8:10 a.m.

Dimmsdale, California

A.J.'s POV

I got on the bus and started to head for school with Chester....and Trixie. She had sat down next to us, surprising not only Veronica but the rest of the bus as well, even Trixie's bodyguard. Veronica just walked away, sticking her nose up into the air.

I turned to Trixie and told her, "You shouldn't have done that."

Trixie smiled and responded, "I know but I wanted too. I made a vow that everyone would see my true side and that's exactly what they are going to see."

Chester smiled at her and we stopped at Timmy's house. We waited for our leader but Nina came over instead.

We knew that Nina was Nacey's daughter and Neo Cortex's niece. She was probably covering for Timmy, since he was still in Fairy World. Ever since magic entered our lives just twenty-four hours ago, it seemed like our days were more exciting. We know knew an alien, a few magical beings, and fairies! I knew what Timmy went through every day and I thought it was cool, especially when he stood up to Jorgen. Even Nacey stood up to Jorgen. Apparently, she was a lot like him but she wasn't a stickler to the rules. However, she was a force to be feared if you were on her bad side. I liked her better than Jorgen, especially when she defeated Turbo Thunder in one move last night. That's why we all had a note to ourselves to not get on her bad side.

Nina told the bus driver, "Sorry Mr. Dee, but Timmy is going to be late today." Mr. Dee said, "Okay, thanks Nina."

The bus closed up and we drove off as we saw Nina wave goodbye. We waved back. Then, we went past the Dimmsdale dump where Prince Mark Chang lived but there was nothing there....not even a spaceship. I couldn't help but wonder why the spaceship was gone. Chester, Trixie, and I exchanged worried looks.

Chester told us, "Maybe there is something wrong on Yugopotamia."

I asked, "But, the question here is....what?"

Trixie answered, "I think we better go talk to Nina about this."

We got to the school where everyone got off the bus. We pretended to go into the school to throw off suspicion off of ourselves and then headed back to Timmy's house. When we got back we saw Nina being up held by Mark. What in the world? Just then, his mouth opened and out came a porthole...a porthole to the Darkness!

Chester yelled, "It's an Eliminator!"

Trixie responded, "Quick, we've got to save Nina!"

At those words, we ran over to the Mark Eliminator and Nina. 'Hang on, Nina. We're coming.' I thought.

Nina's POV

What a day! Just when I thought the whole Darkness bit was over, Mark came over to me and reported that Yugopotamia was taken over by the Darkness.

I said, "Oh great! I thought that this whole thing was over with! Better let Mom know..."

Mark turned to me, grabbed me, and lifted me up, which was kind of weird.

He said, "But, Timmy is, like, the Chosen One and he must help me fight!" This was extremely weird.

I pointed out, "But, Timmy's not the Chosen One and..." I realized and added, "Wait. Timmy never told you that he was the Chosen One! And you're holding me kind of tight!"

Mark responded, "Because I must...." Just then, his mouth opened and out came a porthole to the Darkness. He finished, "Eliminate the four points of light."
