Episode 3-18: Unleashed The Rocks!
Heya guys and once again before we get to the next chapter of the Reincarnation of Mother Gothel, I have an announcement.
Soooo you know what I said about her hair turning blue and yellow? Well I've been thinking about it for an hour and I decided to keep her original hair color because
1: The title literally says "The Reincarnation of Mother Gothel"
2: It ruins her appearance because I want her to look like exactly Gothel since my inspiration of creating Glory was from Mother Gothel from the movie Tangled.
and it's best for me to have Glory wore the sundrop flower and Moonstone Opal tattoos on both of her hands cuz two tattoos is enough.
To everyone that voted, I'm sorry for the inconvenience that I made for you guys. Now that's out of the way, onward to the chapter!
————————
Meanwhile at the Coral Sea, Glory's friends and Grim are facing off the Leech twins when Deuce is the first person to attack.
"Come fourth, ice! Seeiyaaah!" Deuce chants as he summons ice, but vanished.
"That Magic's never gonna hit me." Floyd nonchalantly sneers.
"You have no control! Hit them at least once! Take that!" Ace shouts as he shoots his magic at Jade, but vanished nevertheless.
"Fufufu. Just where are you aiming?" Jade taunts while smiling condescendingly.
"You have no room to talk!" Deuce retorts.
Later Glory is right behind them watching Ace and Deuce fought the Leech twins.
Now that the Leech twins are distracted, this is my chance to get that photo in the museum STAT!
Glory ponders as she nods with determination. Just as she was about to swim her way to the museum, her left hand suddenly glows causing her to wince and avert her eyes from the bright glow, but also triggers her recognition.
"It's here?" Glory mutters as she peers to the right and squint her eyes to see a bright blue glow down by the rock.
"The Moonstone Opal...." Glory mumbles as she slowly swam to the direction of the glow following the glowing left hand. Grim turns to notice Glory swimming somewhere.
"Eh? Glory?" Grim was about to go after her, but Glory turns her head and lays her finger to her lips as a signal to be quiet so the twins won't notice her. Grim got the message nod as Glory flashes a grin and swam to the direction where her left hand glows.
Grim watches her swam until he heard Ace stutters.
"You're kidding me..." He utters and Grim turns his head back to see him with a shock look.
"How could I miss like that?..." Ace ask in a muttered tone with his red eyes widened.
"Tch, outta the way." Jack scoffs as he shoves Deuce and Ace out of the way while shooting them a hostile scowl.
"I'll do it! Oraaaa!!!" Jack chants, but became stunned when his magic doesn't hit them.
"What!?" He gasps.
"Right before the spell hits them, it suddenly changes direction!? This is..."
"Eeehhh, you're really paying attention, Urchin." Floyd praises.
"Animals from land have truly great eyesight." Jade compliments.
"I'll tell you why your spells won't land at all. My unique magic, 'Bind the Heart'...It's a magic that gets in the way of your spells and makes them fail. Isn't it fun?" Floyd cheerily ask with a perky smile plastered on his face.
"Not even the slightest! That's just foul play!" Grim chides with a glare. Soon Jade lets out a sigh.
"...Floyd. Divulging everything about your unique magic is not something I can get behind." He dryly assures.
"It's fine. They still can't stop it even if they know about it." Floyd bluntly retorts.
Later at the other side of the sea, Glory shoves a bush of seaweed while her left hand is glowing until she winces and glance down to see something glowing underneath the sand.
"So that's where it is!" Glory gasps as she dives in and digs the sand until her grey eyes widen to see the Moonstone Opal laying right before her eyes.
"Wow...." Glory gasps as she carefully grabs the Moonstone with her right hand. Once she touches the Moonstone, her right hand glows within her right hand as the bright blue light emits.
————————
"Gah!" A woman with raven hair and grey eyes gasps when she pulls the stash heeding her horse as it neighs scrapping its hoofs against the ground.
Sensing its presence of the Moonstone Opal, the young ravenette woman pants softly twice before she lays her hand to her head.
"It can't be..." She mutters when sensing the moonstone's presence, but sits up and takes a deep breath and exhale out to regain her composure. Then she glance at her horse.
"We're heading back to Corona at once! Go!" She orders as the horse neighs flailing its legs to the air and gallops off back to the island kingdom where she once lived.
I have to report Raps and Eugene about this! This is a serious emergency!
————————
Meanwhile at the battlefield, Jade crept a gentle smile and lays his hands on his hips.
"Fine fine. I am pleased that your magic is cooperating with you today. I would be happy if it was always like this. If you're not in the mood then it doesn't work at all...Truly troubling." Jade sneers with a devious smile.
"Hurry, hurry, you better run away. If I catch you then I'll wrap you up in my tail fin! Who should I squeeze first?" Floyd ask with a dark menacing tone while smiling cheerily.
"Those guys are enjoying the hunt...! It's just a one-sided fight like this!" Jack growls.
"Eh?" Grim notice something bright behind him as he turns his head.
"Hm? Grim what is it?" Deuce ask as soon as they turned their heads, a sudden burst of blue light boom through the sea causing them to cover their eyes and wince from the bright light.
"Gah! So bright!!" Grim winces from the blue and yellow light.
"Ugh! What the hell!?" Ace shrieks.
"Gah! Where's Glory-san!?" Deuce shrills as he turns his head around with a panic look.
"Look!!" Jack shouts pointing his finger where all of them turn to where they widen their eyes to see Glory possessing the Moonstone Opal on her right hand.
***This is what the Moonstone Opal tattoo looks like^***
"Glory/Glor/Glory-san/Wildcat!!!" They all shout with their eyes widen as they watched their ravenette friend struggling to maintain its newfound power.
"Ack! E-Everyone get back!!" Glory warns them while trying to control the Moonstone as they blue gem sparks blue light from her right hand.
"Gah!" Glory wince while controlling her power.
"That's the Moonstone Opal!" Deuce shrieks while covering his eyes.
"Glory!!!" Grim shrills.
"Grim! Don't move!!" Glory shouts once more warning him not to go near her.
"She's right, it's dangerous! Get back!" Jack barks as he pulls Grim back to their side while covering his face from the blue glow.
"Ack! So..powerful...." Jack winces while covering his eyes.
"Damn, so this is why the Moonstone Opal is so powerful!" Ace shrieks.
On the other hand, the Leech twins are covering their eyes with their hands from the bright light.
"Ugh! What the hell is that?! It's annoying!!" Floyd screeches while wincing from the blue light.
"Gah!...I wasn't expecting that to happened..." Jade mutters while covering his eyes from the flash, but his twin brother scoffs.
"Who cares. I'm gonna squeeze her!" Floyd retorts as he swam towards her worrying his twin brother.
"Floyd wait!-" Jade tries to warn him, but as soon as Floyd swam towards her, Glory widens her eyes and that's when the blue glow emits through her right hand.
"Floyd no! Don't come near me! AAAAAH!!!" Glory screams with a feared look as she extends her right hand as a sign to stop Floyd from approaching her, but soon a bunch of gold rocks rise from the sand shocking Floyd and frightened Jade.
"FLOYD LOOK OUT!!!" Jade shouts as he quickly swam towards his brother and push Floyd out of the way as he takes the impact when he lets out a shriek of pain.
"Gaaahhh!!" He winced shocking is twin brother but also horrifies Glory and the group
"JADE!!!!" Glory shrills horrified by what she just witnessed.
"HOLY CRAP!!!" Jack and the idiot trio shrieked terrified by what they just saw.
Soon Jade starts coughing up blood squinting his eyes in pain as he clench his right lower abdomen.
———————
Later at the infirmary, Merlin and Vivien were soon our on their feet when they saw their precious child accidentally harming Jade.
"Holy Hellbound! Sundrop!!" Merlin shrieks.
"Moonchild!" Vivien screams.
"Oh gracious me! I knew this would happened! She was this close of trying to maintain control of the Moonstone Opal!!" Vivien panics.
"Vivien, grab my staff! We're heading to the mirror chambers STAT!!" Merlin shouts.
"On it!" Vivien complies as she quickly grabs his staff and hands it to Merlin, the small elderly man taps his staff twice to the floor and the cloud appears before him. As soon as he hops on to his cloud, Merlin slips his hood on with a serious look.
"Let's go!" He instructs as Vivien nods and both wizards bolt through the door and dash straight to the mirror chamber.
———————
Back at the Coral Sea, everyone was scared shitless after Glory accidentally unleashed the rocks and aim it at Floyd but was taken by Jade instead.
"Holy sh#t!" Floyd shrieks as he swam up to his brother with a worried look.
"Jade! I'm going to get you out!" Floyd shouts as he was about to grab his twin brother, but was caught by surprise when the rocks slowly burry down to the sand releasing the injured Jade.
Jade soon gasps as he fell into Floyd's arms.
"I got you Jade!" Floyd shrills as he glance at Glory whose right hand glows blue as her hand trembles when witnessed ceasing the rocks underneath. Horrified and guilty for what she has done, she kneels down and tears starts to flow from her eyelids.
"I...I...I'M SORRY!!" She apologizes doing a quick head bow before getting up and swim to her friends with traumatized yet guilty expression.
"Let's get out of here!!" Glory shouts as she swam passed them shocking her friends.
"Gah! Wildcat!!" Jack shrieks as he swam after her.
"Glory-san!!" Deuce shouts as he runs after her as well.
"Hey slow down!" Ace yells running after their ravenette friend.
"Oi! Don't leave me with them!!" Grim yells as the grey cat chases after the boys and the panicked Glory leaving the dumbfounded yet astonished twins behind.
"Lionfish...." Floyd utters while watching her swim away from him. Soon he glance down at his brother who is coughing up blood and wince from the pain.
"L-Let's leave F-Floyd...." Jade stammers while holding on to him. Floyd stares at him with eyes filled with pity before glancing back at glory with a face mixed with confusion and astonishment.
You really are full of surprises Lionfish....
Floyd thought before creeping an wide amused smile, but soon that moment died down when he heard Jade coughing again and glance back at his twin brother.
"Floyd....take me to the infirmary now! Gah!" He pleads while coughing up blood.
"Yeah yeah. I'm getting to it, just don't cough up more blood, it's bad for you." Floyd reassures as he lifts his brother up and swam from the scene while carrying his brother.
————————
Meanwhile at the Mirror Chambers, Glory and the group leaps out from the mirror where they all pant heavily from swimming.
"Huff, huff...Are you guys alright?" Deuce ask curiously while panting.
"Somehow..." Ace gasps shaking his head out of tiredness.
"I can't believe those guys were merfolk..." Jack mutters.
"It was like being chased by a shark, y'know! Swimming that fast is a coward's move!" Grim whines, but Ace scoffs at his statement.
"No way we're beating merfolk in the water." Ace retorts already exhausted from fighting the twins.
"But if we don't get our hands on that photo soon the Ramshackle dorm is gonna be taken away...and Glory will have to move in to the Octavinelle dorm as Azul's bride." Grim mumbles.
"Anyway, we need to come up with a new plan." Deuce suggests.
"Yeah. We should also talk to the self-proclaimed informant, Cater."
"Let's also discuss it with Ruggie and the others when we get back to Savanaclaw. But...."
Jack then spun his head to Glory who is kneeling to the floor covering her mouth with a dreaded look.
I can't believe it....I hurt Jade!
Glory thought with a traumatized look. Soon she looks back at the nightmare she had yesterday.
We will become one...my blood and soul.
A female voice assures. Soon the same words starts to echo in her mind repeating all over again.
We will become one
We will become one
We will become one
We will become one
While words repeat in her mind, Glory grips the hem of her yellow dress as her whole body trembles.
"Glory-san..." Deuce mutters with a worried look. She soon clench her teeth feeling her as she could feel her blood boiling through her veins.
"DAMNIT!!" She roars as Glory slams her fist to the floor causing a large gold rock to rise from the floor shocking her friends and Grim. Realizing what's she's doing, Glory let's out a sigh and exhale slowly through her nostrils regaining her composure as the gold rock slowly descends to the ground. Afterwards, she lays a hand on her forehead with her friends worried about her.
"Hey...Glor-!"
"Don't!" Glory shouts as she lowers her head, but Ace and the boys widen their eyes in shock when they notice a tear falling to her knees.
"Please don't...look at me like this....I...I hate people seeing me crying like this...." She mutters while lower her head down feeling her tears pouring down. The boys' heart drops when they see her cry.
"Glory-san...." Deuce mutters while hurt you see her like this. Ace grimaces when he sees you cry as he slowly clench his fists heartbroken by her cries.
"Glory...." Grim utters looking like a verge of crying.
"Wildcat...." Jack mutters while watching her sob.
Soon a flash of memory came from her mind when she remembered being picked on by kids after her poor performance on the talent show. It happened in the afternoon. The day after the talent show ended.
——————
"You look so ugly when you cry!" Bully number one taunts.
"Just like how ugly you sang!!" Bully number two sneers while Glory cries at the corner of the hall.
"Haha! She's a crybaby!" The female bully cackles mockingly.
"Crybaby! Crybaby! Crybaby! Crybaby!!"
As all the kids tauntingly chant the song while Glory covers her ears while tearing up.
"W-Why? Why are you doing this to me? I didn't do anything wrong!" Glory cried.
"Shut up ugly crybaby!" The bully leader retorts.
———————
"I can't be weak...I have to be strong! But..."
Soon Glory clench her fist against the ground while shutting her eyes not caring if her eyeliner is dripping down from her cheeks.
"How am I supposed to show others that I'm strong and different from Gothel if I hurt a student? Hell, how am I supposed to be Twisted Wonderland's future queen when I couldn't control my right hand just now? This is bullsh#t!!" Glory rants while sobbing silently.
"You are strong."
"Huh?" Glory spun her head with teary grey eyes as Jack strolls to her and kneels down to her level.
"Listen. What you just did isn't your fault, it was an accident right? So...don't cry. You did your best." He bluntly but directly reassures as Jack pats her head causing a tinge plunge into Ace's chest as the ginger haired first year clench his fist with a frown.
Glory blinks her eyes twice at him.
"Jack...." Glory mutters touched by his kind and reassuring words.
"He's right."
Soon Ace notices Deuce approaching the crying ravenette friend with a warm smile as he kneels down to her and pats her back.
"You failed to retrieve the photo and you accidentally hurt Jade. It's alright. We'll come up with a way to get the photo." Deuce reassures.
"But the good news is that you reunite the gems together so that's a plus!" Grim chirps, but Glory didn't agree and shakes her head.
"No! It's not a plus Grim! I just injured a person!" Glory retaliates as she grips her knees grimacing from looking back at Jade's face when he took the blow from the gold rocks back at Coral Sea.
"A queen shouldn't harm her people yet here I am harming my people just like how Gothel harms Rapunzel during her dreaded years at the tower! And someday or later I might hurt someone just like her!" She rants, but Ace won't stand for her to spout nonsense from her mouth and opens his mouth.
"That's bullsh#t and you know it." He bluntly retorts shocking Deuce, Jack, and Grim and Glory turns to Ace who march up to her and kneels down.
"Like I said back in Crowley's office since the first time we worked together." Ace reminds her as he takes a deep breath before continuing his words.
"Don't say stupid stuff will ya, it's embarrassing! Gothel's blood or not, you're still cool in our book!!" He bluntly shouts stunning Glory and the boys.
"Ace!" Deuce chides with a frown.
"Must you be so loud?" Grim ask dryly.
"You're asking you get a death wish are ya?" Jack bluntly ask with a blank look. Ace folds his arms with a frown.
"The hell I'm not! And why would I? I don't give a sh#t if people see you as Gothel or Gothel's blood or whatever they call you because no matter what I'll always see you as my awesome friend!" Ace exclaims stunning Glory and the boys when he said this.
"Ooo." Grim awes as he crept a huge smile knowing what he meant, but Deuce felt a tinge in their chests as he slightly furrow his brows at him. Jack can even sense his jealousy next to him yet he also felt that tinge that stings his heart but tries to remain tough.
"Ace...." Glory mutters with widen eyes filled with amazement moved by his kind words as the ginger lays his hand on to her shoulder.
"You're not gonna be like Gothel. You won't. You're different from her. You're confident, strong, smart, caring, cool, and badass woman who doesn't take sh#t from no one and isn't afraid to speak what's in her mind. So stop crying and stand up, you have mind and a heart of your own. Use it and don't take sh#t from idiots!!" Ace bluntly but honestly reassures shocking Glory as she remembered her mother's encouraging words when she was a child.
———————
You don't take sh#t from other idiots. You have a strong mind and heart.
———————
Reminiscing her mother's reassuring words, Glory kept listening to Ace as he ruffles his hair with his face flushed in embarrassment.
"...God I can't believe I'm saying embarrassing things right now." Ace mumbles before turning back to Glory.
"Just listen alright? You accidentally use your magic against Floyd, but Jade took the blow and f#'ked himself over. So don't feel bad. If ya see him, apologize to him." He bluntly reassures. Glory glance down twiddling her fingers with an unsure look.
"What if he doesn't forgive me though?" Glory questions with a mix of worry and fear, but Deuce shook his head.
"I don't think Jade-senpai would hold a grudge against you Glory-san." Deuce said.
"Y-You really think so?" Glory ask curiously though looked uncertain.
"Could be. I don't know if he will, but at least everyone is safe." Grim points out.
"Even though we're in opposite sides, I highly doubt he'll resent you for that. Like Ace said, it was an accident so there's a possibility that Jade and Floyd will forgive you." Jack assures.
"You still have two days to retrieve the photo. Don't beat yourself up. We all tried, but we're not giving up. Cuz no matter what happens to you, you're still the strong and brave Wildcat in my eyes. It doesn't matter that you're the reincarnation of Mother Gothel because I'll be the one who's going to pick you back up and I will not give up until we complete that mission." Jack reassures.
"We all will." Deuce correct him as Glory turns to the bluenette as Deuce smiled warmly at her.
"And we'll help you win cuz we're your friends." He told her as Deuce lays his hand on her cheek with a gentle smile.
"Don't worry about what happened just now. It isn't your fault. Right now, we need to hide that Moonstone tattoo on your right hand and take you to Merlin. We can't let anyone see you like this." Deuce instructs while caressing her cheek making her grin a bit and that irked Jack and Ace when he sees him caressing Glory's cheek. Grim shifts his eyes left to right to see their frowns with puzzled looks.
What the hell's up with these guys? Are they jealous or something?
Grim thought curiously while baffled by their strange behaviors until a familiar voice is heard in the hall.
"You don't have to do that Spade."
Soon they all turn their heads to see Merlin floating his way to the group along with Vivien.
"Eh? Merlin? Vivien?" Glory mutters with a surprised expression.
"Merlin sensei, Vivi-san." Deuce utters as Vivien approaches Glory and cups her cheeks with emerald orbs filled with empathy.
"Oh my poor sweet moonchild. Are you okay?" Vivien ask with a worried look. Glory stares into her emerald eyes creeping her hands to her wrists as she shakes her head with a small gentle grin.
"My friends and I are fine, but we didn't get the photo. I found the Moonstone Opal and I tried to control it, but-!" As soon as she tries to explain the whole situation without grimacing, Vivien plants a kiss on her forehead and caress her head to calm her down.
"There's no need for you to fret my child. You've fought so hard to control that Moonstone Opal, so please don't feel guilty for what you did. It was an accidental cause after all." Vivien reassures making Glory smile a bit before Merlin floats over to her.
"She's right Sundrop. In fact, we should take you back to the infirmary to calm you down while discuss the matters in our hands." Merlin reassures before glancing up to her friends.
"You boys should also get some rest and think about another plan. That also includes Grim as well so Jack I'm putting you in charge of keeping an eye on Grim while having a serious discussion with Sundrop. Understood?" Merlin informs them.
"On it." Jack nods as he lifts Grim by the collar and lays him on his shoulder.
"Wha? No way! I'm not gonna go back there without my henchman!" Grim whines.
"Just shut up will ya?" Jack retorts as he strolls his way down to the halls.
"No no no no! I don't wanna!!" Grim complains while flailing his arms as Jack carries him.
"We'll be going back to our dorm so we could think of a plan and Cater can help us too. Come on Ace." Deuce said.
"Yeah yeah I'm coming." Ace mumbles before turning to Glory one more time before patting her shoulder.
"Keep that smile for me alright. We'll figure this out tomorrow." Ace reassures and Glory nods with a small grin.
"Got it, thanks Ace." Glory thank him and Ace smiles widely.
"See ya Glor." Ace said as he and Deuce left the hall and walk straight back to Heartslabyul. Once they left, Merlin and Vivien turns to Glory as the tiny wizard pats her head with a warm smile underneath his bushy mustache.
"Come child, let's get you some rest." Merlin reassures as Glory nods with a small grin.
"Right." Glory replies as Glory and Vivien stand up from the floor, Glory, Vivien, and Merlin walk back to the infirmary to give their child a relaxing treatment for her hard work.
———————
Once they arrived back to the infirmary, Glory is sitting on the bed with Vivien caressing her head to calm her down while Merlin is at his desk placing two donuts on a plastic plate and pours a foam cup of cranberry juice. Merlin then swoops to Glory and gives her a plate of food and a drink.
"Here Sundrop. Two donuts and cranberry juice. This might not be a great combo, but I hope this would cheer you up." Merlin said with a smile as Glory smiles back and grabs the plate and cranberry juice.
"Thanks Merlin. I appreciate it." Glory replies as she takes a sip of her cranberry juice.
"I understand it's a rough day, but here's the good news. You've finally found the Moonstone Opal and you know what that means correct?" Vivien reminds her as Glory nods and puts the cup to the side of the bed before letting out a sigh.
"I know. It means I have access to activate the ultimate power of the sundrop and Moonstone, but I'm scared of how I would use this. Especially when I'm Twisted Wonderland's future queen while I'm holding the Excalibur." Glory said, but Vivien lifts her chin up until her grey eyes are lock to her emerald eyes.
"Your actions does not make you evil my child. You are your own individual Moonchild. With the the Moonstone and sundrop in your hands, you can use the power however you want." Vivien reassures.
"Vivien is right Sundrop." Merlin agrees as he hops off the cloud and sits next to her on the bed.
"Just like Rapunzel. You are connected to these rocks and with those two gems in your hands, this is your destiny that you mustn't turn back. You are a strong individual known as Gloriane Corbett, the choice you make is yours." Merlin reassures and that Glory shook to the core when he said that as a memory flashes before her eyes when she remembered the scene from Tangled the series when Varian confronts Rapunzel about her fate.
"Stop running Rapunzel, face your destiny."
As she looks back, Glory blinks her eyes remembering about what Varian said to Rapunzel before letting out a soft giggle making the tiny wizard baffled.
"Sundrop?" Merlin ask but Vivien giggled as well.
"Don't fret Merlin, besides you have something in your mind. Correct?" Vivien implies as Glory tucks her strand to the left while smiling a bit.
"Yeah...but it's not a bad thing. When Merlin said this, it reminds of what Varian said to Rapunzel when she was trying to avoid fate in the Tangled tv show." Glory told her as Merlin blink his eyes and chortles softly.
"Indeed. Varian is quite the strong individual despite his scrawny nature." Merlin points out making Glory burst out a laughter when he said this about Varian.
"So what if he's scrawny, he's still one of my favorite characters from the show. Besides, he has the smarts and the bravery, just like Cassandra and Rapunzel!" Glory chirps and both young adults chortle in response.
"That is true." Merlin agrees.
"Indeed." Vivien complies as the three chuckle.
"Speaking of which, you better prepare yourself when you see Jade and Floyd soon." Vivien informs causing Glory to be puzzled.
"Hm? What do you mean 'soo-'?"
As soon as she was about to ask, the door burst open and the trio turn their heads when Glory widens her eyes to see Floyd carrying an injured Jade between the doorway.
"Oi, plankton-chan. Can ya help me carry Jade over? My shoulders are exhausted~" Floyd whines.
"Plankton-chan. How original." Merlin sarcastically snarks with a tick mark throbbing from his head when called him that. Soon, Glory stood up from the bed with a remorseful expression.
"Floyd...Jade..." She mutters and the twins spins their head to see Glory here.
"Gah...A-Angelfish..." Jade mutters while wincing in pain.
"Lionfish?" Floyd ask with a puzzled expression where things in the infirmary are getting awkward yet intense at the same time.
