Amethyst: Hi people. I didn't disappear off the face of the planet or give up Shugo Chara. I just have severe writer's block and everyone I asked for suggestions had creativity levels tending towards zero. I hope I did a good job nevertheless for the last. The next chapter is being upload like RIGHT now! Thanks for reading this. Love you guys. Now I'm finished talking. Get onto to reading. It was a very long wait which I hope will well worth it. This is this story's third year. Sorry for any mistakes.

Kairi's P.O.V

My computer shut down completely and it was not cooperating with me. Even the laptop I had given Nadeshiko blanked out.

"What happened? Kairi!" Nadeshiko screamed.

"I don't know! This shouldn't happen," I said, freaking out as I checked everything.

"Hurry!"

"I'm on it," I muttered and then began pressing various keyboard combinations. "Oh no."

"Oh no what?"

"Who could have done this? I don't have time to get rid of a virus!" I shouted and slammed my fist on the table.

"Hi. Is everything going smoothly?"

I looked back to see Tadase enter the room and something clicked for a moment. Tadase knew about computers and he was good enough to outsmart me when I had stepped into that harbour's loading area in Turkey.

"Tadase, I lost Amu and Rima. Please help me fix this computer," I begged.

Tadase rushed over the computer and took over from me. His hands moved expertly with my equipment. Tadase was like the computer genius brother I never had.

"It's similar to something I've done before. I can fix it with a little time. How bad is their situation?"

"We don't know. It shut off before-"

Nadeshiko cut me off with a gasp and then she shook Tadase's shoulder with a worried look in her eyes. "Hurry! Something's wrong. They're screaming."

I narrowed my gaze at her in confusion. "How would you know that?"

Nadeshiko pointed to her ear-piece. "I can hear them."

"Your ear-piece is still working?" Both Tadase and I yelled.

Nadeshiko handed it to me and I turned the volume all the way up. It was just loud enough for all three of us to hear it. Amu and Rima were definitely screaming but there was a louder sound blocking out most of what they were saying.

"That was a splash," I said in realisation. "The water…"

"Oh no," Nadeshiko muttered in horror.

"I'm done! It's coming back on now," Tadase said.

The screen came back on just in time for us to see the fuzzy image of Amu and Rima being thrown along with the rapid current. The water roared around them making their cries and speech quite muffled.

"Can't you close off the pipes?" Nadeshiko asked.

"No, the pipes are narrow so they would easily drown before we could find out how to redirect it from here," I answered.

"I could try to disable the security on the floor," Tadase said in a panic.

"We don't have time!" I shouted. "We only have a few seconds until they-"

"-Let him try!" Nadeshiko protested.

"But it's-"

"Kairi!"

"Fine!"

Tadase's hands were already on the keyboard, searching for a way into Easter's security system to save our friends' lives. I knew that Tadase was just as skilled as I was but it would be impossible for anyone to get rid of Easter's layers of security faster than a strong current could drag Amu and Rima to their doom.

"Twenty seconds," I muttered.

"I got in but I can't get everything shut down in time! It's all sequential!"

"Sequential?" Nadeshiko asked.

"Yes. It will shut down everything in a specific order. I can't break it. I don't know what to do."

It was all over now.

"No!" She shouted.

Nothing could be done.

"Help! Kairi!"

"Amu! Rima! We'll save you!" Nadeshiko shouted as she watched Rima and Amu tumble helplessly down the current. Then she turned to me with tears in her eyes. "Kairi… please."

Impossible.

"Get up. Let me try something," I said, signalling Tadase to get up from the chair.

"Less than ten seconds left. Did you figure something out?"

"No. Their survival is highly improbable," I answered as I begun to hack faster than I had ever done before, "but I will try."

"Access granted. Now removing laser beams."

"You did it! All that's left is the floor!" Tadase exclaimed.

"Time?" I questioned as I kept my eyes trained on the screen and 'access denied' appeared everywhere.

"Five seconds," Nadeshiko squeaked.

"Access denied."

"Access denied."

"Damn! Work already!

"They're falling!" Tadase said.

"No!"

I looked up briefly to see Rima and Amu shoot out of the water pipe down into the dark vault below.

"Access…"

The screen completely blanked out.

"… denied."

Both Nadeshiko and Tadase had looks of horror on their faces and they seemed completely stunned. Neither of them took their eyes away from the blank screen and they hardly moved. It was a long time after that I found my voice again.

"Not a word of this gets to Nagihiko," I breathed.

"A-Agreed," Tadase stammered and Nadeshiko nodded breathlessly.

Nagihiko P.O.V

Rima couldn't be gone. She was still here. She had to be.

I had slipped into the room silently. It wasn't intentional but merely a habit. No one noticed me when I entered due to the lack of light away from the computer screen and the state of panic in the room. I heard Nadeshiko pleading with Kairi and I heard the final 'Access denied'.

"Not a word of this gets to Nagihiko."

I had heard it all.

I left the room as fast as I could and began to run for the vault. I had to find her.

"Nagihiko!"

I groaned and held my head as I staggered to a stop.

"What is it, Tai?" I grumbled.

"Calm down. You don't have any equipment and you probably don't know what you're running into. Allow me to take over."

"No!" I protested and continued forward. "I can do this by myself."

"Please Nagihiko. I'm worried about her too but you have to let me try. I know that this will sound strange but I can feel her. I can sense where Rima is."

"That's impossible."

"I have a feeling that I might have something to do with how she knew where the last two gems were. I feel connected to her. If you give me a chance, we can find her faster."

"Fine."

Rima's P.O.V

"Where am I? My head hurts," I muttered.

I was in another room which was thankfully not submerged in water. I tried to rub my aching head but my wrists were chained to the table I was lying on. The chains were long enough for me to sit up on the table and look around. The room was anything special but the one thing that freaked me out was the fact that all of the EMBRYO gems were around me. Confusion fell over me. I couldn't be inside the vault. Amu and I had failed. Speaking of Amu, she wasn't anywhere in sight. She was gone. Someone had separated us and that could only mean one thing.

"I see that you're awake."

I turned my head to see him walking towards me. The director offered me a cold smile and I tried to look fierce and less fearful than I actually was.

"What do you want from me?"

"You, of course," He answered and stopped right in front of my table. "Such a young, powerful child."

"Let me go or I'll show you just how powerful I am," I said.

"You have no idea, don't you?" He said with a sick smile. "As you are now, you can't hurt me."

"What are you getting at?"

"You're the last piece of the puzzle," He said, staring directly at me. I felt a chill run down my spine and I tried to swallow the unsettling feeling I felt. "You're 'M'."

"I'm not. 'M' is a gem. I'm human, idiot," I answered.

"I don't believe that. I've been doing my research and it seems as though you descended from the original owner of all of the jewels. I had my scientist here do more research on you and the jewels and their findings were quite interesting."

"That's stupid," I countered.

"Is it? Did you ever wonder why your parents died?"

"Stop!"

The director laughed at me as I shuddered. "I don't want to hear it."

"Don't worry. It'll be over as soon as I get everything set up for the show."

I felt Rima's presence even more strongly now. It was just up ahead, beyond the huge doors. Nagihiko's conscience tugged at my mind and body even more now. He could feel her through me and he needed to see her. As I approached the door something weird happened, my whole body ached and it burned. I fell to my knees and clutched my arms but the burning wouldn't stop. The energy inside of me was acting up and as much as I didn't want to admit it burning me up... literally.

"Tai! What's going on? We have to save her!"

"Get out, Nagihiko. Get out now," I muttered, panting from the excess effort of containing my own energy.

"What are you-"

"Separate from me! Now!" I yelled.

My vision went blurry and I felt sick to my stomach as the pain got a little worse. The room around me spun in loopy circles and I fell in some direction weightlessly. Before I could hit the ground, I felt hands at my back.

"What is wrong with you?" Nagihiko asked, slightly worried with a good bit irritation in his voice.

"My powers are going berserk," I muttered as I clutched my arms and the black marks on them were pulsing red. "Save her but be careful."

"Sure but what about you? I can't leave you."

"You don't understand!" I shouted, mostly because of the pain. "If my powers are freaking out, something is going on with the jewels; perhaps the emerald in particular. He has them all, Nagihiko. Rima is one of them and if you want to stop this, you're going to have to make sure that he doesn't combine their power."

"But some of the emerald's essence in Kairi, Utau, Ikuto and you," Nagihiko said, "He doesn't have everything he needs."

"That's the thing," I answered, "My powers are fighting against me. I won't be able to contain them for very long. All I am is energy in your form, Nagihiko. I've seen this all before in a dream."

"What?"

"I'll take the small bits of energy which your friends possess with me when I return the emerald and in a sense, I will die."

"Tai! Tai! No! You can't die! Please, don't die Tai! Please…"

"Miss. Nadeshiko…" I muttered, forcing a smile just for her. I looked up at the others. "I see you found Amu. Are you okay?"

"I'm f-fine," Amu stuttered, still a little shaken by her swim. "What about you?"

Everyone had found us and Nadeshiko fell to my side with a pleading look on her face. A few tears were in her eyes and I tried to look strong. It really hurt to see her like this. I guess I thought of Nadeshiko as my sister too. I felt Nagihiko's emotions and I knew both of them; I trusted them. I'd miss them both.

"It's not true," Nadeshiko said, almost begging me to agree with her.

"I'm sorry. I was never meant to stay," I said and she pulled me into a hug; my first and my last.

"As soon as those gems start to work, you'll be gone?" Ikuto asked and I nodded.

All of the Easter shared a look on their faces and I swallowed hard. It felt nice that they cared but they had a bigger job to do.

"Save Rima. She needs you Nagihiko," I insisted and pushed him away from me with my leg. "I knew this would happen to me. Go now."

I couldn't hold back the cry of pain that came next. My body was beginning to glow emerald green. I was reverting to my original form. It wouldn't be very long now.

"You'd better be okay when I get back," Nagihiko muttered in an attempt to be strong too.

I watched them all continue on through the door without me. I smiled to myself as my vision began to blur. I had to be happy for them. It was the last thing I could do for my friends.

Nagihiko's P.O.V

I honestly did not want to leave Tai but as soon as he had mentioned Rima's name, the maddening desire to find Rima filled me again. If we all managed to end this somehow, I knew I'd regret leaving him.

I didn't know what was behind those doors (except Rima). Actually, I had never known that there was a room this deep within Easter. I took a cautious, shaky breath and pushed the doors open with my friends ready behind me.

"What the-" I muttered.

At the very centre of the room lay Rima and the EMBRYO gems were arranged around in their correct order. All of them glowed faintly except the emerald. The emerald held a dull, green shine and it did nothing more while Tai was glowing like a Christmas tree outside. When he- I mean- if he returned, the glow would probably be restored.

I ran over to Rima's side although I could hear Ikuto cautioning me from afar. Her eyes were shut but I could still her chest moving with each breath she took.

"Rima-" I breathed and reached out to touch her.

The ground began to shake and I fell over; further away from Rima.

"What's happening?" Kukai yelled.

"Earthquake?"

"It can't be!" Kairi yelled.

"Then what is it?" Amu screamed.

"Look!" Tadase shouted.

All of the gems were glowing and Rima's body was rising off the table in a really weird, sci-fi movie kind of way. I tried calling out to her but she never opened her eyes. She just kept rising until she was hovering about three feet in the air.

"What do we do?"

"I don't know!"

"Rima!" I shouted.

Rima's eyes shot open at that moment but they were red and a very un-Rimalike smirk graced her face. She looked down at all of us from her position hovering in the air as we were all little toys.

"Hehehe…" Rima giggled. "Look who came to play with me."

"What?"

"She's in my control now," The director said as he stepped out of the shadows at the far end of the room. "The power of the EMBRYO is mine and you traitors and your four, pathetic Guardian friends will be my first test subjects."

"What did you do to her? Leave her alone!" I shouted.

He laughed. "I did nothing. I simply assembled all the gems so she's now under my control. If I left her alone, she'd be uncontrollable and probably destroy us all. I'm doing you a favour by letting you survive for a few extra minutes. Attack!"

We didn't have to time to do much else when Rima suddenly summoned this mini clown beside her. The clown kind of looked a doll with red streaked blonde hair, a black clown costume and held spiked bowling pins.

"Would that be one of the guardian characters?" Amu asked.

"Yeah but somehow, I don't think that this is supposed to happen," Kairi answered.

Rima smiled and with a wave of her hand, she launched her spiked bowling pins. I dived to my right just in time to avoid being impaled with her deadly weapons. I quickly glanced over my shoulder and everyone else seemed alright. I turned my attention back towards Rima. I didn't want to hurt her and if I got any closer, she'd probably skewer me with one of those nasty things.

"Rima! Stop this!" I yelled.

"Who's Rima?" She asked emptily as she summoned ten more bowling pins and launched three in my direction. I dodged but I wasn't fast enough this time. I got scraped by one on my leg. It was bleeding but it wasn't too serious. I eyed her weapons in the air above me. If I got hit again, my injuries could be so much worse.

"Don't listen to him," said the mini clown beside her. "Finish them all quickly."

Rima nodded and the bowling pins began to spin so fast that we couldn't see the individual spikes on them anymore.

"This is bad," Kukai said.

"You don't say," Utau grumbled.

I knew I couldn't dodge something like that and I knew that Rima wasn't going to snap out of her evil mode any time soon. There was nothing that could be done. She was super-powered and we only had our fighting skills. Three of the spiked bowling pins rushed at me from different directions. I tried to leap away but they were going catch up with me. I needed help. I needed something more.

"I hear you loud and clear Nagihiko. I can lend you a hand."

"Tai?"

"Nope. My name is Rizumu. Let's charanari Nagihiko!"

A simple "What?" was all I could manage before a bright light surrounded me and a three inch tall person similar to the one controlling Rima floated in front of me except he looked a lot like me with a sports fanatic style.

The next thing I knew I was in a similar costume and I felt a lot stronger. It was very weird but good in a way. I looked over at my friends and they seemed to be in a similar position as if we were all invited to some kind of deadly, costume party themed fight.

Rima, her mini clown friend and the director didn't seem too pleased with our transformation so that had to be a good thing.

"It's cool and all that we managed to pull this off but stop the staring party dude. You've gotta stop that crazy girl. She's got the power of the gems to back her up so you have to attack and be careful."

I jumped away from another attempted attack on me. "One problem: I don't want to hurt Rima and I don't know exactly how this guardian character, charanari stuff works."

"Just say the first thing that comes to mind and don't worry about hurting your friend. The attack will affect her attachment to her X character and weaken her. No permanent damage."

"Okay then. Blaze Shoot!" I said and a blue fireball appeared on my fingertip. Before I could freak out my body turned by itself and tossed it at Rima.

"Y'know what? I may be wrong about that no permanent damage thing. I've never really done this before so if this gets bad, I'm so sorry man."

"What?" I almost shrieked as I watched Rima take the impact of my attack.

Luckily for Rizumu, he was inside me at the moment so he could not be strangled and Rima seemed to be okay.

My attack didn't seem to do much but the combined force of everyone's attacks did seem to be getting on her nerves. She crossed her arms over her face and her bowling pins of doom retreated into an X formation in front of her to protect her.

"S-Stop it! I can't lose!" Rima shouted as her arms slowly came down from her face. Her frustration was visible all over her face and she released another burst of power which knocked us all over and sent us flying.

"Tightrope dancer!"

Before I could get up a rope tightly wrapped itself around my body and I couldn't move. Everyone else was tied up as well.

"Good job. You're perfect," The director said to her and Rima smiled. "Now what shall we do with you all?"

It wasn't long afterwards that the director's phone began to ring. He answered it very irritably and left us in Rima's ropes while he talked.

"What? There're explosives set to explode inside the building?"

Not good. Kairi's explosives which Tadase and I had set up around the building were probably the ones that he was talking about. Rima's power burst had probably set off the timers. I guessed we were lucky that she hadn't blown them all up. I suddenly had this horrible feeling that the director would have no trouble figuring out exactly what he was going to do with us.

"Idiots. I guessed it can't be helped," He muttered and then put the phone back into his pocket. "Leave them here!"

Rima and the director made their exit and we were stuck in that room tied up.

"Kairi, how long do we have until those things detonate?" I asked.

"Considering that it was tremendous shock that activated them, the timers should have gone off and they were set for ten minutes so I'd say around eight minutes or so is a safe bet," He said.

"Okay so any ideas on how we are getting out of here?" Amu asked.

"I have one," Ikuto said and we looked over in his direction to see that he was already free.

"How did you-"

"Apparently, the claws on the costume aren't for decoration," He responded.

Ikuto's weird costume got points for getting us out of there. He slashed at the ropes tying each one of us and we were soon freed.

"Come on! We have to get out of here," Ikuto said and we all ran towards the door.

"It's locked," Kukai said. "Anyone has any door opening powers?"

"Move out of the way Souma," Utau said. "I've had as much as I can take of this day. Nightmare Lorelei!"

The door didn't stand a chance. Utau's attack blasted the door off its hinges and sent it flying out into the corridor in pieces. We made our way out and as I feared, Tai was nowhere to be found. I swallowed hard and tried not to think about it as we rushed out of the building.

Rima's P.O.V

I followed the man in front of me because he said I had to. I felt compelled to follow him but all of the energy flowing through me said different. He stepped into an elevator and I walked inside behind him.

"You don't have to listen to him, you know."

I looked over at my guardian character who stared at me. Obviously, it was her who was talking to me in my head.

"He's weak. He claims that he has the right to control you but he really has nothing. Try defying him. You'll see."

We stepped out of the elevator and after a few steps, I stopped walking. The man didn't get very far when he realized that I was longer following.

"Come along! There's a helicopter waiting outside!"

"I don't want to go with you," I said.

"Are you crazy? You're going to be blown up if you stay here!"

"I don't intend to stay here. I'm going to go wherever I please," I said and I began to walk away.

"You can't possibly think that I'd let you go just like that," He said cynically.

I stopped and turned around. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that I have something that you should be wary of," He said.

"Like what?"

"While you were recovering from your swim, I had something placed inside of you. You might have supernatural powers but I have some tricks of my own. You might find it extremely hard to breathe if you don't listen to what I say."

I glared at the man and my guardian character floated to my shoulder.

"Do what he says for now. We can't afford to perish here."

I nodded and I followed the man. I'd die if I didn't and my guardian character seemed to like giving me orders too. I didn't like it but I had no other choice. I knew nothing. I didn't even know what the man meant about my swim. I felt a little cold and maybe my skin felt a little wet but I didn't remember anything about swimming.

I tried to think about anything that would come to mind. Unfortunately, the earliest memory I had was attacking those people in that room. Some of them were girls and some of them were boys. One of the boys called me Rima. I remembered him quite clearly. He was tall and he had long, violet hair.

"Nagihiko," I mumbled.

"What?" My guardian character asked.

"Nothing."

I was led out of the building and as the director said there was a helicopter outside. There was someone already sitting inside it. I supposed that they were going to fly us out of here. I looked around my surroundings. We were on the very top of the Easter building. I kept my eyes trained on the director and kept walking towards the helicopter like he wanted me to.

I had only walked half of the distance to the helicopter when a round object passed the side of my head, travelling at high speed. I gasped and I felt the energy within me surge. Spiked bowling pins appeared in my hands and I scowled. They were back.

I spun around on my heel and saw someone on a flying skateboard behind me ready to attack. Another person was on the skateboard with him and jumped down onto the roof. She was blonde like me and didn't look too happy. Another girl flew onto the rooftop, swirling a baton in her hands and a dark haired guy with cat ears jumped onto the roof beside her.

"That's all of them?" I grumbled and summoned more spiked bowling pins.

"No, there's one more."

"One more?" I questioned and looked through the group.

Then, the purple haired boy's face entered my mind again. "Nagihiko," I muttered.

"Nagihiko?" My guardian repeated angrily. "You know his name?"

"We'll stop the director!" Kukai shouted.

"Hurry up Kukai! He's getting away!" Utau said impatiently.

"Heart Rod!" Amu shouted before throwing her weapon.

Ikuto followed up. "Slash Claw!"

I held my head and grimaced as my head began to ache horribly. I jumped high into the air to avoid the attacks and flipped onto my feet again. The pain grew much worse and I screamed, falling to my knees.

"Nagihiko… Nagihiko…" I repeated, trying to piece together the scenes running through my head. He was everywhere. I saw him beside me on a boat, I saw him next to me in a classroom, I saw myself fighting him and I saw him kissing me.

"Stop thinking about him!"

"Rima!"

My eyes snapped open and my cheeks felt wet. He was running towards me.

"Nagihiko," I whispered.

He deactivated his charanari as he came closer and I heard my guardian character's voice chuckling in my head. Time seemed to slow down.

"I'm sorry but it seems that Nagihiko is breaking my connection with you. We can't have that now."

"No!" I screamed as all of my spiked bowling pins redirected themselves to point at Nagihiko and they launched.

"Stop! Please!" I cried.

Nagihiko stopped in his tracks when he realized what was going on. Blue headphones appeared his neck but it was no use. There was nothing he could do fast enough to escape that many of my weapons.

"Tightrope Dancer!"

Ropes shot out from beside me and grabbed the pins. I breathed a sigh of relieve what Nagihiko jumped into the air unscathed. However, my worries didn't end there. I thought that he was going to move away from me but he was moving towards me. He landed on his feet between the bowling pins and me. I stared at him and the pins tugged hard on my tightrope dancer hold.

"Rima," He said gently as he knelt in front of me.

"Run. I can't hold them back for much longer. She wants to kill you," I said.

"It's really you. I'm glad you're safe," He said as he pulled me into a hug.

I wanted to stay there and enjoy the comfort of his embrace but my conscious mind kept me forever mindful of what little time I had or rather, what little he had for that matter.

"Run Nagihiko," I said more urgently and fought against his hold on me. "She might take back control soon."

"Who is 'she'?"

I felt like someone dropped a hammer on my head. My conscious sank further into my subconscious from the blow and she took over.

"Me," My guardian character replied, taking control of my body and I rose into the air. "Missed me?"

The tightropes disappeared from around the bowling pins and two of the rushed towards Nagihiko. He jumped aside but another bowling pin made a direct hit from behind him. Nagihiko cried out and I mentally screamed. He fell to the ground in a heap and the bowling pin which stabbed him disappeared into thin air.

"Nagihiko!" The others cried.

My guardian character smiled. "Good. Now he's gone. You can get rid of the other-"

She stopped mid-sentence. She could feel it. She could fell my rage and bitter sorrow. It was her turn to hold my head.

"S-Stop it! He's just a boy!" My guardian character said as I began slipping back into control.

"Wrong," I replied. "He's Fujisaki Nagihiko and I love him."

My body was glowing now and with one enormous power surge. I managed to rip myself away from the evil guardian character and she was out cold. I felt like stepping on her but she soon vanished and Nagihiko needed me more. I ran over to his side and I immediately noticed the severity of his stab wounds. There was a lot of blood staining the area around his body. His skin had lost its colour and he lay eerily still, stuck in an odd position.

"N-Nagi…" I said tentatively and tears began to well up in my eyes.

He didn't respond. I put a hand on his shoulder. He was losing his warmth and I shook my head. I shook him vigorously.

"Nagi! Nagi!" I screamed.

He still didn't reply and I fell limply onto his lifeless body. What had I done? This was my fault. If I… If I… He didn't deserve this. My tears kept flowing. I sobbed loudly and I held onto his body. Why? I-I never got to tell him. We never…

I closed my eyes and bit my lip hard. If there was one ounce of power still left within me, I wanted it. If there any wrong in the world which needed righting, it was the one in front of me.

I cried. "Please… please… Nagihiko can't die."

"No, he won't."

I opened my eyes. I was no longer on the rooftop. The world around me was one gold, starry expanse and ahead of me I could see Tai. He looked at me with a small, sorrowful smile and he walked towards me slowly. At his sides, two guardian characters appeared. The first one was Nagihiko's and the second one was mine. I grew angry and Tai stopped.

"Rima. This isn't the guardian character you had a little while ago. This is your real guardian character, Kusu Kusu. Look, she's different," Tai said.

The mini clown dressed in red, white and green floated over to me with a smile. I felt crying and strangling the small being at the same time. How could she be happy when something so terrible had happened to Nagihiko?

"Smile Rima-chan."

"I-I can't," I stammered.

"Yes you can. Nagihiko can show you how it's done," She said and she glowed more brightly.

I looked from the glowing guardian character to Nagihiko's who was glowing as well and then to Tai who was glowing green. Both glowing charas merged with Tai and I shielded my eyes from the bright light. When I opened my eyes again, Amu was there. Ikuto was there and so were Utau and Kukai. They were all there standing about two feet away me and Nagihiko's body.

Utau was crying into Kukai's shoulder and Kukai bit his lip, looking away and he tried to comfort her. Amu held onto Ikuto's arm and Ikuto looked drained. I looked down at Nagihiko and he looked no different.

I was about to start crying again when his eyes opened ever so slightly and they flickered shut. I thought I imagined it when he did it again.

"Nagihiko's alive!" I cried.

"For now, he'll be okay Rima-chan but you've got to get him to a hospital fast. Tai doesn't have a lot of energy and Rhythm and I don't have a lot."

"We have to get him to a hospital," I said and I grabbed onto Nagihiko trying to move him. I smiled. His arm was heating back up. Ikuto immediately helped me in lifting him and Nadeshiko, Tadase and Kairi came running in our direction.

"We diffused the bombs!" Tadase shouted.

"Did you stop the director?" Kairi asked.

All three of them stopped when they saw the pool of blood on the ground.

Nadeshiko saw Nagihiko's state and she turned pale. "What happened?"

"We'll explain later. We need to get the hospital now," Amu said.
