Disclaimer: I do not own Wawanakwa, or Total Drama Island, or the saying 'Get your head out of the clouds'.

I do, however, own Lord Rove and his Nightmares.

So this is story is an adventure that happens along time ago in the past and then at the campers time in Playa de Losers.

Prologue

From the air, Todd looked down on his friends fighting Lord Rove and his army, each side getting weaker yet more determined. He saw Caitlin and her army of the dead fighting a rather large group of Roves' Nightmares, with Betty keeping up a defense for them. She was showing the nightmares the army appearing from all sides, and they were all confused and lost. J.D. was throwing meteor after meteor at his group of Nightmares, with Kiel strengthening each rock with his own powers. Joe and Ava, meanwhile, were seducing the Nightmares to be suicidal and let themselves be strangled by vines.

Everyone else, however, was taking their best shot at Lord Rove. He was a giant creature, built like a centaur. He had to at least be as big as the large cliff on one side of their country, with his horns as big as the fresh water sharks inhabiting the island. He had shaggy, coarse dark hair, with a blackened silver chest plate covering his upper half. His truly most frightening feature, though, was his eyes. They had no pupil, or iris. It was just pure, deep, and black. It was haunting, and had infested the groups' dreams for the whole of the war.

Todd's thoughts were interrupted by the sight of his beautiful Greta shouting out orders from the front. He looked away, ashamed from what had happened hours ago, but Greta still flashed in his mind. She had thick, black hair that, Todd thought, danced in the wind. Her flowing dress was black and forest green, which perfectly matched the tiara she wore on her head. On the very center of the jeweled hat was the symbol of a circle with four notches, ninety degrees apart. This was the exact duplicate of a pendant she wore on her neck that shimmered oddly in the light.

Greta, or Queen Greta as she was normally called, was the Elementals leader. The Elementals was a group of twenty-two sixteen year-old's, trying to save the world from ultimate destruction. But not just any teenagers. All of them had a special power; they could control an element of the universe. From Fire to the Mind, from Life to Color, it was all in their hands. It was amazing to have, but dangerous. If even one of them died, Nick of the Sound had once hypothesized; it could mean that the element they control would be gone for good. Of course, it wasn't proven…who would risk it? But the Elementals were all very cautious after that. It was a miracle that they had lasted this long without fatal injuries, in any case.

Queen Greta had three sub-generals, who were the Princes Harry and Orion and Princess Elizabeth, or Liz. None of them were related though; it was more just out of respect that they were called this.

Anyways, each of the sub generals had six soldiers at their command. Todd of the Air was part of Prince Orion's group, and had been doing his normal duty of lookout earlier in the day. Unfortunately, he had been so busy looking at Queen Greta that he failed to see the army of Nightmares progressing towards the Elemental's base of operations, Wawanakwa until it was too late. If this had been any minor skirmish, then they could have easily handled it. But no, this was the final assault. This was the last battle, the one that decided who died, who lived, and who won.

As the Nightmare's were pushed out of the camp, Queen Greta had approached Todd. Expecting forgiveness and a second chance, Todd was quickly hurt by her harsh words.

"We were practically killed, Todd! The universe could have been destroyed, because your head was in the clouds! This isn't a game Todd, this is REAL!"

Prince Orion, surprisingly, was the one to console Queen Greta and got Todd to perform lookout for the huge battle that was sure to happen in moments. Orion had lumbered over to Greta and put her in a bear hug. She couldn't help but laugh, even though she was upset and horrid war was around them. Her embracer gently spoke words Todd couldn't hear, and as soon as she was released, Great turned and told Todd to go back up. Then she walked away. And, no sooner had the saddened Trent flown up that Lord Rove appeared.

Todd shook his head, determined to make up for his mishap. He pushed his black hair from his eyes and flew on in the sky. Far below, as far as he could see, was the sickening image of battle. He saw Sage with blood caking her hair, withering behind Jude and Taylor. Some of the Nightmares were actually crying and screaming in pain. Petunia was surrounded by a flood of Nightmares, though Lafonda was fighting her way through to help her. And Todd's stomach lurched at this; Princess Liz was going on an insane rampage, tearing every Nightmare apart.

But still, the Elementals were losing. The people on the ground didn't need Todd to tell them that. Every blast to Lord Rove just made a bigger blast come towards them. Every tear in the army of Nightmares was sewn back up. It was hopeless…

And even Queen Greta thought so, because she was going to do something she swore never to do.

Up at the front of the battle, she was ordering everyone still standing to leave Lord Rove and the Nightmares and retreat. Everyone, that is, except Doug. She pulled him aside and whispered, "Doug, get everyone healed and back into the caves now! I'll take care of Lord Rove and his minions."

Doug's pale blue eyes went wide as he realized what Queen Greta was going to do. "No!" He shouted, "Isn't their any other way?!"

Queen Greta gave him a small smile and shook her head. "No…this is the only way." Her face turned serious, and she ordered, "Now, Doug! NOW!"

With no other option, Doug followed his fellow fighters and yelled at them to get in the caves, on order of the Queen. Some tried to turn back to help Greta, but were pulled into the worm like cavern system by others. Todd, however, didn't go, and watched as Queen Greta stood to face Lord Rove and his army of sick, twisted fiends. An icy cold fear griped at his heart as he realized what the Queen was to do, and that he couldn't do a thing about it.

He watched helplessly as she brought her arms over her head, in a praying like manner. Then, she brought her two arms out in front of her, and unclasped her hands which then faced towards her enemies. A cross between peace and conflict flashed on her face; before long a blue glow surrounded her hands and was growing brighter. Lord Rove wondered too long on what she was doing…much, much too long.

"STOP HER!" his voice boomed, as Greta's light became blindingly bright. Unfortunately, the Nightmares shied from the radiance, and backed away. Nothing could stop Greta now, and Lord Rove knew it. Before he could say to retreat, the blue glow turned white hot, and Todd covered his eyes in preparation of the next part of the spell. Todd could only hear the screams and yells of the Nightmares and the curses of Lord Rove as a giant flash of light hit the area.

When the light faded, and Todd opened his eyes, he saw nothing of his enemies or of Greta. He lowered himself to the ground and searched for a trace of her, though he knew there would be none.

Brandy walked around the field that had held moments earlier a vile war. She could see her friends making their way along as well, their minds in a daze. Queen Greta, friend and leader, was gone. Not from life, or Caitlin would have found her, but from this time.

Queen Greta was the Guardian of Time. She had moved herself and Lord Rove to another time, to save her followers. She could either leave him there or finish him…either way Greta would die. She couldn't jump across time like that and not weaken. Another trip back would kill her, if she even came back.

Brandy cracked. She sat down on the grass and sobbed, her blond hair billowing around her. "WHY?!" she screamed at the sky, "WHY?!"

And as if an answer to her shout, something fell from the sky. Not a meteor, not a bird, but a single pendant shaped like a sundial, which fell perfectly into Brandy's outstretched hand. She looked at it dumbly, then put it to her heart and cried some more.

In a cool, dark cave, fully-healed-save-the-aching-in-their-hearts Elementals stood facing a pedestal, one for each of them. On the pedestals were rock carvings of the Elementals' faces, made by Kiel. They were all arranged in a perfect circle on the edges of the cave walls, and at the head of the cave was Greta's. On the granite neck of her face lie her pendant, still shimmering in whatever light it could find in the murky cavern.

One by one, the Elementals took off their own necklaces- for they indeed also have their own-and placed them around their busts' heads. They felt empty without them, and indeed, they wouldn't live long without them on. Then, they all gathered by Greta's carving and kneeled down.

After a moment of silence, Betty, then Taylor, then Jude, then everyone left except Todd. He looked into the blank eyes of Greta's likeness, and gave it a small kiss. He walked with red eyes away from the room, and behind him, the door sealed shut, closing off the biggest secret in man-kind.
