As everyone entered a small apartment in the basement of the Silver Dragon Ranma glared at the other girls, he may have wished Will would talk to them but she didn't and he didn't like how uncomfortable they were making her. He looked at Will who pulled her cloak tighter hiding in its shadows.

 

“Can't we talk alone?” Ranma asked Caleb who stood near the bed where the four girls sat down.

 

“We're the guardians of the veil buddy, whatever Phobos and Snakeboy are planning we need to know also.” Irma said. Ranma recognized them easily enough from Will's descriptions.

 

“They're okay, whatever you have to say you can say in front of them.” Caleb said.

 

“Why don't you remove that thing.” Cornelia said, gesturing to Will, “You must be hot under there.”

 

“My wife doesn't want to remove her cloak and she doesn't do anything she doesn't want to.” Ranma said glaring at Cornelia, “Got it?”

 

“G-Got it.” Cornelia said, drawing back in shock.

 

“Good, now let's get this over with.” Ranma said, looking back at Caleb. “Altair and the other rebels have heard that Phobos is planning something big to lure you out and kill you. They're trying to learn more but Altair wants you to stay in touch with him.”

 

“That's not really anything new, big, dark and evil has been trying to kill all of us for awhile. Ever since Will disappeared its gotten a lot worse.” Irma said, looking at the ground.

 

“If Will wasn't such a coward she would never have run away.” Cornelia said.

 

“Don't you ever talk about Will like that!” Ranma snapped, his aura flaring around him scaring the girls a little while Caleb took up a stance in front of them.

 

“Cornelia, how can you even say that?” Irma demanded, standing up to tower over Cornelia with tears falling freely. “Your big mouth was part of the reason Will left and I don't blame her!”

 

“You was talking about her to.” Cornelia said.

 

“I never got to finish what I was saying either! I still wonder what it would have been like if Will didn't move here! Would the oracle have chosen a different keeper? One that would have let us all die! Will saved us all time and time again…If it wasn't for Will we would have never have saved Taranee when Frost captured her! But…but if she never came here we would never have met her…she's…she's our friend Corny and I miss her…I screwed up…I admit it Corny, I'm a total screw up and so are y-you!!” Irma sobbed.

 

“You don't think I miss her!” Cornelia snapped, “Yes I'm upset about everything that happened but it doesn't mean I don't care for her. I'm a human being, Irma, I make mistakes.”

 

“Stop it, please.” Taranee begged.

 

“That doesn't change the fact that Will ran away like a coward though!” Cornelia continued, “I love her and miss her to but her running away put all of us at risk.”

 

“STOP IT!” Hay Lin snapped, trying to console a sobbing Irma.

 

“All of you stop it,” Ranma snapped, “Will is gone and it's not helping any of you fighting over it. Get over it and move on. You said your guardians of the veil, prove it!”

 

“Do you know Will?” Caleb asked.

 

“It's none of any of your business.” Ranma said, crossing his arms. “Its time for us to get going anyways, we have stuff to do before going back to Metamoor.”

 

Ranma jumped into a ready stance when the door slammed open behind them. Slumping a little and relaxing he looked at the little green creature that sold him the stuff for Will's birthday.

 

“T-Tracker!” it said.

 

“Tracker, what tracker Blunk?” Caleb asked.

 

“FROST!” Blunk cried out in terror.

 

“Where?” Ranma asked, his blood turning cold. He enjoyed humiliating the blue jerk but it usually ended up causing a lot of damage to the surrounding area. On Metamoor it wasn't a problem because it was usually out in the open where nothing really got damaged but they were in the middle of a city where a lot of building could be damaged, homes to a lot of people if they weren't careful.

 

“Follow.” Blunk said hurrying back out of the room with Ranma and Will following closely. A quick look back also showed the others were following as well. A few minutes of running through back alleys found them face to face with an angry looking Frost without his steed.

 

“Finally I've found you two!” Frost snarled, “This time I won't be beaten by you two!”

 

“Blueboy…when are you ever going to give up? You can't beat us.” Ranma said with a sneer. “Why don't you be a good little blueboy and run home to mommy Cedric before we hand you your but again.”

 

“Not this time, not even your whore's little Heart of Candracar will help you now that I have this.” Frost growled as he clenched a glowing pendant around his neck.

 

“Don't you ever talk about her like that!” Ranma growled lunging forward and burying his fist in Frost's stomach. Frost just grinned and backhanded Ranma sending him fly through the air and hit the ground hard.

 

“ENOUGH!” Will screamed, holding out the Heart of Candracar, “Guardians Unite!” Will felt the power surround her and head the others gasp as she changed into her guardian form by herself and faced Frost.

 

“Don't Will, that thing is making him a lot stronger.” Ranma said.

 

“Will?” Irma cried out running towards them but was stopped by Caleb when he grabbed her arm, “Let me go, I have to help Will!”

 

“”It's giving off a lot of heat.” Ranma says while looking at Irma sadly. “We need to use the dragons.”

 

“I…I don't know if I can Ranma.” Will said looking worried.

 

“Believe in yourself Will, I believe in you.” Ranma said taking her hand and looking deep in her eyes.”

 

“O-Okay.” Will says, smiling at Ranma. “Let's do this.”

 

“That's my girl.” Ranma said, “Remember what we went over.”

 

“Right.” Will said as they broke and started to spiral around Frost.

 

“Stand still and fight!” Frost growled striking out at them time and time again.

 

“You remind me of this guy I used to know, all brawn and no brains.” Ranma laughed as Will and himself drew nearer Frost, “NOW!”

 

Ranma and Will both stopped near Frost and pumped their fist into the air while simultaneously crying out, “Hiro Shoten Ha Revised! Twin Dragon Accension!!”

 

Two dragons of energy shot into the air, one pink the other blue, one made from magic while the other made from ki and formed a gian twister sucking Frost up into it. The magic in it kept the everything outside the twister shielded so it didn't get sucked in while adding more attack strength to the ki dragon, it's freezing aura mingling with the intense heat Frost's pendant was giving off creating the intense winds of the twister. Frost was tossed back and forth in the twister hit tie and again by the intense winds and powerful energies feeding the attack until it died out leaving him to plummet to the earth unconscious.

 

Ranma walked up to him with Will and yanked the pendant off his neck with a grin just as Frost started to open his eyes with a groan.

 

“Guess what blueboy, you lost again.” Ranma said as Will giggled.

 

“Will.” Hay Lin sad softly, as if she was trying to figure out if it was all a dream.

 

“Lets go Ranma.” Will said looking at him.

 

“Will…you should at least talk to them…” Ranma whispered.

 

“Please, Ranma.” Will pleaded.

 

“Okay Will, if your sure.” Ranma said. With Will's nod the disappeared under the Umi Sin Ken.

 

“WILL!” Irma half screamed, half sobbed as she faded from view.
