Hill Valley [Hell Valley], California

1028 had just made it to the remains of Doctor Brown's garage and sniffled.

He kneeled down at the ashes and whispered, "I'm so sorry; Martian, Annie, and Doctor Brown. I'm sorry that I have betrayed you."

001/Timothy had just arrived and heard what 1028 had said. 1028 didn't know that 001/Timothy was there. 1028 took off his hood and revealed his identity. It was Douglas Needles himself. 001/Timothy was in shock. First Serena and now Needles! 001/Timothy approached Needles and put his hand on his shoulder. Needles perked and looked up. He saw his superior and gulped, hard. 001/Timothy bent down to his eye level and revealed to him his identity. Needles gasped in total surprise to this. He wasn't expecting Doctor Brown's great nephew to be his superior.

Timothy told him, "You're not the only one who betrayed them."

Needles asked, his voice leaving him, "You want to cut off your ties so you won't be able to look back?"

Timothy nodded. Since Needles also knew the time traveling stories, he understood how Martian once felt about 1985-A.

Needles asked, "Are you going to kill me too?"

Timothy answered, with tears in his eyes, "There has been too much blood split by us both. Let us agree that we shall not get in each other's way."

Needles, for the first time in twenty years, smiled as did Timothy. At least he was getting some of his dignity back. Timothy got closer to the ruins and joined Needles in paying their final respects. The two traitors never felt so good in a long time. After they had paid their respects, Timothy and Needles put their hoods back on and headed back to the citadel.

Needles commented, "Frankly, I'm glad that we are both traitors. At least we're still alive."

Timothy just smiled but since Needles couldn't see it; he responded, "At least for now."

Just then, their cell phones went off.

Timothy answered his first and said, "001 here. What's going on?"

023 reported, "The Resistance's Detroit post has gone up in smoke. All of the beings inside are dead."

001/Timothy wanted to curse badly as did 1028/Needles. They both knew that the Detroit post was where the Anti-Fairies and Pixies were hidden.

001/Timothy commented, trying not to snap, "Good job, 023. 1028 and I will return to base as soon as possible. We had some business to attend to."

023 responded, "Understood, 001."

With that, the connection went dead as Timothy yelled, as loud as he could, "Damn it!"

1028/Needles nodded in agreement as the two headed back to the citadel.

Fairy World

Nacey had returned to Fairy World. There was total silence. Nacey didn't like it. Scaring her more there were pools of a red substance everywhere. Nacey bent down to investigate it. She felt the red substance and knew that it was blood automatically. She sighed, heavily. She knew what that meant. Some of the, if not all, fairies were dead. She heard a moan and went towards it, with caution. She found the source of the moan and saw Jorgen there, bleeding. She went over to him. Jorgen stirred and saw her.

He smiled at her and said, through the pain, "Nance."

She put her finger over his lips and commented, "Stay here until you're strong enough to move."

She grabbed his wand and poofed up some alcohol to treat his wounds.

Jorgen joked, "Good, I could use a drink."

Nacey opened up the bottle and poured it on his wound, making him flinch in pain.

Nacey commented, to get his mind off the pain, "You're the craziest head fairy I know, you know that right?"

Jorgen responded, smirking, "I'm the only head fairy you know."

Nacey giggled a bit and said, "That's true but you're lucky that this wound didn't pierce your heart."

Jorgen put her hands on top of his heart as he commented, "I'm not so sure that it didn't."

Nacey looked at him with a whole bunch of concern and love. Just then, their lips met and they shared a very passionate kiss. Nacey always loved Jorgen and vice versa. They just never although they never expected that this whole situation would bring them together like this. Granted, Nacey and Jorgen were supposed to be grieving but they no longer cared. They just wanted to be near each other.

After they broke out of it, Jorgen told her, "Every fairy in Fairy World is dead….except me."

Nacey commented, "That means that you're counterpart is still alive."

Jorgen responded, "For now."

Nacey sighed as she wished that he didn't say that. She had wished that in her mind. She didn't want him to grant any shellfish wish in his condition like Timothy once did.

She asked, "Would you like me to take you to the safe haven?"

Jorgen answered, smiling at her, "Yes please."

Nacey smiled back at him but with tears in her eyes. Jorgen wiped away one of her tears as she noticed that he was crying too. She snuggled up to him as he wrapped his arms around her.

She whispered, "I don't know what I do without you, Jorgen Von Strangle."

Jorgen responded, "You might find out if you don't get me to the safe haven."

Nacey looked at him and sort of smiled. She used her island magic to escape them both to the safe haven.


AK1028: Well, that's the end of this chapter.

Cosmo: What? We're dead? You killed us off?

AK1028: (I look a little sheepish.) Well, it kind of gave the story the intensity that it needed.

Cosmo: Intensity? We're dead! What's intense about that?

AK1028: (I wag my finger at him.) Don't make me say it, Cosmo.

Cosmo: (He is scared.) Got it.

Abe: Please read and review!

AK1028: (I groan.) I wish Abe was back in Gettysburg, please! (Cosmo waves his wand and Abe disappears.) Thank you.

Cosmo: Welcome! Please read and review! And always think outside of the box!
