===============================================================================================
Chapter 13One night, while the night was still peaceful without any disturbances from evil occurring at all, Yui was sleeping at her place. Her pet cat Bisu was curled up at her side and purring as it slept. Yui felt good that nothing had happened and everything seemed normal. She could relax for once and was able to sleep with no problems.
Her mind then slowly drifted into a dream. It was a strange dream, she couldn’t see anything and she felt cold, even though it was summer. She at first maybe thought it was the air conditioner turning her room into a freezing cellar, but something felt unworldly of this atmosphere, it wasn’t normal.
In her dream, Yui could hear something. A sweet voice, of someone singing…
“Can you hear my voice? Is my cry reaching you? Please say you can hear me. Find me in the darkness, and bring back the light. Rescue me from this nightmare, I can’t wake up...”“Who’s there..?” Yui called out, but she then had a sudden feeling she was being swallowed by darkness. She tried to search for some way out, some light, but her body was sinking into pitch blackness surrounding the room. She heard the voice once again, which let out a desperate cry.
“Help me… Someone, help me!”Yui’s eyes shot open as she woke up, sitting up from the bed. As she caught her breath, she remembered the song she heard and the cry for help.
The girl’s voice sounded frightened. Even in her song, she could feel an overwhelming pain and sadness. This girl needed help, but she didn’t know what for or who it was.
“Who was that..?”
The voice echoed in her head again.
“Help me..!”“‘Help me’?”
--------------------------------------------------
The next morning at the base, the five girls were discussing plans on how to defeat Obsidian and his army.
“Obsidian is just getting stronger everyday…”
“Yeah. And his army is just as bad. Especially that one dark warrior, Black Amethyst.”
“We need to figure out how to stop them. We don’t know what they could be planning next…”
The girls then noticed Yui was looking pretty exhausted, like she may doze off any second.
"Whoa...you okay there Yui?" Sayanee was the first to ask.
Yui blinked a few times before looking up.
“Huh…? Oh...Actually, I didn’t get a lot of sleep...” she said as she rubbed her eyes before yawning, “I had the strangest dream.”
“Dream?” Jurina repeated, “What was it about?”
Yui took a moment but had trouble remembering. “Mm… I don’t remember all of it clearly…but I remember hearing someone calling for help.”
“Do you know who it was?”
“No… I just knew she sounded scared...”
“Someone.. help me!”That was the last thing Yui remembered from the dream. “I wonder who it was...” she asked herself.
“Guys!” Yuko and Kana suddenly came in, looking very alert about something.
“What’s wrong?”
“We found something,” said Yuko.
“Eh?” The group walked up to the monitor.
“This,” Kana pointed at a blinking red dot on the screen, “We picked up a reading of Gem energy here. Only it wasn’t there before.”
“We think it’s what’s been causing the disruptions with our technology. We couldn’t see it until the infrared was up.”
“Oh, yeah. I remember that.”
“We were finally able to pinpoint the location of where the energy was coming from.”
“How did it get there?”
“We don’t know. But, it’s very powerful.”
“You girls need to go to this location,” Yuko handed them a sheet of paper that pointed out the location of the energy waves, “and find the Prism Gem before Obsidian and his army.”
“Alright. Let’s go!”
----------------------------------------
“This is it...”
It took the girls a while, but they were able to find the location from the coordinates Yuko gave them and ended up underground. They were now in the sewers of an underground water drain that ran beneath Tokyo.
“Yuko said that the Gem energy was coming from in here. Let’s find the source of it and see what we can do,” said Yui.
Jurina plugged her nose from the smell. “Blech! Why on earth does it have to be down here?”
“Whatever the reason, there’s something down here and we need to find it!”
“Everyone, split up and start searching,” Yui then suggested.
“Hai!”
They entered the area and each went to a different part of the sewers, searching and scavenging for anything that could’ve been causing the energy waves. Sayaka held out the tracking device Yuko had given her. Each time she thought she was close, the result always came up negative.
“Where could it be..?”Mako and Haruppi talked as they search the stinky sewers.
“You know I heard a lot of rumors about this place… that there are monsters, mutated animals. Someone actually got lost down here and was murdered by an animal,” Mako spoke as they walked.
“Do...Do you think they’re true?” a slightly nervous Haruppi asked.
“Who knows…?”
At that moment, Mako was about to venture into another tunnel. But before she could, she got startled when she came in contact with some kind of invisible wall that sent her back and made her fall on her butt.
“Ow!” she yelped as she hit the ground, holding her bum. “That hurt..!”
She looked in front of her and wondered why on earth she couldn’t go in. It felt like there was a huge wall that hit her in the face, but there was nothing there.
“Kojimako!” Haruppi and the others ran to her. “Are you okay?”
“Something pushed me back… Here,” she pointed at the tunnel.
Jurina walked up and put her hand out. Something shocked her hand and made her draw it back. Now the five of them can see some sort of faint see through wall made entirely out of energy.
“It must be some kind of barrier. A strong one, too.”
And indeed, Sayanee spotted on the wall some faint symbols of some sort. But as she looked closer, she realized that the symbols resembled the same ones Yuko and the others in the magical realm use. It was the same ancient language written in their oldest books.
“Hey...that’s the symbol of the first PRISM Knights! From Yuko’s generation, before our time!”
Seeing that, the girls are now convinced that the Gem, or something important to the knights, must be hidden on the other side of the barrier. Now the question was: how do they get through the barrier?
After a moment of thinking, Yui came upon a solution. “I have an idea. Let’s all hit it with all our magic. Maybe our powers might be able to break it.”
They don’t know if it will work, but it is worth a try.
All the girls then stood in a row in front of the barrier and held their Gems out.
“Ready?”
“Hai!”
They concentrated their energy and shot beams of light at the barrier. The symbols started to glow intensely and their Gems gave off an incredible aura, which also grew hotter as they continued.
The next moment, they saw the barrier break and created an opening.
“Let’s go!” They stepped through the barrier and went inside the tunnel.
They used the light from their Gems to find their way through the tunnel and into a dark room on the other side. They searched every corner to find what was causing the energy waves, Sayanee frequently checking the tracking device as they found they were getting closer.
As they examined the area, Jurina then noticed something sitting in the corner. It was something rather large, covered by a white sheet.
“Guys… what’s that?” she said, pointing at the mysteriously covered object.
They all walked towards it. Yui scanned the sheet with her wristwatch.
Looking at the readings, she spoke, “There’s massive amount of energy coming from this. Whatever’s under the sheet, it might be the cause of the sudden energy bursts.”
Haruppi gulped. “S-so, who should pull it off?” she said, a bit scared to do it herself.
Jurina and Sayaka looked at each other for a bit, then looked at Yui. Before the eldest could say anything, Mako stepped forward.
“I’ll do it,” she said.
“Woah, Mako sure is brave,” Jurina stated softly.
“Ganbatte,” Haruppi also said.
After making her decision, Mako stepped closer until she’s right in front of the covered object. She then took a deep breath, reached out, grabbed an end, and slowly pulled off the sheet. And the first thing revealed in front of the group was a head. Mako then pulled off the rest of the sheet, revealing a young girl, asleep. She had short hair that was tied in a tiny ponytail and was wearing an outfit that doesn’t look like modern day clothes.
In fact, it was a robe, with long sleeves and a hood. It was a long robe that barely covered her feet, which were bare, as if her shoes were missing, and it had a strange symbol on the back of it. The robe was mostly white and silver, but there was also a hint of gold trimming.
The girls, not expecting to find a person in a place like this instead of a Gem, were left clueless.
“Who is this..?” Mako was the first to say.
“Oi~” Haruppi slapped the girl’s cheek a bit, “Are you awake~?”
“She’s not waking up at all,” Sayanee said as they got no response from the sleeping girl.
Jurina then gasped and said with concern, “What if she’s…?”
Yui knelt down and put her ear against the girl’s chest. She heard the soft beating of the girl’s heart.
“She’s alive.”
“Haa~ good,” Mako sighed in relief.
“What is she doing here?”
“I don’t know...”
Just then, Yui’s Gem reacted to something. She looked and saw a pendant on the girl’s chest, glowing a silver light. It looked very similar to the pendants they had, yet a bit different. On her pendant was a silver gemstone, which seemed to be glowing faintly. Rather than looking like the other Gems they’ve been trying to recollect since they became the Prism Knights, the girls noticed that this Gem resembled somewhat close to...their own. Which meant...
“Is that a… Prism Gem?” Mako asked.
“Does that mean, the energy waves that Yuko and Kana picked up on the radar was from her?”
“Probably...”
“But, why does she have one? And how long has she been here?”
“No idea…”
As all of them were talking, Yui’s mind was racing with everything that was going on. She looked at the Gem which was dangling on the girl’s chest. She touched the silver crystal, causing a bright flash.
The feeling she got from it remained on her fingertips for a few seconds.
“Hot...”As it subsided, the girl’s eyes slowly opened. She looked at the group of girls, staring at them.
“Who are you...?” was the first words she spoke.
Yui looked at the girls, who all just stared in shock. She decided to simply introduce herself to the girl.
“My name is Yui. Yokoyama Yui. What are you doing here?”
“I...”
Just then, the girl gasped and showed a look of worry.
“What’s wrong?” asked Jurina.
She suddenly sat up and looked around, then got up in a panic. “Where is she...? She’s not here..! I need to find her..!”
“Who?”
“I’ve gotta go back there!” Without an explanation, the girl ran off in a hurry, leaving behind the puzzled knights with their questions unanswered.
“Hey wait a moment--!”
“What’s gotten into her?”
“Don’t know. But come on!” The five then ran off after her.
---------------------------------
Using instincts, the tall robed girl ran through the sewers until she saw light and a tunnel leading to the outside, which is where she ran to. When she got outside, she kept looking around. That was when she realized that she has no idea where exactly she is at the moment.
“What? W-Where am I? Where is she..?” She held her pendant, closing her eyes. When she opened them up, her eyes filled with more worry. “Why? Why can’t I feel her?”
“Hey,” Yui and the group walked back up to the tall girl. “What’s wrong?”
“I-I… I need to find...”
“You’re looking for someone, right? We’ll help!” Haruppi spoke.
“Eh? Really?”
“Yes. What does she look like?”
“Eto, she’s tall, like me, and she has long hair and a beautiful face with sharp features. And, she has a necklace, just like mine, but the crystal is gold.”
Yui thought over the details.
“Tall, long hair, beautiful face with sharp features, gold crystal… Do we know anyone who looks like that?”For some reason, Yui can’t help but think that the description of the missing person sounds familiar to her.
“Please, I need to find her, quick!”
“Okay, calm down, we’ll find her,” Jurina said, but then she couldn’t help but look at the girl’s clothes, “Um, I have to ask... what’s with your outfit?”
“Eh?!”
“Jurina!”
“Don’t be rude!” Sayanee scolded.
“I’m sorry, but, you don’t often see people wear…THAT anymore. It’s like you aren’t from this time.”
The girl was confused by what Jurina was saying, but then, as she took deep thought into it, an idea entered her head and made her scream. Startled by the sudden scream, the girls jumped.
Then Jurina asked, “Whoa! Wh-what’s wrong?!”
“What…what year is this?” the girl suddenly asked.
Yui furrowed her eyebrows. “Eh? Why are you asking?”
“Please just tell me!”
“Um...2015.”
“2015...” the girl repeated, but then a second later her eyes widened and she screamed, “EH?! I-i-it’s not 2012?!”
“What?!”
“2012?”
“But, that was 3 years ago...”
Slowly, the shocking truth came to her.
"EEHHHH!?" the girl exclaimed again, "Wait, you mean...I was out for 3 years!?"
It was obviously a huge shock when you find out that you've been sleeping for 3 years. The girl held her head as she tried to swallow the new information.
"No way...I could've sworn I remember being in a forest just last night, and…” Suddenly, the girl clutched her head in pain, rubbing her temples. "Erk..! Itai..."
“Are you okay?”
“Er… y-yeah… just a headache...”
"Well after sleeping for 3 years straight, I guess that's to be expected," Jurina couldn't help but mention.
“It makes no sense...” she said as she held her head. “I only felt like I was asleep a couple of hours, but…3 years..?!”
The group watched as the girl knelt down to the ground, holding her head and started crying.
“What do I do…? What if I can’t find her..? She… she might be…!”
Sayanee then knelt down in front of the girl and rubbed her back.
“Don’t worry,” she reassured. “We’ll help find your friend.”
The girl sniffled. “Really..?”
“Un.”
“Do you know where she might be?” Mako then asked.
The girl shook her head. “She could be anywhere… but.. I’m determined to find her.”
Haruppi nodded. “And we’ll help.”
“Thank you.”
Now Sayanee had a question that she wanted to know first.
“So by the way, what’s your name?”
The girl remembered that she had yet to introduce herself to the ones who have woken her up.
“Oh. Well I’m--”
But it was here that the conversation will have to be put on hold when a beeping sound came from their Prism Gems. The five girls knew what this means.
"One of Obsidian’s minions is attacking!" Yui told the girls, "Come on!"
Just as she began to run, Jurina called out, "But wait! What do we do about this person?"
The mystery girl gave an oblivious expression. "What is going on here?"
Yui knew that the girl wanted answers since she is unaware of the things that happened while she was sleeping.
"Um look this is hard to explain right now, but please wait here for a while," she requested the girl, "I promise we'll be back to answer your questions as soon as we can."
“Eh...?”
“Let’s go!” Yui said as she lead the group and ran off with everyone.
After being left behind, the girl now became more confused than before.
But the confusion was put to the side when she detected a feeling she had not felt for a long time yet it was familiar.
"This feeling… does this mean these girls are...?”
Suddenly she realized something that one of the girls said just now.
“Wait...Did she just say Obsidian?”
-------------------------------------------------
The girls arrived back in Akihabara and saw, not Lapis and Topaz, but what looked like some Geodites that had a bit more of a humanoid form, still mixed with monstrous traits.
“Who the heck are you guys?!” Sayanee was the first to react to the new Geodites’ appearance.
“Hehehe~ we’re minions to Topaz-sama,” a tall slender one hissed.
“Out causing trouble again. We’ll stop you!” Jurina stated.
“Let’s go!” Yui and the girls held up their Gems. “Energize!”
At once, they transformed and summoned their weapons.
“Prepare yourselves!”
The girls started to fight the minions one by one. Being what seemed like a higher rank of a Geodite, they were much more skilled opponents and very powerful.
Sayanee and Haruppi were back to back fighting them, but they swiftly dodged most of their attacks. Jurina tried to catch them on by surprise, charging from behind, but one happened to notice and dodged, causing her to crash into her teammates.
“Sorry you guys!”
“I’ll take care of this!”
Mako swung her hammer and tried to hit the larger minion, but he pushed it back with a strong force and caused her to let go of the sword and comically spin out of control until she fell.
“Uwaa~ everything’s spinning…” she said dizzily.
“Your turn!” the slender one pointed at Yui.
The two minions charged and came at Yui with nonstop attacks. Yui blocked each one and held them back as best as she could.
From a distance, a certain someone was watching all this and smiled.
“I knew it.”
Yui slashed her sword, but she didn’t notice one of the minions pick up Mako’s hammer and was about to use it on her.
“Yuihan!”
When Yui looked back, she saw the large Geodite lifting the hammer and swinging it down on her. She shut her eyes as it was about to come in contact.
*SMACK*To the girls' surprise, the mystery girl they found earlier had arrived and blocked the attack, pushing back the heavy hammer and knocking the enemy away.
“What the--?!”
Yui opened her eyes and saw the robed girl now pick up Mako’s hammer and handing it back to the girl before facing the enemy again.
“I think this belongs to you,” said the robed girl.
"What are you doing here? I asked you to stay behind!" said Yui.
“Stay behind?” the girl said, “Not when you girls are up against evil wackos like these guys.”
Now after the girl had appeared, the bad guys were both confused, and at the same time, intrigued.
“Who’s that girl? She must think she’s got some guts for coming up against us.”
“And how dare she call us ‘wackos’!”
“Ha! No matter, we’ll just kill her and get her out of the way!”
The mystery girl grinned. “Oh really?”
“Weak humans like you should just run away, or we’ll have to get rid of you ourselves!”
“Try, then! Come at me!” she yelled out.
Yui became worried and shouted, "Wait stay back! They're too dangerous!”
“I’m sorry, Yui-chan… but, there’s something important I have to do.”
“Eh?”
The girl held her necklace, the silver crystal shining as she saw her reflection in the gem.
"Time to get back the 3 years I've missed…”
When the girls saw her held up her own pendant, they had a hunch of what was going to come next.
"Wait...is she going to...?"
“...Does that mean she’s…?”
One of the minions happened to see the Gem and their eyes filled with fear.
“That’s...!”
The robed girl shouted, “Silver Gem, energize!”
Then, the crystal suddenly flashed and started glowing brightly, blinding Topaz’s minions, as well as Yui and the others. The silver light surrounded the girl, a bright silver aura coating her.
The next second, she was dressed in a Prism Knight’s armor, shining in silver and white with a long cape, baring the same symbol as her robe. Some of the armor looked like it was incomplete, however, like part of it was missing.
Once she had transformed into her armored form, the minions were now struck with alarm.
"It can't be...!" the enemy exclaimed, "It's the silver warrior!"
"What!? I thought Lord Obsidian got rid of her years ago!"
"Well it looks like he was wrong," the silver knight confirmed, “I’m still here, and now, I’ll make you pay for all the wrong you’ve done!”
“Why you...!” The enemy shot out dark energy from their hands, aiming it at the girls.
The silver knight held out her hand, and it was immediately blocked.
“Wha..?”
“How can she block that attack?!”
“Take this!” The minions charged at the girl, but much to their surprise, she was able to move very quickly and had high reflexes. She blocked all their attacks and knocked them to the ground.
“Not even breaking a sweat,” she chuckled.
“Damn!” One of the minions shot out another dark energy behind the silver knight, almost hitting her if she hadn’t dodged.
“Crap, these guys are stronger than I remember.”She then held out her hand and closed her eyes, concentrating her energy.
“Summon, shield!” she called out, but it seemed that nothing happened. She opened her eyes. “Huh…? Shield!”
She looked at her Prism Gem. She saw there was a small crack in it.
“Uh oh…”
Now she understood why she wasn’t able to sense where her partner was. With this small little crack, even though it looked minor, her powers weren’t working at all because of it.
“Hehe, got a problem?” one of the monsters chuckled before charging towards her. The silver knight dodged again and held her Gem.
She sighed, “Oh well...guess I’ll just have to use hand to hand.”
She then cracked her knuckles and threw a punch at the oncoming minions.
“Amazing!” Haruppi exclaimed as she and the others saw the fight.
“Yui-chan, you five help me take these guys out!”
“On it!”
The girls used their Gems and created a barrier that trapped the two minions.
The girl then grinned. “It’s been a while since I’ve done this. Let’s hope I’m not too rusty.”
She held out her hand, pointing her finger out like a gun. The symbol on her cape glowed and a magic circle appeared under her feet and in front of her pointed finger.
“Bang!” She made a ‘shot’ and a beam of light shot the two, knocking them back with a brute force.
“Woooooah!!!” The five said amazed.
“This won’t be the last you see us, silver warrior!”
The two minions then disappeared.
There was a flash of light and the armor on the silver knight disappeared. Yui and the others stood where they are, still awestruck by her outstanding power.
“Sugoi...she’s so strong,” said Jurina, the others nodded in agreement with her.
The girl then gave a heavy sigh. “So, Obsidian is awake again… What in the world happened while I was sleeping?”
She then heard one of the girls speak to her.
“Ano...who exactly are you?”
-----------------------------------------------------
The girls returned to their HQ with their new comrade. The five were sure Yuko and Kana were going to be confused as heck as to who she was and why she was there, but Yui believed she’d be able to explain.
“Oh you guys are back,” Yuko said as she walked in the room, “What ha...?”
Yuko’s eyes met the girl’s, and the girl’s met Yuko’s. The two stared at each other, their eyes both wide in shock.
“...It can’t be…!”
The mystery girl’s eyes widened as well.
“Yuko?”Sayanee was the first to speak, "Yuko-san, we know you told us that we shouldn't bring strangers into the base, but...we've brought some company."
Kana then came in, munching on a cookie, “What’s this about company?”
She then saw the robed guest and her expression became like Yuko’s. Her jaw dropped, the cookie falling to the floor from her ajar mouth.
“Oh…my…God...”
Afraid that they’ve done something really bad to shock Yuko and Kana this much, Jurina spoke, “Guys, we can explain, really...”
“Kana?” the girl then spoke, stepping forward. She smiled widely. “Well, looks like you haven’t changed. How’ve you been?”
“S-Sae… is that really you?” Kana said, near tears.
“Sae?!” The five exclaimed shocked.
The robed girl gave a child-like giggle. “C’mon, baka, of course it’s me!”
Kana covered her mouth.
“Sae..! I don’t believe it… you’re alive! You’re really alive!” Kana hugged the tall girl and cried.
“Kana, don’t cry,” Sae wiped away the girl’s tears.
“B-but… you were gone for so long!”
“Kana…”
“Wait, Sae as in… the same one who went missing?!” Mako said in shock.
Sae turned to the girls and said, “Ah. So you’ve heard of me.”
“EEEEEEEEEH?!?!?!!”
“Sae-chan!” Yuko ran straight to the tall girl and the two shared a huge hug. Sae smiled and picked the small girl off the ground.
“Yuu-chan!”
“Oh my gosh, I’m so happy to see you!” said Yuko. Then, as she got her feet back to the floor, she took a moment to step back and look at Sae. “Thank God… I-I thought...”
“Eh..?” Sae suddenly became confused when Yuko started crying. But then she remembered that she was in a coma for three whole years and she probably worried her friend.
She took her thumb and wiped away Yuko’s tears.
“Mou~ don’t cry! It makes you look ugly,” she pinched both of Yuko’s cheeks lightly. “A Yuko who doesn’t smile is like a day without sunshine.”
Yuko wiped away her tears and nodded, smiling.
“Oh wow...you certainly haven’t aged a bit!”
“And you certainly haven’t grown an inch since we last saw each other,” Sae joked then chuckled mischievously, “Gee Yuko you could’ve tried to grow more while I was asleep.”
“Oi!”
The two laughed after having seen each other in so long.
Then, Yui and the others saw the picture of Yuko and her old team. Just as they expected, Sae looked exactly the same as she did in the picture.
“It really is her...” Mako exclaimed in a soft voice.
“So, she’s been alive all this time. Just asleep...”
“For three years...”
“But how...?”
They still are quite surprised at the fact that this girl hasn't changed in appearance at all when 3 years have passed.
“I wonder…”
-------------------------------
Yuko, Kana, and Sae took the time walking together and catching up. Naturally of course Sae had a lot of questions and had Yuko and Kana fill her in with all the details on the things that she had missed while she was hidden away for 3 years.
“I see...So in the end Obsidian was brought back,” Sae spoke after hearing everything, “...I can’t believe it...Lady Ange…How could this have happened to her?”
It was now time for Yuko to ask Sae some questions of her own that she would like her to answer.
“Sae, what happened to you all these years? Why didn’t you return sooner if you were still alive?”
Sae rubbed the back of her head. “Well...I must’ve been sleeping longer than I thought.”
Then, Yuko had an important question to ask Sae.
“Sae… do you remember anything from what happened that day?”
Here, Sae gave an unsure expression. The whole room suddenly went silent before Sae spoke again.
“Actually...I can’t really remember clearly...The last thing I remembered before I blacked out, I was fighting Topaz and Yuk--... I-I mean, Lapis... and then…”
She thought back to the last thing she can remember...
Flashback
3 years ago…
Thunder boomed and lightning flashed on one stormy and rainy night.
A fight was taking place a distance from the city. The ones involved was Topaz and Lapis against Sae and one other person who fought on the good side. The other warrior of light that fought alongside Sae had gold armor with silver trimming and her armor was the same style and look as Sae’s.
“Sae, look out!”
Sae was hit by Topaz’s surprise attack and sent flying to the side and knocked far away. She didn’t notice it, but the damage she took from that attack had cracked her Gem, causing her powers to weaken.
“Sae!” her partner shouted.
From where she lay, Sae raised her head and saw her friend reaching out to her.
While she was distracted, Lapis appeared from behind and formed an orb of dark energy in his hands, a grin formed on his face. Sae’s eyes widened in horror when she saw her friend and partner then received a powerful blow from the Lapis’ attack, dark energy shooting her.
“NOOO!!!”
What happened next was fuzzy to Sae, but the last thing she remembered was hearing a voice, a desperate cry, before her memory turned blank.
“I’m sorry Sae…”
End of FlashbackBack to the present, Sae opened her eyes after recalling the last memory she had.
“...And the next thing I knew, I woke up and found myself underground as if only a few minutes have passed. That’s all I remember.”
“That’s it?” Yuko spoke with an anxious look, “Then...what about her? She wasn’t with you when the girls found you?”
Sae’s face fell and she silently shook her head, letting Yuko and Kana know that she no information concerning the person Yuko is inquiring about.
Though Sae told everything from her side of the story, there were still unanswered questions and gaps to the mystery. Yuko and Kana are left with only a few answers, but a still unresolved mystery.
From what Sae described, Yuko feared the worst possible conclusion to what might have happened to their dear friend.
Then Sae gave a concerned look. “Yuu-chan...you don’t think that she...?”
She couldn’t finish her sentence, Yuko stood up and faced her friend with serious eyes.
“...No. It’s possible...but I don’t want to believe it…”
Kana spoke as well, “If Sae was able to survive…then I’m sure that that person, knowing how strong she is, has to be out there somewhere, too.”
Sae, too, gained confidence. “You’re right…I can just feel it...she’s alive.”
Sae smiled and stood up, gaining confidence.
“Yosh! Now I’m fired up! Let’s do it! We’ll find our comrade and beat Obsidian!” she proposed.
“Genki as usual, huh?” Yuko chuckled. “You haven’t changed even after three years.”
Sae giggled, then she remembered something important.
"Oh by the way Yuu-chan, I need a favor from you. Uh the thing is...I may have accidentally broke my Gem somehow.”
“Eh?!”
Sae held up her Gem and Yuko saw the crack that she got from her last fight with Lapis and Topaz 3 years ago.
"I can’t summon my Silver Shield… Is there any way we can fix it?”
Yuko looked at it and sighed.
“I’ll try. For now, you probably shouldn’t overwork it. It’ll irritate the crack and worsen it.”
“I just hope I’ll be able to summon my Shield again…”
Kana patted the tall girl’s back. “Don’t worry, Sae! Those five are strong, too.”
Yuko nodded in agreement. “Plus, now that you’re here, we have an advantage.”
“Yeah, we’ll catch ‘em by surprise! I mean, come on, what’re they gonna do now that we have the Silver Prism knight back on our side?”
And so at the moment, our heroes the Prism Knights have gained the assistance of a new ally to help them fight against Obsidian and his dark forces. But will Sae be enough to help them defeat what will come after them next?
