Timmy watched as Tecna searched every tumbled over book shelf and table for the gold book.
"Tecna" Timmy said with a small yawn. "What are you talking about? We can't bring Eleana and her friends back from the past. What good will it do?"
"Because Timmy," Tecna said as she continued to search. "Eleana and her friends are the only ones who have enough experience with the Witches of Traldayor to be able to help us. Also, Eleana told me that a guardian's Cosmix doesn't just get passed down to the next generation leaving them powerless, even though they are from a century ago, they still have their Cosmix powers."
Timmy stood behind Tecna still a little confused.
"What?" Timmy said confused.
"We can go back to the past and bring the guardians to our time where they will have Cosmix powers. Then they will be able to regain the treasures back for us which will give us an opportunity to defeat the witches and hopefully bring back the others" Tecna explained as she flipped over a piece of wood. "I found it" she cried finding the gold book underneath.
"Tecna, this is crazy" Timmy said approaching Tecna. "We can't bring the others back."
Tecna whipped her head around to face Timmy.
"I'm doing this, whether you're coming or not" Tecna said seriously. "You can either sit here or you can come to the past with me and at least try to save the universe and give our friends a second chance."
Timmy looked at Tecna and saw all the pain in them masked behind determination. He had just got Tecna's forgiveness back again. Would he really want to do anything to jeopardise it again? What if she was telling the truth? What if the guardians did hold some answers. As he looked into Tecna's eyes, he knew that he trusted her more than anything, and if she wanted to do this, then he was joining her.
"Alright. Where do we start first?" Timmy asked with a smile.
Tecna's face lit up with a huge smile and she jumped Timmy with a hug, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Thank you, Timmy" Tecna said and she parted from the hug.
Tecna went back to what she was doing and she picked up the gold book and placed it on a nearby table. She and Timmy sat around the table and Tecna opened the book.
"Here it is" Tecna said flipping to the spell that she needed.
"So, what's going to happen?" Timmy asked
"Well, this spell will send us to the past and then we will say this spell," Tecna said pointing to the spell on the right. "To send us and the guardians back to our time."
"But how will we save the others?"
"With this spell" Tecna said still pointing to the spell on the right. "We can choose what time to be sent to. All we have to do is imagine the time five minutes before the witches summoned the Cosmic Void and won the battle, then Eleana and her friends will use their Cosmix powers to steal the treasures back, and in affect, save the others from destruction."
"Very impressive" Timmy said with a smile.
"Then let's do this" Tecna replied.
Tecna took her left hand and held Timmy's right hand. She was about to start chanting when Timmy stopped her.
"Wait" Timmy interrupted. "Are you sure you have enough power to do this?"
"Yes" Tecna replied.
"But, if you say this spell, will you have enough to send us back, or will you be able to defend yourself because we will be returning to the battle. You could die then."
"Timmy, don't worry about me. We will have Eleana and hopefully my treasure back."
"I just hope that you know what you're doing."
"Don't you trust me?"
"Of course I do. I just want you to be safe."
"I know you do, but I can do this. I want my friends back, and I know you do to. If something happens to my powers, I know that you will protect me. I trust you."
"You do?" Timmy said shocked.
"I do."
"But with everything that has happened-"
Before Timmy could finish his sentence, a pair of soft lips met his and brought him into a soft quick kiss.
"Do you really want to go down that road again?"
"Right" Timmy said shutting up.
Tecna smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and turned to the spell before them.
"Free our souls from their shells,
See where the lost spirits dwell,
We need their help for our gain,
Allow us to return again"
Bright lights appeared from the ceiling above them and came swirling around them. A crash of thunder sounded and the couple were transported to another time.
Alrum barged through the castle of Solaria storming her way through the castle. As she stormed her way through the palace, paintings of Stella and King Radius were blown off the walls and thrown all over the place. The light in the castle darkened as she walked passed.
"Stop right there!" a stern voice yelled from a top of the ballroom stairs.
Alrum looked up at the group of the palace guards with their weapons armed at the ready.
"I took down your king" Alrum yelled at the guards. "Do you really think those pathetic weapons are a match for me?"
"I will not ask you again" the head guard said.
Alrum smirked seeing the guards not backing down. "Alright then."
Alrum's eyes glowed gold and the glass windows in the ballroom began smashing. Screeches echoed throughout the palace as the shadow figures came up through the tiles on the floor. They screeched seeing the guards. The light outside the palace became dark.
"This is my palace now" Alrum smirked
The shadows screeched again as Alrum finished her sentence off. The only thing that was sounded in the abandoned and dark realm was the sound of the guards' cries echoing from the palace.
The people of Tides laughed happily as they sat on the shores of their realm swimming in the waves. The children laughed happily as they splashed each other with the water. The adults smiled watching the happy children as they lied down in the sun's rays. The King and Queen of Tides stood on their balcony of the palace watching their happy citizens. They had no idea about the dangers that were about to befall their realm that took their daughter away from them.
Everything was peaceful and tranquil until a sudden thundering was heard from far away in the ocean. The children stopped laughing and the adults and King and Queen stopped and looked far into the distance. A massive thick black cloud formed in the distance above the waves. Lightening flashed in the cloud and the thunder came louder. The cloud was slowly heading its way straight to the palace and beach where most of the citizens were. The waves in the ocean grew fierce and grew stronger pulls. The children in the water screamed as the pull of the waves began dragging the children out to sea. Parents screamed as they rushed into the water to save their kids. Dark energy swirled around the cloud forcing lightening to hit the beaches. People screamed as they avoided the dark magic befalling them. Loud screeches echoed and large sonic birds appeared flying out from the cloud and swooping down to the beach and throughout the entire city. Electrical demons zipped through power lines throughout the city and destroying anything they came across as they appeared on the streets. Large sparks of electricity shot out of the power lines and hit cars on the streets. Cold winds started blowing a gale originating from the cloud causing tree branches to fall on the ground. The King and Queen stood on their balcony watching the destruction occurring due to the massive storm cloud.
"What is going on?" The Queen said horrified by the distressed citizens.
Loud and spine tingling cackles echoed as the cloud now hovered above the palace itself.
"What's going on is; is we're taking over" a voice said and a hole in the ceiling of the palace exploded and the remaining witches flew through the hole into the palace.
The King and Queen turned around to face the witches.
"Who are you?" The King demanded pulling his sword out of its holster.
"Us?" Procella questioned floating down to the floor and slowly walking towards the King and Queen. "We are the Witches of Traldayor, and this is my realm now!"
As soon as Procella said that, her eyes glowed dark midnight blue and large mud creatures came crashing through the ceiling, landing right next to the King and Queen. The thunder roared like a building collapsing and a large tsunami was summoned and approached the palace and the realm itself.
"Surrender to me, or face the fate of your precious Princess Layla" Procella threatened as her glowing eyes intensified.
Tecna and Timmy flew through a large white worm hole. Tecna screamed as the two of them flew towards a bright beam of light. Within seconds, Tecna and Timmy passed through the white light and were transported to the past.
The lake house was quiet and peaceful. The sun shone brightly in the sky allowing its rays to fall on the lake. The birds sang beautifully as Kiama sat under the tree playing her flute. Liana was in her bikini sitting by the lake with her feet in the water. Sasha was standing on top of the water, standing on a morphix board as she created morphix and used her powers to spin it around. Maia and Eleana were practicing archery, with Maia currently winning, as Tara was busy polishing her sword.
"Girls" Tara said as she polished her sword. "I know that we defeated the Witches of Traldayor, and that it's a gorgeous sunny day, but shouldn't we be busy figuring out a way to deliver the treasures back to where they came from?"
"You are so tense, Tara" Liana said putting on a pair of sunglasses. "We defeated the witches. You just need to relax."
"I can't relax when enemies could show up at any time" Tara rebutted.
"But we defeated the witches" Kiama said interrupting her flute playing.
All of a sudden a large white worm hole appeared in the air. Thunder roared as Tecna and Timmy fell through the worm hole and landed in a heap on the ground.
"Girls, battle formations" Tara yelled. "Let's go Cosmix!"
The girls jumped up from their places and transformed. Once they were transformed they all flew up into the air and were in an attacking stance ready to fire. Their hands all started glowing their respected colours and aimed at Tecna and Timmy.
"Wait, wait, wait" Tecna said getting off Timmy.
Tecna walked into the centre of the circle, that the guardians made themselves, as they hovered in the air.
"It's me, Tecna" Tecna said to calm the situation down.
"Tecna?" Eleana said curiously.
"Yes" Tecna replied. "Remember Eleana, I'm one of your ancestors."
The other guardians turned to look at Eleana who slowly lowered her hands down. Eleana slowly flew back down to the ground and walked up to Tecna. Timmy stood up from the ground and walked up behind Tecna.
"Thomas?" Eleana said to Timmy.
Tecna turned to look at Timmy and raised her eyebrow.
"Eleana, remember us; Tecna and Timmy. You visited me in my dreams last night and told me to find you in your time. My friends and I visited you a while ago when you just finished defeating the Witches of Traldayor" Tecna reasoned.
Eleana looked straight into Tecna's eyes carefully.
"Tecna" Timmy whispered. "Remember Eleana and her friends spoke to us in a vision when they defeated the witches. They won't remember talking to us. Are you sure this is the right Eleana you spoke to last night?"
"Tecna" Eleana said slowly forcing Tecna and Timmy to look back at Eleana. "From the realm of Zenith. You and your friends are the next guardians, correct?"
"Yes!" Tecna said happily.
"Tecna" Eleana yelled realising who it was and she gave Tecna a hug. "I'm so sorry. We all forgot about the vision where we first met you and your boyfriends."
The other girls in the air looked at Eleana and all realised who Tecna was. They all slowly flew back down to the ground and walked up to Tecna.
"I'm so sorry about that" Eleana apologised. "It's been a while since we first met you two. What are you doing here?"
"Oh" Tecna said a little stunned. "You visited me in my dream last night. Do you remember that?"
Eleana raised her eyebrow at Tecna. "No, I'm afraid I don't" she replied.
"Oh, well, it must've been a future version of you" Tecna said. "Look, we came here looking for help."
"What's wrong?" Maia asked.
"Did you manage to retrieve the treasure back?" Tara asked.
Tecna shook her head slowly and her eyes began to tear up. Timmy walked closer to Tecna and placed a comforting hand of her shoulder.
"We….we tried to get them back" Tecna began trying to force herself not to cry. "But the witches were too strong. They used our treasures to summon the Cosmic Void."
The guardians gasped in horror.
"We all tried to stop them. We even tried using our enchantix powers, but" Tecna stopped as tears were slowly rolling down her face. "The witches used the Cosmic Void and….the others….they didn't make it."
The guardians gasped again and Eleana pulled Tecna into a hug.
"They're gone, Eleana. Timmy and I are the only two left" Tecna continued pulling away from the hug and wiping her tears away.
"Why are you here?" Liana asked sadly.
"Eleana said that you girls still have your Cosmix powers and can use them in our time even though you don't exist in our time" Timmy informed them as Tecna finished wiping her tears.
"So we thought if you could come to our time, to the time just before the witches summoned the Cosmic Void and destroyed the others, you could use your Cosmix powers to retrieve the treasures for us, and we could save the others" Tecna added.
Everyone was silent for a moment as they thought about Tecna's plan. It was true that the guardians could use their Cosmix powers in Tecna's time, but would it work to retrieve the treasures back? The girls thought long and hard, but they all knew that it had to be a unanimous decision. Eleana nodded and turned to Maia. Maia looked at Eleana and smiled and nodded then looked at Liana. Liana looked at Tecna and saw the sadness and desperation in her eyes. She then nodded and turned to look at Kiama. Kiama turned to look at Liana and instantly nodded.
"No one messes with my ancestor and gets away with it" Kiama said and turned to look at Sasha.
Sasha saw Kiama look at her. She looked up at the sky and thought about Tecna's plan again. She thought about it for about a minute. She then smirked and nodded too then turned to look at the final vote, Tara. Tara saw all of the other girls looking at her. Their eyes were full of anxiety and sadness for Tecna. Tara looked at each and every one of them and then looked at Tecna and Timmy. Tecna was now looking at the ground hoping that they would say yes. Timmy held Tecna and hoped that their planning wouldn't go to waste. Tara kept thinking for another few minutes and then made up her mind. She slowly walked up to Tecna, forcing Tecna to look up and meet Tara's gaze.
"So when do we meet these new witches that dare mess with us kin?" Tara smirked.
Tecna's eyes widened and she had the biggest smile on her face.
"Really? You guys are coming with us?" Tecna asked to double check.
"Of course" Tara replied.
Tecna instantly pulled Tara and Eleana into a hug.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you" Tecna said happily as tears of joy rolled down her face.
"Well, come on Tecna" Liana said determined. "We better hurry. Who knows how many realms these witches have conquered?"
"Okay" Tecna said wiping her tears of joy from her face.
Tecna held Timmy and Eleana's hands.
"Everyone join hands and concentrate on my time, but during the last battle with the witches" Tecna instructed.
Everyone joined hands with Timmy and Eleana and stood in a circle.
"From lands afar in time and space,
Take us now from this, their place,
To that dwell so must remain,
And send us back to our domain."
A large worm hole appeared above everyone's heads and a bright white light shone down on the group. With a loud clash of thunder, the group slowly began rising into the air and passed through the worm hole. Once everyone passed through, the worm hole closed.
Happy New Year everyone!
