Chapter 13: Eliminators as Dictators

Barbed wire surrounded Fairy World, which had lost all its color. All the fairies, even Jorgen, who was caught when he left the Cave of Destiny, were marching through Fairy World, wearing drab black-and-white striped outfits.

Two Eliminators watched from above. Their expression proved that robots could feel smug. Fairy World was totally under their control, and the Chosen One couldn't stop them.

The Eliminators had shredded the fairies' wands (and one of them had absorbed one), and redirected the magic from any wand that they couldn't shred, or absorb to themselves. No one, fairy, or mortal, could stop them now.

The Lead Eliminator had a plan. He wanted to destroy the Darkness so it would never order him around again. The fact that the Darkness had the Chosen One at his heart made him like the plan even more. Two birds with one stone.


Love magic didn't work on Eliminators. Cupid had tried it when they had attempted to trap him, but his love arrows never had any effect beyond the normal effect of arrows. He supposed that was because the Eliminators weren't organic creatures, with natural life. They were machines brought to technomagical life by the Darkness.


Jorgen had checked Da Rules before leaving the Cave of Destiny, and they were all very fresh in his mind. None of them would be helpful for defeating the Darkness. Now, Jorgen knew the situation was dire.


Usually when Wanda was trapped like this, Cosmo was with her too. This time, however, Cosmo wasn't with her. He had been lost for months, bordering on a year. She thought that he'd come back as soon as the world was saved from the Pixies, and Anti-Fairies. However, he hadn't, not even when the Anti-Fairies came back.


The fairies chanted to themselves, as they marched, just to pass the time. However, the chanting managed to be even worse than the marching, and second place to being ruled by Eliminators. Most fairies weren't great singers, as they had learned to their dismay when they entered Fairy Idol.

The fairies wondered where the Chosen One was, and why he wasn't saving them. Wanda would be worried about Timmy, if she knew he was the Chosen One, but the Chosen One's identity was never fully revealed to the entire fairy populace.


"Go to Earth, subordinate ten," ordered the Lead Eliminator. "Use the wand you absorbed to turn it into metal, and anyone on it into a robot."

"Yes, sir," replied the Eliminator.

POOF!


Cupid had heard it from where he was, and internally panicked. If the Earth became metal, and all the humans became robots, love would begin to disappear from existence, and he'd lose his powers, causing him to wither, but not die.

There was no way that he'd let that happen, if he could stop it. However, he couldn't, and had to let it happen.
