After what seemed forever between the conflicting colours between white and red light, both lights vanished without a trace. Red traces of light could be seen from Hikari's sight. Nothing can stop her anymore. She must finish what she has stopped.

In truth,she stood staring at the girl in black emotionlessly. Tairitsu has accepted her fate. She has accepted that it was useless. She closed her eyes. "If that is what it is, then... "

"No matter how much I defy fate…"
"No matter how much I struggle…."
"No matter how much I suffer..."
"It doesn't matter…"

Hikari coldly raised her hand with the shard as she stabbed Tairitsu. Once wasn't enough. Like a mad serial killer, she continuously stabs her without any emotion, much less any joy. No longer moving, Hikari was certain that she was long gone despite the lack of blood. Tairitsu then disappeared into particles.

Watching her fade away to nothingness, Hikari walked towards The Beyond, intending to harness it's power. In the meantime, her memory of her enemy slowly fades.

Tairitsu's fate is sealed
The girl in black's fate is sealed
Her fate is sealed

A dying white beam of light covers her, waking her up from a trace. She looked around, looking for anyone. But she realized what had happened.

She was too late.

She slammed the floor. Couldn't be able to alter fate despite having the best chance to do so. Are there any more chances to alter fate in the next loop?

"Everything now lies on you…"

Indeed everything was on Hikari, not her friend. Her friend's victory was destroyed,but not the girl in white's victory.

As she touched The Beyond, she knew what must be done. Not to fix her failed goal, but to repair this world.

"Revive and come back to me…"
"Everyone who has fallen to her…"

...

(Background music: Either Strike ('Divine Mercy' Extended) by Akira Complex)

A month later…

She has repaired this world. Everyone came back but 'they' aren't real. They are only artifical. She enjoyed being in the fantasy of this fakeness that she recreated. Everyone and everything, except herself is all made of shards turned into life.

What else could she do?

In her mind, she was crying. She may have gotten around the cursed fate. But, this fate went through. She lost everything that mattered to her. Everything. It was all her fault.

Someone died for her.

She killed someone.

It was all written in stone. It was inevitable.

'Inevitable' heh? It wasn't. It was all her fault. She had everything to change it. Voices came back to haunt her.

"Are you happy with this?"
"You got your revenge. I killed you, so you avenged yourself by killing me. Quite fitting don't you think?"
"I… guess we really couldn't exist… have fun being alone in this world that you can rule to yourself."

An intense dissatisfaction in the world. And in compulsion to do something about it (A/N: Ok, sorry I had to do it, can't resist it), she knocked herself off to satisfy herself once again with fake lives. Each time she interacts with these 'people', her memory of her past life and her 'friend' here fades. However, her despair remains.

Nothing can cure her depression and her insanity. Not even The Beyond can save her.

Her once white dress has now turned red. She lost her 'wings' from her despair. She no longer wears her beret, instead attaching her beret at her waistline.

Everything has a limit. Eventually, Hikari got bored with these fake lives. But she does not intend to get rid of them. She wants to end this suffering.

She picks up a shard, not The Beyond, but one she calls her own 'Guiding star'. She laughs at herself, not knowing what to do.

She is no longer herself
She is just one sad girl.
Who was dressed in red

With her last act, she looked into its memories.


A woman in red who looked too similar to the girl in red was facing the girl in white and the girl in black. She was confident that she would defeat the two girls, having defeated them again. The girls were too weak even with their powers against her.

She spoke words about remembering her past, being involved with Arcaea's creation, building this world with only shards, not with her own design. Then finding the truth of this world. Lastly, the girls' fate. Her absolute rule will ensure that no one would oppose her again.

The fight begins. After a long time, though she was defeated, she spoke about something to the girl in white.

"Hi**ri, I thought I had regained my memories when I gained my godhood...but this battle made me remember everything… Everything about myself… Everything now lies on you…" She said her last words before her consciousness fades.


The girl in red cannot believe it. She cannot believe it.

"THIS CANNOT BE!"
"I CANNOT BE ANYONE!"

But it is true, look at what she had become. She sealed her fate into this. She cursed herself to become her.

She laughed again.

With her 'guiding star', she destroyed herself.

Will the girl in white and the girl in black have another chance to alter their fate? For now, with their failure, fate has been alternated.

TRACK LOST: FATE HAS BEEN ALTERNATED


A/N: Just to clarify, Hikari became the new god of Arcaea by controlling the shard. But as time passed, she became crazy and mad that she slowly became the God of Arcaea (the one who tried to kill Hikari and Tairitsu). In A-16, the god of Arcaea never knew that she was Hikari until she was about to die.

A-9 foreshadowed major events in this fic that would happen with Sophia's dreams. In the first dream, it foreshadowed Alexandar's death that happened in A-15. In the second dream, it foreshadowed Hikari and Tairitsu's fight (in A-17) and Tairitsu's death in this ending.

This ending represents you failing the chart when the track ends because your RR is not at the minimum RR gauge (of usually 70) to clear.

For this ending, I initially intended Hikari to wake up after killing Tairitsu and then she committed suicide because of guilt way earlier after finishing Act 2. But as I was writing this, I realized that it would take away the reveal that Hikari was the god of Arcaea. Also the chapter's title initially referred to Tairitsu dying, but in the end, it referred to Hikari becoming this. Well, even it's still applicable if you think the title refers to Tairitsu.
