AN: Sorry for the delay. Been a bit busy and trying to beat writer's block.
With a little help on the poll I made in deviantart, was able to choose where our heroes should venture to. And I got big plans when they get there.
------------------------------
The meeting went as well as you expect, long small talk, mostly from Charlie, Stolas that is. Stella along with Andreaphuls are snooty as warned, they only spoke to Charlie directly while ignoring our friends. Not that it mattered, we were more worried about leaving this place before they catch on we're the mortal visitors, Paimon spoke to them about.
The group finally left the mansion, Charlie discretely tells the girls to be courteous and say goodbye to their hosts. Beth, Zaira, and Theo reluctantly do so. Stolas was polite to them but Stella and Andreaphuls brushed off.
Inside the bag monsters exchange worried glances. The tension in the air is palpable, and Ickis, being the most excitable of the trio, couldn't contain his panic any longer.
"Guys, we need to tell them what we overheard! It's important!" whimpered Ickis
"Not yet. Wait until we're in those moving things" said Oblina.
They waited as the front door closed and as the whole group stepped in the limo where Razzle and Dazzle were waiting. That was the right time, the monsters jumped out of the bag and started explaining.
"Guys! guys! We overheard something important. It's about Princess Stella and Andreaphuls!" cried out Ickis with urgency.
"What did you hear, Ickis?" inquired Charlie
"Any info on the dragonballs?" asked Beth, with an expectant look.
"We found info not just on the dragonballs..." said Krumm
Ickis stammered in agreement, "Well, see, they were talking, and we couldn't help but listen, you know, lurking skills and all... And they were planning to hurt Prince Stolas!"
"What?! Hurt him? Are you sure?" asked Vaggie sounding alarmed
Oblina then explained, "I heard it too. By the look of things, they are plotting against Stolas.
The first attempt on him was stalled but they plan on some shady business to take his fortune."
Krumm nodded "It's true, we overheard Stella expressing her frustration and Andreaphuls advising her to be patient and wait for the right moment."
Ickis sounding on the verge of panic added, "And we saw Paimon, he told him about the dragonballs because Hades squealed on us. They're planning something once they find us and the dragonballs, I just know it!"
The group falls into a hushed silence, the gravity of the situation sinking in.
Zaira's eyes widened "This changes everything. We need to be more cautious around Stella and Andreaphuls. They're a threat not only to Stolas but to all of us."
Charlie, who has been quietly observing, spoke with a expression serious. "In that case, we can't let them succeed. We need to gather more evidence and expose their true intentions. But we must be careful, as they are likely aware of your presence."
Vaggie nodded "All the more reason to stay vigilant and work together to protect you and Stolas. Let's keep our eyes and ears open for any opportunity to gather more information."
Beth nodded sounding determined. "Don't worry. We won't let them harm anyone. Gotta find a way to stop them and retrieve the dragonballs. But for now, let's focus on our mission but keep tabs on Stella and Andreaphuls."
