"Okay, I'll take Hanon to Kiri this morning, and you'll take Moiyu and Jay far from Kiri's while I'm doing that." Lexia recapped as she and Aryl went over the days plans the morning after the two girls had met the aquamarine idol princess.

"Right." Aryl continued, "And once Hanon is done questioning Kiri, I'll bring Caren over and we'll discuss plans of what to do and what's going on."

"Perfect." Lexia grinned. "But we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

"I know, I know." Aryl sighed, "It would be a lot easier if we could just stay here."

Lexia grinned, "Well, let's get going. You're taking the car down to Kiri's, right?"

Aryl nodded. "Give me ten minutes to get Moiyu and Jay away, and then bring Hanon down." With that, she grabbed her jacket, and the car keys and left the room.

Kiri wanted to punch something. She really did. Her boyfriend was MIA, leaving messages on the answering machine to say he was alright, but busy and wasn't coming home that night, she had an idol princess questioning her about various things that she wished would disappear, and LEXIA WAS DOING NOTHING TO STOP IT!

No, Lexia was giggling at Kiri's obvious discomfort, which upset the other warrior. Suddenly Kiri turned her head to the window, removing her burning gaze from Lexia.

"You feel that?" Kiri asked Lexia, who shook her head.

"No." Lexia said, "What is it?"

Kiri hurried to the window, and looked outside. "Damn it all!" she shouted, "Water demons!"

Hanon ran to the window as well. "I'll transform." She said, throwing a hand into the air and shouting "Aquamarine Pearl Voice!"

Lexia looked out the other window, seeing the water demon. Hanon hurried out of the apartment and Kiri turned to Lexia.

"She can't beat her." Kiri said, "Not without our help."

"I know." Lexia said, "Let's go."

XXXX

Aryl loved the beach. She had taken Moiyu and Jay to the beach to wait for Hanon to finish questioning Kiri, and the three were sitting on the warm sand, just waiting. It was peaceful, and Aryl loved it. She turned to tan on her back when suddenly her cell phone rang.

"Well there goes the peace." Aryl muttered, grabbing the phone, "'Lo?"

"A- it's me." Lexia's voice filtered through the other side, "We need you back here. Water demons."

"On my way." Aryl said, hanging up. "You two stay put." She said to Moiyu and Jay, "Don't attract attention and don't move. I'll be back." With that, she ran for the car.

XXXX

Kiri flew over to Hanon, who was struggling.

"Hanon, get out of the way. Your singing won't beat this one." Kiri said.

Hanon nodded and landed on the ground, moving out of the way of the battle. Kiri slashed her sword through the air, forming an energy shot which hit the water demon, who Kiri had finally recognized as Dae, head on. Dae was one of the more vicious water demons, and Kiri had dealt with her in the past. She was dedicated to Gaito, and that ALWAYS caused more problems than it should have.

"Sapphire club!" Lexia shouted, knocking Dae in the head.

"How many times do I have to tell you…!" Kiri started, but Lexia cut her off.

"Fight now, yell at me later!" Lexia said, diving into the battle again.

Kiri sighed, but sent off another energy shot.

"Hey!" Aryl shouted, jumping up and kicking Dae in the back before she realized that Aryl had even arrived, "You don't look like you need help!" she said.

"Oh, you will need help." Dae muttered, before starting a spell.

"Damn!" Kiri shouted, "Lexia stop her!"

Lexia dove towards Dae, but a barrier sent her flying into the wall of Kiri's apartment.

"Lexia!" Aryl shouted.

Dae finished her spell and sent it flying at Aryl who shouted in pain.

"Aryl!" Kiri and Lexia shouted. Kiri charged for Dae, pulling herself into full power, although she knew that she'd be dead tired once this was over.

"Diamond Shower!" Kiri shouted, sending off a magic attack. The magic attack hit Dae head on and sent her flying back into the water. She didn't reemerge.

Lexia flew over to her friend, "Aryl, are you okay?" The spell had vanished once Dae was gone, but Aryl was having trouble staying airborne.

"I don't know." Aryl said.

Kiri flew over, "Come on, let's head inside." She said. Lexia nodded, helping Aryl over to the balcony, where she proceeded to glow in a light purple light and collapse as she transformed back to human.

Lexia picked up her friend and laid her on the couch, happy that Aryl had never weighed too much. Kiri and Lexia transformed back to human as well, and Kiri popped a few painkillers in her mouth to help with the intense headache she had from using her full power without her squad members.

Hanon hurried in. "Are you alright?" she asked.

"We're fine Hanon." Lexia said, "Why don't you go back to the hotel for now. I'll be back later, and I'll answer any more questions you might have."

Hanon nodded, and left.

"I'll go pick up Jay and Moiyu. Do you know where Aryl left them?" Kiri asked Lexia.

Lexia shook her head, "No idea."

Kiri sighed, "Well, if I get lost, expect a phone call."

"Will do." Lexia said, "I'll call you if Aryl wakes up."

Kiri left and Lexia turned on the radio. The smooth voice of one of the newer popular popstars, Rayza Dragon, leaked out of the speakers.

"You touch my hand//These colors come alive//In your heart and in your mind//I cross the borders of time//Leaving today behind to be with you again."

Lexia hummed along with the song, actually enjoying it, which was strange for Lexia, because she didn't usually like this type of music. There was something about this Rayza girl's voice that seemed to grab out at her.

Kiri drove past the beach, noticing Moiyu and Jay asleep in each other's arms on the sand.

She smiled at the cute scene and debated breaking it up. She knew she had to- she had to get the water demons back to her apartment before Caren showed up. Sighing, she shut off her car and got out, hurrying down to the beach.

"Yo, lovebirds!" Kiri called out, waking up Moiyu and Jay, who immediately pulled away from each other, and looked away blushing. "Come on, we're heading back to the apartment."

"Where's Aryl?" Moiyu asked, as she brushed sand off of her clothes.

"She got hurt, and she's unconscious right now. Now, come on, into the car."

XXXX

Aryl woke up a few minutes later with a groan. "Owwww." She muttered.

Lexia hurried over to the couch, "You okay, A?" she asked, "You got hit pretty hard with that spell."

"Yeah, aside from a massive headache, I'm fine." Aryl said, sitting up slowly. The door opened and Kiri, Moiyu and Jay walked in.

"Oh, hey. She's up." Kiri smiled at the girl.

"Gimme painkillers." Aryl said.

"Bossy, bossy." Kiri sighed, heading into the kitchen to grab the bottle.

I would usually make this longer, but I wanted to end it there. The talk with Caren is in the next chapter. Sorry this one's so short!!

Okay, some info for my wonderful readers… what haven't I talked about yet?

Oh! The weapons! I can talk about those. Instead of a microphone, the girls' stones turn into a weapon, which they can either hit their opponent with (Lexia), shoot (Aryl) or make energy slashes with (Kiri). Obviously the other weapons do other things, but I don't want to give anything away.

Aryl's gun was originally supposed to be a crossbow, but I decided that since they live in the 21st century that there should be at least one modern weapon.

I don't own the lyrics Rayza Dragon sang up there. They're from the song "Say My Name" by Within Temptation. It's a good song. Everyone should look it up. You can find it on youtube.

That's it for me for now. Review please! Reviews make me happy. If you want a specific question answered, I will answer it, most of the time. Still accepting Madison theories. And if you have any suggestions for info I can put down here in my note space, please tell me!
