Irma : Hey! Why did I have the less role in the previous chapter?
Me : Because you aren't always the centre stage of the story.
Hay Lin : He's right you know.
Me : Now that you're here, here is the disclaimer.
Hay Lin : storyLover58 does not own W.I.T.C.H., or anything else for your matter.
Me : Now on with the story...
Chapter 15 : Medimn vs. Meridian (Part 2)
The battle between Medimn and Meridian was still on. As Meridian tried to defend any way they could, they were heavily outmatch by the army of Medimn, thanks to their mechanism they brought with them. The army of Meridian only hope was to wait for the guardians aid. 'Hold the line! We need to hold them here until the guardians get here!' Caleb called out as he and the rest of the army were battling out. He knew that they won't stand a chance with Medimn without the guardians, even with the queens help, they were completely outmatch.
'Vathek! Try using the catapults!' Julian called out.
'Alright Julian!' Vathek answered back before he went towards one of the catapults that was still intact. He then called out a few of the men to help him with the catapult. They load it up with a boulder before aiming it.
'Ready!' Vathek called out. 'Wait for my signal,' he stated as he use the binoculars to look at the target.
Vathek then saw a target, one of the mechanism that Medimn brought with them. 'Fire!' he called out. The men fired the catapult at the specific target before they began reloading it again. But Vathek soon noticed that the enemy managed to counter their attack by destroying the boulder into smaller stones. 'Get out of here now!' he ordered as he knew that the enemy will try to destroy the catapult. And he was right as he and the rest of the men managed to escape it in a nick of time.
'That was too close,' Vathek said before he went back into battle with the rest of the army.
Meanwhile, the guardians and Regents were on their way to the third base. 'How far is it?!' Cornelia asked loudly as she was getting impatient. Suddenly, they heard an explosion nearby, which Will figured it could be mean they were close by.
'Will that answer your question?' Will asked back. They continued their flight towards the explosion, which they knew it could mean the explosion was actually from the battle that was going on. 'Hay Lin, can you make our entrance a little less quiet?' Will asked.
Hay Lin knew what did Will meant by that. They wanted to have a surprise attack on the enemy. 'Got it,' she replied before she used the air around them to almost completely silent. Not a sound could be heard around them as they nearing the battle zone.
Back at the battle, Elyon and Sandpit were advancing into the enemy while the rest of the army were back at the base, defending the attack from Medimn. 'Take this!' Elyon yelled out as she shoot out beams of light at the enemy. But it didn't stop them from advancing towards the palace and the village.
'Elyon! You and Sandpit need to fall back!' Raythor cried out as he noticed the battle with their queen.
'I can handle this!' Elyon yelled back as she continued to shoot beams of light. But she didn't paid any attention behind her when a boulder was heading straight towards her. Sandpit was too busy to notice this as it was making a sand tornado at the enemy. Elyon turned around before realising that she was too late to stop the boulder. She use her arms to block the attack by placing them in front of her. But she didn't feel any impact.
When she opened her eyes, she noticed that the boulder was just hovering in the air. She was relief as the boulder was stopped in midair, which she figured that the guardians had finally arrived. 'Great timing Cornelia,' she said sarcastically.
'Hey, it's better to be late then never,' Cornelia quipped.
'So, they came back,' Will stated at the battle.
'And I don't think they would take us lightly,' Taranee continued.
'Oh right, time to do some serious pounding, kiddos,' Napolean quipped as he was dropped to the ground along with Mr Huggles. They landed onto the ground without breaking a sweat. Matt and the guardians landed beside them.
'Taranee, Hay Lin, Matt, offence. Cornelia, medical. Mr Huggles, Napolean, with me,' Will commanded like a leader. They all nodded to her orders before they went into their stations. Will then went to help the army of Meridian to fight off the enemy while Matt, Taranee and Hay Lin went to help Elyon and Sandpit. Cornelia went to heal the woundeds as well as helping them by getting out of the battle zone.
'Napolean, try to take out those men, Mr Huggles, come with me,' Wil called out. She and Mr Huggles went towards one of the mechanism that the enemy brought. Will could understand what they brought with them. It looks like a cannon, but instead of a metal balls, they use rocks, covered in fire.
'Huggles, try to destroy one of those cannon, I will deal with those men,' Will called out. Huggles nodded before he barged through the army, towards the cannon. Will will distract the rest of the army away from both of Huggles and the cannon.
Taranee, Hay Lin and Matt were giving their best at attacking the enemy by combining their maigc together. They managed to inflict a lot of damage, but that didn't stop the enemy from adavacing either. They even destroyed two of the cannons they brought. 'There's just too many of them!' Matt cried out.
'Hay Lin, time for a little cook-out,' Taranee quipped. Hay Lin nodded before she flew straight towards her before combining her air and Taranee's fire to make a fire swirl. They managed to create a wall fire, preventing the enemy from advancing while they attack the rest of the army.
In Medimn, Irma fell asleep in the bathtub. 'Aliria! Where are you!' a guard yelled out. Irma didn't hear her maid's name being called as she was still asleep. The guard then entered the bedroom, which he realised that there was no one around. He was about to leave when he noticed the bathroom door was nearby. He figured that the maid could be in there, bathing. He went towards the door before giving it a knock, whihc abrudly awoken Irma. 'Aliria! Get out of the bathroom! You have some work to do!' the guard yelled through the door.
'Okay, just... give me a minute,' Irma said, a little hesitate. She quickly got out of the bathtub before putting the robe on. She then opened the door before facing the guard. 'What is it this time?' Irma asked sourly.
'The horse needs brushing, the barn needs racking and the table needs cleaning,' the guard stated.
Irma sigh as she knew that she won't be able to get some free time since she needed to do all the work around the palace. 'Fine, let me change into some clothes. Now, if you will excuse me,' she said before the guard was pushed out the bedroom by Irma. She then slammed the door right in front of the guard, which left him speechless. He then returned to the palace doors to guard it.
Irma was going though the closet to get a fresh new clothes to wear. But she was upset as the clothes were all the same, and it didn't fit her taste of clothes. She just randomly chose one before taking it with her into the bathroom to change.
As she exited the bathroom, she was back in her maid's outfit, which she would really regreted accepting being a maid in the first place. 'Someday, I so not going to accept any of this,' Irma said to herself before she head out of the bedroom.
As she headed to one of the stables, she wondered what the other girls were doing right now. She figured they could be battling out with the army of Medimn, or something else. She then grab a brush before she went to brush one of the horses. With her experience with the horses, she doesn't mind this since she did ride on one before, during the carnival which was held at the school before.
Back in Meridian, the battle was still intense, with both sides not backing down. Elyon and Will was now defending the enemies while the rest of the guardians and Regents went into offence. 'Elyon, try to combine your magic with mine. I don't know what would happen if we do that,' Will stated as she shoot lightning bolts at the enemy.
'I'll try,' Elyon said, agreeing with Will's strategy. She then combined her magic with Will's. They could feel that their magic was increasing, but they had to keep on concentrating on their magic in order to control it. It took them a few seconds as there was a light emited from two of them.
Everybody shielded their eyes from the light. As the light faded away, the battle quickly resume. But they didn't noticed that both of Will and Elyon magic had been increased. 'Ready Elyon?' Will asked.
'As I ever be,' Elyon replied before she and Will went into offence mode. They took out the cannon first, since it was the biggest threat to them. They destroyed all of them in just a few seconds before they concentrate their attack on the army. The archers quickly attack them, but they just use their barrier to shield them. Then they both counter attack on the archers before they went towards the rest of the group.
Cornelia was using the earth around her to move the rock beneath the army by raising it before Hay Lin used her wind to blow them into a tornado she created. Taranee and Matt tried to hold them while Napolean and Huggles both were beating the men out cold. 'I couldn't believe I am saying this, but I really envy Irma,' Cornelia quipped.
'Tell me about it,' Hay Lin agreed.
Cornelia then spotted both of Elyon and Will heading straight towards them. She figured the light came from both of them, since she noticed the army of Medimn were beaten and the cannons were completely destroyed. 'Need some help?' Will asked.
'Do we ever,' Hay Lin said as Will and Elyon went to help them.
It only took them minutes to stop the enemy from advancing. Some of them had retreated while the others were captured by Meridian's army. Both Will and Elyon managed to place their magic back to normal. Since they used too much magic, they both were completely exhausted.
'Now that was intense,' Cornelia remarked.
'We know,' the rest of the girls said.
'So, Will, since when did you go all superpowered?' Hay Lin asked cheerly.
'Yeah, Will, tell us,' Matt said.
'Well, I figured that if both of me and Elyon combied our magic, maybe we can stop the attack,' Will explained.
'And it did,' Elyon continued.
'But still, they still have our first base as their base,' Caleb explained.
'We know, Caleb,' Elyon stated.
'If Irma's here, maybe this battle could go a little easier,' Cornelia said.
'Whoa, hold up Corny. Have you forgotten, even if Irma is here, she couldn't help us,' Will protested.
'Why not?' Cornelia asked.
'Didn't you notice that Aliria looks exactly like Irma, which could means that the king could have suspicious of her,' Will explained.
'Oh...' Cornelia was lost for words.
'Anyway, do you think that they will be back for another strike?' Caleb asked.
'I'm not certain, but if they ever attack, we will be ready,' Will said.
'Hey, Elyon, do you think that they will use the weapons against us?' Taranee asked.
'I hope not,' Elyon said.
Back in Medimn, Irma just finished brushing the horses. She was now racking one of the barn full of hay. 'Well, at least this jobs doesn't stinks,' Irma thought as she racked up a pile of hay. She was about to leave the barn when she heard someone was outside the door, talking to each other.
'I just receive some news that the king wanted to send the rest of the army through the fold. They even wanted us to bring the big cannon,' one of the guard said.
'I can't believe that the army were jsut defeated by four fairies, two grutes and an eagle,' the other guard stated.
'Well, at least we don't have to stay here anymore. Now we can have some action,' the first guard stated.
Irma heard the conversation and figured that her friends had just defeated the enemy back in Meridian. She was delighted that her friends managed to defend Meridian from Medimn armies, but she had to tell them about another strike, which it could mean some serious attack. She opened the door before noticing that the two guards had disappeared. She hurried back towards the palace to inform Will about the next waves of attack. She also had to keep out of sight from the palace guards, to avoid any suspicious.
As she entered the bedroom, she quickly locked the door before checking whether the coast was clear. She took out the Heart of Aquariat before making a fold to Meridian. She knew she also had to stay hidden when she needed to speak to the girls.
But before she passed through the fold, she just remembered something. 'Where are they anyway?' she asked herself. She closed back the fold before pacing back and forth in the bedroom. She then snapped her fingers as she figured out a way to communicate to Will, without leaving Medimn. 'I hope this works,' she said softly before concentrating on the heart. She was reaching out to the Heart of Kandrakar, in order to contact Will.
In Meridian, Will was in one of the tents, along with the others. They were making some plans and strategies for any possible attacks. 'We can move up some defences here, and here,' Julian stated out on the map.
'Then the rest of us can go into attack mode,' Will continued when the Heart of Kandrakar was calling her. She quickly looked at the jewel before realising why was the heart calling her. 'Irma? What's wrong?' she asked out of surprised.
'Will, Medimn is about to launch another attack. You need to kick them out of Meridian right away,' Irma explained.
'But the Meridian army is wounded and exhausted from our last battle. I don't think they can take the attack to them,' Will protested.
'Will, you have to try something,' Irma said.
'Fine, but I'm not promising anything to you.'
'Oh, you won't,' Irma said before she cut the contact. Will then faced the others before telling about what she found out from Irma.
'So, we will be bringing the attack Medimn, fine by me,' Julian said.
'Me too,' Caleb said.
'We will always be by your side, guardians,' Raythor said.
'I'm in too,' Elyon followed.
'Then, let's show them who they are messing with,' Will said as they all nodded. They hurriedly left the tent before ordering the army of Meridian to prepare their gear and move out.
Meanwhile, in an unknown location, Zarla and Irma were both in a cave, waiting for the real Irma to appear. 'You will try to find a way to distract the other guardians while I will try to take the water guardians power,' Zarla said.
'I don't think that is full-prove,' Irma disagreed.
'Then, what are you coming up with then?' Zarla asked as she was getting annoyed by the attitude of the copied of the water guardian.
'You don't have to worry about that. I think I have a better plan, far more better than yours,' Irma said in her menacing voice.
Sorry for the late update, been having a little school work and a little tired, but I will update this story every week. Thanks for waiting. And leave some reviews please.
This is ONLY for Lexvan and VamireWater98 : I know what you mean. But to be honest, I don't actually 'hated' the school. It's just that, I really hated when they have exams. I mean, school work, projects and waking up early in the morning, no problem. But exams, now that I have problems. Since my history and physics isn't my strong subjects.
