Disclaimer: I do not own Captain Planet

I thought I posted this chapter but it was proven to be me just not paying attention.

Ma-Ti didn't know what was happening to him during the duration of his move. He made a noble sacrifice to stop the villain wearing dark armor…

He awoke from his bed inside the old cabin the Planeteers were told to wait in by Gaia. It was early sunrise out and Ma-Ti was the only one still asleep. The rest of the Planeteers were outside sitting by a campfire eating marshmallows.

Ma-Ti walked outside wearing his vest and planet shirt with his ring feeling cold on his fingers. He joined Wheeler, Gi, Kwame, and Linka. Wheeler had his hands around Gi who was singing while Kwame had his hand around Linka who was playing a guitar. The girls took lessons on music last year and were hoping to appear in a Thirsty Thursday's at a friend of Linka's fathers at a cottage a week after tomorrow.

The song they played Ma-Ti couldn't listen to because he remembered hearing it yesterday. He had a small migraine trying to think if tomorrow was just a dream or a paradox brought him back into the past.

"Ma-Ti," Kwame said being the first one to notice him. "What is wrong?"

"I'm not sure…" Ma-Ti looked down from his migraine to see his ring still attached to his finger. "We should call Captain Planet."

The music stopped from Linka's guitar and Gi stopped singing from her mouth. The four other Planeteers looked at Ma-Ti wondering what would cause him to ask them to do that. All four of them looked at their rings this time thinking about what they should do.

"Let's let our powers unit," Kwame said.

The five boys and girls raised their rings together as a small glow of light illuminated from their rings.

"Captain Planet!"

A big root grew out of the ground with an array of different lights shinning out of the ground. It was amazing for Ma-Ti to see because in his dream Captain Planet didn't appear when they needed his help. Now he appeared just like he should.

"How can I help my brave Plane— "

An explosion went off far away from the cabin area the five Planeteers were staying in. Ma-Ti realized now he had just fallen for a trap. Tomorrow wasn't a battle that would end the Planeteers, someone just used some kind of strange powers to manipulate Ma-Ti with time and false images.

"Captain Planet, stay away from that— "

Before Ma-Ti could warn Captain Planet they were seeing a fissure crevassing through the ground. All that remained was the unsightly image of tar, balls of fire sputtering out of the tar, and the pained cries of poor forest animals who got caught up in the crevice.

"This looks like a job for Captain Planet. When the Earth ruptures Captain Planet will be there to follow Gaia's command."

He flew towards the sight of the fire with the Planeteers watching him sweating from his body. There were many things not right about today and they weren't adding up to anyone not even Ma-Ti who knew the person behind these attacks.

Captain Planet flew until he reached the end of where the fissure started. It wasn't a natural disaster that ruptured the ground but a man wearing black armor. This looked like a day Captain Planet would lay off any Halloween cracks because he seemed like a dangerous person.

"You have two options sirs: you can repair the damage you're doing to the ground or I'll have to beat you for the damage you've done and the lack of compliance your giving me." Captain Planet told him.

The man in the black armor said nothing to Captain Planet. He stood up, brushed his legs off of any dirt he gained from kneeling in sand, and he rocked back and forth doing the most unthinkable; he impersonated Captain Planet.

"I'm Captain Planet, I like to dress up like I'm metrosexual, am at the end of a whip by a bunch of kids, don't have any reproductive organs, have only made one funny joke to villains, and when I'm done I realize I'm going to get sucked in or sucked out."

Captain Planet would need a moment to wrap his head around how rude this man was to him. He found an answer when he remembered he could fly and punch people like Superman can. He could only give him a love tap though.

Captain Planet flew fast towards the black armored knight, but he brought out a barrier that protected him from the fists of Captain Planet. The pain wasn't the blow of the barrier but by the smart mouth of his opposite looking man.

"My name source of power is five rings. Gaia could have just made those rings very cheap. What am I if not just a means of Gaia to save the world by not using much effort to do it. Do I even have other gods looking out for me?"

Using his chest Captain Planet fired a sunray that would blind his opponent. He flew at a speed called Mach 4 hitting the knight with a roundhouse. This time his foot connected to his neck.

"Who's laughing now?" Captain Planet said, although the moment he said it the joke sounded unintendedly mean.

With both knuckles Captain Planet squatted down to his opponent abdomen and punched him with both knuckles. His opponent looked like he wasn't fighting back against Captain Planet, but he had the perfect move to fight Captain Planet. The plan was looking at Captain Planet's backside with glowing red eyes.

"Thanks for being a total nincompoop, Captain Planet," the knight said.

Before Captain Planet could respond a wild boar hit his body with his tusks scratching his skin. Captain Planet tried swatting the boar off of him but he couldn't hit him. With a boar on his body Captain Planet couldn't fly without the boar plummeting at heights unknown that would harm or kill it.

Captain Planet's Calvary arrived when the sun was fully up. If they thought though a master of evil such as the knight would let them fight together…they didn't know true battle.
