The next day, Sena, in her hood, instructed to the others, as she held up Azusa's hammer, "Everyone, I got a letter from the evil queen… Here's what she said."

She read the letter:
"To Sena,
I have what you got, and I have your beloved princess. If you wish to face me, one-on-one, come alone. If you think of bringing your pathetic minions to save her, and try and stop me… you're dead wrong.
If you want to kill me, come to me. I'll be at my castle, waiting for you. Sena, this, my friend, is where it ends. I know your skills… and I know your moves… but I don't know your plan. Come see me, if you dare.
The Evil Queen Blossom C."

Ginti asked, "Uh, who's Blossom?"

Sena shivered, "I was afraid of this… This is the same woman that I told you about. She was a powerful woman, but she wasn't named Blossom…"

He asked, "Who was she?"

"I can't say…" Sena explained, "But time is of the essence. We have to charge the castle, now. I know where it is, and we have to work together. Your training has paid off, and you have to use your Ty Ko Ky to stop them. DO NOT falter. Now, we should split into teams of three. Origami!"

Origami bowed and said, "Yes, my master?"

Sena said, "You, Mio, & Ritsu will be team #1. Mio, for once, do not let Azusa's death be a burden to you."

She then boomed, "Do not let yourselves be open, and do not let our allies' deaths be in vain! They will be avenged!"

Mio said, "Yes, ma'am."

Ritsu nodded, "You can count on us. What she did to our friend, she'll pay for this! Break up the band, will she?"

Sena nodded, and then said to Ginti, "Ginti, you and Saya will be by my side."

Saya bowed, as Ginti remarked, "Yes, ma'am."

Sena said, "Now, let's see how well you two will learn from your training. Everyone, let's stop her!"

They left the dojo, as they prepared for the battle.

Meanwhile, in her citadel, the Evil Queen Blossom was viewing the dusky sky, as she said, "It's time…"

She turned to Tohka and Shiina, as she ordered, "I shall send in my demons to stall them for time. You two, make sure that they never enter."

They said, "Yes, master."

"I shall see how our prisoner is doing…" Blossom said, as she headed to the dungeon.

They walked off to the main doors, heading to the entrance, to begin the ambush.

Minutes later, the entire group was walking through the dark forest, as Ginti asked, "Are you sure you know where it is?"

"I know so." Sena said, "I've been there, before, and I almost bested her. Be wary, on her minions… Her demons are tricky ones, and they're known to slaughter you, in an eyelash."

"And about our powers?" He asked her.

Sena said, "It's very sensitive. Your Ty Ko Ky can eviscerate them, with ease."

He said, "I see… But I didn't even tap into it."

Saya replied, "That's because you're being locked up inside. I know I'm going to focus, because I have to be strong."

Mio said, "It's alright, Ginti. Ritsu and I already know it, only when we get emotional."

Ritsu added, "Yeah. We can use Ty Ko Ky, with ease, ever since Mugi was kidnapped. Sena trained us to be very strong…"

Sena said, "Yes, but Origami is stronger than the both of you."

Origami said, "Correct. But I can handle it, myself, since I can best these beasts. Right?"

Sena said, "Right. But I want you to remain focused."

Mio whispered, "Since we've met her, it's like… she's very cold, towards us. I wonder if she had any friends."

Sena said, "Focus on the mission. Origami, take the west area of the forest, that way. Mio, Ritsu, follow her. You two, we take the east side."

Saya and Ginti followed Sena, as Mio, Ritsu, & Origami separated from them. Blossom viewed it from the crystal ball, on the way to the dungeon, as she hissed, "Good… Six pests… exterminated…"

She waved her hand up, and demons started to emerge from the ground, in the way of where the group was heading. Numerous green and black demons, with talons and fangs, appeared in front of Origami's team, while an army of red demons suddenly appeared from Sena's side.

"IT'S A TRAP!" Sena cried.

Ginti swatted one demon away, and then split the demon in half with his battleaxe. Saya used her sword to slash down three more demons. Sena stepped back, as she was observing. She thought, "Impressive. They are learning well."

Saya cried, "MA'AM! BEHIND YOU!"

Sena turned around and destroyed a demon that was behind her, with her D-Sword. She swung her D-Sword high that it suddenly removed her hood. Ginti and Saya continued to fight back, as the red demons continued to lunge and attack the group.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, Origami held her sword up, as she met with the black and green demons. She instructed Mio to fight beside her, while Ritsu would prepare. Two green demons lunged towards Origami, but she decapitated them, through the neck. Ritsu charged at the next green demon, but the demon started to spit at the ground. It created a hole from the ground, as Ritsu halted, near the small hole.

"What the-? Is that acid?" Ritsu gasped.

Origami snarled, "Shit. The Evil Queen knows how to hurt a girl… She's conjured up demons that can melt a person's bone off, in seconds."

Mio cried, "I'm scared… I can't fight it…"

Origami started to brim in a darker shade, as she said, "Let me worry about this."

She attacked the acid demons, using her sword, slicing them into pieces. The last demon, however, spat into Origami's face, but she dodged out of the way, only to be nicked in the right shoulder. She cried in pain, as Mio & Ritsu yelled, "ORIGAMI!"

Mio charged at the horde of demons, as her aura started to brim in a darker color. Ritsu joined in, as they began to use their powers to lambast the demon horde. She launched her right fist, with her gauntlet, and smashed the demons that approached her, into mulch. Mio dropped her sword, in fear, as she was sickened. She dropped to her knees and sobbed, "Gross… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! SO SICK!"

Ritsu cried, "MAN UP! THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM!"

Mio nodded, as she showed courage, and then sliced off two green demons, through the neck. Origami slashed her sword down onto a green demon, with only her left arm. Her right arm was badly hurt, because of the small drop of acid on her shoulder. She easily killed off each demon, with a sideways and diagonal slash, tearing them to pieces. Mio landed a blow with her sword, onto two black demons. One green demon appeared from behind and clasped her neck. Mio screamed, as the demon was about to drool corrosive acid onto her. Ritsu landed a huge right jab onto the demon, and knocked it off, before it could douse her with its drool. Ritsu said, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine!" Mio cried, "But what about her?"

Origami was surrounded, as Mio said, "Come on. We have to help her."

They went to Origami, as she said, "I don't need your help."

"You're injured." Mio replied.

Ritsu said, "Let's beat them, together!"

They rushed at the demons, as Origami had a slight smile on her face.

Meanwhile, more of the red demons were being killed by Sena and Ginti. Saya suddenly stopped, and saw Ginti about to be lunged at. He swung his axe at the huge demon, but he couldn't slice it off. The demon shoved him into a tree, and lunged towards the victim, opening up his razor-sharp incisors. Saya ran towards Ginti and dove into the way. The demon chomped onto her shoulder, and she started to scream in pain. He cried out, "SAYA!"

Sena cried out, "NO!"

Saya was on the ground, holding her wounded shoulder. Ginti growled, and suddenly had a pulse of energy emit from his hands. He swung his battleaxe, and it shot out red lasers onto the demons. They started to melt, as they were vaporize by Ginti's attack. He gasped, as he cringed, "No way… Did I do that? No way…"

Holding up her D-Sword, Sena called to Ginti, "Take Saya and run! I'll handle it from here!"

"What about you?"

"Never mind me! I'll be alright! Get to safety! It's not safe! Preserve your strength! NOW GO!"

He helped Saya up, and then ran off, through the dark forest. Sena began to slash off the demons, one-by-one.

Ginti had Saya in her arms, as she moaned, "Help me… I'm badly hurt…"

Ginti said, "It's alright. Lemme get you to safety…"

Moments later, Ginti placed Saya by a tree, as she was sitting down. He removed her shirt and said, "Lemme see your wound… Perhaps I can suck out the venom from those demon's fangs."

She moaned, "Please do… Just as long as my healing factor kicks in…"

"Can you move your arm?"

"Pretty much…"

Ginti started to pucker his lips and suck out some venom and blood. He spat it out and said, "It's alright, Saya… You'll live, right?"

"I will…" she moaned, and heaved, as she was being treated, "Just… Just leave me…"

Ginti removed his shirt and ripped off a piece of white cloth. He wrapped it around her shoulder and said, "There. You can still move your arm, but once you're okay, we can go and attack that Evil Queen."

"Thank you… Ginti…" Saya smiled.

She adjusted her glasses, and held her sword. She said, "Ginti, I don't know how you suddenly had a burst of energy-."

"When I saw you, in front of me, I was shocked. You saved me from that demonic beast."

"I know… You cared for your fiancé, more than anything else… but you wouldn't abandon your friends, would you?"

"I wouldn't."

"No, I guess not."

She sat up, and then held his hands, "Ginti, I want to let you know… Should we not survive, then it was a pleasure working with you."

"I know… All I wanted is Mugi, and no one else… But… Having to side with her friends… It's good, because I want to help out. But if I let her die, it'll be on me, and I'll never forgive myself."

Saya hugged him and said, "It's alright. We can save her. Three of our allies are dead… and we do not want to lose another…"

Ginti whispered, "Yeah…"

They looked at each other, as Saya went closer. Her lips touched onto his, and they started to kiss. Ginti pushed her back and was about to say something, but Saya socked him in the face, dropping him to the ground. She undid her hair and removed her glasses, as her eyes went red and hostile, again. She grabbed Ginti's shirt and ripped it open, removing the buttons. She pinned him down, as she said that she's not controlling it. She then removed her bra and started to kiss Ginti, again, while being pinned on the ground. They suddenly started to make out, while on the ground. Ginti was trying to plead that he's already got Mugi, but Saya couldn't listen.

Saya whispered, "Ginti… Say that you are him… Say that you're Itsuki…"

"Huh? Who's Itsuki?"

"He was my lover, until he died…"

"But…"

"SHUT UP! Say his name! And say Fumito's name, too!"

"Uh, Itsuki… Fumit-?"

POW!
Saya punched his face, again, as she was panting. She grabbed his face and continued to lip lock him. She whispered, "You bastard… You fucking bastard…"

They continued onward for a full hour, as the clouds continue to darken, and the sky turned deep red.

Meanwhile, in Blossom's citadel, she approached Mugi's cell, as she said, "Tsumugi Kotobuki…"

Mugi growled, "You… You kidnapped me… Release me, at once!"

Blossom scolded, "Uh-uh-uh… You can't leave… I need you… for something special."

Mugi sobbed, "What do you want from me?"

Blossom beckons her to come closer, as Mugi walked slowly to her, with her ankle still shackled in chains. She reached the bars, as Blossom grabbed her neck. She whispered, "Ginti's mine…"

Mugi pleaded, "No… If you harm him, I'll kill you… He'll never leave me…"

"He's not going to save you. He's already forgotten you."

"You're lying. My boyfriend… He's still alive."

"No… I'm afraid he's gone away to visit an angel. I can sense it, since he's being mauled to death, by my demons… A pity, and you didn't invite me to the wedding?"

Mugi broke free and sobbed, "You're a liar! Ginti's alive! I know it!"

"Aw, your red string of fate is frail… and tearing apart… What a pity… You're a pathetic girl with big eyebrows… I'll never understand why that man chose an ugly woman like you…"

"You bitch! I am NOT ugly!"

"Oh, yeah? Your eyebrows say different…"

Mugi stepped back, as she growled, "You won't get away with this."

Blossom then smirked, as she removed her black mask, showing a little of her face, and with auburn hair from inside. She said, as her mouth and nose was exposed, "Oh, I already did… Kotobuki…"

She removed her hood and cackled, showing her long auburn hair, done in low pigtails. Mugi gasped, "No… Oh, no… You… … … Who are you?"

Blossom said, "Oh, someone you know… especially since you broke the heart… of my Dear Brother…"

She hollered, "YOU USELESS WHORE!"

Mugi was shaken, as she recognized her, "N-No… It's not true… You're… You're…"

She replaced her mask and hood back on and said, "Now then, dear Mugi… I have a proposition for you, if you're willing to survive, that is…"

Mugi was in disbelief, as Blossom continued, "How would you like to be my servant, and possibly recruit your boyfriend to my employment? I mean, after all, you and Ginti are in love, and I wish to spar him, if you'd join me. You can be my maid, if you like."

Mugi would reply, as she was angry, "Never. I'd rather die, than have Ginti and I work for an ungrateful woman like you!"

"Ungrateful?!"

"You always preach about your brother, and suddenly you changed. I know of your secret, Blossom… You're evil, because he broke your heart."

Blossom seethed, "How dare you actually say that about me? And don't you dare bring him up? He may be my Dear Brother, but that bastard's heart was broken, because of YOU… and YOUR FUCKING BOYFRIEND! YOU DESERVE TO DIE, YOU HEARTLESS C(BEEP)!"

She opened the cell doors and grabbed Mugi by the arm, and slapped her in the face, extremely hard. She dropped to the ground, as Blossom started to stomp on Mugi's body. She roared, "YOU BOTHER ME WITH YOUR USELESS WHORE MOUTH, YOU FUCKING SKANK? I HATE YOU, YOU FUCKING RICH AS FUCK WHORE! I HATE YOU!"

Mugi was sobbing in pain, as Blossom was breathing heavily. She stopped abusing Mugi, as she replied, "If only you'd let me have him… this wouldn't be happening… at all…"

Mugi was weeping, as she was getting up. Blossom stomped her hand, as she screamed in pain. Blossom grabbed her hair and said, "You're coming with me, you useless skank!"

She was dragging Mugi away, as Mugi sobbed in pain and pleaded to her, "Let me go! If I hurt you, I'm sorry! Don't torture me, like earlier! Just… NO! GINTI! HELLLLLP! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! GINTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

The doors in the dungeon slammed shut, as Blossom carried Mugi to another room, as Dufort whispered, "I'm sorry, Tsumugi… I wish I could help you, but you're on your own. If I were to be free, you'd be free from this woman's revenge on you."

Who is this Evil Queen, and what is she planning on to do with Mugi?
