CM series: S1- Akuya Arc

15. Attack On Krakasnowa

"O'feara!" the 6 girls exclaimed. "What do you want now?" Elodia sternly asked. "So, Veranda," O'feara grinned. "we meet again. I would like to say that all 6 crystal moon guardians are here. I would've taken 5, but I want the 6th girl." "5?" Maggie asked. "who's the 6th?" "She is an ice fairy who is also a non-princess and her name is," O'feara continued. "... Ella!" "That's me.." Ella replied. "but why do you want me?" "Because you have the most powerful magic out of all your friends!" O'feara declared. "you will now receive your trap!" Suddenly, O'feara grabbed Ella with her clawry hands. "Let go of me!" Ella screamed. "So long, losers!" O'feara cackled, disappearing with Ella into black mist. The cackling and screaming echoed. "ELLA!" her friends screamed, running around like chickens.

"Calm down girls!" Elodia desperately yelled, trying to get their attention. Immediately, the 5 stopped and looked at Elodia. "Do you have anything that could track Ella?" the owner asked. "I have this," Maggie replied, taking out a weird cone shaped item. "What is that?" Rita asked, puzzled. "It's called an 'Argezous cone'," Maggie replied. "it was made by the dragon queen Argezous herself. It can track things, summon things and many more." Maggie pressed a petal on her cone and a virtual dragon came out. "It says that Ella and O'feara are heading to Mt. Krakasnowa-" "That's beyond Crystilville!" Tina stated. "we have to save her!" "How did you know that?!" Maggie asked, riddled. "I read a book about the map of Crystilville and it was on page 122: Mount Krakasnowa," Tina replied, smiling. "anyways, let's go!" The 5 girls activated their wings and flew to the mountain. "I'll be behind you!" called Miss Elodia. She then got on her motorbike that can fly and followed the girls.

Meanwhile, O'feara landed on a peak on the mountain and dropped Ella onto the soft snow. "What do you want?!" Ella cried. "Welcome to your trap, child," O'feara purred. "but today, you have some company..." The queen sent down shots of lighting, then 2 girls appeared beside her. The first girl had dirty pink eyes with thin pupils, short hair swept to her left shoulder; it was greyish lilac with fern streaks blended in. She had a black long-sleeved dress with a wide miniskirt, black knee-high boots and she held a long golden staff in the shape of a pen. The other girl had red eyes, a long golden ponytail tied with a ripped black bow. She wore a burgundy dress with gold armour. She had high boots and a golden umbrella. They both had evil smiles, and dark lips. "These are my sidekicks," O'feara stated. "introduce yourselves." "I'm Albetsy, the Akuya of psychology and confusion," the first girl said. "And I'm Stacey, the Akuya of the weather and disasters," the other girl added. "And with our powers, we're going to finish you!" they said together.

Ella stepped back a bit in fear, then fell into the snow. "OOF!" she yelled, hitting her butt. She looked up and saw the vampire queen and her 2 sidekicks grinning evily at her. "Oh dear," O'feara sarcastically said. "looks like you're too scared to move. Hand over your powers!" "Never!" Ella yelled, backing up onto the peak. Then, she felt a spherical shape. What was that? Ella thought, turning her head an looking at the ground. She dug into the freezing snow, and revealed an object, which was blue and round with icicle fragments on the edges. It was locked, but a white button held it together. "What's that?" Stacey asked, puzzled. Ella pushed the button, and inside revealed a small blue crescent moon made from crystal. What?! O'feara thought. "I knew it!" she shouted. "hand it over!"

Ella thought about it for a moment. Should she keep it? Should she give it up? She knew O'feara attempted to hurt her friends and an old woman, so.. "Nope," Ella smiled sweetly. She took her hand, held the moon high in the sky and yelled "By the power of ice! I send these monsters back to where they came from!" There was a sudden flash, and a blinding blue light. Ella felt more powerful than ever! The blue light swept O'feara, Albetsy and Stacey away from the mountain. "AAAAA!" They screamed, vanishing in the distance. Ella's eyes flashed, then crescent moons twinkled and spirited away. The moon stopped glowing and lay in Ella's palm. "Ella!" a voice called out. It was Maggie; she was running up the peak, the others following behind. "I knew you were safe!" "What's that?" asked Sheila, pointing at the moon in Ella's hand.

"It's a sort of moon," Ella replied. "and it seems to follow my orders." "That's because you've made your connection with the moon; the ice moon," a soft voice said from nowhere. A beam of sunlight shot out of the clouds and a figure of a woman appeared. She had long indigo hair which showed the galaxy; she also wore a cyan top with a hot pink miniskirt, a lilac train, dark blue eyes and pink boots. "Do not be scared," she gently spoke. "I am Princess Lune of day and night, and the goddess of the Day cycle." "Lune, what is this?" Ella asked. "The ice moon of Crystilville," Lune replied, examining the moon. "Long ago, my adopted mother created 6 crystal moons with the powers of ice, fire, flowers, dragons, galaxies and heavens. They were to bring peace into the kingdom and find their guardians later in the future. One day, a terrible beast broke in and demanded the moons' power. My mother refused and told him they were used for peace and he wasn't the guardian. The beast threatened to take them and destroy Crystilville, when my mother cast a spell, sending the moons to places where the guardians will find them. Now Ella, since you found one, it looks like you're a guardian!"

"That's an amazing legend!" Erin answered. "Yes, the kingdom knows it all," Lune replied. "but Ella, now you're a guardian, you must access the moon's power." "Let's get back to the mansion," Maggie suggested. "Let's do, it's quite cold here!" Elodia replied. With the click of Lune's fingers, the 8 teleported back to the mansion...
