Chapter 25: The God of Love

Wombat gasped as he ran up to Gora, "Gorar-sama!"

Gora looked down as Wombat bowed, "What is it?"

"Zundar is here...! He has your brother!" Wombat frowned, "He brainwashed the Caerula Adamas and his own brother has the VEPPer and Tungsten!"

Gora gasped, "What about the others?!"

"The Battle Lovers are stalling, they're trying to talk to Aurite."

Gora frowned, "Wombat, I'm not able to transfor—"

"nonsense! You are the current God of Love!" Wombat smiled, "Your father must know that your brother is in danger!"

Gora looked down, "Papa has been very busy...he..."

Wombat looked at him, "You and your brother are the only ones who can seal Zundar and Dadacha away!"

Gora bit his lip, "Wombat. I'll help you of course, but I have to rescue my brother."

Wombat smiled and his eyes began to shine, "Maximum Gorar!"

Epinard frowned, "Kin-chan, please!"

Aurite shook his head, "A-At-chan..." He looked around and his eyes stopped as he saw Cerulean.

Cerulean growled, "You're smarter than this you know. You're the damn God of Wisdom, president."

Vesta smirked, "You three said you hated Zundar and Hireashi. Don't you remember being at the party? That fateful day."

Sulfur sighed, "The craziest party."

Epinard looked down at Scarlet, who's eyes slowly opened. "He's awake...clearly he wasn't harmed too badly."

Scarlet gasped out, "Aurite, you told me, you begged for forgiveness when you told me about how you worked with Zundar!"

Aurite shook his head, "I..."

"Kin-chan please!" Epinard yelled as he slowly walked to the boy. "You know you've been brainwashed. All of you have been. They know you three can seal them away. They saw you seal Hireashi away!"

Zundar froze, "S-silence, Epinard!" He screamed, "We...we have Lord Hireashi located!"

"Really?" A voice yelled and then a laugh, "Didn't know a fish could be found out of water."

"Gorar, we really didn't expect them to be around still."

"Yes, Hashibiro."

Scarlet's eyes lit up, "An-chan!"

Maximum Gorar stood there, holding his axe, next to a blue shoebill. "They really thought they'd win."

Scarlet smiled, "They hit me with something! My body was glowing." He laughed, "Scarlet isn't happy~"

Gorar's eyes widened, "Yumoto, do not unleash Scarlet!"

Zundar laughed as the boy's eyes began to glow.

Vesta froze, "FUCK! We don't have Argent to stop him!" He glared at Zundar, "That's why you hit him...you..."

Hashibiro looked at Wombat, "Wombat, when was the last time he had an episode?"

"I don't remember, sir..."

Gorar growled, "Epinard, work on keeping my brother calm...I'll get rid of Zundar."

"They have Araki!" Scarlet screamed as he stood, the chains falling off his body. "They hurt him..." he yelled, "I won't let them live..."

Epinard grabbed Scarlet's arms, "Little One, please...we have this under control! You have to calm down. Argent is confused!"

Scarlet froze at the name and looked at the God of Protection. Epinard gasped as the boy's eyes stopped glowing as fast as it began.

Argent looked at the boy and Scarlet started running to him, "Argent!" He screamed, "Ibu-chan-senpai!" he cried.

Hashibiro gasped, "Gorar, your brother...!"

Scarlet quickly threw himself onto Argent's chest. "P-please..." He whispered as tears filled his eyes, "Y-You...you once were my only friend."

Argent froze as he looked down at the blonde boy. "I..."

Scarlet whimpered, "P-please...please..." He whispered, "Argent...don't you remember me?"

Zundar growled and Dadacha nodded, "An-chan...throw it."

Zundar smirked as he formed a needle in his hands. As he enlarged it, he quickly threw it out and Argent gasped as he quickly tackled the heir to the ground.

Scarlet cried out as his back hit the ground and Argent hissed in pain as he was hit in his leg.

"Arima-san!" Perlite cried and Aurite froze, "Argent!"

Scarlet gasped as Argent's uniform turned back to normal and he groaned. "Y-You're safe...I promise..."

"B-But you're not okay!" Scarlet screamed. "You...you're hurt!"

"It...it's not that bad..." Argent whispered, "Remember...you've had one of these in your ankle..."

Scarlet frowned, "Y-yes but..."

Argent smiled down at him, "I'm okay..."

"Lord Zundar..." Aurite spat and glared at the demon, "No. You are not who I work for!"

Dadacha gasped and Zundar growled, "Aurite..."

"You were aiming to kill his majesty..." He yelled, "You brainwashed us...we are not weak minded men who blindly follow you!"

"S-so!?" Dadacha yelled, "Y-you....you jerks!"

"Where are the twins and the Keishi brothers!?" Perlite screamed and he gasped as Dadacha was hit by an orb and began to scream.

"Right here!" Sol screamed, "Aki is still knocked out. Araki and Satoru are tending to him now."

Dadacha whimpered, "H-Haru-chan...please..."

"No!"

Gorar smiled, "Finally, you're all here..."

Scarlet frowned, "We have to get this out of Ibu-chan-senpai!"

"Yumoto, you have to help me seal them away, now!" Gorar yelled and Scarlet gasped. "I..."

"NOW!" Hashibiro yelled and Argent smiled, "Go on, Yumoto. Akoya will help me."

Scarlet looked down, "O-okay..." The blonde boy stood and walked over to his brother. "H-how?"

"Form the True Love Staff!" Wombat yelled and each Battle Lover held up their Love Sticks.

Scarlet grabbed the newly formed staff and Dadacha screamed as he held onto Zundar. "I don't want to go!!!" He screeched and Zundar growled, "Heir of love...you will die before you gain the throne!"

Gorar growled, "Silence!" He yelled, "Yumoto, now!"

The two Hakone brothers touched their staffs together.

"Demons of darkness!" Gorar yelled as an orb began to form on the tips of the touching weapons.

"Go back to where you came!" Scarlet yelled, "You will not return!"

Gorar growled as he wrapped his arm around his brother's shoulders. "Love Sealing!" The duo cried and the orb shot off.

Dadacha screamed and Zundar gasped as his brother held on tighter. "Oh no...! N-Not that light again!!" The brothers screamed loudly as they were trapped and the light faded.

Scarlet gasped, "T-they're....gone..." He whispered and felt his knees buckle from under him. The last things he heard, were his guardians screaming his name as he passed out.
