~Zero's POV~
The night had moved so quickly that I wasn't really sure how I had gotten to where I was now. I was about to break into that van and get Ariel out of there. Funny, how not long before this, we were all enjoying a nice, relaxing dip in the hot springs.

I had been knocked unconscious while they ran off with Ariel. These guys must have been good, otherwise, Ariel would have been able to hold them off on her own. Plus, there had been so many of them, it was hard to do anything at all. Either way, when I had come to, I had kiyoko and a crying Asuka to deal with.

I left them back at the hotel, knowing if something happened Kiyoko would be able to handle it. IT would be easier if I didn't have to worry about the both of them too.

A few feet away from the van, I crawled closer. I didn't notice any of the attackers that would be close enough to stop me, so I rushed forward. One found me, and I was able to silently knock him down and out. Carrying his limp body into the bushes, I had make sure the others didn't see the body and wonder what was going on and rush to help, catching me in the act.

At the van, I silently unlocked the back end and opened it. Please oh please let everyone be ok, I prayed as I peered inside.
