Clockwork: Not going to happen

Me: Go bother Danny or something, honestly I bring you in for one chapter and..... ugh

Jazz's POV

Sam, Tucker and I all piled back into the Specter Speeder. Fright Knight and Clockwork also joined us inside the vehicle. Sam took the spot in front of the controls, "Where to first Clockwork?" she asked.

"We go to Danny's most loyal followers," the Time Master replied as he took a seat. Everyone instantly knew who he was referring to. "Setting a course for the Far Frozen," Sam said and off we went.

About an hour later

Sam stopped the Speeder on the outskirts of a frozen village. Tucker handed Sam and I winter coats so we wouldn't get cold and put them on. We stepped out of the Speeder and was instantly hit with the cold of the Far Frozen.

We walked through the village and caught the attention of a few residents. "It's the Great One's friends," said a ghost yeti. Everyone began to crowd around us saying hello and asking 'Where is the Great One?'.

"Please everyone, allow them some space," shouted a familiar voice. The crowd moved aside as their leader, Frostbite, made his way to us. The giant yeti had a wide smile on his face and his arms were open in a greeting fashion, "Welcome, friends of the Great One. To what do we owe this pleasure?"

"Frostbite, we need your help," Clockwork said. Frostbite looked at Clockwork and his eyes widened, "Time Master? What is wrong? The Infinity Map is safe if that is what you are concerned about."

Clockwork shook his head, "No Frostbite, we have a much more serious problem." Frostbite's face turned serious, "Perhaps we should continue this conversation elsewhere." With that Frostbite lead the five of us to his ice castle. The massive building was entirely made of ice and in sparkled like diamonds. Two carved doors opened and Frostbite lead us inside.

Frostbite excused the guards leaving only the five of us in the main hall. He held out his hand and from it came five ice blasts that formed five ice chairs. After creating one for himself, Frostbite gestured to the seats and said, "Please have a seat."

I took a seat in between Tucker and Sam with Fright Knight and Clockwork in chairs beside Danny's friends. Frostbite leaned forward in his chair and folded his one normal hand and his ice hand under his chin, "Now what is this great problem?"

Clockwork shifted into a form that gave him the appearance of a young adult, "Danny is in trouble." Frostbite shot upright in his seat, "What has happened to the Great One?!" he demanded.

"An evil ghost kidnapped him and is now using Danny as the new Pariah Dark," Sam said quickly. Frostbite stood up, anger in his eyes, "Who dares to corrupt him?"

Clockwork raised from his seat, "A long forgotten spirit. But the problem is, he is too powerful for us to face on our own. We need help. We are trying to get all of Danny's allies and even his enemies to assist in the attack."

Frostbite grinned, "You have the full support of the Far Frozen. Anything to help the Great One."

I smiled, one down. "Thank you Frostbite. When the time is right, I will summon you. Be prepared to attack within two days time," Clockwork told the ghost yeti.

Frostbite nodded and we made our leave. "That went well," I commented with a grin on my face. Clockwork turned to me as he shifted to his toddler form, "Do not celebrate yet Jasmine, we still have much to do in a short amount of time."

The grin on my face faded as we piled back into the Specter Speeder. "Now where?" Tucker asked as he took a seat beside Sam at the controls. "I suggest the Lady Pandora," Fright Knight said.

Clockwork nodded in agreement, "A wise choice, to the Acropolis of Athens." And once again, we headed off.

An hour later

Just as Sam was about to land the Speeder when Clockwork yelled,  "Stop!" Sam pulled on the brakes, "Why? What's wrong?" she asked, slightly annoyed. Clockwork shifted into his elderly form, "We should go in on foot. You all know how she is about unwelcome guests."

Of course, who could forget? Tucker opened the door of the Speeder and Fright Knight assisted the three of us down to Pandora's lair. We walked up to her temple and entered the enormous building.

"Pandora! We require you assistance," Clockwork called. Pandora materialized right in front of us, in all her massive glory. "Clockwork!" she cried, her fours arms opened wide in greeting, "To what do I owe this rare pleasure?"

"Danny's in trouble," I quickly told her. Pandora looked at me then back at Clockwork, "Is this true Time Master?"

Clockwork nodded, "An evil spirit has captured Danny and is now using his power to create another Age of Darkness."

Pandora frowned and her eyes blazed with fury, "WHO?!" she demanded. "A very powerful ghost that we cannot defeat on our own. That is why we have come to you Lady Pandora," Fright Knight said.

"We need your armies to help in an attack against Vizier," Sam informed the giant woman. Pandora abruptly stopped her rage fit and put on a look of sympathy. She faced Clockwork, "Vizier has returned?" she asked and Clockwork nodded as he shifted into his toddler form.

"Then I shall give you any assistance you require," Pandora said. She shrunk her size a bit and offered her hand to Clockwork, "For her memory," she whispered, most likely intending for no one else to hear.

Clockwork took her hand and patted it, "We must be going on our way. Have your armies ready to attack within two days time. I will summon you when the time is right."

Pandora nodded and the five of us walked out of her temple. Sam appeared at my side. "Who do you think Pandora was talking about?" she whispered into my ear. She must've heard what Pandora had whispered to Clockwork too.

I shrugged, "I'm not exactly sure, maybe that Serenity person Vizier mentioned. Do you think we should ask him?" I whispered back. Sam shook her head, "I don't know much about Clockwork but I can tell he's not a very open kind of guy. It's amazing we learned what we did back at his tower."

I nodded in agreement as we reached the edge of the island, "And I noticed when he was telling his story he said there were 8 Elder Spirits, but only 5 went against Pariah. Vizier was 'gone' and Pariah was evil so that means 6 spirits should have faced him."

Sam looked up at me, "Yeah, do you think Clockwork made a mistake?"

I shrugged, "I don't know, but he's definitely not telling us something."

I grabbed onto Fright Knight's arm and Sam and Tucker grabbed his other arm. He flew us up to the Speeder and we all climbed in.

Sam once again took the spot behind the wheel, "So Clockwork, where to next?"Clockwork took a seat as he shifted to his young adult self, "The Kingdom of Queen Dorathea."

Without another word Sam started up the Speeder and headed off once more.

An hour later

By the time we got to Dora's kingdom Tucker was complaining about not being fed for over 3 hours. "I'm going to starve to death," Tucker whined as he dramatically flung his arm across his forehead.

Sam groaned, "Oh please, I'm sure that Dora might have something for you to eat. But you'd have to ask nicely." Tucker sighed as Sam stopped the Specter Speeder just outside the castle walls.

Everyone climbed out and began walking towards the castle. We reached the entrance and Clockwork knocked on the large doors and they opened wide revealing two guardsmen. "We have come to see Queen Dorathea," Clockwork said in his regular monotone voice.

The guards nodded and bowed as we entered the castle. Clockwork led us to a throne room where Queen Dora was sitting on a golden throne.

Dora was wearing a soft blue dress with long sleeves and she had a white sash around her waist. Around her neck was a green amulet, and her hair flowed down her back in waves. A simple crown rested on her head.

She smiled when she saw us. "Clockwork, Fright Knight, Sam, Tucker and Jasmine, it's wonderful to see you all again," she said as she floated over to us, "Though I highly doubt this is a social call."

"Hey Dora," Sam said casually, "Love what you've done with the place." Dora grinned, "Thank you, we have come a long way since my brother's rule."

"Queen Dorathea, we need your assistance in an attack," Fright Knight said drawing Dora's attention to him. The queen looked confused, "Whatever for?"

Clockwork took the responsibility of explaining, "An evil spirit has forced young Danny onto the path that Pariah Dark once tread. We cannot defeat him alone. We need you and your armies to assist us in our battle."

Dora's eyes glowed with rage and she clutched her amulet. Sam and Tucker had told me about Dora's dragon side on the day of the party and how if she was angered she could turn into a massive fire breathing beast.

I prepared for her transformation... but none came. Dora took a deep breath and let it out slow, "You have the full support of my kingdom Time Master."

Clockwork nodded, "Thank you your majesty. Have your armies ready for the attack within two days. I will summon you when we are ready."

Dora nodded and turned to float back to her throne as we showed ourselves out. As we exited the castle I asked, "Now what do we do?"

Clockwork didn't look at me as he replied, "We begin planning."

The five of us piled back into the Speeder and took off. "We have the support of the Far Frozen, Pandora's forces, and Queen Dora's armies," Clockwork said as Sam began driving back towards his tower, "But it is still might not be enough."

My eyes widened. "You have got to be kidding me!" Tucker cried. Clockwork adjusted the time on his staff and he shifted to his elderly form, "I wish I was, but it has been so long I do not know how powerful Vizier truly is."

I stood up, "We have to try anyways. Danny needs us! If any of us were in trouble he'd go in on his own to rescue us. We can't think negative thoughts. We will beat Vizier and we will save Danny."

The Speeder was silent. "Jazz is right," Sam said, "We've gone against worst odds and won." Tucker nodded, "Yeah, we got this in the bag."

I smiled though silently, I was actually afraid we would lose. But we had to fight no matter what. If we did manage to win, everything would be fine (hopefully). And if we lost, I'd lose my little brother forever.
