Chapter Seven: Against All Odds

Timmy sat on his bed back on Onyx, staring at the ceiling, thinking about the beautiful technology fairy that stole his heart. The kiss they shared was magical, so full of intense passion and left them both feeling lightheaded with raw emotion. Now that their life forces were merged, he could sense her presence even if they were realms away. He was so deep in his own thoughts that he barely noticed his stepfather walking past his bedroom, and he let out a sigh of pure bliss.

"Tecna, my purpose in life is to protect you, to help you live your life to the fullest. Even if our life forces weren't merged, I would still do it. I love you." He whispered softly, and suddenly his bedroom door opened.

"So, why exactly are you spending so much time on Lynphea?" Timmy's stepfather asked him, "You have no interest in nature.., I don't suppose you've met Flora and Helia's adopted daughter from Zenith.., have you?" Timmy shot Up from his place on his bed to look him dead in the eyes.

"Yes I have, I've been providing her with the technology she needs to survive!" He protested, "Ever since I met her she's been completely cured of her debilitating condition, and during the course of my time with her, I've fallen madly in love with her!"

"And I thought you were going to take over the family company when I retire, you know that if your love for her is going to get in the way of that, I'll have to do something about it." His stepfather told him with an underlying vicious tone.

"Why is this so important to you, I don't even want to take over for you in the company!" Timmy shouted, "I never did!"

"I have no choice then, I forbid you to see this girl ever again! I will make sure that you do not leave this realm to go to Lynphea." The man shot back at him angrily.

"You can't do that!" Timmy protested frantically, "If I don't see her ever again, she'll die! I'll die!" After they shared their sweet passionate kiss, Tecna explained to Timmy all about what happens when two life forces are merged. If they are separated in any way, they will slowly get sick to the point of dying unless they can see each other again. They can be separated for long periods of time if they keep in constant contact, and they can still remain healthy. If one person dies before the other, the other will eventually get sick and die after separation. The bottom line is that the people who's life forces are merged can not be separated or their lives will be in jeopardy.

"Do you think I don't know what that means?" Timmy's stepfather snapped, "You're life forces are merged! I don't care if that's true, you are never to see the last fairy of Zenith again! Do I make myself clear?"

"No, I'm not going to listen to you!" The ginger haired young man yelled back, "You can't keep me away from her!"

"Just watch me." And with that, the middle aged man slammed the door shut, and Timmy sat down on his bed once more, trying to figure out what to do now. Suddenly, the window in his bedroom was barricaded with a metal force field. Noticing this, Timmy got on his laptop, trying to access his WiFi, but he could only access anything from Onyx. This means that he couldn't get in contact with Tecna at all. He then decided to use drastic measures, taking anything he could get his hands on, and trying to at least make a dent in the force field. Unfortunately on contact, Timmy was shot backwards, hitting his head on the wall and passing out. However before he sank into unconsciousness, all he could envision was his beloved Tecna.

"Tecna, I'll get to you, I promise." Was all he could manage before his eyes closed.


Timmy's stepfather walked back down to hallway on the main floor of their house. He then paced the room anxiously, thinking about what he just discovered.

"When the Trix Sisters destroyed Zenith, I knew I could finally live without my powers being in jeopardy. If the population Zenith is restored, so will the power that is hidden in the centre of the realm! That power is an opposite force from my own powers, and by restoring the population of Zenith, it'll be activated! The strength of that power could be able to destroy me! And that girl is the only means to restore her realm." He began to rant, "Having her life force merged with Timmy's makes it so much easier for me to get rid of her, unfortunately it is at the expense of his life, quite a shame, really." But what he wasn't expecting was that Timmy was not one to give up so easily, he was going to fight to be with his love, and find a way to keep her away from any harm.


Late the next night, Tecna was excitedly anticipating a webcam chat with Timmy, it was taking him a long time to contact her, but her waiting was interrupted when she heard a tapping on her window. Looking towards her balcony window, she noticed that a small pebble was being thrown. The magenta haired technology fairy opened her balcony to find that her hero was hovering under her. His body was covered in burns from the electric force field and his clothes were tattered from his escape.

"Timmy, why are you being so secretive, what happened to you?" She asked worriedly, and Timmy jumped on to her balcony, embracing her tightly and pecking her on the forehead endlessly.

"Ssh, Tecna, I'm being watched like a hawk," He told her softly, "When I kissed you last night, I put your life at serious risk. My stepfather will stop at nothing to separate us, and because our life forces are merged.., it could kill you."

"What does he have to gain from keeping us apart?" Tecna asked just as quietly.

"I'm not sure, but if I stay with you.., then I'm leading him right to you. We.., we have to break up, it's the only way to spare you." There were tears in his eyes, the very thought of never seeing her again was agonizing.

"I know you still care deeply for me, so it won't work," Tecna advised him, "The only way to separate our life forces is for us to.., fall out of love for each other, to lose all feelings for each other."

"Tecna, you know I could never do that, I want to be with you forever and always, until my last breath.., and even longer if I could." Timmy shook his head in a panic, he couldn't bare to think about a day without her.

"Timmy, you.., you're so sweet.., let's run away together." She suggested excitedly, "I'll just tell Flora and Helia, pack my things and we'll go anywhere in the Magical Dimension."

"Okay, but I have to get you out of here as secretly as possible." Timmy insisted, "If my stepfather knows I'm here, we're both screwed, the last thing I want is for you to get hurt." With his sweet, caring words, she flung her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately, she felt so safe and secure in his embrace.


I was actually planning out this scene when they agree to run away together. Originally I wanted Timmy to be to suggest it, and Tecna being the one to suggest that they break up, but since she knows they love each other enough not to mean it, why would she suggest something that won't work? And I originally had an idea that they actually did separate and Tecna became really ill, but Timmy would be just as sick and wouldn't be able to get to her.
