"RIBBON ARROW!"

Kim released her bamboo arrow, as it sped towards the leader of the demons, leaving behind a ribbon of magic behind it.

"Bulls-eye!" Kim exclaimed.

"Possible-san, look out!" Yori cried.

Kim looked up and gasped. The leader regenerated! And it didn't look too happy.

"WIND BLADE!"

Blades of wind scratched against the demon leader, destroying it once more.

"Phew." Kim heaved, "Thanks, Yori."

"It is my honor." Yori answered, bowing down.

"And I think it's time I returned to favour." Kim said, frowning. She set her arrow on her bow and cried as she released the arrow, "RELINQUISHING ARROW!"

The arrow sped towards the demon once more, this time, leaving nothing of itself behind. Not even it's own flesh and blood. No bones either. Not even an eyeball, fang, or tongue.

"Thank you, Possible-san." Yori thanked.

"My pleasure." Kim smiled.

"This would be much more easier if Stoppable-san was well!" Yori cried over the demonic screams of the leader's followers.

"It would!" Kim cried back. Then, she felt something. A connection, with a certain someone.

(The score, "Someone's Watching Over Me" begins)

"Keep fighting, Ron." Kim whispered, closing her eyes, "Keep fighting. You're almost there."

Ron fumbled with the oragami paper. He was almost done the crane.

But since he was so weak and were attached to five or six machines, it wasn't as easy as how Yori had taught Ron and Kim.

Then, he heard Kim's encouraging words in his mind.

"Keep fighting, Ron. Keep fighting. You're almost there."

"I hear you, Kim." Ron whispered in a more hoarse voice, "Please, you and Yori be careful."

"Possible-san!" Yori cried, "You are falling!"

Kim kept her eyes closed and stood on her heels. She began to slowly tip backwards.

Yori tried to run over to Kim and help, but the demons blocked her way.

"Stoppable-san!" Yori cried, close to tears, "Please! Help us! Finish the last paper crane! You are almost there! Possible-san needs your help! We both do!"

Ron froze as he heard Yori's desperate call for help.

"Stoppable-san! Please! Help us! Finish the last paper crane! You are almost there! Possible-san needs your help! We both do!"

Ron's face turned white. He struggled even more to finish the paper crane. He was almost done.

"Please, you two!" Ron cried hoarsly into the night, "Hold on for just a little more longer! I'm almost done! I'll be right there!"

Kim tried to stop herself, but couldn't. Something was holding her back.

But she still felt secure. As if someone was watching over her the whole time.

"Possible-san!" Yori cried, "Stop! Open your eyes, Kim-san! Open your eyes! Let your sight show you what is happening to you!"

Kim struggled to open her eyes. She succeeded, and gasped. Thin, silver strands were attached to her fingers, neck, arms, elbows, shoulders, knees, legs, her body, and her head. She was like a human puppet!

And something was controlling her to fall down onto the sharp rocks behind her.

"RON!" Kim screamed above her lungs, "HELP!"

Ron froze again and turned ghost white as he heard Kim's screaming.

"RON! HELP!"

"No!" Ron cried, "I'm almost done! Please! Give my friends one more chance! Please! Don't let them die at the feet of the enemy!"

Ron folded the last flap, and completed the paper crane. He was finished.

"Possible-san!" Yori cried, "I am coming! Please! Gain control of yourself! The demons might have control of your body, but they cannot, no matter how hard they may try, gain control of your mind and words! Speak up and pray to the Gods out loud! They will respond to you, Possible-san! Please! Just pray!"

Kim was close to tears. She was almost hitting the rocks.

"PLEASE!" Kim prayed as loud as she can, "PLEASE! LET US LIVE! HELP RON FEEL BETTER! I KNOW HE'S DONE THE LAST PAPER CRANE! PLEASE! ACCEPT HIS PRAYER!"

Then, something miraculous happened. The moon shone brighter on the demons, relinquishing them into nothingness as the moonlight hit them.

"GREAT GODS!" Ron prayed out loud, "PLEASE ACCEPT MY 1000 PAPER CRANES AND MY PRAYER! I WISH TO FEEL BETTER SO THAT I CAN HELP MY FRIENDS!"

The Gods heard and accepted. The paper cranes scattered on the floor, along with the golden one in his hand, began to glow, and link with each other into a long chain from Ron's hands to the floor. The bright moon shone on them, and Ron was feeling better. The pulse machine's monitor began to beep at a strong, steady pace.

Ron quickly unattached himself from the machines, got out of bed, and jumped out of the window. He ran towards the Lotus Glade, where the battle was taken place. He ran as fast as his legs can carry him. He summoned the Lotus Blade along the way.

"Kim! Yori!" Ron cried as he neared the glade, "I'm coming!"
