Chapter 4: Beginning to remember, and plea for help

Disclaimer! I only own the plot, and have permission from the owners of OC´s Storm, Stripes, Adhara Vine, and Casey to use them in this story.

A girl with fierce sky blue eyes, her brunette hair pulled up in a ponytail, she had a keyblade shaped necklace with a heart divided into thirds around her neck, was on a nightfury, flying through the skies.

"We should probably head back to GMAD, Nightshade." The girl told the nightfury. "I mean, who knows what is going on with everyone else." "It's been a few days since we went out on that recon mission, it's probably time to head back." The girl and Nightfury returned to a mountain.

'Turn back! You're going to crash!' but the girl and Nightshade didn't crash. The flew into an opening, and into the GMAD lair.

Laural bolted awake, she checked her clock in her room. 6:10 am. She looked around, and saw the girl she had seen in her dreams.

"It´s about time you start remembering your past." She had said. Her six foot long double swords intimidated Laural.

"What do you mean?" Laural asked.

GMAD laural sighed in frustration "It's hard to explain, but the Ningi no Hebi hasn't been killed like everyone thinks." Regular Laural blinked in confusion. "Do you not remember your past?" GMAD laural asked. Seeing the confused look on her normal counterpart, she sighed. "I guess not…"

"What do you mean?" Normal Laural asked. "I've always lived a regular life…." GMAD Laural groaned.
"Star was right… our normal counterparts are clueless…" She muttered. She faded back into nothingness.

"Weird…" Laural said. She got out her dream journal and jotted the dream down. Getting dressed she thought about her dream, what did it mean? And not to mention the appearance of the girl from her dream appearing to her in real life, what was that about?

She went out to the kitchen and brewed herself some coffee, getting the creamer and the sugar down, she went back to her room and got ready for the day.

After she got ready for the day, she went back to the kitchen, and made her coffee with two sugars, and put the creamer in, after she had made herself coffee to function for the day, her form started flickering. From what she was wearing to the girl she had seen in her dreams.

"What the…" She said. 'This can't be real… they're just dreams, Right?'
Laural turned on the TV to News channel 10.

"Even though it has been confirmed that GMAD is officially wiped out by Hebe no Ningi, the leaders of the following countries are calling for any surviving GMAD guardians to help fight:
The United States of America, England, and Canada." The reporter said.

"President Clark of the USA, is visiting the GMAD lair tomorrow night in hopes to find any surviving members." The reporter continued. "We will report how that went when President Clark returns from the lair."
"Thanks Emily." The reporter said, as it cut back to the village of Kataina. "And were back in the village of Kataina, the assumed downfall of the last members of GMAD." The reporter from the first chapter said. "I'm back with the village chief, who stands firm on his belief that the guardians of GMAD were reincarnated."

"Main abhee bhee apane vishvaason par drdhata se khada hoon ki jeeemedee ke sanrakshak punarjanm the. kya mujhe apane gaanv ko jaanane par koee duhkh mahasoos ho raha hai ki jeeemedee ke antim shesh sadasyon ke lie antim vishraam sthaan hai? agar main ne kaha ki main nahin tha to main jhooth boloonga. main gahara dukhee hoon, phir bhee mere gaanv ke sanrakshakon aur unake dregan ke lie antim vishraam jagah hone ke lie sammaanit kiya gaya hai. "

Subtitles appeared at the bottom of the screen as the chief spoke.

"I still stand firm on my beliefs that the Guardians of GMAD were reincarnated. Do I feel any grief at knowing my village was the final resting place for the last remaining members of GMAD? I would be lying if I said I didn't. I am deeply saddened, yet honored for my village to have been the final resting place for the Guardians, and their dragons."

"Well, there you go folks. The chief of Katiana is still firm on his beliefs, do you share his beliefs?"

Laural turned the TV off. She heard a knock on the door. "Laural! It's me, Nightshade." Nightshade said, not even bothering to wait to be let in. "Come on, we're going to be late for school."

Laural looked at the time, her eyes widened when she saw it was almost 7:50. "Nightshade, why didn't you come get me earlier?!" Laural ran out of the door, grabbing her school supplies on the way out.

Rebel's POV
Rebel sighed, as she turned off the TV, she straightened out her deep blue hoodie, with the words. 'The magic gamer.' on it in black. Brushing through her long dark auburn hair, she noticed the girl she saw in her dream.

"You're, the girl I saw in my dream!" Rebel said in surprise.

GMAD Rebel smiled. "Yeah, I am." She said. "Guess it´s almost time….."
"Almost time for what?" Normal Rebel asked.

"H-Hu?" GMAD rebel said. "O-oh not much…" "Has your appearance been flickering?"
"That's an odd question to ask… but yeah, it has… why?" Normal Rebel asked. "Does it have anything to do with my dreams I'm having?"
"Yes, it does." GMAD Rebel said, confirming Normal Rebel's thoughts. ¨It´s n-not much to w-worry about...¨ ¨Don't worry about dad… he thinks your with King Mickey… I can't say for how much longer though...¨

GMAD Rebel disappeared into oblivion… or so it appeared.

LAURALKELLEY99´S POV
¨Left, left, left.¨ Laural whispered, as the lead drumline marcher hit his drum. The band was practicing their field entree for the football game this friday. Her left foot's heel hit the ground each beat of the drum.

¨Check, close.¨ The trumpet player in the next line to her whispered. ¨And welcome to the the field, the Guardian High Marching Band!¨ their director yelled into the mic. The drum majors did their salutes, and went to the podium. The band hustled to set 0.

Colour guard started their dance for the show, the band started playing their music.
¨Remember to be at set, don't lose your focus." The director called out.

They did a run through the entire show… well what they had learned anyways, spelling out GHS on the field, played the fight song, and the bell for second period to go to class rang. The band quickly put up their instruments, and went to the band hall, and hustled to class.

Thor´s pov

Thor sat in his second period class, as his teacher went on about how important safety is now that GMAD has been wiped out. Looking at the clock, Thor noticed it was about two minutes until the tardy bell for that class rang. He saw Star, and Rebel come running in.
¨And we just dodged a bullet, Key….¨ Star said, as the late bell rang. And muttered something about hating school.

Rebel nodded in agreement… not about the whole hating school thing, but having just dodged a bullet. Stripes looked at his rider. ´I wonder if she´s beginning to remember.´ he thought. ´I´ll ask Nightshade at lunch if Laural´s beginning to remember.´

The bell for third period rang, and the group hustled to their next class.

Laual´s POV
Laural was combing through her light auburn hair, when she noticed her outfit was different than the one she had put on. Her hair was a dark brown, her eyes were a seablue, she didn't have glasses. Six foot long double swords were strapped to her back, one was bronze, the other was golden, and sparking with electricity, she had a plain T-shirt and blue jeans on instead of a knee length dress, and white trainers. ´The girl from my dreams…. Does this mean, their not just dreams?´ She thought. She shook her head, not possible. Not even reasonable.

Her outfit flickered back to the outfit she had on this morning. She shook her head, and went to class.

Opening her chromebook, she opened google docs, and started on the project that her teacher had assigned her. Laural didn't think much about her assignment as she worked on it, words just kind of appeared on the page. Before she realised it, she had finished her assignment, and it looked good. Like it wasn't just something that was randomly put together. Sharing it with her teacher, she turned in her project.

The bell for lunch rang, and Laural, and her group of friends went to the school cafeteria.

Nightshade´s POV
Nightshade, Storm, Adhara, Stripes and Casey, all sat at a separate, secluded lunch table. ¨I think Laural´s beginning to remember her past as a GMAD guardian.¨ Stripes nodded in agreement.
¨It's the same with Key.¨ Stripes said.

¨It´s way too early for them to start to remember.¨ Casey said. ¨It´s only been two months.¨

¨Since our ´deaths´, but it´s been at least a year at minimum for the others.¨ Adhara said.

The group went silent. ¨We´ve been fighting the Nagi for that long?¨ Stripes asked.

¨Stripes, have you been able to go back to your nadder form?¨ Nightshade asked. He shook his head no.

¨I haven´t yet...¨ Stripes said.

¨Hey, not all is at a loss.¨ Adhara said. Nightshade nodded in agreement.

¨Yeah, Laural´s been copying her behaviors and habits she had in her past life.¨ Nightshade said.

¨Yeah, so has Star.¨ Adhara said.

¨Not to mention, their forms are starting to flicker….¨ Storm said. ¨That should be a sign that their beginning to remember as well...¨

¨What do we do?¨ Nightshade asked. ¨The band has a competition in two weeks, and Laural´s form can´t start flickering… it´ll start rumors.¨

¨You did say she was an alternate at one point right?¨ Stripes said.

¨Yeah, she was at one point.¨ Nightshade said. ¨But, she was better than the marcher she was shadowing, and she got the spot for herself.¨
¨I guess that´s fitting, as seeing she is the guardian of Band Life.¨ Storm said. The other dragon- turned humans nodded in agreement.

¨Now that I think about it, Star is excelling in astronomy this semester." Adhara said.

"Yeah, and Key is doing really well in psychology." Stripes said. ¨Hey, Storm, how´s Thor doing?¨
¨Well, as seeing he was the guardian of wisdom, he´s excelling in all subjects.¨ Storm said.
