Ok heres chapter six hope you enjoy.
Chapter 6: all change.
Metamoor.
Phobos sat in his throne impatiently tapping his long nailed fingers on the arm rests. The end to his guardian problem was finally in sight and Phobos was impatient to see his plan reach its fruition.
Cedric marched into his "lords presence in his human form and bowed before his Prince. He was followed closely by three figures wearing black hooded robes. Each stood next to one another behind Cedric awaiting their orders. The three each stood about eight foot tall. The one on the right had large stone forearms and fists. The one on the left had skinny forearms with sharp pointed blade like fingers. The visible skinny was like glass and a frosty cold air was constantly emanating from its body. The middle one had long forearms coming out his sleeves however unlike his two companions he had on either side of the belt wrapped around his waist two large katana swords each one roughly a meter in length.
"My lord may I present you the three Sentinels of rock steel and ice." Cedric announced gesturing to each of the three sentinels in turn.
"It is an honour to be in your service once again lord Phobos". The steel Sentinel announced in a mechanical sounding voice.
"How may we be of service to you?"
Phobos stood up from his throne and raised his hands, which began glowing with dark energy he then threw the dark energy to the floor in front of Cedric and the three sentinels. An image of five girls appeared on the floor and the sentinels each took in the five faces.
"These five girls are the guardians of the veil. "They, are the one thing preventing me from conquering earth. I command you to destroy the guardians." Phobos snarled. The image of the five girls disappeared and Phobos hands again began to spark with dark energy. "This time aiming at the wall behind the Sentinels and Cedric. A dark blue energy field appeared and quickly turned into a swirling whirlpool like phenomenon with a black centre.
"Now go! And do not fail me." Phobos cried.
"We will not I assure you my lord." The steel sentinel declared has his two companions entered the portal. The steel sentinel followed after them. And the portal closed leaving the throne room in its normal state of deathly silence.
Heatherfield.
Cornelia sat in her room staring into the beautiful jewel that was the heart of Candracar. "It had been given to her by the Guardians now ex-leader Will Vandom the former keeper of the heart and with power over the element energy.
"Will." Cornelia sighed. How could she have left them like this? Especially after what had happened to Taranee. Cornelia had been contemplating her new position has leader of guardians of the veil. Will and Cornelia hadn't exactly parted on the best of terms but even so she still considered Will her friend and it meant a lot to Cornelia that she felt she could trust her with such an important responsibility.
Still… she could only pray that Wills decision to leave the group would ultimately prove to be a temporary one…
Cornelia was interrupted from her train of thoughts when her mobile start ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey Cor its Irma are you coming down to practice this afternoon?"
"Yeah we'll meet in "lets say an hour?" Cornelia suggested.
"Sounds good I'll tell Hay-lin and Will-." Irma stopped mid sentence and went silence.
"Have you heard anything from her?" Cornelia asked hopefully.
"No." Irma sighed.
"B-but I'm sure she'll come back soon." Irma said quickly trying to sound has reassuring has possible.
"I hope your right Irma…" Cornelia sighed.
"I hope your right…"
An hour later the three Guardians met under the bridge for their standard practice.
"Ok are we ready?" Cornelia asked trying to sound has confident has possible. Irma and Hay-lin both looked a little glum even though they were trying to support Cornelia in her new role. Cornelia reached into her pocket and pulled out the heart of Candracar. She held it in her palm like she had seen "Will do so many times and attempted to activate the heart.
"Guardians unite!" She called. The three waited a second expecting to transform but nothing happened. The girls all passed dumbfounded looks at each other.
"Err is there like an on/off switch or something?" Hay-lin asked taking the charm and tapping at it testing its surface for any hidden switches.
Maybe the batteries are dead? Irma suggested.
Somehow I doubt this thing uses batteries. Cornelia snapped snatching the heart back off of Hay-lin.
Maybe you just need to concentrate a little harder? Irma suggested.
"Try it again."
Cornelia held the charm in her hand and this time concentrated hard on transforming the three of them.
"Guardians unite!" She called out again. Though it seemed to require an amount of physical effort on Cornelia's part the three girls were enveloped in their respective energy cocoons and transformed into their Guardian forms.
"Ok let's get down to some practice time!" Cornelia yelled.
For the next half hour the group honed on their respective skills. Irma using her water powers for basic target practice and also more tricky manoeuvres like aiming the water through pieces of pipe set up and to fill up bottles set several yards away.
Hay-lin practiced her flying talents. Her element being air meant that her wings were more powerful than the other guardians so she tended to loose control more easily.
Cornelia kept an eye on Hay-lin and Irma to make sure they weren't bringing any unwanted attention their way and also used her earth powers to summon up vines to crush large objects like trash cans and so fourth.
Ok guys I think that's enough for now. Cornelia decided pulling out the heart of Candracar to transform the Guardians back. Hay-lin and Irma gathered around Cornelia and waited for her to recall their powers. But before she had a chance a massive jolt of lightning struck the ground inches from were she stood.
The group instinctively backed off and watched has a portal opened only meters away from them. Three tall figures each wearing black hooded robes appeared.
The figure in the middle of the group stepped forward and introduced the group.
"We are the Sentinels of Rock Ice and Steel. We have been sent by Prince Phobos to destroy the Guardians of the veil." The creature stated in a robotic sounding voice.
The Guardians stared in disbelieve and prepared for battle…
Once again chapter 7 will be up in a day or two. Incase your wonder or are new to W.I.T.C.H the Sentinels are my own fan created characters. I took the idea off of Pokemon ruby/sapphire which features three Pokemon known has the Regis (registeel, regice and regirock) each of which is a sort of living statue like Pokemon. Hope you like em. if they go down well and with time on my side I intend to create a sequel fic focusing directly on the Sentinels.
