Summary: Sabrina focuses on a new game to win.
In the cottage, Sabrina laid on her bed as she was watching a trailer for a 2D fighting game on her tablet.
"The ultimate rocking experience!" A male voice announced. "Featuring fourteen hand-animated characters, fully voiced story mode, countless palettes, and unparalleled GGPO-based multiplayer netcode!"
The video game trailer showed two fierce female warriors battling each other in a side to side view with swift special moves and powerful blockbusters. The trailer popped up the rainbow-colored, stylized logo for a video game that named The X-Gems.
"The X-Gems! Download now!" A male voice said.
Sabrina gasped in awe with sparking eyes. She immediately grabbed her green Nintendo Switch console from her desk and started downloading the video game that was successfully loaded within seconds.
"Yes!" Sabrina cheered. "Game on!"
Sabrina hurried into the kitchen, where she grabbed a large bag of chips and six cans of sodas. She headed out into the living room and sat on the couch with the game console in her hands.
Then, Catalina came into the living room and sat next to Sabrina.
"What'cha playing, Sabrina?" Catalina asked.
"The high-ranking number one fast-paced, critically acclaimed 2D fighting game ever!" Sabrina replied excitedly. She showed the game opening on the console screen to Catalina. "X-Gems! I watched the trailer and downloaded it one hour ago."
"Well, have fun." Catalina said with a shrug. "I ordered the Space Patrol Nova movie in HD yesterday and I ain't missing it."
Catalina grabbed the remote with her tail and turned on the TV.
Sabrina looked down at the console screen and pressed the "A" button to select story mode. The story mode pulled up a character selection that showed a list of fourteen female characters.
Sabrina selected a teenage girl to be her character. The teenage girl has peach skin, long blue curly hair that reaches to her back, and green eyes. She wore a dark blue tank top with azure denim open vest, azure skin-tight shorts with white trim, and blue knee-high boots. She also wore a navy blue scarf that has five claw-like blades crossing around her neck. A description box narrated the teenage girl as an amnesiac character named Sapphire, who lost her memories and formed a symbiotic relationship with a sentient alien symbiote that fused into her scarf.
Sabrina instantly started playing Sapphire's story mode to fight her way to challenge Obsidian.
Sabrina has been gaming for hours all the way to nighttime. In the game, Sapphire already engaged in her first battle with a magic tessen-wielding kunoichi named Opal and defeated her with a special move. She then engaged her fight against a tech kid genius with magic-infused goggles named Topaz and defeated her with another special move. After two winning victories, Sapphire confronted a silent but deadly magic-infused lab experiment named Garnet in an interacting cutscene.
Catalina turned off the TV with the remote.
"Man, that Space Patrol Nova movie was really amazing. I can't wait for the second season of that anime." Catalina said with a yawn. She turned to Sabrina, whose eyes glued to the screen. "Good night, Sabrina. Don't stay up too late."
"Yeah, good night." Sabrina said.
Catalina got out of the couch and headed to her bedroom.
As Sabrina kept her eyes glued to her game console, Sapphire engaged into a fierce fight with Garnet and easily defeated her in a perfect KO-ed special move.
The next morning, Sabrina continued playing Sapphire's story mode for more opponents while eating chips and drinking soda cans at the same time. By controlling Sapphire, she engaged and defeated a treasure hunter Ruby, a bat-winged nurse Aquamarine, and a psychokinetic metahuman Diamond with super combos and special moves.
After successfully defeating five female opponents, Sapphire finally made to the final boss. She entered the spacious elevator of the towering skyscraper, making it ascend upwards. After a lengthy ride, the elevator stopped at the tower's apex, where she confronted a female human-disguised alien Obsidian.
"Yes!" Sabrina cheered. "After six perfect wins, I've finally made it to the boss battle!"
Sabrina affixed determinedly at the screen, where Sapphire engaged Obsidian in a fierce battle. Once the battle begins, Sabrina played intensely as she kept losing and replaying the boss battle on her game console.
As several days and temperate seasons went by, Sabrina kept replaying the boss battle as many times as she can to win. But her constant gaming led her replaying the game all the way into an advanced future, where Sabrina has grown into an adult.
As the final boss battle began for the three thousandth time, Obsidian unleashed an endless array of black skull-shaped energy bolts that was flying in towards Sapphire, who was both dodging and getting hit as the same time that brought half health on her health bar. Sabrina striked back with Sapphire running at extremely fast speed as her scarfed alien symbiote rapidly slashed Obsidian with his blades that brought her halfway on her health bar. Obsidian retaliated by transforming into her true alien form as a giant ghostly being that is equipped with six arms. She then projected black energy balls towards Sapphire all at once, which was affecting Sabrina's health bar in a worse rate.
"Oh no, you don't!" Sabrina said with a devilish grin. "I ain't going down that easily!"
Sabrina pressed the buttons rapidly, allowing Sapphire to counterattack with a powerful blockbuster. Sapphire sprang up high in the air and her scarfed alien symbiote enlarged his arms into giant clawed fists as he released a flurry of rapid punches several times and delivered a final punch that knocked Obsidian out in a total KO.
"Yes! I finally did it! Take that, Obsidian!" Sabrina beamed.
Sapphire ultimately emerged triumphant and claimed possession of Obsidian's artifact.
"Ooh, what wish is she's gonna make?" Sabrina wondered.
After much thought, Sapphire made her decision to destroy the artifact instead of wishing her lost memories back. She believes that it's time to move on, even if her lost memories will return on her own. In the end, Sapphire and the alien symbiote watched the sunset together with a smile.
"Wow, what an ending." Sabrina said. She saved her game file and returned to the main menu. "Now, on to the next character."
