New Guardians; Ranger Style
Chapter Three: Armored Guardians
"Okay Psychomi," Mizu says with a joyful grin as a horde of shadow mantises around her vanish, "your turn."
"You really believe you can defeat me Guardian," Psychomi chuckles as a loud beeping sound is heard over the environment.
"Oh yea," Mizu says as she summons a massive wave of water behind herself.
"That is impressive," Psychomi gulps in surprise.
"Would you wake up," Derrick's voice echoes through the battlefield as Mizu shoots up in her bed. "Your alarm clock has been going off for about an hour now sis. Don't want to be late on your first day."
"First day," Mizu groggily asks while rubbing the sand out of her right eye before both eyes open in realization. "Oh crap I'm late!"
"See ya down stairs then sis," Derrick says with a chuckle as the brown haired girl sprung from her bed and frantically started putting clothes on her body.
Then in a flash the water maiden slides down the stair railing, while grabbing her sea green messenger bag and slipping her morpher on her wrist, and bolts out the door before her mom could say anything otherwise. As she ran down the street she finished tying her shoes while turning the sky blue shirt, that Ray Anne insisted that she wore because of her Guardian color (it was some ranger tradition or something), so that the front pointed in the right direction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I say three minutes," Ray Anne says with a chuckle while she, Eva, Ondo, and JB were sitting under the large tree in front of their school. She was wearing a white shirt with a gold emblem in the middle of the chest, while a gray back pack with a plethora of Power Ranger key chains rested on the ground next to her. She wore basic blue jeans and her usual tennis shoes and wrist band.
"I don't know," Ondo says with a grin while breathing softly in a meditative state, "I say five." Ondo wore her usual basic clothes, a green t-shirt and tan pants, though everyone but JB knew she had her emerald green gi in her dark brown bag for Judo practice after school.
"What are you betting on?" JB asks scratching at the collar of his white shirt. Rodimus was thankfully close enough to the prince's size in order to supply him with a fresh set of Earth clothes, though he looked even more out of date than Ray Anne's bag.
"They're trying to see who gets the time right," Eva says tuning her guitar. She had on a pink vest over a black tee and her usual baggy black pants. By her sat her black and white messenger bag which was adorned with a Power Rangers patch that Ray Anne had found and put on it.
"For what," JB asks as Amethyst finally finishes doing a variety of tricks on her hover-board and floats over to the group.
"That," Amethyst says while landing and pointing at the panicked and very frantic Mizu as she careens into the front courtyard and right into a group of cheerleaders. The Fire Maiden was wearing a red halter top with a large strap that goes over her right shoulder. She also had on her tan shorts that she usually wore as well as her new white tennis shoes.
"Sorry," Mizu says rubbing the back of her head as she helps an obviously angry cheerleader off the ground.
"Don't touch me freak," the cheerleader snaps as she storms off.
"That could have gone better," Ondo says standing and helping to straighten Mizu up.
"Yea, yea," Mizu says noticing Ray Anne chuckle. "Rub it in why don't you."
"No," Ray Anne giggles even more, "you forgot something."
"What are you talking about," Mizu says checking herself over, "I got my shirt, pants, shoes, morpher, goggles, bag, and kendo…oh come on."
"That's okay, Mizu," Amythist says hovering behind the Water Wielder and squeezing her cheeks. "There is an assembly today remember."
"Yes," Mizu says with a mischievous grin, "we can get my gear then."
"Oh no," Ray Anne protests while wiggling her finger in the air, "you are rangers and should follow the rules."
"We are following the rules air girl," Mizu says, "ours, but that isn't important right now. I've got some interesting news."
"Like what," Eva asks as she slings her guitar onto her back and walks up to the group.
"Remember that elemental we fought yesterday," Mizu says with a calm grin.
"Yes," the entire group says at once.
"Well," Mizu says calmly, "I checked the book and it looked like the descriptions of Cornelia's elemental form when the girls changed to defeat super Cedric."
"Are you saying that we fought Ondo's predecessor," Amethyst asks hovering behind the woman.
"Well I could have told you that," JB pipes up at the question, but before he could explain the school bell rings to start the day.
"You are so explaining when we go to Dr. N's today," Mizu says as she and Amethyst leave the courtyard for Mizu's house. The assembly was always at the beginning of the first day and the two were notorious for not going to a single assembly. "See you guys later."
"You better not get caught," Ray Anne yells as she and the others enter the building and head toward the auditorium.
"Have they ever," Ondo says with a smirk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So if I'm right we have about an hour," Mizu says as she and Amethyst walk down the street, "and since I can get to school in about fifteen minutes when I walk normally I don't think there is any reason to rush."
"Yep," Amethyst responds before three colony patrol cars careen down the road in front of them.
"Shadow Beasts," Mizu asks scratching her cheek.
"Dr. N would have alerted us," Amethyst says calmly.
"Ready," Mizu says lifting up her morpher.
"Ready," Amethyst says with a nod before the two make sure no one is around.
"Guardians Unite," the two say in unison as they morph into their Guardian forms and then fly after the patrol cars. The two arrive on the scene to see twelve squad cars surrounding a large cat-like robot that was the size of a small bus.
"What is that thing," Amethyst asks as the two hover above the situation out of sight.
"How the hell should I know," Mizu retorts as the robot quickly throws a patrol car, "but it is definitely not friendly." The two then fly closer.
"Hey ugly," Mizu screams as she and Amethyst land in the circle of cars, "what do you think you are doing?"
"Guardians," Derrick says from behind his car a smile forming on his face, "good we could use their help."
The robot angrily roars and tries to backhand the girls but they quickly float over the assault. Mizu then lands and fires a torrent of water into the robots head, but as the attack subsides the robot shakes the water off its head and roars once again.
"Well," Mizu gulps, "water doesn't work."
"Then how about fire," Amethyst says as she fires three fireballs into the creatures chest but the result was the same as the attack that Mizu unleashed as the beast shook off the blast.
"It's obvious that the Guardian's can't handle this," an older officer angrily yells, "someone call in the mecha assault vehicles."
"Don't worry sir," Mizu screams, "we have everything under control. Guardian Strike Sword." Her ice like blade then appears in front of her as she grips the hilt tightly and points the silver tip at the monster.
"Round two then," Amethyst says summoning her weapons. "So what's the plan?"
"Hit it till it breaks," Mizu says as she flies at the creature and slashes at its neck, but the mechanical beast moves too fast for her and quickly bats her aside. She then crashes into Amethyst as the being burrows underground to safety.
"Are you two all right," Derrick says as he and a fellow officer hop out from behind their patrol car to check on the two girls.
"Yes," Mizu says as her brother helps her up.
"We are sorry that we were unable to help," Amethyst says as the officer that helped her up, apparently named Martin, walks over to his comrade. He was a tall; thin man that looked more like a lover than a fighter, but as the two girls learned on their first day as Guardians. Looks can be deceiving.
"Don't worry about it mam," Martin says calmly tilting his hat to the two. "You did help to scare that thing away."
"I bet they're in league with the creature," a person who looked to be the two officers superior says walking up to the group of four. He was a short man and kind of resembled the dwarves from one of Amethyst's many fantasy books with his large bushy beard.
"And what would make you say that, chief," Derrick asks with a gulp as the two girls glare daggers at the man's accusations.
"How else would they be able to show up just in time," the chief says angrily, "and they didn't harm the creature plus let it escape."
"Sir, I don't…" Derrick is about to say his opinion but is interrupted by Mizu.
"Listen chief," the brown haired armored woman says walking up to the man as he angrily glares at her. "First, we are heroes and just helped you, and second there are five of us total so if your little theory was true then why aren't we all here? Third, you didn't seem to be doing too well in the injuring the creature department either so there. "
"Maybe you are all here and are just trying to keep your cover you little freak," the man angrily yells into the girl's face but the flinches in fear as Mizu gets ready to smack him for the insult. Thankfully for him Amethyst holds the warrior of water back.
"Sir," Derrick speaks up as the chief regains his composure, "the Guardians have come to the rescue for us when we were in trouble before, and have helped us now. They are obviously not an enemy."
"Have you been reading your sister's bedtime stories too much lieutenant," the chief yells as he turns to walk back to his squad car, "because the days where you can trust people are long gone." The man then gets in the car. Then all the cars beside's Derrick's have left.
"Sorry about that," Derrick says turning around to notice that Martin had pulled the small sketchbook from his pocket and was happily rushing to draw the various features of the two women.
"Don't mention it," Amethyst says as the two start to hover.
"We were glad to help officer," Mizu says as the two fly off in the direction of the school.
"They're beautiful aren't they," Martin says as the two get in their car.
"Yea," Derrick said looking very thoughtful, "but who are they?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two guardians land just outside the football field and quickly return to human form before running toward and into the school building. The two then wait outside the large auditorium for the assembly to get over so they can inform the rest of the group about the strange robotic beast that they had just fought.
"So you are saying that some giant robot attacked you and is somewhere under the city," Ondo asks calmly as the group walks down the hall.
"That is exactly what I'm saying," Mizu says rubbing her forehead.
"It was powerful too," Amethyst says, "it withstood everything that we could throw at it."
"I say we inform Dr. N about this as soon as possible," Ray Anne says with a serious expression on her face.
"I concur," Mizu says turning her stare to Ondo, "which means."
"Both of us won't be going to practice," Ondo sighs in an annoyed tone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the school day ends the group heads quickly to Dr. N's lab to inform him of the situation.
"A giant robot," Dr. N says in a questioning tone, "if such a thing is running around then it is possible that you are just too small to truly affect it."
"What's that supposed to mean," Eva says in an annoyed tone, "we beat both Brutus and Cassandra. They are about the same size as this thing."
"That is what disturbs me about this," Dr. N says as the alarms in the command center blare angrily at them.
"Shadow beasts," Ondo questions as they look at the monitor.
"Unfortunately," Dr. N says as he pulls up a screen showing two of the cat like robots crashing through the city. "Those aren't shadow beasts."
"I thought you two said there was only one." JB asks turning to Mizu and Amethyst.
"There was okay," Mizu says as the tan girl stares at the screen.
"Who's that," Amethyst asks pointing at a man wearing what seemed to be modern body armor while he floated on a hovering disk.
"Don't know," Mizu says, "but he picked the wrong day to mess with us. Guardians ready."
"Ready," the four say quickly. Then within seconds the five are in their Guardian form.
"I will stay here with JB," Dr. N says before the girls leave, "I've been working on a project that might help out this situation."
"Okay," Mizu says as the girls fly off into the city.
"Why do I need to be here," JB asks, "I should be out helping the Guardians?"
"I need someone to help me activate the Heart of Meridian." Dr. N says as he opens a side door of the command center.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sounds of gunfire are heard as the mecha assault units desperately try to hold off the group of robotic beasts.
"We need backup," someone on the ground screams.
"There," another person screams as the five Guardians fly onto the scene.
"I'm sorry," Mizu screams at the man floating on the disk as the five land quickly, "but you need to have a permit to walk giant robotic animals in the streets."
"And who might you be," he angrily growls looking at the five girls, "I did not know a species of flying hominid evolved on this planet."
"As swift and gentle as the wind," Ray Anne starts the girls' introduction, "Guardian of Air."
"As strong as stone," Ondo grins continuing the intros, "Guardian of Earth."
"As fierce as the wildest flames," Amethyst says taking her pose, "Guardian of Fire."
"As fast as lightning," Eva says following her friends, "Quintessence Guardian."
"As powerful as the ocean," Mizu says with joy, "Guardian of Water."
"We are the Guardians of the Infinite Dimensions," the five say as they enter their group pose and their morphers flash brilliantly, "defenders of light."
"That is quite an impressive display," the man chuckles a bit. "Destroy them." The two beasts turn on the five girls and angrily roar.
"Allow me," Ondo says placing her right palm on the ground to summon a wave of asphalt and cement to careen at the two beings as they begin their charge at the girls. The two metal cats stop and dig their claws into the ground as the mass of rock collapses on top of them. Then after about three seconds the two rip themselves from their tomb and shake off all excess rubble.
"I told you they shake off most attacks," Mizu says turning to a startled Ondo.
"I'll try then," Eva says drawing electrical current into her palm. Then thrusting her hand forward she fires a large blast of lightning at the beasts. One of the metal monsters then raises its hand and catches the attack sending it into the ground through its body like a lightning rod.
"Now what," Ray Anne asks as they hear the man laugh at their attempts to wound the beasts.
"Combo," Mizu says, "hit them with combination attacks."
"I got just the thing," Amethyst says, "Ray Anne you're with me." The two girls then take off as the two beasts get ready to pounce.
"I hope skater girl knows what she's doing," Ondo says as her gauntlets appear on her arms.
"They'll be fine," Eva says as she twirls her spear in the air.
"And it's not like we still don't have some tricks up our sleeves." Mizu says as she thrusts her blade toward them.
Suddenly, two tornados made entirely of flame slam into the creatures. The metal cats hiss for a second before hoping out of the attack and shaking the flames off.
"That didn't work," Ray Anne sighs as she and Amethyst float back down to the ground.
"I thought for sure it would," Amethyst says as the rest join them.
"Then it's time to use a real weapon," Mizu says, "bring them together team."
The group nods as their weapons fuse into their combined form.
"Guardian Auramere Catapult," the five says as energy gathers in the contraption. "Ready, fire." The drill like blast of energy careens at the robots and scores a direct hit. The robotic monsters growl in pain as they finally fall to the ground with giant holes in their chests.
"Yes," Mizu says before the two turn the weapon at the man. "We beat your monsters. Now it's your turn. Ready, fire."
The man does nothing but laugh as the weapon does not fire.
"What's wrong with it," Eva asks quickly.
"I think it's out of ammo," Ondo gulps, "we should of asked how many shots this thing had."
"It doesn't matter," Mizu says as the weapons separate. "His friends aren't around anymore."
"Quite the contrary female," the man chuckles as a massive battleship like craft lowers out of the clouds that hung over the city. "I have lots of friends."
"You've got to be kidding me." Mizu says as three more cat robots land on the ground behind the man as about twenty or thirty smaller human shaped robots landed or hovered around him. Lastly, a large exoskeleton appears behind him and he hops in to create a large black humanoid fighter.
"The Synaptic Empire will rule this world," the man screams before turning his eyes on the five girls, "but we are always looking for specimens for breeding experiments."
"Now that's just nasty," Amethyst says with a shiver.
"We'll stop you," Ray Anne screams back while flying high and pointing at the man, "we are the Guardians after all."
"I don't mean to bust your bubble little ranger," Eva says as the other four fly up to the girl, "but the only weapon we have that can beat them is out cold."
"Both of you are right though," Mizu says, "we are the Guardians and we will beat these guys or die trying."
"Then let's get in there," Amethyst says with a grin.
"Right," Mizu says with a nod.
"Wait girls," Dr. N says over their communication system, "I've already sent the reinforcements."
"Reinforcements," Eva asks looking at the others who shared her equally confused look. Soon, two beams of light green light slam into two of the cat creatures debilitating them.
"Allow me to introduce you girls to the Guardian Wing," Dr. N says as a large space plane like vehicle hovers above them. "It is a powerful unmanned vehicle that can traverse worlds if it needs to."
"That is so cool," Ray Anne says flying up close to the ship.
"And it is run on the power of the Heart of Meridian," JB's voice says through troubled breaths.
"The true surprise is inside girls," Dr. N continues, "inside are the equivalent of that man's armored exosuit. The Guardian A.R.M.O.R.E."
"A.R.M.O.R.E," Mizu says in a confused tone while figuring out the name. "Where does the extra R come from?"
"My name," JB says with a chuckle.
"What does A.R.M.O.R.E stand for then?" Eva asks looking at Mizu.
"That's an easy one," Mizu chuckles, "Amethyst, Jabari, Mizu, Ondo, Ray Anne, and Eva. I guessed they used the R in JB's name to make it sound better."
"All you girls have to do is activate them and follow the Wing's lead." Dr. N says calmly.
"So Fuuton," Ondo says to snap the girl out of her admiration, "you're the expert on this part."
"Right," Ray Anne says flying quickly to the group, "follow my lead."
The girls nod to each other as they softly land on the ground.
"We need Guardian A.R.M.O.R.E power now," Ray Anne says while the others just mimic her movements. The Guardian Wing's cockpit shaped eye piece lights up as it quickly begins climbing high into the air. The girls quickly get over their surprise and rush after it. It soon flips in the air and nose dives at the girls while five hatches open up around its body to reveal access shoots.
"I think that's how we get in," Ondo says quickly as the jet soon approaches.
"Good thing they're color coded," Amethyst says as the girls position themselves to enter their respective shoots.
"Just remember to go in feet first team." Mizu says while she closes her eyes as the five of them flip in the air and let the craft catch them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mizu opens her eyes again to see that she is inside the cockpit of a powered mecha. She places her hands in the two padded holes to her sides and squeezes the joystick within them. Then a monitor shows in front of her to reveal a lightly armored almost aquatic looking robot before the letters O.K flash in red and she is dropped out of the Guardian Wing at the street below. She was able to see clearly now and looked around to see five other hominid shaped things falling toward the ground.
"Now girls," Dr. N comes up over the robots internal comm. system. "Once you land you'll need to pump your elemental energy into the A.R.M.O.R.E."
"Okay," Mizu says. She was unsure of the other girls' reactions but was sure that they were well as all five robots flip in the air so that they land on their feet.
The ground cracked as the mech's slammed into it but soon all five were standing fully erect.
"Guardian's," Mizu says into the comm. system. "Check in."
"Air A.R.M.O.R.E," Ray Anne says with glee as one that appears to be a combination of a jet fighter and a human turns from its dull grey color to a shimmering white while the symbol of the Heart of Candracar appears on the mech's shoulder. "All systems green."
"Earth A.R.M.O.R.E," Ondo says as the large one that was built like a heavily armored robot turns a shimmering green. "Ready when you are."
"Amethyst here," the fire girl says as another lightweight machine turns a red color and hovers slightly, "I love this job."
"I'm good to go," Eva says calmly as her mech, which looks like the cross between a motorcycle and a human, turns bright pink.
"And so am I," Mizu says raising the mech's arm to take a defiant pose, her aquatic like mech turning blue as she does this.
"Do you really believe you can beat me because you have robots," the man says turning what appears to be a Gatling gun at the girls and their mecha.
"This won't end well," Amethyst says as he fires but the attack is blocked by Ondo in her tank like mech.
"For him that is," Ondo says as her machine uncrosses its arms to reveal a perfectly unharmed robot.
"That's right," Mizu says with a confident tone. "Guardians show these guys what we can do." With those words the five girls separate as the army of metal divides to follow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray Anne takes quickly to the sky. It only took a slight twitch of her wings to send her flying on the jet's thrusters. Thankfully she was able to get in control in time to avoid fire from ten of the hominid robots that followed her.
"How do I fight," Ray Anne says dodging the laser attacks, "when I don't have any weapon systems." As if voice activated a screen appears on her monitor to show her where the weapons were located. She dodges another blast and as the screen shows points a closed fist at the robots. Then with an incredible kickback three tornados launch like missiles at the group and decimate all but three of the fighters.
The remaining three then draw what look to be light sabers from one of Rodimus' classic movies that Ray Anne specifically remembered was older than her beloved Power Rangers. Ray Anne then flies at the three as the wings of the jet pop up and is grabbed by the A.R.M.O.R.E's left hand to reveal that they are a bladed butterfly sword. Then in a flash Ray Anne skids to a stop while spinning as all three enemies explode.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eva was easily avoiding the ten robots that followed her. Her mech was fast and seemed to be a perfect match for her. She turned and pointed her right hand at her pursuers before firing a multitude of pink beams at them. She then saw multiple explosions but notice there were still two left, but couldn't find where they went.
Suddenly, she sees two red dots on what she hopped was radar. One was coming at her from the front while the other tried to reach her from behind. She knew this kind of tactic well and as the first on came in sight she hoped quickly over it being sure to slam a kick into the back of its head piece to send it spiraling out of control into the other one. She then turns and fires another beam into them causing their destruction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amethyst only had to deal with five of the buggers. She had originally started with eight but after the first volley of her impressive projectile fireballs she had lowered the number. The only problem was in the fact that they were fairly small targets. She stops behind a building and fires another barrage of flame missiles and scores a clean hit on two of them while taking out a third's left leg effectively debilitating it before it explodes for what Amethyst can only assume was a self destruct feature. She steps out of her hiding place while looking for the other two. She is alarmed when one of the mechs grabs her and holds her from behind. The second one then comes flying at her brandishing its energy blade in hopes of skewering her body.
"Amethyst laughs to herself as she twitches her wings a little to activate thrusters that melt through the enemy robots shoulders and effectively free her while the other one spears its wounded friend. She lands on the two and makes her fist glow bright red with heat before slamming it into the non injured one's skull and hoping away just before they both explode.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So do you want the guy or his pet tiger," Ondo asks as she and Mizu stare down the two large machines.
"I'll take the guy," Mizu says running at the two, "I'm not a cat person." The robotic animal charges the blue robot but before it can pounce it is grabbed by a green armored hand that pulls it through the ground and right into Ondo's clutches. The Guardian of Earth then wastes no time in crushing the cat's chest with a powerful blow. Ondo then tosses the robot aside and slowly charges the other enemy.
Mizu on the other hand had already gotten to him and the two were exchanging heavy blow for heavy blow.
"You really think a female," the man roars as Mizu is knocked down and he points his powerful weapon at her cockpit, "a lesser being can kill me."
"Yes," Mizu says covering the mech as best she can while Ondo slams a large back mounted cannon into the man's robot's side before firing three rounds in quick succession causing the machine to explode then and there.
"You okay," Ondo says extending a hand to help her leader up.
"How'd you get over here so fast," Mizu asks as she dusts her robot off.
"It turns out I've got treads on my feet." Ondo responds as they notice the battleship start to flee.
"Oh no it doesn't," Mizu says angrily, "Guardians aim for the battleship. Give it everything you got."
"Okay," Ray Anne says as she places her machines hands together and a white orb appears inside.
"Roger," Eva says as she two creates a small orb only hers is pink.
"I'm on it," Amethyst says creating a red orb.
"Let's do it," Ondo says as she and Mizu create orbs of energy in their respective colors.
"Okay," Mizu says with a grin, "Water." She then fires the orb as a powerful beam of blue energy.
"Fire," Amethyst says as she fires a red beam.
"Earth," Ondo says as a green beam leaves her machines hands.
"Air," Ray Anne screams firing a white beam.
"Quintessence," Eva says as she launches her beam.
"Guardian Infinity Strike," all five say as the beams strike the battleship and instantly decimate it.
"That worked," Ray Anne says with a chuckle as the girls board the Guardian Wing and fly back to the command center.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That was a great job girls," Dr. N says as the five run into the command center smiling joyfully. "You pushed them back for now."
"What do you mean for now," Mizu asks as the girls expressions change to one of worry.
"When the battleship was destroyed the command centers scanners picked up something large leaving Earth's orbit." Dr. N says in a regretful tone.
"Well at least we know we can beat them," Ray Anne cheerfully says.
"Yea," Eva says, "with the Guardian Wing and the A.R.M.O.R.E in our arsenal we can't lose."
"We still should not get cocky," Ondo says in an attempt to humble the two sisters.
"Well after a long day I could use a good night's sleep." Amethyst says with a yawn.
"Before that," Mizu says turning her gaze to the Meridian prince, "JB has some guts to spill."
"About what," Dr. N asks.
"About one," Mizu begins, "Cornelia returned to her elemental state, and two is how the hell she ended up on Psychomi's team."
"Well," JB says calmly, "long ago when my ancestor Elyon was still on the throne terrible being attacked the guardians. That being is the reason the heart is now broken, but during the attack the Aurameres themselves sealed themselves within the shards which went to each Guardian, but the being wanted the shards and hunted them mercilessly. Lady Cornelia thought it would be wise to entrust her shard to her best friend, but before she could make it to Meridian the beast mortally wounded her."
"What happened next," Mizu says interested in learning.
"I'm getting to it," JB scolds, "Lady Cornelia though was able to make it to Meridian and give the shard to Elyon moments before she was about to day. Elyon, afraid of losing her best friend quickly used the power of the Auramere inside the shard to turn Cornelia into her elemental form so that she may live. What she did not realize was that the spell took too much life force and the Queen could not muster the strength after that to free her friend. Instead Lady Cornelia helped the people by instantly plowing their fields and such, until…"
"Elyon died," Ondo says noticing the change in tone.
"Yes," JB says calmly, "and the shard as well as elemental Cornelia were sealed inside the tomb with the body. Generations then passed and my sister learned of the shard and what it held control over and robbed our ancestor's tomb thus gaining both the Shard of Earth, and Cornelia's servitude."
"Well that explains enough for now," Amethyst yawns, "it's time for bed."
"I agree," Dr. N says calmly scratching his head, "you'll all need your strength if Psychomi or the Synaptic Empire attacks."
"We know already," Mizu says as the five guardians plus JB leave the command center and head home.

A/N: Chapter Three introduces the girl's zords as well as the second evil the new Guardians must face, The Synaptic Empire. Other than that there isn't much to say other that this chapter also reveals some of the back story of NGRS. Thank you all for reading.
Technology Notes: Guardian Wing and A.R.M.O.R.E
The Guardian Wing is a powerful interdimensional transport fighter that carries the Guardians most powerful weapons, the A.R.M.O.R.E. The Guardian Wing is powered by half of the heart of Meridian and actually bears the Meridian crest instead of the symbol of the Heart of Candracar. The vessel itself is able to open folds at will and can also teletransport if needed. It is also capable of exciting the Earth's atmosphere yet there is still no reason for it to do so.
The A.R.M.O.R.E (Amethyst, Jabari, Mizu, Ondo, Ray Anne, Eva) are the Guardian equivalent to the Ranger's zords. Each is built based on the girl's individual elements, hence why Ray Anne's is part jet and Mizu's is more aquatic. They possess incredible power and speed but are powered by the girls own powers mixed with the powers of the Heart of Meridian, unlike the Guardian Wing which is powered by half of the Heart of Meridian.
Well, that's it for notes. Hope you all enjoyed the chapter. And thank you Wilhelmina Vandom for your reviews.
