In Merem's room

"Natsume! You were just injured, I- I think it's better if you don't go..." Mikan said to Natsume.

He looked at her, "What are you talking about bakaaa," he stretched out the word. "I'm just returning the favor."

Mikan looked confused about what Natsume said but since he didn't elaborate she didn't push him. There was a much bigger problem present.

"Hotaru, why are you leaving Iinchou behind? I forgot to ask." Mikan asked her best friend.

Hotaru looked up at the dense girl and said, "Since Iinchou has the illusion Alice, if anybody asks about us, he can use his Alice to make people see that we're actually at the school."

Everyone gazed in awe, even Iinchou.

"That's why Imai-San is one of the smartest people in our grade, other than NATSUME- KUN~~~~~" Sumire said.

"Grab someone's hand we're about to go now." Hotaru said.

"Eh- what about being prepared?" Ruka said in apprehension.

"No problem, I have all the gear we need to fight with in here."

Hotaru held out Merem's Star Bag.

The star bag was created by an Alice user that could manipulate the space within an area, it can store any sort of device, object or invention without the hassle of running out of space. It is useful in situations where you go shopping as it can carry more than the average bag and it completely gets rid of the weight of the objects inside of it.

"I saw Merem pouring tons of stuff out of this bag." Mikan said.

"Which is why I stored all my weapons in it too." Hotaru replied. "Now, it's time. I wish we were in a safe area close to Merem." Hotaru stressed out the word safe.

It was better to say the wish clearer than have a problem show up because the wish did exactly as you said.

The group then disappeared.

——

Two hours had passed by and Merem's bladder was about to burst.

She tried her best not to wiggle around, but at that rate she was about to wet herself. She didn't want to see what would happen if they found out she was awake the entire time.

Just then, she heard someone walk up to her again.

"What's wrong with this girl? Why is she still unconscious?"

The doctor looked at the guard beside him in fury.

"We have no idea either doctor, I'll go check." The guard took a step forward.

The doctor raised his hand.

"No need. The foreign clients requested that the Alice user must not be further contaminated in any way. We'll be able to get much more money than we could ever hope for."

"When's the ship arriving?" The guard asked him.

"Those plans have changed, after I sent a picture of the girl myself they have decided to come pick her up personally. Since she wasn't able to fight you lot back, they thought it would be fine since she is weaker than the other Alices."

"But... those foreigners are just normal people."

"Exactly, rich normal people who want a lovely girl that contains an Alice."

"We don't exactly know what Alice though. She is wearing an Alice suppressor around her neck. She could be dangerous in the hands of normal people."

"Enough talk, the clients are heading here via Private Jet right at this moment. I don't have time to talk about trifling things. We just need to get this girl to them and then we get paid. Shut your trap and get back to work."

Outside Mikan was listening in with Hotaru's invention the Spy Earmuffs. The newest change was that instead of looking like regular earmuffs Hotaru designed them to look like Elephant Ears.

"What are they saying?" Sumire asked Mikan, unable to endure waiting.

"They're selling Merem abroad."

"What?!"

"The clients are heading over in a private jet. We have to hurry, that's much faster than a ship." Mikan stood up.

"Wait." Natsume pulled on Mikan's dress.

Mikan turned around.

"We need a plan." Ruka said beside Natsume. "We can't just rush in head first, we need to think of something or else we're all dead meat." The rabbit in his arms jumped in fright. "Ahh... I didn't mean to scare you little buddy." He said to the rabbit.

Hotaru nodded.

Right now they were outside the facility where Merem was being held, the smell of sea water was particularly strong. She expected them to board Merem onto the boat which would be much easier to grab Merem back, and help her teleport.

Of course, dealing with the guards on their way back. She was extremely confident in her weapons and with Merem's dress she could wish for them to be much stronger than they were already.

She didn't expect them to instead change their mind and have the client come pick Merem up themselves. The situation became more high risk. As there would be more people surrounding the clients to protect them.

Hotaru sighed

"First we need to deal with the barrier." She nodded her head at Mikan. Before turning to Ruka. "Next, we need to get rid of the power source. Use your Alice and have the rats chew on the electrical cords. Sumire, Natsume, and I will head in and get rid of any guards. While you Mikan will grab Merem, and pull her out. Ruka you will have to protect Mikan and Merem and wish them back into the school. We can wish ourselves back."

——

Merem began to lose hope, 'Narumi-Sensei where are you?'

She was almost close to blowing her cover, when she heard about the idea of being sold abroad. How was she going to get back? Tears began to fill her eyes. She felt helpless.

Suddenly. The guard standing near her suddenly collapsed in pain.

"Ack!"

The other guards immediately raised their awareness. The man spoke, "Somebody destroyed my barrier. There are intruders!"

"Damn! Don't tell me you took a child that was very important to the school?!" The doctor yelled at the guard before kicking him into the ground.

"She was alone, she seemed like the best candidate. Her looks are higher than many of the girls in the school. We thought we could earn more in that case." One of the three guards who took her said.

The lights suddenly shut off.

Merem couldn't contain her excitement. 'They're here! They're coming to save me.' She thought, she opened her eyes as since it was darker now no one would notice her awake.

She tried untying herself. Suddenly screams could be heard.

"Ack!" A man could be seen flying into a wall in the dark. He went unconscious.

"Ahh! Something scratched my face!" Another man said.

"My clothes are on fire!"

These words repeated constantly until Merem could only hear silence. Where was the doctors scream of pain?

"Merem." A voice whispered beside her.

Merem jumped in fear.

"It's me Mikan, Ruka-Kun and I are here to get you outside." Mikan said in seriously.

'What? The teachers didn't come to save her but her friends?'

Merem turned to stare at the two little children beside her. They weren't much older than her, but they held more courage than she ever did.

"Alright," she said.

The lights suddenly turned back on.

"Not so fast," A man said. It was the doctor. "To think that these trained professionals were knocked out by two mere children. The ludicracy. I guess it's up to me now." He said thinking that it was  only Ruka and Mikan that had defeated all the men.

He immediately grabbed the two of them and held them by his side. Mikan ended up pulling off Merem's necklace together with her. Since she had the nullification Alice, it negated the shock Merem would have felt if she tried to remove it herself. Hotaru, Natsume and Sumire arrived to witness the scene.

"So there were more children. Uh-uh, you wouldn't want to use your little Alices on me while I have your friends on my self."

"Who said we couldn't, we have great self control." Sumire said before lunging at the man.

The man lifted up his arm and tapped Sumire on the forehead. She fell immediately in the same position she had while attacking.

"Paralyzation Alice." Hotaru said. "Don't let that man touch you!"

He left Mikan and Ruka paralyzed behind him and went after the other children. Natsume used his fire alice to burn the man every time he came too close to them.

"Tch." The man replied. "No matter. If I can't paralyze you, I might as well make you guys give up yourself. He pulled out a knife.

"This knife was made specially to drain the Alices out of children's bodies all the while killing them at the same time." He headed to Mikan and Ruka, and noticed the two of them twitch. "These children must be your close friend. He smiled crazily. You're lucky, my other job is a surgeon. I'll have fun cutting them up one by one."  He approached Ruka first.

Everyone held in their breath, Natsume attempted to burn the man where he held the knife.

The doctor cackled loudly, "Oh! Did I forget to mention. Alice abilities are useless against this knife. Obviously, because this knife has already taken almost hundreds of alice abilities. It is practically invincible. That means." The doctor snapped. "I don't have to touch you to paralyze you. Now then. On to more pressing matters. Who should I choo-ah! Maybe you, pretty boy! Let's see these girls go crazy over you if you're dead!" He lifted the knife over his head.

"Stop!" Mikan suddenly lunged on top of Ruka to protect him.

"Mikan!" Hotaru shouted in fear.

Natsume could only watch in shock, his world came crashing down around him. He could only watch the loon attack his best friend, he ran towards him.

Merem watched the scene unfold in front of her. She didn't want this to happen. She never wanted this to happen! She only wanted to enjoy living in her favorite manga. All the fear and joy she experienced with her friends. She won't let this happen. Something surged up in her, was it adrenaline? It felt painful but she used every last bit of strength she had.

"I WISH WE WERE ALL SAFE!"

The others watched as the man flew back away from the two breaking the wall behind him knocking him unconscious. The knife in his hand disintegrated. Voices could be heard escaping the knife, "Thank you." They didn't know if they were imagining it.

Suddenly their bodies began to disappear.

"What's happening?! Guys!"
