Protectors of the Realm
in Sibling Rivalry
At the castle, the Protectors and Mysticons are searching information to free Magnus.
"Have you found anything yet?" asked Mike.
"No. Nothing here." said Arkayna.
"Hey guys, I think I found it." called Zeke. And the others checked it out. "It says here, that if a mage became ill and couldn't control it's magic, they'll be concealed in a crystal." he said.
"Well is there a spell to free him?" asked Mike.
"Yeah. But there aren't any spell books or scrolls, since the end of magic in Power City a few years ago." he said.
"Well, what're we gonna do now?" questioned Zarya.
Then the others spotted Dillon watching t.v. instead of helping them find a spell book.
"How do you like that. We're trying to find a counter spell, while you're watching t.v." said Tom.
"Hwy. Who needs books when you have a t.v. This is much better than to find a book." said Dillon.
But the channel changed to the news on Drake City.
"I'm here in front of the Royal Palace, where the young royals have new and powerful allies." said Serena.
And just as they're watching the news they spotted Robert, Tom's twin brother.
"Is that, Robert?" said Sienna in shock.
"You mean they bailed him out." said Dillon.
"Gawayne!" Arkayna hissed.
"I'm way ahead of you, Arkayna." said Tom.
So the heroes are watching the news, and then the Protectors saw something or someone in shock.
"Are those..." said Dillon.
"Oh, no." said Mike
Then the footage shows for grown men standing side by side with the Five Princes' and Gawayne.
One man has dark brown hair, wearing a gray shirt with stripes on the sleeves, blue jeans, and sneakers, and his name is Phillip Stonewall.
The other has slim blue hair, wearing a purplish blue hoodie, dark pants, and brown shoes, and his name is Angus Sunflower.
A goblin has spiked black hair, wearing a light green shirt with an orange leather jacket with spikes on the shoulders, red pants, and hiking bootsm and his name is Claude Winters.
And a dryad has green hair, wearing a blue short sleeved shirt, white fingerless gloves, blue pants, and yellow shoes, and his name is Kevin Venus.
"Do you, know those guys?" asked Piper in confusion.
"Yes." Zeke squeaked in agreement.
"Who are they?" questioned Emerald.
"Our older brothers." said Mike in shivers.
They Mysticons saw that they're a little shaky when they saw them on the news.
"Why are you guys afraid of them?" questioned Arkayna.
"Because they torment us, they always torment us!" said Mike.
"Yeah. I'm with you, living with our stepbrother is a bother to me too." she said.
So the Mysticons and the Protectors kept on watching the news to see what happens next.
"Now why would you hire those men to be your bodyguards?" asked Serena.
"Ever since that Astromancer went crazy. We decided to hire bodyguards that'll protect us and the Realm." said Steven.
"Mr. Stonewall, do you think, that you can defeat the Protectors?" she asked.
"Yes. Soon enough, we will defeat the Protectors. Even if it meant destroying the Realm." said Phillip, which causes the Five Princes' and Gawayne to smile nervously.
"So, uh. Yeah, they're gonna capture the Protectors so that's all for today." John chuckled nervously.
The others were disturbed that that they watched that and turned it off.
"Hah! Even if it meant destroying the Realm, that's ridiculous." Tom laughed.
"Yeah, I guess they're not as scary as they used to." Dillon chuckled.
Later that night, the heroes are getting exhausted on searching for the counter spell."
"Guy. It's getting late, we've been locking for that spell for hours." said Arkayna.
"Yeah, you're right. Maybe we could find it tomorrow, night girls." said Mike.
"Goodnight Protectors, goodnight Mysticons, goodnight." Piper sang.
"Goodnight, guys." said Arkayna, as they headed back to Drake City.
"Night guys." said Mike as he headed to his room.
"Night." then the other Protectors went to their rooms for a goodnight sleep.
But then once the castle is quiet, someone sneaked in, looking for something.
The next morning, the Protectors went to the throne room, and to their shock. The books have been scattered all over the place.
"What happened to this place!" yelled Mike.
"Maybe, there were burglars?" said Zeke.
"Burglars is right." they looked up and saw the Mysticons.
"Someone was trying to rob us as well." said Arkayna.
"Well, who could it be? Zeke got any clues?" said Mike as he turned.
"Yeah. I've found fingerprints." said Zeke.
Later, Tom is analyzing the data on the fingerprints, and a couple of times, he got it.
"I found a match guys." said Tom.
"Well who are they?" questioned Mike.
Then the data shows that the matched fingerprints belonged to. Are their older brothers, much to their shock.
"Our brothers!" said Sienna in shock.
"But, why would they rob you?" asked Arkayna.
"I think I have a suggestion." said Zeke. Then the others soon followed him, and showed them a footage from last night. "It appears that they're trying to find a book, and that book they stole is the Shadow of Darkness." he said.
"What's the Shadow of Darkness?" asked Dillon.
"It's a book filled with evil spells that could cause a cataclysmic event that will endanger the Realm." exclaimed Emerald.
"Wait, they weren't kidding about destroying the Realm." replied Tom.
"I guess you're right." said Mike.
"Let's go guys, it's magic hour!" said Arkayna.
Meanwhile at the Astromancer Academy, the Protectors and Mysticons begged the Astromancers for their help.
"Why would you need our help, when you have you're friends?" questioned Proxima.
"I know, but we really need your help, Proxima." exclaimed Arkayna.
"Yeah. And do you know anything about the Shadow of Darkness?" asked Mike.
"Well. The Shadow of Darkness is a dangerous book since the age of magic, that could create powerful earthquakes, high-level tsunamis, and mighty tornadoes. But they need the ingredients like the fake Dragon Disc that you've created to cast the spell." she explained.
"Well, I don't need a panic, but the bodyguards that the young royals hired stole it." said Tom.
"What!" yelled Proxima in shock.
"And I think that they have the ingredients right about now." said Sienna.
"They have the book. We must stop them!" said Gandobi.
"Then stop'em, we must." said Zeke.
Meanwhile at the Royal Palace, the young royal's are having a snack, and Phillip and his men came in.
"Oh! You're here. Want a snack?" John said.
"No thank you. We have the ingredients to defeat the Protectors." said Phillip.
"Oh, and what are the ingredients?" questioned Marcus.
"These ingredients are from the dangerous places in Gemina." explained Kevin.
"All we need is a dragon scale from a volcano, evil will be no more." said Claude.
But suddenly. The doors burst opened and the Protectors, the Mysticons, and the Astromancers came in.
"The Protectors of the Realm!" cried William.
"With the Mysticons?" questioned Steven.
"And the Astromancers?" Marcus said in confusion.
"Hold it right there guard dorks!" yelled Mike.
"Give us the book now!" yelled Arkayna.
"Never! Once we have the dragon scale, King Brax will be destroyed." exclaimed Phillip.
"But it will also destroy half of the Realm." warned Proxima. Much to the teenage royals shock.
"Oh, yeah. Well let's see the future generations can say about it." smirked Phillip.
Mike and Arkayna charged at them. But Phillip blasted at them. Gandobi and Quasarla fired magic at them, but Kevin controlled a nearby tree and wrapped them up.
Zarya and Emerald kept fighting Angus. But he kept dodging their attacks.
"Miss me, miss me, now you gotta kiss me, Mysticons." taunt Angus and he breathed fire, and they dodged it.
Proxima and Zeke fired magical blasts but Claude stomped the ground causing everyone to shake, and fell down.
And they escaped with the book.
"They've escaped!" yelled Gandobi in shock.
"Don't worry. All we have to do is follow them." said Piper.
"Yeah, but where are they going?" asked Zeke.
"Well I heard them a little, they say something about a dragon and a volcano." said Mike.
"There gonna find the dragon scales in the volcano." said Proxima in horror.
Meanwhile they made it to the volcano, and Mike spotted the guards with a telescope.
"I found them. They're heading inside." said Mike.
"Then let's stop them." said Arkayna, but they were stopped by Gandobi.
"You are all staying here." said Gandobi.
"He's right, only Protector Knight can go in." exclaimed Proxima.
"Me! I never fought on my own before." explained Mike.
"Don't worry, all you need to do is stop them from getting the scales." she said.
"Alright, on my own it is then." said Mike.
"Good luck, dude." said Dillon as he and the others saluted him.
"Protector Knight. Be careful." said Sienna and he embraced him. Shocked at first but he hugged her back.
"O.k. Here I go." said Mike, and he jumped off the ship and headed to the volcano.
Inside the volcano Mike sneaked around trying to find Phillip and his friends. Then he spotted them, they found the dragon scales to create the spell.
"All right we found the scales. And once we use the spell we'll be the famed people in the Realm." said Phillip.
"More like destroyer." said Mike. Then they turned and spotted Mike landing on the ground.
They charged to attack but Mike kept dodging them, he was so afraid of them he can't fight.
"Losing you're lunch Protector Knight!" said Phillip, and Mike dodged his punch. Claude picked up a boulder and threw it at him, but Mike jumped away.
"So much on having good friends." mocked Kevin.
But this, this made Mike mad. He got back up and drew out his sword.
"I have good friends." said Mike and they turned. "Friends who supported me, rely on me, protect me. I made a promise to protect the Realm from evil, and I'm starting to enjoy it." he said.
Mike then charged, the guards try to fight him but he fought back. He side kicked Angus, then he levitated Claude and threw him at Robert.
Kevin tried to tackle him but Mike jumped. Then Phillip tried to blast him, but Mike kept blocking them. He grabbed the ingredients and threw them in the lava and blasted the book disintegrating it.
"No!" yelled Phillip in shock. Due to the ingredients in the lava, the volcano started to shake.
"This place is gonna blow!" yelled Robert. So they guards escaped, so did Mike.
Outside of the volcano, everyone is waiting. And then Arkayna spotted Mike coming out of the volcano.
"I see him!" Arkayna shouted. And then the volcano exploded with little rubble coming down.
"That was close, man." said Zeke.
"What happened to the others?" asked Dillon.
"I think they got away." gestured Mike.
Just then they came out of the ground, and are furious that they ruined their plan.
"You ruined everything! We're gonna give you a curse, you'll never forget!" said Phillip, and he grabbed a few dragon scales and covering them with magic. "A curse that'll turn you permanently into dragons." he said, and he fired at them.
"Look out!" yelled Emerald and she conjured her shield, and it deflected the magic. And it hit on the guards instead, they started to groan in pain, then suddenly they began growing claws.
But them, Tetrax appeared and grabbed the guards.
"It looks like King Brax will be having more allies then you ever have, Protectors."said Tetrax and he escaped with the guards much to everyone's shock.
"What just happened?" questioned Zeke in confusion.
At King Brax's castle, Tetrax has brought the guards who are sprouting wings.
"Why have you come here?" asked Brax.
"Help us King Brax. Save us so we can continue our plans on the Realm." said Phillip as he's growing fangs.
"There will be a price." said King Brax.
"No price is too great." he said.
"Then, let it be done." Then King Brax covered them in dark magic. And once the smoke is clear, the guards are partially in dragon forms.
They have wings, claws, fangs, pointed ears, and now are wearing black clothing with dragon claws on their torsos.
They looked at their reflection and walked away as Phillip laughed evilly.
