The Guardians of the worlds between
Part five: The Escaflown Guardian
Carmella walked around town, the day was getting to quit for the noisy town Carmella had spent six years getting used to. People were beginning to get wary of her and Carmella could tell people were staring at her. She could not figure it out either. She looked around even felt around with her mind. Her mind told her that nothing was amiss.
Carmella the designated to contact Midori. There were two Jethie's now so she called them J fire and, J love so as not to confuse them with each other.
~ J Fire how are things were you are? People are acting strange hear were I am. It is as if they're afraid of me. ~ Carmella sent out. Midori then sent back with her.
~ You too? I am getting the feeling that your little theory is coming true. Their eyes just show a seance of . . . I do not know fear or something. I can not tell really. ~
Carmella then felt around for J love, confirming her felling. All awaken guardians were being watched. J love then told them that she could feel a guardian near her. Carmella and J fire then found a privet place to go and teleported over. The girl was alone and no one seemed to want to be around her at all. Carmella, J fire and J love then went over and sat with her.
"Hi there, what may I ask is your name?" Carmella's cheerful voice asked. The girl looked as if she had been shocked, but answered nicely.
"Liel, my name is Liel." Her saddened tone said, trying to hide the pain in a forced cheerfulness. However, her hazel eyes told nothing but the truth. The people around the small group would look then get a strange look in their eyes. Soon after they would rush away, as if they had been at gunpoint.
J love, picked up on this quite easy. Looking to Carmella and J Fire with a small smile playing on her face, they then told her they would see her again that night, after giving her a hug each. Marking her also, with their respective ruing lady powers, tracking her would be easier with their marks.
Shatar, Midori and Sei flew threw the realms. Tracking the new Guardian hopeful, the girl had sent off warm vibes. They had then determined that she was the ruling lady of earth, possibly the Protector of Lady Liel of the Escaflown realm.
The name had just stuck to Sei's mind. She had told them to be ready that night as they traced Liel threw the realms. They were all at half power, Shatar in her Sub-armor and cloak, Midori in her mall
(Chain linked over coverings, Knights used to wear them under their armor)
Over her chest and waist, the mall had no sleeves and no neck it looked more like a small dress that came to a point in the center. Sei on the other hand was in her fully transformed gear. The staff in her tight grip ready for a fight at any moment.
They then landed in and open field, the ground showing signs of a huge battle. The ground was ripped up and, blown up in many areas. Though sounds of yet more battle could be heard in the not to far off distance.
Shatar then ran over, feeling their target over there. They found what normally would have not bothered them. Liel was watching the fight, much like most dreamers do. However, being the protector of a guardian, that was not good. Shatar then felt a pang of fear, to have a guardian fight her or his natural instances to fight meant, they were so far asleep their memories and instinks were suspend like their powers, or they could not feel them.
"Guys waking Lady Liel may show to be a challenge. How are we going to do this?" Shatar said. Sei then thought for a minuet then looked over to Liel.
"If we can heighten each others powers when around on another. Maybe our attacks will wake up the powers within her, to help her survive the attack."
Midori then scoffed it "Ya and how is that? The powers are probably so asleep, that they would not help much so that idea is out. I am not going to attack a fellow Guardian in less I have to. I mean can she not, just call her. I mean Carmella's wish called Shatar of War, did it not?" Midori then looked to Shatar. Shatar smiled and gloped Midori (Gloped= A hug and fall all in one, can have varied variations of this move.)
"GEANUIS!!!!" Shatar cried out. Shatar then motioned them to fallow after her. They ran up to Liel with smiles. Apparently, she had been waiting for them. It seemed that even in their guardian forms she recognized them.
"You guys made it that is good. What is it you wanted?" Liel said as if she had known all a long. Shatar, Midori and Sei's jaw dropped open. Sei then rolled her eyes with a big smile.
"You knew what we were before you saw us didn't you?" Sei's voice teased. Liel's face valted; "You guys . . . are the ones that destroyed the soul demons right? I watched you destroy the ones in the Sailor moon realm. I have been waiting for a while now. I do not know how to merge with my guardian. I can use my powers just; my guardian can not seem to remember how. She survived the last attack and has told me of it, Shatar took the worst of it I fear, his attack is not going to be the same."
Shatar smiled, as she stood tall. She drew out her nagata and looked to Midori. "I think we can think of one way, our attacks should force the merger between you two. After you summand her to you. My attack will force her to fuse to your form, in both this world and the one of realty. Then Midori's will complete it; our attacks should be at about half strength for this. Then if al else Sei's will bring the two of you into one mind body and soul . . . well maybe not soul but everything else." Shatar then closed her eyes and the orb between the blades of her nagata. Midori then continued as if they were on the same thought wave.
Midori then smiled charging hers up, "This should be a adrenaline rush if anything to you. Our powers can not harm others like us so your pretty much safe."
Shatar's circle of blood then turned to a light indigo as she readied it. Midori soon followed.
"Go a head summon Lady Liel of the Escaflown realm, will be ready." Midori called out.
Liel smiled as she began, "Lady of the Escaflown universe, I call to you with my power of earth. As your protector that I am, I call you to this, my out stretched hands. COME TO ME LADY LIEL, GUARDIAN OF THE ESCAFLOWN REALM!"
After that, bright silver light formed before her. The hands touching Liel's and forming the body of the guardian, of which was summand. The body had on a strange out fit on it. It was like a body suit with armored shoulders. The armor was deep and rich silver; the rest of the suit was a bright white with light silver gloves and boots, which went to the knee. That was finished by a set of flaps that covered her waist, to a point. They were a waved pattern of white, silver and a deep rich black.
Shatar was first with her attack. Before hand after the body had finished forming, Liel swung her around so her back touched Liel's chest. They then opened hands, were one's palms were touching the back of the others.
"Loves Heart SHATTER!" Shatar screamed and cut lose with her attack. The power surrounded Liel's body and the body of the guardian. The power forced their forced to merge into one. After the attack was done, the body that stood before them was a mixed one. Parts looked like Lady Liel and others Liel. Then Midori let lose her.
"Dragons immortal soul FIRE!" Midori screamed, as she cut threw the air. The fire was a deep green as it surrounded Liel/Lady Liel's body. The fire consumed the mixed form, smoothed out, and fixed the look.
Lady Liel then smiled, as she looked up after the fire had slowly gone out. Lady Liel's eyes were closed her breathing slow and calm. Then after a few seconds, they opened to reveal a new color in them. Before they had been a soft green now they, were a mix of green with dark silver running threw them. Then the newest thing was her hair turned into a rich red. However they could not move, so Sei used hers.
"Soul's Cry SURROUND!" Sei cried out. The power that left her staff was a bright yellow and had in it small harts and circles that floated around the body they had attacked. The power seemed more gentle then the last two. It held and seemed to pore onto the mixed form of Lady Liel and Liel. Tell the power disappeared. The eyes opened and a smile played on Lady Liel's face. Before her two swords floated, waiting for her to hold them.
"This is what it feels like to be a guardian. I feel so . . . I can not find the words." Lady Liel said with tears playing down her face.
That was all cut short, as their minds then screamed with the presence of a soul demon. The four of them looked around and readied their weapons. Then a form shaped before them. Lady Liel and Shatar winced in pain, as their minds flooded with pain.
"I see you have woken on if the elemental, good now I can destroy them all." The voice seemed familiar and Sei knew just who it was.
"You the soul demon from last night!" Sei was glaring as if she knew what had happened but could not say at that time. Her memories of Sei were clear enough she already knew.
"What have you done to Tempus to make his grip on the key to the gates loosen!" Sei demanded her voice almost a deep growl.
The soul demon then finished his forming. The body was taller then Shatar and held wings on the back. The outfit was a plane white with a Roman key pattern, playing on the edges. The waist then was made of four sections that were held at the top of the waist, then as they went down they separated and flared out. His top was a long sleeve shirt that had a high color to it. There also was an over lay on it. It V'ed out from the waist and was a see threw silk like fabric. The over lay also held on it a chest plate, which held a small symbol on it.
The symbol was a yen yang. On side an aquamarine while the other a space blue. In the middle a round orb was held, it was a bright mix of indigo and aquamarine. That showed Shatar what she needed to know.
Shatar had feared that a guardian could be taken over, if their ruling lady or lord did not know of them. The power necessary to fight one out of a body of a guardian was enormous and required the ruling lord or lady to be awake. To give all there dream energy to the guardian in need of it.
The soul demon then chuckled as it answered the voice a mix of someone's Carmella knew and the soul demons.
"Lets just say I caught him sleeping. That pathetic excuse of a guardian was too easy. I ambushed him and, when I had a hold on him." A smile played on the face of the possessed guardian. "I absorbed the others that were with me. They never saw it coming, now I can live forever. Not even with the soon coming death of his ruling lord can stop me. I will live in both worlds and grow stronger with every other soul demon I absorb."
Shatar then fell to her knees, "No" her voice whispered, "No you can't have Gordon is too strong to let that happen. I know he is." Her voice sounded weak and, likes that of a child.
The soul demon grinned at that, "You know as well as I do, that human will die in three weeks if I am not defeated. I can tell you his last breath will come sooner then that. I will make shirr of it. Not even his power of the sea can stop what I have in mind." With that the body before them vanished and Shatar held her nagata in a tight grip.
Lady Liel then sprang into action.
"Everyone hold Sei staff now!" She said holding a small portion of the staff as well as Sei. Shatar and Midori quickly followed suit.
Lady Liel then stated the incantation.
"I the ruler of earth command that the forces of the land protect the ruler of the guardian Tempus, hold a shield over his form. Protect him from evil were ever it may swarm. Send his power over the Sea, power charge and protect him from what ever evil may be."
After that, Sei did her part in the spell.
"I the ruler of love command hold and cradle the ruling lord and protector of Tempus. Great and powerful sea, give him the power to fend of the soul demon and protect him from the Guardian!"
After that Midori started, the orb at the top was glowing brightly, almost blinding in its power.
"I the ruler of fire, this I send a circle of fire. Protect the ruler of the sea and protector of Tempus; prevent his form from any harm. Hold him and protect him from any and all harm!"
Shatar had tears in her eyes as she started. Hers was going to be the hardest. Death was already on its way to him.
"I the ruler of death command, let not one evil thing touch my love Gordon. I command that death may not touch his form or mind, let his final breath not come intel the sea sees it is time!"
With that the orb shimmered and the area was filled with light.
England, Chelmsford Essexs.
Saint Peter's hospital. Room 059
The room was empty save it be the life support equipment that monitored him. The man that lay in the bed was breathing softly in his deep sleep. Th heart monitor was softly beeping to his pules. There was an IV in his arms and more equipment monitoring his other systems. The blond hair was about shoulder long and the roots were darker then the rest of it. His face was and calm and angelic, the white skin was glowing with the soft moonlight.
The room seemed to flow with life as four lights entered it. Silver light that went to his body, forming a blanket over his whole form. Then a green one, it went strait to the floor, making a circle around the bed and equipment. Then a soft yellow light that seemed to hold and cradle his body. Finally an indigo light came and went both to the circle on the floor and the four posts of his bed. They glowed and made small dots on the posts. After a moment the heart monitor beeped stronger and the other monitors were getting stronger.
Then the sound of people coming in was heard, as the light died down.
Three Dr.'s and two nurse's came in and then checked over him. They held up clipboards and wrote everything down. Take his pulse and ripping off the sheet that had the records of his the functions on it.
"Dr. how is this possible? He has been in a coma for three weeks, getting worse. What made him suddenly get so much better? He is almost in the normal waking progression.
To be continued . . .
