This is a little something I've been meaning to do for a while. Start the fic.

Haylin's grandmother opened the door to see an old man with a very long beard. However, despite his age he was very well built.

"John, nice to see you again. I'm glad you got my call." Said Haylin's grandma.

"I came over as soon as I could. And might I say, you're looking as lovely as ever." Said John winking at her.

This made her giggle like a young school girl as she refused to look at him.

"Cheeky devil!" giggled Haylin's grandma.

Luckily before the two could continue to flirt a certain wind guardian walked in on John kissing her grandma's hand causing her to giggle.

"Hey grandma what…EW! Stop flirting with my grandma!" said Haylin.

"Haylin! This man almost became your grandpa at one time!" said her grandma.

"EWWW!" said Haylin.

"Ahem, but I am afraid she's right, I uh have some business with your grandma to settle." Said John.

"Follow me." Said Haylin's grandmother.

Haylin gave a silent prayer that grandmother wouldn't do anything that a teenager would do and went out to meet her friends.

John followed the elderly woman to what appeared to be a dead end.

"Is anyone looking?" asked the former guardian.

John quickly looked behind him and said "Nope. Not a soul."

"Good."

She pushed a small square on the wall and a secret door opened that only she knew about. Not even her family or the other guardians knew about this door.

The two went down a long stair case until they reached another dead end. She pressed one of the bricks like a button and it slid out to reveal it was hollowed within. However, the really remarkable thing was that was a golden glow coming from inside.

"You were right to call me Mrs. Lin. This can only mean one thing." Said John.

"You don't mean what I think you mean do you?"

"I'm afraid so. Just as there were new guardians chosen to protect the veil, there have now been new warriors chosen to fight for the veil." Said John.

He reached in and pulled out a golden arrow head.

"Sigh. I'm getting too old to pulled back into this stuff." Said John.

"You're preaching to the choir buddy."

"Well I got certain five teenagers in mind who might fit the bill on who the next guardian is but I can't necessarily know for sure until I bring the golden arrowhead in front of them." Said John.

"Exactly who are these teenagers?"

Meanwhile in high school from a neighbor city, one older brother looked on at the athletic field with a smile. He was the eldest by two years of the five brothers, His name was Victor, he had red hair and always looked out for his brothers.

Down on the football field, Adam was trying out the new play as a quarterback. He wasn't the oldest but he had the most muscle mass for sure. He had brown hair and always had more brawn to spare.

"Blue 22! Blue 22! Green 27! Hut! Hut! Hike!" shouted Adam.

It was just practice but that didn't mean that Adam wasn't going to give it his all. Adam faked throwing the ball and plowed through a couple of blockers and actually jumped to the field goal.

Victor rubbed his eyes to make sure they weren't deceiving him. That jump was longer than humanly possible.

Down at the track that surrounded the football field was the track team's number 1 runner Lance. Even though he was as old as his other brothers, with the exception of Victor, he was considered the youngest because he was the most shy.

When the coach told him he could start Lance shot off like a bullet. Victor once again rubbed his eyes, Lance was always fast but he was never that fast. But he put it out of his mind as the coach started to congratulate him on beating the school record.

In the science wing that just over looked the outside was Oscar. He might have been the scrawniest but he was most assuredly the smartest. Hell, even Victor went to him for help on his homework, not something he was too proud of considering he was older. However, just because he was smart did not mean he took things lying down, you piss him off and you'll be pranked so fast you won't know what hit you…although with his glasses on he did kind of look like an owl sometimes.

Then there was Rodger…he was always kind of a loner but still held tight family bonds with his brothers. He always wants people to think he's some sort of tough guy but on the inside he was really just a big softy. His brothers loved to tease him about it.

After Lance and Adam were done with practice the five brothers left the high school.

"So where'd you guys want to go this time?" asked Rodger.

"Let's go to John's for some burgers and hot dogs." Said Oscar.

"Hold up guys! Haven't you noticed anything weird going on today?" asked Victor.

The four brothers looked at each other then at their eldest.

"What do you mean Vic?" asked Lance.

"It's just that…oh forget it! Come on and let's go!" said Victor.

However, when they got to the fast food restaurant labeled 'John's Grill' they found a sign that said it was closed because he was out of town.

"Out of town? But John is never out of town!" said Adam.

"Oh well, nothing we can do about it except go home and hope he's here tomorrow." Said Victor.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Later that night…

Oscar was practically bouncing off the walls.

"Oscar! Have you been into the sugar again!" asked Victor.

"Nope! But for some reason I'm feeling VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY active!" said Oscar.

Victor looked at the clock and saw that it read 11:00.

"Sigh. It's too late at night for me to deal with this. I'm going to bed, I suggest you do the same!" said Victor.
