Chapter 20: We want Amu-chan back

Part 2: Death Cross returns

Tadase POV

I woke up the next day, thinking Amu-chan getting captured by Easter was all a dream. I looked to my right and Kiseki and Miki-chan were asleep. Wait Miki-chan!? So it wasn't a dream. Amu-chan really is in Easter. "What the hell is going on?" I asked.

"Ohayo Tadase." said Kiseki. I guess he woke up. I noticed that Miki had his cape wrapped around her. How cute. "What should we do?" asked Kiseki. "About Easter."

"I don't know." I said. I got dressed and went downstairs while Kiseki was waking up Miki-chan. Soon, we left and met up with the others at the park. "Miki!" yelled Ran-chan, Su-chan, and Dia-chan.

"I'm so glad you guys are ok." said Miki-chan.

"You found her on the streets too?" asked Souma-kun.

"Yea." I said.

"Didn't we free her from Easter?" asked Mashiro-san.

"I don't think so." said Fujisaki-kun. "Why would they want her to collect X eggs anyway?"

"It's so weird." said Rhythm.

"I just wanna see Amu-chan again." said Ran-chan.

"Us too." said Dia-chan. "I just know that Amu-chan is losing her radiance."

"You can tell where she is?" asked Yuiki-san.

"No." said Dia-chan. "I can just feel her radiance."

"She does represent Amu-chan's radiance after all." said Su-chan.

"So how are we gonna find her?" asked Mashiro-san.

"I got it." said Souma-kun holding up five concert tickets. "Utau's having a concert tonight."

"Why did you accept them?" asked Yuiki-san.

"In case we find Hinamori." said Souma-kun. "I only accepted them as long as you guys were invited."

"That explains alot." said Fujisaki-kun. Later, we went to the concert hall and went to Utau-chan's dressing room. "Hey guys." she said.

"Is it just me or is Utau-chan friendly?" whispered Yuiki-san.

"Oh I forgot." said Souma-kun. "She likes me as a friend now. Ever since she figured out her brother was captured by Easter, she's more worried about him more than me."

"And her brother is?" asked Mashiro-san.

"Don't you know?" I asked. "It's Tsukiyomi Ikuto." Everyone except Souma-kun looked dumbfounded. "WHAT!?"

"Yea." said Utau-chan. "And I'll help you find Amu since she was captured by Easter too."

"What she said." said Il-chan.

"We'll do our best to find Amu-chan." said El-chan. Soon, we left and the concert started. She was singing this song called Miekyuu butterfly and then this song called Glorious Sunshine. She was about to finish it until We heard a violin duet playing. The song stops and everyone's heart's eggs became X eggs. "What the hell is going on?" asked Utau-chan. We followed the X eggs and saw. . .

"Amu-chan!" yelled Amu-chan's Guardian Characters.

"Ikuto!" yelled Utau. Amu-chan and Ikuto were Death Cross and Death Rebel and they each had a violin, one glowing purple and one was glowing light purple. They both stopped playing and turned to us, then their violins turned to sabers. "Let's go." said Fujisaki-kun.

Yaya POV

I knew it. Amu-chi became that Death Cross lady and she was used to collect X eggs. "Careful." said Nagi. "You don't know what she'll do when she's under Easter's control." We nodded then started to attack.

Holy Crown

Golden Victory Shoot

Nightmare Lorelei

Go Go Little Duckies

Juggling Party

Blaze Shoot

Amu-chi and Ikuto dodged out attacks and charged towards us. "What do we do now?" I asked.

"We have to attack harder." said Utau-chan.

Nightmare Lorelei

"We're trying that." said Rima-tan.

"Let's try something else." said Kukai. "Yaya."

"You got it." I said giving a thumbs up.

Candy Victory

Amu-chi and Ikuto even dodged that. "I thought that would work!" yelled Kukai.

"Well it didn't dechu." said Pepe-chan.

"Our turn." said Amu-chi.

Dark Night Storm

Dark Rose Storm

Those attacks were so fast, I didn't have enough time to dodge them both. Ikuto's attack hit me and I was frozen on the floor. "I'll handle them." said Amu-chi. "Go collect X eggs." Ikuto nodded and went off somewhere. "Not so fast." said Utau-chan as she, Rima-tan, and Nagi went after him.

"Why did we have to get stuck with Hinamori?" asked Kukai.

"Souma-kun!" yelled Tadase.

"That wasn't nice Kukai." I said.

"Sorry." said Kukai. Amu-chi then was walking towards me wth her saber aiming for my neck. I thought I was a goner until I saw a golden-orange ball fly around her. She turned around and saw Kukai. "Stay away from Yaya." he said. Amu-chi took a step then she went really fast. Kukai was knocked off of his board and was sitting under a tree helplessly. Then Amu-chi walked towards him and put her saber at his neck. "I would kill you." she said then put her saber down. "But you're not worth it." I ran to Kukai and wrapped my arms around his neck. Amu-chi started to walk away. She turned to us and said "As for the rest of you. Don't interfere with Easter's plans to capture the Embryo." She then went into the direction Ikuto went. "What did she mean?" I asked.

"I don't know." said Kukai. "What is the Embryo?"

"I heard of it." said Tadase. "It's a magical egg that makes wishes come true."

"Makes wishes come true?" I asked. Then Rima-tan, Nagi and Utau-chan came back. "We lost him." said Rima-tan.

"We need to purify the X eggs." said Kukai.

Candy Victory

We went back to the concert hall as fast as we could. When the crowd woke up, Utau-chan was singing My Heartful Song.

The next day I showed everyone a flyer about the world music festival. "What's so great about that?" asked Nagi.

"We might see Amu-chi and Ikuto." I said. Everyone's eyes widened. "Let's go." said Ran-chan. So we went to the World Music Festival and started to hang out. "Look." said Kukai as he pointed to a flyer. It said there was a singing competition in 30 minutes and who ever wins get 10,000 dollars. "Who's gonna be in it?" asked Tadase. We pointed to Rima-tan and Nagi. "Why us!?" they asked.

"Because we want to." we said.

"But I'm going as Nadeshiko." said Nagi. We nodded. Soon, the contest started. Rima-tan said that she and Nag-I mean Nade-chi were singing Halo by Beyonce. After ten singers, it was their turn. When the song ended, people were about to clap until we heard the violin duet. We followed the crowds hearts' eggs to a field where we saw Amu-chi and Ikuto. "Let's go." said Tadase.

The violins turned to sabers and Amu-chi and Ikuto charged towards us.

Holy Crown

Tadase blocked their attacks but they broke through. "I thought I told you not to interfere." said Amu-chi.

Amu POV

I woke up and it was dark. I looked in front of me and saw a screen with everyone in their character transformations. "What the hell?" I asked. Then I saw the camera close in on Tadase-kun at rapid speed. "Tadase-kun look out!" I yelled.

"It's no use." said a voice. I looked around. Was that me? I thought. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"He can't hear you." said the voice. "He can't even see you." A figure appeared and it was me. "Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm you." said the other me. "I'm in a character transformation known as Death Cross."

"What?" I asked.

"This is you right now." said me pointing to the screen. "You and Ikuto are being controlled by Easter to find the Embryo."

"What the hell is the Embryo?" I asked.

"It's a magical egg that can grant wishes." said Death Cross. The screen moved to the right and I saw Ran, Miki, Su, and Dia. "No." I said.

"Even they can't hear or see you." said Death Cross. "You're helpless." Damn it.

Miki POV

Amu-chan was then heading for me, Ran, Su, and Dia. "Now what?" I asked.

"Only one thing to do." said Ran. "Run!" And we went in different directions. "I get it now." said Dia. "That's not Amu-chan!"

"What do you mean?" asked Su.

"That's not the real Amu-chan." said Dia. "The real Amu-chan is inside."

"How do you know?" asked Mikase.

"I feel her radiance." said Dia putting a hand to her heart. "In here."

"Damn it snap out of it Hinamori!" yelled Kukai.

Golden Victory Shoot

That didn't do anything. "Amu-chan." said Tadase-kun as his staff turned into a sword again(Remember in chapters 12-13 or something). "Snap out of it!" he yelled when their blades clashed. "Try to remember Amu-chan! Remember when your Guardian Characters were born!

"My Guardian Characters?" asked Amu-chan as she started to remember.

Flashback

"Hop Step Jump!"

"Chara Change: From a girl who can't draw to a girl who can draw anything."

"Leave this to Su."

"What do you wish for Amu-chan?"

Amu-chan's saber dropped to the ground as she stared. "Tadase-kun." She said. It wasn't over yet. Ikuto was charging towards Amu-chan and said "Amu we have work to do." Amu-chan's eyes widened as they turned sightless. "Yes we do." She grabbed her saber and almost stabbed Tadase-kun. "So close." I said.

"Amu-chan." said Su.

"Whenever she's in that form." said Dia. "She loses her radiance."

"So you might get X'ed again?" asked Ran.

"Probably so." said Dia. We can't let that happen. Afterwards, Ikuto and Amu-chan, weak and bruised, disappeared into the trees. "Amu-chan." said Ran.

"We were so close." said Su.

"To getting the real Amu-chan back." finished Dia.

"We'll get her back." I said.

"We believe you'll come back to us Amu-chan." we said.

Amu POV

Damn it. I can't believe I'm stuck in here while I have to hurt my friends. "Guys." I whispered. "I promise I'll come back."

It's a promise

Rima POV

It's been a few weeks and no one is asking where Amu is. Saaya however is pretty happy that she's gone. "Now that the slut has been removed." she said then went over to Tadase and grabbed his arm. "You have me now."

"Lay off whore." growled Tadase. We stared. I've never seen Tadase like that before. He got Saaya off of him and walked away. "Tadase wait." I said running after him. "We'll get Amu back."

"Yea but the question is when." said Tadase. I went to put a comforting hand on his shoulder but he went out of my reach. "Tadase." I said. I went to lunch a while later and saw that he wasn't there." You noticed it too?" asked Kukai. I nodded.

"Guys look at this." said Yaya giving us a magazine. There was an article about an amusement park named Dream Egg Land, and at the bottom it said produced by Easter. "No way." said Kusukusu.

"We might find Amu-chi." said Yaya.

"This solid info-dechu." said Pepe.

"And it says they're having a concert to celebrate the opening." said Nagi. "A violin concert. And it's tonight."

"We gotta go." said Kukai. We nodded and Yaya went to tell Tadase. 30 minutes later, he and Kiseki ran in. "Let's go." he said. We nodded. The Guardian Characters nodded then smiled. "We'll get Amu-chan back." said Ran.

"You got it." said Miki.

"Amu-chan we're coming for you." said Su.

"I can feel her thinking about us." said Dia. "Her radiance is strong." Then it was night and the concert was supposed to start at 7. "Hurry." I said. Nagi got out his Ipod and turned his radio app to FMinter. "That's all for today's report, now keep your radios at FMinter." said the reporter. Soon, we heard violin notes. "Let's go." said Kukai.

"Look at all those X eggs." said Rhythm. So we ran as fast as we could to the amusement park. Since I was a slow runner, Nagi picked me up bridal style and carried me.

Don't worry Amu. We're almost there.
