Equestria. Ponehenge. Day.
Both Twilight and the Pony of Shadows have arrived at Ponehenge. Brought here by Dragonite's Light Travel, they managed to keep up with the Pony of Shadows before the worst could happen. Already here at Ponehenge, waiting for Twilight to show was Sunburst. Galaxy Master's Dragonite stood by them, sticking around to give them support as ordered by Galaxy Master himself.
"So, you caught up with me." said the Pony of Shadows with his voice echoing across the sky. "But do you actually have the means to stop me? Your princess spoke about sealing me but I can already tell just by looking at you. You're not even half the magical expert Starswirl was."
"You're just half of yourself. Which means it won't be hard to put the rest of you back in." Radiant Hope added. "We don't need to have Starswirl's expertise for that."
"But you'll need all the help you can get. I may have sent a majority of my shadows out over at that canyon. Half of me is already enough to handle you all." The Pony of Shadows sneered.
"He has a point..." Starlight moved back once the Pony of Shadows moved his head slowly forward.
"Uh, Twilight. We really need him to be as still as possible for this to work. I saw the projections here and it was a struggle for them as well."
"Projections?" Twilight repeated, looking back at Sunburst.
"Yes. I saw it for myself. Seeing the memory of how I was sealed when the Lich Queen managed to bring half of myself back was rather distasteful. Whatever you do next, I can guarantee you that I'll free myself. After all, either one of you have the capability of freeing me. All I need to do is make one of you my new vessel!" The Pony of Shadows moved in, targeting Twilight first. She sensed a huge heap of magic within her despite how she put her below Starswirl.
"Dra!" Stepping up to the Pony of Shadows was Galaxy Master's Dragonite, who would defend them and guarantee them enough time. The Dragon Pokemon would unleash light from his body, stopping the Pony of Shadows in his tracks. He growled at this light that contrasted greatly with his darkness.
Here to help out as well were the Canterlot and Crystal Empire Soldiers who originally came with Sunburst under Princess Celestia's order. Their Golurks would approach the Pony of Shadows, who couldn't just casually go after Twilight and use her as a vessel. But to him, this seemed like a small annoyance considering what he's done so far.
"Nows a good enough time to go for it! How did they do it, Sunburst?!" Starlight Glimmer questioned, needing an answer to how Staswirl and the Pillars sealed away the Pony of Shadows.
"Well...Touch the book and you'll see!" Sunburst aimed his hoof over at a book that sat on one of the rocks. Judging by the tone in his voice, it sounded rather nervous, as if this whole sealing plan had a catch to it. Twilight Sparkle, Radiant Hope and Starlight Glimmer would approach the book while the Pokemon confronted the Pony of Shadows. Espeon and Haxorus would stay behind, supporting Dragonite and the Golurk just so that their Trainers are unbothered.
Twilight approached the book as it would react to her arrival. The book suddenly lit up, gaining a blue light that would shine out of it. It even opened itself without anyone having to do it. The book already made itself available to Twilight and her friends.
When it opened, a mystical aura would emerge with beautiful sparkles around it. The blue light from before would make a comeback, swirling around while rising. And from it, the projections that Sunburst spoke of showed themselves. And the first one to show up was none other than Starswirl the Bearded.
The one that Twilight looked up to and who once taught Celestia and Luna a plethora of magical spells that they use to this day had appeared, but merely as a projection. However, it was still outstanding to see him for the first in his true appearance rather than a drawing.
"I'm actually seeing him..." Naturally Twilight felt like geeking out. But now was not the time for that. The circumstances wouldn't allow for such an exciting moment. All she could do was gaze in wonder. The other Pillars showed up, receiving their own projections as this felt like a look into the past. And right in the middle was the projection of the Pony of Shadows. The one from long ago.
He was just as intimidating as he is in the current day, laughing as he appeared out of a massive dark sphere. In fact, it was shown that Starswirl was the one who brought him out here, similar to how Rosa Maledicta brought him back after so long
"You summon me at your peril, Starswirl! Once I defeat all of you, this realm will embrace the darkness as I did so long ago!" The Pony of Shadows bellowed as it felt perplexing to see him again considering what was happening behind them right now.
"We did not come here to defeat you," Starswirl said as Twilight heard his voice for the first time. At the same time, the sound of Pokemon Attacks ran through their ears as Twilight turned her head for a moment to see Espeon being knocked back. The Golurk were currently holding onto some of the shadows that tried to wrap around them while Dragonte was ferociously blasting Hyper Beams and piercing through the darkness, leaving behind holes.
Twilight turned her attention back to Starswirl and everyone, seeing how the events at Ponehenge transpired. Just like what was happening right now, shadow tendrils flew out of the Pony of Shadows's wings, quickly restraining the Pillars where they stand. The past then showed how the shadows closed in, darkening the area as the Pony of Shadows seemed to be gaining some power from it.
"Drawing me here will only make me stronger. You will never defeat me!" The Pony of Shadows boasted while holding them down.
However, in retaliation, Starswirl was shown to easily rid the tendrils from his body. And after doing so, the book that he possessed which showed the past originally was raised up. It opened once more but this time, instead of showing a projection, it unleashed a beam, targeting the Pillars. Specifically, it targeted special items they used, utilizing them as talismans. The magic would light up these items, zipping to one after the other before forming a hexagon around the Pony of Shadows.
"What are you doing?!" He shouted after noticing this magical hexagon and how it was interacting with his shadows in an unfavourable way.
"We came to contain you." Altogether, with Starswirl channelling the magic, each of the Pillars would release a blinding light that raised them and the Pony of Shadows into the air. The Pony of Shadows found himself unable to move, screaming as he desperately tried breaking free. And just like that, with ease, the light would explode and shimmer before fading away. And with it, the Pillars of Equestria plus the Pony of Shadows had vanished.
All that was left behind was this book that made a holographic recording of the whole encounter. And the talismans they used to seal him away which dropped down but vanished right afterwards.
"That's it?" Twilight brought the book over to her, surprised that was all it had to entail.
"It looked more like banishment than sealing him away. I don't see anything that eludes to him being sealed," said Starlight.
"Powerful magic like that would leave an impression on this place. Bringing the book back here let us see what happened. I saw it all when I came here and it looks like Starswirl and the Pillars all sacrificed themselves." Sunburst replied. "As for how they sealed him, I don't know. I've been waiting here trying to figure it out and I couldn't make an action until you showed up."
Sunburst already witnessed the process but was unsure of how it was done. Right as he and his fellow magical friends pondered this, Spike's Haxorus was slammed to the ground by the Pony of Shadows. Their attention was then geared to the battle happening nearby. The Golurk could be seen swinging at the Pony of Shadows with various punches, but with his amorphous shadows, he could evade them and strike back, delivering his own heavy hits to the Automatons.
"We'll figure it out as soon as possible! Right now, let's take this book back with us and see what we can do!" Twilight opted to leave Ponehenge.
"Wait, we're leaving?! I thought we were going to seal him here like the pillars did before?!" Starlight questioned.
"I don't know how they did it but I noticed how they used objects to make it happen. We can't do anything right now." Twilight replied. She was only doing this because she felt the need to replicate what the pillars did. The book already showed her the holographic recording so the words within must also wield a wealth of knowledge to take in.
"Fleeing, are we?" The Pony of Shadows cackled while constricting the Golurk with his tendrils. "Unfortunately, you're too late for that. I've already surrounded this place with my shadows!"
Indeed. The whole time they've been watching Starswirl's recording while Espeon and Haxorus take on the Pony of Shadows with the Golurk assisting them, the shadows have already worked their magic. Twilight and the others looked around to see Ponehenge being caged by tall pillars of shadows.
When looking at this, it reminded her, Sunburst and Radiant Hope of the Shadow Spire that once contained the Crystal Empire. It felt similar as well as these pillars had very small gaps that were incredibly close to each other.
"Now what? Do we keep going?" Sunburst asked.
"I'm reading what's in here, but I'll need time to assess the entire book since this is the last trace of Starswirl ever. Please. I need you all to keep him busy while I figure it out."
"We'll try." Starlight gulped before taking out one Poke Ball. And in that Poke Ball was her only Pokemon left now that Hatterene had been taken out by Yveltal. Clobbopus was the only Pokemon she had on her. "I'm counting on you, Clobbopus."
"Out you come, all of you!" Twilight would throw all of her Poke Balls into the air, simultaneously unleashing beloved Pokemon. Absol, Ninetales, Togekiss and Cinccino had entered the fray. And upon appearing, Togekiss would throw out an Aura Sphere from her mouth, intercepting one of the shadows that tried to grab Haxorus from behind. "We'll get out of here and finish what the Pillars started. Because right now, everyone else is working hard to save our new world."
Exploud Canyon. Magehold. Magehold Chamber.
The battle over at Exploud Canyony raged on. And at this very moment, the most peculiar family reunion had occurred. The Sirens have just met up with Opal Vivacity, who was the half-sister to the Dazzlings. They showed up in time to save Rarity's group, who have been greatly hit by Opal's Curse Magic. Their sights and hearing have been cut off but the one who got the worst of it all was Rarity, who almost lost all 5 of her senses.
Right now, she was being held up by Adagio as she could barely feel her, see her or hear her. If Bisharp had not intervened at the right time, Rarity would be in the worst condition possible without a doubt. Vivace was greatly disgusted to see Opal Vivacity again, even more so than the Dazzlings, who were just confused.
"I'm glad you showed up..." Rarity said weakly. "It was rather silly of me to tackle her on my own. I really wanted to avenge Olympia since she took her cape and everyone else she's terrorized."
"Olympia's fine," said Adagio. "And you don't have to worry about that anymore now that we're here. We'll toss out this part of her family and bury it forever."
"Good luck. Her best bet to beat me is now blind and unable to see where she's running." Opal laughed, referring to Pheromosa who was the fastest here. Pheromosa was on one knee, knowing this to be true as she could still hear everything despite having her vision disrupted.
"Pheromosa..." Pheromosa groaned as Sonata would come to her side. Vivace would then look at the rest of Rarity's Pokemon who have taken horrible hits from Opal's Curse Magic. And unfortunately, Vivace knew about Opal's signature magic all too well.
"As it stands now, I'm unbeatable!" Opal shouted. "So either get going or face your end. Speed can't beat me. And right now, power means nothing when I hold the most of it."
"Hmph. She's not the only one with a Pheromosa." Adagio replied with a confident and cocky smile on her face, quickly erasing Opal's smirk. Rarity heard that as she could only think of one thing once Adagio said that. From her saddlebag, an Ultra Ball was revealed via Magic. Rarity knew of another Pheromosa aside from her own. And it was the one that Ghetsis lent Pheromosa. Adagio launched it into the air, summoning her own Pheromosa.
"Pheromosa!"
"Paul gave me an excellent recommendation. I was hesitant on bringing this one along due to how violent she is. But power is power and I'd never miss out on a chance to gain it." Adagio flipped her mane, working with Pheromosa once more.
"I thought you only had Kricketot you. I never thought you'd work with that Pheromosa ever again." Rarity groaned.
"Kricketot's improved as well if you must know. Or should I say...Kricketune!" With another Poke Ball fling into the air, she summoned the Pokemon who once used to sit in her massive mane, using it as a bed. Kricketot had evolved, reaching his final evolution.
"Kricketuuuuune!" Kricketot had arrived. Indeed, the Dazzlings have been busy these past months. Kricketune was here and just as promised, he and Adagio grew together.
"What? You're going to try and beat me with that silly-looking Pokemon?! With a moustache that unkempt and grey?!" Opal laughed at this mere display of supposed power.
"I'd prefer if you didn't make fun of my Kricketune. The last group that mocked him went flying if you must know." Adagio gave a menacing glare to Kricketune."
"Wow...Kricketot evolved at last." Rarity smiled at this. She could hear Kricketune's beautiful voice once he arrived. His vocal skills have already improved. But how well does he do in battle now that he's reached his final evolution?
"Stay back, Pheromosa. We've got this!" Sonata said, sending her own Pokemon out as well. And as always, she had her Vaporeon and Lopunny by her side. Aria would send out her own Pokemon and they showed up in the form of Brionne and Croagunk. These two haven't fully evolved yet but that didn't make them any less powerful.
"Okay?" Opal scoffed. "Is this supposed to intimidate me? It just looks like more of the same. A Bug, a Water Creature and some Rabbit. Same old, same old." She taunted their team as Rarity's own team had some similarities to their own. After taunting them, she raised the hoof of her Mega Evolution Contrust, which had used more power to regenerate it.
"We do things differently compared to other Pokemon Trainers now. And you're about to find out." Adagio smirked, holding her breath in. "Get ready girls! And sing, Kricketune!"
"Kricke...Tuuuune!" From his mouth, the most melodic song came out of Kricketune's mouth. And this song was none other than the song he's been listening to for a long time now. Ever since he met Adagio, the Song 'Under your Spell' has been the one he's repeated more than anything else. It was also his all-time favourite.
And that even translated into his actions. Right as he sang the song, Croagunk, Brionne, Vaporeon, Lopunny and Pheromosa were ready to leave. "Lopunny! Agility! Vaporeon, use Hydro Pump on the ground!"
"Vaaaa!" From her mouth, Vaporeon targeted the floor by shooting out high-volume blasts of water. All the while, Lopunny was already bouncing to the rhythm of the song that Kricketune was singing. By hitting the ground, this area was already been flooded as soon as possible, but to the advantage of the Dazzlings. They were sirens after all and if water was involved, there were bound to be some benefits.
"What's a bunch of water supposed to do!?" Opal bellowed before bringing the massive hoof of her Mega Form down. It caused a huge splash that shook the waves, attempting to throw off the attack. However, this failed as Adagio suddenly used her magic to interact with the massive splash. The splash never disrupted the Hydro Pump. Instead, it added to it.
Adagio multiplied the water, making more of it by using the splash. Opal gasped as Adagio managed to create more water which only resulted in the rest of the room being flooded even faster than before. There was soon a lake inside this room in just a few seconds. And with the water rising, the Sirens were already in their natural habitat. Vivace was especially in her natural habitat since she was the only one that appeared as a Siren.
Vaporeon was fine in this too but what really mattered were Rarity and all of her Pokemon. Vivace would keep Rarity close to her while also using some magic of her own. The Underwater Breathing Spell had been cast on those who needed to breathe underwater. On top of that, they lost some of their senses, so it would be harder for them to be underwater without some support.
Milotic was completely fine underwater but her current condition meant that she didn't have much strength to swim either way. The water went high, even catching the entirety of the Mega Evolution entity. Opal was kept safe from the water thanks to the Mega Evolution Energy being an extra shield, but now she was in the natural habitat of the sirens. And even as a Half Siren such as herself, she wasn't actually prepared for this.
"I can defeat you all underwater as well. Just watch!" Opal rambled again as the song that Kricketune sang correlated with the movements of his friends. Lopunny was currently using Agility while underwater despite the difference in the environment compared to the land. Lopunny dashed through the waves, dancing at the same time in tune with the song that Kricketune was playing.
Croagunk was doing the same thing, also moving to the rhythm of the song while approaching the Giant Mega Evolution. Pheromosa did her own thing, not listening to the music at all. She was still focused on herself compared to Rarity's Pheromosa. Right as Opal swung her hoof, Croagunk and Lopunny expertly dodged it. It was absolutely immaculate how well they managed to evade the giant hoof swing, ignoring how it made a powerful wave underwater.
Adding to Kricketune's song was Brionne. This song that the Dazzlings made was originally sung by all three of them. And while there weren't three Pokemon to sing, two would do for now. And the results already showed thanks to how they were coordinated.
"Poison Jab, Croagunk!" They moved so smoothly as Croagunk unleashed Poison Jab on the hoof that missed him, landing a clean hit. And by striking the hoof with some poison, Croagunk already spread some of it across the hoof, making Opal Grimace.
"Lopunny, use Close Combat!"
"Lo-Pun!" And even Lopunny's kicks were rhythmic. She would deliver a powerful kick onto the hoof of Opal's Mega Evolved Form, syncing with the music. Opal tried retaliating by spreading her Curse Magic since they interacted with her physically. But even that was outdone by the power of music.
Lopunny would perform an elegant flip off OPal Vivacity's leg the second her Curse Magic could be seen. It completely missed Lopunny, unable to catch her as she would then swim upwards, flying up to the higher parts of Opal's hoof, and delivering another powerful kick. This time, seven kicks came in, striking one spot of the hoof continuously at high speeds.
"Why you!" Opal roared before unleashing a powerful beam of Infinity Energy from her mouth, trying to blow everyone and the entire water away.
"Hyper Voice!"
"Briioooone!" Responding to that was Brionne, who elevated her singing voice by using Hyper Voice. She sent a powerful sound vibration through the water that would race over to the massive beam that approached Croagunk and Lopunny. Boosted by Kricketune's voice, the Hyper Voice intercepted the Fake Hyper Beam.
Opal was shocked to see her Hyper Beam being held back by some singing. It didn't even combust when coming into contact with it. Instead, the Hyper Voice would push back the Hyepr Beam, sending it back at Opal Vivacity.
She quickly used her Fate Changing Mane to change fate in her favour, panicking for a moment as this would definitely deal some major damage if it landed. She managed to change fate, sending the Hyper Beam elsewhere. She only managed to send it towards one of the walls as it blew up there instead.
"You nearly got me you impudent gnats!" That greatly aggravated Opal Vivacity who would then have her Mega Evolution Construct use its massive mane as well. But since it couldn't change fate, it would simply resort to using the mane as a weapon. The Energy Mane would gain a tendril-like motion, swinging violently while having a noticeable sharpness. The blades would slice through the water, not to be taken lightly at all.
"Fury Cutter!"
"Tuuuune!" Even while singing, Kricketune would approach his opponent. He kept up the song while also gaining some sharpness thanks to Fury Cutter.
"Close Combat again! And Vaporeon! Hydro Pump one more time!"
"Croagunk, use Thunder Punch! Brionne, Moonblast!"
Kricketune and his friends would quickly retaliate as the Cricket Pokemon could clash with Opal's sharp mane. Those Fury Cutter claws were no joke as they managed to meet with the mane without one side overpowering the other instantly. Kricketune would then start clashing with the mane while singing to the song, keeping up the rhythm.
And because of this, Kricketune was boosting his allies, giving them cues and helping them coordinate their attacks. It was very clear that the Dazzlings have found a way to incorporate singing into battle, similar to what Vinyl Scratch does with her Pokemon by having them listen to music.
Opal's mane viciously swung around, trying to land a clean hit but it was only met with precise and on-point clashes from the opposing Pokemon.
"This doesn't make sense! You shouldn't be this difficult!" Opal Vivacity's mouth opened up as wide as it could, showing her vicious fangs as she let out a frustrated groan. She made her Mega Evolution increase the weight of her mane, trying to gain a weight advantage, only for that to fail the second Pheromosa intervened.
"Mosa!" Adagio's Pheromosa would kick away the heavy part of the mane, easily matching its weight with her stupendous strength and intercepting with her amazing speed.
"Kricketune!" Kricketune got the closest to Opal Vivacity, swimming past her vicious mane and clashing with it constantly before slashing at the upper part of her Mega Evolved Form.
"!" Opal grimaced as the slash that Kricketune pulled off was stunning, leaving a mark so deep in the energy that it actually opened a large part of it up., The water would start travelling through the mark as Kricketune's attack was followed up by Croagunk jumping on his head, using him as a way to get higher. And it worked as Croagunk got up close and personal with Opal Vivacity, powering up a Thunder Punch which was sure to do a lot underwater.
He socked the giant construct of Opal Vivacity straight in the face, making her and the construct bewildered. They both couldn't believe what just happened.
"Don't mess with me!" A riled-up Opal Vivacity yelled, unleashing another Fake Hyper Beam once she turned her Construct's head. And this one was right up in Croagun and Kricketune's faces due to how close they were.
But then came Moonblast which was boosted through the water thanks to Lopunny." Lopunny!" Lopunny kicked the Moonblast at full force with Close Combat, allowing it to move even faster than before. The Moonblast met with the HYper Beam that almost struck Croagunk and Kricketune but was interrupted by Brionne once more.
Opal growled as her eyes flashed red. She would take out her anger by having her construct's tail finally do something. The tail would extend, going around the giant Mega Evolution being as she finally managed to get a hit in. And that was by hitting Kricketune and Croagunk away, sending them hurling through the water.
Meanwhile, Rarity was having her senses healed by Vivace, who gathered up all of her Pokemon just so they can receive the healing as well. Her fins were on Rarity's face, gently touching them and giving Rarity something nice to be around. She couldn't feel much but she could tell something wonderful made contact with her. "It's alright, Rarity. I've had experience with my daughter's magic before. So I worked on a cure. A cure that I can create with my voice. Very soon, you'll be alright."
"Thank you, Miss Vivace. But what about your daughters?"
"They'll be fine," Vivace said while looking back at her daughters in action. "Those past months have changed them. I barely recognize them, honestly. They're brand new sirens."
"Vaporeon!" Along came Vaporeon's Hydro Pump which blended in with the water, seeming invisible. But not invisible to Opal Vivacity who saw it coming. She used her massive construct to move out of the way, evading the high-volume blast of water.
"Hah! Missed!" She taunted.
"Phero...Mo!" But that was simply something that Pheromosa used to her advantage. Adagio's Pheromosa would kick the Hydro Pump by getting behind it, unleashing a devastating kick that was powerful enough to reflect it.
Just as Opal Vivcity thought it was over, the Hydro Pump came back. The attack crashed into the back of her Mega Evolution construct which sent a staggering shockwave that even affected Opal herself. The Giant Mega Evolution was sent forward, perplexed by that back hit. But this would only set it up for another attack that was right in front of it.
"Lopunny!" Lopunny's Close Combat continued as she would unleash a barrage of devastating and fast kicks at Opal's Mega Evolution once it came her way. Each kick was so powerful that it shook the construct, slowly breaking parts of it off.
"Back off!" Opal groaned, using her mane once more. By touching her hoof with it, Fate was changed, sending Opal and her Construct far back so that they were never hit by Close Combat at all and all the damage done had been reversed.
"That mane's still a problem..." Adagio growled before smiling. "But nothing a good Aura can't fix."
"I can't believe. I'm being pushed back by them?" Opal thought to herself, feeling greatly bewildered by this development. This whole time, she's been getting the advantage on others, but all of a sudden, the Dazzlings shifted that in an instant. "Why are these three specifically so troublesome? I should be demolishing them like the rest of my prey! What is this all about?!"
"Someone looks like they're stressing," Aria said. "Where's all that Bravado you had earlier?" Can't handle our coordination like the rest."
"Yeah!" Sonata snickered. "I mean, she's a pretty big target, so we couldn't miss any of our musical hits at all! Except for that Hydro Pump one but it landed anyway."
"Shut up! All of your hits have just been pure luck! There's no way you're outdoing me like this!"
"You're one to talk about luck when you're rocking the most unfair power in the world in your mane. But you'll get desperate soon. Eventually, you'll have to use everything that mane has to offer and be as bald as a Voltorb. All we need to do is nullify that mane of yours and that will be the end of that."
"Mosa..." Suddenly, Pheromosa felt her vision returning. Thanks to the magic of Vivace who sang a soothing song for them, the horrible vision she gained was fading away. And instead, the natural vision she was so used to was returning. The same went for the rest of Rarity's Pokemon. The Curse that Opal put on them was being erased.
Vivace felt like the perfect opposite to Opal Vivacity and it only made sense considering she is her mother. The three Leavanny, Milotic and even Ampharos were being cured. Rarity felt the most relieved as the Pain Amplications that Opal put on her plus the fact that she affected all five of her senses was being undone.
"There. How do you feel?" Vivace asked, moving back from them all and letting them recollect themselves.
"A bit hazy...but I think I can manage." Rarity could see better among everything else. But the effects were still lingering. Vivace hadn't fully cured them but she did an amazing job as to where they didn't feel like they were suffering anymore. Clearly, Opal still had some sort of grasp on them.
"Hm. It's not yet fully complete, but I'm getting there." Vivace nodded. "I'm sure when Opal is defeated, those bothersome effects will disappear."
"Thank you. Now is our chance for a turnaround." Rarity smiled, seeing this as the perfect opportunity to get back in the battle and finish things off.
"Even without making a full recovery?" Vivace questioned.
"It's fine. Adagio and her sisters are working incredibly hard with their Pokemon. I can't let them show me up. Not since I and Adagio's previous encounter didn't end on a friendly note."
"Pheromo!" Pheromosa felt re-energized too. She pumped her arms, ready to swing into action once more. Ampharos would slap his face, sparking some electricity from his body as he was in the perfect environment to really let his lightning go all out. The three Leavanny had some strength left in them too compared to the others that had been returned. Milotic was in her natural habitat as well, refusing to lose in water of all places.
Rarity and her friends were about to make their own comeback. All the while, someone was approaching this room. In the far distance, rushing to the scene as fast as he could after seeing a massive construction of Opal's Psuedo Mega Evolved Form was none other than Fractured Note.
"If there was ever a time to stop Opal, now is a good time. I've been waiting for this moment for too long to try and stop my own daughter." Or more specifically, King Greyvine. The First Lich King and the Father to the Dazzlings and Opal Vivacity. This family reunion was only ramping up from here.
As the journey continues.
Chapter 186 End.
