Chapter 4:
Two hours later:
"We've been walking for at least two hours!", Cornelia complained at they walked down the dirt road they found when they came back to Earth from Kandrakar. "Can we please take a break?"
"We took one a hour and a half ago, Cornelia.", Hay Lin said. "We have to hurry and find the Pegasus before that Air girl does!"
"Hay Lin's right.", Will said as they continued walking. "The sooner we find the Pegasus and convince it to give Hay Lin and hopefully Eric some of it's power, instead of Air, the better."
"I hate to say this, but I agree with Corny.", Irma said. "It's not the walking that's getting to me. It's the heat!"
"Don't call me Corny!", Cornelia said.
"Irma has a point though.", Stephen said. "It is pretty hot."
"Really?", Taranee questioned. "It doesn't feel so hot to me."
"Me neither.", Angelo said.
"I wonder why, pyro couple.", Peter said.
"Well, they do have the power of fire.", Matt said. "So I guess the Sun's heat doesn't affect them as much."
"I just wish the location of the Pegasus was near the beach.", Peter said. "Beautiful surf..."
"Nice cool water.", Irma said lazily happy voice.
"Not helping guys.", Cornelia said.
"Sorry.", Irma and Peter said.
"I'm starting to think what you grandmother told us about who might get what power is true, Hay Lin.", Will whispered to Hay Lin.
"Yeah.", Hay Lin whispered back with a giggle as she thought back to what Yan Lin told them before they all left Kandrakar.
Flashback
"The Pegasus is where?", Eric asked just to make sure he heard right.
"Greece.", Yan Lin said.
"Makes sense.", Taranee said. "The Pegasus is mostly told about in Greek legends."
"So it's off to Greece with you all.", Yan Lin said as she opened a fold for Greece.
"All of us?", Hay Lin questioned. "But I thought that we only needed to bring Eric seeing as I picked him to have the Pegasus power with me."
"I only told each of you to pick someone that you trusted.", Yan Lin said. "It'll be up to the Beast of Legend to pick the one of the boys to give some it's power to."
"So, instead of Eric, it could be Matt or Stephen.", Cornelia said.
"Right.", Yan Lin said. "Like Taranee with the Phoenix, the Pegasus will be drawn to you Hay Lin because of your power over air."
"Which means that it's a sure bet that the Pegasus will give you some of it's power.", Irma said.
"Well, let's get going.", Cornelia said. "One of those cloaked creeps might already be there!"
"Cornelia's right.", Will said. "We have to beat them to the Pegasus!"
Hoping to beat Fire and his friends, the Guardians and their boyfriends ran through the fold.
End Flashback
"Maybe the Pegasus will give some of his power to one of the other guys.", Hay Lin said as they continued walking down the path.
"It'll be okay, Hay Lin.", Eric said as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "The important thing is that we beat Air to Pegasus. Right?"
"Right!", Hay Lin said with a smile as they continued on their way.
"Okay, I know the Pegasus can fly and all, but it does have to land to get something to eat.", Stephen said. "And if that fold dropped us off close to the Pegasus, then why haven't we seen it?"
"Stephen's right.", Matt said. "We should of seen the Pegasus by now."
"Maybe we're looking in the wrong area.", Taranee said.
"What do you mean?", Will asked.
"Remember when Fire and his friends took me away?", Taranee asked. "Think back to where they had me chained up."
"I don't want to think about it, but it was on top of the cliffs that over look Heatherfield.", Angelo said.
"Right.", Taranee said. "And seeing as the Phoenix is a bird, it likes high places."
"Which means that the Pegasus might be up some place high.", Peter said.
"Like maybe a mountain?", Cornelia questioned.
"Bingo!", Taranee said.
"But which mountian?", Irma questioned.
"Mount Olympus?", Stephen questioned which got him some questionable looks from the others. "What? He could be there!"
"Worth a shot.", Angelo said.
"I say we go for it!", Hay Lin said.
"We have to find it first.", Matt said.
"Why not use the Heart.", Taranee suggested. "We got nothing else to go on."
Will then pulled out the Heart of Kandrakar and closed her eyes to focus her power.
"Please guide us to Pegasus.", Will said hoping it would work.
At first nothing happened. But then, a purple beam of energy shot out of the Heart and was headed towards a mountain. Seeing this, the kids followed the beam that ended up at the foot of a mountain.
"Looks like we go up from here.", Matt said.
"So this is Mount Olympus.", Peter said. "Cool!"
"This is pretty cool.", Angelo said. "But we have a flying horse to find."
"Time to fly guys.", Will said.
"Water!", Irma said as she transformed into her Guardian form.
"Fire!", Taranee said as she transformed into her Guardian form.
"W.I.T.C.H.!", Will said as she transformed into her Guardian form.
"Whoa!", Peter said as he saw his sister in her Guardian form.
"A little weird, huh?", Taranee asked flashing a smile.
"A little, but it's pretty cool how tall you get.", Peter said with a grin.
Will, Irma, and Taranee then noticed that Hay Lin and Cornelia haven't transformed yet.
"What's wrong with you guys?", Will asked. "Why haven't you two transformed yet?"
"Well...", Hay Lin began to say.
"Don't worry Hay Lin.", Eric said. "I won't freak out."
"You sure?", Hay Lin questioned looking at him.
"Well, I might be a bit shocked and amazed, but I'll be okay.", Eric said.
"What about you?", Cornelia asked Peter.
"Same thing Eric said.", Peter replied as he held Cornelia's hand. "I'm not going to see you any different Cornelia. I promise."
Hay Lin and Cornelia looked at each other before taking a deep breath and...
"Earth!", Cornelia said as she transformed into her Guardian form.
"Air!", Hay Lin said as she transformed into her Guardian form.
"So, what do you think?", Cornelia asked as she and Hay Lin stood before their boyfriends.
"Whoa!", Peter and Eric said as they looked their girlfriends up and down.
"Well that says it all.", Irma joked.
"Let's fly ladies!", Will said as she floated into the air.
The girls soon followed Will into the air. Then Will grabbed Matt's hands and flew upward, while Irma grabbed Stephen's hands, and Cornelia grabbed Peter's hands, and Hay lin grabbed Eric's hands. As they were flying upwards, the guys noticed that Taranee and Angelo weren't with them.
"Where Taranee and Angelo?", Peter questioned.
Suddenly, a whistling sound was heard from below them. They all looked down to see Angelo and Taranee sitting on a long log that Angelo was using his Guardian Descendant powers to make fly upwards. Once they were at eye level, Angelo and Taranee waved at them flashing a bright and happy smile.
"Hey guys!", Taranee said as they past them by.
"See ya at the top!", Angelo said as they moved upward.
"Hey!", Cornelia yelled.
"Get back here!", Irma yelled.
"No fair!", Hay Lin said.
"Showoff!", Will shouted.
"I know!", Angelo shouted back.
Moments later, Angelo and Taranee were at a large cliff where grass and apple trees grew.
"Let's check here first.", Angelo said as he made the log land.
"Plus it'll give the others time to catch up.", Taranee said as they began to walk around the area.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew at them, making them hold their arms up to try and block the wind.
"Is it Pegasus?", Taranee questioned.
"Not sure!", Angelo said as he made a wall of dirt rise up from the ground to block the wind.
"I forgot that he is a Guardian Descendant!", came a familiar voice as the wind died down.
"He controls the earth, yet he has the power of the Phoenix within him as well!", came another familiar voice.
"Fire?", Angelo and Taranee questioned before running out from behind the dirt wall.
Taranee and Angelo looked up to see that it was indeed Fire who was floating in the air beside a girl in a violet robe with violet hair and eyes. Taranee and Angelo knew this girl well.
"Air!", Taranee said as she eyed the girl.
"I take it you're here for the Pegasus.", Air said as she looked down at Angelo and Taranee. "Well, so am I! And it'll take more than you two to stop us!"
"Then it's a good thing that they're not alone!", came the voice of a certain brunette.
Angelo and Taranee turned to see the others landing on the cliff.
"What took you guys so long?", Angelo joked.
"Very funny.", Will said as she and the other walked up to them. "So, who's the girl with purple hair?"
"Her name's Air.", Taranee said.
"It's kind of weird that they're named after the elements.", Eric said.
"Yeah.", Hay Lin said. "It's kind of insulting to us."
"So let's kick their butts and find the Pegasus!", Cornelia said.
"I second that!", Irma said.
"Might as well spread my wings.", Angelo said as he held up his right arm where his Phoenix wristband was on. "Legend Form! Flames of the Phoenix!"
Suddenly, a thing of fire came out of the wristband and covered him in a ball of fire, surprising everyone but Taranee. When the ball of fire faded away, Angelo stood before them in his Legend form.
"I'm never going to get tired of that!", Angelo said as he stretched his wings.
"You guys stay back.", Will said to Matt, Stephen, Peter, and Eric. "Can't risk you four getting hurt!"
"And just to be safe.", Angelo said as he made the wall of dirt, he made earlier, stronger. "Get behind the wall and stay there."
As they boys went behind the wall, the others turned to face Fire and Air.
"Let me guess.", Air said. "This is where you try and stop us."
"Pretty much.", Cornelia said.
"Then let the games begin!", Fire said as he shot a flame at Irma.
Irma quickly put up a water barrier to block the attack, but before it was even close to her, the flame went towards Angelo and got absorbed into the chest plate of his battle harness.
"How are you able to do that?", Fire asked.
"A trick I learned while training.", Angelo replied. "I can take the power and do this!"
Angelo then fired a powerful flame from his hands at Fire and Air and trapped them in a ball of fire.
"That should hold them!", Angelo said.
"I don't think so!", Air said as she blew the fire away with a powerful gust of wind!
"My turn!", Cornelia said as she made some powerful vines grow out of the ground and wrap around Air and pull her down.
"Nice try!", Fire said as he prepared to burn the vines.
"Not so fast!", Irma and Hay Lin shouted as they combined they powers to freeze Fire making him fall to the ground.
Will then blasted Fire making him fly away at a distance.
"That was for the punch in the gut!", Will said.
Just then, Hay Lin saw a large shadow moved by them.
"What the...?", she said as she looked up to see a beast with large wings.
As it past by, Hay Lin saw that it wasn't a bird. She then saw that it had four legs.
"Is that the... Pegasus?", Hay Lin questioned as the animal flew off. "Guys! I found it!"
"What?", Cornelia questioned. "Where is it?"
"It flew off in that direction!", Hay Lin said as she pointed in the direction the Pegasus flew.
"Then let's go!", Will said. "Let's go get the guys and get going!"
"You guys go!", Taranee said. "Me and Angelo will hold Fire and Air off!"
"Are you nuts?", Irma questioned.
Taranee then held up her right arm where her Phoenix wristband was on.
"Legend Form! Flames of the Phoenix!", Taranee said.
Suddenly, just like with Angelo, a thing of fire came out of the wristband and covered her in a ball of fire, surprising everyone but Angelo. When the ball of fire faded away, Taranee floated there in her Legend form.
"Get going!", Taranee said.
"Let's go!", Will said. "Right now, Taranee and Angelo are the only ones that can really take them!"
So the four Guardians grabbed their boyfiend's hands and flew off in the direction of the Pegasus with Hay Lin in the lead. Seeing them fly off, Air knew where they were going.
"No!", Air snapped as she put a lot of power into slicing through the vines that held her. "I will not lose this chance to get that power!"
Fire then melted the ice away and took to the sky after the Guardians and their boyfriends along with Air. But as they were closing in on them, Angelo and Taranee appeared in front of them.
"Going somewhere?", Angelo questioned.
"You will not stop us from achieving our goals!", Air snapped. "I will wield the power of the Pegasus!"
"We'll see about that!", Taranee said as she and Angelo got ready to fight Air and Fire.
A/N: Well, our heroes are in Greece fighting to get to the Pegasus before Air does! Lucky for them, Hay Lin saw the winged horse fly by. Now she along with Eric and the other are heading towards the Pegasus while Taranee and Angelo are facing off against Fire and Air. Will the Pegasus give Hay Lin and one of the boys, hopefully Eric, some of it's power? Or will Air get there and get the power?
Please review.
