[IC] The Black Nightmare of the White Dream (MagusDream X Kael Taiyou)

[MagusDream]

Spring Zone: Festival Site

BGM: Windy Hill... for Windy Valley still playing


Magio: Alright then, so let's-

Kokoro: HOOOOOOOOOLD IT!!

Magio: Owww, don't scream right in my ear...

Kokoro: Magio, can we please check some tents?! Please?! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?!

Magio: Fine, then let's go and check the-

Laharl: Now you hold up just a moment! As the Overlord of the Netherworld, I am the one who's going to spend time with Magio, not you!

Kokoro: No way! Nuh-uh! I said first!

Hybrid: Heey, no fair! I'm going to spend time with Pops! I'm his daughter!

Magio: Hey, guys-

The discussion began and evolved so quickly, they were almost going to battle. At that time, Reimu pulled Magio towards her.


Reimu: We have work to do, so I'll be taking Magio with me, OK?

Kokoro, Hybrid and Laharl: Aww, that's unfair!

Necrox: (Nice save, Reimu...)

Magio: Alright...?

Reimu: We'll meet up once we gathered some information.

And she quickly left pulling him with her. She seemed strangely happy while Magio was utterly confused.


Lilly: (Am I the only one who thinks that she has some ulterior motive under this "gathering information" talk?)

Anna: Hmmm... I know we would not split up, but there are some tents that I would love to check now.

Agni: Well, then let's go and check them.
Anna: But if we do, we are going without the rest.

Agni: C'mon, let's go. I'm kinda curious too, so I'm really excited to walk around right now.

Anna: W-Well, if no one minds...

Necrox: Just go already. Seeing you being so indecisive is ticking me off.

Magnum: Agni, can I go too?

Agni: Sure, I don't see any problem.

Kana: P-Please wait for me. I will accompany you too.

The group composed by Anna, Agni, Magnum and Kana left to another way of the festival.


Lilly: I guess Kokoro, Hybrid and Laharl will be going together after everything that happened, so... that leaves us all.

Necrox: I don't know where to go first. Everything is so excessively cheerful and bright that it kinda bothers me.

Lilly: Seriously, it's a festival, not some obscure ritual in a cave.

Necrox: Thanks for the info, Captain Obvious. You made things too much clearer now.

Lilly: Well, it isn't my fault if you can't take some little light on your life!

Necrox: I'm a demon, what do you expect? Which kind of demon would be a fricking light lover? ((Uhh... Flonne...))

Lilly: Oh, you want to start something?!

Necrox: You speak BS and I'm the one to blame now?!

And they began discussing... once again. The teachers, who were just going upstairs a while ago, came right at the moment to see the scene.


Kai: And there they go again... like always...

Rinnosuke: Honestly, can someone stop those two?

Keine: We can't leave for two seconds and those two are being a pain for everyone...

Mokou: Somehow, this became kinda normal... yet boring and annoying...

Cookie: Those two will never enter on an agreement...

The Swan Song Event

Spring Zone - Streets

Music: To be King


Zana: So...they finally met...Tsubasa meets with the relic that was stolen from her organization during the Zwei Wing Concert...Kanade...I really want to help her... but i have commited way too many sins...But worry not...in the case she perishes...i'll make sure you stay together for eternity in the after-life.

Winter District - Outside Metro Station


Saika: Why i have a feeling we just skipped a flashback? ((You did. It was mostly how Kanade became a Symphogear user, but don't worry, it will show up later.))
NA-Girl: Oh, so you know the name of this armor huh?

Tsubasa: I would never forget what was stolen because of a mistake of mine. And i would never forget the life that was lost because of my uselessness.

Both girls took a fighting stance.


Tsubasa: What irony to see this armor and the Gungnir together in the same place, but for me...this cruelty is a relief.

Saika: (Geez, how much of a Drama Queen she is...)

Suddenly, Hibiki starts holding Tsubasa.


Hibiki: Wait Stop Tsubasa-san! Don't fight all-out! She's a human like us!

NA-Girl, Tsubasa, Saika and Yuuri: DON'T SAY SUCH A STUPID THING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BATTLEFIELD! ((How i wish Alan Flare was here right now.))

She flinches a bit, but doesn't release her grip on Tsubasa.


Saika: And i'm don't know who is much dumber...but good to see we universally agree that this girl is stupid.

Tsubasa: I guess i can get along better with you three rather than her.

Yuuri: I just said it out of habit.
NA-Girl: Then, how about a battle royale?

Saika: I'm in!
???: You're not going!
Everyone: Huh?

Suddenly, a shadow figure flies at high speeds, catching Saika and carrying her away.


Saika: What the heeeeeee-

Yuuri: Saika!
NA-Girl: Well...He did say he was going to help out...whatever.

Tsubasa: (Judging by her reaction, they are just working together, but are not on the same side.)

Yuuri: *Points at Hibiki* You stay out of trouble!

Yuuri runs away, after Saika's captor, leaving Tsubasa with the mysterious girl.

NA-Girl: Okay, show me what you got, Ame no Habakiri!

She uses her extending chain at Tsubasa, who pushes Hibiki out of the way and dodges with a jump, countering with an Azure Flash attack, which got deflected. Tsubasa continued attacking, but all of her slashes where being blocked. The girl was way diferent than she was during her battle with Barry.


Tsubasa: !!!
NA-Girl: HA!


She kicks Tsubasa away.

NA-Girl: Sorry, but i won't lose a third time!

Hibiki: Tsubasa-san!
NA-Girl: I don't need you right now, have a little fun with these guys!

From the cane she was holding, the girl summoned a horde of Noise to keep Hibiki busy. Tsubasa attacked once more, but was blocked.


Tsubasa: Don't avert your gaze from the fight.
NA-Girl: I do it because i can!

As she said that, the girl got her feet kicked, almost losing balance, managind to block a kick in time.

NA-Girl: Don't get so cocky!

She grabbed Tsubasa's leg and threw her to the ground, then warped to the place Tsubasa fell, stomping her head.

NA-Girl: Don't you think you're that mighty Miss idol! If you think you're the star of this show then let me tell you something. My target is actually that girl over there.

She points at Hibiki.

NA-Girl: Since you don't seem to like her, it's weird that you're fighting so hard.

Tsubasa: I promised to not make the same mistake...

Tsubasa points at the sky and summons a rain of blades, making the girl jump away, then, they resume their fight, meanwhile, the numbers Hibiki was fighting didn't seem to diminish, specially for someone of her skill.


Hibiki: I need to help her....Ah! I know! The Armed Gear! If i can summon my weapon, i'll be able to be at least have a level closer than Kanade-san...

She tries her best to summon said weapon, but nothing happens, no matter how much she wishes for it.

Meanwhile

Music: Guren


Saika: Urgh...YOU'RE BEING A NUINSANCE!

The figure is blown away my Saika's Mana Power, as well as opening a crater.


Saika: To think i'd have to draw this much power on someone like you.

???: I feel Kenneth's smell on you...Are you related to him?

Saika: Oh him? I'm just doing some errands.

???: I see, so you're his vassal huh?

Saika: DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT AGAIN!

Saika opens yet another crater with a slash, but she misses her target, who dodges a surprise attack coming from Yuuri.


Yuuri: Saika, calm down.

???: Yes, or else you might cause some serious damage in what looks like to be such a nice place.

Saika: Grrrr....So...what do you have to do with that guy?

???: We're enemies...that's all! i was sent by my master to search for a certain half-vampire who was born to kill my boss before he get's strong enough.

Saika: I see...simple enough...but you happen to be in my way.

???: I was just curious about the smell...but i guess it won't hurt to have a skirmish with people who claim themselves to be demons.

Saika: So it's no use hiding my identity to you huh? Very well...I'm Saika, servant of the Badass Freakin Overlord of the entire cosmos...if you dare to get in my way, prepare to suffer the most gruesome of deaths!

Back to the fight

Both girls seemed to be in equal footing this time around, but nobody could hit each other. Tsubasa knew that, so she needed a way to defeat her oponent. Then, she threw three knives at her oponent.

NA-Girl: Are you mocking me?

She deflects them away, jumps into the air, then uses her Nirvana Gedon attack, blasting Tsubasa to the ground.

NA-Girl: Well, you said that you were useless before...and i say you're still useless now.

Tsubasa was struggling to get up.

Tsubasa: Certainly...I'm useless...I trained to be a sword...yet i survived shamelessly that day. I'm a disgraced and useless sword.

She gets up with the help of her katana.


Tsubasa: But this ends today...i'm going to recover my honor by retrieving that armor.
NA-Girl: Is that so? I find it had in the condition you are right no-

The girl notices she can't move. She looks behind her, one of the knives that was thrown at her was stabed right where her shadow was. It was the Shadow Weaving Techinique, a skill that Ogawa teached Tsubasa in order to immobilyze her oponents.

NA-Girl: A mere trick like this won't hold me for long...

Then, she stares at Tsubasa, having a hunch of what might happen next.


Tsubasa: Let's settle this under the moon that is watching over us.
NA-Girl: You're going to use...The Swan Song?

Hibiki: Tsubasa-san!
Tsubasa: This is the determination of a guardian! Engrave it in your heart!
NA-Girl: Oh no, i'm going to be a victim of a stupid suicide attack.

But it was too late, Tsubasa already started sing the song.

A Flower Blossoms in Full Glory on the Battlefield

World Crossers Guild

Music: For the sake of one flower


Mana: *Flash* Girls...did you feel that?

Asuka: Yeah...

Maria: What was that? Such a horrible feeling...

Not only them sensed that, all of the Psychic users of the Guild were able to feel something coming from the Winter District. But it wasn't only them.

Festival Site

Fael suddenly holds his chest and gets on his knees.


Fael: Urgh... (W-What is this sensantion? I feel like something has been broken...And i'm also feeling the pain...)

Rand: Hey! Are you okay buddy?

Mel: Yeah, your eyes are bigger than they should be.

Fael: Urgh...Well..I'm just a little dizzy...

They took Fael to a bench and gave him a bottle of water.


Rand: Does this happen often?

Fael: No...maybe it's something i ate.

Mel: Do you want us to take you home?

Fael: No...I'll be fine.

Rand: Alright, if you say so...Take care buddy.

They help him get up and see him walking away. They were still concerned.


Mel: Say darling, do you think we should stay close to him?

Rand: Yeah, i think so. It would be the right thing to do...but those eyes...He wants to be alone for now.

Meanwhile ((Barry's portraits are unavaliable for some reason...So at a later date.))

Barry: ...it's no use, i just can't seem to calm down.

Suddenly, he sees a van approaching, it honks to him.


???: Mister Togami, i'm here.

She parks it then leaves the car.

Barry: You must be officer Vineria Oston, am i right?

Vinny: Yes...but i'm more comfortable with the name Vinny, is that okay with you Sir?
Barry: Very well.

Vinny was a soft-spoken and educated girl, she worked under Mio Kouno as part of her unit, or what remained of it after the helicopter crash. She is a skilled magic user who also happens to be fighter. Vinny got permission to get a driver license at a young age. She also likes to fiddle with machines, and much like Nepgear, she gets all fidgety around hi-tech equipement, dropping her polite persona all together. The fan she pilots contains some equipement. She does have a secret though, she is actually a weapon maker, just like Lyzer, Jerry and Kai, focusing more on magic weapons, something only restricted to certain families who already got said weapons. She's working on a secret project that promises to cause an revolution.


Vinny: So...Anything happened yet?
Barry: No...at least not here in this festival yet. I got a call from Genjuro Kazanari, reporting me on something that happened at the Winter District.

Vinny: I see...if there's anything you want to analyze just give me a call sir.
Barry: Very well.

She goes back to the van for an instant and comes back with a table full of frog like machines.


Vinny: Oh, and one more thing. Make sure to take care out there sir.
Barry: Why are you saying that to me? I don't need such kind of advice.

Vinny: Maybe you don't...but remember...

Vinny pulls out a small wrench.


Vinny: Unlike machines...humans can't be replaced...ever...So make sure all of your hard work is not in vain. Now if you excuse me!

Then, the girl starts to hum a tune while taking one of the frog machines apart. Barry continued to look at the festival.

[MagusDream]

Spring Festival: Magio and Reimu

BGM: Wingless Angel

Magio and Reimu walked around the tents, seeing all the people have fun and laugh. Still embracing his arm with hers, she began to talk.


Reimu: This is such a peaceful scenery. I wish it could last forever.

Magio: You're right. I do wish that too.

Reimu: ... Say, what do you think that is the purpose of Spring? I mean, it has some meaning, but what do you think about it?
Magio: Hmmm... if I would kick, I would say union. It's a time where people are united, no matter the reason.

Reimu: I do think so too. You remember the parties back at Gensokyo, when we did flower-viewing?

Magio: Of course I do. It was such a nice moment.

The good moments. Peaceful reminiscing made Magio and Reimu laugh a little. Despite everything that was happening, they still managed to laugh.


Reimu: Umm... Magio, can I speak something? It's... kind of important.

Magio: Yes?

Reimu: After we resolve all of this, what do you plan to do?

Magio: Me? Well...

Reimu: It's OK, you don't have to answer now. I just want you to know that I will be there to support you.

Magio: Reimu...

Reimu: A-And... umm.. I-I... I do really-

*BGM fades*

Etna: My, my, look who we have here...

BGM: Etna Boogie

Coming towards them, she walked with a taunting face. Magio's smile colsed as she came nearer and nearer.


Etna: If it isn't Mr. Star Magician himself. Already betraying the Prince, are you?

Magio: Etna...

Etna: Aww, why the scorn face? C'mon, we're friends, aren't we?
Magio: That was before I knew how much of a backstabber, doublecrosser you are.

Etna: Why everyone must be the grudgy type? It was just a minor detail.

Magio: Minor? You almost led me to my death with your MINOR trick.

Etna: Sheesh, you won't let go of that, will you?

Reimu: And you still ask?
Etna: Oh, a shrine maiden. You're being a little petty, don't you think?

Reimu: Don't think I don't have anything to do with this. You send that irritating brat to my shrine on purpose, didn't you?

Etna: Ah, how can you accuse me of such thing? It isn't my fault that he chose that place. (lie)

Magio: ... Etna...

Etna: Alright, this two against one is starting to piss me off. I just happened to find you here and you're already being hostile with me. That's like some conspiracy against me.
Magio: URGH! You're such a hypocrite!

Etna: Oh, I won't let that pass away! I can be called as everything, but not as a hypocrite!

Soon, Flonne and Sicily came to them. They were going to say hi to Magio, but it seemed the discussion was serious...


Flonne: Uhh, you two just met?
Etna: Can you believe on that, Flonne?! I'm being called as a hypocrite without proof! That's so mean, isn't it?
Sicily: W-Well, I guess it is, but-

Flonne: That's right! You can't call a person a hypocrite without proof, even if it's an undeniable fact!

Etna: Yeah, that's what I'm talking abo-

Etna: Hold it... undeniable fact?! Flonne, which side are you on?!

Flonne: Oops, I guess that slipped, teehee.
Sicily: Oh, Flonne...

Magio took a breather while regaining his composure. Reimu was kind of glad that he didn't bursted out.


Magio: I guess I'll hold back for now, before I waste more of my breath in a stupid discussion with someone like Etna?

Reimu: That's such a prudent course of action. I'm behind you.

Etna: Oh, come on! Now I'm something like a person classifier?!

*BGM stops*

Mao: Seriously, again?

BGM: Go, Mao! (Instrumental)

In their vision of sight, Mao came and stood right next to Magio. He gave him a little smile and turned back to Etna.


Mao: Etna, you're a troublemaker now, tomorrow and after that. But could you please stop being so troublesome to others?
Etna: (Oh no, not Mr. Lecture...)

Mao: Moving on. Hello, Magio. How have you been these days? I've been looking for you.

Magio: If it is for some weird experiment, I'm out.

Mao: That's not the reason. I just wanted to see you. Is there anything bad on that?

Magio looked at Mao with a weirded face. His first reaction was to put his hand at the devil's forehead.


Magio: You don't have a fever, you look veeery the same Mao from before...

Mao: W-What are you doing?

Magio: *glares* Etna...
Etna: Why you always look at me first?

Reimu: What's wrong, Magio?

Magio: There are some RARE cases of kind demons in the Netherworld. Flonne right there is an example of such demon.

Magio: But him?! That's seriously abnormal! He's not the demon that would go to someone because he missed them!
Raspberyl: See? He agrees with me!

To finish the group of demons, Raspberyl came with Almaz.


Raspberyl: Mao, being a delinquent?! That's like... totally absurd!

Almaz: Maybe he changed his ways and became someone really nice and kind-

Magio and Raspberyl: That would never happen, Almaz! It's Mao, not some idiot demon!

Almaz: Why are you two ganging up on me?

Etna: Welcome to my world, Almaz...

Flonne: Aw, I think it's great that Mr. Mao changed his ways. At least, he's more responsible than he ever was.

Magio: Did you say responsible? RESPONSIBLE?!

Mao: W-Why are you so surprised?

Magio shoke his head in denial. He didn't heard that what Flonne said. He was denying that so hardly that he had an idea.


Magio: Reimu, is Nitori running a stand at the festival?

Reimu: I think she is... why?

Magio: Good, we're taking Mao to her now!

Reimu: But she's a kappa, not a doctor!

Magio: I don't care! Her gadgets might to something to bring him back to normal! *grabs Mao's arm*

Mao: H-Hey, wait! There's no need for you to pull me!

Magio: I'm not letting you escape! Beryl, some help here!

Raspberyl: Gotcha!

While he held one arm, she held the other. Together, they started to pull Mao, who wasn't even resisting.


Reimu: (Damnit! Why doesn't he pull MY arm?! This was supposed to be only me and him!!)

Almaz: W-We better follow them and help Mao! It could get bad if we leave those two doing anything they want!

Flonne: Y-You're right! Let's go after them!

Soon, the rest started to follow Magio, Raspberyl and Mao. All of them, except for Etna.

*BGM stops*


Etna: (This is starting to get interesting... of course, it's Magio, so it would be interesting anyway.)

Etna: (I'm gonna trick you once again, you stupid mage. It'll be so easy, taking what you have right now...)

[Kael Taiyou]

School - Rooftop


Ayame: ...

She was staring at the night sky. Her mind still stuck on her defeat against Alan Flare.


???: You look troubled little lady.

From the top of the fence, stood an old man dressed in some kind of fighting garments.


Ayame: And what about it?

???: Are you perhaps doubting yourself?

Ayame: That's not it...i'm pretty confident in my strenght...it's just...

???: HAH!

The old man warps in front of her, startling Ayame.


Ayame: Gah! *takes a fighting stance* W-What?

???: That stance...it is similar to mine... ((Not the portrait though, but just roll with it.)) so it seems that rumors about concepts of other worlds being incorporated in this one is true after all.

Ayame: Concepts? What are you talking about?

???: I'm talking about this!


They collide fists, each taking the same stance.


???: You seem to know my trademark style...The Undefeated of the East.

Ayame: Just...who are you?

Master Asia: I am known as Master Asia. What's your name Young Lady?

Ayame: Ayame Blaise.

Master Asia: Very well. I shall make you my disciple.

Ayame: What? Why?

Master Asia: Certainly, your fist was strong, but you focus too much on raw strenght. An skilled enemy could easily dodge such an obvious attack.

Ayame: N-No way...I'm not fast enough?

Master Asia: You just need to learn how to compress more energy without it hindering your movements, if your fists are strong, thus, your speed is also good, the problem is how you manage both factors into something that will devastate your oponent.

Ayame: Hmm...

Master Asia: Since you look like you are not in a good mood to understand my teachings, i'll come back here again in ten days.

Ayame: What? Why Ten Days?

Master Asia: By the look of your eyes, it seems that this certain something that is bothering you will persist for this amount of time.

Ayame: (He can read me so easily...)

Master Asia: Take care Young Ayame.

The Old Master warps away, Ayame is impressed by how fast someone of his age is. The last thing she hears is his laugh. Then, she notices some kind of scroll on the ground.


Ayame: Hm? When did...

Ayame picks it up and open, inside it there was some writings and a note.


Ayame: 'In the meantime, why don't you give Sekiha Tenkyouken a try?'

She looks at the scroll again, thinking about what Master Asia told her.

Winter District Streets


Saika: Okay...What the actual Netherworld was that?

???: Oh! So Symphogear users can do something like that huh?

Saika: ...

???: Oh, i know, don't avert my eyes from the fight right?

Saika: No...I'm not really concerned...They can just blow up for all i care.

Music: Atrium of the damn Emperor


Saika: Alright! Where i was? Ah yeah, crushing you to the ground.

???: Yes, i almost forgot about that.

Yuuri: Saika, remember to focus!

Saika: Whatever!

Saika dashed foward, actually managing to land her sword strikes this time around, but they were all blocked.


???: Oh! You've improved.

Saika: You're just worth of my attention now.

The last swing managed to make him bend one of his knees.


Yuuri: See, isn't things better when you're not angered.

???: Well then...i guess you also deserve my full attention.

Saika: Urgh...What is this?

Saika feels an enourmous pressure of energy from below, launching her upwards.


Saika: Argh...it's crushing me...

???: Take this! RISING BILLOWS!!!

Saika is crushed by a huge water pillar that ascends to the sky.


Yuuri: Saika!!!

???: Hahahaha! This is fun! Now i get why you demons like to fight so much.

Yuuri: You...

???: You can fight me too if you want.

Yuuri: Well, you defeated my superior, of course i'm going to fight you.

Yuuri started her assault, attacking with rapid-fire stabs, who were being blocked by the mysterious servant.


???: I see...You indeed look more skilled, but less powerful.

Yuuri: Less powerful huh?

She strikes him once more, said strike sending him some meters away.


Yuuri: Sonic Charge!

She dashes foward at high speeds, nearly managing to hit the man.


???: Whoa!

Yuuri: There's more...

Before she could use her dark lance move, she felt the same pressure Saika was been hit with.


???: Sorry, but i can't be taking any risks...it was fun, but you need to go down. RAISING BILLOWS!!!

However, Yuuri was having none of that, overcoming the pressure that was lifting her on the air, she charged her spear with a massive amount of mana energy, making her spear look like a giant lighting bolt.


Yuuri: Perish! THUNDER BOLT!!!

She hits the man with the move, causing a massive crater on the ground. Yuuri falls safely on the ground.


???: Argh...

Yuuri: *pulls her spear from the man* Sigh...Seriously...This is what happens to those fight happy guys...

???: Hehehehe...

Yuuri: If you can still laugh...then...

Yuuri backs off, just in time to dodge an incoming blast.


???: You're really a savy girl...

Yuuri: I have to...or else i won't be able to handle my boss and the Overlord i serve...beside...speaking of my boss, i must tell you that she really is persistent.

???: I noticed that she still alive.

Saika: But you failed to notice four giant swords hanging above you!

Saika: DARKNESS FALLS!!!

???: AAAAAAAARGH!!!

He gets hit by the attack, Saika emerges from a pile of rubble.


Saika: I wasn't unconcious...just resting on an very hard bed.

Yuuri: (So you did faint...) I won't ask about the bruises though.

The man starts to fade away.


???: Heh...

Saika: Running away huh? I can tell the diference...you didn't die from those attacks.

???: Yeah, you're right. I just want some final words before i go away and you won't see me in a long while...
???: Soon, the gates of the Chaos Dimension will open...and my master will reclaim full power.

Saika: Chaos what now?

He vanishes, using his own manner of Dimensional Travel.


Saika: Sigh...

Yuuri: Chief...

Saika: Yuuri...whoever gave you the permission to hog the spotlight of this fight?

Yuuri: I was just saving time for you...and as you could see, you landed the finishing blow, aren't you proud of yourself.

Saika: Well....Of course i am...hmhmhmhm...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[MagusDream]

Spring Festival: Agni's Group

Anna went excited from tent to tent, checking everything with gleaming eyes, like a children who had never seen a rollercoaster. Agni, Magnum and Kana were trying to hold her speed a little, but they weren't managing to keep up with her.


Agni: I can't keep up with her. She moves so fast from tent to tent that she barely pays attention at what the people are doing.

Magnum: But you have to admit, when she looks at the tents with those gleaming eyes of her, she's incredibly cute.

Agni: Yeah, she really is cute. Like, just look at her wearing that uniform!

Magnum: I can't believe it! Are you some kind of lolicon?

Agni: W-What?! N-N-No, I'm not!!
Magnum: Then, why you're embarassed?

Agni: I'm not embarassed! Quit joking around, damn it!

Magnum: I wonder how everyone will react once they know you're a lolicon!

Agni: W-What?! You better not start some weird rumor about me just because I want to consistently hug her because she's really adorable!

Both Magnum and Kana went silent.


Kana: Ummm... you know that your words just prove what he said, right?

Agni: Ah...!

Magnum: Agni's a lolicon~! Agni's a lolicon~!

Agni: Oh, you shut up!!

Kana giggled at how friendly they were, even when discussing. At that time, Seraph and Reisen came towards them. He put his hand at Agni's shoulder as the boy looked back.


Seraph: Agni. I didn't expect to found you so soon.

Agni: Whoa! Don't startle me like that!

Seraph: Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to surprise you like that.

Reisen: You two look like older and younger brother.

Agni: Uh-huh! We're just like that!

Seraph: I second that.

Magnum: S-S-Sir... Seraph...

Upon hearing the shaky voice, Seraph turned to Magnum, that was trembling.


Seraph: Magnum? This is unexpected.

Agni: Magnum is going to help everyone with Peach.

Reisen: Oh my, that is good to know. We'll need all allies possible for this.

Magnum: I-I'll do my best to not disappoint you, Sir!

Seraph: You don't have to be so scared. I'm not going to bite you or anything.
Magnum: Y-Y-Yes, Sir!

Agni: ... It'll take some time for him to speak normally around you.

Kana: Well, there is an air of superiority when he speaks, in my opinion.

Reisen: Hmmm? I think I saw you somewhere.

Kana: O-Oh, I was at the Hakurei Shrine in Gensokyo. I was... trying to haunt it.

Reisen: I see...

As they talked, Anna screamed from a little far away.


Anna: Agni, come here!! They are selling some beautiful jewelry here!!

Agni: I'm coming! Just a moment!

Anna: Oh, look!! There is a game tent to win prizes!!

Agni: Anna, wait!!

But off she went to the tent.


Agni: It's better if I go after her or else she'll vanish from our eyes.

Magnum: And after you reach her, maybe you should-

Agni: Shut up!! If you speak one more thing about that, I'll shoot inside your mouth!!

Agni went quickly off to Anna before Magnum could say anything.


Reisen: He seemed bothered about something...

Kana: You honestly do not wish to know...

Seraph: Then we will leave it at that. Let's join them.

Spring Festival: Kokoro's Group

The three were still down after being dismissed by Reimu. However, Laharl was the first to speak.


Laharl: This is stupid. I'm following him!

Hybrid: Yo, what do you think you're doing?

Laharl: Isn't it obvious? I'm going after them and I'll take him from that girl by force.

Hybrid: You gotta be kidding me. You can't even defeat a fly!

Laharl: Shut up! I'll show you the Overlord's true power, then! Come!

Laharl and Hybrid left after Magio and Reimu, as he wanted to prove his strength. As for Kokoro, she stood there, looking at the ground.


Kokoro: ...
Man: Heeey!!

As she was drowning herself into thought, she heard the scream and looked at two men who were arguing.

Man #1: Where are the fireworks?!
Man #2: Oh, damn! I forgot them!
Man #1: Dude, how could you forget them?! The fireworks always happen at the festival! Now what should we do?!

After hearing that, she quickly flew to them.


Kokoro: No fireworks?!
Man #1: Yeah, miss. This will be a year that there will have no fireworks!

Kokoro: Not on my watch! Let's put the show on the sky!

Kokoro flew to the high sky and started to dance. From her fans, light was being shot. Said light exploded into fireworks of variated colors and forms.

Festival Site

Hugh's Side

Music: The long afternoon of the mages ((even though it's evening))


Marie: They really put a lot of effort into this festival this year. Just look at everything! It's hard to decide where to go first.

Hugh: ...Ok Marie, what's your game?

Marie: Huh?

Hugh: You're being overly cheerful right now.

Marie: But...this is my normal.

Hugh: Eh?

Marie: C'mon Hugh, don't tell me you forgot. I wasn't always the bookworm you think i am right now.

Hugh: ...

Marie: (He seems to have realized it.)

Hugh: So...You want to enjoy the festival in the way you truly are instead of someone who takes her job and school work seriously right?

Marie: Yeah...at least for this instant...i...

Hugh: Very well Mei, i shall accompany you.

Marie: Trying to act all gentlemanly...It's not like you!

Hugh: Yeah! You're right, but the intention is all the same.

Sayaka's Side

Miku: Geez, if i knew Hibiki would get late, i would've called my other friends to meet up here at a later time.

Sayaka: It happens.
Miku: I know but...Hibiki's been acting weird as of late. Lately, she's been getting home very late...And she refuses to tell me the reason.

Madoka: When she feels comfortable enough, she might tell you. (Just like Mister Fael did.)
Miku: Maybe...

Homura: So...where would you like to go first?

Sayaka: (Wait...did she just ask that?)
Miku: Well...we were planning to relax at the cherry trees. There's a nice view from the sky there, and lately, there's been a meteor shower.

Homura: A meteor shower huh? Alright, let's go there.

Madoka: Seems like a good idea.

Sayaka: R-Right. (Guess Homura is compensating by passing most of the trip without saying a word. That or...She sympatizes with this issue with Hibiki.)

Platinum Brothers Side


Nicholas: Hey! It's Drake!

Drake: Hi guys.

Karina: (I want to say sorry for the whole trapping him on an ice block thing...but...)

Bernard: It's been a while Miss Platinum. You look okay despite your condition.

Karina: (This guy is here...) You're also looking good yourself sir.

Nicholas: (Uh-oh, sis doesn't look happy.)

Bernard: By the way, did you happen to see my irresponsable cousin? Today is the day of the year that he is allowed to meet with my little brother.

Karina: We met a while ago, but went separate ways. You might get lucky if you search a little more.

Bernard: Very well then, have a nice night.

The Celest Gold brothers walk away, Karina still has some anger boiling up inside of her.


Karina: Why he has to be so cruel with a family member?

Nicholas: Sis...

Karina: Don't worry...I'm calmer now...It's no use getting upset about it.

Nicholas: R-Right... (But you still look pretty upset.)

Fael's Side

Fael was still walking aimlessly, but still hasn't met with his mom and sister.


Fael: Still no sight of them...

???: Um...excuse me. Did you happen to see a blue haired girl around these parts?

Fael: Well...Does she happen to be named Sayaka?

???: No...Sorry for bothering you.

Fael: Um...

???: What?

Fael: Err...Nothing...What i was going to ask was probably going to be pretty intrusive.

???: Go ahead, i don't mind. Maybe it's something that can help me out.

Fael: (Maybe?) Well, does she happens to be a relative of yours?

???: Hahaha! You were right, it is pretty intrusive!

Fael: H-Hey...

???: She's a sister of mine, but i doubt she ever knows i exist. I don't even have a photo of what she looks like today...but i'm certain that she has the same haircolor as mine.

Fael: Well, there's a lot of blue haired girls around the city, There's my friend Sayaka, there's Hugh's little sister, there's Amilia...

???: Ok, you don't need to list them all.

Hayate: Ah! There he is.

Fael: Oops, i gotta go. Good luck on your search.

???: Thanks...Oh, Isana.

Fael: Hm?

Isana: It's my name, Isana Umi.

Fael: I'm Fael Celest Duarte.

Isana: Fael right? It was nice meeting you.

Isana walks away, resuming her search.


Fael: (Hopefully, she'll find who she's searching for.)

Satou: Who is she? A Classmate of yours?

Fael: No...I've never seen that uniform before.

Hayate: Maybe she just likes to walk around like that.

Fael: Maybe...

Then he notices that Vita, Signum and Shamal came as well.


Fael: Hi...
Shamal: H-Hello!
Signum: *blank stare* ...
Vita: *bored stare* ...

Fael: (Crap, i don't know what to say.)

Vita pokes him with a cricket hammer.

Vita: You look like your head is in the clouds.

Hayate: She's right, you look rather distracted.

Fael: True...Actually...

Then, the fireworks happened.


Satou: Oh, so we're just in time. The festival officially started.

Fael was quick to notice that the fireworks was actually danmaku, but decided not to spoil it. But even still, he couldn't help but feel relaxed.

[MagusDream]

Spring Festival: Agni's Group


Anna: Agni! Look! It is that game where you pummel the hammer strongly at the button and try to win a prize!

Agni: I saw it. Do you want to try it?

Anna: No, I am not that strong. Although I wanted that hat...

As they talked, Seraph and the rest soon joined them.


Reisen: Are you aiming that hat, Anna?

Anna: Yes.

Agni: ... Alright, let me try it out.

Anna: Really?!

Agni: It can't be that hard. I'm used to swing hammers like this.

Seraph: ...

Agni: Seraph?

Seraph: Nothing. Good luck.

Agni grabbed the hammer and smashed the button, reaching the maximum level of the bar. As a prize, he won the hat and gave to Anna, who started to wear it. However...

BGM: Back to Mad


Agni: (Wait... this thing...)

Agni looked at it fiercely. It looked like a normal hat, but was it truly one? As he looked at it, he noticed an eye under the shadows of the hat and immediately recognized what that thing was.


Agni: Anna, that's not a hat! It's a-

As he spoke, the Eggmet popped up, much to Anna's surprise.


Anna: AAAAAAAAAAH!! Eggmet!!

As she threw him in the air, Agni shot it. The rest of the Eggmets in the tents started to rise, making all the people panic.


Agni: Was this planned?

Seraph: There's no way to know. Agni, return back to the Triplets!

Agni: But-

Reisen: We'll take care of them here. You all should begin to search who is behind this!

Agni: Alright then. Anna, Magnum!

Magnum: Roger!

Anna: Y-Yes!

The three ran back to where they first met with the rest, leaving Seraph, Reisen and Kana behind. Seraph took Celeritas in the form of an axe.


Reisen: *sigh*... and here I hoped for a peaceful moment...

Seraph: I guess peace will be rare with everything happening.

Spring Festival: Lilly and Necrox

BGM: Back to Mad plays here too

The rise of the Eggmets reached Lilly, Necrox and the others standing around there at the entrance of the site.


Lilly: Eggmets?! Where did they-

As they wondered, Necrox looked at the top of the stairway that was leading to the site's high point. A familiar figure smiled at him and went back.


Necrox: ... Damned Schirach!! I knew she was behind something!!
Lilly: What should we do?!

Bubbles of danmaku fell upon some Eggmets surrounding the brothers. Keine and the rest of the teachers began acting.


Keine: We'll evacuate the civilians! You two must hurry and join the others!

Mokou: In the meantime, we'll do the cleaning here, while you can do the cleaning right there.

Necrox and Lilly immediately ran to the stairway, where they would meet everyone.

Spring Festival: Magio's Group

BGM: Back to Mad plays here as well

They were walking to Nitori's stand when the Eggmets started to pop up. At instinct, Magio took out his Keyblade and readied himself while surprised.


Magio: Eggmets?!

Almaz: Holy god, they came out of nowhere!

Etna: Great, what a fiiiiiine luck we have...

Raspberyl: This is bad. There is a lot of them!

Suddenly, a powerful flux of water started to take the Eggmets surrounding them away. When they saw, the kappa was flying with the help of her bag and started to attack with missiles filled with water.


Nitori: Magio! Guys!

Magio: Nitori!

Nitori: We'll try to take them down and save the people. Magio, head back and go with your friends to the top point of the site! The stairway is at the entrance!

Magio: Are you guys going to be OK?

Mao: Don't worry! The more time you spent here, the more it will take to defeat who's behind this! Now go!

Flonne: You don't have to worry, Magio! We'll save everyone!

Magio: ... Alright, I'll leave this place to you all! Good luck!

Magio flew away to the rest of the group.


Reimu: Alright, let's do our work here!

[Kael Taiyou]

Festival Site

Music: Distortion Zone ((Yay, re-using a music i used only a few posts ago.))


Yang Long: Barry, we're back!

Barry: Report!

Silvy: Mission complete, we managed to install those chips on the eggmets.

Barry: Good work...Vineria, time to put your plan in action.

Vinny: ALWAYS Call me Vinny!

Vinny pulls a button and presses it, making all the eggmets short circuit and stop working.


Kei: It's a good thing that someone sent one of those "hats" to our department.

Vinny: Since confiscating them all would mean that Schirach would know that we discovered her plan, we decided to play it safe and i secretly commanded the hunters to search for all the eggmets and put one of these chips on then. A friend of mine gave them the chips. And as a soon as i pressed this button, BAM!

Jasper: Talk about outplayed.

Barry: We'll be able to escort the civilians away more safely...But don't let your guard down just yet.

Meanwhile


Seila: So it started...

Carlu: Let's see how well they'll handle this situation.

Lena: Don't you think we should help the civilians out in the meantime?

Carlu: Some people already got it covered.

Lena: Ah yes, you're right.

Mina's Group


Thomas: Whoa, what just happened?

Mio: Oh, so this is what those chips did huh?

Masaki: Oh hey Mio.

Mio: Here Masaki.

She delivers Lyzer's device to Masaki.


Mio: You can use this to call Cybuster.

Masaki: Wait what?

Mio: Don't ask how it works.

Mina: People are still pretty panicked, Celica, go to the shelter to see if there is someone injured. It's near the south entrance.

Celica: Got it. Minerva will help me out with the movement.

Kokonoe: (I better command Minerva to take her to the south entrance...I can't trust Celica's sense of direction...)

Celica summons Minerva and it takes her away by jumping over the people.

Kael and Uni with Sasha and Rina


Rina: Oh, what is happening?

Sasha: Is this part of the atraction? Seems interesting.

Kael: Not really.

Sasha: Can i join in? I don't think shooting targets is a good idea for fun.

Uni: (She thinks so too...It's kinda boring when you can shoot it without even aiming...and hit the center.)

Rina: Eeeeeeehhh...

Sasha: Just kidding, if things get hairy, i'll join in, right Rina?

Rina: AH? Why are you asking me?

Uni: We'll appreciate if you decide to help out.

Kael: In the meantime, stay safe.

Kael and Uni walks away.


Rina: (I forgot this place seems to be in some kind of conflict.)

Nepgear's Group


Friday: Well, isn't this gracious.
Nepgear: EH? But i didn't get to do anything yet. ((Nepgear's portraits also unavaliable for a while, but instead of reuploading i'll update them.))

Amilia: ...

Friday: You're looking more fierce now, just like how we first met you.

Amilia: I tend to be more focused in battle.

Friday: Oh! So we'll get to see your transformation?

Amilia: Well, sorry to dissapoint you...

She holds her arm above her, then does a palm strike foward, activating her Magical Device. ((Much like a megamerge outside a cutscene.))


Amilia: I don't really have one.

Friday: Oh.

Amilia: Let's go...I won't let the peace my friends are trying to achieve be ruined.

Amilia flies foward.


Friday: I can see that she is very dedicated to the cause. Let's not fall behind.

Celest Family


Drake: Fael!

Fael: Drake?

Satou: Oh my, it is Drake, look how much you've grown.

Drake: W-Well...I had a healthly meal every da-

Bernard: So i assume you're going to fight this threat.

Fael: Yes, but i'm doing it my own way. Not because i work for the Four Families.

Bernard: Hmph, the same excuse everytime.

Fael: How about a little help then?

Bernard: I would but, i haven't inherited the Excalibur.

Fael: ...

Music: Undying Sadness


Leaf: Now look here.

Fael: Leaf? (I thought she was evacuating.)

Leaf: You need to stop with all of this fanaticism. Don't you think you're just making things worse?

Bernard: And pray tell me what i'm making worse?

Leaf: You're breaking this family even more. It's because of you that (my master) Fael had to leave his old house...And it was also thanks to you that he had to live away from his cousin.

Drake: (Who is this girl? How does she know that?)

Leaf: Instead of helping him out, you just keep pinning him with responsabilities just because you can't wield a sword. You're nothing more than an ignorant fool!

Bernard: INSOLENT BRAT!!!

Bernard was going to slap Leaf, but Drake stood in the way and blocked it.


Drake: Brother no!

Bernard: OUT OF MY WAY YOU FAILURE!!!

He throws Drake to the side, making him hit a metallic surface.


Fael: You...

Hayate: Brother!

Fael: ...

He stops midway, having listeted to his sister's plea to not hurt Bernard.


Fael: Yeah...Taking this guy down wouldn't be worth it...i have more important things to be doing now.

Bernard: Hmph, i didn't came here to be insulted by insolent people...You had luck little girl, but think well before you talk to me, a member of the mighty Celest Family.

Leaf: ...

Bernard: Since the festival look like it will be cancelled, Drake, i'll be waiting you at the car. Don't take too long.

As Bernard leaves, Fael and Leaf goes to Drake's aid.


Satou: Are you okay?

Drake: I'll be fine.

Fael: Drake...Sorry if i can't do anything...

Drake: Don't worry...I'm just happy to finally meet you again...I should only blame myself for being so weak...

Leaf: No...You're not weak...If you have the will to protect people, you're far from weak.

Drake: ...I can't...I can't defeat him...But still...thanks for the words...

Leaf: No. I should thank you for protecting me. (If i could, i would lend my powers to him...)

Drake: Hehe!

Karina and Nicholas arrive at the place.


Nicholas: Drake! What happened?

Drake: Nick...I won't be able to help out...i'm leaving this to you.

Nicholas: (Oh, he means...) Right, take care man.

Drake gets up and walks away, still feeling pain.


Fael: ...

Karina: Fael...

Fael: Let's go guys!
Signum: Well make sure that your mother and Master Hayate will be safe.

Fael: *Nods* Thanks...

[MagusDream]

Spring Festival: In Front of the Stairway

BGM: A Midnight Fairy Dance

The Eggmets surrounding Lilly and Necrox stopped moving. Agni and the rest shot through the wave and reunited with them.


Agni: Did something happen with them?

Lilly: They seem to be frozen in place somehow.

Necrox: I don't know what happened, but they won't be able to attack anymore.

Anna: But how could this happen? There is not anyone who could have-

Necrox: Oh, there is someone. Schirach Fuhler.

Anna: She did this?! But how?!

Lilly: She probably left the Eggmets as some kind of prize for the merchants. Since they look like hats when hidden, no one thought it was suspicious.

Magnum: A good way of tricking people into putting those things into the tents and to make the people fall for it.

As they were discussing, Magio came quickly to them, destroying the rest of surrounding Eggmets.


Magio: Sorry that I'm late!

Lilly: We still have the others to come. I just hope they're close.

Necrox: Let's not worry about them. Even if they're far, a bunch of Eggmets won't stop them.

Lilly: Wow, that was unexpected from you.

Necrox: Hey, I know what my friends can do. ((On Chapter 4, you won't be saying the same thing, Sir.))

Magio: Yeah. We'll be able to stop whoever's doing this.

Anna: Sure we do!

Agni: Let me send a signal to them.

Agni pointed his gunblade to the sky and used Melancholy Cluster to shoot a spread fire in the sky.


Agni: I hope it helps.

Magnum: It will. Even if it's a small signal, they'll see where they are, through it or through our aura.

[Kael Taiyou]

Flashback Arc

((Double Chapter Yay!!!))

Chapter 2 - Part 7

Spring Zone - Veterinary Clinic

Music: Crimson Heart

After leaving the animal at the vet, they discovered that it was actually a ferret ((Also known as Mustela Putorius Furo)). He was going to stay the night recovering at the place. Kael was still wondering how it got hurt.


Kael: (Was he too weak to tell me what it was?)

Fael: Say Nanoha, did your brother told you about me?
Nanoha: Hmmm...Not really. I stay most of the time alone, so i didn't get to hear much from him.

Kael: ...

Amano: Kael?

Kael: Oh? Sorry, i'm a little distracted.

Uni: You better pay attention or we'll leave you behind.

Kael: Hehehehe...
Nanoha: So...I was thinking...Who's gonna stay with him? The ferret i mean...

Fael: I can't, mom is allergic.

Kael: Wait, really?

Amano: Aww man...

Uni: Hey Kael, the appartament we're staying allows pets right?

Kael: Well, as long as we're responsable for them...wait, you guys talking about that ferret?
Nanoha: Yes, i mean, you're not going to stay with it for that long until the original owners show up so.

Kael: (He doesn't have an owner. It seems this girl doesn't have much of a grasp of the situation...that ferret it is not what it looks like.) I guess we can stay with him. (It's convinient for me after all, i need to ask that little guy some questions.)
Nanoha: That's nice.

Fael: You're sounding like as if you wanted to stay with it.
Nanoha: Eh?

Uni: We'll make sure to bring him for visits, right Kael?

Kael: Y-Yeah.
Nanoha: Really? Yay!

After leaving Nanoha at her house, Fael got the chance to meet her older brother, Kyouya Takamachi once more. After a while, they resumed their tour ((I cut a lot of dialogue here, i don't know why i decided to focus on Nanoha's family if i don't even like her at first place.))

Winter District - Shin Ayame Landmark Tower




Kael: I just noticed that it got dark fast.

Amano: It's what happens when we have fun.

Fael: Well, we did start the tour after lunch. So we only had an afternoon.

Uni: Want to call it quits for today?

Amano: I guess so...

Kael: Hm? Hey, It's Mio.

Uni: She's talking with someone at the phone.

Fael: It's probably Barry.

Kael: Why don't we go and say hi?

Mio notices them before they could approach, she turned off her phone and went at the group's direction.


Mio: Oh, it's you guys.

Amano: Hello.

Fael: Did something happen?

Mio: Not really, it's something you shouldn't concern yourself. It's personal reasons actually. Anyway, how are you guys doing?

Kael: We're exploring Winter District and decided to visit this place to look at the tower up close.

Amano: And it is just as Mister Shiro Takamachi said, this place is nice at this hour.

Mio: Oh?

Fael: We visited the Takamachis a while ago. ((That nobody got to see because cut dialogue)) We met the younger daughter before that.

Mio: That's nice. Well, i'm going now. It's rarely that i get free time like this.

Fael: (That explains why she's not on her school uniform.)

Amano: Wait, who were you talking to on the phone? It was Mister Barry right?

Mio: Actually, it was with a friend of mine. But as i said before, nothing for you to worry about.

Fael: Hmmm...

Mio: Anyway, have a nice tour, i'm going back home.

Mio leaves.


Fael: (She was upset about something...But why i didn't ask more about it?)

Amano: Well, i guess it's going back to Summer Area.

Kael: Can we pass through Spring Zone first?

Fael: Hm? Why?

Kael: Well...Maybe we can accompany you back home.

Fael: Something's bothering you right?

Kael: No...

Fael: (You can't hide it...) Besides, i'm not feeling like going back home right now.

Kael: That's fine for me, you can still follow us anyway.

Uni: So...Spring Zone first, then home.

Fael: Whatever.

Amano: I don't mind walking a little more... (Even now that i don't have to worry getting back home late...)

Chapter 2 - Part 8

Spring Zone Streets

The group were passing through the vicinity close the Veterinary clinic, Fael wasn't paying much attention, he was curious to see what Kael was on about.


Fael: (I really don't see the point in this.)

Kael: (There's something been bothering me ever since i've left that clinic...and it not that ferret...it's something else...)

Amano: Man, this place eeriely creepy for some reason....Also, i have a confession...I don't like dark places...

Uni: Um...Stop hiding behind me please...

Kael: !!!

Music: Decisive Battle


Fael: What?

Kael: He's calling again.

Amano: W-what? Who?

Kael: And that's what worries me...Fael, which direction is the clinic again?

Fael: Let's see...

Kael: Actually, nevermind, i think i found our jackpot.

He starts running foward, prompting the others to follow him,


Then, they saw Nanoha carrying the Ferret.

While running away from a black creature.


Kael: Tch...this is what i feared it would happen.

Amano: W-Why Nanoha is here?

Kael: Remember when he was calling for us in our minds?

Fael: Nanoha could hear it too...And now that he's in danger again...

Uni: This was the jackpot you were talking about.

Kael: Let's hurry before they are caught.

Amano: L-Look, it's going to attack from above, we won't reach them in time.

Uni: Locking and Firing!

Uni summons some kind of rifle and aims right above Nanoha, hitting the monster with a clean shot.


Uni: Urgh...I'm not as strong as i was before...

Kael: Don't worry!

Amano: That was more than enough!

Kael and Amano closes in and slashes the monster away.

Nanoha: Y-You guys?

Kael: Yo!

Ferret: (Impressive, he was dealt with so easily) You came.

Amano: Wait, you can actually talk?

Kael: I did say that...right?

Amano: You said talk into our minds.

Uni: Amano, what i told you about hiding behind me?

Amano: But...the Ferret...
Monster: !!!

Amano: This thing is pretty persistent huh?

Fael: I've seen a lot of those (persistent types) at the Central Multilopolis, so this one won't be a problem for me!

He chages at the monster, while thing also lunges at him, Fael conjures light energy on his sword, making it glows brightly in the night.


Fael: HEEEAAAA!!!

He hits with a jump slash, then finishes off cutting the monster in half with a horizontal slash, the monster exploded thanks to the energy Fael infused in the sword earlier.

Music: Silent Place

Nanoha: A-Amazing...
Ferret: (There wasn't even the need for a sealing spell...) Who are you guys?

Kael: Only three of us are outsiders. That guy...is from this place, and he's good like that. I just happen to come from a Multiversal Agency.
Ferret: Gah!

Kael: You've got a lot of explaining to do.
Nanoha: Um...

Kael: Not now Nanoha.
Nanoha: Not that, look at that shiny object on the ground.
Ferret: Ah! The Jewel Seed!

Kael: WHAT?

One of the reasons that Kael came to the city, which was to search for the Jewel Seeds, it was an order from his superiors.


Fael: It says XXI on it.
Ferret: I see...

Kael: Well guys, i guess it's really time to go back to Summer Area, and you're going with us.
Ferret: I understand.

Amano: But...

Fael: Don't worry, i'll create some excuse as to why there's some destruction on the asphalt, plus, i'll be taking Nanoha back home.
Nanoha: You're not going to harm him, right?

Kael: Of course not.
Nanoha: Really?

Fael: Yes, he really means it.
Nanoha: ...

Fael: Now, let's go.

Festival Site - North Gate

Miku: Um...Sayaka...

Sayaka: What?
Miku: This is the direction to the north gate.

Sayaka: Wait really?

She squints her eyes and noticed that they ended up reaching the north gate.

Miku: Now we are even more far away from the shelter...

Madoka: Sayaka-chan...

Homura: Are you that really big of an idiot?

Sayaka: Ahahahahaha... (Ok, guess the gig is up...) Oh well, at least we can go around the whole festival site instead of going through it and reach the shelter.
Miku: Yes, but i'll lead this time.

As soon as they leave the north gate however, Zana Tsuki met them.

Music: Burden of Truth


Zana: (Yup. They are here alright.) Greetings my friends. Lovely night isn't it?

Sayaka: There's nothing lovely about this. This place is being attacked.
Miku: Come with us to the shelter.

Zana: That won't be necesary, now that i've met with you, i have some business with you...more specifically, this Homura Akemi.

Homura pulls a gun and points at Zana, surprising Miku.


Homura: Where did you learn my name?

Zana: I've known you for some time. Although, this is the first time we meet personally.

Homura: That still doesn't answer my question.

Zana: Now now, there's no need for guns for this.

Zana aparently teleported to behind Homura.


Zana: Just so you'll know, the bullets will be a waste.

Homura: (I can't win if i'm not transformed...)

Sayaka: How fast...How come i didn't see that?
Miku: W-What?

Zana: I want to see for myself if you will take the same path as "her."

Homura: Path? Her? Who are you talking about?

Zana: I'm talking about you.

Sayaka: C'mon, you're not making any sense!

Zana: I'm not the one to lie. Now if you come with me, you'll understand what you're talking about.

Homura: No. You're too suspicious, i just can't trust in what you say so i'm shooting you down.

Although, Homura notices that there was something missing from her hands, she looks at Zana and notices the girl holding something.


Homura: My...

Zana: There was once a man who was able to see what a soul looked like in it's truest form...But after that, he came to see humans as objects... ((She's talking about Relius Clover.))

Sayaka: You! Give that back!

Zana: I can't...And as you can see, i can probably do this to you as well.
Sayaka: Kurgh...

Homura: Are you someone who wants to eliminate competition?

Zana: I'm not even one of yours if this answers your question. Now, it's time to sleep.

She makes the gem dissapear. Homura's body starts to go limp.


Homura: Guh (...I'm losing...conciousness...She took...it...a...way...)

She falls on the ground. That was something Madoka would rather not remember to see.


Zana: I'll be taking the body as well, if you don't mind.

The body falls down a dimensional portal.


Madoka: What are you going to do with her?

Zana: I'm going to tell her about a memory i have stored within me...and Homura happens to be in there. So it was rather fortunate that i got to meet you three here.

Sayaka: Just who are you anyway?

Zana: Want to know? Follow me out and watch the struggle of these brave heroes, as well as a great tragedy that will occur upon them, and then, i'll reveal myself, but for now, just call me Zana Tsuki.

Sayaka: For now?

Zana flies away, the girls stayed silent.

Miku: ...

Sayaka: Kohinata...can i trust you with Madoka?
Miku: Eh? Don't tell me you...

Madoka: You're going to chase her? Don't do it Sayaka-chan! It's too dangerous...also...

Sayaka: I know...we promised that i wouldn't take part in their fight but...

Sayaka clenchs her fists.


Sayaka: We all owe Homura...We all fought together against that thing...together...And i won't leave her behind.

Music: First Mission (Opening ~ Bombing Mission)

Then, she enters the festival site again, after Zana.


Madoka: Sayaka-chan!!!

Festival Site - Rooftop of the Fortune Teller


???: Dang, i was planning on doing a fortune-telling business on the festival, but it turns out, even the decoration wants to kill you.

Sasha: Aparently, it was just those "hats."

???: I see...I came from far away, and it seems this place is as hectic as always.

Rina: It's not your first time here?

???: Yup! I have a story with this place.

Sasha: I see...If we ever meet again, mind if tell us that story?

???: It's kinda crazy, but sure.

Isana: Huh? What are you guys doing up there?

Sasha: Just appreciating the show. You?

Isana: I'm strong enough on my own, so i'm not worried about the attack.

Amilia flies above them.


???: Whoa, this one was in a hurry. My hood nearly fell.

Rina: I nearly fell over with her flying by so fast.

Sasha: You know, for a badass (Because i can't say Dimensional Traveler out loud.) You're rather fragile.

Isana: (That girl right now...That flyed above us...)

Rina: Um...

Isana: Sorry, talk to you later.

Isana run at the direction Amilia was flying at.


Rina: What?

???: I also didn't understand.

Sasha: (This is getting interesting.)

Meanwhile at the Secret Police Group


Barry: I think that's supposed to be a signal...some kind of flare gun perhaps...

Vinny: Because it is. The group is going after it, i can sense it from here.

Jasper: Wow, that's impressive.
Mio: Vinny is a genius magician.

Vinny: Don't flatter me that much chief. You're still better than me. I can't compare to someone like your.
Mio: (You're wrong...With the talent you have...maybe one day you'll replace me...)

Back to the Main group


Hugh: Here! We saw the signal and came running.

Marie: We made sure to take down some eggmetts on our way here...In the case they start walking again or something.

Mina: Guild's team reporting for duty.

Masaki Thomas and Mio: Here!

Karina: We are also here!

Fael: And ready anytime.

Kael: Battle Couple here!

Uni: Hey! Don't say embarassing stuff like this!

Kael: Sorry! Anyway, Friday and Nepgear aren't here yet.

Fael: I see...The Guild's team will stay here. We don't want to have any surprises.

Mina: Don't worry, we got your backs. Do what you have to do bro!

Karina: (Considering what happened at the prision, this might be a good idea.) I'll stay with the Guild's team as well.

Nicholas: And me too.

Fael: Alright, Hugh, Marie, Thomas, Kael?

Thomas: We're ready.

Hugh: Ready to kick her ass down!

Fael: Magio, Necrox, Lilly, Agni, Anna? You guys are ready too?

[Kael Taiyou]

**Double Post**

[MagusDream]

Spring Festival: In Front of the Stairway

BGM: A Midnight Fairy Dance still playing


Necrox: Do you really have to ask?

Lilly: I'm ready for this!

Agni: You can count me in!

Anna: Wherever you all go, I shall go as well!

Magio: Alright, then let's go!

But when he tried to fly upstairs, he fell as soon as he got to the first steps. He noticed what was that held him, though.


Magio: What the... the rules?!

Necrox: So you noticed. Knowing that and the fact that Eggmets are everywhere, who's the culprit?

Magio: Schirach...

Necrox: Exactly. Let's go and pay her a visit, shall we?

At haste, Necrox ran towards the top of the stairway. Magio, Lilly, Anna and Agni soon followed. As they ran, hidden behind a tree next to the stairway, Azure kept looking at the group.


Azure: (That power... it definitely came from them. But from who?)

Azure: (I have to find out. If I do not, then I will never be able to properly help.)

She merged into the cherry blossoms around the stairway and began following them. And she wasn't the only one following the Triplets. Right on the sky...


Riko: The Toadstool Triplets are already on their moves, I see. I honestly believe that it will happen, so it's better if I keep my eyes on them as well.

[Kael Taiyou]

Spring Festival: Stairway

Music: Split Mushroom

Fael's group followed right away. Marie had an idea.


Marie: If we are under the rules...Fael.

Fael: Hm?

Marie: See if you can initiate a Maximum Break.

Fael: Alright...Thomas, Hugh, i'll be needing your guys help for this.

Thomas: Okay!

However, Fael's Commander Aura was useless in that place.


Marie: Yep, we can't use the same trick as before. Too bad, since it's stronger than the victory burst. ((I pretty much forgot about this mechanic, victory burst i mean, but i'll replace it with something else in the future.))

Hugh: So...it's beating her the old fashioned way huh? I'm okay with that.

Thomas: Let's proceed with care guys.

The group continued running foward.

Festival Site

Sayaka was running after Zana, until suddenly, the flying girl dissapeared.


Sayaka: What? Did she just teleport again?

Sayaka: Damn...this is so frustrating.

Seila: Oh? Miss Sayaka, i thought you evacuated already.

Sayaka: Hm?

Lena: Oh, this is your chilhood friend right?

Seila: Yes.

Carlu: The Miki family huh? They did good in leaving this place.

Sayaka: I would like to stay and chat, did you guys happen to see a girl with a blue hair flying around?

Seila: She did pass through here a few seconds ago, but she dissapeared.

Sayaka: So you guys saw it too huh?

Carlu: What business do you have with her? Must be more important than evacuating this place.

Sayaka: It's particular...personal issues...Alright, see you guys later.

She resumed her chase, or rather, now it was a search. Meanwhile, back to the Guild's Team.


Uni: And there they go.

Mina: Good luck guys.

Masaki: Now then...what kind of surprises might be waiting for us?

Nicholas: Don't say that out loud Masaki...It tends to bring bad surprises.

Mio: Don't tell me you're chickening out?

Nicholas: (If you got chased around by a demon with super strenght, you would know.) Diferently from my sister, i get tired easily in physical combat.

Karina: However, he has a better control of his powers than i do.

Nicholas: But i don't have the same raw power. So techinically, sis is still stronger.

Suddenly, Amilia arrives.


Amilia: Hello.

Mio: Hey! That's a nice costume.

Amilia: It's my barrier jacket...in other words, by battle armor.

Uni: Like a transformation right? I think Nepgear told me about it. (She's also more serious looking.)
Nepgear: Huff...Huff...

Uni: And speaking of her.

Friday: That's why i told you to take it easy...
Nepgear: huff...but...I didn't...want to lose Amilia...out of sight...

Friday: Yep, we definitely need to climp up more of the stairs of the Hakurei Shrine if you're getting this tired.

Nicholas: Hm?

He notices something moving in the shadows, but decided to ignore it, thinking he was seeing things.


Isana: Man...that was close...

The girl then, observes the group, specifically Amilia.


Isana: This aura....There's no mistaking it...she...

She continued to observe the group. Had she just suddenly appeared and told what she came for, she would look suspicious. Not only that, she was also feeling another familiar aura.


Isana: It is as they say, take things slow and steady.

[MagusDream]

SPring Festival: Top of the Site

Magio and the others reached the top. Once they did, they saw Schirach sitting on an Eggmet, waiting for them.


Schirach: Why, hello you all! Fancy party you're having right now, huh?

Anna: There is nothing for you to enjoy! How could you destroy the festival?

Schirach: Chaos is needed or life won't be fun at all, right?

Necrox: We don't need your little idea of having fun to be excited about living. If anything, you drive my blood crazy to just torture you.

Lilly: I'll pay you back with full interest for trying to steal my library from me!
Schirach: Held back by a grudge? Isn't that a little antique for a girl like you?

Magio: That's enough! Schirach, I'll definitely put you down... right here, right now!

All of them called their weapons, prepared for charging at Schirach. Once she saw that, she got off the Eggmet and looked, focused at one point.


Schirach: ... Hold on, is that-

Magio: What's wrong?

BGM: Aliens Conference


Schirach: Hehehehehe... so that's the answer for all of our problems.

Lilly: Answer the question! What are you talking about?!
Schirach: Our aim shouldn't be you and Etoile Sirius. At least, not only that.

Schirach: Magio, I have a deal. The Spring Festival for your Keyblade. Does that sound reasonable to you?

Magio: No deal. I'll keep both of them.

Agni: You're getting too cocky if you think you'll be able to take us down so easily!

Schirach: The same could be said of you. Do you, in all of your heart, believe that I'm going to lose?

Anna: We do believe and we will make it become true!
Agni: That's right! I don't think you have anything to lose if you don't fight, so just quit!

Schirach: Failure is not an option. For those who are on her side, there's no toleration for error. Consider it like selling your own soul for the devil.

Necrox: Don't play the drama queen. If you did that, it's not our problem.
Schirach: ... Magio. If you value the life of the people who stand at this place right now, reconsider it and give me your Keyblade.

Magio: I've already made my statement. I will stay with both!

Schirach: How ridiculous. A bunch of oversized brats are saying all those things about saving and stuff. I just don't know how to react to this nonsense.

Schirach flickered and a big army of Eggmets surrounded the Festival. There were those at the ground and ones flying into the air with the help of small aircrafts.


Lilly: Are those...?!

Schirach: All Eggmets are around the square. With a single order, I'll make them explode everything with the bombs they will drop from those small airships.

Necrox: Damn it! How the fuck did you-

Schirach: Did you think that I would simply use an ambush of Eggmets knowing a trick had the possibility to be pulled off?

Agni: There's too many of them floating around. Just by looking at them, the number seems considerably enough for destroying the entire square...

Anna: We fell on her trap and now she is toying with us?! How could this happen?!

Schirach: ... Magio and the Celest Family's heir. I'll give the both a chance to decide once again. The Keyblade or the Festival?

Magio: How many times do I have to repeat?! Schirach, I'm going to stay with both and I'm going to bring you to the ground!
Schirach: Shameful decision... now, and you? What it will be?

[Kael Taiyou]

Spring Festival - Top of the Site


Fael: Your overconfidence is so funny...

Fael: Did you forget? All these eggmets that were disabled? It wasn't our group.

Music: Winds of La Gias


Fael: I trust on the people of this city, do you think they'll just stand idle and let someoene like you do all of this?

Hugh: Wha- What is that?

Hordes of eggmets were being frozen.


Marie: I-Is that...

Fael: No, it is not Karina.

Tyutti: HYDRO PRESSURE!!!


The Elemental Lord of Ice, Gaddess, had fired a massive ice beam at the aircrafts, followed by.


Rand: I'LL TAKE YOU ALL DOWN!!!


It was Gunleon, a mech piloted by Rand Travis, possessing the sphere of the Wounded Lion, which gives strenght to its user in exchange of causing him massive pain, but Rand could take it all. Everytime he used the sphere, Gunleon would change to Magna Mode. Then mech released an explosive scream, destroying the remaining aircrafts. Once it was done, Gunleon reverted to its normal form.


Kael: Whoa!

Thomas: Fael, you knew there was more of these mechs?

Fael: What are you talking about?

Hugh: You had no idea?

Fael: Yup!

Everyone nearly fell over, except for Kael.


Kael: He learned it with a true gambler.

Fael: It's not about gambling...I trust my friends...It is like Mina said.

Marie: They got our backs right?

Guild's Team


Mio: Man, to think Tyutti was here as well...Now the team is complete!

Masaki: Alright, i pressed the button. Will Cybuster come from the ground or something?

Unfortunately, Masaki's expectations were betrayed, Cybuster, Granveil and Zamzeed came carried by flying machines built by Lyzer.

Lyzer: So, did you like my contraptions?

Masaki: Err...

Mio: Nope.
Lyzer: Oh...I expected as much.

Mina: Heh! Classic Lyzer, always trying to surprise us.

Masaki: But this is being a great help, let's go Mio!

Meanwhile


Yang Long: I'm heading out.

Barry: Mio, Vinny?
Mio: Ah yes, my Ahzi Dahaka is ready to fire at any time.

Vinny: Magi-En-Gun is ready to shoot as well.

Barry: Good, save it for an emergency. For now, the Elemental Lords, plus that newcomer got the metts army under control.

Jasper: (What kind of emergency? Is Barry expecting something more to appear?)

Barry: (We can't let our guard down for an instant...I won't make the same mistake back at the prision.)

Back to the Site Top

Music: Eregion


Fael: Alright, everyone are doing their best, let's do the same guys!

Hugh: Schirach!!! Prepare yourself!

Hugh and Thomas went foward ready to punch Schirach, Marie and Fael supported them with projectiles, while Kael was charging a flameshot.

[MagusDream]

Spring Festival: Top of the Site

Schirach evaded their attacks and fixed her glasses.


Schirach: So that's your answer... how foolish. If that's the case...

Schirach: There's no room for arguments, so I'll just simply kill you all.

BGM: Four Heavenly Kings

Season Final Boss!!
VS. Schirach Fuhler

Schirach: Lichtfaust!

Schirach swinged her hammer on the ground. The ground started to break as boulders rose. She grabbed on and threw it on Lilly.


Lilly: Leaf's Spiral!

With a spin, Lilly created a powerful wind that blew the boulder away from her. However, that gave Schirach the opening she needed. She dashed through those surrounding her and grabbed Lilly by the neck once she landed.


Lilly: Ack...!!

Schirach: I hope you enjoy the sky!

With a swing, Schirach sent Lilly high into the sky. Still not enough, she jumped and hit the magician back into the ground.


Anna: P-Princess!

Schirach: So long, Princess of Knowledge!

Schirach dived towards Lilly in order to finish her. However, as she was reaching, Magio dived into her. She quickly defended but was blown away.


Magio: You bastard! If it's me you're after, then just come at me!
Schirach: So be it! Take this!

She pummeled the ground once again with Lichtfaust, calling more boulders. She swinged her hammer like a bat, sending them all towards Magio's direction.

Magio: Do better than that! White Edge!

Magio slashed upwards and shot a light slash projectile that broke through the borders without fading. The slash came upon Schirach and she started to defend it.


Schirach: Heh, you're not shabby, but this slash won't stop me.
Necrox: Don't get too cocky.

Schirach: What?

Necrox: *appears* Shredding Stalk!

Necrox attacked Schirach with a claw-like attack. Unable to defend it, she was left open as White Edge attacked her was well. While they were on her toes, Anna and Agni ran to help Lilly.


Anna: Princess! Princess!

Lilly: Ugh... that was hard...

Agni: Are you alright?
Lilly: Y-Yeah... don't worry... I'll keep shooting her and leave the front to you.

Agni: Alright then. Anna, stay here with Lilly in case Schirach tries something.

Anna: Yes! Do not worry, Princess, I am here with you!

Lilly: Ugh... t-thanks...

Agni readied himself and kept looking at Schirach.


Agni: (Schirach has some brute strength... considering what she did to Lilly, we have to take the less damage possible...)

Schirach fell on her knees but soon got up again.


Agni: (I just have to wait for an opening.)

Schirach: Heh. Is that all? That doesn't faze me a little bit.

[Kael Taiyou]

Spring Festival: Top of the Site

Music: Eregion


Marie: Lilly!

Hugh: Marie! Try to limit Schirach's movements.

Marie: Alright.

Marie uses her mace funnels to fly around Schirach. Fael jumps to where Kael is.


Fael: Alright Kael, where i point, you'll shoot, right?

Kael: Got it!

Thomas and Hugh got near Schirach with their speed, passing through the mace funnels without getting hit.


Marie: GO!

Hugh: TAKE THIS!

Thomas: HAAAAA!!!

They started attacking Schirach with rapid-fire punches.

[Kael Taiyou]

Festival Site

While the Elemental Lords + Gunleon were dealing with the remaining eggmet army, the group was looking at the Top of the Site.


Mina: I wonder how the others are doing up there.

Uni: There isn't much of a need to ask. They are doing fine.

Suddenly, Sayaka gets there, startling everyone.


Sayaka: Huh? You guys?

Karina: S-Sayaka? Shouldn't you be at the shelter right now?

Sayaka: I'll tell you later...Did you see a blue haired girl wearing a blue dress that is not Amilia over there?

Amilia: Eh? Don't tell me...you met her?

Sayaka: Huh?

Amilia: I...It started...

Friday: What started?

Nicholas: I'm starting to get worried here.

Amilia: No way...I didn't get to do anything yet...

Zana: Calm down dear sister.

Music: Melody of Resolution


Isana: !!!

Amilia: Ah!!!

Zana appears, aparently stepping over Sayaka's head, but the girl didn't feel any weight, as if Zana was not there.


Sayaka: Huh what? *backs off.*

Zana: I must thank you all for coming here today. Meeting all these braves heroes at one place brings warmth to my heart.

Nicholas: (Yep, i'm pretty sure Kenneth was talking about this girl, maybe i should call him out.)

Then suddenly, Nicholas phone rings.


Nicholas: Ah!

Zana: Don't worry, i'll wait.

Nicholas: ... *presses a button* Hello?

Summer Area - Front of a supposed vacant terrain


Misuzu: Nicholas, is everything okay over there? We heard about the attack.

Nicholas: Y-Yes...A lot of eggemetts appeared. Oh, and i found the blue haired girl.

Misuzu: I see...we found something as well.

Kenneth: The Mysterious Mansion...it really exists.

Nicholas: Really?

Kenneth: Yes. Although, what we see is just an entrance.

Nicholas: A door right?

Kenneth: No. The "mansion" is actually a dimensional portal. The real mansion is up in the sky.

Nicholas: Eh?

Zana: You're correct! Well, maybe i'll really have a good time with you.

Mina: What do you mean? Who are you?

Zana: Ah yes. Maybe we should end this mystery once and for all.

Top of the Site

As soon as Zana finished her sentence, she started sending mental images to the team fighting Schrirach.


Fael: Guys, are you hearing this?

Hugh: Y-yeah...

Marie: Not only that, but it seems that memories are being inserted in our minds as well...

Thomas: So something is being shown to us...what?

Back to the Guild's Team

Music: Witches Overture


Anza: I am known as Anza Matsuri. What you're seeing right now is just a disguise. The true Zana Tsuki died a long time ago...and i just happened to look like her.

Anza's Mansion


Suzaku: *spit tea, which hits Wodan* WHAT?
Zack: Hahahaha!

Suzaku: I knew it...I should've known...

Back to the Team


Amilia: ...

Friday: So, all that thing about you being sisters...

Anza: Well, i still consider her my sister.

Isana: ...
Nepgear: But that still doesn't justify your bad treatment over her.

Anza: On the contrary, there's a reason why i didn't want her to be friends with all of you...but i didn't do anything to stop her...mostly because i wanted her to feel this on her skin.

Mina: Feel what? This is getting confusing.

Anza: Right now, i'm issuing a challenges against me.

Uni: (Now i remember everything...) You...
Nepgear: You want to throw this city into a battlefield right?

Anza: Oh, so you remembered those last months in your home world. Well, i was the one who stole the memories at first place, because i didn't want you two to reconize both Zack and Wodan.

Uni: Yeah...Even though Kael told me what happend...I still can't forget the face of my sister in that day...

Uni summons her rifle.


Uni: Let's settle this once and for all!

Amilia: Uni...Calm down...Let her finish...

Uni: There is nothing to finish...that woman...She want us to engage in a war against her.

Sayaka: Not only that...but she kiddnaped Homura as well.

Karina: ...

Anza: (This is the path i have choosen...the hate that is brought upon me is a consequence...) Well, i belive Miss Uni will explain what my challenge will be.

Then, she extends her hand to the group, specifically Amilia.


Anza: Now my sister...come to me.

Amilia: Urgh....

Anza: You know your loyalty to me is stronger than a recent friendship.

Amilia: Argh....

Friday: Hey Amilia...
Nepgear: What is happening?

Isana: (Oh no...her power is getting unstable?)

Sayaka: I have a bad feeling about this...

Anza: You wouldn't betray your sister would you? Be true to yourself.

Amilia: E-Everyone...I'm...

Everyone...I'm sorry...

Music: Seishihen 666 ～The Last Testament～

The group is repelled by a massive explosion coming from Amilia. She let out a pained scream. The Scream of Guilt for betraying her friends. But it is as Anza said, Amilia is too loyal and grateful to her, that she'll fight for her sake. Her power growing immensely.

Amilia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Sayaka: *holding on a metal fence* Why does this feels so familiar.

Anza: (I tried to warn her...This wouldn't happen if she decided to be their friend...)

Spring Festival: Site Top


Kael: Anza...you bastard!!! Guys, let's finish this fight and help everyone down there!

Fael: R-right...

Barry's Group

From their place, they were also able to listen to what was happening, since they could see everything from were they stood.


Barry: What?

Vinny: So...Amilia was the enemy all along...just as you suspected.

Barry: Yeah...But i didn't expect it to be this way...She looked genuinely determined to fight the Noise during that day...And then there was the reports about her help arrest two dangerous criminals...

Jasper: ... (Poor Amilia...)

Barry: It is time for us to act. Let's go.

[MagusDream]

Spring Festival: Top of the Site

They shook their heads in affirmation. But at that moment, Schirach dashed once again to Lilly's direction. Anna tried to stop her, but a single swing and she was sent flying.


Anna: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Agni: Anna!!

Agni got her before she could hit a tree. As he did that, Schirach grabbed Lilly by her neck again.


Lilly: ....!!

Schirach: You would have been such a great help, but you're so persistent. A weak girl who does nothing but to shoot some magic at a close distance to be safe would never beat me.

With a brute swing, Schirach sent the weakened Lilly away and removed a giant boulder from the ground.


Schirach: Farewell, Lilly Toadstool! *throws the boulder*

Lilly: Ah...!!

With no energy to run or even shoot, Lilly was hit point blank by the boulder. Upon that pile of rubble, she seemed to have fallen unconscious.


Magio: No!!

Necrox: Damnit!!

Schirach: What an easy target. She was not even a challenge.

Magio: You... I'll kill you!!

Schirach: You can try, but how much you will succeed?

She got into position and Magio did as well. They were ready to rush into each other. When then...

*heart beat*


Lilly: (Is this... it? Am I... really going to lose...)

Lilly: (No... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... no no no no no no no no no no no no no nonononononononononoNONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!)

Before Schirach could even rush to them, something grabbed onto her feet and she wasn't able to move.


Schirach: What the... vines and roots?!
Lilly?: Getting really ahead of yourself, right?

Lilly got up and cleaned her dress. Then, she looked at Schirach.

Schirach: What the... but how...?

Anna: Princess!

Lilly?: Heh...

Agni: She seems fine at the very least.

Necrox: Wait... she sounded different...

Magio: I heard it too. That must mean...

BGM: Dark Road

The smile in her face didn't looked innocent. It had a malice, a desire to kill no one would imagine that she had. That was the part of Lilly born from her Link: a girl that wanted nothing but to see the blood of her enemies at the ground.


Magio and Necrox: Schirach, run!!

But it was too late. The vines dropped her to the ground and held her arms and legs so she wouldn't move. With a malevolent grin, Lilly called some vines and used her metal elemental to make them look like spikes.

Schirach: What the... what are you...
Lilly?: Hehehehehe... die...

At the signal she gave, the vines started to pierce the entirety of Schirach. They began slow, but eventually began to attack at a faster speed.


Anna: P-Princess?! W-What did happen to her?!

Magio: She must have gone insane. The thought of losing led her to her sadist side, the one born from her Link...

Agni: But naturally a sadist would only want pain! Lilly's going to kill Schirach at that rate!

Necrox: That's the problem! The youkai which Lilly decided to make a Link with has a much more violent concept of sadism!

Magnum: H-How much violent?!

Necrox: We're talking about Gensokyo! It doesn't take a genius to know it isn't normal!

It was clear that Schirach was already not taking it anymore. A pond of blood was forming under her as the spikes kept piercing her nonstop. Lilly kept smiling as Magio talked to her.


Magio: Lilly... Lilly, that's enough! It's over already!

Lilly?: Oh, please. What are you saying? It's not over yet. She's not that filled with holes.

Necrox: We're here to defeat her, not to murder her! Stop this bullshit right now, bitch!
Lilly?: No, no, no. It's not enough yet. It's not enough...

And then, with a gracious movement from her hand, all spikes pierced Schirach's heart at once.

Schirach: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!

Lilly?: Ah, the scream of a person feeling this pain... how wonderful...

Anna: P-Princess, please stop!!

Lilly?: Stop? Why would I stop...? Do you even have any reason?

[Kael Taiyou]

Spring Festival - Shelter

Music: Mist


Celica: Ok, this was the last one of them.

Celica and Minerva were taking down the eggmets that were trying to invade the shelter, with the help from some police officers.


Celica: That was quite the workout, don't you think Minerva?

Minerva: ...

Celica: Hm? Aren't those...

Madoka: M-Miss Celica...

Celica: Oh, i thought you already evacuated...
Miku: I-It's a long story...

Celica: You're not hurt anywhere right?

Madoka: We're fine.

Celica: Good, now head to the shel-

Madoka: Can i stay here?

Celica: Hm?

Madoka: I want to be here...Waiting for everyone.
Miku: (Those eyes...)

Celica: You trust them right? I do too. Yup, you can stay.
Miku: (Took the words from my mouth.)

Madoka: Thank you very much.

Celica: But if things gets dangerous...

Madoka: I know...I'll head inside.

Festival Site


Anza: Well, the die is cast.

Music: Foreboding

She floats away, leaving Amilia with the group, watching her power grow even more. Then, three figures attack her.


Sasha: ANZA!

???: MATSURI!

Rina: WAIT! I CAN'T FLY!

Anza: Oh!

Anza dodges a scythe slash and a flying kick, and repels a whip blade away. She reconizes their aura.


Anza: Hello Dimensional Travelers. I believe you are here to take me in i believe.

Sasha: Well...There's a large bounty for your head...not that an oddjob like me would know what to do with all that money...but still...

???: In my case, i just want to say hi again.

Anza: Hm? We met once before?

???: So you're not remembering my voice?
Anza: Hmmm...Well, you do have a tone of great bravery...but i think it feels similar somehow.

Rina: Anza Matsuri! Get down here! I was ordered to arrest you on spot!

Anza: My, she's so cute!

Sasha: Agreed!

Rina: D-Don't say something that embarassing out loud.

Anza: I'd love to stay and chat, but i already exposed myself enough. Let's leave the festivities for later.

Sasha: Sorry, i won't lose such a golden chance.

Anza: Aplications with butler please.

Something drops Sasha to the ground, it was Jirmis.


Anza: Tell Amilia to come back for dinner.

As Jirmis flyed up however, a scythe was lodged on his left leg.


Sasha: Nice try Mister Nice suit, but i hate being touched without my consent.

Isana: Wait!

They saw Isana flying at Anza, Jirmis tried to get in the way, but was repelled away with a shield she summoned. ((Who is she, Goofy?))


Isana: Anza! Miss Anza Matsuri!

She have reached the observer, looking her in the eyes.


Anza: Do you have something to ask me?

Isana: (I have no doubts...she's the one i've been looking for.) Um...

Anza: I don't have much time...There's an unknown force that scares me.

Isana: (An unknown force? Is this what i'm thinking it is?) Um...
???: Hey, i thought she made herself clear.

Isana: Ah!

Music: Legend of Zero

Isana blocks a blast, but is still pushed away from Suzaku's Blaster Rifle. The hooded boy catches her.


Isana: (So strong...wait a minute. Isn't that...)

Rina: Suzaku-senpai!

Sasha: So that is Kuro Suzaku huh?

Anza: Miss Suzaku, you decided to show up.

Suzaku: Shut up! I'm still angry that you have fooled me...

Anza: I didn't fool you...Okay, i might've have told you a small lie when i said that "Zana couldn't come." But my intentions to help you out are genuine.

Suzaku: Yeah yeah, whatever...We'll speak more later, for now, just evacuate.

Anza: Very well. Jirmis, we're leaving.

Isana: Wait!

Anza teleports away, leaving Suzaku staring at the group.


Suzaku: Alright, who's first? I still need to make sure none of you will trace the trajectory of her teleportation.

Sasha: The butler didn't satisfy me, so i'll be your oponent.

Rina: It's impossible Miss Sasha...You're fighting a powerful Dimensional Traveler that once made part of an organization...Let me handle her.

Sasha: Don't worry, she already made it clear that she'll just hold us back. You stay down there and watch, i'll show you all how a Shinigami fights!

Suzaku: (Shinigami huh? Maybe Akina would get along well with her.) Alright, i'll humor you.

Isana: ...

???: There'll always be another time, for now, let's help the others below.

Isana: You're right...

Then, Sasha and Suzaku flew up higher and started to clash blades.

((Fun Fact: I cut a lot of dialogue that might be spoiler-ish about Anza's past.))

Spring Festival: Top of the Site


Kael: Flame Shot...

Fael: SWORD!!!

With a combination attack, Fael cut down the spikes that were attacking Schirach, although, he didn't knew if he was late or not to save her.


Kael: (Gensokyou...yup, it's pretty much confirmed that nothing good comes from there...I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to throw a war in this city.) ((Whoops!))

Hugh: Lilly what the hell?

Thomas: (She's completely altered.)

Marie: ...

Fael: (Marie must be heartbroken...)

Music: Shrine of the lake ((Man, i missed this track))


Marie: Guys...leave this with me.

Kael: No, It's too dangerous.

Marie: And what do you suggest? Fight her? Wouldn't this make things even worse?

Kael: But...

Hugh: Shut up Kael...She'll handle this.

Kael stays silent. Marie then, took out her glasses, then stares at Lilly, with her arms open.


Marie: Lilly, please, stop this right now! I know you're not like this. I know for a fact...that you don't want to be something like this.

She reminds of the time where Lilly threatened to harm Zeta's daughter.


Marie: Don't commit this mistake, you're better than this, so please stop, for all of us!
