Chapter 4:
Angelo Vanders's POV
I can't believe this! After all that hard work in controlling this power, I'm about to lose it! And to think all of this started a few months ago.
Flashback
I was sitting in my room watching some TV. I would of been hanging with one of my best friends, Will Vandom, but she had something to do with her other friends. Like I didn't see that coming. When she moved to Heatherfield, we kept in touch pretty well. But as the months went by, we hardly kept in touch. I wrote her letters, and even E-mailed her, but I barely got any responses. And I'm not going to whenever I called her to talk. Anyway, two years later, I moved here with my Uncle John. I was so hoping that me and Will would be able to hang out like we used to. And at first that's what happened. We hung out a lot and had all kinds of fun! I met the friends and boyfriend she had. Everything was all good until one day a few months ago, when I overheard Will and Matt talking.
"He's one of my best friends, Matt!", I heard Will say to Matt. "And friends hang out!"
"You've been hanging out with him a lot, Will!", Matt added. "Have you forgotten that you have a boyfriend, Will."
"No I haven't.", Will yelled. "It's just that I haven't seen Angelo in so long, that I just wanted to catch up on old times!"
"Well when you done doing that, give me a call!", Matt countered. "I'm out of here!"
As I watched Matt storm off, I saw Will slump down on the bench that was next to her and begin to cry. I then did what came natural as a friend. I walked to her and sat next to her. I then placed my hand on her shoulder in comfort. I tried my best to smile, but failed. I then wrapped my arms around her in comfort. She took the comfort as she wrapped her arms around me and continued to cry. But deep down, I some how knew that things were going to be different.
And they were.
That was a few months ago and that's why I'm here in my room. Turns out that Will and I have barely spent much time hanging out. She spends a lot of time with her friends Taranee, Irma, Cornelia, and Hay Lin. And she spends a great deal of time with her boyfriend, Matt. But as for me, the only time I've been hanging with Will has been whenever my uncle invites Ms. Vandom, or as I like to call her Aunt Susan, and Will over for dinner or whenever Aunt Susan invites me and my uncle over for dinner. It stinks but I'm glad that I have other friends to hang with. There's Micheal, Joel, Alchemy, and Cassidy. They're pretty cool. And I don't know what I'd do without them.
As I was saying, I was in my room watching TV when this beam of greem light hit me! I didn't know what to think at first! But soon I felt stronger and more powerful! But before I could do anything, I blackout! When I came to, I saw that it was morning. Was it all a dream? Whatever it was, I was going to have to find out later seeing as I had to get to school. As I was walking to school, I felt this weird energy. It didn't feel bad or anything, but the weird thing was I felt it more when I passed by the trees and plants as well as when I walked on the earth and grass. It felt weird but I brushed it off once I got to school. But then I felt this new feeling when I got to school. It was this feeling that said that I wasn't alone. Once in my homeroom, I sat in the back, like I normally do. I watch as Will and Matt walk into the room. I then turn my head and look out the window. I figured that if she wants to talk to me then she will.
Anyway, days went by and I was at the forest near Heatherfield Lake walking around to clear my head, when I touched a dying tree. When I touched the tree, I felt this strange energy flow from it. It felt peaceful and calming. I then looked to see the tree grow leave and get it's color back! Needless to say that I was shocked by all this. But then I remembered what my Grandma Kadma told me about her days as the Earth Guardian and how she too could restore energy to plants.
"Could I have the same powers Grandma had?", I questioned. "One way to find out."
I then looked at a large rock and began to focus on it. Next thing you know, it began to float in the air!
"Whoa!", I said as it dropped to the ground. "Looks like I got to work on my focus."
And that's what I did. For the next few weeks, I trained with my powers, whenever I had the time. I began to wonder if I got these powers when that beam of light hit me. And if so, were there others? I soon found that out the day Alchemy called me and told me to meet her at the forest near Heatherfield Lake. Once I got there, I saw Alchemy waiting there.
"Some what's up, Alchemy?", I asked.
"I'll tell you when the others get here.", she told me.
A few minutes later, Micheal showed up, followed by Joel a few minutes later. I began to wonder what was going on. Then Alchemy showed us that she could control fire. Once I saw that, me and the guys had only one thing to say.
"You too?", I questioned with the guys in shock.
"What? You guys have powers too?", Alchemy questioned.
I then realised that Micheal and Joel questioned Alchemy as well.
"You guys too?", I questioned them.
We then showed each other what we could do. Joel went first and fired an energy blast at a tree. Then Micheal made a small twister blow around us. And finally I made some plants grow as well as made some rocks and dirt float in the air. It was after we told each other when this all started for each of us that we all realised that we each were hit by a different colored beam of light and got these powers afterwards. We then decided to keep it to ourselves and learn to use them better, so we wouldn't hurt other people or each other. Heck! If we wanted to, we could become super heroes!
It felt pretty cool knowing that I wasn't alone in all this. And as for our training, we had good times and a few embarrassing times. Well, Alchemy did anyway. Like when she went all Human Torch and we ended up seeing more of her than we really needed to see. But that's a whole other story. The main thing happened the day we were going to tell Cassidy about what we could do. I knew that Joel was a bit scared and hoped that she would still want to be with him afterwards. So, he decided that he wanted to bring Cassidy with him. I was the first one there. But soon Alchemy showed up. She was looking pretty good in her jeans and mid-drift T-shirt. I want to tell her how I feel about her, but with all that has been going on, I didn't have the guts to say anything.
But that soon changed!
"Hey, Angelo.", Alchemy said as she got closer to me. "The guys aren't here yet?"
"Not yet.", I said. "Just you and me so far."
"Good.", she said with a smile said. "Cause there's something that I want to tell you."
"What is it?", I asked as she looked at me.
Next thing you know it, Alchemy leans up and kisses me! I then went with it and places my hands around Alchemy's waist as I returned the kiss! The need for air soon came for us as we ended our kiss. As we looked at each other smiling. I saw tears running down her face. Was this that important to her? I then brought my hands up to Alchemy's face and wiped some tears away with his thumbs. She must of been so happy that she was crying. She then wrapped her arms around me hugging me. I returned the hug, knowing she needed it.
"It's about time!"
We both turned to see the our friends standing there with cheesy grins on their faces.
"So, you finally told him.", Joel said with a grin.
She then flashed a happy smile.
"So, did you keep you end of the deal?", Alchemy asked.
"After we tell Cassidy about us, I will.", Joel said.
"Before you tell me anything, I have something to tell you guys.", Cassidy said.
"What do you mean, Cass?", Alchemy asked as she and Aneglo pulled away from each other.
Suddenly Will, Matt, Taranee, Hay Lin, Irma. and Cornelia appeared before us, surprising us.
"We need to talk.", Cassidy said.
End Flashback
And now here we are trapped in some kind of crystal dome, some bald headed guy trapped us in with some lady with black hair and green eyes. I remember what Grandma Kadma told me about all this Kandrakar stuff and figured that the bald guy was the Oracle. I'm not going to forget him when this is all over! I look at Will, who can't even look at me. Then I see Matt place his hand on her shoulder in comfort. I wouldn't be surprised if he was enjoying this. I still can't believe that she's letting this happen!
"You may feel a bit of pain once this starts.", the bald guy said as he fires a beam of energy at the diamond.
Suddenly, we're hit by beams of light. I can feel my powers being drained from me. I feel no pain at first, but soon I began to scream along with my friends as the pull of my powers begins to hurt!
'It's all over!', I think to myself as the last of my powers is almost gone.
But suddenly, when I think it's all over, I feel the power rushing back into me!
"Something has gone wrong!", I hear someone say.
But before I can say anything, I look down at my hands to see them turn green! As I fall to my sides, I see Alchemy laying on her side. I then see her skin turn red! That's the last thing I saw before everything turns black.
Nerissa Diamond's POV
Where did I go wrong? I had everything planned out! Even when the Guardians and the Regent destroyed my power crystal and sent five of the six powers out to five people in Heatherfield, I knew I could still work with what I had! To think, I few months ago, I had it all!
Flashback.
After I got my Quintessence back after the crystal was destroyed, I was able to beat the Guardians and Regent! I should of taken them down and made them weak enough to take the Heart of Kandrakar, but I choose different.
"No.", I said with a smirk. "Taking you out won't solve anything. "I must find the ones that have the other five powers."
"Other powers?", the Fire Guardian questioned as she tried to get to her feet.
"And once I find them, I shall defeat you and take the Heart of Kandrakar and do what I started before you all got in my way.", I said. "Peace shall come to the Known Worlds!"
I then teletransported away, leaving behind the defeated fools. I ended up at Shell Beach to get some rest. I indeed had my powers back! But now they were doubled! The crystal did indeed work! If those fools hadn't destroyed that crystal, I would of been able to contain all that power into the same necklace that was my prison! But now I have to go and find the five people that have the powers I worked so hard to boost the power of.
"Oh well.", I said as I looked at my hand that crackled with electricity. "Rome wasn't built in a day. Maybe I can get them to join me when I find them."
But for now, I knew I had to gain control of my powers. Seeing as they were now doubled, I was going to have to gain control of them and fast. I don't need little Will sensing my power and finding me! So I focus my power and teletransport far away from Heatherfield and get some sleep. For the next day I was going to gain control of my powers. And that's what I did. It took a few weeks, but I gotten control of my powers.
"And now to find the five.", I said before teletransporting to Heatherfield.
Once in Heatherfield, I began to have the feeling that I wasn't alone. I knew that it was the five with the powers as well as the Guardians and Regents! Good thing I had the experience to tell them apart. And wouldn't you know, one of the five was my old friend Cassidy! If I played my cards right, I could get her to join me! I sense that she was at Shell Beach. Surprise, surprise! Once I teletransported there, I saw her looking out at the water.
"Why hello, old friend.", I said making her jump as she turned to face me.
"Hello, Rissa.", my old friend said with a cocky smirk. "It's been a while."
"Yes it has.", I said. "I take it that you've gotten used to the new powers you got a few weeks ago."
"So, it was you who was behind all this!", she said. "What were you up to, Rissa?"
"I planned to bring the girls back into the fray.", I explained. "But now, thanks to Will and her little friends, that plan is ruined. But seeing as you have the power of water, there still may be hope."
"Meaning what?", she asked.
"Join me, Casssidy.", I said. "Together we can find the other four and defeat the Guardians and take Kandrakar!"
"Sorry, Rissa.", Cassidy said as she shook her head. "But I've got other plans."
"Really now?", I asked as electricity crackled around my hand. "And what's to stop me from just making you come with me?"
Just then the Guardians appeared behind me! I turned to face them ready to fight them!.
"Um... that would be us!", that loud-mouthed Water Guardian said with a smirk.
She's nothing like Cassidy when she was the Water Guardian! Cassidy was a lot more mature! Not to mention Cassidy was a more skilled Water Guardian. But I wasn't about to let them gett in my way!
"Don't you remember what happened the last time I hit you with my power?", I questioned as I got ready to hit them with some kind of attack I got them with during our last encounter.
But then, I was frozen from her feet up to her neck.
"Sorry Rissa.", I heard Cassidy say. "But, it's over!"
"Don't do this, Cassidy!", I pleaded. "Together we can... Aaaaaah!"
I was cut off as Will hit me with a thing of electricity, not to mention the mental attacks the Water and Fire Guardians hit me with. And then there was the Earth Guardian holding my head still with her telekinesis, so Yan Lin's grand-daughter could take enough air out of me to knock me out. That's the last thing I remember before I woke up in the Tower of Mist! No one escapes from this prison! So, for the next few months I began to work on a way to try and break out.
End Flashback
And that's how it has been for the last few months. But then one day, I appeared next to Cassidy and fur other teenagers.
'These must be the other four!', I think to myself as the Oracle makes a crystal dome appear and drop over us, trapping us inside of it!
I then figured that they were going to take our powers away from us.
"You may feel a bit of pain once this starts.", the Oracle said as he fires a beam of energy at the diamond.
Suddenly, we're hit by beams of light. I can feel the power being drained from me. At first, I feel nothing. But soon I began to scream in pain as the pull of power begins to hurt! But suddenly, just when I think it's all over, I fell the power rushing back into me!
"Something has gone wrong!", I hear someone say.
But before I can say or do anything, I fall backwards on my back! I raise my hand a little to see it turn white! That's the last thing I saw before everything turns black.
Normal POV
Once the beams of light are pulled back into the crystal on top of the dome, the Oracle makes the dome vanish. Everyone gasped as they saw that the six of them have changed. First was Cassidy, who had blue skin and Alchmey, who had red skin. Then there was Joel, who had gray skin and Micheal, who had purple skin. And finally there was Angelo, who had green skin and Nerissa, who had white skin.
"What happened to them?", Hay Lin questioned.
"There was a problem with the power drain!", Tibor said. "All of their powers were returned to them!"
"But something else happened.", Alfor said with worry. "Look!"
Everyone looked to see that the six of them began to grow scales that were the same color of their new skin! Then they began to grown a bit! As that was happening, their clothes began to rip a bit.
"Not again.", the Oracle said.
'Not again?', Taranee thought to herself. 'What does he mean by that?'
"What's happening to them?", Elyon questioned.
"How do we stop it?", Cornelia questioned.
Suddenly, a large fold opens in which five ten foot dragons walk out from. One was silverish-white, while another was red. Another was blue, while another was violet, and the final one was green. Once the fold closed behind them. They all had wide chest and were standing on all four legs, but could stand on their hind legs. They stood tall and mighty. Their wings were large and wide. The green dragon had long yellow hair flowing from the back of it's head, while the red one had long black hair. The blue one had long pink hair, while the violet one had long sliver hair. And the white one had long golden blond hair. At first they were ten feet tall. But then they began to grow until they were at least twenty feet tall, surprising the Guardians, Matt, Halinor, and the members of the Council of the Known Worlds.
"What have you done, Oracle?", the red dragon yelled telepathiclly with a male voice.
A/N: Well, you now have the Points Of View from Angelo and Nerissa. But who are these dragons that have come to Kandrakar, and are ticked at the Oracle? Things are getting interesting!
Please review.
