Chapter 56 The Fourth Wielder
Using a nearby laptop on top of a wooden table, America plugs in a DVD player and everyone concerned comes near it.
"Alright, whatever happens in here, there is nothing to worry about. Besides, we could catch the culprits using this!" America said. He then plugs in the first DVD player and it clearly shows that the several unidentified ninjas shock the adult and the kids guarding the hanger using a tazer. Sector V takes action, but a very familiar yellow beam was shot and knocks them over on their backs unconscious. After that, a small gerbil and another kid holding a wand with an earthenware-colored brown star tip and a glassy crystalline handle.
"The Bloody… it's the other wielder!" Britain remarked. At that moment, a Leroy blocks the view and consumed the camera in its mouth.
"So, does anyone know who that is?" America immediately asks.
"The ninjas are the teenage ninjas working with Father…" #86 said. "The gerbil is the infamous Dr. Hamsterviel, the one the GKND is looking."
"Let's use the other DVD to identify them further." The general of the Air Base remarked. The other disk was played and the ninjas are seen rappelling down the hanger from a rope, together with the gerbil and the mysterious kid holding the final wand. The gerbil and the mystery kid brought out a device and scanned the F-22s from every side. On the press of a button on the device, another F-22 materializes, but without the magical star-shaped barrels. A familiar cube-like black figure appeared together with two men, one wearing what seemed to be ruler clothes similar to those worn in China and the other a much more modern coat. Both men are seen hiding in the shadows. The ninjas are putting explosives underneath the planes while the mystery kid looks up towards the camera, revealing his face on the dark environment. The face immediately shocks the Trio because the kid is none other than…
"Wait, how could it be him? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Timmy yelled.
"Isn't that Remy Buxaplenty who just transferred recently?" Tootie remarked.
"This is impossible! How could he act like that!" Trixie yelled. At that moment, a long rope was laid down and the two mystery adults threw some fire towards the rope and on the moment the fire reaches the explosives, everyone inside the hanger room, including the newly-formed jet, disappears.
"I KNEW IT!" #86 yelled "Trusting the equipment to adult males is a serious error!"
"Ehem, there's a female guard in there also." The Commanding Officer said.
"THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD LISTEN TO YOU ADULTS!"
"Wait, could we rewind the tape and focus on the corner where the other 2 unused star-like cannon barrels are?" Britain requested. Everything was done as requested and indeed, the barrels also disappeared. This really frustrated Britain and his fists becomes radiating in golden fire. Immediately, Norway throws a stone at him and said "Pacify your anger."
"WHO THE BLOODY &^&*^&^ THREW THAT STONE!" Norway points at France and France said "It's not me…" At that moment, the two begins to fight again.
"Norway, why did you do that?" Finland immediately asks.
"There are some things that are worth not to be shared to those who doesn't believe in magic…" Norway said.
"Alright, could anyone do a background check on this kid?" America asks the adults. Immediately, a military officer brings to him a record of the kid and America was surprised that Remy is a very promising fighter pilot due to his skills in the actual military simulators and is also a promising army soldier which frequently made the F.U.N. teachers which have troubles on deciding which military division he will gain a scholarship. Aside from that, he is the only kid who is recorded to live in a mansion, has ordered a personal F-5 Freedom Fighter jet and an ex-military M4A Sherman which he occasionally 'plays' together with his other schoolmates, and internet access and a computer.
"Actually, we can't waste a talent by not allowing his rich parents allowing some rule exceptions…" the officer said "…he excels in physical and mental conditioning as if he is bend on doing something for the country."
"Try doing that in Germany and your school will cease to exist." Germany remarked.
"But given that information…" Japan said "…we could easily conclude that he is highly-skilled and a natural born military man, something that could match our trump card."
"Of course, the hero could prevent him if he rides the useless Leroy jets!" America yelled.
"Actually, that's not the issue there…" Trixie said "I fought him one-on-one using my best plane. However, he managed to use his Mig-3, something I always regard as easy kill, so brilliantly that I was immediately shot down, a skill that only the top 100 pilots have."
"Speaking of that, he manages to shot down Britain and Germany by surprise in our game, remember?" Tootie continued.
"However…" Timmy said "…his eyes are not unlike the Remy I know… I mean, there is so much gloom in it."
"He's the kid that went missing and we already thought he's a classical seal victim…" #86 said.
"Classical seal victim?" a soldier remarked.
"YOU GUYS WON'T EASILY GET WHAT I MEAN!" # 86 yelled "SPEAKING OF THAT, HIS EYES ARE THE SIGN OF DELIGHTFULIZATION!"
"What's that?" Timmy remarked.
"A process of brainwashing a kid…" #1 comes in. He now fully recovered from his condition earlier "… it was once used to the mighty Sector Z but when Father defeated them, they are turned to the Delightful Children. However, his eyes don't show the signs of forced delightfulization."
"Wait, BRITAIN!" Timmy yelled. Immediately, Britain stopped and said "WHAT NOW! I'M STILL…"
"Could you please call Juandissimo for me?"
"He's imprisoned in a makeshift jail for his violation of the rules…"
"Only a little while!" At that moment, Juandissimo appeared in chains and looks like some muscular man suffering in dungeon with the muscles still intact. Only the kids, Britain, Norway and Romania are able to see him.
"Excuse us…" The three went outside of the crowd and went towards a corner of the burnt hanger with Juandissimo. Cosmo, Wanda and Poof appeared as well.
"Timmy, I heard the news that the base you are training got attacked. Are you ok?"
"I'm fine Wanda…" Timmy said. Juandissimo goes to Wanda and pleads "Please, my darling señorita ,save me in my affliction!" Cosmo went in and said "She is my wife! Step away!"
"POOF POOF!" Poof angrily replied.
"Cosmo, remember when I hired you as my defense attorney for the crime I committed? Please, help me!" Juandissimo reacted.
"Alright, could anyone explain what's happening?" Timmy yelled.
"Yes. Besides, there has to be a reason why Remy was showing no signs of this so-called 'forced delightfulization'" Trixie said.
"Alright, this is actually what happened…" Juandissimo said.
Few 'months (remember the Secret Wish incident?)' earlier…
Juandissimo became Remy's godchild once again when Remy found out a provision that he could use a non-fairy attorney for his defense plea as Juandissimo suggested. He immediately won the case, but the prosecutor came to Remy and asks about something…
"Do you want to have revenge to the one who created this scandal?" the prosecutor (Foop) asks.
"Of course."
"Remy, you just can't…"
"Well, it's better if you find it a way for the anti-fairies to attack than to exact revenge in accordance to the rules right?" Foop immediately countered Juandissimo's reaction. During the next years, Foop allowed Remy to go to a certain dimension without Juandissimo and when Juandissimo heard the name of the grandmaster of a certain group, he pleaded that what he is doing is wrong. However, the grandmaster gave him several gifts that excelled him in several things, in exchanged of loyalty to him and him alone, something that Remy would immediately appreciate. Remy excelled in all aspects in his life in the F.U.N academy. However, Juandissimo noticed that Remy is no longer becoming the Remy he was used to take care of. He became a different Remy, thinking more on revenge rather than living a peaceful and contented life. That continued until the day the grandmaster presented to him a wand which is actually the missing 4th wand. Juandissimo tried to say to him that revenge is not a very good resort but Remy is so much darkened to give revenge on Timmy that it inspired him to excel. At first, the wand tries to change Remy's mind but Remy overcomes it. However, he grew tired on battling the wand's conscience and on Juandissimo's plea to not join the grandmaster. Soon, he was 'kidnapped' by Foop and a mysterious alien. Juandissimo tried to protect him but he can't bear the torture of English food. Right after that incident, Juandissiom keeps this event silent in the hopes that Remy would return, until the time Fairy World was bombed, where he finally spoke up to the Fairy Council.
"And that's the reason why I'm suffering!" Juandissimo yelled
"But what made Remy that bitter to Timmy?" Trixie asks.
"Yeah…" Tootie continued.
"Actually…" a voice said from above them "…it's the matter of the heart." Everyone looks up and saw Buck with his pterosaur beside him.
"BUCK, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS APPEAR AT THE LEAST EXPECTED TIME!" Timmy yelled at him. The weasel goes down while tumbling and goes in a dramatic position with his knife on one hand.
"Because I'm a weasel, and the weasel pops anytime it pleases…" Buck said. "Anyways…" he stood up and continued "…according to the information I got, Remy is bitter on the whole world and he wants to change his destiny. However, the fact that he is a wielder now says that he is now following a different path, a path not to be taken by a wielder at all…"
"What do you mean by that?" All of them responded. Buck etched two lines with the bottom one having a crude drawing of skull and bones.
"There are two sets of plans, the best one and the worse one…" Buck explained "The one with the crossbones are the worse one, while the one without it are the best one, the original plan. However…" Buck draws some lines connecting the two paths "…we have a gift known as free will, and that means we could travel at a time in the best plan and on other times the worse plan."
"However, what happens if we choose to travel the best plan?" Trixie immediately asks the weasel.
"Despite the fact that the best plan is a very difficult path, this will safely lead you to your destination."
"What about the worse plan?" Tootie followed.
"That would, as the crossbones say, leads to death." Buck replied. "However, there are many opportunities where you could choose to go away from this path. Currently, your friend is traveling in this path, but like what happened to you, he could go on to the right one. However, there's a catch…"
"What's the catch?" Timmy asks the weasel.
"You can't change his decision."
"That's plane obvious…" Trixie said.
"However…" the weasel said "…that does not mean that the wands are automatically following the same path as its wielder. It is like a compass, which leads you to the correct way. But even a compass user get lost if he don't use it properly, or simply ignored it."
"But that doesn't answer the reason why Remy joined them! I mean, with me as his godparent, I could use my magic to guide him!" Juandissimo protested.
"However, you made a mistake remember?" Buck said. "Anyways, back to the topic, the 3 trials should also affect him like what happened to you three. But, there is only one assumption for that to happen; he must be willing to share his life to the three of you."
"And since he hated Timmy, he is not willing to see his good side correct?" Trixie said.
"Correct. To elaborate this further, I have to describe the fourth wand's power." The weasel draws another doodle on the ground and this time, it has four wands with a wand encircled right below the first one.
"The Fourth wand's power is to be the energy storage of the other three wands, in case one of them got destroyed." Bick explained. "In other words, it has the ability of all three wands combined. For example, if one of the three original wands is destroyed, the 4th wand splits into two and one part becomes the destroyed wand and the other becomes the original wand. It was purposely made as a backup. However, if used together with the other wands, the power of all four of them is so overwhelming that even an entire formation of flying aircraft are shot down. Let's just remember that the wands normally can't kill anyone and usually, its victims are just seen already bailing out in parachutes, sometimes with a changed heart."
"Alright…" Timmy said.
"But I thought the wands are dependent on each other?" Trixie asks the weasel.
"That's my same question. Based in what I know, the 4th wand is also dependent on the others. However, if the heart of the wielder is darkened enough, the wand will no longer depend on the other wands but on the user's power. In this manner, the user can now kill anyone the wand he has. Sadly, there's a very big consequence for that to the user, and this also happened to the other past weilders throughout history…"
"What's the consequence?" Tootie asks.
"The wand would grow weaker until the point that the only power it releases is the one the user could generate. The user would normally thought that he or she would became powerful since at that point, the power he thinks the wand is releasing is more powerful than before. Unknown to him, it was already his own power, his own strength, his own darkness, that the wand is generating. The user would abuse this power until he dies and, worse, simply vanishes. Whenever that happens, the wand must be taken to be repurified to its original state." Buck said "That is what I heard."
"Actually…" Britain said while coming near them "… that happened twice. During the Roman invasion of Germania, the one who wields Timmy's wand got so angry that he killed even innocent children and women, including his very own people, and the other wielders, to avenge the loss of his beloved darling, using his wand as a sword. Right after that, he realized that he grew much more powerful. He went on rampaging until one day, he simply vanished. The second time is during World War I, when the one wielding what now is Tootie's wand lost his mother and father, also wand weilders, and turned his wand into a rifle. He knows that it would not kill them, but he loaded it with some bullets and as expected, they are killed as well. His heart that is once pure is now darkened with hatred and he died in overusing his wand in warfare in what seems like a heart attack."
"And Remy keeps on doing that, he might die as well?" Trixie asks Britain.
"Unfortunately, yes…" Britain said. "This are the times I wished that I know him before the OTLI did."
"AYE CORUMBA!" Juandissimo yelled "I should've said it immediately then!"
"And that's the reason why you are imprisoned…" Briatian said "…half a century is enough."
"But there has a bail remember! Forgive me please!" Juandissimo once again pleaded.
"Wait, I do have an idea!" Timmy said "What is the bail for that Juandissimo?"
"Alright, talk to him when the time comes…" Britain said "…what is important now on what we are supposed to do…"
Meanwhile…
"Great, the enemy has acquired intelligence thru that plane…" Germany remarked "…now the F-22 can no longer be our bet!"
"However, what is important now is the capability of the fourth wielder-aru." China said "Remember that before leaving the meeting, Britain remarked that the kid is the greatest threat to the Wand Trio."
"Since when did we call them that?" America remarked.
"Anyways, I just want to ask something…" Italy said "…why can't we just surrender?"
"That is something unacceptable!" Switzerland protested "I've already chartered a flight here and join the Northern Flank. Besides, this is one of the few events that I will force my neutrality up just to survive."
"Let me get this straight-aru." China said "Aside from America, India, Russia, me and Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Israel, Brazil, Spain and Thailand are willing to donate several aircraft for the defense purposes correct?"
"Da!" Russia said "I'm still negotiating with my former friends regarding airframe donations, right Latvia?"
"Ye-yes sir." Latvia commented.
"Well, are you sure our plan is correct?" Germany said "I'm saying this because it is so much plain obvious that hiding inside the cloud of the Darkness at approximately 9,000m is not a good plan."
"Of course it is." Estonia said "Calculating from the size of the Darkness, who is as big as the whole planet, we will circle our planes on that altitude. On the moment our drones at 20,000 meters were covered by the dark cloud band, we will form the defensive circle and let our AWACS detect the stealth using our innovative anti-stealth technology."
"KND has learned a lot to counter our technologies…" Latvia continued.
"Of course, we are expecting heavy fighting right before that…" Estonia said "… the Leroys will pave the way by attacking ground installations. The SAMs and AAAs will be the one in charge of that."
"That will be my job, with China as my sidekick!" America yelled.
"Sure…" China said grinningly. In China's mind, he said "…and thanks for paying me for doing that."
"The main problem we have will be the world economy after that…" Japan remarked. "…after the war, we will mind that later in due time."
Buck has just left Britain, Trixie, Timmy, Tootie, and the fairies thru his pterosaurs and perched the flying beast on a tree far away from them. Upon seeing him, the two opossums went towards him, somewhat asking what he heard.
"Buck, what did they say?" Crash immediately asks the weasel.
"I don't know lads…" he replied "…there is something terribly wrong in here…"
"What do you mean?" Eddie continued "The countries are good at planning, correct?"
"Yes, but not the same as that of Aslan…" Buck said "…he knows everything on how to defeat the OTLI's plan. The only problem, however, is the people involved in this war. In fact, originally, the fourth wielder should be an ally, but several mistakes made by Timmy gave Remy a different path. What I can't understand is what is Aslan meant by saying that Remy will join the PODMD in the right time."
"But what about the Darkness?" Eddie followed.
"Aslan is now determined to punish him, his time is now up…" Buck said "…his bail is already made, but did not accept it. Aslan also loves him, but his unrepented heart leads him to the punishment that Aslan is going to inflict. This battle will be his last chance of repenting. If he didn't accept it, then Aslan himself will bring something that he really deserved."
