"1,000 years, you say?" A dark female voice asked as there was one in the throne with three others next to her. "And they completely forgot me."
The three other dark fairies nodded to their sister.
"Well, now, that will never do," The Darkest Fairy smirked. "I suppose I should remedy that. Conquering this fly speck of a kingdom was easy enough, but I need something a little bigger to announce my return."
'This is bad.' Akito thought to himself.
"Oh... I know..." The Darkest Fairy grinned. "I'll destroy it completely! That should get their attention, and I know just the weapon to use to blacken the place! Two birds with one stone."
Akito glared as the Darkest Fairy plotted with her sisters.
"Oh, yes, that would do wonderfully even of our old friend Nightmare Moon refuses to cooperate." The Darkest Fairy continued.
Her sisters nodded in agreement. Tor and Akito glared at the Darkest Fairy before hiding off together.
"We can't let her get away with that." Akito whispered.
Tor nodded. "Not by a long shot."
"We'll first need to take care of her sisters." Akito said.
There was soon a dark mote which broke down the wall around them.
"They don't seem to be under my control," The Darkest Fairy smirked about Akito and Tor. "How unusual... Kill them, but bring me what's left of the bodies when you're done."
"Good luck with that." Akito smirked.
The Darkest Fairy's sisters soon moved out toward Akito and Tor.
"Ready to fight these three?" Akito asked Tor.
"I suppose so." Tor replied, a bit nervous about fighting ladies, then again, these three were evil.
The two of them soon fought the three fairies.
"My father always told me to never hurt a lady, unfortunately you three old hags don't count!" Akito glared.
What Akito called them made the three fairies angry. Akito smirked as they soon charged him and he swung his sword bravely, not afraid to hurt them because they were evil. The three of the evil fairies seemed hard to defeat.
"Man, they're harder than they look!" Tor said to Akito.
Soon enough, the three dark fairies made the furniture levitate with their dark and evil magic.
"Oh, sure, why not?" Akito groaned.
The dinner tables soon flew toward them.'
Akito jumped and dodged them with spins like a secret agent as if he anticipated that. "Still got it." He smirked.
The fairies soon used flame powers against Tor and Akito to burn them alive.
"Seriously?" Akito asked.
One flame shot toward him. Akito took a deep inhale to breathe in the fire before blowing it back with a smirk.
"Whoa, those are some strong lungs." Tor commented.
"Thanks..." Akito said before coughing up some smoke. "Oh! 'Scuse me."
The Darkest Fairy's sisters glared at the knights as they continued to fight, and where the fight seemed like it would go on forever. Akito soon became bored since the Darkest Fairy's sisters refused to quit. Akito and Tor soon stopped fighting and they ran away to another part of the castle to escape them.
"Where do we go?" Akito asked.
"We have to get out of this castle." Tor replied.
"Yeah," Akito replied. "And through the most disgusting part of the castle."
Tor nodded as they had no choice, but they went that way to throw off the Darkest Fairy's sisters and would soon have to leave.
"Here!" A female voice called out. "Over here, young masters!"
Tor and Akito soon looked over to where the voice was. It was a certain yellow acara who led them into a chute for their escape.
"Thanks." Akito said.
"You can escape and warn the others." Faun nodded before they heard a scary moan sound and had to get moving.
Akito and Tor soon started to make their way through. Once they did... SPLASH!
"At least were safe now..." Akito said. "...I hope."
"Same here." Tor added.
The two soon waded into the murky water together. At least now they were safe from the Darkest Fairy and her sisters. The only question was where was Emi?
Fortunately for us, that question was finally going to be answered as we end up elsewhere in a different kingdom where a winged horse was pulling a carriage in the sky to reveal a young acara who was the orphaned niece of the king.
"Where am I?" Emi asked herself. "Where's Akito?" She soon stood up to see where she was.
The carriage soon stopped and a young female acara talked with her adviser as Emi explored.
"This place looks peaceful." Emi said.
"I hate doing these things!" The acara complained to the older Neopet who was with her in the carriage after they left.
The older Neopet was about to say something until they saw Emi. "Who are you, young one?"
Emi blinked and looked around before pointing to herself.
"Yes, you, please, come forward." The older Neopet told the newly engaged Pokemon Princess.
"My name is Princess Emi." The young adult said with a curtsy.
"Princess, huh?" The elder Neopet asked.
"That sounds easier than being a diplomat like I am." The acara sighed softly about her status.
"Can either of you tell me where I am?" Emi asked.
"This is Brightvale," The Acara replied like it was obvious. "This is the Kingdom of my uncle, King Hagan, and I am the diplomat of the kingdom since I'm his niece."
"That's good." Emi smiled.
"I guess so, but I hate doing it," The acara replied. "Oh, I'm sorry, hello, Princess Emi, my name is Roberta."
"Pleased to meet you and you can just call me Emi." Emi smiled.
"Oh... Okay, Emi." Roberta smiled back.
Emi smiled as she seemed to form a bond with Roberta like Akito and Tor.
"So, where are you from then?" Roberta asked. "You don't seem to know Brightvale."
"I'm from Earth." Emi said.
"Ah, a visitor to Neopia," Roberta smiled. "Well, on behalf of my uncle The King, I insist you stay with us until we can find a way to get you back home."
"Thank you; I just hope I can find my husband." Emi said.
"Oh, you seem young to be married, Miss." The elder Gelert chuckled.
"Oh, thank you, but I was just engaged before I ended up here." Emi smiled bashfully.
"Congratulations." Roberta smiled back.
"Thank you." Emi smiled.
They were soon coming to a cloudy environment which made Emi think of Cloudsdale in Equestria, but it was actually Fairy Land of Neopia.
"Amazing." Emi smiled.
"Enjoy it while you can." Roberta sighed since she didn't like her job very much.
"I'll enjoy as much as I can." Emi said.
Roberta sighed as she helped Emi out of the carriage.
"You seem young to be a diplomat." Emi said to Roberta.
"Well, it's my job as the king's niece." Roberta sighed.
"You don't see to like being a diplomat." Emi said.
"Not really..." Roberta sighed. "I mean, you're a princess, it can't be that hard."
"Oh, trust me, it's hard." Emi said.
"Responsibilities of diplomacy and royalty seem to be specially exclusive," The elder Gelert told them. "If they weren't, I would be the diplomat and Roberta would be the sorcerer."
"Wouldn't that make her sorceress?" Emi asked.
"You know what I mean though." The Gelert replied.
"Yes, I do," Emi nodded. "So, what should we do next?"
"Roberta has a very important mission." The older Gelert told her.
"Ooh." Emi smiled.
"Your uncle and I have never seen such clouds that gather over Meridell," The Gerlet told Roberta which made Emi nervous once she saw them. "There are dark things and full of power, our meeting with Queen Fyora must go well, and that responsibility falls to you."
"Yes, sir," Roberta sighed. "I'll do my best."
"Mind if I come?" Emi asked.
"I think that would be most appropriate." The gelert allowed since Roberta and Emi seemed to be becoming friends.
"Great." Emi smiled.
Roberta smiled back as she walked with Emi to enter into Fairy Land together.
"You'll do fine, Roberta," The Gelert encouraged. "If it helps any, maybe I'll teach you more complicated spells while we're here."
"That sounds promising." Emi said.
"Yeah, it sure does!" Roberta agreed.
"Just one or two," The Gelert nodded. "But now, we must hurry. It's getting late and I'm sure Queen Fyora will want to meet with us soon."
"She sounds nice." Emi smiled.
"One of the kinder souls of our world..." The Gelert nodded.
"Who are you anyway, sir?" Emi asked for his name.
"Serader at your service." The Gelert bowed to her.
"Pleased to meet you." Emi curtsied with a smile.
"Likewise, Princess." Seladar bowed back to her.
Roberta smiled as they were going into Fairy Land all together now.
"Akito, where are you?" Emi asked herself as she traveled with her new friends like when Akito ended up in the farm with the Ellis family. "I just hope you're safe."
"Come with me." Roberta told Emi.
"All right, Roberta," Emi nodded as she followed her new friend. "Lead the way."
