Ending 2: A Second Chance
Last time, in Chapter 5...
A month later, Orube had gone back to Heatherfield to her job as a reporter, but was ready if any of her friends needed her As for Kandrakar, a new Council of the Known Worlds was formed with Yan Lin still as the Oracle. One of the first things she did was lock Jagas in a cell in the Tower of Mist. Next she made separate statues of Elyon, Caleb, Matt. Next she made a statue of W.I.T.C.H. standing together. Around her neck was the Heart of Kandrakar. She looked down at it with a happy yet sad smile as she remembers the day Will gave it back to her.
Flashback, three weeks ago...
On the world of Kandrakar, in the Fortress of Infinite, new members of the Council of the Known Worlds are being pick by Yan Lin's newest members of the Council of Kandrakar. Yan Lin on the other hand is having an important meeting with two special quest.
"So have you made your decision?", Yan Lin asked Angelo.
"Well, it's quite a honor, Ms. Lin.", Angelo said. "But, I can't be your Earth Guardian. I've decided to look for anymore Guardian's Descendants on Earth. I think that's what I'm meant to do."
"I figured you'd say that.", Yan Lin said with a smile as she handed Angelo a gold headband with five different colored gems on it.
The middle gem was white, while the one it's left was blue and the one next to that one was green. On the right of the white gem was a red gem and next to that one was a violet gem.
"During my days as a Guardian, there was a man who used this headband to look for Guardian's Descendants on many of the Known Worlds.", Yan Lin explained. "He was going to try and harness their powers for his own evil purposes. Once we defeated him, we brought this back to Kandrakar."
"It was then that I said it would have a better use one day."
Everyone turned to see a bald man dressed in brown clothing. He was Himerish, the last Oracle before Yan Lin took over.
"Himerish, glad you could came.", Yan Lin said as she hugged her friend.
"How could I turn down an invite from a good friend?", Himerish said with a smile before turning towards Will. "And it's good to see you back to your old self, Will."
"Thank you, Ora... I mean Himerish.", Will said surprised to see him here.
"And I take it you are Kadma's grandson.", Himerish said as he extended his had out to Angelo. "I hope Kadma still doesn't hold a grudge."
"Nah.", Angelo said as he shook Himerish's hand. "The way she sees it, if she wasn't... you know... banished from Kandrakar, then I wouldn't be here. But... you knew that. Didn't you?"
"Most things are meant to happen for a reason.", Himerish said with a smile. "Kadma and Joseph got married, and have children who had children of their own. Then you meet young Will and become great friends. As you got older, Kadma tells you about the Guardians. Just when you developed your powers of a Guardian's Descendant."
"Which allow me to help Will beat Jagas.", Angelo said.
"Freaky, huh?", Will questioned with a grin.
"Yeah.", Angelo said with a grin. "So, seeing as I'm not going to be your new Earth Guardian, you'll be looking for four new Guardians instead of three."
"Make that five.", Will said as she pulled out the Heart of Kandrakar. "Oracle Yan Lin. I, Wilhelmina Vandom, return the Heart of Kandrakar back to the Oracle of Kandrakar."
"Will?", Yan Lin questioned as Will placed the Heart around her neck.
"I'm sorry, Yan Lin.", Will said with a small smile. "But, it just wouldn't be the same without the girls fighting by my side. W.I.T.C.H.'s time as Guardians is over. It's time for a new set of Guardians to be chosen."
"Part of me thought this would happen.", Yan Lin said as she grabbed Will's hands gently. "I just wish it wouldn't happen."
"If I may ask.", Himerish said to Will and Angelo. "If you could have one wish what would it be?"
"To be honest, I wish I could go back and stop this from happening.", Will said.
"Same for me.", Angelo said. "Maybe if I knew back then about Will being a Guardian, and she knew about me being a Guardian's Descendant, then I might of been able to help talk her into taking up Yan Lin on her offer to help make up some battle plans until she fully healed. But that's just wishful thinking."
"Perhaps.", Himerish said. "But wishing can give one hope for a better tomorrow."
"I guess you're right.", Angelo said.
Will then saw the happy yet sad smile on Yan Lin's face. Will then gave her a loving hug knowing that it may be a long time before she sees her again.
"Thank you for all you've done for me.", Will said. "I'm going to miss you, Yan Lin."
"And I you, child.", Yan Lin said. "Both of you."
"If you want to pay us a visit, you know where to find us.", Angelo said as he gave Yan Lin a hug. "It's been fun, Yan Lin."
"Yes it has.", Yan Lin said as she opened a fold to Earth. "Both of you be careful."
"We will.", Angelo and Will said before going through the fold.
As the fold closed, Himerish shot a beam of light into the fold. Before Angelo and Will knew it, the beam hit them knocking them out as they traveled through the fold.
"What did you just do?", Yan Lin asked Himerish.
"I just used some of the last of my power from being Oracle to give us a second chance.", Himerish answered. "Soon the clock will turn back to the day Will took the potion. But this time, She along with Angelo, you and I shall still have the memories of all that has happened."
"Thank you, old friend.", Yan Lin said with a smile.
"You are most welcome, Yan Lin.", Himerish said with a smile as a wave of light came over all of Kandrakar.
"Whoa!", Will shouted as she woke up. "What the heck?"
Will looked around to see that she was in her old bedroom in Heatherfield.
"What the...?", Will began to question. "Okay, Will think! The last think you remember was you giving the Heart back to Yan Lin and going through the fold back to Earth with Angelo. But then something hit us!"
Will quickly jumped out of her bed and looked in her mirror. She was shocked to see that she was fourteen again! She also saw that she was dressed in her normal teen clothes. She felt her face and then pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
"Ouch!", Will yelp as she felt the pain from the pinch. "This is real! It's all real!"
"Will! Time to wake up!", came her mother's voice.
"Mom?", Will questioned as she ran out of her room and into the living room of her home.
Once in the living room she saw her mom sitting down watching TV with her infant brother, William, lying on the couch next to her.
"I'm glad you're up.", Susan said with a smile. "I know you wanted me to wake you up so you can meet up with the girls this afternoon. But I thought I was going to have to shake you awake."
Will then walked up to her mom, dropped to her knees and hugged her mother.
"Will?", Susan questioned as Will hugged her. "Is something wrong?"
"No.", Will said happily as she continued to hug her mom. "Everything is fine. Everything is absolutely fine! I love you mom."
"I love you too Will.", Susan said as Will got to her feet.
William then began to whimper a little.
"I haven't fogotten about you, little guy!", Will said as she picked up her brother and kissed him on his forehead. "I love you too, William!"
William then let out a happy laugh as Will set William back down on the couch. Just then Dean came walking into the living room. Will waisted no time running up to him and hugging him.
"I love you, dad!", Will said.
"I... I love you too, Will.", Dean said as he returned the hug.
"Oh. man!", Will said as she grabbed her jacket. "I almost forgot! I have to go meet up with the girls!"
Will then headed for the door and put her shoes on.
"See you guys later!", Will said as she left the house.
"Did she just call me "dad"?", Dean asked as he sat next to his wife.
"I believe so.", Susan said before giving her husband a kiss.
Once in the park, Will spotted the girls and Matt in the park waiting for her. The first thing she did was give each of the girls a hug, which kind of worried them a bit. She then gave Matt a kiss which he returned with no problems.
"Are you okay Will?", Irma asked.
"You seem really happy.", Taranee said.
"And we mean REALLY happy.", Cornelia said.
"I think it's nice that she feels this way.", Hay Lin said.
"I'm okay guys!", Will said with a happy smile. "I'm just glad to see you all. I got so much to tell you!"
"What do you mean?", Matt asked.
"Well..."
"Will!"
Will turned to see Angelo running towards them. Will waisted no time running towards him. When they got close to each other they gave each other a hug.
"I'm so glad to see you!", Will said as they hugged.
"Me too!", Angelo said as the hug continued. "Whatever you do, don't drink that potion, Will!"
"I won't.", Will said as they pulled apart. "Wait! How do you know..."
"I don't know if it was all a dream or we went back in time.", Angelo said. "But I remember everything!"
"Me too!", Will said.
"Even me being a..."
"Yes!", Will said with a smile
"What do you guys remember?", Irma asked as they all came walking towards them.
Angelo then walked up to Taranee. A smile grew on Will's face as she knew what was going to happen.
"Taranee.", Angelo said as he looked Taranee in her eyes. "There's something I wanted to tell you for a long time."
"What is it?", Taranee asked.
"Well... um... You see... the truth is that I... Ah the heck with it!"
Angelo then grabbed Taranee by her arms and kissed her surprising everyone but Will who had a big smile on her face.
"Whao!", Cornelia said.
"Didn't se that coming.", Irma said.
"Aaaaaaaaaaw!", Hay Lin said happily.
"You knew about this, didn't you?", Matt asked Will with a grin.
"Maybe.", Will said with a smile.
Once the kiss ended, Taranee slowly opened her eyes to see Angelo looking at her.
"I didn't mean to do that, Taranee!", Angelo said. "I mean I did! But not like that! "I was going to tell you how I felt about you and all. And then I was going to..."
Angelo was cut off as Taranee wrapped her arms around Angelo and kissed him! Angelo waisted no time returning the kiss! Once they pulled apart from each other, they looked at each other smiling.
"Wow.", they both said at the same time holding each other smiling.
"Um... not to break this up.", Will said getting everybodies attention. "But me and Angelo have something important to tell you."
"You do?", Cornelia asked.
"Yeah, we do.", Angelo said as he and Taranee released each other.
"But first we need to get Elyon and Caleb and then go to Kandrakar.", Will said.
"Will!", Taranee said.
"Relax, Taranee. I know everything.", Angelo said getting surprised looks from everybody.
"We'll explain everything once we get Elyon and Caleb and head to Kandrakar.", Will said as they headed to the book shop. "Now let's go."
Everyone then headed toward to book shop where the Guardians HQ was. The girls and Matt still didn't know what to think of all this, but figured everything would make sense soon.
Moment later in Kandrakar...
"And that's the whole story.", Will said as she and Angelo finished telling them what they knew.
"So, because this Jagas guy did a mind whammy on Will, making her drink some whacked out potion, she goes a betrays us and ends up getting use killed!", Irma questioned.
"We don't know if it was a ll a vision or what.", Angelo said. "But it felt so real that we had to tell you all."
"Whoa!", Elyon said. "I don't know what to think."
"So, you have the same powers as me?", Cornelia questioned with a raised eyebrow.
Angelo then pointed at a rock and made it float in the air surprising everybody.
"Yep.", Angelo said as he set the rock back down.
"Whether it was a dream or not, we shouldn't take this lightly.", Yan Lin said. "I say we should be prepared just in case."
"Grandma's right!", Hay Lin said. "I don't want to die just yet!"
"I don't think any of us wants to die yet, Hay Lin.", Taranee said.
Just then Angelo and Will sensed a familiar energy/
"He's here!", they said facing each other.
Will and Angelo took off towards the spot where it all began. The others were about to follow, when Yan Lin stopped them.
"This is there fight.", Yan Lin said. "They beat him once, they can do it again."
"I hope your right, Ms. Lin.", Matt said as they sat their and waited for Will and Angelo to return.
"This is the place!", Will said as she and Angelo stood in the spot where she first met Jagas. "Hurry and hide!"
"Done!", Angelo said as he jumped up into a tree.
Once Angelo was in the tree Will, like before, heard a sound coming from the bushes. She turned around and focused on the noise, she immediately knew who there was there and this time she was ready for Jagas.
"Who's there? Show yourself!", Will commanded, waiting impatiently.
Only few moments later, someone showed up from behind a tree. It was a man, nothing suspicious about the way he looked, but he had a strange aura. An aura Will and Angelo, who was watching from his spot in the tree, knew all to well.
"Do you always talk to yourself?", said the mysterious man, grinning widely.
"Who are you?", Will asked, keeping a fixed look on him, staying focused and careful.
"I'm a guy whose name isn't important. So, you want to fight in the war but you can't right?"
The man was acting casual, but Will was no fool. Not this time!
"I said who are you?", Will questioned trying to keep her cool and not attack him right then and there.
The man chuckled slightly, amusing himself on Will's suspense, and then answered.
"Just call me sir, or lord."
"Why should I call YOU sir?" Will yelled angrily.
'Keep your cool, Will.', Angelo thought to himself. 'Just wait a little bit longer.'
"Back to the main point. What if I tell you that I have something that'll make you able to fight and win?"
At this, Will just raised an eyebrow just like she did before, knowing what was going to happen next. The man smiled then took out something from his coat. It was a glass bottle with some kind of a liquid inside. Seeing this made Will shiver a little knowing what it did t her last time. Thankfully Jagas didn't see this.
"This is a magical drink, a potion you can call. That drink will make you stronger then you ever were and ever will be! No side effects!"
'Liar!', Will and Angelo both thought.
"Take it and drink it all, and the next moment, you'll find yourself beating the crap out of your enemies!"
"Oh yeah? What if you're lying?", Will questioned, knowing he was lying through his teeth.
"You'll never know if you never try.", Jagas said sounding confident.
"Oh I know all to well... Jagas of Draknor!", Will said as she stood there glaring at Jagas.
"How do you...", Jagas questioned as Angelo jumped down from his spot in thr tree.
"We know everything about you, Jagas!", Angelo said as he made hands of stone come up and grab Jagas, pinning him down.
"What is the meaning of this?", Jagas questioned as he tried to break free.
"This, Jagas is you being defeated.", Will said as she walked up to Jagas. "And seeing as you're the leader of the enemy forces..."
"Taking them down just may go a bit easier without you leading them.", Angelo said.
Will then reached down and picked up the bottle of potion. She then walked up closer to Jagas and pulled back his hood to show his face. Will then opened the bottle top.
"Now I wonder what'll happen if I were to make you drink this.", Will said calmly as she waved the bottle over Jagas.
"No!", Jagas said with pleading eyes as he followed the waving bottle. "Please don't!"
"So, there are side affects.", Will said as she grabbed Jagas's hair and tilted his head back. "Let's see what happens!"
"NO!", Jagas cried. "I beg you Guardian! Please don't"
"No.", Will said as she released her hold on Jagas's hair. "You're not worth it."
Will then dumped the potion onto the ground, never to be used again.
"You okay?", Angelo asked as he walked up to Will.
"Yeah.", Will said as she turned to face Angelo. "Just a bit shaken up."
"Well, you did face Jagas again.", Angelo said. "Only this time you beat him. And without transforming."
"With some help.", Will said as hugged Angelo. "Thanks for being here."
"Anytime, Will.", Angelo said as he returned the hug. "That's what friends are for."
"Now to take care of Jagas.", Will said as she and Angelo turned to face Jagas.
"I'll take it from here.", Yan Lin said as she walked up towards them.
Yan Lin then waved her hand over Jagas teleporting him in a cell in the Tower of Mist.
"Looks like you two changed things for the better.", Yan Lin said a she wink at Will and Angelo.
"You remember too!", Will whispered.
"Sshh.", Yan Lin whispered. "Me and Himerish both know."
"You crafty old woman you.", Angelo said with a smirk. "So it was all real?"
"Not sure.", Yan Lin said. "Maybe the four of us were meant to see it, so we could prevent it."
"Maybe.", Will said. "But now, we have an advantage in this war."
"We do?", Cornelia questioned.
"Yep.", Angelo said. "Jagas is in the Tower of Mist."
"Okay, when did that happen?", Irma asked.
"Just a minute ago.", Will said.
"So, what do we do now?", Caleb questioned. "Just because Jagas is locked up, doesn't mean his army will stop fighting."
"We fight Jagas's forces.", Yan Lin said. "Like Angelo said earlier, taking them down just may go a bit easier without Jagas leading them."
"Let's do it!", Hay Lin said as they headed back inside the Fortress of Infinite.
"So, Will?", Irma said getting Will's attention. "How did it feel when the five of us became one?"
"I was wondering the same thing when the four of use became one.", Matt said to Angelo.
Will and Angelo looked at each other and smiled.
"It was like all of our knowledge was one.", Angelo said. "Which made fighting Jagas a bit easier."
"Yeah.", Will said as she grabbed Matt's hand. "It felt a bit weird at first, but we soon were in complete body and mind."
"But to be honest, I don't know if it was a dream or what.", Angelo said. "But I did learn that you shouldn't put off what you can do today."
Angelo then grabbed Taranee's hand making her blush a little. Taranee then intertwined her fingers with Angelo's as they walked through the fortress.
"This is just to weird.", Cornelia said. "I mean okay, Angelo knows about us and all, because of some dream he and Will had about a really messed up future and all. But to find out he's some kind of Guardian's Descendant that has the same powers as one of the old Guardians! And to find out there's more of them not only on Earth, but on the other Known Worlds is just to much!"
"True but think of it like the magic school we run.", Hay Lin said.
"Next thing you know, Angelo will become a teacher to the Guardian's Descendants that are found.", Irma joked.
"You know, that sound like a good idea.", Yan Lin said. "If you think about it, the Guardian's Descendants we find may not know how to use their powers fully."
"And seeing as Angelo knows all about their powers, he can help teach them!", Will figured.
"Whoa!", Angelo said. "Wait a second!"
"And it should be easy to add another room to the school.", Taranee said.
"Not you too, Taranee!", Angelo said.
"Of course it is.", Yan Lin said with a smile. "I'll have Kandor work on it right away."
"There's no way out of this.", Angelo said to Matt. "Is there?"
"Sorry, man.", Matt said. "But you're stuck now."
"Then it's settled!", Will said. "Angelo will teach the Guardian's Descendants how to use their powers."
"Oh joy.", Angelo said plainly as he spun his fingers around. "I can't wait."
"It'll be fun!", Hay Lin said happily.
"But first, we finish this war.", Will said. "And I have a few idea on what to do."
Three months later the war was over! Thanks to Will working with the other generals, while her body fully healed, and with Angelo joining in on the fighting, Jagas's forces were being beaten swiftly. And to during the final battle, Will was fully healed and fighting along side her friends winning the war! All of Jagas's forces were sent back to Draknor free of Jagas's control. And after a big victory party on Kandrakar, everyone went back to their home worlds to do what they were meant to do.
A month later, on Earth, inside the magic bus...
"Wow!", Angelo said as he looked around the bus. "So, the panels above are portals that lead to the different classes."
"Sure are.", Kandor replied. "Yours is the one with all five element symbols on it. The room is based on what you imagine it would be."
"I got to see this.", Irma said.
"Let's go then.", Angelo said as he jumped up through the panel followed by the others.
Once they all were through, they saw that they were in a large battle stadium with bleachers.
"Wow!", Tarane said. "You have some kind of imagination."
"Tell me about it.", Angelo said.
Between the bleachers and the battle area was a ring of water that was at least ten feet deep. except for part of the ring the had a path that led to a doorway leading out of the area and back to the bus. Along the walls were torches and target signs. The ground was solid yet soft enough to be used by someone with Angelo's powers. Also stacked in certain spotted were bricks and stones to be used as well as hollow metal balls to be used as moving targets.
"So, what do you think?", Kandor asked.
"That I have one heck of an imagination!", Angelo said. "I know that I wanted to train the Guardian's Descendants we found the way I was, but this is awesome!"
"This is sick, dude!", Matt said as everybody looked around the place.
"Glad you like it.", Kandor said. "Cause we already found ten Guardian's Descendants."
"And I take it, my Uncle John is going to meet them.", Angelo figured.
"You'd be right.", Kandor said. "He insisted on doing it."
"The more things change, the more they stay the same, huh Will.", Angelo said to his friend.
"Pretty much.", Will said as they exited the area and landed back in the bus.
"I'm up for something to eat.", Irma said. "How about some burgers?"
"I could go for a good burger.", Angelo said as he and Taranee held hands.
With everybody in agreement every one headed to the get some burgers. Will and Angelo knew that things were going to be different, but with their friends and loved ones by their side, they was going to be alright.
