Previously on Infinity Orbs….

“Charlotte! Your hair!” Elinor and Maya observer. “I know, it’s blonde! Charlotte smiled. “Kami’s right. It does feel different.” Charlotte said as she created a giant wave. “Well, which is the next orb?” Charlotte asked. I opened up the book to see all the ingredients for the next one were electrictly based. “The electricity orb.” I smiled.

Now back to our story!

“You really love that new blonde hair don’t you?” Mavis asked. “Yep!” Charlotte answered floating on a water bubble. “You know you’re supposed to be using your powers for non-selfish reasons.” Kami reminded her. “I know, but what’s the harm using my new powers for making a water bubble to float on.” Charlotte smiled. “The gods blessed you Charlotte with a great gift, I don’t think they would take it too kindly if they find out your using your powers for trivial reasons.” Mei shortly explained. “Oh, calm down, what’s the worst that could happen?” Charlotte asked, and as soon as she did the bubble popped causing her to fall. “That.” Maya chuckled. “Shut up Maya.” Charlotte growled, getting up from the ground. “So exactly what will happen if we get all of these?” Elinor asked. “We walk up into the Veazanee, where they are, and beat the crap out of them.” Michael answered. “And then we would die. The Veazanee and dangerous people. They’ll do whatever it takes to get their hands on what they want. No matter how many people lose their lives, no matter how many tears are shed, no matter the amount bloodshed, as long as they Veazanee’s win, they could care less.” Mei warned them. “We can take em.” Mavis smiled. “Sure, even though you are one of the many chess pieces of their little game, your just gonna waltz right into their trap just like they want you to. You think at first you can take them, but then your knocked out cold and you wake up in a lab, strapped to a table while a man in a white lab suit experiments on you like your a test subject till they turn you into one of their personal soldiers where their only mission is to kill anything that stands in their path. Now Mavis. Do you really want that?” Mei explained getting closer and closer to Mavis face as they words fell out her mouth.

Mavis was no terrified to the bone, hearing Mei’s warning was the most scariest thing she’s ever heard. She was frozen, shivering like a leaf in a windstorm. “Mei, stop scaring Mavis.” Piper laughed. “I’m just telling her the truth.” Mei said. “Yeah, but you also scared the crap out of her.” Griffin chuckled. “She’ll be fine.” Mei brushed it off as though it was nothing. “Hey, you okay Roxy? You’ve been pretty quite?” Ethan asked. I didn’t answer because of two reason. One because I didn’t want to tell him I was kinda scared of what might happen if we do get all the Infinity Orbs. And two because ever since all the familiars left for no reason and just left a note saying. ‘We have some importance business we have to attend to! We’ll see you as soona s we can.’ I’ve been kinda worried that something happened to Sparky. “Roxy! Hello! Earth to Roxy!” Ethan yelled waving his hand in my face. “What is it Ethan?” I asked, looking down at the book containing the info about all the ingredients need to find each Infinity Orbs and info about each Infinity orb itself.
“Were you even listening to me?” Ethan asked. “Yeah, totally.” I answered, obviously I wasn’t listening to him, at the moment I think there’s more things that are important than listening. “Roxy.” Ethan started. “Roxy, ever since we left Poseidon's Lair you haven’t put that book down.” Ethan obversered. “Uh-huh, and?” I asked, I’m doing research! I wanna keep my friends safe. Sue me! “I’m trying to make sure we actually know what we’re gonna be up against when we get to the Pyramid of Anubis.” I shortly explained. “The Pyramid of Anubis? Why would we go there?” Logan asked. “Cause Logan, we need to get the Eye of Anubis. An artifact that is said to be the object Anubis is known for.” I answered. “Wait, isn’t Anubis the egyptian god of death?” Noah asked. “Yep. And I’m warning you now. You can’t say anything disrespectful to him. People say that he gets offended very easily.” I warned them. “I mean what the heck is gonna do? We fought gods before how is this guy different?” Liam scoffed. “Liam right. Even if he is a god, we have magic. No matter what type of magic he uses we can beat it.” Garrot smiled. “What’s this guy even like anyways?” Carly asked. “Well, for one thing he doesn't use the type of magic we use.” I started. “Well, what type of magic does he use. Ice? Fire? Water? Darkness? Deathe? Light?” Justin asked. “He doesn't use elemental magic. Egyptians gods and goddesses use Curse Magic.” I answered.

“Curse magic? They heck is he a witch?” Lexi asked. “No, he’s not a witch, well, it’s hard to describe him. You’ll see when we get there but he’s definitely not a witch.” I shortly explained. “According to the book: Curse magic allows the caster to curse another person through either blood contract or by ritualistic means. When a curse spell is placed on one or more persons, a place, or an object, it is usually followed by some form of adversity or misfortune. Sometimes as a result of a curse spell bad luck or death may and at some point will befall or attach to the said entity or the unfortunate victim, though it varies upon the technique used by the said caster. In particular curse magic uses supernatural forces or powers such as a spell, a prayer, an imprecation, an execration, witchcraft, a god, a natural force, or a spirit to inflict hurt or harm upon a specific target or object. In many belief systems, the curse itself (or accompanying ritual) is considered to have some causative force in the result. Due to the numerous sources of power that a caster may utilize in preparation of this magic, it is one of the most versatile types of magic that can be used.” I explained. “It doesn't sound that bad. It’s probably is just an exaggeration.” Michael guessed.

“Watch, you idiots get cursed by an egyptian god. And I’m just gonna be dying of laughter.” I smiled. “But seriously, don’t insult this guy. He’s pretty sensitive when it comes to insults.” I warned them. “What’s the worst that could happen.” Noah brushed it off. After walking for about 30 more minutes we finally reached Anubis’s Pyramid. It looked a lot like the Sphinx. “Here it is.” I announced as the guards at the entrance of the pyramid looked at us and let us through. “Lord Anubis has been expecting you.” The first guard spoke. “Thank you…? I guess?” I thanked, unsure if I was doing the right thing. The entire interior of the pyramid is so much different from the outside. The interior chamber of the Taj Mahal reaches far beyond traditional decorative elements. The inlay work is not pietra dura, but a lapidary of precious and semiprecious gemstones. The inner chamber is an octagon with the design allowing for entry from each face, although only the door facing the garden to the south is used. The interior walls are about 25 metres (82 ft) high and are topped by a "false" interior dome decorated with a sun motif. Eight pishtaq arches define the space at ground level and, as with the exterior, each lower pishtaq is crowned by a second pishtaq about midway up the wall. The four central upper arches form balconies or viewing areas, and each balconies exterior window has an intricate screen or jali cut from marble. In addition to the light from the balcony screens, light enters through roof openings covered by chattris at the corners. The octagonal marble screen or jali bordering the cenotaphs is made from eight marble panels carved through with intricate pierce work. The remaining surfaces are inlaid in delicate detail with semi-precious stones forming twining vines, fruits and flowers. Each chamber wall is highly decorated with dado bas-relief, intricate lapidary inlay and refined calligraphy panels which reflect, in miniature detail, the design elements seen throughout the exterior of the complex.

We then stopped at a pair of white marble doors with persian cats faces on the handles. As the guards opened the door we all entered to see the throne turned backward, a pair of legs hanging from the side of throne. “Whis? Is that you? For god sakes how long does it take to make some sushi here!” The voice behind the chair groaned. “No Lord Anubis. I’m here with the ones Hawkgirl told you about. But, I will send Whis here straight away.” The guard answered as he left the throne room closing the door behind him. We all bowed. “Thank you so much Lord Anubis for allowing us to make your acquaintance.” I thanked. “Your welcome kid.” Anubis said. The door then opened and in came a man carrying sushi. He is a tall, thin humanoid with pale blue skin, white hair, violet eyes and rather effeminate features. He owns a long scepter with a gem that floats above it, and is usually seen holding it in his right hand. Around his neck is a large light blue ring. His attire consists of a maroon robe, a black cuirass with the same white and orange diamond decorations as Beerus, and a blue sash. He also wears black high-heeled shoes with white spats. “Finally! Why did it take you so long to make some sushi! Where you catching the fish or something?” Anubis asked very irritated. “Sorry Lord Anubis. Lord Anubis. You have to face your visitors you know?” Whis sighed as he turned around the throne to reveal Anubis laying there.

Beerus is a purple anthropomorphic cat with golden yellow eyes and large pointed ears. His form is hairless and while overall defined in built, he is very thin and bony. He is of a similar height to Garrott, being slightly shorter, but his ears make him appear taller. He dons black, blue, and gold Egyptian-looking attire with the same white and orange diamond decorations. “He’s a cat?” Logan asked, trying to keep in his laughter. “Apparently.” Michael chuckled also. “Shut up you two.” Both Lexi and Piper scolding hitting them on the back of the head. He walked towards me. “So your…” Anubis started. “Roxy.” I continued. “Roxy yes! You remind me of someone. Her name was always so trickey of me to remember. Whis, what was the girls name that looks exactly like Roxy. God sakes! I can’t remember.” Anubis asked looking at Whis. “Rajendra.” Whis answered. “That’s it! She was a great women. She had everything. Brains, beauty, power, strength. Everything! She was amazing! Everytime we were on the battlefield she slice right though the enemies like a madwoman!” Anubis recalled as she pretend to sword fight with someone. “I said I was gonna marry her one day. But alas, she died. I died millions of times but being an egyptian god I go into a long sleep and come back to life. She was suppose to come back to life, but nobody knows where she was reincarnated at or what she looks like now.” Anubis sighed.

“Um, Lord Anubis.” Whis started whispering in Anubis ear. “Wait! No...it’s a possibility… are you sure?” Whis nodded and Anubis looked back at me and back at sword he was holding. “Roxy, come here.” Anubis said as I walked over. “Hold this.” Anubis said as he passed me a beautiful sword with a yellow handle with blue gemstones. “This is beautiful.” I gushed. The sword started glowing and shimmering. “Rajendra.” Anubis gasphed. “Lord Anubis, my names Roxy remember.” I reminded him.

But Anubis didn’t listen. “Rajendra!” Anubis cheered as he hugged her tightly. “I’m not Rajendra! Anubis! Please you have to listen to me.” Roxy barely managed to say with Anubis squeezing the life out of her. “Rajendra! My little Raj!” Anubis gushed. Finally, Roxy was freed from Anubis’s grasp when Ethan pulled her away. “Okay look Anubis. Roxy is Roxy. Not this “Rajendra” you keep mistaking her for. Plus, Roxy isn’t yours. She’s mine.” Ethan shortly explained. Whis facepalmed as Anubis slowly walked towards Ethan, like a cheetah going for the kill. “You obviously don’t understand, do you wolfie?” Anubis asked tapping him on the nose. Ethan grabbed his finger. “Obviously not, and don’t call me wolfie. Cat.” Ethan smiled. “I’m an egyptian god. You’re a low-life little werewolf. There’s a hierarchy in this world. It goes: Gods, everybody else, and werewolves. Meaning that, if I wanted Rajendra, that’s he name not “Roxy”, I’m gonna get her. Kapeesh?” Anubis smirked pulling Roxy back towards him. “No. Look, I don’t give two shits about the goddamned hierarchy. Roxy, is the one dating me. Not you.” Ethan said. “I don’t think so buddy.” Anubis smirked. “I’m sick of arguing.سواء البشرية أو القط. القط هو الإنسان. وسوف يتم لعن إلى الأبد جسم الإنسان!” Anubis chanted and after a puff of smoke. Ethan wasn’t ethan anymore! He was a cat! “What the heck did you do to me!?” Ethan yelled, but it just sounded like meowing.

“Well, now you’ll know what it’s like to be a cat! Plus, Roxy is all mine.” Anubis cackled. “Roxy! Roxy!” Ethan yelled but Roxy couldn’t hear him. “Guards! Get them out of here, and take that cat with you.” Roxy shouted as the guards pushed everyone out of Anubis throne room. “Nobody but Anubis can understand me. Wait! Maya understands me right? Maya! Maya!” Ethan yelled. “Ethan stop yelling.” Maya sighed. “I can't! Look Maya! Anubis is about to marry Roxy! I need you to turn me human again!” Ethan yelled. “Look, I’ll do my best but he said the curse in his language. It’s gonna take me time to figure out how to reverse it.” Maya sighed. “I need to become human again now!” Ethan groaned. “Okay, for the time being. We have to find Roxy and bring her back to normal before her and Anubis get married. I’ll stay here and try to find a way to get Ethan back to human.” Maya said as she picked up Ethan and started running. “Try to find her before midnight! Most egyptian curses become permanent at midnight.” Maya warned as she kept running. “First things first. We have to find which room Roxy is in now. Everyone split up.” Michael said as everyone split up.

Me and Noah decided to looking in the science lab for Roxy. as we entered the science lab there was no Roxy to be found. Suddenly, all the lights turned off. “Fairy light.” I chanted creating a pink light coming out of the palm of my hand. “Mavis...I don’t think this is a science lab.” Noah guessed. “No shit Noah!” I scolded. “Right you are Noah, this is no normal science lab.” A voice emitting from the darkness chuckled. “Show yourself.” I demanded. “Sorry, can’t.” The voice spoke. “Wait a minute. This is Roxy’s spell. Lightning doubles.” I gasped. “Right again Mavis! I’m surprised you figured it out so quickly.” The voice chuckled again. “I’m the one who taught it to her.” I said. “So you must know that there are 8 of us.” The voice continued. “Yeah, each double is a part of Roxy’s personality. It’s a spell only used when the original can’t break a curse their in on their own. So we beat all 8 doubles we get the real Roxy back.” I explained. “Precisely.” The voice confirmed. “Telling by the darkness you must be the evil part of Roxy?” Noah guessed. “Yep.” The voice answered cackling. “And if you really think I’m gonna go back into that boring Roxy you have another thing coming.” Spotlights then appeared in purple and 3 giant tiki head on the front wall. “We’re in my world now, and there’s no way out.” The voice from the darkness finally made its appearance, cackling again.

This Roxy is a slender dark-skinned girl with greeny yellow eyes, amaranth pink lips and long black hair with light gray highlights tied in pigtails. She has four dot markings on each cheek and has two violet streaks across her right eyebrow. Dressed in a similar style to her father's, she wears on the left side of her head a small amaranth purple top hat with blue feathers, a scarlet dress with puffy short sleeves, and a amaranth purple waistcoat with gold lining and buttons with red and green feathers on the left side collar. She wears fading purple tights with face patterns that resemble Shadow Demons (loa) and wears black and white wedge heel shoes that resemble her own fathers. For jewellery, she wears two golden vine bracelets around her wrists and a flower like medallion around her neck. “The names Darkness.” Darkness smirked. Suddenly, a round table wooden roulette table appeared. “Sit.” Darkness smirked. “Why?” Noah asked sitting. “Here’s how it’s gonna go. You beat me in a round of roulette and you’re one step closer to getting back “real Roxy.” if you don’t Mavis stays with me in the darkness realm forever.” Darkness wagared. “So, do we have a deal?” Darkness asked extending her hand. “Absolutely.” I answered shaking her hand.

I sat down at the table as one of the mini tiki persons gave me and Darkness a stack of roulette chips. Then the tiki man went to the spinning roulette table and spinned it, then dropping a small metal ball making it spin the opposite way. “Place your bets.” Darkness said as I put a small amount of the roulette chips on the white square next to roulette spinning disk. “I decided we play a special type of roulette.” Darkness smirked and before I knew it everything went black. “Blindfold Roulette.” I heard Darkness speak.

As me, Griffin, and Cat Ethan. Pfft, Cat Ethan. I noticed the entire library was pink and girly, like a if barbie threw up everywhere. “What the hell?” Griffin asked. “Everything is pink.” I gagged. Suddenly, a pink flash flew right passed me. “HI!” A girl in front of me smiled. “Roxy?” Maya asked. “Well, I’m a part of Roxy. But, I’m not the real Roxy. I’m Roxy’s passionate side. So, you can just call me Passion.” Passion has long hot pink hair in two low ponytails, porcelain ivory skin just like the real Roxy’s, and bright purple eyes. She wears pink-framed glasses. Passion's outfits are usually bright in color; typically the colors pink or yellow are included. She also has black dots under her eyes. Passion looked down to see Cat Ethan. “AWW!! Kitty!!” Passion gushed as she brought Cat Ethan into a crushing hug. “C-can’t breathe!” Cat Ethan struggled to say. “You’re such an adorable little kitty!” Passion cooed. “So, exactly how do we get Passion back inside of Roxy?” Griffin asked. “I remember reading in a book somewhere that you have to win the emotion, which is Passion, in a competition of some sort. Since Roxy is the one who got split up there are 8 emotions. Darkness, Passion, the one we’re seeing, Anger, Sadness, Joy, Disgust, Fear, and Trust. If we defeat all the emotions we get the real Roxy back and the incantation to reverse Anubis’s curse.” I explained. “So how are we supposed to defeat the one part of Roxy that doesn't like fighting?” Griffin asked. “Hey, Passion.” Me and Griffin both said delictaly. “Hi.” Passion smiled. “So, what about we have a little competition? You know to see which one of us is better?” I asked. “You’re not trying to put me back inside of the real Roxy right?” Passion asked concerned. “What...no...we would never.” Griffin answered. “Okay! What do you have in mind?” Passion asked. “Well, seeing that you basically made the entire library in a candyland forest. Why don’t we have a race around the forest?” I asked. “Okay!” Passion then whistled causing two unicorns to appear. One was blue and had purple, and pink in its mane. The other was pink and had blue and purple in its mane. “Ready?” Passion asked getting on the blue one. “Yep.” I answered getting on the pink one. “1..2...3...GO!”

“We got the last one.” I said into the earpiece. “Good. Meet us in the courtyard.” Griffin said as Mei and Carly nodded. Once we made it to the courtyard we saw Roxy already in a wedding dress standing at the altar with Anubis. “ROXY!!!” Maya yelled. Roxy looked towards her. Maya put all the crystals together making what seemed to be a rainbow mirror. “Roxy! Look at me! This isn't you!” Maya yelled as Roxy looked into the mirror seeing all the adventures her and her friends had. Roxy’s eyes turned back to normal as Ethan turned back into a human. “ETHAN!!” Roxy smiled hugging ethan. “Let’s get out of here.” Michael nodded as everyone started running. “Oh! Anubis!” Maya tossed a book towards Anubis. Anubis opened it to see a page dog-eared and an arrow pointing to an X on a map. And lababed in big letters it read  Rajendra. Anubis smiled and closed the book. “Thanks Maya.” Anubis whispered.
