Chapter 5 – The Truth

Mikan's POV

I went to the Northern Forest to meet Persona and train my other alices. He was there waiting for me. Oh no! I forgot to bid my friends goodbye... Anyway, they will not notice it because they were busy researching about the project that Narumi-sensai gave.

"Persona, can you do a little favor for me?"

"What is it Ms. Sakura?" he asked to me.

"Please don't tell my friends about my other alices and that Im going on a missions. Especially don't tell it to Natsume".

"You can trust me for that, silver moon". He said

"What? What did you just called me? I asked him

"Your code name is silver moon and here take this". He hand me a silver mask that can cover my whole face. It is a moon shape.

"You must wear that in every mission that I will give you. The purpose of the mask is to hide your identity". He said to me.

"Let us now begin your training"

End of POV

This went on and on for 2 weeks. Mikan finally mastered all her alices but she end up fainting when she uses her alice. She even fell asleep during classes and she was less cheerful this time. Her friends was worried about her especially Natsume. They were eager to know what was happening to her. So they planned.

Hotaru invented a butterfly that has camera on it. It is connected to Hotaru's computer so that they will see what's she's doing. They all agreed to watch Mikan on Hotaru's lab on Saturday since there was no classes.

Saturday came and all class B students were on Hotaru's lab except Mikan. They all get quiet and started to watch her.

Mikan

It was 8:00a.m. and Mikan woke up. She took a bath, brush her teeth and got dress. She wore a skirt and a yellow shirt. She went down and ate her breakfast. She wondered were her friends are but she thought that they went to Central Town to have some fun. She did not notice that a butterfly was following her. She went to the Sakura tree and lay there.

"I wonder what was Natsume's doing". She said to herself.

Hotaru's Lab

They were all silent and watching Mikan. Until Koko spoke.

" I don't think she's hiding something from us".

"I agree with you, Koko". Anna and Nonoko said.

"No, she's hiding something from us". Natsume said.

"Yes, she is. She is my best friend and I know her very much" Hotaru said.

"Just shut up and let's just watch her" Hotaru said.

They all nodded and they continue watching Mikan.

Mikan

She went back to her room and took a nap. She was awakened by the voice of Persona.

"Silver Moon…Silver Moon… wake up." Persona said.

"What do you want Persona?" Mikan asked seriously.

"You are now move to the top star rank and you will begin your first mission now". He said

"But… the pain in my back is still not yet gone when we trained last day and it hurts". She said.

"You will go on your mission or you will just let your friends and Natsume suffer just because of your laziness?" he said.

"Ok... ok... So what's my mission?"

"You will just save the school principal from the AAO. Wear this". He handed her a black gown, a bracelet and her mask.

"The location of your Mission will be on a party. That bracelet will let you control your alices. Save the principal and come back here alive, got that?"

"Hai..." she said and watch him fade away.

Hotaru's Lab

Everybody was shocked from what they have seen.

"What other alices? And what was Persona doing there? Why he had to do this to her? What mission?" Asked all of them except for Natsume who had sent to missions.

Natsume was very angry at Persona. He was angry to him because he sent Mikan to missions and he and his friends made them the reason just to force Mikan to go to that stupid missions.

"Natsume ran to Mikan's room to stop her but he was late. She was gone so He went again to Hotaru's lab. They all felt that it was getting hotter and the reason of it was Natsume because he's burning in anger. Ruka comfort him and he calm down.

That's the reason why Persona give me less mission because Mikan was there to take over to me. I don't know what am I going to do if something bad happens to Mikan. He thought.

Mikan's Mission

Mikan entered the party. She was wearing the black gown, bracelet and the mask that was given to her by Persona. After a while the party started. The school principal was on the center with many guards surrounding him. After a while, there appeared the 20 men with a black shirt.

"What do you want?" asked the school principal angrily.

"We want you" said a man in the right side.

Mikan quickly went in front of the school principal to defend him.

"Get out of this place now or else you'll regret it". She said.

"Who are you to give us-"he was cut because of the wind circling them then the floor quickly crack. The trees had begun moving to them. Then dozens of ice (shape by the arrow) attack them. All the men died with just one snap.

"Thanks for saving me". The school principal said happily.

"It's my pleasure to save you, dear school principal, I'm Silver Moon and I was sent here to protect you. I'm sorry but I have to go now". She said then left.

She went back to the academy and went straight to her dorm. She lied on the bed because the pain she's feeling is very strong. She was holding on the sheet of her bed tightly because of the pain. She reached the pain reliever that Persona gave her and swallowed it but it's no use. The pain won't go away. She was screaming of the pain.

Hotaru's Lab

They watched all that was happening to Mikan. They are sad knowing that she do this because she wants to protect them. They were shocked because Mikan had other alices but she didn't tell them. There was silence until Natsume went out of the lab and was running to the room of Mikan to bring her to the hospital. All of his classmates followed him
