Chapter 21-

I am happy to put up a quick update. I hope you guys enjoy it. I also want to thank HeartofPinksol for reviewing so much on this story.

"Alright," Ice says as she feels her powers coming into her. "Caleb and Hope did it."

The girls continue following the young man as another set of guardians, at a different location, appear and with Julian and the earth guardians the powered up girls continue fighting side by side.

…..

"Uhhh," Hope groans in frustration, "this is not even making a dent to the bars."

"Maybe I can help," Caleb says taking out his sword.

"Oh yeah Caleb. Your sword is so wonderful that it can cut right through the bars."

"You never know," he shrugs walking away from the bars that imprison them.

Once he is on the other side of the room he runs as fast as he can towards the bars with his sword ready to strike.

…..

As the last lizard like creature falls unconscious, the group joins the now free prisoners.

"We need to get them out," Cornelia says looking at the tire, worn out ex prisoners.

As the girls helps to secure the people away from the palace, which will soon become a war zone, Julian is recruiting as many strong and willing men and women to help in the takeover of the palace.

…..

"Hope, calm down," Caleb says grabbing her by her arms.

"How can I," she asks looking into his eyes. "There is a war outside these walls and we are stuck in here with no way out."

Caleb pulls away and runs his hands through his hair before sighing in exasperation.

For some reason when he growls and extends his hands towards the bars a ball of light erupts from his hands and hits the bars.

"How did you do that?" she asks as they stare at each other with wide eyes.

"I don't know," he says confuse.

"I don't know what this is about but it might help. Try to do it again when I tell."

After he nods Hope summons up both her guardian and royalty powers to produce a bright ball of light. Just as she is about to let it go she nods to the man beside her and both balls of lights hit the middle of the bars.

Once the couple can see once more, they see that together they have been able to produce a dent to their prison bars.

"I think we found a way out," Hope says with a big smile.

…..

"Hold on," Ivan says sticking out an arm to hold back the two water guardians running right behind him.

"What is going on," Irma asks looking around him to take a peek at the room they were about to enter.

All three look inside a big room where a huge contraption is. Inside they see a guard pushing a beautiful, older woman dress in rags being drag to whatever that thing is for.

"Is that…" Irma begins.

Both Ivan and Ice nods solemnly.

"Oh goodness," Irma says. "What are we going to do? There are too many people in there for us to fight by ourselves. We need our back up."

She says looking around her for the rest of the Calvary.

"Let's give the rest a few minutes to catch up," Ice says knowing it would be a bad idea to go in unprepared. "If they don't hurry up we could at least try to get in, or do something."

At that moment a loud screams rips out of the throat of Hope's beautiful queen mother.

…..

"Ahh," Hope says doubling over in pain.

"What is it," Caleb asks holding her in his arms.

"They are hurting them. I can feel it," she says looking at him with tears shinning in her arms.

"We need to get out of here," he says looking over at the dented bars.

"I have an idea," she says looking at him and holding her hand out to him.

He gives her a puzzle look before taking her hand. Both concentrating their powers and as one they then let go of it at the same time.

A bright light blinds them both as Caleb uses his body to protect her of any harm.

"Let's go," he says as they pull away from each other and noticing the huge whole where the bars use to stand on proudly.

…..

"What is wrong?" Cornelia stops as she sees Ice and Irma holding onto a quivering Ivan.

"We don't know," Irma says standing up straight and seeing the big group behind her friend.

There were more people than they ever thought. Not only is Julian and the other guardians following behind the blond earth guardian, there is also a few of the strongest prisoners that are willing to fight for their land.

"Were is Hope and Caleb?" Will asks nearing them as she looks with concern at the young man standing between Irma and Ice.

"We haven't seen them yet," Ice says as Ivan soon stops shaking.

"I hope nothing bad happened to them," Haylin says. "How you feeling Ivan?"

"Better," he says with a small grimace.

"I don't think that we would still be in guardian form if they were injured," Mapple says as the big group hides into a side hall.

"She is the one that hold us together," Kay says nodding.

"The question is, where are they," Cornelia asks.

At the end of the hall they see a couple running towards them. They barely recognize Hope as her guardian form is now different.

She is no longer in just her purple, black and pink guardian outfit. Her dark long hair is now up in an elegant bun with a small gold and diamond tiara on the top. Her pale skin is glowing in a gold gleam that is only diminished by the shine in her light purple eyes.

That is not all, the once rebel leader now seems to be different but at this moment no one is able to place it.

"What happened to you guys," Terrane and Lexi asks at the same time.

"We got imprisoned by Matt," Caleb says.

"We couldn't get freed that is why it took us so long to get here. Have you guys found my parents?" Hope asks not getting the point of the girls' actual question.

"Yes, they are in the throne room," Ivan says before both he and Hope double over in pain once more.

"Hope," Caleb says holding her in his arms tightly.

"Ivan," Ice says running to his side, just as Caleb helps Hope.

"Are you guys okay," Will asks.

"What is going on," Kay asks.

"We need to act fast," Hope says straightening up with the help of Caleb.

"They are getting hurt," Ivan finishes.

"How," Will asks with concern.

"I am not sure, but I don't how much longer they have," Hope says. "It feels like their power is being sucked out of them."

"Okay then, we need a plan," Caleb says getting right to business as he holds onto Hope's waist.

Hope you guys liked the chapter. The end will be near so and I will try to update as soon as possible.
