A/N: Okay folks! Here's the deal. Whenever Angelo does his armour thing, he can form bladeds and other kind of weapons out of his hands as well as make his hands bigger. Just so you know.

Now back to the story!

Chapter 7:

The next day, everyone went to school, except for Cornelia who was resting at the Vanders' home. Her Drop, who had the knowledge she would need to get through the day, was taking Cornelia's place. Once at school, Taranee, Hay Lin, and Irma went and explained to their boyfriends Nigel, Eric, and Joel what was going on. So, if any of them were in the same class as Cornelia was in, they'd be able to help keep an eye on her. Soon Lunch rolled around. And even though it was a risk, they decided to eat outside to make some kind of plan to get Zaras.

"So has anybody come up with any ideas?", Matt asked.

"Well, I was thinking of setting up a trap of some kind for this Zaras guy.", Eric said.

"Well, we have to bait, but I don't think we should take the risk.", Taranee said as she looked towards the Drop.

"You right, Taranee.", Irma said. "It is to risky."

"Um... can I say something?", the Drop said getting everybodies attention.

"Yeah, sure.", Hay Lin said smiling. "Your opinion matters too."

"Well, I know it's risky, but I'm willing to put myself up as bait to lure Zaras out into the open.", the Drop said.

"No way!", Will said. "We can't take that chance."

"It is a bit risky.", Joel said.

"But those were my sisters he went after!", the Drop said.

"She has a point there.", Nigel said.

"I know it sounds weird to you all, but we Drops are a family that wait to be used buy you Guardians.", the Drop said.

"Really?", Will asked as she pulled out the Heart and looked at it.

"Yeah.", the Drop said.

"Didn't you guys know that?", Cassidy asked then girls.

"No.", Irma said.

"Well, we're like little sprites that live on a world where we have more of a light form.", the Drop said. "If anyone has a Heart or has the power of a Heart, they can call on us to make a Drop of themselves."

"Wow!", Hay Lin said. "Who of thought that the Drops were like that?"

"I didn't", Will said. "But why do you vanish when anyone says... Well... you know."

"Oh that?", the Drop questioned. "It's like what you would call a fail safe in case a Drop goes bad or is in danger like my sisters are in. And it's very rare for a Drop to go bad."

"That makes sense.", Taranee said. "It's used to keep the Drops safe."

"I just wish we could lure Zaras out into the open without risking your safety.", Cassidy said to the Drop.

"I wish I could make you invisable.", Hay LIn said to the Drop. "That way we could do what you want and lure Zaras out inti the opening. And then when he gets close, I'd turn you invisable."

"Maybe we can make you invisable.", Angelo said to the Drop. "Sort of."

"We can?", Joel questioned,

"Me and Eric just came up with an idea that just might work.", Angelo said.

"And we're going to need everybody on this one.", Eric said.

"So, what's the plan?", Matt asked.

"Okay.", Eric said as everyone gathered aroud. "Here's the plan."

Later that day, Zaras was on top of a building looking dow at the people of the city trying to find Cornelia's Astral Drop.

"Come on now!", Zaras said as he looked down at the city. "You have to be around here somewhere!"

Suddenly, Zaras saw the Drop walking along side Taranee, down the sidewalk.

"There you are.", Zaras said as he jumped down from the building into the alley.

Once he landed, he slowly made his way towards Taranee and the Drop as they headed down an alley. Once he turned down the alley he saw the Drop turn the corner with Taranee. He quickly ran after them, hoping to catch the Drop. Once he was at the end of the alley he found himself at the town square. He quickly spotted Taranee and the Drop.

"There you... are.", Zaras said as somethign caught his eye.

Zaras then saw another Drop that was walking by herself out of a flower shop.

"Another Drop?", Zaras questioned. "But when did the Earth Guardain make that one?"

Suddenly, Zaras saw another Drop walking across the street. He then saw another one walking by while drinking a soda.

"What's going on here?", Zaras questioned.

Zaras then saw another Drop that was looking right at him waving with a wink before stucking out her tounge and running down an alley.

"I don't know what's going on here, but this ends now!", Zaras said as he chased after the Drop.

Once down the alley Zaras saw the Drop standing there by herself. Zaras quickly ran up to the Drop and grabbed her by her shirt and lifted her up.

"Any last words?", Zaras asked with a smirk.

The Drop then looked up at Zaras and placed her hand on his.

"Going my way?", the Drop said before teletransporting herself and Zaras away.

They then appeared in Heatherfield dump, where no innocent people would get hurt.

"What the...", Zaras began to question before the Drop kicked off of him. "How are you able to teleport?"

"Why not ask my friends.", the Drop said as a few more of her stepped out from around their hiding places, surprising Zaras.

"How is this possible?", Zaras questioned as he began to step back a bit.

"Wouldn't you like to know?", a Drop asked from behind him making Zaras jump away from him.

Before Zaras knew it he was surrounded by sixteen copies of Cornelia Hale.

"It's over, Zaras!", the Drops said together.

"How?", Zaras questioned. "How were you able to make so many Drops? Even with the Heart's power this is to much!"

"Who says were Drops?", one of the Drops questioned.

"What?", Zaras questioned.

One of the Drops pulled out the Heart of Kandrakar as it shined. Suddenly, she changed into Will Vandom!

"What?", Zaras questioned as he saw the other Drops change back into Irma, Taranee, Hay Lin, Cassidy, Matt, Kor, Yan Lin, Kadma, Joe, John, Nigel, Joel, Eric, and Angelo.

The only one that didn't change was the Drop that was a Drop.

"You dare trick me?", Zaras snapped as his anger rose.

"Wasn't our idea.", Will said speaking for herself and the Guardians. "Thank our friends."

"Yeah!", Hay Lin said. "It was their idea to trick you like this."

"They figured that you'd follow one of the so-called Drops.", Taranee said.

"And here we are.", Irma said.

"Nicely done, Mr. Lyndon.", Angelo said to Eric.

"Same to you, Mr. Vanders.", Eric said to Angelo.

"You shall all pay for this!", Zaras snapped as he glared at everyone there.

"And you'll pay for what you did to our friend!", Will snapped as she held up the Heart.

Just then, the real Cornelia walked out from behind a scrapped car.

"And I accept checks!", Cornelia said as she glared at Zaras.

"Guardians, Unite!", Will said as seh held up the Heart.

Like always, five beams of light shot out of the Heart and went hit the girls. Will was covered in a ball of pink light, while Irma was in a ball of water, Taranee in a ball of fire, Cornelia in a ball of green light, and Hay Lin in a ball of air. They then flaoted in the air as they began to transform onto their Guardian forms.

Irma- "Water!"

Taranee- "Fire!"

Cornelia- "Earth!"

Hay Lin- "Air!"

Will- "Quintessence!"

Once the the light faded, the girls were in their Guardian forms. Matt and Huggles then transformed into their Regent forms and flew high into the air.

"And now for the second part of the plan!", Matt said as he Kor began to focus their powers.

They then began to make an illusion the hide all of them from prying eyes.

Okay!", Will said. "The illusion is up!"

"Good! Time to put some armour up!", Angelo said as he touched a scrapped car and was coated in metal.

"Nice trick.", Joe said to his grandson.

"Thanks.", Angelo said before looking towards Cornelia who landed lext to him. "You okay?"

"I'm okay.", Cornelia said. "But I'll feel a lot better when I get my energy back!"

"Come and get it you brats!", Zaras said as he pulled out the crystal dagger.

"Get him!", Irma said as she and Hay Lin flew at him.

The other Guardians along with Angelo flew towards Zaras while Nigel, Eric, Joel, gathered together with Yan Lin, Kadma, Joe, John, Cassidy, and the Drop as they watched the battle from a distance. Seeing the young heroes flying at him, Zaras fired a beam of energy from the dagger and into the ground.

"Let's see how you like this!", Zaras yelled as five six foot pillars of dirt shot up from the ground.

"Now what?", Matt questioned.

Suddenly, dirt fell off the pillars leaving behind dirt figures of Cornelia in her Guardian form.

"Take them, my pets!", Zaras commaned of the dirt figures.

The dirt Cornelias took a fighting stance before running at the heroes.

"Here they come!", Irma said as she shot one with a thing of water, which it dodged.

"And they're quick!", Hay Lin said as one jumped at her after dodging one of her wind blast.

The same dirt Cornelia quickly turned around and jumped at Hay Lin only to be zapped by Will with a lightning bolt.

"They may be fast, but they don't have Cornelia's powers!", Will said.

"All I needed to know", Angelo said as he made his armoured hands grow larger.

He then smashed one of the dirt Cornelias.

"Take that you ugly pile of dirt!", Angelo yelled after brushing the dirt off his hands.

"Hey!", Cornelia said.

"Sorry.", Angelo said with a smile as he made his hands smaller again. "I had to smash it."

"But did you have to call it ugly?", Cornelia questioned.

"At least I smashed it and got it over with.", Angelo said. "Look at Irma."

Cornelia look over at Irma as she was hitting a dirt Cornelia with a beam of water.

"You're melting! You're melting!", Irma teased as she kept the water flowing. "What a world! Mwa, ha! Ha! Ha!"

"Enjoying that a little to much aren't we?", Cornelia questioned Irma while tapping her foot with her hands on her hips.

"Just enjoying one of life's little pleasures.", Irma joked.

"Now that's just mean.", Taranee said as she landed next to Cornelia and Angelo.

"I've got your little pleasure, Irma!", Cornelia said as she walked towards Irma.

"Focus guys!", Will said as she landed between Irma and Cornelia.

"Yeah!", Hay Lin said as she hovered above them. "We have two more of those things to stop!"

"Then let's finish them!", Angelo said as he smashed another one of the dirt Cornelias taking it out.

"My turn!", Taranee said as she hit the last one with a fireball taking it out.

"Well, that was easy.", Angelo said.

"Was it?", Zaras questioned with a smirk.

"Hey, guy!", Joel yelled while pointing. "Look!"

Everyone looked to see five softball size balls of yellow energy floating in the air.

"What the heck are those?", Irma asked as she saw the balls of light floating in the air.

Four of the balls then sunk into the ground and made four dirt Cornelias.

"Oh that's just great!", Cornelia said as they got ready to fight again.

"Wait a second!", Taranee said. "What's that one doing?"

Everyone looked to see the fifth ball of energy float towards Cornelia. At first it just floated around her. Then it just floated in front of her. Cornelia reached out and grabbed it. She then felt the warmth from it and smiled.

"This is my energy!", Cornelia said as the ball of energy went inside of her.

"If that's the case, then the other four must have your energy too!", Taranee said as she looked at the other four dirt Cornelias.

"I'm up for a little more smash and bash.", Angelo said as he made his armoured hands bigger again. "That is if it's okay with you, baby."

"Smash away.", Cornelia said with smirk.

"I have a better idea.", Taranee said.

"What is it?", Will asked.

"First, I need Irma to draw out any and all the water from those dirt Cornelias.", Taranee said.

"One water sucking, coming up!", Irma said as she flew into the air.

Once high enough, Irma then used her powers to draw the water out of the dirt Cornelias. The dirt Cornelias began to dry up and stand in place. One tried to move but crumbled it's leg and flew a fell apart, leaving behind a ball of yellow energy.

"No!", Zaras yelled as he trying to summon the ball of energy back to him.

"Oh no you don't!", Angelo snapped as he made his right hand bigger and longer.

He then reached out and grabbed the ball of energy. Will and Taranee then took out the other three dirt Cornelias with a mix of lightning and fire. Angelo then grabbed the other three balls of energy with his expanded hand and retracted his hand.

"Think of this as an early Valentine's Day present.", Angelo said with a wink as he opened his still expaned hand holding the four energy balls.

"Aw! You shouldn't have!", Cornelia said lovingly as she brought her hands together on the side of her face and made a dreamy lovestruck face.

"Oh brother.", Irma said as Cornelia grabbed the energy balls and absorbed them into herself.

"Now that's better!", Cornelia said as she felt her strenght grow. "And now for you, Zaras!"

"That's what you think!", Zaras said as he took to the sky. "I'll be back! And next time, you won't be so lucky!"

"I know he doesn't think he's getting away!", Irma said as Zaras flew even faster.

"I say we clip his wings!", Angelo said.

"How?", Hay Lin said. "He's to far off!"

"How's your throwing arm?", Angelo asked Cornelia with a smirk.

At first Cornelia was confused by his question, but then a smirk came to her face as she soon figured out what he meant. As for Zaras, he was flying away as fast as he could.

"They'll never catch me now!", Zaras said as he got ready to open a fold to make his get away complete.

Meanwhile, Cornelia and Angelo were flying towards Zaras when Cornelia used her powers to take hold of Angelo.

"You sure about this?", Cornelia asked getting as bit worried.

"Of course.", Angelo said. "Now let her rip!"

"Okay.", Cornelia said as she used her powers to move Angelo back a bit. "Just be careful."

"Don't worry.", Angelo said before Cornelia flung him up at Zaras at great speeds. "I wiiiiiiiiiiiiiill!"

Zaras was about to go through his fold when...

"Hey, Zaras!"

"Huh?", Zaras questioned as he looked down to see Angelo flying up at him very fast. "What the...?"

"Where do you think you're going?", Angelo asked as he grabbed Zaras in a bear hug when he was close enough to him.

They then began to fall towards the ground at great speeds.

"You fool!", Zaras snapped as they got closer to the ground. "You'll kill us both!"

"Actually, I'm protected by my metal coating.", Angelo said as he turned so that he'd take the blunt of the fall. "You on the other hand..."

A crashing sound was heard as they hit the ground in the junk yard.

A/N: Well, that was an interesting battle. I wonder what happened to Angelo and Zaras. Read on to find out.

Please review.
