Ryo looked out of his window mournfully, his chin resting in his hands.
'Sakura' was his only thought. He hoped that Alecie and Rowen could find the star, then maybe he could save her. Suddenly the door burst open as Alecie and Rowen ran inside.
"Ryo, we have it. We have the star!" Rowen said. Ryo stood up as Rowen handed him the glittering diamond.
"And with this we'll be able to free Sakura?" he asked.
"I hope so." Alecie said. "There is only one problem, none of us have magic, and you need magic to operate it."
"Then there was no use in finding it." Ryo said sitting back down. He turned to stare back out the window as a memory flashed through his head.

Broadway smirked as he held out his fist. He opened his hand as Sakura's blue crystal necklace dangled from his fingers.
"I already have her." He said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Wait, Sakura's necklace." He said. Rowen looked at him curiously.
"What?"
"Remember? Broadway took her necklace to show that he had her. And when we fought against them, she wasn't wearing it. Maybe it is back at Skybax City." Ryo suggested.
"If that's true then we can use Sakura's own magic to help her." Rowen said.
"Come on, let's get the others and go find it." Alecie said as they ran out of the room.
A while later Ryo landed at the entrance to the palace at Skybax City. He maneuvered his way through the castle and passageways until he got to where Sakura had laid on the platform.
"If it's anywhere, it should be in here." He said.
The others nodded. "Spread out and look. Give a shout if you find it." Cale said. They all scattered looking around the room. Ryo was the one to find it, hidden in a corner near where Broadway and Sakura had left.
"I found it." He said as he held it up. The blue crystal dangled from the chain, it glowing slightly with magic.
"Do you think that you can use it?" Alecie asked. Ryo placed the necklace around his neck as the crystal glowed brighter.
"I think I can," he said as they left the room.
"Now where are we going?" Kento asked.
"I have no idea. They could be anywhere." Ryo admitted as they walked outside. The group sat down idly, trying to think of what to do now. Alecie leaned her head back against the wall as she saw a strange shape floating in the distance.
"Hey, what is that?" she said aloud. Everyone looked to what she was pointing at as Ryo stood up.
"I think that is Seriyu's castle." He said.
"It floats?" Dais asked. Ryo nodded.
"That was where he kept me when we switched bodies." Ryo said. Alecie looked at him.
"You what?" she asked. Ryo shook his head.
"Long story." He said as Alecie shrugged and gave a sigh.
"How did I know that was going to be the answer?" She muttered.
"Come on, I bet that is where they are." He said as they took of toward the castle.
