Tom: *comes onto the bridge* Well, things are getting interesting with our story to say the least but what will Timmy discover in the horrible future of Dimmsdale? *presses a few touch screen buttons*
Sara: Time to find out.

Timmy finally stopped running and saw the town he once called home. True to Luigi's word, the town was in ruins. The houses were destroyed, fires combed the streets, the dirt and grime were on the once sparkling clean roads and sidewalks, and there was the smell of ash in the air. Timmy was in tears as he saw that his house was in the same condition as the rest of the town. It was a ghost town...mostly. There was an old woman standing next to him, as Timmy cried into the sidewalk, his tears washing away the dirt and grime.
The old woman commented, "Dear me, a young person that managed to avoid the Eliminators is quite a rare sight."
Timmy looked up at the old woman. She had long gray hair, a dirty magneta headband in her hair, tired blue eyes, wearing a long and torn purple dress and white shoes. She was holding a cane in her hand and looked to be about 60.
The pink hated boy sniffled as he stated, "I didn't avoid them... I was in the Darkness... I'm the Chosen One..."
The old woman started to reply, "The Chosen One? Well, dear me...then you must be..."
Timmy pleaded, "Don't say my name or they'll get you too."
The old woman responded, "Oh my dear, they've gotten me years ago."
Timmy questioned, "Then how are you still alive?"
The old woman answered, "Turns out I have some Anodite blood in me. I can use my manna to keep me alive."
Timmy asked, "Anodite blood? Are you related to Ben or Gwen Tennyson in anyway?"
The old woman shook her head as she explained, "No. My gradfather was a Plumber as was my grandmother. She was the Anodite and it wounded up being passed onto me. In human years, I'm 61 years old. But in alien years...who knows..."
Timmy questioned, "61 years old? Then that would mean you were 11 at the time of the Darkness incident... How did you managed to stay undetected for 50 years?"
The old woman answered, "Anodites are able to make their own disguise once they have mastered their powers. I have not yet, since it takes 75 years in human time. But I managed to stay hidden thanks to the Kids Network Studios crew."
Timmy stated, "They seem rather important."
The old woman replied, "They are and once this is all over with, their purpose can be pure once again."
Timmy smiled at her and responded, "You know...whenever I'm talking to you...I feel light hearted. Like I'm attracted to you...which is weirding me out."
The old woman started to explain, "That is because I'm..."
Suddenly Luigi got to them, panting.
He panted, "Damn it, Chosen One. You sure are fast!" He saw the old woman and added, finally catching his breath, "Oh hey Trixie!"
Timmy's eyes went wide as the old woman merely smiled at him, turning into the 11 year old version of Trixie Tang.
"Trixie," Timmy breathed, surprised.
"Hello, Chosen One," Trixie greeted, smiling at him.
"She's still alive," Timmy asked Luigi, very much in shock.
"Yes, as a secret operative of Kids Network Studios and the last Plumber to be on Earth," Luigi answered.
"The other Plumbers are in the galaxies, trying to stop the Eliminators from coming down onto Earth and stopping our plan," Trixie added. She turned to Luigi and asked, "Shall we get back to base?"
Luigi answered, "I think that would be wise."
"Not so fast."
Timmy, Trixie, and Luigi spun around and saw an Eliminator standing there.
The pink hatted boy breathed, "How'd they find me?"
Trixie looked on Timmy and stated, "Because you have a tracker!"
As she destroyed the tracker, Luigi turned into Mr. L instantly. Timmy was even more surprised.
"Luigi can control Mr. L," Timmy blurted out.
"I prefer do things on my own gone-for-fifty-years," Mr. L hissed, as he turned to Trixie. He added, "Let's get to work, purple-glowing-body."
Trixie nodded as she turned into her Anodite form, surprising Timmy further. The two quickly started to battle the Eliminator, careful on not using any of their own powers. Eventually, the Eliminator had fallen as Trixie went back to her 11 year old form.
She pointed out, "No doubt reinforcements will be coming."
Mr. L stated, "So much for Mister-I-am-the-wielder-of-the-Omnitrix helping us."
Timmy questioned, "Okay, seriously. How can you trust Mr. L, Trixie? He's evil! And I thought he was programmed to kill Mario!"
Mr. L rolled his eyes and answered, "Not the time for stupid questions returned-Chosen-One-that-doesn't-have-a-clue. Let's just get back before bad-versions-of-Brobot come back."
Trixie replied, "Sounds good to me."
With that, Mr. L and Trixie started to head back to the studios as a very confused Timmy followed them.
-Flashback: 'Pure Hearts Be True'-
After meeting Squirps, our heroes were exploring the simple place known as the Whoa Zone. Eventually, the four heroes caught up to Squirps, who was in an empty room. Squirps looked at them and squawked.
He commented, "SLOWPOKES! SQUAKLES! Squirps was tired of waiting! Squirps almost gave up! That Pure Heart that you are looking for is just up ahead, space grunts!"
Our heroes were about to go up ahead but a voice captured their attention.
"Squirps. You've done well. You're a smart kid."
Squirps blushed and responded, "Squirple squee! Stop it! Squirps is embarrassed!" That's when he realized something, none of the group was talking and asked, "Wait...whose voice was that, squoh?"
In an instant, a flash of black knocked Squirps away from the group. He was kneeling down in front of them and then got up. Tippi, Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Violet all studied him. He had on a black ninja outfit on with yellow buttons on it, he had an orange belt, a green scarf, a black mask around his eyes - making them an undeniable silver color, and a black cap on top of his messy brown hair. The black cap was strangely like Luigi's except the L was the other way.
Violet couldn't explain it but she felt a connection to this guy. The masked man got up, cackling evilly as he kicked Squirps away from them. Squirps was beyond dazed.
Tippi asked the masked man, "Wh-who are you?"
He answered, striking a pose, "Oh, me? Just one of Count Bleck's more promising minions. The Green Thunder...Mr. L!"
Peach breathed, "Mr. L?"
Mario stated, "I don't know who you are but if you are aligned with Count Bleck, you are no friend of ours."
Bowser got in front of the three heroes - but more specifically Mario - and stood in front of Mr. L.
The Koopa King told Mario, "Leave the quips to me. This guy looks like chump change anyhow!"
Mr. L responded, "I'm supposed to be afraid of a koopa-that-has-a-weight-problem? Please, you get foiled all the time by sir-jumps-a-lot every time you try to capture can't-defend-myself-mushroom-princess. However..." When he said that, he jumped over Bowser and landed right next to Violet. Violet was a bit freaked out a first, getting ready to fight. He added, "You are different. I can feel the coldness of your body yet the warmness of your heart. What's a body-cold-as-ice like yours doing with such losers?"
Violet scolded, "For your information, these are my friends. And you buster are going down."
Mr. L replied, "We shall see about that. Why? Because I'm about to give you a burial at sea... I mean, a burial in space."
