Back with the charas, Yuki and Yoru were currently having trouble restraining a rebellious Kusukusu. Obviously the tiny clown chara grew impatient when she did not get to see interaction between her master and enigmatic Tsukiyomi Ikuto, so when she found the right opportunity when Yuki turned her back to her, the hyper chara simply flew for it, but was immediately pursued by the two cat chara.

"Ugh! Where did she get all this strength-Nya!" Yoru yelled in frustration as he tried to pull Kusukusu by her left arm.

Yuki was currently pulling on Kusukusu's right arm, "Shut up and keep pulling-Nya!" She yelled at him, she then turned her complete attention to her elder sister. "Kusukusu, we must respect their privacy and let them be-Nya!"

Kusukusu, with all the strength and energy she could muster, manage to get closer and closer to where the two humans were. "But I want to see!"

"But we can't-Nya!" Yoru argued.

Then, for some reason, Kusukusu stopped struggling confusing the two. "Oh look they're done talking."

Yoru scoff, "Yeah right-Nya. You're just trying to trick us."

Yuki looked ahead and said, "Actually, she's telling the truth-Nya."

"Eh?"

True to the two female charas' words, the two humans were indeed done with their chat. They were standing there side by side, standing there as if they were waiting there for quite some time. Their cat ears and tails still lingered, but they don't seem to be reacting to with another.

Quickly, the three charas flew to their masters.

Yoru shyly asked, "Uh Ikuto-"

"It's time to go Yoru." Ikuto interrupted, not giving him a chance to finish. The tall teen immediately started walking away. Rima does not seem to be bothered to see him leave.

"Eh!? Ikuto-Nya!" Yoru called out to him, but his words only hit deaf ears as usual. Before he started leaving himself, he said his goodbyes to the three females. "I-I guess we'll be seeing each other soon-Nya"

"We will." Rima answered simply.

Yoru wanted to know more what she meant, but if he stick any longer he'll miss his master. So he left without saying another word. Once they were gone, their cat ears and tails disappeared.

Yuki was the first to say, "So how did it go?"

Rima delivered her answer with a smirk, "I won't bore you with the details, but I got a date."

Kusukusu was the one most surprised when the news was delivered while Yuki, on the other hand, was still calm and collected, but was still surprise none the less. In a way, she saw that coming.

"Way to go, Rima!" Kusukusu cheered as she magically conjured up some confetti and threw them into the air as a show of celebration.

"You two worked fast." Yuki commented with a grin.

Rima blushed a little and said, "It's not like that and the date is more like a test."

"A test?"

Rima looked at her charas and told the two the story.

Flashback

"A date?" Rima asked.

"Hai," Ikuto answered. "Summer is coming soon, so once your school is in vacation, I'll take you out on a date somewhere."

"I don't think we need to do that." Rima said as she pointed to their feline appearance, talking about their bond.

Ikuto just gave her a look, "Please understand, you and I are already in deep water when I accidently came close to you. If you're certain that you're fine to be near me, then you have no problem going on a date with me."

"What are you planning?" Rima gave him look telling him that it is not about the date.

"Just like what your chara told you, once our bond is complete, there is no turning back. I'm not going to let you make a mistake, so this date will be a test. It's your choice, not mine."

"I see," Yuki said once Rima was done with her story. "That seems to be a good idea."

"So where's the date?" Kusukusu asked curiously.

"He didn't tell me, he said he wanted to make it a surprise. He also said that you two can come with us."

"Eh?" Yuki was surprised, but did not show it. "Why?"

Rima just smiled and motioned a shush with her fingers, "A surprise he said."

Yuki was slightly frustrated with the secrecy, but did not show it. Kusukusu, on the other hand, hand no problem with it. "Yeah! I love surprises."

The white neko just shrugged, "I guess I can't pass up a chance to hear him play his violin. He will play, right?"

"I'll make sure to ask him." Rima told her with smile which Yuki returned with delight.

It was then time for Rima to return home. She gathered her plastic bag full of goodies, she was back on chara change mode with her cat ears and tail back on her. But before she could take a big leap towards to the direction of her home, her orange mobile phone started ringing.

"Eh? It's Amu-Chan." Rima read the caller ID as she answered, but before she could say the traditional 'Hello', the other line went first.

"Are you alright, Hinamori?"

"Yeah."

Then the rest of the call were loud screams as if someone was fighting someone or something before the call ended at the other line. Rima was surprised to hear what happened at the other end, but kept her calm composure.

"Kusukusu, did you ever find out what they were planning?" Rima asked her. She specifically asked her clown chara to eavesdrop on the remaining Guardians to get any information on their plans to see if she can finish an objective that the Guardians could not handle.

Kusukusu nodded as she remembered what she heard from her little covert mission, "Hai! I remember them talking about patrolling the school tonight."

Rima then put on a determined look as she turned to her other chara, "Yuki, lets show them what you're made of." She told her with a smirk.

Yuki matched her smirk with her owner and nodded. "You got it, Rima."

Rima then turned to her first Chara, "Kusukusu, Charanari"

Back at Seiyo Academy, things were not so good. Many kids filled the area, standing there like emotionless shells, unmoving and unresponsive. X-Eggs were everywhere, floating around to their hearts' contents. X-Eggs were laughing inside their eggs as they cherished at their victory. Their enemy, three of the remaining Guardians, were helplessly at their grasps as many of them were entangling them, restraining them to do much of anything.

"I can't take anymore." Yuya whined with a pout.

The X-Eggs continued to maliciously laugh in synch, but twitch moments later when they caught something within their sight. They saw danger. They immediately disperse from each other as if to avoid something, this did not went unnoticed by the captive Guardians.

"What's happening?" Amu wondered.

"They seem to be scared of something." Tadase theorized.

"Oohfff whhaat?" Ran managed to wheez out thanks to a couple of X-Eggs squeezing her.

Miki, who is currently transformed with her master, is the only one who saw what they were afraid of. "Amu-Chan, look! It's Rima-Chan!"

Amu heard her Chara's voice and true to her words, the ex-member of the Queen's Chair was indeed in the battle field against the X-Eggs as Clown Drop and has recently sent her special attack, Juggling Party.

Many X-Eggs were attempting to avoid the fatal attack at all cost. Thankfully for them, there were only about eight to ten of the flying bowling pins, so some were attempting to attack the defected Guardian from the back, but Rima saw and heard that coming.

"Tightrope Dancer!" She conjured up her binding rope, she expertly wrangled a couple of the dark eggs before throwing them against their fellow kin.

"Rima-Chan." Amu muttered when she saw her friend and impressed how Rima was fending off by herself. The others saw her also and were also impress. There was also something else to Rima's assault on the X-Eggs, she seems more passionate.

"She's... gotten strong." Tadase commented.

"Indeed..." Kiseki agreed with his owner, but did not show his admiration. Not did it matter though.

Yaya would be impressed as the other if it weren't for her whining. "Rima-Tan! Please get these meanie eggs away from Yaya!"

The Chara who were not character transformed with their respective owner agreed with her.

"Hhaai, phlease hheelp us." Ran wheeze out in plea.

"Some help would be appreciated." Eru also pleaded. Su would have also said something, but she was told afraid to speak. Pepe, thanks to her pacifier and the X-Eggs that were crushing her to death, couldn't plead for help.

Amu remembered the letter and realized that Rima wouldn't be able to fight this all on her own and there was no way she was freeing them. They need to get free, "Rima! You need to get us free!"

The ex-queen did not turn to her, but she still heard her words. "I'm no longer part of the Guardian." That was her answer, plain and simple. She continued her attacks to the X-Eggs that started to surround her.

"Rima." Amu said sadly, hurt.

"At least help us!" Yaya whined because they were ignored.

"Geez you sound annoying-Nya," Said a new voice that caught their attention. "No wonder Rima-Chan left you people-Nya."

"Huh?" Was everyone's word.

"Who said-?" Eru questioned, but was cut off when she was suddenly free from the grasps of the X-Eggs. Someone kicked and swiped them away.

"That would be me."

The angel Chara turned to the source of the voice and saw another Chara with feline characteristics, so did the others, but the Chara owners did not get a good view of the Neko Chara.

"C~an y~ou he~lp, ple~ase?" Ran pleaded with as much air as she can squeeze out from her lungs.

"Please~desu."

Yuki was about to, but dodge a couple of them before doing so. She swiped all of the X-Eggs, with her claws, that were squeezing the athletic chara before also freeing the chef Chara along with the Chara toddler.

"Freedom!" Ran cheered with her pompoms. Pepe cheered along with her

"Thank you very much~desu." Su happily told her gratitude to her savior right in front of her. Yuki just gave her a small smile.

"I never seen you before," Stated Eru and noticed something about her that reminded her of someone she knew, but did not mention it. "Who are you?"

Before Yuki could answer her question, some of the X-Eggs that were binding the three Guardians left their positions and flew towards the free Charas, intending to immobilize the little characters.

"Ask questions later-Nya." Yuki told her as she dodged some X-Eggs from ramming into her. The others couldn't agree more as they quickly avoided them

It was smart of the evil dark eggs to stop any form of help, but many of them leaving the snares that kept the Guardians from resisting was a big mistake. Amulet Spade and Platinum Royal had enough strength to break out of their weakened grasps.

Although Yaya was still trapped.

Tadase fixed that problem, he pointed his golden staff at her and screamed, "Holy Crown!"

The King of the Guardian sent his old attack as a away to ward off the X-Eggs, so the attack did not have any intentions to hit any of them because he did not want to hit a friend, but the X-Eggs did not know that and fled away in fear of being hit. It worked.

Yukari saw that they were free and while the captive Guardians were being freed from her trap, Rima took down a good number of X-Eggs without breaking them. She did not like where this was going and the former member of the Queen's Chair has not even teamed up with her new Chara.

"Good thing I came prepared." She turned to the passenger seat, where it held a brown box full of more X-Eggs

Utau, knowing the plan, held up her mike close to her mouth and spoke, "Attack."

Yukari pressed a button and the window of the passenger seat opened. On cue, the seemingly unconscious X-Eggs started moving and quickly they flew out the window in a frenzy.

Yuki immediately heard more enemy X-eggs coming thanks to her acute sense of hearing. Wasting no time, she flew her way around the scattering X-Eggs to where her owner was. Thanks to her quick thinking, she made it on time before any of the arriving X-Eggs can separate her from her owner.

Before the white Neko reached Rima, she caught the attention of the remaining Guardians.

"Whose Chara is that?" Yaya said curiously as she hid behind Amu.

"Wait, could she be ...?"

While the female Guardians were mostly curious about the Chara they have never met before, Tadase seems to be eyeing Yuki with some suspicions. Kiseki had the same thoughts.

"Rima!" Yuki called out, gaining her attention, as she pointed to the recently arrived X-Eggs. The dark eggs did not waste any second on attacking. Some immediately went after who were close while others attacked who seemed easy-pickings. The number of them coming was countless. The Character Transformed Guardian immediately went on the defensive.

"Holy Crown!" Tadase yelled as he used his special to attack to conjure up a golden barrier of light. His quick action was a success, his royal comrades were safe and unharmed. He couldn't allow themselves to be trapped like that again.

Unfortunately for Rima, all of the X-Eggs were not after the remaining Guardians.

"Rima!" Yuki called out as her owner tried her best to ward off as much as she could.

The white Neko finally got to where Rima was when Rima was able to buy sometime to talk with her second chara for a moment. Yuki told this to her directly in the eye. "You wouldn't be able handle them all with Kusukusu! Not with this many X-Eggs!"

Rima does not want to admit it, but Yuki is right. She moved her full focus from Yuki to some X-Eggs that quickly coming to them with the intent of harming them. She was about send another onslaught of her Juggling Party, but stopped by her new Chara.

"Drop your transformation with Kusukusu-Nya." Yuki said, surprising her. "Please trust me on this-Nya."

Rima had some doubts on dropping her transformation. The way she sees this battlefield, being in Chara Transformation seem to be the best plan towards to victory, but she trust Yuki.

"OK." She agreed. "Kusukusu."

"Hai!" The clown chara obeyed and dropped the charanari, leaving Rima back in her normal clothes. Kusukusu floated to her younger sister and slapped her back playfully. "Your turn, sis!"

Yuki nodded and returned the determined smile. She turned to Rima, who also nodded showing that she was ready.

"Nya, Mew, Meow!"

The remaining Guardians were surprised when they saw their former comrade character changed with the mystery Neko Chara, answering their questions on the new Chara. Immediately after Rima sported the cat ears and tail, she quickly and gracefully leaped into the air, high enough to obscure the moon to every individual on school grounds and dodging all of the coming X-Eggs. Kusukusu and Yuki were also safe, the two Chara sisters quickly grabbed onto Rima before she made that big leap. The Guardians were again surprised when they witness Rima's increased flexibility, quick reaction, and of course agility.

"Sugoi!" Ran cheered with pompoms, clearly impressed.

"Rima." Amu thought with some sadness. "When did you get a new Chara and why did you not trust us to tell us?"

"Nice reaction," Yukari said her comment with a sly smile. "but will it be enough? Utau, you know what to do."

"Attack her. Attack the dethroned queen." Utau ordered through her mike. Seeing those cat ears and tails on the said queen seem to have stroke the famous singer the wrong way.

The X-Eggs heard their orders, many quickly diverted their attentions from the Guardians to the lone Chara user. Tadase put down the shield when he noticed their small, but very dangerous enemies started to leave them.

"Why are they stopping?" Yaya asked from behind Amu.

The Chara user of the Joker's Chair saw that the X-Eggs' new target was...

"Rima!" The strawberry screamed when she saw that her friend was being surrounded in all direction.

Tadase dropped his suspicions on his old comrade and also voiced his concern, "Watch out!"

Their concerns weren't needed as the tiny blonde was able to dodge every attacking and able X-Eggs. She didn't even look tired after dodging many attacks after attacks and shows no signs of slowing down. Their tricks were also useless against her when they tried to try to lure her into a trap, but thanks to her heightened senses, Rima saw through their plan and was able to escape danger unharmed.

However, they seem to have anticipated that, so a couple of them were waiting and ready to attack her from all directions. She wasn't able to sense that in time.

"Look out!" The reaming Guardians shouted with terrified looks.
