Okay here's the last huge fight! I hope you're ready, cause it's gonna be...well...just read. "About Hope","Dreams are reborn over and over", and "Let's promise" all belong to AKB48.
Around that time the stage lit up with bright white lights as the others walked out. The next three songs would be the last of the night before the selection ceremony.
Iris looked over at the Gary Stus, who were getting word of Sage still attacking the city and need to be on guard. She wanted to be with them, she wanted to fight so bad. Then she looked into the crowd and found her mother's face. Iris then realized why she couldn't join the Gary Stu corps, her mother wouldn't allow it.
Her mother mouthed to do her best, though really she just wanted her to get in. Iris sighed and looked to her friends. Even if she had a mother like that, Yui and her friends would never be like that. The song began as the Gary Stus were forced to guard all perimeters of the concert.
"The stars that shine in the night sky, lie billions of years away." Brittany and Trent sang, circling around Yui.
"Even if the depths of despair, should cast an endless shadow." The white lights turned into a shifting rainbow.
"The truth will make itself heard, who shall be the one to receive," Iris and Yui sang, standing back to back of each other.
Marie leaned forward, noticing the change in atmosphere. It was almost reminiscent of how Starlights were before she and the others joined. It was almost like time had completely stopped and she was just breathless.
"These guys..." Emerald breathed.
"the message of light set adrift over the river of time?"
"People are born and die, our bodies don't last forever." Marina and Skyla sang, walking past each other.
"Those who rose back up from the ashes, give passion," Violet and a Sueronian with dark brown hair and red streaks and the Sueronian with white hair began.
"To the next generation!" Trent and Brittany finished.
"Dreams are like reincarnation like déjà vu, my distant memories keep coming back." Everyone was in such good synch with each other and played off each other so well.
Crystal giggled a bit.
"They looked just like we did when we were auditioning." She pointed out.
Emerald sighed.
"Yeah only no one here has thrown up like I did." She sighed.
"And that's how you became captain, you threw up." Crystal laughed, earning a playful shove from Emerald.
Marie smiled as Niro looked at the computer, no doubt impressed by the performance.
"They have such good chemistry...almost as if they shine better when they perform together..." He admitted, already selecting his choice members in his head.
The song continued everyone enjoying themselves.
"Will enough tears make me give up? Will enough love make my dream come true?"
Suddenly everyone felt the building that Willow blasted crumble, sending shock waves through the area. The staff held onto each other before an alert showed up on the computer screen.
The others were on the ground, with Yui shielding Marina.
"Is everyone ok?" She asked as she received nods from the others.
"Everyone, one of the Hyperforce members has lost control and is now wreaking havoc." Marie said over their communicators.
"What?!"
Trent looked to a huge amount of smoke that was rising from not too far away.
"It's Willow!" He exclaimed as everyone turned to him.
"We're going to get the Gary Stus out there to help-"
"We can't! They might hurt Willow!" Brittany argued.
Yui smiled.
"Marie, let us handle defense."
"Huh?!"
"The Starlights always protected their fans when needed to, and Brittany and Trent's friends needs our help. Use our understudies and we'll take care of everything." Yui proposed.
Marie was silent for a moment.
"You have my permission, make sure they don't come near the park!"
Yui nodded and turned to Skyla.
"You need to stay here and lead the understudies." She said.
"M-me?" Skyla asked, making sure she heard her right.
Yui nodded and placed her hands on her shoulders.
"The concert needs to continue and they'll need you to guide them. Besides, you said you wanted to be captain right?" She asked with a smirk.
Skyla's eyes brightened and she nodded.
"Of course!"
"I'm turning on the flying platforms so you'll get there quicker." Marie's voice came over the communicators.
Everyone, minus Skyla, rushed to the main part of the stage as pieces of the stage they were standing on broke off and lifted into the air.
"Will enough farewells make me turn my back? Will enough experiences bring us together?" The group sang as the left for the battle.
The understudies rushed out as Skyla smiled.
"Damn, I have some completion for the captain position. Everyone! Let's make this concert the best it's ever been!"
"Skyla..."
"But don't forget, we're Starlights! We don't just perform, we're there for our fans!"
Everyone smiled and grabbed their mics.
"It's my generation!"
As Sage tried to fire at Willow but was caught off guard when he felt a bolt of electricity hit him.
He turned to the others, ready to kick his ass.
"Trent! Brit!" Amanda gasped, smiling.
Brittany turned to Chiro.
"Go after Willow, we'll distract him." She said.
The Hyperforce nodded and turned to Willow, who was ready to burn down everything.
"Team! Let's do this!" Chiro yelled as the team went after her.
"Dreams are like reincarnation, like déjà vu," Trent sang, creating a large lightning bolt and going after Sage.
"Is he singing while fighting?" Sage thought as he tried to get him away.
Yui smirked and kicked him out from under his feet but he felt a blast of energy hit her and she fell to her side. Skelemandarin shook a bit as he got up.
"Oh no! I'm not loosing this!" He growled before attempting to go after them. Iris however kicked him away before he could do anything else.
"Yui?"
Yui got up and rubbed her arm.
"I'm fine, it's just a scratch." She said.
Sage growled and created two electricity fire balls.
"Oh it's on now!"
Willow tried to blast them away, but everyone kept dodging.
"Let me through! Or I'll rip your hearts out!" Willow growled.
Antauri's heart aches when he saw her, he knew she didn't want this to happen. Now it was happening anyway.
Arwen turned to the others.
"We need to calm her down before she really fully turns into her dragon form. If she does, the city might as well turn into a barbecue." She advised.
Nova nodded.
"Willow you need to calm down!"
"Why should I?! That bastard hurt Antauri!"
Antauri went up to her.
"Willow I am fine now, Otto reactivated me." He said.
Willow glared.
"That doesn't take the things he said back, like how my species is full of imperialistic annoying bitches and how I am too temperamental?! He must die!"
Antauri went up to her even more.
"Don't get too close! You'll burn!" Gibson yelled.
However, Antauri ignored him.
"I know what he said, but you have to realize the things he said was to hurt you! Yes, you may have a temper, but we don't mind!"
"Yeah I mean look at me and Mandarin." Nova pointed out.
Willow growled as more black scales began to cover her.
"That's right, Willow, your flaws just make you, you!" Amanda yelled.
"Oh yeah?! What about that aura?! I bet if I didn't have it, none of you would be even speaking to me! You might have just left me in that cell." Willow growled.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Willow, we've already said we'd be your friend no matter what!" Jinmay said.
"Lies!" Willow hissed, backing up.
Antauri stepped closer to her.
"Willow this morning, remember when I wanted to tell you something about your aura but I decided to leave it be?" Antauri asked.
Willow growled, ready to slash him away.
"Well when Brittany's mother came to us she said something I think will make you happy."
Willow raised an eyebrow as Antauri was right in front of her. Willow wanted to hurt him, but a part of him just couldn't do it.
"She said you got some control over your aura ever since last year, so we became friends with you somewhat on our own accord."
Willow froze after he said this. Did she just hear him right?
"W-what?"
Antauri smiled and held her claw like hands. They felt cold and rough, which made him felt a bit scared. Yet he looked into her eyes.
"You do have control of your aura Willow, some of it at least. This is why we said that no matter what, we'd still be your friends. It's even more adamant now than ever." He said.
Willow looked towards the others. She saw the kindness in their faces and felt her own anger dissipating. Antauri held her hands tighter.
"This also means you can have more control over it if we help you, that is if you let us." Antauri said.
Willow's lower lip trembled.
"But Antauri...look at me, who'd want to help someone like me? Someone who is half Sueronian and can turn into this?" She motioned herself.
"Just who'd want to help or like someone like me?"
Antauri smiled and floated up to her.
"You have no idea how much you matter. Even if you can turn into this or even if you have a bad temper, people still care about you despite that. Even if you don't seem to see it at times." He said before cupping her face.
"Just know that no matter what happens Willow, we'll always be there for you. We love you...I love you." He said softly before pressing his lips against hers.
At that moment all of Willow's black scales melted away, her teeth returned to normal, and her wings disappeared. She froze for a minute before kissing back, smiling. A sudden rush of energy took over the two. Willow pulled back.
"I love you too."
And everyone in a hundred mile radius all collectively thought, "Finally!"
Then Trent and the others were flung to the group, Sage right behind them.
"Okay! Now that I'm done with these few pests, it's time to really finish the job!" Sage huffed.
Willow and the others rushed over to Brittany and Trent.
"Hey Willow, we distracted him for you." Trent coughed.
Suddenly dark figures came from the ground around Sage.
"Also guess who can make minions now!?"
Yui pointed at them.
"He surprised us with minions." She huffed as they all got up.
Sage smirked.
"Even Sueronians can't seem to bring me down! That's actually kind of hilarious." Sage snickered as his minions stepped closer.
"So I guess this is it for you Willow, any last words before these guys rip you limb from limb?"
Willow growled but noticed her necklace was glowing a bit. She held it a bit as Arwen too noticed it's glow. Arwen looked to the others and noticed the determination on their faces and looked back at Willow. The power from everyone's determination and power primate were reacting with Willow's necklace!
"Willow I think you might want to use your necklace right now."
"What?"
"Just do it!"
Willow looked back down at her necklace, which was now surging with power from everyone. The minions and Sage began to trudge forward.
"Guys, place your hands on my necklace right now!"
Everyone looked at her, confused.
"Why?"
Arwen groaned.
"Trust the dang necklace and do it!" She huffed, placing a hand on it.
The team looked at each other before doing the same. A sudden bright light and a surge of power overcame everyone and stopped Sage, shielding his eyes before the light dimmed. A pure white aura came from the group as Willows appearance has changed. Her black and red streaked hair was longer and she wore a long white dress with the neckline dropping around her shoulders and the hem was open to reveal a skirt in the front.
The Sueronians looked at each other and smiled.
"She just unlocked her ultimate power in her jewel." Yui said, impressed.
Sage backed up a bit, overwhelmed by the amount of power they seem to hold now. However he shook his head and morphed black energy in his hands. He turned to his minions.
"Well what are you waiting for? Fight them!"
Willow and the others looked at each other and smiled. Trent looked at Willow.
"We'll take on the minions, you guys take on Sage." He said as Arwen joined him.
Willow blinked but nodded.
"Hyperforce-!" Chiro began.
"Go!" Everyone yelled as the second to last song began to play.
Sage charged at them as the team began to break formation.
"No matter what happens," Willow thought.
"We always have each other." Antauri thought as the two went back to back.
"Even if you reach out your hand." The two began.
"It won't reach," Antauri sang with Willow repeating.
"It won't reach our dreams yet." They sang as they blasted Trent with a mix of Power Primate and Sueronian energy.
Sage fell back as he powered up his dark magic.
"Our dreams still lie," Sprx and Chiro sang.
Sage then attempted to blast the group with his dark magic.
"Much, much further in the distance." The team created a large white shield to stop the dark magic from hitting.
Marie looked over at the screens that showed what was happening.
"I...guys you need to see this!"
The staff quickly went over as Niro wanted to keep watching the actual concert. He looked down at a few buttons and pressed them, presenting them on the huge screen on the stage.
"Even the stars of the sky," everyone else sang while Marina used her wand to unleash a long electrifying pink ribbon.
"We'll make you fall in love with us yet!" She chirped as the minion turned to dust as the pink ribbon wrapped around it.
"Are billions of light years away,"
Violet used the flying platforms to ram into several before jumping off and kicking one.
Iris used a sword she carried to slice and cut down many minions. She turned to Brittany slicing down minions, but didn't notice the one behind her. Iris sliced it down before it could hurt her.
"Shining beyond the shadows."
Sage used his fire electricity balls and attempted to hit Willow and the others, but he was hit by Brittany's powered up ice shards. He quickly got back up and attempted to attack again. Just what was happening?! They were so powerless compared to him before but now?! It was like all of them was sharing the exact same energy!
"Let me speak of hope, like a nameless poet with passion."
And they were all singing! How in all that's holy did they know this song?!
"If you find yourself broken down in tears, rather than consoling you,"
Sage growled as he dodged each attack that was thrown at him before unleashing a huge amount of dark energy at Willow and Antauri. They created the large white shield but it was beginning to break down. Everyone turned and used their energy to keep the shield in tact.
"let me speak of the coming dawn."
Antauri and Willow turned to each other. The team has never been in this much good shape before, nor have they felt this amazing. Was it because of the necklace? Or was it because of their relationships between each other? Sage limped a bit, the injuries of the battle starting to get to him. Arwen grinned.
"Team we need to weaken him and get the choker away from him among all else!"
Everyone agreed.
Gibson looked off and noticed a large amount of minions sneaking through the alleyways.
"Chiro! The minions are heading for the park!" He exclaimed.
"Are you serious?!"
Willow looked over and before anyone could do anything, lasers shot down at them. Somehow the Brain Scrambler was flying over where the minions were gathered and shooting them down.
"Who is flying the Brain scrambler?" Antauri asked.
Willow blinked before realizing.
"Mandarin!"
Back at the robot, Tilamat was typing quickly on his laptop while Mandarin looked over his shoulder.
"And the award for most insane while in labor goes to-!"
"Tilamat just because I'm in labor doesn't mean I can't help!" Mandarin huffed.
Tilamat rolled his eyes.
"Also get them down there! They can't escape!"
"Yes mother."
Chiro smiled.
"Looks like Mandarin has that covered, now team let's finish this with our combined power!"
The team grouped together.
"Let us speak, speak of hope."
Now the staff and many of the members watched the show in awe. Not only that but the audience and the singers were watching too. They were amazing by how radiant and powerful the team was.
"Their aura..they way they fight...the way they perform..." Marie breathed.
"They're just like the first generation Starlights!" Emerald gasped.
"Like a nameless poet."
The team began to charge a huge combination of power as Sage began to attack again. He felt electrician sparks on his back as Trent tried to stop him.
"If you ever doubt yourself just keep, walking without hesitation." Everyone sang with power and intensity.
Sage began to charge up his final attack, feeling so much frustration and hatred.
"I won't lose to any of you! Not for a single second!" He screamed.
"Let us speak of hope, like a nameless warrior, someday,"
He blasted a huge amount of combined fire, electricity, and dark magic at them, causing the Sueronians behind him to fall back. However it was completely useless as the team's combined power primate and magic charged past it and headed right for Sage.
"We'll live for our dreams." Everyone finished.
From the sheer force of the energy, Sage was blasted into a wall. That energy caused all of the minions to disappear too.
It was silent before the audience began cheering. Willow sighed happily as the team turned to each other, smiling. Sage fell to the ground in agony. Willow walked over to him and took the choker away from his neck. Sage's body began to turn back to normal.
"So...where are you keeping Diamanda?" She asked.
Sage weakly lifted his head.
"I'd rather die than tell you." He growled.
Willow was about to ask again but she dodged a blast of energy. Everyone turned to Skelemandarin holding himself up by the wall next to him, also weak.
"You...little...idiot!" He growled at Sage, going over to him.
Sage didn't look at him as Skelemandarin held him up by one arm, with the other he held up his morphed gun.
"So! I guess it's that time again!"
Willow growled and began to after him when Chiro held her by the shoulder. Skelemandarin and Sage backed up, a huge white aircraft suddenly appearing.
"Mandy...no...we need to win!" Sage whined.
"Now you understand my pain, but for now we need to leave again. It looks like we have a lot more training." Skelemandarin said, glaring at the team.
Sage was about to argue but he felt too weak.
"I'm sorry about earlier."
"Next time don't go into a power rage and fight your creator! You're lucky I'm so forgiving!" Skelemandarin huffed.
"Oh no you don't-!" Willow growled but Chiro stopped her again.
"Willow wait!"
Willow turned to him.
"But-!"
"For now Willow, let them go. We'll get them again." Antauri said.
Willow stared at him but sighed.
Antauri turned to Skelemandarin as the two hopped into the ship.
"I do hope you reconsider your choice, Mandarin. The Alchemist said you could have been so much more." He pleaded.
Skelemandarin turned to him, letting the words sink in.
"I'm already so much more." He grinned before the hatch shut and they blasted off.
The team watched as they went away, knowing that the battle wasn't over yet.
Willow felt Brittany hug her.
"That was amazing you guys!" Yui exclaimed as the Sueronians rushed over to them.
"Yeah you guys were amazing! I've never seen a Sueronian use the ultimate power in her jewel before and have her friends share the power too!" Iris gushed.
Amanda blushed and scratched her chin.
"T-thanks."
Willow snickered at her sister.
"That did feel...amazing." Sprx breathed.
"Yeah, like we were all fighting as one." Jinmay agreed.
Willow looked down at her necklace and held it up.
"Dad..."
Arwen placed a hand on Willow's shoulder.
Suddenly the Sueronians communicators went off.
"Everyone! That was probably the most amazing performance I've seen! Get back to the ship and get ready for the selection ceremony." Marie's voice commanded.
"Right away!" Yui said and everyone began to go onto the flying platforms.
Trent and Brittany stopped before turning to the others. Trent ran up to Willow and hugged her tightly.
"Good luck." Willow muttered as Trent let go.
Trent nodded as Brittany went past him.
The two were silent for a bit.
"Go good luck to you too." Willow finally said.
Brittany nodded.
"It's amazing, a year ago we hated each other over something that you couldn't control." She said.
"Yeah but now we're friends." Willow said.
Brittany nodded.
"Come on!" Yui called.
Brittany and Trent turned.
"We gotta go." Brittany said before the two went to their flying platforms and got on them.
" 'Life is nothing but goodbyes' someone once said those words," the Sueronians began, finishing off the concert.
They all looked at each other and held hands.
"But if that's all there is, then why did we meet to begin with?"
The raised their arms up as they went back to the park. All of the auditionees entered into the stage as the group came back.
"You got the numbers counted?" Niro asked.
Marie nodded, smiling.
"And I got the names ready too. Get the stage set after this song!" Marie ordered.
"All people are travelers who meet and part, in a never ending cycle. Each time they gain, memories and new guiding lights. "
Nova bear hugged Sprx.
"That was amazing!"
Sprx snickered and kissed her.
Willow groaned as she looked down at her burned foot.
"Let's get that checked out." Arwen said.
"Yeah, can we cut my hair too? Please?" Willow huffed before Antauri floated next to her.
"I wouldn't mind either way, you've always had lovely hair." He said.
Willow covered her red face.
"Stop!" She squeaked.
"Come on, don't you look at me with those tearful eyes. Let me see your smile!"
Chiro turned to the robot, seeing the brain scrambler head back for the robot.
"Let's go home team." He said.
"Right!" Everyone said as they began to walk home, with Arwen carrying Willow.
Skyla and Yui waved to the audience before noticing something on the large screen.
'The Captain and co captain position has been decided!'
Skyla blinked.
"Co-captain?!" She exclaimed.
Yui rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, you can't handle a big team by yourself can you?" She huffed.
Skyla blinked but nodded.
"Y-yeah."
"Someday, somewhere out there, believe in the power of fate to bring us together."
Yui grabbed her hand.
"So, good luck."
Skyla nodded, knowing that even if she doesn't become captain, Yui will make a amazing captain too. However, she better get co captain because she deserves that too.
"I know that I'll see you again, so until that day,"
Everyone backed up into one huge line as the curtain began to fall.
Trent and Brittany waved.
"Don't you forget me, it's a promise!"
The curtain fell as the music faded away, and cheers erupted from the crowd.
I love writing scenes like upgraded team vs Sage. That was just too amazing help. Thanks for reading!
