Vision & Evacuation
Back in the Encanto, Pepa was worried out of her mind about Camilo. They hadn't heard from them in what felt like days and days to her. And it was making a lot of clouds appear in the area. Mila, however, tried to calm her down by having her do yoga with her outside in the yard.
"Okay, Tia. Breathe in..." Mila guided her aunt through the breathing. "And out. Good. Now, we pose. Like a strong, beautiful tree."
The yoga seemed to help Pepa calm down a little. Mila herself felt pretty relaxed too. Even Chika was looking relaxed in her downward doggie position.
"Mila!" a voice called out, scaring Mila out of her position, and making Pepa nearly strike the kids with lightning.
And out from the Casita came Boba and Omega.
"Oh, Boba. What a nice surprise." Mila greeted. "Tia Pepa, this is Boba. One of Anakin's kids." Then she noticed the new faces. "Crescent, I recognize, but who are your new friends?"
"I'm Estrella." Estrella introduced.
"And this is my sister Omega." Boba introduced. "Omega, this is Milagro Madrigal. Mila for short."
"Nice to meet you." Omega said.
"Nice to meet you too."
Mila noticed Boba looked troubled. She asked him why he was there.
"Do you know sign language?" Boba asked.
"Yes, I do. Why?"
Boba explained to Mila what happened to his family back home and that Lady Morpha was going to have herself crowned queen in four days. Then he brought out his tablet and showed Mila the video of Carmine doing sign language.
"We don't have anyone else we can turn to right now. Can you translate what he's saying? Please?"
Mila took a look at the video and watched carefully. Then she translated.
"He's saying...'Find Aqualia. Her family holds the map to the river of memory.'"
"Who's Aqualia?" Omega asked.
"She's a mermaid princess from Pearlaqua." Boba said. "Lady Morpha couldn't get to the mermaid kingdoms because her moths can't handle water."
"I'm coming too." Mila said.
"What?!" Boba said. "No, Mila. It's dangerous, and Lady Morpha is set on conquering any place she can. She put your sister in danger once, and she might get you too."
"Which is why I wanna help. This is personal." Mila said. "And, you're not gonna be able to do this alone. You're gonna need help."
Meanwhile, Bruno was having another vision.
He could see Lady Morpha having a ceremony with the Solaris royal family getting ready to crown her, and many people were enslaved. It didn't look good. And then he saw Omega in trouble, and Boba jumping in and pushing her out of the way. And then... he saw the Jedi Temple and Lady Morpha casting a horrible spell that made the Temple... explode!
Bruno immediately got up. He had to warn the Jedi!
But just as he rushed downstairs, he bumped right into Mirabel and almost knocked both of them down. Luckily, Mila caught them with her telepathy.
"Papa, what did you just see?" Mila said.
Bruno noticed Boba. "Boba, where are your parents?"
"Most of my family is under Lady Morpha's spell, just like in your vision." Boba said. "And this is Omega, my sister. I know who she is now. But, did you or did you not have a vision?"
"I did. The Jedi are in danger. We have to warn them now." Bruno said.
"What kind of danger?" Omega asked.
"No time to explain. We have to go."
"And we need all the help we can get." Mila said. "Crescent, take my father to the Temple and warn the Jedi of the upcoming danger. We'll gather any other Madrigals willing to help. Boba, do you think you can get in touch with Tech and the other Batchers?"
"I can try." Boba said.
"We've got answers to find. If Doresho Gypsies have been defeated before, this one can be defeated now."
"Bruno," said Boba. "Tell the Jedi that they'll be safe from Morpha if they wear glasses of some sort and carry water to spray in the face of anyone under her spell."
"Okay..." Bruno said.
Some Jedi Council members were now in a meeting regarding what was happening now. The Chancellor was dead, but the Galaxy was still in turmoil. Magical creatures were drained of their powers, those who hadn't had their magic drained were trapped on Escuela, and their poster boy and his family were all under his spell... or so they thought.
Obi-Wan showed them the footage and told them Carmine didn't appear to be affected by the spell, but he couldn't make out quite everything Carmine was saying.
"A predicament, this is." Yoda said. "What to do next, I am uncertain."
That was when a bright flash entered the room, and Crescent appeared with Bruno on his back.
"The Temple is in danger!" Bruno exclaimed.
"Bruno?" said Mace. "What are you doing here?"
"Boba came to us. I had another vision!" Bruno said. "Lady Morpha is going to blow up the whole Temple. You all have to get out now!"
The Council was in utter disbelief about this... until Bruno showed them the vision.
"Boba and some friends are working to get all the help we can right now." Crescent said. "They're gonna find out how we can defeat Lady Morpha for good. But we have to get all of you to safety first."
"Boba will need our help as well." Obi-Wan said. "We'll start evacuations immediately. Is there anything else we should know?"
"Yes. Boba said Lady Morpha's moths apparently don't affect you if you wear glasses. So, maybe get some glasses or goggles or something that covers your eyes. And water breaks victims out of the trance."
The Council looked at Master Yoda.
"Our biggest challenge, this may be. Evacuate the Temple immediately!"
Boba and Omega got some of the Madrigals through the mirror and recruited as many people as they could. They didn't have much time before the coronation ceremony.
Luckily, Boba saved the Bad Batch's comm frequency and managed to send a message to them, telling them they needed their help. And then, Boba and Omega got onto Estrella's back.
"Fantasia once said the safest way to Pearlaqua was from the waters at the West edge of Equinaro." Boba said. "We need to transport there so we can transform into merpeople and swim to Aqualia's house."
"You're sure they'll be able to help?" Omega said.
"My grandpa memorized that song about the river for years, and so did my uncle." Boba said. "According to what Ahsoka has read more recently, that song is part of a legend that it would hold the answers those brave enough to find it sought."
"Are you both sure you can travel there by yourselves?" said Mila.
"Yes, Mila. We need you to meet the others." Boba said. "Besides, I didn't bring enough magical pearls for all of us to breathe underwater."
"Okay, Estrella. Ready?" said Omega.
"Ready when you are, amiga." said Estrella.
"Just like we practiced, sis." Boba said.
And Omega snapped the reins, signaling Estrella to run. Thus, she ran and got the twins all the way to Equinaro's beach.
Now, it was time to swim.
Boba transformed and so did Omega, and so did Estrella with the last pearl Boba had. And together, they swam deep into the water to find Aqualia and the answers they needed.
Meanwhile, the Jedi quickly began evacuations of everyone in the Temple, starting with the younglings. They got into contact with someone from Escuela to get clearance to send their friends there, and loaded ship after ship to get everyone out quickly.
Unfortunately, Bruno's vision didn't tell them exactly how much time they had.
"I hope we have enough time to get everyone out." Peppermint said.
"So do I, Peppermint. So do I." said Obi-Wan. "In the meantime, we must do what we can to stop the coronation and defeat Lady Morpha."
"Why don't we just fight her already?"
"Because we don't know how yet. Water does seem to repel her, and so does loud noise. But those effects are temporary. As long as she makes even more moths and can enslave new victims, we cannot get close enough to defeat her. Right now, it's up to Boba to protect what may be the only magic powerful enough to do so."
