In the Battle Warriors HQ, the Battle Warriors had decided to pass the time, watching a movie - March of the Fallen. Some movie about fallen soldiers, who had came back as vengeful revenants to get vengeance on the kingdom that betrayed them. All of usual people were there, minus Angelo, Miranda and Elyon - who were at Meridian. The Guardian's - who had banned from the HQ, and Mia - who was talking Uncle Joe, upstairs.

"Your a facinating young-woman, I might say Mia Brown," said Uncle Joe, drinking some of his apple-juice.

"I'm not that interesting - I was born, got betrayed, survived, then reunited with my little sister," replied Mia. "Not very different from Elyon's life-story."

"True...but your's has an interresting turn in it," said Uncle Joe.

"I grew up alone?" asked Mia, confused and saddened a little.

"You were the first-born," replied Uncle Joe. "Meaning you should be the Heart of Meridian...and aswell the Queen."

"Yeah...well I wasn't...what can you do, when magic starts to change," said Mia, shrugging her shoulders.

"Well...here's the thing...magic as old as in Meridian...it doesn't take chances or changes in itself...my guess it has something to do with you and Elyon further," replied Uncle Joe. Before Mia could think about it further...she was folded away. A little shocking, when he heard the Battle Warriors being folded away aswell, yet he recognized that magic. "Oracle...you should really need to know, when not barge in suddenly."

In Kandrakar Elyon found herself suddenly in the presence of the Guardians, Caleb and Matt, the Battle Warriors along with Cassidy and her sister Mia, yet also Yan Lin and Kadma.

"Grandma? What are you doing here?" asked Hay Lin, breaking the silence.

"No idea. Here I was, minding my own business: making some dough, when I was suddenly whisked away," replied Yan.

"I was just watching a great movie with Caleb!" said a steaming Cornelia.

"We were just watching a movie aswell," said Angelo, addressing along with his other Battle Warriors.

"Bathing," mumbled Irma.

"The question being...why are we all here?" asked Mia, bringing some focus to the group.

"It's because of Havicus!" said Halinor, walking inside, a terrified expression on her face, the Oracle behind her.

"Impossible! We left him defeated!" yelled Kadma, not beleiving what she heard.

"Don't be so quick to judge Kadma," said Yan Lin, trying to calm her old friend. "None of us dealt the final blow to him."

"Indeed. And now he has returned to finish, what he started those twenty years ago," said Halinor, joining her old friends.

"Grandma? Who is this Havicus?" asked Martin, confused about the subject.

"Yeah. How about filling us in, on the subject. Since this is why you, obviously called us," said Will, getting nods from the other teens.

"I suggest...that the Oracle explain this," said a resigned Halinor.

"I don't think...I'm the one who should do this," said the Oracle.

"Don't beat yourself up," said Yan Lin. "Yet these are the new protectors - they deserve the full story."

"Very well..." sighed the Oracle. Creating an image of man, with brown hair and a brown mustache, along with green eyes, who looked to having a thoughtful expression to himself. "This is...or was Habicus...know now as Havicus.."

"He doesn't seem much," said Taranee, eyeing the figure.

"And this..." said the Oracle, changing the picture: from a healthy man to sickly looking figure wearing a rusty gold and green hood covering his face, glowing green eyes and pale white skin. "..is him now.."

"Yuck. He looks like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed," said Cornelia, suddenly getting stares from the old Guardians and Oracle. "What?"

"Your closer than you think child," said Halinor.

"Continuing - twenty years ago, a man named Habicus existed. A great healer and physician, well-known for knowing almost every healing spell in existence. People would come from far away to met the great man, who could heal any of their ailments...and those years ago. Habicus was even on the Council of Kandrakar."

"Are you serious?!" asked a startled Elyon.

"True that - I even remember him, helping us once," said Yan Lin, nodding for the Oracle to continue.

"Being who he was, Habicus was known to visit many worlds, to those who needed aid. On one world - Felan, he had also met, a young woman who he fell in love with, Fhelia...His life was a pleasant one, he was respected among us and among the worlds..."

"But what?" asked Caleb this time.

"He lost his love," said Kadma, shocking the young couples a little.

"His wife Fhelia was struck down by a blade, of a beggar...from a city-state called Xharia, in Felan. Still being a master-healer, this was not something he could fix. For it was her time, yet Habicus couldn't accept that...he tried every spell he knew, called on many aid' from various worlds...yet none brought back his love...Then he turned towards us...he begged us to aid him. We tried, yet the sad part was that we couldn't bring her back, she was gone. Yet Habicus wouldn't accept that, he was gone far, even claiming he could Fhelia back if we gave him, the Aurameres powers...this was something we couldn't allow. We stopped him...even banished him, when he tried to get them by force. For all that he had done, we couldn't stand this unfortunately."

"What happened?" asked Angelo.

"Xharia happened. Once the proudest city-state of Felan, suddenly went dark. A dark and empty silence fell over the city. When the other people went to investigate, they found a horrific sight - every citizen of Xharia had died, the palace and ruler of Xharia decimated. Yet the following was even more terrifying - the former soldiers of Xharia were dead, yet they didn't stay. Every guard, soldier and trooper were raised as mindless, shambling skeletons. Who obeyed only their master' command - who was Habicus...The former healer had become a corrupted image of himself, his former healing magic had been twisted into an unholy version, that took lives. Using these abilities Habicus, calling himself now Havicus, desired an army of skeletal servants to march against Felan - conquering those who had brought him pain...and then Kandrakar - who hadn't aided him, when he needed it most."

"Kind of crazy if you ask me," said Matt.

"Love is powerful emotion...or was for him," said Halinor. Making Matt, double-check on Will.

"We were sent to stop Havicus, before he could succeed, we fought wave after wave of his troops. He had grown very powerful, showing neither mercy or remorse. We finally reached his citadel - the former palace of Xharia. We fought him to the bitter end, yet it seemed we would fail...luckily we remembred the prophecy, utilizing it we sent a massive mind-blast at Havicus, not killing him but wiping his mind from existence," told Yan Lin.

"Why didn't you finish him off then?" asked Irma.

"We were barely able to stand then, Havicus' magic drained your very life-force and we could do little to stop. Aswell as that while Havicus' mind was destroyed, and his entire crumbled without its master, he had some elite undead. Who served Havicus, by their own will yet retained their magic from Havicus. These were the creatures, who prevented us from finishing him. Collapsing the Throne Room, where we fought, burying them and their master. We had hoped he perished...we were wrong," explained Kadma.

"And now he has returned to finish us," said Halinor frightened.

"You worry to much Halinor," said Yan Lin, patting her friend on the back. "We took Havicus down easily, these young people have both numbers and strength of youth on their side."

"Indeed," said the Oracle, opening a fold to the Felan World.

"Good luck young heroes. Don't forget, Havicus is nothing like you faced before, each spell he casts could be deadly to you," warned the Oracle.

"So what else is new?" asked Will, pulling out the Heart. "Guardians Unite!"

"Mystic Storm! Battle Form!" yelled the Battle Warriors in unison.

"Regent form!" yelled Matt.

"Alright let-AAH!" jumped Cornelia suddenly, seeing a humanoid shadow staring at her.

"What?" echoed a voice from the shadow, sounding like Mia.

"Sorry...a little jumpy with the whole...you know..." said Cornelia, calming down when she realized it was Mia.

"This is my Shade form...I can't go my full Beast-self outside the Dark Forest," explained Mia.

"Still creepy!" replied Irma, slipping through the portal. Soon followed by the rest of the Guardian's, Caleb and Matt behind them.

"Alright guys...and girls," said Angelo, rallying his forces. "Let's go kick some ass. Rush link us up. Keep your eyes open and cover eachothers backs."

"Understood!" they replied in unison.

"Elyon. What about you?" asked Angelo, realizing her predicament.

"I got her covered!" said Mia, her eyes lit up in excitement behind Elyon.

"Oh yeah! Kickin' butt sister-style!" said Elyon, high-fiving Mia.

"Good luck Cassidy!" said Yan Lin, wishing her luck, before she went through.

"BW's let's go!" said Angelo, leading them through the portal.

"Our time!" said Elyon, preparing to go through, when the Oracle suddenly stopped him. "What's wrong?"

"The prophecy we forgot to give you. In it, it is said to hold the key to defeating Havicus," said the Oracle. Conjuring a trio sentence's in mid-air:

Hearts of Shadow and Light,

opposite as day and night.

Opposite and similar in their right,

yet equal in their might,

in the Guardians plight,

the force of Xaos unleashed in their fight.

Yet be warned - Heart wielders,

because death may not touch the bearers.

If death' door on them calls,

then in the world Darkness falls.

"Wow!" exclaimed Elyon, reading the prophecy. "So me and Will must stop Havicus?"

"Yes! Because both of you carry Hearts," said Kadma. "Back then we had the Heart of Kandrakar and Zamballa...yet you have strength on your side now."

"Thanks! Come on Mia!" exclaimed Elyon, going through the portal, Mia behind her.

"Good luck heroes!" said the Oracle, closing the portal behind them.
