The Revenge of Dark Red Chapter 4:
Preparations
Now knowing that Dark Red was out for revenge, Kisshu and the others began training. Light Pink and Emiko locked themselves up in a room that looked like a science lab and began work on the earplugs. They were in there for hours, and only came out for meals. Everyone else was doing battle training.
Ayame was training with Dire Bite, like usual. They were practicing with their weapons. Ayame had out her Phoenix Swords, and Dire Bite had out his twin daggers. Ayame was winning for a change, which made her happy.
Kisshu was training with Ichigo, who was dodging his attacks but not getting any of her own in.
Kenji had transformed into the Green Knight, and was practicing with Mint. She was shooting arrows at him to teach him how to block, and she was now having her attacks sent back at her.
Zakuro was training on her own, to improve the accuracy of her light whip.
Pai and Lettuce were training together, and seemed to be pretty evenly matched.
Pudding was training with Taruto, and teaching him gymnastics at the same time.
Suihou and Akai were training Hanna. To everyone's surprise, Hanna now had a weapon. That wasn't one of the powers Emiko had given her, and everyone was puzzled, but they decided to let it go. Hanna's weapon was similar to Akai's, which was a dagger that could grow and stretch depending on what Akai needed. Hanna's dagger was able to grow and stretch, but she could also use it like Zakuro's whip, only it was much sharper. Suihou had a bow and arrow weapon, and she normally trained with Mint, but she was letting Mint help Kenji, so she was helping with Hanna's weapons training. They had discovered Hanna's weapon was called the Tanken Muchi, or Dagger Whip. Hanna was getting good at using her weapon, and didn't cut herself too often.
About a week after the announcement from Dark Red, Emiko and Light Pink came out of their workroom looking exhausted, and said, "The earplugs are done, but we need to see if they fit."
So everyone came to the workroom, and saw many different sizes and shapes of earplugs. The biggest ones were for Ichigo and Zakuro because of their ear size when they were in Mew Form. Pudding got smaller ones because her ears were smaller. Mint, Hanna and Lettuce got human-sized ones, because their ears didn't change. There were also medium-sized earplugs for all the Cyniclons. Emiko had labeled the earplugs for everyone, so they knew which ones to take. Everyone tried on their pair. Luckily, they all fit fine.
After everyone had taken the earplugs back out, Kisshu said, "These are great. You both should go get some rest, you look exhausted."
Light Pink and Emiko simply nodded, and went back to their rooms to sleep.
