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. Based off the comics.
Warning: This story is based off the second ending to my Redemption story, which is the sequel to XxRxX's Beg For More story. If you haven't read them yet, then I suggest you do before reading this story. And don't forget to review.
By the way, the girls have their New Power look.
And now, on with the story!
Chapter 1:
"Thank the Lord it's Summer!", Angelo said as he and Will walked down the sidewalk towards her home. "I had know idea that teaching was so hard!"
"Welcome to the club.", Will said. "When me and the girls first started doing this, it wasn't easy. But, now it's pretty fun."
"Maybe, but you and the other girls are teaching little kids mostly.", Angelo said as they turned a corner. "I'm teaching Guardian's Descendants that are my age. There are times that they listen, while there are times that they think they know better. Then once they see that they're wrong, they want to listen."
"Well now it's Summer.", Will said. "No teaching for at least three months!"
"Amen to that!", Angelo said as the two friends were now walking through the park. "But you know, it's not all that bad. I'm just glad to get a break from it for a while."
"Nothing wrong with that.", Will said as they both sat on the grass in the park. "You know, I still find it kind of weird that you have the same powers as Cornelia."
"That's the thing with being a Guardian's Descendant.", Angelo said as he laid back on the grass. I somehow inherited the powers of any Guardians that I'm descended from. And seeing as Grandma Kadma was the last Earth Guardian..."
"You got the same powers.", Will said as she laid back on the grass as well. "I know. I know. But still, it's something to think about."
"Remember when Cornelia wanted to challenge me to see who was stronger?", Angelo grinned.
"Now that was funny!", Will laughed. "You two pulled out everything you could think of to beat each other! And in the end, you two ended up tying!"
"I still say I could taken her.", Angelo said. "I was just going easy on her."
"Oh really?"
Angelo and Will looked up to see Cornelia along with Irma, Hay Lin, and Taranee.
"Hey guys!", Will said as she sat up. "Have you seen Matt?"
Just then Will felt somebody sit next to her. She turned to see Matt looking at her with a smile. A smile she returned before kissing him.
"Now what was that you were saying about you going easy on me during our little bout?", Cornelia questioned with a smirk as Taranee sat next to Angelo.
"I was only speaking the truth.", Angelo said as Irma, Hay Lin and Cornelia sat with them. "If we were to go at it again, it would be a different outcome."
"Is that challenge?", Cornelia questioned with the same smirk.
"Anytime, anywhere.", Angelo said with a smirk.
"Oh, it's on!", Cornelia said smirking.
"Not today it is!", Taranee said. "You two had so many bumps and bruises last time, that it took hours for you two to heal!"
"It's a good thing that you two had your bout on a Saturday.", Hay Lin replied.
"But man what a bout!", Irma said. "Dirt and rocks flying everywhere! Plants fighting plants!"
"I didn't think that much damage could be done in such a short time.", Matt said.
"But it was a good fight.", Will said.
"And the next one will be just as good when I take you down, Vanders!", Cornelia said with a confident smile.
"One can dream, Hale.", Angelo said with a smile of his own. "One can dream."
"It'll never end between those two.", Taranee said while slapping her forehead.
"Don't sweat it, Taranee.", Angelo said as he put an arm around her pulling her closer to himself. "It's only fun, witty banter between friends. Nothing more."
Angelo then kissed Taranee, which she returned as her hand gently touched the side of Angelo's face. Watching them from a top a building were five people dressed in different colored hooded cloaks. Two male, the other three female.
"You sure she's the one?", one of the males who was dressed in a red hooded cloak asked.
"Yes.", the other male who was dressed in a blue hooded cloak said. "She has the power of fire in her. She must be the Fire Guardian."
"Then once we get her, we can use her to lure the Phoenix to us when it flies by tonight.", one of the females who was dressed in a violet hooded cloak said as they watched the group of friends leave the park.
"Then, we shall have one of the five powers we need to crush our enemies!", the second female, who was dressed in a white hooded cloak, said with a wicked smile.
"Soon, the five beast of legend shall be ours!", the third female who was dressed in a green hooded cloak said before they all teleported away.
Later that evening, Angelo was walking Taranee to Will's place, where Taranee was spending the night.
"Well, today was interesting.", Taranee said as they walked down the sidewalk.
"Which part? The part where Irma and Cornelia had their little food fight, or when Hay Lin popped them both upside the head when she got hit in the face by a glob of pudding?", Angelo laughed.
"I didn't know she had that kind of reach!", Taranee laughed along with Angelo. "And the proud look she had was rich!"
"I don't think Irma or Cornelia will be starting any arguments around Hay Lin for a while!", Angelo laughed.
As they contained walking, Angelo began to notice that there was nobody on the street.
"Hey, T?", Angelo said.
"Yeah?", Taranee questioned.
"Where is everybody?", Angelo asked as they both looked around to see no one on the street.
"That's weird.", Taranee said.
Just then, the five hooded figures appeared in front of them surprising them!
"Hello, Fire Guardian.", the man in the red cloak said.
"Friends of yours?", Angelo questioned.
"I don't think so.", Taranee said.
"I'm going to make this quick.", the man in the red cloak said. "Come with us quietly and no one gets hurt."
"Well that settles that.", Angelo said as he took a fighting stance.
"Do you think you'll be any help to her?", the woman in the white cloak questioned.
"You'd be surprised at what he can do.", Taranee said.
"We'll see about that!", the female in the green cloak said.
"But first, let us introduce ourselves.", the female in the violet cloak said as they all pulled back their hoods.
Angelo and Taranee got a good look at them. The female in the violet cloak had violet hair and light violet eyes.
"I am Air.", the violet cloaked girl said.
The female in the green cloak was Mexican with green hair and green eyes.
"I am Earth.", the green cloaked girl said.
The female in the white cloak was African-American with white hair and gray eyes.
"I am Energy.", the white cloaked girl said.
The male in the blue cloak was Asian with blue hair and blue eyes.
"I am Water.", the blue cloaked boy said.
And finally, the male in the red cloak was African-American with red long hair and orange eyes.
"And I am Fire.", the red cloaked boy said. "We come from a world much like yours."
"Only there, everyone can use the power of the elements.", Energy said.
"But life there has gotten boring.", Water said as he began to create a thick fog around the area.
"So, we decided to take over our world.", Air said. "And to do that we need the power of the Beast of Legend."
"Beast of Legend?", Angelo questioned. "What are they?"
"Five powerful beast.", Earth said. "Each has the power of an element. And if we can get them to give us a bit of that power, we'll be strong enough to take over our world of Erutana!"
"But to lure the beast in we need bait." Fire said as he looked towards Taranee. "And that's where you come in, Fire Guardian. You shall be the bait we need for us to lure the mighty Phoenix to us, so I can have it's power!"
"I'll never help you!", Taranee said.
"We'll see about that!", Fire said. the rest of you stay back! I'll handle these two."
"Fire!", Taranee shouted as she changed into her Guardian form holding her power ball. "Let's go!"
Fire started things off with a flame that he shot at Taranee and Angelo. Angelo jumped out of the way of the attack while Taranee flew in the air and tossed her ball in the air and smacked it down at Fire, who tried to move out of the way but couldn't. He then looked to see Angelo with his hands held out towards him.
"He has telekineses?", Fire snapped.
Fire was then hit by Taranee's flaming ball! The ball then bounced back to Taranee. Fire then got up quickly while glaring at Angelo.
"What are you?", Fire demanded to know.
"He's a Guardian's Descendant.", Earth said as she looked at him.
"I thought they were only a rumor!", Air said.
"Oh, we're very real.", Angelo said.
"This changes things!", Energy said as her hands glowed with power. "We're ending this now!"
Energy then flew at Angelo while firing energy blast at him. He was dodging some attacks and blocking some with his telekinesis.
'Guys we need your help!', Taranee called out to her fellow Guardians telepathiclly. 'Please hurry!'
Suddenly, Taranee felt a sharp sting in her right arm. She looked down to see a long thorn sticking in her arm.
"That is a throne from a special plant on my world.", Earth said as Taranee pulled it out. "It'll knock you out for at least two hours."
Taranee then began to get a bit dizzy as she landed on the ground. Before she knew it, she fell to her knees and then on to her side.
"Sweet dreams.", Fire said as Taranee's eyes began to close.
"Taranee!", Angelo yelled before he sent Energy flying back with a powerful telekinetic wave.
Angelo then ran towards Taranee. Fire tried to get in his way but was hit by a telekinetic wave that knocked him back a few feet. Suddenly, he felt a sharp sting in his arm.
"What the...?", Angelo began to question as he reached down and pulled out a long thorn.
"Goodnight, pretty boy.", Air said as Angelo dropped to his knees and then fell to his side next to Taranee.
They both tried to fight it as much as they could but soon they were unconscious.
"Well, that was tiring.", Fire said as he picked Taranee up and hoisted her over her shoulders.
"Now we just have to wait until tonight, for the Phoenix to show!", Earth said.
"And when it does, we'll be one step closer to taking over Erutana!", Fire said.
"What of him?", Enerhy said as she hovered over Angelo. "Shall I get rid of him?"
She then formed an energy ball and aimed it at Angelo.
"No.", Fire said with a smirk. "Let him live knowing that he couldn't save his lady."
The five of them then teleported away with Taranee leaving Angelo lying inn the street. Just then the girls, in their Guardian forms, telepoerted to the area.
"Where did all this fog come from?", Hay Lin questioned.
"No clue, but can you clear it up, Irma?", Irma asked.
"No sweat!", Irma said as she began to slowly clear the fog.
"Now where are Taranee and Angelo?", Cornelia questioned before tripping over something. "Whoa!"
Everyone looked down to see Cornelia getting up. But what thy also saw shocked them. An unconscious Angelo with Taranee's power ball next ti him!
"Angelo?", Will questioned as she knelt down next to him and propped him up.
"What happened to him?", Irma questioned.
"Don't know, but we're going to find out.", Will said. "Hay Lin go invisible and get Matt. The rest of us are going to Kandrakar!"
Hay Lin turned invisible and flew off to Matt's place, while Will opened a fold to Kandrakar. Cornelia then used her telekinetic powers to lift Angelo up and move him through the fold. The others were right behind them before the fold closed.
