Season Three Episode Twenty-Six: "Omega" Chapter Five
When the Guardians and Regents returned to Sheffield, a great cheer went up from everyone present. The girl's parents rushed to them, ecstatic that they were okay, and that the troubles were over, at least for now.
Susan embraced Will, then stepped back and took a close look at her. "Wow." she said. "You look… um…"
Grinning, Will answered "Thanks. I think it's pretty cool."
"It is, but for now I think I'd still like my little girl back."
"I'll change us back after everyone's done celebrating. Halinoor says we'll be dead-tired when we power down from this." Will said.
"See?" Irma asked her mother, "What'd I tell you? Piece of cake."
Anna stared at Irma for a moment, then threw her arms around the girl. Tom reached around to embrace them both. "Irma, I'll never get used to any of this. But I'm still very proud of you." Anna said.
Taranee and Cassidy found Lionel and Theresa on the outskirts of the crowd. Lionel looked at Cassidy and said "So what's this I hear about my son proposing to you?"
Shocked, Taranee's head spun towards Cassidy "He What! Why didn't you tell me?"
"And have you distracted in the big fight?" Cassidy answered, "Not a chance."
Laughing, Lionel said "Well, welcome to the family I guess. Something tells me things are gonna get very interesting."
With a raised eyebrow, Theresa said "More interesting than magic and monsters?"
Lionel looked at Cassidy, thought for a moment, and replied "I stand by my statement." Everyone in hearing range laughed.
Cornelia's parents found her with Caleb. "No time for the folks huh?" Harold asked as they approached.
"Sorry." Cornelia answered. "Caleb was there, had to be sure he was okay."
"We understand." Elizabeth said. Looking her daughter over, she then asked "So how long does this last?"
"'Til Will changes us back. Which I'm sure she'll do any minute now. I'm in no rush, I like it." Cornelia said. Flipping her hair, she added "Plus, now I know for sure I've got a modeling career in my future."
Hay Lin met her parents and grandmother near the musician's stage. Both parents fawned over her, to her considerable embarrassment. "Mom, dad, we're in public!" she whispered.
Joan simply answered "Then the public will know you're loved." and then hugged even tighter.
When they finally let go, Yan Lin stepped in close and said "Some good news. After the big fold closed, before you came back, We talked with your classmates and got them to agree to keep quiet about who the Guardians and Regents are. Even the Dominators agreed."
"Will that work?" Hay Lin wondered, "You know how people can be. Someone's bound to talk sooner or later."
"Maybe." Yan Lin said cryptically, "Or maybe we only need them quiet for a little while…"
Alborn and Miriabelle embraced Elyon upon her return. "I'm just glad everyone is alright." the Queen said. "Let the worst come, as long as we can weather it together."
"Well said." Alborn replied.
Miriabelle looked around, and said "It looks like the rescue workers will be getting through the rubble soon. You girls had better change back to normal."
Alchemy's parents held her close, though not to quite the embarrassing degree the Lins had with Hay Lin. Though she wouldn't admit it, Alchemy found the presence of her mother and father comforting after all that had happened.
Paula said "You know, I think I'm getting better. I actually took knowing that you were on another world fighting against some kind of ultra-death-spider pretty well."
"You'll be alright." Alchemy said. "You had a bad shock when the whole Garix thing happened. But, in the end… In the end, where do you think I got what it took to have this power from? That'd be you."
Paula smiled as she continued to hold her daughter close…
Miranda and Gideon sat next to each other on a fallen steel roof strut. "I hope this doesn't mean things have to change for us." He said to her.
"Things will change. They'll have to, at least a little." Miranda answered. "But that's okay. I've gotta be the poster child for change being good." she laughed.
"Tell me about it?" Gideon asked.
"I will, but this isn't the time, or the place." Miranda said. Just then, they heard Will calling for everyone to come to her. "See?" Miranda said. "Always a distraction."
When everyone was together, Will said "Time to change back." She looked at the watching parents and added "Like I already told my mom, we'll probably be to tired to move after I do this. We'll need a hand." She then held out the Heart, which reabsorbed it's powers and returned the Guardians to normal. Immediately, they grew weak legged and nearly fell. Will and Alchemy, in fact, would have fallen over had Dean and Arthur not been there to catch them.
Soon, chairs were gathered for the girls to rest in while they all waited for the official rescue teams to finish digging an escape route out of the ruined gym. The Regents returned to normal as well.
After only a few more minutes, the army rescue team finished the tunnel out. General Stanrych was upset but not surprised to see the first men into the gym were not medics, but the three mysterious "higher ups" he had dealt with days earlier. They demanded to know what had happened, so the General gave them a condensed version of events. When he finished, there was only one question: "And where did the Guardians go?"
"I have no idea." Stanrych answered. "They never came back from that other world. I presume they're still there." Disappointed, the men left as the all clear was given for the civilians to clear out.
As the Guardian's families helped them out, Will said to Dean and Susan "You mind if I ask one thing?"
"Go ahead Will." Susan answered.
"I'll be asleep before we get home. I know you can't hear machines like I can, but they can hear you just fine… Please tell my alarm that if she goes off, at all, she'll regret it…"
Dean laughed. "Don't worry Will. I'll do you one better and just unplug it."
"Even better." Will murmured. She was asleep the moment she fell into the back seat of the car…
Author's Note One:
As noted in the prologue, I've never read the comics and know nothing of them except for the Oracle's name. Therefore, the things I've wrote about Kandrakar's past may not be accurate in light of them. Apologies if so.
Author's Note Two:
And there it is! The last full episode at last! Don't give up on me just yet though, there's gonna be a short epilogue before I hit the 'complete' button. Look for it in two-three days.
