Winter didn't waste any time and ripped off the earring and the crown. Qibli roared.
"Fools," Qibli snarled. "You really think you can harm me? Much less a pineapple?"
"HEY! I HAD SACRIFICED THIS DELICIOUS PINEAPPLE TO SAVE MOON AND THE OTHERS! OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE EATEN IT!" Kinkajou protested.
Qibli raised an eyebrow at her, unimpressed. "Doesn't matter anyway. My scales can't be harmed. Animus magic," He reminded them.
Winter narrowed his eyes. "Moon! Catch!" He tossed all the jewelry to her.
Moon fumbled with the items and handed the crown to Turtle. She then stabbed the earring in her own ear, causing her to breathe heavily, due to the headaches.
I can't mind read anymore, Qibli thought. Or foresee any future. He could see Turtle fiddling with the crown, before delicately handing it to Kinkajou. Kinkajou put on the crown triumphantly.
"Huh," She exclaimed. "No superpowers on this thing?" She tapped on the crown.
"No," Qibli snapped. "That was just for look. Idiot."
Winter stepped forward. "Give it up, Qibli. Just return to the way you were before. Please?" Winter softened his gaze. "We all miss you. I miss you."
That was quite gay, Qibli snorted. Moon gave him a questionable look. JOKING IM JOKING, SHEESH. Winter reached out with a talon. Qibli smacked it away.
"Why would I go back to the way I was before?" He growled. "I'm so much better now. I have animus magic. I can make everyone peaceful. Plus, don't you guys like me better like this?"
"No,"
"Hell no,"
"Um, sorry,"
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
The other four said. Qibli shrank. Am I actually evil? Moon nodded.
"Why would you want to hurt us?" She asked. "What have we ever done to you?"
Qibli gapped. He paused for a while. "All I ever did was try to take over Pyrrhia and make things better. And you guys tried to stop me. YOU GUYS are the evil ones here."
Turtle spoke. "With every queen's permission?"
Qibli stared at Turtle.
Moon spoke up. "You weren't doing what was best for Phyrria, you were doing what YOU thought was best for Phyrria. You haven't made anyone happy, just miserable. But you can change that. Just go back to the way you were before, please?"
A while had passed. "No," He finally said.
Moon's eyes widened. "But- the timelines- you turn out good in the end!"
"I was already good!" Qibli demanded. "You guys just think I'm the bad guy 'cause you guys keep thinking you're the good guys!" He flared his wings.
"QIBLI," Winter warned.
"Enough, you guys are slowing down my territory conquest," Qibli spoke. He smirked. "And I know the perfect spell."
Everyone became alert. Qibli bellowed. "I ENCHANT WINTER, TURTLE, KINKAJOU, AND MOONWATCHER TO BE FROZEN IN TIME."
"YOU LITTLE-" Winter stepped forward, about to attack, but failed to do so. He froze. Turtle wrapped his wings around Kinkajou.
"I guess this is goodbye?" Kinkajou asked.
Turtle nodded. "At least you're with me now,"
"I love you, Turtle,"
Turtle nodded. "I love you too-" they both froze.
