Chapter Four
The Guardians
"Ugh." It moaned. "What the-?" It said as it rose from the ground.
"Where are we?" A girlish voice said.
"Who's there?"
"Chazz? Is that you?"
"Mindi? Where are you?" A new voice said.
"Jazz! Over here!" Mindi said as she brushed the dirt off of her uniform.
"What the? Where are we?" Chazz said after he got up and joined the two girls.
"Hey! Isn't that Aster Phoenix over there?" Jazz said pointing at him.
"Hey! Aster! Wake up!" Chazz cried as he ran over.
"Ugh, my head… Chazz? Where are we?" Aster said as he woke up.
"CHAZZ! MINDI, JAZZ! ASTER!" Several voices yelled out from the forest.
"Jaden?" Chazz and Aster said.
"Alexis! Bruno!" Mindi and Jazz said with extra emphasis on Bruno.
"HEY! You all ok?" Syrus and Kenzan said as they neared.
"Alexis! What's with the weird clothes?" Mindi asked her.
"Oh, these? I'm not sure, Aquos didn't get around to explaining that before he had to go." Alexis said as she reunited with her friends.
"Who's Aquos?" Syrus asked her.
"What's an Aquos?" Kenzan asked her.
"I'm Aquos."
"AH! It's a fishman!" Syrus yelled.
"I am not a Fishman. I am a Dolphin Man." Aquos said.
"Jaden, isn't he one of your cards?" Bastion.
"What's up with your clothes? And why are you all sweaty?" Mindi asked Alexis.
"Aquos gave these to me and Jaden, and we were training, with Aquos." Alexis glared at her brother and the lecher.
"Oh. That means I still have a shot!" Bruno yelled, before Alexis thumped him on the head with a spear.
"Where did you get that?" Atticus asked her.
"Aquos."
"Now, that we are done with that lets go to the nearby town." Everyone stared at him. "What? You didn't want to stay here for the night, did you? Come along, its just over that rise there." Aquos pointed over a hill. "Also, Syrus, Atticus, Aster, Kenzan, Bruno, Bastion, and Chazz, please see me as soon as you clean up."
"Whatever." Chazz ran off.
"Salvation!" Mindi cried before following Chazz.
"Hey, Jay, what's with that cool looking sword?" Syrus asked as they walked over the hill.
"Huh? Salazmandres?" Jaden asked.
"Salzermdus?" Kenzan tried it out.
"No, Salazmandres. It means Magma Heir, in the ancient archaic language of this world. If you use the archaic language of this world, and you are a designated guardian, then you can perform the Divnis Magu Krateir." Jaden said. When he noticed the blank look on his companions' faces, he started cracking up. "Sorry, Aquos has already taught me most of the language, so I sometimes slip into it. Divnis Magu Krateir cannot be translated into any language known to man, you either understand or you don't. But it's kinda like… I don't want to say magic, because it's so much more, but I guess that's as good as it gets."
"I… understand it." Kenzan said suddenly.
"Well that is to be expected young Guardian." Aquos said as he caught up with them.
"Guardian? Me?" Kenzan asked incredulous.
"Yes, you, Kenzan, are the Guardian of Rakhshous." Aquos said.
"Earth." Syrus said. "Wait, I understood that! Does that mean...?" Sy looked at Aquos hopefully.
"Yes, Syrus, you are the Guardian of Melatnigu. Jaden is the Guardian of Frisalzous. Alexis is the Guardian of Aquorais."
"Metal, Fire and lava, Water and Ice." Jaden said, pointing at each Guardian respectively.
"So... Does that mean we have to go on some really long and hard journey to save the world or somethin'?" Kenzan asked.
"I am afraid so. But you must quiet your questions for now; everything shall be explained in town." Aquos said as the group neared the town. Alexis was talking with Mindi and Jazz about something, Atticus and Bruno kept shooting Jaden dirty looks, Aster and Chazz kept to themselves, and Bastion was making some calculations on a laptop he seemed to get out of no-where. "Here we are! Welcome friends to Karikoko the Border Village!" (Karikoko: On the edge.)
Everyone gasped at the sight. It was more of a small kingdom, than a village really. It seemed that there was every different climate there. One side was like desert, the other a raging blizzard, and yet another seemed as if it was a jungle. It was frightening, yet invigorating. For Bruno it was a new place to pick up chicks, for Bastion it was a new puzzle for him to figure out, for Mindi and Jazz it was a giant mall, but for Jaden and Alexis, who where more in-tune to this world than the others, it was a disaster waiting to happen.
They shot each other uneasy glances. They knew something was wrong here. Aquos, as if reading their thoughts, spoke up: "Do not worry my friends, this town has so many different climates and such a diverse population because it is a border village. A border village is just that, a village on the border of worlds. You will see many things here that do not make sense in your world, yet make perfect sense here."
This settled their uneasy thoughts slightly, but when their weapons pulsed, they immediately went into a fighting stance that Aquos had taught them.
"Aquos! You bring unregistered HUMES into my town, and expect to go peacefully?!" A voice boomed to their left. What they saw was a behemoth. Yes, a behemoth, a rather small one in fact, but since he was the size of the Slifer Red Dorms, they panicked.
"Forgive me, Granis, but these are the Guardians! They have only arrived today! The prophecy foretold their coming and I went to greet them! I was hopping to register them in the town." Aquos started pleading with Granis.
"Large Wayfarer?" Bastion said.
"You!" Granis yelled, but upon getting a closer look at Bastion, he started bowing. "Forgive me great Guardian of Knaloudges, I didn't mean to yell at you."
"Wisdom?" Chazz asked.
"Knowledge actually, it's a common misconception." Aquos said.
"These Humes truly are the Prophetic Guardians Of Ages Past." Granis said blinking a few times. "Well! Come! We must prepare a great feast in your honor! I shall have all fifty-one thousand of my servants working tonight! You must stay with me in my Hawle!"
"You're…hall?" Mindi asked.
"Hawle, it means grand manor." Alexis said. Mindi and Jazz gave her a look that said 'Oh.'
"Tell me, Alexis, is that the legendary spear Umaqaosis?" Granis asked as they walked into the town.
"Yes, it is, but I still don't have the hang it." She said.
"Water Sprite…" Aster said.
"Yes! Very good Guardian of Ligtna."
"Light?" Chazz asked, hoping he was right this time.
"Yes. Chazz you are the Guardian of Ligtnagious, or lightning." Aquos said.
"So I'm light, Chazz is lightning, and Bastion is knowledge. So what are the others?" Aster asked, finally contributing something to the conversation.
"Bruno is the Guardian of Draklor and Atticus is the Guardian of Airases." Aquos said.
"Darkness and Wind." Bruno said.
"Come! We have arrived at the Hawle of Granis!" Granis boomed in front of them. They arrived at a building the size of the Obelisk Girls dorms. It had towers embroidered with silver and a magnificent archway studded with diamonds.
"Whoa. Are those real?" Jaden asked.
"yes, but diamonds are much easier to come across in this world than in your world." Aquos said.
"Come! The dinning hall is this way!" Granis shouted as he took a path to the left. They entered a beautiful hall with a gigantic table in the center. Its splendor would have put Seto Kaiba to shame. Everyone sat down and Granis ordered his servants to prepare the feast. "It will be an hour, I am sure you all are very hungry, but we must wait a bit."
"Aquos what exactly is Granis?" Bastion asked the Neo-Spacian.
"He is a behemoth. A small one compared to some of the ones I've seen roaming around in the wild." Aquos stated.
"Actually I am only half behemen, my father was a Raidier, and my mother was a behemoth." Granis said.
"Oh, I didn't know that." Aquos said.
"What's a Raidier?" Atticus asked.
"A Raidier is similar to a raider or pirate, but they are many times the size of a Hume." Aquos said.
"What is a Hume?" Bastion asked.
"A Hume is a human, but since many of the races in this world cannot accurately pronounce it, we shortened it to Hume." Granis said.
"There are many more Races in this world than there are different types of Duel Monster Cards." Aquos said.
"Master Granis the feast is ready." A servant said.
"Good! Bring it in!" Granis boomed.
Thousands of servants brought every kind of food imaginable and some that were not. They brought roast pig, and a gigantic turkey, and something that looked to be a cross between a giant fish and an elephant. After heroes had stuffed themselves senseless, Aquos stood up. "Now it is time for me to explain the prophecy."
