That night, both Ichigo and Masaya started to feel their creatures calling to them so they led everyone to a nearby cave at the end of a forest.

"Couldn't this have waited till morning?" asked Mint as she yawned into her right hand.

"They are calling out to us right now," said Ichigo.

"We'll be back soon," said Blue Knight. With that, the two went into the pitch black cave.

"It sure is dark in here," said Ichigo as she heard water dropping from a stalactite on the ceiling.

"Yes it is," said Blue Knight. All of a sudden, the floor gave out from under them and the two screamed as they fell down a small tunnel, Ichigo holding onto her skirt so it wouldn't fly up. When Ichigo woke up, she found herself in a new section of the cave.

"Masaya, are you ok?" asked Ichigo as she got up. When there was no answer she started to look around and noticed that she was all alone. She then noticed a faint glow coming from up ahead. As she got closer, she noticed that she was in her normal human form.

"What is this place?" asked Ichigo as she reached the end of the small tunnel, she found herself on a ledge in a room with two lava pools that ran a good fifty feet in length.

"Welcome Ichigo Momomiya," said a voice from inside the room.

"Whose there?" asked Ichigo. A giant griffin then appeared in front of her as a whirlwind swept through the room.

"I have no name, but you can call me Griffin," said the griffin as he flew in the air over the cliff.

"Alright then, are you the one who has been calling to me, Griffin?' asked Ichigo.

"Yes I am, and your test will be one of love," said Griffin.

"What do you mean?" asked Ichigo with a confused face.

"You must choose between the powers you love, or the boy that you love," said Griffin as he pointed to the ceiling with one of his claws. Ichigo looked past him, at the ceiling and saw both Mew Ichigo and Masaya tied to one end of two ropes and the other end tied to some rocks right above the edge of the lava poopls.

"Choose wisely," said Griffin as he flew up to the ceiling and cut the ropes sending both falling to the lava pools.

"Masaya!" said Ichigo as she jumped off the cliff to catch him, however, when they were about to hit the lava, it vanished.

"Masaya, are you ok?" asked Ichigo as she held him in her arms.

"He's fine, and you choose right," said Griffin as he landed before her. Suddenly, Masaya vanished like the lava pools had and Ichigo transformed back into Mew Ichigo.

"None of it was real?" asked Ichigo as she got up.

"Of course not," said Griffin as he got on his knees.

"Now get on," said Griffin. Ichigo hesitated for a second but decided to get on any way. Once she was on his back Griffin took off to a nearby cliff that was on the other side of the room from where she had entered.

"Ichigo!" called Blue Knight as Griffin flew closer and Ichigo coot sight of him.

"I'm so glad to see that you're ok," said Ichigo after Griffin landed and as she ran over to given Masaya a hug.

"You have both passed the test," said a centaur that walked up to Blue Knight from a tunnel.

"I take it he's the one who called out to you?" asked Ichigo as she stopped hugging Blue Knight.

"Yes he is, meet Centaru, and just so you know my test was believing you would choose right," said Blue Knight.

"He was fully confident in you to save him, even his heart said he was, also it is an owner to meet you," said Centaru as he put one arm across his chest and bowed his head.

"That's enough Centaru, it's time for us to go," said Griffin as he faded into Ichigo.

"You're right old friend," said Centaru as he faded into Blue Knight.

"Looks like we did it," said Ichigo as he smiled at Blue Knight.

"Yes it does," said Blue Knight with a smile as his left arm went around Ichigo's shoulder, pulling her in tight to him. The two then somehow ended up outside the cave.

"Whoa, how did you two do that?" asked Pudding who was balancing on her head.

"I have no clue," said Ichigo.

"Well then, it looks like I'm the last one," said Phoenix.
