Amelia was alone with her mother's spirit in the library.
-Is it really you?.- Amelia asked.
-Yes.- Aurelia answered.
-How long have you been here?.- Amelia asked.
-Since your father opened a portal to the spirit world and brought those spirits for that human. I was in the spirit world when I saw them with that man. I secretly followed them to the world of the living and I've been here ever since.- Aurelia answered.
-If you've been here so long why didn't you show up before?.- Amelia asked.
-I didn't know how to do it. My loss was very hard for your father. If I had appeared as a spirit who knows how he would have reacted. Besides, I didn't know what to say to you either.- Aurelia answered.
-Well yes... I don't know what to say to you now either.- Amelia said.
-You were just a baby when I was still alive. You were so cute.- Aurelia said.
-But wait, you've been in the castle for over a year. What have you been doing all this time?.- Amelia asked.
-Just wandering around the place. I was careful that your father and the other spirits didn't notice my presence. At night I would watch you as you slept. You're so cute when you're asleep.- Aurelia said.
-Hey mom.- Amelia said.
-Mom? I love hearing you say that. Say it again, please.- Aurelia said.
-Mom.- Amelia said.
Amelia was blushing a little.
-Aaahhh! I love it.- Aurelia said.
Aurelia was very happy to hear her daughter call her mom.
-Gosh. Is that what you were like when you met dad?.- Amelia asked.
Suddenly, Amelia remembered that her father had been kidnapped. There was no time for this happy reunion. She needed the power to rescue him.
-Right, dad! Mom, I'm very happy to meet you, but I need you to give me your power to save dad.- Amelia said.
- I know, I know everything. That's why I called you to the library.- Aurelia said.
- You know?.- Amelia asked.
- Yes. I hear everything that happens in this castle.- Aurelia said.
Aurelia looked at the library door.
- Those outside are your friends, right?.- Aurelia asked.
- Yes. They are very good. They insisted that you were the one here.- Amelia answered.
- It seems that you have made good friends.- Aurelia said.
- Yes. I would like to be with them in Grimwood but dad won't let me. He insists that I must stay here to stay safe.- Amelia said.
- It was very hard for him to see me lost. Your father and I would do anything to protect you. You are our treasure.- Aurelia said.
-Yes.- Amelia said.
-Listen Amelia. The world is full of dangers. The spider queen will not be the only enemy that you and your friends will have to face in the future.- Aurelia said.
-What do you mean?.- Amelia asked.
Amelia did not know what her mother was talking about. Will there be other enemies besides the spider queen and the possessed?
-You must become strong, daughter. That is why I am going to give you my power.- Aurelia said.
-Will you give me your power?.- Amelia asked.
-Yes. Extend your hand. From now on we will always be together.- Aurelia said.
Amelia and her mother joined their hands. A light was produced that illuminated the entire room. When the light disappeared, Aurelia was no longer there. They had merged their souls. Amelia felt a great power running through her body. Amelia hugged herself.
-Thank you mom.- Amelia said.
Amelia walked towards the exit of the library. When she opened the door, she saw that Marcus and the girls were peeking through the keyhole.
-Oh, Amelia. How did it go?.- Marcus asked.
-We weren't spying.- Ghost said.
-Yeah, we just wanted to make sure no one interrupted you.- Sibella said.
Amelia didn't say anything. She just smiled when she saw them.
-I'm ready, let's go.- Amelia said.
-Ok.- Elsa said.
The girls and Marcus just followed Amelia. She seemed to be happy. They followed her to the room where the crystal ball was. She was looking in the crystal ball for the location of the ruins. After a while of searching, she found it.
-I found it. This is where my dad is.- Amelia said.
-There are definitely the doors to the underworld. I was there before.- Marcus said.
-We have to go there to rescue Mr. Alador.- Sibella said.
-Are you ready for this Amelia?.- Winnie asked.
-Yes. I'm super ready.- Amelia replied.
Now Amelia had powers like theirs. She was no longer the same as before.
-Good. Why are we going to need your help.- Tanis said.
-Welcome to the team.- Elsa said.
-You are now part of the squad.- Ghost said.
-Trust me. I won't let you down.- Amelia said.
-Okay, we're all ready. Take us there.- Marcus said.
-Yes.- Amelia said.
Amelia activated her teleportation magic to take them to the ruins.
In the ruins. The spider queen was taking Alador there. She had him wrapped in her web cocoon. When she arrived, she threw him over there. Alador on the ground, raises his head and sees that she threw him in front of the door to the underworld.
-I want you to open it!.- Tirannica ordered.
The spider queen removed the web cocoon she had placed on Alador. He stood up and shook the rest of the webs off his clothes.
-I need time to recover my energy. I used a lot of magic before.- Alador said.
-You have 5 minutes.- Tirannica said.
-I'll need more than...- Alador couldn't finish the sentence.
-You have 5 minutes! Or you'll see how I devour your daughter.- Tirannica said.
The spider queen had no patience, she wanted Alador to open the door immediately. He had no choice, he was at her mercy. In 5 minutes he would have to open the door to the underworld or the spider queen would fulfill her threat.
Near the ruins, Marcus and the girls had already arrived. They were hiding behind a rock, seeing if there were no Moors on the coast.
-Okay girls. All clear, let's move forward.- Marcus said.
-Yes.- The girls said.
They advanced silently to the ruins so as not to be detected. They continued advancing like this, until they entered.
-Well, we're in. What's the plan?.- Sibella asked.
-The plan is to rescue Alador and defeat the spider queen.- Marcus answered.
-How?.- Winnie asked.
Marcus thought a bit about the answer to that question.
-I don't know that yet.- Marcus answered.
-What if someone distracts the spider queen while the rest rescue my dad?.- Amelia asked.
-Good idea.- Tanis said.
-But who will distract her?.- Marcus asked.
-Me. I'll distract her.- Amelia answered.
-Are you sure?.- Marcus asked.
-Yes.- Amelia answered.
-Okay. Let's move on.- Marcus said.
Marcus and the girls continued advancing silently through the ruins.
Meanwhile. The 5 minutes that the spider queen had given Alador had already passed.
-You've had enough rest. Get to work!.- Tirannica ordered.
-I barely have any strength left.- Alador said.
The spider queen grabbed Alador.
-Do it now! Or you'll know what will happen to you and your daughter.- Tirannica threatened.
The spider queen threw Alador away. He stood up with difficulty. With the little magic he had, he began to open the door to the underworld. The process was slow.
At a distance where they could not be detected, Marcus and the girls watched what the spider queen forced Alador to do.
-Dad.- Amelia said.
-Poor Mr. Alador. That woman is an exploiter.- Ghost said.
-This is bad. When the spider queen knows that Alador is not strong enough to open the door, she will kill him.- Marcus said.
-I will not let her do that to my father.- Amelia said.
-Let's start with the plan.- Elsa said.
-Amelia, we are counting on you.- Marcus said.
-Okay, I know what I have to do.- Amelia said.
Marcus and his students went to one side, and Amelia moved to the other side. The spider queen was busy watching as Alador tried to open the door to the underworld. Once the two groups were in their positions, Marcus gave the signal to Amelia.
-Hey, spider queen!.- Amelia shouted.
Alador and the spider queen looked at who had shouted.
-You!.- Tirannica said.
-Amelia! What are you doing here?.- Alador asked.
Alador was in a panic seeing his daughter in this place. He agreed to open the door to the underworld to keep his daughter safe but she had come to this place, within Tirannica's reach.
-I came to rescue you dad.- Amelia replied.
-Don't be silly. Run away from here.- Alador said.
-Don't worry, everything will be fine. I can handle her.- Amelia said.
-Do you expect me to believe that you came here alone? Don't take me for a fool, little girl.- Tirannica said.
-It's true, I can handle you alone.- Amelia said.
-And how will you do it?.- Tirannica asked.
-With this.- Amelia replied.
Amelia took an insecticide out of her pocket.
-This is very useful to eliminate pests.- Amelia said.
The spider queen was angry. A girl dared to make fun of her.
-You dare to make fun of me? It seems you want to die first.- Said Tirannica.
The spider queen went towards Amelia. When she went towards her; Amelia gave the signal to Marcus and the girls to go for their dad. Amelia ran somewhere else to get the spider queen away. She started chasing her.
-Okay. Amelia already got her away.- Said Marcus.
-Let's go get her dad.- Said Tanis.
The group started to move towards Alador. He stayed on his knees watching as his daughter got the spider queen away.
-What were you thinking?.- Asked Alador.
-Alador!.- Called Marcus.
Alador saw how Marcus and the girls were approaching him. Marcus lifts Alador on his shoulders.
-Marcus. What are you doing here?.- Asked Alador.
-We came to rescue you.- Answered Marcus.
-Don't waste your time with me. Go get Amelia.- Alador said.
-Don't worry sir, she'll be fine.- Sibella said.
-She has a spirit like us now.- Winnie said.
-What are you talking about?.- Alador asked.
-It's a long story, I'll explain it to you later.- Marcus said.
Marcus and the girls took Alador with them to find Amelia.
Meanwhile, Amelia kept pushing the spider queen away. She ran while she chased her, until she had already pushed her far enough and stopped.
-You have nowhere to run anymore.- Tirannica said.
-I wasn't running away from you.- Amelia said.
-Huh?.- The spider queen asked.
-I'll show you that I'm not the same as before.- Amelia said.
Amelia prepared to use her new power.
-TRANSFORMATION!.- Amelia shouted.
A light of energy surrounded her body. Her form began to change. She was now a little taller. Her outfit became black with white lines, she had a hood on, a torn dress, long black gloves, light black shoulder protectors and a white skull ornament on her skull. She had become a heroine.
-Do you also have the same powers as them!?.- Tirannica asked.
At that moment Marcus, the Grimwood girls and Alador arrived at the place. They looked at Amelia's new form in amazement.
-Is that Amelia?.- Sibella asked.
-Oh, she looks good.- Winnie said.
-Black suits her very well.- Tanis said.
-Amelia.- Alador said.
-Pay attention. Look at what your daughter is capable of.- Marcus said.
-You can do it, girl!.- Elsa said.
-Kick her ass!.- Phantom said.
The girls cheered Amelia on.
-Don't think you can beat me just because you have those powers. You're just a slightly bigger insect.- Tirannica said.
-Spider queen. First you will answer for all those you have killed.- Amelia said.
-I am the spider queen. I answer to no one.- Tirannica said.
-You will.- Amelia said.
Amelia concentrated her magic to cast a spell.
-INVOCATION! REVENGE OF THE DEAD!.- Amelia shouted.
It began to get cold. Smoke came out of the ground. From that smoke, some ghosts came out. They were the souls of all those the spider queen had killed in her life.
-What is this?.- Tirannica asked.
When the ghosts saw her, they went to attack her. They flew around her, tormenting her.
-Get away from me!.- Tirannica shouted.
The spider queen couldn't shake them off.
-Answer your sins for a while. I'll be right back.- Amelia said.
Amelia walked over to where the others were.
-Amelia. You were amazing.- Marcus said.
-Those ghosts gave me the creeps.- Ghost said.
Ghost hugged himself and trembled.
-But you're a ghost too.- Winnie said.
-Oh, right.- Ghost said.
Amelia looked at her dad. The two were holding hands.
-Are you okay, dad?.- Amelia asked.
-Yes. Are you okay?.- Alador asked.
-Yes. I'm okay.- Amelia answered.
-How did you get that power?.- Alador asked.
-Mom helped me.- Amelia answered.
-Mom?.- Alador asked.
-Yes. She was a spirit in the castle for a year. We worked our souls and now I have her power.- Amelia answered.
-I see. Your mom helped you.- Alador said.
The spider queen was still being attacked by the ghosts. Fed up with them, she let out a roar so loud that it made them all fade away. She looked at Marcus' group. She was furious with them.
-You have already frustrated my plans enough. I will finish you all once and for all. You will be my food.- Tirannica said.
-Alador, you are weak. Go rest in a safe place. We will take care of it.- Marcus said.
-This time we will finish her off. Trust us, dad.- Amelia said.
After seeing his daughter, Alador knew he did not have to worry.
-Okay. I'll leave them with you.- Alador said.
Alador went to rest in a safe place. Marcus and the girls went to where the spider queen was. Both were looking at each other face to face.
-Tyrannical! Today we will put an end to all your evil.- Marcus said.
The girls were determined to defeat the spider queen.
-Come on girls!.- Marcus said.
-Yes!.- The girls said.
-TRANSFORMATION!.- Marcus and his students shouted.
A light of energy surrounded their bodies. Turning them into their hero forms. Marcus was in his warlock form and the girls in their heroine forms.
-The hero master. Marcus (Turn and heroic pose).- Marcus said.
-The vampire heroine. Sibella (Turn and heroic pose).- Sibella said.
-The fierce heroine. Winnie (Jump back and heroic pose).- Winnie said.
-The mummy heroine. Tanis (Turn and heroic pose).- Tanis said.
-The strongest heroine. Elsa (Turn and heroic pose).- Elsa said.
-The Phantom heroine. Phantom (Flight and heroic pose).- Phantom said.
-The undead heroine. Amelia (Spin and heroic pose).- Amelia said.
-And all together we are...- Marcus didn't finish the sentence.
-The Grimwood Ghoul Squad!.- They all shouted.
-Do you have any idea how many insects like you I have crushed? You are just another stain on my paws.- Said Tirannica.
-Don't underestimate us.- Said Amelia.
-Together we can defeat anyone.- Said Sibella.
-Winnie. Let's combine our forces.- Said Marcus.
-Okay!. (thumbs up and wink).- Said Winnie.
Marcus prepared to cast a spell.
-INVOCATION!. FULL MOON!.- Marcus shouted.
With his magic, Marcus projected the image of a full moon on them. When Winnie saw it, her werewolf instincts were activated. Her hair stood on end, her eyes turned red, her teeth longer and her muscles grew. She had become a beast.
-That's it, Winnie.- Marcus said.
Winnie howled. She ran off on all fours at an abnormal speed. She jumped and slashed the spider queen with her claws. Pity, making her bleed. Winnie was so fast that the spider queen couldn't stop her.
-AH!.- She screamed in pain.
The spider queen touched where Winnie scratched her. She couldn't believe that that girl had made her bleed. Winnie moved all over the spider queen's body at a speed that was hard to see. She scratched and bit her, that hurt her. The spider queen tried to grab Winnie but she was too fast for her. After causing many wounds, Winnie stopped and backed away. The effect of the full moon had ended and Winnie had returned to her heroine form.
-Do you think that's enough to beat me?.- Tirannica said.
Amelia walks towards the spider queen, stops and summons a long scythe as a weapon. She slams her scythe on the ground, making a crack so big that it reaches where the spider queen is standing. The crack begins to open, and a giant skeletal hand comes out of it and grabs the spider queen and tries to drag her inside. The spider queen holds on with her claws so as not to be dragged away.
-That was a spell called "Drag to Hell." Amelia said.
With her new powers, Amelia's undead magic was stronger.
-Don't think this is enough to finish me off. Tirannica said.
The skeletal hand wasn't strong enough to drag Tirannica away.
-Let me give you a hand. Marcus said.
Marcus stood next to Amelia and prepared to cast a spell.
-TREMBLE!.- Marcus shouted.
The place began to shake from Marcus's spell. Rocks fell on Tirannica, causing her to break loose and sink.
-NOOOO!.- Tirannica shouted.
The spider queen screamed as she sank into the crack. Then the crack closed, trapping Tirannica.
-We did it!.- Marcus said.
-Yes. You're great, Marcus.- Amelia said.
-No, you're the great one. We beat her thanks to you.- Marcus said.
-Yes, you're right I'm great.- Amelia said.
-High five.- Marcus said.
Marcus and Amelia shook hands. They had defeated their worst enemy. The Grimwood girls and Alador saw it all.
-We did it. We beat her.- Sibella said.
-We're the best.- Tanis said.
Sibella and Tanis hug each other. Winnie lets out a howl.
-She's finally gone. It's all over.- Winnie said.
Winnie jumps back.
-We'll never hear from her again.- Elsa said.
-Now, we can consider her dead.- Ghost said.
The girls celebrated their victory.
-Finally, the world is safe.- Alador said.
Alador felt relieved. The world could be safe now that the spider queen was gone. Marcus and Amelia walked over to the rest.
-You were great.- Sibella said.
-I knew you could do it.- Tanis said.
-You did what the 5 of us couldn't.- Elsa said.
-Just as I expected from my new best friend.- Ghost said.
-Thanks girls. I wouldn't have done it without you.- Amelia said.
-And what about me? I helped.- Marcus asked.
-You didn't do bad.- Winnie said.
The girls were congratulating Amelia more than their teacher.
-You're right. The real star here is Amelia.- Marcus said.
-Amelia. Amelia. Amelia.- Marcus and his students said.
They cheered for Amelia.
-Please stop, you embarrass me.- Amelia said.
Amelia was a little shy with the cheers. -Don't be ashamed, you earned it. You did very well.- Alador said.
Amelia went to check on her dad.
-Are you okay?.- Amelia asked.
-Yes, I'm fine. I already recovered some of my magic, I can take you to Grimwood.- Alador said.
-Okay, let's get out of here.- Ghost said.
Alador activated his teleportation spell to take them all to Grimwood.
In Grimwood, Marcus, the girls, and Alador had been teleported inside the school. Miss Grimwood saw them arrive.
-I'm glad everyone is back safe.- Miss Grimwood said.
Miss Grimwood was happy that they were able to rescue Alador and return safely. She looks at Amelia in her heroine form.
-Amelia. Is that you?.- Miss Grimwood asked.
-Yes, Miss Grimwood. I'm a heroine now like your students.- Amelia answered.
Marcus, his students, and Amelia returned to their normal forms.
-Amelia, I must apologize to you. I was so afraid of losing you like I lost your mother, that I hadn't realized that castle was like a prison for you. I'm sorry.- Alador said.
-I'm sorry too. It wasn't true when I said I hated you. You just wanted to protect me because you love me. I love you too, dad.- Amelia said.
-You know, I think a change of scenery would do you good. Grimwood seems to be a good place for girls with powers like you.- Alador said.
-You mean...?.- Amelia couldn't finish the sentence.
-Yes. You can study at Grimwood from now on.- Alador said.
Amelia couldn't believe it. Her dream had come true.
-I love you, dad.- Amelia said.
Amelia hugged her dad.
-I love you too, daughter.- Alador said.
The rest were very happy to hear the news.
-We have a new student. I'm going to ask her to accompany me to sign all the papers.- Miss Grimwood said.
-Sure. Sure.- Alador said.
-You made a good decision. Our school offers the best education there is for monster girls.- Miss Grimwood said.
Miss Grimwood took Alador to sign the papers.
-Welcome to Grimwood, Amelia.- Marcus said.
-Does that mean I'll be your student now? - Amelia asked.
-Yes. I'm looking forward to teaching you. - Marcus answered.
-You're now part of the Grimwood Ghoul Squad. - Sibella said.
-With you we're 6 heroines. - Winnie said.
-We'll be stronger than before. The bad guys won't have a chance against us. - Elsa said.
-You'll have to bring your things here. I can help you put them in your new room. - Tanis said.
-You can have your room next to mine. - Ghost said.
The girls now had a new partner. From now on Amelia will be a student at Grimwood and a member of their team of heroes. They were very happy to have their friend living with them.
-Now that the spider queen is gone, we'll only have to worry about the possessed. With Amelia it will be a piece of cake. - Marcus' thoughts.
That's what Marcus believed but evil is not defeated so easily.
In the ruins, where they had had their fight with Tirannica. The part of the ground where she fell was shaking. Suddenly, a monstrous hand rises from the ground. The spider queen was not dead yet.
