Chapter 9: Play For Life, Play For Death
The three of them were teleported back to the game board. They landed on a block labeled 39.
"Well, now what do we do?" Cosmo asked looking down at Wanda and Timmy. Timmy was still out cold and Wanda was at his side, making sure he wasn't hurt.
"I'm not sure Cosmo," She said, looking up from Timmy. "but we should do something about Timmy." She looked back down at him.
Timmy's eyes slowly opened. He looked around.
"Now where are we?" He asked woozily. He tried to get up, but it made his head spin so he laid back down.
"We're back on the game board." Wanda said to Timmy. Cosmo flew over to them.
"Hey Timmy, thanks for saving us back there!" Cosmo said. He smiled at Timmy.
"Huh?" Timmy asked. He barely remembered anything. All he could remember was that he had been in a room and he had some sort of wand.
"Yeah, you burnt the ropes with that black wand thing. Then you got all weird and tried to blow us up!" He finished. Then he realized what he said and started to cry again. "TIMMY, ARE-YOU-OKAY!" Cosmo wailed, shaking Timmy vigorously.
"Yes, I think so Cosmo." Timmy winced. His face started to turn green from all the shaking. Wanda came over and placed an arm around Cosmo's shoulder, urging him to stop. He let go.
"Thanks Wanda." Timmy said in a weak voice. He clutched his head. "So what exactly happened? And what do you mean I almost blew you up? Why would I do that?" Timmy asked, still confused about the whole thing. Wanda and Cosmo looked at each other.
"You don't remember anything?" Wanda asked, hoping for an answer. Timmy looked at her and shook his head.
"Well, we don't know either!" Cosmo said with a stern look on his face. Wanda hit him in the back of the head.
"Waaaaahhh. You don't love me again!" Cosmo cried. Wanda looked at him strangely and then looked back at Timmy.
"Well, all we know is that Anti-Cosmo took us and brought us to this room, where he tied us up. Then he did some sort of spell on us. But that's all I remember." Wanda said, shrugging her shoulders. She glanced back at Cosmo, who was now smiling at her.
"You were tied up?" Timmy asked. He didn't remember anything about that. He thought harder, racking his brain for information. But he found nothing, almost as if someone deliberately erased his mind.
"Yeah, you freed us with some weird wand... that was black"! Cosmo said, holding his wand up for reference. Timmy stared at it.
"Speaking of wands, Timmy, I was wondering where you got that one you had?" Wanda asked Timmy.
"I'm not sure, but I think Anti-Cosmo gave it to me before he left,"Timmy said, trying to think of what happened."I remember using it to do something, but I don't remember what." Timmy said.
"Well, you used it to burn the ropes!" Cosmo said, trying to be helpful.
"No, it was before that happened," Timmy said again. "I think it had something to do with you guys!"
"Well, whatever is the matter?" A familiar voice rang out through the night sky. The three of them looked up, only to see Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda coming towards them.
"What do you want with me?" Timmy asked them. He was really tired of them showing up whenever things looked bad. They always seemed to make it worse.
"Relax Timothy, we've come to congratulate you on your victory." Anti-Cosmo laughed.
"Really?" Timmy said. He really didn't believe them.
"Well, no, not really," Anti-Cosmo said. Timmy frowned as he laughed. "you see, it wasn't really a victory at all. More like half a victory, but that doesn't matter."
"What do you mean, half a victory?" Timmy asked. He was getting really tired of Anti-Cosmo's riddles.
"Well, you managed to save your godparents, but you did something else too. Something that put all of your lives in jeopardy, even ours!" He sneered.
"What did I do then?" Timmy asked again. Anti-Cosmo looked at him, unbelievingly.
"Why on earth would I tell you?" He laughed, as if it were all a big joke.
"Tell me!" Timmy said in an angry voice.
"Now Timothy, we mustn't let out tempers rise." Anti-Cosmo said, thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Yeh, ors I'll hafta tie yous up again!" Anti-Wanda sneered at them. Anti-Cosmo glared at her, signaling to keep her mouth shut.
"Tie us up? Again?" Timmy said, still confused.
"Yes, Just like I did wif those two." She said pointing to Cosmo and Wanda. Timmy looked at his godparents.
"She tied you up?" Timmy asked them. Cosmo and Wanda looked back at him.
"Now that I think of it, yes she did." Wanda said, smiling. She looked at Timmy, who was frowning. Her smile disappeared.
"Then she tied herself up!" Cosmo said, pointing at Anti-Wanda. This time, Anti-Wanda glared at him.
"I did not." Anti-Wanda yelled back.
"Did too." Cosmo yelled back in defense.
"No she didn't!" Wanda said, stepping in. Cosmo looked at her strangely.
"Oh sure, take her side!" Cosmo said angrily. He turned back to Anti-Wanda who was smiling.
"What, I am not taking her side!" Wanda said back to Cosmo. He looked at her again.
"Yes she was." Anti-Wanda said back. Wanda glared at her.
"Why you little..." Wanda started.
"That's enough, if you really want to know, I tied her up. You wouldn't believe how annoying she can get!" Anti-Cosmo said, breaking up the fight. Timmy watched as the four fairies fought together.
"Told ya!" Anti-Wanda said, pointing at Cosmo. She didn't realize that her own husband had just dissed her.
"Wait, you tied her up?" Timmy said. It was all starting to come back to him now. He remembered seeing the five figures at the end of the room. Two of them had been Cosmo and Wanda, and the third one was Anti-Wanda. But he couldn't recall who the other two were.
"That's right, you were too dumb to tie yourself up." Cosmo shot back
"I was not!" Anti-Wanda snapped
"Both of you, shut your mouths" Anti-Cosmo yelled above them. They both stopped and stared and Cosmo ran and hid behind Wanda, trembling.
"Now Timothy, you remember those five, do you not?" Anti-Cosmo said, turning back to Timmy.
"Yes, but only three of them." Timmy said. Anti-Cosmo looked at him, and the looked up at the sky.
"Perhaps this will answer that for you!" He said looking down at Timmy again. The three of them looked up and saw a small flaming object falling from the sky. Timmy squinted his eyes, but still couldn't figure out what it was.
"What is that?" Wanda asked Timmy. Timmy just shrugged his shoulders. The object was coming closer and closer as they stared at it. Finally, a few seconds later, it hit the ground, causing a small explosion when it hit. It sent rocks and dust flying everywhere. When the dust cleared, Timmy walked up to it and looked down.
"What is it?" Cosmo asked.
"It's the wand." Timmy said. Cosmo and Wanda floated over for a better look. Timmy reached down to pick it up. He could feel the heat coming from it, as it was still hot. He withdrew his hand and looked at Anti-Cosmo.
"It's okay, Timothy, it's won't bite." Anti-Cosmo replied in a cold tone. Timmy looked back down at the wand.
"Timmy, I don't think you should do that." Wanda said nervously. She could feel the wand's heat and it was now glowing red. Timmy wanted to listen, but something stopped him. He had a sudden urge to pick it up, almost as if it was controlling his mind. He reached out and grasped to wand with his hand.
As soon as he touched it, the wand grew extremely cold. Timmy let it fall to the ground. As it hit, two black shadow forms flew out of the wand. They rose to they sky and disappeared. They looked familiar to Timmy, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them. He looked back at Anti-Cosmo, who just smiled back and looked up at the sky again.
Timmy looked back up at the sky. The shadow figures were flying back to earth now, at full speed. And they were headed right for Cosmo and Wanda. They reached their target and drove themselves right into the backs of his two godparents. Timmy watched as they both fell to the ground. Their eyes flashed a deadly red color and then they fell unconscious. Timmy felt helpless as he watched them lay there.
"Do you remember now?" Anti-Cosmo asked, sneering. Timmy looked up, tears in his eyes.
"Yes, I remember!" He said quietly through his tears. He looked back at Cosmo and Wanda. Cosmo was moving a bit. He got up and looked around.
"Where am I?" He asked. He looked at Timmy. "What happened?"
"Cosmo, your okay!" Timmy ran over to him and pulled him into a hug.
"Of course I am Timmy. Me and Wanda are always okay!" He said happily, looking down at Wanda. She was still lying on the ground.
"Wanda, are you okay? WANDA!" Cosmo yelled, trying to shake her awake. She remained motionless. Cosmo set her back down and cried into his hands. Timmy looked over at Wanda. He noticed she was still breathing.
"Cosmo, Cosmo snap out of it. Look, Wanda's gonna be okay!" Timmy said walking over to him. He pointed at Wanda, who was slowly struggling to sit up.
"Yeah, Wanda's back and better!" Cosmo cried, wiping his eyes. He flew over to her and gave her a big bear hug.
"Oh Wanda, I missed you!" He yelled. Timmy noticed that as he hugged her, Wanda didn't seem to be hugging back, which was unusual. In fact, she seemed to be trying to get him off of her. Timmy couldn't tell because her back was turned to him.
"Get off me you fool!" She yelled at Cosmo and pushed him away. Cosmo looked hurt as tears welled up in his eyes once again.
"But, but..." Cosmo stuttered. Wanda turned around to look at him. It was then Timmy noticed that her eyes had gone dark again. That spirit had done something to her.
"What did you do to her?" Timmy cried at Anti-Cosmo. He ran up to him and grabbed his shirt.
"I did nothing Timothy," Anti-Cosmo said, pushing Timmy to the ground. "as you can see, Cosmo was not affected, so how could it be me?" Timmy looked up at him, trying to think of a comeback.
"My gosh, child. Do you not remember?" He asked in a dull tone. Timmy looked at Wanda. She was currently chasing Cosmo around, wand raised.
"Remember what?" Timmy said furiously. "Change her back!"
"Ah, you know I would Timothy, but only you can change her back." He said in a mocking tone of voice. Timmy looked at him angrily. He spotted the wand on the floor and picked it up. It was still hot, but he didn't care. He pointed it a Anti-Cosmo threateningly.
"How?" He said menacingly.
"I can't tell you, it would ruin the fun of it all!" He said as he looked at Wanda, who was now lying on the ground, clutching her wand.
"Tell me!" Timmy yelled, as he threatened to throw the wand at him. Anti-Cosmo winced and looked at Anti-Wanda for support. She was eating a sandwich.
"I can't. However, I am willing to strike a deal with you." He said, as a plan hatched into his mind.
"What is it?" Timmy said, lowering the wand a bit so Anti-Cosmo could continue.
"Nothing much. If you lose this little game, Wanda will stay that way forever!" He drawled on.
"And if I win?" Timmy asked coldly.
"If you win, I will restore her to normal and we will leave. But don't count on winning." He said back in a cold voice. It made Timmy's spine tingle.
"Well..." Timmy started, trying to make up his mind. He looked back at Wanda and then at Anti-Cosmo.
"Do we have a deal?" He asked with a small laugh. Timmy looked at his outstretched hand. He finally put his hand out and shook. As soon as he made contact with Anti-Cosmo he felt a surge of magic run through his body. The burns on his skin started to sear with a white hot pain again.
"Good, I thought you'd see it my way!" Anti-Cosmo said with a laugh. "Good luck Timothy!" He finished. Then he and Anti-Wanda poofed away in a small black cloud of smoke.
Timmy lay on the ground, clutching his stomach. It felt as if his whole body had caught fire. He slowly rose to his feet, staggering a bit. He scanned the area for Wanda. He finally spotted he in the corner in a heap on the floor. Cosmo was not too far from her. He was crying again. Ignoring the pain, Timmy got up and walked over to Wanda.
"Wanda, wake up. Please!" Timmy whispered to her. He gently shook her awake. It hurt to move, but he didn't care. All that was on his mind now was saving Wanda.
"Timmy, is that you?" She asked him. Timmy looked down on her as a single tear fell down his face.
