Meanwhile, on Neverland Island

Neverland, a magical place and homeland to the fairies of Pixie Hollow. This was where they all lived and where each of the season fairies returned to when their part in the work on the Mainland was over. Filled with lush greenery, trees and with a never ending blue sky, it was an amazing place. The mood here was also amazing as well as it never seemed to be sad or angry, it just always remained happy.

However, that had changed. For the first time in centuries, the mood on Pixie Hollow had turned into confusion and worry. When the fairies had left to begin work on summer on the Mainland, they believed it would be another happy time, but now, all of a sudden, they were returning en masse, having been called back by Queen Clarion, the queen of the fairies and of Pixie Hollow. Though they expected her to know fully what was going on, even she was confused. All she had heard from the first groups was that large rocks had crashed nearby and when the Humans, along with some fairies who had hidden in any nearby bushes or trees, had gone to investigate, they were turned to fire and large machine controlled by creatures they had never seen before were rising up from these enormous rocks and attacking Human settlements and destroying the nature and everything the fairies had worked on. So far, none had been killed and when Queen Clarion had heard of this news, she had sent out messengers to tell all of the fairies to return immediately to Neverland.

In the Pixie Hall gathering chamber, a large spherical structure made out of a kind of glowing golden metal with a mushroom as a kind of platform placed about half-way above the floor on the wall opposite the main entrance and the whole place being lit up firefly lights along the walls, a large number of fairies had gathered. Most of them had returned from the fairy camps on the Mainland and the room was filled with talking and chatting amongst them as they told each other what was going on.

"We only just escaped from one of these giant monster things!" a male fairy with black hair and green eyes said.

"I've heard that the Humans are being driven back everywhere," a girl fairy with short red hair and blue eyes told her friends.

"What are these things?"

"Could they be something from Neverland?"

"No, they can't be, I've never seen anything like them before and I've been across much of the island,"

"Attention, everyone," a well-known voice erupted from the entrance to the hall and everyone in the hall looked to see their queen enter the hall.

She was a tall fairy with dirty blonde hair tied in a kind of bun at the top of her head with blue eyes and was deemed by many to be a very beautiful fairy. She was wearing her gold dress and behind her trailed a pair of huge wings, the largest so far seen in Pixie Hollow, or even Neverland. On her head was a crown to signify her position as queen. She was a kind and approachable fairy and very forgiving, but she could be firm when she had to be. However, now she was facing a great crisis. With the Mainland at war with creatures never before seen by the fairies or even the Humans, and the destruction brought by them threatening everything the fairies had worked on, she had to bring everyone back to Pixie Hollow for where they would be safe.

As soon as she entered, the hall went quiet as if someone had turned off the sound and queen Clarion hovered up to the platform and turned to face the audience below her.

"Fairies of Pixie Hollow," she said. "As you know, I have called you all back from the Mainland in perhaps the greatest crisis facing the Mainland and everything we have worked on. These creatures that have landed across the Mainland have been destroying and murdering the Humans and their homes at will," several gasps came from the audience below, mainly from those who had not gone to the Mainland. "We have been particularly lucky not to have suffered any deaths or major injuries, but I fear this will come at the consequence that this summer will be the very last time any of us can go to the Mainland to bring about the seasons,"

Upon finishing the last sentence, muttering broke out among the audience again. What! This…this could be the last time they would go to the Mainland! It was a horrible thought to the fairies. They had been doing this work ever since the first days of them being on Neverland and now, all of a sudden, they were going to have to abandon it! It was terrible, very terrible.

Queen Clarion felt the same way as the fairies below her. Ever since she had been made queen centuries ago, she had always felt it her duty to make sure the community of Pixie Hollow was ready for the seasons on the Mainland and up until now, it had been going fine. But…but now…now she and the fairies and the Humans were facing a crisis that they had never ever expected. The Humans were at war with another species, though the fairies did not know where it came from, that was destroying the nature and the Human population on the Mainland, and what scared queen Clarion and everyone else in Pixie Hollow was the question; would they be able to return when it was over? Even though she kept asking herself that question, she came up with the same answer every time. No, it would not be. These things had destroyed much of nature already on the Mainland and it was unlikely they were going to allow anything like the fairies to come back and rebuild it. They would probably end up being destroyed as well. It was just too dangerous to send anyone back right now, and it would be too dangerous to send anyone back ever again.

Down in the audience, another fairy entered the hall, a worried look on her face. She was a short plump fairy with brown hair, amber eyes and was wearing a green coloured dress. Her name was Fairy Mary. She was head of the tinker fairies and was strict in her role in Pixie Hollow. However, when she had heard of what was happening on the Mainland, she became worried for everyone to return safely. So far everyone had, apart from…

"Excuse me?" she asked a male fairy with blonde hair and brown eyes. "Have you seen Tinkerbell or any of her friends?" she asked.

"No, Fairy Mary, sorry," he replied.

"Oh!" she moaned worryingly and flew over to another fairy she knew had been on Tinkerbell and her friends' group sent to the Mainland.

"Excuse me, do you know where Tinkerbell or her friends are?" she asked the fairy hopefully.

He shook his head. "No, sorry, Fairy Mary,"

"Fairy Mary?" a voice from above asked and everyone in the audience turned to look at her. Fairy Mary looked up and saw queen Clarion hovering down towards her. "What is it?" she asked the head of the tinker fairies.

"It's Tinkerbell and her friends, queen Clarion," she replied. "I haven't seen them. I've asked two people who were part of their fairy camp group and they say they haven't seen her or Silvermist or Iridessa or Fawn or Terence or anyone,"

Murmuring broke out in the hall once again and no doubt there were some suggesting the worst case scenario for the group.

"Could anyone who last saw Tinkerbell and/or her friends please stand up," queen Clarion ordered.

Four fairies stood up, three women and one man.

"We saw them over at the Human's house last time I saw them," one of the girl fairies said. "The storm came in and afterwards we were told to leave, but we thought they had returned,"

"Did anyone tell you that they had returned from visiting the Human's house?" queen Clarion asked them.

"No, we just thought they had," the man fairy replied.

"And Vidia's with them," another of the girl fairies piped up. "We saw Tinkerbell and the Human girl take her in when she got caught out in the storm,"

"And you definitely did not see them on the doves back here?" queen Clarion asked them again, just to make sure.

"Definitely," the man fairy said.

"So if they're not here," Fairy Mary said. "Then …" she trailed off, her mind coming to the worse possible scenario. Queen Clarion's mind and everyone else's was also coming to the same result as Fairy Mary.

Tinkerbell and her friends were on the Mainland.
