Chapter 4: M.A.R.F Festival
Norm wondered what to do now that he was out. Maybe he could get revenge on Chester for trying to enslave him. Norm smiled. That would work!
BOOM!
Chester appeared back in his mobile home. Without Norm and Calais, it felt empty.
Timmy was surprised to see the oil lamp appear in his house. How and why did it get in there?
He rubbed it curiously.
A red-haired woman with a green tail came out.
"Chosen One, I'm Calais the Genie! And you have just got three wishes!"
"A genie?" asked Timmy. "Tootie never told me about genies. I'm the Chosen One? Chosen for what?"
"You were Chosen to save the world from the Darkness," replied Calais.
"What's the Darkness?"
"A dark entity that has destroyed millions of worlds."
"Why are you here?"
"Because you need my help to save the world from the Darkness."
Timmy sighed in relief. He had help!
"I wish we were beside the Darkness!"
Calais groaned and GONGed.
They were floating in space, near what looked like a gigantic black hole tinged with purple. That was the Darkness.
"Chosen One, that is not how you defeat the Darkness," said Calais, rolling her eyes skyward. "There's a Cave Prophecy that'll explain how to do it. And you're allowed to wish for three more wishes once your first three are done."
"I wish we were at the Cave Prophecy, and I wish that I had three more wishes."
GONG!
They appeared inside a glowing cave. Above it there was sign that said:
CAVE OF DESTINY – FREE WI-FI
GONG!
"Creepy cave," commented Timmy nervously.
"Yeah, I know," replied Calais. "But, that doesn't matter."
Calais looked for the cave paintings. She spotted some but they were just the long story of the Darkness' previous defeat that she thought Timmy didn't need to here.
After some more searching, she found the actual Prophecy part.
"You've got to find the 'one Wand', which is hidden on Earth. According to this riddle: The Wand is hidden in rock and sealed with a Kiss. Kiss is capitalized. I don't know why."
Calais' mention of the capital Kiss made Timmy recall how his parents had said they were going to the M.A.R.F Festival, acronym for Middle Aged Rock Festival. On the ad, they showed him, it had said KISS was there. Capitalized KISS and rock!
"Hey, Calais, do you think the Wand is at the M.A.R.F Festival?"
"Yeah, I guess," replied Calais, feeling surprised to have her master ask her opinion.
"Then, I wish we were at the M.A.R.F Festival!"
GONG!
They appeared at the M.A.R.F Festival. They seemed to be early. Weird.
"Why are you two here?" asked an usher threateningly.
"We want the Wand!"
"Sorry, but there are no wands here. There is no band called 'the Wand.'"
"How about KISS?"
"I don't think they allow early performances."
"I wish I was the richest kid in any World," whispered Timmy.
GONG!
"Now, do they?" enquired Timmy, holding out the money he had just gained.
"Yes, now they do," replied the usher gruffly, taking the money. "KISS, two people have come early. They paid me tons of money, so you should come and play for them!"
KISS went onto the stage. They looked shocked that a kid had decided to see them in concert, since it was a Middle Aged Rock Festival. They started playing.
Timmy noticed that one of their guitars looked like a white Wand.
"Hey, KISS, can you let me hold your guitar?"
"Strange request, little dude," one of them replied. "Are you the Chosen One?"
"Yep, I'm Timmy Turner all right! The Chosen One!"
The world darkened as a dark shape covered the sun. The KISS band member tossed Timmy his guitar.
"How do I play it?"
"You're kidding, right?"
Robots came out of the Darkness.
"Show's over, Chosen One."
"Over? No, it's just starting!" shouted Timmy, trying a few notes on the Wand.
Some light came out, but not much.
"You need to feel it," replied another KISS member.
"Feel it?"
"Yeah," replied Calais. "It's a magical object. Playing it won't be enough if you want to it to really work."
"OK, then," said Timmy, gritting his teeth as KISS launched into another song.
The band played louder and louder, causing Timmy to start to catch the beat, to feel it. His hand began to glow.
The band sped up, and Timmy sped up with them.
Calais began to sing Norm's song, Gimme the Wand, trying to fit it into the dissimilar beat. She figured that it might give it more power. Yes, and she hoped that Norm would hear his words from miles away and come back. A futile hope, yes but a hope.
Timmy blasted light into the Darkness, by doing various guitar moves. After a few beams, the Darkness looked pained and left the Earth with its Eliminators, putting the planets back in their places.
Timmy sighed in relief.
"How'd you guys get the Wand?"
"We are M.O.R.F, Magical Order of Rocking Fairies!"
"You're fairies? Cool!"
"Yep, and its time for the show, so let's rock out!"
Timmy's parents, Crocker and all the other middle aged audience members zoomed to the concert.
As far as anyone on Earth or in Fairy World knew, the Darkness was vanquished.
However, if you looked up at the sky and focused on the Big Dipper, you'd know that people did not know very far.
A buff Fairy Soldier talked into a radio, giving a report on the status of the Big Dipper Brigade. He too believed that the Darkness was gone for good. Until the Darkness annihilated his constellation…
For Timmy hadn't defeated the Darkness, he had only driven it away. Nevertheless, it was coming back.
