This is it! The battle we've all been waiting for!

Chapter 10: Prepare for Battle

The next day, all of the Guardians started sharpening their talon claws and their masks as they head for battle at St. Aggie's. Travis was standing at the hollow, feeling a little anxious but confident that this is his first battle to go against Kludd and Nyra after some brutal memories after being at St. Aggie's for a year and a half. He walks slowly and sees everyone prepping for war.

"You ready?"

Travis turned around and sees Soren, Twilight, Digger, Eglantine, Otulissa and Gylfie standing in front of them and Travis replied, "As ready as I've ever been."

Ezylryb looks at Travis and said, "You're ready to fight, my boy."

"I just hope I learned what I've trained for."

"You will. Just trust your gizzard."

"No matter what happens, we're all in this together." Soren said.

Travis looked at Eglantine and asked, "Won't it be dangerous for her?"

Soren looked at Eglantine and said, "My parents are gonna take care of her and they're going along as well."

"Are they really?"

"Yes."

"I'll be fine, Travis. Really." Eglantine said.

Travis chuckled and said, "I know you will."

Twilight looked at Travis and said, "We are all gonna go against evil yet again! St. Aggie's have got nothing on young Travis!"

Digger said, "Don't overdo it again."

"Travis, I do hope that you'll be fine." Gylfie said.

"I've been saying the same thing to myself."

"But I have confidence that this will be the most adventurous journey we've ever faced."

"I know you and Soren have been to St. Aggie's before and I'm sure it was horrible." Travis said.

"The worst." Soren said.

"Why didn't Kludd leave?"

"I don't know why. I think I was the reason why."

"Don't blame yourself, Soren. He should've left with us." Gylfie said.

"But he chose that path. I still don't understand why he never left St. Aggie's."

"Me neither."

"He might've stuck around." Otulissa said.

"Might have."

"So, I don't know about you, but I am ready to put an end to this horrendous nightmare." Travis said.

"Right you are! I think this calls for a song!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Oh, please don't. I can't take listening to your songs." Digger said.

"Well, you're gonna hear it anyway."

"The only importance is that we can make strong the weak and mend the broken." Soren said.

"Wasn't there a third thing?" asked Travis.

"And to vanquish evil."

"That too."

Boron came over and asked, "Are we all ready for this battle?"

"Yes, sir. We are." Soren replied.

"I've got your talons ready."

One by one, everyone got their talons ready and Travis looked his talon claws and it feels like he's ready for this. Seeing that this is his first time there, he's ready for anything. Otulissa looked at Travis' talons and said, "You know, for your first battle, I think you look amazing."

"Thanks, I think." Travis answered.

"Excellent! You seem fit for battle! Although, I'm pretty sure that all the warriors would fear you." Twilight said.

"If they have, they'll start with you." Digger said.

"You should know."

Digger looked at Travis and said, "Seemingly, I think your first battle will be a breeze."

"How so?"

"Same thing for me. We did this before we were crowned the Guardians of Ga'hoole and there's no doubt you can be one too."

"Really?" Travis asked, excitedly.

"It depends."

"Well, okay."

Ezylryb looked at Travis and said, "You are ready."

"Am I, really?"

"Yes. You are."

All of the Guardians are ready to fly to St. Aggie's to start another war and they're ready to break out another battle. Boron lead them with Barran and they all flew out of Ga'hoole and when the time came, Soren, Travis, Gylfie, Otulissa, Digger, Twilight and Ezylryb flew behind them as they followed them to St. Aggie's. Travis became extremely excited, but started to feel nervous and said, "I hope I know what I'm doing..."

"You will. You're ready." Soren said.

"I'm looking forward to be the new Guardian."

"I strongly believe you will."

Will Travis' training pay off? We'll see!
