In the dark cave, Lady Pandora sits upon her throne looking very impatient as Argo: Jason stands before her. "Jason, you collected a great amount of energy from these mortals. However, you also had a great many failures. Furthermore, Guardian Moon, Guardian Mercury and Guardian Mars have appeared. But in spite of the appearance of this opposition, you have yet to destroy them."

"But Lady Pandora..." Jason wanted to explain something.

"I DO NOT want to hear your excuses! You will defeat the three Guardian warriors standing in our way. If you cannot destroy them, you will be sentenced to 'Eternal Sleep'." The demons around were watching the fiasco unfolding and were shock when she mentioned the punishment. "Jason, I hope you already know that once you are sentenced to 'Eternal Sleep', you will fall to the bottom of evil darkness, never to return!" Jason stood there and lost himself in thoughts.

Selina watch the night sky from her open window in her room, enjoying the cool air that surrounds her face. Luna sat on a chair reading through a variety of books, looking for answers as she continue to do her research. "Too bad you can't see much with these city lights, The only star constellation I can see is The Big Dipper." Selina squinted her eyes maybe she can see more, but no luck.

"It's called Light Pollution. If you want to see stars, you need get out of the city and camp in the country. There you'll see countless of stars." Luna explained as she continue reading through her books. Selina went on daydreaming about the man in green royal uniform in her dreams and why he's always in her head when she sleeps.

"I wonder...if Guardian Earth has anything to do with him, hmmm..."

"What are you thinking? Planning you next disastrous vacation?" Luna teased.

"No, and it wasn't my fault that we ended up stranded in a wrecked ship that our enemy decided to plan on."

"I suppose your right. But still, trouble seems to follow you where you go."

"Geez, Luna, nothing but negativity from that mouth of yours."

"I'm just being honest."

"Too honest!" A evil laugh was heard in the air, Selina looked out to see if anybody was there. Luna was curious what she was doing.

"Selina, what's the matter?" Luna got up and went to the window with Selina.

"I thought I heard someone laughing." The night sky turned out to have strange clouds rotating in the centre. "What's that?!" Selina pointed out the sky. Luna grew serious. The clouds became a image of Jason.

"I am Jason. Listen closely, Guardian warriors!" He definitely got their attention. "JFK Airport at 1 AM tomorrow. Come to terminal 6. But if you do not..." Jason burst the city into flames.

"How dare he?!" Luna exclaimed. Jason snapped his fingers and shut out the flames.

"That was just an illusion! But if you do not show up, I will burn New York to the ground!" Jason's image disappeared and Selina was left speechless.

All four ladies showed up at the St. Mark church to have a talk of what just happened. "I know Jason will burn New York just like he warned us! What shall we do now?" Selina panicked.

"We should go! When evil challenges us, we have to accept!" Marcella said wisely.

"You're just to preachy, we would just be walking into a trap." Hermione explained. Selina stood there in thoughts.

"Even if that's true, we should still go!" Marcella said back.

"What do you think, Selina?" Luna asked.

"We should fight against evil, right?" Marcella was trying to make Selina lean towards her train of thought.

"We should think about it carefully, right, Selina?" Hermione did the same for her sake.

"Oh, I really don't want to go, because it's just too crazy!" Selina replied. The team got dumb-struck so unexpectedly.

The next morning, Luna was watching the local morning news. "As for the mysterious image that suddenly appeared in the night sky last night, the NYPD believe it to be a vicious prank intended to scare the public by displaying strange images in the sky. However, the threat to burn New York City to the ground cannot be ignored, and plans are being made to assign police officers to the vicinity of JFK Airport tomorrow night." At the college in Selina's classroom, every member of her class were talking about going to the airport to see what's going on. Well, this is a problem. If everyone goes there, they'll get caught in the crossfire. Hmmm...Maybe we shouldn't go after all, Luna would kill me if I say that! Selina was having a tennis match with her mind, trying to convince herself to go to the airport.

"Hey, Selina, what do you think?" Ellie called out.

"It's got to be a practical joke." Selina answered back.

"It is not! That was an alien! It was an alien warning us corrupt humans on this Earth!" Manny but in, as usual.

"Oh, Manny! You've been reading too many third-rated science fiction comics! But either way it sounds fun! Let's all get together tonight and go to JFK!" Ellie planned it out pretty quick. Selina jumped.

"Wait, everyone..."

"No, you will not! College students are not allowed to go out so late at night!" announced Mrs. Lenz, who overheard their conversation.

"That's right! Mrs. Lenz is exactly right! You shouldn't go!" Selina agreed.

"And why not?" Ellie asked.

"Because it's dangerous." Selina tried to be discreet.

"Why is it dangerous?" Ellie again. Selina wished she didn't ask anymore questions.

"Well..."

"Selina, you know something, don't you?" Manny got suspicious. Selina got to her limit.

"Look! I don't know anything! Anyway, if you have time to go out at night for fun, I think you should be at home studying!" Mrs. Lenz walked up to Selina.

"Ms. Chase! You're suddenly sounding serious..." the teacher felt her forehead. "Well, you don't have a fever. Do you have any problems you want to talk about? If you want I'm here to listen." Nobody took her seriously.

"Oh, you think it's weird for me to say something serious?! That's mean!" Selina's day was a mess. After classes, she went to the Arcade Cafe and told Wilbur everything that happened. He too laughed. "See? Isn't it horrible?" Selina wasn't sure if he was laughing at the story or at her.

"But I totally agree with your teacher. Part of your charm is how you don't say normal, serious things. If anything, I like girls with unique personalities." Wilbur is being Wilbur.

"Careful, you're flirting with me again!" Selina warned him, she got up and ready for her leave. She said her goodbyes to Wilbur and left the cafe. She walked home in a rush and of course not watching where she was going. "Men! Always trying to get their way!" Before Selina realized there was a person in her way, she quickly rammed into the guy and both fell on the ground, hard.

"Oh man! That hurt!" the man exclaimed.

"Ouch! I'm sorry! I didn't see you there!" Selina quickly recovered and attend to the man, but then the both realized who they were.

"AGAIN?!" Both said it simultaneously.

"You bumped into me with that hard head of yours again! Did you headbutt me on purpose?" Eddie was looking for a fight.

"It's your fault for not paying attention to where you're walking."

"Oh, yeah? You're not so cute. Can't you talk more properly like a normal girl? Oh wait, you can't, you're a tomboy!"

"Really? Is that all you can do? Because I can do better!"

"Fine. Any guy who would date you are losers!"

"Well, he'll be much more charming than you'll ever be!"

"Birds of a feather flock together. Every Jack has his Jill. Garbage goes in the garbage bin! A loser for a tomboy? Now that I never heard of."

"How are you so mean? I can't do anything about you calling me names, but this is way to far! HELP! SOMEBODY, HELP! THIS MAN IS HURTING ME!" The public around them were alerted, they all looked at Eddie with intimidating eyes.

"Hey, stop that..." Eddie got a little scared. "I'm sorry. I have some urgent business to take care of. Well, bye!" Eddie ran to the opposite direction and disappeared in the crowd. Selina stopped her damsel in distress cry and went back to her normal self.

"Serves him right!"

Night time came, and the JFK was filled with security in and out. Jason stood on the top of the tower and watched the guards do their job. "I have no business with you people, so you can sleep for awhile!" Jason created a mist and made everyone go to sleep in the airport. "Come on, Guardians!" Jason was pumped. At the subway station, 145 St, the girls arrived.

"Selina, you're suppose to be athletic, why are you so slow?!" Marcella picked on Selina again.

"You're acting all bossy again!"

"Now is not the time to be fighting amongst ourselves!" Hermione stopped the two. They made it to the platform.

"Oh,no. Looks like it's not running anymore after all." Selina saw the subway train sitting there.

"I guess we have to take a taxi." Marcella suggested. But the train doors opened.

"What the?!" Selina got startle.

"What's going on?" Luna wasn't sure about anything right now.

"Looks like the enemy is inviting us in. Just what I like to see!" Marcella walked into the train, but the other three were trying to stop her from going in. In the end, they all ended up in the train. The door shut closed and the train started to move. From where they left, it was a long way before they can get to the airport. It would probably take them an hour or so to get to Howard Beach. The girls sat there, twiddling their thumbs as they wait for their stop.

"I feel like we're walking further and further into the enemy's trap." Luna mentioned as she starts to get anxious of the situation. When they finally arrived at the airport, they hide into a corner to be avoid of being seen by cops.

"Wow, there are so many police officers." Selina commented.

"It seems like nothing has happened yet." Marcella observed.

"We should stay alert." Hermione pointed out. Marcella had her paranoia tingled, she turned and saw two cops behind Selina and Hermione.

"Behind you!" The two turn and couldn't believe what they were seeing. The two cops took out their batons and gave them a swing at the girls.

"This can't be right!" Hermione mentioned. Marcella kicked one of the cops arm making him drop the baton and Luna did a high kick on the other on his head but result of the impact where odd. The cop's head burst into dirt, making a mess on Luna's shoe.

"They're not real! They're made out of dirt! Lets play dirty shall we girls?" Luna was relived.

"I guess this is the only time when we can beat up cops." Selina joked.

"It seems that way, but there's to many of them to take on. We need to run. This way! Hurry!" Marcella took the lead and the rest followed.

"I hate this! I can't believe I'm being chased by New York's finest! Hey! Wait up!" Selina of course complained.
