Author's Note: Hello, Dreamers! This is it! The start of the two-part finale of Dawn of the New Multiverse! I'm nervous right now because this will be the first time I've ever started fanfic, and actually seen it through to the end! About 10-15 chapters ago, I started doubting, saying, "There's so much left! Am I gonna finish this?" But now that I'm here, yes! I've always had a problem with rushing stuff along, to get to the 'good stuff,' like the most important ideas in my mind, so I have to pace myself and remember not to go too far ahead. I was able to wait, and now I'm here! So, this chapter will be the final fight in Haventown, with everyone Lily met along the way joining! At the end of every book, the final team will get bigger and bigger. So, with that long note out of the way, enjoy!

It was time. Time for the final battle. If they won, it would mean. being one step closer to a total victory in the future, but if they lost, everything would end. They had to protect Lily, they had to protect the Etherial Gem, but most of all...

They had to protect the Heart.

Lilith marched into battle with Dire at her side, Aurora wielded her Saber of Sol, Corrin had his dragon stone, and Coletta, along with Cadenza, had their overwhelming powers. Even Rosie joined in, with her blue light power Aurora had gifted her.

Before the battle started, Dire had something to ask Lilith. He took her aside and asked her. "Lilith, I don't want to upset you, but..." Dire took a deep breath. "Look. There's probably going to be casualties in this battle, and if there are, and if I'm one of them, I want to ask you something.

"Go ahead, I'm listening," Lilith said.

"Lilith if anything happens to me in this battle, will you continue my search for my sister? Even if you don't find her, I would like to give you this." Dire pulled a ring made of unmeltable ice out of his pocket. It had the symbol of a snowflake on it. "This is the Frosterian Royal Family's signet ring I was given when I was crowned prince. Will you wear it, and restore my kingdom, no, our kingdom, in my place, if I perish?" Dire asked.

Lilith was shocked. Is he asking me to become a queen? Yes! Lilith thought, then quickly rethought, No, wait, that's bad! If I have to use the ring to become queen, that would mean Dire died!

Lilith didn't know what to say. "Dire... There's no way I would ever let you die, but... I'll take it, anyway...

"Excellent. Hold out your hand." Dire said, gently.

Lilith held out her hand, and Dire put the ring on her finger. "So, does this mean I'm your princess now?" Lilith asked, on cloud 9.

Dire nodded. "This ring will also give you power. Since you don't come from the ice kingdom itself, you don't have access to its full might, but with your Astral powers mixed with the ice powers, you'll be a pretty formidable opponent." Dire said.

"Dire... C'mere." Lilith said. She pulled Dire into a hug.

"I promise I won't let anything happen to you, Dire..." Lilith said.

The hug lasted until Corrin broke in. "I hate to ruin the moment, but the villains are approaching!"

The sound of a mob of Nightdreamers approaching was heard from outside. The Daydreamer army ran outside to face the villains.

"DAYDREAMERS!" Aurora shouted, readying the characters.

"NIGHTDREAMERS!" Morgana shouted, readying the Nightdreamers.

"ATTACK!" Both women shouted at once, and the two armies clashed. Fictional weapons of all kinds were being swung through the air left and right, in a fight like no other. One of Dio's zombies went running at Dire, Nightdreamer sword drawn, ready to run him through.

"DIRE!" Lilith ran and jumped in front of him, conjuring a shield made of ice. The zombie tried to swing again at her, so she conjured a sword of ice. It was a traditional sword fight, an astral maiden against a zombie, with Lilith delivering the finishing blow.

Thank you, Lilith. I owe you my life, now." Dire said.

Lilith just turned away. She didn't want Dire putting his life on the line for her...

Meanwhile, Rosie was using surprising agility to dispatch a group of zombies with her blue light powers.

They fought and fought, but the Nightdreamers wouldn't stop appearing.

Aurora waved for Coletta to meet her. "Coletta, what should we do? They're not letting up!"

Coletta took her locket off. "What I should've done at the start of this stupid battle!" She held her locket high in the air. "POWER OF THE TEN GUARDIANS!" Coletta unleashed the full power of her locket. The entire nightdreamer army, including Megan, Dio, and Morgana, was engulfed by the intense, radiant pink light.

The Daydreamers stopped fighting, thinking the battle had been swiftly won.

Boy, were they wrong.

Morgana had used all of her strength to seal herself within the Nightdreamer gem, just like Alessia had done. By doing that, she created a shield for her army and had given Megan more power than ever.

"No... My Author's gift did nothing..." Coletta said, before collapsing to her knees in shock.

Cadenza looked at Coletta, in horror. Cool, collected, and poised Coletta, reduced to this?

"Do you really think you can defeat the Nightdreamers with that puny power?" Megan said. Morgana was now channeling her own spirit within Megan. She turned to the Nightdreamer army. "Now, go to Fallingstar, where that insufferable princess and her new friends are, and destroy them!" Megan said.

A group of Nightdreamers complied, and diss appeared to Fallingstar.

"NO!" Aurora shouted. She dropped to her knees in desperation. "Alessandra, if you can hear me, please grant Lily her full power early, just so she can protect herself and her friends!" Nothing happened. "PLEASE!" Aurora screamed, feeling defeated.

Your wish is my command. Aurora's spirit said from afar.

Tears streaming down her face, Aurora looked up at the sky. "Thank you, Alessia..."

Meanwhile, Lily and Alice were at the Fallingstar house hanging out with their new friends. Lily, however, was worried about home.

"Hey, Lil. Are you doing ok?" Flint Lockwood asked.

"Yeah, I'm ok, but I wish I was old enough to fight evil at home..." Just as Lily said it, her staff appeared before her. "What? Why is my staff here?"

I've decided to grant you your fighting powers early.

"Mother? Is that you talking?" Lily asked.

Yes, it is I. Now, grab the staff, Lily! Danger is approaching!

Lily grasped the staff in her hand. She turned around and held it up. All of a sudden, a monster burst through the door and ran towards the group!

"STAY BACK!" Lily shouted. A pink blast of light burst from her staff and hit her enemy. It disappeared with a poof of pink smoke.

"Wow. I guess it purifies them then sends them to Paragon Etheria?" Lily asked.

Suddenly, more monsters burst in. Lily poofed them away left and right. "Cmon, guys! I need some help!" So everyone, including Dubois pitched in to help fight the zombies! Everything was going great until Megan appeared.

"Cousin Megan..." Lily said.

"Cousin Lily. Perfect little cousin Lily." Megan said.

"Megan, please. Come with us. Fight the Nightdreamers! We need you!" Lily said.

Megan looked at Lily coldly. "You will never convince me to join you." She fired a blast of darkness at Lily.

Lily conjured up a shield and blocked it.

The two girls fired energy at each other, dark against light.

Meanwhile, back in Haventown, the Daydreamers were back to winning the battle since Megan was in Fallingstar fighting Lily

Lilith was gracefully fighting enemies using a fan made out of pure ice. It was a mesmerizing but deadly dance.

After the small group of enemies she was fighting had been dispatched, she and Dire met up again. "These power are amazing!" Lilith said.

"I know, but even without them, even if you had no Astral Dragon form, you still would be amazing," Dire said.

Dire, I'm looking forward to spending forever with you." She said.

"Me too, my love," Dire said.

Dio heard this statement and decided to intervene, of course.

Morgana had granted the Nightdreamers purple powers, just as Aurora granted the Daydreamers blue ones.

"How very touching..." Dio said, grinning evilly. He fired a dark blast at Dire.

Dire didn't see it coming. Lilith jumped in front of him, taking the blast for him. She fell to the ground.

Sound blurred around Dire as he stared at Lilith on the ground. He immediately dropped to his knees and took her in his arms. "Lilith... Please..." No answer. He shook her. "LILITH!" No... This. Can't. Happen. Dire thought, pain, and rage in his eyes. He checked her gem. Not a crack in sight. Good. He checked her pulse. She still had a pulse, she was just knocked out cold by the blast.

Even though he wanted to kill Dio, he didn't want to leave Lilith alone like this. Aurora knew immediately what was happening, and came over. "I'll stay by her side," Aurora said.

So Dire went to face Dio. "Are all of you Nightdreamers stupid? When you attacked Lilith earlier, I told you you would die if you hurt her again." Dire's body began to glow with power. "I'm not holding back this time."

"You're pretty bold if you want to fight Dio!" Dio said.

"Prepare yourself. This is the Thunder Cross Split Attack! No fighter has ever escaped it!" Dire shouted. He got ready to attack when Dio grabbed him and stopped him!

"You're so insolent!" Thinking you can defeat ME!" Dio started turning Dire into ice! He was weaker to the ice powers because Lilith had his ring!

Aurora was cradling Lilith in her arms when she came to and saw Dire being frozen. "Dire..." Lilith said. She tried to get up, but it was hard.

"Lilith, you're hurt! Please don't try to move!" Aurora said.

Dio was about to do the unthinkable. He prepared to shatter Dire's body into a million frozen pieces!

"DIRE!" Lilith screamed as loud as she could. She willed herself to move. "NOOOOOO!" Lilith lunged at Dio with all of her strength, knocking him down. Dire's body fell to the ground but didn't shatter, because the ice was stronger than normal.

Lilith went over to Dire and untoward him with her powers. With the ring, she could also unthaw people and things that had been turned to ice, without hurting the person. She unthawed Dire, and they embraced. "I thought you were dead!" Lilith said.

"Me too!" Dire said, hugging Lilith.

Dio, who had regained his composure stood back up. He aimed a knife at Lilith. It came racing towards her gem, ready to end everything.

Dire jumped in front.

The knife was caught in his stomach, and he collapsed.

At that moment, Lilith's world came to a screeching halt. She dropped to her knees, trying to save Dire. She tried everything to stop the bleeding. "Dire, nononono, please, don't leave me... Don't go!" Lilith said, tears beginning to form.

"Lilith. I told you I owe you my life... I told you I would protect you, and I did, to the bitter end." Dire was fading in Lilith's arms.

"I don't want you to go! You promised we would go back to the Astral realm together! YOU PROMISED!" Lilith cried.

"Sometimes things don't work out like you want them to. But that will never, ever change how much I love you, my astral maiden. Even though we've only known each other a short time, I've never felt this way for anyone else, the way I feel for you."

"Dire... I- I thought we would be together forever..." Lilith said. She held his hand tighter, never, ever wanting to let go.

"I can see the light... I can see it." Dire was dying, and there was nothing Lilith could do about it...

"No. don't go. You just can't..." Lilith said, her voice cracking.

Dire used the last of his strength to wipe Lilith's tears from her face. "Years from now, you'll be looking towards this same light. "You'll see me, and we'll be together for all eternity, and nothing will ever separate us again..." Dire said. His eyes slowly closed, and he lay still...

Too still.

Lilith lost it. "DIRE! NOOOOO!" She buried her face into his chest and cried like she had never cried before.

Even cool, collected, calm, and stoic Coletta shed a tear. Aurora looked at the sight in front of her, shaking her head in disbelief.

Cadenza tried to touch Lilith's arm to comfort her. "PLEASE LEAVE ME!" Lilith shouted. Cadenza jumped back, startled by sweet Lilith's harsh tone.

Lilith began singing the melody to 'Here Beside Me,' the same song she sang to Dire when she first told him she was in love with him.

She didn't know what to do.

Her knight was gone.

Her Dire died protecting her.

Lilith stopped humming and looked up. She stared at Dio, who was standing there, staring at the sight, grinning.

Grinning. He was grinning After he had just murdered her love right in front of her eyes.

A new feeling filled Lilith. More than one, actually. Revenge, Fury, and hatred. She would never forgive Dio. Lilith stood up and walked towards him, ready to end his reign of terror.

To be concluded…

Author's note: I can't believe I did it... I've procrastinated about writing this scene for months now because I didn't want to break Lilith's heart, but I did it. I wanted to stay as true to the JoJo anime as I could, so that's how I did it. Wow, that was... darker than expected. I purposely sent Lily to a safer place for this scene so I could make it more heart-wrenching without exposing someone as young as her to such a violent scene. So, the big finale is in the next chapter! The final battle of book one will take place! So, I'll see you in the next chapter! Stay Lucid!
