Jason quietly walked behind the two. It made Jason sad and angry at the same time to see them holding hands. He followed them when they went inside the old building. Cornelia and Caleb immediatley let go of hands when the rest of the girls were inside waiting for them. Jason poked one eye from the outside through the door. "Ok, so are you ready, Cornelia?", Will asked. Cornelia nodded. Ready for what, Jason thought. Jason saw Caleb hold out his hand for Will to stop. Jason felt butterflies in his stomach. He quickly left the open door and went to the window instead. Just in time, because Caleb had looked where Jason was and saw nobody. Close call, but what are they gonna do that's so secret?, Jason looked closley.
He saw Will take out a pink crystal and held it out. What the heck is that?, Jason thought. The girls made a wide circle around Will. Will closed her eyes as the crystal let out a bright, pink light. "Guardians unite!", Will shouted. A hot pink, blue, orange, green, and silver tear drop swirled around the crystal. Jason's eyes went wide. What was happening? He saw Caleb just standing there...like he was used to seeing this. What's happening!, he thought in panic. He stopped thinking and saw the grassy-green tear drop go to Cornelia. It swirled around her and the green teardrop got bigger and cacooned Cornelia in it. Jason could only see her shadow in it.
Jason stood up completely and stared in wonder at what was happening. The swirls of light started to spin with the girls in it. Suddenly there wasa really bright light. It blinded Jason for a few seconds, then he could see.
"Energy!"
"Water!"
"Fire!"
"Earth!"
"Air!"
Jason felt his stomach do a lot of backflips when he saw Cornelia in front of him. He thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him or something. He rubbed his eyes and looked at her again. I must be crazy, he thought in amazment. He saw the girls fly, yes fly, up the stairs, with Caleb behind them...but not flying. After a few seconds he heard a weird noise and then silence. He quietly went into the building. After he heard nothing but silence, he went up the stairs and saw Irma and Hay Lin looking at the portal. "Irma...I think someone saw us", Hay Lin said quietly. Her wings fluttered. "No one could've possibly seen us, we do this all the time. Don't worry, Hay Lin. Now come on, let's go", Irma put her arm around Hay Lin playfully. They both jumped into the portal.
Jason, his eyes wide, walked slowly towards the blue portal. He put his hand through it and got sucked in. After a few seconds of screaming he landed in a sort of junk yard. "Where am I?", Jason asked himself quietly. The sky was as dark as night, and the castle freaked him out. He got out of his trance and saw Hay Lin's long ponytails go into a barrel and close the door. Jason looked confused but went in anyway. He opened the door and closed it.
The walls were green and had fire on the sides. "I didn't know barrels were so spacious", Jason said quietly. He looked foward and saw Hay Lin's pony tails again. He quickly went down the curving stairs. When he thought everything was going fine, he saw a really big and scary looking blue guy in front of him. "Who are you! What are you doing here!", the big blue thing said sternly and angrily. "I-uh-um-I-", Jason tried to speak but was too afraid. "Hey Vathek, for the minings we-you!", Caleb walked in and looked angrily at Jason. Jason just stared in shock. "How'd you get here?", Caleb came in front of Jason's face.
"Caleb, what's-", Will came in and stared. "Jason? Wha-what?", Will came towards him. "What are you guys?", Jason stepped back. Will slapped her forehead. "This is just like when your boyfriend found out, huh?", Caleb grinned at Will. "Jason, we'll explain later. You're here and you can't go back without us. Come on", Will grabbed his arm and dragged him to the Infinate City. Caleb, Will, and Jason went through the crowd of rebels and went with the other guardians.
"Jason?", Cornelia gasped. "Corne-", Jason blinked fast in order to see if what she saw before was real. His mind wasn't tricking with him before, she really did look more beautiful than she usually did. Cornelia saw that and turned pinkish. She looked away. She couldn't help it. Caleb crossed his arms and made an angry face at Jason. Jason didn't notice though.
"What? How did he get here?", Irma hid behind Hay Lin. "I told you we were being watched", Hay Lin put her hands on her hips. "Right now we have something more important to do", Taranee said. "Yeah, you're right. We have to do this now. Jason-", Will turned to Jason,"-long story short, me, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin are Guardians of the Veil. We protect Earth and this world called Merridean from an evil ruler named Phobos. We have the powers over the elements of nature; energy, water, fire, earth, and air", Will looked serious and was explaining quickly. Jason was listening but couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Right now, you're going to have to stay with me becaue Cornelia has to do something really important right now", Will explained. "You would've put Jason with Cornelia if she didn't have to do anything?", Caleb mumbled angrily. Jason nodded.
"Alright, everyone bring your weapons! We plan to bring Elyon back from her brother!", Caleb ordered. Jason looked confused. "Oh, and Caleb-", Will grinned, "-yeah, he's a rebel leader". Jason's eyes went wide. He looked at Caleb. He was standing like a leader, firm and tall and ready to fight. Jason saw Cornelia go up to him in the little platform. She told him something in a worried face. He smiled and told her something back. Cornelia smiled and then went next to a hole. Jason saw all the rebels go with Cornelia.
"Ok, Jason, I'm gonna have to carry you", Will said. "Uh, carry me?", Jason asked. "Yeah, cause we're gonna have to fly", Will said. He looked back to the hole and saw nothing but rebels going in. He felt he was being lifted from the ground. He looked up and saw Will flying. They went into the hole with the other rebels. When he and Will were in the tunnel, he saw Cornelia blasting green things at the rock, digging. "So, Cornelia has the power of Earth?", Jason asked. "Yes, she's making a hole so that we can go under Phobos' castle", Will explained. Wow, who would've thought Cornelia goes through all that besides school, Jason thought.
Cornelia started to sweat as she used all the magic she had to break through the hard crystal-like rock. "Taranee! Where are we?", Cornelia yelled from all the crumbling in front of her. "Just keep digging, we're almost there", Taranee yelled back. Cornelia thrust her hands further, even more green magic shot out. She let out more magic, but it only made it harder. "I...can't...go...anymore!", Cornelia yelled before she stopped shooting magic and collapsed. "Cornelia!", Jason and Caleb yelled. Caleb went over to Cornelia's weak body. She was breathing hard.
"Calm down, sh sh", Caleb touched her forehead. Will tried to fly over there and see what was happening, but Irma stopped her. Will looked confused at Irma. "Let the lovebirds do their thing alright?", Irma grinned. Jason looked at Irma and then looked at Caleb angrily. Caleb looked at Cornelia, who's body started to glow green. Caleb leaned his head back to see what would happen. It looked like an astrol drop was forming or something because it looked like the same process. When the double was fully complete, they saw that it wasn't an astrol drop of Cornelia's human form, but her Guardian form! The real Cornelia was left in human form and her Guardian self went to a seperate body.
"My other self needs to rest, I'll finish this", Guardian Cornelia said(I'm gonna call her GC, ok?). Caleb craddled her head, "What about the real Cornelia?". "Cornelia needs to rest. I got out of her by suprise. You see, that crystal has a magic effect on non-magic people. In this case it was Cornelia's human form. Right now, she is in a deep transe. She cannot open her eyes just yet", GC explained. Caleb craddled her head and put his forehead gently on top of hers.
"Why are you talking like you're not a part of Cornelia?", Jason asked. "He just got here and he's already asking questions we would ask", Irma whispered to Hay Lin. "Because I don't really look like this. I am, like you all have seen, a green drop of Earth Energy. Yet, since I have been given to Cornelia, I am given the appearance of her", GC said. Aldarn and Caleb shared glances and then nodded. "Alright, we will continue", Caleb ordered. GC walked up to the crystal and started to destroy the rock by just walking.
"You know, I didn't know they could do that", Taranee said. "Yeah, I know. It's totally freaky. But awsome! Hard to belive I got another me in me! Well besides the astrol drop, right?", Hay Lin giggled. "This is going to get hard to get used to", Jason said. "You're just gonna see this once, then you can't come here anymore", Will said. "What? Why not? This place is cool", Jason asked. "Cool? Oh, wait till you meet Lizard Face", Taranee put her hands on her hips(yes their still hovering). "Lizard Face?", Jason repeated. "Yeah, Lizard Face. You're so gonna wish you never came", Hay Lin replied. "Yeah, and besides Jason, no one is supposed to know that we're Guardians of the Veil. You cannot tell ANYONE", Will explained. "Ok...and if I did, no one would believe me anyway", Jason replied. "Exactly", Irma nodded.
"Taranee!", Aldarn said from ahead. "Oh right, coming!", Taranee flew over to Aldarn. Aldarn had a map of how they were going to get to the castle and all the measurements. "We're right here-", Aldarn pointed to the end of the tunnel in the map, "-so now, we dig up?". Taranee looked at the map again, "We dig up". "Wait, before we do, we have to make sure everyone is ready", Caleb walked to them. He was carrying Cornelia in his arms(Yeah, sorta like bridal style...only she's asleep). All the rebels put on the sheilds and took out their swords and they all nodded. "Ok, now we're ready to fight. You guys go ahead", Caleb started to walk the opposite direction. "What? Where are you going?", Aldarn asked. "I'm not putting Cornelia in danger, especially when she has no power and she's in a transe. I'm taking her to the Infinate City", Caleb didn't look back, he just kept walking.
Will flew down with Caleb and put Jason down. "I can stay with her", Jason offered. Caleb stopped and looked at him with a "I don't think so, you're crazy to think I'd leave her with you" face. "You have no choice. You have to go battle and I can't go, Will won't let me go", Jason said. "You've got a lot of nerve, kid", Caleb looked at him straight in the eyes. "I'm not intimidated", Jason replied with no show of fear in his eyes. The guardians turned to look at the little argument going on. Will flew up, knowing that this wasn't going to be pretty.
"You should be intimidated", Caleb replied. "Well, I'm not. You think I'm a little wimpy school boy, well you're wrong", Jason replied. "Well, compared to me, you're still just a school boy, Jason", Caleb wanted to punch him right then and there, but he couldn't. He had Cornelia in his arms. "Well-", Jason kicked Caleb in the stomach so simply and fast, but it worked. Jason somehow managed to get Cornelia in his arms. Caleb looked suprised. Jason grinned, "-I wouldn't be so sure about that".
