Minamiyuki: Yay! You've commented~
Ruka: Yea, I was praising ya.
cisda-san: Update!
Yuki88: Well, enjoy~ tho evil Chiichan will not last forever
48matama: Well I'll give a short summary of this story -
In the world of the 48G made up of magical creatures and controlled by gods + Fates + etc, there is a Crusade to decide where on gets to stay (Average, Bad, or Good place aka Midgard, Hell, and Heaven).
So basically, our protagonist Sasshi gets dragged into the mess. Lots of random things happen like a shonen manga-good or bad.
So, there's been graduations and such. There was that whole evil fruits of the past arc that caused Nanako to die and also some WMatsui development, my SKE heart... Plus, with the Shige stuff, we get deeper into our main antagonist - Chihiro - being an evil character here.
Also at the side, there was an NMB arc showcasing our beloved SayaMilky and Sayaka's super duper Shana based power-up!
And now to this point: Sasshi has to fight these trials of elements. She grows stronger and learns more as she fights. Meanwhile, Chihiro has been possessed by an evil thing. Having to fight off that evil thing and blah blah, Yuko is in trouble (wait this was a horribly summary)... here we are!
Twentieth (Part 1)Haruna cried out with worry as she examined Yuko and felt the dark miasma emitting from her body. At a rapid pace, life was flowing away from Yuko. If they wanted to save her, every second was important.
As Haruna channeled her life energy desperately to Yuko, Takamina hastily sought for the other medics and those of the healing specialty. Quickly enough, the back-ups came along.
A number gasped in astonishment, “Yuko-san!”
Haruna yelled, “There’s no time to spare! We need to save her!”
Hearing the directions given, everyone scrambled into action right away. They began to attempt to use magic to heal Yuko, and some along with Haruna began to examine the broken arrow as well as the patient herself.
The lingering evil within the arrow was a minimal amount. It was easy to see that much of it had flown into Yuko.
Getting the news across, many switched to attempting to purify the darkness. For a second, there was a sign of recovery and diminishing of the evil that was killing Yuko. Suddenly, a huge burst of malicious power slammed away a good number of the healers.
Haruna bit her bottom lip in frustration. She was in the middle of analyzing the arrow along with a few others.
While the team of healers and purifiers had gotten back into place and were straining effort into their attempts to save Yuko, it was clear that if they went at the pace that they were going at, everyone would run out of energy before they could save Yuko.
Even as the squirrel girl was gradually getting better, bursts of black energy continued to throw away the girls who were trying to help.
The arrow was one of the greatests hints. Once magic enters or goes into another magic, it tends to get contaminated, so tracing what was directly in Yuko might lead to something that destroyed part of Yuko as well. The arrow was uncontaminated.
Haruna racked her brain for answers. In the back of her mind, she knew it was likely the work of the Demon King, but she was unable to recall that simple fact.
Frustration built up within the group of analyzers. They were making little progress and the leftovers were starting to dissipate.
Yuko was getting weaker. Her breathing was but stopped and her heartbeats were almost undetectable. At the same time, the healers were running out of magic as well considering what they were countering.
Hitting a good bit of information, the analyzation of the arrow started to speed up. Still, one of the most important parts that was forgotten was still not there.
“Yuko-san is-!”
After a certain point, the squirrel was starting to go into the phase of the angel type of death where one began to dissolve without leaving much of a corpse.
Haruna felt like hitting something in order to vent, but it was not the time to do something like that. The exhausted girls panicked as they tried to at least keep Yuko from disappearing.
“What should we do, Haruna-san?”
Haruna nearly drowned out the question with her own thoughts, but managed to reply, “Just keep on going. We can’t stop now, and we haven’t found the solution yet.”
Time was ticking. The pressure was building. The thought of losing Yuko was horrible. It was even more so when the reason would be her own inability to do something.
The puzzle was almost solved. Still, there was just that last piece. There was just that last piece that someone had lost, dropped on the ground, and was missing to finish the puzzle that desperately cried to be completed.
Haruna agonized over that last piece. Somewhere inside of her, she knew that she likely knew the answer.
Taking a few deep breaths, she slapped herself lightly. Despite not being the type to think too much, Haruna was deeply immersed in thought, in very complex mental processes.
Suddenly, a thought struck her.
“The Demon King!”
While the other pieces unfolded showed that there was a bit of silencing magic and poison from a plant or something found in Sakae, that last little bit that was destroying Yuko was something else. It was definitely the Demon King’s effect though.
Taking in Haruna’s outburst, they began to work harder and harder and faster.
Even though time was ticking, with the efforts of everyone, they completely broke apart the arrow.
The healing and purification procedures would still be difficult. Everyone seemed to be greatly drained of their stamina, and the analyzers weren’t all the best at the healing part rather than medical examination type things.
Haruna boldly commanded the medics and everyone.
Putting force power coming only from their willpower at this point, the girls followed the directions and within a good amount of time, much of the darkness was able to be removed even with the violent outbursts.
They couldn’t wipe their sweat and say that everything was well and finished yet though.
A relieved smile appeared on many faces either way. With the combined efforts of all the medics, they managed to heal up Yuko’s physical body back to the point of not-too-close-to-death and slightly healthy.
Concluding their huge job, many just collapsed onto the ground and napped. Some fell on each other. Some cried out in joy. Haruna let out a teary smile of relief as she felt fatigue come along and fell asleep, holding Yuko’s hand.
“I’m glad...”
-------------------------------
“Guys?!” Sasshi tried to find her way out of the deep forest. “Takamina? Haruna-san? Yuko?”
She looked around, calling for her friends to see if they’d be there.
“Mou~ where is everyone?”
She groaned and sat down as she tried to comprehend what was going on. One minute, she was battling the Wind Elementor, the next she wins, but somehow got herself caught into an interdimensional vortex and found herself here.
“What if… I have another test?! Jeez, I’ve had enough of those… I wanna go home.”
“But you are home.”Sasshi jumped in surprise at the sudden voice, “Eh?”
“Haha, Rino, just think for a second.”Something inside said that she knew who was talking to her. Still Sasshi was wondering who was talking to her.
When she looked up, she thought she saw someone. She couldn’t see the figure’s eyes, but she thought she saw a smile, letting out a silent giggle.
“Um…?” Before she could say anything to the girl, she disappeared, just like that.
Sasshi swiveled her head and surveyed her surroundings in search. The speaker was nowhere to be found, but catching her eyes were shining fragments filled with light. Those fragments seemed to be emitting power and creating a trail.
Following along, Sasshi could truly feel the light and aura coming from those fragments despite simply being fragments.
“Eh? What are these?”
Strangely enough, the small lights were attracted to her and danced around her before they floated down onto her finger and were absorbed into her ring.
Bright lights surrounded her body, and it felt as if something was flowing into her. Sasshi was perplexed and continued following the trail.
Soon enough, Sasshi walked into a stunningly bright place. As her eyes adjusted to the lights, she saw a figure smile at her.
“Do you understand now?”“Huh?!” Sasshi looked around panicked again.
“This is fate. It’s what you’re meant to do.”“I...”
She thought she heard footsteps behind her, causing her to look back.
“Try to find me.” the voice said.
Sasshi saw some more light fragments float, going down a path. She gathered up her courage and started following them.
-------------------------------
HKT’s members, including many that were not here anymore, cheered together, “Okay! Let’s go, do our best!”
At that time, everything seemed happy and enjoyable. Chihiro smiled and laughed. Everyone giggled as the captain accidently forgot to count herself while counting role. The girls sang strange lyrics along to strange guitar playing.
Those comrades were the best and the warmest. For one thing, many were the first people each other had met when they first came along to this world, wearing demon wings and whatnot.
The goal to win the Crusades and make HKT the best, the happiest place, was clear. Their expedition was a happy and enjoyable one.
Everything seemed fine. Even if they lost, they could still get back up and try again. Failures were supposed to teach how to avoid various mistakes. What doesn’t kill one makes one stronger.
For this young group, every experience was valuable and their friendship was very much so too even though there would be that rivalry and bickering here and there at times.
Fate had crueler things in mind, sadder things in mind.
The sun and the moon were covered that day. The skies were filled with a gloomy darkness foreshadowing despair.
“What the-?”
It just ended up happening. Blood rained down. And tears flowed down. Something was missing. HKT had suffered a true loss, a huge loss, at the cruel hands of fate.
“...it’s...all my fault that I couldn’t...”-------------------------------
“
Time to settle this, once and for all...”
HKT’s army marched along as small squadrons flew off into the trees, ready to take down their opponents sneakily. Chihiro was commanding the army with an eager smile.
The remaining Kami-7, the ones not gone or out, were ready to fight back. Many of the AKB fighters were ready in the frontlines to take on their opponents, which should be an easy task under the normal situations.
With much misfortune, all their healers were either exhausted or weak at the moment. Still, it seemed that AKB did have a quantity-based advantage, but at the same time, Chihiro was probably going to be a hard obstacle.
With one shout, everyone charged into battle. Ranged fighters stayed closer to the back as they fired arrows and whatnot. The range-close-combat types jumped around, sure not to accidently hit a comrade. The close-combatants faced off against each other fiercely.
The battle was heating up quickly.
The Kami-7 flew into action as well along with those Gatekeeper members. The explosions from Mayu, and various sword damages were clear evidence along with other things.
Chihiro was calm, knowing that she hadn’t pulled out any trump card yet.
She saw a certain cyborg rush up and try to attack, but she stopped her, grabbing her sword. She looked into her eyes and grinned evilly.
“
You’ll never be able to gain Position 0 like the way you are, cyborg.”
Mayu suddenly froze in her gaze.
“Position 0...”The legendary Position 0, a.k.a, Center.
Typically calm and collected, Mayu couldn’t help but feel a wave of irritation come over her at the demon’s words. With a little bit of an aggravation charm of demonic magic, Mayu was infuriated and brought out her guns alongside her swords.
The cyborg went trigger-happy with low accuracy as she charged in for the demon.
Chihiro smiled.
She slipped passed the girl, and chopped her neck, knocking her down. Mayu held her neck, coughing for air. She was able to stabilize her system and stay conscious.
“
You’re hard to beat...”
“Well… I am a robot after all.”
“
Close...” Chihiro picked up the sword Mayu dropped. “
You’re a cyborg. You still have some human factors inside you. You can be killed.”
Before she could swing the blade down onto her, Takamina rushed in and stopped her. She gritted her teeth, struggling to hold Chihiro back.Takamina kept straining, using her strength, and Chihiro just stood there bored.
Takamina said, “I…. won’t give up. I won’t lose Mayu.”
“
Huh?”
“I’m not going to lose anyone else!” she shouted. A pulse rushed through Mayu and Chihiro’s heart.
“What was that?”
“Takamina...”Seeing the demon was distracted, she slashed violently, throwing her sword out of her hands. She kept swinging her sword to attack the girl, but all she did was avoid.
Chihiro looked and saw lots of her army was being taken down, causing her to growl in anger.
“
Guess I have no choice...”
“Eh?”
“
Time for a little fun...” she said before snapping her fingers.
Particles of darkness quickly gathered together and rose into the air, condensing around Chihiro for what seemed like an attack. Many of the AKB fighters noticed the strange dark energy, but they were preoccupied with the task of fighting off the HKT girls who seemed a bit desperate.
Takamina gritted her teeth as she had a vague thought of what was going to happen. She charged in, but that charge was too slow.
It didn’t take too long for those black particles to begin to disperse in a huge wave-like explosion. Being close, Takamina was thrown off her feet by the darkness.
Within a few seconds, the magic had begun to work. Chihiro smiled knowingly, and Takamina knew that something was going to be very wrong soon enough.
Suddenly, a huge pain hit her entire body. Her eyesight began to warp a little and darken. Nightmarish images began to appear. And taunts as well as screams and other terrors rang out in the back of her head. That was just the beginning, and Takamina was stronger than some others.
With their judgement warped by fear and chaos, the other fighters began to scramble around in fear. Then, they randomly attacked at anything anywhere insanely at the nightmares that only they could see.
Many were crying and screaming from the horrific experience.
Takamina bit onto her bottom lip so hard that she drew blood as she tried to withstand the magic.
In the corner of her eyesight, she saw Chihiro let out a nonchalant sigh as well as her disfigured nightmares encroaching. The nightmares seemed glad and ready to pounce and tear her apart.
The short angel gasped and choked out a small voice. She was scared, but knew that those nightmares were likely just illusions. Still, Takamina couldn’t help but attack at them in an uncomposed manner.
Chihiro stepped to the side as Takamina went flying at things that were there.
Letting down her guard a little, the demon captain didn’t notice the fact that the cyborg was still awake and unaffected. Plus, the noise, chaos, and etc made it a bit harder to detect something like that.
Takamina gasped for air, knowing that she was hyperventilating due to her problematic state of mind. She attacked and flailed around, uselessly not hitting anything besides maybe a comrade or tree.
Mayu quietly scrambled over to her friend, trying to avoid attacks, knowing that she needed a little more time before her systems for fighting got to a good state.
“Takamina, stop! It’s not real! Wake up!”
Mayu was surprised when Takamina screamed and suddenly started strangling her.
She let out a small electrical shock and grabbed onto Takamina’s hands. The shock Mayu let out entered Takamina, shocking her out of the trance.
“Wha-? What’s going on?” Takamina saw everyone in a panic, most of her friends had gone insane and some were starting to flee.
Others were attacking monsters that weren’t visible to her eyes anymore, and the rest of them had collapsed on the ground and were in the middle of a seizure.
“It’s Chihiro. Chaos’ magic did this to them.”
“Who else is left?”
“Looks like...” Mayu looked around. “Yuki, Jurina, Rena, Miichan, Yui, and Paru.”
They looked and saw their comrades. Yuki was breathing hard, but she seemed to have somehow kicked down the magic and stomped away at the traces that hit her. Rena had a strange aura around her, but that died down and she wasn’t rampaging. Miichan and Yui were calm, but somewhat exhausted and worried about the situation as they watched.
“Guys, gather!” Takamina called them into a huddle. “Wait, where’s Jurina and Paru?”
Rena looked behind her and saw Jurina on the ground, screaming and kicking as she held her head, yelling at the invisible monsters to leave her. Yui looked and saw Paru in the middle of a seizure, babbling incoherent words.
“You two try to wake them up. We’ll take care of Chihiro.”
“Right.”
As they proceeded, Mayu looked up at the sky and silently prayed that Yuko would be alright.
“Haruna, please hurry… I need to see Yuko… I need her here.”-------------------------------
Haruna walked into the room where Yuko was resting. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. She wasn’t so pale as she was before, and she didn’t look like she was in pain anymore.
Haruna smiled in relief.
She walked over to the sleeping girl and removed the towel on her head, seeing she had stopped sweating and her body was no longer shivering.
Yuko was completely relaxed, no more pain. Just blissful sleep.
“Thank goodness...” she took the girl’s limp hand and kissed it. “Yuuchan...”
Yuko suddenly felt a warmth run up her body and she slowly opened her heavy eyes. She tried to call out to Haruna, but her throat was so numb and so weak, she couldn’t feel her voice come out.
She lightly nudged the girl’s shoulder and got her attention. She weakly smiled.
“Yuuchan!”
Yuko didn’t try to speak. She felt to sluggish and still very weak to try and do anything. She just took her notepad and wrote on it.
“Are the others okay?”“Yes, Takamina just went with a few troops to battle Chihiro and her army.”
Yuko nodded, sighing that she knew everyone was okay.
“Nee, Yuuchan...” Haruna took the smaller girl’s chin and kissed her lips. As she parted, she whispered, “I love you.”
Yuko felt her cheeks get hot and she silently giggled in excitement, her feet kicking under the blankets.
“Yuko, you should’ve recovered now, right? Can you talk?”
Yuko rolled her eyes a bit and wrote on the notepad again.
“I may be able to. But I wanna wait and see at the perfect time. 
”Haruna mentally repeated the words she had just seen.
“Perfect time? What does that mean?”Then, someone rushed in, panting. It was a junior member, Sasaki Yukari.
“Haruna-san, Yuko-san…haa... the others… they’re in trouble… haa… you need to save them...”
“Oh no.” Haruna quickly grabbed her sword. “Yuko, can you fight?”
Yuko was already up, grasping a sword in her hands, and gave her a thumbs up.
“Alright, let’s go.”
-------------------------------
Following the trail, Sasshi traveled a long time with various beautiful scenes and such. The fragments of light were beautifully glowing. Tired and a bit thirsty, Sasshi stopped at a small pond at the end of the trail.
She dipped down to take a drink and splashed a little bit of cool water onto her face. After that, her stomach suddenly grumbled. It wasn’t too surprising that Sasshi was a bit hungry.
Suddenly, Sasshi heard a light laugh come from behind her.
Quickly, the ace turned around. There was the figure.
“I guess you’ve found me, so I guess I might as well explain. And, I’m Maeda Atsuko, by the way.”“...Eh!?”
Sasshi’s jaw dropped. In return, Acchan let out another laugh. She formed a small table with some cookies, bread, and some drinks on it. Sitting down in one seat, Atsuko gestured towards Sasshi to sit down in the other.
Atsuko happily ate some food. With a smile, she told Sasshi to eat some to while they would talk.
“How’s the food?”“It’s really good!”
“That’s great to hear. Now, feel free to ask me a few questions.”Sasshi paused for a second. She knew that she had a huge pile of questions, but wasn’t too sure what to ask first. “Um, so what will happen after the Crusades?”
Atsuko pondered for a moment and answered after taking a bite of a cookie,
“You might remember, you might not. You’re an oddity, so you probably won’t get the typical rewards of winning-a happy, fun period of peace in Heaven.”
Sasshi sighed, “Well, I guess I kind of knew that.”
“You know a lot more than you’d guess,” Atsuko grinned as she glanced at the ring on Sasshi’s hand, “
Plus, you have sources to ask if you’re lost as well.”“Eh? What do you mean?”
“There’s a beauty in you… I’ve only seen it once before.”“W-where?”
“From the girl I loved.”“Who’s that?”
“It’s a secret for now. I’m sure you know her.”“Huh…I guess I should ask something else,” Sasshi thought out loud before asking, “I’m sure that we’ll have to defeat that Demon King eventually since he took over Chihiro, but...how would we get a Soul Gem so great?”
“Well, you have two options. One is to just do what was explained to you before,” Atsuko smiled knowingly,
“And the second option is actually right here with you.”Sasshi inquired, feeling too clueless somehow, “What do you mean?”
Acchan pointed at Sasshi’s finger. The one with the Center ring wrapped around it.
“Eh? ….Th-this?”
“Un.”“H-How?”
“That is a part of a Soul Gem, a great one filled with the power of light. And, it shouldn’t be too hard to tell who it is.”“...Wait. You!?”
“Yes. Right now, Sasshi, you have a part of me with you.” She said as she smiled. She slowly got up.
“No matter what, I’m always with you. I have been since the beginning. I’ve watched over you, protected you, up until now, when we can finally meet… and complete destiny.”“Eh?”
“Catch me!” She ran off somewhere, leaving the hetare startled.
“Wait… Maeda-san?! Come back!!!”
-------------------------------
Haruna and Yuko rushed out and ran. Steadily flying along, they quickly met up with the others. Takamina and crew all looked pretty battered up and exhausted. Haruna and Yuko weren’t exactly in tip-top shape, but they were likely better off than their fighting comrades.
The two new arrivals winced at the look of the battlefield. Then, they saw Chihiro.
They all glared at the demon.
“
So, this one survived. That might be a bit problematic, but you’ll be looking at the door into the land of the dead in no time again.”
Haruna shouted at her, “I can’t forgive you for hurting Yuuchan!”
Mayu and the others stepped in with them. They saw Rena was still trying to wake up Jurina, and Yui doing the same to Paru.
“We will… stop you.” Mayu said.
“
Ah… is that so?”
“Of course. Do you think that we wouldn’t be able to beat someone like you?”
In return, Chihiro shrugged. With a cackle, she motioned for them to come, go ahead and attack. The group thus rushed into the battle.
Mayu took to rapid fire of bullets as the others took up their swords and weapons. Yui was up and ready with her arrows as she had managed to talk Paru out of that trance-like state, though a love confession kind of came along as well. After a kiss from Rena, Jurina was ready as well.
Swiftly, Rena and Yuki wielded their swords and flew at high speeds towards both sides of Chihiro. Working together in harmony, they attacked as their slower comrades charged from the front.
As the two landed from their attack, Yuki quickly kicked and punched at Chihiro while Rena attacked with her sword. Chihiro was busy dodging, and the others came into the fight.
The slower sword wielders rushed in. They struck Chihiro, but the demon quickly retaliated with a few short bursts of dark energy.
The YuiParu combi hastily took aim and shot down most of the bursts.
Still seeming nonchalant compared to the already tired fighters, Chihiro casually covered herself with a dark aura and smirked.
Rena and Yuki once again attacked. While hitting and getting a bit of damage, the dark power that was incompatible with angels hurt them furiously in return. The others dealt heavy damage to Chihiro, but suffered recoil as well.
The angels frowned in unison. They knew that they needed a way to get past that barrier, plus Chihiro was dodging and causing more damage as well.
Yui and Paru charged up their arrows, adding to their damaging salt. Seeing as that those two were the greater threats, Chihiro quickly jumped over and slammed Paru away with a punch of maliciousness.
Yui gasped out loud in surprise and anger. She quickly shot the arrow at Chihiro. The demon growled at the slight pain that had gone through.
As the demon was about to basically kill Yui, the cyborg threw in a grenade. Counting on her friends to read her mind in a way, Mayu had that sort of rough plan to save Yui. Rena quickly sped in and pulled Yui out of the way of harm.
Mayu sent a thumbs-up towards Rena and the SKE-Kami-7 girl did the same in return.
Chihiro frowned. Things weren’t as perfect as she wanted. Still, she stomped onto the ground, throwing a huge ripple of nightmares towards Rena.
Rena cried out as she was suddenly hit with an attack.
Jurina couldn’t help but feel infuriated. Yuki felt the same way about her twin being struck. But this was a battle, so that couldn’t be helped.
Chihiro let out a creepy grin, “
Hey, I wonder why you all are mad. Should I kill her? And then...I’ll kill you all.”
Haruna had run over towards Paru and Rena and given them a little bit of healing.
“Well, I can’t say that we like you in the first place, so…,” started Mayu.
Then, she suddenly sent a huge barrage of bullets flying towards Chihiro. At that, Yuko chuckled silently under her breath, and both midgets plus Yuki charged from the three other sides of the demon.
“
Is that the best you got?”
“You want more?” Yuki said coldly before charging at her at rapid, inhuman speed, and pushing Chihiro’s chest, knocking her into a tree.
She groaned as she got up, staring at the group of angels gathered at the center of the field, all of them had the same glow in their eyes.
“
You...”
“We won’t lose to you!” they all harmonized.
-------------------------------
Where might I be?
The star I looked up to the night sky to find
Somewhere along the way
On my own, I lost sight of it
“Maeda-san! Wait!” Sasshi ran as fast as she could, trying to catch up to the ace. She hurried and dashed through the forest, the soft grass touching her feet.
She quickly jumped forward with one final thrust and grabbed Acchan’s hand. She turned around and looked at her, the two staring at each other.
“...You did it.”“Eh?”
-------------------------------
Don't be afraid of anything
Because even if we are separated
Always, always
Everyone will unchangingly
Be by your side
Everyone held onto each others hands and concentrated. Somewhere on the inside, they all felt a familiar power. It was the ace who had already left from the world in which the Crusade was and this battle was.
Chihiro raised an eyebrow and frowned. She somehow felt that power as well. It wasn’t comfortable.
“
...what are you all-?”
“Everyone… thank you.” They all heard her voice echo in their heads.
Takamina looked up, smiling as tears flowed down her face. Everyone saw the sky clear and the stars shine brightly, the full moon shining down on them.
“Acchan...”
-------------------------------
The boat that crossed
The river of dreams
Quietly reaches the shore before dawn
The first step onto the earth
My foot will now take“Congratulations, Sasshi.” Acchan said as she took both of the hetare’s hands.
The two were standing near the edge of a cliff, standing under a beautifully clear, starry sky.
“You’ve done very well in completing the final task. You’ve been able to prove yourself to me that you are worthy for this.”“For… what?”
-------------------------------
If you try listening carefully
You should be able to hear it beyond the wind
No matter how hard times may be
Someone is always watching over youA bright light suddenly came down on them, surrounding the joined angels in a beautiful white aura. They all closed their eyes as they felt a warm feeling surge through them. They smiled, some of them shedding tears, but all of them felt this incredible power they never has before.
Chihiro sneered. “
What is this? A re-run of some emotional drama?”
“I can feel it...” Mayu whispered. “The Center… all of this power.”
“It’s amazing...” Jurina smiled as she looked at the sky.
Takamina kept crying silently.
“It’s her… It’s really Atsuko.”-------------------------------
In the thick fog
Lantern lighting your way
Surely, surely
Just beyond the night
Is the place you were aiming for
The two of them suddenly became surrounded by fragments of white light, floating and circling around them.
Sasshi felt her dress flutter up in a light wind. Acchan brought her hands closer and slowly kissed the ring.
It glowed brightly, but no longer a red light, but bright white.
“W-what?!”-------------------------------
Yuko gripped tighter on Haruna and Mayu’s hands, taking in a deep breath.
“Yuuchan?”
“Yuko?”
She smiled and opened her mouth…
Along the river of dreams
The small boat
Slowly disappears, looking anxious…
Your back trembled
As you gathered all your courage
“Yuko!” All of them smiled as the girl sighed heavily at that beautiful song.
“Told you this was the perfect time, Nyan-nyan.”
“Yuuchan...”
All of them harmonized and sang…
Today we said goodbye to each other
Until the day we can meet again
Yes, we will wipe away our lonely tears
And send you off properly-------------------------------
The boat that crossedThe river of dreams
Quietly reaches the shore, before dawn
From my first step
I will walk forward“Sasshi...” Acchan got close to the girl so that their foreheads touched.
“This is what you were destined to do. Destined to become. You may not remember anything yet, but soon enough, everything will finally come to view.”
“What does that mean?”
“After we lost you, I was sure that you would come back, so after coming here, I watched over you so you could become the next Center.”“Wait...” Sasshi was finally seeing the light, something in her head sparked. “Maeda-san… have we met somewhere before?”
-------------------------------
The river of dreams
From the past to the present
From the present to the future
Is flowing
Everyone is rowing
Their own boat of hopeBefore Chihiro’s eyes, a bright light flashed before her. Exposed to the light, she felt an overwhelming aura overflow into her.
Something in her chest was growing warm. It was different, it was making the darkness fade away.
She growled angrily, feeling Chaos’ power, and released a dark energy to shield her.
Before she noticed, she looked down and saw her hand clutching her chest.
“
What is this strange feeling?”
-------------------------------
“Now go...” Acchan said as she released the hetare’s hands and hugged her.
“It’s finally time.”“Eh?”
When my dream is fulfilled
I'll come for youSasshi felt a strange warmth wrapped around her and she was surrounded by the white light. Acchan slowly disappeared and became a small orb of light.
It slowly transformed, all the small fragments gathering around it, and finally, the Center ring’s light was absorbed into the light.
The light became a beautiful crystal orb with light circling inside it. It was the Soul Gem.
Sasshi smiled. “It’s time…”
-------------------------------
The Fates watched as Sasshi began to wrap around the light and was shot up into the air, flying in the air like a shooting star.
Crow guided the star safely to her angel friends.
Helios smiled. “The revolution has begun.”
-------------------------------
Everyone saw a shooting star, headed straight for them. It fell and shot out a great light surrounding the area in stars and cosmos.
When they turned and looked, they were surprised to see Sasshi with the Soul Gem in her hands.
However, that was
not the real surprise.
“S-Sasshi...”
Everyone’s eyes widened as they saw Sasshi glowing a white aura… with beautiful, white wings on her back.
“You’re… an angel!!!”
