PART 5- RESCUE PLAN 32 FAILS...

They were all riding Gavin who was dutifully flying forward as steadily as he could although he often got side-tracked and swerved to try and catch birds.

A castle was now coming into view though the clouds. Gavin was getting more and more excited as he zoomed faster towards it.

Haruhi held on for dear life, finding the whole experience nauseating.

Kaoru and Hikaru were screaming in delight, Mori was holding Hunny steady as he was wildly looked around at the view, and Kyoya was sat up next to Gavin's head whispering instructions and shouting every time Gavin got distracted by one of the many luminescent birds.

They were getting closer to the castle and Haruhi felt her stomach do a painful swoop. Soon she would see Tamaki again...

Suddenly, Gavin violently swung left before doing an emergency stop in mid air. Everyone jolted forward violently.

"CINDER IS COMING!' Kyoya shouted.

Gavin was now trembling and all hosts had a look of panic on their faces.

"Cinder?!" cried Haruhi.

"Cinder!, That's Gavin's older brother, but he works for Vernis! Ahh… and Ash is coming to!"

Haruhi peered around Gavin's wing and saw in horror why Gavin was shaking. Gavin was miniscule compared to these. Two huge dragons were tearing their way towards them; one was black with sharp looking spikes and evil, dangerous, yellow eyes. The other one was a violent purple colour and large fangs were peering out of its mouth menacingly.

"Come on, Gavin! Use your fire-breath!!" Hunny screamed.

Gavin started coughing, wheezing and opening his mouth desperately but all that came out was small embers and smoke.

"COME ON GAVIN!" They all shouted

Gavin gave a fearful roar and tried with all his might, but it was no use. Nothing was happening.

"FORGET IT GAV! FLY AWAY!"

But it was too late. They were now being circled by these two goon-like dragons. On top of them rode various, sinister-looking knights, each dressed in black armour with a skull crest emblem engraved on it.

"CAPTURE HARUHI" one of them commanded, "MASTER VERNIS WANTS HER ALIVE!"

Haruhi gasped but everything happened before anyone had time to react. Suddenly, Ash shot out his long forked tongue and wrapped it around Haruhi, grasping her and then almost like an elastic band, came hurtling back towards its mouth

"DON'T EAT HER, YOU INSOLENT FOOL! WE NEED HER ALIVE!"

Ash opened his mouth again disappointedly, Haruhi still trapped in his tongue. Quickly, he thrust his tongue at the Knights who caught her roughly.

"NO, HARUHI!" She could hear the hosts scream, but it was too late. Ash and Cinder were now speeding off towards the castle, Cinder giving Gavin a painful whack of his tail as they parted, sending Gavin and the hosts hurtling down towards the ground.

PART 6- THE CHERUBS' CONFESSION

Haruhi struggled helplessly against the dark knight's grip.

"Let me go!" she cried, as his grip tightened on her arms and placed his hand over her mouth to silence her.

"UHHH MUFF Hugghhrrghhh!!"

The knights laughed menacingly, "Speaking is futile, mortal woman"

Haruhi lowered her head in frustration, giving a small "Umf!" noise in reply but then gave up. There was no point wasting her energy now.

They were very close to the castle now. It was massive and mystical, just like the ones you'd expect to see in a fairytale book. However, menacing black clouds littered the pink sky and the castle was covered in soot and spider-webs. As they drew closer, Haruhi could see metal bars over each window. The castle was looming over them and Haruhi shivered at its mere presence.

The dragon landed softly and Haruhi was hauled onto the ground where she was once again carried by the tall knight.

"We're taking you see King Vernis. You have 5 minutes to make yourself look respectable" he spat. "Do it or I'm sure…" He signalled to the large looking knight who began rubbing his hands together excitedly, "my friend will do it for you."

Haruhi looked down at herself and understood what they were talking about, she was covered in soot from the dragon's mouth and smelt of burnt ham.

"Go get a wash and change into the clothes we've provided, and as quick as you can or else" He gestured again to the now slobbering knight.

Haruhi nodded and quickly cleaned herself before putting on the red velvet dress that was embroidered with pretty sequins. She sighed; she would have much preferred her usual pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

The knight came in and nodded in approval. "It is time for you to meet King Vernis".

……

The hosts gripped onto Gavin as he fell, flying backwards, bashing into trees on his way down. Finally with a loud crash, Gavin collided with the ground and skidded into a vast pile of squelchy mud. The hosts all flew off in different directions as Gavin lay covered in muck and cuts.

"NOOO!" cried Hikaru, kicking a stone that lay by his feet.

"HARUHII!"

Hikaru was storming around in anger, and Kaoru followed him. Neither twin knew quite what to do.

Kyoya went to tell them to calm down as Mori went to help Gavin, who was moaning on the floor.

"Its ok, Gavin, it's not your fault that you didn't use our fire-breath" Mori whispered. Gavin began wagging his tail again before wrapping it around Mori and allowing him to sit on it.

"I can't believe we lost another Haruhi!" said Midge as he lay in the muddy water.

"And if we don't hurry, tomorrow Tamaki will be..." Hunny shuddered.

"Kyoya..." said Hikaru, "When you said to Haruhi that she had unfinished things to say... what did you mean?"

Kyoya sighed, he had a stick in his hand and wrote 'RESCUE PLAN 33' in the mud.

"In Haruhi's world, Haruhi and Tamaki were not together. Tamaki sacrificed himself to save Haruhi from those large metal things that nearly got you... I believe Nekozawa calls them cars."

"Poor Haruhi" said Hunny sadly. His large, baby-like eyes rapidly filled with tears and Mori bent down to mop them up with his sleeve.

"I am of the opinion that Haruhi wants to express her feelings... she wants to say sorry and tell him she loves him..."

"URGH! More dilly-dally talk about love!"

The hosts sprang to their feet in alarm, before realising it was the cherubs.

Midge growled in anger.

"You used to bee' always a' preaching about love! Another Haruhi has come and this is her chance to find love and all you can do is mock and be cynical! GO GET YERSELF SOME UNDERPANTS AND BUGGER OFF UNLESS YEE' WANT TO BE USEFUL!"

The cherubs were silent once more before one of them spoke,

"We thought we heard her before, but after she died, love seemed to die too" the cherubs said sadly. "We feed off love, and without it we become like this"

For the first time the cherubs came into view. The hosts reeled back in shock. The once plump cherubs were now skinny and gaunt, their bones sticking out painfully and their wings torn and weak.

"When Vernis killed Queen Haruhi and ended her and Tamaki's love, he killed us too. Were sorry, but we're powerless to help until we see true love once more, good luck."

With a fluttering of wings the cherubs vanished, leaving the group horrified. It was a couple of minutes before anyone spoke.

Midge had his fists clenched in anger.

"Kyoya, you better get working on Rescue Plan 33! Because this is the last chance we have and we have to save our world, as well as Alternate-Haruhi!

"Hurrah!" cried everyone. Picking up sticks they all started to plot their next and final plan.....
