The Curse

## Summary

Chief Gloria has never been upset or angry at her team, but one night while facing Edward and Xander, Nayah is accidentally forced to break the rule, even though she doesn't want to. To make matters worse, Baby Ox is sick with a cold and can't chase anyone who messes up. Things really heat up when Edward and Linda tease Nayah, so Chief Gloria decides that enough is enough and puts a protection spell on Nayah so that she'll be protected by the teammates, but then, Jackie reveals that Zaria and Zamar are under a curse and the only way to break the curse is for someone to do something kind. Can the curse be broken? Find out while you read.

## Chapter 1: Truth Or Dare

"Nayah, truth or dare?" Brett asked. The team was in HQ, playing truth or dare and Nayah had only agreed to play if her teammates were the ones asking her normal questions and giving her normal dares.

She looked at Kace with a twinkle in her eyes because she had usually picked truth every time a team played the game, but she wasn't going to pick truth this time because she wanted to prove to her teammates that she was more than just a shy girl.

"Dare." Nayah smiled confidently, hoping that one of her teammates would give her a good dare. Brett smiled as KC walked up to Nayah, smiling. The sixteen-year-old smiled at her best friend as Nayah took a step back, feeling a bit nervous of what KC was going to dare her to do.

"I dare you to sing Replay." "In front of everyone." KC smirked as Nayah looked at her like she was crazy.

"Okay, Kace." Nayah smirked, grabbing a glittery blue and purple microphone. She looked at her teammates and she started to sing.

"Woah!" "I was just kidding, I was actually going to give you a totally different dare, but this is even better!" "Great job, bestie!" Kace giggled.

"Thanks, Kace." Nayah smiled as an alarm blared.

"It's mission time, huh?" Chessie giggled.

"Yeah." "I have a bad feeling about this." Nayah shuddered.

## Chapter 2: Introducing Flora

"Team, Edwin will be joining us for this mission." "Nayah, you and Nix have to face Linda and Xander." Gloria said as Nayah started pacing up and down. Out of all the villains she had to deal with, she and Nix had to deal with Linda and Xander. She hoped Edwin would come through with something amazing in case she fell to the ground.

"We're ready to take them down!" Nix and Nayah said together. The two girls embraced warmly as Nix looked at Nayah, who had a very upset expression on her face. Nix locked eyes with her fifteen-year-old friend, who sighed deeply as Nixie placed her hands on Nayah's shoulders.

"Nayah, I know you're scared, bestie." "Trust me, I'd much rather be at the froyo place eating frozen yogurt with you and the rest of the teammates rather than dealing with Linda and Xander, but can you try and be brave?" "I know you can do it, girlfriend."

"We may be apart for this mission, but we're all together at the same time." Nix said softly as Nayah put on her game face. She knew that Nixie was right, she'd dealt with Linda and Xander, and she could do it all over again. But could she do it without falling?

"I can do this." "I have to." Nayah smiled as she and Nix zoomed to the frozen yogurt place, which was where Edwin was hiding in a big green bush. He smiled at the girls and gestured them over. Quietly and slowly, the girls walked over as Edwin pointed to Linda and Xander.

"They're trying to rob the frozen yogurt place." "I've got evidence, but I wanted to hide here until you girls got here." "We need a plan to take them down." Edwin whispered. Nayah suddenly closed her eyes, thinking. She then saw a sheet covering something.

"What's that?" Nix asked softly as Edwin smiled, as he had secretly been working on a robot tiger named Flora. She was the secret to taking Linda and Xander down.

"Oh, that's just my robot tiger, Flora." "She's the secret to taking Linda and Xander down." Edwin whispered as Linda and Xander walked over, so Edwin, Nix, and Nayah came out from behind the bush.

"Hello, babe." Xander smirked as Nixie looked at Nayah, who started to scream, slowly starting to collapse to the ground. She felt light-headed and dizzy, but she couldn't stay awake. So she reached for Nixie's hand.

"Nix.." Nayah could barely say Nixie's nickname as Linda fired lasers at her, making her scream a lot louder, so Nix gently placed her left index finger on her friend's lips to keep her from talking.

"Don't worry, Eddie and I have everything under control." Nix murmured as Nayah smiled weakly, closing her eyes in the process.

"Eddie, I think it's time for Flora to make her entrance." Nix whispered as Eddie nodded, removing the sheet off of Flora. He then pressed the green button on the remote control to power her up.

"Hello, Eddie." Flora smiled, then saw Nayah had fainted. She let out a growl as she walked towards Xander, her darling purple eyes shining with fierce anger.

"Flora, you can't do anything." "You're a robot, babe." Xander smirked as Flora's ears perked up.

She knew it was time for her to use her superpowers. Eddie walked over with the remote control in his hands. He looked at the remote control until he found the dark blue button, gently pressing it.

*"Open wide for me, Flora."* Eddie's automated voice came from the remote control.

Flora's eyes narrowed as she opened her mouth, using suction to suck Xander in.

"Great job, Flora." "You did beautifully." Eddie smiled. Flora let out a small robotic purr as her caretaker patted her head. Nix suddenly noticed her bracelet was ringing.

"Hello, Jax." Nixie said softly. She could hear Jackie's heavy breathing before she said a single sentence.

"We've got *double trouble!"* Jackie said as Nix gasped, knowing exactly what she meant.

"Oh, no!" "Nayah's fainted and I can't leave her here." "I'll send Eddie and Flora over."

"Flora is Edwin's robotic tiger." "She's beautiful, but she can do something really cool." "Eddie and I are almost at HQ." Nix said as her bracelet clicked.

## Chapter 3: Flora's Fired Up!

"Eddie, the other teammates need us." "I need you to ride on Flora's back while I carry Nayah." Nix whispered. She looked at Eddie, who started to sprinkle glitter on the grass to make Flora follow him, and once the two got to HQ, Flora suddenly realized why Edwin had brought her there.

She had a job to do, and she wasn't going to fail. Smirking, she walked up to Edward, her darling violet eyes shining with fierce anger. She knew that he had said the word babe, and she was not going to let him get away with it, not after what Edwin had told her about him.

"Hello, Edward." Flora snarled as Edward smirked before he said one word.

"Babe." Ed smirked as Flora slowly opened her mouth, ready to trap him. She looked over at Edwin, who nodded his head yes for confirmation.

"Go ahead, my sweet tiger." "Teach Edward a lesson." Edwin said, starting to laugh. He watched as Flora spun around, trapping Edward.

"Nice work, Firefox." Edwin smiled. He patted her head as she purred again.

"Thanks." 'I do what I can for my BFF." Flora smiled.

K.C. and Nix suddenly ran to HQ.

## Chapter 4: Nayah Awakens

"Mmm.. What happened?" "Why am I in HQ?" Nayah murmured, her eyes opening. She suddenly saw Xander smirking evilly at her, so she started to panic.

Xander covered her mouth to make her stop. He smirked at her again as she sighed.

"Shh.. You're going to get me in trouble." "All I want is for you to be nice to me for the entire day." "Can you do that?" He asked as Nayah could feel her blood boil.

She knew what Xander really needed her for. He wanted her to pull the trick on him.

As K.C. and Nix walked in, the two gasped.

"Nayah, what happened?" "And what are you doing here, Xander?" K.C. asked suspiciously. Xander chuckled.

"I'm just trying to merely negotiate with her, that's all." Xander replied innocently. However, Nayah could tell he was lying.

"K.C., Nix, he isn't trying to negotiate with me, he's trying to force me into breaking the rule so that I get chased and tickled." Nayah said angrily.

"So you think you can just walk in here, scare the living daylight out of my girl Nayah, and get away with it?" K.C. growled, turning to Xander, who smirked.

"Nayah, I love you, babe." Xander smirked as Nayah looked at K.C., who got prepared to catch her. Nayah slowly collapsed into her best friend's arms, starting to scream. She then closed her eyes.

"Mm.. Looks like someone's getting chased and tickled again." Nix smirked. She closed her eyes, counting down from nine in Spanish.

"Xandra, Xaiden, the two of you are going to be just fine so now it's time for you to shine!" Nix chanted as Xandra and Xaiden flew out of her necklace.

"We know what to do." Xandra smirked. She and Xaiden began to tickle Xander as Nix watched, laughing.

"Keep tickling, cuties." "Let all your anger out." Nix grinned. She sat down next to K.C., who started to cry.

"She just awakened, and she fainted again.. I-I can't lose her." "She's been my closest friend since kindergarten." "When Nevaeh and Ally were bullying me, she stuck up for me without hesitation." "When I couldn't afford new light up shoes, she donated a pair to me."

"She's done a lot for me, and I've done a lot for her, too." "We're inseparable." "Whenever we're undercover, we're always together." "We fight crime together, we have lunch together, and sometimes, we even get in trouble together." "I just can't imagine my life without Nayah.." K.C. sobbed as Nix placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't cry, K." "She'll wake up." "We just need to stay positive." Nix smiled comfortingly as Chessie walked in, kissing Nayah's forehead to wake her up. The 15-year-old slowly opened her eyes, then started to cry.

*"I wish I could make Nayah feel better." Kace wished.*

*"Time to glow up!" Layla cheered.*

"Nayah, do you want me to play your favorite song for you?" K.C. asked. Nayah nodded slowly as K.C. began to play Replay by Z.

"Thanks, K." Nayah smiled.

"No problem." K smiled.

## Chapter 5: A Night Of Tickles

"C'mon, Brett, you know you want to say the one word that's off-limits." Linda smirked as Zoe looked at Zion with an uh-oh look. The twins knew Brett was great at keeping promises, but they didn't know if they could sway him into resisting the aching temptation of saying the one word that was off limits.

He glanced over at them, smiling uncomfortably. Zoe and Zion nodded, flying out of the bushes. The two glared at Linda with stone cold eyes.

"Don't worry, Zoe, Zion." "I haven't said you-know-what yet, and I'm not going to, promise." Brett promised as Zoe started into his eyes, trying to see If he was being honest. Brett nodded slowly, hugging Zoe and Zion.

"We believe you, buddy." "Linda, you're going down!" "Zion, tiger tackle!" Zoe cheered as her twin tackled Linda to the ground. He then saw Kamala approaching.

"Zoe, look out!" "Kamala's coming in your direction!" Zion called to his twin, who looked at Brett, who gently tackled her to the ground.

"You're safe, Z." "Don't worry, I'm not going to let you get hurt tonight, love." Brett whispered as Kamala walked over to him, smirking, looking right at Zoe before she said one word.

"Babe." Kamala smirked as Zoe started to whine in pure discomfort, looking at Brett, who gently picked her up.

She looked at her owner, who sighed deeply, lying her down on a cloud. Zion flew over, glaring at Kamala.

"Zi-Zi, I love you so much." Zoe's eyes closed as she moaned. Zion started to whimper, but his sadness didn't last long. He glared at Kamala with cold eyes, filled with hatred and resentment.

"It's over, Kamala." Zion snarled as he looked at Brett, who whistled, attracting the attention of the Chasers and Nayah.

"OK, Chasers." "Time for you four to teach Kamala a lesson." Nayah said firmly as Baby Ox nodded at Dexter, Landon, and Shadow. The four animals started to chase Kamala.

"Aww, don't worry, fox." "I can wake Zoe up." Nayah said reassuringly. She suddenly started crying, which awakened Zoe.

"Nayah, you did it.. Thank you." Zoe moaned.

"Zoe, what's wrong?" "Where does it hurt?" Brett asked, concerned.

"It's my front left paw... Xander lasered me purposely so that I would get hurt, and my paw hurts like crazy." "I know my paw isn't broken because I can still move it around." "I just want your love.." Zoe whimpered.

"Oh, Zoe, I wanna make you feel better.. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Brett asked.

"Can you give me three raspberries?" Zoe asked. Brett nodded, giving her exactly three raspberries.

"Thank you.." Zoe said softly.

"No worries, Z." "I've always got your back." Brett smiled.
