Chapter 10
The group of eleven guardians, a few rebels and a bored Prince went back into Meridian to fight to get Verity back to her mom and her own time. Knowing the plan the three leaders went off to the underground of the ancient palace that had once been her power point.
It was now old and rubble with it looking more like a dump then a powerful palace. The rest of the group split into three teams the first was the past guardians who were being led by Cat. The earth guardian raised her hand and a large plant rose up and made a good hiding place for the others till it was their time to attack. So the present guardians and the rebels hid, Phobos was dragged with the older wiser guardians of the veil.
"You have to come when I send up a burst of flames ok?" Nat whispers to the waiting group.
"Yeah we understand good luck." Irma whispered back and winking and the now smiling group, the younger ones had really grown on them and this would be a tough fight for even an experienced warrior. So they went into the building with Phobos dragging his feet.
"We need your help and those rebels would rather skin you alive rather then having you breathe the same air as them." The one who spoke was the fire guardian Phobos glared at woman who was dragging him along.
"Fine but only because I want my kingdom back no one else makes a fool out of me!" All the women roll their eyes and just smile to themselves.
"Are you sure it's not to impress a certain blond earth guardian?" The fire guardian
Nat nudged him. She heard his mind quickly and giggled as he fought with himself then as he threatens her and was shocked badly by the collar.
"Hush we are nearly there we need to be quite."
"Oh that's sweet being so thoughtful for little old me." They all turn around and face the creature that is floating behind them. Nat reacts quickly and fires a small flamethrower at her she tuts and sends it towards Cat who puts up a vine shield to protect herself. The shield stops the attack but it had burnt right though it.
"Aww crap!" 'Lia moaned at the sight of the shield and the puppeteer who was almost gloating as she stood in front of them. The puppeteer raises her arm and fires a bolt of pink energy.
"You are too late, I have her powers and I am invincible!" All the people around her fire attacks and she freezes them then sends out her own attacks that are barely blocked by Phobos.
"Thanks Phobos." Cat pants as an attack is blocked by his powers. The sliver haired man merely nods down to her and then fires a green beam at the puppeteer which gains her attention long enough for Ophelia to send a power gust of wind at her.
"This is boring." She flicks her wrist and sends them back flying.
"We need the others Nat send up the signal." Veneshia asked her twin who no matter how proud she was couldn't bear to see her sister in any form of pain. She sent out a large flamethrower into the air, the puppeteer looked at what you had done and spoke.
"That won't help you; you will be long dead before they get here." She sends a pulsing wave at them which was really hot and felt like they were burning their skin. The whole group screamed in pain as she laughed manically.
"Back off!" Yelled a voice along with a load of arrows and a jet of water hit her shield behind her. The rebel group and the other guardians froze in shock at how easy it had been for her to just repel the attack.
Taranee tried to send a fireball at her head while Hay Lin sent a gust of cold wind at her feet but both attacks were stopped. They didn't know what to do and Cornelia sent a load of vines to wrap around the woman's body but none got close enough to actually wrap around her.
"How can we beat her when we can't hit her?" Cornelia yells over the noise or people trying to hit her with arrows. The others went over to the injured people, helping them up and trying to hold out until the others save Verity. Caleb was making sure the rebels were doing ok but he was about to be hit by a beam of pink energy. It was heading straight for him.
"Caleb look out!"
While the fight had been going on Will both present and future along with the past keeper of the heart were looking for the small child that was missing. The trio were going down a small back passage that the other guardians had always known about and thought it would be the best way to find the young girl. Edwina was walking under the flying form of the older keeper who was looking around at the place. Turning to the smaller version Edwina asked her.
"What really going on? I mean why would the puppeteer take her your daughter?"
"She has some powers of the heart and from what we can gather that's what the puppeteer wants." She explains to the sickly looking leader. Her blue grey eyes widened in shock powers of the heart without being a guardian.
"No wonder she wants her, so that's why there are two of you." The past leader before never truly understood why the girl had been taken but why is she in the past, she still couldn't figure out.
"Future Will why or how did your daughter get to the past?"
The flying red head looked down and stared at the pair of faces below.
"I hate to be even more rude then normal but can you two zip it until I have Verity in my arms and we have defeated the puppeteer." She huffed and went back to fly off down the small back hall. Neither saw the tear sliding down her face or the fear in her eyes for the safety of her daughter.
The trio could hear the yells from above and to the side of them; it was from the fighting of the rest of the guardians and rebels fighting to distract the puppeteer until they got to the bottom floor of the ruins of the palace.
Edwina pushed opened one of the large rotten wood doors, to find a glowing pink sphere of energy, it looked like the sphere that appears around them when they transformed into the guardians.
"What is that?" She went to touch the sphere when the two red heads came running in. They make Edwina to stop and look at them, the present Will went over to the sphere looked at it; inside she could see a small form trapped inside.
"Is that someone in there?" She poked the sphere and suddenly it burst open and a pink light flooded the room. All three females had to shield their eyes from the little but as it died down they could see the outline of a small person.
"Verity!" Future Will ran over to the unconscious five year old, she caught her as she floated down. Holding her close the little red headed girl opened her hazel eyes and saw her mommy's face looking down at her.
"Mommy? Mommy!" Verity latched onto the older Will's neck, she knelt onto the ground hugging her telling her it was alright and she was here.
"I was so scared she said something about my powers and wanting them." Her mother tried to hush and sooth her.
"I know honey I know. I will never let you go again." She picked her up and carried her towards the other two keepers.
"Mommy I can't feel my powers anymore." Came a muffled voice from big Will's neck.
"What does she mean?" Present Will looked at the others for answers, Edwina's eyes widened and she looked up at where the noise from the fight was coming from.
"No…" She whispers as she flies up and down the passageway. The others follow with future Will holding Verity in her arms.
"What's wrong is something wrong?" Present Will asked as she tried to catch up to the original keeper flew on; the future Will rolled her eyes thinking of course there is something wrong.
"The puppeteer must have her powers so basically unstoppable." Edwina yells against the rushes wind. The other two are shocked and hurry the pace to help the effort to beat the evil creature. As they made it further upstairs the noise from the battle got louder and louder.
The four females finally made it as the puppeteer who firing a beam of pink energy at Caleb.
"Caleb look out!" It was Taranee who had called out.
"Daddy!" Verity screamed and the beam stopped and suddenly stopped and fell away in power and didn't hit the rebel leader.
"Caleb, are you ok?" Present Will ran over to the rebel leader and checked him over seeing nothing wrong she glared at the puppeteer who was looking at Verity in future Will's arms.
"The girl what, how did see get her out!" She seemed shocked and almost scared at the woman holding her.
"You! You're the puppeteer I can't believe you're the one who did all this. You sent Verity to the past just to get a hold of her?"
"Of course she or her brothers are just what I was looking for, powerful but without the heart. But they were too heavily guarded by you for me to be sneaky and grab one I had to send one alone to a time where you are weaker. And I hit the jackpot but then you had to bring them here." She points to the fallen guardians who were just getting up and getting ready to attack but were stopped by what she was saying.
"But you need her locked by to feed from her and have total control." Future Will placed Verity down behind her and smirked at the puppeteer.
"Now we kick your butt." She gets a beam of light that becomes the sword from before but it looked stronger.
"Let's see if you are any good without my daughters powers, since she won't want me hurt none of those attacks will work and I'm stronger then this times Will so no freezing anymore." With those words she flew at the puppeteer who was trying to block her attacks but Will's sword was strong and broke though any defence the puppeteer had.
"What how can this be?" The puppeteer was angered at what was happening she couldn't use the girl's powers anymore and she was losing to one woman. Every one was watching the fight waiting for the time to help but it seems she has things under control.
With a final slash the puppeteer falls to the ground defeated but not finished. The older leader of the guardians looks down at the fallen enemy.
"Say goodbye no one threatens my family. EVER." With that her heart floats but then so does the other hearts, they combine into one and shine brilliantly, the puppeteer backs away in fear.
"I banish you to the darkest corner of hell. Heltso melotus dustoxs!" A black portal appeared under the puppeteer's body making her sink into it.
"No this can't be the end it just can't be!" She screamed as she sank into the portal.
"It is goodbye Puppeteer." The last thing she saw was the red headed leader picking up her daughter and hugging her.
"That was amazing!" Irma breathed as she watched the glowing heart turn back into three smaller hearts.
"Thank you for your help in getting my daughter back and helping save everything from the puppeteer, we will never have to worry bout her again." The older Will smiled as she hugged Verity and let a tear escape.
