There are two post season 4 references to Tecna in this chapter. Let's see who can spot them.


Chapter Seven: Sisters Reunited

Meanwhile, back at the palace of Zenith, Avalon was providing all the people he could with shelter from the electrical storm. It still was raging on in that part of the realm, and the people who didn't take shelter in the palace were safe in their own homes. This act of generosity was just a ploy to get the citizens of Zenith to trust him before he could carry out his scheme to take over.

"What happened, why are you in charge? Where is the princess?" A man asked him.

"She left me in charge, and I must follow her orders." Avalon insisted.

"Though, do you not just realize that the queen that we believed we could trust is an evil menace! This storm is her doing! How do you know if the princess is not working together with her?" The man continued shouting.

"Oh, I have every intention of making sure she isn't." Avalon whispered under his breath, then reassured the man, "you need not worry, Princess Elyssa has left me in command and I have everything under control." By then, it had been a full day since she left the palace, and yet no response from her. Suddenly there was a beeping noise coming from his communicator, at this moment the spell that was over Elyssa had taken full effect once more, and now that she had a lead on where her sister was located, she could tell Avalon exactly where he was hiding.

"Avalon, I have a lead on Tecna's location, she's hiding somewhere on Databridge Mountain." He heard her say over his communicator.

"Brilliant Elyssa, great work. I'll be sending my men to follow you, then when your sister thinks she's safe with you, we'll trap her." Avalon told her, "this uncontrollable takeover of technology will end, I will make sure of that."


A little while after she ended the communication with Avalon, she snapped out of her trance, realizing that she had made a huge mistake.

"Elyssa, come on, we're almost to the mountain!" Timmy called to her.

"Great, we need to get to Tecna really fast." She began, "I put her in great danger." It didn't take long for them to reach Databridge Mountain, and there, in front of it stood a magnificent palace made of metal and steel.

"Tecna's in there." Digit told them, "what's your plan Elyssa."

"I'm going to confess to her that I was wrong about Avalon, I'm going to tell her everything and try to get her back to the kingdom without being seen." Elyssa told them.

"So you admit that you were wrong! Avalon is trying to manipulate you!" Timmy shouted in disbelief.

"Trying, and succeeding." Elyssa sighed regretfully, " but now is not the time to discuss this, I put Tecna in terrible danger and I need to protect her from getting into Avalon's clutches." She turned around and headed up the tall, winding staircase up to the door, and then she hesitated. She really screwed up this time, she allowed herself to fall under an evil spell and in turn, caused her sister to finally lose control of all her emotions and make her appear as a threat to everyone. Elyssa believed she ruined everything, what would Tecna say if she found out? Would she hate her, and never forgive her for letting Avalon take over Zenith? This made Elyssa hesitate even more to open the door. Though she did it anyway, slowly and surely.

"Whoa, it's a palace made entirely out of steel and metal, and look at all these devices she's invented for herself.., I might just take you up on that offer to be set up with her." Timmy gasped in amazement, gazing around the room.

"Now is not a good time, Timmy, as soon as this is all over, then we can plan something. In the meantime it's best if I go in alone, it'll make it more comfortable for her."

"But she is a technology goddess!" Timmy protested, not fully aware of what just came out of his mouth, "meeting her would make all my fantasies come true."

"And I'll make sure you do, later." Elyssa insisted, "I just.., need to do this first, it's way too important. Her life is in danger." At those words, all Timmy could do was gasp in horror, leaving her to do what she needed to do. As she walked into the entrance room to the palace, she saw a fountain in the center, and instead of water coming from its spouts, bolts of electricity shot out. The room itself was huge, and it was incredible to know that Tecna created this all herself.

"Tecna, please come out," Elyssa began hesitantly, "it's me, your sister Elyssa!" Long moments passed, and Tecna emerged from the top of the staircase, in a stunning gown that flowed down past her feet as she walked. On her head she wore a luminescent tiara.

"Hello Elyssa..." She began shyly.

"Tecna, you look absolutely gorgeous, and your palace is so amazing!" Elyssa told her with complete surprise.

"Thank you," she replied softly, "I didn't know I could do this, I didn't know I had so much potential."

"Tecna.., I'm so sorry for upsetting you, it was a huge mistake and I never meant for this to happen." Her sister began.

"No, no need for apologies," Tecna told her sincerely, "but for your safety and the safety of all the people of Zenith.., it's best if you leave. It's better for me to be alone."

"Don't think that way, you're not dangerous at all, you were just scared." Elyssa encouraged her older sister, "look what you've made when you're happy, you shouldn't hide your talents from the world!"

"Elyssa you belong back in the kingdom of Zenith, I belong here, in isolation, where the last thing I want to do is hurt you." She finally admitted sadly. Suddenly Digit followed Elyssa back into Tecna's palace.

"Tecna, is she bothering you too much? I can escort her out." She offered, "my name is Digit, and I tried to convince her not to disturb you."

"No, it's okay Digit, she's not bothering me at all." Tecna assured her softly.

"Don't you remember Digit, she's the robot I helped you make when we were kids." Elyssa asked, "We were so close once, I promise we can be that way again, you don't have to be afraid Tecna."

"Digit...," Tecna gasped, having a horrible flashback of the night she accidentally hurt Elyssa with her powers, and as she snapped out of it, she immediately turned away in protest, "no, I can't.., I just want to protect you.., from myself."

"Tecna, you don't need to protect me.., if anything I need to protect you!" Elyssa confessed, "I've made the hugest mistake, you were right. Avalon brainwashed me, and now he is using me as bait to get to you. While I was under his spell, I gave him the idea to get you to trust me and bring you back to Zenith so that he can take you hostage! I'm so sorry, if you come back with me hopefully we can get back before they spot you.., I was under the spell again and I.., told Avalon where you were hiding. I need to get you out of here!"

"What?" All this information was too much for Tecna to take in all at once, someone was after her now that her powers were revealed, "but everyone in Zenith thinks I'm a monster, they're not going to want me back. I wouldn't be surprised if they all wanted me locked up. It's the story of my life. So it may be best if I stay here Elyssa, I know you have good intentions but I can defend myself."

"Tecna please, I can help you restore Zenith, when you ran away, everything you touched turned to metal, the place is surrounded by a terrible lightning storm!"

"I knew it!" Tecna finally shouted, "Don't try and convince me that I'm not dangerous, I've left Zenith in a state of destruction, I've put people's lives at risk!"

"We can fix everything, I'll be by your side the whole time, you and me.., together." Her younger sister promised, hoping her words of encouragement would get her to change her mind, unfortunately it only panicked the queen of technology even more.

"I don't know how, Elyssa, I don't know how to reverse my magic, even if I wanted to! Just leave, I don't want to do more damage than I've already have."

"I believe in you.., you said so yourself, you have so much potential, I promised I'd be by your side every step of the way. You got to trust me." Elyssa begged.

"Listen, thanks to me, Zenith is in an eternal electric storm, no one wants to trust me and would probably be more than happy to appoint Avalon as king and have me locked away for good! All your encouragement is just making it worse! Just leave, all right!" Tecna shouted.

"Tecna, don't do this to yourself, the last thing you should be is alone! The only reason you feel you need to isolate yourself is to keep your powers under control, but I know for a fact that you don't like being alone!" Elyssa yelled back over that the buzz of the electricity forming in the sky above the palace thanks to Tecna's fears. The more Tecna realized this, the more fear surfaced, building up the storm around her.

"Enough!" She screamed, turning around and shooting bolts of electric energy toward her sister. Once she realized what she was doing, she backed off, clasping her hands, "See what you made me do? The last thing I ever want to do is hurt you Elyssa!" Tears streamed from Tecna's eyes as she knew that she was doing more harm than good. All the commotion got Timmy's attention, and he ran up the stairs to see what was going on.

"What's happening in here, is everything okay?" He asked, only to stand stunned when he saw the beautiful vision before him.

"Who is he?" Tecna inquired, "You know what, never mind! All of you, just go!"

"Not without you!" Elyssa protest fiercely.

"Fine, if you won't go on your own, then you leave me no choice." Tecna suddenly used her magic to create a gigantic guard robot, who grabbed both Elyssa and Timmy, throwing them out of her palace.

"I really hated to do that Elyssa.., but this is for the good of Zenith." Tecna sighed, "this is because I don't want to hurt anyone more than I already have."
