Previously on Doerai: Dawn of the Darkness...
"Double Ojamajo Supernova Serenade!!"
Doerai was nailed firmly with the attack, and faltered, cursing.
Everyone else, with the exception of a grinning Torikki, just stared on with both shock and disbelief.
"No... way..." Akemi squeaked, covering her mouth.
"Hey there..." one of the figures stated cheerfully. "You four look like you had fun..."
"We missed a lot..." the other stated, giggling. "But that's gonna change now, for sure."
The smoke cleared, revealing none other than...
"Yuki-chan?! Doremi-chan?!"
Yuki beamed, but coughed, dusting off her dress, which was covered with ashes.
"Hey... Turns out we're not really dead... Wow..."
As if on cue, a dove flew by, and the two girls smiled brightly at the creature.
"Thank you, Akatsuki-kun..." Doremi whispered, nodding.
"Thank you, Saiki-kun." Yuki whispered as well, closing her eyes. "I'm sorry for not believing in you."
The dove cooed, disappearing in a bright white light.
The two girls turned back to the battle, pulling each other close.
"So..."
They both winked.
"What'd we miss?"
(Footage: As the opening begins, we can see a crystal-colored bird flying across the screen.)
Habata itara modoranai to ittte
(You say if you could fly, you would never come back)
(Footage: Nick and Akemi can be seen on the edge of the Burned Lands, looking into the sky towards the Floating Islands.)
Mezashita no wa aoi, aoi ano sora
(You aimed for that blue, blue sky)
(Footage: Nick stares towards the heavens, wondering if Yuki and Doremi are doing okay. During the instrumental, we pan into the sky. After about a second, Hitomi and Utau cross paths, and the Doerai: Dawn of the Darkness logo appears on the screen.)
"Kanashimi" wa mada oboerarezu "setsunasa" wa ima tsukami hajimeta
(You've yet to remember "sadness", just now began to grasp "pain")
(Footage: Hitomi can be seen walking forward with Torikki happily trotting by her side.)
Anata e to daku kono kanjou mo ima "kotoba" ni kawatte iku
(Even the feelings I held onto for you are just now turning into words)
(Footage: Torikki looks up at Hitomi with a sad look on his face. This causes Hitomi to giggle before reaching down to pet Torikki.)
Michi naru sekai no yume kara mezamete
(As you awaken from the dream of an unknown world)
(Footage: Doerai looks out over his lair, laughing softly. He then jams his staff into the ground and turns it, causing a dark energy to blind the screen.)
Kono hane wo hiroge tobitatsu
(Spread your wings and take off)
(Footage: Akemi looks skyward, her hands joined in a prayer. She then throws her arms out and smiles, and sparkling angel wings sprout from her back.)
Habata itara modoranai to ittte
(You say if you could fly, you would never come back)

(That blue, blue sky)
(Footage: Cut to Nick, Akemi, Hitomi, and Utau looking up towards the Floating Islands. Quick jump cut to them racing towards the islands, their hands all intertwined, and Doerai watching from afar as the song ends.)

Doerai: Dawn of the Darkness
Story Created: November 9th, 2008
Summary: AU. In the end, there is only a new beginning. The story continues as Nick and his friends go through another set of experiences... And what of the others?
On Today's Episode: As the final battle rages on, Nick's perfectly convinced that he cannot and will not lose. With Yuki's as well as Doremi's surprise show-up in the battle, the tables seem to be turning... But unfortunately, it's far from over... But then, Utau...
Authoress' Notes: This time, I will do the odds and Nick-kun will do the evens! Wai~
Disclaimer: ...Shouldn't it be obvious by now we don't own anything? (by S.P.D. Gold Ranger: EXACTLY, Yuki-chan.)

Phase 16: Sparkling in the Winter Snow
"You may as well give it up now, Doerai!!" Nick exclaimed, his friends by his side. "There's no way in HELL that you're going to win now!!"
"You really are too stubborn for your own good," Doerai shot back. "You don't know when it's futile to continue fighting, do you?"
Nick just nodded. "I NEVER lose hope, not even when it's hopeless!! You should have figured that out by now, Doerai!!"
"And now that we're back in action, there's no way we're going to let Nick-kun lose this one!!" Yuki exclaimed, joining hands with Doremi.
"Akebono!! Daybreak!" Doremi exclaimed, clapping her hands as a pink ball of energy formed.
"Akebono!! Beginning!" Yuki exclaimed, clapping her hands to form her traditional twilight energy.
The two energies formed as the two witches pulled each other close, glowing with a rainbow light.
"We won't let negai become mekura, even if that means throwing it all away... In truth, we just want naresome to shine through!"
They threw out their hands, clenching onto the other.
"Double Ojamajo Rewritten Masquerade!!"
An immense burst of light shot forward and slammed into Doerai, the damage evident.
"I'm through playing around with you, brats," Doerai stated quite simply. "I believe it's time for you to die."
With that, Doerai dipped below the clouds, leaving Nick and Akemi confused.
"Where'd he go?" Akemi wondered.
"Stop being a coward, Doerai!!" Nick exclaimed.
As if to answer Nick's statement, Doerai popped up right behind them, his staff at the ready.
Akemi noticed this just in time to shove Nick away from the impending attack.
As the emerald witch recovered, he spun around and surrounded himself with a bright energy aura.
"Take THIS, freak!!!" Nick exclaimed, charging forward with the speed of a runaway freight train and slamming into the dark prophet, knocking the wind out of him. Akemi took this moment to prepare her own attack.
"The frost-covered determination of a shy girl, take this!! Ojamajo Crystal Cannon!!"
The frost-blue energy shot from Akemi's delicate palms and froze Doerai in his place, giving Nick the opportunity to fly into the air and come back down with a mighty overhead punch that knocked Doerai below the clouds and back towards the planet below.
"After him!!!" Nick exclaimed as all six of the supercharged teenagers shot down to where Doerai had fallen, only to notice that he was floating over a volcano... which had something oddly familiar climbing up it.
"It has begun!!!" Doerai proclaimed.
THAT was when Yuki noticed what was climbing up the volcano.
"The Destroyer?!!" Yuki exclaimed.
"No... we're too late!!" Nick noticed.
"Welcome to the end of the world," Doerai proclaimed as the Destroyer sunk into the volcano, causing a massive uproar as the volcano erupted in all directions, covering the land with volcanic ash and magma.
The area around them all began shaking as the planet began to break up under the force of the eruption.
"You are too late to stop this world's destruction," Doerai stated matter-of-factly. "So what will you do now?"
"It may be too late for our world, Doerai," Nick shot back, "but if we go down with this world, I will damn well take you down with me!!!"
"Such bold words," Doerai noted, readying his staff for battle.
Nick quickly joined hands with Yuki.
"To the beings of hope..." Yuki chanted.
"To the beings of spirit..." Nick continued.
"Together with the ones that reside between light and dark, gather into our own hands and dispel the evil with our purity!!" both Nick and Yuki chanted, letting their arms rest around each other while drawing their free hands back.
"Double Ojamajo Twilight Whirlwind!!"
Doerai blocked the attack, though he still took some damage. "Insolent Ojamajos!!!" the dark prophet growled, unleashing multiple dark energy bursts that were easily dodged.
Akemi did a few graceful flips to avoid the attack before flying over and joining hands with Yuki, the twilight witch immediately getting the message.
"Arashi!! Tempest!!" Akemi exclaimed, clapping her hands so crystal energy formed in between.
"Arashi!! Storm!!" Yuki exclaimed, forming her usual twilight energy between her hands as well.
The two girls joined hands, both glowing with an impossibly bright sky blue aura, with flickers of sapphire.
"When the seasons become calm, when bankan becomes renbo... That's when we stand up to kyogen!!"
The two of then twirled, pulling each other close as if in dance.
"Double Ojamajo Candid Soprano!!"
Doerai couldn't do much but scream in agony as he was nailed by a powerful aura blast.
"My turn!! Ready, Torikki-kun?" Hitomi asked, to which Torikki just nodded.
"Phoenix Flare!!!"
"Phoenix Ring!!!"
Doerai was forced back even further as the ruby-red energy attacks slammed into him.
"STOP TOYING WITH ME!!!" Doerai exclaimed, officially at his limit. The dark prophet charged forward, grabbing Akemi by her shirt collar and attempting to slam her into the volcano.
"Let go of her, Doerai!!!" Nick shot back, flying towards Doerai like greased lightning and spin-kicking him in the head, allowing Akemi to break free and knock Doerai away with a powerful ballet kick.
Nick took this chance to grab Doerai by the arm, spin him around, and fling him into the erupting volcano.
Nodding to the others, Nick and the girls flew into the volcano.
"Why is it so hot in here?" Utau had to ask.
"And for that matter, why are we not burning up?" Yuki wondered. "We ARE in the middle of a freaking volcano!!"
"It's gotta be the power of the Crystals," Akemi noted. "The crystals must be protecting us."
"Stay sharp..." Torikki noted, tensing up. "We're nowhere near done yet..."
"How right you are, stupid tanuki," Doerai's voice proclaimed.
"Don't you DARE call Torikki-kun stupid!!!" Hitomi snapped, turning towards the source of the voice. "Phoenix Flare!!!"
Hitomi was shocked to see that her attack had just bounced off of Doerai... or rather, an energy barrier that Doerai had set up.
"No more fooling around, brats!!" Doerai proclaimed. "It's time I stopped holding back on you!!"
"I could say the very same thing, Doerai!!" Nick challenged, his aura rapidly increasing.
"Let us begin, then!!!" Doerai exclaimed, unleashing a series of dark energy ripples that Nick was just barely able to dodge.
Nick countered with a rapid Ojamajo Arrow of Light, but was shocked to see Doerai easily bat it away.
"Is that the best you've got, accursed boy?!" Doerai exclaimed, holding his hands out. "Try this on for size!! Trans Volans!!"
Nick gasped in surprise, shifting into guard stance in order to block the ring of darkness that shot for him at an alarming speed.
"Not... too shabby, Doerai," Nick commented, quickly joining hands with Yuki.
"Flow!! Ryudou!!" Nick exclaimed, clapping his hands to form a ball of emerald energy.
"Flow!! Michishio!!" Yuki exclaimed, clapping her hands to form a ball of twilight energy.
"When a kusabana blooms into a hanabatake, we'll watch as the hanazakari becomes beautiful to look at!!"
Both Nick and Yuki were surrounded by a powerful silver aura, and Doerai was surrounded by a sharp looking shield of crystal-clear diamond.
Both Nick and Yuki smiled mischievously.
"What sorcery is this?!" Doerai exclaimed.
"Double Ojamajo Shattered Capella!!"
The shield exploded around Doerai, the shards of light energy severely damaging the dark prophet.
"Wretched little brats!!!" Doerai screamed, his staff glowing with an ominous light. "Now taste my power!! Lumen Nebulae!!!"
Nick was ready this time, channeling his energy and expanding it into a shield that protected himself and his friends from Doerai's attack.
"Seriously, Doerai, you're going to have to do better than that!!" Nick challenged.
"You want me to step it up, then? You asked for it, brat!!" Doerai shot back, channeling dark energy into his hands.
"Now be swallowed by the darkness!! Malicious Death Ball!!!"
The massive sphere of darkness shot for Nick at an alarming speed. The emerald witch stood his ground, ready for the attack...
...only to see it stop short of him and fly towards Akemi.
Nick gasped in shock, charging in front of the crystal witch and holding his arms out. The attack connected, breaking through Nick's guard and dealing quite a toll of damage.
"NICK!!!" Akemi screamed.
"Not bad, freak," Nick stated, still standing his ground despite the damage he'd taken. "But I'm still here. I won't go down that easily."
Akemi sighed in relief and draped her arms around Nick, glowing with a bright blue light.
"If you wish, brat," Doerai growled. "It's your funeral."
