"That's the last of them." Will said after she finished zapping the last of the Lurdens that were attacking a small village about two hours away from the castle. Elyon had asked them for aid since she was busy stopping another squadron of Lurdens that were attacking the castle itself.

"Not quite. Now!" Cornelia called when Will had turned to look for more enemies, trusting her friends to watch her back. Something which was a very grave mistake. A blast of fire to her back had Will crying out in pain as the back of her Guardian top was burned away, leaving bad blisters and burns on her back as well as frying her wings.

"Wha-" Will managed to ask weakly as Hay-lin caught her with a smirk on her face when Will fell from the sky because her wings were now useless.

"Nice one Tara. You burned her wings to stubs! She used to fly like a chicken and now she has the wings to match." Hay-lin gave a dark giggle as she looked at Will's now gone wings. There were just a small stub of what looked like bones left of them.

"Let's hurry up and finish this. I don't want to have to look at or deal with Miss Perfect Keeper any longer than I have to." Cornelia said with a sneer, making Hay-lin grin and begin to spin in place with Will still in her arms.

"Remember to make it look mostly natural." Irma said with a snicker as Hay-lin used her air powers and momentum to slam Will into the side of the cliff they had been fighting near. Will hit the cliff side hard/and fell to the ground hard enough to leave a crater. Her bones were definitely broken from that. Will only felt pain as her eyes closed, she was in too much pain to move or open her eyes as the others landed near her.

"So just a bit of water to drown her in just in case..." Irma said putting an inch or two of water in the hole where Will lay. They couldn't tell if she was unconscious or dead so it was better safe than sorry. They only had this one chance at this after all and if they failed...

"Now to make it look like an accident." Cornelia said grinning as she used her powers over Earth to shake some of the rocks loose from the cliff and fall on top of Will. By the time the blonde was done and the dust had lifted Will was almost completely buried under the rocks with just a single arm showing clad in a pink sleeve.

"Shouldn't we have gotten the Heart from her before we buried her? How are we going to go back to Earth or change back to normal without it?" Hay-lin asked even as she watched the rocks for a few minutes and noting the blood starting to stain Will's sleeve.

"Even with its Keeper dead only the Oracle can take the Heart by force remember? Let's get Elyon to open a fold to Kandrakar and tell them the tragic news." Taranee said causing the others to nod and begin to fly, only for Cornelia to stop and look back at the blood stained sleeve and unmoving arm sticking out from the rocks.

"Hold on a second." Cornelia said as she flew back down and walked over to the arm, ripping the sleeve off.

"Without proof Elyon might try to dig Will out. Now let's go see our dear friend the queen. We need to tell her about the accident." Cornelia said smirking darkly as she led the way back to the palace, none of them aware of the witnesses that had hidden in the bush and seen everything. None of them turned back to look a second time at what they had done.

If they had they might have seen the five shadows attached to nothing moving towards the buried Will who was still barely alive. They never heard, not even Hay-lin with her super hearing, the inhuman growls in the area as a cave was unburied by the rocks Cornelia had used.

They never knew until it was far too late that they had just made the biggest mistake of their lives.
