Missing Magic
Meanwhile, the royal family was allowing their plan to commence. They left the palace because they were not willing to risk the people of Naboo's safety. So, they arrived on a remote part of the planet where there were no people. All biological members of the royal family went to this remote place, while Caroline, Padme, and Camilo, posing as Boba, were all sent to Escuela, where they would be safe.
"You're sure Lady Morpha will look for us here?" Lamenta said.
"Positive." Gabby said. "According to our research, most Doresho Gypsies like to roam in remote areas, and Lady Morpha will be a lot more likely to come after us if we're out in the open."
"Everyone clear on the plan?" Anakin asked.
The plan was for them to lure Lady Morpha to them, and then Remix and Carousella would use their magic to trap Lady Morpha since they were the only ones there with magic. And in case any of them were put under her spell, all the Jedi left their lightsabers behind to appear unarmed and replaced their weapons with spray bottles.
"Remember, it's essential that Crescent especially does not fall under Morpha's spell because he's the only one who knows you-know-what." Carmine said.
So, the group waited and waited. No sign of Lady Morpha yet.
"I wonder where she is." Lamenta said, filing her nails.
"I don't know, but now I wish I'd brought some cookies." Gabby said, her stomach growling.
"I gotcha covered, Princess." Carousella said, bringing out a granola bar for Gabby to eat.
Gabby munched on the bar as everyone kept waiting.
Qui-Gon sat and meditated while they were still waiting.
"I bet Lady Morpha's just waiting for us to fall asleep." Lamenta said.
"Patience, young ones." Qui-Gon said, not breaking out from meditation. "Lady Morpha is not as strong as she portrays herself. By forcing others to do her work, she only proves her own weakness."
"Weakness?" said a new voice.
The group looked up to see Lady Morpha right there before them.
"Lady Morpha." Anakin said. "At last we meet."
"A pleasure, my prince." Morpha said. "I believe you all have something I want."
"Other than a dress without tatters?" Gabby teased, noting the tears in Morpha's dress.
"Very funny, little brat." Morpha said. "I've come for something a little more... powerful."
Lady Morpha brought out the Vacuo Scepter and used it to lift the Skywalkers and Jinns up to her and prepared to drain them of their powers. However, she noticed something was wrong. Nothing was coming from any of them.
"What?!"
She tried again, and again nothing happened.
"Where is your magic?!" Morpha demanded.
"Here's some magic for you!" Remix said, and together he and Carousella blasted loud music at Lady Morpha, only for her to start flying again to avoid it.
But, the group was soon ambushed by an army they didn't see.
An army of wizards, fairies, unicorns, griffins, and many magical creatures Lady Morpha enslaved came along and began to fight the family.
The Jedi tried to use the Force to stop them and sprayed as many as they could with water. But, once the music stopped, Lady Morpha sent out more of her moths.
"Get them all!" she told her moths.
"Crescent! Get out of here!" Carousella exclaimed. "Go now!"
Crescent quickly managed to free at least one Equinaro horse. She was a pink alicorn with a curly blue mane and a white shooting star pattern on her side. Her name was Estrella.
"Follow me!" Crescent told Estrella.
While the two equines ran and got away, Lady Morpha had the royal family trapped and got five moths ready.
"If I cannot have your magic from you, then I will make you tell me where it is..."
Morpha had each of her moths hit a family member and demanded that they tell her where their magic was.
"Boba has our powers." Gabby said, under Morpha's spell.
"Good. Now where is he?"
"I don't remember." Gabby said, to Morpha's confusion.
"Where is he?"
"I don't know."
Morpha talked to Qui-Gon next. He said he didn't know either. So, Morpha asked Lamenta, then Anakin, and then Carmine. None of them knew.
"Prince Boba is the key to my plans. We find him, we find the magic." Morpha looked at her newest victims. "For now... you are all coming with me."
