"A Guardian's Past"
Chapter 4: "Before the Battle"
Three hours later, the six girls were looking into their astral drops behind the Silver Dragon. Will's was still faulty, but was doing alot better.
Will started walking away from the group. "I'll be right back. I've got to talk to Matt about something. I'll meet you in Elyon's basement."
In a flash, Will was gone. The remaining team members left their astral drops and headed for Elyon's house.
-at the Olsen's pet shop-
The bell chimed as Will opened the door.
"Oh, hey, Will." Matt greeted her as he came from the back. "We're just about to close, so you only have a few minutes."
"Oh, I know. I'm glad I'm caught you before you left. I have a favor to ask of you. I'm going to be really busy for the next few days so I was wondering if you could take care of my dormouse for me."
Will knelt down beside her backpack and retrieved a wiggling dormouse. "I'd appreciate it."
Matt took it from her. "No problem. You've helped around the shop so much, I have to repay you somehow."
As Matt's hand touched hers, Will felt flustered. "T-Thanks Matt... I... I'll be back to pick Ghiro up soon!" She looked at her dormouse. "You be good now." Will hurried out the door and toward Elyon's house.
-at Elyon's basement-
"Will's been gone a long time." Taranee said, looking around at her four friends.
"Give her time, guys." Irma piped up. "Let her talk to Matt. After all, she's had the longest crush on him."
"Speaking of which.." Hay Lin heard Will's footsteps come toward them.
Will turned the corner, out of breath. "Sorry it took so long. Now... It'd be best if we were in our Guardian forms when we cross the portal."
She called upon the Heart of Candracar. "Ready?"
"Ready."
The Heart glowed and four Aurameres appeared and darted to their owners.
"Irma, Water!" Blue energy waves engulfed the water Guardian.
"Taranee, Fire!" Bright orange flames surrounded Taranee.
"Cornelia, Earth!" The stubborn blonde headed girl absorbed the green energy.
"Hay Lin, Air!" Hay Lin's two long ponytails moved with the shimmering wind.
Will could feel herself being transformed as her backpack was tore from her back and replaced by light, feathery wings.
After their transformation was complete, the Guardians entered the portal, with Elyon close behind.
Within seconds of their arrival in Meridian, a Metamoorian cried joyously, "Look! Queen Elyon has returned with the Guardians!"
"Guardians? Where?" came a gruff voice from over the crowd. It was a dark brown shape that stood on two feet with horns on each side of his head. He had hooves as feet and menacing eyes were planted atop his snoutlike nose. He threw both of his hands up in the air as it roared in anger at the Guardians.
"Are you sure your brother hasn't returned, Elyon? Because this thing looks like one of his failed experiments." Irma cringed at the sight of this new creature.
Not a chapter that is good for the plot, but hopefully, the next chapter will make up for that! Review!
As for good news, expect future chapters(chapter 7 at the earliest) to be longer!
Also, thanks to a reviewer at WITCH Fanfiction for the remaining names:

I'm just wondering, but does Irma's powers only work on existing water or can she "make" water from thin air? I thought is was existing water, but I'm not sure. If you know, please answer in your review!
