Chapter Nine:
For the next two weeks and a half, the AoE were getting their butts handed to them by the combined might of the Guardians, Elyon, Caleb, the Regents of Earth, and the Mystic Teenage Battle Warriors. Sometimes it was all four of the key members of the AoE, and sometimes it was just two of them, with a large group of Lurdens. Either way, they were beaten back.
And this was driving them crazy!
"This is the fifth time this has happened!", Phobos snapped as he slammed his fist down on the table where he, Nerissa, Cedric, and Miranda, in their human form sat at. "If those Battle Warriors weren't around, then we would have the Guardians under our control!"
"You know of these Battle Warriors, Nerissa.", Cedric said as he looked towards the former Guardian. "Do you know who these four may be?"
"I have a feeling of who they might be.", Nerissa said. "But I can't be to sure."
"Do they have a weakness?", Miranda asked.
"None that I know of.", Nerissa replied. "But I do know, that if push came to shove, they would do what they had to do to protect their friends."
"And that may be all we need to get rid of them.", Phobos said with a smirk. "All we need is a bit of the pure energy, we have been taking from different worlds."
"What are you planning, Phobos?", Nerissa asked with a wicked smile.
"What else?", Phobos questioned, with a wicked smile of his own. "Something evil. And if we're lucky, we'll be short one Guardian."
The next day, after school, the girls were sitting in the park, waiting for their boyfriends to show up.
"What's taking them so long?", Cornelia asked getting impatient. "The movie going to start soon!"
"Well, I know that Matt's helping his grandfather at his pet store.", Will said.
"I know that Martin is over at Mr. Vander's dojo, getting in a quick lesson.", Irma replied.
"Really?", Hay Lin questioned. "Eric too!"
"I think Nigel's their as well.", Taranee said.
"I know that Angelo's there.", Elyon replied. "So, where's Caleb, Cornelia?"
"He said something about helping Matt stock up some stuff at the pet store.", Cornelia replied.
"Hello, ladies."
The girls looked up to see the Battle Warriors sitting up in a tree, looking down at them.
"Fancy meeting you here.", Rush said as they jumped down in front of them.
"What are you doing here?", Taranee asked getting worried. "Someone might see you!"
"See what? Four guys in hoodies, talking to six cute girls?", Strength questioned. "I don't think that'll draw to much attention."
"Good point.", Taranee said.
"So, what are you doing here?", Will asked.
"Well, we figured that we should check up on you all.", Power replied. "That and I missed your sparkling personality, Sparky."
"Don't call me Sparky!", Will said.
"But, it makes you look so cute.", Power replied as he heard Cornelia laugh at the joke. "See, she thinks it's funny."
"That's because. Corny has her own nickname.", Irma teased.
"Don't call me Corny!", Cornelia said.
"Corny?", Rush questioned as he look towards Irma. "You call her Corny?"
Being proud, Irma nodded.
"That's weak!", Strenght said causing Irma's jaw to drop. "That's the best you can do?"
"It's sort of sad too.", Powers added getting a laugh out of Cornelia. "I'm willing to bet that she doesn't even pick on you like that."
"That's because she can't think of anything to use on me.", Irma countered with a cocky smile.
A smile came to Power's face, under his hood as he walked up to Cornelia. He then whispered something in her ear. After hearing what he said, she quickly put her hands over her mouth to keep from cracking up. Seeing this, Power couldn't help but smile a bit.
"Give it a go.", Power said pointing to Irma.
With a smile on her face, Cornelia cleared her throat and then...
"Irma Derma, lives in Burma!", Cornelia began quickly getting Irma's attention as her jaw dropped again. "There she lived with a cat named Germa! Irma Derma, lives in Burma! There she lived with a cat named Germa! I could do this for a while!"
The first one to start laughing was, Taranee, followed by Will and Elyon. And in the end, even Hay Lin was cracking up, which shocked Irma.
"Not funny!", Irma yelled.
"Nor is calling me Corny.", Cornelia replied. "So the next time you call me Corny, I'll say that little rhyme."
"Are they always like this?", Power asked Elyon.
"Oh yeah.", Elyon said. "But this is the first time Cornelia has gotten one over on Irma."
Irma, getting fustrated, turned away with a pout on her face. Seeing this, Flight walked over to her to see her pouting still.
"I was right.", Flight said getting a raise eyebrow from Irma. "You still look cute while pouting."
With a blush on her face, Irma walked away, but not without mentally telling Taranee to contact her mentally, when Martin shows up.
"Was it something I said?", Flight asked.
"Sort of.", Cornelia said. "You see, Irma has a boyfriend, who she really cares for."
"I see.", Flight said feeling really proud inside.
"So, we'd like it if you didn't flirt with her!", Hay Lin said sternly while poking Flight on his chest.
"A bit of a temper you got there.", Flight said. "Or maybe you want one of us to flirt with you a bit."
"No!", Hay Lin said turning away from Flight. "I have a boyfriend too!"
"That's to bad.", Rush said as he walked up to Hay Lin. "Because, I think your rather cute."
Surprised, Hay Lin turned a nice shade of pink as she went and sat next to Will.
"Oh brother.", Strenght said while shaking his head.
"So, why aren't you acting like them?", Taranee asked Strenght.
"Because I have a girlfriend.", Strenght replied. "And to flirt with another girl would be just wrong."
"That's rather noble of you.", Taranee said with a small smile.
"As fun as this is, we have to go.", Power said. "There's something important we have to do. See ya, ladies!"
The four Battle Warriors then teletransported away.
"Good riddiance.", Will said.
"Aw, they're not that bad.", Elyon said. "They may joke around a little, but they have good hearts."
"Besides, it's not like Irma doesn't do it too.", Taranee added.
"I heard that!", Irma said as she came walking up to the group.
Just then Matt and Caleb came walking up.
"Sorry, we're late.", Matt said as he walked up to Will.
"That's okay.", Will said before they kissed. "You did miss a heck of a show."
"What do you mean?", Caleb asked.
"I'll tell you later.", Cornelia said before kissing Caleb. "Right now, we have a movie to get to. As soon as the other guys get here, that is."
Just then, Nigel. Angelo, Martin, and Eric came walking up towards them, laughing and talking about something. Just then, for kicks, Martin did a few back-flips and ended it with a fighting stance.
"Oh quite showing off.", Nigel said. "We know you can fight."
"Now, now.", Angelo said as they walked up to the girls. "Martin just wants to show off for his Wittle Irma."
"What is this, make fun of Irma day?", Irma snapped.
"What's up with her?", Angelo asked Elyon.
"Cornelia gave her a taste of her own medicine.", Elyon replied.
"Really?", Angelo questioned, actting aurprised. "It's about time girl! It's been a long time coming!"
"Thank you, thank you.", Cornelia said taking a bow.
"Hey!", Irma said.
"I think we should head to the movies, before Irma gets anymore upset.", Eric said as he and Hay Lin began to walk off.
"Shall we?", Angelo asked as he offered his arm to Elyon.
"Yes, we shall.", Elyon said as she grabbed onto his arm and walked off with him.
Soon, all six couples were off to the movie to enjoy themselves.
Two hours later...
"I can't believe I actually sat there and watched that movie!", Angelo said with a shiver, as they all were walking out of the movies. "That movie's gonna bomb, like the last one!"
"What?", the girls yelled causing Angelo to jump back a little.
"Bad move, dude.", Matt said.
"That movie was just as good as the last one, Vance Micheal Justin did!", Cornelia said glaring at Angelo.
"How dare you insult him like that?", Irma questioned. "V.M.J. is one of the best singers of all time!"
"We know he can sing, Irma.", Martin said.
"Hey.", Nigel said. "We know that."
"He just can't act.", Eric said.
"I wouldn't even call what he was doing acting.", Angelo replied. "That was just him remembering lines he was giving."
"Angelo!", Elyon said in surprise.
"It's true baby.", Angelo said. "The guy can sing. I'll give him that. But that guy needs some acting lessons!"
"That's just you guys opinion.", Will said.
"Really?", Angelo questioned. "Hold on a second."
Angelo then jumped up on the nearest bench and took a deep breath.
"Can I get everyone's attention, please!", Angelo yelled getting the attention of most of the people leaving the theater. "Most of you all saw the new movie V.M.J. was in right?"
"Yeah.", most of the couples said.
"Now, and be honest.", Angelo said. "How many of you think that the boy needs acting lessons?"
Slowly, but surely, most of the guys there raised their hands. As well as a few girls!
"Johnny!", one girl said looking at her boyfriend.
"Sorry, Tina.", the boy said. "But the guy can't act right."
"I feel the same way, Megan.", a red-headed boy said.
"Not you too Freddy!", Megan said.
Soon, guys were telling their girlfriends or dates how they felt about the movie. Seeing this Angelo jumped down from the bench and walked up to his friends.
"We better leave.", Angelo said. "Cause I think I just caused a few future break-ups."
Agreeing with that, the twelve of them sneaked away, without being noticed.
Soon, they were at Caleb, and Elyon's home, where the girls were spending the night.
"So I'll see you Monday.", Angelo said as he wrapped his arms around Elyon.
"I wish I could stay the weekend.", Elyon said sadly. "But, I..."
"It's okay.", Angelo said. "You have to take care of some family business."
'You have no idea.', Elyon thought to herself.
"Tell you what.", Angelo said. "How about this Monday, we spend some time together. Just you and me."
"I'd like that.", Elyon said before they kissed.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow?", Taranee said to Nigel.
"I should hope so.", Nigel joked before they kissed.
"See you tomorrow.", Martin said before he and Irma kissed.
"Um... duh!", Irma joked before they kissed again.
"Still wanna go to that art exhibit, tomorrow?", Eric asked Hay Lin.
"Of course I do!", Hay Lin said happily before they kissed.
"Goodnight.", Will said before she and Matt kissed.
"I'll see you tomorrow.", Matt said.
After saying their goodbyes, the guys left Caleb, and Elyon's home, and went their separate ways home. The girls, and Caleb went inside the Brown's home, to get some sleep.
Later that night, Angelo woke up sweatting in fear, from the nightmare he just had! He knew he had to contact his fellow Battle Warriors fast! And he knew the quickest way.
'Eric!' he called out to the speedy warrior mentally, knowing he would hear him. 'Eric!'
'I'm up! I'm up!', Eric said before yawning. 'Dude! It's 1:37 A.M.!'
'I know, but I just had this jacked up vision, of Cornelia biting the bullet!', Angelo said as he noticed his transformation ring glowing. 'And I think it may happen this mourning!'
'Your ring glowing too?', Eric asked as he saw his doing the same thing.
'Yeah.', Angelo replied. 'Contact the others and have them meet us at Shell Beach.'
'Already told them.', Eric said as he jumped out of bed.
Soon, the Mystic Battle Warriors teletransported to Shell Beach. All four were still a bit groggy from waking up this early in the mourning.
"Are you sure about this, man?", Nigel asked.
"Yeah, man.", Martin said before yawning. "I was dreaming of me and Irma on beach somewhere. I was in my Warrior form, in some swim trunks, while she was in her Guardian form. In a bikini! A bikini man!"
"I was dreaming the same thing!", Eric said. "Only I was with Hay Lin."
"Sorry guys, but I had a vision.", Angelo said.
"Eric already told us.", Nigel said. "But are you sure it's going to happen now?"
"As sure as our rings are glowing.", Angelo said as he held up his right hand the ring was on.
The other three held up their rings, that were glowing, and knew that they had work to do. They then held their rings up, and said the phrase that would change them into the Mystic Teenage Battle Warriors.
"Mystic Storm, Battle Form!", the four of them called out.
Suddenly, the four of them were covered in separate balls of light, as the transformation took place. Each of them felt themselves grow a bit taller and more built. They soon felt their clothes change as well. Next they felt their powers come to full. Eric felt his speed increase, while Nigel felt his strenght grow. Martin felt like he could fly for hours, and Angelo felt his energy grow. Once the balls of light faded, they boys were in their Battle Warrior forms, weapons and all.
"Man, this never gets old!", Nigel said as he flexed his muscles.
"I know what you mean.", Eric said as he ran in place at super-speed.
"I love this job!", Martin said as he hovered in the air a little.
"Well, I suggest we go and do what we do best.", Angelo said as he opened a fold to Metamoor.
Once they were ready, the four of them went through the fold to fight Alliance of Evil.
'I just hope my vision doesn't happen.', Angelo said as the fold closed behind them.
A/N: After a night at the movies, with their girlfriends, the guys are off to fight the AoE. What do they have planned anyway? And does it have to do with Angelo's vision of Cornelia dying?
