Chapter 5: The Courage to Break Up and OutDisclaimer (continued): Takara, Teiru, Majo Hoshi, Hikaru, Kaitou thief Aiko, parasites of darkness, the five Servants of the King, the eight Purities, and the Shadow King are my ideas, and cannot be stolen or copied. "All right, ready, Hoshi?" Teiru asked, Majo Hoshi raised her staff and energy began to flow into the jewel. "Holy sources of all that is pure, listen to my words." Teiru began to hover up into the air and glow a green aura due to the rod. "Die Reinheit, die die Verwirrung aufhört, kommt zu mir. (1)" The symbol on the stadium field reacted. "Emblem release!!" The symbol faded & a ball of orange light appeared. The aura faded out, & the ball changed into a small, orange tablet with the sun symbol on it. The red-haired captain came into the field & swiped the emblem. "Let's go get the emblem." By the time they went to the field, the emblem was gone! "This is just great!!" was the groan Hoshi induced as she went back to her human identity. __________________ "Hi, Hana!" Takara called out to her, holding Teiru, who was doing his best to be a stuffed toy. "Mind if we chat?" "Of course-su!" Hana said. She came up behind a small window & saw three other people, Takara's friends. "Who are they-su?" "We're friends of Takara! I'm Torika, but I've got a number of nicknames!" Torika boasted. "'Weird' is one of them." The calmer twin remarked. "HEY!!" Maddy walked up to the shrine girl. "My name's Maddy. I was the one who told Takara about your place." Both girls shook hands and Maddy gestured to Tai. "And this is Tai. He's in high school." Maddy got starry eyed. "He's very cool, too!" Hana nodded "yes" as she too also got starry eyed. "The reason why I came with the rest is to invite you to an archeological dig. My father is going on one, recently there have been reports of a tomb with a strange connection to the Holy Village." Tai explained. "HANA! Take me along, too!" The red-haired captain held the emblem up. "And I also wish to be your fiancée." "What, that tablet is a sign of engagement-su?" Hana turned her back to him. "I said it before, it's over-su!" The Courage emblem suddenly flew out of the boy's hands and near Takara. While everyone stared at the captain, Teiru took the opportunity to jump out of his partner's grasp, turn into his laptop form, and have the emblem be placed into the screen. 'Courage Emblem, getto da ze. (2)' Takara thought. She smiled as she looked at her new emblem and Teiru's smiling face. Everyone else was telling off the redhead. _______________ Back at home, Takara was reading a book when she heard a chime from her item. She opened it and up appeared Teiru. "Found out where Atem is imprisoned. His sleeping container is at the Temple of the Dragon." "The place where the expedition is being held." Takara realized. "We're coming, Atem." _________________ "YURI!!" Aiko fumed. At a secret room, the Shadow thief was with the five servants. Yuri and four others appeared on their podiums; a spotlight shown on the 5th where he was, the other four shadowed were a 19-year-old girl in ponytails, a muscular man in mid 20s, a girl in early teens holding a hardcover book wearing a coat and a man with a mage's robe. "Our majesty is displeased with your work." "Yes. So far your best efforts were hindered by this Majo Hoshi." The almost adult girl spoke out. "Settle down, Aiko. Leader Fate." He held up a remote. "My machine is finished. Prosperity is just around the corner, but I need one chance from the king. Leader?" Fate nodded and began to focus. Telepathically she reached out to the slumbering King. 'Your highness, shall we allow him this?' Yes, but he must also destroy that spell caster and Atem, so his efforts can trickle down on both this world and on us. 'Thank you. I will replace him with the fourth one if he fails of if he is killed in the lines.' She broke the link and turned to Yuri. "You have one chance. Succeed and the King will be most pleased. Fail and punishment will come." "Thank you, leader." Yuri bowed and turned to the thief. "I need you for a minute, though." "What for?" questioned Aiko. Preview: Teiru: The excavation is today. We also find Atem as well. Takara: What the…cave-in! Everyone's trapped! Yuri and Aiko: And we're happy you are. Takara: You again? Where's Torika?! Aiko: Not on this Earth anymore. Let's just say, I can possess her anytime. Yuri: Now for that accursed leader. Teiru and Takara: Not so fast! Next time: The Surprising Discovery. See ya!
