You guys might be wondering why last episode’s title had the word ‘fight’ in it. Here’s the reason: Red Eagle confronted her past in the most terrible moment of her life aka the near-death of her sister. Therefore, she fought the worst creature ever: pain. Oh well, let’s get on with the episode! And the last spooky special.
Orange Lioness: I think we’re here!
The UDA armored truck pulled over. The Manka Crew stepped out of the truck, happily inhaling fresh air. Their momentary happiness, however, did not last long, for this would be the last time they would see Cryptids Island. Their parents had explained along the way: it would be impossible to live there as long as Dr. Hare and E. Vile were on the loose. Their emotions were once again altered, seeing the blimp houses made their jaws drop.
Crazy Leopard: Those things are gigantic.
White Spider: Actually, our driver just told me that those are the smallest of the fleet, the largest ones have already been launched.
Orange Lioness: Well, this thing can hold one of our families, big or small, and hold their whole luggage to boot.
Red Eagle: That’s very informative. *examines the rope* This rope is extremely durable, it’s the kind of rope Leanne loved to walk on.
Calm Tiger: You never told us she did that. Let’s climb up and see what it’s like!
They climbed up to Red Eagle’s blimp and had a bit of fun on the tower.
Orange Lioness: Our range of sight on this tower is approximately—
Crazy Leopard: Carol, if you keep talking like that, I’m going to start calling you ‘Caddie’ again. And call you ‘Techie’.
Orange Lioness: 🙄
White Spider: Nick, you make the worst names ever.
Crazy Leopard: I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be flattered or insulted.
Trusty Seagull: Then, you’re flatsulted.
All: *laughs*
A horn was blown and they realized it was time to go. The rest of the crew left Red Eagle on her blimp and headed off to theirs. Each family climbed up their blimp, waiting for the launch. Another horn was blown. The blimp houses launched off. Their pilots steered the blimps gently eastward. The whole fleet communicated through a computer.
Red Eagle: Rach, can you hear me?
Calm Tiger: Sure do. What’s our first stop anyway?
Pilot Eagle: 24 Carrot Island. After that, Astro-Knights Island. Pewter Moon, Planet Earth, and finally Sparxiz.
Trusty Seagull: Wait a minute! Planet Earth?! Isn’t that supposed to be in another dimension?
Pilot Tiger: Yes, but if a human can enter Poptropica, then so can we enter Earth.
Crazy Leopard: You don’t mean that a human already entered Poptropica?
Pilot Seagull: No, humans have already entered Poptropica.
White Spider: You pilots know them?
Pilot Leopard: Yes, we do. In fact, you have already met them.
Red Eagle got a brain wave and pulled the photo the UDA agent gave them out of her pocket. She stared hard at the girl with black hair.
Red Eagle: Are you telling us, that Happy Peanut is a human?
None of the pilots replied but Pilot Eagle was wearing an impressed smile.
Orange Lioness: Sorry, I’m late. I had a bit of a snack.
White Spider: Alice, guess what? Happy Peanut’s a human!
Orange Lioness: Well, if she’s a human, then so is Hungry Peanut.
Trusty Seagull: Good point.
Pilot Seagull: We’re landing on 24 Carrot Island in five minutes, so you better tighten your seatbelts.
They sat back and tightened their seatbelts. This was going to be a bumpy ride. And it was.
Pilot Lioness: Welcome to 24 Carrot Island!
Everyone piled out of the blimps and took a look around in their surroundings.
Pilot Eagle: I almost forgot, we’re going to make a quick landing on Super Villain Island. I think we’re going to pick up another Poptropican from here. She was supposed to be picked up from Shrink Ray, but her family was taking a vacation here. And there’s another girl named Leanne that’s to be picked up. Sorry about the stops.
Crazy Leopard: Leanne? You don’t mean Meg’s cousin?
Pilot Eagle: I sure do.
And sure enough, two girls came into view five minutes later. One of them had long brown hair and blue eyes and carried a purple backpack. This was obviously Zippy Leanne Hawk. The other one had white blonde hair, hazel eyes, and had some sort of pixie stuffed toy on her shoulder. Both were carrying luggage.
Zippy Hawk hugged her cousin the moment she reached the group. The other girl was rather shy and very reluctant for the UDA agents to carry her luggage. And the stuff toy pixie on her shoulder wasn’t a stuff toy, it was the real thing. They realized this at once for it flew around the blimps, examining them.
Pilot Lioness: This is White Penelope Star. She’s related to the war in Sparxiz, being the princess fairy of fire.
White Star: 😳 I just found out that I’m not from Poptropica. Thanks to Infinity here, I found about my real parents.
She shifted her feet nervously, waiting for their reaction. Before it was made, though, the pixie flew up near Red Eagle and said something.
Infinity: Why, I don’t believe it! It’s princess Madelyn from planet Tides!
Red Eagle: Wha-a-t?!
Everyone had looked at Infinity and Red Eagle. Red Eagle hoped she had mistaken, but it was true. Everyone knew what Infinity meant: she was a fairy.
Zany Eagle: Meg, your father and I are sorry that we didn’t tell Helen and you.
Red Eagle: Tell us what? That we’re from a different planet and Dad saved us from drowning in Coral Beach?
She was shaking with anger now. She didn’t know how she knew it, but somehow a vision of her now foster father saving two baby girls while exploring underwater.
Zany Eagle looked very upset.
Zany Eagle: We didn’t tell you because Ashlyn told us not to! She told us that you would know when the time was ripe!
Trusty Seagull: Did you really mean to make time a fruit or is that just your expression?
Red Eagle: Let me guess, Ashlyn is the name of my birth mother.
To everyone’s surprise, she burst into laughter and hugged her mother.
Red Eagle: Don’t worry, Mom. I was just really stunned. Sorry if I worried you.
Zany Eagle: Why, you little liar! 🙂
They all laughed. Then, the horn blew. Everyone entered their blimps. White Star shared Orange Lioness’ blimp.
Pilot Lion-Star: Next stop, Super Villain Island. Goal: Let off our adult passengers.
White Spider: We know, we know!
Despite she and Calm Tiger were the quiet ones before, the kidnapping of Blue Ant and their incoming adventure had altered her personality.
White Star: I’m afraid of heights.
Her soft voice startled everyone. She hadn’t spoke since Red Eagle confronted her foster mother. Infinity shook her head.
Infinity: Penny, I’ve told you twenty-three times, your nervousness is causing you to be afraid. We did a health test last week, you do not have cancer.
White Star: I’m still afraid.
Infinity: Aw, c’mon. You’re the fairy princess of Sparxiz! What happens when you get your wings and you’re afraid to fly?
White Star still seemed to be nervous.
Red Eagle: What do you mean, ‘get your wings’? You mean like in TV?
Infinity: Yep.
Red Eagle: Oh boy. So I’m an aquaphobic fairy from Tides.
Infinity and White Star looked very surprised.
Infinity: You’re aquaphobic? But you’re the–
Red Eagle: Daughter of Queen Ashlyn and King Nathan of Tides. And a Lairenian fairy to boot. My mother told me when we got back on the blimps.
White Star: You know what a Lairenian fairy is, then? I’m one, too.
Red Eagle: Not really.
White Star: Lairenian fairies/faeries are fairies that were formerly non-magical beings. They become fairies when they believe in magic and come contact with it. It’s sort of like Squibs born from a wizard family, but they can recover their magic.
Red Eagle: How do they recover their magic?
White Star: They have to learn how to accept life. Of course, believing in themselves and in magic is also important.
Calm Tiger: Are you telling us that anyone can be a Lairenian fairy?
White Star: No, anyone can be a Lairenian, but to be a Lairenian fairy will take a lot of hard work.
Orange Lioness: Wow, where’d you get these books? History of Magix, The Great Dragon’s Myth, Basic Spells for Lairenian Faeries, Cast Your First Spell, Make a Love Potion…
Red Eagle: Are you telling us that the word ‘Lairenian’ refers to a certain species?
White Star: Yes. There are Lairenian witches, wizards, faeries, humans… and more. Infinity got them from Alfea for me.
White Spider: How do you become a Lairenian fairy?
White Star: You have to *gulps* confront pain.
There was silence. Everyone knew what confronting their pain meant: they had to accept the worst moment of their lives. Red Eagle had already confronted hers, so it was worst for her. White Star had confronted the truth that she was different from others. Trusty Seagull knew he would have a hard time confronting his worst moment: the kidnapping of Blue Ant. Orange Lioness? The thought of having no friends tortured her. White Spider was shaking really badly: the death of her mother was her worst moment. Crazy Leopard was very close to breaking down: the drowning of his best friend was killing him.
White Star: Once you’ve achieved that, you earn your Realanix. Being a Lairenian fairy totally beats being a Lairenian. To be a Lairenian, all you need to do is make contact with magic and believe in it.
Red Eagle’s blimp suddenly shook, knocking her off her feet. Trusty Seagull’s blimp collided with it, making him fall off his chair.
Trusty Seagull: What’s going on?!
He struggled to keep upright, and sadly failed. Red Eagle had managed to get up and seat her self.
Pilot Eagle: Code Black! Code Black!
Crazy Leopard: WHAT THE **** IS CODE BLACK?!
Pilot Seagull: We’re being attacked!
Red alarms had begun to ring. Everyone except the pilots were in the state of confusion.
Trusty Seagull: Nick, you can swallow soap some other time! We’ve got to do something about this!
White Star and Red Eagle were the only ones standing now, the rest were either on the floor or strapped in their seatbelts.
Red Eagle: How come I’m not dizzy or falling anymore?
Infinity: It’s your magic! You guys are Lairenian faeries aren’t you? Transform now! I’ll help with the computers!
She flew away and started sending electrical energy into the malfunctioning system of the Lioness Blimp.
White Star: Do you know how to transform? I’ve only done it once before…
Red Eagle: Then, tell me how to do it quick! We’ll crash if we don’t do something now!
White Star crossed her fingers above her head.
White Star: *closes eyes* Realanix!
Red Eagle copied her, but the moment she had closed her eyes, she didn’t need to yell. She was transforming.
Her red hair came out of it’s braid and was topped with a blue crown. Her clothes were washed with some blue fluid cloth and suddenly she was clothed in a blue dress with long gloves. The Coral Amulet appeared on her neck. Her shoes transformed into white sort-of-ballet shoes. Her wings were blue and white, but sort of transparent.
White Star transformed, too. Her white blonde hair contained two tiny braids. It was topped with a red crown. Her clothes changed into a red dress and a ruby red ring appeared on her left hand. A ruby necklace was on her neck. Her shoes disappeared and white slip-ons appeared. Her wings had streaks of red.
Red Eagle: I don’t really like girly dresses but these outfits rock!
Trusty Seagull: Save the fashion dilemma for later and get to finding out who caused this and stop them!
But who caused it appeared in Red Eagle’s blimp quicker than ever. A young boy about the age of thirteen appeared. Crazy Leopard smiled at Red Eagle in a mischievous way.
Crazy Leopard: Why did you think you could trust me?
His eyes were unnaturally yellow. He was glowing in green, too. But it couldn’t be Crazy Leopard… he was in his blimp when the blimps were attacked.
Red Eagle: Who are you?!
Crazy Leopard ?: Your dear old friend, Crazy Nicholas Leopard.
?: LIAR!
Red Eagle looked around and saw through the computer screen that the real Crazy Leopard was in his blimp. The fake Crazy Leopard looked angry.
?: Well, how did you get out of my trance?
Crazy Leopard: …
?: Ah, of course. The power of love is indeed a force very strong. I forgot to tell you, I was the one who has the fault of letting him drown. Remember Nick? *transforms*
Crazy Leopard stared in shock. The trouble-maker was Leo, his old friend.
Crazy Leopard: Why did you do it?!
Leo: Why?! I’ll tell you why! You left me! We were best friends! But you betrayed me! Oh ho, now do you know why I joined forces with the escaped convicts?
Crazy Leopard: I’ve lost my best friend before, and I’m not losing any of them AGAIN!
Something was happening to him. He was glowing unnaturally just like Leo. Everyone watched.
Red streaks appeared in his jet black hair. A silver sword with a golden handle appeared on his belt. His pants turned black, his shirt became armor. A golden watch appeared on his right wrist. His sneakers became winged golden sandals.
When his transformation was over, everyone had their eyes on him. One thing was clear in this state of confusion: Crazy Nicholas Leopard had faced his most painful moment and had earned his Realanix.
Crazy Leopard: Thanks, Leo.
He was smiling now, yet there were tears in his eyes.
Leo: Drats! Foiled again! *flicks wrist and disappears*
Despite that their trouble maker had vanished, the blimps continued to tremble. The metal door on White Spider’s ship opened and she was knocked out of the blimp.
Red Eagle: I’ll get her! Penny, do you know any spells to stop this airquake? Nick, you can help out the others, your sandals seem to be like in Greek Mythology!
She jumped out of her blimp in order to catch White Spider immediately. White Star was murmuring spells and odd incantations. Crazy Leopard had transported himself to Trusty Seagull’s blimp and was doing his best to help with the malfunctioning blimp systems.
Although Red Eagle had no idea how to use her powers, she managed to fly down quickly to reach White Spider. Even though she flew quickly, White Spider was about to fall in the icy waters of S.O.S. Island. She had to do something – quick. Completely losing her head, she made up a few words and yelled them.
Red Eagle: Ice barrier!
She yelled this while pulling air with her hands. To her surprise, a blue orb appeared from her combined hands and formed an ice barrier just below White Spider. Just in time to save her from getting hypothermia. Red Eagle flew down and held out a hand.
White Spider: About time you did a bit of magic. *grabs Red Eagle’s outstretched hand*
Red Eagle: C’mon. We better help the others on the blimps. They’re still malfunctioning.
White Spider: Newsflash, Meg: I don’t have wings.
Red Eagle: I can fly well enough for both of us. *starts flying upwards*
They reached White Spider’s blimp in a few minutes. Everything was in the state of confusion.
Red Eagle went back to her blimp. She contacted White Star.
White Star: I don’t understand. I’ve cast every repairing spell I’ve ever read of.
Red Eagle: Maybe….
Then, they felt it. The cold sucking sound of dementors. Red Eagle ran to the blimp window and was horrified by what she saw. Seven dementors were heading for them, sucking out their happiness as they went.
Red Eagle: Nick, Penny, looks like we got company.
They all flew out of their blimps.
White Star: Let’s see what you got! Fiery Blaze!
The fire engulfed two of the dementors and they fought to get out of it.
Red Eagle: See if you can beat this, Nick. Ice Cone!
Ice appeared around three dementors and trapped them inside.
Red Eagle: Blizzard Fury!
A blizzard started to smash the dementors into the walls of their ice prison. They disappeared absolutely.
Crazy Leopard: Sword of Skill!
Several swords sliced through the remaining two dementors, it gave no effect. The dementors glided swiftly towards him, sensing weakness.
W.T. and R.E.: NO!
However, someone saved Nick before the dementors got the chance to suck his soul out. Pilot Eagle pulled out a wand and yelled.
Pilot Eagle: EXPECTO PATRONUM!
A silvery-white doe appeared out of the tip of his wand. As it did so, Pilot Eagle’s hat fell off, revealing a lightning bolt scar. White Star flew down and grabbed Crazy Leopard before he crashed in the ice. Red Eagle flew motionless in the air.
Pilot Eagle: Sorry, I didn’t introduce myself properly. I’m Harry Potter, First Class, Order of Merlin, Head of the Auror Headquarters in The British Ministry of Magic.
White Star, Red Eagle, and Crazy Leopard stared at the conqueror of Lord Voldemort, the most ruthless Dark wizard in the Milky Way Galaxy.
The next episode will feature the Infinite Eternity Squad’s visit to Planet Earth and their landing on Astro-Knights and Super Villain Island.
P.S. The Manka Crew is now the Infinite Eternity Squad, and that includes Zippy Hawk and White Star. This will be revealed on Episode 13.
