Chapter IX: Storm Clouds
Timmy
My head throbbed as I opened my eyes; I'm not sure what happened as my memories are blurry. The last thing I remember is being Mrs. Fenton's arms and hearing her voice. It was nice to have someone actually care about me and love me I wish I could stay in her arms forever.
"Mrs. Fen..," I moaned as I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes only to realize that I am no longer at Danielle's house. "Where am I?" I asked frightened seeing stone walls and a small window. "MRS. FENT…," I began to scream until I feel a hand cover my mouth.
"Take it easy sport, you're all right," I hear a voice tell me as I look up and see Wanda in front of me, "You don't want your stepmother to hear," she says slowly removing her hand. "We were so worried about you," she said looking concerned.
"I'll be fine Wanda, I was lucky enough the Danielle's cousin Jazz took me home with her," I told her thinking of how happy I was at Danielle's house and cringed at the fact being back home. My eyes darted around and saw a tray with needles and sedatives on it and shuddered.
"Don't about that, you're step mother still thinks you're drugged and is too busy talking to that…," she started to say until a chill went up her spine, "…guy," she finished as I raised an eyebrow, "you must have absorbed some of the ecto-energy when you were at your friend's house," she said clearing the cobwebs out as I saw poof appear from the corner of my eye.
"Thank goodness you're all right," he said as I floated over to me, "If weren't against Da Rules I would give Dex a taste of his own medicine," my godbrother said angrily as Wanda sighed and nodded, she felt the same way too. I was about to say something to make them feel better when a cold feeling washed across me.
"Yes well," a refined voice said as blue skinned fairy with bat wings and green eyes floated in. He looked like Cosmo except he was dressed in fancy clothes, a derby in place of a crown, and a monocle over his left eye. His smile revealed vampire like fangs. "I think we all share those sentiments," the fairy said as Wanda got between me and him.
"What are you're doing here, Anti-Cosmo?" she asked glaring at him as I did a double take, Anti-Fairies were real? I remember once before I thought I saw someone similar to him but Wanda said it was a dream and Anti-Fairies were just a myth but apparently they're not. I have vague memories of going to see my grandparents with my dad when I was younger and hearing stories of the Wicked Fairies of legend. Later when I got Cosmo and Wanda and told of the story of the Anti-Fairies I thought them to be the sources of legend that my grandma believed in.
"Mom, calm down he comes in peace this time," Poof said, "I know he's not our most favorite person but he said something big happened in Anti-Fairy world," he said turning to the Anti-Fairy. "I think you should hear him out," he said as Wanda lowered her wand as Cosmo finally appeared.
"Hey, why I wasn't invited to the party," he said as Anti-Cosmo rolled his eyes, "Hey AC, what are you doing here?" he asked blissfully ignorant to what is going on.
"That was just about what I was going to say," he said taking off his eyeware but before he could speak he began to shiver, "would some turn down the bloody thermostat I'm roasting I here," he said pulling at his collar as Wanda looked at him.
"That's weird you should only feel only a little warm," she said as I looked at her, "normally the more warm an Anti-Fairy feels the stronger the ecto….," she began to say as the door opened as the four magical being transformed and a voiced boomed.
"KEEP IT DOWN YOU BLOODY PRAT BEFORE I COME DOWN AND GIVE YOU A TASTE OF STEEL!" Uncle Tybalt shouted as he threw a bottle at me but luckily it missed, "Maybe that'll keep your mouth shut," he mumbled as he left and I gave a sigh of relief.
Mr. Lancer
"Hey dol, merry dol ring a dong dillo," I sang to myself as I finished grading papers and looked at the clock in apprehension. I had a conference with Tybalt Toyaka concerning his son and it was something I was not looking forward.
Much like his Shakespearean namesake, Tybalt is known to a violent man and not above attacking a person if he feels the need to. The last time I met with him he broke my nose and sprained my back just for suggesting his son needs a tutor.
If it were up to me I would call the cops to take them all away but I have no proof and Taroku refuses to speak up against that monster of a father.
While I was finishing up the grading I heard a knock on the door making me start up, "uh come in," I said trying not to seem scared as I got out my first aid kit.
"Hey Mr. L," a familiar voice said as I saw Taroku enter the room limping, "sorry I'm late, I had a bit of an accident," he said as he sat down and I looked at him strangely, "what's wrong, you look like you've seen a mononoke?" he asks me as I rub my eyes.
"I was just surprised to see you here as I expecting your…," I said clawing at my collar as he chuckled.
"I know what you mean, I…," he began to say as I held up a hand, "no need to apologize the sins of the father are not passed to the son," I told him, "I wanted to talk about not only you grades but your general health," I tell him as he begin to tremble, please dear Chaucer give me strength.
Anti-Binky
"Careful now, I want them unharmed for now," Dan said as he smiled at the purple staff he clutched in his hands. I could tell that it was powerful maybe even more powerful than the magic of a fairy baby and the ghost would not relinquish he prize. He turned his gaze towards the old ghost and smiled, "I know you're thinking of escaping," he sneered as he snapped his fingers causing Anti-Wandissimo to fly up to him.
"You called Herr Dan," he said saluting the specter who smiled with a malevolent grin on his face that caused the other specter in his custody to back away nervously.
"Yes, I wish the room was an ectoplasmic butterfly net," he snapped as the German Anti-Fairy waved his wand and the prison become a glowing butterfly net, "the butterfly net will keep your friends in line the same the ectoplasm will make you don't go anywhere," he laughed as I floated up to him.
"What about Anti-Cosmo, he's still out there, we need to get him before we can take over the universe," I snapped at him as he glared at me his red eyes burning with hatred but they soon melted into indifference.
"Don't worry, we have all the time in the world," he said smiling at his prize, "now we focus on part two of my plan," he told me as I looked at him curiously. The thought of the next part seemed to please to him immensely. "Have a portal opened to Earth specifically Amity Park, Illinois. I have unfinished business there," he said pointing the way out with his staff.
"What's in that town," I ask him curiously as he seethes at the question like it was a serious offense to mention that town or ask about it.
"A group of humans who can oppose me," he said handing me a picture, "now get your forces ready, I want to leave ASAP," he said as I proofed away to carry the ghost's orders.
Jazz
"Sometimes, I think the entire Toyaka Family Tree is rotted to the core," I said as I put some ice on Danielle's knee. The fall had sprained it badly. "Can I you get you anything?" I ask her as she shakes her head.
"Who do those jerks think they are anyway?" she asked shifting her weight in attempt to get comfortable. I gently helped trying to find a comfortable spot on the bed. I wish someone would teach them a lesson they think just because their ancestors funded the Renaissance and spawned two popes (There is even a rumor that they still control the Vatican) they can do whatever they want.
"Never mind Danielle, right now you need to focus on getting better," I tell her before I leave to go see how Danny is doing.
While I was walking a felt a chill up my spine causing me to look downstairs to see if a ghost had escaped but there was nothing, "I must just be cold," I said as I opened Danny's door and looked inside. He was sound asleep from the medicine mom had given him. He had tried to take the brunt of the fall to save Danni and though he was fine after the fall the pain had set and mom gave him some pain medicine.
I walked into the room and took pulled the covers gently over the sleeping boy but was stopped as someone knocked on the door. I quietly snuck and down the steps to see who the visitor.
"Hey Jazz, I heard someone ran over Danny," the voice of Valerie Gray said as I opened the door and let her in. "It looks a disaster area in here," she noticed the rug was bunched up and a little blood on the steps.
"The Toyakas did this, " I told her as she rolled her eyes, "Timmy's half brother came to get him and Danielle tried to stop him," I said as she cringed while we walked up the steps.
Anti-Cosmo
"Just who in the name of the ancient fairies was that?" I asked as I watched Wanda and Cosmo clean up the broken glass while I wiped my monocle clean. The brute had got some liquor on it making it impossible to see.
"That's Tybalt Mini's uncle," Wanda said annoyed, "he does this all the time, the drunken brute," she fumed as she went over to check on Timmy. The man was well named as he definitely takes his manners from the Prince of Cats and would just as easily draw a sword in blind hatred. "What are you doing here anyway?" Wanda asked me as I realized that I needed to finish my tale.
"There was co…argument over who should rule Anti-Fairy World and I was overthrown by Anti-Binky," I said taking a breath, "he was tempted the Pixies to overthrow me and sought the help of a malevolent ghost named Dan," I said as Poof gasped in horror.
"Dan?" Poof asked confused, "I've heard that name before, Danielle's cousin mutters it in his dreams, whoever he is he must be frightening and powerful?" he asked as I about to speak but Timothy started up and look at me. The child was asleep pretending to be drugged up to avoid having any more trouble but something roused him his sleep.
"Did this 'Dan' have pale skin and fangs?" he asked as I looked at him stunned, "I just had a nightmare about him," he said as the door creaked open and footsteps could be heard.
"Come on let's go," Wanda said as she transported to us the closet so we could hide. "Now you said that Anti-Binky ousted you?" she asked as Cosmo laughed no doubt confusing Anti-Binky with his diminutive counterpart. "Ahem!" Wanda said magically shutting her husband's mouth before turning to me.
"Yes, and no doubt he has something…,"I begin to say until I heard another voice.
"Come now dear, you need to purge your system of whatever poison those nasty Fentons injected into you," a female voice said outside. I turned my gaze and saw a woman standing over the boy holding a glass in her hands.
"The Fentons are nice, Mrs. Fenton treated my wounds and comforted me," he pleaded as the woman rolled her eyes.
"That's what s a descendant of mine thought about a rival cardinal until he was murdered in his sleep," she said as I raised an eyebrow, "They are a lot of nasty people out there who seem nice but it's only a ruse," she told him as he shook his head.
"She's giving him an emetic," Wanda's voice said sadly, "Fiona always makes him drink it whenever he comes home," she said as I directed my attention back to her, "Just what are you doing here anyway, we can't stand up against him," she said as I nodded.
"I know that, the reason I came here is that I need your help to find my family," I explained, "we got separated and I fear something unseemly happened to them," I said to her as she looked at me skeptically.
"Look, we'll discuss later, right now Mini needs our help," she said looking at the child who was now vomiting uncontrollably. I felt sorry for the lad and was about to say something when I heard a noise.
"COSMO! WANDA! FAIRY MEETING NOW!" the voice of Jorgen von Strangle said as he appeared as he grabbed the two fairies and disappear.
"Well that was impolite," I said as Poof glared at me, "What, even you agree with me; why else would you sneak out of school?" I asked as he grabbed me by my ascot.
"HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?" he snapped as I rolled my eyes and chuckled.
"Please, you're Cosmo's boy, it's in your genes," I said as he let me go, "besides the I noticed that Jorgen kept his eyes on you meaning you must of did something to incur is ire," I explained.
I noticed that Poof's eyes were darting between Timmy and the stairs. He wanted to go but didn't want to leave his parent's godchild alone. "Poof, if you have somewhere to go, I can watch the boy until your parents return," I said as he the wheels in his head turned.
"How can I trust you, the last thing I need is for something to happen to Mini," Poof asked me as I took out my wand and made a copy of Da Rules appear. "What are you doing trying to find a loophole to trick me," he said as I sighed.
"No," I said placing my right on the book, "I swear by not only this ancient and sacred book but the ancient spirits as well that my intentions are benign. I do not want to harm either the boy and will look after him to the best of my abilities," I said as Poof looked at me and sighed in defeat.
"Very well, if anything happens let me know," he said as he poofed away leaving to care for the boy.
Head Observant
"You can't do this!" I shouted pounding on the door of my temple trying to break down the door, "do you hear me Phantom you will pay for this sacrilege," I said as I heard someone laughing. I looked up and saw the fiend in question hover above us.
"Oh come now, it's not that bad, I've gotten rid of Clockwork for you," the monster said descending to the floor with the Time Staff clutched firmly in his hands. "You should be grateful that I am allowing you to continue to exist," he said walking around the Temple.
"What are you doing here anyway?" another brother asked him as Dan glared at us.
"I came to make sure that those Anti-Fairies did their job before I go take care of some loose ends on Earth," he said coldly as an Anti-Fairy appeared next to him. She was beautiful, young, and had short hair "What is it Anti-Momma Cosma?" he asked upset at this interruption.
"Anti-Binky wants to see you," she said as Dan rolled his eyes, "he said he has some information to help you get what you wanted," she said as Dan turned back to us before disappearing from sight.
"May the Ancient Ghosts help us all," I said sadly knowing whatever Dan was up to it wasn't good.
