Dan arrived wearing a new black T-shirt and again his blouse with his stethoscope around his neck in front of the Gemn Corp building with 3 Gashatrophy in each hand while Kuroto went down with Aqua and Sakurako. He threw the Gashatrophy to Kuroto, then took out his Bugvisor and used it on Sakurako bringing it back completely and being touched by Kuroto.
"Why did you do it ?" Kuroto asked.
"In this way no one is forced to play your game. I have achieved my share of the market so you know what it means." Dan said.
"Of course, you just have to hope to win." Kuroto said as he went inside the building hesitantly followed by Sakurako. Aqua stood before Dan staring at him with some anger.
"I can't believe I married you." Said Aqua.
"It's the Aqua I know I married. The one who is ready to do anything to help her friends, the one who does not care about the risks she takes to save those dear to her, the one I spent months, even years creating a game to save her. Not the one standing in front of me." Dan said, before bringing up the Gashacon Keyblade. "And I intend to return the true Aqua." He said putting himself in a fighting position.
"Don't you transform?" Aqua asked.
"This time, I will not hide behind a suit." Dan says as Aqua gets into a fighting position as well.
Inside the CR the main screen is on the site Gemn Corp showing live the fight that is preparing with a palpable tension in the room.
"Do you think everything will go as planned?" Miku asked.
"The part of the plan that we thought is already done. It only remains to hope that Dan is well thought of his." Sento answered as Hiiro stared at the screen with more fear than the others.

Back to Dan and Aqua, they began to run up and their Keyblade contacting them carrying them into the hall of the country where Aqua was awarded the title of Mayor of the Keyblade.
"I thought that familiar environments would help you remember who you really are." Dan said.
She was shocked to see that without being transformed, he could transport them to an internship, but focused on the fight. The fight was surprising for Aqua expecting Dan to be as dangerous as facing Ex-Aid and Brave, but that was not the case. He restrains himself and avoids or blocks every shot of Aqua.
"I refuse to hurt you Aqua." Dan says as he blocks the Aqua Keyblade.
"You will be well obliged." She said pushing him away before resuming her assaults. She felt something strange, as if she did not want to hurt him and that little by little unwittingly the strength of his blows diminished.
She continued to fight as Dan dodged each of the blows annoying him more and more as the moment their Keyblade came in contact, he found himself thrown into the darkness on a black sand beach.
"So you decided to take me back to that area you wanted me to leave." Aqua said before a seemingly forceless move, Dan dismissed their Keyblade.
"This area, if I had the choice, I would have accompanied you there. You have been alone inside for years. You realize that in your place, I would have already succumbed and would surely have become worse than when I was Proto Chronus after 2 poor months. You have been strong enough to resist them for years." Dan said.
"And then, you were not there." Aqua said resentfully.
"For you, I would have taken the risk of being trapped for eternity. So that you are not alone. So that the woman I love is not locked in a solitude that would have diverted her from the light. If I'm ready to do such things for you, do I really deserve that you hate me just because I wanted to leave you the choice to become human or remain a Bugster?" Dan says.
Aqua's eyes came back for a second to the blue that Dan knew before turning back to color, gold, and attacking him.
Far away in the arena without anyone noticing Kasumi watched the scene with a satisfied smile on his face.
"He's ready soon." She said before disappearing.
The fight continued with Aqua becoming more uncontrollable in her moves as if she were just trying to win without thinking further. After a while Dan and Aqua, find themselves separated at about ten meters distance.
"It's now or never." Dan said in a low voice before dismissing Gashacon Keyblade's Gashats support and pulled out his Gashat Gear Dual Wizard and inserted it while he was surrounded by a white aura.
Aqua wondered what was happening to him, but did not think and run to attack Dan.
Dual Gashat! Kamiwaza!
Dan will run in turn towards Aqua, but for a moment his eyes went red before bloody red tears ran down his face.
Chikara no Dragon Critical Finish!
Once at a safe distance Aqua trying to stab Dan with his Keyblade, but he dodged and stabbed her in the heart with his own Keyblade gaining a shocked and dying look from the latter. The realm of darkness was flooded with light and looked more like a paradise than a dark and tortured place.
In the CR like all the other places where people watched the live was taken from a dead silence. From what he had just seen, for them, Dan had just killed Aqua the woman who meant the world for him.
Once he pulled out his Keyblade, he took the lifeless body of Aqua in his arms crying all the tears from his body repeating that he was sorry. Tears running down Aqua's face.
Suddenly, Aqua's hair became blue again and his clothes went back to normal color, as if there was not a trace of darkness in them. She then opened her eyes to see Dan still crying not having noticed what was happening. She put a hand on her face making him open her eyes to see her with a confused face on her face.
"Dan... what happened?" Aqua asked before Dan took her in his arms, burying his face in his shoulder weeping for joy.
"It worked. It worked." He repeated, crying with joy.
Aqua looked at Dan without understanding what was going on and just hugged him.
About 30 minutes later Aqua and Dan are in the CR with Dan having regained his composure, but still showing some trace of what he experienced left the RC during the explanations of what happened to Aqua during his brainwashing when she had no recollection of what she did from the moment she was knocked out after seeing Kuroto in the CR.
"Did I really do all this?" Aqua said shocked and saddened.
"Yeah. But again, we are not the ones who have suffered the most." Sento said.
"That is true. Dan is the one who has suffered the most. You should have seen how he was before we got him back to normal." Emu said.
"He was as powerful as he had become bad and implacable. He had killed dozens of players who tried to kill you." Nico said before showing Aqua ripples of the live where the Ride-Player faced Aqua, the Riders and Dan in Proto Cronus and the one where Dan faced Emu and Hiiro.
She could not believe Dan could be so cruel and desperate. Yuki then ran to Aqua and hugged her.
"I'm glad Onee-chan is back to normal." Yuki said, surprising Aqua.
"Yuki and I came across the video." Said Mai making Aqua realize why Yuki called him that.
"I see. So should I call you "Mom" now?" Aqua Plaisanta.
"If you wish." Mai said jokingly at her question.
Later in the night in Dan's apartment, Yuki and Mai left for this walk and went to the amusement park, Dan and Aqua they preferred to stay at the apartment for this one found both. Aqua went to their room to do something that described to Dan as a surprise. Dan, worked on the computer quickly on the Gashats Kingdom Hearts and 0.2 Birth By Sleep A Fragmentary Passage.
"Dan, can you come please?" Aqua asked from the bedroom.
"I'm coming!" He said before launching the installation of the novelties in the Gashats and leaving the room and was surprised to see what happens in the room.
Aqua wearing her white bathrobe visibly with her clothes folded and placed on her dresser nothing below. Aqua dragged Dan, who was frozen in the room before closing the door.
"What are you really prepared for?" Dan asked as in his head, several hypotheses are formed.
"I would like to celebrate our reunion, our "honeymoon", and enjoy the absence of Yuki and Mai to do what married couples do on their honeymoon." Aqua said, putting his arms around Dan's neck and kissing him.
The kiss becomes more passionate and intense and Aqua with the help of Dan took off his coat and his shirt revealing the Wayfinder she made up her pendant. When Aqua felt it, she broke the kiss to see it and was taken with a sad look.
"I would have liked to offer it to you personally." Aqua said putting a hand on Dan's chest.
"I suspect it. Me my Christmas present, it was if you wish, the possibility of becoming human. But I'm also happy to have found it." He said, taking Aqua's hand to hold the Wayfinder. "It's the letter in the package with the Wayfinder that gave me the motivation to become the monster I needed to get the power to save you. When I told you I could be ready for anything, it's not to be taken lightly." Dan said, before kissing Aqua.
The kiss started again becoming even more passionate than before.
In the basement of the Gemn Corp building, G Wiseman let his anger explode by breaking several chairs, table and the arcade bollard inside for Parad when he was still there.
"Well, someone is not happy that the person whose brain he has washed for the beloved has returned to normal." Said the man in a suit with a hat entering the part of the room where G Wiseman is followed by Kasumi.
G Wiseman instantly calmed down and knelt down with his head down.
"My king. Please forgive me, I failed and G Wizard did not become what you wanted." G Wiseman said implored the man's forgiveness.
"Do not worry, you do not need my forgiveness." The man said.
"What do you mean." G Wiseman asked.
"He may not have become so, but you've sped up things and allowed Gemn to access a new power coupled with his hatred of G Wizard. But in addition, you accelerated the awakening of the god." The man said.
"Do you know what that means?" Kasumi said.
"You accelerated the process. And for that, I congratulate you. Hoping that Ikari and Evolto get there so easily." The man said with a smile before disappearing with Kasumi.
