Freeing of the Faeries

by whiskpaws

Once upon a time, in a land called Neopia, there was a little Shoyru named Tarkento. Neopia wasn't a happy place, because Narkiment, Dr. Sloth's great-grandson had taken over and managed to bottle every Faerie. At least he thought.

One day, when Tarkento was sleeping in his secret retreat far away from Narkiment's palace, he stumbled upon something. He got up quickly, shaking off the dust, but when his head rose up, he found himself face to face with the Faerie Queen. This Faerie Queen was funny looking; it had gray hair, wrinkles, and a beard. In fact, it was a Faerie King!! The Faerie King said, "Tarkento, you must free the Faeries and banish Narkiment.

My spirit only awakens when Neopia is endangered, and now it is more threatened than I've ever seen it. I give you this, use it wisely, and go and battle Narkiment. You will meet, Tempo and Combiner on the way." Tempo and Combiner were close friends with Tarkento. He looked forward to seeing, and anxiously looked around for them. Making sure they were not near, he turned back around to the Faerie King to ask him what this strange thing he gave him was. But when he turned, the Faerie King had vanished into thin air.

There was only one thing to do, find Combiner and Tempo, and head towards Narkiment's castle. On the way he saw a Faerieland Gourmet Burger, and since he was so hungry, he dropped the strange item and ran towards it. A greedy Peophin picked it up, and ran towards the water with it. As soon as Tarkento saw the Peophin, it was halfway towards Pentagramik Lake! He dropped the rest of the sandwich and raced after the Peophin.

When the Peophin dove into the water, he managed to grab its tail. The strange object flew into the water. Tarkento was heartbroken. His dreams of being hero passed before his eyes. As he was walking away, something hit him in the head. "Ouch!!" he shouted, but then he realised the object that hit him was the same thing the Faerie King gave him. He flew around, and saw Combiner and Tempo. Tempo said " I saw you walking with this earlier, what was it doing in the lake? You're lucky I found it during my morning swim." Tempo loved the water, and was a very athletic Techo. "Where are you going?" Combiner the Poogle added. Tarkento explained the story. They agreed to come with him to Narkiment's castle, and free the Faeries. When they were about halfway there, an evil mutant Uni named Krista saw them. She was very loyal to Narkiment, and was his personal assistant. She gathered up a small hoard of evil mutant Tuskaninnys and ordered them to eliminate the 3 travelers. When Tarkento and his friends were eating lunch, the evil Tuskaninnys attacked.

Tempo, a born warrior, used Techo glare, and after using it several times on the same Tuskaninny, it became normal and nice. The 3... no 4 good guys battled the Tuskaninnys and one by one they became good. Krista the evil mutant Uni was watching the whole time. She decided not to attack with any more pets, because they would just make more good disgusting good creatures to defeat. When the group reached the castle, guards immediately started attacking Tempo, for he was the person who commanded the battles. He would kick them to Tarkento, who would slam them to the ground. As pushed further into the castle, a huge army surrounded them, loaded up with items like frost cannons.

Tempo told everyone to stand back. When they fired the frost cannon, Tempo struck their leader with a double flying kick sending them into a panic. The Tuskaninny 's stole their frost cannons, and by the time they calmed down, half of the evil mutants were frozen. They picked the rest off with sleek punches and kicks. Then, they saw a room with a door bolted shut. It said DO NOT ENTER in bold letters on it. Tarkento smiled at everyone. That was where the Faeries were. But they would half to open that door quickly. Techo and the Tuskaninnys kept ramming the door, but it was sealed shut.

Tarkento and Combiner devised a plan of their own. They took the frost cannons, and froze the hinges of the giant door. Then, they took a fireball, and melted the frozen hinges. The strong metal melted away with the ice. The Tuskaninny 's and Tempo stood in awe as the huge door fell open. There were thousands...no....millions of Faeries. But the room seemed suspiciously quiet. All of a sudden huge armies of mutants filled the room. When the small adventurers turned to run back out the way the came, an even bigger army came.

Narkiment stepped forward and snickered, "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Faerie Kings little messengers. I'd love to watch you be destroyed, but capturing you and making you a mindless evil mutant would be better."

Krista stepped forward, and shot an attack from a weird gun. One by one, Tarkento's friend were turned into evil mutants. Krista was about to change Tarkento, but Narkiment held her up and said, "Wait, lock him up in the dungeon, I have separate plans for him."

A huge cage fell on top of Tarkento. "He looked at the strange item and shouted sarcastically "Stupid thing, some help you are!" He through it on the ground, and it made an indescribable noise. All of a sudden, all of the mutants fell helplessly to the ground holding their ears and the Faerie bottles; they were cracking!! BOOM! All the Faeries burst out of their bottles and locked Narkiment in his own dungeon. Then, they changed all the mutants back to normal. Finally, the Faeries restored Neopia to its old self and the world was replenished.

The End
