Here's chappy two. For those of you whole are wondering what Sweet Harmony looks like here you go: Ami's hair (which by the way is now shoulder length) is in two ponytails. She has a headset like Amulet Diamond and she wears a similar outfit to that of Utau when she performed "Glorious Sunshine". I should also tell you that some of the chara nari outfits for Tadase and Amu have changed a little so that they are more age appropriate. Platinum Royale is no longer frilly nor is it just one color. It is mostly white and gold with a with a red cape. I'll explain Amu's outfits during the story.
"Everyone let's get them away from the building," Nagihiko said, firing Blaze Shoot.
"Juggling Party!"
"Go, Go, Little Duckies!"
"You should try herding them toward the field," Nikaido suggested.
"Amu-chan, go and wait for them there," Tadase said.
Amu took to the sky. As she neared the field, she noticed that there were even more x-eggs there than the cloud of ones back at the Royal Garden. Oh no, she thought, I don't think I can handle this many by myself.
"MURI, MURI, MURI!", the eggs screeched, unleashing a beam of energy. The blast hit Amu before she had a chance to evade it. She fell to the ground unable to get up.
"Amu-chan, are you okay?", Dia asked weakly.
"There are too many of them and I can't move," Amu replied. At that moment, the Humpty Lock stopped glowing and Amu changed back to normal.
"Dia, can you try to get back to the others?", Amu asked.
"I think so. But I don't like the idea of just leaving you here defenseless," Dia said.
"I'm not a threat to the x-eggs right now so I doubt they'll attack me. Now go!", Amu ordered. Dia flew away as fast as she could while trying to evade the x-eggs that tried to block her escape routes. When she was out of sight, Amu sighed. I wish I could do something, Amu thought, but I don't think I have the strength to fight back. Even if I did, I probably wouldn't have the speed to evade them and attack. I just have to wait for Dia to come back with the others. Amu looked at the eggs who stared back at her menacingly.
Meanwhile, Dia slowly made her way to the Royal Garden. She spotted the Guardians fighting an immense number of x-eggs. Dia noticed Yaya, Rima, and Kukai laying against a tree, each of them holding their Shugo Charas. Temari and Akira were tending to Pepe, Kusukusu, and Daichi.
"Yaya-chan, Rima-chan!", Dia shouted
"Dia? What are you doing here?", Yaya asked.
"I came to get help. Amu's in trouble. There's an even larger horde of x-eggs at the field. They hit Amu and I with a powerful blast that ate away at Amu's strength. She's laying in the middle of the field right now. She can't get up.", Dia said, tears threatening to fall.
"There's not much we can do, Dia. Pepe, Kusukusu, and Daichi are in no shape to chara nari right now," Temari said sadly.
"Fujisaki-kun!", Tadase shouted, as he watched Nagihiko fall to the ground his chara nari cancelled.
"Soothing Lullaby!", Ami exclaimed. She started to hum the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".
"MUURRRRRIIIII!", the eggs screeched, unleashing a barrage of energy beams at Sweet Melody.
"Holy Crown Special!", Tadase shouted. A large, golden dome appeared around Ami, but the x-energy pierced through the barrier and hit her. Ami fell to the ground defeated.
"Ami-chan!", Akira cried, she started to fly towards her but Temari and Dia stopped her.
"No, you'll get hurt," Temari said.
"There's no way that Tadase-kun can defeat these alone. It's over. We've lost," Dia said, tears flowing down her face.
At the field, things weren't looking too good either. The x-eggs started moving closer to Amu. Many of them giggled evilly as they watched her lay there defenseless. Amu had started to panic when Dia didn't come back after ten minutes. This is it, she thought, the x-eggs getting closer by the second.
"Ganbare! Ganbare! Amu-chan!", a voice said.
"What was that?", Amu said, looking around.
"You can do it Amu-chan. Remember what it feels like to truly believe in your would-be self", the voice said.
That voice, Amu thought, I know that voice. Amu closed her eyes. That voice is…, an image of an plaid egg with red hearts on it appeared, Ran! Amu eyes snapped open. The egg was gone. Was that just my imagination?, she asked herself.
"Amu-chan, I'm right here.", Ran said. Amu felt something in her hand move. She turned her head, there in her hand was the egg. Amu stared at it in disbelief. The egg inched its way out of Amu's grip and flew so that it was hovering above her. It cracked open and out flew the little cheerleader.
"Ran…", Amu said, tears flowed down her face.
"Amu-chan, let's hurry and help the others," Ran said.
"I don't have the strength, Ran", Amu said.
"Yes you do. As long as you believe in your would-be self, you will always have the strength to keep fighting.", Ran said, taking a hold of Amu's hand and gently lifting it up. Amu slowly eased herself into a sitting position. Then with new found confidence she got to her feet. Amu grasped the Humpty Lock in her hands. The x-eggs were stunned at the sight of Amu standing up. Humpty Lock, give me courage, Amu said silently.
"MUUURRRRRIIIIIII!", the eggs screeched, unleashing another energy beam.
"My own heart, UNLOCK!"
"Chara nari: Amulet Heart!"
"Ran, my outfit is different," Amu said.
Instead of the usual tank top, Amu was wearing a strapless pink shirt that showed off her midriff. A light pink baseball type jersey was tied like a halter top over the strapless shirt. Amu's pink skirt was replaced by a pair of red short shorts. She wore a pair of knee high light pink socks in place of her leg warmers. Amu's shoes and hairdo hadn't changed though, except that she no longer had a visor. Instead she a pink and red baseball cap with her ponytail coming out the side.
"Amu-chan, let's go!", Ran said.
"Heart Rod! Spiral Heart Special!"
"MURI!", the eggs fought to break free of the powerful attack but no avail.
"Negative Heart, Lock On! Open HEART!", Amu exclaimed, purifying every egg.
"Wow, that was a powerful Open Heart.", Ran commented.
"Yeah it's more powerful than the old Open Heart. And it didn't come out as a beam, like it usually does," Amu agreed.
"Anyways, Amu-chan lets go help our friends."
