Three Girls
This story is dedicated to the only person I know who has a heart of gold and a talent for the art of story telling. CrimsonFire my friend, you've been there for me when I've needed you and you're always willing to help me out no matter what situation I'm in. So this one is done for you!
Chapter 14: Gone…?
We're not going home, Alex thought as she noticed where they were. They were still on Gaea floating over a huge battle. That's when she saw what was happening on the battlefield. The Zaibach forces were crushing Van's troops. "Guys, we're Gaea's Protectors, right?" Kat asked.
"Yeah," Nicole replied.
"Then if we aren't going home, maybe we're supposed to stop this from happening. I have a feeling that this battle isn't supposed to turn out the way its going come out," Kat suggested.
"Kat's right. I don't think Zaibach is supposed to win. If… well, when they do, then they can easily take over Gaea. As Gaea's Protectors we can't allow that," Alex agreed.
"Then how do we stop this from happening? It's obvious that Gaea wants us to stop this but how?" Nicole asked.
"Guys, take my hands. I think all of us know how to stop this. Just take my hands and relax," Kat ordered. She reached out to Nicole and Alex, who were on either side of her. They held hands forming a circle.
"Close your eyes," Alex ordered. It was as if something inside of her was instructing her what to do next. The girls did as they were told.
"Relax… We won't win this with talent or speed or ability. We'll win it with friendship," she said. Suddenly Kat felt like she had just swallowed a 10-volt battery. She could feel her powers overflowing in her and she knew that Nicole and Alex were feeling the same thing. It was like they were suddenly connected, sensing one another's thoughts and feelings-like they were a part of their mind.
"Powers of the Earth that I command,
Protector of Gaea that I am,
I seek upon thy powers to reform and shape the future!
Bring forth the Time Creature!" Nicole's voice rang out.
Three sets of eyes sprung open all at once and there, in the middle of the circle was a dragon made completely of light. It's eyes spark as it stared at the Protector's of Gaea. "Powers of the Dark Moon that I command,
Protector of Gaea that I am!
I call upon thee Time Creature to reshape the future!
Make Fanellia win at the cost of Zaibach's greatest warriors!" Kat cried.
"As you wish," the dragon replied in a deep booming voice that echoed around them. Snaking from the middle of the circle it began its work, twisting and turned and zigzagging around in the beam of light trailing behind it a stream of glittering rainbows. Kat, Nicole and Alex watched as Fanellia troops suddenly rushed Zaibach as if a surge of energy had been granted to them.
They watched as the Dragon Slayers fell and Zaibach was almost completely destroyed all in the matter of seconds. Time had been speed up for the course of the battle. Then, the dragon done with snaking around inside the beam of light disappeared and they watched, floating above the scene, as the remainder of Zaibach fled.
Kat was glad to see that Dilandau was still alive and that he was disappearing into the forest. "I love you, never forget that," she whispered to him even though she knew he couldn't hear her. Then the beam of light became brighter, taking them back to their home.
Kat slowly opened her eyes, hoping that she was still in Gaea. But the sight of her room made her heart drop a little. She really hadn't wanted to come back to Earth, but she did anyway, and it was sort of a mixed blessing. She rolled over and saw that Nicole and Alex were awake also. All of their magic stuff had disappeared and they were all on the floor, dressed in what they had been in before they had left.
"Kat, we know you loved Dilandau and that he loved you. We also know that you want to go back to him. We're sorry we brought you back-" Nicole began looking at her friend's hurting eyes.
Kat held up a hand, silencing her. "True, I do love him and I do want to be with him, the whole true love crap you know? But I just couldn't stay there! Who would watch out for you guys until we get into college?" She asked with a smile.
Alex and Nicole both jumped on Kat, hugging her. "She's back!" They both exclaimed.
Soon the room was a whirlwind of pillows and screams. Don't worry, Dilandau. I'll be back, Kat swore as she threw a pillow. Until then she could only continue with her life.
