//------------------------------// // Chapter 29 // Story: Magical World // by madhat886 //------------------------------// ! In their new base, which is the back of a laundromat the guardians of the veil, W.I.T.C.H., are with their friend Elyon. The girls have fixed up the backroom of the laundromat making it into a clubhouse for them when they’re on duty as heroes. Mirage their mentor is handling the paperwork to allow them to operate as heroes in the backroom. The girls are using the laundromat as a meeting place and hangout, till the paperwork is done. Currently the girls are helping Elyon to get ready for her meeting with Sunset Shimmer on the behalf of the other magical worlds. Seeing how the only magical worlds that actually have diplomatic ties to the UN are, Ephedia, Meridian, and Rainbow Land, the magical worlds didn’t have much of a choice in choosing who would talk with Ms. Shimmer and clear things up. Ephedia has already sent Ellira to talk with the UN, seeing how she has been living on Earth for years. Leaving either Elyon or Rainbow Brite to talk with Ms. Shimmer, it wasn’t a hard choice. “Ok I know you’re intimidated by Ms. Shimmer…. I know just think of her being naked,” Cornelia said remembering how to beat stage fright. “Imagine Ms. Shimmer naked?” Elyon asked as her mind made an image of her standing in front of a naked Sunset Shimmer. Elyon’s face turn red as she pictures herself standing in front of Ms Shimmer naked. A mature woman who has a tone and muscular body that is also extremely stacked, each of her breasts are about the size of Elyon’s torso and the same goes for her massive jiggly butt. If Elyon were to press her head between either orbs, her head would be engulfed in the soft jiggly mountains of flesh and that’s for both front and back. She’s nothing but a small slender young girl comparing herself to a fully grown and mature woman, not help by the fact that Ms. Shimmer is now over 9 feet tall. “NO! I LIKE BOYS!” Elyon shouted out. “Great you broke her,” Irma said seeing how Elyon face is red and her eyes blank. “Telling her to imagine Ms. shimmer naked so she won’t be intimidated by her, doesn’t work when she’s hot,” Taranee said. “She was already hot to begin with and now, she’s now mega hot. Remember the pictures of her when she came back still wearing what she wore when she was zap into the tv world? And with her being all but immortal, she will always look like that when we’re old,” Hay Lin said and felt very depressed at the idea that when she’s old and looks like her grandma, Ms. Shimmer would still look the same. “Geee thanks for reminding us,” Will huffed as she and the others also felt depressed at the thought. Followed by everyone else, thinking that when they’re old and bodies are shutting down, Ms. Shimmer will be still as she looks now. “So what do I say to her?” Elyon asked nervously. “Just tell her the truth, she is very informal,” Taranee said to Elyon. “How should I start? How do I tell her what the magical worlds want,” Elyon said as she looked through her notes. “Wanting the princesses and the soldiers to be released and her giving them what they want,” Irma said looking at the notes. “The other kingdoms just want to have everything remain the same form them,” Hay Lin said. “Guys!” Will said showing them her iPad with a special report playing on YouTube. The girls crowded around the screen watching the report of the latest news that Ms. Shimmer just made public. People who are thought to be just fictional characters turn out to be real and that what they could do was thanks to magical items they found. They were captured by soldiers from the magical worlds and the memories of them were erased, replaced by them becoming works of fiction to discredit the people who still remember. The French hero Nyctalope, only remembered in old books. Wendy the good witch, now just as a comic book character. The Phantom is now a old comic book superhero. The Fury, a heroine who is only remember in old comics. The Shadow, Spring-Heeled Jack, Fantomah, Nyoka the Jungle Girl, The Clown, Spider, Funny Man, Fly Man, The Scarecrow and many more. The list went on and on with more people who discovered a magical item or learn magic on their own and tried to make the world better. Only for the magical worlds to send soldiers to capture them or kill them, erasing them and making them just works of fiction. (1) And what happen to the witch Hilda who was trying to help her country of Germany after the First World War. They captured her and erase the mind of her childhood friend who had alway been with her, Hitler who without his friend in his life turn into the monster the magical world made him. Which during the war, the magical world used as cover to capture any magic users. The magic world only stop once technology got to the point where while they could erase memories they couldn’t erase the films and pictures. And once superheroes became a thing, they couldn’t operate as they did before. “As you can see why you can’t trust the magical worlds, they been doing that kind of thing for centuries now. It’s the reason why once I control the magic, I’m cutting them all off. They have more than proven that they can’t be trusted with magic,” Ms. Shimmer said on the video and then the video ended. “Grandma is wrong about the magical worlds, they’re the bad guys,” Hay Lin said. “I can’t side with them anymore,” Elyon said getting up. “I’m joining Shimmer.” “I’m with you,” Cornelia said. “Me too,” Will said with the others nodding in agreement. “They been in charge for too long,” Taranee said. “They should know what it’s like to not having magic to push others around,” Irma adds. “Girls let’s go,” Elyon said leading them out to tell their parents what they’re going to do before going to Paris. ! Paris, France - Inside the women’s prison Bloom and the other fairies have been imprisoned since they were arrested with the female soldiers of the army sent to arrest Sunset Shimmer. The army and Bloom’s group have all been deposited of their magic by Shimmer, leaving them to be arrested and awaiting their hearing. Bloom has no idea what her parents were thinking of sending soldiers to arrest Shimmer, all that did was confirm to the people of Earth that the magical worlds are more than willingly to do anything to keep magic only in their hands. That’s Shimmer was right about hiding and hiring villains to steal magic and everything else she did so that the magical worlds wouldn’t make her disappear. Nearly a week ago Shimmer had release proof online of the number of people who had been taken and erased from memory by using magic to make people forget. Bloom was shock at the news that the old pulp fiction French hero Nyctalope who she has read the books, was real and he had a magic helmet that allowed him to do what he did. And there are so many others who are only remembered in fiction, all of whom were captured and imprisoned or executed. Which caused lots of unrest as Shimmer used her magic draining machine to undo the spell that rewrote the memories of the people who were around at the time. Seems that the spells used to alter the memories of people can be undone if the one whose mind was change has the magic draining machine used on them. The magical worlds only stop because of the raise of the superheroes in America and how easy it is to record events. As while the magic worlds could change memories they couldn’t change the photos and recordings, which is why they stop as they couldn’t do it the old way anymore. This caused lots of outrage, seeing how because of the magical world, capturing people and erasing memories is the reason why WW2 happen. The witch Hilda was using her magic to help the people of Germany after the first war, with her life long friend Hitler. When she was captured and Hitler’s memories of her were erased, without her in his life he became the monster people remember him as. Now there is no trust with the magical worlds who are behind the cover up. Namely the worlds that Bloom and her friends are all from. Bloom was laying on her bed doing nothing as she waited for lunch where she will be allowed out of her cell. It would just be another day in prison as she awaited her hearing, which she and the others have no bail, seeing how she and the others could escape to their worlds. The last thing she expected was the alarms to sound off as something big was happening in the city of Paris. And a loud booming sound from somewhere in the prison means something else is happening in the prison. ! Sparkle’s Lab - On the big screen just outside of the city of Paris portals are opening up with the combine armies of the hostile magical worlds pouring out of. They couldn’t portal their way into the city like before thanks to the anti portal shield Shimmer had erected with the go ahead from the French government, preventing the magic worlds from opening portals into the city from the outside. Once the machine that activates the shield detected portals opening, it raised the shields making the invading army having to open portals outside of the shield’s range. (2) Sparkle is watching from a number of screens from both news channels and online of the invading army from the magical world. They march into the city passing through the barrier and began their attack, the Paris police are doing their best to keep the fleeing civilians safe and are joining the number of soldiers from the French army who been on standby since the first attack. They setup roadblocks and defense positions as they prepared to fight back against the magical army that are marching into the city. The army is being lead by some of the Winx Club members parents. King Oritel and Queen Marion, Bloom’s parents. King Radius And Queen Luna, Stella's parents. King Teredor and Queen Niobe, Aisha's parents. King Erendor and Queen Samara, Sky’s parents. Sparkle is already giving out orders to everyone to carry out plan Kimmy, one of the many plans that Shimmer came up with incase something like this happens. A screen pops up showing Shimmer. “Sparkle is plan Kimmy up and running?” Shimmer ask. “Yes we….,” Sparkle said as another screen pop up. “We got a problem. The United HeroeZ won’t be helping.” “Why?” Shimmer ask. “A portal has open in LA and an army of robot frogs are invading the city,” Sparkle said bringing up a screen of news footage of an invading army of frog robots and a flying castle. “Use plan Zell then,” Shimmer said causing another screen to pop up. “This is Protostar ready to unleash the robot army on the magical worlds,” Beckett Mariner now captain of the starship. “The magical world has decided to go nuclear, we will response as well. Setup for full attack but wait for the signal, so we can attack all at once,” Shimmer said. “Right boss,” Mariner said signing off. “Are we really going to use all of it?” Sparkle ask. “Of course, I haven’t build up an army of this size for centuries and not use it when I have a reason to finally use it,” Shimmer said who on her end is sending out orders to everyone for a large scale coordinated counterattack. ! Heatherfield, Connecticut - The members of W.I.T.C.H. are in a panic, not only is the magical world is attacking France but an army of frog robots are also attacking LA. A call for all heroes of United HeroeZ to assemble to LA came out, with Doorman providing transport. They told their parents that they be working search and rescue while the older more experienced heroes be fighting the robot frog army. “Ok we wait for Doorman,” Will said to her team. “You think the robot frog army is working with the magic worlds?” Irma ask. “Have no idea but the European heroes will be helping the attack there,” Taranee said watching the battle happening in LA on the tv in the backroom. Majestia is smashing her way through the robot horde only to be stop by robots that looked to be designed to fight her. Unknown to everyone with Marcy Wu being apart of the hive mind of the Core, her knowledge of the superheroes of her world which she’s a big fan of, allowed the Core to upgrade the robots to be able to fight the superheroes of Earth. Resulting in a much larger army of robots and smaller flying attack fortress, with weapons with superheroes in mind. “Don’t worry, we can do this,” Cornelia said. “Hey it’s Shimmer,” Hay Lin said who is watching the action taking place in France with her iPad. On the iPad Shimmer is standing in front of the approaching army, dressed in a thigh length grey coat and matching pants with red and yellow highlights. She had on red tinted armor, gauntlets, boots, a metal chest plate that has slots for her wings on the back. She is wearing a helmet in the shape of a unicorn with a glowing horn, in the place of the crown. She held a battle axe, its the length of her body and has a massive blade on it that run down about half the staff that it's attached to. That blade is attached to the staff by thick metal clips that held the blade in place, while letting Sunset grasp it and use it like a staff if she needed to. The image of Shimmer isn’t just on the screens but also appearing in the Paris skyline. Allowing the invading army being able to see and hear what she has to say. ! Paris, France - Marching near the front of their army King Oritel and Queen Marion stared ahead at the defenses the local guards of the city have put up. Thanks to Bloom he and Marion have a good understanding of what kind of defenses the human soldiers have, their armor with their magical defenses will give them some protection as well as spells. Since the failed arrest of Shimmer and the arrest of his daughter and her friends, he took a page from Shimmer and got ready for this. "Dad!" Bloom said in her fairy form along with her friends both the girls and boys, who have been freed from prison thanks to the soldiers he sent ahead for that mission. "Bloom you're safe and have your magic back," Marion said embracing Bloom in a hug. "Not now!" Bloom said freeing herself. "What are you thinking? Launching a full scale invasion? And after what Shimmer revealed what happen to the magic users who tried to help out here on Earth only to be either killed or arrested and have the people close to them, their memories erased? The magical alliance being the reason why WW2 happen?" "Which is why we must act and stop Shimmer before she takes the throne of Equestia and we be force to obey her. She plans to seal our magic away," Oritel said. "Because you're proving her right," Bloom said having much time to think about what she learned while sitting in her cell. If everything that Shimmer said is true, the magical worlds has always been power hungry wanting magic all to themselves. "We do what we have to, we can't let the magic be taken from us," Oritel said. "Because, you're the only ones who can ever be trusted with it," Shimmer voice called out as a giant image of her appeared in the sky. "That's right we are," Oritel said facing the image. "No matter the cost, especially seeing how that's the only way you can win now after you shown what you are to the residents of Earth. What you and your allies are willing to do to keep magic all to yourselves. As long as you keep the status quo you all will continue to do what you did before," Shimmer said. "We do what we have to do to keep our worlds safe," Oritel said. “Seeing how you people from the magic kingdoms are dead set on preventing me from taking my birthright and cut off the magic you have all been clearly abusing. You have brought this on your heads,” Shimmer said. The barrier where the magic army are under just turned off, the barrier wasn't gone just gone from the area they're under. The reason why soon became clear as portals began opening up and out of them came military vehicles carrying the army that Shimmer has been building up for years. Ranging from cars with mounted weapons, APCs, guns trucks, and tanks. Portals in the air also open allowing airships of all kinds to come out, ranging from blimps, helicopters, aircrafts being kept afloat by rockets or propellers, and more exotic means as there are some spaceships. All of the vehicles lined up and held their positions both on the ground and in the air showing a high level of cohesion and discipline. The rebuilt and upgraded Antarctic Snow Cruiser, now having tank treads replacing the massive wheels that because of a design flaw didn’t work right. The cruiser is armored plated, with a force field generator that has been designed to absorb magic attacks, recharging its batteries. The cruiser is the personal vehicle of the Snow Queen, designed to be able to work in subzero conditions which the Snow Queen and her adopted niece Elsa also has. On top of the cruiser is a large cannon that has been designed to funnel the ice powers of the Snow Queen into a giant ice gun. Standing on the cannon is Shimmer and looking around she spotted things and people she knows from fiction. A spaceship from Star Trek, spaceships from Starwars, a driod carriers that’s unloading B1 battle droids in the hundreds. And someone that Bloom recognized having read and seen enough pictures to recognize him. “It’s Nyctalope,” Bloom said. “No it’s impossible he’s dead,” Oritel said. “He’s not the one your father had capture and killed. He’s the one created in the book series. I found a magical item that allowed me to enter book worlds where I can live a lifetime inside a story and come out having all the skills that I learned in there,” Shimmer said. “Wait that means,” Bloom said remembering the news interview in Shimmer’s office with the painting of a number of fictional characters, which Shimmer said they’re her mentors. “The painting with those characters from fiction, you said they’re your mentors.” “Yes, I learned from all of them and trained for centuries in some of those worlds. I found a way to bring people from the book world to life who wanted to be brought to life and later thanks to Discord sending me to Tv land, I brought even more with me,” Shimmer said. “Wait you mean we have to deal with Excalibur from Soul Eater?” Bloom asked thinking of the painting and of Excalibur and making the face. (ﺧ益ﺨ) “He’s too powerful to bring to life, and besides. I learned to tolerate him so that as a ruler, I can tolerate people who I don’t like or care for,” Sunset deadpanned. (4) “Dad you have to stop right now! Shimmer would have recruited people in fiction who are strong and powerful. Her two female aides who are always with her are Korra and Asami from Legend of Korra, which means she has an army of element benders and lots of robots,” Bloom pleaded with her father. “No, I can’t if we are to survive she must be stop,” Oritel said pushing Bloom away and signal for the magic users to launch their attack on Shimmer. Hundreds of spell casters launch their spells at Shimmer who just stood there, looking bored. The spells stop upon hitting the forcefield that absorbs the magic. Leaving the magic army stun seeing the magic attack stopped dead cold. “I’m unleashing the giant robots I took from my time in the tv world and having them attack your home planets,” Shimmer said as the screen turn to the planets of the magic dimensions. ! The Magic Dimensions - The capital cities of the planets that makes up the alliance of the magical worlds, are all under attack as giant robots are teleported to the cities by a portal. The robots have been reprogrammed and upgraded from what they use to be in the fiction they came from. The ones that needed or could be controlled by a pilot are controlled by B1 droids and some have armed droids onboard them, and supported by armies of battle droids from Star Wars. The remaining soldiers left at the capitals took up arms and did their best to defend the cities. Andros is the realm of oceans and is thusly connected to all the oceans of other realms within the Magic Dimension. It is also the home of mermaids and tritons. Is being attack by The Leviathan from Atlantis: The Lost Empire. The giant war machine tore through the buildings and unleashed its main energy weapon that destroyed anything it hits. Callisto is the homeworld of Varanda. Is being attack by the Omnidroid from The Incredibles. Showing the upgrades to be able to kill superheroes works just fine against magic users. Dolona is the homeworld of Eleanor. Is attack by the Robot Probe from Monster Vs Aliens. The giant robot is slow moving but because of its massive size where two steps covers lots of ground at once and forcefield allowed it to just walk through the buildings. Domino is a realm that possibly holds the greatest amount of influence and importance within the Magic Dimension thanks to it being the resting place of the legendary Great Dragon. Is being attack by Serpentera from Power Rangers. Which the power issue has been solved with a powerful generator from Star Wars. Allowing it to quickly destroy much of the city. Eraklyon homeworld of Sky. Is being attack by Mondo-Bot from Samurai Jack. The massive war machine easily destroyed large parts of the city with its arsenal of weapons. Espero is being attack by Mechakong from the Godzilla series. Has been upgraded with a head laser, replacing the hypno light on its head. Hoggar where the school of forgers is located. Is being attack by Dynamo from the Powerpuff Girls. And like in the episodes where it shows up is quickly leaving nothing but burning wreckage behind it. Linphea is being attack by Argo II from Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot. Which is using its 500 megawatt vortex cannon on the city, not that it needs it. Magix where the somatic schools are located. Is being attack by the Colossus from The Legend of Korra. Now is a full robots with a droid crew inside of it, and the spirit cannon having been replaced with a plasma cannon. Destroying large sections of the city with no long recharge time. Melody is the realm of music. Is being attack by Mogueras from the Godzilla series. The robot is showing what a robot design to fight giant monsters can do to a city, and using its drill head that can separate from its body to dig underground causing buildings to collapse. Ohm was the Realm of Inner Peace. Is being attack by The Mobile Oppression Palace from Futurama. Now armed with blaster turrets and crewed by droids, in a fully metal robot. The palace is leading the robot army with it, destroying anything that could stop the robot army which cleaned up after it. Oppositus is a planet in the Magic Dimension where opposites exist in total harmony. Is being attack by Mechagodzilla from the Godzilla series. The robot version of the king of monsters proved to be just as unstoppable as the real thing. Romula’s rulers are King Winetka and Queen Linley. Is being attack by the giant-robot-scorpion mecha from Robot Wars 1993. The robot scorpion rampaged through the city drawing all the attention to it, allowing the robot army with it to attack the distracted soldiers trying to stop it. Solaria is a planet of the Magic Dimension and the home realm of Stella. Is being attack by the JDG-00X Devil Gundam from Mobile Fighter G Gundam. Zenith is the realm of technology and, as a result, is heavily integrated and dependent on it.. Is being attack by R.E.C.R from the Megas XLR. ! Heatherfield, Connecticut - “Ms. Shimmer has her own robot army all of this time?” Will ask out loud as she and her friends stare in amazement at the number of giant robots attacking the capital cities of the magical worlds. “She went to Star Wars and has those battle droids,” Irma said being a big fan of the Star Wars the cartoon series. Not the new movies, as the main female star is just forgettable and she can’t think of anything that makes her stand out that isn’t by the numbers. (3) “She even has Mechagodzilla and Mechakong,” Cornelia said. “I wonder what else she has? She must had gotten more than that,” Taranee said. “I’m glad we sided with Shimmer,” Hay Lin said not wanting to fight someone who can summon giant robots. The hero Doorman appeared opening a door leading to LA, and waving to them. “Come on!” Doorman said. “Girls let’s go!” Will shouted leading the charge into the war zone that LA has become. !
