Chapter 11: A Granted Alliance
Previously on Chapter 10: Jenny realized the one who saved her was Predator Hawk, a former member of the Destructix and the voice she heard in her dreams. The evil Bride of the Raiju Clan wanted Jenny to be Legionized and join the Iron Dominion! Jenny refused once again and attacked the Legionnaires in order to escape. Surprisingly, more KindHearted Fairies appeared to help Rainbow Lady with her mission. But there's still more! Discover what happens next!
"Jenny... Jenny! Can you hear me? Can you hear me, Jenny?"
I heard an echoing voice calling me. I moaned and slowly opened my eyes. My vision was blurry, then it cleared out. I saw a concerned Espio next to me. I could feel his cold fingers touching my neck, so I could say that he was taking my pulse. Predator was lingering at the entrance of the room, and the two allied Brides were also next to me.
"She's coming around!" Another random voice exclaimed.
"Our child, thank goodness you're awake!" Endless Reach hugged me. I widened my eyes, not expecting such a thing or two from her.
"Ow!" I winced in pain. "Wh- where am I?" I asked.
"You're safe, kid. At least you managed to survive." Predator said.
"Hold still, dear." A nurse from the Shinobi said and held my right arm.
"Wha- AUGH!" I groaned in pain. My arm had a bump and a few scratches and my knees were cut. The nurse rubbed my wounds with alcohol and a hanky. "Please, let it end!" I screamed.
"Calm down, Jenny." Predator came towards me and pushed me against his chest. He covered me in his arms to distract my pain away. "Relax. It'll end soon enough." He said with a silky, handsome voice. I smiled and chuckled.
"You were in pretty tough condition, Jenny. Get some rest until you heal, okay?" Espio smiled at me.
"I will." I nodded. A few seconds later, I felt a throbbing pain that made me groan and hold onto Predator.
"I think it would be better if we leave the child alone, everyone." Constant Vigil said. "Get some sleep, darling. We'll be seeing you later." She touched my head and walked to the door.
"Wait!" I held out a hand in front of me and beckoned on the Brides to stop. "I need to speak with the Brides first." I lowered my voice.
"About what, my dear?" Endless Reach asked and sat in front of me, in the bed.
"About... the other Clans." I sighed, then continued. "Did they accepted the alliance?"
"They seemed convinced, but I'm afraid not, darling. I heard rumors from the Raiju Clan having ties with the Iron Dominion once again. They're too dangerous now." Constant Vigil said.
"Yes. And I bet the Bride of the Conquering Storm has contacts with the Baldy nose-hair guy. She mentioned something about me, she said that I must be Legionized and they will end up with my powers!" I exclaimed and felt desperate, I lowered my head down and sighed.
"You will not be Legionized, our child. You will not join them. Please, calm down. Your friends and our Clans are already fighting to keep you safe." Endless Reach softly raised my head by my cheeks. I smiled at her and hugged her.
"Thank you, Brides." I happily said.
"No, our child, thank you." Endless Reach replied. "Now you may rest, dear."
The Brides left my room and closed the curtain door. I happily sighed and carefully laid down. I closed my eyes and thought...
"They never said a thing or two about the Yagyu scumbags. What if they switched sides and accepted the alliance?"
I smiled at the thought, then I drifted off to sleep. This time I dreamed that Predator and I were lying under a cherry blossom tree, we were happy and held onto each other. We saw those pink petals falling down, until one reached Predator's head. I chuckled at him and removed the petal that had him annoyed. He was still lying in the green grass. His eyes were closed, he was breathing pleasantly and showed a calm smile. I was sitting next to him, smiling down at him. Then I narrowed my eyes down and glared at his clawed hand. At first I was scared to touch it because I still thought Predator could hurt me, but when I realized Predator was now a good guy, and now my closest and trustable friend, I sighed and, all of a sudden, I touched his hand and held mine onto it. He suddenly reacts and looks at me with his eyes widened, and stared down at our hands joined to each other. I giggled and clutched my head onto his warm chest. Predator looked down at me handsomely and wrapped my body with his arms. We kept staring at the cherry blossom tree's petals falling down, then the dream ended with a white flash of light.
Meanwhile, in the Yagyu Clan, the Lords fought off some Raiju ninjas who stood in the Dragon Kingdom to capture the girl. Ever since Lord Yagyu had accepted the alliance, he switched sides and commanded one of his fellow ninjas to look for Jenny.
"Search for the kid. Bring her to me... safe."
"Weren't we supposed to enslave that puny child?" The Yagyu Lord in yellow asked.
"Not anymore." Lord Yagyu sighed. "Our deeds around the child were more than just harsh. From now on, no more pain will be intended towards her. By my word of honor, the alliance of the Yagyu Clan to protect the kid is now set. We will not act evilly towards her... ever again."
Back in New Mobotropolis were the 14 Fairies, fighting against Raiju ninjas. Some of them combined their powers to hit powerful dual attacks. Starfire and Lava Girl burnt some parts of the coliseum in fire to trap the Dark Leggionaires, Terra and Natura trapped some other Legionnaires using plants. Powerpuff and Pegasus combined their magic to boost their attacks and hit some Raiju ninjas with the boosted energy, the ice girls, Bloom and Blizzed, fired a strong blizzard wind to push them away. Dash and Aeris helped them using their wind powers. Avigne and Infinity Queen blinded the Iron Queen from attacking their Fairy friends using light energy. Zoé Lightning, alongside Aquamarine, hit a powerful stormy attack at the Iron King. Using her Magitek, the Iron Queen broke the girls' light energy and sent them flying backwards. She called upon all her power to defeat the Fairies.
"Destroy their powers! Summon dark energy!" She shouted. "As the great darkness rises, the world will perish, and so will the Fairies' powers!"
The girls collapsed as their gems turned gray. Their skins were becoming pale, their uniforms were replaced with a sleeveless gown, its glow eventually faded away. They were weak and defenseless, they were then being engulfed with dark energy.
"W- what's happening?" Starfire grunted.
"All our power... is fading away!" Zoé groaned and bursted in tears.
"We all need Rainbow Lady's help!" Terra exclaimed with the bit of strength she had.
"We won't lose our greatest hope!" Ice Blizzed said.
The Gossamer and Shinobi ninjas gave some backup help to the powerless girls as they collapsed, but because their enemies were too strong, they were easily beaten. Starfire groaned at this and got to her feet. Then she ran towards a Raiju ninja and punched him in the face. A Dark Legionnaire held her arms back as three other Raiju ninjas aimed at her with sharpy spears. Starfire grunted and pulled herself away from the Legionnaire's grip, then she punched and kicked the ninjas. Conquering Storm reacted to this and kicked the girl hard in the back, making her hit the ground face-first. The Bride looked down at the tough girl as she wiped away some blood coming out of her mouth. A spider ninja ran behind Conquering Storm and pinned her down in the ground. He pinned her tightly using his six arms so she could not break free. Starfire ran back to help the rest of her friends.
Back in the Shinobi Clan's headquarters was Jenny in her room, asleep as if nothing ever happened in Mobius. She then woke up with a strong pain in her chest and fell from her bed for rolling over various times.
"AUGH!" She groaned in pain. "What's happening?"
Jenny struggled for the pain to fade, but it was useless. A non-glowing, pale pink sleeveless gown replaced her normal clothing. She noticed her skin becoming pale. Her Power Gem had a crack and turned gray. She was also being engulfed with dark energy like her friends were. She rushed out of the room and sought for Constant Vigil to ask for help.
As I ran to ask for help from the Bride, I went feeling weak, this affecting my speed and strength. When I managed to find the Bride, I fell to my knees and held my hands in the ground. I could feel my heart beating rapidly and I breathed faster.
"Jenny!" Espio gasped as he held me. "What's wrong? Why are you so pale?"
"It's the Iron Queen, I can sense her dark energy. She's not only affecting me, my friends are also in trouble!" I grunted after that and fell from his grip. "We better go and save them." I wheezed.
Espio carried me out of the Clan's quarters and we traveled back to New Mobotropolis. Hours seemed like days when we traveled. When we managed to arrive, we were then cornered by two Raiju ninjas. The purple chameleon set me down nicely and rushed to attack the Raiju ninjas. First he made a chop with his left arm and hit the first one in the torso. Then the second one, which was armed with a staff, slashed it towards Espio. The chameleon quickly held the staff using his reflexes and grinned at the Raiju ninja, then he camouflaged himself, remaining invisible. The lynx ninja widened his eyes and looked around, and to tell you the truth, so was I! Espio was an expert in what he did. The lynx kept looking for his frame, until he appeared behind the ninja and knocked him unconscious with a strong kick in the head. The lynx fell to his side and was completely knocked out. I did an ouch gesture and glared at the chameleon in front of me. I smiled and so he did. He picked me up and both went to where the plot was set.
After we entered the coliseum, we saw a huge mess of defeated Legionnaires, Yagyu ninjas, and most importantly, my friends! I gasped and let go of his grip. With the bit of strength I had, I ran towards my friends and tried to help them. They were as affected as I was.
As Jenny ran to check on her friends, Espio faced his rival, Lightning Lynx, who also joined the Iron Dominion alongside the rest of his Clan.
"Lightning." The chameleon muttered.
"Long time no see, my rival. I can see your little Heiress friend and her buddies are losing their powers." Lightning sneered.
"Don't you ever talk like that about Jenny! She doesn't deserve to be like this!" Espio shouted.
"Ouch, that hurts, friend." Lightning mocked and laughed evilly.
The poor chameleon ninja felt so furious, his soul was filled with rage. He grunted at Lightning and rushed to attack him with a strong punch. The lynx quickly dodged the attack by grabbing the chameleon's fist, then he punched him with an uppercut. The chameleon hit the ground and struggled to get back up, but he was very hurt.
"You Shinobi ninjas are pathetic, and too slow." Lightning smirked at the hurt chameleon. "Very well, I must attend an important assignment and get your little rebel friend." He said and walked away, but Espio grabbed his right leg to stop him.
"Leave Jenny and her friends alone." He grunted and got up, still struggling.
Surprisingly, the chameleon's body was surrounded by a white aura that healed him in a second. When the aura disappeared, he thought of Jenny and smiled, then he got into his fighting position and glared at Lightning Lynx, who turned around, not expecting to see his rival still up, healed.
"You guys sure don't give up, do you?" The lynx said and got to his fighting position as well.
The rivals collided into another fight, this time Espio was immune to the lynx's attacks thanks to the mysterious white aura that healed him. He was even faster and could attack Lightning with ease. The lynx seemed to be exhausted after all the maneuvering he just did just to defeat the chameleon. Espio kicked him in the torso and Lightning fell to his side, this meaning that he was knocked out by the purple chameleon ninja.
"You said to be strong and fast, huh?" He crossed his arms and glared down at him. "I can see that you're wrong."
"This hasn't... ended yet!" Lightning shouted exhausted. "The little girl... shall die!"
"Whatever you say, friend." Espio sneered and walked away.
I did a prayer to the Sun Gods to heal us all, and as I finished with the prayer, a ray of sunshine fell to me and my friends. We stopped losing our powers and our gowns were glowing once again. We got to our feet and everyone hugged me with happiness. Our happy faces faded when the ground suddenly shook, breaking apart. From under the ground emerged a huge, dark dragon that could fire any kind of power you can imagine. We gasped and prepared ourselves. I merely forgot about my Power Gem, and couldn't transform. My friends felt the same way and desperately sought for other options to attack the dark dragon. The Iron Queen evilly laughed after the rising of the dark dragon.
"With all the drained powers from these girls, especially the Heiress' ultimate powers, the Dragon of Darkness shall rise and Mobius will fall into the depths of darkness... forever!"
The Freedom Fighters named Sonic, Tails, Sally, Monkey Khan, Amy, Antoine and Nicole had arrived to help Jenny and her friends. They watched as the Dragon of Darkness rised, making the ground shake and destroying New Mobotropolis. The citizens were panicked, running from here to there. some were trying to calm them down, but it was useless. The city was distorted in pieces, luckily, no Mobian citizen died during the impact. The Dragon of Darkness made a huge orb of dark energy and launched it towards Jenny and her friends.
I watched in fear as the giant orb of dark energy fell towards us. I got in front of my friends and attempted to shield them using my pendant's power. I still had my pendant hanging around my neck, so I used its light powers to destroy the dark sphere. The light from my pendant increased its size and surrounded the whole sphere and destroyed it by shrinking it. After the burst of light faded, the pendant stopped glowing and I fell to my side. I sighed in tiredness as I felt someone shaking me.
"Jenn, are you alright?" Sonic asked, I could respond with just a silent sigh.
Suddenly, my Fairy form replaced the sleeveless gown and all the strength I lost had returned. I gasped and opened my eyes, then I saw the dark dragon in front of us. I got up to my feet and prepared. My Power Gem had its aqua-green color back and began shimmering. As it did so, my friends also had their Fairy forms back. Another ray of sunshine fell onto me. I looked up, covering my eyes from the intense light and smiling. Then this light grew and everything faded to white.
I appeared in a white world with a cloudy ground and nothing else around, just white. I was wearing a white gown with tiny suns at the bottom, decorated in pure gold. At my chest was a golden bow and a sun brooch adorned it. I still had my sun pendant and my eyes and hair had a lighter tone of brown.
I looked around and saw something moving to my direction. I focused my sight at the figure and noticed it was a woman. She had white hair, yellow eyes, the same dress I had, excluding the bow and brooch, and a crown in her head. I realized it was the Sun Goddess.
"My daughter..." She smiled at me. "My Jenny, I miss you!" She hugged me and dropped a tear, then she looked at me. "You're willing to save everyone, and for that, Gardenia Fey told your father and I to give you this."
She gave me a golden scepter with a sun that looked like my pendant at the top, below it was an empty hole I guess was where my pendant should be placed in. It was shiny and beautiful.
"It's so pretty... but why are you giving this to me? Why is this part of my mission to save the city?"
"Jennaleah... this scepter is a gift from Gardenia Fey. It contains Sun Power, and you can use it to defeat mighty enemies with its mightier force."
"But, Sun Goddess..."
"Jennaleah. I am your mother. Gardenia told your father and I to give this to you."
My eyes widened with tears when I heard that.
"The Sun Gods are my real parents? The King and Queen of Solandia?"
"M- Mother?" I cried. "Thank you!"
I hugged her and cried. The Sun Gods were actually my REAL parents! The question was how were they able to become normal humans back there?
"There, there, my child. Now go. The city needs your help, Rainbow Lady." She said softly, wiping my tears away with her fingers. I sniffed.
After that, I closed my eyes and returned to where I was before.
I opened my eyes and found myself in my Fairy form once again. I realized I was holding onto something, and looked down at my hands. The scepter I saw was there! And the pendant was in my left hand. I smiled at the objects and looked up at the dragon, still without making a single move. I sighed in relief and prepared the scepter by placing the pendant in the empty hole of the rod. It made a loud click and shined a bit.
"Okay, dark loser! It's time to go back to where you belong!" I yelled.
The Fairies made a circle around me as I held the Scepter of Solandia up and recited the Elements of the Rainbow to upgrade our powers and defeat the dragon.
"Courage, Strength, Joy, Freedom, Peace, Loyalty, Harmony, Heart!"
The scepter bursted in a circle of colorful lights. Our Power Gems reacted to the immense light energy and made our bodies glow auras or our theme colors. The ground shined a misty white light as we floated up in the air. My whole body was filled with a white light and I turned into a beam of light that cleared out the dark skies. The others also became colorful beams of light that joined mine.
We appeared in a heavenly background with our Fairy outfits and wings fully upgraded. Me, Zoé Lightning, Aquamarine, Starfire and Avigne made up a star as the other ten Fairies were surrounding us in a circle. A white flash of light emerged and everything faded to white.
"This is the power of the Rainbow Blast!" I yelled.
"KindHearted Power, here we go!" The other 14 Fairies yelled.
"KINDHEARTED!" The dark dragon yelled as it got surrounded by dark lightning.
"Everyone, let's go!" I yelled. "Rainbow Blast, shine strongly!" I shouted and held the scepter forwards.
"Courage!" Starfire yelled and her gem shined red.
"Strength!" Lava girl yelled, her gem shined orange.
"Joy!" Terra yelled, her gem glowing yellow.
"Freedom!" Powerpuff and Pegasus yelled together, their gems glowing lime green and regular green.
"Peace and Loyalty!" The five blue girls yelled together, their gems glowing turquoise blue, sky blue, cerulean blue, electric blue and regular blue.
"Harmony!" Avigne and Aquamarine shouted, their gems glowing purple and orchid.
"Heart!" Natura and Infinity Queen yelled together as their gems shined raspberry and magenta.
"And Sol for Rainbow Blast!" I yelled louder as my gem shined colorful lights.
All the Legendary Fifteen Lights were introduced into the scepter and it fired a powerful beam of light towards the dragon. It fired a dark beam of lightning and it collided with the beam of colorful lights.
"The lights should fall. This world will live in deep darkness!" The dragon shouted with a deep, evil voice.
"This world deserves to live in the light side!" Avigne yelled.
"The power of darkness shall come to an end!" Starfire exclaimed.
"Our light in our hearts will bring peace to these lands!" Aquamarine also exclaimed.
"That peace everyone deserves... we will fight for it!" Zoé Lightning yelled.
"All together... with the power of light!" I shouted within echoes.
A black background appeared and a blink of light shined, then the beam of colorful lights was recharged, becoming twice as powerful. It finally hit the dark dragon with a burst of colors. The dragon growled and began disintegrating by the power of the Fifteen Lights. As he disappeared, I decided to grant three wishes to save Mobius.
"By the power of the Sun, three wishes will be done!" I yelled. "First wish! Raiju Clan, renounce your ties with the Iron Dominion and accept the alliance!" A spark of colorful lights divided itself in different, colorful sparkles. These made the Raiju members switch sides and stop fighting.
"Second wish! Restore the entire city of New Mobotropolis and let its citizens live in peace!" Another spark flew up like fireworks and also divided itself in different, colorful lights. These repaired New Mobotropolis and rebuilt the damaged buildings.
"Third wish!" I yelled louder and pointed to the Iron King and Queen. "Rulers of the Iron Dominion! You shall return to the shadows where you belong and NEVER show yourselves to the light of day ever again!"
After I shouted that, a huge gem had trapped the Iron King and Queen. The Iron King hit the gem's walls with his rod, but it was no use. The Iron Queen tried using her Magitek, but the gem didn't reacted to the power. The gem soon began cracking, revealing an intense light. Then we all screamed, me being the last one to make the louder shout. The gem broke and the light shrank, did a blink and disappeared into nothingness.
All of us landed with cheers from the Freedom Fighters. We de-transformed and cheered in a group hug, cheering our group's name several times. We undid the group hug and everyone meet my friends. I stood a few feet away from them and sighed. Then I noticed something shimmering in the ground.
I walked towards the shiny thing and caught it. It was the Iron Queen's crown. When I touched it, the crown changed its form and became a golden Princess tiara with four circular gems and a sun in the middle that had a tiny heart attached to it in front. I soon noticed Sonic and Khan were next to me, then the others and my Fairy friends as well.
"It's yours if you want it, kid." Khan smiled at me.
I looked at the tiara and got up. I raised it up in the air as the four Clans cheered, then I wore it in my head proudly. My mission was half complete.
I suddenly turned my gaze to Lord Yagyu as he came to my direction. He bowed in front of me and spoke up.
"We were wrong, kid. You're not a slave anymore. Count on the Yagyu Clan for all your needs. The alliance is set, Princess."
"My pleasures, Lord Yagyu." I smiled and bowed before him.
"All right, Yagyu, we return home!" With that, Lord Yagyu and his ninjas left.
My gaze then turned to the Raiju Clan and the Bride of the Conquering Storm. They were leaving without saying a word. I quickened my pace towards the Bride and called her to get my attention.
"Miss Bride?" I called.
"Don't say a word, Princess. The alliance is set." And with that she left without even bowing before me.
I kept looking as the Bride and the rest of her clan walked away until they were out of sight. I sighed, thought of that Bride for a second, then I turned around and walked away.
We left the coliseum alongside the Freedom Fighters and celebrated our greatest victory in Freedom HQ. We laughed and celebrated all day long, then I went outside to distract myself alone. All of a sudden, I saw a cherry blossom tree like the one in my dreams, and below it was Predator waiting for me with a picnic already set. I walked towards him, my stomach had butterflies and I felt something in my heart I couldn't describe.
"Nice job, Jenny." Predator smiled at me.
"Thanks!" I blushed and chuckled. Then I looked at a falling petal of the tree, it landed over his head.
I giggled and removed the petal off his head, then without even thinking, my hand landed over his. Predator reacted the same way he did in my dream and I laughed. We got up and ran around the place with happiness in our hearts.
"Thank you all for helping me! I promise I will help back! Sun Gods, may the next adventure we get become even more exciting here in Mobius. Thank you for all!"
