WITCHES AND WIZARDS PART 2

Chapter 13: The Battle

Susie woke up from Mika's soft bed and stretched languidly. Day 4 without Mika and the others around. Today is the day she reports her findings to Ambrose and to see if he has actually made any progress on bringing Mika back from the past. However, if he did know how, he would have whispered to her about it. Susie took the Juliette doll she ordered the night before from Mika's desk and stared at it.

It still looks like any other doll. Hard to believe that it can capture your memories of a person and store it until you seemed to have forgotten about a person whether unintentionally or intentionally. Susie turned the doll around and sees a note tucked into the dress. It must be the instructions. She pulled it out and sure enough it was. The diviner chewed on her left index finger as she began to read it.

1. Think of a person that you don't want to forget.

2. Speak the words, "Abracadabra Rememerada"

3. The Doll must be within 10,000 feet distance from you in order for it to retrieve and send the memories.

4. Wait until you forget a person unwillingly or willingly and the memories will return to you. Keep in mind, it doesn't actually take your memories… it duplicates them and then stores them.

Warning!

The Doll is unable to store memories from two different people. Only one can be stored. Doing so will result in unimaginable consequences. There were only 3 known consequences, but they were all different, so one can assume there may be more.

Susie stared at the instruction note for a few more seconds before looking at the doll. There are consequences for storing memories of two different people? She wondered what had happened during the beta-testing of this doll. The diviner didn't REALLY want to know what will happen, so she backed off from trying to experiment that.

"I might as well get it over with… Who knows when I might suddenly forget Mika…?" Susie held the doll with both arms before closing her eyes and thinking about her fond memories of Mika. Happy memories of them spending time together, having sleepovers, and even the friends-with-benefits memories.

"Abracadabra Rememerada!"

The doll shook a bit. She sees some blue energy come out of her head and stream down into the doll's stomach. It took a total of 5 seconds before the blue stream went away. "Did that did it? How am I supposed to tell if it worked or not?"

The Juliette doll shook violently and then threw itself into a wall before falling down to the floor, a puff of smoke coming out of its head. Susie didn't really expect that, what with her wide eyes shocked at the scene. She got up and picked up the doll. It seemed to fidget a little bit before returning and remaining absolutely still. However… Susie has a weird sensation that she was being watched by those fake but cute eyes of the doll.

"I suppose that's how you're supposed to know…" Susie gently set down the doll on the table and walked out of the room as quickly as she can. Something was off about that doll right now and she is not about to stick around to find out. She grabbed her bag closed the door behind her. It is time for Ambrose to learn about her findings. She bets that he'll be pleasantly surprised at how much info she gathered in so little time. As she left, the doll sat on the table, its cute eyes staring at the door. The smile of the doll twitched a bit and went into a little grin, before returning to the smile a second later.

…

Susie walked into Ambrose's office with a Subway sandwich in hand. She sees him in front of the painting of Christine Dalton, thoroughly examining it. Taking a bite out of her sandwich, she headed up to him to see what he was up to.

"Hey, Ambrose, how are things?" Susie asked with her mouth full, not even bothering to have manners right now. The Headmaster looked at her for a brief moment before looking back at the painting. The painting still had that blue aura around it.

"I have some good news and bad news… which do you want to hear first?" Ambrose asked her, eyes still on the painting.

"Bad…"

"Ok," Ambrose placed his hand on the painting, feeling the textures of it as if searching for something. "The bad news is that I have recently discovered that the time period Mika ventured into is 3 times slower than the time that progresses here. Basically, one day over there is 3 days over here…"

"And…?" Susie urged on. She wasn't exactly worried with that information. If Mika stays too long over there and her history gets erased, at least she still gets her memories of her. It is too bad that Ambrose won't though.

"The good news is that I have made a spell that can open a small hole that will allow only one small person into the past. The other piece of good news is that I know how Mika can get herself back into this time period. The ingredients for the spell are all in Salem and I know exactly where they are… all thanks to some research I have been doing that dates back to that time period…"

"Ok… if I am getting this right…" Susie thought briefly for a moment as she put the information together into what seemed to be a good plan. "You are sending this 'small' person into the past with the information on where the spell ingredients are in Salem so Mika can go find them and create a Time Portal back into our time period…"

"Correct! However, I need to find the right spot on the painting before I can bother ripping a time hole. An incorrect spot will send the person into a different date in Salem than the one Mika and the others are in." Ambrose stated, still feeling around for the so called spot on the painting.

"Question… just who is going into the past then to give the message?" Susie asked, wondering who is small enough to fit.

"That should be an obvious answer for you to figure out…"

A small snowy owl burst into the room from the Spiral Chamber and landed on Ambrose's shoulder. "Hoo! Me of course! Gamma Jr.!" He hooted. Susie snapped her fingers in a, "Of course!" fashion. While Gamma is long dead because of old age and owls don't really live that long… there was still Gamma Jr. around and he is small enough for the job. However… this is Ambrose's pet… so…

"Uh… Ambrose… are you sure you want to send him? You do know what happens when a person stays too long into the past… If he, Mika, and the others don't come back within the small amount of time…"

Ambrose held up a hand to stop her from finishing that sentence. "Yes, yes I know. His history will be erased. However, at the very least he and the others can come back and can still exist and can still remember us. We can go from there. I hope…"

"I will still be loyal to you, Ambrose, even if you forget I exist." Gamma Jr. patted Ambrose's head with his small wing. "I'll be sure to bring Mika and the others back safely!"

Ambrose nodded and affectionately petted his faithful companion. He felt around the painting a little more and feels a different texture than the others on Christine's forehead. Feeling as if this was the right one, he murmured a few magical words under his breath before digging both of his hands into the spot as if he was about to rip something open.

"1…2…3!" Ambrose ripped the time hole open and tried to hold it open as best as he could. "Go! Go and help Mika and the others!" Gamma Jr. wasted no time and flew into the Time hole.

"Good luck, Gamma Jr. Please bring her back safely…" Susie whispered as the time hole shut close. Ambrose sighed deeply before heading over to his desk. Getting bones back into place, he sat down on his comfy chair. Clasping his hands together on his desk, he looked at Susie questioningly.

"So, what did you find out on your research through Mika's house and various other things?" Ambrose asked politely. Susie sat down on the chair on the opposite side of his desk and clasped her hands together as well. She cleared her throat before speaking.

"I learned a bunch of things..."

MMMMMMMMMM

"...It seems that you refuse to let things go... Was sending that wretched girl... Mika... into that time zone really worth it?"

"...You seem to doubt me? I simply did it out of revenge. If I didn't, SHE would have done something and then I'll fail my mission... rather OUR mission..."

"Sending that fool Mika into the past can cause catastrophic events you fool. As you are aware, Time is a delicate matter. Simply changing one single thing in that time period can or will make things difficult. Heck, we, though I prefer you yourself, could be wiped out of existence."

"I am well aware of that. However, there is a theory that I MAY have sent her to a different universe. If all this Quantum shit nonsense is true, there are multiple universes that are either on the same time as other universes or simply faster or slower than the others. So in retrospect, I don't think anything will change."

"That is IF you sent her to a different universe! Also, for all we know, she can come back and then have revenge on you. Is that what you want?"

"...Like she knows who sent her there. Furthermore, she can't see me... all she'll see is..."

"Whatever... I don't care. I hope you know what you are doing. SHE is getting stronger by the minute and then she'll overtake you. I can feel her anger from here and I am in a different universe... that is saying something... It looks like she is not going to let you go without a fight..."

"SHE can overpower me at times, however, it is short lived. I didn't think SHE had the guts. On another topic though, how are you in THAT universe..."

"I am planning something at the moment. It may take a while..."

"Very well... I will monitor those fools and continue the slaughter..."

"See that you do..."

MMMMMMMMM

"Go Tornado!" Christine pointed her finger up in the air. A small tornado formed from the dark clouds above and made its way to the ground. It began to suck in the trees, animals, and other matter into it as it approached the 3 that dared to challenge its summoner.

"Shit!" Mika was not in a good shape to run or dodge. Ann clenched her teeth, trying to think of something. She finally decided to just pick up Mika using her levitating powers. The myth student gasped as she was lifted up in the air and then was tossed into the forest area and smacked into a tree. The small tornado picked up both Ann and Sakuya. The girls screamed as they were tossed around inside with multiple other debris that hit them square in the head. The girls were dazed and then tossed out of it when the tornado used up its energy to stick around. Christine's control over weather was very limited as she can only summon things at will for a short amount of time.

They landed in a nearby bush. Both of them groaned as they tried to get up. Christine made her way over to them, a lightning bolt forming in her hand. However, she was knocked off her feet when the earth below her split open and she fell down head first on the ground. She growled, knowing who made that earthquake. Looking at the direction of where Ann threw Mika, she can see her hold that card that contained that kind of magic.

"Christine, snap out of it... Fight back the corruption that those Witches inflicted upon you..." Mika placed a hand over her right eye, not liking the fact that Ann sent her face first into a tree. Bianca, who was hiding among the trees, heading over to her and shyly placed a hand on Mika's leg. "Are you ok, miss Mika?" She asked in a quiet voice. Mika could only nod her head as she headed towards Christine, ready to smack her back to her senses, even if she didn't want to.

"Please bring her back to being an angel, miss... You can do it!" Bianca cheered her on.

"Stop trying to stall, just accept your well deserved fate and die!" Christine threw the lightning bolt at her. Mika quickly activated a spell card in her other hand that she was previously holding her face with. "Storm Shield!" A purple metal shield with an engraved image of a lightning bolt appeared in front of her. The Lightning bolt hit the shield, broke it, and did minimal damage to Mika. The silver haired teen gasped as the electric shock waves coursed through her body, nearly paralyzing her.

The blonde witch grinned as she summoned another one in her hand. Being out in the open makes her powers as a witch very strong, but still limited. "Time to take you down!"

"No you don't!"

A sword came out of nowhere and stabbed itself into Christine's right leg. She hissed as she feels blood trickle down her leg. She turned herself around and struck Sakuya with the lightning bolt she had created for Mika. Sakuya screamed as her whole body was electrocuted. The heavy rain only made the volts of electricity hurt her more.

Mika took this chance to summon a blood bat to help her. The brown bat popped out of thin air with green substance coming out from its mouth. She ordered the bat to attack Christine. The blood bat could only oblige. It flew to Christine's face and attached itself on her, slobbering and nibbling her.

"Eww! Get it off! Ow!" Christine tried to pry off the gross bat off of her, but it was insistent on nibbling her face and drawing blood of course. As she was distracted with that, Ann focused her levitating powers on her. She lifted her up into the air and then slammed her back down on the ground. Normally that would knock out or kill any normal person, but luckily Christine was a powerful witch.

"I've ran out of magical energy... Mika, go and fight her while I tend to this woman..." Ann sees Mika nod. She headed towards Sakuya and started tending for the electrocuted woman.

Mika sent the blood bat back into her spell card and picked up Christine by the throat. She glared at her, wanting her to stop this murderous intent. "Stop this Christine! A woman like yourself should never do such a thing like this. You KNOW this! Resist! I beg of you. Resist, dammit!"

"Resist what? The only thing that I should stop is to stop letting you live!" Christine bit Mika's right arm and she hissed out in pain. Getting angry, she shook the blonde violently. "CHRISTINE!"

Mika threw her across the area and she slammed into a tree that was near a cliff. Christine was dazed as she had landed into the tree with the back of her head first. The silver haired teen started to tremble... she felt like she just did this to someone before. She shook the unpleasantness out of her head and made her way over to Christine, her wrench at the ready.

"It will... take more than that to take me down!" The rain stopped immediately. Mika looked up into the sky after noticing the rain stop and sees snow starting to come down. What she didn't expect to see was a giant ice ball heading her way... She didn't dodge it in time or even have the time to react.

Mika yelped as giant ice ball hit her square in the chest, keeping her body pinned down into the ground. She was having troubles breathing with the amount of weight this ice ball had. Christine got up to try and finish her off, forming yet another lightning bolt in her hand to strike Mika with. However, she was stopped by an ivy wall. The walls then expanded to surround her, entrapping her within. Christine looked over to see the little Bianca nearby, her arms stretched out and her face wincing in pain as she placed all of her inner power in that magical ability of hers. Bianca was surprised that she could do this herself as she could only let small plants to grow.

"You will not... hurt her..." Bianca said in a quiet voice. Christine growled and tried to break through the ivy wall, but it seemed too strong for her to break. Sakuya, who just recovered from her injuries thanks to Ann, summoned some small swords and they all attacked Christine's legs through the ivy wall. She yelped and fell to her knees, pulling the swords out, blood pouring out of her as she did so.

"Mika! Finish her off!" Ann rolled the giant ice ball off of her. Mika got up from the ground and looked at her wrench and then back at Christine.

"I am sorry, but I must do this so you can get back to normal." She focused all of her myth energy into her Myth Crush wand attack. With a few magical words and several waves of the wrench, she then pointed her wrench at Christine. "MYTH CRUSH!" A yellowy burst of myth energy came out and blasted through the ivy wall Bianca made and hit Christine square in the forehead.

The blonde gasped, her head tilted back, as she felt the intense pain of that attack go through not only her forehead, but her body as well. Her grassy green eyes turned back to their usual pure color. The murderous intent in them has vanished as the ivy wall disintegrated around her. The 3 other girls sighed in relief and they landed on their butts, knowing the battle was over. Mika dropped her wrench and headed over to her. It was done, but now... she had to do one last thing before she was satisfied with this outcome.

Christine collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. Tears fell down her face as she returned to the way she was. Mika felt bad for doing this to her. She didn't want to hurt the blonde witch at all. Unlike the previous times she hurt her physically, she just felt really bad for doing it, even if the blonde was corrupted in the mind. She held a hand out to her, wanting her to take it so she can pull her up. "Christine..." She murmured as she looked at her sympathetically.

"D-Don't come near me... I can't believe that I tried to kill you... That is not like me at all... I am a monster..." The blonde crawled backwards away from her, she neared the edge of the cliff. It looked to be a big drop and there was a skinny river at the bottom of it. "I... am no different than those men that are hunting and killing witches. I was lusting for your blood... I can never forgive myself..."

She stood up from the ground and inched closer, preparing to take the plunge. Mika looked alarmed and inched closer to her. "Christine! No! Don't do it! You have a lot to live for! Don't let something like this decide whether you want to live or not!" She tried to get even closer, but the blonde warned her she will jump if she tries to get any closer.

"That was not you that tried to kill me. It was those witches that corrupted you. You weren't yourself! That is not the true you. You would never do that! I don't blame you for your actions!" Mika tried to reason with her. Christine looked down at the ground, still feeling ashamed of herself. "Why would you say that to me? Don't you hate me? Don't you hate witches?"

Mika bit her lip, she knew the answer to that question... but she just couldn't bring it out of her own mouth. Christine sighed and turned to face the long drop in front of her, a quarter of her feet teetering on the edge. "I guess I should just die... at least I would be at peace then and pay for the sins I have committed for trying to take a life... well lives anyways." With that, she closed her eyes and jumped off.

"NO! CHRISTINE!" Mika screamed. When she jumped, she had reacted fast and lunged herself at the edge of the cliff and grabbed a hold of her right arm. There was no way in hell that she was going to let Christine die. She was not going to let a w... a person like her die. She doesn't deserve it, no matter how much she tries to justify that she does.

Christine gasped, wondering why Mika was stopping her from killing herself. "Mika... let me go! I deserve to die! Let me go!" She tried prying Mika's hand from her arm, but the young woman had a very strong grip on her arm. The blonde sobbed as she dangled there while Mika was trying to pull her up the best she could. "Don't you hate me? ...Y-You want me to suffer instead of letting me die? You are so... cruel..."

"No... Christine... I... I don't hate you at all..." Mika replied, keeping her firm grip on her arm. Christine looked surprised at that and tilted her head to look up at her. "W-What? You don't hate me? How... but... you, at the town I was sure..." The silver haired teen quickly shook her head, her own tears beginning to drop down her face.

"That was just me overreacting... I know I physically hurt you back there... and I... I am really am sorry..." Mika wiped her tears with her free hand. "I don't hate you... Christine... you are a kind and loving woman and yet I was so blind of my hatred towards witches that I couldn't believe it and turned my hatred towards you..."

Christine could only just look at her, staring into her eyes to see if she was telling the truth. Her eyes show that of a woman who was truly sorry for everything she did. Unlike the anger and hatred she sees very often in those chestnut eyes... there was a soft and kind look about them now. Mika was telling the truth... and that kind of shocked her.

"I am so sorry for everything I did!" Mika sobbed as she reached out with her other hand and gently grasped Christine's hand. "But, you don't deserve to die! If anything, I should die for being so hateful towards witches and the things I have done to you... I... I... I care for you, Christine. You deserve to live. You care for a lot of people and you are so nice. Everything about you is... wonderful... and I was too blind to see it..."

"Don't let something like trying to kill me decide that you should end your own life. You have dreams and ambitions. I may not know what they are... but I am sure they are something worth pursuing... You are not like those men... you are truly... an angel... and an angel... should be allowed to live..."

Christine felt those words go to her heart. There was sincerity in those words. It seemed like this is what Mika truly is... without the anger and hatred that has been within this young woman she had known for a short while. She was actually a kind woman... The blonde looked at her and gave her a genuine smile, a lone tear falling from her cheek. "T-Thank you... Mika..."

Mika smiled back and started pulling with all her might. Christine allowed herself to be lifted up and into safety. Mika panted, but was happy to convince Christine to give herself a second chance to live her life. "D-Do you forgive me, can you forgive a blind fool like me...?" She asked in a whisper. The blonde gave her a comforting smile in response.

"I do. I forgive you. In fact... why don't we start over...?" Christine took out her hand, waiting for Mika to take it within her own. Mika smiled warmly, thanking the God above for giving her a second chance to make things right with this woman. She took Christine's hand without hesitation and shook it.

"My name is Christine Dalton... and you miss?"

"I am Mika FrogWhisperer... It is... a pleasure to make your acquaintance..."

CCCCCCCCC

1) You won't know what happened to Lucas and those men until Chapter 15. I have to keep it secret till then. As for the other 2 missing characters, they will have a bigger role in Chapter 15. I will also give flashbacks for them so you know exactly what had transpired with them both and Lucas.

2) Wizard101 went online for the public to play in late 2008. The year for this story is 2030. (Obviously talking about present) Owls don't live very long so yes, I did kill off Gamma. I went with Gamma Jr. instead. So, if you care, this story takes place after Emma's Wizardly Adventure 2 by 18 years. Just so you know.

3) That "Bolded and Italicized" Conversation I wrote on purpose in that way. I am giving hints, but I refuse to speak anything of it. They are just there to help you figure things out.
