During the last chapter:
Rey was sitting down, waiting for the weapon to arrive. He then heard something moving inside, meaning that the gift was almost done, and he couldn't wait.
----------
Rey was tapping his fingers on the floor, sighing as he was waiting and waiting and…waiting. But then, a dark smoke came out under the orb, forming a figure of what seemed to be a young woman. When the forming was complete, the woman had long, wavy brown hair with blue eyes. She was created with a white dress on, just to cover her. When she opened her eyes, she looked around, wondering where she was.
"Are you the one Rau talked about?" asked Rey as he walked toward her. The girl remained silent, but still backed away. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you," Rey assured as he continued to walk towards her. The girl didn't trust him though so she continued to walk forward, until she tripped backwards because she seemed weak. Rey hastily picked her up. She remained silent.
"Are you alright?" he asked. The girl replied by nodding. "Do you at least have a name?" Rey asked again, the girl this time replied shook her head a 'no'.
'This is the present Rau gave me?' Rey thought bitterly, he expected someone as powerful as Rau would give him something better. "Well," he sighed, "I guess I'll name you…Arisa Madain." The girl looked up at him, but didn't say a word. "So…you're okay with that name?"
She didn't reply, so he guessed that she was okay with it. Rey looked at her arm, as if she was holding something. 'What's that?' he thought as he picked up the item, but Arisa quickly pulled away. She didn't want him near it. 'Is it a…doll?' Rey continued to ask himself, since talking to Arisa would be pretty much pointless. The doll looked like…Arisa. It was like one of those 'collectors dolls'.
"Anways," Rey decided to say since it was getting pretty quiet. "Act as if you're a student in this academy. Your mission: Destroy Kira and Cagalli Hibiki."
Arisa stared, but she was listening.
"Just be careful around them, they shouldn't be taken for granted. They have the spirits of Stellar Loussier and Shinn Asuka." Rey continued as he crossed his arms. Arisa nodded and held her doll close as she opened a portal and walked into it. She was gone. Rey sighed, really, what kind of weapon was she?
----------
Lacus was in the library at exactly 1:15 in the morning. She was tired, but she wanted to continue looking for information from the past. 'Ugh! There's nothing here! I checked every book and there is still nothing!' she screamed in her mind. She pounded the shelf in a hard away, making books fall out. Then, as if her prayers were answered, a book titled; 'The Dark Past' by different students. "What's this?" Lacus asked herself as she picked it up. She flipped through the pages and came across the first entry, by: Miriallia Haww. Lacus saw pictures of…Murrue, Mwu, Natarle and…nearly all the teachers in the academy! Lacus guessed that Miriallia was a student, or friend, of them. She looked like she was in kindergarten. She read one of the statements:
"I remember what you told me before you left, 'I'll come back' you said in a whispered tone. I smiled and nodded, then you were gone. You were one of the students that was taken by the darkness. I was devastated, but…right now I'm okay. I know that you're watching over me. Wherever you are…"
"What's this?" Lacus asked as she continued to flip through the pages. 'What kind of book is this?' She continued to look through the pages and came across another entry.
"This is my last day in the academy. Well, first year anyways! Tolle, you better be happy for me! Just kidding. Anyways, Shinn and Stellar, aka the hottest couple at school, are somehow gone! I asked Dearka, and he didn't know what happened either. Oh, and Dearka and I are dating now! You better not be mad! Anyways, beside Shinn and Stellar's disappearance, I noticed that Meer and Heine are missing too! What's up with the academy? I asked Mr. Clyne, and all he said was 'classified.' That's so weird…well, he said that they transferred or something. They were so cute together, and Heine and Meer were good people too. Also Yasuhiko, he did teach me everything I know! I hope I meet them again."
"This must be recollections of past students, after the 'incidents'." Lacus decided as she placed the book back into the shelf. "What a sec!" she exclaimed. Lacus forgot that she was looking for information about the past! This has to be one! 'It is the only clue that I have…' she thought as she placed the book into her bag. Lacus was ready to walk out until…
"Hello Ms. Clyne." said a voice. Lacus turned around, and her eyes widened. "Mr. Mwu?"
"Yup," Mwu replied with a grin. "What are you doing in your fathers' office with his most prized possession, the cloak?" he asked.
"Well-I-Uh…" Lacus didn't know what to say, all she knew was that she was busted!
"You're coming with me little missy!" Mwu said as he grabbed Lacus by the wrist. Lacus tried to pull away, but he was too strong.
'Argh! I'll never give this book to Cagalli!' Lacus thought as she continued to pull away. After some thinking, she grinned. A pink aura surrounded her as she thought of a way to escape, 'Illusions!'
Mwu started to feel Lacus's wrist fade away, so he quickly turned around and saw…3 Lacus'! All in a cross armed- grinning position.
"So, Mwu, which is the real Lacus?" The three pink haired girls teased.
"Uh…" Mwu stuttered because he hated that trick!
"Good luck finding me!" the Lacus' laughed as they went into different directions in the hallway.
"Man! Now I have to chase them," Mwu groaned as he went into the left corner of the halls.
"You're the real Lacus!" Mwu exclaimed as he grabbed one of the girls from behind.
"HA HA!" The 'fake' Lacus said as she poofed away. It did leave a note saying, 'Ha ha! Try again!'
"ARRGH!" Mwu groaned in frustration. He then went into the center hallway and jumped on the other Lacus. The Lacus laughed and poofed away, leaving a note that said, 'Wrong again!'
'Heh, now only one Lacus is left!' Mwu thought with an evil grin. He went to the right hallway and looked around. It was pretty dark.
"You can't find me! You can't find me!" Lacus sang as she was somewhere in the darkness.
"I will find you! And I'll take that book you have!" Mwu shouted as he continued to look around. It was no use, it was too dark.
"Why are you so desperate for the book?" Lacus asked.
"Because you must never find out about the past!" Mwu replied.
"Too bad, history is repeating itself. Cagalli and Kira need to know about the past so they could stop it." Lacus reasoned as she clutched to the handle of the bag. She wouldn't let Mwu take it.
Mwu didn't know what to say. Lacus was right! The darkness was coming back, and Shinn and Stellar are the only people who can stop it.
Silence was between them.
"How did you know I was here?" Lacus asked to break the silence.
"Top secret," Mwu replied as he sat on the floor tired because he had to chase the fake Lacus'.
"You don't have to tell me," Lacus sighed, "But…what do you know about Shinn and Stellar that we don't?"
"What makes you think I know?" Mwu grinned.
"Because in this book, I read an entry from Miriallia Haww, stating that she knew Shinn and Stellar personally." Lacus reasoned.
"And what does that have to do with me?" Mwu asked as he tried to follow the sound of her voice.
"It has something to do with you because there is a picture. The picture shows Murrue, Natarle, you, and the Miriallia person. Along with Shinn and Stellar. And it also says here in her entry that you and Murrue knew Shinn and Stellar personally." Lacus continued.
Mwu sighed, "Really? What does the entry say?" He saw Lacus sitting on one of the shelves of the wall. He silently climbed it.
"It said:
'Mwu told me that he talked to Shinn during the masquerade ball. He hasn't seen him either after that. I asked Murrue, who was a personal friend of Stellar, to tell me if she had seen her. No luck. I sighed, I was worried about the two of them! I mean…they were like my idols when I met them during kindergarten! Mwu said that he met Shinn in another school and Murrue met Stellar in another school too. I met them when Murrue had to baby sit me.'."
Mwu grinned, he was so close to Lacus. Lacus didn't notice that he was just beside her since she was reading the book. "Gotcha!" he shouted as he jumped on her. But…she disappeared, just like the other fake ones. "Was that a fake Lacus too?" Mwu asked himself as he scratched his head. Sighing, he jumped off the shelf and walked back to his room, disappointed that he couldn't stop Lacus.
----------
"Cagalli, wake up!" Lacus shouted as she shook her.
"What...?" Cagalli asked sleepily as she yawned and rubbed her eyes. What would Lacus want three in the morning?
"I got some info!" Lacus smiled as she handed her the book.
"Really?" Cagali exclaimed as she quickly grabbed it from her. She flipped through the pages and read random entries before sighing, "What is this?"
"Entrees from the past!" Lacus replied in a happy tone.
"Uh…" Obviously Cagalli didn't get it. Lacus sighed before explaining.
"People who witnessed events from the past made this book." Lacus explained.
Cagalli arched an eyebrow, "What does this have to do with Shinn and Stellar?"
"Read the entry: Miriallia Haww. She lost her boyfriend named Tolle to the darkness. And it seems that she had a relationship between Murrue, Mwu, Shinn, and Stellar!"
Cagalli's eyes widened, "Really?"
Lacus nodded. "It seems that Mwu and Murrue met Shinn and Stellar before they came to Genesis Psychic Academy."
"But…what I don't get it why the didn't tell us about the incident….even Natarle wouldn't tell us 'cause it's classified!" Cagalli muttered angrily.
Lacus shrugged, "I just don't get the whole relationship thing."
Cagalli clasped their hands together, "Tomorrow, we confront them! Make them tell what is going on and how they know Shinn and Stellar!"
Lacus smiled, "Alright. But right now, let's get some sleep!" Cagalli nodded before lying back into her bed. Lacus did the same thing.

Arisa looked around the empty halls, no one was awake.
'Arisa, you must find the reincarnations of Shinn and Stellar,' instructed a mysterious voice. Arisa nodded. The doll looked up at her as its eyes became red. The doll was controlling Arisa!
'Remember what Rau said, seek and destroy.' the doll continued to say.
"Find…destroy…" Arisa muttered as she continued walking down.
Tomorrow, that's when it will all begin.
