Finnalé
Part 1
Wonder sat up, he had fallen off the bed that was horizontal to the window, he looked around. Jewel was closing the window. She leaned against the wall and shivered. "Where's Flare!" Wonder searched all around. "Did he get 'em?!" Wonder jumped down with Jewel after. They ran into the kitchen. Wonder had to tell Jack all that had happened.
To their comfort, Flare had huddled up with Bleu in his match box. They were sleeping. Wonder burst into tears. "Wonder! What's wrong?" Jack asked. He picked him up and nestled him in his arms.
"It was awful......" he tried to say without crying. "Me and Jewel were in her room... sniff and we were... sniff looking out the window.... sniff then we heard a noise. sniff....." He stopped, he whiped his eyes and tried to compose himself. He did. "Balthazzar, challenged me to a fight in the battledome...... What am I going to do!!" he burst into tears again. Jewel lifted up her arms to Allan, with one of those pick me up faces. He did and they both cried.
"Balthazzar!" Jack said, "Are you sure?" both neopets nodded fiercely. ".....well......maybe we just won't fight him."
"But if we don't!" Wonder started. "He will keep coming and..... NO! I am going to fight him!" he said firmly. "My family and friends depend on it." He jumped down. Jewel jumped off and hugged him. Then they went to their rooms and slept.

The next morning they woke up early and headed for the Battle Magic Shop. The spring flowers blossomed brightly and swayed back and forth in the wind as they passed. Wonder ran to the door of the Battle Magic Shop. When Jack got there they went in.
The Shop, was filled with all different weapons. There was Blue Frost Cannon, Yellow, Red, Black, and there was a couple of Swords of Domar, and Snow balls of all different types. Wonder was shocked at all the Battle Magic there was around. Jack went to look at the very expensive stuff. The kind the will knock out a poor little level 1 Kiko, in one hit. Jack grabbed a couple of things, like a Black Frost Cannon, A Wand of the Light Faerie, a Evil Snowball, and a Sword of Domar. They paid for their stuff and left.
Next they headed for the Defense Magic Shop. It was the same, full of interesting battle items. Jack bought: A Helmet of Darkness, Wocky Helmet, Wocky Full Armor, and then they left.

Wonder sighed. He gathered his equipment and they went Faerieland. They hoped to buy an elixer from the Water Faerie at the Healing Springs. They entered the large bubble that consumed the whole Healing Springs. There was a long line of Pets at the Water Faerie, waiting to be healed. They went in the shop the were standing next to. Jack opened the door and the two went in.
At the counter stood a miniature Water Faerie. Wonder looked out the window. There was the other one. He looked back at the counter and rubbed his eyes. He sighed in confusion and went to the counter with Jack. Jack was already talking to the faerie. "Give me the most powerful elixer you've got!" he demanded. She nodded,
"That'll be one Ultra Bumbleberry Elixé Plus, 7,000 neopoints please." Jack gave her the money. She looked at him strangely, "You must be in a Battle Dome fight with a big mean nasty neopet." Jack shook his head.
"Faerie Hunter" was all he said. She gasped.
"Balthazzar!!!" She shouted. Wonder nodded.
"Yeah and I'm a novice too! How do you expect me to beat him" he asked Jack. Jack thought a moment.
"You will." he said. The Faerie went into the back room. She returned with a glowing ball of.... of... Blue! Wonder gazed in amazement.
"Here." she handed Jack the Orb, "Give it to him. It's my blessing. You will learn the ability, Heal. It will aid you in the Battle Dome." Jack dropped the orb on Wonder's head. To Wonder's surprise, it went through him. He was then consumed in its blue radiance. Wonder felt like he was in a raging river going over a waterfall. Then he sighed and it left him. He felt so courageous, and noble.
"Well!" he shouted. "I feel great! Thank you!" he turned to Jack, "Let's go.." his happy smile turned into a sincere glare. The quietly left without a word.
