Irma : Whoa, hold up, why am I only showing the less role on the previous chapter?

Me : Because you have things to do, duh.

Will : But we did have a big role at that last chapter.

Me : Don't push it Will, and while you're here, why not read the disclaimer.

Will : storyLover58 does not own W.I.T.C.H., or any other things of the show.

Me : Thanks, now on with the show...

Chapter 3 : Escaped

Irma has just left the police station as she was heading to the abandon train station. She then took out the Heart of Aquariat before opening a fold to Meridian. She then went through it after making sure that nobody was around.

Irma landed in a forest as she look around her surroundings. She then began to walk towards the direction she thought it would lead her to the palace. But she didn't check whether the fold had closed or not. As she walked deeper, she felt a weird feeling, that she had forgotten something.

Meanwhile, a maid was still running through the woods when she spotted another fold nearby. She went closer to it before looking behind her to make sure she was sure that the guards weren't following her. She jumped through the fold, after making sure the coast was clear. She then landed on the platform of the abandon train station. She doesn't recognised her surroudings as she got up. She look back at the fold before looking down in the tunnel. 'That could be a good place to hide. And I do need a rest,' the maid though before she headed towards the tunnel.

The guards were running through the forest, tracking down the maid for their king. They then spotted a fold, and a brunette girl was standing in front of it. Then the girl later closed the fold which left the guards baffled. But they just shrugged before they approached the girl. 'Halt! You are coming with us!' one of the guard yelled, which Irma turned around to face the guards.

'Whoa! Hold up! I haven't seen you guys before. Have you come from outer space?' Irma asked jokingly. The guards got confused by the way the girl spoke to them, and even the clothes has made the guards even more confused.

'You are coming with us back to Medimn,' the guard said. He didn't care whether the girl they were after ha change into some strange clothes or talked weird, he just wanted to take her back to Medimn for his king. The guards soon followed him, as they approached Irma.

'Seriously, I just got here and now I'm being threaten,' Irma said before she raised her hand, facing the guards.

The guards look at her, before looking at each other. They then suddenly laugh as Irma could feel a little mad. 'Look at the maid. She thinks she could stop us,' one of them said.

'C'mon, we better get her back to the king,' the other guard said before they stopped laughing.

'Don't tempt me,' Irma warned them as the guards slowly approached her.

'Tempt you? About what?' the guard asked.

'This,' Irma said before she sprayed a jet of water at one of them. This has stunned them for a while as they helped their fallen comrade.

'Get her right now!' the guard yelled.

'Yes sir!' the rest of guard called out before they approached Irma.

'Okay, maybe that wasn't such a good idea,' Irma said before she turned around and began to run away from them. The guards were close by as Irma were dodging the tress, jumping over trees and defending herself as she was trying to find her friends for help.

Meanwhile, the guardians were searching the area for any possible hiding spot as they need to capture Zarla as soon as possible. 'Taranee, can you feel any body heat?' Will asked, knowing Taranee's abilities to sense any body heat.

'No Will, even if I want to, I'm still new to it,' Taranee said as she haven't tried it before.

'Great, what we need now is more problem,' Cornelia complained as they went through cave to cave.

'Hay Lin, try to listen to the wind for Zarla. She couldn't hide that good,' Will said as Hay Lin nodded. She used the air element to hear any sound of breathing in the caves, but she can't as there wasn't any. But she did hear something else.

'Will, I have two bad news, the first is that I can't hear any sound from Zarla,' Hay Lin explained her first bad news as the girls listened.

'And the second?' Taranee asked.

'Well, I also hear some people with some weapons chasing a girl in the forest nearby,' Hay Lin explained. The girls looked at each other, wondering who could it be when they remembered something.

'Irma!' the girls yelled together. 'Quick, let's find her!' Will said before they began to search for Irma instead of Zarla, as Irma was in trouble.

Meanwhile, Irma was still running through the forest. 'Where are they,' Irma asked as she looked around for her friends. She hoped that they find her soon, or the guards would take her to another world. She later stopped to find out she was at a lake. She turned around to see the guards were closing in on her. She then move the water from the lake before shooting at the guards, thus sending them backwards. But this didn't stop them from coming closer to her.

She then went into the lake. When she was halfway, she looked back to notice that the guards were still following her, even they went into the lake. When she reached land, she got out of the lake before placing her hands into the lake and quickly freezing the lake, trapping the guards in the ice. She then continued to head into the forest, towards the direction of the palace. But the guards were hot on her trail again as they managed to break the ice around their legs, which surprised Irma how fast they could escaped.

Irma later spotted a cave on her right after stopping for some rest. She headed towards the cave while making sure that the guards weren't around. As she went closer, she could hear the guards closing in on her. So, she ran into the cave to hide from the guards. She then sat behind a rock in the cave while the guards were still running pass the cave. Irma then took a peak from behind the rock and could see that the guards has just pass the cave.

Irma breath in a sight of relief that she has finally lost them. As she got up from her hiding place, she saw one of the guard standing outside the cave. She then quickly ducked back down to hide again. She then took another peak from behind the rock and found out they have a smart one. 'Hey! She didn't went that way! She went this way!' the guard yelled as he pointed at the direction that Irma went cause there was footprints that was in the mud leading into the cave. Irma smack herself on her forehead as she forgotten to cover up her track.

The other guards later regroup before headed towards Irma's hiding place. Irma was now freaking out, as she was trapped inside the cave, because the cave was a dead end. 'Oh man, this is so not good,' she thought as she tried to think up of a way to get out of this bad situation.

She took another look and noticed that the guards were inches away from her as they had just entered the cave. Irma was hoping that her friends would come and find her really soon, cause she was now in a really bad situation.

As the guards were nearing the rock which Irma was hiding behind, they heard something else outside the cave. 'Quick, two of you, go outside and check who was it,' one of them ordered. The two guards nodded before following his order to check who was outside the cave while the others were closing in on Irma.

Outside the cave, the two guards were looking around for any sign of people. But there weren't as the coast was clear. But what comes next wa unexpected. The two guards were blwon up into the air, literally. They yelled out of surprised, as they were in the air before they were caught by two pair of hands. 'Man, I wonder how did Irma get in this much trouble,' one of them said.

'Yeah, I haven't seen these guards before,' the other girl said as she looked at the guards.

'Put us down this instant!' the guard yelled.

'As you wish,' the red headed said before letting go of the guard.

'Will!' Cornelia yelled while the guard was shouting for help as he was falling, heading straight towards the ground.

'Don't worry, besides, he told me to let him go, so I did,' Will said while Hay Lin managed to caught the guard in time before he impacted the ground.

'Er, guys, I think we better help Irma, cause I can sense her tension, literally,' Taranee said as she held her head.

'Lets go,' Will said as they headed towards the ground.

When they landed, Cornelia made a cage to hold the guards while they try to help Irma. The guards were now trying to free themselves, but they can't as their weapons weren't with them anymore.

Back inside the cave, the guards were now at the rock where Irma was hiding. As she looked up, she was surprised as the guard was now looking straight at her. Irma tried to use her powers to defend herself, but the rest of the guards were now beside her. She then dodge their attempt to capture her as she headed deeper into the cave. But she didn't went that far as she stopped at a dead end. 'No where to run, girl,' the guard said as Irma turned around to face the guards.

'Couldn't we discuss about this first?' Irma asked, hoping they'd stopped, but they didn't as they were now inches away from her. 'I didn't think so,' Irma said while she back-up until she felt the wall behind her. There was no escape for her now as she looked to her left and right, hoping for some kind of small tunnel, but there wasn't. She sprayed some water at them, hoping to stop them or slow them down but they kept on coming.

When the guard was about to grab Irma, he felt a small pebble hit him from behind. The guards spun around to see that there were four girls at the entrance of the tunnel, flying. 'Now, don't you dare hurt our friend,' Will said as they got ready to defend themselves.

'You four girls think you can stop us?' one of the guards said before they laughed at them.

'Should we do this the hard way, or the easy way,' Cornelia asked the guards.

'No matter which way, you four girls don't have any kind of weapons to fight us. What makes you think we want to choose either both of it,' one of the guard replied before laughing again.

'You guys ask for it,' Hay Lin said before she landed on the ground. The guards think that there would not be any kind of threat since the girls doesn't have any weapons on them, but they didn't expect the next thing. A gust of wind was blown fro nowhere at them as they held some rocks on the ground.

As the wind had died down, the guards got back to their feet before picking up their weapons. 'No body will block our way, even if it is girls,' one of the guard said before they charge up on the girls. But they move, or weren't afraid as they just stood there.

'Taranee,' Will said.

'Got it,' Taranee replied before heating the guards weapons instantly. The guards were screaming in pain as they blew their hands because of their hot blades.

'Now, would you leave our friend be, or do we have to take you in,' Will said as she landed on the ground, before a spark was visible between her fingers. The guards didn't know what she was doing, but they would not leave until they have what they came for.

'We will never leave before we take her back to our king,' one of them said while pointing at Irma.

'Now what did she do?' Cornelia asked sourly.

'She ran away from our kingdom in Medimn. Our king asked us to recapture her or there will be consequences,' the guard said.

'Whoa, hold up! First of, where is Medimn? Second, even if you want to take me there, there is no way am I going. And third, can't your king find another maid?' Irma said as the guards faced her.

'Don't pretend you don't know, maid. Now you're coming with us, whether we carry you, or not,' the guard said before he grab Irma's arm.

'Hey! That hurts!' Irma cried out as she struggled between the grip of the guard.

'Let her go!' Will yelled before she strike the guard who was holding Irma's arm. This has stunned the guard, which made him black out.

'You will pay dearly for that!' the other guard said. They then charge at the four girls with their blades.

Taranee again heated the blades, and this time, they were completely melted through. But the guards continued to charge, even without their weapons. 'Hay Lin, some air,' Will called out.

'Got it!' Hay Lin replied before blowing a big gust of wind at the guards, sending them flying towards the wall, which Irma was standing. Irma yelp before ducking out of the way. The guards hit the wall when Irma ducked in time as she went towards her friends.

'Thanks, you guys just save my skin,' Irma said as she looked back at the guards, who were now pinned onto the wall by the wind.

'Now, we will have to find a way for you not to be captured,' Will said firmly while Hay Lin has stopped blowing. The guards then landed on the ground. Cornelia quickly made a cage, each cage holds one guard, making sure they don't attempt to escape.

'And now that's done, let's tell Elyon about this,' Cornelia stated.

'But we can't leave them here. What happens when they escape?' Taranee asked, concern about whether the guards could escape before capturing Irma again.

'Good point. Hay Lin and Taranee, you two will stay here to make sure the guards won't escape while I, Cornelia and Irma will talk to Elyon about this,' Will said as the other girls nodded. Will then took out the heart before opening a fold to the palace. Then she, Irma and Cornelia crossed the fold while Taranee and Hay Lin stayed in the cave to make sure the guards won't attempt any escape.

In the palace, three girls were in the thrown hall, but they noticed that Elyon wasn't in the hall. 'Wonder where could she be?' Will asked before the two girls shrugged. Then they went to search for Elyon to tell her about who they captured. As the girls flew pass the dining hall, they noticed that there were plates on the table. They figured Elyon has just finished eaten. They quickly heads towards the balcony, hoping that she would be there.

Upon reaching the balcony, they found Elyon in the garden, drawing a picture of a flower. 'I wonder how she always manage to get back to the palace this fast,' Will stated as she scratch her head. Then they flew off the balcony, with Irma being carried by Will, before landing behind Elyon.

Elyon looked behind before she yelped out of surprised. 'You guys scared me,' Elyon said as she placed her hand over her heart. 'So, why are guys doing here anyway? And where is Taranee and Hay Lin. Oh, and hey Irma,' Elyon said, noticing Irma beside Will.

'Well, the reason we came here is because we have caught some guards,' Will said, which made Elyon wondered was it her guards, or somebodies else.

'Let me get Caleb, a couple of guards and Raythor first before we leave,' Elyon said before she rushed into the palace. The three girls hurriedly followed her into the palace to find some guards, Raythor and Caleb. Luckily for them, both Raythor and Caleb were in the meeting hall, discussing about the safety of the village.

'Guys, we need to head somewhere,' Elyon stated.

'Where to, my queen?' Raythor asked as he looked away from the map of Meridian.

'We need to head into a cave,' Will answered.

'But first, Will, transformation,' Irma said.

'Oops, forgot about that,' Will said as Irma rolled her eyes. She then took the Heart of Kandrakar out before calling out. Then a blue colour orb engulfed Irma, transforming her into guardian form.

'Now, let's go,' Will said before opening a fold back to the cave. Raythor even called two guards to follow them through the cave before he, Caleb and Elyon followed.

At the other side of the fold, the gang were inside the cave, with the guards still trapped in their cages. Taranee and Hay Lin later came into view as they both got up from behind one of the rocks. 'These are the guards that I told you about earlier,' Will said as she pointed at the guards.

'They tried to take me with them to some world,' Irma said as she crossed her arms.

'Irma, it's called Medimn, they told us earlier,' Cornelia said, correcting Irma. She then grunt while looking away from Cornelia. Elyon then walked up to the imprison guards, blocking their view of the girls. They don't even notice Irma's guardian form.

'Guys, I don't know who they are, but trying to kidnap one of my friends is a crime,' Elyon said as the two guards were beside Elyon.

'We were just following our orders,' one of the imprison guard said.

'Well, you better have a good explanation for coming to Meridian, as you are just looking for trouble,' Elyon stated before looking back at the girls.

'Time to go to prison, I guess,' Irma said looking at the guards.

'Let us go, we didn't come here to create any trouble,' the guards in the cage pleaded.

'Then, tell us in the prison, as we need to hear what you have to say for an attempt on kidnapping my friend,' Elyon stated before she signal Cornelia that they needed to move the guards into the prison.

The guards finally noticed that Irma was in guardian form, which they didn't noticed it earlier as Elyon and the two guards blocked their view. 'Wait, why does she look like a fairy,' one of the guard asked as he pointed at Irma.

'Oh, I don't know, maybe because I am telling the truth and I'm a guardian!' Irma replied sarcastically.

'What did you mean she looks like a fairy. You guards haven't heard of the Guardians of the Infinite Dimension? Or Kandrakar?' Will asked as the guards shook their head left and right to both of the question.

'No wonder they thought Irma was the maid. Imagine, Irma doing labour work,' Cornelia said jokingly, which Irma glared at her.

'You know, you just asking for water in the face,' Irma said as she twirled some water around her finger.

'Guys! This is not the time!' Will said, trying to prevent any arguments between the two girls. Cornelia then went to move the cage, which was imprisoning the guards, before the girls and the guards went to held them. They then crossed the fold that Elyon made while Cornelia raised the cages.

They landed in the prison, before moving the guards into their specific cells while Will put up an electric bars, making sure they won't escape. 'Welcome to your new home,' Irma said as she looked at the guards.

'Well, time for interrogation,' Will said as one of the guard was still with them. They then dragged him out of the prison before putting him on a chair.

'Now, let's start with our first question, who is your king,' Will asked as she stood up, looking down on the guard. She stood up in order to make the guard fear her, which Irma told her about whenever a police was interrogating a thief, they would stand up, while looking down on them so that the thief would tell them about what has he done.
(Man, I'm bad at this)

The guard was getting a little scared as he was looking around the place. The girls were hoping that the guard would answer their question as to why did they wanted to get Irma. And why do they called her the maid.

Sorry for the late update. With the exam going on last week, I have to concentrate on that. And I even have another story that I really needed to get it out of my mind. But I finally got it out. Anyway, this chapter was quite troublesome as I have to retype it twice. Now, I really need those reviews.

PS : The story I made before this chapter is a crossover between W.I.T.C.H. and Monster Allergy. Here is the link :
