CHAPTER I

(The Return Of Ginga)

2 years... 2 years has passed since my meeting with Itsuka Shido.

My name is Hikari Tendō. The one who walks the path of heaven, the light who shines on everything. I am currently on my way back to Japan after all these journeys overseas, and the time that Ginga, my spirit friend gave to me, is up. I am going to die from my family's disease any time now.

The Plane ride is pleasant, if it weren't for my decaying body condition.

3 hours later, I arrived at Tokyo, and took a train to Tenguu City. After that, I walked weakly towards his home, to have a temporary sleepover.

I knocked on the door, and his cute little sister, Kotori, answered.

"Who is- Oh, You're back!" Her eyes widened as she saw me.

I simply just stayed silent.

"What do you want here, Hikari-Nee?" She asked.

"Can I spend the night here? Too tired to walk."

"Of course, but you're sleeping on the couch."

"Fine."

I walked in, put off my shoes, and limply walked to the couch.

"Are you OK?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied.

"Liar. You're sick, aren't you!?"

"OK, you got me. I am sick, and is about to die anytime now." I said as I sat on the couch.

"What kind of sickness?"

"Back in 1999, my father and my aunt were survivors of the Shibuya Meteorite. I think my blood inherited the toxins from that meteorite, shortening my lifespan."

Then suddenly my whole body went numb and I blacked out.

3rd person POV

"Hikari-Nee?" Kotori checked her pulse. Nothing.

"No. No no no no no! Wake up!" She then planted her face on the couch.

"Please... Kami-Sama! Don't let her die..."

Soon her prayers were answered as a bright light lit the whole house, waking Shido up. The other spirits noticed this too, and quickly went there.

"Shido Shido Shido!" Tohka repeatedly said as she barges through the front door, the other spirits following her.

"What in the world is going on!?" Kaguya asked, clearly angry because of her sleep being interrupted.

They then stopped at the living room, to see a familiar face lying on the couch, lifeless. She is being surrounded by Shido, Kotori, and the spirit that they still didn't trust. Ginga.

"You! Why are you back!?" Tohka asked with a threatening voice, and readies [Sandalphon, and swings it on Ginga.

"Peace, Yatogami Tohka. I am not your enemy." Ginga said, her index and middle fingers pinched the oncoming blade.

"How can I even trust you!?"

"Remember that time you fought with those Mecha-using units, and got turned into a doll alongside your friends and enemies? I saved you and turned you back into what you are now."

Tohka then sighed, and returned into human form.

"Question. Still, why are you here?" Yuzuru asked.

"I sensed Hikari's life is draining away, so I'm here to give her... A gift."

"A..." Yoshino stuttered.

"Gift?" Shido finished.

Then Ginga nodded as she glitters in a bright light, and as the light dissipates, it is revealed that she turned into a crystal, and landed on Shido's hand.

"It's a gift of life, put me on her chest."

Shido complied, and dropped the crystal on Hikari's chest, and the crystal then went inside, as if Hikari is absorbing it.

Hikari opened her eyes, and got up from the couch.

"Welcome back." Shido said with a smile.

"So, what did she do? It felt as if a second soul is inserted inside me."

"She converted you into a spirit, permanently." Kotori said as Hikari began to examine her body by looking at her arms.

"It means... I will be also a target for the DEM." Hikari faced down, her bangs covering her eyes.

"O-Oi..." Tohka tried to comfort her.

"That's a good thing!" Hikari suddenly said, and everyone in the room fell, before standing up again in a second.

[What do you mean it's a good thing!? Those people will kill you!] Yoshinon said.

"... Correct." Yoshino continued.

"This means I get to fight the 'Strongest Wizard', Ellen Mira Mathers."

"That's suicide! You want to fight her?! This one is not a pathetic doll anymore! It's the real, Human, Thing!" Shido protested.

"There is a reason I wanted to fight her. I will replace her as the world's strongest."

"Question. And what is the reason?" Yuzuru tilted her head.

"I am the strongest. My father said so when I was a kid."

"That's what your father sai-"

"He's the strongest in the world before he died, and that title is already claimed by his daughter... Me. I am justice."

All of them gave up, and sighed.

"Whatever you say, Tendō-" Tohka frowned.

"Call me Hikari." She corrected as she points to the skies.

And thus, the story of the reborn Hikari Tendō had begun.
