Portals 5 of 5 - The Shocking and Bloodsoaked Finale!

As time is running out, our faithful heroes have to decide just how they'll successfully destroy the portal between the vampire universe and our regular universe, which of course is their favorite food source.

But now, my friends, it's time for the thrilling conclusion of Portals. So get comfortable, but guard your neck from vampires after these quick words last time on Portals. After our heroes escape from their cells, they get into a heated battle with the vampires. When they start becoming overrun, one of them wrecks the portal device before they escape. Realizing how outnumbered they are, they begin to despair. Felicia Miron refuses to give up and rallies the others to understand their situation and what they must do. From there, our heroes make a plan to stop the vampires from harvesting innocent mortals from other universes for food. When our heroes attack Mayor Gunter and his forces to make their last stand and destroy the reactor, Ariel Mirran is taken by a giant bat. She gets free and goes into a room to find her mother tied up. As Adrian and Ariel get into a heat argument, another vampire appears, surprising Ariel. Now she knows who Mayor Gunter's mystery partner is, who helped him turn this Earth into a post apocalyptic vampire world, and now the thrilling conclusion to portals by Rob Fields perspective. Ariel Miron, I'm looking at Adrian Miron, my mom. Okay, I know she's not my real mom now because of the vampire I'm standing face to face with. I understand everything. The mystery partner who worked with Mayor Gunter to make this Vampire Earth happen is Come on, you had to know there was another you here. Ariel Mirn, my vampire double says she has vampire doubles of my friends Mona, Abels and Bailey downs with her. I point to vampire Ariel and shake my head slowly. Then I point to other mom. You did all this because, Vampire Ariel points at me. Don't you dare say you weren't angry and hurt when you learned your own mother betrayed you. She looks uncertain. Now she did betray you, right, I nod yeah, But it wasn't worth all this. Vampire Ariel laughs and looks at other mom. You always told me to be an alpha. You always said to use the mirror in ways to my advantage. You said I needed to be ruthless. Well, how's this for ruthless? Not only did I conquer Earth, I even conquered the mirons you included. Adrian looks at her. You were the worst mistake I ever made. Vampire Ariel, Mona and Bailey howl with laughter. Then Vampire Ariel replies, but if you didn't have me, you wouldn't have become rich and powerful. Right when you couldn't have burned me with your betrayal, She smiles, showing her sharp fangs. Then I couldn't have kept you here for you to see just how much I've bettered you. Mommy dearest. I look at Adrian now, are you really that cruel and have no feelings? I can't believe how this all happened. It was exactly like last December. Vampire Me and I were both possessed by Queen Arcadia. But the major difference between me and her is mom. My own mom never really made time for me, which was why she never cared about my having sleepovers every Friday night with my girls. I address Adrian again. You rode your daughter constantly, You abused her emotionally. Nothing she ever did was good enough for you? Was it? Your daughter probably tried and tried to please you. She just wanted you to love her and be her mom. Then she learned of your betrayal and knew you never loved her, making her snap and driving her to create this horror. She found Mayor Gunter and partnered with him and result everything that's happened here. How am I doing, Vampire Me, she smiles. You're good other me, she chuckles, Except you're not like me. You're not a vampire. But I can change that. One bite is all it takes. You can rule here with me. I shake my head. Mom's betrayal still hurts, but but I'm not going to this. Vampire Me sighs. That's just too bad. You will be one of us one way or another. Girls. Time for me to be the alpha. Weren't you paying attention, Vampire Me? I changed too. Before Vampire Mona and Bailey can grab me, I knock them down with Chris colored fireballs. Before Vampire Me can attack, I fire my eye beams and strike her down. Then I turn my eyebeams over to Adrian and Freer. I know I'm not your daughter, I tell her, but I won't go back home, knowing I left you here to die. Now get out of here. I give Adrian cover while she runs out I don't know how far she'll get, but at least i'll sleep good when I get back home. I'm still not used to calling Mouse's house home yet. Suddenly those girls turn into giant bats and come flying at me. I turn and run back outside. I don't know which way to run. Then I remember I can fly and leap off the railing. Those red disks appear under my feet again. It's not hard getting the hang of them, kind of like roller blades. I just hope I can stay ahead of those bats. Perspective Felicia Mirn. I want to go and look for cousin Ariel, but knocking out this reactor must come first. These vas empires must never open any more portals to other universes. Mayor Gunter's got lots and lots of vampires at his disposal. I keep fighting them back as hard as I can. It's bad comic book, nerds. It seems like I knock a few vampires away, and then my spider instincts tell me there are more coming. Everybody else is managing to keep the majority of the other vampires away. I can't believe Aileen's younger cousin keeps driving that little sputtering car around like it's her favorite toy. As long as those twins can stay ahead of the game, I can make for the reactor. Most importantly, Bella's keeping Mayor Gunter busy with her. Bella keeps knocking him down, but he keeps getting right back up again. I've got to reach that reactor and knock it out. I've only been a Spider Girl for over a year, but I've been trying to be a good mirror. I've been trying to make a difference. I know I've got to keep making a difference. Just as a few vampires are ready to get the drop on me, Carter Cross gets the drop on them with his mongoose bike, and that gives me the opening I need. Thanks, kid, I tell him spirit and guts. He quickly takes off again as I'm making my eight legs work to quickly get me to the main control panel. I happen to be a science whiz, but I'm not trying to turn off the reactor by traditional means. I'm gonna destroy this thing. Keep your hands off that reactor. A voice calls out. I look to see cousin Ariel staring hard at me. Now her red eyes are really glowing, and her fangs are glistening and sharp. That ugly vampire face. Oh no, those vampires turned you, I gasp. Just then I start to feel dizzy. I'm getting hugh very tired. I'm sinking into a deep sleep. I'm I feel so so weak it can't stand feeling. I suddenly cry out when I hear how loud my spider instinct is. I quickly come back alive and smack Aeriel away as she's about to bite me. I rise up on my eight legs again. I can't believe I forgot about that glam thing vampires do. That's an experience for you. Then I'm wondering if Bella can glam people too. More and more vampires are coming in through the windows. If I'm gonna destroy this reactor, I gotta do it now. I raise my humanoid arms and throw my mutant spider's strength into the panel. Hopefully it blows up fast, the panel, I mean, not the reactor. We gotta be able to get home before that happens, right, I smash the control panel and bang it up pretty good, but no sparks or sputters. I do it again. Still nothing. Then I scream and hit it one more time. Just then I feel my spider instinct. I turn and look to see another Aeriel. This one's got glowing hair and is flying around on some kind of light discs under her tennis shoes. You okay, she asks me, Are you our Ariel? I ask back, duh, She calls back, I point to the panel. Blast this thing, Ariel, for real? Stand back, she warns. As she's about to blast the panel, she's taken off her disks by two wolves. When they're all on the ground, the wolves turn into girls and move to jump a winded Aeriel. No, Carter calls out. He slams into one of them with his bike and knocks her down, but she's quickly back on her feet and snatches him off his bike. Let me go, Mona, Carter yells, oh, I'll let you go right after. I have you for a quick bite. Don't even think about it, Ariel as she unloads on the Mona girl with red and green fireballs. She takes down the other girl shortly after and runs to Carter. You okay me, what about you? He returns. They quickly share a brief hug. No question, these two have major feelings for each other. I quickly turn back to the control panel and smash it one more time. I scream when I feel an enormous charge flowing right into me and making me slump down. I'm definitely stunned. Now I gotta shake it off and make sure. I hear voices calling out that the reactors control rods are offline and that the whole thing's gonna blow in ten minutes. Just then, that sputtering car with the twins inside stops next to the portal machine. Then they get out. What are they doing? Then I see a Leen working on the portal machine herself part of the plan. We gotta get that thing fixed for ourselves so we can return home. Madeline uses her compact to become I'm her ghostly friend again. I grown and forced myself to stand on my eight legs again. It's hard to move. I got zapped pretty good. I ain't deep fried, but I'm still feeling the voltage. Come on, Felicia, get up. Your universe don't realize it, but it needs you in the worst way right now. You've gotta help your teammates. You're a superhero. Get up. I push with every last bit of will I've got. I finally get back to my feet. This is it. It's now or never, Comic book and horror nerds. We make our last stand here and now there's more scares where that came from. Weekly Spooky will be right back. Perspective Bela Taba. Mayor Gunter keeps calling me a child and telling me I need to stop fighting him so he can fix the reactor. I laugh inside it, knowing I'm much older than him. I definitely saw Iiny trying to fix the portal machine. It looks like Mary Worth has cast some kind of spell that's making the vampires go blind. When the spell affects Mayor Gunter, I grab him and hurl him at a nearby wall. He crashes right through it and is outside. Then I can see the rest of the vampires are turning tail and running. Yeah, they know the reactor's gonna go boom very shortly. I quickly warp over to Iiny you okay, I ask her, just need a little more time, bells, she tells me quickly. Then I notice Mary's gone. Yeah, she went to make sure no innocent people are around when the reactor goes off. I'm sure she'll be back shortly. Just then everybody else comes over to where we are when we're hearing how many minutes are left, and they're decreasing fast. I'll admit I'm getting scared over here. I'm wondering if this is what'll finally be the end of me, or will Thornton Jillian again have the last laugh. Nah, I can't think about myself like that, not right now. Iiny's working her soldering gun and fusing circuits together. It amazes me what this little mouse can do with electronics. I mean, she's made so many wonderful toys for us to fight other supernatural bad guys with, including those sunlight gauntlets. She's a real tinker. Back up, everybody, I say, don't crowder, let her work. I can see how scared Iiny is. I don't think she's ever had to work under pressure like this before. At one point, she groans and backs away. I can't do it, she squeaks, Yes you can, Aileen Felicia says softly, this is you, this is your superpower, this is what you do. You can do this, you must. Heiny nods, takes a deep breath and goes back to work. So many complex circuits. Here, she mutters. The rest of us keep an eye out for possible vampire attackers. None of them come back in though, Okay, I spoke too soon. That other Arial Mirn appears with her versions of Mona Abels and Bailey Downs. I point right at them. You three better just run while you have the chance. No need, The other Ariel says, we'll stop mouse before she can fix the portal machine. Aini quickly raises her arm and clicks on her sun lamp, making them get back fast. Yeah, I got your mouse right here. Just then, our aerol is flying on light discs. No way you're stopping this, she tells those vampires. You may be bloodsuckers, but I have arcadious powers. The other Ariel laughs, it won't matter. After one of us bites you, you'll stay here and be one of us. Once you feel the same hunger we feel, then you'll help us. Our aerols hands burn with red and green fires. Now, if I have to stay here in this universe to make sure you don't ever make another portal, then I I'm okay with that. The vampire aerial doesn't look so confident. Now you're a Miran. There's no way you'd sacrifice yourself. It's not in your blood. You see that giant spider there, our Ariel returns. She's a miron. She's the one who's keeping our spirits up and convincing us we need to do the right thing. I know what mom did to both of us. She shakes her head quickly. I won't be like her. Mom did me a huge solid by disowning me. I can decide what I want to do with my own life. I don't have to live up to expectations other than my own, so I'm choosing to stay behind. I will not let you win. None of us here will. Vampire Aeriel screams and flies right at our Aeriel. Our Ariel screams herself and unleashes her full powers on her vampire counterpart. Before long, the vampire is flat on her back, smokes, fuming off her body. I don't think she's dead, but she's not healing up fast either. It's then when Mona and Bailey turn into giant bats and flee. I doubt they'll clear the blast in time. Done, Aine cries, I did it. It's ready. We have to act fast. Only two minutes left. Just then, Mary Worth appears I have used my most powerful white magics to move any mortals out of this state. I am weakened as a result. Mary must have really taxed herself. She uses Mattie's compact and returns into the mirror realm Maddie's with us again. We can go home, cousin Aine tells her. Ariel turns to us and lands, that's right, all of you go home. Like I said, I'm staying behind to destroy this thing once and for all perspective. Carter cross when Ariel said that, my stomach and my heart get heavy fast. I approach Ariel. You can't do this. Ariel gulps a little when she sees me start crying. I never thought I'd really care about Ariel Mirror that much. She's got tears of her own. Now, I'm sorry, Carter, She chokes out. I'm the only one who can destroy this thing the way it needs to be destroyed. Those vampires can never activate this machine ever again. But you'll the blast. I choke back. Then Madeline approaches her. No, Ariel, no, if you have another plan, Mouse, there won't be enough time. We're in the final minute now, She yells at all of us. You have to go now. Bella turns to Aileen. Fire it up, iiny yesterday on it. Bell's It ain't long before Aileen has a portal opening up. It's got to get big enough before we can all leave. I turn back to Ariel. It can't end like this for you. I tell her. It's not fair. Ariel nods quickly. I know, but we don't have time to make another plan. It has to be me, Carter. My mom was the reason why this. Ariel made the earth here what it is. She's not my mom, but I'm going to fix it. I'm going to make it right. She's crying again. Please understand. Okay, let's get moving. Aileen yells, we're almost out of time. Ariel's hurting the same way I am. I'll always be with you, Carter. She turns to Madeline. You two mouse. Your family took me in when mine kicked me to the curb. This is how I repay that. Madeline quickly hugs Ariel before she runs into the portal behind that giant spider. Then I'm staying too, I tell Ariel. She shakes her head. No, Carter, you won't. Bella get Carter out of here. Bella grabs me and throws me through the portal. Bella gives Ariel a thumbs up. Ariel gives a thumbs up back. Then Bella dives through the portal before I can attempt to go back through, the portal closes for the last time. Epilogue perspective aerial MIRRN. This is really it. The final five seconds. I use my Christmas powers and blast the main reactor controls one last time. As soon as the timer hits zero, I start to see the explosion coming from the control panel. At the same time, I see my life flashing right before my eyes, and then I suddenly remember something. Queen Arcadia had control of my body when she possessed me back in December. I remember everything Queen Arcadia did. I recall when she captured Mona Abels. First, Queen Arcadia turned into something like lightning energy and went into an electrical outlet. Then she appeared in front of Mona by coming out of a street lamp above her. She became me again. Before or capturing Mona, I change myself into lightning energy and go right into the portal machine. My energy causes the machine to overload to the point where it explodes. There's no way the vampires are going to get this thing to work ever again, of course, the blast wave might have finished it off. Anyway. I merge with the last of the energies that were keeping the portal open and shoot right for it. And before I realize what's happening, I'm right back on the other side with the others. I scare everybody when a huge electrical bolt comes out of a street lamp near them in Gunter's Square, a park in downtown village. Ariel, I hear someone screaming, I'm flat on my back when Carter Cross wraps his arms around me and lifts me into a sitting position. You you really made it, back, he gasps. I nod quickly, Yeah, I did, didn't I I let Carter help me to my feet. Then I see all of us who saved our universe and the many others out there. I can't believe all this stuff is really real. I mean, I learned that vampires, giant spiders, and ghosts are real, but the concept of alternate universe is I guess science fiction isn't so much fiction anymore. Did you do it? Ariel? Cousin Felicia asks me. I nod quickly again. Oh yeah, I blew that machine to bits. I can also confirm that reactor went kerpluey. Suddenly, Mouse shoots right at me and holds me close. I hug her back. I'm here, Mouse. I tell her you don't have to explain to your parents why I'm not coming home after all. Mouse looks up at me now with tears. You said home. Well, it's the only one I've got, I say, unless your parents say otherwise, which you know they won't. Ariel, we all take a moment to realize what we did. I know it's a moment that's going to stay with all of us, especially me. We actually saved our world and countless other earths. No, Mom, I didn't go the way vampire me did. I could never be like you. Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe I don't hate you so much anymore. I also remember Brian Chunk told me during our mall overnight about being a dominant miran. He told me to be my own dominant miran. It's my destiny now, Mom, and you'll never take that away from me. Never you tried. Giving me to Queen Arcadia. Not only did I conquer your code come to life, I also gained her powers. Queen Arcadia wanted to conquer the mortal Realm. I'm going to use her powers to try and help save it. Seeing these others Bela Tabon, Cousin, Felicia, the Twin Mice, and even Carter with his bike, we saved our world, Mom, I even saved you for what it's worth to have a nice life. Mom. Then I see Carter still looking at me. I come to him. We hold each other for a long time, then we finally come apart. We look at each other again, and then I go with my feelings. Carter and I hear the cheers from everybody else. Like I said, Mom, have a nice life. I'm not even mad at you anymore. I'm free to do whatever I want. I can write my own destiny and be my own dominant miran, And I guess part of my new destiny is going back to Strickfield Town Center Mall with the others to see Tiffany get her key to the village after we all get cleaned up. First, after math, Adrian Miron walked around her mansion inside the gated community. She walked into her bedroom and sat down in front of her mirror to brush her long blonde hair before going to bed. As she did, she noticed something was wrong. She leaned in for a close her look and saw the wrinkles under her eyes. This can't be, she yelled. I'm immortal. Queen Arcadia promised me that forgiving her life years ago. Adrian got up and went downstairs. Soon she came to a secret door that only she knew about and entered. She moved through the corridor until she came into a hidden layer. There, she quickly gathered the ingredients she required for the spell she intended to use. After reciting the spell, the spirit of Queen Arcadia appeared. Adrian could see she was very weak from having been overthrown by her daughter Ariel. I know why you have summoned me, Adrian miron. Arcadia said weakly. Your immortality is fading because I no longer have the power to grant it unto you. Your daughter now possesses all of my limitless power. There's no way that I can reclaim them. Her spirit dimmed. Two two week Arcadia's spirit finally disappeared. Adrian became very angry and determined. You think you're free of me, little one, She sneered, I will find you aerial renaissance mirror, reclaim you and take those powers away from you. She tightened her fists. You have become the bane of my existence for the last time, not the end, well, my Spookyes, I hope you enjoyed that thrilling and action packed conclusion as much as I did. And I'm not gonna lie I got I got pretty emotional when I thought Natalie and might be stuck in the Vampire universe or worse, obliterated by the nuclear blast. But I'm just a sucker for a good story, as I hope you've figured out after over two hundred and seventy two episodes. But I've got no shame in it, my friends, and don't worry, there'll be another strict Field mini series before you know it. We do on every January as well, so make sure you're subscribed and ready for the long haul, because as I mentioned, October is going to be a wildly fun time and a celebration of all things spooky, as we publish shows every single day in October, and if you've been around before, you'll know Christmas time is also extremely fun here at Weekly Spooky.
