Chapter 10: Setting Things Right
Rebecca quickly put the Reality Gauntlet on her right arm and activated the gems in the order that would allow her to put time back the way it should be.
The three gems glowed brightly as the Gauntlet activated and Rebecca turned to both Plasmius and Pariah Dark. "You had no right to alter reality and time," she said to them, her face unreadable. "Now, you will never return here or bother anyone again."
Plasmius laughed. "You may have the Gauntlet, but you don't know how to use it," he said with a mad chuckle.
To his surprise, Rebecca smiled slyly. "Is that so?" she asked in a voice that sounded neutral, but dangerous. "Then I believe I should test it, just to be sure."
The Reality Gauntlet glowed purple as Rebecca aimed it towards the two evil ghosts, still smiling in a way that was now scaring them and the others present. Suddenly, she made a portal appear to the Dark Realms, a place where no ghost returned from, and shoved both Plasmius and Pariah Dark into the portal with a shockwave blast that was no doubt her most powerful.
"Pariah Dark! Plasmius!" Rebecca said in a loud voice that echoed as the two evil ghosts tried to fight back, but were blown back and pulled into the portal. "You both are banished to the Dark Realms forever!"
Screams of horror left Plasmius while Pariah Dark cursed angrily and glared at Rebecca, who glared back. "My father is Clockwork," she growled out before sending another blast at them, sending them through the portal which vanished afterwards, trapping the two in there forever.
Rebecca now raised the Reality Gauntlet and closed her eyes. Her fists clenched as she felt time and reality being to shift around her and she opened her eyes, making sure that her uncle Nocturne found Aunt Amelia and Cousin Emma and that her father found Phantina and Clocktina. She then made time slow down by inserting her Clockwork key into the Gauntlet with her left hand and letting her hand glow purple as the purple energy was conducted through her key into the Gauntlet.
The three gems, including the gem that activated the Gauntlet, fell off and the Gauntlet was sparking, making Rebecca take it off and pull out her necklace just as the weapon exploded.
She then took the four gems and with a strong shockwave blast, destroyed the four gems, making sure no one would ever use the Reality Gauntlet again and mess up time.
Only the Time Family could do that.
Now, Rebecca realized, it was over. Suddenly feeling her energy leave her, she fell forward, feeling someone catch her, but before she could see who, her head slumped to one side and she fell fast asleep.
The Observant, who had stayed in the Clocktower to watch the battle, now nodded. "Well done, Rebecca," he said, a note of fondness in his voice. "You have faced a great challenge and have proven the revenge never heals, something your enemies won't realize. But time has definitely healed you and, along with your family, has helped you grow into the halfa you are today."
The Observant continued to watch the time steam, now filled with both pride and relief that all was now right with time and reality.
Time and reality are finally where they should be. And who is that mysterious Observant? His identity will be revealed in the next chapter.
Also, there is only two chapters left in this story. :'( I was having so much fun with it, but never fear, the next two chapters will be good! Also, I got a bit of inspiration from the movie "The Pagemaster" (which I don't own) for this chapter.
Please leave a review, but no flames!
