Chapter 19: Land and water
"Alright team, you know what to do" said James.
Soon light shone around the area and it showed James piloting his aircraft. Matt was sitting directly behind him and he was getting ready to fire the guns.
"All battle systems ready!" said Matt.
"Then lets charge in, ladies........game on" said James.
From out of the storm came the fairies and they flew in to deal a crippling blow to the enemy. Right now, the group was in Andros. They had received an urgent call from king Teredor, right now both the land and underwater kingdoms were under siege. King Teredor was getting worried because he hadn't heard from king Neptune ever since this siege began.
"First Linphea and now this. We're never going to catch a break at this rate" said Matt.
"I know but the enemy is playing smart, they've chosen these two worlds with precision. They know that Linphea is where our main food source comes from and Andros is where we get our clean drinking water from. Take those two down and we'll have a very big problem on our hands" said James.
"We won't be at our full fighting strength though" said Matt.
"Yeah, we've left half of our fairy friends in Linphea to keep it safe. Which means, we'll have to make due with what he have right now" said James.
He then heard knocking...coming from outside and James could see Liliana smirking at him.
"So why don't we talk less about what had happened previously and let's talk about what we're going to do now?" asked Liliana.
"Good call, alright team listen up. We'll divide into two forces, the land team and the underwater team. The land team will be led by both me and Matt. Our main focus is here.....is the throne room of the castle. We drive them off and assist the injured and the ones suffering. Liliana, Axel and Mistelia, you three will also be leading the charge" said James as he brought out a hologram of the place.
"Understood" said the three girls over their ear pieces.
"Meanwhile the underwater team will be led by Daphne as her sirenix powers will provide us with an edge in this uncharted territory. The fairies under her command, assume an aquatic barrier that will allow you to fight underwater. Your objective is to find king Neptune, make sure he's alright and assist him in any way you can. Also try and help the folks underwater if they require it. Deniz, Silema and Tine will lead the assault as well" said James.
"Alright" said the girls.
"If that's all, let us proceed...and good luck" said James as he made the aircraft go faster.
As soon as the fairies saw that, they also increased their speed and soon caught up with him. Upon seeing the castle, they immediately divided their forces. Half of them went underwater while the others headed straight for the castle.
"Its up to you Matt!" said James.
"Leave it to me!" said Matt as he jumped out of the aircraft.
All of the creatures saw a shadow above them and they looked up.....to face their doom. Just before Matt contact with the ground, he swung his sword up and brought it down to the ground with force. The impact had stunned all of the creatures, some were even thrown three feet away.
As the fairies started blasting the creatures into oblivion, two of them flew towards James the moment he landed and came out of his aircraft. They were Anyana and Annie, Anyana commanded ice while Annie commanded fire. They continued to observe Matt driving the monsters back while beating them into submission.
"My goodness, what did you do to that guy? On second thought, I don't think I want to know...." said the first fairy with a sweat drop on the side of her head.
"I think you may have just created a monster....." said the second fairy with a sweat drop on the side of her head as well.
"Maybe.........I did go a little overboard.....but look at him now. He's capable of backing his own words now, he can talk big and have the moves to back it up. Anyways, we better get in there ourselves. Come on Anyana, Annie" said James as he ran towards the castle.
James soon saw Matt beating another monster into submission using just his fists, James could see Matt's sword embedded in the back of a monster at the far side of the battlefield. He must have thrown the sword in order to do that, what other explanation was there?
"Ok Matt, the forces outside are under your command. I'm going in with these two by my side" said James as he ran into the castle.
"Roger that, you're going to miss a very wild party though!" said Matt as he socked a monster away without even turning to face it.
"You've definitely created a monster" said the two girls.
James could only shake his head as he continued slashing every monster within his sights, of course he was the type to share....which was why he threw some of the monsters towards the girls. It was only fair, James knew he shouldn't be the only one who should get to do all the hard work.
It wasn't long until the group had spotted the king and queen.
"Your majesties, hang in there!" said James as he kicked a monster into several others.
It wasn't long until James jumped into the air and brought his arms together. As James came back down, everyone could see a massive fireball that was coming down at a fast speed. It almost looked like a meteorite that had penetrated the atmosphere and the force of the impact was just as reminiscent to the actual thing itself.
With all of the enemies eliminated, James and the two fairies escorted the king and queen outside.
"Thank you all" said Teredor.
"No problem your majesty, its...." said James.
Just then, a monster's body got flung near where James was standing and everybody could see Matt running towards them.
"Sorry, I'm working on my aim! But on the bright side, this area is now clear!" shouted Matt.
All of the fairies following behind him looked pretty disturbed, some were even traumatized.
"Ok that's it, what kind of training did you give this guy James?" asked Annie.
"I just ran him through the basics of sword fighting, I also taught him some evasive maneuvers along with hand to hand combat. Oh I think I know what's scaring the fairies, he's got impressive strength and what makes it even more impressive is the fact he can't use magic to empower it" said James.
"No, that's definitely not it" thought the two fairies as they stood next to James.
Suddenly there was a big splash from the nearby ocean and everybody could see Daphne and the fairies flying out with a huge kraken chasing after them. They soon submerged and the waves were powerful.
"What the.............Daphne what is happening?" asked James through his earpiece.
"I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that we've rescued the king and queen from the underwater monsters, they were really in a pitch. The bad news however..........is that this creature came up from behind and ate them. Now we're trying to.................open fire at its tentacles! Sorry James, we're trying to defeat this beast and then cut them free" said Daphne.
"Bring it to me" said James as he walked towards the edge of the ocean.
"Wait, can you even breathe underwater?" asked Matt.
"No but I can form a barrier, the same one that allows the enchantix fairies to breathe underwater. Amazing isn't it? That's the wonder of someone who possesses the sirenix power, they never need such things" said James as he formed a barrier around himself.
With that, James dove underwater to assist Daphne and the others. Just then, a massive beast broke through trees and it roared loudly just as it saw the fairies and everyone else standing next to them.
"Oh boy, if the kraken is the beast of the sea.....well we've just encountered the land boss" said Matt.
The beast was immediately charging towards the closest target who happened to be Matt, glaring at the beast.....Matt charged in and held the massive creature in place. He was holding it by the edges of its mouth as the beast had opened it to try and bite him. The fairies were amazed but they knew Matt couldn't hold on forever, the beast was slowly pushing him back and its mouth was slowly closing...it was near enough to bite Matt's head off.
"I need some help here, quickly fire and ice combo!" shouted Matt as he threw the beast behind him.
The moment the fairies heard that, they became serious. Anyana and Annie held hands, while that was happening the other fairies opened fire on the beast.
With the creature distracted, the two fairies soon separated a short distance from each other and held out their hands. In their hands were orbs of magic, composed of the elements they commanded.
"Alright now's your chance, everybody back away!" yelled Matt.
Once the two fairies heard Matt's order, they flew into the air. Bringing their arms back, they soon trusted them forwards and unleashed their magic.
The fire and ice combo was certainly powerful, it not only pushed the beast back several feet away.....it was soon engulfed in the attack and all traces of it was soon gone. The only thing left to show that the beast had existed was the trail it left behind when it got struck by the attack.
Matt whistled when he saw the devastation that the attack had caused, it certainly reminded him of what guardian fairies were capable of when provoked.
At that moment, a big splash was heard and the kraken soon landed in front of everyone. Then from out of the water came James, along with the underwater team. For good measure, James quickly decapitated the kraken with his red sword. He then sliced open the body of the creature to free the king and queen and they were quickly gasping for air.
A short while later, king Neptune and queen Ligea were briefed in on what had happened. During the conversation, Daphne returned the sword to king Neptune as he had dropped it during the fight.
"Thank you prince James, heard you really gave the kraken a beating. Although the one you just fought was only a baby" laughed Neptune.
"That's a baby?! Anyways..........no need to thank me king Neptune, also don't forget to thank my team. This wasn't just my mission alone" said James.
"True, I don't think this will be the only time we'll need your help. We'll hold our own for now but I am grateful and thankful to know that we have allies in people like you and your friends" said Neptune.
Soon everyone was packing up and getting ready to leave Andros. Just then, James felt a hand rubbing his neck and he relaxed on instinct.
"I'm pretty sure you're tired from fighting that kraken, let me heal your tired body" said Axel.
"Hey that's cheating, it feels this nice thanks to your gloves. I never had such things when I did this to your neck" said James.
"Oh, would you like me to remove them for you?" asked Axel.
"Nah, I was right......this does make a pretty good massage. Thanks Axel" said James.
This actually gave James an idea, he was soon inspired to give his entire team a massage as a reward for all their hard work. He accomplished this by creating multiple hands using his magic and everyone liked it. Soon it was time to leave.
Once James and Matt got on board the aircraft, they took off. The fairies were following closely behind them.
"I never thought I'd live to see the day when fairies and warriors would finally cooperate with each other" said Neptune.
"When our time has passed, we will rest peacefully knowing that the next generation shall indeed make the future a bright one. Come now brother, we have plenty to do. Our kingdoms await us" said Teredor.
Soon both the land and underwater kingdoms had their own discussions and rebuilding processes. While that was happening, up in the sky...James got ready to make the jump to lightspeed but he had to do something first.
"Alright, stay together. I'm going to activate the force field now" said James as he pushed a few buttons and pulled a few levers.
Soon the aircraft emitted a blue translucent field that surrounded all of the fairies and some of them were even sitting on it the moment the field hardened and took on a solid color.
"A great piece of tech I invented, this way I can bring the fairies with me through lightspeed and they won't have to worry about oxygen either since its being poured in through the inbuilt ventilation system. In addition their earpieces can project a live video and audio feed to them so that they can see what is happening all around them outside of the force field" said James.
"I'm really impressed! You're just as smart as the people of Zenith and they live with technology. You could even say that its in their DNA" said Matt.
"No, I'm not as smart as those guys. They are way smarter than me and its the truth. The modifications I've made to my aircraft pales in comparison to what they could do with it if I were to hand it over to them. Anyways, attention all passengers........we're getting ready to make the jump to Linphea to pick the rest of our friends up. Please fasten your seatbelts and prepare for departure" said James as he spoke through the microphone.
The fairies within the force field all giggled when they heard that, some were still floating in the air while some chose to sit down and rest themselves.
James soon typed in Linphea's coordinates and he soon made the jump to lightspeed. Meanwhile within the force field, Daphne had gathered the other fairies around her so that she could speak to them in private.
"Girls, tomorrow is James's birthday. I want to give him the best birthday party he could possibly imagine. Once we pick our friends up from Linphea, we'll pass the word onto them as well. Don't tell James about it, I'll tell Matt about it myself later. Now, here's what we're going to do......" said Daphne.
She began whispering her plan to her fellow fairies and they nodded and smiled.
