The Loss of Love

Crystals of Love

Chapter 3: Crystals of Love

Salty Sol smirked as he watched Dadacha set up their trap. "So Aki, this will get Hakone Yumoto's crystal right?"

"Hopefully..."
"What if it doesn't!?" Salty Sol hissed and Melty Luna sighed, "Then we can get it ourselves."

He looked at his brother, "This better work...if it doesn't we need to get another Love Crystal from the other Battle Lovers."

The duo frowned as Dadacha finished the trap and they teleported away.

-------
As usual, Yumoto was basically late to class, his teacher wasn't there yet, which he knew. His teacher was usually later than he was.

Wombat ran by his feet and Yumoto groaned as he entered his classroom. He walked to his seat and sat down, as he pulled out a pencil it rolled onto the floor.

Yumoto frowned and bent down to pick it up. As he did his bracelet flashed, he gasped and so did Wombat. The duo watched as orbs shot out and hit each student. Yumoto paled as the orbs hit the back of his chair.

He gasped as he heard footsteps and Wombat pointed at the window. "Hurry! I sense the enemy is coming in!"
Yumoto nodded and jumped onto the window ledge. He bit his lip as he opened it and looked for a place to stand.

He quickly moved and as he did, a voice spoke, "Dammit...Hakone Yumoto wasn't hit!"

Yumoto hid by the window and bit his lip. "I need to stand completely still..." he thought and looked up.

"Dammit..." a voice spoke, "How did we fail!? He had to have walked in to trigger the trap!"
"I'm not sure..."

The first voice growled, "Well, we need to find Hakone Yumoto!"
"Yes, I know, Haru. But we have all of these crystals...we could send out a monster and get us a Battle Lover."

Yumoto froze and quickly hid as Salty Sol poked his head out the window, "He's gone..."
"Come, Haru. We have a monster to create."

Yumoto let out a sigh of relief as they left and Wombat spoke, "We need to warn the others!"

Yumoto nodded and looked at Wombat, "We need to stop them...we can't let them have another one of us!"

-----
Kinshiro was filling out a paper in the Student Council room and frowned as the door opened.

Ibushi walked in and spoke, "Kinshiro, there was a disturbance in Class 1-A."

"1-A?"
"Yes, the same class that Hakone Yumoto-kun is in."

Kinshiro froze and dropped the pen he was holding. As it fell, ink splattered over the paper and he looked up, "Is he alright?"

Ibushi nodded, "Yes."

Akoya sighed, "But all of the students in that class were attacked and are all unconscious."

Kinshiro stood up, "We must help At-chan and the others this time."

Akoya nodded, "Good idea, president."

The three stood up and Kinshiro gasped as he heard something. He ran to the window and yelled, "We must go down there now! Their monster is already out there!"

--------
The three remaining Battle Lovers ran out after they transformed to get the monster. Scarlet looked at the monster, which was a Bottle Monster.

"Scarlet Love Lumiere"

The Bottle Monster smirked as it sucked up his attack, then it quickly shot it back. Scarlet screamed as he was hit by it and Cerulean growled, "We need to get rid of this! We need to get Sulfur and Vesta back."

Epinard nodded and Scarlet stood back up shakily. He looked up and gasped as he saw the VEPPer, "Senpais!"

The VEPPer jumped down to them and Salty Sol smirked, "This monster is pointless to us." He laughed as he saw the Caerula Adamas jump in front of the Battle Lovers. "Now we have you all where we want you."

Melty Luna smiled and Scarlet gasped as the Bottle Monster disappeared with a snap of their fingers.

"Now, which one do we choose today?"
"I say we take Scarlet...but that's too easy. We should make him suffer." Salty Sol hissed and pointed at Cerulean, "Let's get rid of him and maybe Epinard as well."

Aurite growled and pulled out his sword, "Not on my watch!"

Scarlet gasped, "Don't take them! You can take me! I won't let you do anything else!"

"No." Cerulean spoke, "I'll give up. We need you, Scarlet. You're the only one who can stop them."

Epinard frowned, "En-chan please...we...we can do this together! We can stop them and get Io and Ryuu back!"

Scarlet nodded, "Yeah!"
Cerulean shook his head, "No. It'll be okay. I believe in all of you."

"Oh enough." Salty Sol laughed and pointed his hand towards the three of them, "Now, Aki."

"Love Crystal Extraction!"

Cerulean prepared himself as best as he could as he saw the orbs coming to him and cried out as he was hit. A blue light shot out from him and a light blue Love Crystal appeared.

"W-what?!" Perlite screamed and Argent stood there with wide eyes as Aurite dropped his sword.

Cerulean hit the ground and the twins walked forward to grab it. "The Love Crystal of Cerulean..." Salty Sol smirked, "Not much to say about it."

Scarlet gasped as he slowly began to disappear.

"EN-CHAN!" Epinard screamed and tears filled Scarlet's eyes. "N-No...! N-no!" He screamed and looked at the twins. "I-I..."

"You what? Hate us?" Salty Sol laughed and Scarlet's knees buckled to the ground as he sobbed. "I-I WANT MY FRIENDS BACK!" He screamed at them and Salty Sol smiled, "Well, if you give up yours, then your friends will be back."

"A-Atsushi...don't cry..." Cerulean smiled weakily as he grabbed Epinard's hand "You...you have to protect Yumoto still..."

"E-En-chan...p-please don't say that...you'll be okay!" Epinard cried and Scarlet looked at Cerulean, "En-chan-senpai...d-don't go!" He sobbed, "Don't leave us!"

Cerulean groaned, "I'm sorry, Yumoto...Atsushi. Please...both of you, stop them before it's too late..."

The two remaining Battle Lovers both screamed Cerulean's name as he disappeared.

Aurite looked at Epinard, "A-At-chan..." He whispered and looked at the VEPPer. "Are you proud of yourselves?!" He yelled, "If you are, then you are nothing! You think Maximum Gorar will ever pay attention to you again if Yumoto tells him what you've done!?"

The twins laughed, "We don't care." Melty Luna replied and his brother nodded, "Yes, for once we have the Love Crystal of Scarlet, we'll be impossible to beat." After he said that, the twins teleported away.

The Caerula Adamas looked at one another and frowned.

Aurite looked at Epinard, "At-chan...we'll get them...we'll get the VEPPer and get back the other three."

Epinard nodded, "I-I hope we can."
