Amethyst Ice
Epilogue
"...This young pixie certainly intrigued me." A voice said, looking at a crystal ball.
"I wouldn't go near him, if we were you, Clockwork.." The hooded figures said.
"What's the difference? He was about the same as Dark Danny..." Clockwork snorted.
"He was unlike Dark Danny...this creature was not of our world...he was powerful..he was one that was not to be taken lightly...but look what happened...so many innocent lives..."
"He was evil, I got it." Clockwork interrupted, looking into the mirror behind him. The hooded figures looked, and saw another world before them...
-------------------------
"...The notorious pixie Sanderson, despite his choices to either be imprisoned in Fairy World Jail or exiled to earth, has chosen to be shot instead for trying to escape Fairy World..."
Two figures lay huddled in a blanket on the couch, one crying and holding a jar full of pink dust in one hand and a bottle of alchohol in the other, while the other figure gently conforted him. Both had came back from a battle that torn their lives apart...and tore someone very precious away from them. The pain of losing Wanda finally drove the green-haired fairy to the only thing he could think of to try and forget all this. Alchohol. Empty nectar bottles littered the floor, ranging from in front of the TV to a small pile by the couch. Cosmo was willing o do anything to make the pain go away.
"...His cohorts, ones who have been working with him, is taken into cusody as of today...most likely as war criminals...the rest of the pixie people having no idea what was happening under their noses...most in horror at what the former assisant to the Head Pixie had done to Fairy World..."
"I wissh I told her how much I really loved her...before she died..." Cosmo whispered. Timmy tried to pull the bottle of alchohol away from him.
"Cosmo, please...stop trying to drink your sorrows away..." he pleaded. The fairy glared at him and yanked the half-empty bottle from his hands.
"SHHUDAPPPPPP! YOU DUUNT KNOW MY PAINNNNNNN!" He wailed before he swigged out of it.
"Cosmo, please!" Timmy begged. He didn't want to see his only godparent sentence the rest of his immortal life to drinking. He deperately needed Cosmo to refocus himself, and it was hard enough that he wasn't intelligent...and beng drunk just made it worse. Timmy wracked his brain to think of something, and eyed the 50 million dollar vase on the pedestal nearby. It was worth a shot. He edged toward the vase and cradled it gently in his arms before he raised it above his godparent.
'I'm so sorry...but it has to be done...' Timmy stopped in mid-air as a cloud of smoke appeared in front of the TV, already putting Cosmo in a bad mood than he already was.
"You shtupid cloud! MOVE!" He snarled from the couch as he clutched the jar of Wanda's dust. He threw the now empty bottle, but the figure moved his head, and it crashed into the wall behind him. Timmy's eyes grew wide as the figure towered over him, and he dropped the vase.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" He screamed, backing away. The only thing stopping him was the wall behind him as Timmy whimpered and cowered.
"I'll be good master...I'll be good master...I'll be good master...I'll be good master..." He repeated over and over as he rocked himself. The figure blinked as he realized his appearance frightened the small boy and finally stepped into the light of the TV. He constanly changed from childhood, to an adult, and to old age.
"...My name is Clockwork...you can say that I'm a friend." Timmy shook his head violently, his eyes shut. Clockwork reached out and put a hand on the boy's shoulder to assure him he wasn't going to hurt him. Timmy shrunk back even more, shivering. The cloaked figure sighed.
"Sanderson's done more damage that I thought. He literally drove this boy mad..." He mumbled to himself. His thoughts were interrupted a second later.
"The lasht time shomeone told us that, he ended up being Hitler." Cosmo muttered bitterly. Clockwork turned to see the drunk fairy on the couch and wrinkled his nose.
"Yes, I realize that, Cosmo."
"...HOW DO YOU KNOW OUR NAMESH? YOU WORK FOR HIM?" He yelled. Clockwork shushed the fairy.
"Fortunately, no. I've been watching terrible events unfold in this world, and I figured I'd step in and change things. You really don't deserve this." He added.
"...YOU SCHARED TIMMEH!" Cosmo cried as he tried to stand up.
"You..YOU remind HIM of...th...that basthrad PIXIE!" He drunkenly pointed. Clockwork held his hands up.
"I assure you, I am not Sanderson. I want to help you."
"YAHHHH YOUUUUU CAN HELP...BY GETTING THE HELL OUTTTTTT!" Cosmo yelled, heading towards the door but ran into a wall. Timmy emerged from the back of the couch, a little calmer, but still jittery.
"...H...help?" He asked.
"CUPCAKESHHH I MISSSH YOUUU." Cosmo sobbed uncontrollably as he leaned against the front door.
"I can help you bring her back to life, but of course, there are consequences if you do take this choice..." Clockwork continued. He waved his staff, showing an image in front of them.
"I will be going back in time minutes before she was killed by Sanderson. But if I save her, that means he will still be alive and still wreaking havoc upon everything."
"But Sanderson was shot dead. You saw it on the news." Timmy interrupted.
"True, but listen to what I'm saying...if I change events in the last few days, then there's a chance that Wanda will NOT end up dead." Clockwork explained.
"..I don't get it." Timmy mumbled. Clockwork sighed, but he understood the pain they were going through at that time.
"..Simply put, I can turn back time and make sure Wanda is not dead. But of course, this will change things a bit...one of those things is Sanderson might not be captured and put to death." Timmy looked at Cosmo, and then back at the jar of pink dust.
"...What happens if we don't choose this option?"
"I leave you alone, and you continue living this way for the rest of your life." Timmy's eyes started to mist over. That would mean that he would get to keep Cosmo because of his misery, but Wanda would never be around. It was already hard enough having godparents taken away from him the first three times...he couldn't stand the fact that he only had one...and that they were both miserable. That wasn't a way to live. He wiped his tears away and looked up at Clockwork.
"I don't care if Sanderson ends up alive again...we want Wanda back." At that point Cosmo passed out and hit the floor.
"But right after Cosmo wakes up." Timmy said sheepishly as he dragged Cosmo back onto the couch. Clockwork nodded, and waved his staff again, fast forwarding until it was the next morning.
---------------------
"...The hell?" Cosmo groaned as the sunlight hit him in the eyelids.
"Gods, I feel horrible..."
"You have a hangover, Cosmo." Clockworrk said. The fairy sat up quickly.
"GAH! Who are you?" A few seconds later Cosmo clutched at his head.
"Fuckkkkkkkkk...it hurts sooo bad..." He groaned. Timmy came in with breakfast on a tray.
"I suggest puking before eating." He managed to smile.
"I...I'm fine! I can hold my alchohol...I..." Cosmo turned a nasty shade of green before he bolted to the bathroom. Timmy placed the tray on the bed as sound of puking sounded from the bathroom.
"...At least I can count on Cosmo to make the day start off bright." Clockwork nodded as they watied for the fairy to finish,
"I'll...I'll never drink again!" Cosmo vowed as he crawled from the doorway.
"About time." Timmy grinned as he helped Cosmo onto the bed.
"Eggs, pancakes, hash browns, milk, toast, and orange juice. Everything we need to make our lives better." Comso reached out and gingerly picked up his fork.
"A...Are we really going...to save her?" Cosmo asked. Clockwork nodded. The fairy smiled as he started eating.
"I'm glad someone hasn't given up on us..."
-----------------------
Breakfast done, and spirits restored, Cosmo and Timmy looked forward to chaging their destinies. They nodded, and Clockwork froze everything except for three of them. He hit the pointy end of his staff onto the ground, and immediately they were pulled to the scene of the battlefield. Cosmo bit his lip and looked at Clockwork.
"How much time do we have to save her?"
"...Two seconds. ...And time...in." Clockwork disappeared.
"You okay?" Wanda asked as they huddled behind a boulder. Jorgen nodded before he brandished his wand in his hand.
"Thank you, Wanda...I didn't expect you to save my life after what I've did to you and Cosmo." Jorgen said rather uncomfortably. Wanda smiled a little as another explosion was heard nearby.
"Hey, even though you do bring us pain every other day...we still think of you as a friend, and..." Jorgen's eyes widened as a shadow fell over them.
"YOU BITCH!" Sanderson snarled angrily and swiped his scythe across Wanda's throat. Suddenly, Cosmo dove in, pushing Wanda out of the way. Sanderson's scythe hit the ground as Cosmo rolled away with Wanda.
"Cosmo?" Wanda asked. The green haired fairy said nothing but hug her tightly.
"I'll make sure you'll never leave my sight again.." He whispered. Wanda blinked.
"Well that's very nice, but kinda inappropriate at this time, right?" Cosmo grinned and just hugged her again. Sanderson slowly lifted up his head as he realized he missed his target. His eyes narrowed as he dislodged the blade from the ground and walked slowly towards them.
"HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT ME! I'LL KILL YOU BOTH!" He snarled. Cosmo growled and stood up.
"Wanda, get behind me." The pink-haired fairy was confused, but did what she was told. Sanderson smirked and watched him for a second before wagging his finger at him.
"Naughty puppy...no treats for you." Cosmo merely just smirked.
"As if I'd take treats from a prick like you." Sanderson lifted an eyebrow, wondering what came over Cosmo when.. CLANG! Everyone watched as he hit the ground face fist in the mud. Timmy stood behind him, holding a rock.
"...I..I figured if it worked once...it would work twice." He said.
"What?" Wanda asked confusingly. Cosmo took her to the side and relayed the events to her. Sanderson growled as he shook his head minutes later.
"I..I died?" She asked. Cosmo nodded.
"Yes, but Timmy and I came back in time to save you before he...killed...you." Timmy looked over at Clockwork.
"I think we're okay now..." He softly said. The figure nodded, not noticing Sanderson jumped up and ran at him.
"Good...then I shall take my leave and..."
"WATCH OUT!" Timmy yelled. Before they could react, Sanderson snatched the staff from Clockwork.
"YOINK!" he flipped backwards several times before he touched the ground with the staff in his hand.
"Time traveling, eh? Fiesty little thing to use." He smirked.
"NO! Stop him!" Clockwork yelled. Before their eyes, Sanderson ripped open a portal and waved at them.
"So long! I'm off to take over another universe!" He laughed evilly as he threw the staff away and jumped in.
"FOLLOW HIM! QUICK!" Clockwork yelled over the wind. Cosmo, Timmy, and Wanda flew towards the time gate, but it quickly closed.
"Dammit! He got away!" Cosmo gritted his teeth. Clockwork picked up his staff and shook his head.
"This is bad...no one is supposed to break the time contiuum barriers..." He looked at the space where Sanderson disappeared.
"...Then what do we do?" Timmy asked. The cloaked figure glanced at him.
"...We follow him."
--------------------------
Sanderson floated around a green realm for what he thought was several hours...before he stopped in front of a door. He didn't know why he was brought here, but he had a feeling it was important. He slowly opened the door, revealing a small town. It looked like any other human town on Earth...but the name certainly caught his attention.
"...Amity Park...here comes Sandy!" He stepped into the doorway and laughed evilly.
