Some secrets are kept to keep people safe while other secrets are kept to hide a sinister plan of betrayal. In the end, a secret is kept for a reason. What you have to ask yourself is why.

4. Chapter IV

Chapter IV:

Elsewhere, Cassidy and Mandy were at the Heatherfield Community Center, swimming some laps in the pool to keep in shape for swimming try-outs so they'd be in top form. Both girls were in black one-piece swimsuits swimming their final lap. Once they were done, both girls were sitting on the edge of the pool to relax before taking a shower and leaving the gym to get a bite to eat.

"Oh man did that feel good!", Mandy said enjoying the feel of the water.

"You said it.", Cassidy agreed. "I know we're agreed to do this to keep in shape for try-outs, but it still feels good to be in the water sometimes."

"Don't have to tell me.", Mandy said. "So why didn't Will come with us here today?"

"Well, from what Kaddie tells me, the girls have a mission in three days.", Cassidy began to explain. "There's a world in wich some peace talks are going to take place. And Kaddie and Joe-Joe are the ones running the peace talks seeing as Kaddie is a well known former Guardian and Joe-Joe is a well known Mystic Battle Warrior."

"I see.", Mandy said. "Who better than them to be mediators for the peace talks. And here I thought Will didn't come here because she wasn't to happy about me being in Sheffield this school year."

"Well she isn't to jolly about it.", Cassidy replied. "She, along with some of the other girls on the swim team aren't to fond of someone from a rival school coming here and possibly joining the team."

"How do you feel about it?", Mandy asked.

"Are you kidding me!?", Cassidy questioned before wrapping an arm around Mandy's shoulder. "I say the more the merrier, girl!", she said putting a smile on Mandy's face."

"Thanks.", Mandy said. "I know that if I make it on the team, I'll be facing my old school during our swim meets."

"Don't worry to much about it, Mandy.", Cassidy said as they sat on the edge of the pool. "I got your back. And not all of the team are against you joining. Some would rather wait until the try-outs to see what you got."

"No pressure, huh.", Mandy said with a grin.

"No one said it would be easy.", Cassidy said as she got to her feet. "But right now, I say we go take a shower and go get something to eat."

"I could go for a nite to eat.", Mandy said as she got to her feet.

"Hey, girls!", came a familiar voice getting the girls attention.

"Hey, Matt!", Mandy said with a friendly smile that Matt returned.

"And what brings one of Earth's Regents here?", Cassidy asked with a sly smile. "Hoping to see Will here I bet."

"Well yeah.", Matt said. "Plus, I'm working out here with Joel and Peter."

"Oh.", Cassidy said in a not to happy tone.

"Now, now. Don't be like that, Cassidy.", Matt said. "We just got finished working out and taking a shower. On our way out, I noticed you two sitting by the pool and came to ask if you wanted to get something to eat with us."

"Thanks, but no thanks.", Cassidy said. "I don't think it's a good idea for me to be around Peter for a while. We both need time to not only cool off but to get use to not being together."

"And who says that you two can't get back together?", Matt questioned.

"Even I know the answer to that, Matt.", Mandy said.

"That shouldn't stop you two from trying to work things out.", Matt said.

"Maybe in the future. But not right now.", Cassidy said. "It's way to soon."

"Okay then.", Matt said. "How about you, Mandy? Up for a bite to eat? My treat."

"Sorry, but Cassidy and I have already made plans.", Mandy said with a kind smile. "But thanks anyway."

"No problem.", Matt said as he placed a friendly hand on Mandy's shoulder. "Catch you two later."

"See ya.", both girls said as Matt walked off to catch up with Peter and Joel.

"You know, you could have went with him.", Cassidy said.

"Maybe, but what kind of friend would I be if I were to of left you all alone?", Mandy asked.

"Thanks.", Cassidy said as they headed into the locker room to take their showers.

As for Matt, he had caught up with Peter and Joel who were waiting for him in the parking lot of the gym.

"I take it they said no.", Joel said.

"Pretty much.", Matt said. "Sorry fellas."

"Don't sweat it.", Peter said. "Things like this take time."

"Maybe. But I did get something out of it.", Matt said as he held up his right hand to show that he was wearing one of the rings that absorbs Mystic Battle Warrior energy. "Gentlemen, we now have ourselves some Phase Battle Warrior energy."

"Lose something, gain something.", Joel said. "Works for me."

"Talk about your silver lining.", Peter said as they got in Peter's car. "I say we go drop off the ring and get something to eat."

"Works for me.", Matt said as Peter drove off.

Four down, four to go.

About an hour earlier, Alchemy and Selece were in the Heatherfield Community Center, doing some working out in the weight room to keep their bodies in shape for gymnastics try-outs when they came up. Both girls were wearing black shorts and white tank-tops with sports bra under their tops and white sneakers. Both girls had quite the workout and were about to go take a shower when...

"Aw man! I haven't had a workout like that in a long time.", Alchemy said.

"Same here.", Selece said. "We're going to be feeling it tomorrow."

"But it will be worth it.", Alchemy said. "I mean I get a workout with the others every other day, but to get a good workout feels good sometimes. I only wish Mr. Vanders would finish remodeling his gym."

"Well Angelo told me that it would be about another week before the remodeling is done.", Selece said. "Something about making the showers bigger."

"Well we'll be to busy with the trials for the next few days to worry about it.", Alchemy replied.

"Angelo told me about that.", Selece said. "I've only know her for a few days, but I wish Elyon didn't have to go through all of that."

"You and me both.", Alchemy said. "But according to what Mia told us, it has to be done.", she said as they were about to go into the locker room.

"Hey, girls!"

Alchemy and Selece turned to see Will and Cornelia walking towards them.

"Hey!", Alchemy said.

"Don't tell me that you two already did your workout.", Cornelia said as she patted Alchemy on her shoulder with a grin.

"Yeah.", Alchemy said. "I told you that we'd be here around 3:10 this afternoon."

"Well I figured that you'd wait for me to show up so we could work out together.", Cornelia replied.

"Not with what Selece and I have to do later.", Alchemy said.

"And what's that?", Cornelia asked.

"Meet up with the others and go over what they have planned for the trials.", Selece answered.

"Oh. That.", Cornelia said in a dull tone. "Hod up! I don't remember you two being involved in the trials."

"We're not.", Selece said. "But we will be watching over Elyon to make sure nobody interferes."

"Interferes?", Will questioned.

"From what Mia told us, there may be some who are still loyal to Phobos who would love to mess things up for Elyon during the trials.", Alchemy explained. "So Angelo has those of us who aren't testing Elyon keeping watch over her from a distance to make sure no one tries to get in the way."

"If that's the case, why weren't the girls and I asked to help?", Will asked.

"Something about your duties as Guardians may call you away from Metamoor during the trials.", Selece said.

"This again!?", Cornelia questioned in annoyed tone. "What are the chances of us being called away on a mission?"

It was then Will felt the Heart of Kandrakar vibrate from under her shirt.

"You just had to say something.", Will said as she pulled out the Heart and saw it glowing.

"You've got to be kidding me.", Cornelia said in disbelief.

"Looks like swimming is out for today.", Will said. "Catch you later, Selece.", she said as she gave her friend a hug.

"Later!", Selece said before Will and Cornelia walked off.

"Talk about lucky.", Alchemy said as she and Selece headed into the girls locker room.

"Yeah!", Selece said with a giggle. "If I didn't know any better, I would say that Cornelia was going to go off."

"Same here.", Alchemy said. "Thank goodness for those little miracles.", she said with a laugh which got Selece laughing.

As for Will and Cornelia, once out of the gym, both girls ducked into an alley and looked at each other wondering what Kandrakar wanted them for this time. It was then that a fold opened up in front of them. Confused, both girls walked through the fold thinking the other girls were already there.

"Wonder what going on this time.", Cornelia said as they walked down the halls of the Fortress of Infinity.

"Don't know.", Will said. "But I did get what we needed.", she said as he held up her right had that had one of the energy absorbing rings on one of the fingers.

"Well what do you know.", Cornelia said with a smirk. "So did I.", she said showing that she was wearing one of the rings on her finger.

Both girls let out a giggle before they ended up in the main hall of the fortress where the Oracle and Tibor was waiting for them with kind smile.

"Greetings, Guardians.", he said with a bow. "I summoned you two here for your services are needed."

"Where are the other girls?", Will asked.

"I only need to inform you two about your mission.", the Oracle said. "You can inform your fellow Guardians later."

"Okay then.", Cornelia said. "What's our mission?"

"In four days, you are to be the bodyguards for Kadma and her husband Joe who will be the mediators for the peace talks between six different worlds.", the Oracle ordered. "These peace talks are important and must be settled without any problems. Which is why it is important that you and your fellow Guardians must be there."

"But if Kamda and her husband are the mediators why not ask Angelo and his fellow Batlle Warriors to be ther bodyguards.", Cornelia questioned.

"They shall have their hands full with the trials Queen Elyon is to be going through.", the Oracle informed. "Which you already know of."

"Well it's not like we can't take their place in running the trials.", Cornelia said.

"She has a point, Oracle.", Will said. "I feel that it should be us to do that in the first place seeing as we have more history with Elyon."

"Maybe. But the Elders of Metamoor choose those they feel are best suited to test Queen Elyon.", the Oracle said. "And we must respect that."

"But..."

"And further more, I gave you this mission.", the Oracle said. "Are you saying that I am wrong in giving it you?"

"No, Oracle.", WIll said. "We accept the mission."

"Good.", the Oracle said. "Return here in four days with your fellow Guardians and your fellow Guardians only. I will send you to the world where the peace talks will take place."

"Yes, Oracle.", Will said before opening a fold to Earth that she and Cornelia went through.

"Do you think it is wise to let things continue on like this, Oracle?", Tibor questioned. "We know what they are planning. We could stop this right here and now."

"Could we? Could we really, Tinor?", the Oracle questioned with a sad smile. "You and I both know that even if we were to try and stop them, they would find another way to accomplice their goals. Look at Nerissa. We thought we had her locked away in the jewel. Look how that turned out."

"So you are saying that we should let things play out?", Tibor questioned.

"Sadly yes.", the Oracle said. "For when all is said and done, we shall see who the true Guardians are in the end. And peace shall finally come to Metamoor."

"I hope you are right, my friend.", Tibor said as he turned to attend to his other duties. "I truly hope you are."

"As do I, Tibor.", the Oracle said with a serious yet sadden expression on his face. "As do I."

As for Will and Cornelia, once back on Earth, the two girls went to find Irma, Taranee, and Hay Lin to fill them in on what was happening as well as tell them that they got the energies from Selece and Alchemy. It was then that the Heart guided them to the park where they saw the girls talking with their boyfriends.

Six down, two to go.

Later that day, Will was on her way home when she saw Angelo and Micheal walking into the book shop. Seeing this as her chance to get the final two energies, she went into the book shop after them. The first she spotted was Micheal, who was looking for a cook book.

"And what do you plan on cooking?", Will asked as she walked up to him.

"Hey, Will.", Micheal said to Will. "I don't know yet. I'm trying to pick between Mexican and Japanese."

"Try Japanese.", Will suggested. "If it's anything like Chinese food, then you can't go wrong."

"Plus, I don't have to make it to spicy.", Micheal said as he took the Japanese cook book. "Thanks for the advice."

"No problem.", Will said as she touched Micheal's bare arm in a friendly manner. "Say, didn't Angelo come in here with you?"

"Yeah.", Micheal said. "He went to look through the "Books On CD" section."

"Thanks.", Will said as she went to said section.

Sure enough, there was Angelo looking through the CDs that had a whole book on them.

"Taking the easy path, huh?", Will asked as she walked up to one of her best friends.

"In this case, yes.", Angelo said as he continued to look through the many CDs that were there. "Ah! Found it! Great Rulers Of Our Time!"

"Great Rulers Of Our Time?", Will questioned. "Why would you want that?"

"You know why.", Angelo said. "I meant what I said about giving this all up to be with Elyon."

Will was a bit stunned by what Angelo said. Part of her still found it strange that Angelo would be willing to leave Earth to be with Elyon when the time came. It was something she wasn't willing to accept.

"Are you sure about that?", Will questioned. "I mean do you truly know what you'll be giving up? The technology. Your family, friends. Your families' fortune.", she said as he gently touched Angelo's shoulder.

"I know, Will. I know.", Angelo said. "I know what I'll be leaving behind. And I'm okay with that.", he said surprising Will. "And for the record, I won't be giving up my family and friends. You all can come and visit with fold crystals. And as for my share of the family fortune, my grandparents have it set so that I'll have enough to use when ever Elyon and I go on vacation here. So no worries."

"You still don't get it, do you?", Will questioned. "You'll be in a world in which some may not accept you as their king if you marry Elyon."

"If I marry, Elyon?", Angelo questioned. "You still think I'm going to back out and break up with her don't you?"

"Well I do remember you and your cousins saying how badly you five wanted to run the family businesses when you were older.", Will said.

"Things change.", Angelo said. "Plus, that was a few years ago. Now all five of us are Battle Warriors. There's a lot to consider now. But I've made my choice. I love Elyon. No question. At all. And we plan on being together for as long as we live. And as one of my best friends, I hope you'll be happy for us.", he said as he walked past Will. "I'll catch you later."

"Yeah. Later.", Will said surprised by what Angelo said.

It was then that she knew Angelo would stand by Elyon's side no matter what happens. She waited until Angelo and Micheal left the book shop and went down to the secret room that was the base for her and her fellow Guardians and those they let come down there. She then went to the small wooden box the special rings Caleb brought from Metamoor and placed two rings in there. One ring contained the energy she had just got from Micheal and the other contained energy she had just gotten from Angelo.

"That's all of them.", Will said as she placed the two rings in the box with the other rings that had energy from the other Mystic Battle Warriors. "You want a life with Elyon so badly, Angelo. Fine. I'll make sure that you get it. Only it won't be the life that you two have planned.", she said as she closed the box and placed it on the table and left the room and headed home.

All eight collected.

Back on Metamoor, in the temple of the Elders, the four Elders were meditating when they got a vision of Will placing the last two rings in the box.

"It has begun.", Pran said.

"Indeed.", Forren said as the four of them got to their feet. "The ones who claim to fight for good are turning down a dangerous path."

"One that will lead them to their own downfall", Zorram said sadly.

"The fools! Why would they listen to Rubis?!", Yerra questioned as she slammed the end of her staff on the stone floor. "Can they not see through his lies?!"

"He has them convinced they are doing the right thing for the young queen.", Forren replied. "That mixed with how some feel about the Battle Warriors, the Ice Guardian, and Princess Mia and her powers as the Nether Guardian, they are head set on doing what they have planned."

"There are going to be dark times for Meridian.", Pran said sadly. "Many will suffer."

"Do not be so sure about that, Pran.", Zorram said with a smile. "I see that many will be saved because of the brave Mystic Battle Warriors and their allies."

"Indeed.", Yerra said in agreement. "Meridian shall be saved. It may take a while but it shall be saved."

"And peace shall come to the kingdom.", Forren said while giving Pran a smile that she returned.

"After all that kingdom has been through, they deserve some peace.", Pran said. "And perhaps a bit more."

"Only time will tell, Pran.", Yerra said. "Only time will tell."

Three days

In three days time Elyon would be starting the trials to prove that she is worthy to be queen of Meridian. Which is kind of stressful for her. So to work off some stress, Mia has come up with a way to help work some off.

"Are you sure about this?", Elyon asked as she and Mia stood in the middle of the training field where she took the Guardians, Matt, and Caleb on a few months ago. "I mean we just had dinner and I could use some rest."

"Of course.", Mia said dressed in a pair of brown pants with a white shirt and black leather boots with a brown leather vest. "If anything, you'll be to tired to be stressed about the trials."

"I guess that makes sense.", Elyon said who was dressed in the same type of outfit Angelo gave her a while ago which was a pair of black pants with a teal shirt and brown leather boots and a teal hooded cloak..

"Plus, you did say that we needed to work on this.", Mia said with a smile.

"Yeah, but after the trials.", Elyon said.

"True.", Mia said. "But I want to try this at least once before the trials."

"And you agree with this?", Elyon asked Angelo who was sitting under a nearby tree.

"Well you do need to get your mind off the trials.", Angelo, who was transformed, said. "Maybe this will do the trick."

"Okay. Fine.", Elyon said as she stood up straight. "Let's get this over with."

"Okay then.", Mia said as she stood up straight.

'Plus, we can do what you've been thinking about for a while now.', Mia said to her sister telepathiclly with a smirk.

'Mia!', Elyon shouted mentally with a blush.

'Don't you "Mia!" me!', Mia said with a grin. 'You're the one thinking it.'

'But I...'

'Don't worry, Elyon.', Mia said with a smile. 'I know that you don't want togo to far with Angelo.'

Both sisters said nothing as they knew that they have came to an understanding about things. As for Angelo, he just watched as both sisters stood in front of each other. They then closed their eyes and went into their Zenith forms. Elyon which is yellow-white aura around her, while Mia's is a purple-black aura around her.

"Light!", Elyno shouts.

"Shadows!", Mia shouts

"Of Meridian!", yell the sisters in unison, grasping each other's hand. "Combine!"

"Here it comes!", Angelo said knowing what was coming as he braced himself.

A split second later, the two bodies became a color of violet and white followed by a shockwave of energy that Angelo formed an energy force field around himself to block the shockwave. The two colors twisting around each other until a shining beam of gray light pierces the skies and illuminated the land, hiding inside it a power unimaginable. The beam soon shrinks, and starts to be absorbed into a single figure while the sky returned back to normal. Soon the light faded from around the figure to reveal a young woman with golden eyes and white hair with black streaks that went down to her rear. She was wearing black pants and a white shirt with white plate armor streamed with golden lines over it. Coming out of her back were a set of Guardian wings only larger.

"Xaos?", Angelo questioned as he walked up to her.

"Yes. I am Xaos.", the woman said with a voice that was a combination of Elyon and Mia's voice as she looked at Angelo. "You are Angelo. I remember you from the last time."

"Yeah.", Angelo said as he got a good look at Elyon and saw how she looked like the Guardian Elyon from the other universe he went to. "So how do you feel?"

"I feel the powers of both Escanor women flowing through me.", Xaos said. "Their thoughts. Their feelings. Their worries and fears. Everything.", she said as she looked at her hands. "It feels... strange, yet exciting."

"Yeah. They figured you'd feel something like this.", Angelo said. "So they wanted you to test out your powers a bit and to see how long you can stay like this."

"I do not wish to use my powers.", Xaos said. "I know my limits thanks to both Escanor women. As for how long I can stay like this, I do not know. I guess it depends on what kind of shape both Escanor women were in when they fused to form me."

"Well they were in good shape.", Angelo said. "Granted Elyon was a bit stressed about the trials."

"Not when she fused with her sister to form me.", Xaos said with a smile. "Thanks to her sister, she was calm and at peace. So I shall remain like this for whatever the max time allowed."

"Okay then.", Angelo said as he jumped a few feet away from Xaos and took off his hoodie revealing a white T-shirt that hugged his chest showing off his mucsles. "Let's see how good fighter you are."

For a moment, Xaos couldn't help but stare at Angelo as he stood there in his fighting position. The Elyon in her was very attractived by this. Even the Mia in her was impressed by this. But Xaos quickly shook it off as she took a fighting stance. Not wasting anytime, Xaos dashed at Angelo to begin their sparring match. As they were throwing punches and kicks at each other, Angelo was quite impressed with Xaos' moves. It did indeed feel as if he was sparring with Elyon and Mia. This was something he never thought would bo down, but he wasn't complaining. By doing this, Angelo knew that Meridian had a great warrior in Xaos. And at the same time, Xaos was impressed aty how well, Angelo was able to keep up with her. Sure, she got a some good blows in, but Angelo got some good hits in as well. It was then that she remembered that Angelo would do some sparring with Elyon and Mia. So of course he would know how to fight her. It was then that they hit each other at the same time and knocked each other back a few feet.

"You are quite the fighter.", Xaos said with a smirk as she stood in her fighting stance panting. "No wonder you are the leader of your team."

"Thanks.", Angelo said as he too was standing in his fighting position panting. "You're pretty tough yourself. But we both know that with your powers, you're the strongest between us."

"Perhaps. But I held back so not to go to far and possibly lose control.", Xaos confessed. "I've only come into being twice."

"Fair enough.", Angelo said. "Then maybe we should stop now before that happens."

"I believe that is the right course of action.", Xaos said as they both dropped their fighting stances.

"So what do you wish to do now?", Angelo asked.

"I wish to see this kingdom with my own eyes.", Xaos said. "I have plenty of energy left to do that. And then some."

"Do you want me to come with you?", Angelo asked.

"No. I will be fine.", Xaos said as she spreaded her wings and took to the sky. "I shall return soon!"

"Have fun!", Angelo said as he headed back to the palace. "Well that was interesting. I wouldn't mind going toe to toe with her again."

As for Xaos, she couldn't help but smile as she flew through the skies of Metamoor. This was, after all, her home. She knew that she wouldn't have many times like this, so she was going to enjoy this for as long as she could. So with a smile on her face, Xaos flew over the land that was her home. So to speak. Later that evening, Angelo was heading to the chambers Elyon had set up for him when he came to visit. He, of course, wasn't transformed seeing as there was no need for him to be.

"What a day.", Angelo said as he entered his chambers. "I wonder how Xaos is doing.", he said as he used his powers to turn on the portable lights that he had set up in his chambers.

It was then that Angelo saw Xaos sitting on his bed.

"Whoa!", Angelo said surprised to see Xaos in his chambers.

"Hello.", Xaos said with a small smile.

"Warn a guy the next time you do that!", Angelo said.

"My apologies.", Xaos said. "From the queen's memories, you like it when she surprises you like this."

"Well... yeah.", Angelo said before he saw the sad look on Xaos' face. "Something wrong?"

"I've flown over this land and seen many things.", Xaos said. "I've seen the plants, the animals, and homes with families being happy. And I've seen couples being happy together.", she said with a sad expression. "It was then that I realise that there is one thing I haven't experienced yet."

"What's that?", Angelo asked as he kicked off his shoes.

"Love.", Xaos said with a small smile as she blushed a bit.

"Are you kidding?", Angelo questioned with a grin. "Of course you have.", he said to which Xaos looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You have the love of Elyon and Mia in you. You have the love of their parents. Both biological and adoptive. And there's me and all of our friends that got love for you. You've got plenty of love around you, Xaos. So don't hink like that."

"I'm not talking about that kind of love.", Xaos said as she got up and walked towards Angelo.

It was then that Xaos gave Angelo a quick peck on the lips surprising him.

"I meant that kind of love.", Xaos said with a smile while blushing a bit.

"Oh.", was all Angelo could say. "I see."

"I am sorry.", Xaos said as she backed away from Angelo. "I did not mean to offend you. "I just figured that after all you and the queen have done..."

"That I'd be okay with doing some things with you.", Angelo finished to which Xaos nodded. "Listen, Xaos. I get it. You want to know what it feels like. But I'm not sure if Elyon and Mia would be okay with that."

It was then that Xaos walked up to Angelo and before he knew it slipped his Battle Warrior ring off his finger.

"Hey!", Angelo said as Xaos pressed her forehead to his.

It was then that Xaos formed a link between her and Angelo. Angelo suddenly found himself standing in the royal garden that had many flowers.

"What the heck!?", Angelo questioned as he walked around the garden. "How did I get here?"

"Hey, Angelo.", came Elyon's voice.

"Elyon?!", Angelo questioned as he turned to see Elyon and Mia walking towards them. "Mia?! What's going on? Where are we?"

"Xaos formed a link with you.", Mia explained. "We're in her head."

"Why?", Angelo questioned.

"To see if we'd be okay with... Well you know.", Mia said.

"Oh. That.", Angelo said. "Just say the word and I'll tell her no."

"Yeah. About that.", Elyon said with a small smile and slight blush. "You know how Xaos is basically me and Mia fused together. Right?"

"Yeah.", Angelo said.

"And how what we mostly think, Xaos thinks as well.", Mia said with a slight blush of her own.

"Yeah.", Angelo said before it clicked. "OH! Whoa! Wait a minute!"

"Hold on now!", Mia said as she held a hand up. "Before you jump to any weird conclusions, let us explain."

"Please do.", Angelo said.

"Xaos may be the combined versions of me and Mia, but she is still her own person.", Elyon explained. "And we know what she thinks."

"So when she began to wonder about love and what it felt like...", Angelo began to say.

"Elyon and I figured that who better that you to show her.", Mia said.

"And you're okay with this?", Angelo asked Elyon.

"Well it's still me you'd be with.", Elyon said.

"Plus your sister.", Angelo added.

"Yes. But if we don't do this, then Xaos may go find one who wouldn't care about that.", Mia said.

"What about Feros?", Angelo asked Mia.

"I will explain things to him in time.", Mia said. "But right now, Xaos needs this. "And I'd rather it be from one who loves my sister enough to not take advantage of Xaos."

"Just do with her what you'd do with me.", Elyon said as she held Angelo's hand.

"Okay. I'll do it.", Angelo said. "It's going to be weird. Very weird. But if you two are sure about this..."

"We are. But...", Elyon began to say.

"See! I knew it!", Angelo said. "You don't want to do this, Ellie!"

"It's just that Mia will know how I feel when you and I... you know.", Elyon said with a blush.

"Then I won't do anything with Xaos.", Angelo said.

"But if you don't, she may go find someone who would love to brag about making love with both Escanor women.", Elyon said.

"And I'd rather not let hat happen.", Mia replied.

"Me neither.", Elyon said

"I see your point.", Angelo said. "Especially when I can just go so far with her like I do with you.", he said to Elyon. "Guess I got to do this, huh?"

"Guess so.", Elyon said with a small smile that Angelo returned.

"And don't worry, Angelo.", Mia said. "After this night, I shall do my best to contain myself around you.", Mia joked with an innocent smile getting a laugh out of Elyon.

"Oh brother.", Angelo said before the link was cut.

Angelo then opened his eyes to find that he was back in his chambers with Xaos who handed him back his ring.

"Whoa.", Angelo said as he steadied himself. "That was intense."

"My apologies.", Xaos said. "But it was the only thing I could think of for you to talk to both Escanor women."

"Understandable.", Angelo said as he put his ring back on. "And I get it. You want it to be with one who wouldn't try and take advantage of you.", he said getting a nod from Xaos.

"And I understand that you will not go to far seeing as you wish to wait until you are married.", Xaos said as she walked over to Angelo's bed.

"Thank you.", Angelo said as Xaos took her boots off.

"But can I make a request?", Xaos asked as she stripped out of her armor.

"What kind of request?", Angelo questioned.

"Can you transform into your Mystic Battle Warrior form?", Xaos asked with a small smile. "I mean you know disrespect to you in your normal form. It is just that you are taller in that form."

"I see.", Angelo said. "I guess that makes sense.", he said as he held out his ring. "Mystic Storm! Battle Form!"

Angelo then transformed into his Mystic Battle Warrior form. Xaos couldn't help but smile at this as she took off the last of her armor before walking up to Angelo.

"Better?", he asked.

"Yes.", Xaos said as she placed her hands on his chest smiling. "This feels... nicer."

"Oh boy.", Angelo said knowing that this was going to be an interesting night. "Let's start this nice and slow." he said as he wrapped his arms around Xaos' slim waist.

Angelo then pulled Xaos closer to him and claimed her lips with a kiss that she returned as she wrapped her arms around Angelo neck deepening the kiss as they stood there before making their way towards the bed as they began to strip out of their clothes leaving nothing but their undergarments on as they sat on the bed. Xaos couldn't help but have a blush on her face as she sat on the bed in nothing but her bra and underwear with Angelo who sat there in his boxer briefs. It was then that Angelo pulled Xaos into another kiss that she welcomed as she held onto his toned arms nervously. Xaos was enjoying the kiss when she felt something push past her lips and hit her teeth. Taking a chance, she opened her mouth allowing Angelo's tounge to enter her mouth while she did the same with her tounge. Soon the need for air came for Xaos seeing as this was her first time. Knowing this, Angelo laid her down on the bed gently. Xaos smiled at Angelo as she gently touched the side of his face.

"Do not stop.", Xaos said softly. "I wish for more."

Angelo said nothing as he reached behind Xaos, who sat up a bit, and undid her bra. Xaos then slowly took it off and tossed it to the floor with the rest of her clothes and blushed as her chest was exposed to Angelo who smiled at her before he went down to her underwear and gently took them off which caused Xaos to blush even more as he tossed her underwear to the floor. Xaos then realised that she was laying on Angelo's bed nude and at his mercy so to speak. She also noticed that Angelo still had his boxer briefs on and reached for them and slowly took them off and tossed them to the floor.

"This feels strange.", Xaos said with a small smile. "But exciting."

"It can be like that.", Angelo said as propped himself over Xaos who was laying on the bed. "Do you wish to continue?", he asked to which Xaos nodded.

Angelo said nothing as he kissed Xaos who returned the kiss as she ran her hands up and down Angelo's back. Angelo then sat up on his knees and pulled Xaos up and turned her around so that her back was facing him. He then, being careful of her wings, went to Xaos' neck moved some of her hair out of the way and began to suck on the right side of Xaos' neck getting moans of pleasure from her as she grabbed onto the sheets of the bed as she closed her eyes and tilted her head to the side giving Angelo more access to her neck enjoying what Angelo was doing to her. Angelo then moved his hands up to Xaos' bosom and began to massage her mounds gently making her moan in pleasure as she was enjoying every moment he was giving her. Angelo then switched to the other side of her neck getting more moans from Xaos as she began to slowly grind up and down slowly which resulted in grinding her rear against Angelo's member which resulted in it getting erect. Feeling this, Xaos jumped a bit surprised at how she was doing that to Angelo. Angelo could tell that Xaos was enjoying what was going on by the moans of pleasure she was letting out. Mainly from the treatment he was giving her bosom by the hardness of their tips. But he knew how far to go without arousing her to much as he slowly stopped what he was doing. Once he did this, he laid Xaos down on the bed and saw that she had a very deep blush as sweat was running from her forehead from what just happened as her chest was rising up and down at a face pace. Angelo then laid down next to her and took the cool sheets of the bed and pulled it over them both. Angelo then kissed Xaos on the forehead before wrapping a protective arm around her waist gently. Feeling this, Xaos slowly calmed down as she wrapped her arms around Angelo while resting her head on his chest which allowed her wings to spread a bit as the cool air blew through the window.

"Thank you.", Xaos said softly. "I know that wasn't easy for you to do."

"True.", Angelo said. "But I also know that Elyon was a part of this and hopefully enjoyed it as well."

"She did.", Xaos said with a small smile as she snuggled up closer to Angelo.

Hearing that, made Angelo smile knowing that Elyon enjoyed what they did.

"Goodnight, Xaos.", Angelo said as they laid together in the bed.

"Goodnight, Angelo.", Xaos said with a smile as she yawned. "And thank you."

Soon the both of them fell asleep knowing that this would be a night they wouldn't forget. Soon morning came and the Guardians had arrived to talk to Elyon and apologize for the other day to hopefully make things right with her. But when they arrived at her quarters the guards had informed them that Elyon hadn't been in hr quarters all night.

"I think I know where she is.", Hay Lin said as they walked down the hall towards Angelo's chambers.

"Where else would she be?", Will questioned with a grin.

"Doesn't she know that people will talk?", Cornelia questioned. "Doing this kind of thing on Earth is one thing, but to spend the night with Angelo here is another.", she said as Cassidy came out of her chambers dressed in a blue thin-strapped nightgown with a light blue robe over it.

"What are you guys doing here so early?", Cassidy questioned before yawning.

"We came to talk to Elyon.", Irma explained. "And instead of being in her chambers, she spent the night with Angelo."

"Go, Elyon.", Cassidy said with a smirk.

"Are you kidding me?", Cornelia questioned. "She can't just go and sleep with Angelo here. This isn't Earth!"

"Oh relax, Corny.", Cassidy said with the wave of her hand. "It's not like Elyon and Angelo are having sex."

"That's not the point!", Cornelia said. "She has an image to uphold as queen. She can't just go and do something like this here. It isn't right!"

"Especially with the trials only two days away.", Irma said as they came to the door to Angelo's chambers.

Cornelia was about to kick the door open when...

"Hold up, Corny!", Will said. "We can't just go and barge in there! Let's knock first."

"Not this time!", Cornelia said as she braced herself. "Someone has to remind her of her position as queen. And it should be me seeing as I'm her best friend.", she said as she used her telekinesis to knock the door open. "Wake up, you two! We've got to... OH MY DEAR LORD!"

All six girls were shocked to see Angelo and Xaos in bed together!

"Well this just got interesting.", Cassidy said with a smirk.

A/N: Well this has been a strange turn of events. Looks like Angelo and Xaos have a bit of explaining to do. But then again, Corny may have some explaining to do after knocking the door to Angelo's chambers open. And will the girls understand what Angelo and Xaos did that night? Only one way to find out!

Please review.
