Episode 7: 水泳レボリューションパート1: サウザンドロンリーソウルズ
Suiei Revolution Part 1: Thousand Lonely Souls
When you're drowning in shadows...
Look for the light in your heart...
And you'll see...
The sun was beginning to set down while Alex stood on the balcony with Rei. However, the former was dead silent as his heart was nothing but vengeance and anger. He didn't know what to do or how he was going to return to Duniya but he could only think about revenge to his "mother".
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" asked Rei.
Alex only nodded slowly in silence as the warm breeze swept through and their hair dancing in the wind.
"Oh Alex, please talk to me," said the megane, worried, "Unlike you, I cannot feel your mind."
After a moment or two, he turned around to hug him and said, "I'm sorry…Rei."
"Why are you sorry?" he asked, hugging back, "You never did anything wrong."
"But I…back then…I was trying to kill you, didn't I?" he replied, "I…I never had such a dark feeling like that other than when I was in my Chiropteran form…but even now it's just…"
"I know that wasn't you," said Rei, "So don't worry about it; it's not your fault."
Alex could only think back to when Rei tried to kill him in Italy while they were searching for the Shadow Mafia and rescuing his brother. It was a sudden, brief fight but it brought the two of the closer to each other…and now here they are lovers that made an eternal promise.
"…I guess we kill to love each other...they say it's a make up to break up and to make up again," replied Alex.
Rei turned to him as he wondered what it all meant but he couldn't help but make a small smile at the least. It was after all, a small time of peace before they would have to go back out again and face their destiny.
"…I…I want to," he began.
"Yes?" asked Rei as he leaned in closer.
Alex grabbed him in for a kiss as the megane was a bit surprised but kissed back and the two locked their lips in for a few moments. Once they took a breath, the two looked at each others' eyes.
"We still got a long road ahead," said Alex, "We have to save the people first...defeat the Bolsheviks...and then we have to find a way to defeat Pandora."
"Together we'll do all of that, and more," smiled Rei.
The two went in for another kiss while Rei moaned a bit inside their mouths. After taking a breath, they smiled a little as Alex said, "We should at least do this inside."
Rei chuckled and they both walked into the bed as they were already going to settle in for some fun.
In a different room, Haruka lied down on the bed, wondering what the future would hold for this world. Makoto was already in the shower cleaning himself up as he too was in a state of mind about what has happened and what troubles they will face ahead.
So Pandora must have known we were returning back here, of course, why didn't I see it before if Alex talked so much about her, wouldn't he knew that it was her the whole time, he thought.
He heard footsteps coming towards the bathroom; taking a peek out to see, he saw Haruka already in his swimsuit form.
"You're going to the pool again?" asked Makoto.
Haruka walked into the shower as the taller boy blushed.
"H-haru?"
Makoto was starting to feel a bit dense as his own shaft was already taking up on its tower form; Haruka looked down at it for a moment before deciding to make a taste.
"Aahh..aaahahhhh," moaned Makoto.
Rin had no where to go but to surrender to his blonde as Nagisa was already gripping on him with one hand and kissing his chest on the next. The blonde was always very dominant when it comes to making some love around.
However, Rin had his own moment with Nagisa when he became the top one and as much as he missed doing it; he was not going to put up another challenge.
"Aaaahaaa…d-dammit!" muttered Rin.
Nagisa could only chuckle as he went down to the shaft and began to taste himself in.
"Are you doing alright?" asked Alex, pinning Rei down onto the bed and staring at his deep purple eyes.
"Y-yeah," moaned Rei as he could feel their shafts joined together in a teasing frottage.
"I want to try something," he replied.
"Oh? Well go for it," blushed Rei.
Alex gripped both of their shafts and kept close to their skins, saying, "I'll keep it out…so we can splash."
They both moaned and breathed heavily as the tension on their bodies was getting thicker and passionate, bringing themselves closer to each other while dipping another kiss. Rei hugged around Alex to bring him closer while the latter used his open hand to brush through the blue hair and massaging on the chest.
"R-Reeiii…" moaned Alex, "I…I'm go-gonnaaaa…"
"M-me tooooo," replied Rei, feeling his shaft about to spasm, "AAHHH...AAHHHHHHH!"
The two erupted out as they splattered on each other's chest, abs, and a few splats on their face. Alex descended down for another kiss while their bodies were sticking together like glue from their lovingly fluid.
"It's been a while…" smiled Alex with a little laughter.
"Hehe, yeah, I miss this," replied Rei.
"Hey I think we should go for a swim!" he answered, "Now that at least we are safe back together."
"Hmm, I guess we could but isn't it rather late?" asked the megane.
"Well hopefully the others show up too but I have a feeling they're probably getting into each other," blushed Alex.
"You silly," laughed Rei, "Alrighty, let's head down!"
Rin sat out on the balcony with Nagisa as they were both watching the moonlight and the stars.
"Such a beautiful night," smiled the blonde.
"It is…" smirked Rin, "However…you really know how to play."
Before Nagisa could answer, Rin did a playful flick of his fingers at Nagisa's forehead. Nagisa grunted and pouted in annoyance, replying, "That was mean Rin-Rin!"
"Oh…" said Rin, pulling the blonde in for a kiss for a moment before they took a breath. Nagisa was 'playfully not impressed by this'.
"I'll forgive you this time…however…" began the blonde.
Rin took his chance to kiss on the forehead and asked, "Much better now?"
"Yes…however…" began Nagisa.
"Eh?" asked Rin.
Nagisa used his strength to pull Rin down and playfully tickled him, saying, "Tickle Attack Revenge!"
Rin laughed as he tried to get the blonde off of him, "N-Nagisaaa…y-you lil'shit!"
"You sorry?" asked the blonde.
"I fucking love you, okay?" replied Rin, "That's how I apologize to you…sexy penguin."
"Love you too," smiled Nagisa as they both locked their lips again for a deeper kiss.
After the moment, Rin stretched out his arms and said, "You know…we haven't swim for a bit…I bet you the others might go downstairs."
"I was thinking the same thing!" replied the blonde, "Let's GO SWIMMINNNNGGGG!"
Makoto and Haruka arrived down at the pool area in the west tower of Manorial as their clothes transformed to their casual bathing suit form (Haruka's transformed to his dark-indigo with yellow thin stripes while Makoto donned his orange-yellow-version).
The two jumped in for a moment and was about to share a quick kiss when the others arrived in the scene with their casual swim suits (though Rei kept his racing version on with the blue and white stripes).
"Making out already Haru-chan?" giggled Nagisa.
"Been there done that," sighed Haruka.
"Well at least it's such a relief!" smiled Rin.
"I would agree the same thing," said Alex.
The four jumped in together while Rin was already at it with the butterfly with Rei while Nagisa swam up to Makoto and Haruka. Alex on the other hand was already feeling a bit worried about the future but he sort of stayed close to the others.
After Rin and Rei flipped around and returned back, they saw Alex feeling a bit worried.
"Something the matter?" asked Rei.
"I…I don't know," he replied, "It's just…a lot of things."
"Well at least we managed to reunite together," said Rin.
"Perhaps, but with our absence from Duniya," began Alex, "Pandora will be making a move on there…I just know she will!"
"We'll find a way to return there," replied Rei, resting his hand on his partner's shoulder, "And we'll defeat her."
"Y-you don't understand," said Alex, shaking his head, "She could snap her fingers right now and we'd be dead! That's how powerful a mahotsukai is! She's probably keeping us alive as part of her plans and once we unwittingly fulfill them, she'll kill us!"
"Do you know what she is doing?" asked Nagisa.
"I'm not 100% certain," he replied, "But I am sure she's trying to toy with us as well as both Earth and Duniya. I don't know what she is after…but it's no doubt that once she obtains her goals, she'll definitely get rid of us."
"Is there anyway we can do?" asked Makoto.
"…I remember one thing though," said Alex, "When I was living in Chirottori back on Duniya, Tesseract once said that she was after a powerful book…one that we know as the Compendium. If she gets her hands on that book, she will use it against us…"
"Well then, we just have to make sure it stays out of her claws," nodded Rei, "As long as it's not with her…we are alive...and we won't be touched."
"Well, let's have some fun!" smiled Nagisa as he splashed the water around and at them.
"Oi!" laughed Rin as he splashed back.
Makoto and Haruka shared a brief kiss while Rei, Alex, Nagisa and Rin were already in a playful splash fight. At one point, Makoto got splashed so he too, fought back while Haruka just shook his head with a slight giggle.
The others turned around as Haruka blushed.
"Let's get him!" they shouted as they chased Haruka across the waters while Rin grabbed him from behind and the others tickled him all over from head to toe. Haruka tried to hold his laughter but finally bursted out a happy laughter that echoed all over the pool room, prompting them to blush in silence but with a smile.
"You still laugh Haru-chan!" smirked Nagisa.
"I…I wasn't laughing!" sighed Haruka.
Makoto quickly gave him a quick peck on the cheek saying, "At least you still have it in you."
They all glomped happily together, renewing their vows to stay together for the team; it was after all, their one and only destiny…
"This time…we won't lose!" said Rin.
"We got a lot of lives to rescue still," added Makoto.
"And we'll do what we can to make them remember 'The Last Legend'," agreed Rei.
"Together with our words of power," said Nagisa.
"And with the magic in our hearts," nodded Haruka.
"And with those who still support us," said Alex.
"WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!" they all chanted.
In the main tower of the castle, Seijuurou sat down on one of the benches and watched the fountain and the garden along with Gou. They held hands together as they watched the moonlight shining above hem.
"I'm sorry," said Sei, "For not being able to find you after…"
"No, it's not your fault," she replied, "I'm just glad that we are safe and together now."
"Have you seen the kids?" he asked.
Gou shook her head and said sadly, "We thought we saw them…but it was a trap triggered by the Sharkbait clan."
"H-how dare they!?" gasped Sei as his eyes narrowed a bit, "To take dishonor on our children like that!"
"GOU-SAAANNNN! NII-SAANNNNN!" shouted the voice of Momotarou.
"And there he goes again," sighed Sei with a sweatdrop.
Momotarou arrived and said, "Hey, we got some new guests that showed up here!"
"Huh?!" replied the elder brother.
"Who showed up?" asked Gou.
"Well apparently there's this guy and a woman that came from…Los Angeles. They said that they were at this…Terran Nost for a while after they woke up along with the rest of us!"
"You think we should get the others?" asked Sei.
"Let's just give them the night to spend with each other," replied Gou, "They've haven't been able to do much for the last few days."
Momotarou led the two through the halls as they arrived in the main chamber where the Av-Matoran saluted the guests while the trio waited to the side.
"Ha-ha!" echoed a familiar voice, "You three are together I see!"
"E-EH!?" gasped Momotarou, feeling a bit frightened.
"I-Is that…?!" gasped Gou, running out to see.
Miho Amakata and Goro Sasabe saw Gou running towards them while the Mikoshiba brothers walked behind.
"We finally managed to get here," said Miho.
"COACH SASABE! AMA-CHAN-SENSEI!" shouted Gou happily as she glomped the hug with them.
The two laughed happily while the brothers were in a bit of shock to see them alive and well…could this mean?
"I see you two are a bit confused," said Sasabe, "We are the same as you guys…we paid a part of our lives to the witch boy as emergency life reserves."
Sei could only lower his head as this fateful, grim reminder echoed in his mind…
From the day you wake up once more, you and the others will live a short-span of time…this time can be anywhere from a few hours to a few years. Invest it well and do remember that your lives will be more vulnerable when you use this ability…
"Don't even remind me!" sighed Momotarou, "It's too grim!"
"We know," replied Gou, "But we are grateful for every hour that we are granted to live still."
"We got some supplies given to us from Abel Jacobs and Tasha Barnes," explained Sasabe, "We got some airships as well as battle vehicles in case of an emergency."
"The airships will help the people of the shattered societies leave this continent safely," nodded Miho.
"We've been told by Beatrice," said Seijuurou, "That this world has declinded severely…is it true?"
"Afraid so," replied Miho, "The radioactivity and the poison that our enemy has used destroyed many lives in this world…not just Lynwin but the rest of the world too."
"You think that after all this mess…will everyone be able to repopulate?" asked Gou.
"I'm sure that once the Magic Six repairs this problem," said Sasabe, "It will be a new beginning."
"Are they in bed now?" asked Miho.
"Yes, they are asleep," said Seijuurou.
Beatrice walked in with a smile, "Welcome to Manorial. I apologize for not coming earlier but I just spoke with Desya and the airplanes are by Mediterraneans."
The others gasped as Momo answered, "W-what are we going to do!?"
"We can't waste time. They will have to start their mission by dawn," she replied.
"B-but what about the others?!" asked Gou, "Anastasia…Sousuke…"
"I don't think we have to wait much," smiled Beatrice as they all heard a soft blow of the wind.
The Main Gates opened up, revealing Anastasia, Sousuke, Nao, Kisumi, Ikuya and Shiina walking in. The Av-Matoran saluted a bow to the gang as they passed by.
Momo, Gou, and Sei gasped as they saw Sousuke donning a robotic arm on his left limb; from shoulder to the finger tips.
"S-SOUSUKE!?" shouted Momotarou.
Gou ran up to Sousuke as she spilled tears of sadness onto his jacket, "W-what happened?!"
"I am sorry," he answered, "But please don't worry. I won't hide anymore. Chigusa knew about this back in the day…so don't worry."
"Hana-chan…" muttered Gou, "I saw her the other day and she was worried sick about you!"
"I know," he replied, "I'll see her again."
Momotarou looked at his arm and said, "As much as I am shocked about this…it looks fascinating!"
"Well at least I am glad you are okay; however, Rin and the others will be in shock for this," she replied as she released the hug and stood by with Sei.
Aki walked in and saw Sousuke's arm and said, "I see you've shown your true colors."
"I had no choice," he replied.
Meanwhile, Anastasia and Beatrice were already in a conversation of their own as the ex-princess blushed a little while Beatrice greeted her with a bow.
"My name is Beatrice Zinger Romanova; it's a please to finally meet you," she said.
"H-how!?" gasped Anastasia, "Y-you're a Romanov!?"
"I am one of your descendants," she smiled.
"But how is that possible?" asked Anastasia, "The family was all killed and…!"
"It was your father's wish," said Beatrice, "Your father made a wish to that man, to give a part of his genetic material along with your mother's…to be preserved and protected. It was eventually given to a donor where a new generation of the Romanovs rose…but they were under in a disguise with different names such as Petrovara and Petrovichs."
"F-father…m-mother…" she sniffed a few tears while Beatrice hugged her, "So does this mean that…?"
"Yes," replied Beatrice, "The Romanovs have survived the whole time…and they will rise once again into power."
"But…I don't wish to rule or lead," said Anastasia, "I may not know the full-extent details about our downfall, but…I don't want another war fought…because of our blood."
"I can't promise you that there won't be any mores wars but we have to help this world. We will see what happens next," answered Beatrice.
Anastasia nodded as Beatrice continued, "Now…there is another survivor as well that you should meet."
Andreas stepped into the room and bowed before her, saying, "Your majesty, my name is Andreas. It is a great honor to finally meet you."
"So you're another one?" asked Anastasia.
"Yes, Beatrice and I are cousins from far descent…but we stayed here together in this kingdom while we waited for you and the Magic Six to return," he replied.
She nodded and turned to Beatrice, "Do…do you think that what I am about to do…is the right thing?"
"I don't think you should ask me that...it's you that is to decide. You decide on what YOU THINK is the best," she replied.
Anastasia turned to her back as her wings grew a little again, making a small glow around her body, "…I know…I have to help them. These wings are proof that a very strong power that my grandma once had…she split it up to keep it safe from the wrong hands. And then…she entrusted me and Alexei for a while until someday I would regain this."
Beatrice nodded with a smile as the princess continued, "…Iwatobi's wings will help save the people of Lynwin. I may not be a Suiei God or a part of the Magic Six…but I am sure at least I can be of some help…with this kind of power,"
"You have come a long way indeed," replied Beatrice, "You have grown stronger both your mind and in your heart. You don't have to keep asking yourself…the answer is now within your heart."
"Then…I hope that when the time comes, at least…I hope…that everyone will stop fighting," said Anastasia.
Dawn:
The Magic Six woke up early enough before sunrise even though some of them were dead tired from the whole fiasco the last several days. But either way, it did not stop them from going to save their homeland once and for all.
They stood together in the main room, waiting for Beatrice.
"Good Morning," she smiled, walking in the room as she was dressed in a white, elegant, flowy uniform, looking like a queen.
Behind her, Sousuke walked into the main chamber along with Aki and Anastasia . Once it was visible enough to see, the others gasped at Sousuke's arm.
"EHHHHH!?" gasped Makoto.
"S-Sousuke?!" gasped Rin, shocked at the robotic arm
"W-what happened to you Sou-chan?!" shouted Nagisa.
Rei could only stare at the arm in silence while Haruka and Alex didn't say a word as well. Already Rin's face was about to tear up but he pushed to hold back.
"I've had it hidden for a long time," said Sousuke, "It's part of a price that I paid for."
"What price?" asked Rei.
"It's something that cannot be said," he answered, "I'm sorry."
"Why didn't you tell anyone about this?!" asked Makoto
"Because I only wanted it to be a part of my burden and no one else to share with," said Sousuke, "However… the more I spent with all of you...the more I realized...there really isn't much to hide anymore."
He turned to Rin and said, "And it's all because of you, that gave me the spirit that I thought I've lost all these years."
Rin rushed up to him and grabbed both of his arms, saying, "Tell me the truth, is your other arm the same as well?!"
Sousuke shook his head and said, "Only the left…I promise; I won't lie to myself or anyone again."
At this point Rin couldn't help it but hugged him, spilling a fear tears, "Oh you…you idiot!"
"Of course I knew this would saddened you," said Sousuke, wiping Rin's tears, "But please, I'm doing alright now. I won't die."
Nagisa joined in for the hug as the three embraced a little while Rei walked up to take a closer look at it was he was already getting interested.
"So uh, how does it work…this arm?" asked the megane.
"Rei-chan, this isn't the time now," said Nagisa.
Rei blushed a little when the door opened, revealing Miho and Sasabe walking in. Rin, Alex, Makoto and Haruka gasped in shocked while Makoto shouted, "SASABE KOCHI!?"
"HOW!?" gasped Rei.
Nagisa was already glomping a hug behind the former coach while he laughed in reply, "I see you guys have made it back!"
"Ama-chan," smiled Makoto.
"I'm so glad you guys are okay!" said Nagisa.
"There's an old saying...from Aristotle... "Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit."
Rin couldn't help but smile at that while Sousuke even chuckled a little as the former released the hug to finish wiping the tears off. Anastasia's wings grew open and glowed, prompting everyone to turn to see her.
"W-wow!" gasped Rin.
"It's beautiful," agreed Rei.
"A-anya…" said Alex.
The princess turned to Alex and answered, "I possess the power of Iwatobi. He's the same man that was your guardian father…back when you lived in the days of a Chiropteran…"
"W-WAIT! WHAT?!" gasped Alex.
"Are you saying that Tesseract is…" began Haruka.
"Iwatobi-chan?! OUR MASCOT?!" asked Makoto.
"He is," nodded Anastasia, "He is one of those people who you call them…Mahotsukai. These wings were a part of his power given to me and it has told me what has all happened. Long ago, when the Romanovs first form, a necklace and a pin were created by him...and the empire kept its power for safe keeping...passing down the lines up until the downfall long ago."
"Sugoi!" gasped Nagisa.
"My poor brother Alexei died...for he carried the pin of the wings...but," said Anastasia, looking at Alex, "You… in a way reminded me of him...always wanting to go out on an adventure. Probably because I was the one who told him about the outside world a lot..."
Now she was feeling a bit saddened by all of this but Alex walked up to hug her and replied, "Even so… I am glad to have known you...Anastasia."
She nodded and spilled a few tears while Aki decided to go up to them as well, replying, "The same goes for me…and…I'm sorry for having to be so harsh on you before."
"Mother…er I mean, Georgia. She'd be proud of us right now if she saw us here," said Alex.
Rei smiled as the three hugged together for a moment, knowing that this would be a huge turning point soon but they all hope to reunite after this mess was over.
"It'll be a happy ending soon too," said Rin.
"Yeah, soon the people will realize their mistakes and we can defeat the enemies together...taking back the land that was once ours," nodded Makoto.
Beatrice could only smile at their hopes…however…she couldn't help but to stay silent after the fact when she learned from Camelot the other day about a shocking truth about this land. However, time would only tell on whether the truth should be told or not.
"It's time now," said Beatrice, "You best get ready."
The Magic Six stood together on the platform balcony as their clothes adjusted back to their flight armor with the skyblasters and other weapons. Sousuke and Aki stood alongside with Gou, the Mikoshiba brothers, Sergi, Ran and Ren and a few other people.
"Just be careful now, alright?" asked Sousuke.
"We'll be evacuating the people here onto the airships when they arrive," said Aki, "Hopefully by then, the people of this land will be okay and we can get them out of there too."
The Magic Six nodded and began to take off while Anastasia flapped her wings, joining the team on the dangerous journey back out to the swamp, heading for Lynwin-Mu.
In Tahiti, Xing walked out with her Sametsuka Spell Staff as she saw Shouta Nakagawa and Toru Iwashimisu standing alongside with Kazuteru and Takuya with an army of other civlians of the Sametsuka Covenant. Time was of the essence for them as the other clans were already preparing other armies for a full launch out battle in Lyniwn-Mu.
"Let's go!" she said, "We have to get there safely before the Bolsheviks arrive here and attack!"
"YES MY LADY!" shouted the army.
"And…don't let anyone else follow us; kill them immediately if you must!" she ordered.
The army cheered on and marched their way out, heading to the swampy, mud paths that led to the road of Lynwin-Mu.
Back in Marqueseas, Atari was already pissed off after being reported that the stone was no longer by the Mako-Haru fountain.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S GONE?!" she snapped.
"I…I don't know how or what happened but it's not there!" replied one of the guards.
"Oh never mind," she growled with a sigh, "Our hackers earlier today are reporting that the other clans are making their way to the ruins of Lynwin. I assume it's going to be a big battle so gather our best armies together!
"I expect we leave within the next hour from now...go!"
"Yes ma'am!" bowed the guard, running off to send out her orders.
In the skies above Panape, Annabelle was already on her broomstick as she turned to her army before her; filled with 100s of witches and several warlocks that were ready for the battle ahead. It was going to take them a bit of time to get there but they decided to not use magic until it was appropriate for fighting.
"I can only assume that one of the other clans took the stone...and we'll make them pay for it...but for now, let us get back to Lynwin where it all started...so we can end this!" said Annabelle.
"Are you sure that the other clans are on their way?" asked the first voice.
"Yes," replied the recipient, holding the phone out, "I am very sure. They will do anything to take the power of the ruins."
"We are expected to arrive in about...10 hours or so. But that should be enough time for the clans to get tired out and we'll break it in to destroy them all," replied the voice, "And where should I meet you up by?"
"The Suiei Temple Ruins," said the recipient, "It's the most holy place there. The other clans are too frightened to go even near there unless they are in their rituals."
Claudia stood tall and mighty before her army of the butterflies; with her injuries now healed, there was no time to waste for the final opportunity for power was near.
"I will kill Johann!" she growled, "She better say her prayers!"
In a different area of the swamp, another army was already making way but they stopped at a islet to recover from the exhaustion of traveling.
"My lady, they are heading for the temple as well…" said the guard.
"I see," replied Demitra, thinking back…
Flashback: Last Night
Demitra woke up and found herself standing in the white void of time and space when she saw a familiar face before her. Her eyes widened in shock as she almost didn't recognize her in the first place…
"J-Johann!?" shouted Demitra, running towards her.
The other young lady smiled with her lighter brown hair and her clean face from all the makeup of the purple and yellow designs. After being killed by Alex, all of her memories returned and her idolized form was undone back to her natural, true self.
"Demitra," she smiled, "The Magic Six are still alive and they are not to be forgotten."
"W-what?!" gasped Demitra, "But it's the Style Five though…how is it possible that there are Six Kings?!"
"Remember Lydia?" she asked, "She erased your memories of the final star. Then she put everyone against each other. It was too late to save me but I think you and the others can be saved."
Demitra gasped as Johann's final line sounded as if….
"Oh no…" she trembled, "J-Johann!? A-are you dead?!"
"I'm so sorry for what I have to say," replied the other woman, "But listen to me…there's a lot I have to tell you and there's very little time! The other clans are going to attack Lynwin-Mu in order to get Beatrice's attention and one of the girls is doing the unthinkable! You have to stop her before she ends up like me!"
"W-what are you talking about?" asked Demitra, "But what about your people?! Will they be alright without you?!"
"They'll be fine, do not worry," smiled Johann.
"Alright, I trust you…" she said, "I mean…I can barely remember his name but there are six of them?"
"Yes," answered Johann, "His name is Alex."
Before they could further in the conversation, the dream was beginning to fall apart. At the last moment, Johann told Demitra a very important message in which the mission itself would be almost impossible to accomplish.
"Good luck," echoed Johann's voice.
Present Time
Demitra opened her eyes as one of the guards shook her awake, once she was ready, the army continued to set out on forth while Demitra's eyes narrowed with vengeance and anger.
She was still a bit shocked from what she learned through that dream but there was very little time before someone's colors will be revealed which may result in the ultimate destruction of their home.
"Let's go! We have to save our friends before they fight off again!" she shouted to her army while getting on her massive gray bird and pulling on the reins for flight.
Back in Manorial…
After a few hours from their departure, the people saw massive floating airships that looked almost like a series of blimps flying around but it had specialized, metallic aircraft with advance flying technologies instead of the helium that is used by the regular blimps.
The townspeople gathered together and saw one of the ships floating down towards an open area of the region. Once the passage was opened, the people gathered together by the fortress, lining up in a series of lines to enter the ship.
"Amazing," said Seijuurou while his brother was almost speechless.
"Wow!" smiled Gou.
"Please be careful," said Aki, looking at Sousuke.
"You know I will," he replied.
"Are you sure you're going to stay?" asked Seijuurou while holding Gou's hand.
"Yes, I need to help them," she replied.
"I wanna stay too!" moaned Momotarou
"It's too dangerous for you...just keep the siblings safe, alright?" asked Aki.
Momotarou sighed as he joined up with the townspeople with Sergi, Ran and Ren, heading onto the airship.
"It's almost time," said Aki, readying her radioactive gun.
Sousuke's eyes glowed neon teal while Sei's glowed his golden-yellow and Nitori's with his sky blue while Gou's with her burgundy red. They turned to see Beatrice as she led them to a smaller aircraft that would have her and the others fly down rapidly towards the temple to back up the Magic Six if needed.
"Remember to keep your headsets on and ready," she instructed as they got inside the smaller ship where the pilot activated it for takeoff.
Hours Later…
In the swamps, Rin's X-ray vision enabled him to see the temple finally ahead, "Almost there!"
The others smiled in relief as they knew that it was all in a matter of time before they can get the people back to normal again once more.
"We just have to get in there," smiled Alex as he turned to see Anastasia keeping up with her flight.
Before the others could reply, a loud explosion was heard in the distance.
"SHIT!" growled Rin, "What's going on!?"
Makoto turned to his right and saw an explosion of fire in the ruins of the city while Haruka landed down on a mud islet to try to see what was happening.
"Haru!" shouted Alex, "This isn't the time to stop right now!"
"W-what's going on with the city!?" asked Rei.
"We don't have the time to…" began Nagisa when they heard loud screeching souds as if someone had the microphone messed up.
"Game's over!" shouted the voice of Annabelle, "The time has come to decide who belongs with who!"
Makoto held hands with Haruka and Rin and said, "Stay here with me in a trio!"
The team floated closely together as they could see distant figures emerging their way out from the fog, realizing that they were surrounded by different clans of people.
"W-who is that one!?" asked Rei as he pointed to an Asian woman with a wicked looking staff.
"Is that the one that Ai-chan was telling us about?!" asked Nagisa, worried.
"All of you bitches are wrong! As long as Rin, Sousuke, Nitori, Sei, Momo, and the Sametsukas are in our hands!" said Xing.
"STOP TELLING US WHAT TO DO!" shouted Rin, firing a blast of water towards her.
Xing blocked it and replied, "Oh Rin...my...at last. I hope you didn't suffer from the other clans...but join us...and we can get you back to your days in Sametsuka."
Atari appeared from the left with her group of robots and several people with their weapons of all ranges while Annabelle appeared from the opposite end with the witches.
Makoto and Rin remained deadly slilent as their faces were filled wither anger while Alex tried to get Anastasia to stay close by for this dangerous encounter.
"Give us Rin and Makoto and nobody will be heart!" said Denise as she arrived with her clan, much to their surprise.
"I didn't realize that they like us too that way," muttered Rin to Makoto.
Abigail arrived with her clan, asking, "Where is Sei and Gou? Do you guys know?"
Rin was about to reply on that when Denise shouted, "Where have you been all this time?! You said that you'd show up by the Ponte Cliff!"
"Seriously you have got to be!" smirked Atari.
"Why am I not even surprised," sighed Xing.
Caludia arrived with her clan and said, "Give me Rei and Rin and there'll be a peaceful prosperity in this land!"
"We won't go with any of you!" growled Rei.
"Leave us alone!" shouted Nagisa, "There is more serious problem going on than this!"
"Oh you mean the Bolsheviks?" asked Atari before laughing, "HA! All we need is one of you to join our clans and we'll defeat the losing clans and them!"
"You have 5 seconds to decide…" said Annabelle.
Rei grabbed Alex's hand and answered, "We can't defeat the Bolsheviks if we are not fighting together!"
"Do you even care about this land? They want to destroy it!" shouted Nagisa.
Alex decided to step out and asked, "Tell me…ladies. What about your ReiGisa clan leader? Where is she?"
Atari and Annabelle gasped on that while they looked at the other leaders and muttered to themselves. However, Claudia smirked in reply, "Serves her right! She's most likely dead by the Chiropterans!"
Denise looked at Claduia sharply, wondering if she was the one who murdered her.
"Well Demitra isn't here either," muttered Xing.
"You have no right to speak for yourself boy!" shouted Atari, looking at Alex, "If you TRY to even take one of them for yourself...you WILL DIE!"
Haruka gasped to himself while Rei replied out loud, "ARE YOU ALL OUT OF YOUR MINDS?! We don't have time for your stupid fights! THIS LAND, OUR HOME, is going to be destroyed and all you care about is your dramatic relationships?!"
"He's right!" shouted a voice from nearby.
The clan leaders turned to see Demitra arriving at the scene as the final woman landed down on a mud islet and said, "Rei is right…enough!"
"H-how dare you?!" growled Atari as she readied her gun at Demitra while Annabelle prepared her magic.
By this point, Anastasia had enough of this so she began to make her way towards the temple quietly but Xing saw her sneaking off and said to Kazuteru and Takuya, "Don't let her escape! I want her!"
"RUN! ANYA!" shouted Alex, gasping at his fatal error on revealing the name. The other girls looked at the escapee in shock, wondering if this was the legendary princess…
Before anyone could try to analyze her, Rin carefully timed an explosion of water from the swamp, backing the armies away while they soared off towards the temple as quickly as possible, Demitra sent out her strongest guards to get the other clan leaders in hopes to buy the team some time.
"COME ON YOU GUYS!" shouted Rin.
"We have to create a water barrier to shield the temple!" replied Alex.
The robotos fired their guns while the witches unleashed their magic towards them, forcing the team to create a strong water shield to deflect off the blasts.
"We won't let them take us away again!" shouted Haruka.
"YOU GUYS WATCH OUT!" cried Nagisa as they saw several more robots appearing right by the temple.
Makoto summoned his vase to throw battry acids on the robots, casuing them to explode into flames which shocked Atari as she cried out, "YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THAT!"
Anastaisa turned to see two guys flying right towards her, readying their spears. The princess could only smile as her eyes glowed blue, putting them inside a trance of hypnosis. With a shrug, she continued to fly to the temple and leaving the two helplessly floating in the air.
"Almost there!" shouted Rei.
The princess finally got inside the temple while the Magic Six combined their powers to create a massive water barrier wit ha mixture of their water combined with the swamp water and the goo, creating extra layers in hopes to buy some time. The females growled and surrounded the barrier like a group of angry bees.
Demitra turned her head and saw Abigail trying to do something down below as if…
She's trying to break in with something, she thought, readying her dagger.
Abigail turned to see the dagger flying down towards her, dodging it out of the way as she snapped, "You won't stop me!"
"Johann is dead because of our sins! But I won't let you try to make another contribution to our faults!" shouted Demitra.
Abigail could only laugh and said, "It's only business…nothing personal."
"What are you talking about?!" asked Atari.
"Well, I guess I should just say it," she replied, "I hate yaoi! I hate your worship for boy's love!"
"W-WHAT DID YOU JUST…!?" shouted Annabelle.
"I hate it because of YOU!" said Abigail, "You guys ruined the meaning of love between two males and continued to act soooooo great to the ones you worshiped for! But what about the hetero ones like Aki and Nitori…or more so with Sei and Gou?!"
"And what do you intend to do with us?!" asked Xing, "You can't defeat us alone!"
"You're right that's true…however…I really didn't want to end your miserable lives," she replied, "After I saw what you have done to this land and to your people, I had enough!"
She laughed a psycho-tone as she continued, "However, once my people arrive here…I'll enjoy the peace and quiet when you're all gone from this world!"
The other girls' gasped in shock as they realized what she was saying before her; Denise was far beyond upset to even reply at the meaning of this even though she had several warning signs beforehand but simply ignored it…
"H-how could YOU DO THIS TO US!?" shouted Xing, soaring down towards her with her staff at the ready, "YOU TRAITOR! BECAUSE OF YOU THERE WILL NOT BE A HOME LEFT FOR ANYONE!"
Abigail laughed and used her powers to propel Xing back, throwing her towards a rock while the other girls were still somewhat in a shocking daze from this revelation before them.
Inside the Suiei Temple:
Alex rushed through around, checking on the walls, the floor, the pillars while the others were doing the same thing, trying to find clues or scriptures that would hopefully get the people to stop fighting.
"This is impossible!" said Rin, "With such of the old language here, there's no way we can save them!"
Makoto walked up towards the altar and removed the cloth, seeing a set of strange yet familiar symbols. The others joined up as they saw the symbol of Time and Life.
"Th-those symobls!" gasped Nagisa.
"Yes…it's the same ones that Sergi and I used to have on our necks," said Alex, remembering his days with the Ignika tattoo, "It was because of us that made this continent rise from the ocean depths…time…life…"
"But you and Sergi don't have that ability, right?" asked Rei.
"That's right," he nodded, "We used the last of the contract to make this land a home for everyone. I don't have the power of life anymore nor does my brother with time."
Anastasia pointed to another inscription on the altar as it had a symbol of wings that almost matched the one that she had on her back.
"They match!" said Rin.
So it's true…thought Anastasia, my time here then…
"A-Anya?" asked Alex, looking at the princess.
"Is something the matter?" asked Nagisa.
"It's nothing," she replied, "You have to get back outside and stop them from going crazy. I know what I have to do from here on out."
"Promise me…" said Alex, "That you won't die."
"I won't" she smiled as her eyes glowed neon blue again.
The others began to make their way out while Nagisa briefly watched as Anastasia floated up ontop of the table while her wings began to glow from golden yellow to white light, creating sparks of spheres floating around.
"From this point on…" she muttred, "Be free…"
In front of her, Johann smiled and replied, "Thank you…"
What happened after that...was speechless...bright lights exploded from the temple, striking every of the combatants and the leaders, filling back their hearts that they lost. The Magic Six gasped in shock as they could see through the waters while trying not to get blinded by the bright lights all around.
A storm of sakura petals rained all around as everyone screamed in pain from the energies unleashed, destroying the darkness that was locked in each of the individuals.
All the lies…forgotten memories…hatred…vengeance…and perhaps pride and jealousy…
Everything was finally changed…finally…it has ended.
The Magic Six broke out of the water barrier and saw several people crying and hugging for joy as they were all reunited together for the first time in many years of separation. The clan leaders turned their heads and gasped at the sight of the six guys before them, realizing that they did exist after all these years.
"Heavens have mercy on us!" cried Annabelle as she was already crying, begging for forgiveness.
Atari turned to see Xing still standing there in pure shock while Denise was looking like as if she woke up from a longer hibernation…
Finally, they could all hear those powerful words…
"I swim…"
"Free…"
"For the team!"
"For my precious bonds of friendship!"
"To strive for every beauty!"
"Because it is OUR destiny!"
The swampy clouds around them dissolved away as the sunlight shinned through at last, showing a series of airships high above while a smaller plane arrived on one of grassy islets where Beatrice and the others walked out to see this reunion finally.
"BEATRICE!" screamed Claudia as she was already hugging her with tears on her face.
The Av-Matoran also arrived as Amnat grabbed Abigail before she could make an escape, bonding her hands in chains of solid light while Kotoph held her by the left with Raditor by her right.
"You will listen to what Beatrice has to say, you understand?!" asked Kelos.
"Y-yes," sighed Abigail with a hint of anger while lowering her head.
Beatrice walked towards the traitor while the other clan leaders stood behind her.
"Abigail Clarice. Your crimes against Lynwin are worthy of death! However, that is…against my vows of harming a living being. Therefore, you are to be imprisoned," said Beatrice.
Abigail looked at her with anger in her eyes while the other lady continued, "And no one will ever speak a word to you or show any kindness. You won't have a friend in this world."
"You think you might have won!" replied Abigail, "But you have not seen the taste of my victory!"
"But I don't owe you any kindness," answered Beatrice softly.
Abigail grumbled to herself while the Av-Matoran took her away on a separate airship while Beatrice turned to hug her friends once more as they were all crying with happiness.
"We finally did it," smiled Alex.
"For now it is," nodded Rin, "But we still have to fight though…"
"He's right," said Rei, "The Bolsheviks are still on their way. We have to hurry!"
"We'll stay and fight off the invasion!" replied Atari while Annabelle nodded in agreement.
"Right, but what about the people?" asked Claudia, "Not everyone is gathered or evacuated!"
"The other airships have taken the innocent people out, I made sure of that," said Beatrice, "And as for us…we got unwanted company showing up here. I think it's time that we show them what we really are made of after all this time."
"Please allow me to have some of my men to fight too, if that's alright?" asked Xing.
"I wanna see momo-chan!" said Takuya.
"We do owe him some lovely time," agreed Kazuteru, casuing several of the girls to blush and giggle a little.
"I swear nothing changes here," smirked Denise.
Alex gasped in his mind as his head was already a splitting headache. Rei turned to him, "What's the matter?!"
"Th-they're here…they just got to the western edge of the continent!" gasped Alex.
The others gasped as Atari replied, "My stronger robots are here for combat, I'll send them on their way to their battle positions!"
"I'll get my witches rounded up for the skies!" said Annabelle.
"We still have to evacuate some of the people here though," answered Rin, "Not everyone here is a combatant, right?
"We'll make the arrangements for it," said Beatrice, "But you guys get moving and ready, they'll be here soon."
The team nodded as they rocketed their way up to the skies, preparing for the battle ahead…
