Nyvenne shuddered. King Altador and Queen Kalara were inside the palace. She whispered this to the Black Dandan. Calphurnia squealed, but nevertheless, she shot a spark of light at the Mynci. It wasn't her strongest magic, but it was only meant to knock him over and scare him away. Sakura shuddered as well.

"I'll go warn them!" Black Dandan nodded and threw her tiny boomerangs, distracting the thieves to let her pass. "Mauket, stay with the faeries!"
"BUT I DON'T HAVE AN UTILITY BELT! Ah, nevermind...she's gone." Mauket sighed and grabbed the grappling hook. "BACK OFF, THIEVES!
The red xweetok managed to reach the palace's main hall, the storm outside made her feel as if she was in a horror movie! The Black Dandan froze, she heard foot steps...someone was in the room!
"W-who's there?" She called, the stranger looked like a...maraquan ixi?

Fortunately, even though they were a few miles away, Zefyra could see the fight in the palace in her mind. "Sirocco! We have to head back to the palace now!" She grabbed Sirocco's hand and warped him to the palace, much to his surprise.
"What the he-?! Great. Looks like some of my old friends form the Thieves Guild are here." Sirocco drew his khopesh, and leapt into battle with a smirk. "So, Valin? What's Galem's new plan now?"
Meanwhile, Fang was scattering the wraiths with gestures of his scythe. They seemed to know its power, and feared it. "Judging by the coordinates on this map - and my impeccable sense of direction," Fang smirked at the Faeries smugly. "We're in the part of the Dark Realm where megalomaniacs, tyrants, and wannabe gods are imprisoned. Oooooh, this should be good."
Suddenly, a massive flame rose from behind Fang, and a figure marched forth from it. "FANG! IT HAS BEEN A WHILE, FOOLISH STREET PERFORMER! BOW BEFORE RAZUL!"

Repleka's eyes narrowed. She did not like Razul. He'd stolen one of her sparky mirrors long ago.
"He's not the only one here," she snarled as she shot vines of purple magic at him. "What made you think you could steal from a powerful Faerie like myself?! I have no idea how Xandra got ahold of one...probably Katriana's doing...but you have no excuse, you little thief! That's what you are to me! A pesky Petpetpet who's close to getting swatted!"

"You do not realize, puny Faerie... I am a GOD!" Razul incinerated the vines with a single burst of flame, and summoned a legion of fiery demons that attacked the heroes!
"Xandra, you don't understand. Umbryx is not a Faerie, she's far more powerful! If we can't save Miraja from her control..." Zarkos' expression changed from his usual grumpy scowl to a genuinely sad frown. "I'm afraid it might be our only choice."
Hunter grunted, and turned to the others. "If you all don't hurry up, we'll never stop Umbryx."

Xandra kept quiet. So did Caylin, who kept to herself the fact that she wasn't going to let anyone harm Miraja. She already had a plan...and she didn't say, for fear that her companions might force her not to come along. She hung her head sadly, but not for the reason that Zarkos would probably think...she supposed that Saeryennan could track down Queen Miarra, or Xandra...
Repleka shot blasts of dark water at the imps. "You are no god," she said. "You're just a foolish little Kyrri hiding behind fire."

"Good to see you, Sirocco!" Valin laughed. "We weren't expecting to see you so soon, Galem will be pleased! He can't wait to cut your head off!" the mynci dodged the khopesh, but just then he saw Nyvenne.
The mynci ran to the faerie's direction and used his rope to hold her. "Don't even try fighting or else I'll cut your neck, got it?! Galem has plans for you and your prophecies!" Valin warned her, pointing his dagger close to her face so she could see it.
"HEY! Let her go now, you dirty mynci!" Mauket warned, waving the grappling hook, but a strong bruce grabbed her from behind!
"I GOT THE FAERIE, BOYS! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Valin yelled.
While this the Black Dandan ran towards the royal bed room, she could have sworn she saw a neopet at the hall, but she had to reach the king and queen first!
"Queen kalara, King Altador! You must escape NOW!" the xweetok knocked on the door furiously, trying to make as much noise as she could to wake them up!

Gripping the edge of a table she probably wasn't supposed to grip, Ani paused and surveyed the hall. This place was new to her. She only ever came through to carry laundry from one place to another in a frenzied manner. So confusing, this walk...
"Wh-who's there?"
What was that?
This time, no pantheon of strategies ran through her head. Instead, she swiftly concluded that there was an intruder and she'd best combat it by testing it. She thought up a list of questions and, sliding quietly across the floor, cleared her head to assume the role of "wise big sister". Cocking her head to the side and folding her arms in the dim amber light, she smiled. At the same time, she wondered if the lights would make her look intimidating or lead the Neopet to label her a magician. That would be sad.
Unfortunately for her, the Neopet then dashed away. So much for that.

Calphurnia tried to fire a spark at Valin, but all her power had been depleted for the time being after those two huge attacks on Oblivion and Lord Kass. She just squealed again.
King Altador opened the door, with his queen's arm around his waist.
"What's going on?" he asked the little Neopet.

"Pathetic Faerie! Insult me again, and I will rip your wings off, piece by piece, scale by scale." Razul sent a massive wave of fire at Repleka, and laughed evilly. "ALL WILL BOW BEFORE MY MIGHT!"
"This is almost like the time I fought you in the Sakhmet bazaar! Only with more irritating faeries." Fang nimbly dodged the flames, and sliced his scythe through the air, sending a dark vortex hurtling towards the fiery god. "Heads up!"
Razul was struck by the vortex, which weakened his flames! Even so, his skeleton still stood taller than anyone there. "You will KNEEL TO MY SPLENDOROUS POWER!" Razul then sent a massive thunderbolt towards Repleka, and it struck her!
Sirocco backhanded a thug who tried to sneak up behind him before blocking a dagger with his khopesh. "Geez, Valin. You've kind of let yourself go! You aren't nearly as fast as you used to be." Sirocco leapt up to the top of a pillar, and then scattered some of the Sands of Time from a pouch on his belt, and slowed down his foes before mowing them down by dashing past them with his khopesh. "You just can't catch up, Valin. And I doubt Galem will, either."

"Oh yeah? Watch me, larnikin! Galem is stronger now, he has magic!" Valin pulled from his pocket a small gem, the tiny rock began glowing darkly, teleporting the mynci and Nyvenne to the catacombs!
"And you're gonna stay right there, this cage won't let you do any tricks!" Valin laughed as he locked up Nyvenne. "Listen up, lady! My master has plans for you, you will obey, got it? Or else the guild will be forced to invite Princess Saeryennan to join you!" he threatened, pointing his dagger at the faerie.
Back at the palace, the Black Dandan explained what was happening to the King!

Nyvenne sighed. Of course, she did have a few tricks up her sleeve...the nice thing about prophecy was - you could always lie about what you saw. Or, she could leave out the important stuff. This way, she'd protect Neopia and her princess.
"Kalara, get out!" King Altador commanded. "I'll stop these...thieves!"
"But - "
"Go, Kalara! Before they find you!"
The queen had no choice. She quickly went into a secret passage that would lead to the Hall of Heroes.
While Altador was rushing to Saeryennan's room, he accidentally crashed into a Maraquan Ixi in the hall, knocking them both over.
"Pardon me, miss," he said, rubbing his head.
Repleka summoned a dark shield, but it did nothing against those flames and she was forced to leap away, singeing the tip of her right wing.
"Ah!" she screamed, falling to the ground in pain and clutching her wing. This pest was awfully powerful...

"Typical Faerie. You were a fool to underestimate me because of my species. We Neopians are capable of much greater tasks than any one Faerie." Razul loomed over Repleka, and readied a bolt of lightning to finish the Faerie off... When suddenly, a shadow beast sliced at him, cutting off his arm! "What is this IMPUDENCE?!"
"YOU'VE BEEN HIT BY! YOU'VE BEEN STRUCK BY! A SMOOTH CRIMINAL!" Fang struck a pose as his shadow returned to its place beneath him. "I sent you here before, and now I'm gonna make sure you STAY here!" Fang cackled, as he swung his scythe and vanished, before appearing behind the burning demon and swinging his scythe again!
"Was that... VALIN?!" Zefyra fumed, as the little imp had stolen her REAL weapon, a crozier, quite a while ago. "When I see him, I'll make him pay!" (A crozier is the shepherd's crook-like staff bishops in the medieval Catholic Church used. The end of a crozier is often shaped like a question mark.)

Repleka's brush with peril had actually made her change her bland expression - which was very unusual for her. She was now looking at the Hissi with gratitude. She never thought that such a loony would save her life. She crawled over to him, still clutching her wing.
"Thank you," she whispered.

"Don't mention it. No, really. Don't mention it. Ever." Fang smirked as he and his shadow circled around the burning god, and they crafted a vortex that trapped Razul!
"No! I won't allow this to happen again!" Razul roared, and a tornado of fire swirled up around him, sending Fang hurtling into a wall! However, Razul could not escape the vortex as shadow hands began to grab at him, dragging him to a place even he could not escape... The Planes of Madness.
