As Paul and I flew, the others joined us, and we landed on one of the landings of a temple themed ride. Spotting Shaggy and Scooby trapped on the spinning drums, they saw us as we all powered back up and landed on the ground below. Gene created a crater as he spun and blew fire. Eric landed with his hair in his face before extending his claws and stomping on the ground, causing pillars to rise, which he promptly slashed before roaring. Tommy stormed forwards as lightning struck the ground and he dodged it before kneeling down and gathering the energy, then throwing it and snapping. Paul's eye glowed as he spun around making pillars rise before shouting them away. I landed with fire and light flaring out under my feet as I threw my arms up creating wings to form behind me. Shaggy and Scooby looked to be in awe as Tommy threw out his hands and short circuited the ride.

"You picked the wrong park." I growled launching forwards while conjuring a sword out of light and igniting the blade. Eric also jumped with me and broke her scythe while engaged her in combat. 

"Phoenix, duck!" Gene shouted. Giving the witch a wicked smile, I did a handspring backwards and kicked the witch in the face as Gene breathed fire at her. Paul shot a laser out of his eye when she took to the sky.

"You'll never stop me." sneered the witch as red smoke gathered around her before she disappeared. "I'll be back for you, Phoenix and your little brat too."

Once she was gone, we flew off back to the administrative building. Fear gripped me as I burst into the building and almost flew up the stairs towards the living quarters. Sliding to a stop outside Paul's room, I opened the door slowly and saw Harry was sleeping soundly. Walking up to his side, I collapsed to my knees in relief and laid my head on the bed.

"Thank Merlin you're okay." I whispered before looking up and stroking his hair out of his face.

"Mama?" my precious boy mumbled cracking his eyes open.

"I'm here, Baby." I cooed giving him a relieved smile.

"Why you scared?" he asked.

"Mommy was worried you might have woken up and wandered off. That's all." I said getting up and placing a kiss on his forehead. "Go back to sleep. I'll be downstairs for a little bit. Uncle Manny will check on you later."

"Otay." Harry rolled over onto his side and drifted off. "I wove you, Mama."

"I love you too, my little Super Wizard." Smiling, I made to exit the room when I saw Paul standing there. He looked tired, and no doubt I did too. "He's safe, for now."

"Yeah, for now." Paul sighed pulling me into a hug and resting his chin on my head, being mindful of my tiara. "Avalon."

"You only use my full first name if it's important." I groaned looking up at him.

"I met with the Elder before coming back. She told me something about your clan." Paul led me out of his room, cracking the door and into a kitchenette.

"What about my clan?" I looked up at him as he sat me at the table before making me some tea.

"The Mythos Clan was the ruling family of KISSteria. When they were wiped out and you disappeared, the Council of Elders stepped up. With you back and gaining power, it means you'll one day rule KISSteria." He explained placing the tea in front of me and sitting down. "Granted with the Council around, you'll have more freedom than your predecessors did. But you're more than a noblewoman. You're a queen."

I paused mid sip.

"I'm a what?" I lowered my cup and looked at him. 

"It's probably why the witch wants you and Harry. With the Mythos Clan completely wiped out, KISSteria will crumble." I'd never seen Paul this serious.

"Paul, with us being together. Doesn't that make you part of my clan as well?" I asked.

"Not unless we were to get married." he looked down. 

We sat there in silence.

"Then let's get married." I suggested. "The park has a minister, doesn't it? At the show tonight, I'll bring Rising Phoenix back, we'll play Little Piece of Heaven and during the song, we can get married. The fans will love it."

"How can we get married during a song?" he gave me a confused look. Rolling my eyes, I grabbed my phone and pulled up the lyrics of the song. He read through it with a grimace before widening when he saw the marriage part. "Oh."

"Or before the show, as they let everyone in. It'll practically be the wedding of the century." I said.

He was about to say something when Tommy walked in.

"The kids are back with their friends, they're in the infirmary." the Spaceman jerked his thumb towards the stairs.

"Okay, we'll be down in a minute." Paul nodded before getting up. I downed the rest of my tea and put the cup in the dishwasher before following the men downstairs. Though I did check on Harry one more time when we passed Paul's room.

"He'll be fine." Tommy assured me.

"I'm a mother, I can't not worry." I retorted as we entered the infirmary. "How are they?"

"They still haven't woken up." Daphne sighed.

"You still got that churro?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?" Daph brought it out and handed it to me. Smirking, I held the food between Shaggy and Scooby. After a few seconds, the two devoured it and woke up. "Oh, that's why."

"Works every time. It's why I carry snacks even when not pregnant." I laughed stepping back. "How are you two feeling?"

"Like a couple more of those churros." Shaggy sat up looking at all of us. "How 'bout you Scoob?"

"Rheah." Scooby nodded enthusiastically. Chip offered them some cakes, but Fred jumped in.

"What happened?"

"Well first we got some ice cream, which Scooby-Doo licked away from me." Shaggy glared at the dog who rubbed his stomach. "Then there was this smell and that stinky witch. And then all this running, and music, and spinning. And then, uh, and then, uh, they saved us."

Shaggy pointed at the guys and I.

"KISS, Ava, and their superpowers!" Shaggy exclaimed. The band and I shared side-eyed looks.

"That's right. They have superpowers." Scooby agreed.

"Sounds like you two spun on the drums too many times." Velma suggested.

"Not to mention the gas the witch uses is probably hallucinogenic." I pointed out crossing my arms.

"No! Like Ava made a flaming sword appear and had wings, Starchild shot a beam from his eye, Catman used claws, Spaceman shot lightning bolts, and Demon flew in and breathed fire!" Shaggy pointed at all of us.

"Shaggy, Sweetie." I sat on the edge of the bed and placed my hand on his knee. "Between the spinning and the gas, you were suffering from minor Hypoxia. It can cause you to hallucinate." 

"You must be imagining things." Velma deadpanned.

"Well, he didn't imagine the witch. That's for sure." Fred stated.

"What should we do now?" Daph asked.

"You should leave!" a gypsy woman declared walking in. "Trust me KISS. These children are nothing but trouble. You think they're allies. But in the end, the only person they'll help is the Crimson Witch and her plans to bring total devastation to this world. They must go now, or all is lost. While the Pheonix will burn once more to stop the darkness."

I swallowed thickly and backed away. Oh hell no. I am not dying again.

"If you want to speak further, you know where to find me." she said before walking off.

"Who was that?" Daphne inquired clutching her hands to her chest.

"Chikara, the psychic." Paul replied.

"She works at the park." Eric stated.

"She tells people's fortunes." Tommy explained.

"Well, she smells like a mixture of patchouli and hobo." Velma put her hand on her hips and looked at the guys.

"She's very wise. Maybe someone should talk to her." Paul suggested.

"Noes goes!" I shouted pressing my finger to my nose. Shaggy and Scooby did the same.

"I'll go." Tommy offered stepping forward.

"Mind if I tag along? I find it odd that she thinks she knows so much about the witch." Velma looked up at Tommy. Was that sparks I saw? Oooh. Matchmaking time! Tommy offered Velma his arm and I couldn't help the shit eating grin on my face as Velma took it and they walked off.

"Please tell me you saw that too!" I giggled once they were gone.

"Right?! They are so cute together and he's such a perfect gentleman." Daphne also giggled as the guys just rolled their eyes at our antics. "We should totally try and get them together."

"Most definitely." I agreed. "But we should head back to the drums to look for clues."

"Phoenix is right. Daphne, Frank. Care to join us?" Paul asked offering his arm out to me too. Placing my hand on his inner elbow, I saw Daph nod. "Demon, Catman. You guys watch Shaggy and Scooby."

We left the building and headed for the ride. When we got there, Fred started scraping off some ash on one of the walls while I looked at the damage done to the drum Shaggy and Scooby had been in.

"Well, whatever she used, it was sharp. Titanium and Steel ally maybe?" I hummed bending down to run my finger over the edge. "Ouch."

Jerking my hand back, I looked at my fingers and saw one was bleeding. I brought them to my mouth when Paul's hand grabbed mine.

"Here, let me." Paul winked at me before kissing and sucking on my fingers. I felt my face heating up and giggled.

"Get a room you two." Fred made a disgusted sound.

"I think it's cute." Daphne sighed dreamily.

"We have a room, but our son is sleeping in it." I looked at Fred and wiggled my eyebrows making him grimace.

"I miss the old Ava." he whined.

"This is the old Ava." Paul laughed letting my hand go as my powers healed the cuts. He kissed my cheek before looking down at me. "Sweet as ever, Babe."

"Oh, stop it you." I blushed and looked away.

"Hey guys, check this out!" Daph said making us all look at her. She tapped her right foot on the ground, and it made a solid sound while her other foot made a hollow sound. 

"Sorry, but I'm not into tapdancing. I'm purely Rock and Roll!" Paul replied.

"No, Paul. She's right. There's a trap door here." I knelt Daphne's right foot and felt along the ground before finding a latch and opening it. 

"It looks like the door to the catacombs." Paul knelt down too and looked down.

"The what-a-combs?" she asked looking at him.

"It's what we call the maze of hallways that run under the park. They give us access everywhere. Including the main stage." Paul explained.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" I huffed jumping down, not bothering to use the ladder. My boots made an echoing clang when I landed. Grabbing my wand I cast Lumos Duo. "Seems clear. Come on down!"

"You two should wait here." Paul suggested before jumping down after I moved. 

     Paul and I began wandering down the maze of tunnels looking for clues. Suddenly I felt something touch my ass making me jump with a squeal. Paul laughed as I round on him with a glare. He held his hands up in surrender and gave me a sheepish smile. My shoulders sagged when I realized it was just him messing with me. I was about to turn around when he cupped my face and pushed me against the wall. Losing my concentration caused the spell to go out, rendering us in darkness as our lips connected. A soft moan escaped me as I wrapped my arms around his neck and hitched one of my legs around his waist. Moments like these have been sorely missed. As he moved to my neck, I heard and scream and pushed him back.

"That sounded like Daphne!" I exclaimed before relighting my wand and running towards the source. Running into one of the rooms, I saw Daphne trying to catch her breath and Fred on the floor covered in water.

"I thought I told you two to stay back?" Paul crossed his arms and gave them a disapproving look.

"Some of us had other ideas." Daphne looked down at Fred. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I groaned. 

"Fred, stop being an ass and giving my boyfriend a hard time." I said.

"We came looking for you two." He defended.

"Well, we searched this whole sector and were on our way here when we-" Paul explained.

"When someone thought it would be funny to scare me." I gave my other half a mock glare.

"Wait, I thought you were now my fiancé?" Paul looked offended. "I mean less than an hour ago, you asked me to marry you."

"You two are getting married?!" Daphne squealed before running up to me and looking for a ring. When she saw my family ring she lost it.

"Daph, that's my family ring." I deadpanned.

"Oh. So no ring?" she asked.

"Not yet at least." I gave her an apologetic smile. "Besides, someone didn't say yes."

Paul looked away while whistling. Rolling my eyes, I turned to Shandi. 

"We need the key to the Chem Lab." I said dropping Daphne's hands.

"I'm headed there anyway. I'll take you guys." She gestured for us to follow, and I saw Fred stop Paul.

"If you hurt Ava in any way, you'll pay." I heard the blonde growl before putting on a happy expression and giving Paul a pat on the shoulder.

"Ugh. Men." I muttered shaking my head.

"For the past few months, chemicals have gone missing." Shandi explained as we walked down the now brightly lit hallways. "So, I've been keeping it under lock and key. No one gets into the lab without coming to me first."

     When we got to the lab, it was empty. Though Fred noticed a chemical analyzer and asked Shandi to look at the residue from the mist. She agreed and told Paul and I she'd help the teens get back topside. We thanked her and left to continue looking. Once we ourselves got back to the surface, I split off from Paul to check on Harry. After what the witch said, I was far too paranoid to leave him alone for long. He said he understood and went to look for the others. Getting to Paul's room, I saw the door was open wider than it should have been, and fear gripped me. Slowly, I crept towards the room and froze when I felt a cool breeze. Rushing in and flipping on the light, I saw the bed was empty and the window was open. Running towards the window, I suddenly smelt rotten eggs. Oh no. Jumping out the window, I activated my powers and took off through the park looking for him. He wasn't on any of the rides, museums, booths, nothing. Landing at the drums, I flew down into the tunnels and searched all of them.

"Harry?" I called out coming into the space under the stage. There was no reply. No, not my baby. Please not my baby. Racing back to the admin building, I landed outside the door to security and burst through the door. "PAUL! HARRY'S GONE!"

"What? What do you mean gone? Where could he have gone?" he asked rushing up to me as I became a sobbing mess.

"I-I went to check on him and the door was open wider than we left it. When I got close, I felt a cold breeze, so I rushed in and saw the bed empty and the window open. I even smelled the gas from the red mist!" I cried as Paul held me to his chest. "She has him. That witch has out baby!"

"The witch took Harry?" Daphne gasped.

"What?!" Gene roared looking pissed. "Have you searched the park? The Catacombs?"

"I looked everywhere. And neither of them could be seen." I sobbed.

"We'll find. I promise you we will." Paul assured me cupping my face to look at him. "You guys trap the witch, we'll go look for Harry."

"Right." Eric nodded as Paul led me out of the building. Once we were outside, we activated our powers and took off.

     We ended up splitting off from one another to look. A trilling sound reached my ears and I saw Fawkes fly level with me. Seeing the old familiar made me smile slightly as he flew alongside me, singing softly as if trying to calm me down. But it didn't help. Paul said the only way the witch could truly win is if she killed me and Harry. Below me, I could see the gang and the rest of KISS trying to lure out the witch. When I saw her, I was going to kill her. Eventually, Paul and I met back up in front of the Dynasty Star Wheel.

"Did you find him?" I asked.

"No, did you?" 

"We've searched everywhere. Where could he be?" I lowered to the ground and fell to my knees, burying my face in my hands. "Oh, my poor baby. He's probably so scared right now."

"Ava. Baby. Please, look at me." Paul knelt down next to me and placed a hand on my back. "He's here somewhere. I know he is."

"But where?" I cried.

"I don't know." Paul admitted.

Suddenly I started smelling the rotten eggs again and looked up. The witch was chasing Scooby and Shaggy. I jumped to my feet and was about to take off when Paul stopped me.

"The guys and kids have a trap set for her." he warned me. "If they can't catch her, then you can go after her."

     I saw the kids shoot nets at her sending her to the ground. Running up to them, I saw Velma pull off the mask to reveal an ancient looking woman. They all screamed and pushed the helmet back on. As I made to grab her, she broke out of the net and laughed. Misty chains started to wrap around me and hoist me up. Grunting, I tried to break free, but couldn't.

"Fools! The Destroyer will feast on your fears. And now that I have the last two members of the Mythos Clan in my clutches. Evil will rule!" she shouted as Harry appeared also wrapped in the chains.

"HARRY!" I screamed managing to get my arm free and try to reach for him.

"Mommy!" my baby cried reaching for me.

"It's okay Harry, you'll be okay." I assured him grabbing at the chains to try and pry them off of me.

The guys showed up and attacked the witch. Paul managed to find her in the mist and Tommy knocked her down with lightning, freeing Harry and I. Only problem was, we were almost fifty feet in the air. My son started screaming as he fell. Lighting up, I raced after him. An explosion rang in the air as I broke the sound barrier, while flames and glittering light particles left a trail behind me. Catching my son, I held him close as I landed on the ground gently. Harry was sobbing as he clutched my dress. Petting his hair, I held him tightly to me. Not wanting to let go. Looking back at the witch, we saw her rise up and summon a scythe before cutting through reality to the cosmic realm. Because of the gravitational imbalance, everything was getting sucked in. My wings sprang from my back as I wrapped them around Harry and I. Looking to the side, I saw KISS holding onto Daphne, Velma, and Fred. Looking to my right, I saw Scooby and Shaggy holding onto the ground for dear life. The witch widened the tear increasing the suction. We all started getting sucked in, but Gene grabbed the band and the gang, while I managed to grab onto a cobblestone next to Shaggy and Scooby.

"Like, somebody help us!" the poor teen yelled before our small group got pulled in with the witch on our heels.

We landed on some floating rock, and I handed Harry to Shaggy and Scooby took the diamond in his mouth.

"Protect Harry." I ordered before flying and extending my wings as a Phoenix cry filled the air. Holding my hand out, my guitar formed in a flash of fire and my pick in a dazzle of light. The sound of an organ intro for Critical Acclaim could be heard as well as the guys playing I Was Made for Loving You.

Shh... quiet, you might piss somebody off
Like me, motherfucker, you've been at it for too long
While you feed off others' insecurities
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

My flames and light formed a band of my own as the sound waves and power raced towards the witch.

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

So how does it feel to know that someone's kid
In the heart of America has blood on their hands
Fighting to defend your rights
So you can maintain a lifestyle
That insults his family's existence
Well, where I'm from we have a special
Salute that we aim high in the air
Towards all those pompous assholes
Who spend their days pointing fingers
(Fuck you)

Shh... quiet, you might piss somebody off
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy
Collecting enemies

Fawkes flew out from behind me and let off a deafening screech as he clawed at the witch's eyes making her roar angrily. Baring my teeth, I channeled more power creating visible soundwaves.

Tabloid gossip queen, worthless man
(There's no need for us to bury you)
Selfish agenda once again
(Right this way, you've dug your own grave)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

All the way from the east to the west
We got this high society
Looking down on their very foundation
Constantly reminding us that our actions
Are the cause of all their problems
Pointing their fingers in every
Direction, blaming their
Own nation for who wins the elections
They've never contributed a fucking thing to the
Country they love to criticize

Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see try and get through
Admitting mistakes can hurt
I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first

She threw a large blast at the rock the three were on, sending them screaming and falling onto a weird beast. It looked back at the trio, but freaked out when it saw the witch and flew off faster.

Shh... quiet you might piss somebody off

Self-righteousness is wearing thin
(Lies inside your head, your best friend)
Heart bleeds but not for fellow men
(Broken glass, your fake reflection)

I've had enough
It's time for something real
I don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far
A clone

     When my song ended, I dismissed my guitar and summoned the sword from earlier and raced after her as she chased the trio. The beast flew for a bit before being hit. Throwing my own fire at her, I hit her boot, knocking her off course as the trio laned on a platform and ran for a spacebike. The witch regained control and chased them, but I threw up a wall of fire. She turned back to me and roared before lunging. I met her halfway and an explosion of light shot out as our powers collided. We were both thrown back and was caught by Fred who placed me on my feet. I made to fly off again when he stopped me. Looking back at Paul, he gestured to his guitar. Summoning mine, I began to play along to the same song as them and added my voice to theirs. With mine and Paul's combined vocal attack, the witch's attention was on us. She fired and attack at Tommy, but he deflected it causing her to hide behind a massive rock and push it at us. Gene used his flaming Axe bass on the rock, shattering it. The witch turned on the trio ahead of us and destroyed their bike. Scooby lost the diamond and Shaggy lost hold of Harry as they went flying. The witch grinned and flew after both, but Paul stepped on a button and raised massive speakers. Gene and Tommy sent of a harmonized chord as Paul, and I hit a high note together creating a rainbow of power to knock the witch into a rock, and Harry with the diamond in another direction. Fawkes managed to grab Harry and fly back to the ship, depositing my son into Velma's arms before flying after Scooby and Shaggy. But Scooby managed to grab the diamond, Shaggy his tail, Daphne his boot, and Fred her feet. As they were starting to come down, the witch grabbed the diamond and flew off into another portal.

"Harry!" I cried in relief, scooping my son up after vanishing my guitar.

"Mommy!" he sobbed into my neck hugging as tight as his little arms would let him.

"Oh, my baby." I breathed hugging him tight. Paul came up and hugged us both while looking at the portal the witch had gone through and glaring. "It's okay. Mommy's here now. Mommy's here."

Eventually we passed through a portal of our own and the ship landed outside a city. The band and I flew down to the ground while the gang climbed down. I could hear them talking about how weird this place was, but I largely ignored them in favor of calming my son down. Paul gestured for us to follow him to speak to the Elder. Harry sniffled and looked around while still clutching onto me for dear life. Walking into the city, it was like a ghost town. Suddenly, people in various styles of rock makeup came running out to greet us. The Elder was at the head of the group. When they stopped, she spoke.

"A shadow has fallen across KISSteria, and your arrival here confirms the worst. The Crimson Witch has the rock" she looked at all of us. Her eyes lingering on Harry and I the longest. "Even the Queen is here with her young child."

"I'm afraid so, we lost her in the portal. She tried to take Hadrian from Phoenix and I." Paul admitted sadly.

"Then we have little time to act." the Elder said before looking at the kids. "Who are they?"

"Those I consider family, Elder." I defended stepping forward.

"Earth kids." Gene grumbled.

"Are they worthy?" she asked.

"Most definitely/meh." Gene and I said at the same time.

"Their hearts are pure and their spirits strong." Paul assured the Elder. Before Shaggy could say something stupid, I covered his mouth with a band of light. She gave a curt nod.

"You children should prepare yourself. If the Crimson Witch succeeds in releasing the Destroyer, he will engulf your world in a torrent of darkness and evil." she explained. I knew Fred was about to turn around with ridiculous makeup, so with a little magic, I made it disappear.

"We're ready, Your Majesty." he smiled. 

"I am not the queen of this realm." The elder shook her head before pointing at me. "She is. As the eldest living member of the Mythos Clan. Phoenix is the rightful ruler."

Some KISSterians came over with a golden crown on a pillow. I vanished my tiara and handed Harry to Paul, making him fuss, which Paul promptly calmed our boy down, and bowed my head as the crown was placed on my head after one KISSterian adjusted my ponytail.

Power seemed to surge through me when I stood tall, and Fawkes trilled happily as he perched on my shoulder.

"You all must work together to defeat the Destroyer. Go now, heroes. Stop the darkness." Elder instructed. We all got back on the ship and headed for the temple. It would take a while, so this was going to be our only down time.

"Wow, Ava. Your crown is so pretty." Daphne said as she braided my hair while I inspected the new item. 

"Yeah, I felt stronger too." I sighed before looking up and seeing Paul play with Harry to distract him. She held out her hand for the crown and I gave it to her before she placed it on my head and braided more hair around it. "What are you doing by the way?"

"Just giving you an awesome hairstyle to go with your title. Because of your armor, I decided on a Viking style." she explained.

"Oh, okay." I hummed. Once she was done, I stood up and walked over to my boyfriend and our son. "Having fun?"

"Trying too." Paul sighed setting Harry down, who toddled over to Scooby. "You look great."

"As always." I playfully scoffed flipping my hair over my shoulder. "I'm sure you'll have one too, after tonight."

"I don't think a crown fits the look I'm going for." Paul chuckled wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me close.

"You don't have to wear it during shows, Knucklehead." I mock pouted before rising on my toes and leaning into his ear. "Just on KISSteria and perhaps the bedroom."

Paul buried his face in my neck to muffle the groan he made. Snickering, I backed up and winked before walking off. 

"What has him all flustered?" Fred asked as I sat down and summoned my guitar.

"Nothing you need to worry about, Freddy." I chuckled while strumming a few chords.

     After a little while longer, we neared the tomb of the Destroyer. Harry his behind me as we looked at the volcano and the witch using the diamond to break the barrier around it. Our expressions were steely as the band, and I powered up. We took off as the barrier crumbled and landed between the witch and the alter. The witch said we were fools for bringing the kids, as according to her, they wouldn't be leaving alive. Using her mist, she turned the surrounding statues into harpies that headed for the ship.

"You guys protect the kids, I'll go after her myself." Paul stated before flying after the witch.

"Oh great, more babysitting." Gene rolled his eyes as we took off back for the ship. 

     Throwing out my hand, I created a dome over the kids. This pissed the harpies off, causing them to screech and claw at the energy. Because I wasn't well trained in my powers, the dome shattered, and the harpies began picking up the kids. Harry screamed before a lilac bubble of energy appeared around him. Racing towards my son, I sent a wave of fire at the creatures, making them turn to stone and shatter when impact was made. Landing on the ship, I created whips of fire and light and began ensnaring any of them that came closer to me. The guys took care of rescuing the kids while I protected Harry. Once all the harpies were gone, I placed Harry back in the kids' care before flying off in the direction that Paul went. He was fucking insane going off on his own. Coming up on the mountain, I saw the witch and Paul flying over a river of lava. My heart sank when I saw my beloved being pelted with red energy.

"LEAVE. HIM. ALONE!" I roared diving down and slamming my elbow into her back, knocking her close to the lava.

"The Phoenix." the witch sneered. "You should have stayed dead."

"I'm a Potter, Death is my friend." I growled lowering myself between her and Paul. She charged me and grabbed my shoulders before slamming me into the wall of the canyon, through it and other stone structures before diving back down. "I'll fucking kill you."

"You won't get the chance." she wickedly grinned before releasing me. I couldn't stop in time as I crashed to the ground creating a massive dust cloud. Groaning, I tried to get up, by searing pain in my shoulder made me wince.

Looking at the source of my pain, I saw a jagged stone had pierced my shoulder. Snarling, I jerked my body and broke the base of the stone before flying back up. Paul was getting thrown around too.

"Hey you fucking Cunt!" I shouted making them both look at me. What a sight I must have been with blood dripping down my arm from the wound in my shoulder. Reaching up, I grabbed the stone and pulled it out. Blood gushed out of the now gaping wound. "Didn't you learn anything in History class? The Phoenix is immortal."

The witch snarled and threw Paul at me. I grimaced when I caught him, as my shoulder jarred. Fire flared up on my right side, healing the wound as I held my beloved's hand in my left. 

"You think you two can stop me alone?" she yelled.

"Obviously." I sneered giving her a taste of her own medicine. Looking at Paul, I whispered to him. "We can merge our power and send a large attack."

"Won't that drain our power?" he asked. 

"Undoubtedly, but what choice do we have?" I nodded. Paul just took my other hand and closed his eyes.

     Closing my eyes, I unleashed all of my power and saw the bright purple glow from the other side of my eyelids. Soon the light turned white as our two energies mixed. Opening my eyes, I met white ones as we turned to look at the witch and broke our union and raised our outermost hands. Flaming starts shot out at the witch, pushing her back from the alter where she was trying to place the diamond. She created a barrier around herself and pushed forward. I unleashed a breath attack on her, but she managed to push through that and place the gem into the slot. Our eyes widened before the white aura became our own respective purple and gold.

"We failed." I weakly said as my aura flickered. Paul caught me as I began to lose altitude. 

A shockwave of energy hit Paul and I making us cry out in pain before being thrown back and away from each other. Paul crashed into a rock, while I was thrown towards the river of lava. I tried to use both my power and magic but was too exhausted. Heat grew in intensity as I looked up at the multicolored sky. The closer to the lava I got, the more it felt like my skin was melting off. A scream of agony tore its way out of my throat as I landed in the viscous fluid. Reaching my hand up, I tried to reach for Paul who had crawled to the edge of the canyon with a horrified look. No, I couldn't lose him again. Tears burned my eyes as they automatically became steam. Why wasn't I burning but feeling like I was. The last thing I saw was Paul screaming my name before red forced me to close them. Curling in on myself, I tried to block out the pain. The liquid fire wasn't killing me, but it burned.

"Please, make it stop." I begged whatever deity could hear me. As I sank through the lava, I could hear a deep bellowing laugh. My eyes shot open, and I twisted in the lava to what I thought was the surface. "The Destroyer! I have to get back up there!"

Gritting my teeth, I started kicking my legs, but they became tangled in my cape. Damnit. Edna Mode was right. Capes are the worst. Reaching back, I sluggishly tore the material. Once the material was gone, I turned back to start swimming up, when a rock came sinking into the lava and into me, sending me further down into the river.

Third Person POV:

"Where's Ava?" Gene asked Paul as they flew back to Earth. The frontman gave him a sad look.

"She sank into the lava." Paul admitted wiping tears out of his eyes.

"Isn't she supposed to be immune to anything fire related?" Eric looked at the older two members.

"She's a Phoenix, right? Creatures of fire and light?" Tommy added.

"If anything, being in such a concentrated source of both will strengthen her." Gene said as the band grew closer to the Dynasty Star portal.

     Back with the Scooby Gang, they had all managed to pile into the KISS Craft when the rock beneath it crumbled from the quakes caused by the Destroyer. Fred managed to get the key in the ignition and the ship started before it hit the lava. Flying up into the air, the gang waited for the monster to emerge. Back on earth, the band arrived, and the gates were opened. A stampede of people rushed towards the stage. Avalon had fallen unconscious when the rock slammed her into the bottom of the river, leaving her trapped form to lay in what was practically a fiery tomb. Fans cheered at the park as KISS began playing Detroit Rock City. The Gang whipped the ship around and flew away from the Destroyer, leaving behind KISSteria and Avalon. Music filled the cosmic realm as the band began to play.

I feel uptight on a Saturday night
Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I got to do
I got to

Avalon's fingers twitched as the music reached her. Power surged through her and began feeding her magical core, while the gang raced away from the beast intent on devouring everything.

Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City

Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Twitching fingers soon turned into a fist as her magical core was overloaded and burst within her. Power and magic flowed freely within the young woman as the ground shook from HER power this time. Passing through a portal, the Gang grit their teeth and had serious expressions as they led the Destroyer towards KISS World so the band could overload the beast.

Getting late
I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car and I try to make the midnight show

Lava, fire, and light shot into the air as the form of a bird rose up. Hovering, the form looked at the back of the Destroyer as it fired on the Gang. A deafening cry came from the form as it shot off after the monster.

Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Moving fast, down 95
['Resurrected' version: "Moving fast, doing 95"]
Hit top speed but I'm still moving much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
Hear my song playing on the radio, it goes

Shaggy yelled at Fred to step on it as the Destroyer tried sucking them in. The blonde teen pushed the throttle forward and slammed his foot on the gas getting free from the pull. Behind both the gang and Destroyer, the form emerged through the portal and was revealed to be a massive Phoenix. 

Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet
Get down!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat

     As Spaceman began his solo. Blue energy swirled out of his guitar and into the portal behind him before hitting the Destroyer and forming an astral titan of himself. The titan unleashed an electrical beam at the monster. Catman's astral titan joined and used its claws to physically injure the Destroyer. Starchild's titan fired a beam from its eye, while Demon's smirked and spat fire. Cracks formed on the Destroyer, but it was still charging toward Earth.

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights staring at my eyes
Oh my God!
No time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die
Why?

The Phoenix finally caught up and got in front of the KISS Craft. A flare of fire and Avalon was revealed in the flesh with a twisted smirk on her face. Flames made her seem like a giantess as she swung her arms around her in a circle before conjuring a ball of light orbited by flames. Pushing the ball away from her, a beam shot out of the ball and pierced through the largest of the cracks in the Destroyer, causing it to explode. The force of the explosion sent the KISS Craft spiraling out of control and through Avalon's flames before falling apart and leaving the teens and toddler to float through the cosmic tunnel unconscious. Turning her back to fallen beast, she sung out her arm and golden light encased the gang as she scooped the toddler in her arms and held him to her chest.

Get up!
Everybody's gonna move their feet

Get up!
Everybody's gonna leave their seat
Get up!

The Gang and Avalon flew out of the portal. While the teens landed on the crowd and were surfed to security to be taken to the infirmary, Avalon landed on the stage in a dazzling display of light and fire. Fans cheered as the flames extinguished. Paul looked at Avalon and dropped his guitar before hugging her and dipping her into a kiss with their son almost crushed between them.
