"Die."
That was all she said, using her bow and arrow; she hit Otax through his chest. "And with this, I summon Darkness..." she spoke, with her leader and Throne's help – they made it. Even without Alexia. If it wasn't for the power of the Keyblades of the Warriors, they wouldn't have made it. They turned to Noman, Ellone and Ikki, smiled and embraced one another.
The ground shook beneath them and this happened long ago too. They were turning into statues and back to the form where they slept for over a hundred years and was then reincarnated as themselves – to accompany the Keyblade warriors. "We will miss you," said the dark-skinned apprentice, Luya, as she embraced every one of the Keyblade warriors; and she managed to catch a glimpse of Seraph – who held Noman's hand to her chest and kissed him on the lips. Throne, on the other hand embraced Ikki and Ellone. Though Ellone was sad, this cheered her up. At least they were no longer hidden in the darkness of Otax, the villain of the worlds.
It was as if everyone said "I love you" to each other. It felt beautiful.
No longer afterwards, Noman, Ellone and Ikki woke up, to find themselves no more on Otax's world – but instead, at the Siberian Fortress, where they received their weapons – all in common. The Keyblades. Their magician friends lined up in front of them – like statues. Seraph holding her bow and arrow, ready to shoot anyone. Luya, standing up brave and strong and Throne with his triton – looking like Neptune without the tail.
"Even though she's a statue now, I swear she's beautiful," Noman said and Ellone nodded, without words to speak. It was then that they heard sobs, and turned to their side to find Ikki – hugging Throne's statue, extremely sad. "Don't go!" Ikki was really sad and Throne pretty much was a great friend even though they had the total opposite personalities.
Opposites attract, and this was the main lesson they all learned in their long journey.
"So, what are the two of you going to do after this?" the leader, Noman, asked. They had sat in a circle, but unmoving from the sight of the statues of their friends.
"I will... I willl..." Ikki was starting to sob, and Ellone smiled. The blue-haired girl hugged the boy and whispered, "Continue." Ikki felt touched by her attempt to make him feel better and Ikki inhaled deeply, "I will ask Merlin to be his apprentice... And learn about more magic in Hollow Bastion."
Ellone patted him from behind and Ikki's tears fell to her shoulder, "It's alright to cry, it's hard to move on," and even if he was not used to being all emotional, he had to admit he missed Seraph and her short sentences. It was then that he joined Ellone's embrace and hugged both Ellone and Ikki. "I think I'll guard their statues," he said, almost too soft, but both Ellone and Ikki could hear him.
And amazingly, no one heard her, but she whispered it to herself, saying, "I want to look for Atron, and I will find him."
The three of them slept on the hard ground, still facing the statues of Seraph, Throne and Luya. Ellone was the first to wake up, but she knew she didn't want to disturb her friends. Noman was still peacefully sleeping and Ikki's eyes were... Swollen. Ellone smiled at her friends and sat up, to kiss the two on the cheek.
"I'll see you guys again, I promise," she spoke and walked away.
