Everybody wanted a sequel to L is for Loser, so I decided to try the other episodes as well. It's possible I stop after S is for Self. I also have to tell you that M is for Mercy and a couple of other episode are mainly based on either how Will/Irma/Cornelia go Nerissa like (N is for Narcissist, O is for Obedience, Q is for Quarry) or how Nerissa gathers the other former Guardians (Like this episode). That's why sometimes I focus more on Zafyra and Shagon than the actual story.

M is for Mercy REWRITTEN

Part 1

Yan-Lin was dressed warmly. She had to. She was planning to visit an old friend. She walked over a snowy path in the mountains. She walked while holding her arm up to keep the snow out of her eyes. The sun shined and she stopped at an open spot with five stones standing and one stone laying flat on the ground. She wiped some snow from her hood and walked towards the flat stone.

'It has been too long Cassidy, my dear friend' Yan-Lin said.

She laid a bouquet of flowers on the flat stone. 'I promise to see you again, soon.'

With that Yan-Lin teletransported away.

A sudden voice rang over the open spot.

'Perhaps sooner than you think.'

With that three of the five stones deglamoured and it revealed two dark angels, one with a golden mask and one with a silver mask and an old woman with a staff. The angels unfurled their wings and Shagon grabbed the bouquet of flowers.

'Look what I got you.' he said as he gave the bouquet to Zafyra.

Zafyra accepted the bouquet and hugged it.

'Ooh, you shouldn't have.' she said with mock appreciation.

'I have business I must attend and the Guardians must not interfere.' Nerissa said as she looked at her angels of malice.

'We'll drive them to distraction.' Shagon said.

'They hate us. They hate us not. They hate us. They hate us not.' Zafyra said and with every sentence she took one petal from a flower.

'Who are we kidding? They really, really hate us!' Shagon said with malice as he and Zafyra laughed cruelly.

Nerissa smiled at her minions and raised the Heart of Meridian. Both Shagon and Zafyra were teletransported away. She then focused on the flat stone. She shot lightning at it.

'Quintessence.'

A bang was heard. When the smoke cleared away a ghostly figure of a teenage girl appeared. The figure slowly rose.

'Nerissa.' she said in a spooky and ominous voice. She then opened her eyes.

'Wow! You look awful!'

At Will's house

'Will!'

"Will" looked around. She saw a yellow background and some clouds as she was looking for the source of the sound. This was after all a new experience for her. Since she was used at being in the jewelry she never had the leisure to dream. Now that she could she wished she'd never done it. For the passing days she was having scary dreams about her Keeper being killed or tortured or her Keeper's boyfriend being eaten by a giant snake.

'Matt?' she called into the nothingness.

'Will!' Matt's voice called again.

'Matt?' "Will" said desperate. 'Matt, where are you?'

'Here.' an older version of Matt's voice said.

"Will" turned around and saw Shagon towering above her. His eyes lit green and in the distance "Will" heard Zafyra cackle. The moment Shagon wanted to shoot "Will", she awakened.

'Whoa!' she exclaimed as she sat right up in bed.

She looked through her room and saw that she was safe. She groaned.

'Another dream.' she mumbled. 'Why can't my Keeper have peaceful dreams, like ones about… I don't know, unicorns?'

With that she let herself fall back in bed and tried to get some sleep before school. Before she could tell the others about something she felt days ago.

Later that day, in the morning.

"Will" was brought by Will's mother to school. As Will's mother stopped the car, Will's History teacher, Prof. Collins, waved at the two of them. The Heart, trying to keep the act up that she was Will, groaned at the sight. Will's mother saw this and smiled at her 'daughter's' antics.

'Oh, I know. Isn't it awful I've found someone who makes me happy?' Susan said.

A very mean thought came up in "Will's" head which, she knew, would be something her Keeper would say. But instead of that she turned Will's mother and gave her a small smile.

'I guess.' she said.

This made Susan look in confusion at her 'daughter'.

'Will, are you alright?' she asked concerned.

'Sure.' "Will" said with a fake smile. 'I mean, if you like to talk like a bad soap opera than it's your choice, right?'

Susan sighed. For a moment she thought that there was something wrong with her daughter, but now she was being her normal teenage self.

*That was way too close!* "Will" thought as she stepped out of the car. *Maybe I should stick with my Keeper's sayings…*

She saw Collins again waving at Will's mother and she felt an annoyance bubbling inside her. She saw the other Guardians and ran up to them. As the bell rang and they went inside "Will" spoke.

'Nightmares aren't enough, now I'm having daymares as well?' she muttered to the other Guardians.

While Irma and Taranee smirked Hay-Lin piped up: 'Last night, I dreamt of unicorns'

Oh sweet Irony.

'Hea…Will, relax. Remember, you're not the real Will.' Cornelia said to the Heart.

'How can I forget, with you reminding me of it every single day?' "Will" replied sarcastically.

Cornelia decided to ignore this and continued.

'And how can you dream? I mean aren't you just….you know…'

'A piece of pretty jewelry?' "Will" said with a wry smile. 'Why Earth Guardians are always this skeptic I'll never understand.'

'Hey listen missy.' Cornelia said, feeling offended by this comment.

'Cornelia, not now.' Taranee said.

'Sorry for saying that, Cornelia.' "Will" said. 'It's just that, missing my Keeper and all, I'm kinda annoyed.'

Cornelia nodded.

'Besides during break, I want to tell you all something.'

At Mt. Thanos.

Shagon and Zafyra were preparing themselves for the mission that their mistress had given them. Neither of them knew that someone was spying on them. While Ember was watching Zafyra, Tridart was watching Shagon.

'What does she have that I don't?' Ember muttered to herself as she watched Zafyra practice her glamour. 'I'm ten times better than her.'

Tridart was watching Shagon with the same thoughts as Ember. When they saw that Shagon and Zafyra got up, they quickly went to their own spots in the cave.

'Zafyra, I need to talk to you.' Shagon said.

Zafyra came walking to him. 'Yes?'

'It's about the Guardians.'

At Sheffield Institute. Break time.

'Say what?' the girls said after "Will" finished talking.

'I have the strange feeling that my Keeper and Zafyra are connected.' "Will" repeated.

'What do you mean?' Taranee asked confused.

'All I know is that the moment Zafyra showed up I felt this…connection with her. The same as I feel with my Keeper.' "Will" said, looking helpless.

'Great, next you'll tell us that Will is Zafyra.' Irma said sarcastically.

Hay-Lin started laughing but muffled it by placing her hand on her mouth.

'That would be silly.' she said.

"Will" smiled at the Guardians.

'Yeah, maybe because I'm worried about her, and thanks to my Keeper's feelings I'm also worried about Matt, I just imagine things.' she said.

'Relax.' Cornelia said, squeezing "Will's" hand. 'We'll find them.'

At Mt. Thanos.

'Say what?' Zafyra sneered at Shagon.

'You heard me.' he said harshly.

'You can't leave me here.' Zafyra replied coldly. 'The mistress gave me the same order as you. I have as much rights in annoying the Guardians as you have!'

'Zafyra lower your voice.' Shagon said.

'I will come with you.' she stated coldly.

Shagon sighed. 'You…I….Fine. But only the first part. You will stay out of this afterwards, understood?'

'Fine.' Zafyra said dully.

Shagon walked away, looking for Khor, Ember and Tridart. Zafyra knew he was going to tell them what was going to happen. She watched him walk away.

'As if I'm going to let you have all the fun.' she muttered darkly.

At Mr. Olsen's pet shop

"Will" walked towards the store. She and the other girls agreed that it would be a good idea to see if Mr. Olsen knew something about Matt's 'disappearance'. She entered the shop when she heard someone yell.

'Close the door!'

"Will" looked around and saw that every animal was out of its cage. She saw Mr. Olsen trying to catch the animals, without much luck.

'Hey Mr. Olsen!' "Will" yelled. 'Need a hand?'

'If it isn't too much trouble.' Mr. Olsen replied.

"Will" sighed. She sparked her powers a little and quickly went to work. In no time all animals were in their cages. When "Will" freed Mr. Olsen from the boa constrictor she went to look if he was alright.

'How did they all get out, Mr. Olsen?' she asked.

'I have no idea.' Mr. Olsen replied as he sat on the ground. 'I'm so distracted today, but you know why.'

"Will" raised an eyebrow. 'I do?' she asked.

Mr. Olsen looked confused as he took a piece of paper. 'Didn't you get a letter from Matt?'

"Will's" eyes widened as she shook her head.

'Really? His parents got one. They're terribly upset, of course.' Mr. Olsen said. 'I just thought that you…Well…Well… Here, let me.'

He opened the letter and started to read.

'Dear grandpa,

I'm Hollywood bound. They say a new rock band forms there every five minutes and I know that I'm lead guitar in the next one.'

"Will" couldn't believe her ears. Was Matt really leaving her? She sighed as she sat down next to Mr. Olsen. She then read the last part of the letter.

'Don't worry about Mr. Huggles, he's with me. Take care of yourself.

Love Matt.'

'It's really his handwriting.' she said disappointed. 'And he is really gone… With no goodbye.'

'Oh don't be too angry with him Will, dear.' Mr. Olsen said in an attempt to cheer her up. 'Sometimes young men get overwhelmed by school or work…'

'Or witch.' "Will" muttered.

Mr. Olsen got up as a parrot flew from his shoulder.

'Matt left me a little discombobulated…and shorthanded. I don't suppose you're interested in part-time employment?'

The parrot flew to "Will" and landed on her arm. She thought about Mr. Olsen's words.

'I think I'd liked that.' she said.

'Perhaps you should talk about it with your mother first.' Mr. Olsen said.

"Will" smiled. 'Oh, I just tell her I found a job that makes me happy.'

Later that day

It was evening. "Will" and Mr. Olsen exited the pet shop.

Mr. Olsen wanted to close his shop when "Will" pointed at his head.

'Uhm…Mr. Olsen?'

'What?' he asked. He looked up and saw a frog sitting on his head. 'Oh dear.'

He went back in his shop and came quickly out of it. Without the frog.

'That was a good first day, Will.' Mr. Olsen said with a smile.

"Will" smiled back. 'Thanks. I had fun. Goodnight!'

"Will" walked back towards her house when she heard Mr. Olsen scream. She ran back to the alley. When she arrived she saw Mr. Olsen laying on the ground.

'Mister Olsen! Are you okay?' she asked concerned.

'It was a little like that time the Rottweiler was in for a toenail clipping.' Mr. Olsen said a little dazed.

'Did you get a look at him?' "Will" asked as she looked around in the hope to see the person who attacked Mr. Olsen.

'The bandit wore a mask.' Mr. Olsen said with a sigh.

*A mask? Who would…. Shagon!* "Will" thought.
