~Introduction: To everyone that have been patient and persistent in reading every single story I've written up to now…I can only say:
T-H-A-N-K…Y-O-U! Grazie! Arigatou! ありがとう! ありがとうございます！
merci! gracias! danke! dziękuję! спасибо!
asante!
This has been another long journey to write with help from my friends that I've RPed with! After finishing The Last Legend, I thought I would finally be done with these writings but I had a feeling that Free! would get a Season 2 storyline as well as a new High Speed story.
And damn I was right…both were unveiled by our lovely friends and producers from KyoAni back in January 2014! However, I had a feeling that I wanted to "resolve" and "reveal" the destiny of our lovely friends.
So in celebration of this, I decided to keep on writing…after all, I had a few unexplained things:
· The promise between Rei and Alex back from The Last Legend – could they finally fulfill it?
· The Mysterious Talking Tree – where did it come from and why is it magical?
· Glitches that I had with Haruka and Makoto leadership roles when I first wrote The Last Race. (This was due to writing fanfiction BEFORE the anime first aired back in July 2013)
· The Continuation of their lives on Lynwin after The Last Legend
· Why do the Suiei Gods exist in the first place? Who really made them?
· Who would be the new antagonists? And what purpose would they have to oppose the team?
· If setting a story to a new world, what would be there? Who would live there? Would they remember their past? How would they remember their past lives?
I tried to make a tumblr contest out of the last question but it sadly did not get anywhere but the old saying goes "the show must go on".
After much research and data collecting, I decided to create a world that was "far different" that Earth but yet had a similarity to the old world. Monsters raged the land, evil stirs up the planet and its people and the old magic of the Suiei Gods comes back to life with new abilities.
This fan-fiction of Free! is obviously far different than most stories I've written in the past (such as my BIONICLE and AnE fanfics) because I have brought up a ton of certain real-life topics that we observe in everyday life.
In the previous book, I wanted to express the immaturity of the "Relationship Wars" by expanding it to an actual series of wars that we could put on ourselves, putting destruction in our path to the future.
However, to keep the story alive and happy, I created Book 3 with a ton of friendship, several yaoi, a handful of fanservice and love just to remind you all that not every story I've written is always dark; a ton of scenes CAN be the same as the anime itself at times.
This finale, will hopefully explain everything that caused the reason why my fan-fics were the way they are…like why did I use magic in the first place? Why did I create such angst and pain? Why aren't the ships exactly like you wanted…but most of all…HOW. WILL. IT. ALL. END?
You must ask yourself these questions, what is the meaning of this saga (or all 12 stories)? Why did he (myself) write this? What did he (I) wanted you to see?
And now the end of the journey is near…evil will finally be in its undiluted form for the ultimate climax!
In the darkest and deadliest place that connects the past and the future together; you'll meet villains you have hoped they forever disappeared, and heroes that you prayed one day return…
In 2014, you'll be going on a journey back in time…you'll start to see things that you thought you saw it all…clues that you have missed! There are still plenty of mysteries…but only one thing is for certain:
In 2015, you'll be in for a surprise…as one world ends…and a new one begins…
At long last…I now present you…the ABSOLUTE FINALE of my Free!AU Saga;
Free! Voyage of the Magic Six - Book 5: Heroes of the Gods! (神々のヒーローズ)
P.S
Sadly, I do confirm this story to be the "last" of my fan-fics of the entire SAGAS of both Iwatobi Suiei Gods and Voyage of the Magic Six. I have been writing so much since June 2013…
So please, I really hope you enjoy this finale…whatever happens at the end well…I hope it will refine how both YOU and I truly feel about this anime.
PART I: Parallel of the Lost - ロストのパラレル
Synopsis: Arriving in the world of Mahotsukai, the Magic Six discovers their true origin and discover that they are not "alone" out in a collection of universes. Meanwhile, both worlds of Earth and Duniya begin to council and reflect on what all has been happening; they all realize that a new war will begin soon...one that may spell the end of all eternity! However, secrets that have never been foretold or shared are finally beginning to reveal the ultimate truth between the friendship of our heroes!
Welcome my dear friends...to Camelot!
Prologue: 物語の中の物語... 魔法使い! A Story in a Story…Mahōtsukai!
Long before the Iwatobi Swim Club began…long before history could even be remembered…long before even the world that we are familiar with was even created; there was a time and place where creations of universes spawned new worlds all based on stories that were chosen for creation.
Six beings stood alone in the void in various looking shapes of the shadows; a Rock Hopper Penguin, a shark, and 4 cloaked figures were together in a dark space where nothing itself could even exist. However, these beings have surpassed the impossible and knew that it was all in a matter of time before they could begin again.
"This is not looking good," said Iwatobi, looking stricken, "According to the drafts, the inhabitants were clearly not going the way we have hoped it would be."
"Leaving nature to decide though was beneficial," replied Sametsuka, "You saw how it all went though."
"Maybe we should give them…magic?" asked Pandora, "You know…to the one Earth where…?"
"Are you crazy!?" snapped Sano, "You realize what they could do to themselves!? Humans are always on a path for total destruction of each other! Power and greed are what keeps their world going around and around!"
"Well we are Mahotsukai, aren't we?" asked Mayfield, "We should at least take a step in and make careful measures."
Phoenix took out the Compendium book and said, "Then maybe we can edit the pages here? After all, we cannot do too much without making the permission here in this. We won't let the project fail this time!"
I swear, thought Pandora, this is perhaps the first and the last time they'll hear from me…
"Is something the matter?" asked Iwatobi.
"No I'm fine," she replied, "I just hope…that even after we start making the worlds…I just hope it'll turn out well."
"We will," said Iwatobi, "Drafts are only drafts…but now, we'll finally start."
Flashback: 1 and 1/2 Years ago
~Camelot Universe
This particular world was not like any other world in any stories you may have read so far; (Whether you've been a BIONICLE!Fan, Anime!Fan, Video Game!Fan, a CLAMP!Fan or a Free!Fan) because…
…this world was a place of creation and beginnings for anyone.
In a lifespan, the Mahotsukai are all born with a small portion of magic and they can live for 100s or even 1000s of years depending on how much they strengthen themselves and how they outlook life in general.
These "Mahotsukai" lived in a state of peace and prosperity as they were all able to bypass the laws (most of the time) and settle for what they needed. However, those that had limited magic were not able to get always what they wanted (which is why some crimes do still exist) but this "universe" overall is perhaps one could say nearly 'flawless'.
One of the most prominent features of this world is the "Writer's Tower and Artist's Alley" where anyone could go and see to such creations. Every 100 years, a contest was held in the Coliseum Central Tower where the best story is chosen to become a "New Universe" that will be recorded by the Coliseum's Ultra Sonic Data system which is then brought to Main Town for record keeping. However, the actual work is done in the Story Tower when making the stories to life.
However, maintaining a universe was a hard and tedious job for the chosen Mahotsukai. As a price, they are to constantly keep watch of their "creations" and make sure that they do not go out of line. Under the term of "Authors", many of them were unable to take a break and visit their families. Through normal circumstances, intentional catastrophes result in the forfeit of a universe unless it was pre-determined and unavoidable.
Silver's Shoreline
Around midday, Iwatobi Takayama sat down on the bench and watched the endless sea going through its waves and tides. In his hand, he carried the final copy of a story about a group of friends all over the world and swimming together.
I still need to name some characters, he thought, I haven't named the main characters.
"Oi! Iwatobi-chan!" shouted a voice.
He turned to see Sametsuka Atsushi waving out to him. Behind him stood Pandora Le Fay, Sano Brachetti, Mayfield Wylit, and Phoenix Lancelot.
"We have to get going now to the Coliseum and submit our entry in!" said Sano.
"Have you decided to name the main cast?" asked Pandora.
"…no," said Iwatobi
"WHAT?!" they all gasped.
"But the deadline is…" began Mayfield.
"I know," said Iwatobi, getting up on his feet, "But I still don't know how I can make a character to transcend beyond his imagination…"
"What do you mean?" asked Sametsuka.
"…a sight they have never seen," said Iwatobi, walking over, "How they are feeling free…that's what."
"Ugh, you really take it all to think Iwa-chan!" sighed Mayfield.
"We are a team!" said Sametsuka, "Don't forget that. We all spent time together on this project!"
"I just hope we do win," smirked Pandora, "I've always wanted to explore beyond this place!"
"Easy for you to say," replied Sano, "You do realize that there are responsibilities involved?"
"Perhaps," she replied, "But either way, we are the team! For the team!"
In his mind, Iwatobi already knew what to name the characters…but was it the right names? Could it really be?
Haruka…Nanase
Makoto…Tachibana
Nagisa…Hazuki
Rin…Matsuoka
Rei…Ryugazaki
And I still need one more person, he thought as they entered to the city side of Camelot, one person whose heart can be as strong as they are…one with the blood...
Contest of "Build-a-Story; Build-a-Universe"
By evening, a large crowd of people gathered in the Coliseum Auditorium where they waited to hear the results of the contest. This one lasted at least a month and several of the nominations were already eliminated. Some rumors said that many of the entrees were the "same kind" of storyline.
The contest host, Arthur Pendragon walked onto the stage where the massive goblet stood as almost as tall as him. The audience clapped and cheered for him as the welcoming ceremony of the "Final Round" has begun.
"Thank you, thank you," he said, "My dear friends and to all those who have come here on this lovely night, it is greatly appreciated. After tonight, a new universe will be born and right now it is down to three stories left.
One of the stories has stood out to me the most, because of how it describes the most fundamental things we have in this world…and yet this element can be used for what they call it 'an exercise'. But not only this element can be used for exercise, this substance is responsible for create life."
Does this mean, thought Sametsuka, realizing where this will lead to.
"However, despite my opinion, the goblet here will decide what story should be made," said Arthur.
After the speech, the ceremony enacted a series of small skits and plays based on the final three entries; with one of them being a bit on the "blushing" side by such attraction of the actors.
After 2 hours of other reward and honorable mentions, it was finally here…
The goblet glowed golden yellow before finally, it shoot up a card from the flames inside. Arthur caught it and turned to his partner, Avalon.
"It is time now," said Avalon Monmouth, opening the card with Arthur.
The drums rolled in low range of beating as everyone wondered what would become for the 'chosen ones' on the next universe.
"The story that will become the next universe to exist…will be…"
Days Later
Iwatobi sat at the same bench overlooking the seas as he wondered what future will hold in store for him and the others. Upon learning that they have won the competition, they were asked to attend to the Story Tower where every written work was stored at.
"Oi! Iwatobi-kun!" shouted Sametsuka.
He turned to see the others again and said, "...why are you guys here?"
"Look I know it's a bit of a shock still but WE WON!" smiled Pandora, grabbing Iwatobi's hands, "Like your story that you had really inspired many!"
"Hehe, I wouldn't mind having a place named after me," agreed Sametsuka.
"Yeah and your high school too!" said Sano.
"Well don't forget we have a lot to get covered though," sighed Phoenix, "I wonder how we can handle all of this?"
"I am sure the other Mahotsukai will guide us until we are ready," said Mayfield, smiling.
"Right, I just hope we don't disappoint our world," replied Iwatobi.
Story Tower
The six arrived in the main floor of the building where they were led by a group of security and were given badges to work here. As they passed through the halls, they saw several people in small rooms, writing and drawing out their stories through magical spells and chants. Each room had a screen that showed like appeared to be some animation going on based on the story they were writing.
"Now here is your room," said one of the employees, "Since you have won the highest award, you get a nice suite here to work on your universe."
"One question, if it's alright to ask," replied Sametsuka.
"Yes?" asked the employee.
"After we won that night we were given a document that we signed for; it apparently says that we are agreed to make 2 more worlds?" asked Sametsuka.
The employee widened her eyes a little and answered, "Camelot…he must have been monitoring. Let me go fetch him and see."
After a few minutes, they saw the elegant Mahotsukai walking through the halls with the employee that guided them and entered the room with the others.
"Camelot-sama," said Pandora, bowing, "Please forgive us for wasting your time!"
"No worries about it," he smiled, "My junior is already out with the trees and nature."
"Oh he's already gone into study?" asked Iwatobi.
"Yes, he decided to look into the flora and fauna of this world," he replied, "Sounds a bit crazy…but he loves to climb on trees.
"Now then, let me show you how to work with this," said Camelot as he took out a nice size heavy-looking book.
"I-is that…!?" asked Phoenix.
"Yes, this is the Compendium. All of the "chosen ones" get a compendium where they write out and begin their works. However, there are certain rules to using it," replied the other Mahotsukai.
1.) The process to make a world takes millions of years but it will only take a few hours on your time because of how we age and how the way time flows here.
2.) For every "world" you make, it is required you have an "Alpha" and "Beta" parallel worlds as backup to your "Original World". They must be made first. When making the Alpha and Beta, there must be ONE difference of something…regardless of plot, characters, elements, etc.
3.) Every team must have 3 story makers (Authors), 1 clean-up job, and 2 leaders at the minimum.
4.) If the Compendium is destroyed, everything that goes in it will be wiped clean and erased from that particular universe; including those that are "linked" by past, present, future, and close-parallels.
After explaining for an hour or so, Camelot smiled and said, "Now then, it is time…for you to begin."
"Right," they all replied and Camelot wished them the best of luck while leaving the suite.
Pandora lowered her head and sighed, "I guess I'll do the clean-up job."
"Oh Pandora," said Mayfield, a bit worried, "Are you okay with it? I know you wanted to become an Author and..."
"I'll be fine," she smiled, "At least it'll be the easier work for me, hehe. That's what the compendium chose me to do anyway."
Iwatobi turned to Sametsuka, "Are you ready?"
"Hell yeah of course," he smirked, turning to the others, "You all ready?"
"Yes!" said the other four.
The two raised their hands out to the book, chanting a series of spells to being their works alive as the vision around them changed to an empty, void scene with nothing around but a puddle of clear substance.
"Water of the past...use your chemical structure to build life on this world... " chanted Iwatobi, multiplying the water.
Sametsuka chanted as he unleashed a bright wave of light to the dark void along with Mayfield, Sano, and Phoenix, turning the dark void into a series of lights that scattered across their vision.
And now…the birth of a universe…has begun…
2 Years Later:
Unfortunately, the works that they have done had bored Pandora as she could only watch and observe what they were creating. She had a ton of ideas but at first they suggested that they would keep them in mind but over time they have forgotten about it.
Except for one thing…
Why can't the water be made as a living entity…?
Pandora was losing her patience as she watched the others writing and created the worlds. Right now, they were already creating their respective Beta and Alpha worlds before they could finally submit the world that they have planned to write out.
She waited until they were done for the night and cleaned around their messes. Pandora wanted to at least contribute something for once…could she?
The Mahotsukai walked to the screens and saw three spheres with cream-like colored atmospheres. She read the information as the screen said…
"Haden Eon; Post-Solar System formation."
Pandora flicked her fingers and practiced her magic, disabling the security cameras.
"Alrighty," she smirked, "Let's make a gift for them…shall we?"
The female mahotsukai danced and twirled her arms around, messing around the stars in the space, realigning them and colliding them to create bigger stars.
"Hehehe," she smiled, "This is fuuunnn!"
She snapped her fingers again and saw a good size planetary body floating around. Curious, she decided to slam the planetary body to the three Earths, watching as an explosion of light grew as the molten rock from the earth exploded, ejecting large amounts of heat and energy to space.
Instantly the alarms went off as the lights in the room turned on and the screen turned blank. She gasped as she could hear footsteps heading towards the room.
"H-how?!" she panicked as she tried to escape but the compendium unleashed a blast of energy towards her, throwing her to the ground.
Camelot stepped in and saw the flaws, narrowing his eyes while resting his hand on her shoulder.
"Is it bad!?" asked one of the guards.
Camelot nodded as Pandora got up on her feet, readying her magic but nothing came out.
"What have you done?" asked Camelot.
"I…I just wanted to try and see what I could make!" she shouted, "I don't know why the Compendium didn't pick me to be the creator or even a leader! WHY AM I TO CLEAN UP THE MESS!?"
"You know that you are important to them…" he said, "Please don't bring this upon yourself…"
"I DON'T CARE!" she shouted, "IWATOBI AND THE OTHERS ALWAYS GOT THE FAME! THEY ARE THE ONES TO GET THE GLORY WHILE I STAY IN THE SHADOWS!"
"P-Pandora," muttered Camelot.
The other Mahotsukai stepped in as Pandora narrowed her eyes with hatred and jealousy, saying, "You could never trust me!"
"You're right," said Iwatobi, "It's because now that you've brought a catastrophe to the planets, it will take a while before the planet will stabilize once more."
Pandora laughed and replied, "Of course…not once you listened to my ideas…just because I was destined to be a 'cleaner'. You and the others are to be ashamed!"
"What are you trying to get at?" asked Sametsuka.
"Oh remember when I asked you guys if you wanted to make the water alive?" she answered, "Well…I wanted you to do that because I could then extract it to our world and I can manipulate it for my own benefits."
The others gasped as Iwatobi replied, "So you would use the creations on our world AGAINST US!?"
"Indeed," she smirked as she started to laugh a little, "With water being the source of life…if I can control it…I can kill all of you!"
Phoenix growled and charged up to her, tackling her down as used the magic to put her locked in chains. However, a shadowy aura was growing around her as they gasped in shocked.
"T-the magic!" gasped Camelot, "It's growing into shadows!"
Pandora laughed as the room began to shake a little, saying, "As soon as I get my new powers…I will kill all of you!"
Sano quickly grabbed the compendium and chanted a spell, "Mastery of the time, please send this exile to a world that she can only be trapped in a timeline with no escape!"
The others gasped as they realized what the Mahotsukai was going to do, trapping Pandora inside a pocket dimension of a "Time Loop". Swirls of light encased the wicked woman, casting her asleep when one of the screens flickered.
The Compendium glowed red as the pages flipped faster and faster, sucking the data from the screen and onto Pandora. The compendium also leaked out some data as it poured into Pandora.
"T-the data!" gasped Phoenix.
On the screen, the side with the "Original World", the pane of the glass shattered into pieces as swirls of data was being vacuumed into Pandora as the "pocket dimension portal" was being formed.
Pandora opened her eyes and gasped horribly as she could feel being sucked into the portal; she glared at the others with anger and hatred.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" she screamed, "I SWEAR, I WILL KILL YOU!"
The portal closed up as Pandora's screaming echo can only be heard. Sano breathed heavily as he turned to see how much damage was made. Iwatobi checked the data source in the compendium and saw that most of their "creations" were trapped in the time loop…including the MAIN CAST!
"W-what did you do!?" gasped Iwatobi, "YOU RUINED THE STORYLINE!"
"I'm sorry…" sighed Sano, "I was too reckless."
"No," said Camelot, "This isn't your fault. I have watched her since the beginning of your work."
"What do you mean?" asked Mayfield.
"Apparently, she's been trying to distance herself from you guys…and she plotted revenge even before she worked with you," he answered.
"But why?" asked Sametsuka.
"…she wants something from this world…one that would break the laws entirely," he said.
"You mean?!" gasped Phoenix.
"Yes," nodded Camelot, "She wishes to obtain the forbidden power…one that can revive someone."
"But why would she do that!?" asked Sano.
"She had advanced magic hidden away from you all," he explained, "That's why…she wanted to create this mess. She also made sure that you all would win the contest and become story writers and creators."
"So then, how we can recover our work?" asked Sametsuka.
"I know only one way," said Camelot, revealing out a tube with a black fluid.
"What is that?" asked Phoenix.
"This is a copy of a story about a shop of wishes," answered the elder Mahotsukai, "There is a magician here that can grant almost any wishes. If you put a drop of this to your stories and in the time loop, there may be hope for the Main Cast to escape.
"However, doing this may risk Pandora's escape too, so keep an eye on it."
"We will, and if she does escape…I'll follow her," said Iwatobi.
"Please be careful," replied Camelot, "And…thank you."
Months Later, Birth of the Suiei Gods…
After the three Earths were healed up, they watched as the remaining molten rock solidified into a smaller orbital object going around Earth.
"A satellite?" asked Mayfield.
"I think we should call it a moon," said Iwatobi, "This 'moon' can be used to measure time along with the sun."
It was time to set forth on their next creations once they recorded the sun and the moon down to the compendium. However, with the main cast trapped in the time loop, they knew it was a matter of time before the first cycle was completed and that the main cast needed help.
"How can we make six of them if only five are…?" asked Phoenix.
"No…they are all in the time loop; it's just that one of them is 'locked away' in his own illusions…his nightmares of his identity, his culture…even his name," replied Iwatobi.
"Then let's get to work," said Mayfield, "We don't have the time…"
The five held their hands together as they chanted in a foreign tongue as six drops of water floated in front of them, taking on a humanoid-like shape to finalize their features before turning them back into water droplets while Sano opened the pocket dimension.
Iwatobi sent the first five droplets to enter in, counted for about 5 seconds before sending the last one in.
"Will they be alright?" asked Sametsuka.
Iwatobi kept silent and replied, "I…I don't know."
6 Years Later…
After so much trial and error, the compendium revealed that the five boys have indeed broke the time loop but they saw Pandora (from the animated scenes) escaping to some strange looking place.
Before they could wonder if she had contact with other teams and their compendium's, their own booklet glowed blue and white, flipping the pages faster and faster. Iwatobi slammed his hand down to a random page and saw a strange planet before them with a name…
Duniya
"T-this wasn't in our plans, was it?" asked Sametsuka.
"No…but this was Camelot's copy…" muttered Iwatobi, "But why did he put this in here?"
"Look you guys!" gasped Sano as they saw Pandora walking through a peaceful, village like area with mountains all around. However, her body had changed significantly as they were able to detect her blood through the book's memories.
"It's a blood of some monster," said Phoenix.
"Chiropterans," replied Mayfield, pointing to the gigantic-bat like monsters on a different page.
Iwatobi took a copy of the Alpha Earth and saw that there were a few things different in this world compared to the time loop dimension. Some of which involved with the Main cast taking their roles in their swim teams while one of them had his father still alive compared to the Alpha world.
"I feel bad for the screw up data," sighed Sano.
"No don't worry," said Iwatobi, "As long as the 'world that we planned for' stays on the right path, everyone will be alright."
"Sounds like they'll have a tough road ahead," sighed Mayfield, "They haven't even met up with the last star."
"They will," replied Iwatobi, "I will make sure of that. However, we cannot let Pandora escape from that world."
"Her blood is different in which has prohibited her most of the magic but it looks like she has forgotten a bit about herself," said Sametsuka as he analyzed her.
"I'll go and see," answered Iwatobi, "If I am able to, I can buy us time and disable her memory and..."
"WHAT?!" gasped the others.
"What if she finds out about you and…" said Phoenix.
"We have no choice," replied Iwatobi, "If she tries to escape, she will set up revenge against our creations…and manipulate them for her own needs."
He got up and flicked his fingers, transforming into a lesser being with gigantic bat-like wings.
"Are you sure?" asked Sametsuka.
"Yes…please send me to Duniya. Oh and don't forget, when the Magic Six live on Lynwin for about 10 years, be sure to send the Compendium to them. They will need to extract their memories," he said, "And their blood."
"Why?" asked Phoenix.
"…I think it's best that they should go to Duniya also…and see what they can find out," replied Iwatobi.
"But…Earth and Duniya are not related worlds," replied Mayfield.
Iwatobi smiled and whispered something before nodding and answered, "I trust you…to do this, alright?"
The others nodded and they chanted their magic once more, casting Iwatobi into the Compendium to follow Pandora on an all-out suicide mission. From there, they had to do an important job in order to keep the worlds in stability.
"I hope he's right after all of this," sighed Sametsuka as he went up to the screen and began to adjust the settings.
It was from here on out that they waited for his return…waiting, and more waiting and wondering what the future of these worlds were going to become into. They knew that their primary world would face a series of hardships while the other two were only its backup as "Alpha and Beta" with normal lives and no magic.
GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE:
To clear up the confusion (SPOILER WARNINGS HERE but to sum things up for now)
There are 6 worlds here at this point that you need to know:
~1. Planet Earth (Alpha Timeline α); the Dimension where the events in the "Official" High Speed! and Free! occurred (As the official anime of Free! Iwatobi Swim Club and Free! Eternal Summer) takes place; no magic.
~2. Planet Earth (Beta Timeline β); the Dimension where WE (in real life) live; no magic. The story of Free! is just viewed as a "story" by KyoAni, not an actual place. However, there is a place called Iwami that is based on how the setting was used.
~3. Planet Earth (Suiei Timeline 水泳); the World where A Promised Reunion and Heart of the Sixth Magic Trilogy and flashbacks of VotMS's Eternal Promise took place. There is magic here. Due to the "Time Loop" destruction, some of the data in this world isn't 100% completely written correctly as it was "Originally scripted." However, many of the events have been the same as it was foretold. (i.e. Six Stars, Shadow Mafia, Government Conspiracies, Lynwin's Rise and Destruction, Relationship Wars of the Lost Legend)
~4. Time Loop Pocket Dimension; an Earth where Memories of the Sea, The Last Race, The Future Beyond took place. The result of this world was created by Sano in order to punish Pandora for ruining their project. However, it caused a bigger mess when data was leaked from the Suiei Earth and pulled into the dimension. (This is HOW the main cast was stuck in the time loop!). In result of the jumble leak, this is why Haruka and Makoto were swapped roles for the swim team as well as Rin's father being alive still back in The Last Race. It was also to where Gou was severely ill as well as the lack of the "other cast" members from the actual anime. All of the OCs, Organizations (Deception MIA, Dark Code, and Swim-Cadet X) and plot in this very messed-up and vague due to the result of exiling Pandora into this dimension with the "leaked data" thrown in.
~5. Camelot Universe; the world where stories are made and universes are brought to life by Mahotsukai.
~6. Planet Duniya; a strange world where the majority of Voyage of the Magic Six took place. Its true significance about this planet's existence will FINALLY be revealed in this finale!
