Me : Now, let's continue with the story...
Chapter 13 : Another Assault
It was another day in Medimn. Irma was waking up from her sleep, which she had no choice since she was the maid after all. She wore the maid's clothes before she went into the bathroom to wash up. Later, she exited the bedroom before descending the stairs before walking down the hall. As she came into the kitchen, she noticed that there were a hole in the painting's eyes. She figured the rebels use it to spy on the king. She grab a seat before her breakfast came into the kitchen. There were bacons and eggs for breakfast, like the one she had back in Heatherfield. She started to eat while trying to look out for the holes on the painting in case the rebels came to spy.
After she had finished her breakfast, she exited the hall before headed towards the thrown hall. She wondered what would the king be thinking of her doing her work. As she descended the stairs, she could hear some footmen getting ready outside. She wondered whether the guards back in Meridian were finally ready for their attack.
In Meridian, Elyon, Caleb and the rest of the guards were outside the palace, getting ready for another asault. 'I hope that Irma's wrong,' Caleb said as he and Vathek were keeping an eye out.
'Hey, at least I can work out my new attack skills,' Vathek said as he tried to do his skills, but he slip up as the weapon flew out of his hands before landing on Blunk.
'Or maybe not,' Vathek said as he noticed that Blunk just passed out from the impact.
'Just take him somewhere else, maybe it will make this place smell better,' Caleb remarked as Vathek dragged Blunk from the base.
Caleb was standing when Elyon stood beside him. 'Anything yet?' she asked.
'No, not yet,' Caleb replied as he continued to keep watch.
'I think Irma just got her information wrong, I don't seem to see any fold,' Elyon said as she look around.
'But we still need to stay here, in case they attack,' Caleb protested. As Elyon was about to leave, she and Caleb heard a fold being opened.
'I guess we were both wrong,' Elyon quipped as an army from Medimn began to emerge from the fold.
'How many are we going to face?' Caleb asked as he look back at the army, with the help of Sandpit and Gargoyle.
'Just enough for us to beat,' Elyon said as they went into battle stance, preparing to defend Meridian.
'And just in case, Vathek will call out to Blunk to call the girls,' Caleb said before he drew out his sword.
'Then we better get this started then,' Elyon spoke before she ordered her men to prepare for a battle. Some of them were by the catapults while a few were by big boulders.
'Lets see how they will fair with our traps,' Caleb said as he look down.
'Now all we have to do is wait for the right moment,' Elyon replied.
In Heatherfield, Aliria and Hay Lin were in the basement, talking about some random things. 'So, you don't know who your birth mother is?' Hay Lin asked as Aliria shook her head no.
'I don't even know who is my father. I was raised by the king when I was little, so I don't have any memory of the past,' Aliria explained.
'Well, at least you can have me as a friend for a start,' Hay Lin said with a smile. Aliria smile back as she was happy to except Hay Lin as a friend.
'Thanks, for everything,' Aliria said.
'I was wondering, how did you felt when my grandma told you that you will be the ruler of Medimn?' Hay Lin asked, changing the subject.
'Quite difficult, but I don't get it, if the king is still ruling, then why would I be the one to rule the thrown?' Aliria asked. But all Hay Lin could reply was just a simple shrug.
'I wonder how's Irma doing right now?' Hay Lin asked.
'You mean the girl that looks exactly like me?' Aliria asked back.
'Yeah, she will be our insider of the palace while figuring out more about the king, and eventually, his name,' Hay Lin explained.
'Then let's hope she got those information.'
Back in Medimn, Irma was venturing around the palace, amazed by those paintings on the walls. As she came to two doors, she wondered whether she should take this chance to escape the palace. But she resisted it as she remembered that she promised Will that she will help them out. She then turned around before heading back down the hallway.
As she walk, she saw a small tunnel by her left. Being too curious, she went to have a clower look when she heard something from the tunnel. 'How many times have I told you! Close the secret entrance to our tunnel before any guards spotted it!' a male voice yelled.
'Alright! Alright! Just lower your voice or they could hear us too,' another voice replied. Irma then heard some foot steps from the tunnel. She went to hide behind a pillar when a guy came out from the tunnel to check on anything. Irma was standing, daring not to breath as hid there.
It was felt like eternity when the guy had finally left. Irma now could breath in as she heard the door locking up. 'Great, I guess the rebels has really bad timing,' Irma quipped as she check on the door. She was surprised that the door way was almost gone as there wasn't a trace of anything.
'Hey! You there!' a guard yelled, which caught Irma's attention.
'Yeah?' Irma asked, wondering what was wrong.
'The king wants to see you in the thrown hall,' the guard stated.
'Alright,' Irma replied before she began to head to the hall. She looked back at the wall before looking away.
In Meridian, there was a battle. Though the battle was intense, there wasn't anything could tell that either side were giving up. Elyon was in the sky, shooting down beams of light at the attackers. Caleb and the rest of the army were battling out with swords and shields. 'There's too many of them!' Vathek called out as he dodged an attack.
Caleb was thinking about whether they should stand their ground and continue to defend at the spot, or retreat to the second base. And he made the hard decision as he called out. 'Fall back! We might hold them at the second base!' Caleb called out.
The army quickly retreated while Elyon, Sandpit and Gargoyle stayed to hold them off. 'We need those guardians!' Elyon cried out as she was getting tired from all the magic she used.
When every guard had finally left, she, Gargoyle and Sandpit retreated back to the second base while the attackers continued to obliviate everything in their way. But they didn't detroy the base, as they will be making it their own base.
Elyon took a glimpse at the fold while falling back. She saw somebody on a horse, emerged from the fold. Then, after the figure move out of the way, Elyon was shocked at the mechanism that the attackers brought with them. 'We seriously need those guardians right now,' Elyon stated.
In the second base, Raythor and Aldarn were in charge of the base. They were discussing on how should they create traps on their enemy. 'We will dig up some holes in the ground before imprisoning them in the holes,' Aldern explained his plan.
'But we need a way to destroy those catapults they brought with them,' Raythor protested.
'I ran out of ideas, what about you?' Aldarn asked.
'Me too, I wonder how's the first base doing?' Raythor stated when Caleb entered the tent they were in.
'It has been overrun by the attackers, so we fall back to here,' Caleb explained as he and Vathek joined them. Raythor and Aldarn were both shocked at the news as they didn't expect this kind of attack, even with Elyon's help.
'So, what do we do now?' Raythor asked.
'Call the guardians,' a voice said. They all turned to notice that it was Elyon with a serious tone. Caleb then grabbed Blunk by his collar.
'Blunk, go and call the girls. Tell them we need their help, just say Medimn and Meridian, they know what it means,' Caleb said as Blunk nodded. He then put Blunk back on the ground before he use the Tonga Tooth to open a fold to Heatherfield to tell the girls about the situation.
After Blunk left in search for the girl's help, they heard someone calling out. 'Enemy spotted! Heading this way!' a guard yelled from the tower.
Elyon, Caleb, Raythor, Vathek and Aldarn hurriedly went to check on it. As they had arrived at the top of the tower, they took notice of the army advancing to the base. And behind the army, there was a weird looking machine that they never seen before. 'I hope they get here quick,' Elyon whispered as the men got ready for another battle.
In Heatherfield, Blunk was in an alley after he landed from the fold. He then got up before hurriedly ran to the Silver Dragon to inform them about the situation in Meridian. As he was on his way, he spotted Matt. He was walking with Will as they entered the alley. 'I told you Matt, the Grumpers were just spreading lies about your band,' Will said.
'But our reputations will be damage! How are we going to get our fans back, no thanks to those Grumpers!' Matt protested.
'Just give me sometime to think about it, I know there is a way gor you guys to get your fans back,' Will said, trying to cheer her boyfriend up.
When Will and Matt passed a dumpster, Will spotted Blunk. 'Blunk? What are you doing here?' Will asked.
'Meridian in trouble. Medimn and Meridian battle,' Blunk said, which caused Will to stare at him.
'Matt, go and get the rest of the Regents while I go get the girls,' Will stated as Matt shook his head. They then went their separate ways as they will be heading back to Meridian. Blunk then opened up a fold to the restaurant.
As Blunk landed in the basement, he notice that Hay Lin and another girl that looks exactly like Irma, were both talking to each other. Hay Lin then spotted Blunk was looking at them. She then got up from the bed before walking up to Blunk. 'Blunk, what are you doing here?' Hay Lin asked.
'Meridian big trouble, Medimn and Meridian battle. Need go now,' Blunk explained.
'What!?' Hay Lin asked loudly.
Hay Lin was about to ask Blunk about the situation when Will came rushing into the basement, along with Taranee and Cornelia. 'Amazing what we can do with our telepathy. Anyway, is everybody here?' Will said as she looked around. She spotted Aliria was still in the basement, on the bed.
'All except for Irma, which I fell relief about it,' Cornelia quipped as the rest of the group glared at her.
Will then took out the Heart of Kandrakar before calling out. 'Guardians Unite!' with that, four colour orbs emerged from the heart before engulfing the girls. They transformed into their guardians form as they called out their elements.
After doing so, Matt and the rest of the Regents had just entered the basement. 'What's the problem doll? I have a cat nap I needed to go to,' Napolean said as he jumped onto the bed.
'Meridian is under attack again, and we're going there to help defend the place,' Will explained. Matt nodded before he and the other Regents transformed into their Regents form. Will then opened a fold to Meridian before they all went through it, except for Aliria.
Meanwhile, in Medimn, Irma was doing what the king told her to do, clean his bedroom. She was shocked at how the bedroom was a mess after she check it out. She took notice of the robes everywhere, the bed was a mess and there was food scraps on the floor. 'I wonder how did he ever becomes the king,' Irma asked herself as she went to work. She then felt that somebody was watching her as she looked around. But she saw no one was around, so she continued to clean up the mess.
As she was cleaning, she heard some palace guards talking about some random stuff. Irma first thought that there wasn't anything worth listening to when she heard that the king will be leaving the palace to lead his army to Meridian. 'Great, just when everything couldn't have gotten worst,' Irma said to herself when she heard the doors opened.
'Hey, here is an extra work for you,' a guard said as he passed a note to Irma. When Irma received it, the guard left the bedroom. Irma then read the note before she stared at it. 'Yuck! I don't think there is even a loudest ew could beat this,' Irma said as she folded the note. 'I really hate my life,' Irma stated before she went back to work.
Sorry for the late update. Been feeling kinda lazy for a week. But after seeing that I haven't been updating it for a while, I should as well continue it. And the second reason on why I update late was because I was watching some videos on "Youtube". I was watching videos from an uploader from "PewDiePie". He's so awesome. If he sees this, I hope to get a "Brofist". LOL
Anyway, reviews will be greatly appreciated. And sorry for the short chapter, been feeling kinda lazy about it. LOL again.
