With Chad
He didn't know why the Fae had left him alone all of a sudden, nor could he think of a reason the Fae were now so adamant on getting every teen to 'safety'. Having just regrouped with Chuckie and Steve at the time, the three opted every offer to safety from the Fae in an effort to rally every Rebellion teen member they could. Whatever was causing the Fae in general to panic, it did not bode well for anyone.
Chad began gathering a sizable number of teens from the Rebellion as he traversed the Fairy forest, his direction he headed towards was where every nearby Fae were rushing off to. He didn't want to be a coward and run, whatever got the Fae in a fearful tizzy meant bad for every teen stuck within the Fairy Realm as well. The Teens Rebellion was not one to hide, and in his eyes, it was best to get a scope of what the trouble was before he decided whether he should retreat with everyone like the rest.
Large swaths of Faerie alike would zoom right Past the battalion of Teens Chad was leading the charge with, the Fae that had no wings rode upon Centaurs and Unicorns around the Teens towards a far off wall where they could hear ear shattering roars. In the air, countless Fae whizzed by on their wings with Faery weaponry in hand.
Chad stifled his growing fear that threatened to creep in his mind, rather than run he wanted to lash out at it. Some Teens would fall back, while a majority would keep running. Whatever was causing the Fae such trouble, it couldn't be good for Earth if whatever it was ever managed to take over Faerie Realm.
Atop Brocelind Wall, first of three
With the Fae so preoccupied with fighting off whatever was on the other side of the wall, Chad took the opportunity to climb up the thick Wall of unknown material he couldn't put a pin on. The majority of the Teens that followed Chad waited at the bottom with baited breath, making idle chatter to pass the time before Chad would return. Once the former Soopreme Leaduh reached the top of the wall with the aid of the stairs built into it, Chad was finally able to see an ongoing battle of grotesque beast-like fae fighting against the Fairies they were more accustomed to.
Chad surveyed the wall and saw it went on as far as the eye could see, he could barely see that it curved, which led him to believe the wall encircled a large portion of the forest he was in. Off in the distance atop the walls, Chad allowed himself a smirk at seeing that many of the others of the Teens Rebellion had the same idea of getting to the bottom of the Faes' behavior.
Stacey and Harold
Harold squinted a bit to see that his eyes were not deceiving him, "Yo Stace, looks like Chad and the others had about the same idea." He mused while looking off into the distance from atop the wall he stood on with Stacey, and a few others. "That mop of hair is definitely Chad's …and I think Steve and Chuckie are with him too." Harold noted with a smirk.
Stacey turned to look after surveying the far off battle between Fae and Daoine Sidhe, "Good, we need to gather up every teen available! Those anthropomorphic beasts don't spell anything good should they invade Earth." She responded back to Harold with a concerned look.
Harold scratched his chin in thought, "What are we gonna do about communications?" He asked with a look of confusion, "Though if these fairy creatures have anything of use, we can start rigging up weaponry and devices with 2x4 technology." Harold suggested.
Stacey placed her palm under her chin to think, "I…suppose if nothing else, then it's time to fall back on our imagination of weapons."
Marianne, Archie, and Bella
Not too far from Chad's location, just opposite of where Stacey's battalion of teens were, another large swathes of Rebellion Teenagers were gathered for the same reason as the others.
With her arms crossed, Bella let an amused look cross her face as she stared out at the incoming waves of Daoine Sidhe. "And here I am without Vlad, whatever will I do?" She chuckled with mirth, while the fairies she had commanded from before were fidgeting in place at attention behind her.
"We have to find a way to leave this place on our own then." the French Rebel said with a slight French accent she held her 2x4 rifle, "Honestly, being disarmed put us in such a disadvantage. These weapons are only good for so long…"
There was a large bang that was heard from afar. The teenagers looked at the direction as to where the booming sound came from. There was a teen who climbed up the tallest tree to see where the sound came from and they saw a silhouette of a massive tank from afar that was sticking out of the treelines.
"There's a tank from afar!" one of the French rebels shouted as he looked down and pointed at North, "Someone must have been left behind and came here to save us, Marianne!"
Bella released a breath of thought, and glanced over at Marianne. "Save us he says…" she mused while glancing back at the incoming horde of Daoine Sidhe.
"To all the teens in this pixie dust covered realm, this is Wayne Stark speaking!" the distant speakers were heard clearly by the people who were there, "Help is here! If you can make flares or anything that can indicate your position, do it now! We've broken into the Brocelind Walls and I'm sending my drones and transports to get you out of there. If you have your CAVE devices on you, use it now and get in touch right away! I'll see what I can do to get to you!"
Bella looked towards Marianne with a smirk, "I'm afraid I don't have mine, Marianne, be a dear would you?" She asked slyly.
Marianne took out her CAVE device and checked to see if she could get in touch with Wayne. The phone was finally working after it shut down earlier and she began to contact the Logistics Officer, hoping that what she heard was real.
"Awright, either a'm seeing hings, or that's a huge fuckall salamander dragon!" Archie squawked from the sidelines, the Scottish teen had been on the lookout for the Two other Teens to survey the incoming waves of Daoine Sidhe. Archie could just barely make out the outlines of the incoming Salamander Wyrm, "Th' facker's head'n right for th' wall!" He shouted in realization.
Bella's attention was brought to where the Scottish teen was pointing over to, "...I don't recall dragons as part of Faerie mythology." She remarked in befuddlement.
Archie squawked in surprise when the Dragon like creature finally came into view, "Th' bloody t'ing is all covered up in that silhouette shite!"
Just before Bella was about to call for everyone to scatter away from the wall the Salamander Wyrm was going to ram into, the Draconic creature leapt over the wall with the assistant of its wings. With an earth shattering quake, the Salamander Wyrm landed back down and continued to rampage further inward of the wall.
"...Ya t'ink that was Will?" Archie asked after the silence between everyone was too much for him.
Bella blinked in disbelief, "Who else would it be?" She mused as everyone got back up from ducking down.
Archie amusedly looked towards Bella, "Oi, what's th' call Luv?" He snarked with a smirk.
"First, never address me by that again." Bella sharply snapped at Archie, "Second, we should rendezvous with Mister Stark." She added.
Bella looked pointedly over at the other groups of Teens in the distance, "There's more than enough of your Rebellion manning this wall, we however need to head after Mister Stark." She remarked to the other teens with a look of contemplation.
"Oh thank god you're here, Wayne! Can you send us your robots in our direction?" Marianne is relieved as she was now able to get in contact with the Logistics Officer, "Okay, we'll hold for now but please send those reinforcements, yeah?"
Elsewhere
The fairies were running away.
They never thought that their day would be normal in their own terms but the ground rumbled and the scent of iron became prevalent. The fairies thought that it was a mere illusion but soon, they saw one of the fairies, haggard and clearly afraid, was running towards one settlement after another, announcing that there was a massive fleet of machines heading in their direction. The runner was not believed at first and thought that it was a bluff… then they saw pillars of smoke rising in many directions and the scent of burning wood started to become prevalent.
Then they heard the roars of both machines and beast, then the appearance of a fleet of automated cars, robots and drones, marching and riding towards the direction of the fairy realm's capital as it razed everything that got in its way and destroyed the fairy resistance that tried to get in its way.
Then they heard the voice of Grandfather, announcing the return of the being that they feared greatly and heard news of the worst of the fairies being unleashed. The fairies panicked and ran as far as possible in all directions.
With Wayne, Abigail and Grandfather
Having finished yelling out into the mic and sowing fear into the Fae once more, The elderly Uno sat back a bit to relax his mind. Grandfather's eyes narrowed when he felt a prick in his mind, before allowing himself a wicked grin. Balthazar sat straight up to stare off what he was feeling, his yellow beady eyes glinted in delight.
"Oh dear…" Grandfather cackled in amusement, "And Here I thought I wouldn't be around to see the day!" The elder Uno relished the very moment he was living in, it was finally happening. The air began to feel cold to the others as Grandfather stood up in the moving tank, "William my boy, you better not disappoint your old man!" His cackle exploded into an evil laugh.
Abigail grew worried, and a tad scared before grabbing the amulet Wayne had given her. "Um…" she gulped back her fear of the old Villain, "What's going on that Numbuh five don't know?" She cautiously asked Grandfather.
Balthazar's laughter began to calm down, before finally releasing a calm breath. Grandfather eventually glanced over at Abigail with a menacing grin, "My grandson is finally tasting true power!" He exclaimed in wickness, "The cycle is now complete, and my revenge will come to fruition!" Grandfather declared with relishing joy.
Wayne was frowning at the sudden surge of power that came from William. While he is a capable man, the powers of the Uno Family tend to be fed by an extreme passion/emotion that they would end up focusing on. The power that William was showing here was fueled with something that he was familiar with whenever Father turns into his silhouette: Hatred and Rage. He hoped that nothing bad truly happened that caused this sudden spike of power.
The Super Tank's cannons roared and the walls in front finally gave in. The Outer Walls have fallen and its defenders had fled as the fleet of vehicles entered and the robotic legions swept up those that did not run while the Super Tank moved in to get to the second wall.
"I just hope that whatever made William use that kind of power, it better not do something really stupid to get William this mad." Wayne grimly said as he looked at the radar with humans pinging on it, "Okay, there's people here."
Wayne grabbed the microphone with his one hand as he steered the tank with the other and started to speak.
"Attention, all teenagers! This is Wayne Stark of the Teen's Rebellion group. We've arrived to get you all out of here before the time is up and all of you get trapped in this place forever." Wayne spoke once more as he and the tank bombarded the Brocelind Walls' broken remains to take out the defenders who were making their last stand there.
The rain of iron dust, potatoes, spice beams and broccoli was intense as the fairies tried to dodge whatever was being fired upon them. The iron dust was the most difficult to dodge as they found out in horror that it cannot be magically blown away and whenever it lands on a fairy, it depowers them instead. Once depowered, it made them vulnerable to the incoming fire from the plethora of weapons that Wayne brought in for the occasion.
The potato missiles exploded and showered the fairies with hot mashed potatoes and potato bits. It was hard to remove and also made flying difficult as once it catches their wings, they'll be forced to the ground by it. The spice blasts were something that they despised as it was not sweet at all. They do not like the hot flavors that they're forced to experience and in some cases, it shrivels up some of the fairies due to the overwhelming disgust they have when blasted by a wassabi beam or a fish paste laser cannon.
The broccoli bullets, though, were just as bad as the spice blasters since the fairies' childish tastes made them feel repulsed by the broccoli itself. The vegetable that was now being endorsed by an outer god was something that they could not accept. It was a vile vegetable that many humans do not like. Even the fae in general felt like they were being torn from the inside whenever they were exposed to the said vegetable.
The weapons that the initial defense had did nothing to the armored vehicles that marched past their positions aside from showing the driver that they were still able to resist and had to be stopped from resisting further. The robots were making sure that the path of Wayne was clear as they marched to the palace.
He sent a good portion of his flyers to Marianne's location to save the beleaguered teens who were now fighting the Daoine Sidhe.
He shuddered to think as to who in the right mind would unleash those beasts as they were the worst of the worst among the fae and their imprisonment would have been better for everyone else. He can only think of one fairy who would do this thing and he really hoped that he trampled that idiot on the treads of his tank so that he can check on the remains of the parasite.
If not, even better as he gets the opportunity to shoot that one fairy with a lot of his cannons.
"I really hope that all of this was done by Oberon." Wayne grumbled audibly as he and his fleet marches to the castle, "That fairy has to be the one responsible for this mess."
It can be said Fae love interacting with humans, but their habits and feelings tend to not align with human morality and ethics more often than not. You could almost say the Fae see humans as excellent 'playmates', and 'playthings', they didn't grow bored of humans and neither did they want to 'break' them in a manner of speaking. In a warped sense of logic, they were pretty much like children that adored their toys.
However, just like children, the Fae didn't like to share their 'toys' or even see them get broken by others. In all the millennia of Fairy Realm, The Majority of Fae held an unbridled animosity towards the Daoine Sidhe. The Daoine Sidhe enjoyed taking and breaking, to feed and spread negativity amongst the rest, spread violence and anarchy to satisfy their bloodlust for anger and war.
It was bad enough the Fae had a bad reputation amongst the other realms, they took exception when the Daoine Sidhe were the extremist of their worst.
The Fae knew the barriers holding back the worst of their kind wouldn't last forever, they just never thought it would happen so soon.
With the utmost urgency they could afford, every Fae tried taking the Teens to safety when they saw the Daoine Sidhe charging through the forest of Fae.
The ones that were still coherent didn't trust the annoying pests, but saw the rather dangerous look the Daoine Sidhe had as the creatures rampaged throughout the realm.
However, those of the Rebellion who had grown to lash out at their fear, to build and counterattack whatever threatened them stayed to fight off the existential threat. This time however, the stakes were higher, and they unfortunately had to resort back to knd 2x4 technology with none of their Rebellion weaponry on hand.
Duct tape, glue, chewing gum, and a mishmash of whatever they could get their hands on. If the Fae could easily traverse to Earth, there was no telling the amount of Havok the Daoine Sidhe would wrought upon the Earth.
With begrudging reluctance and the mentality of the enemy of my enemy, but still never trusting the fae, the Teens of the Rebellion that were still coherent took to arms and manned the outer walls in the direction the Daoine Sidhe charged at. They swallowed back the fear they felt, knowing the dangerous looking fae could not be allowed to find a way to Earth.
Brocelind Wall
The sounds of duct tape unwrapping could be heard throughout the area, clanks of metal bars from fairy jungle gyms, exhales of breaths into bubble gum bubbles, it was a cacophony of teen engineering with knd 2x4 technology.
Given enough time, a modest form of artillery weapons and autoguns began to be assembled across the wall. Used drums of maple syrup were retrofitted into mortar cannons, and would use extremely adhesive sticky gum balls that would splatter upon impact. Using the steel bars of the childish jungle gyms the Fae tend to use to play with children, the teens began using the bars to make handle crank Gatling guns equipped with superheated maple syrup they took out from the barrels they had retrofitted.
Along the walls were large cauldrons of scalding chicken soup, should the Daoine Sidhe begin scaling the wall the Teens would begin pouring the scalding fluid down onto the fearsome and Vile Fae.
Stacey was urgently working on a five barrelled, jury-rigged musket out of the jungle gym bars. She may not have her paintball guns, but a little imagination goes a long way in making a decent firearm out of scrap.
Wiping the sweat off his brow, Harold continued with helping out in cutting up the jungle gym bars. This was the one time he never thought his pocket torch would come in handy so much, and the sentiment was shared among the Mech Boys who managed to make it to the walls.
Chad's battalion of teens were just as hard at work, managing to work with what they could get on hand. With the Fae taking the front in fighting off the Daoine Sidhe as best they could, the teens opted to bombard the vilest of Fae from a distance. Most of the anthropomorphic Fae already looked dangerous as is, and they had none of their Rebellion weaponry and artillery. Chad wasn't sure if the Salamander Wyrm was William or not, but for now his attention was on leading the defensive line against the incoming Daoine Sidhe.
Not a single Teen knew what to expect with The Hideous and vile looking Fae, what they were capable of, or how resilient they were.
What they did know was not to trust the Fae, but most importantly they could tell the Daoine Sidhe were not to be trifled with.
Chad, like many others, had heard Wayne's loudspeaker, but the flight or fight instinct many teens began to feel towards the Daoine Sidhe were edging into fight instinct. To lash out at the fear incarnate, none of them liked to fear again like they used to as children. When all else fails if their artillery doesn't stop the vile Fae, retreat is just another word for a strategic maneuver of moving elsewhere.
With the adults
The sounds of loud cracks of rifle rounds going off and electrical whips cracking through the air could be heard.
Ingrid had a distasteful frown cross her face as she fired shock rounds into the behinds of fae, her bullets curving through the air with the aid of her Vampiric abilities. "Such childish creatures." Ingrid spat while moving onward with the others as they marched onward, slotting in another round into her rifle as she spotted the palace tree not far off in the distance.
Julius and Mariska on the other hand, had been forced to disembark after one of the fairies destroyed the car that they were using to chase after Wayne's fleet of war vehicles that was making a massive trail of destroyed fairy lands, fortifications and downed golems. They were now going after the Super Tank on foot while fighting off fairies and occasional enthralled teens who joined in to defend and assist their fairy captors.
Ingrid and Sven made quick work of dispatching the nuisances that were the fae, while making sure to be a tad easier on the enthralled teens. There was also the loudest and obnoxious sound that can be heard from afar that faintly resembles the La Cucaracha that caused the thralls to come back to their senses for a bit or be slowed down by the sound. This was taken advantage by the ones who were following behind the trail of destruction.
A prick On Ingrid's and Sven's senses had them pause, "Surely he isn't here?" Sven asked in bewilderment as he turned His head towards the trail of the tanks' destruction.
"It'z coming In zhe direction of zhat obnoxious music." Ingrid remarked in slight worry.
"It's him…" Julius muttered as he stopped restrained an enthralled teen with one hand.
"Wayne, why did you get involved in this and with that person as well, my son…" Mariska tutted as she realized who was the other presence that came with Wayne.
Ingrid scratched her cheek while nervously chuckling, "Didn't he raze zhis place once?" she asked.
"Yes and it was the happiest day of my life as well." Mrs. Stark smiled serenely at the memory of the fairy kingdom being razed before.
Sven had a quirk of Smile grace His face, "I almost feel bad for the fae now." He mused.
"Don't. Faie delenda est." Julius said in Latin as he whipped a swarm of small fairies flocking at his direction and caused them to disperse.
Ingrid and Sven resumed their attack into the fairy realm with the Starks, their path clear of where to go with a wake of destruction caused by Wayne's tank. Enthralled teens were either lying unconscious on the ground or restrained and put aside by the attacking adults.
Julius, despite his retirement, was still a formidable enemy against the supernatural. His whip still found its way to the enemy that got in his way. Nothing can surprise him or blindside him as he was able to react on time to prevent being grappled by the fairies or his wife is watching his back. If his whip and fist were not enough, they would be hit by stun bombs, bolas, nets and cross boomerangs. He did not have his timepiece as it was too dangerous to use it as he reached a certain age where it can badly affect his health but the man was more than capable of defending himself against fairies and their enthralled teens.
Mariska on the other hand, used magic and her spank vampire powers to help. When she was not throwing fireballs, bat familiars and other teens and fairies with the help of her magical powers, she would use her monstrous strength and agility to fight those that came too close to her, surprising the fairies that thought that she was not strong due to how the thought that she was too reliant on magic. If she missed someone, her husband would come in to fill up the gap instead.
The sound of cannons thundered along with buildings being crushed and destroyed. There were also the sound of gunfire, dying magical constructs and fairies screaming in fear as the vehicle got closer to the second line of fortifications. The Super Tank that the group was following had broken through the first line of fortifications and the fairies were now trying to stop the attack. They never thought that someone in their family would be the one doing what Grandfather had done in the past when he went into the Fairy Realm to put fear into fairies but one thing is for certain.
Someone will be the second most feared name after this.
Julius hoped that Wayne will not be feared but the way he went around with this situation made him think otherwise. His dhampir son will be feared anyway from the amount of iron dust scattered all over the trail of destruction he left behind.
