Recap
He(Kairi) then began to scream in pain. His chara screamed as well. The color was leaving the little samurai. He then turned black. He turned into an X character but much worse. It looked like he was covered in black fire with a giant red X on his head. Kairi stopped squirming. His eyes looked glazed over. -Nagi's POV
"Rima, quick. Where did you hide the necklaces?" -Nagi
"Hi-ka-ri."-Rima
"I hope you have a plan Nagi. We just abandoned our friends," -Amu
"I do but first Nade needs to wake up. I'll explain everything when we get back to the Royal Garden," -Nagi
Rhythm: Things are pretty intense right now
Temari: Shhh! Let the readers read. They've been waiting a long time for this.
Chapter 36 Breaking Into A Big Company...Again Part 2
*Nagi's POV*
"What the hell Nagi!" Utau yelled. Amu, Utau, Yaya, Tadase, Rei, and I were all standing around in the Royal Garden. Nade was still passed out as well as her chara. We ripped the necklace off her since Lulu had controlled her.
"We couldn't get everyone else out. They had turned into an extreme version of X characters. If they X charanari then we would have been done for. I don't want to leave behind everyone either.
"Then why to we have Nade-chi?" Yaya asked.
"Right before Rime turned, she told me that Hikari knew where Rei and Aarin's necklaces are. That's why we have Nade. We just need her to wake up," Nagi said.
"There's a problem though. We only have two of the necklaces. Only two of us could be immune," Amu said.
"It's obvious that Nagihiko should wear one. He hasn't charanari-ed while hit by that weird machine," Tadase said.
"Tadase, Yaya, or Rei should be the other one," Utau said.
"Why us?" Tadase asked.
"Amu and I can purify X characters so we're going to have to fight our friends or at least give you guys enough time to destroy that machine," Utau said.
"Tadase and Yaya have abilities to shield us if things arent going are way," Amu said.
"Rei can wear it then," I said.
"I hate to object but I want to focus on Nami. I want to save her the most. Don't get me wrong, I want to save our friends but Nami has been trapped for so long," Rei said.
"Where am I?" All of us looked at Nade who was now sitting up. Her and her chara were holding their heads as if they have headaches.
"You're at the Royal Garden. We carried you here," Tadase said.
"Where is everyone? How did the plan go?" she asked.
"We're the only ones that made it out. Everyone is controlled byu the machine. Hikari, we need to know where the Aarin and Rei's necklaces are," I said.
"I don't know where she hid them."
*Rima's POV*
I feel so cold. I feel so numb. I feel so worthless.
"The machine worked beautifully Thomas. We completely captured half the group. Unfortunately the Fujisaki twins escaped but they will be back. There is no way they will leave their friends behind," Mr. Valentine said. I was standing. It was as if puppet strings controlled me. I didn't care about anything.
"Miss Mashiro. Come here please," Mr Valentine beckoned. I felt my legs move towards him. I knew this man was evil but I couldn't bring myself to care.
"You are the Fujisaki boy's girlfriend correct?"
"Correct," I answered in a monotone voice.
"He must have told you his family's secret. Tell me!" he demanded.
"I don't know the secret," I said. Mr. Valentine tsked a few times.
"I thought that would be too easy but it was worth a shot. I have plans for you little Mashiro. Your boyfriend may not recognize you."
*Nagi's POV*
"What do you mean you don't know?!" I yelled.
"She never told me where she hid them. I assume she told you," Hikari said.
"She told me you knew," Nagi said.
"She never told me." I had held onto hope but now I felt it drain from me.
"We're wasting time. She must have hid it in her room somewhere. Let's go over there and find them," Rei said.
"What do we tell her parents?" Amu asked.
"We'll have to come up with something."Utau said.
*Time Skip*
"Hi auntie. I know I came here short on short notice but I left important lyrics to some songs. Rima told me she wasn't home and that she's hanging out with Ikuto to help him find a gift for Amu," Rei said as Mrs. Mashiro answered the door.
"Oh that's fine. I wish you would've told me and I could've mailed it to you," she said.
"I wanted to see everyone and this was sort of an excuse. That's why these guys are with me. We are going to catch up after I get my lyrics," Rei said.
"You can go ahead and look in Rima's room. You know where it is," Mrs. Mashiro said.
"Thank you," Rei said. We hurried up to Rima's room.
"Ok I bought us a few minutes but my aunt will get suspicious if we're up here too long," Rei said. We didn't need to be told. We searched through everything like dresser drawers, under her beg, through her desk, closet, and everywhere else we could think of.
"They aren't here!" Yaya whined.
"Where could she have possibly hid them?" Nade asked. I racked my brain. Why would Rima tell me that Hikari knew where they were when she clearly didn't. Hikari has to be the key to this. Hikari. Hikari. Hikari.
"Hi-ka-ri."
What does that mean? It has nothing to do with Nade's chara. Think Nagi think. Rima gave you an answer and you're letting her down. She's probably scared and you're failing her. It has to do with something about us or she wouldn't have mentioned it. Something that may have defined our relationship. Maybe it was before our relationship. Hikari. Hikari.
"Have you given it a name yet?"
"Given what a name?"
"Your monkey,"
"No, I think I'm a little to old to be naming toys. I just wanted it because it was cute,"
"Alright,"
"Hikari,"
"What?"
"The monkey's name is Hikari,"
"That's it! Hikari!" I thought out loud.
"What about me?" Hikari asked.
"Not you. Rima's toy. She named it Hikari the night I gave it to her," I said as I went over to the stuffed toy on her bed. I looked it over and I noticed a zipper on it's back. I opened it up and the necklaces fell out with some stuffing.
"Way to go Nagi!"
"Let's go get our friends back," I said.
*Time Skip*
*Mr. Valentine's POV*
"The kids are now walking into the building. They're in their charanari's already," Thomas said.
"Just like expected. Get into places everyone." I said. The controlled guardians stood ready to fight. They had yet to charanari. I wanted the remaining guardians to see their friends change. The Mashiro girl on the other hand, was not going to fight just yet. I have plans for her.
"Lulu. Control Nami. I imagine that the remaining guardians have come up with a plan. Don't let your guard down," I said.
"Yes sir," she relied.
*Nagi's POV*
"It's good to charanari again," Rhythm said. I had to agree with him. Beat Jumper felt great.
"We're not here to play around," Temari said. I looked at everyone in the elevator with me. Utau was in her seraphic charm charanari since she will be trying to purify our friends, Amu was in her Amulet Heart form since she has be quick, Rei was in her Guardian Angel charanari so she could fly and get the high ground with Utau, and Nade; Tadase; and Yaya are their usual charanari's. The elevator opened and we all stepped out. We saw all off our friends lined up in front of Mr. Valentine. I noticed Rima was missing. That worried me.
"So nice of you to join us," Mr. Valentine
"We're done with the formalities. Turn our friends back to normal," Nade said.
"I have a better idea," he replied as he snapped his fingers.
"My heart unlock." All of them were transforming.
Charanari X Lynx
Charanari X Jack
Charanari X Soul
Charanari X Tune
They looked like shadows. It's as their silhouette was moving instead of them. They were in their normal charanari's but the were blacked out. They has white empty eyes and giant, red X's on their foreheads.
"The boys are here but where are Rima and Nami," Rei said.
"They are going to stand back a bit for now. Have fun boys," Mr. Valentine said with another snap. The X charanari's walked towards us.
"Get ready to fight," I said.
Temari: Next Chapter will deffinately have some fighting in it.
Rhythm: Hopefully we all make it out in one piece
Temari: Question #38 What do you think Mr. Valentine's plans are for Rima?
Temari: Poor Rima
