I'm back with another chapter. I noticed I haven't been getting any reviews recently. Even if this has gone bad please let me know and free me ignorance. Anyway on to chapter 22:

Chapter 22: sewer diving.

"Heatherfield behind the mall.

The guardians stood waiting over the 'portal which happened to be positioned directly over a sewer manhole cover. Caleb and the four Guardians were missing only one member to complete their team. Unfortunately without this said member their was no 'team' per say just four teenage girls and an over confident adventurer. Once again Will Vandom was running late.

Without Will the Guardians had no leader and no powers because when they were Guardians the girls four respective elements water for Irma fire for Taranee earth for Cornelia and finally air for Hay-lin rested in the heart of Candracar which Will carried within her.

The assumption was that it dissolved into energy and merged with wills natural energy or soul/spirit if you like. And that aside the other interpretation of the term was a rather a disgusting one at best!

"I wonder what's keeping Will?" Taranee thought out loud. Has if in answer to her question her red headed friend made her entrance. What exactly had kept her no one was sure but she didn't seem to be in the best of moods.

"Well you took your time didn't you? I thought we agreed we were leaving at eight," Irma said in a mock strict voice.

"Sorry couldn't be helped my astral drop was on the blink again," Will replied.

"It tried to follow me here twice! It's hard enough sneaking out of the apartment without having to do it in stereo! She explained.

"Did you guys set up your doubles okay? Will asked.

"Yep, no problem here, mines fine," the others answered. Will groaned again. She had mastered most of her other abilities pretty well but she just couldn't seem to get the knack of creating her astral drop clone.

"Anyway 'lets get started," she said she held her palms in front of her chest and the heart of Candracar materialised floating above her hands.

"Guardians unite!"

Caleb watched the amazing transformation has the five girls were transformed into five young women. He had to shield his eyes because of the intense light but he was almost positive the girls were naked when they changed. The glow faded and he found himself staring at the five newly transformed Guardians. Before coming to earth Caleb had never seen girls quite like this (especially not with the wings) so he found he had to mentally slap himself a bit to make sure he didn't stare to hard. Luckily the girls seemed oblivious to this or maybe they just ignored it. He then remembered what Irma had said the other day about him staring at their butts. Did he stare? He spent a lot of time chasing the girls through corridors and such on meridian so it was possible his eye, sight had lined up that way on occasion.

"Caleb? Caleb!" Will yelled.

"Huh?" Caleb said snapping back into reality.

"At last I thought you were gonna start drooling for a minute! Will sighed.

"C'mon lets go already,"

"Right," Caleb answered. He was going have to watch were his eyes wandered from now on!

Metamoor.

A portal in the Metamoorian sewer system sliced a scar in reality has it deposited its six travellers. The Guardians stood up in a disgusted fashion wiping away whatever vile substance was ruining their Guardian outfits.

"Can't we have one just one visit to Metamoor were we don't either have a hard landing or land in some foul smelling disgusting goo?" Taranee complained. Here eyes were squeezed shut as if she were trying to will the foul liquid substance away.

The Guardians made their way onto a raised platform and stared down at their ruined outfits.

"Oh man! I hate when my outfit gets ruined like this!" Cornelia groaned. Will sighed at her typical response though she had to admit if not for the whole secret identity thing she would definitely wear her guardian attire more often. She felt so proud and confident in it and she loved the free flowing sleeves though right now she'd gladly trade for anything that didn't 'wreak of sewage waste.

I think I can fix this," Irma said pointing a now sparkling index finger into the air. The sparkle flowed over the girls who watched in amazement has they fell around them like miniature falling stars taking with them the filth and grime that had been soaked into their costumes leaving them looking and feeling brand new.

"Wow that was great," Hay-lin said admiring her now sparkly outfit.

"You can do our laundry any time!" Hay-lin giggled.

"What do I look like washing machine?" Irma said in mock anger.

"Can we get going now?" Caleb snapped.

"Ooh! Aren't we grumpy?" Irma taunted.

"I just wanna get move a on before we run into one of Phobos's…" "Caleb was interrupted by a powerful roar that seemed to shake tunnel. A strange sound could be heard like knives scratching on stone. And soon a massive spider like creature with what appeared to be a humanoid upper body emerged from the shadows.

"Pets," Caleb finally finished has the Guardians stared in shock at the creature before them.

We're nearing the end now, Chapter 23 will be up tomorrow.
