It's finally time for the Prism Queen Cup!
Everyone was already there besides Rizumu. Rizumu finally arrived with her dad and Hotaru. They walked to the group.
"Mornin' guys!" Rizumu greeted.
"Hey Rizumu!" Aira exclaimed. "Are you feeling better?"
"Of course!" Rizumu replied.
"Thank you for the concern." Ryutaro smiled. "The doctor gave the go signal."
"I ate too much in the hospital." Rizumu said with a thumbs up and a smile. "I put on some weight."
"You are so careless." Mion said as she looked away.
"If you get careless, I'll snatch the crown away from you." Rizumu said.
"You wish." Mion said. "Isn't that right, Aira?"
"Yeah." Aira agreed.
They all put their hands together. "Ready… Sparkling!" They pumped their hands up.
They suddenly looked to someone who was approaching. That someone was Chris Kaname… with Sonata Kanzaki. They just walked past the group.
"Well, that was a choking atmosphere." Leo mumbled.
"Aira…" Rizumu started. Aira looked at her with concern. "Lend me you Pure Crystal Tiara!"
Aira's face suddenly had a smile on it. "Sure!"
"Countless girls have competed for the right to enter the finals this year! Mion Takamine has defeated the incumbent Prism Queen, Karina Togashi, in the New Year Cup! We've seen countless rookies attain victories and rise through the ranks. We have some superb contestants here in the finals. Rizumu Amamiya, Aira Harune, Chris Kaname, Mion Takamine. My partner, the Prism Queen, will give a brief introduction."
Everyone was actually there, the Harune family, Ryutaro, Callings and every other person that the trio has met in the months that they've been together.
"Hi! I'm Karina Tachibana. My maiden's name is Togashi." Karina replied.
"I ask once again. Who do you think will win?"
Mion Takamine is in first place but Rizumu Amamiya has the highest personal best. Chris Kaname is on a class of her own."
"So, whoever can perform the Aurora Rising will win this tournament?"
"Not necessarily." Karina replied. "It's said that Mion Takamine has created an original jump for this tournament. It's not over 'till it's over."
"I suppose it is. Now, for our first contestant… Chris Kaname!"
Chris skated to the rink. "Chris Kaname is wearing the Pure Crystal Tiara, Pure White Wedding Dress and the Pure Crystal High Heels! This is the legendary outfit. Will she show us the Aurora Rising once more?"
Backstage…
"You know, I think I'm getting sick with all these 'pure' stuff." Hotaru joked.
"Haha… Same here." Leo agreed. They both laughed. They both stopped as the music started.
Chris started to dance. Chris skated around the rink in preparation to jump the Aurora Rising. She jumped the Aurora Rising but then… the aurora retracted and disappeared.
"Oh my! She failed to jump the Aurora Rising!" Everyone clapped despite this. Chris walked back.
"The aurora appeared… how could she have failed?" Kyoko asked herself.
"She scored… 6510 carats!"
"The whole crowd is in tears." Karina said.
Leo walked backstage in hope to see or hear what… how she failed. He ran as fast as his legs can but… he was too late. He saw Sonata walking away with Chris but Chris seemed reluctant. She was begging for her mom to stay… to see Rizumu once again. "Sonata!" Sonata indeed looked back but continued walking even faster now. Leo walked back to his friends in hope that fate would make something happen. Leo saw RIzumu and Jun and caught up with them. "Yo!"
"Hey Leo…" But then Serena and Kanon ran towards them.
"Rizumu!" Serena called out. "Kaname gave us a call. She said your mom is going back to Russia." She said as she gave the phone to Rizumu.
"Seems you beat me to tell the news but dang, I just saw them go out!" Leo said.
"You've got to stop mom! She's going back to Russia!" Chris pleaded. "Your mom has always loved you Rizumu. I know it!" Her line was cut when they entered a tunnel.
Rizumu put the phone down. "What are you waiting for? Go after her! If you leave now, you can still catch up with her." Serena said.
"It's alright." Rizumu said.
"What?" Serena, Kanon and Leo wondered why.
"I want to show her something." Rizumu said calmly.
"Then good luck Rizumu." Leo said as he walked away to the others. Serena and Kanon decided to go too.
"Now, it's time for Rizumu Amamiya's performance."
"Oh my." Karina gasped. "This was what Sonata Kanzaki was wearing when she performed the Aurora Rising."
She started her performance wearing what her mom did before.
"Hotaru… go to your dad." Leo smiled. Hotaru looked at him with a confused face but obliged. "Come on Rizumu. Let your heart fly."
She jumped the Aurora Rising Final. Everyone's mouths were agape and when the Aurora reached Jun. He yelled, "Universe!" Wings made of Aurora sprouted on Rizumu and she flew spreading the aurora wherever she went. It even reached Sonata on her drive to the airport.
"What on Earth?" Sonata asked herself.
Just then, Rizumu arrived. "Mom! Mom!" After that, everything disappeared into the Aurora and Sonata was left with Rizumu. "Look mom. I want to see you the Aurora's glow and my feelings for you! I want to tell you everything! I want you to know what life with dad was. I want to tell you all about my wonderful friends!" While she said these things, memories from her childhood up to now popped up within the Aurora. Rizumu flew back to the stage. "Soar! The Aurora Wings!"
"This was what her mom was after. This is the Aurora Rising's true form." Kyoko said.
"She's done it, the Aurora Rising! What?" Rizumu quickly left the stage in the middle of her performance.
"Dad!" Rizumu ran to him.
"What's going on Rizumu?" Ryutaro asked.
"We have to stop mom!" Rizumu demanded.
"What in the world is going on?" He asked.
"Not without me you're not!" Hotaru said.
"Let's hurry!" Rizumu said.
They quickly left after that. Their destination was the airport. There was a slight malfunction. Cows blocked the road causing a traffic.
"We're not going to make it." Ryutaro said.
"Rizumu!" Serena yelled from above.
"Look!" Hotaru pointed up. A private helicopter carried Kanon and Serena. "Hop on!"
"Hello. The Jounouchi Corporation sells good from Osaka to all around the world." Serena's dad promoted.
"It seems Rizumu Amamiya left right in the middle of her performance. The judges are deliberating the score."
"Thanks Serena." Rizumu said.
"If you want to thank me, stop your mom!" Serena replied.
"I have an announcement to make. The judges have come to a decision regarding Rizumu Amamiya's unfinished performance. Under competition rules, Rizumu Amamiya is hereby disqualified."
"Stop! You can't go!" Chris pulled her but couldn't stop Sonata. "Don't you feel sorry for Rizumu?" Chris had tears in her eyes. "Mom!"
"Mom!" Rizumu's distant voice called out. She ran to Sonata.
Chris smiled. "Mom, Rizumu's here." She let go of Sonata's arm.
Rizumu panted. "Please, don't leave me!"
Sonata didn't turn around. "It's too late."
"It's not too late!" Rizumu declined. "I know how you felt when you performed the Aurora Rising! I know you didn't hate me or dad! You loved us very much!"
"It was all an illusion." Sonata said.
"That's a lie!" Chris countered. Rizumu was surprised by Chris's defense. "I know that everyday you went to sleep, you would cry! You were thinking about Rizumu!"
"There's no going back now." Sonata said grimly.
"You must've suffered so much in those thirteen years. It must've been hard." Rizumu said. "I'll listen to all of it! I've had fun and happy experiences all those years. I've had sad and difficult times too." Everyone was catching up with Rizumu. "Let me tell you everything!"
"We'll never be a normal family." Sonata warned her.
"I don't care!" Rizumu replied. "We've been through more sad times than any normal family, but if you are with me, we'll have hundreds… no, thousands of happy times together!" Tears were forming in Rizumu's eyes as she said these lines. "We'll be better than any normal family!" She exclaimed. This brought tears to the once-orange haired girl. Realization has finally dawned upon her after thirteen years. She finally turned around and Rizumu ran to her and hugged her. "Don't leave me! Don't you dare leave me again!"
"I'm sorry Rizumu! I am so sorry." Sonata said.
Everyone cried at that time save for Chris, who was happy for the reunited mother and daughter and Hotaru, who was happy that his sister could be happy again and that their family will be whole. The loving embrace and sad but happy atmosphere stayed for quite a while.
"And now for our top seed, Mion Takamine!"
Leo was supposed to give Mion some words to pep her up but it wasn't really that necessary because apparently, her parents came to visit her. He smiled and decided that his words weren't needed. It was her parents' encouragement that would lead her to victory… he thought.
"Thanks mom dad. Just you watch, I will win this!" Mion said confidently to her parents. Her parents cheered her on. Her dad noticed the red headed coach walking away and called his attention.
"You come to talk to my daughter?" He asked not to intimidate but just plainly asking the question.
"Just wanted to give her some encouragement but it doesn't look like it is needed now." Leo replied as he walked to the blonde man.
"Ohhh, who is this Mion?" Her mother suddenly looked at Leo. "Is he your boyfriend?" She asked mockingly.
"M-mom!" Mion exclaimed. "We're not like that! He's just my friend and coach!"
Leo blushed a little before looking away. "S-She's telling the truth."
"Then why are you being so defensive?" Mion's mother asked.
"Come on honey." Mion's father started. "No need to mock the kids before the competition."
"Alright." Mion's mother replied.
"I'll be on my way then." Leo bowed and started to walk outside.
"Not before telling Mion what you were supposed to tell her." Mion's father stopped him.
"Fine." Leo groaned. "Mion… Do your best out there. If you don't, you're really gonna hear it from me."
Mion flashed him a thumbs up. "You got it coach."
"Mion Takamine's turn has finally arrived!"
"Give it your all Mion!" Wataru cheered.
Hibiki and Shou looked at him bewildered about what he said. Wataru just playfully chuckled it off while ribbing the back of his neck.
"She wearing the Pure Fresh Wedding Coord and her Star Necklace is shining on her chest." Karina suddenly giggled.
"What's so funny?"
"I-It's nothing." She reassured her co-announcer. "Go for it." She muttered.
Mion started her Prism Show. She jumped the 'Miracle Macchiato', and the jump she created to surpass the Aurora Rising, 'Beautiful World.'
Leo was amazed that Mion could've done such a wonderful job on creating a jump to surpass the Aurora Rising but she always was amazing.
"She did it! Mion Takamine has given us a spectacular performance!"
"She certainly deserves to be the next Prism Queen." Karina said. "That was a first-class performance! The Prism World could well revolve around her.
"Perfect." Jun said as a butterfly landed on his finger.
"Indeed." Leo agreed.
"She score… 10000 carats!? Full marks! She scored a perfect score! At this point, Mion is slated to win the Prism Queen Cup!"
"Well, that's a first." Leo smiled.
"It's finally time for our last contestant, Aira Harune!"
Kyoko and Leo were in her dressing room.
"Aira you've trained hard for this." Kyoko said.
"Right." Aira said.
"I understand now why I can't perform the Aurora Rising." Kyoko said. "It doesn't matter what other people do. You just need to do the best you can. I couldn't forget about the discord I had with my mom but that doesn't matter. I'll be happy for you to perform the Aurora Rising."
"Right." Aira replied.
"I'll buy you all the wonderful barbecue after the show!" Kyoko said with a smile.
"Hooray!" Aira cheered.
Leo mockingly coughed. "Barbecue, huh?"
Aira laughed half-heartedly as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Good luck and may the Skater Goddess bless you on your performance." Leo said.
"Thanks!" Aira said.
"Aira Harune has finally arrived!"
"She's wearing the Pure Premium Wedding Dress. Her Wedding Teardrop is shining on her chest." Karina said.
"Listen to this. Cheers for Aira Harune is flooding the halls."
"To the children… no, to those who love the Prism Show, Aira is truly a dream come true. She was just an ordinary girl a year ago, completely alien to the Prism Shows." Karina explained. "Now, she's standing on this huge stage as a finalist on the Prism Queen Cup. It's like a miracle has occurred right in front of our eyes!"
She started her Prism Show in pure happiness as she received the feelings from the audience. She jumped, 'Fresh Fruit Paradise!' and of course, 'Aurora Rising Dream!'
As she jumped it, everyone began to float.
"Woah, what the?" Leo started to stay upright. "This is a new experience."
"This is Aira's Aurora Rising?" Kyoko asked.
"No." Aira replied as she neared her President. "This radiance is what's in everyone's hearts! This is your dream!"
"This is my dream?" Kyoko asked.
"Now come on." Aira extended her hand. "Sonata is waiting for you."
"Sonata?" Kyoko took Aira's hand and she transformed into what she was years ago when she participated in the tournament.
"Come on Sonata!" Aira extended her hand to the orange-now-blonde haired girl. "Come on! Asechi is waiting for you!" Sonata took her hand and transformed into her younger form. "Come on!"
"Here we go Sonata!" Kyoko said.
"That's my line Kyoko!" Sonata mocked. Both performed the Aurora Rising.
"Rizumu! Mion!" Aira called out.
"Okay!" They both replied. MARs performed the Aurora Rising.
"Kaname! Serena! Kanon!"
"Coming!" Chris said.
"Let's do it!" Serena exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Kanon agreed. They transformed into their star outfits and performed the Aurora Rising.
"Come on everyone!"
Let's just say everyone did the Aurora Rising besides Coach Kei and well… our red headed coach, Leo. It never worked out with him for one reason to another.
"She's done it! The Aurora Rising Dream! The Aurora merged with our dreams! It has shown us the infinite possibilities of our dreams! She scored… Something's wrong. Everyone in the hall, please be quiet. The judges have an announcement to make."
A judge stood up. "We're terribly sorry." Mion already walked to the stage. "We have something to say about Aira Harune's performance. "The score we have given her has exceeded the maximum score. We shall present her score as 'score unknown'. "
The O.T.T. sign appeared on the screen. The audience didn't quite understand what was going on.
"Well now that's a first." Leo said surprised.
"Who won?"
"She said it exceeded the maximum…" Karina started.
"Does that mean?"
Mion took Aira's hand and raised it up relaying to everyone that Aira is the winner.
"Mion?" Aira asked.
"You are the winner." Mion replied as she let go of her hand. "Aira Harune!"
"Aira Harune won! She is now the Prism Queen for this year!"
Everyone cheered. Rizumu ran onstage and hugged Aira. "Seems you beat me again, congratulations Aira."
"Rizumu…"
"Why the long face?" Mion asked. "You beat me. You should be happy, or else I would lose face."
"Mion…" Aira smiled. "Yeah. Thank you everyone!"
"Seems I was wrong about one thing." Karina admitted. "The Prism World will revolve around these three girls."
"You've done it, Ms. President." Jun said. Kyoko looked at him.
"No, I didn't do anything." Kyoko admitted. "But Aira has taught us so much. She has taught us that finding the radiance and excitement In our hearts will make out dreams come true. No matter how hard it get, no matter how often we fall, the important thing is to never give up."
"Kyoko." Coach Kei walked to the woman. "Well done." She turned around and walked away.
Kyoko began to cry in happiness but quickly turned around when Jun looked at her.
"Happy ending." Jun said.
"A new Prism Queen has been born! Her name is Aira Harune!"
A/N: Hey guys, so the Aurora Dream episodes end there. Don't worry, I'll continue writing stuff after that and hopefully get Dear My Future in there. For now, this is the end... For now...
