Chapter 2: Abduction: Battle Lover Cerulean:

En looked over at Yumoto, who just had his head laying on the table. En sighed, the first year still wasn't over Ryuu being kidnaped. How could any of them be over that though...? Io seemed to be taking it the hardest though...he just kept staring down at his tablet in thought.

En looked up as he heard Atsushi mutter something to Yumoto, he watched as Atsushi sat beside him and began to act like a mother soothing a child.

Wombat didn't speak...En wondered if he was feeling guilty for all of this? Yumoto sniffed and En watched Atsushi stroke the first year's hair. Io stood up, "I can't stand this any longer. We need to figure out where Ryuu is."

"I-Io-Senpai...we don't even know who really took him!" Yumoto replied and Io sighed, "I know. If we start looking, we should be able to figure it out!"

Wombat looked at Io, "Good idea." He turned to Yumoto, "Yumoto...you need to help too."

Yumoto rubbed at his puffy eyes and nodded slightly. "O-okay."

The four remaining Defense Club members walked out of the clubroom and walked out to where they had fought the Flame Monster a few days before.

Wombat began to sniff around and Io gasped as he saw Ryuu's pink phone on the ground. He quickly picked it up and looked at the others. "I found his phone..."

Yumoto looked down...he felt like this was mostly his fault. If he would have attacked it faster, Ryuu wouldn't have been taken! He felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked up to see En looking down at him. "This wasn't your fault, Yumoto." He stated and Yumoto looked away. "I feel like it is."

Io turned to him, "It wasn't. We didn't know this would happen." Atsushi nodded, "We didn't...and we won't let anyone else get taken."

En nodded, "We'll find Ryuu, together." Yumoto smiled and nodded and they all looked at their wrists as the love alert went off.

Yumoto looked at his friends and frowned. "Let's get Vesta back!" They looked around for the monster and transformed as they saw a Water Globe Monster.

Scarlet looked at the monster as it turned to them. "Why are you here?!" He demanded and the Water Globe monster replied with the same thing the Flame Monster had told them.

Scarlet's eyes widened, "I won't let you take anyone else! Give us Vesta back!" He screamed and pointed his True Love Stick at the monster. "Scarlet Love Lumiere!"

Scarlet watched as the monster dodged it and Cerulean gasped as the monster aimed its attack at Scarlet. "Yumoto!" Cerulean gasped out and quickly pushed Scarlet out of the way.

Scarlet cried out as he hit the ground and looked at Cerulean. His eyes widened and Epinard gasped as water formed around him. "Cerulean!" He yelled as the water trapped his best friend. Cerulean struggled and Epinard watched him lose the fight to stay conscious and he quickly aimed his attack at the sphere water.

The Water Globe monster smirked, "Nothing can destroy that." Wombat growled and looked at Scarlet. "Destroy the monster!"

Scarlet nodded and Sulfur growled, "I'll take care of this!" He looked at the monster, "Sulfur Love Gaia!"

The Water Globe Monster screamed out as it turned to dust and Sulfur looked at Cerulean...but nothing happened.

Scarlet froze as he watched the two from before appear beside the sphere. "NO! DON'T TAKE HIM!" He screamed and one turned around as Scarlet shot a beam at him.

The one jumped and looked at Scarlet. "You little brat!"

"Now, now..." the other replied, "We have other things to worry about."

Epinard looked at the two and Scarlet felt tears forming again, "Epinard stop them!!" He screamed and Epinard looked down. "I-I can't..."

Scarlet was held back by Epinard as he tried to run to Cerulean. "Stop! You'll get hurt!" Epinard scolded and Scarlet began to cry as Cerulean disappeared like Vesta had.

"EN-CHAN-SENPAIIII!!" Scarlet screamed and Epinard felt the youngest wrap his arms around his torso as he buried his face into his chest.

Epinard looked up and whispered, "En-chan..."

Wombat growled...who would they be after next?
