Love Lasts Forever:

Chapter 10: The Harmony of Light

Previously on Love Lasts Forever: Hamtaro takes a stand and tells everyone that they have to fight for their kingdom. At this, everyone agrees, and when the boys are armored and equipped with their weapon, they become The Army of the Rainbow, with Hamtaro as their captain! Now they come face to face with their enemies, and the strongest of all being Glacier's brother, Mace. Even though there seems no hope, a light will pierce through all darkness, and a war will commence between different sides....

The Shadow Leigons were huge. About 100 lied in the front row. " There's ten rows of 100, so......." Hamtaro shivered and frowned. Leading the Shadow Leigons was Glacier, whose shadow was getting darker than ever. Both armies stopped, about 10 feet away from each other, and Hamtaro and Glacier walked toward each other from both sides. They met in the middle, and Hamtaro said, "Are there any rules except win?" Glacier smiled and said, "Only one. The two strongest fighters will start the fight. Send yours and i'll send mine. In fact, since you're the captain, you'll be considered the strongest, and I'll send forth: Mace!" A hamster shoved through the crowd. He was just like Glacier, with his pitch black fur, only his eyes were the deepest green, just like a dark emerald. Glacier said, "Mace, you are my best warrior, and you are my younger brother. Do what you must. You have no weapon except for your soul."

Glacier stepped back to where his army was waiting. Hamtaro knew that once one of them struck the other, the war would begin. Mace circled Hamtaro, like a vulture would circle a carcass in the desert. Then, Hamtaro watched in stupefied horror as the warrior flicked a snakelike tongue at him. Mace began to grow black scaled instead of fur. His fangs became longer and his eyes became snakelike. In just moments, Mace had transformed into a giant cobra, with the usual hook-and-eye sign on his humongous hood. The snake lunged at Hamtaro, and the war began. As Hamtaro tried to dodge the snake's attacks, he could see hundreds of others around him. Mace saw that Hamtaro wasn't paying attention, and attacked!

Just then, an enormous light surrounded Hamtaro. The snake winced with pain, and looked away because of how bright the glowing orb was. Hamtaro looked around for a moment. The orb was glowing and warm. Hamtaro could see images of others flashing in his mind. His mother and father, all his friends, Bijou.... These, he recognized, were all happy memories, and he wasn't suprised at who came after that. Harmony. She was as glorious as ever, still looked the same, only with a ray of sadness covering her bright eyes. "This is madness," she said hurtfully. Hamtaro looked as he heard a hamster land next to him, bleeding and wounded, scrambling to his feet. Hamtaro tried to get to him, but it was too late. A shadow hamster rushed up and grabbed the hamster by the back of his neck and, to Hamtaro's suprise, dropped him again. The shadow hamster squinted and ran back into the crowd. Harmony put her hand on the hurt hamster, and his cut was completely healed. He got up, and ran back into the giant crowd.

Harmony said, "You have to end this Hamtaro. No one else can. Use this to beat Mace. Blow it toward the enemy, and it will give off an eternal light." Then, she disappeared, and the glowing orb surrounding Hamtaro faded. Then, the snake turned toward him and lunged angrily. Hamtaro took the glimmering powder that Harmony had given him and blew it at the cobra. The cobra screamed and hissed in pain. The powder seemed to be a substance that blinded the enemy for a temporary amount of time. Hamtaro knew this was his chance. He took the spear embalmed with rainbow gems and thrust it through the snake.

Next time on Love Lasts Forever: With Mace dead, Hamtaro rushes back to the city, and heads up the SkyLight mountain path, taking Bijou, Spat(Spat came with Hamtaro from the war because of a slash to his arm that needed to be wrapped up, but after he got his cut secured, he came along), Boss, and Daisy with him. Little does the group know, Glacier knew of their plan, and has an idea.....
