Chapter One

Tibor looked out his window. He was unsure of himself. He knew that Phobos wanted to do good, but he wasn't sure. Even though he seemed like he was a changed man, Tibor was suspicious.

Will looked out the window of the room. Everyone seemed to be standing still. In truth they were moving but Will and the others were moving so fast it looked like they were standing still. How is this possible? she thought. She looked over at Dark. He was showing Irma how to create a geyser.

I wonder what I'll be able to do? She looked over at Taranee. Dark was showing her how to use longer flame blasts. Dark had taught all of the girls something...All except Will and Hay Lin.

"Wow! This is great!"

Cornelia was using her new move, creating huge, sharp spires.

"Just be careful," Dark told her, "If not you'll make one too big for you to control."

Will looked at Hay Lin. Instead of looking jealous because Dark was training her, she looked happy.

"Aren't you mad?" Will finally asked her.

"Nope," she replied with a smile, "Dark trained them first so that he could spend all the time he needed on me and you."

"Why me?"

"Because we need a strong leader."

Phobos walked up to Tibor. "Are you all right?" he asked him.

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." Tibor wanted to ask the question "Why do you care?" but it seemed that Phobos had changed in more than one way.

"I was thinking about my daughter. I lost her and now I'll never see her again." He tried to hold back tears, but failed. He fell to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Phobos placed his hand on Tibor's shoulder.

"Come on," a voice said, "Your daughter is here on Earth. I know how to find her."

The two of them looked around until they saw who'd said that. They saw...

"Fate!"

Dark had finally finished training the other girls and now was able to teach Will and Hay Lin. So, Will thought, What can I do?

"All right," Dark said energetically, "Let's get going." With that Dark led the girls into another room in the chamber. After entering, Will looked out side of the window. Though they were moving faster than normal, the others looked like they were doing everything in slow-motion!

"We're moving at the speed of sound," Dark told her, "Did you think we'd be moving slowly?" He looked over at Hay Lin. "It's time to begin."

While the Guardians and Keepers are training, someone-or something is watching them. "I know you don't want see me, Flyer," it says, "but you will after you know what I have." Using a strange power, it puts a note at the door of the room called "TRAINING CHAMBER".

"He'll see it here for even he can't stay in there forever." With that being said, the entity disappears.
