Meanwhile at the college in Tiga's room. She was on her bed tossing and turning as if something was wrong. Suddenly Tiga woke up on the floor of a church and was getting soaked. She looked up and saw it's pouring rain and the Church had no roof. She looked around and saw blood on her hands. Her shirt was torn where you can see her bra and her jeans were ripped where there was a hole where her kneecap is. She gets up and looks around and sees Ostrythe was holding Raven's body as if she was dead. They both were by the altar and then she saw Von by the entrance with a greatsword that is dark red. A dark menacing aura came from him. It was very frightening but Ostrythe gentle put Raven down and turned to Von and slowly took out his Twin swords. His Aura was beginning to show and it was light green and he turned into Wolf Mark II. The two boys were getting ready to strike at each other but right before Stacy came from the entrance trying to reach for Von but the boys strike and a big white explosion came from the strike wiping everything away and Tiga woke up screaming out loud in her dorm room sweating. Ryder and Veronica both bust into the room with great concern.
"What happened!?!" Ryder asked as he looked at Tiga. Veronica had her katana ready but nothing there and left down her guard and smiled at Tiga. Veronica walked up to her and gave her a hug. Then walked out of the room before she left she winked at tiga then left.
"Is she mute?" Ryder asked, looking so confused.
"I actually don't know?" Tiga responded back to Ryder as she looked at him signaling him to get out. Ryder not catching the memo and just looking at her.
"So you wanna see me in my bra and panties?" Tiga asked sarcastically as she pointed at the door.
"I was here to check if you were alright. And you didn't even answer my question." Ryder said as he sighs and shakes his head. Tiga got up and grabbed his bag from her clothes and handed it to him.
"I'm okay. Get changed because I want to go see my sister in the hospital." Tiga demanded as she shoved Ryder out of her room and closed her door.
"It's really crazy that you wanna claim my Little sister but not claim her older brother." Ryder said walking to the bathroom. Ten minutes later Ryder came out of the bathroom wearing a brown T-shirt and dark blue jeans with black sneakers. Tiga came out of her room in a red sundress with her hair on the left side as she continued to brush it down. Veronica sat on the couch reading a book and took a quick glance at Tiga. Veronica shook her head at Tiga and went back to reading. Noticing what Verionica did Tiga went up to her.
"What's the problem with this outfit Veronica?" Tiga asked as she took her book from her. Veronica pulled another book from under the couch and started reading again. Stacy opens the dorm room and looks at Tiga and Veronica fighting with a book.
"Umm Ryder what is your girlfriend doing with Veronica?" Stacy asked, looking confused as she went to the kitchen.
"She is not my girlfriend, we are just friends, nothing more than that." Ryder said as he walked to the door getting ready to leave.
"Hey Tiga! Ryder took me out to dinner last night and then he said that we are going to his room later tonight. I don't know how to feel about that..." Stacy said ducking so she can't get spotted. Tiga turned around and went to Ryder and gave him the death look. She opened the dorm room and went to the elevator.
"You still sure that you guys aren't a couple?" Stacy asked, winking at Ryder and then opening the fridge to look for food.
"Stacy, remember that okay? So when I do that to you I don't want to hear you say anything." Ryder said as he walked out of the suit and waited with Tiga. Elevator doors opened and they went in and as the doors closed Ryder saw a 13 year old little girl standing there looking at him smiling. Later as they walked in the city Ryder looked at the sky and sigh.Tiga looked up and then saw the dark clouds in her dreams and fell back luckily Ryder caught her.
"Damn I didn't think you'll let Stacy get to you. Usually it's the other way around." Ryder said laughing at her.
"She is growing. It was hard for her to get her to move forward after the death of someone that was very important to her." tiga said as they continued to walk to the hospital. As they continue to walk Ryder sees that little girl again among the crowd and when he turned around looked behind him she was also there. There was a crosswalk and Ryder grabbed Tiga and they crossed the street.
"So what's the issue?" Tiga asked, very concerned about him. Ryder saw a taxi and went to it and helped Tiga get in the taxi then got in after. Ryder let the taxi driver know to go to the hospital and paid him upfront.
"Ryder what the hell is wrong with you?" Tiga looked at him, really confused and more concerned about him.
"I hope I'm wrong but I see little girls everywhere I look." Ryder said, putting hands on his face. Trying not to laugh, Tiga looked out of the window and was thinking of logical reasons for this situation.
"You're scared that your sister might die. So you're envisioning these little girls because you subconsciously are accepting the fact that she may not make it." Tiga stated as she reached out to give him a hug. The taxi driver stopped as he reached his destination. Ryder and Tiga got out of the taxi and looked at the hospital. When they went inside Ryder's whole vibe changed from worry to complete sadness. Tiga saw how Ryder wasn't ready to see his sister so she grabbed his hand and smiled at him.They went to the front desk to get a pass that will allow them to see Ryder's sister. When they got the passes they went to go see her on the 4th floor. When Ryder and Tiga made it to her room, Ryder opened the door slowly and saw that little sister was sitting by the window just gazing at the blue sky. She is wearing a hospital gown and has short brown hair. Her face is round and her light brown eyes are a bit drowsy like she had a hard time sleeping.
"What are you doing not laying down on the machine Luna?" Ryder questioned as he went to go hug her. Luna smiled faintly and hugged him back and waved to Tiga.
"They said my lungs are strong enough for me to get up and stretch for a while." Luna responded back as she went back to her bed and sat on it. She looked at Ryder and Tiga smiled at them.
"So you guys made it official yet? Or you guys are still dancing around the brush?" Luna asked bluntly, staring at Ryder wondering if he's going to give her a different excuse. Tiga walked up to them and gently pat Luna's head.
"What would a 12 year old young lady know about relationships?" Tiga asked as she chuckled at her.
"Well the fact that Ryder talks about you alot. Like alot alot but that's not the only reason. The other reason is that I know that only you know that I exist and your other friends don't know about me." Luna replied back as she looked at Ryder and smiled.
"That is true but how did you even know that?" Tiga followed up with another question. Looking at Ryder and shaking her head at him. He looks so confused like a deer in headlights.
"I pieced everything together and Ryder is terrible at hiding his emotions from me." Luna responded back as she giggled at Ryder.
"Alright we aren't going to be on me all day now. Just came here to support my little sister and my friend came along to support as well." Ryder said bluntly and sat down on an empty chair.
"Friend he said shaking my head big brother." Luna said as she made quotation marks with her hands. All three of them laughed together and suddenly Luna started coughing a lot and started wheezing like she was trying to get air in her body. Ryder quickly got up and put the hospital mask that is hooked up to the machine on Luna and pressed the emergency button to call in a nurse. Few seconds later a nurse came in and helped Luna, then she started to relax. Everyone in the room started to breathe calming as well.
"I'm sorry for scaring everybody. I laughed a bit too much." Luna said as she gave a faint smile to everyone. The nurse smiled back and left the room and Ryder plotted down on the chair rubbing his temple as he was stressed out.
"Luna, no need to worry we were just concerned about you. Cheer up we here for you beautiful." Tiga replied, trying to cheer her up with a smile.
"Tiga can you promise me something?" Luna asked looking up to her.
"Of course anything you want." Tiga said as she hugs Luna.
"Ryder may disagree but I think I am going to die soon. So I want you to promise me that you'll be there for him while I'm gone." Luna said as she smiled at Tiga and gave a sigh. Shocked by what she said Ryder stood up and looked at Luna.
"Don't talk like that! I told you to never talk like that. Do you understand me?" Ryder demanded as he turned away in anger. Luna put her head down like she was about to cry. Tiga got up and walked towards him.
"Ryder let's go talk outside. Like right now." Tiga said as she pointed to the door. Then Tiga walked up to Luna and gave her a kiss on the cheek and smiled at her. Luna wiped her face and hugged Tiga. Tiga left the room and closed the door and saw Ryder pacing back and forth.
"A 12 year old girl shouldn't be talking like that. She is supposed not to be in there. But ever since she was 6 she was in that room. This is Bullshit!!" Ryder vented out aggressively. Tiga went up to him and kissed him passionately on the lips. Ryder held Tiga tightly like he didn't want to let her go. They both stopped and put their forehead on each other. Suddenly everything stopped. Like there was no one that was moving but they could.
"What's going on? It's like time just stopped..." Tiga said as she looked at the ticking clock and it wasn't moving at all.
"That's because it did stop Tiga." A mysterious voice said. Tiga went behind Ryder and he put up his guard. Then they both saw a small 5''2 figure walking down the hallway from them. Ryder took a closer look and saw it was that girl from before. She had a bob hairstyle and was walking in a yellow hooded cloak with pointy bunny ears. She was walking down with a book that has twin hearts on it.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you following us?" Ryder asked as he looked for a way out but realised his sister would be left alone.
"I am here for you both. Tiga had a vision that I must know about. Then there's you Ryder, you are the key to find the other pieces to stop The Boss." The mysterious young lady said and stopped 10 feet away from them. Tiga realized that this mysterious person was referring to her dream. She gripped Ryder's arm tighter. As Ryder started to grit his teeth at the mysterious person.
"As for my name...I am Mimi Shinori. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." Mimi said as she gave them a smile.
"What do you mean I am the key?" Ryder asked. He prepared himself if she was going to run at him. Pushing Tiga to Luna's room door so she can be safe with her.
"I'll put it simple for you, you're a Time Walker." Mimi responds to him and disappears and reappears right in front of him. Tiga couldn't respond at all and just froze up with fear in her eyes. Ryder backed up and gasped, closing his eyes.
