*Hikari's POV* a while later...
"Kage, I don't think I can tell them...not yet..."
"Hikari, you have to, now, before they find us."
I looked at my star-shaped pendant.
"...Okay..."
/I first need to find Pendulum,/ I told myself as I looked all around the house for him, even in his room.
/Where could he possibly be?/ I thought as I went to my last resort, the roof.
I peeked from the trapdoor that led to the roof, to see if he was there, and at the edge that faced the Palace I saw him staring at his pendulum.
"I miss you...Kitsune..." I heard him whisper as he gripped the Pendulum.
"Pendulum, are you...alright?" I asked as I walked up to him, he just side-glanced at me for a moment before looking back at his Pendant.
"I'm fine," He said. "You?"
"I'm good," I said. "Um, can I tell you something?"
"Sure."
"Aright then," I said as I concentrated on the new Baria spell I'd just learned. "Teleport."
And in an instant we were somewhere else.
"Huh? Kari where are we-" Pendulum stopped in mid-sentence as he looked around the area, we were somewhere that probably wasn't the Draco Demention.
"Hey, I found them!" I heard someone say. "Stop, thieves!"
"NANI?! THIEVES?!" We said in unison.
"Kari, GET US OUT OF HERE!" Pendulum yelled as we ran for our lives.
"Uh, 'Teleport!'" I said, but this time It didn't work. I waited until we found a hiding place that I decided to try it again.
"'TELEPORT'!" I failed again.
"Uh, Pen?"
"Yeah?"
"Um, how should I put this...I think we're stuck here."
A moment of silence.
"NANDE?!"
I knew that this was all my fault, and now here we were, in another demention possibly, all because of me.
I pulled my legs to my chest.
"Kari, why are you crying?" Pen asked as he crawled over and sat beside me.
"I'm the reason we're here...I'm the reason we'll be stuck here..." I said as I cried into my legs.
Then, I wrapped my arms around Pen and buried my face in his dark red and crimson Draco-scale chestplate.
"K-kari, what are you..." He stuttered as his pendant began to glow, dimly at first, but then, it suddenly turned into a blinding light.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was still in our shelter.
"Kari...I feel weird..." I heard Pen's voice say as my arms stretched out suddenly.
"W-WHAT?! WHY CAN'T I MOVE ON MY OWN?!" I yelled, I was freaking out!
"Hikari? Where are you?"
"I'm right here, where are you?"
"I'm in the middle of the shelter."
I facepalmed.
"OW, that hurt, but I never put my hand anywhere near my face..."
It hit me like a ton of bricks.
I grabbed the Pendulum and looked into it.
I saw that I looked almost like Pendulum, I now had black hair with crimson streaks, and my eyes where the same double colors like Pen's.
"We...fused..." I told us as I let go of the light blue pendant.
"But...how...and why...?"
