By the way, the girls have their New Power look.
And now, on with the story!
Chapter 1:
When we last left our heroes, they not only beaten Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and Energy for the Legend Powers, but they also ended up going to their timeline to stop them from taking over their world of Erutana. Now we find our heroes sitting in a room in the fortress of Kandrakar. And they aren't feeling to happy. Mainly Will and Angelo.
"I can't believe it.", Hay Lin said as she looked down at the floor. "I just can't believe it."
"Me neither.", Cornelia said. "I mean to think all of that happened."
"Well it did.", Matt said. "We can try and deny it all we want, but it happened."
"This sucks!", Stephen said. "In our timeline, things are okay. But in this one, so many terrible things went down."
"I wonder how our families, in this timeline are doing?", Irma questioned.
"Who knows?", Peter said. "To be honest, I'd rather not find out."
"Me neither.", Hay Lin said.
"I don't even want to think of a world without you, Hay Lin.", Eric sais as he held Hay Lin's hand while looking at her smiling, making her smile as well.
Stephen did the same action with Irma, while Peter did the same with Cornelia. Matt and Taranee just stood there looking out at one of the balconies of the fortress where they knew Will and Angelo were.
"Think they'll be okay?", Taranee asked.
"To be honest, I don't know.", Matt said. "They're the ones effected the most by what we were shown and told. You don't need to be a mind reader to know what's running through their heads right now."
"Let' just hope for the best.", Taranee said as she and Matt waited for Will and Angelo to return.
As for Will and Angelo, they were out on a balcony from the others, getting some space. After all that they were told, they needed it.
"I can't believe this.", Will said as she looked up at the sky. "It all happened. It all actually happened."
"And what we thought was a bad dream, was really a vision of what happened here.", Angelo said. "I can't believe that in this timeline they're all..."
"Don't say it!", Will said sobbing while shaking her head. "Just don't say it!"
Seeing the pain on her face, Angelo reached out and pulled Will into a comforting hug that she took gratefully as she cried a bit.
"You know we should be with Taranee and Matt.", Angelo said. "So, why are we out here when we should be in there with them."
"Because they don't know what we've been through.", Will said as they held on to each other. "We know what happened here before they were told."
"We felt everything they'v been through.", Will said. "The sadness and dread. The pain of loss. We thought it was just a vision. But it was real! It was all real!"
"It'll be okay, Will.", Angelo said as he wrapped his wings around her as they held each other. "It'll be okay.", he said as she wrapped her wings around him as well.
As they did this, they both began to think back to what unfolded moments ago.
Flashback
There the ten of them were. Standing before the Oracle who was Yan Lin and the Guardians of the timeline they were in. They were Georgi, Ehren, Natasha, Ilana and Edeline. Also known as G.E.N.I.E. At first, nobody said anything. But then Yan Lin decided to break the ice.
"Now that you all are here, there is much we need to talk about.", Yan Lin said.
"Actually, I have a question.", Eric said. "When we first met your Guardians they recognized Angelo and Will right away. Yet they didn't recognize the rest of us. Did something happen to this timeline's version of us?"
Yan Lin looked at Eric and the rest of the teen with a sad face knowing that she was going to have to tell them this sooner or later. So, she figured that it would be best to tell them now.
"Indeed something did happen.", Yan Lin said as she walked over to the Viewing Pool. "Something that caused much pain and sadness."
"So,... what happened?", Hay Lin asked fearing the worst.
With a sad face, Yan Lin tapped the water of the Viewing Pool making images appear before them all. Images that shocked and scared they ten teens. Images that Will and Angelo recognized all to well.
"It can't be!", Will said as she backed away slowly. "It was a dream! Or a vision of the future!"
"But it wasn't.", Yan Lin said sadly. "What you and Angelo tought was a vision was actually the events that past."
"So, in this timeline, Jagas did all of those horrible things.", Irma said. "From using mind control on Will to make her drink that stuff to killing most of us and taking over Kandrakar."
"I'm afraid so.", Yan Lin said. "But in the end, it was all of you working together that defeated Jagas and restoring peace to the Known Worlds."
"So, how did me and Will see all of this in a dream?", Angelo asked.
"You can thank the current guardian of the Aurameres for that.", Yan Lin said with a smile.
"And that would be, who?", Cornelia asked.
"That would be me.", a familiar voice said.
Everyone looked to see Himerish, the former Oracle walking up to them dressed in his warrior garb,
"Hello, my friends.", Himerish said with a bow. "It is good to meet you."
"So, you're the guardian of the Aurameres, in this timeline?", Matt questioned.
"Yes.", Himerish said. "And it was I who made it so that your Will and Angelo knew of what happened through a dream. And I believed that it worked. For another timeline was made because of it."
"Not to change the subject, but can you tell us why Fire and his friends came to the past of our timeline to get the Legend Powers, when they could of just went back in time of their own timeline?", Stephen asked.
"That is a good question.", Georgi said.
"It's because Jagas was in power at the time.", Yan Lin began to explain. "Had they traveled back in time of our timeline, Jagas would of noticed this and stopped them from doing this and tried to get the Legend Power for himself."
"Which would of made him even more powerful.", Ilana figured.
"So, Fire and his friends went to the past of their timeline instead.", Natasha said. "And they still failed."
"So, what will they do now?", Ehren asked.
"Still lead their forces, I guess.", Edeline figured. "I mean, they're powerful just the way they are."
"You can say that again.", Peter said. "They gave us a hard time in our timeline."
"So, we go to Erutana and kick their butts!", Irma said. "No biggie."
"Major biggie.", Natasha said. "They have a large group of Erutanians to back them up."
"You guys against an army.", Eric said. "That can't be good."
"Well, we do have some Erutanians helping us as well.", Georgi replied.
"Not to mention Angelo, Will, and Orube.", Ehren added. "Well, our Angelo, Will, and Orube."
"Speaking of which, what happened to the Will and Angelo of this timeline?", Matt asked.
"For that, I will let the Guardians take you to Earth to meet them.", Yan Lin said. "For you will need a place to stay while you are here."
"Will either of them be okay with us staying with them.?", Taranee asked.
"Where else are we going to go?", Cornelia questioned. "Us girls can stay with Will, whie the guys can stay with Angelo."
"I wonder what the Will and Angelo of this timeline look like?", Irma pondered. "What do you think, Will? Will?"
Everyone looked around to see that Will and Angelo were gone.
"Where did they go?", Ilana questioned.
"I think I saw them go that way.", Georgi said pointing towards the doorway to another room. "They looked pretty sad."
"After all that they were told, who can blame them for feeling the way they feel.", Taranee said.
"I can also sense that you all are a bit shaken up by all of what you now know.", Yan Lin said. "Why not take some time to gather yourselves before heading to Earth."
"Please follow me.", Himerish said as he lead them to the room Will and Angelo went into, leaving Yan Lin and G.E.N.I.E. in the Main Hall.
Once in the room, they saw that Will and Angelo had walked out onto the balcony of the room. Himerish saw the worried looks on the faces of the young heroes and smiled.
"Do not worry about them.", Himerish said getting their attention. "They just need some time to let it all sink in. And even after that, they may need some time to adjust to it all."
"We understand.", Matt said giving Himerish a nod that he returned before leaving them to gather themselves and wait for Will and Angelo to do the same.
End Flashback
After she had shedded her tears, Will and Angelo broke their embrace and gave each other weak smiles knowing things were going to be okay. Just then, Taranee and Matt came out onto the balcony.
"You two going to be okay?", Taranee asked with concern.
"Yeah.", Angelo said as he walked up to Taranee and wrapped his hands around her waist. "We'll be okay. It's just that when I had the vision dream about all this, I never thought that I'd be in a world where you weren't around."
"Same goes for you.", Will said as she hugged Matt. "To think that the me of this timeline was used the way she was by Jagas hurts so much. I know how she felt during all of that. She may be doing fine now, but I know that there's a part of her that's still hurting."
"Well, maybe if she sees all of us alive and well, it may bring her some peace.", Matt figured.
"I hope so.", Will said. "I truly do."
"Well, we won't find out standing here.", Angelo said. "Let's head for Earth."
The four of them then headed back into the room, where the others were waiting.
"You guys okay?", Hay Lin asked with concern.
"We're cool.", Angelo said. "We just need some time to let it all sink in."
"But now we're ready to go to Earth and meet ourselves.", Will said with a small smile. "Did that sound weird to any of you?"
"Somewhat.", Irma said. "But then again, we're in the future of another timeline. So, who cares? Let's head to Earth!"
With all in agreement, the ten of them headed back into the Main Hall where Yan Lin, Himerish, and G.E.N.I.E. were waiting for them.
"I take it that you all are ready to go?", Yan Lin asked.
"Ready, willing, and able.", Stephen said smiling.
"Very well.", Yan Lin said. "Natasha. You and the girls will take our guest to where they will be staying until this is over."
"Yes, Ma'am.", Natasha said before opening a fold to Earth. "Follow us."
The fifteen of them then went through the fold to Earth.
"I sense that things will get a bit more interesting for them.", Himerish said with a grin.
"In more ways than one.", Yan Lin said with a grin of her own. "But in the end, it will bring some peace to our Will and Angelo."
"I believe you are right, my friend.", Himerish said knowing things were going to work out well in the end.
Once through the fold, everyone looked around and saw that they were in a forest. They also noticed something about the area they were in.
"This isn't Heatherfield.", Hay Lin said.
"Of course it isn't.", Georgi said with a smile as she and the rest of G.E.N.I.E. changed back to normal.
"Then where are we?", Taranee asked.
"This is... Fadden Hills!", Will said looking around.
"Yeah. You're right!", Angelo said.
"How can you tell?", Cornelia asked.
"When you've lived here long enough, you know.", Angelo replied. "Plus, there's the park me and Will used to play in as kids.", he said pointing to the park.
"So, why are we here?", Stephen asked.
"This is where you'll be staying for the time being.", Ilana said. "Follow us."
"Yeah. The place is close by.", Ehren said getting a bit excited. "It is so awsome!"
"I take it that she really likes this place we're going to.", Taranee said to Edeline.
"You could say that.", Edeline said with a grin. "But it is a cool place. You have to see it for yourself."
"Now I'm getting excited.", Irma said.
"Oh brother.", Cornelia said with a roll of her eyes.
"I still can't believe that we're living here again.", Angelo pondered. "Our future alternate selves I mean."
"I know what you mean.", Will said. "After all that's happened here, this would be the last place I'd want to live."
"I guess things change.", Angelo said as they all were exiting the forest.
"I guess so.", Will said as they all looked forward at the building in front of them. "Whoa!"
"I don't remember this being in Fadden Hills.", Angelo said. "Wait a minute! Is this the place we saw in the Viewing Pool?"
"Yep.", Ilana said. "This is the school for Guardian Decendents our Angelo and Will started a few years ago."
"That's a big mansion!", Irma said. "How could they afford this place?"
"Really?", Angelo questioned as he looked at Irma. "You forget that my family is rich. So, it shouldn't be a surprise that the Vanders in this timeline are rich as well."
"He's right.", Natasha said. "With Angelo's money and the money Will made from the books she's written..."
"Wait! What?", Will questioned in surprise. "What books?"
"Well, our Will decided to write books based off all of the adventures she and her fellow Guardians had.", Edeline explained. "So far, she's written three books."
"Yeah.", Georgi said. "The last one ended where they beat Phobos and Elyon reclaimed the throne on Metamoor."
"Wow!", Taranee said. "She was able to tell all of that in three books, huh?"
"Yup.", Ehren said. "And all three books have sold big time. She was even able to give royalty checks to the families of her friends. It was something she said she promised herself that she'd do if her books did well."
"I didn't know you were such a good writer.", Matt said to Will.
"Me neither.", Will said with a small smile.
"At least you know that you have something to do in the future.", Cornelia said.
"Follow us, guys!", Georgi said. "We have one more thing to show you all!"
"What else is there?", Peter asked.
"You'll see.", Natasha said as they walked down the sidewalk.
After walking a few feet everyone looked to see a two story house next to the mansion. The house, like the mansion, was made of brick with a two door garage, a porch and small balconies on the second floor windows.
"Nice place.", Eric said. "Who lives here?"
"Well...", Natasha began to say when a school bus stopped in front of the house. "Is it that time already?", she questioned as she checked her watch.
Out from the bus came a five year old African-American boy that had a light complextion with brown eyes and brownish-redish hair. He was dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a yellow shirt and cap with white sneakers, and a black backpack. Once he saw the group he quickly ran up to Ehren smiling.
"Ehren!", the boy cheered as he hugged her.
"Hey little guy!", Ehren said returning the hug.
"What are we? Chopped liver?", Ilana questioned with a grin.
"Don't be jealous becaise I'm his favorite.", Ehren bragged with a smirk.
"Hey, Tasha! Hey, Ilana! Hey, Georgi! Hey, Edeline!", the little boy said with a smile.
"So, who's your friend?", Hay Lin asked getting the little boy's attention.
"This is Jacob.", Natasha said introducing the little boy to the others. "Jacob. This is Hay Lin, Eric, Irma, Stephen, Cornelia, Peter, Taranee, Angelo, Will, and Matt."
"Mommy! Daddy!", Jacob cheered happily as he ran up to Will and Angelo and hugged them surprising them and the others.
A/N: Oh snap! Looks like Will and Angelo got a few surprises. First, they find out that their so called dream was a look into another timeline and now they find out that in this timeline's future versions of themselve, has a kid! What else will they find out?
Please review.
BTW: Be honest folks! You all didn't see this coming. Did you?
