Chapter Six: The Mission
"Timothy, are you alright?" Timmy's golden eyes slowly opened to see three of Tecna's maids looking over him.
"Tecna, where's Tecna?" Timmy asked as he shot up from the floor and ran into Tecna's room. He searched every inch of the room, calling out for Tecna, however she was no where in sight.
"We couldn't find her either, Master Timothy. We assumed something must've happened that you would know about." One of the maids told him.
"I was knocked out… the wizards we attacking the house and… The wizards took her!" Timmy suddenly realized his biggest fear, as well as Tecna's. She had been kidnapped by the wizards, and they would do horrible things to her. Unspeakable things that shook him to the very core and made his blood run cold. Not to mention the fact that one of the wizards threatened to marry her, Timmy had to stop whatever they were about to do before it was too late.
"Oh no!" the three maids cried out in a panic, however Timmy had no time to panic. What he had to do was get back up.
Timmy began a video conference with all his scientist partners, since they know his relationship with Tecna. First, Sky appeared on the screen, with Bloom, Brandon and Stella in the background.
"Sky, Brandon, Tecna's been captured by the wizards! I never thought it would happen, but it did!" Timmy cried out in pure horror, just imagining what that were planning to do to poor Tecna.
"Okay, Timmy, just take a few deep breathes, we'll be there with the ship in half an hour." Sky told him calmly.
"I don't have half an hour!" Timmy yelled, his heart pounded so hard it felt like he couldn't contain it in his chest anymore.
"Timmy!" Riven exclaimed, his screen appearing in the video conference, "You need to calm yourself!"
"How can I calm down when Tecna is in the hands of those villainous criminals?" Timmy asked in a panic.
"Okay." Nabu began, his screen popped up to add to the video conference, "We'll be there as fast as we can." Layla was sitting in the background, knitting something.
"Just tell me where their fortress is, I'll go myself!" Timmy shouted.
"It's in the dark realm of Obsidian, but Timmy, it's too dangerous! You'll never make it out alive!" Helia protested, as his screen came into view of all other participants of the conference.
"I don't care, I would risk my life to see Tecna unharmed." Timmy admitted, "I'm not letting her stay in the hands of those evil wizards. They'll hurt her, I know it."
"Timmy, if you go without us and survive, I will personally knock your teeth out." Riven threatened, "ThIs is the stupidest act of heroics you have ever made!"
"I'm sorry to say, but Riven's right." Brandon sighed, "If you go alone, you'll regret it."
"Guys, I don't care!" Timmy yelled, turning off his screen. Then he rushed out to his hidden garage, were he had an inter-realm ship for just such emergencies. He raced aboard, and buckled himself in, because he know this was going to be a fast paced ride at the speed of light. With full fuel, Timmy started the engine and immediately headed into hyper-speed. He wanted to get to the wizards' fortress any way he could.
"Timmy, Timmy!" Sky called out over his video screen, "He hung up on us."
"He's going to Obsidian alone, we can't let him do that!" Helia exclaimed.
"I swear, I am going to knock the living tar out of him once I see him again." Riven mumbled exasperatedly.
"Riven, don't, Timmy may not be having his head on straight, but that's no need to beat him up." Brandon protested.
"We'll take Sky's ship to Obsidian, but we have to hurry. Timmy will be going at hyper-speed the way he's acting." Nabu told the men. At that, they all planned on where to meet, and then hung up.
Tecna opened her eyes to see Gantlos looking down at her through glass, she lay on a comfortable mattress with a blanket covering her.
"Wake up, my sweet." Gantlos began softly, "I convinced Valtor to make your rest a little more pleasant while we suck your powers dry." At that, Tecna wished she could gasp, but she knew she couldn't.
"Don't you worry, my beautiful fairy." he continued, "It won't hurt you." Tecna stood up, noticing that the mattress was surrounded by a glass dome. Colourless smoke filled the air of the dome, slowly draining Tecna's powers without her knowing it. At least, not yet. When she got up, she was still in her fairy form, however it was only a matter of time before she would de-transform and collapse where she stood. She began making frantic hand motions, which Gantlos had studied in his observations of Tecna.
"Oh, you don't have to worry, my sweet. That soothing smell that surrounds you is the inconspicuous gas that is draining you of you magic as I speak." he explained, "Your silence makes it so much easier for me to fall in love with you." When Gantlos said this, Tecna covered her mouth as if she was about to hurl.
"How I adore your rejection, my beauty. But I know that when your rendered powerless, you'll come around." Gantlos laughed evilly as Tecna sat back on the soft mattress in defeat. She wished that Timmy would burst through the window, and in some way, free her from the dome that she was trapped in.
