Alright my friends and I continue our fight with Xelvin. Last time we fought that Black Star guy and it turns out he can transform into a spirit beast as well. Boy it just seems like the more we get into this job the more creeps and weirdoes come out.
"The key is on Earth. You are on Earth. The horse will rise." Davis played the message he got to the others.
"Dude you got a weird taste in music." Matt said.
"It's not music it's a message." Tai said.
"When I came home this was on my computer." Davis said.
"But what does this mean? What does this message mean by a horse and a key?" Ken said.
"I think I know." Halo said. "Whoever sent this message must know something about the Spiritual Pegasus."
"Spiritual Pegasus?" Tai said.
"Oh yeah you told me and Davis about it. It's a Pegasus that has great power." Matt said.
"Is the Pegasus good or evil?" Ken said.
"It all depends on the one that controls it." Halo said. "The Pegasus is locked away between both the mortal world and the spirit world. The only way it can be revived is from one of two keys. There's a white key that brings the good side and a black key that brings out the evil."
"Okay so who could have sent this message?" Matt said.
"Whoever sent this message knows about the Pegasus and knows about us." Ken said.
"You think it would be the Rose Warriors?" Matt said.
"No or else they would have come right to us." Ken said.
"Then who could it be?" Davis said.
"We'll worry about that later, right now if someone sent you this message then they must know about Xelvin." Halo said. "You see the Pegasus has the power to free Xelvin completely if he is to gain control. He must be getting prepared to take control of it."
"So we need to revive it and have it under our control." Tai said.
"Exactly. In order to revive the Pegasus and have it on its good side we need the white Pegasus key and it's somewhere here on Earth." Halo said. "There's more we are going to have to use it in the place where the mortal world and the spirit world are connected."
"Where they are connected?" Tai said.
"So we need to cover to places at once." Matt said.
"That's easy, we split up." Davis said. "Ken and I will try to find this key. Tai, Matt you look for this place where the spirit world and the mortal world are connected and keep it safe if Xelvin's men try to take it."
"But that could be anywhere in the world." Tai said.
"Well if there's a place where spiritual energy is strong that would be good place." Halo said.
"I got it." Ken said. "Adashino Nembutsuji in Kyoto. It's one of the top ten spiritual places in the whole world."
"That will work." Halo said.
"Alright head out you two and protect that place." Davis said.
"You got it." Matt said.
"I shall go with you to make sure it's the right spot." Halo said.
"Okay then and if we're right about this, it's possible it could be the final battle." Davis said. The three got in Matt's car and drove off to Kyoto leaving Ken and Davis.
"A nice tactic sending Matt and Tai together." Ken said.
"Well you know how well of a team they make." Davis said. "Meanwhile we're heading to the museum."
"The museum?" Ken said.
"Oh right it was just me and Matt there." Davis said. "Well there was this tablet that transformed into a white key and it looked just like a horse's head."
"That has to be it, but wasn't it reported it was stolen and still missing?" Ken said.
"Maybe, but maybe our stars can pick up a trace or something." Davis said. "We better get going, times a wasting." They took off, but didn't notice that Jacob was watching them. While they were running Davis nearly bumped into Kari as she came out from around the corner. "Whoa Kari sorry."
"It's alright Davis." Kari said as the other girls came out.
"Hey guys where are you off too in a hurry?" Mimi said.
"The museum, there's something we have to do." Ken said.
"Like what?" Yolei said.
"Oh…stuff." Davis said.
"You mean finding the white Pegasus key?" Kari said and they were surprise to hear her say that.
"No bother keeping it a secret now." Sora said as they each held up their rose.
"Wait you girls are the Rose Warriors?" Ken said.
"Yeah that's us." Yolei said and Davis' jaw dropped.
"In Hine's sight we should have seen that." Ken said.
"So where are Matt and Tai?" Mimi said.
"On their way to Kyoto, come one we'll explain on the way." Davis said as they started running
…
Xelvin's Castle
"At long last the Spirit Pegasus will be mine." Xelvin said as he was talking with Slick and Granx.
"Master if I may ask what good will it be without the black key?" Slick said.
"I know that you fool, but I have a plan." Xelvin said.
"What about Black Star? Shouldn't he be here?" Slick said.
"Where is he?" Granx said.
"Black Star is right where I want him." Xelvin said.
"Okay, but we also need a place where both worlds are connected." Granx said. "Where are we going to find a place like that?"
"I already found a place. We're heading to a place in the mortal world. A temple in a city called Kyoto." Xelvin said.
…
Earth
Davis and Ken told the girls everything and were at the museum trying to find a trace of the white key, but there wasn't a thing anywhere.
"Nothing." Ken said as he held his star up to a case that the key use to be in. "Looks like as far as finding the key goes we struck out."
"Now what, how are we suppose to find the key?" Yolei said. Then Davis' D-Terminal started to go off.
"Hey it's from the same guy who sent us the first message." Davis said.
"Go to the school roof and hurry before time runs out." A voice from the message said.
"The school?" Kari said.
"Well might as well check it out." Sora said. They went to the roof of the school, but there didn't seem to be anything there.
"Okay someone is toying with us." Yolei said.
"Wait look." Ken said as they saw some sort of scanner code on the door. "Davis see if you can scan it." Davis pointed his D-Terminal at it and scanned it.
"Go to the slide in the park playground it." The voice said.
"That's rather strange." Davis said.
"If it means we can find the key we might as well see." Kari said. They ran to the park and saw the same scanner code.
"Okay someone is messing with us." Ken said.
…
Kyoto
Tai, Matt, and Halo made it to the temple in Kyoto and had a look around.
"Halo is this the right place?" Tai said.
"Yes I can feel so much spirit energy in this place." Halo said. "So much that I can change into my true form." He glowed and became human with angel wings, yellow skin, white hair, and his legs in white stockings.
"Wow so this is your true form." Matt said.
"Yes with all the spirit energy I have been able to transform." Halo said. "However I cannot interfere without conversing with the other three guardians. I'm afraid when it comes to battle you are on your own and it looks like it's now." They turned around and saw Xelvin's troops marching towards the temple.
"Looks like this is it then." Tai said.
"Well let's get this show on the road." Matt said.
"Blue Star!"
"Gold Star!"
…
Odaiba
Davis, Ken, and the girls continued to run around the city following the instructions that were left around. The last one told them to go to the seventh floor of a garage building.
"How many more of these are there?" Kari said as they were all panting except for Ken.
"It's like that old saying. No pain no gain." Ken said. "Come on that building isn't too far from here." They started running. "Move it or lose it slow pokes." Ken said as he passed them all.
"Show off." Davis said. Ken made it first and saw someone place a scanner code, but he started running.
"Hey you stop." Ken said as he chased after him, but when the mystery man closed a door behind him and Ken opened it he was gone. He went back inside where the others were.
"Ken what's wrong?" Yolei said.
"I didn't see who it was, but I saw the one leaving all of these things." Ken said. "This last one says to go back to the school.
"You mean we have to go right back where we started?" Mimi complained. They went back to the roof of the school and there was a chest.
"That has to be it." Davis said.
"Wait look at the roof." Sora said as they saw it was in the middle of rows of squares. "What could this be?"
"Wait a minute." Ken said as he took out his D-Terminal and brought up a map of the city with the places they went to. Then overlay it on the squares. "I get it now. The places we've been to are the squares we need to step on to get to the key."
"Alright I'll do it." Davis said.
"Are you sure?" Kari said.
"Don't worry I got this. Ken guide me." Davis said as he was ready.
"Alright the first one is the 3rd square on the right." Ken said and Davis stepped on it. "Next is up one and over two to the left." Davis stepped on it and so far nothing happen. "You'll have to jump. Up three right one." Davis jumped and made it.
"We're good so far." Yolei said.
"Jump two to the left and up two." Ken said and Davis jumped.
"Wow I think Davis would be great at hop scotch." Mimi said.
"Right three up two." Ken said and Davis jumped. "Up two more." Ken said as Davis jumped. "One step forward and you're there." Davis stepped forward and was right in front of the chest.
"Okay either we made it or we set up total destruction." Yolei said. Davis opened the chest and a bright light came out. "I knew it, destruction." The light dimmer down and the key was in Davis' hands.
"This is it." Davis said.
"Come on my brother and Matt are waiting." Kari said. Back in Kyoto Tai and Matt were doing their best to fight off the troops.
"These guys are everywhere. I don't know how much I can keep up." Matt said.
"Let's move this faster and go spirit beast." Tai said.
"Good idea." Matt said.
"Spirit Dragon Unleash!"
"Spirit Griffon Unleash!"
They both transformed and started flying Matt charged up lightning in his mouth and blasted them. When Tai flew over some were caught in the tailwind. While it was happening Slick and Granx were watching.
"And so it begins." Slick said.
"Soon we'll destroy everything." Granx said.
"Not everything. They turned and saw Xelvin.
"Master what are you doing?" Slick said.
"Calm yourself. With the spirit energy in this area I can last longer in this world." Xelvin said. "Soon both worlds will be mine." Black Star had just arrived himself.
"All the pieces are in place mighty commander." Black Star said. Davis and the others were running as fast as they could.
'Finding the key took longer than I thought. I hope we're not too late.' Davis thought.
