Super Bonnie and Pixie Hollow Chapter Nine
Octagon was safely nestled among some leaves and flowers, keeping a careful eye on Kyto. The scenery around him was quite beautiful, with all the fauna and flora showing their colors while dancing in the wind. Sadly, not very far away, lay the results of warfare: dead Fairies and Wasps, a slightly burnt Home Tree and all manner of shops and craft houses wrecked or burnt down. The cause of all that was far above, a selfish evil Dragon named Kyto, who never cared for anything but himself. Yensid the Evil was the same way. He will get what is coming to him eventually. Then, echoing from the outcrop was Kyto's battle cry. Octagon immediately transmitted the alarm to Hexagon, and then he shot back to the Home Tree as fast as he could. He arrived in time to prepare for the final battle alongside Hexagon, Heptagon and Queen Clarion. Hexagon had already relayed a distress signal to Modvault, but Bonnie was not able to immediately respond.
After Bonnie massacred every Wasp swarm, she suffered another dizzy spell and started to collapse. Fortunately, Bonnie was coherent enough to fall with her arms extended outward, stopping her forward fall. Remember, Modvault and the Light talent Fairies were still in Bonnie's chest pockets! Bonnie was able to land on her right side, and then settle onto her back. The Light talent Fairies, along with Modvault, received quite a scare! The Indian Braves rushed forward to help Bonnie. Father picked Bonnie up and ran toward the Home Tree, in order to get Bonnie into some shade. The other Braves shared their food and water with her. Vidia, seeing what happened, flew up to see if she could help. Modvault did a quick checkout of Bonnie and quickly learned she had not yet fully recovered from Yensid's enchanted powder. Vidia remembered that Fairy Florence had once given Bonnie a medication for this same condition, so Modvault sent her to the Indian wigwam to get Fairy Florence. Now that Kyto was threatening the Home Tree again, this was a really bad time for Bonnie to get sick! Vidia flew really, really fast!
The Sparrow man Army and the Home Tree Fairies teamed up to deal with the remaining Wasps. After a final bloody battle, the remnant of the Giant Wasp Army retreated across Summer Glade, back to their staging area. The Fairies and Sparrow men let them go. It was too dangerous to pursue them because a number of hawks were seen flying around. Also, Kyto had begun his second attack on the Home Tree. The four Ministers decided to try and help Queen Clarion and the others, so they rallied the Sparrow man Army and the Home Tree Fairies together, then they all flew up to do battle against Kyto. Modvault the Elder realized it was up to Iridessa and Fairy Florence to look after Bonnie now, so he asked three of the Light talent Fairies to help fly him to the top of the Home Tree. They did so. Modvault arrived in time to witness the savage battle raging against Kyto. Modvault flew the short distance to join his Sparrow men and everyone battled Kyto together. The Indian Braves could do nothing to help them, so they stayed to help any way they could. Unless Bonnie could recover soon, this fight against a fire breathing Never land Dragon was hopeless.
Kyto was having a lot of fun; this little fight was splendid! Little Fairies and Sparrow men were stabbing and poking him, when they could catch him! Kyto flew and maneuvered in the air, blowing the little annoying Fairies around with his wing beats. The Anti Sorcery talents and Queen Clarion were giving him a worse time, but Kyto shot back as good as he received. The occasional blast of terrible blue fire sent the little Things scurrying away in fear. Kyto could have ended this fight early on, but he didn't want to harm the Home Tree. Besides, why exterminate Fairies when they are such a delicious food source! Once they are driven from the Home Tree, they would still survive. New fairies would still arrive in Pixie Hollow and need pixie dust to birth them, but that was all right, plenty of pixie dust to go around, as long as Kyto controlled it. Kyto just kept flying, bobbing around, blowing Fairies away with his wings, sneaking back and forth, blasting the Anti-Sorcery talents with his fireballs after they occasionally struck him with their pathetic Pixie Dust Magic. Ho hum, such fun.
Kyto may have been having fun, but Queen Clarion and the Anti-Sorcery talents were really having a rotten time of it. The enchanted Pixie Dust Shields from their wands was giving them protection, but Kyto's fireballs were still singing and burning their clothes, and now starting to burn them. All the Fairies could see that Kyto was not really trying very hard, which made the Fairies hate him even more. Some Fairies were injured by Kyto's wings and could no longer fly. Most of the injured were just able to land in safety, however some had to be rescued as they fell. Fairy wings are very delicate things, most of them might heal, but some may not heal at all. Why is Kyto so cruel anyway! He seems to like crippling Fairies over killing them! Where is Bonnie? Is she all right? Does she even care about Fairies any more?
Suddenly, a loud, angry human voice thundered throughout the Home Tree area: "You stupid dragon-lizard, where are you, you big coward! Come and fight someone your own size, you lizard low-life, its payback time! Stay and watch my Fairies, this fight is just getting started! Fly with me my Fairies, and see Pixie Hollow avenged!"
Queen Clarion could not believe her ears! Bonnie spoke with excellent Fairy manners and with the same affection that Clarion would use herself! How was it possible that Bonnie could learn such a thing? Practically every Fairy in Pixie Hollow also heard that, and was very pleased by it. Even Minister Spring cracked a smile! Bonnie's voice was loud enough to catch Kyto's attention as well. Kyto was offended by that challenge, so he flew around to see who would dare speak to him that way. He just had time to notice a full size human Bonnie Rockwaller, terribly aflame with Pink Energy Crystal power, taking aim at him, before a terrible telekinetic laser burst blasted him backwards, crashing him into a rocky hillside a short distance away from Pixie Hollow! The Fairies began to cheer!
Kyto could have simply left the area of Pixie Hollow altogether and lived his life as he wished, but his arrogance would not allow that. Apparently this Bonnie human was cured from Yensid's influence and cured from his enchanted powder. Modvault's work no doubt. So the human girl is far more powerful now, is she? Well, Kyto can be far more powerful also! Kyto instantly shot into the air, with the power of wind itself coming from his wings and flew back to the Home Tree to battle and destroy! Bonnie saw his return from a distance, turned and ran out from the Home Tree area with all the speed she could muster. Once clear, Bonnie raced toward Winter Woods, literally vaulting over every path and garden in her way. Kyto saw her run, and thinking she was running from him, now began a screeching dive from high up, thinking that the sound would instill fear in Bonnie. Well, once Bonnie heard Kyto diving at her, she stopped in her tracks, spun around, aimed, and then fired another telekinetic laser burst, bashing Kyto right in the face! The force of that impact brought Kyto to a complete stop in midair. Kyto began to fall, out of control, toward the ground. Bonnie then continued running the short (for a human) remaining distance into Winter Woods, where she finally stood her ground, defiantly blazing bright pink against the white snow. 'Come and get me coward,' she seemed to be saying.
Kyto did manage to recover before hitting the ground. He now flapped his powerful wings and shot back into the air with the power of a rocket. He circled wide, but Bonnie was not hard to see, blazing bright pink against the snow the way she was. If that girl is insane, she will soon pay for it! Kyto circled in the air for a short time, priming his flame system for a full temperature burst. Focused properly, it could cut through steel! Kyto circled some more, slowly closing in on Bonnie, and inhaled deeply. Bonnie was able to hear Kyto inhale. Suspecting what was coming next, Bonnie fell to her knees, rolled onto her back, covered her face using her arms, pulled her knees to her chest, then deployed her shield around her, using all the power she could gather from the bright sun. Kyto hovered low, then unleashed his full temperature burst at Bonnie, a searing deep blue fire crashing right against Bonnie's shield. It was hot enough to vaporize all the snow around Bonnie for a thirty-yard radius around her. The fire was also hot enough to melt and heat up the frozen mud under Bonnie. After Kyto ran out of flame, he soared back into the air and circled overhead, confident that he had destroyed Bonnie. As large as full size humans were, even they could not survive a mighty blast like that! Kyto is a monster compared to Fairies, but compared to a human, Kyto is about the size of a very large horse.
The Fairies who were able, along with a few of the Braves, were watching this battle from a safe distance, at the edge of Winter Woods. They were able to plainly see the circle of exposed earth around where Bonnie was standing, but they could not see Bonnie! The Fairies kept straining to see if Bonnie would stand up. The seconds ticked by. Kyto was still circling overhead, carefully watching also. More seconds ticked by. Still nothing. A minute went by. Still nothing. The Fairies now began to moan in sorrow, it looked like Kyto had indeed won.
Kyto roared with arrogant laughter while still circling low. Not only did he succeed in killing Bonnie, but he also buried her deep in the mud! Soon, Kyto began to slowly head toward all the Fairies who were watching. Now it was time to show them who was boss! Suddenly, a telekinetic laser burst shot out from where Bonnie was. It wasn't as powerful as before, but it was an accurate shot right on Kyto's 'petunia', where there was no protection! Screeching in terrible pain, Kyto lurched upwards, violently flapping his wings at the same time, and launched himself almost up to the clouds! Kyto was still screeching in agonizing pain as he was racing around at high altitude, seemingly out of control, with a big wisp of smoke coming from his tail! The Fairies who were watching, were laughing so hard, they could no longer hover! The Braves also were laughing over the fact that Kyto had been given his due!
Bonnie however, was hurt by Kyto's blast. Her shield held against the flame, but the shield also placed Bonnie inside an oven. Bonnie's clothes were singed, and she had some first-degree burns on her arms, knees and stomach. Even her hair was burnt. The reason why Bonnie disappeared was that Kyto's fire had melted the permafrost beneath her. Bonnie sank into what became a warm mud bath, providing her with camouflage. Bonnie had just enough time to drag herself partway out of the mud bath and blast Kyto before he could reach the Fairies. Now that Kyto was out of the way, Bonnie pulled herself completely out from the mud, walked onto some fresh snow, sat down and began to soothe her painful burns. Bonnie also collected lots of clean snow with her power, melted it and drank a lot of water. Bonnie looked up to watch Kyto flying around, but she wasn't smiling. Bonnie knew that the next time Kyto attacked, he wouldn't be so careless. Bonnie also realized that Kyto was more dangerous then she thought. Bonnie rolled onto her stomach, wanting to soothe her arm and knee burns again and trying to plan another tactic.
Kyto stayed at high altitude until he was calm enough to think. His 'petunia' wound was not hurting as much now, because it was already starting to heal up. What was hurting a lot was Kyto's pride. He had just been badly humiliated in front of those Fairies, and that human girl was responsible. She will pay dearly for that! Kyto now began to descend towards Bonnie. He soon saw her lying in the snow on her stomach, apparently injured. Kyto slowly descended further, still watching Bonnie. Eventually, Kyto landed about twenty yards from Bonnie, and walked towards her. Now, the Fairies were not laughing, they were horrified. Bonnie was down on the ground, and there was nothing they could do for her. Neither could the Braves do anything. They had no fire protection at all and none of the proper weapons to fight with.
"You have fought well, Bonnie human." Kyto called out, as he walked closer, "Yensid the Evil was wise to try to capture you. You were truly a lovely thing of devastating power, but you must now pay for your insolence."
Bonnie just looked at him and responded: "Come and get me, coward." Unknown to Kyto, Bonnie was absorbing sunlight and realigning her powers.
"Yes, indeed I shall, however I will give you two choices on how you will die. You can die quickly by fire, or you can be devoured alive. I must make a dramatic example out of you, so that Pixie Hollow shall learn who is their master."
"The master of Pixie Hollow is Queen Clarion and her Fairies, coward."
"No longer my dear Bonnie. Now choose the manner of your death."
"I choose death by fire, coward, if you can indeed manage it!"
Without saying another word, Kyto crouched low, than began to inhale deeply. Instantly, Bonnie fired her telekinetic laser straight down Kyto's throat, deploying her shield at the same time. Bonnie's laser did exactly as she hoped, the laser shot straight toward one of Kyto's fuel bladders, rupturing it and exposing fuel to large lungs filling with fresh air. Kyto's throat exploded into a massive fireball from the inside out. Kyto reared backwards with a horrid screech, wildfire blazing out of his mouth and nostrils, and moved backwards for a short distance, still screeching from the pain inside his throat. Now furious, Kyto lunged forward and snapped Bonnie into his powerful jaws, however, they closed in around Bonnie's shield. Now that Kyto's mouth was wedged open, Bonnie fired another more powerful laser burst down Kyto's throat. This one ruptured a second fuel bladder, and tore into Kyto's chest and stomach. Kyto's belly burst like a huge overfilled balloon, blasting fire, and his own stomach parts, some yards away. Enraged, Kyto thrashed about for a little while, screeching and kicking like a horse, as he tried to crush Bonnie with his powerful jaws. Bonnie shield held however. Soon, Kyto collapsed to the snow covered ground, never to rise again. Bonnie kept herself wedged in Kyto's mouth for a little while longer, until she was certain Kyto was dead, and then she pushed the jaws open wider and jumped free.
Bonnie had fought the dreaded Kyto for Pixie Hollow and she had won. Bonnie watched Kyto's body smoke and burn for a short time, grateful for her victory, but still a little sad over all the death and destruction that happened today in Pixie Hollow. There was one last villain to punish, Yensid the Evil, who had enslaved her and made her destroy so much of Havendish Stream. Bonnie quietly walked toward the Fairies and Braves, as they all ran toward her. The Braves were the first to shout chants of victory, as Father and another Brave hoisted Bonnie on their shoulders. Fairies of every description were flying around Bonnie, Vidia, Rosetta, Silvermist, Iridessa and her Team, Fawn, Tinker Bell, and almost every other Fairy who could still fly were hugging and kissing her cheeks with joy; who cared that Bonnie was still all muddy and dirty, it wasn't the first time! Back at the Home Tree Area, Queen Clarion and the Anti-Sorcery talents were hugging and dancing each other and with all the Fairies who were grounded now. The Fast Flyers had transmitted the battle, and the news of victory, back to Queen Clarion's orb. Pollen and Meadow-wisp, two of the Fast Flyers, brought the good news of victory to the Indian wigwam.
The Braves carried Bonnie all the way to the Home Tree. Once there, Bonnie sat down next to the Home Tree, and was hugged and kissed some more! After all that was done, all four of the Ministers, and Queen Clarion, floated over to Bonnie and expressed their gratitude to her. Queen Clarion floated over to Bonnie first. Every other Fairy soon went silent to listen.
"Well Bonnie, on behalf of all Pixie Hollow, I wish to thank you for what you have done for us. Kyto, long a deadly enemy of the Fairies shall never again slay and eat us, as he has done for eons, it seams."
"Fly with you Your Highness." Bonnie answered. "I was glad I was able to help. I would fly backwards if I could over all the damage I did to your water area, but I will help repair what I can."
Queen Clarion smiled at Bonnie for a moment, then decided to have some fun.
"Bonnie, every time I see you, you are all dusty and dirty! I shall have to speak to Rosetta about that, but for now, I shall have to clean you off myself!"
Queen Clarion now flared her Pixie Dust magic, and then threw a great many large puffs at Bonnie's face, hair, neck and clothing. The pixie dust saturated and covered Bonnie, tickling her as it cleaned her off, all over her body. Soon, Bonnie was cleaned up completely, up, down and all around, looking a great deal better! Now, the Ministers came closer to Bonnie, exchanged greetings with her and spoke with Bonnie for a while. Minister Spring was the last, but he spoke with Bonnie also, much more friendly than before. Soon, along came Modvault the Elder.
"Fly with you Bonnie," Modvault began, "I trust you have enjoyed your adventures in Pixie Hollow?"
"Fly with you Fairy Modvault. I enjoyed everything actually, except for when I was captured. I remember everything, but it was like I was trapped in a deep, dark cage inside my own mind, going along for the ride, while Yensid the Evil was steering me like a horse. Thank you for rescuing me out of that."
"You are much welcome. I had some doubt that it was possible, but all is well once again."
"Were you able to capture Yensid the Evil, Fairy Modvault?"
"Yes. Rhombus and Rainbow defeated him earlier this morning. After you destroyed the Wasps, Yensid was taken to my lair where he is being held. Tomorrow, he shall face justice before Queen Clarion and the Ministers."
Bonnie nodded, then looked around the Home Tree area. Most of the shops were all damaged or destroyed and much of the plant life was wrecked. The Braves had separated the dead Fairies from the dead Wasps and then moved them out of the immediate area.
Bonnie visited with the Fairies for a while longer, and then she was taken to the Indian Village. Bonnie met with and dined with Queen Tiger Lilly, then was given lodging for the night at the wigwam, with the Healing talents and the wounded Fairies. Before going to bed however, Bonnie did something quite strange. There was a small cliff overlooking the sea in the Indian Village. Bonnie had walked over to it along with young Flying Arrow, and faced out toward the west. Bonnie then powered up and fired her laser towards the western sky, pulsing it with a strange varied pattern. Far, far out over the western sky, there appeared very tiny pink starbursts, flashing with the same pattern Bonnie had fired with. Bonnie did this for almost two hours.
"Why did you do that Bonnie?" Flying Arrow asked.
"I am trying to call a friend of mine." Bonnie answered. "If he comes, he will be able to take me home."
Tomorrow, there would be a lot of sad work to do.
The next day, Bonnie was up at sunrise, having breakfast with Fairy Florence and the Healing talents. After breakfast, it was time to have some quality time with all the Fairies in the wigwam. After an hour's time, Viola arrived to summon Bonnie before Queen Clarion.
"Bonnie, Queen Clarion awaits."
Bonnie then turned toward Fairy Florence: "Fairy Florence, is there anything I could carry back to the Home Tree with me?" Bonnie asked.
"Yes Bonnie. Could you please carry this very large (for Fairies) chest back for me, please? Place it near the Hospital entrance. We will deal with it later."
Bonnie picked up the chest, placed it on her left shoulder, and carried it back to Pixie Hollow, having some conversation with Viola along the way. Viola was curious why Bonnie was working while answering a summons. Normally, that is not done in Pixie Hollow.
"It is good human manners to offer to help, Viola." Bonnie answered. "Queen Clarion is at the Home Tree, and the Hospital is on the way, so I will drop off the chest just before my summons."
Soon Viola and Bonnie arrived at the hospital door. Bonnie placed the chest at the door, and then followed Viola around to the area where Queen Clarion, the Ministers and many other Fairies were gathering. This area was normally where new Fairies arrived, however, because Kyto had destroyed the Council Chamber, this was the only area large enough to use now. Bonnie was not able to climb to the meeting area, so Queen Clarion had Terence and twenty Sparrow men pour pixie dust on Bonnie's robe, then lift her into her place alongside the other Fairies. Bonnie had to sit on a large branch, facing Clarion, the Ministers and most of the other Fairies. Bonnie smiled at Queen Clarion and began to greet her, but Rosetta raced up to Bonnie and motioned for her to be quiet for the moment. Rosetta then moved onto Bonnie's shoulder and sat down next to Bonnie's ear.
"I'll explain later darling." Rosetta whispered.
Minister Spring realized that Bonnie knew nothing about Pixie Hollow Court etiquette, so he had Viola, Rosetta, Iridessa, Vidia and Slivermist stand by case, which was a good thing! Soon, Modvault the Elder and the Anti-Sorcery talents arrived, escorted by a procession of Sparrow man soldiers. The Anti-Sorcery talents were carrying an enchanted cage, inside of which was Yensid the Evil. Bonnie, upon seeing him, flushed with anger and began to power up. Pink lightning bolts began flashing from her eyes and fingernails. Rosetta instantly pleaded for Bonnie to calm down, while Viola, Iridessa, Vidia and Slivermist raced forward in front of Bonnie's face, waving for her to do nothing. Not wanting to risk harming them, Bonnie inhaled deeply, then powered down, with her fists over her mouth. Even so, it was plain Bonnie was very angry. Bonnie soon realized that this was the Fairies version of a court trial, intended to dispense orderly justice.
Queen Clarion now arose, and called the Court to silence, with a tap of her staff in the floor. She then began, with obvious anger in her own voice. According to Court law, Clarion could not give any testimony against Yensid, although she desperately wanted to.
"Yensid the Evil, I am Queen Clarion, successor to the Queens Charity and Hope. You stand accused of multiple crimes against Pixie Hollow and of the murder of your fellow Fairies. In accordance with the ancient Trial Laws, of which you yourself are highly knowledgeable, you shall be allowed opportunity to defend your actions, answer your Court Accusers, and present Contra-Accusers in your favor. Mistress Summer shall now read the list of the Court Accusers."
"Queen Clarion," Mistress Summer began, "the Court Accusers are as follows: Modvault the Elder, who also represents the deceased witnesses Decagon, Nonagon and Pentagon. Hexagon. Rhombus, who also represents the injured witness Polygon. Rainbow. Iridessa. Vidia. Silvermist. Fawn, who also represents the deceased witness Blast. Bonnie.
"A point of objection, Queen Clarion." Yensid the Evil responded. "The human girl Bonnie is not of Pixie Hollow. She is a stranger and has no legal standing here."
"Objection is noted," Queen Clarion answered, "however the Court will reserve the option of addressing Bonnie if it deems necessary. Yensid shall have the same option. Who among us is the Contra-Accuser in favor in Yensid?"
No one spoke up to defend Yensid. The trial proceeded, as witness after witness testified on what they saw Yensid do or what happened as a result of his schemes. Yensid was left to himself to explain why he acted the way he did, years ago and over the last four days. Yensid was left to himself to explain why he felt it necessary to enlist Kyto and the Giant Wasps in a bloody attack on Pixie Hollow, costing the lives of so many Fairies once again. Yensid was left to himself to explain why he felt he must rule Pixie Hollow when the right was not his by law. In the end there was no excuse for what Yensid the Evil had done to Pixie Hollow. Queen Clarion had sworn to see that Queens Charity and Hope were avenged, so with the agreement of everyone present, Queen Clarion passed the death sentence on Yensid. The death sentence would be carried out immediately, at the far end of Summer Glade, and then Yensid's body would be discarded deep into the woods beyond. Never again would Yensid the Evil return to plague Pixie Hollow.
