Timmy skimmed his new surroundings,Wanda and Cosmo had just poofed him somewhere totally out-of-this-world.It was in front of a tall,mysterious soild white castle and all four of them were outside two large golden gate doors.
"Whoa..."Timmy admired the castle complete amazement,starting to walk a few steps forward to the gates,"This is like something out of a dream!Where are we?"
"The Highest Ranking Magic Renewal System in the universe,Timmy,"Wanda told him reassuringly,flying up to admire the castle in all it's glory as well,"This is the place where,if you somehow lost or gave up you're magic,they can renew it.But they only do it once and it you gave it up for the wrong reason...well,plaining and simple,they'll kick you out."
"Wow,I remember studying about this place a few weeks ago,never thought I'd acutally see it though."Waldo added with an impressed note in his voice,examing the bars up close,"Hey!Know what,I think this stuff might not be gold at all,I think it's from some kind of planet in another galaxy."
Cosmo listened to them discuss the wonders of rare deep space metals with an absent look,that's when his eyes caught sight of a gargoyle-like creature made of the same metal off to the left of the castle enterance.Glancing over to make sure no one was looking,he slowly drifted over to it.It was finely crafted and looked very old,just the kind of thing that could be broken easily.So taking his wand,he gently tapped once on his head,then twice,then a third time.But he didn't notice the obvious arm level extended high up in the air.
"Oooo...I wonder that this does!"Cosmo's exclaimed gleefully,yanking the level down.
"Cosmo,nooo!"Timmy cried out,but the ground opened up and Timmy plummeted right in side of it,"Yeeeeeahhhhhhh!"
"Timmy!"Wanda shrieked fretfully,hurrying down after him with Waldo in tow.
"Well next time,look before you stand!"Cosmo innocently flew over to the whole,but Wanda shot up to grab him by the collar and dragged him in after Timmy.
Timmy ladded on a what appeared to be a sack of flower with a thud,he shook his head to get some of the flower particles out of his hair and got up to dust the rest off.
"Hey,where am I?"He asked himself out loud,taking a few step forward to what looked like a giant judges table,"Hellooo?Anyone here?Anyone who can help me out."
"I guess I could."A strangely,deep voice from behind the table awnsered withgrunt.
"No,I could!"A second one chimed in.
"No,no,no.Me!Pick me."Came a third.
"I...just need help."Timmy repiled uneasily,trying to peer around the table.
"GREAT!"A trio of enthusastic voices joined in unison and 3 snake-like heads popped up from behind it grinning widely.
"Whoa!"Timmy gaped in awe,taking a few steps back,"What...Who are you?What are you!And where are Cosmo and Wanda at?"
"They're not allowed back here."The first head which was a reddish colour snarled bitterly,keeping his keen green eyes directly on Timmy in tact for any wrong moves.
"You'll see them soon!"The second one which was a blue head told Timmy reassuringly,giving him a litte wink.
"But not too soon..."The green and last one reminded him firmly,nodding towards the door,"I guess you're wondering who we are?And how you can get what we know you want back in order to stop Callisto from the Universal Scepter."
"OK,here's the thing,"Timmy interjected quickly,seeing his chance,"I was the Fairy Warrior almost a year ago,yet prior to the fact that I reliquinshed all ofmy powersto defeat what I thought was the greatest threat of all time;when in fact it wasn't.So upon hearing from the greatest threat and how he plans to come back and destroy me and stuff,I thought it'd only be fair toregain my powers back and save the universe!"
"That kid took the words right out of my mouth."The Blue snake head noted with a grin,trying to get at least the green one to agree with him,"He's very relevant with all of this."
"Relevant being the key word!"The greenheaded one point out curtly,giving Timmy a quick observant glance.
"Hmm...?"The Red headed one muttered curiously and lowered his head til he was only a few feet from toughing him.
They just stayed like that for what seemed like forever,Timmy trying to divert his vision and aviod too much eye contact,while the crimson-headed snake just glared at him.Finally,however,he gave a little gruff and raised him head up.Then he turned to the others and gave them a small nod.
"He's...the one."He told them reluctantly with a furrowed brow,sort of giving the young boy a disapproving look.
"You must be wondering who we are,huh?"The Blue-headed Snake-like head inquired Timmy cheerfully,pretending to look unsurprised,even if he really wasn't in the least.
"Uh...sorta."Timmy repiled somewhat weakly.
"Well,we are simply known as the Ancient Three.I'm the most cheerful one,everybody calls me...uh,it's been so long since we've had company I kind of forget!Anyways,my brother the red one is the coldest and meanest and my other brother is the most enviest.Ever heard of that old saying...green with envy?Boy,is that one ever a classic!"
"Getting your powers back will not be an easy task,Warrior.Only the most desirving and most likely to prevail will even be considered.Although I am telling you this,Callisto is the GREATEST wizard in the universe.His powers rise and fall for the most part,so there is not telling how strong he may have become.First,I want you to take a few steps back.Well,go on...do it!"The red-headed snake hissed sharply,causing Timmy to jump back rather then step.
"Now you lucky,lucky human...do you remember how in the end you're sword was the only thing that stayed with you and then vanished once everything was restored to it's original form?As in,you when some and lose some."The green snake inquired with some obvious envy in his throat.
"Yes."Timmy squeaked in a tiny voice,twiddling his thumbs.Whatever these guys had in store for Timmy,they were sure good at making him feel even more in secure about it.But Timmy wouldn't give in to any of it,not for a second.
"Great,now if the sword appears before you you are worthy enough to re-accept it's powers back and transform back into the Fairy just in time to save us all!"The Blue Snake informed him optimistically,trying to get his brother's to agree.
"And if it doesn't?"
"Then you get banished to a very,very bad place for commiting fraud and/or wasting a big chuck of our time."The Red Snake repiled smugly,leaning back a litte bit.
So they waited there for a long time,Timmy nervously flinched occasionally and peered around for the reappearance of the greatest mystic sword in the universe.More powerful then the sword he used to combat his first dragon in the middle ages,or any of the weapons he used to defeat Crocker.More powerful then anything ever created,but where was it?
"O.K.,this has been a load of laughs,but I've got a maincure in the next 15 minutes."The Green Snake yawned nonchalantly,taking a quick glance up at a sun-dial like thing.
"You don't even have any arms."The Red Snaked reminded him bitterly,then swereving his head over towards Timmy,"Sorry,kid.But it's been too long and the sword is a no-show.Which means you get to be banished for making all of this up and you're Fairy's get to also have a good time where were sending them.They're the ones that poofed you here in the first place!Who are they again,by the way?"
"Oh,just the worse Fairy's in history with the most bumblingly outrageous record you'd ever hope you lay you're eyes on."The Green Snake commented coolly,checking a hump in his body which he probably assumed was a hand.
"No!"Timmy shouted out hotly,grinding his teeth together,"None of this is fair,none of it at all!So what if Cosmo and Wanda are bumbling,I'm not much better!They only took me here to help save not only you 3,but everyone else as well!Look,I know it seems weird and confusing.I know it's hard to believe I could be it,when everything else is happening.But you gotta trust me,I am the Fairy Warriror!I'm only here to do what's right and save the Universe!"
Suddenly a strange glow caught Timmy's eye,he turned his head and saw with bridled amazement,the sword was slowly but surely drifting his way.Timmy reached out with a awe of a start and as soon as he gripped the familiar handle of the sword that had helped him out once before,he felt a wave of energy flow threw him.He closed his eyes as the intenseness of the feeling grew and grew and grew and...grew.
"Is...it over?"Timmy asked no one in particular,opening one eye,but when he looked down something totally unexpected made him gasp.His entire armour was gold plated and tougher looking then ever.His sword looked a little bigger,but other then that it was pretty much the same,"What does this mean?"
"It means..."The Red Snake told him for the first time with an honest and non-sarcastic smile,"You're ready to battle."
Well,I kind of needed to do something like this.You know,start adding a few more details.Thing will began to become more clear as Timmy and Callisto go head-to-head in the next chapter!Anyways,I'll try updating sooner.But as I am trying to bring a certain grade up from the ashes of doom in one class,I've been REALLY busy!Let's just put it that way.Really hope you like it thou,farewell fellow FFner's!
