Author's Note: I want to leave everyone is suspense for the next coming chapters until this story ends. After all, everyone wants this story to be longer. Am I right? So I hope I am doing that, please enjoy.

"Uncle, what is that thing?" Yamato questioned as he looked out the device his uncle was holding. It looked complicated. There was no real way to describe it. It looked like everything imaginable was hooked to the thing. Like every tool hooked onto a big pole.

"I used this for my animal sculptures. I am sure it can get us out of here." Mario tells Yamato and Amu. Going to the door as he tested all the tools on the door.

"His very certain of himself, isn't he." Amu remarks, holding one of her hands to her cheek, as she watches him.

"As long as it can get us out of here, I don't care. Sera and the others are in danger. . ."

"Got it!" Mario pushed the doors open. Before Yamato could even finish the sentence.

"That was fast! Why couldn't he done that sooner?" Amu questioned.

"Let's get out of here!" Yamato tells her as she follows him outside.

Yamato goes over to the horse, leaping onto the saddle as he grabbed the reins. Wanting to leave as quickly as possible.

"Let's go! . . ." Yamato begins to stay as he prepared to leave. Amu was still trying to get out the door.

"Yamato, wait for me! You can't stop them alone!" Amu tells him as she sits behind him on the horse.

"Uncle, you stay here." Yamato tells him. Naturally being concerned for his health. He didn't want to worry about him. When he had to save Sera and his friends.

"Tell this Sera girl how you feel about her. Don't blow this chance." Mario tells him. "She must be special if you love her." That fact his nephew had found a girl that he loved. He wanted them to be together. If anything happened to her, he would be heartbroken. It would be hard for him to live with that pain.

"He won't. I will make sure of it." Amu tells him. She put her head down, looking worried. "I wonder if Tusk is worried about me." She worries to herself. Amu was going to see him again. He's going to be incredible angry at her.

"We'll be back! I promise." Yamato tells him. As he thought to himself. "All of us."

Meanwhile at the Castle.

"All right! We need to grab something heavy to break down the door." Minako orders.

"The tree! We cut it down an ram it until the bursts open."

"Excellent idea!"

"Then we take what's ours."

The angry mob quickly started to cut down a nearby tree as Minako and Nami just watch them slowly cut off the branches.

"And I will kill that beast girl." Minako finishes, she continued to laugh evilly. "And Yamato and I can finally be together."

"You too are so perfect for each other." Nami agrees. "I don't understand what he sees in this monster in the castle."

"Exactly. We're so opposite. I am beautiful, she isn't. I am popular, she isn't. I just don't understand it. I am the only one entitled to have Yamato. This floozy of a girl with pay for trying to seduce him and put him in some sort of trance." Minako continues to ponder as she watches her angry mob keep slamming on the door with a tree trunk. Logically someone so shallow and selfish like her doesn't understand what Yamato sees in Sera. She believes that she was the only person solely entitled to have him. Not understanding that loves Sera because of her personality not her appearance.

Tusk, Leo, Misao and Larri continued their conversation inside the castle. They could hear the loud noise outside.

"Could it be? Is Yamato back?" They go over to the window, only to see that it was Minako and the angry mob at the first entrance.

"It's an angry mob."

"I told you something like this would happen."

"Look, they have the mirror." Tusk takes notice, it was in Minako's right hand. As she was ordering them to keep going. Not to stop until they got that door opened.

"We're doomed. We're all going to die." Misao wept as he hugged his knees, rocking back and forth while crying hysterically. "They got Yamato and Amu, now they're going to get us."

"Amu!" Tusk whispered worriedly. He didn't know what they could have done to her. Would he ever see her again after this was over?

"Shut up, Misao!" Leo tells him. "We need to prepare everyone. And quickly." He grabs Misao by the back of the collar of his shirt. "Go and tell the Princess. She needs to hide."

"Yes, right away." Tusk agreed as he hurried to the upper part of the castle.

"Come on Larri, let's get ready." Larri nods his head in understanding as Leo dragged Misao from behind him.

At the upper part of the castle.

"Princess . . ." Tusk addresses Sera, bowing in respect before doing so.

"Please, leave me in peace." Sera sadly mentioned. Waving him away.

"But, my lady. The castle is under attack. You need to stay hidden."

Sera looked at the wilting rose there were only two petals remaining. She touched the case with her hands. There wasn't much time left, Yamato wasn't going to come. The curse wasn't going to be lifted. All was hopeless. Not only was everyone under the curse, all her friends going to remain this way forever. She had a chance to break it and she failed. All because she had for the first time fallen in love, and she wanted him to be happy. She has lost the person that was important to her.

"It doesn't matter anyone. Just let them come." Sera tells him, closing her eyes in sadness. Tusk was surprised with the response. Sera wanted to die because he couldn't live without Yamato in her life? Perhaps she believed that he didn't love her after all. She was too heartbroken to even care.

Meanwhile Outside the Castle

"Just a bit more."Minako orders. Watching them as if victory was already in her hands.

All of the sudden the door opened. They put down the tree stump as they prepare themselves for whatever was inside. Little did they know it was not something they would expect.

Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I apologize for being short. I just want to make this story longer. It really leaves you in suspense doesn't it. I mean it ends with the doors to the castle being forced open. We all hate Minako, after all she's the villainous of the story. We're all looking forward. Yamato and Amu are free, now the question is, can they make it back to the castle in time. Will Yamato and Sera, Tusk and Amu both unite? Will seeing Yamato break Sera out of her depressive state before it's too late? Please let me know what you guys think. Can't wait to read your reviews. Thanks.
