Chapter 1
The Darkness approaches


The Darkness has fallen! The angel of darkness will appear! Beware young one for your light shall save the world. Andy suddenly awoke from his dream and looked around the room. “Was that a dream, that voice it seemed to real.” Andy said. Standing up from his bed he looked toward the clock. “Oh crap its 7:30 I’m going to be late for school! With that he rushed out of his room to prepare for the new school day. Running down the stairs his little sister decided to play a trick and trip him on the stairs. He tripped over her foot and fell down to the bottom of the steps. “What was that for Brianna” Said Andy. “That’s what you get for stealing my piece of pizza last night Andy.” She said. Getting up from the floor Andy knew he was going to be late if he didn’t hurry so he rushed through his morning routine and left for school.
“I wonder who the angel of darkness is.” Andy mumbled as he was walking to school. “Yo Andy wait up!” said a voice out of nowhere. Andy was in a daze so he couldn’t hear him. “Andy stop!” He snapped out of his daze and looked behind him to see Lannie standing there. “Oh hi Lannie sorry I was in a daze.” he said. “Its ok Andy so were you thinking about that girl you have a crush on at school?” Lannie asked. Andy hesitated and said, “NO err not that this has nothing to do with a girl …I think.” “It probably was a dream I shouldn’t think to much about it.” Andy thought as they were walking to school. As the school was coming into view Andy forgot that he left his vacation project back on his desk and told Lannie he had to go get it.
Running as fast as he could back home he almost tripped 5 or 6 times over his own shoes but didn’t fall. He reached his house and ran upstairs to grab the project. He grabbed the bag and ran out the door again and towards school. “7:20 Oh no ill be late at this rate if I don’t pick up the pace school starts in 10min.” Andy said panting as he ran. Andy kept running to school as fast as he could taking every possible shortcut that was to take. The clock struck 7:30 and he was nearly at school and since teachers are late most of the times he knew he had a good 3-4 minutes to make it before he gets a late pass. He ran closer and closer to the school when a voice shot out of nowhere “ The darkness is upon us be haste young one.” Andy stopped in his tracks and looked around puzzled. “That voice where did it come from?” He stood frozen for a minute or 2 and remembered that school is starting so he busted through the front door up to the classroom. He threw open the door and said “I MADE IT!” Everyone looked at him with a weird look and the teacher came up from behind and said “ you look like you just ran a marathon you ok?” Andy said “I’m fine nothing like a morning run.” He walked over to his seat and wished that summer vacation didn’t end but that’s life.
During math class Lannie saw that Andy was still in his daze that he saw him in before and asked what’s wrong. Andy was still in a daze so he blocked out Lannie’s question completely. Lannie knew something was up and decided to find out what it was at lunch time. 1st and 2nd period went by fast for Andy since his daydreaming got the better of him. He looked up from his daze and looked over to Lannie who was giving him a weird look and asked “ whats wrong Lannie?” Lannie just stared down at his notebook and was puzzled. Andy looked at his notebook to see a large word scratched into it with a red pen. That word what does it mean Lannie asked. Andy just stared blank minded at it and thought “What is this word? I never heard of it in my life and yet I engraved it into my notebook.” Andy was scared now he couldn’t think straight something is happening and he doesn’t know what it is.

Andy looked around the room and noticed everything was still the same and he looked back down at the notebook. Covered in a cold sweat he put his head down onto the book and tried to think. “Why me why is this happening to me?” Lannie is just confused to as he looked at Andy falling apart right in front of him. Andy pulled himself together and sat up in his chair. The bell ring and they walked to 4th period. As they were walking Lannie asked Andy whats going on and he didn’t reply he was still in a daze from the notebook. They walked into the computer lab and sat at there seats and began to work. Andy put his notebook to the side of the computer snapped out of the daze and was back to normal. “Are you feeling better Andy? asked Lannie. Andy looked up and said “yeah I’m fine don’t worry its ok.” Andy wished that it was that simple but wasn’t. 20minutes into computer class Andy finished his work and decided to search something on the internet. He looked up the name The Angel of darkness. He couldn’t find anything listed on this name which puzzled him. Why did I think of this before then if I have never heard of it. He stares into space for 5minutes trying to put the pieces in there place but to no avail. Computer class ended rather quickly and Andy headed to the lunchroom with Lannie still behind trying to see whats wrong.
Lannie and Andy sat down for lunch and during this time Lannie shot out like 1,000 questions at Andy about what he was seeing through the last 4 periods. Andy didn’t answer any of the questions he was just staring into space. Lunch lasts about an hour so Lannie dragged Andy outside for recess. While walking to the bench Andy tripped on something and fell into the grass. “Are you alright?” asked Lannie. Andy looked up and said, “yeah I’m fine I just tripped on something.” Lannie was getting mad so he just pulled Andy to his feet and slapped him hard across the face so hard you could hear the slap. Andy was stunned and busted out “ WHAT DID YOU SLAP ME FOR!” Lannie holding his hand said “I had to snap you out of your little trance Andy you are creeping me out.” Andy felt his face where he had been slapped and it stung to the touch. Andy was snapped out of the daze now and Lannie was giggling at the slap mark. Andy was mad now and he punched Lannie in the stomach and made him fall backwards. Andy stood over Lannie like he was about to kick him in the face but something stopped him. “Heed the words you have heard from your dream young one” Andy was stunned there standing as if his soul was sucked out of him. Lannie knew something was up and had to find out how to snap him out of this trance.
The bell rang for the end of recess and they both went to there next class which was history. In history class Andy was staring at this notebook that has the red word engraved in it all through class. “This word means something but what” thought Andy. He decided to figure out what this word is so he pulled out a dictionary and started flipping through it. “ Lyoko" this word isn’t in the dictionary at all. What does it mean and why is it haunting me?” Lannie looks at Andy and he notices the notebook page has a drop of red ink dripping onto the floor. “That ink was engraved hours ago how can it be dripping? This makes no sense.” Lannie thought, “Something weird is going on and I must find out what.”

Lannie tapped Andy and he asked for the notebook. The teacher caught eye of this and took the notebook away. Lannie was squirming in his chair “whats with that ink was it really just wet or is it something else.” The teacher threw the book on the desk and the front cover opened revealing the word Lyoko carved in the book but on the bottom was something else. “Andy and Lannie come here!” The teacher insisted. Andy and Lannie walked up to the teacher saw the book and froze. You Will Die! In big red letters was written on the inside cover of the notebook. “You both to the principle now and show him this book!” he screamed. While walking to the principles office the book was beginning to drip again. Andy opened the book and now the word Darkness appeared. Andy dropped the book and fell to the floor. “T..T….This book is cursed!” Andy said wrapped in fear. He tried to find his balance and stand up. Lannie picked up the book and looked at it. “Andy are you sure you didn’t write this while in your trance?” Lannie asked. “Lannie I know my own handwriting and this is definitely not mine.” Andy looked around the hall for something but all he saw was Lannie and the book. “Stand up Andy this is useless.” Said Lannie. Andy got to his feet and walked toward the principle but the second they turned the corner a dark shadow was being cast on the wall from nowhere. “Lannie please tell me you see that.” said Andy. “yes I do Andy what is it?” asked Lannie. The shadow came off the wall and flew at Andy hitting him against the wall knocking him out.
“Darkness approaches you Andy hurry and run while you still can” said a strange voice. “You must find the one named A…….” Andy awoke from his nightmare in his bed. “what happened where am I?” Your at home Andy.” said Lannie. Andy looked around and noticed this indeed is his room. The darkness is approaching Lannie we must run now something is going to happen and I fear the worst!” Lannie said, “ Andy r you ok? Did you hit your head? We all saw that shadow but it could have been just a strong wind or something we don’t know what it was.” Andy sat back against the wall and thought what had happened. Andy walked to school alone because Lannie forgot his backpack at his house so he ran back to get it. Andy looked up at the clouds while he was walking to school trying to figure out whats going on with these weird dreams. The sky suddenly turned black and Andy froze again. He looked up and noticed the black clouds but no thunder or lightning. He ran as fast as possible towards school before something bad happens.
“The darkness is here!” screamed Andy as he ran toward the schools front doors. He ran into the school building and quickly looked for Lannie. The rain started to fall hard outside and it battered the roof with tons of force. “Lannie there you are! Something is happening it’s those dreams this is what I was dreaming!” Andy screamed. “Andy its just rain there is nothing to be afraid of.” Thunder rolls making loud noises thought the building spooking everyone. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” a scream out of nowhere. “WHAT IS THAT!” “Lannie whats going on?” asked Andy. “I’m not sure Andy but we have to see lets go.” They both ran down the stairs to the first floor and saw a giant shadow standing in the doorway. “W….W….What is that thing?” Lannie said shaking. Andy looked at the creature and saw it was indeed a real shadow. The shadow shot out a black ball and struck Lannie into the wall and knocked him out. Andy looked around there was no way out he was trapped. “Is this it am I going to die here.” Andy whispered to himself. He looked at the shadow who was preparing another attack. “This cannot be happening it just can’t be happening.” The dark shadow unleashed a giant ball of black fire towards Andy. Tears fell down Andy’s cheek and he stepped in front of Lannie and in front of that dark ball.

“YOU WILL NOT WIN!” Andy screamed. The ball was almost upon Andy when a word flashed through his head but he saw it. “ ECLIPSE!” Andy screamed this word out loud and out of nowhere something blocked the giant ball of black fire. When Andy looked back he saw a sword glowing in the light that had a black blade and a black gem in the center. Andy picked up the sword and a memory rushed into him.
“8.….Star…..Slash!” a voice cried out. Andy heard the cry and ran at the shadow with the sword. The blade turned from black to a variety of colors. “8 STAR SLASH!” The words made the sword glow and Andy screamed out words he never knew. “Now I summon your strength Eevee the guardian of the elements, Flareon guardian of the fire, Vaporeon guardian of the water, Jolteon guardian of the lightning, Espeon guardian of the Light, umbreon guardian of the dark, Leafeon guardian of the grass, and Glaceon guardian of the ice! LEND ME YOUR POWER! The sword glowed with the powers of them and slashed the demon 8 times causing it to explode and disappear. Andy looked around at the smashed up walls and the damaged windows and doors and turned back towards Lannie. “What just happened I thought I was a goner for sure just now.” Everyone started to surround Andy and Lannie glaring at the bright colorful sword in his hands. Andy had no time to figure things out Lannie was hurt and it was his fault so he rushed Lannie to the nurses office. “Is he going to be alright?” asked Andy. “He will be just fine.” said the nurse as she was bandaging his wounds up. “You should go home and get some rest Andy, Lannie wont be getting up for some time now.” Andy looked at the wall and back at the table where the nurse was bandaging Lannie. “Alright ill head back now.” said Andy as he was heading toward the door. As Andy was walking home he couldn’t get that battle off his mind. The weird sword, that black demon, the odd names all made him uneasy. As Andy was walking he looked around and everyone around was giving him a strange look. “This sword makes people stare but I must find out where it came from.” thought Andy has he continued walking home.
When Andy reached his house he put his backpack down and brought the sword to his room and shut the door behind him. He placed the sword gently on the desk as not to slice anything in half with its rather strange blade. “This sword is anything but ordinary but what makes it shine with these colors?” Andy remembered the names he called out back at the battle but they have no meaning whatsoever. “Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon, Leafeon, Eevee. These names must mean something but I don’t have any clue to what that meaning is.” Andy took the sword and went to his backyard with it and stood in the grass looking at an old tree that his dad was going to cut down later this week. “If this sword is as powerful as I think then it can slice this tree down no problem.” With that said Andy grabbed the handle on the sword and lifted it above his head. He looked and aimed for the tree with a precision shot look on his face and ran toward the tree. With one movement of his hand the sword came crashing onto the trunk of the tree and split it into two. The sight of the tree made Andy lose his balance and fall onto the ground. The sword was stuck inside the tree where the cut had ended. “This sword is dangerous and its powers are inhuman what exactly is this thing?” Andy thought. He pried the sword from the trunk of the tree and stabbed it into the grass in front of him. He sat down next to it and examined its features.
“So the element blade has been awoken I see.” A strange voice boomed out of nowhere and Andy tried to find

nowhere and Andy tried to find where the voice came from. “so you’re the human that can wield the blade of elements state your name now!” A creature clothed in a black overall with a symbol of a moon on his head and a black scythe in his hand hovered toward Andy. He stepped onto the grass and it immediately burned under his feet with black flames. “I will not ask again! State your name.” Said the demonic person standing before Andy. Andy quickly staggered to his feet and pointed the element blade towards the demonic figure. “My name is Andy and I suggest you leave now before you end up like that tree over there!” Andy said shaking as he stood. The demon looked at Andy with pity. “Tsk, Tsk such fragile humans and yet I have the urge to KILL YOU!” The demon flew at Andy with such speed there was no time for a counterattack. Andy gripped the sword to use it as a shield but to no help. The demon knocked the sword away and gripped Andy by the neck and held him up. “Pitiful little human don’t interfere with my plans and I wont have to kill you understand?” The demon threw Andy into the backyard door causing him to lose consciousness. “The element blade here of all places I shall end this pitiful excuse for a blade once and for all!” The demon summoned all his strength and pulled the 8 guardians of the elements from the sword and sealed them each in a different part of the land. The sword lost its glow and then transformed into a small sword-like key and fell to the floor. “With the guardians out of the way nothing will stop me now not even Aelita MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!” The demon disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 2
The Demon Awakens


“Wake up! Andy Wake up!” said a strange voice. Andy awoke from his long endured sleep and looked around. “where am I?” said Andy confused. “Thank god you’re ok you must of taken a beating to be thrown into a door like that.” Andy looked at the person to realize it was Lannie. “LANNIE your ok!” Andy screamed. “Yes Andy I am fine but I’m more worried about you can you move at all?” asked Lannie. Andy looked toward Lannie and stood up from the bed. “How long have I been out for Lannie?” asked Andy. “You were knocked out for about 2-3 days at most.” Andy gave Lannie a look that made chills run down Lannie’s spine. Andy thought to himself, “What happened to me? Last thing I remember was getting thrown into the backyard door by that strange demonic guy then everything after that is a blur.” Andy walked outside to the backyard where the fight had taken place. He saw the tree that he used his sword on and it had still been split down the middle. “WAIT WHERE IS IT!?” Andy screamed. “Where is what Andy?” asked Lannie. “Nothing Lannie excuse me for a second.” Lannie walked away into the house and Andy started searching for something around the backyard. “My sword where could it be? Did that demon take it? Or possibly destroy it? Or Or Owwwwww” Andy’s hand got cut on something shiny in the grass that had a weird shape to it. Andy picked up the glowing object and examined it. “This thing is a small version of the sword I used to cut that tree but this cant be it the sword I had was way bigger.”
“The swords power is lost. Its energy is depleted it has returned to its dormant state until the hero of the elements comes to reclaim possession of it and awaken it from its slumber.” a strange voice said from out of nowhere. Andy looked around to find where the voice was coming from but he didn’t see anyone around. “Show yourself!” he screamed. A large creature appeared before him and scared the life out of Andy. “I am the demon Nagasaki and you shall die!” The giant demon jumped up above Andy and tried to body slam him into the floor. Andy quickly dodged the attack and tried to think how he could fight without a weapon. “Your quick for a small person but no matter I will win this fight!” With that said he drew two rather large swords and ran towards Andy. “I cannot defeat this demon by myself but I have no other choice.” He dodged the demons swords by a hair and grabbed the sword pendant that was lying on the floor. “If this was once my sword then it might help me again this time if I try but how did I get it to work before? I must remember!” Andy thought how he made the sword appear back at school and he remembered the words. “Lend me your power Eclipse Sword!” But nothing happened. The demon threw his sword at Andy but the sword got sidetracked from the fallen tree trunk in the center of the yard. “Something’s wrong with the sword its not powering up!” Andy said to himself. “HAHAHAHA you puny little human that sword will not activate on your power because you don’t have the power to use it.” The demon remarked as he ran at Andy with the swords again. “This sword is my last hope but how can I get it to work if I don’t even know how it worked last time when I used it to defend Lannie.” Andy looked at the sword pin closely and tried to figure out the problem. The demon was closing in on him very quickly now and Andy is running out of options its either now or never to summon this sword or die trying.

Andy dodged the blades until he was cornered against the wall with nowhere to run. He looked down at the pin and then up at the demon that was about to slaughter him. “Its now or never I suppose.” Andy said to himself. He ran past and under the demons blades before it had time to react. “Its time you go back from where you came from you stupid demon!” Andy said with an attitude. The sword pin started to glow a little. “Whats this? The sword is reacting to this kids energy how is it possible!” the demon said surprised. The sword pin was now glowing with some energy revived in it. “This time I will be the victor!” Andy screamed. He ran toward the demon with tons of speed. “ITS OVER NAGASAKI! I SUMMON YOU ELEMENTAL SWORD!” Andy screamed as he ran toward the beast. The sword started glowing a lot more and transformed into the sword he used before. “8 Star Slash!” Andy screamed but the sword didn’t do anything. “What!? The sword it wont do that attack why?” Andy was confused now and looked up when he heard Nagasaki laughing. “Whats so funny demon!” Holding the sword to the demons face. “That sword lost the eight guardians that gave it the power you used before and now its no stronger then a piece of steel.”
Andy had no choice now he had to rely on his own powers to defeat Nagasaki. But what powers does Andy have that can possibly defeat a demon? The demon threw his swords to form a barrier around Andy preventing him from escaping the next attack. “One hit from any of his attacks and I’m done for.” Andy thought as he watched the demon prepare an attack. “You know this is not the way its going to end!” Andy held the sword ready for battle. The demon fired the attack which was a large dark beam at Andy. Quickly reacting Andy used the sword to deflect the beam back at the demon and knocked him into the wall at the end of the backyard. Andy ran towards the demon a tight grip on the sword and stabbed it in the head. The demon made a loud cry and fell to the floor. Andy pulled the sword out from the demons head and it returned to its former small sword pin like form. “What is this sword anyway its so strange but it seems I can control it now.” Andy said looking at the sword as he put it on a chain around his neck. The demon Nagasaki started to disappear and when it was completely gone it left a sort of gem shard behind. “This looks like the gem from the sword when I first saw it I didn’t know it had been shattered.” Andy put the gem shard back into the sword and it began to glow showing the sword has regained some of its power. It started to glow to much now causing Andy to lose his grip on it and dropped the sword onto the floor. A portal opened up in the floor and something jumped out of it. “What on earth is that thing?” Andy thought as he stared at the strange creature coming from the portal.
The creature walked up to Andy and looked at him straight in the eyes. “Hello Andy I have been waiting for you for some time now.” The strange creature said. Andy looked surprised as he looked at the creature that was sitting before him. “What is your name and what exactly are you?” he asked. “My name is Lily and I am the guardian of the elemental sword. In your world my appearance would show you that I am indeed a fox but I can do way more then an ordinary fox can.” Lily explained to Andy. The fox looked up at the sword and noticed the gem and the colors are gone. “What happened to the blade and the gem of the sword?” Andy looked at it and said, “The gem was shattered in a battle between me and a demonic person with a symbol on his head that looked like a moon and he had a black scythe. Ahh so the demon ToxicGause was the cause of the blade losing its power. I knew it he sealed away the eight guardians of the sword and broke the gem so nobody can use the sword to stop him but never mind that we must rescue the guardians and reform the gem immediately.

Andy looked at the fox with a weird face and said, “Why am I the one that has to do it I never seen this sword or these demons before why did you pick me?” The fox looked at the floor and said, “It wasn’t my doing to pick you it was the guardians. They thought you had the power to keep the sword safe but maybe they were wrong.” Hearing those words Andy stood up from the floor and looked Lily right in the eyes. “I will destroy this demon ToxicGause and rescue all of the guardians to prove to you fox that I am strong.” Andy walked inside and went up to his room. He put the sword necklace in his draw and looked out his window. Lily came in behind him and looked at him staring out the window. “You’re scared aren’t you young one.” “How can you tell?” asked Andy. Lily responded, “my powers aren’t fully awakened but I can still read you’re heart and I know that you are doubtful of this mission.” Andy and Lily talked for a long period of time about what was going to be happening over the next few weeks. “As long as I am the guardian of the elemental blade I will not leave your side Andy.” said Lily. The night fell and both of them wound up falling asleep.
The next day Andy awoke to find that he had fallen asleep on his desk chair. He reached for the clock on the desk that was beeping. “OH NO ITS 7:30!” screamed Andy. His scream caused Lily to wake up. “WHO WHAT WHERE WHEN!!!!” Lily looked around startled. Andy gave her a weird look and asked, “Whats wrong with you?” Lily’s face turned red “uhhh wow that was embarrassing.” Andy just looked at Lily with that same look and she looked pretty annoyed. “Don’t you have school Andy?” Lily asked with a smirk. Andy jumped, “Oh no! Your right I’m going to be late at this point if I don’t hurry up! Wait here Lily ill be right back.” Andy rushed out of his room and down the stairs to get ready for school.
“Bye everyone I’m going to school” Andy said as he ran out of his house at the speed of a racecar. Lily ran right beside him causing Andy to stop in his tracks. “Lily what on earth are you doing?” Lily stopped and said, “ One you must have the sword key with you at all times just in case and two I’m going with you to school there is no telling what you will find after the three demons that attacked you.” Andy took the key and started running again so he would not be late for the bell. “Lily You’re a fox not a human if you are seen in my school things can get way worse then a demon attack ok. Stay on the roof if you must and away from sight I don’t need any unnecessary attention right now.” Andy ran into the school doors before the bell rang and made it to class just in time. Lily jumped onto the school roof and decided to wait for Andy there. She stretched out and laid down for the time. “Hey Andy whats up?” said Lannie. Andy looked around and said, “Oh hi Lannie didn’t see you there how are you doing?” “I’m just fine but I’m more worried about you today are you feeling ok?” Andy looked at Lannie with a weird face on and said, “I’m fine why do you ask?” Lannie looked around the room and said, “yesterday you were just acting soo…..” BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! There was a huge explosion coming from the baseball field outside. The shockwave caused the school to shake and rattle as if an earthquake just hit but the smoke outside the window was proof enough it wasn’t a earthquake. “Lannie wait here and don’t follow me!” Andy ran out the door and down the stairs. He ran out the back door towards the field. “LILY!” Andy screamed. Lily jumped down and ran with Andy toward the smoke. “Whatever that is I sense evil Andy please be careful I have uneasy feeling about this.” They both ran passed the gate into the field to see what caused the explosion.

Andy and Lily walked into the field and as soon as they touched the grass they noticed something weird.
Out of the smoke someone started to stand up and caused chills to come over Andy. “Lily what is that?” Lily looked and examined the figure. As the smoke cleared Lily noticed this is going to be a tough battle. “Andy beware! This guy is strong I sense it.” A giant rock flew out of the crater at Andy. “LOOK OUT!” Lily screamed. Andy saw the rock and back flipped out of the way. The rock crashed onto the floor causing a small earth shock knocking Andy off his feet. Lily rushed back and said, “Fight or die Andy!” Lily ran toward the creature and started to run around it in circles. “FOX FIRE!” Lily screamed as mini fireballs shot out of her mouth and hit the creature in the smoke. “I suppose I have no choice this is my destiny now.” Andy ran toward the crater to aid Lily in this fight. He grabbed the necklace out of his pocket and threw it up in the air. “Elemental sword!” He screamed. The sword transformed and he grabbed it by the hilt and ran into the smoke. “I see the target I have the words! NOW WORK! ELEMENT THRUST!” Andy screamed. A flash of light shot out of the smoke causing it to disperse and a figure went flying in a variety of different colored lights.
The figure crashed into the fence at the other side of the field. Andy ran out of the hole and towards the figure. “Andy behind you!” Lily screamed. Andy stabbed the floor with the sword and swung around only to be high jump kicked into the air. A wolf with white fur and blue flaming feet kicked Andy into the air and body slammed him to the floor. The wolf ran toward the figure that was trying to stand after the blow Andy delivered using the elemental blade. “hahaha your power is pathetic and now I’ll show you what I can do.” the mysterious person said. “Blue flame sword!” A ball of blue fire appeared above his hand and a sword came out of it and into his hand. The blade was burning of the fire and the sword looked way stronger and longer then the elemental blade. Andy hesitated but shook it off and ran toward the figure. “Get out of my world!” Andy screamed as he swung the blade and almost nailed the strange person in the face but was a few inches off. The mysterious person used this opportunity to stop Andy by delivering a blow to his stomach sending him barreling into the crater in the middle of the field. “My name is Edd the blue fire master!” he said holding his sword above his head. “A mere mortal like you could never hope to defeat me MWAHAHAHAHA!” Lily stared right in his eyes and prepared to attack but when the battle was about to continue the earth began to shake again. Lily looked toward the crater and saw a large amount of energy gathering in that one spot. “Could Andy be causing this or is it someone or something else?” Lily ran toward the crater and looked into it. The expression on her face changed almost immediately as Andy floated out of the crater and stayed hovering right above it. “My power is unmatched and now I shall prove it!” Andy screamed. He held the elemental blade up to the sky and clouds started to surround the field. “Lily get out of here I don’t want you to get hurt with this spell.” Lily nodded and ran toward the school building as the clouds began to descend on the field surrounding the both of them. “What is this trickery? What are you doing? STOP RIGHT NOW ANDY!” Edd screamed. Andy ignored him and the clouds have completely covered the field. “This madness ends now! MEET MY STRONGEST SKILL!” Andy held his sword up to the clouds and lightning began to pour into the sword causing it to glow. The energy the sword is gathering is not like any other its power is unmatched. “THIS IS WHERE IT ALL ENDS PREPARE EDD FOR YOUR DOWNFALL! DARK FOG!”

Lightning fused into the sword and Andy lowered the sword and ran at Edd. “The impact will be catastrophic if those two weapons collide hear and now.” Lily thought. Edd took his sword and ran at Andy. They both were closing in on each other. Lannie looked out the window and saw what was going on. “No! Andy don’t do this you cant!” Lannie ran out of the room and down the stairs of the school trying not to trip as he ran towards the door that led to where Andy and Edd were fighting. “STOP! Don’t go any further!” Lily said. Lannie stopped and went into a fighting stance. “You will not stop me you demon!” Lannie started throwing punches at Lily and she kept on dodging them all. “I don’t want to hurt you so stop attacking or you will leave me with no choice.” Lily said. Lannie said nothing and swipe kicked Lily and made her lose balance and fall. Lily looked at Lannie knowing that she can use fox fire to knock him out but she refuses to hurt her masters best friend and does nothing. Lannie punched Lily across the face and sent her flying into the fence and almost knocking her out. “Andy is my friend and I wont let you hurt him anymore you stupid fox!” Lannie ran towards Lily with a knife. Lily had no choice but to react and fight now or die trying. “Forgive me Andy!” Lily whispered as she ran towards Lannie. “Forgive me Lannie! This is for your own good. FOX FIRE!” Lily was engulfed in the flames of fox fire and rammed into Lannie and continued to run. She rammed into the side of the school building causing Lannie to fall. He got badly hurt from the impact and couldn’t move. Lily looked back at the battle between Andy and Edd as the swords collided with each other and a burst of lightning and blue fire shot out of the swords. The sword struggle was on to see who’s physical strength would endure the fight. “This last struggle could decide the whole battle. Lets just pray Andy you can survive this or the city no the world is in trouble.” Andy struggled to push Edd’s sword back and the same goes for Edd but neither side showed signs of giving up. Andy held strong and pushed the elemental blade even further at Edd but there was no change in the struggle.
“These fools are so predictable aren’t they my lovable pet. I will show them what real power is hehehe.” The strange figure flying overhead flew down towards the battlefield with great speed. “NO! I sense “Her” presence! She can’t be here not now Not yet!” Lily thought in shock. Andy and Edd were still struggling with the swords and time was pressed against them. Someone is about to give up they are both at there limits and this struggle cant go on forever. Andy began to stagger to stand he has lost way to much power in one struggle and can barely stand now. Edd began pushing harder on the elemental blade and Andy could no longer stand with the force and fell to his knees still holding back Edd’s sword. “This power he has is to great for me to withstand any longer I cannot hold him off this is the end for me.” Andy thought struggling to push off the blue fire sword from the blade of his sword. “ANDY! GET OUT OF THERE OR YOU WILL BE KILLED! I SENSE THE PRECENSE OF……” Lily was about to finish when something hit her on the head knocking her unconscious. The sword struggle ceased and both Andy and Edd looked at the figure hovering above Lily’s head. “Who are you? Why did you do that to Lily?” Andy said furious. “I know that person….. that’s the demon known as the angel of darkness!” Edd said scared stiff. “Andy looked at the figure in the dark black dress and the black cape. The dragon symbols shined in the sunlight and on her head was 3 symbols that looked like rain drops but all curved. Her silky black hair waved in the breeze and in her hand was a staff with a black ball in the center of it. “My name is Aelita and I am here to rid the world of you people.”


Andy and Edd looked up at the figure floating in the sky.
The figure in the sky floated down to the floor and stood there in the field with Andy and Edd. “I am the ruler of the shadows The angel of Darkness Aelita Stones.” said the figure as she walked over towards Andy and Edd. “I see you wield the elemental blade so young one what is your name and where did you find that blade?” asked Aelita. Andy looked up at the girl standing before him. Her eyes were as bright as the sun and they looked just like a fox’s eye. “The sword just appeared to me along with Lily over there and my name is Andy.” The girl walked over to Edd and said, “You have fought him and couldn’t win because you are not strong enough to deal with the elemental blade.” She walked over to the center of the field and used her magic to repair the damaged areas. “This is your job young Andy. You are to recover the 8 guardians and leave the jewel alone. The shards of the Naricain jewel have no force on the sword itself but the guardians do. Hand me the jewel shard I will watch over it and together we will find the guardians.” Andy handed the shard to Aelita and she put it away so it can be kept safe. Aelita, Edd, and Andy are a team along with Lily Andy’s pet Edd’s wolf and whatever is riding on Aelita’s shoulder. Andy thought to himself, “I may be only a normal kid but now I have this to deal with and all that’s to come but I know for a fact I can survive and follow through.” As Aelita and Edd carried Lily back to Andy’s house to let her rest Andy looked up into the sky and said, “We will save the guardians I hope.” Andy ran after the others to his house and the journey to find the guardians has finally begun.
