Chapter I:
Summer Break.
Normally this is one of the greatest times of the year for students in the US. But for one sixteen year old girl, this Summer was going to be one she won't be forgetting anytime soon. For this girl is Elyon Escanor Brown. Queen of the Meridian Kingdom, on the world of Metamoor. And in two days, she will have to take part in a series of trials to prove herself queen of her kingdom. And to make matters worse for her, the ones testing her are those close to her. One of them being her boyfriend, and leader of the Mystic Battle Warriors, Angelo Vadners. But she's glad it's him along with three of his fellow Battle Warriors and members of her Honor Guard. For she knows that they won't hold back on her, for Elyon wishes to prove that she is indeed worthy to be a queen that her people can count on. She has trained long and hard for this and she was ready. But what happened a two weeks earlier has changed a lot of things for all of Metamoor.
It all started about two weeks ago when Elyon was testing the strength of her force field in the water if she were to need to use it there. She along with Angelo and Alchemy were on one of the many beaches of the Meridian Kingdom to test out her powers. While the Battle Warriors were transformed for this, Elyon was dressed in the outfit Angelo got for her a year ago. Well... a copy of said outfit that is.
"You ready, Elyon?", Alchemy asked her best friend as she formed a form-fitting force field around herself.
"You bet!", Elyon said as she did the same thing.
"Then let's do it.", Angelo said doing the same thing his powers.
"This video camera will record what happens down there.", Martin said as he set the video camera in a water-proof plastic bubble that had a propeller on it. "I call it the bubble-cam."
Once Angelo, Elyon, and Alchemy dove into the water, Nigel set the bubble-cam into the water and Martin used his remoter control to have the bubble-cam diver in the water after them to record what went down.
"It's times like this, I wish I could breath underwater.", Mandy said as she looked out at the crystal clear waters of Metamoor.
"It is a site to behold.", Nigel said. "Oh! Did you hear!? We're getting our final two Battle Warriors!"
"Get out! Really?", Eric questioned.
"Yeah!", Nigel said. "They're brother and sister."
"Angelo said he knows them from Fadden Hills.", Martin said.
"Which means that Will may know them as well.", Mandy said.
"Probably.", Martin said as he was controlling the bubble-cam with his controller that also had a monitor that allowed him to see what the bubble-cam was seeing. "Either way, we'll soon have a full set of Battle Warriors."
"So when will they be coming here?", Eric asked.
"In a few days.", Nigel answered. "Maybe Tuesday."
"Cool!", Mandy said. "It'll be good to have another girl on the team."
"So who has what power?", Eric asked.
"The brother is Gravity while the sister is Mass.", Martin answered.
"So looking forward to this.", Mandy said. "Does Alchemy and Angelo know?"
"Angelo yes. Alchemy no.", Martin said. "Ten to one Angelo is telling Alchemy and Elyon now.", he said as he had his bubble-cam following those in question.
On the waters of Metamoor...
"Two new Battle Warrior!?", Alchemy questioned after Angelo told her and Elyon about the two new Battle Warriors that were coming in a few says. "That's awesome!"
"So this means that you all will now have a full team.", Elyon said as they moved through the water.
"Pretty much.", Angelo said. "So I was wondering if I could bring them here to Metamoor next weekend after we get them settled in at Heatherfield."
"Of course.", Elyon said with a kind smile. "And thank you for asking. It means a lot."
"I know.", Angelo said returning the smile. "So how you doing with your forcefield?"
"Pretty good.", Elyon said as they went deeper in the water. "It's holding up pretty good."
"Good to know.", Angelo said.
"Hey guys!", Alchemy said getting their attention. "What's that?"
Angelo and Elyon looked in the direction Alchemy was pointing at and saw something strange.
"What is that?", Elyon questioned as they moved closer to it.
"If I didn't know better... I'd say that it was a... ship!", Angelo said as he looked at the shape of the ship as they got closer to it. "I think it is a spaceship!"
"Whoa!", Elyon said in surprise.
"No way!", Alchemy said as they got closer to the object.
Once they got closer to the ship, Angelo used his energy powers to clean off part of the ship to find out where it came from. Soon he came to a symbol he was told of by the Battle Warriors Elders.
"It can't be!", Angelo said. "Back to the surface. Now!", he said as he headed for the surface.
"Angelo?", Elyon questioned as she and Alchemy followed him.
"I'll explain once we get to the surface.", Angelo said as they made their way to the surface slowly so not to get the bends.
Once at the surface, they dropped their force field and walked up to the others.
"You saw the symbol through your bubble-cam, right?", Angelo asked Martin who nodded.
"But what were they doing here?", Martin questioned.
"No idea. But we know what we have to do.", Angelo said before turning to a confused Elyon. "Elyon. I have a big favor to ask you."
"What kind of favor?", Elyon asked. "Is this about the ship, down there?"
"Yes.", Angelo said. "We need to get a science crew here to examine it and make sure it's safe to go in and investigate. So can we have on come here?"
"Well... If it's that important then okay.", Elyon said. "But tell me what kind of ship it is."
"It's not from those aliens that attacked New York is it?", Alchemy questioned.
"No. It's a Kree ship.", Angelo said.
"The Kree?", Elyon questioned. "Who are they?"
"You find out soon enough.", Angelo said.
"And if I'm right, they may be behind all the races here on Metamoor.", Martin said surprising the others.
"But until we learn more about this, we have to keep this to only us and the Honor Guard.", Angelo said. "We can't tell the Guardians or Regents about this yet."
"Why not?", Mandy asked.
"Do we really want one of them pushing a button they shouldn't?", Martin questioned.
"Not to mention them wanting to make it a base and wanting to take it for a test flight.", Mandy added.
"Or accidentally firing a weapon at something.", Alchemy said.
"Good points.", Elyon said. "I'll have Caleb come and stay here so he won't be tempted to tell them."
"Good idea.", Nigel said.
"And now we go get the science crew so they can check this out.", Angelo said. "And if they find anything that is linked to Metamoor, they will not try and take the ship from here."
"Okay.", Elyion said. "But what if the ship presents a danger to this world?"
"They we'll take it away from here.", Angelo said.
"Good.", Elyon said with a sigh of relief. "That's good to hear."
"And with that, let's get things started.", Martin said as he opened a fold to the Battle Warrior World. "I'll be back in about an hour and a half."
"Take your time.", Eric said. "We're not going anywhere."
Once the fold closed behind Martin, the others simply waited for him to return with the science crew. That was a few days ago and a lot has happened. But right now let's focus on the Battle Warrior, minus Angelo, who are at the boardwalk on a bright and sunny Tuesday morning waiting at the boardwalk entrance.
"So what time will they be showing up?", Eric asked.
"Soon.", Martin said just as Cornelia and Matt came walking past them.
"What are you guys doing here?", Cornelia asked Alchemy.
"Waiting for Angelo and the others to show up.", Alchemy said. "Two of his friends from Fadden Hills have moved here. I believe Will knows them too."
"Two more people who know Will, huh?", Matt questioned. "That's something we don't need.", he whispered to Cornelia.
"Tell me about it.", she whispered back when a black Ford Explorer pulled up into the parking that they all knew was the Vanders'.
"Looks like they're here.", Matt said as the ride parked.
"Oh goodie.", Cornelia said in an annoyed tone as the doors opened up and five teenagers came out of it. "Let's go meet up with the others. I'd rather not be here for this little meet and greet.", she said as she and Matt headed down the boardwalk to meet up with the others.
Of course the one driving was Angelo. And the one in the front passenger side was Elyon and one of the other teens were Cassidy and Miranda. And much to their surprise, Mia. But the other two teens were people they never met before. Both were African-American. One was a boy and the other a girl. Both had brown eyes and black hair only the boy's hair was close shaved while the girl's hair went down a bit past her shoulders. In her hair were some purple streaks.
"Hey, gang!", Angelo said ready to introduce his friends. "I'd like you to meet Micheal and Selece Robertson. They'll be staying with me and my family while their parents are off doing business elsewhere.", he explained. "Micheal. Selece. I'd like you to meet Martin, Nigel, Eric, Alchemy, and Mandy."
"Hi.", they all said to each other.
"So why meet here at the beach?", Mandy questioned. "Not that I'm complaining, mind you."
"I figured that we could use a bit of a break after all that has happened in the last few months.", Angelo said. "Besides. When was the last time we all got to have some fun together?"
"But what about Will?", Selece questioned. "I was hoping to see her today as well."
"She said that she had plans with the others.", Angelo explained. "So I figured that I'd invite her and her mother over for dinner tonight and you two could reunite then."
"That works.", Selece said.
"Actually, I think Will is here with the girls and Matt.", Alchemy replied. "We saw Corny and Matt just before you guys showed up."
"Looks like you just may run into her later today, Sis.", Micheal said with a grin.
"Maybe you will, maybe you won't.", Cassidy said. "All I know is that we came here to have some fun at the beach."
"No arguments here.", Eric said as they headed out to the beach for some fun in the Sun.
"So what brings you here?", Alchemy asked Mia.
"Elyon figured that I could use a break from all that has happened as well.", Mia replied. "So she asked Angelo's grandparents to run the kingdom for a day."
"Well then, let's get started!", Alchemy said as she grabbed Mia's hand and pulled her long to the beach getting a laugh out of the princess.
Soon they had set up enough beach umbrellas and beach towels for everyone to use and were out of their regular clothes revealing their swim wear and were having some fun under the Sun. Nigel was in a pair of gray swim trunks while Eric and Micheal were in red trunks, Martin and Angelo were in black trunks. As for the ladies, Cassidy was in a red bikini while Alchemy was in a green bikini and Mandy was in a black one-piece swimsuit. Selece and Miranda were in yellow bikinis while Elyon was in a purple bikini and Mia was in a purple one-piece swimsuit. They were having a great time on the beach letting loose all tension they had. Meanwhile, far off on the boardwalk, W.I.T.C.H. alone with Matt, Peter, and Joel were enjoying their time together when...
"Friends from Fadden Hills?", Will questioned after Matt mentioned what he and Cornelia were told when they ran into the others. "What friends from Fadden Hills!?"
"Beats me.", Matt said. "All I know is that they were waiting for Angelo, Elyon, Cassidy, and Miranda to show up with these two friends that had moved from Fadden Hills.", he explained before he saw the upset look on Will's face. "What's wrong, Babe?"
"It's nothing.", Will said as she shook her head.
"Don't give me that.", Matt said. "I know that look. What's going on?"
"It's just that... I didn't have many friends in Fadden Hills.", Will said.
"You told me that a long time ago, Will.", Matt said. "So you think that these friends of Angelo's aren't friends of yours?"
"Maybe.", Will said.
"Well, Alchemy did say that you may know them.", Cornelia said. "She didn't say that they were nice."
"And she wouldn't know that either.", Will said.
"Okay, let's say that they were kids who used to pick on you.", Joel said. "I say we go give them a taste of what they did to you.", he said with a smirk.
"Let's see who they are first before we jump the gun.", Taranee said. "We don't need to make enemies of people who aren't bad. Right."
"They better not be if they know what's good for them.", Irma snapped as they headed to where the others were.
"You going to be okay seeing Cassidy?", Taranee asked her brother.
"I'll be okay, Sis.", Peter said. "If anything, you should be worried if she'll be okay seeing me after I broke up with her."
"Don't start, Peter.", Taranee said. "I still say that you could have handled things better."
"Hey, I gave her a choice.", Peter said. "And she didn't pick me. And after all her talk about staying together.", he said in a tone that told Taranee that he still wanted to be with Cassidy.
'You're not fooling anybody, Peter.', Taranee thought to herself as they all made their way down the boardwalk.
As for the others, the first hour everyone was having fun. But soon, Mia along with Cassidy and Angelo were sitting under some of the beach umbrellas they had set up taking a breather while the others were still playing around with a frisbee.
"So how are you enjoying you day off, Mia?", Cassidy asked her friend.
"It does feel nice to let off some stress every once in a while.", Mia said with a smile. "I remember when Mother and Father would do the same thing at least once or twice a month. We would go to one of the beaches in Meridian and enjoy our time together with the people. Granted I didn't need a swimsuit.", she said surprising Cassidy and Angelo.
"Wait a sec.", Angelo said. "You mean to tell me that you would be running around butt naked on the beach with other kids?"
"Of course.", Mia said. "Of course I was a child back then, but yes. I would swim around in the water in the nude."
"Parents, too?", Cassidy questioned.
"No. Mother and father along with other adults and teenagers wore something close to what we're wearing now.", Mia explained. "I didn't get a swimsuit until I was twelve years of age. That was when I started to develope in the body."
"Okay. Now I get it.", Angelo said. "As a child, your parents had nothing to worry about others seeing. It was when you were starting to develope in certain areas that you began to wear swim wear."
"Yes.", Mia said. "And it was around that time that I met Feros.", she said with a slight blush and smile.
"Before or after he saw you in the buff?", Cassidy asked with a smirk.
"One time before I started wearing swimsuits.", Mia said as her blush deepened a bit. "Granted I did see him in the buff as well."
"Talk about making a good first impression.", Cassidy said with a grin.
"Cassidy!", Mia said with a said with a small laugh as she playfully slapped her friend on the arm.
"What's so funny?", Elyon said as she came up to them.
"Just talking about how Mia used to run around the Meridian beaches butt naked.", Angelo grinned as Elyon sat next to him.
"What!?", Elyon questioned as she looked at her sister. "Really?"
"Only during my childhood.", Mia said.
"And yet I bet she would still be doing it if she could.", Cassidy joked,
Mia then got up and began to walk off.
"Get her!", Angelo laughed as he grabbed Mia's hand and pulled her down to himself and Elyon.
"Ahh!", Mia shouted as she was pulled down and landed in Elyon and Angelo's laps.
"We're only having fun, Mia.", Angelo said with a smile.
"Yeah! It's what friends do.", Elyon said with a smile of her own.
"Is that so?", Mia questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah!", Cassidy said. "Like I can go back to when you and Elyon did your fusion thing and became Xaos."
"That was intense.", Elyon said.
"And let's not forget when Angelo almost kissed Xaos forgetting that he would be kissing Mia as well as Elyon.", Cassidy said with a smirk.
"And here we go.", Angelo said knowing where Cassidy was going. "In my defence, there was a lot going on at that time and as Xaos, you looked a whole lot like Elyon."
"So you say.", Mia said as she looked up at Angelo from where she was laying down in his and Elyon's lap. "But I think you saw a chance to kiss not one but two daughters of the Escanor family.", she said with a smirk.
"Hold on now.", Angelo said.
"You naughty boy you!", Cassidy said with a smirk. "Two for the price of one."
"Don't you start!", Angelo said.
"And I thought I was enough woman for you!", Elyon said pretending to be hurt.
"Really, Elyon?", Angelo questioned. "Really?"
"Don't talk to me!", Elyon said hiding her smirk.
"Come now, sister.", Mia said as she sat up and turned herself so that she was sitting in Angelo's lap. "I'm sure we can share Angelo when we go Xaos.", she said as she wrapped her arms around Angelo's neck. "I must say that he is quite attractive.", she said as she looked at Angelo in a seductive way.
"Whoa! Whoa!", Angelo said as he removed Mia's arms from around his neck. "You're fine and all, Mia, but Elyon is the only girl for me."
"But it would be interesting to see what we could do as Xaos.", Elyon said with a smirk as she wrapped her arms around Angelo's neck.
"Quite interesting indeed.", Mia said.
"Okay.", Angelo said as he calmly moved Mia from his lap. "First off, you have a man, Mia.", he said before turning to Elyon. "And you are enough woman for me."
"That's sweet.", Elyon said with a smile before they kissed. "But I've been thinking. Maybe we should try and see if we can go Xaos now that you are a Guardian, Mia."
"Hmmmm... A good idea.", Mia said. "We should also see how long we can keep our Xaos form as well. And work on keeping it longer."
"Not to mention what we can do.", Elyon said.
"Look like you two have a Summer project after the trials.", Cassidy said.
"I guess so.", Elyon said. "It never stops, huh?"
"Well we do get to take a break every now and then.", Mia said. "Besides. we can also see what fun we can have as Xaos. Won't we, Angelo?", she said asked with a wink."
"Oh for the love of...", he said getting a laugh out of the girls. "I'm telling your man!"
"Actually, most Feral men have more than one woman before they marry.", Mia said. "And most females have more than one male before they get married as well."
"Seriously?", Elyon questioned.
"Yes.", Mia said. "It is their way of getting it all out of their system."
"Wow!", Elyon said. "You learn something about your home world everyday."
"Yeah.", Cassidy said as the other came up to them. "You guys look tired."
"Well we were playing for the last hour and a half.", Nigel said as he and the others sat under the other umbrellas for some rest.
"That and some of us are getting hungry.", Eric said as he reached into one of the coolers and pulled out a small sub wrapped in plastic wrap.
"Of course.", Angelo said. "Oh! One more thing. You two know that you can't tell anybody about being Mystic Battle Warriors. Right?", he asked Micheal and Selece.
"Yeah. We know.", Selece said. "We can't even wear our rings for a week unless we're needed for anything or training."
"I was wondering why you two didn't have your Battle Warrior rings.", Miranda said as she looked at their hands.
"It's something our parents have us doing.", Micheal said. "We have to go one week without our rings unless we're needed on a mission."
"Well good luck.", Nigel said. "We had to do the same thing when we first became Battle Warriors."
"And we got through it too.", Martin said.
"And so will we.", Selece said. "No sweat!"
"Selece!?", came a familiar voice.
Both Selece and Micheal turned to see Will standing with her friends.
"Will!", Selece screamed as she ran up to the red-head and gave her a hug that Will returned.
"What are you doing here?", Will asked as they ended their hug.
"Micheal and I moved here! We're living with Angelo and his family while our parents are taking care of things out of the country.", Selece explained. "I'm living with Elyon in her apartment while Micheal is living with Angelo in his apartment.", she finished explaining to which Micheal waved to Will.
"That's great!", Will said happily.
It was then that Irma cleared her throat getting Will and Selece's attention.
"Mind introducing us to your friends, Will?", Irma asked.
"Oh yeah!", Will said. "Selece. Micheal. I'd like you to meet Taranee and her brother Peter, Hay Lin, Irma, Cornelia, Joel, and ,my boyfriend Matt. Guys. This is Selece Robertson and her brother Micheal. Both are friends of mine from Fadden Hills."
"Hi!", Hay Lin said with a cheerful smile. "Welcome to Heatherfield!"
"Hello.", Taranee, Peter, Joel, Irma, and Matt said.
"Charmed.", Cornelia said while checking herself out in her compact mirror.
As for Will, she walked around the beach umbrellas to see Angelo laying on a beach towel with Elyon.
"Why didn't you tell me that Selece and Micheal were moving here?", Will asked Angelo with her hands on her hips not looking to happy.
"This ought to be good.", Irma said as she and the others went to see what was going to happen.
"Because he didn't know when we were coming.", Micheal said getting Will's attention. "We didn't know if it was going to be this week or two weeks from now."
"And when they did show up, yesterday, I figured that it would be best if they got some rest after moving in.", Angelo explained to Will. "I was going to invite you and Aunt Susan over for dinner tonight and surprise you."
"Oh.", Will said. "I guess that makes sense."
"And here you are all revved up to yell at me.", Angelo joked getting a giggle out of Will.
"Oh brother.", Matt said to himself as he rolled his eyes.
"Cassidy.", Peter said to the Ice Guardian.
"Peter.", Cassidy said not feeling like talking to Peter.
"I'm up for some ice cream.", Alchemy said hoping to avoid a major argument.
"Mind if I come with?", Cassidy asked as she got up with Alchemy. "I'm suddenly in the mood for a walk.", she said as she tied her wrap around skirt around her waist and slipping on her sandals.
"Sure.", Alchemy said doing the same thing.
"Can we please talk, Cass?", Peter asked as he grabbed her arm.
"You said what you had to say, Peter.", Cassidy said as she pulled away from Peter. "I will not give up my dream for you.", she said as she walked off with Alchemy.
"Well that went well.", Joel said as he stood next to Peter.
It was then that Peter saw Mia sitting next to Angelo. She was he last person he wanted to see on Earth.
"And what are you doing here?", Peter questioned in a tone that said he wasn't happy to see her there.
"My sister wanted me to come and take some time to relax.", Mia said. "I do have a lot on my plate. Do you have a problem with me being here?"
"No.", Peter said. "But I do have a problem with you influencing Cassidy the way you did."
"I see.", Mia said as she put her sunshades on and laid back on her beach towel. "You may believe that I talked Cassidy into doing what she's doing, but believe me when I say that everything that she is doing is all her idea. You, Peter Cook, are just angry and want someone to blame. And I will not be that person. If you want to blame someone, look in a mirror.", she said calmly as she laid on her beach towel.
"She's got you there, Pete.", Nigel said.
"Nigel!", Taranee said with her hands on her hips.
"Well Mia's right.", Nigel said. "Cassidy decided to do what she wanted to do a long time ago. No one talked her into doing it. Sorry, Peter. But it's true."
"And how do you know this?", Taranee questioned.
"She told Mrs. Kadma when I was over the Vanders' home hanging with Angelo, Eric, and Martin.", Nigel answered.
"Can you guys talk about this some other time?", Mandy asked. "We came here to relax. Not have arguments."
"You can say that again.", Angelo said.
"No one is asking you too stay and listen.", Cornelia replied.
"We were here first.", Eric said. "You all came down here."
"So you're not happy to see me?", Hay Lin said as she sat next to Eric.
"Happy to see you, yes.", Eric said to Hay Lin. "In the mode to hear Peter blame Mia for him and Cassidy breaking up, no."
"Hey! Watch it, pal", Peter snapped at Eric.
"Okay. I'm new here, but it seems that you and Cassidy broke up because you tried to get her to give up something she wants to do.", Micheal said. "And you blame Mia because you think she influenced Cassidy into doing whatever it is she wants to do."
"That's the gist of it.", Joel said.
"Well from what we just saw, Cassidy doesn't want to talk to you right now.", Micheal said. "So I suggest that you leave her be and wait for her to come to you, bud. Trust me when I say that if you try and make her talk to you, it will not end well."
"He has a point.", Selece said. "One should not force these things."
"Thanks for the advice.", Peter said. "But if you don't mind, would you please mind your own business. Whatever is going on between me and Cassidy, is between me and Cassidy."
"Okay.", Micheal said. "I was only trying to give you some friendly advice."
"Well here's some friendly advice.", Irma said. "Don't go sticking your nose in other people's business!"
"That wasn't cool, Irma!", Will said to Irma.
"I'm just saying.", Irma said. "No one asked him for his two scents.", she said with a huff as she turned away from Micheal.
Just then Cassidy and Alchemy came back and sat where they were sitting before.
"Now can we talk?", Peter asked Cassidy.
"Nope.", Cassidy said as she ate some of her ice cream.
"Well I'm not leaving here until we do.", Peter said as he sat right in front of Cassidy.
Cassidy said nothing as she continued to eat her ice cream as she looked out at the ocean. The others said nothing as they sat there wondering who was going to crack first as some of them were relaxing and enjoying their time at the beach as best they could.
"Sorry things turned out like this.", Angelo said to Elyon who was laying on her beach towel. "This was meant to be a good time for you."
"It's okay.", Elyon said with a smile. "We're together at the beach. And that's enough for me.", she said getting a smile out of Angelo.
"Well I would have planned things a whole lot better.", Cornelia said. "And my plans would have invovled ALL of us being here having fun."
"Well when I asked if you and the girls wanted to come with us to the beach, you said that you all had plans for something else today.", Angelo said.
"So you couldn't of planned this for another day?", Irma questioned.
"No because the rest of the week is busy for some of us.", Angelo replied.
"Of course it is.", Cornelia said as she rolled her eyes.
As for Cassidy and Peter, Cassidy was still ignoring Peter as she ate some chips and half a sub. She then began to drink a bottle of ice tea when...
"Would you quit being like this!?", Peter snapped as he smacked the bottle out of Cassidy's hand sending it flying. "Why won't you talk to me!?"
"You said what you had to say.", Cassidy said. "So there's nothing to talk about."
"Please just talk to him, Cassidy.", Taranee pleaded.
"Are you willing to let me do what I want to do?", Cassidy asked Peter with a stern look.
"Why do you want to do that when you can stay here and earn a better living?", Peter questioned.
"Well I guess that settles that.", Cassidy said. "We've got nothing to talk about."
"Fine! Go and do what you want then!", Peter snapped as he got to his feet. "But don't come crying to me when you see what a mistake you're making!", he snapped as he stormed off.
"You couldn't even try and talk to him?", Taranee questioned.
"I'm sorry, Taranee.", Cassidy said as she looked at her sadly. "But I can't be with a guy who thinks my dream is stupid. I just can't. I'm sorry."
"He's only worried about you.", Cornelia said. "He just wants you to be safe."
"And I will be.", Cassidy said. "He needs to realise that."
"Last I checked couples were suppose to compromise about things like this.", Irma said.
"He doesn't want to compromise.", Cassidy said. "He wants it his way or nothing. And I will not give up my dream just to make him happy."
"Have it your way then.", Joel said as he got up with Matt and W.I.T.C.H. "Even I think you're making a mistake. Later.", he said as they walked off to catch up with Peter.
"You leaving, too?", Selece asked Will.
"Sorry. But I did come with the girls.", Will said. "I'll see you later this evening."
"Okay.", Selece said with a smile that Will returned before running off to catch up with the others.
"And that's why I didn't want you to tell Will about you and Micheal being Battle Warriors yet.", Angelo said. "Some of them have beef with us."
"I can see it in Cornelia and Irma.", Micheal said.
"You'll learn who else in time.", Nigel said.
"But for now, let us enjoy the rest of our time here.", Mia said. "I know I will.", she said as she laid on her beach towel.
"Who knew she'd learn to relax so well.", Elyon questioned with a laugh.
And so they enjoyed their time at the beach for they knew they were going to be busy for the rest of the week on Metamoor. As for W.I.T.C.H., Matt, Joel, and Peter, they were in their secret base under the book shop working on some things when...
"I miss Caleb.", Cornelia said with a sigh. "What could be so important that Elyon has him stuck on Metamoor?"
"I'm sure that whatever it is must be important.", Taranee said.
"You don't know the half of it."
Everyone turned to see Caleb standing at the entrance to their base.
"CALEB!", Cornelia cried happily as she ran up to her boyfriend and hugged him. "I missed you so much!"
"Same here.", Caleb said returning the hug before they kissed.
"So why has Elyon kept you on Metamoor for so long this time?", Matt questioned.
"And how did you even get hee?", Irma said before she picked up a familiar scent which caused her and the others to cover their noses. "Never mind. I have a good idea how.", she said when Blunk came walking into the room.
"Hello, friends!", the little Passling said with a friendly wave and smile.
"Wow! He's rank!", Peter said.
"Thank you.", Blunk said with a smile.
"Can we please get him out of here?", Joel asked.
"We can head back to Meridian.", Caleb said. "You've got to see what's going on there!"
"What do you mean?", Will asked as she opened a fold to Metamoor.
"I'll explain on our way to the beach.", Caleb said as they headed through the fold.
"The beach?", Hay Lin questioned as she and Irma looked at each other before shrugging their shoulders and followed Caleb with the others to the beaches.
Back on Metamoor, the Kree ship was now on one of the Meridian beaches being studied and looked through by the science division of the Battle Warriors alone with other Battle Warrior teams that were called upon to help with the investigation of the ship. Standing guard at the main entrance of the ship was a team of Battle Warriors, from Earth. ONly instead of hoodies like Angelo's team, they had trench coats and shades. The Power of the team was Japanese, while the Flight was Spanish. The Strength was Irish/Scottish and the Rush was Caucasian/American.
"Ever think we'd be spending our Summer guarding a ship like this?", Rush questioned.
"No, but we got the call, Ricky.", Flight said. "Besides. To be near one of these bad boys is something else."
"Tommy's right.", Power said. "And it's our job to make sure that any unauthorized people don't get on this ship."
"I know, Sho. I know.", Ricky said. "But I can think of a lot of other things I can be doing right now."
"You and me both.", Strength said as he leaned against part of the entrance. "But we're here. So let's do our job and hopefully we'll be able to head back home soon."
"Couldn't of said it better myself, Scott.", Tommy said when he noticed six figures flying towards them while three others were on horseback coming at them. "You guys see what I see?"
"Yeah, Laddie!", Scott said as they got closer. "And if my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, five of the six that are flying at us are... Life-sized fairies!?"
"I see it and I still don't believe it.", Ricky said as the girls and Matt landed in front of them.
"Can I help you?", Sho asked as his fellow Battle Warriors stood together.
"You can help by moving out of the way.", Cornelia demanded.
"Afraid we can't do that, Lass.", Scott said. "We have our orders to only let those with permission inside."
"What my friend says is true.", Tommy said. "It's to dangerous to let you in with what lies inside."
"Do you know who these women are?", Matt questioned. "They're the Guardians of Kandrakar! The greatest heroes of the Known Worlds! You shall let them pass!"
"Okay. First off, we've met a lot of great heroes of the Known Worlds, buddy. So the first thing you said, not true.", Ricky said. "Second, until we get the word, none of you shall pass."
"Oh you're going to let us pass!", Irma said. "One way or the other!", she said as she called on some water ready to fight.
"That's enough!", came a voice that got everyone's attention.
Suddenly, another team of Battle Warriors came from out of the entrance only they had jackets and shades on with their black jeans and tan boots. And all four of them were African-American.
"Oh great!", Cornelia said on an annoyed tone. "Another set of them."
"How many of you Battle Warrior teams are there?", Taranee asked being curious.
"Enough.", the Power of that team said. "Now why would the Guardians of Kandrakar be acting this... No way! Will!?", he questioned after getting a look at the red-head. "Will Vandom!?"
"You know this one, Leonas?", Scott questioned.
"Leonas!?", Will questioned in surprise. "Leonas Vanders!?"
It was then that the Power of the other Battle Warrior team took off his shades along with the rest of his team.
"Sam!?", Will questioned as she looked at the Flight of the team. "Marcus!?", she questioned looking at the Rush of the team. "Malcom!?", she questioned looking at the Strength of the team.
"You know these guys, Will?", Irma questioned.
"Yeah.", Will said still surprised by all of this. "They're... Angelo's cousins!"
"WHAT!?", the rest of W.I.T.C.H., Matt, Caleb, Joel and, Peter questioned.
A/N: I bet you didn't see these surprise guest coming, huh? I figured that I'd have a bit of fun and bring them into the fold like I did with Micheal and Selece. There will be a few more surprises coming in the next chapter. Like where all the races of Metamoor came from. And before you question my on why I brought the Kree in this, think about it. Most of the Kree are blue. Just like some of the Galhot. And the Kree are known for experimenting with Humans. I get more into this in the next chapter. Not to mention an argument or two for our heroes. See you next chapter!
Please review.
