Hello readers! I present to everyone chapter 27! What's going to happen in this chapter? Let's find out! Let's start this chapter!
Normal POV
After managing to fend off the Link Joker units with the help of their avatar units, they flew back down to the shop.
" I really want to fly there straight away to get Aichi back right now!" Naoki said
" It's risky. Even if we flew in the air, the units can also fly and then we'll be in trouble if even one of their attacks hit us." Misaki said
" Then what should we do?! Why do we always have to sit back and wait for an answer?!" Naoki said
It was silence as they bit the bottom of their lips, wanting to go there straight away but knowing the risks.
" It might take some time to figure out a plan but I'm surprised. The Sun, Star, Shiny, Lightning, Friendship, Rainy and Feminine Wings all appeared at the same time whenever you perform. And you guys all succeeded in four jumps. Hopefully, we have enough wings. Besides, there are more wings but I can't really remember the names well..." Kii said
" So you're saying if we are able to obtain more wings, we can help Aichi?" Yuri ask
" It's possible." Kii replied
" If you guys are thinking to train with us, then it's impossible because you guys can't possibly master so many songs all at one time." Misaki said
" Then who will be able to get more wings?" Nagisa ask
Silence... That was when a portal opened in front of them and four people stepped out of the portal.
" Takamina! Yuuko!"
" Nagisa! Chieri!"
" Uh... Which Nagisa are you taking about?" Nagisa ask
" Huh?"
They stared at Nagisa, who was from their world, and the Nagisa who was from 00.
" Let's call the Nagisa from 00, Nagi. Is that alright?" Kourin ask
" Yeah!"
" I don't mind! As long as we don't create any confusion!" Nagisa said
" We're here to help. We could hear everything through Kii. He was transmitting the voices to the shrine and we knew everything that happened." Takamina said
" Those wings... It might not be easy but... Maybe we can do it..." Yuuko said
" I also think it was weird at first how they were able to perfect so many jumps in just one performance but maybe it's the resolve. You can try if you want to but..." Kii said
The floor in the shop turned into ice and their shoes all turned into ice skates as the ones who had obtained their wings were at ease while the others kept falling and they all sat down except for Takamina and the others.
" Alright! Now we can start!" Misaki said
" Yeah!"
Meanwhile, at the Tatsunagi Corporation...
Inside a room, there were sounds of chains ringing. Aichi was struggling against the chains that were shackled on his wrists. The chains were nailed to the floor and Aichi was on a bed with his legs also chained to the sides of the bed. A cloth sealed his mouth. Kai entered the room with a tray of food on his hands.
" Aichi. Takuto asked you to eat something." Kai said
He removed the cloth around Aichi's mouth but Aichi kept his mouth shut.
" I won't. I won't help them do their dirty work." Aichi said
" You need to eat something." Kai said
He took a spoonful of the food and tried to give it to Aichi but he turned away and refused it.
" If you're going to starve, you won't have any strength." Kai said
" I don't care what happens to me." Aichi said
Kai looked into Aichi's eyes and knew that he had already made up his mind. He set the tray down and left the room.
" Have it your way." Kai said
He closed the door behind him.
" I won't have enough time left anyway if I stay here..." Aichi thought
Meanwhile...
Takamina and the others were still trying to manage a jump but it failed every time they tried to jump up.
" I think you girls should just stop. Anymore and your body won't be able to take it." Misaki said
" No... We'll definitely get those wings and save Aichi..." Takamina said
" I appreciate your determination but you would not have enough time for that. If we don't get Aichi back to the lake soon, he'll start to disappear. It might even be starting now." Kii said
" We're not giving up..." Yuuko said
" Yeah... In order to save Aichi-san... We need to do the jumps..." Chieri said
" But..."
" Give us some time... Please..." Takamina begged
After some careful thinking...
" Alright. If you girls still can't do it in two hours then we'll go to save Aichi immediately." Kii said
" Yes!"
Aichi was still lying on the bed with his hands and legs still chained as he tried to get rid of them.
" No good..." Aichi said
The door opened all of a sudden and he turned his head to see Kai again.
" What do you want?" Aichi ask
" I just can't leave you alone. I think it's better if you eat something." Kai said
He fished out a key and took Aichi's right arm and unlocked the chain but reattached the chain to the top rail of the bed as he did the same for Aichi's other arm. He sat Aichi up as he loosened the chains on his legs and took the tray of food to give to Aichi again.
" No. I won't." Aichi said
" If you want to save the world, how will you do it without much energy, although I don't even know if you can." Kai said
" Then..." Aichi said but was stopped
Kai had pushed the food into his mouth when he was talking. Aichi had no choice but to swallow it.
" Come on. Eat some more." Kai said
Aichi thought it was weird why Kai was treating him so nicely when Kai's Reversed but hesitantly ate the food until it was all gone.
" Are you thirsty?" Kai ask
Aichi didn't nod at all but Kai just made him drink a glass of water anyway.
" Are you satisfied now? Just leave me alone now." Aichi said
Kai stayed silent and walked towards the door but instead of going out, he locked it.
" What are you doing?" Aichi ask
Kai walked towards Aichi and picked up the cloth that was originally placed on Aichi's mouth and took out a roll of tape.
" Kai-kun-" Aichi said but was stopped
Kai taped the roll of tape around Aichi's mouth as he circled it one round and made sure it was tightly taped around Aichi's mouth. He covered Aichi's eyes with the cloth and Aichi was immediately confused and afraid. He started to desperately struggle to break free.
" You can't get out. You're mine." He could hear Kai say
It was then that he realized what Kai had meant. He could feel Kai's breath near his ear and he immediately flinched.
" Stop it! Stop, Kai-kun!" Aichi thought
But no matter how much he tried to convey the message to Kai, he couldn't.
" Stop moving." Kai said
Aichi kept struggling but the chains were stopping him. That was when he felt Kai's face and lips so close to his neck and he wanted to break free.
" The more you struggle, the more futile and tired you'll get." Kai said
He removed the tape around Aichi's mouth.
" Kai-kun-"
Kai forcefully pressed his lips onto Aichi's lips.
" What... is this...? My body is suddenly..." Aichi thought
" What's wrong, Aichi?" Kai ask
He removed the cloth around Aichi's eyes and all he could see in his eyes were exhaustion.
" What did you do...?" Aichi ask
" With this, you'll be with me and will listen to my every orders from now on forever, got it?" Kai ask
" Kai-kun, what are you...?" Aichi ask
" Since you're going to be with us soon, I'll explain to you. In that food that I gave you... A spell from Link Joker was placed inside it. So after I kissed you, you'll listen to me forever." Kai explained
" No way... How could you..." Aichi said
" And... The effects will come into place soon after that... You'll be beside me and with me forever, the spell will never be broken." Kai said
" You intend to make me hurt everyone, aren't you...? I won't... I..." Aichi said
" You will listen to me and you won't resist me." Kai said
He pressed his lips onto Aichi's again. He broke apart after a moment. (A/N: That's basically the furtherest I can go with these kind of stuff)
" Got it?" Kai ask
" Yes... Kai-kun..." Aichi replied
This time, his eyes were blank.
" I'm going to release you, so be good and stay still." Kai said
" Yes..."
Kai fished out the key again and unlocked the shackles. He reached out to the bottom of the bed and took out a set of clothes.
" Now, change into these clothes and we can go." Kai said
" Yes..."
Aichi took the clothes and went into another door to change.
~ After awhile~
" Aichi? Are you done changing?" Kai ask
" Yes..."
Aichi came out of the room, wearing a different outfit. (Just imagine it however you want...)
" It suits you. Now, let's go. Come closer to me." Kai said
" Yes..."
Aichi went closer to Kai as he snuggled close to him. They went out after that.
Misaki and the others are...
Takamina and the others are still failing on the jumps as time was almost up.
" Only half an hour to go... I think you should just stop." Misaki said
" But...!" Yuuko said
Kii suddenly sensed something.
" This is...!" Kii exclaimed
" What's wrong?" Kamui ask
" I can feel it... Aichi's heart is being controlled by someone." Kii said
" What?!"
" Why? What's going on?" Naoki ask
" I don't know... A spell has been set into his heart... It doesn't look easy to break..." Kii said
" We need to hurry and go! If Aichi's really under a spell, then we need to break it before...!" Misaki said
" At your current level, only Misaki is able to reach him. Her wings have already reached the final evolution. But... Do you know what makes up a Galaxy?" Kii ask
" Star... Moon... Sun... and..." Kamui said
" That's it. Aichi's the Moon, Misaki's the Sun, Kamui's the Star... Each elements are important to make a Galaxy, but Aichi has both the Galaxy and the Moon, without the Moon, you can't save the Galaxy." Kii said
" We have the Sun and Star but not the Moon... Then how...?" Misaki pondered
" How are we going to save Aichi?!" Naoki said
" Well, if all the wings can get into their final evolution form, then it's possible but... We don't have time..." Kii said
" And if the wings change, our coords also change into their final form..." Naoki said
" You'll have to somehow gain them... But there's no time! Before they make him open the gate, we have to free Aichi from the spell!" Kii said
" There's too many people... We can fly there but the others..." Shingo said
" We'll stay here." Gouki said
" Gouki?" Kamui ask
" There's a better chance of getting there without us." Gouki said
" We'll stay here. Besides, we can hide from the enemies anytime in the room." Izaki said
" We can get there quickly our own way, just make sure you're safe until then." Blade said
" Alright. Then the others can come with us." Misaki said
" Right!"
They all went outside and their wings came out.
" Is there anyway to carry them without feeling any weight?" Misaki ask
" Well... Your wings can use feathers but only once for three people." Kii said
" Got it."
They each took out a feather and they all started to fly to the building.
When they arrived at the roof of the building, they got down.
" I don't see anyone here." Naoki said
" If only we know where they are keeping Aichi..." Takamina said
" We don't have time to waste!" Misaki said
" But you don't have to waste time." A voice said
They turned to the ground where three people went up.
" Takuto!" Naoki said
" Kai!" Miwa said
They turned to the person behind Kai.
" Aichi!"
" To think you could make it this far... But you are all too late..." Reversed Takuto said
" Be quiet!" Kourin said
" Aichi! We came to rescue you!" Misaki said
Aichi looked towards them with no sign of recognition in his eyes.
" Rescue...?" Aichi ask
" Listen to us, Aichi! You're just controlled! Don't listen to what they say!" Naoki said
" Controlled...? Me...?" Aichi ask
" We're going to break that spell that's holding your heart captive right now!" Takamina said
" Aichi, don't listen them. Just do what you're supposed to do here." Kai said
" Yes..."
The dark wings appeared on Aichi's back and his clothes changed into a darker coord.
" No! Don't sing!" Yuuko shouted
" Why are you stopping him? Afraid of pain, I see." Kai said
" Kai! You weren't like this before! Come back to us! To your old self!" Miwa said
" It's already too late to turn back time. Aichi." Kai said
" Yes."
~ Return to the sea song start~
" Otogibanashi saigo no PEEJI wa
Kakikaerarete higeki ni kawari
Tatta hitotsu shinjiteta hito no kokoro sae mo miushinau
Ai mo yume mo maru de suna no oshiro mitai na no
Hakanaku kowarete yuku no yo sore wo nozomanakutatte"
They covered their ears again.
" Stop it, Aichi!" Misaki shouted
" Don't you remember us?!" Naoki ask
" Our memories... The Cardfight Club!" Shingo shouted
" Card Capital... And everyone there!" Kamui shouted
" Dakedo ima mo wasurerarenai no
Anata ga itsumo utatta MERODII
Mune ni hibiku tabi itsuka modoreru ki ga suru no ano koro ni
Kitto kitto kaereru no tsunagareta kusari furiharai

Zettai!
Ai dake wa subete wo norikoeru
Unmei kimeru seiza mo kaerareru
Kiete shimae okubyou no USO mo ima mo..."
~ Return to the sea song end~
They all panted and fell to their knees.
" Man... That was painful..." Naoki said
" It's as if all of the feelings hiding in Aichi is released all at once..." Misaki said
" And those feelings are..." Kamui said
" Pain, sadness, anger... There's so many negative feelings..." Ren said
" All of them are all Aichi's feeling... We can't let this go on!" Misaki said
" We need to help him!" Takamina said
" But how...?" Yuuko ask
" Since I'm the only one that can reach him right now, I'll try to reach him." Misaki said
" Misaki. I'll join in too." Kourin said
" Kourin..."
" Me too." Asaka said
" Asaka Narumi... Alright." Misaki said
~ Kizuna song start~
" Itai hodo namida afureru shinkai no yoru wo koe"
" GARASU no suimen te wo nobaseba hikari ni todoita"
" Mieru mono dake ga kikoeru koe dake ga"
" Subete ja nai koto ni kizuite"
" Shinjirareru mono hitotsu fueta ima nara tsuyoku nareru ne"
" Kizutsuite mata kagayaku muteki no KIZUNA kanjiteru"
" Dareka ja nakute kimi ja nakya DAME"
" Setsunai hodo motometeru"
" Kiseki ga kasanareba unmei ni kawaru mitai ni"
" Utagai nante yaburi suteyou"
" Katai KIZUNA wo shinjite"
~ Kizuna song end~
But Aichi looked like he didn't even feel a single thing.
" Impossible!" Asaka said
" Why? Why can't we reach him?" Kourin ask
" Why won't it work?" Misaki ask
" Let's keep going!" Kourin said
" Yeah!"
~ Kizuna song continues~
" Kizutsuite mata kagayaku muteki no KIZUNA kanjiteru"
" Dareka ja nakute kimi ja nakya DAME"
" Setsunai hodo motometeru"
" Kiseki ga kasanareba unmei ni kawaru mitai ni"
" Utagai nante yaburi suteyou"
" Katai KIZUNA wo shinjite"
~ Kizuna song end~
Memories suddenly went into Aichi's mind like raging waves. He clenched his head.
" Is it working?!" Kamui ask
" Aichi! Do you remember us?!" Naoki ask
Aichi's eyes started to turn to normal as he looked at what was in front of him, blurry figures but they were recognizable to him.
" Everyone..." Aichi said
" Aichi!"
" That's enough. Looks like I've no choice." Reversed Takuto said
He snapped his fingers as a red aura engulfed Aichi and he screamed.
" Aichi!"
" That spell was enough to loosen the grip on the Reverse that was held back." Reversed Takuto said
" Aichi-kun!" Ren said
Kai intercepted.
" Wait a minute, Ren. Your opponent is me." Kai said
" Kai... I got it. I'll accept your challenge." Ren said
" Ren-sama!" Asaka said
" I'll be fine. Don't worry about me, Asaka." Ren said
" Yes..."
Ren went over to one side to fight Kai. They looked back to Aichi as Reverse completely took over him.
" Aichi..."
" Now... Who's going to fight me first?" Aichi ask, red marks appearing on his face
" If we beat you then you'll turn back to normal, right?" Naoki ask
" I'll see you try." Aichi said
" I know that you're still in there, Aichi! We need you! Akibastar, everyone here needs you too!" Yuuko said
" I can't go back there..." Aichi said
" Why?! After you go back and restore everything back to normal, everyone will be able to have fun playing Vanguard together again!" Misaki said
" Don't you get it? I won't be able to anymore!" Aichi said
" What?!"
" Now, answer me. Who's going to fight me?" Aichi ask
" I'll go." Takamina said
" Takamina! If you lose, then you'll be Reversed too!" Yuuko said
" But we can't just leave him like this!" Takamina said
" I'll go..." Misaki said
" Misaki..."
" I'll be fine. Aichi, I'm ready. We can start anytime." Misaki said
" Okay."
The red fight table appeared as they prepared their starting Vanguards and decks.
" Stand up, Vanguard!"

The attack hit as Misaki was dealt two more damage. Blade and the others came up after that.
" Sorry we're late. We were stuck with the units." Blade said
" It's fine. But... Boss Lady is going to have a tough time soon." Naoki said
Ren came back after defeating Kai.
" I'm back. How's the situation?" Ren ask

" I stand and draw. You're right about one thing. Even if I go back there, I can still come back here. But... Do you know what that might mean?" Aichi ask
" What do you mean?" Misaki ask
" If I can come back, I would lose everything... That's why I'm going to stay Reversed... To protect my world!" Aichi said
" Huh?!"
" Descend down on your enemies! Show them what it's like to have this power! Feel despair! Break ride! Guardian of the Gate, 'Reverse' Nova!" Aichi declared
The sky flashed in lightning as an unknown giant dragon that nobody has seen before descended down onto the battlefield. It roared as the whole battlefield could feel its raging fury.
Guardian of the Gate, 'Reverse' Nova
Clan: Nova
Power: 11000
Critical: 1
[V] Limit Break (This is active if you have four or more damage) [Counterblast: 2] Lock one unit with the clan name 'Nova'. For this turn, all the units in your field will be given a skill to allow them to stand once their attacks are over and will be given +5000 power except for the Vanguard. The Vanguard will be given +1 critical.
[V] If you rode a unit from a different clan, every card in that clan will be changed to the 'Nova' clan at all times. (The cards will only change back to normal once the fight is over)
Lord
" But the clan is different! The break ride won't succeed!" Naoki said
" Naive." Aichi said
" What?!"
" When 'Reverse' Nova rides a unit from another clan, the whole field, hand, damage, drop and deck, all changes to the 'Nova' clan for the rest of the fight! Call!" Aichi declared
" What?!"
" Everything changes to the 'Nova' clan?!" Takamina exclaimed
" What power!" Yuuko exclaimed
" Since the break ride succeeded, I give +5000 power to Escard, Gallatin and Cheer Up Trumpeter! +10000 power to 'Reverse' Nova! And... Limit Break! Lock! All rear guard units gain +5000 power and a skill! 'Reverse' Nova gains one more critical!" Aichi declared
" Not only does the rear guard units power up and gains a skill but the Vanguard gets an extra critical?!" Rekka exclaimed
" She's in trouble!" Ren said
" Escard attacks Jupiter!" Aichi declared
" No guard."
" Gallatin attacks Angelica!" Aichi declared
" No guard."
" 'Reverse' Nova! And the Limit Break skill that was given to the rear-guards! All rear-guards... Stand once more!" Aichi declared
" What?!"
" All rear guards stand?!" Chieri exclaimed
" That's not all... All of the rear-guards are still powered up!" Nagi said
" Guard! Quintet Wall!"
Five units went into the guardian circle. Two grade 0s with 10000 shield, one grade 1 unit with 5000 shield, one grade 2 unit with 5000 shield and one grade 3 units with 0 shield.
" Twin drive... I got a draw trigger! I give the power to Escard and I draw. Second check. I got another draw trigger! I give the power to Gallatin and draw. Here I go! Escard attacks!" Aichi declared
" No guard..."
" This is going to end this! Gallatin attacks!" Aichi declared
" Guard!"
" Turn end..."

" I stand and draw." Misaki said
" Alright! Boss Lady survived that attack!" Naoki said
" But with only one card in her hand with no front row rear guards. What is she going to do?" Kourin said
" But what does he mean by he's going to protect his world?" Kamui ask
" It's my fault too..." Kii said
" What do you mean?" Shingo ask
" Actually, he could have been able to get to the gate that time, but it wasn't noticeable, he actually hesitated before he was captured." Kii said
" He hesitated?" Leon ask
Kii sighed... " It's hard to explain but... All I can say is that once he crosses the gate and gets to the lake, he'll have to stay there in order to completely heal himself and the lake up." Kii explained
" How long will that be?" Naoki ask
" You could say a few weeks." Kii replied
" Then it's not so bad." Shingo said
" But the problem is this. After he is finished healing up with the lake, he'll come out and all his memories until now will be gone..." Kii said
" What?!"
" Everything until now?! Then he'll also forget about the Cardfight Club and everyone at Card Capital?! Even his family and everyone he knows?! He won't even remember Vanguard or 00 or his comrades?!" Naoki ask
" Yes... He'll only remember this world and Akibastar and his studies in school but... The others will never come back to him ever again." Kii said
" Then... That would really be losing his whole world..." Yuri said
Misaki had heard the whole conversation.
" Aichi..." Misaki thought
" I... The times that I've spent with everyone has been fun... All this while I've always thought... No one in the world would accept me as their friend... Weak, fragile, afraid... I've always been alone... But everyone was different... They accepted the way I am and we even had so much fun together, good or bad times... Those memories were too bright for me, for someone who has always been alone... Kai-kun gave that card to me... Then after that, I was able to make so many friends, it was thanks to that card... I grew stronger, with my comrades... That's why... I don't want to lose all those memories... It's just too much for me... I'm going to win this fight! And... I won't have to be alone anymore!" Aichi thought
" Aichi." Misaki said
" What is it?" Aichi ask
" I understand. You're suffering, aren't you? You don't want to lose any of the memories that we've spent together, right? That's why you're doing this." Misaki said
" You're wrong! You're all wrong!" Aichi said
" Don't deny it. You're lonely, and you don't want to be anymore. That's why you're trying to Reverse us." Misaki said
" Wrong! Wrong! I'm not like that! I... I..." Aichi said, he clenched his head when the memories all came back
" It's okay if you lose them. Because when you come back, we can make new memories. Forget about what has happened these past 2 years and make new memories where nothing even happens. Because when you come back, you'll never be alone. We can make new memories again." Misaki said
" It'll never be the same again if I make new memories!" Aichi said
" It won't change, because everyone is always with you." Misaki said
The image of his memories and friends all came to him.
" That image will never disappear. Call! And... I'm going to bring you back and make you realize that! Minerva attacks!" Misaki declared
" No guard!"
" Twin drive check! Second check!" Misaki declared
The card glowed yellow as Aichi gasped.
" Critical trigger! I give all the effects to Minerva!" Misaki declared
Minerva came flying in front of 'Reverse' Nova as Aichi looked on as the memories of his friends disappearing one by one. The attack hit.
" Damage trigger check... No trigger... Yeah, you're right, Misaki-san... But this is my..." Aichi said
Reverse left him as Misaki ran over to catch him.
" Aichi. You alright?" Misaki ask
Aichi opened his eyes.
" Misaki-san..." Aichi said
A red mist suddenly appeared behind Misaki.
" Look out!"
He pushed her away as the red mist surrounded him.
" Aichi!"
" Who knew that Reverse could be pushed back like that. Even my experiment won't be able to get to you now. But I'll deal with them first." Reversed Takuto said
He stepped in front and started to use his powers to blast the others.
" Stop it! Stop it right now!" Aichi shouted
But he could only watch as his friends and the units kept deflecting the blasts.
" Is there nothing I can do?" Aichi thought
He suddenly remembered something. He touched the earpiece that was still on his ear.
" No... I can do this one thing..." Aichi murmured
~ Return to the sea song start~
" Sazanami no BEDDO de me wo samashita asa ni"
" Subete ga owatte hajimaru no"
" Aichi?" Naoki ask
The ones who had gained the wings has an aura surrounding them.
" I can feel power flowing through me!" Sharlene said
" Me too!" Shingo said
" Alright!"
" Atatakaku shizuka na hikari ni tsutsumarete"
" Kibou ga michiteru umi ni kaeru no"
" Hora shiawase no kane ga natte nanatsu no umi ga kagayakidashitara"
" Ai no kiseki wo ichiban suki na anata to futari mitsumetai"
" Soshite sotto KISU wo shite ne"
~ Return to the sea song end~
The red mist disappeared around Aichi. He ran over to the others.
" It's over for you, Fake Takuto!" Naoki said
" How can you possibly beat me?" Reversed Takuto ask
" Watch! We will! Right, Aichi?" Misaki ask
" Y-Yeah!"
~ Kibou no Kaneoto song start~
" Yume no owari no negau no wa naze"
" Are hateta basho ni mo nanawa saku no ni"
" Nanairo no kaze nanairo no sona"
" Kibou wa sekai ni afureteru no ni"
" Machigaeta yume wo miteta dake"
" Ai no arikaya kioku no nazoto"
" Tsuki sasaru tsumetai kodoku ni"
" Anata wa kurushindata no"
" Junbaku no"
" Tsuba wo yasumete yasashiku nemutte"
" Ikitai to negai umareta deshou Saa"
" Kibou no kane oto saigo no uta wo ima"
" Tsuyoi mono dake no sekai janai kara"
" Listen to my love (Listen to my love) kono uta wo"
~ Kibou no Kaneoto song end~
Reversed Takuto started to disappear.
" Impossible! Just one song can defeat me?!" Reversed Takuto exclaimed
" It's not just a song. It's a song that connects all of us to Aichi!" Misaki said
" You'll not get away with this!" Reversed Takuto said
The black ring started to break as Reversed Takuto, along with Takuto was sucked into the black ring.
" It's finally over..." Ren said
" Yeah."
Aichi was behind them, standing at the edge of the building, looking at the sky. Kii floated onto his two palms.
" Kirara..."
His wings appeared as he flew off into the distance, without anyone knowing. Kamui turned behind after feeling a gush of wind.
" Huh? Where's Brother?" Kamui ask
They all turned behind and looked around.
" Aichi!"
" Where are you, Aichi?!"
" Aichi!"
" Sendou-kun?!"
" Brother Aichi!"
" Aichi-kun!"
" Sendou!"
" Where did you go, Aichi-kun?!"
" Aichi!"
" We need to find him!" Naoki said
" Yeah!"
Their wings appeared as they started to fly around the town.
" Where are you, Aichi?!"
" Aichi!"
" Sendou-kun!"
" Aichi-kun, please respond!"
" Aichi!"
" Brother Aichi!"
" Come out, Aichi!"
They kept flying around the town when they finally found Aichi, sitting at the park, on the stairs, looking at the water's reflection.
" Wait." Misaki said
Aichi looked at the reflection of the water as each of his friends' faces all appeared and disappeared in the water.
" I don't want to lose any of these memories..." Aichi thought
Misaki and the others flew down after that.
" Aichi."
" Leave me alone." Aichi said
" We know you don't want to leave but... It's to save Akibastar and 00. And I did say before... We can make new memories..." Misaki said
" But what if those memories can't come back anymore? Isn't all of those memories a waste of effort and time for everyone then?" Aichi ask
" It's not. Because if we didn't meet Brother, we wouldn't have so fun like now." Kamui said
" That's why I don't want to lose these memories..." Aichi said
" Aichi. We will find a way to get those memories back for you. So promise us, you'll go back to the lake to heal up and we'll meet each other again..." Naoki said
" But..."
" Sendou-kun, no matter how long you're away or even if you lose your memories, you'll always be my idol!" Shingo said
" You're Kai's best friend too! Apart from me, of course!" Miwa said
" I'll never forget about you, Aichi-kun! Because you saved me from Psyqualia, I still haven't repay you for that yet." Ren said
" You also helped us save Leon-sama, our gratitude is never enough to repay you for that too." Sharlene said
" Everyone..."
Aichi nodded.
" I got it. I'll go there and definitely come back here again!" Aichi said
" Now that's what we wanna hear! Now, go!" Naoki said
Aichi nodded.
" Before that..." Misaki said
She took out something from her pocket and placed it on Aichi's hand. A plain ring was there with a black string attached to it.
" This is...?" Aichi ask
" Our friendship ring. So that you won't be lost and come back here safe." Misaki said
Aichi put on the ring around his neck.
" Thank you, Misaki-san. Then... Here I go." Aichi said
His wings appeared as his coord also appeared. Kii came out again.
" Now that that's settled, let's go now. Akibastar needs their radiance back." Kii said
Aichi nodded. His wings glowed as the gate appeared.
" Then here I go. I'll see you guys soon." Aichi said
They nodded. Aichi was about to fly up when he was stopped by the others who arrived just in time.
" Aichi-kun! You'll come back, right?!" Koutei said
" We'll meet each other again, right?!" Yuri said
" Come back safely!" Gai said
" We'll always wait for you!" Reiji said
" WAWFY, yo!" Eiji said
" Sendou! The wind will definitely let you meet us once more!" Leon said
" Aichi Sendou! You definitely must come back! We still haven't fight the strong you!" Jillian said
" I hate to admit it but... Aichi Sendou! I acknowledge you as Ren-sama and my rival! Make sure you come back to fight us once more!" Asaka said
" Sendou! We pirates, will wait for you!" Gouki said
" Aichi! Make sure you come back!" Kourin said
" Aichi-kun! We'll fight again once more soon! So... We'll meet each other again for sure!" Suiko said
" Aichi Sendou! You don't have to worry about your family! Emi-chan and Mai-chan and your mother, we will make sure we take care of them until you come back! So you better come back soon to meet them again!" Rekka said
" Aichi! Come back to fight us at Card Capital again! You're... Our mate!" Kai said
Aichi smiled and turned to the gate. Kii secretly passed a message to Takamina and Yuuko before going with Aichi again.
" We'll definitely meet again, everyone..." Aichi thought
He flew up to the gate.
" Descend down! Rainbow gate!"
He entered the portal and went back to the lake after that.
