Recap
Tympo pressed the button that said 'self destruct'. An alarm sound off.
"I don't know what that noise is but it doesn't sound good," Tympo said pretending to be innocent. The scientists began to panic. Tympo flew back up to us when they weren't looking.
"Mission success," he said.
Chapter 36
*Rima's POV*
The next part of the plan was to get Utau and Kukai out. We didn't really have a good plan for this. Just call Kukai and tell him to make an excuse.
"I'll call him," Tadase offered. He called Kukai and put it on speaker.
"Yo man, what's up," he answered after a few rings.
"Kukai who's on the phone," Utau asked.
"Just one of my brothers," he lied. I knew Utau knew he was lying.
"Anyway, what's up?" he asked.
"We have Rei and the machine was destroyed. Get you and my sister out of there," Ikuto said.
"Alright I'll get the supplies for your stupid project. It will be a minute or two till I can go," Kukai said speaking in code. His message was to give him and Utau a minute or two. They can't just randomly leave.
"We are heading out," Tadase said.
"I gotcha, I'll do it soon," he said pretending to sound annoyed. I didn't realize how good Kukai was at acting. We then hung up.
"We have to get out of here and meet them in the lobby," Amu said.
"What about Aarin?" Rei asked.
"Oops, I forgot about him," Angel said innocently.
"What do you mean you forgot," Jazlynn and Tympo said together. "He's in good with Easter so I thought he could just walk out," Angel said.
"Not with Nami all over him," Tympo said.
"We'll have to leave him. It's too risky with that trashy girl with him," Ikuto said.
"Poor Aarin-desu," Su said.
"He'll be alright. About a whole bottle of mouthwash and a bit of therapy should do the trick," Tympo said.
"You better return before Mori-san knows you're gone," I said.
"I will and I'll tell him everything when we are out of Easter and we're alone. See ya," he said and floated a different way we were going. The second he left something cut through the vent and cut it open. All of us fell out and Nami Mori was right there with a sharp weapon in her hand.
*Utau's POV*
"So that's what happened?" I asked. I was waiting for Kukai to drag me out. I was running out of things to say. The others called him a minute ago so it's almost time for us to go. We still have to go down a couple flights of stairs.
"Hey Utau, I know you're talking but we really need to go. If I don't get what my brothers want then they'll make sure to punish me," Kukai said. Great, now I can leave this terrible office. All I had to do now was act.
"But I-" He grabbed my hand.
"Sorry mister Utau's step-dad, but we need to get going," he said then rushed out dragging me with him.
"Kukai," I whined pretending to be mad at him. We made it down the stairs and into the lobby.
"Where are the others?" he asked. We were supposed to give them a minute then we would leave as we met them in the lobby.
"I don't know. We can't stay long or the director will get suspicious," I said.
"He'll notice Rei gone by then," he said.
"He probably already knows," I said.
"Excuse me everyone! Can I have your attention please? This is Nami Mori. The director says that everyone has the rest of the day off and can go home," we heard the intercom through the whole lobby. It probably went through the whole building. All the adults quickly came rushing out. It only took them five minutes for the place to be empty. They didn't even kick us out first. I guess they really wanted to go home.
"I would like to say bravo to the guardians and friends for coming up with a wonderful plan. Sadly, it didn't work," we heard trough the intercom.
"Poor Utau and Kukai. They have to be the heroes since their friends are simply tied up. We'll be waiting but remember, we're watching." The room then became dead silent.
"What do we do?! What do we do?!" El screamed.
"We keep a cool head and do exactly what they want us to do," Kukai said.
"It will lead to a trap," I said.
"So we just leave our friends, your brother? Tadase who is like a little brother to you, Amu who was the one who helped you even when you were in Easter, Yaya who has done nothing but try to put a smile on your face. She's the one you threw your party. Rei, who may have hurt your career but she still made sure you were fine. Rima and Nagi, they just started to be a couple. You want them to remember good memories right, and being trapped in Easter is not helping," Kukai said giving me a pep talk.
"He's right! We shall save their love!" El yelled going from scared to determined in a second. She is pretty bipolar.
"I guess since you're talking mighty then you have a plan," I said.
"Of course I do," he said. He whispered the plan into my ear.
"I think that may just work," I said.
"My heart unlock!" we both said.
Charanari: Seraphic Charm
Charanari: Sky Jack
Kukai got on his floating snowboard. He then offered me a hand.
"Let's do this," he said. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me on his snowboard. We then zoomed down the halls.
*Nagi's POV* (It's been awhile since it was his turn)
Nami caught all of our charas before we could charanari. We were tied up in the director's office. They didn't tie our hands or feet. They just tied our arms to our bodies.
"Nagi," Rima whispered. Her voice was shaky. She nearly had tears in her eyes. She was scared since she was practically kidnapped again. I scooted closer to her.
"It's alright Rima. Kukai and Utau will come and save us. I grabbed her hand the best I could to try to comfort her.
"I'm scared that we'll be stuck here forever," she whispered.
"I won't let it happen," I said. She gave me a sad smile.
"Just you being here makes me feel better," she said as she rested her head on my shoulder. How could I comfort her when I had no idea where Kukai and Utau are? The best thing to do is just tell her we'll be ok.
"Guys, I think my arm is lose," Amu said.
"I'll help you get free," Ikuto said. He grabbed her rope then she squirmed. She managed to get one arm out. After she got her arm out, the rope fell off her.
"Untie Rima," I said. I knew Rima would feel better if she wasn't restricted. Amu went over to her and helped Rima get loose. They then worked on me and Ikuto and after a minute or two we all were free. I hugged Rima close to me.
"It's alright, you have all of us and we will get out," I whispered in her ear.
"Well done guardians and Ikuto. You got out of the ropes but the door is locked and the vent is out of the question. I blasted the air conditioning up so you'll freeze to death if you are up there too long," Nami voice said through an intercom.
"She's taunting us," Ikuto said.
"It's a game to her," Yaya said. Rima and Rei exchanged glances as if they sent a message to each other.
"You have them don't you," Rima asked.
"Yep, they didn't take mine away because they think they already have them," Rei said as her charas came out of her pocket.
"Why didn't you use them earlier," I asked.
"How could they help with ropes?" Rei asked.
"Just character change! Something has to work," Rima said.
"Alright, Jazlynn show me what you got," Rei said.
"Character change," Jazlynn cheered. There was a red music note clip in her hair. A guitar popped in her hands.
"A guitar isn't really going to help," Rei said.
"You play it," Jazlynn said. Rei didn't look convinced.
"Just do it," Jazlynn said.
"Fine," she said and played a note. Red sound waves came out but it quickly disappeared because Rei stopped playing.
"Keep going," Angel cheered. Rei continued to play. The more she played the bigger the waves were.
"Now aim for the door," Jazlynn said. Rei did and the door flew off it's hinges.
"A bit too strong but I like it," Jazlynn said. Rei's character change disappeared.
"Let's go," I said. I grabbed Rima's hand while we all ran out.
"We have to find Utau and Kukai. They are the only ones, beside Rei, who has charas," Amu said.
"Where could they be? This place is huge," Tadase asked.
"They were supposed to meet us in the lobby. They would be on the first floor unless they are on Kukai's floating snowboard. They could be anywhere," I said.
"They took our walkie talkies and phones," Yaya said.
"Just call them. I'll protect us if anything attacks," Rei said.
"Utau!"
"Kukai!"
"Souma-kun!"
"Utau-chan!" We all called them while we walked around.
"You may have escaped the room but what makes you think we didn't stop your friends," Nami's voice rang over the intercom.
"Utau and Kukai are stronger than you Nami!" Rei yelled.
"Says who?" Nami's voice rang.
"Says us!" we heard behind us. We all turned and saw Kukai as Sky Jack and Utau as Seraphic Charm.
"Thank goodness!" Yaya said as she glomped them.
"Where are your charas?" Utau asked.
"Nami took all of them except mine," Rei said.
"Then charanari," Kukai said.
"I've never actually charanari with a normal chara before," Rei admitted.
"Then give it a shot," Jazlynn said. I smiled at her.
"Alright my heart unlock," Rei said. A bright light covered her. She wore a short, tight, black dress that had red music notes on it. She had red heeled boots and long red gloves. Her hair was loose with a black music note hair clip in it. She had a red guitar hanging like a sash.
"Charanari Harmonious Musician"
"Wow! I never thought you and I would ever charanari like this," we heard Jazlynn's voice say. She was inside Rei so we couldn't see her.
"Let's go," Utau said.
"Where?" Tadase asked.
"If I know Easter then I know where they would want the big final battle at," Utau said.
"I get what you're saying," Ikuto said.
"Where?" Amu asked.
"The top floor where the director would talk to Gozen," Utau explained. We went in the elevator this time since it would take forever to climb up all the stairs. Rima might not be able to breath if we did. I still held her hand. She held my hand pretty tight. I guess she was still a bit scared. I've never really seen Rima scared like this. I've seen her worried but not scared. She squeezed my hand so hard I was losing feeling.
"Rima," I said worried. Everyone looked at her. She seemed to be in a daze. She then let go of me and curled up in a ball.
"She's reliving her kidnapping," Rei said.
"Kidnapping?" everyone except me, Rei, and Rima said shocked. I ignored them and sat down next to her. I wrapped my arms around her and held her close to me. She whimpered so I whispered," it's alright. You have us with you."
"Nagi," she said as she snapped out of her daze.
"I'm here," I said as I held her closer to me. The elevator doors opened.
"You guys go ahead. We'll catch up," I said.
"How will you find us?" Amu asked.
"I took a picture of a map of Easter earlier. Utau said it was on the highest floor so it won't be that hard to find you," I said.
"Our phones were taken away," Amu said.
"I still have mine but it's almost dead," I said.
"Why didn't they take yours?" Kukai asked.
"I have a secret pocket in my shirt," I said. They all gave me and Rima one last look then ran out of the elevator.
"Nagi why didn't we go with them," she asked.
"You're not in the best shape to go and fight," I said. She didn't argue with me. I set her on my lap and rubbed her back. When I was little my mom and Baya used to sing a song to me to cheer me up.
In no time at all, you and I changed into adults
From now on I want to be able to understand so many things
I'll come to love this, that, and everything
For a while now, I've had a wish
so I'm beginning to search for myself
"Nagi," Rima said surprised.
"My mom and Baya used to sing that to me when I was upset. It strangely turned out to be like my life," I said. She smiled at me.
"Thank you," she said then pecked my cheek. I smiled at her.
"Let's go get our charas back," she said. We both got up, I looked at the map that was on my phone, and we looked in every room till we came across a giant room.
"About time you guys got here," Ikuto said. Everyone was tied up with X eggs. Utau and Kukai were no longer in their charanari. There were so many X eggs.
"Rima! Nagi!" we heard a tiny voice. We looked up past our friends to see the charas. They were in small ,glass tubes. Each tube had two charas in them. I saw that Kusukusu called out to us. Temari was with her. A thought then occurred to me. Where was Aarin? I looked at our friends but he wasn't tied up with them. I looked at Nami who was sitting in a chair that looked more like a throne. Aarin was on the ground passed out. What happened to him?
"I thought you love birds would never show up," Nami said.
"Let them go!" Rima yelled.
"Or what? If you haven't noticed, I have you friends and your charas," Nami said. She was right. We had to think up something quick. I needed Rhythm and Rima needed Kusukusu. They were in separate containers. Nami split them up on purpose. I could character change with Temari and then set Rhythm free. How was I going to get them out of there? Then and idea hit me.
"Kusukusu, Bala-Balance," I yelled as I did the pose wrong on purpose. Kusukusu was filled with rage.
"I TOLD YOU TO GET YOUR FOOT UP AND YOUR ARMS ARE ALL WRONG!" Kusukusu yelled as she punched the glass. It broke and she flew over to me. Temari followed her.
"Kusukusu charanari," Rima said. Kusukusu just realized her actions. She then noticed I did it wrong on purpose.
"Nagi, we should charanari too," Temari said.
"But you and I have never-"
"That's more the reason to do it now," Temari said. I looked at all my friends.
"Sorry Amu-chan, Yaya-chan, but Nadeshiko won't be coming back from Europe," I said.
"Why?" Amu asked looking very disappointed.
"Because I've been her the whole time," I said.
"My heart unlock," Rima and I said at the same time.
"Charanari Clown Drop"
"Charanari Yamato Maihime"
Amu: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
Utau and Rima: Really?
Amu: *freaks out* I CAN'T BELIEVE NAGI WAS NADE THIS WHOLE TIME
Nagi: It's still me Amu-chan
Amu: YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT BRAS! (that actually happened in the manga)
Rima: Perv
Nagi: *sweatdrops* I was supposed to be a girl and girls talk about bras
Rima: You just like crossdressing
Nagi: I think you're upset that I was talking bras with another girl
Rima: THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!
Utau: Review before I'm the only sane one left
Rima: There was a bit Kutau in this chapter
Utau: SHUT UP RIMA!
Kukai: What's Kutau?
