Sorry for the super long wait but I have been super busy but I hope this is an ok chapter.

Chapter 9

"What happened? Who are you?" Irma was really confused at the appearance of these women who stood in a line apart from one who was in the air. And they weren't even in guardian form, if they were guardians that is; they looked at who spoke and the tallest stepped forward and smiled softly speaking with a slight Spanish accent.

"'Ello I am Catrine the earth guardian and you must be the present guardians. 'Ow can we 'elp you?" She tossed her blue dress behind her; the younger guardians were grapping like fish. Cornelia swayed almost fainting but Will grabbed her arm steadying her, future Will raised an eyebrow thinking great more trouble. One of the girls turned to look at her doing a mix of a glare and curiosity.

The girl in the air came down and really glared at them but the one in pink and red touched her arm and she calmed down slightly.

"Maybe you should tell us why you're here and who's who?" Caleb suggested at the girls dressed in dresses. They turned to the young man who had spoken and the one who had calmed the flying girl asked everyone.

"Ok, I'm guessing you don't realise what the spell did fully?" When they saw they heads shake their heads she sighed to herself and told them that the spell made images of them to train the guardians to defeat the puppeteer. Then they introduced themselves to the present guardians.

"Now I know the puppeteer is back but why are there two versions of you?" The water guardian asked little Will.

"She is my future self her daughter has been kidnapped by the puppeteer and so she came here to get her home." Future Will stood next to Caleb and Phobos waiting for them to train the younger version of herself and her friends.

After a little while of talking about the strengths and weakness of the present guardians they got to work. The past guardians transformed and took the same elements as they own to train.

With Cat and Cornelia they were using vines to duel with each other but Cat was able to control about ten while Cornelia was having trouble fully controlling four. So she was losing the fight and Cat looked worried at the blond who was panting and her stitches were coming loose.

"Veneshia come here please." The water wielder flew over to the earth pair with Irma following.

"Can you please heal our friend here?"

"Sure!" Cornelia was taken into a bubble of water that was soothing and healing her wounds that she had gotten from the attack two days ago. When she was let out she looked over her body feeling stronger then ever.

"How did you do that?" Irma was surprised at what her predecessor could do.

"Oh that? I found with my water powers it was easier to heal then to fight. If you want I could train you some." Veneshia told the younger water guardian, who nodded and drag her away to train some more and get a grip of this water healing bubble.

Natalia was throwing fireballs left and right at poor Taranee, the slightly nervous guardian was having too dodge all of the fireballs and she didn't have time to attack herself.

"Taranee you must be faster at throwing your attacks or use your fire to create a Smokey area to hide and recover." Her pink skirt was blowing in the wind as she stared down at the panting guardian. Taranee glared at her and fired two balls that Nat dodged and retaliated with a flamethrower, Taranee flew up to get away but was having trouble.

"Come on little lady lets go!" She yelled up chasing her into the air.

In the air also was the two air guardians Hay Lin who was blowing a razor shape wind at the other guardian. She was taking it by sending out similar waves of air at her, they were equal in strength but Ophelia seemed to be holding back a lot.

"Hay Lin please don't tell me that's all you have?" The older girl smirked at the Chinese girl glared and sent a surprise attack which knocked her back a little.

"Now that's more like it!" 'Lia smiled at the other girl who was worried by the glint in her eye, soon a small hurricane was blowing between her hands and it was sent loose on Hay Lin entrapping her.

"Try and get out of it control it!" She yelled out to the struggling Hay Lin. Upon hearing her yells Hay Lin tried to control the rushing winds and seemed to have no luck in doing so but slowly the winds died down and she dispersed them. Ophelia was impressed at the young girl's spirit.

"Good job now let's work on creating that power for yourself." So the pair went back to work flying around high above the others.

The last pair was Edwina and Will who were trying to get Will to use and energy beam but she couldn't get it. Future Will and the two males were watching them, the older Will was embarrassed that she couldn't do it.

"Little me try and feel a sword in your hands." Everyone looks at the tall red head.

"Why should I do that?" The younger one asked.

"Because of this." She holds out her hand and all the energy around her hand came together to form a sword of pulsing pink energy. Phobos backs away slightly since it is so close to his face.

"Watch it brat!"

"Hey I saw that birthmark and let's say I am not afraid of telling everyone about it!" Snapped the future leader. The princes pale green eyes widened and he nodded not wanting to anger the woman further especially when she had that sword in her hand.

"Good! Now mini me try it." The younger or present Will looked hard at the sword and pictured it in her hand. She continued to picture the pink energy sword until she heard a grasp and felt a warm powerful energy in her hand. Looking down she saw the same sword in her hand, Edwina was really surprised and impressed at the power of her first sword.

"That looks pretty strong." She spoke in her rather quite voice.

"Let's test it." Future Will gripped her sword tight and charged at her younger self who tried to defend herself by blocking her attack but being the same person both Will's knew what the other was doing and were evenly matched apart from the power and the practice the older version had.

In the end little Will's energy burned out and all the future guardians were on the ground resting to weak to move. All the past and one future guardian looked down at them shaking their heads.

"We have a really long way to go."

So the past guardians trained our set for a week every day they sent their astral forms to school and home while they trained. Even Caleb was training with the toughly shocked Phobos, who was learning to relax and think nicer thoughts about earth.

It was after a long training session that a plan was formed about saving Verity and stopping the puppeteer for good. It was Caleb who took the lead with his skills as a rebel leader he had read all he could on the puppeteer and asked for some help from the past guardians.

"Ok we will attack tomorrow at three a clock the first step is we let the past water, earth air and fire attack then the second team of the small elements if the first team get frozen. I will be backing you up with the other rebels when we can. Future and our Will will get Verity out of there with Edwina for backup then we destroy her for good." Phobos was impressed he too would help but he thought they would be fine with out him. Everyone else knew the plan and were ready for it. All that big Will could think of was; don't worry Verity I am coming to get you.

Ok that's it I have two more chapters to go then I would have finished this story!
