Summary: All of Mikan's friends have teamed up to come up with a good plan to get Mikan out of the clutches of the elementary principal. But WHO will be her knight in shining armor this time???

Chapter 7: Her Knight in Shining Armor? Part 1

"This is crazy AND stupid..." Kukai commented in disbelief as the "Lets save Mikan" meeting took place.

In the end, Allen and Mia, the two representives of America's rightful dangerous ability groups, decided to get Mikan's old friends' help. As Mia had stated when she was a bit more cheerful, "The more, the better." Ryu and Kukai couldn't stand that they were actually working together on this. Sayumi and Suki guessed that this was only because they wanted to have all the credit when they saved Mikan soon. Mike tried not to even care, but it was getting harder as Ryu and Kukai continued to state things that he agreed with 100% just a while ago. Jin, Suki, and Sayumi didn't seem to mind it at all. They looked as if they were glad to get more help. Of course, Nonoko kept a close eye out on Sayumi to make sure that she didn't do anything suspicious with Koko, just to be on the safe side. Allen and Mia were too busy thinking of a way to better Natsume's plan. In other words: it was way too dangerous of a plan.

Who the heck would just break in without any warning into the room where they kept Mikan? It was the same as asking the enemy to catch them. Natsume thought it was a pretty good idea either way and got annoyed when Mia and Allen disagreed. To his annoyance, his friends agreed with them too on this one.

"You what do YOU suggest that we do?" Natsume asked Allen and Mia in anger. There was a moment of silence in the room. Mia and Allen looked at each other. They were probably having a quick conversation in their minds seeing that Allen had the mind reading alice. After a while, both nodded and faced Natsume once more.

"How about this then? Natsume and whoever else here that is in the dangerous ability class, under Persona, will distract him and the elementary school principal somehow. And..." Allen began to explain. Natsume interrupted him before he got the chance to explain any further.

"And just HOW do you expect us to do THAT?" Natsume asked him with completely disagreement. Some nodded in disagreement. It would be possible to distract Persona, but it would be hard to distract the elementary principal. Mia gave out a sigh and rolled her eyes. Seriously, was Hyuuga, known to be one of the smartest in Gakuen Alice, THIS dumb? Couldn't he give a moment at least, to think it out?

"Hyuuga. THINK. Maybe you could tell Persona that you found Yuka's hiding place or something...I know that would definitely get the attention of both." Mia told him in a bored tone. Natsume looked at her with a confused expression. It had been a while since he took missions, so he blanked out on who Yuka was for a while. After a few seconds, he remembered that Yuka was Mikan's mom, and also Persona and the ESP's target. How could he forget THAT easily? Maybe he WAS getting rusty afterall.

"Ok now thats out of the way..." Allen began, earning him everybody's attention again.

"The other higher ups are mostly on our side...Even the ones that aren't have no choice since they are under either her uncle or that lesbian principal..." Allen started again, but this time, Hotaru interrupted.

"She isn't lesbian, she just hates boys." she stated simply. Hotaru had gotten to know Hii-sama a bit after entering middle school, and realized that she wasn't all that bad. Actually, she was great once you got to know her. Especially to pretty girls and those who got on her good side. Hotaru just so happened to be one of Hii-sama's favorites. Allen read that off Hotaru's mind and gave a small smile showing that this plan would become a lot more easier.

"Ok so we have 'Hii-san' on our side too then thanks to Imai...The high school principal is no doubt, on our side, because Mikan is his niece. As long as the dangerous guys are distracted, it'll be way easier. We can start persuading them to let Mikan go. If those two were there, they'd do everything to make sure Mikan stayed guilty. And if persuading doesn't work..." Allen said calmly. He looked at Kukai.

"We'll just bust her out and go back to America. Afterall, Sam ADORES us." Kukai said with a smirk. Finally things were beginning to look brighter. But this was mostly because Natsume was in charge of the distraction, meaning that he wouldn't be there to save Mikan. Well, only unless they had to use that plan B. Allen would probably make Natsume and all the other dangerous ability dudes participate. Afterall, busting somebody out from a highly guarded place was nearly impossible. Not impossible actually...Just very hard.

"Tch. And take her away from us again? I don't think so." Natsume growled at him. There was no way that he was going to let Mikan leave his side again. 5 years was long enough and he wasn't got to wait any longer.

"You picking a fight?" Ryu began. As much as he hated Kukai, he'd rather be on his side than Natsume's.

"Can both of you shut up? We're TRYING to focus on resucing Mikan here." Mia groaned. This was why she was beginning to hate guys ("Why do you hate guys so much these days? You're always fooling around with them and breaking their heart." Sayumi asked her. "Its not the boy gender in general....Its just those two..." Mia answered as she glanced at Kukai and Ryuu who were arguing again). They hadn't shut up even after Mia's first warning, so Hotaru took out her newly upgraded baka bazooka and shot at both of them. As strong as they were, they couldn't avoid it because they were too busy to notice.

"Ok, now continue." Hotaru signaled Mia and Allen. The two sighed. This...might turn out a bit harder than expected. But this was to be expected in the end. Its like...Oil not mixing with water in one way to describe it.

"Ne Jin..." Saki whispered to him while they started the discussion again.

"Hai Saki?"

"I think...That this might turn out a bit harder than we expected." Saki commented. Jin gave out a nervous laugh. This was what was currently happening during the discussion: Kukai and Ryuu knocked out, Ken still missing, Koko drooling over Sayumi who was being watched by Nonoko, Anna and Yuu sweet talking with each other, Natsume not even paying attentioning, Mike trying to refrain himself from exploding, Ruka nearly asleep, and Saki and Jin themselves not even paying attentioning to the discussion. Pretty much, the only ones who were actually paying attentioning were Sumire, Mochuu, Sayumi, Allen, Mia, Hotaru, Nobara, Tsubasa, Misaki, and Youichii.

"RYU!" somebody shouted. Ryu and Kukai shot awake at the sudden yell. The discussion also came to a halt. A little boy, around Youichi's age, suddenly appeared at the doors. He was out of breathe and he had a worried expression on his face.

"Ken? Whats wrong? And where the heck were you?" Ryu asked, still trying to get over the fact that a girl with an invention alice had knocked him out cold. Also, he was surprised that his younger brother wasnt' calm at all. This was all new to him. Ken was a boy who wouldn't even cry over a girlfriend's death. But then again, that was because he was a playboy.

"Trouble...Mikan....The ESP jerk..."

Everybody froze on the spot.

Thats all everybody needed to know or hear. With this, their rescue plan would be set to action.

"Then this decides it. We're going with plan B. It seems that Persona and ESP are finally beginning to move." Allen said as his calm face was beginning to change into one of fright. Hotaru clutched Ruka's sleeves tightly.

"It'll be ok Hotaru...I promise that we'll all work together to save Mikan." Ruka comforted her. But for some strange reason, even when this was coming from her own boyfriend, it didn't reassure her one bit. She had a bad feeling. But it was just a feeling...Right? I mean even though that it seemed impossible for them to work together at first...It was slowly beginning to work out...They had one thing in common...They had one goal they were sharing...They had one person they wanted to save.

But why was it that Hotaru was still feeling so uneasy inside?

Something isn't right...What is this feeling that I keept having...?

Natsume ran out of the classroom first. Ken just looked at him leaving in a rush then looked back inside the classroom. Afterall, he had just arrived so he had no clue what was going on. Better yet, he didn't even know why these 2 groups were together in the first place.

Kukai and Ryu quickly got up and followed after Natsume. Ken looked at Mia wanting answers.

"Lets just...We're in a temporary truce...and lets just say...Jerks like them are usually best in protecting what they love the most." Mia explained with a sigh but quickly smiled a bit. This just killed Ken's brain.

"Huh?"

Allen didn't want to agree with that little comment. He had wanted to be the one that was best suited for protecting Mikan. With that, the usually most composed boy ran out of the room. Mike followed after, not wanting to loose to the others. Soon, everybody ran out, leaving Mia and Hotaru alone in the room.

"Is it just me or you too Imai?" Mia asked as she continued to look at the open door. Hotaru stayed quiet and faced up with closed eyes.

"Lets just hope that we're wrong this time..."

Mikan...I wasn't able to be with you during the time you needed me the most...

But this time...

This one time at least...

I will save you....

So please...

Be careful....
