"Eagle...Eagle."
Eagle moved back into the seat. "Lantis..."
"Eagle, use the FTO and attack the mashin."
Eagle smiled weakly, eyes still closed from the pain. "I refuse. If you die, Hikaru will be 
saddened again. I do not wish to see tears on the faces of the kawaii magic knights."
"If I die, Hikaru will be saddened. If she dies, I will not live."
Eagle's smile disappeared. "How are you so sure Hikaru will continue to live after your 
death?"
"She still has you..."
Eagle heard Hikaru scream Lantis's name for the sixth time.
"I still refuse," Eagle said. "If you wish to kill yourself in order to save her, you must 
do it without my help.
There was silence.
"Sayonara, Eagle."

Hikaru kept screaming his name in her mind.
"Lantis...Lantis...Lantis..." She choked the words out of her mouth.
Out of nowhere, Regalia's chest jewel started to glow.
"Nani?" Nova asked harshly.
"Inauzuma..."
"Lantis?!" Hikaru screamed.
"Strike!" (Gomen, I dunno exactly what he says) Lightning shot down from the sky at 
the jewel, shattering it.
Hikaru watched in horror. "But wasn't that where Lantis..." She was cut off by Nova's 
scream.
They appeared back in Cephiro. Nova dropped out of Regalia, holding Lantis's lifeless 
body against hers. She looked up at Hikaru's mashin, expecting her to appear any 
moment. A few seconds later, Hikaru appeared, tears streaming down her face. Nova 
placed Lantis on the ground and backed away.
"Lantis..."

Umi and Fuu watched Hikaru from inside their mashins. She knelt down, or rather, 
collapsed to her knees beside Lantis's body.
"Fuu...you don't think that he's...do you?" Umi asked her in a whisper.
Fuu didn't reply.
"Hikaru..."

Eagle opened the cockpit. He rolled out of the chair and landed on his knees and 
hands. His visor had shattered a while back. Blood was dripping down the side of his 
head where the glass had cut him.
"No time to worry about that now..." he thought as he got up on his feet and headed 
towards Hikaru.

Hikaru bit her bottom lip, but the tears kept coming nonetheless. She stared through 
teary eyes at his pale face. She caressed his cheek lovingly with her right hand, her 
unwounded hand. Hikaru hesitated before bending over to kiss him.
"Hikaru."
Hikaru looked up at Nova, expecting a hateful expression, but Nova's face did not 
show hate at all. Instead, it was full of pity and sadness, exactly what Hikaru was 
feeling at the time. Nova walked over to her and wrapped her arms around Hikaru, 
comforting her. Hikaru hugged Nova back, causing Nova to disappear into Hikaru's 
body.
"Nova..." Hikaru whispered to herself. She hugged herself and cried harder.
A pair of warm, gentle arms wrapped around her from behind, causing her to 
immediately stop crying. Hikaru leaned into the embrace without thinking.
"Feels just like..." Hikaru closed her eyes, letting the thought trail off.

When Hikaru opened her eyes, she was back in her room. She sat up in her bed, 
recollecting her thoughts when the door opened.
"You're awake," Eagle said, walking over to Hikaru. His cape and head accessory were 
nowhere to be seen. (What is that head thingie anyway O_o? I know it has to do with 
the mental energy thing but what is it called?)
Hikaru noticed the bandage on the side of his head. Blood was seeping through it.
"You're hurt," she said empathetically.
"What, this?" Eagle asked reaching up to touch the bandage with his hand. "It's 
nothing, really." He managed a smile, despite the pain.
Hikaru stood up out of her bed. She touched the wound with her hand, sadness 
claiming her eyes again.
"I'm ok. It'll go away soon," he reassured her, taking her hand off his wound. He 
hated it when Hikaru was about to cry. "But more importantly, how are you? You just 
fainted back there," Eagle asked her.
"I'm fine," she said.
"I'm glad," Eagle said, smiling at her again. Suddenly a sharp pain ran through his 
chest. He fell to his knees coughing.
"Damn disease..." he cursed mentally.
Hikaru fell to her knees beside him. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him 
gently, sobbing into his shoulder.
Eagle's coughing finally slowed. "Hikaru..."
"You can't die. You can't die like Lantis did..." her voice trailed off as she cried harder 
into Eagle's shirt.
"Hikaru..." Eagle hugged her back with his free hand.
