*Kage's POV*

"Aibou, hai-o."
"Hai-o, Kage-Oji," My guardian said happily as she cooked some breakfast. "Wait, how did you know I was Aibou, not Ritsu?"
"Did you forget that I'm a mage?"
"Oh..." Aibou said as she bowed. "I'm sorry, Oji-sama!"
I smiled at her.
"I'll go get Hikari." I said as I started up the stairs towards her room.
"Hikari, time for breakfast!" I said as I opened her door...but...she...wasn't there.
"Aibou, Hikari's missing!"

*' Karilum's ' POV*

"Pendulum, I'm very sorry,"
'Kari...stop that...'
"What do you mean, Pen?"
'Stop blaming yourself, 'kay'
I felt my face warm up.
"Hey, Pen?"
He didn't say anything, but I knew he was listening.
"Does it feel weird...sharing a body...?"
'...Not...really...' Pen said.
"Surround them!" I heard somebody yell as Pendulum started running towards the area.
The area was surrounded by cops and a pair of motorbikes, along with some monsters and people in the center.
I noticed that the people were familiar.
"Yuya?! Yuzu?!...SHINGO?!" Pendulum and I said in unison, but then, I noticed Pendulum was looking at a certain area next to Yuzu...a flash of orange hair.
'...K-kitsune...?' I heard him say as we collapsed, tears in our eyes.
"Huh, who's that?" A police officer asked as he looked at us. "Get him, he might be with the criminals!"
"Pen, let's run!"
'No...I have...to...make sure...it's her...' He said as we slowly started standing up.
"PENDULUM!"
Suddenly, a white blur jumped in front of us.
"Hey, Top Cops! Catch me if you can~!" It said, playfully as it dashed around the area, distracting them.
"Stop, you!" The cops said as they tried to catch it, but it was too fast, even for their motorcycles.
"You're tryin' ta get me like that? Hah! I've been racin' with Yugo-nii since I hatched, 'yall never get me ridin' that slow!" It laughed as it accelerated.
"Oh, wait a sec!" The blur said as it swiped us up and placed us somewhere else.
"Sorry, I should've introduced myself before I swiped 'yall like that." It said as I finally saw what he looked like. He had black and white streaks in his hair along with a teal fringe, he was wearing black, white, and sky blue armor. And his face, looked exactly like Pendulums.
"I'm ClearWing, but you can call me Synch." He sat next to me.
"So, what's a Doll like you doin' in a place like this?" He asked. "If I didn't know better, I'd think you'd be from the Tops!"
"What's the 'Tops'?" I said.
"Oh, It's a place where all the rich folks of New Domino City live," He explained. "Hey, I don't think you've told me your name yet."
"It's Hikari," I said.
"Hey, What about me?" Pendulum said aloud.
Synch stared at me.
"Was that you?"
"No, It's me, Pendulum."
"Hikari, why do 'ya sound funny?!"
"I'm not Hikari, I'm the person she's sharing a body with!" Pen said.
The hideout was silent.
"That's...so...COOL!" Synch exclaimed as he crawled over to me and gently grabbed a lock of my hair.
"So, are you two fused together or somethin'?" He asked as he studied the crimson and red hair.
"I suppose so." I said as I felt him let go of the hair.
I looked at him and saw that he was bent down on one knee and had his back towards me.
"Come on," He said as he looked over his shoulder. "Climb on."
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"I'll show you." He smiled as I climbed on his back.
"Hold on tight," He exclaimed as he jumped out of our hideout with me screaming and clinging on to his back for dear life. "It's gonna be a bumpy ride!"
*Meanwhile, Novi's POV*
"Alcon, I've followed Starblast's location to this area." I said.
"Novi, do you think he will believe you?" Alcon asked.
"He has to," I said as I gripped by sword. "He's all I have left of Rebellion."
*Flashback*
"Reb, I have a surprise for you~." I said happliy.
"Novi, what is it?"
"You'll just have to follow me~!" I said as I grabbed his hand and led him to my room.
"Now wait while I get it out." I said as I walked in the room and cradled a cloth-wrapped bundle and got out.
"Surprise~!" I said as I gave him the bundle.
He looked at it with a puzzled expression before he started to unwrap it, then, he saw the violet color that I'd known for a few weeks now.
It was a dragon egg.
He looked at me, then the egg before crying tears of happiness.
We both embraced the warm, pearly egg in our arms.
*End of flashback*
I felt hot tears fall down my cheeks as I remembered him.
"My little prince," I said as I wiped my tears. "Starblast."
