~o~O~o~
The episode begins showing it was raining and storming at the castle and within it Diamond is doing different chores from using her water element to wash all the floors in the castle, then the wind element to carefully dust off and then exploring awhile.
While my parents are on their 25th anniversary in Hawaii for a few weeks I decided to stay at Eccentro's place. Though the place is pretty big I keep myself occupied by helping out more such as mopping, dusting, even doing laundry. But on the plus side my life as a guardian has been out of this world-So far I have awakened four elements and even when doing chores I have a chance to test them out.
DIamond is carrying a stack of clothes upstairs to Eccentro's room. "Eccentro I brought you-"
She opens the door and her eyes widen, seeing him in a pink towel and then turns around hiding a small nosebleed and blushing very embarassed and closed door a bit to not see.
"I-iiIAiii-I-i'm sorry! I didn't mean to walk in-i didn't know you were just finished taking a shower or so...please forgive me..."
Eccentro quickly runs back into the bathroom and after few seconds, reemerges wearing the clothes he normally does. He is blushing badly. "I-it's okay. Just try knocking next time the door is closed alright?"
"Uhh sure." She is rubbing the back of her head while hiding a blush. "Sorry again..."
I guess I'm still not used to being around a guy before or ever stayed over at another person's place than Rockna's house that one time with that sleepover back when we were kids. But still since the day I became a part of the team I feel like I became a part of this family of oddballs-well in a way we are like family.
Batch is throwing punches at Diamond in a training room and she dodges and throws a few at Batch.
Batch can be a tomboy and short-tempered sometimes, but she has her moments and she's pretty cool too. She even agreed to show me a few pointers on how to defend myself. Though...
Batch gets Diamond in a pretzel move and Diamond grits her teeth banging her fist down on ground as a way of giving up.
She can get pretty rough on those wrestling moves. But I think of her as a big sister along with Gluko.
In the kitchen Diamond was helping Gluko cook and she takes a sip of the soup she's making and her skin turns pale, but smiles at Gluko and she smiles.
Though her cooking still has ways to go she's easy to get along with. I mean she's always happy-go-lucky without a care in the world and she always has a gentle smile on her face. As for Tanaka...well his training sessions maybe crazy and sometimes dangerous. He's a person I come to sometimes for advice or a word of wisdom if I had something on my mind so I call him grandpa or Old Geezer. But I still find his stories about the old days especially about the 12th century fascinating especially about knights.
Diamond is listening closely to Tanaka's stories. Later in the library, Diamond was busy translating some pages of the book of the guardians.
But after a busy day I like to go to the library in the castle. A good place of information, good folklore and mythology books and a place to translate more of the book of the guardians.
Diamond mutters, "From the corners of Monworld there formed six realms...within those realms came six Guardians who were said to be...the Protectors of the Six Realms known as the Titans of Monworld. Thousands of years ago there was only darkness until a flicker of light shined through and thus the world was made...from the light came six beings in the form of creatures...the first of them...was the Titan of Light...So-"...that's strange...the words here are a little blurry..."
She thinks "So Monworld was created thousands of years ago by a Great Light and from it came six creatures-The Titans of Monworld...the Original Guardians...but I wonder who the first TItan was...The Titan of Light.."
Suddenly her stomach growls with squiggly lines by it and she blushes as she closes book. "Hahaha I've been translating for almost three hours."
She is looking at clock and gets up and puts book in her handbag. "Ah! That's right! Dinner!" She rushes off. "I almost forgot!"
In the kitchen Diamond arrives, but then looks and sees a familiar face who was cooking.
Diamond says, "Excuse me I have to-"
"Don't worry." Emerald smiles. "I got it under control." She turns around.
"E-E-E-E-EEMERALD!" Diamond has an anime shock face. "What are you doing in the castle?"
Emerald says, "Oh well you see I've been here for quite awhile. The last time you were in the Earth Realm I somehow stowed away in your ship and I've been living here for a few weeks. Grandpa Tanaka said I was free to come or stay here if I agreed to help out around and I decided to become the chef."
Diamond says, "So you're the one who made those delicious meals."
Emerald nods. "Yeah. And I couldn't quite help but see the rose garden. Now I see why you call Eccentro your Rose Prince." She winks.
Diamond is blushing, embarassed. "Uh...uh...well anyway let me help ya out, especially with dessert."
~o~O~o~
In the dining room it shows bowls of salad and a lovely stew that was made especially parfeit for dessert.
Emerald says, "I call this meal "Nature's Wonder"."
"Bon Appetite." Diamond smiles.
Batch says, "Ha ha! It's so great that the food's been so delicious ever since we got Emerald cooking around here!" She grabs a fork and begins to eat.
Tanaka says, "I most certainly agree. It's about time you brought home a monster who was actually useful."
Gluco says, "What's wrong with Impy?"
Impy leaps up onto Gluco's shoulder.
Impy says, "Nothing wrong with Impy."
Gluco says, "I knew it!" She gives Impy a strawberry from the parfait.
Eccentro says, "Yes, I must admit that this food is quite divine."
Diamond thinks, "Oh and my food isn't divine..."
She looks at Impy and her eyes sparkle. "He's...so...He's...so..."
It shows a chibi version of Diamond holding Impy.
Diamond shouts, "He's so adorable!" She is smiling and looks at Impy. "An actual Forest Imp named Impy. He's the most cutest monster I've ever seen."
The Ojama Brothers say, "And were not..." Anime tears are going down their faces.
Emerald is giggling. "I remember back in the village I had an Impy like this one, but his tail was more star-shaped and I called her Star because of her tail."
Diamond thinks, "I wonder if I'll have a cute monster like Gluko's...I mean the Ojama Brothers are okay...but a monster like a Winged Kuriboh would be cute...or a tiny little fairy...perhaps a cute little baby dragon...oohh it'll be so adorable!"
~o~O~o~
Meanwhile in the Earth Realm Kahimi was by the big tree as she sung her beautiful melody that evening to the plants and flowers around her, but then footsteps are heard as she turned seeing Helia and her goons.
"Hello Kahimi." Helia is grinning. "It's an honor to finally meet you. I hope you don't mind, but were here to kidnap you..."
Kahimi says, "But…why? What have I done to you?"
Helia says, "Ooh nothing. It's nothing personal, dear...it's just what your friends did to me...and my boys. Your friends with the Mon Colle Knights, am I right? And how they always saved their friends when their in danger..."
She is approaching her. "Hehhehe well, that's what I intend to do...you heard of Demon Claw, right? I'm part of the organization with my boys and were here to kidnap you and use you as bait to lure out the MON COLLE KNIGHTS AND THAT GUARDIAN who have defeated me time and time again!"
Smasher yells, "YEAH! You're coming with us!"
Basher yells, "Whether you LIKE IT OR NOT!"
Kahimi stands, ready to fight. "I'm not going to let you! I'm not just some push over anymore!"
Helia steps forward, and Kahimi, intimidated, falters back a step. Helia smiles.
Helia says, "Me either... "He eyes glow yellow.
Soon it shows the sky and a scream is heard.
~o~O~o~
Back at the castle in the middle of the night the alarm goes off.
"AhhhH!" Diamond wakes up and falls out of her bed. "OW!"
She gets up and rubs head. "Come on! A monster alert during the middle of the night?"
She rushes to her closet and grabs her outfit and then her mask and gets dressed fast and rushes out.
The Ojama Brothers call, "Wait up Diamond!"
Emerald says, "My, a monster alert in the middle of the night..yawnn."
She gets dressed as she rubs her eyes. "And I was having such a pleasant dream."
Diamond meets up with Eccentro, Batch and Gluco on their way to the Flying Lion.
Batch yawns. "Man, we don't get Monster Alerts in the middle of the night very often, but when we do it's almost always at the worst possible times…"
Eccentro says, "You said it…"
Impy says, "Late night fun time!"
~o~O~o~
Once aboard the Flying Lion…
Eccentro says, "So Batch, where is it where going this time?"
Batch says, "The Earth Realm, Boss."
Impy says, "Earth Realm yay!"
The Flying Lion passes out of the portal and the group soon finds themselves flying over the Earth Realm.
Emerald says, "Hmm..." She is sensing something as she closes her eyes and listens.
Diamond says, "I never heard of monster signals at night time. I mean it wasn't in the fine print. Huh?" She looks at Emerald. "What's wrong, Emerald?"
Emerald says, "I hear them...the plants...the animals...they're all scared of something...something's terribly wrong."
Diamond says, "Scared of something, like what?"
Suddenly a portal opens up in front of them and Diamond looks and eyes widen seeing the Utopian Eagle.
DIamond calls, "BATCH! LOOK OUT FOR that flying eagle!"
Emerald says, "Oh dear!"
Aboard the Eutopian Eagle.
Rockna calls, "Mondo! Look out!"
Hiragi shouts, "Mondo pull up!"
The Flying Lion and Eutopian Eagle collide and both come crashing down to the ground. Both parties emerge from the crash site, luckily unscathed.
Eccentro asks, "What's the matter with you?! You get your flying license from a cereal box?!"
Mondo says, "Hey! It's not my fault you guys decided to fly right in our way!"
Emerald says, "Please, the important thing is that both parties are alright and that none of us are hurt."
Diamond says, "Yeah. You know I'll never know how those portal things open. I mean, it just opens so randomly you never know who'll run into."
Emerald is placing a hand on a tree and listens and nods. "This tree is telling me that something is here in the woods terrifying the plants and creatures alike here."
Diamond says, "But what could frighten ever the creatures and plants? But how can you tell by putting your hand on a tree?"
Emerald says, "As I said before as a Guardian of Earth I can understand what the animals and even the plant life is telling me...it's like a Psychic thing with plants and creatures." She smiles.
Ojama Yellow says, "Ever conversed with a slug and snail which one was the fastest?"
A strange vine is heading towards Rockna's leg.
Rockna says, "Well, I guess the only thing we can do now is-AHHHHH!"
The vine wraps around Rockna's leg, lifting her into the air over the others.
Mondo calls, "Rockna! Rockna don't worry I'll get you down! WOAH!"
Another vine wraps around Mondo, lifting him into the air as well. Soon not only Mondo and Rockna, but Hiragi, Eccentro, Batch and Gluco are soon all ensnared in the hostile vines. Only Diamond and Emerald were left now, running from vines that were chasing them as well.
Diamond is running. "WHAT THE HECK Kinda monster uses vines!"
Emerald shouts, "Just hold on I'll get us out of this!" She concentrates. "Boulder Spikes!"
Soon the ground quakes and soon boulders spike out and they leap onto them and soon as they reach the top they get a view of the landscape and soon see something in the shadows that appear and it was a three-headed Venus Fly-Trap.
A card appears.
Emerald says, "OH DEAR! It's a Snappy The Three-Headed Venus Flytrap! It's a powerful monster that traps its victims in vines and then pulls them in to eat them!"
Diamond says, "We can't let that overgrown weed eat them! Emerald!"
"Right!" Emerald raises her right hand with her ring on it. "Earth Spirit Awaken!"
Suddenly Emerald begins to glow and soon vines and flowers wrap around her and soon her outfit transforms into a sorceress type one and soon a staff appears and she grabs it and twirls it.
Emerald shouts, "GUARDIAN OF Earth! Emerald!"
Diamond says, "Alright ... my turn. Light Soul AWAKEN!"
A quick transformation of Diamond turning into her Light Style level 2 form.
Diamond calls, "Guardian of Light! Rosella!"
Diamond and Emerald see the vines coming and Diamond using her sword slashes them out of the way.
"HIYA!" Diamond is slashing through the vines. "Don't worry guys we'll save you!"
Emerald is running with Diamond.
Helia says, "Sorry "Guardian of Light", but you and your little flower friend won't do a thing."
Suddenly from the ground a pair of arms come out and grab them and it was Smasher and Basher who were under a fake ground.
Smasher shouts, "Heheheh! Gotcha!"
Basher shouts,"Yeah gotcha!"
Diamond is struggling.
Helia flies down. "Hhaahhahh! You all fell into my devious trap! Hahhaha, now then, I heard that the knights will do anything for a friend and especially a guardian as well. Well, that got me to thinking what if I kidnapped someone dearest to them and use them as bait to lure them right into my brilliant trap and soon to be Plant food! But me!"
Diamond called, "HELIA!"
Helia says, "Hahahhaha! That's right you little brat."
Emerald shouts, "Just who is it that you stole from this realm!"
Helia says, "Why, take a good look guardian of Earth and you too, knights. You know her quite well."
Above the Venus Flytrap was Kahimi trapped in vines tightly.
Emerald says, "GASP! Kahimi!"
Mondo calls, "KAHIMI!"
Kahimi calls, "Mondo! Rockna! Help me!"
Mondo says, "Don't worry Kahimi! We'll save you! We promise!"
Helia says, "Hehehhe! How can you save her if your all tied up...ooooh this is going to be one good show seeing you all get eaten...now then...who should be the first to be plant food...OOOOOHh I know..THen points at Diamond THE ONE WHO FIRST GOT ON MY NERVES! THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL! Ever since the day our paths crossed you've always been a thorn on my side Rosella! And now you're gonna be plucked off like a bird getting its feathers plucked! Snappy! GRAB THE GIRL! She is your first snack!"
Emerald shouts, "ROSELLA!"
Vines head at her as Diamond looks and is scared, but suddenly within her rose-shaped purse her cards glow and the Solaria the Solar Dragon glows very bright and suddenly a light surrounds Diamond blinding Smasher and Basher who stumble away and fall down releasing emerald as the light cut through the vines that held their friends and they began to fall, but Emerald used a spell to create a giant flower to catch them all in.
Diamond is amazed as she looks seeing the light fade and her eyes widen looking up seeing Solaria the Solar Dragon.
"Gasp... " Emerald thinks, "It can't be ... that's ... the Titan of the Light! Solaria!"
Solaria : "ROARRR!"
Diamond says, "It's you again..."
A flashback shows the first time Solaria appeared and it was the time she faced Helia's Thunderbird.
Diamond mutters, "You appeared the day I became a guardian...you sensed I was in danger...you came to help us."
Helia says, "What?! It's that stupid dragon! Well, we'll just see if it's tough against Snappy! Snappy! Snare it in your vines!"
Snappy shoots out many vines at Solaria that soon wrap around her.
Diamond calls, "Solaria!"
Solaria is struggling.
Helia says, "HHAHAHA! Looks like your dragon is at the end of her ropes!"
DIamond calls, "Don't give up Solaria! Come on! If you can beat a Thunderbird you can cut down this OVERGROWN PLANT!"
A light aura emits from her.
Helia orders, "DevOur the dragon! Devour her hhahah!"
DIamond shouts, "Come on! You can do it! I know you can do it Solaria! Show this plant what you're made of!"
Suddenly Solaria glows and then it's tail glows and slices the vines off.
Diamond : "Gasp!"
Emerald says, "That was a CELESTIAL TAIL SLash battle spell!"
Diamond says, "Hhahah! Yeah! Yeah go Solaria! Now give it the old Solar FLARE!" She raises her arm out.
Solaria's mouth glows with a bright and large ball of light and fires it at Snappy.
Snappy roars and burns and soon transforms back into a card as the dark glow vanishes from it.
Emerald catches the card. "I gotcha..." She looks at it. "It's alright...nobody's gonna use you for evil ever again. Kahimi are yo-" She looks at the large flower. "Wait! Where's KAHIMI!"
Diamond looks around. "Helia and her Ogre duo are gone too! They must of took Kahimi with them the time Solaria fired the Solar Flare at that plant monster!"
Aria says, "You'd be right." Everyone looks at her as she jumps down to the ground from a tree above. "Helia is setting up an even more elaborate trap for you there. Snappy here was only phase one."
Diamond asks, "But why Kahimi?"
Emerald says, "Because...she's our friend. Helia captured one of our friends to use as bait to lure us out here...all this over getting defeated once."
Diamond says, "Once? Say three times-to four now, but listen we have to go after her...but the question is how?" She is thinking. "I mean...she could be anywhere."
Emerald says, "We'll see..." She touches the Snappy card. "Some of Helia's dark aura is still fresh on this card so by..." She places hand on tree and concentrates and in her mind she sees the scenary rush fast as it shows the mountains and Helia was heading there with the ogres who have Kahimi and soon she opens her eyes. "She's north of here at Mt. Tira!"
DIamond says, "Way to go, Emerald."
Solaria glows and turns back into a card and Diamond catches it.
Diamond says, "Hey Solaria you can rest for awhile you did well." She smiles at her card. "Thanks for saving us."
Mondo looks at Rosella and wondered about that Solaria card she has. It was the same card his friend Diamond had back home.
Mondo says, "Hey Rosella, I've been meaning to ask you. Where did you get your Solaria card?"
"Huh?" Diamond looks at Mondo. "Uhhh where I got it? Well uh..." She then remembers. "Uh! Right! To Mt. Tira!"
She is running back to the Flying Lion. "Come on guys! Kahimi's in danger!"
"Right!" Emerald is rushing after her.
Mondo says, "Urg, Rosella completely avoided my question…"
Rockna says, "Don't take it too hard, Mondo. Rosella is right after all, we have to save Kahimi! That's more important than learning about where some card came from."
Mondo says, "You're right Rockna." He smiles and then looks back towards the front. Suddenly the Eutopian Eagle tips slightly. Mondo and Rockna look over to see Aria, her Shadow Hands in the form of dragon wings and her foot pressed against the glass.
Aria says, "If you two are done chit-chatting then I suggest you follow me. Helia's got something planned, I don't know what exactly, but if you don't want to go in completely blind then I suggest you follow me."
She then flies over to the Flying Lion. "And that goes for you guys too."
Batch says, "Yeah, yeah we're coming!"
Aria pushes off the Flying Lion, and speeds forward.
~o~O~o~
Meanwhile at Mt. Tira Helia waits as she looks at a dark orb.
Smasher says, "Oooh that pretty orb, Helia."
Basher is holding the tied up Kahimi. "Yeah, what it do?"
Helia says, "Oooh why it grants a person as myself great power. Once I swallow it I'll become more stronger than ever..."
The flashback shows in the Evil realm a dark shadow is shown in the ruins of Redda's castle and in the old throne room.
"Helia, you have failed me too many times..."
Helia is bowing in respect. "Forgive me my lord...but please give me one more chance! I have a brilliant plan to defeat the Mon Colle Knights and that sniveling Guardian from disturbing our plans to get the monster items..."
"Very well Helia...and here, take this.T" He tosses her a dark orb. "This is known as Akuma's Orb. A very powerful battle item that Dr. Dread has created for it said when swallowed will make a monster more powerful than ever, especially a being as yourself. Now go and do not return until your mission is complete."
Helia says, "Thank you my lord. I shall not fail you."
The flashback ends.
Helia says, "Hehhehehehe just wait til they get here. They'll be in for a big surprise once I take my medicine." She is grinning. "Then those pesky little insects will be out of my feathers for good."
Then Helia grins seeing the two ships coming as well as Aria flying.
Helia says, "Hehehehhe! I've been waiting for you!"
Soon Aria, Emerald, Diamond and the Mon Colle knights jump down to where Helia and the two ogres are and they have Kahimi.
Diamond says, "Alright! Helia now you better give back Kahimi or things aren't gonna be pretty!"
Helia says, "Oooh they won't be." She takes out the orb. "I was expecting you to come."
Diamond says, "And what's that? You gonna have a piece of candy before you fight us?"
Helia says, "Oooh no this isn't just candy, it's known as the Akuma Orb...A powerful battle item compliments of Dr. Dread that is said to make any being stronger than 10 monsters! And I'm gonna use it so I can annihilate you BRATS!" She then tosses it into her mouth and swallows and soon begins to emit a very strong dark aura. "Hehehhhahahahha!"
Soon her feathers turn black and on the side look like a pair of eyes on her wings as her pupils turn red and soon her body changes as well as her outfit to a raven-like harpy style.
Helia says, "HAHEHHhehehahahhah! Yes! YES! I CAN FEEL IT IN MY VEINS! MY WHOLE BODY getting stronger!"
Emerald says, "She transformed!"
Diamond says, "I don't care if she turned into a Three-headed freak, she's going down!"
She charges with her sword.
Emerald calls, "Rosella WAIT!"
"Hehehhehe..." Helia raises a hand. "Dark Wing!" She lifts her wings and a powerful dark wind charges at Diamond.
"Ahh!" Diamond uses her sword to block, but gets scratched by the wave like it was like a sword and sent back a few feet.
Emerald asks, "Are you okay!?"
Diamond places a hand on her right arm. "Just a scratch, but I'm still holding my ground."
Helia looks at her claws. "My my my is that all ya got? Or are you just at lost for words at seeing my newest and sexiest form yet?"
Diamond says, "More like an Ugly Raven Hag than newest and sexy..."
Helia shriekds, "ERRR! How dare you YOU LITTLE WORM! DIE! Raven's Claws!" Her claws glowed and charges at them.
Just before Helia's attack lands, Aria steps into the line of fire. Helia's attack instead hits the Blade of the Dark Realm. Aria's eyes had become slits, obviously she was rearing for a fight.
Aria says, "Come come now, Helia. Attacking children isn't very becoming of you. And besides, have you forgotten that it was me who beat you in the Wind Realm? How 'bout we have it out? Demon versus demon?"
Helia says, "Sorry, but the girl comes first, she defeated me the day I first saw her...But I'd be happy to take you both on..." She glows and suddenly duplications of her appear. "THAT IS IF YOU ALL CAN HANDLE Taking all of me on ahahha!"
Diamond shouts, "She duplicated herself!"
Helia says, "HAHAHHAHA! Let's see you handle me now Now ATTACK!"
The Helia duplicates fly around trying to scratch at them as Aria and Emerald with the knights fight them off especially the Utopian Eagle and Flying Lion and in the chaos Diamond is trying to slash at them, but suddenly Helia grabs her by the sword and flies up.
Helia says, "Sorry but you and I need a little air!"
Diamond screams, "WOahhh!"
Helia flies up.
"Hhahaha!" Helia swings her up in the air as her sword fell.
Two duplicates grab Diamond tightly.
Diamond is struggling.
Helia says, "Now that we have gotten away from the riff-raff, let's begin with the pain." She raises her claws. "You know something kid...ever since the day we met you made my life a living nightmare! YOU AND YOUR gang of Circus clowns with those Knights have foiled every one of my plans not to mention that Half-breed! And now I'm gonna get it all back by taking you out..."
DIamond is struggling and thinks, "It's no use...I can't fight in the air...and I can't switch use any spells."
"Hehhee..." Helia flies to her and places hand on her face. "You know something...I've always wondered why you wear that silly little mask on your face. What are you hiding huh? A pimple or perhaps what you really look like. Let's just find out!" She raises her claw.
Diamond : "Gasp!"
Helia screams, "WHEN I CUT THROUGH YOUR FACE!" She charges with her claw down.
Diamond gets one hand free and was able to block the claw from slicing her face, but she felt a painful feeling in her back as one of Helia's duplicate struck a claw in her face and soon it shows her mask was falling and DIamond's eyes widen as Helia grins evily.
Helia says, "Ta ta ..."
Diamond's eyes widen and she closes her eyes and begins to fall.
Emerald looks up. "GASP! Rosella!"
DIamond is falling.
Suddenly a glove from the Flying Lion reaches out and catches her.
Ojama Yellow says, "Nice save boss!"
Helia grins. "Well my job here is done...for now. I'll leave you Mon Colle Knights to suffer this defeat."
The Mon Colle Knights, Emerald and Aria had a few scratches from fighting Helia's duplicates.
Helia says, "And I'll be taking your friend with me HAHAHAHHA!"
She begins to transform into a giant raven-like monster as Smasher and Basher climb on with Kahimi. "Bye BYE Mon Colle LOSERS! Hhahaha!"
As she flew off her duplicates follow her back into her wings and soon are out of sight.
Emerald says, "NOoo ..." She has tears in her eyes. "We...we we lost ... " She lowers her head. "Kahimi!"
Meanwhile the Flying Lion had landed and the Ojama Brothers were by Diamond's side.
Ojama Green says, "Hey boss! Come on wake up will ya..."
Ojama Yellow says, "She's hurt real bad. Look she has a big claw mark in her back like claws went through her!"
The others rush over.
Emerald calls, "Rosella! Rosella!" Then she stops and looks and sees Rosella's mask all ripped up on the ground.
Diamond is assed out with her eyes closed.
Mondo says, "It's...it's..."
Rockna says, "It's Diamond...I can't believe it's Diamond..."
Rockna turns away, saddened at not only her friend's current condition, but at the betrayal.
Aria aside says, "This isn't exactly how I saw this acting out."
Eccentro says, "Diamond...Diamond...Please Diamond wake up..."
~o~O~o~
Meanwhile in the sky ...
Helia thinks, "Now that I gotten rid of that brat...the others shall be next...including that half breed..."
To be continued
~o~O~o~
