Cornelia : Now Will has new powers? C'mon!
Will : Jealous? I thought you have too.

Will : storyLover58 does not own W.I.T.C.H..
Cornelia : Alright, healing isn't lame at all. Happy.
Me : I am actually, now on with the story...
Chapter 21 : Second Round
Will and Cornelia was fighting against Irma. Taranee was battling Lia-Hin and the Regents was keeping the army and Miranda busy. Hay Lin stayed with Simon to make sure Irma doesn't get him before they got a chance to get her back.
Will kept on dodging Irma's attack. 'Corny! I need some distraction here! I can't charge up my Quintessence,' Will called out.
'I'm trying to, but Irma kept on deflecting my attack!' Cornelia said while she kept on tossing stones at Irma, but she just use her telekinesis to delflet it.
'Your sure you're not going to attack me with those small stones. It's like they aren't really annoying me,' Irma taunt her, which Cornelia was getting furious.
'Now you done it!' Cornelia called out before she raise the sand around Irma before surrounding her.
'Have you forgotten something,' Irma stated before the sand completely surrounded her.
'What did she just say?' Cornelia asked before looking at Will.
'I think she said we forgotten something, but what?' Will asked before they saw that the sand began to move.
'What the?!' Cornelia yelled out before the sand surrounding her disperse. Will and Cornelia were stunned at the ability she had.
'No way, she has air element too!?' Will called out before she charged up her Quintessence.
'Well, now she has fire, earth and air. But I remembered she told us her water is much more powerful than before,' Cornelia stated before they noticed Irma was getting ready to attack.
'Now you get it. But lukily for you guys, I don't have Quintessence like Will, but who needs it when I have the other four elements,' Irma said before she released her water at them.
'It's better than never,' Will said before she let her charge go and strike the water. It water conducting the electricity heading straight towards Irma, but the next happen unexpected. Irma smirk before she stop her water attack and replace it with fire.
'No way, she can change her element that fast!?' Cornelia said before she dodged the fireballs.
'Surprise? Don't be,' Irma said before she blew a gust of wind at Will. Will was trying to hold on to the ground, struggling not to get blown away.
'Earth!' Cornelia called out before the sand made a dome around her and Will.
'Thanks Corny, for saving my skin,' Will said before she dust herself off.
'No problem, but let's get Irma,' Cornelia said. When she lowered the sand, Irma had disappeared.
'Where'd she go?' Will asked while looking around.
'There she is,' Cornelia said while pointing at the sudden mist at their recent hideout.
'Hay Lin and Simon is there! Let's go,' Will said before heading towards the mist with Cornelia following her.
Hay Lin was making a big mist around her and Simon to make Irma blind from spotting them. 'Where are you Hay Lin,' Irma called out while trying to make the mist around her to disperse.
'We don't need to fight. We came here to talk,' Hay Lin called out from the ground in the mist.
'Your lying! You guys just wanted me to get corrupted,' Irma yelled out from the mist.
'What! We are not corrupted, you gotta believe us,' Hay Lin said while looking at Simon.
'Then just give me back Simon and I will leave you for once,' Irma said.
'We did this because we want you to come back,' Hay Lin said.
'Back!? I don't believe you guys for one sec. Your just trying to corrupt me!' Irma said before she finally disperse the mist.
'Well then, I better get the flying bird of the sky,' Will said from behind Irma. She then let her electric charge on Irma, but she flew away as fast as the wind.
'Whoa, did she just disappear?' Cornelia asked.
'Nope, just another upgrade,' Irma said behind Cornelia. She then shot a jet of wateer at her, sending her straight towards a rock. The rock crack up upon impact before she fell onto the ground.
'Cornelia!' Will called out before she charge up her magic. Her eyes was in rage and her hands was clenching. 'Irma! You have gone too far! Way too far!' she yelled before she strike her.
'Oops...' Irma just got out of the way before she attack back with fireballs. 'Maybe overdoing wasn't such a good idea,' Irma said under her own breath.
'First you won't let us explain, andnow you hurt Cornelia!' Will cried out before shooting another lightning bolt at Irma. She just barely got strike by it.
'Close one,' Irma thought before she raise the sand around Will, surrounding her. 'Your too dangerous for me, I better seal the deal,' Irma said before she completely seal Will in the sand.
'Will!' Hay Lin called out before she tried to blow the sand around Will, to free her.
'If you want to see her again, then hand ma Simon,' Irma stated, but without noticing, Cornelia threw a boulder at her. It hit her, sending her towards a building on the beach, destroying it instantly.
She noticed that the sand traping Will began to disperse. 'Will, are you alright?' Cornelia asked while helping her up.
'Yeah, now let's get Irma,' Will said which Cornelia nodded. They headed to the destroyed building to which Irma was.
Meanwhile, Taranee was dodging Lia-Hin water before shooting back her fire at him. 'Is that all you got?' Lia-Hin taunt her before shooting back the water at her.
'No way am I gonna lose to a guy like you,' Taranee stated before she made a barrier of fire around her. The water evaporate upon touching the fire, which she then strike back.
'Water always defeated fire. Now to end this,' Lia-Hin said before he shot another water at Taranee.
'Yeah, we will end this,' Taranee said before she tried something unexpected. Her entire body was in flames, which surprised her. 'Okay, now that was unexpected,' she stated. The water strike her, but it then evaporate instantly.
'How did you do that?!' Lia-Hin called out before Taranee smirk.
'I'm on fire, literally,' Taranee said before she shoot some fireballs at Lia-Hin. He was now trying to dodge the fire without getting hit, but one of it hit him square on his chest. It send him flying towards the rock, which he fell unconscious. 'Now that is done, time to help Matt,' Taranee stated before flying away.
Matt and the Regents was battling the army and Miranda. 'Stay still, you little creepy spider,' Matt said while shooting beam from his eyes at Miranda, which she kept on dodging.
'That's the point,' Miranda said before shooting a web at Matt.
'No way am I gonna let you touch me,' Matt said before he struck the web with his beam.
'Since we are done with your army, I don't think it can be any harder to deal with a spider,' Napolean said before he jump over Miranda. She managed to dodge him in time before getting crush.
'Did anyone call a spider control?' Taranee asked jokingly before throwing fireballs at Miranda. It struck her, sending her flying towards one of the car that was park on the road.
'Thanks Taranee, let's help the others. Napolean and Mr Huggles, go and take over Hay Lin spot while she help us,' Matt said before he and Taranee joined Will and Cornelia.
'C'mon buddy, let's move it,' Napolean said before they headed towards Hay Lin to watch over Simon.
'Hey Napolean,' Hay Lin said.
'Hay Lin, go and help the others, we can handle here,' Napolean said which Hay Lin nodded and flew towards the current battle.
Will and Cornelia was beside the destroyed building. 'Do you think she is out?' Cornelia asked.
'Think again,' Irma said under the piled of wood. She then crawled out of the pile before getting up.
'Stop it Irma. You can't fight us, we outnumbered you,' Will said right after Taranee and Matt landed nearby.
'We got you surrounded,' Hay Lin said from behind Irma.
'You haven't seen anything yet,' Irma said before she flew up. The girls look her flying up before they followed her.
When they were in the sky, Irma was in battle stance. 'Either we do this the easy way, or the hard way,' Taranee said before her entire body went into flames.
'Whoa, Taranee, when did you get an upgrade?' Cornelia commented which Will glare at her.
'Corny, this is no time to joke around,' Will said before Cornelia paid her attention back to Irma.
'I see that you guys wanted to take me down,' Irma stated before noticing Cornelia raised a boulder.
'You think,' Cornelia said before she break the boulder into smaller stones.
'We outmatch you too,' Matt said, getting ready for another shot.
'So give up,' Hay Lin said whiule the wind was moving around her.
'Or we can take you down, hard,' Will said before the electric was visible around her.
'Crap! Who am I suppose to attack first, and to defend from. If I take oout Will, the others will strike back, unless...' Irma thought which Taranee raised her hand, getting ready to shoot fireballs at Irma.
'Last chance, stand down,' Taranee said.
'Fat chance' Irma called out before she shot a dozen of fireballs at her. 'Time for some serious mood,' Irma thought before she used her water to block the fire. She was about to fly upwards but Matt was above her.
'No way you're getting any higher,' Matt stated before shooting a beam at Irma.
'Crap!' Irma thought before she dodged it.
'You're completely surrounded, so just give up!' Will said while her hands were charging up with Quintessence.
'I told you, fat chance!' Irma called out before shooting some fireballs at Will.
'You ask for it, Hay Lin! Cornelia! Taranee! Let's end this right now!' Will called out which they nodded.
'What are you guys doing?' Irma asked, facing the four with Matt heading back to Simon.
'Combining together,' Cornelia said before they got ready.
'I think I better m...' before Irma could finish what she thought, the girls attack her simultaneosly. Irma was hit, hard, flying towards the ocean. She then landed on the ocean before sinking.
'I think we overdid it,' Taranee stated before the fire on her body faded.
'Maybe, but I have a feeling we didn't,' Will said noticing that the ocean had some bubbles coming out where Irma had sinked.
In the water, Irma was on the seabed, concentrating. 'Now that was the last straw,' Irma thought before she swam towards the surface.
'Guys, look!' Hay Lin said while pointing at the ocean. The girls watch what was happening and they were shocked.
'Still saying we overdid it?' Cornelia said sarcastically while looking at Taranee, which she glare at Cornelia.
'This is no time to joke around, and how do we take her down,' Will said before she charge her Quintessence.
Irma was inside the water body form. She was the nexus, which the girls knew about on how to defeat a giant water form. But this time, the water around Irma was solid, like crystal. And her water form was twice as big as last time. 'You know guys, that was very painful,' Irma said before she hit the ground. The sand on the beach created a crater upon impacted.
'Whoa, now that was close,' Will stated before flying towards Irma.
'Matt! We need your help big time!' Cornelia called out while looking back at thee water form. She saw the water form hand heading straight towards her. She managed to dodge it in time before she threw rocks at her.
'How did she do that?' Matt asked while he joined the battle.
'Well, funny thing,' Hay Lin said with a giggle, which wasn't a good time.
'Now's not the time. How did she managed to create these? And how come you guys can't?' Matt asked before Will flew towards him.
'Because our element can't make a giant form like water without destroying the area around it,' Will explained.
'Okay, so water is the only element which can make a huge water form with the guardian as the nexus,' Matt stated in his own way, which Will shook her head yes.
'You got it, now help us!' Will said before she look at the water form.
'Already on it,' Matt said before he shot a beam at Irma, but somehow, it didn't touch her.
'Now that was unexpected,' Will stated before they flew out of the way of the water Irma had just shot.
'You know, I don't have to do this. Just give me back Simon then I will leave you guys be,' Irma said before shooting a jet of water at Cornelia.
'We did this so we can talk but you just stubborn,' Will said before striking Irma with her Quintessence. It struck her before she clench her hands together. 'Now that was easy,' Will said. But the water around Irma didn't disperse like it always did.
'Is that all you got,' Irma said before looking at Will with a smirk. Will was shocked that she had somehow survived the attack. 'Too bad, I got a tight schedule,' Irma said before she sprayed a big jet of water at Will, sending her towards the ground. She hit the ground hard, making a small crater under her before she black out.
'Will!' Cornelia called out before she threw a big boulder at Irma. 'Take this!' Cornelia yelled.
Irma yawned sarcastically while putting her hand up to catch the boulder. 'Too easy,' she stated before throwing the boulder back at Cornelia like a pitcher in a baseball game. The boulder flew towards Cornelia in high speed. She doesn't had any time to deflect it, so she tried to dodge it. But she was too late, the boulder hit her, sending her hurtling towards a stall, which was destroyed upon impacted. The boulder that hit Cornelia earlier had broke into pieces, which Irma knew that she would be out cold.
'Hey! That's my friend you just took out!' Taranee said before her entire body was engulf in flames.
'I told you guys, I just wanted Simon back, but you all are just stubborn,' Irma said before she raised the ocean water from behind her and let it strike all three of them, Taranee, Hay Lin and Matt, knocking them out cold.
Hay Lin saw that Irma had disperse the water around her before she flew towards where they hid Simon. She then black out right after Irma had found Napolean and Mr Huggles. 'Why... did you... have to... this way...' Hay Lin said quietly.
Napolean and Mr Huggles was in battle stance. 'Look, water girl, we just wanted to talk to you, but you just took out your friends,' Napolean said looking at the guardians and Matt motionless on the beach.
'They were my friends, and so are you,' Irma said before she sprayed them with a jet of water at them. They were hurtling towards an abandoned building before they fell to the ground. She saw that Simon was beside her before she untied him. 'Simon, I'm glad your alright,' Irma said before giving him a hug.
'You did this for me?' Simon asked, pitying the guardians and Regents.
'Yeah, let's go and get the others before we head back,' Irma said before they got up.
'Time for plan C girls,' Simon thought before they got the army, Miranda and Lia-Hin up and Irma open a fold to Bartiliate They crossed the fold, before Simon look at Will who saw what was happening. Will nodded her head, to inform him to just go, which he did.
Once the fold had closed, she got up and head towards Taranee. 'Boy, Irma seriously is pissed,' Will said before she helped Taranee up.
'Thanks Will,' Taranee said before they headed towards Matt and Hay Lin. They slowly got up with thanking Will and Taranee.
'Hey, wait, where's Cornelia?' Will asked, noticing that she was no where to be seen.
'I forgotten, she was hit by the rock too hard. She is at the destroyed stall over there,' Taranee pointed at the destroyed stall.
'We better get her out then,' Will said before she rushed towards the stall. Taranee, Hay Lin and Matt followed her to help her get Cornelia out.
Once they were beside the stall, they quickly dig through the rubble around Cornelia. 'I hope she's alright,' Will said before she finally spotted Cornelia, which was unconscious. 'Please be alright,' Will then placed the heart over Cornelia. She was checking the body of her, and with her luck she was alright. Even with the impacted, she had managed to find a way to soften the impacted.
'How is she?' Taranee asked. She saw that Will was breathing in relief, she guess that Cornelia was fine.
'Let's get her to the Silver Dragon,' Matt said before carrying her.
'Okay, but let me get Napolean and Mr Huggles,' Hay Lin said before she flew towards the Regents. She noticed that Napolean and Mr Huggles was laying on the ground, barely moving. 'Are you guys alright?' Hay Lin asked while landing beside them.
'We're fine kiddo, just bruise,' Napolean stated before getting up. Mr Huggles then got up before nodded that he was fine too.
'We better go to the Silver Dragon,' Hay Lin stated before Napolean and Mr Huggles transform back to normal. Mr Huggles climbed on Hay Lin before resting on her shoulder. She then carried Napolean before she flew towards the restaurant to discuss about the recent battle.
At the world of Bartiliate, Irma and Simon was at the cliff, looking out into the ocean. 'Did they hurt you?' Irma asked.
'No, they didn't,' Simon answered. He knew that is was true, since he willingly followed them to Heatherfield to discuss about a way to contact them when they need to know.
'Good to hear,' Irma said before resting her head on Simon's shoulder.
'I know you will,' Simon said before stroking Irma's hair. Simon look at the ring on his finger, before putting it into his pocket, not letting Irma know about his secret task. 'Sorry Irma, but they are your friends and Sarian is lying to you. All I have to do is wait for the right moment,' Simon thought. He then look at the bracelet Irma was wearing around her left wrist. It was glowing, but it was dim. He wondered whether it could cause the evilness in Irma, if it is, he needs a way to get it off of her and find a replica of it to trick Sarian. Then Irma could go back to the way she was before and all of this would be over.
Well, another late update. But still, I need a way to get a new chapter name. But the next one I know what to name. I would think a review would be nice, so let me know.
