W.I.T.C.H. fan: Whew! Okay really sorry about the long wait guys. But it's been the last week of the term at my school and I've been really busy.
The final battle
In the Imperial city Matt and the Troops were parading toward Elyon's palace while the people cheered, thinking that they had saved Meridian. Fireworks lit the sky and colorful lanterns hung everywhere. Behind the troops came a large dragon costume with dancers.
"Make way for the heroes of Meridian!" A man cried.
Matt was trying to hold is head up high, but he found in difficult with the knowledge that the true hero wasn't being rewarded. Nigel, Eirc, and Caleb didn't even bother to try.
"This is wrong, guys," Nigel muttered.
Eric nodded. "Yeah, Ty, er, Will, should be the one who's being honored."
Caleb clenched his fists. "I think it's a load of crap that Will couldn't celebrate just because of a stupid gender issue! Man this country is sexist!"
Suddenly a familiar girl with bright red hair burst through the crowd on her horse toward the troops. "Matt!" She called coming up.
"Will?" Matt asked in surprise.
"Matt, Phobos and some of his army survived and they're in the city," Will said.
"You don't belong here, Will. Go home, now," Matt said.
Will was going to give up so easily. "Matt I swear that I saw them in the mountains. You have to believe me!"
"Why should I? You do have a habit for lying," Matt replied, as he rode ahead.
Will's eyes narrowed. Then she rode in front of Matt. "Why else would I come back? You said you trust Ty. How is Will any different?"
Matt didn't answer he just rode ahead. Will turned to Nigel, Caleb, and Eric. "Keep your eyes open, guys, I know they're here."
Nigel smiled at her. "We're on it, girl!"
Will was shocked for a minute then she smiled and rode off to find some help. She stopped Huggles at the gates of the palace and got off and began to go into the large crowd.
"Where are you going?" Irma asked.
"To find someone who will believe," Will replied, as she kept running.
Finally the parade stopped in front of the palace steps where Elyon stood with Cedric. The advisor had reluctantly agreed to keep quiet about Will, but he wasn't happy about it. The dancers stopped and a gong sounded. The crowd quieted as Elyon spoke.
"People of Meridian, thanks to the brave soldiers Meridian will sleep without fear tonight," Elyon said. The crowd applauded at her little speech.
Meanwhile Will was running through the crowd trying to find someone to help her. She ran up to a man. "Sir the queen is danger," She said. The man shrugged her off. Will went over to another man. "Please the Huns are here you have to help-!" Again she was shrugged off.
Will sighed in frustration and turned to her tiny friends. "No one will listen!"
Blunk shook his head slightly. "Oh, Blunk sorry. Will say something?"
"Blunk!" Irma and Will cried at once.
"What Blunk say?" The passling asked confused.
Irma sighed. "Will I think now that you're not playing dress up people aren't going to listen to you."
"There has to be something I can do to get these people to listen to me," Will said.
Back with the soldiers Matt knelt before Elyon. "Your highness I present to you the sword of Phobos," He said holding up the sword for her.
Elyon looked at him her face sympathetic. "I know what this must meet to you Captain Olsen. I'm sorry about your uncle. He would have been very proud of you right now."
As the queen was about to take the sword a hawk suddenly flew down and grabbed it. He flew to the top of the palace and dropped it. Out of the shadows a hand caught it. Following the hand came Phobos. The crowd gasped and Will narrowed her eyes at the villain.
Suddenly from out of the dragon costume the rest of the surviving Huns burst out of it. They knocked Matt to the ground and grabbed Elyon running up the palace steps, with her in their grip.
"No!" Matt yelled, getting up and running after the Huns. He was too late. The Huns had already closed the large palace doors behind them. He hit his fist against the door. "Why didn't I listen to Will," He sighed.
A few minutes later, Matt and the rest of the soldiers had lifted up a huge statue and were trying to break down the doors. Will ran up and watched with concern.
"There's no way that they'll get to Queen Elyon in time," She said. The red head thought for a minute and looked at the pillars of the palace. Suddenly she was struck with a brilliant idea. She ran up the troops and whistled getting their attention.
"Hey guys, I have an idea!" She cried before running off.
Matt, Nigel and Eric looked at each other, nodded and took off after Will without a second thought. Matt looked after them, surprised.
In one corner of the palace Will soon had Nigel, Eric, and Caleb dressed up as women. She was back to wearing a dress as well. The four of them walked up to a palace pillar and took of their sashes. They wrapped the sashes around the pillars as they prepared to climb them. Will smiled at her friends when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She whipped her head around and saw Matt standing with smirk on his face. He took of his cape and wrapped it around his own pillar. Will smiled widely, as did Nigel, Eric, and Caleb. Soon the five of them were climbing the pillars to rescue Elyon.
Meanwhile the Huns dragged Elyon to a high balcony. Suddenly Phobos jumped down in front of Elyon. "Boo," He said.
He hopped down and turned to his men. "Guard the door," He ordered. As his men left, Phobos turned to Elyon. "Your walls and armies have fallen, your highness, and now it is your turn. Bow to me!"
Elyon just glared at him icily without saying a word.
Meanwhile, Miranda, Frost, and Tracker were on guard. Will and her friends were around the corner. Will turned to her friends. "Okay we all know the plan. Do you guys have any questions?"
"Yeah, does this dress make me look fat or something?" Nigel asked.
In response Will slapped him. "Ow!" Nigel cried.
While Matt stayed behind the wall, Will, Nigel, Caleb, and Eric walked in front of the Huns trying to act girly.
"They're just concubines," Frost said.
"Ugly concubines," Miranda muttered.
"Oh he's so cute," Nigel said in a high girly voice.
Frost waved shyly at them and Miranda looked at him in disgust.
Meanwhile Phobos' hawk spotted Matt who quickly hid again. The hawk was about to screech when suddenly fire appeared out of nowhere and showered down on the bird. When it disappeared the hawk was featherless. It looked up and saw Irma and Blunk above him. Irma was holding pepper sauce and smirking.
"Now that's how you roast a chicken Blunk," Irma said, while Blunk laughed madly.
Meanwhile Will, Nigel, Eric, and Caleb suddenly attacked, Miranda, Frost, and Tracker. Caleb and Eric quickly knocked out Tracker. Nigel punched Frost in the face, causing him to lose some teeth. Will kicked and punched Miranda before pining her to the ground.
"Matt go!" Will cried.
Matt quickly ran out of his hiding spot and ran to save Elyon.
Back with Phobos and Elyon, Phobos was getting frustrated. "This game you play is getting old little girl. Bow to me now!"
Elyon just glared at him. "No matter how the wind howls the mountain cannot bow to it."
Phobos clenched his teeth together. "Then you will kneel in pieces!" He yelled.
He swung his sword at Elyon, but Matt suddenly leapt in between them and began to fight with Phobos. Will and others burst into the room.
"Eric get the queen!" Will cried.
"Sorry your highness," Eric said. Then he picked up Elyon and ran to the balcony. Using he sash he slid down the rope.
"No!" Phobos yelled.
By this time, Elyon, and Eric were safely on the ground with Nigel and Caleb. Phobos clenched his fists. Then he punched Matt and the captain slumped to the ground. Will grimaced.
"Will come on!" Nigel yelled to her. Will looked up at Phobos as he made his way over. Thinking quickly Will grabbed his sword and cut the rope before Phobos could grab it.
Phobos looked into the square but he couldn't see Elyon anywhere. "No," He said. Then he let out a roar of rage. He turned to Matt who was just waking up.
"You! You took away my victory!" Phobos yelled, grabbing Matt be the collar.
Will's shoe hit Phobos in the head. "No!" She yelled. "I did!" With that, Will pulled her hair up in the style that she had had it in when disguised as a soldier.
Phobos' eyes widned. "The soldier from the mountain," He gasped.
He narrowed his eyes and began to go toward Will. Will quickly put her show back on and ran down the steps. She closed the doors behind her, but Phobos pounded on them. Suddenly his fist burst through the door inches from Will's face.
She took off running down the hall. Suddenly Irma and Blunk came by riding on the hawk.
"So what's the plan?" Irma asked.
"Uh…" Will said.
"YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN!?" Irma screamed.
"Hey I'm making this up as I…" She stopped when she passed a window and saw a fireworks tower. "…Go," She finished.
Will smirked. "Irma I need you to-"
"Way ahead of you girl," Irma said, catching n fat. "Come on Blunk let's go." The two jumped on a kite and flew toward the tower.
Suddenly Phobos leapt around the corner and began to chase Will. She jumped onto a column and Phobos whacked it with his sword causing to fall and break through the wall of the palace.
"AHHHHH!" Will screamed. The girl quickly stood up and jumped onto the roof of the palace. She looked at the tower and saw Irma and Blunk arriving.
In the tower the tower, Julian and Drake were lighting fireworks when a dark shadow appeared behind them.
"Citizens I need fire power," A voice.
The two men jumped when they turned around. "Who are you?" Julian asked.
"Your worst nightmare," Irma replied darkly, spreading the kite so she looked like a monster. Beside her Blunk was doing the same thing.
Drake and Julian quickly leapt from the tower, but luckily landed okay.
In the crowd a man cried out. "On the roof! Look!"
Everyone looked up and saw Will running on the roof. She stopped and lined the fireworks tower up with where she was standing.
Suddenly Phobos burst through the roof startling Will. She backed up as Phobos made his way toward her. Will pulled out her fan and opened it.
"It looks like you're out of ideas," Phobos smirked. Then he lunged his sword at Will. She dodged it and the sword slipped through her fan. She closed it and twisted her hand. The sword flew into the air and Will caught it.
"Not quite," Will smirked. "Ready Irma?" She called.
Phobos turned around and saw Irma standing with the kite on. "I am ready baby!" Irma yelled ripping the kite off to show a large rocket.
She took out a match and ran it across the roof lighting it. Irma handed it to Blunk. "Light me baby!" She said.
Blunk quickly lighted the string at the end of the rocket. Phobos lunged at Will. She bent down and kicked Phobos' feet out from under him, tripping him. Will took the sword and pinned Phobos' clothes to the roof.
Suddenly the rocket burst forward toward Phobos. He tried to leave, but the sword held him in place. The rocket then hit him square in the stomach sending him straight toward the fireworks tower. Irma grabbed the sword with Blunk on her back, letting the rocket do its work.
Will quickly grabbed the two of them and began to run. "Get off the roof. Get off the roof. Get off the roof," She chanted as she ran.
Phobos let out a roar of despair as he and rocket flew into the fireworks tower causing an explosion and destroying Phobos in the process.
Will jumped off the roof and grabbed a paper lantern on a rope. She slid down and then let go when she saw Matt beneath her. She knocked into him and the two landed safely on the ground. They looked at each other and smiled, as Phobos' sword landed next to them.
Irma skidded across the ground on her rear end a few times, laughing hysterically. She held up her hand and caught Blunk. The girl looked at him with a smile.
"Blunk, I don't care what you say or what you do, but you my friend are a lucky passling," Irma smirked.
Blunk began to tear up and he and Irma hugged. "Blunk never been so happy in Blunk's life," He sniffed.
