Chapter 5
THE CELESTIAL CRYSTAL GUARDIANS
Yumi walked down the street with her friends to her house. None of them except for Ulrich Cayne Karina Jin and Sissi knew the real reason behind the sleepover. Yumi had talked to her parents and they told her that they would be staying at another friend's house so they would have the house to themselves and not to trash it. After promising not to destroy the house Yumi and Jin's parents left them in charge and headed out to their friend's house.
"Yumi what's really going on?" asked Jeremy
"You'll find out soon enough Jerik." said Yumi and he started to think again. The only thing he could think of was that Yumi knew more about Xanafar than she was letting on. That was what they were going to figure out tonight.
"Alright Guys." started Yumi. Yumi had hoped that she wouldn't have to do it like this but now that Xanafar knew that they had all of the Guardians back then he would do everything in his power to destroy them. "You know of the history of Guardians but what you don't know is how Xanafar trapped us in our elements in the first place."
"And how do you know about all this." said William.
"That's a longer story. But first let get Xanafar out of the way." said Karone and she did something that caused the room to disappear. The next thing any of them knew they were standing in a room that was dimly lit.
"Karone you know just as well as I do that Xanafar isn't stable. He'll crack and when he does who knows what he'll do?"
"I know Taisho but there's nothing I can do. I'm not the leader of the Guardians and only the leader can chose the guardians that they want to stay."
"I know that Karone but what about the others. They feel as I do. They think it should be you that should lead us."
"I know Taisho but I can't help it." said Karone "The Former Guardians chose him as the Leader and now we have to respect that."
"Even though we don't agree with it?"
"Yes. Even if we don't agree." said Karone.
"Gah. You're impossible." said Taisho and he left the room just as Koran walked through the door and ran into Taisho.
"Whoa sorry Tai." said Koran
"That's fine Koran. Later."
"Man what's his problem?"
"He's mad at me."
"Oh Xanafar?"
"Yeah. Taisho thinks the Former Guardians are making a mistake when it comes to Xanafar leading us. And I have to admit. I agree but it's not our place to choose whether or not the Guardians are making a mistake." said Karone
"Why does he think they are?" asked Koran
"Well since our last mission before we were chosen to be the new Guardians Xanafar had a bad time with the mission because of his past on that world." said Karone
"Oh that's right and he hasn't been the same since." said Koran
"No Taisho and I think that he' going to snap and do something that would break the Code."
"But then he'll lose his powers as a Guardian." said Koran "So there wouldn't be that much he could do to us."
"Unless he sealed our powers." said Karone
"Our Powers? How could he do that?"
"By sealing our dragon Crystals. He knows the legend just as well as I do." said Karone
"Yeah and that's a problem." said Koran
"But how come we don't remember this and you do?" asked Aira
"Because unlike us she was able to trick Xanafar and escape him." said Taisho
"How?" asked Alucurd
"I duplicated." said Karone. "It's one of my Dragon Crystal abilities. After that I searched for the kids that we were supposed to train to take over for us. When I found Yumi she was fighting her brother and I knew then that he was Taisho. So Yumi and I teamed up to get the rest of you guys out of the crystal spheres you were in."
"Dang. Thanks Karone." said Koran. He hadn't realized just how much his love had risked to save him and their friends.
"We can't worry about that now." said Aira. "Now that Xanafar knows we're back and we have the new Guardians what are we going to do?"
"We need to talk to the Former Guardians and see what they say."
"But there's only four left. Millisar Aldo Reiha and Phicra." said Koran
"I know which is why Taisho and I came up with this plan of a slumber party." said Karone. "Myself Koran Arina and Acheron will be going back home while rest stays here and keeps an eye out for Xanafar."
"That will not be necessary Karone." said a male's voice and in walked four people. One had short silver hair and strange markings on his shoulders. Another had brown hair and a bandana. The other two were two girls one with long orange hair and the other with long silver blonde hair.
"Your Graces." said Karone bowing signaling to the others to do the same.
"Stand Guardians." said the Silver haired boy.
"Karone we know exactly what has been happening. We've seen it ever since he broke the Code unfortunately there was nothing we could do as we were no longer the Guardians." said Brown haired boy. "And now there is no need for you to be so formal. You may call us by our names."
"Thank you Aldo." said Karone.
"You should also know Karone we have been discussing your courage. Braving Xanafar, finding the new Guardians, freeing your fellow Guardians and leading them without hesitation has made us consider that we made a mistake when we made Xanafar the leader of the Guardians." said Phicra
"We also know that the power of the Dragon Crystals will no longer be enough to combat Xanafar now that he has gained the power to call the Dragon Serpents." said Reiha
"But Reiha that's the only power we have." said Karone.
"Not anymore." said Millisar. "From now on the Dragon Crystal Guardians will be known as the Celestial Crystal Guardians."
"And not only that. Karone due to your past activities we have decided to name you the Leader of the new Celestial Crystal Guardians." said Aldo.
"Good luck Celestials." Phicra.
"Yes we believe you'll need it." said Reiha and they left.
Karone couldn't believe it. After everything they had went through now they had more power and could fight Xanafar.
"Well it looks like they made the right decision in the choosing of the leader huh Sis?" asked Taisho.
"Yeah. Let's get started." said Karone.
