-Somewhere in the darkness where nyx lives-
"It's already been 5 years that she has not seen them. I feel as though we should return her now. All she has been doing here is sleeping. Never eating or talking. I want to see her smile again." a man said in a blue suit holding a book that goes by the name of Theo "she has already matured enough like the rest of her friends. I believe she is ready." he said.
"I also miss her smile but without someone to take her place she cannot go anywhere. You know very well...unless you're planning to take her place?" another man much like minakos age wearing a yellow scarf going by the name of ryoji. "If I must to see her happy again I shall. For she was a special guest to me and my master. My sisters will take care of the other guests. I have already found my answer to life. She at least needs one more chance." Theo said looking at minako who was floating in air lying down and has now grown beautiful. Even more beautiful than mitsuru.
Her hair was long and now no longer was in a ponytail. She still wore her uniform and they still fit her perfectly like they grew with her as well. Her skin was soft as ever and her lips pink and warm like she had never died. "You are willing to do so then I will awake her and let you take her place. You will feel no pain just sleep." ryoji said coming towards minako and giving her cheek a quick caress.
Theo nods and watches as minako wakes up. He gives her a smile as ryoji takes her hand and leads her away where Theo lays down floating the air and closes his eyes. Minako looks at him confused but then stares around at all the darkness. The last thing that she had remembered was akihiko and her in the rooftop hearing everyone come upstairs.
"You should thank Theo he is giving you a second chance in life minako" ryoji says walking away holding out a hand for her to take. She takes it but still looks around wondering if this is her death all along.
"Don't worry none of the darkness will hurt you since nyx is gone. This is somewhere far away from nyx. I know that I said someday we could meet your friends but I didn't think it would come so soon. I feel as if your mine forever and I never want to let you go but you belong with another and I shall respect that." he said giving her a smile and tight squeeze of her hand.
Suddenly a door appears before them and ryoji opens it to see us back at the dorm she always loved to be in. With all of her friends and good times getting ready to battle but...no one was here and it's empty. No table or couch just the walls and floor and dust.
"A year after your "death" your friends could no longer stay here and moved on to go live their dreams. They are still living here busy with their lives but I know they have never forgotten you and once they see you here and alive I know they will never leave you alone. Be happy and make good memories...but if for some reason you feel you don't belong here anywhere. Just call me and I shall return you back to your sleep." ryoji says giving minako a hug and slipping pass the door again to darkness.
Minako pov:
As I wave goodbye to ryoji I walk around the place wondering how everyone has changed. What ryoji said was strange to me. I feel I do belong back here with my friends. I feel ready to battle and never sleep again. I look outside the window and see that dawn has already set. I quietly get out of the dorm hopeing
no one saw me and walked around the town seeing how different it changed.
Nothing really changed which makes me smile. I never did asked ryoji how long I was out...maybe a year? Since he said after a year of my "death" they moved out. Maybe yukari, junpei and Fuuka are in college. I wonder where they live now. How's aigis? Did they take her back to the lab? So many questions and yet here I am walking around. I have no money so I can't go to port station so might as well go to the shrine might find koro-chan there.
-somewhere at a dorm where five people are sitting around having a party-
"It's been five years...man time flies...Fuuka! Are you done cooking yet?" a man with a baseball hat and purple shirt with matching pants. A grey belt and goatee.
A girl with a pink tank top shirt and light blue ripped jeans. Her hair is short and is wearing light pink lipstick. Goes from behind the kitchen door and throws a spoon at the man. "Urgh! Stupei! Don't pressure her to finish it quickly! She's still learning to become a chef!" the girl said.
"When are you ever gonna stop calling me stupei huh! I'm your boyfriend after all yuka-tan." he says putting a hand over his heart. "Whenever you stop calling me yuka-tan!" she said throwing a pillow at him.
A scream is heard in the kitchen and the couple run to the kitchen wondering what happened.
Two girls are in the kitchen having sugar all over them with a girl wearing a green dress and short black hair coughing. As the other one with blond hair staring at her and the couple holding a now broken and popped flour bag.
"Whoa what happened Fuuka?" the girl said grabbing a wet towel and handing it to Fuuka.
"I'm sorry yukari and junpei I didn't mean to ruin your kitchen I just asked aigis to pop the flour open I didn't know she would actually do this." Fuuka said grabbing a wet towel.
"Don't worry about it Fuuka I'll help you out." yukari said wiping off the flour on her shirt. In the meantime aigis steps out of the room and looks out the window. Seeming to be in space.
"Hey aigis? You ok there?" junpei says waving his hand by her face. After staring in space for a while she starts to smile and runs towards the door knocking junpei back in surprise.
"Woah! Where are you going aigis?" junpei said as Fuuka and yukari get out from the kitchen.
"I must go to her. She has returned. I must bring her back for all of you to see. Please call everyone." aigis said then headed out the door leaving the others dumbfounded.
