Everyone, except for Kyoya and Alex, sat in the basement of Madoka's dad's shop listening to Trent explain where he had been. He told them that he found an invisi-portal and taken it to Mesogog's lair. Once there he said he had grabbed Sandra's gem and the machine and left. He told them that he destroyed the machine so Mesogog could never use it again. When he was finished he looked at Dr. O, knowing what he was going to say.

"Trent, you took a bog risk going there alone. If Mesogog would have caught you we don't know what he'd have done," Dr. O scolded.

"I know," Trent said. "But I couldn't just sit and wait any longer. I had to do something. This shouldn't have had to happen to anyone. It happened to me and I know how bad it feels to hurt your friends. If it meant that Sandra wouldn't have to go through this, or anyone on the team, I was willing to take the risk."

"Just tell us where your going next time before you disappear like that, alright?" Kira said. "We were worried sick about you."

"Alright, Kira. I will," Trent promised.

"So, you did get the piece of Sandra's gem?" Conner asked.

Trent pulled it out of his back pocket and showed it to everyone. "So that means we just need to put it back into place, right?" Gingka questioned.

Dr. O nodded. "Right."

"Only one problem; how do we do that without Sandra hurting us?" Benkei asked.

"Yeah, she isn't exactly cooperating," Kenta added.

I have an idea but nobody would let me do it, Trent thought.

"We don't," Dr. O answered. "We'll take care of this. You guys can just stay out of it."

"Good luck getting Yo-yo to listen to you," Yu snorted.

"He'd better," Alex said, coming into the room.

"Is he alright?" Benkei asked.

"He'll be fine but he broke his arm," Alex replied. "He just needs to take it easy. If he does then his arm will heal fine."

"And if he doesn't?" Benkei questioned.

"Then he risks shattering the whole bone in his arm," Alex answered.

Trent turned away from the group and headed into the other room, where Kyoya was sitting, his look still as cool and calm as ever. When he entered, Kyoya looked at Trent once before looking away again. "You're arm ok?" Trent asked.

"Fine," Kyoya answered in a growl.

Silence stretched between the two. After awhile, Trent broke it and asked, "Why did you fight her?" I've got to know. "You knew you could get severely hurt but you fought her anyway. It wasn't to protect you or Alex, I know. So why'd you do it?"

Kyoya stared at him for a moment before answering. "Sandra is my girlfriend. When I first met her she was just another girl, but then we became more than that. She has put her life on the line to help me. She could've gotten severely hurt but she didn't care. She would stand by me no matter what. I would do the exact same for her."

"When did she put her life on the line for you?" Trent asked.

"When she met my father," Kyoya answered. "It may have been just a beybattle but all my father wanted to do was hurt his opponent. But Sandra fought by my side anyway. If she can do that for me I know I can do this for her."

Trent stared at him. His connection with Sandra is different than anything I've ever seen before. He's not really close to any of his friends but with Sandra it's as if the two could never be separated. "So you like her?" Trent asked.

"Of course. She wouldn't be my girlfriend if I didn't," Kyoya answered, rolling his eyes.

Trent shook his head. "I think it's more than that. You love her." When Kyoya said nothing, he continued. "My only question is how much you love her? How much are you willing to risk for her?"

"What are you implying?" Kyoya asked.

"I've got an idea, but it would involve putting you in harms way. You already broke your arm, and you could risk shattering it if you don't take it easy," Trent explained. "Are you willing to risk that to save Sandra?"

"Shattering my arm means nothing. If it's to save Sandra, I would give my life," Kyoya replied.

"So you're up for it?" Trent questioned.

Kyoya nodded. "No need to ask."
