Chapter 2 Teleportation Door
Chap 1 summary: Yuka locked up the other emperors and emperoress in an underground cell. Shiki and Tsubasa are trying to save the power of the amulets and seeking help from another world. While finding the teleportation door, Yuka and Persona showed up to stop them…
Dark Castle, The Forbidden Room
Shiki POV
Could that be the door?
Shiki stared closely at the edges of the fireplace.
"Oh, so you think it is there, don't you? How about the mirror over there?" said Yuka.
Shiki looked across the room to the mirror pointed by Yuka. To his surprise, they were a few sparks around the side of the mirror too. In a few seconds, the whole room was filled with millions of sparks. Where did the sparks came from? Shiki looked confusedly at Yuka.
"You might not notice but in a hurry I think you dropped something from your bag…"
Yuka smiled and hold out a piece of broken metal. NO…how did she get the light amulet? It must be the amulet that created the sparks!
Shiki forced himself to think harder. There must be a way to find that door…
"What a waste of time, Yuka. Can't we just knock him down straight away…" said Persona.
That's it…the power from the amulet will weaken due to the barrier…if I can just hold on longer…I will figure out the real location of the door!
"Figured out anything, Shiki? I'm tired of waiting…" Yuka tapped her fingers on the armrest.
Then, just as Shiki predicted, some of the sparks became dimmer. Only the sparks around the picture behind Yuka were still as bright as ever.
"Quick! It's the picture over there…" Shiki shouted.
Before Shiki could finish his sentence, Persona had knocked him unconscious. The bag Shiki was holding dropped and its contents scattered out on the floor.
"What? There are only stones?" said Persona surprised.
At the same time, Tsubasa dashed out from one of the antique cupboard and headed directly towards the picture on the wall. Yuka shot a few black daggers towards Tsubasa but he managed to dodge them with a little help of his wind powers. Just when Tsubasa reached the picture, Persona's evil claw grabbed his leg. Tsubasa struggled to pull away the claw but decided to teleport as fast as he can. So, in a split second, Tsubasa and the claw disappeared from sight.
Yuka stood up and frown, but seemed not so disappointed.
"Oh well…we lost him…"

Elementary class B
The class was as noisy as usual. Just then, an 11 year old girl came in smiling.
Mikan: Ohayo everyone.
Yuu: Ohayo Mikan-chan.
Mikan sat behind her best friend. The girl with short black hair in front was busy assembling some metal parts.
" Eh Hotaru, what are you inventing again?"
Hotaru handled her a small metal screen. Mikan examined it curiously and suddenly "Don't you dare to disturb me!!!" words appeared on the screen.
" Aww…come on. It looks interesting. Can I have a look?"
Hotaru sighed and turned around, showing a peace sign at Mikan.
" What does that mean?" asked Mikan.
" If you want me to tell you about my invention please pay 200 rabbits first…"
" HOTARU!!!"
Just then, Misaki sensei came in.
" Class, your teacher Narumi-sensei is currently out of the school grounds under the orders of the Elementary School Principal. So you all will have free periods the whole day today!"
The class shouted with joy, all except two boys at the back of the class, Natsume and Ruka, the busy Hotaru and a bad tempered girl sitting at a corner sulkily, Luna.

Unknown Room
"Hello? Sir? Are you ok?" A robot's voice rang throughout the room.
Tsubasa opened his eyes and saw a pink creature in front of him, supposedly the robot that was talking. He tried to sit up but his back hurts.
Takahashi-san held up its hand and showed him a black claw that was starting to disappear.
"This was holding onto your leg so I removed it… Who are you?"
Tsubasa surveyed his surroundings through the corner of his eyes. It seems to be a music room. And on one of the books lying near to him on the floor, he read the cover. "GAKUEN ALICE ELEMENTARY MUSIC BOOK 4". Tsubasa quickly analysed all the data. He was in an academy, named Gakuen Alice and he is currenty in a music room, probably for the elementary students and facing a robot. Tsubasa quickly hold his head and stood up.
"Oh my, I must have fell asleep for my interview! I am looking for a job as a teacher. May I know where the office is?"
Takahashi-san looked at him curiously and was silent for a moment before continuing.
"It's true that this school needs substitute teachers for the moment. To go to the office, go downstairs turn right and exit this building. Then continue down the road until you see the building with the sign 'faculty section."
Tsubasa thanked the robot as it turned away and picked up the pail and a mop at the corner of the room. He smiled as he got away without the robot suspecting anything. He was lucky that he choosed the right thing to say, but pondered on what the robot said about the shortage of teachers in school.
After it had left, Tsubasa searched the floor and found the bag containing the amulets he was holding before he teleported. But to his surprise, the bag was empty and the amulets disappeared mysteriously…
"Oh dear…"

Elementary Cafeteria
"Mikan, did you hear that the elementary branch will be holding a party to celebrate the end of this semester?"Anna and Nonoko sat down beside Mikan.
"Really, I didn't know anything about it…" said Mikan as she continued to eat her rice.
"Oh it's true. I heard that Misaki sensei was in charge of it." said Tobita at the next table.
" Yay, I love parties! One of these days I should go down to the central town to buy a nice dress. Will you come, Mikan?" asked Nonoko.
"Oh yes, and maybe Hotaru too. Eh, did anyone saw Hotaru?"
"No, she must be in her research lab again."
" Never mind. I'll ask her later," smiled Mikan.

Hotaru Research Lab
Hotaru was alone in the lab as everyone was at the cafeteria. She was assembling the last metal part to her invention. Suddenly, she felt uncomfortable and something mysteriously appeared in her hand.
Hotaru opened her hand slowly and a there was a sudden burst of fire from her palm. She threw the object on the table. Ared-coloured object was revealed after the flames extinguished.
"What's this?" Hotaru started at the object for a long time…
