Mew Mew Power Part 16- Operation Boyfriend Rescue

“So that’s it. You can kiss Elliot goodbye!” Kiki said.
“I’m not leaving Elliot behind!” I said. Corina turned me around and faced me to the cynoclones.
“Elizabeth, are you blind?! Do you think 4 Mews -3 with power, 1 without- will be able to take that many cynoclones?” Corina said.
“We can take them! Just get the Seal when she’s not looking and I’ll get my powers back! Then we can use the Seal to control them.” I said.
“And we’ll all die in the process!” Corina said.
“So, do you want the whole world to suffer, when you could fight a battle that you will most likely win? –if you put your mind to it.” I said.
“That’s just it! We can’t win this battle!” Kiki said.
“Not with that attitude we can’t,” I said, “Renee?”
“I think we should go. Corina can grab the Seal by turning invisible.” Renee said.
“Now there’s someone I can rely on!” I said. “Are you in or not?” I asked Kiki and Corina.
“If you are so am I!” Kiki said. With a groan Corina nodded and we flew over to the Wedding.

There were passageways. One for the bride and one for the groom. We guessed that the one with the most security was the one where Kadma was hiding. I nodded at Corina and she turned invisible and went in. A security guard went passed us but just in time Renee grabbed me and flew up. We breathed out a sigh of relief. “Wait... How will Corina get the Seal passed the guards? She can’t turn other things invisible.” Kiki asked.
“Oh damn! Well, Kiki you could use your telekinesis to move the guard away or shut them up or something.” I said.
“No need for that!” someone said from behind us. We turned around to see Corina. “Got it outta there easy. So, Elizabeth get your powers back!” Corina said, handing me the Seal. I took it out of her hands. I didn’t know HOW to get my powers back.
“Fire bees come out.” I said. The others looked at me as if I had totally lost the plot. But to my –and their- surprise the black flies from before came out and buzzed around me. “Return to the Seal of Cynoclones.” I said. They stopped buzzing and got absorbed back into the Seal. I held out my hand and a fire ball appeared. “Yes!” I cheered. Then slapped a hand round my mouth and looked to the guards. They hadn’t heard me. “Guys, I’m not going to transform now. I need that element of surprise. And two of us need to go and get Wesley, Zoey and Bridget. I’m thinking Renee and Kiki because Corina can turn invisible and we need that edge.” I said.
“Right. We’ll go.” Kiki said. She and Renee flew off back the way we came. Corina flew to the ground taking me with her. She turned invisible and we slowly walked up to the altar. I still had the Seal with me so if any cynoclones tried to give us away I could always wave it in their face to shut them up. Elliot wasn’t there yet but Kadma was. I pushed passed one last cynoclone and stood in front of her. “How did you escape?” she said, staring at me, not noticing that I had something hidden behind my back. “Taf! Get me my Seal!” she yelled at him.
“He won’t be able to find it.” I stated.
“And why might that be?” she asked. I revealed what I was hiding behind me. She gasped, and then cackled. “You will still not be able to defeat me! The Seal is just a tiny speck of my power!” she said. “And a powerless Mew will NEVER be able to defeat ME!” she said.
“That’s where you’re wrong Kadma,” I said. I held onto my necklace and yelled “Power Pendant Mewtamorphosis!” I transformed, and stood in front of her. “What you got to say ‘bout that?” I said. The Seal I was holding suddenly disappeared from my hand and appeared in hers.
“You can never have what is rightfully mine!” she said. What a cheat! She lifted up her Seal and a strong power shot out of it.
“Fire Shield!” I yelled. I was holding it up but I could feel myself slipping, I couldn’t hold on much longer. I couldn’t see Corina but I could hear her thinking. “Anytime you wanna pitch in!” I said to her, still trying to hold my shield up. She was visible again, which took Kadma by surprise but she still carried on fighting. Corina blew out and Kadma was sent flying back and her white dress tore. I smiled gratefully and quickly ran forward and stood by her side. She sat up and looked at her torn and frayed dress.
“My dress!” she yelled. “Electric Storm!” She stuck out her palm and another power wave shot Corina down. She hit a few trees and fell to the ground.
“Corina!” I said, “That was my best friend!” I yelled at her. “Dragon Fury!” I screamed. Fire sent her flying backwards. She hit a lot of Cynoclones and the train part of her dress was ripped off completely. I could feel the anger growing inside of me. I ran to Corina and let her rest her head on my knees. The power had made her de-transform. She was totally out of it. I picked Corina up and flew over to where Kadma lay. I placed Corina on the ground and stood over Kadma. She looked at me, despising me. “You brat!” she said. She let out the fire bees again. I flew up into the air, as high as I could before they got to me. I de-transformed and dropped to the ground. This time Kadma was the one who stood over me. I stood up, but my knees felt like they were about to give away. She raised her Seal. “Any last words you want me to pass on to those dorky friends of yours -who helped you, escape- before I destroy you?” She asked me.
“You mean how much she loves us?” Zoey asked, flying in from the right and standing beside me.
“And what great friends we are?” Bridget asked, flying in from the left and grabbing the Seal off of Kadma and handing it to me. I quickly absorbed my power back, and transformed.
“And how we are like her sisters from another mister?” Kiki said, flying to my right.
“And how because of that, our convergence attacks are that much stronger?” Corina asked who had magically woken up and was now fully transformed. Renee flew over head and stood on my left.
“Convergence!” We all yelled together sticking out our fists. Kadma was sent flying. We couldn’t even see her anymore. We cheered and hugged each other.
“You think you can defeat ME?!” she screamed from above us. There were three familiar figures floating beside here. Dren, Sardon and Tarb.
“Aerial Tempest!” Sardon said.
“Lightning Ray!” Kadma yelled. Dren and Tarb just threw down mini bombs.
“Split up!” Bridget said, running off with Zoey. Corina ran off with Kiki. I grabbed Wesley, who had just come running into the picture, and Renee held onto him too and we flew away. They split up too. Dren and Tarb went after Bridget and Zoey. Sardon went after Corina and Kiki. Kadma came after us. I flew near to where Elliot could be. “Wesley, look around and escape with Elliot!” I said. Renee and I dropped Wesley and flew off.
“Cynoclones! ATTACK!” Kadma screamed. All the cynoclones came out and attacked us. I knew we were all being targeted and we needed to regroup and converge.
“Harmonic Attack!” Renee yelled.
“Dragon Rage!”
“Magical Echo!”
“Heat Storm!” I knew that at this rate we’ll all be goners. I telepathically told everyone to regroup. We flew back toward each other and we were floating in an outward circle. “Fire Wall!” I yelled. A wall of fire was enclosing us. Thousands of Cynoclones were firing at us and with each hit I could feel my shield getting weaker. I tried to hold it up, nevertheless.
“Guys, we need to help her!” Kiki said.
“Right!” Everyone else said. Their powers joined up with mine and fuelled my shield. I could feel it getting stronger, but knew that it wouldn’t last forever. “There’s too many of them!” Kiki said.
“If we split up, they would separate too!” Bridget said.
“But wouldn’t it be better to just shield?” Corina asked.
“Shut up and do what Bridg said!” Renee said.
“Keep your own shields up though!” I said.
“Vine Barrier!”
“Flame Shield!”
“Air Barrier!”
“Sound Shield!”
“Mew Mew Moon Shield!”
“Water Wall!” we used our shields to protect us and flew off in six different directions. The cynoclones split too –as we’d planned. I got Kadma and about 50 cynoclones. Once they’d been split up there really wasn’t very many. About 300 give or take a few. But they were really strong. I literally couldn’t hold on. Holding up my shield with one hand I used my other hand to attack. “Fire Fists!” I said. I flew so fast I almost flew straight into Bridget. We flew next to each other and whilst shielding spoke. “Can they swim?” I asked Bridget looking at the sea.
“Good idea!” Bridget said her eyes sparkling. “Tell the others!” she said. I spoke to them telepathically and had a mini countdown. “3...2...1... NOW!” I screamed as loud as I could. We dived into the sea and went as deep as we could. We swam toward each other under the water. I couldn’t hold my breath for much longer. I swam to the surface and stuck my head up as little as I could and took a big gasp of air. That’s when I realised, that all the cynoclones had gone! They weren’t on the shore. I stuck my head underwater and gestured for the others to come to the surface too. “They’ve gone?” Kiki said, flying up.
“Kiki, Get down!” Corina screamed.
“Corina, shut up!” I whispered. Zoey flew up to retrieve Kiki.
“Guys, they aren’t here. They are all crowded around the altar.” Zoey said. I flew up and the others flew up too, so that we could see what was going on.
“It’s an ambush!” Renee yelled, ducking, but she was too late.
“Got you!” Dren said, sticking his head up from nowhere. He through an invisible net over us and him, Sardon, Tarb and a few other cynoclones dragged us away. They dragged us right to Kadma. She laughed evilly and said, “Well done boys! You think, you can ruin my wedding? I will get this place cleaned up, put on another dress and my wedding will continue,” She said, “Throw this one in with them too.” She said. She threw Wesley in with us. He was bruised and hurting. The cynoclones dragged us away and chucked us into another cell.

My body was aching, yet all I could think about was Elliot getting married to that witch tomorrow. I had to break out of here and save Elliot. Wesley was lying on the corner, covered in dirt and he was still out cold and our powers were pretty much dead, so we couldn’t even use Bridget’s water to try and wake him up. The others were asleep, and Kiki was snoring like a warthog. Kiki, Bridget, Corina and Zoey were all huddled together, to try to keep warm. Not only was this cell pitch black, dirty and smelly it was freezing too. There was a door, but it was pretty much ten feet high. Know I know how Rapunzel felt, but at least she had proper living conditions there. Renee was squished into a corner too, but unlike the others she was awake and staring into space. I groaned as Kiki’s snoring got louder. “Shut up, Kiki!” I said. She stirred but then went back to bed. Renee looked at me and she crawled over too me.
“Let’s try and bust that door open.” Renee whispered.
“We don’t want to waste all our powers,” I whispered, “Cos we’ve got a mega battle coming.”
“Kiki’s telekinesis, right?” She could move them over.” Renee said.
“Go wake her up.” I said to her. Renee looked like she wanted to argue, but decided against it. She got up and walked over to where the others were all huddled up. She pulled Kiki out and carried her back to me.
“What’s going on?!” Kiki said, opening her eyes wide and glaring at us. When she realised it was just us, she jumped out of Renee’s arms. “Why did you wake me up?” Kiki asked.
“Sorry, but we need you to bust the door open with your telekinesis.” I said. She nodded. I thought she was going to transform but she jumped on the walls and climbed up. I don’t know how she did it. The wall was completely flat, so there was nothing she could hold onto. ‘How does she do that?” Renee mouthed at me. I just shrugged my shoulders and carried on looking at Kiki. Once she’d got to the door, she stood there for a moment or too, and then she jumped off of the wall and almost into the centre of the place. She could fall any minute. “Kiki!” Renee screamed, running forward. The others woke up and started screaming. Kiki just stood in mid air and pulled off the door, and gracefully landed on her feet. The door came tumbling after her, but she managed to get out of the way. “You did it!” I squealed running to her and hugging her.
“Well done!” Renee said.
“We can escape now!” Zoey said.
“No,” Wesley said, slowly sitting up, “You mustn’t.” We all looked at him as if he was crazy. “There’s no point attacking now. You know how strong they are. We have to wait and let fate do its thing.” He groaned and rubbed his forehead. He was still bleeding, but we had nothing to bandage him up with.
“You can’t just expect me to sit here, and wonder why bad things happen to good people,” I said, “And anyway, Kiki busted the door open and one of them is bound to see the door to our cell not being there. So I say the sooner we get out the better.”
“Yeah. I think we should get out while we can too. We can leave you on the boat, Wesley.” Kiki said.
“No! I can’t leave you girls alone. I have to be there, to help you.” Wesley said.
“No offence, but I don’t think you’ve got enough energy to help yourself, let alone US!” Corina said.
“But...” Wesley began
“We are wasting time! Let’s go!” Zoey said.
“Did you see Elliot?” I asked Wesley.
“Yes. He said he would do everything he could to not marry Kadma, and he said you girls should stay strong and fight till the end. And he wanted to say to you Elizabeth... that he... loved you and he will never stop loving you.” I couldn’t bear it. My eyes automatically filled with tears, and little droplets fell down my cheeks. Renee placed an arm on my shoulder.
“Hey, don’t cry. Elliot won’t marry Kadma, because we won’t let that happen. We will stop her... somehow.” Renee said. “Zoey and I will take Wesley back onto the boat. That way the four elements will be there.” Renee said. “Now let’s go!” She yanked me up and everyone else stood up too. They all looked at me expectantly. With a smile I grabbed onto my necklace and yelled “Power Pendant Mewtamorphosis!” Renee and Zoey grabbed Wesley and went out first. Then the rest of us flew up. The moon had already come out! I hadn’t realised how quickly the time had gone! We flew out of the door and back over to where the altar was. The cynoclones had all dispersed and the altar was completely abandoned. Kadma’s area was still completely guarded and this time Elliot’s area was guarded too. I looked at Corina and nodded my head. She turned invisible and walked over to the guards. I thought she was going to go in, but it turns out she was causing an argument between the guards. She shoved one of them, who immediately accused the other one of pushing him. She carried on like this, until all the guards were on the ground wrestling each other and zapping with their powers. We zoomed past them and they were too involved in their fight to notice us. We flew past and opened the door. Elliot was tied to the bed, and gagged. His eyes were wide open though. When he saw us he looked relieved. I ran to his side and looked to the door. “Kiki, lock it.” I said. She slammed it and the lock turned even though there was no key. I pulled at the gag and untied it. He breathed heavily.
“I can’t believe it! Thank you for coming. We are not taking that boat home, it’s too slow.” Elliot said, as I untied the ropes that were tying him to the bed.
“And who said, you’d even be GOING home?” Kadma said, appearing in the room. Corina went invisible, and Kiki slammed all the windows and doors shut. Bridget appeared at my side and helped me undo the knots tying Elliot to the bed. Kadma fell to the ground and she looked like she was grabbing at thin air –which she was. Corina was flying around over her and slamming Kadma to the ground and using her air power to distract her. Whenever Kadma tried to get up Kiki just pushed her back down again with her telekinesis, but I know that it is getting hard for her to control Kadma’s weight and power. We managed to untie Elliot whilst Kadma was still distracted. I pulled him out of the bed, I tried lifting but he was way too heavy for me. “Bridg, get the door!” I said. She ran to the door and pulled at the knob. That’s when I remembered that Kiki had bolted it. “Kiki!” I yelled, a little too loudly. Kiki turned around and saw what was going on. She lifted her hand and the door opened up. Bridget grabbed on to Elliot’s arms and we flew toward the door.
“You do realise, that I can walk, right?” Elliot said, once we were midway to the door.
“This way’s faster!” I said. We got to the door and just as we were about to fly out, Kadma appeared in front of us. I groaned, and it slowly turned into a mini tantrum. “It’s not fair!” I screamed, like a toddler. “Fire!” I yelled and I aimed at her, but she disappeared. Kadma pulled Elliot out of mine and Bridget’s grasp. Cynoclones ran in and seized Corina, Kiki, Bridget and me.
“I am not going in a bloody cell again!” Corina said. She turned invisible and kicked the guards off her. She punched all the guards and blew them away. Kadma grabbed into what seemed like thin air, but turned out to be Corina.
“You will not have to go back into that cell again. I’ll have my men tie stones to your legs and toss you into the sea.” She said.
“I don’t want to drown either!” Corina said.
“I’m sorry Kadma, but over the past sixteen years, I’ve grown quite fond of breathing!” I said. The guards stood up again and grabbed us again. Kadma walked over to me and put a sharp finger nail on my chin. I shook her off. “Get off of me, you witch!” I said to her, trying to kick her.
“You will pay more respect to your future queen!” the guards said to me. He yanked back my arm and I could feel something being pressed against my skin. I couldn’t feel anything, but I knew something was being pushed against my wrist. Kadma cocked her head and looked at me inquisitively. “Why is it not burning her?” she asked.
“You can’t burn something that is already on fire! My element is Fire unless you haven’t noticed!” I said. She glared at me, and then slapped me around the face. It was a sharp slap that knocked me off of my feet. It stung, but I managed not to cry out in pain. I bit my cheeks and prayed that I wouldn’t cry. She replaced her finger on my chin and before I could shake her off she said, “You seem relentless.”
“I guess I took lessons from you!” I spat. “Why can’t you just stop trying to marry him. He’s MY boyfriend! Please. You will find another person, you can love, just not my guy. Please!” I begged her. She just glared back at me. She looked at the guards and said, “Put extra rocks on this one.”

I was looking at the sea. I wasn’t transformed. It looked calm, but it also looked freezing. We were on the other side of the island to where the boat is, so there was no chance of them seeing it. Elliot had begged and pleaded with Kadma to let us go but the old hag didn’t agree. Bridget, Corina and Kiki all had two stones on them –one on each leg- I on the other hand had three on each leg. This was it. This was how I was going to die. Eight cynoclones dragged us up to a ledge, overlooking the sea. It looked much scarier now. The waves were crashing against the edge of the cliff. I gulped and looked at the others. Surprisingly none of them looked too scared. The first to go in was Kiki, and then Bridget and then Corina. Then it was me. They shoved me hard and I toppled toward the sea. I took a huge lump of air and fell into the sea. It was a sharp slap and I was reminded of when I was last in the sea. With Elliot... I couldn’t breathe. My lungs were burning and I was sinking further and further in. I shut my eyes and waited my fate. When suddenly the weight dragging me to the ocean floor were taken off of me. The water parted slightly and I was in an air bubble. I could breathe! I opened my eyes and saw Corina, Kiki and Bridget looking back at me. They were all in air bubbles too and their rocks had been taken off too. Their powers! They had used their magic! I was hugging them to me. I was so glad to be alive! “Let’s go get ‘em!” I said, “Power Pendant Mewtamorphosis!” We swam to the top off the surface and shot out of the sea. The cynoclones had turned around and were leaving. When we hit them from behind. Kiki lifted her hands, and the rocks lifted up by themselves. They tied themselves to the guards and Kiki pushed them into the sea. “Don’t hurt them! They were only doing what Kadma told them too!” Bridget said. Kiki stretched out her hand and just as they were about to fall into the sea, Kiki put them on the shore. “Since we have saved your lives you will no longer serve Kadma” Bridget said.
“Our allegiance is ALWAYS to Queen Kadma!” One of them said, standing up.
“Well ,we could always toss you back in...” Corina said.
“I would rather die than to serve you!” the same guy said.
“You will not be serving us. You will just no longer be fighting us.” Bridget said.
“We will fight with you!” one of them said, kneeling down. The other six nodded and knelt down too. We flew down toward them.
“You don’t have to kneel before us. We are not your Queen. We will help you, with whatever you need done.” I said, putting a shoulder on one of them and lifting him up. The others stood up too and stood behind us. Only one guy remained.
“Our planet is frozen! Nothing can be done! We need back what was rightfully ours!” he said.
“A LOT can be done! If you just give us a chance we can help you. My element is Fire. I can melt all the ice and snow. Just please.” I pleaded with him. He simply shook his head.
“That’s it! I’ve had enough! I’m chucking him in!” Kiki said. He was floating over the sea.
“Kiki, stop,” I said, “Let him live. Why do we have to kill him?” I said.
“He wants to die!” Kiki exclaimed.
“That’s just cos he doesn’t want to help us. We’re the good guys, remember Kiki? I said.
“Oh yeah.” She said, smiling. She brought him back to the beach and dropped him again.
“Just remember the good thing we’ve done for you. That’s all we ask.” Bridget said. We walked off leaving him on the beach. He was struggling to take off the rocks, so Kiki waved her hand and the rocks fell into the sea.
“What do you need us to do?” one of the guys asked.
“Just snoop around a bit. Find out exactly what she’s planning. Then come and tell us. And try to set Elliot free.” I said.
“If it’s not possible, don’t worry. Just tell your friends about us. And tell them that we’re the good guys.” Kiki said.
“And thank you for trusting us.” Bridget said.
“There is only one thing you must do for us Mew Mews.” One of them said. We stopped walking and turned to face them.
“And what’s that?” Corina asked.
“You must promise that you will help fix our planet after this battle is over.” He said.
“Oh of course! I promise!” Bridget said.
“I promise too.” Kiki said.
“And me.” Said Corina.
“And me.” I said. They were only fighting us, so that they could find a new home. It makes me feel guilty. I only realised that I had said it out loud when I could feel everyone’s eyes on me. “Well it’s true,” I said, “We’re destroying this beautiful planet, when these peaceful people could have it. We’re exploiting it. I mean think of how many trees we cut down. We are destroying the one thing that the Cynoclones treasure the most,” I said, “I feel so... so selfish.” I said.
“But that doesn’t give them the right to hurt innocent people on this planet.” Kiki said.
“We are not hurting anyone. We were on this planet before you were. We only left because we thought that we had found a better civilisation.” One of the cynoclones said.
“Can we have this debate later, please? We need to find Renee and Zoey.” Corina said. “Why don’t you guys head back and do that spying stuff for us, please.” She said to the Cynoclones, who had already started leaving.
“You don’t need to find us, cos we’re already here.” Zoey said, “And why are there umm Cynoclones with us?”
“Because, they said they’d help us if we help de-ice their planet.” I said.
“Help us with what? We haven’t exactly got a plan.” Bridget said. “We never HAVE had one. We just go into the battlefield and attack.”
“I thought, with you being as smart as you are, that you would know that there is a word for what we are doing.” I said. I looked at Bridget, who still looked blank. “Improvise! We don’t know, what Kadma has planned up her sleeve, so we go along with what happens.” I said.
“Yeah, but the last few times we did that, we almost always ended up in a bad state. First time, you were in a cell. Second time, all of us was in a cell. And the third time we almost died!” Bridget said.
“You guys almost died?!” Zoey asked.
“Yeah, they tied rocks to our feet and tossed us into the sea. But that isn’t the point. What’s our plan going to be, Elizabeth?” Bridget asked.
“How am I supposed to know? I don’t plan things out. I just go where life takes me. I’m not a planning sort of girl!” I said.
“That’s just cos you are really upset now. Just calm down and be your usual optimistic self.” Kiki said. I knew she was right, but I was too worried about Elliot.
“What would Kadma be doing to him this time? She tied and gagged him before, so what now? And what if he does get married to her? What are we supposed to do then? He was the one who started this whole thing!” I cried. That’s when Renee walked over to me and slapped me across the face.
“Pull yourself together!” she screamed. It hurt when she slapped. A lot actually. Renee was much stronger than I had expected. “I’ve been where you’ve been, Elizabeth.” She said. Corina stared at her.
“You never had a boyfriend who got married to someone else!” she said.
“Technically, Elliot isn’t actually married to Kadma yet.” Kiki said
“I was in a different situation. I used to be a lot like you, Elizabeth.” She said.
“Somehow, I find that very difficult to believe.” I said.
“But then I had a nervous breakdown the moment my family needed me the most and... well let’s just say things didn’t end well. And look how I ended up.” She said. Corina looked VERY confused now. I guess Renee never publicized her background but I knew the whole thing, because of my telepathy. “A cold, selfish, rich brat.” She said. I never thought that anybody would have the courage to say horrible things about themselves like that. I’d never accept it.
“Renee, I’m sure you aren’t a-”Bridget began
“No, stop. Sorry for the slap, but that’s what you needed. Now tell us what we have to do.” Renee said.
“You know what I’m saying is true. We can’t do anything.” I said, feeling like all hope was lost.
“Of course we can!” Kiki said.
“And I could just as easily say, of course we CAN’T.” I replied.
“Well you WON’T be saying it that easily.” Renee said.
“Seriously Elizabeth, this has gone on long enough.” Corina said.
“I want to see the fun Elizabeth, who is always brimming with amazing ideas and would do anything for her friends.” Zoey said.
“Someone who would never cry over a guy.”
“Who was strong-willed and independent.”
“But most of all a best friend.” This was enough to make me come up with about a billion ideas, all of which I turned down immediately. Right now I needed to rest, and so did everyone else. WE might be full of energy but it was practically the middle of the night and there was no possible way of us attacking. And that’s exactly what I said to them. “Seriously? After all this you just want to wait?” Corina asked. That’s when one of the Cynoclones ran up to us.
“We got some others to join us. There are about a hundred of us, willing to fight with you. We didn’t approach the others as they were all too caught up on destroying you.” He said. “And Kadma has used her magic to build a huge bridge. There isn’t any water running underneath it but she said it was for her and Elliot to walk over and wave to us after their wedding.”
“Who does she think she is? Bloody Kate Middleton?” Corina said. I smiled at her but continued to listen to the cynoclone.
“She said, that is how she is planning her first attack on Earth. She will destroy the nearest country and take over it.” He said.
“It’s gonna be like World War one all over again!” Kiki said.
“I think you mean two, Kiki. We’ve already had two world wars.” Bridget said.
“Right. But this time we won’t be fighting against each other, we’ll be fighting against aliens.” Kiki said. “Who’s gonna believe us when we yell ‘Aliens exist!’ They’ll just throw us in the loony bin.”
“They won’t believe that we are a group of teenage girls who happen to be mutants saving the Earth.” Zoey said.
“You’re not a mutant. You’re a Mew Mew. And we are on of humanities last hopes.” I said. Everyone smiled, as if they were aiming for me to say such a thing.
“Well I should get back, I’m leading the painting team.” He said. And with that he ran off.
“Boy, Kadma really is going the whole hog.” I said. “Anyway, why don’t we rest up and just attack tomorrow? No plan is good. Because the other person never follows the script.” I said. We had a laugh and went and slept under some trees.

I stretched out and yawned. The sun was shining brightly and it was bathing my skin in a bright light. The sun! It was already morning! “Guys! Get up.” I said urgently, shaking them all wildly. They stirred but didn’t get up. “It’s morning! We don’t know how far into the wedding they’ve already gone!” I said. That got everyone up. They jumped up faster than I could and started running in the direction of where the wedding was being held. I got up and ran after them. We stopped a few metres away and listened to see how far the priest had gotten with the wedding. “...Do you Elliot wish to marry Queen Kadma?” he asked. Elliot looked like he didn’t want to and as he was about to say it Kadma spoke up.
“Of course he does! And so do I. Otherwise we wouldn’t be here, would we? Now get on with it!” she said. I couldn’t take it. I saw where the bridge was and ran up on to it. I was looking down at Elliot.
“Don’t do it, Elliot!” I yelled, feeling tears sting my eyes. I felt a hand on my shoulder. Thinking it was one of the Mews, I brushed it off. Then the next time, the hand held on more tightly. I turned to see who it was. It was one of the guards. His mates had the other Mews. Kadma was looking up and said to the guard, “I thought they were killed? Never mind, kill them now!” she said.
“No!” Elliot said. She smiled at him.
“Since you will be my husband in a few minutes, I guess I could let your one wish come true.” She said. “Keep hold of them. They are not to move!” she said. Hot tears rolled down my cheeks as I watched.
“I’m sorry, Elizabeth. I will always love you.” Elliot whispered. I knew nobody else could hear it. I was the only person who could hear it. And that’s when I knew that I couldn’t let this happen. No matter what. I was about to jump, when the Mews and I started glowing, in a rich bluey colour. My necklace –the one Elliot had given to me on my birthday- opened up and a bright blue light seeped out. The guards let go of me and I swan dived off of the bridge. “Elizabeth!” someone screamed. But I didn’t know who, as I was blinded by the beauty and the brightness of the light. I felt myself hit the ground and someone picked me up, grabbing my hands. I shut my eyes, and I could feel myself drifting away...

Description
Mew Mew Power Part 16- Operation Boyfriend Rescue

“So that’s it. You can kiss Elliot goodbye!” Kiki said.
“I’m not leaving Elliot behind!” I said. Corina turned me around and faced me to the cynoclones.
“Elizabeth, are you blind?! Do you think 4 Mews -3 with power, 1 without- will be able to take that many cynoclones?” Corina said.
“We can take them! Just get the Seal when she’s not looking and I’ll get my powers back! Then we can use the Seal to control them.” I said.
“And we’ll all die in the process!” Corina said.
“So, do you want the whole world to suffer, when you could fight a battle that you will most likely win? –if you put your mind to it.” I said.
“That’s just it! We can’t win this battle!” Kiki said.
“Not with that attitude we can’t,” I said, “Renee?”
“I think we should go. Corina can grab the Seal by turning invisible.” Renee said.
“Now there’s someone I can rely on!” I said. “Are you in or not?” I asked Kiki and Corina.
“If you are so am I!” Kiki said. With a groan Corina nodded and we flew over to the Wedding.

There were passageways. One for the bride and one for the groom. We guessed that the one with the most security was the one where Kadma was hiding. I nodded at Corina and she turned invisible and went in. A security guard went passed us but just in time Renee grabbed me and flew up. We breathed out a sigh of relief. “Wait... How will Corina get the Seal passed the guards? She can’t turn other things invisible.” Kiki asked.
“Oh damn! Well, Kiki you could use your telekinesis to move the guard away or shut them up or something.” I said.
“No need for that!” someone said from behind us. We turned around to see Corina. “Got it outta there easy. So, Elizabeth get your powers back!” Corina said, handing me the Seal. I took it out of her hands. I didn’t know HOW to get my powers back.
“Fire bees come out.” I said. The others looked at me as if I had totally lost the plot. But to my –and their- surprise the black flies from before came out and buzzed around me. “Return to the Seal of Cynoclones.” I said. They stopped buzzing and got absorbed back into the Seal. I held out my hand and a fire ball appeared. “Yes!” I cheered. Then slapped a hand round my mouth and looked to the guards. They hadn’t heard me. “Guys, I’m not going to transform now. I need that element of surprise. And two of us need to go and get Wesley, Zoey and Bridget. I’m thinking Renee and Kiki because Corina can turn invisible and we need that edge.” I said.
“Right. We’ll go.” Kiki said. She and Renee flew off back the way we came. Corina flew to the ground taking me with her. She turned invisible and we slowly walked up to the altar. I still had the Seal with me so if any cynoclones tried to give us away I could always wave it in their face to shut them up. Elliot wasn’t there yet but Kadma was. I pushed passed one last cynoclone and stood in front of her. “How did you escape?” she said, staring at me, not noticing that I had something hidden behind my back. “Taf! Get me my Seal!” she yelled at him.
“He won’t be able to find it.” I stated.
“And why might that be?” she asked. I revealed what I was hiding behind me. She gasped, and then cackled. “You will still not be able to defeat me! The Seal is just a tiny speck of my power!” she said. “And a powerless Mew will NEVER be able to defeat ME!” she said.
“That’s where you’re wrong Kadma,” I said. I held onto my necklace and yelled “Power Pendant Mewtamorphosis!” I transformed, and stood in front of her. “What you got to say ‘bout that?” I said. The Seal I was holding suddenly disappeared from my hand and appeared in hers.
“You can never have what is rightfully mine!” she said. What a cheat! She lifted up her Seal and a strong power shot out of it.
“Fire Shield!” I yelled. I was holding it up but I could feel myself slipping, I couldn’t hold on much longer. I couldn’t see Corina but I could hear her thinking. “Anytime you wanna pitch in!” I said to her, still trying to hold my shield up. She was visible again, which took Kadma by surprise but she still carried on fighting. Corina blew out and Kadma was sent flying back and her white dress tore. I smiled gratefully and quickly ran forward and stood by her side. She sat up and looked at her torn and frayed dress.
“My dress!” she yelled. “Electric Storm!” She stuck out her palm and another power wave shot Corina down. She hit a few trees and fell to the ground.
“Corina!” I said, “That was my best friend!” I yelled at her. “Dragon Fury!” I screamed. Fire sent her flying backwards. She hit a lot of Cynoclones and the train part of her dress was ripped off completely. I could feel the anger growing inside of me. I ran to Corina and let her rest her head on my knees. The power had made her de-transform. She was totally out of it. I picked Corina up and flew over to where Kadma lay. I placed Corina on the ground and stood over Kadma. She looked at me, despising me. “You brat!” she said. She let out the fire bees again. I flew up into the air, as high as I could before they got to me. I de-transformed and dropped to the ground. This time Kadma was the one who stood over me. I stood up, but my knees felt like they were about to give away. She raised her Seal. “Any last words you want me to pass on to those dorky friends of yours -who helped you, escape- before I destroy you?” She asked me.
“You mean how much she loves us?” Zoey asked, flying in from the right and standing beside me.
“And what great friends we are?” Bridget asked, flying in from the left and grabbing the Seal off of Kadma and handing it to me. I quickly absorbed my power back, and transformed.
“And how we are like her sisters from another mister?” Kiki said, flying to my right.
“And how because of that, our convergence attacks are that much stronger?” Corina asked who had magically woken up and was now fully transformed. Renee flew over head and stood on my left.
“Convergence!” We all yelled together sticking out our fists. Kadma was sent flying. We couldn’t even see her anymore. We cheered and hugged each other.
“You think you can defeat ME?!” she screamed from above us. There were three familiar figures floating beside here. Dren, Sardon and Tarb.
“Aerial Tempest!” Sardon said.
“Lightning Ray!” Kadma yelled. Dren and Tarb just threw down mini bombs.
“Split up!” Bridget said, running off with Zoey. Corina ran off with Kiki. I grabbed Wesley, who had just come running into the picture, and Renee held onto him too and we flew away. They split up too. Dren and Tarb went after Bridget and Zoey. Sardon went after Corina and Kiki. Kadma came after us. I flew near to where Elliot could be. “Wesley, look around and escape with Elliot!” I said. Renee and I dropped Wesley and flew off.
“Cynoclones! ATTACK!” Kadma screamed. All the cynoclones came out and attacked us. I knew we were all being targeted and we needed to regroup and converge.
“Harmonic Attack!” Renee yelled.
“Dragon Rage!”
“Magical Echo!”
“Heat Storm!” I knew that at this rate we’ll all be goners. I telepathically told everyone to regroup. We flew back toward each other and we were floating in an outward circle. “Fire Wall!” I yelled. A wall of fire was enclosing us. Thousands of Cynoclones were firing at us and with each hit I could feel my shield getting weaker. I tried to hold it up, nevertheless.
“Guys, we need to help her!” Kiki said.
“Right!” Everyone else said. Their powers joined up with mine and fuelled my shield. I could feel it getting stronger, but knew that it wouldn’t last forever. “There’s too many of them!” Kiki said.
“If we split up, they would separate too!” Bridget said.
“But wouldn’t it be better to just shield?” Corina asked.
“Shut up and do what Bridg said!” Renee said.
“Keep your own shields up though!” I said.
“Vine Barrier!”
“Flame Shield!”
“Air Barrier!”
“Sound Shield!”
“Mew Mew Moon Shield!”
“Water Wall!” we used our shields to protect us and flew off in six different directions. The cynoclones split too –as we’d planned. I got Kadma and about 50 cynoclones. Once they’d been split up there really wasn’t very many. About 300 give or take a few. But they were really strong. I literally couldn’t hold on. Holding up my shield with one hand I used my other hand to attack. “Fire Fists!” I said. I flew so fast I almost flew straight into Bridget. We flew next to each other and whilst shielding spoke. “Can they swim?” I asked Bridget looking at the sea.
“Good idea!” Bridget said her eyes sparkling. “Tell the others!” she said. I spoke to them telepathically and had a mini countdown. “3...2...1... NOW!” I screamed as loud as I could. We dived into the sea and went as deep as we could. We swam toward each other under the water. I couldn’t hold my breath for much longer. I swam to the surface and stuck my head up as little as I could and took a big gasp of air. That’s when I realised, that all the cynoclones had gone! They weren’t on the shore. I stuck my head underwater and gestured for the others to come to the surface too. “They’ve gone?” Kiki said, flying up.
“Kiki, Get down!” Corina screamed.
“Corina, shut up!” I whispered. Zoey flew up to retrieve Kiki.
“Guys, they aren’t here. They are all crowded around the altar.” Zoey said. I flew up and the others flew up too, so that we could see what was going on.
“It’s an ambush!” Renee yelled, ducking, but she was too late.
“Got you!” Dren said, sticking his head up from nowhere. He through an invisible net over us and him, Sardon, Tarb and a few other cynoclones dragged us away. They dragged us right to Kadma. She laughed evilly and said, “Well done boys! You think, you can ruin my wedding? I will get this place cleaned up, put on another dress and my wedding will continue,” She said, “Throw this one in with them too.” She said. She threw Wesley in with us. He was bruised and hurting. The cynoclones dragged us away and chucked us into another cell.

My body was aching, yet all I could think about was Elliot getting married to that witch tomorrow. I had to break out of here and save Elliot. Wesley was lying on the corner, covered in dirt and he was still out cold and our powers were pretty much dead, so we couldn’t even use Bridget’s water to try and wake him up. The others were asleep, and Kiki was snoring like a warthog. Kiki, Bridget, Corina and Zoey were all huddled together, to try to keep warm. Not only was this cell pitch black, dirty and smelly it was freezing too. There was a door, but it was pretty much ten feet high. Know I know how Rapunzel felt, but at least she had proper living conditions there. Renee was squished into a corner too, but unlike the others she was awake and staring into space. I groaned as Kiki’s snoring got louder. “Shut up, Kiki!” I said. She stirred but then went back to bed. Renee looked at me and she crawled over too me.
“Let’s try and bust that door open.” Renee whispered.
“We don’t want to waste all our powers,” I whispered, “Cos we’ve got a mega battle coming.”
“Kiki’s telekinesis, right?” She could move them over.” Renee said.
“Go wake her up.” I said to her. Renee looked like she wanted to argue, but decided against it. She got up and walked over to where the others were all huddled up. She pulled Kiki out and carried her back to me.
“What’s going on?!” Kiki said, opening her eyes wide and glaring at us. When she realised it was just us, she jumped out of Renee’s arms. “Why did you wake me up?” Kiki asked.
“Sorry, but we need you to bust the door open with your telekinesis.” I said. She nodded. I thought she was going to transform but she jumped on the walls and climbed up. I don’t know how she did it. The wall was completely flat, so there was nothing she could hold onto. ‘How does she do that?” Renee mouthed at me. I just shrugged my shoulders and carried on looking at Kiki. Once she’d got to the door, she stood there for a moment or too, and then she jumped off of the wall and almost into the centre of the place. She could fall any minute. “Kiki!” Renee screamed, running forward. The others woke up and started screaming. Kiki just stood in mid air and pulled off the door, and gracefully landed on her feet. The door came tumbling after her, but she managed to get out of the way. “You did it!” I squealed running to her and hugging her.
“Well done!” Renee said.
“We can escape now!” Zoey said.
“No,” Wesley said, slowly sitting up, “You mustn’t.” We all looked at him as if he was crazy. “There’s no point attacking now. You know how strong they are. We have to wait and let fate do its thing.” He groaned and rubbed his forehead. He was still bleeding, but we had nothing to bandage him up with.
“You can’t just expect me to sit here, and wonder why bad things happen to good people,” I said, “And anyway, Kiki busted the door open and one of them is bound to see the door to our cell not being there. So I say the sooner we get out the better.”
“Yeah. I think we should get out while we can too. We can leave you on the boat, Wesley.” Kiki said.
“No! I can’t leave you girls alone. I have to be there, to help you.” Wesley said.
“No offence, but I don’t think you’ve got enough energy to help yourself, let alone US!” Corina said.
“But...” Wesley began
“We are wasting time! Let’s go!” Zoey said.
“Did you see Elliot?” I asked Wesley.
“Yes. He said he would do everything he could to not marry Kadma, and he said you girls should stay strong and fight till the end. And he wanted to say to you Elizabeth... that he... loved you and he will never stop loving you.” I couldn’t bear it. My eyes automatically filled with tears, and little droplets fell down my cheeks. Renee placed an arm on my shoulder.
“Hey, don’t cry. Elliot won’t marry Kadma, because we won’t let that happen. We will stop her... somehow.” Renee said. “Zoey and I will take Wesley back onto the boat. That way the four elements will be there.” Renee said. “Now let’s go!” She yanked me up and everyone else stood up too. They all looked at me expectantly. With a smile I grabbed onto my necklace and yelled “Power Pendant Mewtamorphosis!” Renee and Zoey grabbed Wesley and went out first. Then the rest of us flew up. The moon had already come out! I hadn’t realised how quickly the time had gone! We flew out of the door and back over to where the altar was. The cynoclones had all dispersed and the altar was completely abandoned. Kadma’s area was still completely guarded and this time Elliot’s area was guarded too. I looked at Corina and nodded my head. She turned invisible and walked over to the guards. I thought she was going to go in, but it turns out she was causing an argument between the guards. She shoved one of them, who immediately accused the other one of pushing him. She carried on like this, until all the guards were on the ground wrestling each other and zapping with their powers. We zoomed past them and they were too involved in their fight to notice us. We flew past and opened the door. Elliot was tied to the bed, and gagged. His eyes were wide open though. When he saw us he looked relieved. I ran to his side and looked to the door. “Kiki, lock it.” I said. She slammed it and the lock turned even though there was no key. I pulled at the gag and untied it. He breathed heavily.
“I can’t believe it! Thank you for coming. We are not taking that boat home, it’s too slow.” Elliot said, as I untied the ropes that were tying him to the bed.
“And who said, you’d even be GOING home?” Kadma said, appearing in the room. Corina went invisible, and Kiki slammed all the windows and doors shut. Bridget appeared at my side and helped me undo the knots tying Elliot to the bed. Kadma fell to the ground and she looked like she was grabbing at thin air –which she was. Corina was flying around over her and slamming Kadma to the ground and using her air power to distract her. Whenever Kadma tried to get up Kiki just pushed her back down again with her telekinesis, but I know that it is getting hard for her to control Kadma’s weight and power. We managed to untie Elliot whilst Kadma was still distracted. I pulled him out of the bed, I tried lifting but he was way too heavy for me. “Bridg, get the door!” I said. She ran to the door and pulled at the knob. That’s when I remembered that Kiki had bolted it. “Kiki!” I yelled, a little too loudly. Kiki turned around and saw what was going on. She lifted her hand and the door opened up. Bridget grabbed on to Elliot’s arms and we flew toward the door.
“You do realise, that I can walk, right?” Elliot said, once we were midway to the door.
“This way’s faster!” I said. We got to the door and just as we were about to fly out, Kadma appeared in front of us. I groaned, and it slowly turned into a mini tantrum. “It’s not fair!” I screamed, like a toddler. “Fire!” I yelled and I aimed at her, but she disappeared. Kadma pulled Elliot out of mine and Bridget’s grasp. Cynoclones ran in and seized Corina, Kiki, Bridget and me.
“I am not going in a bloody cell again!” Corina said. She turned invisible and kicked the guards off her. She punched all the guards and blew them away. Kadma grabbed into what seemed like thin air, but turned out to be Corina.
“You will not have to go back into that cell again. I’ll have my men tie stones to your legs and toss you into the sea.” She said.
“I don’t want to drown either!” Corina said.
“I’m sorry Kadma, but over the past sixteen years, I’ve grown quite fond of breathing!” I said. The guards stood up again and grabbed us again. Kadma walked over to me and put a sharp finger nail on my chin. I shook her off. “Get off of me, you witch!” I said to her, trying to kick her.
“You will pay more respect to your future queen!” the guards said to me. He yanked back my arm and I could feel something being pressed against my skin. I couldn’t feel anything, but I knew something was being pushed against my wrist. Kadma cocked her head and looked at me inquisitively. “Why is it not burning her?” she asked.
“You can’t burn something that is already on fire! My element is Fire unless you haven’t noticed!” I said. She glared at me, and then slapped me around the face. It was a sharp slap that knocked me off of my feet. It stung, but I managed not to cry out in pain. I bit my cheeks and prayed that I wouldn’t cry. She replaced her finger on my chin and before I could shake her off she said, “You seem relentless.”
“I guess I took lessons from you!” I spat. “Why can’t you just stop trying to marry him. He’s MY boyfriend! Please. You will find another person, you can love, just not my guy. Please!” I begged her. She just glared back at me. She looked at the guards and said, “Put extra rocks on this one.”

I was looking at the sea. I wasn’t transformed. It looked calm, but it also looked freezing. We were on the other side of the island to where the boat is, so there was no chance of them seeing it. Elliot had begged and pleaded with Kadma to let us go but the old hag didn’t agree. Bridget, Corina and Kiki all had two stones on them –one on each leg- I on the other hand had three on each leg. This was it. This was how I was going to die. Eight cynoclones dragged us up to a ledge, overlooking the sea. It looked much scarier now. The waves were crashing against the edge of the cliff. I gulped and looked at the others. Surprisingly none of them looked too scared. The first to go in was Kiki, and then Bridget and then Corina. Then it was me. They shoved me hard and I toppled toward the sea. I took a huge lump of air and fell into the sea. It was a sharp slap and I was reminded of when I was last in the sea. With Elliot... I couldn’t breathe. My lungs were burning and I was sinking further and further in. I shut my eyes and waited my fate. When suddenly the weight dragging me to the ocean floor were taken off of me. The water parted slightly and I was in an air bubble. I could breathe! I opened my eyes and saw Corina, Kiki and Bridget looking back at me. They were all in air bubbles too and their rocks had been taken off too. Their powers! They had used their magic! I was hugging them to me. I was so glad to be alive! “Let’s go get ‘em!” I said, “Power Pendant Mewtamorphosis!” We swam to the top off the surface and shot out of the sea. The cynoclones had turned around and were leaving. When we hit them from behind. Kiki lifted her hands, and the rocks lifted up by themselves. They tied themselves to the guards and Kiki pushed them into the sea. “Don’t hurt them! They were only doing what Kadma told them too!” Bridget said. Kiki stretched out her hand and just as they were about to fall into the sea, Kiki put them on the shore. “Since we have saved your lives you will no longer serve Kadma” Bridget said.
“Our allegiance is ALWAYS to Queen Kadma!” One of them said, standing up.
“Well ,we could always toss you back in...” Corina said.
“I would rather die than to serve you!” the same guy said.
“You will not be serving us. You will just no longer be fighting us.” Bridget said.
“We will fight with you!” one of them said, kneeling down. The other six nodded and knelt down too. We flew down toward them.
“You don’t have to kneel before us. We are not your Queen. We will help you, with whatever you need done.” I said, putting a shoulder on one of them and lifting him up. The others stood up too and stood behind us. Only one guy remained.
“Our planet is frozen! Nothing can be done! We need back what was rightfully ours!” he said.
“A LOT can be done! If you just give us a chance we can help you. My element is Fire. I can melt all the ice and snow. Just please.” I pleaded with him. He simply shook his head.
“That’s it! I’ve had enough! I’m chucking him in!” Kiki said. He was floating over the sea.
“Kiki, stop,” I said, “Let him live. Why do we have to kill him?” I said.
“He wants to die!” Kiki exclaimed.
“That’s just cos he doesn’t want to help us. We’re the good guys, remember Kiki? I said.
“Oh yeah.” She said, smiling. She brought him back to the beach and dropped him again.
“Just remember the good thing we’ve done for you. That’s all we ask.” Bridget said. We walked off leaving him on the beach. He was struggling to take off the rocks, so Kiki waved her hand and the rocks fell into the sea.
“What do you need us to do?” one of the guys asked.
“Just snoop around a bit. Find out exactly what she’s planning. Then come and tell us. And try to set Elliot free.” I said.
“If it’s not possible, don’t worry. Just tell your friends about us. And tell them that we’re the good guys.” Kiki said.
“And thank you for trusting us.” Bridget said.
“There is only one thing you must do for us Mew Mews.” One of them said. We stopped walking and turned to face them.
“And what’s that?” Corina asked.
“You must promise that you will help fix our planet after this battle is over.” He said.
“Oh of course! I promise!” Bridget said.
“I promise too.” Kiki said.
“And me.” Said Corina.
“And me.” I said. They were only fighting us, so that they could find a new home. It makes me feel guilty. I only realised that I had said it out loud when I could feel everyone’s eyes on me. “Well it’s true,” I said, “We’re destroying this beautiful planet, when these peaceful people could have it. We’re exploiting it. I mean think of how many trees we cut down. We are destroying the one thing that the Cynoclones treasure the most,” I said, “I feel so... so selfish.” I said.
“But that doesn’t give them the right to hurt innocent people on this planet.” Kiki said.
“We are not hurting anyone. We were on this planet before you were. We only left because we thought that we had found a better civilisation.” One of the cynoclones said.
“Can we have this debate later, please? We need to find Renee and Zoey.” Corina said. “Why don’t you guys head back and do that spying stuff for us, please.” She said to the Cynoclones, who had already started leaving.
“You don’t need to find us, cos we’re already here.” Zoey said, “And why are there umm Cynoclones with us?”
“Because, they said they’d help us if we help de-ice their planet.” I said.
“Help us with what? We haven’t exactly got a plan.” Bridget said. “We never HAVE had one. We just go into the battlefield and attack.”
“I thought, with you being as smart as you are, that you would know that there is a word for what we are doing.” I said. I looked at Bridget, who still looked blank. “Improvise! We don’t know, what Kadma has planned up her sleeve, so we go along with what happens.” I said.
“Yeah, but the last few times we did that, we almost always ended up in a bad state. First time, you were in a cell. Second time, all of us was in a cell. And the third time we almost died!” Bridget said.
“You guys almost died?!” Zoey asked.
“Yeah, they tied rocks to our feet and tossed us into the sea. But that isn’t the point. What’s our plan going to be, Elizabeth?” Bridget asked.
“How am I supposed to know? I don’t plan things out. I just go where life takes me. I’m not a planning sort of girl!” I said.
“That’s just cos you are really upset now. Just calm down and be your usual optimistic self.” Kiki said. I knew she was right, but I was too worried about Elliot.
“What would Kadma be doing to him this time? She tied and gagged him before, so what now? And what if he does get married to her? What are we supposed to do then? He was the one who started this whole thing!” I cried. That’s when Renee walked over to me and slapped me across the face.
“Pull yourself together!” she screamed. It hurt when she slapped. A lot actually. Renee was much stronger than I had expected. “I’ve been where you’ve been, Elizabeth.” She said. Corina stared at her.
“You never had a boyfriend who got married to someone else!” she said.
“Technically, Elliot isn’t actually married to Kadma yet.” Kiki said
“I was in a different situation. I used to be a lot like you, Elizabeth.” She said.
“Somehow, I find that very difficult to believe.” I said.
“But then I had a nervous breakdown the moment my family needed me the most and... well let’s just say things didn’t end well. And look how I ended up.” She said. Corina looked VERY confused now. I guess Renee never publicized her background but I knew the whole thing, because of my telepathy. “A cold, selfish, rich brat.” She said. I never thought that anybody would have the courage to say horrible things about themselves like that. I’d never accept it.
“Renee, I’m sure you aren’t a-”Bridget began
“No, stop. Sorry for the slap, but that’s what you needed. Now tell us what we have to do.” Renee said.
“You know what I’m saying is true. We can’t do anything.” I said, feeling like all hope was lost.
“Of course we can!” Kiki said.
“And I could just as easily say, of course we CAN’T.” I replied.
“Well you WON’T be saying it that easily.” Renee said.
“Seriously Elizabeth, this has gone on long enough.” Corina said.
“I want to see the fun Elizabeth, who is always brimming with amazing ideas and would do anything for her friends.” Zoey said.
“Someone who would never cry over a guy.”
“Who was strong-willed and independent.”
“But most of all a best friend.” This was enough to make me come up with about a billion ideas, all of which I turned down immediately. Right now I needed to rest, and so did everyone else. WE might be full of energy but it was practically the middle of the night and there was no possible way of us attacking. And that’s exactly what I said to them. “Seriously? After all this you just want to wait?” Corina asked. That’s when one of the Cynoclones ran up to us.
“We got some others to join us. There are about a hundred of us, willing to fight with you. We didn’t approach the others as they were all too caught up on destroying you.” He said. “And Kadma has used her magic to build a huge bridge. There isn’t any water running underneath it but she said it was for her and Elliot to walk over and wave to us after their wedding.”
“Who does she think she is? Bloody Kate Middleton?” Corina said. I smiled at her but continued to listen to the cynoclone.
“She said, that is how she is planning her first attack on Earth. She will destroy the nearest country and take over it.” He said.
“It’s gonna be like World War one all over again!” Kiki said.
“I think you mean two, Kiki. We’ve already had two world wars.” Bridget said.
“Right. But this time we won’t be fighting against each other, we’ll be fighting against aliens.” Kiki said. “Who’s gonna believe us when we yell ‘Aliens exist!’ They’ll just throw us in the loony bin.”
“They won’t believe that we are a group of teenage girls who happen to be mutants saving the Earth.” Zoey said.
“You’re not a mutant. You’re a Mew Mew. And we are on of humanities last hopes.” I said. Everyone smiled, as if they were aiming for me to say such a thing.
“Well I should get back, I’m leading the painting team.” He said. And with that he ran off.
“Boy, Kadma really is going the whole hog.” I said. “Anyway, why don’t we rest up and just attack tomorrow? No plan is good. Because the other person never follows the script.” I said. We had a laugh and went and slept under some trees.

I stretched out and yawned. The sun was shining brightly and it was bathing my skin in a bright light. The sun! It was already morning! “Guys! Get up.” I said urgently, shaking them all wildly. They stirred but didn’t get up. “It’s morning! We don’t know how far into the wedding they’ve already gone!” I said. That got everyone up. They jumped up faster than I could and started running in the direction of where the wedding was being held. I got up and ran after them. We stopped a few metres away and listened to see how far the priest had gotten with the wedding. “...Do you Elliot wish to marry Queen Kadma?” he asked. Elliot looked like he didn’t want to and as he was about to say it Kadma spoke up.
“Of course he does! And so do I. Otherwise we wouldn’t be here, would we? Now get on with it!” she said. I couldn’t take it. I saw where the bridge was and ran up on to it. I was looking down at Elliot.
