Prologue
Summer was boring.
At least, most summers were. Sure, school wasn't the most exciting thing in the world, but after a month or two of freedom from any and all responsibility, many of the teenagers in Feldnaut City started to get a little antsy. At one point, Rob Anthony thought he could actually try—ugh—getting a summer job. At least it would keep him out of trouble.
So much for that theory. He got a job, all right, but it wasn't one he was expecting—no vacation time, no health benefits...in fact, the job was more detrimental to his health than anything.
But there were some perks. The work was exciting. He got plenty of exercise. His co-workers were pretty cool.
The people he worked with, though—or against, as the case was—left a lot to be desired. He reflected on that fact as he jumped out of the way of the giant mechanical foot that crashed into the ground with deafening impact. He scrambled to his feet, brushed the dust off of his body armor, and looked around for support. “Okay, uh, a little help here, guys.”
His four armor-clad friends gathered around him, two boys, two girls, all roughly seventeen years old.
“What's the matter, you haven't finished this guy yet?” asked Wyn, his tall, pointy blond hair bobbing up and down in the wind.
“Well, he is a little big,” Rob said.
All five gazed up at the mechanical monstrosity standing before them. It met their gaze. They were used to fighting monsters of various types, but robots were fairly uncommon, especially ones that were over twelve feet tall.
“I'd say that's kind of an understatement, Rob,” said Chip, adjusting his glasses in the hopes that perhaps the creature wasn't as big as it appeared to him.
“The Dimensional Guardians must be destroyed!” the monster's voice boomed. “Arcado will destroy you for the glory of Lord Clonar!”
“Boy, have we heard that line a lot,” said Tami, twirling one of the auburn strands of hair that dangled in front of her face.
Rob flashed one of his signature smirks. “No kidding. It's one thing to say it, big guy, but let's see you pull it off, huh?”
With a mighty roar, Arcado smashed his foot into the street. The ground twisted and heaved as giant cracks danced throughout the concrete. The other Dimensional Guardians jumped away as a giant chasm opened up in the middle of the street. Rob, being closest, had no time to move out of the way. But before he could tumble helplessly into the pit, he was whisked into the air.
“Hey, thanks, Brittany,” he said as he clung tightly to the long-haired girl's hand. “I owe ya one.”
“No biggie,” she replied.
Arcado swiped at her with his massive clawed hand.
“Okay, now it's a biggie!”
“Don't sweat it, I got him. Laser Blast!” The end of Rob's arm cannon pulsed and hummed with energy. With a glorious burst, a jet of yellow laser energy streaked out of the cannon and struck Arcado's hand, causing him to rear back in pain.
“Dimensional Guardians!” the bot yelled.
Wyn leaped at Arcado. “That's what they call us. Guardian Punch!” With a wave of his fist, a flurry of bright orange energy sailed from his clenched fist and crashed into Arcado's face. A storm of sparks rained down as Arcado roared again.
Brittany set Rob down. “Nice one, Wyn,” he said. “We got ol' robo-butt on the ropes, guys.”
“Not quite!” Arcado said, energy formulating from his mouth. “Power Surge!” A massive beam of deadly energy too large to avoid came down on Rob and Wyn, sending them careening through the air. “You'll never be able to stop me!” the robot roared in premature triumph.
Brittany hovered in front of Arcado's face. “Aww, look at the little girl,” he said. “What are you gonna do to me, huh? Smear me with lipstick?”
The monster's toothy grin disappeared as a massive hammer formulated in the girl's hand. “Not quite,” she said. “Pummel Hammer!” With all her might, she flung her hammer, brimming with energy, at Arcado. It's force knocked him off guard, nearly toppling him.
“Hey, Tami, I have an idea,” Chip told the auburn-haired girl. “You up for it?” He whispered it to her.
“Hey, I like it. Let's give it a try.”
Arcado turned to see Chip flying towards him with Tami in tow. “Now what are you pathetic humans up to?”
“I hope this works,” Chip said to himself. “Cyber Spiral!” A blast of green energy spiraled from his arm cannon and burst against the monster's midsection, revealing his circuitry. “Okay, Tami, go for it!” He hurled her towards the opening, and she landed, grabbing onto one of Arcado's wires to support herself.
“What are you doing??” Arcado yelled.
“This: Ice Sting!” A burst of icy energy emitted from her hands, traveling throughout the robot's body and freezing up his circuits.
“What? No!” With one final roar, Arcado toppled to the ground in a lifeless heap.
“Ho ho! No 'mo robo.” Rob nodded smugly, then noticed the others were looking at him oddly. “What? Bad line?”
“Your jokes are a crime against humanity, you know that?” said Wyn candidly.
“Okay, I got a better one.”
Everyone shook their heads and began walking off. He ran after them. “Wait, I got more. C'mon, guys!”
No doubt at this point questions are piling up in your mind. Of course it wouldn't be prudent to reveal all the answers this early on in the story. We have a lot of ground to cover, so to begin our little tale, let's start from the very beginning...
Dimension Heroes, Book 1
Call To Adventure
The kids loved that all-too-familiar sound: the final bell of the school day. But this ring was particularly special: it was the final bell of the school year.
Ah, music to the ol' ears. Rob Anthony slipped on his sunglasses and smirked. He had been eagerly awaiting the time when he could do what he did best for three months straight: slack off.
The other high school students scattered in terror as Rob flew through the air on his skateboard. Some even went so far as to dive for safety as he grinded down a stair rail. As he hit the bottom, he overheard two familiar voices talking in a frenzy. He skidded to a halt and turned around to see Brittany Housley and Tami Webb—in his opinion, two of the cutest girls in his class—walking down the stairs. He had been struggling for the longest time to determine which one of them he thought was the cuter. He wasn't exactly close friends with either one of them, but they made conversation occasionally. As they passed by, he started walking alongside them.
Brittany immediately noticed their new traveling companion and giggled. "Don't look now, Tami, but you seem to have something following you."
Tami glanced at Rob beside her. "Yikes, somebody call a doctor, my style's cramping."
"Very funny, ladies," Rob sneered. "I was just curious to know what we were doing this summer."
The girls looked at each other, unsure whether they should giggle or cringe. Tami finally spoke up: "Well, I don't know what you're doing this summer, but my family and I are going on vacation to the Bahamas. Nothing but fun in the sun for an entire month. I can't wait."
Brittany sighed. "I don't have much of anything planned..." She paused as she noticed a grin slowly begin to form on Rob's face. "...except, uh, for my...er, three-month spa treatment." She hated to lie to the boy, but it was either that or be hounded by him for the whole duration of the summer.
Rob eyed her. "A three month spa treatment, huh? That's going a little overboard, wouldn't you say?”
Brittany stroked her long black hair. "Well, one can never look too beautiful, right?"
Rob wasn't going to give in that easily. "So, anyway...either of you fine ladies free tonight? Maybe go catch a movie or something?"
"Ooh, sorry, Rob, can't," said Brittany. "Summer break means summer deals. Tami and I have a killer shopping day ahead of us. Isn't that right, Tami?"
“That's right,” Tami replied. “You gotta snatch up the good deals before they're gone. Know what I mean?”
Rob lowered his head in defeat. "Eh, that's cool, I guess. Maybe some other time, then.” He raised his head and gave him the most pathetic look he could muster. “So...I guess I'll catch you gals later."
Both girls smiled sweetly. "Sure. Have a good day, Rob," they said in unison, and watched as he took off on his skateboard, putting the lives of countless citizens in peril once more.
"That Rob's a good kid," Tami commented to her friend. "Crazy as a loon, but a good kid."
"Kinda cute, too." Brittany added. Both girls giggled.
As Rob continued his skateboard rampage, he spotted Chip Stamper walking along the sidewalk, books in hand. Rob could tell he was the world's biggest dork from the moment he first met him; from the top of his huge bowl cut to the bottom of his shiny brown shoes, he was a nerd through and through. Like Brittany and Tami, Chip was more of an associate of Rob's than a close friend.
And boy, did Rob love to mess with the nerds. He tucked his skateboard under his arm and tiptoed behind Chip as he walked. He tapped him on the shoulder, and as Chip looked to see who it was, Rob quickly ran to the other side. "Boo!" Chip jumped nearly a foot in the air, and Rob laughed heartily. The oldest trick in the book, he knew, but still a classic.
"Sheesh, Rob, you get me every time!" Chip seemed pretty shy and antisocial around most people, but for some reason, he was fairly talkative with Rob. Rob imagined it was just his charisma. Not even the shiest person could resist talking to him.
"Sorry there, Chippo," Rob put his arm around Chip's shoulder as they continued walking. "You know I just can't resist. So, I'm guessing you'll be bustin' out the ol' air guitar and rockin' the summer away with your homies?”
Chip chuckled uneasily. "Not quite. I’ve been learning how to code using Q-Basic over the last several months. I have a project I plan to work on for a while."
“Q-Basic? Why would you want to waste your summer fiddling with geometry?”
“Well, actually, Q-Basic is a computer--”
“Nah, no need to defend yourself. Different strokes, I say. If you like to spend your three months of hard-earned freedom doing math equations, well, more power to ya. As for me, I'm putting the ol' brain on autopilot from this moment on. And what better way to do that than veg out in front of a movie screen? I hear the new zombie flick starts today. You in?”
“Sorry, I'm not much of a movie person.”
“Oh. How about video games? You play any of those?”
“Actually, Rob, I have plans for the rest of the day. I appreciate your offers, though. Maybe some other time.”
Rob was crestfallen. Chip was far from his first choice in potential people to hang out with, but he was better than no one. "Uh, yeah, sure. Well, I'd love to stay and chat some more, but I'd better hit the theater." He hopped on his skateboard and took off. "Later, dude!"
"See ya."
Rob wasn't the type to go see a movie by himself. He spent roughly an hour trying to find some hangout buddies, but it seemed everyone had plans. Everyone but him. He had no plans for the rest of the week, or, to his knowledge, the rest of the month, either. He wasn't sure he had anything planned for his entire three months of vacation. He always enjoyed having some time by himself, but it seemed that he spent more time alone than with other people. Occasionally he would hang out with some associates at a school function or the like, but he honestly couldn't say he had any true blue friends. Today's just another lazy day, I guess, he thought to himself as he raced home.

Tami held a bright purple t-shirt up to her torso and admired herself in the mirror. “Oh, yes, this shirt is totally me.”
"Uh, Tami," Brittany said, "that shirt looks eerily similar to the one you have on."
Tami smiled. "Oh, no, it's identical to the one I have on." She pointed to the shirt she was currently wearing, which was indeed exactly the same as the one she was holding on a hanger. "I was just pointing out how cute I look in it."
“You're a weird one, Tam.”
"I wouldn't be talking if I were you.” Tami gestured to the article of clothing Brittany held in her hand.
"Oh, you must be referring to my new shirt." Brittany held one of her numerous purchases in front of her. "To the untrained eye it may look similar to the one I'm wearing now, but notice how the trim on the star is white, not green. Such a drastic change would certainly make this article of clothing different enough to warrant purchasing, yes?"
"Whatever you say, girlfriend."
The duo stepped up to the checkout counter. The cashier immediately began ringing them up. "Were you girls able to find everything okay?" she asked.
"Just fine, thanks." said Tami.
As she handed the girls their respective receipts, she commented: "Judging from your purchases, you girls have some good fashion sense."
Brittany beamed. "Why, thank you!"
"Flattery will get you everywhere, my good woman." Tami said.
"Perhaps I could interest you girls in our new line of bracelets. We just got them in this morning."
"They're worth a look," said Tami, intrigued.
The cashier pulled a box out from behind the counter. The girls' eyes lit up as they looked upon the contents inside: four glistening silver bracelets, each with the letters DG inscribed on them. "On sale for only ten dollars. These are the only ones we plan on getting, so this is a one time deal. I wouldn't pass it up if I were you."
Tami eyed the merchandise critically. "DG, huh? Never heard of that name before.”
Brittany reached into her purse to assess her financial situation. "Wow, I can't believe I have any money left after the day we've had," she said, skimming over her checkbook.
Tami looked up from her money pouch. "Well, we said that we'd shop till we drop, and I am still standing, so..."
As the girls left the store with their new purchases—including two shining new bracelets around their arms—a pair of eerie glowing eyes emerged from a nearby alleyway. A dark figure growled softly, a dark figure with a mission. A mission to find something. Or someone.
"Guardians..."
Part 2
As Rob opened the door to his apartment, he was immediately greeted by his mom. “Hi, honey, how was your last day as a junior?” she asked.
Rob gave her a hug. “Eh, you know, same ol’, same ol’. I’m just ready for some well-deserved time off.”
“Hey, speaking of school, I saw two of your classmates on my way home from work today.”
“Oh, really? Who were they?”
“Brittany and Tami. It looked like they were shopping their little hearts out.”
“Yeah, today was their shopping day.”
His mom laughed. “They were wearing the cutest bracelets. They said that they got them for a bargain over at Cecile’s, and I knew I just had to get one before they ran out.” She pointed to the silver bracelet on her wrist.
Rob nodded approvingly as he walked towards his room. “Nice, nice. Looks good on you.”
As he entered, he threw his school bag on the floor and plopped down on his bed. What a boring life I live. he thought to himself as he threw a baseball carelessly into the air. There’s just never anything to do around here. Everyone’s off doing their own things, and here I am. Good ol’ Rob, all alone. How in the world am I going to keep myself occupied all summer long? Man, what I wouldn’t give for a little excitement.
--
Meanwhile at the clothing store, the customers and employees were getting all of the excitement they could handle: something was wreaking havoc throughout the store, knocking over display stands and shredding through articles of clothing like tissue paper. The cashier was too scared to uncover her eyes and see exactly what it was, but even huddled up in a corner with her head between her knees, she knew it wasn’t anything good. Finally, she mustered up the courage to look up at the counter she was hiding behind. What she saw atop it was a four-legged catlike creature with a mask-like marking across its pale yellow eyes. Sharp spines protruded out of the back of his head. Three whip-like tails flapped behind him as he stared at her and snarled.
“Guardians!” he said. “Where is the Guardian power?”
She barely had the courage to squeak out a response: “I--I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you’re talking about…I could run a computer check if you want. What did you say it was called…?”
Luckily, what he wanted was glistening right in front of her, and he could sense it. She screamed and tried to squeeze farther into the corner as the monster jumped behind the counter with her and dug through its contents. He grabbed the last remaining bracelet in his mouth and jetted out the door like a bolt of lightning, leaving a stunned crowd in his wake.
There are three more Guardian powers close by, the monster thought as he scrambled into a nearby dark alley. Surely these creatures will attempt to hunt me down. I’ll have to be more careful with the next one…
--
Bored in his room, Rob made his way back into the living room to see both of his parents glued to the TV screen. He heard what sounded like a news reporter finish his sentence: “…only one piece of jewelry was stolen.”
“You guys look like you've seen a ghost,” Rob said. “What's going on?”
“You’ll never believe this, Rob,” Rob’s mom said excitedly. “Remember the store that I got my bracelet at? Well, it was robbed earlier this afternoon, and get this: the only item stolen was one of the bracelets.”
Rob chuckled. “Wow, mom, I know you wanted the bracelet, but I didn’t think you wanted it that badly.”
“I’m just glad she wasn’t there when it happened,” his dad said, “but at least nobody was hurt.”
The three of them continued to listen as the shaken cashier spoke to the news crew: “I have no clue what it was, but I know for a fact that it wasn’t a human being. It looked more like some kind of cat or something.”
--
The sun began to set. Police had been scouting the city all afternoon in search of the monster, and he had no choice but to remain hidden. It took him a while, but he managed to sneak around the city through the maze of alleyways and finally found what he believed to be the source of Guardian energy on the top floor of a giant apartment complex. He growled from the alleyway below, wondering exactly how he was going to get the bracelet without attracting too much attention. As he thought, he continued to stare at Rob’s apartment in particular; the energy was coming from there, he was sure of it.
His concentration broke when he saw Rob come out of the apartment and begin to walk towards the stairs. This might be his best chance to achieve his goal. He took one last glance around the building to see if anyone else was nearby, then began to jump from floor to floor with ease, quickly meeting Rob as he was coming down the stairs.
Rob was taken aback when he saw the weird creature directly in front of him, so much so that he fell to the ground in surprise. “W-W-Whoa!”
“You!” the monster snapped. “You have something I want.”
Still in shock at what he was seeing and hearing, Rob ignored what he said. “Y-Y-You’re the…thing that robbed the clothing store earlier today, aren’t you?”
The monster was surprised that word of his attack was spreading so quickly, but answered the human. “Yes. I am searching for the Guardian powers. I know you have one of them. Bring it to me at once!”
“Look, if this is about the jewelry, my mom really seems to like it and everything. Can’t you just go rob another store or...something? I’m sure there’s plenty of--”
“You foolish creature!” the monster snarled. “I will have the Guardian power, whether you get it for me peacefully or I tear apart your dwelling and get it myself. Your choice.”
Rob yelped at the monster’s sudden outburst. He wasn‘t sure what the creature was capable of, but he wasn‘t about to take the chance of letting it hurt his family.
“Uh…okay, man. No problem, y’know? I’ll, uh, be back in a second…” He began walking back up the stairs.
“And no funny stuff,” the monster added. “I’ll hunt you down if you attempt to call for assistance. Meet me down in the alleyway when you come back.” With that, he jumped back down into the dark alley. He knew he was taking a risk, but it was the path of least resistance. Better to deal with two or three people than a squad of police officers.
Rob walked through his house nonchalantly. “Hey, uh, mom...” He walked up to his mom, who was reading a book. “Can I...see your pretty new bracelet for a sec?”
His mom looked at him strangely as she took it off. “Sure, I guess…why?”
“Oh, no reason.” Rob smiled. “I just…want to…try it on.” He hated to think of how upset his mom would be over losing the bracelet, but her safety, along with his dad’s, was more important to him. He’d tell them the situation after this was over. It wasn't too far fetched a story for them to believe.
She handed him the bracelet. “Well, whatever floats your boat…I guess.”
His dad looked away from the TV. “I thought you were going to take a walk.”
Rob began to walk to his room. “Oh, yeah, I’m gonna take a walk. I just…forgot something.” He stood in his room for a few moments. Hopefully they’d think that was his reason for coming back.
He was quick to meet with the monster behind the alley, who swiped the bracelet from his hands. “Yes, this is it. Perfect.”
“Okay, I’ve given you what you want,” Rob said. “Now tell me: Who—or what—are you, and what do you want with that bracelet?”
The monster snickered. “I suppose there’s no harm in telling you. My name is Tritails. I am a Creturian hailing from a dimension parallel to your own. As for the bracelet, it contains a great power, a power that I must destroy.”
Rob looked at Tritails quizzically. How was he supposed to respond to a story like that? “Uhhhh…o….kay…”
“Do you have any more questions?”
“I...guess not.”
“Good. Then prepare to die.”
Rob had no idea what Tritails was talking about, but he knew very well what that last part meant. “I…beg your pardon?”
“I have more business to attend to around this city,” Tritails explained. “I made the mistake of making a scene earlier. I already have your defense force after me. I needed you to help me out, but having you as a witness will just impede my progress even further.”
Rob’s felt his heart begin to pound in his chest. “Hey, dude, we can work out an agreement, can’t we?” He backed away slowly. “My lips are sealed, I swear. C’mon!”
Tritails was through talking; he jumped at Rob, who quickly rolled out of the way. “Stop, please!” Rob begged as he stood up. “I’ll do whatever you want. Just don’t hurt me!” The monster lunged again, but Rob ducked to the side. Reasonably scared, he ran frantically towards the end of the alley.
Tritails‘ tails began whipping faster. “There is no escape. Tail Triad!” His three tails flew in front of him and stretched towards Rob, wrapping around him like a rope and pulling him back into the alley.
“Let me go, let me go, let me go!”
Tritails let him go, all right: he sent him sailing straight into a group of trash cans. Rob stayed motionless, face down on the ground.
Tritails calmly walked towards the trash cans. “You can’t fool me. I highly doubt you creatures are that pathetically weak. But even if you are, I‘m not leaving until I know for sure that I‘ve finished the job.”
Aw, nuts. It was worth a shot, Rob thought. Well, if I can't fake my way out of this, then I'm going out fighting! He stood up, lifted one of the trash cans over his head, and hurled it with all his might at Tritails. It smashed into the unsuspecting monster, sending him flying across the alley. The bracelet flew through the air and into Rob’s hands. Unfortunately, Rob was still stuck in the corner with nowhere to run.
Tritails tore the trashcan apart with the sharp ends of his tails. “All right,” he shouted across the alley, “prepare to be destroyed! Tail Triad!” He once again shot out his tails at Rob, who tried to protect himself with another trash can. Tritails tore his tails through the can and flung it out of his way as he ran towards Rob. “It is my mission to make sure the Dimensional Guardians never power up again!”
“Dimensional Guardians? Power up? I still don’t--” Before Rob could finish his statement, the bracelet in his hands started to glow a brilliant white.
Tritails skidded to a halt and stared on in horror. “No, the Guardian power!”
Rob shielded his eyes from the bright light as the bracelet floated in the air and latched itself onto his right arm. Tritails watched as he was showered in the light.
“Sir! Sensors have located one of the Guardian Powers!”
“Another one? What is going on here?”
“Another anomaly has been sighted, as well!”
When the light cleared, Rob had a thin layer of metallic armor over his arms, torso, and legs. On his right arm was a mounted laser cannon. Needless to say, he had no idea what was going on.
Tritails, however, did. “You’ve inherited the Guardian power!” He growled softly and tried to compose himself. “No matter. Now I can destroy both you and the power at once. Tail Triad!” Once more, he sent his tails flying at Rob, but this time…
…Rob caught them. “You know, I don’t really appreciate you trying to kill me and all,” he said calmly. “I think you need to be taught a lesson.” Before he could teach Tritails that lesson, however, the tails smacked him in the face, causing him to let go.
“You little worm!” snarled Tritails as his tails went back behind him. “There’s no way a pathetic creature like you could stand against me.” The two combatants jumped at each other. Tritails’ tails smacked against Rob’s face as Rob gave him a firm kick to the back. Both of them crashed to the ground.
Rob stood up and rubbed his head. “Man, that’s smarts. What in the world has happened to me? I feel so…strong, like I can take on anything! This is crazy!”
While he was busy admiring his new powers, Tritails knocked him off his feet with his tails, then jumped on top of him. “Don’t you get it?” Tritails said. “You don’t even know how to properly utilize your new power. And I’ll see to it that you never get a chance to learn!”
Rob growled as the monster dug his paws into his chest. “You’re right…” he said, breathing heavily. “I don’t have any idea what‘s going on here, but there is something I do know how to do…” He gave Tritails a firm kick in the stomach, sending him flying off him. Tritails stuck one of his tails into the ground to right himself, landed back on his feet, and shot off his tails again. Rob once again grabbed them, and with his enhanced strength, he flung Tritails high into the air.
While the monster flailed about in the air, Rob looked over the strange cannon-like device on his arm. “Awesome. Let’s see what this baby can do.” He studied the weapon’s three buttons carefully. “Okay, you creep,” he called out to his airborne enemy as he pointed his cannon to the sky and set his finger on the button nearest to him. “Let’s see how well you can withstand a Laser Blast!” As he pressed the button, a yellow beam of energy blasted out of the cannon and flew towards Tritails.
Seeing the blast heading towards him, Tritails snarled angrily: “No! I can’t be defeated by the likes of you!” The blast enveloped him, with the resulting explosion creating a cloud of thick smoke. When it cleared, there was no sign of the multi-tailed creature.
Down below, Rob couldn’t believe what he had just done. He stared at his armor in amazement. “W-What did I just do…?” The next thing he realized, the armor was gone, and he was back in his normal clothes. He didn’t know what to think of all that had happened. “This has to be some kind of weird dream,” he concluded. “This…man, this is just crazy.”
“Signs are showing that the anomaly has returned to its original location. The Guardian power reading has diminished considerably. Whoever has it must have de-transformed.”
“Unbelievable. Get me additional information on the sector the Guardian power and anomaly has been sighted in right away.”
“Hi, honey, how was your walk?” Rob’s mom asked as he stumbled into the apartment.
Rob shook his head to bring himself out of his stupor. “Oh, the walk? Yeah, the walk was fine. Nothing particularly special, just a walk. You know how it is. Heh heh.”
Rob chuckled as he headed to his room. He shut the door to his room and set his mom’s bracelet on his desk. As he sat down on his bed, he stared at it from afar. After all he had been through, he knew that it was no ordinary piece of jewelry. The same thought kept echoing through his head: Man, this is crazy. He laid his head down on his pillow and closed his eyes as he mulled everything over in his head.
--
Meanwhile, deep in the depths of a fortress not a far distance from the city, another figure was mulling over something in near pitch blackness. “I don't sense Tritails' energy anymore. How could he have possibly failed?”
His two associates stood in front of him, their arms crossed. “Beats me.” one said. “Personally, I never liked the guy, anyway.”
“How about you let us handle finding the Guardian powers?” said the other. “We're bored.”
“Patience. Your time will come soon enough. For now, let's watch things play out a little further...”
What is the secret behind the bracelets, and how will Rob use his newfound power? The story has just begun! Stay tuned to upcoming episodes of Dimension Heroes to find out!
TO BE CONTINUED…
