こんばんは！
As you know, this story is the first book of the Pan Saga.
The next story is Faith which I already wrote in my messy scribbly notebook of vast confusion that is currently being transfered to the internet. The is story takes place a year after the events in Believe with a twist or should I say, foreshadow of how the storyline is going to progress past the saga. From now on, most of my stories will not be as big as this one. ( I am planning on writing the entire series before I graduate high school thank you very much ;P)
Here is the brief plot of Faith (from fanfiction):
After Elysie's journey to Neverland, she discovers a boy that may be the one and only Peter Pan. But, the Skeleton comes back from the dead with the Others and are planning on taking the world's second largest starstuff supply in an isolated island, Berk.
Haha, did you notice the twist :P.

A Conclusion Statment
Dear Reader,
After this adventure in my life, everything went back to normal. Even though everyone is acting like it never happened. I still want to remember no matter how tragic it was. The Starcatchers and my friends completely failed their mission, but we did what had to be done. In God’s eyes, we did exactly how he wanted it. I still question Him sometimes about losing Peter and failing to protect him as I promised. I will never know if Peter accepted the Lord or not. Though I did. I can’t believe that I never gave my life to Jesus sooner. This mission would have never been successful if I didn’t believe in God. That is what this mission is all about. Not to believe in fairies or immortal beings (though it is helpful), but to fully believe in God. So that someday, we will be immortal beings like Peter, but better! I hope that you have the same enthusiasm as me. Currently Melana, Chelsie (she passed last month’s test), and I are busy doing many assigned missions. It’s almost near the end of the school year and I can’t wait for summer. Many of you are probably wondering, what about Peter? To be truthfully honest, I haven’t seen or heard from him since the last time we talked in Neverland. I don’t know if I will ever see him again. Who knows? The future is still unwritten.
God Bless,
Elysea Pan
Epilogue
Peter watched Elysie, her dad, and her friends walk away from the attraction, fireworks started booming near the castle.
Time went backwards, it was only 9:17pm.
Peter smiled, transparent tears fell on his hands.
He longed to meet up with Elysie but he couldn’t because he was only a ghost of his former self, waiting for a call . . . A droning bell rung in the distance, disturbing his thoughts.
There it is.
He wiped his tears, but was still tearing up uncontrollably.
“Stop crying . . . ghosts don’t cry,” he muttered, mostly to himself.
Peter, said a mysterious voice inside his head.
Peter decided to give up his futile attempts and rose to fly.
“Okay, I vaguely remember the procedure so can you talk me through it?” Peter asked out loud.
Sleeping Beauty Castle.
“Might as well say the castle, there is only one castle here.”
Then he launched himself from where he was standing and flew towards the castle.
As Peter flew, not one spark of a firework hit him. Then he swerved towards the front of the castle and hovered near the highest window.
No one could see Peter or what was going to happen unless they too are ghosts.
The bell drone slowly faded.
He turned towards the crowd and saw Elysie and the group staring up sadly at the fireworks.
Then the window opened, revealing a bright light in the inside. A white path slowly appeared under his feet.
Peter turned around and saw a man walking towards him.
“Welcome to the Vault,”the man said.
“Uh, thanks,”Peter replied.
The man then stretched his hand towards Peter.
Peter looked at the hand, then towards Elysie and the others, and then finally towards the entrance of the Vault.
“It’s time to move on,” the man said.
He nodded and slowly walked towards the man.
He took a step into the bright doorway.
All went white.
Chapter 35: Star Light
We silently boarded off the ship and waited for the next ship with the rest if the group.
Soon enough, we saw Melana and Uncle Mike come into view.
“What do you think happened, Dad?” I asked.
“He might have preserved Neverland in starstuff,”he replied.
“What happens when you preserve something with starstuff?”
“It comes to a standstill. From as far as I know, the entire island is dormant until further notice,”Jiang explained.
I nodded my head. The clouds that rained down earlier cleared up and a starry sky shone brightly. There were two stars that looked exactly like the second star to the right.
I smiled sadly.
See you soon, Peter.
My dad hugged me and said,”Let’s go home.”
Park music started to play a song as we walked away:
Star light
Star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish, I may
I wish, I might
Have the wish
I wish tonight
We’ll make a wish and do as dreamers do
And all our wishes
Will come true
Chapter 34: It All Goes Together
We did what Peter instructed us to do: connect in a circle and hold hands.
I felt anxious of what was going to happen but I couldn’t stop staring at Peter.
He walked up a hill-like sand dune, the sun in his face. He turned around and smiled.
It took all my strength to hold my tears back.
He pulled out his dagger and thrust it towards the sky, starstuff slowly encircling him.
After a few seconds, he was completely enveloped in starstuff and exploded.
Starstuff covered the vast surfaces of Neverland and encircled our group.
I closed my eyes but I could still see the light through my eyelids.
I heard a loud hum and all went black.
As I slowly got my feeling back, I felt a hard surface underneath me and a familiar Disney music.
I opened my eyes and I saw that I was back on the ride.
All was restored.
Chapter 33: See You Again
“Peter, what happens if you died tonight?”
“Why do you think that? I probably won’t die.”
“But what if you did when you least expect it?”
“Well, when you’re dead, you’re dead. Death is a whole another adventure in itself.”
“Liar,” I mumbled, “You didn’t come back.”
“I am glad that I have you as . . . uh great niece.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Starstuff started rising from the ground, taking a form. They compounded together until every area of the form was complete.
It flashed.
--------------------------------
I opened my eyes when I felt a bright flash. I couldn’t believe what was in front of me.
There was Peter, standing their in his ridiculous green clad outfit.
The rest of the group stared at him in amazement and disbelief that their prayers actually were answered.
“Peter . . .,”I started and ran to hug him, but only to run right through.
“Sorry, but I am a unstable form of myself,”Peter explained.
“What?”Jiang asked.
“I came back because God gave me a second chance. No time for details because I need to do a job soon.”
“What job?” my dad asked.
“Seal Neverland and enter the Vault.”
“The Vault? You mean the Disney Vault?”Melana asked.
Peter nodded.
“Cool. I thought it was a phony thing that they mention to advertise their movie availability.”
“That’s what it’s pictured to be, but really it’s the holding place of all Disney characters.”Peter explained.
“How did you know about it?”Jon asked.
“Ever since a Disney character is animated, they instantly know of the Vault. But there is a catch. You can only enter it if you did a heroic deed . . . or make a wish come true. many princesses and characters passed and went into the vault . . . except me. I had a life, a real life. My story wasn’t heroic but normal. Yea, I saved people . . . but did my wish come true? Or anyone around me? Not really. That’s why I never lived in the Vault and lived here in Neverland for all these years. But, these several days, I did a heroic deed that wasn’t normal to me. I even risked death. For that . . . I am granted to finally enter the Vault.”
“But . . . what will happen to Neverland?” I asked.
“It will be sealed off from the world and freeze in time. It probably won’t unfreeze until I need it to,”Peter replied.
“What will happen to you?”Jiang asked.
“Another adventure of the unknown,”Peter said with a ghost of a smile.
“Will I ever see you again?”I asked.
He just looked at me sadly.
“I don’t know. Maybe . . . but you probably won’t recognize me for a while,” he answered.
I hugged him and and imagined that I really was. He hugged me back and I could even feel it.
“See you again,”he whispered into my ear.
I let go of him and smiled. He returned the favor and waved to the group.
“This is goodbye. It was great working alongside with you. I am truly grateful for all your help,”Peter said.
“Wait, how do we get home since there is no ride?”I asked.
The others looked at me, shocked.
“Once I seal Neverland and return to the Vault, then the ride will come back,”Peter answered cooly.
I relaxed because that nightmare almost gave me a heart attack.
The group came up to Peter to share their goodbyes, while I stood back, contemplating on what he said, Maybe . . . you probably won’t recognize me for a while.
What does he mean by “won’t recognize?”

Chapter 32: Prayer
Dear God,
Thank you for everything . . . but I need to ask you for one more thing.
Can you bring back Peter?
Please, I know it’s up for you to decide but I want you to reassure my companions and encourage them. Please God . . . Amen.
Please, I know it’s up for you to decide but I want you to reassure my companions and encourage them. Please God . . . Amen.
While I was praying, Jiang broke out into a mournful song (which, was kinda morbid):
The King
Gives everyone a punishment
That is why the King
Is always all alone
The King
Has a very mean heart
But wants everyone
To give their attention to the King
Sadness
Loneliness
All alone in solitude
But that’s all
The King can do
And it cannot be helped

Chapter 31: Regroup
Sunlight wrapped the brokenhearted group with a familiar warmth. Jiang lifted her tear-stained eyes up from the ground that Peter laid. Then she heard a faint yelling in the distance.
“Dad! Melana! Jiang!”
“Elysie . . .”Jiang whispered.
“It’s Elysie!” Melana exclaimed, running towards a figure in the distance.
-----------------------------------
I ran toward the group. When I reached their spot, I hugged Melana tightly. My dad came over and joined in with the hugs.
“Elysie, your shoulder,”my dad said with concern.
I never noticed that my right shoulder was slightly bleeding from the cut I got from Ombra.
“It’s okay. I got it during my duel with Ombra. It stings but no biggie,”I brushed off.
“What happened?”Melana asked.
“Explain later. What happened to Peter?”I asked.
Then I noticed Jiang still on the ground, staring solemnly at it. I rushed over and grabbed her cold hands.
“I couldn’t . . . protect . . . him,”she said as she broke down.
I hugged her as she cried into my shoulder, the good one.
“Shh . . . it’s okay,”I said.
She released from my hug and shook her head.
“No. He’s gone. It was my job to protect the starstuff of this universe and I failed.”
“No, you didn’t. There really was no starstuff in the chest. He just put in a flash. All the starstuff was in him,”
She just stared at me.
“So all that starstuff . . . it was already . . .,”she started, but looked away in disbelief.
“what do you mean “all ready”?” I asked.
“That much starstuff that can sustain Neverland can kill any Watcher, no matter how powerful they are. Peter was glowing . . . if he took in all the starstuff . . . it was already killing him from the inside.”
“So, what are you saying?”
“What I am saying is when the King pierced him with the sword . . . he released Peter from his unknown pain.” Then she rethought, “That evil bastard is such a blockhead. He totally didn’t know what he was doing.”
“What do you mean?”I asked, confused by her sudden change.
“The starstuff was transforming Peter into something else . . . that’s why he was glowing. So when he pierced Peter . . . he released his new form.”
“So how do we get him back?” my dad asked.
“He came back to protect me from Ombra but he disappeared as suddenly as he came,”I added.
“A ghost?” Melana suggested.
Everyone thought hard. Then I got an idea.
I grabbed Jiang and Melana’s hand.
“Let’s ask God for a favor,”I said.
Chapter 30: Believe
“Peter?”I called out.
No sound, no one; just the lone open chest.
I ran over to it and looked inside the gold box. All the starstuff was gone.
“What just happened?”I muttered to myself.
Then I heard a tinkling of bells and a flash of light zoom by my face.
“Tinkerbell?”
A jingle answered me and I saw Tinkerbell staring at me.
“You’re alive!” I said gleefully. But then I thought of Peter.
“Wait, what happened to Peter?’I asked, searching her face for good news.
But her face fell and nodded gloomily towards Fantasyland.
“No . . . ,”I muttered and started running towards the Peter Pan ride.
Tinkerbell followed quickly behind me.
-----------------------------------
What I saw, I couldn’t explain.
There was no ride, it was like the ride never existed.
“How did this happen?’I yelled.
Then a random janitor happened to hear me.
“What’s the matter?”he asked.
I gestured to the random lot, between another ride attraction and walkway next to the castle.
“Oh, that open space. I don’t know but from speculations, Walt was going to build an attraction there but it is . . . cursed.”
“Cursed?”
“Yes. Every single cotton seed that was planted there died instantly. Farmers told Walt that this very piece of land was forsaken by God himself.”
“Really? What did Walt do for Peter Pan then?”
“Peter Pan?”
“Yea. His 1953 animated film.”
“I’m sorry, but Disney never made a film called ‘Peter Pan’.”
“What? I thought he loved the story of the boy who could fly and never grow up.”
“I never heard of it. You should write a story about this Peter Pan. People might be interested to hear it. Good night.”
And off he went.
“So it never existed? Tink, something is really wrong. We need to get to the bridge.”
I backed up a little and sprinted towards the barricade. I vaulted over it and landed in a puddle of mud.
“Yuck, okay, so where is the bridge?”
There was nothing in sight except rusty framework and mud. Tinkerbell yanked my hair and pointed towards a rusty looking refrigerator type of object.
She jingled one thing that I could understand,”Believe.” Then she zipped around me, showering ‘pixie dust’ on me.
I nodded. Believe . . . just gotta believe.
I closed my eyes and started walking towards the refrigerator. I remembered my dad telling me “stories” about Peter. Meeting my buddies and joining the J.U.S.S. My dad disappearing and my encounter with Jesus Christ. Hanging out with Peter in Disneyland. Peter’s fight and death. His comeback for saving me . . . Believe.
Then all went white.
Chapter 29: The Final Battle
The Skeleton advanced on me before I could defend and brushed my arm lightly with his hand. The most unearthly pain entered my body as my mouth silently screamed as I clutched my arm.
“Want to reconsider?”he rasped.
“Never,”I panted and I brought out my sniper gun and shot him square in the chest. A normal person would have died or bled to death, but it was just a vacant hole which was already closing up. The Skeleton did not seem fazed or harmed at all.
I cursed under my breathe as I dodged another swipe from the Skeleton.
God, any hints?
Then I saw Ombra dragging the crate away. I remembered from “The Sword of Mercy” and how Wendy defeated them by opening the starstuff crate.
I rolled away from the Skeleton and sprinted over to Ombra, who was on the other side of the tracks.
Unfortunately, the Skeleton pinned me down but I head-butted his nasty skull, which was really hard, and slipped away. I reached behind my pack, but I couldn’t grab anything but a flimsy dagger. I looked around and I saw a metal rod.
I picked it up and swung it as hard as I could on the Skeleton’s skull. He stumbled back, clutching his head. But Ombra glided over to me and swung the Death Blade. It scraped my shoulder and my only thought was, I’m dead.
But nothing happened except the annoying burning pain of a cut.
“Hmm, I guess it’s useless now,”I commented.
Ombra groaned and swung at me again but I blocked it with my rod and swung at him immediately. Sadly, that was my mistake. Ever since I started the J.U.S.S., I sucked at using daggers. I could block but I was really bad at choosing when to advance. This is one of my bad advances because just as I could connect to Ombra’s body he used his previous swing momentum to cut around and knock the metal rod out of my hand.
Now, I am utterly defenseless and cornered next to a random rock. Ombra lifted his arm for one final blow to finish me off and I closed my eyes, waiting for the blow.
But the blow never came. For a rush of wind went past me and I heard metal clank on metal.
I opened my eyes and I saw Peter in his black attire; the Sword of Mercy blocked blade once again with golden sparks.
“Peter!” I said, happy to be saved.
He pushed Ombra off and yelled,”Elysie, take cover!”
I ran around the rock just as I saw a bright starstuff flash and unearthly screams.
Then all was silent.
I crept back around the rock and I saw Peter, by himself with an empty chest, his arm holding the Sword of Mercy limply. Then he sighed and sheathed the sword.
The rain still poured mercilessly down on us, thunder cracking in the air.
“Are they gone?”I asked, rubbing my arms together.
He just looked up at me and smiled.
Then a lightning flash made me blink.
When I opened my eyes, he was gone.

Chapter 28: Be Prepared
Others heading your way. Be prepared.
I shut my phone and braced myself on the bench, my eyes glued to the Peter Pan's flight exit. As if on que, she saw the Skeleton and Ombra exit with the chest. Both glancing nervously over their shoulders. I kept myself hidden behind a clump of strollers, hoping to catch them in a less populated area.
The sky began to get darker and rain fell form the sky. I sneezed from the sudden downpour. I looked towards the sky and it looked like the stars were crying, heaven was crying.
Woah Elysie, what are you thinking?
I saw the Other make their way to the Main Street side of Fantasyland and walk across to Frontierland. I follow closely behind, soaking from head to toe but I didn't care. I knew that they were up to no good and I wanted to put a stop to it. They got to the closed entrance of Big Thunder Mountain and merged into the shadows.
I halted and looked over the barricade.
It can't be too high.
I took a deep breath and vaulted over the barricade, barely making it over. I landed like a ninja on the side breathless from my feat. As I looked up form my braced position, I saw the Others climbing over the "in repair" tracks.
"I wouldn't go that way if I were you. It's all just construction work and roller-coaster tracks,"I pointed out.
"I know what I am doing,"Ombra groaned.
Strange, he has uncertainty in his voice.
I looked around.
"Where is your King?"I asked.
They looked at each other, seem to debate on how to answer me.
"He went ahead of us. His mission was completed faster then he expected and left for another mission,"Ombra replied.
"You are lying,"I said.
Out of nowhere, Ombra had a sword pointed towards my face.
"Do you want to argue,"he groaned.
The Skeleton grinned and cracked his hideous knuckles.
"Oh yes,"I replied with a smirk.
Chapter 27: Safe and Sound
They watched in ultimate horror as the Blade connected with Peter's heart. The golden glow drained from him and his skin became a sickly grey.
"No!"Jiang screamed as she broke from Ombra's grasp and ran towards the duo.
Then Peter drove the Curtana and the king exploded into dust. She slid to his side, where he laid still on the ground. The group stayed back for they knew that Peter is almost gone.
"Why?"Jiang asked, choking in tears.
"Because I had to. The prophecy stated that the Curtana will be driven into his heart,"Peter whispered.
"But it never mentioned you dying."
"Because that part is one of the many missing parts."
"No . . ."
Peter groaned as he saw black dots dance in his eyes, nausea setting in. Jiang cried but looked into his eyes, which seemed oddly at peace.
"Tell . . . Elysie . . . to keep . . . believing,"Peter said, his strength now gone.
"I will,"Jiang whispered, grasping his hand.
She decided to comfort him with a song that was sung to her long ago:
"I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said don't leave me alone
But all that's dead and gone and past tonight
Just close your eyes
the sun is going down
you'll be alright
no one can hurt you now
come morning light
you and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window darling everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Curl up to this lullaby
Even when the magic's gone
Gone"
Peter smiled and mouthed, "Thank you".
His entire body glowed brightly and hummed as starstuff was rising out of him and floating to the sky. Then his body slowly disintegrated into starstuff. They all looked up and saw the startsuff floating far away, tears streaming down their faces.
Jiang's hand was still closed, like she was still clutching Peter's hand.
"Just close your eyes . . .,"she started but choked on her tears,"you'll be alright."
Melana came over and put her hand on Jiang's shoulders and sang,"Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound."
Then Jiang stretched her hand and starstuff floated out. She broke he gaze away from her hand when she noticed that the chest Peter brought wasn't there anymore. Neither were the Others.
"Darn,"she muttered as she got out her cell phone and texted Elysie.
"No!"Jiang screamed as she broke from Ombra's grasp and ran towards the duo.
Then Peter drove the Curtana and the king exploded into dust. She slid to his side, where he laid still on the ground. The group stayed back for they knew that Peter is almost gone.
"Why?"Jiang asked, choking in tears.

His entire body glowed brightly and hummed as starstuff was rising out of him and floating to the sky. Then his body slowly disintegrated into starstuff. They all looked up and saw the startsuff floating far away, tears streaming down their faces.
Jiang's hand was still closed, like she was still clutching Peter's hand.

"Darn,"she muttered as she got out her cell phone and texted Elysie.
Chapter 26: King vs Peter
Exhaustion.
That's all Peter could think about as he advanced and defended. He knew that if he kept this up he will never see the next sunrise in Neverland.
As the king swung his blade at Peter's head for the millionth time, realization hit Peter at the same time. He jumped out of the way and closed his eyes.
"dear God, I put this fight in your hands,"Peter mumbled.
He quickly opened his eyes and the King advanced him again. He gripped Curtana and focused all his starstuff power into the sword. Then he advanced at the King and their blades connected at full speed but the surge of Peter's sword blasted the King away.
Left breathless and weak from the surge, Peter unzipped a compartment in his coat and Tinkerbell flew out, well and alive.
"Tink, now!"Peter yelled.
Tinkerbell zipped towards Peter and showered his sword and himself in pixie dust. His energy was renwed and he flew straight towards the King, who was barely recovering 350 yards away.
In flight, Peter collided his sword with the King's blade and the King was struck down again but prepared for it.
"Block me Tink!" Peter commanded.
Tinkerbell kept showering starstuff while Peter gave repetitive blows towards the King, who was able to block some of them but losing a lot of ground. Peter halted his blows with a cross lock with the King.
"Do you want to surrender?"Peter asked.
"Never."King replied.
Then he pushed Peter away and charged. During the push, Tink was shoved and spun erratically.
Darn, Peter thought.
He used Tink as his power source, but now he had limited power and needed to use it wisely . The King charged at him and he blocked it once again.
"You know Peter, I have one more trick up my sleeve,"King pointed out.
"Yea? What's that?"Peter asked, grunting on trying to keep his remaining power source.
"This is going exactly as I planned and my plans never fail,"King said, quite darkly, which caused Peter to lose his guard for a second.
The King swiftly unlocked his Blade from peter's and touched the very tip of the blade into Peter's heart.
Peter felt no pain, but a sense of lacking energy. He looked down and saw the Blade, black fumes spreading across his black coat.
"You're dead. Too bad, I would have loved to be working with you,"the King said with a smile.
Peter didn't respond, for his energy was diminishing rapidly. He closed his eyes and willed any last bit of starstuff into the Curtana.
The Curtana gave off a weak glow, but was filled with enough power to finish the job. He glanced towards the group who were holding their breathe as they saw the entire scene play out. Tears filled his eyes as black dots raced into his vision.
"I . . . am . . . so . . .sorry,"he whispered.
Then he gave one last battle cry and plunged the Curtana into the depth's of the King's dark heart.
"You're dead,"Peter said.
The King stared at Peter in disbelief until he exploded and disintegrated into black dust.
Peter kept his lunge stance until he couldn't hold himself anymore.
He looked up to the sky as he laid on the ground, the sun shining bright as the clouds parted.
That's all Peter could think about as he advanced and defended. He knew that if he kept this up he will never see the next sunrise in Neverland.
As the king swung his blade at Peter's head for the millionth time, realization hit Peter at the same time. He jumped out of the way and closed his eyes.

"Yea? What's that?"Peter asked, grunting on trying to keep his remaining power source.
"This is going exactly as I planned and my plans never fail,"King said, quite darkly, which caused Peter to lose his guard for a second.
The King swiftly unlocked his Blade from peter's and touched the very tip of the blade into Peter's heart.
Peter felt no pain, but a sense of lacking energy. He looked down and saw the Blade, black fumes spreading across his black coat.
"You're dead. Too bad, I would have loved to be working with you,"the King said with a smile.
Peter didn't respond, for his energy was diminishing rapidly. He closed his eyes and willed any last bit of starstuff into the Curtana.
The Curtana gave off a weak glow, but was filled with enough power to finish the job. He glanced towards the group who were holding their breathe as they saw the entire scene play out. Tears filled his eyes as black dots raced into his vision.
"I . . . am . . . so . . .sorry,"he whispered.
Then he gave one last battle cry and plunged the Curtana into the depth's of the King's dark heart.
"You're dead,"Peter said.
The King stared at Peter in disbelief until he exploded and disintegrated into black dust.
Peter kept his lunge stance until he couldn't hold himself anymore.
He looked up to the sky as he laid on the ground, the sun shining bright as the clouds parted.
Chapter 25: Death Blade
I connected the same candy together in a four-in-a-row and they crushed, completing the level.
Another win.
Playing Candy Crush is not my idea of fun but there wasn't much that I could do waiting for impending danger or hope.
I looked up from my ipod and I heard music and people milling around my bench, most were eager to go on the Peter Pan ride.
Pity, they don't know what;s really going on in there.
I sighed and looked at my watch: 10:00pm.
Please God, give them all the strength and courage to defeat the Others.
I then turned on my ipod and continued playing Candy Crush.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is the Death Blade . . . smoking?, Peter though as he braced himself for the first blow.
He didn't hide his surprised look that well when the King stated,"Highly deadly fumes from the the death that vibrates through this blade. Not telling you any details but it is the most powerful weapon made by the Others. A cut from this balde can either kill you instantly or take away your heart and become a slave to me."
"Both don't sound pretty good. Are you sure there isn't another option that you forgot to read in your Death Blade Pamphlet?"Peter asked.
The King didn't reply back.
"Yea, didn't think so,"Peter muttered, mostly to himself.
He then put his enemy into the sword's hilt and it gave off a golden glow.
"Peter . . . please,"he heard Jiang whisper in tears.
Without looking towards he, he glumly stated,"I'm sorry."
He charged first at the King. he connect with the Death Blade with a earsplitting clash as sparks of starstuff and smoke flew everywhere. The King arched Death Blade away from Peter and swung at Peter's feet. He easily jumped the swing but the King rebounded and slashed towards Peter's neck. But with his advanced eyesight, Peter blocked the Blade in the knick of time. He pushed the Blade off and countered it with a deadly swipe towards the King's torso, still leaving the same annoying vacant slit.
Come on! Think!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Melana and the Starcatchers watched in fear from a distance. Peter and the King never seemed to be gaining ground on each other. Every time Peter lost a little bit of ground, they all held their breathes.
"Is there anything we can to to help except just standing here and watch?"Melana complained, hating the feeling of being helpless.
Jon gave her a look and gestured towards the Others around them.
"Going out there is just committing suicide,"Jon stated.
Melana slumped, he had a point.
"It's Peter's fight,'Tiger Lily solemnly added.
Another win.

Chapter 24: To the Death
"So that's the plan,"Melana concluded, out of breathe from talking about the plan.
"Good plan. What will happen to Peter and the King?"Jon asked.
"I don't really know. All we can do is pray,"Melana replied.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peter and the King parted from their groups at the same time.
"We need to negotiate a couple of things in private,"the King said, with a evil glint in his eyes.
"I agree,"peter said, crossing his arms.
The King snapped his fingers and the Other charged towards the group form the shadows. But they were prepared for it and fought back.
As the fighting drew on, the King gestured Peter to a more quiet place on the beach, away from the chaos.
"What's the negotiation?"Peter asked.
"I want you to lead me to the chest. No tricks. In thanks, I will leave Neverland,"the King replied.
"That sound s like a good bargain."
"Yes it is."
Peter though for a moment. The noise in the background wasn't helping his thinking process.
I know this might be a trap but he might keep his word.
Peter decided to go for broke.
"I will show you where the chest is,"he said.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jiang and Melana blocked every sword that came their way. Melana looked towards Jiang in desperation because she knew that they wouldn't hold out for much longer. Jiang knew that she had to do it now.
She closed her eyes, trying to concentrate on any happy though, which she only had very few of them. She focused on one moment in her childhood, a moment that drastically changed in a day.
Then she felt lighter and lighter until she couldn't feel the ground anymore.
"She's flying!" she heard someone yell, which sounded from below.
Jiang opened her eyes and saw the ground really far below. She ducked her head too much that her entire body swooped down. She shrieked and lifted her hard leveled.
Don't try that again, she thought.
She tested out her flying for a few seconds, grinning her face off.
You know, I have a feeling that this is going to be fun, she thought.
Then she swooped down towards the ground below, he dagger now in front of her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peter decided to walk towards the chest sing the King was daring him with his eyes to fly. He lead the King to another empty beach spot. Except it had a strait of water running through it. The sun's rays shine brightly down on a sand island between the strait and sea.
"It's there,"Peter said, pointing to the sand island.
"Take out the chest,"the Kind commanded.
"As you wish, but I would like some assistance."
If he heard the King grumble or not, he grumbled. Peter walked across the frozen strait and unto the mound. He got onto his hands and knees and started digging. The King just watched and did nothing. Peter felt his hand hit the chest when he heard the yelling in the distance getting extremely close.
He turned around and saw Jiang diving towards the King.
"No . . . Jiang . . .,"Peter whispered.
Peter's previous plan was to give the King the chest so that the King will call off war and leave Neverland, thinking he won. Unfortunately, Jiang's sudden action of attack set back his wonderfully thought out plan.
The King easily blocked Jiang's dive but she rebounded and sliced at the King's chest. He roared in pain but the vacant slit closed up.
He's invincible?Peter and Jiang both thought of at the same time.
As if he read their thoughts, he answered,"You can't kill a demon that easily."
"Oh yea?" said a voice from behind him.
Jiang had a starstuff ball in her hand, ready to shoot it.
"Let's see about this,"she smirked and shot the bolt towards the King.
He dodged it but it still managed to clip his left hand clean off. He grabbed his arm in pain.
Peter decided to shoot a starstuff bolt but the King gripped his wrist tightly, almost cutting off his circulation.
"Don't you dare?"King threatened.
"I think I will take the dare,"Peter remarked and shot a starstuff bolt and at the King's head. The King dodged it easily but released his grip on Peter's wrist in the process. But Peter didn't suspect what the King schemed next. He quickly gripped both of Jiang's hands and held her neck close to his unsheathed Death Blade.
"Now Peter, did you know that a simple cut from this Death Blade could end her life?"King smirked.
Peter couldn't reply but glare frustratedly at the King and Jiang. Jiang's eyes trembled but stayed strong. She made eye contact with peter and he could hear her voice.
I can handle it.
Peter winced at hearing her words. He mustered enough starstuff to telepathically reply to her, don't give up. I haven't given everything yet.
Jiang's eyes widened in understanding.
"Peter . . . no!"she screamed.
The King grinned/
"Listen, I have the starstuff underneath me at this very moment. Let her go and you will get your starstuff,"Peter said.
To prove to the King that he wasn't bluffing, he lifted the chest out of the snow, above his head, and let it slowly float to the ground. Peter looked at the King's eyes intently.
"Ombra, watch after the girl,"King said as he threw Jiang into Ombra's clutches.
The King approached Peter and the chest. Peter made no move to stop him. As the King lifted the chest and gave it to the Skeleton, he unsheathed his Death Blade and pointed it towards Peter's heart.
"Of course, I forgot to mention that I need a watcher like you too,"King said, gesturing to Peter.
Peter sighed.
"I don't think that can be arranged,"Peter said as he took out the tip and willed the Curtana into his hands.
"To the death,"King said.
"To the death,"Peter repeated.
"Good plan. What will happen to Peter and the King?"Jon asked.
"I don't really know. All we can do is pray,"Melana replied.

Chapter 23: The Boy is Back
Peter slowly let himself float gently to the ground. His eyes glanced for a second towards the place where he hid the chest. He looked back towards his friend and smiled.
"Miss me?" Peter teased.
"Not by a lot,"Jiang replied back.
The King slowly gained his composure, still gripping his hand.
"How did you acquire that power?"he asked.
"Oh, you know, starstuff. I get to fly, shoot stuff, make stuff, and more. Too bad for you, dark stuff can't do much,"Peter teased.
"Cocky, eh? Don't forget my powers boy."
"Yea, your power to cheat? Nice one!"
Jiang couldn't handle but let out a inward chuckle.
"No, the power of death. You are quite aware that I and my fellow Others can end your life in the most unsuspecting ways,"King said, summoning Ombra and the Skeleton to his side.
Peter flatly said,"I don't mind. I already have a Friend in higher places that is on my one side right now. Actually, you should be afraid of His power. Besides, if you kill me, you won't know where I hid your precious chest."
"My chest? So you did take it!"
"Um, no. mYou see, after I dug myself out of the snow, the chest happened to be right next to me. Sadly, your evil thoughts clog up your tiny peanut head to even notice the starstuff nearby."
Before Peter could react, the King grabbed him by the neck, choking him. Peter gagged uncontrollably as he tried to breathe.
"I liked you better dead,"the King growled.
Peter couldn't exactly answer, but he put his glowing hands, with starstuff, on the King's hands.
The King screamed again, releasing his hold on Peter. Peter collapsed to the ground, gagging. Jiang and Melana ran to his side.
"Are you alright?"Melana asked, concerned.
"I'm fine. But, we need a plan though. I can't keep talking forever. I have a 'half-plan' but I know that it won't do the full job,"Peter said.
"What's your plan?"Jiang asked.
Peter whispered it quickly to them.
"Okay, nice plan. How are they not going to kill you once they get it? I am sure the King wants you dead more then anything,"Melana said.
"That's when you guys come in. I need the Starcatchers, Tiger Lily, and you guys to distract Ombra and the Skeleton so I can have some real duel time with the King,"Peter replied.
"Cool,"Jiang said as she and Melana got up to tell the others.
"Wait, Jiang I need to talke to you,"Peter said, grabbing her arm.
"What is is?"Jiang asked.
"I need you to be a flying distraction."
"But, Peter, I can't fly! I can only levitate."
"Wrong. So you can create starstuff, which means that you have starstuff in you concluding that you can fly."
"I tired. It never worked."
"Think of a wonderful thought. Any merry little thought."
Jiang punched Peter playfully on the arm.
"Don't go singing that annoying Disney song,"Jiang joked.
Peter laughed and said,"But it's true!"
Jiang smiled, I know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"King, you need a council,"Ombra groaned.
"We need action."the Skeleton rapsed.
Ombra hushed the Skeleton with a wave of his spindly fingers.
The King though for a moment.
"The boy is strong again. Stronger then he was before. We need hims weaker so I can target him easily,"the King said.
"I know his weakness,"Ombra groaned.
"What is it?"
"His friends. He is willing to give up everything to save his friends."
"Perfect."
"What are you going to do?"the Skeleton rapsed.
"Oh, you will see."
"Miss me?" Peter teased.
"Not by a lot,"Jiang replied back.
The King slowly gained his composure, still gripping his hand.
"How did you acquire that power?"he asked.
"Oh, you know, starstuff. I get to fly, shoot stuff, make stuff, and more. Too bad for you, dark stuff can't do much,"Peter teased.

"Oh, you will see."
Chapter 22: Surrounded
Peter grunted as he tried carrying the chest back to Neverland, he looked ahead and the island seemed to be miles away. He grumbled and wished that he could create starstuff like Jiang to make it lighter. He decided to try and put the chest in the snow. Concentrating all his energy into his hands, he felt a burning hot sensation and golden starstuff was expanding in his hand. Grinning over his achievement, he knelt down towards the chest and unlocked it. Then, he let a small quantity of starstuff fall into the gold box. He closed all the lids and tried lifting it again. It weighed any more then a feather.
That's better.
He reviewed the plan in his mind before he picked up the chest.
For a second, he doubted it was going to work at all, but clearing his thoughts because he knew that he wouldn't fail.
Just as he lifted the chest and about to fly off, he remember one last thing to finish up his plan.
He floated off the ground and flew as fast as he could to Mermaid Lagoon.
------<>------
Jiang felt a surge of heat as the group calmed their excitement.
"Guys, Peter is coming . . . I think we can meet up with him. I will lead,"Jiang said, starting towards the entrance. Until Mike put a hand on her shoulder to halt.
"Jiang, it may be dangerous to go out right now. It could be a trap to lure you in,"Mike explained.
Jiang brushed her dad's hand off her shoulder and turned towards him.
"I am going. There is a reason why we are outside a cell instead of in a cell. We are needed. right now we are needed in a war. A war against light and darkness. Now, I am going so who's coming with me?"Jiang asked.
Melana raised her hand, then Tiger Lily and the rest of the Starcatcher group.
Jiang looked into her father's eyes, pleading for him to join in too. He shrugged and raised his hand.
"Let's go,"Jiang said.
As they waled out of the cave, they noticed the tiny streams of sunlight breaking through the dark clouds.
"It's Peter. I just know it,"Jiang mumbled.
------<>------
The King and the Others watched the escape group in the shadows, following their every movement. The King knew that the Watcher girl was going to lead them towards Peter. So far, the King's plan was going exactly as planned. He plan never falters in any way. His first part of his plan it that the watcher girl will go after Peter Pan. When they get there, he will catch Peter off guard because he will be too relaxed with the reunion. He also brought reinforcement incase something gets out of hand. He noticed that the group was headed towards the shoreline.
Perfect, just a place where I can see and execute every single one of them.
------<>------
They arrived at Cannibal Cove, searching everywhere fo any sign of Peter. Everyone was looking around while Jiang was fully confused.
"Where is he? I feel starstuff, but I don't know where . . . but it's here,"Jiang mumbled.
"Don't ask me, I'm no expert,"Melana mumbled back to her.
Then Jiang heard a rustle in the nearby bushes. She put her finger to her lips to quiet everyone.
The air was silent, except for the rustling that was getting louder.
Then from the shadows of the bushes, the form of the King formed. The small group kept their composure as the forms of Ombra and Skeleton appeared after the King.
"Well, well, what a pleasure to meet you all. What's the occasion?" King asked, forming a handgun with black dust.
"I think you might already know,"Jon answered.
"The boy? You people are pathetic."
"How?"
"The boy is useless. he is so done for that there is no way that he was enough strength to defeat anyone, even if he was revived,"King said as he slowly turned towards Jiang, aiming the gun to her head.
"This girl seem to have great powers. She may be more useful to me then the boy."King continued.
"You don't need me for your dark plans,"Jiang shot back.
The King walked up to Jiang and revealed the red eyes that were under his hood to her.
"Yes, I do. You have starstuff in you, starstuff that I need. The boy can only fly but you can create starstuff."
"Now hold up! Jiang is my daughter and you have no right to take her,"Mike yelled, getting im between the King and Jiang.
The King just stood there and staring at Mike intent;y with his red eyes.
"Very foolish move,"the King said and aimed the gun to Mike. He was about to pull the trigger until a fiery ball of starstuff knocked the gun out of the King's hands.
The King let out an unearthly scream as he clutched his hand.
"You are using a gun? I thought you Others have more bigger powers then that!"
Jiang looked up and saw a certain someone flying above them.
"Peter!"
"Where is he? I feel starstuff, but I don't know where . . . but it's here,"Jiang mumbled.
"Don't ask me, I'm no expert,"Melana mumbled back to her.
Then Jiang heard a rustle in the nearby bushes. She put her finger to her lips to quiet everyone.

Chapter 20: Alive
Melana and Jiang stumbled into the cavern in Mermaid Lagoon in the most ungraceful way ever. The Starcatchers helped Melana carry Jiang into a comfortable resting place, while Tiger Lily's eyes stared expectantly at the,.
"Did it work?'she asked.
"Yea, I think. You couldn't believe it! Jiang covered the ocean head to toe with starstuff! I am pretty sure it got to Peter,"Melana said.
Tiger Lily nodded and they both walked back to where the others were, watching Jiang who was barely rousing.
"Jiang! That was amazing!"Melana said, hugging Jiang tightly.
"It worked,"she muttered.
"Yea, I hope it will get to Peter."
"It did. I sense a strangely high starstuff signature in the east. I think . . . it is Peter."
"Peter is alive?"Tiger Lily asked.
Jiang nodded slowly, then faster to show her confidence.
The group cheered their hearts out in a silent matter
------<>------
Peter slowly lifted his head from the ground, noticing that he fainted from the high exposure of starstuff. When he got up, he felt strength that he didn't have for a while and a lightness inside of him. He looked back at the chest . . . it was empty.
All the starstuff . . . is in me?
He looked down at his hand and it gave off a faint golden glow, the glow of starstuff.
I'm . . . glowing.
He tried to fly and he lifted off the ground with ease. He looked at the ground and saw his shadow underneath him.
I can fly again!
He noticed that the blizzard stopped and streams of sunlight were trying to break through the harsh storm clouds above. Peter couldn't hold back the urge to shoot into the air and do his rooster crow. Thankful for all the strength that he got back.
------<>------
Ombra emerged warily from the shadows as he sulked towards the King.
"Well?"King asked.
"I didn't find the one you wanted, but I sensed a stronger Watcher,"Ombra groaned.
"Who might that be?"
"Peter Pan."
The King erupted from his seat and walked harshly over to Ombra.
"He is alive?"
"Yes and quite powerful. His shadow escaped from my grasp and streams of sunlight are cracking in the sky."
"How did he revive?
"I believe it was the other Watcher."
The King nodded slowly, taking it all into consideration.
"Ombra, bring the Skeleton. We are going to have a council."
------<>------
After Peter whooped his heart out, he looked back at the chest. he thought of the King and how much he wanted the starstuff.
He smiled mischievously and swooped down towards the chest.
Scheming a plan.
"Did it work?'she asked.
"Yea, I think. You couldn't believe it! Jiang covered the ocean head to toe with starstuff! I am pretty sure it got to Peter,"Melana said.
Tiger Lily nodded and they both walked back to where the others were, watching Jiang who was barely rousing.

Chapter 19: Revival
Melana quickly grabbed Jiang from falling, but still looking in amazement as the starstuff glow dissolved into the snow. Making the snow glow from underneath.
"Cool,"Melana mustered to mumbled after being speechless.
------<>------
The King looked at his security monitors when the strange flash appeared. The flash was only for a instance, but there was a soft afterglow on the ground. He zoomed in on the images and discovered what the flash and the glow was.
Starstuff, he thought.
He turned towards the shadows and commanded,"Repeat the monitors."
The monitor went back a minute and on the screen, he saw two girls.
The girls with Pan, he thought.
He saw the Asian one create a warm glow and shoot it towards the ocean.
He turned towards the shadow again and commanded,"Ombra."
A slithery, hooded creature appeared from the shadows.
"Is that one of the Pan's?"King asked.
"Yes, Jiang Pan as I recall,"Ombra replied.
"Oh, the feisty one,"King said, then he mimicked towards the monitors,"is she a Watcher?"
Ombra was still for a moment, watching the monitors.
"She is, isn't she? Who can shoot starstuff from the palm of their hands? That makes it more interesting and useful. Bring her to me. I want her unharmed,"King commanded to Ombra.
Ombra nodded and slithered away into the shadows again.
------<>------
The vision slowly faded as Peter became more aware that he was no longer in a warm embrace, but in a slightly chilly environment. He opened his eyes to a warkm glow of . . . starstuff?
Peter woke up completely, gasping for a breathe as he felt uncontrollably water drops form above, blocking his vision and making him disoriented. As he caught some steady but chilly breathes, he decided to thrash his way out of his snow grave. He thrashed upward because he remembered lying back first. He felt his hand burst through the deep snow and into the cold snowing air. He thrashed some more until he heaved his entire body above the snow.
Peter collapsed to the ground, out of breathe and exhausted from his struggle. He slowly sat up and looked around, becoming aware that the entire snow area around him had a golden glow.
How can there be starstuff everywhere?
After a while of thinking and thanking to Jesus, he struggled to get on his feet. Noticing the his fatigue too late, he crumpled to the snow again in a wave of nausea.
Jesus, please help me to become stronger, Peter silently pleaded as he tried to fight off the wave of nausea.
No answer.
Well, I guess I should be glad that I am back from the dead in a still workable condition, Peter thought.
As he looked at the golden snow, he started to focus. Focusing on locating a major starstuff source. As he was focusing, his right side started burning hotter and hotter. He half stumbled and half crawled his way to the burning heat source. As he felt that he was directly on tip of the source, his hand landed on a hood.
The lost chest.
He pushed the snow out of the way and pulled the lite chest out of it's hole.
The chest was a simple wood design and a wooden lock that secured it shut. He felt around his coat for a sharp object to break the lock with and ht felt his dagger. He pulled out his dagger and swung hard on the lock itself. When the lock was broken, he opened the chest to find a golden box. He unlatched it and a stream of starstuff surrounded him. He greeted the warmth as it restored him and he felt his weakness fade away.

Ombra traveled through the shadows as a particular shadow started thrashing in his burlap bag. He pulled out his bag that contained the shadow. The bad was glowing and the shadow emerged from the bag. Ombra tried to grasped it, but the shadow couldn't be grasped.
Ombra groaned in frustration as the shadow darted away.
Pan is alive and stronger. The Watcher revived him.
"Cool,"Melana mustered to mumbled after being speechless.
