"I'm afraid I'll have to stop here, you guys" said Peter, stopping in front of the entrance to Pixie Hollow.

"What? Why?" Skully asked, taking the last sip of his growing potion to grow to normal size.

"This is your journey from now on, brave pirates. So, me and Tinker Bell have to stop now" he explained.

"Wow... That's deep" said Cubby jokingly.

"Sheesh" Jake agreed.

Izzy just let out a small chuckle at her friend's antics.

"Maybe she isn't so bad?" Tinker Bell thought confusedly. But then she remembered something.

She flew back to the tree, and came back carrying a yellow pouch. She handed it to Izzy, and tried speaking, only to remember that they couldn't understand her.

"Oh right! Good thinking, Tink. Guys, this is a pouch of Pixie Dust. It'll help you in your journey. But remember, you can only use it in case of an emergency. A small pinch can go a long way" said Peter.

They thanked him and went on their way.

Peter Pan had given them a map to follow to the entrance of the forever tree. They were at the entrance, where they saw a door. Opening the door was a task. They tried pushing, pulling, kicking, punching, and skully even tried to feed it a cracker. Nothing worked.

"STOP!" a voice shrieked from the bushes.

The others turned around to look at who shouted.

"We go away for a toilet break and intruders show up. Couldn't you have chosen a better time for this?!?" the second person shouted.

"Calm down..." the first person said. He seemed to be used to this temper.

They were both dressed in knight armour, with the crest of Neverland on their chestplates. They looked identical, except for the colour of their armour. The first one who seemed calmer than the second was wearing silver armour with sections of blue. The second one was wearing gold armour with sections of red.

"Now, what was our line again?" the second one asked, trying to remember something.

"You have come to the entrance of the forever tree!" the first one shouted.

"Do you wish to enter?!" the second one shouted, er, asked.

"Yes" Izzy replied.

"One of us tells the TRUTH, and the other, only tells LIES" the first one said.

"It is your task to guess which one of us is which!" the second one said.

"Hmm... I've read this somewhere..." Skully said, trying to remember where he read it.

"It's like, we have to ask who is the liar or something and then there's more complicated stuff which I don't remember" said Jake.

"Well if you don't remember how are we gonna know?" Cubby asked.

"Let's think about this in a sinple way..." said Izzy, walking up to the second knight.

"Hey, what's 22?" she asked.

"Four" the second knight replied.

Hearing this, she already knew the answer to their task. But, just to make sure, she walked up to the first knight.

"Hey, what's 22?"

"Six thousand fifty two" the first knight replied, clearing all her doubts.

"Oooh smart!!" Jake beamed.

"So the knight in blue is the liar while the knight in red tells the truth" Cubby summed up, amused.

"Correct!" the knights said together, moving away from the entrance to make way for the others.

"Well that was unexpectedly easy..." Skully said, flying to the door.

"Yeah... I wonder if there's anything else..." said Jake, opening the door and stepping inside the room, only to realize that it wasn't a room. It was a channel of slides, which Jake and his crew was now sliding down in. And they were screaming.

"AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!""

"WHAT IS THIS PLACE?!?!?"

"STOP SCREAMING YOU TWO!!"

"I'm lucky that I can fly... I get to watch this show"

As you can see, very chaotic.

After calming down, they started to look around. It was a dark room, except for the light coming from the ground. The slide soon went into a room, and twisted around the walls, allowing them to see what was in the middle. The forever tree, growing tall and beautiful. It looked just fine, except... Some of it's leaves were withering away and falling down...

After reaching the end, they started inspecting.

Jake was walking around the tree, looking at anything suspicious. Cubby was looking at areas around the tree, to see if the "mysterious troublemaker" had left any clue. Skully flew up to the branches to check for anything. And Izzy was examining the fallen, withered leaves to see what the problem was.

"This has never, ever happened according to "The History of the Forever Tree"" she said, flipping through the pages violently.

"Hey, hey... Stop torturing that poor book" said Jake, placing a hand on Izzy's shoulder.

"Yeah... sorry, just stressed" she admitted.

"Don't worry, we'll find out what the problem is!" Cubby assured.

"The leaves keep falling..." said Skully, coming down from looking at the tree.

"Hey... look" said Izzy, going towards the tree. She walked up to the bark and bent down to look at it.

"It looked like someone's been trying to... cut it?" Cubby said, closely inspecting it.

"But since the Forever Tree's enchanted with one of the most powerful protection spells in Neverland, they couldn't fully cut it down" said Jake.

"We found what's been happening to the tree!" Skully exclaimed.

"Now we just have to find out how to stop it..." said Izzy, tracing her hand on the cut marks.

They were trying to come up with a plan on what to do when they heard noises, like someone speaking, from the walls. The voices were muffled, so they couldn't figure out what they were talking about or who they were, but they knew that it was someone speaking.

"This is so freaky" said Cubby, clinging onto Jake's sleeve.

"We should hide, come on!" said Izzy, guiding everyone behind a huge boulder.

They stood behind the boulder and watched.

After a minute or so, they heard creaking, almost like a door opening. They spotted a small door which opened from somewhere a bit high up from the ground.

A boy, who looked 16 years old, jumped down and landed on his feet. He had black hair and brown eyes, and was wearing black pants along with a yellow and black captain coat. He had a patch that had Z.P sewn onto it.

And soon, a girl, who looked kind of identical to the boy, also jumped down. She had brown hair and black eyes with white pants and a lavender coat. She had a similar patch that had A.P sewn onto it.

And then three boys followed.

The first one looked 15, and he started following the first boy. He had black hair, with a white streak in it, which was hardly noticable. He had leaf green eyes, and was wearing a grey shirt and grey pants, aling with a black fedora with a white star pattern.

The second boy, who looked about 15 too, jumped down and landed with a karate pose. He had black hair and yellow eyes and was wearing a white gi, or a loose white jacket worn in karate. It was paired with a karate belt and tan pants. He too, started following the first boy.

The last boy who jumped down didn't land on his feet at all. He landed on top of the second boy, and soon they started arguing with each other. They were silenced by the girl. The young boy had blond hair and gray eyes. He was wearing a red shirt with black jeans and had a blue hood around him.

"They look like a crew..." Jake whispered.

"Funny" said Skully.

"Men! Start doing the work!" the first boy shouted, to which the other three boys obeyed. They started, to Jake and his crew's surprise, to take the axes they came with and trying to chop the tree.

"I think we found who's been trying to chop the trees" said Skully angrily.

"We should go and confront them" said Jake, to which the others all agreed.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" Jake asked, revealing himself from behind the boulder.

"What the..." the first boy whispered under his breath.

"Azra! I thought you told me there was no one here!" the same boy snapped to the girl.

"Well, I don't know everything now do I?"

she snapped back, annoyed.

The others also came out from behind the boulder and went to stand with Jake.

"There's more!!" the youngest one exclaimed.

"Who are you?" the kid who came with the karate pose asked.

"Well, I'm Jake, this is Izzy, this is Cubby and this is Skully" Jake introduced. "But the question is, who are YOU?" he asked.

"I am Zafer Polat, owner of Polat industries. This is my twin sister and personal assistant, Azra. And behind me are my three men" the first boy said.

"Ömer Kaya!" the second boy shouted.

"Mert Tekin!" the weird karate kid shouted.

"Furkan Necmi!" the youngest one shouted.

"And those are their names" Zafer concluded.

"Why are you trying to cut down the Forever Tree?" Izzy asked.

"This tree is very rare. If we cut it down and sell it, it'll make us some good cash" Zafer said, day dreaming about all the money he could have. "And YOU are not going to meddle with us" he warned.

"Actually, we are" Skully shot back. He was already starting to hate this guy.

"This tree is what keeps Neverland alive. If it goes down, so does Neverland. We're not going to let you cut it down" said Cubby defensively, but shyly.

"Oh whatever!" Zafer argued, and then turned to his minions. "Did I tell you that you could stop?" he asked, a deadly tone in his voice. The three boys shuddered, and then quickly went back to trying to chop it.

They were trying, but it wasn't working. The protection spell couldn't be broken with a few axes.

"Brother... It doesn't seem to be working" said Azra to Zafer.

"Shush" Zafer silenced her.

"You really should think about this" said Jake, walking up to them.

"Leave us alone!" Zafer said rudely.

Annoyed, Jake went to his crew.

"Nope, reasoning won't work with that guy" he said, somewhat angrily.

"I have a plan" said Izzy, and she started walking to the Forever Tree.

"STOP!" she shouted to the boys. That got their attention. They stopped chopping.

Seizing this opportunity, she ran up to the tree and wrapped her arms around it. Understanding what she was doing, Jake and the others ran up to the tree and did the same.

"H-Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" the youngest one, Furkan asked.

"We're not going to move from here unless you promise to stay away from the Forever Tree" Izzy said stubbornly.

"How are we supposed to chop it if they don't move?" Ömer asked to no one in particular.

"I'll karate chop them!" Mert declared, but did nothing.

"I thought I told you not to meddle with my plans!" Zafer said angrily.

"I'm sorry, but we can't let you" said Izzy, standing her ground.

Zafer was about to do something, but something stopped him. The ground started shaking all of the sudden. Soon, a huge and ferocious looking Earth Element Dragon emerged from the ground. It was brown in colour, like the soil and had bits of rocks all over. A few vines and moss was all over it's body. It's eyes were like rocks, and looked wise.

"Oh no..." Azra said under her breath.

"Dragon! Why do we keep encountering dragons?!" Skully shouted.

The dragon opened it's eyes and looked at the Forever Tree. It saw the cut marks. It saw Zafer and his team. It got angry seeing the axes in their hands. Letting out a loud roar and scaring everyone, it started movong closer to the tree to protect it.

It picked up Zafer and his team with it's huge claws, and started wiggling them in the air.

"Make it sto-o-o-o-o-p!" they shouted.

"I think I know what the dragon's gonna do next..." said Cubby.

"It's gonna drop them!" said Skully.

"Hey, Izz... I think this is what they call an emergency!" Jake said, pointing to the forgotten pouch of Pixie Dust.

"Right!" she said, and ran to climb the tree. After reaching the top, she opened the pouch and took a bit of dust into her hands. Waiting for the right moment, just as the dragon dropped them, she threw the pixie dust at them. Instead of plummeting to the ground, they were floating!

"We... We're... flying!" Azra said, surprised.

"I feel sick..." Zafer said. And he looked sick too. His hand was over his stomach, and he looked green.

"Me no likes" Ömer said, also feeling sick.

"Hiya! Woo!" Mert was doing karate moves in the air.

"Wow!! I'm like a bird!" said Furkan, flapping his arms like a bird.

Slowly, they reached the ground. Everyone had forgotten about the dragon in amidst all the flying.

The dragon was watching the humans wisely. But then it came back to it's senses. It was about to attack Jake and his crew when it saw Izzy. It lowered it's head a bit to look at her clearly. It was looking at her dagger. It let out a small and happy squeak.

It recognised the dagger. Izzy's tribe originated from Neverland North, the same place which the Earth Dragon was born. It recognised the opal and the carvings.

Izzy went up to the dragon, and the dragon lowered it's head.

She kept her hand on it's forehead, and whispered.

"It's okay. These people won't bother the Forever Tree now"

The dragon slowly closed it's eye, for a moment of rest. After a while, it lifted it's head and bowed to Izzy and the crew. And then it went back to the ground, protecting the Forever Tree, and thus protecting Neverland.

"Try doing anything to the Forever Tree and the dragon will come to get you" Cubby warned to Zafer and his team. Hearing this, they left as quick as they came.

"And just so you know, I hate you!" Zafer shouted.

"Good job you guys!" Peter congratulated.

They were at the faery forest now. All was well, and everyone was happy.

"A job well done, Izzy" the queen praised.

"It wasn't just me, it was Jake, Cubby and Skully too" she said, feeling embarrassed because of all the attention.

"It's true though, Izz... You were amazing!" Jake complimented, making Izzy blush even more.

"We have something to give you" the queen said, revealing a few other faeries coming forward, carrying the yellow pouch.

"Take this as a thanks for what you have done" the queen said.

Izzy was beyond happy to see it! A full pouch of Pixie Dust! Do you know how much it would help them?

So after the celebrations, they left with a pouch of Pixie Dust, and a new enemy made. Oh and, the two knights got fired because they did a trash job at protecting the entrance.

How did you like it? I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. Feel free to leave a review on how you feel!

You know that thing that Izzy did when she went up to the Forever Tree and wrapped her arms around it? That actually happened in real life!

It happened in India and was called the Chipko movement or chipko andolan. It was a forest conservation movement. The movement originated in 1973 at the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. You can find more about it in google if you're interested.

Thanks for reviewing again Yavuz! Your wish has been granted! Actually, I was in the blue of what to do with the story, so your review saved me. I hope you like how I included your characters! I was really excited when I was writing.

Anyways, with that being said, I shall take my leave now. Thank you, and see you another time!
