"Where'd Crusher go?!" Starla questioned as they looked around, the sun already starting to set from the horizon.

"He couldn't have gone too far, right?" Darington gulped, glancing around for any sign of the dark blue truck. "I mean, he doesn't know the way back to that magical portal tree, right?"

"He might not, but by studying his magic, he did not need to," Queen Zilina spoke with a sigh.

"Wait, Crusher can teleport too?!" Zeg's jaw dropped. "Crusher very powerful!"

"If he's going back to Axle City, we have to make sure that he doesn't show himself too much," Blaze told them.

"Blaze is right," Flame nodded. "There are monster machines that believe in their conspiracies about fairies either being cruel or being too friendly. Who knows what will happen when someone spots him and Pickle with their wings?"

"We'll catch up to them and make sure that no one else sees us," AJ promised.

"Then go, and hurry," Phoenix urged them.

Blaze nodded, and he and AJ turned to lead their team off. They all fluttered their wings and flew into the twilight sky.

Unbeknownst to them, Nina had been following the group to the palace and was using a cloaking spell to spy on them and her sister.

She herself couldn't believe that the dark blue truck was her son. She had believed that her son was gone since... since her husband's own death. It couldn't be possible that her son was alive...

That was, until her sister did the test and even admitted her knowledge of it.

It made her bitter, cold, enraged even that the truth had been kept from her for so, so long.

And when Crusher said something about his 'Grammy'? It made Nina even angrier knowing that her own mother played a part in their little scheme.

With a growl and a huff, she flew off to follow the group into the mortal world.

Diana felt the wind shift the moment she set tire in Axle City. She should have known that there was going to be something waiting for her as she searched the city for her beloved grandson.

But what she saw was beyond her expectation.

She was at the park when there was a flash of light, and she looked up to see Crusher fluttering down to her with his angel-like fairy wings, with Pickle following after with his own fairy wings.

"Oh my..." Diana blinked as the duo landed in front of her. "Pickle? Crushy? Is that you two under there?"

"Hi, Grammy!" Pickle greeted, a little nervous as Crusher's magic from his rage never ceased. "Um, Crusher's actually here to ask you something! Uh, g-go ahead, Crush!"

"Grammy, is it true?" the dark blue truck questioned, each of them knowing that he was seconds to losing it. "Is my mother alive? Is she... Is she a fairy? Am I fairy? Is it true that my mother is... the evil fairy Nina?"

Diana looked taken back, eyes wide in horror and shock. Crusher studied his grandmother's reaction with narrowed eyes.

"How... How did you find out?"

The question seemed to blow both trucks off as Pickle's jaw dropped, and Crusher's magic intensified in his rage.

"HOW LONG WERE YOU PLANNING TO KEEP THAT FROM ME?!" the dark blue truck snarled, a tone that Diana barely recognized after years of raising him in serenity and happiness. "YOU TOLD ME THAT MY PARENTS WERE GONE! HOW COULD YOU LIE TO ME LIKE THIS?!"
