Hello readers! I present to everyone chapter 26! What's going to happen in this chapter? Let's find out! Let's start this chapter!
Normal POV
The wings once again appeared on Aichi's back.
" Huh? He doesn't look like he's controlled by the Guardian anymore..." Misaki thought
" Misaki-san, wait there." Aichi said
The two charged at each other and sparks flew as the attacks keep hitting each other.
" Aichi!" Misaki said
The attacks continued but Aichi could feel something was wrong and stopped.
" What is it? Why did you stop?" Reversed Takuto ask
" You're planning something... You wouldn't come this far just to fight..." Aichi said
" But I'm surprised, you were able to control the Guardian so fast and even awaken those wings... If you don't mind me saying, why would you help these fools in the first place?" Reversed Takuto ask
" It doesn't matter whether I can control him so fast or realize the secret so fast either! And my friends are not fools!" Aichi said
He charged at Reversed Takuto as they began to fight again. But after that, Aichi's Kirara started to glow weakly. Aichi immediately went over and held him.
" Kirara, what's wrong?" Aichi ask
That was when Aichi's vision started to blur too.
" What's wrong, Aichi Sendou? All worn out already?" Reversed Takuto ask
" Takuto... What..." Aichi said
" If we weaken your source of radiance, you'll turn weak as well and be unable to do anything, so it's true." Reversed Takuto said
The wings started to disappear and Reversed Takuto used his red mist to bound Aichi.
" Capture... Complete." Reversed Takuto said
" Aichi!"
" Brother!"
" I'm going out!" Naoki said
" Wait, Ishida! We don't have the Micsabers with us right now so we're defenseless!" Shingo said
" Darn! But we need to help Aichi!" Naoki said
Misaki immediately flew up since her wings were still there.
" Let him go!" Misaki said
Reversed Takuto fired a black lightning but Misaki dodged it. Reversed Takuto kept firing the black lightning as Misaki can't get close.
" I can't go any closer!" Misaki said
That was when a shadow flew past her and delivered a slash onto Reversed Takuto and he released Aichi by accident.
" Aichi!"
Misaki flew down at a fast speed and caught Aichi before he could hit the ground. They heaved a sigh of relief.
" Darn it! And here I thought we have succeeded!" Reversed Takuto said and disappeared
" Thank you, Blaster Blade." Misaki said
" You don't have to thank me. He's my Vanguard and my duty right now is to help and protect him." Blade said
" I can sense that something's up, since we're inside the barrier again now, we better go back into Card Capital." Misaki said
Blade nodded and they went back into the shop. After settling Aichi down on the chair to rest, they explained the other parts of their story that they never said.
" You tricked us!"
" No, no. We didn't trick anyone. Aichi being the Guardian is the real thing too, and when he joined 00, all these crazy things happened." Naoki said
" Nothing much dangerous but I guess being a Center and Dimensional Nova can place lots of stress on his body." Misaki said
" But, what happened back there? His wings suddenly disappeared..." Kamui said
" Isn't that..." Ren said
They remembered the time when Aichi was struck by the red lightning back at the lake and his wings also had disappeared that time.
" But he wasn't... So why?" Miwa said
" Then, I'll explain everything to you guys." A voice said
They looked around.
" Who's there?" Kourin ask
" Over here." The voice replied
Aichi's Kirara floated down in front of them.
" You're..." Shingo exclaimed
" My name is Kii, I'm the one who gave Aichi the powers of the Guardian." Kii said
" Huh?!"
" Then you know what is happening right now?!" Naoki ask
" Unfortunately, yes. The source of Aichi's radiance is that lake you saw below the shrine, it's losing its radiance ever since Akibastar was taken over by the DES." Kii explained
" Akibastar was taken over by DES?!" Rekka exclaimed
" But how..." Suiko exclaimed
" They suddenly invaded Akibastar and their forces were really strong since there were those Reversed units tagging along with them and 00 had to flee and create a plan before going back to Akibastar again. But that action by 00 caused the people to lose their trust and radiance on 00 and it affected the lake, thus it started to affect Aichi after that." Kimi explained
" Then what will happen to Aichi?" Blade ask
" The lake is still going strong and so is Aichi but I don't know how long it can last because they both are connected to each other. If Akibastar doesn't regain its radiance back soon, Aichi might not be able to stay in this world for long. As we speak, Aichi's body is starting to fall apart little by little, if we don't do something about the lake, I won't be able to guarantee if Aichi will survive either." Kii explained
" But how do we get back the lake's radiance?" Misaki ask
" The wings. Remember, Misaki? Your Sun Wings and Aichi's Galaxy Nova Wings." Kii replied
" You don't mean... Those wings?" Misaki ask
" Yes. We need to awaken more wings and bring back the radiance of the lake, by doing that, the more wings we have, the more Aichi will be able to regain his energy back and temporarily to travel to the lake. But your individual radiances must be at its limits to get your wings." Kii explained
" But what will happen if the lake is gone?" Shingo ask
" Other than Aichi disappearing, the dualiums will also lose all their radiance and there will be no more Kiraras and S-Quadruple can't survive for long either, and 00 will be in grave danger." Kii explained
" We can't let that happen!" Kamui said
" Is there any other way to gain those wings?!" Naoki ask
" You'll know when it's time. Just have fun and do your best shows and gain your ultimate radiance. Relax is the way to do things." Kii replied
" Our best shows..."
" But..."
" I'll do it..." A voice said
They turned behind to see Aichi awake.
" Aichi! Stop it! You can't! Don't even think about it! Come on, let's go and get you some rest." Misaki said
She helped him to another chair and sat down beside him.
" As you can see, Aichi is already too weak, if you don't hurry, he'll disappear." Kii said
" But our best shows..." Naoki said
" But we need to do those jumps and get those instrument to get them, right?" Shingo ask
" That's correct. So it depends, usually Aichi would react to your radiance and your Kiraras will be able to acquire those instruments. The jumps will depend on you too, the wings will appear to your resolve." Kii replied
" Wait a minute, you can measure a jump?" Miwa ask
" The symbol of your hearts' growth... Those jumps... The more jumps you do, it means the amount of your hearts' growth..." Aichi replied
" Our hearts' growth..."
" The Kiraras only help to grow your radiance, they only let your heart shine through, the jumps are different. They show your hearts' growth." Kii explained
Ren looked outside after feeling something was off.
" Uh, guys. Better decide fast because the barrier is starting to go down." Ren said
" Huh?!"
" That barrier is also by Aichi's powers, if you don't help stabilize it, it'll also disappear. So better decide quick." Kii said
Silence...
" Alright. We'll try our best." Naoki said
" Great, so better start soon. The faster, the better." Kii said
" Right."
" So who's going to go up first?" Kourin ask
Silence... All eyes looked over to Ren.
" Looks like it's an unanimous vote." Kii said
" Huh?! Me?!" Ren exclaimed
" Just go out already, you dragged us into it first." Misaki said
" Yeah!"
Ren looked over to Leon for help but Leon ignored him.
" No way..."
In the end, Ren had to go out because if he doesn't, they'll resort to force.
" I'm a bit worried... Ren still doesn't have his Kirara out yet..." Kamui said
" Me too..."
" I don't know what to do but... I'll do my best~" Ren said densely
~ Let's join 'the' Vanguard song start~
" Kikoerudesu yo. Kakushite tatte, boku ni wao mitoshidesu."

" Suru koto ga. Kimi no TURN desu!"
Ren's Kirara suddenly appeared.
" Oh! It's out!" Ren said
Aichi started to glow in red.
" It's started." Kii said
A pair of drumsticks appeared in the air and Ren jumped and caught it.
" Yes!" Naoki said
" Good luck, Ren-sama!" Asaka said
He started to play it as his clothes changed. The ground turned into ice
" Zutto korekara mo, min'na issho ni inakucha. Iyandesu yo."
He jumped up.
" Shiny Splash!" ( I can't think of anymore that suits Ren at all...)
" Hanarebanare nante, tsuman'naidesukara ne... Kitto."
" Atsumatta desu yo, nakama no raibaru mo, Sa~a! (Kotchi e)"
He continued to play it as he jumped the second time.

" STAND UP! "The" VANGUARD FIGHT!"
He jumped again as his wings appeared.
" Number four! Spinning... Downbeat!"
~ Let's join 'the' Vanguard song end~
They really wanted to do the epic anime fall at the last jump but they realized that Aichi also looked much better than before, thanks to Ren.
" You did it, Ren-sama!" Asaka said
" I thought about that last one to late. I couldn't think of a better name." Ren said
Epic anime fall.
" You thought about that jump in the last minute?!"
Blade tapped on Dark's shoulder.
" He's your Vanguard..." Blade said
" Shut it, Blade." Dark said
" How are you feeling?" Misaki ask
" Somehow... I don't really want to talk about it..." Aichi replied
" I-I see..."
" Hey, your turn." Naoki said
" Huh? You're not first?" Kamui ask
" You were supposed to go up after Boss Lady originally." Naoki replied
" F-Fine..."
Kamui noticed Nagisa then and sneaked out before she pounced on him.
" Whew... I wonder if this is worth while... But in order to save Brother, I'll give these guys a burning show!" Kamui said

If anyone asks anything about why Kamui ran one big round around the shop just to sneak in, they just need to know that Nagisa is there.
" Kamui-chan~!"
Kamui started to run around the shop.
" Don't come any closer, Nagisa!" Kamui shouted
" Looks like I really picked the right person to be my little sister's husband..." Gouki cried
" Captain..."
" I'm never gonna be her husband! Got that?!" Kamui shouted
Sweat drop...
" Aichi-kun, how are you feeling?" Koutei ask
" I'm fine... I'm just tired..." Aichi replied
" Weird... He should be starting to feel better after some of the wings appearing... Especially since the Star Wings appeared." Kii said
" Could there be a reason for it?" Yuri ask
" Something must be happening to the lake and since the process of regaining his energy back is quite slow, his condition might be starting deteriorate... Looks like if you guys are not fast enough, you'll be too late to save him..." Kii said
" Then let's go faster! I'm gonna go out there and get those wings!" Naoki said
" Don't be too temperamental out there though." Kii said
Naoki stepped out.
" Don't worry, Aichi. We'll definitely save you!" Naoki said

Naoki went into the shop.
" So how is he?!" Naoki ask
Misaki touched Aichi's forehead and shook her head in answer.
" He still has a rising fever... Aichi..." Misaki said
Aichi opened his eyes after resting for awhile.
" How are you feeling?" Misaki ask
" A little better..." Aichi replied
" Looks like we need more than that..." Kamui said
" What should we do?" Kourin said

~ Reboot song end~
Shingo went back into the shop after that.
" That was really lukewarm, Shingo." Naoki said
" But I wasn't the one who made the song. It's Sendou-kun, it was inside the envelope he gave us." Shingo said
" It's amazing that you're able to make such a lukewarm song in your situation." Kamui said
" Well... I thought about the times we spent together and kind of placed my feelings inside..." Aichi said
" You're really a weird guy." Naoki said
" So who's next?" Kourin ask
" I'll go. It's better that way." Miwa replied
" Okay. Good luck." Misaki said
" Yeah."
He went outside.
" Kai... Wonder what you're doing now... Maybe dozing off... That sounds really Kai-like!" Miwa thought

" Then let me go up! I really want to try it!" Sharlene said
" But will you be able to do it? If you can then I don't mind but I'm afraid your fairytale will get to your head." Naoki said
There was a dark aura around Sharlene as the surrounding people backed away from her.
" You... You're not thinking fairytale at all! What's with those faces?! You better watch my performance well!" Sharlene said
" A-Alright..."

Sharlene came into the shop.
" So don't underestimate me, got it?" Sharlene ask
" Y-Yes!"
Aichi stood up after managing to regain some temporary powers.
" Thank you, everyone. Now I'll be able to open the gate." Aichi said
" Be careful." Misaki said
Aichi nodded. He started to step outside as his clothes changed and his wings appeared.
" His clothes are different..." Naoki said
" His coord evolved after you guys gave him strength. Let's hope that he can make it." Kii said
They nodded.
" I won't lose! I'll protect everyone and our worlds!" Aichi said

" He just recently got a five! How is he going to get a six?!" Kii exclaimed
Aichi jumped his last jump.

The gate opened in the sky as Aichi flew towards it.

" Good luck, Sendou-kun!" Shingo said
" Go, Brother!" Kamui said
" Reach the gate, Aichi-kun!" Ren said
" Go, Aichi!" Misaki and Kourin shouted
Aichi reached for the gate but when his hand was about to touch the gate, a red mist sudedenly bounded him and the gate disappeared.
" What?!"
Reversed Takuto appeared.
" You really think that I left that time? I was waiting for you to come here." He said
" Takuto...!" Aichi said
Blade immediately ran out of the shop.
" Don't come any closer. I won't guarantee him either." Reversed Takuto said
Blade stopped in his tracks and stopped drawing his sword.
" Now, let's go, Aichi Sendou. You'll have a lot in your hands later." Reversed Takuto said
" Aichi!" Kii exclaimed
" No! Give him back!" Naoki said
" Everyone..." Aichi said
Their wings appeared as they flew up but a few Link Joker units blocked their way.
" Get outta our way!" Naoki said
" Let's go." Reversed Takuto said
Reversed Takuto flew off into the distance as Aichi was dragged behind him.
" Everyone!" Aichi shouted
" Aichi!"
And that's the end of this chapter! Let's hope that they can save Aichi! I'll see everyone in the next chapter! Thank you for reading and bye bye!
