Astro and Wonderman: (The Adventures of Team Pixie) Book 9: The Book of Secrets

Almost the end of the team Pixie story

Previously on Astro and Wonderman:

"Those fools finally figured out the secret to life. Now I can finally be me" I laughed then.

"Huh? Hey are you okay Plete?" Star questioned.

"Heh. I'm not Plete anymore. You may call me Shadow" He laughed.

After that I was brought back to earth for one second. Next I found myself on my knees, with my hands on my head, fighting off something. It was just like the vision I just saw.

"Plete! Are you okay!!" Star asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now:

(Star's point of view)

"I'm better than okay. I've been stuck in the realm of time itself for a really long time you know. And now that I'm finally free I'm going to make sure I stay that way" Shadow spoke.

"What! No! Give Plete back to us!" I shouted.

"Never!!!" Shadow hissed. Suddenly wind blew us outside the door and the house transported somewhere else.

"No!!!!!!" I yelled. Aaron finally got up from off the ground and comforted me as I cried.

"He took him right before my eyes and I didn't do anything. Why!" I sobbed as Punched Aarons chest.

Aaron hadn't really been affected though.

"We should just go home" Aaron voiced.

"What! There's no way I'm going home! What about our family name. It would be brought down if we gave up now!" I told him angrily.

"Your more important to me than some damn family name" Aaron stated determined.

"I'm perfectly able to take care of myself! Stop treating me like a child, Aaron!" I yelled at him.

"I'm saying you need to be careful. I realize your a powerful wizard but you have to look out for you well being. For that some sacrifices are sad but they must be made" Aaron explained.

"So we should just completely abandon Plete? Is that really what your suggesting right now?!" I replied back.

"This kind of attitude is exactly why mom isn't here today! She got herself killed by trying to save Andrew! I'm just trying to protect you!" Aaron yelled back.

"Yeah well maybe I don't wanna be protected anymore. Mom may have gotten herself killed by her attitude but at least she didn't feel trapped by all these different rules" I glared at him.
That hit him where I was aiming for it to and so he took a deep breath.

"I think I know a way we can save him. First things first we need a time wizard or fairy and lucky for us we know one" Aaron voiced.

So we went back to the Dragonchild missionary.

"Hey, Lulu. Can we talk to you for a second?" I asked her.

"Yeah sure. Just let me finish up something right quick" Lulu smiled.

Soon she walked towards us wondering what this was all about.

"One of Astro's children is being ruled by a demon and we need your help to separate the demon and Plete into two bodies" I told her.

"Okay. I'll see what I can do" Rose told me.

"Thank god" I smiled back.

So we waited while she made the things necessary for it. However, it took longer than expected.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Lulu's point of view)

I was a woman who appeared to be in my 60's. For me that was a good thing since I was about sixty years old.

We were in a snowy field and I had been walking forward to get something to Astro rebelling against Starlight. Starlight was filled with grief and was far more overprotective than she needed to he after Caleb had passed away.

It was there that I saw him.

"You know I hear the woods is a very dangerous place to be at times" Shadow spoke.

"You won't hurt me. I'm okay. Your stuck in this trance of indecision as you decide to keep me here or kill me. I know I interest you a bit now and so your conflicted by your very own feelings" I stated.

"Time magic?" He asked.

I nodded.

"I'm very good at it as well" I admitted.

"Hm.....well I'm not gonna lie. You got me down to the t just now" He smiled.

I shyly smiled back. "I really should get going. Astro needs a cure for Plete" I stated then.

"Plete....." the man asked.

"Yes. Why do you look so worried all of a sudden?" I asked.

He looked at me with a bit of great longing then. "Isn't there some way you can break this curse Darkness placed on me. She made me possess Plete. I had no say in the matter. I'm trapped in this body unless someone frees me" he protested.

"There is one way. I could make a body just for you. For that I'll need a super rare potion" I told him.

So I got to work on the potion and once I was finished he hung around me a lot. I was fine with it and I noticed he didn't have as much of a evil aura about him.

Suddenly before I knew it as time passed and we got closer he was down on one knee.

"Will you marry me?" He questioned.

Tears came to my eyes and I simply voiced "Yes!!!"

I hugged him and then the vision ended there. Once I had that vision I was fully motivated to make this potion. He was cured yet again but the very binds of time that kept him trapped for so long and I felt it was my duty to free him. He obviously loved me in the past which meant maybe I could save him both from being trapped in another body and from himself. I just hoped I wouldn't be too late in my mission.

"Don't worry. Everything will be just fine" I talked to him but knowing he couldn't hear me.

"Is the potion almost done?" Star asked worriedly.

"Yes. It just needs a few more touches. Sorry I just got out of some sort of vision of my past" I told her.

So the journey to save Shadow from Plete and Star and Plete began.
