Ravenzella's Revenge

What? No welcome for an old friend?

No. You can't be alive.

You really thought you were something, huh?

Defeating the Queen of Grimoria.

Sadly for you, I'm still here.

Stop her!

-No! -

You naive fools, using the grimstone as ridiculous jewelry.

You have no clue how truly powerful it is.

You're as witless and overconfident as your father was.

-Sophia, don't listen to her. -

- -

Stay out of this, Ava.

Yeah, stay out of it.

Um…

Uh…

-Hey! Back off, troll breath. -Rude! I'm not a troll. I'm an ogre.

- Don't care. - Agh!

I don't know how you came back, but you're not staying.

What's the matter? Can't use your own magic to beat me?

Be careful what you wish for.

What's wrong? You don't like our magic trick?

Look out!

- -

Oh, hey, River. Water you doing here?

Get it?

-Don't make us regret saving you. -Come on.

I've been sitting on that for so long, waiting for the perfect moment.

Guys, Sophia needs us.

She's not at full strength. Now's our chance to stop her!

The gem!

Here you go, Your Bossiness.

We have what we came for.

The rest of this is just a waste of time.

Get back here and fight, you coward!

See you soon.

- No! -

So I guess Ravenzella's back.

Ms. Primrose!

-Auntie! -Mr. Tansy!

Where are the teachers when you actually need 'em?

Yeah, this is weird.

Unless…

Are they surprising me with my own hero statue?

Ah, please. They would've needed your measurements months ago.

-I gave mine at registration. - Forget the teachers.

We're wasting time. The longer Ravenzella has to gather grim magic,

the harder she'll be to beat. We need to go now.

-I don't think that-- -Obviously, you don't wanna go.

Ravenzella's weak. This is our chance to strike.

I think we need to tell the teachers first, then form a plan.

-Then maybe squeeze in tactical role-play. -Seriously, Layla?

I'm always serious about tactical role-play.

Ms. P! Ms. Furi! We have terrible news.

I know all about the statue, and it's no longer a surprise.

-Good news is I'll still accept it. -Ugh! Finally. Where have you been?

We've been in our classrooms teaching, like we're supposed to.

Well, I guess we should've started there.

What exactly is going on?

-Ravenzella. She's back. -What?

-She can't be. - She is.

And she's getting stronger every second we waste standing here doing nothing.

-I'll alert the others. -We're right behind you.

Absolutely not. You are to stay inside, out of harm's way.

What? Why is that always the plan? We've faced Ravenzella before.

Yeah. And totally beat her.

-I mean, until she came back. -Let us come. We can help.

No. It is too dangerous. She'll be far more vengeful this time around.

-Who knows what she's capable of? -Time is of the essence, Evelyn.

We will defend this school, but you must stay safe.

And stay inside.

Uh-uh. No way. Absolutely not.

A Furi always gets their way. I will convince Auntie to let us help.

I just have to persist until she sees reason.

So whine at her until she gets fed up and gives in?

- That is not how it works. -Prove it. Let's go.

We can't stand around waiting for permission.

Attacking Ravenzella now is our best shot.

Look, Sophia, I really, really hate to say it, but Ms. Primrose is right.

Ooh! The words hurt coming out.

Based on my observations of Ravenzella, she'll be coming for the academy first.

-It's better if we're here to defend it. -Together.

To the triumphant return of our glorious queen.

Yeah. To her trumpet return.

Do-do-do-doo!

And your color's getting much better. Not all pale and mucky like before.

Uh, uh…

I mean, wow, so powerful.

Obtaining the grimstone is just the beginning.

When I'm through with the unicorn riders…

But first I need time to gather my remaining grim magic.

Without it, I can't reach my full power.

Oh, there's grim magic all over.

How are we gonna collect it all before those rotten riders find us?

-We walk. -What?

We're not gonna, you know…

Pfft.

Ash!

Those brats wasted the magic I had.

But there's much more where that comes from.

-Uh, Rory? -I get hungry when I'm stressed, okay?

And sweaty and sleepy.

Being a teenage boy is weird.

We need a snack break. I could use some brain food.

I'm in. I need a distraction.

I'll go see if Sophia wants anything. She was pretty upset before.

Sophia's not in our room. Why would she be when I'm there, right?

-But she's not down here either. -Huh? You guys looking for Sophia?

She left a few minutes ago.

-Seriously, Rory? -When were you going to tell us?

What? She said she was going to the bathroom.

-Can't a girl have some privacy? -Rory, this is Sophia.

It's never the bathroom!

Okay, but in my defense, it has to be the bathroom sometimes.

-Come on. We don't have much time. -

It's fine. We can handle Ravenzella on our own. Right, girl?

I mean, this is the whole reason we're at Unicorn Academy, to be protectors.

Wildstar, we've gotta hurry.

- - Oh.

I know you wanna protect me too.

But no one will be safe unless we stop Ravenzella for good this time.

No! You can't do this again.

Yeah. We're onto you and your not-bathroom tricks, missy.

I'm not gonna let her destroy everything. I've gotta fix this.

If you don't wanna come with me, fine. But don't stand in my way.

Wildstar?

You can't go alone.

Just come back to the academy. We can protect each other as a team.

Sophia, please. Don't shut us out.

Maybe this doesn't matter as much to you, but if I don't stop Ravenzella,

then it's like my dad sacrificed himself for nothing.

I get it! But risking your life like this will not bring your dad back.

Wow, Ava.

S… Sophia, wait!

Be sure the dwerpins have been alerted.

Backup equipment and supplies must be checked.

-Ugh, come on, Ms. Furi. We can help. -You know we're the best riders here.

Oh, we are, are we?

Don't push it.

You're just… you're being unreasonable!

- -Unreasonable?

This isn't your fight.

Ravenzella is seeking revenge for a war we started long ago.

There will be plenty of battles ahead of you that I know you'll win.

But, for now, go to your dorm.

I need to know you're safe so I can focus on the fight.

Ha. You really showed her.

- -Kidding! I was kidding.

She couldn't have gotten far, right? She didn't seem strong enough to--

Ravenzella. She must be calling to them.

Let's go.

This is so typical. She thinks because we're not throwing ourselves into danger,

it means we don't care, but we do care a lot.

So, how'd the whining plan go?

We've been benched.

We're not benched.

They're just putting us in reserve for a real emergency,
