Sorry to leave you hanging for so long, I know the cliffhanger thing is
getting a little annoying, but it makes for a better effect. Come on, you
know if it weren't for the cliffhangers, you wouldn't be as interested!
Well, enough talk! Here you go!

"You are smarter than I thought!" a voice said.

"It's that voice from the dream!" Justin said.

"Where's it coming from??" Lance asked, scared.

"The book! I remember now!" JC said running to get the book.

"Remember what?" Chris asked.

"What happened in between the time we were talking to the time we were
asleep. I remember! IT was the spirit from the book!"

He put the book on the coffee table, just like before, it flew open and the
spirit rose out of it.

"What the hell is going on?!?" Justin yelled scared.

"Remember!" The spirit said.

They all started to shake their heads and suddenly they all remembered what
had been erased from their memories before. They remembered all of what
happened after they talked about the dream, it was no longer a blur.

"So, you now know that these are dangerous beings that you are dealing
with." She said.

"Why did you block our memories?" JC asked.

"It was to protect you. I had to let you find out for yourselves." She
began, "You are a very intelligent man Joshua. More than we thought."

"Who's we?"

"It is no coincidence that you found this book. You come from a very
powerful bloodline."

"Huh?"

"You may not know it, maybe your parents might not either, but your
ancestors possessed great power, which was passed down generation after
generation, whether known to them or not."

"What is she talking about?" Lance asked.

"It is time, time that you know your destiny and your future."

"What do you mean?" JC asked.

"It is time for you to fight!"

"Fight what?"

"You know what, you've seen what they can do. Believe me that is only the
beginning."

"What?" Justin asked.

"The.vampires." JC said, somehow knowing what she was talking about.

"Yes, it is time that you all know what your destiny is."

"All of us?" Chris asked.

"Yes, all of you. He may be the one who possesses the power, but he cannot
do it alone.  He needs your help, that is why you all met, this is why you
still remain together."

"Do what?" Joey asked.

"Fight." JC said.

"Your powers are starting to come out, and they sense it, that is why they
are after you."

"After me?"

"Yes, as well as the rest of you."

"What did we do?" Justin asked.

"They know you are going to stop them. That is why they are trying to tempt
you."

"With what?" Lance asked.

"Love, sex, friendship. However they can get you to trust them. Once they
feel that their spells have blinded you enough, that is when they will
strike. All they need is to get one of you, then it will make it easy for
them to get the rest of you."

"I.I don't understand. what do you mean tempt us?" Joey asked.

"You know what she means Joe, Maggie, Yolanda, Lael, Alex, Brady, all of
them." JC said.

"He is correct." She said.

"NO! Not Maggie! Not her!" Joey screamed.

"I'm sorry Joey, but why do you think that all of a sudden you've
practically fallen in love with her?" JC said.

"It can't be! It just can't!" he said now starting to cry.

"There is something different about that one." The spirit said.

"Who, Maggie?" JC asked as he as well as the other guys went over to
comfort Joey.

"Yes, that one. She has been known to kill, but, we sense a change in her."

"Who's we, and what change?" Lance asked.

"We are an ancient force, set out to destroy evil. We have been around
since the ancient times of the Middle Ages when a great darkness was
released in this world. It was the magician Merlin who made us what we
are. He gave us powers, and said that it would be passed down through our
bloodline. There were five of us who were there, each of our future
relatives would gain these powers, it would only be shown to them when they
needed to be used. Each of our spirits would live on after our deaths in
our relatives.  Each member to come would have a piece of us in them, so
you see, there are more like you out there. Three of the five families'
relatives are fighting now as we speak. Including you, it is now four."

"Where are they?" JC asked.

"There is one in Florida, one in New York, and the other in California."

"Now what change were you talking about?" Justin asked.

"The one you know as Maggie, she is trustworthy, but, you should still keep
an eye on her." She said as Joey perked up.

"Who's this one, in Florida?" JC asked.

"You already suspect someone, that is who it is."

"What's she talking about?" Chris asked.

"That nurse chick." Lance said.

"Yes, her name is Xaina."  (Zai-ee-nah)

"What a name!" Justin said.

"Do not mock her, she is a very powerful woman, she knows about you and
your gifts.  She will contact you when you are ready."

"What do you mean ready?" JC asked.

"When the time is right, you will meet and work together to destroy this
evil."

"So wait, based on what you are saying, the reason Yolanda ran out of here
was probably because of my cross?" Justin said.

"Yes, that is why you put it on tonight. Usually you where your N SYNC
chain or your JRT chain."

"How'd you know..."

"Something told you to put that on tonight didn't it?" JC asked cutting off
Justin.

"Yeah, I haven't worn it in a while."

"Who do you think it was who told you?" JC said pointing to the spirit.

"Yes, that was for your protection, you would have surely died tonight if
you hadn't had that on."

"Oh, my God! I'm so sorry Justin!" Joey said.

"Yeah, us too!" Lance and Chris said.

"It's ok, you had no idea. All that matters is that I had it on and she
didn't get me." He said as the rest of the guys hugged him.

"Are there any questions?" The Spirit asked.

"Yeah, what do we call you, and how can we contact you if we need you?" JC
asked.

"My spirit name is Erudissa, to summon me, just simply call out my name and
I will appear."

"When are we supposed to start this fighting?" Lance asked.

"You will know when you are ready, right now you just need to open your
eyes and see what's around you." She said as she started to disappear back
into the book.

As she disappeared back into the book it slammed shut. The guys looked at
each other and then all at the same time fell onto the couch and chairs.

"This is to freaky." Chris said as he leaned back.

"Freaky! I'm fuckin scared to death." Justin said still staring at the TV.

"What are we going to do?" Lance asked looking at JC.

"I don't know." JC said as he put his hands up to his head, "But we can't
let them know we know about them. It would put us at too much of a
risk. Let's just play along."

"JC? No offence but how the fuck do you expect us to keep it cool and just
play along.  They want to kill us!" Joey said standing from his chair.

"We have all acted at one point in our lives or another. We have to do that
now."

"And um, if they suspect something?" Justin said now looking at JC.

"Then we hide, the best we can till we are ready."

Chris stood up and started to jump around.

"Oh FUCK." Chris said in fear.

"What is it?" JC said jumping up and looking at Chris.

"We let them in!"

"What?"

"We let them in to the house. If everything is true about them, like the
crosses and stuff then they can't just come into the house whenever they
want!"

"What!" Lance said jumping up from the couch.

"They can't just come in?" Justin said turning into that little boy look
again.

JC looked at the watch on his hand. It said "1:00 A.M."

"Look guys it would probably be best if we just got some sleep."

"Sleep, you want us to sleep!" Chris said as he still paced around the
living room.

JC grabbed him by the shoulders and picked him up with no trouble. Chris
gasped, as JC looked at him now looking down at JC. He dropped him and
looked at the other guys staring at him in shock. JC's heart began to race,
he could feel fear building up inside of him. He took off up the stairs to
him room. He slammed the door and started to pace back and forth.

"JC!" Lance yelled as he ran up after him.

Chris looked around and then up the stairs. Fear still raced though his
head. Lance went and knocked on JC's door.

"Go away." JC said softly.

"Come on Josh, let me in you need to talk about this."

"Lance, just leave me alone."

Lance opened the door and walked in.

"Doesn't anybody listen around here?"

Lance didn't say anything he just walked closer to JC. JC looked at Lance
as he moved closer to him. His head was flooded with all kinds of
things. Mostly fear, but when he saw Lance's face that all went away. He
stayed put as Lance got closer and closer to him. They could hear the other
guys walk by his room as Justin stuck his head in JC's room.

"Hey guys.....Um we're all going to sleep in the same room tonight just in
case. Are you guy's going to join us?" Justin said with a shaky voice.

"No, we'll be fine in here Just." Lance said as he looked back at Justin.

"Ok, just scream if you guys need anything like a baseball bat or
something." Justin said with a smile as he pulled his baseball bat out from
behind him.

Justin never really could crack a joke when he was scared but both JC and
Lance liked the idea he was trying to get across. Justin shut the door and
Lance looked back at JC.  When their eye's met, JC felt that weird feeling
he had every time he would look into Lance's eyes. Lance didn't say
anything, but quickly grabbed JC by his waist and pushed their lips
together. JC was startled at first, but then realized what was happening.
Lance didn't break the kiss, and JC didn't try to get him to break it. They
kissed passionately, and Lance led JC to the edge of his bed. JC fell back
and Lance landed on top of him with ease. Then Lance lifted up JC's shirt
and pulled it off his body. JC let out a soft moan Lance's hands rubbed
down his chest.

	JC took Lance's shirt off and Lance leaned up against JC's
body. Their bodies rubbed together as they started to undo each other's
pants. They weren't in any rush they just wanted to hold each other. It was
more of a loving scene. They kissed every inch of each other's bodies,
paying more attention to the areas that needed it.  JC felt Lance's hard
cock press up against his leg. As they were kissing JC reached behind his
pillow and pulled out a bottle of hand lotion. Lance broke the kiss and
looked at JC. JC smiled. He had been with other guys and knew what it felt
like, and Lance wasn't the biggest guy, JC had ever been with so he knew
what to expect. Lance on the other hand, didn't know what to do. He got
nervous and it showed on his face.

"It's ok, I want you to." JC said as he kissed Lance again.

Lance took some of the lotion into his hand and rubbed it on his cock. JC
propped his legs up on Lance's shoulders and waited for Lance to enter
him. Lance leaned forward and slipped into JC. JC let out a slight gasp of
pain and pleasure. Lance fully entered JC and then began to build up a
steady pace. JC began to moan softly, he couldn't believe what he wanted
ever since he met Lance was now happening. It was better then he could have
ever imagined. Lance began to build a faster pace and he could feel himself
getting closer to climax. His body tensed up as he came in JC. JC took his
legs off Lance's shoulders and Lance slowly slipped out of him. Lance lay
down next to JC and put his head on his chest. Soon Lance fell fast asleep
and JC lay there, loving every moment of Lance lying in his arms. Soon JC
fell asleep.


Back at the Light.


	Lael stood in his black suit as his people stood around him. The
body of a young boy was in his arms. The boy was about 12, and was a
runaway.

"Was he satisfactory master?" Alexander asked.

Lael took his mouth off the boy's neck and looked at him.

"Yes he was quite good." He said letting the boy fall to the floor with a
slam. Maggie watched as the boy lay dead on the floor. She couldn't help
but think of the parents that were missing their baby boy, that now lay
dead and about to be lost forever. Alexander walked over, picked up the
boy's body and carried him out of the room to the furnace where they put
all their bodies.

"So tell me, how is it going with our boys from `N Sync?" Lael asked
looking at Brady.

"Well master, aside from some small complications." Brady said proud.

"I am aware of the Diner. I can not be angry at you for that. You were
doing what you were told, but what are some other problems....."

Yolanda stepped forward and lowered the shirt she had put on. There was the
distinct burn of a cross on her chest.

"Oh now this can be a problem." Lael said with a snicker.

Maggie bowed her head as he looked at her.

"How did this happen?"

"I was simply going to seduce Justin and then turn him, but he had a
cross......"

Lael took Yolanda by the neck and threw her against the wall. His face
changed to his Vampire state. He quickly moved over to her, so fast that he
was simply a blur. He picked her up and slammed her against the wall again.

"You we're going to what?" Lael said in a calm voice, but his face staying
the same.

"I was going to sleep with him like you said master." Yolonda said as her
body tried to get air to make sound.

"Oh." Lael's face turned back to normal and dropped her, "Well then in that
case I think you two should go back tomorrow night and make sure Yolanda
does what she is supposed to do."

Just then Alexander walked back in.

"Ah Alexander. I take it you have not talked to Chris yet about the little
problem we had earlier this evening."

"No my lord. I did not want to get them worried by having all of us
around. I shall join Yolanda and Maggie tomorrow night, and do it then, if
that is alright with you."

"That is fine with me. Oh and Maggie, how are you and Joey going?"

Maggie grew a smile and said,

"Fine my lord. I believe he is in love with me. He shouldn't be a problem
for me to take care of."

"Good and what about Xaina? She is becoming more of a problem?"

"We are out looking for her now Master." Alexander said with a smile.

"Well now that all that is in place I will turn in for the day. Good
night."

All of them bowed as Lael left the room. When the door to his chamber
closed Brady, Yolanda, Maggie, and Alex filed out into the dance level of
the club. They all walked back to their rooms, crawled into their beds and
went to sleep.


Back at Justin's house


	Justin walked down the stairs into the living room. He was the only
one up, and had snuck out of his room where Joey and Chris were still
sleeping. The sun lightly filtered into the house through the windows. He
was still scared but he knew he was in no danger, not until that night
anyway. He sat down on the couch and looked at the book.

"Um....Spirit Lady?" Justin said as he picked up the book.

"Yes Justin?" The book echoed.

Justin jumped when it did that but then quickly regained his composer.

"How much power do you have? I mean my Mom and little brother are supposed
to be coming back sometime soon and I don't want them here when we fight."

"Your mother and your little brother will not be here when it happens. The
other spirits in LA have made sure of that."

"Um....I have one more question? What is my purpose in all this?"

"That you must find out on your own, you must open your eyes."

"Well how do I do that?"

"You will find out. Just remember Justin, you are JC's friend, he will draw
his strength from you, don't act afraid or he will draw on you from that
power. You must always stay brave."

"I can't help it if I'm scared."

"You must try, you are all connected, each draws their strength from the
other, But you Justin are the key to JC's success."

"Me?"

"The others are important to him, but it is you that he drives off of. The
things you do makes him feel closer to you. It is the way it has always
been."

"So what happens to him if something happens to me?"

The book went silent and Justin began to get worried.

"What happens to him if something happens to me?"

"He will lose his strength, and he will dwell on you for the rest of his
life until he in return dies. The same goes for all you."

"Thank you....I will let you get back to what ever you do...in there."

Justin laid the book down and then laughed to himself.

"I was just talking to a book."

Then the book flew open and the voice came back and said,

"And the book talked back."

Justin laughed.

"I think I could get use to having you around."

The book shut and Justin got up and walked out of the living room. Then it
occurred to him. None of that seemed strange, it was like it was just a
common thing. He ran back in to the living room and picked up the book. He
started to flip though the pages until he found what he was looking for. On
the page that he looked on were words that he had seen before. In one of
his dreams it was something he had forgotten about.

"Defalgrat morey tempa etavalia" Justin said out load.

A small tingle went over his body, as if someone took a feather and went
down his spine with it. He got the goose bumps then looked back down at the
book. He was amazed.  He could understand all the words. He got very
excited and closed the book and then kissed the cover.

"I LOVE YOU!" Justin said excitedly.

He ran upstairs and went into JC's room. When he opened the door he stood
there dumbfounded. Lance was in JC's arms and they were naked. Then Justin
remembered what the book said and ignored it. Then he got really excited
again at what he just found out. He ran over and jumped on the bed next to
Lance, making the bed shake as he landed. JC and Lance's eyes flew open and
they sat up. Justin laid his head on the pillow and looked at the two
shocked faces.

"So you guys look like you had a good night." Justin said with a frown.

"Justin..... I... I can explain.." JC said in a scared voice.

"Oh, I don't give a flying fuck if you guys are doing it." He said as his
frown turned to a smile.

JC and Lance looked at each other confused.

"Oh! You're never going to believe what I did!" He said as he jumped off
the bed.

JC and Lance looked back at him.

"What did you do?" JC asked worried.

"I think I opened my eyes. See, watch."

Justin held out his hand and focused really hard. JC and Lance could feel a
breeze that entered the room. Then the book came flying into Justin's hand.

Lance and JC shook their heads in disbelief.

"How'd you do that?" Lance asked as he took the book out of Justin's hands
and looked over it.

"I just said a spell in it and I understood what I had to do. I still don't
think I'm ready to fight but it's still pretty cool huh?"

JC shook his head yes while he watched Lance look at the book. JC took the
book from Lance and flipped it to a page. There he saw what he had seen
before, but now he understood.

"Here Justin take a look at this." JC said.

Justin took the book and looked at the page with a smile then it slowly
faded. On the page was a picture of someone who looked somewhat like him
holding the book in one hand and a fireball in the other.

"What the hell is that??!" Justin said.

"I think it's you."

"Hey, um.. Erudissa."

"Yes Justin?" she said.

"Is that supposed to be me?"

"In time, that is what you will be capable of."

"So it's me?"

"In one form, but you can go many different ways."

"What do you mean?" Lance asked.

"Although each of you has a destiny to fulfill, it is up to you on which
path you will take to fulfill it."

"You can go the evil way or the good way." JC said.

"Exactly, you are learning quite quickly Joshua."

"Please, just call me Josh or JC."

"Noted."

"Um, guys.. I think you should get dressed before any of the others gets up
and walks in here, especially if you don't want them to know about you two
just yet." Justin said.

"Yeah, he's right." Lance said.

"Give me the book, I wanna see if I can find some more cool stuff!"

"Ok, but just be careful! Erudissa, make sure he doesn't cast any bad
spells or stuff that can harm any of us." JC said.

"I will do as you say." She said.

"Just, not a word to any of the guys!"

"I know, I know!" Justin said, "I'll leave you two, so you can, um. do
whatever."

"Shut up!" Lance said laughing.

"When you're done come find me, I'll either be in my room, or downstairs."

"Ok." JC and Lance both said.

Justin left the room and went into his room. Joey was just getting up as
Justin entered and Chris was still sleeping.

"What are you doing?" Joey asked.

"Looking through the book, look, come here." Justin said.

"What?"

"Isn't this cool!" Justin said showing him the picture.

"Is that you?"

"It can and will be."

"Huh?"

"Yes."

"Oh."

"Why are you in there?"

"It is his destiny." Erudissa said.

"Oh shit! I forgot about her."

"I was just looking in it to see if I found the rest of you." Justin said.

"Cool, let me see."

"Come on, let's go downstairs so we don't wake Chris."

"Too, late!" Chris said from the floor."

"Oh, sorry dude!"

"Don't worry about it, I was just about to get up anyway. Now what are you
people talking about?"

"Come here, I'll show you."

"Dude, that's you!"

"Yup!"

"Why?"

"It's his destiny" Joey said.

"Are we in there?"

"I don't know, that's just what we were about to look for." Justin said.

"Let's go downstairs." Joey said.

"Yeah, come on."

"Where's JC and Lance?" Chris asked.

"They're in his room, they'll down in a minute."

They went downstairs into the kitchen. When they got there, Lance was
already sitting at the table eating a bagel. The phone rang and Justin went
to pick it up.

"Hello?" he said.

"Hey honey, it's me!" Lynn said.

"Hi mom!"

"Hey, I'm really sorry, but it looks like I'm gonna be here for a
while. It's like, just as everything seems to be going right, something
else goes wrong. I don't know when we'll be back, and don't worry about the
car."

"What happened?"

"Nothing, I'm just saying not to worry about it. I'm sure you guys will be
ok, are Joey and Lance going to stay for the rest of the week, or are they
gonna go home?"

"I think they're gonna stay."

"Well, if you start to run low on food, go shopping. Food shopping, don't
use that same excuse you did last time and go to the mall and buy yourself
another ten pairs of sneakers!"

"I know, I know!"

"Alright, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later, bye!"

"Alright bye, I love you!"

"Love you too, bye!"

"That was mom, she doesn't know when she's coming back." Justin said
hanging up the phone.

"They will not be back until everything is right." The spirit said, "That
is to protect them."

"I know, you told me."

"Let's see if we find the rest of us in the book." Joey said.

"Let's wait till JC gets down here first."

"I'm here, let's do this." JC said walking into the kitchen.

They flipped through the book and saw various spells and warnings. It was
about fifteen minutes until they found one of them.

"Look, there's Joey." Justin said.

"Where, where?" Joey said.

"Right here."

The picture was of him with a steak in his hand, his shirt ripped, and a
little blood dropping from his mouth.

"Dude, you look pissed!" JC said.

"Who's that girl by your leg?" Chris asked.

He pointed to a girl who was crying and appeared to be badly beaten up. She
was holding onto his leg, it seemed like she was trying to stop him from
doing something, trying to hold him back.

"Is.is that Maggie?" Joey asked.

"Yes." The Spirit said.

"What am I doing there?"

"In time you will know, but all I can say is that you have a strong heart
and will protect those who you love."

They flipped through the book for another ten minutes and came across a
picture of Chris. They slowly laid the book down and looked at the
picture. Chris was lying on a table with a knife sticking out of his
chest. Lance covered his mouth and tears filled his eyes.

"NO THIS IS FUCKED UP!"  Chris yelled as he stumbled out of the kitchen.

Justin quickly got up and ran to Chris who was now crying very hard on the
living room floor.

"Can this be changed?" JC asked quietly.

"Yes Joshu....JC. It can, but, only he can do it." She said.

Lance looked over at Joey who had his head lying on the table. Tears slowly
fell down Lance's face and JC rubbed some away.

"It's going to be alright. We just need to watch out for each other." JC
said halfheartedly.

Lance shook his head and Joey lifted his head and looked at JC.

"Your right, we're going to be fine as long as we stick together." Lance
said with a smile.

JC was lost as to why Joey was smiling but it had to be a good sign. Joey
quickly got up and ran into the living room. He went over to where Justin
was trying to comfort Chris but wasn't having much success. Joey pulled
Chris off the floor and pulled him into a brotherly hug.

"Guess what?" Joey said as he looked at Chris.

"What?" Chris said still crying.

"I think I just opened my eyes!" Joey took off and ran outside.

JC and Lance had walked into the room and were trying to figure out what
was going on.  Chris had started to laugh cause Joey was acting like such a
dumb ass. They all ran out into the backyard. Joey was sitting in a lounge
chair with a huge smile on his face.

"Joey what the hell is up with you." Lance asked with a smile as his tears
faded.

"I think I'm starting to like this 'Vampire kicking ass' kinda thing.

"Why?" Chris said, as he suddenly remembered what he saw in the book.

"Because my dear boy, I can control.....the way I look." Joey pulled down
his sunglasses that he had grabbed as he was running out.

All the guys gasped except for Justin. Joey's eyes were red.

"Oh please, I can do so much better." Justin said as he held out his
hand. The book came flying in to his hand.

Joey smiled as Chris, Lance and JC again looked at Justin with shook. Then
they all laughed in amazement. As their laughter slowly died Lance's face
turned to a frown.

"Guys, we have company." Lance said staring to the left of JC.

All the guys looked over and saw the nurse standing there with four
people. Two girls, and two boys. Lance noticed one of the men right off
hand. He was the Irish man that sold him the sword a couple of days
ago. They were all dressed in black and had dead stares on the guys. The
Nurse stared at JC, the Irishman at Lance, one of the girls stared at
Justin, the tallest man stared at Joey, and the other girl stared at
Chris. The five people started to spread out not taking their eyes off of
the guys. The Irishman pulled out two swords one of them was the sword
Lance hand bought. He tossed it to Lance and said.

"You're going to need it Laddy"

Lance caught the sword and stared at the man.

The girl who was looking at Justin slowly stepped to the right. By now all
the guys had began to file into the house being very afraid of these
people. Justin began to flip though the book franticly. He was looking for
something he could use. They were now being backed into the kitchen and JC
was in front of the rest of the guys, the nurse was in the front of her
group. Justin was looking through the book when he said,

"I could use a little help here book!"

The pages of the book began to flip till they stopped. Justin looked at the
words and the said them.

"Earth's winds hear my say, blow with your fury and all your rage."

Then out of instinct he held out his hand and all the people in the room
could hear a deafening roar. Then the group that had followed the guys into
the house were blown back and they all hit the ground with a bang. The guys
looked at Justin then they took off running. They ran out the front door,
piled into Lance's 4runner and sped off.

"Were they Vampires?" Chris asked as he looked out the back window.

"I don't think so." JC said as he drove.

"Umm Josh my man you might want to drive faster." Joey said being perfectly
calm.

JC looked in the review mirror at two cars pulling up fast behind them.

"Oh shit!" JC said as he put his foot down on the gas.

The 4runner began to pass the 100mph mark when they hit the abandoned part
of Orlando. They were taking sharp turns and the guys had to hold on so not
to put too much pressure on the door. The cars started to pull to the side
of the 4runner. JC put his foot down a little more and the pulled away from
the other cars. He was ahead of them, and every time one would try to get
beside he would move the 4runner in the way. This went on for about 5
minutes when JC noticed a little red light come on.

"Jesus Lance, don't you ever fucking fill up the gas." JC yelled as he
pulled into a parking lot of an old abandoned building.

They all jumped out of the car and ran into the building. Just as they got
in, the two cars pulled up. JC and Justin looked though the broken windows
of the building as all five of the people piled out, once again the Nurse
in the lead. Justin began to look through the book again. He flipped
through the pages and tore one of them.

"Oh God I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Its ok Justin, I'm not the book, I just use it to talk to you."

Just when the spirit was talking to him the page had a bright blue glow it
then healed itself.

"Cool."

"Justin come on we need some help here." JC said as he looked at Justin.

"OK, OK, I'm just getting use to this shit alright."

Justin was flipping through the book.

"Oh kick ass!"

"JUSTIN!" All the guys yelled at once.

"OK..........Bend light from the skies, turn us clear to their eyes."

Justin held his hand up into the air, but nothing happened.

"Great spell Justin." Joey said as he looked at the door.

The five people looked into the room.

"Where are they?" The Irishman said.

"They couldn't have gone far. Split up and look for them. When you find
them bring them back to me." The nurse said.

All the people walked out of the room and up the stairs. The floors creaked
as they moved up them.

"Dude, what the hell just happened?" Lance asked in a whisper.

"I don't know. Just what's the name of that spell?" Chris said.

Justin smiled and looked at the guys.

"Spell of invisibility."

All the guys smiled. They started to walk out of the room when Joey stepped
on a board that creaked. Before any of them could move the Nurse jumped
down from one of the holes in the floor followed by the Irishman. They
looked around in a battle stance and glared around the room.

"I think we underestimated the wizard boy." The nurse said.

"Aye, he is a bit more trouble then we had thought." The Irishman said.

They spilt up in the room the Nurse going left, the Irishman going
right. They stepped quietly and carefully. Trying not to make any
sounds. They would look up into the rafters and around all the walls. The
guys were silently standing in the middle of the room careful not to make a
sound. The girl who was watching Justin came down the stairs and looked at
the two people moving around the room.

"They're in here?" She said with a soft voice.

The nurse nodded and looked at her.

"We think it's the Wizards work, but we can't be sure if it was him. Think
you can help us out a little?"

Just then the other two came down the stairs and looked around.

"I would be more then glad to mother..........Show me thy enemies, and so
for bend their light."

All the guys looked at each other as a green mist went over their
bodies. Looking down at their arms and bodies, they stood as the group of
people surrounded them. Taking up the people they had been looking at, at
Justin's house.

"I was hoping for more of a fight." The taller man said as he looked at
Joey.

Joey pulled down his sunglasses like he did at the house and said as he
eyes turned yellow.

"You got it." Joey said as he ran through the guys as, the Tall man
followed him.

The guys watched as Joey ran around one of the corners. The Tall man was
around the corner shortly after. Joey was running down the hall trying to
figure out what to do. He didn't fully know his power and he wasn't sure if
he should use it. He came to a dark closet and went in. He could hear the
man come running next to the door and stop. Joey thought to himself,

"Well it's now or never."

He focused on the one thing he could think of to help him. The Tall Man
heard a high pitch coming from the closet. As he neared the door it flew at
him. When he hit the wall he saw a man come out in a Ninja outfit. The man
laughed and got back up.

"Well if that's how you want to play." The man threw his head down and when
he looked back up at Joey, he had changed.

He was wearing, a black leather, Warlords outfit. He charged at Joey. Out
of reflex Joey rolled to the side then jumped back up. The Tall Man turned
around and started to kick and punch Joey, Joey blocking every hit he could
till the man hit him. Joey jumped back from the punch then jump-kicked at
the guy. The man moved out of the way and went to kick Joey in the back of
the head. Joey dodged the kick and went for a foot sweep. The Tall man
jumped, got back up and started throwing kicks and punches, blocking each
other's hits. Then the man got Joey with a backhand and Joey flipped into
the wall. He tried to get back up, but couldn't he was too dazed. He could
feel himself start to lose control of the power and his body changed back
to the way it was.


The Irishman looked at Lance and then at JC. He walked over to JC and said.

"I was so much mor hopin tha you people would put up a better fight."

He pulled his sword back and started for JC's head. Just as JC was about to
move another sword came in front of JC's face.

"Guess what asshole, I just opened my eyes!" Lance said in a pissed off
voice.

The Irishman smiled slightly then backed away and charged at Lance. They
were fighting with the swords, Lance doing a very good job. They were
moving very fast and it was hard to see exactly what was going on. Lance's
cutlass was much smaller than the Irishman's two-handed sword, it gave
Lance quicker speed, but not as much power in his hits. The sword fight was
fast and Lance was tiring quickly. He once again started to fight back
harder. It was getting hard to fight back and Lance began to slow down.

"Time to improvise." He thought to himself.

The Irishman made a swing for Lance's head. Lance ducked then took his fist
to the guy's balls. As the man bent over Lance hit him on the head with the
butt of his sword.  The man fell on his back then got back up.

"That's the way you want to play laddy? Then lets play dirty."

The fight went back to the normal pace it was when they started. The
sword's clanged and chimed as they moved back and forth. The Irishman was
pushing Lance up the stairs, to the next level. Lance was beginning to
struggle and weaken.

They got to the second floor and Lance was pushed up against a beam. The
Irishman swung the sword at Lance's head.


	Justin began to look around franticly. In a matter of minutes two
of his friends had disappeared. He looked over at the girl who was looking
at him. Now he took action.

"Earth's winds hear my say, blow with your fury and all your rage." He
yelled.

The deafening sound filled the room once again and then the younger girl
flew back into a wall. Justin took off through the one of the doors in the
room to another. The girl got up with a jump and ran after Justin. She
entered the room and looked around.

"I know you're in here. You can't hide for long you know that." She said in
her soft voice.  Justin began to flip though the book.

"I could use some more help here book." He said quietly and calmly.

The pages of the book flipped quickly to a spell. As Justin looked at the
spell his eyes grew wider.

"The spell of transformation?" Justin asked looking at the book.

All the words on the page faded and three letters appeared.

"YES." was what the letters read.

Then it went back to the spell. He shrugged his shoulders and read what he
needed to do.

"Focus on the thing you want to change into. Hold your hand to your chest
and say the words." He thought for a moment then something broke his
concentration.

"Come out, come out wherever you are."

Then fire shot up from around him in a ring. Justin pushed himself closer
to the pillar that he was behind.

"Shit! SHIT!" Justin cried.

He began to get more scared. Then he remembered what the book said. About
them all being connected, JC to him more. So Justin couldn't show his
fear. The girl walked around the Ring of Fire and stared at him.

"You know, for a younger guy you're pretty cute." She said.

Justin looked at her and smiled. He leaned forward and then stood up. She
looked at him as if he were crazy. He walked forward and stepped though the
fire. She took a couple of steps back and fire filled in her hand. Justin
didn't react, he just held up his hand and lighting ran between his
finger's with the hum energy makes.

"Shall we dance?" Justin said being a smart-ass.

The girl snickered and thew her hand forward, a fireball raced across the
room to Justin.

"Oh fuck!" Justin said as he jumped to the side.

When he hit the ground he rolled then did the same thing. Lightning shot
from his hand and flew towards her. She held out her hand, and the
lightning disappeared before it hit her. Justin froze it was nothing like
he had ever seen. He knew what he was doing was amazing, but she just
stopped a bolt of lighting. He got up and did it again. The lighting flew
and she blocked it.

"Your are going to have to do better then that." She said.

She held out her hand and wind filled the room. Justin flew back up against
a steel pole.  Pain shot though his body as he felt the book fall to the
floor, he then fell right next to it.

	
 	Chris began to get worried. He was the only one that didn't know
what he was capable of. The girl took a step closer to him, and he took a
step back.

"Stay away from me you crazy bitch." He yelled.

The woman cocked her head to the right and smiled. She took another step
forward and Chris took off running up the stairs. The woman followed with a
smile. Chris was a faster runner than she was so he was ahead of her a good
ways. He bent down and picked up a small metal pipe and looked around for
something else to use when he noticed some blood on the pillar he was
standing next to and there was this, huge cut in the side of it.  He
thought for a moment then looked down at the ground and saw Lance's
shoe. Anger filled his mind and he began to look around slowly. His eyes
were in a cold stare as the woman came around the corner. She stopped and
looked at him. She and him began to walk towered each other. Then Chris
took off running the other way. He began to jump over the debris trying not
to slow down. Then something hit him. He fell to the ground and rolled. He
got up and the woman jumped over the box he had just jumped over and landed
on top of him. He looked up at her and tried to figure out what was going
on, when something hit him again and he passed out.


"How's the arm?" The nurse asked as she began to walk around JC.

JC keeping up with her not taking his eyes off her.

"It's better." He said without any feeling in his voice.

"Good, I was hoping it would be by this time. From what I hear you have
been learning well, but do you think you can take me?"

"Don't know, but if you're going to kill I'm going to go down fighting."

The woman smiled then swung at JC. He back-flipped away from her and got
into a fighting stance and looked at her. They began to make circles as
they moved around each other. Then she kicked at him, JC blocked and swung
at her. She blocked. They began to fight more and more. The moves became
more complex and less human like.  Their jumps were 10 to 15 feet high
jumps going into flips. It also appeared they could fly. JC landed on his
feet after attacking her. He flipped back and motioned for her to come at
him. She did. She jumped in the air and flew towards him. He did the same
thing. When they met in the air JC kicked her to the ground. She hit the
floor with a slam.  JC landed facing away from her and then turned around
quickly. She lay on the floor not moving. He slowly walked towards her and
carefully bent down next to her. Her eyes flew open and she said,

"Big mistake!"

She kicked JC in the back of the head then jumped up again. JC got up a bit
dazed.  While he was dazed she attacked him and he tried his best to block
everything, but he was too dazed. He went to block her hit and then,
blocked her other hand, which he saw come towards him. When he did that she
caught him with a thrust kick and he flew back and landed on the stairs
breaking them. He tired to get back up, but he couldn't. Then everything
went black.

	Xaina took deep breaths has she looked at JC's limp body. She
grabbed her side where he had kicked her only a few minutes before. She
collapsed onto the floor and sighed in pain. Her breathing was slowing down
now that she wasn't working so hard. It was clear that JC was much better
then she was at fighting, more powerful too. He just needed to be taught
how to use it more. He was still no match for Lael or Brady, but she knew
that he would be, and soon. It was only a matter of time before he fully
opened his eyes and would be able to destroy Lael, and his followers. She
got up off the floor with a moan of pain and walked over to JC. She checked
him to make sure everything was ok and then carried him off the broken
stairs to the middle of the room. Soon after came the Tall Man carrying
Joey over his left shoulder.

"Did he give that much of a problem?" Xaina asked.

"I underestimated him. For a couple of seconds I thought I was in some big
trouble. I know for a fact he has stronger powers than I do." The tall man
said.

Just then the girl who went after Justin came in dragging him by both arms.

"A little help here?" She said as she strained to pull him though the door.

The tall man walked over, picked up Justin, then walked over and laid him
next to Joey and JC. The three looked at the young men lying in front of
them.

"How much trouble did the Wizard boy give you?" Xaina asked.

"A lot more then I thought he would. With every use of his power he gets
stronger. If I hadn't figured out how to use that blocking spell I would
probably be dead."

"So these......Boys are the ones?" the tall man said

Xaina nodded and walked over to Justin. She noticed that he didn't have the
book he had earlier.

"Where's the book?!?" She said with fear.

"He dropped it when he fell." Her daughter said.

"Don't lose that book he needs it."

"I know, that's why I have it with me."

"Give it to me."

She handed her the book and the woman put it on his chest. They could hear
some thumping on the floor above. Then they saw the Irishman carrying Lance
down with both swords in their holster on his back.

"This little arse is good. Very good." He said as he jumped over the broken
stairs.

He walked over and laid him down next to JC.

"So they're the ones. They do make a cute couple don't they?" He said with
his thick accent.

They all laughed as they heard a cry for help.

"Help, this fucker is heavy." The woman who had chased Chris had him over
her shoulder and was standing at the stairs.

As the Tall man started to walk for her Chris' eyes flew open.

"Let me go! Help!" He said as he looked at the stairs, which had made a
ramp due to all the broken wood.

He got off her shoulders and ran down the ramp. When he got to the bottom
all the wood broke leaving the other woman standing at the stairs. The tall
man watched as Chris ran passed him. Then Chris fell to the floor and
passed out......again.

"I take it he is the hyper one?" The Irishman asked.

They all shrugged their shoulders and the Irishman picked him up and laid
him next to Lance.

"So now what do we do?" The young Wizard girl asked.

"We wait for them to wake up. Then we get them something to eat, then we
leave them to figure everything out on their own."

"What? You expect them to do everything on their own?"

"Yes, from the way you all look, it looks like they almost beat you after
some of them just having their powers for 20 seconds. I think they can do
it on their own. Except JC, he is hiding something, so he can't fully
understand his power. I will have to work with him.  And as for all of you,
stay in hiding. If they find us were as good as dead.

"Xaina, Joshua is not hiding anything. He is just not sure what he is
supposed to do. And it is up to you to help him." The book said as it flew
open on Justin's chest.

The spirit arose and looked down at all five of them. Then looked at
Justin. A small smile appeared on her face as she looked at him. From the
time Merlin had created her, she had missed her one true love. She never
thought she could love another. Till she met Justin. She had lost all hope,
of loving someone again, but Justin could be the one to change that. For
the passed 500 years she has wanted out of the book, her time had come so
long ago, and now she wanted a normal life. With someone who could love
her, but that could never be. She was stuck for all eternity, or until all
evil in the world had been defeated.

	Xaina looked at the spirit then heard a soft moan. Then another,
and another, and another, and another. All the guys were starting to wake
up at the same time.  They all grabbed the back of their heads. Before
Justin could open his eyes the spirit flew into the book and it
closed. They looked around and all of them jumped up and got in fighting
positions again.
