Okay, Phobos is back. It is starting to head into the next plot.

Chapter 9: Darkening Skies

Evil Taranee's POV

Screams filled the air as buildings started burning. Smoke was clouding everyone. There was terror and confusement as Metamoorians started running in every direction, looking for their children and trying to escape the painful truth. The grass was no longer green, the sky was swirling with black clouds, and lighting struck everywhere dangerously. There was no more color anywhere, especially with the people of Metamoor, and there was no more hope. Phobos was back.

"Help! Princess Elyon!" thousands of them cried. But Elyon was not there. She was still in Heatherfield with the Guardians of the Veil. By now she would have figured out that her people were in danger. She would be coming soon, right into a trap.

The Evil Guardians all turned away from the window and approached their master. He smiled gleefully from his throne.

"So, it is true. You come from an alternate universe and freed me so that I could rule Meridian again. Why?"

Evil Taranee stepped up and spoke.

"Our small universe is the only one ruled by evil. Elyon is evil there too, but that universe is a wasteland, a dump for all the excess magic used here in this one. It angered us that evil ruled the weaker of the two universes, so we came to change that!"

"We have gained new powers, powers that we have never had before. We were powerful enough to break free of our universe and come here. We already had a plan for evil to rule Metamoor and Earth. But we need the Heart of Candracar." Evil Will added. Phobos leaned in closer.

"I'm listening."

Back down in Heatherfield, the girls were responding to this news with absolute panic.

"What do you mean Phobos is back!" Irma exclaimed. "How could that have happened?"

Elyon shook her head. If her brother really was back, then Meridian was in danger.

"I've got to go. Meridian needs me. I can feel their cries of pain and fear." Elyon told them.

"But you can't go alone. We've got to go and help." Hay Lin explained. They all looked at Will, ready to transform, but she was still in a state of disbelief.

"She told me he would come. Everything she said is starting to come true…"

"What are you talking about Will?" Elyon asked, confused.

"The Evil Will! She told me that evil will come! That we were heading straight into a nightmare because I didn't give her the Heart of Candracar!"

Irma and Hay Lin looked at each other with their eyebrows raised.

"Um, I think Will fell down too hard." Irma joked. Taranee just walked over to Will and looked into her eyes.

"Are you sure? That's what she said in your dream." Will nodded and brought out the Heart.

"Come on! Now we definitely have to go!" The Heart of Candracar floated above her hand and started sending different colored teardrops to each of the Guardians. Magic started swirling around their bodies as they went through their transformation into W.i.t.c.h. Although it was really W.i.t.h. They still didn't have Cornelia. They each burst from their bubbles and landed on the ground, tall and beautiful.

"I'm going to go and you follow, just in case." Elyon said before she disappeared in a blast of bright light. Each of the Guardians stood in a circle, ready to start their mission.

"Okay, so let's concentrate really hard on where we want to go and, huh." Will stopped talking when she noticed that they were fading. The last time this had happened, the Oracle had summoned them to Candracar.

"You were saying Will!" Hay Lin exclaimed.

Irma started griping. "Oh no, not again!" The Guardians started shimmering away until they landed in a great temple that resided high in the clouds. They were in Candracar.

Back in Meridian:

Evil Taranee placed her fingers to her temples and concentrated. This was a new power that she got from the Guardian. She could contact people mentally now. Phobos had told her to try to get Elyon to come. She knew it was going to work. She thought of the girl wondering the streets horrified at what she saw. Then she finally made contact.

"Elyon! We're near Phobos's castle! You need to hurry!" she said in Taranee's voice.

"Okay Taranee," Elyon thought. "I'm coming."

Evil Taranee pulled her hands away and walked to the others.

"She's coming." She told them. "Prepare for the trap."

The Evil Guardians ran to the front of the castle. There they anxiously waited for Elyon to come. They all gathered all the energy they could in their hands for when she came walking up. She never did come though and the Evil Guardians stood there confused.

"Looking for me!" Elyon yelled from high above them. She shot at them with her silvery- blue magic and they were blown one- hundred feet back. "I guess you couldn't get me after all." She chuckled.

"Yes, but I can." A voice behind her thundered. Elyon was hit by a powerful blast of magic and was held tightly by the magical ropes that had confined her from moving once before. Phobos pulled her to him effortlessly.

"So little sister. I'm back again. I should tell you that I'm back for a rematch, but I'm going to win this time. This time, your friends will be too preoccupied with their own troubles to help you." He walked her down to his throne where he made a magical force felid to keep her in. Phobos threw her in there and smiled.

"And if you haven't noticed, you have a friend joining you." Elyon looked to her left and saw Cornelia sitting there, bound with the magical ropes and gagged too. Elyon tried to get so many words out to her best friend, but all that came out were muffled sounds. Cornelia nodded her head though with understanding.

Evil Taranee laughed mockingly at their stupid gestures. Didn't they know that this was their end? Once their friends were captured, there was nothing stopping Phobos from getting the Heart of Candracar and ruling the universe. She turned when Phobos began to speak.

"Release the Dream Catcher and unleash it on the Earth Guardian. It will soon find the others."

Evil Taranee watched the girl's look of horror when a great black shadow was released from a chest. It swirled around the room giving everyone a feeling of fear. You could hear its breath, it was a soulless creature looking for prey. It suddenly stopped in front of the bubble and was deciding whom to go for. It swooped in and completely covered Cornelia. Then it went back out and waved right back into the chest. Cornelia was gone from the bubble, but was instead floating in midair with a purple aura around her.

"You see Elyon." Phobos said turning to her. "This is going to happen to all of your friends." He turned back to the Evil Guardians and spoke with great authority.

"The Dream Catcher will confuse them on what is real and what is reality. Let their own fears destroy themselves! Once they are at their greatest point of desperation, use your new powers to destroy them!"

Phobos stood up and roared as lighting flashed across the sky.

"You know what to do before you kill them though. It is a perfect plan! Just make sure that in the end, I will get the Heart of Candracar!"

There's chapter 9. The next one is when everything is explained, but I'm going to take a break and start writing it later. That might be a harder chapter to write but it's not as confusing as it used to be. I was thinking of writing another fanfic that would be a sequel to this one, but a new story all on its own. It would be like a boy version of W.i.t.c.h. called W.a.r.l.o.c.k.(Don't steal the idea, please) anyone, tell me what you think of that and send a review!
