Very neat find, with a grooving keyboard riff for the chorus

Caught in a witch's spell Got a tale to tell...

[ideal-girl]

Do you think the Mandy after the events of Witch’s Spell would be a “neutral” or malevolent entity as she soars off to other realms? 

Nia: 

Mandy would eventually become a malevolent entity as she travels through various realms. Her actions in “Witch’s Spell” were indeed Machiavellian, but I sensed a little malevolence within Mandy still. I believe that she will become even more apathetic and corrupt overtime, eventually becoming something we call “evil”, even if she doesn’t mean to be that.

“Witch’s Spell Part II” While HIM reigned on high as the dredges of mankind lay waste to another; and his followers were constantly battling the badly weakened WOOHP (never leaving them alone), Mandy and the expert collected the mountains of bodies killed and brought them to their own secret lair, with enchantments to shield it from the eyes of HIM and others, and transformed them into certain types of creatures as part of a secret plan to raise an army that will soon destroy the living (trying to summon certain other dark forces would bring HIM’s attention to them, as he is the king of ghosts, demons and darkness after all).

Soon while HIM himself personally attended to the forces of WOOHP, Mandy took this opportunity to project her phantom shade to Alex, who was trapped in a raft in the ocean, completely alone (when HIM wasn’t visiting). Alex at this point was too engrossed in rage and pain, due to the malnourishment as she has not eaten for a long time and HIM’s tortures. Mandy made a deal, she would have to transform into a being of pure rage and vengeance in order to escape. Alex agreed, and under Mandy’s spell she ended the lives of HIM’s actual allies and followers as Mandy herself decided to make her matter a public one.

Humanity’s rotten apples having made themselves useful, Mandy had her dark army massacre all (guilty and innocent alike) without discrimination, the cities now completely destroyed. HIM was immediately enraged as it was his own plan to have the demons finish off the rest, so he thought his “ally” was stealing his work.

During a final battle between HIM and WOOHP, Mandy finally revealed herself to HIM, bringing her assistant and the transformed Alex with her. Alex and HIM fought each other, both killing each other at the end. Mandy’s assistant tried to sacrifice his boss to change the world, but Mandy having foreseen this, killed him and subsequently released the souls of her army, using the spiritual energy to destroy the planet. WOOHP having been previously beaten by HIM could do nothing as they all met their ends. The ritual complete, Mandy soared off to venture to other realms.

Nia’s Note: 

Wow! What a wonderful ending! 

Alex may have ended up dying in the end, I’m glad that she was able to face-off against HIM. And I’m glad that Mandy was successful in her goals, despite the destruction in brought to this world (and perhaps beyond).

“Witch’s Spell Part 1” From her teachings by an expert in the nature of the supernatural, Mandy from Totally Spies became aware of many things, like the TRUE identities of her high school rivals, the nature of souls, what goes on in people’s minds, etc. The expert was a hardcore nihilist tired of the world he lived in, so he passed the knowledge to Mandy knowing she herself never was really content in this world. Working as Mandy’s “assistant”, he was unaware of Mandy’s greater goals; the expert (going under a profession that will not be described) merely wanted to destroy the world and recreate it as a god; while Mandy wanted to see the other realms beyond Earth (indeed she could literally sense his treachery).

The two had a plan; they secretly followed the Spies out on a mission where they fought against an unusual enemy; a demon by the name of HIM (and there was something about three superpowered preschoolers that the spies unwittingly took out of commission previously). Mandy and the expert secretly aided HIM while making their presence unknown; and in the ensuing fight, HIM won, killed the President, and obliterated the entire military. Mandy cast a spell which broadcasted this (and the massacre of all the other world leaders and military forces) to millions, and then summoned hails of fire to destroy most of the cities (though lands like rainforests remained intact).

Mandy wasn’t so nihilistic that she believed humans were inherently savage (unlike her assistant), but with her sensing of souls, she specifically ensured that a fair amount of the most heartless survived (both ruthless prisoners and ruthless ones wearing badges) and gave them weapons to deliver their own taste of destruction upon whatever lay behind; to leave a sense of hopelessness upon humanity (especially WOOHP, considering Alex was kidnapped at the previous fight). HIM was pleased at all this, but still had his followers try to find his mysterious ally while he personally attended to the torture of Alex. The expert viewed Mandy as a useful tool, but in reality both he and the demon were used by Mandy the entire time.

END

Nia’s Note: 

I know you said that you didn't like apocalyptic stories, but you did a good job writing this. Mandy and Expert worked so well together, despite having fundamentally different goals. I like that you included Him. He definitely belongs in an apocalyptic story. It’s just too bad about what’s going to happen to Alex.
