So sorry it took me this long to update! I've been in the wilderness, where there is no wi-fi! (And I'm going back as soon as I get the chance!)

Thanks to all the people who have left reviews so far. All of them have been anonymous, so…

Guest reviewer 2: Oooh, the Mysticons as element holders? That's a really great idea! I'm not sure I could pull it off without turning it into an ATLA crossover, but I'll add it to my list! I don't think Zarya would be air, though. Too passive. She strikes me as more of a lightning girl! Hehe, lightning puns.

Guest reviewer 3: She totally is! Zarya was my favorite character from the first episode just because of her snarky attitude… but I also love archery. And wolves. And lady pirates… Okay, that's it; I'm totally putting together a Zarya Moonwolf cosplay for my next con. *digs into closet for a navy jacket that could be altered for the purpose*

This is a missing scene that takes place near the end of Episode 21, "Three Mysticons and a Baby." Short and humorous.

The image had faded away, but Arkayna was still staring. I never would have thought… Who knew my twin sister would turn out to be…

She turned to the orphanage matron. "This information may help save the realm, but it will also reunite a family. I don't know how we can thank you."

Mrs. Sparklebottom (yeah, that was a lot less funny now that they'd seen what she was capable of in a fight) shook her head. "No thanks are needed. I apologize, Dragon Mage. I should have known that the Mysticons would have only committed such a crime for the good of the realm."

Clearly, the spider-nanny was unaware of the fact that half of the Mysticons were former street thieves. Arkayna wasn't going to enlighten her. She simply bowed respectfully.

The nanny hustled away. Arkayna was watching Em and Piper coo over Blinky when something hit her in the arm. "Ow!" She looked around, but didn't see anything. Something hit her again, in the shoulder this time. "Yow! What the—"

As she turned around, the source of her pain became obvious. Toddler Zarya was winding up her arm for another swing; she'd been whacking Arkayna with her miniature bow. Her face was contorted in a mask of murderous rage that no toddler should ever wear. Arkayna cringed.

"Un-baby me! Now!" Zarya demanded. It seemed that her patience—never plentiful—had run out. "We have what we came for, now fix this!"

"Oh, um, right. Piper!" Arkayna yelled.

The elf looked over from where she was patting Blinky on his fuzzy head. "Yeah?"

"I need some fiddleheads, star bluebell leaves, spotted toadstools, and a firefruit seed. As quickly as you can!" Arkayna wasn't going to let Zarya's rage build up any more than she had to.

"On it!" Piper cheerfully sped away in search of the ingredients.

Arkayna could feel Zarya glaring at her. She had a bad feeling that her life was going to be full of nasty pranks for the next few days.

"Here ya go!" Piper deposited the ingredients in Arkayna's lap, then returned to where Em was carefully placing Binky into one of the tree-cribs.

Arkayna quickly encased the pile in a glowing orb of magic. The blobs of nature spun around until a puff of smoke appeared and the end result—a small beaker filled with pink liquid—landed in her palm. She immediately held the beaker out to Zarya. "Here, this'll un-baby you."

Zarya took the beaker, but didn't drink it. She eyed Arkayna suspiciously. "That's not the same potion you gave me earlier."

"No, that was a growth potion, and I don't see the proper ingredients for another one around here. This is a negation potion; it'll reverse the effects of the last potion you drank," Arkayna hurried to reassure her.

Apparently Zarya didn't need any more convincing than that; she immediately popped the cap off the beaker and tossed back the pink goo.

Arkayna relaxed a bit. Now everything was back to normal, and they could head back to the Astromancer Palace. "Hey, Em, Piper! Get over here; we're leaving!"

The two girls quickly walked across the sanctuary floor to her side. Arkayna turned toward the exit—and choked back a scream.

Zarya—back to her normal appearance—had an arrow nocked and was aiming point-blank at Arkayna's face. The tip of the arrow was less than three inches away from her nose.

"You. Will. Never. Speak. Of. This. Ever. Again. To anyone!" Zarya bit out, eyes narrowed. "Swear it, right now, all of you!"

"Deal!" squeaked Arkayna. Em and Piper both made their own sounds of agreement.

Zarya's eyes narrowed even further. Arkayna was thinking that it hadn't mattered what she'd agreed to and Zarya was going to kill her anyway, when the glowing blue arrow dissipated as Zarya gently released the bowstring.

"All right, now that that's taken care of, let's head out. I'm getting some really good laughs thinking about what kind of trouble Choko's getting you into, princess, but I am so done with this place." Zarya headed for the exit.

Arkayna shivered. That creepy spider-lady's not someone I'd ever wanna meet in a dark alley, but when Zarya gets like that, the dark alley's probably the one who'd run! The last time she'd seen Zarya get that angry, Captain Kaos had taken a dive into a pit of darkness. I'm REALLY glad she's on our side.

"You coming?"

Arkayna looked up at the doorway. Em was standing there, staring at her worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm coming." Arkayna shook off the last tendrils of fear and headed out the door. "Hey, wait up!"

Bottom line? Don't get on Zarya's bad side. I can't believe Arkayna hadn't figured that out by this point.

Please read and review, but most importantly, enjoy!
