After taking off, it took Gakushu an hour to reach the home of the green dragons which was to the east of them.
"Oh no, the barrier is up," said Gakushu as he noticed a green energy field around the village.
"Don't worry, I got this," said Ryūji as he stood up and took Slash Breath out. With one swing, the barrier was destroyed.
"Nice move," said Gakushu as they landed. However, after everyone climbed off of Gakushu, they found soldiers standing with their swords out.
"Who are you?" asked the lead soldier.
"They are with me," said Gakushu as he turned to his human form.
"King Gakushu, we did not know that you were coming," said the lead soldier as he and the others put their swords down before kneeling.
"That's because it's an emergency," said Gakushu as they headed for the castle.
"We're almost there, Rose," said Ryūji as he carried her on his back. By now her veins had turned black and her fever was getting worse. When they reached the castle, Gakushu took them directly into the throneroom.
"King Gakushu, what is the meaning of you barging in here?" asked the King who was sitting on the throne next to his wife.
"I'm sorry, but my daughter has fallen ill from the helmet that we protect," said Gakushu.
"Quickly, use the sister helmet," said the green king as he pointed to a gold helmet on the left wall.
"Do we put it on her head?" asked Ai as she returned with the helmet.
"It only has to be placed in her hands," said the green queen as she and the king walked up. The second the gold helmet was put into Rose's hands the other helmet reappeared on her head as her veins turned back to normal.
"She'll be fine now," said Gakushu as he wrapped two napkins around his hands before removing the helmet.
"But she still has a fever," said Ryūji as he felt Rose's forehead.
"She'll have that for a while, you can let her rest in our guest room, we'll call a doctor to get some medicine," said the green king.
"Thank you, by the way we didn't get your names," said Eriko.
"My name is Dunkan and this is Emerald," said the king. Later that night, Misaki was going to check on Rose when she caught Ryūji sleeping in a chair next to her bed.
"Looks like he fell asleep while waiting for her to wake up," thought Misaki as she smiled at Ryūji's sleeping face.
"Rose, please be alright," said Ryūji in his sleep.
"Guess I never really had a chance with him," thought Misaki as she left with a few tears in her eyes.
