"My worst nightmare? As if."

"Who are you?" Harry asks.

"I am Darkstar," He bows dramatically as if he was a performer.

"How did you find this place?" Ella asks.

"Why, I created this place. How could I not find it?" Darkstar laughs and kept explaining. "The story about Emperor Hades' grandfather is something they came up with to keep the truth from everyone. They couldn't have everyone knowing that a dark angel saved the old king of Oceana."

"Enough with the history lesson," Brooke yells. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to take back what's rightfully mine, the title of the Guardian of Air," Darkstar's once smirking face turned into a sneer.

"That's impossible, the Eller's choose who gets to be a guardian. You can't just take the title," Brooke says.

"You can if it was originally yours," Darkstar says. "You see, the Ellers had chosen me as the Air Guardian, years ago. I gave them a suggestion they didn't like and they rid me of my title. I told them I would get my revenge, and I am here to do that. Starting with you, Brookelyn."

"You're not going anywhere near her," Ella speaks up.

"Ah, the Water Guardian, you're out of your element. Even with this beautiful waterfall, you aren't as strong as you could be. Harry, however, would be very strong. If only he knew how to properly control his new powers," Darkstar laughs. "None of you stand a chance against me."

"We'll see about that," Ella says.

Ella pulls a large amount of water and holds it up in the sky. One by one, she turns the water into ice and shoots them as shards. Darkstar creates an air bubble around himself that deflects the ice. Ella keeps attacking while Brook and Harry stand on either side of Darkstar.

"Formation 3!" Harry yells.

The three guardians put their hands out on either side of themselves to form a shield around themselves with Darkstar in the middle. Harry starts to increase the amount of fire in the shield, heating up the inside. Ella starts to waver but holds the shield steady. Harry controls the fire to surround Darkstar, stopping him from moving.

The fire almost covered him enough to knock him out but it got blasted away instead. Ella quickly pulled water from the pond to cover herself. The guardians fell to the ground, groaning from pain.

"You forget Guardian, air can very easily help fire expand. Did you really think your silly formation could help you?" Darkstar laughs. "I told you you can't do anything to me."

"We need to get out of here," Holt says through their telepathic link.

"If we leave without stopping him he could hurt others," Ella responds.

"What can we do?" Brooke asks.

"Let's try formation 4," Ella says.

"Ella, no. You'll hurt yourself more than anything, there's not enough water," Harry says.

"Trust me. Holt, we're gonna need you too," Ella says. All the guardians stand up and surround Darkstar again.

"You want more?" Darkstar chuckles. "I've got more to give."

The guardians create another shield around their enemy. Ella starts pulling water into the shield as they strengthen their cover.

"You can't win, Guardian!" Darkstar yells over the wind blowing within the shield.

Instead of listening to him, Ella moves the water around him, trapping him. She starts to crystalize the water as it gets closer to Darkstar, trapping him under a layer of ice. Everything stops when Darkstar is covered, unable to move. The shield is put down and the guardians let out a sigh of relief.

"Do you think he's dead?" Brooke asks.

"Yes, Brooke. With a little bit of ice, the first dark angel in the history of the world froze to death," Ella responds.

"Oh really?" Brooke mocks.

"We need to lock him up somewhere that can hold him," Holt says.

"Is there anywhere we can safely lock him up?" Harry asks.

"We need to talk to Emperor Hades. He probably knows a place to put him," Ella suggests.

Ella and Holt work together to move Darkstar's frozen body to the castle. As they near, guards come out to meet them along with Emperor Hades and Empress Persophone.

"Who is this?" Persophone asks.

"Darkstar," Achak tells them.

The emperor and empress look at each other with a worried look. Hades talks to the guards and sends them around the castle to the back.

"Where are they going?" Harry asks.

"There is a secret dungeon behind the castle, underground. It's protected with spells cast by the most powerful witches and wizards. I'm going to call a meeting with the other rulers, I would like you all to be there. We must discuss what to do with him," Hades leaves to his throne room to call everyone.

"Come children," Persophone ushers them inside and up to their rooms. "Get the guardians cleaned and dressed within the hour."

"Hades," King Irving speaks as everyone settles down. "What is the meaning of this sudden meeting?"

"My friend, I can assure you that this is important," Hades takes a deep breath before continuing. "Darkstar has escaped. He attacked the Guardians but they were able to stop him. He is currently in the private dungeons, guards are always at his side."

"How did he escape?" "What is he doing here?" "Is he going to kill us?"

Murmurs spread like wildfire. Everyone came up with their own idea of what Darkstar was intending to do. They all stopped when Emperor Hades shushed them.

"I can assure you that you are in no harm. The private dungeon is protected by the most powerful witches and wizards. He cannot escape from there," Emperor Hades continued to speak with the other rulers about what to do with their new prisoner.

"Guys," Brooke whispers to her friends. She gestures for them to leave the room quietly. When they are outside they talk freely. "I did some reading on this guy while the maids were doing my hair."

"Of course you did," Harry jokes.

"Haha," Brooke says in a monotone voice. "Anyways, everything that's written about this guy always says he was a master of manipulation. He put kingdom against kingdom, caused civil wars in almost all parts of the world. All just by talking his way through everything."

"He sounds like Hitler's father," Ella rolls her eyes.

"If he can do all of that, what's to say this wasn't his plan," Harry continues after getting his friends' attention. "Think about it. If his escape is known, no matter where he was, the kings and queens would have to meet to discuss what to do with him. They would have to keep them somewhere believed to be very secure but also close so they can watch over him. How do we know he's actually frozen down there and not just faking everything so he can get all the important figures of the world into one place and kill them all."

"I always forget you're one of the rational ones," Holt murmurs.

"What can we do? Let's say what you're saying is right, why hasn't he done anything yet?" Ella asks.

"Because he needed us out of the room," Holt realizes.

They all run back into the meeting room and interrupt the argument that was going on.

"What is it, Guardians?" King Orion asks.

"This was all a trick. We played right into his hands, he wanted you all in one place so he could kill all of you at once," Harry explains.

"I thought Guardian Ella froze him?" Queen Veronica questions.

"He didn't break out of the ice because he needed to get close," Ella says. She turns around after hearing a large bang. "He's coming."

"Who's coming?" Princess Esther enters the room.

"Why," Darkstar's voice turns heads. "You're worst nightmare, darling."

"My worst nightmare?" Ella scoffs. "As if."
