Wizards Vs Aliens

Chloe Martin is an Internet sensation, a street magician due to appear on a Hex TV show. Tom and Benny realize that she is a wizard but when they visit her she tells them that she was orphaned as a baby and, brought up in a children's home with no parents to explain her gift to her, believes her special powers are actually telekinesis. Many other wizards have, like Tom and Benny, cottoned on to the real nature of Chloe's powers, and a hundred of them have turned up at the television studio to stop her from performing and revealing to a hostile world that wizardry exists in the twenty-first century. But the show is a fake, a ploy devised by the Nekross and its producer is a disguised Varg, who has succeeded in bringing all the wizards to one place to steal their magic.

The wizards are trapped in a force field but Michael destroys the machine to extract the magic so Lexi summons a mother ship to beam up the wizards. Chloe and Tom head for the roof and create a storm, which delays the ship whilst Benny gets rid of the force field and frees the captives. With a hundred angry wizards summoning all their energy to protect themselves the Nekross are forced to retreat - but later return to claim a victim.

Ursula and the boys visit a sinister house to get rid of an unknown entity, which turns out to be Squiggley, a verse-spouting hobbledehoy. Whilst he sees off the intrusive Varg he also effects a switch whereby Benny becomes a wizard and Tom a geek. They seek to find him again to reverse the process - as does Varg, now imbued with Ursula's magic and fearful that his family will extract it from him. Unfortunately the Nekross reach Squiggley first and destroy him for his magic.

The Nekross have destroyed Squiggley but Tom learns that Hobbledehoys exist in pairs, one to cast a spell, the other to retract so they find the second one, though he is very reluctant to cooperate. Ursula teleports Varg into the lair to change powers with him and eventually Tom, thinking like Benny, tricks the creature into putting things back to normal. The Hobbledehoy even likes the lair so much he decides to stay.

Whilst conducting an experiment in magic requiring aggression Tom is injured and Ursula discovers that the only cure lies in the cave of Menla-Gto in Tibet, to which she transports herself, Michael and Tom. Meanwhile Randal creates a spell which will allow him to leave the lair for the first time, rendering himself invisible, and, along with Benny, he leaves to find the 'magic mirror' which will thwart the Nekross. However the aliens have already honed in on Tom and his family and confront them outside the cave.

Ursula, Michael and Tom are rescued by Tseringma, the world-weary, three thousand year old guardian of the cave, who tells them that global disbelief in magic has weakened its potency but is relieved to sacrifice herself in order to heal Tom, whom she sees as a future champion of all wizardry. Meanwhile Benny and Randal discover the magic triptych mirror, which will triple Randal's magic powers and, although they are captured by the Nekross, Randal's combined use of magic and science enables them to escape as well as saving Tom and his family from another Nekross encounter.

Benny is on work experience at Psyke, a computer games firm based in the Wyvern House tower block, where he meets fellow geek Alicia. There is no thirteenth floor in the building - from which, over the years people have mysteriously disappeared - but first Varg, infiltrating the block in search of magic, and then Alicia's boss Mrs Hatcher vanish after the lift stops at the thirteenth floor. Lexi, in human form, comes looking for her brother and forces Tom into the lift with her and it again stops at the thirteenth floor. Stepping out they find they are in the Neverside, a sinister wood full of dark magic, where they find Mrs Hatcher, now an old woman despite having only arrived there a few hours earlier. When Benny and Alicia ask Mervyn, the odd caretaker, where Tom might be he merely tells them that, like so many others, he has 'disappeared'.

During a solar eclipse the Nekross put into effect their plan to control the moon's orbit, causing a permanent eclipse and total darkness on Earth. As wizards can only have three spells every sunrise and there is no sun it means an end to their powers. Then the Nekross announce their demand to Tom and his family that unless the world's wizards are surrendered millions will die.
