Heatherfield, Connecticut -
"Come on, Will we'll be late," Susan Vandom said to her daughter as they were called to come to her school.
"I'm coming," Will said as she follows her mom to the car. She has no idea why the school called about a parent and teacher meeting after school.
Once they got to the school Will blink seeing that they're not the only ones who were called. All of her friends are there at the school as well. Irma is there with her parents, Anna, Tom, and her little brother Chris. Taranee's parents Lionel and Theresa. Cornelia's parents Harold, Elizabeth and her little sister Lillian. And Hay Lin's parents Chen and Joan.
"Hey you're all here too?" Will ask after running up to her friends.
"All of our parents got a call from school to come here to talk about us," Cornelia said.
"This is strange," Taranee said.
A beam of light struck all five girls and quickly faded revealing them unharmed. The light came from three men all dress in black, one with red hair, dark hair and a blonde. The redhead is holding a strange hand held device in his hand from where the light came from.
"Looks like it only works when they're using magic," the redhead said looking over the device in his hands.
"So much for the easy way," the dark haired man said.
"What's going on here?" Tom said having seen the light struck his daughter and friends like the rest of the parents had seen.
"Get the kids," the redhead said to the dark haired man.
The dark haired man ran faster than anyone could follow, but he wasn't running at Will and her friends. The man ran towards the parents and grabbed both Chris and Lillian before any of the parents could stop him. He quickly ran back to his two friends, placing the two kids in front of him.
The blonde hand glowed as he place it on the car belonging to Taranee's parents. The car shattered into pieces leaving nothing but a pile of parts, causing everyone to gasp in shock at the display of power. He walks up to the two kids and place his hands on top of their heads.
"Transform or, I'll show what happens when I do the same to their heads," the blonde said. (1)
Will look at the others, both Irma and Cornelia had pale faces upon seeing their brother and sister in danger. Both Taranee and Hay Lin both nodded to her. Will pulls out The Heart of Kandrakar and in front of all of their parents she and her friends transformed.
"Guardians Unite!" Will shouted as magical energy engulfs all of them transforming them from preteens into teenagers about 17 to 20. Surprising their parents seeing them aging up into older teenagers and having wings on their backs.
The redhead used the device again on the 5 girls and this time it worked. The girls felt the magic leaving them transforming them back to the normal selves, the girls all feel to the ground having their powers leave them. The dark haired man ran to the girls and grabbed the pendent and ran back with it in hand.
"Cornelia!" Lillian shouted out seeing her sister hurt.
"What's with the girl?" the blonde said jumping back as her body began glowing with magical energies.
Lillian gave out a scream as she released a burst of energy from her body knocking all three men away from her and Chris.
"She's the Heart of Earth, looks like we have awakened her untapped potential for immense magical powers," the red haired man said picking himself up.
"We need to leave," the dark haired man said as he opens a portal.
The 3 men ran into the portal and it closed behind them. Leaving the weaken guardians and their parents to deal with Lillian who still is glowing with energy. Who is quickly losing control of her powers as a crowd is gathering around them with their phones out taking pictures and recording.

Elsewhere -
The 3 men came out of the portal inside a cabin in the woods. Waiting for them is Uniscorn who is with Jeek a passling who is the one who gave Uniscorn all the information he was able to gather on the guardians. And also got his hands on the Mage Ring that he went to Meridian to steal.
The 3 men that were sent to collect the magic from the guardians and The Heart of Kandrakar are the remaining members of the Wizards of the Black Circle.
Ogron with the red hair he possesses the power to absorb energy, or even turn damage into power.
Anagan with the dark hair and possesses the power of super speed.
Gantlos with the long blonde hair and a hat and is similar in appearance to Freddy Krueger. He can create sound waves or seismic waves.
"The earth guardian being the sister of the heart of earth was unexpected," Uniscorn said.
"Why did you call us back?" Anagan asked.
"You drew too much attention, you all were suppose to have waited for them to be in the school before you made your move. And also because of this," Uniscorn said turning on the tv to show the news channel.
On the tv screen the young girl Lillian is still glowing with power as her sister and parents are trying to get her to calm down. The leader of the guardians is searching the ground and pick up the pendant that Anagan had dropped. She tries to open a portal but it didn't work, she runs to Lillian and had her hold the pendent hoping that it would be recharged by her magic. She tries again and this time a portal opens up. The guardians and their parents walk into it, with Lillian's father carrying her through.
"You drop the heart as well. Please tell me that finding you three and breaking you all out of that prison those fairies left you in, was worth the effort," Uniscorn said.
"Here," Ogron said offering the device which was taken out of his hand and brought to Uniscorn's hand.
"Good, now for your payment," Uniscorn said as he summons a chest that is full of gold items ranging from rings to watches.
"Where's ours?" Anagan asked.
"Jeek here unlike you actually did his job and didn't drop the item he was sent to get," Uniscorn said.
"Better luck next time," Jeek said as he took his reward and left the cabin.
"As for you three, I should only give you all just half of what, I promise you but I may need your help again," Uniscorn said as he summons another chest with it revealing it hold many spells and magical items stolen from the fairies. "All the magical items and spells you three need to get back on your feet."
"We're even now," Ogron said.
"We are but as, I said I might need your aid later,' Uniscorn said teleporting away.

Kingdom of Meridian -
In the meeting hall the guardians and their families, Yan Lin and her younger magical clone of her had come from Earth to explain things, bringing along Taranee's brother Peter so that everyone be there. Yan explained everything to the family about the girls being magical guardians and been helping to defend this magical world from danger. (2)
"All this time and you never told us?" Joan asked his mother.
"It was better that you all didn't know," Yan said.
"This explains all the strange reports the station has been getting," Tom said.
"I never understood the whole keep things secret from those who are close to you. I understand the reason why but why keep all of this a secret from us? You girls think we would go and tell everyone about this?" Lionel asked.
"What happen is already all over the news stations and online," Peter said.
"And we're going to have tons of reporters around and government agents all over us," Cornelia said.
"One of the reason why we kept this a secret," Irma said.
"What about Lillian?" Elizabeth asked worried as she was taken to be treated for her power surge.
"Elyon is helping in containing her power with the Council of Kandrakar. At her age her body is simply unable to handle that much power she has," Will said.
"Will who were those men? More of the villains you and the girls have been facing?" Susan asked.
"We never faced them before," Taranee said.
The door open and the Oracle enters the room.
"We managed to get her power under control and now fitting her with a power limiter to keep her from using her powers again. And the heart is fully powered again," the Oracle said handing the pendent to Will.
"That's great news," Cornelia said.
"You have any idea who the 3 creeps that attack us?" Hay Lin asked.
"They're members of the Black Circle," the Oracle said.
"Who?" Irma asked.
"Powerful wizards who once in the past captured most of the fairies of Earth, stealing their magic," the Oracle said.
"Wait fairies?" Taranee asked.
"There are other worlds and other groups who use magic," Yan said.
"Wait why we never seen them before?" Will asked.
"They have their own troubles as we have our own. We do our best not to interact with each other," the Oracle said.
"Well these Black Circle wizards decided not to follow those rules," Tom said.
"I need to get in contact with an old friend of mine. Faragonda who is the headmistress of Alfea, a school for fairies. As for you guardians you have much to talk about with your families," the Oracle said taking his leave and leaving the guardians to handle their parents who have much to talk about with them.

Author's Notes -
1 - This is the reason why heroes hide who they are. Also that the villains who know really don't go and attack the heroes family or make them give up what they're after.
2 - The W.I.T.C.H. cartoon series.
