67. Dark Magic

Luan has just left school and began to walk away, until Benny caught up to her.

"Hey Luan, are you free today I heard the theatre is doing a Monty Python movie marathon and I was wondering if you want to go?" Benny asked.

"Sorry Benny I can't, I promise my parents that I would watch over Lily." said Luan.

"Oh ok." Benny sighed. "Maybe next time." Luan begins to walk away when Benny's voice stops her. "Hey have you heard from Maggie at all? Nobody has seen her for a couple months." Luan tenses up as she tried to think of an answer. Of course she knew where Maggie was. Sort of. Last time she had talked to Maggie she was in Salem learning how to control her powers better while they found a way to rid of her powers. But of course she couldn't tell Benny that.

"No I haven't." Luan answered.

"I seen missing posters everywhere and it's starting to look depressing." Benny said.

"Well I'm sure she'll turn up." Luan assures him. "Listen, i gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow." She began to walk away til she heard someone running behind her. She turns and sees Lynn running up to her. "Hey Lynn. I thought you had softball practice?"

"Practice got cancelled after they found another burnes squirrel suit." Lynn said. "I think Lincoln had something to do with that. So what did Benny want?"

"He wanted to know where Maggie is, I don't want to tell him that Maggie is somewhere across the country, but I don't want anyone to get hurt because if her powers." Luan explained,

"Gotta agree with you there." Lynn said. "Has Lisa gotten anywhere with trying to figure it out?"

"No she hasn't figured it out yet, since she's a scientist." said Luan. "She's not Harry Potter."

"Yeah I know, but just give it time we can fix her." said Lynn.

"But it's taking forever." Luan groaned. "I promised Maggie that I would fix her but so far I've got nothing! All I got are bruises and scratches from fighting crazy supervillains. It isn't like we know a wizard or something." She then gasps. "Soothsayer! Of course! He might know how to fix Maggie!"

"That's a terrible idea." Lynn said.

"Soothsayer is a wizard and I'm sure he has a spell that can give Maggie her normal life." said Luan.

"Oh really, if he's a great wizard how did he get stuck in that staff?" Lynn asked.

"Who knows." Luan answered. "Look, science obviously isn't working. So maybe we try magic."

"Luan, snap out of it." Lynn said. "That plan is ridiculous. Plus, you don't even know if Soothsayer will even do it."

"Look Lynn, it will work." Luan said. "It has to. Plus I'm sure he'll say yes."

"No." Soothsayer said. He was sitting on the couch at the base next to Mr. Cuddles with Luan standing in front of him.

"But I didn't even ask anything!" Luan said.

"Good point." Soothsayer said before looking at Mr. Cuddles. "What were we talking about?"

"Nothing really." Mr. Cuddles answers. "She just walked up to you and you said no."

"Ah. I see." Soothsayer said. "In that case, what can I do for you my dear?"

"Well you remember my friend Maggie? You know the Shadow Mistress." Luan asked. "Well I was thinking that you would use your magic or make a spell or potion to find her and get her old life back."

"Oh." Soothsayer said. "In that case. No."

"What do you mean no aren't you magical or something?" Luan asked.

"Luan, I can't just snap my fingers and make someone's powers disappear." Soothsayer said.

"But you're an all powerful wizard!" Luan argued.

"But even my powers have limits." Soothsayer said calmly. "I'm sorry but I can't help you."

"Can't or won't?" Luan growled before storming off.

Mr. Cuddles was about to chase after her until Soothsayer stops him. "Let her go Mr. Cuddles, she needs time to cool down." Soothsayer said. "Just give her time and she will come to her senses."

"Very well." Mr. Cuddles said. "But you need to tell her the whole story on why you can't."

"I know my friend." Soothsayer sighed. "I will when the time is right."

Luan is sitting on one of the metal crates, still angry at a Soothsayer about him refusing to help Maggie get her normal life back. "I asked him to do one thing and he says no, it's not like she was born with her power." Luan ranted on.

"Tell me about it." Luan looks over and sees Cliff lying down next to her on the crate. "It's not like Soothsayer has done so much other stuff for you."

"What do want Cliff?" Luan groaned. "And what are you trying to say?"

"I wanted to sleep but rambling kept me up." Cliff said. "But think about it, all Soothsayer does is sit back watch tv, play video games and gives wise advice once in awhile."

"Cliff what are you trying to say?" Luan asked.

"What I'm trying to say is that when he's not doing all that he's doing stuff for you kids." Cliff said. "Maybe you're being to hard on him. He is a man in a unfamiliar time don't forget."

"Yeah I know, but I'm trying to give my friend's life back, if I can find her." said Luan.

Look just don't do anything stupid ok?" Cliff requested. "You don't want to do something you'll regret."

"Yeah yeah I know." Luan said.

Cliff sighs and stands before climbing off the crate. "Don't forget, he's still our friend." He then walks back to the base. Luan watches him walk away and thinks about what he said.

"Maybe i overreacted a little." Luan said. "But there has to be something i can do." She then gets an idea. "Soothsayer might not be able to help me but maybe his books can."

The door opens and Luan peeks her head and doesn't see Soothsayer or Mr. Cuddles in sight. "No sign of them in sight." Luan whispered to herself. She sneaks into Soothsayer's chamber and looked around the chamber.

"There has to be a spell book in here that can get rid of Maggie's powers." She whispered as she pulled books off the shelves. "How to speak demon? No. The magic of herbal medicine? No. Fifteen ways to make cheese. Didn't even think there was two but still, no. He has so many books and half of them aren't even magic!" She then goes to another shelf and sees a book on a podium with glass over it. "That looks important." She walks over to the glass when she hears a voice.

"Hello? Is someone out there?"

"Did that book just talked?" Luan asked. "Yeah there's someone here."

"Another voice to hear other than the other two." said the voice.

"What other two?" Luan asked before muttering, "I can't believe I'm talking to a book."

"The wizard and his friend!" The voice said.

"Oh you mean Soothsayer and Mr. Cuddles?" Luan replied.

"Yes. Please help me." The voice said. "I heard you have a problem and I can help you."

"How can you help?" Luan asked suspiciously.

"I'm a wizard!" The voice answers. "I was sealed in this book centuries ago by the one you call Soothsayer! My name is Izahr."

"I'm Luan. How did you get trapped in the book?" Luan asked.

"Release me from my prison and I will tell you my story." Izahr said.

"How do I free you?" Luan asked.

"Simple. Just open the book and you will free me from my prison!" Izahr answers. Luan nods and grabs the book. She hesitates for a few seconds before opening it. There is a flash of light that forces Luan to fall back. Once the light disappears, Luan sees a young man with short black hair wearing a black robe with a gi underneath it. He also wasn't wearing shoes. Luan also silently admitted that he looked kinda cute. Izahr walks up to her and holds out hand which Luan accepts. He then heaves her on her feet. "Thank you Luan."

"Oh don't mention it." Luan said. "So whatbwere you doing in that book?"

"You may not believe me, but I was a student of your friend Soothsayer." Izahr said.

Luan cocked her head. "His student?" Izahr nods.

"Yes. One of his first." Izahr responded. "He taught me the art of magic. Trained me for many decades to a point where i thought he would make me his successor as a member of the Eleven Masters. However, i found out that he never had any intention of doing that. So one night, he cast a spell on me and sealed me in the book where I have been for centuries."

"You were promised as a member of the Eleven masters but Soothsayer stabbed you in the back?" Luan asked and Izahr nods.

"Soothsayer was like a father to me and what did he did betrayed me." Izahr said. "But unlike him, I'm gonna help you out with your problem." Izahr looks at Luan up and down. "Let me guess you want to look pretty and get rid of the metal on your teeth?"

"Not really." Luan said. "I only got a year left with the braces and I already look pretty. What i want is for you to help my friend Maggie get rid of her powers." Izahr thinks about it and nods.

"Of course. But I need a spell book." Izahr told her. "But not any of these. I need one that has a picture of a skull on it." Luan thinks about it and remembers that Lucy had a spell book that used to belong to Great Grandma Harriet with the exact description and that she had it in a trunk.

"I think I can get you one." Luan said. "Wait here." She sneaks out of Soothsayer room and looks around to make sure the coast is clear. She only sees Lincoln in the main living area working with Soothsayer some meditation techniques to help with his temper. Seeing that they were both distracted, she snuck past them to the trunk but stopped when she got to it where she saw a little obstacle: Charles sleeping on top of the trunk.

"Yes Lynn, drop more food on the floor." Charles muttered in his sleep.

"Ok I have to get Charles off the trunk without waking him up. " Luan whispered to herself. "His nose will catch my scent if I go near him."

"No Lincoln, don't go. Don't go." Charles muttered. Luan then gets an idea.

"Sorry Charles." Luan whispers. "Charles, Lincoln is in trouble." Charles then shoots up.

"Lincoln!" Charles shouts before running off. "I'm coming buddy!"

Luan walks up to the trunk and opens it and looks around for the spellbook Izahr wants. "Ah here it is." Luan said as she picked up the spell book with a picture of a skull on the cover.

Luan sneaks back into Soothsayer's chamber where Izahr was waiting. "You got the spell book?" He asked.

"I got it." Luan said and presented the spell book to Izahr. Izahr grabs the book and flips through the pages. "Now you want me to contact Maggie or something?"

"Later. I have to go through this book first." Izahr replied. As he's looking through the book, Soothsayer walks into his chamber when he notices Luan.

"Greetings Luan." Soothsayer said as he walked through his chamber. "Oh hey Izahr."

"Hey." Izahr said with a glance. Soothsayer then stopped in his tracks and turned to face Izahr with wide eyes.

"Izahr." Soothsayer said. "You're free. Dear the gods. Children come in here hurry! We have an intruder!"

The rest of the Louds all enter Soothsayer's chamber. "Who broke in? Camo, Xander, or Hydro!?" Lori asked.

"None of them!" Soothsayer said and he points at Izahr. "That's the intruder!"

"Some guy cosplaying as a Organization XIII member?" Lincoln asked confused.

"I also want to point out that out of all three enemies you listed, only one is currently at large." Lisa pointed out.

"Guys, this is my friend." Luan told them but they didn't lower their guard.

"Luan, that is no friend of yours." Soothsayer said. "You must step away from him."

"Why So you can put him back in your book prison again because you refuse to make him a member of the eleven masters?" Luan glared.

"That's not it, Izahr has dark intentions." said Soothsayer.

"How do you know this guy?" Lynn asked.

"He was my apprentice." Soothsayer answered. "One of my first. I had started training him not long after the Eleven Masters were formed. Izahr trained under me for decades and learned quickly. However I learned that his intentions were not pure. One night he broke into the forbidden room that was full of cursed artifacts and dark magic items. One of our previous masters, Marida caught him in the act of trying to steal them. When I arrived, Marida was dead with Izahr holding the cursed blade that killed. Afterwards he escaped the temple and I went after him. I chased after him for centuries. He was the one who was behind Julius Caesar's assassination! He was the one who put the idea in the assassin's mind. I chased him for centuries until we reached the area between Europe and North Africa. That was where we both led armies into a brutal bloody war. That conflict is what know as the Crusades."

"The Crusades was actually a war between the two of you?" Lisa gasped.

"Only the first one." Soothsayer answered. "The others were for as written, the Holy Land. The battle ended with me trapping Izahr in that book. Which turned out to be a bad idea because that was my day planner. Didn't remember any of my appointments. And now here he stands, free from his prison. Luan, you can't trust him."

Izahr leaned down and whispered in Luan's ear. "Don't believe him Luan. He's lying to you."

"Luan, I told you about the Eleven masters who helped you train to defeat Jax. I know you are angry at my refusal to help your help but you need to trust not just me, but your family." said Soothsayer.

Luan looks between the two unsure what to choose. She then feels a presence besides her and sees her hyena spirit guide. "A difficult choice I see." Hyena said.

"Yeah. I don't know what to do." Luan admitted. "Do I trust Soothsayer or Izahr. I don't know who to believe because either one could be lying."

"Luan, you already know the answer." Hyena said. "Sometimes it's better to trust the devil you know over the one you don't." She then disappears. Luan contemplates what her guide told her. She then remembered how Soothsayer saved Lana and Lynn from Rampage and Lori, Leni and Lola from Carolborg and Sound Diva. She thought back to how it was Soothsayer that shut off the lockdown sequence when Mr. Cuddles trapped them outside so he could destroy Lily and it was Soothsayer who took the darkness out of the bear. She then remembered that it was Soothsayer who saved them after Irate separated from Lincoln and it was Soothsayer who healed her brother when he was critically injured by Rubbor. She remembers all the advice he gave them and how he directed them to the Eleven Masters. Since his freedom from his staff Soothsayer has nothing but guide them. She had her answer. She sighed and walked towards Izahr.

"Luan no!" Soothsayer shouts. Luan turns and smiles at Soothsayer and her siblings.

"Sorry guys." Luan said before facing Izahr.

"You made the right choice." Izahr said. Luan looks up at him and smiles.

"Yeah. I did." Luan said. Then out of nowhere, she does a flip kick that knocks the spell book out of Izahr's hand. She jumps up and grabs it. "Soothsayer is my friend and trust him way more than i trust you!" She then tossed the book to Lori. "Lori go!"

Lori nods and runs off while Izahr growls in anger. "I will not let my plans be foiled by a bunch of kids." He growled.

"We just ain't kids pal." Luan said. "We're the L-Crew."

"Not for long." Izahr growled before teleporting.

"Where did he go?" Lana asked.

"Probably after Lori." Luan answered. "Luna, go get Petty. Everyone else with me."

Lori ran far away from the base and she sighed in relief. "Ok I'm far away from the warehouse. But I need to suit up, just in case." said Lori, she then pressed a button on her watch and becomes Speed Queen. "Much better."

She begins to run off again when Izahr suddenly appears in front of her. "Give me the book girl." He demanded. "Now!"

"Hell no." Speed Queen scoffed. "You tricked my sister so I ain't giving you nothing except a one way ticket to the Dungeon."

Speed Queen takes a running start towards Izahr. "Levite!" Izahr shouted and a strong gust of wind is blowing towards Speed Queen.

"Aw crap." Speed Queen groaned as she tried to push through the wind only to get blown back into a tree. Speed Queen lets out a groan and rubs her head. She looks up and sees Izahr walking up to her.

"Give me the book." He orders. "Or die." He is then rammed to the side by Parkour who looks at her leader.

"Give me the book!" Parkour told her. Speed Queen nods and hands her the book. Parkour then runs off.

Izahr gets back up and notices Parkour has the book. "Roctear!" He shouted.

Parkour was approaching her ATV until the ground trapped her feet in case it in rock. "What the hell?" Parkour exclaimed.

Izahr approaches her with his hands sparking. "Give me the book girl."

"Um no." Parkour said before tossing the book up into the air where Firecracker flies in and catches it.

"Animilius." Izahr shouted. Firecracker was flying when he felt his body start twitching causing him to fall to the ground. Izahr walks over to see a wolf cub standing by the book. "The spell worked differently than I thought. But it should be easy to get the book.

"Yeah no." The wolf cub said before turning to the readers. "Yeah it's me Firecracker." He then growls and shoots a fireball from his mouth before igniting his hands, er paws and jumping onto Izahr.

"Oh god! Dear God! Mistakes were made!" Izahr shouted. While that was going on, Amplifier ran in and grabbed the book. Izahr throws Firecracker Wolf off him. "Cageid!" Suddenly a cage appears and Izahr kicks him into it.

Izahr locks the cage as Firecracker snarls and even tried to melt the cage. But Izahr puts a charm on the cage making it fireproof.

Izahr turns around and sees the book is gone. "Where's the book?!" Izahr shouted.

"Looking for this dude?" Izahr looks up and sees Amplifier with the book in her hand.

"Give me the book!" Izahr commands.

"Not happening dude." Amplifier said. "Now I'm gonna go down that old town road and bail. But you can have fun with my little friend. Oh Petty!"

"What's a Petty?" Izahr asked. Not long after he asked that, Petty comes crashing down in front of the wizard. "Oh. That's a Petty. You're not the only one who can call a monster. Sumonlina!" A portal then opens up and a large creature walks out. He resembled a tiger but he was walking on two legs wearing ripped pants. The creature narrows it's eyes and lets out a roar. "Meet Tigalis. Now Tigalis, take out that creature she calls Petty!"

Tigalis lunges towards Petty and tries to bite him but Petty smacked Tigalis to a car. "Big catman tried to hurt Petty." Petty said.

Izahr's jaw drops. His creature was slapped aside like it was nothing. "Tigalis! Get up and destroy him!" Tigalis gets up and roars before charging at Petty who launches forward and rams his body right into Tigalis. Petty then gets on top of him and punches him. Tigalis gets a hand up and catches a fist and punches Petty off of him.

"Petty's keeping that thing busy." Amplifier said. She then teleports behind Izahr and grabs Firecracker's cage. "Try to catch now dude!" She then flies off.

Izahr growls in anger and looks around for transportation. "Tigalis, deal with pink fool, I will hunt down the children myself." Izahr said.

Tigalis growls in acknowledgment but turns right into a right hand from Petty that knocks him back. "Catman no hurt Petty!" Petty shouted. Izahr sighs and begins to move away from the fight.

"Floaties." He mutters and begins flying.

In the air, Amplifier was making her way back to base with the book and Firecracker.

"You ok in there dude." Amplifier asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." Firecracker answered. "But you might want to hurry because he's coming!"

"He can fly!?" Amplifier gasped.

"Shoot him down!" Firecracker barked back.

"I can't my hands are full!" Amplifier said.

"Oh right. Don't worry I got this!" Firecracker then starts shooting fire from his mouth while Izahr flies to avoid them.

"Reletar!" Izahr shouted. Suddenly the cage that Firecracker is in disappears causing him to plummet to the ground. "It appears that you can either save your brother or the book? Which one will it be?" Amplifier growls but then sees something which causes her to smile.

"How about both." Amplifier said before tossing the book up and flying after her wolf brother. A few seconds later, the book is snatched in the air by a bald eagle.

"What?!" Izahr exclaimed. While that was going Amplifier grabbed Firecracker right before he hit the ground.

"You know you look kind of cute." Amplifier cooed.

"Not now." Firecracker groaned. "Wildgirl, get that book after from this guy!"

Wildgirl lets out a screech and flies off with the book in talons wth Izahr not far behind.

"We need a plan." Amplifier said. "We can't keep playing keep away."

"I believe i have an answer." They turn and see Soothsayer behind them. "I've already ordered Wildgirl to meet us at the base. Speed Queen and Parkour will meets us there."

"What about Petty?" Amplifier asked.

"If I remember correctly he has his hands full." Soothsayer replied. "Last I saw he was dominating the was in." He looks at the wolf cub in Amplifier's arms. "Who's your new friend?"

"Firecracker." Amplifier answers.

"Sup." Firecracker says. "Think you can change me back?"

"Indeed. Very simple spell." Soothsayer answered. "Chanigilis!" Firecracker wolf then glows and turns back to human. "We must make haste!"

Wildgirl is flying towards the base with the spellbook in her talons.

"Hand me the book or else I'll roast you alive!" Izahr shouted.

Suddenly a crystal flies out of nowhere and knocks him out of the sky. Izahr gets up and sees Crystal Princess with the rest of the L-Crew with her. "You ain't roasting anyone bub!" She shouts. Soothsayer then appears with Amplifier and Firecracker along with Speed Queen and Parkour riding in.

"It is over Izahr." Soothsayer shouts. "You cannot win!"

"It's too early to determine that old man." Izahr told him. "You never asked why I wanted the book in the first place. It's quite simple really. In that book there's a spell and not just any spell a powerful spell that spread to this world. Wipe out civilization as we know it. I plan on using that spell to do just that and then use my own powers to rebuild this world in my image." He waved his hand and a few dozen rock monsters appeared. Tigalis then comes crashing down beside them. "I plan on taking that book even if I have to pull it off your corpse old man." Suddenly a loud crash is heard behind him and he turns to see Petty arrive.

"Me not done with Catman!" Petty roars before running at full speed and tackling the large tiger creature.

"Children I will deal with Izahr!" Soothsayer told them. "You handle his creatures." The L-Crew nod and engage the rock creatures. Ms. Appear stays behind. "Luan?"

"Let me help you." Ms. Appear pleaded. "It's my fault he got out. Let me fix my mistake."

Soothsayer thinks about and sighs. "Very well then." said Soothsayer. "But you do what I say understand?"

"You got it." Ms. Appear promised. "Let's catch up for a spell!"

"Good one." Soothsayer chuckled. "Now let's go!"

"Right!" Ms. Appear said. Soothsayer raises his staff which then fires lightning at Izahr.

"Refletstra!" Izahr shouted which causes a barrier to appear and block the lightning. Once the barrier is down, Ms. Appear jumps in and hits Izahr with a forcefield fist.

Izahr recovers and glared at Ms. Appear as he summons two swords in his hands. "It's time to put an end to you and the old fool!" Izahr shouted.

"It's curtains for you!" Ms. Appear laughed.

"Luan! Turn your forcefields into weapons!" Soothsayer shouts and Ms. Appear looks at him shocked.

"Turn them into weapons?" Ms. Appear says. "But I can't!"

"You don't know that!" Soothsayer told her.

"Yes I do!" Ms. Appear said. "Master Kai tried to teach me."

Flashback

Kai stood on the sidelines as Luan battled several illusions based on the jestorbots. "Now Luan, turn your forcefields into weapons!" He ordered.

"Wait I never done that before!?" Luan said.

"You must. You need more variety in your attacks. Much like your material." said Kai.

"Ok but what do I do?" Luan asks.

"Mold your forcefields like clay and they will take form." Kai answered.

"Ok I'll try." Luan said and attempted to do something easy like a rod.

However nothing happens. "You're not focused." Kai told her. "Your mind is scattered and therefore not allowing you to morph your forcefields. Calm your mind and focus one thing. Don't think of anything else. That's enough for today. Go rest."

End flashback

"He tried to teach me and I couldn't do it." Ms. Appear shouts.

"Are you done with your flashback yet?" Izahr asked but Ms. Appear and Soothsayer ignored him.

"Remember what he taught you!" Soothsayer shouts back. "Focus your concentration!"

"I'm bored. Killing you both!" Izahr shouted before charging forward with his swords. Ms. Appear's eyes widen as she prepares for the attack. Suddenly Soothsayer appears in front of her and blocks the swords with his staff.

"It's now or never Luan!" Soothsayer said.

"Ok I can do this." Ms. Appear said to herself.

She looked around as she saw her siblings fighting the rock creatures. She saw Speed Queen do a handspring kick onto a creature before hitting a tornado kick on two of them. She saw Wildgirl as a grizzly with crystal claws slashing the rock creatures in half while Crystal Princess was behind her smashing the rock creatures with her hammer. She saw Parkour and Firecracker fighting a large group of creatures and as they fought they looked like mirrors of each other as they moved in sync with each other. She turned and saw Petty still locked in battle with Tigalis as the large rubber picked up the larger cat monster and hitting a powerslam on him. Luan took a deep breath as she thought about what would happen if she didn't do this. The thought of her family and friends flashed in her mind as she focused her mind.

Meanwhile Soothsayer was losing ground against Izahr who knocked him to the ground. "You're getting weak in your old age Soothsayer." Izahr taunted.

"You will not win." Soothsayer said defiantly.

"I already have." Izahr said. He points behind Soothsayer who turns to see Amplifier being swarmed by several of the rock creatures as well as Black Ice and Multiple Girl pinned down not far away. And right in the middle of it all, Greenthumb and Prodigy were surrounded. "Your friends are finished and you are done." He raises his swords. "Farewell Soothsayer! See you in hell!" He lowers his swords when all of a sudden a forcefield blade comes in between Soothsayer and the two swords. Izahr looks and sees Ms. Appear with two forcefield swords.

"No we're not done yet!" Ms. Appear shouted. She pushes back Izahr and she twirls her forcefield swords.

"She did it." Soothsayer whispered to himself.

Ms. Appear charged towards Izahr and slashed at the Evil wizard, but Izahr blocked the attack with his swords. Then parry the attack but Ms. Appear blocks again and slashes on Izahr's right arm.

"Damn it." Izahr growled before glaring at Ms. Appear. "Who do you think you are?"

"Who am I?" Ms. Appear said. "I'm Luan Loud. Daughter of Lynn and Rita Loud. Younger sister of Lori, Leni, and Luna Loud. Older sister of Lynn, Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa and Lily Loud. Third in command of the L-Crew, comedian extraordinaire." As she speaks, aura surrounds her body and takes the shape of a hyena. "I am Ms. Appear and I'm the one that's going to take you down!" She swings one blade and cuts off one of Izahr's arms. He let's out a scream before collapsing to the ground. "You look like you could use a hand."

"You won't win." Izahr said weakly. Soothsayer then stands up.

"We already have." He says. He waves his hand and a portal appears. "You have caused enough pain Izahr! I hereby sentence you to Dark Void! You will have no magic and you'll have no escape."

"Screw you Soothsayer." Izahr growled.

"No. Screw you." Ms. Appear said before kicking Izahr in the head sending him flying into the portal which is then closed.

Then the rock creature and Tigalis disappeared into thin air. "Is it over?" Muiltipe Girl asked.

"It is children." Soothsayer responded.

"I hope he enjoys the Dark Voic, I never want to see him again." Crystal Princess said.

"That's the point of the Dark Void Lola, there is no escape from the Dark Void where they are powerless there." Soothsayer said.

"Good." Crystal Princess said.

"Soothsayer can you bring back Tigalis?" Wildgirl asks. "Please?"

"Why so we can turn him into an ally?" Firecracker asked.

"Well that and I don't he always looked like that." Wildgirl said. "Maybe he was a little kitty like Cliff."

"Perhaps." Soothsayer said. "Could someone get Cliff first? Perhaps he'll be able to talk with him."

"I'm on it." Speed Queen said and ran into the base and came back with Cliff in her hands.

"What's going on? I was grooming myself?" Cliff asked.

"We're gonna need you talk to someone real soon." Ms. Appear tells him. "We think he might listen to you."

"Alright fine." Cliff said. "Bring him out."

"Ok." Amplifier said before turning to Petty. "Be ready in case something goes bad." Petty nods.

"Alright Soothsayer." Speed Queen said. "Do your thing."

Soothsayer nods and gets ready to cast the spell. "Sumonlina." Soothsayer said and summoned Tigalis.

"Is that Tony the Tiger and did he fused with Tigerclaw?" Cliff asked.

"We need you to ask Tigalis some questions." said Wildgirl.

"On it." Cliff said jumping from Speed Queen's arms and walking up to the large cat. "Hey how's it going." Tigalis snarls in response. "Eh I've been better. Had my grooming interrupted so there's that." Tigalis lets out a growl. "I know right. So inconsiderate." Tigalis looks at the L-Crew and growls something to Cliff. "Don't worry. They're with me. So what's your story big guy?" Tigalis then let's out several growls and snarls with several hand motions. After a few moments he stopped. "Sounds rough big guy. Stay here for a sec." He then walks back to his owners.

"Well?" Crystal Princess prompts.

"Well he definitely was something else." Cliff said. "He was saying how some wizard dude showed up and next thing he knew he was that."

"Long story Cliff, we defeated him and send him to the Dark Void." Ms. Appear said.

"Good to hear." said Cliff. "So what are we gonna do with him?"

"Soothsayer could turn him back to normal." Multiple Girl suggested. "Right?" They all look at Soothsayer expectantly.

"You think you can do it?" Luan asked.

"Well here's the thing children." Soothsayer said.

"You can try dude." Amplifier said.

"Very well." Soothsayer said. He holds his staff up to Tigalis who suddenly glows. There's a flash of light and once the light disappears they expect to see a kitty cat. Except it turns into a tiger.

"That was unexpected." Firecracker said. Soothsayer then drops to a knee.

"Soothsayer are you ok?" Speed Queen asked as she helped the old wizard to his feet.

"I am fine Lori. But here's the thing my magic has it's limits. When I use a lot of it, it takes up some of my energy." Soothsayer explained.

"Huh I always pictured you like Dr. Fate or Dr. Strange." Firecracker said.

"I wish I had their power, but sadly I don't" Soothsayer stated.

"C'mon. Let's get back to base." Speed Queen said. "Petty grab the tiger."

In the training area, Luan is sitting on a crate thinking about the events that went down.

"Mind if I join you?" Luan turns and sees Soothsayer.

"Oh not at all." said Luan as Soothsayer sat beside her.

"I that you are still thinking about what happened today?" Soothsayer said.

"Yeah. Now I can see why you don't use much of your magic." said Luan.

"Yes, everyone has a limit on what they can do." said Soothsayer.

I'm really sorry about how I acted towards you." Luan said. "I was so angry about something you wouldn't do that I forgot about all the things you've done for us. I was ungrateful and i want to say sorry."

"No apologies needed my dear." Soothsayer assured her. "I should've told you why I couldn't help your friend instead of just saying that I couldn't. Maybe Izahr wouldn't have been freed."

"True but if I hadn't gone and freed him you wouldn't have gotten your closure with defeating Izahr." Luan pointed out. "Plus you got your day planner back and Petty now has a pet tiger that he renamed Tongri." The two turn to see Petty sitting on the floor next to the large cat petting him. "Tongri is a much better name than Tigalis."

"I agree." Soothsayer said. "As long I'm not going to feed him or clean up after him."

"Luna thinks this will teach Petty responsibility." Luan said. "But I really am sorry Soothsayer. I hope I've redeemed myself by fixing my mistake."

"And I hope I've redeemed myself in your eyes." Soothsayer said.

"Yeah. You have." Luan said. "Everyone deserves redemption. Even two weirdos like us."

"Indeed." Soothsayer agreed. Unknown to them, a certain teddy bear was listening to their conversation from inside with a frown.

"Everyone may deserve redemption but not everyone are able too." Mr. Cuddles said sadly. "Least of all me." He then sadly walks away.

Later that night, Soothsayer sat in his chambers meditating when he felt a disturbance. "A vision? It's been a while." He closes his eyes and when he opens them he sees that he's in the base. Confused he looks around where he sees the L-Crew standing in fighting positions. He looks to where they're staring and he sees the L-Crew? "What is this? Two L-Crews? This makes no sense. The vision then ends with the two sets of L-Crews charging at each other. Soothsayer opens his eyes and sees he's back in his chambers. "What was that?"
