Chapter 37 - Night Falls
Penny and Harry had finally caught everyone's attention, and they all turned to the knight in front of them. Carlos stood next to Penny, and Felix stood next to Carlos, ready to protect Penny at any moment. "You like a prince, Mal?" Audrey asked, as if she was speaking from inside the armor. "How about a knight in shinning armor? Or knights." Audrey then laughed. Everyone backed up as multiple knights were ready to fight the group. Penny quickly ordered Felix to run back and protect Celia, and he did as told. Celia picked Dude up, and she and Felix stood by the doors they came through. Penny and Carlos stood next to each other, and Jay quickly stood on the other side of Penny.
Everyone
Watch your back, watch your back
Watch your back, watch your back
We can counter their attack
Hit 'em 'til the armor cracks
Uma walked ontop of the circle that was in the middle and she motioned for Gil to get them swords. He grabbed one for himself and gave the other to Uma as Harry pulled out his own sword.
Uma
This could get a little sticky
How to win this battle could be tricky
But I know the best way
Fall back let me lead, you hold the line
And we'll bring them to their knees
Mal walked up and stood next to Uma. She them motioned Jay to the swords and he quickly grabbed two. He threw them to Evie and Carlos as Penny conjured up her sword. Jay grabbed two more and threw one to Mal, who caught it.
Mal
Swords in the air if you're with me
They got us outnumbered one to fifty
But victory is ours
'Cause I got a strategy, you take the left
And the rest of you can follow me
Uma
Uh-uh
Mal
This is my crew
Uma
Well this is my squad
Mal
This is my turf
Evie
Oh my gosh, look guys
We've got bigger fish to fry
Put your differences aside
'Cause right now we're on the same side
Mal and Uma jumped down and everyone prepared for a fight. Evie held her sword up and Penny and Harry avoided eyes.
Evie
Until the night falls, everyone
We'll stay together 'til the battle is done
Everyone
Watch your back, watch your back
Watch your back, watch your back
We can counter their attack
Hit 'em 'til the armor cracks
The knights advanced and they all began to fight them. They each turned and fought different knights.
Evie
Until the night falls, we're aligned
It doesn't mean that we're on the same side
The knights were pushing them down, but everyone pushed back up.
Everyone
Watch your back, watch your back
Watch your back, watch your back
Hit 'em hard and hit 'em fast
They're too heavy to react
Mal and Uma left the circle and continued to fight the knights. Penny had ended up next to Harry, and the two shared a look.
Mal
This situation's getting kinda heavy
Hold your weapons tight keep 'em steady
'Cause if we stick together we can make it out alive
I'll cause a distraction, you attack them from the side
Harry noticed a knight sneaking up on Penny, but he quickly intervened. "You want her? You get through me." The two then fought back to back.
Uma
All my soldiers stand at the ready
We can cut 'em up like confetti
We'll hit 'em from the front, you counter from behind
Don't forget the fate of Auradon's on the line
Harry kicked away the knight that Penny was fighting, and he winked at her. The boys then got ontop of the circle as Evie and Penny stood in front of them.
Boys
This is all out war, they got us outnumbered
The way the swords clash is the sound of the thunder
Uma and Mal joined them and everyone turned to Mal.
Mal
And we are not going under, we will never run for cover
Everyone
We battle for the victory and ride for each other
Penny
Until the night falls everyone
We'll stay together 'til the battle is done
The side doors burst open and more knights filled the room. Penny and Harry shared a look, and the two smirked. Carlos had lost his sword, and Penny felt her heart sink. Harry had noticed, and he ran to protect Carlos. Celia slid Carlos a shield, and he quickly slid over to his sword.
Everyone
Back to back, back to back
Back to back, back to back
We can counter their attack
Hit 'em 'til the armor cracks
As Carlos had his sword back, Penny felt relieved, and she gave Harry a thankful smile.
Penny
Until the night falls, we're aligned
It doesn't mean that we're on the same side
Harry and Penny fought side by side, but they were losing. "Hook! You remember that night? At the lake in the Enchanted Forest?" The two smirked and the two fought in a certain way.
Everyone looked at them in awe, but Carlos couldn't help but feel jealous.
Everyone
Back to back, back to back
Back to back, back to back
Hit 'em hard and hit 'em fast
They're too heavy to react
They all realized that they were now surrounded, and they were outnumbered. Mal saw this to, so she stood on the circle and her eyes glowed green.
Mal
Suit of armor strong and true
Make this metal bust a move!
Mal began to dance, and the knights did exactly what she did. Uma took over, and they copied Uma as well. Uma then hoped off the circle and Carlos took her spot. The knights then copied his moves, and Carlos smirked over at Penny.
Evie
Until the night falls, you can trust
I'm gonna help you win this battle because
Everyone
I got your back, got your back
Got your back, got your back
All for one and that's a fact
Night fall pitch black
As the knights all fell down, everyone cheered. Harry picked Penny up, and the two were hugging. Gil and Jay were about to high five, and so were Mal and Uma. But when they realized what they were going to do, they stopped. Harry realized that he had picked Penny up, and so did Penny. They stopped and Harry had put Penny down. They both cleared their throats, and Penny caught sight of Carlos.
She quickly rushed over and the two kissed.
They pulled away and Penny smiled up at him. "Oh, thank God you're okay." Any jealousy that Carlos felt earlier, was no longer there as Penny was in his arms.
"Thank God you're okay," said Carlos.
Felix rushed over and he embraced Penny. "You're okay! If you weren't, I'm sure your dad would killed me." Penny laughed and Felix let her go. Carlos quickly made his way over and he embraced his girlfriend.
"No," said Evie as she realized that they were no longer celebrating together, but on their own sides. "Guys, come on. This was so great. We were a team. We worked together. Come on." Evie grabbed Mal's hand, but Mal pulled away, not wanting to be on a team with Uma.
Evie tried the same thing with Uma, but Uma simply glared at the girl.
"You know what we should try? An ice breaker." Everyone but Evie, Celia, Felix, and Penny groaned. Penny looked at everyone, amused with the situation. She loves Evie, but she has to admit, she's trying a little too hard to make everyone friends with one another. Evie looked at the three pirates in front of her, and she smirked.
"You say something you really like about the other person. Okay? I'll start. . . Harry." Harry groaned quietly, but Evie ignored it. "Great accent." Harry's eyes widened, and Penny couldn't help but chuckle. "Now you go."
"Is she always this perky?"
"Oh, it wasn't really your turn, but thank you."
Mal stepped forward and took hold of Evie's hands. "Okay, Evie? Come here. I love you."
"I love you."
"I love this energy, but we are very short on time. Audrey clearly knows that we're here, and we need to get out of here asap."
As the groups were discussing the next plan, Penny walked over and she pulled Harry to the side. "Hey. . . I just want to say thank you, for saving Carlos' life. I don't know what I would do without him." Harry chuckled.
"No problem, Penny. Besides, I'm the one who's supposed to break your heart, remember?"
Penny chuckled and she pulled Harry into a quick hug.
"Thanks again, Harry."
