L is for Loser, part 3

'Prepare for your doom, Guardians!' Shagon said.

Irma looked down as she muttered: 'Oh, I so don't need this right now.'

'Oh, you are so exquisitely tortured.' Ember said with a face of delight. 'By heart sticky pain.'

Ember then started the attack with a big fireball which hit the Guardians head on.

'There is desperation in your heart.' Tridart said. 'Over a boy you have no chance with.'

Hay-Lin looked at Tridart, after having recovered from the fireball.

'Leaving you lonely and cold.' Tridart said as he shot up in the air.

He took his axe and shot icicles at Hay-Lin who barely dodged them by jumping aside. He kept shooting icicles at Hay-Lin which Hay-Lin dodged by some excellent gymnastic maneuvers. Hay-Lin then found cover under a crane. Taranee was pointing at Tridart with her hands.

'Back off, glacier face!' she said as she started creating some fire in her hands.

But just before she could shoot Khor grabbed her arms. Taranee looked at him and Khor started to attack her, by slashing at her. Taranee managed to dodge the blows and tried to get away from Khor.

'Watch it, hairball!' Cornelia said as she called on her powers.

She then used telekinesis to throw some metal bolts at Khor but before they touched then they were destroyed by a green blast. Shagon flew to the ground and was now facing Cornelia. "Will" walked in front of Cornelia, facing Shagon.

'Stay away from her!' she said angrily.

'The way I and Zafyra stayed away from Matt and Will?' Shagon said mockingly.

But the only thing "Will" heard was 'Matt'. Taranee on the other hand, managed to get away from Khor who was now battling Cornelia and was standing next to "Will". She heard Shagon too and was enraged by the fact that he could have taken the real Will and maybe even hurt her.

'Matt?' "Will" questioned. 'Did you hurt him?'

'And what about Will? What did you do to her?' Taranee demanded. The reflection of fire was visible in her glasses.

Now Zafyra came down and stood next to Shagon. She gave an evil laugh before answering the two questions.

'How much would you hate us if we had?' she said tauntingly.

"Will" started to spark with electricity while small flames came from Taranee.

'You are going to find out!' "Will" exclaimed.

She shot, out of hate, a lightning bolt at Shagon while Taranee shot a massive fire ball at Zafyra. Both intercepted the blasts easily since they were feeding of "Will" and Taranee's hatred. Zafyra laughed while Shagon responded.

'Tickels.'

Then he and Zafyra countered. Shagon shot a green beam from his mask while Zafyra shot something that looked like electricity from her hands which seemed to be as strong as "Will"'s attack power in Guardian form. Without the fuel of course. Will and Taranee were way to shocked to react to the two blasts that were coming for them. If it wasn't for Cornelia, who pushed them out of the way, W.I.T.C.H. would be two members short. Cornelia, Taranee and Will crawled under the same crane as Hay-Lin did before for cover.

'Get down!' a very annoyed Cornelia said. 'Irma, over here! Now!'

Irma dodged Ember's fireballs and with a lucky jump she landed next to the crane and she too crawled under it. Meanwhile Ember was gloating over Irma's misery. "Will" and Taranee glared from under the crane at Zafyra and Shagon.

'That guy did something to Matt.' "Will" exclaimed angry.

'And that woman did something to Will!' Taranee exclaimed equally angered.

'That's their story!' Cornelia said annoyed. 'Get us out of here!'

The Knights of Destruction landed and Khor grabbed the crane. With some effort he managed to tilt the crane up just in time for the Knights to see that the Guardians had teletransported. Ember walked to Shagon, clearly angered that her prey escaped.

'And what now, Shagon?' she exclaimed angry. 'Our prey is gone.'

'If I were you, Ember.' Zafyra stated rather calm. 'I would control that temper of yours, before somebody got hurt.'

She enforced the last part of her statement by making some electricity crackle around her hands.

'Ladies, ladies. No need for a war.' Shagon said, clearly amused by the way Zafyra was acting. 'We'll just report to our mistress and then go searching for the Guardians again.'

'I don't think we need to search.' Zafyra said. 'I've got a good idea of where they might be.'

With that the Knights teletransported away.

Meanwhile at the Silver Dragon

The girls appeared in the basement, looking a little terror stricken.

'That was close.' Cornelia said, but before anything else was said Irma stood up and walked away.

'I gotta go.' she said.

She ran towards the basement door. Cornelia tried to stop her but Irma vanished.

'Urgh, you know those Knights of whatever totally fed on our drama.' Cornelia said. 'Icicle boy called you desperate, which you are for Eric.'

'Thanks for noticing.' a very gloom Hay-Lin said.

Cornelia ignored Hay-Lin and continued.

'Lava chick was gloating about Irma being in pain which she is over Martin. And Taranee…'

'I-I can't beat fuzzy if I'm mad at my mom?' she said annoyed.

'Just try to keep it in check.' Cornelia said. 'Especially when you or Will fight Mr. and Mrs. dark angel. Those two wanted you to hate them.'

This gave Taranee an even more annoyed look and "Will" had to admit that Cornelia was right.

'Then they knew their stuff.' she said, before realizing something. 'Hey, since when are you Miss intuitive?'

Cornelia waved with her hair. 'Perspective. I'm the only one not starring in a soap opera.'

'This week.' the other girls said with a smirk on their face.

Meanwhile at Mt. Thanos

'Ember! You and Tridart go and report to the mistress. Shagon and I have something to discuss.' Zafyra ordered.

Ember looked as if she wanted to retort and maybe even fight Zafyra. She turned around to say something to her but Zafyra acted quicker. She shot some electricity at Ember electrocuting her.

'I do not tolerate any disobedience.' Zafyra stated coldly. 'If you try to contradict me one more time I'll make sure that you'll have to go to the mistress to release you from your suffering.'

Zafyra stopped her attack on Ember. Ember slowly got up and glared at Zafyra. At least she did until she noticed that Zafyra's hands were crackling with electricity. She immediately became submissive towards Zafyra.

'Yes, ma'am.' she said with difficulty.

She then went to Tridart to report to Nerissa. Unknown to them Nerissa had seen the little fight between Ember and Zafyra and was now softly laughing.

'It seems that Will's anger is stronger than I thought.' she said to herself. 'It's a good thing I haven't spilled my magic into giving her more power. I used the extra magic to make sure that she would obey me. But I have to hand it to her, she knows how to make her servants grovel.'

With that she teletransported away to her usual spot, waiting for Ember and Tridart's arrival and report.

'Zafyra.' Shagon said as he placed his arms around Zafyra.

Zafyra accepted the gesture and slowly turned around and laid her head upon Shagon's muscled chest.

'Shagon have you noticed?' Zafyra said. 'They've got a replica of me.'

'Maybe it's an altermere, you know.' Shagon said reassuringly.

Zafyra broke out of Shagon's embrace as she shook her head.

'No, it wasn't an alteremere. This version seemed way more… I don't know…wiser? It's like looking at the Heart of Kandrakar's physical appearance.' Zafyra said, slightly concerned.

'Relax, even if it is really the Heart's physical appearance I don't care. You're the only one for me.' Shagon whispered in Zafyra's ear. 'Besides she is really good in fuelling our powers.'

Zafyra nodded. She and Shagon neared each other.

'Those masks are a bit troublesome now.' Shagon said.

'Let's turn into something more…comfortable.' Zafyra said as she looked at Shagon.

Both of them glamoured back to their original bodies. Matt and the real Will were looking at each other. Even though they looked real you could see in their eyes that they really were Zafyra and Shagon. Both neared each other and kissed each other intensely. During the kiss something happened to the both of them.

'Where am I?' Will asked as she looked into a fog filled room.

'Will? Is that you?' a voice said through the fog.

'Matt?' Will said.

Matt appeared in the fog and Will ran towards him. The two of them hugged each other and then kissed intensely.

'I thought I'd lost you.' Matt said after they broke apart.

'I thought I lost you.' Will replied. 'The last thing I clearly remember is that you and Mr. Huggles got turned into some sort of monsters and I felt a feeling of hate and anger swallow me.'

'I know.' Matt said.

'Do you have any idea where we are?' Will asked Matt.

Matt shook his head.

'I truly don't know.' he said.

Suddenly they noticed that they were drifting apart.

'Matt!' Will screamed as she tried to get a hold of him.

'Will!' Matt shouted as he tried the same.

But their efforts were in vein. They drifted apart till they couldn't see each other anymore. Will then noticed that she could look at some sort of screen. It showed Matt and Will got the feeling that she was just dreaming. That thought got interrupted when Matt turned back to Shagon.

'Aah!' she screamed.

'So you're awake?' a female voice said.

Will turned around and found herself looking at Zafyra.

'Who are you?' Will demanded.

'Well, I am you. Or at least I am all of your hatred and anger.' Zafyra replied.

Will now realized where she was. If she could see the outside world but not being able to do anything it only meant that she was trapped inside her body.

'You're using my body!' Will exclaimed angry.

'Well, yes. And there is nothing you can do.' Zafyra answered.

'Oh no?' Will retorted.

With that she flung herself at Zafyra only to get shot by a very strong lightning bolt.

Zafyra laughed evilly before speaking.

'Enjoy your stay.'

With that she disappeared and Will was all alone as she looked hopeless at the screen.

'Matt.' she whispered while tears were falling from her cheeks. 'Girls. Please, help.'

Zafyra and Shagon broke apart. Both were smiling when they phased back to their normal appearance.

'That was nice.' Shagon said.

Zafyra nodded in agreement while thinking about her encounter with her host. However her train of thought got interrupted by Ember.

'Ma'am.' Ember said with a certain dislike in her voice. 'Sir, the mistress wants to speak to you regarding the Guardian leader.'

Zafyra and Shagon nodded as they went to Nerissa. Khor followed them closely.

'Shagon, Zafyra.' Nerissa said with a small smile. 'I've heard about the encounter with the Guardians. Does any of you know why the Keeper was there?'

'Mistress.' Shagon started. 'Although we don't have any proof we think that the Keeper was either an altermere or the physical appearance of the Heart of Kandrakar.'

This wasn't in Nerissa's liking.

'It can't be an altermere since the only ones capable of creating one are me, Zafyra and the Oracle and I doubt that the Oracle did this. He's too stuck up to do such a thing.' Nerissa muttered. 'But that means the Heart created this new Will and I don't think I have any chance to deceive her.'

Nerissa then looked at her two angels, who were both kneeling before her.

'Very well. I want you to seek the Guardians once more.' Nerissa said.

'It shall be done, mistress.' Zafyra said and she and Shagon left Nerissa.

'It seems this is going to be interesting after all.' she said to herself.

Meanwhile in Heatherfield

"Will", Taranee, Cornelia and Hay-Lin exited the Silver Dragon. "Will", Taranee and Cornelia needed to get home while Hay-Lin wanted to go and check on Irma.

'About time!' a female voice said.

The girls looked up and saw the Knights of Destruction sitting on a high building. Ember shot a big fireball at the girls which barely missed.

'Guys are you alright?' Hay-Lin asked concerned.

'Fine.' Cornelia said while whipping her hair backwards. 'Okay everybody zen. Grande zen.'

"Will" nor Taranee seemed to have taken the hint because "Will" was sparking with energy while Taranee's glasses showed the reflection of fire. "Will" took the Heart and while looking at the Knights she said rather angerily: 'Guardians Unite!'

After the transforming sequence the girls and the Knights (except Khor) took flight. Zafyra and Shagon noticed that "Will"'s eyes were pink but then focused on the battle at forehand. Ember fired another fireball at "Will" but "Will" dodged it and then fired an electrical ball at Khor. Khor dodged it by jumping on the roofs of other buildings and while he did that, he tackled Taranee to the roof of another building. Hay-Lin noticed this and blasted a bolt of air at Khor to knock him off Taranee. Right after Hay-Lin liberated Taranee her legs started to freeze. The ice get creeping upwards until only her head wasn't covered in ice. She fell towards the ground from a rather high height but Cornelia caught her by using her power to make a pot plant grow. Then she focused and the plant crushed the ice. Cornelia then gasped as she saw that Ember shot a blast of fire at her and she flew away.

'Where is your friend?' Ember said annoyed. 'I hunger for her sweet misery.'

She then again took flight and managed to hit Cornelia in the stomach with another blast. Meanwhile Taranee and "Will" were fighting Shagon and Zafyra.

'Destroy us now.' Shagon said.

'And you'll never learn the fate of your leader and her boyfriend.' Zafyra finished.

With that both of them shot an attack at Taranee and "Will". Both of them dodged but were clearly angered by those words, increasing their hate feelings towards Shagon and Zafyra even more. Cornelia and Hay-Lin noticed this and flew to them.

'Uh-uh. Time to trade dance partners.' Cornelia said. 'You and Taranee take glow worm and the jolly snowman while Hay-Lin and I take the Halloween duo.'

Then both "Will" and Cornelia moved out of the way of an fire attack of Ember.

'Out of my way!' Tridart exclaimed angry. 'It's upon the Air elemental that I must feed!'

He then shot ice darts at Taranee but Taranee skillfully dodged them. Meanwhile Hay-Lin had taken some distance between her and Zafyra and was now enjoying a moment of peace when she heard some growling behind her. She turned around and saw that Khor was again up and around and he seemed to want some revenge. Elsewhere "Will" was dodging Ember's attacks while talking to herself.

'Gotta zen. Gotta zen.' she said. 'I am not Will. These aren't my real feelings. I need to zen.'

Then a vision of Matt came to her mind and she again felt her anger rising.

'Gotta zen.' she again muttered but she was getting annoyed with Ember's constant attacks.

'Gotta zen, but later. I am so having a tantrum!'

Ember kept on "Will"'s trail and was about to fire another blast when "Will" suddenly took a sharp turn downwards and Ember collided with the building. "Will" was now flying lower and shot past Irma.

'Hey Irma!' she said rather happy. Then it hit her. 'Irma?'

Irma looked up and saw "Will" flying. She nodded and "Will" transformed her.

Meanwhile Ember had recovered from her collision with the building and boy was she pissed.

'I will feast on their misery!' she exclaimed.

'Give it a rest!' Irma shouted.

Ember looked up and saw the that the Water Guardian was flying above her. She gave a laugh.

'Hahaha. My favorite.' she said. 'Your misery will make me more powerful than ever!' she said.

She then let loose a barrage of fire balls but they were a bit off. None of them hit Irma and Irma was gathering water in her hands, creating a little water shield.

'Here is the thing.' she said. 'My misery, not so important right now. What's important is making it up to Martin. You. You are just a Knight of Distraction!'

This angered Ember and she shot a big fire ball at Irma. Irma shot her shield towards the fire ball, cooling it off and turning it into a cooled piece of lava. The now cooled lava fell on top of a building. Cornelia took notice of it as she passed it with Shagon right on her tail. She used her telekinesis to take the stone with her. Back at Irma and Ember. Ember was getting annoyed.

'I don't feel any pain.' she said angrily.

Irma flew higher and said in a mocking caring tone: 'Aaaw, really? Here's some!'

With that she soaked Ember with water. Ember screamed in pain as Irma smirked.

Zafyra had to chuckle at this sight. Ember might be her ally, but she hated her with a passion. Zafyra then turned her attention to Hay-Lin. She noticed that Khor was nearing her.

'Khor, attack the little fly over there!' Zafyra said as she pointed at Hay-Lin.

Khor growled and jumped towards Hay-Lin. Hay-Lin saw it coming but moved to slow to dodge Khor. Fortunately for Hay-Lin, Cornelia was just flying past them and she used her telekinesis to throw the cooled down lava rock at Khor. Khor got hit by it and was falling at a high speed towards the ground. Shagon stopped his chase after Cornelia and flew to save Khor.

'Khor!' he shouted.

Hay-Lin sighed in relief when Taranee called.

'Hay-Lin! Up for a little cook out?'

Hay-Lin and Taranee teamed up and with their combined powers they hit Tridart with a fire tornado. Tridart hit a top of a building hard and was in pain.

'Who's desperate now?' Hay-Lin said.

Meanwhile "Will" had noticed that Shagon was trying to save Khor and thought that this was a time for some payback. She shot a massive bolt of lightning at Shagon, just when Shagon had managed to get a hold of Khor. Zafyra however noticed this and immediately intercepted the bolt of lightning. But with a price. The bolt was that powerful that Zafyra got lightly wounded by it. But instead of attacking "Will" she flew towards Shagon and Khor.

'Thanks.' Shagon said to Zafyra.

'Don't mention it.' Zafyra said a little annoyed.

Behind them "Will", Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay-Lin gathered. Ember and Tridart landed next to Shagon and Zafyra.

'I can still feel your hatred, Heart.' Shagon said, getting a surprised look from the girls.

'I also feel your hatred, Taranee.' Zafyra said. 'And it will be your undoing. But not today.'

With that the Knights took off with Shagon carrying Khor. W.I.T.C.H. looked at the Knights.

The Knights returned to . Ember and Tridart went to report to Nerissa. Shagon laid Khor down and then turned to Zafyra.

'Your hurt.' he said. 'Let me help you.'

'I'm fine.' Zafyra said. 'I'm just tired.'

'Then let's go to sleep.' Shagon said.

He took Zafyra in his arms and folded his wings around her.

Back at Heatherfield

Uriah was talking through the mic of the radiostation of school. Irma came in and glared at Uriah.

'Wow, I'm getting the Lair glare.' he said as he moved out of the way.

Irma went to the mic.

'Hi…uhm well everybody knows about… yesterday.' Irma said. 'Martin, I was awful. I said some things I didn't mean, just to hurt you. I don't expect forgiveness, but I truly am sorry. And if you're not in my life, I'll be the real loser.' She then walked away.

Uriah walked to the mic. 'Wow! Irma…Way to totally wimp out! Talk about LOOOOSSSSERRR!'

Irma walked through the hallway and lots of children were laughing at her.

'Stop that you guys!'

Irma looked at the speaker and saw Andrew Hornby winking at her. She then noticed Martin walking away from her locker. She went to open it and a paper fell out. The other girls came to her.

'So what does it say?' Hay-Lin asked.

Irma read the paper out loud.

'You'll never be a loser.'

At Mt. Thanos

Shagon and Zafyra were sleeping. Shagon had his wings wrapped around Zafyra.

Will sighed. She had seen to what Zafyra was capable off. She was wishing and hoping with all her Heart that the girls could do something to safe her and Matt. From the fog a person appeared.

'Matt?' Will said surprised.

Matt smiled at her.

'I figured out that whenever Shagon and Zafyra are close to one another we can see each other. And so long I can see you I have hope. So you don't give up either.'

Will smiled weakly at Matt.

'I won't.' she said. 'I just wish I didn't feel like a Loser.'

Matt took Will's face in his hands.

'You're no loser. Not to me.'

They then kissed.

And that was the rewriting if L is for Loser. Hope you liked it. I'm not sure if I continue, depends on the reviews. I also want to encourage other writers to continue with this. If you want, just tell me in a review and you can ask me more if you want about Zafyra or her behavior. Till another time!

TTigerz signing out.

ps. Don't come nagging about my other stories because I'll keep procrastinating!
