Jake!?" she calls out. "He's alive!? Jake!?"
"Is it you?" she thinks. "Those cold eyes... Doesn't he recognize me!? Could he be under control!? Has he become a tool of the Darkness? ... Has he become a tool of this Maka? He came... to steal the Moon Stone from me!?"
"No!" she shouts. "Look at me! Jake! Jake!?"
"Princess," says Maka, "your prince doesn't exist anymore. I just put the power of the Moon Stone into the dead prince's body. And with the power from Prince Jake, we will resurrect me completely. He has been blessed with the power. He is the Darkness' finest soldier!"
"Dead body!?" Kurai thinks. "Dead!? Impossible. It's impossible!"
Jake and Maka blow up the ceiling of the arcade and form a warp hole. The Maka and Jake are pulled into the black warp. "No matter where it is," she says, "the fight will be the same." A part of her hair whips out and wraps around Kurai's neck.
"I've been waiting a long time for this," Maka says. "Now tell me! The secret of the Moon Stone! It was passed down to the Moon Capital... The legendary Moon Stone."
She tightens her grasp on Kurai. "Where is the infinite power!? Give me the power, for eternal youth, and unequaled strength!"
Kurai moans. "Priestess!" Bella calls.
"I had been waiting, since ancient times," Maka says. "One day I saw an extraordinary meteor shower at dawn. In that disastrous year... A gigantic lump appeared on the sun, from an evil black spot. It shot off and came down with the meteor shower. It was born on Earth. I awakened then."
"I awakened as the goddess Maka. Ever since then, I've been waiting..."
"Let the princess go!" Bella says. "Maka... Maka... I remember... You...! You manipulated the people of Earth. Agitated them. You came to attack the capital on the moon. You did it all so recklessly. You sold your soul to the devil of the Darkness. I remember it clearly... And then, what you did... To the princess, and Prince Jake..."
Kaguya screams as the blade cuts through Jake.
Bella grabs her sword and swings it at Maka, slicing through her chest. "And you've been reincarnated in this age..."
"That annoying Queen banished me to the bottom of the earth," says Maka.
"You don't have to become a demon!" Bella says.
"But, I will become supreme in this universe. Then, we can rule again! Ha ha! We have the Moon Stone and the princess now. We need wait no longer for the revival of the growing leader. I, Maka, will rule all. I'll be the true queen, with my new companion, Prince Jake!"
"No..." Kurai cries. The hair holds tight around her neck. "No! Jake!"
Bella and Alice try to cut the hair strangling Kurai. They both try to lift the heavy sword. They fail. Then try again and cut the hair but Kurai is still entangles.
"The moon!" calls Bella. "Our capital." She raises the sword high. "With the strength of my old life!"
"Jake!" Kurai cries. "Jake! I'll win you back!"
The crystal begins to glow in his hand.
Bella clutches the sword and charges.
The sword pierces Maka through the stomach and begins to glow. She screams as blood flows out of her wound.
"The sword!?" Bella thinks. "That light..." "I finally had you..." thinks Maka. "Prince Jake..."
Maka remembers being young, and watching from afar as Jake and Kaguya embrace.
"I've always been watching you." Her face contorts, her body begins to disintegrate. "Always." Maka's tiara drops to the floor.
Bella stares at the glowing sword. She reads the words on the sword. "'When the sword glows... the priestess will be the High Priestess. The spirit of the Moon Stone will appear. It will become complete. It will become great. The power of the Moon will awaken. Give a prayer. Pray that the Moon will have peace again...'" Bella collapses, and Jake rushes and grabs her and enters the black portal with her and the sword. Kurai is also taken into the portal hole. Just as the others chase after to save Kurai and Bella, the portal closes.
The soldiers learn that Kurai, Jake, and Bella have been transported to the Arctic. They also transport there. All find a castle. Kurai has followed Jake all the way there.
Torches light the walls of the castle. "Where is this...? Dark... And so cold..." Kurai thinks.
"So you followed all this way."
Kurai looks up and sees Jake standing over her.
Bella lies unconscious on the floor beside him, next to the sword.
He slowly walks toward Kurai.
"Jake..." she says. "Jake... It's me. Kaguya."
He holds up the Moon Stone. Its light glows on his face, shining on his white eyes. The crystal fades away. He touches his hands to her face. He leans his head close to hers. He grabs Kurai by the neck and lifts her in the air. Kurai screams. He glares at her, his eyes black. He holds up the crystal.
"Tell me! If this is the Moon Stone, why does it give out no power? Besides this tiny piece and that sword, is there another Moon Stone with more power!?"
"No-..." says Kurai, as his grip tightens around her neck.
"What is this great power of the Priestess!? Is it power carried by another Moon Stone!? Where is that!?"
"This can't be..." thinks Kurai. "This person, doing this..."
She reaches for the crystal in his hand. As she touches it, a blinding light flashes from it, knocking her back onto the floor.
Now Alice, Rosalie, and Leah appear. "Kurai! Bella!", they yell.
A dark, gaseous entity appears from all around him. "Carrier of the blood of the Moon Capital," it says. "So you've come this far, to this closed empire of the Darkness. You have killed my beloved. I am Makaijyu, and poor Maka is healing inside my body. I am the Jyu part of her. Maka and I are one."
The girls step back. "Is this Maka and Jyu's true form? Makaijyu? Our ultimate enemy!?"
Jake thrusts his arm forward, and the girls are blown against the wall. Leah appears before them, and blocks his attack.
"Kurai!" Leah says. "His being this strong is due to the power of the Moon Stone taken in by his body."
Bella sits up, holding the sword.
"Listen carefully," says Alice. "What is written on the sword is the method for the seal. To seal away that demon, Makaijyu, the complete form of the Moon Stone is necessary. Using the power of Kurai's spirit, take the contents of the Moon Stone absorbed into him before, and return it to inside the crystal! That will be the complete form. Then, using that as a switch, open the power! You must seal away Makaijyu and vanquish it! That time has come, Makaijyu!"
"Power, you say?" says Makaijyu. "The infinite power of the Moon Stone? Where is it!? The source of the power! Give it to me!"
"It is the power to bury you, Makaijyu!" says Rosalie.
"Thoughtless, weak, know-nothing priestess. Are you the one who can seal me away? Heh heh... Your corpse will lie eternally in the Darkness."
Alice as she draws her arms together to attack.
"Alice!" yells Kurai.
The attack is drawn into the darkness.
"Heh heh..." says Makaijyu. "More, more energy!"
"It didn't work!?" says Alice. "That's...!?"
"What can we do!" says Leah. "We don't have a chance like this. How can we even attack Jake...!"
"He's being reborn now as another personality!" says Bella. "He's the same as Makaijyu! We have to get him back!"
She brings her arms together over her head and power pools in her fingertips.
"Bella, no!" calls Kurai.
The attack shoots at Jake.
He raises his hand and the attack dissipates. Bella is knocked back onto the floor.
"Bella!" calls Kurai. She holds up her sword. Power blasts at Jake, surrounding him.
He grips the crystal before his black eyes. "It's useless," he says. "You cannot beat me."
"Whatever I do," thinks Kurai, "he won't return to his old self!? I have to defeat Makaijyu. But to do that, I have to take out the power of the Moon Stone from inside him..."
"It seems the power was absorbed by the dead prince's body," said Makaijyu, "but he never awakened. It's futile. The prince was resurrected with my power!"
"Is he a different person now!? Can I do nothing but defeat him!? Kill him...?" She starts to cry. "No... No!" As she holds her head, supersonic waves form from her two balls of hair. The waves shake Jake as he holds the crystal. A ball of light emerges from his body, and floats into the crystal.
"Jake and the Moon Stone," says Alice, "are reflecting the chaos in Kurai-chan's heart, and resonating...!"
"Kurai's heart..." says Leah, "is controlling the power of the Moon Stone?"
Kurai looks at Jake. He stares back at her, his hands glowing. Power blasts at her and the others, knocking them back.
"Queen..." thinks Kurai. "Tell me... I can't do it..."
"There is no one but you who can do it!" said the queen. "Please, take pride and self-confidence in being the princess and the soldier of justice, Chaos."
Kurai stands up. "I can't stand to see him like this...Is there nothing I can do but this?" She picks up the sword. "Is this... our destiny having been reborn?" She lunges at Jake. She swings the sword across his chest. Blood sprays as he reaches his hand out. He holds her head close to his. He looks at her with white eyes. They close their eyes, and kiss deeply.
"Jake..."
Kurai holds out the sword, and plunges it into her own chest.
"Jake... I love you. You are the first and only one I've fallen in love with. Even if we are reborn, I will surely meet you again. We will surely fall in love again."
The others look on in horror at Kurai, as she falls past Jake.
"Jake... We will cross time, and be reborn... And next time... We will be happy... Jake..."
"Priestess!" calls Bella. "Oh no..." Her eyes water. "We were not reborn to live this moment again...! Is this our unavoidable destiny?"
Kurai and Jake collapse on the ground. The sword hits the floor with a clang.
"Noooo!" shouts Bella. "Are we only repeating our former lives?"
