"Don't assume your dreams are just fantasy. If you can imagine a world, believe in it. And dive in."
Two stars were shining, but they were actually two keyblades falling from the sky and landed on the roof flooring.
Fantasia: (Weak) How could you? (Took a knee and panting)
Operetta: (Weak) Why are you doing this? (On both of her knees and panting)
Arsene: (Took their keyblades and destroys them with Eiga) Sorry ladies, but I just don't lose.
Fantasia and Operetta were shocked and surprised that their keyblades were destroyed by the hands of the gentleman thief.
Fantasia was growling very angrily, while Operetta was in tears that their keyblades were destroyed.
Caroline: (Off-Screen) Thank you, Arsene. We'll take it from here.
Justine: (Off-Screen) It is time to bring back the queen and you two are going to help us.
Fantasia: (Shocked and gasped) You!
Operetta: Oh my goodness, it's you again.
(Meanwhile back with the girls)
[Nightfall City - Hotel Lune - Rooftop]
The Nightfall Trio and the Superhero Girls went back to the hotel, as they came back from their battle and into their regular clothes.
Aria: All right, not only did we save the fair, but my comic "Monkey Girl" has been officially been declared the winner of the contest.
Nocturne: I'm very proud of you, Aria. I see that you changed "Hanuman Girl" to "Monkey Queen" to "Monkey Girl".
Aria: Thanks, I hope that it will beat the "Bats Vs. Clowns" series.
Babs: Oh really, then when we get back, you and me are heading to your room to read your comic to see if it's good.
Aria: You're on, Batgirl! (Winks at Babs)
Serenade: (Sees the penthouse) Girls, we're almost home. Let's tell our moms that our sisters are here and thank them for restoring her.
Nocturne opened the penthouse door and as she looked around, they noticed that the two mothers were gone missing.
Nocturne: Mom? Mommy? We're home!
Karen: Okay, can someone tell me where are Nocturne's parents at?
Kara: I don't know, but something tells me that something's going on around here.
Jessica: (Sees something odd outside) Uh guys, you might want to take a look outside.
The girls went outside and saw that there were a lot of scratches on the floor and there was some burnt areas.
Serenade: Oh. My. God. What the heck just happened here?! Did our moms get into a fight or something?!
Diana: That's impossible, your mothers would never fight against each other.
Aria: Diana's right, right when my memories were restored, I just saw the two of them when I came out of the chrysalis and when I left, I also saw them- (Got interrupted)
Babs: You saw them?! What did they do?!
Zee: (Sees a note) I think I know why. (Picks up the note) Nocturne, I believe that they want you to read this.
Nocturne: Thanks Zee. (Takes the note) I wonder what it says. (Reads the note) Let's see here.
(The Note)
"Dear Nocturne, if you're reading this note, then that means we're gone. The reason why is that Arsene person that you've met the other night, he's a gentlemen thief. Me and Operetta have spotted him after we've recovered Aria and now that we're in a dire situation, you'll need to rescue the both of us. We were trying to stop him from taking you back to the Metaverse, but we've failed our task to protect you and now, you'll have to rescue us in the Velvet Room. Love, Fantasia."
Nocturne: Oh no...Arsene got both of my mothers into a place called "The Velvet Room".
Aria: Velvet room? What's that, a place that has a lot of fabric to make dresses and curtains in?
Serenade: Is it a room that has velvet-like colors that you have to do any art that requires those colors?
Nocturne: No, girls. (Thinking) You know, I don't even know what the Velvet Room is either.
A blue glow appeared flashing inside the Room Between as the Superhero Girls and Nightfall Sisters noticed from a distance.
Zee: What's going on at the Room Between?
Nocturne: I don't know, but we're going to find out right now.
The door to the Room Between opened as a girl came out of the room and into the living room where the other girls are at.
Lavenza: Which one of you is Nocturne?
Nocturne: (Raised her hand) That would be me, who's asking?
Lavenza: Nocturne, I see that your two mothers are safe with me for the time being.
Nocturne: Thank goodness, but why are you telling me this right now?
Lavenza: It's because you will need to head back to the Velvet Room, I will be expecting you in a few minutes.
Serenade: Velvet Room? What do you mean by that? Is it a place where thieves gather around to hang out?
Nocturne: I have no idea what the Velvet Room looks like, maybe it's like a sanctuary, I guess?
Aria: This Velvet Room, it's like a secret headquarters for superheroes like us?
Lavenza: You'll find out momentarily, until then, Nocturne must make the choice of going or not.
Zee: So if we need to save Nocturne's moms, we need to get to the Velvet Room ASAP?
Lavenza: Yes. Nocturne, head on over to the Room Between for your arrival and make your choice! (Went to the Room Between to await Nocturne's decision)
Jessica: Nocturne, what are you going to do?
Babs: This is just like when Batman had to make a choice between catching the villain or save the citizens! But Nocturne has a choice whenever she saves her moms or not!
Nocturne: (Made up her mind) Alright, I think it's time for all of us to head in the Velvet Room to save my moms!
Aria: All right, let's go save Nocturne's mommies! See you on the flip side! (Went towards the Room Between)
Babs: That's the ticket, Nocturne! Now, let's head on over to the Room Between and save the day! Come on! (Ran towards the door to the Room Between)
Diana: Hold on, Babs! We might not know if this is a trap! (Ran after Babs)
Kara: Well, looks like last one in the room is a loser for life! (Ran towards the Room Between)
Jessica: For goodness sake, Kara. Wait for Nocturne to get ready first. (Ran after Kara)
Karen: I'm going to leave you to it, Nocturne. Me and Serenade will wait for you. (Went with Serenade to the Room Between)
Serenade: Zee, we'll save Nocturne's moms. I promise everything will be alright. (Went after Karen)
Zee: So, what are you going to do?
Nocturne: (Knows her answer) I'll go rescue my moms! Come on, my princess. (Grabs Zee's hand softly, while walking)
Zee: That's the spirit, Nocturne. Come on, the girls are waiting for us. (Followed Nocturne to the Room Between)
Every girl went to the Room Between to tell Lavenza about their decision.
(The Room Between)
Lavenza were standing in front of a visible like cell door, waiting for the girls to arrive.
Lavenza: (Sees the girls) They're here and now for her decision.
Nocturne and the girls approached in front of the girl, as Nocturne took a deep breath and prepared her answer.
Nocturne: Lavenza, I've made up my mind.
Lavenza: Alright then, what's your answer? Will you save them or leave them into nothingness?
Nocturne: I want to save my mothers from their prison!
Lavenza: Fine choice then. Ladies, come with me to the Velvet Room.
The girls took the girl's advice and head on over to the Velvet Room beyond through the cell door.
[The Velvet Room - Prison]
Lavenza was the first one in, got in her position between the two guillotines next to her.
The girls noticed that the room that they're in was actually a round prison with no way out of here, except the way they came in.
Lavenza: Now that everyone's here and acquainted for, it is time to reveal them why they are truly here.
Lavenza snapped her fingers and revealed from the two cell doors across from each other has opened and both Nocturne's parents arrived from each other.
Fantasia/Operetta: Nocturne! (Ran towards Nocturne for a big hug)
Nocturne: (To Fantasia) Oh, Mother! (Hugs her and looks at Operetta) Mom! (Hugs Operetta)
Zee: (Crying for a bit and wiped her tears with a tissue from her purse) This is such a beautiful moment.
Karen: (Giggling) It looks like one heck of a reunion for Nocturne and her two mothers in this room.
Lavenza: It is quite touching for her to be back with her family. (Giggling)
Fantasia: Nocturne...I'm very sorry if me and Operetta weren't here for you, when the Heartless came.
Operetta: It's true, when we're about to see you, Arsene got the best of us and defeated us.
Nocturne: Arsene did this to you? (Realized something) I think I know why, it's because Arsene wants me to comeback as their "Queen".
Fantasia: So, it is true. Well I guess there's only one thing left to do. Operetta, should we do it?
Operetta: I think we should. (Turns to Lavenza) Lavenza, we're ready for our "execution".
The Superhero Girls and The Nightfall Trio had gasped in surprise and shock, when they heard about this.
Aria: Executed?! You can't be serious right, I mean you two dead by a private public execution that's in front of us?
Operetta: I'm afraid this is the very course of action that we need to perform and it's the very last one of our duties.
Diana: Duties? As in your specific roles of protecting Nocturne? That is so noble and brave of you two.
Fantasia: Of course, dear Princess of the Amazons. This is our last and final one to protect our loved one.
Jessica was covering her mouth and holding her tears back, while Kara clenched her fists as her eyes were closed as she was guilty and her teeth were grinding.
Babs: Oh my goodness, this has turned from dramatic to brutality. Seeing Nocturne's two moms become mincemeat.
Serenade was about to start crying in tears and Nocturne was about to deny the fact that their moms were about to die.
Nocturne: No...No...I won't let you go! (Hugs her two mothers tighter)
Fantasia: (Whispers) It's time to go to sleep, Nocturne. It will all be over soon. (She then cast a sleeping spell in her hear)
Nocturne starts to get drowsy and then passes out unconsciously, she was out like a candle.
(A few minutes of sleeping later)
Nocturne: (Wakes up from her sleep and realizes that she's in an electric chair) Huh? What the?!
Operetta: Sorry Nocturne, but it's for the best. (Being wrapped up by the cloth)
Fantasia: Ladies, take care of the Nightfall Sisters and remember, the remaining sisters are still out there. But remember, I still love you.
Operetta: And so do I. This is goodbye, my sweet little songbird. (Being wrapped in cloth by Lavenza)
Fantasia: Nocturne, I guess this is farewell. Zee, take care of my little dragon for me. (Being wrapped in cloth by Lavenza)
Zee: (Nodded her head, while cleaning her tears) I promise I'll take good care of her. (Thoughts) And maybe bring back the rest of her memories as well.
Lavenza: All right, now it is time to bring these two mothers reunite with their queen.
The two guillotine blades were rising and while their rising, Nocturne was trying to get out of the electric chair.
Nocturne: (Trying to break free from the chair restraints) Come on, come on! (Got one restraint loose and used her free hand to free the other restraints) Got it!
Nocturne ran as fast as she could to stop the blades from falling, but it was too late with a snap of a finger. Lavenza's fingers to be exact.
The two blades fell on the bottom and the mothers were "executed". Black bats came out of Fantasia and white bats came out of Operetta.
Nocturne: (Starts to cry a little) No...Mom...Mommy. (Crying starts to intensify) No...No...No! (Crying at full capacity) NO! NO! NO!
Karen: Oh my, seeing an execution for the first time. It's scary, I don't think I would sleep in a while.
Aria: This is so messed up, I think I'm going to hurl! (Felt like she's going to hurl) Oh no! (Ran to the toilet in one of the cells)
Serenade: It has to be some sort of joke. Right? I mean that can't be our moms and they're back at the penthouse. (Laughing awkwardly) Right?
Lavenza: This is no joke, they're gone. Which means the process is officially completed. They're "executed".
Nocturne was crying like a baby when her two mothers were dead by the guillotines that took their lives.
Nocturne: (Crying) Why? (Sniffling) Why did it have to be this way?! I came to rescue you two, but instead you chose to end your lives?!
Zee: (Went to Nocturne) Nocturne. (Sighs) Before they were executed, Fantasia told me to look after you.
Nocturne: My mom. (Crying softly) Told you to look after me? (Sniffs) Thanks, Zee. You do know how to make a girl feel better.
The black and white bats have merged together into a magical sphere of light and dark and went to Nocturne as she noticed this as well.
Nocturne: (Stops crying for a bit) Huh? What's this strange power that I'm sensing and feeling?
Voice Of Fantasia: Nocturne...It's me, your mother. Me and Operetta are all right.
Voice Of Operetta: It's okay, my dear child. Your mommy dearest is still here, just not in our physical form.
Nocturne: (Tears flowing from her eyes) Why did you tell Lavenza to give you two the chop?
Voice Of Operetta: Because me and Fantasia had a little bargain with Lavenza and Arsene.
Nocturne: (Shocked) What? What do you mean by when you made a bargain with those two?!
Voices Of Fantasia and Operetta: Nocturne, it's time we show you. Our true selves! (Sphere went inside of Nocturne's heart)
Nocturne: (Felt this amazing power within her) Huh? Wait, is this it? The power within me that I didn't even exist?!
Zee: Hold on. I think I sense something within your heart, it's waiting to be released by you and only you!
Karen: You mean, there's another being inside Nocturne right now?! What are we going to do, girls?!
Diana: Fear not, young Karen. Sister Nocturne will find a way to solve her problem. (With doubt) I hope.
Kara: Yeah, like she's going to need to solve her problem. How about I rip out her heart and take out the person inside her as well?
Jessica: Kara! Nocturne would die by your own hand, if you try to rip her heart out!
Babs: That would mean signing her own certificate and not the good kind, when you get you finish high school.
Nocturne: The girls are right, Kara. This is a power that I need to handle on my own and I don't want all of you to be in on this.
Aria: Okay sis, if you say so. But please for the love of all things high and mighty, don't lose your life.
Serenade: I'm with you all the way, Nocturne. Don't you die on me or the girls.
Nocturne: No problem, Serenade. (Focuses on her newfound power) This power...I know this power from before, but what is it?
Nocturne closed her eyes and tried to remember what her new power is through her memories and when she opened her eyes, she was in a different place.
[Nocturne's Station Of Awakening]
Nocturne: This place...I've been here before. But when? (Tries to remember) Maybe I've been here when I was younger.
Voice Of Young Nocturne: That's right. This place right here is where you first awakened to your powers a long time ago.
Nocturne: Huh? Who said that?
A bright light appeared right in front of Nocturne as she noticed a familiar face.
Young Nocturne: Do you remember who you really are?
Nocturne: You're me. But I'm me.
Young Nocturne: I know, but are you really yourself? Or in fact, even a human at all?!
Nocturne: What are you talking about?! I am myself! The real question is who are you?!
Young Nocturne: If you want your answer, then head on over to Mementos to find out. (Vanished in a flash)
Nocturne: (Growling) Fine, I'll play your game in Mementos. (Closes her eyes and went back to the Velvet Room)
Lavenza: I see that you're back, so what happened?
Nocturne: I'm going to have to deal with this matter in Mementos.
Serenade: Hold on, Nocturne. Don't we have school tomorrow?
Nocturne: Oh. Then we'll settle this after school and when I do, I'll finally know who I really am!
Diana: All right, sisters. Let's head back home. We need to let Nocturne handle her own journey.
The Superhero Girls went back to their world through a cell that has a World Gate inside, except for Zee, when she's worried about Nocturne.
Zee: Nocturne, be careful. (Hugs her and kisses her on the cheek, then she went back home to her world)
Serenade: Well, I'm going to bed. Goodnight, Nocturne. (Went back to the house, via World Gate)
Aria: Hold on, Serenade. I'm coming too. (Followed Serenade back home)
Nocturne: (Sigh) What could my younger self be saying?! No matter, this battle is about to begin tomorrow.
(Timeskip - Morning) (Monday)
[Nightfall City - Nightfall Academy - Nocturne's Classroom]
Principal: Good morning, Class. I heard that due to an accident, Miss Fleur has passed away. But we have a new teacher for you all.
The new teacher walked up to the classroom and introduced herself to the entire classroom.
Miranda: It's wonderful to see you all this week, my name is Miss Miranda. I hope you will all welcome me here as not only as your teacher, but as a family member as well.
All of the students were agreeing with Miss Miranda, as Nocturne walks up to her and gives her something special.
Nocturne: Miss Miranda, it is with honor, I would give you this special basket with some goodies inside for you to enjoy. (Gives her new teacher the basket)
Miranda: Aw, thank you. I hope we'll get to know each other real soon and speaking of getting to know each other, I have some news.
Student #1: News? What kind of news? Are we going to a fun field trip?
Student #2: Is it a party? I want to have a party with the new teacher?
Student #3: We're going to go to another School Event today?
Nocturne: (Thinking and got an idea) Are we having a student coming by to our class?
Miranda: It seems this student got the idea of guessing what kind of news that I'm about to give. We are having a foreign exchange student right here.
Everyone was really getting excited about this student coming over to Nightfall City.
Miranda: He came from all the way from London and the royal family decided to let him study here for the entire semester.
Student #4: When you say "royal family", you mean that he's royalty?!
Miranda: That's right, this foreign student is part of the royal family and I decided to come welcome him to our classroom today.
Two bodyguards came from the door and entered the classroom with pride and stood their positions apart from each other.
Miranda: Everyone, please welcome the prince himself, Sir Doyle!
Sir Doyle went inside the class, as the bodyguards played the royal fanfare when he walked in.
Doyle: It is a wonderful day to meet you all, I am known as Sir Doyle of the Avery royal family. Pleasure to meet you.
The students were in shock and awe as they were about to gang up on the prince, but the bodyguards defends their prince with all of their might.
Nocturne: Guys, leave him alone. He just arrived here. (Sigh) What is up with everyone today?
Doyle: (Gasp) Why thank you. You are just too kind. (Went to Nocturne's desk) What is your name, little lady?
Nocturne: Nocturne, it's nice to meet you and you must be Sir Doyle. The pleasure's all mine, your majesty.
Doyle: The pleasure is all mine, Miss Nocturne. I hope we can be great friends in the future.
Miranda: All right, now that we're all acquainted for, let's get started with our daily routine with our studies.
Principal: Well then, I leave you in good hands. Everyone, have a good day and behave with your new teacher and student. (Left the classroom)
So everyone including Nocturne and Doyle were learning to increase their ELA Reading and Writing, Math, Social Studies and Science along the way. Doyle was very experienced in the Social Studies department, even though Nocturne didn't knew about the world while studying.
Nocturne: This Doyle person, he's very good about learning about the entire world around him. Maybe he can teach me a thing or two.
(Timeskip - Afternoon) (Lunch Time)
Nocturne got mashed potatoes with gravy and chicken nuggets for lunch and sat by the table with her fellow sisters.
Nocturne: Okay, now that we're here, let's go over what we've learned so far. First, we knew that my moms wanted to be executed. Then, I noticed that this power requires me to handle alone and finally, this figure shows up and looks just like me, but younger. I have to handle this type of situation alone.
Serenade: Are you sure about this, sis? What if you lose the match and won't come back to us?
Aria: Yeah man, I don't want to lose you. Besides, who else is going to lead us in finding our remaining sisters?
Nocturne: Don't worry, I'll be okay, I promise.
But when Nocturne was talking about her plan to the girls, Doyle was listening to their conversation while enjoying his own lunch.
Sherlock: (Telepathy) What do you think we should do, master? Head on over to Mementos to help her out?
Doyle: Not yet, Sherlock. Let's wait until the bird leaves the nest. Then, we'll go help her.
Sherlock: Of course, master. (Thoughts) I knew that my rival had been trying to resurrect our queen from the depths of darkness.
(Timeskip - After School) [Nightfall City - Hotel Lune - Penthouse]
Nocturne was preparing herself, armed with her keyblade, bought Hi-Potions, Hi-Ethers and Elixirs at the new Moogle Shop that's in her room. Anyways, she was ready to head on over to Mementos and finally, face the young version of herself in battle.
[The Room Between]
Nocturne: Alright, girls. I'm off and ready for face what I need to face in order to find out who I really am.
Aria: We'll contact each other through our intercoms. That way, we'll stay in touch no matter what.
Serenade: Nocturne, be careful. I don't want to lose you. Besides, Zee will take care you and she will find you if you're in trouble.
Nocturne: Okay, thanks girls. Well then, here I go! (Went through the World Gate that lead her to Mementos)
(Meanwhile outside)
A limo was in front of the hotel driveway and Doyle got some great news about what's happening from Sherlock.
Sherlock: (Telepathy) Master, the eagle has left the hen house. Shall we proceed to Mementos?
Doyle: Indeed we shall, my dear Persona. Let's head on over to the other side.
Doyle got out of her limo and was transported into Mementos and as for Nocturne, she's in for quite the surprise that she's about to get.
[Mementos - Path Of Aiyatsbus - Area 1]
Nocturne was hot on the trail on finding her younger self, so that she can battle her to find out who she really is! But she's having trouble where she's going.
Nocturne: (Running among the tracks) Where are you hiding?! Come out and face me, already!
Blanc: Excuse me, but maybe I can be of assistance.
Nocturne: Huh? Who's there?! Show yourself!
Serenade: (Intercom) Nocturne, behind you!
Nocturne turned around and saw that there's a boy in a royal soldier outfit with the mask of the phantom from the Phantom Of The Opera.
Nocturne: Who are you? Are you in league with my younger self?
Blanc: Oh goodness no, I came here to help you find what you're looking for. My name's Blanc.
Nocturne: Blanc? Wait, did my sisters sent you here?!
Serenade: (Intercom) I don't think we sent anyone with you. Besides, me and Aria are back at home base.
Blanc: Well, it seems we finally meet each other, Miss Nocturne.
Nocturne: It's an honor to meet you too, Mister?
Blanc: Blanc. Pleasure to meet you too, Miss Nocturne.
Nocturne: It's nice to meet you, Mister Blanc. (Hears a little girl's laughter) Wait, I hear her. Come on, Blanc. Let's go! (Followed the little girls' laughter)
Nocturne and Blanc followed the sound of a little girl's voice throughout the Path Of Aiyatsbus. But as they were on the trail, this happened!
The two heroes were running along the train tracks and saw that a giant monster was coming by.
Blanc: Careful, Nocturne. There's a shadow up ahead and we need to keep our head in the game.
Nocturne: Gotcha. (Tries to get pass the shadow) Almost there. (She slipped herself and fell) Ow! (Gasp) Uh-oh!
The shadow noticed her and went to attack her, but Blanc came to her rescue by attacking the shadow with his rapier.
The shadow got attacked and became two Bruisers and one Triple Wrecker. The shadow revealed that there was Unversed inside!
Nocturne: Heartless! (Summons her keyblade, Starlight) Blanc, stay back!
Blanc: Hold on, let me help you on this one. (Puts his hand on his mask) Come to me, Sherlock! (Rips off his mask and blue flames arise)
Among the blue flames was a person in a steampunk attire with a top hat with goggles, a well-dressed suit and wearing a detective cloak. He had a bionic arm, along with a cane sword with a magnifying glass on top of the cane.
Nocturne: That's Sherlock? As in Sherlock Holmes? As in the greatest detective in London?!
Blanc: Whoa! Looks like someone brushed up their modern history.
Nocturne: (Laughing) I am a girl with many talents.
Blanc: Watch this! Take them down, Sherlock! (Sherlock used Kouga on the first Bruiser and it took damage) Nice one!
Nocturne: My turn! (Striked down the first Bruiser with multiple hits, until it dissolves into nothing) That takes care of number one.
Blanc: Now for two! (Strikes the second Bruiser with his rapier, took damage from the Bruiser's attacks, but pulled through and destroyed it) I'm okay.
Nocturne: Hold on, Blanc! (Used her keyblade on Blanc) Eruc! (Blanc was healed, but Nocturne was damaged by the Triple Wrecker's magic attacks)
Blanc: Nocturne! (Growls) Sherlock! (Sherlock used Power Clash at the Triple Wrecker and got damaged) Nocturne, take this! (Gives her a Potion)
Nocturne: (Drank the Potion and was healed) Thanks, Blanc. Now to return the favor! (Used her keyblade for shotlock action) Sedalb Fo Eht Dnuor!
The shotlock blasted the Triple Wrecker into non-existence and the Unversed were no more!
Nocturne: (Victory Pose) La Victoire!
Blanc: Victory is ours!
Nocturne: That was some experienced fighting back there, Blanc.
Blanc: Why thank you, Miss Nocturne.
Nocturne: Well then, let's head on over to the end of the labyrinth and find myself, shall we?
Blanc: Indeed we shall! (Thought) Doyle, you are a true gentleman to this young lady.
(A few areas and Unversed bashing later)
[Mementos - Path Of Aiyatsbus - Area End]
The dynamic duo saw Nocturne's younger self and ran towards her, but an invisible area blocked off Blanc's path.
Young Nocturne: So, you finally came and I noticed that Sherlock came along with you. As of his persona user, I presume?
Sherlock: It is true, me and my master wanted to keep this young lady safe at all times.
Young Nocturne: That was utterly selfish of you, helping out our fellow operative! (Sighs) Anyways, ready for our battle? (Summons her keyblade) Shall we get started?
Arsene: To be fair, allow me to observe this battle. (Sees Sherlock) Oh. Hello, Sherlock.
Sherlock: Mr. Lupin, I presume? I see that you're on your best behavior today.
Arsene: (Annoyed) Yes, Sherlock. After all these years, you keep catching me in my acts of thievery. But anyway, we're friends and allies now.
Sherlock: Well then, let's see if Nocturne would do the same after she fights herself.
Nocturne: Blanc, sorry that you have to sit this one out. But this time, I'll take it from here.
Blanc: Good luck, Miss Nocturne and don't worry, I'll be fine on my own. Take down that little girl.
Nocturne winked at Blanc for thanks and the younger self used her keyblade to conjure up a World Gate to another dimension.
The two ladies went through the World Gate, along with Arsene passing through the gate as well.
[Nocturne's Station Of Awakening]
They arrived at a glass pillar that had Nocturne sleeping, the background was violet, red violet and blue violet. The area was Nightfall City and the circles were filled with Nocturne's sisters and her two mothers. Nocturne was shocked and stunned by this moment that she was in her own heart.
Nocturne: This is...my heart. No one is supposed to be here! Did you send me here on purpose?!
Young Nocturne: Hey! This is my heart too, so don't snap at me, okay?!
Nocturne: Alright, whatever you say.
Arsene: So this is her heart, huh? Well Nocturne, I hope you're ready for the fight of your life. Because this might be your difficult challenge ever!
Nocturne: Huh? (Sees Arsene standing on his own pillar) Arsene, what are you doing in my heart?! Get out of here!
Arsene: And miss your battle? (Laughing) Not a chance, I needed to see if the queen is still within you. Meaning that I got to observe you to see her majesty is still residing within yourself.
Nocturne: Fine! Younger self, are you ready to rumble?!
Young Nocturne: Very well, let us begin.
(Battle Music - The Other Promise)
Nocturne and Young Nocturne began their battle by clashing their keyblades to each other and Nocturne began to use magic against her younger self.
Nocturne: Erif! (Casts fire at Nocturne's younger self) (The fire magic was deflected by Nocturne's blocking)
Young Nocturne: Nice try, but this is how it's done! Agarif! (She casts Firaga at Nocturne)
Nocturne: (Got burnt by Firaga) Ahh! (Growling) (Shotlock Action) Noinu Korangar! (She used the ultimate shotlock of Starlight, Union Ragnarok at her younger self)
Young Nocturne: (Got hit by Union Ragnarok) Whoa, whoa, shoot! (Screaming in agony) You're good, too bad I don't have any shotlocks, but I can do this!
Nocturne: Huh? (Being attacked by her younger self, while blocking) Ha! Is that all you got? There's no way a younger version of me could. (Noticed that she's firing as well)
Young Nocturne: I wasn't going for you physically, I going for you at a distance! Korangar! (She was going for Ragnarok at Nocturne)
Nocturne: (saw the Ragnarok) Oh shoot! (Took damage) (Growling) Let's see if you can handle Cinos Edalb! (Hits her younger self with Sonic Blade)
Young Nocturne: (Got damaged, didn't block) Ahh! Stay still! Argh! Ekirts Diar! (Used Strike Raid at Nocturne by throwing her keyblade multiple times)
Nocturne: (Dodge Rolled from the young self's attacks) Gotcha! Nuts Tcapmi! (Young Nocturne got Stun Impact'd! and now she can't move)
Young Nocturne: (Paralysis) I can't move! (Struggling, but sighed) Well, it looks like you got me.
Nocturne: Now to finish this! Tneicna Thgil! (Finished off the younger self with Ancient Light) Show's over for you!
Arsene: The battle's over already. Looks like the younger self has a lot of experience to do, before learning these new abilities. But one thing's for certain, the original self has completed her task.
Nocturne looked at her younger self and walked toward her to see if she's okay.
Nocturne: Are you okay? (Reached her hand to her) Can you stand up?
Young Nocturne: Huh? I'm fine. But you were finishing me off! Are you going to just spare my life away?!
Nocturne: I would never harm you, sweetie. I'll always love myself, even when I'm younger.
Young Nocturne: (Laughing) You know, you're right. I'll always be apart of you too. (Dissolves into light and went inside Nocturne)
(Song Ends)
Nocturne: I finally figured out who I really am. I'm me and no one's going to take away my identity. Because I'll always love myself, no matter what.
Mysterious Voice: You've finally remember who you really are, my special little phantom queen.
Nocturne: (Eyes glowed yellow and starts to have a severe headache) Ahh!
(Persona 5 - Awakening Theme Plays)
When Nocturne was having her headache, the glass pillar began to glow as doves were flying from the floor as they were revealing Nocturne's heart. It's position was like Sora's, but it's her that's sleeping. Then, there were lots of screens and monitors that represent Nocturne's memories. They reveal Sora's memories of his journey. Including some of Nocturne's memories. Until a dove flew onto a mirror that appeared out of nowhere as Nocturne looked at herself.
Nocturne: (Awakening in process) What's going on? (Sees the dove flying through the mirror and shows Nocturne's young self again, but her eyes were yellow as well) It's you. (Spotlights shined on Nocturne and the mirror)
Mysterious Voice: You've noticed that the two women who took care of you were actually me, the whole time. Your mother is still alive and well. Now the day has finally come to take back your throne and show the Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed who's in charge here. Now that you know who you are, it's time to shed your blood once again. I am thou, thou art I. Shall we renew our contract, once again?
Nocturne: Yes. I do want to renew our contract. Thank you for showing who I really am. (A mask appeared on Nocturne's face, it was a butterfly mask) (The same thing happened with the younger version of Nocturne)
Mysterious Voice: Well then, you know what needs to be done. Don't you, my dear? (A blood tear ran through Nocturne's right eye and Carmilla was laughing quietly) It is time to revamp the blood oath.
Nocturne: Certainly. Thanks for the memories, Carmilla. (Beginning to rip off the mask, while struggling and feeling more pain) (The young self did the same)
Carmilla: You're welcome, my dear. Now it's time to rekindle our bonds, fight off any evil that comes in your way and find your remaining sisters! My dear queen, it's showtime!
Nocturne: (Finally rips off the mask, while both girls were screaming in pain) (Blue flames were engulfing Nocturne and everything went all white)
Arsene: My queen has returned! (Shielding himself with his wings and laughing)
Everything went calmer as Carmilla revealed herself, she was in a beautiful ballroom high-slit dress as she was dressed in black and red violet, along with black evening party gloves. Her hair was silver and black. She was also wearing a Venetian cat mask that's similar to Carmen's mask, but without the spots, it has swirls and twirls on it. She had platform heels with straps on her feet and the design on were red roses on them. She looks like she was the belle of the ballroom. Her lips were crimson and her makeup was deep black for the eye shadow and a violet tear runs through her right eye from her mask.
Nocturne: Whoa. Carmilla, you look so beautiful and. (Gasp) Is that a special ballroom dress that you're wearing? Do you have someone special in your mind?
Carmilla: Actually, I do have a special someone in particular. You can come out now, Laura!
There's also another women with her and she was wearing a ballroom outfit, but it's slit slash in the colors, white and blue violet with white evening gloves. Her hair was gold and white. She was wearing a Venetian hound mask and it had the same design as Carmilla's mask. Her heels were silver leather heels with straps. Her makeup was cerulean for the lips and for the eye-shadow was vast white and she had an yellow tear that runs through her left eye from her mask. This was Carmilla's lover herself, Laura.
Laura: I'm right here, Milli-kins! (Hugs Carmilla and sees Nocturne) If it isn't the queen herself, Nocturne. What do you think of our rebirth?
Nocturne: You two look so gorgeous. (Noticed herself, she was quite different from her old self) (A new attire and a new look) Whoa, I look so deliciously gorgeous.
Carmilla: You almost look like your mother and the Trickster who saved this world from ruin and took back reality itself.
Nocturne: My mother's alive and who's this Trickster person? Is this person a special one who's saved humanity, reality and the world as well?
Arsene: Let's save that question for another time. But it's an honor to have you back, my queen. (Bowed to his queen)
Nocturne: Arsene Lupin, it's good to be back. (Curtsied to her gentleman)
Carmilla/Laura: Welcome back, our queen. (Curtsied to her queen as they were giggling)
Nocturne: Same here girls, same here. (Curtsied to her ladies) Now come on, let's go back to the hotel. My sisters are waiting for me.
The others agreed and Nocturne conjured up a World Gate back home, everyone went through the gate and everybody went back to Nightfall City. But when everyone went back to Nocturne's world, Nocturne began to realize who she truly is. She's a true Phantom Queen Of Heart.
[Nightfall City - Penthouse - Living Room]
Serenade: (Talking through her intercom) Nocturne, can you hear me? What happened?
Aria: You don't think we lost her in Mementos? (Laughing awkwardly) Right?
But when the girls were talking about Nocturne, the door from the Room Between began to open like the gates of heaven opening. We then see Nocturne appear from the light from the double doors and she was looking pretty amazing and beautiful as the girls saw her.
Serenade: Nocturne, is that you? You look different.
Aria: Yeah girl, you look like you came out of a movie flick. But in a good way.
Nocturne: Ladies, you're staring at the new me. Nocturne, the Phantom Queen Of Hearts!
Aria: Phantom Queen Of Hearts? What's that, your title as the queen of the opera? (Laughing)
Arsene: (Came out of nowhere) Actually, she's our queen, The Queen of the Phantom Thieves! She's the one that will lead the way to freedom and rid of the darkness, once and for all!
Serenade: Whoa! I see that you made some new allies on your way to Mementos, sis.
Aria: (Panicked screaming) Who are you?!
Nocturne: This is Arsene, he's my companion and he's very nice, once you get to know them.
Serenade waved to the gentleman, while Aria said hello to him in an awkwardly way. The gentleman greeted the two sisters in his own manner.
Arsene: Now that the greetings are in order, it's time we bring our friends to the party as well.
Nocturne: Wait, you have friends as well, Arsene?
Arsene: Oh, I do have friends and we're about to head down to the hotel ballroom to meet them.
Serenade: There are others by the lobby?
Aria: What in the world are you talking about?
Arsene: Come down to the ballroom and you will know. (Disappeared to the ballroom)
Nocturne: The ballroom, huh? Well, I better get dressed for the occasion. (Went to her room to get dressed for this wonderful occasion)
Serenade: Those guys were amazing! Oh man, I got to get ready to meet them. Can't start a party without me! (Went to her room to get changed as well)
Aria: (Got on her phone) I'm going to call for backup. (Group dialed the Superhero Girls for backup) Girls, I need you for a super important mission.
(Meanwhile in Nocturne's room)
Nocturne got dressed in a beautiful black and violet dress with collarless split sleeves and she was ready to dance the night away!
Carmilla: (Appeared in the room) Radiant as always, I see.
Laura: (Appeared with Carmilla) Aw, you look so cute to me! (Giggling)
Nocturne: Thanks Carmilla and Laura, I hope Arsene's friends are nice. Because I want to know each and every one of them.
Carmilla: I hope so too. Well, see you at the ballroom. (Disappeared to the ballroom)
Laura: Milli-kins, wait for me! See you later, Nocturne. (Disappeared as well)
Nocturne: (Giggling) Will those two ever learn how to stick together? Oh well. (Getting prepared for the ballroom)
(Meanwhile in the living room)
Aria: (Panicked) Where are they? WHERE ARE THEY?!
The door to the Room Between burst through as the Superhero Girls arrived from their world.
Babs: We're here, Aria. What seems to be the trouble? Pesky criminals? Rotten villains? Evil Heartless?
Aria: Even worse! A gentleman that came with Nocturne. Arsene Lupin!
Zee: Wait a minute, did you say Arsene Lupin? Isn't he a fictional character in that book, Arsene Lupin: The Gentleman Thief?!
Aria: Yeah...why?
Zee: You mean that the fictional character is here in this hotel?!
Aria: If you put it that way, then yes. But please take this seriously, I need you to. (Got interrupted by Zee)
Zee: (Squealing) Arsene is here in this very hotel! Man, I haven't been this excited since I've learned my first spell. Although, it was confusing.
Karen: Wow Zee, I didn't know you were into Modern Fiction stories.
Babs: And I thought I was the only person who likes comic books about Action, Comedy and Adventure.
Diana: I want to know what are these Modern Fiction stories that you like to read about Zee.
Zee: Well Diana, I'm glad to teach you everything about Modern Fiction.
Aria: (Frustrated) EXCUSE ME! But this is no time for chit-chat, my sister is in real danger here!
Jessica: I don't sense anything wrong here, even when a gentleman named Arsene is in this hotel.
Kara: You're not trying to pull our leg here, are you, Aria? Because if you are, watch what happens, man.
Aria: I'm telling you, it's not a joke! Arsene is after my sister and we need to save her now!
Zee: Alright, Aria. Let's calm down and think this through. Maybe this character you're seeing are just...a superhero vigilante, I think that's it. (Thought) Those weren't actors, so this is what daddy meant by seeing "Personas". I guess I was right and after all these years, Fantasia and Operetta were actually the personas, Carmilla and Laura all this time.
Aria: Are you sure? Then why was there bluish flames and chains surrounding them?
Karen: Maybe that's their power flowing? It's just my guess.
Babs: Or maybe he's a thief, but maybe they only steal the hearts of criminals!
Aria: Oh yeah! He steals their hearts, which is their treasured item and the criminal would confess their crimes!
Zee: I guess you've figured it out, Aria. He's very good people who gives people courage and pride to stand up to their own beliefs.
Jessica: Really? I wish he could help me save the environment from being torn down, so that everyone could respect our planet.
Serenade: (Arrived out of nowhere) Oh, hello girls. Didn't expect you here, are you going to the ballroom as well?
Zee: Oh, hey Serenade. Wait, where's Nocturne?
Nocturne: Right over here, Madame Zatara. (Arrived in the living room with her ballroom outfit)
Zee: Oh my gosh. (Blushing) You look amazing, by the way, what happened to your red hair and your casual outfit?
Nocturne: (Held Zee's hands) I've figured out who I really am and to celebrate, Arsene invited me to the hotel ballroom.
Serenade: Yup! I can't wait to see Arsene and his friends. I've got my special necktie to look good for the occasion.
Nocturne: (Giggling) Looks good on you, Serenade. Anyways, I should probably get going. Don't want to be late.
Diana: Hold on, sister Nocturne. We will come with you. I want to learn who are these Modern Fiction characters are.
Kara: I hope that this party is way better in Lex's party, because of the heist we just pulled off.
Jessica: (Punches Kara in the stomach) Which is none of our business, right Kara? (Says it twice, but gritted her teeth) Right, Kara?!
Kara: Uh, yeah. No sweat. (Laughing awkwardly)
Babs: Well what are we waiting for? Let's head on down to the ballroom!
Nocturne: The ballroom's by the lobby, I'll take you girls there.
As the girls were excited to head on over to the ballroom, Nocturne left the penthouse and was on her way to the ballroom.
Serenade: (Noticed that Nocturne left) Nocturne, wait for us! (Left the penthouse along with the girls)
(A few minutes later)
[Nightfall City - Hotel Lune - Ballroom]
The girls and Nocturne arrived by the doors to the ballroom, as she was a bit curious about what's beyond those doors.
Lavenza: (Out of nowhere) Ah, I see that you're all here. (Came from the Velvet Room door) You've finally figured out who you really are.
Nocturne: Thank you, Lavenza. Now that I found out who I really am, I'm ready to see Arsene and his friends!
Zee: And we'll be there to support you all the way. (The other Superhero Girls agreed)
Serenade: Same with me, Noct!
Aria: I'm with you as well, sis!
Nocturne: All right, here we go ladies! (Opened the door to the ballroom and noticed the area)
The girls saw that the ballroom was very grand and elegant at the same time. The girls saw the entire scenery and were amazed by it, until they saw Arsene, Carmilla and Laura by the tables. The table that Arsene is in represents the boys table, which is blue and the table that Carmilla and Laura are in represents the girls table, which is pink.
Nocturne: Arsene! (Noticed her persona) Carmilla! Laura!
Arsene: Ah, if it isn't the queen herself. Wonderful evening this is. Isn't that right, your majesty?
Carmilla/Laura: Nocturne!
Nocturne: Hey everyone! It's been an honor to be here with all of you.
Arsene: (Saw her in her ballroom and laughing) Oh, Nocturne. You've always know how to make an entrance.
Nocturne: Why thank you, Monsieur Lupin. Speaking of which, where are your friends?
Arsene: Well, I'm glad that you asked. (Snaps his fingers as the lights were out)
Diana: What in the world? Sisters, stick together!
Babs: You don't have to tell me twice!
Kara: Alright, now it's a party!
Jessica: Who turned out the lights?
Karen: (Screaming) It's too dark here!
Zee: (Senses something among the shadows) They're here.
Aria: Oh my goodness! I can't see a thing!
Serenade: Sis! Where are you? I can't see! I can't see!
Nocturne: Ooh. Trying to hide in the dark, huh? Well, you can't escape me! (Ran through the dark ballroom)
Just when Nocturne was running in the dark, a spotlight appeared on her and shielded her eyes from the light. But as for the girls and the sisters, they were being transported back to the penthouse with a barrier sealing the exit.
Nocturne: Girls! (Ran towards the door to find them, but a barrier got in her way) Blocked. (Thought) Don't worry, girls. I'll find you, I promise!
Lavenza: What's wrong, Nocturne? I thought you wanted to meet your companions?
Nocturne: I know, but Arsene didn't have to sweep my friends out of this to the sidelines!
Lavenza: This is more between the queen and her subjects for now on, if that's fine with you.
Nocturne: (Laughing quietly) Alright, let's see who's ready to meet their queen.
Lavenza: That sounds like an excellent idea. (Went to the podium in the middle of the tables)
Carmilla: I hope my queen is strong enough to meet the others.
Laura: I'm sure that she'll do good, sweetie.
Arsene: As you wish, my queen. You've already met me, along with your persona. So allow me to do the honors. (Claps his hands two times)
On cue, a huge gust of wind came through the area and Nocturne held on tight with her keyblade on the ground. She barely held on and when the gust blew through, a man in black appeared in the sky and landed with grace. He even drew a huge "Z" with his rapier equipped on him.
Zorro: Hola, Mi reina. Your loyal knight has arrived.
Nocturne: Hold on, that Z mark, the spanish tone and the getup. (Realized the persona) Is that you, Zorro?
Zorro: Si! Who else makes a grand entrance like that? (Laughing heroically)
Nocturne: I should've noticed. I've always knew that you're heroic moves always keep California safe from the bad guys.
Zorro: I sure have, Mi Reina. This honorable man knows how to keep a girl happy and I want you to be happy, Mi Reina.
Nocturne: Okay, let's not get too much. Anyways, it's an honor to meet you again, senior Zorro.
After Nocturne met Zorro, lightning bolts crash and bash through the ballroom as Zorro tried to protect her with all of his might and Nocturne protected herself with her keyblade.
Zorro: Stay on guard, Mi Reina. We don't know what we're facing.
Nocturne: Zorro, it's no threat. I think I know who's making those bolts. (Yelled out) Ahoy, Captain Kidd!
A boat appeared out of nowhere as there was a person riding the boat and it was none other than the pirate himself, Captain Kidd.
Captain Kidd: Ahoy, my pirate queen. Looks like you came to the party as well.
Zorro: Hey, you can't just barge in like this is your place! I'm trying to protect Mi Reina!
Captain Kidd: Zorro, she's our queen and besides, you need to go to Arsene and his allies now. (Arsene snapped his fingers and Zorro went to the boys table)
Nocturne: Thanks, Captain. He's so protective anyway. So, how's the high seas treating you? Found any treasure?
Captain Kidd: The high seas are really treating me well, but there's no sign of any treasure that I can find.
Nocturne: That's okay. As your pirate queen, it's my duty to help you on your search to riches.
Captain Kidd: Anywhere you go, I will always follow you to the edges of the earth. Even if it's land or sea!
Nocturne: That would be all, captain. You're dismissed. I'll see you later.
Captain Kidd: Until we see each other in the high seas, my pirate queen. (Went to the boys table)
Nocturne felt a bit of a chill in the air and dodged the ice attacks with ease, but then she noticed a figure coming after her and clashed her keyblade with the figure.
Goemon: That was very impressive, your excellency.
Nocturne: Goemon. Nice try on trying to get me, but I'm still flexible.
Goemon: You do have the reflexes of a dragon, your excellency.
Nocturne: Goemon, are there any enemy activity happening in your world?
Goemon: No, your excellency. But if I may, you can scout with me to find them and hunt them down.
Nocturne: And maybe we'll do some top-notch training along the way.
Goemon: That would be efficient, your excellency. (Bowed to Nocturne in an honorable way)
Nocturne: I'll see you in a bit, Goemon. (Bowed to Goemon honorably as well, as Goemon left to the boys table)
Nocturne felt something that it was coming towards her and grabbed the item that was actually an arrow.
Nocturne: Robin Hood, trying to catch me off guard, are you?
Robin Hood came out from the shadows and as he came out, he kneeled down to Nocturne as he felt sympathy for her.
Robin Hood: I'm sorry, my queen. It's just that I want to see if you still got the moves that I showed you.
Nocturne: I still got them, so how's everything in Sherwood Forest? Everyone getting along?
Robin Hood: Indeed, everyone is doing very well. No sign of the pathetic prince and the king's still somewhere in my world.
Nocturne: I see, well if you see the prince, come find me and we'll give him a beating of his life.
Robin Hood: Understood, I'll protect everyone in Sherwood Forest and you two, my queen.
Nocturne: Not even Maid Marian? Wink-Wink. (Giggling)
Robin Hood: Yes, even her. I'll protect both of you, my love and my queen as well. But please, don't tease me like that. Alright?
Nocturne: Okay. On your way then, Robin Hood. (Robin Hood went to the boys table, next to Arsene, Zorro, Captain Kidd and Goemon)
Valjean: So, your excellency. I see that you've finally came back to your true self.
Nocturne: Valjean...nice to see you as well. I noticed that your work is never done.
Valjean: Same with yours. We have families to take care of. And you, my excellency. Have to find yours.
Nocturne: Thank you, Valjean. You take care of your family and I'll find mine. (Thought) I hope.
Valjean: Very well. I'll see you later then, your excellency. (Went to the boys table with Arsene and the others)
Nocturne: I'll see you soon, Valjean. (Sigh and looks at Lavenza) Lavenza, I'm done with the boys. Now for the girls.
Lavenza: Understood. Now that the men are introduced. (Looks at Carmilla) Carmilla, if you please.
Carmilla stood up and was ready to call in the ladies and Nocturne was in for a treat.
Carmilla: Alright, Nocturne. Now that you've met the boys, now it's time to meet the girls! (Whistles)
A green light shined upon Nocturne and as she looked up, she noticed that it was actually coming from a UFO!
Nocturne: (Giggling) Greetings, Necronomicon.
Necronomicon: Greetings, my queen.
Nocturne: I see that you've been gathering a lot of information about this meeting.
Necronomicon: Yes, according to my research, we have a very special surprise for you.
Nocturne: A surprise?! What kind of surprise?!
Necronomicon: You're just going to have to wait and see.
Nocturne: Okay, I'll be patient. Anyways, how's every creature in your database?
Necronomicon: Every creature in my database is all green, except for Azathoth. Somehow, he escaped.
Nocturne: Uh-oh. I hope we'll find him soon.
Necronomicon: Me too, my queen. Well, I'm off. See you soon. (Flew to the girls table)
Nocturne: Bye, Necronomicon! (Waved goodbye)
Nocturne then heard the sound of a motorcycle and as the sound grew closer and closer, Nocturne jumped and hopped on to the motorcycle.
Nocturne: (Riding the motorcycle in circles) Woo-hoo! Ride'em Johanna!
Johanna: Hold on, your grace. This is going to be amusing for you. (Nocturne rode on Johanna for at least 20 times around the ballroom)
Nocturne: I think it's time to stop Johanna, I think I'm about to be dizzy.
Johanna: (Stopped her motor) Your grace. It's been a while.
Nocturne: How's everything with the catholic church? You weren't discovered of your true identity. Have you?
Johanna: No, your grace. No one has discovered my true gender.
Nocturne: Good. Because if they found out, you'd be dead. I don't want you to die.
Johanna: Neither will I and neither will you. I'm going to be by your side, no matter what.
Nocturne: Same here, Pope Joan. (Gets off of Johanna) I'll see you in a bit, okay.
Johanna: Have a wonderful evening, your grace. (Rides off to Carmilla's side)
Nocturne: There goes a wonderful bike. (Sigh) To think you know a woman.
Pandora: Greetings, your majesty. (Floats down from above)
Nocturne: Pandora. I see that you're still releasing all of the negativity life is throwing at you?
Pandora: Correct. But I also gave everyone the hope that they desire.
Nocturne: You're right. Even though you punish some very bad people, you still gave a shining light to everyone who respects you.
Pandora: Indeed, your majesty. I wonder if you will do the same. Whether to punish the tyranny of bad citizens or to bring forth shining hope to your supporters.
Nocturne: Let's let fate be my guiding key to find out, Pandora.
Pandora: Then it's decided. (Went to the girls table with Necronomicon and Johanna) Until we meet again, your majesty.
Nocturne: Same here, Pandora. (She then hears a noblewoman's laugh) That laugh, it can't be.
Milady: Oh, it can be and it is. My dear fated queen. (Spotlight shines on her) Ta-da!
Nocturne: Well, well, well. If it isn't the elegant woman herself, Milady de Winter!
Milady: In the flesh. So, how's everything in your life so far?
Nocturne: My life is doing well so far. Finding my sisters is my top priority and gathering them to find out what happened during last year.
Milady: I see and how's the search so far?
Nocturne: Found Serenade and Aria. Now I need to find nine more sisters to go.
Milady: Well, as for me. I was enjoying a wonderful day having a nice cup of tea, until I heard about this party.
Nocturne: Me too, Arsene even invited me. But my sisters and friends were pushed away!
Milady: I think this party is some sort of reunion between the phantom thieves and her queen only.
Nocturne: Whatever. So Miss de Winter, do you know anything about this special surprise?
Milady: That's for you to know on your own, but you'll get there. I promise, my queen. Have patience.
Nocturne: Alright, it's an honor to see you again. Farewell, Miss de Winter.
Milady: Farewell, my queen. (Went to Carmilla's spot with Necronomicon, Pandora and Johanna)
Nocturne: (Growling) What is this surprise that the phantom thieves are talking about?!
(Meanwhile with Carmilla and Laura)
Laura: Um, Milli-kins. Looks like Nocturne's getting a bit fired up and angry. Maybe it's because of the special surprise?!
Carmilla: Don't worry, Laura. Only two women to go and maybe we'll show her the special surprise. I promise.
(Meanwhile with Nocturne)
Nocturne: (Talking to herself) Calm down, Nocturne. Maybe you need something to bite on or to drink, maybe. Yeah, that will calm you down.
But when Nocturne was about to get herself something to eat or drink, there were little specks of fire circling to form a dance floor.
Nocturne: Is it getting hot in here or is it just me? Because I'm really starting to feel very thirsty now.
Carmen: Are you sure about that, little tramp?
Nocturne: (Remembers the word "Little Tramp") Little Tramp? (Realized something) There's only one person who calls me by that name.
Nocturne then got dragged by two mannequins with heart caskets on their heads, as they were messing with Nocturne and barely got her ballroom outfit broken. The mannequins were twisting and twirling Nocturne around and she was getting dizzy.
Nocturne: (Getting dizzy) Who do you think you two are making me feel all dizzy like that?!
But then, Nocturne was caught by an embrace. But not just any embrace, it was an embrace...of a gypsy.
Nocturne: (Being hugged) Carmen, it's been a while.
Carmen: Same here, my little tramp. (Stopped hugging her and held her hands to start a dance together)
The two girls were dancing the flamenco in pairs and Nocturne was being guided by Carmen to make her dance better.
Carmen: (While dancing) (Laughing gently) I see that your passion for women is still on you, little tramp. I can tell by your face.
Nocturne: (While dancing) (Blushing, while being flustered) My face?! What do you mean by that? I don't know what you're talking about, I don't have anything on my face.
Carmen: (While dancing) You don't have to lie to me. When I came to you, you felt calm and relaxed by my embrace. I know that you're passion for women is still with you.
Nocturne: (While dancing) I...still don't know what you're talking about. But...the way you explained it to me, it's possibly true.
Carmen: (While dancing) You know, you're actually good in my book. My little tramp. Even if all the men I was with is such a bore.
Nocturne: (While dancing) Oh my. I don't know what to say. (Nocturne's heart began to warm up a bit)
Carmilla then saw something coming out of Nocturne's heart, there are two spirit energies. One that's light and one that's darkness
Carmilla: Wait a minute, those energies. They can only mean one thing, her special friends are coming out to play.
What Carmilla said about Nocturne's two friends, I mean that she has two feminine figures arriving from her heart and the two revealed their forms from materialization.
The two figures are wearing figure skater outfits, the light one has a blue outfit and the black one has a red outfit. They have no caskets like Carmen's figures, but they do have swan masks. The black one had a white swan mask and the white one had a black swan mask. The white had black hair and the black had white hair. The black had white makeup and the white had black makeup.
Carmilla: I knew it! Carmen released the two dolls deep within Nocturne, Ebony & Ivory!
Nocturne: (Noticed Ebony & Ivory while she stopped dancing) Huh? Who are these two? Are they with you?
Carmen: (Stopped dancing) Actually, they're with you. Don't you remember, little tramp? They're your little friends, Ebony & Ivory.
Ebony & Ivory took Nocturne's hands and spun her around while skating in a circle.
Nocturne: Ebony...Ivory...where have I heard them before?
Carmen: Your special surprise would answer that question for you. But until then. (Took her cigar out of her mouth with one hand and caresses Nocturne's chin with her hand, while they look into each other's eyes) See you soon, my little tramp. (Slowly, Carmen gives Nocturne a passionate kiss on the lips)
Nocturne rolled with Carmen's kiss for a few seconds until Carmen broke the kiss, gave her a rose from her dress and winked at her before she headed towards the girls table with her mannequins by her side.
Nocturne: (Blushing and crying) Carmen...I...I...I! (Dried her tears and mascara off her face) I...want to say...thank you...for making me remember Ebony & Ivory.
Cendrillon: Your majesty, I think you're memory will appear as I bring you the person who's always with you throughout your memories.
Nocturne then saw Cendrillon holding Blanc by the elbow, like those two are walking down the aisle.
Nocturne: Blanc?! You've been invited as well?!
Blanc: I don't want to keep my dearly beloved stepsister waiting for quite sometime, thanks Cendrillon.
Cendrillon: Sure thing, Lady Aubade and I wish we had some time with you, Lady Nocturne. But I don't want to be late with the others. Until we meet again. (Went to the girls table with Necronomicon, Johanna, Milady, Carmen, Carmilla and Laura)
Nocturne: Same here, Cendrillon. Wait, who's Aubade?! Blanc, who's Cendrillon talking about?
Blanc: Nocturne, our time has finally come as we're finally reunited and it's all thanks to these personas who guided me back here...to you. (Reverted to his regular self)
Nocturne: Doyle?! You're Blanc?! This is so mixed up even for me to handle and now Blanc is really Doyle?! How's this even possible?!
Doyle: Truth is that I'm not Doyle either, let me show you who I really am to you and only you with your own eyes. (Doyle took out his rapier and the rapier transformed itself into the keyblade, Dawn Till Dusk and pointed upwards to use the light within to give himself a light shower)
Nocturne: (Sees the light shower) Whoa, this is impossible. There's no way that Doyle knows me.
Aubade: (Speaking through the light shower) Nothing is impossible, because the impossible is just a myth and sometimes, you got to make the impossible, possible.
Nocturne: Because the possibilities are endless to me and you. (Realized something) It is you, Aubade!
Aubade then finally came out of the light shower and was wearing the same kind of outfit as Nocturne has, but with the colors, white and orange.
Aubade: It's been so long that I've finally found you, dear stepsister and most importantly...my love.
Nocturne: Stepsister? Since when do I have a stepsister, there's no why I. (Paused for a moment and remembers something) Wait a minute...Aubade, Is that really you?
Aubade: (Went to Nocturne) I don't know, am I real to you? (Shows Nocturne the mark of the Rabbit on her neck and giggling)
Nocturne: That's the mark of the Rabbit. That means that you're...you're. (Starts crying) Back. You're back and alive! (Hugs Aubade)
Aubade: (Shushes Nocturne gently) It's okay, let it out. Let it all out, my love.
Lavenza: I just love happy reunions. Sherlock, thank you for guiding our other queen to her beloved.
Sherlock: (Arrived) It's been an honor, Lavenza. Arsene, your majesty, I leave the rest to you. Farewell, everyone. Even you, Nocturne and Aubade. (Disappeared into the light)
Nocturne: (Flowing with tears) I never thought I see you again. (Sniffling) I thought I lost you after the incident.
Aubade: I know, but I was with you all the way in the care of Monsieur Zatara and her daughter, Zee.
Nocturne: But I thought Zee took care of me.
Aubade: Well, Noct. Zee barely remembers a thing about moi. As of matter of fact, Arsene, if you please?
Arsene: Sure thing, my queen. (Snaps his fingers and then Zee came falling down)
Zee was floating down to the floor like Mary Poppins, due to her magic as she conjured up a magic umbrella.
Zee: (Landed on the floor) Nocturne, are you okay? (Sees Aubade and gasped) Aubade? It's you! (Ran towards Aubade and hugged her) It's been a long time.
Aubade: It really was, princess. It really was.
Nocturne: So, Miss Princess Of Prestidigitation, you have some explaining to do.
Zee: Huh? What do you want to talk about?
Aubade: When Nocturne was dreaming when you, Karen and my sister were getting ready to go to the ball. Did something happen to Nocturne's dreams?
Zee: Not really, I was too busy getting ready. Why?
Aubade: (Summons her keyblade) Maerd tfir! (A Dream Rift appeared and saw that someone rewrite Nocturne's dreams)
Zee: What the?! Someone erased you from Nocturne's dream?! Who would do that? Was it the dream demon again?!
Aubade: No, even worse. Scelerat and Furcifer, the seekers of darkness.
Nocturne: (Getting a headache on her head and starts to remember)
Zee: Nocturne?! What's happening to her?
Aubade: She's starting to remember what happened in the past.
Zee: Her past? You mean those two villains that haunts Nocturne?
Aubade: Yes. (Seeing Nocturne) She had a bright future, until those two villainesses came and they were about to try to separate us.
Nocturne: (Her head stopped hurting) Scelerat and Furcifer, they tried to get rid of you in my dreams and now they're still out there, getting rid of all twelve of us!
Zee: Twelve of you? What do you mean? Who are they?
Nocturne: Me, Aubade, Serenade, Minuet, Aria, Ballad, Rhapsody, Oratorio, Waltz, Caprice and the real Fantasia and Operetta. They are my sisters and my family.
Zee: Oh, I see. You want to find them and take out the ones who haunts your life?
Arsene: It's true, Miss Zatara. On the day that Carmilla and Laura came to you and your father, these two ladies seek shelter from you to protect themselves from the darkness known as Scelerat and Furcifer.
Zee: Huh? You mean that me and daddy gave shelter to Nocturne and Aubade?! Whoa. I didn't know that these girls were being hunted down.
Lavenza: I think we'll have to cut our meeting a little short, because time is of the essence. So far, this meeting will be finished.
Arsene: Alright, Lavenza. Phantom Thieves, let's move! (Arsene and the others left the ballroom, Carmilla and Laura went back to Nocturne and Aubade)
Zee: Come on, I'll get us there fast. (Took Nocturne and Aubade's hands) Ready, girls? (Nocturne and Aubade nodded yes) Now, together!
Nocturne/Aubade/Zee: (Cast the spell) Ekat su kcab ot eht esuohtnep! (The girls transported from the ballroom and to the penthouse)
Lavenza: May your heart be your guiding key, Nocturne and Aubade. (Went back to the Velvet Room through the door)
[Nightfall City - Hotel Lune - Penthouse]
Nocturne, Aubade and Zee arrived inside the penthouse and noticed that everyone was gone.
Nocturne: Huh? Where is everyone?
Aubade: Hold on, let me check around the house. (She used her power to search for her sisters)
Nocturne: What's going to happen? Aria and Serenade are still here in the house, right?
Zee: Yeah and my friends are still missing. (Zee's phone rings) Hold on, I better take this.
While Zee's on her phone, Aubade finally found where Serenade and Aria's locations.
Aubade: I found them. They're in their rooms sleeping and as for the Superhero Girls. (Got interrupted by Zee)
Zee: Girls, my friends are back at Metropolis. They said that they were asleep too, but woke up when they arrived back.
Nocturne: Well then, you better head back to Metropolis and see if they're okay.
Zee: Good idea. (Ran to the door that leads to the Room Between) Nocturne and Aubade, I'll see you ladies later. (Blew kisses at the two girls)
Nocturne and Aubade caught the kisses as Zee went back to her world, they went to the living room and sat on the couch for a discussion.
Aubade: Nocturne, how have you been for the last couple of years?
Nocturne: It's been a while, I've discovered that this hotel has a lot of mysteries to be solved and that there are worlds beyond our wildest dreams.
Aubade: I see that you've found the Jewel of Clubs, but the other three jewels are still out there and your playing cards are the transmitter and the jewels are the receiver.
Nocturne: Yeah, not to mention finding our other sisters that are still lost all over the worlds between our reach!
Aubade: I agree. Fantasia, Operetta, Minuet, Ballad, Rhapsody, Oratorio, Waltz and Caprice are still hidden from us.
Nocturne: Not to mention mother and mom still missing from the family. But now's not the time for moping around, let's go find them.
Aubade: Wait a minute, Nocturne. I think you went on an adventure for long enough, I think it's time to unwind for once.
Nocturne: But we need to find our friends and our moms, solve the mystery of this hotel and stop the villains!
Aubade: And I say, we deserve a break and I want to take you somewhere beautiful and amazing at the same time. Okay?!
Nocturne: Really? In that case, where are we going?
Aubade: If you want to know, follow me to the Room Between.
Nocturne: (Sigh) Alright fine. (Thought) It's been a while since me and Aubade were together, maybe I do need some relaxation.
Nocturne went to the Room Between with Aubade and wondering what kind of location they will be going.
This is quite the shocker in these turn of events, instead of Nocturne finding her sisters, her stepsister named Aubade found her! Now that she's back in Nocturne's life, she's offering Nocturne some relaxation for the time being. But where will she take her? Will the phantom thieves look after them and who are Scelerat and Furcifer?
All of these answers would be revealed in this thrilling adventure. So let's go, as the journey continues!
