden hair and said firmly, "Hey everyone, we still got a lot more enemies coming our way! Let's go!".
Genie got a determined look on his face, and changed himself yet again. He declared, "Well, since are fighting monsters… time to take it up a notch!". He spun and soon transformed, but this time he was King Kong! He had turned himself into a blue, mini-version of the 25-foot silverback ape that was in the other universe & lived on Skull Island! He pounded his chest, let out a deep roar that startled both ally and enemy, and charged towards the five shadow beings! Eden looked at her mortal friends, smirked and put in that her husband had a point here. She too changed, but this time she turned into a mini-version of Battra! She had turned into the brother of Mothra, and quickly flew over to help her significant other.
Florian looked confused, than it turned to amusement. He looked to his beautiful wife and said, "Honey, we really hang out with some crazy friends!". Snow White merely smiled warmly, knowing that it was wonderful to have good friends like them. Rapunzel than looked around, to see on where else they could help out on the front lines. Once she spotted some of their allies that needed some help, she rushed over there with Snow White, Florian and Eugene backing her up!
~Elsewhere~
In the air above, not quite as high where Amber and the others were at but high enough to be over the battlefield, three unique birds were also doing what they could against the humanoid bird shadow beings. Scuttle the seagull, Iago the parrot and Buizel the small Eurasian hobby had been duking it out with the Shadow Soldiers! Ones that jumped up high in the air, and occasionally the ones down below to help any of their allies that were having trouble against them. Right now, Scuttle and his feathered companions were looking down at the scene below them to see on who needed help. Iago mumbled, "I can't believe I gave up a nice, cushy paradise to come back to this place… oh boy, I need to have my head examined after this.".
Scuttle exclaimed, "Aww, come on! It's not that bad! We're here to help our friends, so less complaining and more… hey! Lookie down there! I see some fellow animals who need our assistance! Come on, let's go!". The feather-brained friend of Ariel got all puffed up before swooping down below to the front lines, weaving and dodging the celestial arrows that were being shot by the arch-angels so they could hit the bird shadow beings that kept trying to dive-bomb them from the sky. Buizel let out a trill of battle before following Scuttle, Iago merely shaking his head before diving down as well to catch up.
Down on the ground, Maximus and Sven had teamed up together to try and take down the various Shadow Soldiers who had been giving their comrades a hard time. Joining the two mammals were Sebastian, Olaf and Flounder! The deceased friend of Ariel and Melody was still flying/swimming about through the air, slamming his round body as best he could to stun his foes slightly before a stronger ally came to finish the job. Sebastian and Olaf had been riding on Sven, the old reindeer showing he was tough despite his age as he plowed through his enemies & tossed them aside with his powerful antlers! Maximus had managed to get hold of a sword from nearby with his teeth, and was surprising the shadow beings with his quirky but well-formed swordplay. In addition with using his own hooves and body to deliver damage, Maximus was a potent force despite his age!
Olaf jumped off of his friend, going to a wolf-headed Shadow Soldier and exclaimed, "I shall beat you bad guy with my powerful arms!". He went to the snarling beast and started to flail his scrawny, stick arms at Cosmina's creation. Now, even though the beast was mostly savagery and cunning similar to its real counterparts… it actually looked confused, and scratched its head in puzzlement at the living snowman's attack which was more comical than anything else. In truth, it actually looked like what a schoolboy would do against a much larger opponent.
Sebastian shook his head and muttered, "Oh, dat boy going to be the death of me… wait, I was dead before. Well… nevermind.". He hopped off of Sven quickly and scuttled towards where Olaf was, who was still scratching at his perplexed foe. Once he was there, he scuttled and climbed on the head of the living snowman and told for him to stop.
Elsa & Anna's friend opened his eyes, which have been shut the whole time, and looked up to his new friend. He asked, "Huh? Sebastian, what are you doing up there?".
The crab replied in a tone he often used with Ariel long ago when she was a little mermaid, "Excuse me, little ice cube with legs. But I tink I need to properly show you how one hurts an enemy. Now, pay attention and take some notes.". This got the wolf all confused, as this had gone from a comical scuffle into something of a lecture.
Sebastian said, "Step one, bring the enemy closer to ya.". He gestured with his right claw for their opponent to lower his head to him, the being again puzzled but doing what he was told and lowering its head until its muzzle was in front of the red crab.
He continued, "Step two, find da most vulnerable spot on body. Step three, bring in da strongest part of your body to bear. Than step four… let'em have it, like so.". As Sebastian was speaking, he held up his left claw high for Olaf and his foe to see… than reached out and pinched down hard on the tip of the muzzle, right on the nose! The wolf almost immediately howled in pain, shaking its head wildly to try and get the crustacean off of his nose. Sebastian held on for dear life as he was being flung around like a rag doll, but when he saw Sven charging their way with his antlers held down to charge right through the wolf, he let go on an upward toss and flew through the air.
Olaf gasped and ran under his friend to try and catch him. He yelled out, "I got ya! I got ya! I got ya!". He extended his stick arms, but tripped over his own two feet and landed in the icy dirt. Luckily for him, Sebastian plopped on his head where the snow cushioned his fall. In a way, Olaf did get him.
The crab looked down at his friend and said in a shaky voice, "And dat is how you hurt an enemy…". The living snowman picked himself up, and got his little sea comrade off of his flat top to see if he was alright. Sebastian was shaken & stirred, but he was okay. They turned in time to see Sven ram hard into the wolf that Sebastian injured, exploding into black dust upon impact.
However, an eagle-headed and another wolf-headed Shadow Soldier charged right at them from behind! The duo turned to see the creations bearing down upon them, and there was nothing they could do to properly defend themselves! They closed their eyes to await impact from any attack they could conceive… but a loud shout from above caused the four to look up. A streak of white came in and landed a flying kick landed on the eagle's face, stunning it and causing it to stumble back a bit. It was Scuttle, who grinned that his surprise attack actually worked. The wolf growled at this intrusion and leapt up to attack the bird. Scuttle managed to get his senses back in order, his eyes widening at seeing the beast leap at him with maw opened wide to chomp down.
He was saved when Iago came in, slamming a foot down hard on the head of the Shadow Soldier, forcing its head to come down and actually bite down hard on its own tongue! The shadow beast soon thrashed and yelped in pain, which caused its momentum and trajectory to go crazy as it came down to the ground. It started to thrash about in pain as it had almost literally bit its own tongue in half! The former sidekick of Jafar exclaimed, "I got more where that came from, dog breath!". The two evil creatures gradually started to get their wits together, and glared at all four beings. They started to stalk angrily towards the two birds, crustacean and snowman.
But they were saved by a small, special friend of Rapunzel… Buizel! The brave little guy started to flit and fly around the constructs, like a very fast and annoying fly as they growled/screeched as they tried to swat the bird down. But Buizel was swift and more clever than a normal Eurasian hobby as his frame allowed him to easily dodge their attacks. He was distracting them, and just in time as after a few minutes of dodging and weaving from their slash and bite attacks… Buizel trilled and flew upward. The Shadow Soldiers didn't know what hit them when Maximus ran towards them, and did a very unusual spinning attack that had his sword in his teeth cut them in half! The beings didn't utter a cry before they disintegrated to dust.
Buizel puffed himself up with pride, glad to have been able to help in taking care of those two. Maximus snorted and managed a smile to his friend, despite him having a blade in his mouth. He was proud of his small companion, and the others were also glad for the little guy's bravery. Iago complimented, "Heh, you got guts Buizel! Almost reminds me of Aladdin back in when he was younger… nah!". The Eurasian hobby just smirked, than all turned to see that more enemies were on the way!
Flounder the fish came flying/swimming to them and exclaimed, "Come on, you guys! We got more coming in! Let's go!". No rest for the weary, as the animal partners of the various beings scattered around the battlefield took to the fight once more.
~Solta/Lisa/Beast/Alice vs. Horruk~
Two parts of the front lines widened slightly, to accommodate the captains of Cosmina's army that were coming into play now on the battlefield. First was Horruk, the Stone Giant Captain who groaned loudly as it pulled outs its twin short swords from its back. It saw that rushing towards him was Solta & Lisa Runzi, the transformed Beast, and… the unusual woman who seemed out of place among the group, Alice. The behemoth let loose another loud groan/roar as he prepared for battle!
Solta held his double-bladed war axe tight, his magical and physical energy coursing through his being like a strong river rapid. He was about to do combat against an enhanced enemy that he had little to no information about. But, he would do as best he could with his new comrades by his side. He looked to his wife Lisa & Alice and inquired, "I don't suppose that any of you have a plan of attack other than just diving into it?".
Lisa answered, "Me and Alice will get his attention while you and Beast try to find any kind of weakness! Just judging by its looks, I would say its stone hide is denser than the ones on the Rock Rooks! And also that those swords of its can cleave through almost anything with little effort! And I'm guessing that it does have a Heart Stone within it!".
Alice added, "But the stone should be twice or three times the size of the ones inside the other rock monsters, given its size!". The English woman did not come to this battle unprepared. Surprisingly, she got help from the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Cheshire Cat himself! The denizens of Wonderland, the fantastical and crazy parallel world that Alice journeyed to as a young lady, came in their usual fashion. The group had appeared to her in her & her husband Virgil's home, a day before Alice went back to help Sofia! Luckily for the Englishwoman, her husband and daughter Lillie were gone from the home to pick up some supplies. The family had been visited by one of the angels, and needless to say… the father and daughter fainted upon hearing that Alice was to return back to where she was transported to in the first place.
However, the duo did not object to Alice having to go back. In their view, who were they to deny the will of the Almighty. Though they were very concerned for her well-being.
In any case, the crazy citizens of Wonderland had magically appeared in the large vanity mirror Alice had in her room. The White Rabbit had told her that the Red Queen and many others in his home had been watching the action from a special place within the Queen's palace. They had seen everything that had occurred ever since Alice was summoned by the amulet! Cheshire Cat, in his usual mad ways, had managed to flick with his tail through the mirror a bottle that was the size of a 20 oz. soda bottle, and was filled with a deep blue liquid. He told her that the liquid, when drunk, would allow her to make anything she imagined come a reality!
With a thought, she would create anything! However, she could not destroy anything with a mere thought & and that gave her some much needed relief upon hearing that. In addition, she could not use her power directly on someone such as instantly curing an ally. Alice replied that it was alright, and that it was better than nothing. The Mad Hatter put in that each drink would last for thirty minutes, and that the bottle could only be used five times. After the fifth gulp, it was all gone for good. Now that made the Englishwoman think more carefully on the potent bottle.
Now, said bottle was in her hand and already she had to use it two times. Three more times, and that was it!
Beast growled, "Maybe so, and I bet that it'll be harder to get out if it's that large. Come on, let's see what we can learn and do against this thing!". He let out a loud roar, and charged faster at his target. Despite how age had taken a bit of a toll on him, the Beast was still a force to be reckoned with! Solta shook his head slightly at his impatient ally, and looked to his wife & said that they would go with her plan. With a warrior's yell of his own, he charged at Horruk alongside Beast!
Lisa readied and loaded her crossbow, looking to Alice and stating, "Well, time to put both brawn and brain to the test! So come on Alice, time to get to work!". Her blonde-gray haired friend nodded, taking another big sip from her bottle… and from her left hand rose a circular, light gray shield that had the head of Gorosaurus on it that was made out of silver! It seemed that the mature beauty had taken a liking to the monster she had read about during her stay in the Toho universe. Mrs. Runzi was a bit puzzled by the image since she had never seen the monster before, but shrugged and went off to back-up her husband and Beast! Alice followed her as best she could, the shield light in her hand per her wishing thought.
Horruk stood its ground as it saw the furry creature coming towards it, claws and teeth bared. A little behind it was a human male wielding a strong-looking axe. But in its view, it would look like a mere toothpick. The monster of stone groaned loudly and brought down one of its swords at Beast, showing that while it was a bit slow when raising the weapon up, it was quick at bringing it down! The husband of Belle saw the large stone sword coming down his way, and with much agility and speed that he could muster, dove out of the way! Solta did the same, still running towards his enemy while his ally tried to regain his bearings. Horruk bellowed when he saw Solta approaching it, and was about to raise its right foot to stomp down on him… when a flaming arrow shot out of nowhere and struck it right between the eyes! The behemoth groaned in pain, as it stumbled around a little clutching its face with its left hand.
Lisa had managed to get an excellent shot, and was preparing another arrow when she saw her husband hacking away at the legs of Horruk. Sparks flew and the young magical warrior was giving it his all… but it only seemed to deliver superficial damage at best! The axe's edges were thankfully not chipped or damaged that much, but the stone right leg was indeed extremely dense. Beast ran to the left leg and started to slash away, but even his own strong claws didn't penetrate that much into the appendage! Alice saw this and thought, 'That transformed Léandre… his claws are thick and strong, yet they leave only minimal scratch marks on the leg?! This foe is tough… and it seems it does have regeneration. I see the cracks that were on its face are almost fully repaired after that hit it took. So… what can we do?'.
Horruk managed to get its senses and sight back, and looked down to see the small ants attacking it. The giant groaned loudly once more, and this time sharp spikes shot out from its body all over! Solta and Beast had to do some quick back-peddling away from their quarry, least they get skewered like fish on a spear. Once the soldier of stone saw that the small ones had backed off, he let out a grunt of sort and the spikes retracted back inside of its body. The behemoth used both swords this time, stabbing into the ground and creating a strong shockwave tremor that knocked the company off of their feet! Solta and Beast were closest to the epicenter, so they got knocked clean off & flew through the air about five feet or so from Horruk. The captain of Cosmina groaned/roared loudly as it pulled its swords out from the ground, ready to strike again.
Solta exclaimed, "Okay, time to get serious! Water, flow through my blades!". His weapon started to glow a rich royal blue color, and the edges were now covered in a thin but highly pressurized water aura. He ran towards Horruk, and brought his axe down to bear on its leg! The element-enhanced weapon managed to do some decent damage to it, creating a modest crack mark on the dense stone body. Beast leapt in quickly after the strike, pounding away at the monster with all his beastly fury! He did manage to widen and deepen the cut, if only slightly. Horruk did not like this, and swung its left sword out at them like a golf club!
Alice ran over to them and leapt at the incoming massive stone blade, her shield up and raised. The men, plus Lisa, were shell-shocked at seeing such a display of bravery/recklessness from their friend! The stone impacted against the shield… but an energy burst of some kind escaped from the object upon impact, causing a shockwave to be formed & causing the sword to be cracked in half! Alice flew through the air, and would have kept on sailing had not Solta leapt up and caught her. The sheer momentum caused him to stumble and fall down a ways, but luckily his body cushioned Alice's fall. Beast had managed to duck under in time, being blown by the shockwave but not as bad as before.
Lisa ran to the group, Solta gently bringing Alice to a sitting position and the couple checking to see if she was alright. Mrs. Runzi exclaimed, "What in Heaven's name happened?! What did that shield do?!". Little did they now that the shield had the rebounding power/ability of Gorosaurus himself! It was able to utilize the powerful Kangaroo Kick of the Toho monster, rebounding the impact that came to the shield but at twice the power! So it was no wonder that the stone sword got cracked in half, and Alice flying through the air when the shockwave hit.
Alice moaned softly and managed to come to, looking to a concerned Solta, Lisa and Beast. She asked, "D-Did I manage to help out…?".
Solta chuckled softly and answered, "You did more than that, my dear lady. You managed to cause a huge crack in that stone sword! And thanks you for helping me and my furry friend here.". Alice smiled, and was helped back to a standing position by Lisa.
Beast growled, "We have may knocked it off balance for now, but now what? We don't have the strength to even make a dent in it!".
Mrs. Runzi was now thinking hard and fast, her brain working fast that would make most strategic person proud. After some moments, she came up with an idea! She gathered her group together, saying to that it was to be quick due to their foe already regenerating his sword. She whispered, "Look, I believe I have an idea! I saw that a concentrated attack actually did some damage to that thing, so… why not attack simultaneously with multiple attacks at once?".
Beast got a puzzled look on his face and confessed, "Ummm… I do not follow, ma'am.".
Solta stated, "I do. What my wife means is that we attack quickly and effectively, like water would against a rock! We come in and attack in teams, each delivering a blow before being replaced by another that keeps the attack going as it were.".
Alice exclaimed, "Oh! Now I get it! If we all focus our attacks in one spot, and deliver powerful blows quickly and in succession, we might get through its stone body!".
Lisa smiled at her beau and Alice, stating, "Correct! I'll attack with multiple Lighting Arrows, and Solta comes in with his axe in that Water-form. Beast comes in quickly after him with his claws, and after that… Alice delivers the final blow with that shield of hers! With the power we just saw there, it might be enough to create a hole into that thing's chest! And by attacking in perfect teamwork and sync, we might also prevent the regeneration process on its spot.". The entire company looked at Lisa, Solta feeling a deep swelling of love and pride for his beloved's plan.
He exclaimed, "That… that just might work! Oh my dear, you are a genius!". He went to her and have her a strong hug and kiss, Lisa blushing a bit from the affection and teasingly saying that he didn't marry her just for her looks.
Beast looked up to see that Horruk was just about finished in repairing his weapon and said, "We better put this action into play now. The monster is about to attack again!". The group looked up from their huddle, and indeed their foe was ready to rumble again. Lisa told them to get in formation, rushing to be in front of Horruk as she readied her weapon. Solta joined behind her, followed by Beast and Alice.
Said rock giant had just finished repairing its weapon back to full strength, and looked to find its targets lining up in front of him. The female with the strange weapon raised the weapon to its face, wondering briefly what she was up to. Suddenly, the object glowed with blue lighting and four consecutive bolts were fired at its chest! The impact was impressive to say the least, the explosions making it stagger a little and groan in pain.
Lisa grinned as her electrified arrows made direct contact, the projectiles doing their work as they exploded upon contact with her target! The smoke cleared after the last arrow impacted, and she could see a black mark on Horruk's chest, and a small crack forming as well. She looked behind her and exclaimed, "Solta, go for it!". Her husband rushed from behind her, his axe active with the Water-element and brought up in attack position. He summoned a great deal of magic into his legs, propelling him upward towards the minion of Cosmina's chest area. He let out a war cry as he made it to the black mark, and swung with all his might & fury! The combined water pressure and sheer power from the swing struck true, expanding the crack and damaging Horruk more! The captain groaned loudly from pain, and slowly went to one knee. Solta fell back down to the ground, using the momentum to roll away from his foe.
He looked to Beast and exclaimed, "Go! Keep up the pressure!". He was slowly getting up, the strain from using much magic on his legs to make the incredible leap showing. Lisa ran over quickly and aided her other half, getting him away from the large stone behemoth. Meanwhile, the transformed Léandre rushed as quickly as he could to his adversary, claws ready to slash and tear into the crack!
The Beast used his legs to leap onto the knee of Horruk, using it as a springboard of sort as he turned and leapt at the expanding crack of the captain. He roared loudly before starting to wail on the weakened chest area, his claws slamming down hard and strong at the spot! Horruk groaned loudly from the pain it was now feeling, the attacks coming quickly that it was unable to utilize the regeneration process. It tried to swipe the annoying insect off, but four explosive bolts hit it in the head and distracted it. Lisa was making sure that the evil creation would not smack her friend off, knowing that he needed just a little bit more time in order to weaken the marked spot.
After a few minutes, Beast stopped his attack and saw that the crack had widened indeed and was on the verge of being exposed. In fact, he spotted a glimmer of gold and realized that they were almost through! He leapt off of Horruk and exclaimed, "Alice! Finish it! Quickly!". He waited at the base of the monster, and for a good reason.
Alice gulped, a bit nervous about all of this. But, she swallowed her fear and gathered up her courage. She whispered, "Well… here it goes! Please God let me be able to do this!". After sending the small prayer, she ran as fast as she could towards where Beast was at. The mature Englishwoman had her shield up, which was glowing in a faint silver aura. Horruk saw this from the corner of his eye, which had been repaired after Lisa's attack, and wondering what was going on with these puny ants. Once Alice was close to Beast, the furry royal one held his claws together in a spring-board position. He was going to catapult his friend up to where the weakened chest area was at! Alice made a literal leap of faith towards her companion, landing on his clawed hands and being sent up high to the captain's chest!
The visitor to Wonderland was trying to keeping it together as best as could, seeing her target coming up fast. She held her shield up and muttered, "Lord, please… let me strike be strong enough! HIYAH!". With a cry, she smashed herself & her shield into the weakened spot! The object glowed with silver energy & power before letting loose a powerful shockwave upon impact! The blow was strong, causing chunks of gray stone material to be scattered off everywhere as Horruk groaned loudly in pain… and from the smoke and debris was a glitter of golden light!
Beast went to where Alice was falling after being catapulted away from the monster by the impact shockwave. He timed it right, catching her as she fell and running back to the others. He held the woman protectively and exclaimed, "GO, GO! ONE OF YOU FINISH IT OFF BEFORE IT CAN REGENERATE!".
Solta looked to his better half, who nodded and encouraged him to finish the job. He nodded, and ran once again to his quarry. His legs were burning now, feeling as he had just ran a marathon… but he was determined to end this! He exclaimed, "Time to meet your end, monster! I'll finish this now!". Once he was at a certain spot, he leapt up high once more using magic to strengthen his leg muscles even though they were already overworked as is. The magical warrior/weapon-maker from Razorwood yelled loudly as he switched his weapon from Water to Earth-form, a rich brown aura surrounding the blades. Once he made it to the spot, he saw the large Heart Stone that was glittering like the sun! Normally, many would think twice in destroying such a rare and beautiful object…
But Solta was not like most men, and brought his axe down to bear on the source of life for Horruk! The weapon, with the raw power of the earth itself, sliced through the stone in two! Said object flashed in a golden light, the magic within it actually overloading and exploding in a shower of golden shrapnel! Solta managed to cover his face in time, the shards of rock slicing into him but thankfully none hit his face nor got embedded into his skin.
Horruk groaned loudly as it felt its life ebbing away quickly! With one final motion, he raised one of his swords to the sky and let out a final groan before becoming still. Its eyes soon went out, and its entire body crumbled entirely into rubble. Solta landed on the ground, forcing his overexerted legs to move away from the crumbling captain. Lisa went over to help him once more, and the two plus Beast and Alice looked to see their enemy now completely gone.
They had won against Horruk!
Solta let out a weak cheer, his legs burning so much from overuse. He looked to his beloved wife and stated, "Heh… not bad teamwork in bringing that fool down, right my precious one?". Lisa smiled and gave her love a quick kiss on the lips, while quick it was full of love and devotion. The kind that most men would kill to have from a woman that was rare like her.
Beast and Alice went to their companions, but before anything was said… coming their way was Cinderella and Asce Charming, followed by Anna and Kristoff! The couples had witnessed their friend's victory over the towering monster of stone, and were now rushing over to aid them. Cinderella spoke to Solta, "Here, let me help you. I can heal your legs, but it will take some time.". He nodded, Lisa setting him on the ground gently while the wife of Asce summoned up some holy healing energy from her hands to get to work.
The group saw that all around them now were various enemies, Shadow Solider and Rock Rook very angry at seeing their commander defeated by such lowly ones. Asce took out his sword, Anna revealed some ice gauntlets that her sister made for her, and Kristoff brought out a large ice axe pick that he had been using. Beast also got ready, tired but not willing to go down without a fight! Alice was put in with Solta, as Lisa stood up to join her comrades. They formed a protective ring around Solta, Cinderella and Alice as the hordes started to move in on them.
Anna got a determined face on and stated loudly, "Okay, you rejects from a nightmare… come and get some!".
~Magric/Barbara/Azad/Elsa/Regina vs Crazeon~
While the others had been dealing with the stone captain, Magric Korastor & his team were dealing with the shadow captain known as Crazeon. The company had rushed towards the large, towering enhanced Shadow Solider when they got a real good look at it up close. The crazy-looking eagle beast was flapping its skeletal wings greatly, kicking up a good amount of dust as it screeched loudly for all to hear! The underlings all cowered and gave their captain room as they backed away from it, the creature glaring at the small opponents in front of it.
Azad spoke, "I have to give this to Cosmina. She sure can create some nightmarish beings!". The rest agreed with him, as their foe seemed to be a few eggs short of a dozen… but having a ferocity that made it even more dangerous and unpredictable.
Barbara Korastor inquired, "Any ideas on how we approach this thing? Those clawed talons and hands of it are no joke, and I'm betting those muscles aren't just for show either!".
Regina suggested, "Let's try to attack from different sides first! To test it and see what we can learn!". The Spanish-born beauty had been given a weapon by one of the arch-angels earlier. It was a spear that looked ordinary… but that was where one would be mistaken. The weapon was made so that no amount of physical force could break it, and the metal spear tip was bathed in holy energy that would deliver some serious damage to those with evil poison in their hearts. The spear could also transform, the tip part could be changed to make something else! Like a trident, a scythe, etc.! Anything that would suit the wielder's fancy!
Elsa replied, "That sounds like a good plan as any. Let's see what we can learn, and make a real attack plan from there.". The Ice Queen was ready to rock, her powers surging the entire time when battle had started & was really holding it together! Utilizing her ice gifts at max potential, but without wasting it or accidentally freezing/hurting her allies. Her control over her abilities was truly amazing.
Magric said, "Agreed. Everyone, take a position and do what you can! Let's go!". The group soon scattered, forming a semi-circle of sort in front of the crazed behemoth that looked at its prey with mad eyes… wondering on which would be a suitable meal for his stomach.
Barbara exclaimed, "I'll start things off! HERE I COME, BIRD BRAIN!". The brave woman charged at Crazeon, who screeched and dived down at her. Barbara brought her rapier to bear, and dove to the left to avoid the sharp beak of her foe. Crazeon screeched as it made a quick U-turn, showing to all that its reflexes were indeed swift. The large bird brought its right fist down at her, Barbara dodging again but staggering slightly due to the impact shockwave. She attacked its fist with rapid thrusts techniques, ice forming on the large knuckles of her foe. Crazeon screeched loudly, retracting its fist and taking back to the air.
The wife of Magric softly spoke, "Okay… apparently it hates ice. So that is something… uh oh!". She said the last one slightly out loud when the beast's talon-clawed hands glowed with a rich black-purple coloring, and slashed wildly at its target! It had utilized its Void Cutter technique, a move that let it focus the Ebony Eraser move into its clawed talons rather than being shot out from the mouth like its regular compatriots did. Barbara had to run and use some fancy maneuvering to dodge the attacks, while she was swift and agile, she did not have training to use flip moves and the like. She escaped the technique, but just barely.
Azad and Elsa ran to her to make sure she was okay, the woman replying that she was but still a bit shaken from the attack. The duo saw that the crescent-shaped energy slash attacks had left sizeable gouges into the icy earth, showing that its technique could cut DEEP. Elsa looked to her significant other and asked, "Ready to try our luck against it?". He replied that he was more than ready, and the two charged towards the hovering creation.
Crazeon made a quick squawking sound of sort, and landed on the ground. It figured that these two small insects were weak, and therefore decided to kill them with it on the soil. However, it was surprised when Azad took out his family scimitar and the blade came alive with flames! Crazeon screeched in surprise and threw a left thrust kick at its foe, but the nimble co-ruler of Arendelle used some impressive flips to avoid the talon foot. It landed on the scale-covered appendage, running swiftly to the part of the leg that was flesh and slashed quickly at it with his flaming sword. The large bird cried out in pain, soon kicking its leg out more to the insect that dared harm it off.
Azad flew through the air after getting shaken off, but was saved when Elsa caught him in mid-air! She was flying, utilizing her wind and ice power the same way she did back in the Toho universe! The Arabian man thanked his better half, who smiled warmly at him before turning her focus on the enemy. She set Azad down and stated, "You keep attacking from the ground, I'll circle around him from the air!". He nodded, taking up his family's weapon and charging back in.
Elsa cracked her knuckles as she glared at Crazeon, the shadow bird minion glaring right back and screeching at her. She stated, "Okay ugly, you tried to hurt my man… you're going to get it now!". The Ice Queen started to fly all around and over Crazeon like a hornet, letting loose bolts of ice that struck the creature hard. The eagle-headed minion shrieked angrily as it did not like concentrated cold blasts, and swung its arms and skeletal wings at Elsa! Luckily, she was able to evade the blows but just barely. Crazeon showed that his reflexes in using his fists and wings were indeed sharp and swift, but it showed a great dislike for ice.
Azad continued his assault on the ground, using his flaming swords at vulnerable spots while using his agility & quickness to evade any of Crazeon's blind attempts to crush or swat him away. The king and queen of Arendelle were showing they had impressive teamwork, keeping the large shadow being guessing and getting it even madder! After a few minutes of fighting, Cosmina's captain had enough. Elsa had started to freeze the skeletal left wing with her power, when she noticed that black energy was starting to course through the black appendages. She was curious only for a moment, when she realized on what was going to happen. She exclaimed, "Oh no… gotta get clear!".
Her instincts proved true, as Crazeon broke the ice surrounding its wing and flapped both of them hard that unleashed a torrent of purple wind! It was the technique Vapor Wind, gusts of black energy in wind form that would damage any it touched! It was not an offensive, but more of defensive maneuver as the damage it actually did to its target was minimal at best. The real reason for the technique was to buffer away projectiles, and also force the enemy to back off. Azad found that out the hard way as he was too close to his target, and was sent flying back hard! Elsa was wise in moving away when she did, getting caught in only the gusts of wind and experiencing some minor turbulence.
Magric, Barbara & Regina went over to where Azad was thrown at and Regina inquired, "Are you okay? That looked really bad…".
He answered, "I'm okay… the first time though the wind ever knocked out of me before. Heh... sorry, just had to say it. But seriously… that is one bad bird.". They all agreed with him on that, and Regina decided to try her luck. She told her friend to rest and recover, while she helped Elsa with it. Azad agreed, rising up slowly with his scimitar still in hand. The Spanish-born beauty went to take on Crazeon while Barbara stayed to look after the young man. Magric went to back up Regina, knowing that she could use it.
Elsa managed to right herself up in mid-air, seeing Crazeon now streaking towards her after unleashing his defensive move. She looked down to see Azad being tended to by Mrs. Korastor, which gave some small relief to her. However, her focus went back to the enemy that was flying fast and furious towards her! The Snow Queen actually charged right for it, cupping her hands and charging a concentrated orb of ice energy in them! Crazeon screeched to the sky above as he flew towards his target, hefting its right fist and taking aim at the small, blue-white target. Elsa muttered, "Okay, you evil creation… let's see you handle a blizzard in a ball!".
Crazeon let loose a shriek before it sent its clawed fist at Elsa, but what surprised her was that from said fist was a black column of energy! It was using the Ebony Eraser in fist-form! The Ice Queen was caught by surprise, but quickly retaliated with her Blizzard Sphere technique! Both projectiles collided, and a battle of supremacy started to take place! If anyone from the Toho universe saw this display, they would have thought it was a something out the anime Dragonball Z! Elsa and Crazeon willed their attacks more, pouring more power into each of them! After a few moments, the strain started to show on Elsa as she sweated pretty much and was losing both energy and focus. Crazeon had a vast energy supply thanks to Cosmina's enhancements. It looked like it was going to win the stalemate…
But just before it could push on through, a powerful shockwave filled the air and knocked both of them out of the sky! It was Fire Rodan using its Sonicboom Blast on the Firebird in the distance, the powerful sound technique reaching all the way to where they were at!
Elsa tumbled down to the ground, too drained to call forth her icy gift to cushion her fall. Luckily for her, Magric did so as he leapt and caught her in mid-air! It was a bit difficult due to timing and such, but he managed to save her from going SPLAT on the ground. He moved back some feet from his position, just in time as Crazeon landed back to the ground with a loud BOOM.
The Snow Queen looked to her rescuer and said, "Thanks for the catch… I was a bit tired from using all of that energy that I didn't get a chance to summon up some wind to cushion me.". Magric replied that it was no problem, and that he was glad to help. He gently set Elsa back down on her feet, than both saw the shadow captain rising back up slowly.
Crazeon was rose up, though it was a bit slow due to being knocked from the air in such a fashion and landing hard on the icy ground. He looked around, and soon spotted his quarry who had been saved by the other insect. The creation of Cosmina screeched softly, its nostrils flaring and its wings flaming though it did not create gusts like last time. Due to falling from such a height and expending a lot of energy, Crazeon was grounded at least for now. It stalked towards the duo, when something slashed at it the back of its taloned feet! It turned and looked down to see that it was Regina, her spear glowing with the tip changed into a large curved blade.
Regina had been traveling around the known countries for some time, learning about a lot of cultures, peoples and more. And various weapons that also were held in certain parts of the world, including those in China. What she had turned her spear into was a naginata, a special kind of bladed staff weapon!
The brave young lady smirked when she saw that she got Crazeon's attention. She exclaimed, "Come on, you reject of an eagle! Try and take me on!". The monster turned and screeched at its new target that dared strike it, and started to punch and slash like crazy at its prey! Regina started to dodge, duck and weave to evade the strikes. She countered each blow by slashing at the hands or knuckles whenever the opportunity presented itself, in a few moments, Crazeon's entire fists were nicked and cut with black blood oozing through its injuries.
Magric looked to Elsa, and to his right to see Azad and Barbara coming to them. When they were all gathered, he stated, "I believe I have a true plan to defeat that overgrown turkey. But it will require teamwork and cooperation on all of our parts. Are you all ready for it?". The trio agreed, and it is than that Mr. Korastor told them of his plan.
Meanwhile, Regina was getting tired quickly as she kept up the pace to evade & counter her foe. Crazeon sensed that its quarry was now exhausted, too tired to put up a fight now. It looked at its fists, covered with nicks & cuts plus flowing with thick black blood. It glared down hard at its prey, than opened its beak… intending to bite Regina in half! The beautiful fighter could not move much, very tired from her efforts. Crazeon prepared to lower its head to bite… but something struck it from behind! It screeched once again in pain, and turned to see Azad and Magric now attacking him!
The co-king of Arendelle had used his sword to send a strong tongue of fire at Crazeon's back, striking dead center to deliver damage & get his attention. Once they got its focus, the duo attacked with swift and precise moves! They circled around him, always on the move and delivering critical cuts to its legs! While Azad was hacking away with his flaming weapon, Magric was using his shields on his arms as a kind of cutter. He mentally commanded both circular shields to gain a very sharp edge, and was now swinging his arms in a dance-like pattern while slicing deep into the black legs! The shields looked similar to a bladed hat that was often worn by a video game character named Kung Lao from a series called Mortal Kombat.
Crazeon screeched in pain from the assault, and would have retaliated until it felt a blast of freezing energy hit its back and wings! Elsa was doing her part in the air, one hand shooting beams of ice at the creation… while her other hand held aloft Barbara as she weaved through the wings with her rapier striking at the appendages!
Apparently, Magric's plan was two-fold. Azad and himself would attack from below at the legs with their techniques, while Elsa and Barbara would engage from above. The Ice Queen and his wife would try to freeze the wings solid, hopefully that they could ground Crazeon while delivering damage. So far, the plan seemed to work as now the mad captain was getting more incensed from the attacks and trying to strike at any of the targets blindly. The small but nimble fighters evaded each strike, not doing exaggerated moves to escape from the kicks or slash/punch attacks, but just enough to not get hit & conserve energy to continue the pace.
Regina soon joined into the fray, helping Azad and Magric out with her weapon. After five minutes of intense fighting… Elsa and Regina managed to break off the wings of the enemy! With a mighty shout, the Ice Queen shattered the right wing while Regina slashed at the very base of the left one that cut off completely!
Crazeon was now beyond all madness, screeching from intense pain as the cold was doing its work on its back and the slashing/flaming attacks from below! It flailed about to get at any of its quarry, but it was uncoordinated and soon he toppled down to the ground. Magric and Elsa saw that now was an opportunity to finish it, and quickly rushed to where the head was at. When they got to it, they saw the shadow being looking tired but the madness still there. Its eyes were running about wildly, with no kind of focus or sanity left while its beak was open and its tongue lolled out. The magic crafter from Razorwood & the Snow Queen held no pity, for they saw that this was truly a wild beast instead of a captain.
Magric stated, "Time to end this. Your time has come, and soon your mistress will also fall. Elsa… do it please.". She nodded, and used her powers to freeze the head completely! The beast let out a final, weak squawk as its head was encased in ice. It was frozen to the sub-atomic level, and that is when the whole body soon exploded in a brilliant flash of black dust! Only the head remained, perfectly frozen… until Magric smashed it to ice cubes by bringing down his left shield hard on it!
The company had won!
Azad went to embrace his wife, Barbara coming to hold her husband. Regina went to them, the entire group just glad that they had managed to defeat the shadow captain. Magric stated, "Heh, not too shabby I would say. I think though that I may need to train a bit more in the future.". The others chuckled, but soon saw that they were surrounded by various Shadow Soldiers and Rock Rooks that did not look very pleased at all in seeing their commander defeated. The five prepared to fight again, but they were all very tired and low on energy. However, help came in the form of a silver bolt of magical energy that struck several of the soldiers, sending them flying away!
The group looked to their left to see Ariel, Melody, Oliver/Olujimi and Eric rushing towards them! The Charming and Oxen family, along with Eric's faithful companion Max, rushed over to aid them! Ariel was holding the trident Silverflash, her daughter also having a copy of it in her hands. Eric held a fishing spear weapon, the kind he used on Ursula long ago when she kidnapped Ariel. Oliver held in his hand a unique blade, one called an akrafena. It's also known as an Ashanti sword, a curved blade that was used in many parts of Africa. The king of the Sennen land had it crafted some years ago, the metal blade having the insignia of the trident carved in… along with the head of Godzilla under it.
Melody went to her friends and asked, "Are you guys alright? You all look winded after taking on that huge bird thing!". Azad replied that they were alright, but tired from the fighting. Max looked at the group and howled loudly, his whole body glowing a dull white color. Eric told the five to pet Max, and when they did… they started to feel their energy returning to them! Max was a Supporter here, now having the ability to re-energize whoever touched him after his howls. Vigor and strength returned to them, though the injuries they sustained in the fight did not heal. But they would deal with that later.
While their comrades were being looked to by Max, Ariel and the others looked to the hordes now back on their feet and bearing down on them. The former mermaid got a determined look on her face and exclaimed, "You're going to feel the ocean's fury soon! Get ready!".
~At the rear of Cosmina's forces~
The sorceress was stunned in a deep way upon seeing her two captain's fall to her enemies, a deep feeling of rage starting to flow from her body. She snarled and muttered, "How… How can this be?! I have an army that outnumbers these pathetic fools… I have the Amulet of Avalor at my command… I enhanced my forces with it… and I brought my beautiful creations to life! So… HOW IS IT THAT I COULD BE LOSING TO THE LIKES OF THEM?!". The magic-user soon saw the Toho monsters in the distance coming towards the battlefield, signaling to her that her own kaiju creations had failed.
She was losing her cool as she rose from her throne, looking for anything to vent her rage on! She saw Sofia continuing on towards her, the brave princess pushing on through the hordes with her mother and father beside her! The black-hearted magic user let out a primal scream of rage and fury, shooting an extremely powerful black stream of magic at the young one! The beam was so powerful, it obliterated anything that was close to it, even her own forces!
Sofia saw this, and held her shield up in defense. However, Miranda came to her aid when she and Roland got near their daughter. She exclaimed, "Sofia, hold on! I got this!". She summoned up a white & blue pod that encased the trio, and took the hit! Cosmina snarled as she poured more power into her attack, the pod holding up… but just barely. It was straining very much against the concentrated beam of evil magical energy. Sofia clutched tight to her parents, hoping that the pod shield would hold up a little longer.
Cosmina's attack would have gotten through… but a prism-colored light beam struck in the middle of the technique, causing it to falter and disperse! The sorceress stumbled slightly from the backlash, and looked to see on what did that. She soon spotted Jet Jaguar, who had used his Handclap technique to send a projectile of sound and light to disrupt the attack. James was beside his ally, both looking worried at the pod. Said object was singed quite badly, but thankfully still intact. The pod soon dispersed, and emerging was the royal family, safe and sound. James grinned and waved to his parents and Sofia, the trio waving back & thanking Jet for the assistance.
Sofia soon turned her attention to Cosmina and exclaimed, "You're going to be defeated by us soon, Cosmina! Here we come!". The trio resumed their trek towards her, James and Jet Jaguar soon following suit.
The beautiful but deadly & evil sorceress felt something creeping into her being, one that she had not felt in over a century… fear. Fear that she would be defeated, and that the consequences of losing would be too great for her to bear. The fear was quashed down ruthlessly, but it was still there. Sensing that she needed an advantage, she looked around to see what she could work with. The only thing she spotted was… the cave entrance back into the mountain! She thought, 'Yes! I will lure them into it, and pick them off when the time is right for me! Hehehe…'.
Cosmina exclaimed to her foes, "Try and take me alive, fools! Hahahahaha!". With a crazed look in her eyes, she took off back into the mountain! Sofia and her family followed after her, intent to stop the sorceress and end the battle once and for all!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! Whew… again, this chapter surprises me on how long I made it to be.
Again, I want to give praise and thanks to God. Thank you Lord for once again aiding me, and really helping me out with this chapter! It was long and difficult to write, but it was also enjoyable as well. So thank you Jesus for the incredible gift of imagination you gave me, and also for the wonderful people who have helped me out on in through their reviews and PM's.
I really hope that I pleased any of you who wanted to see certain characters in action. With so MANY Disney and OC characters into the fray, there was only so much I could do for just one chapter. In addition, hoped you also enjoyed the little Easter Eggs I put in here so to speak. Also, I hope that my Tia Pam is reading this and enjoyed it!
The final showdown will commence in the next chapter! Sofia and her family vs. Cosmina, in a battle that I hope pleases true-school Disney and Toho fans alike! Get ready for thrills, chills and action that I got from watching the classic and cool 80s and 90s movies! I really like the classic, original series that came out while I was growing up. The remakes and such that are coming out so far… not for me. That said, I really hope that Disney and Toho find out about my series and seriously consider making it either into a movie, TV, or even comic series.
If any of you can do anything to help me out, I would really appreciate it.
Now for the questions:
After hearing about the toxin that is in the bite of the Shadow Soldiers, what kind of preparations would you make to make sure that it would not penetrate through? And which Disney character would you want by your side as either a Supporter or Healer?
If you could have Genie or Eden change you into a mini-version of a Toho monster to help out in the battle, which kaiju would you choose and why?
If you were with Sebastian and Olaf, what kind of advice would you give & show to the living snowman on how to really attack an enemy?
If you were on the team that fought against Horruk, what kind of battle plan would you make with said team?
If you were on the team that fought against Crazeon, what kind of battle plan would you make with the team?
What would you tell Cosmina after her little rant?
And finally… would you join Sofia and her family in chasing Cosmina into the mountain?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!)
