Chapter 12: The Sun and Moon

The twins ran throughout the mansion, trying to find Yumoto and his shattered crystal.

"Where could it be Haru?!" Melty Luna panicked, "Without him, he can't make Dadacha leave!"

Salty Sol nodded, "I know! Damn Dadacha...and here I thought he changed like we did!"

Melty Luna gasped as he saw Yumoto's limp body floating there and crystal shards floating above his chest.

"There he is...! We need to hurry, Haru!"

"Not so fast..."a voice hissed and there stood two copies of them.

"You shouldn't have said you were done with Dadacha..." The dark Melty Luna laughed and the dark Salty Sol held up the crystal shards, "We're killing Hakone Yumoto..."

The real Melty Luna gasped, "You can't! He's done nothing wrong!"

"Oh, just watch us, the Battle Lovers will fail!" The dark twins laughed and the real ones ran forward to attack.

Salty Sol cried out and the darker one smirked as it held up Scarlet's shattered crystal, "Let's make this more interesting..."

Melty Luna frowned, "You can't do that!"

"We can too, we shall both rule and Battle Lover Scarlet...no Hakone Yumoto will never live again!" The darker Salty Sol laughed and his darker twin nodded.

Salty Sol growled as he charged at his darker self, he held his scissors out and the darker self screamed out as it was stabbed. "Damn you! Go to hell!" He hissed.

"Damn you!" Salty Sol hissed, "You are not me! You are nothing but thin air!"

The darker Melty Luna gasped, "Sol!"

"Aki! Get rid of yours too!"

Melty Luna nodded and stabbed the other.

The darker twins grabbed each other's hands and they screamed as they disappeared and Melty Luna ran to the crystal shards.

He looked down at them and felt tears filling his eyes, "Ha-Haru..." He whimpered, "We...we did this! We broke the crystal!"

Salty Sol looked up, "We did not, Aki...Dadacha did...he was controlling us!"

Melty Luna looked over at Yumoto's body, "We must save him! Look at what we've done because of Dadacha!"

"Yes, I know..." Salty Sol hugged his brother, "Don't worry, we can fix it..."

"How?"

"Love, of course!" Wombat called and the twins gasped as the pink wombat ran to them, "You must love Yumoto-san to bring him back, a love crystal can be saved!"

The twins looked at one another and Melty Luna spoke, "I love how Yumoto-san led us to Gora-san, and he didn't hate us after we almost killed him."

Salty Sol laughed, "I love how Yumoto-san lets us come over a lot and we eat rice balls together."

Melty Luna smiled, "I also love how he drags us out to places! I actually enjoy it!"

The twins began to glow and as they did, the energy from them went into the sky and landed into the crystal shards.

They gasped as the shards began floating and the crystal formed again.

The twins watched in amazement and Melty Luna had tears of joy falling. He grabbed the crystal gently, "We'll save Yumoto-san...together. We the sun and the moon can stop this evil from taking place!"

The duo smiled and held each other's hand and they bent down to Yumoto. The two brought the crystal to Yumoto and let it go into him.

They watched as the boy's face returned color and his red eyes slowly opened. "Brothers-senpai...what happened?"

"Dadacha...he was controlling us, he made us shatter your crystal!" Salty Sol gasped and Yumoto frowned, "What!? I knew you two weren't evil!"

He kissed his bracelet and transformed into Scarlet, "Let's go stop him!"

The twins ran after him and gasped as Scarlet ran to his friends as Wombat followed.

----

Dadacha gasped as the doors threw open and light filled the room and a blonde boy stood there. "I am Battle Lover Scarlet, heir to the throne of Love! You evil-doer, stealer of love, I will stop you!"

"Yumoto!" Gora gasped and the twins stood beside him, "Likewise, Dadacha, Zundar, we, the VEPPer, will stop you!"

Zundar growled, "Battle Lover Scarlet...you're alive-da?!"

"Yes, the VEPPer saved my life, you Zundar, are finished taking the crystals of love!"

His friends gasped as Scarlet ran to them and he looked at them with tears in his eyes, "I-I'm sorry I failed!"

"You didn't." Cerulean smiled, "You're here and you can stop the Teeny-Tiny Brothers."

Scarlet looked at him and Vesta rubbed his hair, "You gave us a scare, we missed you!"

Scarlet laughed, "I missed you too! You're my best friends!"

Sulfur nodded, "Yes..."
Epinard gasped as Scarlet hugged him, "I'm glad you're okay too..."

The twins looked at Dadacha and Zundar, "Why do you want the Love Crystals?! What would they even do to help you?"


Zundar laughed, "Easy, we can use them to take over the world-da!"

Gora growled, "Hireashi tried to do the same thing in the past, you're trying to do what he failed at. You failed at killing my brother, and even so, you tried to get rid of me."

Zundar growled, "Maximum Gorar...we will get rid of you and your brother-da."

Scarlet growled, "Why do you want me gone? I have done nothing!"

"You made Hireashi fail to destroy the earth, you and your brother did-dacha!" Dadacha growled, "You both are a menace-dacha!"

"An-chan, how do we stop them?!" Scarlet cried and Gora frowned, "I'm not sure, you must do what you always do."

Scarlet frowned, "F-fine..."

The other Battle Lovers looked at Scarlet and Aurite spoke, "We can stop them, we always win!"

Perlite smirked and flipped his hair, "Yeah! We're stronger than those two! There is ten of us and two of them!"

Argent nodded and glared at them, "You both shall fail!"

"Fine-dacha! Try and get us!" The two laughed as they held their small hands up, "We have our monster still! Go kill the Battle Lovers-da!" Zundar yelled and Scarlet growled, "Fine, we will play your one final game, but we will win!"

"Go, Crystal Monster-da!"

Scarlet gasped as it walked forward and he growled, "We will not fail!"

"Go Battle Lovers!" Wombat yelled and Vesta laughed, "Let's kill this bitch!"

Cerulean smirked, "Yeah, this is getting old."

Epinard shook his head, "They just won't give up..."

Sulfur nodded, "Yeah...and this is getting annoying."

The Battle Lovers all nodded and they faced the monster, "Fine, let's go attack!" Vesta smirked and Zundar smirked...his monster should end them finally...
