Dimmsdale [Helldale], California
Two shadows in the night ran through the streets of Helldale. It was twenty eight year old Beatrice Tang, a member of the resistance. Behind her was her good friend and magical being aide, Phillip O'Connell. Beatrice and Phillip stopped for a second to rest. Beatrice asked Phillip, "How much farther?" Phillip, taking out a Plumber's badge, checked their coordinates.
Phillip answered, "It's only a few more paces. Do you really think saving Veronica is going to get us the information that we need?"
Beatrice answered, "Veronica was closer to Timothy than I was and you know that."
Phillip sighed as he responded, "She did not and you know it!"
Beatrice asked, annoyed, "Can we talk about this later?"
Just then, a laser blast captured their attention both of them looked up and saw several of Victoria's lackeys.
Phillip answered, "Later works for me! Run for it!" The two ran out of their hiding spot and the lackeys were right on their tail. Phillip stopped for a second and chanted, "Terra spin!"
Within a flash, a cyclone appeared, throwing the lackeys off of them.
Beatrice commented, "Nice move. Now, let's go!"
With that, the two kept running and eventually found Veronica who was in an asylum. Beatrice and Phillip arrived in her room. Veronica wasn't in very good shape. She looked very pale and she also looked heavily medicated.
She wheezed, "Trixie, is that you?"
Beatrice responded, "I go by Beatrice now but yeah it's me."
Veronica turned to Phillip and asked, "Is that Timothy with you?"
Phillip rolled his eyes at the confused girl. Phillip did look a lot like Timothy but everyone knew that he was not Timothy.
He answered, "No, my name is Phillip O'Connell. We're looking for Timothy."
Veronica perked up at this as Phillip started to zap his way through her straight jacket using his island magic.
Veronica asked, "Why are you looking for Timothy? Isn't he with you?"
Beatrice shook her head and answered, "Not really, Veronica."
Phillip added, "We have no idea where the hell he is!"
By the time Phillip had said that, he freed Veronica.
Beatrice asked, "Do you know where he is?"
Veronica answered, "I have not seen Timothy after that screwball of a dictator put me in here."
Beatrice sighed and put a hand over her eyes. She started to cry. Phillip put his hand on Beatrice's shoulder.
He commented, "Calm down, Beatrice. We'll find him. Wanda said that he's still alive and that's something."
Beatrice looked up at Phillip with a tear strained smile. Since the fairies had their own problems in Fairy World, they couldn't be of much help but they were able to provide a glimmer of hope that Timothy, the Chosen One, was indeed alive.
She responded, "You're right, Phillip. Thanks."
Phillip nodded and just then, more lackeys came in.
One of the lackeys slurred, "You damn resistance again! You're going to pay for this by being imprison here!"
Veronica yelled, "Oh no, you don't. I'm so not staying here any longer!"
With that, she threw a potted plant at one of the lackeys. It hit him right in the head and it caused a domino effect.
Phillip instructed, "Fall back!"
With those orders, the two girls followed Phillip and ran out of the lackeys' sight.

Victoria's citadel
One of the lackeys that were there went back to Victoria's citadel to report to his boss, who was Timothy in disguise. Timothy knew that this whole future was his fault as did his friends and extended family. He remembered Cosmo and Wanda as well as Poof. What he didn't know was that his friends were out looking for him to ask him to join the resistance. Timothy was trapped behind enemy lines and if anyone had found him out, there would be hell to pay for him. But, Timothy felt like Martian did when he had learned that 1985-A was his fault. 'I made this mess and I'll be the one to clean it up.' Timothy thought as his underling approached him.
He barked, his voice disguised, "Talk."
The minion reported, "Sir, the resistance was able to free Veronica Denise Star. Witnesses say that it was the work of Beatrice Elizabeth Tang and of Phillip Richard O'Connell."
Timothy smiled and since his face was hidden, no one could see it. He snarled though, to keep suspicion off of him.
Victoria arrived on the scene and asked, "What's the matter 001?"
001 was Timothy's made up code number, which kept his identity a secret…even from Victoria. Timothy turned around and bowed to her. He hated it but it showed his 'loyalty'.
He reported, "You're Excellency, this minion of mine has reported that Beatrice and Phillip have freed Veronica."
Victoria turned to Timothy's underling and asked, "Is this true?"
The underling answered, "Yes ma'am and it is also documented that they were asking about Timothy Turner."
Timothy froze at the sound of his own name.
Victoria yelled, "Don't you dare say that name in my presence!"
Timothy looked up at his underling and saw that he or she was shaking and stated, "You're Excellency, he did not know that you despise…the twerp."
Victoria composed herself and commented, "Yes, you're right 001. You are forgiven. Just watch it around me, got it?"
The underling responded, still shaking, "Yes, you're Excellency."
With that, Victoria dismissed them.
The underling pulled Timothy aside and said, "Thanks."
Timothy pretended to snap and responded, "Just watch it for you're on very thin ice."
Timothy walked away with the magic of guilt on him. But, he knew that he couldn't show a soft side or everyone would get suspicious. 'If I'm going to save this world, then I can't let anyone discover that I am on this side. I've got to make sure that Vicky's time traveling plan goes on without a hitch. It's the only way I can get to the past and avoid being killed by Vicky,' Timothy thought. Seeing that he was the only one that knew the time coordinates of his fatal mistake, he was the only one to make things right.
Cosmo: Hey, wait a minute. Does this mean that we won't get an appearance?
AK1028: You're just getting mentioned right now. I haven't made up my mind to include the fairies just yet.
Cosmo: Then, what's the point of having this story?
AK1028: (I sigh.) It's to show the dark side of 'Channel Chasers', you dope!
Cosmo: O-oh.
AK1028: (I sigh again.) Please read and review. And always think outside of the box!
