Vol. 07

Chapter 26

The four warriors ended up running into a runway as the fake cops chased them on. Hermione stopped and turned to face the imposters. "I'm getting tired of this game! Alright! Upon the Rule of Mercury, Lend Me Your Speed!" Hermione transformed. Marcella thought the same.

"Okay, me too then! Upon the Rule of Mars, Lend Me Your Rage!" Marcella transformed. Luna also wolfed out. Selina noticed their transformations, and stopped running, she tried to catch her breathe first.

"Fine. I'll be the last one! Upon the Rule of Diana, Lend Me Your Light!" Finally they've all transformed. Hermione started to think quickly, and then she snapped her fingers (light bulb)!

"If they're made out of earth, then why don't we give them a quake!"

"I think that's where I come in! Hold on to something! Iron Fist, Collide!" Marcella punched the ground causing it to shake. The cops began to crumble to ground leaving a heap of dirt in the middle of the runway. "Yes! I did it!" Marcella went happy-happy!

"That's some quick thinking, Mercury!" Luna commented.

"Great job, Mars!" Selina cheered on.

"You could say that." Marcella showed off a little and dust the dirt off her shoulders. They were interrupted by a nasty laugh, the warriors looked around and found Jason up on the tower.

"Guardian Moon, Guardian Mercury and Guardian Mars! I saw who you are!"

"Oh crap! He saw us!" Selina exclaimed.

"The life of a flower is short and full of suffering. Today will be the end of your lives as well!"

"They say beauty and good fortune seldom go hand in hand. But I guess, we're going to die young because we're so beautiful." Selina said it with a wonderful smack of sarcasm.

"Just tell us which one of you're gonna kill first." Marcella joined in.

"Well, I think you should start with the dog." Selina pointed Luna out.

"Oh, poor me!" Luna gave them a scary glare.

"Of course, try to keep it clean, we want to look good in our funerals." Selina was enjoying herself.

"Ha-Ha! You two are so funny! You guys get dirty even by walking down the street! Give me a break!" Hermione found this ridiculous.

"That's enough already! This is not the time to be goofing off!" Luna got to her limit.

"Sorry, Luna." Selina apologized in behalf of the group.

"We have a mission! We can't die now!" Luna stood her ground ready to fight.

"Poor little lambs, you are all going to the Underworld." Jason closed his eyes and started to concentrate on his powers. To the girls left a jumbo jet was coming to their way.

"Holy shit! We're going to get run over!" Selina yelled out.

"Run!" Luna ran ahead of them, and the girls followed. As they were running, another jet was coming over from a different direction.

"Oh! There's another one over here! I can't believe this! We got to do something!" Selina panicked. The girls were stuck onto one spot.

"I need to use my Iron Fist." Marcella demanded.

"You can't! Do you have any idea how much a jet airplane costs?! All your lifetime pays put together couldn't pay for one jet!" Luna freaked out.

"Are you moon dazed?! Are lives are at stake and you're worried about the cost of these things!" Selina couldn't believe what she just heard.

"Luna I don't think that matters right now!" Marcella supported Selina.

"Then we have only one solution!" Hermione mentioned.

"And what's that, brainiac?" Selina was losing it.

"RUN!" Hermione ran in front of them and the rest followed along.

"C'MON!" The two Guardians cried out.

"No way! Getting run over by a car is one thing, but I'd be too embarrassed to say I was run over by an airplane!" As Selina continues to run, up ahead she saw the water. "There's no more runway!"

"This is bad!" Luna growled, couldn't think of anything to do. The jet came closer to them very quickly. Jason stood at the top of the tower laughing his head off.

"This is it!" But he got disturbed by a cut on the cheek by a razor leaf that landed by his foot, this disturbed his concentration of controlling the two jets.

"The jet stopped!" Said Luna.

"Are you having fun bullying these helpless ladies?" a voice came in.

"You appear again, Guardian Earth. I'll send you to the Underworld along with the other Guardians!" Jason turned to face the Guardian.

"A villain who toys with innocent people. You won't get away with it." Guardian Earth doing his usual quotes. The other three Guardians looked up to see what was happening.

"Look, it's Guardian Earth!" Marcella shouted. The two men stood their ground and had their eyes onto each other. Jason held out his hands and released a burst of energy aimed at Guardian Earth.

"DIE!" Jason yelled out with anger. Guardian Earth leaped into the air missing the impact of the blast. Jason also leaped into the air having equal battlefields among the two. Jason charge at the Guardian in attack, Guardian Earth defended himself. The ladies watched the two men beat each other up. Guardian Earth landed back to the ground safely, Jason went after him, but the Guardian hid under his green cape and stayed in one spot. Jason used his energy again this time hitting right on target. The ladies were shock of how easily Jason ended the fight on his advantage. Jason walked to the damaged cape and picked it up and showed it to the other Guardians. "Well, that's one Guardian down, three more to go!" He threw the cape into the water and the ladies watched it drift away.

"Where's Guardian Earth?" Marcella asked in worry.

"I don't know what happened to him?" Selina was in a state of shock. Jason laugh at the Guardians.

"Your trusty Guardian Earth is dead! Cry and wail all you want, it won't bring him back! Can you do nothing without the help of a man?! Women are such foolish creatures in the end!" He continues to laugh.

"Only old men think men are better than women these days!" Marcella pointed it out.

"That's right! Scorning women is positively medieval!" Hermione added.

"Down with sexual discrimination!" Selina finishing off. The three came together hold hands.

"We must fight against our enemies, in the name of Olympus!" Now that's a team cheer. Jason stood there not caring for what they said.

"Foolish girls! Behold my powers!" He used energy and began to control the planes again. The planes were coming even faster than before. The Guardians looked from left to right not knowing what to do.

"Not again!" Selina complained.

"This way!" Marcella ran in one direction ahead of the rest and they all followed along. Luna ran beside them.

"Don't let the jets distract you! Our opponent is not the jet, but the guy manipulating them, JASON!" Luna is doing a good job as their guide. Hermione stopped running and the others did the same.

"Unfortunately, Luna is right!" Hermione came to terms never wanting to agree with Luna.

"We have to work together!" Marcella added.

"And defeat that jerk!" Selina had the last word.

"Since you understand that, you can keep running as the decoy." Marcella pointed at Selina.

"WHAT?! Why me?!" Selina loves to complain, it gives me a headache just typing them all the time.

"Quicksilver Haze, Surround!" Hermione blew out a huge amount of mercury, covering the runway in thick fog. Selina continue to run from the jets and complaining at the same time.

"Oh, no! This isn't fair, you two!" Jason realized their was only one of them running around, he tried to look through the fog.

"Where are the other two?"

"I'm here!" called Hermione from behind.

"I'll take care of you in the same way!" He turned around and faced her, he moved the jet to her direction and fast. Hermione began to run past Jason away from the jet. Marcella sneaked in behind him whispering out her attack.

"Iron Fist, Collide!" She punched the ground and created a semi-explosion weakening the man to his knees, the mercury started to take effect. Marcella ran away from Jason.

"It's useless to run! Give up and die already!" He then noticed the two jets where coming to his direction, he was right in the middle. "What is this?!" He started to run from the planes. "Why are they coming towards me?!" He tried to control them but he had no energy left due to mercury poisoning and the injuries from the explosion. His way was blocked by the three Guardians, he finally got nervous.

"Hi there! FYI, we're not just women with emotions, but we can be also a little bitchy!" Said Selina.

"Why?! Why are my thoughts in chaos?!" Jason panicked.

"Because that's all you can think about, chaos!" Marcella answered his question.

"You fell into your own trap! Who's the fool now?!" Hermione laughed.

"This may sound cheesy, but I'll say it anyway. Your countless evil deeds need to be stopped! In the name of Olympus, we will defeat you!" Selina grabbed her discus and charge it up. "Silver Moon, Watch My Aim!" She through the discus at Jason and watched it fly. Jason managed to dodged it with the little strength he has left and gloated.

"You know that toy of yours won't kill me!" Jason yelled out.

"Yeah, I know, but those will." Selina pointed at the two jets that were inches away from crushing the man. Jason turned and know he's in big doo-doo. As they came closer he yelled out in fear as he stood there helplessly. Man, it was not a pretty sight at all.

Back in the dark cool cave, Lady Pandora sits upon her throne enjoying her peace. Until a disturbance barged in. Jason appeared not looking too good with all his injuries that he achieved from battle in front of the lady herself. I guess he managed to survive the planes, too bad. "Lady Pandora..." he pleated.

"So, you think women are worthless creatures. Don't you dare underestimate women! If I were you, I would be careful what you say, don't forget that more than half of the Gods are women including ME!" Pandora was not in a good mood, believe me it's not worth imagining it. Jason remembered what he said before. "Fool! So, you have the shame to come crawling back!"

"Lady Pandora, I have discovered the identity of the Guardian warriors." He begged for dear life.

"Excuses are UNBECOMING! In the BOX you go! Sweet dreams, Jason, it's been a pleasure to be working with you." Pandora opened her box facing to Jason, black demonic shadow arms came out of it and grabbed the man and dragging him into the box.

"Lady Pandora, WAIT..." Jason screamed out his last breathe as he gets sucked into the box. The box closed itself and locked up.

"At least I can use up his energy for my box, he wasn't useless after all!" Pandora smiled. "You will be the next strategic commander!" She called out a man hidden in the shadows and replied.

"Jason was a fool. Leave matters to me." he laughed away.

Back at the airport, the Guardians looked out in the waters in grief of Guardian Earth. "Guardian Earth disappeared for sure this time." Selina broke the silent feeling bad at the same time since he won't come back.

"It's no use just staring out there. It's sad, but we should get going." Luna mentioned.

"I have this funny feeling that he is still out there." Said Selina

"Thank you for worrying about me!" the voice came from behind them. The three turned and saw Guardian Earth in tip-top shape.

"Of course your alive, you used one of your disappearance acts. And who said I was worried?" Selina grew happy but didn't want to show it.

"It's not easy to kill a Guardian." He replied.

"Why do you always come to our rescue?" Hermione asked.

"I know! What's with the heroic scenes?" Selina butt in.

"Who in the world are you?" Marcella got curious.

"I cannot reveal my identity yet. You three Guardians should continue to value your friendship! In the meantime, good bye!" Guardian Earth disappeared in his cape once again. The Guardians went back to their homes without any worries left on their minds. For now.
