Edited: 11/15~So I decided to combine Chapter 2 and part of Chapter 3 and this is the result~Also adding and fixed some thing~


*NEXT DAY*

"It's nice of you two to show up," Miss. Lin crossed her arms as Khloe and Ingrid walked into class minutes after the bell rang.

"We're not even that late," Khloe pouted as she placed her hand on her hip. "I bet that girl with the dreads won't even show up."

"That's where you are wrong, Miss. Haven," Miss. Lin pointed to the far back corner. There sat the girl with the dreads, CJ, at a table by herself, staring out the window with her earbuds in. "She was on time today."

"Yeah, for the first time in two weeks," Ingrid retorted. She moved to her seat in the second row of art tables when the class chuckled.

Miss. Lin pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. Why'd I become a teacher? "Take your seat, Miss. Haven." As Khloe took her seat next to Hannah, Miss. Lin continued. "Due to the Homecoming Pep Rally starting in a couple minutes I will not make you start the new project."

The class cheered right as the principal's voice came over the loud speaker telling the teachers and students to make their way down to the gym. Miss. Lin watched as each of the five new guardians walked out of her room. She knew it was going to be hard telling them about... well everything but it had to be done. It had to be done for the safety and the lives of the Infinite Dimensions.

Once the class had left Hay-Lin went to her purse and pulled out the Heart of Kandracar, which was now glowing with power. She then made an image appear, something Will taught her to do. The image showed her Wes, Ingrid, CJ, Khloe and Dawn standing, in full guardian form, about to lead the charge into battle. Behind stood Meridian soldiers and a new rebellion that had been formed. Together they will face a far greater evil then Phobos or Nerissa. An evil that will do anything to get what they want.

At the Pep rally Wes had fallen asleep on Dawn's shoulder but Dawn didn't mind so she just let Wes sleep as she worked on her homework instead on watching the Rally.

She stood on a hill top, watching the small village go about their daily routines. But something wasn't right. In a blinking second, the village was set aflame by the dark unknown source circling the flames from above. She could hear the screams and cries for help from the village people below. She wanted to help but her limbs would not obey her. She tried to reach out but it felt like she kept getting pulled back. It was impossible to help. Every ounce of her body was crying out, trying to move but the force was stronger than she was.

Then suddenly, she physically felt someone grab her right hand; then another, soon after, took a hold of her left. She didn't need to look at the people next to her; for she could feel the power that bound them together. She stood with determination and bravery as she and the ones beside her faced the dark shadow looming in front of them, together.

Wes jolted awake at the sound the drum line's bass drums. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and the headache that was forming as she recalled the strange dream.

"Hey," Dawn placed a hand on Wes' shoulder. "Are you okay?"

Wes shook her head, yes. "Just had a weird dream."

"About what?"

"I was... or what I thought was me, was standing on a hill watching a village burn and when I tried to help, I couldn't. It was like my feet were nailed to the ground," Wes looked at her best friend, who was listening, intently. "Then someone grabbed my hand and I felt like I was able to do anything as long as they were by my side."

"Woah, that is weird," Dawn pulled Wes into a hug, knowing she needed it.

"But that's not even the weird part," she said as she hugged Dawn back. "The weird part is that this isn't the first time I had a dream like this."

Dawn packed up her things. "Let's go somewhere less noisy and talk." She pulled Wes up and walked past the teachers, telling them that Wes wasn't feeling to good and needed to go to the nurse. They believed the teenagers, since Wes was a shade paler. However, instead of heading to the nurse's, they went to the bathroom. They made sure no one was in the bathroom when Dawn locked the door. When she turned back around Wes was sitting, with her back against the wall.

"You wanna tell me about your other dream?" Dawn asked, in a soothing voice, while she sat down next to Wes.

Wes nodded her head as she began to tell Dawn about her dream she had this morning, unaware of the invisible presence in the bathroom that followed them. She told Dawn about the dreams all having the same message. Unite the Guardians. She told her about how there were always five, including herself, figures protecting unknown worlds, using abilities only seen in movies or books. She told her about how in some dreams they would receive help from other worlds' military or rebellion. "And to top it all off... it all feels real."

"That's because it is real." The unknown, but familiar, voice made the girls scream, hugging each other for comfort. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Moments later their art teacher, Miss. Lin magically appeared in front of them. "But I guess just showing up like this would scare you." Miss. Lin laughed as she fiddled with her fingers. "Everything you said and maybe even dreamed, is real. I would know, I was in the same position as you are now when I was 13. Well, not literally but you get what I mean." She looked down at her frighten students still huddled together on the floor. Kneeling she said, "I know this is a lot to take in but there is more you need to see." She held out her hand, hoping they would trust her.

Hesitant at first, Wes took her teacher's hand, wanting to know more about her dreams. "I want to know more."

Miss. Lin helped her up then extended her other hand to Dawn. "This is going to be far more exciting than a pep rally." The assuring smile Wes gave her was all Dawn needed, to know everything would be okay. Miss. Lin smiled as Dawn took her hand and stood.

Hay-Lin pulled the Heart of Kandracar off her neck and held in out in front of her. With some concentration she was able to open a portal. She took a glance at her students and laughed at their awe-stricken expressions. "This is only the beginning." Hay-Lin said as she stepped through the portal, soon followed by Wes and then Dawn.

*MERIDIAN*

Hay-Lin waited for Wes and Dawn to step through the portal. As they did she caught them so they wouldn't fall flat on their faces. She knew the first time through a portal was a little weird. "Welcome to Meridian!" Hay-Lin exclaimed with her arms out wide as the two girls gathered themselves.

Wes just stared with wide eyes at the castle standing before them. She couldn't believe it was true. Everything she dreamed of was real and right in front of her. She started to get all giddy and giggled as she began to skip up to the front gates to one of the guards. She then began to ask the guard a million questions a second but the guard wasn't having it. He pushed Wes aside with his Halberd's pole. She huffed, offended but tried again, ending with the same results.

As for Dawn, she was still working on a solution on how the portal could of possibly have been created. Every scientific solution was running through her head but none seemed to fit for this kind of situation. So, she thought she must have been dreaming. "I am dreaming," She said as she pinched her arm. However, the pain was real and she didn't wake back at school. "Not a dream."

"So not a dream," Hay-Lin giggled. She remembered always seeing that expression on Taranee's face when something couldn't be explained by science. "C'mon let's go meet Elyon."

"Who's Elyon?" Dawn asked as Hay-Lin led her towards the gates, where Wes was still arguing with a guard.

"The Queen."

"Oh the...wait! What?"

Once again Hay-Lin just laughed.

"Hay-Lin!" A sweet voice came once they entered the throne room.

"Elyon!"

Dawn lean over to Wes to whisper, "Aren't you supposed to bow to royalty?"

"You are, yes." Elyon walked up to the girls with her hands clasped in front of her. "But since you two are the new Guardians, I'll let it slide."

Dawn and Wes' eyes widen at the seriousness in her voice.

"Aw look at their faces," Hay-Lin laughed. "They look terrified."

Elyon and Hay-Lin grabbed onto each other as they burst into laughter, while Wes and Dawn stared at them in utter confusion. Elyon apologized while catching her breath. The younger girls accepted the apology.

Then Hay-Lin and Elyon began to explain what a Guardian is and the great responsibility that comes with, to them. With every word that exited their mouths Dawn and Wes were in complete shock. Infinite Dimensions. Magical threats. The control over an element. And the ability to fly. It all was a lot to handle, let alone believe.

"Alone you are only so strong but together the possibilities are unlimited," Hay-Lin finished off her sentence by throwing her arms up, making Elyon smile.

"How do you know that we're the right ones?" Dawn asked.

"Because I've been watching the two of you and the others," Hay-Lin placed a hand on each of their shoulders. "I noticed things. Like how whenever you are near water, Dawn, it bends or freezes. You may not have noticed yet but..."

"I have," Dawn looked down at her feet, fiddling her fingers. "Yesterday before I picked Wes up, I was in the middle of my morning routine when every drop of water rose up and floated in midair. It stopped when my dad knocked on the bathroom door."

"This may sound strange but that's normal," Hay-Lin stated. "What about you, Wes? Have you noticed anything like that?"

Wes shook her head, no. "What element am I?"

"Quintessence. It is the..."

"The pure and concentrated essence of a substance." Wes finished. "Some believed it to be the fifth element."

"It is the fifth element and you have control over it. However, unlike the others yours will take time to form." Hay-Lin pulled the Heart off her neck, handing it over to Wes. "This is the Heart of Kandracar. It is the source of the Guardian's power and you are the Keeper of the Heart, Wes. At your command it will guardian all five of you up if you are in range of each other."

"Five? There's more of us?" Dawn asked examining the Heart. "Also, why is Wes the only one who can 'guardian us up'? What happens if one of the threats, you mentioned before, is trying to kill us and Wes isn't there to 'guardian us up'?"

Wes gave her best friend a 'what the hell' look, at the many questions she asked. Dawn just shrugged as Elyon and Hay-Lin exchanged looks.

"Yes, there are three more Guardians," Elyon said. "And like Hay-Lin said earlier, Wes is the Keeper of the Heart, therefore only she has the ability to change you into Guardians." Before Wes or Dawn could say anything, she continued. "All generations of Guardians have a Keeper of the Heart who is also the leader of the Guardians. Also, you should have no reason to fight alone, all five Guardians are stronger together."

Hay-Lin nodded in agreement.

"How do we ... guardian up?" Wes asked.

"All you have to say is 'Guardians unite' and you will be transformed."

"So, if I say Guardians unite we..." Wes was cut off by the instant glow that came from her body. A squeal was heard from Dawn as she and Wes were lifted from the ground. Once the glowing cease and they were put back on their feet, Wes and Tara were now transformed into their full Guardian forms.

"It's good to see those colors again," Hay-Lin said, smiling from ear to ear, and Elyon agreeing.


Hope you liked the result!
