Here it is chapter 2!

I hope you all enjoy it, I may not be able to update this week, but I only have a week and a half left of school before Christmas break where I will have 6-7 weeks off school and I know I am going to be writing a ton of chapters in that time.

Now this chapter will have the introduction of a new OC, courtesy of Swag Giraffe, I hope you like her as I know I enjoyed writing scenes for her.

ALSO I am going to be seeing Wicked again either in December or January with my Cousin Caine ( he's the one I based the character in this off ) and I'm really excited to see it again.

Reviews:

Doglover645: your predictions are quite bold, but all will be revealed in the following chapters.

Fae'sFlower ( AKA NiaTheWickedLover ) : Hahahaha, well I'm glad your excited. I love being back into this series and writing it. I hadn't noticed the Voldemort parallels but I see it now.

"I'm pretty sure you already have an inkling of why" he said turning to Caine.

"But I'll indulge you anyway. The reason for me still possessing my abilities is the same reason you still have yours when you travel here, the same goes with Elphaba and Glinda. Unlike the others we possess magic, while they merely have powers over certain things, when I arrived back here I discovered that I could still use my magic" he said as the others looked at the sorcerers and witches with jealousy in their eyes, Glinda gave a sheepish expression and a small giggle as their stares narrowed.

"That's not fair, I WANT MY POWERS NOOOOOOW!" Rae exclaimed in a huff before crossing her arms and frowning.

"I haven't even seen a single Kangaroo yet either" she said grumpily.

"Yeah, it sucks not being able to control plants! Do any of you know how difficult it is to actually GROW something from scratch with no magic…..it's no picnic!" Nia complained, she really missed being able to make flowers pop up out of nowhere and make luscious green vegetation at a whim.

The other currently powerless members of the group had similar arguments, except for Holly who turned to Caine.

"But didn't you say you were working on a potion to restore our powers?" she said as everyone turned to Caine inquisitively.

"Yes that's right, I have been working on a potion to restore your abilities" he said as he raised his left hand and a small box appeared in his hand, opening it to reveal a vial with a yellow liquid inside of it.

"However I haven't completed it yet, there are still some missing components that I haven't been able to get my hands on" he said as the groups faces fell at hearing that last part.

"I've also been working on a similar project, I was hoping to have finished by now but I too am missing some parts of the formula" Shaun said as he looked at Caine who nodded.

"We should compare notes than, maybe there's something we can do together that can fill in some of the blanks" he said as the currently powerless heroes suddenly brightened at hearing that.

"Ok, but for now we should focus on finding somewhere to stay" Elphaba said evenly as she looked at the group who was now in a much better mood.

"Yeah, hey maybe we can find a hotel somewhere in town?" Nagisa said as the others nodded before turning to Elphaba.

"Oh yeah because I'm sure that a green woman with a bunch of children won't be weird or suspicious at all" Elphaba said slightly sarcastically.

"Not to mention we don't have any Earth money" Glinda said as she paced around trying to come up with a solution.

"Caine don't you have several accounts you use while you're here, you could find us a place to stay" Holly said as Caine suddenly lit up with realisation.

"Of course, why didn't I think of that before" he said happily.

"Because you were too busy making goo goo eyes at each other" Hope said as she and Jane giggled at the sight of Caine and Holly blushing at their teasing.

"That won't be necessary" Shaun said as all eyes turned to him.

"You can all stay at my place" he said as Elphaba looked taken back at the gesture.

"Oh, well that is very kind but we wouldn't want to impose" she said.

"Not to mention there might not be a lot of room with all of us" she said as she gestured to the group of people standing around them.

As she said that Shaun and Rose let out a small laugh, Shaun turned back to them.

"Hehehe, somehow I don't think that will be a problem. Here use this to find my house" he said as he took a key out of his pocket and closed his fist around it before opening it and handing the key to Caine, which was now glowing slightly.

"A tracking spell?" Caine said examining the key.

"Yes, all you need to do is concentrate on the key when you do the group teleportation and it will take you to my house" he said as he walked back over to Rose.

"What about you, aren't you coming with us?" Jane said confused as Shaun smirked and wrapped an arm around Rose.

"I prefer my way" he said before red smoke surrounded him and Rose, when it cleared they were gone.

"Show off" Julie muttered before turning back to Caine, Elphaba and Glinda.

"Can we get going, it's really hot out here" she said letting out a huff as she felt like she was going to melt away in the heat.

"Im guessing it's around forty degrees" Caine said as the group now looked confused.

"Wait forty? That's not hot at all, how can it be forty and be this hot?" Nagisa exclaimed.

"Australians use Celsius to measure temperature, unlike in some other countries where Fahrenheit is used; forty degrees Celsius would be roughly over 105 degrees Fahrenheit" he said calculating the conversion.

"What! That's insane, how can they deal with this!" Nia screamed before slumping down.

Hope dragged herself over to Elphaba and Glinda before turning to Caine

"I need cold stuff and I need it now, let get going, the sooner we get to frosty the snow man's house the better, maybe he can make it snow indoors or something" she said as she grabbed Elphaba's left hand and the others followed, preparing for the transportation spell. Caine took out the key and held it in his right fist, concentrating on the key he could feel the magic imbued within it working and in a flash they found themselves in what appeared to be a large backyard.

Looking around they saw a pool in one corner of the yard and some large tree's which looked trimmed and shaped, they fully turned to take a look at the house and everyone's jaw dropped except Caine's at the sight of the large home.

It was a two story house which looked huge, now they understood why Shaun had said there wouldn't be a problem with them all fitting in the house; they could all stay there with room to spare.

"….It looks like something Glinda would live in" Elphaba said as she looked at the colour scheme, the house had a distinct light pink exterior, which seemed to blend in perfectly with the architecture of the house.

"…*sniff*….It's ...i-it's beautiful" Glinda said, her eyes misting over as she looked at the home with envy, she couldn't wait to look inside.

The sound of doors opening caught their attention, looking up they saw Shaun walking out from the backdoor which was a large glass sliding door, now clad in white pants and a dark blue button up shirt, he strode across the lawn until he was with the group.

"So what do you think?" he said smiling at their reaction.

"Well I'm pretty sure Glinda is not going to want to leave" Fiyero said snorting slightly as Glinda gave him a light slap on the arm before practically sprinting ahead of the others and running into the house squealing in excitement.

"Dude, when you said a house I was expecting maybe a one story thing with three rooms, this is freaking huge!" Jane said waving her arms at the large home.

"Hahahah, well I didn't want to ruin the surprise dearie, and on the plus side we have it all to ourselves, since my father is away on a business trip" he said referring to his adoptive father.

When he said the word father Rae instantly looked down slightly, she was still dealing with the memories of their birth parents and their deaths that she had supressed for so long, Shaun noticed this and put his hand on her shoulder and gave her a small smile.

"You know when you used to say you wanted to live in a castle" he said as she nodded slightly, smiling at the memories of when she was younger and proclaimed she would one day have a huge castle like something out of a Disney movie.

"Well this may not be a castle, but it's still pretty awesome" he said as he put his arm around her and led them inside.

After half an hour of showing them around the large house and the multiple rooms that were inside of it, including a stop at the kitchen where everyone was able to get something to eat, and naturally much coffee was brewed as the caffeine obsessed members of the group got a chance to indulge in freshly brewed coffee and even use the kitchens coffee maker which could make cappuccino's, Latte's, Mocha's and a variety of other Coffee combinations which had almost sent Jane into a shock induced coma. The same could be said for Nagisa who had discovered a miniature chocolate fountain and had drenched several already sweet treats into the small device covering them in thick layers of melted chocolate before ravenously consuming them.

They were now heading down a flight of stairs which led to the basement, a single door was present at the bottom of the stairs, and Shaun turned back to them.

"Do you want to see something really cool?" he said with a raised eyebrow, the others nodded enthusiastically as he reached for the door and opened it.

The sight was not as exciting as they were expecting, there was a lounge positioned in one corner of the room, along with several boxes, a water heater and many other assorted things you would expect to find in a basement.

"Uuum yeah…..this is great" Glinda said slowly, clearly trying to force excitement unsuccessfully.

"That's not what I wanted to show you, this is" Shaun said as he closed the door and his right hand glowed purple as the doorknob glowed as well before a small sound could be heard which sounded like a breeze, smirking he opened the door and the faces of the gang lit up in awe.

The room now looked completely different, not a trace of the former room was left as the carpet was now a red soft material which felt like wool, the room had several electric lights on the walls as well as torches to keep it lit, a large mirror similar to the one Elphaba had in Kiamo Ko was positioned above a fire place which was currently not lit, the walls were also adorned with object if decoration and practical use, a sword was placed on a mount over a painting which looked to be of a large Rose surrounded by floral arrangements, as well as there being pedestals and tables spread out showing more objects of interest . As well as having a large flat screen TV and other similar commodities, it appeared that there were several doors in the room which seemed to lead elsewhere indicating that there may be more rooms connected to it.

"…..Well this was unexpected" Nia said as the others nodded in agreement mutely.

"This is my little den, or my workstation. I spend a lot of time here when im not working at the shop or doing other things, as well in some of the adjoining rooms" he said pointing to some of the other rooms as he walked over to a large table with multiple bottles filled with potions of all sorts.

"This is incredible, how were you able to make something like this, I'm not sure even I could" Elphaba said as she studied the room, a transfiguration spell possibly? Or maybe this room was separate from the house altogether and merely bound here by magic?

Shaun walked over to a large brown cabinet with double doors that reached to the ceiling; the doors were solid wood and couldn't be seen through. Opening the doors he revealed it to be a large bookcase which was filled to the brim with books.

"These are all books on magic and other related topics that I was able to summon here, most of them are from Evanna's personal collection seeing as I have all of the books she had, as well as books from other worlds that she got her hands on through one way or another" he explained as Elphaba took a step towards the bookcase and began to scan over the contents.

"Do you mind?" she asked motioning to the collected library.

"Go right ahead" Shaun said as she began to take out several books that caught her eye.

Rose's voice caught Shaun's attention as she had found something that wasn't positioned like any of the other ornaments, but lying against the potions desk.

"What's this?" she said as she held up the object, everyone else seemed to be focused on other things in the room and didn't take notice as Shaun turned and his eyes widened at the object in her hands, it was a black cane with a golden coloured brass handle.

Instantly Shaun's breath was caught in his throat as he stared at the cane.

"She's not coming back"

Rose looked a Shaun questionably as his eyes seemed unfocused and glazed over.

"And it's YOUR fault, not mine!"

"Shaun?" Rose said as she tried to gain his attention, she frowned slightly at his behaviour with concern.

"YOU ARE HER FATHER"

Rose walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder "Shaun what's wrong"

"YOU!, ITS YOUR FAULT , ITS YOUR FAULT!"

Shaun was lost in the memory and didn't hear Rose over the echoed sound of the cane hitting flesh and bone in his mind, he shook his head as he realised that she was now standing right next to him.

"O-Oh, I'm sorry Rose I just got a bit distracted for a moment there" he said before reaching for the cane and holding it in his right hand as he walked over and placed it on a shelf.

"That's just a little keepsake I've had for a while, nothing too important" he said evenly.

"Ok then, is it ok if I go and take a dip in the pool?" she asked as he looked up at her.

"Of course, you needn't ask" he said as he waved his hand and instantly a towel appeared from one of the upstairs closets, Rose smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek before heading out of the den.

Glinda however was the only one besides Rose who noticed his behaviour and now that Rose had left, walked over to him in concern.

"Is that…." She began as she motioned to the cane in a hushed tone.

"….Yes it is" he answered before walking over to the potions desk and beginning work on the potion.

For about an hour everyone explored the house separately after leaving Shaun's den, except for Elphaba who had stayed to read through some of the books she had picked out, and Shaun and Caine who began to work on the potion for the others powers.

Rae had asked if she could go into town due to her wanting to look around and since she hadn't eaten much when she arrived, Shaun agreed but had said that she should take someone with her to be safe, and so she wouldn't get lost like their trip to the Emerald City on Nagisa's birthday.

Glinda had instantly volunteered to accompany her, which got a look of concern from Fiyero as he thought that both girls would probably get distracted and end up half way across town knowing them, especially if they saw something they liked.

They both were told to stick together and given mobiles just in case they were separated, Glinda needed some explanation on how to use the device but had picked up on the basics and the two had headed out excitedly.

However unbeknownst to them at the same time, a teenage girl was just stepping off a bus after travelling several hours from the airport,she had long auburn hair tied up in a pony-tail, was wearing a forest green shirt with a heart on it which looked like a bass clef treble note. Her hazel eyes blinked slightly at the glare of the sun which was high in the sky and unhindered by clouds.

She had a suitcase with her and a small backpack, which she hefted up onto her back and began to walk down to where she assumed the centre of town was, taking out a small map she began to look over it.

" This is what you get Elora for not booking a hotel beforehand" she said to herself as she begin to search for someplace to eat, she hadn't eaten since she got off the plane, and airline food wasn't the most filling thing to eat.

( With Glinda and Rae: Half an hour later )

The two had somehow managed not to become separated from each other and were now sitting in a small café and enjoying some pastries they had bought.

"This is so nice, it almost erases the fact that were being targeted by an evil psycho witch who is intent on killing us and taking over the earth" Rae said sighing contently, Glinda raised an eyebrow at the choice of words before giving a small giggle.

"Yeah I guess it is, I'm just so glad we're back together again, me and Elphaba were missing you like crazy" Glinda said after taking a bite out of her croissant.

"I missed you guys too, do you know what it's like to go through something like we did and then be dropped back off into our lives like that! Plus no powers, my brain almost exploded from trying to use my telekinesis" Rae said thinking back to all the headaches she induced upon herself while trying to move a pencil.

They were interrupted as they saw a girl sit at the table next to them; she had a suitcase and bags with her and seemed to be tired, she had already picked up and order and quickly began to devour one of the cupcakes on her plate as if she were starving, Rae giggled slightly as the girl looked up at her and her face was covered in frosting and crumbs, still chewing it in her mouth.

"...I'm really hungry" she said with a mouth full of cupcake as she reached for another one.

"Are you a tourist or something?" Glinda asked as she noticed the girls luggage.

"Oh, yeah I'm here on holiday, I'm from New York" she said wiping her mouth with a napkin before turning to the two of them.

"My name is Elora, Elora Wycliffe" she said as she smiled at them, before turning back to her back and pulling out a booklet, she seemed to be frowning as she scanned through it, before turning back to Glinda and Rae.

" You two wouldn't know of anywhere I could stay around here would you? I didn't organize it before I came here and now I'm kind of stuck" she said as she looked embarrassed.

Rae turned to Glinda with a smile on her face.

( Twenty Minutes Later )

The two were now walking back to Shaun's house with Elora in tow, she seemed rather relieved at having found a place to stay but also slightly nervous.

" Are you sure this will be okay, me staying with you?" she said as she walked beside them, Rae turned to the older girl with a smirk.

" Don't worry, it's my brother house and I'm pretty sure that means I can invite people there as well, its like a rule or something" she said as they arrived at the house and Elora's mouth dropped at the sight of it.

" I-Its..."

" Huge, yeah we know" Rae said as they made their way to the door.

( In Shaun's Lair )

Nia sat in a lounge chair and was staring at a nearby potted plant with intensity, she pointed at it and focused, straining herself with effort but nothing happened, she fell back in the chair and pouted as Shaun and Caine were busy mixing different ingredients over at the potion table.

They heard Rae's voice call out to them from up the stair's as she walked down with Glinda and another girl that they didn't know with them.

" Hey Shaun I brought this girl home, can i keep her?" Rae said as she gave him a wide eyed pleading look, Shaun turned around to acknowledge her and instantly Elora gasped at the sight of him.

It was him

The strange creepy guy from her nightmares she had experienced several months ago, he may look different but she knew it was him, she was so over come with fear and anxiety that she did the first thing that came to mind.

" AAAARRRGGH" She screamed as she picked up a nearby vase from a pedestal and threw it at him from across the room, Shaun moved to the right mere seconds before it hit him as it impacted against the wall.

The others looked wide eyed as she was now looking at Shaun with a look of fear and determination.

" YOU WONT HAUNT ME ANYMORE!" she screamed a she picked up a long lamp like a sword and ran at him swinging it in all directions, Shaun dodged her swings as he looked over her to give Rae a condescending look.

" OK we really have to talk about the house guests you bring here!" he exclaimed as he grabbed the lamp out of her hands and with a push of his left arm she was flung across the room and suspended against the wall.

She looked at him with growing terror as he walked towards her with a inquisitive look as she couldn't move her body from the wall, there was only one thing she could think of that would work. The occupants of the room suddenly looked on in awe as her hands began to light up with electricity, it arched in her hands as she pointed them outward towards Shaun and in a flash two streams of electricity shot into him flinging him across the room and smashing into a cabinet with a crash.

Caine was standing next to the cabinet and looked down at Shaun evenly "you ok?" he asked a Shaun gave him a narrowed look.

" The better question is WHY ISN'T ANYONE HELPING ME" he exclaimed as he stood up and turned his attention to the girl who now looked rather tired and slumping down, his eyes scanned her intently as a look of realization dawned on his face.

" I know who she is" he said as he walked over to her as she backed away weakly and coincidentally fell into a lounge chair, she stared up at him.

A sight caught his eye as he looked down at her neck and saw a green stone on a chain resting on her chest, turning back to the others who were still taking in what had just happened.

" I know how to get your powers back, and she is the key" he said as the others eyes widened as Elora looked up at him in confusion.

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT CHAPTER 2

In the next chapter we will discover just what i mean by Elora being the key to your powers.

and Evanna will appear before them

Promises will be made, and broken

UNTIL THAN please review and tell me what you think it really helps and i love getting feedback.

oh and here's a little preview for whats to come

"How dare you!" he growled as he raised Robin higher off the ground as he struggled to breathe, his legs kicking wildly but doing nothing the aide him.

"You want a monster, FINE! lets see how much of a monster I am, when I tear your heart right out of your chest" he said angrily as the man was still thrashing against him.

Rae now had a horrified look on her face as she ran over towards her brother frantically.
"No No please stop it" she cried as she tried to pull Shaun's arm off of Robins throat.
"You've got to stop Shaun this isn't you!" she cried as he pushed her back slightly with his arm before turning to face her, her eyes widening in shock and fear at what she saw.
His eyes were once again a scorching red colour and his hair was spiked in some parts, his mouth was etched into a wide grin as he tared nack at Rae.
"Oh but it is dearie!" he cried out in the impish high tone gleefully "Nyahahahaha Always has been, always will be"

Shaun stood in the woods, Rae several feet behind him as the wind picked up and he raised his hands to the sky.

" I call upon the powers of darkness, Come forth and heed my commands"

Elora looked down at her pendant in confusion.

" what is an Archenstone?"

" You lied to me!" Rose said angrily

" your still a man who makes wrong choices, i thought you had changed"

" Oh what in the few hours youve known me?"

" I'm sorry Rose! I am !"

Ciel stared down at the group with a smirk
