Kyousuke had fallen asleep after 30 minutes of the flight. Kuroudu gently placed a blanket over the boy and took of the boy's glasses.

"Is he really that tired?" Jirou whispered to the blonde French. "Yup." Kuroudu replied. "What was he doing anyway?" Jirou asked as both of the teens got into a conversation. Kouya was sitting at the back, resting his head at the back of the seat while closing his eyes. "Gathering some data for the Garuda Phoenix…" Kouya's eyes widened at the sound of Garuda Phoenix's name.

"He said he wanted to learn another attack for Garuda Phoenix… he's also working on our new moves too, Jirou!" Kuroudu smiled.

"Really? I didn't know Raging Bullet still have techniques to be learned!" Jirou blinked. "Actually… he said that any Crush Gear could imitate another Gear's technique…" Kuroudu explained, "It is very possible for me to do Shining Sword Breaker too! Since Shooting Phantom has a drill that serves as the sword… although, I wouldn't call it 'Sword' Breaker but more like Shining 'Drill' Breaker!" Both Jirou and Kuroudu chuckled silently.

Kouya felt as if his heart skipped a beat and lightning struck. Slowly, questions and anger started to fill up his mind, 'It's possible for other Gears to learn another's technique?' Kouya thought. 'No! No one must know 'Shining Sword Breaker'! That attack is made by my brother and no one is allowed to use it but me and him!'

Kouya felt his hand clutch. 'No… That's being selfish, Kouya!' A voice in his head said as he shook his head but then, pressure blinded him… leaving him in the midst of greed.

"NO!" Kouya suddenly yelled as he stood up. Everyone else jumped and looked at him. "What's wrong, Kouya?" Lilika asked. "No one is allowed to use Shining Sword Breaker except me and my brother!" Kouya raged in anger.

Kyousuke was awake by now and was now arguing with Kouya. "How dare you!" Kouya pushed Kyousuke as Kyousuke fell back, caught by Kuroudu. "Carlos used it! Why weren't you bothered when he used it?"

"I was bothered!" Kouya yelled.

"What's wrong with you, Kouya?" Kyousuke yelled. "Ever since you became World Champion, you-"

"Changed!" Kouya took the word right out of Kyousuke's mouth. "I know I changed! And so WHAT? I don't care what other people think! I won't allow you to mimic Shining Sword Breaker for some useless Gear!"

"You FOOL!" Kyousuke yelled at Kouya. "All you ever think is about you and your brother! I wish you never had become World Champion! Your face and your head are getting thicker and thicker by the minute!"

"Shut up, Jin!" Kouya snapped as Kyousuke's eyes widened. "Don't tell me things like you know everything! You may be a Gear Master but you're nothing but a weakling! Don't forget that it was your fault Kuroudu lost because you didn't arrive in-"

"KOUYA!" Kaoru scolded as Kouya noticed Kyousuke's eyes were now full of guilt and sadness.

"Yo!" Takeshi's face appeared in the screen again. Only to see the scenery of a hand slap right across Kouya's cheek. Everybody went silent as Takeshi blinked. "Is this a bad timing?" he asked. "I think I should leave you guys alo-"

"Yeah! It was my fault and will always be!" Kyousuke yelled with a tone of sadness in his voice.

"J- Jin… I- I didn't mean-"

"You stupid idiot!" Kyousuke mumbled as he gritted his teeth as clutched his hand. "Okay… this fight is just a misunderstanding! I suggest that you guys just stop this! Cool your head off for a while!" Jirou stepped in the middle and slowly shoved the 2 boys away from each other.

"Oh boy…" Takeshi sighed from the screen, "At least you're almost here! That way… we can solve this problem of yours a lot easier!"

"Jin… I'm really sorry!" Kouya said but Kyousuke paid no attention as Kuroudu dragged the younger boy to the other side. "J- Jin…" Kouya walked to him but was held off by Jirou.

The plane started to rumble… their bags fell off from their seats as everyone grabbed hold for support. "Hey! Jim, what's wrong?" Takeshi faced the pilot of the plane. "Th- there's a problem, sir!" Jim trembled, "It seems that one of the propellers have been damaged!"

"What?" Takeshi gasped, "Everyone! Hold on tight to something! It's going to be a rough landing!"

"What's happening, Takeshi?" Lilika asked anxiously. "Don't worry, Lilika! Everything's going to be fine! I won't let anything happen to you guys!" Takeshi vowed.

Everything was moving as if they were in some dangerous earthquake. Kuroudu and Kyousuke were supporting themselves behind Jim's seat as Jirou and Lilika sat on their chairs with their seatbelts on. Kouya leaned himself on the wall beside Kaoru.

"Don't give up, Jim!" Takeshi supported his private pilot. "I'm doing- my best- Sir!" Jim struggled, as he pulled on the stirring handle as hard as he could.

"We're going to be okay…" Kaoru chanted as she tried to support everyone.

"Bite your tongues…" Kuroudu advised.

They felt like plummeting to the ground faster than before as they braced themselves more. Kaoru had tears in her eyes as all of her hope had completely vanished. "Kaoru… don't cry!" Kouya smiled. Kaoru nodded as she wiped her tears away.

Finally, they slid on the hard ground… but it wasn't the end yet! Although they landed, the plane was still moving. They slid to a forest as numerous trees came crashing down the moment the plane hit them. The plane was shaking more roughly and Kouya felt himself fly to the other side.

"Kouya!" Jirou gasped.

Kouya felt himself falling when he finally noticed that there was no wall to support him. He plunged downwards and the next thing he knew, he was reaching out his hand for someone to catch him.

Kaoru reached but was too late.

"KOUYA!!!"
