Mugi was on her knees, as her dark energy was disappearing, after Ritsu & Tory sacrificing themselves to save the others. Mio was still in pain, as Lan whispered, "Tory… You did that to save us. Thank you, friend."

Mio said, "You hear that? You lost!"

Mugi sniffled, as she whispered, "I am so sorry… Ritsu-Bot… did that… for me?"

"You sensed it, too. Ritsu… She didn't have to, but it's the only way. The master will be very disappointed with you."

Mugi whispered, "Will I be dismantled?"

Mio replied, "I do not know… but it won't be long, since you are not powered by a gem. I can reattach it, so you can live. And for Ritsu's sake, I wanted you to be happy. If you haven't told me about your boyfriend, I'd help you. I can help you reunite with Ginti. But since you chose to ignore KEION's orders, I am afraid that you'll never see him, ever again."

Mugi wept, as she apologized, "I'm so sorry… I wanted to be happy. And Nao and Sumire… they used me, as a puppet."

"No. The Master created all of us."

Mio helped Mugi up, as she bowed to Mio, and smiled saying that she'll never hate again. Mugi closed her eyes and went on her knees. Her body was stiffened, as she stopped moving. Mio whispered, as she went to her, "Come on, Mugi. I can fix you. You can see Ginti again, someday…"

However, Sonia looked through the amethyst and saw through Mugi's stunt. She was lying.

"No, Mio, it's a trap!" Sonia cried, "She's trying to kill you! She's still evil!"

Mio gasped, as Mugi smirked evilly, tilting her head up. She grabbed Mio's neck and laughed, "AH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

She slammed her to the wall, as Lan cried, "NO!"

Geo cried, "LET HER GO!"

Mugi sneered, "Sucker! How would you know about Ginti? Nao & Sumire made me lose him! I became the master's puppet… to be away from my Ginti, forever! And you ruined EVERYTHING!"

The rest of MegaStar was helpless, as Mugi was about to destroy Mio. But then, Mugi heard a voice.

"MUGI! STOP!"

Mugi stopped, as she recognized the voice, "Ginti? Is that you?"

Mio coughed, as she asked, "Mugi…"

Mugi heard her boyfriend's voice, as he said, "Mugi… Stop this. I can't let you hurt anyone, anymore."

"Ginti! Why are you doing this? Ginti?"

She was hearing Ginti's voice, as Mugi was looking around. She looked for Ginti, as she saw him, in a vision. He called to her, as she said, "Ginti… It's you."

Lan asked, "What the hell?"

Geo asked, "Is she malfunctioning?"

Ginti said, "I still love you. Don't be evil for me…"

Mugi nodded, as she reached for him. Mio then cried, "MUGI!"

Mio grabbed Mugi's head and bashed her into the wall, repeatedly. Mugi did not try to break free, as Mio finished. Mugi's head started to crack from her forehead, as she heard Ginti's voice. He reached over her, as he said, "Mugi… Let's go home…"

Mugi reached for him, as she said, "Ginti…"

He started to cry, as he smiled to her. He started to fade away, as Mugi cried, with her vision going to static, "Ginti! NO! Wait! Ginti! Don't leave me! No… No… Ginti! And we just reunited…"

She barely sat up, as she was still reaching for Ginti, in her vision, as she was starting to crack up from her skin, and leak out black fluid from her mouth and eyes. She spoke, in a distorted voice, "Gint-nt-nt-nt-nt-nt-nt-nti… Come baaaaack… Co-co-co-come back… Ginti… You promised that you looooooove me… I want you… waaaaant-waaaaaaant… Ginti… Please… Don't'… leave me…"

She stopped moving, as her eyes went black, "Dooooooooooooon't… leeeeeeeeeeeeeeave… meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…"

She stopped speaking. Her head suddenly fell off, breaking into small pieces. Her body started to smoke, as Mio whispered, "It's over. Finally…"

She turned to the Black Amethyst, as she concluded, "Thank you, Ritsu… Tory…"

She collapsed, as Geo caught her. Mio was weakening, as her chest panel opened. Mio's gem was getting worse.

"Geo…" Mio whispered, as she was weakening, "I'm afraid… it's time…"

Geo sobbed, "No… Don't leave me… I already lost Maylu and Tory! I can't lose you! MIO! You die, how will you revive my friends?"

Sonia sobbed, "Please, no."

Mio held his face, as she said in a weak voice, "Geo… Out of all the men I have ever met… you were the only one… who truly made me… realize… how much love you… gave me… Even so… My gem cannot be replaced, at all… And Mugi's gem… It's useless to me, anyway…"

Lan looked at the green gem, as he said, "Uh, Geo… I think we could use Mugi's gem… but…"

Geo huffed, "I have a bad feeling you'd say "But…". What is it?"

Lan said that Mugi's gem is already damaged. It cannot be used as Mio's replacement. And she cannot use Ritsu's, anyway. Sonia then said, in a sad voice, that it's really over.

Geo cried, "After all that, we cannot save you, at all?"

Mio held his arms and smiled, "It's fine… I deserve better… and I deserve to rest… Geo… I… love… you…"

She leaned towards Geo, as she was about to kiss him, one final time. But…
Smash!
The blue gem suddenly exploded into little shards of glass, as Geo & Mio's lips touched. Mio was frozen stiff, as Geo stopped kissing her. He sobbed, "No… Mio… No…"

Mio's eyes went blank, as tears rolled down her face. Her smile remained, as she was still holding Geo. Geo hugged her, and then started to cry. He bawled for the one girl he truly loved. But her gem was destroyed, as it was too much she could take. Mio has died.

Lan whispered, "Geo… I'm so sorry."

Sonia smiled and said, "It's alright. It's over. Mio can rest now…"

Lan asked, "Hey, wait! What about Ritsu's gem? It's still whole."

Sonia replied, "It's no use. Mio's gone forever. And I don't think that Ritsu's gem will ever work."

Lan sighed, "So, she's truly gone…"

Sonia hugged Lan, as Geo was still crying over Mio, who was no longer living.

But suddenly, Yui started to sit up slowly, as she spoke, with her eyes closed, "Lan…"

She opened her eyes, as they were blackened with red pupils. Lan said, as she stood up, "Yui~! She's alive~!"

He cheered, "Hey, guys! Yui's okay~!"

Sonia barked, "You're so heartless!"

Yui grabbed Lan's hand, and then threw Lan to a wall. She then beeped in a demonic tone, "Kill Yui!"

Sonia gasped, "LAN!"

She whispered, "OH, NO! Yui… Mugi manipulated her… while we were rescuing her. Why did I not miss that?"

Sonia cried, "GEO! Leave Mio! Get Lan and run!"

Geo cried, "Why?"

Yui grabbed Sonia's hair and hissed, "Kill Mio! Kill Lan!"

Sonia cried, as she was thrown to a wall, "That's why-aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

She landed on the back of her head and collapsed onto the floor, in a seated position, out cold and knocked out. Geo cried, "SONIA!"

Yui beeped, as Lan was getting up, "Kill Mio! Kill Lan!"

Geo shivered, "Mio's already dead…"

Yui responded, "Sorry. I am not obligated to respond to your pleas. She is fully operational, except that she needs a new gem."

Geo cried, "But she has no spare gem!"

Yui beeped, as she smirked, "No? Good."

She roared, as she lunged at Geo, "DESTROY!"

Lan tackled Yui down and hugged her. Lan cried, "YUI! YUI! SNAP OUT OF IT!"

Yui clasped onto Lan, as she started to squeeze him, "I want you, Lan, to die. Kill Lan!"

Geo cried, "LAN! GET OUT OF THERE!"

Lan was moaning, as he pleaded, "Yui… Don't you remember me?"

Yui responded, "Yes. And you're inferior. Die!"

Lan yelled, "NO! I love you! Don't do this!"

She replied, "Error! You are inferior!"

Lan cried, "Please… break free… I know it's you… You're… You're the one I love… Yui, do it for me… For Mio! For Ritsu!"

Yui squeezed even harder, as Yui beeped, "Kill! Kill! Kill! I hate you, Lan! I hate you! I hate you!"

Lan was wailing in pain, as Geo cried, "STOP IT!"

Sonia was coming to, as she saw Lan being squeezed out of his life. She shrieked, "LAAAAAAAAAAN!"

Lan was fading, as Yui replied, "I hate you. I want to see your spine break. I hate you!"

Lan responded, "Please… If you won't do it for me, or your friends… Do it for her…"

He cried, "DO IT FOR AZUSA!"

Yui stopped, as her eyes widened, "Azusa? Azu-. Az… u… sa…? Azu-, Azu-, Azu… Nyan?"

Her eyes teared up, as she started to remember Azusa.

In her vision, she saw Azusa, in a small bridge, near a pond, as she was running to her. Azusa was smiling, as she waved to Yui. Yui lunged at Azusa and gave her a great big hug, out of her love and affection. Yui said to her, "I love you, Azu-Nyan~! You're my best friend~!"

Azusa giggled, "Thank you, Yui-Senpai. I love you, too."

Her visions faded, as Yui sobbed, "I… I… Azusa? Azu-Nyan…"

Her eyes squinted, as she was crying, "Azu-Nyan… Azu-Nyan!"

She hugged Lan, as she started to cry on his chest. Mugi's manipulation was no match for Yui's true love for her friend, Azusa Nakano. She bawled, "Why? Why did she have to die? Azu-Nyan! AZU-NYAN!"

Lan comforted her, as he whispered, "There, there. It's okay. You still have me, right?"

Yui sniffled, "Lan… Oh, Lan…"

She hugged her, as Yui as happy to see Lan, again. He said, "Welcome back."

Yui sniffled, as Sonia was laughing. She smiled, "Lan…"

Yui said, "What happened? Last time I recalled, I was in your room, having sex…"

Lan said, "Oh, yes. But it doesn't matter where we are. I love you."

Yui smiled, "Lan…"

Lan gave her a spare LOVE Button and said, "Here. And this time, I'll be careful."

He carefully pinned it on, as Yui giggled, "Thank you. It's beautiful."

"It's not just a global movement… but for you, it's special…"

They were about to kiss, as Yui freaked out. She screamed, "MIO!"

She ran to her, as Yui gasped, "OH, NO! Her gem… it's broken…"

Lan said, "I know. Mio died, saving your lives… but we lost her, Ritsu, Maylu, and Tory, along the way."

Geo sniffled, as she said, "Please… Do you have a spare gem?"

Yui said, "Huh? A spare gem? Well, Mugi's is working fine."

Sonia said, "No, it isn't. It was damaged, before she was consumed by the dark aura of the amethyst."

Yui sobbed, "Oh… then all is lost. I cannot use Ritsu, since she's destroyed. Mio…"

She held Mio, as she said, "I'm going to care for her, like I did the others. And soon, the master will send me a new gem for Mio. I promise that she'll come back. The master will be sad to learn of this disaster, but at least Mio & I will be the last KEIONs left, at least for now. I'll do it, for Azusa's sake, and protect Mio. Right, Mio?"

She smiled, as Mio remained stiff and motionless. Yui hugged her, as she was sobbing. Yui said, as she concluded, "Even now… There are no gems left… to awaken Mio. We need a miracle…"

Sonia sighed, as she whispered, "I know… But… Where are we going to get a new gem?"

A booming voice called, "RIGHT HERE!"

Yui gasped, "Ri-? Ricchan?"

Ritsu's voice called from inside the amethyst, as she said, appearing in an astral projection from inside, "It's me, Yui. Mio's dead, isn't she?"

She nodded, as Ritsu said, "It's alright, everybody. Tory and I somehow made sure that the hold on us KEIONs will not be abused and corrupted again. Mugi's gone, but we know that she wants to be happy, for Ginti. He still loves her. It's just that she was his only ray of light. And Mio, well, she wanted to learn about love, rather than becoming a tool of destruction. The master understands that, I hope."

Sonia said, "I'm sure she does. Or he does. But still, who the hell is this master of yours?"

Ritsu said, "I am sorry. But I am not obligated to respond. It's classified."

Lan cried, "OH! WHY TO GO, YOU STUPID ANDROID! You won't tell us, and you're going to let Mio be a mannequin, until the new gem?"

Ritsu said, "It's not true! My gem is still whole, and I care for it, because it's precious. Yui, attach my gem to Mio's body. It's whole, so it should work, and could not be strained."

Geo yelled, "But we don't know if it'll work!"

Ritsu said, "Don't worry. It'll take time for her to be compatible with it. But after that, the master will recode your cells to a newer power source. My time here is short, and so will this Master Amethyst."

Yui nodded, as she said, "I'll do it, Ritsu… Thank you."

Ritsu smiled, "Don't mention it. Oh, and Lan… Geo… Sonia…"

She responded, "Tory said that he's leaving the band, to stay with me. He says goodbye."

Lan smiled and said, "Tell Tory that we'll miss him. And thanks for saving us."

Ritsu replied, "Don't mention it… Mio… This may be the last time I will see you. Geo, take good care of her."

She disappeared, as the amethyst started to fade into a darkened color. Its powers suddenly vanished, and with it, Ritsu and Tory. The amethyst was no more. Geo replaced the gem in Mio's small intent, and closed her panel. Mio started to move, as Mio blinked. Geo whispered, "Mio…"

Mio smiled, as she said, "It's… of no… use… Ritsu's gem…"

She closed her eyes and faded, "Good… bye… … …Geo…"

She froze again, as Geo was sad. He sobbed, "Mio… You can't go now…"

Yui sobbed, as she held Lan, who says that Ritsu's gem didn't work. Mio was really gone. Geo then hugged her prone body, as Mio suddenly started to move. She tugged his shirt, as she whispered into Geo's left ear.

"Geo… … …Gotcha."

Geo gasped, as Mio's eyes were opened, as she smiled, "I didn't want you to be happy, sooner. I wanted to know if you really loved me."

Geo laughed, as he hugged Mio. Sonia couldn't stop crying for joy, as Yui jumped up and down, cheering for Mio to be back. Lan smiled, as he looked up to the sky, "Maylu… Tory… You can now rest. Thanks, guys."

Geo & Mio shared one final kiss, before leaving the basement, to start living a new life together. They all departed from the altar, as the Dark Amethyst was nothing more than a huge shiny rock.
