It's Davis here again. Last time we were caught in a strange game of chess with Xelvin's minions. As they retreated they led us straight to a portal. This has to a sign that we're getting close to the end of our adventure here.
Xelvin, Slick, and their troops faced Tarerock, Celestol, and Halo on their platform.
"Attacking us Xelvin? Not really your style." Halo said.
"Oh I've been thinking big." Xelvin said.
"What shall we do?" Celestol said. "Here Xelvin has all his power like us."
"Usually the council votes on what we should do, but Dargrif isn't here." Tarerock said.
"True, but I don't think we need to vote for the actions we must take." Halo said.

Earth
Davis and the others stood face to a portal they believed could lead them to the spirit world.
"Are we sure this will take us to the spirit world?" Mimi said.
"It seems kind of risky. We don't know what the spirit world is like." Yolei said.
"Maybe, but if it leads us to Xelvin's Castle we could end this once and for all." Davis said.
"If this does lead us to Xelvin's Castle we should be able to at least get the Pegasus." Ken said.
"Maybe, but this could be dangerous." Sora said.
"Well this is a chance I have to take." Davis said as he flew in through the portal.
"Hey wait for me." Kari said and went after him. Soon they all went through the portal and were in the middle of a desert and saw Xelvin's Castle.
"So this is the spirit world, it doesn't look that different from our world." Matt said.
"That must be Xelvin's castle." Sora said.
"Hey check that out." Tai said. They saw what looked like a battle between Xelvin's troops and ones that were white.
"It looks like a battle." Ken said.
"Probably practice for us." Yolei said.
"I don't think so. Those troops are white and are blasting Xelvin's guys." Matt said.
"Yeah I think those guys in white are on the same side we are." Ken said.
"Guys look at that." Mimi said. They saw Betsy as Black Rose running away from Jacob in his armor.
"Black Rose and Black Star?" Davis said.
"You'll pay for your betrayal Black Rose." Jacob said as he tried to slice her, but she used her staff and blocked him.
"You're the one that betray me Black Star. This is not what I signed up for." Betsy said. He thrust up and kicked her in the gut and had her hit a rock pillar.
"Did I miss something? I thought they were on the same side." Tai said.
"This is how we deal with traitors." Jacob said as he powered up his sword.
"No!" Davis said as he flew in.
"Red Star wait!" Kari said as she reached out for him. Jacob launched his attack and it looked like it hit, but when the smoke cleared Davis blocked him.
"Back off. I can't believe you attack someone when their down. Let alone your teammate." Davis said.
"Red Star!" They all said.
"This is not your fight." Jacob said.
"I'm making it my fight. Leave her alone." Davis said. Jacob flew in, but Davis blocked him. Betsy used this opportunity to get away. Jacob saw she escaped and pulled back.
"I'll deal with you later." Jacob said and flew away.
"Red Star come on." Tai said. "This place is too crazy and we don't get what's going on. Let's get out of here."
"Yeah good idea." Davis said and they made it through the portal and changed back.
"Davis why did you help her?" Yolei said.
"It just seemed wrong if I didn't." Davis said.
"Even so Black Star is right. It's none of our business." Ken said.
"Yeah I guess you're right." Davis said.
"Hey guys look who it is." Kari said and they saw Betsy leaning against the wall as she walked and looked tired.
"It's that Betsy. Hey don't think I forgot you tricked us last time." Tai said.
"Hold on Tai." Matt said holding out his arm in front of him. "She looks like she's about to passout."
"Davis help." Betsy whispered loud enough for them to hear and she fell over dropping her rose, but Davis was able to catch her.
"She looks like she went through a lot." Davis said.
"Guys look it's a black rose." Ken said as he grabbed it. "Is it possible she's…." They took her back to Davis' place and she was resting on the couch.
"If she is who we think she is then it would explain a lot." Matt said. Then she began to wake up and saw her surroundings.
"What's going on?" Betsy said.
"It's okay, you're alright Betsy." Davis said. She then felt her pocket and noticed her rose was gone.
"Looking for this." Ken said holding up the rose.
"You know who we are, don't you and you're one of them." Yolei said. Betsy knew she was busted.
"Yes I'm Black Rose." Betsy said.
"So what gives? Why did Black Star attack you?" Davis said.
"Because I found out the truth." Betsy said. "Black Star was never really loyal to Xelvin. He wanted the Spiritual Pegasus for himself. He wishes to use the Pegasus' power as its evil side to destroy this world." That surprised them.
"Destroy this world!" Mimi said.
"Why would he do that?" Sora said.
"In case you haven't notice he's human." Betsy said. "I don't know the whole story, but I was told that Black Star was betrayed by some he once trusted. I didn't quite understood my powers until I met him. That's why I was his partner, but even I think this is insane. You're the only ones I know who can stop him."
"What do you say guys?" Tai said.
"We need a minute to talk about this." Ken said as the boys stepped outside.
"Do you think she's for real?" Matt said.
"She did once try to destroy us." Tai said.
"Maybe she was trying to help us make us stronger." Davis said. "Why else would she help me and Tai achieve our armor."
"Maybe, but she knows what's going on with our enemy. She might also help us find the black key." Ken said. "Black Star can't use the Pegasus' power without it."
"Then it's agreed then." Davis said and went back in. "Alright Betsy we'll help you."
"You will?" Betsy asked with joy.
"We will?" The girls said with confusion and Davis nodded. They headed outside and were ready to move out.
"Alright here's the deal. I sent up four locations in those things you call D-Terminals." Betsy said. "One in each direction, north, east, south, and west."
"What are these for?" Matt said.
"We're gonna have to split up. Your stars will give away the location of the black key." Betsy said. "Once of course they build up enough energy to cover the city."
"I get it, it's sort of like a G.P.S." Ken said.
"Exactly." Betsy said.
"Alright so let's get moving." Yolei said as they split up in teams of two and went different directions. Betsy went with Davis and Kari and they headed south on the bus.
"Something wrong Davis?" Betsy said. "You don't seem like the quiet type."
"You usually aren't." Kari said.
"It's just, Betsy, I don't want to get back stabbed again." Davis said.
"Look I understand you lack faith in trust in me. I haven't really had many people trust me." Betsy said.
"I'm not sure if we can trust her." Kari whispered.
"Well you can trust us Betsy." Davis said. She was surprised because no one ever said that before.
"Thanks Davis and when this is over, I'll let you take me out to dinner." Betsy said, but Kari didn't like that. They made it to their coordinates by the lake in the park. "Is everyone in place?" Betsy said in a communicator.
"Sora and me are all set." Matt said.
"Same with me and Yolei." Ken said.
"Tai, Mimi what about you?" Betsy said.
"Yeah and we found a puppy." Tai said as Mimi pet a puppy.
"Forget the puppy. Raise your stars." Betsy said.
"Okay." Matt said.
"I hope this works." Ken said.
"Watch little doggie." Mimi said.
"I said forget the puppy." Betsy said as all four of them raised their stars and they began to glow launching waves covering the city. Betsy kept an eye on a holographic map..
"The pup is getting bored." Tai said.
"If you mention that puppy one more time…." Betys said, but spotted something on the map. "Oh my gosh we got a lock on the key."
"Where is it?" Kari said. They looked ahead at Skyline Tower.
"It's in Skyline Tower." Betsy said.
…
The Guardians
Tarerock and Celestol kept blasting and fighting Xelvin's troops at the platform while Halo battled Xelvin. Xelvin used his trident to blast Halo, but Halo kept moving out of the way with incredible speed and blast Xelvin.
"You were a fool to come here Xelvin." Halo said.
"Sasy you." Xelvin said as he launched another blast, but Halo moved out of the way.
"I am more than capable to handle you. You cannot defeat the guardians." Halo said as he charged in and rammed into him.
"You think I'm here to defeat you. Fool that's not why I'm here." Xelvin said as he fired energy blasts. "It's the portal that allows you to travel between worlds I'm after."
"The portal?" Halo said.
"Soon I shall rule both worlds." Xelvin said.
