Aisha was searching for the Pixies and found them in a cage in a room in Shadowhaunt. "Aisha! You came for us!" Lockette exclaimed joyfully.

"Of course, she did," Chatta said.

"Don't worry, I'll get all of you out of there," Aisha assured as she transformed and started firing at a shield producer, but her Winx started to lower exponentially.

"Aisha! You can do it!" Chatta cheered, but Alissia's transformation was fading.

"Is someone there...?" A boy's voice called weakly from the darkness. There were sounds of clanking chains.

"There was someone else here?!" Chatta exclaimed.

"Why didn't he call out sooner? It's illogical," Digit pointed out.

"Hurry, Aisha we need to help him. Use your power in the direction of his voice. He is probably hidden somewhere so no one can find him," Amora said. Aisha used the last of her power to destroy an illusion and she found a blue-haired boy on the ground with chains on his wrists and ankles.

It seemed like his senses were weakened because he couldn't hear them even when they were so loud. His eyes were dark and he wasn't strong enough to even lift himself up. "I feel something light…" The boy thought.

"My Vanguard, they will help you out of here. I will release the last of your energy."

"Are you okay?" Aisha asked. She fell to her knees when her transformation disappeared. The boy stayed unmoving, his eyes remained dull. "Maybe I shouldn't have used the last of my Winx on him," she commented. An aura appeared and flared up around Aichi. Aisha suddenly felt a burst of power and got Winx back. "My Winx! It's back."

"The door to his heart is bright. Darkar must have been keeping him here for some reason," Lockette wondered.

"Well, he does have a lot of magical power inside of him. Maybe Darkar wanted to brainwash him and add him to his army," Amora guessed.

"Let's not think about that yet. I still need to get all of you out of there," Aisha said. She faced the barrier and charged up an energy ball. But before she fired, the barrier suddenly disappeared randomly.

"Darkar is letting us go?" Chatta asked without belief.

The roof started to fall and it looked like it was going to fall right on top of them. "Hurry let's run!" Chatta shouted.

"Wait! That boy!" Lockette said. Aisha hurried and broke his chains before dragging him outside.

"Thank you for helping me…" The boy thanked. His strength and senses were returning to him. Sky, Bloom, and Stella were still outside, but they were having some trouble with the witches.

"Witches?!" Aisha exclaimed. She placed the boy down somewhere safe before going to fight. "I know how to deal with your kind in Tides."

"Well you aren't in Tides anymore," Icy replied.

An aura appeared around the boy. "My Vanguard, do you have enough strength to fight?" A voice that only the boy could hear asked.

"Yes. I'm not sure what is going on... But thanks to that girl, I'm out of the darkness and I've been gaining strength exponentially," the boy answered as he stood up.

"Hold my card up," the voice instructed.

"I don't know your name..." Aichi thought. He didn't know who Blaster Blade was, but it was like his body moved on its own. He held out a card and it glowed. The light changed into white armour and a white sword. His eyes widened and a light burned in his eyes. "Blaster Blade!"

Aichi jumped up and protected Sky from an attack. "What? Who are you?" Sky asked.

"Watch out!"

Aichi's eyes widened as darkness started to surround him. His transformation began to fade and he clenched his head. "Blaster Blade!" Aichi called. He transformed back and a wave of light extinguished the darkness. It also freed Bloom and Stella from the darkness that was binding them.

"I'm feeling so much positive energy," Bloom said as her transformation returned. Aichi was exhausted and fell backward into Sky's arms before fainting. "Our powers are back!" Bloom cheered.

"It must be him. Aisha, who is he?" Sky asked.

"I don't know, I found him chained up in a dark barrier in the room I found the pixies," Aisha answered as she was fighting Stormy.

"Well... he bought us time, but we can't last long," Stella said. Suddenly a man with glowing yellow wings appeared and knocked all 3 of the witches down.

"What? Who are you?" Aisha asked.

"We're retreating," Icy announced as the witches ran.

"Wow!" They said together as the angel flew away without saying a word.

"He saved us," Bloom commented.

"Come on! Let's get out of here now that our mission is done," Sky commanded. He pulled Aichi onto his back and they made their way out or Shadowhaunt.

"Wait! We can't leave without Brenden!" Stella exclaimed once they got into the caves. She began stomping ahead of them.

"But, carrying that boy will slow us down and we probably won't be able to save him," Aisha responded. Stella still continued moving.

"Then leave him here or I will go alone!" Stella shouted angrily.

"Stella, we can't leave him here alone and unconscious. I'm sure, Darkar kept him chained up for a reason," Sky pointed out.

"Yeah. I am sure he didn't want him to escape since he weakened his senses and hid him well," Aisha agreed.

"I don't care! I'm going alone then!" Stella shouted back. Aichi opened his eyes weakly.

"The dark energy in this area is weakening me," Aichi informed weakly. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I'll be fine, let me down and help your friend." He used his arms to get off of Sky. He stood on his feet for a second before falling back into the wall.

"That would be bad, Darkar will capture you again," Amore warned. She floated down to Aichi.

"I'll be fine. I'll be able to take care of myself until you come back," Aichi assured.

"Alright! Let's go!" Stella said in a rush as she stomped away.

"Stella, we aren't going to leave him behind. Come on! No man left behind!" Sky cheered as he pulled Aichi up from the ground. He gave him a shoulder so that he can walk.

"I'm sorry. I'm just going to slow you down, but if he insists, I don't think we can change his mind. Maybe if there was some positive energy, I would be a little more powerful. Being exposed by dark energy for such a long time is taking a toll on my body," Aichi apologized. He walked with the help of Sky.

"Don't mention it. You saved us, this is the least we can do," Bloom replied. She was still in her transformation fighting some small creatures behind them. Another wave of positive energy was released as Bloom's Winx began to disappear again. Aichi held in the exhaustion that came afterward. "You are giving me power, I feel the positive energy around you."

"Hey, maybe you can teach me how to release positive energy so that I can give them power," Sky suggested.

"That is my aura. Everyone has a unique one. I can see that her aura is also bright and positive," Aichi explained while looking at Bloom. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Aichi."

"My name is Bloom and he is Sky. The girl that stormed off was Stella and the girl the found you was Aisha," Bloom replied.

"I don't know if I heard properly, but is Stella looking for someone?" Aichi asked.

"Yea, her boyfriend. He is somewhere close," Sky answered. They reached the underground. "And here we are."

After saving Brenden, everyone went on the ship and returned to Elfia. When they got to the ship, Aichi didn't seem well. He was forced out of his transformation because of his exhaustion. "He stayed in Shadowhaunt too long. The dark energy was eating away at his mind and body the entire time, and at the same time, he was giving all of us magic energy," Aisha explained.

"Let's hurry back to Elfia, maybe Ms. Faragonda will know something that will help," Timmy suggested.

"You could've helped him outside before saving me, but maybe it would be too late for me," Brenden said uncomfortably.

"I'm okay... All of us made it out... that is the only thing that matters," Aichi said as he was about to fall unconscious.

"Come on, we need to get back to Alfea now!" Aisha ordered. Aichi needed help immediately

"Already on it!" Timmy replied. At that point, Aichi had already fainted.

"Hang on there, we'll be at Elfia soon," Brenden assured Aichi. For every second passed, Aichi's breathing and body heat escalated.

Once they reached Elfia, Tecna, Musa and Flora ran out to greet them. The Pixies met them and they bonded together. Soon, Faragonda and Griselda walked out as Sky piggybacked Aichi out of the ship.

"Oh, my! What happened to that boy and who is he?" Faragonda exclaimed after seeing Aichi's condition.

"We found him trapped in Shadowhaunt. He stayed there for too long and now he is in this condition," Bloom explained. Sky put Aichi down on the floor in front of Faragonda, .so that she could get a closer look.

"This is impossible! He should have any magic! Shadowhaunt shouldn't affect him!" Faragonda denied.

"Well, he isn't a normal person. He gave all of our magic back and helped all of us get out. Without him, we probably wouldn't have gotten out," Chatta responded.

"Girls, Griselda! We need to act quickly! Give this boy some of your magic!" Faragonda ordered urgently. Everyone focused and transferred their magic to Aichi. Aichi floated up in the air, but it didn't seem to be working.

"We'll help too!" Lockette said. The pixies nodded and added their magic to the transfer. Aichi's card floated above him as an intense light shone across the whole school.

"What is happening? This light is bright!" Brendan asked. Soon the light disappeared and Aichi floated down onto the ground slowly.

"That should do it," Faragonda said.

"What did we do Ms. Faragonda? We feel exhausted," Flora asked while panting.

"We returned all the magic that Bloom, Aisha, and Stella used from him back. That would be the only way to fix his condition," Faragonda explained. Everyone was exhausted after giving Aichi their magic. "I didn't expect a magical being to have so much magic inside his body."

"He drained eight fairies and five pixies of their magic. How was he able to survive until now?" Tecna asked.

"It might take time for him to wake up. We'll let him sleep in the infirmary for now," Faragonda said.

"I'll carry him to the infirmary for you," Sky insisted.

"No, we'll take care of things from here. You all must be exhausted," Faragonda denied. She used what was left of her magic to lift him up from the ground.

"I guess we'll go back to Red Fountain then," Brenden suggested. The girls said goodbye to the boys as Faragonda took Aichi to the infirmary.

When she got to the infirmary, Faragonda placed Aichi down on a bed carefully. "This boy isn't normal. I will keep an eye on him," Faragonda thought as she looked at Aichi closely. When she turned around to leave, she noticed the Winx outside. "Girls go back to your dorms and rest after your trip. I need to investigate this boy alone."

"Alright. We'll be leaving then," Bloom said sounding disappointed. When they left, Faragonda noticed the room seemed to have slowly darkened.

"That is strange, there is negative energy surrounding this room. Who is there?!" Faragonda shouted. Suddenly, Aichi face became distressed.

"Void…!" Aichi cried in his sleep. Faragonda turned to Aichi to see that black mist was covering his body.

"Begone!" Faragonda shouted as she fired a magic energy ball at it, but it disintegrated. Aichi slowly sat up. It was not natural, it was like someone or something was pulling him up.

When Aichi lifted up his head, Faragonda saw his evil smile and darkened eyes. "A fairy… Huh…? And a powerful one too…" Aichi said with a deeper tone.

Faragonda jumped into a defensive position. "Are you Darkar?"

Aichi chuckled. "No… Actually, my name is Void…" he answered. His smile was soon wiped away as he clenched his head. "Void… Don't harm anyone…" It was Aichi's warm voice. A card emerged from his pocket and it was glowing.

"Sendou! Blaster Blade! Don't stop me your pests!" Void shouted with Aichi's body.

"Please, whoever is there. Attack me! Don't let it do any harm to anyone!" Aichi pleaded as he was trying to keep control. Faragonda quickly responded and hit him with her magic. Aichi fell on the bed and laid there.

"You are a fool, Aichi… Sendou…" Void said as the darkness disappeared. Aichi slightly opened his eyes to see Faragonda. His breathing was heavy.

"Thank you…" Aichi muttered as he fell asleep. The darkness seemed to have left, for the time being. Faragonda looked at Aichi's relaxed face.

"Is he really a human? He looks like a human, but he has proven that he is a magical being," Faragonda thought out loud. She started making her way outside after confirming Aichi wasn't going to wake up anytime soon. She left Aichi with the nurse of the school, who watched over his condition.

A few days later, a new teacher appeared at the school. He was loved by all the students. While the nurse was away, he walked into the infirmary. He looked around suspiciously before closing the door to the room.

"To make sure he can't see your dark aura, you need to place a spell on him," Avalon remembered Void reminding him. Avalon walked closer to Aichi and stood right above him. He held his hand over Aichi's eyes and forehead. A dark orb appeared between them as Aichi started to have a distressed face.

Aichi opened his eyes slightly and saw the hand above him. "Who's there…?" Aichi muttered. The darkness in front of his eyes was making him weak. Avalon kept quiet and waited until Aichi once again fell asleep. After a while, Avalon released his dark orb and walked out of the room like nothing happened.

Later that day, Aichi woke up. At that time, the nurse was sitting at her desk. He looked around the room and kept his eyes on the nurse. He found that he wasn't unable to see her aura.

"What is happening…? I can't see her aura," Aichi thought as he looked closer. The nurse turned around after hearing the bed sheets shuffle.

"You're awake. How are you feeling?" The nurse asked. Aichi stared at her blankly for a second.

"I'm feeling good now, I guess," Aichi answered. He was still nervous because he is now unable to see the auras of people. He felt self-conscious since he couldn't tell if someone was an enemy or an ally. He remembered what happened earlier blurrily, but he knew that he was able to see auras before that incident. He saw the man's aura and it was pitch black, but he wouldn't be able to identify him.

"Is there something in your mind?" The nurse asked as she checked on Aichi's physical condition.

"It's just that, there was someone here before. I don't remember who, but I know someone was in here," Aichi informed.

"I was here all day, no one walked in here," the nurse reassured. "Can you stand?" Aichi sat on the side of the bed and stood up. His legs felt a little weak, but he was able to stand and walk.

"Thank you for watching over me. But I'm not really sure where I am right now," Aichi said as he looked around thoroughly.

"You are in Elfia, this is a school for fairies. I heard that you might be startled and confused when you woke up, so I suppose that I should give you a warm welcome," the nurse replied. She waved her hand and a cupcake appeared.

"Wow! That is magic right?" Aichi said as he took the cupcake.

"Yes, it is," the nurse answered with a giggle after seeing a childish reaction from him. Aichi happily ate it.

"Thank you very much. My memories are pretty blurry right now, but I think I met a few fairies in a place full of negative energy. I was so wrapped up in adrenaline that I didn't even think about all the questions I had," Aichi explained as he finished the cupcake.

"Yes, actually. Ms. Faragona would like to speak to you about that. I'll take you to her," the nurse replied.

"Thank you for helping me out," Aichi thanked as they made their way to Ms. Faragona's office. The Winx Club was inside the office as well.

It was quiet inside of the room until Ms. Faragonda finally spoke. "I see you're doing well. I have many questions for you to answer, but first, tell me where you came from," Ms. Faragonda said.

"Everything is a little blurry... but I think I come from Earth. Although, I'm not sure where here is either," Aichi answered as he scratched his head.

"So you do come from Earth! I do too. I'm Bloom by the way. Actually, I think I already told you that," Broom said nervously. Aichi looked at all the people around him and he found that he was still unable to see their auras. He had a down face. "So where on Earth did you live?"

"I don't remember..." Aichi answered sadly.

"Well, that is okay... I lived in Gardenia. But how were you caught up in that mess?" Bloom responded.

Aichi thought and shook his head. "I can't remember... All I really do remember was getting engulfed by darkness and getting trapped in the place where I was found," he answered.

"I have one question for you, what is your relationship with that dark voice?" Faragonda asked.

"I'm pretty sure, we don't have any special relationships. All I know is that its name is Void, it doesn't have a physical body, but is capable of taking control of a vessel to make its host," Aichi explained.

Faragonda thought. "This Void fellow you mentioned. He must be working with Darkar," she speculated.

Aichi was thinking of earlier that morning. "There was someone in the infirmary earlier. I wasn't able to see who, but when I woke up, I felt something different. Before I was able to see everyone's auras, with that information I can distinguish between evil and good. But now, I can't see them," Aichi explained. "I saw the aura of the person that came inside... If I was still able to see auras, I can find the person that is going to threaten this place."

"I never heard of that kind of power before," Faragonda said stunned.

"How do we know he isn't working with Darkar or whatever?" Musa asked.

"We found him chained inside Shadowhaunt. There was a dark barrier around him, so I would've just walked past him like I did the first time if he hadn't called out," Aisha explained.

"I can promise you that I want to stop Void and Darkar," Aichi assured sincerely.

Lockette flew to him, he looked at her confused. "I'm going to check your heart," she informed. She waved her wand to open a portal to his heart. The portal triggered Aichi's Psyqualia and denied her access to his heart. "Something isn't letting me through," Lockette informed confused. Everyone turned to Aichi defensively.

"My Vanguard, Something is trying to access your heart."

"It's fine, Blaster Blade. Let them see inside of my heart. I don't have anything to hide," Aichi responded out loud.

"Blaster Blade?" Faragonda thought.

Aichi's Psyqualia grew in power and everyone in the room was taken by a bright light. Everyone covered their eyes, but they felt warm. "It's warm," Bloom commented.

"And bright!" Musa added annoyed.

Aichi smiled, the light disappeared and they returned back to Faragonda's office. "I'm sorry, there is something that protects my heart, and he won't change his mind unless I tell him to," he apologized. Lockette was sitting comfortably in his hand.

"You mean, Blaster Blade?" Bloom asked.

"Yea… Blaster Blade protects me and gives me guidance," Aichi answered.

"Thank you for explaining everything. I'm sorry, I haven't got your name," Faragonda said.

"My name is Aichi Sendou. It is nice to meet you all," Aichi answered.

"Now the only order of business is what we are going to do with him," a voice said. Everyone turned around and saw Griselda standing at the door.

"Griselda, you've finally made it," Faragonda said.

"We can't have a boy staying at Elfia," Griselda responded.

"Where else would he go?" Bloom asked.

"I don't mind going back to Earth. Although... my memories are really blurry and I don't remember where I live..." Aichi suggested.

"I can't allow that at this time, especially if you have no memories. Darkar is seeking something within you, he will definitely try to capture you once again," Faragonda responded.

Aichi looked confused. "Something within me?" He asked.

"Yes, I'm afraid that I will have to speak with you about that detail in private," Faragonda answered. "For now, I will make preparations so that you will be able to stay at Red Fountain."

"Red Fountain?" Aichi asked.

"It's the school where Brendon goes to!" Stella cheered.

"Oh…" Aichi muttered sounding nervous.

"There is no need to be concerned. I assure you, the boys in Red Fountain are trustworthy and talented. They can protect you if needed," Faragonda assured.

"It's not that… It's just that, I'm not fit to be a warrior," Aichi responded.

"But you were the one who saved us, you were using a white sword," Aisha pointed out.

"I had Blaster Blade's help. To make me stronger and quicker," Aichi responded.

"Ms. F, it was like he transformed. But I'm not sure why or how. It was pretty amazing," Bloom informed.

"Transformed?" Faragonda asked. Aichi nodded. "Would you mind showing us?"

"Should I? It'll use some of my powers." Aichi thought.

"My Vanguard, there is still distrust in their hearts. I believe the correct path is to reveal everything that they ask," Blaster Blade said.

"Okay, then. I can't feel any darkness nearby…" Aichi answered. He took a breath and took out a card from his pocket. He held it up. "Come on, Blaster Blade!" He called confidently. His Psyqualia glowed in his eyes and the card in his hand gave off a light. It was bright, so bright that everyone couldn't even see what was going on. When the light disappeared, Aichi was wearing a headgear with shoulder and wrist guards. He held a long white sword in his hand.

"Wow!"

After a few minutes, he released his transformation and all of the armour and sword disappeared into light particles which disintegrated into thin air. "Ms. F, shouldn't he at least stay for the party tonight?" Bloom asked. Every Winx looked at her a little surprised. Bloom blushed after realizing what her friends were thinking of. "No! Not that way, it's just that, I spent a lot of my life on Earth and I really want to spend time with someone from Earth," she clarified.

"I see, but I don't know. I don't really go to any parties," Aichi responded shyly. "Also… I can't see auras anymore and I feel a little self-conscious about not being able to see them."

"Girl, will you please leave us here. I would like to analyze him," Faragonda requested. The girls left leaving Griselda, Aichi, and Faragonda in the room. "Sit right there, I'll check if anything is abnormal in your eye." Aichi sat down on a chair to the side. Faragonda looked at Aichi's eyes and said an incantation. Aichi looked a little nervous as Faragonda looked closely.

"There is something inside your eye, it looks like a dark lens," Faragonda stepped back from Aichi. "Someone cast a spell on you, I will try to break the spell," she informed.

She began saying another incantation. As she was saying her incantation, Aichi suddenly felt a pain in his eyes. He covered them and screamed in pain. He looked around and saw that dark shadows began appearing. Faragonda was forced to stop his incantation before Aichi's body would go into shock. Soon after she stopped, Aichi's vision turned back to normal.

Aichi rubbed his eyes panting. Faragonda walked to her desk and began writing a note as Aichi calmed down. "I will write a note to request you to stay at Red Fountain. You will be safe as long as you stay with the Winx's friends," Faragonda explained.

"And about the training? I'm really not physically talented enough for that," Aichi responded worriedly.

"You don't need to worry about that. You'll just be staying there for safety, you won't be graded for anything," Faragonda assured.

"I understand," Aichi responded.

"I want to speak to you how important your protection is, Aichi," Faragonda said seriously.

Aichi looked at her confused. "What is it?" Aichi asked.

"I thought that I would explain the details of Darkar's plan to you. You have already proven to be involved in this, you must know how much danger you're in," Faragonda said. Aichi waited for the explanation. "Aichi, listen closely. Darkar is after something called the Ultimate Power. It can only be summoned inside the realm of Relix. To open the portal to Relix, he needs the four pieces of a codex. These pieces are hidden in Cloud Tower, Red Fountain, the Pixie Village and here in Elfia. He also needs a powerful soul to sacrifice. I have reason to believe that you possess that soul."

"A powerful soul?" Aichi responded.

"Yes, you had the power to return the magic of magical beings while inside Shadowhaunt. That is proof of your strong inner power," Faragonda said.

"I understand. I'll be extra cautious," he assured as he got up from his seat. He began walking to the exit of her office.

"Oh, Aichi! Please don't tell anyone else about this," Faragonda requested.

Aichi smiled. "Don't worry. I'm not someone that tells tales," he responded. He opened the door and walked out. When he did walk out, there were fairies in the hallway and noticed Aichi.

"He looks cute."

"I wonder why he is in Elfia."

Aichi walked down the hallway to attract as less attention as possible, but it was difficult in a school full of girls. He soon got himself lost. "Where am I?" He asked himself.

"Oh! Hey Aichi!" A voice greeted. Aichi turned around to see Bloom.

"Oh, Bloom. Um… Hasn't the party started? It is late," Aichi asked nervously.

"Actually, this is a welcome party for a new teacher. He is really dreamy and nice, everyone fell for him the first time they saw him," Bloom answered.

Aichi smiled. "I see you are pretty fond of him," he commented happily.

Bloom jumped. "Actually, I have a really close friend. His name is Sky, he goes to Red Fountain," she corrected. She blushed. "I mean he isn't my boyfriend or anything… but I hope I can be his girlfriend." They began walking around Elfia.

"He must be a nice person then. I'm looking forward to meeting and getting to know a person like that," Aichi responded. They reached the outside of Elfia, they sat together on a bench at the front.

"Sky really is a cool and nice guy. He doesn't need to act or anything for me to love him," Bloom said.

"I see, I think I had that feeling before," Aichi responded.

"Really? Do you have a girlfriend?" Bloom asked.

"No, I remember faintly that I have a really close group of friends. My memories are a little blurry right now, but I'm sure I cared for and loved every single one of them," Aichi explained. He sounded happy, but his tone also sounded really sad. "It's strange. Imagine you feel like you're so close to someone, but not being able remembering their name," he added.

Bloom looked nervous. Aichi felt the tension. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel tense. You expressed your feelings, so I thought that I'll express mine as well," he apologized. Little did they know, Sky was hiding in the grass and watching them.

"Bloom and that guy?!" Sky thought angrily.

"How was living on Earth?" Bloom asked.

"I can't remember the details, but I remember having fun there. And I'm sure, this card has something to do with it. My personal life is all blurry, but my mission is as clear as ice," Aichi explained.

"What is your mission?" Bloom asked.

"I need to stop Darkar and Void. I need to do something to save this world from ultimate destruction, but I know I can't do it alone. I hope I will have your helping hand," Aichi answered smiling at Bloom.

"Mine…?" Bloom asked nervously.

"Yea, you and your friends. The ones that surround you the closest," Aichi clarified. He looked at the starry sky. Suddenly, a memory appeared before his eyes.

A brown haired boy was standing in front of him. "Our paths will cross."

"Our paths will cross…" Aichi muttered.

"What was that?" Bloom asked.

"No, it's nothing. It's just something appeared in my head, a faint memory," Aichi answered. Sky couldn't hear anything, he just saw Bloom and Aichi smiling at each other.

Sky decided to come out of his hiding spot. "Hey, Bloom," Sky greeted.

"Oh! Hey, Sky. What are you doing here?" Bloom asked.

"So, he's Sky," Aichi thought.

"Actually I was asked to come here and pick him up. Brandon, Riven, Timmy, and I were put in charge of protecting him until further notice," Sky answered.

"It is nice to meet you, my name is Aichi," Aichi greeted with a smile.

"My name is Sky. Bloom, I would love to stay, but I should be getting back to Red Fountain," Sky said. He almost completely ignoring Aichi's existence.

"Really? So quickly?" Bloom asked.

"I have to follow orders," Sky responded urgently.

"Okay, then. Bye, Aichi. Don't worry, you're in good hands," Bloom assured.

"I'll manage. Have a good time at your party, okay Bloom?" Aichi responded gently. Bloom left to go back into the building.

"Come on, get on the bike," Sky ordered almost coldly.

Aichi knew that something was wrong. Regardless, he got on Sky's bike. "Um… Sky did I do anything to upset you?" He asked passively.

"No, not at all. Why would you ask that?" Sky asked annoyed. He began driving. As they were riding, the ride was completely silent. When suddenly, they were interrupted by shadows.

"Shadows!" Aichi informed.

"What? Where?" Sky asked.

"He can't see them?" Aichi thought to himself.

"Sendou!" A greedy voice called. Aichi knew who that was, Void.

"You better not be joking around!" Sky exclaimed.

"I'm not!" Aichi responded. He took out a card from his pocket and he transformed. "Blaster Blade!" He called. The light emitting from Aichi revealed the shadows so that Sky could see them.

"What are those?!" Sky asked panicked.

"They are shadows, made by the Void," Aichi answered. He jumped off the bike and held his sword up to extinguish the darkness. "There is only one shadow that I won't be able to extinguish with my light and that shadow is Void," he reminded himself.

"Blaster Blade!" He called. Blaster Blade responded by spreading the light to reveal Void.

"So you're back already?" Aichi asked.

"You will never take, My Vanguard."

"Sendou, don't make this harder than it needs to," Void said. He revealed Sky and his bike restrained my black shadows.

"Release him, Void," Aichi demanded. He held his sword in an attacking stance.

"Do you even understand the predicament you're in?" Void asked. The shadows squeezed Sky, trying to suffocate him.

"How about this? I will also tell you about your precious friends," Void added. Aichi reacted with his eyes widening. "You want to know, don't you? All you need to do is come to me quietly and I will reveal everything." Shadows crept up on Aichi's leg, arm, and sword.

"My Vanguard! Don't listen to its words!"

"He won't listen," Void responded. "Now, release Blaster Blade's transformation and we'll make the deal," Void ordered. At Void's angle, it couldn't see Aichi's eyes.

"I can't do this…" Aichi muttered.

"What was that? You'll need to speak louder," Void taunted.

"I won't do this!" Aichi shouted. He began glowing and the shadows retreated from him. He began attacking the shadow. Because Void was holding Sky, he was able to locate a spot that he can swing and have a guaranteed hit. Soon Void released Sky and Aichi caught him and put him on the ground.

"That's enough! Leave here!" Aichi demanded.

Void chuckled. "Fine. For today. But next time, I won't let you off so easily," Void responded. The shadows disappeared and Aichi released his transformation. He didn't know what to do now. Sky's bike was destroyed and Sky was also unconscious.

"What do I do?" Aichi asked himself. He checked Sky's pulse and he was very much still alive. Once Aichi felt like he rested enough, he pulled Sky up. "Blaster Blade, I need to get to Red Fountain. Lend me your power." He transformed once again and carried Sky in his arms to Red Fountain.

Luckily, he was able to see the Red Fountain building from where they were. "My Vanguard, if you remain in this transformation any longer, you will overexert your body," Blaster Blade informed.

Aichi was sweating. "I'm fine. I can make it," he assured. Red Fountain was still a ways away, and Aichi noticed that after looking up. When he reached Red Fountain, he fainted at the front entrance. He dropped Sky on the ground when he did. The armour was released and Blaster Blade's card slid inside his pocket.

Brandon was sitting in his room. "Sky isn't back yet?" He asked.

"He probably got caught up with Bloom," Riven suggested.

"But Sky is on a mission, he can't come back so late because of Bloom," Brandon responded. "Timmy, can you find him?" He asked.

"Give me a second," Timmy responded. He used his computer to search for Sky's rider. "It says that he is inside the forest. He isn't moving either!" He informed nervously.

"Let's go get him, his bike probably broke down," Brandon said. The Specialists ran out to find Aichi and Sky unconscious at the entrance.

"Sky!" They ran to Sky.

"Hey Sky, wake up!" Brandon said. Sky soon opened his eyes.

"Where am I?" Sky asked.

"You were unconscious here. You're at the Red Fountain entrance," Brandon answered.

"What happened to you?" Riven asked.

"I don't remember. All I remember is that guy talking to Bloom," Sky responded.

"Is someone jealous?" Brandon teased.

"Be quiet!" Sky shouted. He looked over to Aichi. "What happened to him and where is my bike?" He asked.

"We were hoping that you would explain that to us," Brandon responded.

"I think he will have the answer," Riven said pointing at Aichi. He pulled Aichi up from the ground. They went inside Red Fountain together.

Happy Birthday, Tizzy!

This is my new story! It is something a little different (American Cartoon vs Japanese Cartoon, quite different), but I hope it was sufficient quality.

Anyways, I'll keep it short today! Let's wish Tizzy a happy birthday and hope I have the work ethic to finish editing the next chapter by next week!
