Chapter Seven: Ikuto, DON'T!
Before Amu could react, Ikuto was knocking her out of the way. He fell to the ground, paralyzed. "Oi! Pay attention, Amu!" he called to her.
Amu scowled but decided she would check on him later. "You can't force people to listen to you or even do what you want! People have free will!" she said to the boy.
She had an image of the boy holding his head in his hands saying, "I just want them to stop picking on me!"
Amu's scowl remained. "So a few guys picked on you. That doesn't mean you have to take it out on everyone else!" She then smiled. "Just try to be yourself and don't let them bother you."
An x appeared on the boy's forehead. Amu took her chance. "Negative heart: lock on!" she cried as she pointed. "Open Heart!"
The boy's Heart's Egg was cleansed. Amu was about to go to the boy and make sure he was okay when she heard the familiar sound of the Embryo. She turned just as Tadase called, "It's here!"
"Let's get it, Amu-chan!" Ran exclaimed. Amu nodded and jumped. She used her "skates" to follow the Embryo. She was so focused that she didn't notice the shouts from the ground. 'I need more speed,' she thought.
"Amu!" Dia cried.
Amu nodded and transformed into Amulet Diamond. She looked up to see the Embryo, slightly out of reach. "Let's catch it this time, Dia!" Amu reached up for it and grabbed it. But something was wrong. She heard gunshots.
"Amu-chan, watch out!" Ran, Miki, and Su proclaimed.
Amu looked behind her. A man in a suit had a gun pointed straight at her. He'd pulled the trigger. Amu felt frozen to the spot. Just then, Ikuto jumped in front of her, character transformed with Yoru. The bullet hit him. Amu watched, horrified, as Ikuto fell blood seeping through his clothes. And then she screamed, "Nooooo! Ikuto!" She tried to follow him but was stopped as she was surrounded in a bright pink light. The last image she had of Ikuto was Yoru's egg flying out of him and shattering into a million pieces.
