Secret

I OWN NOTHING!

Chapter 10: The secret revealed

Kenta

"What do you mean by that?" I ask her. She looks from Yu to me. She sighs heavily and closes her eyes.

"Have you ever heard of Roftle?"

"No?"

"He is the spirit of evil between the dimensions. I am the spirit of good, Emeraldle. We are constantly fighting for control. Roftle…he…has taken control of this dimension." Gasps sound from all around the room.

"But...how?" Dynamis asks.

"That is still unknown. Even I don't know how he accomplished this. Somehow, he managed to enter your dimension and take you all from it. I was too weak to stop him."

"Why do you say that?"

"As Roftle grows stronger, I grow weaker. Anyway, when he took you from your dimension, I was able to fight him a little. I created the secret as a way of warning you of what had happened. I appeared to you five because you still had some memories. You were the ones I had tried to save."

"So, do we know each other in the other dimension?" I ask.

"Yes, you are all the best of friends. That is why when Roftle brought you here, he tried to separate you by created barriers. He knew what I had done and used against you."

"How do you say that?" Tsubasa raises his eyebrows.

"For example, your relationship with Ryuga…that was formed from an old event, correct?"

"Yes."

"Roftle took an old memory from your mind and used it to create that gap. It was a memory from your dimension."

"By why did he need us separated?" Madoka thinks for a moment and Yu finishes her thought.

"What's wrong with us being together…?"

"Your friendships have the power needed to dethrone him in essence." Emeraldle explains. I think about this. I remember someone said something about friendship being powerful.

"I…" I start to say but stop and rub my forehead. I am having trouble remembering it. "I remember someone saying something like that."

"Me too." Tsubasa and Yu echo. Madoka and Dynamis nod in agreement.

"Is that what you meant when you said when you said you saved some of our memories…?" I ask and she nods.

"Yes. They was one person in your group who impacted it the most…do you remember who it was?"

"Um…." We all think for a moment.

"I can't tell you or help you in any way. You must remember." Everyone thinks a little longer and we all seem to get it at the same time.

"GINGKA!"

"Yes, your friend, Gingka Hagane. He met each one of you, previously, and impacted your lives greatly. You were all great friends with him. It was how you all met each other even."

"So do we need him to get home?" I ask.

"Yes, Gingka will be the deciding factor in your return home."

"Yeah guys remember? We thought Gingka might be a secret keeper." Madoka looks around the room.

"I guess we were close." Yu smiles a little. I smile a little as Yu continues with a joke of, "I told you so!" and Madoka chastise him saying, "No, you didn't!" I notice Tsubasa's grimacing a little. He looks like he's in pain; I wonder if something's wrong.

"Anyway, you were saying, Emeraldle?" Dynamis interrupts the bickering and everyone focus back in.

"Thank you." She smiles warmly his way. "As I was saying, you will need to find Gingka and convince him to help you. That shouldn't be too hard because he retained some of his memories as well."

"Great…that means we just need to find him." Yu practically repeats.

"But there is a problem." Dynamis says.

"What?"

"Gingka's missing." Tsubasa finishes. I notice a shine of sweat on his forehead. Something's wrong but the conversation continue before I can say anything.

"How do we know that?" Yu asks.

"Because Gingka hasn't been here the last several days. I remember hearing something about him missing once. I was passing the school office when I heard some teachers talking." Madoka answers.

"It is vital that you find him and get his help. I have helped you all I can." Emeraldle snaps her fingers and a small pendent appears in my hand. By the gasps of the others, I can tell they all got one too.

"What are these for?" I ask like an idiot would. She explains that if we ever need her, we should hold it to our lips and say her name.

"It will only work once so please be careful." Everyone nods. "Good luck, my heroes." She disappears in a small flash of light.

"Okay, we need to find Gingka as soon as possible." Dynamis says and we all agree.

"Where could he be? Does anyone know of any places he could have gone?" Madoka asks. Everyone is silent as we think. A crash sounds and we all look over. Tsubasa sits on his knees, holding his head.

"Tsubasa…is everything okay?" Yu asks and in response, a dark aura surrounds him. Tsubasa stands up and the aura shifts a little. He groans in pain as electricity dances around him. Yu tries to get closer but Tsubasa throws him back.

"AHH!" He screams and the dark aura stabilizes. He breathes heavily. Madoka runs to Yu's side while Dynamis tries to grab Tsubasa. Dynamis gets thrown across the room and I stand there frozen in fear.

"TSUBASA!" Yu screams as Tsubasa runs from the room.

"What happened to him?!" I ask. We stare at the door for a couple moments in shock.

Thanks for reading this chapter of Secret. Only five more chapters….*tear*. I hope to write another chapter today because this is yesterday's chapter. I had to do school and then my grandma threw me a Sweet Sixteen birthday party. I had tons of fun and thanks for the birthday wishes, guys. I feel loved.

So, the secret has been explained and now they have an objective. But what happened to Tsubasa?! I'll give you a hint. It's in chapter 7. If you reread it, the answer's near the end. If you don't catch it, don't worry about it. It will be revealed in the next chapter.

I also tried to explain Gingka's importance in the story. I had told you guys earlier he would have a part.

Hope you liked it. Review and tell me what you thought. Thanks for reading. TTYL
