Shadow Guardians - Genesis by Albert Long Page B

with the Soulcatchers,” Miguel said. “You can’t,” yelled Mimi. “Matt is a good soul. He really cares about being a guardian. I’m just a selfish rebel in the middle of a battle for all that matters. Maybe it’s best that I be removed as a potential asset for the Tarrons,” Miguel said. “I know where the one called Matt has been taken, Orin said, now fully sanding. Surrender, and I will lead Fozolorne to the boy,” he said to Miguel. “No” shouted Mimi and Jericho in unison. “I will stay here in the hands of the Soulcatchers while you, Fozzley, and Mimi rescue Mattt,” Miguel said. “Do as I say,” he commanded. No harm will come to me. If I am this “chosen one”, they fear me far more than I them. Besides, I’m sure that they do not want me to summon The Six for a battle,” Orin huffed to himself. Mimi, Jericho, and Fozzley took to the skies, awaiting Orin to join them. “After you,” Fozzley said to Orin. “Jordin, you and the remaining Soulcatchers keep the boy here. I will return shortly.
    Fozzley, Mimi, and Jericho Orin ascended straight upward for several minutes, and then they headed west. I can sense his death trail—the Soulcatcher who took Matt, not Matt,” Mimi said. “Yes we’re on the right tracks,” Fozzley said. Back at the site where Miguel was being held by Clause and Melay, the skies grew dark. Just moments ago, not a cloud was in the sky. The ocean swelled. Six flaming balls of fire approached from the sky at supersonic speeds. “Supreme One, please no,” shouted Jordin. “The Six,” he screamed. Caroth, Krizel, and the others reigned down on the Soulcatchers. Jordin fell, and his boy disappeared. Melay fell, and her body disappeared. Clause was nowhere to be found, apparently abandoning his team to save his life. Miguel turned his form to pure energy and waited. The Tarrons landed, kneeled before Miguel, and sang. “At last our leader is among us,” Krizel cheered. “What is it that you want from me,” Miguel asked. “Your loyal subjects await your instructions, Caroth said. “You will need the proper training to master your powers”. “What of the earth-bound Angels and your desire to end their days or your plans to enslave all others on the earth,” Miguel asked. “There is much suffering in this world, Miguel,” Krizel said. The Sev…Six want to end that. Earth Angels have done nothing to make this world better. Children suffer every day. They have failed humanity. When we begin making the world better, we do not need their opposition or interference. Their destruction is the only solution,” Krizel said. “You eliminated all of the Soulcatchers,” Miguel asked. “Orin, Claus, and Fidex remain,” Krizel said. “If we are to save your friend, Matt, then we must go now,” Krizel said.
    Miguel, knew he couldn’t defeat all of them alone. He had to save Matt. Becoming one of the Six did not appeal to Miguel. For now, however, he needed their help to free Matt. Miguel flew in formation with the Tarrons, following Krizel. He didn’t know what was to come next.
    CHAPTER FIFTEEN: WADING IN SOULS
    “Where is he taking us,” Mimi asked. “There can be no other place,” Fozzley said. “We’re going to Climlos—the transitional place where souls are taken before they are judged and leave this world”. “I know you feel angry at me and betrayed. My mission was to be known only between me and the Supreme One,” Fozzley said. “I love all of you, and I have no intentions to harm you. I had to find Matt. Once I found you, him, and Jericho,” Fozzley said to Mimi, I knew that you were noble and good. I’ve spent every night since meeting you trying to figure our how to insure Miguel is not corrupted by the Six and that you continue your noble missions as the Shadow Guardians.
    “A lot of people die every day,” Jericho mused, looking down at the line that was slowly moving to judgment and eternal assignment. “This must be Climlos, but there’s
