## Summary

The Guardians realize the danger they are in.

## Plot

Yumeka calls for Kaito, telling them that they are in danger. Kaito asks to wait for them.

Meanwhile, Miyuki and Yuki are talking about some board games when Ayaka suddenly comes in. Ayaka gives a red rose to Yuki; Yuki is surprised and asks Ayaka how she knew that she liked red roses. Ayaka responds by saying she just guessed and Yuki jokes about having sensed it like with the portal. Ayaka bursts into tears, afraid of the portal energy, and Miyuki is concerned.

Miyu and Mizuki are discussing about Mizuki's new power. Mizuki does not want that to mean that she is the Queen, as she feels already tired by being a Guardian. Miyu tries to cheer her up by joking about being able to have a disco with Mizuki's power. Mizuki laughs.

Yuki, Miyuki, and Ayaka enter the room. While Miyuki comforts Ayaka, Yuki asks Axel to explain who's back. Axel does not answer that question. Alex replies, instead, saying that the people hunting for the Guardians are back. Miyuki is shocked that such people exist; Ayaka starts crying again and Miyuki comforts her once more. Alex asks Axel for permission to tell the others about his story. Axel agrees.

Alex basically informs everyone that, when they were in TrAy, they were told they could leave and they did do that. However, members of RomReo found Axel and they took him. Axel was drugged. Alex tried to heal him but there was nothing to do. He is still able to use his power but it hurts when he does so.

Kaito comes in and tells everyone that Axel got Corrupted. Axel was scared by Kaito's sudden entrance and asks them how they came here; Kaito simply replies with "Yumeka". The Guardians look at Yumeka sleeping, grateful that she got Kaito to help. Axel explains to his best friend that Mizuki, Ayaka, and Miyu got attacked by a member of RomReo. Ayaka adds that Mizuki saved them and that Miyu got drugged. Miyu forgot about that.

When Alex is asked if he saved Axel's power, he says that he could not stop him from hurting and that he could not get his second power back. Finally, Alex gets Miyu to follow him so he can heal her. Kaito does not stop joking and tells the others that they don't want to fight but can sometimes do it, if bored. Yuki is unsure on what they need to save. Yumeka wakes up. Yumeka makes an assumption and claims that a certain someone is going to destroy the timeline.
