L-Force: I Wish…

Yahoo! I got this one up really quickly! Anyway, the last few paragraphs of the previous story are a prequel for this story, so you better have read them. Well, I hope you enjoy this one, it's the first one in this series that I finished writing before publishing it, and I put a lot more effort into it than the last one, even if it is pretty much based on the Wizards of Waverly Place Movie later on (I didn't mean to do that, I just got stuck and decided to do it). Hope you enjoy this!

Chapter 1

Kyra let 2 girls and a boy into the hideout. "I understand if you're a little uncomfortable about this with the Dark Side out there, but we protect each other and we won't let anything happen to any of you, trust me."

"It's dangerous out there," said the dark-haired girl whose green eyes were flecked with red, "How can you be so sure that we're safe here?"

"Because with you guys, there's…" She did some quick counting on her fingers. "…29 of us."

"Don't worry about Uma, we're watching her," said the blonde girl with sea blue eyes.

Kyra nodded. "Alright, all you really need to do is meet everyone." She whistled as loudly as possible, making everyone jump and come to attention. "Is everyone here? OK. This is Uma…" The dark-haired girl glanced at them all and then leaned back against the wall. "…Raina…" The blonde girl smiled and nodded. "…and Harry." The ferret boy with dark eyes waved. "OK, this is Ace, Lexi, Tech, Rev, Duck, Slam, me, Nathan, Sandra, Lindy, Arra, Byron, Darryl, Trinity and Orion, Willis, Cassandra, Gail and Howie, Ingrid, Max, Paula, Quinn, and—last but no least—Z—" She looked around. "Where's Zara?"

Everyone else looked. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed wish-granter was nowhere to be seen.

Kyra raced off to Zara's room and frantically started knocking on the door. "Zara!" No answer. She opened the door and walked in. Zara was gone. She ran back to Rev. "Rev, is she, by any chance, still on your radar?"

Rev's eyes flashed rev. "No. She's-completely-disappeared. Not-even-on-my-grid."

Kyra sighed. "So where is she?"

Meanwhile…

Zara lay on a bed, her eyes shut tight. Then slowly, they opened. She blinked a few times at what she saw. She looked around and sat upright. She wasn't in the hideout, she was in…her house. The house that had been burned down almost 2 years ago. How was this possible? Then she remembered…

"I wish Zack had never turned evil!" She looked at her hand… Before she could stop herself, she snapped her fingers.

But this couldn't be the outcome of that wish. The house had burned down over 2 years ago and Zack had only been evil for about a month and a half. Were her powers on the fritz? What had happened?

"Hey, Zar!"

She lit up upon hearing that familiar voice. Maybe her wish had come true after all.

In came a boy who could have been her twin. Sorry, let rephrase that: the boy that was her twin. "We gotta get going. Are you—"

"Zack!" She pounced on him and hugged him as hard as she could.

"Zara…choking…not breathing."

"Oh, sorry." She let go. "You're OK!"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, with all that's been going on for the past few years."

"Right, with our powers from the meteor and the Dark Side."

"Yeah, exactly."

"Yeah, a lot's changed, huh?"

"You have no idea."

"Come on, Kyra's gonna kill us if we're late again." He left.

Zara didn't stop smiling. "Huh?" She followed him to their backyard and into their tree-house. Why are we going here? Shouldn't the hideout still be up and running…or the tower? Then again, if we're still at the house, I guess this is closer. She went along with it and got into the tree with Zack.

"Sorry we're late," Zack told Nathan and Kyra, "This little Goldilocks refused to wake up."

Zara playfully smacked him, still smiling.

"Alright, we've gotta talk about putting up the resistance," said Nathan.

"Nat, for the last time, we're not going up against the Dark Side," said Kyra.

Zara stared at her, her smile fading. Where was the leader who never backed down? Zack's turning had no effect on Kyra, she'd been brilliant well before that.

"So what if they've got us outnumbered?" asked Nathan, "We can do some pretty cool stuff."

Zara's look transferred to him. "Outnumbered?" With Zack on their side, shouldn't it be the other way around?

"Nat, just 'cause you and I have some powers doesn't mean we can take them," said Kyra, "I mean, you don't have any offense powers and sometimes animals aren't enough."

Zara kept looking at her. "You and I"? Why weren't they talking about all 4 of them like they were all mutants? Wait a minute… Then it hit her. While Kyra, Nathan, and Zack kept going on, she was thinking. Zack, in her dream, had said he'd been evil longer than she realized… He'd beaten up that boy at the hospital when he got out of his coma, was he evil then? Yeah, he was. 'Cause he was evil throughout his coma! When she made that wish, she'd been thinking "I wish he'd never gone to the Dark Side," but it had come out "I wish he'd never turned evil." So that's the wish that got granted. That was it! His coma is what made him evil, she could feel it! His power had been mixing together inside him during his coma. So his power was what was making him evil. So the only way to avoid him being evil was if he'd never been affected by the meteor in the first place! In this reality, Zack had no power so L-Force had never formed!

"What do you think, Zara?" asked Kyra, intruding on Zara's thoughts.

Zara looked at them, panicking. "I think we have a problem."
