Somewhere in the Inferno Realm...
"UGH- Man, this entity is really stubborn!" Gabriella yelled, as she swung her silver sword at Vulcan's only remaining guard, splitting it in half and leaving it deceased. "It is.. but don't retreat just yet!" Brooklyn responded from up above on her transportation cloud with Juno and Sienna. "Brooke, stop here, I can see Vulcan with Agni and Clara! I'll handle him." The wrestler requested. Brooklyn did as she asked and stopped the cloud from moving further. Sienna stood up and aimed for where Vulcan stood. "AGNI, MOVE!!" With that, she leaped down from Brooklyn's cloud, aimed for the main entity and gave it an aggressive kick to the head, knocking him over and giving Agni the chance to finish him off. After just a few seconds of giving it a few good attacks with his own weapon, Vulcan surrendered and was successfully defeated, retreating to his original home. The rest of the league got back together to reorganize everything.
"Whew, amazing work once again, FLOMO! That's one entity from the Arson Realm gone... For now. And also, Apologies for burning you with that fireball, Hya." Clara spoke, now looking at Hya, who had an obvious burn mark on her dress. "It's fine. I was just trying to get Crybaby out of the way." "...Anyways, now let's all focus on cleaning up this mess. Seraphina, Pixxie, you both know what to do." The witch commanded. Sera, the reaper, and Pixxie, the regenerator, knew what she meant and quickly got to work. Pixxie used their magical flute to bring back any of the realm life lost during battle, while their companion, the lavender squirrel-mouse button hybrid, Patch, used a special chant in Magiquese to enhance the sound of the music. Seraphina and Quinn walked up to the various deceased guard's bodies to disintegrate them and turn them into light energy that can boost the realm's stability. As well as looking for any valuables they may have held. While they did that, Ivory wandered to the side.. and found a strange, large red diamond lying on its side and covered in ash from the battle.
"Uhh... hey guys! Do any of you know what this... giant red diamond is?" She questioned. Everyone paused what they were doing to see what she was referring to. And even they were as equally confused to see it. "Huh? That wasn't here before!" Cassidy mentioned. "It wasn't..." Clara walked up to the diamond and examined it. It appeared to have two 'joints' attached on the bottom of it, and wasn't scuffed or scratched aside from the ash coating it. "Do you thoink it's a voiluable?" Bethany asked. Clara didn't seem so certain. "I don't think so.. valuables are never THIS big." Agni stepped forward and realized something. "Hold on, why does this thing look just like my diamond?!" He questioned. The league members and companions panned their eyes over and saw the resemblance as well, as well as the diamond glowing a bit once he spoke. "It does! Same shade of red and everything.. maybe it's linked to your diamond in some way?" Ember theorized. Agni shrugged. "..I think we should take it back to the main islands with us, just to see if it'll be worth anything. In the mean time, everyone, get back to what you were doing!" Clara suggested. Everyone else agreed and continued on with their tasks.
~~
After all that, the league returned back home to where the hideout was located and reverted to their normal forms. Candle brushed herself off and looked back to see Yang (now merged with Yin again) and Suitcase bringing in the diamond together. "Where do you want us to put this?" Yin asked. "Anywhere is fine, It's clearly too large to bring into the hideout anyway." She confirmed. The demons nodded and continued with finding an appropriate spot to place the diamond. They ended up placing it right next to where the entrance to the hideout was. Now, they just had one more thing to figure out: What is it even for? Yang ultimately decided to contact Ignatius, the Flame Deity, on his own diamond to get some more details.
"Ah, hi Agni. Did you and the others conclude the battle?" The deity greeted, Agni nodded. "Yep. But noww we have something else we wanna ask ya." He controlled the body and walked over to where they set the diamond. "After our battle, Icy noticed this weird red diamond that looks too much like mines, and we don't know what it's for. Is it a valuable or some other weird item??" He asked. Ignatius immediately knew what he was talking about, responding with, "Oh! You already found the first master diamond!". The rest of the league was immediately confused. "Master-what??" Saw asked. "...Don't ever say that again. But yes, the first Master Diamond. It's a new item that Iris has been testing for you all. Basically, we felt as though it would be pretty time consuming to constantly be heading out to other realms and gathering any materials you may need for yourselves, the companions, or the spirits. Especially with you all being watched by entities. So before your battle, we came to a unanimous agreement that creating these larger diamonds would be more helpful for you all." "What does it do?" Lightning asked.
"Well, when you set it up properly, these diamonds will be able to propagate any items for you! And maybe even... serve as a reincarnation machine?" Ignatius added. The Inanimate Island league members didn't get what he meant, but the Goikians certainly did. "..You mean a recovery center?" Saw asked. Ignatius nodded in confirmation. "Yes..whatever you want to refer it as." Everyone gasped. "Oh my word! Seriously?! We haven't had one of those in forever!" Book exclaimed. "And we haven't either... or at all ever since we blew up Cobs! THIS IS HUGE NEWS?!" Suitcase exclaimed, quickly being follows by the other II league members. "Yup. Basically, how it works is that if your body dies but your diamond remains untouched, your soul will end up being trapped within the diamond. If you bring it to this Master Diamond however, you'll easily be able to be brought back to life! Simple, right?" Ignatius elaborated. The league understood. "Really simple! This is incredible! It'll be such a great advantage for all of us!" Cabby stated. But Ignatius followed that up with something else.
"BUT- there's another thing I want to add about it. See, you guys only found the red diamond. We created 13 other giant diamonds that are all hidden in various realms. You need to collect all of them if you want it to work completely efficiently. Sorry." The league stopped exclaiming and now looked annoyed. "What?!" Yin responded. "Oh come on dude, seriously?!" Teardrop telepathically added. "I know guys it's sooo lame but that's how things work around here. Plus, it won't be too much of a hassle! They're all in realms you're mostly familiar with. We'll all send you mental notes on where they're located exactly. So no worries!" He retaliated. Yang exhaled. "Fine. We'll try and get them all together.." "Good. Thank you, Agni." With that, Yang ended the call.
After a few minutes, everyone was notified on where the other remaining diamonds were. "Ok! For starters, the big magenta diamond is hiding in the Spiritual Realm." Candle spoke. "Me and Lilith will go retrieve it together." She was then followed by Clover. "Oh, convenient! The cyan one is in the Lavish Realm!" ..who was followed by Lightning. "And the green one's in the Electro Realm." Suitcase quickly added it up. "Huh. So it looks like all of the diamonds were placed in realms that are generally more safe for us to enter?" She assumed. "Sure looks like it, cos the pink diamond is located in the Cupid's Realm!" Book responded. With that, everyone else listed the locations of the other diamonds:
The Orange Diamond is in the Aerial Realm
The Yellow Diamond is in the Serene Realm
The Blue Diamond is in the Bittersweet Realm
The Indigo Diamond is in the Frigid Realm
The Purple Diamond is in the Cyber Realm
The White, Grey, and Black Diamonds were in the Specter Realm
And the Gold Diamond is in the Soulful Music Realm.
"Ok, now, how are we going to go into those realms and get the diamonds all at the same time? There's only one transportation weapon here." Gaty asked. Lilith then had an idea. "I got it! What if we companions took a portion of the transportation weapon's power, and you use us to take you to those realms?" She suggested, with the other companions nodding alongside her. Candle liked the idea and got the weapon to make that happen. After that was all completed and the companions became temporary teleportation machines, everyone was ready to get those diamonds.
"WAIT!!" Yang called out, catching Candle's attention. "What, Yang?" "What am I supposed to do?? We already found the red diamond." He asked. Candle shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe just watch the hideout until we all get back?" She suggested, as Lilith opened a portal to the Spiritual Realm. She stepped into it, leaving the red demon and his companion alone. "Aw man, they left us behind..." Ember sadly expressed. But then, something occurred to them.
"WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT!!!"
~~
The Aerial Realm
Suitcase (Now warped back into Sienna Bagfall) and Ibu arrived in the orange diamond's location: The Aerial Realm. High up in the skies, and created by Theia, the Acrobatic Deity, this realm is inhabited with the most strong, well trained, and aerobic objects that no other realm inhabitant has ever seen. From Gymnasts, Circus Performers, and other Wrestlers. The magical wrestler herself was lucky enough to know this area so well. Now, she had to search for that diamond.
"Feels wonderful to be in this realm again." Ibu told her, given the fact that he was indeed born here. "Well, Theia told me that she placed the orange diamond near a circus here. Do you know what she's talking about?" Sienna asked. Ibu attempted to figure out what she meant. With his eyes lighting up as he remembered what it was. "Oh yeah... The All Star Aerial Circus! I used to go there all the time. Follow me!" He explained. He flew up and lead Sienna to where the location was. After a few minutes, they had arrived. And from looking at the entrance sign, they seemed to have a new performance happening now. "Ooh.. The main star tonight is Posy Rosary! She's most known for her heavy lifting skills. Maybe the diamond's inside?" The moth companion assumed. Sienna wasn't so sure. "Guess we should check." The duo made their way into the circus. Where they were quickly noticed by several of the show goers who attended. "Oh my Theia! Is that Sienna Bagfall?!" Exclaimed one. "Yes, it is!" A small group of attendees then ran up to her. She and the other league members were quite popular in all of the realms, after all. "Woah! Uh- Hello.. everyone!" The wrestler awkwardly greeted. She and Ibu were when hit with several other compliments.
"You and the league are incredible!!"
"How do you kick those entities so far away?"
"My daughter loves you, Sienna!"
The duo weren't exactly sure how to deal with this attention. Suddenly, the main artistic director of the show came barging in. "Bad news, everyone! The main star tonight is now unable to preform." He abruptly announced. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in disappointment. They were all eager to see her tonight. The group of objects surrounding Sienna then broke apart, revealing her to the director. "Hold on..." He then approached her. "..You're Sienna Bagfall! The strong, wrestler like magical girl from that new league of Magical Objects, correct?" He asked. Sienna nodded. "Yeah. I was called here by Theia to pick up some sort of.. Orange Diamond? She told us it was somewhere in here. Why do you ask, though?" "Well, if you're up for it, now that our main star is out for tonight, perhaps you can fill in for her? She's just like you, after all!" He offered.
Sienna wasn't so sure. But Ibu definitely was. "You should do it, Sienna! I've always wanted to star in these shows." Eventually, Sienna nodded. "Of course. We'll do it together!" The director was delighted to hear her answer, and so were the attendees. "Excellent! Follow me, I'll show you what to do."
~~
After half an hour, Sienna learned what she needed to do. And with that, the show was on. The ringmaster went into the center of the stage to introduce everyone to the group of inhabitants.
"Madlads, Lasses and Lassos, Welcome to tonight's show! While we were originally meant to star Posy Rosary, we now ended up having to change the role last second! You may know this magical girl from the league known as FLOMO.. but if you don't, I'll introduce her myself! Everyone put on a face of glee for Sienna Bagfall, accompanied by her companion, Ibu!" With that, he pulled back the curtain and revealed the magical girl in the flesh.
What was she meant to do, though? Well, show the audience just how many items she can lift at once with the use of her heavy wrestling boots, of course!
One by one, the ringmaster tossed a good number of items at the wrestler. Each one leveling up the weight. Started simple enough. A book, A brick, and bowling ball. But then it slowly escalated to a medium sized boulder, a water jug, and then a table. Escalating further to a sofa, cabinet, and even a fridge. All while the audience watched in amazement.
And then they moved onto the last item, the grand piano.
"Oh boy..." Ibu uttered, watching Sienna toss the previous items to the side, and exhaling. The ringmaster, and a few other of the performers brought in the piano. "And now, for a finale!!" With that, the performers threw the piano straight at the wrestler. Knocking her down, and causing the audience, and Ibu, to gasp.
But after a few seconds, Sienna got back up, and lifted the Piano with her single foot. Ibu flew up and stood on it as well. The audience all started cheering in surprise. That magical object really IS strong! And after all that, her performance had ended. She and Ibu went backstage and met up with the director.
"Wow.. you guys killed it! I'm sure Posy would be equally as proud too." He complimented. Sienna laughed. "It's no big deal, thanks for having us!" She then noticed the Ringmaster pulling out the large orange diamond. "It's a good thing we found that Piano. If not, I would've used this instead!" He told the other performers. Sienna's eyes lit up.
"The diamond!" She walked up to the ringmaster. "Ok, I finished my assistance, may I have that orange diamond? It's actually what I came here for." The ringmaster nodded. "Of course! Take it with yer!" Sienna was delighted, her mission was now complete!
Now, time to check in with the other 12 members.
~~
The Cyber Realm
Cabby (Now as Callie Interlock) and Opal arrived in the Cyber Realm. Created by Zion, the Technological Deity, this originally pitch dark area was converted into a huge neon city illuminated with bright lights, signs, and other eye catching sources that guide the way. The inhabitants here are very good with technology too, according to Opal, all of their stuff happened to be very advanced.
"Okay, where Zion put the purple diamond?" Opal questioned. Callie wrote down what he had told her before so she wouldn't forget. "Apparently, he stored it in an Electronic Store that shouldn't be too far away. You're familiar with this realm, right?" Callie asked. Opal nodded. "You want I to lead you?" Callie nodded. Opal began looking for the store. Eventually, he found it. iGlow Electronics. "Zion gave my me own phone from here before. But I accidentally 'breaked' it. Did I told you that before?" Callie shook her head. "No. This is the first time you're telling me this. Now, off to find the diamond." She ordered. They both went inside the store. The place was surprisingly packed. There, Callie walked up to an employee at the counter. Who also happened to know who she is.
"Oh my? You're Callie Interlock! This is a pleasant surprise." They expressed. Callie let out a tiny 'haha'. "Yup. That's me. Anyways, I was called here by Zion to pick up some sort of large purple diamond. He said he left it somewhere in here." She explained. Luckily, the employee knew what she was talking about. "Ah! Give me a second." They went into the storage room and rolled out the diamond on a lift with wheels. The diamond itself had some sort of technical pattern around it. "We were wondering how this wound up behind the shop. But that's ok. Here's your diamond!" Callie and Opal smiled. "Wow, that was easy! Thank you so much. Now we can head back to the hideout." She said with glee.
Opal looked over and noticed a cool looking device on a corner table. He flew up to get a closer view. "Ooh! Is this new tablet you made?" He asked. The employee nodded. "Correct! We invented them just 3 weeks ago. They're called GlowTabz." "What do they do?" Callie asked. "Anything really! You can contact others with them more efficiently, use them to navigate certain areas, and more! I think it would be a great item for you magical objects, especially." The employee elaborated. Callie was intrigued. "They do seem like a pretty high tech advantage..."
"How much are they?"
"19 dollars each."
Callie was shocked to hear that. "Really? JUST 19??" Opal nodded. "Items here are more minus expensive if you're from other universe.." Callie then made up her mind. "I'll take 14 of em."
~~
The Serene Realm
Teardrop (As Tori Oceanid) and Coraly arrived at the Serene Realm. Created by the Marine Goddess, Calypso. This Realm is pretty much just a large glittery beach with marvelous and iridescent waterfalls, lakes, and oceans, that shine and are filled with multiple kinds of marine creatures that cause no harm to any of its inhabitants. Everyone gets along pretty nicely. Not to mention, this realm in particular is filled to the brim with beautiful pearls, seashells, and other valuable treasures. Coraly (now as a mermaid again) jumped out of Tori's arm and crawled to the lake in front of them.
"Oh, sparkly blue oceans, how I've missed you!!" She said to herself. Tori activated her telepathy device. "Don't get too excited, we gotta find the yellow diamond." Coraly nodded. "I'm aware." She replied, picking up a few pearls and hiding them in her skirt pocket. "Calypso told me that the yellow diamond is somewhere under the sea in this area.. we just have to swim around until we find it." The mermaid confirmed. Coraly was glad to hear that. "Oh, awesome! Let's go!!" She happily said. Tori ran over to her and followed her further into the water. When they reached a good spot, they dove in together.
The inside of the water felt really nice. The duo could see bits of sparkles floating around, as well as a bunch of valuables on the floor. "Man.. how many treasures do you guys have here?" Tori asked her companion, who shrugged in response. "Many is all I know. Now, which way should we head?" Coraly asked. Tori didn't know herself. Plus, with the amount of treasures blending together and lying around, who knows where it could be.
As they thought, Tori saw a heard of iridescent jellyfish swimming by. Coraly noticed this too and had an idea pop into her mind. "Heyyyy.. maybe these jellyfish know where we can go! Hang on a moment." The companion swam over to the group of jellyfish, confusing Tori. Apparently, Coraly never told her that she could communicate with marine life. Tori watched as the small mermaid 'talked' with the jellyfish in her own language:
"Hello! Me and my guardian were called here to pick up some sort of big yellow diamond. Can you help us find it?"
Surprisingly enough, the biggest one in the group understood what she was taking about, and began guiding them through the water.
"I didn't know you could talk with jellyfish!" Tori told Coraly. "Please, I've been able to do it since I was 4 months old. Believe me, sea animals and I get along really swell." She responded smugly.
For the next minute, the duo continued to follow this jellyfish, until they abruptly stopped. "What's wrong?" Tori questioned. The jellyfish pointed one of its arms to a treasure chest. Coraly swam towards it and noticed something glowing through the crack. "Oh! This might be the diamond! Hey, Jelli, can you help us unlock the chest?" She asked her friend. The jellyfish got close to the lock on the chest, and using its stinger, it zapped the lock, knocking it down onto the ground. Tori went up to them and lifted the top of the chest, and the yellow diamond was indeed in there. It had a faint glowing wave-like pattern around the top.
"Wow, awesome!" Tori lifted the diamond. Coraly turned to the jellyfish. "Yay! Thanks for helping us, Sir Jelli." She thanked, reaching out to one of the Jellyfish's arms for a friendly handshake. "You named him?" Tori questioned. "Yeah. Like 30 seconds ago."
~~
The Soulful Music Realm
Poppy (as Pixxie Acapella) and Patch landed in the Soulful Music Realm, created by Harper, The Harmonious Goddess. This realm inhabits the most passionate musicians no one has ever seen. From violinists, to pianists, and other song writers. Even upon entry, they could hear the orchestra playing from afar. Despite still actively trying to learn their language, Pixxie attempted to talk with Patch. (Their following conversation onward will be translated in bold text.)
"How do you live with this music playing all day??" They asked, who responded: "They do not play all the time. Only on the ends of the week days." She verified. Pixxie nodded, flipping one of their golden husks back and fluttering their wings. "Harper said that the gold diamond is in this music department in front of us. Care to search with me?" They confirmed, with the Lavender Button nodding. The duo went inside the apartment, only to be bombarded with the same orchestra music playing even louder. "HOLY HARPER!" Pixxie exclaimed in English. Patch didn't react. "Get used to this. We all are." Pixxie shrugged in response. "Now, this place is pretty spacious. Would it be a good idea to split up?" They suggested. Patch nodded. "Does not sound like a bad plan. You go left and me go right."
"I*." Pixxie corrected, confusing Patch. "What?" "You said 'Me go right.' That's,, not right." Patch didn't get it. "So?" Pixxie knelt down to Patch's level "I'm just trying to teach you right grammar." "What's supposed to that mean?!" Patch and Pixxie then started arguing over Patch's grammatical errors. But during their little argument, they were suddenly approached by another flutist who worked at the department. "Erm. What are you two doing here?" She questioned. Pixxie stood up and spoke in English. "Oh! Sorry, ma'am. Me and my companion were called here for a gold diamond that's located here. Do you know where it is?" They explained. The flutist wasn't sure what they were talking about. "Huh, I don't know actually. How about you follow me? It may be in the room of spare instruments." She offered. Pixxie nodded and picked up Patch. Walking behind the flutist. She knocked on the door and was met with one of her friends, Leon, who recognized Pixxie and Patch.
"Oh, this is interesting! What're these guys objects doing here, Holly?" He asked, appearing to wield around a small violin in his hand. "Harper told them to come here for a gold diamond of some sorts. Do you think it could be in here?" Holly asked. Leon shrugged. "Not sure. Let them in and we'll try and find it together." He replied. The group went inside the storage room, With Pixxie being surprised at the amount of instruments they actually had in here. "Wow, you guys really use ALL these in your performances?" They asked. Holly nodded. "Of course! It's what enhances the liveliness of our society, after all." "Yeah. I had already told you that before." Patch added. Eventually, Leon carefully shoved a few snare drums out of the way, uncovering the gold diamond, that was decorated in music notes. "Oh! Is this it?" He asked. Pixxie turned over, their eyes lighting up. "Yes! Thank you!" They responded gleefully. "Anytime, Pixxie." The young corn cob was surprised to hear him call them by their magical name.
"Oh, you actually do know us?" They asked, with Leon replying, "Yeah! Remember, that time you and Gabby helped fix my violin after an entity broke it?" Pixxie attempted to remember, and luckily, they did. "Oh yeah! It wasn't that hard to do. Say.. Me and my companion have some time to spare. You think you could play something for us? I like to learn more about all of this magical music!" The musical corn cob requested. Leon nodded in delight. "Of course! I'm happy to play for anybody interested."
~~
The Lavish Realm
Clover (As Cassidy Wood-Sorrel) and Tallie flew into the Lavish Realm together. Created by Gaia, The Evergreen Goddess. This realm allows all kinds of lush life to run free. Flowers, trees, leaves, vines, you name it. The place was practically built around forests and creeks. There were also various animals, birds and insects that thrive in this realm. It's a peaceful place for its inhabitants.
"These realms feel so much more majestic when we're not just in a battle area with an entity.." Cassidy spoke. Tallie nodded. "Yuh yup. Anyways, did Gaia tell you where exactly the cyan diamond is here?" "Yup! It's in a flower field down the forest from where we are. Let's go!" She confirmed. Tallie fixed their leaf hat upright and flew up to Cassidy's level. They both walked into the forest together. Cassidy was taken aback from all of the beautiful greenery that surrounded them and coated the grass. "Wow! You really grew up here?" The butterfly asked. Tallie responded, "Yuh yup. I was actually born from a special flower around here. Along with Gaia, nature raised me afterward." Cassidy was amazed from that. "Awesome! Now, I think we have to take a left." She confirmed. The duo continued to walk across the forest, until they slowly but surely started spotting exotic flowers around them. "Ooh! We must be getting close!" The butterfly said enthusiastically. And sure enough, she was right, they had reached the flower field after 3 more minutes.
But the only problem now was trying to find that diamond. The flowers were really tall and formed almost a maze like path. "Oh. Shoot. How are we gonna find the diamond in all of these?" Tallie asked. Cassidy wasn't so sure herself. But then she saw a white butterfly flying around. Having a lightbulb turn on in her head. "Ooh! I have an idea!" Cassidy flew up and got the butterfly's attention. Having the ability to communicate with animals herself, similar to Coraly, she started asking questions.
"Hello there! Me and my companion were told that there's a cyan diamond located in this flower field. Do you know where it is?" The butterfly fluttered its wings in affirmation, taking her and Tallie into the maze. Cassidy fell in love with the variety of colorful peonies, tulips, celosias, and hydrangeas surrounding them. After several lefts and rights, the butterfly showed them the glowing cyan diamond, covered in a kaleidoscope of butterflies. "YES!! Thank you!" She ran up to the diamond and examined it. She also enjoyed the sight of the butterflies. "Seems like you guys really like it too, right? Heehee!!"
~~
The Cupid's Realm
Book (as Bella Brooklyn Lovella) and Juno showed up in the Cupid's Realm. Created by Amora, The Adoration Goddess. This realm was somewhere up in the pink, cloudy, glittery skies, and was often nicknamed the 'world of true love'. Because that's what it really was. Almost everyone here lived a happy life with their beloved soulmates, fully committed to each other and with some even raising families together. The realm itself was adorned with beautiful red and pink flowers in the dark red bushes, fancy white fountains and statues, swans, doves, literal lovebirds, and the obvious smell of strawberries and vanilla notes.
"Ooh, this place is really enticing.. my sister would love it here!" Brooke exclaimed, confusing Juno. "What? You have a sister?" "..Yeah. And a brother. I'll tell you more about them when we get home. Right now, we should focus on finding that diamond!" The Cupid replied, with her companion nodding. "Where did Amora tell you it was?" "...I actually don't know. I got what she told me recorded on my diamond, give me a moment-" She was suddenly cut off by Juno tapping her shoulder and pointing at something.
"Wait! Isn't that the diamond?!" She called out. Brooke shifted her view to a certain male realm inhabitant, very obviously struggling to take the very pink diamond with him somewhere, the sound of it scraping the floor was obvious. The duo gasped. "It is! Where's that guy taking it??" Brooke asked. The companion shrugged. They ran up to him and stopped him before he could actually damage the diamond. "Excuse me! Sir??" Brooke spoke, causing the inhabitant to let go of the diamond. "What?" He responded in a clearly stressed out tone. "Uhh... I don't know if you know me, But I'm Brooklyn. Bella Brooklyn Lovella? Member of FLOMO. I've been here a few times before, and I was called today by Amora to pick up... that giant pink diamond you're taking with you." She explained. The inhabitant looked at the diamond, and at her. "Oh really? Why though?" He questioned. "Because.. I'm required to take it as an advantage for my league... and my friends. Why are you even taking it?" The Inhabitant sighed.
"My name's Seppi. I'm going out on a date with my.. beloved partner, Junia. And I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to find the perfect gift to bring her, only to no avail. I was about to give up until I found this inside of that rose bush. It's perfect! And you can't take it away from me!" He explained. Brooklyn and Juno didn't really know what to say. "Oh. Now this is kind of awkward..." Juno uttered under her breath. "Sorry bud, but we gotta revoke this diamond from ya. It's mandatory for us! You can find something else tho!" She added. This didn't help Seppi, and only made him more stressed.
"But you don't understand!! She LOVES fancy shiny items! No other thing here can replace it! NOTHING! I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO BUY FOR HERRR!!!" He now wailed. Brooke didn't really know how to respond. She put her hands together and released her special pink mist of warmth. Which is made to relax anybody who's overwhelmed or stressed out of their minds. It did its trick, and helped Seppi get his act together.
"Oh. Thank you." He responded in a more mellow tone. "It's no big deal. Now look, how about my companion and I take the time out of this mission to help you find something extraordinary for your partner, and in return, you give us the diamond. Does that sound ok?" Brooke offered. Seppi thought about it, and nodded. "Yeah, sure! Where do you think we should go?" He asked. Juno had the answer. "I know! There's a special superstore somewhere over here, I'm quite familiar with it. Let's go!" She confirmed. Leading Brooke and Seppi to that store
"Oh my Amora..."
…
Brooke and Seppi continued following Juno to the superstore. Eventually, they arrived right at the entrance. "Oh, stores like this give me memories..." Book said to herself. "I've been here before, it's where I got my crown! Now, where do you think we should head first, brah?" Juno spoke. Seppi's eyes darted all over the possible areas until his eyes landed on a jewelry store on the second floor. "Right there! I see some valuable items right from the front.." "Alrighty then." The trio made their way to that store, where Seppi almost immediately started to analyze every piece of jewelry available, hoping to find the best one for Junia. Brooke searched through earrings, bracelets, and chains with Juno. After about 10 minutes, they stumbled across what looked like an iridescent pink pearl necklace, with a shining diamond in the center.
"Oh! What about this?" Juno called out to Seppi, who ran over to see what she saw. His eyes lit up. "YES. That's the one! She loves pearls!" He answered. "Convenient! Now, you take it and let's get going!" Brooke asked. After a bit, he called over a staff member, purchased the necklace, and quickly dipped out of the store with the magical girls.
…
The trio made it to the location where Junia was. Sitting by herself on a bench waiting for Seppi. "There she is! Isn't she lovely?" He asked. To which Brooke replied, "I have no opinion on that. Now, you go say hi, and I'll bring the necklace." Seppi nodded and ran to Junia, catching her by surprise. "Oh? There you are, I wasn't sure if you would show up!" She stated, leading to an awkward laugh from Seppi. "I'm sorry, I spent the last hour looking for something to gift you! And I brought a special someone to hand deliver it to you." He explained, signaling Brooklyn over to the bench, where she held a small box containing the necklace. When she arrived, Junia gasped.
"Uhh... so, do you wanna-"
"NO. WAY. YOU BROUGHT BROOKLYN LOVELLA HERE FOR ME?!" Junia exclaimed. Surprising not only Seppi, but even Brooke. "Oh! Uhm..." Juno then cut him off. "YES he did!! You're Junia, correct?" She asked, the rose gold heart shaped locket nodded in delight. "Uh huh!" She got up from her seat and went up to the Cupid. "I've seen you before with your league when you battle entities...And I've always wanted to meet you!!! You may not know it, but you're the very reason why me and Seppi even met." She explained. "Oh, actually? When?" Brooke asked. "Back last month. When a certain scepter shaped entity was holding me captive and trying to take me into her realm to become an assistant? You and your league barged in and saved me! Then you dropped me off into a safe zone right next to this lovely man,,, and here we are today!" Junia elaborated. "Oooh!!! Yeah. I gave you a ride on my transportation cloud!" Brooklyn added. Junia nodded. "Uh huh! Seppi, I can't believe you would actually go out of your way to do this! I mean, maybe a pearl necklace would've been fine, but this is even better!!!"
From there, she ran to him and pulled him into the tightest hug possible. "I love you so much!!" Seppi hugged her back, and looked at Brooke and Juno with a face of gratitude. "Same here, Junia. Thank you, thank you, Brooklyn, you can take the diamond now." He quietly replied. Brooke nodded and thought about it. "That can wait until my friends collect their diamonds. Me and Juno would like to stay and hang out with you for the remainder of your date!" She offered. Seppi nodded in agreement.

The Bittersweet Realm
Yin (as Datura 'Hya' Elinora) and Crybaby made it to the Bittersweet Realm. Created by Dolores, the Sentimental Goddess. And despite its name, this realm was what could be considered the 'mindset of a 5 year old' Enamored with various sweets, pastel iridescent skies, sour rainbow belt bridges, gumdrop mounds, and other delightful elements. It's where one's inner child can run free, but where the constant sense of nostalgia can overwhelm one too and cause some sadness. It's what inspired its name anyway.
"Wow girl. How can you be born in a realm like this and still be so sad?" Hya asked Crybaby, who just glared at him in offense. "That's none of your business.. now where is the blue diamond?" She asked. "It's hidden in some sort of 'sugary sweetheart' forest. I haven't explored this place much, ya think you can try and find it?" The blue demon asked. "Uhh, sure! I can do it! Eclipse taught me how to travel to forest places.." She stated, flying into a random direction to her upper right. Hya didn't really know if she was actually capable of this, but still followed her. Best believe, it wasn't really going well. She kept traveling into random areas in the candied land. Every direction they headed in didn't lead anywhere. She was getting increasingly more agitated, but still insisted and told her guardian that she could do it.
After a few minutes of walking aimlessly, she looked to her right and tapped on Hya's horn. "Look! I can see the forest!" She called out. Hya saw what she referred to. Peppermints on the floor, imitating a stone path, heart shaped candies stuck on lollipops that mimic trees, and pastel marshmallows as shrubs. "Oh. Nice!" The duo ran into it, eager to locate the diamond. They began walking across the peppermint path, With Crybaby ripping a candy heart off a tree and giving it to Hya. He shifted his view onto a strange area in between some trees, stopping Crybaby.
"Are those.. giant ring pops scattered around?" He asked, the infantile baby bottle nodded. "Uh huh." The demon quickly realized something. "Then maybe that's why Dolores put it here. It blends with those other candies. Come along, let's try and find the real one." They went up to the various diamond shaped suckers. Analyzing each one until Crybaby noticed the oddly shining blue one on the far right. She tested it, taking a lick to see if it was real. Best believe, it was. She then yelled.
"Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"
The demon ran up to the baby. "Oh wow, you found it! Great job!" He complimented. Crybaby actually laughed in delight for once. It's quite rare for that to happen. "Should we leave now?" She suggested. Hya looked at the rest of the sweets around them. "Sure, but first let's collect some of these for our friends!"

The Frigid Realm
Ice Cube (as Ivory Hailstorm) and Lumi appeared in the Frigid Realm. Created by Crystal, the Hibernal Goddess. This realm is what Lumi considered a Winter Wonderland, because that's really what it was. Snowy weather all day every day, either with light blue, grey, or dark blue skies depending on the time of the day, and sparkly snowflakes found often fluttering around. The trees were covered in tinsel glitter leaves, lakes were typically frozen, and many inhabitants enjoyed a variety of activities such as snowball fights, decorating, or figure skating.
"Oohhhh... this place is perfect! Not sure how the other league members would like it though.." Ivory expressed. "Don't think they would be fans of these conditions. I heard the Subzero Realm is worse." Lumi added, confusing Ivory. "Wait, what's that?" "Some opposite realm created by an entity. But that's beside the point, where did Crystal say our diamond was?" "Near the... uh...Aurora lights?" She confirmed. Lumi immediately knew what she was talking about. It was an open field with blue fairy lights wrapped around the trees, where a special sight up in the skies would typically take place. She quickly explained that to Ivory, who was quite interested. "Cool! Now, lead me-" the ice princess was suddenly cut off by the faint sound of someone behind them crying.
"What is it?" Lumi asked. Ivory turned around and found who it was. A young paper plate with bright red cheeks, shivering from the cold and only covering her small body with her arms. Concerned, the ice princess walked up to her. "Hey! What's wrong?" She asked, kneeling down to her level. The paper plate looked up at her, her eyes lighting up. "O-Oh? Y'You're Ivo-I-Ivory Hailstorm!" She spoke. Ivory nodded. "Yes, I am. I came here to collect a diamond but then I heard you. What's the matter?" She asked. The small plate cleared her throat. "Uh- my name's M-Marlee, and I l-lost my- my mo- mom in a storm a littl-ttle while a-ago!! I don't kno-know where she is, and it's freezing!" She explained, confusing Ivory. Who asked, "Oh, geez. But- is that not normal to you? Aren't you guys meant to be used to weather like this?" Lumi flew to Marlee and realized what was wrong.
"Hold on, I know the issue. She hasn't developed her resistance to these cold conditions yet. They typically gain them at 4 years old, but regardless, it's really dangerous for a young object to be on their own like this!!" She explained, immediately concerning Ivory. "Oh! Well.. don't worry! Me and Lumi can help you find your momma! And I think I know how to keep you safe from this weather.. Lumi! I need you to untie my cape!" She asked. Lumi nodded, flying over to Ivory and untying her indigo cape with her legs. Ivory quickly wrapped Marlee in it, and had Lumi help her walk. "Now, where did you last see her?" Marlee exhaled and pointed to the left. "Over there. I think where those blue l-lights are." Ivory nodded and began walking, Lumi guiding Marlee along the path.
Luckily for Ivory, she had special magical shoes that allowed her to walk through snow and ice without slipping or stumbling. They continued to follow the path with blue lights. Only to be stopped at a crossroad..with completely white lights. "Oh! Great. Now which way are we supposed to go?" Ivory asked. Lumi went over to the front. "Take a turn right two times. Then we'll arrive in the open snow field." She explained. Ivory nodded and continued to walk. After what felt like forever, she finally saw the blue lights again, as well as the snow field.
"Is this the field?" Ivory asked, with Lumi nodding. "Now, time for step two: finding this girl's mom..." she confirmed. "Yep. Marlee, what does your momma look like?" The ice princess asked. "She's a tall plastic spoon. My dad's a fork, but he didn't come with us!" She explained. Ivory kept that in mind and began searching through the icy conditions. She turned to her right and saw what appeared to be her mom, standing next to what seemed to be the indigo diamond behind an ice mound, and desperately trying to figure out where their daughter had gone.. "Wait! Is that her?" Ivory asked, Marlee immediately nodded and started running towards her.
"We were trying to walk through the storm and it's like she just- vanished!! I think she stayed behind in the middle of the woods!" Her mom frantically told another inhabitant. She then felt someone tap her leg. She turned around and, best believe, it was Marlee. "Oh! OH THANK CRYSTAL... I thought I lost you!!!" She said in to relief, picking Marlee up and holding her, causing Ivory's cape to fall off too. "It wasn't my fault! It was the storm!" She defended. Her mom was just glad she had returned, then, Ivory and Lumi walked up to them.
"Yeah... me and my companion found her while on a mission to collect that diamond behind you two so.. we took time out of our day to help her out." The ice princess explained, Lumi picked up her cape and tied it around her waist again. "Ah, well, thank you so much for helping my daughter.. and just in time for the show too!" Said her mom. Ivory looked up at the sky and found out she was right. The aurora lights were showing. In shades of pink, green, and blue. Ivory and Lumi stared in awe. "Wow... it's beautiful!" Said Ivory. Marlee's mom nodded. "Truly is. You're welcome to stay and watch for a while if it's not an issue!" She offered. Lumi definitely wanted to, it's been a while since she's seen a sight like this. So, ivory made up her mind. "Sure, we can stay!"
~~
The Electro Realm
Lightning (As Lex E. Thunderbolt) and Eclipse appeared in the.. rather confusing Electro Realm. Made by Octavia, the Weather Goddess. Despite its cool sounding name... to Lex, it seemed to be really anything but that. As this realm was literally just a large green field with tall trees, bushes and shrubs. Accompanied with cloudy skies that change colors depending on the weather, tall, olive colored grass filled with dandelions and daises that sway with the wind, and a bunch of small isolated houses around the area they landed in. Lex looked at Eclipse, confused.
"...This is your main home?" He asked, the crystal ball nodded. "Yeah. What's wrong with it?" They asked, the moth shrugged. "Nothing! It's just more... dim than I imagined. Where's the 'Electro' here? Kinda fits Cassidy's vibe more." He questioned. "Trust me, bud, it looks lame, but get one type of storm, and you'll change your mind. But either way, who cares about it. Where's the diamond?" Eclipse explained and asked. Lex looked around. "It's at the top of a tree, that way behind us, apparently. He confirmed. Eclipse nodded, turning around and, due to their powers, noticing a very faint green light in the distance. They looked up but noticed something else. The normally light grey clouds seemed to be getting darker, implying a thunderstorm.
"Oh, well then we should probably hurry with finding it. I can see a storm approaching us!" They pointed out, Lex looked up and saw a flash go off in the sky. As well as.. the clouds breaking apart and illuminating a bit of sunlight right after. He sighed. "Ohh... Alright then. Now, it's a good thing we're immune to electrical hazards, but be sure to stay at a low level either way!" He explained. Eclipse nodded and flew up to Lex's level, where they both proceeded to free-fly across the grassy field and towards the tall trees. Lex started feeling a few raindrops hit his moth antennas. It went from a few drops, to plenty. The rain poured down fast. "Oh man! How bad do your thunderstorms get around here?" He asked his companion. "They go on for hours, bud. The heavy rain leaves behind plenty of puddles!" They explained. Lex got the memo and began to ignore the feeling of the rain running down him.
As they continued to fly, and made it closer to the trees, the sky continued to darken. And now it was getting harder to see. Lex quickly remembered the first thing he saw when the league first met the companions: Eclipse's glowy trick. He reached over to their arm and caused them to shine bright teal. "If only Bethany was here.." Eclipse uttered, only to be jump-scared by the roaring sound of thunder from above. They looked up, and saw a few white sun rays glowing through the dark storm clouds, and shining down on the grass, making it give off an ethereal sense. They stopped flying to show Lex.
"Look at the sky!" They asked. The moth did so and was amazed at the sight. They looked down at the grass and saw the small flowers also reacting to the sun rays. They began glowing various colors. Now he changed his mind on this realm. "Oh yeah no, never mind, take back everything I said! Your realm is sick!" He complimented, receiving a nod from Eclipse. They then got back on task and continued flying through the field. Eventually reaching the tree filled area. Eclipse could see that green light even closer and flew higher than Lex to track it. Lex quickly followed behind, not wanting to lose sight of them and potentially getting them hurt. "ECLIPSE! Be careful!!" He warned. However, Eclipse ignored him, as they knew what they were doing. They turned left, then right, right again, left again. Until they were certain that they had reached the diamond. They made one more right and turned their head, where their eyes lit up. There sat the diamond, perched atop a narrow tree's branch, and having raindrops roll down it.
"LEX! IT'S OVER HERE!!" The crystal ball yelled. Lex finally caught up, panting. "...I thought I told you about the dangers of flying off like that." He said, only receiving a shrug from Eclipse. "Well, it's still good that you found it. Now, let's-"
*ZAPPPP!*
They suddenly heard a huge lightning rod strike down the tree, where Lex quickly pulled Eclipse towards him as it collapsed. The branch that the green diamond sat on then snapped and broke, sending it plummeting down towards the dirt. Lex and Eclipse gasped. "OH SHOOT!" Lex exclaimed, the duo immediately flew down to save the diamond before it could possibly shatter upon impact. They flew fast, and thankfully, managed to grab onto the diamond right before it hit the ground. The two sighed in relief. "Ohhh... thank Octavia we caught it!" Eclipse spoke. "Uh huh. Now, we should get going before the storm here gets even worse! We'll carry the diamond back onto the field." Lex explained. The crystal ball nodded and flew out of the area, going the same directions they took to get out of here.
~~
The Spiritual Realm
Candle (As Clara Flamina) and Lilith made it to the Spiritual Realm. Created by Damaris, The Sorcery Deity. This realm is home to the most trained witches and spell warriors in the land. Dark purple-magenta skies, a bright white moon, exotic creatures roaming around, mushrooms surrounding the ground, and also, the oddly specific, but faint smell of orchids. Luckily for Clara, she and Lilith already visit this realm quite frequently, so they wouldn't have any issues trying to find the magenta diamond.
"Damaris told me that we need to travel into the crystal cove that we typically venture to. Shouldn't be too difficult for us." Said Clara. Lilith nodded, eager to be surrounded by the various pretty crystals again. She never gets bored of walking through it. Well, they began walking to the cove. And they reached it in the matter of 5 minutes. This cove was a lovely sight, with small shimmering water puddles, white roses planted in the ground, and of course, the rainbow of crystals and diamonds that hung from the walls, floors, and even the ceiling. Clara usually harvests some small crystals in here for spells or potions necessary for battle. But sadly for them, that's not what they're here for. Well, after a matter of venturing through the cove, Clara spotted a faint magenta light to the left. She and Lilith made a fun towards it.
And there, they found the diamond... stuck in the middle of some giant, iridescent crystal clear like rock structure. Both their faces fell.
"Oh. Oh dear." Clara blankly stated. Lilith walked up to the trapped diamond, banging on the crystal material repeatedly, only to no success. It was as strong as lead. "Well now what are we supposed to do?" She asked. Clara examined the type of crystal that had the diamond encased. "Hold on.. I think I know what to do. This is a special type of crystal that can only be broken apart with a certain trick." She explained, then adding, "It's even mentioned in the spell book Damaris gifted me when I was first recruited. I just never got to use it." Lilith was now intrigued. "Well how does it go?" Clara did her best to remember how the trick went, she first pulled out the magenta colored staff she uses for battle, and ordered Lilith to step back. The witch held her staff close to her body, and began to charge up her powers. Her eyes now beginning to glow a lighter magenta as she remembered the special words necessary for the trick.
"GAMMA CHARGEEE!"
She then pointed her staff towards the crystal rock, and fired a glowing beam of intense energy at it, breaking the structure apart almost immediately. She and Lilith were thrown back from the force, but managed to sit back up right after. They saw the Magenta Diamond now freed and unharmed, surrounded by multiple broken shards and chunks of the structure. Clara brushed herself off and approached the diamond, proud of herself. "That wasn't too difficult. And even better, now we have all of these shards we can take home too." She stated with a smile. Lilith's eyes lit up, she ran towards the diamond and began to collect the shards, placing them into her mini satchel, with Clara doing the same thing. They could get the diamond right after they grab every last remain.
~~
The Specter Realm
Bubble (Bethany Effervescent), Gaty (Gabriella Gold-Hinge), and Saw (Seraphina Blacksmith) all arrived in the Specter Realm with their companions. Now, this realm is more different than the rest we've seen. Primarily created by Vishali, The Quietus Goddess, and co-created by Rocio and Chanel, The Light Deity and Innovation Goddess, this is home to the souls and ghosts of inhabitants, companions, and even previous magical object generations from all over that have passed on. Even with the typical dark and gloomy conditions these souls remain in, the ground glimmers, skies are twinkling 24/7, with bright, colorful rainbows shining from here and there, and bringing an everlasting sense of peace to those who have departed. These ghosts also engage in activities such as balls, gatherings, and celebrations of life. Nobody remains alone in here.
But fair to say, entering this realm really did scare the magical group. As they were basically in what could pretty much be considered the 'magical afterlife'. Gabriella turned to face Blythe. "You mean to tell me that you guys originated from here?" Blythe laughed. "Oh no! No! No, no, no, no, no....Please. I was born in the Soulful Music Realm. Quinn's from the Aerial Realm, and Ninnie's from the Serene Realm." She elaborated. "Oh. Well that's less distoirbing to think about. Guess it explains why you're all drastically doifferent from what we are." Bethany replied. "Uh huh. Nothing's ever born in places like this. Now, does anyone know where the diamonds are?" Sera asked. Bethany hadn't received a note, but Gabby did. "Oh, yeah. Chanel told me that our diamonds are in a... uh, haunted mansion? Along this rainbow path in front of us." She confirmed, confusing the others.
"A haunted mansion?" Asked Sera.
"Of any places?" Ninnie added.
"Apparently so. But, eh, what's the worst that could happen? Let's get going." Gabby added. From there, the group began to follow the grey eyed gate across the path in order to reach the mansion. After a bit of waltzing around, they eventually reached it in the middle of a strange looking cemetery.
"Wow. They have good architecture here." Gabby complimented, having noticed its dull beige color with large open windows, rounded balconies, and white flowers outside, with Blythe agreeing alongside her. "Now, who's gonna step inside first?" Quinn questioned. Sera raised her hand. "I got it, I can protect us from ghosts as a reaper anyway." She walked up the four wooden stairs and stepped onto the porch, her friends right behind her. Ninnie on the other hand, stayed behind, as she noticed something strange, regarding those 9 gravestones that surrounded the mansion. They all had.. 'Magical Object Sounding' names engraved on them, and every one of them had the same exact death dates. January 16th, 2021. She knelt down to examine the one upfront that read: Kiki Illuquim: The Magical Fighter of Trickery & Distraction. But before she could lay a finger on it, she heard Bethany call her name. "NIN, GOIT BACK HERE!" She jolted back up and followed the others into the mansion.
The group all stepped foot inside the main lobby. And surprisingly for a haunted location, it was actually nicely kept. The floor was well polished and reflective, the furniture looked taken care of, and there was even a pretty chandelier hanging from above. It ended up getting a laugh out of Blythe, who couldn't believe that this was a truly 'haunted location.' "Ha! What kind of haunted mansion is this?!" She mocked, only to be shushed by Seraphina, who could feel the ghost essence around them. "Geez! Keep your voice down Blythe, never mock a ghosts home like that!" She ordered, receiving a scoff in return. "Please! I've never seen a haunted mansion have such rich interior like this. It's something straight out of Chanel's world!" She claimed again. But then, they all heard a bizarre, echoey voice from above.
"That's cause it is from Chanel." The group (Minus Sera) then froze. "...Uhh, how'd you know that, Gabby? We've never even been here before!" Blythe said awkwardly, only to get a confused look out of Gabby. "That wasn't me.." They were then met with the ghost of a black and white joker playing card, that also had a slit in their throat.
"Yeah, kid. Twas from me." They confirmed. The FLOMO members all yelled in a panic. "OH MY ROCIO THOI'YRE REAL!" Screamed Bethany. The ghost then backed up. "Oh, my bad. That happens a lot. What're you objects doing in our mansion?" They asked. Sera stepped up. "My bad, fellow ghost. I'm Seraphina. That's Gabby, Bethany, and our companions, Ninnie, Blythe, and Quinn! We here were called here to collect a few giant diamonds for our homeland. Have you seen them?" She explained. The ghost knew what she meant. "Oh yeah! They just spawned up in our break room. Follow me down the hall and up those stairs! The name's Kiki Illuquim, by the way." They confirmed. Sera nodded and began to follow this ghost. Her friends following along, while Ninnie realized something else. "This ghost has the equal name on grave..."
~~
Kiki lead the magical objects up to the supposed break room, where they saw several other... oddly injured ghosts just like them. They had specific injuries over their bodies, features missing, and even more strangely enough, were dressed in what appeared to vintage, colorful, yet worn magical attire from the late 2010's.
"Oi Venena! Get those diamonds outta here now, I found out what they're for." They called out. Venena appeared to be a wilted Easter lily dressed in dull green. She was also missing her right eye. She got up from her seat and quickly got the diamonds out the corner. "Oh good. Maxie was about to take them for a spell." She pushed the diamonds towards the three members, whose eyes lit up. "Oh, thanks! This was easier than I thought. Now let's get going home!" Sera spoke, the others were about to turn around and leave, but were stopped by Venena. "Hold on.. why do you guys even need these diamonds? And why are they in our house of all places? Who even are you?" Gabby put the grey diamond down and explained. "The name's Gabriella. That's Bethany, Seraphina and our companions. We're from the Future League of Magical Objects and got called here to collect these diamonds for our homes, Goiky and Inanimate Island." She explained, but it only seemed to confuse these ghosts more.
"..You're magical objects? Like actually?" Asked Maxie, the witch themed teacup that had a stab wound in her stomach. Gabby nodded, and added, "Yeah. We were recruited around 2 months ago? There's actually 14 of us." Zephyr knocked another question in. "Huh? 14?? I thought the max amount was 9 members?" Bethany shook her head. "Not foir us. We go from doimond colors red..." She proceeded to list off every color coded member in their league. "...and gold." Gabby then followed it up with more information.
"And it's not even just that either. All of our unchosen friends that live with us are spirits that protect our homes from the evil that watches us." She added. Those ghosts were shocked. "What? How though?! Spirits are unworthy!!" Diane claimed. Sera quickly corrected her. "Real term is: Was. They became worthy after what happened when a new friend of ours found out about our gig and got a diamond. It's a whole story." The ghosts now had no idea what to say. "Oh. Well... this is kind of awkward now." Said Angus awkwardly. The FLOMO members didn't understand. "Whoiy? Wait- how do you know that spoirits used to be unwoirthy?" Bethany chimed in. The ghosts all looked at each other, and were approached by Priscilla, the piece of coral with a giant scar along her neck.
...
"This is going to sound so unbelievable, but...
We were all part of the previous league of magical objects. Likely the one before any of you."
Bethany, Gabby, Blythe, and Quinn all gasped in disbelief at their words. Ninnie had the look of 'I KNEW IT.' On her tiny face, given the gravestone she saw earlier. But Sera didn't quite catch it yet. "Oh really? You were? That's pretty-" The realization immediately hit as Sera's eyes went wide. "WHAAAAAAATT......?????" She exclaimed, her head slowly shifting back to that ghost, who nodded, now being followed by Zephyr, the winged battery with a missing arm. "Yep. We were known as League 72. And we were considered the best in forever! Well, until the incident back in 2021." She vaguely said, now intriguing Bethany and Gabby. "What incident?" Gabby asked.
"You wanna know?" Asked Cyrus, the shield with bruises over his body. Bethany nodded.
"You really wanna know?" Followed Angus, the skateboard with charred skin. Getting another nod from Blythe.
"Do you really-" Maxie was then cut off by Quinn.
"YOU BETTER TELL US WHAT HAPPENED OR I'LL POP MY CONFETTI CANON IN YOUR FACE!" Quinn threatened. The past league members nodded. "Pull up some seats for our new generation friends then, Diane." Lela asked. Diane, a snowflake with a scar on her head, did just that, using her frost ability to create 6 chairs for the FLOMO members. From there, the story began, fully explained by Kiki.
"It was a cold, dark afternoon on the 16th o' January, 2021. And we were stuck in battle in the Megalomanic Realm with one of old 'Vala's' assistants, who I like to call the Masked Demons. Now, this assistant was kind of strange. I dunno if it was just one guy, or if they kidnapped two orbs from their land, stitched em' together, painted some markings and stuck a mask on em, but either way, it's been our arch enemy ever since 2016. And it only continued gettin' more dangerous with each battle. But what happened in this battle in particular is something none of us expected. Lela can explain since she was the last one of us." The explanation was then passed onto the burned Cupid harp.
"We had almost finished taking the Masked Demons down, but then.. they sort of, split? Into two beings, and began to ambush us all at once. Their attacks were like no other! First thing that told us that was when the sharp toothed dark orb stabbed Maxie in the abdomen with his dagger, shattered her diamond with one stomp too. And then, every one of us fell after. Angus.. blown up. Kiki.. throat slit. Venena.. eye lost. Zephyr.. arm gone. Prissy.. head chopped off. Cyrus.. sword broken. and Diane.. stabbed in front of me. I was last. I was burned alive by the white one's abilities. Don't know what happened after, but, this is our home now. And hey! They seem to have you guys, so I guess it ended with no actual harm to Iris' powers." The story was now over, and the FLOMO Members' jaws were on the floor. They couldn't believe it. "Oh... my Chanel?! That's horrific! How could an assistant wipe you all out so easily like that?!?" Gabby asked, getting a shrug out of Maxie.
"We don't know honestly, none of us were expecting this outcome. Especially from them of all entities. We'd never thought they'd be that capable of annihilating us so easily." She stated. While her friends looked at the ghosts with pity, Sera now had a look of uncertainty on her face. She then saw Angus approaching the ghastly witch.
"Well, to be fair, Vala also had another powerful assistant with the masked demons. But too bad she didn't last long. Died sometime in July 2019 in the middle of battle. Really gave it her all despite not being so skilled, I'll say." Venena mocked. Sera froze and her eyes went wide, but she attempted to stay normal. "Oh, that's unfortunate for her! But at least it's one entity gone.." she claimed. Kiki stopped and noticed something off about her.
The sudden creaky-ness in her voice. They also caught it over in the entrance, but didn't suspect it much at first.
They turned around and approached her to make sure they weren't insane. But they couldn't even get a good look at her face. It was covered by her dark veil. Sera looked at them uncomfortably. And out of nowhere, Kiki ripped the veil off of Sera's head, throwing her off guard and scaring her friends. "Hey! What are you doing?! Give that back!!" She asked, Kiki now took the time to examine what Sera fully looked like, and gasped at the sight of her scarred face. Their face converting into one of rage, confusing Bethany and Gabby. "Uh... why'd your face setting switch to being mad?" Sera asked awkwardly. Kiki threw her veil to the ground, as the other past magical objects surrounded them, equally confused.
"WHAT THE HELL? How are you still alive?!" They demanded to know. "W-What are you talking about?? I don't know what you're doing!" Sera claimed. "Weren't you blown up in that explosion by Zephyr?! We saw the blood and your destroyed weapon!" Cyrus exclaimed. Sera hastily shook her head. Lela stepped back and to the side, making assumptions.
"Wait.. if Gabby said that they have 14 members in their league, and that they live in the merged lands of 'Goiky' and 'Inanimate Island', then could that-?" The ghostly league all collectively gasped. Sera attempted to approach, but was knocked over by Cyrus with a swift punch, and leaving a mark. "STAY BACK! HOW DID YOU BECOME PART OF THESE GIRLS' LEAGUE, YOU DEMON?!" Sera sat up in fear, seeing these past magical objects get the upper hand.
"What?! I'm not a demon! I'm just the reaper who purifies entities' souls!" She replied. Bethany helped her get up, while Gabby ran up to defend her. "Yeah! Maybe you're just confusing her for someone else? Sera isn't any entity!" She claimed. "She can play dumb all she wants! We don't forget faces, ESPECIALLY Kiki!" Diane claimed. Sera dusted her dress off.
"You're insane. I may be from Goiky, but I don't know anything about some dead entity!"
"THEN WHAT?! ARE THE MASKED DEMONS FROM INANIMATE ISLAND ALSO IN YOUR LEAGUE TOO?!?" Maxie yelled out of nowhere. "What on HELL are the goddesses doing, dude?! Are they loony?!" Zephyr asked. Now the other FLOMO members were extremely confused. "Huh??" Blythe uttered.
"Yeah no, we've heard enough! WEAPONS OUT, LEAGUE!" Maxie yelled. The FLOMO members yelled. And Sera was agitated enough. She got up and kicked Cyrus in the face, turning around to face her friends. "LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!", the rest of the group immediately dashed out that room, grabbing their diamonds in the process, but they continued to follow them through the mansion.
"YOU CAN'T RUN FROM THE TRUTH!" Shouted Lela. They made it out of the mansion and Bethany slammed the door. "Sera, WHAT are these guys TALKING ABOUT? What did they mean by that??" Gabby demanded to know, leading to Sera acting oblivious. The group stopped running momentarily, dropping their diamonds. "I don't know!! I swear on my heart that I don't!!!" Gabby stopped to add up what they mentioned.
"The truth.. the 'masked demons'... July 2019...You? Are they talking about Yin-Yang and YOU leaving?!" She added up. Sera looked to the side, unsure of what to say. " DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THEIR DEATHS?!" She yelled, causing the reaper to snap.
"NOT EVERYTHING REL-EIGHT-ING TO DEMONS HAS TO DO WITH YOU AND YOUR TRAUMA OF ONE, GABRIELLA!!"
That phrase caused Gabby to go silent. Sera immediately took back what she said, but before trying to apologize, Ninnie tapped her shoulder.
"Can two you halt and look at back?!" She yelled, causing the two to jerk their heads back. The ghosts of those dead magical objects were right behind them outside.. and now with their own weapons.
"Oh my Rocio..." Bethany uttered.
"What do we do?!" Quinn yelled.
Seraphina cleared her throat, and lifted her scythe. "We send them back to their home! They didn't have to drag this conversation that far!" She ordered. The others nodded, getting their weapons out, and lunging at these ghosts, almost immediately taking out Cyrus first with one swing of her soul banishing scythe.
Thankfully, the three FLOMO members had way more advances than that ghostly last league. They have different abilities, weapons, and more importantly, companions. Venena attempted to launch a poison dart at Bethany, who dodged it and used her abilities to summon a 'bubble bomb' to fire towards Venena. It seemed harmless, but once it flew to her face, it exploded into a white bang and knocked her to the ground, forcing her back into the mansion. Angus knocked Sera into a tree, about to slash her with his sword, but he was quickly held back by Quinn, who took their confetti cannon and fired it at him, temporarily blinding him and sending him inside as well. The fight continued.
Gabby got back up, and swung her sword at Zephyr. Luckily, she had powered it up using her diamond, so its force was strong enough to split Zephyr in two, and placing him home as well. Priscilla tried to rip Sera's scythe out of her hands, shouting "DON'T THINK YOU'LL ESCAPE!" But Sera didn't resist, snatching her scythe back and kicking her in the kneecap with her platform heel. Sera swore something broke, as she heard Priscilla scream and teleport herself back. Bethany rushed to the fence, now being chased by Diane. She activated her light powers and made herself glow bright white. Similar to Venena, Diane backed away, where Sera chimed in and slashed her with the scythe too, defeating her. "DIANE!" Lela screamed, being ambushed by Blythe, who used Gabby's diamond to create a gold hammer, and whacking her in the head with it. Maxie got into a brawl with Ninnie. Using her soapy clean abilities, she threw a handful of 'whimsical bleach' at her face, burning her eyes and causing her to flee. Now, they just had to deal with Kiki, who had looked around and saw the FLOMO members undefeated. "Wow... you guys are wayy more powerful than we are.." They stated, Gabby nodded. "Uh huh. We really are. Now, do us a favor, please? GO BACK TO YOUR MANSION AND LEAVE US ALONE!" She demanded. Kiki looked to the side, and dusted themselves off.
"Fine. We were mainly aiming for your friend Sera over there. But sooner or later, you'll see! YOU'LL ALL SEE!" With that, Kiki teleported themselves back into the mansion. The commotion was over. The FLOMO members looked at each other, and picked up their diamonds again. With no time to waste, they all made a dash back to the spawn location. They needed to get out of here, and NOW. "DON'T EVEN LOOK BACK!" Shouted Sera.
~~
Back in the hideout...
"OUCH!" Ember exclaimed. He and Yang have been having a little laser tag game for the past hour.. with real lasers. In the chaos, Yang saw his diamond flashing. Clara was calling him. "Cease fire!" He yelled, Ember got up from his hiding spot. The red eyed demon answered her call.
"Yang! Get the transportation device ready. Everyone's gotten their diamonds and are all ready to head back home together." She ordered. "Uh, yeah, I'll get to it right now." He then hung up the call. "We'll continue this later tonight, you head outside, while I get that pink device." He instructed. Ember nodded and made his way out of the hideout.
After a few minutes, the duo made it out of the hideout. Yang pointed the device to the opposite direction, and opened up the portal. Almost all of the magical objects then emerged from the portal, reverted into their normal clothes and carrying their diamonds, as well as any of the other items they found along the way. Candle dusted herself off. "Welcome back, league. We all got our diamonds?" "Yep!" Answered everyone. Teardrop then started looking around. "Wait.. where's Bubble, Gaty and Saw?" She asked. They looked back at the portal and saw the three leaving it in a panicked state.
They all looked back at their confused league members, panting. "...Is this home? Please tell Ninnie that this home." Ninnie asked. Opal flew up. "Yes, this home. What happened in Specter world?" He asked with poor language, Suitcase chiming in. "Yeah, you look like you've seen some... horrors. What happened in that realm?" The group remained silent. But the unfazed Saw spoke. "For the sake of these guys, you'll be better off not knowing. I think it's just the ghost essence seeping off of us. It'll go away soon. I would know as the reaper." She explained. Everyone still didn't understand, especially given that huge bruise over Saw's eye, but ended up brushing it off.
"Okay.. well, now that we've got all our diamonds, it's time to phone the deities and goddesses to see how to conjure this up. Everyone, diamonds off and up front in the hideout." Candle asked, only to be interrupted by Cabby. "Actually, we won't be needing to do all that anymore. While I was getting the purple diamond, Opal and I went out of our way and got these!" She then opened her lower cabinet and pulled out the 14 new GlowTabz for her league. All with color coded cases and designs. Everyone gasped.
"What the- Cabby? How did you get these?" Icy asked. "In the electronic store that the purple diamond was hiding in. Everything in that realm is surprisingly cheap. But that's besides the point, everyone get your tablets! Opal got already in contact with Zion, who helped create your profiles and install the apps necessary for us. He also advised the others on this, so no worries." Cabby elaborated. Everyone excitedly started grabbing their assigned tablets and found what was meant to be a telephone app. Yang was the first to use it, and Charly, the balance goddess, answered.
"Oh, wow. I didn't think this new 'tablet system' would work. Greetings, FLOMO! Were all the diamonds collected?" He asked. Everyone responded, yes. "Perfect! Now, head to where Agni first dropped off the red diamond, we'll show you how to merge them all together." The league members nodded and placed their diamonds around the red diamond.
"Okay. How do we do this?" Asked Lightning. "First, we need Gabriella to create dividers out of crystals. And a lot of them. They're meant to look something like this" Charly first instructed, showing Gaty a drawing of the supposed divider. "Wait- out of crystals? I can't even create those yet." Gaty claimed. Candle then remembered the crystal shards she and Lilith collected in the cove, quickly solving the problem. "We have these shards from the Spiritual Realm! Will they work?" Asked Lilith. Charly looked over, and nodded. "Yes, actually. That's the exact material I was referring to." The two then went up to Gaty and gave her all of the shards, and from there, she got to work. Using the shards, she ended up making 14 long, square-based-triangle shaped 'dividers'. "Well that's done with. Now what?" Gaty asked, lifting one up. Charly now listed the second step. "You need to get two of those dividers and equally insert them into the red diamond. In order to convert it into a separate segment. Make sure it's not installed beyond the center." Yang stood the red diamond upright, while Gaty and Candle took two dividers and carefully inserted them inside the diamond, breaking the rich material and emitting an unpleasant scratching sound until they hit the center. The objects sighed, wiping away any dust or broken shards. "Perfect! Now, take the orange diamond, and fuse it with the large section of red diamond. It'll pass through and change color without affecting the smaller section quite easily." The goddess instructed.
Suitcase and Lightning took the orange diamond and approached the red one. Making sure to align it perfectly with it. Then, they began to test out the 'fusion'. Lightning looked and saw the rest of the red diamond turning orange. The diamonds passed through each other like water. They passed the rest of the diamond through, without hitting the smaller section. And now, the larger segment had become a full shade of orange, amazing the league. Then, they had to repeat the process... 12 other times. Insert a divider, merge a diamond. So, they continued. And it didn't take long until they were spotted by a few spirits. First being approached by the Glam Squad.
"There you guys are! We were wondering what was taking you so long over in that realm." Test Tube exclaimed. Lumi flew over to her. "It wasn't just the battle, Snowy Spirit. Icy found a giant red diamond in the inferno realm, and we had to go on.. many side quests to get the others. It's a long story, but now we're home and ready to get the create the full master diamond." She explained, being followed by Juno. "Yeah! Me and Book saved some dude's date!" "Suitcase participated in a circus show!" Ibu added. "AND WE GOT CHASED BY INSANE GHOSTS.. EW!" Blythe yelled in disgust. All of their claims equally confusing the squad. "Oh. Well that's interesting. Now I kinda wanna stay and watch them do this." Lightbulb replied, walking to the league. Then, they were followed by a few more local spirits from both lands. That being Leafy, Pin, Bot, Goo, Soap, Bottle, Firey, Coiny, Pencil (from Goiky), The Cherries, and Tissues.
Several minutes later, all of the diamonds were merged together, being turned into a multi-colored diamond with crystal dividers. After the gold diamond was merged, Charly prepared herself to explain the second to last step. "Alright, almost done I see? Now, the companions need to take this diamond and lift it up into the air, and keep it up there for the final step." The companions nodded. They all took the diamond and, using their equal ability to fly, lifted it up into the air. Not too far for the FLOMO members to reach.
"NOW WHAT?!" Quinn yelled from above. Charly now added the final step. "You, the FLOMO members, need to use your abilities to power up this diamond. All at the same time. It has to be strong!" The league wasn't exactly sure what she meant. So she had to explain. "You need take your diamonds out of their holders and shout your main ability, and then add the word 'enchantment' at the end of it. Once you garner enough power, take your diamonds and transfer it all into your segment!" Now getting the memo, Yang placed his GlowTab on the ground. "OKAY! I'll go first then. Shouldn't be too hard!"
Yang walked up, popped his diamond out of its wrist gauntlet, and held it close, then pointing it up, and yelling:
"FLAME ENCHANTMENT!"
The league saw him, along with his diamond, glowing red. Now tempted, Suitcase followed along, shouting:
"STRENGTH ENCHANTMENT!"
Then followed by Teardrop:
"AQUATIC ENCHANTMENT!"
And Lightning:
"THUNDER ENCHANTMENT!"
Clover:
"FLOWER ENCHANTMENT!"
Yin:
"POISON ENCHANTMENT!"
Ice Cube:
"FREEZE ENCHANTMENT!"
Cabby:
"KNOWLEDGE ENCHANTMENT!"
Candle:
"SPELL ENCHANTMENT!"
Book:
"LOVER'S ENCHANTMENT!"
Bubble:
"GLEAMING ENCHANTMENT!"
Gaty:
"CREATION ENCHANTMENT!"
Saw:
"PURITY ENCHANTMENT!”
And finally, Poppy:
"MUSICAL ENCHANTMENT!"
The spirits who gathered to witness watched in awe. They haven't seen the league do something like this before. "This would make great television..." Bot said to Goo, who nodded in response. The members all charged up their powers, and aimed their diamonds up at the master diamond. All yelling this phrase simultaneously:
"COMBINE ALL OF OUR ABILITIES TOGETHER, AND ACTIVATE THIS DIAMOND!" With that, they all placed their diamonds on their matching segments, causing each segment to glow.
*BANG!*
The FLOMO members and the spirits fell backwards at the sudden blast of energy. The companions were also pushed back, letting go of the diamond and falling to the grass. Book looked up and was the first to see the now completed master diamond. The two joints at the bottom of the diamonds now had long, stilt-like legs standing it up higher, All 14 segments were sparkling bright, there was a special, iridescent rainbow light coming down and shining onto the grass. The crystal dividers also glimmered. "Guys.. look up!" The rest of the league looked up and were all equally amazed at the diamond. Standing upright, realizing that they had actually done it, they had completed the making of the master diamond. The spirits also had no idea what to say. Yang got his GlowTab back, and faced the camera to show Charly the results. She was amazed.
"Wow... incredible! It turned out amazing!" She complimented. "It really did.. now what do we do? Is it just free to use now?" Cabby asked. Charly looked up. "Nottttt quite. We have to test it first!" The league members looked in confusion.
"What?" Asked Icy.
~~
"..What is that?" Soap asked Candle, who had returned with an odd looking item in her palm, spinning it around. "This right here is a glitter grenade. Made by Gaty and only for battle. You remove the pin and throw this at someone? They go up in sparkles." She explained. The spirits looked in interest. "And what exactly are we gonna use it for?" Leafy added. Charly smiled.
"Someone's going to be our guinea pig and test the diamond's reincarnation abilities." She confirmed. Everyone gasped. "PARDON ME." Pin exclaimed. The goddess nodded. "Yeah! You can decide who will volunteer." Almost immediately, the league, companions, and most of the spirits backed away. All of them, except for Test Tube. Who actually stepped closer. Her partners went against this. "No Tube you can't! What if it doesn't work?!" Lightbulb asked. The scientist shrugged. "I mean, if nobody here wants to do it, then what do I have to lose?" The bright girl looked in confusion. "Well- EVERYTHING! US, HIM, YOUR KID.. OUR NEW FRIENDS!" Unfortunately her words did nothing. She wanted to do this. She ordered Candle to do this and fire the grenade. Standing far from everyone else. Candle was hesitant for a moment, though.
"You do realize... if we failed to set the diamond up properly.." she warned. Test Tube looked at her, and her partners, and Bot, sighing.
"Set it off!"
The witch pulled the pin, and fired the glitter grenade, exploding upon impact and shattering the spirit into a wave of rainbow sparkles. Her familiar glass remains scattered everywhere, and the light violet diamond fell out of its bracelet, remaining unscathed. Now interestingly glowing, implying that her soul had been trapped within it. Fan ran and got it off the ground, and walked back to the crowd. Looking at their clearly nervous partners, the league, and back up at the master diamond.
"Just lay your partner's diamond underneath that light, it'll be ok." Charly reminded through the GlowTab. The sugar glider hybrid nodded and headed to the bottom of the diamond, looking up at the iridescent rainbow light. He set the diamond down and could now only wait for the moment of truth. The other magical objects, companions, and her friends stared in anticipation.
Suddenly, a noise.
The diamond was sucked into its light. causing all 14 fragments to glow its exact color for a moment. Everyone gasped. Could it be?
The light suddenly became bright as white, and began to emit strange frosty noises. Once the light reverted to its normal iridescent brightness, and each fragment returned to its usual colors, it revealed the now respawned Test Tube. Back in her typical light blue dress and with her diamond returned in its bracelet shaped holder. She looked at her surroundings and at her arm. The Master Diamond had done its job.
"Guys?" Everyone locked eyes with her, they couldn't believe it. Then...
"WE DID IT!!!" Book exclaimed, breaking the spell of silence that the others had. They cheered, yelled, and exclaimed in joy. Fan ran up to Test Tube and hugged her, while the others appeared at the same time, glad to not have her dead forever. "This is amazing!! I didn't think you would make it!" Paintbrush expressed. "I honestly didn't either.. all I saw in that diamond was you guys looking all worried. It was so cramped!" The scientist replied, and adding, "Now, I think it would be a good time to advise the other spirits about this huge advancement. They're gonna flip!" The other spirits around agreed, and ran to their separate sides of the island. leaving the league by themselves again. "Oh, what a relief. I was worried that I would end up being called over if it didn't work."
"Yes! Wha- wait. What do you mean called over?" Yin suddenly asked. Charly then realized what she had just spoiled. "Oh. Uhh...." The whole league walked to face the screen.
"..I... don't know why Iris didn't tell you all this already. But... I may have had the ability to revive you all for the longest time... more specifically after you became a league. I just never found a time to use it since you never asked Haha." The league members gasped. "...What. You could bring us back to life this ENTIRE TIME?" Lightning yelled. "FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS??" Gaty replied.
"AND YOU NEVER DECIDED TO TELL US..." Added Poppy. "SO THIS WHOLE ENTIRE THING WAS JUST A GIANT WASTE OF TIME..." Yang yelled. The others didn't know what to say. Charly laughed awkwardly. "Not- not necessarily! You got to explore new realms and... meet all these new people, right? RIGHT?!" The league didn't say anything. Especially those who had to endure all of those extra tasks from the inhabitants. Charly looked to her left. "Oh! Would you look at that?! I gotta go, goodbye!" With that, she ended the call, and leaving the league in disbelief. But Book spoke up.
"Eh, She wasn't lying about the realms though. They were fun!"
