Bethany peeked out her door and smiled, happy to see all the Elves, Lemiel and Tettia all running around together and having fun. "See, I told you that everything would be okay Mother. They'll be fine, and the Devil will be destroyed before you know it" a gentle and warm voice said from behind her. The young woman smiled and turned to see a small girl who was glowing with golden light from head to feet. "I know dear. Thank you for staying by my side HOPE. I don't think I could have shown them everything without you here" Bethany replied to her daughter. HOPE walked up and wrapped her arms around the Yuki's middle, "of course I was here for you, my whole purpose is to lift people's spirits. I hope I was able to do so for them as well" The HOPE said, looking from her Mother out at the laughing Elves and humans.

Bethany returned her daughters hug, "I believe you did, especially to Patry, that boy needed you more than anyone during this. He was so close to giving up, so close to believing that his life could only cause pain. But thanks to you, us, we were able to save him. We were able to save all of them. Now, they just need to find a way to save themselves" the Card Master said.

That night as everyone ate dinner, the atmosphere was much lighter than during the previous mealtimes. However, surprisingly, Bethany soon entered the Dining Room to join them. The chatter stopped as everyone stared at her. The Mage blinked, "what's wrong?" she asked in confusion. "Nothing's wrong it's just that this is the first time you've joined us for a meal" Licht replied with a smile. Bethany smiled and blushed, "yeah, well, I was kind of worried about how you'd see me if you saw my eating habits, especially with my Magic being so low all the time" she replied.

Everyone looked on in confusion, before reeling back in shock as the young woman devoured a whole chicken. "Um, sorry, when my Magic gets this low, my appetite becomes ravenous. I actually spent the last few hours asleep, trying to recover as much of my Magic as possible. Showing you all those clips, not to mention bringing you here drained me like crazy. Why do you think I had to keep going back to my room? I was trying to sleep off my Magic Exhaustion, but, no such luck. I need more than just sleep to recover.

Food also goes a long way to restoring my Magic. But to begin with, most of what I eat gets turned into Magic almost straight away, so I have to eat even more to actually become full" Bethany explained. "Oh, I get it. I've never really had that problem myself, since I was born with such a massive amount of Magic" Lemiel replied. Their host rubbed the back of her head sheepishly, "yeah, Moon-based Magic from my world does unfortunately act that way, so it's sometimes more trouble than it's worth" she replied. "Don't worry, we won't judge you for something like that" Fana replied with a smile. "Heh, thanks everyone. You know, I was hoping that even once that Devil is destroyed, maybe I could come and visit every-once-in-a-while. O-only if you all don't mind of course" Bethany said hopefully. "Sure!", "of course!", "visit whenever you'd like!", "We could show you around our village" these were just some of the things everyone replied with. The Moon-user beamed happily at making more friends with people she'd met from another world.

And she would make sure that she would not lose them.

The next day after everyone had had a goodnights sleep, courtesy of The SLEEP and DREAM Cards, Bethany prepared to send them all home. "Alright, time to keep my promise. Patry, please come here" she said. The young Elf walked towards the human Mage, stopping a bit away from her. The Moon Mage took a deep breath and held out her Staff, closing her eyes as she did. Suddenly a glowing white magic circle appeared on the floor under Patry's feet. "Power of the moon, hear my call. Set this Soul to reincarnate, into one William Vangence. As two Souls in one body, they will stop the Devil's story. With his memories and power intact, help him change the future's act. With this spell upon his Soul, reincarnate him the day he falls" As the last word was spoken, the young Elf felt a strange sensation go through him. It felt as though his Soul itself was heating up, only becoming warm though.

"Patry" Licht said in slight worry. As soon as it started, the strange feeling went away and Bethany stumbled slightly, her Magic Circle fading from under Patry's feet. The young Elf stumbled too, the feeling leaving him disorientated. Licht caught him, while Lemiel caught their host. "Eh, I'm okay, I've just never actually done that before, that's all. Or at least, I've only ever heard about it being done, and read about it in Magic Theory books, but I myself have never had a reason to Reincarnate someone, and the only two I've ever heard about doing that, did it to themselves on their deathbeds, so the Magic cost wasn't exactly an issue" Bethany replied, sounding out of breath as the human Prince sat her down anyway and Licht helped his younger friend to a seat. "Okay, that spell should have done it. Patry's Soul is now going to reincarnate into Williams body when he dies. Weather that is after the massacre that you fail to prevent, or due to old age, you and William will still share a body. And when he dies, you will too, able to meet your other friends again in the afterlife. Oh, and don't worry about the Devil's Reincarnation Spell if he ends up casting it. This Spell will cause you to reincarnate though it instead" Bethany explained.

"Thank you for everything" he said with a smile. The young woman chuckled slightly, "it was no trouble for me at all. Trust me. After having to deal with 53 children who are either trying to kill me or otherwise causing trouble that could seriously injure someone or worse, and then the other Guardian of the Clow Cards who was seriously trying to murder me at one point because he didn't want a new Master, then having to change all the Cards to be under my own Moon-based Magic- well, let's just say that this was a nice break after all of that" Bethany replied. She took a deep breath, "okay, is everyone ready to go home?" she asked. All the Elves and humans nodded. "Alright, stand right there!" Bethany said. Everyone arranged themselves in a group in the middle of the room where the Card Mage had just cast her Reincarnation Spell on Patry. She then took out a Card, "one of my originals" the young woman explained with a wink. "PORTAL! Open the way to send these people home!" Bethany called, tapping it with the head of her staff.

The Card glowed and a swirling vortex appeared in the middle of the room. "Wait, Bethany! Will we ever see you again!?" Tettia called, feeling like she was losing a friend. "Of course you will, now, hurry up and get going, your future is waiting for you" the young woman called, waving goodbye. Everyone called out goodbye's of their own, some with tears in their eyes, some without, but all knew this- they would never forget the woman who changed their lives no matter how many lives they lived. The humans and Elves then stepped through the portal, which closed behind them. Blinking at the sudden sunlight, everyone gaped in surprise, "we're right back where we started!" Raya exclaimed, "don't tell me all of that was just a dream?!" he demanded. Suddenly another portal opened up in front of him, though it was considerably smaller. A single piece of paper dropped out before the hole in space closed again. Slightly shocked, the Copy Mage grabbed the paper out of the air and looked it over, before turning to his friend and Leader.

"It's for you" he said, handing it over. Licht unfolded the note and read it out loud: "dear Licht, I realised that we never had our rematch before you left. You don't mind if I drop in for a little bit, do you? Bethany Yuki". Suddenly another glowing portal opened in space and Bethany stepped out of it. She smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry for this, but SWORD got quite angry when he realised I'd sent you back without having his rematch with you. Would you mind if we had it now?" she asked. Licht smiled, "not at all, if you wouldn't mind having SHEILD protect everyone else like last time Mrs Yuki?" he asked. The Card Mage smiled back, "not at all, and please call me Bethany from now on, okay?" she replied. Raising her Staff, Bethany called upon The SHEILD once more. Everyone else sat and waited eagerly for the start of the fight. 'I don't know which one to cheer for this time' Patry thought. Eventually he shrugged "go Licht! Go Bethany!" he called, everyone else cheering as well. Both Human and Elf took their stances, 'You ready SWORD?' Bethany thought. 'Of course I am, I asked for this, remember?" her child thought.

'Good point' she thought back. Both took a deep breath. Eyed each other up. Then attacked. They met each other in a flash of sparks.
