"Neopet Chasers"
Chapter 14: "They Knew"

"Wait a minute!" I said suddenly and looked at Ms. Tafashi. "That rock you were holding let Faerie Bell Air Change."

"They're the Faerie Crystals, Mel." Bri explained. "That was the Air Crystal she had. My mom had the Light Crystal and your mom has the Water Crystal. They can turn into cards you're able to scan. Those cards make that certain element stronger." She held up a Light Change card for emphasis.

"I reckon you want an explanation as to how we know, right?" Ms. Tafashi asked us.

All three adults took out a Neoscanner. "As you all know, these are Neoscanners." Ms. Tafashi started. "Jamie, Taylor, and myself were Neopet Chasers long before you were born. When I saw Amelia's Neoscanner in class for the first time I knew you two would miss class every now and then. That's the very reason I made that story up to Mr. Stachler the Kia Light Changed."

"You were there!" Bri exclaimed. Ms. Tafashi nodded.

"Then Ms. Tafashi told us." Jamie piped up. ""But we already knew. I saw Amelia's Neoscanner on her desk in front of her computer before she woke up. And I also knew that she had Neomadonia. I told Taylor about. She said she saw Brittany making the cure, so I pretended Amelia was still sick with the common cold."

"You knew! But how! I hadn't even told Mel yet!" Bri asked her mother in disbelief.

"Well, one day I heard a second voice in your room. It didn't sound like Amelia, so I quietly snuck up there. That's when I saw Kia and you practicing scanning your cards."

"OK, now answer this. Who are the other two Chasers?"

I saw Ms. Tafashi jump at Bri's question. Mom and Mrs. Clipardy looked at her questionably. When Ms. Tafashi didn't say anything, they knew she didn't want us to know their identity.

"If you won't talk, then I will. Are they Ian and Blaze?"

Before she could respond, a Red Lupe appeared beside her. "Kyita, are you alright?"

"Yes, Crimson, I'm fine. You tell your owner to take care of himself. His brother, also."

Crimson nodded in confirmation and vanished.

"That Red Lupe wasn't yours Ms. Tafashi?" Bri asked her.

"No, that was... er... the other Chaser's Neopet. He was worried about me, and since I don't want them to show, he sent Crimson."

Kia spoke up. "Ms. Tafashi, the other Neopet is a Green Kougra, correct?"

"Yes. Why do you ask? And how do you know?"

"Just wondering." But Kia soon had a change in tone. "Bri, watch out!" and pushed her out of the way. A black blast attack hit where Bri once stood.

"You... You saved me Kia..."

A Shadow Kougra jumped from nowhere onto Faerie Bell.

"Faerie Bell!" I yelled.

"Get off of her, you creep! Tail Spin!"

Once Faerie Bell recovered, she attacked. "Horn Blaster!"

The Shadow Kougra didn't even flinch.

"What!"

"They have to element change, Mel! Neoscan... Light Change Energize!"

"Kia... element change to... Light!"

"Neoscan... Wind Change Energize!"

"Faerie Bell... element change to...Air!"

"Shadow Claw!" The Kougra lept at Kia.

"Light Barrier!"

"Wind Funnel!" The Kougra was blown away.

"Wing Glow!"

"Shadow Blast!" They hit.

"Kia!" I heard Bri yell. "Neoscan... Healing Potion Energize!"

Kia's attack overpowered the Shadow Kougra and it was destroyed.

"He was alot weaker than I expected him to be." Bri commented.

The Kougra disappeared back into Neopia through the warp portal on the ground.

"There's our ride." Kia said as she flew beside us.

When I looked down, I knew what she was talking about. It was a portal that could take us to Neopia.


I know it's short, but there were certain things I wanted this chapter to accomplish. You and the characters finding out about the three adults, and Bri and Mel finding a way to Neopia. Next chapter, the story starts to get interesting.
