Chapter 4: X Eggs and Antidote
I don't own Shugo Chara
The group stood where they were and everything was silent. No one made a sound or even move. You could even hear the sound of the clock ticking. The guardian characters was also quiet, but still crying over the loss of their two friends. Jackia opened her mouth, but closed it. Koko and Yaya was still stuck in there trance. Koko snapped out of her horrible trance and tears started to form in her eyes. "Ai…" Koko said under her breath.
"…We got to find a antidote…NOW!" Jackia mumbled and screamed the last word causing the others to jump a little.
"Jackia…"
"Just because we lost two people doesn't mean we can give up! We have to find that antidote before anyone else loses their guardian character," Jackia yelled at them. The others stared at Jackia and nodded.
"Yeah! No matter what we have to get that antidote!" Amu cried. The others cheered too. Rima stared at the floor, still being silent. Kusukusu flew up to Rima's eye level and looked at her with worry.
"Don't get sad Rima, we'll get that antidote!" Nagihiko told Rima and gave her a smile. Rima stared at Nagihiko and give him a rare smile.
"I'm…going outside…" Amu mumbled. She walked out of the Royal Garden, with her guardian characters following her. Koko looked at Jackia wondering if she can go with Amu and she nodded. Koko smiled and cheered in joy and ran after Amu with her other guardian characters following her also.
*Outside…*
Koko ran outside, panting, and saw Amu walking away. "Amu chan! Wait up!" Amu ignored Koko and continued walking. Koko get the sign and stayed silent, but continue to follow her. After ten minutes of walking Amu stopped, causing Koko to stop in her tracks also. "Amu?" Koko questioned. Amu gave out a scream and kick a pebble. "Amu!" Koko shouted.
"Sorry…it's just that…every time we fight Easter they always get worse, and…" Amu trailed off.
"And?" Koko questioned.
"And this time I'm infected by it! Who knows how long until Ran, Miki, Su or Dia turns into a X! We don't know how to make the antidote, we're practically lost!" Amu yelled in anger and kicked another pebble in fury. Koko opened her mouth, but nothing came out of it. Amu turned around about to continue walking until she saw a old planetarium. "Its…the planetaruim…"
"Are we lost?' Koko asked Amu. Amu shrugged and entered the dirty planetarium. Like usually they sat down in the front and watched to stars on the screen.
"I see you guys are in trouble," the former king said, as he sat down next to Amu. The two stayed silent. "You know…there is a way to get that antidote."
"Really? How?" Koko asked her. Tsukasa nodded and looked back at the stars. "Well? Tell us!"
"Right. Since this is worldwide, all the X Eggs will go to Easter so…" Tsukasa began.
"So?" Amu questioned.
"The X eggs that are gathered in Easter will be purified by you guys. The ones that aren't should be put in a drink," Tsukasa began to explain.
"What do you mean? I understand about of going back to Easter and purifying it, but the drink?" Amu questioned Tsukasa's explanation.
"You see, the ones whose hearts egg haven't been infected yet should get the antidote. If you put the antidote in the drink that everybody drinks, they will be feeling better," Tsukasa continued.
"Then whats the antidote? We've have been asking you the whole time!" Koko told Tsukasa getting annoyed.
"The ingredient are very difficult to find. Like I said its worldwide so each of the ingredient are only made in those countries," Tsukasa said.
"What are the countries then?" Amu asked him.
"Japan, United States, Russia, China, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland."
"All those countries!?" Ran shouted
"We can't purify all of those X Eggs!" Mikau shouted.
"So you need 5 cherry blossoms,"
"Easy…"
"2 lbs of American cheese, 3 bottles of vodka, 10 peonies, 5 scones, and…" Tsukasa continued and stop.
"And?" Koko and Amu asked annoyed.
"I-I…forgot…"
"WHAT? THE STAKE OF OUR DREAMS REST ON THAT ANTIDOTE!" Koko and Amu yelled in unison.
"Find something thats like from that country…" Tsukasa mumbled.
"How? Some of them are made in a different countries and there is no way we can go there!" Koko pointed out.
"But you guys can fly, so you guys can fly to each of those countries and get the stuff, after you get all the ingredients, you put in this potion and mixed it," Tsukasa explained, giving them an glass filled with purple liquid.
"Thanks!" Amu told Tsukasa and the both left the Royal Gardens. Their charas followed them, but Ran fell behind feeling dizzy. Two eggs shell was at the top and bottom of Ran and started to close together. Ran tried to fight back, by pushing the top shell up and kicking the bottom one down. Ran couldn't do anything and she knew it and gave up hope.
"Goodbye…Amu chan," Ran whispered, with a big tear rolling from her precious cheek and the egg closed and a big white X appeared on the egg.
Outside, Amu stopped in her tracks. Tears began to flood out of her eyes and roll down her cheeks.
"Amu?" Koko questioned. Amu turned around and faced Koko.
"Ran…is gone," she said.
