Chapter 50
"Hold it!" Said a voice. Admete looked to where it came from and saw Jovana standing in strong stance. "Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?" Admete stopped the process with frustration. Warren fell to his knees in pain, Jovana ran to him and protect him by standing in front of him.
"If you get in my way, you'll be sorry." Admete mentioned. Jovana charged to the woman and try to give her a punch but miss due to Admete's agility, even gave her a high kick but Admete also dodged it. "What are you doing?" Admete asked rhetorically. Jovana was surprised by the woman's skills.
"You're good." Jovana commented. Admete laughed at her.
"You're barbaric." Jovana charged at her again and threw her fists at Admete but no luck. Jovana bent to the ground and picked up a rock and threw it to Admete's face which she dodged. While giving attention to the rock and not to her opponent, Jovana jumped up and punched Admete's face down hard with her new ring on her right hand. Admete fumble about as she recovered her balance and covered her bruised face. "You scared my beautiful face." Admete growl out. Jovana stood her guard ready to fight.
"Jo!" Selina and Luna finally found Jovana but with company. "What? A fight?" Selina and Luna ran down to the two. Admete disappeared in the distance. "Wait! What's going on?" Selina went over to Warren to tend his needs. Jovana looked around for the woman but couldn't see her, so she then joined Selina.
"Are you okay?" She asked Warren.
"Jo, what happened?" Selina asked. Warren got up aggressively.
"Let go of me!" He yelled out. "Don't come near me!" Warren walked away.
"Well, excuse us." Said Luna under her breathe.
"Is that all he's got to say? What a jerk!" Commented Selina, Jovana got up and followed him. "Jo? What's going on?" Selina didn't understand what was happening.
"I felt something." Luna mentioned.
"Felt what?"
"I felt an evil aura in that woman she was fighting. She might be from the Evil Box group."
"She can't be! Then...Jo is in trouble!" Selina ran for Jovana.
"Wait!" Luna followed. Warren continue to walk the streets as Jovana follows him.
"How long are you going to follow me?" He asked.
"But it looks like somebody is after you. So I'm your bodyguard." Jovana replied with a smile.
"I don't know who'd be after me."
"You picked up too much loot in the crane game and...Bang! Maybe the game arcade owners hired a hit man." Warren laughed at her idea.
"No way."
"Hey, tell me how you do the trick with the crane game." She asked.
"You can't do it." Warren received a shock of pain in his chest.
"What's wrong?" Jovana grew worried. Warren went inside a coffee shop. "Hey!"
"I want to have some coffee by myself." He told her off. He went inside and she stood out. Selina walked up beside Jovana not liking the situation.
"Cold hearted jerk!" Selina commented.
"That's the good part. He really looks like the man whom I loved and was spurned by." Jovana blushed.
"She's totally in girl-in-love mode." Selina whispered to Luna. Warren was seated in the coffee shop but still feeling the shock in his chest. He turned and saw Jovana, Selina and Luna watching him through the window.
"Selina, you don't have to stick around with me." said Jovana feeling guilty for selfishness.
"It's okay." Said Selina while sitting on a mini plot for the public planting. Selina and Jovana turned back to the window and saw the man waving them in. "He wants you to come in. You did it!"
"What should I do?" Jovana got nervous.
"Are you kidding? Come on, come on, come on!" Selina took Jovana by the hand and drag her to the entrance of the coffee shop.
"Hey wait! Wait!"
"I won't wait. Go for it, Jo." Selina pushed her in and stayed out. Jovana walked to Warren's seating area.
"Ummm..."
"Sit down." He told her and she did. "Don't misunderstand. I just got sick of you staring through the window." Jovana hung her head in embarrassment.
"Oh..."
"It's because of a telekinesis power which makes me good at the crane game."
"Telekinesis?"
"I've had this strange power since I was a kid." Warren placed his hand over an ashtray and made it float. Jovana couldn't believe her eyes. "You see? This is my trick with the game. That's why I said that you can't do it." Jovana held the ashtray examining it.
"Isn't that kind of cheating?" Jovana doesn't like what she sees.
"So what? Why not use my powers to my advantage?"
"If you say so. But don't cry to mommy when you get caught." Jovana didn't quite agree with Warren.
"May I help you?" said the person standing by them.
"I'll have a large frappucino. Er, no, just coffee with milk." Jovana looked up to see the waitress and saw who it was, Admete. The two stood up with freight. Admete used some force to push Jovana right against the wall. Warren jumped over the seats and hid in a corner.
"It's her!" Said Luna from outside to Selina. The man tried to crawl to the door when he was stopped by Selina.
"Are you running away, without helping the girl with you?" Selina yelled to him.
"I don't even know her! She just followed me!" He replied with the same tone.
"What? And you call yourself a man?" Luna yelled out also.
"It's none of your business. Besides, that kind of absurdly geeky girl isn't my type." Warren finally admitted as he ran away from the shop. Jovana heard what he said as she recover from the assault. Admete use the force again completely shattered the windows and jumped out of the shop, and jumped rapidly down the streets following Warren.
"She's with the Evil Box group after all." confirm Luna.
"Jo, are you okay? Jo?" Selina went up to Jovana to tend her injuries if any.
"It's the same all over again." Said Jovana.
"Jo?"
"Damn!" Jovana got up quickly and ran after the two. Warren ended up running inside a park but Admete showed in his way stopping on his heels.
"Don't kill me!" Warren begged.
"There's no need to run. You are one of us." Admete reassure him.
"One of you?"
"I will have Iris's Gem." Admete took out the Medieval Sunstone and activate to finish the process. Warren was screaming in pain as Jovana witness what was happening. Admete extracted the Red Iris Gem, she held in her hands. "This is it."
"Hold it!" Said a voice. Jovana looked over who it was.
"Guardian Moon!" she exclaimed. Admete laughed.
"You're a little too late, Guardian Moon."
"Who are you?" Selina demanded.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Admete, one of the four comrades of the Evil Box. Now you will care of her, Spirit Maroon." Admete disappeared in a tornado of petals.
"She disappeared!" Selina looked over to Warren holding himself in pain. A red light circle around him and created a tornado. The tornado vanished appeared a Warren in a different form. He had on a red armor all over him and a full helmet covering his face completely.
"Red!" He yelled out.
"He turned into a monster!" Selina exclaimed. Maroon levitated a boulder from the ground and threw it at Selina. Selina dodged not once, not twice but for times. Selina had to stop to catch her breathe. Maroon showed up behind her ready to crush her. All of the sudden his body was lifted up in the air.
"I'm a big fan of Guardian Moon, what are you doing to her?" Jovana held the man up high above her. A purple symbol appeared on her forehead.
"That..." Luna in her wolf form saw what she saw.
"Why you..." Jovana threw the man to the trees.
"Amazing!" Selina was impressed by Jovana's strength.
"Red!" Maroon popped back up ready to fight. He levitated hydro cables and wrapped it around Selina.
"Look out!" Yelled out Jovana but it was to late. The cables were wrapped tight and electrocuting her.
"I can't move!"
"Guardian Moon!" Jovana was about to run for Selina.
"Wait!" said a voice. Jovana turned to see who was talking to her. All she saw was a black wolf. "You are one of the Guardian Soldiers." Said Luna.
"That dog is talking?!" Jovana got scared.
"That ring on your finger will transform you when you say 'Upon the Rule of Jupiter, Lend me Your Thunder!' Then help Guardian Moon." Luna explained. Jovana looked at her ring not understanding what's going on but she did it anyway. Jovana raised her hand above her and shouted:
"Upon the Rule of Jupiter, Lend Me Your Thunder!" At the end of the chant, the ring started to glow purple, than the light surrounded all around Jovana's body creating a purple sleeveless leotard that covered from her neck to her thighs, making a boy shorts cut in the bottom-half of the leotard. Then the light went to her hands and arms passing her elbows creating long tight purple gloves. The light moved on to her feet and legs creating purple thigh-high boots with wedged heels, then the light traveled to her eyes creating a blue visor. At the crown of her head appeared a tin tiara at the same time her outfit gained neon blue stripes down her gloves, boots and the sides of her body, silver stud earrings and the tin Jupiter symbolized ring all appeared. "Guardian Jupiter!" She yelled out. Selina saw her transformation and was in blank mode.
"Jo...Jo is..." Selina couldn't even speak. Maroon brought more hydro cables aimed and attack Jovana. Jovana jumped up in the air dodging the cables. Jovana raised her ringed right hand above the cables, electricity came out of the cables and down to her arm even her blue stripes where glowing like neon lights. "Tin Strike, Crash!" Jovana aimed her right hand to the enemy and a beam of lightening rushed through her arm and jumped to Maroon and his cables, turning them to dust.
"RED!" He screamed out in pain. Selina was free and amazed.
"Are you wearing something from TRON?!" She had to ask, Jovana didn't listen but continue to fight.
"Okay, one more time!" Jovana was ready to strike again but was stopped.
"Don't! That man still has a human heart. He was originally human." Luna explained.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Selina asked in panic.
"Heal him!"
"How do we do that?" Luna grabbed Selina's discus threw it into the air and howled at it. The moon's light from the sky shone onto the discus and transformed it's appearance. Instead of a plain silver discus, it had white engravings going around the disc and it also shimmered. "What did you do to the disk?!" Selina grabbed the disk and examine it.
"It's the Healing Disk. Say 'White Moon, Heal My Aim!'" Luna explained. Selina confirmed. Selina twirled the discus with her fingers a couple times and formed a moon shaped aura around her surroundings. "White Moon, Heal My Aim!" Selina threw the discus at the enemy but instead hitting him, it hovered over him and shone a shimmering white light over him. The light vanished and Warren was his original self but unconscious. The discus came flying back to Selina's hands.
"You are the fourth warrior, Guardian Jupiter." Luna mentioned.
"Guardian Jupiter?" Jovana turned to Luna.
"Guardian Moon, now four Guardians are assembled. You must be the leader to find and protect this person who holds the Moonstone.
"Me, the leader?" Selina freaked out a bit.
"Yes. The Silver Moon Discus as been upgraded to the White Moon Discus, and this weapon is only in the hands of the rightful leader." Luna explained. Selina looked at her new weapon closely.
The next day, they were back at the Arcade Cafe, Jovana playing and yelling at the games while Selina and Luna watches her lash out here and there. "Come on, come on, come on, come on...You punks...You punks are so..." Jovana's avatar dies. "Crap! Fine! One more time!" Jovana put in another token and started to play again.
"Hi, Selina. Hey, Luna." Greeted Wilbur as he saw Selina and Luna standing about.
"Oh, Wilbur."
"I heard that Crane Master Warren was here. I wish I'd been here to see him."
"Really? Oh, let me introduce you to my new friend. She's Jovana Meallan." Selina exposed Jovana.
"Hello." Said Wilbur. Jovana look up to him and blushed immediately.
"He's exactly like the man whom I loved and was spurned by." Jovana responded. Selina and Luna felt like they been by a wrecking ball.
"Yesterday you said that Crane Master Warren was just like him!" Selina complained.
"His voice is just like him." Jovana admitted. Selina gave up.
"Honestly, Jo, you're..."
"...a strange girl." Luna finished Selina's sentence.
