Chapter 15 The Amazons
Two Days later the Rainbow Squads and the Royal Children were getting ready to head on over to the next kingdom, which was the Amazons. So they all packed up their things and got ready to go. Cen decided to go with them as he wanted to help them out as much as he could. His mother allowed him to go even if she would be worried about him, she'd still allowed him to go along with them.
"Alright everyone ready to go?" Iris asked as she got the Key ready.
"I'm ready to go!" Melody stated excitedly.
"Yeah me too, I made sure I had everything I would need," Cen said.
Everyone nodded saying that they had everything they would need for the trip to the Amazons.
"Alright let's get going now!" Iris exclaimed as she used the Key to open another portal to the Amazon's world.
"Awesome! I wonder what their world is going to be like?" Lila asked.
"I don't know but I am excited to meet them, after all from what I read about Amazons, their tough and powerful women," Jane explained.
"They are, and I have to give you boys a heads up, the Amazons are leary around men so you boys need to be careful around them," Iris explained.
" Alright, thanks Iris," Jake said.
"Anything for my friends! Now let's get going and warn them about the invasion," Iris stated and opened the portal that would take them to the Amazon's world.
The Squads and the Royal Children all got ready and went through the portal to warn the Amazons about the upcoming invasion of their kingdom.
In the Shadow Realm, Jack and John were heading to Adrienne's room as she had requested their presence. When they arrived in her room they saw that a doctor was checking up on her.
"Hello my queen, how are you doing today?" Jack asked.
"Ugh what do you think!?" Adrienne asked angrily in a croaked voice.
"Um... you requested our presence?" Jack asked.
"That's better, I want to know if you two are willing to lead another invasion?" Adrienne asked.
"Why of course we are my queen. You just rest and my brother and I will take care of the invasion for you," John said.
"Good... Cough-Cough" Adrienne said before coughing and spluttering.
"Hmm Well my queen it looks like you have a dark fever common around this time of year. All you need is just about a week's worth of bed rest and you'll be much better," the doctor explained.
"Ugh! I better get better by then! I'm not willing to spend any more than a week in bed!" Adrienne explained angrily.
"I know but you should just rest for now, and I'll bring you some medicine," the doctor said as they got up and packed up their things.
"My queen, you don't need to worry about your pretty little head. John and I will take care of the invasions till you're better, you just rest and get better," Jack explained.
"If that's the case then you two get to work now! The Rainbow Squads could be at the Amazons at any moment and you two need to strike before they have time to alert them," Adrienne explained.
"Of course my queen. Let's go Jack and get the invasion ready before the squads alert the Amazons about us," John said. He then grabbed Jack by the wrist and brought him out of the room and to the army they'd use for the invasion.
Meanwhile outside of the room the Shadow shifter was hiding in the shadows listening in on the conversation. When they heard that Adrienne's condition was that of a fever they wished they could feel relief. However they couldn't but they did understand that it meant that no one would suspect that Adrienne was poisoned with a potion.
Now that they knew how long they had till Adrienne was better they decided to take something out of the treasure room before planning their great escape. They made their way to the treasure room and when they arrived they saw that the room held many treasures and artifacts items that were mostly stolen from Iris's kingdom. In the center of the room was a big mirror that they knew that Iris would be happy to learn more about. So they snuck up to the mirror and took it out of its place, they then put a look alike in its place to make sure that no one would get suspicious.
'Alright now all I gotta do is make a portal and leave this place once and for all. Hopefully I can finally find a way to start feeling emotions and even become a human. The other shadow shifters don't think it's possible, but that's only because none of us have ever tried before. So I'll be the first, and I hope that I can indeed become a human and have feelings once and for all,' the Shadow shifter thought to themselves as they snuck out of the treasure room and planned their escape.
Currently in the Amazon's kingdom, the Amazon queen was in the main center of the kingdom ensuring that the preparations for her eldest daughter's birthday was going well.
"My queen, everything is going as planned, but we still haven't found your eldest daughter yet," the Queen's instructor explained.
"Oh my, where could she be?" the queen asked.
"I'm unsure but I can have the guards go out and look for her," the instructor seguested.
"I think that would be best, I know Freya can defend herself but I still want to make sure that she's alright," the queen explained.
"Alright and shall I also check on your other three daughters?" the Instructor asked.
"Yes please, I can't do that myself right now as I'm very busy with the preparations, so I'll trust you to make sure my daughters are all safe," the queen explained.
The instructor nodded and left to go have some guards to find Freya and bring her home safely.
Currently Freya was in her own personal alone place as she needed some time to herself. While she was happy it was her birthday, she'd needed some alone time. That's because everyone was all over her and it was starting to get overwhelming so she needed some space. So she went to her special place that only she knew about and she felt much better.
"Ahh this is so nice! I love my birthday and I'm happy that my younger sisters gave me such a beautiful necklace, but all this attention is too much. I needed some time to get lost within my own thoughts and recharge before the celebration," Freya said to herself.
She took the necklace she was given and examined it as well as the little trinkets on it. Each of her sisters put on a charm that represents each of their own interests. Her first sister put a tiny hand crafted bow and arrow charm as she was a sharpshooter. Her second sister made a cute little bunny charm as she loved animals. Finally her youngest sister made her a charm that looked just like a flower, as she loved plants and nature. Freya smiled at the charms as she held on to the beautiful handmade necklace fondly.
"Ah I love you three, you all are so cute and you all do so much for everyone. I know you three will do so much when you're all grown up," Freya said to herself as she looked back up to the sky.
After about five minutes Freya got up and stretched her arms and legs as they felt limp and a bit cramped. "Ahh that's better, I feel like I've had enough time so I'm gonna head back home. Knowing how mom is, I have a feeling she's gonna have some guards come look for me and make sure I'm alright," Freya said to herself.
As she got up she saw a light out of the corner of her eyes, she looked and saw a portal door formed not too far away from her. "Wow! A portal door! Haven't seen one of those for a while! Wait... who's gonna come through the portal?!" Freya asked herself.
She felt worried and concerned about who would come through the portal. Then Iris, the Squads, the animal guides, and the other Royal Children all came out of the portal. When Freya saw them she was shocked to see new Rainbow Squads, the other Royal Children, and especially Iris and the animal guides.
'Strange, what's with the New Squads?! Why are the other Royal Children here?! And what are Iris and the animal guides doing here?! We haven't heard from her family and kingdom in two years. So why are they all here after all this time?... I better ask them, maybe I can get an explanation as to what happened and why Iris and her Kingdom went dark on us all of a sudden,' Freya thought to herself.
She then made her way over to the group intending to get some answers to the large number of questions she had going through her head.
"We're here! I can't wait to start running around and chasing my tail around!" Umang exclaimed excitedly.
"Hehe you've already done that back in the Centaur kingdom," Faith said.
"What can I say, I just love being super active! Anything that gets me going and my heart beating, I'll go for it!" Umang declared happily.
"I know that but don't go too fast for me please, you know I have asthma so I can't run that much without going into an asthma attack," Josh explained.
"Oh dont worry I'll be careful and make sure I don't accidentally send you into an asthma attack," Umang explained reassuring Josh.
Josh smiled at that feeling better at Umang's words and reassurance that he won't be sent into an asthma attack.
"Hey guys! We need to focus on the task at hand! We need to get to the Amazon's kingdom and warn them about the invasion before it's too late!" Hannah explained.
"Yeah she's right! We need to be quick before the shadows invade and try to take over," Iris explained.
"Well I just hope we don't see those creepy brothers again, especially that Jack guy, he gives me the creeps," Jake explained with his arms crossed.
"I understand you Jake, that Jack guy is very creepy, along with his brother John," Jane said.
The others all nodded in agreement at Jane and Jake's statement on Jack and John. Iris however was a bit distracted as the mention of the two made her feel uncomfortable... but not in the same way. Whenever the two were around she felt this intense form of hate and darkness coming from their hearts. It made her feel sick and weak, however she felt like that whatever it was, it wasn't a true part of them.
"Hey Iris!" Iris was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard someone calling her name.
She looked up and saw Freya running up to her, waving her arms to get her attention.
"Hey look! It's Freya! The Amazons princess!" Oberon exclaimed excitedly.
"Hey Freya! You look amazing! You get a new haircut?" Melody asked.
"Yes I did, thank you for asking, but I have some questions I wanna ask," Freya explained.
"What's that, Freya?" Cen asked.
"Well first of all, Iris what happened to you and your kingdom?! We haven't heard from you all in two years!" Freya asked aggressively.
"Well it's a long story, but King Lucifer invaded my kingdom and took over. I managed to escape with Apollo, and the Rainbow amulets," Iris explained.
Amanda then stepped up next to Iris and said, "Yeah and we took a little while, but we managed to escape as well!"
"Yeah and now that we have the Rainbow Squads we can fight back! But we need to get to your mom ASAP!" Paccia exclaimed.
"What why? What's going on?" Freya asked.
"Well Adrienne has planned an invasion on your kingdom; she plans to take your kingdom's magical artifact and make it just like mine," Iris explained.
"What! Oh no! No one takes my kingdom's magic artifact let alone try to invade my kingdom and get away with it!" Freya declared.
"Yeah! She tried to do the same to our kingdom and we're going to show them what for!" Oberon declared confidently.
"Yeah she's not going to get away with what she tried to do to our kingdoms, and what she and her father did to Iris's kingdom!" Melody also declared.
"I agree! Now let's go! We don't know when the invasion will happen, but we gotta get to Freya's kingdom before it's too late!" Cen explained.
"Yeah Cen's Right, so Freya please lead the way and let's go warn your mom and kingdom!" Hannah stated.
"Will do! Follow me! Let's go and stop them!" Freya declared and led them to her kingdom.
She led them through the field that her secret hideout was in and bee lined right to her kingdom. When they arrived Freya saw some guards coming out of the gates of her kingdom.
"Hey! Guards! Over here!" Freya called out. The Guards turned to the sound of Freya's voice and when they saw her they ran up to her immediately.
"Princess Freya! Where have you been?! Your mother is worried about you!" one of the guards explained.
"I was just in my secret alone place! Everyone's been doting over me for my birthday so much that I needed some space," Freya explained.
"Well we were asked to bring you back home," the guard explained.
"Yeah well I also need to see my mother as my friends here have something to say to her," Freya explained as she stepped aside and showed the group.
"Oh! Your Majesties! Our apologies for not noticing you all earlier," one of the guards said before they all bowed to the Royal Children.
"It's alright but we really need to talk to Queen Diana right away!" Iris stated.
"Yes! At once your highness! Follow us!" the guard said and led the group to Diana.
When the Squads entered the kingdom the boys were instantly noticed by the Amazons. When the boys saw the Amazons looking at them they felt uncomfortable.
"Um, why are they looking at us?" Josh asked, feeling discomfort.
"Don't worry they won't do anything, they're just not used to men being in their kingdom. They have seen other men from both this world and others, men being within their kingdom walls itself is rare," Cen explained.
"Yeah plus, because you all are Rainbow Squads and me and Cen here are Princes they can trust us," Oberon explained.
"Okay thanks for the reassurance," Josh said, feeling much better.
"Well I'm fascinated by this place as there is so much to learn in all these worlds! I'm hoping to learn some amazing facts about this world like I did with the others," Ed explained.
"Hehe I have a feeling by the time we get back you're going to be making a whole book about what you learned on this adventure," Erick stated.
"Yeah I am! It's going to be a lot of fun!" Ed exclaimed.
"Well it'll be fun for you, but for me I'm gonna be listening to lots of my favorite tunes when I get home," Erick said.
"Hey guys! We're with Queen Diana!" Hannah called out.
The boys all straightened up when they heard that as they didnt know what she'd think of them.
"Hey don't worry she wont hurt you boys," Akira said.
"You sure she won't?" Erick asked.
"Yeah! She's the kinda woman I've known, and I've met many within my lifetime," Amara explained.
They all then looked and saw Queen Diana coming up to them and looking over them all. "Well this is unexpected, Iris, I haven't seen you in sometime," Diana said.
"Yes I know your highness but there's a reason for that," Iris said.
"Yeah! King Lucifer invaded our kingdom and took over! He also tried to steal the Rainbow Crystal Heart! But thankfully we got its shards back and we're working to restore it back to its former glory!" Dillion explained.
"He did what?!" Diana exclaimed, surprised.
"Yeah! But like I said, we're working on restoring the heart and getting our kingdom back!" Dillion exclaimed.
"Yeah we're going to save our world and restore Iris's home too!" Jenny exclaimed.
"Well that's good to hear, but why do you all also come to me as well?" Diana asked.
"Well that's because-" BAM, Iris was cut off when a loud bam came from the castle.
"AHHH! MOMMY!" A little girl cried out.
"OH NO! NATTALIE!" Diana called out when she heard her daughter scream.
"Nattalie, Brettney, Scarlet!" Freya screamed alongside her mother.
The group all ran to the castle and saw a shadow coming out of it. The Squads and Royal children's eyes all widened when they saw Jack and John coming out of the castle.
"Oh god, them again!" Lila groaned.
"I know they're so creepy," Jake said.
"Well yeah they are, but don't allow your fear to control you Jake," Paccia said.
"Yeah you all jussst remember your duty asss Rainbow SSSquadsss and fight!" Katie encouraged me.
"Their right guys! Let's go, we're Rainbow Squads and we fight and protect! We protect the innocent from creeps like them! So no matter how disturbing they are, we should never allow our fears to get the better of us!" Hannah declared.
The other Squads all nodded confidently and they all got into a fighting position.
"ALL TOGETHER! RAINBOW POWER ACTION!" The Squads all screamed together and transformed into their Rainbow Squad forms.
Their outfits all took the forms of the Amazons' battle armor. The girls armor looked similar to the guards armor, but had their amulets colors on them, while the boys had armor that men would have had, if there were any in the kingdom. When they transformed Jack and John noticed the light and when the two saw them, they smiled sinisterly.
"Hehe well well well, looks like the Rainbow kids all joined the party," John stated mockingly.
"Cut the crap John!" Erick spat.
"Yeah! We can do this one of two ways! The first involves no one getting hurt! The second involves you and your brother crying like babies!" Jane declared.
"Ohh is that so you pretty little flower~ Well I think there might be another option for us," Jack said sinisterly.
"If you think you can persuade us to back down then you're mistaken!" Josh declared.
"Yeah! We'll fight till the end! We'll never surrender," Lila declared.
"Aww well then, I guess I caught them for nothing," Jack said mockingly, as he pulled out three little girls.
"MY DAUGHTERS! YOU ANIMAL! DON'T YOU DARE HURT MY DAUGHTERS!" Diana demanded angrily.
"Aww are you sweet, I'm sorry Missy but if the Squads don't give in to what my brother and I demand, then I'll be forced to," Jack stated.
"Yeah so we'll make it simple, surrender your kingdom to us and we'll spare your daughters, if not well then," John then pulled out a sword and continued, "well then you can guess what will happen." As he finished his statement the sword blade went up in flames.
"Oh no! He took the fire sword! That's my kingdom's most powerful artifact," Freya explained.
Hannah looked around and thought of a plan to save the girls so Diana wouldn't have to surrender anything. As she looked around and when she spotted the other artifacts she got an idea. She started speaking but low enough so only her team could hear her.
"Guys I have a plan! Melody, you use your comb to put out the sword's fire, Cen you use your hammer to create a strong earthquake to destabilize them, and Oberon you use your staff to make a strong enough wind to blow them right to our grown level! Jake, Lila, Ed you three save the girls and get them somewhere safe! Erick, Josh, Jenny you three fight off the other shadows and make sure they can't hurt anyone! Jane, you're with me and you will help me fight Jack and John!" Hannah explained.
The others all nodded at the plan, and got into position to do their parts in the fight. The animal guides all got into position to observe and watch the squads as they worked together.
"So Diana, what will it be? Your daughters or your kingdom?" John asked.
Diana looked down and then looked up at her three youngest daughters gazing at her with worry.
"Sigh... Fine, just let my daughters go," Diana said.
John and Jack smiled at this, they felt like they had just won the battle and would make Adrienne proud. However before they did anything else Cen slammed his hammer down on the ground as hard as he could and that made a giant earthquake. The earthquake was so strong that it caused Jack and John to fall off balance. Melody used her comb to spray both Jack and John, the water also splashed on the sword, putting it out. Oberon used his staff to make a tornado that made John drop the sword and prevented either of them from concentrating on using any magic.
This caused the strings that Jack had tied the three young Amazonions up in, to disappear. In turn they fell, which prompted Jake, Lila, and Ed to act and save them. Jake used his shields to catch Nattalie, Lila extended her bow and caught Brettney, and Ed ran under Scarlet and managed to catch her.
Erick, Josh and Jenny all fought off the Shadows that had started advancing onto them. Jack and John meanwhile managed to get back up on their feet and went for the sword.
However Jane and Hannah ran right in front of them and blocked them from getting to the sword. Hannah fought off Jack with her sword while Jane fought John off with her fans. Jack tried using his strings to grab onto Hannah; however, she used her magic sword to cut them whenever they tried to grab her. John meanwhile tried using his guns to shoot Jane, but she used her fans to deflect the bullets with ease.
Jack soon stopped using his strings to catch Hannah, and decided to use his strings to form a red sword with a black handle, and red blade. He used this to clash with Hannah's sword, making the fight a little harder for her as she had never properly been in sword-fight before.
"Oh you fight so well, just like how he did before," Jack commented.
"What do you mean? Who this He?" Hannah asked, confused.
"Hehe! Oh you'll know, but for now I'm just going to see if you're just as much of a fighter as he was!" Jack exclaimed and started slicing faster.
This caught Hannah off guard as she tried her best to keep up with Jack, even if he went so fast. However Jack was soon able to gain the upper hand when he slipped his leg under Hannah and tripped her. Hannah fell down and made a loud grunt when her back hit the dirt ground, this caused Jane to take her eye's off John and look over to her friend. This unfortunately gave John the upper hand and he grabbed onto Jane tightly.
"AH! Let me go, you cowboy creep!" Jane screamed as she struggled to get out of his grip.
"Ahah! Not in your wildest dreams kid!" John declared.
The others all saw their friends getting overwhelmed by the two brothers; however, with the number of Shadows that kept on coming at them they couldn't help them as they couldn't risk getting captured themselves.
"Hehe well, looks like you aren't as good as him, after all he was always able to beat me," Jack stated.
"Ugh! You jerk! You're never going to win! You know that right?" Hannah asked angrily.
"Well it looks like we did, don't you have any other words to say to me?" Jack asked.
"How about this? GET THE HECK OUT OF MY KINGDOM!" Freya screamed angrily.
Jack then turned to the sound of Freya's voice and he was then hit with a blast of fire that was so strong he was thrown back.
"JACK! HANG IN THERE BROTHER!" John screamed as he roughly threw Jane to the ground and quickly ran to his brother.
Hannah got up and looked to see Freya holding the sword which was burning bright now. Freya looked to Hannah and gave her a smile and a nood, to which Hannah returned the gesture. She then got back up, grabbed her sword off the ground, and looked at the two brothers. The others all managed to defeat the shadows and they took a look at the brothers as well. They saw John helping Jack up, and they also saw some black liquid oozing out of the injury that Jack had received from the attack. John then shot them all an angry glared as he helped his brother up.
"This isn't over! We'll make you all pay!" John declared angrily as he teleported away with his brother.
"Um, what was leaking out of Jack?" Josh asked.
"I don't know but it was gross," Jenny said.
"Yeah I agree," Dillion said.
"Whatever it was, I have a feeling we'll find out what it was soon," Jane said.
"Oh my Stars! You saved my daughters!" Diana screamed happily.
The Squads looked to Diana and saw she was holding her three youngest daughters in her arms.
"Aww don't mention it, we didn't want those creeps to hurt your kids," Lila said.
"Yeah and I'm glad we were able to save them," Hannah said.
"Me too, thank you all so much! You saved my kingdom and my daughters, and for that my people will help you all whenever you need us," Diana said.
"Thank you Diana, we appreciate the help," Hannah said.
Diana smiled at that, she then straightened up and said, "Now then I believe it's still Freya's birthday, why don't we all celebrate both the victory, and more importantly, Freya's special day."
Everyone nodded at the offer, as they all needed some time to rest after the battle. So they all joined in with helping fix up the area that was wrecked and setting up the party. Later that day they all celebrated and wished Princess Freya a happy birthday.
