Wonderlust

"Where's Daah?" Sajin asks. "With me. Come if you dare!" Kaante crackles. "We need to find the others, quick," Ash said as the group split. Kaante looks at Daah, who is sitting on a throne. Sangharsh looks at her. "The group better come soon. Kaante cannot win. Even if it means I have to go back to peace." "I will win! No matter the pain!" Kaante crackles on. The group splits up to find their friends. Alexis is raving over her scholarship with Jared. "I knew you could do it," Jared exclaims. "Thank you," Alexis said. "I was nervous." Jared takes her hands. "Don't be. You are an amazing football player." Alexis blushes and kisses Jared. Ulrich and Jeremy call out to them. "Alexis, Jared, wake up," Ulrich calls out. "We're trapped in a bubble created by Kaante," Jeremy explains. Alexis and Jared snap out of it and pull away. "It was Kaante's spell," Alexis explains. "Sure," Jared stammers. Rosé, Apin, Rocky, and Moxie are playing beer pong. "I am tired of losing," Apin said. "Then win," Moxie said. "I need a new partner," Rocky said. "I need more beer," Rosé said as she took a few sips. "Guys, wake up," Dexter said. "We're in Kaante's trap!" Yumi shouts. "Whoa, what?" Rocky asks. "Why does the school look weird?" Moxie asks. "My grandmother told me about this," Rosé said. "Kaante has gotten stronger. We're in a magical dimension where everything is like our work but with a certain level of boldness." "I think we're passed that. I don't trick beer unless it is hard cider or Shandy Cribe," Apin said. "We need to meet at the fountain," Dexter said. "She invited us."
Over at the fountain, Johanne holds her leg. "Ouch, what was I thinking?" "You weren't," Marina said."It was all Kaante." "We need to stop her, but what happened?" Jimmy asks. "When we all attack her to trap her, she activates a charm that traps everyone inside this magical dimension," Allison said. The group gathers around. "How do we go inside? I don't breathe underwater?" Haru asks. Odd touches the water. 'It feels like the waterfall Calvin made us walk through." "This Calvin guy again. What did he make you do?" Dexter asks. "He made us walk through a waterfall that transported us to our past lives in Planet Hearts." (Please read Fairy Soldiers: Friends Forever) "Should we go?" "We have no choice," Aelita said. "What do you think, Princess?" Apin asks. "Daah is on the other side of this fountain. We have to free her. We'll go," Allison said—all of the Pokemon protest. "Daah is our friend," Ash said. "We have to save her." Pikachu understands and speaks to the Pokemon, and those living in a Pokeball return inside. "Let's go," Allison said, holding Raichu in her arms. Sam's necklace glows. "She's waiting. I can feel it." The group jumps inside as Kaante smiles. "My pets!"


When Fred enters her office, Daphne takes some notes on her laptop and closes the door. "Well, well. Isn't it my lovely wife and Queen," Fred said. He gives Daphne a bouquet of pink roses. "Thank you, Freddie," Daphne said as she kissed Fred. Fred pulls Daphne close, and the couple begins to undress each other. In the afterglow, Fred kisses Daphne's shoulders. Daphne opens her eyes and sees something in the mirror. "Fred, look at the mirror," Daphne sternly says. "You wanna see if we still look good? I know you do," Fred teases. "Fred! Look!" Fred looks at the mirror and sees something shocking. "It looks like we're sleeping at Providence National Stadium." "It does," Daphne said. "Wait, did the kids defeat Kaante?" Fred asks. "I think we're in a trap of hers—a magical dimension. Daphne gets up and summons the Golden Storybook. Fred covers Daphne in a robe as she searches for answers. "I'll get dressed while you look for answers," Fred awkwardly said. Daphne finds it. "Kaante placed us in a world where everything is the same, with a boldness boost," Daphne said. She gets dressed as Fred reads on. "The kids will have to enter the fountain." "I know." Daphne and Fred leave her office and notice everyone acting a little superficial. "Can we break the trance?" Fred asks. "We can, but we need to do something first." Daphne enters the Royal Jewelry Room and takes out a set of Achroite. "Those were the kids' graduation gifts," Fred said. "They need it now," Daphne said. She summons the cats to appear. "Our Queen," Cāndanī speaks. "As you know, Kaante is an evil jumbie who feasts on grief. She used to live in a silk cotton tree until she relocated to Lakeshore Academy High School," Daphne said. "Yeah, Daah took one of the cotton balls and placed it inside the school fountain," Staravia said. "Yes. The young Soldiers and their friends will have to enter her world to free their friend." "We will be at service, you Majesty," Subaha said. "Thank you." Daphne gives the cats the gemstones. "Go to Kaante's world and aid them. They will need your help." "We haven't helped them in almost two years," Twilight said. "We allowed them to grow as fairies, but we are also their friends," Beree said. "I agree. We will take the gemstones to them and aid them as needed," Dusk said. "Thank you," Daphne said. The cats leave as Daphne and Fred go around to snap the palace back to reality.


The teens enter Kaante's world, an indigo-violet misty field of clouds. "It looks dead," Brock said. "It feels dead," Cressila said. Ash J notices that Rockyu is missing. "Rocky?" "Haru is missing too," Johanne said. "The two fairy hybrids are not here," Dexter said. "They're here," Sajin said. "My phone has great reception, and their location is next to us." "Maybe because they were not completely fairies, they were sent somewhere where human souls go," Allison said. "Will they be okay?" Johanne asks. "I think so. We all have to go in the same direction; I think we will meet up," Jimmy said. Haru and Rocky wake up in a pink mist field of flowers. "Where are we?" Haru asks. "Where are the others?" Rocky asks. "I don't know.' "Wait, the two humans are together. Just like in Inuyasha," Haru said. "Right, when they went into the dimension, Kagome was sent somewhere else because she was human, not a demon," Rocky said. "So, are we going to find our friends? "According to my phone, they're next to us." "Okay, we can follow the path," Haru said. "Please let this be with minimal pain," Rocky said. The group walks down the path and sees souls going everywhere. "Kaante makes a mocky of my job," Hiroshima said. "How?" Rosé asks. "I guide souls when they want to give up a piece of themselves for reincarnation and the rest of them to peace. Kaante uses grief to cause chaos. I'm surprised she didn't bring Sangharsh back from the grave." Ash gulps as Allison holds his hand. "It's okay," she whispers. Crash! Three Pokemon appear before the group. "A Gastly, an Alohan Marowak, and a Flutter Mane," Ash said. "Why does Flutter Mane look like that?" Ulrich asks. "Maybe a long-lost relative of Little Miss," Marina said. Little Miss comes out of her Pokeball. " Mismagius!" "I think she wants to battle," Jimmy said. Allison's Aloha Marowak comes out as well. "Maro!" "There is only room for one Marowak," Alison said. Brock's Steelix comes out. "Steelix!" "Three on Three," Brock said. On the other side, Rocky and Haru come across a Scream Tail and an Espeon. "They look cute," Haru said. The Pokemon's eyes turn red and black, and they roar. "Nevermind," Haru says. Inteleon and Venusaur come out of their Pokeballs. "Saur!" "Intele!" "A double battle," Rocky said. "Inteleon, use Water Gun," Haru commands. "Venusaur, use Razor Leaf," Rocky commands. The moves each attack the Pokemon. Scream Tail uses Pound on Venusaur, and Espeon uses Tackle on Inteleon. "Marowak, use Bone Rush," Allison commands. "Little Miss, use, Astonish," Marina commands. "Steeliz, Iron Tail," Brock commands. The rival Marowak also uses Bone Rush, Gastly uses Night Slash, and Flutter Mane uses Shadow Ball. "They're tough," Brock said. "We're tougher," Marina said. "Piplup!" "Pikachu!" "Raichu!" "Victinti!" "You have your cheering squad," Sam states. "We do, which is great motivation," Allison said. "Use Shadow Bone!" "Use Power Gem," Marina said. "Use Stone Hedge," Brock said. The three rival Pokemon use Shadow Ball. "Use Petal Dance," Rocky said. "Use Snipe Shot," Haru said. Espeon uses Psychic to return the Snipe Shot, and Scream Tail uses Psychic Fangss at Venasuar. "What the heck is Psychic Fang?" Haru asks. "Ask Hiroshima. Her Pinky loves to use it," Rocky said. "I want to end this. Are you with me?" "Yeah, and I know how to do it." Haru takes out his Dynanmax Band and recalls his Inteleon. "Let's go! Gigantamax!" Gigantamax Inteleon appears and uses G-Max Hydrosnipe on Espeon, which is a direct hit. "If we're upgrading, it's our turn," Rocky said as he touched a necklace his father gave him. "It was a gift for completing ninth grade. Let's go, Venusaur! Mega Evolve!" Venusaur Mega Evolves and uses Vine Whip to grab and slam Scream Tail. Rival Marowak uses Shadow Ball, and Flutter Mane uses Astonish. "Use Hex," Allison and Marnia command. Brock rubs his fist. "At this rate, we'll be here all day." Brock takes out a Z-Ring. "Whoa, when did Brock get that?" Alexis asks. "Shh. I'm watching," Rosé said. "Let's go!" Brock said as he did the Z-Move pose. "Continental Crush!" Large pieces of rock crush Gastly. "Now it is my turn," Allison said. "WhatI going to do?" Marnia asks. "I don't have anything. I left my keystone in my room because it has a small crack." "Bring me your wrist," Allison said. She taps her Z-Ring on Marnia's wrist. "It's a magic trick. It only works once during this battle, and we must do it simultaneously." "Okay, I'm ready,' Marina said. "Listen up, Kaante!" Allison calls out. "We're ending this once and for all," Marina said. The girls do their Z-Move Pose. "We hope that once this is over," Allison said. "You'll going to have a" Marina said. "Never Ending Nightmare," Allison and Marina said. Little Miss and Allison's Marowak use the Z-Move and surround their rival in darkness. A purple wave comes crashing through the area. Aelita's Squirtle emerges from its Pokeball and uses Rapid Spin to break the wave, and it starts to glow. "What's happening?" Aelita asks. "It's evolving," Odd said. "Wartortle!" "Wartortle," Aelita calls out as it jumps into her arms. "The wave breaks the area in half and opens the space. "Haru! Rocky!" Johanne exclaims as she hugs her best friend. "I'm good. Rock and I handled a Scream Tail and an Espeon." "We had a share of battles, too," Brock said. Ash J and Moxie hug Rocky. "Are you okay?" "Yeah, right, Venusaur?" Rocky asks. "Venusaur!"


The group walks down the path and sees Daah sitting on the throne. "Daah!" Sajin calls out. Daah does not respond. Allison hears tiny footsteps, and she draws her sword. "Wait," Dawn said. "Look who it is?" The cats arrive with Hiroki, Devon, Mariam, and Silver. "What are you all doing here?" Allison asks. "We were sent to West Campus, and it took us a minute to figure out we were in a magical dimension," Hiroki said. 'We figured out everyone went to find my sister, so we went to the fountain," Mariam said. "However, we ran into these felines, and they took us to a shortcut,' Devon said. "Shortcut?" Alexis asks in an annoyed tone. "Yes. If you walk backward, you'll get to this throne room sooner," Silver said. "And we went through the wringer for nothing!" "Don't mind, Alexis. I'm glad you're here," Allison said as she ran to Cāndanī and hugged her. "Long time no see, Allison," Cāndanī said. "Did our mother send you to help us?" Sam asks. "Yes, Sam," Beree said. "When she couldn't find you and noticed that everyone was in a weird world, she asked us to give you something." Dusk looks at his color and notices that the gemstones are gone. "Where are they?" "I wonder where your little gemstones went?" Kaante taunts. "Let Daah go!" Sajin shouts. "Or, you all can stay here." Kaante taps Daah's nose. "Leave me sister alone!" Mariam shouts. She charges at Kaante, but a shield of black lightning shocks her, and she falls into Apin's arms. "Ouch," Mariam said. "What the heck, Kaante?" Apin asks. "My little trick." Kaante walks around with red and pink hair and a black pearl chain around her neck. "Look at the felines who have a mind but no bodies." "Let the young Knight go, and you can return to the silk cotton tree," Staravia said. "Back to the tree? BACK TO THE TREE?" Kaante laughs. "I won't. I will be free and bring Planet Hearts to my vision, where I control everything. Grief has the power to make people do crazy things. Hence why I am here.m Daah's love for Sangharsh grew dn grew until she came to see me at the tree and planted one of my pieces of cotton in your school's magical fountain in hopes of bringing Sangharsh back. He did but went to the person he wanted to see, which drove Daah insane." "He came back? To whom?" Odd asks. Hiroshima looks at Ash and sees Allison squeezing his hand. "It was me," Ash announced. "You?" Silver asks. "My brother went to see you?" "He has been haunting, torturing, and even trying to kill me a few times." "I was never going to hurt you," Sangharsh said as he appeared. Silver walks to her brother and smacks him. "Ouch!" "You could have returned to me, your sister, and your parents, but you instead deal with your silly one-sided feud with our leader!" Silver runs away. "Silver!" Mariam calls after her. "We should go and find her," Hiroki tells Devon. "We should go. Sangharsh was in their class," Haru tells Johanne, who agrees. Twilight, Dusk, and Beree follow the group as well. Sangharsh looks at the group and gulps. "This explains all the times Ashton has been unhinged and weird," Jared said. "Look, I'm sorry for whatever I have done, but I will make things right." Kaante pulls on Sangharsh. "Not so fast!" Kaante shouts. "What are you doing to him?" Yumi asks. "Let him go to his sister." "No. Her grief is strong as well!" Kaante waves her hands as thorns start to appear from the ground. "What is going on?" Odd asks. "Draw your swords! Draw your wands!" Allison commands.


Kaante summons thorns to surround the group. The cats try to transform into their Pokemon forms, but Kaante has blocked their powers. "We still have claws," Subaha said as she scratched some thorns away. More and more thorns surround the group. Daah stirs awake and smiles. "Join me," she whispers. "Daah, wake up. It's me, your best friend," Sajin shouts. Daah does not respond. The thorns increase, and prices throw their bodies. Kaante waves her hands and sings, "As my thorns go through, their blood is mine. As the blood drops, the world stops in time. As the world freezes, I'll take their breaths. "As they lose air, the world will repent. The world will repent!" Kaante looks around and sees the young Fairy Soldiers, the Knights, and their friends all impaired in her wind chime of glassy thorns. Silver is still crying when Johanne hugs her. "Look, when this is over, maybe Sangharsh will visit you before he returns," "To where? He chose to be a jerk instead of my brother. His dick may be good if Daah is still hung up on him, " Silver cries. "I'm sorry, what?" Haru asks. Johanne turns around. "A wave of thorns!" The wave of thorns freezes them in place. Daphne and Fred finish bringing the soldiers and their staff back to reality at the palace. "The sky looks gray," Johanna said. Jessica looks at her Inferno Ball. "Kaante's coming," she said. At the moment, the wave of glass thorns covers the palace and the members inside, and the whole planet is a frozen wasteland. "And now, it's mine!" Kaante laughs as he taps the noses of the children. She walks past them, and the Fairy Soldiers' watches glow.
