-Telepathy-

(Thoughts)

Chapter 10

The five of them arrived in the main chamber of the lair, where all of the other fairies were waiting.

"How do we get out of here?" Timmy asked.

"Cosmo and I flew in from a hole in the ceiling," Anti-Cosmo answered. "But that won't do us much good now I'm afraid."

"There has to be some other way out," Wanda said.

Anti-Wanda moaned and opened her eyes. "What's going on?" she rasped.

"Anti-Wanda!" Anti-Cosmo exclaimed. "We're trying to find a way out my dear, but we seem to be stuck."

"I can stand on my own," Anti-Wanda insisted. Anti-Cosmo reluctantly put her down. She looked around, noticing Cosmo. "Wow, you're more beat up then I am."

Cosmo didn't reply. He did sway where he stood and fell to his knees. He was loosing too much blood…

"There's no wait out!" yelled a fairy.

"We're trapped!" screamed another.

Timmy realized there was something caught around his ankle. He looked down and saw that a ring of keys was stuck around his ankle. "Hey," he said as he reached down and got them off. "Maybe these can help." He looked around and spotted a door. "Here goes nothing." He ran to the door and tried a key. After two keys, the third key opened the door, revealing dozens of wands. "Hey I found the wands!"

Wanda ran over. "Good job Timmy, these will be of some help." She looked around for hers, spotted it, and grabbed it. "I just hope I have enough strength left to do anything." She waved her wand, and the rest of the wands flew out of the closet and to their owner. "Listen everyone!" All of the fairies turn to her. "We need to concentrate our magic on one area and try and blast a hole out of this place." They nodded and she pointed her wand to the nearest wall. "On three! One! Two! Three!"

At once, a multitude of colors shot at the wall, hitting it with a loud crash. Nothing seemed to be happening at first, but then the column of magic started to move, and, after was seemed like forever, the magic broke through the other side, revealing the outside world.

Fairies cheered and headed for the exit, but a terrifying roar stopped them in their tracks.

"I don't like the sound of that," Timmy said.

"What is it?" Wanda asked.

Anti-Cosmo stepped forward. "Something only I have the strength and power to fight." A second roar came, one much close, and a steel grey dragon crashed through the upper story of the lair. "Get everyone out!" he yelled. "I'll handle this."

"How can one anti-fairy take out a huge dragon?" Timmy asked.

"I am an evil genius," Anti-Cosmo said. "I think I'll manage. Now go!" He jumped into their air and flew towards the dragon, claws extended.

"Come on Timmy," Wanda called. "We have to go!" The young man turned and followed her out, just escaping falling debris caused by the dragon's destruction. They didn't get very far. None of the fairies were strong enough to fly, and they had all collapsed only a few dozen yards away.

"It's too dangerous to stay here!" Timmy exclaimed. "We've gotta move!"

"We would if we could," Wanda said. She had fallen to her knees at the edge of the group. Anti-Wanda sat a few feet away, trembling hard from her unexpected run. The wounds and sores on her wings, caused by the chains that use to bind her wings, were bleeding and oozing sluggishly. Cosmo on the other hand, was already unconscious. His bleeding still hadn't slowed, it was gathering in a pool underneath him and staining his green hair a dark red.

"What exactly happened?" Timmy asked as he knelt next to his former godmother.

Wanda was starting to tremble. "Mance, he was the one you knocked out. He's responsible for all of this. He captured all of these fairies; he wants our magic to use for his 'return' to Fairy World. He says that our magic is the most powerful."

"How does that work?"

"I don't know," Wanda answered. "I never thought we would get out of there…"

"You guys may be out," Timmy said. "But you're not home yet, although I don't think you'd be going home anyway. All of you look like you could use a good amount of time in the hospital." He looked up, hardly any of the fairies were conscious anymore; even Anti-Wanda has succumbed to her weakness and injuries. He heard a muffled thud and looked down, finding that Wanda had also collapsed unconscious. "Oh great, I'm all by myself with a dragon that could probably kill Anti-Cosmo. What do I do now?"

There was a crash behind him, and he turned to see the dragon soaring towards him. "Uh-oh…" He looked around to find any thing he could use as a possible weapon, but there wasn't anything within sight. "This is bad." The dragon was nearly on top of, but to his surprise, it stalled in midair and landed a few feet in front of him. "I'm so dead…"

He heard Anti-Cosmo's laugh. "That would be a amusing," the anti-fairy said as he appeared over the dragon's shoulder, "but that won't be happening today."

"How are you controlling the dragon?" Timmy asked.

"I have my ways," Anti-Cosmo answered. There was a long tear in his shirt, from his left shoulder down across his body to his lower right side, but he didn't seem to be bleeding. He looked around, noting the condition of the fairies. "I believe it's a good thing I didn't slay this dragon, we'll need it to get everyone out of here."

"But there are too many fairies," Timmy argued. "They won't all fit."

The dragon brought its large head down and blew into Anti-Cosmo's hair. The anti-fairy grimaced and ran his fingers through his hair and looked up at the dragon. "What is it?"

Timmy didn't hear any kind of verbal response from the dragon. He shook his head and went over and sat down between Cosmo and Wanda.

Anti-Cosmo ignored the human as he walked away and concentrated on Kaizic, the massive dragon he had tamed moments ago. With the taming came a link between the two of them, and now Anti-Cosmo was able to communicate with the dragon telepathically.

-Tamer -, Kaizic said. -I sense fairies coming. They will be here soon. -

Anti-Cosmo looked back down the road from which he and his opposite had come from. He could vaguely make out fairies heading in their direction. "Good. I can assume Jorgan will be among them, I'll have to deal with him when he gets here."

-I can sense that you are worried, Tamer, - Kaizic said. -Is it that you are worried that this Jorgan fairy will send you and your mate back to where you came from without giving your mate the help she needs? -

Anti-Cosmo nodded, ignoring the dragon's word choice. "If he sends us back now without helping her first, she will die, and so will her opposite." He swallowed hard. He didn't care at all about the fairy, but if Anti-Wanda died…He shook his head. "Jorgan would be a fool to send us back. If my wife dies then so will the fairy, and then Jorgan will have a death on his conscious. I don't think he would want to live with something like that."

-I understand, - Kaizic replied. -The fairies are close now. They will be here in a matter of minutes. -

Anti-Cosmo nodded as he watched the fairies approach. "Timothy, you may want to get up."

"It's Timmy," Timmy growled as he got to his feet. "Why?" The anti-fairy pointed behind him at the fairies coming at them. "Oh…" The fairies were coming in fast, and of course the leading fairy was none other than Jorgan von Strangle.

"Puny human, what are you doing back here?" Jorgan yelled as he landed in front of the human.

"I-I-I," Timmy stuttered, not having a clue how to respond. When his voice didn't work, he looked down at him former godparents, hoping that the sight of them would deter Jorgan's attention.

Jorgan's attention was deterred, but it was over to Anti-Cosmo, not to the fairies lying on the ground. "Anti-Cosmo! What are you doing back in Fairy World? Are you the cause of this?"

"Why would I want to do something like this?" Anti-Cosmo asked, looking down at the prone fairies and Anti-Wanda lying on the ground as he spoke. "I would never do this, but the one responsible is unconscious in the dungeons of that structure behind me. Its punishment better be severe."

Now Jorgan really looked around, noting all of the fairies on the ground, primarily the bleeding Cosmo and the broken and battered Anti-Wanda. "What in the name of face cake happened?"

"I'll tell you if you promise me that you won't throw Anti-Wanda and myself back into Anti-Fairy World in the next quiet moment," Anti-Cosmo said.

"What? And be responsible for killing four people?" Jorgan asked. "I may be stern and commanding fairy general, but I don't want to kill innocent fairies."

"Four?" Anti-Cosmo asked.

Jorgan ignored him for the moment as he gave instructions to four police fairies and sent them to the castle. "Yes, four. Why?"

"Who are you expecting to die besides my wife and her opposite?" Anti-Cosmo asked.

"Oh wow," Jorgan said. "You don't know?"

"Know what?" Timmy piped up. If something concerned his former godmother, he wanted to know.

"Yes, what don't I know?" Anti-Cosmo asked.

"Oh…I hate being the bearer of bad-no! Wait! This isn't bad news!" Jorgan looked down at the two fairies of topic noting their conditions. "But at the same time it's not good news either!" He grabbed his head. "Why must I be the one to say this?!"

"Out with it Jorgan!" Anti-Cosmo yelled.

Jorgan cringed a little. "They're pregnant," he said weakly. He wiped his brow. "Whew, glad that's over."

"Wanda's what?!" Timmy exclaimed. "Geez, off for only three or four months and this is what happens? They must have been busy."

Anti-Cosmo was a little more on the stunned side, the very stunned side. All he could do was look down at his wife on the ground.

-Are you all right Tamer? - Came Kaizic's voice in his head. -You seem to be very troubled now? Is there something wrong with your mate being in the process of bearing young? –

-Look at her… -Anti-Cosmo murmured in telepathic response. -Does she look like one that would be in such a state? After everything she's been through? -He shook his head and put a tight clamp on his emotions; there would be time to deal with those later. "I we just going to stand here Jorgan or are we going to get out of here and give these people the medical attention they deserve?"

Jorgan nodded and turned to the mass amounts of fairies that had accompanied him. "Listen up! I want some of you fairies to start taking these fairies to the hospital. Once you get there, inform every other fairy you come across to come here to help!"

"Kaizic can carry some," Anti-Cosmo said. He swallowed hard, beginning to feel the effects of the day's events. Bringing down the barrier, the emotional strains he was feeling from finding Anti-Wanda, the dragon fight, and the overall condition of his opposite were taking their toll.

"You heard him," Jorgan said. "Load the dragon!"

"We got him Mr. Jorgan von Strangle sir," came a voice from behind them. They turned to see the four fairy officers struggling to holding on to the chained body of Mance, whom was struggling and cursing violently.

"Good," Jorgan said. "Take him to the maximum security prison and put him in the highest reinforced cell."

"Yes sir!" the four fairies said as they poofed away.

"You couldn't let us hit him again?" Timmy asked Jorgan.

"Why?" Jorgan asked.

"'Cause I think someone needs an outlet," Timmy answered, pointing to the fuming Anti-Cosmo. The anti-fairy's claws were extended and his eyes were slit-pupils with entirely green surroundings. "He looks pretty pissed."

Jorgan blinked, and then yelled, "Binky!"

The little fairy raced up to Jorgan. "Yes Jorgan?" he asked timidly.

"Take note of this," Jorgan said, and the fairy conjured up a pen and a pad of paper. "Make sure I never piss off anti-fairies," he whispered.

Binky quickly scribbled it down. "I'll do my best sir," he said, and then noticed the enraged Anti-Cosmo. "Oh, I see what you mean…" He quickly hid behind the muscular fairy.

Jorgan waited a few more minutes before asking one of the fairies whom had taken charge of the loading process if things were done. "Are we loaded up?" Jorgan asked.

"Yes Jorgan," said one of the fairies. "We can go to fairy hospital now."

Jorgan grabbed Timmy by the back of his jacket and hauled the young man up and sat him down on the last empty spot on the dragon's back, just behind where Anti-Cosmo sat with Anti-Wanda. "Let's go!"

"Is this safe?" Timmy asked as he felt the dragon's body lurch and take to the air.

"Yes," came Anti-Cosmo's rather quiet reply. "Kaizic won't let anyone fall."

Timmy tried to peer around him. "Are you okay?" He didn't get a response, but he didn't try pestering him, that last thing he wanted was to have the anti-fairy turn angry like he had been before and be up against those sharp looking claws. The young man turned around where he sat and looked down at Wanda. Cosmo had been taken away in a ambulance like vehicle just before everyone else had left, he had been very close to bleeding to death and the paramedic fairies didn't want to wait for the rest of fairies to get loaded up.

(I hope everything turns out okay,)Timmy thought. It would be a sad thing if he were able to remember them and then have both of them die right in front of him. He shook his head and reached down and took Wanda's hand. She seemed visibly okay, but he had no idea what was really going on. (If they do die…Jorgan had better erase my memories permanently this time. If I have to remember them like this, I would rather not remember them at all…)

ooo

Author's Note: Aww, poor Timmy. Just as he remembers them he's afraid he's going to lose them again. Can you blame him? Heh, Anti-Cosmo probably felt like he had a bucket of ice water thrown on him. I wonder what's going to happen with all of that…Heh, of course I know, but you guys don't. I'll be introducing a bunch of original characters in the next chapter, well, maybe. It depends on what I have and what I still have yet to write. If not in this chapter then definitely in the one after it. These chapters may start getting a little complicated to read, since I'll be hoping back and forth between anti-fairies and fairies a lot.
