A/N: ^_^ I had a strange Dario plot twist, didn't I? Oh well, that's not my main plot twist, ^_~ Oh, and I just found out Notorious Lizzie-chan and Lizzete Faith Reyes were the same people, go figure.Ü Anyways, here's the next chapter, enjoy!

            "Come in, Riddel-chan," Dario kindly said as he winked at the quietly sneering Naccrisa. Slowly, Riddel opened the door, and saw Dario waiting for her, a charming grin on his face. She smiled back and walked in, closing the door with a soft `click`.

            "Hello, Riddel-chan," Nacrissa sneered, then, before Riddel could turn around to see Naccrisa, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck, and fell backwards, unconscious. Dario smirked at the slumped form of Riddel while shouldering his broad sword, and Nacrissa just grinned and clasped her hands together.

            "Wow, that was so cool, Dario-kun!" she exclaimed, "Let's take her back before some of those stupid dragoons get here!!" Dario just nodded and handed the eager Nacrissa Riddel.

            "Have fun, darling,"

            "Serge? Serge?! Wake up! SERGE!!" Kid exclaimed as she roughly shook a heavily sweating Serge. Slowly he calmed down while his eyes flickered open.

            "….Kid? Wha……why are we in Arni? Shouldn't we be at our island?"(Yes, I made Kid and Serge live on some uncharted island that is to easy get to from Oppassa Beach.) Kid just looked at him strangely.

            "Oi, Serge, are you feeling alrigh'? We're vistin' Arni, remember?" He slowly nodded, then, he gave Kid a long calculating stare.

            "Kid, where is everyone?"

            "……..Blimey, you sure you aren't sick? It's bloody 3:00AM, mate! No one's awake at this hour…..well, with the exception of you and me, but I only woke up because you were screaming bloody murder in your sleep, what happened?" Serge just looked out his window, unsure of what to say.

            "…….Kid, remember what I told you, about our adventure and stuff?" he suddenly asked. Kid seemed slightly surprised by the abrupt change of subject, but nodded.

            "Sure, we save two parallel worlds or something, right?" he nodded.

            "Right, well, before it all began…..I had a dream, lot like this one, except, I stabbed you…in Fort Dragonia…..and then…well….you know…." He trailed.

            "Yeah, Lynx possessed you and stabbed me……..you dreamt me being stabbed and you didn't even warn me?!" she demanded. Serge just, once again, nodded.

            "Well, the reason I didn't tell you is because……I thought it was just some nightmare, nothing more, nothing less, but, I have to admit, I did get kinda' nervous once we started doing the same things we did in my dream. Anyways, this dream wasn't about you……it was about……Riddel and El Nido." Now, Kid was worried.

            "What was it about, mate?" she asked, trying to sound as calm as she could.

            "……Riddel, was in some weird room in Viper Mansion. Dario, and some strange lady were just watching her lying there, in some cell, as she starved…."

            "……Dario?! Aren't those two supposed to be bloody married tomorrow?!" she exclaimed. Serge nodded.

            "Yeah…that's why I'm gonna head over to Viper Mansion, because, once I saw this, I also Termina, and Viper mansion, in ruins. Everything was destroyed, Dario was leading these….monsters to destroy everything….and everyone, then…..Porre came, the monsters didn't attack them, and Dario wasn't anywhere, but Porre took over…..it was all over." He looked down and shook his head, as if he was trying to get the images out of his mind, "I…we…..it…we…have to do something! I have to stop it!"

            "……Well then……should we tell the old geezer, Radius? Or Leena? …….Blimey even Poshul? I mean, they were in the bloody adventure as well, right?" he shook his head.

            "Not Leena, not you, not Poshul! Just Radius, I don't want you guys in trouble because of me, besides, someone's gotta' watch over Arni," he mumbled. Kid just glowered at him.

            "What was that, mate?! I'm goin' with you! Even if I have to follow you, I'm going!" she snarled, "Leena and Poshul can stay!" Serge opened his mouth to protest, but was silence by the dagger baring and death glaring, Kid.

            "……Fine,"

            "Now, Serge, I'm not sure why you want to get to Termina! You'll be missing the wedding, you know." Radius said, as Serge and Kid tried to persuade the ex-Deva to go with them.

            "No! You're not listening! There will be no wedding if we don't stop my dream from becoming a reality! Please!" Serge urged. Radius shook his head.

            "Serge, my boy, if Lady Riddel were to go missing, then we would have heard it by now." Kid fiercely shook her head.

            "No! Arni is so bloody far away from the main stream of population! People would have to cross the canyon, hell, the continent to get here from Termina or the Manor!" Kid pointed out, with a slight glare at the unconvinced Radius.

            "Serge, Kid…." He started.

            "PLEASE!" Serge desperately begged, "We need your help,….please, even if nothing is wrong, it's best we go and see, right? Better safe then sorry," he quietly finished as he gave Radius a pleading gaze, "Please." Radius fidgeted under the intense, stare, and sighed.

            "Alright, but when we find atleast on clue that nothing is wrong, we're gone." The two eagerly nodded while Leena watched the three.

            "….What's going on….?" She asked herself as she Serge and Kid run towards his house and Radius to his home as well. Her eyes opened in shock and her mouth made the shape of a perfect "o" as she let out a silent gasp, she saw Serge came out carrying a big black swallow that give her eerie feeling, and Kid came out with two daggers, both of them with dangerously sharp edges, not the dull used daggers she was used to seeing Kid with, and Serge obviously didn't have the plain weak swallow she always saw him practice with. She pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes in determination. She'd be damned if she let her best friends leave Arni without so much as a warning except a quick goodbye, even if Radius was going with them, she was going to find out what was going on.

            "Guys!" she practically yelled, the two jumped in surprise as they heard the barely contained yell, and saw Leena stomping towards them, "What's going on?! Where did you get those weapons?! Where are you going?! Why are you going?! Answer me!!" she fiercely demanded.

            "Leena, we must leave now, I'm sure Serge can explain everything once we get back, right, Serge?" Radius calmly said. Serge hesitantly nodded, and the group left, leaving behind a frantically waving Marge, and a confused and worried Leena.

            "I hate this!! Here we are, stuck on some stupid boat, and we can't go anywhere!!" Minako whined, "I at least thought I'd die with Artemis by my side, but noooooo, I'm gonna starve to death with you guys!" she sourly muttered.

            "…..Artemis?" Van asked with a raised eyebrow.

            "My cat."

            "Oh," Van sighed, as he boredly stared at the endless sea, to him, looking at El Nido was depressing, and looking at the Dead Sea was tempting.

            "…….Whoa, how come we don't have a boat like that?!" everyone looked at Makato weirdly, but she pointed to the vague outline of El Nido. Van sighed and gave it a look, he instantly paled, "…..We're dead." He muttered.

            "Huh? It's a boat……we're saved, not dead!!" Rei happily exclaimed. Van just shook his head.

            "No, we're dead! That's a pirate ship!"

A/N: A pirate ship……I wonder who it could be? Lol, anyways, the pairings will come soon, once they're all together, but they're not, so be patient!! Please!! And please, R&R!!!
