Anyway thank you to all those who have been supporting this story so far and are now reading this after patiently waiting for me to update *Guilty Face*. Hope you enjoy this chapter, and don't worry it won't be as random as the last few have been with all the scene changes -sorry if that confused anybody but it had to be done, for the sake of the story *tiny person in my head saluting*! I don NOT own TMM or any of the characters but OC's and this story are mine :D.


Chapter 28:~Rescues and Recoveries

Ruri, Rina, Pudding and Taruto looked around themselves hopelessly and then up to their friends, they were trapped.

Kisshu looked up and glared at the three alien rebels, "Let them go, now!" he sneered.

"Now why would we do that?" Myou laughed at his feeble attempt of controlling him.

Kish continued to glare as Ichigo hissed while they all stood grasping their weapons tightly preparing to attack the infuriating aliens stood before them, Myou snickered and floated towards the cage to look at their captives.

A moth in the room came a floated down to him landing on his hand,

"I don't no what you're all afraid of, they are only surrounded by some lights, what could possibly be dangerous,"

He smirked as he blew lightly on the moth ushering it to fly to the red lights and as it came into contact with them, the moth was electrocuted and turned into nothing more than a pile of ash.

"Oh yes, that's what your afraid of." he smiled with crazed glee as he floated over to the Jewel floating on the pedestal.

"But then again, why not leave your friends here? Take the Jewel? It's unguarded and easy to take." he was purposely trying to mess with their heads but the group stood strong, they would save their friends over anything.

He studied their faces and saw no sight of doubt of defeat and he sighed hanging his head, "have it your way then." as he snapped his head up once again he summoned his sword and about 200 guards flooded into the room from the three doors surrounding the group immediately.

The white-haired alien smirked as he saw panic flash onto his enemies faces but it only lasted momentarily as they all prepared to fight.

Ichigo and Kisshu stood back to back fighting off the guards, Ichigo managed to take out 5 rebels at a time with her attack while Kisshu fought with his sais and protected her from harm as she prepared to attack, the were the perfect fighting pair.

Lettuce and Pai were stood together combining their attacks to send shoots of water at the guards knocking them down and electrocuting them, while Mint and Akio floated above the crowd shooting guards down with their arrows.

Zakuro and Takumi were fighting together taking the guards down with ease, Naomi and Akari were having the most problems out of the group though as they had to protect Ryou and Keiichiro as well as themselves but they did the best they could.

Unfortunately though this lead to them also being captured as more red lights appeared encircling the four while the girls glared at the guards who they had fought.

Taruto, Pudding and the twins stood in their cage with their weapons out ready even though they were being watched by Katashi and Hiroki, "How could you do this." Ruri hissed directing it mainly at Katashi who flinched at her harsh tone, he hated making her mad.

Next to be captured were Mint and Akio, as the guards threw chains into the air which wrapped around their ankles and brought them plummeting to the ground and they were surrounded by the red lights.

Zakuro was fighting with a guard and she managed to take his weapon from him and as she raised her arm to take another strike at him another guard leapt into the air and knocked her whip from her hand.

She winced in and as she turned to face the guard whom had kicked her she saw Takumi being knocked to the ground after a blow to the back from the handle of an axe, his body was surrounded by the red lights of the cages as he struggled to stand up again.

This made Zakuro furious as she continued to fight with all her anger.

The rebels attacking Pai and Lettuce had started to learn how to dodge the arms of water and judge where they would be moved as Pai and Lettuce followed a pattern using their logical minds.

This meant that the rebels could fly at the pair and cause them to falter their attacks, eventually it became impossible for them to continue with this method as there were far to many rebels flying in their direction.

A guard managed to slam into Lettuce's arm making her stumble backwards and further away from Pai, the other rebels came at her with more force seeing as she was now weaker which distracted Pai as he came to help her.

This was their downfall as they had become vulnerable and while they struggled to get closer to the other they were put in chains and also restricted by the red lights.

Lettuce looked around in horror at the sight before them, how could the rebels own such ways of confining a person, apparently Pai had been thinking the same thing as he studied the red lights intently.

His gaze travelled to the end of the beam where it met the floor and noticed faint red lines that trailed along the ground, he followed their path with his gaze which came to rest on the podium where the Jewel was kept.

He and Lettuce both gasped in realisation looking at each other in shock.

The group forces were becoming weakened as the rebel's carried on strong, they were almost all caught.

Ichigo and Kisshu were stuck in the middle of the fight still fighting by hand, neither had used any of their stronger attacks waiting for the last-minute to do so, as to keep it a surprise which would hopefully be the end of the rebels but from the outcome of the battle so far this theory was seeming impossible.

Ichigo watched as her friends were captured one by one as she continue to fight against the rebels, Myou was lounging in the corner becoming increasingly bored by the battle watching his favourite Pink haired Mew fight for her friends.

~How cute, she actually thinks she can save them~ he thought as he decided to go and play with her.

He floated over the battle towards her and Kisshu carefully avoiding the attacks of the remaining fighters, he came to a stop once he floated above her.

"Hey there kitty!" He cooed down as she groaned while Kisshu could already feel himself become angered.

"What.." She spat as she punched a guard in the face knocking him to the floor, " do you want?"

Myou snickered and flew closer to her, now hovering a couple of feet in front of her he continued, "I just came to see you."

"Well I don't want to see you." she snarled as she turned around to block an attack leaving Myou facing a glaring Kisshu.

"Ikisatashi." He scowled.

"Nakamura." Kisshu spoke back in the same tone.

Myou flew at him with his weapon and Kisshu brought up his said to block the blow, they continued to duel as to other rebel came near the two while they continued to pursue Ichigo.

Ichigo noticed how still Kisshu was and turned tone check in him but as she did a rebel came up behind her a grabbed her by the throat holding her up in the air kicking and thrashing about.

"K-k-ii-s-s-h" she tried to call out while gasping for breath.

The green haired alien heard her soft voice through all the chaos as he always did and swung his sai at Myou slashing him in the arm, as the white-haired alien grabbed his injured limb Kisshu brought his legs up and kicked Myou in the stomach propelling them both backwards.

As he sailed through the air he brought his sais above his head and spun his body around so he could see his target and he stabbed the guard who was strangling Ichigo in the stomach.

The guard dropped the Mew as he fell to the floor and she collapsed into Kisshu's arms, though they were not safe.

They looked up from behind them to see Myou cackling as he trapped them both in the red lights knowing that this would be their weakness; each other.

Everyone but Zakuro had been captured and she was still fighting desperately though the guards were becoming overwhelming and as they finally grabbed hold of her arms they held her still as Hotaru walked up to her.

He circled her body looking her up and down glaring at her with cold eyes, this angered Takumi especially since he could not do anything to help her.

"So you're the Mew who thinks this Jewel belongs to you?" Hotaru questioned as she just glared at him in response making him chuckle.

He looked her in the eye once more and sighed, before turning around and heading back over to the Jewel to stand before it and watch it, from this action Zakuro felt as if he was looking down on her and this had been just enough to send her over the edge.

She mustered all her strength and swung her body round lifting her leg up and kicking the four guards who restricted her in the face, as she did so she grabbed her whip from one of the rebels and came to a stop facing Hotaru once more.

The alien who had been approaching the Jewel had heard the commotion and turned to see a very angry-looking Zakuro stood with her whip ready to fight him.

"The Jewel..the beams are powered by the Jewel." Lettuce whispered into her pendant hoping Zakuro would receive her message, the purple haired Mew's ear twitched slightly at the sound of Lettuce's voice as she listened to her words though she did not let it show in her face.

Hotaru's face twisted into a crazed smile at the purple Mew's attempts to defeat him as he brought out his weapon in a teasing manner showing that he was also ready to fight.

He inched slightly closer to her with his sword before he ran at her preparing to strike her down, she only just managed to dodge his blade as she had been slightly surprised by his change in pace but it would not throw her off.

As the alien continued his running for a few feet she swung her whip at the last moment while she turned and it wrapped around his ankle, he fell to the ground when she pulled on it before it released him and coiled up again.

He turned his head holding himself up of the ground with his hands glaring at Zakuro, his face was now covered in small scratches -some that were bleeding- as he had skidded across the floor, how dare she embarrass him like that, he jumped back up and charged at the girl again who prepared to step out of the way once again.

But as she did so he changed his direction and caught her hip with the end of his blade lightly -to his disappointment- leaving a thin cut on her skin, she hissed in pain and jumped away from him gripping her whip tightly.

She scanned her surrounding looking for some way to get a one up on him as the were both evenly matched and this could continue forever, her gaze landed on her amethyst floating on the podium as she remember Lettuce's and she decided on what she must do.

She slowly walked towards Hotaru with her arms hanging by her sides open for attack and Hotaru grinned triumphantly as he ran at her once again, but this time Zakuro did not move she sent her whip towards him wrapping the purple rope around his body pinning his arms to his side causing him to bow down in front of her.

She picked up her pace and ran towards him jumping on his back as he tried to stand back up and propelled her self across the hall above the guard's heads, she landed just behind the Jewel crouched down with one leg outstretched to the side as she slowly stood up straight once more with a small smirk on her face.

Hotaru spun his head still crouched to the ground although he was no longer tied up watching her in horror as Myou and Kurai desperately flew towards the Jewel in an attempt to stop her but they were too late as she reached out her hand and touched the Jewel.

A bright purple light shot up from the ground stretching up to the ceiling which surrounded Zakuro and the Jewel, the light sent Myou and Kurai tumbling backwards towards Hotaru as they slammed into it uncontrollably after it appeared.

All eyes were on Zakuro as the faint outline of her body could be seen lifting into the air while she felt the power from the Jewel flow into her, a string of amethysts lined her boots, shorts and shirt and as she returned to the ground once again the light faded away.

The podium was gone and left stood in the middle of the room was Zakuro gripping her whip with her head hung, she slowly lifter her head and as she opened her eyes everyone noticed the faint purple glow in them.

The cages disappeared as they had been powered by the Jewel and the rest of Zakuro's friends began to attack the unsuspecting guards, about half of the guards left charged towards Zakuro and she knocked them all out with one swing of her whip which grew in length as it took out the crowd of rebels.

This left about 50 guards to fight and they could see that they were beaten so without order from Hotaru, Myou or Kurai they all teleported away leaving their three leader in the middle of the room surrounded by the Mews and Ikisatashi's and Katashi and Hiroki stood by the wall looking worried.

The three looked up showing slight signs of fear scanning everyone's faces, Hotaru was the first to make a move jumping up to attack Zakuro once again who blocked all of his attacks easily.

Kurai was attempting to fight Taruto and Pudding -who had joined in- while yelling at Katashi and Hiroki to help them, the two guards in question ran towards the group and had to choice of who they would fight as Ruri and Rina flew at them screaming in fury before the girls began attacking them again.

This left Myou looking pretty helpless against the rest of the group; he looked up noticing Takumi swinging his sword around while Mint and Akio pulled their bows tight with arrows, Lettuce and Pai were ready with their weapons while Ryou and Keiichiro stood with planks of wood banging them against their palms trying to look menacing.

Naomi and Akari were playing with their stars throwing them into the air then catching them once more while glaring at Myou, in the middle of the group Kisshu stood swinging his sais around carelessly while stood next to Ichigo who glared down at the alien with her hands on her hips holding her strawberry bell.

Myou tried to smile innocently and went to speak to try to reason with them but as he did Naomi and Akari quickly threw their stars at him purposely missing but landing close to him all the same, he gulped looking Ichigo in the eye.

"Don't even." she hissed with gold in her pink eyes.

As they were about to unleash all hell on Myou they heard a crash coming from the other side and watch Hotaru emerge from a cloud of dust holding a knife to Zakuro's neck, Myou and Kurai smirking thinking that they were winning again but their expression sound faltered.

As Zakuro had elbowed Hotaru in the face stomach and turned around and punched him knocking him out with a black eye and a bloody nose, she turned around to face the group once more while dusting off her hands.

By this point Hiroki and Katashi were stood surrendering to Rina and Ruri as they both held them by their collars ready to punch them once again, but had been interrupted by the crash.

With all sign of hope lost Kurai and Myou teleported away before the could be captured leaving Ichigo screaming curses at the spot were Myou had been.

The group all walked over to Ruri and Rina who both still held Katashi and Hiroki and they all studied the two guards,

"Who are these two guards." Pai questioned his sisters his gaze never leaving the two rebels.

"No one important." the twins hissed with hatred.

"Still should we take them back for questioning?" Akari suggested.

"Yes I think that would be a good idea." Kisshu agreed.

"Okay then, lets get out of here before any more rebels come." Ichigo said as the group teleported out with their captives.
