Later at the boy's house…
"Hey look! It's Uncle Fred!" Ben pointed towards a window where a tall, lean man with black hair stood.
"Let's go say 'hi'" Replied Ryan.
The boys rushed inside to find their mother talking to the man.
"Well hello boys, good to see you again." The man said in a deep voice.
"Hey Uncle Fred! 'Sup?" Said Jason grinning.
"I'm sorry Frederick; could I leave the boys with you? I really have to go to the town meeting." The boy's small brown haired mother said.
"No problem Susan, you leave them with me." Fred said.
"Ok, boys, BEHAVE, I'll be back at seven and I'll bring home pizza." Mrs Allen put on her coat and left.
"Ok listen boys, gather round, I have something very important to tell you." Fred looking very serious.
"If it's about your fishing rod, I can explain." Tyler said nervously.
"What? My fishing rod! No, no. It's just that, have you boys noticed anything strange happening lately?" Fred asked.
Ryan grinned "What, that Jack locks himself in his room a lot and spies on us?"
"Yeah, and that Jason made the track team, again." Ben laughed
"Oh yeah. Hey Tyler, how was football tryouts?" Jason said.
"Hail your reigning football captain!" Laughed Tyler.
"You guys should have totally seen the prank we pulled on that stupid history teacher. Ben distracted him and then I put the tack on his chair! It was totally sweet!" Ryan grinned cheekily.
"But Uncle Fred, those aren't strange. They're just normal." Said Jack.
"I don't think so." Fred pulled out a stopwatch from his pocket. "Jason, could you run around the garden 20 times then come back here. I'll time you."
"Sure Uncle. It should be fun." Replied Jason getting up.
"Ok on your marks, get set, GO!"
Jason shot off. In flash he was back.
"15 seconds. Impressive." Fred said looking at stopwatch.
Jason sat on a couch heavily. "Wow. I didn't know I could run that fast."
"And Tyler, face the dart board." Tyler stood up "Right now take this dart," Fred handed Tyler a dart. "Close your eyes and throw."
Tyler did what he was told. He threw. The dart landed spot-on the bullseye. Tyler opened his eyes and gasped.
"I thought I was going to break something." He sat next to Jason.
"Jack, if I correctly recall, you still spy on your brothers." Fred said. "Boys have you ever heard him follow you?"
The boys shook their heads. Fred smiled at Jack.
"Ben, Ryan, I am told that you are inseparable, and hear what the other is thinking?" Fred smiled.
Ben and Ryan looked uneasy. "Well yeah…"
"But Uncle we weren't like this to start with. How did it happen?" Tyler asked suddenly.
Fred smiled even more. The boys were catching on. He drew a smooth black stone on a string. It was in the shape of a claw. It was vibrating.
"It came to my attention a week ago, that the Amulet of the Warriors. Which is this here." Fred held up the necklace. "Started vibrating which means you boys have come of age and that you should be told everything." Fred drew a breath. "Long ago, there was a great war between two worlds. They were Meridian and Earth. Meridian was an evil world and ruled by a terrible king. He waged the war and the Guardians of the Veil, which were five girls with miraculous power over water, earth fire and air and energy, helped the side of Earth. Five brothers on Earth's side wanted to help so much that they used the Heart of Kandrakar, which was a pendant that the guardians used to transform themselves into their more powerful selves, to make the Amulet of the Warriors. The one of the brothers received the power of aim, another speed, and another shadow. The last two brothers received the power of teams and worked very well together. They helped Earth win but when they lost one of their brothers in the war they no longer wanted to be warriors. The Amulet was passed down in the family along with its responsibility. A responsibility that has now been passed down to you." Fred finished looking at the boys stunned faces.
"Wait, wait, wait. You're telling us that we have some super powers. Is this a joke?" Jack said.
Ryan punched him in the arm lightly "Jack, stop being sceptical. This could be fun!"
"This is a big responsibility. It is not just for fun." Said Fred severely "Now lets see who gets to look after the Amulet." Fred held the Amulet in front of each boy but it glowed very brightly when it was in front of Tyler. Fred chuckled "Born leader huh?" He chuckled some more.
"So what do we do now?" Tyler asked quizzically.
"You say 'Warriors unite' to transform and to go normal you say 'Change back' but not now." Fred looked at the clock. It was four o'clock. "We've got to go meet the guardians. Put your coats on and we'll go."
