The sun had risen. The day of the challenge had arrived. Marcus and the girls were already prepared in the living room to leave.
-Today is the day of the challenge. Are you ready?.- Marcus asked.
-Yes!.- The girls said.
-This time we are ready for it.- Sibella said.
-I already want to have my revenge.- Winnie said.
-I won't be able to go but I will support you in spirit.- Ghost said.
-Count on us. You won't be able to beat our teamwork.- Tanis said.
-Thanks for lifting my spirits yesterday girls. With you by my side I feel even stronger.- Elsa said.
-Sure. We wouldn't go without you.- Sibella said.
-You are the muscles of the team.- Tanis said.
-First I will take Elsa to see Alador to give him a spirit. While he gets it we will go marching.- Marcus said.
-What?.- The girls said.
- Are we going without Elsa? - Sibella asked.
- We can't just wait here for Elsa to get her spirit. Bellator might get tired of waiting and come here. We have to go in the meantime. - Marcus answered.
- Go without Elsa? With that guy? - Winnie asked.
- Don't tell me you're scared? - Marcus asked.
- What?! Of course not! I just thought I didn't want to take all the action away from Elsa. - Winnie said.
- Yes. This is your moment. - Tanis said.
- Thanks for thinking of me girls but don't worry. Go ahead. - Elsa said.
- Sure. - Tanis said.
- Great. - Winnie said.
Winnie and Tanis smiled nervously. They were actually a little scared of going without Elsa.
- Fine. I'll call Alador. - Marcus said.
Marcus took out his cell phone and called Alador.
-Alador it's me. Elsa and I are ready to go.- Marcus said.
-Excellent. I'll activate the teleportation spell.- Alador said.
Marcus hung up his phone.
-Wait here.- Marcus said.
A magic circle appeared under Marcus and Elsa, and they were both teleported.
In Alador's castle. Marcus and Elsa had already arrived.
-This way.- Marcus said.
Marcus led Elsa to the study to meet Alador.
-Splendid, they've arrived. You must be Elsa?.- Alador said.
-Yes.- Elsa replied.
-I introduced myself. I'm Alador.- Alador said.
-Are you going to give me a spirit?.- Elsa asked.
-Yes. Follow me this way.- Alador answered.
-Well, I'll leave. I have to go now.- Marcus said.
Marcus was already leaving but before he left he remembered that there was something he wanted to ask Alador.
-By the way. About the other time...I...I was wondering if everything was okay?.- Marcus asked.
In the previous fight, Amelia went to help Marcus and the Grimwood girls without telling her dad.
-Well. I'm certainly upset that my daughter went to help them without my consent but I'm glad she came back safe and sound.- Alador answered.
-Well. I thought you might still be angry.- Marcus said.
-I am.- Alador said.
-Oh. And where's Amelia?.- Marcus asked.
-She's grounded.- Alador replied.
Marcus felt bad that Amelia had been punished for saving them but Alador was her father and he decides how she should be raised.
-Well, I have to go now. Elsa, while you get the power of the spirit, we will be fighting Bellator. Come help us when you're done.- Marcus said.
-Yes. I'll go as soon as I can.- Elsa said.
-Remember. You must not forget where the true strength is.- Marcus said.
-What does that mean?.- Elsa asked.
-I'm the one with the riddles here, Marcus.- Alador said.
-You'll understand when you find out. Take me back now Alador.- Marcus said.
Alador used his teleportation magic to send Marcus back to Grimwood.
-Come. I'll show you where your spirit is.- Alador said.
Alador led Elsa to the library.
Back in Grimwood, Marcus had already arrived.
-And Elsa?.- Tanis asked.
-She'll come later. We'll go now.- Marcus answered.
Marcus and the girls, except Ghost, went to the place where Bellator told them to go for the battle.
-Goodbye. Good luck.- Ghost said.
-Don't forget to come back alive.- Miss Grimwood said.
Ghost and Miss Grimwood said goodbye to the others while Ivan left.
Returning to Alador Castle. Elsa was already in front of the library door.
-If you want to be strong, cross this door and you will find the power you are looking for.- Alador said.
Alador said that and left Elsa alone. Elsa stared at the huge door of the library in front of her. She knew that if she crossed this door she would have to go fight Bellator, the guy who almost killed her. Her friends helped her calm down but she was still a little scared. Although she was more afraid of losing her friends. She was not going to let them fight that monster alone. After thinking about it, she took a deep breath and said:
-As mom would say: "Nothing will work unless you make it work."- Elsa said. (Sorry, I couldn't resist).
With that, she entered the library.
On the rocky terrain where the challenge will take place, Bellator was waiting for his opponent to arrive. He didn't move, he was focused on visualizing the fight in his mind. Suddenly, in the distance, Bellator sees Marcus and the girls arrive.
-They shouldn't be here. I didn't challenge you.- Bellator said.
-We are a team. We fight together.- Marcus said.
-If you mess with one, you mess with all.- Winnie said.
-I won't forgive you for trying to hurt my friend.- Sibella said.
-This time we are ready for you.- Tanis said.
-Well, maybe you can help me warm up.- Bellator said.
Marcus and the girls got into their positions to start their transformation.
-TRANSFORMATION!.- They all said.
Marcus was in his black knight form and the girls in their heroine forms. They stood on guard and went to attack Bellator.
Back to Alador Castle. Elsa was already inside the library.
-Where should I look?.- Elsa wondered.
She walked through the library looking for a spirit. Until she saw that there were two spirits floating above.
-Hello, down here!.- Elsa called.
The spirits heard someone calling them and looked down to see who it was.
-Now that I have your attention! Could you please come down here?- Elsa asked.
The spirits heard her call and one of them went to see her. It was the spirit that was of the same race of monster as Elsa, the Frankenstein woman.
-Hello girl. My name is Justine. It's good to see another one like me.- Justine said.
-Oh, hello Justine. I need your help.- Elsa said.
-Sure. How can I help you?- Justine asked.
-I need you to lend me your power.- Elsa answered.
-For what?.- Justine asked.
-So I can be strong.- Elsa answered.
-Our race is very strong.- Justine said.
-Not strong enough, apparently.- Elsa said.
-What do you mean?.- Justine asked.
-It's just that I used to think I was very strong, but I ended up meeting someone stronger than me.- Elsa answered.
-Tell me.- Justine said.
-My master and three of my friends fight the possessed to save the world. I tried to help them, but they almost killed me. That monster was much stronger than me. I stayed under my bed shaking in fear, until my friends helped me get back together. Now they went to fight that guy, I want to go help them, but I don't have the strength.- Elsa said.
-So, do you think that if I lend you my power, you'll have the strength to defeat him?.- Justine asked.
-I don't know. Honestly I'm still scared. My friends have the power of the spirits on their side but they couldn't beat it yesterday. Still I want to be there with them. We've all been training hard to get stronger and if something happens to my friends I'll... that's it! That's what Professor Marcus meant! Now I have it.- Elsa answered.
-I don't know what you mean but it seems like you already have your answer.- Justine said.
-Yes. I have it.- Elsa said.
-Good. I'll give you my power. Extend your hand.- Justine said.
Both of them joined their hands. A glow occurred that illuminated the entire room. Justine's spirit had merged with Elsa.
-Great.- Elsa said.
Elsa felt a great power running through her body.
-Now I know where my strength comes from. Wait girls, here I come!.- Elsa said.
Elsa hurried and ran out to help her friends. The remaining spirit saw everything that happened.
-I was left alone.- The spirit said.
On the battlefield, Marcus was fighting Bellator. Their swords sparked as they clashed. Due to their training, they could now fight Bellator.
-Yes. Entertain me more.- Bellator said.
-I'm not here to entertain you.- Marcus said.
Marcus and Bellator pushed each other with their swords. Until Winnie slashed Bellator from behind.
-Ah!.- Bellator shouted.
Winnie's slash hurt him. Then Tanis used his bandages to hold him, while Sibella cut him with an aerial attack.
-You're not that strong anymore.- Sibella said.
Sibella and Tanis attacked him, summoning their swarm of bats and beetles. Then Marcus and Winnie went to him. They attacked him with a sword and claw combo. They were starting to dominate the fight. The four of them managed to make Bellator retreat.
-I see. I better get serious.- Bellator said.
It seems that Bellator is not fighting with all his strength yet. The four of them stood on guard, ready for his attack. Bellator went and attacked them with all his strength. This time his strength was greater than before, the others defended themselves as best they could. Marcus and Winnie tried to hit him, Sibella defended herself as best she could, Tanis couldn't even get close. He was doing badly in the fight. Bellator prepared to give them a deadly blow, with his sword he began to spin very fast, and he went to attack Marcus and the girls, knocking the four of them off course.
-He is very strong.- Sibella said.
-All this time he had not shown his true strength.- Winnie said.
-Looks like it's time to finish them off.- Bellator said.
Bellator started to approach where they were lying to give them the final blow.
-Here he comes.- Tanis said.
-Let's not give up girls. Get up.- Marcus said.
Marcus and the girls tried to get up but that blow had left them in bad shape. Bellator was getting closer, it seemed like there was nothing they could do. Until a certain person arrived just in time.
-Stop right there!.- Elsa shouted.
Elsa had arrived just in time to save her friends.
-Elsa!.- Marcus said.
-Thank goodness.- Tanis said.
Elsa approached the battlefield.
-Are you okay? Sorry for the delay.- Elsa said.
-Don't worry. You arrived just in time.- Sibella said.
-Although a little earlier would have been better.- Winnie said.
-Finally, my opponent appears in front of me.- Bellator said.
-Now, I will fight you.- Elsa said.
-Since you took so long, I thought you had chickened out.- Bellator said.
-Not anymore. I was afraid before but now I discovered that my strength is in my friends.- Elsa said.
-I knew you would understand.- Marcus said.
-Friends are an obstacle. The strong don't need anyone.- Bellator said.
-That's not true. I wouldn't have gotten this far if it weren't for my friends and I will prove it to you.- Elsa said.
Elsa prepared for her rematch and to show him the strength she had found.
-TRANSFORMATION!.- Elsa shouted.
A light of energy surrounded Elsa's body. Her body was now taller, she had a golden and purple robotic armor, tubes coming out of her back and very large gauntlets on her hands. She had become a heroine. Her friends were impressed to see her.
-This is the power of friendship.- Elsa said.
-Yes. This was what I was waiting for. The real fight begins now.- Elsa said.
-Come. I will give you the challenge you were looking for.- Elsa said.
The two went head to head one after the other and an impact occurred when their weapons collided. Their attacks produced great impacts as they attacked and defended each other. Bellator gave Elsa a strong blow with his sword but she blocked it with her gauntlets. Bellator's attack made Elsa retreat. Elsa generates an electric charge in her body and throws a lightning bolt at Bellator. He receives it and is hurt. Taking advantage of the fact that Bellator was hurt, Elsa diverts her electrical power to grab her gauntlets and goes against Bellator. She hits him again and again with an electrical power so strong that not even Bellator can defend himself. Bellator is very hurt by Elsa's blows, he couldn't believe that a girl had caused him so much damage.
-How...how can it be that you have all that power?.- Bellator asked.
-Because I have friends who make me a strong person. Together we improve every day to face guys like you.- Elsa answered.
Bellator was furious. Not only was he losing to a girl, but she was also lecturing him. Talking to him about all that friendship stuff made him angry.
-I'm not going to lose to nonsense like that!.- Bellator said.
Bellator went with all his strength to Elsa. She was preparing to hit him with her strongest blow. She charged all her energy in her right arm, making it glow from all the electricity that ran through it.
-ELSA'S PUNCH!.- Elsa shouted.
Once she said the name of her attack, she hit Bellator so hard that she sent him flying, causing him to crash into a stone wall. Bellator fell to the ground defeated. The fight was over and Elsa is the winner.
-She did it.- Tanis said.
-That's our Elsa.- Sibella said.
After seeing that she won, Elsa returned to her normal form.
-Is everyone okay?.- Elsa asked.
-Yes.- Marcus answered.
Her friends went to her to congratulate her on her victory.
-You were amazing.- Winnie said.
-That form suits you very well.- Sibella said.
-You sent him flying with just one punch from your fists.- Tanis said.
-If they hadn't supported me, I wouldn't have made it.- Elsa said.
While the girls were talking, Marcus went to remove the monster's spirit from the possessed man. He used the soul-separating staff to separate the spirit from his body, returning him to his human form. Once finished, he went to his students.
-Elsa. Did you find your strength?.- Marcus asked.
-Yes, master. I found it.- Elsa answered.
-Good. Now I'll call the police to take that guy away.- Marcus said.
An hour later, the police had arrived and had the suspect in custody. Marcus and the girls were being interrogated.
-Could you explain to me how all this happened?.- Bob asked.
-I don't know, officer. That guy just appeared out of nowhere.- Marcus answered.
Marcus was lying so as not to raise suspicions. The other policeman was interrogating his students.
-So you defeated him?.- Frederic asked.
-Yes. It was hard work but I was able to defeat him.- Elsa answered.
-Do you have any idea who he is?.- Frederic asked.
-No.- Elsa answered.
-He's Jaw Taizon, a former mixed martial arts fighter who was banned for his violent behavior. How could a girl have defeated him?.- Frederic asked.
-Why am I a superheroine?- Elsa answered.
-Elsa is the strongest heroine.- Winnie said.
-We are also heroines.- Tanis said.
-But only when we transform.- Sibella said.
Officer Frederic had no idea what they were talking about but since he already had the criminal handcuffed, he decided not to make any more sense of it and leave.
-You know, forget it.- Frederic said.
He called his partner and the two got into the patrol car.
-Did you understand something?.- Bob asked.
-I don't know. I don't understand monsters.- Frederic answered.
The two left with the suspect.
-Well, it would be better if we left too.- Marcus said.
-Yes. They must be worried.- Sibella said.
-I want to tell Ghost and Miss Grimwood everything that happened.- Elsa said.
While they were chatting, Marcus and the girls didn't realize that they were being watched by one of the Spider Queen's little arachnid spies.
In her lair, Tirannica found out about everything that happened.
-Grogg! You have failed me too.- Said Tirannica.
-I'm sorry mistress. If you give me another chance I will...- Grogg was interrupted.
-"Another chance"? I'm sick of hearing that word!.- Said Tirannica.
Tirannica wrapped Grogg in her web and hung him next to Doby.
-If you want me to do it right. You have to do it yourself.- Said Tirannica.
Tired of her minions' bad choices. Now it was Tirannica's turn to choose a possessed and send him to Grimwood.
In Grimwood, Elsa told Ghost and Miss Grimwood everything that happened. Ghost was amazed by her friend but Miss Grimwood was worried about what happened.
-It seems like you took a big risk Elsa?.- Asked Miss Grimwood.
-Yes, but I could handle it.- Answered Elsa.
-If it wasn't for Elsa we wouldn't have made it.- Marcus said.
-However, you four are in great danger and I don't want that to happen again.- Miss Grimwood said.
-No, it won't happen again. Because next time I'll be with them!.- Ghost said.
-What?.- Miss Grimwood asked.
-I'm next. I'm the only one who doesn't have a spirit. Next time will be my time to shine.- Ghost answered.
Excited, she began to fly around the room, saying things about how incredible it will be. Everyone else just stared and thought, "What will it be like when Ghost's time comes?"
