Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination

By: DJ Rodriguez

(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you doing? I hope you are all well. Glad to see that some of you liked the battle between Sofia and Cosmina! Believe me, it was very difficult to come up with. Many scenarios came into my head, but I soon realized I had copied some of them from famous games like The Legend of Zelda and others. I didn't want to do that, so I tried to be original as I could. Just glad you did enjoy the fight.

Before anything else gets underway, want to thank and praise God for once again helping me out. Thank you Lord for aiding me, not just with writing the chapter but for many other things as well! Thank you for the readers and reviewers who have taken the time to read & enjoy my stories, and thank you for making all of the Monsters and Magic series possible! Jesus Christ, thank you!

I believe that from this point on, I will abstain from seeing remake movies. After seeing the new Power Rangers movie, while decent it lacked the quality, charm and goodness like the original series had. The kind I watched as a kid. So from this point on, remakes I will not see. I'll stick to the tried and true classics!

Okay... now, need to focus and back to business! In this chapter, you will see the fate of both Cosmina & and the Amulet of Avalor. Also, you will see the celestial and bonded friends of Sofia return to their homes… and hopefully see something that touches your hearts in the true, classic and real way of Disney that I love so much growing up as a kid!

Now, to thank the ones that honored me & this mini-novel with their reviews! Ahem…

To DRAGONDAVE45: Thanks for the review, my friend! I promise, your OC characters will have a good ending here!

To Kearitona Sjachraelgil: Thank you once again for your passionate review! I really love it when you do get involved with the characters. Yes, the mountain was a bit of a loss but it was well worth the price for Godzilla to aid Sofia in more ways than one!

To Japan Boy: Heh, good to see another review from you, old friend! Always good to see that the one who inspired me to write my Disney/Toho crossover series like my chapters! More is to come, so stay tuned! And everyone, wish my friend here luck in writing more of the Disney/Toho series that I have come to really like myself!

To GODZILLA1996: Thank you for the shout-out, my friend! I'm glad you liked it!

To LORD DESTRYUK: Thanks for the scenario and review. I don't think much of it as cliché, as most people are thinking nowadays of most things. I see something classic, true and worth doing! In any case, my two other stories… at the moment, they are toss-ups but I will see what I can do with them when the time comes. And your OC creations are always welcome in them, so long as you give me permission to use them of course.

To Mickol93: Thank you for the kind words, my friend. I'm just a good writer who has had a lot of help from the Lord. It's He who deserves much of the credit. And also reviewers such as yourself who like my stories. I will look into it, as many have wanted me to do more of this particular series.

To bluemarvel0: Thanks for the kind words, my friend. My dad has been one of the many people who has helped and guided me throughout all of my life. He is one cool dad, and also one strong man of Christ! I felt that it was time to put him in one of my stories, and this seemed to be the best way.

And finally to Darkness Rissing: Thank you so much for the review! Like I often said to many, reviews from you are worth waiting for! Like I stated earlier, writing the battle scene was difficult and I really had to think hard to see on what I liked & what would work. I'm just glad you reviewed and enjoyed the chapter.

I do have one personal questions before we start this chapter. Ahem… if my novels were made into movies, the classic way that Disney and Toho made their movies in the 1990's, would you see them? Like I stated earlier, I'm into the true & classic ways of when I was growing up. And I wouldn't want it any other way!

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!)

Salvation and Good-byes

The entire Army of Light were celebrating and rejoicing down near the base of the Carpathian Mountains, many celestial and mortals rejoicing at the sweet truth that their Commander, Sofia the First had won against Cosmina! The large titan kaiju from the other universe were roaring/screeching/squeaking in victory as well! Godzilla merely held his head straight and true like a king, going towards the edge of the army. He looked down at his new bonded who was conversing with her family, very proud of Sofia that she had fought until the very end against her enemy. In his eyes, she was both royalty & warrior… somewhat like him.

Jet Jaguar was still in his human-sized form, inside the King of the Monster's palm with Sofia & her family. Meanwhile, said princess was telling Amber on what happened with her battle against Cosmina. Miranda, James and Roland came in when needed to add in to the tale. After what was told to her, Amber hugged her sister again tight. She whispered, "Oh Sofia… it must have been so hard, fighting against the evil witch! I… I honestly don't know what I would do if I saw you fight against her alone.". Even though she often acted a bit spoiled, Amber cared for her sister very much and didn't want any kind of serious harm to come to her.

Sofia returned the hug and replied, "Believe me Amber, it was hard. But… I got a lot of help from everyone here! You, our parents, James, the monsters, everyone from all over the world… I also got help from Jesus himself! He reminded me that I was never alone, and that there was more to me than even I knew. It was thanks to all of you, and Him, that I was able to beat Cosmina.".

Amber smiled and let out a sigh, feeling tired after everything that had just occurred. She stated, "This will be something to write down in our diaries… well, maybe even a history book.".

Miranda smiled at her two daughters and put in, "I will say this. This is one adventure I know I will NEVER forget as long as I live.". Roland hugged his beautiful wife, saying that he would not forget this moment anytime soon. James also said that he was going to remember all of the events that had taken place as well.

Sofia the First was just smiling wide, one that was true and warm as she soaked in the family love she was feeling right now. Just then, a slight tremor occurred and they felt Godzilla lowering his hand down. Jet Jaguar advised with humor in his tone, "Be prepared. We're coming down to the edge of the army, and it seems we might be in for a bit of a welcome.". The royal family thanked him, standing on their feet to make sure they were ready for what was to come.

When the massive saurian lowered his clawed hand and extended the digits out so that the humans & android could walk off of the palm, the entire company was greeted by a HUGE crowd of arch-angels and mortals!

Sofia and her family was soaking up the large cheering that was all for them, having a large warm feeling surge inside their beings that was ten times more full than any kind of party that have ever had back at the castle! The princess was pat on the back, given thumbs up and greeted with kind, warm words from the arch-angels. Men & women, skin colors of many kind, those that hailed from other nations all over the world were giving the Enchancia royal family quite a welcome! Miranda, Roland, James and Amber were taking it all in as best they could. They moved through the throng of heavenly winged warriors, and soon came to their mortal friends.

First to greet them was David and Gwendolyn Howard, the couple looking a bit drained and tired but still good! Mr. Howard bowed to Sofia and stated, "Good to have you back, your Highness! I bet you put one heck of a fight against that Cosmina witch!". Sofia giggled slightly and replied that it was hard, but she was able to defeat her along with her family and friends.

Mrs. Howard put in, "Your Graces, I think after all of this excitement, adventure and danger… a month long vacation is what we ALL need.". Amber actually agreed with her, as did James and Miranda. In their minds, a month's-long vacation was what they wanted the most.

Next up was Pastor Rick Wing, who was exhausted yet had a grin on his face despite that his clothing looked like he got in a fight with some wildcats. The Christian teacher/shepherd spoke, "I got to hand it to you, your Highness Sofia… you are incredible! I believe that the Lord Almighty helped you big time against the evil sorceress." She smiled warmly at that, and replied that He did indeed.

Soon, the whole gang was with her! Solta and Lisa Runzi, Magric and Barbara Korastor, General Jackson Dashboard, General Raven Rissing, and many more came to the princess & her family! Among them was the bonded of the monsters, along with their friends & family members. Their animal partners were also with them, though some looking a bit worse for wear but still kicking. Coming down was the fairies of Pixie Hollow, along with Mama Odie and Radelle who were still on Carpet.

Cinderella, Ariel, Elsa, Anna, Melody, and Tracy went to her and each gave her a big hug. The last one was Melody, who said, "Sofia, we are just so proud of you! You really showed that you are more than just a princess by title. But one by heart, soul and spirit!".

Sofia blushed from the praise and answered, "Thank you… but believe me, I couldn't have done this without all of you! Each of you helped me out in a big way! I just wish I could show you all what happened instead of simply telling you…". In her view, just merely saying how the fight went was insufficient. It wouldn't do the entire ordeal justice, and would rather show them rather than just tell it.

Genie and Eden came forth, looking like game show hosts with the green-skinned beauty wearing a classy but sexy outfit that made most of the men turn their eyes to her. Fortunately, their lady loves smacked them upside the head to get their senses back in order… though they did whisper to them that they would pay for it later, which made many of the guilty men gulp. Genie exclaimed in a microphone he conjured up, "Well than, little lady! Have we got a prize for you! Tell her what she has won, Eden!".

Eden smirked and shook her head slightly at the antics of her silly half before stating, "Sofia the First, you have won the right to use the all-exclusive Mind Showing Helmet!". Just after speaking those words, a flash of light & magic swirled in her hands and emerging from thin air was a tiara. This one looked like the one Sofia and Amber wore, but this particular one was made of solid gold and had three large silver gemstones in it.

Genie chuckled and explained, "Well… since you are a princess & lady of refined taste, we opted to go with that instead of this.". He brought forth out of thin air with his magic a large football helmet, one that was blue and had Genie's head insignia on it. Sofia was a bit glad now to wear the tiara instead of that heavy & clunky head piece.

The wife of Genie came back in, "Please sit in the chair here, and put on the tiara. After that, just focus on what you want to show us with your mind. It'll play the memories, and show us here on the big screen TV.". She used her magic to conjure up a comfortable-looking chair for Sofia, and behind it was a truly large flat screen TV set that was long and big enough so that all could see it. The mortals were pretty impressed by the magic of the genie, and were wondering what a TV set was though many knew of it due in part of being around the magical couple for a good long while.

Sofia looked to her family, her parents encouraging her to give it a try. James and Amber did the same, giving their sister the confidence she needed. The princess went to the chair, sat down in it and found that it was truly plush and comfortable. Eden put on the tiara, and upon contact the gemstones in the headwear started to glow softly. Genie took out a large universal remote control, pointing it at the TV screen and pushing the On button. It flickered to life, but it was all static for now.

Eden looked to Sofia and stated, "Okay now, just bring up the memory you want to show us and the tiara will do the rest.". The little lady nodded, and started to focus on the events that transpired just some minutes ago. The static on the TV screen quickly vanished, being replaced of a visual on the inside of the mountain where Sofia and her family were once at.

~Thirty minutes later~

The screen was blank now, having been turned off by Genie. The entire company was in awe on what they had just beared witness to. Sofia was a bit drained and exhausted, slumped slightly in her seat after bringing up the memories. Many mortals, celestial beings, heroes and heroines were stunned on what they had seen; the chase to apprehend Cosmina, seeing the coliseum, and most of all… seeing the battle between the princess & the sorceress! Many were shocked when they saw the scene where Sofia was cut off from her family by the powerful shield spell that Cosmina brought up. After that, they came to see the final battle that would determine the fate of the kingdom!

The heroes & heroines, mortal and celestial being alike, saw that Sofia was getting beat good by the sorceress who was merely playing with her. Taking her sweet time in attacking, while the princess had been on the defensive the whole time. It was difficult for the family to see these moments, especially for Sofia, but the brave princess pushed on despite feeling the fear that came when playing that particular memory. When the part came to show that Cosmina was ready to deliver the final blow, everyone gasped… than cheered when Godzilla showed up by punching a large hole through the mountain! Amber had released the breath she had been holding, clutching tight to her mother who held her close and gently.

The audience had been ecstatic to see the saurian, many believing that he would come in and handle the fight himself. But, they were shocked & stunned into silence when they heard the King of the Monster's words to Sofia. That he was telling Sofia to rise up and fight, to defeat Cosmina on her own! When the princess said that she was alone… that was when Godzilla told her otherwise. Now THAT got many of the warriors who assumed that the saurian did not have that kind of wisdom. Seeing the white glow cover Sofia got a small gasp from some of the audience members… but soon all were stunned when they saw the King of Kings himself enter into the arena!

The arch-angels, the mortal warriors, heroes & heroines, and the animal partners all bowed to one knee upon seeing the visage of Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone & Redeemer. Sofia was slightly crying now on her seat, but they were good tears. Tears of happiness, of joy and comfort in a way that could not be fully explained. The entire gathering now saw Jesus encouraging Sofia with his words, and of the princess hugging the Holy One. Tears were now coming forth from many an eye in the audience, seeing something very special and good that should never be taken for granted. Jesus soon faded from view… and that was when all saw Sofia glowing! Not just with the power that was flowing through her body, but with a spirit of determination when she picked up her sword and shield once more!

The screen showed Cosmina losing it now, having been reverted to some sort of crazed woman but many knew that it was natural. Evil beings, and those with evil deep within their hearts, often went mad after seeing the Alpha & Omega in the flesh. And seeing the shield come down, many assumed that her family & Jet Jaguar were going to leap into the fray to help out. Shock was the emotion shown on everyone's face when they heard Miranda, of all people, saying that they would not interfere. That the battle belonged to Sofia alone, but that did not mean that she would be idle. That she would cheer for her, and the android agreed with her. So… the family was now choosing to stay out of the fight, and to cheer Sofia on with all of their hearts!

Phil exclaimed at the screen when it showed the duo getting ready for round two, "Kid, I got only two words of advice for you… ATTACK!". Many soon joined in, and in no time at all, many were cheering for the memory-Sofia as she took the offensive against Cosmina! The real deal was smiling and chuckling at the reactions of the crowd, but continued to show the memory as best she could.

To the onlookers, the fight was truly intense and upon seeing Cosmina focus all of her energy into her last, desperate technique, they were amazed on how much power she was pouring into the orb! Pocahontas peered closely at the sorceress and realized something. She exclaimed, "She's putting her own life force into it! She's mixing that evil magic with her very own life energy!". As a Native American princess, and also a student of sort to Grandmother Willow, she had the power to discern different kinds of energies. Hearing that, those who were versed quite well in magical arts were horrified for pushing one's own life force into something like that was quite dangerous.

Not only would cut short some of the life span of the user, but it would also break down in the mind if it was not strong enough.

The spectators soon saw Sofia about to use her own technique, and now they realized on why they all glowed a brilliant white-blue aura a little while ago. And why the feeling in their hearts was intensified, as they were all connecting with the princess! If they thought that was impressive, the next part had their jaws dropping down to ground. Sofia unleashed the technique that Godzilla had deployed to end his enemies; the Pristine Breath! When the two projectiles collided with another, a great flash came forth that almost blinded them! Luckily for Genie and Eden, they put on sunglasses prior to the scene as if they knew what was going to come.

Mushu exclaimed, "Wow! Kid, I knew you always had something in you! Didn't think it was something like that!". The Chinese guardian dragon was very much surprised, and who can blame them? Sofia had truly grown into her own now, turning from a mere princess… to one that truly had power, heart, soul and spirit! The stalemate between the power of Good and Evil kept on for a few minutes, until Sofia ended it by pushing a bit more of the Holy Spirit into her beam. The platinum-colored beam with golden lightning bolts streaking over it punched right through the sphere of evil, and struck Cosmina true! Many cheered when they saw this, knowing that the Commander/Princess had triumphed over near-impossible odds to defeat her adversary!

The scene than changed with Sofia letting go of her power, almost exhausted & getting mobbed by her family in loving embraces and kind words. It continued on, to see Sofia and her family plus Jet Jaguar in going to the barely-alive Cosmina. Upon seeing the young lady take the corrupted Amulet of Avalor from the evil magic-user, it was Esmeralda's husband Phoebus that spoke, "Now THAT is how you get back your stuff in style!". The part came when Sofia had told the fallen Cosmina of the fate she had chosen, and asked on what her final words were on the matter.

And that was when Cosmina used the last of her energy to send forth the pulse of magic that put the final strain on the integrity of the coliseum and cavern! She was now trying to take them with her! Fortunately for them, Godzilla had reached out and grabbed the group with his clawed hand… and that is when the screen went blank. All now knew exactly on what happened, as they looked to Sofia was respect & admiration as she took off the magical tiara and got off from the seat. The princess sighed slightly, a bit drained from having to relive the memory again but glad at the same time because now all could see on what happened.

Captain Josiah went to the young royal mortal, and actually did a small but respectful bow to her. He spoke, "You have truly grown into an extraordinary princess, Sofia. I can see that the Lord has great plans for you, and I hope you continue to grow under Him.". One by one, many did the same as they all bowed to the Princess Sofia. The young lady blushed, still not quite used to seeing celestial beings bowing to her but feeling warm inside as she had truly earned their respect.

Iago flew in and asked in his usual tone, "Umm, hey! I hate to just cut in this deeply moving show of gratitude and all, but… whatever happened to Cosmina? Think she's still alive?". Now that question got many to thinking, but a majority felt that the sorceress could not have survived such a fall like that.

~Deep underground~

Just as the forces of Good were wondering about her fate, said magic-user was lying amid a pile of rubble deep under the mountain. She was extremely weak, injured and close to Death's door. She was groaning, trying to crawl out from under the rocks but it was no use. She glanced to her right to see that her staff was destroyed, and she could feel time catching up with her. She mumbled softly, "This… This can't… end… like…". Whatever she was going to say died on her lips as in front of her… appeared the spirits of her parents!

Standing in front of Cosmina were her parents Costel & Ilinca Liviu, just as she remembered them when she was a little girl... before she met Maleficent by accident all those years ago. They were now angels, had given their lives to Christ some time ago. Beside them was a young man she did not recognize, with a beautiful young lady by his side. What she did not know was that the man was actually her brother Skender, and the lovely lady by his side was his wife Sorina! Her brother had grown up into a fine man, and had married to his better half years ago. Like their parents, they too gave their hearts & lives to Jesus Christ, and were now angels as well. The duo had passed away about three years ago, living a long & full loving life together. They had passed along their legacy; two sons and one daughter who were now growing up and living still with families of their own.

Ilinca reached out to her misguided daughter and pleaded, "Cosmina… dear Cosmina, please… please come to us. Renounce your evil ways and give your heart to Christ! Please Cosmina…". The angels had come to try and convince their wayward flesh and blood to renounce her evil ways, to give up the darkness that she had become for a long time… before it was too late. The family had been worried about her during their lives, and now were concerned as they saw that their family member was close to death.

Cosmina weakly reached out to them, for a brief moment the little girl that she was before she met Maleficent was there… her eyes giving off tears as she reached to her family. She cried softly, "Mama… Daddy… help me…".

Costel spoke in a gentle tone like he used to when she was little, "Cosmina, please… there is not much time. Please my daughter, please! Say the words… let them come from your heart! Please…".

The sorceress had to use much will and strength, whatever she had left in her, to push down the negative & evil whispers that were trying to climb into her head. She spoke as much as she could, "I… I renounce my evil ways… I give my heart… and soul… to Jesus Christ! I… I acknowledge… that… He is… my Lord… and Savior… He is… the Way… the Life… and the Light…". Those were the final words she spoke, as than the life left her and she died.

Cosmina was now dead.

The family soon saw the spirit of their daughter emerging from the body, looking exactly like she had been just a few seconds ago. However, they saw much dark purple gunk and crust on her. It was what she had been doing for so many years, the evil that was in her heart was now showing for all to see. At first, Cosmina looked at herself than at the body down below. She thought that this was it… that she was dead, and that there would be no redemption for her. However… a light came from the darkness behind the Liviu family! The group turned around, while Cosmina looked up, and the company could see that it was Jesus Christ Himself! The King of Kings walked towards Cosmina, the family letting him part while bowing their heads to the Master.

Cosmina hung her head, not being able to look at him for what had just occurred… and what was on her spirit. She felt like a guilty child standing before her father, and she could not turn to meet his gaze. Jesus looked at her and spoke, "Why do you turn your eyes away from me?".

The former sorceress answered brokenly, "It's because… because… I am not worthy. Look at all of this gunk and mess that is on me!". She was very close to crying, just feeling shame now at showing to Christ on what she had done. She had remembered doing horrible stuff when she was intoxicated by the grip of evil, and it shamed her now on what she done while alive.

Jesus asked, "What mess do you speak of? Look at yourself and see.". Cosmina was confused, than looked back down at herself… and saw that she was clean! Everything was gone from her! The crud and poison that had been on her being for so long was gone! She was wearing a simple but clean white robe and garments! And she now started to feel lighter, more alive… more free. She was so gobsmacked on what happened, for she didn't see anything that have this change occur. Usually, there would be a flash of light or some kind of sound to signify a change like with magic.

But this was no mere trickery or magic… it was just the simple but powerful authority granted to Jesus by His Father.

Cosmina looked at the Teacher, who smiled and spread his arms out like a parent would to their child. She started to cry, but this time it was tears of relief and joy as she flung herself to him and hugged him tightly while sobbing. The Liviu family were all sporting smiles and tears themselves, glad that they had managed to convince their own to come back to the light! The alternative on if she did not speak the words from her heart… it sent shivers up their very spirits and banished them.

Jesus allowed the hug to continue for a few more moments, than he gently released the cleansed woman. She looked more beautiful than ever before, the youthful features she had while alive paling in comparison to her new, cleansed form! She was alluring yes, but having a softness & warmth that made her stand out more in a very good way. He gestured for her to go to her family, who embraced her and soon the family was whole once more.

Cosmina whispered over and over, "Thank you… thank you… we're… we're all together again!". Her brother Skender smiled down at his little sister, saying that they had a LOT of catching up to do. She looked to her sibling, realizing who he was, than to his wife & realized that indeed she had a lot of catching up to do with her family. But she didn't mind, as they would all have eternity together in paradise.

Jesus was glad to see this, but knew that two things remained to do. He looked to the family and said, "Liviu family, there is one more thing we must do before we go Home.".

~Back on the surface~

Sofia wanted to know something since the battle was over. She went to Josiah and asked, "Excuse me, Captain Josiah. But… I was wondering… did we lose anyone?". She was hoping that no one had been lost in the massive battle, though she knew that the chances of that happening were very small.

The arch-angel answered, "We did not lose any of our mortal comrades, Princess Sofia. Though they all retained injuries that ranged from light to serious, our Healers were able to save them. However… we lost 1,000 of our own as they defended those who could not do so.". That got a gasp not just from Sofia, but the royal family.

However, it was Megera that soothed their fears. She stated, "Now, don't you worry little lady. They aren't exactly dead. You see, the angels who fought here got some serious injuries from fighting and defending. So they were automatically sent back to Heaven, where they could recuperate and heal up. So while did lose them, they didn't exactly die.". She also explained that the Healers here with them, those that seemed to be masters of their craft… were in reality intermediate! They had skill and powers of healing that were on the level of mortal masters, but up above they were still learning. So now the ones that got injured too badly or had been poisoned too much, had been sent back up to be properly healed by the true healing masters.

Now that relieved the princess, if only a little. She hoped that the 1,000 who fell were receiving the best kind of treatments up above. Her hand touched her the satchel on her belt, and suddenly she remembered the amulet! She reached into it and took out the jewel, which was still corrupted completely. Black mist seemed to seep out from the small cracks, and Sofia quickly put it down. The others stepped back as well, removing themselves from the tainted object.

Amber looked at the amulet, than at Josiah. She asked, "Can… Can it be fixed?".

Before he could answer, Genie was the one who flew in and stated, "Just leave it to me, little lady! I bet I can fix this thing in a jiffy with my magic!". He went down and picked up the amulet, and sent a small bit of magic into it to try and purify the object… but a powerful jolt of some kind came from the mixing of magic and sent the poor blue dude up fast into the air! When he came back down, he hit hard on the ice-covered dirt ground and looked like he just came back from a barbeque… with him as the main course of it.

Eden rushed to his side and exclaimed, "Honey! Sweetie, say something?!".

He answered in a loopy tone, "Oooh, mommy… look at all the pretty stars in the air…". He was gesturing to the stars that were literally circling above his head, making some wonder how did that come to be.

Sofia looked at the amulet and said, "It seems that it's very strong against genie magic. What can we do?".

Just then, a voice called out, "Why do you ask for help when you have the authority within you?". All looked to the east to see that coming towards them was Jesus, all of the angels and arch-angels bowing to him as he walked towards the mortal group. Quickly, all went to one knee in respect and reverence to the King of Kings. Behind him were the Liviu family, Cosmina looking more than a bit anxious as she beheld the vast army of light that she had just fought just some minutes ago. When they got to Sofia, all rose to their feet… and were surprised to see the sorceress there!

Roland went to his daughter's side and inquired, "Jesus, is that… how… what is going on?". He would have put more heat into it, but he did remember that he was standing in front of someone that FAR surpassed him so he tried to be as respectful as possible.

It was Ilinca that came forth to the royal ruler and spoke, "Your Highness, we managed to help our daughter Cosmina before she… passed on. What you see before you is her, redeemed and her REAL self. Not the one that had been tainted by evil.". All were looking surprised at the former magic-user, who looked down as all eyes were on her.

Cosmina gulped, gathering her courage to go to Sofia. The entire crew was now on guard, as was the princess as she went… and bowed to one knee to her. The redeemed young woman started out, "Your Highness Sofia, I… words cannot describe how sorry I am. The way I have been acting for all of these years… I was too immersed in the toxic darkness to see the light. But… thanks to you, and also in part to my parents… I was able to see it and let it in before I died. I… I want to apologize to you, even though just saying it will not be enough…". What came next surprised everyone.

Sofia took a few steps to the kneeling former enemy… and she embraced her in a warm, friendly hug! All were astonished by this, except for Jesus and the angels who knew very well on what was going on. The princess replied, "Seeing you here, with Jesus Christ no less, all clean and apologizing shows that you have truly been redeemed. I forgive you for all that you did to me and the family when you were alive.". Those few words, the words of forgiveness, really stunned all and also shocked Cosmina to the core of her spirit. Tears came forth into her eyes, and she embraced Sofia again as she sobbed a little. It was truly tremendous and powerful for one to forgive your enemy in such a manner, Jesus smiling to see such an action.

After a few moments, Sofia released the hug slowly and turned her attention to the amulet. She looked to Cosmina and asked, "Can you…?". The former sorceress knew what she was about to ask, and shook her head in a negative. She explained that she used a powerful spell that could not be undone even after death. Sofia looked like all hope was lost, until Jesus came to her and looked her in the eyes.

He said, "Sofia, have you forgotten already? You have the power and authority to cleanse the jewel. You just need to say the words.". It took only a few seconds to realize what the Teacher was saying… that she had been given the authority by Him!

The princess had a smile on her face as she nodded to Jesus, and picked up the amulet. Feeling the negative tingles coming from both the mist, and evil pervading the magical object, she brought up her courage and will before declaring, "By the authority given to me by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit… I CLEANSE THIS JEWEL FROM EVIL!".

Almost immediately, a strong white light surrounded Sofia and covered the corrupted Amulet of Avalor! The evil magic seemed to be trying to fight back, but it was all futile as the light utterly cleansed it! The cracks started to repair themselves quickly, and the black mist evaporated from the purifying. In a minute, the darkness was gone and a brilliant light shone all over the land like a lighthouse beacon! Everyone had to cover their eyes from the brilliance that was coming forth from the gemstone! The light dimmed down, but not by much as it floated in mid-air and soon went towards Sofia. All, including the princess, uncovered their eyes to see that the amulet was clean! It was pristine and shiny the day it came into Sofia's hands! The gemstone went to her, and a necklace appeared on it and wrapped around securely to Sofia's neck.

~Inside the amulet~

Most people did not know this, but there was a living person inside the amulet! It was a young lady who went by the name Princess Elena, the oldest daughter of late King Raul & Queen Lucia. Their realm was the magical world of Avalor, a land that was hidden away in Central America! The realm was rich in magical artifacts, animals, culture and more. In fact, Queen Lucia had given Elena the amulet on her fifteenth birthday, telling her on how it would protect her.

However, something terrible occurred when a sorceress by the name Shuriki came to the land, seeking power above anything else… and doing what she could to bring down any who would stand in her way. On Elena's sixteenth birthday, that was when Shuriki attacked the palace with little to no warning, and she cast a spell that took the lives of the King and Queen!

Elena wanted to protect her family, so she faced the magic-user alone but the brave Latina princess was no match for her. Before the spell Shuriki cast could strike her, the amulet activated! It brought the princess into the gem itself, protecting her from the attack! Shuriki thought she had destroyed the princess, and so started to take over the kingdom. The remaining royal family, Isabel the youngest daughter & sister to Elena, and Fransico & Luisa the grandparents of Elena, were turned into a painting by Alacazar. The man was the former Royal Wizard of Avalor, and it was he who found the amulet and discovered the fate of Elena.

He had to flee the land when Shuriki took over, and found out that the only way for Elena to be free was to find a special princess. One who had the heart, spirit and soul of a true member of royalty. He started his quest to find such a person, but after some years of searching his own land and coming up with nothing, he had to flee to other lands to start the search. He used his magic to traverse the vast ocean expanse, landing in Europe where he started resumed his search. Alas, many young royal women failed the trials that the amulet tested them on and thus Elena remained imprisoned. Alacazar was now getting too old, and used the last remaining magic he had left in him to turn himself into a book. The book was found by a unique magic-user who had created the Secret Library located in Enchancia! The amulet continued to be passed down, still searching for the unique princess.

And now it was in the hands of Sofia!

Back to the present, Elena had been under a terrible transformation. When the amulet was corrupted by Cosmina, she tried to fight the evil magic but was sadly smothered & also corrupted by the toxic substance. She had transformed; her pink & red dress turning black & purple. Her eyes going from soft, warm brown… to cold dark purple while her spirit changed from strong and loving, to sick and twisted! The more Cosmina used the amulet for her evil magic, sadly the more Elena became corrupted. It was truly perplexing to anyone if she could be saved if the amulet were ever taken out of the clutches of the sorceress.

However… a miracle was happening right now!

The moment that the holy light came into the gemstone, it started to purify and dispel the evil magic substance quite easily! Evil Elena tried to ward it off, but the power & authority of the light was very strong. It overpowered and cleansed not just the gemstone, but Elena as well! The young woman was bathed in the gentle yet strong love of God, and felt her entire spirit being cleansed like in a warm bath! Her spirit was now turned back to her true and real self, the evil completely washed away from her! Elena looked at herself, amazed and very much glad to be free from the evil that had shackled her. Not only that, she felt free and strong like she hadn't felt in years! It was amazing, some tears of joy slipping through her eyes.

She looked up and through the magic of the amulet, she saw the relived face of Sofia. The princess now knew that she was really the one that would set her completely free from the amulet one day. She said to herself, "Thank you Sofia the First! I think I can be more patient in waiting to come free from the amulet. And… thank you, High One Above.".

~Outside in the living realm~

Sofia was amazed on what just occurred, and very glad to see that the amulet was once again pristine and clean. She was smiling widely, and on impulse went and hugged Jesus yet again. He smiled and returned the hug, always welcoming little ones into his embrace. The entire company was in awe on what they had just witnessed, and it would be committed to their memory forever more. After a few moments, Jesus released the hug from Sofia and turned to his celestial warriors. He spoke, "Everyone, you have fifteen minutes to say goodbye, than we go back Home.".

The angels and arch-angels were very pleased to hear these words from their King, as many of the heavenly warriors were also kin & friend to some of the mortal fighters when they were alive. Ariel and the others who had seen their old friends come back to life to help them were also glad of Jesus's words, and soon a whole clamoring of proper greetings and farewells started in earnest. With the threat now gone, it seemed that now a real reunion was underway… even though it was to be a brief one.

While Sofia saw many of her friends talk to their deceased ones before they all went back to Heaven, she went to the Light to ask something. She went to Jesus and asked, "Umm… excuse me. I was wondering… will Godzilla and his friends go back home as well?".

The Son of God looked down at the small princess and answered, "Godzilla and his companions will stay here until the time of my birth comes. When it does, I will send the living monsters back to their world while Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan return back Home.". Now that surprised Sofia, but in a pleasant way. She was glad that her monster friends were going to stay, but was now wondering on when Jesus's birthday was. She ran over to her nearest friend, which was Aurora as she was greeting her parents, King Stefan and Queen Leah and asked on when Jesus's birthday was.

The Valentin woman was a bit puzzled by this question, but smiled warmly and answered, "Oh, Jesus's birthday is on Christmas Eve which is December 24th. It's the very reason we even celebrate the season when December comes.". Now that was news to Sofia, as it was exactly the time of Wassalia Day! She was wondering about the connection of Wassalia with Christmas, but that would have be set aside for another time.

Soon, the time drew near for the celestial beings to return back Home with Jesus. Sofia was with her family when they were greeted by Ariel, Melody, Cinderella and the rest of the company who were bonded to the Toho universe kaiju. Snow White stepped forward and spoke, "Sofia… we want to thank you for giving us quite an adventure. All of us will be sure to add this to our special history books, ones that we are making that involve us with our monster friends.". Sofia was pleased to hear this, but also felt that more was coming.

Melody came in, "After the others go back up there, well… we're going back home shortly after they do.". This surprised the royal family, especially Amber since she wanted to get to know the legendary ones better.

In fact, the blonde princess went to them and exclaimed, "Wait! You can't! I mean… why do you have to go back home so soon? I mean, can't you stay here for a little while longer?". She had blushed from the sudden outburst, realizing that she was a princess and one of royalty should rarely burst out like she did.

Tracy kneeled down eye-level to look Amber and explained, "We would like to stay longer, my friend. But we have our kingdoms to run & maintain, and many of our subjects are eager for us to return home. We promised them, and the families of our soldiers that are here, that we would come back soon after we finished things here.". This made sense to the Enchancia royal family, but it still hurt a little that their new companions had to go so soon.

Mama Odie went to Amber and patted her on the shoulder. The elderly Light-voodoo lady grinned and said, "Hahaha! Don't look so down, child! You got your memories that help you remember us, and also… who knows? We might all meet back again! Never know what the future holds, right?". Seeing the grin on her, and also the one on Radelle who was near her, made Amber cheer up a bit.

James went to Josiah and inquired, "Excuse me, ummm… Mr. Josiah. Do you think we can keep the armor and such that we used in the fight? I would like to keep something to remember all of this…".

The arch-angel captain smiled slightly at the young man and answered, "The armor and the weapons are yours to keep, young fighter. It was given to you by the Lord, so it is yours to do with as you please. I only hope that you use it with honor, wisdom and righteousness.". James had a big smile on as he proclaimed "YES!" quite loudly. The angels and even the captain chuckled & smiled at seeing such innocent energy on display.

Miranda and Roland went to Snow White, Florian, Ariel and Eric. The couple looked to the four and it was the queen who asked, "Thank you for all that you have done for us. Do… Do you think we will see any of you again? Me and my husband wish to ask you so many things.". Roland put in that he wanted to know more about them than they learned in the books, and also learn more about their time with the monsters. The Good Fairies showed them pictures and books, yes… but it was something else to hear it straight from those who had been with the titans of legend.

Ariel smiled and answered, "I think it might be possible. We'll see what we can do on our end. And if God allows it to be, than even better!".

Florian put in, "And if we do manage to come back to your kingdom, we'll tell you all that know… and more!". He told them that all of them were in the process of making secret books, one that was just for them that told of their adventures with the Toho monsters. And maybe in the future… the Enchancia family could be added into it! Now that sounded worthwhile to the royal couple.

Sofia was soon greeted by the celestial ones that had come to help their friends & family out. Mulan, Shen, Mushu, Hercules, Megera, Pocahontas and many more went to the princess who was still amazed to see so many legendary ones before her. Hercules started out, "Princess Sofia, you really showed your worth here this night! In fact, if you were back in my time, Phil would have made you a full-fledged heroine.". Said satyr, who was on Pegasus at the moment, commented that it was true. He said that she had what it took to be a heroine, outside and in.

Pocahontas spoke, "Indeed. You have heart and courage, and also you are very much in tune with nature. I can sense it, and I have to say that the bond is very strong and loving. You would have made a good member of my people back in my time.".

Quasimodo put in, "Sofia… you and your family were just amazing here! You all have the light and strength of God with you, and I hope that never changes. Only getting stronger and better with age.". He smiled at her, Sofia smiling back and hugging the hunchback. In Esmerelda's and Phoebus's view, it reminded them on when a young girl hugged Quasi like that when he emerged from Notre Dame after the defeat of the villain Judge Claude Frollo.

Sofia looked to them all, some tears forming in her eyes. She stated, "Everyone… I… I don't know how to thank you all! You helped me, your loved ones… the entire realm of Enchancia owes you all a big debt!".

Mushu came forth and the little dragon proclaimed, "Yeah, yeah we know little lady! All we ask is that you mention us in your history books! And also make sure the artists get my good side. Hehehe…". He did a muscle pose, trying to show off his physique like a muscle builder. However… it was kinda ruined due to the fact that his body had Band-Aids here and there. Meihui and Mulan gave the dragon a playful glare, which made him stop doing the pose and just laugh nervously.

Sebastian, on top of Scuttle with Flounder near them, said, "Just ignore the ego-lizard, your Highness. Just be sure to keep your family and people safe and good, and that will be enough for us.". Sofia nodded, replying that she & her family would do their best.

Suddenly, the sound of a trumpet came forth that seemed to echo from everywhere! The mortals were looking around to see where it came from… than a brilliant golden light shot down from the sky! It seemed to open up, to reveal the grand kingdom known to many as Paradise! Sofia and the others were in awe, for just the mere sight of it was something that was truly beyond imagination. All of the angels and arch-angels started to rise up, flying to the place that was their home now. Sofia and her family was committing the entire scene to memory as they saw their friends/comrades leave, when they felt a presence behind them. They turned to see that it was Cosmina with her family.

The former villainess had a soft smile on, and said, "Thank you again for forgiving me, Sofia. You are truly more better than me in every way when I was alive. And… well, I suspect I have a lot of forgiveness to ask from those up there in Heaven.". Indeed, Cosmina had sadly sent many innocent ones to meet the Father and Son. Fortunately for her, all were in Paradise so at least she could ask in one location rather than seek them out if they had turned to mere spirits/ghosts.

Sofia returned the soft smile and replied, "Hey, at least it's a start. Now go on… I believe you and your family have much to catch up on. Go home… and just enjoy being free.". The former magic-user smiled a bit wider, and bent down to hug the princess again. The royal and Liviu family looked on, just amazed to know that just a few minutes ago, these two were going at it fiercely in a deadly battle.

Cosmina soon parted from her friend, and soon joined her family in going into Paradise with the other angels. She asked if she could check out the Lamb's Book of Life, the very thing that was used to see if someone's name was written there so they could enter into the Kingdom. Cosmina it was a bit of a moot point, given her new status and all, but she just really wanted to see it.

Jesus went to stand by the royal family, looking at them all and saying, "I will always be with you, no matter what may come. Stay strong and always keep your hearts and eyes to the Light.". Sofia and her parents & siblings nodded, bowing deep to the King of Kings before he too started to rise up back Home. The princess turned to see that her guardian angel was still with her, smiling at her before fading away from view. She knew that he was always going to be there, her conscience to guide her and help her stick to the path of the straight and narrow.

Every single one of the mortals waved goodbye to their friends and loved ones, the angels turning around and shouting that they hope they would NOT see them again any time soon. It was nothing rude or anything like that, but… well, if they did see them again soon, that would mean that they had died. And each one of the celestial beings wanted their loved ones & friends to live long, full and good lives before finally coming up. Jesus was the last one to enter, the whole sky lit up brilliantly like a golden star atop a Christmas tree! It flashed brilliantly, than started to fade away. In a matter of moments, the Kingdom was gone and only a star-filled night sky remained.

Sofia remembered that after the celestial ones left, her friends were going to leave too. She and her family turned around to see that Aurora and the others were fading away, their feet slowly turning transparent like ghosts before fading away completely. The soldiers were also doing the same, waving as they were fading away. The entire company waved goodbye to the brave royal ones and it was Tinkerbell that exclaimed, "I hope we meet next time, Sofia the First! You are one incredible person to be around!". Said princess waved goodbye, along with her family, as the entire mortal group soon faded away completely as they were transported back to their own kingdoms.

When they were gone, it was David Howard that stepped forward with his beloved wife Gwendolyn by his side. He asked, "Ummm… well… your Highness? Think that you can escort us back to Razorwood? I think that everyone back home would like to hear on what happened here.".

Miranda had a look on her face, one that morphed into a smirk that soon mirrored on her family. She answered, "I think something can be arranged.".

She turned to Godzilla and the Toho titans and exclaimed, "GODZILLA, THINK WE CAN GIVE OUR RAZORWOOD FRIENDS A LIFT BACK TO THEIR HOME?!". The saurian roared loudly, and the rest of his fellow kaiju did the same with their own unique roars.

The brave volunteers from the small village were going to ride back home in style!

(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! Whew… again, this chapter really tested my mental facilities! It was very tough to make this, yet again fun to make! Also, had to look up info on Elena and the Amulet of Avalor to show here as best I could. Hope you all are not too disappointed if you are serious fans of the Latina beauty. If I missed something, please let me know. Also, I wanted to let Sofia free her later on in the future like she does in the original Sofia the First series.

Before anything else happens, want to thank God yet again for everything! Thank you Jesus for being with me, and also for being with my family. And importantly, thank you for the gift of imagination that I am doing my best to put to good use.

Well, two things I want to say now. First of all, got a letter back from Disney just very recently. It was another rejection letter, and it quotes here from said letter, "While we are happy that you wanted to share your stories and drawings with us, we have specific rules which do not allow us to accept for review or consideration any ideas, suggestions or creative materials sent to us from someone outside our company. You see, we rely on our talented staff at Disney to create our new movies." So… another rejection. But, will not let that deter me since I really do have faith that my novel series maybe something that both Disney and Toho really need! So, just have to try another approach…

And the second thing is this. Originally, I wanted to have Cosmina pass on without saying anything. Just seeing her family, and reaching out to them but not saying the words. When she does die, Hades comes out and offers her a choice. To either work for him for all eternity… or take her chances with being judged & being sent to the deepest part of the Underworld to meet the most evil of ALL evil… one that makes even the Greek Lord of the Dead shiver in pure fright and fear.

However, a review from Japan Boy made me re-think that and so… started to re-write the fate for Cosmina! I am a Christian after all, if you all saw my profile, and I do believe that one does have the choice & chance to be saved before it is too late. So… there you have it! Cosmina is saved, and also has a LOT of catching up to do with her folks.

In the next chapter, see Razorwood get a welcome it may never see again! And also that the kingdom of Enchancia will receive a sight that will be etched in their minds forever! I had to go back to previous chapters to check up on the dates and such, to make sure that everything goes smoothly and in the right way. It's a bit more time-consuming, but more worth it in the long run.

Now, here are the questions:

What would you say to Sofia and any other members of the royal family when Godzilla puts them back down on the ground?

After seeing the memory of Sofia and Cosmina duking it out, what would your personal opinion be on the princess?

After seeing Genie getting fried by attempting to purify the amulet, what would you suggest that they do to cleanse it from evil?

What would your reaction be in seeing Sofia forgive the newly reborn Cosmina like she did?

Before the heroes and heroines of Disney left back to their homes, what would you say to which character before they left?

And finally… heh, if you were one of the volunteers from Razorwood, which monster would you like to ride back to the village?

R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!)
