Chapter 4: Tough Intervention

Back at White Dove Academy, the students are taking a lunch break after class.

As for Seiya, he sat alone on the bench and as he began to cry over the loss of Ririka, he felt someone's hand touching his shoulder.

"Seiya?"

He turns around to see Ririka's classmates, Anna and Karin. "Please...leave me alone."

Regardless of his request, they sat down next to him.

"Seiya, we know how you're feeling. You can't let it bother you all day" told Anna.

"Just try and relax" added Karin.

He thought to himself about Ririka's real fate. "I don't want to know what's worse: Letting it go or Ririka gone missing is nothing more than a stupid lie. What else is going to happen?"

Suddenly, strange dark purple clouds have appeared and it began covering the entire sky. As the thunder roared, lightning strikes violently across the area and all of the students began to feel worried and scared.

Seiya looks up at the sky and noticed it with deep concern on his face. "What's going on?"

"I have no idea" told Karin.

Anna replied, while feeling very nervous. "Well, I do."

"And what might that be?" asked Seiya.

"Simple. Head for the gym!" yelled Anna, as they head towards the gymnasium.

Once they've reached inside, they close the doors behind them after catching their breath.

"What in the world was that?" thought Karin.

"You got me" told Anna.

As for Seiya, he was contemplating about the bizarre clouds that were shown outside. "It couldn't have been Dark Joker. Nurse Angel had already defeated them. So, how can it still be here? Unless..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Karin spots someone. "Miyuki?"

Then, sure enough, they've spot the individual that didn't got along with Ririka in the past: Miyuki.

They became awfully surprised that both she and her colleagues came here, before they did.

"When did you..." Miyuki interrupts Karin.

"You don't have to explain yourself about me. The moment that I saw the sky becoming dark, I came in here first before all of you did." Miyuki's expression immediately turned from serious into sadness. "But...it's no fun without her around. She's the only person that I ever get into an argument with and it usually lightens up my mood."

"Are you talking about Ririka?" asked Anna.

Miyuki nodded her head slightly.

"I get it. You're trying to find some closure with her after she took off from her eleventh birthday" says Karin.

"Well, that's convenient" thought Seiya.

Suddenly, a loud evil laugh echoed throughout the gymnasium and it frightened everyone.

"Wh-What's that voice? It sounds so...creepy" cried Miyuki.

A few seconds later, the dark figure appeared on the podium and wearing black armor.

"Who the heck are you?" asked Seiya to the shadowy individual.

"Oh, come now. Is this how you treat an uninvited guest?" He removed his black helmet and shows his face to Seiya and everybody.

The moment Seiya recognized him from way back; his eyes were widened in shock. "Why, you're...Buros! B-But, how did you survive?"

He scoffed. "Even I asked myself the same question." As he stares at him and his companions from a few away, he continued. "Naturally, I would spread my newly adapted Black Vaccine onto you all, but I've come up with a much better idea."

"And what might that be?" Seiya asked him.

With a wicked smile on his face, he waved his two-bladed sword covered with the Black Vaccine and lights up the gymnasium to reveal a very awful and surprising sight that sent chills down to Seiya, Karin, Anna and Miyuki's spines: Lying unconscious on the floor are Ririka's family, her colleagues from her parents' hospital and all of her other classmates from school; along with the dog, Herb.

"Oh, my god!" cried Miyuki.

"This is terrible!" added Karin.

Anger began to boil Seiya's blood from inside and questioned Buros about this despicable act. "What have you done to them?! They didn't do anything wrong!"

"You forget, boy. I'm Dark Joker's master and I get to do when and whatever I want." He later grinned. "You're all probably wondering as to why I'm out here."

"Well, I do. What business do you have with Moriya-san's family, anyway?" Miyuki asks.

"You'll find out soon enough." He then detects some presence coming this way. "In fact, we're expecting some visitors."

By the time he mentioned it; the doors were bolted open and in comes Dewey and Kanon in his earthly attire.

"Buros!" Dewey gasped in surprise to see Ririka's family and friends on the floor, not responding. "Let them go, right now!"

"Whatever you're up to, you won't get away!" informed Kanon to him.

"I think not. Perhaps, a little deal should be made. You either divulge your true self or I will infect them with the Black Vaccine. And believe me; you're in no position to bargain with."

Kanon didn't know what to do, regarding the safety of Ririka's family and friends. He clenched his fist tightly and as he grunted with displeasure, he replied. "Alright, than." He removed his school outfit and replaced it with his own clothing from his home planet. "My real name is Kanon. I'm a mentor to Princess Helena from Queen Earth."

Miyuki and all of the girls became shocked that the exchange student from England is actually an individual from another world.

"Y-You've got to be kidding me?! This whole time, you coming from England was all one big lie?"

He hang his head down. "I'm afraid so. I apologize for keeping this secret from you all. However...". As he raises his head up, he briefly smiled. "I did not come alone with Dewey." He turns to the young girl with a slight nod.

She nods back and walked right inside the gymnasium.

As soon as Seiya recognized the young girl, his body froze like ice and his mouth was opened dry. "No, it can't be. R-Ririka? Is that really you?"
