Heres chapter 9 I'm actually really close to finishing this fic so the last couple of chapters will be up pretty soon
Chapter 9: preparationsCaleb "laid lazily across the sofa of his small apartment. His eyes analysing a "book titled urban street slang to modern day English, which was held over his head. His apartment was in its typical state of decay. The coffee table littered with leftovers from Chinese, pizza, and whatever else he had discovered to be worthy food, stuffs. He had tried his hand at cooking once but in the process had set fire to his frying pan which in turn set off a strange shrieking noise in his apartment which in turn shortly after had ended with a strange group of warriors dressed in black and yellow wearing yellow helmets coming to his apartment.
Thankfully Will had shown Caleb a few places in the phone book that did deliveries otherwise he might have starved to death by now.
"Yo-word-up-dog. Hows-it-hang-ing?" Caleb worded from his book. In all honesty he wasn't entirely sure what the phrase meant until he read the section underneath which read: hello. How are you today?
Suddenly he jumped off of his sofa, has a strange "high pitched ringing noise assaulted his ears. He remembered this noise. It was the "mobile" that Will had given to him a few weeks back. He retrieved the contraption from his pocket and held it to his ear.
"Hello?" His response was another high, pitched ringing noise right in his ear. Caleb moved, the phone away from his ear and examined the glowing screen. After a moment he pressed the green button and held the phone to his ear again.
"Hello?" He repeated bracing himself for another ringing noise to assault his ear.
"Caleb? Its Will I need you to come around to my place ASAP we got a Metamoor related problem."
"I'll be right over." Caleb responded.
"Um, what does ASAP mean though?" He added in a confused voice.
"Just hurry!" Will yelled into the phone.
"All right all ready!" he grumbled to now disconnected phone.
Half an hour later Caleb arrived at the Vandom's apartment to find Will and Irma. The two seemed extremely edgy over something.
"So what's up, something to with Metamoor? Is Cedric up to his old tricks again? "Were are the others shouldn't they be here to?"
Irma and Will both lowered their heads at the mention of their friends. A look of shock appeared on Caleb's face has the unthinkable occurred to him.
"No… Cornelia!" He clenched his fist tightly his eyes squeezed tightly shut has he tried to suppress the tears. After a moment he looked up and asked:
"How?"
"Something new," Irma explained.
"Something we never encountered before. Their was three of them they called themselves the Sentinels. Ring any bells?"
"The Sentinels," Caleb repeated carefully.
"I always thought they were just a myth." He finally responded.
"Oh trust me they're very real." Irma explained.
"What do you know about them?" She pressed.
"Just that their, really strong and fast, supposedly unbeatable. According to the myths Phobos created the Sentinels to destroy the guardians of the veil," Caleb explained his voice trailing off.
"Anything about how we can stop them?" Will asked.
"No…" Caleb replied.
"According to rumours the Sentinels required vast amounts of Phobos own energy to activate, so he could only keep them awake for brief periods before they had to return to their dormant states, unless he was to find another way to power them of course."
"Hey that reminds me!" Irma snapped. She pulled out the heart of Candracar and handed it over to Will.
"Cornelia through this over to me before… you know." Irma explained her brief excitement now settling down.
"Why did Cornelia have the heart in the first place I thought you were its keeper Will?" Caleb asked confused.
Will took the heart from Irma and explained about Taranee to Caleb. After the story was over he simply sat with the two girls their heads hung low.
"Wow." Caleb finally breathed.
"I had no idea."
"So what we do now?"
"Simple." Will answered.
"We find these Sentinel creeps and we send them back Phobos in a gift package."
Irma and Caleb stared at Will with dumbfound looks on each "others faces.
"How do we that exactly?" Irma asked confused.
"These butchered things butchered us seconds and you want rush in for our turn now?"
"Don't worry," Will reassured her.
"I got a plan."
"Uh oh," Caleb and Irma gulped.
