Jimmy returned to the lab, looking closely at the paper Zepherous had given him.
"Alright, gang," Danny said, "We should probably prepare for the villains' next move."
Jimmy carefully set the page aside and began working on his computer.
"But we don't know what they're planning," Timmy noted, "For all we know, Dimmsdale could be next!"
"About that," Jimmy said, "I have some bad news, Timmy."
The screen displayed the colorless pirate ship floating near Dimmsdale.
"We can't let them get the drop on us again," Spongebob said, "Let's go and defend Dimmsdale!"
"Yeah," Timmy agreed.
The four heroes came to the city's edge near Mt Dimmsdale and started their previous setup around Dimmsdale. This time, an army of Anti-fairies was attempting to break the shield. The power was draining fast.
Jimmy asked, "Why is it draining so fast now?"
"Well," Spongebob explained, "Aquarius gave your invention some of his power before."
"But we're not in the ocean anymore," Jimmy said as the realization dawned on him, "The shield could come undone any minute!"
"Looks like we need to turn up the heat," Danny quipped, and he drew Vulcana's symbol on a Post-it note.
"Tear a hole into the fabric," Jimmy recited from memory, "Break the seal and free the magic. Break the chains and undo the unbearable pain. Crush the mask to finish this task. Unravel the strands that make the fabric, burst the seal, and grow the magic."
Suddenly, the paper the symbol was drawn on was set alight by an unknown source. Danny was confused, but then the flame was eating up the note quickly, and Danny promptly set it down. It burned away the page, but the embers remained, and they borrowed deep underground. The ground shook beneath their feet, and the ice-capped Mt. Dimmsdale quickly melted away as molten magma flowed from its peak. Although strangely, the lava stopped midway down. From the newly awakened volcano, it blossomed a giant red lotus that was quickly set alight.
The deity seemed to be able to gather pretty quickly what was happening. Jimmy's shield quickly recovered its power, and then some as the flames gently licked the protection.
"That must be Vulcana," Timmy said, "Woah, she's so cool!"
"I think you mean hot," Danny corrected.
"That wasn't as clever as you think it was," Vulcana snarled, annoyed, "I hope you boys have a plan for when that machine is fired again. "
"Don't worry," Spongebob reassured, "We have it all set up."
Natalie looked to see the giant Element Immortal Holding up the shield and gasped.
"Those four found a way to harness the power of Vulcana," Natalie Growled, "I'll make them *Dolfin laughed* pay for this!"
"Firing the cannon on the count of three," Evil Jimmy said.
Dark Danny touched it, Anti-cosmo inserted his wand, and Black and White Willie put his arm in again.
"Three," Evil Jimmy counted, 'Two..."
"Wait," Anti-Cosmo said. Then he pulled a radio out
"Dispurse quickly," He told the other anti-fairies through the radio. The army quickly vanished. He put away his radio.
"Continue," Anti-Cosmo said to Evil Jimmy, who was pretty annoyed.
Evil Jimmy shouted, "One!"
A blast of darkness burst from the cannon. Vulcana's light managed to keep the shot at bay for a few minutes before she felt her fire grow too hot and her lava flow too low. She calmed down a bit which was the opening the antagonists needed, and the shield was more forcefully sliced through. Luckily, the door caught the blast and absorbed the power like last time. The cannon quickly shut off, and the Villains fled out of sight.
Vulcana sighed as her lava and flame shrunk.
"I hate those bullies so much," She quietly grumbled, "But if I get too heated, I might destroy things not meant to be destroyed."
"It's okay, Vulcana," Spongebob said sympathetically as he cautiously came closer, "You tried your best, and that's what counts."
Vulcana's nearly unbearable heat eased into warmth as if the thought pleased her.
"I can see why my brother chose you," She said with a gurgle in her lava, "He always found a way to ease me even when I was at full Plasma."
Jimmy, intrigued, approached and asked, "Plasma?"
"Oh yeah," Vulcana explained, "I have three states of anger that can fuel me—Firey, which you saw today. Magma is when I harness the full power of lava to fight. And Plasma, When I get so aggravated, I have to harness the power of stars to fight."
"That's awesome," Timmy said, then asked, "So where are you going to go now?"
"A little place called Nunya," Vulcana said.
Danny sighed, "Let me guess, Nunya Beeswax?"
Vulcana pointed to Danny with one of her petals and said, "Now that is clever!"
Then, slowly the lava retracted back into the volcano.
"See you nerds later," Vulcana said as she sank, restoring the mountain.
"Well, that was quick," Spongebob noted, "A little too quick."
"Back to the lab," Jimmy said. The four of them followed Jimmy away from the scene.
Jimmy began working on his computer again, searching, and stumbled across something odd.
"If I'm reading these readings right," Jimmy said, "EVIL is headed for the Fairy World simulation!"
Timmy was shocked, "WHAT?!"
"There has to be a different way to defend against that weapon," Spongebob said, "Creating a portal to Fairy world could spell disaster for Dimmsdale."
"Yeah, Jimmy," Timmy said, "I don't want my world to fall into chaos I can't fix!"
"That would be bad," Danny said.
"Everyone calm down," Jimmy said, "I already have a plan that instead of absorbing the power from the blast, we could redirect it to that power source in the simulation."
"I'm not sure Jorgan would be on board with that idea," Timmy said sheepishly, "He's pretty protective of that, *ahem* power source."
Spongebob asked, "Why don't we just ask him and find out?"
"I think that's a fantastic idea," Jorgan said after the team explained everything that had transpired to him and the plan Jimmy came up with.
Timmy asked, "Really?"
"Yeah," Jorgan said, "That way, us fairies will be so much stronger!"
"Well, in that case," Jimmy said, "Let's set it up!"
The team set up the shield as before, but Jimmy's absorption device was connected to the wand tower this time to channel whatever energy it absorbed into it.
"Wait," Jorgan asked, "What if this thing drains the wand instead of empowering it?"
"Don't worry," Spongebob said, "We have a friend who will help power Jimmy's incredible invention!"
Timmy was the one to carefully draw Arborous's symbol onto a note and recite the spell. At first, it seemed like nothing happened. TImmy set it down regardless. As the villains approached, the paper came undone, almost as if it was being deconstructed bit by bit. It seemed to separate the wood pulp from all the other chemicals, and the wood pulp quickly took root and reformed itself into a sapling. Which promptly grew wide and tall. Towering over even the most significant buildings in Fairyworld as its leaves and limbs grew. Within five minutes, technical-like vines sprouted from its truck as the top held the shield aloft. The vines quickly wrapped themselves on the shield's edge, creating a flowering barrier.
The being cheerfully chirped, "Ta-Da!"
"It's wonderful, Aborous," Spongebob complimented.
"Why thank you," Aborous said, "It's not often the true power of plants is appreciated."
