Author's Notes: Well, this is chapter 12 I think…
Natsume: I think you should drink Enervon Prime for you to lose memory gap.
Me: Shut up. I'm not old you know. Plus, it's only for ADULTS as in OLD people.
Natsume: Yeah and OLD people has memory gap. Since you tend to forget things, you should drink that.
Me: Shut it up kitty.
Natsume: Whatever. Just make sure you won't forget anything anymore, or else, you'll meet the swamp of lava.
Me: As if. There is always MIKAN you know. She can cancel anything out. Plus, she will just continue to ignore you if you act like that.

Chapter 8
The Rescue
Natsume's POV
It's been four unlucky and unfortunate days since I traveled from the Emerald castle. First I met the snake that teases me every damn moment. Then, the gay tigers who makes my ears bleed to death with their high pitched voice. Then, that Tagore guy who endlessly tries to flirt with me. At least the Toad doesn't really bothers me so much.
"Oh darn it!!! It's been 4 days of long journey. We should be close…by now…" I stopped.
What was that? A castle from nowhere?
"That's the castle of the sorceress." The cyber tiger said.
Then, I remembered what Mikan said.
-flashback-
"Alright then. The Forbidden Mountain is the mountain that appears only when two needles float together in the sky, as what I've said before. It is where the innocent people suffer while the sinful ones reigned. The king was so good and the Sorceress despises him so much that's why she cursed him." She replied.
"Despite of the king being so good, she gave him another chance. So that means there is a part of her where evil doesn't rules. She just cursed him instead of killing him." He said.
"Yeah that's right. But now, the evil inside her awakens and ruled over the good side. Now she's a total freak." She replied, nonchalantly.
"I know, but, I don't believe that anyone is born evil." he said.
"Well then, let's sleep now and be ready for tomorrow." She replied.
-end of flashback-
"Yeah, the castle is always appearing every 12 o'clock at anytime of the day. What time is it? Oh no, it's 12 o'clock. We must hurry before it disappears." I panicked.
"Calm down Prince." The snake muttered, annoyingly.
"Let's get inside or else we'll miss the great chance." I uttered.
Then I wear the cloak of invisibility. "Come on you guys let's go." I said while gesturing them to follow.
It took us 2 days to go to the heart of the mountain where MikanTsubasa and the snake were held in.
"Hey guys, let's throw a little surprise to them tomorrow. Here's what we are going to do." I explained to them.
End of Natsume's POV
The next day…
Normal POV
"To protect the world from demolition." The raven haired boy said.
"We must gather up our courage and determination." The cyber tiger added with his girly voice.
"I don't think this is such a good idea." The snake thought.
"To destroy the evil by the power of Love."Natsume said again while raising his right index finger.
"To protect the humanity with the stars above." The snakes said.
"Natsume!"Natsume said.
"Cyber tiger." The cyber tiger said.
"And Snakes." The snakes said.
"We are the Fighters of the Light!" they said in unison.
"You force of evil!" the cyber tiger said
"Return to the darkness you belong!" the snakes said.
"If not…" the cyber tiger said.
"Prepare to fight us!" Natsume ended.
"Oh there you are my prince you've come to save your princess after all. What a nice entrance." She said sarcastically.
"Of course I am." The raven haired boy replied.
"Oh you got company, and it's the whole village! How interesting!" she said with sparkling eyes.
"What do you mean the whole village?" he asked, oblivious to what is going on.
"We'll explain to you later." The cyber tiger replied.
"Ok. Where is Mikan?!!" he shouted.
"I'm right here Natsume. I gotta tell you something." The auburn eyed brunette said.
"Oh no I'll never let you talk with her. Take this a…" The sorceress said.
"Don't move! If you lay a finger on him, you're a dead hag!!!" she interrupted.
Then the witch halted attacking Natsume
"If only this vile, little princess got no powers, I could've killed this foolish prince!" she thought.
"Come on Natsume, go now, we'll destruct this hag." the snakes said.
"Right, thanks a lot you guys." He said. And off he goes to Mikan
"Natsume, you gotta save me, this snake and Tsubasa." She said while panting heavily.
"Ok." He replied flatly.
"You must use your bow and arrow to make the sorceress freeze then you must use your sword to break the Orb of the Death Samurai there…" she said while pointing to the crimson orb.
Then, she collapsed.
"Mikan drink this come on." He cried, while panicking. He scooped her little form then he made her drink the Balsam.
"I'm feeling good now. The burning feeling inside my chest is gone. Thanks…" she said and smiled at him. He blushes a good shade of red.
"What's wrong? Why are you blushing?" she asked as a smirk formed into her lips.
"I'm not blushing! Oh how could you tease a person in a time like this? You're impossible!" he protested.
"…"
"How did you know that the arrow I'm holding can freeze her?" he asked her curiously.
"Because, they are made by my villagers." She replied as-a-matter-of-factly.
"Villagers?" he asked again.
"We'll explain to you later. Ok now Natsume go!" she said, more like commanded.
"Right I'll do it!" he replied.
Just then, his companions almost gave up…
"Come on guys, we must not let Natsume down! We must distract her. He's the only one who can save us." The cyber tiger said, with his high pitched tone.
"We know and we have a strong faith in him." The rattle snakes said.
"Faith?Trust? What are you talking about you filthy creatures!!!" the sorceress groaned.
"We trust him and we would fight 'til the end!!! We know he can save us. We have faith in him. He'll never let us down!!!" they cried in unison.
"Anyway, your little prince won't be able to find out what are the phrases found on that bars over there to deactivate the barrier covering my life force. Hahaha!" she mocked at them while pointing to her so-called life force which is the Orb of the Death Samurai.
"What ever. Just sleep for a while." Natsume butted in while firing his arrow at her.
The arrow hit her squarely on her forehead. Then, immediately, she froze.
Natsume's POV
Ok so now that wicked sorceress told me that I cannot read it. Well, let's see for ourselves.
I approach the Orb of the Death Samurai and notice some bars there. I wore my x-ray glasses to read the "hidden" message printed on it. I was surprise to see many strange writing carved on it.
After 15 minutes of thinking…
Hey, I think this letters look familiar. I knew I saw this somewhere before.
After reminiscing the past…
"I got it! The first bar says 'Quarrels never could last long, if on one side were all the wrong.'" I said. Then, the first bar glowed and the letters appeared.
"The second bar says, 'When there is smoke, there is fire.'" I read the bar and the same as the first one, it glowed and the letters appeared.
"The third bar says 'Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are.'." I uttered and the same thing happened.
"The fourth is 'Painted flowers have no scent'. "I said.
"And the fifth is 'Faint heart never won fair lady.' And that's the Pentagon Phrases." I said happily and triumphantly.
"Great now you've completed the phrases, it's time for you to break the orb. Now go!!!" the auburn eyed girl shouted.
"Right, here it comes…Hyyyaaahhh!!!" I shouted while raising my sword. The orb broke into millions of pieces. However, there is an after shock. The pieces flew in every direction and I used the shield to protect me from the broken fragments. After 10 seconds or so, it just disappeared into thin air.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the sorceress shouted as the ice breaks.
"You'll pay! The battle is not damned over yet!" she cursed us as she disintegrates.
After the tragic moment of the disintegration of the sorceress…
"You idiot! Do you have any idea what you chanted???" Mikan shouted at me.
"Well, no. We saw that phrase in a paper when we were traveling here. And we decided to change the lines so it wouldn't be too obvious that we imitated it." I explained.
"Oh, really? You're such an idiot!!!" She shouted as she slapped her forehead. She looks so cute when she does that. Oh wait, what am I thinking?!
"Jeez! I think you're the loudest person I've ever met in this freaking planet." I replied emphasizing the word 'loudest'.
"What's this? NatsumeHyuuga giving me a compliment?"Mikan asked.
"Well…" I stuttered. Darn it! How could this little girl made me feel nervous all of the sudden?
"Whatever." She said while flapping her hair gently.
End of Natsume's POV
Normal POV
Well, after a minute of the eerie silence over them…Natsume looked at her then blushed again. This time she noticed the redness of his face.
"So, you're beginning to have a crush on me then huh?" she asked with a playful smirk on her face.
"Of course not!!!" he snapped back in reality while covering his ruby orbs with his raven-colored hair.
Then, something caught Mikan's auburn eyes. "A battle has a temporary ending and a final ending." She said and turned her head to Natsume. Unbeknownst to her, the writings disappeared.
"What's the matter Mikan?" Natsume asked.
"Look, there are some writings in here." She replied.
"Where is it? I can't see a thing." The crimson eyed boy said.
"But it's just here a little while." She replied while pointing at the exact spot where she had read the writings.
"It might be just your apparition." He answered.
"Maybe you're right." She replied. Just then, Natsume fainted.
"He must be tired because of his journey." The dark blue eyed boy guessed.
"You're right." Mikan replied.
"Well, let's get him to our castle ok." A manly voice butted in.
"You're right Diego, let's get him back." Mikan replied. Just then, they disappeared.
