Chapter 8-Elyon is Found

"Uuummm…where are we?" asked Irma.

"Good question", said Will. "This sure isn't Meridian"

"No kidding", said Cornelia. They were in a very weird place indeed. It looked like someone had dropped a can of white paint all around them. They were all very quiet for awhile.

"Take a look around", said Will finally. "See what you can find"

"Right", said Irma. "What are we looking for?"

"Elyon?" Cornelia guessed.

"Yea something like that", said Will. "Don't split up to much. Stay close together"

They were looking for about two seconds when Taranee cried, "Look!'

The others looked over at Taranee, and then looked in the direction Taranee was pointing. It was Elyon. She was in a greenish sort of bubble.

"Elyon!" Cornelia yelled. She took flight and flew toward her unconscious friend.

"Cornelia wait!" yelled Taranee. Suddenly, out of no where…

"Cedric!"

Cornelia screamed, and turned off just as Cedric attacked. He missed her by about a quarter of an inch. Way to close! Cornelia thought, shaking.

"Cornelia!" Will called. "You okay?"

"I've been better!' she yelled back.

"We need a way to get to Elyon", said Irma.

"Hhhmmm", Will was deep in thought,

"What?" asked Taranee.

"There's no earth here", said Will thoughtfully. "So…okay, Cornelia, you try and get to Elyon. The rest of us will fight Cedric. Or at least distract him", she added as an afterthought.

"All right", said Cornelia. She started to take off.

"Wait!" said Taranee. "First, lets get his attention. Fire!"

A fireball shot at Cedric. He roared as it hit him, and went after Taranee, who was fast to start flying.

"Go!" Will ordered. Her, Irma, and Hay Lin took off to join Taranee in the air. Cornelia went after Elyon.

"Elyon!" she cried as soon as she got to the bubble. "Elyon wake up. Please wake up! Come on Elyon!"

Meanwhile, her friends were fighting Cedric. And getting kicked around hard.

Will flew up right above Cedric, just as he was about slam Hay Lin, and hit him as a distraction for Hay Lin to get away. Cedric turned and went after her instead, but Irma hit him, and Cedric went for her. Suddenly a sharp pain shot thru Wills head.

"AAAAAAAHHHH!"

Before she knew what she was doing, she was back on the ground, gripping her head tightly. She was vaguely aware of the fact that Hay Lin had landed next to her. Before she could say anything, she heard Elyons voice.

"It's to late Will. Get your friends out of here. Go"

It's never to late, she thought desperately.

"Sometimes it is"

No, thought Will. Never.

Suddenly it was over. She could hear Hay Lin saying, "Will? Are okay? Will answer me!"

"I'm okay", she answered.

"You sure?" Hay Lin asked, uncertain. "What happened?"

"Nothing-just forget about it. Come on, lets go help the others", before Hay Lin could say anymore, she was back in the air, helping Taranee and Irma. Hay Lin hesitated before joining them.

"All right", said Will. "We don't have time for this anymore. We have to get Elyon, and get out. Irma, Hay Lin, freeze Cedric long enough for us to get Elyon and leave"

Irma and Elyon looked at each other and nodded, then flew up to Cedric.

"Water!" cried Irma. She shot a stream of water at Cedric, which hit him hard and covered him completely. Hay Lin finished it off by hitting Cedric with a blast of cold air, and freezing him solid.

"Good job", said Will. "Lets get Elyon"

They flew over to where Cornelia was, and looked at the bubble. "Soooooo…how do we get her out of this?" asked Irma. Will was looking at the Heart of Candracar.

"Stand back", she said, moving forward. She put the crystal on the bubble. There was a flash of pink light, and the bubble burst. Elyon was released from the bubble, and Will was blasted backwards.

"Will!"

"Elyon!"

Hay Lin and Irma grabbed Will as she flew backwards, and Cornelia grabbed Elyon as she started to fall.

"Elyon! Elyon, wake up!" Elyon eyes started to flutter, and a second later she was awake, and looking around at the guardians.

"You came for me", she said, sounding surprised.

"Of course we did!" said Cornelia. "We couldn't leave you here"

"Cornelia!"

Cornelia looked over at Irma, she being the one who had spoken.

"I know you're having fun with your reunion", she said, "But we have to go. That ice isn't gonna hold up much longer, and I don't think Will can either", she indicated their friend, who was stirring groggily.

"Is she okay?" asked Elyon.

"She'll live", said Irma.

"Uuummm…guys?" Taranee had flown up to where they were. "I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the ice is cracking!"

"Oh no" they looked around to find that Taranee was right. Cedric was coming loose from is icy prison.

"Terrific", said Irma. "We need away out of here!"

"Fly toward that wall", said Elyon, pointing toward the wall (if you could call it that) that they had come thru to get there.

"Are you crazy!" cried Irma.

"We have to do something!" said Hay Lin frantically. "Cedric's almost free! I say we try it. Will, do you think you can fly long enough to get out of here?"

Will looked up at her friend and nodded. Taranee was saying, "Well if we're gonna do this, lets get moving!"

Suddenly there was a loud crashing noise. Cedric had broken free!

"All right", said Will. "Just like Elyon said. Fly toward the wall!"

Cedric went after the guardians, who flew higher into the air, just to where he couldn't reach them.

"Wall?"

"Wall"

"Lets go!" they flew as fast as they could toward the wall they had come thru to get there. It was a good think they didn't stop, because Cedric was breathing down their wings, and showed no signs of growing tired. Faster Faster! Will thought. The wall was getting closer, and so was Cedric. Suddenly they hit the wall.

(sighs heavily my last cliffhanger. Well, for this story anyway. Okay then, stay tuned for the last chapter of the story to find out what happens)
