I thank CCRox4Eva (Sorry I spooked you), minipower (hope this chapter is amazing as well), TCTK (I decided to abbreviate your name The Crazy Talk Kid, and again thanks), and lastly donki-shouben (let's see what questions this chapter brings). Also thank you to all that are reading Tsunami and not reviewing…wait a minute if you're reading it then why aren't you reviewing. Don't be shy, I'm a nice guy trust me. So review.
This chapter is a little shorter than some of the others, but it has pretty much everything that I wanted to put in it.
"We should have done something," a very annoyed Sol sulks after she and Jewel had watched the first battle between the Guardians and Dark Enigma. "Those two would be so done if we had."
"You know the reasons why we couldn't," Jewel responds with a sigh, "the Guardians had to experience a true battle with Dark Enigma, and now that they have…"
"They'll be even more willing to find a way to beat them." Sol says as she starts to pout. "I know how the whole process is supposed to go, even though I don't like it."
"Besides," Jewel says with a grin as a dragon winged person flies from her perch, "we weren't the only ones watching the fight, isn't that right Water Guardian."
"Wow you have the eyes of a hawk, Jewel," Sol says looking every which way.
"Sol," Jewel says glaring at the girl.
"Ya, I know," Sol says, "back to Candracar's surface. God, that place is creepy." The girl then disappears in a flash of light.
"Well," Jewel says turning to look at Heatherfield Memorial Hospital, "time for the Guardian leader to get out of bed."

"I was wondering when you were going to show yourself," nymph Irma says standing in a pool of water that comes up to her knees. "I thought for sure I killed you." She turns to see her human form staring her down.
"Not when my friends are in danger," the human Irma says taking a fighting stance. Nymph Irma chuckles at this as what wraps the little brown haired human.
"Now, listen to me you insignificant speck of mental energy," nymph Irma screams as she brings the human form close, "I control this body, not you. I am supreme ruler of this mind, so next time you get it through your head to risk my safety, remember to whom you even were granted life. You worthless mask." Then with a flick of her wrist human Irma is thrown into the shadows.

"Akatsuki," Mitsunari says in a somewhat angry tone, "tell me why you decided to use your Tsukiyomi."
"The Heart of Earth would not utilize any of her magical potential," Akatsuki responds, "I figured it would be safer to use the Tsukiyomi on the Guardian that appeared to be close to the girl, to see if I could get a reaction."
"Why not attack the girl directly," Mitsunari asks.
"Air Guardian," Oak responds.
"I do not understand," Mitsunari questions while looking at the two warriors before him.
"I could not risk your Air Guardian's safety when she would have put herself in-between the girl and the Amaterasu." Akatsuki responds quickly while entering an apologetic bow.
"I see," Mitsunari says as the doors to his chambers open and Mizu enters the room. "That will be all."
"Very well," Akatsuki says as he and Oak leave passed the water maiden.
"You wanted to see me," she asks taking a knee.
"Yes," Mitsunari proclaims, "I need you to ascertain a watch on the Guardians."
"By myself," Mizu asks in concern, "isn't that a tad bit reckless."
"I would never send my men out on missions alone," Mitsunari says with a grin, "Morphea will be accompanying you."
"Very well," the woman says, "off to Earth I shall go."

"And that's the best description of what happened," Hay Lin finishes explaining the battle with Dark Enigma.
"From the sounds of things," Taranee says pushing up her glasses, "they are way powerful."
"Yes," Elyon responds with her own comment. "The two that attacked me were able to hold me back, but they didn't really wish to harm me. I wonder why?" The young queen stands and heads toward the stairwell. "I'm going to go check on Cornelia."
"Did you find anything Taranee?" Hay Lin asks once Elyon has left the room.
"Not on Dark Enigma," Taranee sighs while shaking her head, "but I did find information on the five nymphs that your grandma mentioned."
"Really," Hay Lin says, "so what did you learn?"
"Apparently," she says in a teacher like tone, "around the time in which our powers where still in the form of the four dragons and the nymph Xing Jing that time's Heart of Earth fell in love with the Dragon King."
"What does that have to do with nymphs," Hay Lin asks calmly.
"Anyway," Taranee scoffs ignoring the interruption, "the two beings had five daughters. One was of the sky, one was of the land, one was of the sea, one was of the heavens, and one was of the underworld."
"The five nymphs," Hay Lin asks only to get a nod from Taranee, "what are their names?"
"All resources I looked at didn't say," Taranee responds before continuing, "but apparently after their parents' death the five inherited the world, each controlling the region of their innate abilities. Sky got the sky; land got the land, and so on. Then without warning the sky nymph was murdered. The sea nymph swore vengeance for her sister and after hearing that the killer was from another world she went there and destroyed everything that lived."
"Cavighnor," Hay Lin responds.
"Later it was discovered that it was the underworld nymph that killed the sky nymph, but the crime had already been committed," Taranee says, "the sea and underworld nymphs were sealed in sarcophagi and were locked inside for all eternity. But that isn't the interesting part."
"What's the interesting part," Hay Lin asks with a curious look on her face.
"The sarcophagi are said to be on the surface of a world protected by a fortress that floats in the sky." Taranee says with a confident grin.
"Candracar," Hay Lin says, "well this is as good of a lead as any." She smiles wide. "After school tomorrow we should go. Our next clue has got to be there, I can feel it."

"Cornelia, Cornelia," the blonde haired Earth Guardian is awoken by the sounds of a familiar voice. She opens her blue eyes to see Caleb, though it looks as if she looked right past him as she quickly sits up and begins to panic.
"Oh my god," she mumbles in her panic, "what happened?" She reaches around her to try to feel the two wings that she last remembered were being forcefully removed from her back. "Where are they? What did you do them?" She turns angry panic stricken eyes on the confused Caleb.
"Cornelia," Caleb says extending a gentle hand towards the girl, "its okay now. You're safe in the Silver Dragon." Cornelia shyly takes the hand though still with fear in her eyes before she finally snaps out of her trance.
"Caleb," she says softly pulling him into a quick embrace, "boy am I so glad to see you."
"Well," Elyon says walking down the stairs into the basement, "I see that you're up."
"Elyon, what are you doing here," Cornelia asks with a puzzled look on her face before running over and giving her best friend a hug, "oh well, I'm glad you're here."
"Cornelia," Elyon says returning her friend's hug, "we have more problematic things to worry about."
"Like what," Cornelia asks.
"Like explaining to Lillian how her cat can talk and why your house became a war zone," Caleb says crossing his arms around his chest.
"So that wasn't just a dream," Cornelia's expression changes to one of worry as she wraps her arms around herself.
"No," Elyon says, "but don't worry about how to tell your parents. Hay Lin and her Grandma already got a hold of them and made up a convincing story."
"That's good," Cornelia sighs as she heads up the stairs, "now I just got to explain everything."
"You'll be fine," Elyon responds, "after all we're here to help you."

Jewel lands softly in Will's hospital room. Matt had been released so he was forced to go home once visiting hours were over. The angel then turns her attention to the red head lying so peacefully in her bed.
"Though I don't have the power to remove the Kokuangyou," she whispers as she looks at the girls face, "I can dispel Freya's magic."
She places her hands together with her index and middle fingers pointing in the air. She starts to concentrate as a white light wraps Will's body. "Kai." The light then disperses and enters Will's body. The red haired girl's breathing quickens but then shortly returns to normal.
"Now tomorrow when you wake up," Jewel says as she walks back over to the window, "you will be in near perfect health for the events to come." She then spreads her wings as she hops out the window and disappears.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why are you wearing such a ridiculous outfit," Morphea's whisper like voice asks Mizu as she sits in a park. Mizu had tucked her wings under her arms so that she could wear the sky blue t-shirt she now wore. She had on a pair of blue denim jeans and a pair of flip flops.
"I find one of the best ways to keep an eye on someone is to blend into the crowd and watch." Mizu says with a grin while stretching the shadow woman's cheeks with her hands.
"Why am I here then," Morphea says as her body disappears into one of the shadows and then reforms in a tree.
"Guess Mitsunari wanted me to have some muscle," Mizu giggles.
"The likelihood of us engaging in battle is," Morphea hisses. She was hungry and so wanted to go back to Meridian and have a queen for dinner.
"Twenty three percent," Mizu says in a know it all tone of voice. "Plus, Sheffield Institute did need a new P.E teacher."
"Well that explains the outfit," Morphea says now noticing that the Water Guardian has fallen asleep.
