A/N
Thought I'd just post this as and when the chapters are finished.

Matt had explained everything, at least what he knew. What Tony had done, how he spoke to Will at school and what he saw, about how he found her at her mothers grave with fresh cut, how he tried to find Tony but he had come here. How he left her alone, and how angry he was at himself for doing so. He told them he used his powers infront of Tony and he pulled a knife.
"I don't know what happened then. But I know somthing hurt like hell!" Matt rubbed his chest. He wasn't sure if it hurt because of whatever happened or if it was because Will was gone and none of the others knew where.
"My guess, Will's emotions quite understandably got over whelming and she lost contol of her powers. She never meant to hurt you Matt, she just... acted I'm guessing." Taranee folded her arms, an angry fire appearing in her glasses.
"I still let this happen. I should have just kil-" Matt was cut off by Hay Lin screaming.
"Mathew Olsen don't you dare! I had that dream for a reason and you will not make come ture in anyway! I saw what could happen! I saw all the bl-" Hay Lin choked back more tears.
"Hay... I'm sorry." He looked down ashamed at himself, if only he stayed with her, she would have been safe. Tony never would have got that far.
"No! You are not aloud to turn into another part of Will's life that went bad! You stay the hell away from that monster, and we will deal with this." Hay Lin had never looked so authoritative. She turned to Taranee who had her usual stance when coming up with a plan, one arm folded, the other holding her chin with a stern look on her face.
"How could we just let him walk out of here!" Taranee groaned in frustration, throwing her hands in the air. "We need to find him and make sure he forgets everything he saw tonight, think you can take care of that part Irma, then make him march into the nearest police station and confess everything he has done to Will!" She placed one hand back on her chin. "But we still need to find him. And before he talks to anyone." Her voice had much more of a painic now.
"Mr. Huggles should be able to help with that!" Matt ran into his room, he saw the upturned dresser Will used to try and block herself in with. "Mr.H... Where are ya buddy. Its okay." No movement. "Hey Huggles?" His last order dawned on him. Don't let anything happen to her, okay. Matt knew where his trusted pet was. The same place his girlfriend was. "Oh crap." He muttered under his breath.
Matt came back into the broken down room, not once did it cross his mind that his grandfather would be around in the morning to check on him. Or how he would explain why it looked like a bomb went off in the living room.
"I think Mr. H may have hitched a ride with Will. I can't find him and he never ignores me when I call him." Matt kicked an already broken chair into smaller pieces. "God dammit!"
"I don't think that will matter. Looks like he was bleeding worse than we thought." Cornelia pointed out into the street. A trail of blood was slowly fading away in the rain soaked streets. "Hay Lin you think you can stop this getting any worse?" She made a gesture to the dark clouds that were only lit up by the occasional flash of lightning.
"I can try." The guardein of air was not at her strongest in this form but with her friend missing and the cause still out there she knew she could find the strength. She stepped out into the storm and raised her hands to the sky, closed her eyes and summoned all her power to push away the dark clouds to reval the bright half moon in the night sky.
The rain slowed untill it had stopped altogether and Hay Lin opened her eyes to see a sky full of stars.
"Wow." Irma watched as the gust of wind slapped the clouds away like they were dust.
"Right we will find Tony." Taranee said to the girls. "Cornelia you are gonna need to take Matt to get Napoleon. He might know how to find Will."
"Who made you learder!" Cornelia snapped.
"You think we have time for this!?" Taranee snapped back.
Cornelia folded her arms, knowing her friend was right. She was just annoyed she couldn't hunt down the dog that hurt her friend with the others, she had never liked Tony much. He gave her bad vibes and she had caught him looking at her in a quite creepy way more than a few times when she had gone around to see Will when she first moved in. It made a lot of sence now why Will never invited her or any of the other girls over anymore.
"You're right. Sorry. Come on Matt, lets find your red headed run away"

Will knew which world she was on, Corgn, they had used this empty world, they tricked an evil monster that lurked around the Infinite City after the first defeat of Phobos for years. But the cave she folded into was strange to her. When she first got here the walls were rough with jaggered rocks and unknown gem stones. Now she was trapped in the cave in she caused, her back slowly slid down the wall of the tiny space she was confined too. How do I fix this one. Will rested her chin on her knees. I could just stay here... Wait to run out of air. She could already feel the air getting thin around her. I'd just dissappear... Will's eyes begain to twitch and fill with tears. She tried to blinck them back but it was no use. They are all so much better off without me. Finally they fell, Will couln't hold them back anymore.
She didn't feel any movment, but she did feel the cold damp nudge to the side of her face. She moved her hand to try and move the distraction but her heart dropped when she felt soft fur and a fimiliar squicking in her ear.

"Right everyone is asleep so quite. I don't wanna explain why I'm sneeking in my friends boyfriend into my house at, Jesus is that time!" The clock in Cornelia's apartment read 4:17 am. "Er, who needs sleep anyway!" She mumbled.
"I couldn't care less, we need to find a way to help Will!" Matt was getting nervous. He blamed himself for Will running off. If he had just stayed like she wanted him to, none of this would have happened.
They sneeked through the apartment and down the hall to Lillian's room, where the protective black cat would sleep to keep a constant eye on his princess.
"Psst, hey fuz ball, wake up!" Cornelia whispered to not wake her younger sister through the slightly opened door.
They could see into the dark room, the moon light it up enough to see Napoleon curled up at the foot of the bed while a sleeping Lillian clung to a plastic wand.
"Psst, Napoleon..." The cat didn't stir. Cornelia grabbed a small pad of paper from the side table they used to take phone messages. She tore a small piece and flicked it at the sleeping cat.
Napoleon flinched but didn't fully wake up. Cornelia threw another balled up piece. "Hey you little ball of fluff, wake up!"
The small black cat shot up and looked around the room for his attacker, but only saw his fellow regent behind the earth guardian. "Err... Meow" He raised a questionable eyebrow before slowly stretching and jumping off the bed.
"Oh please take your time!" Cornelia snapped in a hushed tone as he slowly made his way to them. "Balcony!" she pointed at the door that lead back outside and the three of them silently made there way to the balcony.
Once outside and her sister safely out of ear shot Matt explained most of the story. Not everyone needed to know the whole thing. Not if Will didnt want them to. All the cat needed to know was Will was missing and was very emotional.
"Hm, sounds like she don't wanna be found Mack." Napoleon had begun to clean himself inbetween tired yawns. "Maybe you should just wait till she comes back"
"Not an option! We NEED to find her!" The cat could sense the urgency in Matt voice. "She needs us!" She needs me! "We have to find her, she could be in trouble!"
Napoleon sighed loudly. "I can't help you"
Matt felt like someone kicked him the chest "But..."
"I may not be able to find her but you can Matty boy." Both Matt and Cornelia looked shocked.
"Me? But how..."
_xXx_
"Huggles what aare you doing here?!" Will swollowed back her pain. She couldn't let him die down here with her. Will held the small creature in her hands and tela-transported to the surface. She hadn't noticed how little air she had down there. She felt quite light headed and fell to her knees. Mr. Huggles seemed to be doing better because of his small size.
But now what? I can't go back. How am I meant to lead them now, they know everything! Who would follow someone so weak, someone who would sit back and let this happen? Will's eyes begain to fill again.
Mr. Huggles looked around. Where were they?
The landscape looked so bear. Like someone had stripped away a forest, leaving no trace. Not a leaf or twig. This was Corgn, They had been here only once that Mr. H knew about. They had lured an enemy here, away from earth. Not bad hiding place.
But how will master find us?
_xXx_
The girls followed the trail into now muddy graveyard making it very hard to see the blood but they found him. He had a hand on one of the graves, dieing flowers scattered around him.
The girls ducked down behind the graves hopeing he hadn't already spotted them. Luckly he was to wrapped up in his own head.
Irma wasn't gonna take any chances on him finding them. She tried to enter his mind, make him forget. And make him confess.
It was a fog of anger and sickness. Irma clung to her head. Taranee, crouched behind the tombstone next to her struggling friend. So much pain. Can't find him. Feel sick. What is that? I know this feeling. God my head. Who is that?
"Irma?" Taranee reached out with her mind but what thrown back out. "Irma whats happening?" She whispered so not to cause attention to herself.
Irma's hands dropped from her head. "I... I don't believe it." She whispered. "That's... not... He's not Tony!"

Both Matt and Corneila were confused at the cats last statement.
"How the hell am I meant to know where she went? I wasn't even awake when she folded away!" This was stupid. Matt knew Napoleon didn't have the answers to everything, but usualy he would give some kind of insight.
"You got fur in your ears kid?" Matt frowned as Napoleon scrached at his ears. "You hold more of the Heart of Earth than me and your little rat combined." Matt's frown slowly turned into a look of confusion. "What you think even if she was playing Lillian would put so much power into a couple of house pets!?"
"Wait... What? I thought you guys all held a thrid of the Heart of Earth?" Cornelia was just as shocked by this news as Matt was. He also assumed he held an equal share as Mr. Huggles and Napoleon.
"So... How much more do I have?" Matt asked, kind of not wanting to know the answer.
"Well, I guess in theroy all of it."
"Okay, the cat's full of it!" Matt was just about to leave, Napoleon couldn't be right about any of that. "That makes no sense, if I have all of it then how the hell do you guys transform!?"
"Oh and Will holds the power of a whole Heart and this blond can still sprout a tree and no one bats an eye!" They were the ones in a hurry. Do I have to spell everything out for these guys?! Napoleon huffed to himself.
"He's got a point there." Cornelia brushed her hair back.
"See, she gets it." Matt just looked more confused which made Napoleon sigh loudly. "Right, I'll break it down for you" And I'll use small words. "None of us OWN the Heart of Earth per se, that power is with Lillian alone, only she can lend her power, only she can give it away and only she can take it back. She intrusted the three of us to use that power to protect her and her kingdom. While me and rat can tap into the heart of earth to transform into stronger beings we cannot use the heart for little more than a weak glamour without you Matt, and even then it can take a lot of concentration. You on the other hand, can tap into all of her power if you wanted to. She thought it was a big game, but she knew one had to be above the others, you were her best bet at the time I guess." Napoleon had to get one jab in right at the end. But what he just said did make sense, Matt was a lot stronger than the other two. He could fly, shoot eye beams and since he became Regent of Earth he had never lost a fight to Celeb.
Matt shook his head. "Okay... So what do I do?" This new infomation was a lot to take in, but it had to wait. Matt had bigger things to think about right now.
_xXx_
What the hell do you mean that is'nt Tony! Taranee had conferenced the others in.
I know this soinds crazy but... I think that is a flaud aulta-mear. It's just like the Yan Lin 2.0 in there, I can't get in, it hurts, only it's worse. Irma tried her best to explain, but even she didn't understand most of it.
Who cares, he still did all thay stuff to Will! Hay Lin just wanted all this to be over. The plan was ment to be easy.
Who would make a aulta-mear out of Tony? And they are ment to be copys of the origanal. Same thoughts, same memorys. Not really a good sign for the real Tony. Taranee peered over her hiding spot to check if 'Tony' was still there.
That's not all, I think he is under the same spell Matt and Huggles were under when there were all mind dead for Narrissa. Irma closed her eyes, and remebered when she had tried to get into Shagon's mind and was thrown out.
What?! Both Hay Lin and Taranee practically screamed mentaly. Irma nearly shushed them.
We need to fill Cornelia in on this. Hopfully they are still on this planet.
