The city of Paris was alive with its enchanting charm, and the soft glow of streetlights illuminated the streets as Hacker and Ms. Power took their seats in a nearby bristo. The Eiffel Tower stood tall against the darkening sky, adorned with thousands of shimmering lights that sparkled like stars. The warm breeze carried the faint scent of blooming flowers from nearby gardens, adding to the enchanting ambiance of the evening.
As they settled into their seats, a quaint table covered in a crisp, white tablecloth adorned with a flickering candle at its center. Nearby, a band of talented street musicians played a soulful melody on their acoustic instruments, adding to the romantic atmosphere.
As a waiter approached their table, he presented a menu exquisitely displaying the finest French cuisine. Once they had made their selections, a warm smile graced his face as he nodded, before heading inside to promptly inform the chef of their choices.
After the attentive waiter left their table, the two companions leaned in; their faces lit up with excitement and joy as they engaged in conversation, their laughter filling the air, and their eyes sparkled with shared amusement.
All Wicked could do was look on in envy as she carefully watched them from behind a secluded alleyway. Her heart twisted with bitterness at the sight of their affectionate gestures, unable to bear witnessing their happiness together.
As she clenched her fists, trying to push back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes, Ledge appeared from seemingly nowhere, his eyes fixated on Wicked, before turning his attention over to the two.
"Feeling a bit jealous, Wicky?" A mischievous gleam danced in Ledge's eyes as he playfully teased her.
"Oh, cut it out, Ledge!" Wicked snapped, her voice laced with annoyance, not particularly being in the mood for his lighthearted antics.
Her attention shifted back to the table, where Hacker and Ms. Power engaged in heartfelt conversation. "Who does she think she is?" Wicked muttered under her breath, the frustration evident in her tone, and she made no attempt to conceal her words from Ledge, who was standing nearby.
Ledge furrowed his brows, genuinely curious. "I thought you didn't really like Hacker that much?"
"I do, but that doesn't give her the right to swoop in and take him from me!" Wicked admitted; her frustration and insecurity laid bare.
Ledge's attempt to say something else was quickly thwarted as Wicked shot him a sharp glare. Undeterred, she redirected her focus back to the table, her anger driving her to march furiously toward them.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Wicked's voice dripped with sarcasm as she approached the table. "Seems like you two are having a swell evening!"
"Wicked? What are you doing here?" Hacker asked, his voice a mixture of surprise and confusion.
"I could ask you the same thing: what are YOU doing with HER?" Wicked retorted.
Ms. Power scoffed, unimpressed by Wicked's words. "Psst, darling. Your petty jealousy is showing!" She taunted, mockingly whispering.
Wicked glared at her as she turned her attention to her. "So, you think you're all that, huh? Stealing Hacker's attention away from me? You're nothing but a nuisance!" She snarled, her voice dripping with bitterness.
As tensions continued escalating further, Ledge made a move to intervene but quickly found himself silenced and was promptly pushed to the side. Ms. Power then couldn't resist making a snarky remark about Wicked's jealousy, further fueling the fire. "Oh, poor little Wicky can't handle the competition, can she?" she taunted, her words like daggers.
Infuriated by the provocation, Wicked retaliated, "You think you're so special, but you're just a wannabe with flashy powers! Hacker deserves someone real, not a show-off like you!"
Ms. Power scoffed, seemingly unfazed by Wicked's remark. "Please, am I supposed to feel intimidated by someone in a silly Halloween costume?" She retaliated. "Why don't you hop on your broom and fly away, Witchy?"
This only fueled Wicked's fury, which Ms. Power quickly noticed, and she decided to push even harder. Tensions continued to rise even further, and it didn't take long for things to get ugly.
Finally reaching her breaking point, Wicked retrieved her magic wand and unleashed a powerful blast, directing it towards Ms. Power. Reacting swiftly, Ms. Power took flight, narrowly evading the attack, causing the blast to strike the table instead, shattering it into pieces. Hacker, sensing the imminent danger, swiftly dove away from the table to safety.
As the dust settled, Ms. Power emerged, her face contorted with fury. Swiftly, she took flight, hurtling towards Wicked with a vengeance. In response, Wicked leaped onto her broom and took off, engaging in a high-speed aerial chase. She fired beams of magic towards Ms. Power, who relentlessly pursued her through the night sky, dodging each of her attacks.
Hacker remained concealed behind a knocked-over table, torn between his feelings for the two parties. Despite Ledge's attempts to call out, they went unnoticed as the relentless aerial battle caused unintentional destruction to the surrounding area with missed projectiles.
It was at this moment that Herobrine, Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow appeared, holding a bright yellow crystal. Cozy Glow's voice was filled with a touch of mischievous glee as she spoke. "Well, Hacker, you'll be pleased to know that…"
Her excitement abruptly faltered as her eyes fixated on an unexpected spectacle. High above, amidst the chaotic backdrop, Wicked and Ms. Power engaged in a heated aerial duel, their abilities colliding in a dazzling display of energy.
With a commanding gesture, Herobrine raised his clenched fist, summoning an eerie dark energy that crackled with malevolence. Swiftly, he unleashed the attack, the sinister projectile homing in on its targets with unerring precision. Wicked and Ms. Power found themselves ensnared by the malevolent force, their powers momentarily subdued as they were suspended in a state of temporal stasis.
"Impressive!" Chrysalis purred as she and the others watched on, nodding their approval.
Herobrine's wicked grin revealed a glimpse of his satisfaction. With a swift motion of his hand, he directed the frozen combatants towards the ground, then released them, allowing gravity to take its course. The enemies plummeted, hitting the ground with great force.
Ms. Power's voice seethed with anger as she struggled to regain her footing. "Ugh! What's the big idea?" She demanded, shooting a scowl at Herobrine.
"And was that really necessary?" Wicked groaned, her frustration evident.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself!" Herobrine replied nonchalantly.
Their anger towards them quickly subsided as the two turned their attention to the glowing crystal looming in their grasps. "How did you..." Ms. Power let out a quiet, astonished gasp.
"We had a little run-in with The Cybersquad, but we've quickly dealt with that predicament." Tirek boastfully explained, his voice beaming with satisfaction.
"Yep, we've trapped them in the Nether, with no way to escape!" Cozy Glow chimed in with a wicked grin, the delight in her voice evident.
"Splendid!" Hacker exclaimed as he pulled out the Journal from his cape, flipping through the pages until he found the relevant information.
"What does it say?" Cozy Glow asked with child-like excitement.
As Hacker carefully pored over the aged pages of the journal, his eyes widened with excitement as he came across an entirely new entry. "According to this, 'Once The Three Crystals are united, the fourth will unveil its location," He recited, his voice tinged with a mixture of wonder and determination.
"So, if I understand correctly, we need to combine The Three Crystals?" Ledge asked, ensuring he grasped the significance of the journal's instructions.
"I suppose that's what the journal is implying." Chrysalis replied, a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
"Come on then, let's not waste a second!" Hacker ordered urgently. Herobrine promptly tapped into his formidable powers, transporting The Three Crystals to their present location. Without hesitation, they placed the crystals on one of the tables that was fortunate enough to have not been destroyed.
With bated breath, they arranged the crystals in a precise formation, ensuring each one made contact with the other. For an agonizing moment, there was only silence and anticipation. Then, in a breathtaking display, the crystals began to emit an ethereal glow, pulsating with a newfound energy. Their movements seemed almost alive as they swayed and bobbed on the table, resonating in perfect harmony. Before they could fully react, a blinding light erupted from the crystals, enveloping the entire group.
As the blinding flash finally subsided, Hacker and the group discovered themselves amidst a mysterious forest. The surroundings were shrouded in darkness, making it difficult to discern the details. The sky above seemed to be enveloped in an eternal night, devoid of stars or any visible celestial bodies. The trees that surrounded them appeared withered and lifeless, their skeletal branches bereft of a single leaf. Some trees had lanterns hung on their old crooked branches that gave off an eerie bluish glow, which illuminated an ancient dirt path in front of them, weathered by the passage of time.
"W-where are we? I don't like this." Cozy Glow's voice trembled with nervousness as she clung closer to the group.
"This doesn't resemble any place I know." Tirek replied, his deep voice resonated with a hint of suspicion.
"Is it me, or does anyone else feel like something's off about this forest?" Wicked asked.
"Indeed, it's as if life itself has been drained from this place." Chrysalis commented with a touch of melancholy.
"So, now what?" Ms. Power paused, her voice filled with uncertainty. "Should we follow the path or...?"
"Supposed we should, this path might lead us to The Fourth Crystal!" Hacker announced.
Chrysalis narrowed her eyes, suspicion evident in her gaze. "And what makes you so sure of that?" She asked.
"Well, If the crystals brought us here, and the journal's instructions indicated that the fourth one would reveal itself once we combined the other three, It must be nearby." Ledge explained.
"Precisely! If the crystal led us here, then we're on the right track." Hacker, fueled by determination, chimed in. "Now come on, let's not waste anymore time!" With their resolve fortified, the group took their first steps along the ancient path, venturing deeper into the mysterious forest.
After carefully following the path, the group finally arrived at an awe-inspiring sight: a magnificent golden pedestal cradling the fourth and final crystal. It shimmered with an ethereal purplish glow, seemingly eager to fulfill its destiny. Carefully removing the glass case that enshrined the crystal, Hacker gently held it in his hands, its radiance coursing through his veins.
As the crystal found its rightful place with its counterparts, they all watched in awe as all four crystals, as well as the amulet described in the journal, levitated into the air above Hacker, spinning in a harmonious dance of ancient power. With a resounding pulse of energy, they converged over him, engulfing him in a brilliant flash of light that knocked the others back, leaving them momentarily stunned but unharmed.
As the brilliant light gradually subsided, the group's attention fixed on a completely changed Hacker. His stature had grown taller and more imposing, while his previously short wig was now actual hair that cascaded down his back in untamed waves. His eyes widened in amazement as he marveled at the astonishing transformation he had undergone.
Meanwhile, In a mesmerizing display of magic, the amulet underwent a wondrous transformation, fusing seamlessly with the four crystals to become a magnificent scepter. From its core emanated an aura of unfathomable power, casting an ethereal glow that bathed the surroundings in a mystical light. At the center of the scepter rested a large, resplendent crystal known as The EverCrystal, as described in the journal.
With unbridled exhilaration, Hacker erupted into wicked laughter, his triumphant voice echoing through the forest. "NOW THAT I'VE GOT THE EVERCRYSTAL IN MY HANDS, NO ONE, NOT EVEN THOSE EARTH BRATS, CAN STOP ME!"
