Chapter Fifteen: Guardian Rescue: Quintessence

Part 2

Angelo then ran and jumped in after her. Once he was close enough to her, he saw that she was unconscious.

'Got to move faster!', he thought to himself as he swam towards Nerissa.

Once he was close enough, he grabbed her hand, and pulled her closer to him. He then wrapped his left arm around her waist, began to swim towards the surface.

'Have to hurry!', Angelo thought as he got closer to the surface.

As they got closer to the surface, Nerissa began to come to, as she slowly opened her eyes.

'What happened?!', Nerissa thought to herself as she noticed Angelo was holding her. 'Oh yeah! I'm underwater!'

Soon they were at the surface, as they both took in a breath of air.

"You okay?!", Angelo asked Nerissa.

"I think so!", she answered.

Suddenly, a twister of air came at them sending them into the air. The twister then brought them both back to the beach. Angelo and Nerissa saw that the twister came from Eric's Shield.

"Thanks man.", Angelo said.

"Yeah.", Nerissa said. "It's good to be on dry land."

"No problem.", Eric said.

"Now we just have to break that crystal shell.", Angelo replied.

"Leave that to me!", Nerissa said. "Just keep those two busy!"

"Gotcha!", Angelo and Eric said as they ran to join Cassidy and Nigel.

Nerissa then ran towards the crystal shell. Once she was close enough, she extended her, now glowing Star Whip-Blade, wrapping it around the crystal shell.

"I hope this works!", she said to herself.

"Oh no you don't!", Shadar and Shadin yelled as they charged at Nerissa.

"Oh yes she does.!", Cassidy said as she and the other Dragon Knights rammed the two Shadow Generals, knocking them away from Nerissa.

"Do it Nerissa!", Angelo said as they stood in Shadar and Shadin's way.

"Star Whip-Blade Crusher!", she yelled as she pulled back on her weapon crushing the crystal shell.

When her attack finished, she pulled her Whip-Blade back into it's sword form as the crystal shell began to crack more and fall apart until it shattered, freeing Will. And like all the others, the beam of energy faded away. Once the crystal shell shattered, Shadar and Shadin's glow faded, leaving them powerless.

"NO!", Shadin yelled. "Our plan was fool proof!"

"Guess you didn't plan everything out, fool!", Cassidy said.

"And now to finish this!", Nerissa yelled as she raised her Whip-Blade in the air. "Star Whip-Blade Assault!"

Suddenly, the Star Whip-Blade broke into smaller sections, and flew at Shadar and Shadin, hitting them multiple times. With each hit, their armour was getting cut or badly dented. As the attack was happening, Angelo went and picked Will up in his arms.

"I still can't believe she's one of them.", he said as he walked back towards the others.

Once her attack was done, their pieces returned back to the hilt of the sword.

"Nicely done.", Eric said.

"Thanks.", Nerissa said as she put her weapon away.

"We were so close!", Shadin cried as her and Shadar's armour began to glow.

"At least we go together, sister.", Shadar said as he held Shadin's hand.

"Farwell, brother.", Shadin said.

"Far well to you too, sister.", Shadar said as they both fell to the ground exploding.

The energy from the explosion shot up towards the air, into the dark clouds. The dark clouds then slowly faded away, showing a clear blue sky. Nigel and Eric then noticed the clothes the others had, when they were at the beach, before Shadon first came, and gathered them up for the others. Seeing as their job was done, Cassidy pulled out the locator gem, letting it float in the air, and teleporting them back to Angelo's home.

At the Vanders' home, the others looked out the window to see the dark clouds fading away, as the sunlight shined through. They then looked down to see some Dragon Knights, that were fighting, the now retreating, Shadow Minions that were roaming the streets, raising their weapons and cheering.

"All hail the chosen five!", one of them, with a battle axe, shouted.

"All hail the chosen five!", the other Dragons Knights cheered, as they all raised their weapons. "All hail the chosen five!"

"Wow!", Cornelia grinned. "The guys have only been Dragon Knights for a few days, and they already have fans! How come we didn't get love like that, when we first started?!"

"We Dragon Knights have been waiting a long time for the chosen five to come.", John replied looking out the window. "So, seeing the dark clouds gone from Heatherfield, means that Angelo and the others have beatened the last of the Shadow Generals."

Everyone looked down to see the Dragon Knights looking up at them.

"Are they looking at us?", Irma asked.

The Dragon Knights then bowed to them and teleported away.

"You must be proud of Angelo, huh?", Hay Lin suggested, looking up at him.

"Darn right we are!"

Everyone turned around to see Grandpa Joe, Kadma, and Yan Lin walking through a fold.

"Welcome back.", John said as he walked up and hugged his parents.

"Grandma!", Hay Lin cheered as she ran up and hugged her grandmother.

"I'm glad to see you too, kiddo.", Yan Lin said as they pulled apart. "All 'four' of you."

"Soon to be five.", Kadma added. "We saw their battle in Kandrakar. It was quite amazing."

Just then, the five Dragon Knights appeared in a flash of light, with Angelo holding Will, in his arms.

"I'm never getting used to that.", Eric said as he transformed back to normal.

"The teleporting or the fighting.", Nigel said as he changed back to normal.

"A little bit of both.", Eric said. "Hey, Hay........."

Eric was cut short as Hay Lin jumped at him, giving him a hug.

"Welcome back.", Hay Lin said as she hugged Eric. "I was so worried about you."

"I'm okay, Hay Lin.", Eric said as they pulled apart. "We beat, the last two Shadow Generals, and freed Will."

"How is she doing?", Irma asked as Angelo laid Will on one of the couches.

"Like it was, for the rest of you, it's going to be awhile before she wakes up.", Joe said walking up to them.

Just then, the Heart of Kandrakar appeared and floated above Will.

"What's that?", Eric asked.

"The Heart f Kandrakar.", Yan Lin said walking towards the Heart.

The Heart then shot beams of light at Will and the other Guardians. Once the beams faded, the girls were back in their normal forms, wearing the swimwear they had on at the beach few days ago.

"A forgot we were at the beach a few days ago.", Irma said.

"Time does fly.", Nigel said as he changed back to normal.

"I'm just glad things are back to normal.", Taranee said as she stood by Nigel. "Now if only we had our clothes."

"Got them.", Cassidy said as she changed back. "Nigel and Eric found them, when we after we beat the two Shadow Generals, at Shell Beach."

"You may have to shake some sand out of them.", Eric said.

"At least they're not wet.", Nerissa said as she changed back, with her hair still wet.

"What happened to you?", Cornelia asked as she gathered her clothes.

"I got tossed in the water.", Nerissa said as she flipped her wet hair back. "I'm going to take a shower."

As Nerissa headed upstairs, Will began to wake up slowly.

"I thought it was going to be awhile before she woke up.", said.

"When the Heart changed the girls back to normal, it must of restored their strenght.", Kadma replied.

"Where am I?", Will asked as she slowly sat up.

"It's okay, Will.", Hay Lin said as she hugged her friend. "The guys rescued you. Heck they rescued all of us!"

"What are you talking about?", Will asked.

"It's a long story.", Cornelia said sitting next to Will.

"And while you all tell it,", Angelo said as he turned toward Irma. "you and I need to talk."

"Ooooooooohhh!", the other Dragon Knights and Guardians, besides Will said as Angelo and Irma, who gathered her clothes, walked upstairs to the roof of the building.

"What was that all about?", Will asked.

"We'll tell you later.", Taranee said. "But first........."

A/N: Well, the Guardians are all rescued, and are at full power! Now the Dragon Knights can get some rest before the big battle on Metamoor. I wonder what Angelo is going to say to Irma?
