Chapter 8 - An Icey Farewell

"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!", Dez exclaimed as he along with the others started to celebrate over the defeat of Taroge. "The monsters finally gone!", Eight said with pure happiness in his voice. "Couldn't have done it without you Eight", London said to Eight. "Yeah, yeah. I can't thank you enough you all and to you, your majesty", Eight said to Penny and the others. Just then, the queen along with all of the other Nova hybrids then began to clap for Penny and the others. "HERO'S, SAVED US ALL! HERO'S, SAVED US ALL!", The crowd shouted and cheered over and over again when the queen came before them. "I must say, i can't thank you enough for helping our town and getting rid of those horrid angels away.", The queen said as this time, she bowed before Penny with Penny looking a bit surprised at what the queen was doing as she didn't expect this from her. "Oh, it was all in the day's work", London said with a smile on her face as the crowd kept cheering and cheering for there heroes like there was no tomorrow. "Now how are we suppose to get home now?", Xander whispered to the group. "No idea", Sophia said.

"So where did you say this portal was again?", Eight asked. "If we can find where it was, I'm sure i can do something to bring it back or Eight can make something", The queen added. "First we need to find Cyrus", Penny said as she saw one of the angel's airships that wasn't able to leave in time. "Cyrus! You in there?", Penny shouted just as she found someone trying to find a way to escape. "Cyrus!". Penny said as the figure reached the daylight and it turned out to be him. "Penny!", Cyrus said as he rushed up to Penny and embraced for a hug. "Are you ok Cy?", Penny asked. "I'm fine but we need to get out of here, the angels could be coming back any second!", Cyrus said. "It's fine, we took care of the angels", Penny said as Cyrus calmed down a bit. "Well that's a relief.", Cyrus said. "Now lets get out of here", Penny said as she and Cyrus got out of the destroyed airship and back to the rest of the group. "Guys!", Cyrus and the others said as they all went to each other. "Yeah yeah, I'm alive, i know", Cyrus said as he noticed Sophia. "Sophia", Cyrus said as he went up to her. "I should start with I'm sorry", Sophia said in a low, quiet tone. "I shouldn't have keep who i was from you. It's just that...when we first meet, i couldn't be sure that revealing myself was a good idea since you didn't know about all of this but when you did know, i guess i couldn't work up the guts so, I'm sorry." "I understand and i shouldn't have acted like i did back there so I'm sorry to.", Cyrus said in a similar tone. "Can you all just kiss already?!", Dez said in a annoyed voice. Just then, right when the two were about to lean in for a kiss, the previously gentle breeze had started to pick up speed rather fast. "What's that sound?", London asked in a nervous voice. "Could it be a windstorm?", Dez said. "We don't get those here", Eight said. "Wait, look up", Xander said as he noticed what looked to be some sort of airship in the sky but this airship didn't look like the ones the angels were using but it was heading straight for the island. "Could it be from the mainland?", Penny said as the airship then stopped near the island and out came Austin along with Boulder and Liz. "Guys", Most of the group said as they rushed over to them. "So this is where that portal took you to", Austin said. "Sure is", Dez said. "I see they gave you a new attire", Liz noticed. "Yeah, that's what the snow here does', Eight said. "And who you might be?", Boulder asked Eight and the queen. "The names Eight and this is Queen Frost", Eight said. "Very nice to meet you two", Boulder said. "Say your from that wizard school right?", Queen Frost asked. "Yes indeed", Boulder said. "We just don't get a lot of wizards in these parts", Frost said. "Well you have quite a bit of here now", Boulder said just as the airship's horn made a blowing noise. "I'm afraid we must be going now. The ship needs a bit of fuel soon", Boulder said as the queen waved her goodbyes. Eight on the other hand started to feel a bit sad as he looked at the airship and then the Frost. "I think i know what you're thinking of", Frost said. "Yeah", Eight said in a sad voice. Frost then let out a soft sigh and looked at Eight. "Just promise me you won't forget us", Frost said. "I promise", Eight said as he then ran to the airship. "I want to come with you guys", Eight said as everyone froze for a sec. "What was that?", Cyrus said. "I love Shiver Town and it's the place i grew up in but I've always wanted to see what's beyond the sea and see the world so, I want to come with you guys", Eight said with clear nervousness in his voice. "Hm", Austin said with an annoyed look that turned into a happy look. "Of course you can come along with us", Penny said as the seven of then hugged Eight just as the Frost went onboard. "Here. I want you to have this girls", Frost said as she handed Penny. London and Sophia a blue and cyan necklace with a dark blue crystal in them. "In case you ever want to return to Shiver Town, these necklaces will guide you three to us whenever you choose", Frost said. "Thank you you're majesty, I promise we will return when the angels come back for revenge", Penny joked as Frost cracked a smile. "It's time to head out now", Boulder said as Frost waved her goodbyes and the rest of them were setting sail to home.
