A/N-I'm back! I've been working all week to catch up on updating my fics, and boy is it working! I'm so psyched about this! Anyway, here's chapter 13!
Disclaimer-I don't own WITCH, or this story (see chapter 10 for details)
Chapter 13-Straightening things Out
Irmas' POV
"Water!" Irma yelled, shooting a stream of water at the over grown lizard. It him square in the head, but didn't do much, except make him roar.
"Lets' not do that again, huh?" Will said, a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
"Duh!" Irma shot back, dodging one of Cedrics' attacks. This wasn't what they were supposed to be doing. They were supposed to be looking for Taranee and Cornelia. Plus, they still had to figure out what was going on, and try and figure out how to stop it.
"We gotta get going!" Irma said, "We need a way to loose Cedric, we still have to find Taranee and Cornelia, don't forget!"
"And then what?" Will asked, "We still don't know how to fix this…whatever it is, remember?"
"We never do", Hay Lin said simply, "We can still figure this out, we always do,"
Will dodged another attack, and said, "Well, we still have to loose Cedric"
"No problem", Elyon said. She held her hand up to the ceiling right above Cedric. The ceiling collapsed, rocks piling down on Cedric, burying him.
"Remind me never to get on your bad side', Irma quipped as they ran out of the dungeons.
"Joke later", Will said bitterly, "We still have a job to do"
"Right", Hay Lin said, "Hey! Maybe we can use the Heart of Candrcar to find them! Will?"
"Worth a shot", Will held up her hand; a second later, the Heart of Candracar appeared, glowing a bright pink. Irma could make out two figures reflected in it.
"It worked!" Irma cried, "Finally! Something goes right!"
"Where are they?" Elyon asked. Will held the crystal at eyes length.
"I can't tell", she sighed finally.
"So much for something going right", Irma said, "That would have been too easy"
"So now what?" Elyon asked Will. Will clapsed her hands over the crystal, looknig super annoyed.
"I dunno", she said, "But we have to do something. We have to"
"Yea", Irma said thoughtfully, "One question though: say we do find Corny and Taranee. What good are they if they don't know who we are, or even who they are?"
"Good point", Wil said, "Okay, new plan. We figure out how to stop…this, then we go find them"
"Here", Elyon whispered a little while later, "The throne room. This is where we'll most likely find him"
"Sounds good", Irma said quietly, "Qho wants to knock?"
"Allow me", Hay Lin said, rising into the air, "Air!"
A gust of wind slammed into the door, and yells were heard from within.
"I'd say we got their attention", Irma said uselessly. The doors flew open, reveailng, oh, a million or so castle guards,a few lurdens, and of course, Phobos.
"Sorry we're late!" Irma called with a smirk, "What'd we miss?"
"Look over there!" Elyon yelled, pointing. Next to the throne was a sort of black rock sitting upon a spindly, three legged table, and Irma had a guess…
"I bet if we destroy that, everything will go back to normal!" Will said, figuring it out as well, "Who wants to do the honors?"
"Oh, me!" Irma said, throwing her hand into the air, "Me, me!"
"Be my guest", Will said, "The rest of us will take care of Phobos and his goons"
"Cool", Irma said, "Ready when you are then…"
"Glad to hear it", Will said as the guards advanced. Hay Lin was the first to attack, sending a gust of wind at the goons, and knocking them backwards, giving Irma a chance to slip by them towrds the rock. Will and Elyon started to attack as well. Irma was suddenly grateful for her choice of costume. Guard after guard grabbed at her, but she just slipped through all of them.
"Ha!" she said as she finally got to the stone without a scratch. Of course, now she had no idea how she was going to destroy it…
"Any time now Irma!" Will yelled. She'd been captured by one of the castle guards, and was now trying desperately to break free.
"Okay, okay!" Irma yelled desperately, "Think Irma, think…I got it!'
She stepped back away from the stone, aimed, and yelled, "Water!"
A stream of water flew out of her hands, and hit the stone. As soon as the stone shettered, a gold light fell over them, and died away a second later.
"Did it work?" Irma asked. Suddenly, a guard hit her from behind, and knocked her forward, "Nevermind"
"Come on", Hay Lin said, "We still have to find Cornelia and Taranee-"
"Did we hear our names?" a voice from the door asked. It was, of course, Taranee and Cornelia.
"You're okay!" Hay Lin yelled, sounding thrilled.
"Of course", Cornelia sisad, smirking, "Now, how about we send these loons back to where they belong?"
"I hear that", Will asid happily. She held her hand out. A second later, the crystal appeared, and a pink light fell over the two girls, and when it died away, Taranee and Cornelias' costumes had been replaced by their guardian outfits.
"Now", Irma said, turning to face their enemy, "Lets' get this over with; I still have a few good trick or treating hours left"
The girls took flight, leaving them each with their own target in mind.
"Hey ugly!" Irma yelled as a guard grabbed at her, "You may be able to touch me, but that doesn't mean you can keep a grip on me! Water!''
The guard was knocked backwards; he wouldn't be messing with her again any time soon.
"Hey!" Irma heard Taranee yell. She whirled around, and saw that Taranee was surrounded. She instantly took to the air, but Cornelia was one step ahead of her. She created a crater around the guards, after giving Taranee a chance to fly away, and th guards fell thru.
"Beat that", she said with a smirk. Will and Hay Lin, meanwhile, weren't doing as good.
"Hey!" Hay Lin yelled, dodging an attack, "Didn't you know it's rude to hit a girl? Especialy one that has special powers!"
"Well there's a lousy cliché if I ever heard one", Irma muttered. Didn't matter though, Hay Lin still got the job done; the soldiers that were on her were knocked backwards and sprawled over all sides; they weren't gonna be much trouble for awhile.
Will managed to get herself out of the corner to; she jumped out of the way of two gurds coming at her, and they collided with a sickening crunch. All that was left now was Phobos.
"Okay Phobos", Irma said smirking, "We can do this the easy way, or the way that ends up with someone getting-"
Phobos didn't even let Irma finish before attacking. "Okay", Irma said, "So, it's gonna be the hard way, is it? Fine!"
The girls (including Elyon) all got into the air, and surrounded him. "Make it easy on yourself Phobos!" Will yelled, "You lost this battle!"
With that, the six girls held out their hands. Different colored spheres of light appeared, growing and growing by the second. Phobos' eyes grew wide, and the look of hate in his eyes grew bigger as well. It didn't matter though. The light surrounded him, and then expanded through the castle, and at that point, they all knew: things were going back to normal.
DONE! Finally! Well, I'm very sorry to say that chapter 14 (the next chapter) will be my last, as sad as it is thoguh, I'm kind of happy. Anyway, see you in a week!
