Chapter Two: Walking

I heard Zak moan as we walked. I felt sorry for him. We had gotten attacked by Technus while he had been on watch and by the time we had woken up to help he was already bruised and bleeding.

"I know it hurts Zak," Chiro said. "You got hit pretty bad last night. You sure you don't need a break?"

"I'll need one when I fall," Zak said between clenched teeth.

"You're crazy," Ed said.

"Look out!" Zak shouted. I pushed Ed out the way and Zak pushed Chiro.

There was an explosion and I looked up. It was Vlad. I looked at the others and Chiro's eyes were filled with hate. Vlad had probably attacked Shuggazoom City so many times that Chiro was always angry to see him. But he didn't feel the same. His presence wasn't evil it was more like a lurking horror. "You're not Vlad," I said.

Vlad was surrounded with a red light and we shielded our eyes. I forgot how much I hated the color red.

When the light died down we gasped. In Vlad's place stood a terrifying sight. It was a man who had three large scars across his face. His robe was blood red and ripped the shreds. His eyes were a little red that was almost pink and in his hand was a bloodied sword. "I'm Thanatos!" he shouted. "I'm the new Demon of Death!"

"We're not dieing today!" Ed shouted. He tried to hit Thanatos but got blown backwards. All of us tried to hit him and we ended up bleeding on the ground. We all looked at each other, knowing it was the end, and held hands.

Our hands glowed a bright white that engulfed us. We heard Thanatos scream and opened our eyes. We were one glowing body of white light.

The white light exploded and we looked around. We were back to normal and all of our cuts and bruises we had gotten in the battle were gone. Around our necks were necklaces. Mine was half ghost, half angel. Ed's was a sparkling blue angel. Zak's looked like a cryptid angel. Chiro's looked like a monkey angel. "We've been chosen for something," I muttered.

"Always going to be chosen," Chiro said. "First I'm chosen to be the Monkey Team leader and destroy the Skeleton King and now this! What have we been chosen for anyway,"

"You're not chosen," we heard a female say. We spun around and looked at a beautiful angel. She had blonde hair with a streak of pink and crystal blue eyes. She wore a white gown and had a tiara in her hair. "You are The Ones," she said.

"What do you mean?" Ed asked suspiciously.

"You saw what you just did?" she asked and we nodded. "That is what The Ones can do. They have such pure hearts and pure souls that they can merge to create a wonderful protector. We Angels of Life call them Light Guardians,"

"What's your name?" Zak asked.

"Athanasia," she said. "It means eternal life,"

"Cool," I said. "Are we heading in the right direction for San Francisco? We really have to get home or some pretty bad stuff is going to happen,"

"If you stay on the road," Athanasia said, "It will take a week or so. If you stray from this road it might take a month,"

"Staying on the road!" Chiro shouted. "Thank you Athanasia. Why did you give us these necklaces?"

"They show that you will become angels," Athanasia said. "Each of you will serve and protect what you love. You will become angels one day, but hopefully that day is far away,"

"Thank you," Ed said. He turned to us. "We have to go," We said good-bye and we ran down the road. Home would come. We just had to believe in ourselves and not become Thanatos next victims.
