"Is the potion ready?" Amanda asked. p
"Almost, but we need to at least test it to see if it works, and unless one of you guys would want to be my guinea pig, I would suggest finding me something that we can use as a test subject," Sucy said. p
"I have something in mind," Amanda said, giving Sucy what seems to be a binder of some kind. p
"You do realize that if the potion does not work, which it will, Akko's Shiny Chariot's collection will be in another world," Sucy said.p
"Well, it will not be an issue if Akko is not here," Amanda said, in a painful chuckle. p
It has been months since Akko, Diana, Hannah, and Barbara disappeared into the Star Wars movies. While the professors were trying to figure out how to get their students back, Akko's friends have been hard at work, gathering the ingredients and recreating the potion that made their friends disappear. Students have been talking as they took notice of the disappearance of not only the great Cavendish but also of her girlfriend and two teammates. p
Now, the professors have no idea that Sucy, Lotte, and Green team were recreating the potion, as the young witches were being secretive. The only professor that knows what they are doing is Professor Ursula. Since the girls' disappearance, Professor Ursula has been at least guiding the girls to the right direction. She knows that keeping what the young witches are doing as a secret is not a good idea, but at least it is better than what the professors are planning, or at least lack of. p
As Sucy added the last ingredients to the cauldron, there was a knock on the door. Amanda, getting up from the bed she was laying on and stretching, walked towards the door and opened it ajar. She saw that it was Professor Ursula, who was looking a bit gloomy. p
"Hey Professor, what seems to be the problem?" Amanda asked, noticing the professor's mood. p
"Hey Amanda, is Sucy in here?" Ursula asked ignoring the question. p
"Yeah, why?" Amanda asked. p
"Can I come in?" Ursula asked. p
"Sure," Amanda said, opening the door a bit to allow the young professor to come in. She closed the door behind her once Ursula entered the dorm. The other young witches were surprised to see the solemn look of the professor as she walked toward the middle of the room. p
"We…have a problem. The headmistress has received a letter from Akko's parents asking about her. They stated that Akko has not called nor written to them. And they are not the only ones that are worried about their child. Hannah and Barbara's parents both wrote to us, questioning their daughters' lack of communication with them. The only person who has not contacted us about their child is Diana's aunt. The Headmistress wrote back to them, telling them that the girls have been very busy lately on a project. But I do not think that the parents bought it. They have requested a meeting with the headmistress in five months' time after the finals," Ursula explained. p
"What do you want us to do with them?" Amanda asked. p
"Nothing except bring those girls back home, safely," Ursula said, "I have told the professors of your project. They were running out of hope and could not know what to do to bring those girls back. Most of them already lost all hope and believed them to be dead. Only Finnelan and I believe that they are still alive. We believe in you girls, just make sure that you come back safely." p
Ursula walked out of the dorm, with Amanda following to the door, closing the door behind her. Amanda let out an exhausted breath as she slid down the door, sitting with her face in her legs. p
"Why did this have to happen to them?" Amanda asked herself, "Why did that idiot have to crash onto the potion?" p
"What if we don't see them again?" Lotte asked. p
"We will, I promise," Sucy said, as she was mixing the potion together. p
"What if this potion does not work? Then what will we do?" Amanda asked. p
"So certain are you," a voice called out. p
The girls were looking around to see who had said that. Their eyes landed on an old green looking goblin. "Not believing in yourself are you? Not believing in your skill to rescue your friends?" the goblin asked. p
"Who are you?" Lotte asked. p
"Friend am I to you and your friends. Friends of this world and to those who are trapped in mine," the goblin said. p
Amanda sits up to see who the goblin is. She gasped at who was standing in the middle of the dorm. "Yoda?" Amanda asked. p
"Hmm, know me you do, like your friend did," Yoda said. p
"Yeah, you were very influential to many children of the past 42 years," Amanda said. p
"Are Akko, Diana, Hannah, and Barbara safe?" Lotte asked. p
"Safe, they are. Just lost. But worry do not, for the force is with them as it is with you," Yoda said. p
"What do you mean the force is with us?" Lotte asked. p
"Very powerful you girls are. Yes, very powerful. Are able to travel between worlds through an ancient form of the force you do," Yoda explained. p
"Ancient form of the force?" Lotte asked. p
"Yes. Speak with the dead you do," Yoda said pointing to Lotte, "Connects with the force around us. Such raw and unbridled it is." Yoda then turned to Constanze and said, "Convert the force into machines you do. Traditional, they are not. Unique, they are. Will influence some civilizations they will, but not yet." Yoda continued, now pointing to Sucy. "An alchemist you are. Use these potions you do, not only to help you, but help your friends. Use what you must to rescue them, not only to bring them back, but to help them with their battles," Yoda said. He goes to Jasminka and said, "Hungry you always are, but loyal to your friends you are too. In trouble your friends will be, be with them you always are." He then walks towards Amanda. Amanda knelt down as Yoda was looking through her. "Hmm, interesting you are. A troublemaker you tend to be, but loyal to your friends. Willing to risk your life for them you are, brave you are. But doubting yourself you are now. Hmm, and what will that do? Believe in yourself you must, all of you. If you don't, then failed you did in rescuing your friends," Yoda said. p
"But how would we know if we are able to if the potion is not even ready?" Amanda asked. p
"Patience you must have. Knowing how to pass is knowing how to fail. Many steps all of you will take. Many of them, fall will you. But failing is good, picking yourselves up is all it takes," Yoda explained, "The force will guide you, but give up you must not." p
"What happens if the potion does not work? We do not have the time nor patience," Amanda asked.p
Yoda hit Amanda with his walking stick, with Amanda shouting in pain. "What is that for?" she asked, rubbing her head. p
"Painful it is to learn, but necessary. Work it will, just have to yourselves you must. But beware the darkside as it is tempting. Yield to it, you must not. For if you do, corruptible you might become corrupt," Yoda said, "Trust in the force, as it will protect you and guide you." p
Yoda reached out his hand and a spoon was levitating in the air. He controlled the spoon, guiding it to the cauldron. He then grabbed a spoonful of the potion and carefully spilled it onto Akko's book of collector cards. The room was filled with smoke as the witches were coughing up a storm. When the smoke dissipates, both the book and Yoda were gone. Curious, Amanda turned on the TV looking through the entire film of Empire Strikes Back. She paused it at the part where the crew of the Millennium Falcon was hiding in the cave and there in the background was Akko's book. p
Excitement grew among the witches as they realized that the potion was a success. Both the green team and the red team member walked towards the headmistress with the good news. p
