Chapter 19: Losing their Powers Part II: The Dark Wizard's Weakness

Author's Note: This really doesn't have anything to do with Ann or her friends. This really deals with Kimberly and the Dark Wizard.

(Previously on The Next Generation)

Tommy was thrown against the rocks and the minions grabbed Kimberly again. Ann tried to get to the minions but they disappeared with Kimberly. "MOM!" Ann called. She ran over to her father to find a gash on his head. "Dad, dad, daddy," she whispered. Tommy didn't wake up. "REBECCA! JOSH!" She called. They came down and saw their father in trouble. "Daddy, you have to wake up," she begged.

Kimberly woke up with a groan and gasped to find herself strapped to a table. She struggled against her binds. The Dark Wizard then entered the room. She gasped to see him standing right next to her. "Ew, gross," she groaned.

"You're just like your ancestor, Princess Beautiful. She was just as beautiful as you are," he commented.

"You knew my ancestor?" She asked.

"Of course I did, I was in love with her. I'll show you."

A screen came down and images that went back thousands of years ago appeared.

(The Past)

Seventeen-year-old Princess Beautiful entered the room to find her father's most trusted wizard standing there. "Good morning, milady," he greeted.

"Good morning, Timothy. Did you need anything?" She asked.

"No, I just came here to see your beautiful face," he replied.

She was wearing pink shoes, a pink dress, a pink stoned necklace, throughout her hair were pink flowers, and on her head was her tiara full of pink and white gems.

Timothy (The Dark Wizard) had shoulder-length brown hair, green eyes, he was wearing black boots, black breeches, a white shirt with a black vest, a black jacket, on his shoulders was a black cape, his long hair was pulled back, and in his hand was a staff.

Just then, her father entered the room. "Daughter, we have a visitor," he informed. Princess Beautiful shrugged her shoulders at Timothy before leaving.

They entered the throne room and a young man around her age stood there.

He had shoulder-lengthdark brownhair, brown eyes, he was wearing white boots, white breeches, a white shirt, a white vest, a white jacket, his hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and on his shoulders was a white cloak. On his side was a dagger, and on his back was a sword.

"Daughter, this is Master Thomas, the master warrior of the lands," the king informed. The warrior walked over to her with a smile.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, milady," he greeted.

"The pleasure is all mine," she assured.

She held up her hand and he kissed the top of it. "You are a lovely princess," he complimented.

"Thank you, and you are a fine warrior," she stated.

Master Thomas smiled and then looked up at the wizard. "Who is this, milord?" He asked.

"I'm Timothy, I'm the wizard of these lands," Timothy replied.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Master Thomas stated.

Princess Beautiful was staring dreamily at the warrior as he spoke with her father. Then her best friend, Princess Trisha (Trini's ancestor)walked over to her. "Close your mouth," she teased. Princess Beautiful giggled and then she left with Princess Trisha to the gardens.

As days passed, Timothy noticed that Princess Beautiful and Master Thomas were coming closer each day.

One day, Princess Beautiful was sitting out in the gardens when Master Thomas came out. "Milady," he called. She turned around and smiled at him.

"You may call me, Beautiful, Thomas," she assured.

He touched her hands with a smile. She gave his hands a gentle squeeze and looked up into his eyes. "I never felt this way towards any woman. You must be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life," he commented. He then stared into her eyes. "Who named you "Beautiful" in the first place?" He questioned.

"It was my nanny's idea. My parents were looking for a unique name, but I was so beautiful that my nanny decided to suggest the name," she replied.

He lowered his head down to hers. "The name fits you perfectly," he whispered. Beautiful jumped slightly at the touch of his lips but relaxed against him.

A month passed since that day and Timothy was getting angry each day that he saw them together. One day, he followed Beautiful to her room.

Beautiful was getting ready for the party that night when the door closed. She jumped and looked at him. "Timothy, what are you doing in here?" She asked.

"I'm trying to stop you from making a terrible mistake," he replied.

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

"You cannot be in love with this man."

"I am in love with him."

"You can't be."

Beautiful stood up and glared at him. "I am in love with him, stop trying to change my heart," she snapped. She went to walk away when he grabbed her arm.

"Beautiful, listen to me, you cannot love him because I love you," he stated.

She stared at him in disbelief. She yanked her arm out of his grasp and stood back against the door. "Timothy, you can't be in love with me. Even if you are I can't love you in return because I love Thomas," she insisted.

"Please let him go and come with me," he insisted.

"I can't do that. If I were to do that then I would surely die from heartbreak. I'm sorry, Timothy."

She kissed his cheek and left the room.

That night during the party, Beautiful and Thomas were dancing together with smiles on their faces. However, Thomas suddenly stopped and raised his hands so everyone would calm down. "I have something to say. When I first came here, I found myself lost and confused. I didn't know where to go or what to do with my life. I was just a warrior trying to fight every evil in the world. That was until I met her, Princess Beautiful, the most gorgeous woman in the world. That's why tonight is a special night. I have gone to her father asking for his blessing and he has given it. Now, I must see if she'll have me," he announced. He stood in front of Princess Beautiful with a smile. He then went down on one knee, grasped her hands in his, and he looked up into her eyes. "Princess Beautiful, will you do me the honor of becoming my bride?" He asked. Beautiful smiled and freed one of her hands and touched his face.

"Yes, Master Thomas, I will," she replied.

"You will?" He asked.

"I will."

He stood up and swung her around. Everyone but Timothy clapped at such a proposal.

The night before the wedding, Timothy decided to destroy Master Thomas. He kidnapped Princess Beautiful and had Master Thomas come out to save her.

Master Thomas hurried over into the forest to find his betrothed tied to a tree. "THOMAS!" She called. Timothy landed in front of him with his sword in hand.

"Give her up," he ordered.

"Never," Thomas snapped.

They started sword fighting in the forest, but Thomas didn't know that Timothy had placed a curse on the forest to catch on fire when he gave the word. Thomas then pinned Timothy to a tree. "You'll never win, evil wizard," he snapped.

"I think I will," Timothy cackled.

He kicked Thomas away and raised his staff. He spoke in a strange language and flames burst in the forest. Beautiful gasped when flames started to surround her. "THOMAS! HELP!" She screamed. Thomas got up and ran towards the tree. He took out his dagger and sliced her ropes. He picked her up into a carrying position and called for his horse. He placed her onto his horse and looked at Timothy who was charging at them.

"NO! YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY LOVE FROM ME!" He roared.

"HANG ON, BEAUTIFUL!" He yelled.

Beautiful held onto his waist and closed her eyes tight. The horse went on his hind legs and kicked Timothy away, making him land into the fire. Beautiful buried her head in Thomas's back with a gasp. "Come on, let's go home," he whispered. Beautiful gasped as trees started falling all around them. "HYAH! GO!" He yelled. His horse ran as fast as it could through the forest and they made it out alive. Timothy was alive but terribly burned. He built himself a new uniform to hide his burns. He then changed his name from Timothy to the Dark Wizard.

A few months later, he watched in the shadows as the wedding went on.

Princess Beautiful was just absolutely gorgeous. Her beautiful white dress flowing around her and the white flowers going through her hair.

Master Thomas wore his warrior attire to show how protective he could be, of course it looked like it was just made.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife," the minister announced. The Dark Wizard turned his head when Master Thomas pulled Princess Beautiful in a kiss.

Years passed and he watched as Princess Beautiful would exit the castle with a bundle in her arms. She had bore Master Thomas a son to be his heir. "Beautiful," Thomas called. A wolf stood next to Beautiful making sure to protect the baby. Beautiful placed her son into the cradle in the gardens and hurried to see what her husband needed. The wolf stood guard but the Dark Wizard cast a spell on the wolf so he could look at the child. He looked into the cradle to see the most beautiful boy he had ever seen.

"This child shouldn't have belonged to Master Thomas. It should have been me that helped create this child," he whispered.

The boy's eyes opened up and he started crying. He hurried away as Beautiful came out. "What's wrong, Tommy?" She asked. She picked her son up and looked around. "Hello?" She asked. No one answered so she went inside to the castle with their wolf behind her.

Years passed some more and this was the last sighting the Dark Wizard had of Princess Beautiful and Master Thomas. They were sitting in the gardens while he watched their two beautiful children play in the gardens. The ball they were playing with rolled away from the daughter so she got up and ran to get it. He quickly pushed it out of the bush so she wouldn't see him. She picked the ball up with a smile. "Rose, come back," Beautiful called. She hurried away and the Dark Wizard had those names burned into his memory. Prince Thomas, Princess Beautiful, Prince Thomas II, and Princess Rose.

(Present)

Kimberly looked at the Dark Wizard. "I can see that you were in love with her and I can see you have the same feelings towards her descendents. However, Dark Wizard. I'm married to Tommy. My Master Thomas," she insisted.

"Your Master Thomas will be dead in a few weeks," he snapped.

"What did you do to him?" Kimberly demanded.

"When my minions threw him to the rocks, I was able to cast a spell on him so he can never wake up."

Kimberly gasped and lowered her head. "Tommy, no," she whispered.

Ann ran across the beach. "Hold on, mom, I'm coming," she whispered.
