On Evara, in the kingdom of Scorchwood, Paige, Marcus, Phillip, Penny, Leo and Robert were at the guards' quarters. They sat on a bench, watching the rookie guards spar one another.

Paige sighed as she leaned back on her hands. Marcus looked at her, "you okay?"

"Just thinking," she said. "And what are you thinking about, Paigey Paige?" Penny asked playfully. The Evaran smiled and looked at the sky.

It was a beautiful white and blue color.

In truth, Paige didn't know what she was thinking about. But there was a strange feeling in her chest. She didn't know what it was but she knew that it would lead her somewhere.

And she also knew that she wasn't going to be alone once she went down that road.

On Irilia, in the kingdom of Skycross, Gregory was sitting on the porch of Shasta's house, watching Sarah and Phoenix spar in their dragon forms.

Emma walked up beside her brother and sat down. He smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder. "Hey, Em," he said, "you feeling better?"

"Mhm," she mumbled and he could see that she was still sleeply. He chuckled softly and kissed her head.

She nuzzled into him and he smiled before he looked at the sky. Like Paige, he had that strange feeling. It was eating at him.

He didn't know what it was either but he knew that he and the other Protectors were going to find out soon enough.

In the town square, Kaitlin was walking with her dad through the village. She sighed deeply as she held a basket.

"Are you okay, sweetie?" Her dad, Peter Sr., asked. He had a concerned look. She looked at him, "I'm okay, Dad. Just kinda bored is all."

He smiled softly and pulled her into a one-armed hug. She smiled and nuzzled into his side. "I bet your boredome will be cured when you and Gregory go and visit your friends."

Kaitlin giggled and Peter kissed her head.

The two walked over to another stand. Kaitlin looked at the sky and hummed softly.

On Dosyria, in the village of Northshire, Harry flew through the clouds. He flapped his wings before he closed them and free-fell through the air.

Astrid was watching him through the telescope. "He's doing it!" She called out.

Felix tapped the board and looked at the stopwatch. Before he reached the ground, Harry spread his wings and the action brought him back up into the sky before he zipped past the bell tower and his tail whacked against the bell.

It started ringing as it swayed left and right.

"Haha! Yes!" Runa exclaimed. Harry smiled as he landed on the roof of the clubhouse.

Heather chuckled, "amazing as always." Felix clapped his hands giddily.

"Okay, we're up," Silas chuckled with a sly grin.

"C'mon, Silas," Charlotte said as she, Vivian, Hazel, Elana and Marley landed next to Heather and Dante, "no one's ever been able to hit that bell except Harry."

"No one until now," Silas huffed. "Guys, this was supposed to be a drill," Harry piped up, brow furrowed, "do you have to turn it into a game?"

"Don't we always?" Astrid asked playfully. Harry chuckled, "fair point."

Silas smiled as he walked over and flew up into the air. Harry looked at Charlotte and Marley, "what brings you girls here?"

"What, we can't visit?" Marley asked playfully. Harry smiled and the three Universal Protectors looked at the sky.

"You feel it too?" Charlotte asked. "Yeah," Harry and Marley replied.

"Do you think the others feel it too?" Marley asked. "No doubt that they would," Charlotte chuckled.

On Dolvade, in the kingdom of Whisperglade, Natalia was in her room. She stood by a mirror and held her hand out.

Her eyes glowed magenta and her irises glowed white. "Kýma tis Fotiás," she muttered before she swung her hand and a wave of magenta flames flew into the mirror.

The mirror jerked but fortunately didn't break.

Natalia sighed in relief as Cody walked into the room. She looked at him, "hey."

"Hey, big sis," he greeted, "practicing your magic again?"

She chuckled softly. "You know this takes precedence." Her brother playfully rolled his eyes as he sat on the bed.

Natalia chuckled softly and she walked out onto the balcony. She leaned against the banister and Cody followed her. Natalia looked up at the sky.

She fiddled with her royal pendant. She frowned deeply as she felt a strange feeling in her chest. She hummed softly.

***

On Dolrion, in the kingdom of Nocturnia, Demetrius was standing out on the balcony, staring out at the city of Nightshade.

He sighed deeply and leaned against it. The wind blew at his hair and he closed his eyes for a moment. Maddox and Emhyr walked up beside him.

"What's on your mind?" Emhyr asked. Demetrius looked at them, "nothing much. Just... I have this strange feeling. Like, something is going on but I don't know what it is."

Maddox tilted his head curiously.

Demetrius leaned against Emhyr, resting his head on the Thirtusan prince's shoulder.

"Well... I'm sure you'll get a chance to find that feeling," Maddox said, wrapping an arm around his best friend's shoulder, "you always do."

Demetrius smiled and looked at the sky.

***

On Mazerune, Thomas, Alby and Newton were running through the fields.

Thomas skidded to a halt before he crouched low, his eyes narrowing in concentration. After a few moments, he leapt up and tackled Alby who yelped in surprise.

A few young Mazerunians ran over; two boys and two girls.

Newton chuckled, "well you certainly caught him, Tommy."

Thomas chuckled slightly as he transformed back and helped Alby to his feet.

"I'm going to take the young ones to the Shady River. See you once it's dinner time," Alby said.

"Alright," Newton nodded. Thomas nodded. Alby gently nudged the young ones and they took off running.

Thomas looked at the sky and he hummed softly, a frown forming on his face. Newton looked at him, "oh no... I know that face."

Thomas looked at him, amused, "this is just my thinking face."

"Uh-huh," Newton chuckled as he hopped on a boulder, "and what are you thinking about?"

"It's just a weird feeling," Thomas replied, sitting beside his boyfriend, "I don't know. Looking at the sky helps."

"Doing that just means adventure is calling you and the other Protectors again," Newton stated. Thomas raised his eyebrows in surprise. The blonde smiled.

"What, don't think I haven't seen you longing for that horizon," he said. Thomas smiled and nuzzled him, "you know me well."

"Indeed I do," he replied, "now let's get back home, yeah?"

Thomas nodded and got up. He looked at the sky and frowned before he jumped down from the boulder and he and Newton started walking.

Thomas kept glancing back at the sky every step he took.

On Dovatera, outside of the city of Quickmaw, in the middle of the woods, Shiloh was racing past the trees in his Velociraptor form.

He heard fast and heavy footsteps behind him. Silvanna, Nova and Darby were running after him.

He grinned and sped up before he skidded to a stop in the middle of a field. He transformed back and smiled. He looked at Jasmine.

The Dovateran sat on a small boulder and took out her phone to stop the timer. "5.10 seconds," She chuckled.

"Try and beat that," Darby huffed, breathing heavily. Shiloh rolled his eyes as he downed a bottle of water.

Nova chuckled, "he couldn't beat Derek if he tried." Shiloh glared at his sister, "shush you! I'm not dealing with him!"

Silvanna chuckled, "he beat you once." "And he sometimes gloats about it," Shiloh huffed before he looked at the sky. The clouds were slowly getting dark and thunder rumbled in the distance.

Shiloh stared at the darkening skies and hummed quietly. "You ever get the feeling that something strange is happening?" He asked suddenly. Silvanna, Jasmine, Nova and Darby looked at him then at each other.

"No?" Nova said.

Shiloh hummed, "maybe it's just me then. Come on. I wanna get back in time for dinner."

The four started walking back to the town. Silvanna wrapped an arm around Shiloh's waist and he nuzzled into her, his raptor tail brushing against hers.

The Protector glanced over his shoulder and thunder rumbled again.

On Whisperia, in the snowy woods of Clearfrost, Joanna and Laszlo were walking with their mother, Winter.

Winter climbed up a slope and she looked back at her kids. Joanna was helping Laszlo up the slope. Winter looked back at the rest of the way up.

She looked back at the two, "why don't you two go and see your friends?"

"Are you sure?" Joanna asked, furrowing a brow. "I wanna stay with you," Laszlo piped up, pouting a little.

"I know," Winter replied, "but I gotta handle some things and it'll take a few hours. You two go have fun. I'll pick you up later."

"Okay," Joanna nodded. Winter kissed their heads before she walked up ahead.

Joanna and Laszlo looked at each other before they smiled and hurried to the Frosty Meadows to see their friends.

Their friends, Blight, Vera and Hannibal were waiting.

"Hey, guys," Laszlo said. "Hey, you two," Blight chuckled.

"Glad you could make it," Vera smiled. "Like we would miss this," Joanna huffed with a playful laugh. The five Whisperians ran over to the fence where the other kids were standing, all looking excited and curious.

"What's this about again?" Laszlo asked, tilting his head. "Older Whisperian males come running back after hunting," Blight explained, "some of them start sparring."

Joanna hummed softly before she looked at the sky. She heard thunder rumbling and she frowned. She rubbed the back of her neck.

She too had felt the strange warm feeling buzzing through her.

***

On Phixinia, in the kingdom of Igniterra, Ivan was in his room, painting some floral designs on Pennie, his robot-arm friend.

He hummed thoughtfully before he set the paintbrush aside and looked at the window. He got up and pushed it open.

He closed his eyes, feeling the cool wind hit his face. He climbed out of it and up onto the roof.

He looked out towards the sky. 'Looks like a storm is coming,' he thought and he rubbed his chest. Ever since he woke up and had breakfast, he had been getting this strange feeling.

Like... a dream that something was happening. Something big.

Ivan moved a strand of hair from his face and hummed softly.

Maybe he could text the other Protectors and they would know what the feeling was.

***

On Naliria, in the Misty Shard Lands, Osiris was sitting on some rocks with his friends, Rameses, John, Grace and Emilia. They were watching Stella be chased by a few other kids.

"How long is this game going on?" Rameses asked, bored.

"I don't even know," Grace giggled. Osiris hummed softly and he looked back at the sky. His ears twitched slightly and he felt a chill run up his spine. He wondered what the other Protectors were doing.

The Nalirian tilted his head slightly and he hummed softly.

Especially when he figured that they were feeling the same strange feeling of longing.

***

On Spiritus, it was nighttime, Brenda was laying beside her mom. She opened her eyes and she slowly lifted her head.

The Spiritusian could see the other foals sleeping soundly and she had to admit that it was adorable. She looked around again and she saw her dad standing guard on top of the hill. But that wasn't what had woken her up. She felt a chill run down her spine and she looked at the starlit sky.

Rain opened her eyes and she looked at her daughter, "are you alright, love?" "I'm okay, Momma," Brenda replied with a reassuring smile, "I just can't sleep. My mind's awake."

Rain chuckled softly and she nuzzled Brenda. "Just like your father," she commented, "what's on your mind?"

"Just this... feeling," Brenda replied hesitantly, "like... something is calling me back to Earth."

Rain's eyes softened and she nuzzled her daughter again. "You have always felt the call of the Universe. Perhaps she is trying to call you and your fellow Protectors again."

Brenda couldn't help but nod in agreement before she rested her head next to her mom's shoulder, trying her best to ignore the chill in her body. She had a feeling that the Universe would definitely be calling.

***

In Sunwick, Eric was sitting at the watchtower, staring at the sky. He took a deep breath as he leaned against the railing.

'I wonder what everyone else is doing,' he wondered with a small smile.

He looked at the sky and he felt a soft chill running down his spine. He frowned in confusion and he looked around for a moment.

He looked back at the sky and stared at it. "That was weird...," he said softly then he shivered a bit. There it was again. That energetic but chilly feeling that radiated through his body.

He walked inside and he saw Harley asleep on the couch. The fifteen year old boy smiled softly and he nuzzled her a little.

"Love you, Mom," he said softly before he walked out of the watchtower.

***

On Aseria, in the fields of Bellmore, Anastasia was watching the other teens play and wrestle around. She smiled slightly and she glanced up at the sky for a few moments.

"Annie?"

She looked at her boyfriend, Chance.

"You okay?" He asked. "I-I'm okay, Chance," she replied quickly, waving her hand. She looked back at the sky, "I'm just... thinking."

She couldn't help but try to shake off the feeling. While it wasn't uncomfortable, it certainly felt strange.

All of the Protectors felt it; that same lingering feeling of warmth and longing. It was scary and strange but it somehow felt right.

Unbeknownst to them, that feeling would lead them to the same place where chaos often took hold.

Earth.
