Disclaimer: I do not own W.I.T.C.H. I watch the show cause, male or female, heroes that use the elements are pretty cool. Takes place after season two.
Chapter 1:
Kandrakar, five hundred years ago.
"Do you think this cell will hold me, fools?", a man with black hair and red eyes yelled. "I am Targas! I shall break free of this prison! No matter how long it takes!"
"The only way you will be able to escape is if this gem that contains your powers is broken.", the Oracle said as he sent the gem through the fold. "And I'm sending both you and it to the place here you got your powers. The Shadow Realm."
The Oracle then began to seal Targas in a crystal shell.
"Enjoy this victory while you all can!", Targas said with a smirk as he was being sealed away. "For I shall be free! And once I am, I shall use your greatest weapon to take over Kandrakar and rule the known worlds!"
"Not so long as there are Guardians and Defenders to protect the Known Worlds.", the Oracle said as he sent the crystal cell, Targas was now trapped in through the fold to the Shadow Realm. "Let us hope we've seen the last of Targas."
Five hundred years later, during the battle with the Guardians and Defenders, against Phobos, Necra, Paul and Nerissa.
"Keep the heat on, you guys!", Sho said to Taranee and Scott as he and Cornelia were using their power over earth to pull the Shadow Gem apart. "We just about got it!"
"Don't worry!", Tarnee said as she and Scott kept the heat going. "We've got it."
"You two just keep doing what you're doing!", Scott said.
"Almost there!", Cornelia said as she and Sho were pulling it apart with their powers. "Got it!"
Suddenly, the Shadow Gem began to crack all over. Seeing this, Sho and Cornelia gave it one big pull and broke the Shadow Gem in two! Once that happened, Phobos, Necra, Nerissa, and Paul began to feel weak, as the others stopped their attacks on them.
But what none of them knew was somewhere in the Shadow Realm, the man known as Targas had awoken. With a smirk, he shattered his crystal cell, freeing himself.
"So it seems thst the Shadow Gem, that held my powers, was broken.", Targas said as he looked around the Shadow Realm.
Just then he saw a thing of violet and black energy come at him. Targas simply smiled as he braced himself for the impact. Once it hit him, he felt a surge of energy rush through him.
"Ah!", Targas said as he settled down a bit. "It feels good to have my powers back! And with my powers back, I can hide myself from the Oracle's vision! I wonder how much time has past on Earth, since I was cast away here."
Targas then opened a fold to Earth.
"Only one way to find out.", Targas said as he went through the fold.
Once on Earth, Targas saw that things were indeed different now.
"It looks like times have changed.", Targas said as he flew into an alley. "I need to know what's what before I do anything. But first, I believe a change is in order."
Targas then saw a man walk by in a suit with a trench coat and dress shoes.
"That will do nicely.", Targas said as he snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, his robes changed into the same clothes the man had on. Targas then began to walk along the streets to see the new world .
"And while I'm searching this world, I think I test the skills of the Guardians and Defenders of this generation.", Targas said with a smirk as he made his way down the street.
Five months later...
It was a nice Summer afternoon in the backyard of the Lair's home, as they were having a cookout with all the families of the Guardians and Defenders were there. Now the family members of our heroes were having a great time talking and/or playing games with each other. But our heroes on the other hand were tired from their last fight with a new kind of enemy as they were all sitting at a table half-asleep.
"Okay, little brother.", Tim O'Flannery said to his little brother. "Why are you all so tired?"
"Very late night battle last night.", Scott replied as he looked up at his older brother.
"How bad could it of been?", Hank Richards asked.
"Very.", Ricky said to his older brother. "We were fighting the newest kind of Shadow Creatures on Metamoor."
"Shadow Creatures?", Tim questioned.
"Yeah.", Taranee said as she leaned onto Ricky. "They're creatures that can somehow jump through shadows and pop up out of another one. Even our own!"
"Sounds tough.", Hank said. "So, what kind were they?"
"This time we were on Zembala fighting wolves.", Hay Lin said before yawning. "Last time we were fighting man-size snakes here on Earth."
"And the time before that we were on Valora taking on some man-size flies.", Irma said.
"And before that, man-size rats on Florana.", Cornelia said before shivering a little.
"For the last few months, we've been fighting these creatures on different worlds.", Angelo said as his Uncle John and Susan came walking up to them. "And we have no solid idea where they're coming from. The best we figure, it's some place in the Shadow Realm."
"So why not go there and stop it at the source?", Susan questioned.
"To risky.", Will said. "The more time we spend in the Shadow Realm, the weaker we get. At least that's what Halinor told us."
"Sh'e right.", John said. "To long in the Shadow Realm will drain your powers."
"All I want is to have a good nights sleep.", Tommy said. "Is that to much to ask?"
"Do you really want the answer to that?", Sho asked.
Just then, the Heart of Kandrakar and the Star Heart began to vibrate feeling this caused Will and Angelo to moan with frustration.
"You've got to be kidding me!", Will said.
"Not again!", Ricky said.
"Sorry guys.", Angelo said. "Duty calls."
"That's it!", Irma snapped as she folded her arms across her chest. "I'm not going anywhere!"
"Come on, Irma.", Hay Lin pleaded with her best friend. "The sooner we go and take care of this, the sooner we can come back and get some rest."
"No!", Irma said as she turned her head. "I'm staying right here!"
Ricky and Scott smirked at each other before walking behind Irma.
"What are you guys doing?", Irma asked.
Ricky then hooked his arm under Irma's left arm, while Scott hooked his under her Right arm. They then lifted her up and made their way towards the front yard.
"Put me down!", Irma demanded as she tried to wiggle her way free.
Tom Lair saw what was going on, as he and Roberto Fernandaz were cooking on the two grills. Will then turned towards them and moved her fingers up and down in a wavy style, letting them know that they were heading off world.
"I get that they're heading off world.", Tom said. "But why is Irma acting like that?"
"Because she doesn't want to go.", John said as he walked up to them. "She refuses to go after having a long night."
"That's Irma for you.", Tom said with a grin. "Stubborn until the end."
"That's our daughter for you.", Anna said. "But I think she'll be okay."
Moments later on Florana...
"That wasn't funny you guys!", Irma said as they all were flying through the skies of Florana.
"Oh yes it was.", Angelo whispered to Hay Lin getting a giggle out of her.
"I'm sorry, Irma.", Scott said as he flew next to her. "But, like Hay Lin said. The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can head back and get some rest."
Irma then flew under Scott and turned to face him.
"You're just lucky that one, you're cute, and two, you're my boyfriend.", Irma said with a small smile.
"What about me?", Ricky asked with a hurt expression.
"You're just lucky.", Irma said as she went back to flying next to Scott.
"Well let's just see how lucky you are.", Tommy said. "Cause we've got company!"
Everyone looked to see some men down on the round trashing a village. They looked like living shadows just like the other creatures they've been fighting for the last month and a half. They were a dark purple with yellow eyes. Just like the other creatures they've been fighting.
"Well, let's get to work.", Will said as they flew down towards the village.
Once they were close enough, W.I.T.C.H. & S.T.A.R.S. dove into action. Irma, Hay Lin, Ricky, and Tommy combined their powers of water and air to freeze a large group of the Shadow Men in their tracks. They then snapped their fingers shattering the ice taking out the Shadow Men trapped in it. Meanwhile, Taranee and Scott rounded a large group of them up in rings of fire, so Will and Angelo could zap them with lightning, turning them into puffs of smoke. Cornelia brought up some strong vines wrapping a great number of them up, while Sho used his powers to bury then underground crushing them into puffs of smoke that came out of the ground. They battle was fierce and tiring, but the Guardians and Defenders finished them off.
Once the area was cleared of the fiends, the people came out of hiding cheering the Guardians and Defenders for saving their village. After accepting their thanks, Angelo opens a fold for Earth. They then head through the fold which lead to Angelo's home. Watching them leave from a distance was Targas who was dressed as a villager.
"Well, they are good.", Targas said as Angelo's fold closed. "No matter what I throw at them, they find a way to beat them. No matter how tired they get."
Targas then headed behind a house and opened a fold for the Shadow Realm.
"It seems that I may have to step up my A-game.", Targas said as he went through the fold.
The fold then closed before anyone could see it. On Earth, our heroes were standing in the living room of the Vanders home. Neither wanted to go back to the cookout, for they were to tired.
"Okay, I vote that we stay were and get some sleep.", Taranee said. "All in favor?"
"Aye!", they all said with tired voices as they made their way to the boy's rooms.
Scott & Irma
"I'm so tired!", Irma yawned as she laid on Scott's bed. "Why can't villains attack during normal hours?"
"I don't know, but if we have to go fight some more Shadow Creatures later on tonight, I just may snap on them!", Scott said as he laid next to Irma.
"You and me both.", Irma said as she snuggled up to Scott. "But for now, let's just enjoy the sleep we're gonna get."
"Don't have to tell me twice.", Scott said as sleep soon overcame them both.
They both were facing each other as they feel asleep, hoping to get as much sleep as possible.
Tommy & Cornelia
"Two battles in the last twelve hours!", Cornelia said. "A girl can only take so much!"
"Well, it's over for now.", Tommy said as they both got on his bed. "I say we get as much sleep as we can."
"Don't have to tell me twice.", Cornelia said as she laid her head on his chest.
The couple soon fell asleep, hoping not to be disturbed.
Angelo & Hay Lin
"Tell them we're sorry, but we're just to tired to come back to the cookout, Uncle John.", Angelo said to his uncle over the phone. "The battle wiped us out."
"I understand, Angelo.", John said. "I remember times when we had days like this."
"Thanks, Uncle J.", Angelo said before yawning.
"Better get some rest.", John said. "You never know when you'll be called into battle."
"Tell me about it.", Angelo said with a grin. "Catch you later, Uncle John."
"Catch you later, boy.", John said as he hung up his cell phone.
Angelo then hung up his phone and laid on his bed, with Hay Lin who was almost asleep as she had her back to him. Angelo then moved closer to her and wrapped his left arm over her. Feeling this, Hay Lin smiled as she moved closer to him. No words were needed as they slowly fell asleep.
Ricky & Taranee
"What a day!", Taranee said with a yawn, as she kicked off her shoes and laid on Ricky's bed with him.
"Oh yeah.", Ricky said as he put his hands behind his head, ready to go to sleep. "But at least we're getting some rest out of it."
"No argument there.", Taranee said as she rested her head on Ricky's chest.
Soon, the young couple fell asleep, not caring if Taranee's parents came walking in suddenly. For they were to tired to care.
Sho & Will
"Need sleep.", Will said as she laid next to Sho. "Need sleep now!"
"Then get all the sleep you need.", Sho said as he wrapped his arms around Will from behind.
"Don't worry.", Will said. "I will."
And she wasn't kidding, as she fell asleep within five minutes along with Sho.
In the Shadow Realm, Targas was in the Throne Room of his palace using his telekinetic powers to set up some staffs, with a purple gem on top of each of them, in a circle. Once he was finished he looked at his handywork.
"That's all ten of them.", Targas said as he sat back on his throne. "Once those fools are in the circle, I can put my plans in motion! But first, I believe it's time to make my presents known."
Targas then let out a flash of energy letting one person and one person alone know that he was free.
In Kandrakar, the Oracle was watching the Known Worlds, through the Viewing Pool, when he felt a familiar presents. But as quick as it came, it vanished. But the Oracle knew all to well who the energy belonged to.
"Targas.". the Oracle said as he walked away from the Viewing Pool. "The Guardians and Defensers must be warned."
"I shall summon them at once, Oracle.", Tibor said as he left the room.
"Let us hope we're not to late.", the Oracle said.
A/N: Sounds like our heroes have been having it tough fighting their newest enemies. But now, the Oracle knows about Targas being free. What will our heroes do once they find out about Targas.? And what does Targas have planned for them?
Please review.
Also, I have a new poll up about something I want to do in my story. So please go to my profile and vote on if I should have our heroes tell Lillian and Chris about themselves.
