Anti-Rose floated there in complete shock. Not only was Foop in complete control of the anti-fairies but he had creamed Anti-Cosmo. The former commander crawled out of the rubble, a tiny smirk of pride on his lips. Anti-Rose flew over to him in worry.

"Are you okay AC?" Anti-Rose asked, picking him up in her arms.

"Yes...I am fine..." AC answered, a bit weakly.

"How did you manage to get so strong in Abacatraz?" Anti-Rose questioned.

AC snickered a bit, lifting up his shirt a tad. It was enough for Anti-Rose to see a medallion. It was often used to project almost-real holograms. Anti-Rose was impressed as Foop saw this too.

"Y - you were never here after all..." Foop breathed.

"Someone had to scare you straight." AC stated, his hologram fading.

"Scare me straight...?" Foop repeated, a bit in shock.

"You are our only hope to bring out the other anti-fairies. They never listened to me nor your brother when we were in charge." AC admitted.

"You mean the rogue anti-fairies?" Anti-Rose asked, shocked.

"The very same." AC answered. "The live on the very outskirts of the castle. They only reveal themselves to the anti-fairy commander that has the skull."

Foop looked confused as Anti-Rose pointed at his shirt. Foop looked down on his shirt and saw the skull.

"Sounds really good to me. We need an army if we are to take out Turner's old allies." Foop told them.

"Should be easy, most of them are taking themselves out now." Anti-Rose pointed out.

"A word of warning." AC stated to them. "If you do not be cautious of the ancient fairy dust, then you will fail."

With that, AC's hologram faded away. Foop looked confused as did Anti-Rose. What did he mean by that?

...

Back in Abacatraz, AC gasped as the medallion faded away. He groveled to the ground, gaining Anti-Wanda's attention.

Her hair had changed into gray, her bucked teeth had all but broken, tired dark pink eyes, wearing a dark pink hole filled short sleeved shirt, black torn jeans, black sneakers, a tarnished black crown and broken bat wings. AC no longer had his wand as he saw his wife holding him.

"Anti-Cozzie, are ya alright?" Anti-Wanda asked in worry.

"Yes...I'll be alright..." AC weakly lied.

Anti-Wanda sighed a bit, stroking his hair softly. AC looked into her eyes for the first time in weeks. The love for him was still there and darker than ever before. He now knew why she gave up her fight so long ago.

Foop was going to be their saving grace. Anti-Cosmo placed his hand on Anti-Wanda's cheek. She blushed darkly, looking into his eyes. She wondered, 'When... Are they a dark green?'

AC slowly leaned in for a kiss. A kiss Anti-Wanda delightfully returned.

...

Back at the castle, Foop and Anti-Rose started to head to the outskirts of Anti-Fairy World. They had taken a good amount of supplies: three days worth of food and water, a flashlight, and a map. They knew the journey would be a long one but it would be worth it if they found the rogue anti-fairies. They had just entered the desert part of Anti-Fairy World.

Foop was the one to break the ice and asked, "So...you weren't afraid of summoning the Darkness back there?"

Anti-Rose answered, plainly, "I am not afraid of anything."

Foop smirked darkly as he stated, "Are you sure? Pretty sure you gulped back there seeing me in charge."

Anti-Rose glared at him stating, "I don't do scared."

Foop mocked, "Oh, you were so scared." That's when he felt her hand on his shirt. She pulled him close, making him blush. He was about to kiss her when she threw him into a cactus nearby. He muttered in pain, "Ow..."

He pulled himself out of the cactus, his tongue (and the rest of his body) covered in needles.

Anti-Rose commented, "Like I said, I don't do scared. Now come on. We have to get back before Homecoming on Saturday. And today's Monday."

Foop floated towards her, pricking off every needle. He had to admit, she was feisty. That's why he liked her. He was about to kiss her but realized that was a bad idea since he was still covered in needles.

...

The very next day, Anti-Sparky woke up in the kennel part of Abacatraz. He hadn't changed too much over the years except his hair was falling out and the mohawk on his head was almost gone.

He yawned a bit, rubbing his eyes and complained, "Hey, where is my food?"

"It's coming, don't be huffy." An older Turbo Thunder huffed.

Turbo Thunder had grown a goatee over the years and his blue eyes were drained. He was still very muscular and often wore a baby blue hoodie with torn blue jeans. His boots were blue and he wore the Wonder World logo around his neck with pride.

"Ugh...whatever you say Puppy Longstockings." Anti-Sparky stated, rolling his eyes.

"My name is Turbo Thunder! Remember that!" Turbo huffed.

"Yeah yeah yeah, tell it to someone who cares Pippy Freakstorm." Anti-Sparky replied.

Turbo was starting to get upset and was about to yell when a bionic metal hand flicked him on the nose. Anti-Sparky started to laugh as behind Turbo was an older Nina Cortex.

Her brown hair was now shoulder length, brown eyes, yellow skin, bionic metal hands, wearing a purple long sleeved blouse with a lace trim, black beaded jeans, and black sneakers.

"Why did you have to go and do that Nina?!" Turbo complained, holding his nose.

"I wouldn't have to if you learned how to control your temper." Nina warned sharply.

"I'm still older than you!" Turbo growled a bit.

"And yet I can totally beat you with one bionic hand tied behind my back." Nina stated.

To that, Anti-Sparky laughed as he told Turbo, "Ha! She got you there!"

Nina got Anti-Sparky his food and turned to Turbo. He had stopped holding his nose for the time being.

She asked him, "Have you seen my Mom? Uncle hasn't heard anything from her since yesterday afternoon."

Turbo answered, "No, not really."

Hearing that, Nina sighed a bit in worry. Sure, she knew her Mom could take care of herself but she didn't want to loose her again.
