Chapter Four: Ambushing

Kei, who was currently in the other Alice Academy, was sitting on the couch, grumbling. As Reo walked into the room, he looked up. "Reo, are you sure we can get them?" he asked.

"Of course." Reo said. "Do you think I will just let them go like this? We've got to think up of a plan first."

"Yeah, like I don't know that." Kei snorted.

"Then why don't you get to work?" Reo asked. "All you've been doing these past few days was sit on the couch moping around. Mikan won't be yours unless you get moving."

"Fine. But you tell me. What am I suppose to do?" Kei asked. "Since you're telling me to get moving, why don't you direct me?"

"Are you that stupid? Today at night, we go to their Alice Academy and trash the place. You sneak into Mikan's room, and I'll go get Natsume." Reo told him. "By the way, watch out for the robot. We don't want this plan to fail."

"That's easy for you to say… My Alice is completely useless on her. She has the nullification Alice. Duh." Kei scoffed, standing up.

Reo stared at him. "Are you stupid?" he asked. "You might as well fool her into thinking you would like to be her friend. Then, right at the correct moment, just snatch her away."

"I really don't think I can pull this off." Kei said. "Why don't you just snag both of them?"

"Do you plan on breaking the deal?" Reo scowled. "I don't need you in my plan. It'll just be more convenient if you're apart of my plan."

"Fine. How about I just pay you afterwards?" Kei asked. "I'll give you as much as you want."

Reo seemed to think about it. Then, he glanced back at Kei and smirked. "Sure."

That night, Reo brought some of his followers and sneaked into the other Alice Academy. He started whispering orders to his followers. "Alright. The 5 of you go and get Mikan." He said, pointing at 5 people dressed in black with glasses. Then, he turned and faced another man. "You. Follow me to get Natsume." The man nodded. Then, their plan broke out. "Make sure not to make any noises."

Reo ran quickly but soundlessly to Natsume. He quietly opened the door to Natsume while tiptoeing into the room. When he saw Natsume lying in his bed sleeping peacefully, he smirked thinking, 'Finally. He's finally going to be under MY control! I'll use his powers to the best.' Reo reached his hand forward and grabbed Natsume's blanket and tossed it aside.

At this slight movement, Natsume woke up alarmed. He quickly kicked Reo and the stomach and jumped off of bed while glaring at the two people in front of him. "What do you want?" he growled.

"Natsume… You know very well what I want, now don't you?" Reo smiled evilly. "Oh, by the way, it's best for you if you don't struggle. My followers have probably already caught your oh-so-dear girlfriend. I don't know what can happen in there, now can I?"

"You bastard! Let her go already! Why are you idiots so desperate to have her?!" Natsume shouted. "She's suffered enough."

"Oh like you haven't. Don't go talking back now, Natsume." Reo snorted, as he started using his alice by singing. Reo started to control Natsume as he desperately tried to stay conscious of himself. But his struggle was useless. Reo made him walk toward his follower. "Grab him."

Reo's follower held Natsume tightly and jumped out of his room, while Reo followed behind, making sure not to leave any evidence. They ran to Mikan's room, opening her bedroom door, expecting her to be captured already. But when they opened the door, they saw a pile of bodies lying on the mattress. "Natsume!" Mikan cried horrified. "Let him go!"

Mikan ran towards Reo and pushed him before he was able to make a move. She then turned to his follower and kicked him in the shins as she grabbed Natsume and backed away to her bed. She laid him on the bed and shook him awake. "Natsume!" she called to him. "Wake up!"

When Natsume awoke, he went in front of Mikan, and threw a few fireballs at the two stumbling people in front of them. Then, Mikan's robot got to action! Its eyes turned to a glint and it started its boxing moves on Reo and his follower. First, Reo got beat up while Mikan nullified the alices of everyone, after Natsume finished throwing his fireballs. Then, Reo's follower got socked in the stomach. With just that, the two villains fainted. The robot then kicked the men out of the room and continued to kick them until they were at the gate of the Alice Academy.

"Wow… that was easy." Mikan murmured. "Guess that robot really did come in handy!"

"Yeah… that WAS easy. I think a little too easy." Natsume noted. "Was Reo really that weak before?"

"No. I think definitely not." Mikan said.

Then, a shadow loomed in front of them. But before they could turn around and attack, both children were knocked out with the lamp from Mikan's room. "Nat…sume…." Mikan gasped as she fainted. The mysterious man started laughing evilly. "What a bunch of weak kids! I can't believe Reo was beat up so badly! The robot was so weak as well."

There at a corner of the room, lay the robot of Hotaru. Legs torn, arms ripped off, and eyes bashed in. It was a dreadful sight, but thank god it was only a robot.

Soon, Mikan and Natsume were carried off to the other Alice Academy with Reo and the followers. Mikan and Natsume were tossed into a room surrounded by metal and no windows. They locked the door and went to tend to the wounds.

"Reo, you suck! How'd you manage to get beat so badly?" the mysterious man, who was Reo's partner, asked.

"Oh that… the girl caught me off guard." Reo said. "Man was it painful!"

"I can tell. You look like you just went to a wall with spikes on it!" the guy said.

"What were you doing there anyway, Outa?" Reo asked. "I thought you had another mission?"

"I skipped it." Outa said proudly. "After all, I knew you idiots were going to fail! I mean look at you! Were you even prepared?"

"Somewhat…" Reo sighed.

Meanwhile, in the locked room where Mikan and Natsume were lying in, Natsume had already awoken. He looked and Mikan who was next to him and shook her awake. The idiots hadn't bothered tying them up. "Mikan! Wake up!"

"Hn…? What?" Mikan asked. "OH YEAH! Natsume! Are you okay?!?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. What about you?" Natsume asked.

"I am too, but my head really hurts. I think I'm bleeding." Mikan told him. "Where are we anyway?"

"We're in another Alice Academy. Reo and his friends has captured us." Natsume told her as he looked at the back of her head making sure that it was okay.

"Oh… what are we going to do, Natsume?!" Mikan cried. "Do you think they're going to KILL us?"

"No, of course not." Natsume told her. "Reo obviously wants my power, and you're probably for Kei."

"KEI-KUN?! No!! I don't want that!" Mikan cried, shaking her head.

"Let's just hope everything turns out alright then…" Natsume sighed.
