With Remy letting out his war cry, the battle ElimiNormbots flew towards an opponent each, beginning the battle over Fairy World. It soon enough became too cramped to battle in the exceptionally large throne room, so several of the minor characters had to duke it out against the ElimiNormbots within the halls.
With that, Remy wished for a battle axe and charged towards Timmy, who parried the axe swung towards him with his Cold Iron sword in cold sweat.
Enraged, Remy kept swinging his axe from several directions. Nervous and fearful for his dear life, Timmy kept nimbly parrying and evading each swing.
Milo, who was still handing weapons pulled out of his backpack, noticed how Remy kept relentlessly attacking Timmy. As a gut reaction, he pulled out a round, Cold Iron shield.
"Timmy! Catch!" Milo yelled, as he tossed the large shield towards Timmy. The bucktoothed boy noticed, and leapt towards the shield, stretching his arm out just enough to grab the grip.
"Thanks, Milo", Timmy shouted back, as he reassumed a defending stance, readying himself against Remy's next attack.
Milo smiled reassured, until he felt a shadow looming over him. Alarmed, he turned around and saw an ElimiNormbot, about to strike him with a scimitar. Milo rolled away just in time to avoid the attack.
Frantically searching through his backpack to find a weapon, he noticed that he's not carrying anything made of Cold Iron anymore. Must've given everything away already. Grabbling further, he pulled out a pogo stick, right as the ElimiNormbot readied his scimitar.
Thinking on his feet, Milo decided to stab the ElimiNormbot with said pogo stick, resulting in the ElimiNormbot being pushed away with spring-loaded force. The ElimiNormbot crashed onto a wall, dropping on the floor. It was a little dazed, but quickly recomposed itself and searched his opponent.
Nearby, Phineas and Ferb were double teaming against a double-wielded ElimiNormbot, carrying two giant cleavers. They managed to evade each of the robot's attacks, and tried to counterattack it with their swords. However, their attacks didn't do much against it.
Ferb peaked to his right, noticing Melissa and Amanda trying to fight a similar ElimiNormbot, giving him an idea. He poked on Phineas's shoulder, grabbing his attention.
"Huh? What is it, Ferb?" Phineas asked.
Ferb pointed to the battle next to them, getting Phineas to notice Melissa and Amanda are in a similar predicament. Getting Phineas's attention back, he then made several gestures.
"Oh, I see what you mean", Phineas grinned.
He then jumped towards the ElimiNormbot's left.
"Hey duncebot! Over here!"
The ElimiNormbot turned around.
"I bet you cannot even hit me with those cleavers of yours", Phineas taunted. "I'm small and nimble, and you take too much time to hit anyone with those heavy blades!"
Agitated, the ElimiNormbot rose his cleavers sky high, ready to cut the triangle-headed boy in pieces...
...that is, if Ferb didn't leap onto him feet-first from behind, right as Phineas ducked.
Meanwhile, Melissa and Amanda only had shields to defend themselves against an ElimiNormbot wielding two katanas. The ElimiNormbot was about to strike...
...when Amanda heard a KLUNK from behind.
Looking behind her, she saw an ElimiNormbot being thrown towards them!
"MELISSA, LOOK OUT", she shouted, diving into her and getting out of the way.
The ElimiNormbot Ferb had pushed away promptly crashed into the ElimiNormbot that was combatting Melissa and Amanda. As an added bonus, the two ElimiNormbots also crashed against the back of an ElimiNormbot that was fighting Chloe.
"Wow", Melissa said, looking onto the carnage. "Who did that?"
"Excellent, Ferb", Phineas congratulated, as they walked towards the two girls. "You managed to hit three in one blow!"
"And I was only aiming for two", Ferb stated.
"Nice work, you two", Melissa congratulated.
"Yeah, that looked awesome!" Amanda added.
"It's nothing", Phineas said. "Anyway, we should try finding more people to help out."
"YMM CNN HLLP MM MMT", they heard.
Looking around, the four kids tried to find out where the muffled voice came from. They looked at the trashed ElimiNormbots, just when Chloe's head popped out from underneath.
"Please help me get outta here, will you?" Chloe asked somewhat agitated. "I'm stuck under all these bots."
Phineas and Ferb blushed of shame. "Whoops..."
They, Melissa and Amanda approached Chloe and lifted the ElimiNormbots with all their might in order for Chloe to escape their weight.
Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz is running about, looking around as he makes way through the fighting.
"Nope... nope... definitely nope..."
Heinz seems to be looking for something, and was so invested in it that he bumped into Rodney.
"Heinz Doofenshmirtz", the bald scientist scolded, "what the heck are you doing?"
"Oh, sorry", Doof apologized. "You see, I'm looking for Norm. Ever since this throne room has been turned into a practical warzone, he has seemingly disappeared completely! And I've looked about everywhere in this place, and I-I know everyone else is here!"
"Isn't he right over there?" Rodney asked, pointing behind him.
"No, that's just one of those ElimiNormbots, not MY Norm", Heinz denied.
"What about that one?"
"Also an ElimiNormbot."
"Any of the four looming over us?"
Heinz turned around at Rodney's question, seeing that four ElimiNormbots have followed him.
"All of them are ElimiNormbots too", Doofenshmirtz replied. "And WE are in trouble!"
Luckily, Perry, Peter, Pinky and Terry dove in and took care of one ElimiNormbot each in one fell swoop.
"Ah, thank you Perry the Platypus", Doof said. "Say, if any of you see Norm around, could you tell me where he is, then?"
Perry cocked an eyebrow, but saluted.
"You would? That's great!" Heinz grinned.
And with that, the four OWCA agents went their way to the next ElimiNormbot.
"Okay, bye", Heinz saluted back. He turned towards Rodney and said: "Well, we can't sit still either, can we? Let's find Norm already!"
"Perhaps it's that one over there", Rodney suggested.
"...You know, for an eviler, more serious evil genius, you sure aren't able to tell my Norm apart from any of these ElimiNormbots."
Meanwhile, Cavendish and Dakota... were not in a desirable position. An ElimiNormbot had managed to capture them both.
"Help! Help!" Dakota yelped.
"Well, this is gonna look bad for my image", Cavendish muttered.
Fortunately, Cosmo and Wanda were nearby, and quickly went into action.
"Eat hurty magic, robot fart", Cosmo taunted, as he and Wanda shot a magical beam towards the ElimiNormbot.
Which it absorbed.
"Oh no, it can still absorb weapons!" Wanda noted.
"Wait, how do the others not absorb the other weapons, then?" Cosmo asked.
"Good question", Wanda replied. "I guess it's because they don't use projectiles?"
The ElimiNormbot then swapped its claws out for star-tipped wands, emanating a glow similar to the one Cosmo and Wanda's wands made earlier.
"Cosmo, watch out", Wanda warned. "That ElimiNormbot's going to use the same attack against us!"
Suddenly, as the ElimiNormbot fired its magic beam, some kind of stopwatch is tossed between the robot and the fairy duo. Miraculously enough, the stopwatch was able to halt the beam and fizzle it out, as the stopwatch fell on the ground.
"Huh?"
Cosmo, Wanda, Cavendish, Dakota and the ElimiNormbot were all five confused, looking at the stopwatch with perplexity. Looking more thoroughly at the object, however, both Wanda and Cavendish knew they recognized this specific stopwatch.
"Hold on", she mused. "Isn't that-"
Wanda couldn't finish her sentence before the ElimiNormbot had been surprise-attacked from behind by Brick and Savannah, allowing Dakota and Cavendish to be freed from the ElimiNormbot's grasp as it got destroyed.
"...the Time-Stop Watch, yes", Savannah finished Wanda's thoughts.
"Oof, well, thanks a million, Brick and Savannah", Cavendish said politely.
"Yeah, don't mention it", Brick scoffed.
"Wait, I don't get it", Cosmo wondered. "How can that stopwatch thing block the hurty magic?"
After a bit of pondering, Wanda said: "I think I got it. Remember when Crocker wondered that there may be a connection between fairy magic and time travel?"
"I don't exactly know what you're getting at, but some of the gadgets we have at the BOTT, like the Time-Stop Watch, have a fuel tank inside made of Cold Iron", Savannah revealed. "It's one of the few materials that is completely unaffected by Time Juice, which makes canisters made of Cold Iron great fuel tanks for gadgets that requires delicate usage of Time Juice."
"Another similarity to Fairy Magic", Wanda noted. "Both are resisted by Cold Iron."
"Do you think Time Juice is just a result of some kind of time-specific Fairy Magic?" Cosmo asked.
Wanda shrugged.
"I suppose that's something to think about later", Dakota said. "Right now, we should help the others out."
While the entire massive throne room is cluttered with carnage, Dark Trixie did nothing but observe from her and Remy's throne.
She observed everything in the throne room: from Phineas, Ferb, Melissa, Amanda and Chloe helping out Tootie, Chester and AJ, to Veronica assisting Perry, Peter, Pinky and Terry fighting another quartet of ElimiNormbots, eventually joined by Monogram and Carl.
Something inside her kept nagging that she should know almost all of those people here. Weirder, that same something was saying she should be rooting for them.
But she knew that those were enemies! And that Remy was the only one for her! That weird feeling insider her was just completely wrong, that must've been it.
She decided to look at her king again. There Remy was, valiantly attacking his adversary. His handsome, courageous adversary with the cute bucktooth, who bravely shielded every attack while determinedly looking at Remy with those beautiful sky blue eyes.
...
"Wait, what?" Dark Trixie thought.
Inside the mind prison, Trixie and Shadow Trixie were sitting in front of the Dark Trixievision, watching what Dark Trixie was seeing.
Shadow Trixie was physically annoyed. Not because of what was going on outside of the mind... but rather how her prisoner reacted to it.
"YEAAAH, ATTA BOY! WOOT WOOT! GOOOOO TIMMY!" Trixie cheered boisterously. Clearly, she was just as excited about her hero as a general sports fan would be about their favorite team. And it got Shadow Trixie irritated.
Zoning out from Trixie's gushing and cheering, Shadow Trixie randomly looked around, being reminded by those annoying red crevices again.
But something about those crevices made the shadowy manifestation raise her eyebrow.
"Hold on a second", she thought, "I could've sworn those cracks were smaller a while ago."
Shadow Trixie pondered. "Are her actions so wild that they prove just as barbaric as her bashing against the walls?"
As much as it pained her, she decided to look at her spirit-like prisoner again. But nothing about her movements suggest anything like a force powerful enough to match such bashing. Not even the pattering of her feet was even close to match it.
However, Shadow Trixie did notice that the crevices were getting bigger and bigger regardless.
In fact, the more Trixie showed excitement, the more often the crevices grew.
"Has the girl's bashing made this prison weak enough for literally anything to penetrate it now?" Shadow Trixie began to wonder, before shaking her head. "No, that's just dumb! There must be a different reason."
She began thinking, and thinking, before her eyes widened.
"What if it never was that barbaric bashing to begin with?!"
Meanwhile, the war between Remy's forces and basically the rest was still ongoing. It appears that ElimiNormbots are getting sidelined more frequently, especially when the groups are getting bigger and bigger.
Though Remy was still hacking and slashing at Timmy, who kept shielding himself.
"RAAAGH", Remy yelled, as he was about to strike again with his battle axe.
That was, until a giant anchor was tossed at the axe, causing Remy to lose it.
Remy peered at the direction of where the anchor came from, as his eyes widened.
Phineas, Ferb, Milo, Melissa, Amanda, Chester, AJ, Chloe, Tootie, Buford, Baljeet, Irving, Perry, Veronica, Monogram, Carl, Peter, Pinky, Terry, Doofenshmirtz, Rodney, Vanessa, Crocker, Cosmo, Wanda, Jorgen, Berri, Toria, Cupid, Juandissimo, Cavendish, Dakota, Brick, Savannah, Mr Block, Gretchen, Vicky, Mark, Mrs Tang...
All of them were behind Timmy, with no ElimiNormbot in sight.
"...How?!" Remy asked exasperated.
"Oh, that's simple", Phineas said. "Some of us combined powers and wits to beat your ElimiNormbots easily, then teamed up with the others. And teamed up again, and again, and again."
"Nono, I meant to ask how you got that anchor", Remy clarified.
"Oh, that's mine", Milo replied. "Jorgen tossed it, since it's a bit heavy."
"Which I was easily able to do since it's a regular iron anchor", Jorgen added. "Either way, your puny game is over now. Now you have no choice to surrender and show up on Fairy Court."
Remy groaned. This was an unacceptable answer for him. It felt way too soon to him. Those ElimiNormbot shouldn't be defeated THAT easily!
But then, he noticed how sweaty and tired his opposition looked. He grinned. He grabbed the rod of his Fairy-Magic-Inizor and shouted: "I wish the broken ElimiNormbots were fully repaired!"
Pressing the red button, a blue ray crackled towards the ElimiNormbots. In an instant, they were fixed and looked brand new, quickly surrounding Remy's enemies again.
"But my king, if they could defeat our army last time, wouldn't they do it again?" Dark Trixie asked.
"Heh, you know, your 'love' brings a good point", Timmy smirked.
Remy, however, didn't remove his own smirk either.
"Ah, but that's what you think", he gloated. "But look at you! You have put so much effort in defeating my army, that you're in some serious need for rest."
He folded his arms. "But robots don't get tired. Sure, they get broken, but that's easily negated with repair magic at my disposal. Tireless, insta-repair robots, being pit against slumped, sweaty being in dire need of a bit of rest... I guess it's obvious who has the advant-"
Suddenly, all the ElimiNormbots get zapped away. Remy wasn't even able to finish his sentence.
"OH COME ON" he shouted.
The group of heroes turned around to look for any clarification at the sudden disappearing act.
Heinz elated when he and the rest saw his huge man robot Norm, alongside many of the other people that were forced to fight in the castle halls.
"Norm! It's so good to see you", Doof exclaimed. "Where were you?!"
"OH, I WAS HELPING ALL THESE EXTRAS BY USING THE AWAY-INATOR ON THE ELIMINORMBOTS THEY WERE FIGHTING", Norm explained. "IT WAS A LOT, BUT IT MADE THINGS MUCH EASIER!"
"No fair!" Remy roared.
"AH, THERE'S OUR LITTLE TROUBLEMAKER AGAIN", Norm noticed. "I THINK I SHOULD USE THE AWAY-INATOR ON YOU AS WELL. DON'T WORRY, WE WILL GET YOU BACK, ONCE EVERY THING IS BACK TO NORMAL."
"How about I wish your stupid Away-Inator away instead?!" Remy proclaimed, using the Fairy-Magic-Inizor to grant said wish.
A cyan beam shot out of the star tip and made the Away-Inator on Norm's head disappear.
"Hey! I still use that thing regularly", Doofenshmirtz complained.
"Well, too bad, old man!" Remy shouted. "You're taking MY things away too! MY godparents, MY girlfriend, MY kingdom! Don't be a baby about that dumb helmet!"
"None of those things were ever yours to begin with", Jorgen shouted back.
"You know what, I'll wish your wands away, too!"
Remy pressed the button, and all the Fairy Wands and Anti-Fairy Wands disappeared as well.
"And I might as well do this, too!"
Remy went to his throne. He pulled the armrest upward to reveal a red button, then pressed it.
Suddenly, a cage of Cold Iron dropped on nearly the entire throne room, trapping everyone aside from Remy, Timmy and Dark Trixie.
Then Remy stepped and stood onto Timmy's back, forcing the bucktoothed kid to lie down.
"I am so sick of this!" Remy claimed. "Even when things are going MY way, you guys ALWAYS try to RUIN it! But now you forced my hand..."
Remy snapped his fingers. "Trixie dear, get my axe!"
"But of course, my sugarpie!" Dark Trixie obeyed, fetching the battle axe thrown away earlier.
"Remy, please don't tell me that you're going..." Timmy spoke.
"...to chop your head clear off your body?" Remy finished Timmy's thought. "I'm sorry Timothy, but that's exactly what I'm going to do. In fact, perhaps I should've done it as soon as I got you imprisoned here!"
"NO! Think of the age restrictions", Irving pleaded.
"Remy, don't do it", Juandissimo pleaded. "It's not worth it!"
Remy thought. "You know what, maybe I won't", he finally said.
Every of the imprisoned sighed of relief.
"...It's much more satisfying if Trixie has the honors instead!" Remy grinned.
Now everyone wished they hadn't sighed of relief.
"You want ME to end the unknown peasant's miserable life?" Dark Trixie asked, still holding the axe.
"But of course!" Remy stated as if it was obvious. "Nothing's more delicious than the sweet irony of this blight being offed by the girl of his dreams!"
He looked down to Timmy. "Any last words, Turner?"
Timmy wanted to open his mouth, but then noticed something about Dark Trixie.
The green sheen in her eyes.
Was it him... or did it seem a bit dimmer than a few hours ago?
Timmy had decided. He said: "Whatever I'm saying, those aren't going to be my last words."
Remy was disappointed with that reply.
"I expected something better from you", he said. "Well, whatever. Trixie, off with his head."
Dark Trixie stepped forward and raised the axe, much to everyone's horror.
However...
She hesitated a bit.
Did she really want to kill this peasant? Something still nagged her that this was someone dear to her life.
Then, all of a sudden, her mind was blank.
Trixie could not believe her eyes when she saw it on the Trixievision.
Remy was going to let her own body kill Timmy.
Shadow Trixie, despite still nervous about something, couldn't help herself.
"Heh! Look at the irony", she taunted. "That dumb bucktoothed kid is going to be assassinated by the girl he claims to love most! You are going to chop the head off of the kid you claim to like so much!"
"No... it cannot be!" Trixie exclaimed fearfully.
"See for yourself", Shadow Trixie smirked, "you know it to be true."
"NO... I'm not going to allow it!" Trixie cried.
When Trixie said that, Shadow Trixie noticed something odd. The crevices grew even bigger, to the point that the red overtook the black.
Not only that, but the red began glowing.
And above all...
She... felt weaker.
"Wh-what's going on?!" Shadow Trixie asked herself.
"There may come a day when Timmy may fall, and that our bonds get forsaken by the events that have happened", Trixie spoke, ignoring Shadow Trixie, "but that day isn't going to be today!"
The red glow faded into pink.
"There may come a day when my hopes get shattered and I have to accept Remy as my boyfriend and future husband, forgetting Timmy even existed", Trixie continued, "but that day is not gonna be today!"
The pink glow faded into white. Shadow Trixie in turn became lavender.
"Today, I will stand up and end this charade", Trixie claimed. "I will reclaim my body!"
"D-dude", Shadow Trixie tried to reason, "you-you're stuck here, remember?"
"Not anymore soon", Trixie grinned. "You think I didn't notice how big those crevices got?"
Shadow Trixie gaped, speechless.
"Y-you knew about the results of that bar-barbaric bashing?"
"...You thought that those crevices were the results of physically harming this confined space?" Trixie asked. "Kinda weird, I thought you knew better about the prison you made yourself!"
"Well, there wasn't anything else that seemed realistic... aside from-"
"True love, you dummy!" Trixie said. "You said it yourself!"
Shadow Trixie was speechless again.
"N-noooo... that's impossible..." the shadowy manifestation uttered.
"Is so", Trixie said. "I only need one final push..."
She looked at the Trixievision again.
And saw that her body was about to strike!
"Noo! Nooo!" Trixie cried desperately, clamoring onto the monitor.
"...aaaaand there's that final push", Shadow Trixie uttered her last words, as she felt herself fading away.
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
Dark Trixie shouted, as her eyes shone a very bright white, dropping the axe, missing Timmy by a few centimeters. During this process, a dark purple shadow-like creature emerged from her mouth, and disintegrated while it looked like it was in pain.
After that, her body dropped down next to Timmy, eyes closed.
Everyone gaped with mouths open in awe, as they stared at the motionless body in anticipation.
After what felt like an hour, but was only a few seconds, the body's eyelids started to whimper, quickly followed by them fluttering open.
Timmy, being so close to her, was the first to see her eyes.
White sclera.
Beautiful ocean blue irises.
No green glow in sight.
Dark Trixie was no more.
The real Trixie is back.
Author's Note: Finally, no more body-possessing, mind-controlling shenanigans! Trixie Tang is back, and we're gonna see more of her in the next chapter!
I'm sorry if I couldn't include a moment for everyone in this chapter. I want to get this story finished, and this chapter was already getting long (just like the last one, in fact). It's also the first time I've written a group of battlefield scenes like this. I wasn't sure I was able to pull it off, and I hope you enjoyed it regardless.
We're at the final stretch! I'm still hoping I can get them done ASAP, but I guess we will see in the future. See ya!
