On her ring screen, Kara saw a man stuck on the side of a mountain. A huge rock was rolling down toward him.

Super Sparkle arrived just in time. She used her superstrength to stop the rock. Then she rescued the man.

“Baron Von Ravendale?” she said when she saw him. What was her father’s advisor doing on the side of a mountain? Super Sparkle didn’t have time to worry about it. She hoped he wouldn’t recognize her.

Just then, Super Sparkle spotted something purple and shiny flying toward her. It was someone else with powers! She was dressed just like Super Sparkle, but in purple and blue.

“Out of my way! Dark Sparkle’s got this!” the purple hero said. She bumped into Super Sparkle.

Super Sparkle was shocked! Who was Dark Sparkle? What did she want? And why did she look so familiar?

Dark Sparkle zoomed toward the crumbling mountain. She shot purple magic blasts at the falling rocks. Dark Sparkle was trying to help, but she wasn’t very good at using her powers. Instead of stopping the rocks, she caused an avalanche!

Super Sparkle looked at the road below. If she didn’t stop those rocks, Windemere would be crushed! She smashed the rocks and saved the day.

Dark Sparkle stomped her foot in midair. She was mad that Super Sparkle had gotten in her way. She flew off in a huff.

Back at headquarters, Kara told the twins about Dark Sparkle. “She is a total rookie!”

“There’s room in the kingdom for more than one hero, right?” Makalya said.

Kara frowned. It was exciting being the only hero in town. She didn’t want to share the spotlight with Dark Sparkle. But it looked like she had no choice.

Over the next few days, every time Super Sparkle arrived to help, Dark Sparkle did, too. They got in each other’s way. Kara was so frustrated!

One day, Dark Sparkle beat Super Sparkle to a rescue. Dark Sparkle was a hero! She landed on the front page of Wes Rivers’s website.

Kara fumed. Everywhere she went, people only talked about Dark Sparkle. Even her little sisters dressed in purple now. Things could not get any worse. But then she checked Wes Rivers’s website.

At the top of the page, the headline read: “Princess Hero!” Wes Rivers had figured out that she was Super Sparkle! Now the whole kingdom would know. Her parents would find out! Kara groaned. This was definitely worse.
