The Loss of Love

Chapter 13: The Loss of Love

Scarlet screamed as the monster charged at him, "You both need to stop!"

Zundar laughed, "You failed before Battle Lover Scarlet-da."

"That's because you forced my crystal from me!"

"That is because your crystal shines the brightest here-dacha!"

Scarlet frowned, "So, you basically kill me four times and yet you're trying it again?"

"YES-dacha! If we get you, then the Earth can be destroyed!"

Scarlet growled, "Yet, you hurt Wombat...!"

"Wombat?"Salty Sol spoke, "But he-he told us how to save you!"

"He did? That's not possible! He's been down...!"

Scarlet turned to his friends, "H0-how will we bring him back...?"

Zundar smirked, "You can't-da."

"I can...! You said the same thing when my brother was gone! You and Dadacha have been very bad..." Scarlet growled, "I will not fail! For love may have been lost, but now it is back!"

Zundar growled, "Crystal Monster, kill him-da!"

Scarlet grunted as crystal shards shot at him and cried out as he was overpowered.

His friends ran to him and they were forced down as well. "Da-dammit!" Vesta hissed and Sulfur looked at him, "We can't stop now!"

"I know! This monster is just strong as hell!"

Scarlet gasped as Cerulean and Epinard stood in front of him, "En-chan...we can't fall here, we're so close!"

Cerulean nodded, "Exactly...!"

Scarlet looked down and Vesta stood up shakily, "Yeah, we're not going to fail here!"

He helped Sulfur up and Sulfur smiled, "We're not getting taken down that easily!"

Scarlet smiled and stood up as well. "We are the Battle Lovers! We will never let the loss of love occur ever again!"

Zundar growled, "Battle Lover Scarlet...we'll just tear your crystal out for good this time-da!"

"Yeah, don't you feel it wanting to burst out-dacha?"

Scarlet froze and felt his chest as he felt warmth fill it.
"Stop!" Aurite yelled, "Stop it!"

Argent growled as he used his chains to wrap around Zundar. "You will not get Hakone-san's crystal again, he has been hurt too many times!"

Scarlet frowned as crystal shards surrounded him from the monster and his friends all had some as well.

He froze as he saw his reflection but it was him in his school uniform...but his eyes were...wrong. "I gave up...I lost. Love is gone...my crystal is gone. I failed..."

Scarlet bit his lip and he felt his mind go blank, and his hand go to his chest. "Give it up...give into it."

Zundar smirked as Scarlet looked at the crystal and Dadacha smiled, "He'll give up, an-chan-dacha!"

Salty Sol growled, "Damn you both!" The twins looked at one another. "Aki...we must stop them!"

Melty Luna nodded and the duo ran to Scarlet, "Stop it!"

Scarlet looked at them with blank eyes, "Why...? There's no point."

"Why?!"

"Love is lost...I am alone..."
