Summary: The girls go on a fight against Nerissa in one of the most unexpected places. Now one of the boys other than Matt find out about their secret. How will he react? And how will one of the gang react to this too? Please Read and Review.
The gang had just come out of a portal and they landed in the Heatherfeild Observatory. The W.I.T.C.H had just come back from a battle with Nerissa and her allies. Now the girls know that they were successfully able to keep her and her army in some kind of prison. They were extremely tired, it was late in the afternoon in Heatherfeild, and it was getting dark. When they were about to exit the observatory they soon found out that what they concluded was wrong, because they saw the last person that they wanted to see…
"Hello there girls did you miss me?" she asked in a sly tone
"Nerissa! H-how could you have escaped?!" asked Will
"Oh please, did you really think that, that useless prison you put me in would keep me there and I wouldn't be able to get out? Don't make me laugh!" said Nerissa
"What are we supposed to do now Will?" asked Cornelia
Will was also thinking, knowing Nerissa she wouldn't care if they fought here on earth in fact if they did fight here Nerissa would have the upper hand, because if they were seen transforming by other people they'd be done for and their secret would surely be exposed. Soon Will finally spoke up.
"Sorry you guys, but we have no other choice. We have to fight her.," said Will
"Fight her? Right here? But Will we're in a Observatory remember, if we do that we'll end up breaking everything here." said Taranee
"Then we'll just have to take it outside." said Will
"Are you nuts?! What if someone sees us?" asked Irma
"Yeah Will, no one other than Matt knows about our secret." said Hay Lin (A/N: I'm not sure if he knew already at that time, but please if not imagine that he did. I wasn't able to read from the very beginning and I missed a few issues so I'm not so sure.)
"We'll just have to stay hidden and try not to cause a huge commotion, lets try to go behind this building I think it's big enough as long as we don't end up breaking anything." said Will "Come on let's go guys!"
Therefore, the gang along with Nerissa went outside and as planned, they did not stay far from the observatory. When they were out they soon transformed and soon the battle with Nerissa began. The girls started to attack Nerissa and give it all they've got, but since they just came from a recent battle they were easily tired and worn out.
"Oh come on now girls, is that really all that you've got?" she asked in a teasing tone
"Will this is getting us nowhere…" said Hay Lin the fact that she and the other girls were already tired and panting hard.
Truth be told Will knew that Hay had a point, their previous battle was tiring enough for them, then after that Nerissa suddenly show up and ambushes them when they least expect it. But even after all that Will knew that she couldn't just give up not now, so she still told the others to fight. "Come on guys just keep trying…"
"We'll just end up getting tired if we keep going like this…" said Cornelia almost out of breath.
Somewhere near the Observatory Matt Olsen was taking a walk around and heard the noise. So Matt decided to go see what was going on, then when he got there he saw the fight and didn't like it one bit. The girls were too busy fighting that they didn't notice Matt was there.
"You won't get away with this Nerissa…." Will was about to say more when… "AHHHHH!!" Nerissa hit her.
"WILL!!" yelled Matt, he finally came out after he saw what happened and came rushing over to Will's side.
"Matt? What are you doing here?" asked Will weakly, shocked to see Matt there.
"That doesn't matter right now. Are you alright?" he asked her
"Yeah I think so…," replied Will
Then their moment was interrupted "Aw…how sweet, it's a shame that I have to dispose of you Will." said Nerissa then she continued "Unless of course you choose to surrender and give me the Heart."
"No! I'll never do that." yelled Will
"Very well then…" Nerissa was about to strike when…BOOM! she got hit from behind and fell to the ground
"You seem to have forgotten about us Nerissa," said Irma "She's not your only enemy you know, you've got four more."
"Get away from Will." yelled Hay Lin
"No body hurts are friend and gets away with it." said Cornelia
"Thanks guys." said Will
Will saw that Nerissa was about to get up and turned to Matt. "You should get out of here Matt it's too dangerous and you might end up getting hurt."
"No way Will I can't just leave you here fighting with her." said Matt
"…" Will was stunned to hear that Matt was willing to stay to protect her even if the odds of Matt getting hurt was really high
Once again, their moment was disrupted this time by Irma's voice "Hey love birds! Do you mind having the heart to heart talk a little later we need help here."
"Yeah Will, you two can talk again later but now would you mind helping us out?" asked Taranee
"R-right." said Will she was blushing from Irma's comment
"Matt why don't you go and make sure that no one sees us like this. Keep an eye out for people coming this way." said Cornelia
"That's a good idea Cornelia." said Taranee "That way we can make sure to get out if ever someone's coming."
"Alright be careful you guys." said Matt
"Yeah you too Matt." said Will
As the fight with Nerissa went on, Matt went near the entrance of the observatory to make sure that no one was there and that the girls would not be seen by anyone else in the area. A few blocks away from the observatory, Eric Lyndon was walking his way home, when he suddenly heard noises coming from the area where the observatory was this made Eric really curios.
"I wonder what's causing all that noise. I better go check it out, something might have been broken in the observatory." thought Eric then he soon rushed his way to the Heatherfeild Observatory.
At first Matt didn't see anyone passing by and thought that until the girls were done no one would. Since it was getting really late he didn't expect anyone to go to a observatory since it was already closed. However, he was soon proven wrong….
"E-Eric??" asked Matt in shock
Eric was tired from running all the way then he noticed that Matt was there…
"Matt?" asked Eric
"What are you doing here?" they both asked at the same time
"Well I…" Matt was getting nervous especially since he knew that the girls were still near the area fighting with Nerissa
"I was walking around near here when I heard some strange noises coming from this area and decided to see what was going on. I thought that something might have happened here in the Observatory…I wouldn't want my grandfather getting mad and everything." explained Eric then he asked "What about you Matt, what brings you here?"
"Well….." Matt was getting really nervous now "I need to think of an excuse quick and I need to get Eric out of here." he thought
This left Eric really confused. Why was Matt here? What was he doing? And why is he getting really nervous? These were the questions in Eric's head.
Meanwhile with the W.I.T.C.H gang…
The girls were REALLY tired now and Nerissa was laughing hard
"Please girls why don't you just give it up? How much longer do you think you can possibly keep dodging my attacks?" she asked
"Will I don't know how long we can keep this up." said Cornelia
"She's right we have to attack her somehow." said Taranee
"Look I'm thinking of a plan okay…just give me more time." said Will, she knew that if they don't act soon they'll end up loosing the Heart.
"If only this was the only battle we had today, we would still have all our energy left." said Irma
"Not to mention we have to avoid destroying anything too, since we're near the observatory." said Hay Lin
"Come on girls, will you give up." said Nerissa it did seem hard for them to win now. it might need a miracle to happen.
Matt on the other hand had his own problems…
"Um hey Matt, I have to check the observatory for a while okay." said Eric
"Well…" then Matt thought for a second "The girls weren't on the INSIDE, so I guess it's fine right?"
"Matt you still there?" asked Eric
"Huh? Oh yeah…hey would you mind if I went with you?" asked Matt
"Well no I guess not." said Eric
"Thanks." said Matt "Good so I can keep an eye on him." thought Matt
Inside the Heatherfeild Observatory
"Well everything seems to be pretty normal to me." said Eric
"Yeah" agreed Matt although he knew that beyond this was anything but normal
"Hey Matt, have you seen Will lately?" asked Eric
"Huh? Um…why do you ask?" asked Matt he didn't expect Eric to bring up a topic about the girls, especially at a time like this and he wasn't prepared to answer any of them either.
"Well I was calling Hay Lin and she wasn't answering her phone. I tried calling her at home and her parents said that she wasn't home yet. I'm getting worried and I'm wondering if she was with Will and the others, I just want to know she's okay I mean it's not like her not to answer calls." said Eric
"Oh…I see." said Matt "So he's worried about Hay…Well if Eric knew what was going on he'd be really worried." thought Matt, then he spoke "I'm sure she's fine Eric…I think that she's just hanging out with Will and the others." Again Matt lied, because from the way things were from his point of view they weren't okay right now.
"Yeah I guess you're right." said Eric calmly, but Matt can see that he was still worried about Hay Lin
Back with the Girls
"Guys I have a plan. We can't beat Nerissa at this state, we'll do it some other time." said Will
"Then how do we get out of this mess?" asked Irma
"Well send her back through a portal or something," said Will
"How she's watching our every move right now. We can't even make a move unnoticed." said Hay Lin
"Look just distract her as long as you can .give me time to open up a portal." said Will
"Whatever you say Will, lets just hope that this works." said Cornelia
As the four girls distracted Nerissa, will was gathering strength to open up at least a portal to take Nerissa to another world. They were successful in doing so later on, but before the portal sucked in Nerissa, she was able to strike the girls one more time…
"AHHHHHH!!"
The scream of the five girls weren't left unnoticed. In fact, both Matt and Eric heard it
"What was that?" asked Eric, he and Matt were about to leave the Observatory when the scream was heard
"Oh no…the girls…" whispered Matt with worry in his voice, he was particularly worried about Will
"What?" asked Eric
"WILL!!" yelled Matt as he dashed out of the observatory and to the area where the girls were
Matt was too overpowered by his worry about Will's safety that he forgot that Eric was right behind him and he also forgot the fact that if he didn't stop something was going to happen….
"Will!" yelled Matt as he rushed over to Will's side
He saw the girls all beaten on the ground trying to slowly get up with each others help.
"Will are you okay?" asked Matt worriedly
"Yeah I'm fine…but Nerissa…we let her escape…she'll come back soon." said Will
"We have to be ready next time." said Taranee
As they all got up…Matt suddenly remembered the presence of his companion and this sent an uneasy feeling down his spine.
"Will I'm sorry…" said Matt
"Huh? About what, you didn't do anything wrong…" said Will confused not knowing about the situation
"Well I did and you about to see what…" replied Matt still not looking behind him
"What are you talking about?!" asked Irma
Later their questions were all answered by a soft voice from near the area…
"H-Hay Lin…?? W-Will??" asked no other than Eric
As the girls turned around to see Eric all of them grew wide eyed and as for Hay Lin this was the time she wasn't so glad that Eric was there…
"E-Eric…Wh-what are you…??" asked Hay Lin not knowing what to say, not because of excitement but mainly because she was afraid of how Eric would react seeing all this…considering they were still in their guardian forms…
"M-Matt weren't you…s-s-supposed t-to k-keep watch?" asked Cornelia
"I know and I was too, until I heard you all scream and got worried so…" said Matt
"So you forgot that Eric was with you?!" said Irma in an almost yelling tone
"Come on Irma it's not his fault." said Taranee
"How do we explain this to him then?!" asked Irma referring to Eric
"I don't know…" said Will
Before any of them had to utter another word Hay Lin spoke up…
"Look guys…I-I h-have to go…." with those said she let not taking another glance at the others mainly at Eric who was still pretty shocked and frozen on the spot. While the others had a chance to follow she was gone. Irma tried stopping her, but was told to leave Hay alone for now. The one thing that they were worried about now was…How the heck are we gonna explain all this to Eric?!
