The Choice Between Life and Death
Yumi and Ulrich were on the floor holding their heads. "Ouch!" They said. Odd looks down and sees two shiny red crystal balls on the ground. "What are these?" He asked. "The Inferno Balls!" Staravia shouted. "What?" Yumi said as she rubs her head. "The Inferno Crystal Balls!" Subaha said. "These allow you and Ulrich to see into the future, understand difficult outcomes, and many more!" Cāndanī said. "Well your future can hurt you!" Jeremy said as everyone laughed. "Ha, ha!" Yumi said. Ulrich and Yumi picked up the crystal balls. They instantly got a strange vision. The world is dark The sky is red. Everyone is turned to stone. Fairies are placed into bubbles. Yumi and Ulrich and standing on a pile of bodies as they come face to face with a strange woman. She wears dark blue and has a sharp sword with cures at the end. Her eyes are dark purple and her hair has rattle snakes at the end. She laughs as she attacks Yumi and Ulrich. Yumi and Ulrich dropped the balls. "Are you guys okay?" Allison asked. "Yes! The sun got into our eyes from the reflection." Ulrich said. They brought it but Yumi and Ulrich just lied to their friends because they don't want to brother them.
Convolution looks at the bubbles of the Fairy Soldiers. "Who are these heroes?" She looks at the pictures of the group. "These two." She looks at Yumi and Ulrich. "These are my next victims." "Remember, we also need to find out who are the two lost souls who need redemption." Dr. Eito said. "Then how about Adam Belrose. He is a disgrace pianist that was just given a second chance at a high school social event." "Perfect!" Convolution takes out a stone. "This will get these two at the event. I'll invite the whole school and make sure that these two are there. All of there friends have something to do with out mission. I need to be certain." Convolution leaves. One of the voices sees the bubbles move. They quickly show who are the Fairy Soldiers and then change back. "Silly Convolution! She will never complete her mission so I will have to get rid of her!" The voice said.
A few days later Allison and Dawn were talking outside. The wind and warm feelings makes Allison full of life. "I can't believe that it is November!" Allison said. "November 2nd." Dawn said. "Things have been crazy! Halloween was frightful!" "Yeah! XANA can do that to us! Plus Yumi can't catch a break the past few days." "I know. First her brother takes her diary and loses it. Then she gets lost in the network." "But we were able to find her. And Ulrich found her diary and gave it back to her and let Hiroki take the credit." "Cute!" "But then he forgets her birthday and that cause tension." "Ouch! Didn't Odd fix that!" "Yep. He was able to buy a gift for her. Then had to exchange it because he gave Ulrich the wrong one." "Well at least they made up." "Plus Jeremy was able to get Aelita and Odd to the real world and locate the Supercomputer to the replika." Dawn pauses. "What when did this happen?" "You should have been paying attention instead of playing Episode!" "But I was close in dating a rock star!" "Which you named Odd!" "Shh." Dawn blushed a little. The others arrived just as Sissi throws herself at the group.
"Guess who is going to be a princess for the night?" Sissi shouted. "Please let it be Satan!" Odd said. Everybody laughed. "Fuck it Odd!" Sissi said. Allison and Aelita both grab the flyer from Sissi and read it. "This says that our school is one out of six schools to get invited to an all high school classical event." Aelita said. "Where did you get that you are going to be a princess?" Allison asked. "Well since all the principals are getting honored, my daddy is going to be treated like a king." "So that makes us unfortunate souls at this event." Ulrich said. "Or that makes you my prince, if you want?" Sissi tries to grab Ulrich but he moves out the way and Sissi falls to the ground. "If I were a real princess, I will have all of you exiled." Sissi leaves. "Is this what Gustave was talking about?" Ash asked. "What do you mean?" Jeremy asked. "We have to go or we will get extra homework." "What!" Jeremy said. "We get credit for going so why not?" "Because I have a lot of work to do." "Jeremy you can take a break. And besides you get to listen to one of the best pianist." Aelita said. "You mean watch him redeem himself." Odd said. "Who?" Yumi asked. "Adam Belrose." "Who is that?" "A pianist that was outcast by the entire society." "For what?" "I don't know!" "I do!" Ash said. " Ash. You know it's a misdemeanor to say what he did out loud." Allison said. "It's that bad?" Jeremy said. "Yes. It was a few years ago. My family and I were there but my siblings and I were too young to understand. So my mom explained it later on." Brock gets an idea. "Remember what the Fairy Guards said?" "Yes that they are looking for the three souls that have the lost treasures." Yumi said. "But also they are looking for two souls that need redemption." "Do you think that Adam Belrose could be one of the souls?" Aelita asked. "It could be. If what he did was so bad that he was an outcast for years. Then why not?" Dawn said. Allison gets up. "Then that means the Fairy Guards will be there waiting for him as well." "And we need to be ready." Jeremy said. Then out of the blue, Jeremy's laptop beeps.
Yumi gets ready for the night when her mother walks up to her. "You look so grown up." Akiko said. "Mom stop!" Yumi said while blushing. "Yumi, your boyfriend's here." Hiroki said. "Shut up!" Yumi said. Yumi is wearing a peach color skater dress. Ulrich is wearing a dark suit with a peach color shirt. "Cute." Akiko said. "You're matching." Ulrich blushed. "Bye mom! We all have to walk there." Yumi said. The others were all outside waiting. Hiroki shouts from the window. "Bye sis! Bye Ō Ani!" Yumi blushed. "What does that mean?" Ulrich asked. "Friend. Just friend." Yumi said. "It means big brother." Allison told Odd. "Interesting." He said. The place was the same place as the ball weeks ago. The hall was full of students from six different school. The students seem to be very...rude. "My school is full of fresh fruit and the best teachers from miles around." "My school is very expenses. The best students come here." "Everyone is really snobby!" Dawn said. "I know. I can't stand it." Aelita said. Then after a while, some of the Kadic students start to act very light headed. "My head hurts." Jeremy said. "I know right. I feel so loopy." Allison said. She drinks some water. "Awe the Kadic kids can't handle crisps liquor!" A students said. "What!" Odd said. "Did Belrose made another taboo? This is all the finest liquor in the word." "You all must not drink. What kind of boarding school do you all go to? Drinking is all we do." Another students said. " Great. We're drunk." Ash said as he sits down. He sees Leona and Destiny talking. "I have to play in front of everyone." Destiny said. "Worry not. You'll be fine." Leona said. "Thanks. You're a great sister." She kisses her on the cheek. Destiny gets up. "I almost forgot to mess with Yumi." She walks over and sees Yumi and Ulrich holding their heads. "Whoa this is too much. What kind of place give teenagers hard liquor?" Yumi said. "The place where annoying people like you are." Destiny said. She kisses Yumi and leaves her stunned. "Was she drunk?" Ulrich asked. "No. Remember she kissed Allison, Dawn, and Aelita on the trip." Odd said. "Huh?" Yumi asked. The lights went out. Destiny is wearing a silver sparkling skater dress. She places, "La Mer" on the Violin. The music plays all around the room. Then Adam Belrose plays along. The way he plays erases all the bad things he has done. Then an explosion appeared. Students scattered. Convolution screamed and let out a red soldier with the because symbol on her leg. "I knew it." Brock said. Destiny and Leona sneak away to transform. The others do the same. But get stopped by Convolution. "Not so fast, Yumi and Ulrich!"
"What!" They said. "I want to see into your souls as well." Convolution shouted. The red soldier takes the soul stone of Adam Belrose. It is gray. The Fairy Guards took it. Before the others transformed, they see Yumi and Ulrich in trouble. "Hey ugly!" Jeremy shouted. "Leave them alone!" Odd said. They all attacked her but she moved her hands and pushed them out the way. Then she lets them watch as she grabs Yumi and Ulrich. Yumi kicks her in the face but Convolution's face splits into two. Yumi and Ulrich are horrified. "I'm the result of two functions put together." Her face is back to normal. She lifts Ulrich and Yumi up. She grabs their chest and throws them across the hall. Leaving their lifeless bodies on the ground. She looks at their soul stones. "Red and green. Perfect. I wonder why?" "No!" Allison shouts. They get up. "We have to save our friends first. " Ash said.

"Give them back!" Princess Soldier Heart shouted. "Why should I?" Convolution asked. "Because their our friends!" Soldier Pentagon shouts. "Boring! I need to see why these Soul Stones are these colors while that man's own is gray." Unity Keeper grabs the Soul Stone of Adam Belrose. "Give them back!" "No!" The red soldier grabs the Soldiers and throws them against the wall. Ulrich and Yumi barely open their eyes and see their friends in turmoil. They are dying and helpless. They are able to hold hands and smile at each other. "Don't give up!" They said. "We can't give up!" Unity Keeper said. "And we won't" Knight Soldier Heart said. "Heart Electromagnetically Revolution!" Blue lighting cracks the monster to pieces. Convolution is stunned and is attacked by Santi Guard. "Waste Cannon!" Convolution was a tossed salad. She drops the Soul Stones and Kora Guard grabs them. "Give them back!" Soldier Diamond shouts. "We told you. You don't understand. We need to find the right ones." But Santi Guard looks at them. "Inferno and War! Inferno and Spirits!" "What does that mean?" Kora Guard asked. "Not them either but why are those kids getting all the unique ones?" "What are they doing?" Soldier Diamond asks. "They can tell what Yumi and Ulrich represent." Soldier Square said. "We need to study them. It's for the greater good." "Greater good! Kora Guard." Unity keeper shouts. "How could you let them die! That is not for the greater good!" Soldier Pentagon shouts. "Great heroes need to make great sacrifices!" Santi Guard said. "Please! Their Soul Stones were talking form them by one monster and two more will try to experiment on them. What sacrifice?" Soldier Circle said. The Fairy are about to leave. "Look at their eyes!" Princess Soldier Heart shouts. They don't. "You don't want to face the people who are leaving for dead. You are going to take them away from their friends, families, and other other people that care about them. They didn't sign up for this. You are taking their right to live for what! Something that you won't share with us! That is selfish. And you won't even face them!" "Shut up!" Santi Guard said. Yumi and Ulrich barely have any strength left but they are able to look at the Fairy Guards and make them look at them. Kora Guard gives back the Soul Stones. Yumi and Ulrich quickly recover. Santi Guard is angry. "Sewer Flash!" "Not this time!" said Soldier Diamond and Soldier Pentagon. "Diamond Sound Waves!" "Pentagon Harmonic Flash!" They blasted the Fairy Guards away. "Thanks." Yumi said. She and Ulrich collapsed on the floor.
The next day, Yumi and Ulrich look better but still feel weak. "How do you feel?" Brock asked. "Better!" They said. "If they were here, i would let them feel my mighty..." Odd started. "Remember the bet Odd." Ulrich said. "I wasn't bragging. I was just saying that I hate that those Fairy Guards almost left you and Yumi for dead." "Right! I know." Dawn said. Then the Inferno Balls started to glow. "What's happening?" Aelita said. "The balls see something." Staravia said. Yumi and Ulrich grab the balls. They placed the balls on their laps. The ball glows. They closed their eyes. Convolution holds pictures of Allison and Ash. "Tomorrow I will get these two. The perfect couple!" The voice places toxic on the picture. "They will kill you!" The voice said. Yumi and Ulrich's bodies glow and they wings were bright and sparkling. Their foreheads have their respective shapes and the balls start to float. "Mystifying!" Jeremy said. "What does it say?"Cāndanī asked. "That Convolution will her demise." Yumi and Ulrich said.
