Island Life
The island was nice enough, a tropical climate.  Ganthet had brought them to the beach there, and began his instruction.

"Consider, if you will, the different emotional entities, how they are paired, and from where they arise," Ganthet began.

"Rage and Love, for example, are emotions that are directed towards something.  You feel love for your companion, or rage at those who have wronged you.  They sit the farthest from the center of Will that is at the core of the Emotional Spectrum, because they are emotions of passion, here in one moment, gone in the next, difficult to sustain and yet able to consume one if left to flicker and burn for too long by themselves.

"Greed and Compassion, move closer to the center, and act as more intrinsic emotions.  Greed is a desire for more, never satisfied with what you have, always seeking to possess and control more.  Compassion is the empathy for the suffering of others, the understanding of other viewpoints and situations, feeling for them and seeking to mend them.  These emotions exist more solidly, more states of being that flare-ups of passion.

"Fear and Hope just left and right of center, are different in that while those are emotions that may be felt, as the Emotional Spectrum understands them, they are emotions that can be caused in others.  The Fears that claw at us in the dark, the Hope that tomorrow will be better.  Those who wield the Lights of Fear and Hope are beacons of these emotions, fanning the flames of those emotions around them.  They know them, and how to wield them to best effect.

"Willpower stands at the center, and stands alone.  It is the ability to overcome fear, to turn hope into action.  It is the ability to fight to make compassion a reality and to resist greed's temptations.  It is the ability to temper the fires of rage and the passions of love with the need for clarity and reality.  Though my brothers are wrong in ignoring the other Lights, they were correct when we believed that the Light of Willpower has the potential to be the strongest of them all."

He looked them over.  "To know your Light is to know yourself.  Think, and search within you.  What about you drew your Light to you?"

Lenny took her gently by the shoulders. "I don't know, Andy, but we're going to be all right. I'm sure the others are looking for us."

Of course, someone else was looking for them too. Far enough away for now, but searching still.

"Am...am hoping so. Am not wanting to be here without All Team," Andy said, taking some reassurance from Lennys touch. It helped, but Andy would not feel comfortable until All The Team was together.

Lenny resists the urge to spout more colorful language.

"I hear you, Andy. For now we need to stay quiet and stay low. Odds are those guys that attacked us are also trying to find us."

"Y-yes...Is true. Caution needed."

There is a definite Yellow cast to Andys eyes.

"Still..there has to be a way for the others to find us," Lenny pondered, thinking aloud.

The three Effigies searching were closer now. And though they didn't see the New Guardians, perhaps they could draw them out.

One of them lobbed a fireball at the treetops.

Dammit. Effigies here too. "Lenny!" Heather shouted, even though it would draw attention.

She fired a barrage of baseball sized crystal balls at the nearest one.

First Lenny cursed when the trees suddenly caught on fire. However this was tempered when he heard Heather's voice calling out to him.

"Over here, Heather! C'mon, Andy, help's arrived."

Andy could light a day with the smile in hearing that at least Heather was there, but when the fireballs are sighted, there was a flare of yellow in Andys eyes. And this wasn't Andys normal fear, one of nervousness and anxiety. This was sharp.

Within seconds of seeing where Heather was firing the barrage, Andy was off, the form of a winged horror now flying hard for the targets.

One of the Effigies went down hard, the crystal spheres hitting him in the head with a hard sounding crack. The others went down under Andy's ferocious attack.

Heather broke into a relieved grin when she saw Andy and Lenny, swooping the later up into a hug.

"Oh my God, I'm so glad you guys are safe!"

Lenny hugs back, though he doesn't have Heather's power. "You too, Heather." He notes the carnage of Effigies. "Damn..Andy can really pack a punch." He shakes his head once. "Have you seen the others at all?"

Once Andy has finished the machines, the familiar androgynous form resumes and makes it's way back to the other two. Andy looks normal, save for a yellow cast to its eyes.

"Will Not hurt us. Will Not let them hurt you."

Heather very carefully put Lenny back down. "I got tossed with Saishu when we got separated. And I was able to find Cindy by tracing the Love connection between the two. We split up when I detected you."
