Chapter 12: Willow's Inner Self
In space, the same alien in the chamber grew tired of loads of robots sending out the planet, only to get destroyed, so instead of getting the Omnitrix, he needed to find something that valued to the bearer.
"Droids!" Vilgax shouted
A small droid the size of a pigeon came to him, having a red lid.
"Collected data and bring it back to me, no matter the cost," Vilgax states as the droids fly off to planet Earth.
It's been a week since the whole knight capture, Willow has been acting strange lately like she is more willing to take on any training or hoping a crisis comes in and charge in... she's being reckless and, a bit rude, like a different person.
Eda drives the RV, sees the sign, looks back and sees the kids getting up, and smiles. "Morning gang, we're in another city,"
Gus sees the place from the window, as a normal city, but one different thing from anyone is a giant green and black pyramid, he sees a sign. "NorrisVille."
Luz pours her cereal and Amity. "It says got cool attractions, hopping we gonna have fun there,"
"Ditto, on that," Gus responded as pouring his cereal
"Yeah, heard got nice food, I gonna pick a spot," Willow's voice be heard from the bathroom.
The bathroom door opened, and the gang looked shocked except for King, Willow wore a white tank top that showed her stomach, green shorts pajamas, her hair was messy, and brushing her teeth was sloppy. "What?"
Luz coughing while blushing. "Umm...Willow, don't wanna be rude, but it's your sleeping wearing is a bit,"
Amity covers Gus's eyes who gets a red face, she glares. "A BIG REVEALING?!"
Willow only shrugged. "Heh, thought to change it up a little,"
"Like me when going that age," Eda smirked
Willow pours her cereal, and Gus clears his throat. "Umm, Willow, you kind of...acting out lately,"
"What do you mean Gus," Willow asked looking at him with a frown.
"It's just acting more...like a rebel, one time saving the day, you almost revealing using your powers," Gus answered
"It's called relaxing, so chill Dweebus," Willow states as she walks off. "I'll be in my bed,"
They see the curtains close, Gus's faceplate on the table. "I miss the old Willow,"
Luz patted the boy's head. "Me too Gus, maybe it's time for her,"
"Oh I know, really getting her cranky doing it," Amity responded both boys were a little confused about what they saying.
In a place that looks like a lab, all over are technology inventions, and someone testing on a machine, is a man who is tall and thin, has dark brown hair with a gray streak, a beard, and black eyes. He wears a lavender lab coat over a purple shirt and lavender ascot, purple pants, glasses with purple rims, and black shoes. His alternate outfit is a pair of very short royal purple shorts, a black belt with a brass buckle, and white socks with royal purple stripes.
"A year and still hadn't broken the surface," He mumbled
A screen came on showing a man is a stocky with blond hair. He is almost bald and has a handle-bar mustache. He wears a brown business suit, black shoes, and a red tie with a necktie pin. He also has a mechanical arm with a brain in it.
"Viceroy! It's time for a new opening, the robots are ready?!" He shouted
"Yes McFist, the Robo Sea Creatures are in trucks, I coming-" The man known as Viceroy replied as McFist's screen went off, he looked at the switched his screen to control, just one laser-hitting object but nothing happened as he sighed. "Next time,"
Viceroy walked out of his lab, unaware that the object he working on was a mysterious stone that leaked out black mix white fire, burst out is a creature that looked demonic look, phased through a wall.
The gang came to the city, seeing the whole place having technology that looked like belonged to one place which happens to be the green tech pyramid.
"Man, this is big," Gus comments looking at the pyramid.
"Whoever owns it got a big ego," Willow crossed her arms in annoyance.
"Hey looked," Luz said pointing through the window.
Eda parked the RV, the gang came out, and seeing the whole people, seeing loads of citizens seemed to introduce a new way of this heated day. "You kids have fun, I just trying at least park the RV, and survive this heat,"
They walked into the crowd, seeing the people were mostly teens and kids, in summer outfits, and few adults were there.
"Even got stands for delicious icy treats," King whispered seeing a kid get a large sundae.
"We should wear something that totally cannot get heat stroke," Amity said fanning herself.
Luz placed her hand on Gus's head. "Oh Gus, can we do a little favor about getting our stuff,"
Gus only one wearing a blue v-neck shirt, green trunks, and green shoes, sighs as goes to the side of a changing room, he releases a chest. "You lucky you mine friends,"
Willow lifted the chest in one hand and placed the other one on her hip. "Just cause trouble you two and let us change,"
The girls go into the changing room both Gus and King look at each other and walk off, the ladder speaks. "So...Ice cream?"
"You read my mind and check that out," King answered in his dog form, looking at something that might have Gus's wins.
Gus sees another win a prize that can answer a simple ice cream joke, many teens try to do it but fail each time. "Oh boy,"
"Hiya Peeps!" Shouted an all-slender teen girl, having orange hair a red hairclip on her bangs, deep blue eyes, and a beauty mark on her left cheek. She wears a cream-colored shirt, the sleeves ending at her elbows, with red on the collar, sleeves, and bottom. She also wears a red bracelet on her right arm, a dark brown skirt, long white socks, and red dress shoes. "Heidi Weinerman here with another Gossip Report! A big hot day of summer vacation, each student trying to figure out each joke to get all free-for-all ice cream! All of them failed, and my pathetic little brother Howard is about to pass out,"
"COME ON MAN, PLEASE!" Shouted is short and chubby. He has orange hair like Heidi, brown eyes, and tiny hands. His plump appearance shows wears a blue shirt with an octopus/squid design on it, a teal jacket with rolled-up sleeves, dark green shorts, and red sneakers. "WHY DO QUESTIONS, WE DYING IN THIS HEAT!"
"Sorry, it's the way we do things," The robot monkey said
"Say if win, everyone gets ice cream?" Gus asked going to the stand.
"Correct," The robot monkey answered pointing to the meters. "If you reach the meter, all people get free ice cream, simply answered the jokes."
Gus stands on the stage, he looks at the people coughing and smiles. "Well hello ladies and gentlemen, name Augustus D. Porter...called me Gus!" He pointed to one of the teens. "Yo, the one with the trumpet. The sparkler and the Roman candle had quite the summer romance...wonder why?"
A teen with shades only answered does a trump, Gus answered waving his hands in the air. "Sparks were flying everywhere!"
The teens chuckle even the teen with shades does the music of amusement, Gus points to a girl. "Hey, how do sand toys feel about summer?"
A girl has bears eyes of a deep shade of blue and a mane of cropped violet tresses adorned with three streaks of lavender, elegantly gathered into a petite ponytail by an orange hairband. She wearing a dark blue summer dress, matching blue wristbands, and sandals. "Hmm-mm,"
Gus spoke with acted like a shoving. "They dig it!"
Everyone laughed, even the girl placed her hand on her mouth, giggling at the joke, King seeing the meter in the yellow. 'Come on Gus...you getting it,'
Far away, a truck with a limo, parked in front is McFist and Viceroy came out. "Geez this heat machine you made gets hotter to us,"
"Hey, you wanna hot summer day so get these young ones out in the open," Viceroy states looking at his screen. "And the robot sea creatures is good as ready,"
From a tree, someone is looking, and listening in their conversation, happens to be the cat creature known from King, Kat, he jumps down and runs to the back of the truck, and uses his sharp claws to open it. Kat sees inside a total of five sea creature robots; an octopus, a shark, a stingray, a dolphin, and a crab, making the pink cat smile evilly.
The girls came out of the changing room, Luz came out wearing a purple tank top, blue jeans shorts, and sandals. "Ah much better, this enough gets cool down from the heat,"
"Got that right Luz," Amity's voice came out
Luz turned and blushed to see Amity wearing a pink top tied up sideways, a blue skirt, and brown sandals. 'Oh my...she looks so so..."
"Why did you two just make out already," Willow states making both blush, she wearing a dark green sports bra, blue ripped jeans shorts, and boots.
"Jeez Willow, where get those clothes?!" Luz's question blushes hard even Amity, seeing a big sister to them is acting this way.
"Had it since the mall, not used it until now," Willow states putting on shades.
Both girls are worried, that Willow has become this rebellion, and they should keep an eye on her until the three of them hear laughing from the crowds. They go into the crowd each one laughing to the top, once they get to the front, they see Gus on top of the stand and speak. "What do pirates and swimmers have in common?" He jumped up in the air as he formed a ball and shouted. "They both love cannonballs!"
Everyone laughs except Willow and Amity, Luz seems to be snickering at Gus's dweeb-ness, the meter turning red as the bell rings and the robot monkey shouts. "Winner, winner winner! Here's your treat!"
The robot monkeys appear as throwing ice cream in the air, everyone cheering and grabbing the ice cream, the main group grabs there's ice cream treats, and Gus comes down, about to go to his friends but Heidi seems blocking holding a speaker. "Here we have our little comedy ice cream hero, Gus D. Porter, we and people around the summer fair to thank you for the great laugh and delicious icy treats, any review to any people they watching."
Gus only smiled. "Umm, thank you for watching, and hope you all survive this heat,"
Heidi turns to her screen. "And there you have folks, stay tuned tomorrow for news to come up," She turned off her camera, and turned to Gus. "Alright kid, you got my laugh and respect,"
"Thanks for us getting the ice cream," Spoke a guy with the same purple highlight girl, he has a very slim build. He is also somewhat taller. He has natural Tyrian purple hair, which has bangs hanging over his face with a long lock centered on his face, and sapphire blue eyes. He's wearing a red t-shirt with a white stripe that angles up to form the same "Greek key" symbol. He also wears a dark teal hoodie that has wavy sleeves and pockets, and black and purple zip-up shoes. "You cheese us with those awesome jokes,"
Gus looked at them. "Well can't beat the classics-"
Willow grabbed hold of Gus, made him go behind her, and glared a little at them. "Hey thanks for the comment, mine tell us who you guys are,"
He sees the kid with a group. "Oh name Randy Cunningham, you know Heidi Weinerman and best friend Howard who loads of ice cream that fell on the ground,"
Howard has loads of ice cream sticks in his mouth. "What, five-second rules,"
The girl spoke with a smile. "I'm Theresa Flowler, nice to meet you all and-," She holds Randy's arm, smiling and placing her head on Randy's shoulder. "We're on our first date!"
Luz smiled at their new couple. "Hello, I'm Luz, this is Amity, our pet King, protective one Willow, and you know Gus, mind telling us what is fair about,"
"Well it's about whole cool down from the heat, McFist created something that might help cool down the day," Heidi answered
Randy looked up. "Until then, let's all enjoy the day, there are loads of things to do, so let's keep on partying!"
Willow grabbed the whole of Gus. "Yeah before that, I need Gus for a minute, something important,"
They see the Parks dragging down Gus who's a little confused, all of them have questions but only one has suspicious looks.
At the same time, in the forest, an area of fresh land grass, Eda seems to be relaxing on the sun chair lounger, with a glass of her finest apple blood, he smiles at this quiet. "Ahh...this is what I waiting for,"
A few meters away, someone watching her, happens to be Lilith with loads of men with her. "There she is, defenseless without the kids, and that curses RV, now move,"
The man begins walking slowly towards her, then the place starts shaking and then comes out is Hooty. "HOOT SURPIRSED!" Hooty tackles one of the men, then makes a swing causing four men to hit the ground.
Lilith summons her staff and sends out a beam. "ARGH!"
Hooty looked down. "Oh, it's a bug!" He dodges the beam by looking closer and realizes it's a leaf. "Oh it's a leaf, but that's cool!" He munching on it.
Eda smiled big seeing her looney tech guardian protecting her. "Oh Hooty, you are my blessing and a curse,"
She's looking at her scroll, seeing past photos, all the time in her teenhood until now, this curse has caused nothing separate throughout her life, have to push away her parents, give up the love of her life, and become a wanted criminal to survive...until she got to photos of finding Hooty, feeding baby King, a group picture with whole kids; she standing on background, Gus with King who is top of the boy's head as both doing peace signs, Willow waves at the screen, Luz hugging Amity while winking at the camera, the Blight blushing nervously looking at the one who hugging her.
Eda smiles at the picture, she thinks to herself. "Jeez can't believe started to like kids,"
Speaking of the kids, Eda views Luz the most, she has been training hard to master her magic with Amity's help, her path to becoming a witch making the Owl Lady proud, and finds out Luz's egg gonna hatch soon by the cracks, so if that happens, need to be a celebrate and needs something to protect. 'A witch needs a robe,'
Back in the group, Gus gets pulled into an alley by Willow. "Huh Willow, why did you pull me away, should talk with the others?"
"With other new friends, no chance...I just wanna show you this, you're always the one who listens to me," Willow said pulling out her gloves.
"Okay," Gus nodded
Great!" Willow smirked as he then got into what he wanted to tell Lincoln. "So, I've been working on my powers all my days working out. Check it."
Gus then watched as Willow looked around making sure no one watched, and headed over to the power switch before shutting out. The boy sees Willow her hand in the air while another still holding the power switch. Suddenly Willow's hand began to surge with electricity that was conducted into the other hand. What resulted was shooting out a bolt of lightning.
Gus let out a long awe and had starry eyes in response. "So cool!"
Willow removed her hand, this caused the lights in the building to go back on. "Thanks, I have also been practicing absorbing energy and using it as blast attacks."
Someone leans in their communication with a suspicious look on their face. "Hmm..."
"But…" Gus looked back to see Willow fidgeting with her hands and staring at his wrist. More importantly...the Omnitrix. "I always absorb rocks, crystal, or any solid matter for fighting...haven't felt anything like absorbing the energy from your watch, so..." Willow then started to slowly reach out for it. "Maybe...I can just…"
"HEY GUYS," Amity shouted grabbed Gus pulls him away from Willow. "I tell you that the water machines are here, so Gus, King wanted to see now... let's go already,"
"But Willow-" Gus states get pull away.
"Now Gus!" Amity roars while smiling.
Amity brought Gus away, leaving an irate Willow, who gritted her teeth and tightened her fists. 'She did it again, like before!'
Amity pulled Gus to the sidewalk, she let go of him, and he spoke. "Why do you do that, she thought the best way to"
"Gus, it's best not to let Willow get your hands on the Omnitrix," Amity replied looking at him with a frown. "She has been acting differently especially so interested in that watch,"
Gus looked down, he didn't wanna argue with her, but she did have a point, throughout the week, she eyed Omnitrix, trying to find a way to grab it and the best way to get him to be alone or hang out with her. Ever since that...spark hit her arm. "Ooh, guess she doesn't spend time with me,"
Amity is saddened for the boy, she places her hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry Gus, but we will get her back, just need to think away,"
"Yeah, and another thing..." Gus said pointing in panic mode. "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!"
Both see the sea creatures' robots going haywire, destroying fair; a shark biting a water stand, a stingray shooting actual lasers at the water balloon stand, an Octopus shooting out loads of water blasts from his arms, that pressure so hard cut the light post falling on the ground, the dolphin uses his steel tail to hit the people out of the big pool, and finally the grabbed whole of the people.
"Oh boy..." Gus stated with a widened look.
"I get Luz, you start with them, whatever you do...don't let Willow get a hand on that watch," Amity replied looking at him seriously, then ran off.
Gus turns on his watch, he is about to slam it when until hears a shout.
"SMOKE BOMB!"
A red smoke appears on top of another lap post, showing a ninja in a teen voice, from top to bottom covered but his eyes are, in black with red schemes, having a long red scarf reaching to the back and one around the waist. "You robo jerks mess up, on this very day!" He jumped in the air pulled out three rings and shouted. "Ninja Stars!"
Gus was alarmed about who it was, it was the Norrisville Ninja, a defender of the city and high school, and he needed some help. 'It's...Hero Time!"
The Ninja battles the shark, with his sword, and the Octopus aims at the back, Ninja has a plan in mind but something comes in and crashes down...Ninja looked back to see a four-armed alien taking down the Octopus, ripping off the robot's arms. "Hey, I know you, you one of those alien heroes!"
"And you are a cool ninja hero, can I help stop the robots with my friends," Strong-Arms responded looking up with a smile. "And here they come,"
Ninja sees Bat and Kit come down, both fighting the dolphin; Kit lifts the robot sea creature to the air in pink arua, as Bat shoots it with purple blasts. 'I think gonna finish this sooner,'
Willow came in to see the action, and she got angry. 'Seriously, they started without me?!" She runs to Strong Arms. "Gus, I don't have my jacket on me, let me use the energy on the watch, so we can take down the octopus together!"
"Uuuuum…" Strong Arms lets out in undecision until sees Willow eagerly looking at his watch icon. "…WATCH OUT!" Strong Arms suddenly yelled as he quickly the octopus arm that aimed at Willow who was coming in from the left.
Willow tried to call out to Strong Arms again but was ignored as the four-armed alien hero, pushed the octopus robot back.
Willow surprisingly growled in irritation at her own best friend ignoring her and fighting the robot on his own. There's no way she missed out on the battle, Parks noticed that the red alien's back was completely bare as he was focusing on fighting off the robot. Rubbing her hands together, causing them to spark a bit, Willow quickly ran to the four-armed alien jumped up onto his back, and started climbing to his shoulders.
Bat looked up and was shocked to see. "Huh guys, I think that robot is the grand finale,"
All of them see a giant robot with the same green and metal scheme as others, the only difference is the robot has five sea monster heads...the Lernaean hydra!
Strong Arms was unaware of Willow climbing on him as he was busy breaking each robotic arm by ripping them off. It was honestly pretty easy. It seemed this alien form was way stronger than any metal of evil company. Until he felt something on his neck, Strong Arms stopped fighting and looked back and gasped as he saw Willow hanging onto his shoulder with her hand over the Omnitrix symbol. "Willow...no!"
It was too late as Willow put her hand on the watch icon and started to absorb the energy from the Omnitrix...the blue electricity went through her arm, all the way to her body, and she screaming falls to the ground. And then... started to change and mutate to match the form his best friend was in. Her skin started to turn a sickly red color as she started growing taller. An extra set of arms grew under his regular arms ripping through her shirt. Just then a giant muscular arm grew out of her right side over her original arm. Then her glasses came off and revealed the left side of her face had changed to match Strong Arms with having 2 dark blue eyes.
Strong Arms fear seeing Willow like this. "Willow...you okay?"
Willow looked at him, grinned like a madman, and started laughing rather manically. "I better okay, let's kill this robot!"
Willow jumped in the air, as much worried about his best friend, Strong Arms got to go focus on the one in hand. "Let's take this robot first as quickly as possible,"
"You heard that guy, let's take it out!" Bat shouted as she and Kit jumped on the Hydra.
Ninja is a thrill having other heroes helping him but disturbing to one of them. "This is the CHEESE!"
All of them take down the hydra, but the metal is a bit thick to break through, all of them know the legend about the monster and the best thing to do-
"AHAHAHAH!" All of them turn Willow pulling a head off while laughing maniacal. "Now I ending you!"
"Willow if you ripped off a hydra's head!" Strong Arms shouted seeing the head get ripped off. "Two heads grow back," He looks down seeing a child looking at the battle, the head is going down to him. "LOOK OUT!"
The kid got grabbed by Theresa in the neck of time, making the heroes realize a life was saved.
The neck grows two heads fast speed knocking the mutated Willow, and sending her down to the ground. Ninja looked at this and turned to them. "Guys, I got to plan, it always has weaknesses, so find an opening and let me do all the rest!"
As so many others got the Ninja, each one goes either top or bottom through the hydra, while the machine beast tries to get the best get them using his long necks. But Bat seeing a door at the back, opened up seeing loads of wires going through seeing the glowing heart. "Hey Ninja, find it on the back,"
"Of course, now stand back, I got this," Ninja said as he ran to the wall of the building.
Strong Arms know what he doing, he looked at them. "Get back! He's doing it,"
Ninja reaches the top and jumps off seeing the weak spot, his whole ninja suit turns red with the black scheme, and his eyes are red, creating a large fireball in his hand, and shouts. "Ninja Tengu Fireball!"
Ninja shoots his fireball to the back of the hydra, once contact everything goes red, and then...a huge explosive causes the hydra to blow into an explosive. The pieces fell to the ground leaving only the legs and remaining heads. The whole gang comes together as Norrisville's shinboi speaks. "Well gang thanks for your help I gotta bounce so...SMOKE BOMB!"
They see Ninja throw a smoke pellet on the ground causing red smoke around causing them to cough and winch.
"Oh man, what is that smell?!" Bat shouted almost vomit in her mouth.
"Is like skunk mix tree sap!" Kit states holding her nose.
Strong Arms coughing. "I think gonna pass out!"
Ninja's voice has been called out. "You be surprised to get used to it!"
Once the smoke clears, they finish saving the day and turn to Willow who finally disappears leaving a ripped shirt showing her black sports bra, all of them having a concerned look on their faces. Unaware of them, the same black and white fire comes out of the ground and goes inside Willow's head
At the park, Willow wakes up from her slumber, she meets Gus, Luz, Amity, and King each one looking at her with concern. "Why are you guys looking at me like that?"
"Willow, we need to talk..." Luz said in worry.
"What was that?" Gus asked looking at her with a frown.
Willow rubbed her head, standing up while speaking. "Some kind of mess robot monster,"
"No, I mean you, why on earth do you consume the watch's energy like that," Amity shouted angrily
"I can consume energy and I thought to use the watch as gets forms like Gus, you see me," Willow said
"Yeah, but more of a completely manic! You almost cause a kid to meet his end!" Amity shouted
Willow rubs her eyes with a bit of glare. "Hey, I just trying to save the day,"
"With everything not being reckless, it's not our thing even you!" Amity state
All of them were surprised to see Willow...growled, grit her teeth, and tighten her fists, she stood her ground and looked deeply at Amity. "Why are we always your way?!"
"Excuse me?" Amity question raises her eyebrow.
"Ever since you came along, it's always something important, it's all about you Blight!" Willow answered glaring deeply at her.
"What's going on with Willow, she acting out of character," Gus questions
King looking at the Park, the traits are familiar; change of behavior, power hungry, showing anger. "Oh no, she an Osmosian?"
"A what now?" Gus questioned looking at him.
"I forgot that her race can absorb everything...but too much will drive them insane! It seems the energy from the watch, is doing things to her mind! It's making her mentally unstable. We have to calm her down and get that energy out of her or she will hurt us and herself." King shouted in panic.
Luz held up her hands. "Willow, please...calm down, you not thinking straight,"
Willow walks angrily towards Amity who backs up, a bit scared. "I'm sick of you messing me for years, sick of everyone praising you while getting laughed at being a female jock, I'm sick of you everything goes your way while I'm in your shadow!"
Gus between them, defending Amity and stopping Willow from doing something that regrets. "This isn't you Willow! It's the power! It's doing things to you! I want the old Willow back, I want my best friend back!" He then got grabbed by the arm and lifted in the air. "Ouch, Willow stop...you hurting me!"
"Why are you defending this girl Gus?! Have you forgotten what she did to you, to me?! I shouldn't have thought you, my friend!" Willow shouted angrily looking at Gus's arm, seeing the watch, power hunger rushing through her head. "I don't know why I let you keep doing this hero stunts! GIVE ME THAT DAME WATCH!"
All of them were horrified hearing that, see Willow grab the watch, each one shouted. "Willow...NO!"
Too late Willow already absorbing energy directly from the watch, she wanted to consume every ounce of it. However, just then the Omnitrix started to pulsate with energy making full energy waves and shockwaves. Suddenly a giant blue shock wave was released from the Omnitrix which forcibly sent Willow off of Gus, both flying into separate grasses.
The three check on Gus first, seeing the watch spark out blue electricity a bit, Luz helps Gus up. "Are you okay,"
Gus didn't care about himself now, he looked up to his friend. "Willow...are you-"
"AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Everyone was taken aback by Willow's loud and slightly distorted-sounding pain. Then fear is what took over as they watched as Willow's body started to change. She started to grow in size to the point where her pants were incredibly stretched out and her shirt was ripped off. Body parts started to come out of her while screaming in pain, wings and a tail formed as well, and her existing body parts changed drastically.
"My god..." Amity whispered in horror seeing her friend like this.
King holding Luz's leg. "She...She's-"
Willow's body then started to gain extra arms as his normal arms started to change with one crystallizing and another growing lava coal, an orange fur growing.
"I...think gonna be sick," Luz stated holding her mouth.
Gus didn't even look away, only seeing the one he got saved from, see her finish changing with a scream. "W-Willow..."
When they could see again, they witnessed the full effect of Willow Parks. She was now a giant size tall, and her skin was mostly a sickly dark yellowish all over. She had four arms with his top left resembling Diamondhead, his top right similar to Heatblast, and her bottom arms having Sic' em and Mimic. All of her backhands have Bolt Foot's plugs, the upper arms have Cyclops eyes, and the bottom has Aqua Shells coral holes. On her upper back, it's furry similar to Bolt Foot. She had black streaks like NightFreak over his chest. The bottom of her arms had wings like Sky Beams but the pattern of the wings has the color scheme of NightFright. He has a mix of Sky Beam and Camo-Gecko's tail on her. Her head has her hair but it's loose up into wild. The left side of her face looked like Strong Arms with 2 blue eyes and her right side had Croak Sense's eye.
Willow opened her eyes, she looked at her hands shocked to see them, she tried to walk but only tripped, making a fall near the pond, sees her reflection, and all three eyes widened in horror. "AHHHHHHH!"
Gus walked slowly. "Willow...please...calm down,"
Willow only swings her lava arm at Gus, releasing a fireball at him, but Amity grabs the whole of Ghost, summoning her staff, stopping the fireball!
"Willow are you nuts, you almost burned him!" Amity shouted protecting Gus.
Willow looked at Amity, pure hatred, her eyes flashing out the black and white fire, she stomped towards her. "You...make him do this!"
Each one was confused about what she saying, and Amity stepped back. "W-What?"
"You...hurt me...make fun of me...and now you turning Gus against me!" Willow shouted each one her anger raised.
Luz panicked about Willow's next move will be. "Amity...FLY!"
Amity took off with her staff in a panic, Willow jumped up and used the wings to fly, and Luz tried to stop by using her magic to construct a purple sphere to trap Willow. But Willow hits the sphere three times as shattered like glass, Luz drops to the ground in exhaustion, and both boys rush to help Luz up.
Gus looked up and saw his best friend flying off, he shouted to her. "Willow!"
Randy seems to be enjoying his lunch with Theresa at the restaurant, both blush while smiling, and the teen coughs. "Theresa, I heard you saved a child, that was amazing,"
"Yeah thanks just glad the Ninja was there and saved the day," Theresa replied making Randy smile bashfully.
Harold simply eats his meal with a bored look. 'Well least I can eat and watch my show,'
"W-Well, let's finish our lunch and dessert," Randy states eating his burger.
Theresa made a cute smile and slowly ate her salad. "Okay, but I got the best dessert I think of right now,"
Randy eats his fries. "Yeah, what of it,"
"Your lips," Theresa answered making Randy freeze in place.
They hear screaming, and all of them see a monster flying after a blurred object, Theresa worries while Randy grimaces.
'Not...now, the dessert,' Randy thought looking at Theresa.
"Hope Ninja does something, he always does what is right Randy?" Heidi's question turns to see Randy is gone even Harold is gone. 'Here he goes again,'
Eda is in the RV, knitting something from her potion pot, hoping to finish halfway through today, until hearing her scroll ring, she answers it. "Yes?"
"Huh Eda, we got a problem," Gus said
"It's about the whole King thing, just-"
"Nonono, it's Willow she absorbs the watch energy and turns something that she completely out of control and hunts Amity...we need to stop her,"
"Oh come on, I bad is she doing that damage in some form?" Eda asked
Then suddenly the RV shook hard, making Eda fall on the couch, she stood up and looked outside, seeing Amity dodging Willow's attack hiding through the trees. "I take it back,"
Amity holding her breath, seeing Willow walking through the woods, breaks a tree. 'Even she's destroyed a tree?!"
"Come out Blight! So I can end you!" Willow shouted breaking another tree, she glared and then smiled. "I realized something?" Her Strong Arm's eyes change, turning green and red, everything turns. "I can sense your heat?"
Amity alarmed, ducks down as Willow's tail breaks the tree, showing an evilly smile to the Blight who created a pink barrier. Willow hits the barrier lots of times causing the ground to shake as cracks appear, Amity holds on with all her strength to keep the barrier going until she uses both hands to create electricity through the hands and slam them on the barrier causing it to shatter as Amity falls on the ground.
Willow held up her lava fist and created a flame ball. "Hope good enough be with the ones above!"
Amity slowly holds up her hand. "Willow...please!"
Willow is about to throw her fist, and end her life but is grabbed by a Knife Sickles, turn to see Ninja.
"Never know the Sorcerer is back," Ninja responded tightening her grip. "So still still so I can unstanked you,"
"EXCUSE ME YOU LITTLE-" Willow shouted another hand was wrapped in yellow magic rope. "EDA!"
"Kid, you need to calm down," Eda responds with worry.
"I won't calm down until this Blight is-" Willow shouted stopped by a whispering voice.
"I'm sorry Willow..."
Willow felt compete shocked through her mind making her scream a bit until she passed out, she fell on her back, leaving a thumping sound. Appearing Vibe Spark who only looks at Willow's sadness about what his done.
Amity standing up. "Thanks, Gus,"
Vibe Spark flew down and changed back to Gus. "It's just, how we gonna save her from this,"
Luz and King came in from the bus, breathing heavily. "Gus...why not...Bolt Foot,"
"Exactly, but I felt something else inside her head, like a burning fire that felt like a torch," Gus responded looking at Willow.
Eda sees this situation as more than just some magic, she speaks up. "I think got an idea,"
The Ninja is puzzled. "So what going on?"
"You want us to do what?!"
Willow is bound to the ground with loads of golden energy chains, Luz and Amity talk to Eda who comes up with a spell. "You two needed to go inside Willow's mind, something might be come up that drove her to kill you Amity, if find the source, it may release the energy, calming her mind as then Gus sucked away the energy."
Gus looks down. "I wished wanna helped more,"
Luz places her hand on Gus's shoulder. "You are, release that energy is the only way to bring her back, do you trust us,"
Gus looked up and nodded. "Okay..."
Eda spoke. "Alright! A bold choice, taking the girl who caused the mess." Draws a spell circle around them and summons a bell. "When you're done, ring that and I'll cast you back—Oh, and keep an eye out for her "Inner Willow." She's the gatekeeper of emotions and memory. She might help ya." Eda lifts her hand. The spell circle around Luz and Amity produces a light that encases them. "Now, here you two go!"
Luz and Amity disappear into the yellow light of the spell. Eda directs it to Willow, still fast asleep. As King spoke to them like an echo. "Good Luck!"
Light appears and bursts forward. Luz and Amity shield their eyes. When the light dims, they're standing in a forest, each tree growing around a dark picture frame. Luz and Amity look around and start walking.
"So this is Willow's mind, she is a nature lover," Luz joked
Amity looked around seeing a few brunt marks through the place. "Where's her Inner Willow? Do you think it'll help?
Luz goes to a nearby tree. "I don't know. We'll just have to start fixing stuff on our own! Hmm, now let's see..."
Luz blows dust off a frame and coughs, it's a picture of a fort on a beach. Luz touches it with her hand, which goes through the picture, poking it just a few times. "Hey, I found something magical. I'mma put my face in it!" Laughs as she enters the picture.
Amity turns to see Luz is gone. "Luz...Luz!" She runs to the tree.
Then suddenly sticks her head out of the frame. "I think I found the memories. Let's go!" She grabbed hold of Amity's wrist.
Amity was shocked to see, now getting dragged into the frame. " W-Wait Ahhh!"
Luz and Amity fall through the opposite side of the picture, landing face first. Luz stands up and smiles while closing. "And welcome to Willow's beautiful..." She opened her eyes, and dropped her smile. "memory?"
The memory is in grayscale and burning. They're at a grassy beach with a dock and a sign that reads "LACUNA".
Amity smiled at the place. "Lacuna! This is where Willow and I took swimming lessons in summer vacation when we were little! The ash must be from the fires." Seeing the place is missing something. "Our fort! In the dunes! One time Willow wanted to play hooky from our swim lessons, so we built this!" She grabs a plank and shoves it in Luz's hands.
Luz smirks at this. "Forts, hooky, Willow. Can words get any cuter?"
Amity walked around the place. "We knew the swim teacher would be on the prowl, but Willow said she it's a perfect hidden place to camp out. Looks at the fort in amazed and pride.
Luz smiled at the fort. "It's like a little dog house for angels!"
Amity rubs her chin, with a puzzled look. "Wait, but something is missing."
Amity felt something from the ground, looked down, she swiped sand off a small flag reading "A+W". She smiles at it fondly before putting it in a small flowerpot tied to the top of the fort. "There."
The memory's color returns. Amity and Luz appear back outside the memory picture in Willow's mind
Amity looked around and smiled. "We're back!"
Luz looked at the frame. "And we just fix a memory," Seeing the action, making spots a willow wearing thick brown gloves. "She wearing gloves all the time?"
"Every time, as she panicked about forgetting to get gloves when going out, she was scared of touching anything or anyone...we're best friends so she trusted me knowing her secret," Amity said looking down.
"Well, let's keep on going, check up on this one," Luz goes to the party frame.
Amity visibly panics. Luz starts to climb into the picture. "Wait! Uhh. Do you want important moments?"Gestures to the awkward hair day picture. "This one might be about a crush!" Hidden smiles nervously.
Luz sees the picture and makes a cat-like smirk. "Hmm, don't mind if I do!"
They both climb in the frame, unaware that a white fiery footsteps are on the ground.
Outside of the RV, Gus seems to be sitting in front of sleepy Luz, Amity, and Willow saddened with a frown, he felt a touch on his shoulder, and he looked up to see Eda. "Kid, maybe I watch over them,
"But...But..." Gus said standing up, looking up with a frown.
"Kid, you needed a bit of a snack so go out and hang out with the ninja, King, and the fat one, I called you when she started moving" Eda replied
Gus nodded he walked to the RV, seeing all three just relaxing, watching TV from Hooty. "Hey guys, switches place."
Randy sits on a folded chair. "Cool, really talk about your aliens,"
"Yeah man," Harold said eating a bag of chips. "How it feel turning into those cool aliens,"
"Honestly...kinda same, but same time different," Gus said sitting next to King. "So how does it feel to wear a living mask?"
"You watch a guy with black goop living inside, it's the same without any side effects and full control," Randy answered pulling out his mask. "One downside is hard to breathe, guess block whole smoke bombs doing,"
"So this is so an important thing you need to be here," a Familiar voice
They turn to see Theresa with a glare as her hands are on her hips and has her bike leaning at the tree.
"Theresa," Randy said with a nervous smile, she began to walk away. "No wait,"
"Oh boy, this gonna be good," Howard replied eating his chips.
Both Gus and King looked at him with a glare as the boy spoke. "Dude, who's side you on?"
Randy quickly went to Theresa and grabbed her hand. "Theresa wait! I can explain," She looked at him with a puzzled look. "Well you see...it's that...I just trying..." He shunned himself. "No...I can't keep doing this." He looks at Theresa with a frown. "Theresa, I like you, really, really like you...but to keep this relationship strong, I needed to come clean,"
Howard little panicked. "Huh Cunningham is a bit-"
"No Howard, I needed to do this..." Randy said looking back seriously, he looked down, he put his hand in his pocket. "Theresa...I'm-"
Theresa walked to him with her arms crossed and with a frown. "Randy...I know you're the Ninja...I know your secret this whole time,"
All of their jaws dropped to see Theresa, who knows Randy is a hero all the time, and he shook his head out of shock. "W-Wait, you knew...since when?"
Theresa looked up. "Randy, I know since kindergarten," She looked at him. "When finally met the ninja, you keep saying. 'When I become the Ninja, I'll introduce myself in front of everyone on the first day of high school'...and Ninja did just that."
They looked at Randy deadpan while he had an awkward smile. "I mean it was kindergarten,"
"You keep saying that until fifth grade!" Theresa shouted and looked at him. "At first, I was puzzled until figured when Ninja showed up, you were gone, how to defeat us in laser tag, and wonder how got in your closet?"
"So you're not mad?" Randy asked
"At first..." Theresa answered and glared at him making Randy flinched. "But after you saved people countless times and stopped that crazy green-skinned man underneath the school, I didn't ask 'cause it's personal...so I waited until you're comfortable."
Randy smiled at her, he pulled out a black and red book from his bag. "I glade you say that, but also I can't tell cause if this secret comes out...it will show me the Ultimate Lesson,"
"Ultimate Lesson?" Theresa's questions even Gus and King looked.
"It's the final lesson that every Ninja passed down in four years, on graduation day, will wipe all memories and put them in the Ninja Nomicon, but if the truth comes out, it will wipe out all my memories of being the Ninja," Randy said looked at with a frown. "Can I trust you to keep this secret?"
"Of course, I can, I've been keeping this secret long before you know," Theresa smirked at him. "You still infuriating Randy Cunningham,"
Howard makes a gag. "Argh, think gonna barf,"
Gus smiled at this, turns out both come together truth comes out. 'Hope Luz and Amity like that,'
"Umm...Gus!" Eda shouted
The boy looked back, got up, and ran, others followed suit, they came through the bushes, seeing Willow trying to break the chains while her body burning through black and white fire.
"Something wrong with her, she burning up, trying to get Luz and Amity back but unresponded!" Eda shouted as she tried to make a circle. "My spell ain't working!"
Gus gets serious, he turns on his watch, he looks at it. "Listen Omnitrix, I not joking around, for once, I need Bolt Foot, not Hot Shot, not Aqua Shell, not even Croak Sense, Bolt Foot!" He presses his watch as turning into his ghost alien. "NightFright...Oh, come on!"
NightFright has no choice but to use this alien, he goes to Willow and touches her head but once made contact, his whole body goes inside, and each person is surprised.
"That's creepy," King comment
NightFright floats down and sees a forest but this place is creepy and no life, seeing frames that kids laughing at the crying Willow, hugging her knees while under a tree, and Willow screaming at the a ladybug. "This must be the bad memories,"
He flies through the place trying to find Luz and Amity, and he spots a fire on one tree, weird enough only one tree, he goes inside. And seeing himself in a lab, Willow seems to be sleeping on a couch, without her glasses. 'Oh, the problem is that got the handle,'
NightFright grabbed handles from the ground and placed them on sleepy Willow in a chamber, the color returned, and Willow woke up, she was scared that she was in a new place, that looked like a creepy place, she opened it when it was open, spotted the phone, and she went to it until the ghost alien hero heard voice.
"Is she finally changing, as soon she is perfect for Project: End,"
NightFright turns to the double steel door, he goes to it and hears a manly voice and then a feminine one.
"I don't care as long that Parks doesn't ruin my plans again,"
NightFright was shocked to hear that voice, and couldn't believe she was willing to do that to Willow, then sirens came in both shocked and running stomping...burst open three cops and one of them was Martha in her cop uniform.
"Mom?!" NightFright question realized her go-away trip to bust an illegal laboratory while he and Dad were in New York.
Martha held up a gun. "Alright, surrounded the place, arrested those who worked here,"
"H-Help..." Willow said came out of hiding.
Martha looked to see a weak and pale child, she placed her gun on her thigh gun holster, went to her, and picked her up, petting Willow's back. "It's okay, you're safe..." She turns and is horrified to see a few kids in the chambers, touching her communicator from her shirt. "Chief, get the ambulance, we got kids and needed medical attention,"
NightFright smiled at the scene. "Way to go, Mom," He flies out of the frame.
NightFright flies out, he goes deeper until the forest turns bright and full of life, and he sees burning white and black fire, he then sees that shocked a large giant white monster with black flames with pupils, Luz is on the ground while Amity defends her
Amity sees NightFright. "Gus, that monster is messing frames, it's responsible for all this,"
The monster throws three white fireballs at NightFright, who dodges the balls levitates a piece of the ground, and throws it at the monster. The monster gets hit making a roar charging at the ghost alien, NightFright keeps flying around it, dodging the flaming hands.
"Guys, how do take it out, wished change to Aqua Shell to be blasted with water," NightFright shouted
Luz has an idea and sees the summer frame. "Gus, lean to the right!"
NightFright flies to the right, and Luz and Amity hold hands creating a mixture of pink and purple orbs both shoot out a powerful beam. The monster gets pushed through the photo and lands on the pillar as it grows, and the monster slides into the lake. Luz and Amity look around the pillar. All three go inside and see the monster in the water.
Luz smiled big. "Woo! Teamwork, baby!"
She high-fives NightFright and she hugs Amity, causing her to blush. Amity looks down at Luz's arms, then up at the lake.
"Uhhh...guys," Amity said looking at the lake.
A shadow is standing in the lake, obscured by fog. The fog clears, revealing Willow, black and white flames around her. She looks at Luz, Amity, and NightFright.
NightFright pointed at her in surprise. "Are you... the Inner Willow?"
Inner Willow looks at her hands, and looks up, showing darkness in her eyes. "I was...Love, sadness, fear..." Her footsteps leave flames in the sand."I used to be a being made of all emotions. But ever since the fire and power are in Willow's mind, all I can feel is ANGER!"
Her hands ignite in flames. Around them, the memory starts to burn again. A tree is set on fire, then another, and then the fort...the flag burns to ash...Luz, Amity, and NightFright watch the destruction of Willow's precious memories.
Luz begged Willow. "Please...Stop this, you destroying yourself!"
"Why should I...it's what Willow this, and Amity wanted this as well." Inner Willow responded to Summons birthday party frame and grabbed it with a hand made of fire. "Every moment she touched, I'm going to burn."
Amity goes in front of her. "You're just hurting Willow. Why are you doing this?"
Inner Willow goes in Amity's face. "Still haven't figured it out yet? Then I'll show you!" Throws Amity into the memory, and turns to Luz and NightFright. "You wanted to know everything, right? Then come take a trip down memory lane."
Luz rubs her head. "You're saying it all creepy, but I like the sound of—whoa!"
Inner Willow grabs Luz by the cowl and tosses her through the memory, turning to NightFright, and giving him a frown. "Gus...you wanna know what's happened to me, deep down...you know you want to,"
NightFright sees her, and to calm her down follows her demands, so he goes inside as Inner Willow follows him.
In Amity's childhood bedroom. Amity bounces off her bed and lands on her feet. Luz flies through the air and crashes into something, NightFright phases in and looks around. Luz walks over to Amity while rubbing her head, helping her up, each of them examines the place. "Where are we?" Luz asked
Inner Willow came with a glare. "You said I was hurting Willow? I was just finished destroying what Amity wanted...to disappear!"
With a bell toll and a flash of flame, the memory begins playing. The door to Young Amity's room opens, and Young Amity and Young Willow enter, Amity glares while Willow is worried.
"You have to get out, Willow, now!" Amity angrily
Willow jumped in surprised. "W-Why?"
Amity tightened her eyes and gripped her hands. "Because...you are..."
Willow rubs her gloves. "Because what I am, please Amity...don't hate because-" Tried to touch Amity's hand.
The Blight swings her hand away. "Well, yes, that—that is why! Because you're different! You can't be around me, so I don't wanna be your friend. Now, go...you...you..." She turns to her with anger. "FREAK!"
Inner Willow makes them disappear into dust. Young Amity's scowl disappears to reveal Amity's resigned expression, while Young Willow's tearful face reveals Inner Willow's furious one.
"I thought...because lower class but no...because I have these powers, so then you let your new friends pick on her for years. All because you thought she was weak." Inner Wilow floats in the air. "Well, now I can erase all that pain away."
Amity's feet were surrounded by fire, Luz and NightFright were about to help but she shouted. "Wait! Please." The flames disappeared, and all looked at her with a frown. "Before all this started, there was something else."
The door opens. A light turns on in the darkness behind it, showing Young Amity, her mother's shadow looming over her.
Odalia looks at her with a frown. "What is Willow doing here? She wasn't on the guest list for a reason."
"But, she's—she's my best friend!" Young Amity shouted surprising Inner Willow and others.
Odalia glared a little. "Nonsense, Blights only associate with the families that are the highest rank. You can choose a new friend from one of the suitable companions we invited."
A black and white picture of young Boscha and Skara appears next to the Blights, both witchlings looking bored.
"But they're mean! Just because you work with their parents doesn't mean I have to like them!" Young Amity shouted shouted turning away.
"Good children don't squabble, dear. Sever your ties with Willow, and if you don't...I will make sure she and the rest of the Parks will leave Gravefield and never come back," Odalia states making Young Amity gasp. "Now go, and try not to make a scene."
The door closes. All color in the room fades as flames go out, and all of them turn to Amity who frowns with a bit of tears going down. "You protecting her," Luz spoke
"Yes...Willow, you were never too weak to be my friend. I was too weak to be yours...so much you take me and others mock you and keep going since this day. I can't take back what I've done, but I can promise you this...I will be better than ever, will you forgive me?" Amity said
Inner Willow nodded. "I do." Grabs Amity's hand, and both look at each other. "I think Willow should keep her memories of you. The good, and the bad."
Amity hugs Inner Willow. "Me too,"
Luz tears up at the scene. "Then, if it's okay, Amity and I even Nighty still have some work to do."
Inner Willow nods. The three of them put their heads together, and NightFright flies out of the place.
Outside at the RV, the fire mixed with blue energy came out of Willow screaming, bursting out of her eyes and mouth black, and white, and a blue beam went out of the sky and disappeared.
Howard holds his lunch. "I think gonna be sick."
King was disgusted. "What's happening?!"
Eda sees Willow begin to shrink. "They did it,"
A flash of light later, they're back in the main forest of Willow's mind...Luz grabbed the full color of the frame and handed Amity the repaired birthday photo. Amity hangs it in the tree, and NightFright spots something, pointing in a direction that makes the girls look. Inner Willow and Young Inner Willow walk out from behind a tree, no longer surrounded by flames, holding Young Inner Willow's hand. Amity waves at them, Luz is ugly crying, and NightFright waving both his hands. Young Inner Willow turns to leave and walks face-first into a tree. She giggles and runs off, Inner Willow waves and follows her.
"Well take care of that, let's go-" Luz said rang the bell, and both she and Amity glowed in golden light and beam up.
NightFright flies up and follows them. "Hey Wait up!"
Luz and Amity woke up as NightFright came out of Willow's head as dial suddenly came on and changed back to Gus who fell face first on the ground. "Argh...hated that happened,"
Willow woke up having a blanket on her chest, she saw everyone. "What...happened?"
They are in the RV, and they comfort her after being through so much, meanwhile talking to the others.
"Hey, thanks up and meeting you guys," Gus said
"Meeting an alien hero, you are good in my book," Randy state
"And hope to see guys since with that cool app," Howard shouted holding up his phone.
Theresa walked to the girl who was covered. "How are you holding up Willow?"
"I'm getting better, I need to get away from the watch," Willow shivered Sits on a soft chair drinking tea.
"You okay with this hero work, I worried about Randy going into danger but I put my heart he be alright and fate in him," Theresa said
"Same with Gus, I make sure to be there for him like do with me," Willow replied
"Listen, Willow, that's exactly like to hear," Theresa lower to her level. "Listen Willow that kid is maybe be a major dweeb but enjoy while you can cause someday, that little boy soon not belittle you know,"
Willow smiled and nodded, she walked off to join Randy and Howard, the upper turned into the Ninja and did a Smoke Bomb causing the girls in shocked. "That was a crazy day,"
Gus goes to her. "Willow, I'm sorry for not thinking about feelings and not letting pick sooner...it's our summer vacation, we go whatever we wanna go...together." He hugged her.
Willow smiled, hearing buzzing from the phone, she checked it and grew serious. "Gus, I think I know where to go...we need to go back to New York,"
Gus was confused until he, Luz, and Amity saw their phones, seeing the news of certain blue and red-suited men with a cape getting beaten left and right by loads of villains, then got a text from L.L
"Gus...we need your and others help...Superman is in trouble!"
