Chapter 12
Summary: Modern AU! The Big Four...Guardians of the World. They say that they protect they protect the world from Darkness. So where were they when it took over? Without them, we were the last line of defense if they disappeared, but even we weren't enough and we were forced into hiding. But now that time is over. It's time to fight. For our hopes. For our dreams. AND FOR OUR DRAGONS!

*BOOM!*
The ground beneath them cracked as Shawn's fist made contact with Shira and dust clouded their vision! Her knees buckled at the force a little but she remained standing.
'Some how he learned Compression Magic' she thought as she squinted her eyes through dust, 'all on his own!' Compression Magic is a skill that allows you to compress magic into anything you want.
Her eyes widened as she saw a right leg aiming for her for her head! She quickly raised her left arm to block. The force of the kick didn't make the Guardian of Souls move, but it did clear the dust.
She could now see clearly that Shawn's appearance has changed slightly.
His teeth turned razor-sharp but his canines were slightly longer. His left eye was glowing blood red and slit like a dragon's, and the latter including blood red lines streaking below them.
Before she could ask what happened, he back flipped away and landed on all fours. He stood straight up and threw his arms up, ready for another round.
"Something tells me that your not so sure about what happened to you either" Shira smiles. "Nope" he answers, "but I really want to find out, please."
'His right eye's still the same, but his left eye is filled with...Fire! You could practically see the urge to fight and dominate in his eye. But I can tell that there's something else in there."
The Guardian smiles, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Shawn. I'm guessing the fight was really about to begin, huh?"
"Yeah" he said, "it is!" He ground beneath him cracked as he charged forward, faster than he's ever ran in his life! He aims his punches for her stomach and face, but she parried and blocked them all.
She then lashed out her own kick into his ribs. Shawn was pretty sure he cracked more ribs, but he merely pushed her leg away and elbowed her in the gut!
She coughed up saliva as she skidded backwards. Shawn ran at her again and Spartan kicked her in the chest, but she crossed her arms to block. But crashed into a boulder.
'So that's what it feels like' she thought.

"Told ya he'll get use to it" Magnus smirked, "he just had to get smacked around a few times"
"Yeah he's good and all but there's only one problem" Dave says.
"How do we get two battle hungry teenagers to stop fighting?" Silver asked. "It's not that we have to stop both of them" Shadow says cooly, "It's more of stopping Shawn. Close your eyes"
The Guardians listened to their comrade and closed there eyes. "Picture Shawn's magic power before the fight"
They saw a grey out line of Shawn. It was radiating peaceful, warm energy. "And picture his magic power now..." The outline turned blood red with streaks on his arms, chest and face, radiating fierce, hot energy that called out for a battle!
"You can practically feel his magic calling out a challenge"
(Line Break)
The dragons were out of control! They were flying all over the place, crashing into walls, spewing torrents of flames and roaring loudly!
The Guardians and Helpers were desperately trying to keep them under control. "Stormfly!" Astrid shouts at her dragon sternly, "you leave those Night Terrors alone, this instant!"
The Deadly Nadder roars in defiance and shoots spikes out of her tail, aiming directly towards her rider! Astrid rolls out of the way and takes cover behind a wooden barrier. She groaned, "What's gotten into them?"
"How should I know!" Snotlout shouts from inside his dragon, Hookfang's mouth. "Who cares!" Ruffnut shouts. Her twin agrees, "This is a work of art that happens once in a life time!"
Elli groans and nimbly dodges fire balls and other attacks from the dragons, "Could it possibly be because of the sudden rise magic?"
"Could be..." Thoron says as he catches two fire and kicks away aconcentrated ice beam, "or there's a rebellious dragon nearby"
(Line Break)
With a shout, Shawn delivered a right cross aimed for Shira's face. She blocks with her arm and knees him in the chest. He backs away, panting slightly,'Damn! I'm running low on speed!'
Shira dashes at him and punches him square in the gut and soared through the air. Shawn tried to prevent himself from coughing up blood. But in the end, he failed.
He channels magic into his feet and tried to solidify an invisible platform within the air. But instead skids to a hault. He clenched his right hand tightly in anger. Something deep down was telling him that he can't lose. That he couldn't lose!
Shira tilted her head confusedly as steam emitted from his hand. Shawn pointed his fist downwards and channeled as much magic as he could muster.
Air swarmed around his fist, causing his hair and clothes to blow wildly. Shira narrows her eyes, 'Did he learn how to use air magic already?!'
His fist suddenly gave off several small grey sparks before sizzling. 'No...' Shira thought, 'he's using the power of flames!' His fist was then envelope in cold grey flames!
He jumps off his platform and rocketed towards Shira.
'Maybe I can counter at this distance!' Shira thought. Shawn summersaults in the air before concentrating magic into his feet and propelled himself behind her!
'He's moving up so fast!' she thought as she was to slow turn and block Shawn's fist.
*CLANG!*
*BOOM!*
Shawn's fist made contact, enveloping everything in front of him in dust and grey flames! But instead of hitting Shira, it made contact with something metal.
"Yare, yare. For a new guy, you cause so much destruction..." a girl's voice says through the flames, much to his shock. The flames began to get sucked up like dust and a vacuum into whatever Shawn hit.
The dust and flames cleared, revealing a girl with long light brown hair with gold and green streaks in a braid reaching her knees with her fringe covering my left eye. Her eyes were blue with an emerald spark.
She wore a white off the shoulder top with a black sequin tiger on the front, dark blue bell bottom jeans, white trainers, a butterfly necklace with rainbow wings, silver bracelet with 'Friendship' in rainbow words surrounded by Pokéball charms and white over the shoulder bag with the sun and moon crest.
In her hand was a red orange sword with a sun shaped guard and a light brown handle.
"Just like a true Guardian" the new girl smirks. "The name's Mollienaturerocks, Rider of the Deadly Seasonal Nadder, and Guardian of Seasonal Animals. But you could call me-"
"ROCKS!"
A brown blur crashed into the girl, nearly knocking Rocks over. Rocks looked down to see Rebel hugging her tightly, "OH ROCKS, I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUUUCH!"
"O-OI! REBEL! I WAS TRYING TO BE COOL!" Rocks scolds as she gave her a noogie, causing the Guardian of Emotion to whine.
Shira and Shawn sweat drops, "Total plot change"
*BOOM!*
The wall behind them suddenly exploded, causing debris to nearly crush them! Shawn reacts first by shrugging Shira over his shoulder, much to her surprise, and dodged along side Rebel and Rocks.
Once they were clear, Shawn gently put Shira down. "You OK" he asked. His response was a punch straight into his noses! Though it surprisingly didn't hurt as much, Shawn still clutched his nose.
"Thank you" she says with light pink cheeks, "but I don't like being carried. Unless your my dragon."
"Got it" he groaned. There was a low growl behind the group, causing them to turn. Due to the dust clouding their vision, they couldn't tell what was out there.
But they did see two glowing red eyes.
(Line Break)
"MY FORGE!" Dave shouts in despair. He runs to the massive new hole in the wall which lead to the forge. He picked up a piece of the wall and sulks.
Silver pats him on the back, trying to cheer him up while Magnus and Shadow were laughing their asses off. "It's alright, we'll build a new one" The Guardian of Dragon Knowledge says.
"I don't want a new one" he replies, "I want my old one!" Magnus laughed even harder. That caused Silver to give her 'dragon mama stare', causing them to immediately shut up.
"This was wear I forged my first knife" he says as anime tears streams down his eyes, "whoever did this will pay!" The sound of a roar echoes through out the room!
"I think you mean 'whatever' did this" Magnus says.
