Chapter 19: Eternal Dreams

Sol laughed as he heard the heir scream loudly and he looked at the Caerula Adamas, "You are too late."

"What do you mean?!" Argent spat and Luna smirked, "We'll give you back the others...but the heir..."

Perlite froze, "Y-You two...you're making the Battle Lovers see the wrong timelines!"

"You're right." Luna smiled, "But the heir is awake."

Argent growled and pulled his rapier out, "Damn you two!" He ran at the twins, Sol laughed as he dodged, "Ah, Argent, you're so stupid!"

Argent gasped as he was shoved away and Sol smirked, "We'll give you back the Battle Lovers, the heir is ours."

Aurite growled, "Fine."

"What?!" Perlite gasped and Argent frowned, "Y-you'd sell out the heir for that?!"

Aurite nodded and bit his lip as the monster let down four of the five orbs. He gasped as the Battle Lovers were freed and Epinard groaned as his eyes opened. He gasped, "K-Kin-chan!"

Vesta moaned softly as he woke up, "Yumoto!" He screamed and the God of Fire stood shakily as he pointed his Love Stick at the twins, "Drop my heir!"

The twins gasped as Vesta shot a large attack of fire at them, they didn't realize what they were messing with...

Yumoto screamed as he was shot back by a large monster, he could hardly stand up again. He whimpered as he looked at himself and felt his body flare up in pain.

He gasped as he felt a finger trace his neck and he looked up. He screamed once more as he felt the mark heat up. He moaned in pain and gritted his teeth. "T-This isn't real!" He spat, and the monster laughed, "It is!"

"NO!" Yumoto screamed, "None of this is real!" He looked at the monster, "You are fake!" He spat and grabbed a medal off of his godly robes. "This is a dream!" He looked up at the monster and threw the medal.

The monster laughed as it hit above its head, "You missed."

"I know," The heir smirked, and the monster gasped as a mirror began forming and as it did, it was shattering.

The monster screamed and Yumoto gasped as the orb around him began to crack. He did it!

-

Argent gasped as he heard the orb shattering and looked up as he saw the heir plummeting to the ground. "AH!" He screamed and ran towards the unconscious boy.

"Stop him!" Sol screamed and Argent shot chains out as the twins began to shoot attacks at him. "Yumoto-san!" Argent yelled as he jumped up to catch him.

The God of Protection caught the heir in his arms and quickly used his chains to lower himself to the ground gently.

Argent smiled as he cradled the boy and Sol screamed, "DAMN YOU!"

Aurite smirked as he jumped in front of the duo, "And you though that monster would beat us."

Luna growled, "We almost did..." He laughed, "Look at him, he's literally beaten to a pulp!"

"That may be so..." Perlite spat, "But we beat your monster today..."

Epinard walked over with the other Battle Lovers, "You won't win!" Cerulean yelled, "We won't let you nor the other demons win!"

Luna smirked, "Alright," he turned to Sol, "let's go, shall we?"

"Of course."

Argent growled as the twins teleported away and Scarlet's eyes slowly opened, his Battle Lover uniform was back on his body. "Y-Yumoto-san." Argent whispered and Scarlet blinked slowly, "Argent?"

"How are you?"

"My body hurts..." He smiled slowly as he giggled, "I fought a monster all by myself!"

"Good," Argent replied, "you did great."

Scarlet nodded and grabbed his brooch, "Love Out." He giggled as his transformation undid itself.

He sighed as he tried to stand. "Dammit..." He muttered and Argent frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Damn ankle..." The heir spat, "That monster at one point looked like Hireashi and it grabbed my ankle."

Argent felt it, "Luckily," he smiled, "it's not broken."

Yumoto smiled, "Yeah, just twisted."

"Yeah," Argent replied and looked at Aurite, "Let's go home...those twins will be back."

Perlite nodded, "I hate that we have to keep fighting, Hireashi was supposed to be the end!"

Aurite nodded, "They knew that too, they knew that if they got the twins, Dadacha and Zundar would have one more chance."

Epinard frowned as they walked away, he spoke as they arrived at the Kurotama, "So, they're the reason why they came back..." he sighed, "Let's hope that we can defeat them fast."

Yumoto sighed as Araki came into his room, "Hey, love." He spoke and Yumoto frowned, "You weren't here the other day."

"I know," The brown haired boy frowned, "I know."

Yumoto sighed as Araki kissed his cheek, "Gora-san said you had gotten another fever."

Yumoto nodded, "Yeah...we fought a monster when you were gone."

"Did you?"

"Yeah..." The blonde boy shook his head, "It's okay though." He forced a smile, "I'm glad you're here though."

Araki nodded and thought, "This is awkward tonight...have I upset him?"

"Have..." Araki began, "have I upset you?"

"Huh?"

"Have I upset you?" The brunette repeated and Yumoto frowned, "O-oh..." he looked at Araki, "No."

Araki sighed, "Are you sure? You seem upset at me."

Yumoto looked at him, "ah...!" He blushed, "Sorry, I still feel slightly sick."

Araki smiled, his violet eyes closing as he started to laugh. "S-sorry." He blushed, "it's just funny that I thought that."

Yumoto looked at him as he hugged him, "Sorry," he yawned, "I'm tired..."

"Sleep then, I'll hold you..."

Yumoto laughed, "that's so cheesy..."

"I know," Araki grinned, "I'm cheesy towards you."

-

"Aki!" Haru cried, "I have a plan!"

"Oh?" Aki asked, "What is it this time?"

"Easy." Haru spoke, "We lure the heir and Battle Lovers here."

"And the Caerula Adamas?"

"Lure them out of here."

"Where?"

"Easy, make them think a crazy demon is out."

"Or..." Aki smirked, "Let them chase us..."

"What?"

"I don't mean us, us." The eldest replied, "I'm talking about we create shadows of us and they think they're chasing us."

"And Tungsten?"

"Let him come."
