Chapter 3: The Rise of the guardians

It was a beautiful summer’s night on the island of hoole, where Soren, along with his best friend Gylfie, Twilight, and Digger, are departing on a mission for the Ga’Hoole Tree. “Dad, can we come along with you?” asked Soren’s three daughters, Bell, Blythe, and Bash. “No, but perhaps someday you can. Pelli, are you sure you’re okay?” “Yes, I’ll be fine, now go. What’s your mission this time?” “Well, we’re investigating the disappearances of several owlets and we also got a tip, that the Pure Ones, now being led by the Striga, are harvesting flecks again.” “Okay, I’ll see you in a few days, alright?” “Okay!” Soren's three daughters said in unison.

A few minutes later, Soren, Twilight, Digger, and Gylfie were all in the sky. “Wow, it’s very calm!” Digger exclaims. “It’s too calm.” Twilight said. Soren was picking up the hint of a sound, and suddenly, BOOM! Soren began to go yeep and fell from the sky. “Soren! No…” BOOM! Gylfie was the next to go yeep fallowed by Digger and then Twilight. Nyra watched this all unfold. “Yes, I shall have my revenge on these so called guardians! I shall…” BOOM! Nyra was the next to go down. An unseen person, or should I say an unknown owl was talking to an unknown person. “I have gotten the band, along with Nyra. Now, my plans to rule the Ga’Hoole tree will go uninterrupted!” “The doctor told me to ask you when you’re supposed to get here.” “I’ll be there in a few days.” Otulissa, after seeing the attack on the Band, went to King Coryn hollow. “Coryn, Ruby, Eglantine, and I just saw the Band, and your mother, Nyra, get attacked by something! I need you to come with me!” “Okay, I’ll go with you!” When they reached the point where the band was attacked, they were gone! “But, they were here! Eglantine, weren’t they just here?” “Yes they were. Wait, Otulissa, you’re standing on something.” Eglantine said. She was. It appeared to be a shipping label. “What in the name of Glaux is this?” “It looks like a sticker, but it has the name of the other’s city called New York City.” “What? Wait, I think I know where that is.” Otulissa, Coryn, and Ruby frantically flew back to the Great Ga’Hoole Tree. However, Eglantine stayed. “Soren, wherever you are, I hope to glaux that you’re not hurt.” She then took off, as well.

About a day later, Soren woke up to find himself in a cage. “What in the name of Glaux?” Yawn! “Soren, what the heck happened?” “I don’t know. The last thing I remember before I fell asleep was going yeep and falling to the ground.” “Funny, that’s the last thing I remember too.” Twilight said, before charging the cage wall and then bounding off. “Finally, the full band! I can finally get my revenge on you, Twilight, for killing Kludd, but I’m not going to.” “What do you mean, Nyra?” “My attention is on The Striga. That backstabbing, no good, son of a biscuit eating bulldog!” “Okay, Gylfie, what does the shipping label on that piece of steel say?” “Ship to New York, Central Park Zoo, North America.” “Do you want me to tell the other guardians to get ready for battle?” “No, tell them to get ready for war.” Coryn said, with a greenish glow coming from his eyes.
