闇の悪夢 – Nightmares of Darkness
Entries 13 - 16
~XIII~
After everything was prepared for, I went into a slumber for a period of time until I could be 'reborn'. The heroes lived on with their "new lives" but as my lover has foretold me, the war did destroy that world of all sports. I was unable to help them at the time but I know we will be victorious.
I finally hatched into my new form as a blue Phoenix with a name inside my head: Gaardus. From there, Queen Idaina and King Magnus took care of me like another child but I was more worried of their son, "Alexa". I knew he and the others were reborn with their destined names.
After Alexa was cursed with the death mark, I had to try to see how I could find a way to remove it. But no matter what magic was used, the seal would not break apart. So instead, I gave him special training into fighting the nerbils, increasing his potential of courage and his will to fight. It was also the first time I revealed my identity to him but I also removed that memory as I was really not supposed to show myself until many years later on Olympia.
All of them grew into wonderful, fine gentlemen with their own unique powers mixed of water and light and their respective animals. I couldn't wait to train them on their transformation abilities as those powers will unlock their fullest potential.
When it was finally time to depart, the Magic Six were all in their early 20s (well the five of them were 21 or 22 years old or so roughly while Alexa was the youngest). We had several roadblocks on the way but we did get to Olympia eventually. One by one, they began to unlock their Suiei Senshi (Swimming Guardians) form.
However, with Alexa (and now Makoto too) not being able to transform…I simply do not understand. I do know that Alexa does not have the solar crystal but Makoto's case is rather unusual. He told me about it and I gave a diagnosis of magic. For a moment, I almost picked up something but my magic reacted, knocking us both over.
Something had to have happened during those 3 weeks…

The last few days here in Sportsbrooke have not been going too well so far:
We did manage to find some clues and evidence but they're still leading into more questions. However, we were fortunate (well more like unfortunate) to find a memory vial that belonged to this man named Yuuri Katsuki.
It turned out at one point during the three weeks, Alexa needed an ingredient; a tear of a lost first loved. He used his charms on Viktor and commanded him to break Yuuri's heart. Myself, Akashi Seijuro, and Rei confronted him at the Miracle Palace and he did slip that it was the only way to free Cosmos.
I realized that this teardrop was somehow a key to release my father…but still…nothing made sense.
After we returned to Sportsbrooke, Alexa vowed that he would punish all of us for what we've done to him. I have a feeling he's hiding something…he's keeping something under the wraps.
We also found out that Theagenes (now that his heart is a blank slate) was needed to pull the Dream Shaker out of the embedded rock. Eijun was also under Alexa's charms to turn Theagenes into a hero and after the task was done, he was given information from the Dark One about his family and friends' safety.
Tak insisted on retrieving the weapon but we managed to put him and his wife safe at the palace under the guards of the Vorpal Swords. I also have a feeling that this King did something to us as well.
We're all very devastated by the use of Alexa's dark magic but we know that the true Prince Julius is still lingering in there…he's waiting for us to save him.

Here are some notes of our journey so far that I managed to recover for you all want to see:
Chicken Temple = Collect the eight golden eggs to access the Sun Amulet Key
A massive tower filled with several nests of chickens and Pupununu Guards who turned out to be "droid-like" entities. There were 4 flights connected on an elevator but each of the senshi split off on their own into different routes:
· Makoto went North, Haruka went South, Nagisa went East, and Rei went West
· Rin went Northwest, Sousuke went Southeast, Momo went Northeast, and Nitori went Southwest
· At the top level were a group of twins with sidekicks (turned out to be holograms) that were threatening to kill Makoto. The fight lasted about 10 minutes until we found out it was an illusion.
· Sun Temple = Use the Chicken Eggs to get in and retrieve the Flame of Vulcanus. A man named Agon Kongo was also imprisoned there but Alexa and my father managed to rescue him.

I don't know what to say here…now it all makes sense. Too many things have happened and I'm just beyond pissed at the Darkness more than ever before!
During the last three weeks in El Dorado, Alexa struggled to keep himself sane but after a conflict with King Tak, Makoto's life was tethered to the Nightmare staff, making him the second concurrent apprenticed dark one!
It goes without saying that Mako-chan did some damages to get his revenge to Theagenes but Alexa used the memory vials to wipe all of our memories clean. Now it's all catching up in Sportsbrooke as Makoto summoned the past Dark Ones to swap places with those of the living.
Thankfully Makoto was acting all along but…he…
He took in with Alexa's place for the death mark after Alexa killed him with the staff of dreams, undoing the darkness in both of them.
But that didn't end there…now all of the boys are trapped in this alternate reality and I cannot access them! Meanwhile I'm stuck here in the void of time and space.
Because of that, I must tell you all the truth about yourselves and him:
You were born from the previous generation who enlisted you all to destroy the darkness once and for all. However, doing it though will result in nothing born or die…it's either everything ends or everything continues in war.
That man who banished you to that false reality…that's the one who I killed…and now I am at stake of my own destiny once more. I implore you…please save him…give him his best chance to start over with me because we once had true feelings for each other…like you, I must not give up on him…
