Abigail yawned while looking ahead of her as she walked through the hallway of her home. It was a fresh and brand new morning but for some odd reason she had a headache, Abigail supposed she would ask her dad for some medicine to help the onset of her headaches.
Stopping in place within the hallway, Abigail looked into an empty bedroom that had its door open. Abigail tried to figure out what was missing, didn't that room belong to…her brother? Was it a guest room…Abigail frowned as something in her mind was stopping her from remembering who the room belonged to.
"Dad…" Abigail hollered as she headed down the stairs, "Who's room did that empty one belong to?" She asked as she entered the kitchen with her parents chowing away at their breakfast.
Mister Lincoln chuckled with mirth, "Don't you remember Abby? That was your brother's room." He answered with amusement.
Abigail shook her head in denial, "No, who had it after?" She desperately asked, thinking her mind had been erased about…someone?
Her mother gave a look of thought, "We were planning on making it a guest room-"
"Noo! Didn't I have….have…ragh!" Abigail protested and scratched her head in aggravation.
Mister Lincoln frowned and stood up, "You alright baby girl?"
With haste, Abigail exited the kitchen. "Just fine, I think I forgot something at Nigel's house!" She desperately excused herself to get herself out of the house.
The parents looked at each other and shrugged.
Delightful mansion down the lane
Benedict glared at his shelves with some vacant spots. He had woken up with a slight headache, made worse when he spotted the blank spaces on his shelves in his study. Someone or something had infiltrated his home, and stole picture frames of all things.
What made him more unsettled was the empty room bare of any decorations or even furniture, then there was the fact some evidence of a teen girl having left her stuff in one of the bathrooms. The teen girl stuff did not belong to his adopted daughters, at least he hoped not yet…
Oh good god he has to have the 'Talk' of cleanliness with the girls…no, wait, maybe he could ask Céline some help as a favor. After all, she has a…a…wait a minute, what was he thinking about again?
France
-Sézanne tower-
Céline had an upset look as she viewed her office, and spotted areas that had marks of photo frames having been in their spots before being removed. She pursed her lips as she tried to remember what the frames were supposed to have held, but all she came up with was a misty memory.
She would need to view her security cameras and find out who had infiltrated her office, just to steal some picture frames.
Sector V Broccoli treehouse
Various Broccoli folk roamed the area trying to make heads or tales of their circumstances, they remembered finally coming to the surface but the process of memories were a bit jumbled. The place surrounding the massive Broccoli Tree was empty, with some evidence of buildings having been once built around the area.
A few Broccoli folk even felt they were missing a few of their own, but for the life of them it always came up blank.
United Kingdom
Vlad roamed the empty Hallways as he tried finding Sir Bella Duval Winterhall Montgomery, he frowned in aggravation as the employees denied ever remembering serving Bella Montgomery.
"This has Pixies and Fairies written all over this." Vlad seethed in anger, before turning in his heels to begin finding the closest Mushroom circle.
Retirement Home
Balthazar Uno relaxed in his chair as he had just woken up, after grabbing himself a complimentary breakfast at the cafeteria. Grandfather now sat with his television on, before a prick at his mind prompt him to stand up with an angered snarl. His eyes with Black sclera and yellow irises scanned the room, before gazing out his window.
-Outside the retirement home-
Birds chirped and the sky was clear, before the ground began to shake followed by every critter running in fright.
THAT WENCH!
Grandfather's deep voice shook the entire area from his anger.
Stark's Residence
"There is a disturbance on our wards, dear." a regal looking brunette wearing a black dress trimmed and outlined with white said as she checked on the number of burnt amulets and destroyed talismans that lie around the house.
"Yeah, this doesn't look good at all, Mari." Julius added as he inspected them as well, "We were probably attacked while we were asleep but at the same time, we don't know who did it."
"Perhaps it is a supernatural force that decided to move into the county, son in law." Count Spankulot looked at the broken wards as well.
The three adults were not happy with the amount of broken magical wards that they found all over the place. It had been bothering them ever since they woke up to the smell of something burning and after they woke up to see what was the source of it, they found the house's defenses toppled and destroyed by a mysterious force. They were uncertain as to what caused all of it but since none of the five people underneath their house was affected, Count Spankulot assumed that the attack failed and the attacker gave up and left for the next target.
While it was a relief for them, the idea of someone being determined enough to burn through the Stark's wardings made them uneasy as to who and what would cause such a thing.
"Mom, Dad, Uncle! Me and Terry will be going to school now." Wayne shouted as he and Terry grabbed their bags and helmet from the kitchen counter to go to their schools through Wayne's motorcycle.
"Very well, take good care and be good, you two." the Mother of the two children said while the other two adults waved at them.
Wayne and Terry walked towards the front door so that they could get to the garage and ride their way to their destination. Terry is quite excited with going to school as he and Tommy had been making a lot of friends and formed their own superhero team. Wayne smiled at his little brother since he knew that it was true since they have been standing up for the lower grades against other older kids who pick on them. He heard that they stopped Heinrich from holding a bunny rabbit hostage to get to the chocolate volcano mountain.
He still wasn't happy with what the fat, candy obsessed creep did when he went forth and manipulated the Golden Brown Horde into doing his bidding to try and take over the Temple of the Seven Flavors and enslave the dessert monks. At least that was resolved months ago.
Gallagher Elementary
Abigail paced at the drop off area, hoping to run into Terry. She needed to ask so many questions, Her memories had definitely been Messed with and she still remembers enough secrets of her time in the KND. Surely Terry's memories weren't messed with, her dilemma had supernatural fingerprints all over it!
Wayne and Terry arrived at the Gallagher on the motorcycle, as usual. Terry took off his helmet and hopped out of the sidecar.
"Terry, want to go and help out with the groceries later after school? My treat on the five snacks that you'd like to buy later." Wayne asked his little brother who perked up at the last part.
"Yeah! You better keep that word, brother!" Terry smiled at the teen dhampir who smiled at the enthusiasm that he showed.
"Of course I'll keep it. I'm your brother, remember?" Wayne added as he looked at the school.
Wayne noticed that there are eyes trained on him. They looked as if it was the first time that they saw him even though he came over to Gallagher to drive Terry to school for the past three years. He's not sure what to think of it but he did notice that there's something missing when he couldn't find Chad being fussed on by his parents on the front of their lawn… or saw other teens walking to school… or saw any teens for today.
"Hey Terry, who's that?" Tommy asked as he rushed to Terry's side in his Tommy Costume.
"Hey Tommy. Why are you asking who my older brother is despite meeting with him on a daily basis?" The younger dhampir was confused with Tommy's lack of memory towards Wayne.
"I don't know… I thought kids become adults after a few years… your brother… doesn't look like an adult?" Tommy was scratching his head as he tried to remember something, "I don't know…"
Wayne was becoming more and more suspicious at how people are acting as if this was the first time they saw a teenager.
Abigail rushed up to Terry with a worried look, "You gotta help, something's not right about today-...who are you?" She asked after realizing some odd looking older Kid was Near Terry.
"Abigail? Don't you remember me? I'm Wayne, Terry's older brother." Wayne answered Numbuh Five as she looked confused at the sight of him, "Are you also affected by something? We both helped each other out during the whole Seven Flavors Temple fiasco, remember?"
Abigail winced as she tried to dredge up what Might be another missing memory, She held her head in Frustration. "Numbuh Five feels like she should know!" She exclaimed in worry
"Wait… Abigail, do you remember Cree, your older sister?" Wayne asked the younger Lincoln as she tried to remember something. Then he noticed that his last words had shook her and caused her to look sharply at him.
Abigail Looked in shock and ran up to Wayne to grab him by the shirt, "So I Did Have Another Sibling!" She exclaimed with a cracked and worried voice, Abigail desperately gave Wayne a look. "My parents don't know, but I know I had a sister!" She hollered with tears breaking out a bit.
"Okay, this is getting really weird. I'll have to check on William for this…" Wayne took out his CAVE to check on William so that he could contact the man but he was out of reach."What in the… Cree then… wait, no contact too…"
He scrolled down on all of the contact list he had on his phone and realized that he cannot contact anyone who is at his age. They were all out of reach, both local and international list of people he stays in touch with and he cannot find anyone that he can reach out to.
He activated his CAVE's drone system to check on McClintlock if he can find them at his school but the entire school is very empty. It was as if the place was abandoned. He also checked on the Hub and he saw how much in turmoil the Hub was thanks to its Teen population disappearing. He even got PSAs from the Hub about the economy of the Cartel taking a hit thanks to the missing teens who were managing the Hub's other businesses and functions.
"Oh my god…" Wayne could only say that word as he realized that there are no teens to be found in just about anywhere, "Abigail, could you let go of me for a bit. I need to think about who did this and why the heck would they do this. Pretty sure that Father's not going to take out teens en masse if it means losing his teen assets. Count Spankulot stopped doing things like this and would have not approved of this…"
Abigail nodded while sniffling, releasing Wayne before wiping a bit of her tears away.
"Okay… I guess this boils down to two things… but I have to check on the other one since I'm leaning on the fact that he didn't do it…" Wayne pondered as he thought loudly, "Abigail, I am reluctant that I should ask you to accompany me to go to a place where an ancient villain lives but drastic times call for drastic measures and I'll need any help I could get."
Abigail blinked in confusion before resolving herself, "Anything to find out who did this!" she answered with a glare.
"Excellent. We're going to a Retirement Home and have a chat with an ancient villain called Grandfather. Whatever you see there, I advise you to not say anything about it."
"Wait…" Abigail's eyes widened in fear, "No, you can't mean…!" She asked
"That old bat, yes. Take this with you." Wayne handed over an amulet to Abigail that is a pouch with something metallic inside it, "Keep it on you. It's ageless steel. It keeps you from being affected by whatever temporal entropic powers he has. Even if he's depowered, it's better safe than sorry."
Abigail takes the amulet with a trepid look, "Numbuh five sure hopes you're right about this." She remarked to Wayne.
"Your Decommissioning Module only took his powers away but not his memory. I've been stockpiling ageless steel ever since I heard of that bit to make sure he can't turn us into senior citizombies should he get his powers back. Now get in the sidecar. We have a crisis to avert." Wayne took the extra helmet and handed it over to Abigail.
Abigail furrowed her brow as she followed Wayne to his bike, "Who else Knows About Grandfather's Situation?" She cautiously asked.
"Probably William. I just found out about him not being a doddering old man the moment I saw something in his mind when I worked part time at the Retirement Home." Wayne spoke with steel in his voice, "Do not let his exterior fool you."
Retirement Home
At the retirement home, Wayne and Abigail walked into the reception to inform them that they were there to visit the older Uno.
The Woman smiled at the Visitors, "Right Down the hall, to the Left, So Nice For children to visit the elderly." She chimed in obliviousness, not registering the older 'Kid' in front of her.
"Thank you, Ma'am. We'll be on our way then." Wayne nodded as he followed the direction that was given to them.
Abigail figited while she walked with Wayne to greet the fabled Adult Villain of so long ago.
The sound of feet walking to the door the teen knocked on echoed past the wooden door. "Hold yer horses, this old man ain't what he used to be." A cheerful old voice announced, before a hunched over old man greeted Wayne and Abigail. "Is this about the bingo game tonight?" He asked innocently while leaning on his cane, his body shook a bit as many old folks in their advanced age tend to do.
"William went missing along with a lot of teens and I'm quite sure that you are not a forgetful old timer, Mr. Uno." Wayne's brows furrowed as he knew how fake the old act was, "I advise to please drop it since we're facing a potential crisis here."
Life sparked in Balthazar Uno's eyes, returning to their color as he gazed at the two before him with eyes that bore into their souls. "Get in." He uttered with authority and the base of his tone was deep and guttural, no longer the innocent and cheerful tone he once used.
Abigail's spine tingled in fright while she entered the room with Wayne.
Grandfather glanced outside his door before slamming it shut with a thunderous boom of dread. "Half blood, figured you would catch on after so many of your visits." Grandfather sneered in anger.
"I already knew since day one and since I know that you have been sitting here and doing nothing due to lack of powers, I have no reason to interact that much with you, Mr. Uno." Wayne shrugged off the sneers of the old villain, "Besides, I'm not in the business of disturbing villains who do not get in my way or have no reason to antagonize."
Grandfather gestured the two of them to sit at the couch, Abigail took a seat as told with a cautionary look.
"Now, onto business, I'm just here to make sure that you don't have any fingerprints in this pixie dust smelling situation that we'll be dealing with in the next few minutes after this visit." Wayne bluntly said as he sat down on the offered seat, "Because I'm quite sure that you don't have any reason to side with those thumb sized maniacs."
The Room darkened As if something, or Someone had Taken all the light Of the room. Grandfather's Eyes glowed yellow in anger, while the place shook even though they were nowhere near a fault line or volcano…
"THAT WENCH SHOULD HAVE KEPT HER POWERS AND FINGERS OFF THIS PLANET!" Grandfather angrily stated, the room reverberated before the lights returned with Balthazar Uno standing straight up.
Wayne looked darker as he confirmed that it was not Grandfather who did this situation. He knew that fairies in general had been nothing but trouble. Even though they spread their propaganda about them being cute, nice and cuddly in general public, those in the magical community know how much of a problematic bunch the fairies were and how good they were at lacking any common sense, morality and orderliness in them.
Their recent action reminded him of the time they whisked away a lot of kids out of revenge when some villagers refused to pay the piper for driving away the rats that ruined their crops. Those children were reported to be seen as fairies when they were brought to some fairy kingdom and it later led to a war between humans and fairies.
"Yeah, it had to be those pocket maniacs then." Wayne sighed angrily while he looked at Abigail, who was clearly afraid after seeing the ancient villain rage, "Chaotic monsters, the lot of them."
Grandfather looked at Abigail with a look of disapproval, "Pull yourself together child!" he sighed irritably before facing Wayne. "Find the nearest Mushroom Circle, I doubt I need to explain why." He angrily spat at the situation.
"That's my plan once I confirm your innocence in this situation. I can't believe that I said innocent and you in one sentence." he muttered as he thought of the mushroom circle from before, "Might as well bring a lot of iron with me. Those maniacs still hate iron the last time I checked."
"Cold Iron to be precise" Grandfather corrected Wayne.
"I'm not there to kill those fairies. I'm just there to punish them for doing this stuff to us." Wayne frowned at the advice of using cold iron.
Grandfather frowned In disdain, "That's hot iron, not cold iron that Does it!" The elder Uno chastised Wayne, "What do you take me for, those genocidal Galactic Brats!?" He seethed.
"Well, cold iron it is then. I have some of those in stock. Thank you for the advice, Mr. Uno and sorry for disturbing you in… well… whatever you were doing. I'll send compensation after this incident is over and done with." Wayne stood up and prepared to leave the room with Abigail, who was still afraid during the whole meeting.
Grandfather Scoffed, "Pah, Just send my best regards to that Wench of a fairy Queen." He grinned at Wayne maliciously, "Give her a good punch in the face, tell her Balthazar says hello." He wickedly smiled.
"I'll make sure she'll get that message once we see that idiot and her gaggle of pocket maniacs. Let's go, Abigail. We have work to do." Wayne tapped Numbuh Five's shoulders and caused her to jolt back up to her senses.
Wayne can tell that the girl was scared out of her wits in meeting Grandfather for the first time in her life.
"Sure Thing!" Abigail quickly said before leaving the room.
"One more thing." Grandfather said before Wayne left, "You're on a time limit, get my grandson and the teens out before seventy two hours have passed." He deathly warned Wayne with an ominous tone.
"Got it. They spend more time after that and they're going to change for the worse…" Wayne's mind formed a picture of teens inside the fairy kingdom turning into something worse and he immediately shut down that thought, "Abigail, you heard Mr. Uno. We need to get a move on before you really lose your sister."
Abigail had a worried look cross her face as she agreed with Wayne, leaving with him out of the retirement home. The two left in a hurry, stopping by to the reception to thank them again for letting them visit Mr. Uno and went outside to the bike so that they could ride out of the place.
Outside the Retirement Home
"Whatever we did here, we're not going to talk about it." Wayne said as they rode away from the Retirement Home, "Don't tell anyone about the fact that Grandfather is still there. That place may not look like it but it's a prison meant for Grandfather after the rest of the world were free from the old villain's rule and were dead set on punishing him even if he "lost his memories". If someone or something gets Grandfather's powers back, everyone will be up in arms and will call for a war just because Grandfather has his powers back."
"Numbuh five Will have to Trust your judgment on this One, Numbuh five doesn't Even know What to even think about all This!" Abigail exclaimed with an astonished and worried look.
"Anyway, we're going to the Fairy Kingdom and make that Fairy Trash pay for this. We also have to get every teens out there or we'll end up having tons of teen fairies fluttering about and causing chaos and whatever they can think of out of whim." Wayne said with resolution as he stopped by at one of the empty houses in the suburbs of Sector V, "Since all teens are gone, we'd probably expect a massive fairy invasion that this world has ever seen."
Abigail paled at the thought, "That's …Numbuh Five doesn't like the thought of that!" She reeled in anger mixed with revulsion.
Wayne looked around and knocked on the door thrice. The door opened on its own behind the door was a stairway that appeared from the floor that opened up once the door opened.
"We're grabbing some equipment before we go to the fairy realm… by the way, does the rest of your team already know that you're here?" Wayne remembered as he noticed that he was forgetting something.
Wayne realized that he took Abigail with him before she could go to school with the rest of the kids and right in front of the crowd. He already sent a fake letter stating that Abigail needed to go outside of school to do something with adults. He's not sure if the other KND operatives will take it kindly that he took one of them elsewhere.
"Wouldn't be the first time Numbuh five dipped out from school." Abigail remarked with amusement, before frowning in thought.
"I just hope that they won't suddenly jump into wrong conclusions and attack me for no reason since they forgot enough to the point that we don't exist." Wayne was unsure of the comment that Abigail made earlier as he and the KND operative went down to reach the basement.
"Numbuh five wonders…how come Numbuh five was Able to realized she was missing a sibling…" Abigail tried to think on.
"That's because you have a sister and probably, the fairies weren't thorough enough in wiping out that memory from you." the Logistics Officer grimly mentioned that to her as they reached the door and Wayne started typing a series of codes and strings on the keypad.
Abigail agreed with Wayne, "We were close during our time in the knd as well." she mused.
The door opened and inside the door was a plethora of power armors, magic weapons, equipment, gadgets and books that will be used if ever a magical phenomena happened and the Rebellion needs to use something against magical elements.
Abigail's eyes widened, "Dang, now that's a personal armory." She whistled in amazement.
"Well, we do have to be prepared for anything and we can't exactly hide everything in our warehouses and storages." Wayne said as he started to pick and choose the equipment he will need for the Fairy Kingdom raid, "Arm up, Abigail. We have a pocket sized maniac to deal with before they turn all our buddies into fairies."
Abigail took the advice to heart and began arming herself up, "Numbuh five thought fairies were fake, some world…" Abigail mused in pondering.
"Fairy propaganda at work, Abigail. Still, the pint sized maniacs are really asking for a punch to the face if they think that they can easily get away with this." Wayne scoffed as he put his equipment inside one of the pocket hyperspace containers that he had purchased from the Cartel years ago.
Suddenly, the alert sirens of the armory blared out and the screens activated. It shows a group of three truancy officers who were just outside the empty house and with them is a Truancy-Bot that they brought with them. One of the three officers took out a headphone and shouted:
"Attention, child truants. You are both violating the law by leaving school outside of the after school hours without any adult supervision or company. You are to surrender yourselves right now and return to Gallagher Elementary School right away or you will be forced to return on your own accords."
This announcement set off anger within Wayne's heart as well as the desire to call himself stupid. Since he noticed that the people around him are treating him like an older kid, he thought that he can easily get out of school due to his school not existing but apparently, the adult hating senate's incredibly stupid bill caused the Truancy Officers to treat him like a kid regardless of being a teenager and had followed him to one of his hideouts to bring him back to Gallagher instead.
"No… no…. Nononononono… Not right now." Wayne gritted his teeth as he immediately looked at the control panel to activate the metal swarm option.
However, as he was about to press the option to have bees set upon the Truancy Officers, they were suddenly attacked by an army of robots. Robots that Wayne can easily recognize as the ones made by the Home Schooled Cartel. The officers tried to call for more reinforcements but the Cartel brought more robots with them. Soon, the entire street becomes a massive venue for a brawl where Truancy Bots and Officers are fighting against a Legion of Cartel Robots.
Wayne was shocked at the sight of it all until he got a message from the Cartel.
"Uh…what just happened?" Abigail asked cautiously.
"Salesfather protected us. He sent me a message about how the Cartel is in danger as well if we get delayed even further. Not only that, he had alerted the other KND operatives about older kids being kidnapped by something and they needed help." Wayne finished reading a message he got from the Cartel as he closed the metal swarm option.
Abigail frowned In thought, "wouldn't It Be difficult to Reason With the KND though, they most likely had their memories changed as well?" She asked in confusion.
"If you had your memories, the Cartel had kids, teens and adults helping each other out in the name of business and profit." Wayne said as he packed up the last thing that he needed to the upcoming raid, "As a part of the Cartel's alumni, we don't have as many problems with adults in our group compared to those outside of our organization."
Abigail nodded in understanding, "well, Numbuh five is ready to bust some pixie butt. You ready?" she smirked and asked as she finished prepping up.
"Always. I always wanted to see how far I can punt a freaking fairy with my iron boots. Anyway, we rush to the bike and ride to the mushroom circle as soon as possible." Wayne smirked as he went for the stairs, "Every minute wasted here is going to be bad for those inside the realm. Those fairies must be trying to make the teens stay there by enticing them with whatever they can throw at them."
Abigail snickered in amusement, "And Wayne goes for the kick-...and it's gooood baby!" She laughed in amusement while following after Wayne.
Wayne chuckled as they exited the armory to see the all out war that was going on in the streets. Truant Officers are currently trying to fight off the massive number of Cartel robots with their own robots while the Cartel Robots are keeping their attention to them. He and Abigail had to duck, dodge and weave through the crowd until they got to the bike. They both got to their seats and immediately drove off to the direction of the Mushroom Circle.
"We're going to have to make one more stopover before we get to the magical realm of those bugs first. We're going to need a bigger vehicle to fight the fairy menace first." Wayne said as he drove his motorcycle and kept it from slamming through a group of people and robots fighting it out on the streets.
Wayne's map screen on the motorcycle showed that before they could get to the Mushroom Circle, the Potato Farm was nearby. Wayne knows that inside the Potato Farm are one of the many dangerous vehicles and weapons that were made and powered by highly destructive potatoes of mass destruction.
"How big are we talking?" Abigail asked Wayne while she sat in the passenger side-car.
"You'll see." Wayne's only answer as he continued to watch for any piles of brawling machines nearby, "These fairies messed with the wrong group of people after this." he said with a dark tone as he thought of ways on expanding the mushroom circle for the Rebellion's massive tank to enter it.
Fairy Kingdom
William blinked his eyes open, only to see childish looking humanoids looking down at him. William blinked a few more times before shutting them, "Must be a lucid dream…" he reasoned before pinching his cheek, only to be met with a pout from one of the fae looking creatures.
"Aw, come on~!" Chimed in one of them, "That's your first response to seeing yourself in a fantastical realm of wonder!" The female one asked in her feminine tone.
The boyish looking fae creature giggled in response, "Maybe the teens are too far gone on their way to become boring adults." He remarked while snickering behind his hand.
William stood up abruptly, causing the fae creatures to stumble back in surprise. "Nope, I'm noping out of this please." William responded as he walked his way out of the wooden inner tree like room.
"Told you it too late to save teenagers." One of the fae teased the others.
The female of the group childishly pushed the boyish fae that spoke up, "Don't say that, we have to save those teens from becoming boring adults!" She exclaimed in worry.
"Is that a flying unicorn?" William asked in a deadpan voice from outside the room.
The fae looked at each other in excitement, thinking it wasn't too late for the teens.
"Get off of me!" Cree demanded as the fae folk around her tried 'helping' her put on a fairy dress, "I grew out of that stuff long ago!" She seethed before successfully getting the fae folk off her, and managing to get out from the treelike room.
After walking outside to a walkway that was ?grown? Outwards from the massive tree that she had exited out from, Cree's eyes widened as she view the massive forest city of fae creatures. "Oh you gotta be shit'n me." Cree sputtered in shock.
They are Fae, pixies, fairies, but You? You Are Worse. Maul and maim Until it is done.
Stacey let Out An Angered yell as she Burst out From Her confines of The Room built into The massive tree. She had kicked her way out of the window, destroying the wooden window frames in the process.
Shouts of disappointment, shock, and surprise could be heard from within the room Stacey had been in.
"MAUL AND MAIM, SHOOT AND TEAR THE TIES! I DON'T NEED SOME FAIRYTALE CRAP TO ENJOY LIFE!" Stacey angrily yelled into the air with imaginary flames of anger in her eyes, as she stood outside on a platform that wrapped around the massive tree.
Harold Coop eyed The Buffet Of Food held at a banquet of fairies, the teen Looked around With Grave suspicion And gave the Food A look of doubt. "Just because my belly is a bit robust, doesn't mean I'll fall for this crap." he denied the offered plate of exotic food from a tall And Lithe figure. "Lady, even children should say that the ice cream you have there is coated with too many sugar sprinkles!" Harold glared at The lithe fairy Looking Woman.
The Lithe fae creature Smiled intensely at Harold, "aw~ Come On, more sugar the Better~" the Female reasoned
Harold Pointed At the bowl Of ice cream, "That's practically A Bowl of sugar diabetes!" He responded back before getting up to leave, "Goodbye ma'am." He politely excused himself out of the banquet hall.
The Fae woman creature frowned in disbelief, "No one can simply resist the allure of all you can eat super sugar Caked ice cream." She tried to reason with herself.
"What the cursed iron are these teens!?" A fairy yelled in fright as fae in the area were flying off In fright, at the epicenter of the scurrying fairies were Raab and Nesco as They Controlled and Willed their asparagus and Broccoli Powers to fight off the annoying childish fairies.
"Who even likes Broccoli?" Cried a fairy as they flew off in fright.
Bending her knees, Nesco grinned in delight as she leapt through the air to land atop a flying unicorn, causing it to buck and get launched into the ground by Nesco with her legs shining a bright green hue. The Broccoli teen landed back down on the ground and laughed. "Hey you were right, Unicorns are fun…too kick!" She guffawed
Raab rolled his eyes at his sister's antics, while stringing up a captured Fairy within his asparagus vines. "Now, explain, why are we here?" He asked the fae with simmering anger, prompting the fae to look at Raab in nervousness.
Mushroom Circle…
Abigail looked on in amazement as she viewed what they would be using. "Dang." She muttered.
Wayne is rearranging the mushroom circles and adding more on it to make it large enough to give them some artillery support and transport vehicles to come in should they need it. The Potato Farm, aside from developing potato based equipment and weapons, had been a storage for some of the outdated vehicles that the Rebellion has. One of which was the old version of the Rebellion's super tank that was phased out in favor of more versatile vehicles and such. It was supposed to be slated for dismantling but Wayne saved the weapon and had it converted into a potato powered battle vehicle instead.
While it was not the most mobile of all vehicles, the vehicle can act as a great artillery piece and it was reported to have launched shells that reached a target three states away. It was still a capable machine despite being outdated. Wayne would rather bring in something that wasn't too cumbersome in their quest to punish the pixies but he was on time constraint and he couldn't reach the other bases that had better weapons and vehicles outside of the Potato Farm. Places with too much teenage activities in them were rendered gone thanks to fairy meddling and it annoyed him greatly that he has to use outdated stuff instead.
Once Wayne opens the portal, they will ride inside it with their vehicles and from there, proceed with the rescue mission. If ever they need support, the Super Tank will provide the artillery the two will need should they get into a sticky situation. He had his robots arm the Super Tank as he worked on the circle himself. He also had other defensive installations and vehicles to be positioned on the Mushroom Circle should they need something to defend the area.
The robotic drones of the Potato Farm also came along and had started to man the machines brought there along with them. Each of the robots are manning, calibrating, resupplying and refueling the equipment brought from the Potato Farm and were ordered to keep the fairies in while they get the teens out.
Wayne can only hope that the rest of the teens are still able to think clearly as he works on the circle so that it can remain open for their weapons to be of use once it needs to keep firing on anything that was not marked as friendly.
The sound of a scooter could be heard in the distance, before Abigail looked in shock as she saw who it was. Grandfather let out a grunt of effort as he climbed off his moped, and parked it aside. He let out a pained grunted as he cracked some stiffness Out Of his back, "dang Body Ain't what It used To be." He cursed to himself, the elder man Took out A wooden cane from the scooter's storage bag On The side Before Marching His way over to the teen And Girl.
"This is a surprise." Wayne's eyes widened as he looked up from his work and saw the older Uno walk by.
"Change of mind." he snapped with a glare, "I may not have My Powers, but I can still sock that wench." Balthazar Uno sneered in anger. "That Fae woman has Had it Coming a long time Ago." Grandfather Spat in Contempt.
"Are you certain about coming along with us? You know that you will be seen by a lot of people if you ever did." Wayne asked the old man as he was certain that not everyone outside of him, William and Abigail knew that Grandfather was still there despite having no powers.
Grandfather chuckled a bit, "Escaping that realm with your memories intact is easier said than done, brat!" He exclaimed with mirth, "Those that escape tend to forget their time there." The elder Uno explained with mirth, before allowing an anger look to cross his face. "Besides, that B-…that wench deserves a personal visit from yours truly." He cackled to himself with amusement.
"Agreed. The fairy queen needs to get her teeth kicked in for this blatant display of irresponsibility." Wayne nodded as he finished adjusting the Mushroom Circle to fit enough vehicles that they will be bringing in to blast the Fairy Kingdom to pieces.
Grandfather moved to enter the tank, "We have about…" the elder moved to look at his wrist watch, "An estimated sixty hours left at most, get a move on!" He snapped at the two, before entering the Tank.
The Mushroom Circle shined and soon enough, there was a massive beam of light that shot up at the sky and it then widened. Soon, the white light subsided and at the side of the light was a realm that was both beautiful and fantastic and yet at the same time, alien and incredibly eldritch by human nature. Even Wayne, who was a dhampir finds the place repulsive as he can sense the feeling of the whole area trying to entice the group to sit down, enjoy the fairy realm and forget about everything else. He's lucky that he had a massive amount of iron on them or else it will be hard to keep the realm's dark influence at bay.
"Numbuh five doesn't feel right looking at that." Abigail muttered as she took a glance at the ray of light before getting into the tank.
"You should trust that instinct, brat." Grandfather warned the girl.
"Do not listen too much to your gut instincts though and always keep your wits up, Abigail. We're entering fairy country here and expect those amoral cretins to try and mess with your senses to make you stay there forever." Wayne frowned as he squashed whatever traitorous thoughts that started to enter his mind, "If your gut instincts start telling you something outside of what you will not do, do not let it fool you. That's fairy trickery at work."
Abigail nodded to Wayne and Grandfather, "Right." She Steeled herself for all the trickery that may come.
