We ended up... or more accurately speaking, I ended up somewhere in the clouds. Everywhere I looked, there was nothing but the sky and the clouds. Whether I was looking in front of me, left, right, behind, above or below me, there was no ground at all. I supposed this would explain why I wasn't falling, but that would only make sense in the mind of a child. So this place is a child's idea of what a world without gravity is like? As I kept speculating about this, Daizyujin suddenly appeared before me. And I don't mean a giant man suddenly popped up, Daizyujin had shrunk himself down to my size. Either that, or I had grown to his size. Either way, I guess it's easier for both of us if we talked at the same level.

"Where are we?" I asked him.

"More important than where, is why." Daizyujin replied.

"Er... very well." I replied, confused, "Why are we here?"

"What were you doing back there?" he asked.

This was rude, I thought to myself, so I said: "I asked first."

"This is no time for juvenile disputes." Daizyujin replied, "I ask again, what were you doing?"

Hoping that he would answer my question eventually, I answered his first: "I was helping you."

"Were you?" he questioned, "You didn't jump when you were told to. You involved someone in this battle who shouldn't be. You..."

"You mean Potter?" I interrupted, "I didn't ask him to join in."

"And you didn't have a protective suit!" was his final point.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, surprised, "I got the Faiz-suit."

"That is not what I meant." Daizyujin said, "Magiel granted you the power over magic, didn't she?"

"Yeah, and some power that turned out to be." I retorted, "It doesn't do anything."

"We told you, the more courage you show, the more magic you receive." Daizyujin explained, "I'd have thought by now you'd have been granted the power to summon an armor. But now I see you have to use somebody else's."

"That's a big assumption." I replied, "Besides, Potter didn't need one."

"Don't change the subject!" Daizyujin interrupted, "We thought you deserved the power, because of the courage you showed in facing God and the Devil."

Unless I'm mistaking, I was already dead at the time. It was easier to show courage when you know you can't die anymore.

"You leave us with no choice..." Daizyujin said, "... but to take the magic away from you."

I suppose I should be devastated, but I wasn't. Not because I'm arrogant enough to think I could live without magic, but because I never quite figured out how to use magic anyway. I know I had said before that my magic made me a valuable asset to SGS, but at the time I thought some of the things I did were magical. By now I know it was something else (something having to do with my "chi" which gets unleashed through my use of Jyuken, or something like that). In other words, I never really did use magic. At least none of the one that Magiel had granted me, so I don't think I'd notice a difference if it was gone.

"If I give it up, will you then explain to me what this place is?" I asked.

Daizyujin made this gesture as though he sighed, but explained anyway: "We're inside your head."

This I didn't understand: "Inside my head?"

"There was no time to fully brief you on this." he continued, "The only way I could think of to stop Cthulhu, was to throw him into the sun."

"But... didn't you say that..." I started, but got interrupted.

"My mind would enter your body." he continued, "All six of you. Counting Potter, that made seven. So I'd be inside you, all of us leaving my body, which is now flying towards the sun, along with Cthulhu."

"Instantly killing him, without any hope for survival." I replied.

"Correct." Daizyujin said, "With no other living thing around, he couldn't hope to enter another body."

"Not even yours?" I questioned.

"Mine wasn't organic." Daizyujin replied, "He might have found a way to enter my body, but it would have been too late before he does."

"That was a big gamble." I replied, "I mean, you were mistaken about me."

"Only because you humans tend to be unpredictable." he explained, "Gods, on the other hand, aren't."

That made sense, so I merely nodded.

"By now, Cthulhu should have reached the sun already." Daizyujin continued, "The Zyurangers will return to heaven, while you will wake up in your own bed."
