Authors's note: Ok guys, this is the fifth chappy. In this chappy and up to the ?nth one (I think) it will be in a form of a series of flashbacks and interludes of what happened 4 years ago.
I really do hope you guys will like it.
Yay! It's the fourth one...
Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice, Higuchi Tachibana does.

---------------------------------------------- - change of scene
Mikan's batch-14 years old
Tsubasa's batch-17 years old
Youichi-7 years old
Well then...
Fire Away...
-restored, improved and lost tangerine-
This was her ingenious plan.
Mikan lifted her hands into the air, as if she was summoning someone or something really powerful.
"I summon my Alice, do as I command. Purify the souls of these slumbering despicable individuals." she commanded as little energy balls began to hover above the heads of the enemies.
The little energy balls absorbed the evil inside the enemies.
Just to make sure that these people will do well, she used her Change of Heart Alice.
"Heart of Darkness, change into Pureness, my will be done, Change of Heart."
"Even though I've purified your souls, you guys will remain in this deep slumber for two long week." she said as she looked at the unconscious forms lying scattered at the Northern forest.
(She used her Alice to CHANGE the members of the Anti Alice Organization. She gathered all the evil inside their hearts and minds. She banished the pride and wickedness inside these people.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As she exited the forest, she saw the massive damage that was done to the whole Academy.
Glasses fragments from the broken windows are shattered everywhere.
The gates were knocked down.
Tall trees were knocked down too.
The grounds were either trampled or filled with huge holes.
Half of the forest was destroyed.
Even Mr. Bear's little hut was smashed.
The lake that was admired by everyone for its clear water was now filled with grime and filth. (Eeewwww...totally disgusting.)
The buildings were either burned or nearly in ruins down to pieces.
Even her favorite Sakura Tree was burned down to ashes.
"Ooohhh quite a damage done in here." she said as she looked around the place.
"I have a better idea and way on fixing this mess up." she added as she giggled like a young child.
Once again used her Alice.
The whole Academy was enveloped by a white mist, for the third time.

After 120 minutes the mist slowly disappeared, revealing the surroundings of the whole Academy.
The chaotic-place look the Academy had a while ago has been completely changed into a majestic, elegant and peaceful school for elite students.
The Academy looked more pleasurable and luxurious with the additional touch of Mikan's Alice.
Let's look at the changes...

What the...
The place was three times larger that it was before.
The forest was restored and additional specie of plants and animals can be found there too.
It became more like a sanctuary; a haven for the very beautiful surroundings and sceneries that was added to the Academy.
The school buildings look more like some five-star hotels.
The buildings were completely made of Pyrex-glass.
The floorings were covered by granite and marble tiles.
There were escalators, walkalators and elevators instead of the usual boring stairs.
The classrooms were really huge and were fully air-conditioned and for each and every desk a laptop is situated for the students to use.
The dormitories were like condominiums, especially the rooms.
An en-suite bathroom was added too, in every room at the dormitories.
The Central Town had some changes too.
Malls with the coolest shops and boutiques were added to the ever so popular Central town.
Movie houses, disco bars and restaurants became present at the said place.
Shopping centers and arcades became present as well.
Now who wouldn't want to stay at this haven-like Academy.?
"Hmmm, I think that it's about time that I should transport everyone back here, now that it's already safe here."
Suddenly, everyone who were in the safe house, were teleported back to the Academy to their surprise and amusement.
"What the----? We were in the safe house a while ago, weren't we?" someone asked.
Everyone was gathered at the Academy grounds, confused and shocked of what had just happened.
Them, being at the safe house a while ago and now teleported in a flash back at the Academy, which looked kinda different.
Some gasped and some were thrilled while looking around at the Academy surroundings.
"Hey, it seems that something's different here." someone said.
"What the--- the whole Academy looks all normal and fine after the attack and hey it seems that the place looked grander." Ruka said as he looked around in amazement and at the same time in disbelief too.
"It looks more elegant and luxurious. What the heck happened in here? Who did this? Moreover, how the heck did that person did all this in just a flash?" Sumire wailed in confusion and at the same time in astonishment too.
"This was all done by our very own tangerine." Mr. Narumi told them.
"Huh?" some of them said.
"What tangerine?"
"Who?"
"He's referring to strawberries." Natsume said nonchalantly ignoring some gasps and side comments. 'Mikan, strawberries, where are you now? I'm worried sick. '
"She did... all this... after... fighting... the enemies... all by... herself..." Hotaru said as tears started to flow endlessly from her amethyst eyes.
Yuu went over to her and being the good friend he is, he comforted her.
"Hotaru, she will be alright for sure. Stop crying. I'm sure you'll see her later on." Yuu said.
"Who knows what happened to her afterwards? I shouldn't have let her go after them in the first place and now I'm not even sure if I'm gonna see her again." She added as she cried and cried.
"Don't worry Ms. Imai; the Universal Alice does not decrease the life of its wielder. I'm pretty sure that Ms. Sakura can handle things by herself." Mr. Jinno told her in an assuring manner. 'I'm pretty sure that you're alright Ms. Mikan Sakura, everybody's waiting for you.'
"But, she must have been very weak and worn out by now, for she used her Alice for almost the entire day and she's not even familiar with her Universal Alice. How can you say that she will be fine huh? Don't you care about her? Damn you people!" Hotaru she shouted while crying.
Mr. Narumi and her older brother rushed to her side to comfort her.
"Hotaru, please calm down." Mr. Narumi said.
"Please, Hotaru-chan, calm down. I'll help you find her." her brother said as he pulled her into an embrace.
"Arigatou...sob...Mr.Narumi...sob...and...sob...Oni-chan...Sob..." she said as she snuggled to him closely and embracing her brother more tightly.
Mr. Narumi asked the others to help them in searching for Mikan.
Everyone agreed, even the teachers helped them.
"Mikan? Mikan?" Everyone was calling out her name as they roamed around the entire Academy in search for her.
"Mikan, where are you?" someone was calling out for her.
As for Natsume, he really wanted to look for Mikan but he was tasked by Mr. Narumi to look after Youichi at the nurse's office.
He had no choice but to watch over him and wait until he wakes up.
Youichi was sleeping soundly and was dreaming of Mikan.
-dream-
"Yamerou! (Stop it!)" She said in a thundering voice as the ground started to shake violently.
Everyone was surprised by the sudden earthquake and they were even more stunned when they looked up to see who shouted in a very frightening towering voice.
There, they can clearly see Mikan, floating in mid-air and surrounded by a flaming red aura. They were stunned to see her alive without any trace of injury and bloodstains.
"Mi-Mikan, you're back." Natsume said weakly as he tried to stand up.
"Unbelievable." The teachers said in chorused.
They were so amazed and perplexed by this, even our resident cold man, Persona.
'What the---? But how the heck?" were his thoughts during that time.
"Stand back or I'll kill this boy." the masked enemy who was standing on top of a tree branch and was holding Youichi threatened her.
"Iie, you can't do that." Mikan said as she got close to him and snapped her fingers.
Immediately the rifle quickly dissolved into thin air.
"Wha- What did you do?" the masked man said in disbelief as he accidentally dropped Youichi.
Mikan immediately caught the scared Youichi.
"Yo-chan, don't worry. Sleep and everything will be alright." Mikan said calmly as she smiled and embraced him.
She levitated Youichi into Mr.Narumi's arms and then she healed all their wounds.
"Natsume, Mr. Narumi, I'll teleport you guys and everyone here at the Academy to the safe house." she told them as she finished healing them.
"Demo, Mikan-chan." Mr. Narumi said
"I'll handle these thugs by myself. Shinpai na. Ja ne." she said as she gave them a reassuring smile and she snapped her fingers.
-end dream-
"One-chaaaannnnnn!" Youichi shouted as he woke up and Natsume who was daydreaming about Mikan was startled by this. (So you're thinking about her, huh?)
"Youichi, calm down." Natsume told him.
"Mikan ne-chan, she saved me. Where is she? What happened to her? I want to see her." he told Natsume with pleading eyes.
"I don't know, Youichi. We were just teleported here in the Academy by her a while ago and right now some of them were looking for her." he replied to the cute little demon caster.
"Oni-chan, let's look for her too, please. I know you're worried sick about her and you want to look for her so badly." he pleaded once more.
"Sure, but do you think that you can manage?" Natsume asked him.
"I'm not injured or anything, Oni-chan, so don't worry. I'm worried about Mikan ne-chan, so please let's go." the cute little demon caster said as he pulled Natsume's hand and they went out of the room. (Oh, Natsume go look for her.)
The two went to search for Mikan.
They went to every single place they knew Mikan would go to, but unfortunately they can't find even a single strand of her brown hair.
They even went to Mr. Bear's place, hoping that she would be there having a tea.
But to no avail, she was nowhere to be found.
"Darn it, where could she be?" Natsume muttered impatiently as they searched for her in the deepest and darkest part of the Northern forest. (Don't lose your patience neko-natsu.)
Suddenly, they stopped their tracks when they heard a very lovely voice singing out of nowhere.
Natsume and Youichi followed the beautiful echoing singing voice.
someone singing...
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day, is as if I play apart
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I can not fool
My heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I have to
Hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
who I am inside?
There's a heart that must
Be free to fly
That burns with a need
To know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflections show
who I am inside?
The voice led them to very beautiful lake at the heart of the Northern Forest.
Who knew whatsoever that a very majestic scenery can be found in this mysterious forest?
"Huh? Where are we?" Youichi said in a cute manner. (You're so totally kawaii.)
They haven't noticed that it was already nighttime until they saw the majestic reflection of a full moon at the lake.
Through the clear lake, a silhouette can be seen leaning at a Cherry Blossom tree on the other bank of the lake.
(Who owns that enchanting voice? When will they find Mikan? Or will they ever find her?)
