Summary: It been one year since Mikan left and everyone is now in Middle School. Natsume is still in a coma, no one knows what happened to Hotaru and Subaru, Mikan returns and is more powerful. Though the academy has changed there is still an Anti-Alice group out to destroy it. Will Mikan be able to save the Imai siblings and save everyone from this new threat or will this really be the end?
Rating: Rated 'K+' for some language (AN: I have a super potty mouth) and violence
(AN: I got this idea after chapter 177 in the manga and that's when I started writing so it will probably not follow the story, but if you have not read up to then you are in for spoilers.)

Gakuen Alice: The Next Adventure
Prologue:
With Mikan:
"Good Morning Mikan." Jii-chan greeted as Mikan entered the kitchen, "Are you ready to go back to school?"
"I guess." Mikan said "I'm just nervous and I keep having this feeling I'm forgetting something important."
"The doctor said that would be normal after you were in a coma for a year
"My only friend was Hotaru" Mikan said "and I didn't even get to see her when I ran away to Tokyo because of the accident. But I promise to try really hard and maybe I can meet her in University. I'll just have to keep writing her letters so that she remembers me always."
After that Mikan ran out the door to go to school and see everybody. She missed the sad look her Jii-chan gave her. He was really glad she was home again but he thought that having been made to forget all her friends was just too much. The academy had given the alibi of the accident and her haven been in a coma as a way to explain her absence for the last year, he just hoped that she could go on living a happy life.
A.A.
The months few by like they were nothing I wrote Hotaru a letter every week telling her everything I did but never got one in reply. It had been six months since I had got back to her home I she still tried to remember what happened in Tokyo but all I remembered was a big explosion and a black cat. Dr. Serio who had decided to make a small practice in my home after escorting me home from the Tokyo hospital said I shouldn't push it and that it was unlikely I would ever get the memory because of the severe head trauma I had received.
Dr. Serio had become very close to me and I viewed him as an older brother, He was also very popular in the village with the woman for his dark and mysterious aura. He dressed in dark colors and wear lots of jewelry, but despite appearances he was very kind and gentle with everyone he treated.
Recently I had been getting lots of headaches and would see faces of people I had never met. Once I tried to focus on who the people wear they would disappear like smoke I told Dr. Serio about the headaches but I refused to tell him about the faces I didn't want him to know about the faces and think I was going crazy.
Over the months the headaches got worse and Dr. Serio didn't know what was causing them. With the headaches now come scenes but they never made sense and I would end up passing out afterword. I kept trying to put the scenes together like a puzzle but I could never remember who the people were or where they happened. It was so frustrating. Just thinking about is it making me get a headache guess it's a good thing I'm headed to see Dr. Serio.
That said Mikan walked onto the porch of a little white house and knocked on the door. Next to the door was a little plague that said Dr. Rei Serio M.D., once the door was opened Mikan entered.
"Dr. Serio I'm having another of those headaches." Mikan said as her face scrunched up in a pained expression.
"Why don't you sit down Mikan and I'll get you some medicine." Rei said as he left the room to get some water. When he came back in the room Mikan was holding her head in her hands and hadn't moved from the spot she was standing in. "Mikan?" Rei asked uncertainly causing Mikan to look up at him. She had tears streaming down her face and her eyes were closed. "Are you alright?"
"No," Mikan said then all of a sudden she opened her eyes "I remember Natsume." She said right before she collapsed in a heap on the floor.
Two hours later she woke up, everything was a little foggy. She looked around the room it was pure white there was no color; just a nightstand the bed she was on and a chair in the corner. Then she remembered she had collapsed again, but that wasn't the only thing she remembered. She remembered all her friends, Alice Academy, the fight with the ESP, losing her Alice, and leaving the academy. She did what anyone would do in that situation, she cried.
"Mikan?" a voice said from the door "Are you still in pain?" Mikan looked up to see who it was.
"Persona!" Mikan shouted as she jumped out of bed running to him and hugging him as she cried "I can remember everything! What does that mean? I thought I lost my Alices? Did I get them back?"
"Calm down Mikan." Persona said "I'm just as confused as you; I think I should contact the Academy. No one has ever gotten their Alice back after it's lost, it's just not heard of I think there was a flaw in the Memory Alice that was used."
"No I don't want to forget again." Mikan shouted "Can you just test to see if I got them back?"
"My Alice is too dangerous for you to test your nullification on." Persona responded.
"What about my other Alices?" Mikan asked "I could try my Stealing Alice." Persona thought about it for a moment then nodded that it would be safe enough to try. Mikan took a step back then took persona hand in her own. She closed her eyes and focused; when she pulled her hand away there was a large black Alice stone.
"You need to go back to the academy." Persona stated "I will contact the High school principal."
"Wait I have to tell Jii-chan first." Mikan said. "I can't just disappear on him again, especially seeing as his health is so bad lately."
"What are you going to do?" Persona asked.
"Tell him the truth and this time I don't think I'll ever see him again. I know he doesn't have much time." Mikan said.
"You have gotten smarter since I first met you." Persona said "You remind me so much of your father but I think you're starting to think like your mother because Izumi-sensei was an airhead."
"Thanks, I think." Mikan said with a laugh. "I have to go talk to Jii-chan, so wait two days before you contact Uncle Kazumi." With that Mikan left to go speak with her 'grandfather'.
At Alice Academy:
"How's he doing, Ruka-kun?" a girl with short, wavy dark green hair asked as she entered a hospital room followed by two other girls; all of them were around 13-yr-old.
"No change Sumire-san" a boy with short blonde hair and holding a white rabbit and holding the hand of a 4-yr-old with gray hair and standing next to a hospital bed holding a black haired boy hooked up to machines; he was the same age as the girls. "Hello Nonoka and Anna." He greeted.
"Hello Ruka-kun" the two other girls greeted.
"It's been almost a year I wonder when he'll wake up?" a boy with short dirty blonde hair and glasses and the same age as the rest in the room said as he entered the room. "I miss Sakura-san but I'm glad she not here to see Natsume-san like this." A depressing aura entered the already depressed crowd.
"Hey cheer up guys." A loud girl with strawberry blonde hair said entering the room with another boy; both were 15-yr-old.
"Yeah listen to loud mouth." The older boy with black hair and a star tattoo under his left eye said "I'm sure the shithead will wake up soon."
"Who's a loudmouth!" the girl shouts as she started to beat the older boy.
"Misaki-sempai, Tsubasa-sempai we're in the hospital." Ruka pleaded while the rest of the group just sweat dropped at their usual behavior.
"The little princess would be happy to see how normal and happy everyone is." A newcomer with long black hair said "and ladies I must say I am glad to see you all as well."
"Tono-sempai" the younger ones said in greeting.
"Tono stop being such a creeper." Misaki threatened "or I'll do something about it."
"This is a surprise Tono-sempai" Tsubasa said "I thought you would be too busy for the weekly visit with your classes and missions."
"Well I am busy but I had to see someone at the high school about a rumour I heard so I figured I would stop by on my way back to Alice University." Tonōchi said.
"What kind of rumour?" Sumire asked curiously.
"You'll find out within the next couple week my little kitten." Tonōchi said then made a quick exit.
"He just wanted to brag about knowing something we don't, didn't he?" Ruka asked.
"I think so." Misaki replied. The group visited until visiting time was over then Misaki and Tsubasa headed back to the High School dorms while Sumire, Nonoka, Anna, and Yū all headed to the Middle School dorms and Ruka brought Yūichi back to the Elementary School dorms.
Little did they know that in a short amount of time they would be meeting with a person they all missed a lot.
