"Call!" Kai called out. "Valrod attacks!"

"Perfect guard!"

"Sing saver dragon attacks!"

"Guard! Intercept!"

"This is it. Legion, open his eyes!"

Aichi's eyes softened. "No guard."

"Damage check. Critical trigger. All effects to Legion!"

Kai watched as the sixth damage fell into Aichi's damage zone. Aichi smiled.

"Aichi! Your back!" Kai cried happily, and ran over to hug him.

"Don't come near!" Aichi shouted, making Kai stop in his tracks. Kai gave him a puzzled look. "It's time for my judgement. The judgement of my actions." Aichi murmured.

"What?" Kai watched, bewildered, as the mirrors shone once again and sent beams of light through Aichi. Kai widened his eyes.

"No, Aichi!" He screamed, running over to his injured friend. The other frank up as well. The mirrors that enclosed and spun around them shattered.

"Aichi! Wake up!" Kai screeched, shaking an unmoving boy violently. "Wake up!"

"I'm fine Kai." He murmured. Kai breathed in a sigh of relief, which was quickly cut short by a kiss. Kai widened his eyes in surprise, then returned it moments later.

They parted the kiss for the much needed oxygen. "Thank you for bringing me back to normal." Aichi murmured. "Thank you for everything."

"What?"

"Thank you for the laughs, the cries, the pain, the love, the joy."

"Aichi, what do you mean?"

"I'm really happy to have met you."

"Aichi? Aichi, what do you mean? Aichi!" Kai shouted, but it was too late.

Aichi had died.

Sorry for the sad ending, but to be fair, not all stories end happily. Nonetheless, thank you for all the support! I love you all! *Gives everyone a cookie*

Look forward to the ending if Protection, and the continuation of my story, Chess.
