Chapter 16


Ten minutes later they had Wes locked in a metal crate with a circular glass window showing only his face. Valerie stood on top of the crate and tightened the bolts, she then looked won at Danny and Star-Dust who looked at them all in disappointment, Valerie turned her head and hopped off the top of the crate as they started loading it up onto the truck.

--

The soldiers kept Danny, Star-Dust and the Atlantians surrounding them back, Danny glared at the soldiers as Dash pulled the crank on the truck and the crate was pulled on the back.

--

"So I guess this is how it ends huh? Fine. You win. You're wiping out an entire civilisation but hey, you'll be rich!" Danny said. "Congratulations Valerie. I guess you'll be able to open that garage with your dad after all!" Star-Dust saidwithangeras she comfortedMary who was sobbing a lot.

--

Valerie stopped and looked down in guilt, but didn't face Danny and just hopped into the driver's seat of the truck. Danny then said, "And Tucker you'll be able to open hundreds of labs to create hundreds of new technology!"

--

Tucker sighed and wouldn't look at Danny and Star-Dust either. The other members such as Dash, Lunch Lady and Spectra looked down feeling guilt and regret as well.

--

"Cause that's what it's all about right? Money." Danny finished with disgust.

--

Walker continued to grin however and walked up to Danny as he said, "Lay off the soap operas Fenton. You've read Darwin, its natural selection and we're just helping it along." Star-Dust kicked Walker in the nuts again as she said "That's for being mean to my big brother!" And she kicked Walker one time in the nuts " AND THATS FOR BEING A JERK!" Walker winced at the pain before. ("How can a little girl for her size and weight be that strong.") he thought to himself.

--

"Walker we're ready!" Ember said trying her best not to laugh of what Star-Dust just did.

--

"Yeah alright give me a minute." Walker said. "Now I know I'm forgetting something. Let's see the cargo, the crystal, the crew…Oh yeah."

--

And without hesitation, Walker punched Danny right the jaw sending straight to the ground and the picture of him with his dad fell out of his bag. As he sat up, Walker stood on the picture and broke the frame's glass before he could pick it up.

--

"Look at this way punks, you and your little sister were the one who discovered Atlantis and now you two are part of the exhibit!" Walker said with a cruel chuckle as Danny glared at him and wiped the blood off his mouth from the punch. Mary held Star-Dust back as she said "THATS IT LET ME AT HIM LET ME AT HIM!!" Mary was still holding Star-Dust tightly. "Oh and by the way, your powers won't reactivate for another two hours so not only your healing abilities won't help bring the pain down from that punch but you won't be able to follow us!" Walker said again.

--

Valerie, Dash, Tucker, Spectra and Lunch Lady looked at Danny and Star-Dust sadly as Danny took the picture out of the frame and looked at it with sadness. Walker then ordered, "Let's move people!"

--

Valerie made no move to start the truck, Ember then said, "That was an order not a suggestion. Let's move!"

--

Valerie shut the truck door but still made no movement to start it. She then sighed and opened the door and jumped out of the truck, they all watched as she walked over to Danny and Star-Dust and helped him stand up as Mary healed Danny's sore cheek, and she then glared at them all showing that she made her decision to stick with Danny and Star-Dust. Tucker nodded and then walked over to them and stood by Danny's and Star-Dust's side too.

--

Suddenly Dash and Lunch Lady came over and stood with them, showing they had made their decision to stick with Danny and Star-Dust as well, spectra took one last puff of her cigarette and walked over to them as she said, "We're all gonna die."

--

They all crossed their arms at Walker who saw them and said, "You can't be serious."

--

"This is wrong and you know it Walker!" Valerie shouted. "Danny and Star-Dust are right. Money is not worth wiping an entire culture off the face of the Earth!"

--

"We're this close to our biggest pay day ever and you pick now of all times to grow a conscience?" Walker asked in disbelief.

--

"Hey we did a lot of things we're not proud of such as robbing graves, plundering tombs, double parking but this…this is just going way to far dude." Tucker said.

--

"If that's the way you want it fine! More for me." Walker said as he got into the truck Valerie was meant to be driving.

--

The trucks then drove off and as soon as they left the city over the bridge, the waterfalls stopped flowing and they all turned around to see everyone's crystals had dimmed down from the loss of their power source.

--

"We can't let them do this!" Danny shouted and was about to go after them but Tucker held him back and said "Wait a second."

--

As soon as Walker and the other truck got over the bridge, Walker pushed a button and set off the dynamite that we set under the bridge and it exploded in a fiery flame, everyone ducked as debris was thrown everywhere and Danny and Tucker looked up to see that there was no longer a bridge standing over the lava below.

--

"Okay now you can go." Tucker said sarcastically like.

--

Skulker from the palace came down and said to Danny and Star-Dust, "Excuse me but your doctor told me to come and get you two."

--

Danny and Star-Dust followed Skulker back to the throne room and saw Kwan listening to Clockwork's core and looking down solemnly. Danny then asked, "How's he doing?"

--

Kwan shook his head as he pulled back his stethoscope, "Not good I'm afraid. The Blood Blossom poison has spread too quickly and my anti-venom isn't strong enough to stop it. There's nothing more I can do.."

--

"What a nightmare!" Star-Dust said. "And we brought it here." Danny said looking down in guilt and regret.

--

"Hey don't go beating yourself up guys." Kwan said. "Walker has been after that crystal since Iceland."

--

Danny then remembered when Wes had used his crystal to heal his wound from the crash and said as he held up Clockwork's crystal, "Wait Kwan we can use his crystal. They have some kind of healing energy and it might work to cure the poison."

--

"No." Clockwork said as he stopped Danny. "Where's my Son and youngest daughter? Where's Wesley and Mary?"

--

"Well Mary is with Valerie and Wes…he….well..It's hard to explain what happened." Danny said with a sigh.

--

"He has been chosen like his mother before him." Clockwork said weakly.

--

"What do you mean?" Danny asked.

--

"In times of danger, the crystal would chose a host from the royal family to protect itself and its people. It will except no other." Clockwork explained.

--

"So this crystal is alive?" Star-Dust and Danny asked in unison.

--

Clockwork nodded and answered, "In a way. The crystal thrives on the collected emotions on all who came before us, in return it provides power, longevity and protection for all of us. As it grew, it developed a consciousness of its own…."

--

Clockwork stopped for a moment as he started getting weaker from the poison before continuing, "In my arrogance, I sought to use the crystal as a weapon of war but its power proved to be too great to control, it overwhelmed us and led to our destruction."

--

"So that's why you hid it down beneath the city" Danny said in realisation. "To keep history from repeating itself?" Star-Dust added.

--

"And to prevent Wesley from suffering the same fate as my beloved wife." Clockwork said.

--

"What do you mean? What's gonna happen to Wes?" Danny asked. Clockwork groaned and answered, "If he remains bonded to the crystal, he could be lost to it forever."

--

"The love of my son and youngest daughter is all I have left in this world. My burden would have become his when the time was right." He said. He then took off his crystal and held it out to Danny as and then he took another Crystal and held it to Star-Dust he said, "But now it falls to you young halfa, and you young angel-ghost."

--

"Us?" Danny and Star-Dust asked feeling unsure as they grabbed the crystals. Clockwork then grabbed Danny's hand and said, "Return the crystal, save Atlantis….save my son."

--

Clockwork's hand then went limp and with one last groan, he died before them. Danny and Star-Dust gasped but then they closed there eyes in a moment's silence. Bertrand and Skulker kneeled before their now fully dead king and mourned silently, Clockwork's body then started fading and then in one last flash of light, it disappeared from the world forever.
