N is for Narcissist

Part 1

"W".I.T.C.H. was standing in Kandrakar.

'So, Nerissa's new minions, these 'Knights of Destruction', attacked you and your families?' Halinor, former Guardian of fire, asked.

'And they attacked my Keeper and Matt.' "Will" said sadly.

'Yet I foresaw none of it.' the Oracle said. 'I suspect Nerissa has tempered with my powers as a Seer.'

'Nerissa has tempered with your powers?' "Will" asked. 'But, honorable Oracle, she could only have done that by actually touching you.'

'I know but I'm afraid that only deep meditation will reveal the truth.' the Oracle said.

'Take your time.' Cornelia said. 'We'll totally wait.'

'No!' The Mage said. 'You must return to Earth. Until the Oracle regains his sight, you five are the eyes of the Council.'

'Oh, great!' Hay-Lin said sarcastic. 'Now I feel guilty everytime I blink!'

At this "Will" shook her head. She then took the Heart itself and opened a fold to Earth.

'Heart, I am glad that you are capable of replacing the Keeper temporarily. I will try to find her as soon as possible.' the Oracle said.

The Heart bowed her head. 'Thank you.' She then walked through the fold, followed by Hay-Lin.

'Ugh. So much for ditching the PTA carwash fund raiser.' Cornelia said disappointed.

'The Cornelia I know, spends fund. She doesn't raise them.' Taranee said.

'Exactly!' Cornelia said, glad that someone agreed with her. 'But my dad insisted. So that's why I signed you guys up too!'

With that she walked through the fold.

In the background Irma and Taranee were looking as if they could kill Cornelia. They then followed Cornelia through the fold.

As the fold to Earth closed, another opened. Through the fold flew a platform, decorated with spikes and a catapult. On it were standing the Knights of Destruction. The platform flew slowly towards the fortress.

'Ah, back in Kandrakar.' Zafyra said. 'So beautiful, so peaceful.'
She crossed her arms and a ring, which looked like a snake's head embedded with a blue stone, became visible.

'Let's fix that.' Shagon said maliciously.

At Sheffield Institute.

'I can't believe you signed us up for the carwash, without even asking!' Irma yelled.

'Come on! It's for a good cause!' Cornelia said. 'Me.'

'Wow.' Taranee said sarcastically. 'Narcissist much.'

They then looked at "Will", wanting to know her opinion. "Will" pulled of her T-shirt.
'Yeah, Will's mother signed her already up too, so I'm bound to it.' she said. 'But it would take less if you guys came.'

'We can have a water fight!' Hay-Lin said happily.

Irma looked sarcastically at her bubbly friend.
'Oh yeah, there's something I never do.' she said sarcastically.

Later on, outside at the carwash.

The girls were looking around, watching people who were already cleaning cars.

'See.' Hay-Lin said. 'This doesn't look so bad.'

'Eeew! Yes it does!' Cornelia said as she pointed at someone. 'Coach O'Neill in cutoff!'

Hay-Lin and "Will" looked at the sight and both shuddered when they saw him.
'Eew.' they said.

'Brr.' Cornelia said as she shuddered as well and closed her eyes. 'I'm like..blind!'

'Oh Will!' Mrs. Knickerbocker said when she saw the girls. 'There you are! Your mother needs help. You come too, Hay-Lin.'

"Will" and Hay-Lin went to help Mrs. Vandom when another voice called out.

'Oh Cornelia!' Mr. Hale said. 'Sweet heart! Over here!'

Cornelia, Irma and Taranee went to Mr. Hale, who was standing next to a filthy bus.

'Ready for some good, clean fun?' he asked the girls.

He gave Cornelia a sponge, which she picked up with two fingers.

'Oh, totally dad.' she said sarcastic. 'We all are.' With that she threw the sponge at Irma, hitting her in the chest.

'I swear I'll get her for this.' Irma muttered darkly as she and Taranee got to work.

"Will" and Hay-Lin had a little more luck.

'Why don't you all start here?' Mrs. Knickerbocker said as she pointed at a car.

Just then, Tony Vandom, Will's father came driving by. Tony, who left his family 12 years ago, returned a couple of days ago. While the Heart knew that her Keeper would be happy she also knew that the Keeper's mother was less than happy with the sudden appearance of her husband.

'This spot taken?' he said.

"Will", Hay-Lin, Mr. Collins and Mrs. Vandom turned around and saw Tony Vandom in a cool, red convertible.

'Wow! Dad!' "Will" exclaimed impressed. 'Nice ride.'

At Kandrakar

The platform was slowly closing in on the fortress.

'Let's knock and see who's home.' Shagon said as he nodded at Khor.

Khor let go of a handle and the catapult shot a sort of magical bullet at the fortress. The inhabitants and Caleb noticed the impact as several rocks fell down.

'The fortress at the Heart of Infinity is under siege!' Halinor said shocked.

At the carwash (Oh yeah i yeah at the carwash yeah! XD Sorry I just had to)

Hay-Lin and "Will" were washing Tony's car while Mr. Collins and Mrs. Vandom were washing another car nearby.

'So, when we're done, maybe I can take you and your friend for a spin?' Mr. Vandom said as he watched his 'daughter' and friend wash his car.

'And blow off the carwash?' "Will" said. 'Coolsome!'

'A few minutes in a convertible don't make up for months of absence.' Mrs. Vandom muttered.

Cornelia, Irma and Taranee were not sharing the joy of the Heart and Hay-Lin. Irma and Taranee were washing the car on one side while Cornelia just stood there and watched.

'You missed a spot.' she said as she pointed at a mud spot on the car.

Taranee was getting annoyed by Cornelia's attitude and told her rather coldly: 'So sponge up and UNMISS it, missy!'

'I'm supervising!' Cornelia defended herself. 'Look another! Wow, what would you do without me?'

Irma walked up to Cornelia with a squeegee.

'Squeegee, Corny. Corny, squeegee. I'm gonna give you two some time alone.' she said as she gave Cornelia the squeegee.

'Uhmm, yeah. I'm Earth remember?' Cornelia said, not accepting the squeegee. 'All I can do is put MORE mud on things. I would totally help if I were water.'

She then noticed Irma's smirk. She felt someone tapping on her shoulder. She turned around and saw a hose pointed at her. The hose shot water at her, drenching her completely. Both Irma and Taranee smiled at this while Cornelia shrieked and coughed up some water.

'Way to dive in there, sweetheart!' Mr. Hale said to Cornelia.
Cornelia looked darkly at her two friends, who were still laughing.

At Kandrakar

Khor shot again a magical bullet at the fortress.

'The walls can't take much more!' Halinor said, sounding a little desperate.

'Remain calm, Halinor' the Oracle said.
He used his powers to stop the fall of rocks.

'Blunk will summon the Guardians.'

'Yes! Blunk do that!' Blunk said while nodding his head. 'Fold out of here and do that!'
With that he walked away.

'Luba! Maintain the Aurameres. Nothing must interfere with the source of the Guardian's power.' the Oracle commanded.

Luba nodded and took her leave.

'The rest of you, follow me.' the Oracle said as he went outside.

The Oracle, Halinor, Caleb, Tibor, Alfor and the Mage were standing outside, waiting for the attack on the fortress. Another bullet was fired but the Oracle repelled it with a wave of his hand. He then turned around to take some distance from the edge of the balcony.

'Well looky here.' Zafyra said surprised and sarcastic. 'Baldy does has some tricks up his sleeve!'

Ember tried to attack the Oracle in the back but her fireball was intercepted by Caleb's shield, which he threw away immediately after and grabbed his sword. Shagon and Zafyra went after Caleb. Tibor wanted to stop them but got intercepted by Tridart, who was throwing icicles at him and freezing him in. Halinor walked up to Tibor.

'Fear not Tibor.' she said as she waved her hand over him.

The ice melted away but Halinor let out a moan.

'Halinor, you must be careful.' the Mage warned. 'Using your former Guardian powers, without an Auramere, drains too much of your lifeforce!'

Halinor looked desperately at the scene. Shagon, Zafyra, Ember and Tridart were attacking the Oracle, Caleb and Alfor, who were trying to repel them.

'But I must help.' Halinor said. 'The fortress has never been attacked before!'

Without her noticing, the Mage absorbed Halinor's desperation and send it to Tridart. The ice knight grew a good portion, thanks to the desperation.

'Hahaha. I love the smell of desperation in the morning.' he said maliciously.

At the carwash.

Blunk, who was hidden under a bucket, maneuvered through the cars and people, trying to reach the girls. While doing this he tried as hard as he could, not to get wet. He quickly went under a car. He looked at the shoes that were walking in front of him.

'Blunk know those shoes.' he said.

He climbed from underneath the car, only to get greeted by a sponge in his face. Taranee noticed what she was doing and gave a small squeal of surprise.

'Shhh!' Blunk said. 'We got trouble!'

'Looks good.' Tony Vandom said. 'Ready to roll?'

"Will" and Hay-Lin nodded, hoping to get away from the carwash. Just then they received a less than pleasant surprise.

*WITCH! We got a Kandrakar 911!* Taranee's voice said.

"Will" and Hay-Lin looked at each other in alarm. "Will" then turned to Will's father.

'Uhh… But first, we need more water!' she said.

'To… wash your car again!' Hay-Lin said while "Will" nodded. 'Resecond wash! It's a special.' With that "Will" and Hay-Lin ran away.

'Excellent work girls!' Mrs. Knickerbocker said to Irma, Cornelia and Taranee, who were standing next to the bus. 'Now for your next assignment.'

'Wait!' "Will" said. 'Job's not done till we've cleaned the inside!'

She opened the back of the bus and Hay-Lin jumped inside. The rest quickly followed. Blunk trying to hide behind Cornelia's skirt. The door slammed shut.

Ending of part 1.
Be honest, you never thought that the Oracle had such a powers now did ya? I mean he is supposed to have them yet never uses them... The guy is confusing.
