"Inez?" Matt cried, "Inez!"

"Ohh..." Inez groaned, and soon fell off her unicorn, just as one of Tohmis' soldiers shot it, turning it to moondust.

Annika's unicorn neighed in sorrow when she saw what happened to Inez's unicorn. That unicorn was her daughter, and now she was fuming angry at Tohmis.

But she wasn't the only one.

"Inez!" Matt cried, as she was falling unconcious towards the ground.

Suddenly, the Amulet of Knowledge began to glow ever so brightly. But Inez didn't stop dropping at an alarming speed.

Suddenly, a white pegasus horse flew below Inez, just in time to catch her.

Matt let out a sigh of relief. But he gasped when he saw the rider.

"Ryan!" Annika cried, "Look! Isn't that-"

"Tohmis!" Ryan exclaimed.

"Hey, bro!" Tohmis called. He wasn't much different from the Tohmis that was chasing them. He had long silver hair, but he had sparkling blue eyes, and his skin wasn't pale white. It was the normal flesh colour.

"Then, if that's Tohmis," Adam cried.

"Then who the bloody hell is that?" Sharri screamed, as the Dragon of Darkness shot a fire beam towards the Rebellion and the Keepers.

"Yoiks!" Digit cried, avoiding the attack, "I know I'm a fire bird now, but this is ridiculous!"

Jackie leaped off from her unicorn, and twirled her staff like a baton above her head. Finally, with streaks of blue-white light and sparkles, screaming stars were shot at the dragon, blinding it momentarily.

As the dragon screamed in pain, Jackie's unicorn caught Jackie from falling, and joined the Rebellion and the other Keepers.

"Nice one, Jacs!" Slider called.

"Slider!" Annika called to her brother, "I have to lead the Rebellion towards the campsite! Can you try to get rid of the imposter and his army with the others? Including Tohmis?"

"Leave it to us!" Slider replied, "We'll meet you guys at the campsite of Elyonna!"

Annika smiled, and led the Rebellion towards the distant land of Blessinnia.

Slider led the Keepers and the Guardians into battle.

Tohmis summoned an Alibaster (a glass-like material used during the times of Mesopotamia) staff with a twisted end. Then he called to Matt, "Hey! Um... I dunno your name, but I do believe she's somewhat related to you!"

"She's my godsister!" Matt replied.

"Then here." Tohmis said, handing Inez's limp body to Matt, "Take good care of her. Who knows what this imposter will do next. If I don't make it, make sure Ryan is well, too! You never know what he might do!"

The last two sentances were said as he flew off towards battle.

By that time, Inez woke up. "What the... what's going on?"

"Don't worry." Matt reassured, "A boy named Tohmis saved you."

"Tohmis?" Inez asked.

"Ryan's real brother." Matt replied, helping Inez to sit upstraight on the unicorn, "Hopefully, we'll know who the imposter really is. Alright, Phillip! Let's go!"

"Finally!" the unicorn named Phillip neighed, and rode into battle against Wicked's army.

The battle was going well so far, until...

"No!" Tohmis cried. The imposter grabbed Ryan's wing, changing him back to a human.

"Let go of me, you fake!" Ryan cried.

The imposter huffed, then let go of Ryan, dropping him towards the ground.

"Ryan!" Tohmis cried, and flew after his falling brother, only to be trapped in an unescapable blue bubble.

Ryan continued to fall. "C'mon..." Ryan growled, clutching his AmuletStone tightly, "Can't you work?"

Just when Ryan thought he was going to meet his fate, Sharri swept in under and caught Ryan onto the back of her unicorn.

"Oof!" the unicorn named Lyla neighed, "Please be more gentler."

"Sorry about that... Lyla?" Ryan looked at the rider, "Sharri? What are you doing here? Why aren't you in battle?"

"I was until I saw you falling." Sharri said.

Then, Sharri's power sensed something.

Ryan also sensed it. "Tohmis is in trouble. C'mon!"

"Alright, Lyla!" Sharri cried, "Let's go!"

Lyla flew up towards where Tohmis was caught in the bubble, only to be blocked by two soldiers from Wicked's army and their dragons.

Sharri prepared her scepter, the scepter glowing and crackling with magic and sparkles. Soon, she released a zap of magical electricity and screaming stars. It hit the soldiers, taking them down.

Sharri, Ryan, and Lyla gasped.

"Tohmis!" Ryan cried, "He's gone!"

"And so is the imposter!" Sharri cried.

Meanwhile, Creech and Adam had other problems.

Creech slashed at the enemies with her baton, then gasped when she saw what one of the soldiers did to Adam. One grasp of the wing, and Adam was back to normal.

"Let him go!" Creech cried, swinging her now glowing and sparkling baton. She twirled it, then sent it flying with magic filling the whole area, taking each soldier down. Adam managed to hold onto the baton as it came his way, escaping, just as the soldier was hit.

When the baton returned to Creech, Adam leaped onto the back of Creech's unicorn. "Okay, let's help the others now."

Creech's unicorn, Anya, flew towards where the large rage was, and where the battle was tense.

Matt destroyed every weapon that his blade touched with one slice. He even stopped the oncoming arrows from hitting him. Inez hit the soldiers with beams of light that shot from her mirror, which she twirled in a rapid speed with one hand, switching from the left hand to the right at such an alarming speed, that the soldiers couldn't avoid it.

Just then, a volley of screaming stars, crackling magical electricity, a magical baton, and a volley of glowing disks, attacked the remaining soldiers. That's when the rest of the Keepers of Amuletdium and their Guardians joined them.

"Is that all of them?" Slider asked, "I managed to take care of the imposter, but he got away with the real Tohmis. I'm sorry, Ryan. I didn't mean this to happen."

"I already knew." Ryan replied, "I was there when he disappeared. So was Sharri."

"But it was so fast." Sharri frowned, "How in the world did he get away so quickly without us hearing Tohmis cry for help?"

"The bubble was soundproof." Slider replied, "It's the working of Wicked's magic. I've never seen her summon anything so powerful. I know the imposter is Wicked's only link to the outside world of Sinnima. I just hope our Seeker's brother would be okay."

"We'll have to tell everything to your parents, Slider." Matt said, "Whether we like it or not. I'm thinking Tohmis was supposed to be in Elyonna's military."

"He was supposed to be." Ryan replied, "He even agreed to help. But the next day, he refused. I had no idea that it was an imposter."

"We're gonna have to find a way to identify Tohmis from the fake." Inez said.

"I think my parents will be able to help." Slider said, "C'mon. Let's go."

The Keepers and the Guardians arrived, with Annika, Coop, and a woman with similar features to Annika, wearing a white dress that reached down to her ankles and silver sandals, waiting for them at the entrance of the campsite.

Slider leapt off of his unicorn, Jonathan, before he even got a chance to land.

Jonathan neighed in surprise. "He sure has been waiting for this day, hasn't he?"

"Can you blame him, Jonathan?" Inez asked, "He's meeting his mother after such a long time, and he lost his father twice."

"Mom! Dad! Annika!" Slider exclaimed, rushing into his parents' open arms.

"Slider, you made it!" the woman exclaimed. Then, she walked over to the Keepers and the Guardians with her family.

"Well done, Keepers of Amuletdium. And of course, the Guardians of Amuletdium." the woman congratulated, "I'm Elyonna, Slider and Annika's mother. I will get Annika to heard the unicorns into the stables, and I will lead you to your tents. Each tent can only hold two beds so you'll be seperated into partners. Slider, I don't want you to go in with any girls but your sister."

"Mom..." Slider groaned in embarrasment.

"Ha ha, Slider." Annika mocked.

"The same goes for you Annika." Elyonna said, "No staying with any boys."

"Mom!" Annika exclaimed, "I don't even have a crush on any of these guys! I'm the matchmaker, mom! The matchmaker!"

"Sure, the matchmaker." Slider teased.

"Shut up!" Annika snapped.

"Slider, Annika!" Coop frowned, "C'mon. Let's get you guys settled in. Ryan and Adam in one tent. Matt and Slider in another. Jackie and Creech in one. Inez, Sharri, and Digit in one tent."

"Hey, how come Inez, Sharri, and Digit share one tent?" Annika asked.

"Digit's a cybird, remember?" Coop replied, "He's small enough to have one bed with two Keepers. Also, these two girls need protecting, and apparently Digit is eligable to make sure these girls don't find themselves facing trouble. Inez is the imposter of Tohmis' next victim of attack, and Sharri is sharing the tent with her so they'll need a Guardian with them in the tent. Don't worry, Digit, you can sleep in there."

"Good." Digit replied, "'Cause I don't wanna stay up all night watching out for evil!"

"Enough talk. Let's go." Coop said.

Later that day, the Keepers and the Guardians were training for the battle.

Well, not all of them...

Inez stepped out of her tent, dressed in her normal clothes and a watery blue cloak, and walked down to the lake beside her tent that she shared with Sharri and Digit. She wore an amberstone teardrop born on a silver chain and a silver curlicue clamp around her neck.

Inez checked if anybody was looking, then took of her shoes and socks, and stepped into the water, until it reached up to her ankles. She sighed in relaxation. The water was cool, and her ankles felt like they were between a border, like how Inez felt when she crossed through a portal, only more refreshing.

Here's a story of a girl
Living in a lonely world
A hidden note
A secret crush
A little boy who talks too much
Well, I'm standing in a crowd
And when you smile I check you out
But you don't even know my name
You're too busy playing games
And I want you to know
If you lose your way
I won't let you go

"Enjoying yourself?"

Inez gasped. She whirled around to see Slider, dressed in his ordinary clothes again, standing half a meter away from Inez. He held a blue flower in his hand. It looked like a lily flower.

"You didn't see me, did you?" Inez asked.

"Is there something wrong with you going into the water?" Slider asked.

"My parents just banned me from the water ever since the war at Earth started." Inez replied, "It's been a long time since I last swimmed. It would be a miracle if I still remembered how."

"Why not give it a shot?" Slider suggested.

If I cut my hair
If I change my clothes
Will you notice me?
If I bite my lip
If I say hello
Will you notice me?
What's it gonna take for you to see
To get you to notice me

"Huh?" Inez stared at Slider with a surprised expression.

Suddenly, the next thing she knew, she was having a water fight with Slider.

It went well and harmless at first, but then things got a bit out of control.

Got your head up in the clouds
Tell me when you're comin' down
No I don't wanna sink your ship
It's not about the scholarship
And all the friends that follow you
Tell you things that just aren't true
I'm the one you never see
I'm the one you really need
And oh-------
Don't get me wrong
You'd better make your move
Before my love is gone
Tell me,

Slider moved too close to Inez, making him splash a huge amount of water at Inez, forcing her to fall on her bottom in the water.

"Whoops." Slider said sheepishly.

Inez just grabbed Slider's outstretched hand, and pulled him forward, accidently making them both fall into the waters of the lake.

They both surfaced and gasped for air. They're distance between each other was almost a centimeter.

"Um... we're not supposed to be this close." Inez said to Slider in a low tone.

"Oh..." Slider frowned. Then, he moved a centimeter closer, his lips locking with Inez's.

Inez quickly sank into the kiss, but then realized what she was doing. She departed, quickly and surprised.

"Oh my god." Inez gasped, "I didn't know you thought I meant by that."

I'm not like the rest
I just don't care if you're the best
You see, it's all the same to me
You just be who you want to be
It's all the same to me

And oh-------
Don't get me wrong (don't get me)
You better make your move
Before the moment's gone
Tell me

"I am so sorry." Slider replied, realizing what he just did, "I don't know what caused me to do that."

"Um... it's okay." Inez replied. She suddenly had an urge to do something that she swore she would never do. The impulse seemed a bit too powerful for the 12 year old's mind.

"No, it's not okay." Slider said, referring to Inez's reply, "I did something wrong and -" the teen was interrupted when Inez kissed him on the lips.

The kiss didn't last long. It only lasted for a few seconds.

Inez took the pendant off from her neck, and placed it around Slider's own neck. "I know the battle we'll have will somehow tear us apart. Keep the pendant, as a memory of me.

If I cut my hair
If I change my clothes
Will you notice me?
If I bite my lip
If I say hello
Will you notice me?

With that said and done, Inez smiled and walked out of the water.

Slider tried to gather his thoughts as he gazed down at the amberstone necklace around his neck. Then he remembered the flower he kept in his pocket. When he pulled it out, dewdrops dripped from it's delicate petals.

"Inez! Wait!" Slider called, wading through the clear waters and running after Inez.

Inez looked back at Slider with a confused expression.

Slider finally reached up to her, and handed her the flower. "It's for you. This will never wither away as long as you still believe in the promise I give you: promise me, that you will never somehow crossover to the dark side, and that you'll fight with all your might, if a spell is cast on you, to break it."

"I promise." Inez replied, accepting the flower, and hugging Slider tightly.

If I cut my hair
If I change my clothes
Will you notice me?
If I bite my lip
If I say hello
Will you notice me?
What's it gonna take for you to see

Suddenly, clouds began to roll in. Rain clouds.

"I have to go." Slider said. Before he ran off back to the tent he shared with his "tentmate", he quickly kissed Inez on the cheek.

I want you to notice me
(Aaaah, aaah)
I'll get you to notice me
(Aaah, aaah)
I'll get you to notice me
(Aaah, aaah)

Just as Slider ran over the mound, Sharri and Digit looked after him.

"What's his rush?" Digit asked, flying down to the bank of the river where Inez stood, soaking wet.

"Looks like somebody just had a water fight with one of the boys." Sharri frowned, "You're soaking wet!"

"It's just a small water fight, that's all." Inez shrugged, and stepped back into the tent. Yeah right. That's all. There was more to it than a small water fight.

As Sharri and Digit entered, another romance was mysteriously blooming elsewhere...

I'll get you to notice me...
