MaxJ1800: Sorry about that...,just wanted to show how sexual Zaniah can get with her consort. Now, if you or any of you readers can guess the songs used in this part, then you are quite well versed in either soundtracks or certain other animated series. BTW, I need names for the three new characters. Any and all suggestions will be welcomed.

The head Lexiconian archeologist shakes his head. His comrade's eagerness in translating the tablet had left a gab in the translation that he now had translated.


There worlds at war.
One created.
One lost to their world.
They make their home on the third son from the sun.

Brought together to battle evil.
To face trials from their new and old homes.
Their love strength will be tested.

From the depths of darkness
Fire and ice will come.
Former heroes they were,
Now bent on destruction.

But unknowing of the true enemy,
Ice and Fire will align with the defenders of the third son.
The only way for victory,
Is to unite the heart of knowledge.

"Ah, much better. I guess that's why he'll never be the leader of his own team." the Lexicon muses out loud.

Why did you awake me? You know I need at least 10 cycles of beauty sleep." Zaniah states.
"My apologies, Empress, but our long range sensors picked up this." Tobey states and pushes a button to reveal a black sphere heading towards Earth.
"Is that another elemental?" Zaniah asks.
"Whatever it is it's twice as powerful as the two down on Earth." Tobey reports. Zaniah bites her lip. What was up with this reality.

"I've had it!" the red head shouts. "I've waited long enough! Let's destroy this planet now!"
"Hmmm, those alternate versions of those defenders must have have done something to us to make us fuck like we just did." the icy blue haired girl states.
"I don't care. Let's torch this planet." he states and his female companion follows. Even though she was the more patient one, even her patience wore out.

"Caelum, Emma, Huggy, keep a watch over Carina. We'll finish this." Becky states as she and Tim retrieve their necklaces.
"This would the point where I'd get pissed off and complain about being left out of this fight, but I know better. I would get either frozen solid or barbecued out there. So, for the sake of earth and the rest of the galaxy, win." Caelum states.
"Don't worry, we will." Tim states and the two join hands.
"Word up!" Becky cries and with a gold flash she transform into WordGirl.
"Calculate!" Tim cries and with same golden hue, he transforms into MathWiz.
"Team Alphanumeric!" they both shout and with that the two take off in streaks of gold light.
"Amazing," Emma states.
"Huh, I pity those poor bastards." Caelum states.
"Bastards?" Carina states and Caelum starts sweating.

"Let's see if they can stop this!" the red head says hovering above the city. He starts producing a giant ball of fire in his hands, but before he could let it loose, a golden missile in the from of MathWiz smashes into him.
"Not today, flame head." MathWiz states.

Sometimes when your hopes have all been shattered
And there's nowhere to turn
You wonder how you keep going
Think of all the things that really mattered
And the chances you've earned
The fire in your heart is growing
You can fly, if you try leaving the past behind
Heaven only knows what you might find

"How? How did you do that?" the red head asks.
"You'll find we're full of surprises." MathWiz states and launches himself at the fire elemental.
"Care to tango, or do you wish to watch my better half pound your better half into the ground?" the icy blue haired girl asks.
"Oh we'll just see who's better half wins." WordGirl replies and launches herself at the ice elemental.

Dare - dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare

"Did you see that!?" Zaniah shouts watching as Team Alphanumeric were holding their own against the elementals.
"That other elemental is entering the outer solar system." Tobey states.


Everybody's trying to break your spirit
Keeping you down
Seems like it's been forever
But there's another voice if you'll just hear it
Saying it's the last round
Looks like it's now or never
Out of the darkness you stumble into the light
Fighting for the things you know are right

'They've acquired some sort of new powers! How are they holding their own against us!" the fire user fumes. His anger was making his attacks more frantic and less focused.
"You're losing it." MathWiz states. The fire user growls and attacks only to receive a kick finally sending him to the concrete.

Dare - dare to believe you can survive
The power is there at your command
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare

In the air, the ice user was having a harder time of it than her fiery lover. Seeing that her elemental attacks weren't going to hit her opponent, she tries to match WordGirl strength for strength.
"Changed your strategy I see." WordGirl states catching all of the ice user's punches and throwing them back at her.
"What have you done to gain your new abilities!" she shouts.
"You've lost your way. I don't now what happened to you that would get you off the straight and narrow, but I'm not going to let the two of you destroy my home!"

Dare - dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
The power is there at your command

"Give up!" MathWiz commands as he sees that his lover had finally knocked the ice elemental to the ground as well.
"No! Never!" the fire wielder shouts trying to break the hold that MathWiz had on him.
"It's over!" WordGirl shouts as she had her opponent in the same sort of painful hold.

Dare - dare to keep all your love alive
Dare to be all you can be
Dare - 'cause there is a place where dreams survive
And it's calling you on to victory

"Unbelievable! they beat them!" Zaniah rails.
"I have to admit, Empress, they were quite impressive." Tobey states.
"Oh, they'll be impressive when I...," Zaniah starts but the ship is rocked by a wave of power and thrown out of Earth's orbit.

For the first time since their senseless destruction of the universe started, they had come up against an opponent that was more formidable than they were.
"Alright! You win We'll...," the fire wielder starts to say, but black bolts of bower hit the four of them knocking them to the ground.
"Ahahahahaha! Didn't expect to see me did you?" a figure in a black cloak with a black triton in his right hand laughs out. The fire users stands to his feet with a look of disbelief on his face.
"You? I thought we killed you back on our home world." the red head states.
"Oh, I only made it look like you vanquished me. However, I knew that you had become far too powerful for the citizens of your home world to let you stay. You were becoming freaks of nature to them. Did you forget that I can play on people's fears?" the dark one asks.
"You turned the people of our world against us by playing on their fears!?" the ice user shouts.
"Exactly. I knew it would only take something like the entire planet turning against you and you'd go dark. Now, join me and the three of us can run this universe." the dark one offers. MathWiz and WordGirl look at each other. If they had to deal with all three of them the odds weren't going to be in their favor.
"Join you? I'd rather live in absolute zero temperature than join you, you bastard! You did this to us! You used us to try and turn us into what we became!" the red head shouts.
"Do you realize how many people and planets we've destroyed!?" the ice wielder states.
"And didn't you enjoy it?" the dark one asks. The two look at each other. A mistake of galactic proportions had been made. They were going to correct it now.
"No! This time we'll finish you off once and for all!" the fire wielder states and the two launch themselves at the dark one. In a move that was almost too fast for WordGirl and MathWiz, the sharp points of the triton embed themselves in both chests of the former heroes. The two fall to the ground.
"Fools, do you really think could ever defeat?" the dark one asks.
"Tim," Becky whispers.
"Yeah," he replies quietly.
"Let's go get him." Becky states and Tim smiles. This fool didn't know what he was in for.

You got the touch
You got the power

After all is said and done
You've never walked, you've never run,
You're a winner

You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You're nobody's fool

You're at your best when the goin' gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

Two gold streak launch themselves at the dark one. His widen realizing that the other two were still up and ready for a fight. He had thought that they were dead and no longer to be a concern. Apparently they more of a threat than he thought. Quickly realizing that the triton was the main source of his abilities, Team Alphanumeric try to wrench it out of his grasp.
'They are just as strong or stronger than my former enemies! What is their source of power!?'

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

"Who are you?" the dark one asks trying to push his black aura against their combined gold one.
"We're Team Alphanumeric, and we don't take too kindly to dark creatures like you!" WordGirl shouts.
"Team Alphanumeric...,what a ridiculous name. No wonder you aren't known outside your own galaxy." the dark one states.
"Oh yeah? You won't think it's such a ridiculous name when we beat you." MathWiz growls and the two do a team kick sending him crashing into the sidewalk.

You never bend, you never break
You seem to know just what it takes
You're a fighter

It's in the blood, it's in the will
It's in the mighty hands of steel
When you're standin' your ground

And you never get hit when your back's to the wall
Gonna fight to the end and you're takin' it all

The dark one gets back to his feet quickly and starts throwing bolts of power that miss the duo but rip apart the sidewalk. MathWiz attempts to use his reflectors to reflect one of the bolts back at him, but all that does is break his reflectors.
'Damn, that throws that plan out the window.' he thinks and tosses the broken metal aside. Tubing would be able to repair it later. He catches the triton blow aimed at his head. However, a dark lance of power hits him in the chest.

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

WordGirl charges and kicks the hand that was holding the triton. The dark one quickly switches it to his left hand and tries to blast WordGirl away, but she avoids the blast and throws a punch. he blocks it with his triton and tries to fire a ball of black energy at her, but it too misses, but narrowly.

You're fightin' fire with fire
You know you got the touch

MathWiz stands back up and the two charge him again. This time, MathWiz went for the shoulder of the arm that was holding the triton and WordGirl attacks the hand that was holding the dark weapon. This appears to work as the weapon goes flying out of the dark one's hands.

You're at your best when the road gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

You got the touch
You got the power

"This isn't over, it's only the beginning!" the dark one states and summons his triton to him and vanishes in a black bolt of energy.
"C'mon! We've got to get them to the lab now!" WordGirl states and Team Alphanumeric pick the fallen elemental users and fly off.

***

'Perfect, this moon will be the perfect place for me to set up my base.' the dark one muses and raises his triton. Out of the crust of the surface of the moon, as if it had always been their, a black castle rises to the surface. 'Now, I must study and find out how they were able to counter me.' he thinks and vanishes inside.

***

"Get us back to our reality, now!" Zaniah shouts.
"We're not going to make a pact with...," Tobey begins but Zaniah cuts him off.
"I will not share my empire with no one!" Zaniah shouts and the ship vanishes back into its own reality.
