The next day in school, Sky and Chris are sitting on their motorcycle, opening the helmet, preparing to get into the school... "Hey Sky! Look! Aren"t that"s Ai-chan?" said Chris "Yeah! It seems like she always comes to school alone." "Antisocial I guess..." "Haha!Good one!" "Okay! Let"s go! The bell almost ring." "Yeah! Let"s go!" So, they step into the school...

Chapter 7-The Lonely Girl

In the cla.s.s: "Solve the equation 2x+y=3 and...blahblablah..." "Sky, do you know how to solve..." "Zzz..." "Never mind." Maths cla.s.s, as boring as usual. Look at those princesses, so initiative and pa.s.sionate. "Sir~I don"t know how to solve this question, can you teach me?*stick really near to the teacher*" "It"s a really easy question, perhaps you can get some help from the top boy(Seito)." "No thanks! I"m having a nap!!!" Seito shouted from the back of the room while having a book cover his face. "Haha, it seems like Sky is not the only one who sleeps in the cla.s.s, I wonder how did he become the top boy?" then he continues to observe the cla.s.sroom. "Sir~Seito kun wouldn"t help me~(eww~)" "Maybe Chris could help, he is really good at this..." the teacher slowly look at Chris and saw his icy glare. "Uh... I mean Itsuki-kun could help. Right? Itsuki-kun? "Ah... Okay..." Poor Itsuki. "Such an irresponsible teacher, Miss Wayne did a better job than him, why are we even having two maths teachers? Hmm... I wonder what"s Ai-chan"s doing?" he looks at Ai. "That cloud looks delicious...*staring blankly at the window*.." "Uh-huh..better continue with my work...*continue solving equations*" Poor Chris...

"Ding dong ding dong~" "Yes!!! Good morning!!! Have a really good sleep just now!!" "Hmm...he will only wake up during recess time." "I wonder what"s the meal for today~" "I wonder if you are trying to fail your maths again." "That doesn"t matter, cafeteria, here I come!!!" "Hha...That"s Sky."

In cafeteria... "Look! That"s the lonely girl again" said Sky. "Want to sit with her?" said Chris. "Good idea, never sit with a girl before." "*staring at Sky*...Seriously?" "I mean in this school... Let"s go! Hope wouldn"t get shoo." Sky and Chris get to the table where Ai is sitting "Hey pretty!" said Sky while sitting but ignored by Ai. "Mind we sit here?" Chris ask. "Not really..." said Ai, rather awkward. "Thanks." Chris smiled and sit down. "You look kinda lonely. No friend?" Sky asked. "I don"t want to be friends with rubbish neither talk to a rubbish." "Then why are you talking with us?" "Eh? Do you think you are a rubbish?" Ai asks, slightly confused. "At least they think so..." Sky pointed at Lucie and Haruka. "And that junk(Kent) as well. Plus, just as a reminder, it"s just "you" not "us"…" said Chris. "Eh?" "The rubbish..." "Aww! Chris! That"s mean! Anyway, Ai, can we be friends with you?" Sky asked. Ai is a bit surprised by that sudden request. "Never mind...but you have to answer this...Ai, are you a dimensional connector?" "...*shock*...I..." Suddenly... "Sky, you sensed that?" said Chris while in an alert mode. "That energy wave..."

"Ahhh!..." All the people in the cafeteria collapse onto the ground except for the immortals and esper, including Ai and Itsuki but it seems like Itsuki is experiencing a serious headache... "The students! They seem to be pressed by that energy wave!" "This is the "Gospel Prayer", Immortal and high-rank esper wouldn"t get affected by it but it can cause an impact on low-rank esper and paralyzes a normal human." said Sky. "Gospeler again?" Chris ask. "Yes! Look at that...*pointed at a big whirlpool-like thing in the middle of cafeteria*.." "That"s a really big one." "If It successful come out from that portal, I will have a really hard work to do..." said Sky. "Not you alone. We will be having hard work." said Chris. A tentacle-like thing slowly crawls out of the portal... "Anyway, let"s get this thing "in"." said Sky. Chris: "Count on me." "No! You can"t!" said Ai. Both Sky and Chris: "Ai-chan?" "Within a few seconds, numerous of small portals will be open around this cafeteria! You need to get all the students out of here! If not, they will be freeze by the Icy-eyes that come out from the portals!" "Not those things again!? Thanks for that information! Come on Chris!" "Time to get the students out!But what about this.." "I"ll try to close that portal...before that thing comes out." "Okay! But be careful!" Sky and Chris leave Ai and try to get all the students out.

"How many students left?" Chris asked while carrying a student out of the cafeteria. "h.e.l.l like I know?! I didn"t even count...but I know it"s still a lot!" "And I think we are out of time...*pointed at the slowly opening portals*" "h.e.l.l right! Plan changes! Knock down as many Icy-eyes as you can and make sure the student is away from them!" Sky runs to a direction where it is crowded with students and slashes down the Icy-eyes that just about to come out of the portal...

"This thing is just getting too much and I can"t my use star trap here...*knockdown Icy-eyes with his rod*" "Where is Seito when we need him?!" "Bang! *shoot down a group of icy-eyes* Here am I." "You are really late! Gah! This will never end!" As those guys continue slashing and knocking down the icy-eye, Ai-chan is trying her best to close the big portal, with her hands risen and chanting some really long and complex spell...

"They are coming from all the direction!" said Chris "Hey! That area is unguarded!" said Seito. "d.a.m.n!" Sky is trying to get to that particular area but he is full-handed. Well, actually they could use some other technique but those techniques are too destructive and might harm the student. "d.a.m.n! Yunchan is there!" said Seito "Don"t just remember that girl, Itsuki- kun is there as well." said Chris. "Hope he can do something to stop the icy-eyes." said Chris again. "But in his condition right now." said Seito. "Shut up, there nothing we can do, if we leave here, more student is going to die!" said Sky. "But.." "Just trust me!" "Alright...*continue shooting down the icy-eyes*..."

In the unguarded area, the icy-eyes is approaching to Yuna and others. In the half kneed condition, Itsuki watched all this thing and he knows that if he didn"t do something, the students will surely die, including himself, with his condition, he can barely move his hand. But he realizes that there is no one can save him except for himself...

"d.a.m.n! They will get killed by the icy-eyes!" said Chris "No! It can"t be! d.a.m.n it!" Sky is getting frustrated and slashes the icy-eyes in a semi-insane state. "Sky!" "Gah! (almost insane)" Suddenly, despite of that serious headache, Itsuki slowly raises his right hand and lifted the hair that covers the grey eye, stares the icy-eyes for seconds, the icy-eyes fall onto the ground. "Nice move!" said Sky.

Still trying to close the portal, Ai realizes that she is lacks of something to close it...so she took out a small dagger and cut her left arm, drip the blood to the portal, put her hand together chanted a quick spell. The portal has successfully been closed.

As she closed the portal, she realizes that everyone is still fighting with the icy-eyes so she decides to lend help... a really fast one. She raises her right hand and chanted something...all the portals closed. (haha)

"Ah!... What... Ai-chan, are you the one that did this?" ask Sky. And she nodded. "You should do it earlier... ah... now shouldn"t you answer my question? Why do you know that there are small portals going to be opened and there are icy-eyes inside? Are you..." "As you know, a dimensional connector is sensitive with all the portals and links..." "So..." "Yes...I am a dimensional connector"...

Days later... "Hey! Chris, why are we been called here? Are we having a meeting or what?" Seito ask. "Well, Sky said that this is an important meeting." "What kind of important meeting that I will have to bring Itsuki along?" "You will know when Sky"s here. Having the video call connected with Yuki?" "All set." "Guess he will be here soon enough...Oh! He is here." "Hey! What"s the big matter Boss??" "As you all can see, there is a lot of things that happened recently and it"s seems we are lack of people, so I"m thinking to have a recruit today, which means we will be having new members today." "What?" "...*smile*.."
