On the floating top two levels of the prytamaid, Grindlewald and Albus were back at it. 

"I've been fine without you! I loved the person you were, and that person has died, and I mourn him!" Albus yelled.

Grindlewald just laughed. "I once loved you, Albus, but no one will mourn the beast you've become." 

They case a spectaular away of spells. Lightining shoots from their wands, and pulled off course by the Quetzalboros, richoets into space. The ground blurs beneath their feet. Grindlewald gets a lucky shot onto Dumbledore sending flying towards the Quetzalboros. The Quetzalboros's gravitaty pulls Dumbledore towards it, and, angling himself, Dumbledore lands both feet on the scaly body, upside down. He runs along it's spine around the circle, casting spells at Grindlewald. Grindlewald shrieks and shots rapid-fire spells at the anti-gravity Dubmledore, but the Quetzalboros's field of energy just sends them shooting right back at him. ITS NUTS!

On the lower levels, everyone stops to collect themselves. The flying top of the temple is already a hundred feet above the ground. Ajax is the first to speak. "I want to save the world...but not like this..." He then calls the stone dragon over, and says "Use this to get up there and stop them!" Newt nods and moves to get onto the dragon, but Ajax took his arm.

"Wait- that Jacob person isn't down here is he?" SUddenly Ajax looks very nervous. 

Newt frowns. "Sure he is, why? He's nothing to be afraid of."

Ajax looks more terrified than when he first saw the Quetzalboros. He swallows several times, and is pale and shaking. His vision blury. Jacob's near. He's here! I need to run!

He starts to open his mouth when he gets interrupted by a voice behind both of them.

"I bet you didn't expect to see me here!" The newcomer says. "Got room for two on that dragon?"

Newt flew the dragon up to the upper level of the pyramid. For a frozen moment, he realizes that he is FLYING A DRAGON OMFG! IT"S EVERYTHING HE DEAMED OFFFFFF! He smiles and feels the air plaing through his hairi. This is it. THis is the fantastic beasts!

On the top level, both Dumbledore and Grindlewald are tired. 

"You're nothing without me, Albus!" Grindlewald gasped.

Dumbledore stood up straight, and true. "I don't need you anymore, Garrett! I am my own wizard!"

In response, Grindlewald blasted him of the side of the pyramid, and Dumbledore fell.

"At last..." Grindlewald said, turning back to the Quetzalboros, "All of the magic...WILL BE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

He laughed for just a moment too long.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that, Garret."

A great stone dragon was hovering on the edge of the platform, and dropped Albus down onto the floor. "Go protect the others!" He yelled at the dragon's riders.

Just then one of the passangers slid off the dragon's back, landing superhero style beside albus. 

"You can't always keep all the fun to yourself, Albus." Aberforth said, straightening up as the dragon flew away.

Grindlewald stared, dumbfound at the two brothers. Then he threw back his head and laughed. And laughed and laughed. "JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, EH ALBUS! HUH, ABERFIE? HOW'S CREEDENCE?"

Aberforth just nodded at his brother, "let's finish this."

The moved on the advance, each of them shooting spells at each other. They are all evenly matched.

While they were pointing their wands really hard at one another, Albus something cold in his breast pocket, like someone had dropped a piece of ice in it.

Then, like mist, a figure started to emerged from the pocket where the Ressurection stone was being held, quickly getting bigger and bigger until it was... it was...

Arianna, Dumbledore's sister dropped onto the surface of the pyramid, and just stood there, wordlessly. Dumbledore was utterly stunned. Grindlewald's wand dropped, just for a second, looking at the girl he killed. Aberforth was not stunned, he whipped his wand around and, with a mighty cry, blasted Grindlewald to the ground. There is a shot of Grindlewald's wand flying away, so the audience knows he doesn't have it anymore. He looks up from the ground at the Dumbledore, who was holding his wand an inch from Grindlewald's face. Arianna was norwhere to be seen.

Aberforth was looking up at the Quetzalboros.

" Y O U  H A V E  P R O V E N  Y O U R S E L F  W O R T H Y .  T H E  F A T E  O F  T H E  M A G I C  I S  Y O U R S .  W H A T D O  Y O U  W I S H ? "

Aberforth didn't need to think. "Creedence- I want you to take away my his magic. Take away the cursed magic that's killing him. Make me boy well again."

The quetzalboros closed it's eyes serenly, and, slowly, the upper temple drifted back down to take it's place back down on the lower temple. Aberforth blinked, and the Quetzalboros was stone once again, as though it couldn't have been anything else.

Back on the surface, Ajax Mcwix was sitting on the ground, stunned. His men were being tied up. His beasts wer subdued. How had it all happen?  He had almost had everything he wanted...but he didn't take it. The quetzalboros was now stone. He had lost. Wasn't he supposed to win, wasn't he the good guy?

He didn't even notice Jacob until the fat man was standing right next to him. Jacob squatted down so that their eyes were level, and the man flinched. 

Jacob just chuckled. "Yeah...." He sucked his air through his teeth. "I guess this probably has come as a bit of a shock to you, the whole utter defeat thing. You're probably wondering- how if you're so right, how could you have lose so badly? 

"Let's be honest with ourselves: I've never met an ass-whooping that just fell out the sky in front of me- I mean, they've gotta come from somewhere, right?"

Jacob chuckled again. "Yeah, this is one of those hard lessons you've gotta learn. I'd imagine it stings quite a bit..."

Ajax flinched again, but Jacob just shrugged and got up. "Well, chin up; at least this lesson won't kill you. Not everyone has that luxury." 

He stood up and started to walk away from the fallen man. Then he stopped, and without looking back, said, "But if you ever talk to my wife that way again, I'll teach a lesson you won't have the chance to learn from..."

Ajax once thought that such a line from the fat man would be some sort of joke. No one had ever been more wrong.

Newt ran over to Jacob and the striken man. "Jacob, are you okay!?"

Jacob mopped his brow with his sleave and looked up at the pyramid. "Gee golly! That was scaaaary! With all the magic and the lights and that giant snake thingy? I'm okay, though. What happened to Grindlewald?"

Newt shook his head. Then he saw aberforth, Dumbledore leading a manacled Grindlewald down the pyramid. 

Newt ran over to Dumbledore . "Did you beat him?" 

Albus looked over at Aberforth. Aberforth nodded, once. 

Dumbledore turned back to Newt. "Yes... yes I did."

Grindlewald sneered wanting to tell the truth, but he couldn't bring himself to admit that he'd been brought low by Aberforth, the goat-fucker.

Instead, he settled for a jab at Albus. "Beat me? Sure... sure... But even if I'm locked away, I have followers out there still, just biding time, Albus... There will always be someone like me out there... and you won't always be around to save the day at the end..."

Albus turned and looked Grindlewald directly into the eyes of the man he once loved. "Wherever there is evil, good will rise up to meet it." Hedwig's theme plays.

Over Grindlewald's shoulder, he saw Arianna on the edge of the clearing, near the forest. She waved at him, and then turned, walking into the forest.

And then she was gone.
