EP.170|Wisteria Dancers
_________________________________________

"Well, at least we got the border," Evie said, hiding in the bushes with the VKs and Cosmina "but getting you past it might be harder than I thought."

"I thought you specialized in this Evie!" Cosmina whispered loudly. "I do, it's just, the borders I would sneak people over weren't over 60 ft." Evie faceplamed.

"Just think of it as the Villain and Hero border, just 3x as tall." Jasper suggested. "Oh yeah, easy for you guys to say! I don't think you ever had to climb over a 60 ft wall!" Evie scolded.

"Why don't you just use the purple dust to make them knock out?" Carlos suggested. "I would but look at their mask," Evie pointed to the guards mask over their "those mask protects them from any type of sleeping or other effect dust."

"Hey, Evie, take a look." Hunter passed her the binoculars, Evie looked through them to see what seemed to be a tour bus "Wisteria Dancers?" Evie looked at the symbol suspiciously."They can help us! Come on Evie." Cosmina grabbed Evie's hand, the VKs and the princess sealed onto the back of the truck.

"Open up." Cosmina knocked on the bus door. The door opened to reveal a beautiful women with tan skin, black and red hair, brown eyes, she wore a beautiful silk robe with flower designs on with and a black bodice under it.

"Delia!" Cosmina cheered. "Cosmina! What are you doing here, you're supposed to be at the castle." Delia opened accepted her hug, she looked over her shoulder to see the VKs.

"Hello Miss Delia, I'm Evie, that's Carlos, Jasper, and Hunter." Evie introduced. "You're the VKs the crazy dragon talked about." Delia muttered but they heard her.

"Maleficent's here?" Jasper questioned as Delia nodded, letting the group inside. Once inside, the VKs noticed the dancers were of the male exotic kind.

"Boys, these are the VKs, they're escorting Princess Cosmina to Antoine's castle." Delia introduced. "Um, Cosmina," Hunter whispered, getting the Princess' attention "when you said 'dancers', I think you forgot to mention they're male."

"Is that a problem?" Delia glared at him. "No-Not at al-all Miss Delia." Hunter shivered.

"Good, now, Princess and Crystal Girl, you're with me." Delia stated, walked to the back of the bus with Evie and Cosmina "boys, stay here and try to get along, my Flowers don't bite," she grew a devious smile "much"

For a moment, all the boys were silent, until Carlos with his innocent self spoke "hi! I'm Carlos DeVille."

"Awe! He's so cute!" one of the youngest of the 3 boys spoke.

He was a young man of short stature with blue eyes and medium-length messy blond hair. His hair is long enough to cover both his ears and forehead.

Her wore a white long sleeve dress shirt with a black bow tie and a black pants.

"I'm Levi!" the happy go lucky blonde introduced "you're an animalistic right!"

Carlos turned into a wolf, scratching behind his ear "you one too?"
Levi nodded and turned into a jaguar. The two smiled brightly and started play fighting.

"Levi! What are you doing?! You're gonna mess us the bus again! I'm not using my earnings to pay for the damage." the boy at the bar scolded, Levi pouted and stopped westling with Carlos.

"You're no fun Milo." Levi muttered.

Milo is a man with a lean build and two different colored hair, a light grey hair at the top, black hair at the sides.

Additionally, he also sports a black mohawk. One of his facial signatures is a straight line mark surrounded by three pairs of dots on his left forehead.

Milo sports a white dress shirt covered by a navy leather jacket and black trousers. In addition, his jacket covers half of his torso.

"Let em be, animalistics are to mindless to do anything but wrestle." Brazzan said, taking over Hunter's body before giving him back control.

"You're the vessel everyone's talking about? Hunter, right?" Milo asked, Hunter shook Milo's extended hand. "Nice to meet ya, Milo" Hunter could smell traces of demon on him "you're a vessel to?"

Milo nodded "Gustina, she's the air demon vessel."

"And who is this?" A high pitch but rude voice scolded. Hunter looked at Milo's shoulder to see a small pixie perched upon it.

She was no bigger than a person's finger, she had than skin, blue eyes, wavy blonde hair and wore a blue dress.

"Hunter, this is Tabia, she's Gustina's friend and personal assistant, so I'm kinda stuck with her." Milo explained.

"Stuck with me?!" Tabia got close to Milo's face "I'll have you know that many vessels pay to has Gustina as their demon!"

"Yes, they pay to has Gustina as their demon," Milo flicked Tabia, making the pixie fall into a pile of paper cups "not her little assistant."

Tabia gumbled "I don't get paid enough for this."

Jasper glared at the eldest dancer.

"Kuno Ababwa." Jasper gritted through his teeth.

He is a young man of average height with a lean build, amber eyes, and messy black hair. His main outfit consists of a pitch-black shirt with a high collar and long sleeves

"Surprised to see me?" he spoke, Jasper stayed silent.

A fiery aura erupted from Jasper. Carlos could sense his magi aura, there was more black than white now and his magi was off the charts!

Him and Levi hid behind Hunter and Milo, it was almost like Jasper turned into a whole different person.

"What are you doing here?" Jasper scrunched up his fist. "Well Jasper, I'm part of the Wisteria Flower Dancers, so I have to be on the bus, you on the other hand," Kuno flicked Jasper's forehead "are a stowaway."

Jasper was trying with all his might to hold back from burning Kuno down to ashes.

A devious smirk appeared on Kuno's lips "but, I'm sure you VK boys are used to that."

"You just fucking had to come back, didn't you?" Jasper's voice was deep and dark. "Come on Jasper, you know you missed me." Kuno ruffled his hair.

Jasper chuckled sarcastically "miss you?" he scoffed "please, my life was perfectly fine without you in it."

"I gave you everything Jasper, don't forget that." Kuno reminded him. "What you gave me was pain and suffering, you hurt my friends, my family, even my baby sister!"

"Serenity..." Carlos and Hunter muttered.

Serenity "Raja" Damoola.

Jasper late little sister.

"She was dispensable." Kuno shrugged.

Jasper looked up at Kuno, fire in his eyes, rage in his heart.

Just by seeing Kuno, Jasper was pissed, but when he mentioned Serenity, Kuno crossed the line.

Now he was gonna pay.

Eddie groaned, her eyes adjusting to the new lightning, she sat up and looked around to see Maleficent sipping on a martini "you would think a demon would know how to mix a good martini." the demonic dragon muttered.

"Miss Maleficent?" Eddie said, grabbing her attention. "Took ya long enough, you were out for a while." Maleficent commented.

"How long?" Eddie swinged her legs over the side of the cot she laid on. "I'd probably say fou-" Maleficent stopped when Eddie started glitching.

It was almost like Eddie's body was pixelating and then materalizing itself over and over again. Maleficent watched as the glitching finally stopped after several painful minutes for the robot.

"What in the world was that?" Maleficent questioned. "My circuits don't do too well around large amounts of dark magic." Eddie sighed, slowing moving her fingers.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, we were fighting Argyles for gods sake." the dragon placed her drink, walking to sit beside Eddie.

"I didn't want to disappoint you." Eddie muttered, hanging her head low. "Disappoint me? Eddie," Maleficent unexpedly bring her in close, between the valley of her chest "if it weren't for you, I would be dead."

"Maleficent...!" Eddie murmured through Maleficent's cleavage"I can't...move!"

"Please Eddie, it's rude to interrupt."

"But-"

"Did you know, Eddie, I think of you as my second daughter."

Eddie stopped struggling and looked up at Maleficent "s-ser-seriously...?"

"Well yeah, ever since Mal left for the Grail Hunt, I was going through a withdrawal, but when I was carrying you to the bus, it reminded me of when I would carry Mal back from school when she was a little girl." Maleficent said, surprising the robot.

I'm...a daughter...

"Thanks, Miss Maleficent..." Eddie muttered through Maleficent's cleavage.

"Just call me Maleficent, alright? Miss Maleficent makes me sound like I'm your boss." Maleficent laughed.

Evie smiled, standing at the doorway, watching the happy moment.

She hoped she would have times like those with Raja after the Grail Hunt was done.

"Don't worry, you will." Cosmina said, surprising Evie. "How'd you-" "I can read thoughts," Cosmina looked down at the crystals, "I think it's one of the Shards abilities."

Delia stopped when she heard Cosmina mention the shards, peeking behind the corner.

"The...shards..." Evie stared at the shards intensively, her breathe even quickened, it was almost like the shards we're begging to be with her.

Evie...we serve you... they echoed in her head, she bit her lip, we need you...Evianna...

"They...need...me..." Evie mumbled ever so slightly, inching her hand closer and closer to Cosmina's necklace.

"That's it Evie...just grab the shards...bring back the power...we once had..." this voice in Evie's head sounded feminine, and oddly familiar.

"Our...power..."

Evie snapped out of her thoughts when a loud crash was heard from the lounge area.

Her, Maleficent, Eddie, and Cosmina ran towards the sound to see Jasper pinning Kuni against the bar.

"Say it again! I fucking dare you to say that again!" Jasper yelled, his hands coated with fire, locking the around Kuno's neck.

"Serenity...was...dispensable..." Kuno croaked, struggling to breathe.

To this day, Jasper's never known anger like this, it was almost like there was a white, hot, burning, inferno inside of him.

"I think...you should...focus...on your girl...instead of me..." Kuno pointed to the shaking blueberry behind Jasper.

"No...I left...she got me out...no..." she fell to her knees "wake up...wake up...wake up, Evie!" she closed her eyes shut, convincing herself she was dreaming and the man who caused her childhood trauma wasn't in front of her.

"What did you do to her?!" Jasper's hand tightened around Kuno's neck. "You don't...know?" even when facing Jasper, a man who burnt Raymond to a crisp, he still managed to smirk.

"Know what?" Jasper leaned in closer, the flames between the two rivals intensifying "and you better answer quick."

Kuno stayed quiet, he wanted to see how far the Lava Scorch magi's rage would go "I said answer quick." Jasper snarled, his hazel iris growing smaller and turning red, forming into a thin almond shape.

Kuno eyes widened slightly. What...the fuck...Jasper can't be... he looked at Jasper's arms, red scales peppering his skin.

A dragon?!
