Okay, final chapter! But this is just the beginning. Look for the sequel to this story when I'm done here. It'll be called "Barians Versus Arclights", and it'll be chock full of action! As of right now, this is a major cliff hanger to leave you all guessing.

Trey opened his eyes slowly. He looked around, as if not recognizing his surroundings. When he realized it was just his bedroom, he sighed in relief. Now everything was coming back to him...the Barians, Amelia, his wounds. Everything was clear now.
"Eh...what time is it...?" Trey groaned it out and turned to his clock. It was eight-thirty. He'd been asleep way longer then he thought. The pink-haired boy attempted to stand up. Amelia just so happened to be walking in to check in on her twin brother, and she gasped when she saw him.
"Trey!" Amelia rushed up and grabbed Trey gently by the waist, holding him. "You need to be careful, silly. You're not fully healed yet."
"I know...I just want to come downstairs to see the rest of the family..." Trey looked up at Amelia with pleading eyes. She couldn't resist her twin brother's charm.
With a sigh, she grinned and said, "Oh alright. But don't be too crazy about it. You're still weaker than you think."
"Alright Amelia." Amelia helped Trey to stand, and together they walked down the stairs. Trey stumbled a few times, but that was to be expected. When the twins made it down, the rest of the Arclights looked up with smiles. Amelia watched as Trey went running towards them, not trying to stop him. She knew his happiness would keep him going. The pink-haired girl just smiled.
My twin brother is always so perky. That's what I love about him. Perky little Trey-chan. Amelia soon joined her family. They were kinda crowded around Trey, but he didn't seem to mind it. He loved it. Finally being with his family was what he had wanted when this all started. Amelia smiled and sat behind the couch everyone was crowded around. Trey noticed and stood, making his way to his sister.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong...except for the fact the Barians are plotting their revenge on us."
"We can take 'em!" Trey jumped on Amelia in a hug. She smiled and ran a hand through Trey's silky pink hair and nodded.
"I suppose you're right. I just hope that when the time comes, we're ready."
"I'm sure we will be. Just be alert. That's all it takes." Amelia watched as Trey put his head on her shoulder. She giggled and stroked Trey's bangs before sliding from behind the couch, her twin right behind. Quattro gave them a strange look when they appeared, but he said not a word. Instead, he looked down at the ground with a smirk.
"Those dumb Barians...don't they know we'll just take them down again?" Quattro glanced back up at Amelia with a laugh. She snickered and nodded.
"Yeah we will. Vector will pay for hurting Trey. That is a promise."
"We shouldn't be worrying about that now." Quinton was the one who had spoken up. They all watched intently as he shook his head. "Everyone is okay. Until the day they decide to show up again, we just need to relax."
Vetrix nodded in agreement. Amelia shrugged. They were right. No attack was going on yet. Why not just chill? She was finally back with her actual family. Now was the time to enjoy that.

Vector stumbled through the portal, still clutching onto his right arm. Mizael rolled his eyes and left the room before one word was spoken. He didn't want to get involved this time. Alit and Gilag stayed still, as did Durbe. Vector simply rolled his eyes and sat down.
"So...that plan was a bust, wasn't it?" Alit spoke up. Vector snickered.
"Not entirely. I injured Trey and Amelia much more than I thought I would. Heck, Amelia took quite a beating. She lost a tooth in the process." As Vector spoke, Durbe perked up. He was wide-eyed as he asked his question.
"You mean Amelia is that injured?"
"Trey as well. I don't understand how either of them survived."
"Eh..." Durbe looked down with a sigh. Alit and Gilag gave him a strange look. He was suddenly acting very strange. Since when was he concerned with who Vector hurt?
That is not something to be proud of, Durbe thought. He shifted and changed to his human form, causing the other Barians to give him even stranger looks.
"Where are you going?" Gilag asked in his dull tone. Durbe looked back at him.
"Wherever I want," he retorted and fled through a portal.
Alit couldn't believe it. "You know it's important when he A: Doesn't tell us, and he B: Doesn't bring his book with him."
"Strange," was all Vector said before standing up. "Well, I guess he won't hear my plan. Let's get a whole army of Barians here. This includes Mizael, no acceptance. We'll go to Earth when they least expect it, only this time, we'll target Amelia."
Gilag, who had been sitting for the whole conversation, stood and pounded his fists together. "Sounds good to me."
"Same here," Alit stood as well. Vector snickered.
"Excellent. But we should wait a while. If we go now, we'll be too easy a target." Vector changed to his human form and threw his Rei voice in to boot.
"This will be fun. I actually wanna do something Vector suggests this time." Mizael stepped out of the shadows. He actually hadn't gone very far, so he could still hear the plan. "Count me in."
"The more we have on our side the better," Alit said, shrugging his shoulders. "It shall be the downfall of the fifth Crest once and for all."
Rei smirked. "That's correct. We'll take that Amelia down. And the rest of her family too!"
What the four Barians in Barian World didn't realize was that Durbe was still gone. He was running throughout Heartland City, attempting to find Amelia's house and warn them of the coming danger. He didn't want them to be hurt any more than they already were. And if Vector were to bring the rest of the Barians along with him...they most certainly wouldn't stand a chance.
I can't let them hurt Amelia and her family! I just can't! I have to find her and warn her of all this! Before it's too late!
