One week had past and I was out in town buying ingredients for a party Quinn had set up for people with Guardian Charas (the shortened version), and I was in charge of making snacks for everyone, while Quinn found people and Sam did the decorations. I was going to make the honey cheesecake from the book from the library and some cakes,

"Right, this is the last of the ingredients" I said picking up the honey and placing it in the trolley, after paying I went to 'Decode' a patisserie that had opened a little less than a month ago but was popular. Vanya had started wanting to go there every time we came into town but the place was almost always packed, today we got the last table available

"You're the one from before?" I looked up from my drink to see the person with the laptop from before standing next to me "can I sit here?" he asked pointing to the spare seat, I nodded and he sat down and went on his computer after buying a tart "So what's your name since we seem to be meeting, I'm Jacob"

"Alice" I answered "so what's that software?" I asked after awhile

"You can create games with it" he said not even looking up from the screen, "Why do you like games"

"Yeah, I play a lot of games" I said happily, the two of us started talking about the different games and I found he went to the same collage as me and did the game design course there.

"I'll give you the game beta when it done if I see you" He said leaving the table, I nodded and headed to the club house where I got to work cooking. Soon the party had begun and I got to meet more people with guardian charas, there were so many people but I ended up sitting with Vanya and Maree over in a corner when we noticed Ray came over to us.

"Didn't I tell you to make chocolate cheesecake" He pouted "but the Honey one was very nice, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you" He smiled and gave a warm bow

"So is your owner here" I asked looking around

"No, Jacobs not really…" He looked down sadly

"Wait, Jacob" I asked, giving him a description of Jacob

"Yes, you met him?" Ray was happy because Jacob never spoke to people with guardian charas

"To be honest I wish he would listen to me, he yells at me a lot" Ray sank down to the grass, and we stayed silent for a while until Vanya finally stopped eating

"I'm sure everything will be fine, people are like that it can take a while for them to get used to us?" She patted Ray on the head and forced him to go and dance with her

"Well, we better start clearing up before the mess gets out of hand" I said getting up and clearing some of the empty plates

"Thanks for today" Quinn smiled as he walked over to me, I told him it was no problem but he said he wanted to repay me at some time. I had walked out of the house after clearing up and had started to go home when I saw a group of people fighting, I turned to look away until I noticed Jacob was one of them, I watched Ray try to stop them

"Fighting no good, it only gets you hurt" Ray shouted to Jacob, but he carried on. Ray ended up character changing with Jacob and got him to run away; which I followed after them avoiding the other man. We ended up in the Garden by the theatre when Ray cancelled the Change

"Why did you do that?" Jacob shouted at Ray

"Because can't stand you being hurt and neither can you" Ray cried back,

"This is why I told you to stay away, you're useless; you want everyone not to fight but that's not going to happen!" Jacob got up and turned to me "Why do you let them control you!" before running off, Ray headed off in the other direction I looked at each of them before I ran after Jacob

"You know; he's not wrong. Fighting people just makes you look stupid and also he's not useless. None of them are" I yelled at him with the help of Vanya's character change "And if he's your guardian chara then you must not want to fight really" I said remembering they are what you want to be. Jacob stared back at me "Then what about your how are they helpful?" he asked

"Vanya helps bring out my confidence of talking while Maree can help me get my dream to own my own patisserie" I argued "Both are important to me, and I'd never change them" Jacob walked away with that' I went to follow but my phone started ringing

"Alice, get to the local park there's an outbreak of X eggs, hurry" Sam yelled. At the park the Eggs covered the place; you could hear them miles away, again saying impossible. I kept using the blood sword (an item I can use when character changed with Vanya) to destroy them but there were so many, then they started hatching and unlike normal one they were all the same black with hollow white eyes with a large X on their forehead, they had more powers and their attacks got worst. I could hear the people they belong to crying inside all of them had lost their dream,

"Nothing is impossible, maybe unlikely but you can still reach for it" I yelled out, the X characters stood still almost understanding before going on a rampage, "Vanya , it's time" I shouted out "My own heart Unlock" I said as I got enveloped in light and transformed into Blood Gem. I gain a scythe destroyed most of the X Characters. I then heard a familiar voice

"I'm useless, he hates me" Ray said, dark energy covered him as I yelled out to him, His hair became spiked and darkened, his clothing changed to a black top with a blue flame on and jeans; He also gained two dark blue bat-like wings with a X appearing on the side of his forehead, Ray flew off and I chased after him!

"Take care of these" I called to Sam and Quinn who had just appeared,

I chased Ray all around town finally cornering him at a butterfly house

"Calm down!" I yelled in frustration, Ray looked at me blankly before hurling dark spikes at me, I only just dodged cutting my face "It's okay, it's hurt right? Being rejected" I lowered her voice and step closer

"Imposable! Useless!" Ray cried out in despair hurling more spikes at me. I leaped forward allowing the spikes to hit me as I held Ray tight…

"It's okay, you're not useless even if James reject's you now…I'm sure someday he'll acknowledge you…I'm sure of it" I continued to stroke Ray's hair until my eye's blacked out from the pain and blood loss.

I woke up in a white room, sitting up slowly I felt my body go numb I lay back down, I looked at my arm where one of the spikes had hit me to find punctures "Suppose that's a good thing" I sighed

"Alice! Your wake" Sam shouted slamming the door open, running over and hugging me "You okay? Anywhere hurt?"

"I'm okay…" I said groggily not even attempting to move due to the shooting pain in my chest

"Okay so listen here the story me, you and Quinn left the club late and a group attacked us so when they ask say that, on another note the X eggs were dealt with"

"What about Ray" I said weakly

"That's when things get odd, shugo charas that are already born but end up turning into X characters look different and act different to both normal x character and shugo chara's, this is my first time see one for real and after you collapsed he vanished. Still no word from him" Sam said sitting on the stool and sighing.

We both wondered what would happen next.
