**Previously**

I had awoken with a jerk I could remember being in another place for a
moment. I remember that I was floating in the air as well. It felt sorta
like a dream but I wasn't sure. I shook it off for the time being and
finished packing. Cause the next day I would be on my way to Orlando Fl. I
went to my cd player and picked a song from Boy Zone Where We Belong.

**And Now**

	The air port was very crowded. But that is the norm. I had gotten
my ticket and my luggage ready to go. All I had to do now was wait for the
boarding call. I found a seat next to the windows. the area was
surprisingly clear. I sat down and started to think of the incident of the
other day. Why had I done what I did? Why was BSB and 98* Degrees ready to
fight or at least 98*. They knew it was not the right time to have a
battle. Too many forces flowed there all at once. The more I thought the
more question came up. I was pulled out of my thoughts by this powerful
presence that just entered the area. I looked around but at first saw
nothing. I continued to look but saw nothing till it was almost too late. I
bolt of lightening came speeding toward me. I moved and caught it. I had
seen the person to throw it. The guy that threw it came closer, enraged
with me catching the bolt. I raised my hand an threw it back. Before I
could stop it, it had hit him. I had realized it was Lou Pearlman. He went
to the floor as the bolt hit him. He clutched his chest with pain. I walked
over to him and knelt down by him.

"Why did you attack me?"

"I am trying to protect others from your evil!!" He spat still clutching
his chest.

"I don't know what you are talking about?!?"

"You hold the Cthrag Sardious, an evil stone, I must destroy you!!" he
continued.

"I am not evil, and I have no idea what that stone is or what it looks
like." I said flatly. This got me a strange look from him.

"I can feel it near you, if you aren't evil why do you have it?" Suddenly
everything went dark around me and Lou. A single ray of light appeared near
us bathing a person in white light.

"He isn't evil, Pearl, he is a guardian of a different realm than this
one. He is here because before he could become a guardian the Dark Lord of
Shadow Attacked him. The other guardians came to his aide. Before he was
sent away he sent the evil stone into a void only he can open. That is why
you feel the evil near him. Please do not attack him any further or you
could lose your very existence." With that the figure disappeared and light
returned to normal. Lou turned to me and smiled then left me pondering my
thoughts on what just happened.

	I was pulled out of my thoughts by the announcement that my flight
was ready. I gathered my things and headed to the gate. I was ready for my
trip to Orlando.

**Orlando**

	Kevin was sitting at home thankful for the day off. The other guys
would be over soon to discuss matters only known to them. Why was this guy
Star Warrior affecting him so much? He is from another universe and
dimension. But then again this world wasn't made for all who have magik,
true magik that is. It was found as a safe world for those who were seeking
refuge from wars and all. His father had died a few years ago, he passed on
his power to him. The power to see into others hearts was his biggest power
though he had others he was more of a peace keeper than a fighter. The guys
finally arrived.

"Come in guys, A.J put up a shield to keep unwanted people away." The guys
entered and A.J. did as requested putting up a magik barrier around the
home to keep them safe. They all sat down so they could begin with the
special meeting.

"Okay the balance has wavered a bit but it is back the way it should be."
Howie stated.

"Good but what I mainly want to discuss is Star Warrior" Kevin said.

"Cuz, what I know about him is very little. He is a High Guardian and maybe
more. He is of course not of this universe. Also he is protecting a very
powerful and extremely dangerous object..." Brian really hadn't wanted to
mention the name cause of its evil. Though the name has no power he hated
it with a passion.

"What is this object Brian?" A.J. asked

"Cthrag Sardious." Everyone gasp at that name. "How the stone got to be
hidden and protected by him I do not know. There are others who are
searching for him." Brian turned to Nick " I am sorry to do this but we
will need NSYNC's help with this, I know you and Lance broke up and all a
while back but you have to let it go so we can protect Star Warrior's
mortal shell." Nick sighed and nodded. But Kevin caught something that
Brian had said.

"What do you mean his mortal shell???"

"When he was sent here his magik self and mortal self became separated, the
two are going to meet soon his mortal self has gained it's power but he has
yet to gain his full abilities. And until he does we have to protect him. I
already know who he is and have arranged things so that he will be here for
enough time to get the parts back together."

"What do you mean" Howie said a bit shaky.

"I have set things in order the way I was told to do them by The Lady."
They calmed down some since they now knew Brian didn't act out of his own
mind. Kevin looked around and then spoke.

"Okay I think it is best we stop for now and all I don't want to draw
attention to us, Brian you go visit NSYNC and let them know what is up and
see if they have discovered anything more." Brian nodded then smiled.

"Kevin you need to be at the airport in a few hours his plane is coming in
then. Don't worry about how you will find him that is already taken care
of." Kevin stared at Brian with wonder 'Did Brian really know about me?' he
thought.

'Yes Kevin I have known for a very long time.' Kevin heard Brian in his
head as Brian left with the others following behind him.

**The plane**

	I had just sat down on the plane and was getting ready when I felt
this cold breeze go by. Now normally I wouldn't worry but this was a
menacing cold. I looked around but couldn't feel or see anything. I
shrugged my shoulders and pulled out my cd player and inserted a cd by a
new group called Steps. They aren't really new just new to the US. I put on
my ear phones and leaned back as the music filled my ears. Shortly I was
asleep and in dreamland.


	I was in my special place once more. Walking on top of a cliff over
looking the ocean with a full moon above me. The night sky was full of
stars, glittering and twinkling. The waters dance across the rocks below,
and the wind sings it soft melody. Standing there at the point of the cliff
I watched the horizon trying to find where the sky stopped and the water
began. The stars were beginning to spot the sky as the last rays of the sun
disappeared from the sea. Listening to the waves crash on to the rocks
below brought back to me a memory of another place or time. But the most
profound feeling was that of longing, longing to be held, to be loved. The
song of the wind was a joyful one that spoke of love that is to come. Off
in the distance a figure seemed to glide a top of the water. I knew the
figure, but yet he was unknown to me. Before I could see his face clearly I
was awakened by the landing of the plane. I sat up and put my things up and
prepared to leave the plane as soon as I could.

	I was about to leave my seat when one of the stewardess' stopped
me.

"Excuse me Sir but would you happen to be Shawn Greere?"

"Yes that's me, how can I help you?"

"Well, Mr. Greere you are to be escorted to the VIP lounge of the airport
to meet the person who is to pick you up." I saw a couple of security
guards step up and they smiled at me and I smiled back. Each asked if they
could help me carry my things. I declined with a friendly smile and stepped
off the plane. The trip to the VIP lounge was short. One of the security
guards opened the door and let me inside. Then they closed the door. I
looked around and saw a young man with the most beautiful eyes I could
imagine. He was a bit older than me of course but he was still quite
young. I watched him smile as he started over.

"Hello I'm Kevin Richardson, I am your escort to your hotel which by the
way will be the same one the rest of the BSB will stay at."

"Greetings I am Shawn Greere, pleasure to meet you." We took each others
hand and time just seemed to stop. The room went dark. A glow began to
emanate from our hands. It stretched out and surrounded us both. Both of us
were scared because neither of us had every experienced anything like it
before. Suddenly the room and all was back to normal and we broke
contact. He showed me out and to the waiting limo.

**N'SYNC**

	Brian walked up to Justin's house. He noticed that the other guys
of NSYNC were there as well. That was good. As he reached the door it
opened and J.C. asked him to come on in.

"Hello guys Chris please raise a shield." Chris did and now they wouldn't
be over heard. "I know you guys have felt the balance shift and return, and
I know you all felt the new person two years ago." The guys all nodded
showing they understood. "Well he is now here in Orlando Kevin is there to
meet him and take him to his hotel which the BSB will also stay at. Reason
I have told you this is because we will need our help to protect him until
his magik self has been reunited with him. Which will happen while he is
here. And even then he will need to be protected until his mind and body
have recovered from the pressures." He stopped and watched as the guys
thought over the situation. Slowly every one but Lance agreed.

"I dunno last time I was around Nick we had a fight which almost cost us a
lot more than just our lives." Lance said.

"Ease your mind Lance, Nick is very sorry about that and he believe it or
not still loves you. He is just scared you no longer love him." Brian
stated the truth. Lance let a tear fall, Nick still loved him.

"Then I am in." And with his acceptance Lance's balance was back and his
power was back in order. Slowly his medallion began to glow again. Every
one cheered. Brian smiled as everyone hugged Lance. Chris lowered the
shield and Brian left for the hotel. NSYNC would follow once they gathered
a few things.
