Bats were flying around the lair of the Knights of Vengeance.
"Look at you." Nerissa said. "Powerful, dangerous, terrifying! Yet one defeat turns you into sulking children."
"Vengeance on the traitors Vathek and Tinard was nearly ours." Frost said.
"And…" Nerissa asked. "Is there no one else who deserves your vengeance?"
"I would like to see Elyon suffer!" Miranda answered.
"Elyon? Ergh, if you can't handle mere palace guards…Are you really prepared to take on their almighty queen? The Guardians, on the other hand…"
"I followed them to earth to clip their wings, but…" Frost said.
"Perhaps your approach lacked subtlety." Miranda interrupted. "I think breaking their wings will be less effective than breaking their spirits."
"Yes…" Nerissa said, while thinking. "You shall go to earth, Miranda, with someone else who can blend in there."
Nerissa went over the Knights and saw Sandpit moving up and down, changing his forms.
"Sandpit…" she said.
Sandpit went to stand behind Miranda.
"We will not fail you. Flies never see the web until it's to late." Miranda said.
A gust of wind was blowing through the cave and Nerissa waved her staff, creating a fold. Miranda and Sandpit got sucked in. Nerissa started laughing.
*Meanwhile, on earth*
Will and Jin were brought to school by Susan.
"You'd better do your best, Will. And Jin, please tell Dea…mister Collins that you can't see. He will understand."
Jin nodded.
"Thank you for dropping us off at school, Mrs. Vandom." She bowed.
"Now, off you go." Susan said.
Will and Jin stepped into the school. Suddenly, Jin lost vision.
"Darn it. Now I really am blind. Why can't I see here? Honestly, what are your floors made off? Everytime I get into a building or on the street, I can't see anymore. I can only see on your pavements."
Will laughed.
"Come on, let's get to class."
Will took Jin's hand and she led her to the classroom. Jin went to sit on a desk, but didn't start unpacking. Will went to sit next of her. Will started unpacking. Cornelia came in class and went to sit on the other side of Will.
"Hey Will! Have you seen Alchemy? She went into Knickerbocker's office." Cornelia said while unpacking. "If she doesn't hurry, she'll miss the history test!"
Suddenly, Will got stressed. "Test? Urgh, no!"
Will put her calculator on the desk and took her history book out of her bag.
"You didn't study?" Cornelia asked.
"What's a test in your world? Jin asked, but Will ignored her.
"W.I.T.C.H hasn't exactly helped my GPA." Will said quickly to Cornelia. "Ugh, my mom's gonna freak if I fail this!"
Mister Collins entered the classroom.
"Class, please put your books away. Remember that any talking will be considered cheating." He said. Will looked stressed.
"Sir," Jin started. "I have to tell you something. I am new and I have a…eh…deviation of my body that normal children don't have. You see, I am…"
"After class, dear. Since you're new this test won't matter for your grades. Just show me an impression of what you know of our history already. I'm sure you'll do fine." Mister Collins said.
"But I…" Jin started, but Mister Collins silenced her. "Now, don't talk or you'll get an F."
Mister Collins started handing out the tests. Jin looked straight forward.
"Shouldn't you be, you know, working on your test?" Mister Collins asked. Jin looked down.
"Perhaps, but I…"
"Then start, otherwise I won't be able to have a proper vision of what you know already." Mister Collins said.
Jin kept staring at her desk. This was hopeless. 'And what's a test in this world anyway? I reckon it's not the same kind as in my world…'
Next of Jin, Will was thinking. She hadn't studied and was scratching her head. Suddenly, she heard a voice.
"Number two is wrong and you misspelled Lincoln!" The voice said. It seemed to be coming from her calculator. Will suddenly freaked. "Not again…"
"If I had your grades, I would be grateful for the help!" The calculator said.
"Shut up! You're a calculator! This is a history test! When I need help, I'll ask you!" Will answered, silently.
Suddenly, a shadow envelop her. Her face pulled together. She looked up and saw mister Collins. He sighed. "Principal's office."
Jin rose from her seat. "I'm coming with her."
Mister Collins looked at her, surprised. "Why?"
"Tests and I don't have that great of an affinity." She said, waving her hand in front of her eyes.
Will then took Jin by the hand and pulled her to the principal's office.
Will sat in the chair in front of the door.
"You know, I could hear him too." Jin said. Will looked up.
"What?"
"You know, the calculator. I could hear him. He said you misspelled Lincoln. What's a Lincoln?" Jin asked.
Will laughed. "Lincoln is a president of the USA. He's dead now."
"Ah." Jin said.
"No loitering in the hallways!" A voice said. Will looked around, and Jin pointed towards the clock. "It came from there."
Will placed a chair in front of the clock and climbed it.
"Why are you talking to me? How are you talking to me?"
Suddenly, she noticed somebody standing to the right of her.
"Excuse me?" she asked.
"Uh, hi!" Will said, while waving. "Been here long?"
"Uh, no." The girl answered. "I'm new. My name's Mi…Melinda."
Suddenly, the door to the Principal's office opened and blocked Melinda. Alchemy came out of the room.
"Will, I'm so relieved. They're finally doing something about Elyon and her parents!"
"What'd ya mean?" Will asked.
"They've been gone forever and no one else seems worried! So I convinced principal Knickerbocker to call the police." Alchemy said. Knickerbocker was standing in the door.
"Uh, I better get to class. They're letting me remake the history test." Alchemy said.
"Wonderful" Will said, before entering the office herself, with Jin close behind. The door closed behind them.
"Wonderful," Melinda said. She had been eavesdropping the entire time.
Jin was sent outside the office after she had said why she left the classroom. She then had to excuse herself to mister Collins and explain why she had left. After struggling to get there, she finally got to the classroom. Of the wrong teacher. So she went to the right classroom, with help from one of the students. After she had told she was blind, he said he had been stupid. He should excuse himself for not listening.
Jin was sitting in the hallway. She had picked up Will's stuff, but was lost again. So she simply sat down. She was searching in Will's bag.
"OW! Watch out with your fingers, lady! I have feelings too, you know!" The calculator said. Jin's fingers took a hold of it and pulled him out of the bag.
"So, you're a calculator, right? Maybe you can tell me a few things. Will said you shouldn't be able to talk, so why can we hear you then?" Jin asked.
"How should I know? I was suddenly able to talk. And I'm not all knowing." The calculator answered.
"But you know something of history, right? But still Will said: 'You're a calculator! This is a history test!'. Does that mean calculators normally don't know things about history?" Jin asked with great curiosity.
"You're a strange girl. Calculators know a lot about math, not about history. But, if you're in a bag every day at history class, you tend to pick up a lot off the stuff that's said there." The calculator answered.
"Question: What's math?" Jin asked.
The calculator didn't respond. Then it suddenly asked Jin something.
"You also have a secret, right? Will has too. She often goes away to other worlds. I guess you're from one of those. Am I correct?"
"Yes and no." Jin answered. "Another world, yes. But Will did not bring me along. At least, not directly. But this world is kind of strange. Can you tell me a few things about it?"
"Sure I can!" The calculator answered with an enthousiastic voice.
He then proceeded to tell Jin everything he knew, until Will came to pick her up. Together they walked to the rest of the girls and they went to Will's place.
"So then Alchemy tells me that the police is looking for Elyon!" Will said.
"Good thing you were sent to the principal or we wouldn't know." Cornelia said.
"The principal?" Hay-Lin asked. "What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything." Will said, getting her calculator out of her bag. "Sammy did."
"Pleased to meet you!" Sammy the Calculator said.
"Wild!" Cornelia said. "Yikes!" Hay-Lin said. "Is it artificially intelligent?" Taranee asked.
"More like stunningly intelligent!" Jin said.
"Thank you, Jin." Sammy said.
"Hold on, hold on. You can actually hear him?" Will asked. The girls nodded.
"Well duh." Cornelia said.
"Duh nothing!" Will answered. "No one else can! They just hear me freaking out at it!"
"Weird!" Hay-Lin said.
"It gets weirder." Will said.
*At Will's house*
Will opened the door. All the electric appliances started to yell at her.
"Hello Will! Welcome back!" "Hey, glad to see ya!" "Glad you're home." "Care for a little snack?"
"Does everything talk?" Taranee asked with a weird look.
"Everything with a current! AC or DC. But I guess only guardians can hear it." Will said.
"Hey! What about me?" Jin asked.
"I'm counting you as one of the guardians, Jin." Will said with a smile.
"Cool, it's like having a hundred new friends!" Hay-Lin said.
"You forgot to bring me to school again! What if your mother needed to reach you?" Will's phone said.
"More like a hundred new parents." Irma said.
"When did all this start?" Taranee asked.
"After we…" Will started.
"Got back from Kandrakar?" Jin finished. Will nodded.
Suddenly, the television turned on. "What do you want to watch, comedy? Action? Romance?"
"Wow." Hay-Lin said. "It gets old so quickly! Who knew? So, unplugging is not an option?" Will shook her head.
"Guys, guys, this can wait!" Taranee said. "What do we do about Elyon? And the police?"
"Do we have to do anything?" Cornelia asked. "It's not like they'll find her. She and the Browns are safe on Meridian."
"Just steer clear of the whole equation!" The calculator suggested.
"I hate to say it, but I agree with the calculator!" Irma said.
The door opened again.
"Hello girls." Susan said.
Taranee, Cornelia, Hay-Lin and Irma quickly got up.
"I'm afraid you have to go home. Now! Will is grounded."
The girls quickly said their goodbyes and left.
"Mom, that was so embarrassing!" Will said.
"Not nearly as embarrassing as the call I got from your teacher!" Susan said, while putting down her bag. "I can't believe you were cheating!"
"I wasn't cheating!" Will said, blowing air into her hair, making it run with some sort of electricity.
"That's not what Dean…Mister Collins said." Susan explained.
Will got angry. "You wouldn't understand!"
"Maybe because you don't talk to me." Susan said. "Will, I know you're going through some changes, but if you can't behave responsibly then…"
"THIS IS SO UNFAIR!" Will yelled, going to her room and slamming the door.
Susan went to sit on the couch and sighed.
"She's right, you know." Jin said, making Susan look at her. Jin tried to get to the couch, when Susan helped her to get there. "She wasn't cheating. Her calculator was doing weird, so she looked at it. Collins thought she had information in it and thought she was cheating."
Susan looked at her. "How do you know?"
Jin rose an eyebrow. "I was there." This made Susan laugh a bit.
*Irma's house*
Irma's father, Tom, was sitting in the kitchen with a cup of coffee, when Irma came home. "Irma. Come in here please."
Irma came into the kitchen. "Hi, dad." She said, taking a chair.
"Irma why didn't you tell me nobody has seen Elyon for months. She's one of your best friends." Tom said.
"Dad, they're just…eh…on vacation! A really, long vacation. Scuba-diving on…eh…Bora-Bora!" Irma said.
"Who told you that?" Tom asked.
"Er, ehm, Will!" Irma quickly answered.
"Did she tell you anything else? Have you heard from Elyon or her family? Gotten any postcards?" Tom interrogated.
'Why am I always the one getting interrogated. Can't you pick on Chris instead? Pick on Chris. On Chris!'
Tom suddenly got up. "We'll talk more later. Right now I need to have a word with Chris."
'Was that…? Did I…? Can I…? Hey, I'm actually speechless!' Irma said.
Irma tried to call Will, but got Susan on the line.
"Hello? No, I'm sorry, Irma. Will's lost phone privileges for the week. That's right. Goodbye." Susan then hang up on her.
Will was laying on her bed in her room.
"If I might suggest…" The calculator started.
"No!" Will interrupted. Will picked up Sammy and got over to the window, holding him out of it. "This is all your fault!"
"No! Please! No more talking in class! Don't cross my circuits!" Sammy begged.
Will placed him near the window. "Huh, whatever." Will said.
Sammy sighed. Suddenly, he was taken away by sand. "Waah!"
Sandpit had taken a hold of it and gave it to 'Melinda'.
"Oh, look, Sandpit!" Miranda said, "I think we just found evidence of a crime!"
*The next day, at school*
Irma was running in school, trying to find the rest of the girls, when she saw Alchemy. "Alchemy, have you seen Will?"
Alchemy looked behind Irma, and Irma felt a hand on her shoulder. When she turned, she saw principal Knickerbocker. She found the other girls, minus Will, in the hall in front of the principal's office.
"Have they read you your right?" Irma asked.
"Which are what exactly?" Jin asked.
Principal Knickerbocker shushed them.
*In the office*
"Will," Tom said, "These are detectives McDean and McTiennan. They'd like to ask you some questions about Elyon Brown and her parents."
"We heard you know where they are." McDean said.
Will seemed insecure for a second.
"Oh, sure. Everyone does! They're on a ski trip…in the alps!"
"And who told you that?" McTiennan asked.
Will thought for a second.
"Cornelia?"
"Well, Hay-Lin said the Browns are in Australia, deep in the outback. You can't even call them." Cornelia said, after being brought in.
McDean and McTiennan looked at each other, McDean bringing his hands together while McTiennan rose an eyebrow. They brought Hay-Lin in.
"Irma told me they're sunbathing in Hawaii."
"Bora-Bora, definitely Bora-Bora." Irma answered after being brought in.
When Taranee was brought in, she didn't even answer the question. Instead, she asked:
"Could you, repeat the question?"
They also asked the question to Jin.
"How should I know? Yes, I'm a friend of these five girls, but I really have only been here for a few days. Although I do know the name Elyon. They said she was on vacation. I can't tell you more. I've never even seen her. If seeing her would actually be an option."
"To where did they tell she was going on vacation?" McTeenan asked.
"I don't know. They didn't mention it." Jin responded.
When Jin was gone, McDean looked at his notes, made a ball out of it and threw it in the dustbin.
The agents walked out of the school.
"Well, they're obviously hiding something." McTiennan said.
"Or maybe they don't know anything and they're just repeating rumors." Tom said.
"Excuse me? Are you the police?" A nearby girl said.
"Yes. And you are…?" McDean asked.
"Melinda. I want to help you, but…I'm afraid!" Melinda said.
"Don't worry! You're safe with us!" McTiennan said, trying to comfort Melinda.
"It's those five mean girls. They pretended to be Elyon's friends. But they really hated her."
The agents looked at each other. This was new, useful information.
"The last time I saw Elyon they were walking her home. They said they had a surprise for her. In her basement." Melinda continued. Then, the bell rang.
"I know you need to get to class, but thank you for telling us this." McTiennan thanked.
Melinda smiled at her and walked away.
"Still think it's just a rumor?" McDean asked Tom.
"I'll talk to Irma tonight. See if she remembers anything else." Tom said.
"Good. Then we'll get a search warrant for that basement." McDean responded.
Melinda got a huge smile on her face. Everything was going according to plan.
*At Irma's house*
Irma was doing her homework.
"Find the square root of 4096? Man, I wish I had a talking calculator!" Irma said to herself.
Tom came home and went to sit on the couch.
"Oh, hey dad I was just…" She got an inspecting look from her dad. "Uh-oh."
"Uh-oh was right. I know you want to protect your friends, Irma, but you don't have to lie to me." Tom said.
"I'm not lying! Come on dad, you're treating me like a criminal for no reason!" Irma retorted.
"You want reasons? You've been acting strange for months, disappearing all the time, and after what that Melinda said…" Tom responded, counting the reasons on his fingers.
"Who's Melinda?" Irma interrupted.
"Never mind." Tom said quickly as he got up. "You need to answer my questions! Now!" He slammed his fist on the table.
Irma got startled by this. Suddenly, water came pouring out of the two sinks in Irma's kitchen. Tom was immediately distracted.
"Ow! Call a plumber!" He yelled. Instead, Irma quickly left the house.
She closed the door and turned, and was immediately greeted by the rest of the gang.
They walked down the pavement together.
"I'm so glad you're here! My dad…" Irma started.
"Started giving you the third degree." Cornelia responded.
"Yeah. How did you know?" Irma asked.
"Taranee's suddenly gone psychic." Jin responded. "She can tune in to each of our brains and broadcast their thoughts to the rest of us!"
"Hey!" Will said. "I was about to say that!"
"I know. I read it. But I said it sooner." Jin said, smiling.
'I am my own radio station.' Taranee broadcast her thoughts to the rest. "To bad it only works with you guys."
"And to bad it wasn't working this morning. We could've used it to get our stories straight and…Oh no! You didn't broadcast my crush on Andrew Hornby?" Irma asked with concern.
The girls laughed.
"No, but you just did." Taranee said.
"Forget that!" Hay-Lin said with enthusiasm. "Look what I can do!"
Suddenly, she turned invisible. Everybody was shocked. Except Jin.
"What's so special? You did nothing."
"She's invisible. But since she's still broadcasting vibes through the ground, I guess you can still see her." Cornelia said.
"I'm like air!" Hay-Lin said happily. "No-one can see me!" She floated to the street.
"Hey! You're just floating so I can't see you either!" Jin said.
"Perhaps I am, perhaps I'm not." Hay-Lin said. She became visible.
"I can let them see me if I want them to."
A lot of honking was heard. A truck was coming.
Hay-Lin quickly jumped aside and got caught by Irma, Jin and Will.
"What's with out powers? They're way stronger!" Irma asked.
"Hello. I just made an indoor pool without even trying!"
"Tell me about it. Mine have been messed up since Kandrakar!" Cornelia said.
"Kandrakar! That's it." Taranee suddenly yelled out. "Conservation of energy!"
"Um, non brainiac definition, please?" Irma asked.
"When we were in Kandrakar, the Council lowered the Veil." Taranee explained.
"The what?" Jin asked.
"Not important anymore, but the Veil basically was something that could block of Meridian, another world, off of the rest of the Universe." Will quickly explained. The rest nodded.
"All the mystic energy that was used to maintain it had to go somewhere. So it flowed back into the Heart of Kandrakar and each of our Aurameres." Taranee explained further.
"So, that's why I'm suddenly every appliance's new best friend!" Will said.
"And why my dad went mind-slave on me yesterday!" Irma said, suddenly having gained insight in this new thing.
"And why my powers got all freaky." Cornelia said.
"Yeah!" Hay-Lin exclaimed. "We just thought you were losing it."
Cornelia got angry, but Hay-Lin quickly turned invisible.
"Wait, if the energy went back into the Heart of Kandrakar and the Aurameres, does that mean Jin can do something new too?" Will asked Taranee.
"Not sure. Jin, can you notice a difference?" Taranee asked Jin.
Everybody stared at Jin. There was a certain atmosphere that had everybody in its grip.
"Well. Not a huge change, but…I can see small white dots in the darkness sometimes. As if they're trying to show me something, but can't get through in totality. Does that count?" Jin said, sounding a bit insecure because her change wasn't as big.
"Actually, now that I think of it, that might be a great change, Jin. Remember what the Oracle said?" Taranee asked.
"That you would teach me how to use the four elements?"
"Yes." Taranee explained. "Perhaps this will grant us a way to teach you. Perhaps it are signs of the elements. But I'm not sure of it, so I wouldn't get your hopes up all too high."
Jin nodded.
"My dad will be looking for me soon." Irma said. "We need to figure out who this 'Melinda' is."
"Jin and I met her. She's a new kid. She seemed nice enough." Will answered.
"Then why's she trying to frame us?" Hay-Lin asked, becoming visible again and startling Cornelia. "Oops, sorry."
*Meanwhile, at the Brown's place*
McDean and McTiennan got into the basement. They searched around with flashlights. McDean suddenly noticed something. He walked over to a wall and knocked on it.
"Hear that? It's hollow."
"And it doesn't match the other walls. I think it's new." McTiennan responded.
"We need equipment to take it down," McDean said.
"We need to figure out what those girls know." McTiennan lectured him.
With that they left. A laughter was heard from behind the wall as it broke down.
"Do you believe the earth authorities suspect the guardians of a crime that never happened?" Melinda asked. "And this should seal the deal."
Melinda dropped Will's calculator on the floor and smiled.
"Ow." Sammy the calculator said.
*Late that evening, at Will's house*
"I don't know why you did. I don't know how you did it. I don't even know when you did it, but I know what you forgot to do when you got rid of that fake wall." McDean said, intimidating Will.
"Excuse me?" Will asked.
McDean took a bag and let it drop on the table. Will's calculator was in it.
"Huh? How did you get my calculator?" Will asked, surprised by the fact they had her calculator.
"We've been to the Brown's house. We know you're hiding something." McTiennan said.
"Uh, yeah. And I'm ready to confess. But could I get some water?" Will asked. McDean nodded. Will walked past the table, having taken her mobile phone in her hand. As she walked past the table, she took the bag and put her phone in it, without any of the officers noticing.
"Hey hey hey, not with the bag!" McDean said. Will gave McDean the bag and then went to the toilet. Will quickly locked the door and opened the window. She then realized she was in an apartment.
"Good thing I have wings. Sorry Jin." Will took the Heart of Kandrakar. "Guardians…eh, me, Unite!"
She then flew to Taranee's house.
*That night, at Taranee's house*
"We have to hurry, before the cops figure out I'm gone!" Will said.
"Should you guys be here?" Taranee asked. "My mom will be here any minute. An she's a judge!"
Taranee's phone rang. "Hello, I got Will on speed dial."
"Is she gonna be like that forever?" Taranee asked the cell phone.
Will picked up.
"Will Vandom? You've lost your phone privileges, young lady." Ed, Will's mobile phone, said with a severe voice.
"It's an emergency, Ed. Put Sammy on!" Will ordered.
"Will! Be careful, they're trying to frame you!"
"Who are they?" Will asked.
"A huge, moving sand…thing. And a girl, Melinda. They kidnapped me and left me for the cops to find!"
Hay-Lin gasped for air. "That 'thing' sounds like sandpit!"
"And if the new girl's with him…" Will started.
"My allowance says Melinda's Miranda!" Taranee ended her sentence.
"We gotta stop 'em!" Irma said. Suddenly, a rumble was heard and it started raining. Everybody looked at Irma.
"Oops, stronger powers. Forgot!"
Will Guardianed them up and they split up.
*Meanwhile, at Will's house*
McDean and McTiennan were getting impatient.
"Taking a drink can't possibly take this long." McTiennan said. She walked towards the toilet door. "It's locked."
Jin shook her head.
"You could've guessed that."
Jin got to her feet and struggled to find the door. When she got out, she struggled to get out on the street.
Suddenly, she could see. "Ah, pavement. Vision. How I missed you so!" She then tried to make contact with the rest.
'Um, hello? Where do I have to go to?' She asked.
'Jin? Go to the Brown's house. They might need your help!' Will answered. Will gave her directions.
"Cool, didn't think that'd actually work." She quickly went to the Brown's place.
*At the Brown's place*
Hay-lin, Taranee and Cornelia arrived.
"You think Will's plan will work?" Hay-Lin asked.
"Only one way to find out!" Taranee answered.
Suddenly, a voice was heard from behind them.
"I'm so glad you're here to play!"
They quickly turned round and saw 'Melinda'.
"It's hard to make friends when you're the new girl."
Miranda then transformed into her spider-like form. Sandpit came down from the ceiling and got behind them.
"We knew you'd come." Miranda said. "Criminals always return to the scène of their crime!"
Miranda started coming towards them.
"Ehm, shouldn't we keep this inside?" Taranee asked. "Someone might see us and…"
"Reveal your identities and destroy your lives forever?" Miranda asked. "Lovely!"
Miranda then shot some web at the three guardians. They quickly flew up to the air.
"We'd better get this over with!" Cornelia said.
She then split open the ground and vines came out of it, entangling Miranda. However, she quickly freed herself with little to no effort. The vines shot to Hay-Lin, who quickly blocked them with a gust of air. Suddenly, she felt herself being dragged down by Sandpit.
"Hey!" Hay-Lin struggled to get free, but she couldn't. Sandpit's grip was too strong. Sandpit brought Hay-Lin down and she hit the ground hard. Taranee tried to release Hay-Lin by shooting a fireball at Sandpit, but she suddenly couldn't fly anymore. Miranda had shot her web on to her wings and the wings no longer operated.
"Oh, this is special." Taranee remarked, knowing what was about to come.
She fell to the ground, Miranda closing in.
"Did I mention I hate spiders?"
Miranda laughed. "And you should!"
*At Irma's house*
Irma was finally home and quickly ran to the door. She opened it, only to find her dad sitting on the staircase.
"Alright young lady! No more games! Where's Will hiding?"
"Or would you rather talk back on the station?" McTiennan asked.
McDean got beeped.
"McDean."
"Got complains from the Brown's neighbours. Disturbance in the backyard."
"We're on it!" McDean said.
"But I have information!" Irma said, a bit irritated.
"Yeah…We'll catch up on the way." McTiennan said.
They got in the car and were driving to the Browns.
Irma tried her mind manipulation: 'Nothings happening at the Browns. Nothings happening at the Browns'
Suddenly, a large fire was seen.
"Something's happening at the Browns." McDean said.
"Gasleak maybe, spider problem?" Irma asked.
"We'll know soon enough.
*At the Browns*
Taranee was ablaze. She had shot Miranda away after freeing herself with the pillar of flame.
"If you can't keep cool, get hot!"
"A piller of flame isn't just hot, it's like, biblical." Cornelia responded.
"Uh, a little help please?" Hay-Lin asked.
She was being held upside down by Sandpit. Taranee shot a few fireballs at Sandpit, but he deformed, which made the fireballs go through him.
"Stay…still!" Taranee yelled at him. Suddenly, Hay-Lin got an idea.
"Oh, never mind. I got this!"
She created a tornado around herself, blowing Sandpit away.
"Neat idea, huh?" She said while laughing.
Sandpit was reforming behind her.
"He thought so too!" Taranee said.
Meanwhile, the cops and Irma arrived at the Browns place. McDean, McTiennan and Tom got out. They saw Jin.
"You!" McDean said. "How did you get here?"
Jin was shovelling with her feet.
"Ehm…by…foot?"
Suddenly, she heard Irma voice in her head.
"Hey, shouldn't you go to the airport?" Jin asked McDean.
"No," Tom said. "Why should we…"
He stopped mid-sentence. "We have to get to the airport." McDean said.
"That was just what I was thinking!" McTiennan said.
They quickly ran back to the car.
"Great minds think alike!" Irma said, winking at Jin. She then remembered that didn't matter, because Jin wouldn't have noticed anyway.
'Thanks Jin.' Irma thanked Jin through her thoughts.
'No problem, Irma. I guess that mind manipulation thing comes in handy, huh?´ Jin responded.
´Yes it does!'
'You're also going to abuse this, right?´ Jin asked.
'Yes I am!'
In the backyard, Sandpit had created a sandstorm around the three guardians.
"Close your eyes!" Taranee yelled at the rest.
"We need air!" Hay-Lin said, creating a tornado, throwing Sandpit aside.
"One down, one to go!" Hay-Lin said.
Taranee noticed Miranda sneaking up behind Hay-Lin, trying to shoot web at her. When Miranda noticed Taranee had seen her, she quickly shot web at Taranee, covering her mouth.
'Hay-Lin, behind you!´
Hay-Lin turned and saw Miranda trying to shoot web at her, when Miranda suddenly got hit by a rock, shooting her into the swimming pool.
"Huh? Oh, thank Cornelia!"
"Don't look at me!" Cornelia said.
"No, look at me instead." Jin responded.
"Jin!"
Miranda was trying to climb out of the swimming pool, but she couldn't escape.
Sandpit was reforming.
"We still got Sandpit problems!" Taranee said.
"I see it!" Cornelia responded. "Maybe I can trap him underground befo…"
But it was too late. Sandpit came rushing towards her.
Cornelia screamed, when suddenly a trash can shot at Sandpit, encasing him.
"Thanks Hay-Lin!"
"That wasn't me!" Hay-Lin said.
They looked at Jin, who was shaking her head.
"Don't look at me. It wasn't me either."
"But that means…" Taranee started.
"I have new powers too!" Cornelia finished Taranee's sentence.
She then closed the trashcan with its top and threw it into the pool, right on top of Miranda.
"Telekinesis. Amazing!" Taranee said in amazement.
"Quite a victory, guardians! You can brag about it…from your prison cells!" Miranda hissed from inside the pool.
A fold opened behind her and she tried to reach it with Sandpit still in the trashcan.
"You're not getting away, Miranda!"
Jin focused and some vines came out of the ground, but before they could reach Miranda, she had gone through the fold. The vines went in too. Jin tried to focus and the vines went in deeper, trying to grab Miranda and Sandpit. Suddenly, some sort of electricity came out of the fold and travelled through the vines to Jin. She screamed in pain and the fold closed, cutting the vines.
"Jin, are you alright?" Hay-Lin asked.
"Yeah, but what was that power?" Jin asked. "It felt…strange."
All three of the guardians shook their heads.
"We don't know."
*At the airport*
The cops had arrived.
"Eh, tell me again why we needed to get to the airport?" Tom asked.
Then, McTiennan noticed Will in the crowd.
"Look, it's her!" She pointed at Will.
Will ran away, and the cops started the chase. Irma smiled.
Will had stopped in front of a window. The cops caught up.
"That's it! You're coming with us!"
"Do you even know what you're trying to accuse me from?" Will asked.
McDean and McTiennan looked at each other in surprise. Both didn't have the slightest idea.
"She…ran away from home when we were trying to arrest her?" McTiennan offered as an idea.
"That's right!" McDean said with a smile.
Suddenly, they heard someone yell.
"Will, Irma!"
Tom recognized the one who had yelled at them.
"Elyon?"
"She's here?" McTiennan asked.
"Why, Elyon! You would not believe how much you've been missed!" Irma said.
"I'm so glad you came to meet me. Allow me to introduce my cousin Caleb and my new…puppy?" Elyon said, with at the end a slight hint of a laugh. Caleb showed a small cage.
"Eh, Blunk barks! Bark, bark!" was heard from the cage.
Tom walked up to them.
"Sorry girls. This has been one huge misunderstanding."
Irma, Will and Elyon smiled at eachother.
While the rest left, McDean and McTiennan were standing against a window.
"What a waste of time!" McDean said.
"Aw, look at it from the bright side, Mac! Family was missing, we found 'em!" McTiennan said, trying to cheer him up.
*The next day, at school*
"So Will and I convinced Alborn and Miriadell, I mean, the Browns, that I needed to finish the school year. I'll be commuting for Meridian every day."
Elyon had just finished explaining Will's plan to Taranee, Hay-Lin, Cornelia and Jin.
"Good plan Will, I knew you would fix it." Jin said, receiving a smile from Will.
"And I will be here too every day." Caleb said. "But only to make sure Elyon stays safe."
"But won't classes be boring for the Queen of the castle?" Cornelia asked Elyon.
"Give me school books over sewage projects any day!" Elyon said.
Alchemy came running towards them.
"Elyon, you're back!"
Elyon and Alchemy hugged eachother.
"Oh, I was so worried about you!" Alchemy said.
"Sorry, Alchemy. My trip lasted longer than I thought. But you should hear my travel stories!" Elyon responded with a laugh.
*That evening, at Irma's house*
Irma was listening to music, when her dad came in.
"What did I do now?" She asked, taking off her headset. "Steal the last ice cream bar?"
"I guess I deserved that." Tom said, a bit sad. "I'm sorry I gave you such a hard time."
"Meh, it's okay. I have been kinda weird lately." Irma responded, making her father smile. "I don't know. Maybe I'm just…growing up?"
"Well, I'm awfully proud off who you're growing up to be." Tom responded. They then hugged.
*Meanwhile, at Will's house*
"Sorry, sir, but I received my daughter's report card today and…her grades simply aren't improving." Susan said over the phone. "I have to put her wellbeing first. She hasn't adjusted to Heatherfield. I'd like to request a transfer. Out of town."
Jin was listening from Will's chamber.
'This can't be good'
