Will : Sure. storyLover58 does not own W.I.T.C.H..
Me : Now, on to the third part of the story...
Chapter 16 : Medimn vs. Meridian (Part 3)
The rest of the army in Medimn were preparing to move out to Meridian as reinforcements. And behind the army, there were half a dozen of giant cannons lining up. 'Alright men! Move out!' the captain called out as a fold was opened. As they approached the fold, it suddenly closed. They all stopped as they wondered what was wrong.
After a few minutes, the fold was reponed again, but it was closed afterward. 'What is going on here!' the captain cried out noticing they won't be able to crossed the fold.
Hiding in the shadows, Irma was using the Heart of Aquariat to close the fold, preventing the army from crossing it to Meridian. 'I hope those girls hurry up, I don't think I can keep this up,' Irma said softly as she closed the fold again.
Meanwhile, in Meridian, the king was furious as was still trying to keep the fold opened, but it was closed later on. 'Who keeps closing the fold!' he yelled as he opened a fold again, but it was soon closed back.
'Your highness, the army is ready for another attack,' one of the guard said.
'Then move out,' the king ordered. The guard nodded before he went to give the order. The king continued to open the fold back to Medimn, attempting to bring reinforcements but the fold would be closed later on.
In the meantime, Will and Hay Lin were keeping an eye out for the enemy. 'Hear anything yet?' Will asked.
'No, not yet,' Hay Lin replied as she continued to listen to anything through the air. 'Wait, I think I heard something,' Hay Lin stated as she could hear footsteps marching towards them.
'What is it Hay Lin?' Will asked.
'They are coming,' Hay Lin said.
'Then we better warn the others,' Will said. They both hurriedly flew back to the base to warn about another possible attack. Along the way, they spotted some boulders on the cliffs. They figured they could use the boulders to buy them some time to prepare. Will shoot some lightning at one of the cliffs before the boulders topple down, blocking the pathway. Satisfied about the path being blocked, they continued their way back to the base.
In the tent of the base, Elyon and Julian were discussing on who should be next to be on guard while Raythor, Vathek and Caleb were going through the map. 'Those boulders on the cliffs should do us some good,' Caleb stated as he pointed at one of the pathways they just went through earlier.
'It will be a lot easier now since their army has became thinner,' Raythor stated.
Just then, Will and Hay Lin hurried into the tent, with worried looks on their face. Seeing this, Elyon was the first to ask them. 'What's wrong?'
'The Medimn army is coming, but I manage to buy us some time by blocking their pathways,' Will explained, which Caleb stared at her. Will caught sight of him, looking at her awkwardly. 'What's the matter?' she asked.
'Nothing,' Caleb replied as he crossed his arms. His plan was foiled thanks to Will using it to buy them some time.
'Anyway, we should get ready to attack,' Will said as the rest of the group nodded. Will and Hay Lin then went to find the Regent and the rest of the guardians.
Meanwhile, back in Medimn, Irma was still closing the fold whenever it was opened. 'Why won't he just stop opening it...' Irma said. She was still hiding, while closing the fold. She needed to prevent the army of Medimn to cross the fold to Meridian. But she was getting exhausted from closing the fold. Still, she needed to keep on closing it till her friends had defeated the army back in Meridian.
The army were in line, still trying to find a way through the fold, but Irma would close as soon as it was opened. 'Fidn out who is doing this! The king would be furious after he return!' one of the guard yelled out. The army cried out before they continued to wait for the fold to comnpletely be opened for them to pass.
In Meridian, the battle had just broke out. The guardians and Regents were doing their best to defend Meridian, and they look like they were winning. 'Block their escape route! Don't let them escape!' Caleb ordered. Then there were boulders rolled down behind the Medimn army. It was blocking their only path back to their base. Since they were battling out between two cliffs, the guardians and Regents had no problem dealing with them.
'This is getting easier by the sec,' Cornelia commented.
'You said it,' Will agreed as she shoot lightning at the army.
'I wonder when would their king will appear,' Taranee wondered.
'Who knows, maybe he is a spectator,' Hay Lin suggested.
'If only Irma could see us now,' Cornelia quipped.
'Cornelia, this is no time to be sarcastic,' Matt protested.
'Hey doll, try giving me a rock,' Napolean asked as Cornelia gave him a boulder. He then threw it at the block pathway, creating a clearing.
'Why did you do that for?!' Caleb asked loudly.
'Me and Khor are going to see this majesty,' Napolean quipped before he, Matt and Mr Huggles went towards the Medimn base.
'Should we follow them?' Taranee asked.
'Later, but right now, close the pathway Corny,' Will commanded.
'Sure, and don't call me that,' Cornelia said. She then raised a boulder, big enough to block the pathway again.
'Elyon, can you handle here while we help the Regents?' Will asked.
'We can handle it, besides, I'm the queen of Meridian,' Elyon joked. Will and the rest of the guardians then went to join the Regents to fight the king as they needed to end the battle.
'I wonder what would happen when we meet this king?' Hay Lin stated.
'What do you mean?' Will asked.
'I mean, will he be as powerful as Phobos? Or as powerful as Nerissa,' Hay Lin suggested. Will then stopped, along with the others, as she thought about it.
'Good question, I seriously have no idea about his power,' Will said.
'We will worry about that later. But right, we need to stop them from attacking Meridian,' Cornelia said.
'Lets go,' Will sad before they resumed their flight towards Medimn base. Along the way, they noticed a destroyed base. Will figured it could be Meridian's second base.
'Corny, you go and check on this base while the rest of us continue towards the base. Once you finish off, hurry and join us,' Will said as Cornelia nodded. She then flew towards the destroyed base, checking for any Medimn or Meridian army while the others continued their flight.
Meantime, Matt and the other two Regents were on their way to the base while taking out any of the patrol. 'Something tells me that we are getting close,' Napolean stated. As no sooner when he said that, a bolt was shot, almost hitting him.
'No kidding,' Matt quipped. They stopped to take a look around for whoever responsible for that surprised attack.
'I can't believe my enemies could have made this far. And I couldn't believe that I have to do everything myself,' a voice said.
Matt then took noticed of the figure, hiding behind one of the rocks. He shot a green beam at the rock, but the figure managed to escape it in time. When the figure stood out of the shadow, Matt could notice his face. 'Well, it seems that their king has come out to play,' Matt quipped.
'It will be a pleasure destroying you three brats,' the king said before he shoots another beam at them, barely hiting Matt.
'I always wanted to know your name,' Matt said before shooting a beam from his eyes.
'You will never know about my name,' the king replied sourly as he counter attack.
'Well then, I guess we have to knock you out until you tell us what's your name,' Napolean said before he crack his knuckles.
'This will be fun,' the king said before he and the Regents went to battle each other out.
Meanwhile, in Medimn, Irma was relief as the fold had stop opening. She was now getting some rest while making sure the fold wasn't opened anymore. 'I hope they managed to get to him,' Irma whispered as she was catching her breath.
She then looked around, making sure that the coast was clear before getting up. She then headed back to the palace, hoping that nobody found out that she was outside.
Back in Meridian, Mr Huggles and Napolean were trying to dodge every attack by the king while Matt shoots bolts at him. But the king managed to dodge every attack of his before counter attacking him. 'You can't defeat me. I'm the king of Medimn!' he yelled as he shoots another bolt at Matt. But Matt was blown out of the way, literally before realising that the girls had arrived.
'Haven't you heard of loyalty?' Will asked as she crossed her arms.
'The guardians. It seems you are short one,' the king said.
'Oh, you don't have to worry about that, she will be here later,' Will quipped.
'And it seems that you are also missing another guardian, the water guardian in fact,' the king stated, after he notice that there were only four guardians instead five, when he heard about it in the past.
'Does it really matter about it?' Taranee asked while her hands were covered in fire.
'It will be fun to destroy the Guardians of the Veil, before I find out where the water guardian is,' the king stated.
'We have defeated people stronger than you,' Will stated.
'And you aren't any difference from them,' a voice said. The girls spun around to notice that it was Elyon and Cornelia.
'Elyon? What are you doing here?' Will asked.
'Yeah, I thought you said that you can handle those army of Medimn,' Taranee said.
'What army of Medimn?' Elyon asked innocently.
'Let me guess, you and the army managed to defeat them,' Hay Lin said cheerfully.
'Now, it's five against one,' Will said.
'Make that eight against one, Will,' Matt quipped as they all surrounded the king.
'The queen of Meridian, how convincing,' the king said sourly.
'It won't be as much convincing after we defeated you,' Elyon said.
'If Irma's here, I think she would say...' Cornelia said before she was interrupted.
'...enough talking, lets fight,' Hay Lin interrupted.
'Yeah, that's what she would say,' Cornelia said.
'Taranee, Hay Lin, combine magic,' Will stated. They both nodded before they did as they were told. The king just grinned before Taranee and Hay Lin attack at the same time, mixing both fire and air, creating a fire vortex. It hit the king right on target.
But after the dust had settled, the guardians, Regents and Elyon were shocked. The king was still standing, without even a scratch on him. 'I thought you guardians were strong, but I think I was mistold,' the king said before he counter attack. Cornelia raised a wall of dirt before she flew downwards, dodging the attack. She then hit the ground with her palm before the wall of dirt headed towards the king.
The king just shoots another bolt at the dirt before dispersing it. Taranee then shoots fireballs at him, but the fireballs just bounce off of him. Will then shoots lightning bolts at him, but the king managed to dodge all of it. Hay Lin created a tornado around the king, but she was too shocked after noticing that the king just jumped out of the tornado without any problems. Matt then shoots a bolt at him, but instead of hitting the king, it hit Taranee's back. 'Sorry Taranee,' Matt apologise after the king counter attack him.
'Matt!' Will cried out after Matt was hit at his arm by the attack. Will then flew towards him while Cornelia and Elyon distracted the king.
'Matt, are you alright?' Will asked as she slowly touch the wound on Matt's arm.
'Yeah, just a little sore, but fine,' Matt stated before he and Will took flight.
'If only Irma's here, than this would be easier,' Will thought.
'Yeah, but we need to try to prevent the king from knowing about it,' Taranee said, after she eavesdropped on Will's thought.
'Man, would you stop that,' Will complained.
'Hey, can we defeat this king first?!' Cornelia interrupted their telepathy conversation.
'Oh, right,' they both said before they entered the battle.
Meantime, Zarla and Irma were now outside of the cave. 'We need a perfect place to follow up my plan,'Irma said as she carried Zarla.
'How bout the palace,' Zarla suggested.
'It won't do, besides, they would figure out about the trap that I would lay for them,' Irma stated.
'Then, where should we plan our trap?' Zarla asked.
'I know a place that is the best,' Irma said with a grinned as she noticed a dark cave at her right. It was a perfect place for them to hide while they plan their trap before striking.
Sorry for the late updates. And this chapter is quite short, because I actually short on typing here for a while thanks to the exam. But with the exam already started, I needed time to study and to surf the net to research about history. Anyway, please leave some reviews here, thanks. Oh, and by the way, please visit my new forum website in my profile, thanks.
