Chapter 2:
There Yan Lin stood before the eight of them. A warm smile on her face knowing that they tried to find one of the Beast of Legend on their own.
"So, you tried to find the Thunderbird and he turned you away.", Yan Lin said.
"Yeah.", Will said.
"And it told you to find the Griffin first.", Yan Lin said.
"Uh-huh.", Hay Lin said.
"That's because, Fire and his friend aren't looking for him yet.", Yan Lin said.
"But they're looking for Griffin now.", Stephen figured.
"Corrct.", Yan Liln said.
"So, we have to find the Griffin before Fire and his friends do.", Matt said.
"And we can be sure that Fire will have another one of his friends with him.", Irma said.
"And that will be Earth.", Taranee said. "She has these thorns that have something in them that will knock you out."
"Trust me, when we say that it works well.", Angelo said as he rubbed his arm where he got shot at remembering when he got hit by on of Earth's knock-out thorns.
"We know.", Irma said. "Cause the only way we found you was when Corny tripped over you when you were knocked-out."
"So, how do we find the Griffin?", Hay Lin asked.
"The same way we tried to find the Thunderbird.", Will said. "But we'll need Cornelia."
"So, who's going to go get her?", Irma asked.
Everyone then looked at Irma smirking.
"Oh, no!", Irma said holding up her right hand. "I'm not going to interrupt her date with Peter."
"But you and Peter are partners.", Hay Lin said. "Just contact him through your wristband."
"Oh yeah!", Irma said as she held up her right wrist her metal wristband with a symbol of the Leviathan on it. "Yo, Pete!"
Back on Earth, Peter and Cornelia were heading into a ice cream pallor when suddenly...
"Yo, Pete!"
"What the... Irma?", Peter questioned as he looked down at his metal wristband with a symbol of the Leviathan on it.
"Irma?", Cornelia questioned as she looked around. "Where?"
"No clue.", Peter said as he raised his wristband up to himself. "She's talking to me through our wristbands."
"We so need to find the Griffin, so I can have one of those.", Cornelia said.
"What is it Irma?", Peter asked as he spoke into the wristband.
"We need you guys to come to Kandrakar ASAP!", Irma said. "We've found a way to find the Griffin, but we need Corny to do it!"
"Cool!", Peter said.
"Go to the magic bus.", Irma said. "Cornelia knows where it is. Will is heading there now."
"We'll be there.", Peter said.
"Did they find the Griffin or Thunderbird?", Cornelia asked.
"No.", Peter said. "But they do know of a way to find the Griffin."
"Really?", Cornelia asked being hopeful.
"Yeah!", Peter said. "Irma says to go to the magic bus. She says that you know where it is today."
"Yeah!", Cornelia said. "It's actually down near the docks."
"Lucky for us, we're here at the boardwalk.", Peter said as they headed for the docks.
Once at the docks, they quickly spotted the magic bus. And who couldn't? I mean it's pink for crying out loud! Once on the bus, Will was there waiting for them with a fold to Kandrakar at the ready.
"What took you guys?", Will said smiling.
"Funny.", Cornelia said with a smirk. "So, how do we find the Griffin?"
"The same way I tried to find the Thunderbird, but failed.", Will said as they headed through the fold.
"What do you mean?", Peter asked.
"Well,..."
Will then explained what happened when they tried to locate the Thunderbird.
"So, it told you to find the Griffin first because Fire and his friends are looking for it right now.", Cornelia questioned.
"Yep!", Will said as they stood before the doors of the Training Room. "So we figured that if you're next to me when I use the Heart to find the Griffin, we might be able to find it."
"Sounds like a plan to me.", Peter said as they went into the Training Room, where the others were waiting for them.
"What took you guys so long?", Irma asked jokingly.
"Everybody has jokes today.", Cornelia said as she walked past Irma.
"What did I say?", Irma asked.
"Don't ask.", Peter said with a grin.
"Okay guys!", Will said. "Let's get this show on the road!"
Evreybody then sat in a circle, with Cornelia sitting next to Will. Will the called forth the Heart and began to focus on the Griffin. The others did the same thing too. As Yan Lin stood their she noticed that all of them had a aura of light around them. Taranee and Angelo's were reddish-orange while Hay Lin and Eric's were violet. Irma and Peter's were blue while Cornelia's was green and Will's was pink. Matt and Stephen's were white seeing as they had no power yet.
'Impressive.', Yan Lin thought to herself. 'To see their aura's like this shows that they're working well together.'
As they sat there, the ten of them began to see a firgure form in their minds.
"I see something!", Cornelia said as the figure became more clear. "I think it's the Griffin!"
"I think you're right.", Stephen said.
And sure enough, it was the Griffin! From it's large wings, to it's razor sharp claws. They saw the Griffin as it was flying through the skies towards a mountain. It then flies up to a cliff where an opening to a cave is. It then walks into it's cave. And then suddenly, the vison goes black. Everyone then opens their eyes, all amazed at what they saw.
"Whoa!", Cornelia said. "Did you guys see that?"
Everyone nodded knowing what they saw together.
"We saw the Griffin.", Matt said. "But where is it?"
"Well, we know it's in a mountain.", Hay Lin said.
"Well, from what I read, Griffins were said to live in Mongolia.", Stephen explained.
"That's all the way in China!", Peter replied.
"I remember watching a TV show that said they lived in the northern parts of China.", Angelo said. "Besides. I have this feeling that's where the Griffin is."
"Maybe the Heart can take us there, like Yan Lin did when we went to Greece.", Taranee figured.
"What do you think, Grandma?", Hay Lin asked.
"If the Heart helped you see the Griffin, it should be able to take you there as well.", Yan Lin said.
"Then let's go!", Will said as she was ready to open a fold to Mongolia.
"Hold it!", Cornelia said. "As much as I'd like to go and find the Griffin, we should wait until tomorrow to do this."
"Why?", Irma asked.
"Because most of the day is gone.", Cornelia replied. "We have to get home before our parents get worried."
"You have a point there.", Irma said. "Looks like we'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Actually, me and Eric can search for the Griffin.", Angelo said.
"We can?", Eric questioned.
"You can?", Hay Lin questioned.
"Yeah!", Angelo said. "Remember. Uncle John knows about all of this. And Eric is staying with us for the Summer."
"Which means that you two can go looking for the Griffin!", Irma said.
"No! No! No!", Hay Lin said getting everybodies attention as she grabbed onto Eric. "What if Fire and his friends are there looking for the Griffin? You could get hurt!"
"I'll be okay, Hay Lin.", Eric said.
"Besides, we're not going to try and fight Fire and his crew.", Angelo said. "That's just plain crazy."
"Then what are you going to do?", Taranee questioned.
"Just search.", Angelo said. "If we find the Griffin, we'll come back to Kandrakar. That way tomorrow, we can go from here to the spot where we left Mongolia."
"But how will you get there and back?", Irma asked.
"I can answer that.", Yan Lin said. "I can send them to Mongolia. And to get back, use this."
Yan Lin then handed Angelo a green crystal shard.
"Use that to return to Kandrakar.", Yan Lin said. "That way, when you all come back here tomorrow, you can go back there right where the Griffin is."
"And hopefully we won't run into Fire and his friends.", Eric said.
"Just be careful.", Hay Lin said as she hugged Eric.
"I'll be careful, Hay Lin.", Eric said as he returned the hug.
Eric then leaned down and kissed Hay Lin lovingly. A kiss she returned.
"Please be careful.", Taranee said with worry as she faced Angelo.
"It'll be okay, taranee.", Angelo said as he held her hands. "Besides. If I get captured, I know you'll come for me and let nothing stop you."
A smile came Taranee's face when Angelo said that. They both then shared a kiss showing the feelings they had for each other. Aneglo and Eric then stepped back from their girlfriends and stood side by side. They then looked at each other and nodded as they held up their metal wristbands.
"Legend Form!", they both said.
"Flames of the Phoenix!", Angelo said.
"The Winds of Pegasus!", Eric said.
Suddenly, a thing of fire came out of Angelo's wristband as it glowed red and covered him in a ball of fire. When the ball of fire faded away, Angelo stood before them in his Legend form. From Eric's wristband a glow of voilet light shined from it as a funnel of air formed around him. Once the funnel air faded Eric stood there in his Legend form.
"This will take you to where you need to be.", Yan Lin said as she opened a fold to Mongolia. "Both of you be careful."
"Yes, ma'am.", Eric and Angelo said before going through the fold.
Hay Lin and Taranee watched as the fold closed. Both were hoping that their boyfriends would be safe. Will walked up to Taranee, while Irma walked up to Hay Lin and placed a hand on their best friend's shoulders. Taranee turned to look at Wil and Hay Lin turned to look at Irma. Each had a look that said "It'll be okay" on their faces. Seeing this made Taranee and Hay Lin smile a little before they all went back to Earth. Once on Earth, the guys made sure the girls got home safely and then headed home. All of them praying and hoping that Angelo and Eric were okay.
A/N: Well, the gang knows where the Griffin is and Eric and Angelo are in Mongolia searching for it. Let's hope they don't run into Fitre and his crew. But knowing their luck, they will. Only one way to find out.
Please review.
