Dream Castle - Main Hall

Music - Infernos Battle


Thomas: Okay Hugh, time to use our common skills.

Hugh: Yes, i'm charged up!

Thomas: You won't have time to charge an aurora pressure, we'll be needing a more faster an effective move.

Hugh: I know, then i guess it's time to improvise something, TOH!

Hugh flies upwards, and starts shining a blue light.


Marie: What Hugh is trying to do? Also, when he learned how to fly?

Hugh: Thomas, we'll launch our moves together, i'm counting on your Kishin Ran-

Thomas: I got another one, beside that.
Hugh: Hoh? Improvising as well?

Thomas: Yes, This move is more concentranted on one oponent instead of many.

Hugh: I see, then in 3...2...1...

Thomas: Hyaku Ryu HA!!!

Hugh: ELECTRO BOLT!

Hugh shot a blue bolt of lightining, while it was weaker than Aurora Pressure, it's charge time was faster, as well as the speed, while Thomas, launched what seemed to be One Hundred Dragons at Liebea(?)


Kael: All right. I'll unload many moves at once. Eat all of them!

Kael ran foward, shooting fire bullets and flame balls, then he jumped high, thanks to the low gravity, the jump was higher, he descended with a flaming slash, for the finishing attack, he strapped the sword in his arm and stabbed Liebea(?), causing exactly six-point blank explosions consecutivelly.


Kael: This is my Joker!

Marie: Amazing!

Marie: Then, me too! With my Ancient Magic! The sapphire light burns deep into Hel. Witness their sins and call forth the day of judgment! Pale Flare!

Using her ancient Magic, Marie summoned purple colored flames to burn and explode Liebea(?)


Akina: My turn now, just watch, The White Tiger Death Goddess will rip you to shreds...says me. I'm actually just going to heavily damage you.

Akina: Go! Sickle Storm!

Many sickles appeared out of thin air, she wasn't kidding when she said the was "A Death Goddess", they soon formed a storm that slashed at Liebea(?)


Kael: Alright, if everything goes as planned, that nightmare will run at that corridor, Fael will show up and finish it off.

Marie: But...i'm not seeing him yet.

Akina: Trust him, i assure you he'll come.

Marie: ...Fine.

Dream Castle - Main Hall

The attacks left it really weak. It stumbled across all the hall, near to the corridor. But it stopped before it could reach it.


Necrox: Oh, come on! In the position she is, I won't be able to shoot!

Lilly: I can't seem to hit her. Although aimed, the petals can't become crystals immediately.

Giovanni: *appears* If you guys want, I can slash her. But I can't say that she'll be forced there with a single slash.

Anna: I have an idea! I can use that!

Lilly and Necrox turned quickly to Anna. They looked at her, worried.


Lilly: Anna... are you sure?

Anna: I am! Please, let me do it!

Necrox: ... Just don't overdo it.

Anna: I won't!!

Anna moved forward, in front of everyone. The Nightmare was about to rush, but she used her strongest attack.

Anna's Final Attack Theme: Speed Ball


Anna: Alright, I can do it. No running away... *darkness starts to converge at Anna's hand*

Anna: *feels the will of the darkness* AAAAAH!!!

Lilly and Necrox: Anna!!

Anna: I-I-I am OK, do not worry!! Last Word!!

A Spell Card appeared. It was envolved in platinum, shining brilliantly. As it broke into a burst of light, Anna could hear a voice in her mind. Her eyes got vain.

BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD


Anna: "Hand of Hatred"!!

Her arm transformed into a giant hand made of darkness. She grabbed the Nightmare with the plan of throwing it. But the hand started to smash it on the ground, on the wall, on the roof. It was like the arm had its own control.


Lilly: Anna, abort the Last Word now!!

Anna: N-N-No, I can do it!! It just escaped my control... for a while...!!

Necrox: No, you might get possessed again!! Stop this, Anna!!

Anna: N-No, I will make it!! HAAAAAAH!!

Regaining control of the arm, Anna threw it at the corridor they planned. However, it tried to grab the Nightmare again. Lilly and Necrox pulled her back with their strengths. Soon, the hand faded away and Anna fell onto her knees,

*BGM ends*


Anna: T-T-There... I... did it...

Lilly: Don't use that ever again...

Akina: Now Fael!

Kael: Your time to appear is now.

Finisher - Blue Sanction


Fael: Roger, just leave the rest to me.

Fael: The light that will purify everything...RISING FORCE!!!

Fael bolts foward, literally passing through Liebea(?) with his a stab, one could see briefily an image of an angel when he dealt the finishing attack.

Music - Tetsu Wo Tataki Nagara Temee No Tamashii Wo Tataki Agero


Thomas: A-Anna!!!

Thomas runs at her, worried about her well being.


Thomas: Hey, are you okay?

Akina: (That power...it was amazing...but at the same time, frightening...) I ask the same, you seemed in pain while using that.

Hugh: *Lands on the ground.* Anna.

Fael: What happened?

Marie: Anna used some kind of power that thrashed that Nightmare.
Fael: For real?

Marie: But, it seems that power can run out of her control.

Fael: Marie...

Marie pulls some kind of red pearl from her pocket, looking at it with a sad face.


Marie: I'm not the only one it seems...that can lose control of myself.

Kael: (T-That pearl...where did i see it before?)

Dream Castle - Main Hall

BGM: Tetsu Wo Tataki Nagara Temee No Tamashii Wo Tataki Agero still playing


Anna: Y-Y-Yes, I am... but there is no need to worry about me.

Giovanni: Don't ever say that!

Anna: Huh?

Giovanni: You're our friend. I mean, I met you just a while ago, but you're my friend already.

Lilly: He's right, Anna. It doesn't matter who you are. You are a friend.

Anna: But... if I die, then I will be replaced. False Shadows are replaceable.

Necrox: Anna...

Anna: I am simply a servant, nothing more than that. If I am unusable, someone will come and be the useful one. I really do not care if I die...

BGM: Inevitabilis


Giovanni: THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!

Anna looked at Giovanni, who portrayed a angry face, with a little of tears in his eyes.


Giovanni: No one can ever replace you! I don't know how it works, but you're you!

Anna: I am... me? Even if I'm not human, I am important?

Giovanni: Human, alien, demon... it doesn't matter!! No one can replace no one!!

Anna: B-But... I do not even have a heart. How can you ever be friend of someone who is empty?

Giovanni kneeled near her and held her face with both hands.


Giovanni: I know that what you feel is true. You are kind, selfless and gives your hard on everything for everyone. That's why I know that you're my friend.

Filled with tears in her eyes, Anna looked


Anna: Princess Lilly... Prince Necrox... am I... irreplaceable?! Am I that important... that you need to care about me so much?!

Necrox: ... Yeah. You're our prized False Shadow, that no one can replace. *holds her left hand*

Lilly: Please... promise to all of us that you'll never use your Last Word again, OK? *holds her right hand*

Anna: *sniff* Princess Lilly... Prince Necrox... I...

Anna nodded and at the same time, a burst of light. From that Nightmare, Liebea came out. Her eyes were closed, and she was crying. With that, Anna moved to her and held her hand.


Anna: I guess... this is how her brother is to her. Someone so important to her that it cannot be replaced. He has a special place in her heart. And she will do everything for seeing him safe...

Anna thought, opened a smile and turned back to them.


Anna: Princess Lilly, Prince Necrox and everyone... I... I want to help you, with all of my strength! So, please, when we get back to the real world... I want you to take me with you!

Lilly: Don't worry. You're not staying behind anymore.

Anna: R-R-Really?!

Necrox: No lies here. As we said, you're our friend. And as our friend, we won't leave you alone.

Anna: I... I do not have words... to express my gratitude...!!

Dream Castle - Main Hall

**Tetsu Wo Tataki Nagara Temee No Tamashii Wo Tataki Agero still playing**


Akina: Hehe...

Thomas: We'll be with you as well.

Hugh: As Necrox said, we won't leave you alone!

Marie: ...

Fael: Ah yes.

Kael: What is it?
Fael: Now that the nightmare is gone, we should check up on the Dream Sprite.

Marie: Y-You're right. I wonder if he is okay, since we heard two cracks while going after the nightmare.

Akina: You guys can go, i'll stay here for a while longer, i don't have any business with the Dream Sprite.

Kael: I'll stay here too, there's some things i want to discuss with Akina.

Hugh: You sure you don't want to see Magio now? I bet Fael is really wanting to introduce you two.

Fael: If he wants to pass, it's okay, they can always meet at the real world.

Kael: See you guys then.

Dream Castle - Main Hall


Necrox: Alright. Through this door.

Necrox crossed over a big door. Lilly, Anna and Giovanni followed him.

Dream Castle - Illusion Sanctrum (Dream Depot)

As they crossed, 4 big lines of guards were there. When they noticed the arrival, all of them saluted.


Giovanni: Wow, we're important people...
Guard 1: We salute the ones who drived off the Nightmare!

Necrox: No problem. And I see you guys defended him pretty well.
Guard 2: Yes, we did! Your Majesty is safe!!

Lilly: It was to be expected. He will be overjoyed to see you all safe.

And then, they heard a crack sound.


Anna: ... Oh, look!! The crystal is...!!

The crystal was entirely cracked and then it broke. At its break, a brillant burst happened. It was like looking at the sun.

BGM: Return of the Awaited One

When they opened their eyes, he was standing there. His armor shined like a diamond as his white hair and scarf blew with the wind passing there. He opened his eyes, and was saluted by all of the guards.

Guards: We welcome you back, Your Majesty!! Dream Sprite, King Arcadio IX!!

Anna: W-W-Wow, he's... impressive...

Giovanni: I only saw him at the crystal... but I never thought that he was amazing like that.

???: ...
Guards: We appreciate your kindness, but our mission is to defend you with our life, Your Majesty!!

Anna: Ummm... what he said?

Giovanni: He thanked all of them for their efforts and said he's glad that they are fine.

Necrox: Oho, you can understand him as well?

Giovanni: When I came here, he explained to me, using some magic to talk in my mind. He said that he can't talk or else something will happen with the dreams.

Lilly: To be more exact, the power of his words is really strong. What he speaks will happen in the dreams. So, as a measurement, his voice is sealed.

Anna: Oooooh... I understood.

???: ...
Guard 1: Sir, to be honest... we defended you, but we were not the ones that drived the Nightmare away.

The guards pointed to Necrox and the others. They received a salute once again.


???: ...
Guards: Yes, Your Majesty!! We will return to our posts!!

The guards marched and left the room.


Giovanni: H-He wants to talk with us in particular...!!

Anna: O-O-Oh my gosh... I am so nervous!!

Dream Castle - Illusion Sanctrum (Dream Depot)

Music - An ancient hymn sung by the water.


Thomas: If he speaks, something will happen to the dreams?

Hugh: A Brown Note huh?

Fael: Using some magic to talk in my mind.

Fael remembers something similar happened to him when he was at the Spring Breeze Hospital, Signum communicated with him.


Fael: (I'll give a try...) AHEM! {Guys, i think it's something like this.}

Marie: WHAT?

Hugh: When did you learn that?

Fael: {Remember Signum? She explained something about speak from your heart what you want to say}

Marie: Who's Signum?

Hugh: We'll tell you later...but Fael...what you said was...vague.

Marie: {What did you say Hugh?}

Hugh: HUH?

Thomas: {Even a guy that can't use magic like me can learn it. Make i can make do with my Haki.}

Hugh: Geez, thanks for the humiliation conga guys!

Fael: Well, let's see what the Dream Sprite wants with us.

Hugh: Does he knows that we came here looking for someone?

Marie: Just one way to know.

Dream Castle - Main Hall


Kael: Say Akina, it's better if we don't meet in the real world.

Akina: I know what you mean, your organization is probably watching your moves to see if you're doing your job. So it's better to pretend we don't know each other.

Kael: Yes, when i defeat Anza Matsuri, i'll announce my resignation to them.

Akina: You're really sure you want to do this.

Kael: I made my decision.

Akina: I'm Glad.

Kael: Hey, where are you going?

Akina: Unlike you guys, I actually dreamed of nothing, so i don't have a dream to come back to.

Kael: Oh...So you're going to wander the dream world until you wake up?

Akina: Yes. Also....
Kael: Hm?

Akina: I need to confirm something.

Kael: Confirm what?

Akina: It's Confidential, i can't share it with other organizations.

Kael: B-But i left mine.

Akina: Nope! You didn't, not yet.

Kael: I really can't know?

Akina: I'm sorry. We kinda stabilished back there that we should pretend we don't know each other, and i need to keep my identity a secret.

Kael: ...Fine...but, can you do me a favor?

Akina: Sure! It depends though...

Kael: It's about Liebea.

Akina: You want me to...find her brother?

Kael: Yes, since you are working behind the scenes, you'll have more time to do this, unlike us, who have bigger things to worry about.

Akina: Okay, i'll do it.

Kael: Really?

Akina: I understand how she feels, i have someone important to me that i have to search as well...she's like a big sister to me.

Kael: I see...Will we meet you again?

Akina: Why not? Just remember, don't mention the name "WORLD TRAVELER" even if your life denpended on it, or else...

Akina: I'll kill you.

Kael: I hope you're not serious...

Akina: Sometimes i am, and sometimes i'm not, but seriously, if you, only you, since you're being watched, utter that word in the real world, i'll be in trouble, because they'll think i'm after them.

Kael: I get the message. I won't betray your trust. Good luck on your search.

Akina: Okay, oh, and one more thing.
Kael: Yes?

Akina: Don't tell Fael i said this...But he's kinda cute. Mainly when he's embarassed.

Kael: Eh?

Akina: That's it, see ya, tell everyone i said good-bye and that we'll meet again.

Akina lefts the castle for real this time, since she didn't had a dream to return to, she would wander the dream world until her awakening, like she said before, she needed to confirm something.


Akina: If Senpai is really in this world, then i'll surelly see her dream...

Dream Castle - Illusion Sanctrum (Dream Depot)

BGM: Return of the Awaited One still playing

The Dream Sprite snapped his fingers and a flash blown into their minds. Even if they were able to talk by telepathy, he decided to be safe.


???: I'm glad that you all are fine. Thanks for defeating the Nightmare while I was absent.

Lilly: It was nothing. You know you can count with us anytime you want.

???: I'm sure I can.

Necrox: But I'm surprised. Did you already knew that Liebea was Rank I?

???: No, but I had my doubts. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to wake up on time to help you all...

Necrox: Well, sure we have to pay more attention on everyone from now on.

Anna: U-Ummm... Your Majesty, sir?

???: Hmm? Oh, Anna. What is it?

Anna: W-Well, you know my name... what a surprise. A-Anyway, a friend of ours is lost in the Dream Realm. His name is Magio Toadstool. W-We were wondering if you could help us.

Lilly: ... pffft... sorry, I just thought on a little pun...

???: I see... well, about Magio, he's actually-

Giovanni: W-Wait a moment!!

???: Is something the matter, Giovanni?

Giovanni: Yeah. Your Majesty, I know the guards already said your name, but I want to know you entirely. You promised you would present yourself!

Necrox: ... pfffft... don't mind me, I just reminded myself of a joke...

???: Well, I promised. So, here it goes. I am the Dream Sprite, King Arcadio IX. I am the current watcher of the Dream Realm, with the mission of watching it, protecting its existence and maintaining the balance between dreams and Nightmares. But as I told you before, you know me. In fact, you all know me.

Anna: W-W-We do?!

???: Yes... and answering your question, Anna. There's no need to look for Magio, because he's here, in the castle.

Anna: R-Really?! Where?

*BGM stops*


Magio: Talking with you all right now.

Dream Castle - Illusion Sanctrum (Dream Depot)


Hugh: I-Heard that right huh?

Fael: Yes...

Hugh: He just confirmed that he was Magio.

Marie: Exactly...

Hugh: You guys are surprised as well?

Thomas: Actually, pretty shocked.

Hugh: Okay, engaging on proper reaction.
The Four: WHAAAAAAAAAT?

Music - Royal Castle


Fael: You mean that if we failed, we would lose Magio?

Thomas: That's why i'm shocked.

Marie: Okay everyone, calm down, the worse has passed, so worry not.
Thomas: I think i'm getting a fever.

Hugh: Ah Thomas! Stay with us.

((I know they are shocked, by i saw it coming miles away.))

Dream Castle - Main Hall


Kael: Now, i guess i should go where the others are.

Suddenly, he saw some kind of floating shining white orb exactly where Fael was after he finished using the Rising Force, he got closer to it, curious as what it was about, then suddenly, a fist got out of the orb, accidentally punching Kael, then he heard a voice.


???: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! WHAT A GREAT NAAAAAAAAAAAP!!! ((One Piece Reference, even though i don't like it anymore....cause it's too big, too many episodes!!!))

Kael: AURGH....

He rolls away some meters, getting up while holding his chin, and staring angrily.


Kael: What? An enemy attack?

???: I'm not enemy, dummy.

Kael: Ow...My chin...

???: Oh! The first person i meet is Kael.
Kael: Wait, how do you know about me?

???: I know you ever since we met.

Kael: When?

???: One year ago.

Kael: You kidding me?

???: I'm a bad liar, so no, i'm not kidding.

Kael: But i don't remember meeting you.

???: Well, this is the first time we meet face to face, Fael thinks a lot about you and Amano.

Kael: (She even knows about Amano.) Who are you anyway.

???: Oh Sorry, i'll introduce myself now, i'm Leaf Celest Duarte.

Kael: What is this? Some kind of joke?

Leaf: Bet on the tough odds man.

Kael: I don't bet on 0%.

Leaf: Okay...then, i'll explain what i really am.

Kael: You should have done that for the start.

Leaf: But...I was exciting in meeting one of Master Fael's friends, i just...

Kael: Master Fael?

Music - Affection


Leaf Celest Duarte - The Inner Spirit of Light
A Spirit that was born on Fael since his birth, but she only became aware of her existence when Fael Inherited the Excalibur, she is the emboidment of the power of the sword. It is said that when learnd about their true power, she'll be able to interact with the real world.


Kael: This is even more unbeliavable.

Leaf: Just look at my eyes, notice any similiarities?

Kael: Well...they are just like Fael's when he is in Super Mode....you mean to tell me that you give him power?

Leaf: Not exactly, it's the completely opposite, i'm actually drainning his energy everytime he uses his powers.

Kael: Wha-

Leaf: It is what i have to do, or else i'll dissapear, he thinks the power of the Excalibur is his only, but it's wrong.

Kael: Hm?

Leaf: It's kinda hard to tell the diference, unless one is really skilled, Both me and Fael have the same energy signatures because we are a part of each other.

Kael: That makes sense. So when did he exactly used his powers in the right way?

Leaf: Two words, CYCLONYZED BLADE!!!

Kael: Oh, i get it.

Leaf: Although, he wasn't aware of what he did, so as result, i'm still kinda dizzy after he used Rising Force.

Kael: Why don't you go and tell him this now?

Leaf: Because...it has to be something he should discover alone.

Kael: But...you'll keep getting killed if he is still using his powers wrong.

Leaf: I know...but i won't give up. I have faith in him. One day, i'll meet Master Fael, and everyone else, in the real world, for sure.

Kael: .....

Leaf: Don't cry. follow me, i can sense where he is, you where going to the Dream Depot right?

Kael: Okay, but, will you try to see him?

Leaf: He's not ready to meet me yet.

Kael: I see, i'll keep quiet about this.

Leaf: You better.

Dream World

Music - Perishing One


Akina: I say that, but dreams are kinda cryptic...I just can't see to figure it out what's Senpai's Dream.

Then, she sees a door.


Akina: Hm? What is this?
???: Some dreams appears in the form of a door, because they are so complex, they are kept into a room until the dreamer wakes up.

Akina: I see...wait...

Akina: Alicia Testarossa!? You where alive all along?

Alicia: No! Still dead. How do you know me anyway?

Akina: Well, the story of your mother is kinda common knowledge in some organizations.
Alicia: Oh.

Akina: Well, if you're here, it means you're not really dead.
Alicia: Yeah but, eventually my conscience will vanish, so i won't be around anymore.

Akina: ...
Alicia: In the meantime, i'll keep watch over my sister. That is when i want to live my final moment, by Fate happy.

Akina: Alicia....
Alicia: So, will you enter or not?

Akina: Y-Yes, i don't know if Suzaku Senpai will be there though.
Alicia: It is a girl with the same haircut as you, but black.

Akina: YES! THAT'S RIGHT!
Alicia: Then you're lucky.

Akina: Okay, thanks for the information.
Alicia: Ah wait!

Akina quickly enters the door, she couldn't hold her excitetement anymore, however, Alica was regretting that she didn't warn of something to her earlier.

Alicia: I forgot to warn her that she should take care. Usually...dreams inside a door...are too sad....

Dream Castle - Illusion Sanctrum (Dream Depot)

((Well , I've never planned to leave it hidden. And even if I wanted, I wouldn't be able to. I'm a horrible liar...))

BGM: Laughter and Merriment


Magio: Uhhhh...

Upon hearing these words, Anna fainted. Giovanni grabbed her before she could hit the ground.


Giovanni: Ummm... she fainted... like, totally.

Magio: Well, I thought that you guys cared about me, but not this much...

Giovanni: Magio, we came to the Dream Realm with the intent of finding you.

Magio: O-Oh, I see. I never thought you all were after me.

Giovanni: *sigh*... And now, what should we do with them?

Magio: We'll help them with this shock. Oh, but first...

Necrox and Lilly were both in the ground, rolling around while laughing wildly. After a little, they stopped, gave a hard sigh, and looked up... only to see Magio staring at them?


Magio: You two done laughing?

Necrox: *chuckle* Y-Yes, Your Majesty... pfft... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Lilly: We're just... trying to... pffff... oh God... *giggle*... hihihihihihihihihi~!! Oh, my stomach is hurting!!

Magio: Maaaaaan... talk about me causing trouble again... I'm sorry, guys...

Giovanni: Well, that's to be expected. After all, we care about you.

Magio: Ugh, talk about troublesome... now how am I supposed to calm them down?

Giovanni: It's just like Marie said. The worse has passed, so we have to stay calm. Right, Anna?

Anna: *wakes up fastly* PRINCE MAGIO!!! Huff... huff...

Magio: Uhh... hi.

And... Anna faints again. Both Magio and Giovanni left a hard sigh, at the same time.

Dream Castle - Illusion Sanctrum (Dream Depot)

**Laughter and Merriment playing here as well**


Thomas: ....

Hugh: There. There. It will be okay. it will be okay.

Hugh was patting Thomas back.


Fael: Sorry for the overeaction...but man, you sure have a tough job, watching over the dream world.

Marie: Yeah, is this a daily event? I mean, subduing nightmares and all.

Hugh: More importantly, did you see our dreams?

Fael: Even if he did, it doesn't mean he knew us personally until we met at the First Day of School.

Marie: I see.
Thomas: ....

Hugh: Thomas is still catatonic.
Thomas: Urgh...I'll be fine.

Marie: Whew...
Thomas: After i take a nap *faints.*

Hugh: THOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!! Don't faint in front of me!!!

Kael: Yo guys, what did i miss?

Fael: (Hm? I could swear he was bringing someone.)

Marie: Magio is the Dream Sprite.

Kael: Oh, is that so~?

Hugh: He's actually amazed.

Fael: Well, unlike us, he doesn't know how Magio is like outside the dream world.

Hugh: So, there's still hope for a reaction!

Marie: No!

Hugh: AAAAH! Don't stomp my feet!

Dream World - Wrecked Okimara Street

Music - Endless Waltz


Akina: W-What is this? W-Wasn't this a dream?


She sees herself in a corridor of destroyed buildings, she walks between them with a shocked face, then suddenly, a newspaper hits her face, she grabs it and read its contents.

News: Part of Okimara was damaged with a single beam. The authorities didn't reveal more of the details, but there where no casualities.


Akina: Did senpai...do this?

Akina continues to follow the corridor until she reached a part where it wasn't destroyed, suddenly, it started to snow.


Akina: I understand now, when reading about the reports about Senpai, she had a grueling fight with a demon from the Chaos Dimension..Senpai couldn't fight with her all because the strenght of both fighters was absurd and could damage the city, and she couldn't draw the demon out of the city either...

Akina: Is senpai...mourning about the destruction she caused to her beloved city?

???: That is not all...there's more.

Akina: SENPAI!!!

Suzaku: There was something that didn't make the report by my request...there was someone involved in our fight...and i couldn't protect that person.

Akina: W-Who?

Suzaku: You should know, because you saw his photo.

Akina: Gah! Kuro Tori, your younger brother.

Suzaku: That's right, after i finished the battle, the demon would still be needed to be sealed, because he would come back after being killed...however, that demons was too strong for a common seal, which is why the higher ups decided something.

Akina: Senpai....

Suzaku: *points her gun at Akina* Don't get closer...my mental state isn't that great.

Akina: ....What was their decision?

Suzaku: To use memories to make a seal....

Akina: Wha...

Suzaku: Yes. And only my brother, was a suitable vessel, because of something that demon did to him.

Akina: ....

Suzaku: Of course, i tried to stop, but my brother made the decision to be allowed of having that demon sealed in him.

Akina: Why would he...?

Suzaku: His last words where... "Sis, it's okay, i don't want to see you suffering anymore, if this will help bring peace, then so be it, there's no need to protect you anymore."

Suzaku: You see that flower close to your feet?

Akina: Yes...

Suzaku: It was where he the sealing ritual took place...they used all of his memories to peform a strong seal...

Suzaku started to tear up after that, Akina couldn't help but try to get closer, but was met with Suzaku's gun, what Akina didn't knew is that this Bad Dream was plaguing Suzaku ever since the "death" of her brother.


Suzaku: You know what's the worst? I can't get closer to him or else the demon will react with my presence and make him unstable.

Akina: Even knowing that, you'll still go?

Suzaku: Yes...It doesn't matter what happens to the world...this is by my own free will.

Akina: Doesn't matter? Senpai, what happened to you? You're the ones that likes this world very much, the small things of life that always made you happy, that brought that signature smile on you...

Suzaku: That Suzaku doesn't exist anymore...

Akina: No! I won't accept it! I want to see them again! Your red wings. I WILL bring back my beloved senpai.

Suzaku: I see...but did you know Akina? ...Those wings...i want to see them again too.

A Gunshot is heard, then everything goes blank for Akina, suddenly, she sees the world filled with dreams again.

Music - Requiem


Akina: What just happened?
Alicia: It seems she woke up before the shot hit you.

Akina: ....
Alicia: I'm sorry for now warning of this before.

Akina: It's okay...i was hasty back there...it won't happen again...just...leave me alone for a while.
Alicia: Fine...

Akina sat on the ground, looking at it while reminiscing about her times with Kuro Suzaku, it didn't take too much for Akina to start sobbing.

Dream Castle - Illusion Sanctrum (Dream Depot)


Magio: ... Yes.

Giovanni: "Yes"... what exactly?

The room opened and it showed the rest of the Dream Realm. Now, it was filled with dreams, and it even had a sky. Magio looked at the "sun", smiling.


Magio: Night after night, I watch over the Dream Realm. Seeing everyone smiling, living another reality, idealized by the feelings of the heart and fabricated by the mind. And whenever a Nightmare tries to destroy them, I'm always there to destroy it. So, you can say it's a hard job. But it's something that I'm truly pleased to do.

Giovanni: But... don't you get tired? I mean, you never felt like resting or leaving that to your guards?

Magio: Never. As I said, protecting your dreams is my duty and I shall fulfill it until the day I die.

Giovanni: ... And... what about your own dream? You have one, don't you?

Magio looked to the ground. Even Lilly and Necrox, who knew all of that from the beginning, looked surprised.


Magio: ... I don't even know anymore what is to have a dream...

Giovanni, Necrox and Lilly: !!!

Magio: It's not only my voice that is sealed. I can't dream. I tried once, but never I was able to.

Necrox: You... never told that to us...

Magio: That's not an important fact, so I never told you. I got used with that, honestly.

Lilly: Magio, that isn't something you can simply deny like that. Then... if you can't dream... what gives you any reason to continue?

BGM: Treasured Memories


Magio: Simple answer: you all.

Giovanni: H-H-Huh?!

Magio: You all and everyone are the reason I keep moving. To see you achieve your wishes... to see your desired future happening... that's what I want more than anything.

Lilly and Necrox: Magio...

Magio: I know what you're thinking. To sacrifice myself... to put others in front of my own desires... risky gambles that I do every time...

Magio: But when those gambles make those who I love happy, I feel myself accomplished. That's why I don't care on how I feel. And that's why...

Giovanni: You... Magio...

Magio: ... That's why you all are unforgettable for me. You are like lights that came to shine the path I chose upon. And I don't want you to disappear. What I want... is that those lights that illuminate me shall bring the world their peace.

Magio turned back at them. He said serious.


Magio: With that, I want you to know that I will be there for you, no matter what! Whenever things do seem hopeles and that there will be no way out, I'll carve a path for you to leave despair. I... I promise!

Fael: I see...

Fael: I'm glad you're willing to go so far for us, it just shows how much you values us.

Fael: But...

Fael turns his back to the group.


Fael: You still doesn't care about yourself, about your feelings...and that's bad...

Marie: ...

Hugh: Hey, where are you going?

Fael: What? I'm going back, we already know that Magio is fine, and besides, you guys didn't get to see your dreams yet, right?

Kael: ...Well, you got a point.

Thomas: Fael, don't tell me you're angry...

Fael: Not angry, just frustrated...

Dream World


Leaf: Hmmm...Where is Miss Akina? I want to talk with her before returning to Master's Fael soul...

Akina: ...

Leaf: Oh, there she is.

Akina: Oh, hello.

Leaf: Hi...what's wrong, where you crying right now?

Akina: I won't lie...i was.

Leaf: Why? Sorry if i'm too intrusive.

Akina: Well, i can't tell you.

Leaf: For real?

Akina: I really want, but i can't.

Leaf: But, it's the Dream World, it's not like there's someone watching us...

Akina: ...No is no!

Leaf: Okay, i'll stay quiet.

Akina: I'm sorry.

Leaf: It's okay.

Akina: ....

Leaf: ....

Leaf: Oh, nice to meet you, i'm Leaf.

Akina: I'm...

Leaf: I know your name.

Akina: Really?

Leaf: Yes, now good-bye! Oh, and cheer up okay?

Leaf disappears, leaving Akina confused.

Magio: ...

The next thing Magio saw was a gun pointed at his forehead. Giovanni was in front of him, frustrated like Fael.


Lilly: Giovanni?!

Giovanni: ... You're not the only one who's frustrated with the desire of leave. But let's not make this the finale.

The door suddenly closed and got filled with chains.


Magio: ...?!

Giovanni: Magio, let's reflect a little. Who are you?

Magio: I'm the Dream Sprite-

Giovanni: Wrong. *puts his finger in the trigger*

Lilly: Don't do that!! If you do...!!
Giovanni: Don't you get it? Are you so blind?

Magio: What... are you talking about?

Giovanni: Magio, I'm being honest. I'm tired of you going out and being the shield for everyone.

Magio: Ah...!!

Giovanni: And that's how he feels. Do you really think he came to hear you say words that has that emblematic sentence "I don't care about myself, as long everyone is safe"? He didn't, and I didn't as well.

Necrox: A-Alright, if you're simply going to talk, let that gun down-

And then, a gunshot echoed. On their thoughts, he shot Magio. But the angle wasn't exactly aimed at his face. Rather, it grazed his hair.

BGM: Goddess gardena


Magio: !!... huh?!

Giovanni: ... This isn't what the world does with those who act like that. This is what you'll eventually do with yourself.

Magio: I... I will... kill myself?!

Giovanni: That smile of yours... this energetic feeling of staying beside everyone...this will fade away. I know this because I was just like you.

Magio: You... were like me...?

Giovanni: Always putting the others beside me, always doing what they wanted without any sign of disagreement... and that's what happened. I lost my smile, my energy to move on, my feelings and the love everyone had for me.

Magio: ... Giovanni...

As Giovanni finally lowered his gun, Magio had a flashback. About his talking with Rosenkreuz and Fael before the fight against Spiritia.





Magio remembered of the cold expression Fael showed him. And reminded of Rosenkreuz's words. Although he wanted, never he would be the one that saves all.


Magio: ... You mean... I will be alone... if I don't change the way I act...?!

Giovanni: You understood it now? Then, you say you don't have a dream, but I don't buy that even if you wanted me to. Magio, with the most sincere emotion possible, tell to all of us: what do you really want? What is the wish that you want fulfilled?

Magio thought about it and then, tears fell from his eyes. Then, suddenly, it started to rain. Giovanni smiled as he finally spoke.


Magio: I... I... want to be with everyone!! I don't want to be lonely!!

Giovanni: ... Finally...

Magio: For all of my life, I was always treated like a prince, like an important figure! I... thought I had the true definition of reality, but I never had! Then, I was finally able to be set free, and to explore the world! I always made many friends, and I treasure each one of them! And I try to show my emotions to them...

Magio: But, everytime I try to act with my emotions, I hesitate... because I don't know if what I want will hurt someone or not! And the fact that it will hurt this someone leads me to the possibility that they will leave me alone because of my actions! That's why I'm always putting others in front of myself! Because I want to be with everyone!!

Magio fell into his knees and cried. Giovanni got near him, kneeled and hugged Magio.


Magio: !!

Giovanni: Then, you don't have to worry. You know, whenever things are bad, I'll be there for you. That's the promise I'm doing right now.

Magio: Gio... vanni...!!

Magio hugged Giovanni tightly and his tears poured out more faster. This was the true Magio. A lonely boy wanting to have people beside him.

Kael: (Rain?)

Thomas: Hey, Fael is coming back.

Hugh: With those chains blocking the entrance, who wouldn't...

Marie: Are you...crying?

Fael: No...i'm content actually...

Thomas: Content?

Fael: Yes...You guys know why...
]
Kael: (Well, if i can guess, he's happy for two things, that Giovanni stopped him from leaving...and that Magio is finally expressed what he really feels.)

Leaf: (I kinda want to hug him too.)

Fael: Hm? Someone said something?

Kael: Um...No?

Hugh: Not here...

Marie: Not me.

Thomas: You sure you really heard something?

Fael: Hmm....But i could swear....

Leaf: (Ops, it seems we are on a level that we can hear each others thoughts...i better make sure he doesn't hear my next comments.)

Fael: I guess you're right Thomas.

Leaf: (I hate doing this to him...)

Dream Castle - Illusion Sanctrum (Dream Depot)

BGM: Closed Room, and Stars

After a while, the rain finally stopped, yet the drops floated in air around them. Inside of them, you could see images of dreams throughout the entire realm. Including their owns. Magio stopped crying and let go of Giovanni.


Magio: Thank you for making me understand...

Giovanni: Friends are always there to help each other, you know. Anyway, the rain stopped.

Magio: The Realm actually reflects my own emotions as well. So, when I cried, it rained...

Giovanni: Oh, I see. And what are those raindrops floating?

Magio: Your dreams. I placed them here so you guys can go and enter on them.

Giovanni nodded and got next to a drop that had his dream.


Anna: Uhhhh...

Giovanni: You're finally awake.

Magio: Thank goodness...

Anna: P-Prince... you are here...

Magio: Yes, I am. But not for much longer.

Magio started to fade away. Whenever that happened, it meaned that the morning was coming.


Anna: Huh?! Prince, what's happening?!

Magio: Hurry up to your dreams!! It's almost morning!!

Giovanni: But... what about you? Aren't you coming with us?

Magio: I really wanted to, but I can't. I have to go now.

Magio: Well, I'll see you in the morning!

Giovanni: You bet! No running away!

Anna: P-Please, have a good rest, Prince!

*BGM ends*

And with that, Anna and Giovanni jumped into their dreams. Magio smiled and sighed calmly. Lilly and Necrox stood there, and soon talked to him.


Lilly: I'm... ashamed of myself...

Magio: Huh?! Why?
Lilly: I thought that I understood you entirely... but in fact, I'm just an ignorant that thinks of you as always fine with the world...

Necrox: I don't know what to say. I thought you never felt like that...

Magio: It never sounded relevant... so I never told to you...

Lilly: Magio... I'm so sorry... I will be a better sister from now on.

Necrox: Same to me. We'll pay more attention to your feelings from now on, OK?

Magio: Necrox... Lilly... I love you two.

And then, Magio finally faded away. Lilly and Necrox jumped into their dreams, like Giovanni and Anna did.

Alucard Castle

???: Hmmm... sister's guest is rather a sleepy-head... but as long as I know, she is important.
??? 2: Lady Lisa!!


Observer of Unknown Origination
Lisa Alucard
Rachel's "sister" with origins unknown, since she's not mentioned in the Alucard stories. Her powers are similar to Rachel, yet weaker.


Lisa: ... What is it now, Neco-Arc?


Strange, Cat-like Creature of Another World
Neco-Arc


Neco-Arc: That lady is not awakening!! What should I do?!

Lisa: Neco-Arc, I never ordered you to wake her up... did I?

Neco-Arc: Well, what can I say? I am a cat of business, meow. We have to decide somethings with her- *is grabbed by Lisa*

Neco-Arc: MEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!! *is thrown away*

Lisa: Now, do me a favor and get out... your ridiculous face is starting to bother my gut and I'm feeling really bad.
Neco-Arc: Y-Yes, Lady Lisa... meoooooooooooow...

All burned up, Neco-Arc left Lisa's room. She looked at the moon and at the garden of roses.


Lisa: Hmmm... I will pay him a little visit...

Fael: Oh, well, what was my dream again?
Alicia: It's this one!

Fael: Really tha-wait.

Kael: ALICIA TESTAROSSA!?

Fael: You were alive all along?
Alicia: No! Still dead. That joke was done before though.

Kael: Seriously?

Fael: So...you appearing on my dream wasn't coincidence...
Alicia: Yup, my conscience is here. You should hurry up to your dreams.

Fael: Y-Yes.
Alicia: Hugh's dream is that one, Marie's is this one, Thomas dream the one above him and...

Kael: Mine is this one.
Alicia: How you can tell?

Kael: I'm the only one dreaming with Uni.
Alicia: Well, too bad, that's actually Uni's dream.

Kael: Dammit.
Alicia: Your is right here.

Kael: Okay, see you guys at morning, oh and Thomas, come to the tent once you wake up.

Thomas: What for?
Kael: I'll tell you there.

Thomas: Fine, good errr...night everyone!

Marie: Night!!!

Dream World


Akina: Their energy signatures dissapearing....it seems they are leaving this world.

Akina: ....

Akina: Well, i better look at the good side of things. Senpai must really be in city, i'll find her! But...i still don't know what she came here...wait.

Akina: To meet her brother...i guess that's right. I'll send an E-Mail to my higher ups to see where Kuro Tori is, that might give me a great hint.

Akina: In the meantime, i'll appreciate the view once more, as Necrox said, this place makes you feel at peace.

Then, she spent her last moments in the dream world by looking at other dreams, feeling happiness inside of her and with her spirits lifted, she once again promised herself that she would find Suzaku. Slowly closing her eyes before coming back to reality.

World Crossers Guild - Seraph and Giovanni's Room

The sunlight strokes passed through the window, illuminating the room. Giovanni woke up with a big stretch.


Giovanni: Yaaaaaaaaaawn... man, what a sleep. And I'm feeling full of energy!

Giovanni: (Maybe a reward for defeating a Ranked Nightmare? I hope so.)

When he looked, Seraph was sleeping in a chair. Giovanni got up and walked near him.


Giovanni: Hey, Seraph. Wake up.

Seraph: Hnnngh... awake already?

Giovanni: Of course, today I'm going to the school.

Seraph: Alright then. You ready?

Giovanni: Yup. My bag is all set since yesterday!

Seraph: If that's it, then let's go.

Seraph got the same jewel from yesterday and dropped it on the floor, opening a portal. Both crossed it.

Dream Castle - Etoile Sirius

On the library, Lilly woke up in the Teleporter. She felt a lot of energy within her.


Lilly: I guess defeating Ranked Nightmares is good. I'm feeling very active today.

She got up and walked back to the library's center. There, she found Marie and Anna sleeping in the table, with the latter already waking up.


Anna: Yaaaawn... good morning...

Lilly: Good morning. Well, ready to work?

Anna: Yes, I will clean the mess right away!

Lilly: No, not here. In the school.

Anna: H-Huh? You will take me with you to the school?

Lilly: I said we weren't leaving you behind. Now, let's wait Marie so we can go.

Scarlet Devil Mansion - Necrox's Room

Necrox woke up and stretched. He looked around.


Necrox: Nothing's better than defeating a Ranked Nightmare!! Alright, let's head to the school!

His window was already open. Necrox flied away to the school.

School - Fael and Magio's Room

Magio woke up on his bed. He looked around and thought a bit.


Magio: (Alright... time to start the day!)

Music - Awakening to a new day ((Changed name))

Sunshine Hotel


Akina: Wow, i woke up better than expected.

Akina: It is a pity...but i have to leave this comfy bed.

She get's up and picks a telephone near the bed and call's the room service.


Akina: Hello? Room Service? I would like my breakfast here.

Then she hungs up, takes a bath and dresses her more appropriate clothes.


Akina: Appearing like that in the Dream World is a thing, but doing so in the real world might get me arrested.

Akina: Not complaining though, i just don't mind being seen like that. But i wouldn't go so far and stay dressed like that all the time.

Akina: Well, let's see if there's Mail for me!

She literally jumps at the chair and turns on her computer.

World Crossers Guild - Main Lobby

Lyzer: It seems that Main and Serena left again.

Shuren: Yes, but they know the guild is in good hands.
Lyzer: (That's not what i'm talking about...but seeing that you're not dependant on their presence, shows how much you're growing.)

Seila: Morning everyone, sorry i was in a bad mood yesterday.

Nepgear: It's okay.

Rosa: Care to tell us what was it?

Seila: No, or else i'll get mad again.

Kail: Such a weird excuse...

Ragna: So, we're patrolling again today?

Shuren: No, today you'll have the free day, but, when an emergency comes, i'll notify you all.

Nepgear: Okay! You know what that means Friday?

Friday: ARCADE!!!

The two left for the Winter District, to play Spirit Calibur ((Soul Calibur lol))


Rosa: Well, i guess we should leave as well, you coming Shuren?

Shuren: No no! I need to watch the compu-
Lyzer: I'll do it, you can go.

Shuren: For real?
Lyzer: The leader needs some rest once in a while, plus, when you leave the guild, it's usually to go at the Secret Police HQ or the Secret Multilopolis.

Shuren: Well, you got a point, but what about you?
Lyzer: I don't really care about that.

Shuren: Fine, see you later Lyzer.

Dream Castle - Etoile Sirius


Marie: Wow, even sleeping in the table, i had a good sleep.

She notices that Lilly and Anna are already up, she puts on her glasses and greets them.


Marie: Good Morning you two.

School - Guild's Tent


Kael: Everyone are still sleeping.

Thomas: Yo, what you wanted to tell me.

Kael: Actually...

He started to whisper something in Thomas ear.


Thomas: You think he'll accept, i mean, we are...
Kael: Speak low.

Thomas: Oh, i mean, we are sharing info with a stranger.

Kael: I know, but, i assure you that we can trust her. (She's a World Traveler after all)

Thomas: Okay, i'll call him them...

Thomas left the Tent, then dialed a number on his cellphone, he was calling Barry.

School - Fael and Magio's Room

Music - Intermission (Makai Kingdom)

Fael got up, covering his mouth, not to yawn, he mumbled some things that couldn't be heard before uncovering his mouth.


Fael: Whew, Morning Magio, if you thought this was strange it's because everytime i wake up, i say something weird. Hehehehe...

School - Hugh and Necrox's Room


Hugh: Ah yeaaaah! I'm all charged up! Exit Stage Left!

As he opened the door, he hit someone.

Music - Ditty for daddy

Ayame: Maxwell....damn yooooou!

Hugh: Exit Stage RIGHT!

He runs away, while being chased by Ayame.


Ayame: Come back here, running in the corridors is forbidden!

Hugh: Like hell i will!

Akina: Oh yeah? Take this! Punch of the Flaming Death!

She throws a fireball in the form of a fist, Hugh nearly gets hit, dodging it in time. However, someone else was hit...it was the school's janitor.


Hugh and Ayame: !!!!!!

Lilly: Good morning! With everything done, let's go! *jumps really high*

Anna: Uhhh... Princess Lilly...!

Lilly: *lands* Anna, no more "Princess", OK? We're friends, so you don't have to be courteous around me and the others, OK?

Anna: O-OK... umm, L-L-Lilly... your rabbit ears...

Lilly summoned a mirror and when she looked, her rabbit ears were up.


Lilly: ... Oh... they're up...

Lilly: WAAAAAH!! HOW THE HELL THEY'RE UP?! I NEED MY HOOD!! MY HOOD!!!

Anna: Ummm... are they so bad that she needs to hide them? I am unable to see how unusual they are...

School - Corridor

Necrox passed by the window. He saw the scene entirely.


Necrox: Woooooowf... you two are going at it already? Talk about a nemesis vs. nemesis thing...

Then, he noticed the strange thing he said. He grabbed his cellphone and looked at his head. His wolf ears were showing and at his mouth, his canines were a little bigger.


Necrox: ... Craaaaaaaaap..

School - Fael and Magio's Room


Magio: Nah, I don't mind. Sometimes, weird things makes the day happier... nyaa!

When Magio noticed, he said nyaa. As he looked up, cat ears rose from his head. They were white and really fluffy.


Magio: Oh, I never told you too...

Magio: Me, Necrox and Lilly have animal forms. Necrox's a wolf, Lilly's a rabbit and I'm a cat.

Magio: You were saying weird things, right? Not more weird than me with these ears, so I'm the weirdo here!
